HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — CenterPoint Energy CEO Jason Wells highlighted his employees’ safety after a man opened fire at a line worker in southwest Houston on Saturday. “We had to evacuate over 100 line workers this morning that were working restoration due to shots that were fired at our crews,” Wells said in a video response posted on YouTube to the crime amid the power restoration efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl’s landfall. Houston police said officers responded to a call at about 8:40 a.m. in which a man pointed a gun at a utility worker in the 1900 block…
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Relatives of an 89-year-old northeast Houston woman say she passed out from heat exhaustion days after losing electricity. “My momma got so overheated, her body shut down and she has not waken up yet,” Monica Shaw said. That was on Wednesday. Shaw said she called in a nurse and bought two generators to get the air conditioning running, but that hasn’t been enough to revive her mother. She has dementia and congenital heart failure, which Shaw said puts her at even higher risk than most. “Touch her body, she’s hot. Checked her temperature, it was 101,” Shaw…

England wrapped up a comfortable win by an innings and 114 runs over West Indies in the first test at Lord’s on Friday, with James Anderson taking a wicket on the third day as he brought down the curtain on his stellar international career. Anderson looked uncharacteristically emotional before the start of play as he walked out to a guard of honour and a standing ovation from the crowd in his 188th and final test. But the 41-year-old seamer quickly got to work and had Joshua Da Silva (9) caught behind in his second over of the day,…
LONDON: Novak Djokovic swept past Lorenzo Musetti on Friday to book a second successive Wimbledon final against defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and move one win away from a record-setting 25th Grand Slam title. Just five weeks after undergoing knee surgery, seven-time Wimbledon champion Djokovic reached his 10th final at the All England Club with a 6-4, 7-6 (7/2), 6-4 win over the Italian 25th seed.

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has gone with yet another unusual approach in setting up the national men’s selection committee following the recent sacking of Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq as selectors. Former Pakistan internationals Wahab and Razzaq were part of a seven-member selection committee — which featured other ex-players in Asad Shafiq and Mohammad Yousuf along with data analyst Bilal Afzal and the national team’s head coaches and captain. But after further alterations following Pakistan’s disastrous show in last month’s T20 World Cup, which led to the removal of Wahab and Razzaq, the selection committee now has four voting members and five…
ISLAMABAD: Continuing with the rising trend, the major petroleum products — petrol and high-speed diesel (HSD) — are estimated to increase by more than Rs7.60 and Rs3.50 per litre, respectively, with effect from July 16 for the next fortnight, mainly because of higher global oil prices. Sources said the prices of petrol and HSD had increased in the international market by about $4.4 and $2 per barrel, respectively, in the last fortnight. Depending on final calculation and existing tax rates, the price of petrol is projected to rise by Rs7.60 per litre and that of HSD by Rs3.50. The government has…
ISLAMABAD: Facing criticism over unaffordable electricity, governance and operational and decision-making issues in the power sector, Power Minister Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari on Friday attempted to shift some of the blame onto the rest of the government machinery. In a testimony before the Senate Standing Committee on Power, Mr Leghari said the FBR’s tax machinery had failed to do its job and the entire burden had been shifted to the power sector, which had been turned into a tax collection agent. He told the meeting, presided over by PTI Senator Mohsin Aziz, that consumers were paying about Rs8 per unit tax…
