US jobs market sees biggest downward revision since 2009
The US jobs market was probably cooler than expected in the year through March, Labor Department data showed Wednesday, signaling weaker but still-positive growth. US employers were estimated to have added 818,000 fewer jobs than initially reported for the 12-month period, meaning job growth in the world's biggest economy was lowered by 68,000 per month. The drop was less dramatic than the one million loss predicted by some economists.

Walz wows DNC with vow to defeat Trump

Democratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz brought down the house at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Wednesday, promising to fight alongside running mate Kamala Harris to keep former president Donald Trump out of office. The folksy Midwesterner was introduced through his life as a national guardsman, teacher and football coach. Walz vowed to bring that same fighting spirit to the table to defeat Trump in the November election. The DNC closes tonight with a much-anticipated appearance by Harris.

Venezuela delimma: Democracy or dictator?

Venezuela is at a crossroads, with strongman Nicolas Maduro doubling down on his disputed reelection victory and the opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia and his supporters vowing to resist "to the end." The choice appears between entrenching authoritarianism or democratic change. Three weeks later, with 25 deaths, dozens of injuries and more than 2,400 arrested in spontaneous anti-Maduro protests in the 48 hours following the vote, nothing has changed.
