Senate confirms Dr. Erica Schwartz as CDC director, bringing new leadership to troubled agency - Regional Media News
The Senate confirmed Dr. Erica Schwartz as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in a 51-44 vote, bringing new leadership to the troubled agency. Schwartz, who has medical and law degrees, is the 22nd leader of the CDC and the first confirmed director in nearly a year. The agency has been in turmoil since President Donald Trump took office last year, largely due to layoffs and resignations, and has lost 3,000-plus employees, more than one-quarter of its workforce. Schwartz's nomination was initially uncertain after a hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee chairman, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., and others questioned her willingness to stand up to Republican President Donald Donald Trump’s health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., if he ordered CDC to do something unsupported by science and good public health practice. The National Public Health Coalition urged Schwartz to prove her leadership would serve science and not politicians.

'Unrealistic' rules for AI data centres spark warning
Australian Prime Minister Chris Bowen has warned that he will convene with the nation's leaders later in August to discuss uniform standards for data centres, as Queensland and the Northern Territory are yet to agree on uniform standards. The move has been criticised by critics, including Queensland and Northern Territory, who believe it could lead to increased bills and reduced reliability. Bowen also revealed that data centres would have to underwrite new energy generation capacity through the renewable electricity guarantee of origin scheme to prove they were fully offsetting the power they used with renewable energy. Australia was already the top destination of data centre investment outside the US, but this could push it elsewhere due to lengthy approval times and slow upgrades to energy and water infrastructure.

China’s July exports growth likely cooled but still robust
China's July exports growth likely slowed but remained robust, according to a Reuters poll. This is due to global demand for AI-related goods and a rush of shipments ahead of expected higher U.S. tariffs. Exports are expected to have expanded 22.2% year-on-year in U.K. dollar value terms, slowing from the 27% surge the previous month. Imports are forecast to have risen 27.9%, softening from a 36% jump. The trade surplus is expected to come in at $107 billion in July, down from $125.62 billion the previous day. The Asian giant’s trade surplus, which topped $1 trillion last year, has triggered concerns among Western trading partners and heightened tensions over trade imbalances.

US Service Sector Remains Robust, but Hiring Weakness Persists
US service sector remains strong, consistent with 2.5% GDP growth, but there is a lack of appetite to hire workers. The headline index rose to 54.1 from 54.0, while business activity was strong, likely boosted by celebrations and events for the 250th anniversary of US independence and the FIFA World Cup. However, inflation pressures remain elevated, with prices paid up at 70.3, a touch above the 6M average of 69.0. The July employment indicator moved into expansion territory for the first time in three years with a print of 52.8. Initial jobless claims data remained low, suggesting businesses are reluctant to let staff go. However the NFIB small business hiring numbers have been weak in May and June, suggesting that only 10% of small businesses were looking to make a hire, a six-year low. For July, ING anticipates around 70,000 jobs being added, but a touch below the 80,000 consensus prediction.

Google has released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 2 for compatible Pixel smartphones and tablets. This is the second test build of the second quarterly Android 17 update, and Google has not yet provided a detailed list of changes. The update is already available to participants in the Android Beta Program who register a compatible device to receive the test build over the air. Since it is a test build, its functionality and stability may change before the final version is released. Other notable changes include automatic reconnection of Bluetooth devices after a connection is lost without displaying an additional notification, and incorrect display of window bounds in Accessibility NodeInfo.toString() which made debugging accessibility features more difficult.
