The implications are profound. Will this shift in power plunge Syria deeper into chaos and violence? Could this upheaval trigger a domino effect, destabilizing an already fragile region as foreign and regional powers vie for influence?

An interstellar musical voyage

Chinese astronaut Wang Yaping played a zither rendition of the song "The Jasmine Flower" in China's Space Station on Feb 15 this year to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Music isn't only a method for astronauts to keep connected with people on Earth, but also a carrier of messages sent into orbit in the hope of reaching out to other intelligent life and to exhibit human civilization. In this edition, we'll introduce several Chinese musical masterpieces that were sent into space during China's lunar exploration mission in 2014. The versions we present to you today were contributed by the prestigious China National Traditional Orchestra, also known as the CNTO. Renowned musicians and an art director with the ensemble will join us today to share the musical expression of each work and elaborate on their significance.

Trump escalates tariffs

The screw tightens as the U.S. doubles down on its tariff measures on April 2, a so-called “Liberation Day", according to President Donald Trump. Sweeping tariffs unveiled a minimum 10 percent tariff on all trading partners, as well as so-called "reciprocal" actions on dozens of countries. Under Trump's plan, the U.S. will add a new 34 percent tariff on Chinese goods, on top of the 20 percent tariff that he has already imposed on Beijing in recent months. Will this plan truly "Make America Wealthy Again"? What's on Trump's mind this time around? How will the global economy bear the pressure?
