The man started showing symptoms five days later and went to see a doctor. He tested positive for monkeypox on Friday night and is now self-isolating at home, Syachril said....

DP World, ultimately owned by Dubai’s royal family, said in March that sacking 786 P&O seafarers and replacing them with much cheaper agency workers was the only way to ensure the “future viability” of the historic ferry business. But on Thursday Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman and chief executive of DP World, announced that the company had increased first-half revenue by 60% to $7.9bn (£6.6bn) and profits had risen by more from 50% to $721....

Police have released few details about the incident, except that the Professional Standards unit began looking into the allegations five months ago. On Thursday, police announced that Det. Const. João Moco had been arrested. Moko, who has been in the service for 22 years, was charged with threats. He will appear in a Brampton court in October.

Le Mali à nouveau à l’attaque contre la France, cette fois devant les Nations Unies. Alors que le retrait de la force Barkhane s’est achevé en début de semaine, le ministre malien des Affaires étrangères a écrit une lettre au Conseil de sécurité de l’ONU pour dénoncer les violations de l’espace aérien malien. Abdoulaye Diop accuse également l’armée française de soutenir les djihadistes. L’information a été révélée par nos confrères de Jeune Afrique, mais RFI a également pu se procurer cette lettre....

The RAF strongly denied that it had acted in any way illegally with its recruitment practices. James Hippie, the armed forces minister, said any evidence of positive discrimination would be investigated and would not be tolerated. “We have asked all the Armed Forces to improve their diversity, but we will not accept courses that start anything but full, and we will not accept any lowering of standards and we will not accept any operational impact,” he said....

Not that directors Will Jessop and Barnaby Peel aren’t geniuses. They did a four-part series, micro-analyzing the circumstances of her death in the Alma Tunnel on August 31, 1997, stretching and pulling cellophane-like historical material over faded bouquets outside Kensington Palace. Only occasionally can you hear this heartbreaking sound. Again, we hear Earl Spencer’s eulogy. once again, Diana fakes looking over her shoulder in old snaps. once again, Tony Blair hitches New Labour’s pony to her celebrity bandwagon with his oxymoronic appeal to the people’s princess....

Having an emergency budget in September – in which she will make long-term funding commitments – was a key part of the frontrunner’s campaign to get into Number 10. The move was described as “worrying” by an economist and public finance expert, while the group behind Conservative leadership challenger Rishi Sunak accused Ms Truss of wanting to “avoid independent scrutiny”. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) provides forecasts for all budgets as part of the body’s founding Act, enacted in 2010....

September will die Kommission entscheiden, im Oktober stimmt dann der Bundestag ab. Von der Neuwahl sind alle zwölf Bezirke Berlins betroffen, insbesondere Pankow, Mitte und Reinickendorf. Dabei handelt es sich überwiegend um den zweiten Wahlgang – mit einer Ausnahme: Im Wahlkreis 77 in Reinickendorf soll auch die Wahl der Direktkandidaten wiederholt werden....

The latest shutdown comes a month after Gazprom restored gas supplies through the pipeline to just one-fifth of its capacity following an earlier shutdown for maintenance. Russia blamed the reductions through the pipeline on technical problems, but Germany called the shutdown a political move by the Kremlin to sow uncertainty and raise prices amid the conflict in Ukraine. Natural gas prices rose on Friday after the announcement and are now more than double what they were a year ago....

Between an interesting Tinder marketing campaign and plenty of positive reviews on social media, things are already looking strong for Marvel’s new superhero. Add to that the excitement that, unlike some of Marvel’s previous Disney+ shows, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law already has some major ties to the greater MCU, with Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner confirmed to appear as well as the long-awaited return of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, Another question many fans will surely have is whether She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will follow Marvel’s tradition of including mid-release or post-issue scenes in its episodes....

The Nothing Phone (1) was released earlier this year as the first smartphone from Carl Pei’s startup. There’s understandably been a lot of hype surrounding a new device from the OnePlus co-founder, and it’s had relatively good first impressions. The unique design, “glyph” lighting interface and solid software that Nothing showcases as the highlight of the device. However, the update commitment on the Nothing Phone (1) isn’t exactly top-notch. The device promises three years of major Android updates and four years of bi-monthly security updates....

In Corsica, a 13-year-old girl died when a tree fell on a campsite where she was staying, and a 72-year-old woman was killed when the roof of a beach hut blew off and hit her car.

The big picture: Katherine Schwab, of Fort Worth, Texas, pleaded guilty to knowingly entering a prohibited building or premises. She is the last of the three co-defendants to either plead guilty or be sentenced. Jenna Ryan, who bragged on Twitter that she wouldn’t go to jail, and Jason Lee Hyland, were sentenced to 60 days and seven days, respectively. What they say: Schwab wrote before the Capitol attack that “s**t is going to fall,” according to court documents....
