  • the Cuban government is finally allowing general consumers to buy various electronics, including DVD players and computers, for the first time. Only companies and foreigners were previously able to buy computers, while the looming threat of terrible Hollywood movies had forced Cuban authorities to seize DVD players at the airport. The change is due to "the improved availability of electricity," and Cubans can look forward to also picking up microwaves, 24-inch televisions, and rice cookers to plug into the new juice. Of course, it's not all flip flops and high-fives: air conditioners will not be available until next year, and the deadly menace known as the toaster will be restricted until 2010.

The U.N. housing agency UN-Habitat, which is hosting a major meeting this week in the Kenyan capital, says the number of slum dwellers in the world could triple to 3 billion by 2050 if left unchecked.

    "Much of the e-waste is the product of China's domestic electronics boom, with over 7 million tonnes created in 2012. But shipments from the US, Australia and Europe regularly circumvent an import ban instituted in 2000."

  • But signs of a broader recovery are harder to spot in sectors such as automotive, where carmakers are cutting back output in the face of dismal sales figures, the latest of which this week saw the market contract by about a quarter during February compared with the year before. Such reductions are, in turn, having a knock-on effect in sectors including steel, with large producers such as Tata Steel and Steel Authority of India, the nation’s two largest by sales, unveiling unexpectedly disappointing results during the past quarter. Tuesday’s data also showed further declines for companies in the country’s battered extractive industries, where recent production bans in big mining states have forced operations at companies such as the iron ore arm of London-listed Vedanta Resources to all but stop completely, pending legal reviews.
