Steve Inskeep和A. Martinez：报道了美国对华贸易战导致的经济困境，以及全球经济放缓的预测。 Scott Horsley：分析了特朗普政府的贸易战对美国和全球经济的负面影响，包括GDP增长下降、通货膨胀和贸易增长放缓。他还采访了受贸易战影响的企业家Jonathan Silva，后者描述了其公司面临的生存危机。 Willem Marks：报道了在伦敦举行的关于俄乌冲突和平谈判的会议，重点关注了美国、欧洲和乌克兰之间的不同立场，以及和平前景的不确定性。 Ruth Sherlock：报道了教宗方济各的遗体安放在圣彼得大教堂供人瞻仰的情况，以及即将举行的葬礼。她还采访了在现场等候瞻仰教宗遗体的民众，以及一位神父，他们表达了对教宗的敬意和对未来的希望。 Jonathan Silva: 我经营一家生产高端棋盘游戏的公司，主要在中国生产。由于美国对中国商品征收的高额关税，我们的订单被取消，货物被滞留，公司面临严重的生存危机。我们正在努力应对这一困境，希望关税问题能够尽快得到解决，让我们能够继续经营下去，为家庭带来快乐。 Scott Horsley: 国际货币基金组织预测，由于贸易战，美国GDP增长将下降近一个百分点，这将导致通货膨胀和经济增长放缓。其他国家也受到了关税的影响，全球贸易增长将大幅减缓。 Willem Marks: 欧洲坚持继续支持乌克兰，而美国则提出了其他和平方案，但这些方案尚未正式与乌克兰分享。乌克兰拒绝放弃克里米亚半岛或乌克兰东部部分地区。俄罗斯总统普京表示愿意重新与乌克兰进行直接对话，至少结束对平民目标的袭击。和平的可能性目前不明朗，俄罗斯的停火声明被乌克兰认为是宣传策略。 Ruth Sherlock: 教宗方济各的葬礼将是重要的政治时刻，一些领导人可能会在葬礼期间举行会晤。教宗方济各选择在罗马的圣母大殿下葬，而不是梵蒂冈。
