Aug 1 (Reuters) - Britain's Domino's Pizza Group (DOM.L) announced a 70 million pound ($89.78 million) share buyback programme on Tuesday and raised its annual profit forecast range helped by higher orders and sales in the first half of the year. Resilient customer spending has helped the UK hospitality slowly recover from pandemic lows amid pressures from high costs. In the first half of the year, total orders increased 2.8% to 35.4 million, helping the company to post an 8.2% rise in underlying core profit. The company, a franchisee of U.S.-based Domino's Pizza Inc (DPZ.N), said it now expects an underlying core profit of about 132 million pounds - 138 million pounds for the year. Analysts on average had expected 127.6 million pounds, according to a company-compiled consensus.

REUTERS/Erikas Mwisi KambaleBENI, Democratic Republic of Congo, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Congolese event organiser Deo Malela was born to Roman Catholic parents and identifies as such. But like more and more Catholics in the central African nation, 28-year-old Malele also regularly attends an evangelical church where he says he finds solutions to everyday problems. Pope Francis is expected to visit Congo from Jan. 31 to Feb. 3, the first visit of a pope since 1985. Today there are over 30,000 revivalist churches in Congo, where they also known as "churches of awakening", according to the association representing them. The Catholic church still gives him a stronger sense of community and "political protection", he explained.

Senatorul Lee a răspuns și Trump s-a prezentat, dar în scurt timp a devenit clar că președintele îl căuta de fapt pe senatorul Tommy Tuberville și i se dăduse numărul greșit. Ținându-l pe Trump în receptor, Lee a mers după Tuberville, spunându-i că îl caută președintele. Al doilea apel pe telefonul senatorului Mike Lee a venit de la Rudy Giuliani, avocatul lui Donald Trump. Cabinetul senatorului Lee a confirmat pentru CNN că și acest apel era tot pentru senatorul Tommy Tuberville și că mesajul era similar cu cel primit de un alt senator republican. Transcriptul mesajului audio lăsat de Giuliani a fost publicat de un site conservator, The Dispatch, scrie CNN:„Senatorul Tuberville?
