IAG's quarterly profit beat analyst forecasts by 40% and the British Airways parent company said the outlook for summer travel was encouraging, although it warned it was "mindful" of uncertainty in the wider economy. IAG, which also owns Iberia, Aer Lingus and Vueling, did not on Friday provide an update on its full-year guidance. It had said in May it expected annual profit above the top end of a 1.8 billion euros to 2.3 billion euros range. IAG said in its statement that while there was no sign of weakness in forward bookings it was "mindful of wider uncertainties that might affect the full year." For the three months to the end of June, the group recorded an operating profit before exceptional items of 1.25 billion euros ($1.37 billion), compared to the 895 million euros analysts were on average expecting.

These price caps in turn look set to result in widening power price discounts for consumers based in Spain and Portugal - known as Iberia - compared to Western European consumers, and may offer potential power price relief for industry. read moreSince then, the power price differences for Iberia-based consumers and those in Germany, Europe's largest power consumer, have been significant: Power prices in Spain for the second half of 2022 averaged less than half of those in Germany. For those firms, Spain and Portugal will likely emerge as potential locations for some production processes and operations, due mainly to lower energy costs. Spain and Portugal have not been entirely free from some power cost inflation even with the Iberian Exception. So far in 2023 Spain's power prices have averaged around 90% more than the average for 2018 through 2020.

The travel industry is on high alert for disruption after Europe's peak season last year was hit by cancellations, causing chaos at airports. This summer, air traffic control issues are likely to be the weak spot, according to warnings from Eurocontrol, which manages European airspace. Heathrow Airport security workers on June 23 called off 31 days of strikes planned at Britain's busiest hub. At Birmingham Airport, around 100 security officers and terminal technicians will begin continuous strike action from July 18. The strikes will severely impact the airport's security and terminal maintenance, leading to flight delays, the Unite union said.

☆ Spain's entombed 'Ivory Lady' reveals leadership role of women in antiquity
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Researchers said on Thursday an analysis of tooth enamel showed that the body entombed at the site near Seville was not a man as previously thought, a finding that indicates the leadership role women played in this ancient society that predated the pyramids of Egypt - and perhaps elsewhere. In the British Isles, it is the peak time of Stonehenge, a major megalithic monument and sanctuary," García Sanjuán said. The 'Ivory Lady' reflects all these elements," García Sanjuán said. "This study throws new light on a problem we know preciously little about: the social and political role of women among early complex pre-state societies," García Sanjuán said. The "Ivory Lady" shows that women may have held high leadership positions during the Copper Age, a transitional period between the Stone Age and the more technologically sophisticated Bronze Age.

The 29 billion euro Italian insurer on Thursday agreed to purchase Liberty Seguros, a group of European businesses, from U.S. insurer Liberty Mutual for 2.3 billion euros in cash. The Italian insurer’s largest acquisition since 2013 nearly exhausts its M&A firepower, which the group had assessed at between 2.5 billion euros and 3 billion euros. At 2.3 billion euros, or nearly two times its 1.2 billion euros of annual revenue, Liberty Seguros’ price tag does not look cheap. But the real price falls to 1.8 billion euros after factoring in around 500 million euros of cash expected from a sale of Brazilian assets announced earlier this year. Assuming three-quarters of these are cost cuts, they may be worth around 800 million euros once taxed at 25% and capitalised.

☆ Arby's employee who died after she was accidentally locked inside walk-in freezer 'beat her hands bloody' trying to get out, lawsuit says

The children of a woman who died in a Louisiana Arby's earlier this month are suing for negligence. The lawsuit claims Nguyet Le died because a broken freezer latch caused her to be locked inside while alone in the restaurant. The suit also alleges multiple managers were aware the latch had been broken for at least nine months before Le's death. Employees allegedly used a screwdriver to get the door open, and often propped the door open with a box so the freezer, kept at -10 degrees Fahrenheit or below per company policy, didn't close all the way, according to court documents. Le's children are seeking at least $1 million in damages, claiming Arby's and the franchisees were negligent in failing to inspect and repair the broken freezer latch for at least nine months.
