UPDATE: Disturbance at London pride event leads to arrest
July 16, 2022 7:30pm
A man has been arrested and faces several criminal charges following an incident at the inaugural Wortley Pride Event.
The London Police Service (LPS) responded to an emergency call in South London at approximately 2:16 p.m. on Saturday.
Police said that a large altercation had taken place in the area of Wortley Road and Duchess Avenue during the pride celebration.
Members of the crowd reported on social media, that a man parked his truck in the street to prevent access to the event and shouted anti-LGBTQ slurs.
Kathy Bell, the Wortley Pride Chair, said that she wasn’t a part of the initial confrontation, but was given reports of what happened from other festival-goers.
“I do know that an individual in a white truck, with Canadian Flags blowing in the bed of the truck, laid continuously on their horn as they drove up Duchess and down Wortley. I thought that would be the end of it, but they circled back around and then I saw them stop on Wortley,” Bell said. When the actual altercation began the police were contacted immediately.
She added that the event continued despite the interruption. “This incident demonstrates why we need to continue to raise awareness and educate the community. Love is Love!”
A walking parade and drag show followed the disturbance.
Bell said that the community want to see Wortley Pride return next year and, as of right now, that is the plan.
The investigation is ongoing and police ask that anyone with information call the LPS at (519) 661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Hog Market Update
Forward hog contract prices have been stable as of late.
Tyler Fulton is director of risk management with Hams Marketing Services.
“We’ve seen a fair amount of volatility day to day, but they haven’t been trending one direction or the other,” he said. “Whatever they seem to lose one day, they’ll regain the next day and it’s coming not just from a volatile pork complex but also the Canadian dollar is highly volatile as well and that has a direct influence on what forward prices are.”
Fulton says we’ve seen a lot of activity from producers hedging October all the way through the winter and it’s motivated by the fact that they’re exceptionally good forward prices as compared to normal cash market trends over that timeframe. He adds it’s also important to note that we’re looking at exceptionally high feed prices, noting margins aren’t great, but they’re still positive and have some room for a little bit of profitability.
“It’s a big threat to the operation if you’re only looking at one side or the other in terms of feed versus the price of your output, which is hogs,” added Fulton.
Fulton says that the U.S. cash markets are seeing a lot of influence recently from stronger pork prices. In the last four weeks or so, we’ve seen a rising trend in pork prices with a little bit of variability across different cuts. He says this is a more typical trend that you would see at this time of year.
“Typically we’ve got hog numbers that are starting to moderate and we also start to see some stronger demand from grilling and so seeing some support in cash pork prices is pretty typical. Given that we have so much influence when producers actually get paid for their hogs, most contracts are referencing wholesale pork prices now. When you see those firmer wholesale pork prices happen it does move into the price for the hogs reflecting that right away.”
Earlier this spring we saw a counter-seasonal move of weakness. That seems to be behind us now and with a little bit tighter hog numbers and some good demand, Fulton is generally optimistic that the remainder of June and July should be okay.
SB56 UN Climate Change Conference Side event: Update on COP26 Health and Climate Programme
In November 2021, World Health Organization (WHO), together with the UK Government and other partners, established the COP26 Health Programme – a flagship initiative to bring a stronger health focus and ambition to the UN climate negotiations.
As part of the COP26 Health Programme, over 50 countries have already committed to build climate resilient and low carbon health systems. Countries agreed to take concrete steps towards creating health systems that are resilient to growing climate impacts, while many countries also committed to transform their health systems to be more environmentally sustainable and low carbon. Fourteen countries have also set a target date to reach net zero carbon emissions in their health system before 2050.
These country commitments will at the same time promote health, address climate change and guide countries towards a healthy and green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. WHO and its partners will be supporting these countries in achieving their commitments in the months and years ahead.

For nearly 15 years now, insidethegames.biz has been at the forefront of reporting fearlessly on what happens in the Olympic Movement. As the first website not to be placed behind a paywall, we have made news about the International Olympic Committee, the Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and other major events more accessible than ever to everybody.
insidethegames.biz has established a global reputation for the excellence of its reporting and breadth of its coverage. For many of our readers from more than 200 countries and territories around the world the website is a vital part of their daily lives. The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.
Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since.
As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism. Your vital support would mean we can continue to report so comprehensively on the Olympic Movement and the events that shape it. It would mean we can keep our website open for everyone. Last year, nearly 25 million people read insidethegames.biz, making us by far the biggest source of independent news on what is happening in world sport.
Every contribution, however big or small, will help maintain and improve our worldwide coverage in the year ahead. Our small and dedicated team were extremely busy last year covering the re-arranged Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo, an unprecedented logistical challenge that stretched our tight resources to the limit.
The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Unlike many others, insidethegames.biz is available for everyone to read, regardless of what they can afford to pay. We do this because we believe that sport belongs to everybody, and everybody should be able to read information regardless of their financial situation. While others try to benefit financially from information, we are committed to sharing it with as many people as possible. The greater the number of people that can keep up to date with global events, and understand their impact, the more sport will be forced to be transparent.
