From the BBC World Service: New data shows China's manufacturing activity took a sharp dip in April — a sign that the ongoing trade war with the U.S. is starting to bite.

Plus, the U.K. is scrapping a centuries-old tax perk that lets wealthy foreigners shield their global assets.

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour kicks off tonight in Los Angeles. So far, tickets for the tour are cheaper and easier to get ahold of than during Beyoncé's 2023 Renaissance tour.

Plus: a drop in cargo ships from China and dealing with debt in your golden years.
