AI Summary:
Trump's U-turn on Iran is pulling the country from the brink of further death and destruction. That political liability has become more palpable domestically over the past few days. Trump’s threat that carried the inherent suggestion that he would target even cultural or religious sites and kill innocent people at random came as a shock to the American public. Oren Cass: “We should not launch strikes intended to devastate the lives of millions of people and take our nation to total war without indisputable justification” The pope issued a strong rebuke of Trump, calling the threat to destroy Iran’s civilization “truly unacceptable” The White House portrayed Trump’s 11th hour move as a breakthrough to come to a final peace agreement with Iran. Iran is still a threat to its neighbors, says Ian Lesser. To date, 13 American service members have been killed, thousands in Iran. The Iranian campaign has left America’s stockpiles of weapons depleted. The war costs the United States hundreds of millions of dollars a day so far. About one tenth of that is the price of military equipment destroyed in the fighting. Oil prices have fallen well below the critical $100 mark, paving the way for a potential easing of politically sensitive gasoline prices. Equity markets advanced firmly, beginning in Asia and Europe before extending gains to Wall Street.

Original Title: How estrogen levels in the brain influence vulnerability to stress-related memory problems. The findings help explain why traumatic events such as natural disasters, mass violence, and assaults can cause long-term memory problems, and why women are roughly twice as likely as men to develop PTSD.

Original Title: Scientists found that toddlers express more happiness when sharing treats with someone else than when receiving treats themselves.

As Canada lowers its tariffs and imports more electric vehicles from China, an upcoming report from New York-based labour rights researchers is making new allegations of forced labour practices at the world's bestselling EV manufacturer, BYD.

China Labor Watch (CLW) received a complaint last fall from one of the thousands of migrant workers brought to Hungary from China to help build BYD's first European plant in the city of Szeged — a $6-billion investment intended to supply the European market with around 300,000 vehicles per year.

The non-profit organization launched an investigation and provided CBC News with an advance copy of its findings, set for publication later this month.

"It's important that consumers know what's really behind some of these electric vehicles, and the labour conditions that are behind the production of these cars," said project officer Elaine Lu.

"Chinese workers who are being brought in to work on these sites are being employed in quite horrible conditions."

...

The report describes potential violations of Hungarian labour and migration laws, including:

• Seven-day workweeks with no days off to rest, with workers telling CLW they were instructed to lie to inspectors about their working hours if asked.
• Shifts of up to 12 or 14 hours, with only a short meal break and no paid overtime.
• Delayed wage payments of up to three months, with final payments withheld until workers returned to China.
• Steep recruitment fees used as a form of debt bondage, with low-income workers saying they were forced to stay despite poor conditions because they can't afford to default on their contract.
• Workers entering on business visas instead of authorized work permits, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and unable to access services like health care for workplace injuries.
