China says it never uses EV subsidies barred by WTO
BEIJING (Reuters) -China never makes use of subsidies for electric vehicles that have been prohibited by the World Trade Organization, a spokesperson for its foreign ministry said on Thursday. Chinese companies are producing waves of low-priced EVs that some worry could harm big U.S. automakers, some of which have focused recently on big gasoline-powered sports utility vehicles. "China's new energy products, including electric vehicles, are widely popular in the international market," Mao Ning, the spokesperson, told a regular press briefing.

US private payroll growth slows to 4-month low; small firms cut jobs
(Reuters) -Hiring by U.S. private employers slid to a four-month low in May, with small firms reducing staff, and wage gains for job changers moderated for a second month, according to a report on Wednesday that added to signs the job market is cooling. Private payrolls increased by 152,000 jobs last month - the fewest since January and well below the average of 194,000 over the past year - after rising by a downwardly revised 188,000 in April, the ADP Employment report showed. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast private employment increasing by 175,000 last month.

Scorching heat drives India's gas-fired power use to multi-year highs in May
Sweltering heat and policy measures are fuelling a surge in the use of gas-fired power in India, with imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) forecast to rise sharply over the next two years, industry officials and experts say. The country's gas-fired power generation doubled in April and May to 8.9 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) compared with the same period last year, data from Grid India showed, eating into the share of coal-fuelled electricity for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 75% of India's power generation was from coal in 2023, while gas-fired plants have accounted for only about 2% in recent years, largely because of the high cost of gas relative to coal.

A Colorado woman who was seriously injured when a freight train hit the parked police vehicle in which she sat handcuffed has reached an $8.5 million settlement, a lawyer representing two of the involved police officers said Wednesday.

Ziporin represents the two officers who worked for Fort Lupton at the time, Jordan Steinke and Ryan Thomeczek.
