State highway patrol troopers and local law enforcement agents responded Thursday morning to an apparent attempt by an armed suspect to breach the FBI field office building in Cincinnati, Ohio. Details on the situation are unfolding, but at an early afternoon news conference, authorities confirmed there was still an active standoff going on. Earlier, officials said the incident began place around 9 a.m. The suspect, who has not yet been otherwise identified, raised alarms by allegedly attempting to break in through the visitor screening center. The FBI said the individual fled following an immediate response from special agents, and began traveling north on Interstate 71, prompting law enforcement to shut down roughly a one-mile stretch of a nearby highway and issue a lockdown warning for residents and businesses in the surrounding area. The man was spotted by a state trooper about 30 minutes after fleeing, changing course eastbound on the highway, officials said at the briefing. … [Read more...] about Armed man attempts to breach FBI field office in Cincinnati, authorities say

Wer soll von Lindners 10 Milliarden-Euro-Plänen profitieren?
In Deutschland plant der Finanzminister Steuererleichtungen in Höhe von 10 Milliarden Euro - um den Beschäftigen wegen der steigenden Preise unter die Arme zu greifen. Nicht alle halten die Vorschläge von Christian Lindner für gerecht. Doch Kanzler Olaf Scholz äußerte Zustimmung. Kampf gegen die "kalte Progression" Lindner erklärte, dass er vor allem die sogenannte "kalte Progression" bekämpfen wolle. Unter kalter Progression verstehen die Finanzfachleute schleichende Steuererhöhungen, die daraus entstehen, dass höhere Verdienste durch die Inflation aufgefressen werden, die Beschäftigten aber trotzdem mehr Steuern bezahlen müssen. Diese kalte Progression will Lindner ausgleichen. Profitieren die Reichen am meisten? Kritikerinnen und Kritiker seiner Pläne beklagen, dass wer mehr verdient und mehr Steuern zahlt von Lindners Plänen auch stärker profitiert. So sagte der stellvertretende Grünen-Fraktionschef Andreas Audretsch: "Steuersenkungen in Milliardenhöhe, von … [Read more...] about Wer soll von Lindners 10 Milliarden-Euro-Plänen profitieren?
U.S. monkeypox cases surpass 10,000 as CDC still aims for “containment”
More than 10,000 Americans have now tested positive in the monkeypox outbreak across the U.S., according to figures published late Wednesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as federal health officials say they are still racing to contain the virus. Cases have been reported in every state but Wyoming while 15 states and the District of Columbia have reported more than a hundred cases. The largest numbers are in New York, California and Florida. No U.S. deaths have so far been reported, out of the 12 monkeypox fatalities the World Health Organization has tallied so far this year. Health officials say the virus is mostly spreading through close interactions between men who have sex with men, either through direct skin-to-skin contact or shared linens like towels and bedding. However, the CDC has tallied at least 50 cases in people who were female at birth, including at least one pregnant woman . A handful of suspected infections have also been … [Read more...] about U.S. monkeypox cases surpass 10,000 as CDC still aims for “containment”
I spent the weekend at ‘Poshstock’ with 10,000 Sloanes in glitter and top hats
Look, I’m not really a festival person. I’ve hated tents ever since my Duke of Edinburgh Award when I got lost in the Chilterns. I hate the sticky sensation of being unclean. Not a big fan of crowds. Don’t like warm beer. So I’ve avoided Wilderness – a decidedly upmarket festival in Oxfordshire – for several years because it looked, well, terrifically silly. A whole load of posh people drinking, dancing and shouting their heads off while wearing pheasant feathers in their hats? Not for me. I get enough of that at my family Christmas. But when a friend suggested we go this year because we could stay in her sister’s house, ten minutes from the Oxfordshire estate on which Wilderness is held, I thought “why not?” A taxi in and out every day. No camping. The possibility of a bath at the end of the night. Surely even I could handle that? The festival’s been running since 2011 and is nicknamed “Poshstock” for the crowd it attracts: mostly 20- and 30-somethings who look like they could … [Read more...] about I spent the weekend at ‘Poshstock’ with 10,000 Sloanes in glitter and top hats
Gary Neville is dragged into Ryan Giggs’ court case as messages and emails are read to the jury
Gary Neville has been brought into Ryan Giggs' domestic abuse court case as Whatsapp messages and emails were read to the court. Manchester Crown Court was told that Giggs met Kate Greville in 2013 after she helped promote his Hotel Football venue, launched with ex-United teammate Neville. The 48-year-old is accused of using controlling and coercive behaviour. As well as 'bombarding' Ms Greville, she claims, with up to 50 messages an hour and threatened to ruin her career. She then later joined Giggs' company GG Hospitality, owned by him and his former Manchester United team-mate, in 2019 and emails from that time sent from Giggs' mobile phone and Ms Greville's work laptop were read to the court. She claims he would get jealous and emails show he accused her of sending private messages and dating a man who also worked for the same firm owned by Giggs. It was also mentioned during the trial that Neville's assistant was present for an argument the couple had during a dinner … [Read more...] about Gary Neville is dragged into Ryan Giggs’ court case as messages and emails are read to the jury
US Senate passes Biden’s $454bn Inflation Reduction Act
US Senators voted through the night to push through the Inflation Reduction Act – a flagship measure tackling climate change, tax and healthcare. After a marathon session the bill was finally passed on Sunday night, with the aid of vice president Kamala Harris exercising her casting vote. The bill, which still has to clear the House of Representatives, had been heavily scaled down from the $3.5 trillion package which was presented to Congress in the early days of the Biden administration. President Joe Biden and his allies were forced to ditch many of their pledges because of the opposition of two Democrats – Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema – in the evenly divided Senate. The $454 billion (£376 billion) should be on the president’s desk within a few weeks. Although if it is far more modest than Democrats had hoped – the passage of a key bill is a welcome boost for Mr Biden, whose poll ratings have plummeted over the past year. It is estimated that the climate … [Read more...] about US Senate passes Biden’s $454bn Inflation Reduction Act

When Biden Went to China
On April 19, 1979, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware was in Beijing, meeting with China’s paramount leader, Deng Xiaoping, when he put Washington’s nascent friendship with the Communists to the test. That Biden was sitting there at all was remarkable. The United States and China had been implacable foes for decades. In Washington, Deng and his cadres were seen as a dangerous arm of the Red menace, their conquest of China 30 years earlier bitterly lamented as its “loss” to godless Communism. In Beijing, the Americans were viewed as merciless imperialists, defenders of the Nationalists, the Communists’ mortal enemy ensconced on the island of Taiwan. In 1971, when National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger initially broke the ice with the Chinese Communists, he had to sneak into Beijing secretly. Biden arrived quite publicly as part of a five-member delegation from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. His six-day tour included visits to a school, factories, and a commune. Still, … [Read more...] about When Biden Went to China
