The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion that was guaranteed nearly 50 years ago by the decision in
Roe v. Wade.
The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was released Friday morning. The justices, voting 6-3 along ideological lines, sided with the Mississippi abortion law that was in question.
Reactions were mixed across the country, with anti-abortion-rights supporters celebrating what they view as a victory, and abortion-rights activists expressing their frustration over the decision. Here are some of the scenes from D.C., and across the country.

- LUNA price has strong confluence targets in the $0.60 level.
- Terra's LUNA price trades tug-of-war like just below $2.00.
- Invalidation of the bearish trend could be a breach above $2.35.
Terra’s Luna price is in jeopardy and will need to make a turn in the market soon jo justify any bullish outlook for the long-term.
LUNA price is stuck in limbo
LUNA price continues mundane price action as a standstill ensues.The lack of momentum is a bearish confluence signal as the $0.59 level remains a significant level of interest for bears in the market.
Terra's LUNA price currently trades at $1.95, as the controversial cryptocurrency sees relatively no support from the bulls just under the $2.00 price level. It is likely that investors prefer to see a substantial breach above the $2.30 zone before jumping into the market for upside gains.
LUNA/USDT 1-Hour Chart
If market conditions persist, the bears coul trigger a sell-off into the $1.65 zone to mitigate order blocks established on June 18. Realistically, traders should consider looking for better opportunities as the uncertainty for LUNA lingers. Terra's Ceo Do Kwon vows to return the LUNA price to levels before the UST Stablecoin crash, but at the current time, his vows are unfulfilled.
Invalidation of the bearish downtrend could be a breach above $2.35. If the bulls can breach this level, they may be able to reconquer the $3.00 price zone, resulting in a 30% increase from the current Terra LUNA price.

Authorities are asking for the public’s help identifying a man who was involved in a fatal hit-and-run, Norfolk police said in a release Saturday afternoon.
At about 8:23 p.m. Friday, Norfolk police responded to a crash involving a pedestrian at the 2400 block of Tidewater Drive.
First responders found Karl H. Wilkerson, 36, with serious injuries. He was taken to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and pronounced dead, according to Norfolk police.
Norfolk police said an initial investigation found Wilkerson was walking on the sidewalk when a black sportscar drove off the roadway and struck Wilkerson and a tree. The suspect fled the scene with help from another motorist.
Those who recognize the man or have any information about the crash, should call the Norfolk Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP or submit a tip using the P3Tips mobile app.

Early summer is often remembered as one of life’s most exciting times and an eagerly anticipated rite of passage — graduation season. And whether this spring’s recent commencement ceremonies marked the accomplishment of a successful high school or college career, the emotions for students and their families are universal — hope, pride and joy at the promise of a bright, successful future.
Employers throughout the commonwealth also join together in congratulating and recognizing these recent graduates for their achievements, but their collective outlook for tomorrow is — unfortunately — not as sunny. That’s because regardless of how many of these recent high school graduates choose to enter the labor pool or how many new college graduates are available for recruitment, the facts clouding the employment horizon remain the same. Despite Virginia’s overall low unemployment, employers continue to face critical skills gaps that exist in numerous industries, and a widespread, chronic shortage of qualified candidates to recruit. Or so it seems.
What if, however, the real problem wasn’t a worker shortage, but rather an unintentional, widespread bias that excludes countless qualified (or easily and quickly qualified) candidates from even being considered? There is a deep labor pool that two-thirds of the nation’s population ages 25 and over are in, but many employers routinely overlook these candidates simply because they lack four-year college degrees. With that knowledge, maybe the problem isn’t a lack of qualified candidates but rather outdated, homogenized job qualifications that require a four-year degree while neglecting to consider other life experiences that often produce equally well-prepared candidates.
Granted, there are many careers for which a four-year degree, or more, is an absolute necessity. Countless positions, however, would be better served and filled quicker by also considering candidates who are STARs — Skilled Through Alternative Routes.
There are a lot of them, they’re ready to work, and they’re already experienced through volunteering, internships, military service, community college, trade school and having actually worked on the job. As employers, it’s in our best interest to take a hard look at these candidates, and at the same time our job descriptions and hiring practices to determine whether we’re routinely and mistakenly valuing education over experience for many positions.
The Virginia Ready Initiative (VA Ready) is a business-led partnership helping Virginians rapidly gain new skills through credential programs for in-demand jobs in high-growth industries. We partner with employers to find the right people, train them quickly and get them into the workforce. Together with more than 20 of Virginia’s best and brightest companies, we joined forces with the Virginia Community College System as our education partner and Virginia’s FastForward Workforce Credential Grant Program to provide free or low-cost credential training for in-demand occupations in the continually growing technology, health care and skilled trades fields.
In less than two years, we’ve enrolled more than 4,000 students and workers in 34 credential programs. More than 2,000 of them have completed their training and are finding jobs. Together with some of Virginia’s top employers, VA Ready is providing access to a supply of qualified, skilled talent, shaping talent development and helping businesses discuss and share valuable ideas on how to find and hire the best talent in a tight labor market.
We encourage Virginia businesses looking for skilled talent to join us and our growing community of leaders as partners to strengthen Virginia’s commitment to recruiting, developing, and inspiring tomorrow’s workforce today.
Natalie Foster, of Richmond, is the executive director of the Virginia Ready Initiative, a business-led partnership working to rapidly reskill Virginians for in-demand jobs.

Point Township, Pa. — Thousands of pedestrians took advantage of the beautiful weather Saturday to get an up-close look at the new northern section of the Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation (CSVT) project.
PennDOT opened the newly-completed section of the highway to walkers, bicyclists, and skateboarders from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a one-time event ahead of the road's projected July opening to vehicle traffic.
Kim Smith, press safety officer at PennDOT District 3, said people started lining up at the entrance at Ridge Road before 9 a.m. Saturday. By 11:15 a.m., 1,700 people had come through and the lines of vehicles waiting to get in were not easing up.
PennDOT officials had anticipated around 1,000 attendees, but the crowd Saturday exceeded their expectations. "We knew it would be a popular event, with the weather being nice and not raining," Smith said.
One of the first people to arrive at the event was a couple from Tennessee, Smith said. "They were originally from Millville, but they are in Tennessee now and drove up just for this event," Smith said.
Matt Beck, assistant plans engineer at PennDOT, said the CSVT project is "decades in the making," referencing the previous Bypass project that started near Selinsgrove and stalled due to lack of funding in 1978.
The bridge is 200-feet high at its highest elevation point. The highest piers that support the bridge are at 180 feet, Beck said. The bridge, which is part of the northern section of the CSVT project, will open to traffic in early July. Initially, one lane will be open in each direction at the northern end. This is because the southbound lanes in that area need to be constructed, Beck said.
Janelle Remphrey, 30, of Selinsgrove, was one of the walkers on the bridge early Saturday afternoon. "I've been looking forward to this bridge being open for a long time," Remphrey said. Remphrey used to commute on Route 15 to Lewisburg from Selinsgrove every day for work. The CSVT will connect Route 15 in Winfield, just south of Lewisburg, to Route 147 near Montandon. She noted how different the sites are when walking the bridge as opposed to driving on 15. "It's a different perspective," Remphrey said.
Dolores Patton, of Northumberland, was walking on the northbound side of the bridge showing the sites to a friend. Patton stood near the railing of the bridge as she pointed out a campground in Winfield to her friend. "I think it's great, and I can't wait until it gets open," Patton said.
For more information about the CSVT, visit the project's website.

I welcomed your Tuesday editorial “Another overdose record,” which cited the recent grim announcement that drug overdose deaths in the United States topped 100,000 for the first time last year. The editorial brought timely and relevant attention to our nation’s tragic, decades-long journey with opioid addiction.
For many people, opioid dependency begins with the abuse or misuse of prescription painkillers such as OxyContin. For some, that addiction leads to heroin use and other drug-related crimes, and this tragedy has been further compounded by the wave of overdoses we see today that are linked to the synthetic opiate fentanyl.
Between 2007 and 2021, more than 14,500 Virginians died from opioid overdoses — and 401 of those fatal overdoses occurred in Chesapeake. Nearly 10,000 people were treated for opioid-related overdoses in Virginia hospital emergency rooms in 2020 — a 33% increase over the prior year. To put it bluntly, we have not turned the corner yet.
I have worked in the behavioral health, substance use, and developmental disabilities field for more than 35 years, and I have had the privilege of leading Chesapeake Integrated Behavioral Healthcare (CIBH) as the executive director since January. Previously, I was the care coordination programs director at CIBH for more than six years. I believe Virginia has reached an important inflection point in our combined efforts over many years to improve prevention, treatment and recovery support services for people with substance use disorders.
In the coming weeks, the commonwealth and each of its 133 cities and counties will begin to receive initial payments from a $530 million settlement with three pharmaceutical distributors and the opioid manufacturer Janssen for those companies’ role in prolonging the opioid crisis. Chesapeake stands to receive more than $4 million in the multiyear settlement, and the city has committed to spend a substantial portion of these settlement dollars on opioid abuse prevention, treatment and recovery services.
Under an agreement reached last year between the state and every one of its 133 cities and counties, a substantial portion of opioid settlement funds will be allocated to local governments. More than half will be administered by the new Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority, which was established in state law last year to supplement local efforts and to incentivize regional collaborations that will effectively address opioid addiction.
Future settlements are expected from other pharmaceutical companies, distributors and others who bear some responsibility for fueling the opioid epidemic, and those settlement dollars are expected to be allocated in the same way.
Viewpoints
It is entirely appropriate that a significant portion of these settlement dollars will be directed to the local level. For more than two decades, Chesapeake has had to allocate substantial taxpayer dollars, resources, staff, energy and time to address the damage the opioid scourge has left in its wake.
Our first responders, courts, jails, social workers, schools, intervention programs and clinics have all been impacted. In fact, it’s fair to say nearly every aspect of Chesapeake’s city budget has been significantly and negatively impacted for several years by the ongoing opioid crisis.
As a behavioral health professional, I know this to be a fact: Addiction is not a choice or a failure of will. It’s a disease process. And services must be accessible at the moment an individual is finally ready to reach out for help.
Successful treatment and recovery require a comprehensive approach, by a host of community partners, to provide wrap-around services and support to help people break the cycle of addiction. I am encouraged that these collaborative efforts are about to receive a meaningful infusion of renewed attention and financial support.
Our state and local leaders have been smart to work together to create a responsible and transparent process for allocating opioid settlement funds. This presents us with a remarkable opportunity to build and support evidence-based initiatives and programs at the local and regional levels, where these new resources can do the most good in our communities.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with substance use disorder, help is available. CIBH provides a variety of assessment, treatment, and prevention services to the citizens of Chesapeake.
Ed Gonzalez, M.Ed., QMHP-A, QDDP, is executive director of Chesapeake Integrated Behavioral Healthcare.

Williamsport, Pa. — The Williamsport City council voted to approve the transfer of employee contracts, vehicle titles, and transit money from the city to the newly-formed River Valley Transit Authority.
All three resolutions were passed unanimously with a 5-0 vote. All will become effective July 1.
This is one of the final steps in the ongoing process to separate River Valley Transit from Williamsport. This process has taken place during the ongoing investigation into RVT from the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office.
The investigation has left lingering issues about employee pensions and property during the separation, according to RVTA General Manger Adam Winder. Those issues will be sorted out once the AG's office completes their audit, Winder noted.
Property that will go with RVTA includes Trade and Transit I and II, as well as the bus depot. Final property issues are expected to be sorted out by spring of 2023, with pensions being dealt with fall of this year.
Williamsport's government currently operates out of the Trade and Transit buildings. They have a rental agreement in place with RVTA that will allow them to operate from that location until a decision is made about City Hall or a new location is found.
All dollars being transferred to RVTA were monies the city received because of River Valley Transit and transit oversight, Winder explained. This is the same for vehicles, which were mostly buses.
Grant money from PennDOT is also being transferred over to RVTA, Winder said.
Other news
In other news, city council agreed the owners of Pine Square, Tony Ecker and his wife, Katie, can submit an application for a $1 million Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant.
If the grant is received, Ecker said, that plan is to use the money to complete projects that are 10 years in the making.
These projects include making a new stage area for live performances and redesigning the patio area.
Tony and Katie Ecker are now the sole owners of Pine Square.

On June 16, the world celebrated International Domestic Workers Day, commemorating the 11th anniversary of the Domestic Workers Convention (No.189), which established international labor protections for domestic workers. Since the treaty was adopted in 2011, domestic workers have gained legal protections in more than 30 countries, ensuring common workplace rights such as a minimum wage, rest days and paid holidays.
Unfortunately, the United States is not one of them.
In the United States, there are more than 2 million domestic workers — mostly Black, Latinx and immigrant women — who provide care for our homes and children, seniors and disabled persons. They improve the quality of life for millions, make other people’s work possible, and keep the economy moving; yet for systemic reasons, stemming from racial and gendered divisions of labor rooted in slavery, domestic workers remain devalued.
Domestic workers are excluded from American labor laws by design. Congress left out domestic workers from the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to appease white Southern lawmakers who wanted to maintain free and cheap labor, provided primarily by women of color. To this day, this country does not guarantee a minimum wage or overtime pay to these essential workers. To keep these Jim Crow laws on the books is to support racist policies and reinforce workplace oppression.
This work is personal. We come from families of care workers who did not have the protections they deserved. That’s why we’re pushing back against that painful and too-often ignored history. Last year, Care in Action worked with domestic workers and sponsors Del. Cia Price, Del. Wendy Gooditis, and state Sen. Jennifer McClellan to pass a Virginia Domestic Workers Bill of Rights. This historic legislation extends common workplace rights to house cleaners, health care aides and nannies. Virginia is the first state in the South to codify protections for these workers and finally turn the page on this ugly chapter from our past.
While passage of these laws is essential and long overdue, we can’t help but wonder: How long will it take for the rest of the country to catch up? Progress doesn’t have to be a painful, drawn-out process. Swift federal action can protect all workers across the nation.
Instead of piecemeal solutions enacted state by state, Congress can pass a National Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights. Now is the time for Virginia’s congressional delegation to build on the momentum at the state level and establish vital protections for millions of domestic workers.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, domestic worker occupations are the fastest-growing workforce and will grow more than three times the rate of other occupations in the next decade. Despite these numbers, domestic workers are also three times more likely to live in poverty than other workers. From 2010 to 2020, jobs in home health and personal care aides grew 64% in Virginia, and yet these essential workers earn an average of $10.14 an hour and have an average annual income of only $16,500.
Even though the domestic workforce is growing and meeting the very real needs of families, the United States is not doing nearly enough to invest in our care infrastructure. These workers deserve a living wage, paid sick and family leave, rest breaks, safe work environments, and a strong commitment from Congress.
It’s unethical and exploitative for the United States — a global economic leader — to continue excluding domestic workers from basic federal labor laws. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris support expanding rights to domestic workers and ensuring “domestic workers have a voice in the workplace.” Democratic majorities in Congress should pass a bill to finally right this historic wrong.
Del. Cia Price, D-Newport News, is the chief patron of the House version of Virginia’s Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights. Alexsis Rodgers is organizing director of Care in Action, a policy and advocacy organization for domestic workers.

Williamsport, Pa. —A strong odor of marijuana could be detected as state police troopers spoke with the driver a vehicle with heavy window tint, according to an affidavit.
Dominique Adams-Coffey, 31, of Williamsport consented to a search when troopers pulled him over on June 16 near Market Street. Trooper Logan Webb discovered several packages of marijuana on the passenger’s seat with various labels along with an expired medical marijuana card.
A background check showed Adams-Coffey was convicted of possession with intent to deliver in 2012 and 2016 and possession of drug paraphernalia in 2021. Along with the marijuana, Webb said they located four cell phones during the search.
Troopers said 11 different packages of the substance were discovered as they inspected Adams-Coffey’s vehicle. Webb said 10 of the packages contained three grams each. One container had a single gram inside of it.
Adams-Coffey was detained to the Lycoming County Prison on $99,000 bond after being charged with felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. He was also charged with marijuana possession and use or possession of drug paraphernalia.

In a 6-3 ruling handed down on Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed what a draft opinion leaked in May suggested it would do: overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade decision which effectively protected a woman’s right to an abortion.
This is dark day for the nation and countless women will die as a result of this decision. While Virginians can be thankful the commonwealth does not have severe abortion restrictions that would today imperil the lives of women here, they must fiercely defend against further infringement on reproductive freedom.
The leaked draft opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito indicated not simply that the court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization would uphold Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, but that a majority supported overturning Roe and the 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
There was hope, however fleeting, that the court could issue a less thorough repudiation of Roe and Casey. On Friday, however, that hope was dashed as six justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, signed on to the majority opinion erasing 50 years of precedent.
Some 61% of Americans support a legal right to abortion but the decision effectively returns decisions about abortion regulations to the states, which means Americans living in different parts of the country will now face vastly different obstacles to receive the reproductive care that was once their constitutional right.
Twenty-six states have trigger laws or other statutes set to take effect in the absence of the legal protections established under Roe. That means millions of women no longer have access to safe and legal abortion procedures as of Friday or will lose that access in the coming days.
Nine states have adopted constitutional measures or other laws that protect the right to elective abortion and 12 states allow women to choose that medical procedure with some restrictions. Expect to see women who need abortions and have the means to travel to these states for care, as their mothers and grandmothers did in a pre-Roe world.
And then there’s Virginia. The commonwealth exists in a sort-of limbo with New Hampshire and New Mexico in having no constitutional right to abortion but no restrictions which take effect now that the court has overturned Roe.
Viewpoints
That means abortion remains legal and accessible here — for now — due to determined activism that blocked severe restrictions intended to punish women who seek reproductive care and the medical professionals who provide it.
In 2011, the legislature approved a bill empowering the state Board of Health to regulate abortion clinics as hospitals rather than doctor’s offices, something known as a Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers, or TRAP, law. It was an attempt to force clinics to close and make it near impossible to obtain an abortion.
Only national ridicule in 2012 caused Republican lawmakers to modify a bill that would have required women to endure an invasive transvaginal ultrasound in order to access abortion services. A revised measure passed the legislature and was signed by Gov. Robert McDonnell.
And there have been efforts over the years — and as recently as February — to pass laws that would restrict abortion in most cases to 20 weeks after pregnancy. The most recent attempt was thwarted by the slim Democratic majority in the Senate.
The court’s ruling in Dobbs will serve to embolden anti-abortion advocates in the commonwealth. Shortly after the ruling, Gov. Glenn Youngkin called for a Mississippi-style, 15-week ban and tasked four Republican lawmakers with drawing up restrictive legislation.
That makes clear Virginians must mount a vigorous defense to protect the right of women here to access safe reproductive care as they and their doctors see fit. Given a Senate majority in the next election, Republicans will add the commonwealth to the list of states where it is difficult or impossible to obtain abortion services.
The Supreme Court will no longer protect those rights. Virginians must do it themselves.

The ‘big lie’
The current political crisis in our country drives home the fact that our nation’s founders were on target in calling their venture an experiment. Because a republic such as ours puts the ultimate political power in the hands of the people, it demands a high degree of political literacy that by no means is guaranteed. The voting public has to be well-informed, able to distinguish fact from fiction.
If ever there was a time in our nation’s history when this truth has been demonstrated most dramatically, it is now. What we are calling the “big lie” has captured the minds and hearts of millions of people, creating a profound rupture in our public life second only to the Civil War. It is revitalizing a rising power that has always been on the fringes of society but is now entering the mainstream by threatening control of one of our political parties. It is called “white supremacy,” a chilling reminder that the most threatening issue in our country continues to be the plague of racism.
The Southern Poverty Law Center recently identified the organizations in Virginia that espouse an anti-government stance or are identified as “hate groups.” The number is close to 20.
From radio, TV and social media we are bombarded by right-wing messages that sow division throughout our society. The time is now for white citizens to recognize that a truly diverse nation requires an empowering vision of our common humanity, which is able to resist and contain the destructive nature of racist thinking.

‘Biblical perspective’
Re “At Hampton conference, Virginia Methodists must confront change” (Other Views, June 15): The author addresses two related issues in his column: first, the procrastination of the United Methodist Church to vote on and resolve the current issues of clergy sexual orientation, and second, change in the doctrine of the UMC.
I found it somewhat incredible that the district delegate completely avoids the biggest elephant in the room — that of any Biblical perspective. He is correct — change is never easy. The church has stumbled in coming to a decision on this issue, highlighted by delaying the General Conference until 2024. The author goes on to say that Methodists can no longer avoid change and quotes the church’s motto.
Author and pastor Tony Evans stated that we are allowing society to redefine church standards and we are focusing on making people “comfortable with their own standards,” according to faithgateway.com. Evangelist and teacher Oswald Chambers stated, “The reason salvation is so easy to obtain is that it cost God so much,” according to inspiringquotes.us. But living out our salvation is difficult because the nature of everything around us is causing us to be unfaithful.
The Word of God is immutable. In Paul’s second letter to Timothy, he says, “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.” Evans puts a period to this: “In creating our own rules and parameters, we insult God.”

Morning gunfire
Re “Norfolk officers fatally shot man in exchange of gunfire while attempting arrest, police say” (June 21): Tuesday morning in Larchmont I woke to the sound of gunfire. My brave wife went to the window. I pulled a blanket over my head. I recalled a Rudyard Kipling line. A British soldier under fire watching “kickin’ dust-spots on the green.” He lie low waiting for Gunga Din.
I listened for the “puck-puck” sounds that bullets make when hitting sheetrock over your head; I was ready to climb under my the bed — scared sheep. Thank goodness for Norfolk police. They came. They handled everything. I went back to sleep.

Free transit
Lowering the cost of all Hampton Roads Transit services (such as making The Tide light rail and ferry free) will help many people with the cost of gas, and help us all adjust to public transportation that is obviously the way of the future. The tax revenue generated by increased economic activity will likely more than pay for the lowered cost.

Nicely done
It was a delightful experience to attend Maury High School’s commencement exercises June 13 at Chartway Arena. From the presentation of the colors, salutatory and valedictory speeches, presentation of diplomas to about 350 graduates, and finally the recessional. The ceremony was both traditional and fast-paced with faculty and dignitaries in academic regalia and student musicians providing a prelude.
The graduates were great, dignified, but also having a good time. What a great event. Kudos to Norfolk Public Schools.

Teach them
Re “Look both ways” (Your Views, June 21): Over here in Portsmouth, we take a proactive approach to pedestrian safety by bringing our public school kids to Safety Town in the elementary grades. Each spring we bring kindergarteners and first graders out to our facility on Deep Creek Boulevard for pedestrian safety, stranger danger and gun safety (age-appropriate). In the fall, we welcome third graders for bicycle safety. During COVID-19 when we were shut down, our streets, sidewalks and miniature town were upgraded.
For more information contact the Portsmouth public information officer.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin bested her own world record in the 400-meter hurdles at the U.S. outdoor track and field championships Saturday.
McLaughlin flashed a broad smile when her time was announced, then gave a thumbs-up. She crossed the finish line in 51.41 seconds, breaking her own record of 51.46 set last year at the Tokyo Games, where she won the gold medal.
She said she had no idea what to expect as she cleared the last hurdle.
“I was just gonna finish the race. You know anything is possible," she said. “I'm just really grateful for it.”
The top three finishers in each event at the national championships will represent the United States in the world outdoor championships, also at Eugene's Hayward Field, next month. It is the first time that track and field's biggest event outside of the Olympics will be held on American soil.
Allyson Felix, the most decorated woman in track history, finished sixth in the 400, in what was her final national championship race.
Felix, who announced in April that this will be her final season, is enjoying the final days of her illustrious career — which includes 11 Olympic medals. She plans to run her final official race in her native Los Angeles in August. Despite her finish, Felix will is expected make the mixed relay team at worlds.
NCAA champion Talitha Diggs of Florida won the 400 in 50.22 seconds. Dalilah Muhammad sat out of the race because of a slight injury, but she has already qualified for the world championships as the defending champion in the event.
"It was a great field. So just wanted to make sure to maintain my form, engage my core and just push,” Diggs said.
Asked if she was disappointed with the finish, Felix laughed.
“Honestly no. You guys know the 400 is hard for me. It's not my natural passion, it's always just been something I challenged myself with,” she said.
Michael Norman ran the men's 400 in a world-leading 43.56. He finished first at the Olympic trials last year and went on to place fifth in Tokyo.
World record holder Keni Harrison won the women's 100 hurdles in 12:34.
Temperatures at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus soared to the low 90s. Events for Sunday, the meet's final day, were moved up earlier in the day because of the heat.
Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson made it through to the 200 final on Sunday by finishing second in her heat.
Richardson, known for her ever-changing hair color and long nails, did not qualify for the 100 final, even though she was among the favorites after winning the event at the Olympic trials last year. Richardson did not make the U.S. team for Tokyo after she tested positive for marijuana following the race.
Richardson's heat was marked by several late scratches, but she finished in 22.69 seconds. Kentucky’s Abby Steiner, who set a collegiate record in the 200 meters at the NCAA track and field championships, had the best time in the heats at 22.14.
American record holder Kara Winger won the javelin with a throw of 210 feet, 10 inches, her ninth career national title in the event. Sinclaire Johnson, the 2019 NCAA champion, won the 1,500 meters in 4:03.29.
On the men's side Cooper Teare finished first in 3:45.86. Teare is also entered in the 5,000 on Sunday, the final day of the meet. Olympic silver medalist Chris Nilsen won the pole vault. Hillary Bor won the steeplechase by such a wide margin he pointed to the stands in celebration down the stretch.

CLEVELAND — Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's disciplinary hearing with the NFL and the NFL Player's Association is slated to start Tuesday, a league source confirmed with Scripps station WEWS.
Source confirms #Browns QB Deshaun Watson's hearing with the NFL's disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson is set to begin Tuesday.
— Camryn Justice (@camijustice) June 25, 2022
Sue L. Robinson was selected by the two organizations to represent jointly and after investigating Watson about the allegations, will begin presenting the information on June 28.
Robinson will then listen to both sides as the NFL is likely to suggest a "lengthy" suspension for Watson; meanwhile, the NFLPA is to defend the quarterback who recently settled 20 of 24 lawsuits against him.
After settling those lawsuits, the NFL clarified that Watson settling the cases would have "no impact on the collectively bargained disciplinary process."
However, according to an ESPN report, the NFL is likely to base the suspension time frame on a fraction of those women's lawsuits.
There is no timeline for a decision to be made, but with the hearings beginning, the process is nearing finality.
Robinson has no record of ruling on cases associated with the NFL and is a former member of Delaware's district court as the first woman to sit on the bench. She also served on the Judicial Conference of the United States.
This article was written by Claire Geary for WEWS.

NORWALK, Ohio (AP) — Ron Capps took the No. 1 position in Funny Car qualifying at Summit Racing Equipment Motorsports Park for the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.
The defending series champion coming off a victory last week at Bristol, Tennessee, Capps had a run of 3.901 seconds at 328.38 mph Friday in his Toyota GR Supra that stood up Saturday.
“It was a great job by our team,” Capps said. “We’re going to have cloud cover tomorrow and it’s going to be fast, and you’re going to see a lot of great side-by-side racing. To get that No. 1, these are so hard to get. It’s going to be a dogfight tomorrow and a lot of fun, and we’re looking forward to it.”
Brittany Force took the top spot in Top Fuel, Erica Enders in Pro Stock and Eddie Krawiec in Pro Stock Motorcycle. Force had a track-record run of 3.666 at 333.08 on Friday. Enders ran a 6.537 at 210.11 in a Camaro on Friday, and Krawiec rode to his 50th career No. 1 on Saturday with a 6.798 at 199.05 on a Suzuki.

There were shocks in the sprint events at the UK Athletics Championships, as Dina Asher-Smith was beaten by Daryll Neita and Jeremiah Azu blitzed Rhys Prescod and Zharnel Hughes.
Asher-Smith arrived in Manchester as the favourite for the women’s 100m, and looking to exorcise the demons of 12 months ago when she picked up an injury.
Ad
But in blustery conditions, she saw Neita sail past her to record a victory in a time of 10.80.

Blake storms to Jamaican 100m title with fastest time in a decade
Asher-Smith, who recorded a wind-assisted time of 10.87, said: “I’m annoyed because I’d rather win.
“Fuming because I don’t like losing. But I said to her face that I’m very happy for her. She’s worked really hard and improved so much over the years.”
The positive for Asher-Smith is that she came through the race without incident and will have one more race before heading out to Oregon for the World Championships.
- Blake storms to Jamaican title with fastest time in a decade
- Prescod bans junk food and video games for Worlds push
Prescod was the favourite for the men’s 100m, but he was beaten into second by Azu who posted a time of 9.90 seconds, albeit wind assisted.
“All year I’ve been saying it,” Azu said. “I knew I was going to do it, but I still can’t believe it.
"It’s just the beginning, I’m 21 and I’m looking to change sprinting in Britain forever.”
The one negative for Azu was his time was not legal due to the wind, meaning his personal best of 10.16 is currently outside the qualifying figure for the World Championships.
Jake Wightman won the 1500m in a tight finish from Neil Gourlay and Josh Kerr.
“I’m just so pleased to get it done and now I can look forward to Oregon,” Wightman said. “That’s the main aim ticked off.”
It was far easier in the women’s 1500m, as Laura Muir powered away to set herself up nicely for the World Championships.
“It was all about coming through today and getting that world’s place and I’m happy I’ve done that,” Muir said.
There were thoughts of decades ago in the men’s decathlon as Elliot Thompson – son of Olympic great Daley Thompson – won with a points total of 7197.

Gareth Bale has agreed a shock switch to MLS Side LAFC, the player has seemingly announced on social media.
The Wales international became available on a free transfer following his release from Real Madrid, and had a number of options.
Ad
He said on international duty early in June that his desire was to secure regular playing time to get match sharp - with his focus being on the World Cup with Wales in Qatar in November and December.

Cardiff were strongly linked with a move for Bale, which would have enabled him to return to his Wales roots, but it appears LAFC have stepped in to sign the 32-year-old.
The club have not officially announced the move, but Bale sent a tweet that said: "See you soon, Los Angeles" while adorned with LAFC merchandise.
Bale has, according to reports, signed a one-year deal and will become an LAFC player early in July.
His first game could be against LA Galaxy on July 9, as he will already be match fit due to his involvement with Real and Wales.
Bale spent nine years with Real and won a series of honours, including three Liga titles and the Champions League on five occasions.
The MLS season fits in well with Bale’s World Cup plans, as the regular season runs until October - with the championship match at the end of the play-offs due to take place on November 5.
Wales kick off their World Cup campaign against the USA on November 21.

Xander Schauffele fought hard to retain a narrow lead at the Travelers Championship, as Rory McIlroy tumbled out of contention.
Schauffele was the standout player for the first two days at TPC River Highlands, but he did not have the brilliance of the first 36 holes on Saturday.
Ad
He went into the third day with a five-shot lead, but his playing partner on Saturday, Patrick Cantlay ate into the advantage to set up a shootout on Sunday.
Travelers Championship
McIlroy makes quadruple-bogey as he drops off leader Schauffele at Travelers
Schauffele went bogey-free for the opening two rounds and extended that to 48 holes, but after finding water on the 13th he finally gave a hole back to the course.
With Cantlay gobbling up six birdies in the first 15 holes, Schauffele was pegged back but he answered the call with a stunning birdie on 16.
The pair traded brilliant birdies on 17, and a 67 for Schauffele was enough for a one-stroke lead at 17-under over Cantlay who had the low round of the day - a 63.
The Travelers was the culmination of a busy month of action for McIlroy, and he appeared to run out of steam on moving day.
McIlroy was looking for a fast start, but a birdie putt on the first shaved the hole and he found trouble on the second. His drive hit a tree close to the tee and flew straight right into the fescue, and required two hacks to move the ball forward. His fourth shot was a stunner, but he was unable to make the putt and it resulted in a double bogey.
After a bogey on five, he rebounded with a run of three birdies to threaten a charge into contention. But further bogeys sent him back to six-under for the championship.
McIlroy will have another 18 holes before taking a couple of weeks out to recharge ahead of the Open in July.

Sahith Theegala surged into contention at 14-under following an excellent round of 64. Should the big guns fire blanks, he is the man in position to pounce.
Kevin Kisner carded a 66 on moving day to sit at 13-under, one shot in front of Scotland’s Martin Laird who also posted a 66.
Scottie Scheffler is probably too far back, but a round of 65 catapulted him up to 10-under. The world No.1’s aim for Sunday will be a fast start and catch the eye of the leaders. Pressure can do strange things.
Tony Finau carded his best round of the week, 65, to climb up to nine-under.

Serena Williams told a pre-tournament press conference that she took time out of the game to "heal physically and mentally".
Williams is aiming for an eighth Wimbledon singles title after making the shock announcement two weeks ago that she would be returning at the third major of the season.
Ad
The 40-year-old withdrew injured against Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the first round of last year’s Wimbledon, and in a pre-tournament press conference ahead of Wimbledon, the 23-time Grand Slam champion clarified that she never retired.

"I didn't retire,” said Williams. “I just needed to heal physically and mentally.”
Williams added that she had not specifically planned to return at Wimbledon, but that timings worked out well.
After confirming she was taking a Wimbledon wild card, she returned to court alongside Ons Jabeur in the doubles at the Eastbourne International. That venture would be cut short though ahead of the semi-finals owing to an injury to Jabeur.
“I had no plans to be honest,” added Williams.
“I just didn't know when I would come back. How I would come back. Wimbledon is such a great place to be and it just worked out."

Williams also said that she was rooting for Rafael Nadal, who heads to Wimbledon nursing a chronic foot injury, but gunning for a Calendar Slam
"He's done a lot in 2022,” said Williams of Nadal, who has won the Australian and French Opens this year.
“He's been busy. I've always been a Rafa fan. I named my dog after him. He's so cute. I miss the little guy.
“I am always rooting for Rafa. He's been really inspiring in everything he's done this year and he has a lot more to do."
Williams starts her Wimbledon campaign on Monday against Harmony Tan of France while Rafael Nadal will face Francisco Cerundolo on Tuesday.

Germany to deploy temporary foreign workers to ease staff shortage at German airports - Bild
The Interior, Labour and Transport ministries will start a joint campaign for brining temporary foreign employees to work at German airports, Bild said, adding that there was a shortage around 2,000 to 3,000 employees at the airports. The campaign aims to bring a four-digit number of skilled workers from Turkey to Germany, who could be deployed for a few months from July.
Germany will allow the entry of foreign workers to fill staff shortages at the German airports as a temporary solution, Bild am Sonntag reported on Sunday, citing the interior, transport and labour ministers. Airport operators across Europe, including Germany, have been struggling with staff shortages to handle the flow of passengers as demand for travel bounces back with the end of most COVID-19 restrictions.
Photos of travellers waiting in long lines at security check points at Duesseldorf airport earlier this week showed the scale of the shortage which has caused chaos during the holiday season. The Interior, Labour and Transport ministries will start a joint campaign for brining temporary foreign employees to work at German airports, Bild said, adding that there was a shortage around 2,000 to 3,000 employees at the airports.
The campaign aims to bring a four-digit number of skilled workers from Turkey to Germany, who could be deployed for a few months from July. Labour Minister Hubertus Heil said employers must pay collective wages and provide decent accommodation for a limited time.
"We want to rule out any form of social dumping and exploitation," Heil was quoted as saying by Bild.

G7 considering ways of capping Russian oil price - German official
Leaders of the Group of Seven rich democracies are having "very constructive" discussions on a possible cap on Russian oil imports, a German government official said on Saturday shortly before the start of the annual three-day G7 summit. The proposal is part of broader G7 discussions on how to further crank up the pressure on the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine without stoking global inflationary pressures.
Leaders of the Group of Seven rich democracies are having "very constructive" discussions on a possible cap on Russian oil imports, a German government official said on Saturday shortly before the start of the annual three-day G7 summit.
The proposal is part of broader G7 discussions on how to further crank up the pressure on the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine without stoking global inflationary pressures. The Ukraine war, energy and food shortages and the darkening global economic outlook are expected to dominate the agenda of the summit that is taking place this year in Schloss Elmau, an alpine castle resort in southern Germany.
The United States, Canada and Britain have already banned imports of Russian oil while European Union leaders have agreed an embargo that will take full effect by end-2022 as part of sanctions on the Kremlin over its invasion of Ukraine. With energy prices soaring though, the West fears such embargoes will not actually put a dent in Russia's war chest as the country earns more from exports even as volumes fall.
A price cap could solve that dilemma, while also avoiding further restricting oil supply and fueling inflation, officials say, but for it to work, it requires buy-in from heavy importers like India and China. "We are on a good path to reach an agreement," the official said.
The official said the G7 was also discussing the need to combine ambitious climate goals with the need for some countries to explore new gas fields as Europe rushed to wean itself off Russian gas imports.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is headed to the G7 in Germany Saturday without a consensus from the Commonwealth to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but with a chorus of countries calling for help to overcome the fallout of the war.
Trudeau and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly arrived in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, on Wednesday for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting, which has been dominated by the concerns of nations that are suffering from food scarcity.
In the final communique from the summit, the 54 Commonwealth countries said they discussed the conflict in Ukraine, " underscored the need to respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states," and " emphasized that all countries must seek peaceful resolution to all disputes in accordance with international law."
The countries stopped short of condemning Russia, as Trudeau and United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson have done throughout the summit.
"I can assure you that the topic of standing up for Ukraine was much discussed," Trudeau said at a press conference following the conclusion of the summit, referencing "strong language" in the communique.
Most Commonwealth Nations condemned Russia's actions at a United Nations vote in March, but 10 abstained. Among them is India, whose Prime Minister Narendra Modi opted not to attend the Commonwealth summit and instead spoke virtually with the leaders of Russia, China, Brazil and South Africa.
Trudeau said Russian President Vladimir Putin has run a disinformation campaign and has even been "telling outright lies," including blaming the food security crisis on Western sanctions against Russia.
He said food shortage stems from Russia's illegal actions, including blockade at key ports, as well as the deliberate targeting of Ukrainian grain storage facilities through cruise missile strikes.
"I was very clear with our friends and partners around the table, and not just clear on Russia's responsibility, but on how Canada and the West are stepping up," Trudeau said.
Canada will be raising the growing threat of famine at the G7 in Schloss Elmau Germany, Joly said.
She said Canada was in "listening mode" at the Commonwealth meetings, where leaders of smaller nations were able to speak without the dominating presence of the United States, Russia and China.
"What is clear to us is that Russia is weaponizing food and putting a toll on many countries around the world, and putting 50 million lives at risk," Joly told reporters Friday in Rwanda.
Trudeau had attempted to meet with the chair of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, for several days during the Commonwealth summit but the sit-down was repeatedly postponed and eventually cancelled.
Shortly after Trudeau arrived in Rwanda, the government announced Canada would dedicate a new ambassador to the African Union, which has suffered from the food shortages inflicted on the continent as a result of the warin Ukraine.
Both Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Putin have met with representatives of the African Union, with Russia blaming sanctions against its government for stopping the flow of grain.
At the conclusion of the Commonwealth summit, Trudeau announced $94 million in funding for various education initiatives and $120 million to support gender equality and women's rights in Commonwealth countries.
Some of the other voices the prime minister has promised to centre at his international meetings, including the G7 summit, belong to youth leaders who spoke at a Saturday-morning event focused on issues facing young people around the world.
Some of the delegates spoke about the devastating effects of climate change, particularly around remote island nations where infrastructure cannot withstand natural disasters and rebuilding efforts take years. The onslaught takes a toll on education and health services, one delegate told the forum.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2022.

Every Monday, Mark Powell drives to the Burlington, Ont., pork plant where his wife died to give water to pigs on their way to slaughter.
It's what Regan Russelldid every week, until one day in June 2020 when a transport truck driver drove over her and killed her.
Police charged the driver with careless driving causing death - a non-criminal provincial offence - because investigators said he did not have criminal intent.
Two years later, with the case languishing in court and no trial date yet set, Powell says he has lost faith in the probe and is turning to civil court to try to get answers about his wife's death.
“I want to know what happened to my person,” Powell said.
Last week, he filed a $5-million lawsuit over her death. The truck driver, Andrew Blake, the trucking company, Brussels Transport, and Sofina Foods, the company that owns Fearmans Pork processing plant, are among those named in the suit.
The unproven claim alleges negligence on their parts led to the death of Russell.
The claim alleges the driver failed to keep a proper lookout and made an unsafe and improper turn. It also alleges Brussels Transport failed to take steps to ensure the driver was competent and that Sofina failed to provide safety for pedestrians around Fearmans.
“Given that this matter is currently before the courts, we are not able to make a comment at this time other than to say that the allegations contained in the statement of claim against Sofina are unproven and Sofina will vigorously defend this matter,” Sofina said in an email.
Neither the truck driver's lawyer, nor Brussels Transport, responded to requests for comment.
Russell, a 65-year-old activist, was demonstrating outside the slaughterhouse westof Toronto, on June 19, 2020, as she had done every week for years. She and some friends, as part of the activist groupToronto Pig Save, protested controversial provincial legislation that had just passed that hiked fines for trespassing on farms and food-processing facilities.
The bill also made it illegal to obstruct trucks carrying farm animals. The bill appeared, in part, to target Toronto Pig Save, whose advocates for years had filmed and given water to pigs inside transport trucks as they neared slaughter. They call it “bearing witness.”
Since his wife's death, Powell has lived with anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
He wasn't there at the time, but Russell's friends have described how she died under a wheel of the truck. He's seen video of the aftermath.
“I see it every night when my head hits the pillow,” he said.
His friends wonder how he copes.
“I've had some practice,” he said, his voice trailing off.
In 2014, Powell lost his 29-year-old son, Zachary. He can still see the paramedics pounding on his boy's chest as he was wheeled on a gurney into an ambulance. Zachary's heart had given out.
Powell is using the strength of his family to move forward after the losses.
He credits his other son, Joshua, for holding him up when he was down, and helping him pick up the decades-long animal rights fight his wife undertook.
Last week on Father's Day, he and Joshua donated a bench at an animal sanctuary north of Toronto to honour Russell. It reminds Powell of a bench in Zachary's name in a Hamilton park.
He and Joshua have also launched the Regan Russell Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to keeping her voice alive by funding and supporting the battle against the bill she had been fighting.
The foundation is trying to intervene in a constitutional challenge to the laws by Animal Justice.
“It gives us a vehicle to fight bad legislation,” he said.
“I have hope and strength, hope that something like that foundation puts a voice for animals on the floor of government and strength knowing that Regan's voice is being heard.”
Every week, activists gather to protest outside Fearmans Pork. But now they stand on the median where the trucks stop at the lights - away from the spot where Russell died - to give water to the pigs.
“I will always honour her and I will stand for what she stood for until I die,” Powell said.

French energy companies call for 'immediately' limiting energy use
Individual consumers and companies need to "immediately" limit their energy consumption in order to be better equipped this winter to deal with a looming energy crisis, the heads of French energy giants Engie , EDF and TotalEnergies said in the French weekly paper Journal du Dimanche on Sunday.
"We need to collectively work to reduce our consumption in order to regain a margin of maneuver," the companies said in an open letter, citing sharp declines in Russian gas shipments as well as limited European electricity production due to maintenance issues.
"Taking action as soon as this summer will allow us to be better prepared at the start of next winter, notably for preserving our gas reserves," they said.

Catcher Zack Collins was recalled by the Toronto Blue Jays from their triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, N.Y., on Saturday.
Infielder Otto Lopez was optioned to Buffalo in a corresponding move.
Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk went 4 for 4 and homered for the third straight game in Toronto's 9-4 win in Milwaukee on Friday before leaving with a bruised left hand in the seventh inning.
Kirk appeared to get hit in the hand on a backswing from Jonathan Davis in the seventh.
The catcher remained in the game for the rest of that at-bat before leaving at the same time the Blue Jays made a pitching change.
The team said Kirk underwent precautionary X-rays that came back negative.
Kirk is the early leader in American League all-star voting. He's hitting .321 with nine home runs and 28 runs batted in this season.
Collins was acquired by the Blue Jays in a pre-season trade. He has a .212 average with four home runs in 22 games with Toronto this year.

Ecuador gov't, indigenous leaders hold first talks amid protests
Ecuador's government and indigenous leaders met on Saturday for the first formal talks since mass protests began in the country two weeks ago, legislature head Virgilio Saquicela said. The sometimes-violent demonstrations, which broke out on June 13 driven by indigenous calls for lower fuel and food prices, among other demands, have led to at least six civilian deaths and multiple attacks on security forces.
Ecuador's government and indigenous leaders met on Saturday for the first formal talks since mass protests began in the country two weeks ago, legislature head Virgilio Saquicela said.
The sometimes-violent demonstrations, which broke out on June 13 driven by indigenous calls for lower fuel and food prices, among other demands, have led to at least six civilian deaths and multiple attacks on security forces. The protests have worsened President Guillermo Lasso's already-adversarial relationship with the national assembly, where lawmakers have blocked his major economic proposals as he has struggled to contain rising violence he blames on drug gangs.
The assembly was set to meet on Saturday evening at the request of some opposition lawmakers to debate Lasso's removal from office, though the group does not appear to have the votes it would need to approve such a measure. Despite some government concessions, including subsidized fertilizers, debt forgiveness and budget increases for health and education, formal talks between Lasso's administration and protesters, led by indigenous group CONAIE, had been stalled for days even as confrontations at marches continued.
"This dialogue has begun, but there haven't been any commitments," Saquicela told journalists. "We as the assembly have asked ... for tensions to be lowered, for fewer confrontations while a solution is found." CONAIE leader Leonidas Iza and several government ministers attended, Saquicela added.
Iza said indigenous groups would partially open roads blocked during protests to allow food into the capital, where residents have complained of low supplies, but would remain in Quito until they get a satisfactory answer from Lasso. "We are not going to leave the spilled blood of our brothers here. We came with a purpose," Iza told demonstrators.
Security forces have said they could use rubber pellets to quell violence and that marches have been infiltrated by criminals using firearms. Indigenous groups have demanded a halt to oil and mining projects and demonstrators have entered flower farms and oil fields, with some facilities reporting damage to equipment.
The oil industry has failed to produce 1 million barrels of crude, the energy ministry said on Saturday, a loss of some $96 million. The Mirador copper mine also said it has halted operations because road closures have stopped necessary supplies.

The Toronto Blue Jays have altered the design of an upcoming special edition Fourth of July ballcap.
All 30 Major League Baseball teams were originally scheduled to wear special hats decorated with American emblems to celebrate Independence Day in the United States.
But when previews of the caps came out, fans of the Blue Jays voiced their displeasure at Canada's only MLB team wearing star-spangled hats.
A spokesman for the Blue Jays says that as Canada is a distinct market the club has worked with MLB and New Era, the hats' manufacturer, to create a uniquely designed cap for Fourth of July festivities that represents the diversity of Toronto and Canada.
The new cap is still predominantly red and white with blue stripes but the stars have been removed.
Toronto begins a three-game series in Oakland against the Athletics on July 4.
The Blue Jays will still wear their red uniforms on Canada Day as they host the Tampa Bay Rays in the second game of a rare five-game series.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2022.

WHO says monkeypox is not yet a health emergency
The "global emergency" label currently only applies to the coronavirus pandemic and ongoing efforts to eradicate polio, and the U.N. agency has stepped back from applying it to the monkeypox outbreak after advice from a meeting of international experts. There have been more than 3,200 confirmed cases of monkeypox and one death reported in the last six weeks from 48 countries where it does not usually spread, according to WHO.
Monkeypox is not yet a global health emergency, the World Health Organization (WHO) ruled on Saturday, although WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was deeply concerned about the outbreak.
"I am deeply concerned about the monkeypox outbreak, this is clearly an evolving health threat that my colleagues and I in the WHO Secretariat are following extremely closely," Tedros said. The "global emergency" label currently only applies to the coronavirus pandemic and ongoing efforts to eradicate polio, and the U.N. agency has stepped back from applying it to the monkeypox outbreak after advice from a meeting of international experts.
There have been more than 3,200 confirmed cases of monkeypox and one death reported in the last six weeks from 48 countries where it does not usually spread, according to WHO. So far this year almost 1,500 cases and 70 deaths in central Africa, where the disease is more common, have also been reported, chiefly in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Monkeypox, a viral illness causing flu-like symptoms and skin lesions, has been spreading largely in men who have sex with men outside the countries where it is endemic. It has two clades - the West African strain, which is believed to have a fatality rate of around 1% and which is the strain spreading in Europe and elsewhere, and the Congo Basin strain, which has a fatality rate closer to 10%, according to WHO.
There are vaccines and treatments available for monkeypox, although they are in limited supply. The WHO decision is likely to be met with some criticism from global health experts, who said ahead of the meeting that the outbreak met the criteria to be called an emergency.
However, others pointed out that the WHO is in a difficult position after COVID-19. Its January 2020 declaration that the new coronavirus represented a public health emergency was largely ignored by many governments until around six weeks later, when the agency used the word "pandemic" and countries took action.

MADRID (AP) - The number of people who were killed after they tried to scale a border fence between Morocco and a Spanish enclave in North Africa rose to 23 Saturday as human rights organizations in Spain and Morocco called on both countries to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
Moroccan authorities said the individuals died as a result of a “stampede” of people who attempted Friday to climb the iron fence that separates the city of Melilla and Morocco. In a statement, Morocco's Interior Ministry said 76 civilians were injured along with 140 Moroccan security officers.
The ministry initially reported five deaths. Local authorities cited by Morocco's official Television 2M updated the number to 18 on Saturday and then reported that the death toll had climbed to 23. The Moroccan Human Rights Association reported 27 dead, but the figure could not immediately be confirmed.
Two members of Morocco's security forces and 33 migrants who were injured during the border breach were being treated at hospitals in the Moroccan cities of Nador and Oujda, MAP said.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Saturday condemned what he described as a “violent assault” and an “attack on the territorial integrity” of Spain. Spanish officials said 49 Civil Guards sustained minor injuries.
“If there is anyone responsible for everything that appears to have taken place at that border, it is the mafias that traffic in human beings,” Sanchez said.
His remarks came as the Moroccan Human Rights Association shared videos on social media that appeared to show dozens of migrants lying on the ground, many of them motionless and a few bleeding, as Moroccan security forces stood over them.
“They were left there without help for hours, which increased the number of deaths,” the human rights group said on Twitter. It called for a “comprehensive” investigation.
In another of the association's videos, a Moroccan security officer appeared to use a baton to strike a person lying on the ground.
In a statement released late Friday, Amnesty International expressed its “deep concern” over the events at the border.
“Although the migrants may have acted violently in their attempt to enter Melilla, when it comes to border control, not everything goes,” said Esteban Beltran, the director of Amnesty International Spain. “The human rights of migrants and refugees must be respected and situations like that seen cannot happen again.”
Five rights organizations in Morocco and APDHA, a human rights group based in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, also called for inquiries.
The International Organization for Migration and U.N. refugee agency UNHCR also weighed in with a statement that expressed “profound sadness and concern” over what happened at the Morocco-Melilla border.
“IOM and UNHCR urge all authorities to prioritize the safety of migrants and refugees, refrain from the excessive use of force and uphold their human rights,” the organizations said.
In a statement published Saturday, the Spanish Commission for Refugees, CEAR, decried what it described as “the indiscriminate use of violence to manage migration and control borders” and expressed concerns that the violence had prevented people who were eligible for international protection from reaching Spanish soil.
The Catholic Church in the southern Spanish city of Malaga also expressed its dismay over the events. “Both Morocco and Spain have chosen to eliminate human dignity on our borders, maintaining that the arrival of migrants must be avoided at all costs and forgetting the lives that are torn apart along the way,” it said in a statement penned by a delegation of the diocese that focuses on migration in Malaga and Melilla.
A spokesperson for the Spanish government's office in Melilla said that around 2,000 people had attempted to make it across the border fence but were stopped by Spanish Civil Guard Police and Moroccan forces on either side of the border fence. A total 133 migrants made it across the border.
The mass crossing attempt was the first since Spain and Morocco mended relations after a year-long dispute related to Western Sahara, a former Spanish colony annexed by Morocco in 1976. The thaw in relations came after Spain backed Morocco's plan to grant more autonomy to the territory, a reversal of its previous support for a U.N.-backed referendum on the status of Western Sahara.

WHO panel: Monkeypox not a global emergency 'at this stage'
The World Health Organization said the escalating monkeypox outbreak in more than 50 countries should be closely monitored but does not warrant being declared a global health emergency.
In a statement Saturday, a WHO emergency committee said many aspects of the outbreak were ''unusual'' and acknowledged that monkeypox — which is endemic in some African countries — has been neglected for years.
''While a few members expressed differing views, the committee resolved by consensus to advise the WHO director-general that at this stage the outbreak should be determined to not constitute'' a global health emergency, WHO said in a statement.
WHO nevertheless pointed to the ''emergency nature'' of the outbreak and said controlling its spread requires an ''intense'' response.
The committee said the outbreak should be ''closely monitored and reviewed after a few weeks.'' But it would recommend a re-assessment before then if certain new developments emerge — such as cases among sex workers; spread to other countries or within countries that have already had cases; increased severity of cases; or an increasing rate of spread.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus convened the emergency committee on Thursday after expressing concern about the epidemic of monkeypox in countries that haven't previously reported the disease.
''What makes the current outbreak especially concerning is the rapid, continuing spread into new countries and regions and the risk of further, sustained transmission into vulnerable populations including people that are immunocompromised, pregnant women and children,'' the WHO chief said.
Monkeypox has sickened people for decades in central and west Africa, but until last month, the disease had not been known to cause significant outbreaks in multiple countries at the same time and involving people with no travel links to the continent.
Declaring a global health emergency means that a health crisis is an ''extraordinary'' event requiring a globally-managed response and that a disease is at high risk of spilling across borders. WHO previously made similar declarations for diseases including COVID-19, Ebola in Congo and West Africa, Zika in Brazil and the ongoing effort to wipe out polio.
The emergency declaration mostly serves as a plea to draw more global resources and attention to an outbreak. Past announcements have had mixed impact, given that WHO is largely powerless when trying to convince countries to act.
WHO said this week it has confirmed more than 3,200 monkeypox infections in about 40 countries that haven't previously reported the disease. The vast majority of cases are in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with other men and more than 80 per cent of the cases are in Europe.
A leading WHO adviser said last month the spike in cases in Europe was likely tied to sexual activity by men at two raves in Spain and Belgium, speculating that its appearance in the gay and bisexual community was a ''random event.'' British officials have said most cases in the UK involve men who reported having sex with other men in venues such as saunas and sex clubs.
Scientists warn that anyone in close, physical contact with someone infected with monkeypox or their clothing or bedsheets is at risk of catching the disease, regardless of their sexual orientation.
People with monkeypox often experience symptoms like fever, body aches and a rash; most recover within weeks without needing medical care.
Monkeypox in Africa mostly affects people who come into contact with infected wild animals, like rodents or primates. There has been about 1,500 reported cases of monkeypox, including 70 deaths, in Congo, Cameroon and the Central African Republic.
To date, scientists haven't found any mutations in the monkeypox virus that suggest it's more transmissible or lethal, although the number of changes detected show the virus has likely been spreading undetected for years.
The version of the disease transmitting beyond Africa typically has a fatality rate of less than 1 per cent, while the version seen in Africa can kill up to 10 per cent of people affected.
WHO is also creating a vaccine-sharing mechanism for monkeypox, which could see vaccines go to rich countries like Britain, which currently has the biggest outbreak beyond Africa.
Some experts warned that could entrench the deep inequities seen between rich and poor countries during the coronavirus pandemic.
''France, Germany, the US and UK already have a lot of resources and plenty of vaccines to deal with this and they don't need vaccines from WHO,'' said Dr. Irwin Redlener, an expert in disaster preparedness and response at Columbia University.
''What we should be doing is trying to help the countries in Africa where monkeypox has been endemic and largely neglected,'' he said. ''Monkeypox is not COVID, but our attention should not be so distorted that it only becomes a problem when it is seen in rich countries.''

OSLO, Norway (AP) - A gunman opened fire in Oslo's nightlife district early Saturday, killing two people and leaving more than 20 wounded in what the Norwegian security service called an “Islamist terror act” during the capital's annual LGBTQ Pride festival.
Investigators said the suspect, identified as a 42-year-old Norwegian citizen originally from Iran, was arrested after opening fire at three locations in downtown Oslo.
Police said two men, one in his 50s and and the other his 60s, died in the shootings. Ten people were treated for serious injuries, but none of them was believed to be in life-threatening condition. Eleven others had minor injuries.
The Norwegian Police Security Service raised its terror alert level from “moderate” to “extraordinary” - the highest level - after the attack, which sent panicked revelers fleeing into the streets or trying to hide from the gunman.
The service's acting chief, Roger Berg, called the attack an “extreme Islamist terror act” and said the suspect had a “long history of violence and threats,” as well as mental health issues.
He said the agency, known by its Norwegian acronym PST, first became aware of the suspect in 2015 and later grew concerned he had become radicalized and was part of an unspecified Islamist network.
Norwegian media named the suspect as Zaniar Matapour, an Oslo resident who arrived in Norway with his family from a Kurdish part of Iran in the 1990s.
The suspect's defense lawyer, John Christian Elden, said his client “hasn't denied” carrying out the attack, but he cautioned against speculation on the motive.
“He has not given any reason. It is too early to conclude whether this is hate crime or terrorism,” Elden said in an email to The Associated Press.
Upon the advice of police, organizers canceled a Pride parade that was set for Saturday as the highlight of a weeklong festival. Scores of people marched through the capital anyway, waving rainbow flags.
Police attorney Christian Hatlo said it was too early to say whether the gunman specifically targeted members of the LGBTQ community.
“We have to look closer at that, we don't know yet,” he said.
Police said civilians assisted them in detaining the man in custody, who was being held on suspicion of murder, attempted murder and terrorism, based on the number of people targeted at multiple locations.
Investigators seized two weapons after the attack: a handgun and an automatic weapon. Hatlo described both as “not modern” but did not give details.
Not far from Oslo's cathedral, crime scene tape cordoned off the bars where the shootings took place, including the London Pub, which is popular with the city's LGBTQ community.
Crowds gathered outside and dropped off cards and flowers at impromptu memorials.
Martin Ebbestad, 29, had walked by earlier, seen the memorials and returned with flowers.
London Pub “is our go-to place. My boyfriend left 20 minutes before (it happened). He was sitting outside in the smoking area,” Ebbestad said. “We know this place so well. It doesn't feel unsafe, but it does feel very close.”
Norwegian television channel TV2 showed footage of people running down Oslo streets in panic as shots rang out in the background. Olav Roenneberg, a journalist from Norwegian public broadcaster NRK, said he witnessed the shooting.
“I saw a man arrive at the site with a bag. He picked up a weapon and started shooting,” Roenneberg told NRK. “First I thought it was an air gun. Then the glass of the bar next door was shattered and I understood I had to run for cover.”
Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere called the shooting a “cruel and deeply shocking attack on innocent people.”
He said that while the motive was unclear, the shooting had caused fear and grief in the LGBTQ community.
“We all stand by you,” Gahr Stoere wrote on Facebook.
Christian Bredeli, who was at the London Pub, told Norwegian newspaper VG that he hid on the fourth floor with a group of about 10 people until he was told it was safe to come out.
“Many were fearing for their lives,” he said. “On our way out we saw several injured people, so we understood that something serious had happened.”
Desta G. Selassie, a co-owner of the London Pub, told AP that employees who witnessed the shooting were in shock and receiving psychological counseling.
Police said the suspect had a criminal record that included a narcotics offense and a weapons offense for carrying a knife.
PST said it spoke to him in May this year “because he had shown a certain interest in statements that were interpreted as insults to Islam.”
“In these conversations, it was assessed that he had no intention of violence, but PST is aware that he has had challenges related to mental health,” the agency said in a statement.
Organizers of Oslo Pride canceled the parade and other scheduled events, and encouraged “people all over Norway to show solidarity” in their homes, neighborhoods and on social media instead.
“We'll be back later, proud, visible, but right now it's not the time for that,” Inge Alexander Gjestvang, leader of FRI, a Norwegian organization for sexual and gender diversity, told TV2.
Like its Scandinavian neighbors, Norway is considered progressive on LGBTQ rights. There is widespread support for same-sex marriage, which was legalized in 2009. In 2016, Norway became one of the world's first countries to allow transgender people to legally change their gender without a doctor's agreement or intervention.
Norway's King Harald V offered condolences to the relatives of victims and said the royal family was “horrified” by the attack.
“We must stand together to defend our values: freedom, diversity and respect for each other. We must continue to stand up for all people to feel safe,” the monarch said.
World leaders condemned the attack on their way to a Group of Seven summit in Germany. The summit's host, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, tweeted, “The Norwegian people can be sure of our sympathy. The fight against terror unites us.” French President Emmanuel Macron offered his condolences in a tweet in Norwegian.
John Kirby, spokesman for the White House National Security Council, told reporters while flying with U.S. President Joe Biden to the G-7 summit, “Our hearts obviously go out to all the families there of the victims, the people of Norway, which is a tremendous ally, and of course the LGBTQI+ community, there and around the world, quite frankly.”
Norway has a relatively low crime rate but has experienced a series of so-called lone wolf attacks in recent decades, including one of the worst mass shootings in Europe. In 2011, a right-wing extremist killed 69 people on the island of Utoya after setting off a bomb in Oslo that left eight dead.
In 2019, another right-wing extremist killed his stepsister and then opened fire in a mosque but was overpowered before anyone there was injured.
Last year, a Norwegian man armed with knives and a bow and arrow killed five people in a town in southern Norway. The attacker, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, was sentenced Friday to compulsory psychiatric care.

MUNICH (AP) - About 4,000 protesters gathered in Munich as the Group of Seven leading economic powers prepared Saturday to hold their annual gathering in the Bavarian Alps in Germany, which holds the G-7's rotating presidency this year.
Organizers had hoped to mobilize up to 20,000 protesters in the Bavarian city and were disappointed by the low turnout at Munich's Theresienwiese park, German news agency dpa reported.
Uwe Hiksch, one of the protest organizers, theorized said that potential participants might consider it inappropriate to challenge the world's wealthiest democracies during Russia's war in Ukraine.
“We have the impression that many people are unsettled by the war in Ukraine,” Hiksch told dpa.
Seven years ago, 35,000 people participated in protests when the G-7 held a summit at the same site in Bavaria.
The G-7 leaders - from the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan - are expected to start arriving in Germany on Saturday afternoon. Their summit agenda includes issues such as Russia's war on Ukraine, climate change, energy and a looming food security crisis.
“Russia's brutal war against Ukraine is also having an impact here,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in a video podcast Saturday, referring to rising prices for groceries, gas and energy.
Fifteen groups critical of globalization, from the international Attac network to the environmental organization WWF, called on people to participate in demonstrations for this weekend's summit.
Their demands included a phase-out of fossil fuels, the preservation of animal and plant diversity, social justice and a stepped-up fight against hunger.
“My demands for the G-7 are that they have a clear commitment to energy transition, that is, the exit from fossil fuels, all forms of fossil fuels, by 2035 at the latest, so we can stop financing wars and conflicts,” said Kilian Wolter from the environmental group Greenpeace.
Earlier Saturday, during a separate protest demanding more global equality.members of the antipoverty organization Oxfam wore oversized heads of the G-7 leaders.
“We need concrete action to cope with multiple crises of our times,” Oxfam spokesperson Tobias Hauschild told The Associated Press. “That means the G-7 have to act immediately. They have to fight hunger, inequality and poverty.”
A total of around 18,000 police officers are deployed around the summit site and the protests.
Scholz said the G-7 leaders would discuss the current situation triggered by the war in Ukraine “and at the same time ensure that we stop manmade climate change.”
The chancellor was set to welcome the leaders at the Elmau resort near Garmisch-Partenkirchen on Saturday evening.
The G-7 summit itself will take place in Bavaria's Elmau from Sunday through Tuesday. After the meeting concludes, leaders of the 30 countries in the NATO alliance will then gather for their annual summit, which is being held Wednesday through Thursday in Madrid.
Grieshaber reported from Berlin, Philipp Jenne and Pietro De Cristofaro contributed from Munich.

Ukraine shelling forces Russians to halt evacuation from Sievierodonetsk plant - Tass
Ukrainian shelling on Saturday forced Russian troops to suspend the evacuation of people from a chemical plant in Sievierodonetsk, just hours after Moscow's forces took the city, Tass news agency quoted local police as saying.
Separately, a senior advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said special forces were still in Sievierodonetsk, directing artillery fire against the Russians. The adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, spoke in a video address.
