Railroad workers are set to vote on the tentative agreement reached between unions and the railroads Thursday morning. If any of the 12 rail unions fail to ratify a new contract, nearly 125,000 rail workers could go on strike. The deal would mandate two-person crews, limit health care costs and allow workers to take time off for medical appointments or other scheduled events without penalty, all key concessions won by unions....
Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on Monday is a globally televised event that has been planned for decades – yet is packed into just 10 days. “I’ve been in the business so long that I first started rehearsing for Bridges Events 30 years ago,” said presenter Dermot Murnaghan, 64, referring to an internal code name for the deaths of bigwigs. The presenter, who will co-host Sky News’ funeral coverage with Anna Botting, said preparations had been quietly ramping up since the summer....

There are now concerns that the simultaneous onslaught of flu and Covid could overburden the NHS, which is already struggling to deal with record delays. Figures from the southern hemisphere, usually a foreshadowing of what will happen in the UK, point to a wave of flu two months earlier than normal, mainly from people under 30. It suggests a surge in flu hospital admissions in Britain could start as early as October, including many children....

From the start, the photographer says how excited he was about the new 48MP resolution, since “I crop 100% of my images. Either with a few pixels or by cropping most of the frame, I use cropping as a tool to balance/direct the viewer’s eye where I want it and cut out fluff.” This is a powerful way to view and shoot, and I encourage photographers with all cameras to be more creative with their cropping, as it can often elevate an average image to a great image with a few clicks....
The outer bands of the storm are expected to interact with the remnants of Tropical Storm Lester and produce torrential rain. More than 10 inches of rain is possible in Guerrero, Michoacán and Oaxaca. In areas of southern Nayarit and Jalisco — including Puerto Vallarta — residents could see heavy rain, gusty winds and waves up to 13 feet along the coasts. Rainfall from both Lester and Madeline could trigger landslides, raise water levels in rivers and streams, and flood low-lying areas....
Henry Nicholls | Reuters LONDON — Inflation in the United Kingdom slowed in August as fuel prices fell, although food prices continued to rise as the country’s cost-of-living crisis continues. The consumer price index rose 9.9 percent annually, according to estimates released on Wednesday by the Office for National Statistics, fractionally below the 10.2 percent consensus forecast among economists polled by Reuters. It was also down from July’s 10.1%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0....

Olga Simonova, 34, was remembered for her courage and kindness at a funeral in the Ukrainian capital on Friday. Simonova’s coffin was draped in the blue-and-yellow flag of Ukraine, with a cute lion on top....
Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his “special military operation” in the Eastern European country on February 24, hoping to see a quick victory. However, Ukraine responded with a stronger-than-expected defense that prevented Putin’s troops from achieving any meaningful objectives in the nearly seven months of the conflict. In recent weeks, Ukraine’s successes have allowed it to launch its own counter-offensives to retake formerly occupied territories in the southern and eastern regions of the country....

Syrian fighters backed by the United States have rescued tens of thousands of women and children after a weeks-long raid on a refugee camp in northern Syria. Dozens of militants were subsequently arrested and an unknown number of weapons seized following the 24-day operation in the al-Hol camp by the Internal Security Forces and the Kurdish-backed Syrian Democratic Forces. In total, about 50,000 Syrians and Iraqis lived in tents in the camp, including about 20,000 children....
“Today’s decision by the District Court means that the Vancouver election will proceed with the names of the 15 candidates as submitted on their nomination papers,” the city said in a statement. Justice James Wingham ruled it would be “unfair” for the application to proceed according to the strict timeline set out in the Vancouver Charter and adjourned the hearing to a later date, shortly after the municipal election. “We’re really happy to see that the Chinese names will remain on the ballot because the judge found the issues so complicated, so complicated that there’s no way to make a decision today,” Nonpartisan Union mayoral candidate Fred Harding said Friday....
During Branson’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! On Wednesday, the late-night host told the Abbott Elementary creator/star that she regretted drawing attention during her Emmy acceptance speech on Monday. Branson took the stage toward the end of Kimmel’s monologue Wednesday, holding her Emmy. “I have a small favor to ask,” he said, noting that his commitment to a comedy bit during the ceremony had consumed the time he would have used to thank more people during her acceptance speech and that he would like to claim her again at a time....

LONDON (AP) – A growing number of people – from London pensioners to former England soccer captain David Beckham – have lined up to pay their respects to Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin as it lies in Parliament, so many that authorities had to call a temporary curfew. stop on Friday to allow more people to join the mile-long queue. By late afternoon, a live scout said the line to enter historic Westminster Hall had reopened, but the British government warned it would take more than 24 hours to cover the 5 miles (8km) from the start of the line in Southwark Park to the coffin in Parliament....
49ers coach Kyle Shanahan went to the 22-year-old quarterback, but couldn’t find much to say. “I’m sorry,” Shanahan told Lance on the field, according to Peter King of NBC Sports. “You were playing your ass off.” Lance walked off the field. It was later confirmed that he suffered a fractured ankle, ending the former first-round pick’s 2022 season after just five quarters. “He’s doing as well as you can,” Shanahan said after the game....
That email was sent two days after the nation’s highest court rejected in a 5-4 vote a request by the university to block a lower court ruling asking it to recognize an LGBTQ student club “Pride Alliance.” Katie Rosenfeld, the attorney representing the club, called the university’s latest move a “disgraceful tactic” aimed at pitting students against their LGBTQ peers. “Today’s announcement by the YU administration that it will cancel all student club activities rather than host an LGBTQ peer support group on campus is a throwback to 50 years ago when the city of Jackson, Mississippi closed all public swimming pools rather than comply by court orders to desegregate,” Rosenfeld told CNN in a statement....
About 50 more immigrants got off a bus outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence in Washington, DC, on Saturday. Three more buses also arrived in New York City as Texas continued to push for sanctuary cities amid a wave of migrants crossing the southern border. The DC bus was carrying people mostly from Venezuela, including a one-month-old baby. Aid workers quickly herded the migrants to a local shelter. The transfers come as the immigration issue has been thrust back into the national spotlight after planes carrying migrants arrived in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts....
