Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day.

On today's podcast:

(1) China has been slow-walking approval of Airbus SE plane deliveries to signal impatience with how long European regulators are taking to certify Chinese-made aircraft, according to people familiar with the matter.

(2) The UK and other western nations are running out of time to maintain their technological edge over China, the UK’s top cyber spy is set to warn Wednesday, urging businesses to work with intelligence officials in order to stay ahead.

(3) The US is touting progress toward a peace deal with Iran to end the nearly three-month war, even amid fresh hostilities and uncertainty over the vital Strait of Hormuz.

(4) Former BP Chairman Albert Manifold pushed back against what he described as a “false narrative” surrounding his surprise departure from the British supermajor.

 
(5) The breakneck surge in memory-chip stocks is intensifying, sending the market capitalizations of SK Hynix Inc. and Micron Technology Inc. above $1 trillion for the first time, as investors bet the AI boom will lead to a sustained revaluation of the industry.

(6) Former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair criticized the party he once led for “playing with fire” in its attempt to oust current premier Keir Starmer, while also slamming the government for lacking a clear agenda.

(7) Switzerland will vote on a plan to cap its population at 10 million people in June. It's being a called a "Sustainability Initiative" rather than an anti-immigration policy, after decades of surging population growth. But, the country's biggest companies are worried about where they'll get workers.
