☆ The UK's Covid vaccine program and delta surge means it's now a test case for the world

LONDON — The U.K. has one of the highest Covid-19 vaccination rates in the world, yet it's seeing a new surge in coronavirus cases largely attributed to the delta variant that first originated in India. Experts say that close attention is being paid to the latest data out of the U.K. as it could be a bellwether for others. And there is a fear that where the U.K. now treads, others — like the U.S. — could follow. "All eyes (are) on UK Covid trends," Kallum Pickering, senior economist and director at Berenberg Bank, said in a note Tuesday. Secondly, he noted that new hospital admissions had increased less than recorded infections — and by much less than during the winter wave.

He is one of just four players in MLB history with at least eight homers and 15 RBIs in a five-game span. The Marlins couldn't get a runner past first base until the fifth inning, and they have now scored just five runs over their past four games. Detroit starter Jose Urena (2-8) gave up six runs, four earned, on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings.

"It makes no sense," said Ross, 34, adding that no witnesses have stepped forward in the “broad daylight” murder. Such tributes have become a common sight in the poorer neighborhoods of Rochester, a city of 206,000 people in the northwestern part of the state. The per-capita murder rate climbed 30 percent in 2020 among 34 major cities surveyed by Richard Rosenfeld, a criminologist at the University of Missouri in St. Louis. Evans said the murder surge reflects rising problems with drug trafficking, criminal gangs and illegal firearms during the pandemic. The city’s police union, the Rochester Police Locust Club, said the department has only 12 investigators to pursue murder cases.

"Policymakers will have to take this new risk into account in the months and quarters ahead," Bullard told the Clayton Chamber of Commerce near St. Louis. Kaplan, speaking to the Headliners Club of Austin, said he sees "upside risk" to his projection for 2.4% or 2.5% inflation next year, already at the top of the range of Fed forecasts. Both believe the Fed will need to start raising interest rates from current rock-bottom levels next year. Meanwhile, New York Fed President John Williams and Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker, speaking at separate events, emphasized how much farther the labor market has to go before it heals. Since the pandemic began last year, the Fed has faced little tension between its two mandates of full employment and stable prices.

Bullard earlier this week said he was among the Fed policymakers who expect interest rates will need to increase next year. There has already, he said, been a “substantial” surprise in terms of stronger than anticipated economic growth and inflation. As schools reopen in the U.S. in the fall and more countries reopen their economies, “the risk is tangible” inflation could move higher than projected. “Policymakers will have to take this new risk into account in the months and quarters ahead,” he said.

So while investors assess Fed’s policy shift, the focus today moves to the Bank of England with the pound holding below a two-year high hit earlier this month.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File PhotoJune 24 (Reuters) - Private equity firm Blackstone Group (BX.N) has sweetened its buyout offer for St. Modwen Properties (SMP.L) to 1.25 billion pounds ($1.75 billion), the companies said on Thursday, adding that the London-listed firm was backing the latest proposal. The 560 pence per share cash offer for St. Modwen is the final offer, the companies said, adding that Blackstone could make another proposal if another suitor for St. Modwen emerged. Last month, Blackstone put forward a 542 pence per share takeover proposal, after the U.S.-based company had made a series of overtures to the British real estate developer. The latest offer is at a premium of about 25% to St. Modwen's closing price the day before the first offer was made in May.

☆ Britain risks missing climate targets due to lack of policies -advisers

REUTERS/Tom Nicholson/File PhotoLONDON, June 24 (Reuters) - Britain's lack of policies to meet net zero emissions by 2050 is jeopardising its chance of meeting the target, the country's climate advisers said in a progress report on Thursday. Britain in 2019 became the G7 first member to set a net zero target, which will require wholesale changes in the way that Britons travel, eat and consume electricity. The country is also hosting international climate talks in November in Glasgow, where countries are expected to outline plans to meet the Paris climate agreement to keep global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). Britain's greenhouse gas emissions have fallen almost 50% since 1990 largely due to an increase in renewable power such as wind and solar, and a move away from polluting coal. Failure to publish a clear strategy soon will also undermine Britain's ability to encourage other countries to set tougher climate goals at the Glasgow talks, the CCC said.

Russia said it fired warning shots at the Royal Navy destroyer, which the British government denied. Russia said one of its warships fired warning shots and a warplane dropped bombs in the path of British destroyer Defender on Wednesday to drive it away from waters near the Crimean city of Sevastopol. "If it doesn't help, we may drop bombs and not just in the path but right on target, if colleagues don't get it otherwise." Mikhail Khodaryonok, a retired Russian army colonel who works as a military analyst in Moscow, said the Russian warplane apparently dropped bombs miles away from the British ship. He charged that the British denial that Russia had fired warning shots and dropped bombs to chase the Defender away was an attempt to save face.

Mrs. McCain was among a handful of high-profile Republicans who endorsed Mr. Biden in the 2020 presidential race. The White House named Mrs. McCain as part of a slate of nominations Mr. Biden will make for key roles in his administration. The list also named Claire Cronin, a Democratic Massachusetts state representative, as Mr. Biden’s pick for U.S. ambassador to Ireland. Mr. Biden met virtually with the Irish prime minister Micheál Martin on St. Patrick’s Day, and the latter was among the first foreign leaders he spoke to after being elected president.

Whether the NFL at that time was aware that gay players were on team rosters, Moon says he doesn't know. No one felt comfortable coming out," says Rapoport of her early years at the NFL.

Posts shared to Instagram show Jordan, who is African American, posing in front of the J'ouvert brand logo along with a small bottle of J'ouvert rum, and an old-fashioned rum recipe. They further pinpointed the brand partnership as an example of Black Americans without ties to the region or its diaspora profiting from sacred, Caribbean cultural traditions without learning their significance or history.
