Man dies after falling at Oasis gig in London
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox LONDON - A man in his 40s has died after falling at an Oasis concert at London's Wembley stadium, the police said on Aug 3. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who brought the iconic Britpop band back together for a blockbuster world tour this year, told the BBC they were 'shocked and saddened' by the fan's death at the Aug 2 evening gig. According to a spokesperson for the London Metropolitan Police, officers and medics were called to the scene after 10:00 pm (2100 GMT) following 'reports that a person had been injured' at the packed stadium. 'A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene,' the spokesperson said, urging any witnesses to come forward. 'Our thoughts go out to his family,' a spokesperson for Wembley said, while adding that 'tonight's Oasis concert will go ahead as planned'. Aug 3's gig will be Oasis's last London date of the band's 41-gig reunion world tour after 16 years of estrangement between the famously volatile Gallaghers. The tour has sold around 900,000 tickets, with the group heading to Edinburgh next before its international leg takes them to the United States, Japan, Australia and Brazil. AFP

US trade advisor says Trump tariff rates unlikely to change
WASHINGTON: New US tariff rates are "pretty much set" with little immediate room for negotiation, US President Donald Trump's trade advisor said in remarks aired Sunday (Aug 3), also defending the president's politically driven levies against Brazil. Trump, who has wielded tariffs as a tool of American economic might, has set tariff rates for dozens of economies, including the European Union, at between 10 and 41 per cent, come August 7, his new hard deadline for the duties. In a pre-taped interview broadcast Sunday on CBS's "Face the Nation," US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said "the coming days" are not likely to see changes in the tariff rates. "A lot of these are set rates pursuant to deals. Some of these deals are announced, some are not, others depend on the level of the trade deficit or surplus we may have with the country," Greer said. "These tariff rates are pretty much set." Undoubtedly, some trade ministers "want to talk more and see how they can work in a different way with the United States," he added. But "we're seeing truly the contours of the president's tariff plan right now with these rates." The US had announced hiked tariff rates on dozens of trade partners, which will kick in on August 7 instead of August 1, which had previously been touted as a hard deadline. Among the countries facing steep new levies is Brazil. South America's largest economy is being hit with 50 per cent tariffs on exports to the United States -- albeit with significant exemptions for key products such as aircraft and orange juice. Trump has openly admitted he is punishing Brazil for prosecuting his political ally Jair Bolsonaro, the ex-president accused of plotting a coup in a bid to cling to power. The US president has described the case as a "witch hunt." Greer said it was not unusual for Trump to use tariff tools for geopolitical purposes. "The president has seen in Brazil, like he's seen in other countries, a misuse of law, a misuse of democracy," Greer told CBS. "It is normal to use these tools for geopolitical issues." Trump was "elected to assess the foreign affairs situation... and take appropriate action," he added. Meanwhile, White House economic advisor Kevin Hassett said that while talks are expected to continue over the next week with some US trade partners, he concurred with Greer's tariffs assessment in that the bulk of the rates "are more or less locked in." Asked by the host of NBC's Sunday talk show "Meet the Press with Kristen Welker" if Trump could change tariff rates, should financial markets react negatively, Hassett said: "I would rule it out, because these are the final deals." Legal challenges have been filed against some of Trump's tariffs, arguing he overstepped his authority. An appeals court panel on Thursday appeared sceptical of the government's arguments, though the case may be ultimately decided at the Supreme Court.

Growing up, I never realized that our food obsession was really about food insecurity
First Person is a daily personal piece submitted by readers. Have a story to tell? See our guidelines at Food – the foraging, gathering, saving and consumption of – has always been a THING in my family. Growing up, I thought all normal people had a food bunker in their basement. After all, we certainly did. Our bunker was known as the 'Cold Room', and it had been constructed with the thoroughness and attention to detail that my dad applied to every project that he ever took on. The Cold Room was a kind of mini masterpiece. It housed one of those giant chest freezers and shelving precisely measured to fit pint- and quart-sized mason jars, with their sturdy glass lids and red rubber seals. The ginormous freezer was usually filled with a side of beef, a whole pig, occasional roasting chickens and well-priced turkeys. The Christmas baking, too, of course. But the pièce de résistance in the Cold Room was the bespoke vegetable bins used to store root vegetables (potatoes, carrots, beets, onions) for the long, long winter. In a less-than-enlightened moment, my dad chose to store his fall stash in bulk dry Zonolite, a toxic precursor to today's benign vermiculite. Although I'm still a citizen of this planet, I often wonder how much asbestos dust I inhaled when I was forced to dumpster-dive for the last veggie stragglers found at the bottom of the bins in the spring. August was typically the pinnacle of the year, when the garden produced its annual bounty. Seeds were maintained year to year for radishes, scallions, peas, carrots, beets, green beans, wax beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce (two crops). As the oldest child, I despised and hated August as it was predetermined that not one item from the garden would be left to compost. I was always dreaming up ways to escape from the endless picking and prepping. There was always something to blanch, scrub or shuck. It was totally relentless and didn't stop with the vegetables. Somebody was always going to the Okanagan on vacation and would be contracted to bring back cases of peaches, pears and plums to fill those vintage mason jars. Travelling 30 times a year, I've learned how to buy healthy groceries at home and abroad Then there were the endless savories. Another job to avoid – dill pickles. First you had to brush-scrub all those prickly pickling cucumbers and then stuff quart jars with fresh dill and as many cucumbers as possible. Fortunately, we were then a no-garlic family, or there would have been endless garlic to peel, too. Other pickles included mustard beans, sweet mixed as well as 'bread and butter' pickles. Lotta, lotta! As a child and teenager, I just assumed everybody lived like this. Didn't everyone take their children potato-picking after the first frost? Or into the prairie bush for Saskatoons? In hindsight, I have finally been able to realize that this whole 'food' obsession was really about food insecurity. My dad had known childhood hunger. He'd been raised in utter poverty. Children were sent to the butcher to beg for bones. Supper was too frequently pancakes. My dad was determined that his own family would never face the hunger he had experienced. It must have been his worst fear. A few summers ago, while I was preparing a prawn fry for prairie guests, a visitor asked me, 'Do you always have that much food in your fridge?' I was somewhat taken aback at the question. But there was no doubt about my answer – 'Yes, always!' It's August and (as usual) my fridge and freezer are full of fresh local produce. I'm collecting the first of my grape tomatoes. We were able to purchase early peaches-and-cream corn at a favourite farmstand. The Red Russian garlic is gorgeous and plump. There were sweet yellow plums for breakfast and the local raspberries and strawberries are mouthwatering. Blueberries are for sale at $2/lb. A big bag of gift apples was turned into two pies for the freezer and there's rhubarb for compote. The blackberries are almost ready for jam. I will be daydreaming about all these fruits and vegetables come the bleak days of January. In reflecting on the state of my fridge and pantry I have to conclude I've obviously absorbed a lot of life lessons – and that the acorn has indeed not fallen far from the family tree. In fact, it has probably sprouted a few roots. Anne Letain lives in Ladysmith, B.C.
