It is, in short, a disaster. Others lambasted the apparent sexism and ageism in the decision to remove a 58-year-old woman at the top of her game, especially after her predecessor, Lloyd Robertson, was allowed to stay on until he was 77. I’m more impressed by how worldly dumb it was. Cockups of this scale only come around once a generation, so it’s only fitting that we all take a moment out of our busy days to reflect on its magnificence....

Fetterman and his team responded by questioning the strategy, calling it “grotesque” and suggesting it’s even worse than politics as usual.

Of course, polio exists in other parts of the world. A global campaign to eradicate it has been working on this grueling task since 1988. Last year, the polio virus caused paralysis—which cannot be treated or cured—in two countries where it was never fought and in 21 others where it recovered. Disease experts, however, were not surprised to see its re-emergence in Western nations. For years they have watched protection against the disease undermined by funding cuts, vaccine reluctance, forgetfulness — and the insidious nature of the virus....

With record numbers of backlogs at magistrates and crown courts in England and Wales, the shadow attorney general, Emily Thornberry, said more junior prosecutors were “not being used to their full potential” in crown courts because of an “unnecessary and outdated legal constraint ». There are 127 criminal law specialists employed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) as associate prosecutors. They handle less contentious cases at court level, such as bail applications by defendants, uncontested applications for civil injunctions and criminal proceedings relating to less serious non-custodial offences....

Putin’s decree did not specify whether the expansion would be achieved by expanding the military, recruiting more volunteers or both. But some Russian military analysts predicted a greater reliance on volunteers because of Kremlin concerns about a possible domestic backlash from an expanded camp. The move will boost Russia’s armed forces to a total of 2.04 million, including 1.15 million troops. Western estimates of Russian dead in the Ukraine war range from more than 15,000 to more than 20,000 – more than the Soviet Union lost during its 10-year war in Afghanistan....

Seven shots ahead midway through his second round, Scheffler held just a two-shot lead over Xander Schauffele heading into the weekend and then sat neutral Saturday on a hot, rainy day that was interrupted twice by weather suspensions. The final horn, at 6:38 p.m. ET, due to lightning in the area, was enough to end play for the day. Fifteen players in the 29-man field have completed their third round....

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed that the “multi-pill” effectively prevented secondary adverse cardiovascular events in people who had previously had a heart attack, reducing cardiovascular mortality by 33 percent in this patient population. “The polypill, which is a very simple strategy combining three main treatments for this type of patient, has proven to be worthwhile because improved adherence means that these patients receive better treatment and therefore have a lower risk of recurrent cardiovascular events,” the researcher said....

Eugen Sabau, 46, shot three of his colleagues at the security services company where he worked in the northeastern city of Tarragona, then wounded a police officer while fleeing.

The cryptocurrency market was having an uneventful week amid this summer slump — until Friday, when the world’s top cryptocurrency fell 4% in 24 hours. The drop in prices was sparked by Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell’s remarks in Jackson Hole that the Fed would continue to raise interest rates as long as needed to fight inflation. The comments also spooked stocks, not just crypto. To kick off the weekend, all of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization are net losers over the past seven days, except for Cardano (ADA), which expects a hard fork to come next month....
