Uncertainty over China’s economic trajectory and geopolitical tensions are top of mind for many Chinese millionaires, in dollar terms, who choose to leave their country, according to the report by investment migration firm Henley & Partners.

“The lifestyle in Japan is very appealing with beautiful public gardens and golf courses, plus it’s ranked among the safest countries on earth according to the Global Peace Index,” Amoils said.

The United Arab Emirates remains the most attractive destination for the world’s rich with its zero income tax, luxury lifestyle and “golden visas” for investors, the investment migration firm said.

Hannah White, CEO of think tank Institute for Government in London and who provided analysis for the report, partly attributes these flows to uncertainty over the U.S. election in November and the potential for a second Donald Trump presidency.

“As the world grapples with a perfect storm of geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty and social upheaval, millionaires are voting with their feet in record numbers,” Volek said.

“In many respects, this great millionaire migration is a leading indicator, signaling a profound shift in the global landscape and the tectonic plates of wealth and power, with far-reaching implications for the future trajectory of the nations they leave behind or those which they make their new home.”

While Trump celebrated the ruling, many legal and political analysts sounded the alarm about its implications, with some arguing it places presidents above the law.

Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, wrote early Monday afternoon that she would introduce articles of impeachment against the court in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

Congress has the authority to impeach and convict Supreme Court justices, a key check on the judiciary’s power.

Only one justice has ever been impeached—Justice Samuel Chase in 1804 after Congress accused him of refusing to dismiss biased jurors and of excluding defense witnesses in two politically sensitive cases.

Even if Democrats were to support impeachment, it would likely face hurdles due to Republicans’ narrow control of the House of Representatives.

“Today’s Supreme Court decision to grant legal immunity to a former President for crimes using his official power sets a dangerous precedent for the future of our nation,” wrote House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Biden has not given any indication he will end his re-election bid after a stumbling debate performance last week.

But it’s a scenario that was discussed during a tense call between the campaign’s aides and donors Sunday.

“This has this unique twist to it with Harris still being a part of the campaign and being considered part of the campaign from the get-go,” said Kenneth Gross, a senior political law counsel at Akin Gump and former associate general counsel for the Federal Election Commission.

Gross said he was unsure if Harris would be unable to access the funds if she remained the party’s vice presidential nominee without Biden.

Claire Rajan, a former FEC litigation attorney who leads Allen & Overy’s political law group, also agreed Harris could likely access the funds as the party’s presidential nominee, but was doubtful she could do so as the running mate to a different standard-bearer.

Rajan and Gross also noted that if Biden steps aside, the funds could be transferred to a charity or a super PAC, which would not be able to coordinate with the campaign.

According to a statement from the company, the rocket was not sufficiently clamped down and blasted off from the test stand “due to a structural failure.”

Video of the accidental ascent showed the rocket rising several hundred meters into the sky before it crashed explosively into a mountain 1.5 km away from the test site.

The statement from Space Pioneer sought to downplay the incident, saying it had implemented safety measures before the test, and there were no casualties as a result of the accident.

Located in the Henan province in eastern China, alongside the Yellow River, Gongyi has a population of about 800,000 people.

Typically, during a static fire test, the mass of propellant on board a vehicle combined with strong clamps hold a rocket down.

This was a notable achievement, but the rocket’s engines were provided by a Chinese state-operated firm, the Academy of Aerospace Liquid Propulsion Technology, rather than the private company.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is expected to announce measures to improve German-Polish relations — including by compensating the still-living Polish victims of Nazi crimes — during a visit to Warsaw on Tuesday.

“It is to be expected that the chancellor will announce that something will be done … for the people who suffered under German Nazi rule in Poland and who are still living and, for example, do not have adequate health insurance and experience poverty in old age,” Paul Ziemiak, the secretary general of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the country’s biggest opposition force in parliament, told POLITICO’S Berlin playbook podcast.

With the expected announcement, Scholz aims to further improve his country’s relations with Poland after Prime Minister Donald Tusk took office last year.

The countries’ relationship sharply deteriorated under the former Polish government, which was ruled by the populist right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party.

Scholz is expected to announce the initiatives during a press conference alongside Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Tuesday.

Security cooperation to deepen Germany’s support along the country’s eastern flank will be a key part of the consultations, according to a senior German official.

PARIS  —  After his snap election gamble backfired, Emmanuel Macron faces a bitterly painful choice: pull his candidates out to try to stop the far right, or attempt to save what remains of his once-dominant movement before it dies.

Europe’s second-biggest economy and the EU’s only nuclear-armed power is now closer than ever before to ushering in a far-right government for the first time, after Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) took a dramatic lead in the first stage of voting.

If the second-round vote on July 7 delivers a parliamentary majority for the National Rally — and forecasts suggest it’s possible — France will be in uncharted waters: The country would be governed, at least in part, by politicians who made their names sympathizing with Vladimir Putin while vowing to rip up the European Union, wage war on migration and quit NATO.

Now his centrist allies face enormous pressure to pull out of the race in many areas and advise their supporters to vote for the left-wing alliance, which includes far-left radicals, in an attempt to beat Le Pen.

The far-left France Unbowed party and its leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon has emerged as arguably an even greater foe for the centrists than Le Pen, after a year spent fighting in the National Assembly.

The clearest sign of the cordon sanitaire breaking came from Macron ally and former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, who explicitly called on voters to oppose the National Rally and France Unbowed, too.

Macron, who took office in 2017 after having incinerated France’s traditional centrist parties to create his own movement, has taken full advantage of what he called the French presidency’s “Jupiterian” prerogatives, which include the right to dissolve Parliament and stage new legislative elections annually if he wishes.

Yet in deciding three weeks ago to do just that — call snap elections that left most of his own cabinet ministers and closest aides flabbergasted and furious — Macron laid bare the perils of investing one man of titanic self-confidence, and self-regard, with such immense powers.

Conceivably, they could also produce a majority for the nationalist National Rally party of Marine Le Pen, which could blow up the decades-long project of European integration and hand a dream gift to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

His dizzying descent was turbocharged last month when he called the snap vote for France’s National Assembly, an unnecessary response to his faction’s drubbing in far less consequential elections to the European Parliament.

Convinced of his own powers of persuasion, Macron, 46, unleashed a blizzard of statements, podcasts, speeches and commentary meant to justify his decision and warn against voting for the extremes.

The ideas he holds dear — liberating markets to unleash the economy and empower entrepreneurs, and forging a unified, muscular Europe that can counterbalance Russian and Chinese power and hedge against an inconstant, unreliable United States — are strategically sound.

A couple of months ago, I was sitting in the audience at a tech conference in San Fransisco watching Bloomberg’s Emily Chang interview Reid Hoffman.

Not only had Microsoft (where Hoffman is a board member) hired most of Inflection’s employees — it also licensed the startup’s technology in a way that seemed designed to make its investors whole.

Last Friday, Amazon announced that it is hiring most of the team behind Adept, another would-be OpenAI competitor that raised about $400 million from top-tier investors to build, in the words of CEO David Luan, “a new type of giant model that turns natural language into actions on your machine.”

In an internal memo published by GeekWire’s Taylor Soper, SVP Rohit Prasad said that, like Microsoft with Inflection, Amazon will also be licensing Adept’s technology to “accelerate our roadmap for building digital agents that can automate software workflows.”

Adept’s corporate blog post about the news suggests it was running out of money: “Continuing with Adept’s initial plan of building both useful general intelligence and an enterprise agent product would’ve required spending significant attention on fundraising for our foundation models, rather than bringing to life our agent vision.” Recent reports say the company has been looking to sell itself.

Reid Hoffman, meanwhile, should probably be congratulated for more than just an accurate prediction about the future of these deals — one of Adept’s earliest investors was none other than his venture capital firm, Greylock.

Silvergate said it had an effective anti-money laundering (AML) program tailored specifically to crypto but actually didn’t adequately monitor “approximately $1 trillion” in transactions, the complaint says.

Days after the crypto exchange declared bankruptcy, the bank run that would ultimately kill Silvergate had begun.

Lane, aware of social media chatter about Silvergate, asked the bank to review its relationship with FTX.

He denies any wrongdoing and intends to challenge the SEC’s claims in court,” said Lurie, who was also directly quoted in a statement Katz said was his.

At the heart of the SEC’s allegations is the network Silvergate ran to allow crypto customers to transact at all hours, called SEN.

Though Silvergate said SEN was safe, the SEC says the network wasn’t being automatically monitored for suspicious transactions for “at least 15 months prior to November 2022.”

Hackers could have added malicious code compromising the security of millions or billions of people who installed them, researchers said Monday.

The vulnerabilities, which were fixed last October, resided in a “trunk” server used to manage CocoaPods, a repository for open source Swift and Objective-C projects that roughly 3 million macOS and iOS apps depend on.

“Injecting code into these applications could enable attackers to access this information for almost any malicious purpose imaginable—ransomware, fraud, blackmail, corporate espionage… In the process, it could expose companies to major legal liabilities and reputational risk.”

The three vulnerabilities EVA discovered stem from an insecure verification email mechanism used to authenticate developers of individual pods.

This vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-38367, resided in the session_controller class of the trunk server source code, which handles the session validation URL.

The trunk server relies on RFC822 formalized in 1982 to verify the uniqueness of registered developer email addresses and check if they follow the correct format.

The results, described in a memo by campaign pollster Geoff Garin of Hart Research, were circulated with the intent of calming Democrats, who fear that Biden’s stumbles could undermine his candidacy.

The campaign is hoping to head off any high-profile defections in the aftermath of a performance where the president often stumbled verbally and appeared to lose his train of thought.

Garin said the weekend online poll showed that Trump holds a narrow lead in a head-to-head contest, similar to the one he held in a survey conducted in May.

But large majorities of those voters continue to support him in trial heats, and Garin said they responded favorably when shown a video of Biden’s more energetic performance on the trail Friday in North Carolina, which the campaign has used in a television ad.

Biden’s team had pushed for the debate as an early opportunity to show the president’s command of the job, but that strategy backfired given a performance where his speech often meandered or trailed off.

The Biden campaign poll of 1,805 registered voters was conducted Saturday and Sunday in seven battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

One of Kazakhstan’s richest men has denied wrongdoing after organising a party on a superyacht that is suspected of igniting a forest fire with a fireworks display.Daniyar Abulgazin is one of eight Kazakh nationals who were on board the luxury vessel last month, and who are being prosecuted for complicity to arson by the Greek authorities.The businessman rented the yacht Persephoni and was in the area when the blaze burnt through 300 acres on the island of Hydra, south of Athens.Greece is grappling with its first heatwave of 2024, and firefighters have been battling several wildfires every day.Initially, authorities alleged that fireworks were launched directly from the yacht, but now Greek media report they may have been launched from a beach on the island after people on Persephoni took a boat to shore.The case has sparked outrage in Greece, further fuelled by reports that the yacht’s passengers flew home shortly after the 21 June fire.In a statement, Mr Abulgazin said he had rented Persephoni for a week, and flew home the following day - which was always the plan.

He said he had spoken to “representatives of the Greek authorities, who did not make any claims against me or my guests in connection with this incident”.He was “surprised” to later learn of the allegations being made, Mr Abulgazin said.Crew arrested after yacht fireworks spark Greece blazeVolunteer firefighter dies battling Greece blazeHe added that he was “very saddened" by the fire, but that neither he nor his guests did anything that could have led to it.

"We strictly followed the fire safety rules established on the yacht.

Neither I nor my guests asked the crew of the yacht or any other third parties to take any actions that could lead to a fire," he said.He also promised full co-operation with the Greek authorities in their investigation.

Kazakhstan has no extradition agreement with Greece so they are unlikely to have to go there to face questioning.The yacht’s captain and first mate are still being detained, while 15 other crew members who were initially arrested have been released on bail with restrictions.Mr Abulgazin is a major figure in the Kazakh petroleum industry, with a personal fortune estimated at $400m (£315m).

The NHL lifted its ban on longtime coach Joel Quenneville and executives Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac on Monday, clearing the way for their return to the league more than two years after they were punished in the fallout from the Chicago’s NHL team sexual assault scandal.

“For more than the last two and a half years, these individuals have been ineligible to work for any NHL team as a result of their inadequate response upon being informed in 2010 of allegations that [Chicago] player Kyle Beach had been assaulted by the club’s video coach,” the league said, “While it is clear that, at the time, their responses were unacceptable, each of these three individuals … has acknowledged that and used his time away from the game to engage in activities which not only demonstrate sincere remorse for what happened, but also evidence greater awareness of the responsibilities that all NHL personnel have, particularly personnel who are in positions of leadership.”

Bowman, Chicago’s general manager and hockey operations president, left his job as did top team executive MacIsaac.

The fallout included $2 million fine of Chicago’s NHL team by the league.

Bowman, MacIsaac and Quenneville can sign contracts with an NHL team after July 10.

The league said each “has made significant strides in personal improvement by participating in myriad programs, many of which focused on the imperative of responding in effective and meaningful ways to address alleged acts of abuse.”

The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control.Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy.

It is up to Congress to defend our nation from this authoritarian capture.I intend on filing articles of impeachment upon our return.

In a statement after the ruling, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that Democrats would “engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity with respect to the Supreme Court to ensure that the extreme, far-right justices in the majority are brought into compliance with the Constitution.”

But the act of filing impeachment articles represents a significant escalation in Democrats’ efforts to exercise greater oversight over the high court, which has faced numerous ethics scandals in recent years while issuing a spate of conservative opinions that have upended decades of precedent, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.

The last (and only) time a Supreme Court Justice has been impeached was 220 years ago, when Samuel Chase survived an effort to remove him in 1804 over his handling of two politically sensitive trials.

It is hoped the project will revitalise a corner of the US whose glory days seemed over.And it’s due in no small part to someone many of the residents of this Republican district would rather not credit - Joe Biden.The president’s landmark 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) – his signature green legislation - offered hundreds of billions of dollars in tax incentives, credits and loans to stimulate American manufacturing in clean energy.

The IRA is in Donald Trump’s sights.If Republican lawmakers win big in the Congressional elections that are also taking place on 5 November, then portions of President Biden’s signature climate law could be repealed, threatening a clean energy boom happening in their communities across the US.I sat down for coffee with Kasey Carpenter, Dalton’s Republican member in the Georgia House of Representatives.

We met at Oakwood Café, the bustling diner he owns along with a string of other local businesses, including a pizza joint and a boutique hotel.Mr Carpenter downplayed the potential impact on Qcells of manufacturing tax credits being rolled back.

The predicted figure for the US is $315bn.US Trade Representative Katherine Tai said last year that she hoped the US’s increased spending on renewable energy would help address the “significant distortion” in the global economy caused by China.

The aim is also to deny China any more of an opening into the US renewables market.And these massive green investments are being channelled by the Biden White House, very purposefully, into so-called red states – those that usually vote Republican.

The hope is to create a manufacturing revival before November’s presidential election.For those who work in the Qcells’ factory, the opportunity has been life-changing.Robots patrol the shop floor where solar cells are being packaged into panels.
