The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has launched an investigation into Nike over allegations that the sports giant discriminated against white employees and job applicants. Nike, which described the escalation as “surprising and unusual”, insisted that it adheres to “all applicable laws” on discrimination. “Title VII’s prohibition of race-based employment discrimination is colorblind and requires the EEOC to protect employees of all races from unlawful employment practices,” Lucas said. “We are committed to fair and lawful employment practices and follow all applicable laws, including those that prohibit discrimination. We believe our programs and practices are consistent with those obligations and take these matters seriously.

An independent cinema in Oregon has claimed Amazon pulled screenings of their documentary about Melania Trump in protest at the cinema’s marketing strategy.

The film opened at No 29 in the UK charts, for a weekend screen average of £212. Overall, the film opened in 26 countries globally last Friday, after the South African release was abruptly cancelled the day before, with local distributors citing “the current climate” and “recent developments”.

Keir Starmer has attempted to reboot his faltering premiership, apologising for appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador and urging his MPs to unite behind him. The prime minister gave a lengthy speech on Wednesday about community cohesion, but faced a barrage of questions about his leadership after one of his most turbulent days since entering Downing Street. With his authority over the Labour party and the Commons looking shakier than ever, the prime minister insisted he understood MPs’ concerns and issued a frank apology to victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Starmer said he regretted appointing Mandelson in Washington given his relationship with the financier and convicted child sex offender, about which he said the Labour peer had repeatedly lied. “The victims of Epstein have lived with trauma that most of us could barely comprehend, and they have to relive it again and again.

Bank of England policymakers have left interest rates unchanged at 3.75%, but indicated that lower inflation as a result of cost-of-living measures in Rachel Reeves’s budget should pave the way for cuts in the months ahead. The nine-member monetary policy committee (MPC) voted to leave borrowing costs on hold, despite forecasting weaker growth and lower inflation than at its last quarterly forecast in November. Andrew Bailey, the Bank’s governor, who voted to hold rates, said: “We now think that inflation will fall back to about 2% by the spring. We need to make sure inflation stays there, so we’ve held rates unchanged at 3.75% today. Reeves, the chancellor, announced a package of anti-inflation measures in her late November budget that she hoped would pave the way for more rate cuts.

Airlines and booking firms should give UK customers information about the environmental impact of their flights, the regulator has said. The Civil Aviation Authority urged booking sites to enable passengers to make “more informed travel decisions” by setting out estimates for carbon emissions for flights landing or taking off from British airports. It said the carbon emission data should reflect factors such as aircraft type and fuel use, and take into account the type of seat occupied. It added that this information was already available in sectors such as rail, and a standard framework would help aviation’s ambitions to become net zero for carbon emissions by 2050. The CAA director, Tim Johnson, said: “Airlines providing understandable and comparable emissions data will enable passengers to make more informed travel decisions.

Enjoy a little mellow Foo Fighters’ tune — can’t handle metal rock today or I’ll end up HULK SMASHing things I’m supposed to fix. His self-flagellation and tepid mea culpa are pathetic, like watching a wee gnat flailing on an elephant’s ass. Like in this Venn diagram; if you were a foreign agent, which breached data would you mine most carefully? And as Tesla responded, with one million auto accidents a year, not every accident is reported to the NHTSA. Hearing about EPA scheduled this morning, but I don’t think it had anything to do whatsoever with Flint Water Crisis.

The Democratic former speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, said on Wednesday that press freedom is “under siege” in the United States after the Trump administration arrested a prominent journalist and searched the home of another. “Let’s make no mistake: we are living in a time when the first amendment is under siege here at home,” she said at an annual dinner for reporters covering Congress convened by the Washington Press Club. She did not spare the president in her remarks, nor the conservative justices who hold a majority of the supreme court’s seats. We have a president who has crowned himself King, a Congress which has abolished itself, and a supreme court that has gone rogue,” Pelosi said. “Our first amendment – a free and independent press – the fourth estate – is essential to the survival of our Republic.”
