Connor McDavid has achieved something only three other people in the NHL have ever done. The Edmonton Oilers captain, who missed his team’s last three games with an undisclosed injury, recorded his 100th assist of the season in Monday’s game against the visiting San Jose Sharks. Wayne Gretzky did it 11 times, while Bobby Orr and Mario Lemieux each got there once.

Stung by paying billions of dollars for settlements and trials, chemical giant Bayer has been lobbying lawmakers in three states to pass bills providing it a legal shield from lawsuits that claim its popular weedkiller Roundup causes cancer. Nearly identical bills introduced in Iowa, Missouri and Idaho this year — with wording supplied by Bayer — would protect pesticide companies from claims they failed to warn that their product causes cancer, if their labels otherwise complied with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s regulations.

STORY: China’s economy is doing better than expected. Figures out Tuesday showed growth hitting 5.3% in the first quarter. That was comfortably ahead of analyst forecasts. The world’s second-largest economy has struggled to deliver a strong post-COVID recovery. It’s been held back by factors including a mounting crisis in its huge property sector. Many major developers are struggling to survive as they grapple with massive debts. China also faces mountainous debts at local government level, and weak consumer spending.Officials have turned to spending on infrastructure to help lift growth. The overall picture remains very mixed. Other data released Tuesday showed retail spending growing less than expected. Consumer price inflation also cooled more than expected, adding to signs of subdued demand from shoppers. For now though, the GDP numbers will spell relief for officials, who have set a 5% growth target for the year. They’re expected to unveil more monetary and fiscal measures in a bid to hit that figure. Many economists say it looks ambitious, however, with last year’s rate of 5.2% flattered by a rebound from lockdowns.

San Diego’s Jackson Merrill went 3 for 5 and drove in two runs and Milwaukee’s Jackson Chourio hit a two-run homer and scored twice in the Padres’ 7-3 victory over the Brewers on Monday night.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday two-way ties with Germany would continue to develop steadily as long as both respected each other and sought "common ground" while reserving differences. "We must view and develop bilateral relations in an all-round way from a long-term and strategic perspective," Xi told German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Beijing, the Chinese capital. Scholz's three-day visit to China was his first since his government launched a "de-risking" strategy last year to avoid tethering Germany too closely to the world's second-largest economy.
