The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Board issued a critical statement Sunday about the possible relocation out of the executive mansion’s briefing room, following statements from the Trump staff that indicated press placement was not guaranteed.

The statement came shortly after a report in Esquire magazine that the Trump administration could be looking to evict the press corps from its spot in the White House Briefing Room, where journalists assigned to cover the president have been for decades

The reports come after recent flare-ups of Mr. Trump’s own antagonistic relationship with the press

Mr Trump promised a quick trade deal between the US and the UK after he takes office in five days' time.

He also criticised Nato and German Chancellor Angela Merkel's immigration policies

"Countries want their own identity and the UK wanted its own identity, but I do think if they hadn't been forced to take in all of the refugees than you wouldn't have a Brexit."

Demand continues to outpace supply, and major retailers and users persist in their scramble for warehouse and distribution space nearer to customers

“I think 2017 is still going to see rising rents and supply-demand imbalance that will lead to shrinking vacancies, but the magnitude will get a bit smaller this year,” Egan said.

The world has seen a remarkable improvement in the quality of life in the last 200 years or so

In fact, thanks to the computing and Internet revolution, the UK’s economy expanded more than 8 times in this period to reach $1.0932 trillion.

This year’s report also includes a section highlighting the new Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, which updated the Toxic Substances Control Act

Trump’s policy style represents a sharp break from that of his predecessors. It is highly personalized and temperamental. It relies on threats and bullying. It is prone to boasting, exaggeration, and lies about actual successes.

It is ironic that the same people who extol Chinese gains from globalization are often alarmed that a US administration may copy the Chinese approach and explicitly endorse industrial policies.

. On the other hand, his policymaking-by-tweet suggests he doesn’t have much interest in building the institutionalized dialogue, with all the required safeguards, that sound industrial policy requires

We must replace our old linear industrial model with a new – and circular – industrial model.

Similarly, BioGen in Britain has a renew and restore strategy where it produces renewable energy (biogas) from food waste and in turn use the waste slurry as bio-fertilizer, which has been shown to produce higher crop yields compared with chemical fertilizers.

Similarly, the Dutch company aWEARness has created the first true “circular” clothing items. WearEver suits are made from 100per cent recyclable polyester, giving the total life of the suit between 40 and 50 years.

Industrial output in the eurozone's second largest economy rose 2.2% on the month in November, while economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast a 0.5% rise. Insee also revised the October figure to a 0.1% decline from a previous reading of -0.2%.

Coking and refining production surged 6.3% and transport materials output rose 3.4%, Insee said. Agricultural output rose 1.3%, after a 2% drop in October.

The eurozone's factories, mines and utilities stepped up production at a much more rapid pace than expected in November, the latest sign that the currency area's economic recovery strengthened as 2016 was drawing to a close.

The November pickup was led by France, where output jumped by 2.2% over the month. But there was also a 1.7% increase in Spain, and more modest rises in Italy and Germany.

The 160,000 increase in payrolls in April reported by the Labor Department on Friday followed the best two-year stretch for the job market since the tech-fueled boom of the late 1990s.

April’s slower but still steady pace of payroll growth could be a sign of things to come. With economists expecting the economy to grow at an annual rate of 1.5 to 2.5 percent for the balance of 2016, monthly job gains may fall from the 192,000 pace registered so far this year.

Diane Swonk, an independent economist in Chicago, pointed to the strong gain of 67,000 jobs in the business and professional services category as additional evidence that the broader slowdown in hiring last month was not an ominous sign of trouble ahead.

On Friday, the Commerce Department raised its estimate of the pace of growth in the first quarter of 2016 to 0.8 percent

For the second quarter, which covers April, May and June, most experts forecast that the pace will pick up to about 2.5 percent.

In 11 of the last 15 years, a listless January, February and March were followed by a snapback in economic expansion in the next quarter, a trend Ms. Swonk said could not be explained by “polar vortexes and other one-off factors.”

The American economy moved into a higher gear last quarter, expanding at an annual rate of 2.9 percent

For all the quarterly blips, the ups and downs on Wall Street and the back and forth between political parties, the American economy remains more or less on the same trajectory since the recovery began more than seven years ago: modest but consistent growth.

Many experts initially forecast another subdued performance in the third quarter, but estimates crept higher this week after a report on Wednesday showed better-than-expected exports and lower imports in September.
