The Financial Times says savers withdrew nearly $60bn from US banks Charles Schwab, State Street and M&T in the first quarter as customers moved their money in search of higher interest rates. Traditional banks could face further threat because of Apple and Goldman Sachs’ new savings account in the US that will pay 4.15% interest a year, it reports.

What’s happening?
Authorities are responding to multiple wildfires in Spokane County, Washington, which have resulted in significant property damage and evacuation orders. One fire, named the Old Trails Fire, has led to widespread evacuations as it threatens homes and businesses in the area.
In contrasting coverage of these events, NBC News headlined, “Man arrested on suspicion of arson in 1 of 3 wildfires torching Washington’s Spokane area,” focusing on the suspect and the legal implications. Meanwhile, KREM reported, “Man in custody for allegedly starting Old Trails Fire,” placing emphasis on the fire itself and the ongoing threat to the community. This difference illustrates a framing between the individual’s accountability and the broader consequences of the wildfire situation.
