US PPI Muted in May, Recurring Jobless Claims Jump
00:00 Looks like we've got a fairly benign PPI coming in with final demand and core coming in a just a 10th core ex trade up, also just a 10th. So that leaves the year over year headline pie at 2.6%. The core pie falls to 3% from 3.1% and we get a 2.7% core ex trade. So that looks like in line. I'll get you some break down in just a second. Jobless claims come in at 248,000. That's 1000 more than last week, although last week was revised up to 248. So now we're looking at an unchanged jobless claims situation. Again, this is a difficult seasonal adjustment time of year. It does not suggest that there is any kind of problem with the labor market at the moment, even though we're sort of at an elevated level compared to where we had been earlier in the year.

Streets underwater as UK town hit by thunderstorm floods amid weather warnings
Thunderstorms have hit the UK and are expected to continue into the weekend with major flooding for the southwest of England but forecasters also say the country could see its hottest day of the year Brits have been battered by heavy rain that have left streets underwater as major flooding hits parts of the country. Residents were pictured struggling to stop water gushing into their homes and businesses in Plymouth, after heavy rainfall, with cars and buses left submerged in the streets. The Met Office said that some areas may see about two inches of rain in a few hours and winds of up to 50mph between Thursday and Saturday. Temperatures may reach 30C on Friday, which would make it the hottest day of 2025, surpassing the 29.3C recorded at Kew Gardens in west London on May 1. It means the parts of the UK could be hotter than Ibiza, Mykonos, and even Los Angeles. New images show drivers trying to make their way through large floods with major traffic congestion in the southwest. A major road in the city is currently closed due to flooding. There are major traffic delays near Gdynia Way and Exeter Street as heavy rain has flooded the roads. One witness has told PlymouthLive it is "chaos". They said: "Cars getting stuck heading into the cinema way". Plymouth Highways has confirmed Gdynia Way is currently closed in both directions. It said: "Gdynia Way is currently closed in both directions due to flooding". It also added that Kings Street is closed. "Kings Street is currently closed due to flooding near the junction with Western Approach". The Met Office has a yellow warning for thunderstorms across the southwest of England, the west of England and across Wales. It is in place until 7pm this evening. At the same time there is a yellow warning for rain in Northern Ireland until 9pm. The thunderstorm warning reads: "An area of rain will continue northwards across parts of southwest England and Wales during Thursday. "The rain will be locally heavy. A few places may see 10-20 mm of rain in an hour, and 30-40 mm in 3 hours or less, leading to a risk of disruption. There is a chance of some thunderstorms forming within this area, particularly during the afternoon. Winds will also be strong at times, perhaps gusting to 40-50 mph around hills and coasts." The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued its first yellow heat-health alert of the year, running from 9pm Thursday to 8am Sunday and covering the east of England, East Midlands, London, and the south east. Forecasters say an inch and a half of rain could fall over a few hours and winds could reach 50mph. Other regions may see showers, but northern England and Scotland are expected to remain mostly dry and warm, with highs of up to 27C, the Met Office said. From Friday afternoon, thunderstorms are forecast across eastern and south-eastern England, including London, with up to 50mm of rain possible in a few hours before conditions ease on Saturday morning. These storms could bring flooding, travel disruption, power cuts, and damage from hail, lightning and gusty winds, forecasters said. Earlier on Friday, conditions are expected to be dry with temperatures between 27 and 28C but there may be highs of 30C if skies remain clear, the Met Office said. Met Office forecaster Simon Partridge said: 'We've got a very warm, humid, spell of wet weather to come. 'It's all because we've got air moving in from the south, so the air is originating across Spain and Portugal and has been moving its way northwards. 'We're going to see increasingly humid conditions with very warm days and some quite muggy nights as well and the general gist is that western parts of the UK are likely to see the majority of the rain and the thundery showers. But, as we go into Friday, we could see some of that also moving across the east and south east as well for some thunder there for a time.' What should I expect from storms? Spray and sudden flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures Where flooding or lightning strikes occur, there is a chance of delays and some cancellations to train and bus services There is a slight chance that power cuts could occur and other services to some homes and businesses could be lost There is a small chance that homes and businesses could be flooded quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds

Sex Pistols' John Lydon gives the reason why he will never appear on Celebrity Big Brother
Sex Pistols' John Lydon gives the reason why he will never appear on Celebrity Big Brother The Pretty Vacant singer has vowed to never enter the CBB house He left the jungle just a few days into the competition (Image: ITV ) Former Sex Pistols singer John Lydon will never appear on Celebrity Big Brother because the programme is beneath him. The 69-year-old musician - who was known as Johnny Rotten during his time in the iconic punk band - gets offered opportunities to appear on television but is usually uninterested in the shows offered to him. The Pretty Vacant singer has vowed to never enter the CBB house because he doesn't want to be known as a celebrity. When asked if he would ever consider going on Celebrity Big Brother, he said: "That's too low for me, that's silly. "I'm not trying to be a celebrity. Whatever I am it's always been done in spite of that nonsense. I'm the accidental celebrity." John did appear on ITV reality show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004 and earned many new fans due to his non-nonsense approach to jungle life and his clashes with former glamour model Katie Price, who used the name Jordan for her photo shoots and work at that time. He famously branded Katie a "Page 3 blow-up balloon" during one bust-up. Article continues below Although Lydon quit after a few days, storming out of camp in the middle of the night after he wasn't voted off by the British public, the programme proved to be a significant moment in his later career and he appeared in a series of advertisements promoting Country Life butter afterwards. John - who is currently on tour with his band Public Image Ltd - is grateful he got the chance to appear on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! because it allowed people to see who he really is as a man as opposed what they perceived him to be because of his Johnny Rotten persona. In an interview with website Contact Music, he said: "Things like I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! helped. "That gave people the chance to see me for how I really was 24/7 with a camera on me. "I'm practical in life. If it's cold I'll light a fire. You can't drink the water in the jungle so you boil it, common sense things. That's just how I am." John did not accept a fee for his time in Australia on the show, instead asking ITV to give money to several charities he supported. Article continues below He said: "My god, they bothered me for years, and I wouldn't do it, but they guaranteed they would pay certain charities that I was affectionate towards. So I did it for that."
