*) Palestinians risk lives for survival as hunger crisis deepens in Gaza In Gaza, Palestinians brave ongoing bombings to gather mulberry leaves for food, highlighting the severe hunger crisis. On July 9th, UN human rights experts reported that famine has spread throughout Gaza. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) noted last month that over 495,000 people face "catastrophic" levels of food insecurity. *) Erdogan urges NATO to convince Netanyahu for Gaza truce Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has urged NATO allies to pressure Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a ceasefire and uninterrupted humanitarian aid to Gaza. At the NATO summit, Erdogan said “until comprehensive, sustainable peace is established in Palestine, attempts at cooperation with Israel within NATO will not be approved by Türkiye." Erdogan also accused Netanyahu of endangering Israelis and the region with his expansionist policies. *) US announces new $225M weapons package for Ukraine, including Patriots US President Joe Biden has announced a new $225 million aid package for Ukraine, including a Patriot missile system. Biden made the announcement during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who also pressed for US permission to fire long-range missiles deeper inside Russia. The aid package includes Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) and other munitions. *) Sudan's warring parties meet in Geneva for UN-brokered ceasefire talks Sudan's warring parties have arrived in Geneva for UN-brokered talks on "possible local ceasefires" to facilitate humanitarian aid.

US circulates revised Gaza truce draft at UN but Israel objects https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/live-blog-us-circulates-revised-gaza-truce-draft-at-un-but-israel-objects-18170639 The United States has circulated the revised draft of a UN Security Council resolution aimed at bringing about a ceasefire in Gaza, but Israel privately objected to its close ally's latest attempt to stop the genocidal war. The draft says the Security Council “welcomes the new ceasefire proposal announced on May 31, which is acceptable to Israel ... (and) calls upon Hamas to also accept it.” But an Israeli official said that the language overlooks Israel's stated aim of destroying Hamas. *) Sodomised to death: Stories of torture at Israel's Sde Teiman base emerge https://www.trtworld.com/middle-east/sodomised-to-death-stories-of-torture-at-israels-sde-teiman-base-emerge-18170660 A three-month investigation by The New York Times has unearthed severe torture and egregious human rights violations at an Israeli military base in Sde Teiman, southern Israel. Since the onset of Israel's genocidal war in Gaza, a chilling pattern of grotesque abuse has emerged within Sde Teiman's walls. Detainees, shackled by horror, have borne witness to unspeakable acts: sodomised with metal rods, jolted with electricity, and subjected to merciless beatings with batons, rifle butts, and handheld metal detectors. *) Outrage grows as RSF is blamed for killing 100+ in Sudan's Gezira https://www.trtworld.com/africa/outrage-grows-as-rsf-is-blamed-for-killing-100-in-sudans-gezira-18170661 Sudanese and international organisations and institutions have condemned the killing of over 100 civilians in the village of Wad al Noora in Sudan's Gezira state allegedly by paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. They are calling for an immediate investigation and accountability for those responsible. The Madani Resistance Committee, a local pro-democracy activists group, put the toll at “more than 104.” *) Ukraine to get $225M worth US weapons that Kiev can use inside Russia https://www.trtworld.com/us-and-canada/ukraine-to-get-dollar225m-worth-us-weapons-that-kiev-can-use-inside-russia-18170649 US officials said Washington will send about $225 million in military package to Ukraine. The officials said the aid includes munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, as well as mortar systems and an array of artillery rounds. Under a new US directive, Ukraine can use such weapons to strike across the border into Russia if Russian forces there are attacking or preparing to attack. And finally… *) Survey: 21% Germans prefer ‘more players with white skin' in national team https://www.trtworld.com/discrimination/survey-21-germans-prefer-more-players-with-white-skin-in-national-team-18170245 A new survey on German football and racism has sparked an intense debate in the country ahead of the Euro 2024 Championship. In a representative poll by public broadcaster ARD, 21% of Germans said they prefer to see more players with white skin in the national football team. Nearly 17% said they regret that the national team's current captain is a player with Turkish roots. Ronny Blaschke, a renowned expert on German football, said the outcome of the survey was not surprising, as racism in football has long been a serious problem, and was further exacerbated by the rise of the anti-immigrant far-right AfD party.

The real estate sector is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions globally – and it's not just because of the power used to electrify or cool a building. Creating and transporting all of the materials that go into a building is a huge source of carbon emissions that the industry is now trying to reel in by tracking what's known as embodied carbon. In this episode of Looped In, we talk to Skanska USA's Houston lead, Matt Damborsky, about how the developer is reducing the embodied carbon in its office skyscraper 1550 on the Green in downtown Houston. We also get an in-depth look at how more real estate firms and construction suppliers are tracking embodied carbon using an online database called EC3 tool, talking with one of its creators, Stacy Smedley. The good news: it's not as expensive or time-consuming as you might think to significantly lower embodied carbon emissions, and Skanska is hoping more real estate firms follow suit.

Locked On Giants – Daily Podcast On The San Francisco Giants
While San Francisco Giants fans range from hopeful to skeptical about the team's chances of landing Aaron Judge, MLB Network reporter Jon Morosi said on Thursday "There's a legitimate chance that Aaron Judge becomes a San Francisco Giant." Judge's favorite player growing up, Rich Aurilia, went on KNBR on Wednesday and said that Morosi told him the Giants' odds of landing Judge were 50 percent, whereas the combined odds of the Yankees plus everybody else equaled 50 percent. That would mean, in essence, that Morosi views the SF Giants as the most likely team to come away with Judge. Morosi also said that the Giants would need to prove to Judge that they can win around him, but all indications are that that is their intention. He also said that the Giants might need to get closer to $40M per year to come away with Judge. As has been suggested on this show, something like 8/$320M ($40M AAV) could possibly get a deal done. The Yankees' reported offer on the table to judge is 8/$300M ($37.5M AAV).If the San Francisco Giants are able to land Aaron Judge, what else would they do around him? It all depends on how high they're willing to push their payroll. Adding Judge would push them beyond where they've been in recent years, but they also have a lot of future flexibility with almost no guarantees on the books for 2024 and literally $0 committed in 2025 and beyond. So it's not out of the question that that could carry a $200M+ payroll in 2023, and they could go lower in 2024 if they wanted to. The Giants are set to receive $30M from the sale of BAMTech to Disney. The first luxury tax threshold is $233M in 2023, and the SF Giants are nowhere near it. Adding Judge, Carlos Correa, and Carlos Rodón at roughly their predicted AAV's would push the Giants to about $225M, still underneath the first luxury tax threshold.Find and follow Locked On Giants on your favorite podcast platforms:
