Top NewsChina, Russia Pledge to Deepen CooperationAnchor:
Visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping has met with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Moscow.
The two leaders have vowed4 to deepen bilateral5 cooperation, most especially by situating the former's Silk Road Economic Belt initiative within the latter country's framework for the Eurasian Economic Union.
CRI's Wang Wei reports.
Reporter:
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Russian President Vladimir Putin, soon after his arrival in Russia for a three-day visit.
Xi Jinping says the two leaders have agreed to boost bilateral cooperation within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, BRICS and the G20.
"BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and other multilateral associations can do a lot of good. The Chinese side fully6 supports Russia's chairmanship in these two organizations this year. We are ready to apply efforts jointly9 with the Russian side so that these two organizations make an even more significant contribution to peace, development and prosperity."The two heads of state later inked a joint8 statement, reaffirming their commitment to integrating the Belt initiative with the EAEU construction.
Putin says he believes that his project for a trade and infrastructure10 network across Eurasia and China's Silk Road economic belt can "complement11 each other perfectly12".
"Separately we have touched upon the issue of cooperation between the Eurasian Economic Union and China. We believe that the project of Eurasian integration13 and the Silk Road economic belt can complement each other perfectly. And the notion of joining these integration models is included in the joint statement we signed with President Xi Jinping."The two leaders also oversaw14 the signing of a series of cooperation deals on such subjects as energy, transportation, space, finance and media exchanges, including a gas pipeline15 project to link Russia and China.
Xi Jinping will also join in commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two in Europe, including a military parade to be held at the Red Square later on today.
Xi Jinping says the reason for anniversary celebrations is to remember history, and prevent the tragedy of world wars from happening again.
"When we will be celebrating our common victory together, we do not mean to hate any specific countries, but rather we simply pay our respects to the fallen heroes, so that they remain in our memory and our history, so that the tragedy of war will never repeat in history again, to build peace on our planet together. These are our objectives for these anniversary celebrations."Xi Jinping also invites the Russian leader to attend war commemorations in China on Sept. 3.
Putin accepted, saying Russia and China had suffered the biggest number of casualties among their nationals of all countries involved in the war.

Chinese Soldiers Ready for V-Day ParadeAnchor:
Meanwhile more than 100 Chinese honor guards are also joining soldiers from other 9 countries to mark V-Day, preparing to march across Moscows' Red Square.
CRI's Tu Yun reports.
Reporter:
It is to be the biggest parade of its kind in modern Russia, and marks the first time China will have participated.
102 honor guards from three services of the Chinese military arrived in Moscow late last month and will march in newly designed uniforms.
Li Bentao, commander of China's honor guard, says it's a great opportunity for Chinese soldiers to show respect to Russian veterans and for the country to show its determination in defending the hard-won victory.
Over the past days, to quickly sync up with the local time and get acclimated17 to local conditions, the Chinese soldiers woke up at 3 o'clock every morning and departed for training at four.
But commander Li admits there are still some difficulties, such as the potholes18 in the brick ground at Red Square as well as the way Chinese soldiers stride.
"The average stride length for Russian soldiers is 80 centimeters, while our standard is 75 centimeters per stride and 116 steps per minute. So it's a little difficult to keep pace with the Russian troops. Russian soldiers really look very vigorous during a parade, but we will try to be more synchronized19."The Chinese soldiers will be the first among the 10 foreign troops to appear in the square, while flag-bearer Zhang Honejie will lead the Chinese legion.
"I feel very proud of carrying the national flag. As a Chinese national, it's a glory. As a soldier, it's a mission. I'm confident that I can carry the flag very steadily20 in this parade."So far, three rehearsals21 have been held. The Chinese troops impressed locals not only with their marching, but also the song they sang as they paraded.
The Russian folk song Katyusha was composed back in the late 1930s, becoming popular among Russian troops in the Great Patriotic22 War.
Zhang Hongjie says they made quite an effort to practice this.
"We had to remember the lyrics23 by homophonic translation. We spent a whole night learning the song and the whole following week improving our singing. When we sang it out during rehearsals, locals on the roadside applauded us and echoed us. The atmosphere was so impressive and our singing seemed to sound better at that time."The parade will also involve 200 military vehicles and 150 aircraft.

Chinese naval24 vessels25 arrive in Russia for joint drillsThree Chinese naval vessels arrived in Novorossiysk, Russia on Friday for joint naval drills.
The event will be held from May 11 to 21 in the Mediterranean26.
Helicopters and Special Forces will also be involved.
Deputy Commander of China's naval force Du Jingchen also serves as the head of the Chinese side of the drills.
He says the joint exercises do not target any third party and are not related to the regional situation.
"The subject of the exercises is to safeguard navigation at open sea. The drills will be centered around non-traditional safety threats. The purpose is to consolidate28 the two countries' cooperative partnership29, strengthen the two sides' pragmatic cooperation and improve the capabilities30 of the two navies to deal with maritime31 threats."China and Russia have been conducting regular military exercises since 2012, but have never conducted them so far from home for the Chinese side.
The two navies have conducted drills together in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea in recent years.
A Pacific exercise is planned for later this year.
US Commemorate32 70th Anniversary of VE DayAnchor:
In the United States, tens of thousands of people gathered at the World War Two Memorial Park in Washington DC to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Allied33 victory in Europe.
Our Washington chief correspondent Xiaohong reports.

Ann:
"(M)你好!I'm from Ohio, and he is in Virginia. (F) San Antonio, Texas."Tens of thousands of people across the country gathered Friday to mark the 70th anniversary of World War Two Victory in Europe Day. They were joined by some 300 veterans who fought in that deadly war from 1941 to 1945.
18-year-old Liberty Phillip from Texas says she is obsessed34 with that history. Even though none of her grandparents had fought in either Europe or Pacific, she felt she had lots of adopted grandfathers in those veterans.
"I wish more people realize how significant the war was and how significant the sacrifice the veterans were. And don't forget it at all. Because otherwise the same thing is gonna happen again. You got to remember what our ancestors did."89-year-old John Roman came ashore35 at Normandy in 1944 but many of his buddies36 never made it. He felt so lucky that he survived and met his wife at a cafe in France. The two have been married for 69 years and return to Normandy almost every year to remember his lost buddies.
Susan Rice, National Security Advisor37 to President Obama, says the sacrifice of these young servicemen more than 70 years ago had changed the world as well as the United States of America.
"On the homefront, the war helped unleash38 movements toward greater equality for all people. "She stressed that the story of the brave men and women will never be forgotten. And children of today who are blessedly untouched by war should be taught the history and "the price of freedom".
To mark the occasion, some 50 World War Two warplanes flew over Washington DC. They include the P-38 Lightning that had shot down Isoroku Yamamoto, the mastermind of the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as the B-29 superfortress that dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, bringing an end to the war in the pacific. The flyover39 ceremony is also designed to remember the 60 million people, including some 400 thousand Americans, who lost their lives in World War Two.

Commemorations of 70th Anniversary of VE Day Held across EuropeAnchor:
Meanwhile commemorative activities for the 70th anniversary of Victory have entered into full swing in some other European countries.
CRI' Huang Shan reports.
Reporter:
Britain's Prince Andrew and leader's from the UK's main political parties laid wreaths at the Cenotaph in London, for a remembrance service in honoring the 70th anniversary of the allied victory over Nazi40 Germany.
At 2 pm local time, the chimes of Big Ben rang out to commemorate the moment when Winston Churchill told Britain that World War Two in Europe was over.
Meanwhile, the Honourable41 Artillery42 Company near the Tower of London carried out a gun salute43, which was followed by two minutes of silence.
The last post was performed in front of hundreds of people who came to this activity to show their respects.
Later on, Queen Elizabeth II, together with the Duke of Edinburgh, lit up the first of more than 200 beacons44 outside Windsor Castle.
And in France, French President Francois Hollande and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry have attended a commemorative event as well.
President Hollande said that in the wake of attacks carried out by Islamist gunmen took place in Paris earlier this year, this kind of ceremony is helpful in unifying45 the country.
The grandchildren of French General Charles de Gualle, Laurence de Gaulle, participated the ceremony as well.
She illustrated46 the importance of the ceremony in her remarks.
"This year it's the 70th anniversary so it's a moment when we take a step back to remember what the world went through and how Europe suffered - an extended Europe right up to the Ural mountains - and it's really a moment when we should reflect on what man can endure because of ideals that serve causes that are not noble".
In Germany, top officials gathered in the Reichstag parliament building in Berlin on Friday for an hour long ceremony commemorating47 the end of World war II.
Renowned48 historian Heinrich August Winkler made a speech during the ceremony, calling for all Germany to face up to its history.
"No one expects of later generations to feel guilty in view of acts that were committed long before their birth, by Germans in the name of Germany. But responsibility for your own country always includes the will to face up to the whole history of this country. That goes for all Germans."Similar events have also been held in other European counties like Ukraine and Poland, which witnessed the start of the World War II 70 years ago.

Following his party's outright50 majority win in this week's general election, UK Prime Minister David Cameron has started nominating cabinet members for the next government.
A top UK political analyst51 says that the Conservative victory "bodes well" for Britain's relationship with China.
CRI's Duan Xuelian reports from London.
Reporter:
In his first public statement after winning the general election with a clear majority, UK Prime Minister David Cameron says he has been proud to lead the first coalition52 government in 70 years but a majority will help deliver more of what his party has promised.
"truly believe we're on the brink53 of something special in our country; we can make Britain a place where a good life is in reach for everyone who is willing to work and do the right thing. Our manifesto54 is a manifesto for working people, and as a majority government we will be able to deliver all of it; indeed, it is the reason why I think majority government is more accountable."Commentating on the election result, Professor Maurice Fraser from the London School of Economics and Political Science says, with Cameron and the Conservatives returning to power, Britain will enter a period of stability.
"Britain needs to ensure that it attracts the confidence of the investors55 around the world, it needs to be sure that it doesn't frighten the market which will make it more expansive for Britain to borrow money and there will be an expectation that political leaders, especially those who have emerged to power do their duty by the country and help to form a solid and sustainable government."Although with Mr's Cameron's promise to hold an in and out EU referendum looming57 large, Professor Fraser says Britain's foreign policies, especially those on Sino-China relationship will stay positive.
"I think the Conservative victories in the general election bodes well for Britain's relationship with China. Because the conservatives are generally seen as competent managers of Britain's foreign policy and of its interests. And everybody can see that Britain's interests lie in a stable, cooperative and constructive58 relationship with China. "Followed by his public statement, David Cameron has announced some key appointments for the new cabinet, with George Osborne, Theresa May and Phillip Hammond remaining in their respective posts of Chancellor59 of the Exchequer60, Home Secretary and Foreign Secretary.
For CRI, I'm Duan Xuelian in LondonChinese helicopters bring relief supplies to hard-hit Nepalese townThe death toll61 from the Nepal earthquake has climbed to 7-thousand eight hundered eighty five with 17-thousand eight hundred three reportedly injured.
Many of the worst-affected areas are in mountainous regions where aid has been slow to reach due to poor road infrastructure.
On Friday, two Chinese helicopters brought tons of relief supplies to Chautara, one of the worst-affected areas in the earthquake.
Helicopter pilot Que Mao explains how he made the aid delivery.
"We fly to the quake-hit villages based on their longitudes62 and latitudes63, and then choose the best landing locations according to weather and terrain64 conditions."Another batch65 of materials including water purifying machines and first-aid kits66 were dispatched aboard 18 planes by China, and are scheduled to arrive in Nepal Saturday.
Two weeks into its relief operations in Nepal, World Food Programme says food is an increasingly urgent need in the country.
The organization says its emergency operations in Nepal are only four percent funded so far and is calling on the international community to match "the immense needs of Nepalis".
5-day Yemen ceasefire to start next weekIt has been announced that a five-day ceasefire in Yemen will start on May 12th.
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir says that the ceasefire is renewable, and will depend on compliance68 by Yemen's Houthi rebels and their allies.
"We have made a decision that the ceasefire will begin this Tuesday, May 12, at 11pm and will last for five days and be subject to renewal69 if it works out. The requirements are, first and foremost, that there is a commitment by the Houthis and their allies, including (ousted President) Ali Abdullah Saleh and those forces that are loyal to him, to abide70 by the ceasefire. As I said yesterday in Riyadh, this ceasefire will be throughout Yemen or nowhere in Yemen and the matter is entirely71 up to the Houthis and their allies."Al-Jubeir made the comments at a news conference in Paris alongside US Secretary of State John Kerry, who said the US supports all the efforts made for a peaceful settlement of the Yemen crisis.
"This ceasefire is conditioned on the Houthis agreeing to live by the same commitments. So we strongly urge the Houthis and those who back them, we suggest use all their influence not to miss this major opportunity to address the needs of the Yemeni people and find a peaceful way forward in Yemen."The announcement came hours after the Saudi-led coalition carrying out airstrikes in Yemen declared a rebel stronghold along the kingdom's border a "military target" and gave residents an ultimatum72 to leave the region by nightfall.
Technical fault caused heli crash: Pakistani foreign secretaryAn army helicopter carrying foreign dignitaries crashed on Friday in Pakistan due to a "technical failure", according to the country's foreign secretary Aizaz Chaudhry.
The ambassadors to Pakistan from the Philippines and Norway and the wives of the ambassadors from Malaysia and Indonesia were among seven people killed in the crash.
Ten passengers were injured.
Hours after the crash, the Pakistani Taliban issued a statement claiming they had shot down the helicopter with an anti-aircraft missile.
However, Aizaz Chaudhry dismissed the claim.
"The TTP claim is a bogus claim, there were full arrangements of security in place, the prime minister had given full instructions and they were being complied with, as I said, all the heights were occupied by our people, this was a technical failure and unfortunately accidents do happen. Yes, we are very sad, very very sad and grieved but accidents are accidents and we would not allow any terrorists to make political mileage73 out of this, it is not in order."The helicopter was on route to the northern village of Naltar where Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was to attend a public ceremony to inaugurate a newly installed chair-lift at a ski resort.
China to Raise Cigarette Consumption TaxAnchor:
The wholesale74 tax rate for cigarettes is going to be raised from 5 percent to 11-percent here in China.
As CRI's Sophie Williams reports, the tax raise aims to curb75 the number of smokers76 in the world's largest tobacco maker78 and consumer.
Reporter:
Besides an increase of the wholesale tax rate, cigarette retailers80 will also have to pay an additional 0.005 yuan for each cigarette they sell.
This is estimated to make retail79 price of cigarettes in 2015 increase by over 10 percent from that of last year.
According to the World Health Organization, if tobacco prices go up by 10 percent, about 3.7% of adult smokers would quit smoking.
Deputy director of the Research Institute for Economics, State Tobacco Monopoly Administration Li Baojiang hails the move.
"The raise in the wholesale tax will be felt by consumers as it will be passed on to retail prices. So the number of cigarettes consumed by smokers will be reduced. And the number of smokers will be reduced. Therefore, it'll exert a positive impact by curbing81 smoking."Zheng Rong, a professor at China's University of International Business and Economics, agrees.
She also points out that it is a common practice for other countries to curb smoking by raising taxes on cigarettes.
"Studies are indicating that many countries are frequently levying82 taxes on cigarettes, thus increasing the retail prices. For example, the retail price in Thailand has been frequently raised on an average of six months in the past five to six years. So it has a good and effective record of curbing smoking."The professor adds that the move can also help to increase government revenues, which can in turns be used to increase health services.
"China is carrying out universal health care coverage83 and the expenditure84 in health care is increasing. The government needs to take measures to curb cigarette consumption and reduce the losses caused by it. So it is necessary to curb smoking by raising taxes in terms of government income and expenditure."Data from WHO shows that if a country increases its tax on each pack of cigarettes by some 50-percent, government revenues will increase by some 100 billion US dollars.
This is the fourth adjustment in China's cigarette wholesale tax since it was set in 1994.
With the raise taking effect on Sunday, taxes will make up around 56-percent of cigarette retail prices, still lower than a world average of 65 to-75 percent.
Experts suggest this means that there is still room to further increase cigarette prices and taxes.

Weekly Biz Roundup(Saturday)Weekly Business ReviewAnchor:
It's time to take a look back at some of the headlines from the business world this past week in our Weekly Business Review.
The 10th Cross-Strait Economic, Trade and Culture Forum has concluded in Shanghai with fruitful results. China's top economic regulator sets rules to attract private investment in infrastructure. It also lifted price controls on most medicines. And the Chinese government shaking up management at the country's top three oil companies.
Lets catch all of that and more with CRI's Wenjie.
Reporter:
The 10th Cross-Strait Economic, Trade and Culture Forum concluded in Shanghai on Sunday.
Many proposals as to the development of cross-Strait relations and future prospects92 were raised at the forum.
This year's forum focused on small-and medium-sized companies, youth and people from lower economic areas.
Zhang Zhijun, head of the Taiwan Work Office of the CPC Central Committee, says the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations is the right path to generate economic benefits for both sides.
"The common political commitments of the 1992 Consensus93 and opposing the Taiwan independence movement are the political basis for peaceful development of cross-Strait relations, and should be firmly adhered to. This forum deserves much of the credit for promoting the development of cross-Strait relations during the past 10 years, and most of the proposals raised at the forum have been translated into specific policies, which have already brought tangible94 benefits to both sides."Zhang adds that efforts are needed to promote cross-Strait economic integration, pay more attention to how people on both sides feel about the development of the ties.
He also says both sides should create more opportunities for youth from both the mainland and Taiwan to study, intern67, and work and start their own businesses.
///////////////China's top economic regulator announced on Tuesday that a regulation on managing infrastructure and public project franchise95 will take effect in June.
The new plans, known as Public-Private Partnerships96, will be open to both foreign and domestic private tendering.
Li Pumin, Secretary General of the National Development and Reform Commission, says the investment model makes sense for China.
"This regulation can help attract private money into infrastructure and public projects via corporate97 investment. Companies, be them either domestic or foreign, will be treated equally in the bidding process for infrastructure and public projects."Policy banks and other lending institutions are also being forced to provide "differentiated98" credit support to the projects.
This will include loans of up to 30-years.
///////////////Also on Tuesday, the National Development and Reform Commission announced that price controls on most medicines will be lifted starting from June 1.
Song Dacai, head of the medicine pricing department of the Commission, says the move will help establish a market-oriented pricing mechanism99 for medicines.
"What's important is to establish a pricing mechanism for medicines and make the price reflect the supply-demand relationship. This on the one hand can help stimulate100 product research and innovation of companies, and improve medicine quality; on the other hand, it can guarantee the production and supply of some common clinical medicines."Now only narcotics101 and some listed psychotropic drugs will continue to be controlled by the government, with ceiling retail prices.
The Commission has also called on public health departments to step up supervision102 on medical institutions and ban improper103 medicine and medical equipment use, as well as excessive checkups and treatment.
////////////////China's Ministry104 of Finance announced Friday that the wholesale tax rate for cigarettes will be raised to 11 percent from 5 percent starting from Sunday.
As the world's largest tobacco maker and consumer, China has more than 300 million smokers, almost the size of the U.S. population.
Another 740 million people are exposed to second-hand105 smoke each year.
To curb the number of smokers, China released a draft regulation on tobacco control in late 2014 that will ban all forms of tobacco advertising107, sponsorship and promotion108 of tobacco products.
////////////On Thursday, the International Monetary109 Fund predicted China's economic growth will ease to 6.8 percent this year and to 6.3 percent next year.
The projection110 for this year is lower than the organization's previous projection of 7.1 percent made in January.
The numbers are included in IMF's latest "Asia and Pacific Outlook" report.
The report attributes the decline to the correction in property and related sectors111 that continues to drag on investment.
The report also notes that although China's growth has eased "faster than expected," the country is on track for more sustainable expansion.
IMF Senior Resident Representative for China Alfred Schipke says he is quite positive about China's economic prospects based on the current indicators112.
"If you look at some other indicators such as wage growth, for instance nominal113 wage growth, it's still holding up relatively114 well. So in terms of aggregate115 demand, I think we are not that concerned. As I pointed116 out earlier, if you look at retail sales, which is another high frequency data to look at consumption demand, it's also holding up relatively well."IMF adds that China is faced with the challenge to find new, sustainable engines of growth while managing weakness generated under previous policies.
//////////////On the corporate front,Changes to the top executives at China National Petroleum117, Sinopec and China National Offshore118 Oil were announced on Monday.
The move is expected to accelerate market-driven reform of the oil and gas industry.
Wang Yupu, deputy head of the Chinese Academy of Engineering will be the new chairman of Sinopec as Fu Chengyu retires.
Former deputy of China National Petroleum Corp Wang Yilin will return to the company in the latest leadership shuffle119.
Wang will leave his current post as the head of China National Offshore Oil Corporation.
He will be replaced by the company's president, Yang Hua.
These top executive will also face challenges to steer120 the oil giants through the current corruption121 crackdown and a tumble in global crude prices.
/////////////The stock trading of China's two high-speed railway giants was suspended on Wednesday, which marked the last step of the long-awaited merger122.
China North Railway and China South Railway will form a new company called CRRC Corporation Limited.
According to the merger plan, the incorporated company will emphasize overseas industrial layout and management in order to establish promising123 influence.
Exchange data shows that since the announcement of the merger on Oct. 30, 2014, stocks prices of the two companies surged over 500 percent.
Zhang Gang, chief strategies analyst of Southwest Securities,says the rally is boosted by optimistic market expectations.
"The overly optimistic expectation to the merged56 company's future business outlook has been reflected in the stock prices. Certainly, it is only a market expectation. Whether the CRRC Corporation is capable of maintaining a sustainable significant growth or not like the market expectation depends on the situation on how many orders it can gain from the overseas market."/////////Chinese antivirus firm Qihoo 360 Technology was censured124 on Tuesday by three major testing organizations for cheating on several international evaluations125.
The three labs of Austria, Germany and the U.K. have stripped Qihoo of all awarded certifications and rankings for this year.
The labs say they will also put in place controls to make sure that Qihoo and others cannot rig the tests in the future.
Qihoo has denied the charges.
Vice16 president of Qihoo 360 Qu Xiaodong argues that their antivirus software is based on a multi-engine architecture, and works differently in overseas countries because it uses this different model.
"We use different engines of 360 security products in various markets. 360 is an antivirus software with multi- engines. In the Chinese market, we are using the QVM engine based on cloud technology which is more suitable given the market rules."Qihoo 360 is headquartered in Beijing, and reported revenue of 1.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2014.
And that concludes this edition of the weekly business review. I'm Wenjie. Thank you for listening.
SportsStephon Marbury renews contract, stays for one more year with BeijingStephon Marbury has renewed his contract and will play for the Beijing Ducks for one more year.
Beijing coach Min Lulei said there will be at least two more seasons for Marbury until he is 40.
Min said he will ensure that Marbury is not overtrained to keep him in the best shape for the regular and post season at the CBA.
Min said finding a substitute while Marbury is still with Beijing is not an option and he will consider that when the time comes.
Marbury had been playing for Beijing since 2012. He has won 3 championships in the CBA.
He applied126 for permanent residency last month, a green-card like ID that grants foreigners the legal right to stay in China.
Marbury was an NBA All-Star for two years and had previously127 played for teams such as the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics.
Spain's football federation128 threatens strike over TV rights disputesStaying in Spain,La Liga has launched a lawsuit129 to overturn a decision by the football federation to suspend matches from May 16.
The federation earlier pledged to halt the season over disputes with the government on new broadcasting rights.
The federation and player's union threatened an open-end strike to force the government to redistribute revenues from broadcasting games.
La Liga president Javier Tebas called it an illegal strike.
"I would ask them to call off the strike. There is no other solution. At least regarding our side. We are not going to give in to blackmail130 or a false, unfair strike and we also hope that the Spanish government doesn't as well."The decisive last two games in La Liga could both be hit, as well as the King's Cup final between Barcelona and Athletic131 Bilbao.
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said his team planned for the season to have a normal end.
"I think dialogue will help win this battle and that the whole thing can be solved. It is something that affects all the parties. They all have their reasons but I think the players and those in the world of football should be considered to reach an agreement. That would be the best way of solving it.
The strike is estimated to cost at least 50 million euros per day in losses from sponsorship, betting and other sources.
Nadal through to semi-finals at Madrid OpenTurning over to tennis in Spain,Rafael Nadal cruised through to the semi-finals at the Madrid Open with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Grigor Dimitrov.

Mayweather said he lost respect for Pacquiao during an interview with Showtime that has not been aired.
Mayweather won the welterweight championship over Pacquiao by unanimous deciscion in what was called "the fight of the century".
He did not think the injury was the reason for Pacquiao's defeat and said it was all excuses.
He lost, he know he lost and I lost a lot of respect for him after all of this. You know you fight, if you lose it's OK - Mayweather was the better man. You know, a true champion can bounce back but c'mon, it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. I won. I know I won. I know I'm the better fighter."Pacquiao was accused of not disclosing the injury but argued he thought he would be fine.
He had undergone a successful surgery following the fight.
Nevada boxing officials are considering disciplinary action against Pacquiao for not disclosing the injury before the fight.
There has been a lawsuit filed in federal court in Las Vegas asking for fraud damages on behalf of people who spent money on the fight.

Entertainment High hopes for Chinese films at Cannes Film FestivalThe Cannes Film Festival is set to kick off next week with filmmakers from around the world competing for the festival's highest honor, the Palme d'Or.
This year, Chinese cinema has high hopes.
Director Hou Hsiao-Hsien from Taiwan will debut132 his first attempt at making a martial133 arts film with The Assassin. The movie was 7 years in the making and finally began filming in 2012.
James Marsh134, a film critic based in Hong Kong, pointed out that although Hou is held in high esteem135 at Cannes, there's some "apprehension136" when it comes to "The Assassin."" There's a bit of apprehension, you know, Hou Hsiao Hsien hasn't done a wuxia film before. He's far more sort of minimalist normally with his style. But I don't think anybody is going to hold back in regard to how much they like the film. "Another strong contender in competition is director Jia Zhangke, who, like Hou, is a regular at Cannes.
His films, including "Unknown Pleasures," "24 City" and "I Wish I Knew" have previously competed at the festival, with "A Touch of Sin" winning the Best Screenplay Award in 2013. Jia was also on jury duty last year at the festival.
The Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 13th to May 24th.
