The first day of a planned strike at Britain’s biggest container port has started. Almost 2,000 workers at the Port of Felixstowe walked off the job on Sunday over pay. The action raised fears of severe supply chain problems amid a series of summer walkouts by transportation workers that have disrupted economic activity across the country. The port  located about 150 kilometers (93 miles) northeast of London handles around 4 million containers a year from 2,000 ships. That's almost half of the country’s incoming shipping freight. The port says workers were offered a pay raise “worth over 8% on average in the current year.”

Russian authorities say the daughter of a nationalist ideologist who is often referred to as “Putin’s brain” died in a car explosion on the outskirts of Moscow. The Investigative Committee branch for the Moscow region said the Saturday night blast was caused by a bomb planted in the SUV driven by Daria Dugina.

Factories in Sichuan province were shut down to conserve power for homes as air-conditioning demand soared in temperatures as high as 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit).
