And the world has soured on President Joe Biden despite it all. Tuesday’s midterm elections could stymie the Democratic president with a Republican-controlled Congress, and polls and public opinion polls suggest a gloomy mood around economic issues is pushing voters in that direction. It is a fact of American politics that the party in the White House competes in the congressional races held every two years between presidential contests. It’s a fact right now that there’s a roaring, real-time mismatch between the president’s 40% approval rating and broader economic conditions that are mixed at worst — with high inflation the focus for many, but also one of the strongest labor markets in decades and an unemployment rate of 3....

The strike vote among more than 300,000 members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) was the biggest ever in the union’s 106-year history. Although counting is still ongoing, it is understood RCN officials believe enough members have voted in favor of winter industrial action which is due to take place within a few weeks, possibly before Christmas. RCN general secretary Pat Cullen said: “Our strike action will be for both patients and nurses – we have their support in this....

On pourrait continuer longtemps cette liste : les “bandes de chaleur”, ou “bandes de réchauffement global” en français, sont éparpillées un peu partout depuis leur création en 2018 par le climatologue britannique Ed Hawkins, 45 ans. “Je n’aurais jamais imaginé que j’assisterais un jour à la Fashion Week de Londres ou que je participerais à un shooting pour un maillot de football. Ce n’est pas sur la liste des activités habituelles d’un climatologue”, dit-il....

Onze choses que vous ignorez peut-être sur Twitter Le milliardaire libertaire tient particulièrement à desserrer les contraintes de contenus : “L’oiseau est libre”, s’est-il félicité jeudi soir pour fêter le rachat du réseau social. Ce qui inquiète les travailleurs, de nombreux usagers et ONG, qui font plutôt appel aux réseaux sociaux pour mieux lutter contre les abus, le harcèlement et la désinformation. Twitter, qui comptait 238 millions d’utilisateurs quotidiens dits “actifs” à fin juin, attire certes une audience moins importante qu’un géant comme Facebook, mais de nombreux décideurs politiques, entreprises et médias....

Chiroque told CNN on Friday that 140 travelers in total have been released. Earlier, Wadson Trujillo, a leader of the Cuninico community, confirmed to Peruvian local media RRP that his community stopped the boats in an effort to pressure the government to take action on the oil spill, which has disrupted water supplies. They were asking the government to declare a state of emergency over the oil spill. Among the tourists released Friday was Angela Ramirez, a 28-year-old woman from Trujillo, Peru....

Steven Paston | PA Images | Getty Images The PGA Tour has suspended 17 golfers, including major championship winners Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, who are competing Thursday in the Saudi-backed LIV golf event near London. The suspensions are indefinite. The players “did not receive the necessary conflicting event and media rights release — or did not apply for releases at all,” according to an internal PGA memo. The PGA will also suspend any future tour players who play in LIV events, says the memo, which is dated Thursday....

Scientists at MirZyme Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company, believe they have developed a drug that when given to women from the 20th week of pregnancy could prevent them from developing the condition. Pre-eclampsia puts the lives of thousands of mothers-to-be and their babies at risk in the UK every year and has no treatment options. Globally, it affects between 2% and 8% of pregnancies and kills up to half a million babies and 100,000 women annually....

Two tickets bought in California — one in Ontario and one in Milpitas — had 5/5 of the numbers, but only missed the Powerball number. The 5/5 tickets each carry a prize of $1.04 million, according to the California Lottery. Having that one extra number — the Powerball of 23 — would have jumped that payout to $1.2 billion. RELATED: Numbers drawn for $1.2 billion Powerball Instead of no winner, Saturday’s prize now rises to $1....

The €9 pass (equivalent to around £7.80) was introduced as an experiment over the summer in a bid to entice people to use public transport and help tackle rising inflation. The decision on the new Deutschland Ticket came after a meeting between the federal government and the leadership of Germany’s 16 states to determine who would cover the cost of the subsidized ticket and how expensive it should be. Transport experts welcomed the news, which follows months of controversy over the successor to the €9 pass, whose progress has been tracked by transport watchers around the world and spawned a series of analytical studies....

Members of a focus group organized by UK More in Common for the Guardian described Sunak as “the money man” with a CV that proved he was the “best of a bad bunch” of Tory leadership candidates. “He looks capable and seems to have the ability to move it [Conservative] party forward,” said Steve, who questioned why the Tories did not vote for him in the first leadership election over his predecessor, Liz Truss....

Mark Menzies, the MP for Fylde, challenged the business secretary to start drilling in North East Somerset before imposing fracking in other constituencies. Menzies’ constituency is one of the worst affected by shale gas drilling, with seismic events in the Fylde, home to Cuadrilla’s Preston New Road site, twice prompting national moratoriums. “I think the Secretary of State has shale gas in his constituency,” he said. “It would be great for him to lead by example on this, so why doesn’t he ensure that the first shale wells are fracked in his constituency and why not?...

Quelques-unes des vingt-sept éoliennes déjà installées dans le parc à l’extérieur de Saint-Nazaire. (GRÉGOIRE LECALOT / RADIO FRANCE) “Quatre-vingts fondations ont été posées en un an seulement”, déclare Céline Beaudon, chef de projet pour EDF Renouvelables, qui a du mal à cacher sa fierté : “Nous avons un mois d’avance sur le calendrier.” Déjà 27 éoliennes ont été installées sur ces fondations. Les câbles censés former une toile d’araignée sous-marine sont posés....
