"body": "ALIBABA Group Holding is selling its gaming arm in a deal worth at least US$1.5 billion that will boost the Chinese e-commerce leader's pivot to AI.\n\nAsian private equity firm Trustar Capital has reached an agreement to acquire Lingxi Games, according to an internal memo distributed on Monday (Aug 17) and reviewed by Bloomberg News. \"Alibaba is handing Lingxi to Trustar due to better focus on its strategic priorities,\" said Zhou Bingshu, chief executive officer of Lingxi Games, without disclosing the size of the deal.\n\nThe transaction may value the studio at more than US$1.5 billion, Bloomberg News reported on Aug 14. Alibaba and Trustar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.\n\nAlibaba is undergoing a broader corporate reorganisation under chief executive officer Eddie Wu, divesting non-core assets while making artificial intelligence and cloud computing a top strategic priority with the aim of reaching US$100 billion in AI revenue in five years.\n\nIn August, Alibaba released its biggest ever AI model, claiming performance on par with global leader Anthropic in the latest Chinese breakthrough to challenge US rivals.\n\nLingxi's flagship and top-grossing game, Three Kingdoms: Strategy Edition, is a massive multiplayer online strategy title developed in partnership with Japan's Koei Tecmo Holdings.

"title": "Japan Q2 growth misses forecasts on weaker spending, investment",
"body": "TOKYO: Japan's economy grew at a slower-than-expected pace in April-June, government data showed on Monday (Aug 17), as lacklustre household spending and business investment partly offset the impact of strong exports.\n\nGross domestic product rose 1.1 per cent increase in annualised terms, missing a median market estimate of 2.0 per cent growth in a Reuters poll and below an upwardly revised 1.9 per cent expansion in the previous quarter.\n\n\"Growth was positive, but the details were somewhat weaker than expected,\" said Kazutaka Maeda, senior economist at Meiji Yasuda Research Institute.\n\n\"Still, given the disappointing results are likely to have been driven by temporary factors, I don't think the latest data would suggest a weakness ahead or affect the timing of the Bank of Japan's next interest rate hike,\" which is now widely expected as soon as September, he said.\n\nThe reading translates into a quarterly rise of 0.3 per cent, compared with the median estimate of a 0.5 per cent increase.\n\nPrivate consumption, which accounts for more than half of economic output, was flat, falling short of a market estimate of a 0.5 per cent increase, reflecting the effects of tuition-free education measures and higher tobacco prices.\n\nConsumption and wage trends are key factors the BOJ is watching to gauge economic strength and determine the need for additional rate hikes.\n\nCapital spending, a key driver of private demand, fell 1.2 per cent in the second quarter, versus a market forecast for a 0.4 per cent increase.\n\nTEMPORARY DRAGS\n\nYoshiki Shinke, senior executive economist at Dai-ichi Life Research Institute, said the weakness in consumption was partly due to one-off factors, including a shift in spending into government consumption through measures such as free school lunches.\n\nHe also said the decline in capital spending may have reflected disruptions and uncertainty linked to the conflict in the Middle East, but those factors were easing and corporate investment plans remained firm.\n\n\"Overall, I think we can say that the economy had remained resilient despite slower-than-expected growth,\" he added.\n\nNet external demand, or exports minus imports, added 0.5 percentage point to growth.\n\nExports remained resilient thanks to solid US demand for Japanese hybrid vehicles and sustained global investment in artificial intelligence that supported shipments of semiconductor-related equipment and components.\n\nLooking ahead, analysts cautioned that rising import costs and mounting upstream price pressures could eventually feed through to consumers, posing a risk to spending later this year.\n\nPrivate consumption could also see a pullback in the July-September quarter, after policy and regulatory changes temporarily boosted demand for durable goods such as automobiles and air conditioners in April-June.\n\nA survey this month by the Japan Center for Economic Research showed 37 economists forecast annualised GDP growth to slow to an average 0.05 per cent in the July-September quarter.",

"title": "'Lanterns' Stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre Break Down HBO Drama's Grounded Approach",
"body": "Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.\n\nEvery Green Lantern fan knows that you don't choose the ring. The ring chooses you.\n\nTo wield that ring, to become a Green Lantern, you must be someone with an incredible amount of willpower. You also need the ability to overcome great fear. That second one might come in handy if you're Kyle Chandler or Aaron Pierre, two actors who, in \"Lanterns,\" are taking on iconic characters who have been around for more than 50 years in a radical new HBO adaptation.\n\n\"It wasn't intimidating until somebody said, 'You better not screw this up. You're going to get a lot of hate mail,'\" Chandler told TheWrap with a laugh before the premiere of \"Lanterns.\" \"I'm not a social media fella, you know? I'm a bit of a luddite, so I don't see all that. People don't usually share it with me unless they're my enemies. But you want to do good, and you want to respect what the show is all about.\"\n\nI didn't even finish asking if they had some fear in taking on the roles before Pierre responded, \"100%.\"\n\nThe duo stars in the new HBO series as Hal Jordan (Chandler) and John Stewart (Pierre), two of the most notable characters to take on the Green Lantern mantle (a mantle that's currently shared by about eight Earth-based heroes and thousands of intergalactic lawmen in DC Comics). At 60 years old and with a slew of all-star credits, Chandler is only now donning any sort of superhero suit for the first time -- albeit in a more grounded take than your average Green Lantern story.\n\n\"We have the people who created the show to guide us in that direction. Tom King is very well adept at comics. They didn't let us go far, and they answered every question we had,\" Chandler said. \"When people see the show, they'll see how the show is about people. It's a little bit different from what they may see. It's ground-based, it's emotional-based. It's like that. The space travel and what goes on with that, there's plenty of that. There's lots of action, there's lots of everything. But at the heart of it, it's these two guys right here.\"\n\nTaking the oath\n\nThe characters of Hal Jordan and John Stewart have been pulling off superheroics for decades on the pages of DC Comics, with the former debuting in John Broome and Gil Kane's \"Showcase #22\" in 1959 and the latter debuting in Dennis O'Neil and Neal Adams' \"Green Lantern #87\" in 1971. \"Lanterns\" sees these spacefaring lawmen pulled down to Earth, introducing them to James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU in a Nebraska-set mystery with intergalactic ramifications.\n\nPierre has occupied this kind of world before, with one of his earliest roles being the lesser-known Kryptonian Dev-Em on Syfy's \"Krypton.\" But while a couple of actors have taken on the role of Hal Jordan before Chandler, \"Lanterns\" marks the first appearance of John Stewart in live action. He is already slated to reprise the role in \"Man of Tomorrow,\" Gunn's follow-up to last summer's \"Superman\" (which debuted Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, another Green Lantern who will appear in \"Lanterns\").\n\nIt's a part that has already earned Pierre rave reviews -- and a responsibility he takes incredibly seriously.\n\n\"I just want to say an enormous thank you to all of those who have been pouring love on me and sharing their joy of me being part of this journey. And I've been reciprocating that, you know? I'm so grateful to be collaborating with all of these wonderful individuals,\" Pierre told TheWrap on the \"Lanterns\" premiere red carpet. \"Everybody is not only exceptionally talented, but they are beautiful human beings with clean hearts, and that is exactly what you dream of every time you collaborate and you embark on a journey for any project.\"\n\nOne of those collaborators is Chris Mundy, who created \"Lanterns\" alongside Damon Lindelof and Tom King. According to Mundy, Pierre was turning heads as John Stewart before he even fully got the part.\n\n\"Around the time of 'Rebel Ridge,' I still remember Damon and I met him on the Warner Bros. lot, and we were walking from there, just the three of us walking back to our writers office, and there's tour busses going around Warner Bros. all the time. All these heads just kept turning, and I'm like, 'They've either seen 'Rebel Ridge,' which is possible, or Aaron is just one of those people that you just look at.' Both things are probably true at the same time with that,\" Mundy told TheWrap. \"Even in stillness, because that character, there's the marine quality of John, but then there's also the artist side of him. It's different kinds of stillness, and even with that, you're just drawn to him immediately.\"\n\nChandler, meanwhile, is just as strong a fit for his character -- a swaggering, bravado-filled charmer calling himself \"fearless\" to hide a deeper pain underneath.\n\n\"Kyle just embodies everything we were talking about,\" Mundy said. \"This likable swagger, and even when he's being kind of a jerk, there's something about it that you can't help being drawn to -- and he knows it.\"\n\nDon't be afraid\n\n\"Lanterns\" opens with a scene of a young John Stewart, decades away from seeing a Green Lantern ring up close, watching Hal Jordan reveal his identity to the world on \"60 Minutes.\" When Hal is asked how one becomes a Green Lantern, he says that the audition process is a test with one question: \"Are you afraid?\"\n\n\"Every kid's worst fear: losing a parent. Once that happens, there is nothing to fear anymore,\" he continues, referencing Geoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver's seminal Hal Jordan text, \"Green Lantern: Rebirth.\"\n\nBut Chandler and Pierre don't view their characters so didactically. Both actors know that the true ability of a Green Lantern is not being fearless, but being able to overcome great fear.\n\n\"He's a purely human character. He's been given this, he's been gifted -- not gifted, chosen -- to take this incredible tool and overcome those fears and yet still get the job done,\" Chandler said.\n\n\"I'm into stoicism. I enjoy Ryan Holiday's books. One I'm reading at the moment is 'The Obstacle Is the Way,' and I think something that is really interesting that I read that relates to stoicism is, 'For someone to be in the freezing cold and just say, 'I'm not cold,' is less impressive than someone saying, 'I'm freezing, but I'm sitting in it regardless,''\" Pierre added. \"I think that's what we're speaking about here, you know? Feeling it, but overcoming it and besting it -- mastering it.\"\n\n\"I was just kidding. My character's fearless,\" Chandler chimed in, getting a big laugh from his co-star. \"That's why I was chosen. He wasn't chosen.\"\n\n\"I'm not sure you've watched the series,\" Pierre retorted. \"You'll have to watch it again.\"\n\nThis exchange exemplifies the Hal/John dynamic seen throughout \"Lanterns\": the hotshot vs. the soldier, the past vs. the future, the quarterback with everything to lose vs. the backup with everything to prove. With only one Green Lantern ring to go around, it's an adversarial dynamic, one reflective of the earliest days of Hal Jordan and John Stewart on the page. When asked if they were anything like this in real life, Chandler and Pierre answered in unison.\n\n\"I can't get out of here soon enough, brother, speaking quite honestly,\" Pierre said.\n\n\"I can't stand him,\" Chandler agreed. \"We really despise each other.\"\n\nAs Chandler maintained his expression, Pierre broke from the bit, speaking about their relationship with a big smile. The \"Lanterns\" lead said he and Chandler would bicker in much the same way on set, going \"on and on and on\" over the six-month shoot. When he would ask crew members if they were \"sick of Kyle and I,\" he would always get one response: \"Absolutely not.\"\n\nAnd fans of \"Lanterns\" won't be either.\n\n\"It's not a given, nor is it mandatory to develop a friendship with a colleague, a collaborator, no matter how long or extensive the job is. It's a gift when you experience it. Kyle and I had never met each other before our first meeting, and neither of us knew what we were walking into,\" Pierre said. \"When we met for the first time, it was I think a relief for both of us, and a feeling of being energized and excited about developing this friendship that we now have.\"\n\n\"Lanterns\" airs Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.\n\nThe post 'Lanterns' Stars Kyle Chandler and Aaron Pierre Break Down HBO Drama's Grounded Approach appeared first on TheWrap.",

"title": "Did 'Lanterns' Really Kill That Character?",
"body": "Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google.\n\nWarning: This article contains spoilers for \"Lanterns\" Episode 1.\n\nLet's get the big spoiler out of the way.\n\nHal Jordan is dead. At least, he seems to be.\n\nThe first episode of \"Lanterns\" ends with John Stewart (Aaron Pierre) called back to Rushville, Nebraska, by Sheriff Kerry (Kelly Macdonald) a decade after he first visited the town as Hal's trainee. There, Kerry shows John that Hal (Kyle Chandler) is sitting, dead and ringless, on the bleachers of the football stadium where the trio encountered an intergalactic presence 10 years earlier.\n\nThe death of Hal Jordan, right as he was introduced to the DCU, is no doubt going to be a major talking point that looms over the rest of this season. Whether Hal stays dead is anyone's guess.\n\nBut comic book fans will know that Hal Jordan has died before. He also turned evil, destroyed the Green Lantern Corps, saved the world and became a vengeful ghost in an epic decade-spanning DC Comics saga.\n\nHere's everything you need to know about the death of Hal Jordan in DC Comics.\n\nWhat happened to Hal Jordan?\n\nIt started with the death of Superman.\n\nAfter Superman was killed at the hands of Doomsday in the iconic early-'90s storyline, the evil Cyborg Superman emerges and teams up with the villainous Mongul. Together they destroy Coast City -- the home of Green Lantern Hal Jordan.\n\nA few months later, writer Ron Marz kicked off his epic Green Lantern story with \"Emerald Twilight,\" a three-issue story that sees Hal attempt to recreate Coast City and everyone in it (including his father, who died when he was a child) with his ring. The Guardians of the Universe forbid him from doing so, causing Hal to head to Oa.\n\nOn the way, Hal fights a number of Green Lanterns, stealing their rings (and leading to the iconic cover of \"Green Lantern #49\" by Darryl Banks, Romeo Tanghal and Anthony Tollin). He then arrives to the Lanterns homeworld, where the Guardians have unleashed the villainous Sinestro. Hal kills both Sinestro and his friend/fellow Lantern Kilowog before taking all of the energy from the Central Power Battery on Oa.\n\nAll of the Guardians die except for Ganthet, who goes to Earth and chooses directionless artist Kyle Rayner to be the last remaining Green Lantern -- the Torchbearer who wields the final Lantern power ring. Hal, meanwhile, takes on the name Parallax and cements himself as a villain.\n\nWhat else did Parallax do?\n\nKyle had a couple of encounters with Parallax in his early days as a Green Lantern. During one confrontation, Hal returns to Earth to take his ring back from Kyle, causing a fight between Parallax and the Justice League. In the end, a depowered Kyle attempts to fight Parallax in a last stand, despite knowing he will easily die. Hal is impressed by this and leaves Kyle with the ring.\n\nLater, Parallax becomes the main villain of the event \"Zero Hour: Crisis in Time!\" by Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway, a book that helped work out some of the kinks in the post-\"Crisis on Infinite Earths\" continuity changes in the DC universe. In \"Zero Hour,\" Parallax attempts to turn back the clock and restart the universe so he can undo the destruction of Coast City and the Green Lantern Corps. Parallax is eventually shot in the heart by Hal's best friend, Green Arrow, though he survives.\n\nHow did Hal die?\n\nHal/Parallax eventually died during Karl Kesel and Stuart Immonen's 1996 event series \"The Final Night.\" There, a weapon known as a Sun-Eater extinguishes the solar system's sun, giving Earth's heroes only five days to figure out how to turn it back on before losing the planet. In the end, Parallax offers to give up his life to destroy the Sun-Eater and reignite the sun, saving the world and partially redeeming himself. Hal Jordan is given a proper memorial, with many of Earth's heroes showing up to remember his life.\n\nIn Geoff Johns and Matthew Dow Smith's 1999 event \"Day of Judgment,\" Hal is becomes the new host for the Spectre, a Spirit of Vengeance (or, as Hal puts it, a \"Spirit of Redemption\") delivering God's judgment and divine wrath. This role previously belonged to Jim Corrigan, and Hal would fill it for several years.\n\nHow did Hal come back?\n\nGeoff Johns and Ethan Van Sciver's \"Green Lantern: Rebirth\" opens with one of the most memorable images in Green Lantern comics: Two bystanders approach a crashed spaceship, and a bloody, wounded Kyle Rayner stumbles out, urging them, \"Don't be afraid.\" It is later revealed that Kyle and Ganthet have retrieved the body of Hal Jordan (still dressed as Parallax) and brought it to Earth. Other Lanterns, like John Stewart and Guy Gardner, meanwhile, start going haywire and attacking Earth's heroes.\n\nKyle later reveals to Green Arrow that he \"found something on the edge of the universe\" and learned that Parallax isn't just a name that Hal took on. Parallax is actually a living entity made of pure fear, capable of destroying whole civilizations by turning them insane. The Guardians kept Parallax a secret and hid it in the Central Power Battery on Oa, where it remained dormant for a lengthy time.\n\nBut after the destruction of Coast City, Parallax used its prison to infect Hal through his ring, preying on his fear and negative emotions. In a series of retcons, this explains why Hal turned evil, why Green Lantern rings were ineffective against the color yellow (something that's no longer true once Parallax escaped) and even why Hal Jordan developed white streaks in his hair (not unlike Kyle Chandler's salt and pepper look in \"Lanterns\").\n\nSinestro returns from the dead, revealing it was he who awakened Parallax while he was also stored in the Central Power Battery. Apparently, the version of Sinestro Hal \"killed\" was just a construct of Parallax's. This paves the way for Sinestro to use the yellow power of fear, and for the whole emotional spectrum of Lanterns, that Johns later introduced to the Green Lantern mythos.\n\nThe Spectre and Parallax begin fighting for control over Hal, and the Spectre eventually frees his soul, allowing it to return to the body that Kyle and Ganthet recovered -- and thus reviving Hal Jordan the hero for good. Parallax temporarily stores itself in Ganthet, but Hal and his fellow Lanterns eventually free the Guardian, imprison Parallax once again and banish Sinestro to the anti-matter dimension. From there, Hal became the main character of Johns' lengthy run on \"Green Lantern,\" essentially resetting his status to the pre-\"Emerald Twilight\" continuity.\n\nYou can read the first issue of \"Green Lantern: Rebirth\" for free now on DC Universe Infinite.\n\nHow does this relate to \"Lanterns\"?\n\nA lot about Hal Jordan's death on \"Lanterns\" remains unclear -- like whether or not he's actually dead at all.\n\nIt seems unlikely that a show as grounded as this will be taking on this epic saga -- one involving spirits of vengeance and extinguished suns -- any time soon. It's also unclear how long Chandler is committed to playing the character as, unlike Aaron Pierre (who is already confirmed to appear in \"Man of Tomorrow\" as John Stewart), no future appearances of Hal Jordan are currently lined up. Comic book fans know that death can be a very temporary thing, and the show already establishes that Chandler can play a younger Hal Jordan well in the first episode.\n\nChandler himself wouldn't talk much about Hal's apparent demise at the end of Episode 1. He did, however, say that he was \"full-on\" after reading the show's first script.\n\n\"I knew also that it was going to be a non-linear story and they were going to be able to shift and move it around, and I just liked it even more. It was one more dynamic to the whole thing that was going to be exciting. What I didn't know -- that was the most exciting part of it,\" Chandler told TheWrap. \"All I needed to know was what I read, the people in it, their talent level and their respectability in the business, what my manger and agent told me, and my desire to want to go out and have some fun and take a shot at a superhero. But I could tell also by reading it that this was a different project. It was a different type of superhero story, and I think people are going to dig that a lot.\"\n\n\"Lanterns\" airs Sundays on HBO and HBO Max.\n\nThe post Did 'Lanterns' Really Kill That Character? appeared first on TheWrap.",

"body": "BOGOTA, Colombia -- Colombia's President Abelardo de la Espriella has asked his ally US President Donald Trump to suspend tariffs to help the South American nation recover from a powerful earthquake that killed at least 289 people.\n\nDe la Espriella took office earlier this month just days before the 7.4 magnitude quake struck.\n\nHe was backed by Trump in Colombia's closely contested presidential election, which was decided in a runoff on June 21, and has sought to emphasise his connections with the US leader.\n\nOn Saturday (Aug 15) night, de la Espriella wrote on X that he spoke with Trump and thanked him for aid sent by the US in response to the earthquake.\n\nHe added that he \"asked him to consider the temporary suspension of the high tariffs that affect Colombian products, in order to provide relief to our businesspeople, who are facing very difficult times due to the effects of the earthquake\".\n\nThere has been no immediate response from the Trump administration to de la Espriella's request.\n\nThe US has offered a total of US$26.5 million (S$33.9 million) in earthquake aid, including food, shelters and health supplies, according to the US State Department.\n\nThe earthquake that struck Monday morning devastated parts of western Colombia, hitting cities including Pereira, Cali and Quibdo.\n\nCities along the country's Pacific coast were hit particularly hard. The president declared the quake a natural disaster.\n\nThe government has said that 143 people are missing, while other civilian-run databases put the number in the thousands.\n\nThe natural disaster, whose epicentre was in one of the poorest regions of the country, Choco, has so far left 3,937 people injured, according to the government.\n\nIn addition, it destroyed 14,705 homes and damaged another 81,536.\n\nIn Cali, Colombia's third biggest city, workers searched for the more than 70 people reported missing in that city.\n\nHope remained alive even after the key 48 to 72 hour window to find survivors beneath the rubble has long passed.\n\n\"Miracles do happen\" even though more than 120 hours have passed since the earthquake struck, said Cali Mayor Alejandro Eder from the unified command post.\n\n\"We are working where we know there are still victims; we are working in the hope of rescuing people alive.\"",

"title": "Thai baht rally may fade on dovish central bank, analysts say",
"body": "[SINGAPORE] A nascent rally in the Thai baht may be short-lived as the central bank is likely to maintain a dovish policy stance to support an economy hit by elevated oil prices, according to analysts.\n\nThe baht has strengthened 0.9 per cent so far in August, ranking as the second-best performer among South-east Asian peers.\n\nFrom here, it may dip to 33.50 per US dollar through the end of 2026, according to BNP Paribas.\n\nMUFG Bank expects the currency to weaken about 4 per cent to 34.4 in the fourth quarter as higher oil prices weigh on Thailand's trade balance.\n\nThe nation's current account swung to a US$17.7 billion deficit last quarter, from a US$1.4 billion surplus in the prior period due to higher energy imports.\n\nPolicymakers have signalled a willingness to look through near-term price pressures brought on by higher crude prices to support growth, with the central bank expected to keep borrowing costs steady at 1 per cent at its Aug 26 meeting.\n\n\"The Bank of Thailand is likely to keep policy rate at 1 per cent to support growth, putting pressure on the baht as US yields stay elevated,\" said Lloyd Chan, a foreign exchange strategist at MUFG in Singapore.\n\nThailand's trade balance may remain in deficit in the coming months following a rebound in oil, removing a pillar of support for the currency, he added.\n\nHigher energy costs are adding to broader strains on the economy, with elevated jet fuel prices and instability from the ongoing Middle East conflict weighing on tourism, a key contributor to growth.\n\nFiscal concerns are also mounting as plans to raise US$12 billion in new borrowings to fund economic stimulus and energy transition programs raise concerns over whether Thailand can keep public debt within the ceiling of 70 per cent of gross domestic product.\n\n\"The baht is showing greater signs of a twin deficit problem, especially the budget deficit,\" said Kobsidthi Silpachai, head of capital market research at Kasikornbank.\n\nA potential deterioration in fiscal sustainability may \"prompt investors to increase the risk premium, translating to higher bond yields and a weaker baht\", he said.\n\nThailand's benchmark interest rate remains the lowest in emerging Asia, even as peers including Indonesia and the Philippines have tightened to curb inflation and support their currencies.\n\n\"The baht has more room to depreciate against the US dollar in the second half of 2026\" on potentially widening interest rate differentials with the US, said Chandresh Jain, Asia emerging markets rates and FX strategist at BNP Paribas, who expects the US Federal Reserve to implement three consecutive rate hikes from December.\n\nThat would temper the seasonal boost to the baht from year-end tourism, he said.
