 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Each year, more than 5,200 workers die from injuries and 135,000 from work-related illnesses. Another 3.2 million suffer non-fatal injuries, likely a severe undercount. The scientific record of the impact of capitalist industrial activity on Earth's warming climate is clear and well established. A report Tuesday by CBS News indicates that statements issued by jail and Justice Department officials after Epstein's death in 2019 are contradicted by a careful review of the full videotape released earlier this month. This report was delivered by Will Lehman to the public hearing in Detroit on Sunday, July 27, on the death of Stellantis worker Ronald Adams Sr. Germany keeps experiencing serious rail accidents with fatal consequences. National rail operator Deutsche Bahn prioritises profits above all else. Experts agree there is hardly any war that violates international law as flagrantly as the US-Israeli attack on Iran. Nevertheless, the German government and leading media have openly supported it. A study released Tuesday shows that Canadian military equipment continues to be delivered to Israel in massive quantities, despite a declaration by the Liberal government that it would suspend new permits in 2024. Buzz Hargrove, a career bureaucrat who steadily rose through the officialdom of the Canadian Auto Workers (CAW), ultimately serving as its president for 16 years, died last month at the age of 81. "What is urgently required is the development of a political movement rooted in the working class—residents, workers, students—fighting for the total ban of the demolition plan." "If they are treating people in public housing like this today, they will do it to other workers tomorrow. It won't matter who you are or where you come from." Yesterday's meeting, which saw two dissenting votes from the hold decision, was preceded by further demands from Trump officials for "dramatically lower" rates. Bove, a criminal credibly accused of flouting court orders to carry out Trump's illegal mass deportation operation, was confirmed in a party-line vote by the Senate Tuesday night. With the announcement of a ceasefire, Trump quickly claimed credit, absurdly declaring on social media, "I am proud to be the President of PEACE!" A Stalinist who denounced Leon Trotsky as an "agent of the Gestapo" was shielded from criticism by SWP speakers. The union leadership is seeking to use the legitimate concerns of workers over the future of Mudgee to limit the dispute to one town and to cut miners off from their colleagues elsewhere, who face the same assault on pay and conditions. The rail unions, whose support is needed for the success of the merger, did not warn their members about it during the long period of discussion and planning between the carriers. Departments set for closure include Chemistry and Film & Television, with deep cuts also looming in Archaeology, Biomedical Sciences, Engineering, Pharmacy and Peace Studies. WSWS reporters spoke to resident doctors on the picket line at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, and Southampton University Hospital about why they are striking against the Starmer Labour government.
