Mr Tugendhat, who was ruled out of the race earlier this month, insisted the foreign secretary could “unite” the fractured party and her proposals for more than £30bn of tax cuts were “based on true Conservative principles”. His comments came just 24 hours after Defense Secretary Ben Wallace, who is popular among Tory MPs, revealed his support for Ms Truss and attacked Mr Sunak for “leaving” the government. Former Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis also made the cover to back Ms Truss to be the next leader of the Tory party....

Comment The coronavirus pandemic began with separate viral spills — at least two but perhaps as many as two dozen — from live animals sold and slaughtered in late 2019 at the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, China, according to two papers published Tuesday in the journal Science. The publication of the papers, which underwent five months of peer review and revisions by the authors, is unlikely to quell the vicious debate over how the pandemic began and whether the virus emerged from a Chinese lab....

The strike coincides with the opening weekend of the Commonwealth Games and the opening day of the new season of English football....

Die Sommerhitze setzt den Gletschern in den Alpen zu, das zwingt auch den Spitzensport zum Handeln. Weil Schneearmut und Gletscherspalten ein Training in Österreich oder der Schweiz derzeit unmöglich machen, fliegen nahezu alle Weltcup-Athleten des österreichischen Skiverbands (ÖSV) – zum Teil entgegen der ursprünglichen Pläne – nach Südamerika. 27.07.2022 13.10 Online seit heute, 13.10 Uhr „Wir brauchen viele Speed-Kilometer, denn die Aussichten für den Herbst sind hierzulande durchwachsen“, sagte ÖSV-Alpinchef Herbert Mandl zur „Tiroler Tageszeitung“....

Casey Mulligan, former chief economist of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), criticized the Biden administration for trying to redefine what a recession means. Several underlying indicators suggest the U.S. is headed for an economic recession despite President Biden’s insistence that the economy is strong, Mulligan — who served in the Trump administration between 2018 and 2019 — said in an interview with FOX Business. In recent days, several top White House officials have downplayed the technical definition of a recession and argued that two consecutive quarters of negative gross domestic product (GDP) growth do not indicate a recession....

The former chancellor has admitted he is “playing taha” with the foreign secretary in the battle to become the next prime minister. This weekend he vowed to end “woke nonsense” and vowed to reduce the number of empty shops on Britain’s high streets, as well as a pledge to increase police powers to tackle anti-social behavior in public places. He said he would crack down on graffiti and littering by allowing local authorities to double fines for such offenses and consider lowering the damage threshold for jailed offenders....

There was a time when testing positive for COVID came with the assurance that you wouldn’t be reinfected for a few months. Unfortunately, we no longer have that sense of short-term protection. In addition to keeping yourself safe with a well-fitting mask, it’s smart to redeem your free COVID tests by mail and get tested regularly. The good news: Home COVID tests have never been more readily available. The Bad: As you’ve probably heard (if not firsthand), home antigen tests aren’t entirely reliable....

Ma Nilar Thein, 50, told the Guardian she was heartbroken by her husband’s murder, but that the public “will hold our hands together in unity”. “We can’t stop just because we’re sad. And, we cannot mourn. We must continue our journey bearing in mind that we will have to eliminate this military regime,” she said, referring to the junta that took power in a coup in February 2021. Kyaw Min Yu, a writer and translator who spent more than 20 years in prison, was one of four prisoners killed in executions this week that shocked Myanmar and around the world....

Indigenous women carrying cradles they intended to give to Pope Francis during a private meeting with residential school survivors were asked to leave the room before the pontiff entered. The event was planned as a time for survivors from Eastern Canada to meet with the pope at the archbishop’s residence Friday morning in Quebec City, hours before the pontiff left for Iqaluit. Jonel Beauvais, a member of the Kanien’kehá:ka wolf tribe from Akwesasne, said while she could stay, she had to go to the rear....

Investigators intercepted the shipment, which was bound for the Netherlands, on Tuesday. Hundreds of huge slabs of cocaine were found wedged next to bananas in cardboard boxes. The NCA said the cargo would have a value in the UK of more than £40m once broken up and sold....

Even that is an improvement on where the sport was. For Tongue, one of England’s biggest triumphs at the Euro 2022 final was that companies are no longer asking their players to make corporate appearances for free: “I was very used to hearing ‘There is no charge.’ That’s the main change.” This is the reality of women’s football in England today. A small group of the national team’s top players, nicknamed the Lionesses, are on the verge of becoming household names and earning significant sums of money, with sell-out stadiums and huge television audiences watching them take on Germany in the Euro 2022 final on Sunday ....

Even in Uvalde, where police have been criticized for waiting on the scene for more than an hour, the gunman is believed to have fired more than 100 rounds in the first three minutes, according to a state report. “Timing is all that matters,” Mr. Irwin said. “It is so simple”. Of the eight school officials under training, Mandi was somewhat of an anomaly. She was the only woman in the group....

Le geste mémoriel a d’abord été discuté avec Paul Biya, le président irrévocable du Cameroun puis avec des jeunes de la société civile. Mardi 26 juillet, à Yaoundé, la capitale, Emmanuel Macron a tenté d’ouvrir une nouvelle page dans les relations souvent tendues entre le Cameroun et la France : le chef de l’Etat a proposé la création d’une commission d’historiens des deux pays, chargée de la ” lumière » sur l’attitude des autorités françaises lors de la colonisation et après l’indépendance officielle du pays en 1960....

Bienvenue zum Jahr des Au Pairs! Diese beginnt in der Regel im August. Und wer hat es erfunden? Gemäss Historikern wohl wir Schweizer. Ab Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts reisten Frauen aus dem deutschsprachigen Teil des Landes in die Westschweiz und kümmerten sich dort um Haushalt und Kinder. Einmal auch zur Vorbereitung auf Hausarbeit und Kindererziehung. Mittlerweile ist ein Au Pair Jahr auch ein Männerberuf. Allerdings kämpft sie nun mit der Demografie und den Folgen der Pandemie: Die Branche ist personell unterbesetzt....
