Last week, about 600 people were tested for the coronavirus in the city of Utsunomiya, north of Tokyo - the Japanese government's first stab at systematic random and targeted testing that it hopes will prevent a new wave of infections. Some 300 people walking in the city and another 300 at local schools were given saliva-based PCR or polymerase chain reaction tests. Compared to mass-testing drives in South Korea, China and other nations, it was a small effort but for Japan, the testing exercise - set to be replicated in many parts of the country - represents a significant step up.
Stocks on Wall Street ended Tuesday lower, a day after a blockbuster rally that saw the S&P 500 have its best day since June. The Dow dropped nearly 150 points while the S&P also fell.And the Nasdaq lost about 1.7% as Apple, Facebook, Tesla and other big technology names tumbled.The tech-heavy index's fall came as investors continue to rotate out of stocks that outperformed due to the coronavirus pandemic and into others viewed as likely to do well as the economy recovers, such energy and travel companiesNicholas Colas of DataTrek Research says - given history - the recent volatility in markets is par for the course."This one is playing very much true to form with past cycles, we tend to get initially a big surge off the bottom when we first see fiscal stimulus, we got all of that last year. It was a little bit heavily skewed towards technology because of the unique nature of what happened with the pandemic, but it is the kind of classic lift off the bottom that we always get. At this point in the cycle, call it six to 12 to 10, even a year on from the bottom, we do get these first rumblings of inflation that begin to lift interest rates and the market begins to go a little bit wobbly. The same exact thing happened virtually to the day during the 2010 recovery, after the '09 crisis.Stocks on the move included Target, which said it will invest $4 billion annually over the next several years as the big box retailer upgrades stores and strengthens its online business.

The administration is currently reviewing U.S.-North Korea policy.
Many of the six Dr. Seuss titles that are being discontinued landed on Amazon’s best-seller list on Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the company in charge of preserving the beloved children’s author’s legacy, on Tuesday announced that six Seuss books will be permanently discontinued due to material deemed racist or insensitive.

NewsNation relaunched on Monday, not that you would know that from these TV ratings. According to Nielsen, NewsNation’s first primetime back on the cable airwaves drew just 37,000 total viewers, on-average, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. In the key news demo, adults 25-54, the average across those three hours was only 8,000. It gets worse: Ashleigh Banfield’s new program settled for a mere 17,000 total viewers at 10 p.m., according to Nielsen. Just 5,000 viewers aged 25-54 tuned in to that hour. Also Read: Ashleigh Banfield Says NewsNation Show Will Offset Cable News 'Echo Chambers' (Exclusive) The NewsNation channel was previously known as WGN America, prior to the rebranding announced in January. WGNA was not always wall-to-wall news, airing just the two-hour primetime newscast under the “NewsNation” banner. (The primetime segment has since been renamed “NewsNation Prime.”) Upon the relaunch and the addition of Banfield’s show, the channel also added “NewsNation Early Edition,” hosted by Nichole Berlie at 6 p.m. ET, and “The Donlon Report,” hosted by Joe Donlon at 7 p.m. ET. In primetime, Monday’s NewsNation effort was down 18% in viewers vs. the same day last week, and -27% in the key demo. Banfield’s program dropped 38% overall and halved the 10 o’clock hour’s demo audience the previous Monday. Also Read: WGN America to Rebrand as NewsNation With 5 Hours of Daily News Programming Billed as a competitor to cable news leaders CNN and Fox News, NewsNation has distinguished itself as having only live national newscast in primetime, with the network pointing to other cable networks’ decision to air opinion shows in the evening. In an interview with TheWrap ahead of the launch, Banfield said her program and NewsNation as a whole has “the health of the viewer” in mind more than its competitors do. “Because everyone has retreated into echo chambers, they’ve left a void behind and that void happens to include tens of millions of Americans who are independent-minded and who are starving for an unbiased news product, so this is also a business decision. The business decision is to serve those people who would like to see journalism returned to the way it used to be,” she said, adding, “I believe the ratings will come because people are starving for this kind of product.” Read original story NewsNation Relaunch Gets Just 37,000 Primetime Viewers, Ashleigh Banfield Draws Only 17,000 At TheWrap
