Timely reports on inflation and the job market were disrupted this fall by the six-week government shutdown. But some of that information will come dribbling out this week.

Claire Lai says her father is an ailing 78-year-old, and he's seen a precipitous decline in health over the last years of his five-year imprisonment so far. He has heart issues, he has skin problems, he has infections, back issues, waist problems. The lead judge in his case said Lai harbored, quote, resentment and hatred towards China, which his daughter denies.
When you're guided by the Holy Spirit, despite what the judgment says, there is no room for hate and there is no... Coming from a family of devout Catholics, the younger Lai says she has faith her father's case can be dealt with by political negotiation.
