The dollar’s role as a safe haven for investors worried about the economic outlook has eroded in recent weeks, with the US currency roaring to two-decade highs against many currencies. The euro is particularly vulnerable given the impact of the continued rise in gas prices on the regional economy and the war in neighboring Ukraine, as well as with the European Central Bank trailing rivals in raising interest rates.

Laut dem Marktforscher Counterpoint Research dominiert die Facebook-Gruppe rund 80 % des weltweiten VR-Brillen-Geschäfts. (Foto: Bloomberg) Das Meta-Tech-Team von San Francisco entfernt die Anforderung, ein Facebook-Konto für VR-Brillen von Oculus zu verwenden. Ab August sei es möglich, sich für die Geräte mit einem neuen Meta-Account zu registrieren, die Nutzung eines Facebook-Kontos sei nicht mehr nötig, teilte das Unternehmen am Donnerstag mit. Dies könnte den Weg für einen Markt in Deutschland ebnen....

In the first two rows were some of the MP’s supporters. Mordaunt might have hoped for a rather more stellar line-up from Andrea Leadsom, David Davis, Maria Miller and Sarah Atherton – not to mention underdogs like Michael Fabricant and James Gray. However, it does have George Freeman, the new Oliver Letwin who is so indecisive he has an existential crisis just choosing what to eat for breakfast, and Charles Walker, the sweetest and kindest MP....

The delegation had slowly grown throughout Wednesday afternoon. Nadhim Zahawi, who had accepted the chancellorship less than 24 hours earlier, Home Secretary Priti Patel, Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Cabinet Secretary Kit Malthouse, Welsh Secretary Simon Hart and Transport Secretary Grant Shapps they were all present at various points. Even Simon Clarke, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and one of Johnson’s staunchest supporters since the early days of his leadership campaign, joined in by phone....

I could be wrong but I don’t recall Nicola Sturgeon saying the Scots were more humane than the English. But the message was clear – at least to this viewer. Of course, it was all incredible, especially in relation to immigration, where the Prime Minister and her ministers tried to perpetuate the myth that immigrants are more welcome in Scotland than in England. This is simply not true and there is no evidence to support the claim....

Strong winds and hot, dry weather are frustrating the efforts of French firefighters to contain a massive fire that tore through pine forests in the Bordeaux region for a fifth straight day on Saturday, one of several burning across Europe this week. Among the worst fires were in Portugal, where the pilot of a firefighting plane died on Friday when his plane crashed while on an operation in the northeast....

“Primetime covered this story heavily on Monday, lobbied, and now we’re glad that justice is being served,” Watters claimed before showing several clips from that day’s show. The final clip cuts before the Fox host says that if “the mainstream media and the president of the United States [are] if we catch another hoax then that is absolutely disgraceful and fits a pretty dangerous pattern of politically timed disinformation.” Waters then turned his attention to Dr....

Einsame Entscheidungen Diese Arroganz der Politik zeige deutlich, wie notwendig eine Diskussion sei, um die Tourismusverbände in die Kärntner Werbung einzubeziehen, betonte Petrich. Es ist nicht hinnehmbar, dass Tourismusunternehmen mit ihren Steuern und Abgaben die Werbung für Kärnten finanzieren, sondern dass die Politik Einzelentscheidungen ohne Einbeziehung der Kostenträger und Betroffenen trifft, die sowohl zeitlich als auch formal sehr fragwürdig sind. „Bis heute weiß die Kärntner Tourismusbranche nichts über das Gesicht, die Fähigkeiten, die Einstellung oder die Konzepte des neuen Geschäftsführers....

Rajapaksa, who is due to formally step down on Wednesday after months of protests calling for him to step down, was reportedly trying to flee to Dubai on Monday night. But officials said immigration staff refused to let the president into the airport’s VIP area to get his passport stamped and would not go through regular lines for fear of being mobbed by the public. As a result, Rajapaksa reportedly missed four flights to the United Arab Emirates and he and his wife had to return to a nearby military base....

Der Niederländer Verstappen behält zwar mit 38 Punkten Vorsprung die Führung in der Gesamtwertung, Leclerc schob sich durch seinen dritten Saisonsieg allerdings auf Rang zwei nach vorne und verdrängte den zweiten Red-Bull-Fahrer Sergio Pérez. Der Mexikaner kam wegen eines technischen Defekts nicht ins Ziel. Feuer-Schock für Sainz Erneut keine Punkte gab es auch für Alfa-Sauber. Valtteri Bottas war nach Arbeiten am Auto aus der Boxengasse gestartet und lag kurz vor Schluss gar noch auf Rang zehn, am Ende ging der Finne als Elfter doch leer aus....

Dobbs was remanded in custody. His next appearance is on July 26. A publication ban has been put in place for information raised during the bail hearing. A Guelph man was arrested and faces a charge of second-degree murder after human remains were found Wednesday afternoon, Guelph police say. On Monday, Guelph police received information that a homicide had occurred Sunday inside a downtown apartment. The investigation led police Wednesday to a location near the intersection of Wellington Street East and Wyndham Street South where the remains of an adult man were found behind a business....

What does Elon Musk want? What is his vision for the future? These questions are hugely important because the decisions Elon Musk makes—unilaterally, undemocratically, in the relatively small bubble of unknown tech billionaires—will very likely impact the world you and I, our children and grandchildren, end up living in. there. Musk is currently the richest man on the planet and, if only because of that fact, one of the most powerful people in all of history....

In a blog titled: “What do policy makers do all day?” – a nod to children’s author Richard Scarry – presented his approach to working in government earlier this year. “The way I now think of a policy professional is as an ‘orchestrator,’” he said. Mills, who previously oversaw labor market policy and before that electricity market reform, now faces the job of orchestrating his life. His appointment reflects growing concerns about Britain’s energy supplies in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine....

The leadership hopeful explained how she effectively ended her husband’s political career when she was made vice-chairman of candidates for the Conservative Party shortly after getting elected as MP for Saffron Walden in 2017. During virtual hustings, organised by the publication Conservative Home, candidates were asked how they would reunite the party and country as well as win back public trust. Responding to the question, Mrs Badenoch said: “In terms of demonstrating integrity it’s ‘show don’t tell’....
