British grocery inflation edges lower in August
LONDON: British grocery inflation nudged down to 5.0 percent over the four weeks to August 10, data from market researcher Worldpanel by Numerator showed on Tuesday, providing limited relief for consumers. The figure, the most up-to-date snapshot of UK food inflation, compares to 5.2 percent in last month's report. Official UK inflation data for July will be published on Wednesday. Britain's food retailers have said that increased employer taxes and regulatory costs as well as higher staff wages have added to the inflationary pressure of rising prices on many commodity markets. 'We've seen a marginal drop in grocery price inflation this month, but we're still well past the point at which price rises really start to bite and consumers are continuing to adapt their behavior to make ends meet,' Fraser McKevitt, head of retail and consumer insight at Worldpanel, said. He noted consumer trips during the three months to mid-July to casual and fast service restaurants were 6 percent lower than a year ago. But as consumers made savings outside the home, they sought treats in store. Sales of branded grocery items were up 6.1 percent over the four weeks, while sales of own-label alternatives were up 4.1 percent. Among the fastest price rises were for chocolate, fresh meat and coffee and the fastest falls were in champagne and sparkling wine, dog food and sugar confectionery, Worldpanel said. Trade body the British Retail Consortium, which represents Britain's biggest retailers, has predicted food inflation will hit 6 percent by the end of the year, putting more pressure on household budgets in the run-up to Christmas. The Bank of England has forecast it will hit 5.5 percent before Christmas and then recede as it anticipates falls on commodity markets. Worldpanel said UK grocery sales grew 4.0 percent over the four-week period year-on-year, indicating sales volumes were down after inflation was taken into account. Discounter Lidl and online supermarket Ocado were Britain's fastest growing grocers over the 12 weeks to August 10, with sales up 10.7 percent. Sales at industry leader Tesco rose 7.4 percent, with its market share up 0.8 percentage points over the year to 28.4 percent. However, number three player Asda struggled with sales down 2.6 percent and a 0.9 percentage points loss of market share year-on-year. — Reuters

Trump names Stallone, Straitamong Kennedy Center honorees
US President Donald Trump on Wednesday named 'Rocky' star Sylvester Stallone and country music great George Strait among the recipients of the Kennedy Center Honors, as he pursues a controversial overhaul of the storied arts venue. Since returning to office in January, the Republican leader has declared war on what he calls 'woke' viewpoints espoused in the nation's cultural institutions, including a fresh probe of content at several Smithsonian museums. The Kennedy Center, a living monument to the late John F. Kennedy that opened in 1971, has long enjoyed bipartisan support but has been in the president's crosshairs, and he appointed himself board chairman in February. 'We have completely reversed the decline of this cherished national institution,' Trump told reporters at the stately white marble complex overlooking the Potomac River. 'We ended the woke political programming.' Also receiving the Kennedy Center Honors, one of the nation's highest arts awards for lifetime achievement, will be disco diva Gloria Gaynor, rock band KISS and British actor Michael Crawford, known for Broadway's 'Phantom of the Opera.' Trump announced he himself would host the awards gala, which usually takes place in early December and is later broadcast on CBS. 'I did not insist, but I think it will be quite successful,' he said. He also joked that he wanted an honor himself but was 'never able to get one.' Rocky and the Phantom Stallone, who at 79 is the same age as Trump, is a three-time Oscar nominee: for best actor and screenplay for the 1976 classic boxing flick 'Rocky,' and for best supporting actor, again in the Rocky Balboa role, in the 2015 follow-up 'Creed.' Trump called Stallone a 'great actor.' He is also a major Trump supporter and one of the president's 'Hollywood ambassadors' along with Jon Voight and Mel Gibson. In November 2024, at a post-election event at Trump's Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida, Stallone called him 'the second George Washington.' Strait, 73, is one of the best-selling musicians of all time, with more than 120 million records sold. He is known for huge hits like 'All My Exes Live in Texas' and 'Amarillo by Morning.' 'He's a good looking guy. Hope he still looks like that,' Trump quipped. Gaynor, 81, is the singer behind the monster disco anthem 'I Will Survive.' KISS, formed in the 1970s in Trump's hometown New York City, gained fame with its shock rock performances and outlandish black and white face paint. 'They work hard, and they're still working hard,' the US president said. Crawford, 83, made his mark on British television in the 1970s before achieving international success by originating the title role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical 'Phantom of the Opera,' thrilling audiences with his powerful tenor voice. 'I think he's one of the greatest talents I've ever actually seen,' Trump said Wednesday. In his first term, from 2017 to 2021, the Republican president skipped the Kennedy Center Honors gala because some of the artists receiving awards criticized him or said they would not attend in his presence. The Kennedy Center is home to the National Symphony Orchestra and also offers theater, opera, comedy and other productions. Many artists associated with the center, including opera singer Renee Fleming and musician Ben Folds, have cut ties with the institution since Trump took the reins. Others including comedian Issa Rae canceled performances. The producers of smash hit historical musical 'Hamilton' opted to cancel a scheduled 2026 run, citing the end of 'neutrality' at the center. 'We're restoring the Kennedy Center as the premier venue for performing arts anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world,' Trump said. 'It was being run down, money wasn't being spent properly. They were building things they shouldn't have built that nobody wanted instead of taking care of the great gem that it is.' The Smithsonian Institution, which runs a vast network of museums, said it was reviewing a White House letter announcing a probe of content aimed at removing 'divisive or partisan narratives.' Among the museums targeted are the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and the National Museum of the American Indian, the letter said.--AFP

Trump pushes for Russia-Ukraine peace deal
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump failed to secure a Ukraine war ceasefire at a high-stakes summit with Russia's President Vladimir Putin but insisted on Saturday that he would now target a full peace agreement to end the conflict. Three hours of talks between the White House and Kremlin leaders at an Alaska air base produced no breakthrough but Trump and European leaders said they wanted a new summit that includes Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky. Zelensky said he will now go to Washington on Monday while European leaders said they were ready to intensify sanctions against Russia after Trump briefed them on the summit and they held their own protracted talks. Trump remained upbeat about meeting Putin in a post on his Truth Social platform. 'A great and very successful day in Alaska!,' he proclaimed, adding that European leaders backed his plan for a three-way meeting with Putin and Zelensky. 'It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a peace agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere ceasefire agreement, which often times do not hold up,' he added confirming his meeting with Zelensky on Monday. 'If all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin. Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved.' After the summit, Trump spoke first with Zelensky, the White House said. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen later joined the call, officials said. The European leaders, who had been wary of being left out of the Alaska meeting, held their own talks on Saturday and said they supported the proposed three-way summit. 'We are also ready to work with President Trump and President Zelensky towards a trilateral summit with European support,' they said in a joint statement that added that pressure must be maintained on Russia. 'As long as the killing in Ukraine continues, we stand ready to uphold the pressure on Russia. We will continue to strengthen sanctions and wider economic measures to put pressure on Russia's war economy until there is a just and lasting peace,' they said. Russia could not have a 'veto' on Ukraine joining the European Union or NATO, they added. The war, that has killed tens of thousands and devastated much of Ukraine, went on despite the summit. Ukraine announced that Russia had launched 85 attack drones and a ballistic missile during the night. Russia said it had taken two more villages in Ukraine. Zelensky said Trump had laid out the 'main points' of the summit and that he would go to the White House on Monday 'to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war'. Trump and Putin emerged from their talks at a Cold War era air base to offer warm words at a press briefing but took no questions from reporters. 'We're not there yet, but we've made progress. There's no deal until there's a deal,' Trump said. He called the meeting 'extremely productive' with 'many points' agreed, but did not offer specifics. 'There are just a very few that are left, some are not that significant, one is probably the most significant,' Trump said without elaborating. 'Next time in Moscow' Putin also spoke in general terms of cooperation at the joint press appearance that lasted just 12 minutes. 'We hope that the understanding we have reached will... pave the way for peace in Ukraine,' Putin said. As Trump mused about a second meeting, Putin smiled and said in English: 'Next time in Moscow'. The former KGB agent tried to flatter Trump, who has voiced admiration for the Russian leader in the past. Before the summit, Trump had warned of 'severe consequences' if Russia did not accept a ceasefire. But when asked about those consequences during a Fox News interview after the talks, Trump said that 'because of what happened today, I think I don't have to think about that now'. Putin warns Western allies Trump, whose tone with Zelensky has changed since he berated the Ukrainian president at the White House in February, told Fox that 'Now it's really up to President Zelensky to get it done'. Trump could not get Russian agreement to get Zelensky into Friday's talks. But Zelensky, who has rejected suggestions that Ukraine give up territory, said Saturday that he supported the American efforts. 'It is important that America's strength has an impact on the development of the situation,' he said. Putin warned Ukraine and European countries to 'not create any obstacles' and not 'make attempts to disrupt this emerging progress through provocation or behind-the-scenes intrigues'. Battlefield gains Russia in recent days has made battlefield gains that could strengthen Putin's hand in any ceasefire negotiations. Although Ukraine announced as Putin was flying in that it had retaken several villages, Russia's army on Saturday claimed the capture of Kolodyazi in Ukraine's Donetsk region and Vorone in the neighbouring Dnipropetrovsk region.- AFP
