Warren Buffett gives $2.9 billion to charity, again www.cnn.com

Warren Buffett continues to make good on his promise to give most of his enormous wealth to charity.
The billionaire investor gave away $2.9 billion worth of stock in his holding company Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA), according to an official filing Thursday. He's now made a huge donation 11 years in a row.
This year, Buffett is giving 19.6 million Class B shares to five charities. The bulk of the money, $2.2 billion, will go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Four other charities with links to the Buffett family will share the rest: Buffett's education-focused charity, which is named after his late wife Susan; the Nebraska-based Sherwood Foundation, chaired by their daughter; the Howard G. Buffett Foundation chaired by his son; and the NoVo Foundation, headed by Buffett's youngest son Peter.

Buffett has been giving away his wealth for over a decade now. He gave the five foundations $2.8 billion worth of shares in 2015, following a gift of a similar size the year before that.
In 2010, Buffett launched the Giving Pledge with Bill and Melinda Gates. The effort encourages billionaires to commit to giving away most of their money during their lifetimes or in their wills.
The pledge isn't a legally binding contract, but more of a moral commitment. So far, 154 individuals and couples have joined the pledge.

Mongolia's new government seeks stronger relations with China www.xinhuanet.com

ULAN BATOR, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Mongolia's new government has a strong will to strengthen cooperation with China and will work to create a sound environment for Chinese investors, the nation's newly-elected parliament speaker said Thursday.

Miyegombo Enkhbold, chairman of the State Great Hural, said in a meeting with visiting Chinese Premier Li Keqiang that the new government will maintain a stable China policy and enhance practical cooperation with China with the aim of further cementing the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.

The State Great Hural will attach great importance to and help implement the important consensus and results achieved during Li's visit to his country, Enkhbold said.

He said Li's visit will greatly boost bilateral friendly cooperation, adding that Mongolia will make more efforts to provide a sound legal environment for the Chinese businessmen investing in the country.

Congratulating Enkhbold for his election, Li said China highly values its relations with Mongolia and is ready to consolidate the traditional friendship and deepen the two nations' partnership in agriculture, husbandry, infrastructure and finance, so as to promote economic growth and improve people's livelihood on both sides.

Li said he looks forward to more exchanges between Mongolia's State Great Hural and China's National People's Congress, and between ruling parties of the two nations.

During his meeting with Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, Li said "China is satisfied with the sound momentum of our comprehensive strategic partnership," adding that he hopes to advance bilateral cooperation to a higher level with the Mongolian side.

China is willing to work with all the parties of the upcoming Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) summit to underscore peace, friendship and cooperation, help address the common challenges and promote stability and common development, Li said.

He added that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the ASEM, whose member countries in Asia and Europe are confronted with refugee crises and the threat of terrorism.

For his part, Elbegdorj said developing Mongolia-China relations is a top priority for his country, adding Mongolia's policy to foster friendly cooperation with China will not change.

The two sides agreed to push for more progress in promoting Asia-Europe dialogue and cooperation in the upcoming ASEM summit.

Earlier on Thursday, Li held talks with Mongolian Prime Minister Jargaltulga Erdenebat, and witnessed the signing of a number of cooperation agreements ranging from trade, technology and infrastructure to radio and TV broadcasting.

Li is paying an official visit to the landlocked country, and is due to attend the 11th ASEM summit on Friday and Saturday

BP says total Gulf spill bill $61.6bn www.bbc.com

BP said the final bill for the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill will be $61.6bn (£46.2bn).
The company believes that any further claims related to the spill will "not have a material impact".
On 20 April 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing 11 workers and causing an oil spill that soon became the worst environmental disaster in US history.
Since then BP has been paying hefty fines, compensation and legal bills.
Last year, chief executive Bob Dudley described the fire on the Deepwater Horizon and its aftermath as "a near death experience" for the firm.
He said it had shaken the company "to its core" and led to a complete change in its organisational structure.
"Sometimes it takes a near death experience to radically change a company. It was a forced focussing down of what we do, it was: 'This is what we need to do to survive'," Mr Dudley said on the BBC's Today Programme.
Greater certainty
The company sold off more than £30bn ($45bn) in assets to help cover the costs of the spill.
"Over the past few months we've made significant progress resolving outstanding Deepwater Horizon claims and today we can estimate all the material liabilities remaining from the incident," Brian Gilvary, BP chief financial officer said in a statement.
"Importantly, we have a clear plan for managing these costs and it provides our investors with certainty going forward."
In October of last year, BP agreed to pay $20bn (£13.2bn) to settle claims with the US government stemming from the spill.
That settlement was the largest the US government had ever reached with a single company.

China Q2 growth flat www3.nhk.or.jp

China's gross domestic product rose 6.7 percent in the April to June quarter from a year earlier. Growth from the previous quarter was flat.
 
The National Bureau of Statistics on Friday released key economic figures for the second quarter.
 
Analysts say private-sector industries, such as steel, are making less money, and that they have slowed investment as they try to trim excess capacity.
 
But the government boosted demand by spending more on infrastructure in an effort to support the economy.
 
Last year, Chinese officials looked for GDP growth of around 7 percent. This year, they are targeting 6.5 to 7.

ASEM summit opens with tribute to Nice victims www.nhk.or.jp

Leaders from Asia and Europe have begun a 2-day summit in Mongolia with silent prayers for the victims of the terrorist attack in the French city of Nice.

Anti-terrorism measures and the global economy are expected to be high on the agenda at the Asia-Europe Meeting, or ASEM, which opened in Ulan Bator on Friday.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is among the leaders taking part from 53 member nations and organizations.

European Council President Donald Tusk called on the participants to unite in the fight against violence and hatred. Other leaders joined him in denouncing terrorism.

Two weeks before the attack in Nice, an armed group killed more than 20 people, including 7 Japanese, in Bangladesh.

Another focus is how the participants will deal with China's disputes with several parties in the South China Sea.

An international tribunal in The Hague ruled this week that China's claims to the waters have no legal basis.

China has refused to accept the decision, calling it unjust.

Premier Li Keqiang and Foreign Minister Wang Yi are meeting other leaders on the sidelines of the summit to lobby for Beijing's position.

China is also insisting that the summit should not discuss the South China Sea issue.

China economy grows more than expected in second quarter www.bbc.com

China's economy grew by slightly more than expected in the second quarter of the year as the government increased infrastructure spending.
Gross domestic product expanded by 6.7% in the three months to June compared to a year earlier, China's statistics bureau said.
The rate was steady from the previous quarter and above expectations of 6.6%.
Analysts said the data showed the world's second-biggest economy was likely stabilising.
Today's figures indicate China's economy is being kept stable through policy support, Daniel Martin from Capital Economics said.
"While China is almost certainly expanding at a slower rate than its GDP data suggest, rapid state sector investment does appear to have kept growth broadly stable last quarter."
"Growth is more likely to pick up over coming months than slow further, but a lasting turnaround is not on the cards."
Other monthly data released today including industrial output and retail sales also beat forecasts.
Industrial output grew by 6.2% compared to forecasts for 5.9% amid concerns about overcapacity. Retail sales rose by 10.6% beating forecasts for 10% growth.
However fixed asset investment missed expectations, growing by 9.0% from January to June compared to the same period a year earlier. Economist estimates was for growth of 9.4%.
