Financial Times - Savers withdrew nearly $60bn from three US banks as Apple raises heat
Summary of the front page
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.

Washington hotel shooting raises security concerns for Trump and officials
What’s happening?
A shooting incident at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has raised serious security concerns, especially regarding former President Trump’s safety. The acting attorney general has indicated that Trump and his officials could be potential targets. No injuries were reported.
The BBC headlines, “Trump and his officials ‘likely’ targets of suspected gunman, acting attorney general says,” emphasize the potential threat to Trump and his inner circle. Meanwhile, CNN’s headline, “How Washington’s biggest annual dinner transformed into chaos — and a crime scene,” focuses on the event itself and the broader chaos it caused. This reflects a framing difference where the BBC centers on the implications for individuals involved, while CNN presents a narrative of disruption and immediate danger surrounding the event.
