Nurses fainting in ‘inhumane’ conditions due to extreme heat, union warns | Nursing

Published by Jenni Sidey

Nurses are collapsing during shifts amid “inhumane and impossible” conditions caused by extreme heat, their union has warned, as Andy Burnham promised to grapple with “the bigger questions” of climate adaptation. Amid growing pressure from Labour backbenches to fully acknowledge the urgency of adaptation measures as the climate crisis bites, Burnham said he was for now focusing on the immediate crises caused by an ongoing summer of extreme heat. Speaking after a meeting of the government’s Cobra emergency committee, Burnham refused to say if the summer had made the case against renewed drilling in the North Sea, which his government is considering. “It is really important that we deal today with the situation that we are in right now and we focus on making sure that we have the serious incidents under control across the country, and those incidents are under control,” he said. “The bigger questions obviously will come at the right moment in time,” he added. An amber warning for heat across large parts of England will come into force again on Thursday …

Published by skeptic

If you’ve been holding out on buying Valve’s ludicrously expensive home console, you may have saved yourself from more than an empty wallet. European customers who ordered a Steam Machine or Steam Controller may be the victims of a personal information data breach after one of Valve’s hardware distribution partners was hit by a cyberattack.

A Valve spokesperson told CNET that the company spent the weekend assembling a list of at-risk customers, notifying them about the attack via email on Monday morning. “Though CEVA is still investigating the attack, we wanted to at least send out messaging to all customers we can assume were affected based on what we currently know,” the spokesperson said. What Valve currently knows is that the personal information revealed by the cyberattack is likely all delivery-related. CEVA told Valve that the breach revealed customers’ names, countries, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. According to Valve, “payment information, passwords …

UK Intelligence Suddenly Warns Of ‘Civil War’ Plot Against Migrants… Convenient Demonization?

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News, Intelligence officials are warning that a group of Republican extremists in Ireland, known as the New IRA, is preparing a campaign of violence to drive migrants out of the country, complete with talk of civil war and 24-hour ultimatums. The claims, amplified across major outlets this weekend, arrive at a moment when frustration with mass migration and the crimes linked to it has reached boiling point on both sides of the border. Whether the threat is as advanced as portrayed, or whether the timing serves to tar ordinary opposition to open borders with the brush of terrorism, remains an open question.

Nigel Farage warns ‘woke’ police are turning UK into Communist Russia | Politics | News

Published by Sam Flores

British police forces are infected by a “woke culture” that has made them biased against Right-wingers, Nigel Farage has claimed. The Reform UK leader compared the UK to Russia and Communist China as he warned police were harassing people for expressing opinions instead of fighting crime. It follows a series of incidents in which police have turned up at people’s homes following complaints about social media posts. And Mr Farage highlighted the Metropolitan Police’s refusal to take action against Green Party leader Zack Polanski. Mr Polanksi had shared a photo of a man with a T-shirt showing a guillotine and the phrase “we’re only making plans for Nigel”. The Green leader said he had made an “inadvertent mistake” but refused to apologise. Mr Farage said: “There were more knocks at the door in this country in 2025 than there were in Communist China or Russia.” “People do say horrible things on social media, but it all appears to be one way round. “Polanski put something out on Instagram, which is ‘only making plans for Nigel’ …

Louisiana warns against flesh-eating bacteria after five deaths

Published by Sam Flores

Louisiana health officials are urging residents to take precautions against a flesh-eating bacterial infection following the deaths of five people this year. The Louisiana Department of Health issued a warning about the infection, known as Vibrio vulnificus, in a press release on Thursday. The department said nine people have been infected this year and five have died. By comparison, Louisiana averaged seven cases and one death annually over the previous 10 years during the same time period. All of this year’s reported cases were linked to wounds exposed to seawater, and all patients had underlying health conditions, the department added. Vibrio bacteria naturally live in coastal waters, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and is more common in the summer when water temperatures rise. People can contract the infection by eating raw or undercooked shellfish, particularly oysters, or when an open wound comes into contact with coastal waters, the CDC says. About 1 in 5 people with a Vibrio vulnificus infection die, according to the agency. While anyone can be infected, the …

Ukraine warns of tough winter as Russia strikes kill 4 in Kyiv region

Published by Sam Flores

BELGRADE: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Saturday (Aug 8), during a visit to Belgrade, that Ukraine was facing a winter with basically no working thermal power plants as overnight Russian strikes left four dead, including a child, in the Kyiv region. Speaking alongside his Serbian counterpart, Aleksandar Vucic, the Ukrainian leader said Moscow’s latest overnight attacks and shelling of frontline communities combined had killed 13 people in the last 24 hours. “Russian missiles are aimed precisely at making the lives of Ukrainians unbearable,” Zelensky told reporters during his first official visit to Belgrade, highlighting that the attacks often target Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Ukraine was left with “virtually no intact thermal power plants” as it braced for the upcoming heating season, Zelensky said. Those plants are important complements to the nuclear energy which also feeds its grid. More than four years after the start of Russia’s large-scale offensive against Ukraine, the two warring countries are ramping up long-range strikes, causing a growing number of civilian casualties. Moscow has significantly upped its attacks on the Ukrainian capital in …
