Macy's cuts annual profit view as weak demand overshadows holiday sales
The department store chain had last month delayed its quarterly results after it found a single employee made wrong entries to hide about $151 million of delivery expenses between the fourth quarter of 2021 through third quarter of 2024. The company, whose shares have lost nearly 17% of their value this year, is looking to turn around under top boss Tony Spring by closing underperforming stores and relying on its luxury outlets Bloomingdale's and Bluemercury.

Organized crime gangs expanded into a third of cities in Brazil’s Amazon, report finds
Criminal gangs are operating in over a third of municipalities in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest driving a boom in violence, according to a report published Wednesday by a prominent nonprofit organization. In 2024, gangs were present in 260 of 772 municipalities in the region, up from 178 last year, according to the Brazilian Forum on Public Safety.
