But data suggests “the rate of recovery in growth is slowing in most economies, with pent-up demand dissipating, and the rise of renewed lockdowns threatening recovery”, it added. However, steel production in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Europe are showing signs of recovery, it added. Rio also said the start of production at its Winu copper project in Australia’s Pilbara region could be delayed beyond 2023 because talks with indigenous traditional land owners could take longer than anticipated.

Judge lifts Texas governor’s order limiting ballot drop boxes to one per countyNEW: Texas judge lifts order by Republican Gov. Abbott that limited counties to a single drop-off location for absentee ballots in the Nov. 3 presidential election, siding with Democrats who have denounced the limit as voter suppression. OMFG THIS IS LIKE WATCHING TENNIS! Stop messing with voting, This should be the easiest thing to do as Americans. It’s our basic right as Americans that many sacrificed and died for, honor it. Vote out the candidates on the ballot that are suppressing and obstructing the process so they can cheat. This is GARBAGE!! Whatever happened to states rights? I suppose they want to have a Dropbox on every street corner to make it easier to vote.
