Nick Butler, who worked for BP for nearly 30 years and was group vice-chairman of strategy and development, said the expected increases in the cap should be abandoned by industry regulator Ofgem, which said had been “overwhelmed by events” after Turmoil in global energy markets sent 29 British energy retailers to the wall. Butler is also calling for a “forensic review” of the remaining suppliers’ accounts to ensure they are still viable businesses....

The way the Cleveland Guardians bled him for five runs last weekend in a 7-2 victory, finding holes in pitches that beat them, was a prime example of why the Blue Jays went 11-11 in his first 22 starts . “It’s weird,” interim manager John Snyder said before the game. “When you put his stuff down, he’s really, really, really good. So part of it is I think everybody goes through these ups and downs, lucky, unlucky, whether you’re a hitter or a pitcher....

Authorities have not publicly identified the woman, but said she was hiking with a group of friends and suffered a fatal head injury in the fall. It’s still unclear what caused her to fall and where exactly she was when she fell, Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Chris Liedle said. Rescuers from the Corbett Sheriff’s Office and Fire Department received reports around 1:15 p.m. that a woman fell near Wiesendanger Falls and bystanders performed CPR, the sheriff’s office said in a statement....

But the federal appeals court didn’t buy that argument, finding that Barr never seriously considered charging Trump with obstructing Mueller’s investigation — saying in the ruling that the memo Barr ordered was an “academic exercise” and a “thought experiment ». Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation found several instances where Trump’s actions while president could qualify for an obstruction of justice charge, but Mueller left the decision up to Barr. Barr then told Congress that he was “consulting” with top Justice Department officials about whether there was enough evidence to show Trump committed obstruction....

In the main event, welterweight champion Kamaru Usman (20-1 MMA, 15-0 UFC) faces challenger Leon Edwards (19-3 MMA, 11-2 UFC) in a rematch. Usman won their first fight in 2015 in his first fight after winning “The Ultimate Fighter.” Usman was the first fighter on the scales in the official two-hour window and was 170 pounds on the nose. Edwards was right behind him and was also 170. In the co-main event, former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold (16-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) returns after a more than three-year layoff to face Paulo Costa (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) ....

“Selon notre analyse, 44,4% des décès par cancer dans le monde (…) sont imputables à un facteur de risque mesuré”, promeut cette étude, publiée dans The Lancet et réalisée dans le cadre du Global Burden of Disease. Ce programme de recherche massif, financé par la Fondation Bill Gates, est d’une ampleur sans précédent, impliquant plusieurs milliers de chercheurs dans la plupart des pays du monde. Ce travail permet donc une connaissance plus fine des facteurs de risque selon les régions du monde, même si, globalement, ses conclusions confirment ce que l’on savait déjà : le tabac est de loin le principal élément favorisant le cancer (33,9 % ) suivi de l’alcool (7,4%)....

Lacazette fit reparler la poudre. Deux semaines après avoir ouvert le bal de cette nouvelle saison de Ligue 1, l’Olympique Lyonnais avait une suite en tête. Privé d’un match par Lorient dimanche dernier, le club rhodanien a enchaîné avec un deuxième succès en championnat face à Troyes (4-1), ce vendredi, en ouverture de la 3e journée. Sans être exceptionnels malgré une bonne seconde période, les Gones ont mis les ingrédients nécessaires pour prendre assez nettement le dessus dans une équipe auboise défensivement surchargée....

Bilkis Bano was 19 and five months pregnant when she and her family were attacked during the 2002 Gujarat riots, where more than 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in the violence. The 11 men sentenced to life in prison in 2008 for rape, murder and unlawful assembly were released from prison in the western Indian state of Panchmahals on Monday. Media footage showed convicts offering sweets outside the prison....

Et si les personnes à risque sont éligibles à la vaccination préventive, de la part des associations, nous pensons que la campagne de vaccination est trop lente pour limiter la propagation du virus, avec la crainte évidente que l’épidémie échappe au contrôle des autorités. . . Et la prochaine pandémie ? “Loin du décompte” dans la vaccination Dans son avis du 7 juillet, la Haute Autorité de santé (HAS) recommande la vaccination préventive des personnes exposées à travers les pratiques sexuelles ou leur profession....

Sign up now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com Register Aug 19 (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin warned his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that the bombing of the Russian-controlled nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, which he blamed on Kyiv, could lead to a large-scale disaster. Moscow and Kyiv accuse each other of bombing Europe’s largest nuclear plant, which Russia seized in March but is still operated by Ukrainian technicians....

Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock was supposed to start this matchup over Geno Smith as the two continue to battle for the position, but the former Denver Bronco came down with COVID-19 this week, so Smith started in his place again. Smith played the entire first half, completing 10 of 18 passes for 112 yards, and recorded an up-and-down performance. Coach Pete Carroll said before the game that Smith would play in the third quarter, but the quarterback came out of the locker room after halftime with his right knee wrapped and Jacob Eason took over instead....

New video has surfaced online showing Russian military vehicles inside a turbine room attached to a nuclear reactor at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, where intense shelling has sparked fears of a nuclear disaster. CNN has located and confirmed the authenticity of the video, which began circulating on social media on Thursday. It is unclear when the video was taken. The video shows one of the six turbine rooms located on the western side of the nuclear plant, located in the southeastern city of Enerhodar....

He went on to say that “delaying the Senator’s testimony will not merely delay his appearance; it will also delay the disclosure of an entire class of relevant witnesses or information.” The filing was in response to Graham’s efforts to get a federal judge to stay an order requiring him to appear before a special purpose grand jury until he could appeal. Graham has argued that he should not be forced to testify before the grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 result in Georgia — where Democrat Joe Biden narrowly won the state — because his actions around the election of the state were related to legislative activity as then-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and should be protected by the Constitution’s speech and debate clause....

A three-judge panel from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued the unanimous decision Friday, upholding a lower court ruling last year that ruled the memo should be released. The Justice Department argued that the March 2019 memo — which was sent to Barr by the department’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) and another senior department official — was part of DOJ’s internal deliberations before a decision was made about the specialist’s investigation....

Previously, search warrant documents listed only federal statutes, including the general law known as the Espionage Act. And the documents released so far have made it clear that Trump and others around him face potential legal exposure, including possible obstruction of justice. But the specific language about “deliberate retention” could indicate the role of the former President, who would have been authorized to possess national defense documents while in office, but not since he retired to his private club and residence in Palm Beach, Florida....

Allen Weisselberg is accused of taking more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation from the Trump Organization over several years, including tax-free perks like rent, car payments and tuition. The deal would require Weisselberg to speak in court Thursday about the company’s role in the alleged compensation deal and potentially serve as a witness when the Trump Organization goes on trial in October on related charges, the people said. The two people were not authorized to speak publicly about the case and spoke on condition of anonymity....

Payton, USA TODAY FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Fort Lauderdale restaurant customer has died of a bacterial infection after eating raw oysters. A man from Pensacola, Florida died the same way this month.
