WORLD IN BRIEF
number of sneaker styles it offers by a quarter.
The company announced several changes to its business struc-
ture today, saying the moves will help it offer more products to
customers faster.
Nike, which is based in Beaverton says the jobs cuts
represent about 2 percent of its 70,000 employees around the
world.
It also says a main focus will be the 12 key cities in 10 coun-
tries that it expects to represent more than 80 percent of its pro-
jected growth through 2020.
Shares of Nike Inc. fell more than 2 percent to $53.35
today.

London inferno extinguished;
firefighters search for victims
LONDON — London firefighters traumatized by the devas-
tation they witnessed in a high-rise apartment blaze that killed at
least 12 people worked today to make the building safe so they
could continue the search for more victims.
Entire families are missing, and the death toll is certain to rise
after flames tore through the 120-unit Grenfell Tower in the early
hours of Wednesday when most people were asleep. Fire Com-
missioner Dany Cotton said it would be a miracle if anyone were
to be found alive.
It is unsafe for firefighters to go to all parts of the 24-story
tower, so the fire department is working with structural engi-
neers to shore up the building so they can complete a “finger-tip
search” of the entire structure, Cotton said.
“I spoke to one of my officers who was very near when some-
one came out the window, and he was in tears and he is a profes-
sional fire officer,” Cotton told Sky News. “We like to think of
ourselves as ‘roughty, toughty’ and heroes — they are heroes —
but they have feelings, and people were absolutely devastated by
yesterday’s events.”
More than 200 firefighters worked through the night
and parts of the building were still seen as being unsafe.
Now that the smoke has cleared, the public could only gape
at the huge burned-out hulk in the working class, multi-ethnic
neighborhood.
Congress seeks normalcy, heads
back to work after shooting
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The business of the House was
resuming a day after a rifle-wielding attacker opened fire on
Republican lawmakers practicing for a charity baseball game,
critically wounding House GOP Whip Steve Scalise of Louisi-
ana and hitting aides and Capitol police. The assailant, who had
nursed grievances against President Donald Trump and the GOP,
fought a gun battle with police before he, too, was shot and later
died.
Colleagues said Scalise, who had been fielding balls at sec-
ond base, dragged himself away from the infield, leaving a trail of
blood before they rushed to his assistance. He was listed in crit-
ical condition Wednesday night at a Washington hospital, which
said he will require several more operations.
The shooter was identified as James T. Hodgkinson, a 66-year-
old home inspector from Illinois who had several minor run-ins
with the law in recent years and belonged to a Facebook group
called “Terminate the Republican Party.”
Capitol Police officers who were in Scalise’s security
detail wounded the shooter, who was taken into custody. He
later died of his injuries, Trump told the nation from the White
House.
“Everyone on that field is a public servant,” Trump said, his
tone somber, America’s acrimonious politics set aside for the
moment. “Their sacrifice makes democracy possible.”

Fire service personnel are inside Grenfell Tower today in
west London after a fire engulfed the 24-storey building
Wednesday morning. A London fire commissioner says it
will take weeks for the building to be searched and cleared.
AP-NORC poll: Most in US think
Trump meddled in Russia probe
WASHINGTON — A clear majority of Americans believe
President Donald Trump has tried to interfere with the investiga-
tion into Russia’s alleged election meddling and possible Trump
campaign collusion, a new poll shows. Just one in five support
his decision to oust James Comey from the FBI.
Following Comey’s blockbuster appearance before Congress,
an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research
poll shows 68 percent of Americans are at least moderately con-
cerned about the possibility that Trump or his campaign associ-
ates had inappropriate ties to Russia. Almost half of Americans
saying they’re very concerned. Only 3 in 10 say they’re not that
concerned.
Americans largely view the issue along partisan lines. Six-
ty-two percent of Republicans say they’re not very concerned or
not at all concerned about any Russia ties. Though just over half
of Americans say they disapprove of Trump’s firing of Comey,
the number grows to 79 percent among Democrats. Overall, only
22 percent of Americans support Comey’s dismissal.
For Sandra Younger, a 50-year-old from San Diego, Com-
ey’s exit reinforced her suspicion “something fishy” was going
on with the president and Russia. She said it was inappropri-
ate to fire Comey given that he was overseeing the Russia
investigation.
“If I had nothing to hide and someone wanted to investigate,
I would say, ‘Go ahead, do your thing, I don’t care, because you
won’t find anything,’” said Younger, a Democrat who imports
jewelry supplies. She added of Trump: “He seems to be bud-
dy-buddy with these epic creeps.”
Nike to slash 1,400 jobs, cut
sneaker styles in shakeup
NEW YORK — Nike wants to be more nimble on its feet and
sell more shoes directly to customers online as part of a restruc-
turing in which it plans to cut about 1,400 jobs and reduce the
Boeing to move hundreds of
Seattle area jobs to Arizona
SEATTLE — Boeing plans to shift another work group away
from the Puget Sound region.
The Seattle Times reports the company confirmed Wednes-
day the work shifting to Mesa, Arizona, could involve hundreds
of jobs.
The changes will affect Boeing’s Shared Services Group,
which employs about 3,000 people and provides support services
to Boeing’s corporate and production units.
The unit’s leadership has initiated a review and has started to
tell specific groups that their jobs could be moving.
The move is part of Boeing’s drive to cut costs,
which is largely responsible for the loss of more than 18,300 Boe-
ing jobs in the state since the most recent employment peak in
fall 2012.
Boeing aims to complete the reorganization by 2020.
Group president Beverly Wyse says it’s too early to know how
many jobs will be moved.
Reports say Mueller probe now
examining possible obstruction
WASHINGTON — The special counsel appointed to investi-
gate Russian influence in the 2016 presidential campaign is now
examining whether President Donald Trump tried to obstruct jus-
tice, it has been reported.
Accusations of obstruction arose last month when Trump fired
FBI Director James Comey. Comey testified in a Senate hearing
last week that he believed he was fired “because of the Russia
investigation.”
Comey also testified he had told Trump he was not under
investigation.
The Washington Post reported late Wednesday that Mueller
was seeking interviews with three Trump administration offi-
cials who weren’t involved in Trump’s campaign: Dan Coats, the
director of national intelligence; Michael Rogers, the head of the
National Security Agency; and Richard Ledgett, the former NSA
deputy director.
Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Trump’s personal lawyer,
responded Wednesday evening to the Post report by saying: “The
FBI leak of information regarding the president is outrageous,
inexcusable and illegal.”
Going on a summer vacation? Lots
of Americans say they can’t afford it
By BETH J. HARPAZ
and EMILY SWANSON
Associated Press
Forget frequent flier miles,
last-minute getaways and even
road trips. Nearly half of Amer-
icans say they won’t be taking
a vacation this summer, mostly
because they can’t afford it,
according to a new poll by The
Associated Press-NORC Cen-
ter for Public Affairs Research.
The survey, conducted in
May, said 43 percent of Amer-
icans won’t be taking a sum-
mer vacation. The top reason
for skipping a trip was the cost,
cited by 49 percent of non-va-
cationers. Another 11 percent
said they can’t take the time off
from work, while 3 percent said
they don’t like to be away from
work.
About half of Americans
living in households making
less than $50,000 a year don’t
plan to take any summer vaca-
tion this year, and they’re espe-
cially likely to cite costs as a
reason.
And if your employer gives
you paid vacation days, con-
sider yourself lucky: Forty-one
percent of those surveyed who
work full or part time said they
do not get any paid time off
from their employers to use
for vacation. Younger and low-
er-income workers are espe-
cially likely not to get any paid
time off.
Danny Aguilar of Lake-
wood, Colorado, says the cost
is what stops him from plan-
ning a vacation. He works in
information technology, but
because he’s self-employed,
“the income is very unknown.
You don’t know what’s going
to happen. You never really
know what’s coming. You can’t
really budget.”
Other findings from the poll:
• Most Americans use at
least some of their paid time
off if they have the option, but
many still leave paid vacation
days on the table. Fourteen per-
cent of workers who get paid
vacation time from their jobs
did not use any of the days
they had coming to them. Just
half of those with paid vacation
time used up all or most of the
days they were entitled to in the
past year.
• Not everybody wants to
go away in the summer. Fifteen
percent of those who are pass-
ing on a summer getaway say
it’s because they already took
a vacation this year or because
they’ll travel some other time
of year.
