Switzerland’s La Tribune reported that the pilot and co-pilot had an argument shortly after takeoff and grabbed each other by the collars after one apparently hit the other. The cabin crew intervened and a crew member walked the Geneva to Paris flight into the cockpit with the pilots, the report said. A spokesman for the France-based carrier said the altercation was “completely inappropriate behaviour”. The flight continued and landed safely, the official said, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to safety after several recent incidents that alerted regulators....

The long-running case began in April 2019, when the House Oversight and Reform Committee first requested a trove of records from Trump’s then-accounting firm, Mazars USA. The committee cited testimony from Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, that he said raised questions about the president’s representation of his financial affairs when it came to seeking loans and paying taxes. Under the deal, Trump agreed to end his legal challenges to the subpoena and Mazars USA agreed to provide responsive documents to the committee as soon as possible, said Democratic Rep....

Les champions olympiques français étant déjà qualifiés pour les huitièmes de finale (il faudra attendre la fin de ce tour initial avant de connaître l’identité de l’adversaire, ainsi que le lieu) avant cette partie, Andrea Giani, le coach italien des Bleus, a logiquement aligné un second six de départ, exception faite de Barthélémy Chinenyeze.

Both clock speeds and power consumption are up, as we knew they would be, with the highest turbo clock going to the R9 7950X at 5.7GHz and the four announced SKUs ranging from 105W to 170W TDP. One assumes that 65W non-X components with lower clocks will follow at some point. In terms of performance, we’re waiting for independent testing, but AMD seems confident in its IPC increases, which are reportedly about 13% higher compared to Zen 3, with an overall increase per core (including higher clocks and the move to faster DDR5 memory) which brings this up to a “29% overall single-thread performance gain”....

The US space agency was originally scheduled to launch on Monday (29 August) a rocket capable of landing astronauts on the moon for the first time in 50 years, but decided to cancel the flight at the last minute due to a fuel leak and engine trouble. At a media briefing Tuesday, NASA officials said the experience was helpful in troubleshooting and that additional difficulties could be encountered in the midst of a second launch attempt....

“In Europe, we should have only one priority,” De Croix told a news conference. “Only at the European level will we be able to reduce prices.” He added: “Only the European Union can stop the bleeding.” Belgium is the latest EU country to introduce reforms to cap prices at national level, and EU energy ministers are due to meet on September 9 to discuss solutions at European level. Since Russia launched the war in Ukraine, the Belgian prime minister has been a staunch supporter of introducing an EU-wide gas price cap, warning last week that “the next five to 10 winters will be difficult”....

Leading the news: “While my symptoms have improved, I will be resting at home in El Paso per doctors’ advice,” O’Rourke tweeted. “I’m sorry I’ve had to postpone events because of this, but I promise to get back on the road with you as soon as I can.” The big picture: O’Rourke is trailing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (D) in the polls ahead of the November election. Go deeper: O’Rourke blasts Abbott supporter who laughed during Uvalde’s remarks...

But when the committee released its recommendation in June, it only addressed whether Mr. Johnson had “misled the House,” reducing the burden of proof. Government sources on Thursday night argued that if the committee was a quango, it would be “trialled and found guilty”, but because parliamentary work is protected by privilege, there is no way to stop proceedings. “There’s the problem of testifying anonymously, the problem of not knowing what the case is against you, and the problem of not having legal representation,” they said....

Rainfall during the English autumn is expected to fall by between 4 and 12 per cent by the end of the century. Instead, storms are forecast to increase in intensity, the Telegraph reported, although these will not mitigate the impact of long-term dry spells....

Zwölf Minuten vor dem Rücktritt der UN-Hochkommissarin für Menschenrechte, Michelle Bachelet, veröffentlichte sie ihren lang erwarteten Bericht. Auf 48 Seiten schildert der 70-Jährige “schwere Menschenrechtsverbrechen” der chinesischen Regierung in Xinjiang, die sogar “Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit” gleichkommen könnten. Dies wäre nicht nur einer der schwersten völkerrechtlichen Vergehen, sondern würde unweigerlich die internationale Staatengemeinschaft in die Pflicht nehmen. “Das ist kein innenpolitisches Problem”, twitterte Patricia Flor, Deutschlands neue Botschafterin in Peking: “Der Kampf gegen den Terrorismus kann keine Menschenrechtsverbrechen rechtfertigen....
