It’s been a very bad year so far for Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, in ways extremely unique to being one of the biggest tech companies in the world. Despite still making almost $US7 ($10) billion in profit in recent months, TikTok is eating its lunch, the stock price is in shambles, and even the Kardashians have revolted. Now Meta is also being sued by the Federal Trade Commission over its monopoly in VR tech. It’s a shocking case that could have consequences for other big acquisitions in the realm of gaming.
Filed on the same day as Meta’s latest bad earnings report, the FTC is seeking an injunction against the company’s attempted takeover of Within, a VR startup with a hit workout app called Supernatural. The agency literally called it an “illegal acquisition to expand [Meta’s] virtual reality empire” in its press release. Meta responded, claiming in a statement that the FTC’s argument is based on ideology instead of evidence, and will hurt future developments in VR.
“It’s a riskier case, but one they think is worth bringing because if they succeed it will help bring the frontier of enforcement outward,” William Kovacic, a former chairman of the FTC, told The New York Times on Wednesday. The case will be hashed out in the weeks and months ahead in the Northern District Court of California.
Why the FTC’s Meta lawsuit came as a Surprise
Considering Within would barely even register as a rounding error on the billions Meta currently invests annually into VR development, it seemed like a weird deal for the FTC to go beast mode over. But for antitrust advocates, it’s a perfect target for rolling back the clock on years of lax enforcement. After letting Meta gobble up competitor after competitor (most notoriously Instagram and WhatsApp), the FTC has to start somewhere.
“Because of those failures and others, the FTC (and DOJ) is now scrambling to play catch-up, spending enormous time and resources on lawsuits to try to unwind deals and stop monopoly abuses,” wrote Ron Knox, a researcher at the anti-monopoly Institute for Local Self-Reliance, in a thread yesterday. “[FTC Chair] Lina Khan, in this lawsuit against the Within merger, has said: no more.”
In 2020, Meta controlled 62% of the market for VR headsets. In the first quarter of 2021, its Oculus headset shipments made up 75% of the market (and just this week it announced it would hike the price by $US100 ($139)). This funnels users into the Oculus store for VR apps. One of them is Supernatural, a super-popular immersive fitness experience that lets you box, meditate, and do yoga in virtual reality. Meta’s philosophy, like other big tech companies, has long been “if you can’t beat’em, buy’em,” and its VR business is the clearest example of that.
The headset technology, Oculus Rift, was originally developed by Doom lead designer John Carmack and others, and paid for in part by crowdfunding on Kickstarter. In 2014 Meta bought it for $US2 ($3) billion. One of the most popular VR games ever has been Beat Saber. Meta bought it in 2019. The company has since snatched up a bunch of other VR studios.
“If Meta is allowed to buy Within, that competitive pressure will slacken,” the FTC wrote in its announcement yesterday. “That lessening of competition violates the antitrust laws.” The agency goes on to argue that the trend itself discourages other creators from innovating in the space.
What it could mean for gaming
It’s hard not to see some parallels to Microsoft’s current bid to buy Activision Blizzard. The company’s been on its own spending spree, gobbling up studios to feed the neverending content furnace that is Game Pass. In some ways, the strategy dates back to buying Minecraft in 2014. But the acquisition of Obsidian, InXile, Ninja Theory, and others in recent years shows buying content instead of making its own wasn’t a one-off. With Bethesda, it acquired hits like Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, and Doom. With Activision Blizzard it’ll acquire Call of Duty, Diablo, and Candy Crush.
One key difference is that Microsoft doesn’t have the same stranglehold on gaming hardware that Meta has on VR. The Xbox maker has also gone out of its way to try to reassure the FTC that nothing it’s doing is anti-competitive. In February, Microsoft committed to a list of “Open App Store Principles” and signalled to the FTC that it wouldn’t make games like Call of Duty and Overwatch platform exclusives. In June it pledged to remain neutral on union activity, and convinced the Communication Workers of America to voice its support for the takeover bid.
Notably, Sony’s acquisition of Bungie also just went through without a hitch. That could be because the FTC is focused on conventional tech deals at companies like Apple and Google (the agency is also currently investigating Amazon). At the same time, if the Activision Blizzard takeover goes through, it would be the largest acquisition in tech history. Weirdly, Microsoft agreed to pay $US95 ($132) a share, but Activision Blizzard stock is still only trading at $US79 ($110). The deal is expected to close by June 2023, and Microsoft has reportedly already shared all of the information the FTC was looking for. Once Activision Blizzard does the same, the agency will have 30 days to complete its review. | https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/07/shots-fired-at-facebooks-vr-monopoly/ | 2022-07-29T06:19:41Z | https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2022/07/shots-fired-at-facebooks-vr-monopoly/ | false | 3 |

BEIJING (AP) — China’s leaders effectively acknowledged the struggling economy won’t hit its official 5.5% growth target this year and said Thursday they will try to prop up sagging consumer demand but will stick to strict anti-COVID-19 tactics that disrupted manufacturing and trade.
The announcement after a Communist Party planning meeting reflected the high cost President Xi Jinping’s government has been willing to incur to stop the virus in a politically sensitive year when Xi is widely expected to try to extend his term in power.
The party promised to “strive to achieve the best results” in the second half. It didn’t directly address the growth goal but dropped references in earlier statements about targets, effectively acknowledging the economy will fall short after growing just 2.5% over a year ago in the first half.
“Policymakers implicitly walked back from the original growth target,” said Larry Hu of Macquarie Group in a report. “It means that they no longer view 5.5%, or even 5%, as achievable for this year.”
Party leaders promised to “actively act in expanding demand” and to make up for lack of consumer and business spending.
Retails sales, a major driver of growth, were off 0.7% from a year earlier in the first half after plunging 11% in April following the temporary shutdown of Shanghai and some other major cities to fight virus outbreaks.
Thursday’s statement affirmed support for the anti-COVID-19 strategy despite its rising economic cost and social disruption.
“We should resolutely and conscientiously implement the policies and measures for the prevention and control of COVID-19," the statement said. “We should do a good job in tracking virus mutations and developing new vaccines and drugs.”
Forecasters don’t expect Beijing to ease anti-virus controls until at least after a ruling party congress in October or November, when Xi is expected to try to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as party leader.
China rebounded quickly from the pandemic in 2020, but activity weakened as the government tightened controls on use of debt by its vast real estate industry, which supports millions of jobs. Economic growth slid due to a slump in construction and housing sales.
Repeated shutdowns and uncertainty about business conditions have devastated entrepreneurs who generate most of China’s new wealth and jobs. Small retailers and restaurants have closed. Others say they are struggling to stay afloat. | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/business/article/China-backs-away-from-growth-goal-sticks-to-17335125.php | 2022-07-29T06:28:34Z | https://www.stamfordadvocate.com/business/article/China-backs-away-from-growth-goal-sticks-to-17335125.php | false | 44 |
Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood rejects 'struggle for power', exiled leader says
Within Egypt the movement, which over decades developed a network of charitable organisations, still enjoys the sympathy of many of the country's 102 million people, Munir said. He said the political dialogue expected to start within weeks between Sisi's government and selected opposition groups is not a serious initiative and cannot achieve results if it excludes the Muslim Brotherhood or other figures.
- Country:
- Egypt Arab Rep
Egypt's outlawed Muslim Brotherhood will not launch a new struggle for power with authorities that toppled it from government nine years ago, even though the movement still claims wide support, its acting leader said. The once formidable Islamist movement won Egypt's first free presidential election in 2012, but was overthrown by the military a year later after mass protests against its rule and has endured a fierce crackdown by authorities since then.
Many of its leaders and thousands of its supporters are in jail or have fled Egypt, and the group has been excluded from a political dialogue to be launched soon by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who as the army chief deposed the Brotherhood in 2013. Cairo has designated the Brotherhood a terrorist organization, but acting leader Ibrahim Munir reiterated the group's long-standing rejection of violence.
He also appeared to rule out challenging for power through the ballot box - something the group is unable to do directly while it remains banned in Egypt, although it did field independent candidates in parliamentary elections in the past. "We completely reject (violence) and we consider it outside the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood - not only the use of violence and arms, but to have a struggle for power in Egypt in any form," Munir told Reuters in an interview.
"We reject the struggle for power even if between political parties through elections organised by the state. This is totally rejected by us." Munir, 85, who was twice jailed in Egypt in the 1950s and 1960s and has lived in exile for most of the last 40 years, said the Brotherhood had survived difficult times before but was now experiencing the toughest period since it was founded more than 90 years ago.
He said it was not clear how many Brotherhood supporters were in jail in Egypt, though he cited some estimates that put the numbers around 5,000 and 6,000. Many, he said, had also had their money confiscated. Egypt's state press centre did not respond to a request for comment. Officials deny holding political prisoners and say that security measures taken against the Brotherhood were necessary to stabilise the country.
"Definitely this time is tougher than previous times and previous ordeals," Munir said. Munir himself took the mantle of acting leader two years ago because the Brotherhood's general guide, or leader, has been in jail since the group lost power in 2013 and his initial successor was then detained in 2020.
Munir acknowledged that the Brotherhood had experienced internal division over how to respond to the crisis, and that a new leader would be chosen "when the situation stabilises". REGIONAL SHIFTS
Compounding the Brotherhood's challenges, shifting Middle East diplomacy has seen two countries which offered refuge to Brotherhood supporters in the last decade - Turkey and Qatar - mending relations with an axis of states committed to crushing the group - Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Turkey last year asked Egyptian opposition television channels operating on its territory to moderate criticism of the Cairo government as it tries to rebuild relations with Egypt.
Munir said the Brotherhood had not yet come under pressure in Turkey. "So far we do not see or feel it but it is the right of the Turkish state to do anything that ensures its peace and the security of its people," he said. Within Egypt the movement, which over decades developed a network of charitable organisations, still enjoys the sympathy of many of the country's 102 million people, Munir said.
He said the political dialogue expected to start within weeks between Sisi's government and selected opposition groups is not a serious initiative and cannot achieve results if it excludes the Muslim Brotherhood or other figures. "Dialogue is really needed but it has to include everyone," said Munir.
The chair of the dialogue has said that the Brotherhood could not take part because they had "blood on their hands".

Fine Gael Cllr Paul Ross
The system of driver's licence renewal in place by the National Driver Licence Service is “ageist” and needs to be reviewed according to one local elected representative.
In a motion to Longford County Council Fine Gael's Paul Ross called on Transport Minister, Eamon Ryan, and the NDLS to “reinstate the walk-in service for people who wish to renew their driving licence”. Cllr Ross said the appointment service in place “is proving very difficult” for many services users.
“There was quite a bit of confusion when Covid restrictions were in place,” he told the chamber, “At this point in time everyone has to have an appointment to renew their drivers licence. Elderly members of the community have come to me to express annoyance because they have gone to the National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) office and been told they cannot renew their licence even though it's about to expire.”
Cllr Ross made a recommendation that could address the inequity: “There is an online system in place in Longford at the the moment. It's fine for a person who's computer savvy, but it is difficult for many elderly people. I think the current system is ageist. I think the Minister should provide a specific time slot to allow elderly people renew their licence, without having to go through the online process.”
The motion was seconded by Cllr Colm Murray. Members of the local authority agreed to write to the Minister with Cllr Ross's proposal.

Letter: Expand information about politicians
It's unrealistic to think we will legislate away the influence of money in Congress ["Fire IRS workers, then change rules," Letters, May 21]. The Citizens United ruling by the Supreme Court protects corporate contributions, and our representatives will never willingly restrict their own access to campaign funds.
We could, however, make the money ineffective. Money gets congressional representatives re-elected because the ads it buys are practically the only information we have come election time. We need a publicly funded website that will give us three missing pieces of the puzzle: clear summaries of bills that are introduced in Congress, and what has been added by special interests; what our representatives say about these bills when they speak on the floor; and how our representatives vote.

7-year-old reported missing in Texas found dead inside washing machine
(CNN) - A Texas neighborhood is in shock after a 7-year-old boy was found dead inside of a washing machine at his home.
Before the discovery, his adopted parents reported him missing.
Investigators are now working to see if any foul play was involved.
“Never seen nothing like that before. Not here,” neighbor Rudy Chata said.
The Harris County Precinct 4 Constables Office released Troy Khoeler’s picture and asked the public to be on the lookout for him.
After canvassing the neighborhood, their attention was turned back to Troy’s home.
“Constables got here, did a brief interview for the missing person report, and things that they observed led them to search the house thoroughly,” Lieutenant Robert Minchew said.
Sadly, that search ended with Troy found fully clothed in a washing machine inside the garage of his home around 7:20 a.m. Thursday.
“I don’t even know what to say. It hurts me to my soul that a child would be hurt that way,” neighbor Sherri Barnes said.
CPS confirmed that Troy’s parents had fostered him, then officially adopted him in 2019.
He was enrolled in the Spring Independent School District, as his teacher say he was full of energy, loved his instructors, and was very bright.
Neighbors say Troy had just moved into the house with his parents a couple of weeks ago.
It’s still unclear how the parents discovered Troy was missing or if there’s more to the story, but investigators are interviewing the parents and checking every possibility.
“We don’t know what happened, but we intend to find out,” Minchew said.
The parents were detained and brought in for questioning.
No other children currently live with the family.

By his own admission, Tyrod Taylor is a rather quiet, lowkey guy.
But the New York Giants quarterback’s passion for fashion has also made him one of the best-dressed players in the league. He’s strolled into different stadiums on NFL Sundays donning everything from custom suits to pieces he designed, catching the eyes of cameras and teammates alike.
“I’ve always looked at fashion as an opportunity to express myself, especially since I’m not a very outspoken guy,” he said in an interview with Sportico. “So I want to do that as often as possible.”
At Fashion Week events in Paris, New York and Milan during the offseason, it’s common to find Taylor in the front row, chopping it up with heavyweight creatives such as Paul Andrew and Samuel Ross. The Hampton, Va., native is not only fluent in X’s and O’s but has also become a student of fashion, learning from creative directors of various designer brands.
“I’m truly just being me, and not doing it for any recognition,” said Taylor, who was named to Sports Illustrated’s “Fashionable 50” list in 2017. “People who grew up with me would tell you that this didn’t just happen when I got to the NFL. I’ve always been this way, but obviously it’s taken on its own legs.”
Taylor’s more than a humble fashionista who buys fly clothes; he’s now is an emerging designer himself, who plans to roll out his high-end line—Diallo, a nod to his middle name—within the next year. The line will be upscale but not as pricey as other luxury brands. Taylor says it’s in production right now and slated to appeal to a swath of consumers, including NFL players who often have wide-ranging body types.
The former Virginia Tech star plans to start sporting pieces from the line this season on his way into locker rooms every week. For years, some players have poked fun at him for looking dapper before games, but he says others who also have great interest in fashion should use that opportunity to show off their fits.
“Sometimes athletes are brainwashed to think we need to come to work wearing T-shirts and sweatpants,” he said. “That doesn’t have to be you. Especially for football players. We only play once a week, so you only get one chance to be dressed in front of cameras.”
Taylor’s fashion is just one facet of his entrepreneurial mindset. While earning more than $59 million in salary during his playing career, he’s also become a leading athlete investor in private equity and venture capital, putting money into roughly two dozen companies with strong returns. He was involved in Dapper Labs’ Series C funding round (which valued the NFT company $305 million) and NoBull’s latest funding round (valuing the fitness brand at more than $500 million). He says he’s invested more than $10 million into different companies over the last decade.
Like many pro athletes, Taylor makes use of a financial advisor and a CPA in making financial decisions, but he is adamant about educating himself and being hands-on with his growing portfolio.
“It’s about getting out of your comfort zone,” he said. “We, as athletes, know football and sports like the back of our hands, but to tap into something else, we have to put in the same amount of time.”
His business activity picked up during his fifth year in the league after he fulfilled his rookie contract. As a starter in Buffalo, with a new restructured deal valued at $90 million, he began talking with teammates who had similar business interests. He dove into the world of investing from there.
Taylor, who turns 33 next week, likes to invest in companies and brands pertinent to him in some way—which explains the sports-related companies in his portfolio—as well as real-estate opportunities. He was an investor in new off-campus housing near Winthrop University in South Carolina that’s already leased and will open this fall.
The journeyman quarterback believes he has plenty of football left, but that hasn’t stopped him from making moves now to set himself up for post-NFL career life.
“It’s super important for NFL players to be investing as much as possible,” said wealth advisor Carlos Dias Jr., who works with a host of clients, including NFL players. “[They] by far have the most wear and tear on their bodies for the least number of guarantees compared to other major sports.”
Taylor is a competitor who hates losing, but understands the risk whenever you’re investing. He says it’s important to stay true to the plan. “Similar to football, just not going into the tank when you’re losing,” he said. “It’s understanding that there was an opportunity, which didn’t work out, but continuing with the same approach.”
Another Taylor tenet: Never go into an investment “just being money hungry. I don’t think anything works when you go about business that.”
After spending his career with the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, and most recently the Houston Texans, Taylor is now in first season with the Giants.
He looks forward to seeing how living in the world’s financial capital can leverage his business portfolio in the offseason. One of his personal goals is to eventually generate more money off the field than he’s made on it. But as of this week, he’s putting the business calls on hold and will let his financial advisor and CPA lead those conversations for at least the next four months.
Entering his 12th NFL training camp, Taylor says that on the field, he looks forward to competing with the same chip on his shoulder that he’s had since he was drafted in the sixth round in 2011.
His top priority right now is putting the Giants, who’ve had five straight losing years, in the best position to win as he enters training camp behind Daniel Jones. When the season is over, he’ll get back to actively building his business empire.
“I’ve always been big on keeping the main thing the main thing, and that’s football,” Taylor said. “But at time same time, as you get older and comfortable, you realize that the sport isn’t going to be forever. So you have to find other interests.” | https://www.sportico.com/leagues/football/2022/tyrod-taylor-new-york-giants-fashion-entrepreneur-1234683864/ | 2022-07-29T06:57:11Z | https://www.sportico.com/leagues/football/2022/tyrod-taylor-new-york-giants-fashion-entrepreneur-1234683864/ | false | 1 |
Heather Willard / NewsBreak Denver / July 26, 2022
(Castle Rock, Colo.) The trial for a former Castle Rock Department of Water employee is scheduled for early next year when he will face charges of killing his sister and her boyfriend in February this year.
Casey Devol, 30, is charged with the murders of Jessica Mitchell, 32, and Bryan Todd Gray, 34. The couple was found dead of suspected gunshot wounds on Feb. 8 in a garage next to their home on Russellville Road, located in an unincorporated area of Douglas County called Franktown.
A nine-day trial will begin on Jan. 23 in the 18th Judicial District Court. However, court schedules remain flush with cases after court restrictions from COVID-19 resulted in delays across the state, which means the trial could be rescheduled.
Devol has a chance to enter a plea during a status conference scheduled for Sept. 23 at 3 p.m. He faces two felony charges of first-degree murder and felony animal cruelty. The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office also filed sentence enhancements regarding violent crime resulting in death and weapon use.
According to the arrest affidavit, someone looking for Gray found the victims. A court document says the house was ransacked and an officer said a pry bar was lying on Mitchell.
Surveillance footage also shows a white male with a long bushy beard and hair, associated with a dark colored truck, carrying handguns and a long gun into the garage. An individual tipped off officers that Devol and Mitchell had a contentious relationship, causing investigators to study his appearance and whereabouts. His vehicle was called an exact match and his appearance matched the video-taped suspect, according to the arrest affidavit. | https://original.newsbreak.com/@heather-willard-1592376/2681348043111-franktown-double-homicide-case-set-for-january-trial | 2022-07-29T06:58:11Z | https://original.newsbreak.com/@heather-willard-1592376/2681348043111-franktown-double-homicide-case-set-for-january-trial | false | 1 |
China’s Xi warns Biden over Taiwan, calls for cooperation
BEIJING (AP) — President Xi JInping warned against meddling in China’s dealings with Taiwan during a phone call with his U.S. counterpart, Joe Biden, that gave no indication of progress on trade, technology or other irritants, including Beijing’s opposition to a top American lawmaker’s possible visit to the island democracy, which the mainland claims as its own territory.
Xi also warned against splitting the world’s two biggest economies, according to a Chinese government summary of Thursday’s unusually lengthy, three-hour call. Businesspeople and economists warn such a change, brought on by Chinese industrial policy and U.S. curbs on technology exports, might hurt the global economy by slowing innovation and increasing costs.
Meanwhile, Xi and Biden are looking at the possibility of meeting in person, according to a U.S. official who declined to be identified further. Xi has been invited to Indonesia in November for a meeting of the Group of 20 major economies, making it a potential location for a face-to-face meeting.
The Chinese government gave no indication Xi and Biden discussed possible plans by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to visit Taiwan, which the ruling Communist Party says has no right to conduct foreign relations. But Xi rejected “interference by external forces” that might encourage Taiwan to try to make its decades-old de facto independence permanent.
“Resolutely safeguarding China’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity is the firm will of the more than 1.4 billion Chinese people,” said the statement. “Those who play with fire will perish by it.”
The tough language from Xi, who usually tries to appear to be above political disputes and makes blandly positive public comments, suggested Chinese leaders might believe Washington didn’t understand the seriousness of previous warnings about Taiwan.
Taiwan and China split in 1949 following a civil war that ended with a Communist victory on the mainland. They have no official relations but are linked by billions of dollars of trade and investment. Both sides say they are one country but disagree over which government is entitled to national leadership.
A Ministry of Defense spokesman said ahead of Thursday’s call that Washington “must not arrange for Pelosi to visit Taiwan.” He said the ruling party’s military wing, the People’s Liberation Army, would take “strong measures to thwart any external interference.”
Xi called on the United States to “honor the one-China principle,” the statement said, referring to Beijing’s position that the mainland and Taiwan are one country. The United States, by contrast, has a “one-China policy” that says Washington takes no position on the question but wants to see it resolved peacefully.
“Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one and the same China,” the statement said.
The statement cited Biden as saying the United States doesn’t support independence for Taiwan.
Coverage of the conversation in China’s entirely state-controlled media on Friday was limited to repeating government statements.
Pelosi has yet to confirm whether she will go to Taiwan, but if she does, the Democrat from California would be the highest-ranking elected American official to visit since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
Beijing criticized Gingrich for saying the United States would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack but did little else in response to his three-hour visit to the island.
Since then, China’s position on Taiwan has hardened as the mainland economy grew to become second-largest after the United States. The ruling party poured hundreds of billions of dollars into developing fighter jets and other high-tech weapons including “carrier killer” missiles that are thought to be intended to block the U.S. Navy from helping to defend the island.
The conflict over a possible Pelosi visit is more sensitive to Beijing in a year when Xi, who took power in 2012, is expected to try to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as party leader.
Xi, who wants to be seen as restoring China’s rightful historic role as a global leader, has promoted a more assertive policy abroad. The PLA has sent growing numbers of fighter planes and bombers to fly near Taiwan in an attempt to intimidate its democratically elected government.
The United States has no official relations with Taiwan but has extensive commercial ties and informal political connections. Washington is obliged by federal law to see that Taiwan has the means to defend itself.
Xi called for cooperation on reducing the risk of economic recession, coordinating macroeconomic policies, fighting COVID-19 and “de-escalation of regional hot spots,” according to the government statement.
He also warned against decoupling, or separating, the U.S. and Chinese economies for strategic reasons.
Businesspeople and industry analysts have warned global industries might be split into separate markets with incompatible products due to China’s pressure on its own companies to develop their own technology standards and U.S. restrictions on Chinese access to technology that Washington see as a security risk. That might slow innovation and increase costs.
“Attempts at decoupling or severing supply chains in defiance of underlying laws would not help boost the U.S. economy,” the statement said. “They would only make the world economy more vulnerable.”

Manchester City's new signing Erling Haaland is "scary" in front of goal, team mate Phil Foden said, backing the Norwegian striker to quickly adapt to life in England and become a key cog in the Premier League champions' set-up.
Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract last month, showed a glimpse of his goalscoring prowess with a poacher's finish in a 1-0 pre-season win over Bayern Munich earlier this week.
The 22-year-old's signing also brought an end to City's hunt to replace their all-time top scorer Sergio Aguero after the Argentine striker moved to Barcelona on a free transfer last year.
"He's a great addition to the team, makes everyone laugh and is humble which is important when you come to a team," Foden told Sky Sports on Thursday. "He's hungry to achieve things with us which can only mean good things.
"In front of goal he's scary. He's coming to a complete different league (with) much faster
football, so it might take him a little (time) to get used to, but I'm sure when he's in his flow he's going to be unstoppable.
"He is very similar to Aguero, Haaland's got all types of finishes as well. If we can get him the ball in the right areas he is going to be really important for us this year."
City, who face FA Cup holders Liverpool in the Community Shield on Saturday, begin their Premier League title defence with a trip to West Ham United on Aug. 7. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/epl/top-stories/man-citys-phil-foden-backs-erling-haaland-to-deliver-in-premier-league/articleshow/93200946.cms | 2022-07-29T07:01:10Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/football/epl/top-stories/man-citys-phil-foden-backs-erling-haaland-to-deliver-in-premier-league/articleshow/93200946.cms | true | 4 |

It also enhances the company's ability to respond more expertly to growing demand for cybersecure IoT solutions in modules and cellular connectivity, thanks to leading technologies from Thales.
Paolo Dal Pino, Telit's CEO, remarked: "Innovation, scale and efficient IoT solutions are key for success. This transaction with Thales is arguably the most impactful one for Telit competitiveness. While it will boost our ability to address customer needs more precisely from a richer portfolio, it will also enable us to deliver all new offerings derived from the experience, expertise, and the DNA of two companies that have made security and quality part of their brand promise from the very beginning."
Philippe Vallée, Thales's EVP Digital Identity and Security, added: "The Thales and Telit combination brings together complementary strengths. The business will provide a unique value proposition in a highly competitive global IoT market and will allow Thales to focus its investments on its three core activities in aerospace, defence and security and digital identity and security. The new combination will rely on a unique set of expertise brought by Thales and Telit employees. It will also benefit from leveraging both companies' strong and complementary product portfolio and Thales's experience in cellular connectivity."
Thales' cellular IoT module business, with approximately 550 employees across 23 countries, services many of the world's top brands. It generated sales of more than €300 million in 2021. With the transaction expected to close in Q4 2022, subject to entering a binding share transfer agreement, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions, Thales becomes a shareholder in Telit Cinterion, controlled by asset manager DBAY Advisors and led by Telit CEO Paolo Dal Pino.
Thales' cellular IoT products business and Telit's customers and partners will continue to receive the outstanding supply, support, and service to which they have been accustomed. All relevant parties will receive regular updates throughout the transaction, upon closing and ensuing integration periods.
To sharpen focus on Industrial IoT, Telit Cinterion plans to spin off and manage separately the automotive IoT unit after closing.
Deutsche Bank acted as exclusive financial advisor to Thales, and Rothschild & Co as exclusive financial advisor to Telit, DBAY Advisors.

In a short amount of time, ISOxo has proven himself to be one of the most exciting and innovative rising artists in dance music. From his debut Nightrealm EP to high-octane (and not to mention consistently sold-out) tour performances, we’ve been super impressed with the young talent’s creative drive and vision.

As you’ll see below, we’re treated to an insanely stacked curated lineup featuring RTT favorites such as Mr. Carmack, Flosstradamus, Jawns, Frosttop, + many more.

Major Dem-Run City's Police Chief Begging for the Violence to Stop
After a long week of constant violence, the Portland, Oregon, police chief took to Twitter with what amounted to a plea to criminals in the community to stop their behavior.
“The violence shown last night toward officers and over the weekend is shocking and reprehensible. In the last four days, officers have been shot at, had suspects fight with them, run over by a vehicle and another almost run over,” Chief of Portland Police Chuck Lovell posted to Twitter on Tuesday.
Several violent acts overwhelmed the city’s police department last week, Fox News reported.
One such incident involved a suspect hitting two police cruisers with his truck and almost running over a cop. The suspect, who was confronted by police for reports of gunshots nearby, escaped in his vehicle.
A separate incident saw an officer get hit by a vehicle during a stolen vehicle investigation. The officer was rushed to the hospital for their wounds, according to KGW-TV.
Portland cops were also involved in an altercation with a domestic violence suspect, resulting in the criminal’s death after he pulled out a gun.
Lovell continued his Twitter post by trying to remind the city — including its criminals — that his officers “deserve to go home at night” alive. Law-abiding citizens don’t need to be told that.
“Officers are answering 911 emergency calls trying to help people,” Lovell wrote on Twitter. “They deserve to go home at night to their loved ones. They deserve and need the community’s support as they continue to help make a difference in this city.”
Officers are answering 911 emergency calls trying to help people. They deserve to go home at night to their loved ones. They deserve and need the community’s support as they continue to help make a difference in this city.
— Chief Chuck Lovell (@ChiefCLovell) July 26, 2022
Rank-and-file members of the department aren’t happy either.
“It’s beginning to get frustrating for the officers and hopefully members of the community are getting frustrated, as well,” Portland police Officer Derek Carmon told KGW.
Crime in the liberal city has gotten worse over the past two years, especially after the death of George Floyd in May 2020. Because of this, Portland has seen its fair share of “defund the police” and other social justice movements.
The coronavirus pandemic did not help matters either as citizens were told by the federal and state governments to coop up inside their homes for several weeks.
Despite the City Council’s attempt to appease activists by cutting funding for the Portland Police Bureau in 2020, the city did not see a decrease in violence.
In fact, continued violence forced the city council to add $5.2 million worth of funds back into the police department in November 2021, PBS reported.
Just a month ago, the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling led riotous protesters to damage local businesses.
Last week’s incidents only added to this ongoing issue for the Oregonian city.

COUNCIL WANT YOUR VIEWS: Residents are being invited to share their views in a bit to provide a better service

The responses will be used to design the service for procurement next year ahead of the council’s contract ending in May 2025.
Cllr Amy Allen, executive member for recycling and waste management, said: “The views of our residents are crucial in helping us shape the best services possible for our communities, and for our planet.
“We know how important our waste, recycling and street cleansing services are to people, which is why we want to understand what’s working now and what could be improved for the future. I look forward to hearing everyone’s views in the coming weeks.”

Vladimir Putin news: World ‘dangerously close’ to nuclear war amid chilling threats to the West from Russia & China
- Will there be World War 3?
- Will the UK go to war?
- Help support Ukraine by donating your clothes
THE world is "dangerously close" to nuclear war amid threats from Russia & its allies, a top UK security chief has warned.
British national security adviser Sir Stephen Lovegrove made the chilling prediction amid fears China and Russia are upgrading weapons of mass destruction.
And he said the war in Ukraine, coupled with the secretive regime enforced by Putin in both Moscow and Li Xiping Beijing, means we are “more likely to see ‘escalation wormholes’ — sudden, unpredictable failures in the fabric of deterrence causing rapid escalation to strategic conflict”.
Speaking in Washington DC at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, he said nuclear war was averted during the Cold War only because the Soviet Union and Nato were able to speak to each other with a mutual understanding which he said does not exist today.
It comes as Russia has lost at least 75,000 troops to death or injury during the war in Ukraine, the US claims.
In a massive blow for Vladimir Putin, reports claim that half the number of troops committed to the war by Russia are now casualties.
According to a report from the the Telegraph, more than half of the original 150,000 troops sent to Ukraine are now out of action.

“I am using every opportunity to speak about Ukraine and that was a massive opportunity. Millions read Vogue and speaking to them directly was my duty,” Zelenska said.
“In peaceful life, I’m not used to attention. Everyone is fighting on a front line and it’s work and I have to do that work.”
She went on to highlight the importance of normality for Ukrainians in areas free of Russian troops.
“Even soldiers are saying to their friends to go and have a coffee, see a film, enjoy the peace that you have. We are here on the front line to give that peace for you. It’s a very delicate balance.”

The holiday honours Ukraine’s position as a free and independent country.

Following his historic defeat of Anthony Joshua last year, the road for Oleksandr Usyk seemed clear, keep boxing and winning titles.
But, when Putin’s forces invaded Ukraine, the boxer hung up his gloves, and put on his army fatigues.
In doing so, he was defending his country and seeking revenge for the Russians annexing his hometown of Simferopol in 2014.
Throughout the conflict, Usyk has been a vocal supporter of Ukraine, and has even called on Putin to enter peace talks.
“Good morning to everybody. My name is Oleksandr Usyk. I’d like to speak to the people of Russia.
“If we consider ourselves as brothers, Orthodox ones, do not send your children to our country, do not fight with us.
“Also I’m addressing this to the President, Vladimir Putin. You can stop this war.
“Please just sit down and negotiate it with us without claims.
“Our kids, wives, grannies are hiding in the basements. We are here in our own country, we cannot do it any other way.
“We are defending. Stop this war, stop it. No War.”
Russian losses as of July 28
Russian losses surpassed 40,000 this week, according to the Kyiv Independent.

Russia Today loses court fight
State-controlled media outlet Russia Today on Wednesday lost its court fight against a European Union ban imposed in March over alleged disinformation, prompting the Kremlin to warn of retaliatory measures against Western media.
Europe’s second highest court upheld the EU decision, taken after Brussels accused Russia Today of systematic disinformation over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“The Grand Chamber of the General Court dismisses RT France’s application for annulment of acts of the Council, adopted following the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, temporarily prohibiting that organisation from broadcasting content,” the Luxembourg-based General Court said.

Premier League international arrested for rape is no longer being investigated for one of the three ‘sex attacks’
A PREMIER League footballer arrested for rape is no longer being investigated for one of three alleged attacks.
The international star, 29, is still under investigation for two of the alleged sex crimes against two women.
He was arrested earlier this month when six police cars swooped on his gated North London address.
The player, due to play in the World Cup in Qatar in November, was re-arrested the next day for two more attacks against a different woman. A probe into one of those has been dropped.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "On 4 July, an allegation of rape of a woman in her 20s was reported to police. It was reported the alleged rape happened in June 2022.
"On 4 July, a 29-year-old man was arrested at an address in Barnet on suspicion of rape and taken into custody.
"While in custody, he was further arrested on suspicion of two incidents of rape that were alleged to have been committed in April and June of 2021 against a different woman in her 20s.
"No further action will be taken in relation to the offence in June 2021 but the investigation into the remaining offences is ongoing.
"The main was initially bailed until a date in August but his bail has since been extended to a date in early October."
The footballer, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was quizzed for at least 15 hours over an alleged attack against the first woman, in her 20s.

She claimed she was raped during a sunshine break in the Mediterranean last month.
The alleged victim fled her five-star resort and flew home to her friends and family.
She spoke to police on her return to the UK and attended a police station to make a full statement.
She showed detectives photos that she claimed highlighted bruising on her body after the alleged attack.
Just hours later there was a huge police presence at the star's mansion before he was handcuffed.
Fellow footballers were said to be stunned by the claims, which swept Premier League stars' WhatsApp groups. | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9172864/premier-league-international-rape-probe/ | 2022-07-29T07:38:28Z | https://www.thesun.ie/sport/football/9172864/premier-league-international-rape-probe/ | false | 6 |

Russia-Ukraine war: Kyiv steps up offensive as first grain shipment could leave Black Sea today
- Liz Truss vows to do ‘what is right and necessary on Ukraine’
- Kherson’s partisans tell the Russians: ‘Can’t leave? Himars will help you’
- ‘Half of Russian troops’ sent into Ukraine have been killed or injured
- William Nattrass: Is Viktor Orban right about the Ukraine war?
- Listen to the latest episode of our daily Ukraine podcast
Ukraine on Thursday stepped up its drive to retake Russian-controlled southern Ukraine by trying to bomb and isolate Russian troops in hard-to-resupply areas.
President Volodymyr Zelensky once again signalled that Ukrainians would not be intimidated by the Russian invasion in an address to his people on Thursday night.
"We shall do everything to ensure no one anywhere in the world remains indifferent to this terrible war that Russia has unleashed on our country and against the very notion of freedom," Mr Zelensky said.
Russia and Ukraine struck a deal last week to unblock grain exports from Black Sea ports, but UN aid chief Martin Griffiths said "crucial" details for the safe passage of vessels were still being worked out.
Mr Griffiths was hopeful the first shipment of grain from a Ukrainian Black Sea port could take place as early as Friday.
Allowing safe passage for grain shipments from Ukrainian ports should ease shortages that have left tens of millions of people around the world facing soaring food prices and hunger.

Ukrainian Azovstal fighters 'killed by Ukrainian shelling' - separatists
Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine say that at least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war captured during the fighting for Mariupol have been killed by Ukrainian shelling.
Daniil Bezsonov, a spokesman for the Russia-backed separatists in the Donetsk region, said that at least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed and 130 were injured Friday when Ukrainian shelling hit a prison in the town of Olenivka.
The Ukrainian troops were taken prisoner after the fierce fighting for Ukraine's Azov Sea port of Mariupol, where they holed up at the giant Azovstal steel mill for months.
It has not been possible to independently verify the separatists claims.
'I am a freedom fighter who will work tirelessly to defeat Putin'
The British people can trust me to do what is right and necessary on Ukraine, and to defend our freedom at home and abroad, says Conservative leadership candidate Liz Truss, in a column for the Telegraph.
The Ukrainian people are fighting heroically to defend more than just their homeland. They are fighting in part for sovereignty and freedom, challenging authoritarians who would trample it underfoot. Relenting now would send a terrible message to enemies of self-determination and democracy. The United Kingdom has stood side-by-side with Ukraine in its darkest hour, and as prime minister, I will make sure we remain steadfast in our support.
In the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion, I worked with Boris Johnson to rally our Nato allies in providing weapons, aid and diplomatic support to Ukraine. I led our G7 partners in targeting Russia with the toughest sanctions ever on a major economy. I dispatched war crimes experts to investigate the crimes committed by Putin’s army and supported the victims of his callous weaponisation of food.
I am the person who can be trusted to work relentlessly to ensure a Ukrainian victory and Russia’s strategic defeat, however long it takes. As prime minister, I will be Ukraine’s greatest friend, and will be completely committed to ensuring Volodymyr Zelensky prevails and Vladimir Putin fails.

UK defence spending 'declining' - Ben Wallace
Defence spending is declining, and by 2026 the UK would go from being the leader in Europe to down to about eighth, Ben Wallace has said.
The Defence Secretary was questioned on Sky News about Liz Truss' pledge to increase defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP, which is going to cost between £20 and 25 billion.
Mr Wallace and Ms Truss supporter said: "The defence spending increase, that is by 2030. That is saying that we need to grow the defence budget to be on a 3pc of GDP by 2030.
"We are currently declining. We are forecast around 2026 to go below 2pc of GDP, taking us from being the leader in Europe to down to about eighth in European defence spending, which would not be a sign of British leadership and not allow us to keep ourselves and indeed our allies safe."
He added: "On that commitment, the funding would really start rising in 2025. So, there would be time to deal with the cost-of-living crisis that we have now and to use, what her commitments currently are, to address the issues."
Russia is failing in many areas of Ukraine war - Ben Wallace
Russia is failing in "many areas" in its war in Ukraine and President Vladimir Putin might seek to change strategy again, Ben Wallace has said.
"The Russians are failing at the moment on the ground in many areas ... Putin's plan A, B, and C has failed and he may look to plan D," Mr Wallace told Sky News.
MoD comments on Wagner's likely front-line role
Russian private military firm Wagner has likely been allocated responsibility for specific sectors of the front line in eastern Ukraine, possibly as Russia is facing a major shortage of combat infantry, Britain's Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence update on Friday.
"This is a significant change from the previous employment of the group since 2015, when it typically undertook missions distinct from overt, large-scale regular Russian military activity," MoD said in a regular intelligence bulletin on Twitter.
It also said that Wagner's forces are highly unlikely to be sufficient to make a significant difference in the trajectory of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Fears of 'second phase of ground operations'
More than 10 Russian missiles also hit the Chernihiv region northeast of Kyiv, regional Governor Vyacheslav Chausov told Ukrainian TV. Like Kyiv, Chernihiv had not been targeted for weeks.
"This was Russia offering greetings on Ukraine’s Day of State Sovereignty," he said, adding there were concerns about a "second phase of ground operations by the enemy".
The North district command of the Ukrainian armed forces said more than 20 missiles had been fired at the Chernihiv region bordering Russia from a base in Belarus – Russia's ally.
In the south, Ukraine said its planes struck five Russian strongholds around the city of Kherson and another nearby city, where it is focusing its biggest counter-offensive since Russia's invasion began.
Attack shatters sense of normalcy in Kyiv
Fifteen people were injured when missiles hit military installations in the Vyshhorod district on the edge of the Ukrainian capital on Thursday, Kyiv regional Governor Oleksiy Kuleba said.
Air-raid sirens blared as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky addressed parliament alongside visiting Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda, as Ukraine marked its Day of Ukrainian Statehood with a public holiday for the first time on Thursday.
"It doesn’t matter with what Russia threatens us; whether it’s air-raid sirens or something else; what is important is that we make other countries fall in love with our Ukrainian firmness," Mr Zelensky said.
The attack shattered the sense of normalcy that has returned to life in Kyiv since Russian forces abandoned attempts to capture the city in the first weeks of the war, in the face of fierce Ukrainian resistance.

Truss: I'll call Zelensky first
Liz Truss on Thursday night described herself as a “freedom fighter” on Ukraine, telling Conservative Party members they could trust her to do all she can to ensure Vladimir Putin is defeated, Daniel Martin writes.
The Foreign Secretary said she would make Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, the first foreign leader she calls if she is chosen as the next prime minister, pledging to follow in Boris Johnson’s footsteps and be Kyiv’s “greatest friend”.
Ms Truss said she would urge G7 nations to provide more lethal and humanitarian aid to Ukraine and “commit completely to ensuring Putin fails and suffers a strategic defeat, and that Russia is constrained in the future”.
She also pledged to rewrite the integrated defence and security review to focus on threats from Russia and an “increasingly assertive” China, which will include a promise to spend three per cent of GDP on defence by 2030.

Kherson residents fear major urban battle
Civilians have begun to leave Kherson amid fears of a major urban battle between the occupying Russian garrison and an approaching Ukrainian counter-offensive, Verity Bowman and Roland Oliphant write.
The exodus came as posters of the US-supplied Himars weapons system appeared on the city’s streets, urging Russian soldiers to leave.
“No one in Kherson feels safe,” said Alexander Smurikov, a 22-year-old who left with his mother and younger sisters on Wednesday.
“There was a base 500 metres from my home. [Russian soldiers] would walk around, smoke our cigarettes and spit. The Russians march like it is their land, but I bet it will not be much longer. Ukraine is coming back.
“I am exhausted and scared for my Dad, he stayed behind at our home. There is no connection with him and my grandparents. It is dangerous to drive through Ukraine, but we had to leave before the fighting got closer.”

LG Electronics posts 12 per cent drop in profit on weaker demand
Its operating income came in at 792 billion won $609 million for the April-June quarter, falling short of analysts' expectations surveyed by Yonhap Infomax, the financial data firm of Yonhap News Agency.
Seoul: LG Electronics on Friday said its second -quarter operating profit decreased 12 per cent (on-year) amid rampant inflation that hurt consumer demand for TVs and other home appliances.
Its operating income came in at 792 billion won $609 million for the April-June quarter, falling short of analysts' expectations surveyed by Yonhap Infomax, the financial data firm of Yonhap News Agency.
Revenue increased 15 per cent from the year-ago quarter to 19.5 trillion won.
LG said its TV business shrank for the three months ending in June, as marketing costs rose and people spent less time at home.
While overall consumer demand declined, the company said premium home appliances were still in high demand, especially in North America, and continued to deliver double-digit growth.
The company had earlier estimated decrease in its second-quarter operating profit on weaker demand for TV and home appliances amid rising inflation and raw material costs.
Analysts suggested less upbeat earnings for LG for the remaining year, as pandemic-driven pent-up demand for TV has lost steam and rate increases in major economies to control inflation weakened consumer-spending power.
Also, high shipping costs amid supply chain disruptions are hurting the company's bottom line.
LG's electric vehicle (EV) components business has greatly improved performance on growing demand from customers, which include Mercedes-Benz AG and General Motors, and increased profitability.
LG secured $6.1 billion worth of new orders for electric vehicle (EV) parts and solutions in the first half.
The renewable purchase obligation (RPO) specified by the union power ministry for the last three financial years was 17.5 per cent in FY20, 19 per cent in FY21, and 21 per cent in FY22. However, compliance by state distribution companies has been very low.
While contracts for oilfields awarded since 1999 gave producers the freedom to sell oil, the government fixed buyers for crude produced from older fields, such as Mumbai High of ONGC and Ravva of Vedanta. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/lg-electronics-posts-12-per-cent-drop-in-profit-on-weaker-demand/93205355 | 2022-07-29T08:12:33Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/power/lg-electronics-posts-12-per-cent-drop-in-profit-on-weaker-demand/93205355 | false | 3 |
Sports News Roundup: Golf-Donald 'would love' to be named Team Europe's Ryder Cup captain; Soccer-Liverpool to play friendly after first Premier League match and more

Games-Birmingham opening ceremony breathes life into doomed Games
A Commonwealth Games that once appeared doomed exploded into life with a dazzling opening ceremony on Thursday that put a modern spin on a sporting event often seen as a relic of the British Empire's colonial past. Ten years after the 2012 London Olympics it was Birmingham's moment in the spotlight, although a smaller one, as Prince Charles, reading a message on behalf of The Queen contained in a Baton that had travelled through all 72 nations and regions of the Commonwealth, declared the Games open.
ATP roundup: Carlos Alcaraz begins title defense in Croatia
No. 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz of Spain made quick work of Slovakia's Norbert Gombos, winning 6-2, 6-3 in the second round of the Croatia Open Umag on Thursday in Umag, Croatia. The 19-year-old won his maiden ATP title at Umag last year. Earlier this week, he became the youngest player to earn a top-five ATP Tour ranking since countryman Rafael Nadal.
MLB roundup: Trey Mancini stars in possible O's home finale
Jordan Lyles pitched into the sixth inning and Trey Mancini hit an inside-the-park home run in what might have been his last home game with the Orioles, a 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday afternoon. With one out, one on and the Orioles leading 1-0 in the eighth, Tampa Bay right-fielder Josh Lowe couldn't find Mancini's fly ball in the sun. The ball hit him and rolled into the right-field corner. Austin Hays scored from second, and Mancini beat the relay throw home for his first career inside-the-park homer.
Soccer-Man City's Foden backs Haaland to deliver in Premier League
Manchester City's new signing Erling Haaland is "scary" in front of goal, team mate Phil Foden said, backing the Norwegian striker to quickly adapt to life in England and become a key cog in the Premier League champions' set-up. Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract last month, showed a glimpse of his goalscoring prowess with a poacher's finish in a 1-0 pre-season win over Bayern Munich earlier this week.
Soccer-Swapping tips with De Gea helped improve performances, says Earps
England's Mary Earps said swapping tips with fellow Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea helped lift her performances to a new level at the European Championship as the Lionesses reached their first major final in over a decade. Earps contributed a number of early saves to keep Sweden at bay in the semi-final before Sarina Wiegman's side eventually cruised to a 4-0 victory in Sheffield and set up a showdown with old rivals Germany at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
Golf-Donald 'would love' to be named Team Europe's Ryder Cup captain
Former world number one Luke Donald said he "would love" to be named captain of Team Europe for the 2023 Ryder Cup, adding that he would see it through unlike Henrik Stenson, who was stripped of the captaincy after joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series. Stenson was removed from the role of captain last week, hours before the Swede announced that he was joining the lucrative Saudi-backed series.
Soccer-Liverpool to play friendly after first Premier League match
Liverpool will play a friendly one day after their Premier League opener at Fulham next weekend, manager Juergen Klopp said, adding that his players need more match practice to cope with a packed schedule in the 2022-23 season. Liverpool, who have played Manchester United, Crystal Palace, RB Leipzig and Salzburg during pre-season, clash with Manchester City in the Community Shield at Leicester's King Power Stadium on Saturday.
No deal yet with U.S. on Griner swap for arms dealer Bout, Russia says
Russia said on Thursday there was no deal yet with the United States on swapping detained U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner and a former Marine for an imprisoned Russian called by American prosecutors one of the world's most prolific arms dealers. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday the United States has made a "substantial offer" to Russia to release American citizens held in Russia. A source said that Washington was willing to exchange convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout, known as the "Merchant of Death."
Tennis-Kyrgios' Australian court date pushed back by three weeks

Motor racing-Vettel will leave F1 with respect and affection
Sebastian Vettel's greatest success is a distant memory but the four times world champion will leave Formula One at the end of this year with more fans than he had in his heyday. Vettel won his last title with Red Bull almost a decade ago while it has been nearly three years since the 35-year-old German, then at Ferrari, last won a race.

Terrorists on Thursday night, reportedly stormed an Army checkpoint around Zuma Rock, the border between FCT and Niger State, killing soldiers in a shootout that ensued.
The terrorists arrived Zuma Rock on the axis of Madalla and Suleija along the Abuja-Kaduna highway, at about 8.30p.m., and took the soldiers by surprise, opening fire from different angles.
Reports said the terrorists later abandoned their mission of moving into Abuja and retreated towards Kaduna axis.
While retreating, the bandits who were said to be in several motorbikes, reportedly attacked some villages and shops in Madalla and carried foodstuff on their motorbikes before bolting.
Following the retreat of the terrorists, more troops and equipment from the Army base in Zuma Barracks were deployed for reinforcement to the scene.
Another source said a joint security operatives team were going on patrol around the axis when sounds of gunshot erupted and they moved towards the scene only to discover that it was an ongoing battle between soldiers and bandits.
The source said the security operatives immediately radioed the Army Barracks at Zuma Rock, resulting in the deployment of reinforcement to the scene.
The fighting reportedly caused severe traffic jam, as motorists remained trapped on the Abuja-Kaduna Highway.
Commuter Laments As Armed Men Attack Abuja
A video below shows commuter calling for help following the attack.
The attack comes barely six days after terrorists carried out an ambushed a patrol team of presidential guards team along the Bwari-Kubwa Road resulting in the death of six soldiers and officers following intelligence report that they were planning to attack the Nigerian Law School in Bwari.
The attack and other kidnapping incidents have resulted in heightened tension in the FCT, with schools closed.
The management of Federal Government College, Kwali, asked parents to evacuate their children from the school as a result of an attack by bandits in a neighbouring community 24 hours earlier.
Recall that the terrorists began the attacks by invading Kuje Prison in Abuja with bombs on July 5, killing an NSCDC officer, blowing open the gates and freeing over 800 inmates including 66 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists commanders and members.
The terrorists had also threatened to abduct President Muhammadu Buhari and the governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai. | https://hallmarknews.com/again-terrorists-attack-military-checkpoint-in-abuja-soldiers-feared-dead/ | 2022-07-29T08:13:21Z | https://hallmarknews.com/again-terrorists-attack-military-checkpoint-in-abuja-soldiers-feared-dead/ | true | 1 |

Sao Paulo
Tricolor Paulista has received polls by some of its athletes
O Sao Paulo is being one of the teams that is moving the most in the transfer market. The board hired Marcos Guilherme and Giuliano Galoppo, in addition to looking for more athletes, mainly for the defensive system. But, in addition to the search for reinforcements, some athletes are being negotiated.
Midfielder Gabriel Sara was sold to Norwich for around 11 million euros. Shortly before, Tiago Volpi and Marquinhos also had their departures confirmed. Emiliano Rigoni and Jonas Toró are very close to being traded to Austin FC and Panathinaikos, respectively. A defender revealed in Cotia draws the attention of Europe.
As informed by Bolavip Brasil in recent days, Benfica and Porto are interested in hiring defender Luizão. The youngster has a contract with Tricolor Paulista only until the beginning of February and was raised to the professional team with the “promise” of renewal.
So far, Benfica and Porto have only been polling and interested in Luizão. The idea would be to take advantage of the market opportunity (contract until the beginning of 2023), but the Portuguese were warned that shirt 32 has almost certain renewal. In this way, the player must sign his renewal until 2025 in the next few days. The defender is happy and wants the renewal. | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/29/until-2025-after-the-sale-of-sara-sao-paulo-anticipates-european-harassment-and-is-close-to-renewing-with-made-in-cotia/ | 2022-07-29T08:21:17Z | https://thegoaspotlight.com/2022/07/29/until-2025-after-the-sale-of-sara-sao-paulo-anticipates-european-harassment-and-is-close-to-renewing-with-made-in-cotia/ | false | 2 |

Highland Lakes Crisis Network prayer walk July 30
Take a prayer walk through three Marble Falls locations related to a variety of Highland Lakes Crisis Network projects from 8:30-10 a.m. Saturday, July 30.
“It’s an opportunity for a lot of people who have already been praying — some for a number of years — about all the projects and the way the churches are mobilizing and giving back to the community,” said Crisis Network President Kevin Naumann. “It’s an opportunity to walk the grounds and see what we’ve been talking about and what we’ve been building and what everyone has been contributing to.”
The walk begins at the Crisis Network’s warehouse at 800 Industrial. Participants will be given a map and prayer points to use as they inspect the facility.
From there, the walk becomes a self-guided tour of two other locations.
The second stop is at 700 Avenue T, which is the location of the HLCN office, Seventh Mountain Clothing and More, a storage facility, and Children Without Placement. The last organization provides safe and clean living quarters for foster children waiting for placement in a home. Seventh Mountain community closet gives free clothing and other resources to those in need.
Stop three is the Transformational Living project at 1608 Fifth St.
“This is a great opportunity to see our model apartment and all the work that is going on at the Transformational Living project,” Naumann said.
Someone will be at each location to answer questions and hand out prayer points, Naumann said.
“This is another way to bless the area we are trying to minister to people in,” Naumann said. “We’ve done individual prayers and prayed at specific locations, but nothing like this. This is a way people can visualize and mobilize and see all the work that is going on.” | https://www.dailytrib.com/2022/07/28/highland-lakes-crisis-network-prayer-walk-july-30/ | 2022-07-29T08:29:30Z | https://www.dailytrib.com/2022/07/28/highland-lakes-crisis-network-prayer-walk-july-30/ | false | 1 |

First Quantum opens Africa’s ‘largest’ nickel mine in Zambia
The state broadcaster ZNBC quoted FQM chief executive Tristan Pascal as saying that the mine is projected to produce 10 000 tonnes of nickel per year, making it the ‘highest’ producer of nickel in Africa.
He said the increase in demand over the past years had influenced the company to mine nickel.
The $250 million nickel mine, which was launched by Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema is expected to create more than 700 new jobs.
He said the nickel mine will also provide material for renewable energy to the African continent.
The use of nickel in batteries provide higher energy density and greater storage capacity at a lower cost.
Enterprise is a sediment-hosted nickel-sulphide deposit with a total measured and indicated resource of 40 million tonnes of ore containing 431,000 tonnes of nickel.
A nickel process plant completed in 2016, is designed to produce 28,000 tonnes of nickel in concentrate and this can be increased to 60,000 tonnes.
The plant is integrated with FQM’s Sentinel copper circuit, which allows it to produce additional copper concentrate when not producing nickel.
The Enterprise nickel mine is located 12km away from the Sentinel copper mine.

- Key Financial Highlights
1.1 Paratus
In the first quarter ending March 31, 2022, Paratus generated $54 million in revenue and $29 million in EBITDA[1]. As a result of the pre-packaged Chapter 11 restructuring on January 20, 2022, comparisons of revenue and EBITDA to the preceding quarter are not meaningful.

During the same period, Paratus' wholly owned subsidiary SeaMex Holdings, Ltd. ("SeaMex") and its subsidiaries ("SeaMex Group") generated $54 million in revenue and $30 million in EBITDA. Compared to the preceding quarter, revenue remained unchanged, and EBITDA decreased by 3.2%.[2] For the first quarter ending March 31, 2022, SeaMex Group earned an average contractual rate of $115 thousand per day with $705 million in contract backlog.

Seabras UK Limited, (a wholly owned subsidiary of Paratus) holds a 50% equity interest in its associated company and its subsidiaries ("Seabras JV").

Compared to the preceding quarter, revenue and EBITDA decreased by 3.1% and 23.2%, respectively.

SeaMex has subsequently entered into a remarketing process to monetize the PEMEX Notes facilitated and managed by Citigroup.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Spirits maker Beam Suntory is investing $400 million to expand a bourbon distillery in central Kentucky and will create 50 full-time jobs, Gov. Andy Beshear announced.
The expansion is at James B. Beam Distilling Co.'s Booker Noe Distillery in Boston in Nelson County, Beshear's office said Thursday.

James B. Beam Distilling Co. is based in Clermont. Beam Suntory was formed in 2014 after Japan-based Suntory Holdings acquired the company.

South African rand firms as dollar weakens on U.S. growth worries
July 29 (Reuters) - South Africa's rand firmed against the dollar in early trade on Friday, as the safe-haven currency weakened on signs that U.S. growth was slowing.
At 0620 GMT, the rand ZAR=D3 traded at 16.4625 against the dollar, 0.15% stronger than its previous close.
The dollar index =USD, which tracks the greenback against six other major currencies, was last down at 105.76, its lowest since July 5.
The U.S. economy unexpectedly contracted last quarter, data on Thursday showed, a day after the Federal Reserve noted a cooling economy could slow interest rate hikes.
On the local economic data front, private sector credit in South Africa rose by 7.53% year on year in June, according to the central bank.
Investors in South Africa will also be looking closely at June budget balance ZABUDM=ECI and trade balance ZATBAL=ECI figures that are due later in the day at 1200 GMT for clues on the health of the local economy.
The government's benchmark 2030 bond ZAR2030= rose in early deals, with the yield down 5.5 basis points to 10.370%.

Chip maker Intel reported a surprisingly steep decline in second-quarter revenue of $15.3 billion, down 22% from the previous year.
Intel’s Client Computing and Datacenter and AI Groups were largely impacted by continued adverse market conditions; Network and Edge Group and Mobileye achieved record quarterly revenue.
The company reported a net loss of $454 million in the quarter. In the second quarter, the company generated $0.8 billion in cash from operations and paid dividends of $1.5 billion.
“This quarter’s results were below the standards we have set for the company and our shareholders. We must and will do better. The sudden and rapid decline in economic activity was the largest driver, but the shortfall also reflects our own execution issues,” said Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO. “We are being responsive to changing business conditions, working closely with our customers while remaining laser-focused on our strategy and long-term opportunities. We are embracing this challenging environment to accelerate our transformation.”
“We are taking necessary actions to manage through the current environment, including accelerating the deployment of our smart capital strategy, while reiterating our prior full-year adjusted free cash flow guidance and returning gross margins to our target range by the fourth quarter,” said David Zinsner, Intel CFO. “We remain fully committed to our business strategy, the long-term financial model communicated at our investor meeting and a strong and growing dividend.”
As of July 2022, Intel said it has 128,200 employees compared to 113,700 employees a year ago. The company has $27 billion in cash and short-term investments at the end of the second quarter. | http://svdaily.com/2022/07/29/intel-sees-revenue-decline-22/ | 2022-07-29T08:51:51Z | http://svdaily.com/2022/07/29/intel-sees-revenue-decline-22/ | true | 1 |
"Again we are trying to come up with solutions to fix a problem that the last council created by just not doing things in the right way."
Dubbo Regional Council mayor Mathew Dickerson became aware recently that the $4.95 million cross city pipeline project isn't feasible.
Advertisement
The pipeline was to bring recycled water from the Dubbo Sewage Treatment Plant into the city to replace non-potable groundwater used for irrigation, and in turn take the groundwater to the John Gilbert Water Treatment Plant.
"They were going to take effluent from the water from the sewerage treatment plant and across to the water treatment plant to use that water on our sporting fields, so we can save our potable water," Cr Dickerson said to the Daily Liberal.
"Turns out the pipelines finished now and when the new council and new CEO came along and said let's get the water that we're taking there, the DPE [Department of Planning and Environment] said 'you can't use that water'."
Cr Dickerson said when you are an authority building a multi million dollar pipeline you need to go through all the processes.
"You probably need to make sure you've gone and checked everything along the way, what council didn't do was get permission from the DPE to use the treated effluent on the sporting fields," he said.
The previous council didn't get permission from the DPE to put that treated effluent in the pipeline before they built it and Cr Dickerson said they shouldn't be surprised now that they can't do it.
"That disregard for the rules, that disregard for the process and doing things correctly has wasted state government money," he said.
The mayor apologised profusely to the Dubbo community about the error.
"I've said it before and unfortunately I might have to say it a few more times but I apologise to the community on behalf of council for these things that are occurring; the lack of fluoride in the water, the waste of money, the boil water alert," he said.
"It's a bit embarrassing but all we can do is fix the problem going forward."
Cr Dickerson said of all the things the previous council has left them with, not having fluoride in the water was number one but wasting public money on this project was a very close number two.
"This is state government money but it was a grant we received so it is still public money," he said.
"So the new council has been handed the pipeline, the pipeline is all done, it is all finished, the pipes are in the ground and we can't use them."
The DPE has said the effluent can't be put in the pipeline because it would mean putting treated effluent over sporting fields that sit over an aquifer and that water could potentially end up in residents drinking water.
"That water can leach down into the aquifer and that is then used in the bores to take water into the water treatment facility," Cr Dickerson said.
Advertisement
"Effectively you are taking treated effluent into the water treatment plant and you can't do that."
The DPE offered council an expensive solution; to treat the water out of the sewerage treatment plant to a higher standard that would be able to be used if it went into the aquifer for the bores to then go into the water treatment plant .
"If we did that we would then spend more millions of dollars getting the effluent to the correct standard and that would be the most expensive water in Dubbo," Cr Dickerson said.
"You'd have that water that comes out across the pipeline treated to a higher standard, it would almost be treated to a drinking standard to get it to that level that the DPE would give us approval."
It would cost council extra to treat the water to a higher standard after already spending the money on the infrastructure for the original project.
Advertisement
The mayor said council was currently looking at what they could do to fix the pipeline and not leave it sitting empty.
"Is there water we can take from some bores or rivers somewhere that we can use on other fields rather then use potable water?" he said.
"But then again we are trying to come up with solutions to fix a problem that the last council created by just not doing things in the right way.
"It seems obvious you would go and get permission before you do it."
Cr Dickerson said the current council would spend time working out something to put in the pipeline so that it wasn't a "complete waste of money".

"I don't like to see one dollar wasted let alone millions of dollars," he said.

Two years after the massively popular mobile game Player Unknown’s Battleground: Mobile (PUBG) was banned in India, its new avatar Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), which garnered over 100 million users in the country, has also been removed from Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store. While the game’s publisher and developer, Krafton, has not released any official explanation, Google has said that the removal was done following government orders.
"On receipt of the order, following established process, we have notified the affected developer and have blocked access to the app that remained available on the Play Store in India," said a Google spokesperson.
What’s the matter?
Two years ago, PUBG was banned along with a long list of apps of Chinese origin to protest the Galwan clashes. These apps were deemed to be a “threat to India’s security”. PUBG’s association with the Chinese multinational technology and entertainment conglomerate Tencent, which operated the servers for the game, was assumed to be the reason for its ban. In response, Krafton released a rehashed version of PUBG specifically for Indian markets without any involvement with Tencent.
The removal of BGMI comes mostly unprompted and the reason for it is not yet clearly known.
This, however, comes roughly a month after a 16-year-old boy shot his mother after she tried to stop him from playing “online games like PUBG”. The matter was even raised in the ongoing Parliamentary session when the MPs asked if the IT Ministry was taking any action against the apps which result in crimes. The Home Ministry maintained that it was looking into the rehashed versions of the banned apps.
“There was a media report that a child has killed his mother based on PUBG that he has been playing. This is a matter of investigation by LEAs to find the reason. But, the PUBG gaming app was blocked by MeitY in the year 2020 and the PUBG game is not available in India since then,” Minister of State for Electronics & IT (MeitY) Rajeev Chandrasekhar responded.
What happens now?
It is not yet clear if the game has been removed permanently, even as those devices and users who are already logged in and have the game on their devices can still access the title without issue. Interestingly, another one of Krafton’s titles — PUBG New State — is still available on app stores.
According to TalkEsport, Krafton will meet with MeitY tomorrow regarding the issue. “We are clarifying how BGMI was removed from Google Play and will let you know once we get specific information,” a Krafton spokesperson said. | https://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/battlegrounds-mobile-india-bgmi-removed-from-google-play-apple-app-store-what-we-know-so-far-14296112.htm/amp | 2022-07-29T09:02:11Z | https://www.cnbctv18.com/technology/battlegrounds-mobile-india-bgmi-removed-from-google-play-apple-app-store-what-we-know-so-far-14296112.htm/amp | true | 2 |
Separatists say shelling killed Ukrainian prisoners of war
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — At least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war captured during the fighting for Mariupol have been killed by Ukrainian shelling, Russia-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine said.
Daniil Bezsonov, a spokesman for the Russia-backed separatists in the Donetsk region, said that at least 40 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed and 130 were injured Friday when Ukrainian shelling hit a prison in the town of Olenivka.
There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian authorities to the report.
The Ukrainian troops were taken prisoner after the fierce fighting for Ukraine’s Azov Sea port of Mariupol, where they holed up at the giant Azovstal steel mill for months.
The Azov Regiment and other Ukrainian units defended the steel mill for nearly three months, clinging to its underground maze of tunnels. They surrendered in May under relentless Russian attacks from the ground, sea and air.
Scores of Ukrainian soldiers were then taken to prisons in Russian-controlled areas such as the Donetsk region, a breakaway area in eastern Ukraine which is run by Russia-backed separatist authorities.
In other developments:
— Ukrainian officials said Russian forces shelled the country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv.
City mayor Ihor Terekhov said a central part of the northeastern city was hit, including a two-story building and a higher education institution. Terekhov said the strike occurred just after 4 a.m. on Friday.
“The State Emergency Service is already working — they are sorting out the rubble, looking for people under them,” Terekhov said in a Telegram update.

Leading racing advisor Andrew Mount’s is a contributor to the Racing Post, Racing Post Weekender, Racing & Football Outlook, the GG.co.uk website and a regular pundit on William Hill radio. Andrew uses stats and systems to find value bets and shares his latest thoughts below…
Andrew has been in good form this week and heads to Bangor and Newmarket for five bets on Friday, July 29th. Follow his tips this week and all year round on horse racing betting sites with the lowdown on his latest picks below:
Bet £10 Get £30 Free Bets
BANGOR 1.25
BIRD ON A WIRE (system – Donald McCain, handicap hurdles at Bangor, recent run)
Donald McCain gets plenty of winners at Bangor, one of his local tracks, and had we bet all the handicap hurdlers (since the beginning of 2011), we’d have found 53 winners from 250 bets (21.2% strike-rate) for a profit of £99.58 to a £1 level stake at SP. Those who had raced within the past four weeks were 38 from 117 (32.5%) in the same period for a profit of £130.32. BIRD ON THE WIRE clocked a good time when second at Worcester on his latest outing and can go one better in a weak race.
BANGOR 2.35
MY LITTLE TONI (system – Donald McCain, non-handicap hurdles at Bangor)
Donald McCain has a non-too shabby record in non-handicap hurdles at Bangor as well, scoring with 67 of his 236 runners (28.4%) since the start of 2011 for a profit of £57.23 to the usual £1 stake. MY LITTLE TONI can give Brian Hughes yet another winner.
BANGOR 5.27
COPPER FOX (system – Donald McCain, handicap hurdler at Bangor, recent run)
COPPER FOX is a qualifier on the same system as Bird On A Wire (see 1.25 Bangor) and looks very interesting on his handicap debut and return to a left-handed track. He jumped/hung left when only third at right-handed Perth on his latest outing and his two runs left-handed, on good ground, for his current trainer have produced a Uttoxeter win and a Bangor second to odds-on stablemate Kerosine Light who is now rated 119. An opening handicap mark of 101 could be on the generous side.
NEWMARKET 7.30
MIDNIGHT MOLL (system – Ed Walker, second-time-out, won or beaten by 5L or less on debut)
Ed Walker’s runners (two and three-year-olds only) who show ability on debut by winning or finishing within five lengths of the winner, have a great record at the second time of asking. They’ve won no less than 33 of their 100 starts and made a profit of £34.51 to a £1 level stake at SP. MIDNIGHT MOLL was a narrow winner over 7f here on her recent debut and can follow up.
NEWMARKET 8.00
NIZAAKA (system – Jane Chapple-Hyam, last-time out winners)
NIZAAKA is on a hat-trick after two course and distance wins already this summer and is likely to be hard to beat. Since the beginning of 2015, 31 of her trainer’s 128 last-time-out winners have followed up (24.2%) for a profit of £67.56 to a £1 level stake at SP.

Lena Dunham, Shonda Rhimes and Issa Rae demand abortion protection from studio execs
‘It is unacceptable to ask any person to choose between their human rights and their employment,’ letter states
Prominent TV talent including Issa Rae, Lena Dunham and Shonda Rhimes are demanding that studios create abortion protocols to protect employees after the overturning of Roe v Wade.
On Thursday (28 July), it was reported that over 400 creators, showrunners and headwriters in Hollywood had signed an open letter addressed to studio executives at Netflix, Warner Bros, NBC Universal, and Discovery.
The letter, which was obtained by Variety, outlined specific guidelines to safeguard the rights of employees in anti-abortion US states following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade – noting it is “unacceptable to ask any person to choose between their human rights and their employment”.
Among the demands listed in the letter, also signed by Russian Doll actor Natasha Lyonne and comedian Chelsea Handler, among others, is subsidised travel costs for employees seeking abortions, guaranteed employee privacy, as well as criminal and civil protection for anyone helping employees access abortions.
Hollywood is also seeking protocols for medical care for “ectopic pregnancies and other pregnancy complications”, per Variety’s report.
Finally, the creators who have signed the open letter want studios to halt donations to “anti-abortion candidates and political action committees” with immediate effect.
“As productions are currently in progress in states where abortion is illegal or pending criminalisation, your immediate written response is required and expected within 10 business days of 28 July, 2022,” the letter read.
Several Hollywood celebrities have spoken out against the US Supreme Court for revoking American women’s constitutional right to abortions.
These include Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Rodrigo and Phoebe Bridgers, who used their stages at Glastonbury Festival in the UK to condemn the ruling.
Several others such as Cher, Hilarie Burton and Meghan Markle have reflected on past miscarriages in light of the Supreme Court’s widely criticised decision.

Covid incubation period: How long are you infectious for?
Experts warn of fifth wave of infections as hospital admissions rise
World Health Organisation CEO Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: ‘Covid-19 has humbled us all’
A rise in UK hospital admissions for patients with Covid-19 has prompted experts to warn that Britain is in the midst of a fifth wave of coronavirus infections being driven by the BA.4 and BA.5 sub-variants of Omicron.
Life has largely returned to normal since the final social restrictions were removed on 24 February, with masks, distancing and hand sanitiser largely forgotten by the majority as the national focus switched to Partygate, the war in Ukraine and the cost of living crisis.
But the country saw a 43 per cent spike in cases at the beginning of June, seemingly caused by people coming together to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee over the course of a four-day weekend.
The latest figures show 1.7 million people testing positive across the UK, a 23 per cent increase week-on-week (w-o-w).
Even more worryingly, hospitalisations have increased 31 per cent w-o-w, climbing at a higher rate than the last Omicron revival back in March.
Healthcare chiefs have warned a new outbreak will have a significant impact on an NHS “already on its knees” and expressed concern over the return of major live events like Glastonbury, Notting Hill Carnival and the Edinburgh Festival, which could become super-spreader sites if precautions are not taken.
The last major spike in cases came in December and January, driven by Omicron, which spread rapidly around the world after being discovered in southern Africa in late November, once more threatening Christmas celebrations and sparking a run on booster vaccines.
Omicron proved to be less severe but more transmissible than its predecessor Alpha and Delta variants, with total daily case numbers in England rocketing to a pandemic high of 218,724 on 4 January, according to the UK Health Security Agency, before gradually falling away.
Since then, only the over-75s have been offered second booster jabs, meaning that immunity could be beginning to wane and prompting calls for a new booster to be offered more widely this autumn.
“If we are going to go into another wave, maybe that’s something that ought to be reconsidered,” John Roberts, one of the leading analysts at the Covid Actuaries group, has suggested.
What public health officials had to learn on the fly when Omicron arrived last winter was how the variant differed from the original Covid strain.
Whereas the World Health Organisation estimated that symptoms took anywhere between two days to two weeks to materialise in cases of people infected with the first coronavirus strain, Omicron proved to incubate much faster, closer to three to five days.
“Recent analysis from the UK Health Security Agency suggests that the window between infection and infectiousness may be shorter for the Omicron variant than the Delta variant,” UK health secretary Sajid Javid told the House of Commons on 6 December.
That explained why the strain was able to spread so swiftly and successfully, as the shortness of its incubation period gave sufferers a shorter window between suspecting they had contracted the virus and experiencing a flare-up, making it less likely a positive lateral flow test result would be recorded in time to warn others, enter isolation and prevent the contagion being passed on.
A shorter incubation period “makes a virus much, much, much harder to control”, Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, observed in The Atlantic that same month.
Another characteristic of Omicron that made it potentially harder to detect than earlier strains was that its symptoms differed somewhat from the three primary indicators we had been conditioned to be on the lookout for in 2020: coughs, fever and the loss of one’s sense of taste or smell.
Early warning signs for the newer variant, by contrast, included a scratchy throat, lower back pain, a runny or blocked nose, a headache, muscle pains and fatigue, sneezing and night sweats.
Omicron cases analysed in Britain found that patients typically recovered within five days to a week on average, although some symptoms like coughing and fatigue were likely to linger for longer.
Shortness of breath, experienced by some sufferers, often proved to last for as long as 13 days after other symptoms had passed.
Covid patients are, typically, thought to be infectious to others from around two days before their first symptoms start to materialise and for around 10 days after.
If you believe you have symptoms associated with the coronavirus, the current NHS advice is to take a lateral flow test and isolate at home for five days if you test positive to avoid passing it on to others (you should keep away from anyone likely to be particularly vulnerable because of their age or a pre-existing condition for 10 days).
If you do have to go out in public, you are encouraged to wear a face mask, avoid crowded indoor spaces and wash your hands for at least 20 seconds.
If you are concerned about your symptoms or believe they are getting worse, you are advised to visit 111.nhs.uk, call 111 or call your local GP surgery.

CHENNAI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday termed the Covid pandemic as 'unprecedented' and once in a century crisis and said the country faced it confidently due to its scientists and common people.
There was a "temperament" for reforms in the government, which is not restrictive but responsive, he said about the ruling NDA at the Centre and listed out various reforms, including in the drones and geospatial and infrastructure sectors.
In his address at the 42nd Convocation of Anna University here, the PM described the pandemic as "unprecedented" and "once in a century crisis" for which nobody had a user manual.
The pandemic "tested" every country, he noted.
"India faced the unknown confidently, thanks to its scientists, health care workers, professionals and common people. As a result, today every sector in India is bursting with new life, whether it is industry, innovation, investment or international trade" he said.
The country was at the forefront in every sector and has been converting obstacles into opportunities.
He hailed the removal of retrospective tax and various sectoral reforms for aiding the country in various sectors.
Addressing the young graduates, Modi said today was not a day of achievements but aspirations.
He lauded the varsity's teaching, non-teaching and support staff, saying they were "nation builders" who were creating the "leaders of tomorrow," i.e. the students.
He also appreciated the parents for their sacrifices that were "crucial" for their wards' growth.

WWE SummerSlam 2022: Rollins' match postponed after Riddle suffers injury, netizens unhappy
Seth Rollins was scheduled to face Riddle at WWE SummerSlam 2022. However, the latter has suffered a 'worked' injury, resulting in their match being postponed.
Former WWE Champion Seth Rollins was supposed to be in action against former WWE Tag-Team Champion Riddle at World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE's) upcoming pay-per-view (PPV) SummerSlam 2022. However, the match was postponed after the latter suffered a 'worked' injury, leading to the match being postponed. It happened after Rollins launched a sneak attack on Riddle last Monday on RAW after the latter was involved in a gruesome match against The Bloodline (Roman Reigns and The Usos). Rollins stomped Riddle's head on a couple of occasions on the floor and the steel steps, leading to the latter's so-called injury.
WWE Official Adam Pearce formally announced the decision on Twitter, who wrote, "Sadly, it is official. As someone that suffered a crushed brachial plexus in 2011, I know road ahead for Riddle and wish for him the speediest and strongest recovery possible." The news was earlier confirmed on WWE's talk show, The Bump, "BREAKING: @WWERollins injured @SuperKingofBros with a vicious attack on #WWERaw that resulted in a brachial plexus injury [a stinger]. Riddle is medically disqualified until full strength returns. Due to this injury, Riddle vs Rollins at #SummerSlam has been postponed."

After the announcement, Rollins took to Twitter to grieve over the situation and apologise to the fans for hoping to see him in action at SummerSlam. "For anyone who purchased a ticket to #SummerSlam hoping to see me in action, I apologise. I did everything I could over the last six months to earn my spot on this show, but some things are out of my control. Thank you for always singing my song. They'll hear ya someday," he composed.
However, what was interesting following all of this was legendary former WWE Superstar and new Creative Head Triple H's reaction, who replied to him, writing, "I hear you!" It will be interesting to see if H has anything in store for his former prodigy at SummerSlam. WWE fans expect a significant change on the promotion's creative front following the retirement of Vince McMahon as the WWE Chairman, who also no longer has the final say on the creative idea. | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/sports/wwe-world-wrestling-entertainment-summerslam-2022-seth-rollins-match-postponed-after-riddle-suffered-injury-netizens-unhappy-ayh-rfrwj6 | 2022-07-29T09:24:48Z | https://newsable.asianetnews.com/sports/wwe-world-wrestling-entertainment-summerslam-2022-seth-rollins-match-postponed-after-riddle-suffered-injury-netizens-unhappy-ayh-rfrwj6 | true | 1 |

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday that he's open to a call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss a possible prisoner swap involving American basketball star Brittney Griner.
Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. A person familiar with the matter said the U.S. government proposed trading convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for Whelan and Griner.
Speaking on a visit to Uzbekistan, Lavrov said his ministry had received an official U.S. request for a call after Blinken made the statement. Russia's top diplomat said he would be ready once he returns to Moscow and that the timing of the call was being worked out.
Lavrov said he was open to discussing the prisoner exchange, even though the Foreign Ministry hasn't been involved in previous discussions on the issue.
“I will listen to what he has to say,” Lavrov added.
Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps were typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes.
“We know that such issues are discussed without any such release of information,” Peskov told reporters during a conference call. “Normally, the public learns about it when the agreements are already implemented.”
Blinken’s comments marked the first time the U.S. government publicly revealed any concrete action it has taken to secure Griner’s release. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and player for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury was arrested at a Moscow airport in mid-February when inspectors found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
Griner’s arrest came at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington ahead of Russia sending troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24. Griner’s five months of detention have raised strong criticism among teammates and supporters in the United States.
Her trial on drug charges started in a court outside Moscow this month, and she testified Wednesday that she didn’t know how the cartridges ended up in her bag but that she had a doctor’s recommendation to use cannabis to treat career-related pain.
The 31-year-old has pleaded guilty but said she had no criminal intent in bringing the cartridges to Russia and packed in haste for her return to play in a Russian basketball league during the WNBA’s offseason. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of transporting drugs.
The Biden administration has faced political pressure to free Griner and other Americans whom the U.S. has declared to be “wrongfully detained” — a designation sharply rejected by Russian officials.
Whelan, a corporate security executive from Michigan, was sentenced to 16 years in prison on espionage charges in 2020. He and his family have vigorously asserted his innocence. The U.S. government has denounced the charges as false.
Russia has for years expressed interest in the release of Bout, a Russian arms dealer once labeled the “Merchant of Death.” He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2012 on charges that he schemed to illegally sell millions of dollars in weapons.

BSTAN Homes mulls provision of 100,000 houses annually, opens office in Lagos
BSTAN Homes, one of Nigeria’s leading real estate property developers in the commercial, retail and luxury residential business, has disclosed plans to provide 100,000 homes annually through its National Housing Fair.
The organisation also opened office in Lagos and launched seven ground breaking projects which include Baleric Estate, Eleko Junction; Rubyrose Estate in Abraham Adesanya, Lekki; Ocean View Resort in Ibeju Lekki; De-Royal Estate, Ojota Arepo; Olive City Estate, Ado Junction, Ibeju Lekki; Flora City Estate, Ogombo Road, Lekki and City Max Estate, Magodo Phase 1.
Speaking during the launch of its Lagos Branch, Becky Olubukola, president, BSTAN Homes, said considering the fact that Lagos is the most populated states in Nigeria and possibly West Africa, the need for housing in Lagos cannot be overemphasised.
According to Olubukola, there are many people who live in slums and several people cannot afford to pay rent, adding that one of the major things BSTAN Homes intend to achieve in Lagos is to make homes affordable and available for everyone and ensure that every Nigerian can afford its projects.
“We have been in business for 16 years now and we understand housing development. I am a stakeholder in Housing development. I am a PHD holder in Estate Management and Construction. I have a voice in Housing and I know the most important thing to do as a real estate firm is to make your homes affordable.
“Several projects going on in Lagos are not affordable. What is important is to build what people can afford, make mortgages available for them. This is one of the things that make us different in all the 11 states we operate in Nigeria, especially our head office in Abuja,” she explained.
The president of BSTAN said the organisation has 14 on-going projects in Abuja that have been sold out, noting that the company’s projects are often sold out between three to six months.

She said this is because BSTAN Homes have several mortgage plans for customers as people can make daily payments, N33,000 weekly payment, N50 monthly payment and N150,000 quarterly payment, stressing that the organisation is a pocket friendly organisation.
“We have the Kiddies legacy for the children, projects for youths and for everyone. One of the things to be rest assured is that there is something for everyone in BSTAN Homes,” she added.
Olubukola said one of the major achievements for BSTAN is the National House Fair and it will be holding the 6th edition of the Fair this year, 1st of December, 2022 at Oriental hotel, Lagos.
She hinted that from the fair, BSTAN has provided 26,850 homes, with its major plan is to ensure it can provide 100,000 homes every year.
“We do 10 plots every year for free and this means 50 families have received 50 free houses since the National House Fare started. She assured that this year will be no different as lucky winners from the raffle draw will not only be gifted houses but there will be several other compensation gifts.
“Ten families will be owners of plots of lands in Lagos worth millions of naira. The raffle tickets give people the opportunity to win these plots of lands and several other consolation prizes. Beyond that, we have a 20 percent discount on all our projects opened in Lagos. Raffle tickets are available online and our office in Lagos,” she said. | https://businessday.ng/news/article/bstan-homes-mulls-provision-of-100000-houses-annually-opens-office-in-lagos/ | 2022-07-29T09:45:37Z | https://businessday.ng/news/article/bstan-homes-mulls-provision-of-100000-houses-annually-opens-office-in-lagos/ | false | 1 |

Despite the fact that a month ago it was speculated that both would have ended, since they coincided in the Fashion Week in Parisbut they did not meet even once, the latest revealed photographs have put aside this theory and have stirred up social networks once again.
Now, the rumors of a private relationship between the actors resurface after being captured by an American paparazzi while enjoying an exciting motorcycle ride.
In the snapshots shared by Daily Mailthe Mexican actress can be seen wearing a loose yellow and black jacket, while the protagonist of “Aquaman” He wears a baby pink shirt, gray pants and black boots. Likewise, it is appreciated that both take care of her safety and wear protective helmets of different colors.
YOU CAN SEE: Eiza González is honest about Hollywood: “This industry destroys me”
Did Jason Momoa and Eiza González finish?
In mid-June, a source close to the couple declared exclusively for the magazine People and pointed out that both would have made the decision to end, since “they are just very different people”.
On the other hand, he talked about the expectations that each one had about the bond that would remain from that romance and clarified that neither of them was interested in maintaining a stable relationship.
“Eiza González wanted casual dates. About Jason… it’s not that he doesn’t take it seriously (…). He loved Lisa very much, and there is still mutual respect between the two as far as I know,” he explained.

There has been no change to Shell’s stance on Cambo and it still has no intention to progress the field, the company’s chief executive has confirmed.
Ben van Beurden said on Thursday that the oil giant has “better things to do” with its cash than spend it one the project, despite the recent rise in commodity prices.
Shell (LON: SHEL) announced at the end of last year that is planned to pull out of the controversial West of Shetland scheme, in which it has a 30% stake.
It followed months of public discussion about the field, which became a whipping boy for environmental groups in the run up to the COP26 climate conference.
Cambo is operated by recent Ithaca Energy-acquisition, Siccar Point Energy with a 70% stake – it is one of the largest untapped fields in the UK North Sea.
Following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, which sent oil and gas prices soaring, there was speculation that Shell was reconsidering its decision, something Mr van Beurden has dismissed.
He said: “Let me be very clear and short about it, our position on Cambo hasn’t changed. We can’t see it being developed with us in there – the economics simply aren’t supportive enough.
“Of course, we are looking at a slightly better environment at the moment but it is a long term project, with scope for delays and everything else will remain.
“We have better things to do with our money to be perfectly honest.”
Mr van Beurden was speaking after Shell published another set of record quarterly accounts, trumping the personal best it set several months ago.
For the first half of 2022, the oil giant posted pre-tax profits of $36.9bn and revenue of $184bn, sparking fury from environmental groups.
After oil companies reported huge takings earlier this year, the UK Government opted to hit the sector with a windfall tax.
The Energy Profits Levy raises the headline rate of tax on producers by 25%, from 40% to 65%.
It is aimed at helping families cope with rising energy bills, but there are fears it could deter investment and drive companies elsewhere.
But despite the windfall tax, and the lack of movement on Cambo, Shell is still “very committed” to the North Sea.
Sinead Gorman, the company’s chief financial officer, said: “It is government prerogative to put in place taxes and of course, you’ve heard them talk about our view on the tax.
“We remain very committed to the UK, let’s be very clear about that. Shell has announced £20bn to £25bn worth of investment over the next decade, and that will continue. You’re seeing Pierce, you’re seeing Jackdaw, and you’re seeing many other examples of our commitment to the UK.” | https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/north-sea/west-of-shetland/431569/shell-position-on-cambo-hasnt-changed-despite-reports-to-the-contrary/ | 2022-07-29T09:49:50Z | https://www.energyvoice.com/oilandgas/north-sea/west-of-shetland/431569/shell-position-on-cambo-hasnt-changed-despite-reports-to-the-contrary/ | false | 1 |

This press release is not an offer of securities for sale in the United States. Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration. Any public offering of securities to be made in the United States will be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from the issuer or selling security holder and that will contain detailed information about the company and management, as well as financial statements.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Supervisory Commission, or T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provides EBITDA, which is a "non-GAAP financial measure". EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding (i) depreciation and amortization, (ii) total net comprehensive financing cost (which is comprised of net interest expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and other financing costs and derivative transactions), (iii) other income, net, (iv) income tax, (v) (income) loss from discontinued operations.
In managing the Company's business, Chunghwa Telecom relies on EBITDA as a means of assessing its operating performance because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization, which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs, which are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation rates, which have little or no bearing on our operating performance, (iii) income tax (iv) other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business.
CAUTIONS ON USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to the consolidated financial results prepared under T-IFRSs, Chunghwa Telecom also provide non-GAAP financial measures, including "EBITDA". The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with another method for assessing its operating results in a manner that is focused on the performance of its ongoing operations.
Chunghwa Telecom's management believes investors will benefit from greater transparency in referring to these non-GAAP financial measures when assessing the Company's operating results, as well as when forecasting and analyzing future periods. However, the Company recognizes that:
- these non-GAAP financial measures are limited in their usefulness and should be considered only as a supplement to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures;
- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures;
- these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered to be superior to the Company's T-IFRSs financial measures; and
- these non-GAAP financial measures were not prepared in accordance with T-IFRSs and investors should not assume that the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release were prepared under a comprehensive set of rules or principle.
Further, these non-GAAP financial measures may be unique to Chunghwa Telecom, as they may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. As such, this presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not enhance the comparability of the Company's results to the results of other companies. Readers are cautioned not to view non-GAAP results as a substitute for results under T-IFRSs, or as being comparable to results reported or forecasted by other companies.

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Friday that he's open to a call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to discuss a possible prisoner swap involving American basketball star Brittney Griner.
Blinken said Wednesday that Washington had offered Russia a deal that would bring home Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. A person familiar with the matter said the U.S. government proposed trading convicted Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for Whelan and Griner.
Speaking on a visit to Uzbekistan, Lavrov said his ministry had received an official U.S. request for a call after Blinken made the statement. Russia's top diplomat said he would be ready once he returns to Moscow and that the timing of the call was being worked out.
Lavrov said he was open to discussing the prisoner exchange, even though the Foreign Ministry hasn't been involved in previous discussions on the issue.
“I will listen to what he has to say,” Lavrov added.
Asked Thursday about the U.S. offer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov replied that prisoner swaps were typically negotiated discreetly behind the scenes.
“We know that such issues are discussed without any such release of information,” Peskov told reporters during a conference call. “Normally, the public learns about it when the agreements are already implemented.”
Blinken’s comments marked the first time the U.S. government publicly revealed any concrete action it has taken to secure Griner’s release. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and player for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury was arrested at a Moscow airport in mid-February when inspectors found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage.
Griner’s arrest came at a time of heightened tensions between Moscow and Washington ahead of Russia sending troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24. Griner’s five months of detention have raised strong criticism among teammates and supporters in the United States.
Her trial on drug charges started in a court outside Moscow this month, and she testified Wednesday that she didn’t know how the cartridges ended up in her bag but that she had a doctor’s recommendation to use cannabis to treat career-related pain.
The 31-year-old has pleaded guilty but said she had no criminal intent in bringing the cartridges to Russia and packed in haste for her return to play in a Russian basketball league during the WNBA’s offseason. She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of transporting drugs.
The Biden administration has faced political pressure to free Griner and other Americans whom the U.S. has declared to be “wrongfully detained” — a designation sharply rejected by Russian officials.
Whelan, a corporate security executive from Michigan, was sentenced to 16 years in prison on espionage charges in 2020. He and his family have vigorously asserted his innocence. The U.S. government has denounced the charges as false.
Russia has for years expressed interest in the release of Bout, a Russian arms dealer once labeled the “Merchant of Death.” He was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2012 on charges that he schemed to illegally sell millions of dollars in weapons.

In the Irkutsk region, the police put the ex-deputy mayor of Ust-Kut on the wanted list in the case of a bribe
In the Irkutsk region, the police put on the federal wanted list the 69-year-old former deputy mayor of Ust-Kut, Sergei Makarenko, who is accused of bribery. On Friday, July 29, Lente.ru was informed by the official representative of the regional department of the Investigative Committee of Russia (TFR) Karina Golovacheva.
According to the agency, in 2018, the acting head of the department of architecture, construction, communications, transport and public utilities of the administration of the Kazachinsko-Lensky district, through an intermediary, received a reward in the amount of 240 thousand rubles from the director of the construction company. The money was intended for the defendant for performing certain actions or inaction when accepting completed road repair work.
On the fact of the incident, the investigators opened a criminal case under paragraph “c” of part 5 of article 290 (“Taking a bribe”) of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The figurant was detained with marked banknotes, after which he was released on bail, but he soon disappeared from law enforcement officers.

The German economy stagnated in the second quarter, neither growing nor shrinking compared to the previous quarter, the Federal Statistical Office announced on Friday as it provided a first estimate.
That compared to the first quarter of 2022, when Europe's largest economy grew by 0.8% according to the latest data.
The difficult global economic conditions with the coronavirus pandemic, disrupted supply chains, rising prices and the war in Ukraine were clearly reflected in the economy, the Wiesbaden-based authority explained.
According to the report, the economy was mainly supported by private and government consumer spending, while the balance of imports and exports dampened economic growth. | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/07/29/german-economy-stagnates-in-the-second-quarter-as-global-turmoil-hits | 2022-07-29T10:04:30Z | https://www.anews.com.tr/economy/2022/07/29/german-economy-stagnates-in-the-second-quarter-as-global-turmoil-hits | false | null |

LONDON (AP) — Izzy Short, 13, struggles to pick her favorite England player as she anticipates the team’s appearance in Sunday’s final of the European soccer championships.
There’s forward Ellen White. Defender Lucy Bronze. Midfielder Georgia Stanway. Captain Leah Williamson. The whole team basically.
“I just look up to them really,’’ the high school player from Manchester said, excitement filling her voice. “They are all very positive … they all, like, appreciated one another and how they are such a good team and all of them just working together really. And they’re just so kind and so good as well.”
The march to Sunday’s final against Germany has energized people throughout England, with the team’s pinpoint passing and flashy goals attracting record crowds, burgeoning TV ratings and adoring coverage. The Lionesses, as the team is known, have been a welcome distraction from the political turmoil and cost-of-living crisis that dominate the headlines.
The final, set to be played before a sellout crowd of more than 87,000 at historic Wembley Stadium, is seen as a watershed moment for women’s sports in England. Although the game, known here as football, is a national passion, female players have often been scoffed at and were once banned from top-level facilities. Now the women’s team has a chance to do something the men haven’t done since 1966: Win a major international tournament.
Hope Powell played 66 times for England and coached the team from 1998 to 2013.
“I think we have to give thanks to the people that worked really hard before us, that went through all of that, being banned, fighting for the right to play,” Powell told the BBC. “I think we have to remember what came before is what got us to the point we are today.”
There were 68,871 people in the stands at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United, when England beat Austria 1-0 in its opening game of this year’s European championship. That helped push total tournament attendance so far to 487,683 — more than double the record of 240,055, according to tournament organizer UEFA.
But it’s not just the victories that are attracting fans. It is how the team is winning.
With money from sponsorship deals and a new TV contract supporting full-time professional players, there is more flash and polish than many expected. While they don’t play like the men’s team, that’s not a bad thing.
There are fewer players flopping to the ground to draw fouls, less rolling around on the turf dramatically clutching purportedly injured knees or ankles and little shouting at the referees. Instead there is teamwork, artful passes and stunning goals like Stanway’s 20-meter (22-yard) screamer in the quarterfinal victory over Spain and the backheel from Alessia Russo in England’s 4-0 semifinal win against Sweden.
And here’s the thing: People like it.
Naomi Short, Izzy’s mom and the goalie for Longford Park Ladies Football Club, said fans are being treated to a “totally different vibe’’ at the stadium and on the field — one that’s more welcoming than the lager-fueled tribalism that has put some people off the men’s game.
“It’s not just girls watching it — it’s families, it’s men, women, children. Everybody’s watching it. It’s brought everybody together,’’ said Short, 44. “Whereas, you know, sometimes when you go to a men’s game, there is sometimes (a) slightly different atmosphere.”
There is also less distance between fans and the players, who know they have a responsibility to build a game their mothers and grandmothers were excluded from. The players stay after games and sign autographs. They take selfies. There is time for a chat. They know that little kids look up to them.
Coach Sarina Wiegman has made a point of noting that there’s more at stake than victory alone.
“We want to inspire the nation,’’ Wiegman said after the team’s semifinal victory. “I think that’s what we’re doing and we want to make a difference — and we hope that we will get everyone so enthusiastic and proud of us and that even more girls and boys start playing football.”
The groundswell of support for the team is also being fueled by the country’s dismal record in international competition and hopes that they can bring a European championship home to England, which prides itself as the place where modern football was invented.
England’s last major international championship, men’s or women’s, came at the 1966 World Cup — a lifetime ago for most fans. The men’s team disappointed fans again last year when they lost to Italy in the final of their European championship.
That leaves it to the women to end the drought.
Women’s football has a long and sometimes controversial history in England.
The women’s game flourished during and for a few years after World War I, when teams like Dick, Kerr Ladies Football Club filled the sporting gap created as top men’s players went off to the trenches to fight. Women’s teams, many organized at munitions plants, attracted large crowds and raised money for charity. One match in 1920 attracted 53,000 spectators.
But that popularity triggered a backlash from the men who ran the Football Association, the sport’s governing body in England. In 1921, the FA banned women’s teams from using its facilities, saying “the game of football is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.”
The ban remained in place for the next 50 years.
Women organized their own football association in 1969, and soon after the FA ended its ban on women. The FA took over responsibility for the women’s game in 1993, beginning the slow process of improving funding and facilities.
Things accelerated after the 2012 London Olympics, when authorities began to recognize there was a global audience for the women’s game, said Gail Newsham, author of “In a League of Their Own!’’ that tells the story of Dick, Kerr Ladies.
Last year, the FA signed a three-year deal for broadcast rights to the Women’s Super League, increasing funding and exposure for the game. Sky Sports will broadcast a minimum of 35 games a year on its pay TV channels, and the BBC will carry another 22 on its free-to-view network.
“It’s not that long ago that girls, you know, top players, were paying for their own travel to get to matches and then having to get up to go to work the next day. So all of this is helping,’’ Newsham said of the funding. “You can see the difference now in the professionalism of the girls playing football.”
The excitement about Sunday’s final has triggered a scramble for tickets.
Tickets that originally sold for 15-50 pounds ($18-$61) are now selling for 100-1,000 pounds ($122-$1,216) on resale sites.
The Short family has decided to watch the game at the local pub, making an afternoon of it, like fans around the country.
“I don’t think it will matter if it’s men or women,’’ Naomi Short said. “It’s England now. It’s coming home. You know, I’d like to think that’s what people are getting excited about.” | https://www.wytv.com/news/national-world/ap-international/womens-soccer-energizes-england-in-a-league-of-their-own/ | 2022-07-29T10:13:25Z | https://www.wytv.com/news/national-world/ap-international/womens-soccer-energizes-england-in-a-league-of-their-own/ | false | 34 |

WARSAW/GDANSK, Poland, July 29 (Reuters) - Polish gas company PGNiG PGN.WA has agreed terms for the conversion of its shares into PKN Orlen PKN.WA stock as part of a takeover deal, the companies said on Friday, an announcement that sent PGNiG's shares up over 10%.
Under the agreement, PGNiG PGN.WA shareholders will get 0.0925 PKN Orlen shares for each PGNiG share they hold.
Coming shortly after shareholders approved Orlen's takeover of fellow Polish refiner Grupa Lotos LTSP.WA, the agreement marks another step towards the creation of an integrated energy giant that Poland's government hopes will be a powerful global player that boosts the country's energy security.
"Creating strong companies with diverse, complementary areas of activity is not only an international standard, but also a necessity from the point of view of the challenges of the energy transformation and the success of further development of our economy," Orlen Chief Executive Daniel Obajtek said in a statement.
The PGNiG deal will now need to be approved by shareholders of both companies.
PGNiG shares were up 10.7% at 0747 GMT, topping Warsaw's blue-chip WIG20 index .WIG20. PKN Orlen shares were down 1.7%.
"The companies' share prices were discounting an even more pessimistic proposition for PGNiG, hence today's increase in its share price," said Trigon DM analyst Michal Kozak, adding that in his opinion the deal undervalued PGNiG.
PKN Orlen said that it expects the acquisition to be finalised in October or November.

NMC gives relaxation to foreign medical graduates who had to return from Ukraine, China
National Medical Commission, NMC has decided to give relaxation to the foreign medical graduates who returned from Ukraine and China. These students who returned due to covid and the Russia-Ukraine war will be allowed for the FMG Exam.

Final year students who returned to India due to Covid and Russia-Ukraine war and got degrees from their institutes on or before June 30, 2022, will be allowed for Foreign Medical Graduate exam, the National Medical Commission said Friday.
Upon qualifying the Foreign Medical Graduate (FMG) exam, they will be required to undergo a Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) for two years instead of the existing one year, the NMC said in a public notice.
The foreign medical graduates will be eligible to get registration only after completing the two-year CRMI, it said adding the relaxation granted to the foreign medical students is a "one-time measure" and shall not be treated as "precedence in the future".
"In pursuance to the order passed by the Supreme Court on April 29, it is informed that the Indian students who were in the last year of their undergraduate medicine course (had to leave their foreign medical institute and return to India due to COVID-19, Russia -Ukraine war etc) and have subsequently completed their studies as also have been granted a certificate of completion of the course by their respective institute, on or before June 30, 2022, shall be permitted to appear in FMG exam," the notice said.
"Thereafter, upon qualifying the FMG examination, such foreign medical graduates are required to undergo CRMI for a period of two years to make up for the clinical training which could not be physically attended by them during the undergraduate medicine course in the foreign institute as also to familiarise them with the practice of medicine under Indian conditions," the notice said.
The Supreme Court on April 29 directed the regulatory body to frame a scheme in two months to enable MBBS students affected by the Russia-Ukraine war and the pandemic to complete their clinical training in medical colleges here as a one-time measure

SEREMBAN, July 29 — Umno is hoping that the Registrar of Societies (RoS) will give an immediate decision regarding its constitutional amendment application so that preparations for the party’s annual general assembly can take off.
Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the party had officially written to RoS with the hope of getting a firm answer before July 31 to ensure the party can manage the party’s affairs if it is not approved.
“... we are not pushing but we need an answer before July 31, however July 31 falls on a weekend, if possible we want the letter by today.
“We are saying this because regardless of yes or no, we need to start making preparations. If not approved, party elections must be held this year because the 18-month period will expire at the end of the year,” he told reporters after meeting Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders here today.
Umno prior to this had approved an amendment to the party’s constitution allowing party elections to be held no later than six months after the General Election (GE), to enable members to focus on the GE.
The notice was submitted to RoS on May 17. — Bernama | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/29/constitutional-amendment-umno-hoping-for-immediate-answer-from-ros-says-tok-mat/20022 | 2022-07-29T10:22:22Z | https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2022/07/29/constitutional-amendment-umno-hoping-for-immediate-answer-from-ros-says-tok-mat/20022 | false | 2 |
Growing up, I always used crutches to get around, and only would use a wheelchair for school field trips or vacations that involved long-distance walking; ableism and issues of inaccessibility are part of the reason why.
In the moments when I did use a wheelchair, I noticed that I was restricted in terms of where I could go. I remember facing barriers in accessing some shops and restaurants, especially in older buildings.
These concerns took on added significance after an upsetting visit to a Washington, D.C., bar in early July where I was told to leave my wheelchair outside.
My friends had already carried my wheelchair down to the first-floor entrance. I could otherwise physically enter the establishment on my crutches, but we were told that we could only come in through the accessible street entrance on the second floor.
The business eventually let us in through the front entrance, but when my friends carried my wheelchair upstairs to the dance floor on the third floor, we were once again told that the chair wasn't allowed in that area, and that we'd have to keep it on the second floor.
This entire experience left me reflecting on the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 — a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability in all aspects of public life.
The incident, which received a lot of attention and media coverage, left me frustrated and questioning how something like this could have happened with the ADA in place.
My experience at the bar is not unique in the disabled community, which shows that while the ADA is an important foundation for our rights, and shouldn't be taken for granted, it is just the baseline. We need more protections and policies to prevent such issues and to further disability rights.
It has been 32 years this week since the law was passed, and activists and experts believe more protections and policies are needed to prevent such issues and to move the disability rights movement forward.
Joining the disability rights movement was a pure necessity for this activist
When she was in college at Long Island University, Judy Heumann remembered having conversations with other disabled students about significant movements that were happening at the time, including the women's rights and civil rights movements. But they didn't see much of a disability movement happening.
Heumann began learning from other activists as a participant in anti-war protests, as well as from organizing protests and activism with other disabled students at her college.
"We were no movement, but we were talking about [how] there are a lot of us, and there are all these issues that need to be dealt with. These other groups are not representing at all, they're not really seeking us to be involved, whatever the group was. And we need to be looking at creating something that brings us together, and where we can be addressing these multitude of issues," Heumann told NPR in a Zoom interview.
Heumann would go on to become one of the leaders of the disability rights movement, which led to societal shifts that often are taken for granted today.
David Capozzi, who served as the executive director of the U.S. Access Board and oversaw the development of the ADA's accessibility guidelines, said the law's biggest successes have been in public transportation.
Prior to the passage of the ADA, 65% of the buses in the U.S. were accessible. According to a 2020 survey by the Federal Transit Administration, more than 97% of buses are ADA accessible.
"You could go to any corner in any city across America, wait for a bus, and you know that that bus is going to have either a lift or a low floor and a ramp. And there's not many countries that can say that. So I think that's a big success," said Capozzi to NPR in a Zoom interview.
But there are still frustrating gaps, Capozzi said, noting that Amtrak has only made a quarter of its stations accessible in the decades since the law passed. Similarly, less than a quarter of subway stations in New York City are accessible to those with physical or mobility disabilities.
More education around disability rights is needed
Capozzi noted that there are no "ADA police," so complaints of inaccessibility and ADA violations have to be filed with agencies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Department of Justice.
This accountability mechanism is one of the limitations of the ADA that often gets brought up in the disability community, said Sandy Ho, the director of the disability inclusion fund at Borealis Philanthropy.
"It is still the burden, the expectation, [and] the responsibility of disabled people, people in the disability community to bring up the ADA and accommodations that are not meeting basic requirements," Ho told NPR in a Zoom interview.
Ho noted that there aren't education standards around the ADA in the way other civil rights movements in U.S. history are taught.
Heumann said that most disabled people don't know about the ADA, and that there needs to be more funding put into training to teach both disabled and non-disabled people about these laws, what entities are covered by them, and how to advocate around the laws.
Because of the lack of knowledge about the ADA, misconceptions arise. For example, Capozzi noted that many believe there is a "grandfather clause" in the ADA that states that establishments built before 1990 aren't covered by the law.
"There's just a lesser standard for existing buildings — you have to make your building accessible to the extent that it's readily achievable to do so, which means cheap and easy. But there is no grandfather clause," Capozzi said.
Disability experts advise against amending the ADA but want to see disability rights advancing
Capozzi believes that reviewing the ADA's regulations periodically is good from a public policy stance, but is more guarded about the idea of amending the legislation itself.
"It's always a risk to open up an existing piece of legislation, because you may not like what the end result is," Capozzi said. "You really need to weigh the pros and cons based on what the politics are. Do you have friends and enemies in the House and the Senate? Do you think that you can get an improvement? Or if you open it up, do you risk losing something?"
The threats to disability rights and the ADA are very much present.
In 2018, the House of Representatives voted to gut the Americans with Disabilities Act by passing H.R. 620, the "ADA Education and Reform Act," which would hamper the enforcement of the law. Forty-three senators voiced opposition to the bill and it has not been enacted.
Disability advocates expressed opposition to the bill, pointing out that it would remove incentives for businesses to comply with the law, and place excessive burdens on individuals with disabilities.
Heumann says that now is not the time to amend the ADA, and that efforts should be directed toward other areas for furthering disability rights, such as home- and community-based services.
She also emphasized the importance of making sure that there are appropriate staffing levels at agencies that handle ADA complaints, and that disabled people and their family members understand their rights.
"When one is armed with knowledge I think we can, in some cases, address issues before they escalate. And in other cases, maybe not." she said. "If we are able to have millions of disabled people understand what their rights are, that to me is very important."
The impact of the ADA on American society cannot be understated
Ho, who was in kindergarten when the law was passed, only learned of its impact later on in life once she began identifying politically and socially as disabled.
As a disabled woman and a wheelchair user, the law protected her and gave her access and equal protection to opportunities she otherwise might not have, including access to transportation, public education and employment, she said.
"The ADA is something that has really kind of been the context and the very background of my life, rather than something that I consider at the forefront of my life and the work that I do," Ho said.
While the ADA is the bare minimum, Ho says that it has not extended to every member of the disability community. She emphasizes the importance of prioritizing those who are closest to injustice and who have been historically marginalized when fighting for civil rights.
"Black disabled women, trans and queer folks who are not put in positions of power but who society is most likely to consider to be disposable, they should be leading this conversation on how and in what ways the ADA should be expanded," Ho said
Heumann says that the disability movement has come a long way in the last 50 or 60 years, especially in terms of appropriate representation of disabled people in the movement.
She's proud of the ongoing work that the ADA generation — a term for people born after the law's passage in 1990 — across the U.S. and globally are doing to organize against the threats to civil rights.
"The threats are alive and well, in so many ways. The ADA and [Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973] and all these other laws ... [are so] important to enable us to be able to live a life like we fantasize under this vision of what it means to live in the United States, and what our rights theoretically are," Heumann said. "Celebrating the ADA is really looking at how our movement has grown. I think we've come a long way in the last 50, 60 years, but we still have so much more to do."
My experience at the bar is just one example of how much more needs to be done for the disabled community
Navigating society is still difficult for me as a disabled person. Following my experience at the D.C. bar, its manager of diversity, equity and inclusion reached out to me to discuss what happened and to apologize.
In our meeting, he laid out action items he planned to take to ensure that such an occurrence doesn't happen to disabled patrons in the future, which included revisiting bar policies and making sure they're enforced with retraining for all staff.
While I appreciated the apology and dedication to do better, I remember feeling very indifferent to the bar's response, and having a, "I'll believe it when I see it" mindset to their statement of dedication to accessibility.
The incident at the bar still happened and it's largely because accessibility and inclusivity for disabled people are often treated as an afterthought. In my experience, attempts to do better were only initiated after such incidents occur and disabled people made noise about.
The burden shouldn't fall on us to constantly fight against violations of our civil rights. In an ideal world, the ADA would be enforced more, and owners of bars and restaurants would prioritize access to all. I wish I was able to access every place in society with ease. But that isn't the reality for myself and so many others.
I'm immensely grateful to be a part of the ADA generation, and will never take for granted how hard disability activists fought for the civil rights protections that I benefit from every day. But at the same time, I want more for myself and my community, whether it be through expanding or modernizing existing laws, or bringing forward new policies to advance our rights and access.
The ADA deserves to be celebrated. But it can't be seen as the final destination for disability rights. We deserve more.

Guardian loses legal challenge over hearing about Duke of Edinburgh’s will
The Guardian newspaper has lost an appeal over the secret nature of a court hearing which dealt with the Duke of Edinburgh’s will.
The newspaper brought a challenge at the Court of Appeal against a judge’s decision to exclude the press from a hearing in July 2021.
Lawyers for the Guardian argued at a hearing last week that the entirely private hearing over whether the will should remain secret was the “most serious interference with open justice”.
Philip, the nation’s longest-serving consort, died aged 99 on April 9 last year, two months before he would have turned 100.
After the death of a senior member of the royal family, it has been convention for more than a century that an application to seal their will is made to the president of the Family Division of the High Court.
This means the wills of senior members of the royal family are not open to public inspection in the way a will would ordinarily be.
At last year’s hearing, the president of the Family Division, Sir Andrew McFarlane, heard legal argument from lawyers representing Philip’s estate and the Attorney General, who represents the public interest in such matters.
An entirely private hearing such as this is the most serious interference with open justice
The Guardian challenged the decision to hold a hearing on an application to seal the will in private, arguing it was “disproportionate and unjustified”. There was no appeal against the decision to seal the will.
Dismissing the newspaper’s appeal, senior judges ruled that it was not a case where “fairness demanded that the media be notified of the hearing or asked to make submissions before judgment”.
Sir Geoffrey Vos and Dame Victoria Sharp, sitting with Lady Justice King, said they could not see how the media could have been alerted to the fact the hearing was taking place “without risking the media storm that was feared”.
They added: “The hearing was at a hugely sensitive time for the Sovereign and her family, and those interests would not have been protected if there had been protracted hearings reported in the press rather than a single occasion on which full reasons for what had been decided were published.”
The judges also said the circumstances of the case were “exceptional”.
Sir Geoffrey and Dame Victoria added: “It is true that the law applies equally to the Royal Family, but that does not mean that the law produces the same outcomes in all situations.
“These circumstances are, as we have said, exceptional.
“We are not sure that there is a specific public interest in knowing how the assets of the Royal Family are distributed.
“A perceived lack of transparency might be a matter of legitimate public debate, but the (Non-Contentious Probate Rules) allow wills and their values to be concealed from the public gaze in some cases.
“The judge properly applied the statutory test in this case.”
Caoilfhionn Gallagher QC, for Guardian News and Media, argued at last week’s hearing: “An entirely private hearing such as this is the most serious interference with open justice. It is an exceptional step that requires exceptional justification.
“In this case, (Sir Andrew) decided to take such an exceptional step without even inviting or permitting members of the media to make submissions about whether such a procedure was fair or justified.”
Lawyers for the Attorney General argued: “The attorney is uniquely well placed to assist the court because she can represent the general public interest free from any non-public interest influences.”
They argued the context of the situation was “exceptional because of the nature of the application” and that, quoting Sir Andrew, the practice of sealing royal wills had become a “convention that has now been in place for over a century”.
In their written submissions the lawyers said Sir Andrew “committed no legal error” and “applied the correct principled approach to the issues”.
They said The Guardian must show that the judge’s conclusions were “wrong” and doing so would be a “difficult hurdle”.
In a ruling in October, Sir Andrew ordered that Philip’s will was to remain sealed for 90 years and may only be opened in private even after that.
He said the ruling was published to make as much detail as possible public without “compromising the conventional privacy afforded to communications from the sovereign”.
The judge said it was in the public interest for him to make clear he had neither seen, nor been told anything of the contents of, Philip’s will, other than the date of its execution and the identity of the appointed executor.
Sir Andrew said any future judgments on applications to seal royal wills would remain closed, and therefore will not be made public.

KNIGHTS coach Adam O'Brien is confident Tex Hoy will prove a capable fill-in for however long Kalyn Ponga is sidelined - and the statistics support his faith.
Ponga will miss Sunday's clash with the Bulldogs at McDonald Jones Stadium after suffering his fifth concussion of the season in last week's 42-12 loss to Sydney Roosters.

"He's seen one specialist, and he's got another one to go to," O'Brien said.
"So I don't have anything definitive. We'll be governed by what they say and we'll be 100 per cent supportive of the specialists on that ... until we get the answer, all I'm doing is planning for a game this week without him."
O'Brien said he was "obviously concerned" about the Queensland Origin star but was "sitting back letting people who are a lot smarter than me handle this one".
In the meantime, Super League-bound Hoy will deputise, and O'Brien has valid reason to be backing him.
The 22-year-old, who is on a fraction of Ponga's salary, has won three of the six games in which he has played this year. Ponga has won three of 14.
"I've known pretty much since the game last weekend that Tex would come in, so we've focused on that ... we played without him [Ponga] against the Titans a few weeks ago, and it was a game where we played quite well," O'Brien said.
"That's not a given. He does play a huge part in our attack, but I'm really confident that Tex has played a number of games. We've been without Kalyn a lot this year, so I'm confident in the team. If we go out there with an 80-minute mindset, we can get the job done."
Meanwhile, back-rower Lachlan Fitzgibbon may have played his last game of the season after re-injuring a troublesome shoulder against the Roosters.
Fitzgibbon underwent two bouts of surgery on the shoulder last year and is expected to undergo an arthroscope to determine the extent of the damage.
"The surgeon wants to give it a little bit of time to settle down before they go in there and have another look at it," O'Brien said. "The concern is it's the same shoulder, and probably the bigger concern was that it's a very similar or the same injury as last year." | https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/7840327/knights-coach-adam-obrien-backing-tex-hoy-to-look-after-no1/ | 2022-07-29T10:38:47Z | https://www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/7840327/knights-coach-adam-obrien-backing-tex-hoy-to-look-after-no1/ | true | 1 |
Traffic forecaster Bison futé has issued a ‘black’ alert for heavy traffic. Meanwhile, train operator SNCF is bracing for its busiest period of the year. Some 400,000 passengers expected to travel on main lines on Friday, and reservations for the summer are already 10 percent higher than the record-breaking level for the summer of 2019.
This weekend alone, one million travellers are expected to take a train in France, and a third of the 650 TGV Inoui and Ouigo running each day (on 800 mainline trains) are full.
“We’re doing what we always do, but the trains are fuller and we’re distributing luggage tags to avoid forgotten luggage,” an SNCF Voyageurs spokeswoman told AFP.
The most popular rail destinations this summer are, unsurprisingly, the Mediterranean, the south-west and Brittany, with the “top five” most popular cities being, as last year, Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille and Avignon. The east of France is also popular this year, with notable increases in bookings to Nancy (+56 percent over one year), Metz (+50 percent) and Reims (+63 percent).
While travel on French roads is classed as “difficult” or “very difficult” on Friday – orange and red on Bison Futé’s four-colour alert system – Saturday is classed as “extremely difficult” – or black on its colour system, its highest alert level.
Traffic difficulties are expected throughout the weekend, in the south-east and along the Mediterranean Arc as holidaymakers head to popular resorts. Jams are also predicted on the A20, A71 and A75 in central regions; and on the A61, A62 and A63 in the south-west, as well as the A10.
Meanwhile, the A7 in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, and the A61 and A62 in south-west France will be busy as holidaymakers head back home; and traffic will be difficult on the A8 and A9 freeways, on the coast from the Italian border to the Spanish border.
More specifically, on Friday, Bison Futé urges drivers heading off on holiday to avoid:
- travel in the Île-de-France after 12noon;
- the A1 between Paris and Senlis from 5pm to 7pm;
- the A10 between Orleans and Poitiers from 8am to 8pm, and between Poitiers and Bordeaux from 11am to 5pm;
- the A63 between Bayonne and Spain from 9am to 8pm;
- the A6 between Beaune and Mâcon from 11am to 7pm;

- the A42 between Lyon and Pont-d’Ain from 9am to 1pm;
- the A43 between Lyon and Chambery from 4pm to 7pm; the Mont-Blanc tunnel in the direction of Italy from 10am to 7pm.
Those heading away from France’s main resorts back home should:
- return to or cross the Ile-de-France before 2pm;
- avoid the A63 between Spain and Bayonne from 5pm to 7pm;
- avoid the A6 between Lyon and Beaune from 1pm to 6pm;
- avoid the A7 between Marseille and Orange from 8am to 8pm, and between Orange and Lyon from 9am to 8pm;

- avoid the A9 between Narbonne and Orange from 4pm to 7pm;

- avoid the Mont-Blanc tunnel heading into France, from 4pm to 6pm.
Saturday, July 30th, will be the busiest day of the weekend for travel on French roads. Bison Futé has the following advice for drivers on outward journeys:
- leave or cross the Île-de-France after 12noon;
- avoid the A13 between Rouen and Caen from 9am to 4pm,

Travel on Sunday is forecast to be comparatively easier. Bison Futé has labelled most of the country as yellow – “difficult” – with the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region classed as red – “very difficult” in the direction of resorts.
But it still lists the following stretches of French roads to avoid on outward journeys:
- Major routes in Île-de-France after 7am;
- the A10 at the Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines toll area from 9am to 12pm; and between Orléans and Bordeaux from 9am to 5pm;

- the A61 between Toulouse and Narbonne from 9am to 5pm;
- the Mont-Blanc tunnel in direction of Italy from 10am to 5pm (waiting time higher than 30 min).
Meanwhile, holidaymakers heading home should:
- return to or cross Ile-de-France before 2pm;

- avoid the A7 between Marseille and Orange from 10am to 7pm; and between Orange and Lyon, from 11am to 7pm,

Days after Admiral Schofield signed his two-way qualifying offer with the Orlando Magic, the team has filled its other two-way roster slot.
The Magic signed Kevon Harris to a two-way contract Monday afternoon, the team announced.
Multiple league sources confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel on Monday morning before Orlando’s announcement that the Magic reached an agreement with Harris on a two-way deal.
Harris will occupy the Magic’s second two-way roster spot and along with Schofield also will be eligible to play for the Lakeland Magic, Orlando’s G League affiliate.
Introduced during the 2017-18 season, two-way contracts are deals intended for development, with players going back and forth between a franchise’s NBA team and G League affiliate. Only players with fewer than four years of NBA experience can sign two-way contracts. Each team can sign a pair of players to two-way deals.
Two-way players will once again have a 50-game limit in the regular season to be on their NBA team’s active roster in 2022-23 after the NBA and the National Basketball Players Association had scrapped that limit in 2021-22 because of teams’ COVID-19 outbreaks.
Harris, a 6-foot-6, 216-pound guard/forward out of Stephen F. Austin who’s best known for his scoring ability as a ballhandler, was a standout during summer league for the Minnesota Timberwolves, averaging 15.8 points (57.7% from the field, 45.8% on 3-pointers), 2.8 rebounds and 2 assists in five games (27.1 minutes).
He’s spent the last two seasons in the G League and overseas since going undrafted in 2020.
Harris, 25, averaged 15 points (47.2% shooting from the field, 34.3% on 3s), 5.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 24 games (30.2 minutes) during 2021-22 with Raptors 905, the Toronto Raptors’ G League affiliate.
He averaged 14.4 points (48.3% shooting, 39.7% on 3s), 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists during his four years at Stephen F. Austin, including 17.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists his senior season when he was named the Southland Conference men’s basketball player of the year.
Harris, a Georgia native who graduated from Martin Luther King Jr. High in Lithonia, Ga., completed a postgraduate year at DME Academy in Daytona Beach in 2015-16.
The Magic have 18 players under contract for 2022-23 after signing Harris — 15 on guaranteed standard contracts, one on a fully non-guaranteed deal (Devin Cannady) and Schofield and Harris on two-way contracts.
Teams can have up to 20 players, including two-way players, signed to deals during the offseason before having to cut their rosters down to 15 players on standard contracts (plus a pair of two-way players) before the regular season starts.
That means the Magic will have to trade or waive at least one player to become roster compliant.
With the season not starting until mid-October, Orlando has time to make that decision.

Bob Dylan accuser drops sexual abuse case after claims she destroyed ‘dozens of critical emails’
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Bob DylanAmerican singer-songwriter
The woman who sued Bob Dylan for allegedly sexually abusing her when she was a child has dropped her case, following claims by the musician’s lawyers that she destroyed evidence.
In August 2021, the plaintiff (identified only as JC) alleged that she was plied with drugs and alcohol, aged 12, before Dylan, real name Robert Zimmerman, abused her at his apartment in New York and at the Chelsea Hotel on multiple occasions.
The woman alleged assault, battery and false imprisonment, as well as infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit further alleged that “over a six-week period between April and May of 1965, [Dylan] befriended and established an emotional connection with the plaintiff”, which it claims was “part of his plan to sexually molest and abuse” her.
A spokesperson for Dylan told The Independent at the time: “The 56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended.”
In a new development this week, Dylan’s legal team filed a letter to the federal court on Wednesday (27 July), accusing the plaintiff of deleting important text messages, and suggested that “monetary sanctions” were necessary.
On Thursday (28 July), Dylan’s lawyers said the plaintiff had dropped the case.
“This case is over,” said Dylan’s lead counsel, Orin Snyder, in a statement. “It is outrageous that it was ever brought in the first place. We are pleased that the plaintiff has dropped this... and that the case has been dismissed with prejudice.”
The lawsuit was filed at the court on behalf of the alleged victim last year, on the eve of the closure of the New York Child Victims Act “look back” window.
The act allowed victims of childhood abuse to file lawsuits against their alleged attackers – regardless of how old the claims were.

SAN SALVADOR, July 27 (Reuters) – El Salvador will dedicate $560 million in funds to a surprise bond buyback plan, its finance minister said on Wednesday, as the impoverished country looks to ease worries about the state of its public finances.
El Salvador’s president Nayib Bukele announced the voluntary bond repurchase offer on Tuesday, supported by funds allocated last year by the International Monetary Fund and a loan from a Central American multilateral lender. read more
Bukele, who last year championed the country’s adoption of the cryptocurrency bitcoin as legal tender alongside the U.S. dollar, faces growing pressure to demonstrate healthy finances as El Salvador’s options dwindle ahead of an $800 million bond maturity early next year.
Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya told local broadcaster TCS that $560 million the country has available could be used to buy some but not all 2023 and 2025 sovereign bonds, whose maturities total some $1.6 billion.
The debt buyback scheme marks an attempt to demonstrate sound finances despite high inflation, costly fuel subsidies plus losses stemming from Bukele’s bitcoin gambit.
“We are not going to buy the total debt. If we buy it, we will also buy it at a discount. And we’re not going to spend more than we have in the bank,” the minister said.
“To pretend that we are going to have all the money to buy all the debt is to believe that we have a magic wand to solve the country’s fiscal problems,” he said, describing the bond buybacks as a first step.
Salvadoran bond spreads to U.S. Treasuries tightened sharply on Wednesday but remained in very distressed territory.
The debt included in the offer saw the largest gains in price with the 2023 bond rising 12 cents to $0.86 and the 2025 bond up nearly 13 cents to $0.47, according to Refinitiv data.
Morgan Stanley said in a Wednesday research note that if confirmed, the buyback “would clearly demonstrate the willingness to pay.”
“Given that the key worry in the market has been around the willingness to pay as opposed to the ability, this transaction would ease those worries significantly,” the bank’s analysts said, adding there is no guarantee the buyback offer will happen.

- EUR/USD is expected to deliver more gains after overstepping the immediate hurdle of 1.0220.
- Fed’s mild hawkish guidance and concerns for softening retail demand have dragged the DXY.
- A vulnerable Eurozone GDP figure may weaken the shared currency bulls.
The EUR/USD pair is spinning around the critical figure of 1.0200 after picking offers around 1.0220 in the late New York Session. The pair has turned sideways after a sheer upside and is likely to extend its gains if the asset oversteps Wednesday’s high at 1.0220.
Well, it’s not the fundamentals of shared currency which has driven the asset higher but the plummeting US dollar index (DXY), which is responsible for the upside auction. The DXY witnessed a steep fall after the Federal Reserve (Fed) escalated its interest rates to 2.25-2.50%.
The option of a 1% rate hike was not viable as retail demand has been softer last month and an extreme policy tightening measure could dampen the catalyst further.
As per the commentary from Fed chair Jerome Powell, the labor market is rock solid and the Fed is seeing interest rates near 3.5% by the end of CY2022. Therefore, room for more rate hikes is less and the market participants may see normalcy in interest rate hikes in September monetary policy meeting.
On the eurozone front, fears of an energy crisis have escalated after the commentary from the German gas regulator that energy prices could accelerate further dramatically. The gas supply cut off from the main pipeline from Russia has created havoc in eurozone as the Winter season is coming, which is known for higher gas demand.
This week, the eurozone will report the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data on Friday, which will provide further guidance to investors. The economic data is seen lower at 3.4% than the prior release of 5.4% on an annual basis. A vulnerable GDP figure may weaken the shared currency bulls.

EUR/USD holds above 1.0200 as investors assess latest EU data
EUR/USD clings to daily gains above 1.0200 in the European session. The data from the euro area showed that the GDP grew at an annualized pace of 4% in Q2 and HICP inflation jumped to 8.9% in July. Both of these prints surpassed market expectations.
GBP/USD retreats below 1.2200 as dollar recovers
GBP/USD has lost its bullish momentum and declined below 1.2200 ahead of the key inflation data from the US. With the benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield rising more than 1% on the day, the dollar managed to stage a rebound and caused the pair to edge lower.
Gold pulls away from multi-week highs, holds above $1,760
Gold has erased a portion of its daily gains in the European session after having touched its highest level in three weeks at $1,768. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield is rising 1% on the day, not allowing XAU/USD to preserve its bullish momentum.
Is BTC out of the ‘bearish’ woods yet?
Bitcoin price has been extremely bullish ever since July 26, when it kick-started a second bullish leg. Regardless, BTC is yet to face another hurdle that will determine if there are buyers with conviction behind the recent run-up or if it is built on weak-handed longs.
