# China se ekonomie het in die eerste drie maande vanjaar met vyf-persent gegroei en oortref alle verwagtinge te midde van die Israel/Amerikaanse oorlog in Iran. Die verbetering vanaf 4,5-persent in die vorige kwartaal word toegeskryf aan vervaardiging, voertuie en ander uitvoere. China is die wêreld se tweede grootste ekonomie en die wêreld se grootste […]
# Die vakverbond Cosatu sê gegewe die vakante ambassadeurspos in Amerika en die gespanne bilaterale verhouding, moes die pos lankal gevul wees, met die uitsluiting van regse Afrikaners.

# Die Britse eerste minister, Keir Starmer, sê hy gaan nie toegee aan druk van president Donald Trump om by Amerika en Israel se oorlog teen Iran aan te sluit nie.
