French bulldog thefts: Breed being targeted by thieves due to price, rise in popularity

PHILADELPHIA - The popularity of the French bulldog has increased over the years and so have thefts of the breed. According to the American Kennel Club's list of the most popular dog breeds in 2021, the French Bulldog ranked number two. The canine has exceeded expectations and surpassed the popularity of other top-ranked dogs such as the German Shepard and Golden Retriever.French Bulldog Village Rescue board member Cara Berarado joined "Good Day Philadelphia" to highlight the issue of increased French Bulldog thefts. RELATED HEADLINESFox 29 anchor Mike Jerrick asked the burning question, "The screaming question is, why are people stealing them?"Berarado says the value of each French Bulldog may be motivation for theft as they range in price from $5,000 to $10,000. In 2021, singer and actress, Lady Gaga was a victim of two of her French Bulldogs being stolen. The Los Angeles Police Department believed the motive behind the robbery was the value of the dogs rather than the platform of the owner. Locally, a Philadelphia man spoke to FOX 29 after his French Bulldog puppy named Chaos was stolen from his home on the 4800 block of Darrah Street. French Bulldogs wearing bandanas in the colours of the Ukrainian flag rest in their pen on the first day of the Crufts dog show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, central England, on March 10, 2022.

Ukraine ‘deeply disappointed’ as Canada approves turbine return to Russia’s Gazprom

Ukraine‘s energy and foreign ministers are condemning the decision by the Canadian government to allow Germany to return controversial turbines being serviced in Canada to Russia‘s Gazprom.In a statement published on the Ukrainian government’s energy ministry website Sunday afternoon, the ministers said they were “deeply disappointed” by Canada’s decision and urged the government to reverse it. In the statement, they added that returning the turbine would amount to adjusting the sanctions imposed on Moscow “to the whims of Russia.”Gazprom has blamed the turbines for its decision to halve the flow of gas to Germany, which is heavily dependent on Russian natural gas and recently declared an “alarm stage” over looming gas shortages.

Puffy-faced Putin sparks health worries as he struggles to stay awake in army meeting

Images from the scene showed giant plumes of black smoke from a shopping center engulfed in flames, as emergency crews rushed in and onlookers watched in distress.At least 10 people were dead and more than 40 wounded, according to the Ukrainian regional governor.Zelenskyy said the target presented "no threat to the Russian army" and had "no strategic value." He accused of Russia of sabotaging "people’s attempts to live a normal life, which make the occupiers so angry."The alleged Russian missile strike carried echoes of attacks earlier in the war that caused large numbers of civilian casualties — such as one in March on a Mariupol theater where many civilians had holed up, killing an estimated 600, and another in April on a train station in eastern Kramatorsk that left at least 59 people dead."Russia continues to take out its impotence on ordinary civilians.

Global services trade sustained recovery post-Covid pandemic: WTO

New Delhi: World Trade Organization’s index capturing global trade in services outpaced that for goods, pointing to a possible shift in consumption pattern as Covid-19 cases receded. World services trade continued to grow into the second quarter of 2022, indicating resilience to the conflict in Ukraine, according to the WTO’s Services Trade Barometer. The reading of 105.5 above the previous reading of 102.5 in September 2021 and comfortably over the baseline value of 100 for the index signals that services trade is likely to post sustained gains in the second quarter once official statistics for the period are available, according to the WTO.

‘I’m drugged up to the eyebrows!’ Sheila Hancock on health woes amid painful flare-ups

Wheat and barley shortage: How Russia-Ukraine war triggered a global food crisis

FILE PHOTO by David Rogers/Getty Images LONDON (AP) - Russian hostilities in Ukraine are preventing grain from leaving the "breadbasket of the world" and making food more expensive across the globe, threatening to worsen shortages, hunger and political instability in developing countries.Together, Russia and Ukraine export nearly a third of the world’s wheat and barley, more than 70% of its sunflower oil and are big suppliers of corn. Russia is the top global fertilizer producer.World food prices were already climbing, and the war made things worse, preventing some 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain from getting to the Middle East, North Africa and parts of Asia.Weeks of negotiations on safe corridors to get grain out of Ukraine's Black Sea ports have made little progress, with urgency rising as the summer harvest season arrives."This needs to happen in the next couple of months (or) it’s going to be horrific,’’ said Anna Nagurney, who studies crisis management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is on the board of the Kyiv School of Economics.She says 400 million people worldwide rely on Ukrainian food supplies.
