CNN  —  Paul Rusesabagina, who inspired the Hollywood film “Hotel Rwanda” and was freed from prison in Kigali last week, returned to the United States on Wednesday, arriving at the US Army’s Brooke Army Medical Center at Joint Base San Antonio, according to a State Department official. “The U.S. government is focused on ensuring that Mr. Rusesabagina and his family’s well-being are prioritized, and that all assistance available is offered in an appropriate and timely manner,” the official said. The official declined to provide additional details, citing “privacy reasons and out of respect to the family.” Carine Kanimba, Rusesabagina’s daughter, confirmed her father’s return in a post on Twitter. “PAUL RUSESABAGINA IS FREE,” she wrote, along with a smiling photo of her father. “Dad has just arrived in San Antonio, Texas.” “Thank you to EVERYONE who worked soooo hard to bring him home,” she continued. “Our Family is finally reunited…

CNN  —  Soccer’s world governing body FIFA has stripped Indonesia of its right to host the Under-20 Men’s World Cup later this year after an Indonesian official objected to the participation of Israel. “FIFA has decided, due to the current circumstances, to remove Indonesia as the host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2023,” FIFA said in a statement, without providing further clarification. “A new host will be announced as soon as possible, with the dates of the tournament currently remaining unchanged.” The statement said sanctions against the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) were also possible. A total of 24 teams were scheduled to play in the youth tournament across six Indonesian cities from May 20 to June 11. Israel have qualified for the first time. Arya Sinulingga, a member of the PSSI executive committee, told CNN on Thursday that FIFA’s decision stemmed from the refusal by one regional Indonesian…

CNN  —  Taiwan’s relationship with the United States has “never been closer,” its President Tsai Ing-wen said after arriving in New York City Wednesday, as Beijing warned her visit could lead to “serious confrontation” between China and the US. Taiwan faced “tremendous challenges,” Tsai said from the city, where she is making the first of two planned stopovers in the United States on either side of an official visit to Central America. “We know that we are stronger when we stand together in solidarity with fellow democracies. Taiwan cannot be isolated and we do not take friendship for granted,” Tsai said at a banquet with members of the Taiwanese-American community, according to footage from CNN’s Taiwan affiliate SET TV. Tsai’s visit comes at a time of heightened tensions between the US and China and has already sparked sharp condemnation from Beijing – which claims democratic Taiwan as its territory, despite…

Hong Kong CNN  —  China’s newly minted Premier Li Qiang painted a bullish picture of his country’s economic recovery at a key business forum this week, as Beijing seeks to win the hearts of global investors and economic leaders after emerging from its long pandemic isolation.“The dynamism and momentum of China’s economic growth is strong,” Li said Thursday in a keynote speech at the Boao Forum for Asia, a four-day gathering of international business leaders and politicians on the Chinese island of Hainan. The forum often promotes itself as “Asian Davos” and Li is tasked with reviving the world’s second largest economy at a time of sluggish growth. “The [economic] performance in March is even better than January and February’s,” Li said, adding that major indicators such as consumption and investment are improving. China, he said, will roll out new measures to boost domestic consumption and increase market access for…

Editor’s Note: Sign up for CNN’s Sleep, But Better newsletter series. Our seven-part guide has helpful hints to achieve better sleep. CNN  —  Obstructive sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder in which people stop breathing for 10 seconds or more at a time. Snoring can be a key sign of obstructive sleep apnea — but at some point in our lives, we all snore. A cold or allergy can block nasal passages, a few drinks too close to bed will automatically relax tongue, palate and throat muscles — and before we know it, we’re unconsciously forcing air past soft tissues, causing vibrations that escape as a snore. “Snoring can be normal and not something to worry about,” said sleep specialist Rebecca Robbins, an instructor in the division of sleep medicine for Harvard Medical School. “When it’s loud, raucous snoring, or it’s interrupted by pauses in breathing, that’s where we…

CNN  —  Just 150 years ago, cars were a distant concept. We’ve since traded in horse-drawn carriages for engine-powered automobiles, and the industry hasn’t slowed down – from airbags and Bluetooth to electric, driverless vehicles straight out of science-fiction movies. By 2050, the number of cars on the road is expected to total three billion. And with most of the world’s population expected to live in urban cities by then, there will be a growing demand for smart streets. Our roads will have to innovate, much like the cars themselves. As we look to the future, CNN explores four possible ways smart street technology will evolve. From voice assistants to social media algorithms, AI has become an integral part of our daily lives. And when it comes to cities, it is already playing a crucial role with real-time technology that can help inform new urban safety measures and efficiencies –…

CNN  —  Mexico will issue arrest warrants for those allegedly responsible for the deaths of 39 people in a fire at a migrant detention center, officials said. Authorities are investigating Monday’s blaze at the center in Ciudad Juarez as a homicide. A further 27 people were injured. The Mexican government has so far identified at least eight people who could be held responsible, Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez said Wednesday. Among them are two federal agents, one state migration agent and several members of a private security company. Sara Irene Herrerías Guerra, head of the Specialized Prosecutor for Human Rights of the Attorney General of Mexico, said none of the public employees or the private security officers made any attempt to open a locked door and allow the migrants to escape the burning facility. The fire started when a group of migrants gathered mattresses and set them ablaze, Herrerías said.…
