AMMUNITION SHELVES BARE AS U.S GUN SALES CONTINUE TO SOAR  The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with record sales of firearms, has fueled a shortage of ammunition in the United States that’s impacting law enforcement agencies, people seeking personal protection, recreational shooters and hunters -- and could deny new gun owners the practice they need to handle their weapons safely Manufacturers say they’re producing as much ammunition as they can, but many gun store shelves are empty and prices keep rising.

BIDEN'S QUICK-TRIGGER COVID PROBLEM  The Biden administ ration's handling of the Delta surge has left Americans confused and frustrated, fueling media overreaction and political manipulation. Why it matters:  The past year and a half have left Americans cynical about the government's COVID response, and — in many cases — misinformed or uninformed. We're getting fog and reversals when steady, clear-eyed, factual information is needed more than ever. The past five days were a mess On Tuesday, the CDC updated its guidanc e to say vaccinated people in hot spots should wear masks in indoor, public settings — without an easy, definitive way to know if you're in a hot spot . This was a reversal from the CDC's announcement on May 13 — 75 days earlier — that fully vaccinated people could shed masks in most indoor settings, which President Biden called "a great day for America in our long battle with the coronavirus." On Thursday, the Washington Post...

TURKISH WILDFIRE LEAVES CHARRED HOME AND ASHES,  AS BLAZES CONTINUE  Days after a raging wildfire in southern Turkey drove his family from the home they lived in for four decades, Mehmet Demir returned on Saturday to discover a burnt-out building, charred belongings and ashes. Bedsprings, a ladder, metal chairs and some kitchenware were the only things left identifiable after some of the worst fires in years tore through the region, with several still burning four days after they erupted on Wednesday. Demir’s home, near the coastal Mediterranean town of Manavgat, not far from the popular tourist resort Antalya, was hit by one of almost 100 fires which officials say erupted this week across southern and western Turkey , where sweltering heat and strong winds fanned the flames. “The blaze spread through the highlands and raged suddenly,” Demir told Reuters as he looked around the wreckage of his home, built in 1982. “We had to flee to the centre of Manavgat.
