The country's central and northeast regions face the brunt of the extreme temperatures, which are not expected to peak until Sunday at the earliest and have sent public health officials scrambling. The sweltering heat has also increased the risk of blazes, such as the major Oak Fire, which broke out Friday in California near Yosemite National Park, where giant sequoias have already been threatened by fire in recent days. The Oak Fire -- described as "explosive" by officials -- went from 60 acres... Читать дальше...

Participants, who included foreign diplomats, condemned the text adopted in 2021 prohibiting "the representation or promotion" of LGBTQ among minors. "It's a tool to divide people and pit them against each other," said marketing expert Armin, who declined to give her last name. "To be honest (about the situation) it's quite depressing," said Pal Va, an 18-year-old... Читать дальше...

Jonas Vingegaard survived a near fall on Saturday's individual time-trial to virtually wrap up the 2022 Tour de France title and now only needs to cross the Champs-Elysees finish line in Paris on Sunday to guarantee the champion's yellow jersey.

The 37-year-old Briton, without a win after 11 races this year, will line up Sunday for his 300th race knowing he faces a struggle to close a significant performance deficit. Charles Leclerc of Ferrari, world champion Max Verstappen and his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez all qualified ahead of Hamilton. "They are in a place of their own," said Mercedes driver Hamilton. "But we are still here and everyone behind us is struggling so we just keep on fighting." He added that he was pleased to have... Читать дальше...

The 36-year-old Thomas came into the Tour as a chaperone to Ineos Grenadiers team co-captains Adam Yates and Dani Martinez, but ended way ahead of both. "Dani got sick so that was the end of him, Yatesey is sick now so it was down to me," said Thomas, who won the Tour in 2018. Team Jumbo's Vingegaard tops the overall standings ahead of Sunday's final stage to Paris, 3min 34sec ahead of two-time defending champion Pogacar, while Thomas stands third at 8min 13sec.

Biden, who is isolating at the White House, completed a second full day of Paxlovid on Friday night, his doctor Kevin O'Connor wrote in a memorandum to the White House press secretary. The US leader continues to experience a sore throat, runny nose, cough and body aches, but they are "less troublesome," O'Connor said. And his pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature "remain entirely normal." His oxygen saturation "continues to be excellent on room air," while his lungs are "clear," according to O'Connor. Читать дальше...

The 24-year-old Canadian led by three shots after back-to-back 64s, and she finished on 17-under par, two ahead of South Korean Ryu So-yeon. The only real disappointment was missing a short birdie putt at the par-five 18th hole. Henderson dropped her only shot of the day at the first, but made four birdies and holed a number crucial par putts. It seemed she could not miss until the three-footer at 18. "It wasn't as good as the first two days, but really hung in there," said Henderson, who was tipped... Читать дальше...

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague on Friday threw out all of Myanmar's objections to a case filed by the west African nation of The Gambia in 2019.

"Myanmar is disappointed that its preliminary objections were rejected," said a statement on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Facebook page. The junta argued its objections were legally strong...

Sainz, who was quickest in Friday practice, was handed grid penalties after Ferrari fitted a number of new engine parts to his car. Читать дальше...

Hundreds of people protested Saturday in Tunis against a draft constitution put forward by President Kais Saied, demanding his resignation two days before Tunisia votes on the disputed charter.

The referendum will take place a year to the day after Saied sacked the government and suspended parliament in a decisive blow against the country's often chaotic young democracy. "Get out", the demonstrators yelled as they waved Tunisia's red-and-white flag at a gathering on Habib Bourguiba Avenue in the capital. "The people want the fall of Kais Saied; the people want the fall of the constitution," chanted those who rallied in response to a call by the National Salvation Front (FSN) opposition alliance.

Concerns over Ronaldo's declining work-rate and his... Читать дальше...

A new US study is the latest to identify several factors that make some people more susceptible to long Covid than others. Yet with millions around the globe experiencing debilitating symptoms weeks or months after first being infected, the medical establishment does not yet understand why.

The Danish rider leads two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar by 3 mins 26 secs. Two years ago, Pogacar famously overturned a 57 second deficit on the penultimate day time trial on La Planche des Belles Filles to snatch Tour de France victory from Primoz Roglic. But Vingegaard is confident he has enough in the bank for Saturday's 41km individual time-trial to keep Pogacar behind him with just Sunday's ceremonial run into Paris to come. The Dane also dismissed any comparison with Roglic's penultimate day collapse in 2020. Читать дальше...
