标题：Japan spent billions to prop up the yen. Why is it still weak?

The US-Israel war with Iran has added fresh pressure on the yen

正文：The yen's weakness has become a growing issue for Japan's policymakers, given its impact on import prices and household costs.Concerns intensified in late April, when the currency slid to its weakest level since July 2024. Authorities responded by spending almost US$74 billion – a record amount for a month-lon period – to prop up the currency, triggering a sharp rebound. But the effect was short-lived, and the yen remains weak. By late June, the yen had tumbled further to around 161.8 per dollar, closing in on the July 2024 peak and threatening to hit its lowest level in 40 years. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has since reiterated that the government stands ready to take "appropriate action", raising the prospect of further intervention.

标题：Tournament of losers

The World Cup is a festival for corporate has -beens

正文： Money, it is often said, has ruined football. Staging the men’s World Cup mostly in America, a country that has produced so many great businessmen and so few good footballers, was supposed to mark the triumph of big business over the beautiful game. True, ticket prices are extortionate.The tournament even feels like a Silicon Valley conference circa 2016: referees have cameras strapped to their heads and each player has his own “digital twin”,whatever that means. Yet despite the pretences of the tournament’s organisers, the business of World Cup football is a simple, struggling one. The retailers, television stations, brewers and betting houses that make up capitalism’s starting XI are an ageing and injury-prone lot. For some, this could even be their last tournament.

知识点：ruin v. /ˈruːɪn/
to damage something so badly that it no longer works, exists, or can be enjoyed properly. 毁坏；破坏；毁掉
e.g. A sudden heavy rain can easily ruin a carefully planned outdoor picnic in the park. 一场突如其来的大雨，很容易就能毁掉一场精心筹备的公园户外野餐。
