Wolf argues that it\u2019s not trade and FX policies the world should be worried about, it\u2019s instability in its financial system (and in particular its ballooning debt) that should be of concern.<\/p><p>Oh, and speaking of the Financial Times: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/943e322a-178a-11e7-9c35-0dd2cb31823a\">Its Big Read this morning<\/a> is the type of interview with The Donald that only the FT could produce.

Apple would like you to know that they\u2019re building a very cool<\/strong><strong>new Mac Pro. <\/strong>Not a new MacBook Pro (we love the new 13 inch touchbar version, which has entirely supplanted our use of the tiny MacBook), but a replacement for the aging, three-year-old <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/mac-pro\/\">desktop cylinder<\/a> that looks like the love child of R2D2 and Darth Vader. Admitting they were responding to pro users and fanboys outraged that the most powerful Mac is being outclassed by other PCs, three senior Apple execs called together a handful of tech journalists for a talk in the middle of a machine shop to talk in broad terms about a machine that won\u2019t be out until next year. John Gruber (<a href=\"http:\/\/daringfireball.net\/2017\/04\/the_mac_pro_lives\">Daring Fireball<\/a>) and Matthew Panzarino (<a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2017\/04\/04\/apple-pushes-the-reset-button-on-the-mac-pro\/\">TechCrunch<\/a>) have the best coverage.<\/p><p><strong>The Middle East Now festival kicks off today in Florence, Italy<\/strong> with 45 films on its program, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ansamed.info\/ansamed\/en\/news\/sections\/culture\/2017\/04\/04\/middle-east-now-film-festival-begins-in-florence_a7f1c910-eeed-4473-ac83-2e05162cfc39.html\">ANSAmed<\/a> reports. The festival runs until Sunday and will show Egyptian films including: \"In the Last Days of the City\" by Tamer El Said, \"Withered Green\" by Mohammed Hammad, \u201dWhose Country?\" by Mohamed Siam,
