International news via Reuters:
The British pound dipped slightly against the dollar but remained close to its highest level since 2022 reached the day before as hot inflation and improving relations with Europe and the U.S. continued to support the currency.
The pound was last down 0.1% against the dollar at $1.3399, having touched a high of $1.3468 on Wednesday, its strongest level in over three years.
Britain has recently looked to improve relations with the U.S. and the European Union, becoming the first nation to sign a deal with the U.S. after President Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, and agreeing its biggest reset of trade and defence ties with the EU since Brexit this week.
“The trade deals are generally good news for the pound,” said ING FX strategist Francesco Pesole. “We still think the pound is in a pretty good position.”
Sterling was up 0.1% against at 84.2 pence per euro.
A downturn in business activity for British firms eased this month, the S&P Global UK Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) showed on Thursday, as businesses grew a little cheerier about the outlook, including fewer worries about the impact of higher U.S. tariffs.
The British currency has also been supported this week by hot inflation data, which might lower the prospect of rates cuts from the Bank of England.
The BoE’s chief economist Huw Pill said this week that a quarterly pace of cuts was “too rapid” given still strong wage pressures on inflation.
“There’s a bit of dissent building at the Bank of England,” ING’s Pesole noted.
The British central bank lowered interest rates by a quarter point to 4.25% on May 8 in a three-way split vote, with two members of the Monetary Policy Committee favouring a bigger cut, and two – including Pill – preferring a hold.
Portugal pondering how to strengthen the security of their national electricity system

International news via Reuters:
Portugal wants European energy regulators’ agency ACER to lead an independent investigation into the causes of the huge power outage that brought most of Spain and Portugal to a standstill last month, its acting energy minister told Reuters.
Maria da Graca Carvalho said Prime Minister Luis Montenegro wants an independent investigation led by the European Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators to complement the technical report being prepared by the European network of transmission system operators ENTSO-E.
“ACER, as a suitable entity to coordinate any external evaluation process, could bring more confidence, impartiality and transparency to the conclusions,” Carvalho said in an e-mail, responding to questions from Reuters.
“As for speculation about cyber attacks, sabotage or human error, at this time there is no evidence” that any of those could have caused the outage, the minister told Reuters in a written statement.
Spain’s energy minister said last week that an abrupt loss of power generation at a site in Granada, followed by outages seconds later in Badajoz and Seville, triggered the unprecedented blackout across Spain and Portugal on April 28.
Iberia lags behind the EU’s target for all countries to have 15% of their energy system interconnected to the broader European network by 2030, with Iberia’s share stuck at just 3%.
Carvalho said that, regardless of the causes of the blackout, Portugal was pondering how to strengthen the resilience and security of the national electricity system, which is a “strategic imperative”.

Britain’s economy expanded strongly in the first quarter of 2025

International news via Reuters:
A downturn for British firms eased in May despite a darkening picture for manufacturers who cut jobs at one of the fastest rates since the global financial crisis almost 20 years ago, according to a survey published on Thursday.
The S&P Global UK Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), a gauge of the private sector economy, rose to 49.4 from 48.5 in April, roughly as expected by economists polled by Reuters and matching the reading for the euro zone.
Readings below 50 denote a contraction in business activity.
While the services sector which dominates Britain’s economy edged back into growth territory, factories reported the biggest drop in jobs since May 2020 which dragged the manufacturing PMI down.
Official data published earlier this month showed Britain’s economy expanded strongly in the first quarter of 2025.
However, the Bank of England believes the underlying pace of growth is far weaker and Wednesday’s PMI chimed with that view, with survey compiler S&P Global warning of the possibility of an economic contraction in the second quarter.
“The PMIs suggest that the biggest hit to the economy was in April and things are now starting to recover,” said Thomas Pugh, economist at tax and consulting firm RSM.
“That said, growth is likely to be bumpy this year, and the economy will still be facing the headwinds of tariffs, uncertainty and taxes that it didn’t have in Q1.”
The PMI showed businesses grew a little cheerier about the outlook, with fewer worries about the impact of higher U.S. trade tariffs. Earlier this month Britain and the United States signed an accord to reduce tariffs and trade barriers in key areas.
U.S. President Donald Trump has also suspended the heaviest of his tariff increases for other countries, easing some of the concerns about their impact on the global economy.
“Although brighter news on tariffs and trade appears to have helped restore some confidence among businesses, sentiment about prospects in the year ahead is still subdued,” said Chris Williamson, S&P Global Market Intelligence’s chief business economist.
Thursday’s survey showed business price pressures weakened noticeably in May which may reassure BoE officials after data on Wednesday showed consumer price inflation jumped last month by more than expected.
The PMI for the services sector rose in May to 50.2 from 49.0, although new orders contracted at the fastest rate since late 2022 – a bad omen for future months.
Still, services firms in Britain performed a little better than their French and German peers in May, the PMIs showed.
British manufacturers, however, fared far worse.
The UK manufacturing PMI fell to 45.1 from 45.4 and the jobs index for the sector sank to its lowest level since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Outside of that, it was the lowest since the 2008-09 recession.
April’s PMI showed British manufacturers suffered a greater fall in export orders than in any of the 28 countries measured by S&P Global. That index improved in May, but stayed deep in contraction territory.
A separate survey from the Confederation of British Industry showed British manufacturers this month suffered the sharpest contractions in orders and output since around the turn of the year.
Latest in two decades of legal action brought by members of the wider Chagossian diaspora

International news via Reuters:
Britain was temporarily blocked from concluding a deal on the Chagos Islands with Mauritius on Thursday after an eleventh-hour injunction by London’s High Court, postponing an agreement aimed at securing the future of the U.S.-UK Diego Garcia air base.
Lawyers representing a British national born in the Chagos Islands argued the deal should be blocked pending a full legal challenge, as they sought to uphold an eleventh-hour injunction postponing the agreement.
Britain had been set to sign the multi-billion dollar deal to cede sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius on Thursday, aimed at securing the future of the U.S.-UK Diego Garcia air base.
But in the early hours an injunction was granted by the High Court, forcing the government to abandon the announcement and prompting an emergency court hearing.
The deal, the details of which were first announced in October, would allow Britain to retain control of the strategically important base on Diego Garcia, the largest island of the archipelago in the Indian Ocean, under a 99-year lease.
The injunction was granted following action by Bertrice Pompe, a British national who was born in Diego Garcia and has criticised the deal for excluding Chagossians. Her lawyer Philip Rule said the injunction should continue until their challenge to the proposed deal was heard.
Lawyers for the British government, however, say the case is hopeless as foreign policy issues such as signing international treaties are a matter for ministers, not courts, to decide.
Britain’s Foreign Office said in court filings opposing the interim injunction that there was “a narrow window of time for the treaty to be signed” on Thursday before a parliamentary break.
Blocking the deal would also “be damaging to relations especially with the USA with whom the UK shares the strategically important defence facility on Diego Garcia”, the lawyers added.
DECADES OF LEGAL CASES
Thursday’s hearing is the latest legal action in the last two decades brought by members of the wider Chagossian diaspora, many of whom ended up in Britain after being forcibly removed from the Indian Ocean archipelago more than 50 years ago.
They have said they cannot endorse an agreement they were not consulted on, while critics have also said the deal plays into the hands of China, which has close trade ties with Mauritius.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was due to join a virtual signing ceremony with representatives from the Mauritian government, the Telegraph newspaper reported earlier.
The British government said it would not comment on ongoing legal cases, but said the deal was the right thing to protect the British people and the country’s national security.
In 1965 Britain detached the Chagos Islands from Mauritius – a former colony that became independent three years later – to create the British Indian Ocean Territory.
Under the planned 99-year agreement, Britain will pay Mauritius 3 billion pounds ($4 billion) to secure the future of Diego Garcia, U.S. State Department officials said before the injunction was granted.
The financial component includes 3 billion pounds to be paid by Britain to Mauritius over the 99-year term of the agreement, with an option for a 50-year extension and Britain maintaining the right of first refusal thereafter.
The base’s capabilities are extensive and strategically crucial. Recent operations launched from Diego Garcia include bombing strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen (2024-2025), humanitarian aid deployments to Gaza, and further back, attacks against Taliban and al-Qaeda targets in Afghanistan in 2001.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who took office in November, indicated his backing for the deal in February after meeting Starmer in Washington, following some uncertainty over his administration’s support. Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden had backed the agreement.

Incident prompting heightened security at Israeli embassies around the world

International news via Reuters:
Two Israeli embassy staffers committed to Israel-Palestinian dialogue and about to get engaged, were killed by a lone gunman in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday night, and a suspect who chanted pro-Palestine slogans is in custody, officials said.
The two were shot and killed as they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum, about 1.3 miles (2 km) from the White House.
Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith said a man shot at a group of four people with a handgun, hitting both the victims. He was seen pacing outside the museum prior to the shooting.
The victims, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were locally employed staff, the Israeli foreign ministry said. They were both trying to promote reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians, separate advocacy groups each belonged to said.
Smith said the single suspect, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, chanted “Free Palestine, Free Palestine”, after being taken into custody by event security having entered the museum.
“Once in handcuffs, the suspect identified where he discarded the weapon, and that weapon has been recovered, and he implied that he committed the offense,” she said, adding that he had had no previous contact with police.
Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the U.S., told reporters the young man killed had “purchased a ring this week with the intention of proposing to his girlfriend next week in Jerusalem”.
President Donald Trump condemned the shooting. “These horrible D.C. killings, based obviously on antisemitism, must end, NOW!” he said in a message on Truth Social. “Hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his heart ached for the families of the victims, “whose lives were cut short in a moment by an abhorrent antisemitic murderer”.
“We are witness to the terrible cost of the antisemitism and wild incitement against the State of Israel,” he said on X, adding that both “must be fought to the utmost.”
Security would be stepped up at Israeli embassies around the world, he said.
POLITICAL BACKDROP
The shootings could result in Netanyahu and his far-right partners taking a harder line in the conflict in Gaza, as well as generate sympathy for Israel from Western allies who have been piling pressure on him to ease the aid blockade in the war-ravaged territory.
Wednesday’s shooting is also certain to further convulse the U.S. debate over the war in Gaza, which has polarized steadfast supporters of Israel and pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
Conservative Israel supporters led by Trump have branded pro-Palestinian demonstrators as antisemitic.
Trump has cut off funding to elite U.S. universities that he says have permitted antisemitic demonstrations, and his administration has detained foreign student demonstrators without charges.
Deputy FBI Director Don Bongino said the suspect was being interviewed by the police and the FBI.
“Early indicators are that this is an act of targeted violence,” he said in a post on X. “Our FBI team is fully engaged and we will get you answers as soon as we can, without compromising additional leads.”
The event at the Capital Jewish Museum was held by the American Jewish Committee, an advocacy group that supports Israel and confronts antisemitism, according to its website.
Called the Young Diplomats Reception, an online invitation described it as bringing together Jewish professionals between the ages of 22 and 45 and the Washington diplomatic community.
The German-Israeli Society said Lischinsky had grown up in Bavaria and spoke fluent German.
“We remember him as an open-minded, intelligent and deeply committed person whose interest in German-Israeli relations and ways to achieve peaceful coexistence in the Middle East brightened the environment around him,” said the society’s president, Volker Beck.
Tech2Peace, an advocacy group training young Palestinians and Israelis and promoting dialogue between them, said Milgrim was an active volunteer who “brought people together with empathy and purpose”.
“Her dedication to building a better future was evident in everything she did,” it said. “Her voice and spirit will be profoundly missed.”
Hours after the shooting, several people gathered at the scene, in the area of 3rd and F Streets, including one who knelt on the ground at the intersection with a modified Israeli flag draped over his shoulders.
‘WE STAND STRONG’
Aaron Shemtov, who is studying at a rabbinical college in California, said he came to show support.
“When a member of the community gets murdered and gets killed for who he is, we stand proud, we stand strong, and we never give up,” Shemtov said.
Rabbi Levi Shemtov, who was also at the scene, said the couple had attended his Washington synagogue occasionally.
“It’s very sad to see that instead of these people coming to the ultimate celebration of their life – they were about to get engaged – they get shot dead in the street just because of who they are,” said the rabbi.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said the shooting was a direct result of “toxic antisemitic incitement against Israel and Jews around the world” since the attack on Israel by Hamas militants in October 2023 that prompted the Israeli military campaign in Gaza.
Rights advocates have noted both rising antisemitism and anti-Arab hate in the U.S. since then.
Such incidents have included an unsuccessful plot to attack a New York Jewish center, an arson attack on Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence and attacks on Florida businesses perceived as pro-Israel.
Incidents linked to anti-Palestinian prejudice have included the fatal stabbing of a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy in Illinois, the attempted drowning of a 3-year-old Palestinian American girl in Texas, a New York City assault by a pro-Israeli mob that chanted “Death to Arabs” and a violent mob attack on pro-Palestinian protesters in California.

All proposed venues must be completed at least a year before the start of the Games

International news via Reuters:
The International Olympic Committee’s confidence that Brisbane organisers were on the right path to host the 2032 Olympics has been reaffirmed by a three-day visit to the city by the coordination commission, its new chief said on Thursday.
Former showjumper Mikaela Cojuangco Jaworski officially took over during the visit from IOC President-elect Kirsty Coventry as chair of the commission, which oversees preparations for the Games on behalf of the Olympic movement.
“Through our regular engagement with the organising committee, we are confident that Brisbane 2032 is on the right path,” Jaworski told a news conference in Brisbane.
“This week gave us meaningful opportunity to witness progress firsthand and to reaffirm our commitment to Games that will leave a lasting legacy for the community and place Brisbane confidently on the world stage.”
Jaworski said the example of the legacies for Melbourne and Sydney when those cities hosted the Games in 1956 and 2000 should convince waverers in Brisbane of how beneficial the Olympics would be for the city.
“Melbourne has hosted, and Sydney has hosted, and there’s certainly legacy there,” she said.
“There’s a lot of goodwill globally remembering these cities as hosts, and I think we can count on Brisbane … being brought to the world stage (if) we have a successful Games.”
Since the last meeting of the coordination commission, the Queensland government has published its third, and what it says will be the final, venue plan for the Games.
Despite bid commitments on sustainability in line with the IOC’s “New Norm” reforms for host cities, the plan included the building of a new Olympic stadium and a national aquatics centre in an inner city Brisbane park.
“When you talk about the ‘New Norm’, I think one of the key things is about the Games being part of the city or the host,” Jaworski said in answering a question about the changes.
“It’s not about turning the host into what the Games need, but the other way around. So it is unique.”
CREATE CERTAINTY
Local organising committee chief Andrew Liveris said it had been a relief to finally get a plan in place his team could enact, even if he did not think any ground would be broken on the big new venues until the end of 2026.
“I haven’t been able to wipe the smile off my face (since the announcement),” he said.
“I love to plan and implement. It’s really hard to plan when the plan keeps moving on you, right? So our job now is to create certainty out of this plan. There’s work to do on that.
“We’re not out of the woods completely, but we are mostly out of the woods, and we have certainty around some pretty big decisions.”
Liveris said all the venues needed to be completed at least a year before the start of the Games and accepted that issues of labour shortages in Australia’s construction industry and local building constraints were a concern.
“We are part of a bigger problem, and one that has to be solved by the current (Queensland) government,” Liveris said. “They’re very dedicated to doing it.”

A 17-year old appeared in Plea Court today, charged with the murder of Ethan Arruda.
Magistrate Maria Sofianos ordered that the accused not be named in the media.
However, the accused did not have to enter a plea today as the case must be heard in Supreme Court – by which time the male defendent may have turned 18.
Bermuda Broadcasting understands that the matter of naming the accused may be revisited at that time.
Ethan Arruda, 17, was fatally stabbed at a party in Devonshire last October.
Today’s case was adjourned until the July arraignments. The Royal Gazette reports that Magistrate Sofianos released the 17-year-old accused on $25,000 bail, an electronic monitoring device and a daily curfew.
Press release: The Department of Public Transportation (DPT) wishes to advise the public that due to the extensive road closures required for the Bermuda Day Half-Marathon Derby, associated races and the Bermuda Day Parade festivities, bus service will begin at 10:30 am on Bermuda Day, Friday, May 23, 2025, on the holiday schedule.
