Sandstorms, high winds prompt Beijing to cancel hundreds of flights and close parks
"High winds and the threat of sandstorms prompted Beijing to cancel hundreds of flights and
close public parks, as massive gales felled hundreds of trees, crushing cars and damaging older homes across China's capital.
Beijing's two massive international airports, Beijing Capital and Daxing, canceled 693 flights by 2 p.m. local time, with warnings of more violent weather on its way, especially in the country's north and along coastal areas.
More flights and trains were canceled in other parts of China. Some parts of the country recorded their most powerful winds in more than 75 years, registering at up to 92 mph.
Weather agencies in China blamed the poor air quality on a sandstorm sweeping across northern China from northern Mongolia, where authorities there said it had left several dead, before being carried south by winds." CBS

US teen plotted to kill Trump and flee to Ukraine
"A Wisconsin teenager accused of murdering his parents had also plotted to assassinate US President Donald Trump and flee overseas while framing Russia for the crime, according to an unsealed FBI affidavit.
Nikita Casap, 17, was charged last month with first-degree murder after police found the bodies of his mother and stepfather, both shot in the head, inside their Waukesha home. He was arrested in Kansas after fleeing in a stolen vehicle with $14,000 in cash, passports, and the family dog. Officers also recovered an unloaded revolver, boxes of ammunition, and two cell phones during the traffic stop.
“Casap appears to have written a manifesto calling for the assassination of the President of the United States. He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States,” the warrant unsealed on Friday stated.
“The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carry out his plan,” it added.
The FBI alleges that Casap paid, at least in part, for a drone and explosives intended for use as a “weapon of mass destruction.” The affidavit states the equipment was meant to support the planned attack.
Messages uncovered on his phone showed Casap discussing the plot with an unidentified user on Telegram. On January 21, he asked, “What country will be blamed for the crime?” The user replied, “Russia will be blamed for it, this is the goal.”
Casap’s phone also contained conversations with a user using a Ukrainian phone number, appearing to discuss a post-attack escape plan. “How long will I need to hide before I will be moved to Ukraine? 1-2 months?” he asked. “So while in Ukraine, I’ll be able to get a normal job and have a normal life? Even if when it’s found out I did it?” he added." RT

China Escalates With 125% Tariff On US Imports, Signals Will "Ignore" Future Retaliation
"Around the close of Hong Kong trading hours, Beijing retaliated against President Trump's
tariffs by hiking levies on U.S. goods to 125%, up from the prior 84%. In a notable shift, the Chinese Communist Party announced it would "no longer respond" to any further tariff increases from Washington.
As the week concludes, the U.S. and China are locked in a heated, once-in-a-century trade war. Earlier, President Trump announced a 90-day suspension of additional country-specific tariffs for countries that have refrained from taking retaliatory measures—an apparent attempt to isolate China and use tariffs to get Beijing to strike a trade deal."

Russian intelligence ship located in Irish-controlled waters not responding to communication
"A Russian Navy intelligence-gathering ship is being tracked through Irish-controlled waters
and is refusing to respond to communications from the Naval Service.
The Viktor Leonov, a 100m vessel from the Russian Navy’s Northern Fleet, was spotted by the Irish Naval Service earlier this week. It is being tracked by LÉ Samuel Beckett as it sails through the Irish Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Defence sources said the Beckett has attempted to hail the Leonov and establish its purpose in Irish-controlled waters.
The Russian ship has acknowledged receiving the communication but has refused to communicate further. It is believed the ship’s eventual destination is Cuba." IrishTimes

Trump Outmaneuvers Markets, Allies, and China in One Day
"Whiplash: Markets Rally as Trump’s Tariff Strategy Becomes Clear--
What looked like the start of a global financial panic turned into a show of strength from the White House and a stunning rally on Wall Street.
The Dow jumped 6.98 percent, the S&P 500 shot up 8.19 percent, and the Nasdaq exploded 10.34 percent—one of the best days for equities in a decade.
This wasn’t retreat. It was redirection. The president pulled off a flash launch, turning a tariff-induced selloff into a strategic masterstroke.
And while the door opened for negotiation, the hammer came down on Beijing.
“Based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the World’s Markets, I am hereby raising the Tariff… to 125%, effective immediately,” Trump wrote.
Less than 13 hours after new reciprocal duties went live, the president recast the entire framework: allies get breathing room, China gets the boot."
