A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 22, 2022. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose: (1) Envigo RMS, LLC ("Envigo") and Inotiv's Cumberland, Virginia facility (the "Cumberland Facility") engaged in widespread and flagrant violations of the Animal Welfare Act ("AWA"); (2) Envigo and Inotiv's Cumberland Facility continuously violated the AWA; (3) Envigo and Inotiv did not properly remedy issues with regards to animal welfare at the Cumberland Facility; (4) as a result, Inotiv was likely to face increased scrutiny and governmental action; (5) Inotiv would imminently shut down two facilities, including the Cumberland Facility; (6) Inotiv did not engage in proper due diligence; and (7) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Inotiv class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=6426 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

HOUSTON (AP) — A lawyer representing two dozen women who have accused Deshaun Watson of sexual assault or harassment said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has a chance to “do the right thing” now that the league has appealed a six-game suspension for the Cleveland Browns quarterback. “Every victim of sexual assault is watching Roger Goodell and the NFL right now. … Mr. Goodell, what will you do? It’s never too late to do the right thing,” attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the women who sued Watson over their allegations, said Thursday. “That’s what these women and those watching are expecting.” The NFL has sought to keep Watson off the field in 2022 and appealed an independent disciplinary officer’s decision that fell short of the league’s recommended penalty. The appeal gives Goodell or someone he designates the authority to increase Watson’s penalty. On Thursday, Goodell named former New Jersey Attorney General Peter C. Harvey as his designee to hear the appeal. Buzbee spoke before the league made the announcement. Afterward, he told CBS: “I’ve said and will say: Bravo to the NFL. It’s never too late to do the right thing.” The NFL is seeking an indefinite suspension of at least one year plus a significant fine in appealing the suspension, a person familiar with the filing told The Associated Press on Wednesday. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter isn’t public knowledge, also said Watson would be required to undergo evaluation and treatment as determined by medical experts before he could be reinstated. Former federal judge Sue L. Robinson issued her ruling Monday. She concluded Watson violated the league’s personal conduct policy after being accused by the women of sexual misconduct during massage treatments while he played for Houston. Watson, who was with the Texans for four seasons before sitting out last season and then being traded to Cleveland in March, recently settled 23 of 24 lawsuits filed by the women. Two grand juries in Texas declined to indict Watson on criminal complaints brought by 10 of the women. Watson has denied any wrongdoing. He has continued to practice with the Browns while awaiting resolution of his case. Ashley Solis, the first woman to file a lawsuit against Watson, sat next to Buzbee as he discussed the case before taking the podium to share her thoughts on the suspension. Solis inhaled deeply and took several seconds to compose herself before recounting the abuse she said she has received since coming forward, including death threats and online harassment that led her into a deep depression. “What do the actions of the NFL say to little girls who have suffered at the hands of someone perceived to have power?” she said. “That it’s not a big deal. That they don’t care.” Per the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players Association, Watson’s disciplinary case had to go before a jointly appointed disciplinary officer. This was Robinson’s first case since the new CBA was signed in 2020. Buzbee said he reached out to many of the other women following news of the suspension and he shared some of their reactions Thursday. “I’m disgusted and heartbroken,” he said one of the women told him. “It’s like we don’t even matter. I feel like we’re invisible.” Buzbee criticized the NFL’s handling of the investigation and said he questioned why one of the first questions asked to his 10 clients who were interviewed by the NFL was: “What were you wearing?” “We never expected much from the NFL’s investigation. We never expected much from their flawed process,” Buzbee said. “Even when you know you’re going to be slapped in the face, that slap still hurts and it still stings.” The person familiar with the filing told the AP that the league attempted to interview all of the women but Buzbee stopped returning messages from the NFL’s investigators. The league’s investigation, which resulted in a 215-page report, was conducted by two former prosecutors with decades of experience investigating sexual assault cases. The investigators interviewed 49 people, including 12 of 24 plaintiffs, Watson, and third-party witnesses, including witnesses identified by Watson’s attorneys. Investigators also reviewed documentary evidence, including documents provided by Watson’s counsel from civil litigation. Robinson said in her decision: “My credibility determinations are based largely on the credibility of the NFL investigators.” Solis said she doesn’t regret speaking out. She said she has been helped by letters and emails from strangers expressing support for her and that she’ll continue to tell her story to make sure young women know they have a voice. “If anyone has ever tried to abuse their status and overpower you, remind them that they picked the wrong one to try that with,” she said. “That’s exactly what I am — the wrong one. And I’ll keep showing my face and keep speaking up for as long as I can.” ___ AP Pro Football Writer Rob Maaddi contributed to this story. ___ More AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL

PHILADELPHIA - Noah Syndergaard pitched a five-inning complete game in his Phillies debut, a 5-4, 4 1/2-inning victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday. The right-hander was acquired from the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday and was slotted into the rotation two days later. It was a bit of a rocky start as Syndergaard gave up 11 hits and four earned runs while striking out two without a walk, but he still ended up with the victory. As the wind picked up and lightning crashed in the distance in the top of the fifth inning, the pitcher nicknamed Thor for his 6-foot-6 frame and long blond hair tried to close out the frame that would make the game official. After giving up four hits and two runs that made it 5-4, Syndergaard worked out of the inning when he induced a short fly ball to right with one out, and Nick Castellanos threw runner Yadiel Hernandez out at the plate trying to score, completing the double play to end the inning. It also ended the game as heavy rain started a minute later, and the tarp came out on the field. The contest was eventually called with the minimum amount of game played for it to be official. Syndergaard is back in the National League East. He was a member of the Mets from 2015 until 2021. Rhys Hoskins hit a solo home run in the first and Alec Bohm connected for a three-run shot in a four-run third as the Phillies built a 5-2 lead. Because of Castellanos’ throw and heavy rain, that was enough. The Phillies ended the day tied with the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals for the final playoff spot in the National League.

China launches Level IV emergency response for floods BEIJING, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The China National Commission for Disaster Reduction and the Ministry of Emergency Management on Thursday jointly initiated a Level IV emergency response for flood relief in several areas, including the city of Panjin, northeast China's Liaoning Province. Work teams have been dispatched to assist with local disaster relief and flood control efforts, according to the ministry. The Raoyang River in Panjin saw two rounds of rainstorms hit the area in July. The flood was the most severe ever recorded, leading to the river to burst its dyke on Monday. More than 6,000 local residents have been relocated. Heavy downpours are expected to hit some parts of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and northeast China in the next three days, according to the country's meteorological department. China has a four-tier flood control emergency response system, with Level I being the most severe response.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A judge on Thursday ruled that Kevin Spacey and his production companies must pay the makers of “House of Cards” nearly $31 million because of losses brought on by his 2017 firing for the sexual harassment of crew members. The ruling from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mel Red Recana gives the force of law to the $30.9 award in favor of MRC and other companies that produced the Netflix series by a private arbitrator who heard the case against Spacey. Recana wrote that Spacey and his attorneys “fail to demonstrate that this is even a close case” and “do not demonstrate that the damages award was so utterly irrational that it amounts to an arbitrary remaking of the parties’ contracts.” “We are pleased with the court’s ruling,” MRC attorney Michael Kump said in an email to The Associated Press. Spacey has denied the allegations through his attorneys and his spokesperson, who did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The arbitrator found that Spacey violated his contract’s demands for professional behavior by “engaging certain conduct in connection with several crew members in each of the five seasons that he starred in and executive produced House of Cards,” according to a filing from Kump requesting the approval. As a result, MRC had to fire Spacey, halt production of the show’s sixth season, rewrite it to remove Spacey’s central character, and shorten it from 13 to eight episodes to meet deadlines, resulting in tens of millions in losses, according to court documents. Spacey’s attorneys argued in their own filings that the decision to exclude him from the show’s sixth season came before the internal investigation that led the crew members to come forward, and thus was not part of a contract breach. They argued that the actor’s actions were not a substantial factor in the show’s losses. The ruling from the private arbitrator came after a legal fight of more than three years and an eight-day evidentiary hearing that was kept secret from the public, along with the rest of the dispute, until a panel of three more private arbitrators rejected Spacey’s appeal and upheld the decision in November. The 63-year-old Oscar winner’s career came to an abrupt halt late in 2017 as the #MeToo movement gained momentum and allegations against him emerged from several places. Spacey was fired or removed from projects, most notably “House of Cards,” the Netflix political thriller where for five seasons he played lead character Frank Underwood, a power-hungry congressman who becomes president. Last month, Spacey pleaded not guilty in London to charges of sexually assaulting three men a decade or more ago, when he was director of the Old Vic theater there. His lawyer said he “strenuously denies” the allegations. He is set to face trial next year. Another criminal case brought against him, an indecent assault and battery charge stemming from the alleged groping of an 18-year-old man at a Nantucket resort, was dismissed by Massachusetts prosecutors in 2019. Spacey also faces lawsuits from other men, including actor Anthony Rapp. ___ Follow AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton on Twitter: https://twitter.com/andyjamesdalton

Nolan Out Loud: Dixon off to Texas to join Trump, Bannon It is a little jarring to see Tudor Dixon listed among the speakers at this weekend's Texas Political Action Committee, along with former President Donald Trump, his one-time henchman Steve Bannon, his Fox News mouthpiece Sean Hannity, bomb throwing Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and the other bright lights of the far right. These are the hard core Republicans, the enablers of Trump. Dixon has already won the GOP primary. She has conservative voters behind her. She needs now to gain the independents and hang on to traditional Republicans. Standing among the conspiracy theorists and Trump cultists at Texas CPAC works against that goal. But, unfortunately, that's where the money is. And Dixon has to raise a lot of cash in a hurry. Red Wave v. Roe Kaitlyn Buss warns the Red Wave Republicans have been anticipating all year for the midterm elections may crash against the rock of abortion. The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade will be a motivator for Democratic voters and many independents, some of whom might have voted Republican because of inflation and unhappiness with President Joe Biden's many failures. Whitmer bypasses democracy Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is again setting aside democratic governing and acting unilaterally to change Michigan law. She voided the law ending the prevailing wage that was passed by the Legislature through a citizens initiative. If she gets away with this, no law is safe from her pen. See our editorial. ETC. Michigan will have no Black congressional representative for the first time in 70 years. But with Shri Thanedar, who is Indian, and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, who is Arabic, and African American Republicans John James and John Gibbs all winning their primaries, Michigan could end up with its most diverse congressional delegation ever. Four of the 13 members could be people of color. Forget the Fight for $15. Long Beach and three other California citizens are moving laws that would set a $25 minimum wage for health care workers.

New banner at Centennial Field honors African-American baseball player with ties to Vermont He only played one year of professional baseball and it was in Vermont. He only played one year of professional baseball and it was in Vermont. He only played one year of professional baseball and it was in Vermont. An African-American baseball player, with ties to Burlington, was honored with a banner on Thursday at Centennial Field almost 95 years after he died. William Clarence Matthews was born in Selma, Alabama, and eventually sought out higher education in New England. That eventually led him to Harvard, where he became one of the best college baseball players of his time. Matthews only played one year of professional baseball, however, and it was in Vermont. Karl Lindholm, a former faculty member and baseball alum from Middlebury College, has spent years uncovering the history behind this pioneer. "It was very exciting to read he spent one season in the northern league of Vermont," Lindholm said. "This will be wonderful because more people will know something about him." Lake Monsters players from Ivy League schools joined organizers from the University of Vermont and researchers involved in the project to celebrate the new addition to the 100-year-old grandstands. The Ivy League trophy given to the league's championship baseball team every year is named after Matthews. "We've had guys play here in the past," Sean Matson, a sophomore at Harvard, said. "Now, there's a deep connection with William Matthews." Jordan Kelly, an outfielder from Princeton, said this was the first time he ever heard of William Matthews. The sophomore added that he is grateful to have been a part of this ceremony, and wants to carry on the legacy of Matthews. "He had a lot to prove," Kelly said. "To represent the Ivy Leagues as not only a baseball player but an African American baseball player, I think this is something really special."

AT&T to bring back HBO Max to its wireless plans AT&T quietly removed the HBO Max free offering along with the Unlimited Elite plan back in June probably due to financial reasons. However, it looks like the carrier has reached a new agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery for the distribution of HBO Max once again. The new agreement replaces the earlier one that offered HBO Max to AT&T’s internet customers, but that’s just about all the information the carrier revealed today. An AT&T official states that “this adjusted agreement represents an important step in positioning both AT&T and Warner Bros. Discovery for continued success.” Previously, AT&T offered the $15-per-month ad-free HBO Max package with the Unlimited Elite plan, as well as the ad-supported bundle with an unlimited plan via its Cricket prepaid service.

The Labor Department's closely watched employment report on Friday is expected to paint a picture of an economy muddling through despite back-to-back quarters of contraction in gross domestic product, the broadest measure of U.S. economic activity. Though demand for labor has eased in sectors like housing and retail that are sensitive to the higher interest rates being engineered by the Federal Reserve in its battle against inflation, industries like airlines and restaurants cannot find enough workers. "The labor market is no longer tinder box hot," said Sung Won Sohn, professor of finance and economics at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. "But it remains pretty healthy and does not meet the National Bureau of Economic Research's broad definition of a contraction in the economy." The NBER, the official arbiter of recessions in the United States defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in production, employment, real income, and other indicators." Still, government data last week showing a second straight quarter of negative GDP - which meets a popular rule-of-thumb definition for recessions - has fanned widespread debate over whether the U.S. economy is in fact in a downturn and has brought the employment report for July into even sharper relief for consumers, investors and policymakers. Nonfarm payrolls likely increased by 250,000 jobs last month after rising by 372,000 in June, according to a Reuters survey of economists. That would mark the 19th straight month of payrolls expansion but would be the smallest increase in that span and below the first half monthly average of 457,000 jobs. Estimates ranged from as low as 75,000 to as high 325,000. The cooling in job growth could ease pressure on the Fed to deliver a third straight three-quarters of a percentage point interest rate increase at its next meeting in September, though much depends on inflation and employment readings in the run up to that gathering. The U.S. central bank last week raised its policy rate by 75 basis points and officials have pledged more hikes are coming as it tries to rein in inflation running at four-decade highs. Since March, it has lifted rates from near zero to their current range of 2.25% to 2.50%. "A slowdown in job growth should be welcome news for Fed officials, but a more material loosening of labor market conditions will be needed to take the heat off wage inflation," said Lydia Boussour, lead U.S. economist at Oxford Economics in New York. The economy contracted 1.3% in the first half of 2022, largely because of big swings in inventories and the trade deficit tied to snarled global supply chains. Still, momentum has cooled. Hours worked, levels of temporary workers and the breadth of job growth will be closely watched for clues on how soon the anticipated recession might begin. The average workweek has been hovering at 34.5 hours. BROAD SLOWDOWN The moderation in hiring was likely across the board last month. But government employment, which remained in the hole by 664,000 jobs in June, is a wild card as state and local government education has not followed typical seasonal patterns because of COVID-19 disruptions. This could throw off the model that the government uses to strip seasonal fluctuations from the data. "Normally, July state and local government education employment falls by 1 million," said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania. "This may not have occurred this year, and a smaller than normal decline will cause the seasonal adjustment factors to inflate the adjusted data." Economists are also eyeballing a possible drop in retail employment. High inflation - last measured at 9.1% year-on-year in June's Consumer Price Index - is forcing Americans to spend more on low-margin food products instead of apparel and other general merchandise, leaving retailers like Walmart Inc carrying excess inventory and issuing profit warnings. But the rising cost of living and fears of a recession are forcing some retirees and others who had left the labor market to search for work. That has increased the supply of workers somewhat, keeping the unemployment rate steady near its pre-pandemic lows. Given 10.7 million job openings at the end of June and 1.8 openings for every unemployed person, economists do not expect a sharp deceleration in payrolls growth this year. With the labor market still tight, average hourly earnings are forecast rising 0.3%, matching June's gain. That would lower the year-on-year increase to 4.9% - the lowest since December - from 5.1% in June. Though wage growth appears to have peaked, pressures remain. Data last week showed annual wage growth in the second quarter was the fastest since 2001. Economists will also keep an eye on employment levels reported in the report's more-volatile household survey, which had dropped by 315,000 jobs in June. The number of people working part time for economic reasons, will also be under scrutiny after plunging to the lowest since 2001 in June.

Plenty of teens participate in the War Bonnet Roundup rodeo every year but only one hangs off a glitter covered horse head first in a magenta and teal patterned leotard. Brooklyn Voigt, a 16 year old from Shelley, trick rides for rodeo audiences. Plenty of teens participate in the War Bonnet Roundup rodeo every year but only one hangs off a glitter covered horse head first in a magenta and teal patterned leotard. Brooklyn Voigt, a 16 year old from Shelley, trick rides for rodeo audiences. Voigt did various sports as a child trying to find her passion. “We tried everything; swimming, gymnastics — everything,” Lisa Voigt, Brooklyn’s mother said. “And then she found horses. She loves the horses.” Brooklyn started riding horses at 3 years old and began barrel racing at 8. Lisa Voigt grew up riding horses but never owned a horse or did rodeo events until little Brooklyn asked her for a horse. The family now owns 18 horses and Brooklyn rides in one the most complicated and dangerous events in the entire rodeo. Brooklyn started trick riding four years ago. Last year she started performing in rodeos like the Mackay, the Glenns Ferry Rodeo and the nearby War Bonnet Roundup. “I’m super excited,” Brooklyn said hours before her second performance of the week. “It’s a pretty big honor for me to be here.” Brooklyn has learned how to ride both locally and in other states. Local retired trick rider Kyzer Stoddard has helped her learn close to home. Anna Olson trick rode in Russia and China and performed in a circus. She helped train Brooklyn at the Red Top Ranch Trick Riding School in Avondale, Colorado. Brooklyn performs tricks on her horses Ringo and Gunner. Ringo’s the older (23 years) darker and shorter of her two horses. Brooklyn has partnered with him for 10 years. Gunner’s the younger horse (12) and she’s only performed tricks with him since earlier this year. “Gunner’s a little more high strung just because he’s newer at it and a little bit younger,” Brooklyn said. “And then Ringo’s my steady Eddy you can pretty much do anything on him. I started out barrel racing on him. He was the first barrel horse I trained.” Brooklyn’s tricks include the suicide drag, where one foot stays strapped in and the rider leans off of the side of the horse with a legs and hands free. Both hands touch the ground and her head hangs near the ground. She also does the Under the Neck, the Side Back Bend and the Spin the Horn Vaults. Her Thursday routine concluded with the Hippodrome where she stands atop her horse with the American flag as her horse sprints around the arena. “The things she does you would never dream of doing unless you were damn good at riding,” Kassi Jones, advisory board chairman for the rodeo who has rode horses since she was little. “The maneuvers that she pulls with those riders and the confidence and having the ability to trust horse, with the speed they’re going and what she’s doing is just unimaginable for me on so many levels. Even as a seasoned horse person.” Jones risks all types of injury as she rotates up and over her horses. But it might protect her from another type of damage. “It really is good for kids,” Lisa Voigt said of the rodeo. “It keeps them out of the mall.” Thank you .

DALLAS (AP) — Hungary’s autocratic Prime Minister Viktor Orban urged cheering American conservatives on Thursday to “take back the institutions,” stick to hardline stances on gay rights and immigration and fight for the next U.S. presidential election as a pivotal moment for their beliefs. The exuberant cheers and standing ovations at the Conservative Political Action Conference for the far-right prime minister, who has been criticized for undermining his own country’s democratic institutions, demonstrated the growing embrace between Orban and Republicans in the U.S. He mocked the media in this country and in Europe. And in a speech he titled “How We Fight,” Orban told the crowd gathered in a Dallas convention ballroom to focus now on the 2024 election, saying they had “two years to get ready,” though he endorsed no candidate or party. “Victory will never be found by taking the path of least resistance,” he said during one of the keynote slots of the three-day CPAC event. “We must take back the institutions in Washington and Brussels. We must find friends and allies in one another.” Referring to liberals, he said: “They hate me and slander me and my country, as they hate you and slander you for the America you stand for.” His entrance drew a bigger welcome than the governor of Texas, Republican Greg Abbott, received moments earlier on the same stage. From there, the cheers continued as Orban weaved through attacks on LGBTQ rights, boasted about reducing abortions in Hungary and celebrated hardline immigration measures back home. Other speakers will include former President Donald Trump — who met with Orban earlier this week and will address the gathering on Saturday — Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Republican candidates fresh off GOP primary election victories Tuesday. Orban’s visit to the U.S. came amid backlash back home and in Europe over anti-migrant remarks in which he railed against Europe becoming a “mixed race” society. One of his closest associates compared his comments to Nazi rhetoric and resigned in protest. Orban told the crowd in Texas the media would portray him as a racist strongman and dismissed those who would call his government racist as “idiots.” His invitation to CPAC reflects conservatives’ growing embrace of the Hungarian leader whose country has a single-party government. Orban also is considered the closest ally in the European Union to Russian President Vladimir Putin. White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said Thursday that President Joe Biden had no plans to speak with Orban while he’s in the U.S. Asked if the administration had any concerns about CPAC inviting such a leader to speak at the high-profile conference, Kirby demurred. “He’s coming at a private invitation,” Kirby said. “Mr. Orban and the CPAC, they can talk about his visit.” Trump praised Orban, who has been prime minister for 12 years, after their meeting this week in Florida. “Few people know as much about what is going on in the world today,” the former president said in a statement after the meeting. To some attending the three-day conference, Orban is a model leader who makes an impression beyond Hungary because of his policies and personality. They praised him for his border security measures and for providing financial subsidies to Hungarian women, which Orban has called an effort to counter Hungary’s population decline. Lilla Vessey, who moved to Dallas from Hungary with her husband, Ede, in the 1980s, said what she hears back in Hungary is that Orban is not anti-democratic. “I don’t know how it happened that the conservatives kind of discovered him,” said Ede Vessey, 73. “He supports the traditional values. He supports the family.” Scott Huber, who met Orban along with other CPAC attendees at a private event hours before the speech, said the prime minister expressed hope the U.S. would “moderate a little bit from the far-left influences” in November’s midterm elections. The 67-year-old Pennsylvanian said he would not disagree with descriptions of Orban as autocratic and that he has upset democratic norms, but said he thought it would change in time. As to why Orban is winning over so many conservatives, Huber noted Orban’s attacks on George Soros, the American-Hungarian billionaire and philanthropist who is a staunch critic of Hungary’s government and a supporter of liberal causes. “That’s why I was so interested in seeing him,” Huber said. Through his communications office, Orban declined an interview request by The Associated Press prior to his speech in Dallas. The AP and other international news organizations also were prohibited from covering a CPAC conference held in Budapest in May, the group’s first conference in Europe. During that gathering, Orban called Hungary “the bastion of conservative Christian values in Europe” and urged conservatives in the U.S. to defeat “the dominance of progressive liberals in public life.” He has styled himself as a champion of what he calls “illiberal democracy.” Orban served as prime minister of Hungary between 1998 and 2002, but it’s his record since taking office again in 2010 that has drawn controversy and raised concerns about Hungary sliding into authoritarian rule. He has depicted himself as a defender of European Christendom against Muslim migrants, progressives and the “LGBTQ lobby.” Last year, his right-wing Fidesz party banned the depiction of homosexuality or sex reassignment in media targeting people under 18. Information on homosexuality also was forbidden in school sex education programs, or in films and advertisements accessible to minors. Some of the biggest applauses during Orban’s speech came when he described Hungary’s family framework. “To sum up, the mother is a woman, the father is a man, and leave our kids alone, full stop,” he said. Orban has consolidated power over the the country’s judiciary and media, and his party has drawn legislative districts in a way that makes it very difficult for opposition parties to win seats — somewhat similar to partisan gerrymandering efforts for state legislative and congressional seats in the U.S. That process currently favors Republicans because they control more of the state legislatures that create those boundaries. Orban’s moves have led international political observers to label him as the face of a new wave of authoritarianism. The European Union has launched numerous legal proceedings against Hungary for breaking EU rules and is withholding billions in recovery funds and credit over violations of rule-of-law standards and insufficient anti-corruption safeguards. ___ Associated Press writer Aamer Madhani in Washington contributed to this report.

Which morning sickness remedies are best? For many families, pregnancy is a beautiful experience and the start of something new. However, morning sickness can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable and generally ill. And since it can strike at any time during the first trimester, it can add unneeded stress to your life. Fortunately, there are several effective at-home morning sickness remedies you can try to improve your symptoms. What is morning sickness? According to Mayo Clinic, morning sickness most often occurs within 9 weeks of conception and continues throughout the first trimester of pregnancy. Despite the name, it can happen at any time, not just in the morning. Symptoms include nausea and vomiting, both of which start to diminish sometime during the second trimester. Morning sickness triggers Hormonal changes are thought to be the main cause of morning sickness, but other triggers include: - Eating spicy, fatty, greasy or sugary foods - Alcohol or dairy - Sudden strong smells - Things that trigger the gag reflex, brushing teeth right after eating Severe morning sickness symptoms While nausea and vomiting are normal symptoms of morning sickness, it’s advised to consult a doctor if you experience any of the following: - Severe nausea or vomiting - Abdominal pain - High fever - Sudden weight loss - Decreased or painful urination Ways to help with morning sickness at home Watch your diet It’s important to maintain a healthy, balanced diet, especially while pregnant. With that in mind, certain foods can help reduce or prevent the symptoms of morning sickness, such as: - Starchy foods such as crackers, nuts, potatoes, rice and bread - Protein-rich foods such as yogurt, seeds or cottage cheese - Sour candies that are high in citric acid you can suck on to ease nausea and help with digestion - Ginger to reduce the frequency of nausea - Other bland foods such as applesauce, bananas, oatmeal, brothy soups or oatmeal After eating, try to stay upright for a while. This aids in digestion and can help prevent queasiness. Stay hydrated Drinking too much water could add to your nausea, but so can being dehydrated. Try to drink enough to stay hydrated without filling full. Beverages that could help include: - Water with freshly squeezed lemon - Fruit-infused water - Ginger ale or lemon-lime soda - Herbal or fruity tea Take vitamins and supplements There are several over-the-counter remedies and supplements that can help ease the symptoms of morning sickness, especially nausea. These include: - Ginger lozenges - Vitamin B6 - Doxylamine sleep aids There are also prescription anti-nausea medications, such as Zofran, which can help if symptoms persist. Either way, consult a doctor before adding vitamins or supplements to your diet, especially if you’re experiencing other complications with pregnancy. Use essential oils and other scents Overpowering smells can contribute to nausea, but certain scents can actually combat it. This includes: - Peppermint essential oil - Lavender essential oil - Citrus (orange, lemon, lime) - Chamomile - Ginger Avoid any scents that do not appeal to you or that make you feel queasy. Use an acupressure wristband An acupressure or motion-sickness wristband can reduce the feeling of nausea and help prevent vomiting.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones bulled through the first of several trials against him that could decimate his personal fortune and media empire in his usual way: Loud, aggressive and talking about conspiracies both in and out the courtroom. It’s business as usual for the gravelly voiced, barrel-chested Jones. But by courtroom standards, his erratic and, at times, disrespectful behavior is unusual — and potentially complicated for the legal process. Jones and his media company, Free Speech Systems, were ordered Thursday to pay $4.11 million in compensatory damages to the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, who was killed with 19 other first graders and six educators in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown, Connecticut. And significantly more could be on the way. Although the more-than $4 million was significantly less than the $150 million in damages Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis are seeking, the jury meets again Friday to hear about Jones’ finances before deciding on punitive damages. Jones faces two more Sandy Hook trials to determine damages later this year: One for parents of a 6-year-old boy in an Austin court, and another for eight families in Connecticut. Heslin and Lewis have testified that Jones’ constant push of false claims that the shooting was a hoax or staged made the last decade a “living hell’ of death threats, online abuse and unrelenting trauma inflicted by Jones and his followers. After years of false hoax claims, Jones admitted under oath that the shooting was “100% real” and even shook hands with the parents. But the bombastic version of Jones was always lurking under the surface, or even on full display away from the courthouse. During a break on the first day, he held an impromptu news conference just a few feet from the courtroom doors, declaring the proceedings a “kangaroo court” and “show trial” railroading his fight for free speech under the First Amendment. On the first day, he arrived at the courthouse with “Save the 1st” written on silver tape over his mouth. When he came to the courthouse, it was always with a security detail of three or four guards. Jones, who wasn’t in court for the verdict, often skipped testimony to appear on his daily Infowars program, where the attacks on the judge and jury continued. During one show, Jones said the jury was pulled from a group of people who “don’t know what planet they live on.” That clip was shown to the jury. So was a snapshot from his Infowars website showing Judge Maya Guerra Gamble engulfed in flames. She laughed at that. Jones was only slightly less combative in court. He was the only witness to testify in his defense and Gamble knew it had the potential to go off the rails. She warned Jones’ lawyers before it even started that if he tried to turn it into a performance, she would clear the courtroom and shut down the livestream broadcasting the trial to the world. When Jones arrived for Lewis’ testimony, Gamble asked if he was chewing gum, a violation of a strict rule in her courtroom. She’d scolded his attorney Andino Reynal several times already. That led to a testy exchange. Jones said he wasn’t chewing gum. Gamble said she could see his mouth moving. Jones opened wide and leaned over the defense table to show her a gap in his mouth where he’d had a tooth extracted. Jones insisted he was only massaging the hole with his tongue. “Don’t show me,” the judge said. Some legal experts said they were surprised by Jones’ behavior and questioned whether it was a calculated risk to boost his appeal to fans. “It’s the most bizarre behavior I have ever seen at a trial,” said Barry Covert, a Buffalo, New York, First Amendment lawyer. “In my opinion, Jones is a money making juggernaut — crazy like a fox,” Covert said. “The bigger the spectacle, the better.” Kevin Goldberg, a First Amendment specialist at the Maryland-based Freedom Forum, said he found it hard to imagine what Jones might be thinking and what benefit he could derive from his behavior. “I don’t know what it is designed to accomplish other than being on brand for Alex Jones,” said Goldberg. “This seem to be a man who has built his brand … on disrespecting the institutions of government … and this court.” Defendants at trial are often given some leeway because they have so much at stake — prison in criminal cases and, in Jones’ civil trial, potential financial ruin. Monetary sanctions or even post-trial contempt charges are also a possibility. Gamble had to be careful how she handled it all, Covert said. “Jones’ bizarre behavior is putting the judge in a very difficult box,” said Covert. “She doesn’t want to appear to put her finger on the scales of justice.” Jones skipped Heslin’s testimony when he described for the jury holding his dead son in his arms with a “bullet hole through his head.” Heslin said he wanted to confront Jones face-to-face and called his absence that day “cowardly.” Jones was instead appearing on his daily broadcast. Jones was in the room when Lewis took the stand, sitting barely 10 feet away as she looked directly at him. “My son existed. I am not ‘deep state,’ she said of the conspiracy theory of a shadowy network of federal workers running the government. “I know you know that,” Lewis said. When Lewis asked Jones if he thought she was an actor, Jones answered “No,” but was cut off by Gamble who scolded him for speaking out of turn. At the end of that day, Jones and the parents shook hands. Lewis even handed him a sip of water to help calm a persistent cough Jones said was caused by a torn larynx. Her attorney Wesley Ball quickly stepped in to break it up. “No,” Ball snapped at Jones, “You are NOT doing this.” Jones was the only witness in his defense. His testimony pushed the rules of the court so often that the plaintiffs openly questioned whether Jones and his attorneys were trying to sabotage the court and force a mistrial. They filed a motion for sanctions against them after Jones claimed he was bankrupt, which attorneys dispute and was off limits in testimony. At one point, Jones appeared flabbergasted when the family’s attorneys announced that Jones’ legal team had mistakenly sent them two years’ worth of data from his cell phone — a massive data dump they said should have been produced in discovery but wasn’t. They said it proved he’d been receiving texts and emails about Sandy Hook and his media company’s finances that he hadn’t turned over under court orders. “This is your Perry Mason moment,” Jones snapped. Plaintiff’s attorney Mark Bankston said Thursday that the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol had requested those materials and that he intended to give it to them. The Jan. 6 committee first subpoenaed Jones in November, demanding a deposition and documents related to his efforts to spread misinformation about the 2020 election and a rally on the day of the attack. During the trial, Jones often spoke out of turn, and was cut off when he veered into conspiracies, ranging from the Sept. 11 terror attacks being staged to a fake effort of the United Nations on world depopulation. He continued to call into question some of the biggest events and significant government institutions in American life. “This,” the judge told him, “is not your show.” ___ Tarm reported from Chicago. ___ For more of the AP’s coverage of school shootings: https://apnews.com/hub/school-shootings

TOKYO (AP) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that China will not isolate Taiwan by preventing U.S. officials from traveling there. She made the remarks in Tokyo on the final leg of an Asia tour highlighted by a visit to Taiwan that infuriated China. The Chinese have tried to isolate Taiwan, Pelosi said, including most recently by preventing it from joining the World Health Organization. “They may try to keep Taiwan from visiting or participating in other places, but they will not isolate Taiwan by preventing us to travel there,” she said. Pelosi said her trip to Taiwan was not intended to change the status quo for the island but to maintain peace in the Taiwan Strait. She also praised Taiwan’s hard-fought democracy, including its progress in diversity and success in technology and business, and criticized China’s violations of trade agreements, proliferation of weapons and human rights problems. Pelosi, the first House speaker to visit Taiwan in 25 years, said Wednesday in Taipei that the U.S. commitment to democracy in the self-governing island and elsewhere “remains ironclad.” Pelosi and five other members of Congress arrived in Tokyo late Thursday after visiting Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and South Korea. China, which claims Taiwan and has threatened to annex it by force if necessary, called her visit to the island a provocation and on Thursday began military drills, including missile strike training, in six zones surrounding Taiwan, in what could be its biggest since the mid-1990s. Earlier Friday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that China’s military exercises aimed at Taiwan represent a “grave problem” that threatens regional peace and security after five ballistic missiles launched as part of the drills landed in Japan’s exclusive economic zone. Kishida, speaking after breakfast with Pelosi and her congressional delegation, said the missile launches need to be “stopped immediately.” In Taipei on Wednesday, Pelosi said the American commitment to democracy in Taiwan and elsewhere “remains ironclad.” She became the first House speaker to visit the island in 25 years. Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi said five missiles landed on Thursday in Japan’s exclusive economic zone off Hateruma, an island far south of Japan’s main islands. He said Japan protested to China, saying the missiles “threatened Japan’s national security and the lives of the Japanese people, which we strongly condemn.” Japanese Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, attending a regional meeting in Cambodia, said China’s actions are “severely impacting peace and stability in the region and the international community, and we demand the immediate suspension of the military exercises.” Japan has in recent years bolstered its defense capability and troop presence in southwestern Japan and remote islands, including Okinawa, which is about 700 kilometers (420 miles) northeast of Taiwan. Many residents say they worry their island will be quickly embroiled in any Taiwan conflict. Okinawa is home to the majority of about 50,000 American troops based in Japan under a bilateral security pact. At the breakfast earlier Friday, Pelosi and her congressional delegation also discussed their shared security concern over China, North Korea and Russia, and pledged their commitment to working toward peace and stability in Taiwan, Kishida said. Pelosi was also to hold talks with her Japanese counterpart, lower house Speaker Hiroyuki Hosoda. Japan and its key ally, the U.S., have been pushing for new security and economic frameworks with other democracies in the Indo-Pacific region and Europe as a counter to China’s growing influence amid rising tensions between Beijing and Taipei. Days before Pelosi’s Taiwan visit, a group of senior Japanese lawmakers, including former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba, visited the island and discussed regional security with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen. Ishiba said Japan, while working with the United States to prevent conflict in the Indo-Pacific, wants a defense agreement with Taiwan. On Thursday, the foreign ministers of the Group of Seven industrialized nations issued a statement saying “there is no justification to use a visit as pretext for aggressive military activity in the Taiwan Strait.” It said China’s “escalatory response risks increasing tensions and destabilizing the region.” China cited its displeasure over the statement for the last-minute cancellation of talks between the Chinese and Japanese foreign ministers on the sidelines of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations meeting in Cambodia on Thursday. Pelosi held talks on Thursday in South Korea, also a key U.S. ally, which stayed away from the Taiwan issue, apparently to avoid upsetting China, focusing instead on North Korea’s increasing nuclear threat. In recent years, South Korea has been struggling to strike a balance between the United States and China as their rivalry has deepened. The Chinese military exercises launched Thursday involve its navy, air force and other departments and are to last until Sunday. They include missile strikes on targets in the seas north and south of the island in an echo of the last major Chinese military drills in 1995 and 1996 aimed at intimidating Taiwan’s leaders and voters. Taiwan has put its military on alert and staged civil defense drills, while the U.S. has numerous naval assets in the area. China also flew war planes toward Taiwan and blocked imports of its citrus and fish. China sees the island as a breakaway province and considers visits to Taiwan by foreign officials as recognizing its sovereignty. The Biden administration and Pelosi have said the United States remains committed to the so-called one-China policy, which recognizes Beijing as the government of China but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei. The administration discouraged but did not prevent Pelosi from visiting. Pelosi has been a long-time advocate of human rights in China. She, along with other lawmakers, visited Beijing’s Tiananmen Square in 1991 to support democracy two years after a bloody military crackdown on protesters at the square. As leader of the House of Representatives, Pelosi’s trip has heightened U.S.-China tensions more than visits by other members of Congress. The last House speaker to visit Taiwan was Newt Gingrich in 1997. China and Taiwan, which split in 1949 after a civil war, have no official relations but multibillion-dollar business ties. ___ Associated Press writers Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul, South Korea, and Huizhong Wu in Taipei, Taiwan, contributed to this report.

Arsenal ready to go to a 'different level,' says Arteta Aug 5 (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side are ready to go to a "different level" this season and that the additions of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko will help develop the younger members of the squad. "We are ready to go to a different level, and I am convinced of that," Arteta told reporters ahead of their season-opening trip to Crystal Palace later on Friday. "What the other teams are doing is obvious, others had already a much stronger squad than we had, and they still recruited four or five, or some of them seven players. "This is not going to get any easier, so we can just focus on what we are trying to do, what we can do, because we cannot do everything at the same time." Arsenal, who finished fifth last season, brought in Jesus and Zinchenko from Manchester City for a combined 75 million pounds ($91.04 million). The pair were part of an immensely successful team that won four league titles in five seasons, and Arteta said their experience would benefit Arsenal's younger players. "Those players have been inspired by top players, top professionals, ruthless winners for many years, and they were looking at them," Arteta said. "Now it's their turn to do the same and inspire those younger players that we have in our squad to do the same, to show them what it takes to win and the level of detail, hunger and dedication that you need to keep winning." ($1 = 0.8239 pounds) (Reporting by Aadi Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Peter Rutherford )

WNBA’s Griner convicted at drug trial, sentenced to 9 years KHIMKI, Russia (AP) – A judge in Russia convicted American basketball star Brittney Griner of drug possession and smuggling. She was sentenced to nine years in prison in a politically charged case that could lead to a high-stakes prisoner exchange between Washington and Moscow. Griner showed little emotion to the sentence but her lawyers said later she was “very upset, very stressed.” U.S. President Joe Biden denounced as “unacceptable” the verdict and sentence, which came amid soaring tensions between the U.S. and Russia over Ukraine. Griner had told the court she had no intention to break the law by bringing vape cartridges with cannabis oil when she flew to Moscow to play basketball in the city of Yekaterinburg. EXPLAINER: What will it take to get Brittney Griner home? WASHINGTON (AP) – Now that WNBA star Brittney Griner has been convicted of drug possession and sentenced to nine years in prison, attention turns to the prospect of a prisoner swap between the United States and Russia that could get her home. Secretary of State Antony Blinken went public with that possibility last week, revealing in an unusual announcement that the U.S. had made a “substantial proposal” aimed at securing the release of Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. With her court case concluded and her sentence pronounced, such a deal is Griner’s best chance of being freed early. (Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Biden, Republicans spar over impact of Dems’ economic plan WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats call it the “Inflation Reduction Act.” Republicans say it’s a “tax and spending spree.” And everyone has a study they say proves it. Recent bipartisan action in Congress on matters ranging from producing computer chips to expanding NATO isn’t extending to the latest economic package from Democrats, which is generating a battle of dueling statistics and projections over whether it would help or hurt the economy. For President Joe Biden, the Senate Democrats’ $739 billion package can help lower inflation, cut the budget deficit, address climate change and lower medical bills — a message that he’s trying to sell to the wider country amid intense Republican criticism. Biden appeared at a virtual event Thursday to highlight the proposal with leaders from General Motors, Cummins, Kaiser Permanente and the AFL-CIO, among other organizations. He called on Congress to listen to the public, dig into the numbers and vote for the bill. “Look at the facts,” Biden said. “Pass it. Get it to my desk. Pass it for the American people. Pass it for businesses and workers. Pass it for America.” But GOP lawmakers have their own sets of numbers. They counter that the 15% minimum corporate tax included in the package would hit U.S. factories and middle-class workers. They say energy costs would increase. The number of approved prescription drugs coming onto market would decline because of price caps, according to a University of Chicago analysis. They say IRS audits would affect more people. “This bill will slam manufacturing,” Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, said Wednesday. “The bottom line here is this tax is dangerous for America.” Republican senators quickly cried foul after Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., struck the deal last week. Late Thursday, the agreement drew the backing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., a centrist seen as the pivotal vote in the 50-50 chamber. What many economists say is that the plan could modestly reduce inflation in the long term and improve the federal government’s financial outlook. But it’s unknown whether a skeptical public will trust the experts or stick to their beliefs and the most emotionally resonant talking points. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the proposal would reduce budget deficits by $305 billion over the next decade. That includes roughly $200 billion from increasing IRS funding by $80 billion. The tax agency will be able audit people making more than $400,000 and collect taxes that are owed but going unpaid. But the size of the deficit reduction could be even greater. The Treasury Department estimates indicate that IRS enforcement could raise a net $400 billion over the next decade, while improving customer service such that the agency could go from answering just 15% of its phone calls to all of them, according to a senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal figures. The private Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates the deficit reduction could be as much as $1.9 trillion over two decades, largely because Medicare would be able to negotiate down the price of prescription drugs. The Penn Wharton Budget Model estimates that inflation would decline after 2024, though the effect would be statistically negligible. On Tuesday, congressional leaders were sent a letter signed by 126 economists that concluded: “This proposal addresses some of the country’s biggest challenges at a significant scale. And because it is deficit-reducing, it does so while putting downward pressure on inflation.” Yet the measure carries some controversy because of how it relies on tax laws. The roughly $370 billion devoted to climate change includes tax breaks for “clean” electricity and for manufacturing, as well as breaks for buying electric vehicles. It would impose a fee on methane and charge a minimum tax of 15% on companies with more than $1 billion in profits. “It’s just a catalog of tax hikes and green boondoggles that Democrats have wanted for years, with a false new label slapped on the front,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Tueday. Republicans say the corporate tax would violate Biden’s pledge not to increase taxes on people making less than $400,000. Their evidence is an analysis by Congress’ Joint Tax Committee, which assumes that part of the cost of the tax would be passed on to workers in the form of lower pay. Columbia University economist Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel prize winner who worked in the Clinton administration, said the corporate minimum tax is unlikely to place a burden on workers because of its design. “That’s just what we just say is right wing rhetoric,” Stiglitz said. “The argument that it will be shifted either to customers or wages is very, very weak.” Still, higher taxes are likely to come at a cost. Based on estimates by the joint committee, Republicans note that nearly half of that minimum tax would hit manufacturers, a group that political leaders have often pledged to protect. Kyle Pomerleau, a senior fellow at the center-right American Enterprise Institute, estimated that the minimum tax could undermine the benefits of existing tax incentives for companies to invest in new equipment and buildings. Manchin has described the minimum tax as closing a “loophole” rather than a tax increase, while Pomerleau said the senator is inaccurate in his description. The “minimum tax doesn’t close any loopholes -- it leaves all the loopholes open,” Pomerleau said. “It just subjects companies to a parallel tax. It’s an unideal ‘patch’ on the tax code.” At the Thursday’s roundtable, Biden specifically asked manufacturers whether the bill would hurt or help them. Jennifer Rumsey, CEO of Cummins, which makes engines and power generation products, told him the bill would be “good for the economy and the environment.” “We need the right policies,” she said. “And many of those market-based incentives that we think are needed are included in the Inflation Reduction Act.” Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

I look forward with excitement to the coming year, which marks the start of a new chapter for Firmenich.", said Gilbert Ghostine, CEO of Firmenich. Operating Highlights - Continued to prioritize customer supply, preserving superior OTIF[3] service levels, in a particularly challenging global raw material and supply chain environment - Benefited from our ongoing investment in growing segments and differentiated offerings, including Sugar Reduction, Naturals & Renewable Ingredients, Plant-based Foods, Clean & Responsible Fragrances, e-commerce and digital channels - Continued investment in strategic markets, highlighted by the move to majority ownership of ArtSci in April 2022 to better serve the high-growth Chinese taste market - Ongoing strategic investment in innovation: - Raising the bar in ESG: improved our industry-leading Sustainalytics ESG risk score to 7.5, in the top 50 companies rated worldwide; recognized as one of the 2022 World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere; secured a fourth consecutive Triple "A" rating from CDP; and a second consecutive EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability Rating, with an industry-leading score of 88/100, in the top 1% of all companies assessed FY 2022 Performance In Fiscal Year 2022, we saw the global economy enter a challenging raw material and supply chain environment, compounded by high geopolitical instability, and new waves of Covid-19 in various regions. Against this backdrop, we delivered record Revenue growth across the business, as well as double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth and strong cash generation. We navigated this challenging environment with agility, prioritizing service and safety of supply for our customers. Our trustworthiness as a commercial partner, combined with the competitive advantage provided by our supply vertical integration, has helped us continue to gain market share. Revenue Revenue increased +11.1%, reaching CHF 4,723 million. Acquisitions contributed CHF 6 million or +0.1 percentage points to Revenue growth. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact of CHF -29 million or –0.7 percentage points, mainly due to the appreciation of the US dollar and the depreciation of the Euro relative to the Swiss Franc. On a reported basis, Revenue increased +10.5% year-over-year. Perfumery & Ingredients Revenue increased +11.3%, driven by the industry-leading growth and market share gains in Fine Fragrance (+32.5%), and strong customer demand in Ingredients. Consumer Fragrances grew by low single-digits against a backdrop of industry-wide softness. Taste & Beyond Revenue increased +10.7%, driven by our innovation portfolio and our commercial focus on strategic partnerships with key customers. Our differentiated offering in Sugar Reduction, Naturals & Renewable Ingredients, Plant-based Foods, and Clean & Responsible Fragrances continued to drive growth. We continued to outperform our key competitor, as a leader in our industry. In the second half of the Fiscal Year, we delivered double-digit Revenue growth of +10.0%, maintaining the momentum that we had at the beginning of the year. During FY22, on a geographical basis, we achieved strong Revenue growth across all regions and strong momentum in our key geographies, including Europe (+18.9%), India (+13.1%), China (+9.4%), and North America (+5.1%). Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA Like the rest of the industry, we have witnessed significant inflationary pressure on raw materials, energy and transportation costs, which accelerated in the second half of the year, as well as new waves of Covid-19 affecting various geographies. We have also faced an unfavorable evolution of foreign exchange rates, linked primarily to the strengthening of the Swiss franc against the Euro and other trading currencies. We took proactive actions to mitigate the negative effect of these challenges, including pricing in partnership with our customers, and cost discipline. Gross Profit reached CHF 1,847 million, up +5.0% on a reported basis. Gross Margin, as a percentage of Revenue, decreased by -210 basis points compared to the previous year, to 39.1%. Adjusted EBITDA increased by double-digits to CHF 905 million, up +10.9% year-over-year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by +13.1%. Including the 12-month impact pro-forma impact of acquisitions, Adj. EBITDA was CHF 916m. Adjusted EBITDA margin, as a percentage of Revenue, increased to 19.2%, up +10 basis points compared to the previous year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange, Adjusted EBITDA margin would have increased by +30 basis points. EBITDA was CHF 798 million, down -8.6% year-over-year, due to the impact of non-recurring expenses linked to the DSM-Firmenich merger. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, foreign exchange and non-recurring expenses related the DSM-Firmenich merger, EBITDA would have increased by +3.2%. Free Cash Flow We delivered strong free cash flow generation, reaching an EBITDA to Free Cash Flow conversion ratio of 51.8%, while prioritizing customer service levels and security of supply in a challenging global raw material and supply chain environment. Free Cash Flow decreased by -19.1% year-over-year to CHF 414 million. On a comparable basis, excluding CHF 72 million of exceptional items that positively affected Free Cash Flow in the previous year, Free Cash Flow decreased by -5.9%. Profit growth was offset by unfavorable working capital, linked to CHF 242 million of higher inventories, as a result of higher safety stocks to preserve customer service, as well as raw material cost inflation. We will continue balancing customer service with cash generation in line with our commitment to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating. Leader in Responsible Business We are proud to be the industry leader in ESG. Being a responsible business is at the core of our values and is a source of trust and differentiation for our customers, our investors and across all our stakeholders. To reinforce our Company's commitment to sustainability, in March 2022 we have formally embedded ESG at our highest level of governance, through the creation of a Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board of Directors. Our ESG performance continues to receive best-in-class evaluation. We received an enhanced rating from Sustainalytics, with a score of 7.5, improving on our already industry-leading score of last Fiscal Year. This not only places us among the ESG leaders in our industry and the broader Chemicals sector, but also in the global top 50 of approximately 15,000 companies. For the fourth year in a row, Firmenich was one of only two companies in the world to have received a triple "A" rating from CDP, in Climate, Water and Forests. This is a testament to our efforts to address environmental issues across our operations. In addition, we also achieved a second consecutive Platinum sustainability rating from EcoVadis, with an industry-leading score of 88% that also places us in the top 1% of all companies assessed worldwide. At Firmenich, we believe in business for good, and in a world with rising inequalities and social divides, we stand and act for a fairer and more equitable society. Firmenich is now one of only two companies in the world, and the first in our industry, to be globally Living Wage Certified by Fair Wage Network. Firmenich was ranked 10th out of 350 companies in the World Benchmarking Alliance Food & Agriculture Benchmark. The Food and Agriculture Benchmark measures and ranks keystone companies on key issues underpinning the food systems transformation agenda in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Consumer demand for natural, sustainable and renewable products is a structural growth trend in our industry. Our leadership in natural ingredients, our strong vertical integration and our innovation in this space, as well as leading ESG credentials, have remained important for retaining and attracting customers as they progress with their own sustainability roadmaps. As part of Firmenich's program to develop sustainable new ingredients, in the last year we launched Muguissimo™: a new biodegradable lily-of-the-valley ingredient, developed through Green Chemistry, that brings elegant and fresh natural floral notes to fragrances, highly appreciated by perfumers. Furthermore, we have accelerated our innovation in plant-based protein solutions by launching our latest portfolio of SmartProteins® innovations for the rapidly growing plant-based dairy space. To help consumers achieve better nutrition and well-being with less sugar, we have continued to develop our NutriGem Nutrition Innovation program, with ready-to-use integrated solutions using fibers, vitamins, minerals, and natural extracts.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans are to announce Friday whether the 2024 national convention, where the party's presidential nominee will be officially named, will be held in Milwaukee or Nashville. Milwaukee, in swing state Wisconsin, is the odds-on favorite to get the event given Nashville's refusal to adopt an agreement for hosting the convention. There has been broad bipartisan support for holding the event in Milwaukee, which was selected to host the 2020 Democratic convention that had to be moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Milwaukee used its preparations for that convention to argue to Republicans that it had a “turnkey” operation ready to host for real in 2024. Milwaukee was the pick of the RNC’s site selection committee in July. The Republican National Committee is to announce its decision on the final day of its summer meeting in Chicago. Nashville's bid hit a roadblock after Mayor John Cooper and others expressed concerns about security, the economic trade-off of having to mostly shut down the bustling downtown except for convention activity as well as the implications of tying up city resources for the event. The Nashville common council on Tuesday rejected a draft agreement for hosting the convention, seemingly ending that city's chances. It was a different story in Milwaukee, where leaders in the Democratic stronghold joined together with Republican power brokers, including former RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, to make the pitch for hosting the convention. Priebus, a former White House chief of staff under former President Donald Trump and Wisconsin state GOP chairman, leads the local committee for the convention. Trump narrowly won Wisconsin in 2016, but lost to President Joe Biden by a nearly identical margin in 2020. Wisconsin could determine who wins in 2024, while Tennessee has not backed a Democrat for president since 1996. But choosing Milwaukee is in line with recent Republican choices for the convention. For two decades, Republicans have placed their nominating convention in swing states — North Carolina, Ohio and Florida.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 5, 1981, the federal government began firing air traffic controllers who had gone out on strike. On this date: In 1864, during the Civil War, Union Adm. David G. Farragut led his fleet to victory in the Battle of Mobile Bay, Alabama. In 1884, the cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal was laid on Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbor. In 1914, what’s believed to be the first electric traffic light system was installed in Cleveland, Ohio, at the intersection of East 105th Street and Euclid Avenue. In 1936, Jesse Owens of the United States won the 200-meter dash at the Berlin Olympics, collecting the third of his four gold medals. In 1953, Operation Big Switch began as remaining prisoners taken during the Korean War were exchanged at Panmunjom. In 1957, the teenage dance show “American Bandstand,” hosted by Dick Clark, made its network debut on ABC-TV. In 1962, South African anti-apartheid activist Nelson Mandela was arrested on charges of leaving the country without a passport and inciting workers to strike; it was the beginning of 27 years of imprisonment. Movie star Marilyn Monroe, 36, was found dead in her Los Angeles home; her death was ruled a probable suicide from “acute barbiturate poisoning.” In 1964, U.S. Navy pilot Everett Alvarez Jr. became the first American flier to be shot down and captured by North Vietnam; he was held prisoner until February 1973. In 1974, the White House released transcripts of subpoenaed tape recordings showing that President Richard Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, had discussed a plan in June 1972 to use the CIA to thwart the FBI’s Watergate investigation; revelation of the tape sparked Nixon’s resignation. In 2010, the Senate confirmed Elena Kagan, 63-37, as the Supreme Court’s 112th justice and the fourth woman in its history. Thirty-three workers were trapped in a copper mine in northern Chile after a tunnel caved in (all were rescued after being entombed for 69 days). In 2011, the sun-powered robotic explorer Juno rocketed toward Jupiter on a five-year quest to discover the secret recipe for making planets. (Juno reached Jupiter on July 4, 2016.) In 2020, authorities said protesters in Portland, Oregon, barricaded about 20 police officers inside a precinct and tried to set it on fire; police used tear gas on the crowd for the first time since U.S. agents sent by President Donald Trump left the city the previous week. A city commission in Minneapolis blocked a November vote on a proposal to dismantle the city’s police department in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Ten years ago: A gunman opened fire, killing six people at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee before shooting himself dead during an exchange of fire with one of the first officers to respond. The robotic explorer Curiosity blazed through the pink skies of Mars, steering itself to a gentle landing inside a giant crater. Jamaica’s Usain Bolt pulled away from the pack and crossed the finish line to claim consecutive gold medals in the marquee track and field event at the Summer Games in London. Britain’s Andy Murray cruised past Roger Federer 6-2, 6-1, 6-4 in the men’s tennis singles final. Serena and Venus Williams won the women’s doubles title. Five years ago: The U.N. Security Council unanimously approved tough new sanctions against North Korea for its escalating nuclear and missile programs. Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt finished third in the 100-meter dash at the world track championships in London, which marked his farewell from the sport; the winner was American Justin Gatlin. One year ago: Richard Trumka, who rose from the coal mines of Pennsylvania to preside over one of the world’s largest labor organizations, the AFL-CIO, died at 72. A Texas appeals court upheld the murder conviction of Amber Guyger, a former Dallas police officer who was sentenced to prison for fatally shooting her neighbor in his home.

Suffolk projects receive grants to highlight nature on doorstep - Published Four projects have received a share of £2,200 to help them introduce more people to nature on their doorsteps. The funding comes from the Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty organisation which supports projects across Suffolk. Hollesley School, the East Anglian Sailing Trust, Shotley Heritage Society and Transition Woodbridge have all been given grants. The community and conservation fund helps small projects annually. Hollesley School has been given £700 to create a new wildlife area for pupils, which will include a forest school. The East Anglian Sailing Trust received £650 for its Discovering the River Orwell trips, which aim to give disadvantaged younger children the opportunity to learn about all aspects of the river. Meanwhile, visitors to Shotley will be able to learn more about the diverse wildlife on the River Stour thanks to a new birdwatching noticeboard. The Shotley Heritage Charitable Community Benefit Society was awarded £700 to install the noticeboard at Shotley Pier, which will feature images of birds to help people learn what species they are seeing. There will also be a chalkboard to record daily sightings. A grant of £216 will enable Transition Woodbridge to create litter pick stations which can be used by anyone who would like to pick up litter in the Woodbridge and Melton area. The litter picking equipment can be used by anyone passing by and it is hoped the scheme will raise awareness of the importance of keeping rivers and landscapes litter-free to help nature and wildlife.

Grace O'Malley tall ship for youth arrives in Belfast By Robbie Meredith BBC News NI Education Correspondent - Published An "all-island" tall ship which aims to bring young people together at sea is on its first visit to Northern Ireland. The cross-border Atlantic Youth Trust plans to take about 1,000 young people a year on voyages on board the Grace O'Malley. Irish President Michael D Higgins has given his backing to the project. The Grace O'Malley replaces two other ships used to train young people which sank within two years of each other more than a decade ago. The Asgard II sank off the French coast in 2008, while the yacht Lord Rank sank near Ballycastle in Northern Ireland in 2010. All of those on board both ships were rescued safely. But since the two ships sank, there has been no dedicated sail training ship in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland. Pirate queen The Grace O'Malley has now been bought from Sweden by money raised by the Atlantic Youth Trust to fill that gap. It is a three-masted 164ft (50m) schooner which has previously sailed a number of times across the Atlantic. It was originally called Lady Ellen but is being renamed Grace O'Malley by the Atlantic Youth Trust in honour of the famous 16th Century pirate queen of Ireland. O'Malley - also known as Granuaile or Gráinne Mhaol in Irish - sailed to a famous meeting with Queen Elizabeth I at Greenwich Castle in 1593, which led to the release of her sons from captivity. In a message recorded for the Atlantic Youth Trust, President Higgins said Grace O'Malley was "a woman unafraid to question the world she inhabited, to overcome barriers, to blaze new trails". "Her fearless arrival up the Thames is one of the great events of colonial confrontation with a monarch that generated respect between two of the strongest women in the history of the period," he said. "How appropriate then that the tall ship planned to bring young people from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland together for youth development voyages will be named after this inspirational woman, heroic warrior and legendary seafarer." The Atlantic Youth Trust is an all-island charity which takes young people from a range of communities and backgrounds in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to sea. According to the president of the trust, Peter Cooke, the plan in 2023 is to begin taking groups of about 40 young people on 10-day voyages aboard the Grace O'Malley. "All of the kids who do not know each other before they start build a new community," he told BBC News NI. "We show them all the different jobs that take place on a boat - from the captain to the navigator to the cook to the person who climbs the rigging. "It's really designed about youth development and personal confidence. "I think the maritime side is almost an irrelevance, what you need is to create an environment which is entirely alien. "Out of that you get them as raw material where you can allow their personalities to come through, their confidence to come through and their interpersonal skills across communities - north, south, east, west - to come through and build a community." There is already a bursary to pay for a young person from a disadvantaged background to take part in a voyage and the trust is creating more. The Grace O'Malley, which sailed to Northern Ireland from Sweden for the Foyle Maritime Festival, is now in Belfast and will then sail on to Warrenpoint and Dublin. Northern Ireland Executive funding for the ship was mentioned in Stormont's Fresh Start agreement and a business case is also being looked at by the Department of Defence in the Republic of Ireland. "As part of the mid-term Review of the Capital Plan, the Irish government will work also with the Northern Ireland Executive to seek agreement on a funding plan for the Atlantic Youth Trust initiative," the 2015 Fresh Start Agreement said. "This proposal involves a new sail training vessel to facilitate youth development, mentoring, and training on an all-island basis." Now that the Grace O'Malley has been bought, Peter Cooke said the trust was hopeful the two governments would now "crystallize" that funding. And in a modern day twist, O'Malleys from Mayo are now crewing the Grace O'Malley. Operations manager and engineer Brian O'Malley and his brother Owen helped sail the ship from Sweden to Northern Ireland. "There's actually a very strong connection," Brian O'Malley told BBC News NI. "We're both from Clare Island, and there's a castle at the harbour in Clare Island - Grace O'Malley's castle. "In the abbey there's also a tomb where supposedly she's buried. "We all have a claim to Grace O'Malley on Clare Island definitely!"

DES MOINES, Iowa – Democrats are poised to strip Iowa from leading off their presidential nominating process starting in 2024, part of a broader effort allowing less overwhelmingly white states to go early and better reflect the party's deeply diverse electorate. The Democratic National Committee's rule-making arm had planned to recommend on Friday which states should be the first four to vote, while considering adding a fifth prior to Super Tuesday, when a large number of states hold primary elections. But it delayed the decision until after November's election, lest it become a distraction affecting Democrats in key congressional races. Still, the position of Iowa's caucus remains precarious after technical glitches sparked a 2020 meltdown. More than a decade of complaints that caucus rules requiring in-person attendance serve to limit participation are reaching crescendo. That's ignited a furious push for the No. 1 position between New Hampshire, which now goes second but traditionally kicks off primary voting, and Nevada, a heavily Hispanic state looking to jump from third to first. “I fully expect that Iowa will be replaced," said Julián Castro, a former San Antonio mayor and federal housing chief. “And that the primary calendar will be reordered to better reflect the diversity of the Democratic Party and of the country.” Castro isn't on the rules committee but has criticized Iowa being first since his 2019 presidential run. A Democratic National Committee spokesperson said the rules committee “is conducting a thorough process” and will continue to “let it play out.” Iowa has survived previous challenges and may do so again, especially given that the final decision won't come for months. It argues that, aside from 2020, voters here have a strong track record launching the nomination process — and that its caucuses keep Democrats relevant amid the state's recent shift to the right. Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Ross Wilburn said he'd fight to ensure that nearly 50 years of tradition hold. "When I became chair and we started this process, the word was ‘Iowa’s done,’" Wilburn told reporters Thursday. "But no decision has been made. No calendar has been presented to the committee. We are still in this fight.” But many rules committee members privately said that the party is leaning toward either New Hampshire or Nevada going first, or perhaps on the same day. They all requested anonymity to more freely detail discussions that remain ongoing. South Carolina, with its large bloc of Black Democrats, may move from fourth to third, freeing up a large Midwestern state to go next. Michigan and Minnesota are making strong cases, but both can’t move their primary dates without legislative approval, requiring support from Republicans. If the committee adds a fifth early slot, that could go to Iowa to soften the blow. Iowa has kicked off voting since 1976, when Jimmy Carter scored a caucus upset and grabbed enough momentum to eventually win the presidency. Since then, it's been followed by New Hampshire, which has held the nation’s first primary since 1920. Nevada and South Carolina have gone next since the 2008 presidential election, when Democrats last did a major primary calendar overhaul. Nevada has now scrapped its caucus in favor of a primary. During a recent presentation before rules committee members, its delegation showed a video arguing that “tradition is not a good enough reason to preserve the status quo.” “If a diverse and inclusive state isn’t at the front of the primary calendar, I’m really concerned that what we’re gonna keep seeing is the same criticisms that we’ve been seeing about the Democratic Party primary process,” said Nevada Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen. Representatives from Iowa and New Hampshire argue that small states let all candidates — not just well-funded ones — connect personally with voters, and that losing their slots could advantage Republicans in congressional races. The GOP has already decided to keep Iowa starting its 2024 presidential nominating cycle. “Just like when two more states were added to the early window, Nevada and South Carolina," there is a sense that, just like America isn’t stagnant, "that the Democratic Party changes and grows with the times as well,” said rules committee member Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. New Hampshire Democratic National Committeeman Bill Shaheen said he didn’t know what would’ve happened if the rules committee vote wasn't postponed, but cheered it as “one more chance to show what kind of state we are.” When the DNC approved shaking up the primary calendar ahead of 2008, it called for Nevada's caucus after Iowa and before New Hampshire, only to see New Hampshire move up its primary. Shaheen said his state might do similar this time, regardless of the party's decision. “We’re going to do the first primary whether the DNC recognizes it or not," said Shaheen whose wife, Jeanne, is a senator. “There’s a great likelihood of that.” Those pushing for more diverse states to leadoff say Democrats can impose sanctions to prevent such jockeying this time. Non-white voters made up 26% of all voters and supported Joe Biden over Donald Trump by a nearly 3-to-1 margin in the 2020 presidential election, according to AP VoteCast, a nationwide survey of the electorate. Nonwhite voters accounted for 38% of Democratic voters then. By contrast, 91% of 2020 Iowa Democratic caucus goers were white and 94% of New Hampshire primary voters were, according to VoteCast surveys. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., who is helping lead her state’s push to go early, said Michigan reflects diversity "and that’s what we are missing in these early primaries.” “We are not testing candidates in what their general election’s gonna look like,” said Dingell, who added that Michigan's “got more county fairs than anyone could want." That recalls Iowa's state fair, where generations of presidential candidates have worked the porkchop grill and wolfed down deep-fried versions of all imaginable foodstuffs. “We're very good at junk food,” Dingell said, laughing. If the rules committee approves a reshuffled framework, it would still have to be sanctioned by the full Democratic National Committee, though it usually endorses such decisions. This may be moot if Biden opts to seek a second term. In that case, the party likely will have little appetite to build out a robust primary schedule potentially allowing another Democrat to challenge him for the nomination. Some rules committee members suggested that the White House has taken a keener interest in the primary calendar process recently, but others expressed frustration that the Biden administration hasn't given them clearer guidance on where its preferences lie. In addition to diversity, Democrats are considering electoral competitiveness and states' efforts to relax voting restrictions. They're scrutinizing states’ racial makeup, union membership and size in terms of population and geography — which can affect possibilities for direct voter engagement and travel and advertising costs. After results malfunctions that kept The Associated Press from declaring a winner, Iowa Democrats have proposed changing the caucus' presidential preference portion to require that all participants mail in their selections. But there also had been calls for a decade-plus from top Democrats to move the starting line elsewhere, thus highlighting the party’s growth and potential among younger voters and those of color. Advocacy groups have cheered Nevada’s bid for first, with Latino Victory, the board of the Asian American Action Fund, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ Bold PAC, Somos Votantes and ASPIRE PAC, which represents Asian American and Pacific Islander members of Congress, endorsing it. Castro said that his position was once an outlier that irked party bosses but increasingly become accepted among top Democrats. “This time feels different," he said. “After the experience of Iowa in 2020 — and after the push for equity and racial justice the last two years, the recognition that the Democratic Party is the only big tent party, the only inclusive party — it’s fitting that our primary calendar would reflect that.” __ Weissert reported from Washington. Associated Press writers Holly Ramer in Concord, New Hampshire, and Hannah Fingerhut in Washington contributed.

Shock twist after Saudi sisters were found decomposing in an apartment as new theory emerges they were living in fear over their sexuality - Asra Abdullah Alsehli and Amaal could have feared persecution over sexuality - Saudi sisters found dead in Canterbury unit, in south-west Sydney, on June 7 - Woman claimed sisters went to girls-only queer event months earlier in January - Do you know more? Email charlotte.karp@mailonline.com A new theory has emerged two Saudi sisters found dead could have feared persecution for their sexuality after it was revealed they attended a queer event. Asra Abdullah Alsehli, 24, and Amaal, 23, were discovered in their Canterbury unit in Sydney's southwest on June 7. Detectives have yet to determine the cause of their death months later and are chasing several leads. A woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said she met the sisters at a girls-only queer event in January, The Guardian reported. She claimed police believe one of the sisters identified as queer and are unsure of the sexual orientation of the other one. The woman described the sisters as 'shy' and said they were reluctant to talk more about their personal lives in Saudi Arabia. Two Saudi sisters found dead in their beds could have feared persecution for their sexuality after it was revealed they attended a queer event (pictured, Amaal Abdullah Alsehli) Asra Abdullah Alsehli, 24 (pictured), and Amaal, 23, were discovered in their Canterbury unit in Sydney's south-west on June 7 'They mentioned that they were from Saudi Arabia, and we talked about what it is like to be queer there,' she said. 'They said women live in fear of their safety and that they were grateful to be living in Australia, where they could more freely express themselves.' 'What's terribly sad is they told me they were excited to be out at an event like this and that they were ready to start exploring more of Sydney.' The woman said she contacted police after recognising photos of the sisters that were released by police following the discovery of their bodies. NSW Police refused to comment when approached by Daily Mail Australia. 'As the investigation is ongoing, police continue to appeal for information in relation to the death of the two women,' a spokesperson said. 'No further information is available at this stage.' It's believed the women had been dead for up to six weeks before police made the grim discovery of their decomposing bodies. Bottles of chemicals such as bleach and other substances were found beside their bodies in separate bedrooms, leading detectives to suspect the pair planned to take their own lives. Interim toxicology results showed traces of the substances found in the bedrooms inside the women's bodies. 'There's no indication of anyone else being in the unit...no forced entry. It really does appear to be a tragic suicide,' a police source told The Daily Telegraph. More extensive testing is needed to determine the exact cause of death. A NSW Police spokeswoman was unable to comment or confirm the new revelations. 'It will be up to the Coroner to determine the cause of death,' she told Daily Mail Australia. Bottles of chemicals such as bleach and other substances were found beside their bodies found in separate bedrooms, leading detectives to suspect the pair planned to take their own lives Two months on from their deaths, police still have very few details about the two sisters who fled Saudi Arabia and arrived in Australia with $5,000 savings five years ago. This is despite an extensive week-long public appeal and releasing the names and photos of the sisters at the request of the coroner. It's also been revealed a black BMW coupe was seized after the women's bodies were found remains in a police holding yard. The car is expected to be sold to recover debts owed to the women's landlord after they stopped paying rent ten weeks before their fully clothed but decomposing bodies were found. A letter sent on behalf of the landlord, exclusively obtained by Daily Mail Australia on Wednesday shows that the sisters racked up a $5,142.86 debt by May 13 - almost a month before their bodies were found, on June 7. The sisters also owed $26.18 in outstanding water bills. Their remains were uncovered in separate rooms of their $480-per-week Canterbury apartment by police during the last of three welfare checks. The first check was conducted in mid-March - around the same time they stopped paying rent - after the property's building manager raised concerns for their wellbeing because the food was left out in common areas. A black BMW coupe seized from the Canterbury unit is expected to be sold to repay the women's landlord after they stopped paying rent 10 weeks before their bodies were found Attending officers said the woman appeared fine, and left the unit. The second check was done between March and June, before their bodies were found during the final visit. By the time the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal scheduled a hearing to address the rental debt on May 13, they were likely dead. Daily Mail Australia is not suggesting the landlord was in any way responsible for the sisters' deaths. According to the letter addressed to Amaal from the Tribunal on May 13, the women did not attend the hearing and were subsequently ordered to pay any amount of the total sum 'immediately'. Their lease was effectively torn up and they were given until May 20 to vacate the property, though it is unclear why the motion wasn't enforced. For every day they remained at the property after May 14, they were charged an additional $68.57. It wasn't until June 7 when police arrived to evict them that anyone realised they were dead. There was no sign of forced entry, no clear signs of injury, and the cause of death remains undetermined - although is being treated as suspicious. The women, who lived on the corner flat above a burger shop, complained about a man 'acting weird' outside their building in the months before their deaths Forensic police scoured the unit (pictured) in the wake of the grisly discovery on June 7 - a month after the women died An employee from the company that manages the building said the women approached them with safety concerns earlier this year. 'They made a report that they saw a man 'acting weird' outside the building - standing between two cars and acting strange,' the worker said. They explained the women checked their security footage, but it was difficult to determine whether the man had malicious intentions. 'We checked the CCTV and saw there was a man there,' the employee said. 'But that spot is busy. There is a burger shop there and Uber Eats drivers coming and going all the time. He could have been anyone. 'We couldn't determine why he was there, but he didn't look like he was doing anything untoward, so there was no need to chase it up further.' According to the worker, the women did not say whether they knew the man. Later in 2021, the sisters told building management they feared someone was tampering with their food deliveries. However, surveillance cameras again found no evidence to back up their fears. The building's surveillance was seized by police shortly after the women were discovered and is yet to be returned. The latest development in the case comes as police backflipped on initial claims the sisters' family had been cooperating with investigators. NSW Police continually assured media the sisters' family in the Saudi Kingdom were 'cooperating' and 'helping' with the investigation. But police sources on Sunday alleged that the family blocked detectives from releasing photographs of the women as part of a public appeal to shed light on the baffling case. Police confirmed to Daily Mail Australia their photos and identities were finally released in consultation with the coroner - not the family - almost two months after their bodies were found. The coroner has not released the bodies of the sisters to their family, although it is understood they could be buried in Sydney. It's also been revealed the sisters were both seeking protection from the Australian government as more details about their attempts to build a normal life here emerged. They had an active claim for asylum in progress with the Department of Home Affairs, it has been confirmed. A black BMW coupe covered in dust was removed from the garage of the apartment block the day after the women's bodies were found Both were in touch with settlement providers and were on bridging visas. Reports published in Middle Eastern newspapers on Friday said the sisters had renounced Islam. The sisters only left the Canterbury unit to study at TAFE, to go shopping or to work, their former landlord from a property they rented at Fairfield revealed to The Guardian. The 'shocked' landlord claimed their mother visited the sisters in Sydney but didn't like Australia and left after only a brief visit. Detective Inspector Claudia Allcroft insisted there was 'nothing to suggest' their family was involved in their deaths. The women were not known to be part of any dissident Saudi networks. Investigators spent days the apartment building with forensic teams poring over the scene The landlord said the sisters, who fled Saudi Arabia in 2017, both attended TAFE in Wetherill Park. They also both worked doing traffic control for a Sydney building company. 'I was shocked when I saw their photos, I have no idea how this could have happened. 'They were very cute and friendly girls, we never had any problems with them,' their landlord told The Guardian. At last week's press conference, Detective Allcroft confirmed police know very little about the women and renewed an appeal for public information - anyone who saw the sisters in their final days has been urged to come forward. 'We hope that someone may be able to assist our investigators,' Detective Allcroft said. 'Either through sightings, or those who knew the sisters and may have some information on their movements prior to their death.'

Cole Sprouse's girlfriend, Ari Lou Fournier, is showering him with love on his 30th birthday. The model took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos with the Riverdale star -- the couple is seen kissing, hugging, snorkeling on vacation, and posing for a cute photo-op in the reflection of a window. In the caption, Fournier paid tribute to Sprouse, writing, "Hard to describe with a couple photos how much fun we have together & how much I love celebrating life everyday with you. I’m truly the luckiest girl in the world. Happy birthday my love, here’s to 30." Though the couple has maintained a relatively low profile throughout their relationship, Sprouse and Fournier were first linked in March 2021 when they were spotted holding hands in Vancouver, Canada. Later that year, in July, the Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum made their romance Instagram official. As many will remember, Sprouse was in a highly publicized, on-and-off relationship with his Riverdale co-star, Lili Reinhart. The couple called it quits in August 2020. Fournier is the second woman Sprouse has been romantically linked to since his split from Reinhart. He was previously spotted with Reina Silva in October 2020. RELATED CONTENT:

AUSTIN, Texas — With multiple fires burning in Central Texas this week, we wanted to learn the most common causes in order to help prevent them from starting. This year, we have seen more wildfires than in recent years, but the fires have luckily burned less acreage because they were caught earlier. "Texas A&M Forest Service has responded to over 7,600 wildfires for almost 627,000 acres," said Kari Hines, project coordinator with Texas A&M Forest Service. Hines said that 90% of the wildfires in Texas are human-caused. "That does not mean that they're all malicious, but the majority of them are preventable," said Hines. She said of the human-caused fires, more than 50% are caused by debris burning and equipment. "Think lawn mowers, welding, driving a vehicle, pulling a trailer," said Hines of some of the possible uses of equipment that cause fires. When it comes to the debris burning, most Texas counties are under burn bans, so that shouldn’t be happening anyhow. "Depending on the county that you're in, they might also have further classifications of what isn't allowed," said Hines. "Sometimes they become much more strict with things like no outdoor welding and other classifications like that." Statistics from the Texas A&M Forest Service show 80% of wildfires happen within two miles of a community. Hine said the idea that most wildfires are rural is false. "Because we know that humans start the majority of our wildfires, that means most of them are closer to areas of human population," said Hines. In order to protect both people and land, she said we all need to be taking precautions. "Anything that produces heat or that can cause a spark can cause a wildfire," said Hines.

Director Nel Crouch said: “When it comes to enjoying the great British summer, you can’t beat basking in the evening sun, sipping an ice-cold drink, tucking into a delicious picnic and watching this classic Wilde comedy with a slapstick twist. Of course, it could rain, which would shatter that lovely image… but that’s all part of the fun isn’t it!” Richard Whiteley Theatre Manager Mike Offland said: “I’m delighted that following a fantastic number of summers with the HandleBards we can welcome their sister company Slapstick Picnic to our stunning outdoor setting. Theatre is a different personal experience every night; and Slapstick Picnic make sure you will not forget your evening with them.

Days of Our Lives moving from NBC exclusively to Peacock after nearly 60 years on the air came as a shock to a lot of people, including the show's crew members. A source tells ET that some members of the Days of Our Lives production team learned the soap opera was moving to Peacock through media reports and were not told beforehand. "We suspected this would happen at some point, but just not now," the source says. "This was shocking." Indeed, the long-running daytime soap had been NBC's longest-running series after 57 years on the air. It had eclipsed more than 14,000 episodes, and just two years ago celebrated its 55th anniversary at NBC. But it's now moving to the network's streaming service, with new episodes dropping Sept. 12. NBC News Daily will replace the soap's time slot. The bold move means NBC is getting out of the soap business, at least on the network side, and it leaves behind only three soaps on network television: The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS), The Young and the Restless (CBS) and General Hospital (ABC). During its historic run, Days of Our Lives won four Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Daytime Drama, with its last win in 2018. The series has been nominated 26 times in that category and, overall, it has a whopping 372 Emmy nominations. In a statement, the network billed the move as a win-win for the show's ardent fans of the show and those who want to consume more daytime news. "For the first time ever, all new episodes of the 58-time Emmy Award-winning drama will debut on Peacock daily with the show's robust library already available to stream for Peacock Premium subscribers," a statement read. "The historic move to Peacock creates the ultimate destination for daytime fans to access the library, new episodes and Peacock Original Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem in one place."

Five of the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries witnessed heavy rainfall last month, something the arid region has not seen in July for at least three decades, and which experts attribute to climate change. During the past two weeks, heavy rains fell, starting in Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain, and finally Saudi Arabia, but they did not reach Kuwait. The unusual weather led to flooding in several areas. The worst was in Fujairah, one of the seven emirates that make up the UAE, where water reached very high levels and several places were flooded. The army engaged in rescue operations. console.log("BODY2. CatId is:"+catID);if(catID==120){console.log("BODY.

The infrastructure in these countries is not designed to handle large amounts of rain. Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president of the UAE and the ruler of Dubai, ordered the formation of rescue teams and inventory of damages for the citizens of Fujairah, while similar teams were formed to inventory the damage caused by rain and flooding in other Gulf countries. The inclement weather caused a significant drop in temperatures for several days in the Gulf countries, where temperatures reached 30° Celsius (86° Fahrenheit) for the first time in history during the month of July, when temperatures often reach 50° Celsius (122° Fahrenheit). “The amount of rain that fell on Fujairah, UAE, amounted to 220 mm [8.7 inches], which is an unprecedented rate. Even in winter, such an amount did not fall there in the past." Omar Abdulaziz, a professor of applied physics, Prof. Waheeb Alnasser, chairman of the Bahrain Astronomical Society, told The Media Line, “The level of rain in Bahrain is about 20 mm [0.8 inches]. “We are witnessing sharp fluctuations in the atmosphere, especially with climate change in the world,” he added. “It is not possible to predict what will happen next, but in any case, the rain is welcome.” The Saudi National Center for Meteorology released a statement on Monday saying that “the rains in the Eastern Province and Riyadh are unusual in summer but a recurrence is possible. “The rainy weather that affected the central and eastern regions of the kingdom is one of the ‘unusual’ rainy conditions [occasionally experienced] in this period of the summer. Climatic records from the manned monitoring stations of the National Center for Meteorology have recorded varying amounts of rain during the months of July and August in the cities of the central and eastern regions since 1993,” the Center for Meteorology continued. “The highest in the city of Al-Ahsa [aka Al-Hofuf] reached 19 mm [0.75 inches] in 1993, while the amount of rain in the capital on Sunday, July 31, 2022, amounted to 26.6 mm [1.05 inches]. “We do not rule out the recurrence of the rainy weather during the coming period, in light of climatic changes and severe weather phenomena that are affecting the world and the region,” the center stressed. The impact of climate change Omar Abdulaziz, a professor of applied physics, told The Media Line, “Global warming is a major reason for such a phenomenon. We have not seen rain in the Gulf countries previously in the summer except in some mountainous areas. “The amount of rain that fell on Fujairah, UAE, amounted to 220 mm [8.7 inches], which is an unprecedented rate. Even in winter, such an amount did not fall there in the past,” Abdulaziz added. “The climate, due to global warming conditions and significant changes in the environment, has become unexpected. In Bahrain, the winter was not very rainy, but we witnessed rain in the summer,” he said. “Maybe we will see summer rain again, whether this year or next year and even in the coming years, and I expect that the coming winter will be rainy,” Abdulaziz said.

I talked to my family, I talked to my psychologist, and it was a decision that was made in a very considered way because at the end of the day, I didn't want to be back at the bottom of a dark place,' she continued. The mother of three, who spent five weeks at a mental health facility in 2020, worked out a coping strategy in case things became too mentally taxing. 'They've worked around the filming schedule to allow me to still have my psychology appointments and to get out early in the morning to do my exercise. They touch base with me constantly to make sure I'm okay,' she said. If you or anyone you know is struggling with their mental health, please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

S. Korea's new COVID-19 cases above 100,000 for 4th day SEOUL. KAZINFORM South Korea's new COVID-19 cases exceeded 100,000 for the fourth straight day Friday amid a wave of infections driven by a highly infectious omicron variant, Yonhap reprots. The country added 112,901 new COVID-19 infections, including 497 from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 20,273,011, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) said. Friday's figure is slightly up from 107,894 Thursday. On Wednesday, the daily caseload stood at 119,922, which was the highest since the 125,821 cases reported April 15. The number of deaths caused by COVID-19 was 47, up 13 from a day earlier, raising the death toll to 25,191. The fatality rate was 0.12 percent, the KDCA said. The number of seriously ill patients rose 10 to 320 on Friday. South Korea, with a population of 51.6 million, reached the grim milestone of 20 million coronavirus infections Wednesday, 2 1/2 years after its first COVID-19 case was reported Jan. 20, 2020. To stem the spread of the omicron variant BA.5, health authorities have asked older adults to get their second boosters. But only about 45 percent of people aged over 60 and subject to a fourth vaccine shot have received it. Of the 112,404 locally transmitted cases, 49.8 percent of them came from Seoul and its neighboring metropolitan areas and 50.2 percent came from the non-capital areas, the KDCA said. The country also confirmed two more COVID-19 cases of BA.2.75, a new fast-spreading omicron subvariant, bringing the total such cases to 16. The two new cases were from Mexico, it said. Of the total 16 cases of BA.2.75, 13 cases were imported from overseas while three were locally infected cases.

French rescuers scramble to help beluga whale found almost halfway to Paris on the Seine River A beluga whale spotted in the River Seine has French emergency services and environmental experts pondering rescue options for the animal, which was found dozens of kilometres from the ocean. Key points: - The whale was found in the River Seine on Wednesday - Emergency services are attempting to monitor the health of the beluga - Taking the whale out of the water and relocating it is considered too risky Eure department official Isabelle Dorliat-Pouzet said the beluga, normally found in cold Arctic waters, was spotted on Wednesday (local time) and rescue services monitored the animal with drones. However the whale barely moved on Thursday, drifting between two locks on the river. Drone footage showed the beluga swimming slowly, its white silhouette just below the waterline, and coming up to breathe. Lamya Essemlali, the head of environmental group Sea Shepherd France, said it was unclear why the whale had strayed so far from its natural habitat, venturing dozens of kilometres up a busy waterway and nearly halfway to Paris, past the port of Rouen. "The challenge now will be to help feed it, and try to accompany it towards the ocean," she said. She said taking the beluga out of the water would pose too great a risk to its safety. The all-white belugas normally live in Arctic and sub-Arctic oceans, although they do sometimes stray into more southern waters and river estuaries. They can temporarily survive in freshwater. The local fire department, which is in charge of monitoring the whale, said its first priority was to evaluate the animal's health before considering whether to intervene or not. In late May, a gravely ill orca that became separated from its pod and swam dozens of miles up the Seine died of natural causes after attempts to guide it back to sea failed. A month later, another whale, believed to be a 10-metre-long Minke whale, was spotted in the Seine. In September 2018, a beluga whale was spotted in the River Thames near Gravesend for a few days, in what was then the most southerly sighting of a beluga on British shores. Reuters

US, Russia, China take part in talks with SE Asian nations PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken joined the foreign ministers of Russia and China at a meeting Friday with top diplomats from Southeast Asia at a time when the global powers are riven by tensions. The East Asia Summit of the ongoing Association of Southeast Asian Nations meetings in Cambodia’s capital was the first time the three men were scheduled to take part in the same forum. It came a day after WNBA star Brittney Griner was convicted of drug possession and sentenced to nine years in prison by Russia in a politically charged case amid antagonisms over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. China, meantime, has shown outrage over U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit this week to Taiwan — a self-governing island Beijing claims as its own — and launched show-of-force military exercises in response. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi patted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the shoulder as he entered the room and gave the already-seated Lavrov a quick wave before taking his own seat. Lavrov waved back in response. Blinken, who entered the room last, did not even glance at Lavrov as he took his own seat about a half-dozen chairs away, or at Wang who was seated farther down the same table as Lavrov. Ahead of the Phnom Penh talks, the U.S. State Department indicated Blinken had no plans to meet one-on-one with either man during the course of the meetings. On Thursday, China canceled a foreign ministers’ meeting with Japan to protest a statement from the Group of 7 nations that said there was no justification for Beijing’s military exercises, which virtually encircle Taiwan. “Japan, together with other member of the G-7 and the EU, made an irresponsible statement accusing China and confounding right and wrong,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in Beijing. When Japan’s Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa began to speak Friday at the East Asia Summit, both Lavrov and Wang walked out of the room, according to a diplomat in the room who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the private session. The East Asia Summit’s chair, Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn, opened the 2 1/2 hour talks saying he hoped that all delegates would use the forum as a “means of engagement and communication” with one another. “Every year we have our set of challenges to address but I have to say that never before, not like this year, have we been confronted with so many perils at the same time,” he said before ushering the media out to begin the closed-door talks. ____ Jim Gomez in Manila, Philippines, contributed to this report.

DEAR ABBY: I have worked for the same company for 20 years. For the last eight years, I was part of an office book club, mostly because I was pressured regularly by the boss to participate. The members were mostly a clique of “mean girls.” I never felt a part of it or comfortable, but I pushed through the once-a-month meetings to keep the peace. When COVID sent everyone home to work the past two years, the book club was over, or so I thought, hoped and prayed. As things are loosening up now, though, the pressure is mounting again. I do not want to return to that routine, but the powers that be don’t seem to accept any excuse or reason. After 24 months of freedom, forcing me back into it is causing great anxiety. What would you advise me to say or do to be left out of this without antagonizing the boss? — WANNA-BE DROPOUT DEAR WANNA-BE DROPOUT: If you really feel your job is in jeopardy if you refuse to participate in the book club, start looking for other employment. Tell your boss you are no longer interested in participating because reading those books interferes with your personal time and, since the COVID disruption, you have developed other interests. Then suggest another person be chosen if a quorum is required. DEAR ABBY: The letter signed “Redo in the East” (June 7), from the lady who wanted to rewrite her husband’s rushed obit, caught my attention. For 18 years I was part of an American Legion Honor Guard, during which time we did more than 900 funerals. I also read the deceased veterans’ obituaries. Because of this experience, I constantly advise people to write their OWN obit. After all, who knows the most about them? This accomplishes two things: First, it greatly reduces the stress on those trying to write one under difficult conditions. Second, it ensures the accuracy of the information in it. I wrote mine 20 years ago. Of course, it needs updating, but upon my demise there will be only a few blanks to fill in and it’s ready to go. — VETERAN IN VIRGINIA DEAR VETERAN: Thank you for the service you have so generously provided all these years, and for the sage advice you have shared with my readers today. DEAR ABBY: I recently stayed in a historical inn, which had very thin walls. An occupant in the adjoining room sneezed. I heard it and wondered: “Should I say ‘bless you’?” The sneeze came in the midst of conversation I had respectfully tried to avoid overhearing, but which was clearly audible. My thought was to ignore the sneeze so as not to intrude on their privacy. An office mate believes I should have responded to the sneeze. Your thoughts would be appreciated. — BEING POLITE IN THE MIDWEST DEAR BEING POLITE: I agree with your office mate. If you had responded to the sneeze, it would have alerted your neighbors that their conversation wasn’t necessarily private, which would have done them a favor.

Piers Morgan slams Amnesty International for claiming Ukrainian forces are putting civilian lives 'at risk' by setting up bases The Sky News Australia host said an Amnesty International tweet - which accused Ukrainian forces of putting "civilians in harm's way" by building bases in populated residential areas - was "disgraceful". Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan has hit out at Amnesty International for claiming Ukrainian forces are putting civilians at risk as they fight back against the Russian invasion. Amnesty International accused the Ukrainian military of establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, such as near schools and hospitals. The human rights organisation said such tactics "violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians, as they turn civilian objects into military targets". The British broadcaster responded to the human rights organisation's tweet by saying it's the "bloody Russians" who are putting civilians into harm's way. "Sorry???!!! It's the bloody Russians putting Ukrainians into harm's way with their genocidal rampage," he tweeted. "This is a disgraceful tweet. Shame on you, Amnesty." Amnesty International said the Ukrainian military was setting up their base near densely populated areas, exposing civilians to "retaliatory fire from Russian forces". Sorry???!!! Itâs the bloody Russians putting Ukrainians into harmâs way with their genocidal rampage. This is a disgraceful tweet. Shame on you, Amnesty. https://t.co/AEimGTlT7s — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 5, 2022 "We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas," Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard said. "Being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law." A mother of a 50-year-old man killed in a rocket attack on June 10 in a village south of Mykolaiv told Amnesty International her son died because the Ukrainian military had set up a base in a neighbouring house. "The military were staying in a house next to our home and my son often took food to the soldiers. I begged him several times to stay away from there because I was afraid for his safety," she said. "That afternoon, when the strike happened, my son was in the courtyard of our home and I was in the house. He was killed on the spot. His body was ripped to shreds. Our home was partially destroyed." A resident in the city of Lysychansk told Amnesty International they "don't understand why our military is firing from the cities and not from the field". A third person said: "We have no say in what the military does, but we pay the price". Ukrainian General Oleksiy Hromov has warned Russia may launch an offensive in the southern Ukraine region of Kherson. Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Mr Hromov said Ukraine will launch a major counter-offensive by targeting Russia's supply lines. "It's possible the enemy may try to carry out offensive operations deep into our territory in order to seize the initiative and threaten the development of our success in order to force the (Ukrainian army) to stop expanding bridgeheads and go on the defensive," he said.

RUSSIA. (CW44 News At 10 | CNN) –Brittney Griner, WNBA star, was convicted of deliberately smuggling drugs into Russia and sentenced to nine years of jail time Thursday in a case that has raised concerns she is being used as a political pawn in Russia’s war against Ukraine. Judge Anna Sotnikova of the Khimki city court delivered the sentence and fined Griner 1 million rubles, or about $16,400. She said the court took into account Griner’s partial admission of guilt, remorse for the deed, state of health and charitable activities. Prosecutors had asked that she be sentenced to 9.5 years in jail. READ MORE: Baby Products Recalled Were Still Sold At TJ Maxx And MarshallsPrior to the verdict, Griner apologized to the court and asked for leniency in an emotional speech. “I never meant to hurt anybody, I never meant to put in jeopardy the Russian population, I never meant to break any laws here,” Griner said. “I made an honest mistake and I hope that in your ruling that it doesn’t end my life here. I know everybody keeps talking about political pawn and politics, but I hope that, that is far from this courtroom. “I want to say again that I had no intent on breaking any Russian laws. I had no intent. I did not conspire or plan to commit this crime,” she added. After the sentence, Griner told a CNN producer as she left court, “I love my family.” The verdict comes about six months after the 31-year-old was arrested at a Moscow airport and accused by Russian prosecutors of trying to smuggle less than 1 gram of cannabis oil in her luggage. The two-time US Olympic basketball gold medalist pleaded guilty to drug charges last month and said she accidentally packed the drugs while in a hurry. Griner’s lawyers, Maria Blagovolina and Alexander Boykov, said in a written statement they will appeal the decision and criticized the court for ignoring their evidence. They have 10 days to appeal. “We are very disappointed by the verdict. As legal professionals, we believe that the court should be fair to everyone regardless of nationality. The court completely ignored all the evidence of the defense, and most importantly, the guilty plea,” they said in the statement. “This contradicts the existing legal practice. Taking into account the amount of the substance (not to mention the defects of the expertise) and the plea, the verdict is absolutely unreasonable. We will certainly file an appeal.” Speaking outside court, Boykov said that the average time in jail for this type of crime is five years, adding that almost a third of those convicted get parole. Griner “is not doing fine today,” said Blagovolina, a partner at Rybalkin, Gortsunyan, Dyakin and Partners law firm. The defense team is hopeful that Griner will be able to talk to her family next week. Blagovolina added that Griner will return to the detention center where she is being held. Sentence comes amid tense US-Russia relations The harsh sentence comes amid the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the country’s saber-rattling with the US and Europe. The US State Department maintains Griner is wrongfully detained, and US officials have offered a potential prisoner swap with Russia in an attempt to bring her home safely. Charge d’Affaires of the US Embassy in Russia, Elizabeth Rood, said the sentence was a “miscarriage of justice,” and US President Joe Biden said the lengthy sentence was “unacceptable.” “Today, American citizen Brittney Griner received a prison sentence that is one more reminder of what the world already knew: Russia is wrongfully detaining Brittney. It’s unacceptable, and I call on Russia to release her immediately so she can be with her wife, loved ones, friends, and teammates,” Biden said in a statement. Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized the Russian legal system more broadly, saying the sentence “puts a spotlight on our significant concerns with Russia’s legal system and the Russian government’s use of wrongful detentions to advance its own agenda, using individuals as political pawns.” He said the US is working to bring home Griner and Paul Whelan, an American citizen who has been held by Russia for alleged espionage since 2018. “This is an absolute priority of mine and the Department’s,” Blinken said. It’s now “up to the Russian side” on whether Griner’s conviction opens new doors for negotiations of a prisoner swap, National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said. “We’re still open to having our proposal seriously and positively considered, and if on the Russian side that means they feel like they’re more empowered to do that, then so be it,” Kirby told reporters in Thursday’s White House briefing. Kirby reiterated the US position remains that it wants Russia to “take the deal on the table because it’s a good one, it’s a fair one, and it’ll help bring Paul and Brittney home.” CNN National Security Analyst Steve Hall said the harsh sentence was not a surprise and argued that Russia’s court proceedings are not legitimate. READ MORE: Jurors In The Parkland Gunman's Trial Visit Mass Shooting Site“This is all performance in Russia. There was never any doubt as to what was going to happen,” he said. “What Vladimir Putin is trying to do is basically drive up the bargaining price of Ms. Griner.” Last week, CNN reported that the Biden administration proposed a prisoner swap with Russia, offering to release a convicted Russian arms trafficker, Viktor Bout, in exchange for Griner and Whelan. Russian officials countered the US offer, multiple sources familiar with the discussions have said, but US officials did not accept the request as a legitimate counteroffer. The Kremlin warned Tuesday that US “megaphone diplomacy” will not help negotiations for a prisoner exchange involving Griner. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow believes these talks should be “discrete.” Griner’s WNBA team, the Phoenix Mercury, plays the Connecticut Sun on Thursday night at 7 p.m. ET. The Mercury released a statement calling the verdict “a sobering milestone in the 168-day nightmare” of her detention. “We are inspired every day by BG’s strength and we are steadfastly committed to keeping her top-of-mind publicly until she is safely back on American soil. We will not allow her to be forgotten. We are BG.” In a joint statement, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver criticized the verdict and sentence as “unjustified and unfortunate, but not unexpected.” “The WNBA and NBA’s commitment to her safe return has not wavered and it is our hope that we are near the end of this process of finally bringing BG home to the United States,” they said. Defense asked for leniency in closing arguments The court hearing Thursday began shortly after Griner arrived in handcuffs, escorted by Russian officers into the defendant’s cage. Once uncuffed, she spoke with her legal team and then held up a photo of the UMMC Ekaterinburg basketball team, the Russian squad she played for during the WNBA offseason. In closing arguments, Blagovolina argued that Griner never used marijuana in Russia and that she never had the intention of doing so. She had no need to bring the vape cartridges to Russia, the lawyer added. All this confirms the complete absence of intent in her actions, Blagovolina argued. Even if Griner ever used medical marijuana, it was only at home back in Arizona, rare and only with a doctor’s prescription, she added. She couldn’t have known how strict the laws were in Russia, Blagovolina said. Boykov also argued Griner had no opportunity to properly examine the court documents. He said that the Russian constitution guarantees everyone the right to use their native language and the free choice of the language of communication. Boykov cited an instance when a language interpreter provided to Griner flipped through a lengthy document offered by an investigator for translation and then told Griner, “Basically, it means that you are guilty.” Throughout the trial, Griner’s attorneys have laid out arguments undermining the prosecution’s case and claiming her detention was not handled correctly after she was stopped February 17 by personnel at the Sheremetyevo International Airport. Her detention, search and arrest were “improper,” Boykov said last week, noting more details would be revealed during closing arguments. After she was stopped in the airport, Griner was made to sign documents that she did not fully understand, she testified. At first, she said, she was using Google translate on her phone but was later moved to another room where her phone was taken and she was made to sign more documents. No lawyer was present, Griner testified, and her rights were not explained to her. Those rights would include access to an attorney once she was detained and the right to know what she was suspected of. Under Russian law, she should have been informed of her rights within three hours of her arrest. On Tuesday, at the seventh hearing in her case, a defense expert testified that the examination of the substance contained in Griner’s vape cartridges did not comply with Russian law. Blagovolina also told CNN her team’s experts identified “a few defects” in the machines used to measure the substance. At trial, Griner testified she has a doctor’s prescription for medical cannabis and had no intention of bringing the drug into Russia. Following her detention in February, she was tested for drugs and was clean, her lawyers previously said. “We continue to insist that, by indiscretion, in a hurry, she packed her suitcase and did not pay attention to the fact that substances allowed for use in the United States ended up in this suitcase and arrived in the Russian Federation,” Boykov, of Moscow Legal Center, has said.

Tougher IRS enforcement central to Dem economic package WASHINGTON (AP) — After more than a decade of mostly losing out, the Internal Revenue Service may finally get the cash infusion it’s long wanted in the economic package that Democrats are working furiously to push through Congress before their August break. Under a deal worked out by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, the bill would spend an extra $79.6 billion on the beleaguered agency over the next 10 years. The plan would generate an additional $203.7 billion in revenue for the federal government over that time frame, for a net gain of more than $124 billion, the Congressional Budget Office projects. As the Senate prepares to begin voting on the bill in the coming days, the IRS proposal has become a magnet for GOP attacks, testing Democratic unity as they try to deliver on key climate and health care priorities ahead of the fall midterm elections. Democrats say the IRS investment is needed to ensure that corporations and wealthier Americans pay what they owe in taxes. But Republicans are warning it will lead to increased scrutiny of small business owners and others who are burdened enough. The IRS has been mostly on the losing end of congressional funding fights over the past dozen years. In April, IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig told members of the Senate Finance Committee the agency’s budget has decreased by more than 15% over the past decade when accounting for inflation and that the number of full-time employees at 79,000 in the last fiscal year was close to 1974 levels. Enforcement staffing has been hit even harder, falling by some 30% since 2010, even though the filing population increased. “Every measure that is important to effective tax administration has suffered tremendously in recent years, with profound deficiencies resulting from underinvestment in human capital and information technology,” Rettig said. Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., a longtime member of the Senate Finance Committee, said he hears the same thing from IRS commissioners every few years, regardless of whether they’re serving a Republican or Democratic administration. “They beg us to provide some resources to the IRS so they can do their job,” Carper said. Democrats see an opportunity to change that. More than half of their proposed spending increase would go to enforcement. The next biggest chunk, $25.3 billion, would go to operations support, such as rent, security and postage. Another $4.75 billion would go to improve call-back services and other technology designed to improve customer service. And $3.2 billion would go to pre-filing and educational assistance. Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., called the investment “essential as a tool to making sure we have a rational tax policy.” “This will give us the chance to raise the revenue from wealthy tax cheats who are getting out of paying what they owe,” Wyden said. GOP lawmakers decry the plan and depict a larger IRS as a means to harass constituents. “In a time of inflation, Democrats also want to spend $80 billion to roughly double the size of the IRS so they can take more money out of the American people through harassment and audits, using taxpayer money to make taxpayers’ lives worse,” Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said on the Senate floor Thursday. “I think it’s terrible for them to want to weaponize the Internal Revenue Service, to supersize it in an effort to go after, you know, families and farmers and small businesses and try to raise more money,” said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo. “It’s basically a shakedown operation.” One particular complaint is that the Democratic proposal should have put more resources for customer service rather than focusing on enforcement. The pandemic forced the IRS to temporarily shut down its processing facilities for health and safety reasons. That has led to unprecedented delays and challenges with the IRS still struggling to catch up. “First, take care of good, honest taxpayers just trying to get basic assistance out of the IRS,” said Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont. In a letter to lawmakers on Thursday, Rettig emphasized that the resources in the package would get the IRS back to historical norms in areas that are challenging the agency. Those include large corporations and high net-worth taxpayers, as well as multinational taxpayers, where sophisticated, specialized teams are needed to unpack complex structures. He also said that audit rates would not rise relative to recent years for those with less than $400,000 in annual income. “These resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle-income Americans,” Rettig wrote. The CBO projections indicate that the IRS measures represent about a sixth of the revenue raised by the bill, with that revenue going toward helping people buy private health coverage, boosting federal investments in renewable energy like wind and solar power, and paying down debt, among other things. It’s unclear which aspects of the Democratic tax proposals could change before the Senate completes work on the bill, but Wyden said he is confident that the boost in spending for the IRS will remain in the final package. “I can tell you, thus far, I have not had an objection in the Democratic caucus on this provision of beefing up IRS resources so they can go after wealthy tax cheats,” Wyden said.

From coffee to toothpaste, Nigerians buy small as hardships bite Nigerians struggling to manage high costs of living are turning to smaller packets of products From five grams of toothpaste to 10 millilitres of cooking oil, many Nigerians struggling with soaring prices now buy their basic necessities in small quantities packed in tiny plastic bags to be consumed on the same day. Consumer brands behind this "sachetisation of the economy" see it as a creative innovation, allowing consumption for all Nigerians, the majority of whom live on less than $2 a day. But critics see the development as an economic and ecological aberration, even as Africa's largest economy struggles with the inflationary fallout from Russia's war in Ukraine. In the streets of Lagos, the vibrant economic capital of Africa's most populous country, small sachets are now part of the decor: they colour its streets, packing the wood and tin shops found on the corner of most streets. Sitting on a stool, Ibrahim Atahire has been running his small grocery store for 30 years in a busy area of Obalende, a popular district of the megalopolis. "At my place, you can buy everything in small quantities," said the 55-year-old trader with a streaked grey beard. On its stand, everything is sold in sachets: coffee or powdered milk for just one cup, a few grams of cereal, toothpaste for one brushing, razors packaged and sold individually, washing powder and fabric softener for a single wash. Even mosquito cream to relieve bites is sold in a package smaller than the palm of a hand. For lunch, cooking oil is purchased in sachets, as are spices, tomato sauce, crushed garlic and ginger powder. One sachet, for each ingredient and for each meal. "I have been selling sachets for several years, but recently people can no longer afford to buy in normal quantities, so that is all I am selling now," Atahire said. In a parallel street, Sanni Aicha was searching the stalls for the cheapest packet of cooking oil. The mother of two confides that she is "no longer getting by". "Before I used to get oil in cans, but for two years everything has been so expensive." - 95 million poor - Nigeria has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, which pushed up consumer prices in 2021 by 17 percent and forced an additional six million Nigerians into poverty. It is now suffering the fallout from the war in Ukraine. In 2022, the World Bank predicts inflation of 15.5 percent and one million more poor people, with the national poverty line calculated at $1.93 at 2011 levels per person per day. June inflation was 18 percent. In all, the number of poor people in Nigeria is expected to reach 95.1 million -- nearly half of the population -- by the end of this year, the institution said. Street stalls in Lagos sell small packets of everything from coffee to mosquito cream "A lot of people that used to be in the middle class are now falling into poverty... People that used to consume those products at a bigger size, but they can't afford those sizes any longer," said Tunde Leye, an economist at SBM Intelligence risk analysts. "Big brands were losing market because people are unable to buy in big quantity, so they started to sachetise so they could reach that part of the market." Sachets really hit the Nigerian market in the early 2010s, with brands offering consumers products in reduced quantities to entice them to try new products, says a former marketing manager for a major European brand in Nigeria. But in 2016, when the country fell into recession after the fall in oil prices, "everybody was buying sachet. So we started to sell every product in sachet," the manager said. Since then, the economic situation has not improved much, so demand for small packaging has exploded, said one director of a plastics factory in the country. "Inflation is so high. Sanitary pads are now sold as single units," said the entrepreneur, who spoke on condition of anonymity. - Floods - The sun is setting in Obalende, and Aicha is scouring the streets in search of the most competitive price. "Buying in sachets almost every day costs me more at the end of the month," said the peanut seller. For cooking oil it is on average 20 percent more expensive, she says. This is how the poorest end up "spending more" than the others, SBM economist Leye said. All the more so in times of high inflation when the prices of sachets increase almost every day. The packaging also poses a major environmental problem, by generating "always more plastic", said Nigerian environmental activist Oluwaseyi Moejoh. Sachets not only colour the stalls of Lagos, they are also found on the ground: scattered on the potholed sidewalks or in the plastic magmas which clog its open sewers and overflow each rainy season. About a quarter of the waste generated in Lagos is discharged into canals and lagoons and is identified as a major cause of the city's flooding and the spread of waterborne disease, according to a 2017 study. The poorest who live in precarious housing and flood-prone neighbourhoods are the first to be affected. Moejoh is calling for greater "state control", and for big brands to be held "accountable" for their plastic pollution. "The poor always end up paying more," Moejoh said.

Achieves double-digit Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, coupled with strong cash generation, while prioritizing customer service GENEVA, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Firmenich International SA, the world's largest privately-owned Fragrance and Taste company, announces its Full Year Results for the 52 weeks ended 30 June 2022. Financial Highlights - Revenue of CHF 4,723 million, up +11.1%[1] - Adjusted EBITDA of CHF 905 million, up +10.9% - Adjusted EBITDA margin 19.2%, up +10 basis points - Free Cash Flow of CHF 414 million, down -19.1%, or -5.9% on a comparable basis[2] - EBITDA to Free Cash Flow conversion ratio of 51.8% - Record Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, despite a challenging global environment for raw materials, logistics and energy costs - Outperforming the industry in topline growth and gaining market share, underpinned by double-digit Revenue growth across both Perfumery & Ingredients and Taste & Beyond, on the back of improving customer demand - Revenue growth across all regions, and strong momentum in our key geographies, including Europe (+18.9%), India (+13.1%), China (+9.4%), and North America (+5.1%) - Strong cash generation, despite higher safety inventories linked to prioritizing customer service of supply in a challenging global environment "Firmenich's strong performance in FY22 is the result of our ongoing commitment to serve and innovate with our customers and a testament to the strengths of our offerings across Fragrance and Taste. We are now moving to a new chapter in our history, with the announced merger with DSM, and I am pleased to see that our company is entering this new phase from a position of strength.", said Patrick Firmenich, Chairman of the Board. "Despite the ongoing challenging macro-economic environment, Firmenich has delivered another year of strong results, with double digit growth in Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. We have demonstrated leadership and excellence in execution. As always, I want to thank our 11,000 employees who have made this possible. I look forward with excitement to the coming year, which marks the start of a new chapter for Firmenich.", said Gilbert Ghostine, CEO of Firmenich. Operating Highlights - Continued to prioritize customer supply, preserving superior OTIF[3] service levels, in a particularly challenging global raw material and supply chain environment - Benefited from our ongoing investment in growing segments and differentiated offerings, including Sugar Reduction, Naturals & Renewable Ingredients, Plant-based Foods, Clean & Responsible Fragrances, e-commerce and digital channels - Continued investment in strategic markets, highlighted by the move to majority ownership of ArtSci in April 2022 to better serve the high-growth Chinese taste market - Ongoing strategic investment in innovation: - Raising the bar in ESG: improved our industry-leading Sustainalytics ESG risk score to 7.5, in the top 50 companies rated worldwide; recognized as one of the 2022 World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere; secured a fourth consecutive Triple "A" rating from CDP; and a second consecutive EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability Rating, with an industry-leading score of 88/100, in the top 1% of all companies assessed FY 2022 Performance In Fiscal Year 2022, we saw the global economy enter a challenging raw material and supply chain environment, compounded by high geopolitical instability, and new waves of Covid-19 in various regions. Against this backdrop, we delivered record Revenue growth across the business, as well as double-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth and strong cash generation. We navigated this challenging environment with agility, prioritizing service and safety of supply for our customers. Our trustworthiness as a commercial partner, combined with the competitive advantage provided by our supply vertical integration, has helped us continue to gain market share. Revenue Revenue increased +11.1%, reaching CHF 4,723 million. Acquisitions contributed CHF 6 million or +0.1 percentage points to Revenue growth. Foreign exchange had an unfavorable impact of CHF -29 million or –0.7 percentage points, mainly due to the appreciation of the US dollar and the depreciation of the Euro relative to the Swiss Franc. On a reported basis, Revenue increased +10.5% year-over-year. Perfumery & Ingredients Revenue increased +11.3%, driven by the industry-leading growth and market share gains in Fine Fragrance (+32.5%), and strong customer demand in Ingredients. Consumer Fragrances grew by low single-digits against a backdrop of industry-wide softness. Taste & Beyond Revenue increased +10.7%, driven by our innovation portfolio and our commercial focus on strategic partnerships with key customers. Our differentiated offering in Sugar Reduction, Naturals & Renewable Ingredients, Plant-based Foods, and Clean & Responsible Fragrances continued to drive growth. We continued to outperform our key competitor, as a leader in our industry. In the second half of the Fiscal Year, we delivered double-digit Revenue growth of +10.0%, maintaining the momentum that we had at the beginning of the year. During FY22, on a geographical basis, we achieved strong Revenue growth across all regions and strong momentum in our key geographies, including Europe (+18.9%), India (+13.1%), China (+9.4%), and North America (+5.1%). Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA Like the rest of the industry, we have witnessed significant inflationary pressure on raw materials, energy and transportation costs, which accelerated in the second half of the year, as well as new waves of Covid-19 affecting various geographies. We have also faced an unfavorable evolution of foreign exchange rates, linked primarily to the strengthening of the Swiss franc against the Euro and other trading currencies. We took proactive actions to mitigate the negative effect of these challenges, including pricing in partnership with our customers, and cost discipline. Gross Profit reached CHF 1,847 million, up +5.0% on a reported basis. Gross Margin, as a percentage of Revenue, decreased by -210 basis points compared to the previous year, to 39.1%. Adjusted EBITDA increased by double-digits to CHF 905 million, up +10.9% year-over-year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange Adjusted EBITDA would have increased by +13.1%. Including the 12-month impact pro-forma impact of acquisitions, Adj. EBITDA was CHF 916m. Adjusted EBITDA margin, as a percentage of Revenue, increased to 19.2%, up +10 basis points compared to the previous year. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and foreign exchange, Adjusted EBITDA margin would have increased by +30 basis points. EBITDA was CHF 798 million, down -8.6% year-over-year, due to the impact of non-recurring expenses linked to the DSM-Firmenich merger. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, foreign exchange and non-recurring expenses related the DSM-Firmenich merger, EBITDA would have increased by +3.2%. Free Cash Flow We delivered strong free cash flow generation, reaching an EBITDA to Free Cash Flow conversion ratio of 51.8%, while prioritizing customer service levels and security of supply in a challenging global raw material and supply chain environment. Free Cash Flow decreased by -19.1% year-over-year to CHF 414 million. On a comparable basis, excluding CHF 72 million of exceptional items that positively affected Free Cash Flow in the previous year, Free Cash Flow decreased by -5.9%. Profit growth was offset by unfavorable working capital, linked to CHF 242 million of higher inventories, as a result of higher safety stocks to preserve customer service, as well as raw material cost inflation. We will continue balancing customer service with cash generation in line with our commitment to maintaining a strong investment grade credit rating. Leader in Responsible Business We are proud to be the industry leader in ESG. Being a responsible business is at the core of our values and is a source of trust and differentiation for our customers, our investors and across all our stakeholders. To reinforce our Company's commitment to sustainability, in March 2022 we have formally embedded ESG at our highest level of governance, through the creation of a Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board of Directors. Our ESG performance continues to receive best-in-class evaluation. We received an enhanced rating from Sustainalytics, with a score of 7.5, improving on our already industry-leading score of last Fiscal Year. This not only places us among the ESG leaders in our industry and the broader Chemicals sector, but also in the global top 50 of approximately 15,000 companies. For the fourth year in a row, Firmenich was one of only two companies in the world to have received a triple "A" rating from CDP, in Climate, Water and Forests. This is a testament to our efforts to address environmental issues across our operations. In addition, we also achieved a second consecutive Platinum sustainability rating from EcoVadis, with an industry-leading score of 88% that also places us in the top 1% of all companies assessed worldwide. At Firmenich, we believe in business for good, and in a world with rising inequalities and social divides, we stand and act for a fairer and more equitable society. Firmenich is now one of only two companies in the world, and the first in our industry, to be globally Living Wage Certified by Fair Wage Network. Firmenich was ranked 10th out of 350 companies in the World Benchmarking Alliance Food & Agriculture Benchmark. The Food and Agriculture Benchmark measures and ranks keystone companies on key issues underpinning the food systems transformation agenda in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Consumer demand for natural, sustainable and renewable products is a structural growth trend in our industry. Our leadership in natural ingredients, our strong vertical integration and our innovation in this space, as well as leading ESG credentials, have remained important for retaining and attracting customers as they progress with their own sustainability roadmaps. As part of Firmenich's program to develop sustainable new ingredients, in the last year we launched Muguissimo™: a new biodegradable lily-of-the-valley ingredient, developed through Green Chemistry, that brings elegant and fresh natural floral notes to fragrances, highly appreciated by perfumers. Furthermore, we have accelerated our innovation in plant-based protein solutions by launching our latest portfolio of SmartProteins® innovations for the rapidly growing plant-based dairy space. To help consumers achieve better nutrition and well-being with less sugar, we have continued to develop our NutriGem Nutrition Innovation program, with ready-to-use integrated solutions using fibers, vitamins, minerals, and natural extracts. Merger with DSM On 31 May 2022, Firmenich announced that it had entered into a business combination agreement with DSM to establish the leading creation and innovation partner in nutrition, beauty and well-being: DSM-Firmenich. The combination will bring together Firmenich's unique leading Perfumery and Taste businesses, its world-class science platforms and associated co-creation capabilities with DSM's outstanding Health and Nutrition portfolio and renowned scientific expertise.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- BioArctic AB's (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: BIOA B) partner Eisai presented new data for lecanemab (BAN2401), an investigational anti-amyloid beta (Aβ) protofibril antibody for the treatment of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild AD (collectively known as early AD) with confirmed presence of amyloid pathology in the brain, at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) held in San Diego, California and virtually July 31 through August 4, 2022. Eisai presented lecanemab data and research in one oral and eight poster presentations at the meeting. Highlights included new data on a subcutaneous formulation of lecanemab. The new data has been used to define the appropriate subcutaneous dosing now being further evaluated in the Phase 3 Clarity AD open label extension study. A further highlight was the presentation of a modeling simulation of the impact of ApoE4 genotype on the incidence of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities – edema/effusion (ARIA-E) – in subjects treated with lecanemab. The modeling predicted incidence on ARIA-E in ApoE4 carriers (homo- and heterozygotes) and non-carriers, and corresponds well with what has been observed in the Phase 2b core and open label extension studies. "Eisai's broad clinical program for lecanemab continues to deliver data regarding how lecanemab could be used as a potential disease-modifying treatment for patients with Alzheimer's disease. The subcutaneous dosing currently being evaluated in the Clarity AD open-label extension study can potentially be of further benefit for patients. There is a great enthusiasm in the Alzheimer field for lecanemab and the other late-stage second generation anti-amyloid antibodies with Phase 3 readouts in the coming months. We are eagerly looking forward to the topline data of the Clarity AD Phase 3 study this fall and the possibility of helping the Alzheimer community battle the disease," said BioArctic's CEO Gunilla Osswald. In July 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for lecanemab under the accelerated approval pathway and was granted priority review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of January 6, 2023. The readout of the primary endpoint data of Clarity AD will occur in the fall of 2022. The FDA has agreed that the results of Clarity AD when completed, can serve as the confirmatory study to verify the clinical benefit of lecanemab. All Eisai's presentation and posters from the AAIC congress regarding lecanemab are available on www.bioarctic.com. This release discusses investigational uses of an agent in development and is not intended to convey conclusions about efficacy or safety. There is no guarantee that any investigational uses of such product will successfully complete clinical development or gain health authority approval. For further information, please contact: Gunilla Osswald, CEO E-mail: gunilla.osswald@bioarctic.se Phone: +46 8 695 69 30 Oskar Bosson, VP Communications and IR E-mail: oskar.bosson@bioarctic.se Phone: +46 70 410 71 80 The information was released for public disclosure, through the agency of the contact persons above, on August 5, 2022, at 08:00 a.m. CET. About lecanemab (BAN2401) Lecanemab is an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that is the result of a strategic research alliance between BioArctic and Eisai. Lecanemab selectively binds to, neutralize and eliminate soluble toxic Aβ aggregates (protofibrils) that are thought to contribute to the neurodegenerative process in AD. As such, lecanemab may have the potential to have an effect on disease pathology and to slow down the progression of the disease. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture, and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement concluded with BioArctic in December 2007. In March 2014, Eisai and Biogen entered into a joint development and commercialization agreement for lecanemab. Currently, lecanemab is being studied in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical study in symptomatic early AD (Clarity AD), following the outcome of the Phase 2b clinical study (Study 201). In addition, the Phase 3 clinical study, AHEAD 3-45, for individuals with preclinical (asymptomatic) AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of brain amyloid, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, and Eisai. In 2021, DIAN-TU selected lecanemab for a clinical trial for dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease as a background anti-amyloid treatment when exploring combination therapies with anti tau treatments in dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease subjects. In June 2021, FDA granted lecanemab Breakthrough Therapy designation and in December 2021, FDA granted lecanemab Fast track designation. Furthermore, Eisai has performed a lecanemab subcutaneous dosing Phase 1 study and the subcutaneous formulation is currently being evaluated in the Clarity AD open label extension study. About the collaboration between BioArctic and Eisai Since 2005, BioArctic has long-term collaboration with Eisai regarding the development and commercialization of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The most important agreements are the Development and Commercialization Agreement for the lecanemab antibody, which was signed in December 2007, and the Development and Commercialization agreement for the antibody BAN2401 back-up for Alzheimer's disease, which was signed in May 2015. Eisai is responsible for the clinical development, application for market approval and commercialization of the products for Alzheimer's disease. BioArctic has no development costs for lecanemab in Alzheimer's disease and is entitled to payments in connection with regulatory filings, approvals, and sales milestones as well as royalties on global sales. About BioArctic AB BioArctic AB (publ) is a Swedish research-based biopharma company focusing on disease-modifying treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and ALS. BioArctic focuses on innovative treatments in areas with high unmet medical needs. The company was founded in 2003 based on innovative research from Uppsala University, Sweden. Collaborations with universities are of great importance to the company together with its strategically important global partner Eisai in Alzheimer disease.

US, Russia, China take part in talks with SE Asian nations PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken joined the foreign ministers of Russia and China at a meeting Friday with top diplomats from Southeast Asia at a time when the global powers are riven by tensions. The East Asia Summit of the ongoing Association of Southeast Asian Nations meetings in Cambodia’s capital was the first time the three men were scheduled to take part in the same forum. It came a day after WNBA star Brittney Griner was convicted of drug possession and sentenced to nine years in prison by Russia in a politically charged case amid antagonisms over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. China, meantime, has shown outrage over U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit this week to Taiwan — a self-governing island Beijing claims as its own — and launched show-of-force military exercises in response. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi patted Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the shoulder as he entered the room and gave the already-seated Lavrov a quick wave before taking his own seat. Lavrov waved back in response. Blinken, who entered the room last, did not even glance at Lavrov as he took his own seat about a half-dozen chairs away, or at Wang who was seated farther down the same table as Lavrov. Ahead of the Phnom Penh talks, the U.S. State Department indicated Blinken had no plans to meet one-on-one with either man during the course of the meetings. On Thursday, China canceled a foreign ministers’ meeting with Japan to protest a statement from the Group of 7 nations that said there was no justification for Beijing’s military exercises, which virtually encircle Taiwan. “Japan, together with other member of the G-7 and the EU, made an irresponsible statement accusing China and confounding right and wrong,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in Beijing. When Japan’s Foreign Minister Hayashi Yoshimasa began to speak Friday at the East Asia Summit, both Lavrov and Wang walked out of the room, according to a diplomat in the room who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss the private session. The East Asia Summit’s chair, Cambodian Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn, opened the 2 1/2 hour talks saying he hoped that all delegates would use the forum as a “means of engagement and communication” with one another. “Every year we have our set of challenges to address but I have to say that never before, not like this year, have we been confronted with so many perils at the same time,” he said before ushering the media out to begin the closed-door talks. ____ Jim Gomez in Manila, Philippines, contributed to this report.

NEW DELHI (AP) — India’s central bank on Wednesday raised its key interest rate by 50 basis points to 5.4% in its third such hike since May as it focuses on containing inflation. Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das projected inflation at 6.7% in this financial year. June was the sixth consecutive month with inflation above the central bank’s tolerance level of 6%, he said in a statement after a meeting of the bank’s monitoring committee. The committee decided “to remain focused on the withdrawal of accommodation to ensure that inflation remains within the target going forward while supporting growth,” he said. Das said the global economic and financial environment has deteriorated with the combined impact of monetary policy tightening across the world and the war in Ukraine raising risks of a recession. The Indian rupee has plunged to an all-time low of 79.05 rupees to one U.S. dollar. Das attributed its weakness to a strengthening dollar as interest rates rise in the United States. Multiple waves of COVID-19 outbreaks have badly hit India’s large informal sector and contact-intensive services like restaurants, hotels, retailing and tourism. Unemployment has risen to nearly 8%, according to data from the think tank Center for Monitoring Indian Economy. The main opposition Congress party on Friday organized marches across the country protesting rising prices of petrol, gas, foodstuffs and goods and the services tax. India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman defended the government’s handling of the economy in Parliament earlier this week. She said there is zero probability of India slipping into recession, even though there are some other major economies are at greater risk of falling into recession. On Friday, Das projected that the economy would expand at a 7.2% annual pace in the current fiscal year, which ends in March 2023, slowing to 6.7% in the next financial year. “On the outlook for growth, rural consumption is expected to benefit from the brightening agricultural prospects,” he said. Demand for services as the pandemic wanes and an improvement in business and consumer sentiment should boost discretionary spending and urban consumption, he said. The International Monetary Fund has projected 7.4% economic growth for India in 2022, down from 8.7% in 2021 and slipping to 6.1% in 2023. The IMF on Thursday suggested that India withdraw fiscal and monetary policy stimulus gradually, develop better infrastructure for exports, such as ports and railways, and scale up shipments by forging free trade agreements with key trading partners to keep its economy balanced over the medium term. Former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said earlier this week that India should focus on services instead of blindly following China’s model of manufacturing-led growth. Even if India’s economy is growing faster than many other nations, he said the country still needs more growth to sustain its huge population, now at 1.4 billion and due to overtake China’s within a few years.

LOS ANGELES — A judge on Thursday ruled that Kevin Spacey and his production companies must pay the makers of “House of Cards” nearly $31 million because of losses brought on by his 2017 firing for the sexual harassment of crew members. The ruling from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mel Red Recana gives the force of law to the $30.9 award in favor of MRC and other companies that produced the Netflix series by a private arbitrator who heard the case against Spacey. Recana wrote that Spacey and his attorneys “fail to demonstrate that this is even a close case” and "do not demonstrate that the damages award was so utterly irrational that it amounts to an arbitrary remaking of the parties’ contracts.” “We are pleased with the court's ruling,” MRC attorney Michael Kump said in an email to The Associated Press. Spacey has denied the allegations through his attorneys and his spokesperson, who did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment. The arbitrator found that Spacey violated his contract’s demands for professional behavior by “engaging certain conduct in connection with several crew members in each of the five seasons that he starred in and executive produced House of Cards," according to a filing from Kump requesting the approval. As a result, MRC had to fire Spacey, halt production of the show’s sixth season, rewrite it to remove Spacey’s central character, and shorten it from 13 to eight episodes to meet deadlines, resulting in tens of millions in losses, according to court documents. Spacey’s attorneys argued in their own filings that the decision to exclude him from the show’s sixth season came before the internal investigation that led the crew members to come forward, and thus was not part of a contract breach. They argued that the actor's actions were not a substantial factor in the show's losses. The ruling from the private arbitrator came after a legal fight of more than three years and an eight-day evidentiary hearing that was kept secret from the public, along with the rest of the dispute, until a panel of three more private arbitrators rejected Spacey's appeal and upheld the decision in November. The 63-year-old Oscar winner's career came to an abrupt halt late in 2017 as the #MeToo movement gained momentum and allegations against him emerged from several places. Spacey was fired or removed from projects, most notably “House of Cards,” the Netflix political thriller where for five seasons he played lead character Frank Underwood, a power-hungry congressman who becomes president. Last month, Spacey pleaded not guilty in London to charges of sexually assaulting three men a decade or more ago, when he was director of the Old Vic theater there. His lawyer said he “strenuously denies” the allegations. He is set to face trial next year. Another criminal case brought against him, an indecent assault and battery charge stemming from the alleged groping of an 18-year-old man at a Nantucket resort, was dismissed by Massachusetts prosecutors in 2019. Spacey also faces lawsuits from other men, including actor Anthony Rapp.

ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: President Trump has spent most of today in the public eye at the U.N. General Assembly in New York, going from meetings with world leaders to a press conference flanked by members of his cabinet. And in one appearance after another, Trump has insisted that he did nothing wrong in his July call with the president of Ukraine. We now know that in that call, Trump asked Ukraine's president to look into Vice President Joe Biden and his son. NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith is following the president's response to the House impeachment inquiry, and she's here in the studio. Hey, Tam. TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: Hi. SHAPIRO: We've heard President Trump talk about what was in the call with Ukraine's leader, and now we actually have an account of what was in that call on July 25. So how do the two compare? KEITH: Yeah, so the rough transcript shows President Trump talking about how much aid the U.S. has given Ukraine. It shows him asking the president of Ukraine, Zelenskiy, to talk to his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and the attorney general about investigating the Bidens. President Trump makes this request three times over the course of the call. President Trump has said that this transcript, as he calls it, exonerates him. SHAPIRO: He says it's a perfect call. KEITH: He says it is a perfect call, that nothing happened that is in any way wrong. Other people look at that and see it as troubling, improper, concerning - any number of other words. President Trump in his press conference seemed to say, like, why are Democrats talking about impeaching me for this? (SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE) PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Impeachment for that - when you have a wonderful meeting or you have a wonderful phone conversation? I think you should ask - well, actually, you know, that was the second conversation. I think you should ask for the first conversation, also. I can't believe they haven't, although I heard there's a rumor out they want the first conversation. It was beautiful. It was just a perfect conversation. But I think you should do that. I think you should do. And I think you should ask for VP Pence's conversation because he had a couple of conversations, also. I can save you a lot of time. They were all perfect. KEITH: And there's actually some news in there. Later in the press conference, President Trump said, sure, let's release the transcript of that, too. There was an earlier call between the president and Zelenskiy back in April. It is far from certain that that transcript would be released. SHAPIRO: So President Trump gave that news conference in New York as, here in Washington, leaders of the congressional intelligence committees finally got access to the whistleblower complaint that they were pushing for that set off this whole storm. What is President Trump saying about that? KEITH: The president is saying that he is all for transparency. This is something that he says often. And though he also - in addition to this whistleblower complaint coming out or going to Congress, he wants investigations of Biden, as well as congressional Democrats. And he is also escalating his attacks on the whistleblower. (SOUNDBITE OF PRESS CONFERENCE) TRUMP: You know, the so-called whistleblower, the one that didn't have any first-class or first-rate or second-tier information, from what I understand, you'll have to figure that out for yourself. KEITH: Let me just say that that searching for words, the monotone - that really characterized the entire press conference that he held. He focused on his accomplishments, the wall. He talked about his election win in 2016, Wisconsin. He kept asking for questions about the economy. And he also complained a lot that what he was doing as president was being overshadowed by talk of impeachment. SHAPIRO: There have been so many different elements of this story today, and one of them, of course, was that meeting with Ukraine's leader in New York, a previously scheduled meeting. Did that reveal anything about the nature of this call that's been at the center of the controversy? KEITH: Well, a reporter asked the Ukrainian president if he felt pressure from Trump to investigate the Bidens. And Zelenskiy said that he doesn't want to be involved in U.S. elections. But then he said it was a good phone call - normal - and that nobody pushed him. SHAPIRO: That's NPR White House correspondent Tamara Keith. Thanks a lot. KEITH: You're welcome.

LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST: A Native American tribe has granted personhood to a river in northern California making it the first known River in North America to have the same legal rights as a human, at least under tribal law. The Yurok Tribe based near the southern border of Oregon confirmed the new status on the Klamath River. For years, water management systems and climate change have led to lower water flows in the Klamath and fewer salmon - one of the Yurok's main food sources. We're joined now by Yurok Tribe General Counsel Amy Cordalis, who is also a tribal member. Welcome to the program. AMY CORDALIS: (Speaking Yurok) Thank you for having me. GARCIA-NAVARRO: What does the status of personhood mean for a river? CORDALIS: What it means is it gives the right to the river to exist, to flourish and to naturally evolve and a right to a stable climate free from human caused climate change impacts. What that means is that anytime the river is hurt, for example, there's a toxic pollutant that is, gets into the water of the river, we could then bring a cause of action against that polluter to protect the river. GARCIA-NAVARRO: So would the Yurok Tribe be able to take legal action against polluters of the river further upstream beyond their territory? CORDALIS: Well, that gets into some jurisdictional issues, but we certainly would make the argument. GARCIA-NAVARRO: What prompted this? Why did they decide to take this action? CORDALIS: One, the Yurok people have always lived along the banks of the Klamath River. And in our creation story, the creator told us that as long as we lived in a balance with the natural world we would never want for anything. And we live that way for a very long time. Of course, you know, after the invasion in the 1800s and development occurred outside of our control that balance has been thrown off. GARCIA-NAVARRO: I understand that the situation with the salmon, though, has really prompted a lot of concern. Can you explain a little bit about what's going on and how it's been going this year? CORDALIS: The salmon runs are the lowest they've ever been. Even this year, it was anticipated that the returning salmon runs were going to be strong, but they never showed up. We don't know where they are. We have been doing all we can to protect the river and, you know, working within existing legal frameworks. And it's not enough. GARCIA-NAVARRO: We should note that this is not the first body of water to be granted personhood. Toledo, Ohio voters approved a referendum to grant personhood for Lake Erie in February, although that is being challenged. Is this an idea that's gaining traction beyond Native Americans? CORDALIS: Absolutely. The New Zealand Government granted rights of a river. And really what I think this is, is a reflection of a change of societal values. So we're in a climate crisis. And we need new tools to respond to that crisis. And in this country right now, corporations have rights as a person. And that's because historically our country valued commerce. And so I think it's a logical next step in this era of climate change to give the same kind of legal recognition to the natural environment and to nature. GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's Amy Cordalis. She's the general counsel for the Yurok Tribe in Northern California. Thank you so much. CORDALIS: Thank you. (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

As recession fears grow, strong US hiring is likely slowing WASHINGTON (AP) — The American job market has defied raging inflation, rising interest rates, growing recession fears. Month after month, U.S. employers just kept adding hundreds of thousands of workers, often beating forecasters’ expectations. But now economists worry that signs of weakness are starting to turn up in hiring, threatening one of the United States’ last remaining redoubts of economic strength. Job openings are down, and the number of Americans signing up for unemployment benefits is up. “When we look across the labor market, we are seeing broad indications of cracks beginning to show,’’ said Sarah House, senior economist at Wells Fargo. “Overall conditions aren’t nearly as strong as what we were seeing three to six months ago.’’ The Labor Department reports on Friday how many jobs were created in July and whether the super-low U.S. unemployment rate has begun to tick higher. Forecasters, on average, expect the economy to have picked up another 250,000 jobs last month, according to a survey by the data firm FactSet. That would be a solid number in normal times but would mark a big deceleration for 2022: Employers have been hiring an average 457,000 workers a month so far this year. The unemployment rate is expected to stay at 3.6% — just off a 50-year low — for the fifth straight month. The job news will have political implications, too: Worries about high prices and the risk of recession are likely to weigh on voters in November’s midterm elections, potentially making it tougher for President Joe Biden’s Democrats to keep control of Congress. The economic backdrop is troubling: Gross domestic product — the broadest measure of economic output — fell in both the first and second quarters; consecutive GDP drops is one definition of a recession. And inflation is roaring at a 40-year high. The job market’s continued strength — especially the low jobless rate — is the main reason most economists don’t believe a downturn has started yet, though they increasingly fear that one is on the way. History isn’t entirely reassuring: The unemployment rate was even lower — 3.5% — when an 11-month recession began in December 1969. Americans aren’t the only ones contending with difficult economic times. Recession fears are rising in Europe, too. In the United Kingdom, the Bank of England on Thursday projected that the world’s fifth-largest economy would slide into recession by the end of the year. Russia’s war in Ukraine has darkened the outlook across Europe. The conflict has made energy supplies scarce and driven prices higher. European countries are bracing for the possibility that Moscow will keep reducing — and perhaps completely cut off — flows of natural gas, used to power factories, generate electricity and keep homes warm in winter. If Europeans can’t store enough gas for the cold months, rationing may be required by industry. Economies have been on a wild ride since COVID hit in early 2020. The pandemic brought economic life to a near standstill as companies shut down and consumers stayed home as a health precaution. In March and April 2020, American employers slashed a staggering 22 million jobs and the economy plunged into a deep, two-month recession. But massive government aid — and the Federal Reserve’s decision to slash interest rates and pour money into financial markets — fueled a surprisingly quick recovery. Caught off guard by the strength of the rebound, factories, shops, ports and freight yards were overwhelmed with orders and scrambled to bring back the workers they furloughed when COVID hit. The result has been shortages of workers and supplies, delayed shipments -- and rising prices. In the United States, inflation has been rising steadily for more than a year. In June, consumer prices jumped 9.1% from a year earlier — the biggest increase since 1981. The Fed at first underestimated inflation’s resurgence, thinking prices were rising because of temporary supply chain bottlenecks. But inflation refused to go away. Now the central bank is responding aggressively. It has raised its benchmark short-term interest rate four times this year, and more rate hikes are ahead. Higher borrowing costs are taking a toll. Rising mortgage rates, for instance, have cooled a red-hot housing market. Sales of previously occupied homes dropped in June for the fifth straight month. Real estate companies — including lending firm loanDepot and online housing broker Redfin — have begun laying off workers. The labor market is showing other signs of wobbliness. The Labor Department reported Tuesday that employers posted 10.7 million job openings in June — a healthy number but the lowest since September. And the four-week average number of Americans signing up for unemployment benefits — a proxy for layoffs that smooths out week-to-week swings — rose last week to the highest level since November, though the numbers may have been exaggerated by seasonal factors. Friday’s jobs report comes at a critical moment for President Biden, who has maintained that the economy is merely slowing down rather than heading into a recession. Inflation has dogged public support for Biden, yet the administration has stressed that the 3.6% unemployment rate and solid job gains are signs of a healthy economy. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the administration expects the pace of hiring to fall further in the coming months because the unemployment rate is already near historic lows and fewer potential workers are available. A slower pace of hiring and reduced levels of wage growth could also suggest that inflationary pressures are easing, but it has the White House attempting to convince the American public that less growth is a positive at a moment when Republican lawmakers are saying a recession has already started; they cite the drop in GDP over the first half of the year. “We’re expecting it to be closer to 150,000 jobs per month,” Jean-Pierre said at Thursday’s briefing. “This kind of job growth is consistent with the lower level of unemployment numbers that we’ve been seeing.” Economist House at Wells Fargo expects employers to keep adding jobs for a few months. But rising interest rates, she said, will gradually choke off economic growth. “We are actually looking for outright declines in hiring come the first quarter, maybe second quarter of next year,’’ she said. “As monetary policy continues to tighten, that’s going to have an effect on overall business conditions and therefore demand for workers. “Our expectation is that the U.S. economy will slip into recession, probably at the start of the year.’’ ____ Josh Boak in Washington and Courtney Bonnell in London contributed to this story.

FILE — Tina Peters speaks to supporters at her election watch party in Sedalia, Colo., on June 28, 2022. State officials announced that Peters, a prominent Colorado election conspiracy theorist, will get a recount after all, now that she has raised $256,000 to pay for the review of her loss in the Republican primary for secretary of state. The Secretary of State’s office says it’ll perform the recount by Aug. 4. Thomas Peipert THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Tina Peters, then a candidate for Colorado secretary of state, says good night to supporters at her election watch party in Sedalia on June 28. Peters lost her bid for the GOP nomination. Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters lost her recounted bid for the Republican Party’s nomination for secretary of state in June by the same 88,579 vote margin that was reported on election night. Because Elbert County discovered 37 uncounted ballots cast during the primary, both Peters and the ultimate winner of the race, Pamela Anderson, each gained 13 more votes, the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said Thursday. The third candidate in the race, Michael O’Donnell, won 11 more votes, according to the final results of a recount of the race that Peters tried to block by filing a lawsuit Thursday, despite paying $255,912 to fund it. As a result, Peters narrowly edged out O’Donnell for second place with the same 28.86%-to-28.08% reported the first time. Anderson earned 43.06%, and will go on to face Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, in the November general election. Elbert County Clerk Dallas Schroeder, who similarly made copies of election hard drives but did not reveal them to outsiders as Peters did, reported to the state that his office had discovered the unopened ballots while preparing to store all ballots. While they were not counted during the primary, they were in the recount, state elections officials said. In a lawsuit challenging the recount, which names Griswold and the clerks in 63 of the state’s 64 counties, except herself, Peters claims that the state failed to follow Colorado laws governing recounts. She’s also asking the Denver District Court to foot the bill for the recount cost, even though state law is clear that such costs are to be paid by candidates whose election results aren’t within one half of a percent. Peters lost to Anderson, a former Jefferson County clerk, by more than 14%. Peters had been removed as the county’s designated official earlier this year while she faces 10 felony and misdemeanor charges of tampering with election equipment, identity theft and misconduct in office. Peters’ lawsuit also alleges that the Dominion Voting System machines used in 62 of the 64 counties are vulnerable to outside influence, though she offers no evidence that actually occurred. The same suit, which also names Mesa County Director of Elections Brandi Bantz, includes the two counties, Garfield and Douglas, that use Clear Ballot tabulation machines instead of Dominion. “Petitioner has ‘reasonable grounds to believe’ that her recount is not being conducted in a fair, impartial and uniform manner, particularly in light of the failure of the respondents to follow Colorado law requiring that a comparison be made,” Peters’ Texas attorney, Nicholas Armer, wrote in the lawsuit. Not only is Peters asking for the money she paid to conduct the recount be returned to her, she’s also asking the court to pay for any expenses for a new, hand-counted one. That money is to be distributed to the counties to cover their costs for doing the recount. Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, said the recount was completely unnecessary given its results, saying they showed once again that the state’s election system is accurate. “She has found it to her advantage, and to the advantage of other election deniers, to perpetuate conspiracies rather than facts,” said Crane, Republican. “The recount she asked for showed she lost, just as our post-election audits already held in every county and certified by volunteer citizen canvass boards found,” he added. “Clerk Peters’ attempt to concoct a reason for this recount is window dressing for the larger effort to undermine confidence in our elections.” Since the primary election on June 28, when Peters lost the race, she’s collected more money into her campaign account than she did before the primary. In that time, she’s collected more than $500,000, nearly all of which came from out of state. Since entering the race in February, she’s collected a total of $735,000, according to her latest campaign finance report filed earlier this week. Anderson has collected about $150,000 since entering the race late last year, while Griswold has about $516,000 in her account. She’s raised more than $3.2 million since first getting elected nearly four years ago. Peters’ recount was the only one statewide, but not the only one. One candidate for the Colorado Senate in El Paso County, Lynda Zamora Wilson, also paid the required $20,000 for a recount. That candidate’s loss, too, was upheld. She lost her primary race against state Sen. Paul Lundeen, R-Colorado Springs, by more than 33% of the vote. Partly cloudy skies. A stray shower or thunderstorm is possible. Low 74F.

Nerves are building as the sun shines over the Silverstone paddock. Former World Superbike champion and MotoGP rider Neil Hodgson is ready to take to the track - with me on the back as a pillion passenger. “Go with the flow of what the rider in control of the bike is doing,” advises Moto2 star Jake Dixon. “Make sure you lean with him, don’t lean away from him because it’ll help him when he’s riding and give you a better experience as well. That’s the biggest thing.” Hodgson offers plenty of reassurance - his crashing days are behind him, he won’t be taking any risks and that seems to make plenty of sense. Just as nerves are calming, another ex-MotoGP rider Michael Laverty chimes in with exactly what I don’t want to here… “I wouldn’t fancy doing the pillion as much,” he says. “When you’re in control, you get to experience that every input, you feel the reaction. “Whenever someone else is in control, that scares me more. Riding around the back with Neil would be much more scary for me than riding myself as fast as possible!” Reassuring. The good news is we’re going to be flying around Silverstone, one of the best tracks in the world and the venue that will host the British Grand Prix this weekend, live on BT Sport. “It’s an incredible track,” Hodgson states. “It’s unique because it’s so big, it’s wide, it’s so wide - some of the tracks we go to are half the width or even less. A narrow track makes it really one-line, that makes overtaking really difficult. “But there are so many lines at Silverstone, so many ways to build a fast lap and that means you get some great racing. From a personal point of view riding around here, when you’re on the track, it’s so unique and a real special place to ride.” “I love it,” Laverty adds. “It’s one of the best tracks in the world and it’s got such different character from one side of the track to the other. “You look at the turn one we use for MotoGP and you get the high speed corners, the long Hangar Straight, the hard braking at Club and Vale. It’s got something to really challenge the riders. “But with the sun shining, beautiful blue skies, I just love riding around it, it links up really well and I had some success here in British Superbikes. One of the best places on the calendar for me.” As Hodgson pulls out of the Silverstone pits, I cling on for dear life around his waist already feeling like he’s travelling quick enough. How fast will he be once we’re out on track? Down the Hanger Straight we hit around 165mph, he later tells me. "I wouldn't really want to go any faster," he says, explaining my weight on the back of the bike makes the "front feel really light". When MotoGP stars race down the same section of track this weekend, they will be travelling at over 200mph. Racing down Vale and into Club corner, it feels like there is no way the Ducati will stop in time to turn the corner. As Hodgson slams on the brakes, my backside lifts completely off the seat and for a moment I'm convinced I'll be flying over his head and the handlebars. Fortunately, that doesn't happen and we dive into the tight left hander before being flung to the right, hitting the apex and opening up the throttle into the straight, flying over the curb and what feels frighteningly close to the gravel trap on the exit. In reality, Hodgson could and would be going much faster without me on the back and it gives an incredible sense of just how on the edge top level MotoGP riders operate. There’s a nerviness, but also a calmness to sweeping around the open tarmac and feeling the rush of wind through the visor. “I always talk about the mindfulness version of it,” Laverty explains. “You’ve got your helmet on, your visor down and it’s really only you and your thoughts - hitting your markers, being as consistent as possible. “There’s a peacefulness to it where it’s just you, your thoughts and your focus. There’s really no room for any other internal chatter in your brain. It’s the one place I can go and the thoughts will just be me and riding that bike as well as I can. There’s an adrenaline rush as well, it’s a heck of a buzz.” Whilst it can be a calm place when a rider is in their groove, the stark reality is that the stakes are high and danger is around every corner. It’s something that most people would struggle to put to the back of their mind, but those involved in the sport find their own way to look past the risks. “Do you know what? This might sound like it’s hard to believe but you never wanted to crash because you were always in a championship, you don’t score points,” Hodgson says. “The fear of failure outweighed the fear of getting injured. “I know that if you crash on a race circuit you could be incredibly unlucky and lose your life, but the chances of that happening are a billion to one. “Every time you get into a car and drive, there could be some bloke coming along, looking at his phone that could kill you. Yes, somebody will get killed with that happening, but it’s not going to be you, is it? “That’s what you feel like on a bike - you know you could get injured, but it’s not going to happen to me.” For Laverty, understanding why he crashed was the key method for getting over the psychological and physical damage it could do. He explains: “It’s one of those things where when you’re young, starting out and figuring it out, when you crash and don’t know why you crashed that can be hard to take, knock your confidence and take a while to come back from it. “But with experience you know exactly why you crash, you know when you’re about to crash in general, the only ones you can’t control are someone else taking you down but that’s just part of racing. “The safety equipment has come on so well with advancements, airbags and the helmet development and everything. You hope that on closed circuits there’s enough run-off that you’re only going to bounce and tumble and beat yourself up a little bit. “You hope that the ultimate is never going to happen. It can happen and it does happen but you accept the risks, and we love the sport. It’s an inherently dangerous sport, it’s always going to be but you put it to the back of your mind and move on. “When it starts coming to the forefront of your mind and you’re thinking about it, in my opinion as a racer, that’s when it’s time to stop.” Whilst bravery is in abundance for MotoGP stars, there is also a huge element of natural talent and feel for the bike. Laverty now advises multiple young riders with his own academy, and recognises there is only so much he can do. “I’ve got a lot of those really young riders who are figuring the sport out and a lot of it is intuition and feeling through your hands, your bum and your brain,” he says. “It all becomes subconscious with practice and time but they’re still figuring that out so it’s all consciously thought about at the moment. You try to give them pointers, but it is a hard thing. “The only thing that will ingrain it in them is time and experience so you’ve got to work at it and have patience. You can put them on the right path, but a lot of it you can’t teach it, it generally comes from feeling - you’ve got to go out there, experience it and understand it.” Jake Dixon knows all about the dangers of the sport having suffered his fair share of injuries, but that will be put to the back burner this weekend as he arrives at his home Grand Prix. “It’s part and parcel of racing,” he says. “It’s something you have to accept and when you crash you just go back out and go faster, that's the way I deal with it anyway. “It’s always going to happen, it’s just trying to understand where the limit is so you don’t crash too much.” The 22-year-old has secured two podiums and impressed in Moto2 this season and is eyeing more success at his home race. “Doing any Grand Prix, especially your home Grand Prix, is amazing,” he states. “You come with added pressures but obviously you have the home crowd support that cheers you on. “It gives me extra motivation to come here and do well, and coming in the best form I ever have done in Moto2 I want to fight the win for the British fans and see if I can do it.” He will be joined on the Moto2 grid by Scottish youngster Rory Skinner, who has been earmarked as Britain’s next big hope having impressed in the British Superbikes this season. “Like most racers, it’s always come from their parents,” the 20-year-old reveals. “My dad has had bikes since he was 11 years old, did a bit of club racing, nothing too spectacular but he won a Scottish Championship or two. “Bikes have always been around for me - had my first one at 18 months old, started riding when I was three then racing when I was six so they’ve been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember.” His Moto2 opportunity as a wildcard brings plenty of attention and a huge chance to catch the eye as teams begin to plan for next season - but he insists he remains relaxed. “There’s no pressure to perform, the team are well aware how difficult it is to transfer to Moto2 from any championship,” he says. “I’m going into it with no expectations, no pressure, just looking to enjoy it. It’s going to be a steep learning curve, I’m fully aware of that, but it’s something I’m just looking forward to. “I’m 20 years old, getting to do a Grand Prix, I’m so grateful for it and just looking forward to a new challenge. “At the end of the day, it’s better to get there early, give it my best shot and if something comes from it, it does, if it doesn’t then I’ll know I’ve given it my all.” Skinner and Dixon will be riding on the edge at Silverstone and hitting speeds mere mortals could only dream of experiencing. Danger is never far away, but just three laps on the back of a bike at Silverstone give a clear experience of the thrill and adrenaline they will experience in their quest to cross the line first.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CME Group, the world's leading derivatives marketplace, today announced it will launch European Overnight Index futures based on RepoFunds Rate (RFR) benchmarks and the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR) in Q4 2022, pending regulatory review. RFR futures will be cash-settled contracts based on RFR benchmarks, a robust measure of overnight funding costs. The benchmarks are derived from centrally cleared repo trades executed on BrokerTec, a leading provider of electronic trading platforms and technology services in fixed income markets owned by CME Group, and MTS, a leading European electronic fixed income trading platform, part of the Euronext group. RFR benchmarks are administered by CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA). "Our new European Overnight Index futures will support customers with liquid and capital efficient tools for hedging overnight money market and repo rates in European markets," said Sean Tully, CME Group Global Head of Rates and OTC Products. "At a time of geopolitical uncertainty and large-scale transitions in monetary policy, we continue to provide market participants with new tools to meet their evolving risk management needs. In addition to our increasingly liquid SOFR futures that help customers manage interest rate exposure in the U.S., our new European futures will help our customers manage sovereign debt risk in Europe." Available to trade on CME Globex and for submission of clearing via CME ClearPort, European Overnight Index futures will be subject to the rules of CME, cleared by CME Clearing, and will receive automatic margin offsets against existing interest rate futures upon launch.

Stocks waver in August start after best month since 2020 NEW YORK — (AP) — Stocks wavered in afternoon trading on Wall Street Monday as investors face another busy week of corporate earnings reports and economic updates. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% as of 1:26 p.m. Eastern. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 76 points, or 0.2%, to 32,765 and the Nasdaq fell 0.4%. U.S. crude oil prices fell 4.6% and weighed heavily on energy companies. Exxon Mobil lost 3.6%. Retailers and consumer products makers made solid gains and offset losses elsewhere in the market. Target rose 1.7% and Procter & Gamble rose 3.5%. Boeing jumped 6.1% after it cleared a key hurdle with federal regulators and could soon resume deliveries of its large 787 airliner. The yield on the 10-year Treasury, which influences mortgage rates, fell to 2.61% from 2.65% late Friday. August's subdued opening follows a solid rally for stocks in July that marked the best month for the S&P 500 index since November 2020. Stocks had been falling for much of the year as investors worry about high inflation and rising interest rates. A key concern remains whether central banks will raise interest rates too aggressively and push economies into a recession. The Federal Reserve raised its key short-term interest rate by 0.75 percentage points on Wednesday, lifting it to the highest level since 2018. The goal is to slow the U.S. economy to help temper the impact from inflation. An inflation gauge that is closely tracked by the Fed jumped 6.8% in June from a year ago, the biggest increase in four decades. A surge in oil prices throughout the year only worsened the impact from inflation. U.S. crude oil prices are up roughly 25% in 2022 and that has raised gasoline prices in the U.S. to record levels. A report last week showed that the U.S. economy contracted last quarter and could be in a recession. Stocks' recent rally came as worrisome economic reports gave some investors confidence that the Fed can dial back its aggressive pace of rate hikes sooner than expected. Several big companies are reporting earnings this week, which will give investors insight into how inflation is impacting businesses and consumers. Construction equipment maker Caterpillar and coffee chain Starbucks report earnings on Tuesday. Pharmacy chain CVS reports earnings on Wednesday. More than half of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported their latest earnings results, which have been mostly better than expected. Many companies have also warned that inflation is hurting consumer spending and squeezing operations. Businesses have been increasing prices in an effort to keep up profits. Wall Street will also get several updates on the job market, which has remained strong. The Labor Department will release its June survey on job openings and labor turnover on Tuesday and its closely-watched monthly employment report for July on Friday.

Hydrogen energy has generated a lot of interest as a renewable fuel, but not all hydrogen is green. Hydrogen is produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, a process called electrolysis. The hydrogen can then be stored and transported economically due to its high weight to energy ratio. However, electrolysis is very inefficient, and using fossil fuel to create hydrogen does not reduce our CO2 levels. Our energy needs to come from renewables. An added advantage is that solar or wind power could then be stored to use when needed, not immediately, as is the present case. So why isn’t hydrogen energy being used now? It is, but very sparingly, mainly to power forklifts and a few cars in California. Presently, very little hydrogen produced is green; it’s mostly created from natural gas. Nevertheless, experts hope that large green hydrogen plants might be in place by 2030. Hydrogen is part of the solution. Today, the European Commission, United Nations and Japan are investing in research and development to make hydrogen a significant source of the world’s energy. The uses are varied, but transportation is especially attractive. A tank of hydrogen is more practical to power an 18-wheeler or a train than a battery. It is a race, and we are behind. Renewables must increase six times faster to reach the Paris goals. We must accept that there is a cost to reducing CO2, but that cost is worth it to save our grandchildren and future generations.

Motorola Razr 2022, X30 Pro Could Launch on August 11, May Go on Sale the Same Day Motorola Razr 2022 and Motorola X30 Pro smartphones were earlier scheduled for their launch in China on August 2. Just ahead of the event, the launch was cancelled and the exact reasons weren't revealed. UP NEXT Motorola was scheduled to launch its Moto Razr 2022 and Motorola X30 Pro smartphones in China on August 2. However, the launch was cancelled for reasons unknown. After confirming the cancellation of the launch event, Motorola and Lenovo General Manager Chen Jin have now teased a half-folded image of the Moto Razr 2022, which displays the August 11 date on the cover screen. Though the company has not confirmed the launch date as of now, it is being speculated that the devices may be launched in the coming week. Motorola manager Chen Jin recently unveiled a new teaser of the Moto Razr 2022 on Weibo. As per the teaser, the cover screen of the foldable phone can be seen displaying the August 11 date with the time set to 2pm. Additionally, the company is also set to launch the Moto X30 Pro at the same event. It is important to note that as of now, there is no confirmation regarding the rescheduled launch date of both the smartphones. The Motorola Razr 2022 and Motorola X30 Pro handsets are both available for pre-order via JD.com and the deadline has been showing up as 19:59 on August 11.

American Express offers biggest EVER sign-up bonus on new Platinum credit card, including 60,000 points and £200 travel credit: Is it a deal worth taking? - Amex's Platinum card will switch from a charge card to a credit card - Bonus includes 60,000 reward points for spending £6,000 in six months - Customers will also get £200 credit to spend online at American Express Travel - Points expert says it's a 'coupon book for middle-class people' - However, the card also comes with a hefty £575 annual fee American Express is offering its biggest ever sign-up bonus on its new Platinum credit card. New customers who sign up for the Platinum Card by 25 October 2022 and spend £6,000 in the first six months will receiving a whopping 60,000 membership reward points. They will also receive £200 credit to spend online at American Express Travel, the company's online travel booking portal, which can be put towards flight and hotel bookings - so long as they reach the £6,000 minimum spend. One expert said: 'Amex is turning Platinum into a coupon book for middle class people.' Membership rewards points give American Express users the flexibility to make the most of their rewards in a way that best suits them – from shopping to gift vouchers to holidays abroad While the card comes with benefits, it is vital to stay on top of paying off the bill as you go along. Fail to follow these rules will mean being charged sky-high interest. The benefits don't just stop at the bonus. Card membership also includes a £300 restaurant credit, travel insurance and lounge access. Cardholders can earn one membership reward point for every £1 they spend, and two points for any purchase made on on Amex Travel. Amex recently announced that the Platinum card will change from being a charge card to a traditional credit card for all new cardmembers. Whilst existing cardmembers won't be eligible for the sign-up offer, they will at least benefit from an improved 'invite a friend' referral bonus. Customers will now receive 24,000 membership rewards points, double the previous 12,000, for a successful referral. It is possible to accumulate a maximum of 90,000 membership reward points from referrals alone in a given year. The invited friend will receive 5,000 bonus reward points, taking their total welcome bonus to at least 65,000 points, if they spend £6,000 in the first six months. Although the points on offer are tantalising, the card also comes with a hefty £575 annual charge. Spend and save: Amex cardholders can now get up to £100 a year back when spending at Harvey Nichols – a new benefit announced in January 2022 What else does the card offer? The Platinum Card, whether in its charge card or new credit card format, comes with a large range of benefits. That includes worldwide travel insurance for the cardmember and their family, as well as the ability to add supplementary cardmembers. However, in the case of the new credit card, this has been cut to just one supplementary cardmember. It also gives £150 to spend in selected restaurants in the UK, a further £150 in restaurants abroad, up to £100 a year back when spending at Harvey Nichols and hotel benefits including complimentary room upgrades upon arrival. Another popular benefit is having access to the world's largest independent airport lounge access programme, Priority Pass. In total, cardmembers have access to over 1,300 airport lounges in 140 countries. Rob Burgess, editor of frequent flyer and loyalty points website headforpoints.com says: 'Amex is turning Platinum into a coupon book for middle class people. 'It is turning from a status symbol into something you can take a realistic look at on a pure value-for-money basis. 'Is full travel insurance for your family, airport lounge access, status with four hotel chains, Eurostar lounge access, £100 of Harvey Nichols credit, £300 of dining credit and £120 of Addison Lee credit worth £575 per year or not? It's now a simple yes or no question.' Should existing Platinum cardmembers switch? Existing Platinum cardmembers won't get up the signup bonus for switching from the charge card to the new credit card - but there may be an advantage in doing so. Charge cards can help build credit and earn rewards just like traditional credit cards - but unlike credit cards, the charge card balance must be paid off in full each month, otherwise, the cardholder will incur a fee. With credit cards, cardholders can carry over a large portion of their balance each month as long as they make the minimum payment each month as set by your credit card issuer. Another difference is that charge cards don't come with a set credit limit like credit cards do. Instead, the issuer can set someone's spending power based on their purchase behavior and payment history, and their charge card can be declined if a purchase exceeds it. According to Rob Burgess, there are pros and cons for existing cardmembers to consider before moving from the charge card to the credit card. 'The good news is that purchases on the credit card have Section 75 protection which is legally binding, unlike Amex's voluntary scheme on the charge card. 'You can of course now roll over a balance on the credit card, but the interest rate is so high that you'd need to be a complete idiot to do that. With the charge card you had to pay it off every month. 'The bad news is that they will now be limited to one supplementary card on the Platinum credit card, not the current five they enjoy. 'This is a big deal for some people, because everyone who gets a supplementary card gets full travel insurance for their entire family. 'I could, for example, give my brother a free Gold supplementary on my Platinum charge card and suddenly his entire family has travel insurance. You can't do that now.' Where to spend Amex points for the best deals Amex allows you to convert points into rewards via a range of shopping, travel and lifestyle partners, but how valuable the points are will ultimately depend on how you choose to redeem them. When redeeming points for gift cards at stores such as Amazon, Selfridges or Currys each point is worth 0.5p. For example, 60,000 points is enough for a £300 gift card from Amazon. Meanwhile, you can secure up to 0.8p per membership rewards point if you convert American Express points into Nectar. To achieve this you need to transfer Amex points into BA Avios points, and then again to Nectar. Each BA Avios point can be exchanged for 1.6 Nectar points. As a Nectar point is worth 0.5p, you're getting 0.8p per Amex point (i.e 0.5p x 1.6) if you do the transfer via Avios. For frequent flyers, points can be transferred to any of Amex's airline or hotel partners. Jetting off: When it comes to travel, membership rewards points can be used with a number of airline partners including British Airways The airline ratio is 1:1 meaning for every 10,000 points customers transfer, they'll get 1,000 airline miles. Most experts believe that you should be able to get 1p per frequent flyer mile if used well. Amex's airline partners include British Airways, Iberia, Virgin Atlantic and Emirates. You can also transfer points to the Hilton, Marriott and Radisson hotel programmes and to Club Eurostar. You can find out more about Amex's travel and hotel partners here. Burgess adds: 'Frankly, for year one it's a no-brainer if you can hit the £6000 spend target in the first six months,' says Burgess. 'If you kept it for a year, you'd get a minimum of £480 value from the 60k points bonus (convert them to Nectar and you get £480 of credit so this is the worse case). 'Then you add £200 Amex Travel credit, £600 of dining credit (as it resets on 1st January), £100 of Harvey Nichols credit, travel insurance, airport lounge access. 'If you're living a typical middle class lifestyle with quite a bit of travel then - for the first year at least - its a no-brainer isn't it?' What should users be wary of? The £575 annual charge is obviously the primary factor to be aware of when deciding whether the card offers good value. Aside from that, the bonus offer is only available if you have not held a personal membership, rewards-enrolled American Express card within the past two years. If you have held a such a card within the past two years, you will be entitled to all other card benefits, excluding the welcome offer. As with all credit cards, it's important to pay it off each month in order to avoid being stung by high interest charges. The purchase rate of the credit card is 25.7 per cent, which is the interest rate charged when you use your credit card to make purchases, and only applies if the balance is not paid off each month. The APR is a representative 437.9 per cent, which is influenced significantly by the card fee of £575. APRs are calculated by adding the interest rate to the card fee. In addition, it's worth being aware that some UK retailers don't accept Amex due to the fact that it charges them around 3 per cent for each sale they make. There are now more than 35,000 UK retailers that accept Amex. Amex also claims it has more small businesses on its network than ever before, having seen a 20 per cent rise over the last year. THIS IS MONEY'S FIVE OF THE BEST CURRENT ACCOUNTS Chase Bank's will pay £1% cashback on spending for the first 12 months. Customers also get access to an easy-access linked savings account paying 1.5% on balances up to £250,000. The account is completely free to set up and is entirely app based.

To get the bonus, £1,000 must be paid into a linked easy-access account paying 1% interest and 2 direct debits transferred over.

Brittney Griner 'can hardly talk' and is 'very stressed' as she looks to appeal nine-year sentence in 'friendly concentration camp' penal colony for smuggling cannabis vape into Russia - The lawyer for WNBA player Brittney Griner has said she 'can hardly talk' - Griner was sentenced to nine years in a penal colony in Russia on Thursday - Griner was arrested at Moscow Airport in February for bringing a cannabis vape pen into the country - White House has been unable to negotiate a prisoner swap to bring Griner home - There is speculation she will be swapped with arms dealer Viktor Bout, known as the 'merchant of death' - President Biden immediately denounced the sentence and said Russia 'wrongfully detained' her Brittney Griner's attorney Maria Blagovolina has said her client is 'very upset' and can 'hardly talk' following Thursday's sentence in which she was given nine years in a penal colony. 'She is very upset, very stressed,' Blagovolina said to reporters. 'She can hardly talk, honestly. So it's a difficult time for her.' 'When we saw Brittney, I think it was Tuesday, we told her, 'see you on Thursday'. And she said, 'see you on doomsday' so it looks like she was right,' Blagovolina said. Basketball player Brittney Griner stands inside a defendants' cage before the court's verdict in Khimki City court in Khimki outside Moscow, Russia on Thursday Brittney Griner's attorney Maria Blagovolina has said her client, the WNBA star is 'very upset' and can 'hardly talk' following Thursday's sentence in which she was given nine years in a penal colony 'She is very upset, very stressed,' Blagovolina, right, said to reporters. 'She can hardly talk, honestly. So it's a difficult time for her.' Griner's defense attorneys are planning to appeal the verdict and she now had 10 days in which to do so, with a hearing expected next week. Out of the 692 prisons in Russia, 684 are penal colonies which are described as a 'settlement established for punishing criminals by forced labor and isolation from society.' Alexei Navalny, a Russian opposition leader, lawyer, and anti-corruption activist is currently serving his sentence in a penal colony which he has described as a 'friendly concentration camp,' with cameras 'everywhere.' On Thursday night, the head coach of Griner's WNBA team said the nine-year sentence handed out to its star player was devastating -- even though it was no surprise. Russian prosecutors requested that US basketball star Brittney Griner be sentenced to nine and a half years on drug smuggling charges Griner sits inside a defendant's cage before the court's verdict in Khimki City court in Khimki outside Moscow 'We knew this was coming, we've been prepared for it,' said Vanessa Nygaard, Phoenix Mercury's head coach, noting the minuscule acquittal rates in Russian courts where Griner was convicted of smuggling drugs into the country. 'We know we weren't hanging our hopes on the Russian justice system. 'But we were literally getting ready to come out for shoot around today when this was going on,' she said. 'Players were watching it.' She said it made it hard to concentrate on Thursday night's WNBA game against the Connecticut Sun. 'The emotions have escalated during the day,' Nygaard said. 'We're going to go out and play this game, but, like, how can we have our focus on this game? It's such an emotional day for us.' Not for the first time, Nygaard suggested that if Griner wasn't a black, gay woman she wouldn't still be wrongfully detained in Russia. Two-time Olympic gold medalist and WNBA player Brittney Griner is escorted to hear the court's verdict in Khimki City court The Khimki City Court has sentenced Griner to nine years in prison after finding her guilty on charges of drug smuggling Griner is pictured being escorted to the courtroom to hear the court's final decision in Khimki outside Moscow 'We know that Tom Brady wouldn't be in Russia, so the comparison that way is tough to see,' Nygaard said, invoking superstar NFL quarterback Tom Brady. But Nygaard praised the 'tremendous' efforts of US President Joe Biden and his administration in seeking Griner's release and that of other Americans deemed wrongfully detained in Russia. 'What I do know is our government has really put itself behind BG and all other Americans -- we're learning a lot more about international wrongly detained Americans than we ever have,' she said. 'I know there are many other families experiencing this feeling, too.' Attention is now turning to the prospect of a prisoner swap between the United States and Russia that could bring her home. Secretary of State Antony Blinken went public with that possibility last week, revealing in an unusual announcement that the U.S. had made a 'substantial proposal' aimed at securing the release of Griner and another jailed American, Paul Whelan. Such a deal - assuming one can be reached with the Russians - is Griner's best chance of being freed early. President Biden immediately denounced the sentence and claimed Russia had 'wrongfully' detained her Griner with her wife Cherelle, who has been begging for White House help for months Though the guilty verdict was seen as a foregone conclusion, the imposition of a sentence her lawyers decried as far longer than average could give the U.S. extra impetus to strike a deal palatable to Russia as soon as possible. And the formal end of the court case could be the opening both sides need to forge a diplomatic resolution, too. Blinken did not specify the terms other than to describe the offer as substantial and something that he intended to discuss with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. A person familiar with the situation said that the U.S. offered to release Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms dealer serving a 25-year prison sentence on charges that he conspired to sell tens of millions of dollars in weapons to Colombia's former FARC guerrilla army. At the time of his conviction, the group was classified by the U.S. as a foreign terrorist organization, though that designation was lifted last year. The officials did wind up speaking by phone last Friday, the highest-level known contact between the two sides since Russia invaded Ukraine. They are also in Cambodia for meetings involving foreign ministers of Southeast Asian countries. There was speculation Griner would be freed as part of a prisoner swap in exchange for arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was arrested in the US in 2010

Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing the women accusing Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct, is calling out the NFL over Watson's six-game suspension. Buzbee, joined by some of Watson's accusers, addressed the media Thursday, criticizing the NFL for not interviewing all of the accusers and only presenting some of them during the hearing. "It is a given, that the NFL's disciplinary process is a juggled mess," said Buzbee. "It has been so inconsistent in the past that it's hard to take it seriously. And worst yet, everyone knows the NFL's record on women's issues is sketchy and sad." Ashley Solis, the first of dozens of women to accuse Watson of sexual misconduct, said the whole situation, has been mentally and emotionally taxing and Watson's suspension speaks clear to how the league feels about women who are treated wrong by men. "What do the actions of the NFL say to little girls who have suffered at the hands of someone perceived to have power? That it's not a big deal? That they don't care? Tough s***? That's what I'm taking from their actions," Solis said. It's important to know that Watson's NFL punishment was handed down by an independent arbitrator and didn't come from the league itself. The NFL is actually appealing the six-game suspension. In fact, the league wants him to be suspended for one year, a source told sports reporter Matt Musil. The NFL still holds the final say on Watson's punishment. The NFL Players Association is expected to appeal the NFL's ruling.

‘DC League of Super-Pets’ movie review: Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and co. have a blast With vivid action, inspired art deco, and eye-catching animation, this oddball team of DC Comics superheroes make for highly entertaining viewing Smart, warm, bright, and delightful, DC League of Super-Pets is the perfect pill to brighten up these gloomy, rain-soaked days. Since the baby Kal-El escaped the dying planet of Krypton, his puppy Krypto has promised to take care of him. Many years later, Superman (John Krasinski) and Krypto (Dwayne Johnson) are best friends and the super crime-fighting team of Metropolis. Though Krypto thinks life with Superman is going to be rosy and cosy with “walk o clocks” and watching bake-offs on telly forever, Superman planning to propose to his girlfriend, Lois Lane, (Olivia Wilde) signifies big changes. Across town in an animal shelter, a dog, Ace, (Kevin Hart) is trying to keep the spirits of the other rescued animals by talking of a farm upstate where everyone can run free. Ace’s shelter mates include a pig, PB, (Vanessa Bayer), a turtle, Merton (Natasha Lyonne) and a squirrel, Chip, (Diego Luna). Also in the shelter is Lulu, (Kate McKinnon) a guinea pig, Krypto rescued from Superman’s arch enemy, Lex Luthor’s (Marc Maron) lab. Far from being grateful, Lulu believes herself to be Luthor’s colleague and plans to continue with his plans for world domination. When Luthor uses his tractor beam to reel in orange kryptonite, Superman and Krypto are easily able to defeat him and incarcerate him at Stryker’s Island — the super-max prison. However, Lulu is able to reel in a small piece of orange kryptonite, which gives pets super powers. So apart from Lulu becoming powerful, the other animals in the shelter also get super powers! Ace becomes super strong, Merton is super fast (tee hee), PG can swell and shrink at will, while Chip has electro-kinesis. As part of her world domination plan, Lulu captures Superman and the rest of the Justice League. With Krypto losing his superpowers thanks to eating a piece of Kryptonite (“it is always in the cheese!”), it is up to PB, Ace, Merton and Chip to free the Justice League, defeat Lulu, put Luthor back in prison and save the world. The league of extraordinary pets do it all in great style, with wit and warmth, finding forever homes with the Justice League in the bargain. The action is vivid, the art deco inspired, the animation eye-catching and the jokes are zingers. The voice work is great too, with Keanu Reeves having a lot of fun as the angsty Batman. When he sees a Batman squeezy toy, he growls, “That better be a licensed toy or I will freak out.” There is also Krypto wishing there was a “skip intro” option in his father’s hologram. Krypto’s father incidentally is called Dog-El! And that bushy corgi waiting outside the shelter was a hoot.

3 more ships with grain depart Ukraine ports under UN deal ISTANBUL (AP) — Three more ships with grain have left Ukrainian ports and are headed to Turkey for inspection, Turkey’s defense ministry said Friday, evidence that a U.N.-backed deal is working to export Ukrainian grain that has been trapped by Russia’s invasion. The three ships are loaded with over 58,000 tons of corn. Much of the grain that Ukraine exports is used as animal feed, experts say. Ukraine is one of the world’s main breadbaskets and the stocks of grain trapped were exacerbating a sharp rise of food prices and raising fears of a global hunger crisis. The departure of the ships comes after the first grain shipment since the start of the war left Ukraine earlier this week. It crossed the Black Sea under the breakthrough wartime deal and passed inspection Wednesday in Istanbul and then headed on to Lebanon. The ships that departed Friday from Ukraine are from among over a dozen bulk carriers and cargo ships that had been loaded with grain and stuck at the ports there since the start of Russia’s invasion in late February. While tens of thousands of tons of grains are now making their way out with these latest shipments, it’s still a fraction of the 20 million tons of grains which Ukraine says are trapped in the country’s silos and ports, and which must be shipped out in order to make space for this year’s harvest. Around 6 million tons of that trapped grain is wheat, and just half of that is for human consumption, said David Laborde, an expert on agriculture and trade at the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington D.C. Prices of grains peaked in the first weeks after Russia’s invasion, but some have since come down to their pre-war levels. Corn prices are running around 70% above the levels seen at the end of February 2020, before the pandemic, according to Jonathan Haines, senior analyst and data and analytics firm, Gro Intelligence. He said wheat prices are currently 63% above the levels seen at the end of February this year, when the invasion was launched. The three ships that left Ukrainian ports are the Turkish-flagged Polarnet, carrying 12,000 tons of corn, which left the Chornomorsk port bound for Karasu, Turkey. The Panama-flagged Navi Star left Odesa’s port for Ireland with 33,000 tons of corn. The Maltese-flagged Rojen left Chornomorsk for the United Kingdom carrying over 13,000 tons of corn, according to the United Nations. The U.N. said the joint coordination center overseeing the deal had authorized the three ships as the operation expands, and also inspected a ship headed for Ukraine. The Barbados-flagged Fulmar S was inspected in Istanbul and is destined for Ukraine’s Chornomorsk port. Officials from Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the U.N. make up the Joint Coordination Center that oversees the deal signed in Istanbul last month. The deal’s aim is to create safe Black Sea shipping corridors to export Ukraine’s desperately needed agricultural products. Checks on ships by inspectors seek to ensure that outbound cargo ships carry only grain, fertilizer or food and not any other commodities, and that inbound ships are not carrying weapons. The U.N. said that the humanitarian corridor had to be revised after this week’s first shipment “to allow for more efficient passage of ships while maintaining safety.” ___ Aya Batrawy contributed from Dubai.

Boxing fans can't believe Deontay Wilder's 'skinny legs' as former heavyweight champion displays incredible body changes ahead of potential return to the ring - Deontay Wilder has not fought since losing to Tyson Fury again in October 2021 - The Bronze Bomber is training for a comeback to the heavyweight division - Fans stunned as Wilder's legs appear to have gotten even skinnier during layoff - The 6ft7in former WBC champion's highest weigh-in was 231 pounds last year Deontay Wilder is back in the gym and preparing for his comeback to boxing, but fans think he shouldn’t be skipping leg day. The Bronze Bomber hasn’t been seen since his second loss to Tyson Fury to complete their trilogy in October 2021. After contemplating retirement, the former WBC heavyweight champion is now training for a return to the ring and while the American is sporting a slenderer frame, fans can’t believe how skinny his legs are. Deontay Wilder has never had the biggest legs but fans can't believe they belong to him The 36-year-old stands at 6ft7in, and has always had big, muscular arms that along with his huge wingspan generates formidable power. However, he’s never had bulky legs. In fact, Wilder complained that his legs were compromised thanks to the extravagant costume he wore to the ring for his second fight with Fury. Still, he does look to have lost weight overall and fans were quick to jump on the picture. Wilder has always been one of the most fearsome punchers in the heavyweight division In 45 fights, Wilder has scored 41 knockouts and the only person he didn't KO was Tyson Fury Since he returned to training, Wilder has been training with compatriot Michael Hunter and he met UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou at UFC’s Performance Institute in Las Vegas. Wilder hasn’t got an opponent in mind or a date yet, but he’s ready to reinvigorate his career – and it’s not for the money. "I'm definitely considering coming back," Wilder said. "This is something that we're trying to figure out and get things situated. I feel [it could be] a re-boost for my career. Michael Hunter has been helped Wilder get ready for his return to boxing at in Las Vegas "It's not about the financial things, I never have to return to boxing ever again in my life. I've set my life up." The Alabama-native won’t be short of options when he goes looking for an opponent. Dereck Chisora has frequently mentioned Wilder’s name, but fighters like Dillian Whyte or the loser of Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk II would all be box office options.

FIFTEEN SECONDS. That was all it took for Nexplay EVOS' Season 10 jersey to be sold out on the first day of its sale. It lasted slightly longer on the second day, with fans getting a full 1 minute and 12 seconds to shop online before stocks were up. And here we are on the third day, where the sale only lasted for three minutes. Nexplay’s jersey has been one of the talking points during the offseason, with fans lauding the overall design. There's even an ongoing debate among the community whether Nexplay or Blacklist has the best kit for S10. For Marco Benito, the man behind the Season 10 jersey, hearing the comments from the fans was a beautiful sight. “Well at first, I was shocked because it was gone within 15 seconds. It was something new for me. But mostly I feel proud and happy from the response of the community,” he said to Spin.ph. “As a merchandise designer, nothing makes me happier than to see people wearing our jersey proudly and enjoying it, because these types of designs take months to do because of the revisions. So it makes me feel like the effort was worth it.” Though his design has been the center of attraction, Benito also gave a hat tip to other members of the org. “I [would] also like to give credit to merch and marketing team for the design to reach its fullest potential by sales strategy and social media promotion.” A mixture of different elements in Nexplay EVOS new jersey But before Nexplay could reach their record-breaking sales, they had to first conceptualize the overall look. Benito is a sports junkie and a fan of Chelsea Football Club, and said that he drew inspiration from the multiple designs. “I was a football player before and I was exposed to different kinds of jersey designs, different teams," he explained. "I watched a lot of sports so I try to take different elements from different kinds of jerseys and try to mix them up to see what kind of thing I can make.” With Nexplay as an esports organization, Benito decided to combine the elements of techwear with traditional sports, especially motorsports, to bring a unique style in esports. “We wanted to do something different this season, seeing that 99 percent of the market was having the same look and feel," he said. "We wanted to stray away from that design, we wanted to go to something unique, fresh, so we took some inspiration from tech wear and F1 motorsports, and it seems like the community really appreciated it." Japanese design elements also played a major role, with Benito acknowledging the influence of mecha and clothing line Machine56. And those characters in the jersey? They mean “legends.” We are now on Quento! Download the app to enjoy more articles and videos from SPIN.ph and other Summit Media websites.

HOT SPRINGS -- A Hot Springs man on probation from previous drug charges was arrested Wednesday on felony warrants stemming from accusations doctors removed baggies of methamphetamine and psychedelic drugs from his stomach in April. Eric James McWhirter, 40, who lists a Cooper Street address in Hot Springs, was taken into custody shortly before 3:30 p.m. in the area of Greenwood and Summer streets and served with felony warrants for possession of a controlled substance, meth, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and possession of a controlled substance, dimethyltryptamine, punishable by up to six years, and a misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear. McWhirter was being held on $7,000 bond and is set to appear Aug. 25 in Garland County District Court. According to court records, he pleaded guilty on Feb. 3, 2020, in Garland County Circuit Court to possession of meth with purpose to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia, and was sentenced to eight years' supervised probation. According to the probable cause affidavit, on April 19, around 11:30 a.m., Hot Springs police responded to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs emergency room where they spoke with the hospital head of security, T.J. Ford, who told them a man, identified as McWhirter, had come into the ER with stomach pains. Doctors treated McWhirter and reportedly removed a clear baggie from inside his stomach which was turned over to police detectives. They unfolded the bag, which was "roughly the size of an egg," and located three smaller baggies. Two of the baggies were each found to contain 3 grams of what later tested positive for meth, for a total of 6 grams. The third package was found to contain 1 gram of what tested positive for dimethyltryptamine, a psychedelic drug and hallucinogen derived from tryptamine. McWhirter was later released from the hospital after being treated and warrants were eventually issued for his arrest.

Family of Canberra woman Bronte Haskins call on ACT coroner to find several people failed her in the lead up to her suicide By Elizabeth ByrneThe family of Canberra woman Brontë Haskins has asked the ACT coroner to make adverse findings about several people involved in her case before and after her suicide in 2020. Key points: - Brontë Haskins, 23, took her own life in 2020 after suffering from substance abuse and mental illness - Her mother has called for the ACT coroner to find several people failed her before her death - The lawyer for Ms Haskins's family says if she was triaged correctly she would have been assessed by a trained mental-health clinician Ms Haskins, 23, died in hospital after several days on life support. Her death came while she was on bail after a stint in jail for drug driving. Ms Haskins had suffered both substance abuse and mental illness, something her mother said was not taken seriously enough by authorities. In the lead-up to her death she had been staying at her mother's home, while she was on bail. A coronial inquest into Ms Haskins's suicide heard her mother called police and mental health services when she became delusional, believing the unit where she was staying was a gas chamber. Several issues have been raised in the case before the ACT Coroner's Court, including the family's claim that a mental-health nurse failed to give the case the priority it required and failed to follow up a call from Ms Haskins's mother, Janine. Lawyer Sam Tierney who represented Ms Haskins's family referred to the staged triage system — where category A is the most serious, and category G requires more information — when criticising the way the case was handled by mental-health nurse Karina Boyd. "Had Ms Boyd not incorrectly triaged Brontë as category G, Brontë would have more likely than not been assessed face to face by a trained mental-health clinician within 72 hours and certainly prior to her death," Mr Tierney said. Counsel assisting the coroner Andrew Muller also took aim at the way the case was triaged. "Brontë should have been assessed as a category C or D, resulting in some urgent follow-up," Mr Muller said. "What is material is that, on any view of the available information, Brontë was incorrectly assessed for triage purposes." Mr Muller has recommended an overhaul of the triage system. But in its submissions, the ACT defended Ms Boyd's decision, saying she had not been able to speak to Ms Haskins and her only contact was with her mother. "She had been told that the AFP had been called and she assumed that the police would contact her if they thought Brontë needed a risk assessment or mental-health service," the territory submissions said. Court hears CCTV footage of minutes before attempt to take life missing Another key issue was the fact police returned a CCTV recorder to Brett French, an associate of Ms Haskins, at whose home she had tried to take her life. The court heard about 45 minutes of footage which may have shed light on the events leading up to her death was deleted Court documents showed Mr French had admitted showing some of the CCTV to another man. Mr Tierney told the court the family wanted an adverse finding against Mr French for his "callous" treatment of Ms Haskins on the day of her death. Mr Tierney also identified the behaviour of police investigating the death as an issue. "A proper investigation and analysis of the CCTV recorder may have disclosed further and important information to the coroner to assist in the process of considering Brontë's death," he said. He has called for a recommendation that will send a message to the AFP about the handling of coronial exhibits. The inquest has also looked into the management of Ms Haskins's case and whether further detention could have prevented her death. Mr Muller said there was evidence better communications about her could have helped. "Had Brontë been detained the outcome may, of course, have been different," Mr Muller said. "But there was no proper reason she could be detained." Other recommendations being sought by Ms Haskins's family include greater transparency in passing on to the Coroner's Court confidential details after the death of a mental health service user, recording of calls to the mental health line, audits of the triage system, and better information to be passed to AFP officers called to incidents. Coroner James Stewart said he would take some time to hand down his findings.

Peak District reservoirs running low as hosepipe bans come in elsewhere in UK Upcoming weather forecasts suggest we could be in for more dry conditions Some of the most popular reservoirs in the Peak District are beginning to run dry after recent hot spells in the area. And with the weather ahead looking to stay very dry, reservoir levels may decrease even further. The three reservoirs in the Peak District area which have been feeling the heat are all in the Derwent Valley. At the moment, Howden, Derwent and Ladybower reservoirs are all below the average Severn Trent reservoir level. The uppermost reservoir, Howden reservoir, is currently at 16.1 per cent of complete capacity. The lowest located reservoir, Ladybower, is at 56.2 per cent capacity and sat in the middle of the two, Derwent Reservoir is at 37.9 per cent capacity. TOP STORY: Mum's outrage council hasn't found school for her autistic son Despite the low levels, Severn Trent has issued a statement saying that the water levels are being monitored closely and at the moment, there won't be a hosepipe ban for Derbyshire. Hosepipe bans mean hosepipes cannot be used to water gardens or clean cars. South Staffs Water, which provides water in the Burton area, has said the same. Both have warned customers to be careful over the amount water they use in the current conditions. Kent, Sussex and Pembrokeshire all are set to have hosepipe bans in the coming weeks, reports DerbyshireLive. A Severn Trent spokesperson said: "Our region has seen a dry start to the year, only seeing 67 per cent of the rainfall usually expected between April - June 2022. "However, there hasn’t been a hosepipe ban in our region for more than 27 years (since 1995), and as we do every year, we continue to monitor reservoir levels and demand for water closely. We’d like to thank all of our customers for their support in being mindful about non-essential water use as the warm and dry weather continues into the summer". Here are some hot weather and tips for our customers to help reduce non-essential water use: • Keep hydrated • Have a shower rather than a bath to save water • Use a bucket and sponge rather than a hose to clean your car • Look for leaking loos and get them fixed • Turn off taps when not in use • When it’s time to empty the paddling pool use the water to water your plants • Water plants in the evening with a watering can – it’ll be more effective as less water will evaporate Look below for photos of the water levels at Howden Reservoir, Derwent Reservoir and Ladybower Reservoir

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate Authorities in Indonesia arrested three foreigners for distributing cocaine on the Indonesian resort island of Bali at the end of July. Officers from the National Narcotics Agency seized 844.6 grams (1.9 pounds) of cocaine along with other drugs including MDMA and cannabis from the three suspects, who are identified as British, Brazilian and Mexican. At a news conference Friday, Gde Sugianyar Dwi Putra, chief of Bali National Narcotics Agency, said the officers arrested the British man, who they suspect is the lowest-level distributor of the three, July 21 at a villa in Badung district after receiving some information about his alleged activities. The officers then arrested the Brazilian man, who is suspected of concocting drugs, at a separate place. The Mexican man, who has been in Bali since 2012 and is allegedly in the top level of their network, was arrested later. “We are still running the investigation. The entry of the cocaine will most likely come from Europe, because this cocaine entry route is specific," Sugianyar said. "It is produced in South America, sent to Europe, and from Europe it is spread to other countries, including through Indonesia.” The drug network the three men are allegedly involved in is known to target foreigners in some popular tourist areas in southern Bali. “Bali is the destination for foreign tourists. But we should remember that some of them are also part of the crime — one of them is narcotics,” Sugianyar said. He added that the suspects would be punished according to Indonesia’s Narcotics Law, with five years' imprisonment at minimum and a death sentence at maximum as both dealers and distributors of various types of drugs. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says Indonesia is a major smuggling hub in part because international drug syndicates target its young population. Indonesia’s National Narcotics Agency estimates there are 5.6 million drug users in the country of 270 million people. In May, Indonesian navy officers deployed to secure travel during the Eid al-Fitr holiday made Indonesia’s biggest cocaine seizure after finding plastic packages containing 179 kilograms (nearly 400 pounds) of the drug floating at sea near Merak Port on the main island of Java. No one has been arrested. Most of the more than 150 people on Indonesia’s death row were convicted of drug crimes. About one-third of them are foreigners. Its last executions were in 2016, when one Indonesian and three foreigners were shot by a firing squad.

Friday's letters: Government distrust, loss of autonomy, love thy neighbor, more Sarasota way of life threatened Sarasota has become a national poster child for those who say the government can’t be trusted with guiding the response to a pandemic – in schools or in hospitals. Vituperative School Board meetings have made national news. Sarasota Memorial Hospital faces a new slate of board candidates who think they can be trusted to do away with governmental oversight of public health. What's with us? More:How to send a letter to the editor In 1975, anticipating undisciplined growth, Sarasota was the first Florida county to promulgate a comprehensive land-use plan. This past February, our county commission gave mega-developers Rex Jensen and Pat Neal carte blanche to write a new section of the Comp Plan. Neal now seeks the breathtaking power to put 5,000 homes east of Sarasota, where existing zoning allows for 717 homes. This would end the rural life of Old Miakka, yet it's framed not as the taking of a 172-year-old community, but rather as a “right” inherent in a developer's private ownership. Privatizing public health, education and planning radically undermines collective, shared norms. Our imperfect democratic institutions deserve protection from those who’d profit from their extinction. Our public schools and public hospital, and our comprehensive planning, cannot be for sale. Tom Matrullo, Lake Sarasota No ‘empowerment’ in loss of choice The writer of the Aug. 3 guest column, “A post-Roe America could lead to real empowerment for women,” misses the entire point of protecting abortion rights. Pregnancy is not about diapers and wipes, nor does it have a thing to do with being married or unmarried. Ending an unwanted pregnancy is about a woman making a choice as to whether she wants to raise a child. Assuming that ending legal abortion “could” lead to “real empowerment” is absurd. Women are not “scared and turned off by the thought of raising a child,” as the columnist suggested. They simply want to make the decision for themselves without the government and the people in power trying to tell them what they can do with their own autonomy. What America does or does not do is irrelevant to a woman when she is pregnant. Not every woman wants to be a mother, just like not every woman wants to be a linguist. And that is her decision. Joyce Fuller, Sarasota Veterans won’t teach students how to riot A recent letter writer believes a veteran is only capable of teaching rifle cleaning. I served in the Navy, Coast Guard and Air National Guard. Upon retiring, I earned and paid for a master’s in art and a teaching degree. Some professors spend their careers taking a class or teaching one. One professor taught a class on how to interview and get a job, although he had never applied for one other than teaching. He didn’t have a clue what employers look for or need. If you get a job, your employer will teach you what he wants you to know. So don’t worry. He needs you as much as you need him. Veterans, taught by veteran instructors, run a worldwide operation larger than some countries’ economies. They know how to teach, so don’t worry about your children. Veterans will not teach children liberal “woke” nonsense, or how to protest, riot or walk out on speakers they don’t agree with. Nor will they teach children how to beg working families to pay off their student debt. They will do just fine. Larry J. Tracy, Sarasota Independents need to get in the game More than 40% of U.S. voters now identify as independent due to distaste for radical left and right politics. By doing so, moderates have left the field to complain from the sidelines. They forfeit to players they do not support. If you are an independent, get in the game. Join a party, support the moderates and vote in the primary and general elections. Do not let the loud calls of “RINO” or “DINO,” or whatever, bully you off the playing field. Be a radical activist moderate. Suit up and play. The game needs you. Ted Samuel, Venice What’s wrong with 'love thy neighbor'? Regarding an Aug. 3 letter about a “movement in the Republican Party known as Christian nationalism,” all I can say is the following: What’s so wrong with love thy neighbor as you love yourself, treat other people like you want to be treated, forgive 70 times 7, care for the poor, don’t lie, don’t steal, don’t cheat, don’t have sex with your neighbor’s wife (“Christian nationalists resemble Taliban”)? Maybe those Founding Fathers were onto something when they invented the world’s greatest nation. No one forces anyone to believe anything. But it would certainly be better than what we have now. John M. Alexander, Sarasota

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — On the day a U.S. drone strike killed the leader of al-Qaida in Afghanistan, the man in charge of the country's defense sat down for an interview. At the time we met Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, many Afghans knew there had been an explosion in Kabul, but not what it was. If Yaqoob knew more, he wasn't saying. He acknowledged "an incident today" but said it wasn't serious. It was 24 hours later when the Taliban said their preliminary investigation confirmed a strike by "American drones." Our talk with Yaqoob illustrated the demands facing the Taliban now that they have gone from an insurgent movement to Afghanistan's de facto power. Their role changed abruptly on Aug. 15, 2021, when they swept into the capital after the government collapsed. Rather than disrupt security, they are expected to provide it. Rather than undermine the government, they are expected to govern. As the anniversary neared of the Taliban's time in power, I asked to speak with Yaqoob, who said his group wanted better relations with the United States. Any prospect of that depends on how the Taliban rule. Yaqoob is part of the second generation of Taliban leadership. He is a son of Mullah Muhammad Omar, the cleric who led the Taliban during their first time in power from 1996-2001. To meet him on July 31 we caught a plane from Kabul — where some members of our NPR team heard the drone attack that morning — to Kandahar, the Taliban's traditional power center. We weren't told the exact time or place of the meeting in advance. Instead a car came to guide us there, so we only learned the location as we arrived. It was an old insurgent's security technique. We drove onto the compound from which his father once ruled — a tree-lined area in the shadow of two craggy mountains. Yaqoob, in his early 30s, told us he remembered running around that compound as a child in the 1990s. Those were the years when his father presided over an emirate that enforced a very specific idea of Islam. The Taliban hanged a former president. They held public executions in stadiums, destroyed a historic site, mandated burqas for women and denied most of them a chance to work or go to school. Omar also sheltered Osama bin Laden, and refused to turn over the al-Qaida leader when the United States demanded him after 9/11. Yaqoob followed his father into hiding when the U.S. attack began in Oct. 2001. Omar's compound later became a base for the United States and its Afghan allies, eventually surrounded by blast walls and checkpoints, dotted with the wreckage of military vehicles and physical training equipment. One of its buildings was renamed the "Kentucky Wildcuts Barber Shop." Omar died in 2013, but the son rose in the Taliban leadership and now has reclaimed his childhood home. We asked if he would show us around, but Yaqoob demurred. "The CIA has videos if you want to see them," he said. He nonetheless sat with us for more than an hour, pausing once to give his evening prayer before we resumed. He said he was happy for our visit because he wanted to explain "the truth to the world and especially the American nation." Yaqoob is styled the interim defense minister — "interim" because for the past year the Taliban have called their administration a provisional government. So far it's recognized by no other government in the world. They are running the bureaucratic machinery of the old Islamic republic, at least the parts that have nothing to do with democracy, which they have ended. They haven't said what form of government should replace it. "So far, there is no decision made about it," Yaqoob said. "I think for a while it will go on as an acting government, and depending on Afghanistan's condition, we will take the next step." We knew that Taliban and other religious leaders had held a mass meeting earlier this summer on the west side of Kabul. The group's supreme leader, Hibatullah Akhundzada, gave a speech in which he said he took no account of demands by the West, that not even atomic bombs could weaken their resistance. But having said what he would not do, Akhundzada left the stage without saying what he would do. This leaves many questions unanswered one year after the takeover. Some Afghan girls are in school while others are barred. Some women are still working while others cannot. Even leading ulema, or groups of religious scholars, have said it is appropriate for middle school and high school-age girls to return to class. "This is a serious issue for us," Yaqoob said. "Hopefully there will be more about it." Other Taliban officials we met during our journey said they must move slowly and prepare the political ground. They're concerned that some Taliban fighters, ideologically trained as they are, may turn against their own leaders. While the leadership debates, the current policy has led to widespread calls for change, even in very conservative, Taliban-dominated valleys. Strictly speaking, there is no rule of law at all. Afghanistan's republican constitution is not considered in effect, and nothing has replaced it. Some of the old laws are enforced — particularly tax laws; it's widely said here that the Taliban have been effective tax collectors — while others are considered defunct. The Taliban have allowed the free media to continue reporting the news, but also have been accused of beating journalists or demanding that they change their coverage. The disappearance of a media law leaves journalists uncertain of their rights. Establishing constitutional law is a "necessity," Yaqoob acknowledged. There also is no transparent means to investigate numerous allegations of human rights violations by Taliban forces across the country; a United Nations report recently alleged hundreds of extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and instances of torture in the first 10 months of Taliban rule. Yaqoob rejected the report but asserted that military courts were in place to prosecute those who committed abuses. Yaqoob's primary responsibility is security, which he described as "100% OK," though the later revelation that al-Qaida's leader was living in the center of Kabul cast the statement in a different light. The Taliban have waged brutal war against the Islamic State but historically have been more tolerant toward al-Qaida, dating back to the time when Yaqoob's father sheltered bin Laden. Asked if he wanted better relations with the United States, Yaqoob laughed. "This is obvious," he said, adding that recognition of the current regime was in the United State's own interest because the U.S. had no other regime to deal with. "There are many countries that are more against America than us, but they recognize them officially," he said. "There are more countries in the world that pose more danger than Afghanistan to America, but still America recognized them officially. I think that recognition is a positive step toward a bigger change." Yaqoob said he had heard that U.S. officials consider recognition politically impossible because the American people would be against it. "If that is true, I ask from the nation of America to put pressure on the government," he said. And if they don't, then "the claim of friendship with the Afghan people is more fake than honest." Other Taliban leaders compare their country to Vietnam's communist government, which fought the United States in what had previously been America's longest war, but later became a trading partner and even in some ways a friend. One difference, however, was demonstrated when President Joe Biden announced that a U.S. drone had killed the al-Qaida leader living just a few blocks from the Taliban's ministry of intelligence. U.S. officials regard extremist groups in Afghanistan as an ongoing threat, even if it is much diminished from years past. Securing Afghanistan against such threats used to be the United States' problem, along with their Afghan allies. It's the Taliban's problem now, with the United States and its drones overhead and watching. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
