This week's top stories of the week include: 0:15 Which nations are middle powers? – Conflict and competition are on the rise around the world, when cooperation is needed more urgently than ever and trust in global institutions is waning. This is where the world’s middle powers can make a difference. 4:31 Renewable energy doubles in MENA – Renewables could meet 26% of the region’s energy needs by 2050, say experts. They can also unlock a significant source of carbon credits for trading on carbon markets which could help countries meet their emission reduction goals committed to in the Paris Agreement. 6:13 Severe floods are on the rise – Dubai has been hit by its heaviest rainfall since records began. A year’s worth of rain fell in a single day on 16 April bringing much of the state to a standstill. Experts say the rainstorm was caused by the effects of climate change on Dubai’s weather system. 9:33 Glasses boost Bangladesh income – A study involved 824 people from 56 villages in Bangladesh. Researchers gave half of the participants reading glasses straight away. While the other half received them after 8 months. In that time, the median monthly income among the group with glasses grew from $35 to $47, a rise of 33%. _____________________________________________ The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation.

Play Video: FAA investigating after Boeing says South Carolina workers falsified 787 inspection records

The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it has opened an investigation into Boeing after the beleaguered company reported that workers at a South Carolina plant falsified inspection records on certain 787 planes. Boeing said its engineers have determined that misconduct did not create “an immediate safety of flight issue.” In an email to Boeing's South Carolina employees on April 29, Scott Stocker, who leads the 787 program, said a worker observed an “irregularity” in a required test of the wing-to-body join and reported it to his manager. Download the WCNC Charlotte mobile app for the latest breaking news, weather and traffic alerts. “After receiving the report, we quickly reviewed the matter and learned that several people had been violating Company policies by not performing a required test, but recording the work as having been completed,” Stocker wrote. Boeing notified the FAA and is taking “swift and serious corrective action with multiple teammates,” Stocker said. No planes have been taken out of service, but having to perform the test out of order on planes will slow the delivery of jets still being built at the final assembly plant in North Charleston, South Carolina.

Play Video: Palantir is an overhyped AI company, analyst says

Palantir (PLTR) shares are sliding in after-hours trading even after the tech company raised its full-year guidance. RBC Capital Markets Software Equity Analyst Rishi Jaluria joins Yahoo Finance to break down Palantir's first quarter earnings and the market's reaction amid an artificial intelligence race. Palantir topped its first quarter sales expectations yet saw a decrease in US commercial growth from 70% to 40%. Jaluria attributes the slow US commercial growth to Palantir's status as an "over-hyped generative AI beneficiary company," pointing to mixed messaging around its artificial intelligence capabilities and skepticism over its boot camp strategy. "Everyone wants to play the AI game...I just don't think Palantir is that cutting-edge generative AI company that they claim it to be," Jaluria warns, pointing to more established tech companies like Microsoft (MSFT) as a stronger option. #youtube #news #Palantir About Yahoo Finance: Yahoo Finance provides free stock ticker data, up-to-date news, portfolio management resources, comprehensive market data, advanced tools, and more information to help you manage your financial life. - Get the latest news and data at finance.yahoo.com - Download the Yahoo Finance app on Apple (https://apple.co/3Rten0R) or Android (https://bit.ly/3t8UnXO) - Follow Yahoo Finance on social: X: http://twitter.com/YahooFinance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yahoofinance/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@yahoofinance?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yahoofinance/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/yahoo-finance
