The temperatures, afflicting so much of the world all at once, were a withering reminder that climate change is a global crisis, driven by human-made forces: the emissions of heat-trapping gases, mainly caused by the burning of fossil fuels. The return of El Niño, a cyclical weather pattern, is also having wide-ranging effects on weather around the world. The planet has warmed about two degrees Fahrenheit since the 19th century and will continue to grow hotter until humans essentially stop burning coal, oil and gas, scientists say. The higher temperatures contribute to extreme weather events and help make periods of extreme heat more frequent, longer and more intense. In Europe: Officials in many cities have introduced cooling stations. And mindful of the danger — more than 61,000 people died in last summer’s heat waves, according to a recent study — they have urged visitors and residents alike to stay indoors during the day’s hottest hours.

Those woes may prove to be the undoing of Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, as he attempts to sell himself as the repairman for a broken Britain. His challenges could become more difficult today when the inflation rate for June is announced, with analysts saying it could remain above 8 percent. That would put at risk one of the five goals Sunak set for his government: to cut the inflation rate in half by the end of 2023. His Conservative Party faces yet another test tomorrow with [three by-elections looming](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmmfMIP4QFAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjMvMDcvMTgvd29ybGQvZXVyb3BlL2JvcmlzLWpvaG5zb24tdXhicmlkZ2UtYnktZWxlY3Rpb24uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMzA3MTkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTc4Nzgmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTM5Njc4JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpktghut2TtlCuEUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). Sunak, a former chancellor of the Exchequer and hedge fund manager, has cultivated a reputation as a technocrat and a problem solver. But his return to fiscal prudence has yet to reinvigorate Britain’s growth. And though inflation may yet drop significantly, Britain’s other problems, including its crumbling National Health Service, defy easy solutions. Analysis: “Low productivity and low growth make economic policy challenging,” said Mahmood Pradhan, head of global macroeconomics at Amundi, an asset manager. “It reduces fiscal space.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote that he had received the letter on Sunday and had been given four days to report to a grand jury. He described Smith as “deranged.” The letter was the second from Smith notifying Trump that he was a target in a federal investigation. The first, last month, was in connection to Trump’s handling of sensitive documents after he left office. Days after that letter became public, Trump was charged with 37 criminal counts covering seven sections of federal law.

House of dreams: It has taken many architectural forms, from a three-story townhouse to a pink mansion with a balcony and a turret, but one aspect of the Barbie Dreamhouse has remained consistent: its lone occupant in a single bed. Life on tiptoe: One need only see a perfectly pointed foot, positioned to fit neatly into a high heel, to know it belongs to Barbie. Proportional misrepresentation: The more you look into Barbie’s surreal proportions, the clearer it becomes that she is unlike anything ever made in nature — even Margot Robbie. The original boy toy: Barbie’s ultimate accessory is her man, a chisel-jawed himbo. Their relationship is sexless (neither has genitals) but supportive: Ken is often pictured in the background, carrying Barbie’s bag.
