Deutsche Bank faces $150m fine for Jeffrey Epstein ties
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-53324888
Deutsche Bank has been hit with a
$150m (£120m) fine for failing to properly monitor its relationship with
convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
New York state regulators said the bank had suffered "significant compliance failures", processing hundreds of transactions for the late financier.
Those included payments to Russian models and $800,000 in "suspicious" cash withdrawals.
Deutsche said it "deeply" regretted its relationship with Epstein.
But Deutsche has faced multiple penalties for its compliance failures
in recent years, including over its failure to stop Russian
money-laundering. Its relationship with US President Donald Trump has
also brought scrutiny.

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-mary-trump-book-president-trump-20200706-ttbg3kkxkvh5lnebtvuhbvacfa-story.html
A forthcoming book by President Trump’s estranged niece describes him
as a “toxic” bully who practices “cheating as a way of life,” values
money above anything and belittles his own family members, according to a
Monday press release.
In addition to those damning details, the press release from publisher
Simon & Schuster says Mary Trump’s book, “Too Much and Never Enough:
How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man,” will now be
released July 14, two weeks earlier than planned — even though the
president’s brother is trying to block the tell-all in court.

And no one knows how many more there could be.
Fact-checking Trump's claims that US coronavirus death rate is the lowest worldwide
As hospitals deal with a resurgent
coronavirus outbreak, White House officials and the President himself
continue to tout the country's alleged success at addressing the virus.
In
an interview with Fox News on Monday, White House Press Secretary
Kayleigh McEnany implied that the US response to coronavirus should not
be viewed so harshly when compared to the impact the virus has had on
other countries.
"This
President takes Covid seriously, but we should note the mortality rate
and how well we're doing vis-à-vis to the rest of the world," McEnany told Fox News.
Dr. Peter Hotez, professor of pediatrics
and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine,
told CNN that according to the latest data from Johns Hopkins, the
President's statements were not accurate. Out of the at least 2.8
million cases of coronavirus in the US, as of Monday morning Johns Hopkins estimated a fatality rate of 4.5%, the sixth highest worldwide.

Most coronavirus patients in Israel were infected at home, according to a report by Israel Hayom Tuesday morning.
According to the report, research conducted by the Knesset Research
and Information Center, nearly two-thirds (65.8%) of people infected
with the coronavirus were infected at home, while just 2.2% were
infected at synagogues.
The government rejected calls by the Health Ministry and National
Security Council to close all synagogues in the country, but did impose
new restrictions, limiting the number of worshippers to 19 at a time.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/john-kennedy-if-biden-wins-build-fallout-shelter
Sen. John Kennedy on Monday advised Americans to “build a fallout shelter” if presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is elected president in November.
“The
vice president says he will transform America. He will and the American
people will pay a fearsome price,” Kennedy, R-La., told “Hannity.”
Kennedy said that Biden’s foreign policy is “hugs and hot cocoa” for America’s enemies.
“Build a fallout shelter. You’ll need it. Weakness invites the wolves,” Kennedy said.
NASCAR's Bubba Wallace hits back at 'HATE' from Trump
https://www.foxnews.com/sports/nascars-bubba-wallace-hits-back-hate-trump
NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace on Monday fired back at President Trump for accusing him of not apologizing after a highly publicized investigation over a rope found in his garage supposedly turned out to be a hoax.
The
president suggested Wallace, the auto racing company’s only Black
driver, should apologize after the sport rallied around him after the
noose was found in his assigned stall at Talladega Superspeedway in
Alabama. Federal authorities ruled last month the noose had been hanging
since October and was not a hate crime. NASCAR and the FBI have
exclusively referred to the rope – which was used to pull the garage
door closed – as a noose.
Wallace responded on Twitter with a note to "the next generation and
little ones following my foot steps" in which he urged people to use
their platforms and not be detracted by "hate being thrown at you."
"Love should come naturally as people are TAUGHT to hate," Wallace tweeted. "Even when it's HATE from the POTUS .. Love wins."
Later, NASCAR released a statement praising Wallace’s “courage” and “leadership”
Bubba Wallace: Nascar driver's defiant tweet over Trump's 'hate'
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53315148
African-American Nascar driver Bubba
Wallace has sent out a tweet condemning words of "hate from the
president of the United States".
Wallace is the sole full-time
black driver in the US racing organisation and was instrumental in it
banning the Confederate flag from races.
A noose was later found in his garage but an FBI inquiry determined "no federal crime was committed".
President Trump called the story a hoax and suggested Wallace should apologise.
Wallace
has been a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, which
has come to the fore since the death in police custody of African
American George Floyd in Minneapolis in May.

be closed. Restaurants will be limited to seating 20 patrons inside and
30 outside. Synagogues must have no more than 19 prayer attendees.
