Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 14:42:04 GMT
LONDON (AP) — The U.K. economy grew sluggishly during the first three months of the year as double-digit inflation curbed consumer spending and labor unrest curtailed output in industries ranging from transportation to healthcare and education.Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic activity, increased 0.1% in the first quarter compared with the previous three months, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. The figure matched the growth rate during the fourth quarter of last year and was in line with economic forecasts.The figures come a day after the Bank of England approved a 12th consecutive interest rate increase as it struggles to curb inflation that has remained at around 10% since July. The bank also upgraded its economic outlook, saying the “underlying picture is more positive” than it was earlier this year.“Let’s be clear, whilst the Bank of England may believe the U.K. economy will now avoid the predicted recession entirely, the country is not in g...DeSantis firma un proyecto de ley que bloquea los registros de viajes estatales de la divulgación pública

(CNN) — El gobernador de Florida, el republicano Ron DeSantis, promulgó este jueves un proyecto de ley que exime los registros relacionados con sus viajes de la sólida ley de divulgación pública del estado.Según la nueva ley, las agencias de aplicación de la ley tendrían prohibido compartir cualquier registro relacionado con la seguridad y los viajes del gobernador, así como los de “las personas para quienes el gobernador solicita dichos servicios”. El lenguaje expansivo podría permitir que la administración DeSantis mantenga en secreto los viajes organizados por la oficina del gobernador, incluso cuando él no estuviera involucrado.La ley surge inmediatamente después de los recientes viajes del gobernador a estados clave de las primarias republicanas e Israel, y los críticos han denunciado la legislación como un intento de evitar que salga información perjudicial sobre los viajes de DeSantis justo cuando se espera que anuncie una campaña para presidente.Las leyes más controver...Rolling with Jokic-Murray combo, Nuggets prepare for Western Conference finals

PHOENIX (AP) — Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone said it was around December when he thought this could be a championship-caliber team.Jamal Murray was a believer even sooner. Like in 2019.“When we’re healthy, we know what we can do,” Denver’s point guard said. “We just need everyone on the court. We’ve always had the potential.”After watching the Nuggets steamroll the Suns in Game 6 to clinch the Western Conference semifinals, it’s hard to argue with him. Nikola Jokic scored 32 points and finished with a triple-double, Murray added 26 and the Nuggets are off to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2020 after beating the Phoenix Suns 125-100 in Game 6 to clinch the series. Denver has never made the NBA Finals.The top-seeded Nuggets will play the winner of the Lakers-Warriors series. The Lakers have a 3-2 lead.No matter who advances in the other series, the Nuggets will likely get less press than their opponent.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — It wasn’t long after the Carolina Hurricanes had closed out a second playoff opponent when defenseman Brent Burns began heaping praise on the team’s forwards for making it easy for the defensemen to jump into the offense.One of those forwards, Jesper Fast, sat to his right and couldn’t hold back. “Well,” Fast said, “you make it pretty easy for us as well.”The Hurricanes weren’t supposed to be able to do this: advancing in the playoffs after a series of injuries hit their forward group to sideline some of their most naturally talented goal-scorers. Yet the collective approach has worked so well that the Hurricanes are finding the net more frequently than they did in the regular season despite being down in bodies — and now has them in the Eastern Conference finals.“It’s really a five-man group,” Burns said after Thursday’s 3-2 overtime win in Game 5 to eliminate the New Jersey Devils. “We talk about that.

(CNN) — US Food and Drug Administration on Thursday paved the way for more gay and bisexual men to donate blood by finalizing new risk-based recommendations for blood donation. Going forward, prospective donors will be asked the same set of questions regardless of their sex or sexual orientation.Before the FDA began taking a second look at its guidance several years ago, gay and bisexual men had faced a lifetime ban on blood donation, a move that many said was discriminatory. The most recent policy recommended that men who have sex with men wait three months after sexual contact with other men before they could donate blood.The policy changes eliminate deferrals and screening questions specific to men who have sex with men (MSM) and women who have sex with MSM. It brings the United States in line with other countries such as the UK and Canada, which have also implemented risk-based rules.“It’s going to make a donation more inclusive. It ensures that all donors are ...FEWER SHOWERS FOR MOM

Happy Friday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone had a great week! The last few days have been very quiet for our area as South Florida got to enjoy dry conditions, beautiful blue skies and a nice breeze from time to time. And if all that weren’t pleasant enough, we also enjoyed low humidity all week long! And while conditions earlier this morning were just as quiet, one thing is for sure. Humidity levels have been gradually increasing across our area through the last few days, each day with a touch more humidity than the day before. However, this morning South Florida once again enjoyed a very quiet start under warm and muggy conditions.Days ago an expansive area of high pressure moved into our area and has practically dominated our weather pattern all week long. After days of blocking storm systems from moving into our area, this area of high pressure will slowly begin to weaken as we work our way into the weekend. In the meantime, on this last day of the week, South Florida will o...3 fishermen rescued after boat capsizes off Key Biscayne coast
