Blake Lively's sexual harassment claims against Justin Baldoni over the movie "It Ends With Us" were dismissed Thursday by a federal judge who left intact three claims, including retaliation, that will let a jury hear many of the allegations anyway.

A pharmacist takes medication from a shelf at a pharmacy in Provo, Utah, U.S. Photo: VCG Chinese pharmaceutical makers are positioned to comfortably evade a sweeping new 100% U.S. tariff on patented drugs, insulated by their reliance on exporting raw materials and a booming strategy of licensing domestic drug rights to overseas partners. The long-brewing U.S. barrier on pharmaceutical imports has officially landed. In a fact sheet released April 2, the White House announced that Donald Trump is authorizing a 100% tariff on patented drugs and their underlying components. The aggressive levies will go into effect in 120 days for large enterprises, while small and medium-sized businesses have a 180-day grace period. Patented drugs typically encompass original brand-name therapeutics and their modified iterations.

Turkey’s annual inflation slowed in March more than economists expected, despite economic pressures stemming from the Iran war. Annual price growth came in at 30.9%, according to data released on Friday by the national statistics agency TurkStat. The rate in February was 31.5%, and the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of 20 analysts was 31.4%. Monthly inflation slowed to 1.94% from 2.96% the prior month, falling well short of the median forecast of 2.34% in a separate poll of 16 analysts. The economic effects of the war in the Middle East, including surging energy prices, threaten a disinflationary trend that had already begun slowing late last year. Turkey is especially vulnerable to such shocks because it neighbors Iran and is a major oil and gas importer. In response, the country’s central bank put the brakes on a rate-cutting cycle last month, even delivering a veiled interest-rate hike. Central bank Governor Fatih Karahan told local media earlier this week that the monetary authority would continue to maintain a tight policy for disinflation. But despite government measures to cushion the impacts of the war, rising energy costs are still expected to have inflationary effects. Ahead of the release of the data, economists with ING Groep NV said rate cuts are probably not on the table “at least for the next few months.”
From controlling the weight of aircraft to sending more flights to Europe via Russian airspace, Chinese airlines have adopted a range of measures in response to the surge in oil prices resulting from the Middle East conflict that threatens to crimp their razor-thin margins.

From controlling the weight of aircraft to sending more flights to Europe via Russian airspace, Chinese airlines have adopted a range of measures in response to the surge in oil prices resulting from the Middle East conflict that threatens to crimp their razor-thin margins. A number of carriers, including China Eastern Airlines, have been enforcing more precise and complex cost management measures in recent weeks to save fuel, according to industry insiders. They include stricter load and weight...
