Worst Economy in a Decade. What’s Next? ‘Worst in Our Lifetime.’
U.S. gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced in the economy, fell at a 4.8 percent annual rate in the first quarter of the year, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. That is the first decline since 2014, and the worst quarterly contraction since 2008, when the country was in a deep recession.

Trump to order meat-processing plants to continue operating amid pandemic
Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order on Tuesday meant to soften the blow of a chicken and pork shortage among other meat on American supermarket shelves.
The order will use the Defense Production Act to classify meat processing as critical infrastructure, forcing meat production plants to stay open as the president and agricultural leaders say the coronavirus outbreak is threatening the country’s food supply.
Jair Bolsonaro faces inquiry into claims of meddling with police
“The president of the republic … is also subject to the laws, just like any other of the country’s citizens,” the supreme court judge Celso de Mello noted in his decision on Monday night.
“No one, absolutely no one, is entitled to infringe and show contempt for our country’s laws and constitution.”
Fate of Vaca Muerta oil and gas fields may point to way forward on fossil fuels
Whether the post-pandemic world moves back to fossil fuels or forward to a clean economy will become clearer in the coming weeks as the International Monetary Fund and Argentina decide whether to continue support for the vast Vaca Muerta oil and gas fields in Patagonia.
Analysts say Vaca Muerta (which means Dead Cow in English) is now among the most economically vulnerable fossil fuel projects in the world. Climate campaigners believe it could be one of the first places where a decision is made to “keep it in the ground”.
The Argentinian government threw the project into limbo last week, when the minister of productive development, Matías Kulfas, called Vaca Muerta “an issue that will have to wait” until the crisis was over. Last month, the chairman of Argentina’s national oil company, YPF, said the oil price collapse “puts all Argentine oil production in doubt”.

Coronavirus : le Parlement chinois tiendra sa session annuelle le 22 mai
L’ampleur du soutien à apporter à l’économie devrait être au centre des débats.
Frédéric Lamaître
C’est traditionnellement au cours des deux sessions que le premier ministre fixe l’objectif de croissance annuel. Qu’en sera-t-il cette fois-ci ? Après un recul inédit du produit intérieur brut de 6,8 % au premier trimestre, les dirigeants chinois vont-ils se résoudre à anticiper une croissance de 1,2 % telle que le prévoit le Fonds monétaire international ?
Une seule chose est à peu près certaine : Xi Jinping, président de la République et secrétaire général du PCC, devrait essayer de consolider davantage sa suprématie, en mettant en avant la gestion de la crise sanitaire provoquée par le Covid-19.
A l’ONU, Emmanuel Macron se pose en ultime défenseur du multilatéralisme
Covid-19, la déflagration géopolitique 2/3. Le président français souhaite organiser au plus vite un sommet entre les cinq membres permanents du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies pour organiser une coopération.
Philippe Bernard
L’idée est en réalité antérieure à la pandémie. Le président français et son homologue russe, Vladimir Poutine, en ont discuté dès la fin de 2019. A l’époque, leur motivation est en partie commune : le chef du Kremlin souhaite affirmer que son pays demeure une des grandes puissances mondiales alors que se renforce la prééminence des Etats Unis et de la Chine ; le locataire de l’Elysée se pose en défenseur ultime du multilatéralisme, seul système international garant de la paix et où l’Europe peut faire entendre sa voix.
L’Union européenne va examiner l’annulation de la dette africaine demandée par le G5 Sahel

En Libye, le maréchal Haftar déclare prendre le pouvoir, Tripoli dénonce un énième « coup d’Etat »
L’homme fort de l’est libyen prétend qu’il dispose d’un « mandat du peuple » pour gouverner seul le pays, en proie au chaos.
Washington et l’Union européenne (UE) ont aussi condamné, les Etats-Unis regrettant la « suggestion » de M. Haftar, qualifiée de démarche « unilatérale ». « Pour nous, l’accord politique libyen et les institutions qui en découlent restent le seul cadre de gouvernement internationalement reconnu en Libye », a déclaré de son côté à New York le porte-parole de l’ONU, Stéphane Dujarric. Cette position s’inscrit dans « la ligne des résolutions de l’ONU » adoptées à propos de la Libye, a-t-il rappelé.
Mais, selon Jalel Harchaoui, de l’Institut Clingendael à La Haye, si Khalifa Haftar exige maintenant que l’Assemblée « se soumette entièrement à l’armée », « il est peu probable qu’une dissidence se manifeste contre le coup de Haftar ». Le président du Parlement pourra aussi « difficilement tenir tête ouvertement au maréchal ».

Democracy 'weakened and undermined' worldwide — study
BY MELISSA SOU-JIE VAN BRUNNERSUM
Germany's Bertelsmann Stiftung has said that the number of people who are governed poorly and less democratically is increasing. The study found that inequality and repression are weakening the global market economy.
The German foundation said Wednesday that the main causes of diminishing democracy globally are abuse of power and cronyism, which in turn widen social and economic inequalities.
For the sixth time in a row, the ratings of the BTI for the quality of democracy, market economy and governance have declined, now to their lowest since the BTI survey began. Of the 137 countries currently assessed, the BTI regards 74 as democracies and 63 as autocracies.

COVID-19: Nanomachines to be deployed to fight next viral pandemic
BY JULIAN RYALL (TOKYO
Japanese researchers have had success with miniscule robots that are small enough to get inside and neutralize a cancer cell — and they want their creations to be ready to deal with future outbreaks of lethal viruses.
They could swarm through a human body, identifying, diagnosing and then infiltrating virus particles to destroy them from the inside, while others "train" immune cells to attack viral particles.

Hay asimismo "evidencia significativa de operaciones encubiertas de China en las redes sociales", añade el informe.

U.S. Economy Shrank at 4.8% Pace in First Quarter
Gross domestic product recorded steepest contraction since the last recession
By Harriet Torry
The U.S. economy shrank at a 4.8% pace in the first quarter as the coronavirus spread, the steepest contraction since the last recession.
The steep drop in first quarter U.S. gross domestic product, the broadest measure of goods and services produced across the economy, indicated the economy is sliding toward a near-certain recession and signaled the end of the longest economic expansion on record.

Boeing Cuts Workforce, Production in Response to Coronavirus
Aerospace giant to halve output of its 787 jetliner and resume 737 MAX output at a low initial rate
By Doug Cameron and Andrew Tangel
Boeing Co. plans to cut jetliner production and 10% of its workforce in response to the airline industry’s coronavirus-driven crisis, but said it has sufficient funding options to adapt. Travel bans and restrictions are expected to halve global air travel in 2020, with an uncertain recovery spread out over several years that has left airlines unwilling or unable to take new planes.

After Firing Its Bazooka, ECB Could Reload to Fight Coronavirus
ECB’s virus response has been more modest than the Fed’s, but some expect it to boost stimulus
By Tom Fairless
Investors expect the European Central Bank to scale up its giant bond-buying program, possibly as soon as Thursday, as it seeks even more firepower to help support eurozone governments blunt the economic damage wrought by the coronavirus pandemic. Since the public-health and economic crises erupted in Europe last month, the ECB has stepped in with a €750 billion ($812 billion) program to buy bonds, including sovereign debt.
Globalization Is Down but Not Out Yet
By addressing flaws exposed by pandemic, nations could build a wiser, more resilient global system
By Greg Ip
Globalization was on the ropes when the pandemic delivered a gut punch. Barriers to trade and immigration, already on the rise, have been joined by travel bans, border closures and restrictions on medical exports. Trade volumes are in free fall. Yet Covid-19 doesn’t have to split the world apart. Whether the global order fragments or emerges wiser and more resilient depends critically on the lessons that national leaders draw.

Airbus Focuses on Cash in Crisis, But Positions to Outdistance Boeing
European plane maker says it won’t need government bailout; plans to “right size” company for post-pandemic future
By Benjamin Katz
Airbus SE said it expects to come out of the coronavirus pandemic in a stronger competitive position than its rival Boeing Co., as it balances navigating a sharp drop in jetliner demand with positioning itself to go on the offensive once the crisis eases. Airbus, which eclipsed Boeing last year as the world’s biggest plane maker by deliveries, said its focus now is cash preservation, as airline customers defer and cancel orders.
GE Hit by Steep Decline in Jet Engine Business
Conglomerate says it is cutting $2 billion in costs in response to coronavirus pandemic
By Thomas Gryta
General Electric Co. said it was cutting $2 billion in costs to offset falling sales and profits, as the company’s aviation business was hit hard by the virtual halt to air travel because of the coronavirus pandemic. The conglomerate’s first-quarter revenue fell 8% and it posted operating losses in several of its business units, but the unit that manufactures and maintains jet engines was hardest hit.
Spotify Adds Subscribers, Lowers Revenue Guidance Amid Ad Pullback
The coronavirus pandemic has dented ad sales and seen users listen more at home
By Anne Steele
Spotify Technology SA continued to add paying and advertising-supported users in the most recent quarter, but it lowered its revenue guidance for the year as ad sales were dented amid uncertainty around the coronavirus pandemic.
The global health crisis began to affect the business in late February, the company said, with a notable decline in daily active users and consumption in hard-hit markets such as Italy and Spain. Listening has started to rebound in recent weeks, with consumption in many markets “meaningfully recovered.”

U.S. Stocks Jump on Virus Drug Hopes; Oil Surges: Markets Wrap
U.S. stocks advanced amid renewed hopes for a drug to fight the coronavirus, helping investors shrug off data showing the biggest economic contraction since 2008 in the first quarter. The dollar slipped. The S&P 500 Index climbed more than 2% after Gilead Sciences Inc. said that its experimental drug to treat coronavirus helped patients recover faster. Big tech shares added to the rally, with Google parent Alphabet Inc. pacing gains after posting better-than-estimated sales. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index headed for a third straight advance. Italy’s bonds slipped after Fitch Ratings cut the nation’s assessment to the lowest investment grade. WTI oil futures rebounded after plunging 27% in two sessions.
Oil's Collapse Is a Geopolitical Reset In Disguise
From Russia to Mexico, U.S. foreign policy makers face new risks and opportunities.
The world is on the cusp of a geopolitical reset. The global pandemic could well undermine international institutions, reinforce nationalism and spur de-globalization. But far-sighted leadership could also rekindle cooperation, glimmers of which appeared in the G-20’s offer of debt relief for some of the world’s poorest countries, a joint plea from more than 200 former national leaders for a more coordinated pandemic response and an unprecedented multinational pact to arrest the crash in oil markets.
Uber CTO Steps Down as Company Reportedly Weighs Job Cuts
Uber Chief Technology Officer Thuan Pham is stepping down after seven years as an executive at the company. Uber Technologies Inc. has been hit hard by the coronavirus’s impact on the travel industry, as global transportation has ground to a virtual standstill. The company may also be mulling job cuts of as much as 20%, according to tech news site the Information, which also reported on Pham’s departure earlier on Tuesday. Uber had about 27,000 employees at the end of last year.
U.S. Economy Shrinks at 4.8% Pace, Signaling Start of Recession
The record-long U.S. economic expansion is over after almost 11 years, with what’s likely to be the deepest recession in at least eight decades now under way. The world’s largest economy shrank at a 4.8% annualized pace in the first quarter, the biggest slide since 2008 and the first contraction since 2014, as the need to fight the coronavirus forced businesses to close and consumers to stay home.

Bolsonaro y Moro, en la mira de la justicia
Cuando la omertá se rompe. El Supremo Tribunal Federal abrió un investigación sobre los presuntos ilícitos cometidos por Jair Bolsonaro y el exministro de Justicia y Seguridad Pública Sergio Moro. El capitán retirado y el otrora juez de la causa Lava Jato fueron actores determinantes de una sociedad casi mafiosa --junto a jueces, editores y banqueros-- que se conjuró contra el régimen democrático, primero en el golpe que derrocó a Dilma Rousseff en 2016 y luego en 2018 para encarcelar y posteriormente proscribir de las elecciones a Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
Como hacen los arrepentidos ( los "pentiti" de las películas de la Cosa Nostra) Moro rompió el pacto de silencio con el presidente el viernes renunciando al ministerio con revelaciones serias que dieron lugar al proceso iniciado de manera inusualmente rápida por el Supremo. Con base en esos dichos, el fiscal general de la República, Augusto Ares, solicitó el inicio de una investigación que fue abierta este lunes por el juez Celso de Mello, el más antiguo miembro del Supremo.

La decisión fue publicada en el Diario Oficial, donde el mandatario también anunció el nombramiento de Alexandre Ramagem, un hombre de confianza del clan Bolsonaro, como nuevo director de la Policía Federal, en lugar de Mauricio Valeixo, cuyo despido motivó la salida de Moro.
