Next UN climate talks are critical to plot aid for poorer nations, says incoming president
The man who will run United Nations climate talks this November views the negotiations as a key link in international efforts to curb global warming. The conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, must build on last year's successful agreement to transition away from fossil fuels, said Mukhtar Babayev, Azerbaijan's environment minister who will serve as conference president of the talks known as COP29 this fall. Baku is the place to find common ground on how rich countries may provide financial help to poorer nations who generally don't contribute as much to warming but suffer more from climate change, Babayev said in a 30-minute interview with The Associated Press at the Azerbaijan embassy in Washington.

FAFSA delays worry students waiting on financial aid packages
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, recently underwent an overhaul to become more streamlined to open up opportunities for college students to receive financial aid. However, due to a botched rollout, there have been massive delays across the nation causing prospective students to be unsure of their enrollment status and ability to afford a higher education. National College Attainment Network CEO Kim Cook joins Wealth! to break down the issues with FAFSA and what students need to keep in mind as they wait on aid packages. Cook offers this advice to students: "Right now the form is functioning well, the form is ready for most students. So right now if a student has had issues, if a student believes they need to make corrections, now is the time to check in to their portal to find out the status of their form and any actions they need to take. If the student might have seen some of these stories and thought that FAFSA is not for me or FAFSA's not working, we'd ask them to please go give it another try and hope for a smoother experience this time."

Netflix to stop sharing user count, shares slide
STORY: Shares of Netflix slid more than 8% Friday morning after the streaming service surprised investors by saying it would no longer disclose key subscriber and revenue numbers. The announcement came late Thursday when the company reported earnings. Netflix missed second-quarter revenue forecasts, and further spooked Wall Street with its decision to withhold quarterly subscriber additions and average revenue per subscriber beginning in the first quarter of 2025. The streaming pioneer’s move to hold back those crucial metrics – which have traditionally helped boost its stock price – feeds into analysts’ expectations that subscriber growth is waning amid fierce competition. Netflix did handily beat subscriber expectations for the first quarter, as its cheaper, ad-supported plans helped attract 9.3 million new customers, nearly double the forecast of analysts polled by LSEG. But executives have urged investors to focus on overall revenue and operating margins when assessing the company's progress, rather than customer additions. Friday’s stock slide also weighed on shares of rivals Roku and Walt Disney. If the losses hold, Netflix could see more than $22 million wiped off its market capitalization.
