New Chinese tariffs on American agricultural goods will affect some $21 billion worth of U.S. exports, a Reuters analysis of U.S. census data showed. The biggest blow by value will be to the U.S. soybean trade, the country's largest agricultural export to China, which will be hit by a 10% tariff and was worth just shy of $13 billion last year, the data showed. Reuters estimated the overall impact by comparing the 740 items listed by China on Tuesday against the U.S. census' trade database.
Measles had struck this West Texas town, sickening dozens of children, but at the Community Church of Seminole, more than 350 worshippers gathered for a Sunday service. A little girl in this mostly Mennonite congregation was among those who’d fallen ill with the highly contagious respiratory disease, senior pastor David Klassen said — but she’s doing fine, and she happily played through her quarantine. What he hasn’t heard: Any direct outreach from public health officials on what to do as the number of those sickened with measles has grown to 146 and a school-age child has died.

MIPS traces its roots back to the mid-1980s, when Stanford University Professor John Hennessey co-founded the firm to commercialize a nimbler way to carry out computing tasks, called a computing architecture. MIPS chips were known for processing data very quickly in specialized applications like networking gear and self-driving cars.

Thousands of people were evacuated in Indonesia's capital Jakarta on Tuesday after floods swamped the region, officials said, with heavy rain expected to continue over the next few days. Torrential rain since Monday has triggered floods of up to 3-metres (yards) in and around Jakarta, the country's disaster agency said in a statement, blocking some roads and submerging over 1,000 houses and many cars. Jakarta Governor Pramono Anung raised the alert level to the second highest of the critical stages, calling on the local government to activate water pumps to extract water from flooded areas and conduct weather modification operations - which typically includes shooting salt flares into clouds to trigger rain before they reach land.

Lebanon’s president ended a visit to Saudi Arabia Tuesday where he discussed regional affairs with the kingdom’s crown prince after which both countries said Israeli troops should withdraw from south Lebanon and only the Lebanese state should have weapons. The visit by Joseph Aoun, the first by a Lebanese head of state to the oil-rich kingdom in eight years, improves ties between the two countries that have been cold for years over Iran’s influence in Lebanon. Aoun visited Saudi Arabia several times when he was army commander, and many in Lebanon hope that his visit as president will open the way for lifting a ban on imports from Lebanon as well as allowing Saudi citizens to travel to Lebanon.
