'Spatial computing', 'blended reality', 'the metaverse'. For those of us who still use screens and keyboards to access the digital world, those phrases might not mean very much. But many experts believe the '2D' internet will soon be a thing of the past, and we will all be, one way or another, in a 3D metaverse.

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: Tesla faces federal investigation: What we know so far

Tesla is being investigated for securities and wire fraud for self-driving claims. Transcript: CONWAY GITTENS: I’m Conway Gittens reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Here’s what we’re watching on TheStreet today. Wednesday was another mixed day on Wall Street. The Dow is up six days in a row - in the longest winning streak of the year. But the S&P 500 was down fractionally, as was the Nasdaq. Investors are contending with a mixed bag of earnings, as well as speeches from Federal Reserve officials, which suggest policymakers are in no rush to lower interest rates. Corporate results are keeping investors busy. Up next on the earnings calendar for Thursday: Warner Brothers Discovery, Krispy Kreme, and Yelp. Turning to one of the biggest stories of the day: Tesla is the subject of an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Authorities are looking into whether Tesla engaged in securities or wire fraud when describing the functions of its Autopilot system, according to a Reuters report. While Tesla has said Autopilot will help with braking, lane switching, and steering, it has warned the technology should not be considered as fully autonomous. But, authorities are looking into statements made by Tesla and CEO Elon Musk - that might have led investors and customers to believe cars using Autopilot are fully self-driving. Wire fraud is committed when a person or entity deceives customers in interstate communications. Securities fraud involves the act of misleading investors. Tesla is also under scrutiny by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency is digging into the safety of Autopilot after numerous crashes - some fatal - where Autopilot was in use. That’ll do it for your daily briefing.

A Houston-bound Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Southwest Airlines returned safely to Denver International Airport on Sunday after an engine cover fell off and struck the wing flap, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency said it will investigate. In recorded air traffic control audio, one of the pilots said that “several passengers and flight attendants heard something loud hit the wing.” In a statement to CNN, Southwest said passengers would take another plane to Houston and would be approximately three hours behind schedule. “We apologize for the inconvenience of their delay but place our highest priority on ultimate Safety for our Customers and Employees,” the statement said. Southwest said no injuries were reported. Boeing declined to comment and referred CNN to Southwest for information about plane and fleet operations. #boeing #CNN #News
