REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz/File PhotoWASHINGTON, Aug 4 (Reuters) - The U.S. is pausing certain foreign assistance programs that benefit the government of Niger but will continue giving humanitarian and food assistance, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Friday. "As we have made clear since the outset of this situation, the provision of U.S. assistance to the government of Niger depends on democratic governance and respect for constitutional order," Blinken said in a statement on Friday. West African defence chiefs have drawn up a plan for military action if Niger's coup is not overturned by Sunday. The U.S. Embassy in Niamey in 2021 said the Pentagon and State Department had provided Niger more than $500 million in equipment and training since 2012.

Commerzbank shares were down 5% in the first hour of trading, despite announcing strong half-year results, with net profits up by almost 50% to 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion). Commerzbank completed its first share buyback program in June, in which it purchased more than 12 million of its own shares, with a value of 122 million euros at an average price of around 10.05 euros per share. The bank's CFO Bettina Orlopp told CNBC's Silvia Amaro that Commerzbank was "satisfied" with the strong results, in an interview that took place before European markets opened. Commerzbank also raised its outlook for net income interest from 7 billion euros to 7.8 billion euros, well above the net income for 2022, and showed optimism for the upcoming year. "We are very confident that we will reach our 2024 targets, so there are no worries here," Orlopp said.

☆ UK rowing body bans transgender women from competing in women’s events

London CNN —Transgender women will not be allowed to compete in the women’s category of British Rowing events, the sport’s UK governing body has announced ahead of a change in policy due to come in later this year. Only athletes “assigned female at birth” will be allowed to compete in the women’s category in competitions under its jurisdiction, or be selected to represent Great Britain or England at international events, British Rowing said in a media release published Thursday. Meanwhile, any athletes are eligible to compete in an “Open” category, while competitions can stage “Mixed” events at any level of competition, providing 50% of crew are eligible to compete as women, British Rowing added. The policy includes athletes who compete in rowing and para-rowing, and applies at all levels including the Olympics and Paralympics, British Rowing added. “While elite sport often dominates these discussions, it only makes up a tiny proportion of all sport played in the UK.

Midway through filming “Our Body,” a sprawling documentary about the gynecological ward of a Paris hospital, the movie’s director, Claire Simon, received some medical news of her own: She had breast cancer. Four weeks into the shoot, Simon had discovered a lump beneath her armpit. But rather than cease production, she decided to improvise and turn the camera on herself. “I had to film a lot of naked women,” Simon in a recent video interview. The subjects include abortion, artificial insemination, birth, gender transitioning, menopause and, eventually, disease and death.

A subsidiary of Swiss drugmaker Roche, Genentech, accused a Novartis unit, Sandoz, of infringing one of its patents, according to a complaint filed in a New Jersey court Monday. The patent covers the drug Esbriet, which is used as a treatment for certain types of lung disease. Genentech said in the complaint that Sandoz's breach of the patent was "knowing, reckless, and willful" and had resulted in "significant damage " to its company. Roche has previously attempted to sue Sandoz over the same drug, but the lawsuit was thrown out in March 2022 after a U.S. judge found that parts of the Genentech patents were invalid. Shares in both Roche and Novartis were down 1.4% in the first hour of trading.

[1/2] Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, U.S., July 29, 2023. More than a dozen Republican voters interviewed on Wednesday unanimously said the new charges would not affect their 2024 election choice. These voters seemed to accept Trump's contention that he is being targeted by Democrats because he is a political threat. "The only way I'd vote for anyone other than Trump is if Trump dropped dead before the primaries, and I don't see that happening," Silver said. The Republican voters who spoke to Reuters appeared unmoved by arguments by Trump's rivals that he likely would lose a November 2024 rematch with Biden.

Russia said it needs to learn more about the talks set to happen in Saudi Arabia, which were first reported by the Wall Street Journal and not scheduled to include a Kremlin delegation. The discussions are designed to lead to international backing of a peace agreement, favoring Ukraine's position, the WSJ reported. When asked about the talks, Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov allegedly told reporters that Russia would follow the meeting, as the country needs to understand what goals are set and what will be discussed. "Any attempt to promote a peaceful settlement deserves a positive evaluation," Peskov said, according to a Reuters report. Peskov did, however, highlight that the Kremlin currently sees no grounds for peace negotiations with Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin leaves the site of the annual Navy Day parade on July 30, 2023, in St. Petersburg, Russia. Both Russia and Ukraine have stepped up talks with external governments in recent days as each side looks to involve allies. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday also praised his country's close friendship with North Korea and vowed to step up economic, political and security ties with the isolated state in a letter shared with President Kim Jong Un as Russian and Chinese delegates gathered in Pyongyang for Korean War Armistice celebrations. Putin said Friday that Moscow is ready to negotiate with Ukraine, but said Kyiv is unwilling to enter talks, Reuters reported. Ukrainian officials have said they will not enter negotiations with Russia while the country continues to hold a fifth of Ukrainian territory.

Today, entertainment options abound, and the writers at the heart of this documentary work within many artistic and intellectual traditions. The diverse group includes Jericho Brown, Jason Isbell, Lyle Lovett, Amanda Shires, Mary Steenburgen, Angie Thomas and Natasha Trethewey, among others. And often they are writing from a perspective that was almost entirely absent — or violently silenced — in the South of Ms. Welty and Ms. Lee. “There’s this erasure of people, this erasure of the past, this erasure of these lived histories. These are the narratives that get woven out of the glorification of the South as a moonlight-and-magnolias place.”Other storytellers in this documentary may seem, on the surface, to have almost nothing to do with the Southern past.

The FBI watched J. Robert Oppenheimer for months after he helped make the WWII-ending atomic bomb. Reports from the FBI show Oppenheimer was accused of Communism and spreading information to Russia. During the investigation, though, Pitzer said he had new doubts about Oppenheimer's loyalty to the country, due to his initial reservations about the development of the H-bomb. The Atomic Heritage Foundation does consider Oppenheimer likely to have held communist sympathies, but maintains that information in the report was exaggerated. At the end of the inquest, Oppenheimer's top-level security clearances were revoked, a devastating blow to the scientist.

"We're seeing a lot of tech vendors layering AI onto existing technologies," said Christian Beckner, vice president of retail technology and cybersecurity for the National Federation of Retailers, a Washington, D.C.-based trade association. said Dr. Read Hayes, director of the Loss Prevention Research Council, a think tank comprising researchers, retailers, technology companies, manufacturers and law enforcement professionals. And many of the crimes that are being classified as organized retail theft are not taking place in stores, but at various points throughout the supply chain and distribution systems that require their own solutions. It's now harnessing AI to analyze metadata from video images captured by cameras installed outside and inside of retail environments. Some retailers are using camera systems featuring facial recognition software to help identify criminals, despite legal and privacy concerns.
