  "textContent": "\n\n\n\n**62:****** The _number_ of people killed – including 25 Mexican National Guard members and 34 suspected gang members – in the nationwide chaos that erupted following a military operation that killed one of Mexico’s most powerful cartel leaders, **Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera,** on Sunday. President **Claudia Sheinbaum**deployed 2,000 troops to Jalisco state, where the violence is most concentrated, on Monday as authorities brace for further cartel retaliation.\n\n* * *\n\n**9.5:** The _number of_ hours that former UK Ambassador to the US **Peter Mandelson** spent away from home on Monday evening through early Tuesday after he was _arrested_ on suspicion of sharing market-sensitive government documents with convicted sex offender **Jeffrey Epstein** , and then _released_ on bail. Mandelson becomes the latest high-profile Epstein acolyte in the UK to face legal charges, following last week’s arrest of former Prince **Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor**.\n\n**10%:** The current rate of the US’s global tariff, after US President **Donald Trump** _delayed implementing_ the 15% levy that he pledged on Saturday following the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his prior country-specific tariffs. The delay in the higher rate could create an opening for other countries to nab exemptions or preferential treatment.\n\n**9:** The number of times that South Sudan’s President **Salva Kiir** has switched his finance minister since 2020, after he _fired_ **Bak Barnaba Chol** on Monday just three months after he took the role. Kiir hired economist **Salvatore Garang** , who faced corruption charges when he served as finance minister from 2018 to 2020, to replace Chol.",
