England will play either Colombia or Jamaica in the quarter finals England fans celebrated outside the Brisbane Football Stadium after their penalty shootout victory over Nigeria. The teams remained scoreless at the end of extra time, but England pulled through with a 4-2 win on penalties. England played with 10 women through extra-time after forward Lauren James, their top scorer with three goals in the group stage, was sent off in the 87th minute for an ill-tempered stamp on the back of Michelle Alozie after the two went down in a tangled heap. Despite Nigeria’s loss, fans were still proud…

Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon asked the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to justify its continuing use of a District of Columbia grand jury in hopes of laying additional charges in the case about former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified government records at his Florida home. Using the work of a grand jury in one jurisdiction to indict a defendant out-of-state isn’t necessarily unconstitutional, but it is unusual, a legal expert told The Epoch Times. The records case is being heard in the judge’s courtroom in Fort Pierce, Florida. DOJ special counsel Jack Smith has brought 40 federal felony…

Warships from a joint China–Russia naval operation buzzed the coast of Alaska last week in what has been described as the biggest combined Russian–Chinese battle group to ever approach U.S. shores. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) said in an Aug. 5 statement that 11 Russian and Chinese warships operating together got close to the coast of Alaska, in what the lawmaker called “yet another reminder that we have entered a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators of Beijing and Moscow.” Mr. Sullivan, who’s a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, told Fox News on Aug. 5 that the U.S. Navy…

A federal judge has ordered a reporter to disclose her sources for an investigative series on an FBI investigation into a Chinese scientist named Yanping Chen, in a rare move that has received pushback from press groups. Catherine Herridge, currently with CBS News but with Fox News when she reported the stories, must sit for a deposition and answer questions under oath about the identity and intent of the sources for the series, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled. “The Court recognizes both the vital importance of a free press and the critical role that confidential sources play in the…

The average UK house price has fallen for the fourth month in a row, according to Halifax, which says higher borrowing costs are increasingly pushing first-time buyers to switch to smaller homes. The average UK house price fell by 0.3% in July, its monthly index showed, with the typical UK home costing £285,044, compared with a peak of £293,992 last August. However, the lender said there was an easing in the annual rate at which homes are falling in value, with property prices dropping by 2.4% last month compared with the same period a year earlier, easing from a 2.6%…

Niger closed its airspace on Sunday until further notice, citing the threat of military intervention from a regional bloc after coup leaders rejected a deadline to reinstate the country’s ousted president. “In the face of the threat of intervention that is becoming more apparent … Nigerien airspace is closed effective from today,” a junta representative said in a statement on national television on Sunday evening. He said there had been a pre-deployment of forces in two central African countries in preparation for an intervention, but did not give details. “Niger’s armed forces and all our defence and security forces, backed by the…

NatWest has granted itself “sweeping new powers” to limit cash deposits and withdrawals, fuelling warnings that banks are forcing customers towards a “cashless society”. The high-street bank has told current account holders it is bringing in new conditions “giving us the right to set limits on inbound and outbound payments”. In a leaflet it said that could include imposing “daily and annual” cash withdrawal and deposit limits and “limiting the amount of cash” paid in or taken out. The move has raised fears that increasing curbs on the use of paper money across the system could have negative consequences for consumers.…

Rishi Sunak is under mounting pressure from Conservative MPs to boost the UK’s struggling economy after the Bank of England signalled that there will be no respite from the high interest rates hitting households and businesses until well into next year. Threadneedle Street prompted calls for tax cuts and a package of support for the housing market after it raised rates for a 14th time in a row, with the cumulative impact of dearer borrowing meaning a general election expected in late 2024 would take place against a backdrop of a barely growing economy. The Bank announced a quarter-point increase in interest…
