Jobs growth in the US appears to have been weaker than previously understood last year, the Labor Department said Wednesday, an update that enflamed an already heated debate about the state of the US economy. The Labor Department said its latest data suggested employers added about 818,000 fewer jobs than previously estimated over the 12 months prior to March. The revision, which is preliminary, would reduce the total number of jobs created during that time by about 30%, compared with previous estimates - the biggest such update since 2009. In an ordinary year, the publication of a new estimate would be marked by only the nerdiest of economic forecasters. But months before a presidential election, it quickly became political fodder. What did the report say? The new estimates suggest monthly job growth of about 174,000, instead of the roughly 240,000 previously understood. Most sectors were hit by downward revisions, including information - media and tech among other areas - retail, manufacturing, and the grab-bag category of "professional and business services. That means job growth in the period was "even more dependent on government and education/healthcare than thought", wrote Ryan Sweet at Oxford Economics. Hiring was "still strong but less than that needed to keep up with growth in the working-age po[CENSORED]tion" he noted. At the end of the day, the revisions imply that the total number of jobs in the US is just 0.5% smaller than previously thought. Where are these numbers coming from? The Labor Department publishes estimates of job creation each month, based on surveys it sends out to employers. It regularly revises the figures as it gets more information, with a final reset at the start of each year. Its report Wednesday was a preview of that update, incorporating county-level unemployment insurance tax data. This revision was "notably" larger than previous years, Mr Sweet noted. But some analysts suggested it might be overblown, noting that the tax data would not reflect jobs going to unauthorized workers. Given the recent surge in immigration in the US, they say that could lead to jobs growth being undercounted. Over the last four years, the final estimates of job growth have ended up higher than indicated in August. What has the reaction been so far? Strong jobs growth has been key to the Biden administration's case that its policies helped the US emerge from the pandemic with the strongest economy in the world. But on Wednesday, Republicans seized on the figures to argue that Democrats have been gaslighting voters about the state of the economy. The Republican Party responded on social media writing: "BREAKING: 818,000 jobs that the Harris-Biden administration claimed to have âcreatedâ arenât actually there". Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that it was a "MASSIVE SCANDAL!" claiming that the "real" numbers were "much worse than that". But Jared Bernstein, the chair of President Bidenâs Council of Economic Advisers, said the revision, "doesnât change the fact that this has been and remains a strong jobs recovery, powering real wage gains, solid consumer spending, and record small biz creation". So how worried should we be? For much of the last year, the US has reported strong jobs growth in defiance of economist expectations - and public sentiment. The gains have surprised many because businesses and households are facing the highest borrowing costs in a generation, which would ordinarily trip-up growth. As the Republican response underlined, the revisions bolster arguments that the labour market is on shakier ground than understood. Many analysts said the new numbers would strengthen the case for the US central bank to cut interest rates at its next meeting in November. That is already expected, as it tries to head off further weakening in the job market. But the change didn't set off widespread alarms. Financial markets, which were roiled by jitters about the economy earlier this month, took the latest data largely in stride, noting that they were in line with expectations. "Non-farm payroll growth from April 2023 to March 2024 looks to be softer than first thought, but not worryingly so," wrote Olivia Cross, North America economist at Capital Economics. https://bbc.com/news/articles/cy4ydqv8721o

Animals at London Zoo are being checked and measured as part of its annual weigh-in day. The zoo staff will need to gently tempt every mammal, bird, reptile, fish and invertebrate, from Humboldt penguins to camels and lion cubs, by strategically placing food next to the scales to check their health and wellbeing. Data is then added to the Zoological Information Management System. It is shared with zoos around the world and helps zookeepers compare information on threatened species. Angela Ryan, head of zoological operations at London Zoo, said the weigh-in, which began on Monday and can take up to a week, will form an important part of gathering data to help protect animals in the wild. Although the zoo houses more than 14,000 animals, Ms Ryan said the keepers will only have time to measure and log the weight of around 400 creatures.

The Infiniti Q50 sedan will be retired after the 2024 model year. The Q50 was launched for 2014 and eventually gained a 400-hp twin-turbo Red Sport 400 model. With the Q50 departing, Infiniti will exclusively sell SUVs. It's time to bid farewell to yet another sedan. Yesterday Infiniti announced a host of changes to its lineup for 2025, and notably the Q50 sedan was absent from the list of models. Infiniti has confirmed to Car and Driver that the Q50 sedan will not return for the 2025 model year. With 2024 serving as the Q50's final model year, Infiniti's lineup will soon consist entirely of SUVs. The Q50 sedan first arrived for the 2014 model year and only lasted for one generation, with only minor styling tweaks over its decade-long run. By the end of the Q50's life, the four-door came exclusively with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 connected to a seven-speed automatic gearbox and offered with either rear-wheel or all-wheel-drive. While base versions produced 300 horsepower, the Q50 turned up the wick with the Red Sport 400 model, which as the name suggests produced 400 ponies and shaved half a second off the zero-to-60-mph time with a 4.5-second run. The 3.0-liter unit's arrival in 2016 replaced the 328-hp 3.7-liter V-6 that was initially found under the Q50's hood. The Q50 also came with a hybrid powertrain from launch that utilized a 3.5-liter V-6 for a combined 359 hp, but this setup was ditched after 2018. A 208-hp turbocharged four-cylinder was offered as an entry-level variant from 2016 to 2019. Infinti also teased an even more potent Q50 that could have rivaled the sports sedans from BMW's M division and Mercedes-AMG. Dubbed the Eau Rouge after an iconic corner at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, it was first unveiled as a concept at the 2014 Detroit auto show. The Q50 Eau Rouge wore aggressive carbon-fiber bodywork and borrowed a 560-hp twin-turbo V-6 from the Nissan GT-R. While the all-wheel-drive sports sedan was originally intended for production, the plans were discarded in 2015. While the Q50's death means the brand no longer sells any sedans, that may change in the near future. The Vision Qe concept unveiled in 2023 was a slinky electric sedan and is thought to preview an upcoming Q70 production model that will share its underpinnings with a revived and electrified Nissan Maxima. The Infiniti EV sedan could arrive by 2026. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a61936697/infiniti-q50-sedan-dead/

A Brazilian police investigation into allegations of domestic abuse by Manchester United winger Antony has concluded without any charges being brought, but prosecutors could still look into the claims. The 24-year-old, who has denied wrongdoing, remains the subject of a Greater Manchester Police investigation. Allegations of domestic abuse were made against Antony by three women in September last year, though he has not been arrested or charged in either Brazil or the UK and denies the allegations. A statement from the player's lawyers said: "The defence of player Antony Matheus dos Santos, in light of the news published by the press this Tuesday (20 August 2024), hereby confirms that the police investigation opened at the fifth Women's Defense Precinct of Sao Paulo, of the Civil Police, was closed without any police indictment. "The defence has always believed that the investigations, that run under confidentiality, would prove Antony's innocence." Officials have told BBC News Brasil that although the police investigation has concluded without an indictment, the case has not been dropped because the prosecutor's office is still reviewing it and can decide to make another independent investigation. Antony became Manchester United's second-most expensive signing when he joined from Ajax for ÂŁ82m in September 2022. During the international break in September 2023, Brazilian news outlet UOL published allegations made by Antony's ex-partner Gabriela Cavallin, which he denies. Further assault allegations followed when Rayssa de Freitas and Ingrid Lana each claimed Antony assaulted them in 2022, which he also denies. Greater Manchester Police became involved as one of the allegations was said to have taken place at a Manchester hotel. United responded by saying they took the allegations "seriously" and granted Antony leave with full pay to deal with the allegations on 10 September. He resumed training from 29 September having spoken to Greater Manchester Police voluntarily and returned to action in early October. However, his club manager Erik ten Hag said in January that the matter had affected the player's form. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cx2e9x028jqo

A council's move towards cashless transactions has been criticised for contributing to "digital exclusion". Middlesbrough Council closed its cash office earlier this year claiming it had seen a "significant reduction in demand" for the service since the coronavirus pandemic. Resident Jan McBride has called for reversal after being without a bin for months because the council will not accept cash for new ones. The 67-year-old, who only uses cash, said: "They've asked me to ask friends or family to do it for me, but I'm entitled to pay for my own bin. They're taking my independence away from me." She explained: "The council is signed up to a charter that says elderly people should be included, but I'm not included. "I'm having to jump through hoops just to get a bin, but it's the legal currency of this country I want to use." 'Life getting smaller' Mrs McBride prefers to budget with cash but said life was getting "much more difficult" for those who do not want to carry out digital transactions. She said she has left her choir and can no longer attend shows at a local venue because, in both situations, payments can only be made digitally. "My life is getting smaller at a time when everyone's encouraging people my age to stay in contact and get out and about and be socially able," she said. "I'm being restricted, and just because I want to pay with cash." A council spokesman said there had been a significant shift in the way people pay for services in recent years. "The trend is overwhelmingly towards electronic and online payments," he added. "This approach is more efficient, helps to reduce costs and offers increased protection against loss and fraud." He said arrangements for cash payments can still be made in "exceptional circumstances" at PayPoint locations or post offices and that they will reach out to Mrs McBride in an effort to resolve her issue. Cashless 'divide' Professor Pamela Briggs, chair in applied psychology at Northumbria University and co-director of the UK's Centre for Digital Citizens, said councils should think more about the potential impact of refusing cash. "Councils tend to think more inclusively," she said. "They will send out leaflets offering a whole range of language services and they think about disability too. "It's interesting that councils are not thinking about cash in this same sort of way, that there's some kind of divide that comes with the cashless society." Professor Briggs said Mrs McBride's case was unusual as many people adapted their habits after "life changed overnight" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, when cashless transactions were widely encouraged as a safety measure. The Middlesbrough woman's life will inevitably be smaller as a result of sticking to cash, she added. Follow BBC Tees on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and Instagram.

Hamas has claimed it was behind a bomb explosion in Tel Aviv on Sunday night which Israeli authorities say killed the suspected attacker and injured a civilian. A statement from the armed group said it had been a âmartyrdom operation" carried out in co-operation with Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It also warned that suicide attacks would âreturn to the forefrontâ if Israel continued what it called âmassacresâ of Palestinians. Israelâs police force and Shin Bet domestic security service said earlier that they could confirm it was a terrorist attack involving a powerful explosive device. The blast happened on Lehi Street in southern Tel Aviv, about an hour after the US secretary of state landed in the city to push for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. CCTV footage filmed moments before appeared to show a middle aged man walking past a shop carrying a full backpack. Israelâs Magen David Adom service said paramedics found an unconscious man in his 50s with multiple systemic injuries who they pronounced dead at the scene. A 33-year-old bystander who suffered shrapnel injuries to his limbs and chest was treated by the paramedics before being taken to a local hospital. "It was a miracle that it did not explode in the nearest synagogue or in the shopping centre. It could have ended in dozens of deaths," Ayalon District Police Commander Haim Bublil said on Monday, according to the Jerusalem Post newspaper. The identity of the perpetrator is not yet known, but police suspect he was a Palestinian. In a separate development on Sunday, an Israeli security guard was killed by a Palestinian man at an industrial area near the settlement of Kedumim, in the north of the occupied West Bank, Israeli authorities said. Gideon Perry, a 38-year-old father of three, was fatally wounded when he was hit with a hammer by a labourer, who then stole his firearm and drove away. The local Israeli military commander, Maj-Gen Avi Bluth, said it was a âvery serious terrorist attackâ and that troops were in pursuit of the attacker. So far, no Palestinian armed groups have claimed they were behind the attack, which came three days after a deadly rampage by Israeli settlers at a Palestinian village near Kedumim. The Palestinian health ministry said a Palestinian man was shot dead as settlers set fire to a number of vehicles and homes in Jit, in an incident which brought swift and unusual condemnation from Israeli leaders. There has been a spike in violence in the West Bank since Hamasâs deadly attack on Israel on 7 October and the ensuing war in Gaza. https://bbc.com/news/articles/cg58zqgle9ro

Before our interview, Lamborghini head of design Mitja Borkert runs in a back room and returns with a file envelope full of sketches of the new Lamborghini Temerario. The Temariario is set to replace the HuracĂĄn as the "entry level" Lambo. With the HuracĂĄn having a nearly 10-year run, with variants from Evo to STO to the unexpected but delightful lifted Sterrato, it was time to bring in not a variant, but a whole new car. During the unveil at the Quail, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said that the Temerario joins a lineup at Lamborghini that is "better than ever before." For details on the Temerario (once again named for a fighting bull, this one from 1875, and reportedly, "very brave"), click over to this detailed report by Caleb Miller. Short version is, V-8, three electric motors, AWD, 907 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, and more cabin and luggage space. As for the art behind it, let's get back to Borkert and his sketches. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a61905127/lamborghini-temerario-mitja-borkert/

ISLAMABAD: In light of the ongoing construction work at Karachi's National Stadium, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday announced its decision to shift the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh to Rawalpindi following consultations with all stakeholders. "Given that construction must continue uninterrupted to ensure the venue is operationally ready for the Champions Trophy 2025, the PCB, after consulting all stakeholders and reviewing operational and logistical matters, has decided to hold both Tests in Rawalpindi," the PCB said The board's announcement follows its earlier decision to prohibit spectators in the second Test which was set to take place from August 30 to September 3 in Karachi. Furthermore, the ticket sales for the match were also suspended with PCB saying that the fans who had already purchased tickets would receive a full refund, which would be automatically processed and credited back to their accounts. It is to be noted that the board, while allocating Rs12.80 billion, has undertaken major upgradation of Karachi's National Stadium, Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium and Rawalpindi International Cricket Stadium which are set to host Champions Trophy 2025. Earlier this week, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi approved the venues' designs during his visit to BDP Pattern's London head office, a renowned architectural company based in the United Kingdom. The design of Karachi's stadium, which has come to the fore, indicates that the stadium will be renovated in two phases and hints that a fresh building will be built right in front of the main structure. Reports suggest that the new infrastructure will host VIP boxes, a gallery, media boxes and boxes for families of those playing. The two dressing rooms can also be shifted to the new building. Moreover, the stadium will have a roof all across the structure. The roof will be installed during the second phase of the construction. So far, the scoreboard building has been revamped at the National Stadium including the enclosures of Iqbal Qasim and Naseem-ul-Ghani. Elaborating on the decision to shift the match to Rawalpindi, the PCB said: "We have been guided by the construction experts on the timelines for the readiness of the venue. They advised that while construction could continue during playing hours, the resulting noise pollution would disturb the cricketers. Additionally, the dust from the construction work could also affect the health and well-being of the players, officials, broadcasters, and media." With the match now shifted to Rawalpindi, which will also host the first clash between the Green Shirts and the visitors from August 21 to 25, the fans will now be able to spectate the two-match series. Furthermore, the board has clarified that the series between Pakistan Shaheens and Bangladesh A will continue as usual in Islamabad. https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1221304-pcb-shifts-second-pak-vs-ban-test-from-karachi-to-rawalpindi
