Live news: Japan schedules release of contaminated Fukushima water into ocean
Argentina closed the year with annual inflation accelerating to 95 per cent, bringing the South American country narrowly outside the five triple-digit inflation nations globally.
Prices rose by 5.1 per cent in the month of December, increasing slightly after three consecutive months of decline and bringing the 12-month figure to 94.8 per cent, according to the government statistics agency Indec. That was the highest rate since 1991, when the country was emerging from a hyperinflation crisis.
Soaring prices have largely been attributed to a bout of central bank money-printing, as well as Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Argentina sits among the six countries that experienced the highest rates last year, but is behind Zimbabwe, Lebanon, Venezuela, Syria and Sudan, which experienced triple-digit inflation last year.
Argentina’s finance minister, Sergio Massa, attributed the modest decline in December to a price control scheme known as “Fair Prices” or Precios Justos, which has temporarily frozen the cost of over 1,700 goods until December 2023. Similar price controls introduced in 2021 failed to curb inflation. The minister added that monthly price rises could start to fall, to 3 per cent by April.
Economists widely expect inflation in Argentina to remain stubbornly high throughout 2023 as the country enters a presidential election year and are sceptical of the effectiveness of the latest government measures.
Earlier this week, the World Bank warned that bringing inflation below 90 per cent will be a complex challenge in 2023.
Consumer sentiment in Argentina has continued to deteriorate. The value of the local peso on the widely used parallel exchange rate has fallen to historic lows against the US dollar as savers fearful of a further devaluation convert their pesos into more trustworthy holdings. On Thursday the peso fell to 360 against the dollar.
Were your teen years exhausting? School schedules may be why
If you went to high school in the US, you may recall early morning extracurriculars, sleeping through first period algebra, or bleary-eyed late-night study sessions (as opposed to other wide-awake “study sessions” we told our parents we were having). As an adult, you might wonder if there’s a better time to explore Shakespeare than at 8 am, or expand a Taylor series right after you collapsed into your chair, half-asleep from your sunrise bus ride.
As it turns out, early school start times for US high schools are built on a shaky scientific foundation, as journalist and parent Lisa Lewis lays out in her new book, The Sleep-Deprived Teen. She details why high schools in the US tend to start early, the science behind why that’s bad for kids, and how later school start times can benefit not only teenagers, but, well… everyone. Perhaps most importantly, she provides a primer on advocating for change in your community.
The wheels on the bus go round and round
Our early start times are a bit of a historical accident. In the first half of the 20th century, schools tended to be small and local—most students could walk. Lewis points out that in 1950, there were still 60,000 one-room schoolhouses around the country. By 1960, that number had dwindled to around 20,000.
According to Lewis, that trend accelerated as authorities in the US feared that education—especially in science and math—lagged behind that of its arch nemesis, the Soviet Union. She describes how a 1959 report written by James Bryant Conant, a chemist and retired Harvard University president, recommended that high schools have graduating class sizes of at least 100—a far cry from small local schoolhouses. School consolidation, which had already begun, hastened. Neighborhood schools continued to close. And the yellow school bus was locked into a trajectory toward its current iconic status.
To minimize costs associated with busing, Lewis describes how many districts staggered school start times so they could use the same buses for transporting elementary, middle, and high school students. At the time, there was a societal consensus that teenagers needed less sleep than youngsters, so high schools got the earliest slots.
And the science says…
In the 1950s and 1960s, scientists had yet to delve into teen sleep. But that began to change in the 1970s, beginning with the Stanford Summer Sleep Camp experiment led by then-doctoral student Mary Carskadon, now a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University. Lewis takes readers through highlights of the multi-year study, in which scientists tracked sleeping patterns and metrics ranging from brain wave monitoring to cognitive tests in the same children over 10 years, from 1976 to 1985.
Surprising results came from this first look at teen sleep. For example, adolescents needed the same or even more sleep than younger children. On average, all children in the study, regardless of age, slept 9.25 hours per night. Subsequent studies have shown that the ideal amount of sleep for teens lies between 8 and 10 hours per night. Yet Lewis reports that by 2019, a mere 22 percent of high school students reported regularly getting at least eight hours of shut-eye, according to the CDC.
Another key finding from the Stanford Summer Sleep Camp experiment was that older kids had bursts of energy later in the day. Subsequent studies showed that as kids hit puberty, their brains delay the release of melatonin—the hormone that makes us sleepy. For teens, melatonin rises later at night and falls later in the morning, shifting their circadian rhythms. High schoolers’ propensity to stay up late and sleep the morning away isn’t necessarily laziness or defiance—it’s biological.
Yet here we are, decades later, with average school start times in 2017 beginning at 8 am and 40 percent of schools starting even earlier. This is a dramatic change from a century ago when high schools in the eestern US began at 9 am, notes Lewis.
Why haven’t schools adjusted to this influx of new information? Well, some schools have. Lewis threads several examples throughout the book, showcasing schools that reaped positive effects aplenty, even in the age of smartphones and social media.
Lewis describes one study, published in 2018, in which students slept an additional 34 minutes each school night when their Seattle district shifted start time to 8:45 am That might not seem like much, but many students and families provided positive feedback, as did the teachers, with one describing the morning ambiance as “upbeat”—an adjective many of us might find unfathomable for first period.
It’s not just about money. Unions fighting for better schedules, safety and work conditions
There has been a surge in union activism — including strikes and organizing efforts — in the last year that is being driven by factors far beyond pay rates and benefits packages.
A presidential panel looking at that labor dispute recommended the two sides agree to a five-year contract that includes an immediate 14% raise, backpay from 2020, and a 24% pay increase over the course of the contract. That’s less than the 31% in raises over five years the union is seeking, but more than the 17% previously offered by railroad management.
That was enough to get some of the unions to agree to tentative deals, but not the unions that represent more than 90,000 workers, including those who make up the two-person crews on freight trains. They appear poised to strike unless Congress acts to keep them on the job.
Those unions say they’re not rejecting the wage offer. Rather, it’s the work rules, staffing and scheduling proposals they object to, which require them to be on call, and ready to report to work, seven days a week for much of the year. If it were just a question of wages, a deal between the two sides would likely already be in place.
“We’re not going to sit here and argue about [wages] or health care. We’re beyond that,” said Jeremy Ferguson, president of the union that represents conductors, one of the two workers on freight trains along with the engineer.
The unions say conditions on the job are driving thousands of workers to quit jobs that they previously would have kept for their entire careers, creating untenable conditions for the remaining workers. Changing those work rules, including the on-call requirement, is the main demand.
“The word has gotten out these are not attractive jobs the way they treat workers,” said Dennis Pierce, president of the union representing engineers. “Employees have said ‘I’ve had enough.'”
Noneconomic issues driving other strikes
And it’s not just the railroad workers who have reached this breaking point.
Monday about 15,000 nurses started a 3-day strike against 13 hospitals in Minnesota, saying that they needed improved staffing levels and more control over scheduling in order to provide the patients with the care they deserved, and keep the nurses they need on the job.
“We are not on strike for our wages. We’re fighting for the ability to have some say over our profession and the work life balance,” said Mary Turner, a Covid ICU nurse and president of the Minnesota Nurses Association, the union waging the strike.
More than 2,000 mental health professionals are on strike against Kaiser Permanente in California and Hawaii. The union members there say inadequate staffing is depriving patients of care and preventing them from doing their jobs effectively.
Alexis Petrakis, a member of the union’s bargaining committee and a child therapist at Kaiser for the last three years, said she had never been in a union before and didn’t expect to be going on strike this time. But she said the poor quality of care and the company’s inability to schedule visits for new patients for up to six weeks because of staffing issues, have pushed her and her co-workers to walk out.
“Being away from my patients is heartbreaking. But what I go back to is they were getting inadequate care,” Petrakis said. “The curtain is being lifted on this broken system. It needs to change now. I’m doing everything I can so their care moving forward is better.”
Teachers in Columbus, Ohio, went on strike at the start of the school year complaining about large class sizes and dilapidated schools where a lack of heating and air conditioning has created miserable classroom environments. The school district, the largest in Ohio, quickly settled.
Organizing also surges on workplace worries
The complaints about working conditions, safety, and quality of life issues aren’t just prompting strikes. They’re also driving a surge in organizing efforts.
The successful unionization effort at an Amazon distribution center in Staten Island, New York, started with concerns over worker safety in the early days of the pandemic. It was the first successful union vote at an Amazon (AMZN) facility.
Worker safety protocols and the desire to have a voice in the way stores are run are major reasons why baristas at more than 200 Starbucks nationwide have voted to join a union in the last nine months.
These noneconomic issues might seem unique to today, but they were behind the very foundation of the US labor movement a century ago.
Employees fighting for safer working conditions and quality-of-life issues such as weekends off, holidays, paid vacation and a 40-hour week helped unions establish a toehold in the US and led to their growth in the first half of the 20th century.
Union members aren’t the only ones voicing concerns about these issues. Some economists attribute the so-called “Great Resignation” that saw a record number of workers quit their jobs starting in 2021, to employees’ greater focus on quality-of-life issues. And they say the pandemic brought these issues to light for many workers.
Beyond the impact that had on the broader labor force, concerns about work conditions has resulted in a surge of union activism.
There have been 263 strikes so far this year, according to a database kept by Cornell University, up 84% from the same period last year.
And there have been 826 union elections at workplaces from January through July of this year, up 45% from the number held in the same period of 2021, according to data from the National Labor Relations Board, which oversees the votes. The 70% success rate by unions in those votes is far better than the 42% in the first seven months of 2021.
Those surges in activity would never have happened without the non-economic issues coming front and center, according to union officials.
“That’s definitely what’s driving the voice of the workers around the country. It’s not just pocketbook issues,” said Fred Redmond, secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO. “They want their voices heard. They’re working horrendous schedules. Workers are finding out their bosses don’t respect their voice, they don’t respect them.”
Experts agree that the unions are finding newfound success because of worker anger about noneconomic issues.
“Unions are successful when they are building on things that workers are concerned about,” said Alexander Colvin, dean of the school of industrial and labor relations at Cornell University.
“The scheduling, the health and safety concerns, those are very important,” he added. “There’s certainly an opportunity for the unions there.”
And experts say these issues are a good sign for continued union strength going forward.
“The rising of importance of the noneconomic issues … suggests a rebirth of the labor movement,” said Todd Vachon, a professor of labor studies at Rutgers University. “Economic demand for labor will ebb and flow. The more encompassing the demands that labor brings to the table, the better they’ll be able to weather the changes in the economic business cycle.”

Washington Post column: Midterms looking ‘much better’ for Democrats because of Trump
After months of polling that showed a red wave could be imminent, Democrats could see a possible comeback in the midterms, according to a Washington Post column.
“Suddenly, the 2022 midterms are looking much better for Democrats, and there’s a simple explanation: Donald Trump is back on the ballot, metaphorically speaking,” columnist Dana Milbank wrote on Monday.
Describing the recent shift as a “historical anomaly,” Milbank noted that momentum has shifted in the direction of an incumbent president’s party late in the game of an election year—for the first time in modern history.

Brittney Griner: Russian court schedules start of trial for Friday, her lawyer says
Griner — who has been held in Russia since her arrest at a Moscow airport on allegations of attempted drug smuggling — attended the preliminary hearing in person Monday, arriving at court handcuffed and flanked by guards in black vests, according to a photo by AFP photographer Kirill Kudryavstev. She wore a gray T-shirt and glasses, the photo shows.
Boykov previously told CNN the hearing would occur behind closed doors at the Khimki court, just outside Moscow.
Griner, 31, a Phoenix Mercury player who plays in Russia during the WNBA’s offseason, was arrested February 17. Russian authorities claimed she had cannabis oil in her luggage and accused her of smuggling significant amounts of a narcotic substance, an offense punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Griner’s detention, which has been repeatedly extended, has sparked a wave of support among dozens of organizations in the US that have joined Cherelle Griner, Brittney Griner’s wife, in urging President Joe Biden to strike an exchange deal with Russian authorities to release Griner and bring her home safely as soon as possible.
Griner’s supporters have expressed concern that she might be used as a political pawn, given rising tensions amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
READ: Dozens of organizations sign letter calling on President Biden to strike deal for Brittney Griner’s release
More than 40 organizations — including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, the National Urban League and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association — signed a letter addressed to President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Cherelle Griner one-on-one last Wednesday, according to a senior State Department official. She said last week she hasn’t talked to her wife since February 17.
“I’ve got no higher priority than making sure that Americans who are being illegally detained in one way or another around the world come home,” Sec. Blinken told CNN’s “State of the Union” at the Group of 7 summit Sunday.
“That includes Paul Whelan, that includes Brittney Griner, that includes people in a number of other countries,” he added. Whelan is a US citizen who was detained in Moscow in 2018 and arrested on espionage charges. He has denied the charges.
“I can’t comment in any detail on what we’re doing, except to say this is an absolute priority,” Blinken said.
The US Embassy in Moscow will send a US diplomat to Brittney Griner’s hearing on Friday, a US official told CNN.
A State Department spokesperson reiterated that the Griner is “wrongfully detained,” and said that support for her and her family will continue. “The US government will continue to provide appropriate support to Ms. Griner and her family. We will continue to press for her release.”
Griner was named an honorary WNBA All-Star Game starter last week, with the All-Star Game scheduled to take place on July 10 in Chicago.

NBA playoffs 2022 – Complete first-round matchups, schedules and news
The NBA postseason is here, and it’s shaping up to be a wide-open chase to the 2022 title.
The Phoenix Suns ran away with the league’s best regular-season record — eight games clear of the second-best Memphis Grizzlies. Devin Booker, Chris Paul and the reigning Western Conference champs are on a mission to redeem themselves after last season’s six-game Finals defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Plenty of West contenders stand in the Suns’ way, including Ja Morant and the Grizzlies, MVP favorite Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets and the Golden State Warriors, who are back in the playoffs for the first time since reaching the Finals in 2019.
In the East, the defending champion Bucks are the 3-seed in a log-jammed conference — the top-seeded Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers were separated by just two games in the final regular season standings.
And the Brooklyn Nets, who needed the play-in tournament to clinch the 7-seed, have the star power to shake up the playoffs bracket.
Here’s all the info you need for each first-round matchup, including schedules, news and series-by-series analysis.
