TSMC, however, has maintained that the incoming Taiwanese workers will not be a threat to US jobs. The pipe cutter said that TSMC and its key contractors were largely to blame for the management problems. After complaining about one safety issue for two straight weeks, he said, he spoke with a company safety representative. And then you go to degown, and they don't have your hanger or somebody took your hanger," the pipe cutter said. He added: "It's not like we're against the Taiwanese workers or anything.

He also spoke emotionally about the toll his new job has taken on his family. The interview has been lightly edited and condensed for clarity. You’ve now been in Congress for just over six months. The fact that we’re playing with something like that is antithetical to the stability of our democracy. Does all of that political posturing make you cynical about Washington?

☆ Grilled Spiedies, Steak and a Classic Senegalese Sauce

I want to grill and grill and grill some more, eat outside and devour tomatoes and corn. Thread the knuckles of meat onto skewers, then grill them over a fairly hot grill; serve with seeded Italian semolina bread, hot sauce and a white sauce of mayonnaise, sour cream, minced garlic and a splash of red wine vinegar. Alternatively, you might try Yewande Komolafe’s new recipe for grilled steak with sauce rof (above), a Senegalese condiment made of minced onion, parsley, scallions and chile. I’d go with skirt or hanger steak there, and maybe one extra jalapeño for pop. Or try Melissa Clark’s gingery grilled chicken thighs with charred peaches?

☆ Murray's night-time drama ends on a Wimbledon cliff-hanger

There was so very little to choose between the two combatants in the opening set – just two points separated them, Murray winning 37 points and Tsitsipas 39. One of his 21 clean winners in that opening set came to punch through Murray’s defences for a 4-3 lead in the tiebreak. Two points later he held three set points at 6-3, and converted on his first by out-manoeuvring the Scot to take a one-set lead after just shy of an hour’s play. It was one he would not relinquish and at 10:38pm he fired a service that Tsitsipas could only return long. Tsitsipas stalked off court while Murray collected his bag and the crowd roared their appreciation as the night-time clash ended on a cliff-hanger.

Navigating air travel at this time of year can be fraught, but it doesn’t have to be – and if anyone’s got intel on smoothly and successfully surviving summer travel, it’s the flight attendants who’ve seen it all.

Andrew adds that this advice is especially crucial if you’re flying internationally, suggesting that whatever you consider a “normal” connection time, you should probably double if you’re flying long haul.

MARK FELIX/AFP/AFP /AFP via Getty ImagesNASA is attempting to fill in what it calls “Strategic Knowledge Gaps,” that currently make a manned Mars mission too risky. A manned Mars mission will ship food to the planet in advance of humans, which means it will need a long shelf-life. Intended as a location for the emirate to develop technology for an eventual Mars mission, it was also designed by Bjarke Ingels Group, with 3D-printed buildings. Thankfully the crew entering CHAPEA in June will not have to concern themselves with that potentially deadly element of a Mars mission.

Two Russian Su-27 jets carried out what the U.S. military described as a reckless intercept of the American spy drone before one of them collided with it at 7:03 a.m. (0603 GMT). The U.S. military said the incident followed a pattern of dangerous behavior by Russian pilots operating near aircraft flown by the U.S. and its allies, including over the Black Sea. The Black Sea lies between Europe and Asia and is bordered by Russia and Ukraine, among other countries. "The State Department will be speaking directly with their Russian counterparts, and expressing our concerns over this unsafe and unprofessional intercept," said White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby.

Dr. Mehmet Oz and John Fetterman faced off in their first and only debate Tuesday night. The candidates clashed on abortion, with Fetterman saying it should be a nationally protected right. Oz said he does not support a federal ban but argued states should be able to prohibit the procedure. In 2019, he defended Roe v. Wade, saying that as a physician he had personally witnessed women who suffered "really traumatic events" from undergoing illegal, "coat-hanger" abortions." Democratic candidates, including Fetterman, have heavily campaigned on abortion rights in an effort to expand the party's House and Senate majorities and codify Roe v. Wade into law.

The flying taxi that's been ordered by American Airlines has completed its first test flight. The piloted test of the VX4 is the first in a series of planned tests, Vertical Aerospace said Monday. No model has been certified by flight regulators, although Vertical Aerospace hopes to have the VX4 certified by 2025.

Vertical Aerospace plans to continue testing the VX4 for several months and increase the altitude and speed with each new test flight.

Kevin McCarthy ’s election as speaker on the 15th ballot early Saturday morning was a spectacle, and his concessions left him weaker than he would have been with unified support. Still, he isn’t the only speaker elected with only 216 votes—two fewer than a majority of a full 435-member House. The 1800 election ended in an Electoral College tie, sending the contest to the House. Six days and 36 ballots later, Jefferson prevailed over his running mate, Aaron Burr , who attempted to grab the White House with support from the Federalist opposition. So will Mr. McCarthy, though his path is harder.
