☆ Ford's latest EV blunder increases the odds we'll drop the stock, if there's no progress this quarter
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Ford Motor (F)'s decision to halt production and shipments of its electric pickup truck further undermines our confidence in the automaker. CEO Jim Farley said the weak earnings were a function of the automaker's transition to a new business structure that limited production capacity, combined with poor execution. "It's inexcusable that Ford had a bad quarter," Jim said at the time. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade.

☆ Meloni: Italy does not seek 'pat on the back' from Europe

BRUSSELS, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Italy's government is looking to defend its national interests within the European Union rather than getting "pats on the back" from other EU leaders, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said on Friday. Meloni, who heads a right-wing nationalist administration, reiterated that she thought France had made a political mistake by inviting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to Paris on the eve of the summit for a dinner with the German chancellor. "What was right and important was the picture with all the 27 EU members with Zelenskiy. That is strongest message you can give," she said, adding that the French initiative did not take into account the importance of European unity.

☆ Why Tom Brady was overlooked in the NFL Draft and why it was more than luck that led him to the Patriots

Tom Brady was the 199th pick in the NFL Draft and is now considered the greatest quarterback ever. They hired Bill Belichick, and the team made the biggest steal in NFL Draft history: selecting Tom Brady in the sixth round. Tom Brady was just a part-time starter at the University of Michigan. Drew Bledsoe was only 28 years old when Tom Brady was drafted. The result was the biggest steal in NFL Draft history.

On Friday he seemed to end speculation over Maher's future - for now, at least - telling reporters, "Brett has the ball." "The goal is to get back into whatever routine he's had in the past that has made him so successful," said Beilock. So they're really in the zone, if you will," said Perea. "The sad thing about all this, is that when you have an outing like that, people will doubt you," said Perea.

Inside the Oval Office, the U.S. president praised Japan for its "historic" increase in defense spending and pledged close cooperation on economic and security matters.

"Japan is stepping up and doing so in lockstep with the United States," White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said. Kishida also discussed with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron his hopes to improve security cooperation between Japan and their respective nations. Kishida met with Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday before his meeting with Biden to discuss U.S.-Japan space cooperation and other issues.

☆ Damar Hamlin remains center stage of key Bills-Pats matchup

Damar Hamlin, the 24-year-old Bills safety who went into cardiac arrest during Buffalo's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night, will be at the forefront of hearts and minds. Good news came Thursday when Buffalo announced that Hamlin has shown "remarkable improvement" and "appears to be neurologically intact" despite remaining in critical condition. Every team across the league has been offering their support, too, and the Patriots (8-8) were no exception. McDermott said Thursday that Mario Hamlin, Damar's father, told Bills players to focus on Sunday's regular-season finale because it is what Damar Hamlin would want. "They got several good players, but (Josh) Allen by himself is a tough matchup for any player, any defense."

☆ What happened to former Chinese leader Hu Jintao?
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Analysis Cnn Staff | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +8 min

China's former leader Hu Jintao is lifted from his chair by a young aide at the closing of the Communist Party Congress on Saturday. Neither has the incident been reported in Chinese language media, or discussed on Chinese social media, where conversations around senior leaders are highly restricted. Former Chinese leader Hu Jintao is taken by the arm and escorted out. “For whatever reasons, Xi ordered Hu to be escorted out when he must have thought that Hu might not behave exactly as Xi would have wanted,” he said. Former Chinese leader Hu Jintao pats the shoulder of his protege, Premier Li Keqiang.

Then, two men led Mr. Hu — who appeared reluctant to go — out of Beijing’s Great Hall of the People. Was Mr. Hu, 79, suffering from poor health, as Chinese state media would later report? When the aide finally succeeds in coaxing Mr. Hu from his chair, Mr. Li, the No. As the two aides begin guiding Mr. Hu away from his seat, the older leader stops to say something to Mr. Xi. The state broadcaster’s news program that night showed footage of Mr. Hu voting, and then his empty seat later in the ceremony, without explanation.

Credit: Javed Iqbal/CNNDozens more children sleep cramped together on beds in the facility’s emergency room; some unconscious from their illness, others crying in pain. And then our patients came in like the floods,” said Dr. Nazia Urooj, physician in-charge at the hospital’s children emergency unit. This is the face of a near unprecedented health crisis unfolding across Pakistan – but for many, help is not arriving. In Sindh, one of the worst-impacted provinces, villages have been completely cut off, making it nearly impossible for families to seek help for their sick children.

Las Vegas police said Monday they are investigating a fan's contact with the quarterback of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals immediately after the team's win Sunday. Video shows someone in the stands at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium reaching over fans at the end zone barrier and making contact with the face of the Cardinals' Kyler Murray with an open hand. Murray had just skipped past the end zone and toward the stands to celebrate his team's walk-off win with back-pats and high-fives. Murray's representative, the Cardinals and the team's opponent and host Sunday, the Las Vegas Raiders, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Arizona defeated Las Vegas 29-23 when cornerback Bryon Murphy Jr. recovered a fumble and returned it for a touchdown in overtime.
