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: Paramount deal talks: How investors are viewing risks

Paramount Global (PARA) has entered into acquisition talks with Sony (SONY) and Apollo Global Management (APO), who proposed a joint bid of $26 billion to buy the media company. Last week, Paramount CEO Bob Bakish stepped down for his chief executive role while Paramount ended its exclusive talks with Skydance Media last week. MoffettNathanson Managing Director and Equity Research Analyst Robert Fishman joins Catalysts to give insight into a potential deal for Paramount. "There's lots of uncertainty that comes to play with all these different scenarios, and there's some risks involved in that too," Fishman says. "So, as an independent shareholder, really, you've been swung around and trying to understand how the future of this can go, because as an independent company going forward, there are still significant challenges ahead, and that includes fundamental challenges on the business that we follow. " Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi sat down with Apollo Global Management CEO Marc Rowan at the 2024 Milken Institute Global Conference, discussing Apollo's search for value through this Paramount deal.

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
