There is a silver lining to Ford’s ugly Q3 2022 update. Leon Neal/Getty Images Ford Motor said parts shortages and inflation will leave it with third-quarter operating profit well below consensus estimates. However, Wall Street doesn’t seem that worried about Ford (ie: F) or its ilk. There are even some positives to take away from Ford’s stunning display. In Monday’s disclosure, Ford said it would not finish 40,000 to 45,000 of the higher-margin trucks and SUVs it had planned to produce until the end of the third quarter....

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ), openDemocracy and the Telegraph received several “preliminary action” letters between May and August, claiming their reports were inaccurate and caused financial losses to a UK-registered company. A claim was subsequently filed in the high court on August 16, but the publishers have yet to be served. The legal action has reignited the debate over whether strategic public participation lawsuits (Slapps) are being used to silence public interest journalism....

Posté à 12h00 Henri Ouellette-Vézina La Presse « Entre 2010 et 2016, le gouvernement du Québec a financé 60 % des besoins en infrastructures d’eau. Aujourd’hui, il n’est que de 24 % et ne touche que les besoins de base, même si les besoins augmentent rapidement », déplore la responsable de l’eau au comité exécutif de la ville de Montréal, Maja Vodanovic. Elle, qui est aussi la mairesse de Lachin, estime à 680 millions le déficit en infrastructures vertes pour couvrir les besoins, qui vont inévitablement augmenter dans les années à venir....

„Die Pandemie ist vorbei“, sagte US-Präsident Joe Biden kürzlich in einem Interview. Experten warnen hingegen derzeit vor der nächsten Herbstwelle, während auch in Österreich der Trend der Neuinfektionen zunimmt. Aber was ist es jetzt? Ist die Pandemie vorbei? Und was ist im Herbst bzw. in den kommenden Monaten von Sars-CoV-2 zu erwarten? Der Unterschied zu den ersten beiden Herbstpandemien liege im Immunitätsstatus der österreichischen Bevölkerung, erklärt Dorothee von Laer, Virologin an der Medizinischen Universität Innsbruck....

Committee aides did not say whether they had further engagements with Trump or former Vice President Mike Pence regarding the deposition. Pence said this summer that he would “consider” testifying before the committee. Representative Bennie Thompson, the committee chairman, said last month that the committee plans to produce an interim report in mid-October, with a final report due before the end of the year, after the midterm elections. The commission held a series of public hearings over the summer that were also broadcast nationally....

Three Venezuelan immigrants represented by civil rights attorneys in Massachusetts accused DeSantis of violating several federal laws and the U.S. Constitution, asking a federal district court in Boston to bar Florida from “inducing immigrants to travel beyond states through fraud and misrepresentation’. Venezuelan asylum seekers also asked the court to award them and several dozen other migrants who landed on Martha’s Vineyard last week monetary damages for the emotional trauma they say they suffered as a result of being transported to the Massachusetts island....

Part of the congressional hearing focused on the production of natural gas and oil companies. TANNEN MAURY/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Dimon’s comments came during a House hearing where the far-left Michigan Democrat asked him and other top bank executives if they would commit to no longer investing in oil and gas companies to slow climate change. “Please answer with a simple yes or no, does your bank have a policy against financing new oil and gas products,” Tlaib asked, leading to Dimon....

Des images de la traversée d’Oskil (Ukraine) sont apparues sur les réseaux sociaux le 18 septembre 2022, avant qu’elle ne soit prise par le commandement stratégique des forces ukrainiennes.

Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, claimed that the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR) would have their interests protected if they became part of Russia. “The referendums in Donbass are necessary, not only for the systematic protection of the residents of the LPR, DPR and other liberated regions, but also for the restoration of historical justice,” Medvedev said in a Telegram message. “Trespassing on the territory of Russia is a crime, the commission of which allows you to use all the forces of self-defense,” said former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev....

The plan to scrap the corporate tax hike ignores the hard lessons of recent history – when investment has stagnated despite extremely low rates – and is not even favored by business leaders, says the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). Instead, it requires a strategy that goes beyond taxation to boost investment and productivity by tackling chronic problems in housing, energy, transport, skills and childcare. “Corporate tax cuts are just the continuation of a failed race to the bottom that has not paid off for the UK economy,” said George Dibb, head of the Center for Economic Justice at IPPR....

For Carlos Pardo, construction manager on the hardest part of the $11.2 billion, 670-kilometre Coast GasLink pipeline that will connect the gas fields of eastern B.C. along the Pacific coast, it’s a rare sunny day. “I don’t often get a chance to really see what we’re up against,” he mutters as he scans the rinks overhead. “It really doesn’t get more extreme than that.” Pardo is under huge pressure to get the pipeline – now more than two-thirds complete – through the mountains to a $40 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant under construction in the coastal city of Kitimat....

An approaching storm threatens to delay NASA’s next launch attempt for the New Moon rocket, already grounded for weeks by fuel leaks. A tropical depression in the southern Caribbean is moving toward Florida and could become a major hurricane. Managers said Friday that the rocket is ready to launch Tuesday on its first unmanned test flight after overcoming more hydrogen leaks during a fueling test earlier in the week. NASA said it would continue to monitor the forecast and decide by Saturday whether to not only delay the launch, but withdraw the rocket from the pad and return it to the hangar....

Meaghan Darrach and her husband bought their home just north of Grafton, Ont., last August for just over $500,000 with no strings attached. “We were faced with two other offers,” Darrach said. At the time, the market was “crazy” and he said they had already looked at about 20 other houses. This was their third bid. “Everyone has been bidding so far [asking] and the houses stayed on the market for two days....

Majewski, who is running against Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, claimed he was deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and faced harsh conditions, including not being able to shower for 40 days due to lack of running water.

Senior department officials have not made a final decision on whether to charge Gaetz, but it is rare for such a tip to be rejected, these people told The Washington Post, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the discussions. They added that it is always possible that additional evidence will emerge that could change prosecutors’ understanding of the case. But federal authorities are unlikely to charge Gaetz with a crime in an investigation that began in late 2020 and focused on his alleged involvement with a 17-year-old several years earlier....
