- The PAES is an open-label Phase 3 study to further investigate the long-term graft survival in 50 highly sensitized patients who have undergone kidney transplantation after Idefirix® administration in the EU1
- The PAES is an obligation under the conditional marketing authorization for Idefirix® granted by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in August 20202
- The study will provide further important insights to the Idefirix® desensitization treatment of highly sensitized kidney transplant patients
LUND, Sweden, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hansa Biopharma AB, "Hansa" (Nasdaq Stockholm: HNSA), pioneer in enzyme technology for rare immunological conditions, announces today that the first patient has been treated in the PAES for Idefirix® as a desensitization treatment for highly sensitized people undergoing a kidney transplant.
"The European approval of Idefirix® was an important milestone for people across Europe who need a kidney transplant and yet have highly sensitized immune systems that make it more likely that their bodies will reject the donor organ," says Dr Oriol Bestard, Chair of Nephrology and Kidney Transplantation at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona and treating physician of the PAES first patient. "Although our allocation system in Spain, being amongst the World's best systems, has improved access to transplantation, also for (very) highly sensitized patients, many are still disadvantaged and in urgent need of more personalized and innovative options. We can now happily report that our patient was the first to receive an Idefirix® -enabled kidney transplant as part of this important study. I am really thankful to all in the team that has been in charge of this dificult-to-treat patient, as it requires an exquisit and coordinated management."
This open-label Phase 3 study will enroll 50 highly sensitized adult kidney transplant patients with positive crossmatch against an available deceased donor to confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of Idefirix®. The PAES is an obligation under the conditional marketing authorization for Idefirix® granted by EMA in August 2020, in order to complete a full marketing authorization for the European Union.
"Idefirix® is the first and only treatment approved to enable kidney transplantation for highly sensitized patients that provides patients access to an effective, rapid and predictable desensitization treatment whose only option is an incompatible deceased kidney organ," says Christian Kjellman, Chief Scientific Officer at Hansa Biopharma. "This truly international European study will help centers accommodate Idefirix®-enabled transplantation, alongside our launch under conditional approval, as Idefirix® becomes increasingly available to patients across Europe following positive reimbursement decisions in the region."
The PAES will enrol patients across multiple countries and centers in Europe and the study will include 50 highly sensitized and crossmatch positive patients to be treated with Idefirix®. The aim of the study is to confirm the long-term efficacy and safety of Idefirix® and the primary objective of the study is to determine the 1-year graft failure-free survival of the Idefirix® treated and transplanted patients. In addition, a total of 50-100 patients undergoing compatible kidney transplantation at the participating centers will be included and serve as a non-comparative concurrent reference cohort, with no formal comparison, to contextualize the 1-year graft failure-free survival of the Idefirix® treated patients.1
"As of 2022, 10-15% of all of kidney patients on waiting lists in the U.S. and Europe are considered highly sensitized," says Vincenza Nigro, Kidney Transplant Franchise Lead at Hansa Biopharma. "Although allocation systems and prioritization programs have improved access to transplantation for highly sensitized kidney patients, many are still disadvantaged and in urgent need of more personalized and innovative options. We must keep striving for equity to address the medical needs of all, including highly sensitized kidney patients, no matter the challenges."
Further details of the trial (EudraCT number 2021-002640-70) can be found on the EU Clinical Trials Register.

About Idefirix® (imlifidase)
Imlifidase is an enzyme derived from the bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes and has the ability to specifically target and cleave all classes of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies.3
Imlifidase is a promising new strategy for desensitization of transplant patients with donor-specific anti-HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigens) antibodies (DSAs).4 Highly sensitized patients have high levels of these preformed antibodies that can bind to the donor organ and damage the transplant.5 Once they are inactivated with imlifidase, there is a window of opportunity for the transplant to take place. By the time the body starts renewing the depleted antibodies, the patient will be receiving immunosuppressive therapy to reduce the risk of organ rejection.
The efficacy and safety of imlifidase as a pre-transplant treatment to reduce donor-specific IgG was studied in four phase 2 open-label, single-arm, six-month clinical trials.4,6,7,8
Hansa is now collecting further clinical evidence and will submit additional efficacy and safety data based on one observational follow-up study and one post-approval efficacy study. Imlifidase was reviewed as part of the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) PRIority MEdicines (PRIME) program, which supports medicines that may offer a major therapeutic advantage over existing treatments or benefit patients without treatment options.9
Imlifidase was granted conditional European Marketing Authorization from the EMA in August 2020 for the desensitization treatment of highly sensitized adult kidney transplant patients with a positive crossmatch test against an available deceased donor. The use of imlifidase should be reserved for patients who are unlikely to be transplanted under the available kidney allocation system, including prioritization programs for highly sensitized patients.3 Conditional approval allows the Agency to recommend a medicine for marketing authorization in cases where the benefit of a medicine's immediate availability to patients outweighs the risk that not all the data are available yet.
About kidney failure
Kidney disease can progress to kidney failure or End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), identified when a patient's kidney function is less than 15%.10 ESRD poses a significant health burden, affecting nearly 2.5 million patients worldwide.7 A kidney transplant is the treatment of choice for suitable patients with ESRD because it offers improved survival and quality of life benefits compared to long-term dialysis. There are approximately 80,000 kidney patients on transplant waiting lists across the European Union.11

SINGAPORE, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore-based SCG Cell Therapy Pte Ltd ("SCG") announced that U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for SCG101, an investigational T-cell receptor (TCR) T cell therapy for patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) related liver cancer. This clearance initiates the advancement of SCG101 Phase 1/2 clinical trials globally.
This announcement follows SCG's previous IND approvals from China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in March 2022 and Singapore Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in May 2022. This further establishes SCG101 as the first TCR-T cell therapy product approved for clinical trial across the U.S, China and Singapore.
"Clearance of the IND for SCG's leading cell therapy product SCG101 across the United States and Asia is an important milestone for the company," said Frank Wang, Chief Executive Officer of SCG Cell Therapy. "We are eager to start international multicenter clinical trial that utilizes our TCR-T technologies to offer innovative treatment option for patients."
SCG101 is an autologous TCR T cell therapy that can recognize HBV-derived T cell epitope presented on the cell surface by specific major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. With the specific HLA typing, SCG101 can redirect T cells specifically against the HBV antigen not only to target and eliminate HBsAg-positive HCC cells but also to eradicate HBV cccDNA (covalently closed circular DNA).
"Our previous preclinical and clinical studies demonstrated that SCG101 has dual antiviral and antitumor activities, which is a profoundly important and exciting clinical proof-of-concept for SCG in cancer drug development," stated Ke Zhang, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of SCG Cell Therapy. "We believe tumour microenvironment is a major barrier to successful cell therapy in solid tumours. Redirecting T cells specifically against HBsAg-positive HCC cells as well as HBV-infected cells could potentially induce immunological cascades altering the tumour microenvironment and offer a path forward to better outcomes for patients."
In June 2022, SCG Cell Therapy presented interim data from an investigator-initiated clinical trial of SCG101 at the International Liver Congress (ILC) 2022, the 57th EASL Annual Meeting. The trial evaluated single-dose SCG101 in patients with advanced HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who had received at least two prior cancer therapies. The data showed significant antiviral activity and tumour control. Two out of three patients observed lesion shrinkage as well as rapid and significant serum HBsAg reduction from a baseline of 1,004.3 IU/mL and 521.6 IU/ML to 23.8 IU/mL and 9.1 IU/mL in just 28 days from SCG101 treatment and further reduced to 14.0 IU/m and 0.3 IU/mL within 60 days from treatment.
About SCG101
SCG101, an autologous T-cell receptor (TCR) T cell therapy, is an investigational cell therapy product that targets specific epitopes of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). SCG101 incorporates SCG's proprietary technology, which allows for redirecting and engineering endogenous T cells using virus-specific TCRs with high sensitivity and avidity selectively against dysfunctional infected and tumour cells. Preclinical studies of SCG101 demonstrated tumour inhibition and HBV cccDNA eradication. In 2022, SCG101 was granted clinical trial approvals by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA), China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and Singapore Health Science Authority (HSA) for the potential treatment of HBV-related HCC. The Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating SCG101 is underway.
About Liver Cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. It is estimated that more than 905,000 new cases of liver cancer and more than 830,100 deaths from the disease globally in 2020, making it one of the leading causes of cancer deaths around the world [1]. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection accounts for at least 50% of cases of HCC worldwide [2]. HCC is typically diagnosed at an advanced stage and is associated with a poor prognosis. The five-year survival rate of less than 15%.

Eid recipe: Beef Sukka
Ingredients
- 1 kg beef, with or without bone
- 1 medium or big onion, finely sliced
- 2 medium sized tomatoes, finely chopped
- 1 inch fresh ginger, finely chopped
- 8 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 3-4 green chilies, slit
- 2 tsp coriander powder
- Salt, to taste
Spices to be powdered:
- 1 tbsp fennel (mouri) seeds
- 1 stick cinnamon or cassia bark
- 5 cloves
- 5 cardamoms
- 20 peppercorns, adjusted for taste
Seasoning:
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 medium-big onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup coconut pieces, slivers
- 4 springs curry leaves
- ½-1 cup coconut oil -----
Method
Wash the beef and cut it into small pieces and transfer into a pressure cooker.
Add all the ingredients mentioned and also the spice powder to be powdered. Mix it well all together.
There is no need to add water, as the meat will release a lot of stock.
Cook the meat for two whistles, then shimmer and cook for another 12 minutes or till the meat is tender (cooking time may vary according to the tenderness of the meat).
In a large, wide based kadai, heat the coconut oil.
Add the mustard seeds and when they stop spluttering, add the onions and fry till they get golden brown in colour.
Add the curry leaves and the coconut pieces (or grated coconut) and roast on a medium heat till the pieces turn golden to get a nice aroma. This will take some time.
Now add only the cooked pieces of meat (do not add the stock) and fry on a medium high heat until the moisture evaporates.
Then top up by adding the stock in parts (2 handfuls at a time). Don't add all of the stock at one go. The meat needs to fry and the stock when added in parts, will help retain the juiciness and at the same time, it will help the meat to fry and not stew – otherwise you will have a beef curry and not a beef fry on your hands!
When the meat is fried, it will begin to turn darker and darker. When the desired consistency (thickness of gravy) is achieved, remove the kadai from the heat. You can fry until the gravy completely evaporates.
Serve hot with rice or chapatis.

PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) — A Spanish Red Cross spokesman said three people were gored and three others suffered bruises in a tense fifth bull run at Pamplona’s San Fermín Festival on Monday.
It was the first run with gorings in the festival so far this year. There are three more daily runs before it finishes Thursday.
Red Cross worker José Aldaba told Spanish National Television that one man was gored on the street, while two others were stabbed by a bull´s horn inside the bullring at the end of the run.
Television images showed one bull repeatedly tossing and butting one runner against the wooden barriers on the edge of the ring and then goring another in the back of the leg.
The spectacle lasted just over three minutes as hundreds of runners, mostly men, ran frantically ahead and alongside six fighting bulls as they charged through the cobblestone streets of this northern city.
Three other runners were treated for injuries sustained in falls during the run.
The run finishes at Pamplona’s bullring, where later in the day the bulls are killed by professional bullfighters.
Tens of thousands of foreign visitors come to the Pamplona festival that was made known to the English-speaking world through Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel “The Sun Also Rises.”
The adrenaline rush of the morning bull run is followed by partying throughout the day and night. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Spain-Three-runners-gored-in-tense-5th-Pamplona-17296358.php | 2022-07-11T07:18:49Z | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Spain-Three-runners-gored-in-tense-5th-Pamplona-17296358.php | true |

Demographics That Helped Biden Get to the White House Are Now Jumping Ship in Droves
Women and suburban voters helped drag President Joe Biden to the finish line during the 2020 election, but less than two years later, only a third of them approve of his presidency, a Reuters poll has found.
Only 34% of women and suburban voters approve of Biden’s term in office, according to Reuters.
Biden’s approval among these key demographics has steadily fallen since the summer of 2021.
Approximately 57% of women voted for Biden in 2020, garnering more female votes than Hillary Clinton in 2016.
While Biden made subsequent gains with female voters in 2020, Trump’s popularity increased only by roughly 1% compared with Biden’s 3%.
The economy was the most important issue on Americans’ minds, with crime second, according to the poll.
“This administration continues to prioritize a woke, out-of-touch agenda over the needs and interests of working mothers and families,” New York Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
“As women’s sports are under attack, energy costs skyrocket, inflation soars, and the border crisis rages on, the New Yorkers I represent have simply had enough of Joe Biden’s complete lack of leadership and his utter incompetence.”
The shift in women’s opinions on Biden follow a larger trend in American politics, as the president has an overall 36% approval rating among all demographics, according to the poll.
Even Democrats are losing faith in Biden, with only 69% of party members approving of his tenure.
“Women, no less than men, are feeling the pressure from inflation and pain at the pump,” Inez Stepman, a senior policy analyst at Independent Women’s Forum, told the DCNF.
“They’re also on the front lines of some of the cultural fights in which the Biden administration’s commitments are sharply opposed by a bipartisan majority of Americans, such as concern about gender ideology in schools and preservation of women’s sports, issues the Biden administration has doubled down on with recently released Title IX regulations.”
The female vote could have a vital impact on the next election, with 83% of women over the age of 50 not knowing how they will vote this November, according to AARP.
The report also affirmed that the economy is the most pressing issue this election season.

Fire crews use proactive measures to protect Yosemite’s renowned sequoias as blaze grows
By Elizabeth Wolfe, Amanda Watts and Michelle Watson, CNN
Yosemite National Park’s legendary giant sequoias have avoided suffering significant damage for now, officials said, as fire crews work to steer a growing wildfire away from the towering trees.
The 2,044-acre Washburn Fire doubled in size over the weekend, encroaching upon Yosemite’s Mariposa Grove, home to more than 500 giant sequoias.
“The fire has entered the grove,” response spokesperson Robbie Johnson told CNN Sunday evening. “But the good news is because of prescribed burns and clearing out material on the ground, it’s clear in the Mariposa Grove.”
The sequoias in the grove, which was established in 1857, can tower to heights above 250 feet, or more than 20 stories tall. The trees existed long before the park’s inception, with some thought to be older than 2,000 years.
Fire management teams deployed protective measures from both the ground and air over the weekend, including installing a sprinkler system to dampen the ground around the park’s 209-foot Grizzly Giant sequoia.
Fire crews also removed dead trees, logs and undergrowth near the sequoias and carried out a prescribed burn to clear a protective “doughnut hole” around the area, Johnson said.
A structure inside the perimeter, the historic Galen Clark cabin, was wrapped in protective foil, according to Scott Gediman, Yosemite’s chief spokesperson.
The cabin belonged to the first “guardian” of Yosemite, who convinced lawmakers to include Mariposa Grove as a protected area, according to the National Park Service. The grove in the Yosemite Valley was first set aside for public use by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864, eventually becoming a national park in 1890, park service records show.
The Washburn Fire was first reported July 7 and has drawn a crew of 545 fire personnel to the steep and densely wooded area, according to fire management site InciWeb. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Part of the blaze has been successfully contained at its origin point near Mariposa Grove, but the fire has continued to stretch northeast, officials say.
On Sunday, the fire was burning about five miles south of the community of Wawona, which could be threatened by “spotting,” which occurs when embers travel through the air and ignite other trees, Gediman explained. An evacuation order was issued Friday for the community and the park’s Wawona campground.
Hot and dry conditions will continue through the rest of the week, and the fire is expected to continue actively spreading, though its intensity may be reduced from scars left by previous fires, according to InciWeb.
The south entrance of the park is closed to visitors and park officials have evacuated and closed Mariposa Grove and the park’s southern Wawona area. The rest of the park remains open, but visitors should be mindful of how the ongoing fire will impact their visit, Gediman told CNN.
“Now that the south entrance — one of the busiest entrances — is closed, that means the other entrances are extremely busy. So we have long lines of vehicles waiting to get in. So we ask people to be patient,” he told CNN on Sunday.
Gediman also warned visitors of potentially unhealthy air quality in some areas of the park, including Yosemite Valley, due to the smoke.
“We’re asking people to just be responsible and if someone has, for example, respiratory issues, to be very careful in hiking and choosing their activities,” he said.
Intense fires threaten historic forests
While fire is a natural part of Yosemite’s ecosystem, severe burns like the Washburn Fire threaten the forest, according to Gediman.
“Fire is important, in fact it’s critical for giant sequoias for them to have the seeds come out of the cones, to regenerate the soil, provide habitat for animals. … But it’s these high intensity fires that are causing the damage,” he said, citing the devastating Creek Fire which consumed nearly 400,000 acres of California’s Sierra National Forest area for several months in 2020.
As the climate crisis has driven increasing numbers of wildfires in the western US in recent years, national parks have been battered by the flames, while also suffering from other extreme events like flooding and drought. Climate scientists are concerned the crisis could make the parks inaccessible for humans and uninhabitable for wildlife if global fossil fuel emissions are not significantly reduced.
Last week, officials in southern California announced the region is bracing for a particularly challenging summer and fall of wildfires, as a prolonged drought has left vegetation brittle and dry.
Fire officials in the state warn California’s fire season, which typically extends from late June through the fall, is becoming a year-round event, even as some firefighting crews experience worker shortages.

BEIJING (AP) — Streets in the gambling center of Macao were empty Monday after casinos and most other businesses were ordered to close while the Chinese territory near Hong Kong fights a coronavirus outbreak.
Residents were told to stay indoors unless they were buying food or other necessities. Authorities warned anyone violating the rules would be punished.
Casinos were ordered over the weekend to close for at least a week as the number of coronavirus cases in the territory of 700,000 people rose. On Monday, the government reported 59 new cases, bringing the total in the latest outbreak to 1,526.
Macao and Hong Kong are imitating the mainland’s “zero COVID” strategy that aims to isolated every infected person.
Casino gambling is the mainstay of Macao’s economy but it has been devastated by anti-virus travel restrictions.
This week’s order marks the first time since early 2020 at the start of the pandemic that casinos were closed outright, reflecting official urgency about containing the latest outbreak. Restrictions imposed in June limited their workforce to 10% of normal levels.
The government says it plans to test everyone in the city for the virus over the coming week. Bus drivers, people who deliver food and some others were told to be tested every day. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/macao-streets-empty-after-casinos-shut-to-fight-outbreak/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-07-11T07:27:04Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/macao-streets-empty-after-casinos-shut-to-fight-outbreak/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | false |
COVID outbreak on Coral Princess among crew and passengers as cruise ship docks in Brisbane
Queensland authorities are managing a COVID-19 outbreak on a cruise ship as the state nears 41,000 active cases.
Key points:
- Refunds are now being offered on the next Coral Princess cruise
- Queensland's Health Minister said COVID protocols were in place
- Queensland recorded another 4,804 cases on Monday, taking the number of active cases to 40,489
The outbreak among the crew and some passengers on the Coral Princess in Brisbane on Sunday led to Princess Cruises offering refunds to those booked on its next 12-day cruise.
Queensland Health Minister Yvette D'Ath said COVID-19 protocols were in place on the ship before the outbreak.
She said some passengers are isolating at home or in other accommodation, while authorities are helping the company manage infected staff on board.
"This was always going to happen just like the rest of community," Ms D'Ath said.
Comment has been sought from Princess Cruises.
Queensland recorded another 4,804 COVID-19 cases on Monday, taking the number of active cases to 40,489.
No-one has died with the virus but there are 782 people in hospital and 10 in intensive care.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said there were no plans to mandate face masks, and said it was up to individuals whether to wear one or not.
"It's people's personal responsibility," she said.
"So if you're in a crowded area, it is your choice to put on that mask."
She urged people over the age of 65 to wear masks and ensure they have had a booster, as those "ending up in hospital and tragically, the people are losing their lives, are people over 65".
With children returning to class after school holidays on Monday, the Health Minister called on parents to keep their kids home if they were sick.

Portland doctor Abraham Stephanson pleads guilty to another charge in Melbourne court
By Kyra GillespiePortland doctor Abraham Stephanson's actions have been labelled "very cynical" after another victim came forward claiming they had been defrauded by him.
Key points:
- Losses to victims from Portland doctor exceed $800,000 as new victim comes forward
- Abraham Stephanson told his victims he needed money to help treat his father's terminal cancer
- The suspended doctor sold his property to repay victims
Stephanson pleaded guilty in Melbourne County Court today to scamming a man of $20,000 for his father's cancer treatment which was instead spent on gambling in June 2020.
In total, the former Seaport Medical Centre doctor has pleaded guilty to defrauding his victims of $812,000 to support the addiction.
More than $620,000 remains outstanding to his victims, including one who died last week.
Some of Stephanson's victims had been seeing him as their physician for a decade and were in their 80s.
The court heard Stephanson, 50, used the guise of his father's diagnosis of terminal cancer to get his victims to give him money.
Stephanson did not give any of the dishonestly obtained money to his father.
Property sold to repay victims, says lawyer
Defence lawyer Abbie Roodenburg told the court Stephanson's Portland property, which had a mortgage of more than $800,000, was sold last week for $1.57 million to repay the victims.
But Ms Roodenburg said moves by the prosecution to delay the sale resulted in a decline in the property's value.
"There's barely enough to pay victims and there will be nothing left for him," she said.
"It's important to him that each victim be repaid.
"He didn't borrow money from them with the intent to leave them out of pocket."
But the prosecution argued the court could not be satisfied he borrowed the money — some of which was put towards mortgage, tax and home loan repayments — with the intent to repay them.
"Those loans were obtained not for his father but to gamble," prosecutor Jessica Fallar said.
Judge Georgiou Chambers said Stephanson breached the trust of his patients.
Stephanson's medical license has been suspended indefinitely and he will be sentenced at a later date. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-11/portland-doctor-abraham-stephanson-court-defrauding-patients/101227780 | 2022-07-11T07:43:51Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-11/portland-doctor-abraham-stephanson-court-defrauding-patients/101227780 | true |

BEIJING (AP) — Losing money due to COVID, the American casino giants that helped make Macao the “Las Vegas of Asia” face a fresh challenge: The tiny Chinese territory wants them to help reduce its reliance on gambling by paying to build theme parks and other attractions.
The former Portuguese colony stayed out of business decisions for decades and now is aligning with official strategy on China’s mainland, where foreign companies are required to help pay for the ruling Communist Party’s development ambitions, profitable or not.
The licenses of MGM Resorts, Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts and three Chinese rivals that invested billions of dollars in Macao expire in December. Rules released in early July say any that want to operate over the next 10-year period face an added requirement to invest in “non-gaming projects.”
Casinos face still more financial pressure after they were ordered to close this week, along with most other businesses, while Macao tries to control a renewed coronavirus outbreak. They already were operating under rules imposed in late June that limited the number of their employees to 10% of normal.
Financial analysts expect the Americans to get licenses, but the government says bidding is open to anyone.
The territory of 700,000 people crowded onto a 30-square-kilometer (12-square-mile) peninsula jutting into the South China Sea near Hong Kong is the biggest global center for gambling but is under pressure from Chinese President Xi Jinping’s government to rely less on its dominant industry.
Beijing wants theme parks, entertainment and conventions to attract more non-Chinese visitors. Even before tourist travel was shut down to fight COVID in 2020, the mainland was trying to limit the flow of gamblers across the fenced boundary that separates Macao from Guangdong province.
Macao is “dedicated to steering the composition of industries towards adequate diversification,” said its economy secretary, Lei Wai Nong, at a May 31 government meeting.
An added complication for the Americans: Relations between Xi’s government and Washington are strained by disputes over trade, technology, human rights and other irritants. Other companies have been hit by retaliation for U.S. tariff hikes, but Macao casinos haven’t been targeted.
“There is a high risk that at least one, if not two, may not get a new concession,” said Ben Lee, managing partner of IGamiX, a gambling industry consulting firm in Macao. “Why would 50% of such a dominant industry in Macao be ceded to foreigners, particularly Americans?”
Pressure for change comes as Macao faces growing competition for potential non-Chinese gamblers from casinos in Singapore, Malaysia and Cambodia.
Financial analysts expect MGM, Sands and Wynn to be approved for licenses due to the jobs and tax revenue they generate. Their casino hotels with thousands of employees soar above the narrow lanes of Macao’s centuries-old city center and Cotai, a strip of land reclaimed from the sea.
Still, the risk an established operator might fail to receive a license “should not be ignored,” Fitch Ratings said in a June 16 report.
The Chinese competitors include SJM Holding, part of the empire of the late Stanley Ho, a competitive ballroom dancer and Macao’s “King of Gambling,” who had a four-decade, government-granted monopoly on casinos until 2001. SJM is run by Ho’s daughter Pansy.
The others are Melco International, run by Ho’s son Lawrence, and Galaxy Entertainment Group.
The decision to allow in foreign-owned casinos in 2002 brought a flood of money to Macao, once best known in China for its Portuguese-style egg tarts, and billions of dollars in profit to their operators. In total, the six license holders operate 41 casinos.
Annual revenue from slot machines, dice tables and other games peaked at $45 billion in 2013. That was equal to $65,000 for each man, woman and child in Macao and more than triple Nevada’s 2021 revenue of $13.5 billion.
But revenue was sliding even before COVID hit in 2020. Beijing was tightening controls on how often mainland gamblers could visit. Curbs were imposed on financial transfers to Macao in a crackdown on money laundering and tax evasion.
By 2019, before the pandemic, gambling revenue had sunk 19% from 2013′s level to $36.4 billion. In 2020, it collapsed a further 80% to just $7.6 billion. Last year, revenue climbed back to $10.8 billion, but that is down 75% from 2013.
Macao’s economy, possibly the world’s most tourism-dependent, has shrunk by half since 2019, according to government data.
The government has appealed to casino operators to avoid laying off employees.
Macao's appeal is so powerful that Las Vegas Sands Corp., traditionally the biggest global casino operator by revenue, sold its namesake Las Vegas hotel in 2021 to wager everything on its six Macao properties and one in Singapore.
The company has invested an estimated $13 billion in Macao. It is in the midst of a $2.2 billion overhaul of one of its hotels.
Betting so heavily on Asia, however, meant Sands suffered the biggest COVID hit. The company reported a first-quarter loss of $478 million. Revenue fell 21% from a year earlier to $943 million.
Wynn Resorts Ltd. said revenue at its two Macao casinos fell, but its Las Vegas properties helped to limit its overall loss to $183.3 million on revenue of $953.3 million, temporarily putting it ahead of Sands.
MGM Resorts said its first-quarter revenue of $268 million in Macao was down 76% compared with the pre-outbreak level of $734 million in the first quarter of 2019.
Adding non-gambling assets would make Macao more like Las Vegas, where casinos try to attract families and non-gamblers with roller coasters, music, shopping centers, art exhibits and water parks.
SJM operates a zip line and indoor skydiving attractions. It has dropped an earlier proposal for a Hello Kitty theme park. The tycoon behind Galaxy talked about a possible theme park resembling the movie “Avatar,” but it never went ahead.
“Entertainment and theme parks are costly to run, with questionable returns,” said Lee.
Regulators need to craft investment requirements “very carefully,” Lee said. “You can’t force concessionaires to invest in theme parks and entertainment without a return unless it is in black and white.”

BERLIN (AP) — A major gas pipeline from Russia to Germany was shutting down for annual maintenance on Monday amid German concern that Russia may not resume the flow of gas as scheduled.
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline, Germany's main source of Russian gas, is scheduled to be out of action until July 21 for routine work that the operator says includes “testing of mechanical elements and automation systems.” The operator said the gas flow was reduced progressively starting at 6 a.m., German news agency dpa reported.
German officials are suspicious about Russia's intentions, particularly after Russia's Gazprom last month reduced the gas flow through Nord Stream 1 by 60%. Gazprom cited technical problems involving a gas turbine powering a compressor station that partner Siemens Energy sent to Canada for maintenance and couldn't be returned because of sanctions imposed over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Canada said over the weekend that it would allow the part to be delivered to Germany, citing the “very significant hardship” that the German economy would suffer without a sufficient gas supply.
German politicians have dismissed Russia's technical explanation for last month's reduction in gas flows through Nord Stream 1, saying the decision was a political gambit to sow uncertainty and push up prices.
German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck has said he suspects that Russia may cite “some little technical detail” as a reason not to resume gas deliveries through the pipeline after maintenance.
Germany and the rest of Europe are scrambling to reduce their dependence on Russian energy imports. Germany, which has Europe’s biggest economy, has been getting about 35% of its gas to power industry and generate electricity from Russia.
Last month, Habeck activated the second phase of Germany’s three-stage emergency plan for natural gas supplies, warning that Europe’s biggest economy faced a “crisis” and storage targets for the winter were at risk.

Girl, 8, hit by flying cell phone while riding roller coaster
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) - An 8-year-old California girl had to get stitches after riding a roller coaster. Her family says a fellow rider’s phone flew out of his hand and hit her in the forehead.
Evie Evans, 8, and her mother, Della White, started their Fourth of July weekend trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain on the Twisted Colossus roller coaster, their favorite ride.
But a fellow rider apparently didn’t follow directions to secure loose items, and his cell phone flew out of his hand while riding the roller coaster, according to Evie’s family.
The 8-year-old started screaming for help after the flying phone hit her, smacking her in the forehead between her eyes and causing a bloody wound.
“You know, we were enjoying the ride... And then, she started screaming about her eye hurting, and I thought maybe something flew in her eye, like a piece of dirt. I didn’t see what had happened. I just heard her start screaming about her eye,” White said.
When the ride ended, the family called for help from park employees, and EMTs soon arrived. Evie then went to the hospital, where she had to get 10 stitches and a CT scan.
The family claims the man allegedly responsible was more concerned about his phone than Evie’s injury.
Police say what happened to the 8-year-old is not a crime, but her father, Josh Evans, says he thinks it should be considered similar to a hit-and-run.
“If you injure someone and leave the scene, it’s the same thing to me,” he said.
Despite being season pass holders, the family says they won’t be returning to the theme park any time soon, as Evie is now too afraid to ride roller coasters.

- The activity follows approval for satellite-driven 5G non-terrestrial networks (5G NTNs) from the 3GPP global telecommunications standards' body
- 5G non-terrestrial networks could help to provide complete global 5G coverage - including areas currently not served by terrestrial networks
- This initial work in France would be to test and validate 5G NTN to gain leverage from the satellite and ICT ecosystem
STOCKHOLM, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC), French aerospace company Thales (Euronext Paris: HO), and wireless technology innovator Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCOM) are planning to take 5G out of this world and across a network of Earth-orbiting satellites.
After having each conducted detailed research, which included multiple studies and simulations, the parties plan to enter smartphone-use-case-focused testing and validation of 5G non-terrestrial networks (5G NTN).
The result could effectively mean that a future 5G smartphone could use 5G connectivity anywhere on Earth and provide complete global coverage for wideband data services, including places normally only covered by legacy satellite phone systems with limited data connectivity capabilities.
The benefits of 5G connectivity via low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites are expected to include coverage in extreme geographies or remote areas across seas, oceans and other locations where terrestrial coverage is absent.
Such widespread connectivity would boost 5G smartphone subscriber roaming service capabilities, as well as enabling global connectivity for transportation, energy and health sector 5G use cases.
The space-based network could also be used as back-up support to terrestrial networks in the event of major network outages or disasters.
The expected security capabilities of 5G NTNs mean that national government communications may be a main use case, to enhance safe and secure national security and public safety government networks.
Erik Ekudden, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Ericsson, says: "This testing and validation cooperation between Ericsson, Thales and Qualcomm Technologies will be a major milestone in the history of communications as the ultimate result could effectively mean that no matter where you are on Earth - in the middle of an ocean or the remotest forest - high-end, secure and cost-effective connectivity will be available through collaborative 5G satellite and terrestrial connectivity."
John Smee, senior vice president of engineering, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., says: "For 5G to fulfill on the promise of ubiquitous connectivity, it is imperative that it can also deliver network coverage in areas where terrestrial cellular networks do not exist, whether that be over oceans or in remote areas. Our planned research with Ericsson and Thales will kick off an important step in making this vital technology a reality. We are looking forward to what this collaboration can accomplish."
Philippe Keryer, Executive Vice-President, Strategy, Research and Technology, Thales, says:
"The deployment of 5G networks marks a step change for the telecoms industry. It is a game changer, not only in terms of business opportunities but also in the skills required to connect and protect billions of people and things. Thales is deeply involved in it through the different activities of the Group. The research collaboration with Ericsson and Qualcomm Technologies will demonstrate the belief of our companies that 5G non-terrestrial Networks will contribute to this revolution and will take network resiliency and security to the next level. "
The Cooperation
The testing and validation by Ericsson, Thales and Qualcomm Technologies following the March 2022 go-ahead by 3GPP - the global telecommunications standards' body - is intended to support non-terrestrial networks for the first time.
The goal of the testing will be to validate various technology components needed to enable 5G non-terrestrial networks, including a 5G smartphone, satellite payload and 5G network pieces on the ground.
This work also aims to validate that 5G NTN can be supported in a smartphone form factor allowing tomorrow's 5G smartphone to effectively become a satellite-phone. Initial tests will take place in an emulated space environment in France, where the majority of European space-focused industry is based.
Ericsson plans to verify a 5G virtual RAN (vRAN) stack, modified to handle radio signals propagating (what happens to 5G radio waves travelling through the vacuum of space and the Earth's atmosphere) via the fast-moving LEO satellites.
Thales plans to verify a 5G radio satellite payload suitable for deployment on LEO satellites, while Qualcomm Technologies plans to provide test phones verifying that 5G NTN can be accessed by future 5G smartphones.
Experts will use ground-based equipment to emulate the 5G radio propagation and time delays between an equipped satellite in orbit and connecting a 5G smartphone with the 5G radio access network at different places on the Earth's surface.
Ekudden adds: "While it is too early to say when any resulting 5G equipped prototype satellite could be launched into orbit for real operational use, the highly technical ground-based testing and validation work planned between Ericsson, Thales and Qualcomm Technologies is key to making it happen."
As a 3GPP-backed technology, 5G NTNs will be able to capitalize on a large ecosystem of standardized products and components. The new specification also enables the inclusion of NTN technologies in 5G devices, providing opportunities for technology vendors to easily and quickly scale 5G NTN compatibility across devices.

- TripTrends series shares the data and trends defining the global travel revival and examine the latest Trip.com data to identify the patterns emerging as travel rebounds around the world.
- Here, the series focuses on summer holiday booking trends across the European and Asian markets.
SINGAPORE, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As consumers around the world plan a summer of 'revenge travel' in the wake of easing restrictions, Trip.com data reflects the global travel recovery trend. Trip.com analysed data from their booking sites across Europe and Asia and the results show that users are more confident to book further ahead this summer, and the appetite for city breaks, staycations and short-haul trips still holds firm in a post-pandemic world.
For more in-depth analysis on the European and Asian markets, read on.
Wednesday is the most popular day to plan a trip
For summer 2022, midweek is the most popular time to plan a holiday. Trip.com data shows that, among their users, Tuesday through Thursday are the peak days for browsing flights and hotels. Wednesday is the most popular day overall for flight searches, with Saturday being the quietest.
Deciding when to take a holiday over the summer is often a tricky task for consumers, with price fluctuations, school holidays and, in Europe, the threat of cancelled flights and strikes to consider.
When looking at the summer period (June-September) across many of Trip.com's major global markets (UK, South Korea, Japan and Thailand), 1 July was the most popular day for flight departures. It was also the most popular hotel check-in date that users searched for on Trip.com's sites in the UK and Thailand.
With more popular dates expected across July, August and September, Trip.com looks forward to reviewing this data in the coming weeks and months.
Hotel booking window extended by up to a week
As Covid-19 began to affect travel in 2020, uncertainty and travel restrictions spread across the industry, customers - as expected - adapted their booking habits and moved to last-minute reservations.
Trip.com data shows that by June 2020, the booking window for hotel stays had fallen from 20.3 days (June 2019 data) to 6.1 days in Asia - highlighting the rising appetite for last-minute breaks. Flights saw a similar trend, with the booking window on Trip.com's European sites falling to 13.4 days in June 2021 - from close to double that - 22.2 - just two years prior.
However, this summer, Trip.com's data signals a return to pre-pandemic trends, with booking windows once again rising. In Europe, the window for hotel reservations in June 2022 matches the level seen in 2019 - 14.2 days; booking windows for flights extended to 14.2 days from 6.4 days of June 2021. Similar trends are evident across Asia, with booking windows for flights rising to 16.4 days in June 2022 from 6.1 days in June 2020.
This interesting finding has reflected the returning confidence of travellers to make their travel decisions earlier than when the pandemic had just started. However, it is important to note that booking windows still remain shorter than pre-pandemic in the region, as restrictions remain across many nations and districts.
Europe: city-centric summer holidays are high on the agenda
Airlines and hotel chains have reported bookings and occupancy levels rising to pre-pandemic numbers for the first time this spring, so there is plenty of cause for celebration across the travel sector.
Trip.com's European data echoes this uplift in demand. Its European sites saw an average monthly growth in traffic of around 10% between April and July, further underlining the increased demand for summer getaways.
Interestingly, where many travellers are opting for beach holidays over city breaks this year, the data shows that city-centric summer holidays are still high on the agenda for Europeans, with must-visit sites, culture, food and new experiences tempting customers to take trips to some of Europe's most enticing cities.
Trip.com's European data also reflects the vast increase in short-haul travel demand for 1 June - 31 August 2022 versus the same period in 2021. This year, although European long-haul demand is also up incredibly, short-haul trips are 27 times more popular than long haul. This proves that when it comes to summer getaways, most travellers still appear to prefer to stay closer to home when they go away.
Customers book longer trips post-pandemic
With many consumers looking to book more lavish summer holidays after two years of pent-up demand, when it comes to trip length, the figures reveal some surprising insights. Interestingly, European customers travelled for longer during 2020 than they did previously, with the average trip length in June 2019 being 6.2 days, rising to 8.8 in 2020 and back down to 6.6 in June 2022.
Asian travellers, on the other hand, are travelling for an average of 7.6 days in 2022, an increase on the average of 6.6 days in June 2019 - but a decrease on 2021's average of 8.7 days.
Local travel rebounds well in Asia
In Asia, countries and regions that have relaxed their travel restrictions have seen an impressive market performance, particularly those in southeast Asia. Overall in the APAC region, bookings increased by 21% in May and by a further 7.8% in June.
As the most popular destination among APAC users, it's no surprise that Singapore's hotel bookings saw a 42% year-on-year increase in June.
Thailand's continued popularity is a pleasant surprise. The summer months tend to be the country's low season, yet despite a slight dip in April following the Songkran Festival, bookings continue to grow throughout the season. Overall bookings have tripled when compared to June 2021, with a 17% rise in bookings compared with May this year.
Though Thailand continues to attract customers from the UK and APAC, the country's recovery has mainly been driven by domestic travel, with domestic flights in June increasing 2.6 times year-on-year.
Japan and South Korea saw sharp growth in Q2, with South Korean outbound flights increasing by 16 times year on year and June outbound flight bookings up 31% compared to May. South Korea eased travel restrictions in early June, so expect this upward trajectory in bookings to continue.
Japan also eased its border restrictions in June, with a large spike in bookings following the news. In May, flight searches to Japan on Trip.com's global sites were 7.5 times as popular when compared to the same period in 2021.
Summary
This summer, as travel recovery gains momentum, travellers' confidence to book their trips further ahead have gradually returned, while short-haul travel remains the global holiday king. Despite the enduring summer holiday beach travel trend, city breaks continue to attract customers from around the world. As airport strikes and travel chaos in Europe continues to impact customers' ability to get away, Trip.com plans to further analyse the sector at the end of this popular travel period.

Ciara, Lupita Nyong'o, Vanessa and Natalia Bryant dazzle at star-studded Dolce & Gabbana fashion show in front of the Cathedral of Syracuse in Siracusa, Sicily
Founded back in 1985, Dolce & Gabbana have always had a knack for attracting some of the biggest stars and celebrities to its fashion shows.
And over the weekend the Italian luxury fashion house didn't disappoint once again for its 10 year anniversary celebration of Alta Moda in front of the Cathedral of Syracuse in Siracusa, Sicily.

The star were out: It was a star-studded affair when Dolce & Gabbana its 10 year anniversary celebration of Alta Moda in front of the Cathedral of Syracuse in Siracusa, Sicily on Saturday
Alta Moda was launched in 2012, inspired by Giovanni Battista Giorgini's efforts to promote Italian fashion and brands abroad Made in Italy.
Over the years, the concept behind the project's idea of couture was to pay a tribute to the Italian domestic artisanship in all its expressions and to its tailoring tradition.
Since its first runway show, Dolce & Gabbana has presented new collections discovering renowned Italian landmarks like the Cathedral of Syracuse that was used for Saturday's anniversary show.
Gold and white appeared to be one of the featured colors worn by the many different celebrities on hand for the event.

Jump to the music: The singer and actress posted a fun video that used her song Jump to showcase her family, who each grabbed towards the camera when the word 'Jump' came up in the song
Ciara exemplified the color theme in a spaghetti-strap gown that was almost predominantly gold, while the design hugged her figure like the shape of a mermaid.
She accessorized with an assortment of gold bracelets and earrings, and had her raven tresses styled long, but pulled back off her face with a part on the right.
Afterwards, the singer and actress posted a number of images shot at the event on her Instagram page, including a fun video that used her song Jump to showcase her family, who each grabbed towards the camera when the word 'Jump' came up in the song.
Sienna and Future jumped into the mix and took part in the video that saw each family member jump towards the camera with the title word was sung
Family colors: The new Denver Broncos quarterback went with a shiny white suit while their son Win followed older brother Future and wore gold with white

Wilson, who's a superstar quarterback with the NFL's Denver Broncos, could be seen playing along to the concept of the video dressed in an ultra-elegant white suit white while holding on to one-year-old son Win.

Along with the attention she received with her hair, the 12 Years A Slave star showed off her fit figure in a blue, yellow and gold gown that had a slit on the left to allow her to flaunt her gams at a moments notice.

'Siracusa is a special place for us,' Gabbana explained before the show, as reported by the National News, adding, 'It is in the most southern part of Sicily, in front of Africa. I love the feeling, I love the mood, I love the stones, the colors, the people.'
To help set up the mood, ahead of the Alta Moda presentation, there was a re-enactment of the classic Italian opera Cavalleria rusticana from the late 1800s by Pietro Mascagni that was performed on a catwalk set up in front of the famed cathedral.

Family matters: Mom and daughter also took part in an impromptu photoshoot on the steps in front of the cathedral
The idea was to create an experience that was best representative of the Dolce & Gabba DNA.
The new collection has been described as heartfelt love letter to the Sicilian woman, which has been part of the brand inspiration.
This time around there was a move away from its signature prints and vibrant colors, and replaced almost entirely with black pieces.
'If you ask someone, in their imagination, what the Sicilian woman wears, it is black,' said Gabbana.
In all, the new collection consists of 106, that were represented by the many models who first appeared at the top of a set of step in front of the cathedral.
Curves: Vanessa's animal print number hugged her womanly curves while highlighter her ample assets
Mini train: Natalia, 19, had her black floral number flow a couple of feet behind her
Anticipation: Mother and daughter flashed big beaming smiles as they await the fashion show and all of its dramatics
In all, the new collection is said to consist of 106 outfits that were modeled by an array of stunning models.
They started near the top of the stairs in front of the cathedral and made their way in front of the celebrity guests.
Launched more than 35 years ago, the Dolce & Gabbana brand saw its revenues top around $500 million by the end of the 1990s, which eventually reached to $633 million by 2003.

Girl, 8, hit by flying cell phone while riding roller coaster
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (KABC) - An 8-year-old California girl had to get stitches after riding a roller coaster. Her family says a fellow rider’s phone flew out of his hand and hit her in the forehead.
Evie Evans, 8, and her mother, Della White, started their Fourth of July weekend trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain on the Twisted Colossus roller coaster, their favorite ride.
But a fellow rider apparently didn’t follow directions to secure loose items, and his cell phone flew out of his hand while riding the roller coaster, according to Evie’s family.
The 8-year-old started screaming for help after the flying phone hit her, smacking her in the forehead between her eyes and causing a bloody wound.
“You know, we were enjoying the ride... And then, she started screaming about her eye hurting, and I thought maybe something flew in her eye, like a piece of dirt. I didn’t see what had happened. I just heard her start screaming about her eye,” White said.
When the ride ended, the family called for help from park employees, and EMTs soon arrived. Evie then went to the hospital, where she had to get 10 stitches and a CT scan.
The family claims the man allegedly responsible was more concerned about his phone than Evie’s injury.
Police say what happened to the 8-year-old is not a crime, but her father, Josh Evans, says he thinks it should be considered similar to a hit-and-run.
“If you injure someone and leave the scene, it’s the same thing to me,” he said.
Despite being season pass holders, the family says they won’t be returning to the theme park any time soon, as Evie is now too afraid to ride roller coasters.

India's top court holds businessman Vijay Mallya guilty of contempt
By Suchitra Mohanty
NEW DELHI, July 11 (Reuters) - India's Supreme Court sentenced tycoon Vijay Mallya on Monday to four months in jail for refusing to disclose his assets after defaulting on a loan of 90 billion rupees ($1.13 billion) since the collapse of his defunct Kingfisher Airlines.
The businessman, with interests ranging from aviation to liquor, is now in Britain and India has made efforts to extradite him. Mallya has refused to appear before the court, despite several summons.
The court found him guilty of contempt for not obeying its orders and imposed a fine of 2,000 rupees.
Mallya's lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment.
Lawyers for the lenders have said Mallya transferred $40 million to members of his family even though the bank loan remains unpaid.
The court has also set a four-week deadline for Mallya and his family to deposit $40 million, along with the accrued interest, or face further legal action.
Mallya, who also co-owned the Formula One motor racing team Force India until 2019, has denied all wrongdoing and has previously said the case against him is politically motivated.

A year after devastating floods, Belgian victims still in trauma
By Clement Rossignol and Bart Biesemans
TROOZ, BELGIUM, July 11 (Reuters) - A year after floods devastated his town in the east of Belgium, 70-year-old retired welder Mario Bonelli remains traumatised by the event and fellow townsfolk are still repairing their ravaged homes.
The floods in eastern Belgium last July were the most destructive in living memory as streets turned into rivers, roads were ripped up and houses caved in, shocking a wealthy country that had, by and large, escaped the worst effects of climate change.
The floods caused more than 40 fatalities in Belgium alone. In neighbouring Germany, where flooding was followed by severe storms, around 170 people lost their lives.
The Belgian municipality of Trooz, with just over 8,000 inhabitants, was one of the hardest hit.
"We are still traumatised. When there are rainstorms, we are afraid of having water (rising) up to that level. There have been deaths, we found a body there three weeks ago," Bonelli said.
Former car mechanic Jose-Antonio Chacon-Ruiz, 62, said his insurer has yet to pay his claims even as his house repair costs have ballooned.
"Unfortunately for me, the company (in charge of repairs) has gone bankrupt. I paid over 70,000 euros and this is going nowhere," he said.
Trooz Mayor Fabien Beltran said his office was trying to help people recover from the trauma, and was employing two full-time psychologists.
"There are still many traces of last year's crisis," he said.

PAMPLONA, Spain — A Spanish Red Cross spokesman said three people were gored and three others suffered bruises in a tense fifth bull run at Pamplona's San Fermín Festival on Monday.
It was the first run with gorings in the festival so far this year. There are three more daily runs before it finishes Thursday.
Red Cross worker José Aldaba told Spanish National Television that one man was gored on the street, while two others were stabbed by a bull´s horn inside the bullring at the end of the run.
Television images showed one bull repeatedly tossing and butting one runner against the wooden barriers on the edge of the ring and then goring another in the back of the leg.
The spectacle lasted just over three minutes as hundreds of runners, mostly men, ran frantically ahead and alongside six fighting bulls as they charged through the cobblestone streets of this northern city.
Three other runners were treated for injuries sustained in falls during the run.
The run finishes at Pamplona's bullring, where later in the day the bulls are killed by professional bullfighters.
Tens of thousands of foreign visitors come to the Pamplona festival that was made known to the English-speaking world through Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."
The adrenaline rush of the morning bull run is followed by partying throughout the day and night.

CHASIV YAR, Ukraine (AP) — Dozens of Ukrainian emergency workers labored Sunday to pull people out of the rubble after a Russian rocket attack smashed into apartment buildings in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 15 people. More than 20 people were believed still trapped.
The strike late Saturday destroyed three buildings in a residential quarter of the town of Chasiv Yar, inhabited mostly by people who work in nearby factories.
On Sunday evening, rescuers were able to remove enough of the bricks and concrete to retrieve a man who had been trapped for almost 24 hours. Rescuers laid him on a stretcher and he was quickly taken to a hospital.
Ukraine’s Emergency Services said the latest rescue brought to six the number of people dug out of the rubble. Earlier in the day, they made contact with three others still trapped alive beneath the ruins.
Pavlo Kyrylenko, governor of the Donetsk region that includes Chasiv Yar, said an estimated 24 people were believed still trapped, including a 9-year-old child.
Cranes and excavators worked alongside rescue teams to clear away the ruins of one building, its walls completely shorn off by the impact of the strike. The thud of artillery on the nearby front line resonated just a few miles away, making some workers flinch and others run for cover.
Valerii, who gave only his first name, was desperately waiting to hear news of his sister and 9-year-old nephew, who lived in the collapsed building and had not answered his calls since Saturday night.
“Now I’m waiting for a miracle” he said, as he stood before the ruins and started to pray, hands clasped together tightly.
“We do not have good expectations, but I am avoiding such thoughts,” he said.
Kyrylenko said the town of about 12,000 was hit by Uragan rockets that are fired from truck-borne systems. Chasiv Yar is 20 kilometers (12 miles) southeast of Kramatorsk, a city that is a major target of Russian forces as they grind westward.
However, later Sunday, Viacheslav Boitsov, deputy chief of emergency service in the Donetsk Region, told the Associated Press that four shells hit the neighborhood and they were likely Iskander missiles.
Residents said they heard at least three explosions and that many people were badly wounded in the blasts. A group of neighbors sat Sunday in a courtyard quietly discussing who was wounded and who was still missing.
“There was an explosion, all the windows blew out and I was thrown to the ground, said 45-year-old Oksana, who gave only her first name. She was in her third-floor apartment when the missiles struck.
“My kitchen walls and balcony have completely vanished,” she added, struggling to hold back tears. ”I called my children to tell them I was alive.”
Irina Shulimova, a 59-year-old retiree, recalled the terror. “We didn’t hear any incoming sound, we just felt the impact. I ran to hide in the corridor with my dogs. Everyone I knew started calling me to find out what had happened. I was shaking like a leaf,” she said.
Front doors and balconies were torn apart in the blast, and heaps of twisted metal and bricks lay on the ground. Crushed summer cherries were smeared on shattered window panes.
A 30-year-old technology worker named Oleksandr said his mother was among those injured in the explosion.
“Thank God I wasn’t injured, it was a miracle,” he said, touching the crucifix around his neck.
Although the home he shares with his mother is now shattered, he said he doesn’t plan to leave the neighborhood.
“I only have enough money to support myself for another month. Lots of people are fed up already of refugees coming from the east — no one will feed or support us there. It’s better to stay,” said Oleksandr, who declined to give his surname.
Another resident who gave only his first name, Dima, had lived for more than 20 years on the ground floor of one of the buildings that was hollowed out in the attack. He walked back and forth across the rubble.
“As you can see, my home is lost,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the Russians of intentionally targeting civilians.
“Anyone who orders such strikes, everyone who carries them out in ordinary cities, in residential areas, kills absolutely consciously,” he said in an address to Ukrainians on Sunday night. “After such hits, they won’t be able to say that they didn’t know or didn’t understand something.”
Saturday’s attack was just the latest in a series of strikes against civilian areas in the east, even as Russia repeatedly claims it is only hitting targets of military value.
Twenty-one people were killed earlier this month when an apartment building and recreation area came under rocket fire in the southern Odesa region. Another at least 19 people died when a Russian missile hit a shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk in late June.
There was no comment about the Chasiv Yar attack at a Russian Defense Ministry briefing on Sunday.
The Donetsk region is one of two provinces along with Luhansk that make up the Donbas region, where separatist rebels have fought Ukrainian forces since 2014. Last week, Russia captured the city of Lysychansk, the last major stronghold of Ukrainian resistance in Luhansk.
Russian forces are raising “true hell” in the Donbas, despite assessments they were taking an operational pause, Luhansk governor Serhiy Haidai said Saturday.
After the seizure of Lysychansk, some analysts predicted that Moscow’s troops likely would take some time to rearm and regroup.
But “so far there has been no operational pause announced by the enemy. He is still attacking and shelling our lands with the same intensity as before,” Haidai said.
He later said Ukrainian forces had destroyed some ammunition depots and barracks used by the Russians.

AP source: Wayne Rooney agrees to coach DC United
By STEPHEN WHYNO
AP Sports Writer
Wayne Rooney has agreed to coach D.C. United in Major League Soccer, a person with knowledge of the move said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Sunday because the deal had not been announced. The longtime English soccer star played for the MLS club in 2018 and 2019. Once visa paperwork is complete, Rooney is set to replace interim coach Chad Ashton, who replaced Hernan Losada earlier this season. D.C. United is tied with Chicago for the fewest points in the 28-team league with a record of 5-10-2. United lost 7-0 on Friday night at the Philadelphia Union, matching the MLS record for largest margin of defeat. | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/10/ap-source-wayne-rooney-agrees-to-coach-dc-united-2/ | 2022-07-11T08:54:57Z | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/10/ap-source-wayne-rooney-agrees-to-coach-dc-united-2/ | false |
Bryce McGowens shines in NBA Summer League debut
GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - In his NBA Summer League debut, former Wren High School and Legacy Early College star Bryce McGowens had a sensational outing.
McGowens led the Charlotte Hornets in scoring with 17 points. He also chipped in six rebounds and five assists. McGowens also shot the ball well. He connected on 6/13 shots, including 3/6 from three-point territory.
Unfortunately, McGowens’ strong performance didn’t result in the Hornets winning. They lost 96-84 against the Indiana Pacers.
McGowens was taken by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the 40th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He was then traded to the Charlotte Hornets.
About a week ago, McGowens inked a two-way deal with the Hornets, meaning he will split time between the NBA and the Hornets G-League team, the Greensboro Swarm.
The NBA Summer League runs from July 7th-17th. The NBA regular season starts on October 18, 2022.

WASHINGTON — Congress is returning to Washington this week for what is expected to be a consequential few weeks of negotiations that could impact everything from the price you pay for prescription drugs to the cost of electric cars.
THE PLAN
Democrats came to Washington in January of 2021 with wide-ranging ambitions.
There were plans for changes to community college, child care, and prescription drugs — to name a few.
While infrastructure reform passed, progressives, for the most part, have been unable to get through the Senate many of their big ideas.
Remember Build Back Better last year?
It was a massive policy bill that Democrats wanted to pass.
The legislation failed, however, because Democrats in the Senate weren't unanimously supporting the idea.
Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) was concerned about too much spending and inflation.
However, it appears as though Democratic leadership has convinced Senator Manchin to support something, and as a result, they will try to pass significant policy changes again.
The plan for the moment is to advance a scaled-down version of Build Back Better, perhaps sometime this month.
RETURN OF RECONCILIATION
Get ready to hear more about a word known as "reconciliation" in the coming days.
Under standard Senate rules, 60 votes are needed to defeat the filibuster and pass legislation.
However, the reconciliation process allows for some financial bills to pass the Senate with a simple majority vote.
Democrats have that if they all stick together in the Senate because the vice president breaks any ties.
Very few details on the proposed legislation have been released. Still, there is early agreement among Democrats to close tax loopholes for those making more than $400,000 by forcing new taxes on incomes from certain "pass-through" businesses.
According to reports, the change would make Medicare solvent until at least 2031.
The bill also includes, for the moment, prescription drug reform.
That policy proposal might limit how much a drug's price can be increased from year to year.
It could also lower seniors' prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies for the first time.
We are told the legislation could include other ideas, too, like electric car tax credits, just as long as every Democrat in the Senate supports it and is paid for.
New child tax credits or significant changes to child care policy are not expected to be included.
President Biden and congressional leaders are facing one major hurdle: the election is quickly approaching.
The ticking clock means Democrats won't have much time to negotiate and pass this. August recess and the campaign trail are looming.
Not to mention, Democrats are also trying this month to pass a bipartisan bill meant to boost computer chip manufacturing in the United States.
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who leads Republicans in the Senate, has said he wouldn't support that computer chip legislation anymore if Democrats go ahead with their reconciliation bill. | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national-politics/can-democrats-pass-a-reconciliation-bill-this-month | 2022-07-11T09:08:14Z | https://www.wrtv.com/news/national-politics/can-democrats-pass-a-reconciliation-bill-this-month | true |

BEIJING (AP) — China’s auto sales rose by a lackluster 3.4% over a year earlier in the first half of 2022 as anti-virus controls kept buyers away from dealerships, but demand in the industry’s biggest global market rebounded in June, an industry group reported Monday.
Sales in January-June rose to 10.4 million, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. June sales jumped 41.2% over a year earlier to 2.2 million after controls that shut down Shanghai and other industrial centers were eased.
Total vehicle sales, including trucks and buses, fell 6.6% over a year earlier in the first half to 12.1 million, CAAM reported. Total sales in June rose 23.8% to 2.5 million.
The decline in total sales was less severe than an estimate of a 7.1% contraction released Friday by CAAM based on data from major brands. Growth in June sales was stronger than the earlier 20.9% estimate.
China’s auto sales have suffered from consumer jitters over an economic downturn and anti-virus controls imposed starting in late March.
Production has been hampered by shortages of processor chips and disruption of global supply chains.
The downturn squeezes cash flow for global automakers that are looking to China to drive sales growth and are spending billions of dollars to meet government sales quotas for electric vehicles.
Sales of electric and gasoline-electric SUVs and sedans rose 130% over a year ago in June to 596,000, according to CAAM. Sales in the first half of 2020 rose 115% to 2.6 million, accounting for half the global market. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/china-auto-sales-rebound-in-june-after-weak-first-half/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | 2022-07-11T09:41:44Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/china-auto-sales-rebound-in-june-after-weak-first-half/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_business | true |
Plymouth Tory MP Johnny Mercer has ruled himself out of the race to be new Conservative leader -saying he is not good enough for the top job - as the battle for Number 10 heats up with 11 candidates already announced and more likely to follow. The Moor View MP has taken to social media to announce his non-candidature and said he will soon decide who to back.
More Tory MPs threw their hat into the ring during the weekend, with Home Secretary Priti Patel expected to become number 12 in the scrap to succeed deposed Boris Johnson as Conservative supremo and thereby becoming PM. But Mr Mercer stressed he would not be among the runners and riders though he said he would ensure all candidates would committee to support the UK’s veterans - something the Plymouth politician and former army officer has made a central part of his campaigning.
Writing on Twitter Mr Mercer said: “Morning. Of course I’m not standing to be the next Prime Minister - I’m not good enough. I will in due course endorse a candidate. For now I am ensuring none of them resile from our current commitments on veterans. More later in the week.”

Asked whether there should be a General Election, Mr Mercer said: "No I don’t think so. The new leader needs to come in and talk about what is the offer to the country. It is an incredibly challenging time with the cost of the living, fuel and energy prices, that is what people are looking for answers on."
Some of Mr Mercer’s Twitter followers, however, were disappointed and thought the newly appointed minister for veterans’ affairs would have made a good leader. Stephen Spencer said Mr Mercer’s stance revealed his integrity and Fabric Leaning urged him to “give it a go”.
Roger Keating said: “I don't vote for the Tories, but you're far better than any of those seeking election.” Samba Penguin tweeted: “Ironically that attitude probably means you're the right person for the job.”

Fran wrote on Twitter: “By you saying that makes you the greatest candidate - you would be a great PM because you have humility.” Chris the Seadog tweeted: “I suspect the reality is that you’re actually head and shoulders above the rest.”
On the day of Mr Johnson’s resignation, Plymouth’s other Tory MP Sir Gary Streeter, a critic of the leader for some months, said he would not say who he will support in the scrap to be premier, but thinks those in the frame would include trade minister Penny Mordaunt, newly promoted Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi and former Chancellor Rishi Sunak. He said: “Rishi is the smartest guy we have - but it takes a lot more than that to be a successful PM. I don’t have a favourite but there are people who I could see doing the job. That includes Rishi, and Nadhim Zahawi, who has a chance, and Penny Mordaunt is strong and capable.”
In addition to those three, other MPs who have announced they are standing for the Conservative leadership are: Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, Attorney General Suella Braverman, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, former health secretary Sajid Javid , Tom Tugendhat, Jeremy Hunt, Kemi Badenoch and Rehman Chishti.

LONDON — Candidates to replace Boris Johnson as Britain’s prime minister are scattering tax-cutting promises to their Conservative Party electorate, as party officials prepare Monday to quickly narrow the crowded field of almost a dozen candidates.
The new leader will be chosen in a two-stage election, in which the 358 Conservative lawmakers reduce the race to two candidates through a series of elimination votes. The final pair will be put to a postal ballot of all party members across the country. Under Britain’s parliamentary system the next party leader will automatically become prime minister without the need for a general election.
The party’s 1922 Committee, which runs leadership contests, is set to elect a new executive on Monday, which will lay out rules for the contest. The committee wants to complete the parliamentary stage of the election by the time lawmakers break for the summer on July 21. That would mean a summer second round with a new leader in place by the time the House of Commons returns on Sept. 5.
One key decision by the committee will be how many nominations a candidate will need to get onto the first ballot. At the last leadership contest in 2019 it was eight, but the threshold is expected to be 20 or more this time — a move that could eliminate some contenders immediately.
Many Conservatives are wary of leaving Johnson in office for too long, concerned a lame-duck leader is the last thing the country needs with war raging in Ukraine, food and energy price increases driving inflation to levels not seen in decades, and growing labor unrest. Some also worry Johnson — brought down by scandals over money, rule-breaking and his handling of sexual misconduct allegations against lawmakers — could do mischief even as a caretaker prime minister.
In the wide-open leadership contest, contenders are striving to set themselves apart from the perceived front-runner, former Treasury chief Rishi Sunak, who so far has the backing of more than three dozen lawmakers.
Many have repudiated tax increases Sunak introduced to shore up U.K. finances battered by the coronavirus pandemic and Brexit — a 1.25% income-tax rise for millions of workers, and an increase in corporation tax next year from 19% to 25%. Most candidates say they will scrap one or both.
“I want to cut all taxes,” said Hunt, who pledged to slash corporation tax to 15%. “The Treasury’s own numbers say that you’ll get half the money back that you invest in cutting corporation tax because of increased business activity.”
Truss said she would stat cutting taxes “from day one,” and Tugendhat said he would “lower taxes across every aspect of society.”
Sunak, whose resignation on Tuesday helped topple Johnson, has cast himself as the candidate of fiscal probity, and warned rivals not to tell the public “comforting fairy-tales” that will make the country worse off in the long run.
The internal party battle has already turned fractious, with rivals criticizing Sunak’s record as finance minister, and Zahawi, the current Treasury chief, having to fend off claims he was being investigated over his tax affairs.
Zahawi said he was being “smeared” and said he was unaware of any investigation by the tax office or other bodies.
“I’m not aware of this. I’ve always declared my taxes — I’ve paid my taxes in the U.K.,” he told Sky News.
Oddsmakers say Sunak is likely to be one of the final two contenders, but the race is likely to be highly unpredictable. Both Tugendhat, a former soldier on the party’s center-left, and right-wing rising star Badenoch have secured big-name support and could surprise more experienced rivals.
Johnson clung to power for months despite accusations that he was too close to party donors, that he protected supporters from bullying and corruption allegations, and that he misled Parliament about government office parties that broke COVID-19 lockdown rules.
He was fined by police for attending one of the parties — the first prime minister ever sanctioned for breaking the law in office — but went on to survive a no-confidence vote last month in Parliament, even though 41% of Conservative lawmakers tried to oust him.
But Johnson was brought down by one scandal too many — this one involving his appointment of a politician who had been accused of sexual misconduct.

Ukraine says it recaptured village in occupied Kherson region
KYIV, July 11 (Reuters) - Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Ivanivka in the southern Russian-occupied region of Kherson, a Ukrainian infantry brigade said on Monday.
"The only thing left of the Russian occupiers in Ivanivka are horrible memories and 'dead' military equipment," it said.
Reuters could not immediately confirm the claim. There is more than one village of Ivanivka in the area. One of them is located along the front line. (Reporting by Aleksandar Vasovic Writing by Tom Balmforth Editing by Catherine Evans)

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The government on the small Faeroe Islands is proposing an annual catch limit of 500 white-sided dolphins on a provisional basis for 2022 and 2023, after last year's slaughter of more than 1,400 dolphins in a day led to international condemnation and local criticism.
The hunt in the North Atlantic islands is part of a four-century-old traditional drive of sea mammals into shallow water, where they are killed for their meat and blubber. It is not commercial and is authorized, but environmental activists claim it is cruel. Even people in the Faeroes who defend the traditional practice worried that the hunt would draw unwanted attention because it was far larger than previous ones and seemingly took place without the usual organization.
On Sunday, the government said that the capping measure was “in response to the unusually large catch” on Sept. 14, 2021. It added that the proposal is expected to be implemented as an executive order by July 25.
“Aspects of that catch were not satisfactory, in particular the unusually large number of dolphins killed,” the government said in a statement. This “is unlikely to be a sustainable level of catch on a long-term annual basis.”
Local media have reported that there were too many dolphins and too few people on the beach to slaughter them, sparking fear the slaughter would revive the discussion about the sea mammal drives and put a negative spin on the ancient tradition of the 18 rocky islands located halfway between Scotland and Iceland. They are semi-independent and part of the Danish realm.
Islanders usually kill up to 1,000 sea mammals — chiefly pilot whales — annually, according to data kept by the Faeroe Islands. In 2020, that included only 35 white-sided dolphins. White-sided dolphins and pilot whales are not endangered species.
Each year, islanders drive herds of the mammals into shallow waters. A blow-hole hook is used to secure the beached animals and their spine and main artery leading to the brain are severed with knives. The drives are regulated by law and the meat and blubber are shared on a community basis.
The Faeroese government said it “continues to base its policies and management measures on the right and responsibility of (its) people to utilize the resources of the sea sustainably. This also includes marine mammals, such as pilot whales and dolphins.”

KHARKIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian missiles pounded Ukraine’s second-largest city early on Monday, local administrator said, describing the attacks as “absolute terrorism.”
Governor of the Kharkiv region Oleh Syneihubov said on Telegram that the Russian forces only hit civilian targets in three missile strikes on the northeastern city.
“All (three were launched) exclusively on civilian objects, this is absolute terrorism!” Syneihubov said.
One of the missiles destroyed a school, another a residential building while the third landed near warehouse facilities, said Syneihubov.
He said latest reports were that three people died and 28 were wounded in the attacks.
The strikes came just two days after a Russian rocket attack smashed into apartment buildings in eastern Ukraine, killing at least 19 people. A total of eight people have been rescued, emergency officials said.
The strike late Saturday destroyed three buildings in a residential quarter of the town of Chasiv Yar, inhabited mostly by people who work in nearby factories.
Russian attacks in the east also have continued, with the governor of the Luhansk region saying on Monday that the shelling hit settlements on the administrative border with the Donetsk region.
Russian forces carried out five missile strikes and four massive rounds of shelling in the are, Serhiy Haidai said.
The Luhansk and Donetsk regions together make up Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland known as Donbas, where separatist rebels have fought Ukrainian forces since 2014.
Russia earlier this month captured the last major stronghold of Ukrainian resistance in Luhansk, the city of Lysychansk.
After the seizure of Lysychansk some analysts predicted Moscow’s troops likely would take some time to rearm and regroup but Ukrainian officials said there has been no pause in attacks.
The British military assessed that Russian troops weren’t getting needed breaks.
The Defense Ministry wrote on Twitter on Monday that online videos suggested at least one tank brigade in the war was “mentally and physically exhausted” as they had been on active combat duty since the start of the war in February.
The British said: “The lack of scheduled breaks from intense combat conditions is highly likely one of the most damaging of the many personnel issues the Russian (Ministry of Defense) is struggling to rectify amongst the deployed force.”
Also on Monday, the main Russian gas pipeline to Germany began a 10-day closure for maintenance amid European fears Moscow may not turn the flow back on after its completion.

DUBLIN and ALLEGAN, Mich., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company plc (NYSE: PRGO), a leading global provider of Consumer Self-Care Products, today announced that HRA Pharma, a Perrigo company, has submitted its application to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill in the United States.
The company has applied for an Rx-to-OTC switch for Opill®, a progestin-only daily birth control pill (also referred to as a mini pill or non-estrogen pill). If approved, this would be the first daily birth control pill available OTC without a prescription in the U.S.
"This historic application marks a groundbreaking moment in contraceptive access and reproductive equity in the U.S.," said Frédérique Welgryn, Chief Strategic Operations and Innovation Officer at HRA Pharma. "More than 60 years ago, prescription birth control pills in the U.S. empowered women to plan if and when they want to get pregnant. Moving a safe and effective prescription birth control pill to OTC will help even more women and people access contraception without facing unnecessary barriers."
Almost half of the more than 6.1 million pregnancies in the U.S. each year are unintended1. Access to a range of methods and ways to access contraception that meet people's needs will increase the likelihood of using effective birth control methods.
Major medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Family Physicians, have expressed support for moving birth control pills OTC.
Opill® consists of 0.075 mg norgestrel and has been used to prevent pregnancy in millions of women in the U.S. since it was FDA approved in 1973. Nearly fifty years of use and scientific evidence show that progestin-only pills like Opill® are effective at preventing pregnancy and are safe 2,3 for most women to use. As a daily regular contraceptive, Opill® is to be used pre-conception to be effective at preventing pregnancy.
Nearly one-third of adult U.S. women who have ever tried to obtain a prescription or refill for contraceptive pill, patch, or ring reported difficulties doing so4.
Removing the prescription requirement with Opill® would improve access to a contraceptive method that is well tolerated and notably more effective at preventing pregnancy than all current methods available OTC.
"As a doctor, I am dedicated to empowering people to make decisions about pregnancy prevention. For many, a birth control pill may be the best option for them but requiring a prescription is an unnecessary obstacle that can put it out of reach," said obstetrician-gynecologist, Melissa J. Kottke, MD, MPH, MBA. "Removing the prescription requirement for a progestin-only birth control pill will be a historic advancement for pregnancy prevention and a remarkable achievement in community public health."

These and other important factors, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as well as the Company's subsequent filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

93 Properties Closed Year-to-Date, Growing Necessity Retail Portfolio to $5.3 Billion of Real Estate
Grocery-Anchored Centers Grow to 22%1 of Multi-Tenant Portfolio, 57% of Straight-Line Rent1 Derived From Properties in Sunbelt States
NEW YORK, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Necessity Retail REIT, Inc. (Nasdaq: RTL) ("RTL" or the "Company") announced today that the Company, through its operating partnership, completed the final acquisition from the previously announced agreement to acquire a portfolio of 81 Power, Anchored and Grocery Centers from certain subsidiaries of CIM Real Estate Finance Trust, Inc. for $1.3 billion including debt assumed of $356 million. The Company also announced that year-to-date it has acquired 93 properties for a total of $1.4 billion. The acquired properties total 10.2 million square feet and were acquired at a cash cap rate of 7.24%2 and a weighted-average capitalization rate of 8.60%3.
"We are excited to complete the $1.3 billion shopping center acquisition which, along with other acquisitions completed this year, grows our portfolio to over 1,050 properties and $5.3 billion of assets located where America shops," said Michael Weil, CEO of RTL. "The transactions we have completed so far this year have deliberately focused our portfolio on necessity retail assets in suburban markets, including adding 13 grocery-anchored shopping centers, while decreasing our exposure to office assets to 1% of our straight-line rent. The seamless integration of these properties into our portfolio has increased tenant and geographic diversification and grown occupancy in our open-air shopping center segment, providing a strong defense against headwinds in the broader economy. These transactions had an immediate positive impact on our results in the first quarter and we believe that the full accretive effect of this year's acquisitions will continue to be realized over the balance of the year as we focus on continuing the strong leasing activity we've seen year to date."
1 Represents the RTL portfolio as of and for the quarter ending March 31, 2022, and the remaining 25 properties that were yet to be closed as of March 31, 2022, and were "probable" acquisitions as of the date. Information included in the pro forma presentation herein regarding these probable acquisitions is as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2021.
2 Cash cap rate is calculated by dividing this annualized cash rental income the properties are projected to generate during the first year of ownership (before debt service and depreciation and after projected fixed costs and variable costs) by the purchase price of the properties, excluding acquisition costs. Weighted average cash cap rates are based on square feet.
3 Capitalization rate is calculated by dividing the annualized straight-lined rental income the properties are projected to generate during its first year of ownership (before debt service and depreciation and after projected fixed costs and variable costs) by the purchase price of the property, excluding acquisition costs. The weighted-average capitalization rate is based upon square feet.
The Necessity Retail REIT (Nasdaq: RTL) is the preeminent publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT) focused "Where America Shops". RTL acquires and manages a diversified portfolio of primarily necessity-based retail single tenant and open-air shopping center properties in the U.S. Additional information about RTL can be found on its website at www.necessityretailreit.com.

New railcar backlog valued at $3.6 billion is highest value in six years
Lease fleet utilization of 98%
LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greenbrier Companies, Inc. (NYSE: GBX) ("Greenbrier"), a leading international supplier of equipment and services to global freight transportation markets, today reported financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2022.
Third Quarter Highlights
- New railcar orders for 5,000 units valued at $670 million and deliveries of 5,200 units resulted in a book-to-bill of nearly 1.0x. Orders primarily originated in North America as Europe navigates the continued impact of the war in Ukraine.
- Diversified new railcar backlog as of May 31, 2022 was 30,900 units with a value of $3.6 billion and provides strong earnings visibility.
- Railcar refurbishment backlog of 3,100 units valued over $220 million is not included in new railcar backlog.
- Maintained lease fleet utilization of 98%.
- Gross margin and gross margin % increased sequentially as improvement in North American Manufacturing and Maintenance Services offset headwinds from Europe and pass-through of input cost escalations.
- Net earnings attributable to Greenbrier for the quarter were $3.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, on revenue of $794 million.
- Quarter end liquidity of $535 million, including $450 million in cash and $85 million of available borrowing capacity.
- Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share, payable on August 18, 2022 to shareholders of record as of July 28, 2022, representing Greenbrier's 33rd consecutive quarterly dividend.
"Greenbrier delivered strong operating results in our third quarter. Lease fleet utilization and manufacturing production and delivery levels remain robust in North America. This performance was partially offset by inflation and the impact of the war in Ukraine. Pass-through of input cost escalations protect Greenbrier when raw material prices spike, but dilute margin percentages," said Lorie Tekorius, Chief Executive Officer & President.
Tekorius concluded, "In Europe, the war triggered a pause in order activity after securing orders for 2,300 railcars in the first two quarters of our fiscal year. In recent weeks, European buyers are returning to the market and our sales pipeline is active. Lease syndications and Maintenance Services helped to balance our quarterly results, underscoring the value of Greenbrier's diverse business activities. Uncertainty in the U.S. economy remains an ongoing challenge, but our operations continue to build momentum. When confronted with difficult externalities, Greenbrier has a proven ability to produce value through our integrated platform."
Business Update & Outlook
Based on current business trends and production schedules for fiscal 2022, Greenbrier expects:
- Deliveries of 18,500 – 19,500 units including approximately 1,500 units in Greenbrier-Maxion (Brazil).
- Selling & administrative expense to be $210 - $215 million.
- Capital expenditures will be approximately $310 million in Leasing & Management Services, $50 million in Manufacturing and $10 million in Maintenance Services. Net of proceeds of equipment sales of approximately $155 million, capital expenditures in Leasing & Management Services will be $155 million.

THE GREENBRIER COMPANIES, INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL LEASING INFORMATION
(In millions, except owned and managed fleet, unaudited)
GBX Leasing (GBXL) was formed in April 2021 as a joint venture with The Longwood Group to own and manage a portfolio of leased railcars primarily built by Greenbrier. Greenbrier owns approximately 95% of GBXL and consolidates it in Greenbrier's financial statements in the Leasing & Management Services segment. GBXL provides an additional "go to market" element to Greenbrier's Commercial strategy of direct sales, partnerships with operating leasing companies, and origination of leases for syndication partners as well as providing a platform for further growth at scale. GBXL delivers strong tax-advantaged cash flows. GBX Leasing has over $400 million in railcar assets with a five-year goal of $1 billion of assets.
Our leasing operations observe Greenbrier's established portfolio standards including investing in strong credits with a diverse equipment mix and staggered maturity ladders. To mitigate the volatile interest rate environment, Greenbrier Leasing and GBX Leasing have fixed all floating rate debt. Investing in leasing assets reduces Greenbrier's Manufacturing revenue and margin in the short-term but provides meaningful tax benefits, longer-term earnings and cash flow stability.

Adjusted Financial Metric Definitions
EBITDA is not a financial measure under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This metric is a performance measurement tool used by rail supply companies and Greenbrier. You should not consider this metric in isolation or as a substitute for other financial statement data determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because this metric is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and is susceptible to varying calculations, the measure presented may differ from and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We define EBITDA as Net earnings (loss) before Interest and foreign exchange, Income tax (expense) benefit, Depreciation and amortization. We believe the presentation of EBITDA provides useful information as it excludes the impact of financing, foreign exchange, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending. These items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to the overall operating performance of a company's core business. We believe this assists in comparing our performance across reporting periods.

After members of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, their leader called someone on the phone with an urgent message for then-President Donald Trump, another extremist told investigators.
While gathered in a private suite at the Phoenix Park Hotel, an Oath Keeper member says he heard their leader, Stewart Rhodes, repeatedly urge the person on the phone to tell Trump to call upon militia groups to fight to keep the president in power.
“I just want to fight,” Rhodes said after hanging up with the person, who denied Rhodes' appeal to speak directly to the Republican president, court records say.
Federal prosecutors have not said who they believe Rhodes was speaking to on that call, which was detailed in court documents in the case of an Oath Keeper member who has pleaded guilty in the riot. An attorney for Rhodes says the call never happened.
The story, however, has raised questions about whether the extremist group boss may have had the ear of someone close to Trump on Jan. 6 — an issue that could take center stage when the House committee that's investigating the insurrection holds its next public hearing on Tuesday.
The Jan. 6 committee has said it is looking closely at any ties between people in Trump’s orbit and extremist groups accused of helping put into motion the violence at the Capitol.
Politics
Top leaders and members of the Oath Keepers and another far-right group — the Proud Boys — have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the most serious cases the Justice Department has brought so far in the Jan. 6 attack.
Neither federal prosecutors nor House investigators have alleged that anyone in the Trump White House was in communication with extremist groups in the run-up to Jan. 6.
But at least two men close to Trump — longtime friend Roger Stone and his former national security adviser Michael Flynn — have known contacts with far-right groups and extremists who, in some cases, are alleged to have been involved in Jan. 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, also told the House committee that she heard the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers mentioned leading up to the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6. But no further details about that have been revealed.
Cassie Miller, a Southern Poverty Law Center senior research analyst who has provided the committee with information about extremists, said she expects lawmakers to build on that testimony and possibly reveal more information about connections between people close to Trump and groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
“Right now, things are very blurry,” Miller said.
During the committee's last televised hearing, Hutchinson told lawmakers that Trump instructed Meadows to speak with Stone and Flynn the day before the riot. Hutchinson said Meadows called both Flynn and Stone on the evening of Jan. 5, but she said she didn’t know what they spoke about.
In posts on the social media platform Telegram after the hearing, Stone denied ever speaking to Meadows on the phone. When asked by The Associated Press for comment about the call, Flynn's brother replied in an email that the Jan. 6 hearing “is a clown show.”
Neither Stone nor Flynn has been charged in connection to the Capitol riot, and both of them have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before the House committee. Trump pardoned each of them after they were convicted by jurors or pleaded guilty in cases unrelated to Jan. 6.
During events in Washington before the riot, Stone used members of the Oath Keepers — a far-right militia group that recruits current and former military, first responders and law enforcement — as security guards.
Photos and video on Jan. 5 and 6 show Stone flanked by people dressed in Oath Keepers gear. Among them was Joshua James, then the leader of the group's Alabama chapter, who has pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and is cooperating with authorities investigating the insurrection.
Stone, an informal Trump adviser, has denied having any knowledge of or involvement in anything illegal on Jan. 6.
“The Oath Keepers provided security for me on the voluntary basis on January 5. Nothing more nothing less,” he wrote recently on Telegram.
On Friday, attorneys for Rhodes told the committee that their client wants to testify in person and publicly. A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment, but it's unlikely lawmakers would agree to Rhodes' conditions.
The committee already interviewed Rhodes for hours behind closed doors, but he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination under the direction of his attorneys when asked about the post-election period, one of his lawyers, James Lee Bright, told the AP. Bright said Rhodes now wants to “confront the narrative they are portraying," which he believes is “completely wrong.”
Rhodes, a former U.S. Army paratrooper, and four co-defendants are scheduled for trial in Washington in September. The Oath Keepers have largely avoided public forums since Jan. 6, and it’s unclear who is handling the “day to day” operations of the group with Rhodes behind bars, said Oren Segal, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.
The Oath Keepers have denied there was any plan to storm the Capitol. They say their communications and planning leading up to Jan. 6 was only about providing security for right-wing figures like Stone before the riot as well as protecting themselves against possible attacks from antifa activists.
Stone has also not been shy about a close association with Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman who is scheduled to stand trial in December on sedition charges alongside other members of the extremist group that refers to itself as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.”
In February 2019 — one month after being charged with witness tampering and other crimes in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation — Stone was summoned back to court to answer for a post on his Instagram account featuring a photo of the judge with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun. On the witness stand, Stone publicly identified Tarrio as one of five or six “volunteers” who provided him with images and content to post on social media. Stone said his house functioned as a headquarters for his volunteers.
Trump commuted Stone's 40-month prison sentence in that case days before he was due to report to prison and pardoned him months later.
The Proud Boys have been trying to forge connections with mainstream Republican figures since Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes started the group in 2016, Miller said.
A Proud Boys member told the Jan. 6 committee that membership in the group skyrocketed after Trump refused to outright condemn the group during his first debate with Biden. Instead, Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”
And while extremist groups tend to collapse after law-enforcement authorities jail their top leaders, that hasn’t seemed to have happened to the Proud Boys. Despite a brief lull in activity after the riot, 2021 became one of the most active years for the extremist group, according to Miller.
Flynn also had contact with some far-right groups before Jan. 6. In the weeks after the election, Flynn became a leading figure in the campaign to sow doubt about the results and urge Trump to take extraordinary measures to stay in power.
Flynn called Trump’s loss a “coup in progress,” and publicly suggested Trump should seize voting machines and floated the idea of martial law. He and several allies ultimately brought those ideas directly to Trump in an Oval Office meeting that December. Flynn was also a featured speaker at a large rally in Washington on Dec. 12, 2020, backing Trump's desperate efforts to subvert his election loss.
In text messages later filed in court, Rhodes — the Oath Keepers leader — and other members discussed how members of the group had worked with another far-right group, 1st Amendment Praetorians, or 1AP, to provide personal security to Flynn that day. A photograph taken by UPI shows Flynn leaving the rally with Rhodes and at least one member of 1AP.
The House committee has subpoenaed 1AP Founder Robert Patrick Lewis, noting in a letter to Lewis that he claimed to coordinate regularly with Flynn and also claimed to be in contact with Rhodes prior to Jan. 6.
Lewis, who has not been charged in Jan. 6, has said the group was made up of military and law enforcement veterans, and provided pro bono security and intelligence in the months after the election. In a recent defamation lawsuit, Lewis and another member of 1AP, Philip Luelsdorff, have denied involvement with the planning or execution of the Capitol attack, and said that 1AP has never been a militia or paramilitary group.
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation before being pardoned by Trump a little more than a month before the Capitol riot. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/testimony-raises-question-of-whether-oath-keepers-had-contact-with-trumps-circle/3768437/ | 2022-07-11T10:41:54Z | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/testimony-raises-question-of-whether-oath-keepers-had-contact-with-trumps-circle/3768437/ | false |
Brussels/London:
European Union health agencies on Monday recommended a second
COVID-19 booster for everyone above 60 amid a new rise in infections and hospitalisations across Europe.
While the existing coronavirus vaccines continue to provide good protection against hospitalisation and death, vaccine effectiveness has taken a hit as the virus has evolved.
"It is crucial that everyone above 60 and all vulnerable persons come forth for a second booster dose as quickly as possible," EU health commissioner Stella Kyriakides said in a statement.
EU health agencies have since April recommended a second booster only for those older than 80 and the most vulnerable.
The new recommendation is expected to facilitate national decisions to speed up vaccination campaigns, which have been slowing to nearly a halt in recent months.
"We are currently seeing increasing COVID-19 case notification rates and an increasing trend in hospital and ICU admissions and occupancy in several countries mainly driven by the BA 5 sublineage of
Omicron," said Dr Andrea Ammon, the director of ECDC, in a statement.
Vaccine makers, such as
Moderna Inc and partners
Pfizer Inc and
BioNTech have been testing versions of their vaccines modified to combat the BA.1 Omicron variant.
Although they have said those vaccines generated a good immune response against BA.1 and the more recently circulating variants, they did see a lower response against BA.4 and BA.5.
The EMA, which is currently reviewing two variant-adapted vaccines, expects to have the first next-gen vaccines approved by September.
"In the meantime, it is important to consider using currently authorised vaccines as second boosters in people who are most vulnerable," said Emir Cooke, European Medicines Agency executive director. | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/eu-recommends-second-covid-booster-for-over-60s/92801954 | 2022-07-11T10:44:23Z | https://health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/industry/eu-recommends-second-covid-booster-for-over-60s/92801954 | false |
Over-the-counter birth control? Drugmaker seeks FDA approval
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, a pharmaceutical company has asked for permission to sell a birth control pill over the counter in the U.S.
HRA Pharma’s application on Monday sets up a high-stakes decision for health regulators amid legal and political battles over women’s reproductive health. The company says the timing was unrelated to the Supreme Court’s recent decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Hormone-based pills have long been the most common form of birth control in the U.S., used by millions of women since the 1960s. They have always required a prescription, generally so health professionals can screen for conditions that raise the risk of rare, but dangerous, blood clots.
The French drugmaker’s application compiles years of research intended to convince the Food and Drug Administration that women can safely screen themselves for those risks and use the pill effectively.
“For a product that has been available for the last 50 years, that has been used safely by millions of women, we thought it was time to make it more available,” said Frederique Welgryn, HRA’s chief strategy officer.
An FDA approval could come next year and would only apply to HRA’s pill, which would be sold under its original brand name, Opill. The company acquired the decades-old drug from Pfizer in 2014, but it’s not currently marketed in the U.S.
Reproductive rights advocates want to see other prescription contraceptives move over the counter and, eventually, for abortion pills to do the same.
That potential for a precedent-setting decision once again places the FDA under an intense political spotlight.
Late last year, the agency was condemned by abortion opponents and praised by women’s rights advocates when it loosened access to abortion pills. The agency faced similar political pressures in 2006 when it approved over-the-counter use of the emergency contraception pill Plan B.
Many conservative groups stress they are only interested in curtailing abortion, and state bans often explicitly exclude contraception.
Even before Monday’s announcement, Democratic lawmakers were calling on the FDA to swiftly consider any such requests.
“We urge FDA to review applications for over-the-counter birth control pills without delay and based solely on the data,” said more than 50 members of the House’s Pro-Choice Caucus in a March letter.
Many common medications have made the switch from behind the pharmacy counter, including drugs for pain relief, heartburn and allergies.
In each case, companies must show that consumers can understand the drug’s labeling, evaluate its risks and use it safely and effectively without professional supervision. HRA spent seven years conducting the FDA-required studies, including a trial that followed 1,000 women taking its pill for six months.
Behind the company’s efforts is a coalition of women’s health researchers and advocates who have worked for nearly two decades to make contraceptives more accessible, especially to groups with less access to health care.
The Oral Contraceptives Over-the-Counter Working Group helped fund some of HRA’s research and is mobilizing support behind a media campaign dubbed Free the Pill.
“A lot of our research has been about making the case to help inspire and support a company to take this work on,” said Kelly Blanchard, president of Ibis Reproductive Health, a group member that supports abortion and contraceptive access.
Birth control pills are available without a prescription across much of South America, Asia and Africa. Last year, Paris-based HRA won U.K. approval for the first birth control pill available there without a prescription.
Advocates were particularly interested in HRA’s drug because they say it’s likely to raise fewer safety concerns.
The pill contains a single synthetic hormone, progestin, which prevents pregnancy by blocking sperm from the cervix.
Most birth control pills contain progestin plus estrogen, which can help make periods lighter and more regular. Progestin-only pills are generally recommended for women who can’t take the more popular combination pills due to health issues.
But estrogen also accounts for most of the blood clot risk associated with oral contraceptives. FDA’s labeling warns against their use in certain women already at risk for heart problems, such as those who smoke and are over 35.
For most women, the drugs are overwhelmingly safe. For every 10,000 women taking combination pills annually, three to nine will suffer a blood clot, according to FDA data. That compares with one to five clots among 10,000 women who aren’t taking birth control.
And medical professionals point out that blood clot rates are much higher in women who become pregnant, when hormone levels and reduced blood flow increase clotting risk.
“What I definitely see is a misunderstanding of the dangers of these pills. It is much safer to take the pill than to be pregnant” said Dr. Maura Quinlan, a Northwestern University physician and member of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. She was not involved in HRA’s application or research.
The medical association supports making all hormone-based contraceptives available over the counter. Last month, the nation’s largest physician groups, the American Medical Association, endorsed making birth control pills available over the counter.
Still, support is not universal.
Diana Zuckerman of the nonprofit National Center for Health Research says comparing the safety risks of the pills with pregnancy is not the right approach.
Many women take birth control pills to regulate their periods or reduce bleeding, said Zuckerman, whose group evaluates medical research. “Those are real benefits, but they are not worth the risk of potentially fatal blood clots,” she said.
The FDA has long monitored the safety of oral contraceptives, updating their warnings over the years.
Last year, the agency placed a hold on a study by drugmaker Cadence Health, which has also been working on an over-the-counter pill. The agency told the company to conduct additional blood pressure checks of trial participants. The company says it is “working to overcome this regulatory hurdle.”
The FDA is required to hold a public meeting to evaluate HRA’s application before making a decision. Safety considerations are likely to take center stage.
Executives at HRA, which is owned by Perrigo Co., expect a decision in the first half of 2023.
Advocates hope it will be the first of many.
“Once we see the approval of this product, it will demonstrate that it’s possible and that the data is strong,” Blanchard said. “Hopefully we’ll see the process speed up from here.”

Biden celebration of new gun law clouded by latest shooting
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is hosting a “celebration” of a new bipartisan law meant to reduce gun violence that, after just 16 days in effect, already has been overshadowed by yet another mass shooting.
The bill, passed after recent gun rampages in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, incrementally toughens requirements for young people to buy guns, denies firearms to more domestic abusers, and helps local authorities temporarily take weapons from people judged to be dangerous.
But the South Lawn event on Monday morning comes a week after a gunman in Highland Park, Illinois, killed seven people at an Independence Day parade, a stark reminder of the limitations of the new law in addressing the American phenomenon of mass gun violence.
Biden on Saturday invited Americans to share with him via text — a new White House communications strategy — their stories of how they’ve been impacted by gun violence, tweeting that “I’m hosting a celebration of the passage of the Safer Communities Act.”
The law is the the most impactful firearms violence measure Congress has approved since enacting a now-expired assault weapons ban in 1993. Yet gun control advocates — and even White House officials — say it’s premature to declare victory.
“There’s simply not much to celebrate here,” said Igor Volsky, director of the private group Guns Down America.
“It’s historic, but it’s also the very bare minimum of what Congress should do,” Volsky said. “And as we were reminded by the shooting on July 4, and there’s so many other gun deaths that have occurred since then, the crisis of of gun violence is just far more urgent.”
Volsky’s group, along with other gun violence advocacy groups, was set to host a news conference on Monday outside the White House calling on Biden to stand up a dedicated office at the White House to address gun violence with a greater sense of urgency.
Biden has left gun control policy to his Domestic Policy Council, rather than establishing a dedicated office like he stood up to address climate change or the gender policy council he established to promote reproductive health access.
“We have a president who really hasn’t met the moment, who has chosen to act as a bystander on this issue,” Volsky said. “For some reason the administration absolutely refuses to have a senior official who can drive this issue across government.”
The president signed the bipartisan gun bill into law on June 25, calling it “a historic achievement” at the time.
“Time is of the essence. Lives will be saved,” Biden said in the Roosevelt Room during a hastily arranged signing ceremony before he flew to Europe. Referencing the families of shooting victims he has met, the president said: “Their message to us was, ‘Do something.’ How many times did we hear that? ‘Just do something. For God’s sake, just do something.’ Today we did.”
White House officials said Biden doesn’t see the passage of the bill as the finish line, but rather a foundation that needs to be built on. The Illinois shooting occurred nine days after the bill signing.
“I recently signed the first major bipartisan gun reform legislation in almost 30 years into law, which includes actions that will save lives,” Biden said after July 4th shooting. “But there is much more work to do, and I’m not going to give up fighting the epidemic of gun violence.”
On Friday, Biden responded to the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe by taking note of how the shooting had shocked people in Japan. The country has a strikingly low incidence of gun violence compared to the U.S., which has experienced thousands of gun deaths already this year.
Most of the new law’s $13 billion in spending would be used for bolstering mental health programs and for schools, which have been targeted by shooters in Newtown, Connecticut; Parkland, Florida; and many other gun massacres. It was the product of weeks of closed-door negotiations by a bipartisan group of senators who emerged with a compromise.
It does not include far tougher restrictions that Democrats and Biden have long championed, such as a ban on assault-type weapons and background checks for all gun transactions. Biden on Monday was expected to reiterate his call for those tougher measures, but prospects are slim for any further congressional action.

With mortgage rates above the 5% mark and prices still at all-time highs, home buyers face new challenges this summer.
According to realtors, some frustrated buyers are simply dropping out of the market, but that could actually benefit those who stay in.
Couple struggles with rising mortgage rates
Sara and Clay Conner are young parents who have been trying to find a home during one of the most challenging buying markets in decades.
"We'd put in an offer, and we got outbid. That was really disheartening," Sara Conner said.
"It was definitely a frustrating experience as a buyer," Clay added.
But that was even before this year's big jump in mortgage rates, which suddenly lowered the amount they could comfortably afford to spend.
"It was a little bit alarming when rates went from 3-4%," she said.
But then rates surged from 4 -5%, and briefly to 6%, adding hundreds of dollars to their monthly payment.
An analysis by CNBC said a 30-year mortgage on a $450,000 home would have cost $1,575 a month last year when rates were at 3.25%. That same home will now cost $2,078 a month.
For the Conners, it created even more urgency in their house hunt.
"We knew interest rates were going up, so we knew we wanted to find something quickly," Sara Conner said.
Realtors say when mortgage rates hit 5% this year, they immediately started to see some buyers drop out of the market, primarily people who had based their purchase on 3-4% rates.
But real estate agent Susan Huff of Huff Realty said the silver lining is that for those who remained in the market, there are now many more opportunities to find a home.
"It is giving people a little bit more of a chance to get out there and get more of a selection," she said.
Huff said many homes are not getting multiple offers on the first day they hit the market anymore.
"You have a little more time," she said. "It is not as hectic."
Options for buyers right now
So what can you do if you had hoped to find a home?
Nathan Grant of MoneyTips.com said you can't control mortgage rates.
"I can stress about this all I want," he said, "but what can I actually do?"
He said, however, there are factors you can control, such as:
- Saving for a larger down payment.
- Working to raise your credit score to qualify for a lower rate.
- Comparing lenders online for the lowest rate.
- Considering an adjustable, or ARM, mortgage, which carries a lower rate.
Grant said buying now and refinancing later on, is another option.
"Let's say we got the home, and we were hoping to refinance a year later," he said. "Maybe in that same year, your credit has improved, and your debt has been paid down, so your personal situation has improved, and you now qualify for a lower rate."
Some more good news for buyers: mortgage rates are now dropping slightly in July as the economy slows, so the Conners were finally able to lock in a decent rate.
"We may have had to buy a smaller home due to the rising interest rates," Clay Conner said.
But in the end, they could have an offer accepted on a home they wanted and still get a decent mortgage rate.
The Conners' message to other buyers: don't get discouraged because you may now find less competition for the home you want.
That way, you don't waste your money.

TAMPA, Fla. — What started out as a hobby, making outfits for cosplay, has flourished into a professional career with the Straz. This costumer is now preparing the cast of Nunsense for opening night.
“Growing up as a child I always wanted to make costumes and my mom would help me,” said costumer Anne Acosta. “One of my earliest memories was my nana knitting and crocheting something for my barbie dolls so I was always interested.”
It was just a few years ago that Acosta was dressing up like her favorite Game Of Thrones characters for some cosplay fun, and now here she is, in charge of costumes that will be seen by thousands under the bright lights of the Straz.
“I just really have come to appreciate and enjoy every second of it, of course there is times where it is very fast-paced and you just have to dive right in and go,” said Acosta.
She remembers coming to the Straz as a child. While many dreamed of being on center stage she imagined working behind the scenes in the dressing room.
“I’m attracted to shiny things, so that is my favorite part, is to come to the shows, and see the costumes, and see the glitz and the glamour, and the fun things that can be done,” said Acosta.
Nunsense marks Acosta’s third professional production at the Straz since graduating from USF with a degree in theater design.
“I always think of every show as a learning experience, so there is always going to be something new I’m going to learn that I’m going to put in my seamstress tool kit,” said Acosta.
As for the nuns in the cast, they say it would have been a sin to take the stage without Acosta’s eye for detail and hand for perfection.
“We are wearing nuns habits right now, these are pretty accurate, and there are so many pieces to them, and I think that Anne not only making sure that they fit us well and they are all tailored to our specifications,” said actor Mathew McGee who plays Mother Superior.
Nunsense runs July 13 to August 7 at the Jaeb Theater. | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-hillsborough/from-hobby-to-straz-costumer-embraces-dream-job | 2022-07-11T10:59:50Z | https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/region-hillsborough/from-hobby-to-straz-costumer-embraces-dream-job | true |
Uber lobbyists met with George Osborne, Matt Hancock, Michael Gove, Sajid Javid and Priti Patel during ride-sharing app's global expansion as leak of 124,000 emails and texts exposes tech firm's underhand tactics
- The secret meetings with British MPs took place between 2014 and 2016
- Mr Osborne, Matt Hancock, Michael Gove, Priti Patel, Sajid Javid and Ed Vaizey named
- Uber had drawn up an 'outreach grid' of MPs and officials they met with
- In 2016 Transport for London dropped plans for increased regulation of firms such as Uber
- There were protests by black cab drivers. George Osborne was targetted
Six or more Tory ministers were lobbied by Uber including then chancellor George Osborne as well as colleagues Matt Hancock, Michael Gove, Priti Patel, Sajid Javid and Ed Vaizey as the app tried to expand in London.
The secret meetings with British MPs between 2014 and 2016 raise more questions about what pressure was exerted on then Mayor of London Boris Johnson to dilute proposed minicab reforms - sparking a war with the capital's black cab drivers.
The meetings with top Tories were exposed in an unprecedented leak of 124,000 confidential documents including texts and emails that have laid bare the underhand tactics that drove Uber's rapid global expansion.
George Osborne attended a secret meeting with Uber in California in August 2014. The 'small dinner' was said to be organised by Rachel Whetstone, the then chancellor's friend and wife of David Cameron's No 10 policy chief Steve Hilton.
Executives from Google, one of Uber's main investors, including co-founder Larry Page also attended the soiree along with the then Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick, the documents leaked to The Guardian and the BBC show.
An email to Mr Kalanick said of the dinner: 'We were going to get you in front of Osborne when you're in London, but this is a much more private affair, no hanger-on officials or staffers … I think it would be a good use of your time'. A note from a different meeting in Davos described Osborne as a 'strong advocate' for the firm.
The 'undeclared' meetings took place after Boris Johnson, as Mayor of London, had promised to launch a review that could have limited Uber's expansion in the capital. Mr Johnson ultimately abandoned his review, and Uber was able to increase its number of drivers in London.
Susan Hawley, the executive director of Spotlight on Corruption, said today: 'You or I don't get to have dinner with George Osborne and bend his ear about what we would like done with the economy. It perfectly encapsulates the problem with lobbying and how vested interests capture ministers and decision-making.' Ministers insist rules were followed, the BBC said.
George Osborne attended a dinner with Uber reportedly attended by former CEO Travis Kalanick who was told it would be a 'good use of your time' in a leaked email
Uber's lobbying coincided with a push to expand in London and a victory that saw increased regulations on private hire vehicles dropped in the capital
The Treasury never disclosed the meeting but a spokesman for Mr Osborne, now an investment banker, told The Guardian: 'Far from being secret, it was the explicit and publicly announced policy of the coalition government to meet with global tech businesses, persuade them to invest in Britain, and create jobs here. All business meetings were properly declared.'
Boris Johnson, then Mayor of London and now PM, said at the time he had been contacted by 'rampant, frothing, free-market Conservatives' who wanted to stop regulations being tightened in London for private-hire vehicles
Rachel Whetstone's lawyers said the dinner was arranged at Mr Osborne's request and that she 'never sought to exploit or take improper advantage of personal relationships with UK politicians and/or former government ministers'.
Within months of that meeting she would leave Google and become Uber's senior vice-president of policy and communications.
Today's leak, which will be subject to a Panorama show later today, revealed that Uber had drawn up an 'outreach grid' of MPs and officials they met with.
As they plotted UK expansion there was a 'No 10 visit' in July 2014 to see Matt Hancock, Sajid Javid and and Tory advisers. Michael Gove, Priti Patel and Ed Vaizey also met with Uber, according to the leak. None of these encounters were disclosed by their departments, The Guardian claims.
Boris Johnson, then Mayor of London, said at the time he had been contacted by 'rampant, frothing, free-market Conservatives' who wanted to stop regulations being tightened in London for private-hire vehicles. In 2016 Transport for London (TfL) abandoned the proposals, in a major win for Uber, which now dominates in the capital. The decision sparked fury among the capital's black cab firms who said they were being robbed of business.
The leaked documents span a five-year period when Uber was run by its co-founder Travis Kalanick. The documents, obtained by the Guardian, reveal how Uber's meteoric rise was fuelled by the breaking of taxi regulations and laws.
A senior Uber executive wrote in an email exposed by the leak that the firm 'should avoid making antagonistic statements' as it was not then legal in many countries. Another said the ride hailing app had 'officially become pirates' in its efforts to 'avoid enforcement'.
One responded to attempts to shut the business down in Thailand and India by saying: 'Sometimes we have problems because, well, we're just f****** illegal.'
And the leaks lay bare the access senior Uber executives had to politicians such as Mr Osborne, as well as French president Emmanuel Macron, and the then US vice president Joe Biden.
Mr Kalanick met Mr Biden at Davos when he was Barack Obama's vice president. A speech he made was then apparently amended to refer to Uber as having given millions of workers 'freedom to work as many hours as they wish'.
At the same meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mr Kalanick had a meeting with Mr Osborne, then Chancellor of the Exchequer. A note from the meeting described Osborne as a 'strong advocate' for the firm.
The leak reveals that Matt Hancock and Sajid Javid also met with Uber officials
Michael Gove, Priti Patel and Ed Vaizey also met with Uber, according to today's leak
The Davos meeting was declared, but the leaked files reveal a further six meetings between the company and UK ministers that were not.
Mr Osborne said it was the Government's policy to meet with global firms to secure investment in Britain.
The leaks detailed how Uber's model relied on applying influence on powerful officials through intermediaries or seeking private meetings with politicians. It also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on academic research espousing the benefits of its model, which relies on gig workers.
In one instance Mr Kalanick risked a backlash by urging Uber executives in France to encourage drivers to stage counter protests amid taxi strikes and riots in Paris. He was warned drivers would potentially face violence but responded by saying it was 'worth it' and that 'violence guarantees success'.
Another practice highlighted by the leaks was the use of a 'kill switch', which cut access to the company's systems during raids by authorities. It was deployed at least 12 times during raids in France, the Netherlands, Belgium, India, Hungary and Romania.
In response to the leaks, Uber said there had been thousands of stories of its 'mistakes' before 2019, when it appointed new chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi.
Its head of marketing and public affairs Jill Hazelbaker said: 'We have not and will not make excuses for past behaviour that is clearly not in line with our present values. Instead, we ask the public to judge us by what we've done over the last five years and what we will do in the years to come.'
Uber used attacks on its staff by taxi drivers scared of losing their jobs to pressure politicians to bend the rules during their global expansion, leaked files reveal.
Bosses at the ride-hailing app managed the chaos of protests over their growth in European nations to garner public support, the documents show.
They also allegedly tried to cozy up to politicians including Barack Obama, Joe Biden and France's Emmanuel Macron to lobby them in favour of the firm.
The bombshell claims come in 124,000 of explosive files leaked to dozens of media outlets about its expansion from 2013 to 2017.
The 'Uber Files' paints a picture of executives acting like 'pirates' as they shoved the app down the throats of world leaders and tried to dominate the global market.
In one shocking instance, former CEO Travis Kalanick is said to have told other leaders: 'Violence guarantee(s) success.' He was understood to be referring to counter protests against taxi drivers furious at the app being launched in Paris in 2016.
The documents call into question whether the firm used illegal tactics to dodge restrictions in different countries and gain political support.
In this file photo taken on January 26, 2016 Paris taxi drivers gather during a nation-wide strike by France's 5.6 million-strong civil servants, in Paris, to protest against job cuts, competition from taxi app company Uber and other non-licensed private hire cabs, and for pay rise
A study of more than 100,000 Uber documents and records show the company employed ethically dubious tactics as it sought to assert early dominance in the ride-share industry
In this file photo taken on June 26, 2015, taxis blocks the area of Porte Maillot in west Paris, with drivers furious at what they see as unfair competition from Uber, which puts customers in touch with private drivers at prices lower than those of traditional taxis.
The cache includes unvarnished text and email exchanges between executives, with standouts from co-founder and former chief executive Travis Kalanick, who was forced to resign in 2017 following accusations of brutal management practices and multiple episodes of sexual and psychological harassment at the company.
Uber's rapid expansion leaned on subsidized drivers and discounted fares that undercut the taxi industry, and 'often without seeking licenses to operate as a taxi and livery service,' reported The Washington Post, one of the media outlets involved in the probe.
Drivers across Europe had faced violent retaliation as taxi drivers felt their livelihoods threatened. The investigation found that 'in some instances, when drivers were attacked, Uber executives pivoted quickly to capitalize' to seek public and regulatory support, the Post said.
According to the Guardian, Uber has adopted similar tactics in European countries including Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Italy, mobilizing drivers and encouraging them to complain to the police when they were victims of violence, in order to use media coverage to obtain concessions from the authorities.
A spokesperson for Kalanick strongly denied the findings as a 'false agenda,' saying he 'never suggested that Uber should take advantage of violence at the expense of driver safety.'
Uber, however, placed the blame Sunday for previously publicized 'mistakes' made by leadership under Kalanick.
'We've moved from an era of confrontation to one of collaboration, demonstrating a willingness to come to the table and find common ground with former opponents, including labor unions and taxi companies,' it said, noting that his replacement, Dara Khosrowshahi, 'was tasked with transforming every aspect of how Uber operates.'
The investigation also accuses Uber of having worked to evade regulatory investigations by leveraging a technological edge, the Post wrote.
It described an instance when Kalanick implemented a 'kill switch' to remotely cut off access of devices in an Amsterdam office to Uber's internal systems during a raid by authorities.
'Please hit the kill switch ASAP,' he wrote in an email to an employee. 'Access must be shut down in AMS (Amsterdam).'
Kalanick spokesperson Devon Spurgeon said the former chief executive 'never authorized any actions or programs that would obstruct justice in any country.'
Kalanick 'did not create, direct or oversee these systems set up by legal and compliance departments and has never been charged in any jurisdiction for obstruction of justice or any related offense,' she said.
But the investigation charged that Uber's actions flouted laws and that executives were aware, citing one joking that they had become 'pirates.'

Uber will resume its ride share service in some major U.S. cities after halting the service in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic
The reports say the files reveal Uber also lobbied governments to aid its expansion, finding in particular an ally in France's Emmanuel Macron, who was economy minister from 2014 to 2016 and is now the country's president.
The company believed Macron would encourage regulators 'to be 'less conservative' in their interpretation of rules limiting the company's operations,' the Post said.
Macron was an open supporter of Uber and the idea of turning France into a 'start-up nation' in general, but the leaked documents suggest that the minister's support even sometimes clashed with the leftist government's policies.
The revelations sparked indignation among leftist politicians, denouncing the Uber-Macron links as against 'all our rules' and 'looting the country.'
The Uber Files also say the company cut its tax bill by millions of dollars by sending profits through Bermuda and other tax havens, then 'sought to deflect attention from its tax liabilities by helping authorities collect taxes from its drivers.″ | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11001327/Uber-met-George-Osborne-Matt-Hancock-Michael-Gove-leak-124-000-emails-texts-reveals.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-11T11:03:39Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11001327/Uber-met-George-Osborne-Matt-Hancock-Michael-Gove-leak-124-000-emails-texts-reveals.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true |
Schoolboy, 15, is found guilty of murdering father-of-three, 45, who was stabbed to death on his doorstep after he confronted gang who verbally abused his daughter and plagued his street with anti-social behaviour
- Jamie Markham, 45, was killed in Chingford, east London on August 9
- The boy, 15, has now been convicted of murdering the father-of-three
- He was also found guilty of possession of an offensive weapon
- The schoolboy, who can't legally be named, will be sentenced on August 26
A 15-year-old schoolboy who knifed a father when he confronted him outside his home after becoming fed up with antisocial behaviour has been found guilty of murder.
James Markham, 45 was stabbed in the back, armpit and chest in east London on August 9 after confronting the boy - who had already been banned from the area by a criminal behaviour order which he had flouted before.
The boy, now 15, who cannot be named for legal reasons, will be sentenced on August 26 for murdering the father-of-three.
He was also convicted of possession of an offensive weapon.
The Old Bailey was told the area near Churchill Terrace in Chingford, east London, had become a hotspot for antisocial behaviour and Mr Markham was fed up with it.
The gang had been verbally abusing one of Mr Markham's daughters before he confronted them, it was previously reported.
Mr Markham died in August last year after being stabbed in the back, armpit and chest for confronting the boy, who had already been banned from the area by a criminal behaviour order which he had flouted before
Jamie Markham (centre), 45, was fatally stabbed in Chingford, east London. He is pictured with his wife Candice (right) and his 17-year-old daughter Chloe (left)
Stone mason Mr Markham, who was in his shed, grabbed a drill bit and went out to confront the group of youths after returning home just before 6pm in August last year.
He was treated by paramedics but was pronounced dead at the scene. A post-mortem examination later confirmed he was killed by a stab wound to the lung.
A Metropolitan police spokesman said: 'A member of James's family saw a dispute but her view was restricted and she hadn't realised it was James who the teenagers were arguing with.
'James had approached the group with a drill bit in an apparent attempt to scare them off.
'One of the group advanced, armed with a knife, and the pair began swinging at each other.
'James was struck three times - in the back, armpit and chest. The latter injury pierced his lung and would prove fatal.
'A member of the public who had tried to intervene came to James's aid as the teenager and the rest of the group fled the scene.
'James's frantic family rushed down from their home to try to help him.
'Officers who came to the scene first administered first aid but despite their best efforts, and that of emergency paramedics and members of the public, James died at the scene.
'The teenager had dropped his mobile phone as he ran away and was quickly identified.

'He was arrested on suspicion of murder two days later and made no comment in police interviews.'
Detective Inspector John Marriot, Specialist Crime, said: 'James was a loving family man who leaves behind a partner and three children.
'That day they were met with a horrific scenario that no family should have to endure. I hope this conviction will provide them with some small measure of comfort as they continue to grieve James.
'The teenager in this incident was subject to a Criminal Behaviour Order and should never have been in the area. He had flouted it on a number of occasions.
'The knife he used was never recovered, indicating he went to some lengths to try to distance himself from this horrific crime.
'But my team worked to collate a wealth of witness, CCTV and forensic evidence proving his guilt. He will now spend a substantial amount of time behind bars.
'I'd like to thank the skill and determination of my team in working to deliver justice to James's family. Our thoughts remain with them.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11001847/Schoolboy-15-guilty-murdering-father-three-stabbed-death-doorstep.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-07-11T11:04:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11001847/Schoolboy-15-guilty-murdering-father-three-stabbed-death-doorstep.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | false |

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday unveiled the national emblem cast on the roof of the new Parliament building.
Officials said the emblem is made up of bronze with a total weight of 9,500 kg and is 6.5 metre in height.
It has been cast at the top of the central foyer of the new Parliament building, and a supporting structure of steel weighing around 6,500 kg has been constructed to support the emblem, they said.
Modi also interacted with workers involved in building the new Parliament.
The concept sketch and process of casting of the national emblem on the roof of the new Parliament building has gone through eight different stages of preparation from clay modelling and computer graphics to bronze casting and polishing, they said.

Trump associates’ ties to extremists probed by Jan. 6 panel
(AP) - After members of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, their leader called someone on the phone with an urgent message for then-President Donald Trump, another extremist told investigators.
While gathered in a private suite at the Phoenix Park Hotel, an Oath Keeper member says he heard their leader, Stewart Rhodes, repeatedly urge the person on the phone to tell Trump to call upon militia groups to fight to keep the president in power.
“I just want to fight,” Rhodes said after hanging up with the person, who denied Rhodes’ appeal to speak directly to the Republican president, court records say.
Federal prosecutors have not said who they believe Rhodes was speaking to on that call, which was detailed in court documents in the case of an Oath Keeper member who has pleaded guilty in the riot. An attorney for Rhodes says the call never happened.
The story, however, has raised questions about whether the extremist group boss may have had the ear of someone close to Trump on Jan. 6 — an issue that could take center stage when the House committee that’s investigating the insurrection holds its next public hearing on Tuesday.
The Jan. 6 committee has said it is looking closely at any ties between people in Trump’s orbit and extremist groups accused of helping put into motion the violence at the Capitol.
Top leaders and members of the Oath Keepers and another far-right group — the Proud Boys — have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the most serious cases the Justice Department has brought so far in the Jan. 6 attack.
Neither federal prosecutors nor House investigators have alleged that anyone in the Trump White House was in communication with extremist groups in the run-up to Jan. 6.
But at least two men close to Trump — longtime friend Roger Stone and his former national security adviser Michael Flynn — have known contacts with far-right groups and extremists who, in some cases, are alleged to have been involved in Jan. 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, also told the House committee that she heard the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers mentioned leading up to the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6. But no further details about that have been revealed.
Cassie Miller, a Southern Poverty Law Center senior research analyst who has provided the committee with information about extremists, said she expects lawmakers to build on that testimony and possibly reveal more information about connections between people close to Trump and groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
“Right now, things are very blurry,” Miller said.
During the committee’s last televised hearing, Hutchinson told lawmakers that Trump instructed Meadows to speak with Stone and Flynn the day before the riot. Hutchinson said Meadows called both Flynn and Stone on the evening of Jan. 5, but she said she didn’t know what they spoke about.
In posts on the social media platform Telegram after the hearing, Stone denied ever speaking to Meadows on the phone. When asked by The Associated Press for comment about the call, Flynn’s brother replied in an email that the Jan. 6 hearing “is a clown show.”
Neither Stone nor Flynn has been charged in connection to the Capitol riot, and both of them have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before the House committee. Trump pardoned each of them after they were convicted by jurors or pleaded guilty in cases unrelated to Jan. 6.
During events in Washington before the riot, Stone used members of the Oath Keepers — a far-right militia group that recruits current and former military, first responders and law enforcement — as security guards.
Photos and video on Jan. 5 and 6 show Stone flanked by people dressed in Oath Keepers gear. Among them was Joshua James, then the leader of the group’s Alabama chapter, who has pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and is cooperating with authorities investigating the insurrection.
Stone, an informal Trump adviser, has denied having any knowledge of or involvement in anything illegal on Jan. 6.
“The Oath Keepers provided security for me on the voluntary basis on January 5. Nothing more nothing less,” he wrote recently on Telegram.
On Friday, attorneys for Rhodes told the committee that their client wants to testify in person and publicly. A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment, but it’s unlikely lawmakers would agree to Rhodes’ conditions.
The committee already interviewed Rhodes for hours behind closed doors, but he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination under the direction of his attorneys when asked about the post-election period, one of his lawyers, James Lee Bright, told the AP. Bright said Rhodes now wants to “confront the narrative they are portraying,” which he believes is “completely wrong.”
Rhodes, a former U.S. Army paratrooper, and four co-defendants are scheduled for trial in Washington in September. The Oath Keepers have largely avoided public forums since Jan. 6, and it’s unclear who is handling the “day to day” operations of the group with Rhodes behind bars, said Oren Segal, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.
The Oath Keepers have denied there was any plan to storm the Capitol. They say their communications and planning leading up to Jan. 6 was only about providing security for right-wing figures like Stone before the riot as well as protecting themselves against possible attacks from antifa activists.
Stone has also not been shy about a close association with Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman who is scheduled to stand trial in December on sedition charges alongside other members of the extremist group that refers to itself as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.”
In February 2019 — one month after being charged with witness tampering and other crimes in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation — Stone was summoned back to court to answer for a post on his Instagram account featuring a photo of the judge with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun. On the witness stand, Stone publicly identified Tarrio as one of five or six “volunteers” who provided him with images and content to post on social media. Stone said his house functioned as a headquarters for his volunteers.
Trump commuted Stone’s 40-month prison sentence in that case days before he was due to report to prison and pardoned him months later.
The Proud Boys have been trying to forge connections with mainstream Republican figures since Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes started the group in 2016, Miller said.
A Proud Boys member told the Jan. 6 committee that membership in the group skyrocketed after Trump refused to outright condemn the group during his first debate with Biden. Instead, Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”
And while extremist groups tend to collapse after law-enforcement authorities jail their top leaders, that hasn’t seemed to have happened to the Proud Boys. Despite a brief lull in activity after the riot, 2021 became one of the most active years for the extremist group, according to Miller.
Flynn also had contact with some far-right groups before Jan. 6. In the weeks after the election, Flynn became a leading figure in the campaign to sow doubt about the results and urge Trump to take extraordinary measures to stay in power.
Flynn called Trump’s loss a “coup in progress,” publicly suggested Trump should seize voting machines and floated the idea of martial law. He and several allies ultimately brought those ideas directly to Trump in an Oval Office meeting that December. Flynn was also a featured speaker at a large rally in Washington on Dec. 12, 2020, backing Trump’s desperate efforts to subvert his election loss.
In text messages later filed in court, Rhodes — the Oath Keepers leader — and other members discussed how members of the group had worked with another far-right group, 1st Amendment Praetorians, or 1AP, to provide personal security to Flynn that day. A photograph taken by UPI shows Flynn leaving the rally with Rhodes and at least one member of 1AP.
The House committee has subpoenaed 1AP Founder Robert Patrick Lewis, noting in a letter to Lewis that he claimed to coordinate regularly with Flynn and also claimed to be in contact with Rhodes prior to Jan. 6.
Lewis, who has not been charged in Jan. 6, has said the group was made up of military and law enforcement veterans, and provided pro bono security and intelligence in the months after the election. In a recent defamation lawsuit, Lewis and another member of 1AP, Philip Luelsdorff, have denied involvement with the planning or execution of the Capitol attack, and said that 1AP has never been a militia or paramilitary group.
Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI during the Russia investigation before being pardoned by Trump a little more than a month before the Capitol riot.

DUBLIN and ALLEGAN, Mich., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Perrigo Company plc (NYSE: PRGO), a leading global provider of Consumer Self-Care Products, today announced that HRA Pharma, a Perrigo company, has submitted its application to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first-ever over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pill in the United States.
The company has applied for an Rx-to-OTC switch for Opill®, a progestin-only daily birth control pill (also referred to as a mini pill or non-estrogen pill). If approved, this would be the first daily birth control pill available OTC without a prescription in the U.S.
"This historic application marks a groundbreaking moment in contraceptive access and reproductive equity in the U.S.," said Frédérique Welgryn, Chief Strategic Operations and Innovation Officer at HRA Pharma. "More than 60 years ago, prescription birth control pills in the U.S. empowered women to plan if and when they want to get pregnant. Moving a safe and effective prescription birth control pill to OTC will help even more women and people access contraception without facing unnecessary barriers."
Almost half of the more than 6.1 million pregnancies in the U.S. each year are unintended1. Access to a range of methods and ways to access contraception that meet people's needs will increase the likelihood of using effective birth control methods.
Major medical organizations, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, and the American Academy of Family Physicians, have expressed support for moving birth control pills OTC.
Opill® consists of 0.075 mg norgestrel and has been used to prevent pregnancy in millions of women in the U.S. since it was FDA approved in 1973. Nearly fifty years of use and scientific evidence show that progestin-only pills like Opill® are effective at preventing pregnancy and are safe 2,3 for most women to use. As a daily regular contraceptive, Opill® is to be used pre-conception to be effective at preventing pregnancy.
Nearly one-third of adult U.S. women who have ever tried to obtain a prescription or refill for contraceptive pill, patch, or ring reported difficulties doing so4.
Removing the prescription requirement with Opill® would improve access to a contraceptive method that is well tolerated and notably more effective at preventing pregnancy than all current methods available OTC.
"As a doctor, I am dedicated to empowering people to make decisions about pregnancy prevention. For many, a birth control pill may be the best option for them but requiring a prescription is an unnecessary obstacle that can put it out of reach," said obstetrician-gynecologist, Melissa J. Kottke, MD, MPH, MBA. "Removing the prescription requirement for a progestin-only birth control pill will be a historic advancement for pregnancy prevention and a remarkable achievement in community public health."

INCHEON, South Korea, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Biologics (KRX: 207940.KS), the world's leading contract development and manufacturing organization, today published its second annual ESG Report, reflecting the company's sustainability efforts in 2021 to address a wide range of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities related to its business. The report also provides increased transparency on its approach and achievements in the following areas: reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhanced social contribution activities, and evaluations in the Board of Directors' structure.
John Rim, President and CEO of Samsung Biologics, said: "Under our 'Driven. For a Sustainable Life.' framework, we are continuously improving and committing our resources to create a sustainable environment, build a healthy society, and implement responsible business activities. The publication of our annual ESG Report reinforces the progress we've made, while keeping us focused on the long-term goals we've set. Our sustainability initiatives reinforce the connection between the work we do and how we fulfill our mission, while delivering on our core values of always putting people and the environment first."
This year's report highlights the company's progress in reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 32.3% compared to the previous year, and its commitment to reduce total Scope 1 and 2 emissions 54.3% and Scope 3 emissions 25.7% by 2026, compared to 2021. The company is also actively working to engage its suppliers to transition to net zero emissions in multiple areas and invest in renewable energy.
Samsung Biologics' commitment to addressing the most critical issues facing the planet is underscored by a series of global initiatives and projects to deliver progress related to climate change. Significant milestones include:
- To accelerate the delivery of net zero, sustainable healthcare to improve individual, societal, and planetary health, Samsung Biologics is actively involved in the Health Systems Taskforce as part of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales' Sustainable Markets Initiative, alongside global leaders from across the healthcare system, academia, and international organizations like the WHO and UNICEF.
- To foster collaborative solutions, Samsung Biologics also announced its participation in the Frontier 1.5D initiative to develop a climate risk management model as part of the 2050 Carbon Neutral Strategy in response to the ongoing challenges associated with global climate change.
- Through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Samsung Biologics, as a business sector representative, will determine the risks and opportunities within its business to address climate change, and then analyze the financial impact to adjust its response policies in relation to factors such as the reduction of GHG emissions.
Using Pricewaterhouse Coopers' Total Impact Measurement and Management methodology as a guiding principle, Samsung Biologics has contributed 1.6 trillion Korean won in economic and social value creation. The company detailed its social contribution activities to provide youth education and scholarship support, equitable access to quality and affordable healthcare services, and childcare support. In joint partnership with other Samsung affiliates, the company has introduced new programs like Dream Class to provide career counseling for middle school students in low-income families and the Stepping Stone of Hope project to offer self-sufficiency training and support for at-risk youth.
The company is also supporting ESG activities of its partner companies and requiring suppliers to comply with the company's Supplier Code of Conduct, which was amended this February in accordance with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI). Through these activities, Samsung Biologics aims to reduce ESG risk in its supply chain and build a stable network of partners.
As noted in the report, the company established increased independence and transparency in its Board structure by separating the Chair and CEO positions, and granting outside directors the right to request documentation. Through its robust compliance management system, the company also minimized management risks and strengthened its responsibility towards human rights, health, and the environment through prevention training, rigorous reporting and monitoring, and follow-up management. In March of last year, the company established a cross-organization taskforce to prevent serious accidents through process risk assessment, risk management, and potential risk identification and improvement.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — The average U.S. price of regular-grade gasoline plunged 19 cents over the past two weeks to $4.86 per gallon.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg of the Lundberg Survey said Sunday that the continued decline comes as crude oil costs also fall.
“Assuming oil prices do not shoot up from here, motorists may see prices drop another 10-20 cents as the oil price cuts continue making their way to street level,” Lundberg said in a statement.
The average price at the pump is down 24 cents over the past month, but it’s $1.66 higher than it was one year ago.
Nationwide, the highest average price for regular-grade gas was in the San Francisco Bay Area, at $6.14 per gallon. The lowest average was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at $4.19 per gallon.
According to the survey, the average price of diesel dropped 13 cents since June 24 to $5.76 a gallon. | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/average-gas-price-falls-19-cents-to-4-86-per-gallon/ | 2022-07-11T11:24:56Z | https://www.cbs42.com/news/national/average-gas-price-falls-19-cents-to-4-86-per-gallon/ | false |

MUSIQ™ 500 Composite Officially Launches Today, Opening Door for Industry Risk Management and Music as a Tradable Asset
CHICAGO, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clouty, the first organization to make music a financial instrument, announced that today it is launching a composite index designed to serve as the key benchmark for the music industry. The firm is partnering with the world's leading data providers to disseminate the index globally. The move paves the way for the introduction of a host of tradable financial products, giving the industry and those with exposure to it an opportunity for much-needed risk management capabilities, and offering institutional investors as well as the general public a chance to have a financial stake in music, even down to their favorite songs and genres.
Music is one of the only asset classes that has continued to rise amidst a macro-economic downturn. In 2021, more than $5 billion was spent on music catalog acquisitions, and global music streaming has grown into a $30 billion market from just $2 billion in 2015, on pace to reach $103 billion by 2030, according to industry analysts.
Clouty's MUSIQ™ 500 uses numerous inputs to capture the spot price for the top 500 songs in aggregate streamed in the U.S., consisting of various genres, including rap, children's, country, Latin, R&B/hip-hop, rock, dance/electronic, pop, world music (e.g., afro beats, reggae) and more. Applying its proprietary methodology to calculate the index value, Clouty intends to follow up with individual indexes tracking the top nine genres, along with a global composite, soon after the release of the MUSIQ 500.
Clouty Founder and CEO David Umeh said: "We have very exciting plans for Clouty and interest even beyond what we imagined throughout the financial markets and music industry. By 2030, the global music industry will have grown several times over. The shift in music consumption to streaming has made it possible to run robust and meaningful financial analysis on this data. We're thrilled to kick off our innovative composite index and looking forward to sharing a number of other major developments in the coming months.
"As humans, we're all connected emotionally in some way to songs, and music in the streaming era, which is consistently uncorrelated to other asset classes, remains ripe for innovation. By creating a financial index to allow the world to track the performance of the underlying market – a tool that's been available for decades in other assets – we open the door to a range of interesting opportunities. With our benchmark, the wave of music investing and risk management is taking a huge step forward, providing an important new way for the industry, professional investors and individuals to gain and manage exposure to this valuable asset."
About Clouty
Based in Chicago, Clouty sits at the intersection of data, music and finance, re-imagining the value of music by making it a tradable asset. Its first major initiative is the introduction of MUSIQTM indexes that the company will license. The firm is advised by many of the leading experts in the financial markets and music industry as well as partnering with some of the largest, most established organizations in those fields. Clouty was founded by David Umeh, an entrepreneur who identified the growing need for the music industry to manage risk and benefit from the same tools that other major industries have adopted.

SoftwareReviews Benefits Administration Champion, isolved, Releases New Benefit Admin Data Highlighting Its Critical Role in Employee Recruiting and Retention
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- isolved, whose latest survey of over 1,100 full-time employees in the United States reveals employees have expectations for how the software they use to enroll in benefit plans should work, has been named a Champion in Benefits Administration by SoftwareReviews, a division of Info~Tech, in its July 2022 Emotional Footprint Report. The evaluation measures high-level sentiment toward product offerings, based on customers' response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship. isolved earned top-five customer ratings across myriad categories including continuous improvements, customer centricity, customer care, fairness, friendly negotiation, generosity, integrity, product productivity, respectfulness, reliability, security, selflessness, trustworthiness and value – all based on real customer reviews.
Respondents to the isolved survey indicated "the ability to see a real-time cost analysis of elections" is the most important feature to their overall experience, when using technology for benefit election. The ability to showcase a cost analysis is critical for employees as 44 percent of full-time employees believe the costs they pay toward benefits are too high and 74 percent say a poor benefits enrollment experience could make them consider looking for another job. Additionally, 45 percent of respondents indicate they aren't sure their employer's benefits package is competitive.
"Once deemed just back-office technology, benefits administration software is now core to employee experience," said James Norwood, Chief Marketing and Strategy Officer at isolved. "When the majority of employees say they'd consider leaving if the benefits-enrollment experience is bad, employers must consider how they are doing with not just the benefits they offer but also the technology employees use to evaluate them – and ultimately elect them. isolved's recognition by our customers as a top benefits administration vendor proves we not only cater to the vendor-customer relationship and the value they receive, but also the employer-employee relationship and the value both see from it."
Within the independent, customer-based Emotional Footprint report, isolved often scored well above the category average (on a 100-point scale) such as:
- Caring: isolved scored 90 versus category average of 79
- Fairness: isolved scored 94 versus category average of 85
- Generosity: isolved scored 92 versus category average of 73
- Integrity: isolved scored 100 versus category average of 84
- Respectfulness: isolved scored 100 versus category average of 89
While employees don't necessarily experience the vendor-customer relationship, they are impacted by the end result.
The second-most requested feature by employees for benefit enrollment is having the previous year's elected benefits passively roll over for employees to confirm. A full 95 percent of full-time employees say they'd likely roll over elections from the previous year to the current year. The more steps employers can take to reduce stress around benefit election, the better. Sixty-one percent of full-time employees say open enrollment is stressful and roughly a third (30 percent) are not confident in their benefits elections, at all.

MUSIQ™ 500 Composite Officially Launches Today, Opening Door for Industry Risk Management and Music as a Tradable Asset
CHICAGO, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clouty, the first organization to make music a financial instrument, announced that today it is launching a composite index designed to serve as the key benchmark for the music industry. The firm is partnering with the world's leading data providers to disseminate the index globally. The move paves the way for the introduction of a host of tradable financial products, giving the industry and those with exposure to it an opportunity for much-needed risk management capabilities, and offering institutional investors as well as the general public a chance to have a financial stake in music, even down to their favorite songs and genres.
Music is one of the only asset classes that has continued to rise amidst a macro-economic downturn. In 2021, more than $5 billion was spent on music catalog acquisitions, and global music streaming has grown into a $30 billion market from just $2 billion in 2015, on pace to reach $103 billion by 2030, according to industry analysts.
Clouty's MUSIQ™ 500 uses numerous inputs to capture the spot price for the top 500 songs in aggregate streamed in the U.S., consisting of various genres, including rap, children's, country, Latin, R&B/hip-hop, rock, dance/electronic, pop, world music (e.g., afro beats, reggae) and more. Applying its proprietary methodology to calculate the index value, Clouty intends to follow up with individual indexes tracking the top nine genres, along with a global composite, soon after the release of the MUSIQ 500.
Clouty Founder and CEO David Umeh said: "We have very exciting plans for Clouty and interest even beyond what we imagined throughout the financial markets and music industry. By 2030, the global music industry will have grown several times over. The shift in music consumption to streaming has made it possible to run robust and meaningful financial analysis on this data. We're thrilled to kick off our innovative composite index and looking forward to sharing a number of other major developments in the coming months.
"As humans, we're all connected emotionally in some way to songs, and music in the streaming era, which is consistently uncorrelated to other asset classes, remains ripe for innovation. By creating a financial index to allow the world to track the performance of the underlying market – a tool that's been available for decades in other assets – we open the door to a range of interesting opportunities. With our benchmark, the wave of music investing and risk management is taking a huge step forward, providing an important new way for the industry, professional investors and individuals to gain and manage exposure to this valuable asset."
About Clouty
Based in Chicago, Clouty sits at the intersection of data, music and finance, re-imagining the value of music by making it a tradable asset. Its first major initiative is the introduction of MUSIQTM indexes that the company will license. The firm is advised by many of the leading experts in the financial markets and music industry as well as partnering with some of the largest, most established organizations in those fields. Clouty was founded by David Umeh, an entrepreneur who identified the growing need for the music industry to manage risk and benefit from the same tools that other major industries have adopted.

LONDON (AP) — London’s Heathrow Airport apologized Monday to passengers whose travels were disrupted by staff shortages and warned it may ask airlines to cut more flights from their summer schedules to reduce the strain if the chaos persists.
Heathrow, Britain's busiest airport, said service levels have been unacceptable at times in recent weeks, with long lines for security, delays helping passengers with reduced mobility, and luggage going missing or arriving late.
“We want to apologize to any passengers who have been affected by this,” the airport said in a monthly traffic update.
Booming demand for summer travel after two years of COVID-19 travel restrictions have swamped airlines and airports in Europe, which have been left shorthanded after laying off many pilots, cabin crew, check-in staff, ground crew and baggage handlers.
At Heathrow, unclaimed luggage has piled up in arrivals because of a technical glitch in the baggage system.
Compounding the problem, Heathrow said the punctuality of arriving flights is “very low” because of delays at other airports and airspace congestion across Europe.
Heathrow said it started recruiting in November in anticipation of this summer's recovery in travel demand and expects security staffing will be back to pre-pandemic levels by the end of July. It also has reopened Terminal 4 to give passengers more space.
U.K. airlines have been slashing their summer flight schedules after authorities ordered them to ensure they can operate without disruption over the summer. British Airways has cut 11% of its flights between April and October to avoid canceling flights on the day of departure.
Heathrow CEO John Holland-Kaye said the airport will review the airlines' proposed cuts “and will ask them to take further action if necessary." | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/London-s-Heathrow-airport-apologizes-for-travel-17296597.php | 2022-07-11T11:39:25Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/London-s-Heathrow-airport-apologizes-for-travel-17296597.php | false |

Trump associates’ ties to extremists probed by Jan. 6 panel
(AP) - After members of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, their leader called someone on the phone with an urgent message for then-President Donald Trump, another extremist told investigators.
While gathered in a private suite at the Phoenix Park Hotel, an Oath Keeper member says he heard their leader, Stewart Rhodes, repeatedly urge the person on the phone to tell Trump to call upon militia groups to fight to keep the president in power.
“I just want to fight,” Rhodes said after hanging up with the person, who denied Rhodes’ appeal to speak directly to the Republican president, court records say.
Federal prosecutors have not said who they believe Rhodes was speaking to on that call, which was detailed in court documents in the case of an Oath Keeper member who has pleaded guilty in the riot. An attorney for Rhodes says the call never happened.
The story, however, has raised questions about whether the extremist group boss may have had the ear of someone close to Trump on Jan. 6 — an issue that could take center stage when the House committee that’s investigating the insurrection holds its next public hearing on Tuesday.
The Jan. 6 committee has said it is looking closely at any ties between people in Trump’s orbit and extremist groups accused of helping put into motion the violence at the Capitol.
Top leaders and members of the Oath Keepers and another far-right group — the Proud Boys — have been charged with seditious conspiracy in the most serious cases the Justice Department has brought so far in the Jan. 6 attack.
Neither federal prosecutors nor House investigators have alleged that anyone in the Trump White House was in communication with extremist groups in the run-up to Jan. 6.
But at least two men close to Trump — longtime friend Roger Stone and his former national security adviser Michael Flynn — have known contacts with far-right groups and extremists who, in some cases, are alleged to have been involved in Jan. 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, also told the House committee that she heard the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers mentioned leading up to the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington on Jan. 6. But no further details about that have been revealed.
Cassie Miller, a Southern Poverty Law Center senior research analyst who has provided the committee with information about extremists, said she expects lawmakers to build on that testimony and possibly reveal more information about connections between people close to Trump and groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
“Right now, things are very blurry,” Miller said.
During the committee’s last televised hearing, Hutchinson told lawmakers that Trump instructed Meadows to speak with Stone and Flynn the day before the riot. Hutchinson said Meadows called both Flynn and Stone on the evening of Jan. 5, but she said she didn’t know what they spoke about.
In posts on the social media platform Telegram after the hearing, Stone denied ever speaking to Meadows on the phone. When asked by The Associated Press for comment about the call, Flynn’s brother replied in an email that the Jan. 6 hearing “is a clown show.”
Neither Stone nor Flynn has been charged in connection to the Capitol riot, and both of them have invoked their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination before the House committee. Trump pardoned each of them after they were convicted by jurors or pleaded guilty in cases unrelated to Jan. 6.
During events in Washington before the riot, Stone used members of the Oath Keepers — a far-right militia group that recruits current and former military, first responders and law enforcement — as security guards.
Photos and video on Jan. 5 and 6 show Stone flanked by people dressed in Oath Keepers gear. Among them was Joshua James, then the leader of the group’s Alabama chapter, who has pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy and is cooperating with authorities investigating the insurrection.
Stone, an informal Trump adviser, has denied having any knowledge of or involvement in anything illegal on Jan. 6.
“The Oath Keepers provided security for me on the voluntary basis on January 5. Nothing more nothing less,” he wrote recently on Telegram.
On Friday, attorneys for Rhodes told the committee that their client wants to testify in person and publicly. A spokesperson for the committee declined to comment, but it’s unlikely lawmakers would agree to Rhodes’ conditions.
The committee already interviewed Rhodes for hours behind closed doors, but he invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination under the direction of his attorneys when asked about the post-election period, one of his lawyers, James Lee Bright, told the AP. Bright said Rhodes now wants to “confront the narrative they are portraying,” which he believes is “completely wrong.”
Rhodes, a former U.S. Army paratrooper, and four co-defendants are scheduled for trial in Washington in September. The Oath Keepers have largely avoided public forums since Jan. 6, and it’s unclear who is handling the “day to day” operations of the group with Rhodes behind bars, said Oren Segal, vice president of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism.
The Oath Keepers have denied there was any plan to storm the Capitol. They say their communications and planning leading up to Jan. 6 was only about providing security for right-wing figures like Stone before the riot as well as protecting themselves against possible attacks from antifa activists.
Stone has also not been shy about a close association with Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys chairman who is scheduled to stand trial in December on sedition charges alongside other members of the extremist group that refers to itself as a politically incorrect men’s club for “Western chauvinists.”
In February 2019 — one month after being charged with witness tampering and other crimes in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation — Stone was summoned back to court to answer for a post on his Instagram account featuring a photo of the judge with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun. On the witness stand, Stone publicly identified Tarrio as one of five or six “volunteers” who provided him with images and content to post on social media. Stone said his house functioned as a headquarters for his volunteers.
Trump commuted Stone’s 40-month prison sentence in that case days before he was due to report to prison and pardoned him months later.
The Proud Boys have been trying to forge connections with mainstream Republican figures since Vice Media co-founder Gavin McInnes started the group in 2016, Miller said.
A Proud Boys member told the Jan. 6 committee that membership in the group skyrocketed after Trump refused to outright condemn the group during his first debate with Biden. Instead, Trump told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by.”
And while extremist groups tend to collapse after law-enforcement authorities jail their top leaders, that hasn’t seemed to have happened to the Proud Boys. Despite a brief lull in activity after the riot, 2021 became one of the most active years for the extremist group, according to Miller.
Flynn also had contact with some far-right groups before Jan. 6. In the weeks after the election, Flynn became a leading figure in the campaign to sow doubt about the results and urge Trump to take extraordinary measures to stay in power.
Flynn called Trump’s loss a “coup in progress,” publicly suggested Trump should seize voting machines and floated the idea of martial law. He and several allies ultimately brought those ideas directly to Trump in an Oval Office meeting that December. Flynn was also a featured speaker at a large rally in Washington on Dec. 12, 2020, backing Trump’s desperate efforts to subvert his election loss.
In text messages later filed in court, Rhodes — the Oath Keepers leader — and other members discussed how members of the group had worked with another far-right group, 1st Amendment Praetorians, or 1AP, to provide personal security to Flynn that day. A photograph taken by UPI shows Flynn leaving the rally with Rhodes and at least one member of 1AP.
The House committee has subpoenaed 1AP Founder Robert Patrick Lewis, noting in a letter to Lewis that he claimed to coordinate regularly with Flynn and also claimed to be in contact with Rhodes prior to Jan. 6.
Lewis, who has not been charged in Jan. 6, has said the group was made up of military and law enforcement veterans, and provided pro bono security and intelligence in the months after the election. In a recent defamation lawsuit, Lewis and another member of 1AP, Philip Luelsdorff, have denied involvement with the planning or execution of the Capitol attack, and said that 1AP has never been a militia or paramilitary group.

INCHEON, South Korea, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung Biologics (KRX: 207940.KS), the world's leading contract development and manufacturing organization, today published its second annual ESG Report, reflecting the company's sustainability efforts in 2021 to address a wide range of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities related to its business. The report also provides increased transparency on its approach and achievements in the following areas: reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhanced social contribution activities, and evaluations in the Board of Directors' structure.
John Rim, President and CEO of Samsung Biologics, said: "Under our 'Driven. For a Sustainable Life.' framework, we are continuously improving and committing our resources to create a sustainable environment, build a healthy society, and implement responsible business activities. The publication of our annual ESG Report reinforces the progress we've made, while keeping us focused on the long-term goals we've set. Our sustainability initiatives reinforce the connection between the work we do and how we fulfill our mission, while delivering on our core values of always putting people and the environment first."
This year's report highlights the company's progress in reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 32.3% compared to the previous year, and its commitment to reduce total Scope 1 and 2 emissions 54.3% and Scope 3 emissions 25.7% by 2026, compared to 2021. The company is also actively working to engage its suppliers to transition to net zero emissions in multiple areas and invest in renewable energy.
Samsung Biologics' commitment to addressing the most critical issues facing the planet is underscored by a series of global initiatives and projects to deliver progress related to climate change. Significant milestones include:
- To accelerate the delivery of net zero, sustainable healthcare to improve individual, societal, and planetary health, Samsung Biologics is actively involved in the Health Systems Taskforce as part of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales' Sustainable Markets Initiative, alongside global leaders from across the healthcare system, academia, and international organizations like the WHO and UNICEF.
- To foster collaborative solutions, Samsung Biologics also announced its participation in the Frontier 1.5D initiative to develop a climate risk management model as part of the 2050 Carbon Neutral Strategy in response to the ongoing challenges associated with global climate change.
- Through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Samsung Biologics, as a business sector representative, will determine the risks and opportunities within its business to address climate change, and then analyze the financial impact to adjust its response policies in relation to factors such as the reduction of GHG emissions.
Using Pricewaterhouse Coopers' Total Impact Measurement and Management methodology as a guiding principle, Samsung Biologics has contributed 1.6 trillion Korean won in economic and social value creation. The company detailed its social contribution activities to provide youth education and scholarship support, equitable access to quality and affordable healthcare services, and childcare support. In joint partnership with other Samsung affiliates, the company has introduced new programs like Dream Class to provide career counseling for middle school students in low-income families and the Stepping Stone of Hope project to offer self-sufficiency training and support for at-risk youth.
The company is also supporting ESG activities of its partner companies and requiring suppliers to comply with the company's Supplier Code of Conduct, which was amended this February in accordance with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Initiative (PSCI). Through these activities, Samsung Biologics aims to reduce ESG risk in its supply chain and build a stable network of partners.
As noted in the report, the company established increased independence and transparency in its Board structure by separating the Chair and CEO positions, and granting outside directors the right to request documentation. Through its robust compliance management system, the company also minimized management risks and strengthened its responsibility towards human rights, health, and the environment through prevention training, rigorous reporting and monitoring, and follow-up management. In March of last year, the company established a cross-organization taskforce to prevent serious accidents through process risk assessment, risk management, and potential risk identification and improvement.
