It is a billion dollar industry driven by creativity and innovation with a global reach and a diverse market. The toy industry is forecast to reach $302 billion in sales by 2030 and that estimate is at the conservative end of the scale. But falling birth rates and some of the highest inflation rates we have seen in decades have created challenging conditions for manufacturers and retailers and signal more tough times to come. While the covid pandemic boosted sales of toys and games temporarily, big name companies reported sales have started to slip back once again. Let s look at some of those numbers. Local toy sales reached $108. 7 billion in 2023, a 2% drop compared to 2022 with toy companies calling it a normalisation process after that exceptional growth linked to the pandemic. But acr
On the app. So it was kind of a laundry list of issues. More broadly, mike, were you surprised that this happened in france? so, this is. . . One of the fascinating aspects of this case is, you know, it s a big deal in any sort of country at this point, i believe, to really take under arrest the ceo of a major tech company, especially one used by almost a billion people, that telegram is. I think the distinction that s important here is that the arrest was made not under eu sort of broader laws, but specifically under french sort ofjurisdiction. And i also think that other tech ceos are looking at that and what that means for travel across different countries, not. . . I think durov is a different case because of how uncooperative he has been with different countries over the years but it s something to look at. Related to that, my bbc news colleague joe tidy has been reporting in the last few hours that telegram refuses to join international programmes aimed at detecting and removin
Today and onehalf twist. Where does the former president released dan on abortion what he said, and what voters could make of it. Keeping them honest. Also tonight that vulgar post he spread online about sex acts. Kamala harris and hillary clinton, because running mate was asked about it and how he tried to explain it is causing fresh up. Later. All we re learning about the tragic killing of a star hockey player and his brother by a suspected drunk driver that very night for their sister s wedding good evening. Jim sciutto here sitting in for anderson, the former president will be speaking tonight at the moms for liberty convention here in washington that is the rightwing group which got its start pushing to restrict sex education topics in schools and banning books on gender and sexuality from school libraries. We begin though, keeping them honest with the not the former president has just tied himself into over abortion for the first time either, and potentially not without electoral
Special edition of hannity. I m jason chaffetz in for sean. Kamala s disastrous interview on cnn. First we take you live to the annual gathering of moms for liberty where former president trump is speaking. Let s listen in for a moment. [ applause ] of heard you talk about your mom in interviews before. She was obviously a very strong woman. Was she hard on you with school? tell us about your mom a little bit. No. She was great. I had a great mother, great father. Very different people. My mother came from scotland and she came over to this country. Are there people from scotland? you know, actually, that s hidden.

Jesse: welcome to a special edition of jesse watters primetime. I m pete heckseth in for jesse on friday night. Well, the grades are in and kamala harris last night flunked her exam. Did you see her on television last night? [ crowd boos ] this is going to be the president of our country? i don t think so. And it s the first interview she s done in like nobody s ever seen anything like about and if you re too weak to do a oneonone werp interview with a person that was so soft you know, i know dana.

Just like joe with the debate, the country watched the kamala harris bubble pop in real time last night. As trump mentioned it wasn t because cnn s dana basht asked any hard hitting questions. She did not. Kamala proved she s not obama and she s not even biden. She s worse. What we re about to show you hide the kids will shock you. Not only did she not
