Chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg say fridge temperatures rose overnight, similar to hack of French stores

Supermarket chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg have said the temperatures of their refrigerators and freezers in dozens of stores rose overnight, prompting fears of a cyber-attack similar to one that caused millions of euros of food losses in France.

Sweden’s Coop chain told the daily Aftonbladet on Monday that six of ​its stores ‌had been ​affected, while ICA said it was “aware that a limited ​number of stores were affected by an incident overnight which impacted their refrigeration and freezer systems”.

Experts reviewing the Trump administration’s list of nearly 21,000 people it alleges may be noncitizens registered to vote in California say the Department of Justice (DOJ) handed over a stripped-down version of the data that appears different from the file previously sent to state and local election officials.

The experts also questioned the reliability of the federal list itself.

After comparing all 20,930 names against California’s current voter file, they said 8,880 — about 42% — could not be found at all. They said more precise matching would have been possible if DOJ had included voter identification numbers in the data it produced.

Barreto and Rios described the list as containing “extensive errors, duplications” and missing information. They warned that applying the government’s matching methodology more broadly could generate large numbers of false matches involving eligible U.S. citizens.

Haley Stevens’ staff has resigned following the Democratic lawmaker’s decision to jump ship and endorse Republican Mike Rogers for Senate.

Just hours after Rep. Stevens (D-Mich.) officially endorsed Republican Senate nominee Rogers on Sunday, Justin German, Stevens’ chief of staff, said he and many members of his team had resigned.

“As Haley Stevens’ chief of staff for eight years, I speak on behalf of our team in wholeheartedly supporting Abdul El-Sayed for Senate,” German said Sunday in a statement. “This election is too important to sow division or stand on the sidelines. We are shocked and heartbroken by Congresswoman Stevens’ decision to support Mike Rogers.”

The UK Government is “making up its China policy as it goes”, exposing the UK to both economic and national security risks, MPs have warned in a new report.

In a 102-page document (pdf) published on Monday, MPs sitting on the Business, Innovation, Science and Trade Committee (Bist) accused the Labour government of failing to deliver on its 2024 promise to implement a “strategic, long-term, consistent” approach to China.

The Government has re-engaged with China without establishing the rules of the game required to protect British economic and national security, says the Bist report.

"Businesses are therefore navigating their relationship with one of the world’s most consequential economic actors without knowing where engagement is prohibited, where safeguards are required, and where the Government will actively support growth. This is not good enough."

...

Successive governments have failed to reassure the security community, the public, or Parliament that they have taken adequate measures to defend UK national security and economic resilience, the report says.

The lack of predictability and clear guidance is hampering UK businesses’ ability to make commercial decisions about the Chinese market.

...

Drawing on Britain’s strengths, it should provide targeted support for businesses in carefully selected sectors by negotiating better market access, increasing export finance, and enhancing guidance.

...

The Government should pursue a new framework with three strategic objectives.

First, it should insist on fair trade, strengthening trade remedies and reforming procurement to enable British firms to compete on a level playing field. This should include preparation of tariffs to be deployed where China refuses to reform unfair competition practices.

Second, it should prevent the transfer of sensitive technologies and data to China by better resourcing the UK’s research security apparatus, strengthening the regulation of data traffic between connected vehicles in the UK and foreign entities, banning high risk connected tech from UK critical national infrastructure, and strengthening the Government’s powers of continuous review of foreign ownership of UK assets in strategic sectors.

Third, it should minimise the UK economy’s exposure to coercion, disruption and forced labour by developing a plan to secure UK supply chains and banning the import of products made using forced labour.

[The linked Bist report lists 42 measures.]

Burrowing Owl vs Roadrunner, Arizona, USA

It seems I have been lied to all these years!

He didn't want that seed at all! He wanted to eat things like our owl friend here! 😮

The roadrunner is an opportunistic omnivore. Its diet normally consists of insects (such as grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, and beetles), small reptiles (such as lizards and snakes, including rattlesnakes), rodents and other small mammals, spiders (including tarantulas), scorpions, centipedes, snails, small birds (and nestlings), eggs, and fruits and seeds like those from prickly pear cactuses and sumacs. The lesser roadrunner eats mainly insects. The roadrunner forages on the ground and, when hunting, usually runs after prey from under cover. It may leap to catch insects, and commonly batters certain prey against the ground. The roadrunner is one of the few animals that preys upon rattlesnakes; it is also the only real predator of tarantula hawk wasps. (Roadrunner wiki)
