▼ + stars: | 2024-07-05 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer began appointing his ministerial team on Friday following a thumping election victory for his Labour Party, naming Rachel Reeves as the country's first female finance minister and Angela Rayner as deputy PM. Starmer appointed David Lammy as Britain's new foreign minister and as John Healey the defence minister, while Yvette Cooper becomes interior minister, known as home secretary, overseeing domestic security and policing. Starmer has pledged to help rebuild Britain and provide political stability after 14 years of Conservative government that has seen five prime ministers and an even higher turnover of other key ministers, including 10 education secretaries. The appointments of his most senior team were widely expected, with ministers being named to the policy briefs they held while serving in opposition. Rayner will also serve as secretary for levelling up, housing and communities.

Spain thought they had beaten Germany after Dani Olmo’s 51st-minute finish to a fine team move. Having beaten the hosts in dramatic fashion, some will now consider Spain the favourites to win Euro 2024. Spain had never previously beaten a host nation in a knockout tie at either a World Cup or European Championship. What Germany had to remember was that De la Fuente’s Spain are far more versatile in the way they play. His final game in professional football was mixed.

☆ 'The Man with 1000 Kids' sperm donor Jonathan Jacob Meijer said his children should use a symbol on social media to prevent incest

Read previewJonathan Jacob Meijer, the prolific sperm donor who is the focus of the show "The Man with 1000 Kids," said that his children should use a symbol on social media to avoid unwittingly having incestuous relationships. Meijer confirmed that he fathered 550 children during the 2023 court case, and it's unclear why Netflix chose the title "The Man with 1000 Kids." He suggested that his children should use a symbol on social media as a way of avoiding incest. A narrator reading the court transcript in the docuseries said: "The defence argues that if they are worried about incest, his donor children can use a social media symbol to identify themselves as one of his children." In an interview broadcast on Wednesday on BBC Radio 4's "Woman's Hour," the host asked Meijer if he really thought social media was a good way for his children to identify themselves.

☆ 'We don't do God' and massive ad spends: How UK election races differ from American ones
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-04 | by ( Holly Ellyatt | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +12 min

Here are a handful of them:1) CampaignsBy the time a presidential election takes place in the United States, the electorate will have already endured months of seemingly endless electioneering — with the entire election campaign process from candidacies and the campaign trail to the actual presidential election and inauguration taking up to two years. In the U.K., the time frame between a prime minister calling a general election to the actual vote is just six weeks. It sounds simple, and usually is, unless there's a "hung parliament" in which no political party wins a majority of seats. In the U.K., political advertising on TV and radio is not allowed, so U.K. voters are subjected to the somewhat quaint "party political broadcasts" during election campaigns. 6) 'Absurd' diversionsBritish political experts note that, unlike in the U.S., where broad political debates tend to remain the key focus, U.K. election campaigns can see more minor or fringe issues dominate the short election campaign.

☆ Record numbers of people are flying. So why are airlines’ profits plunging?
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-03 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

Airlines face numerous problems, including higher costs, such as fuel, wages and interest rates. And problems at Boeing mean airlines have too few planes to expand routes to support a record numbers of flyers. Labor costs and jet fuel prices, the airlines’ two largest costs, are both sharply higher this year. Jet fuel prices are climbing because of higher demand in the summer. Southwest announced in April that it would stop serving four airports to trim costs — Bellingham International Airport in Washington state, Cozumel International Airport in Mexico, Syracuse Hancock International Airport in New York and Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

☆ Boeing Agrees to Buy Spirit AeroSystems, a Longtime Supplier
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-01 | by ( Niraj Chokshi | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Boeing said on Monday that it had agreed to buy a major supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, ending a nearly two-decade experiment in outsourcing production of major components of its commercial planes, including the body of the 737 Max and parts of the 767, 777 and 787. In buying Spirit, Boeing hopes to stem quality problems that have plagued the supplier in recent years. While it already has significant influence over Spirit, Boeing will more easily be able to monitor and change production practices by owning the business outright. The deal, which was widely expected, was valued at $4.7 billion in stock or $8.3 billion including Spirit’s debt. Boeing said its acquisition of Spirit is expected to close by the middle of next year.

AdvertisementThe XLR plane is the longest-ranged option in the A321neo family, which has outsold Boeing's 737 since 2019, when two fatal crashes grounded the plane's Max variants. According to Airbus, the XLR is uniquely equipped for long-haul flying, thanks to an extra rear center fuel tank that helps the narrowbody fly up to 5,400 miles (11 hours) nonstop. AdvertisementThe premium seating offers lie-flat beds typical to what customers find on long-haul widebody flights, and is likely to be the norm on long-haul XLRs.

New York CNN —Boeing has agreed to buy Spirit Aerosystems, one of its major suppliers and manufacturing partners, as part of its plan to overhaul the aircraft maker’s badly damaged safety reputation. Boeing in March announced its intention to buy Spirit, saying recombining the companies would boost safety.

The company also makes parts for Boeing’s rival Airbus, although Boeing is Spirit’s largest customer. The first group of employees removed the door plug to address problems with rivets that were made by Spirit AeroSystems.
