Government still reforming ‘utterly broken' welfare system
The Scottish Secretary has said the UK Government is still working to reform the 'utterly broken' welfare system, following the substantial concessions made in Parliament earlier this week. Ian Murray also said the Cabinet is in a 'resolved' mood following the tearful appearance of Chancellor Rachel Reeves in the House of Commons. Mr Murray, a former publican, visited Belhaven Brewery in East Lothian on Thursday – where he poured a pint which then had his face imprinted on the foam by a machine at the bar. Speaking almost a year on from Labour's general election win, Mr Murray said his party had achieved 'a lot', adding: 'We've had 30 Bills through Parliament, the most that have ever been passed in the history of a new government. 'We've given 200,000 Scots the biggest pay rise, we've been able to set up GB Energy, we've stabilised the economy.' On Tuesday, Sir Keir Starmer's Government was forced into a last-minute climbdown in order for welfare legislation to pass its first parliamentary hurdle. Ministers shelved plans to restrict eligibility for the personal independence payment (Pip), with any changes now only coming after a review of the benefit. These changes are expected to put pressure on other parts of the Government's finances. Mr Murray said 'everybody agrees' the welfare system needs reform and too many people are 'locked out of the workplace because of the way the welfare system works'. He said the Timms review would examine the Pip system and the Government is confident the 'journey' of reform would continue. Pressed on whether substantial parts of the reform had been dropped, he said: 'A thousand people a day are going into personal independence payments, that's 371,000 a year. 'That's completely unsustainable.' He added: 'This whole system is completely and utterly broken and it's unsustainable and that's what we're trying to resolve. 'The one thing that unites everybody in this debate is the fact they know the system is broken and it has to be reformed.' The Scottish Secretary was asked if the Chancellor's Budget choices would affect the devolved Scottish Government budget, with Mr Murray noting the Spending Review had given Edinburgh a further £9.1 billion over two years. He said: 'The Budget will be set in October as it is in any budget. 'Of course, with things fluctuating so quickly, we wouldn't speculate now what would happen then, because things can change so quickly. 'But we've already said there'd be no change to the Scottish Government's budget.' Mr Murray said the mood in Cabinet is 'one of resolve' following Ms Reeves' appearance in the Commons and markets had responded positively to the Prime Minister's show of support in her.

How AI Is Powering Your Amazon Prime Day Shopping Experience
It is that time of the year again. Amazon Prime Day is back, igniting a shopping frenzy like no other. Every July, millions dive headfirst into a whirlwind of deals, discounts, and 'add to cart' clicks. But behind the flashy banners and irresistible prices lies a fascinating story. This isn't just a shopping event but a snapshot of global trade dynamics, cutting-edge technology, and clever customer experience strategies all intertwined. Stretching over 4 days from July 11, this year's Prime Day stakes have never been higher. And today, we are taking a step back and exploring a bigger picture: what happens when Amazon plays Santa in July? How does this mega shopping spree ripple through global supply chains, especially amid geopolitical tensions, climate challenges, and a rapidly evolving world? When you're excitedly filling your cart, you might not realize the tug-of-war going on behind the scenes Since the start of this year, the U.S. and China have been engaged in a tariff ping-pong match, landing a 10% reciprocal tariff on Chinese imports (reduction from 125% to 10% for 90 days). Layer that on top of existing tariffs, and many products now carry a tariff load upwards of 30%. And keep in mind that more than 70% of the products that wholesalers and retailers sell on Amazon are produced in China. Sellers face a tough choice: raise prices or pull products off the shelves entirely. The era of predictable supply chains is over. Companies are increasingly embracing regionalization and dual sourcing strategies to build resilience against geopolitical upheaval, climate disruption, and trade policy volatility. What this means for shoppers is that the seemingly simple act of buying a product is actually part of a highly complex system striving to adapt to unprecedented uncertainty. When the tariff tsunami hit, Amazon wanted to show shoppers exactly how much tariffs add to product prices, aiming for transparency. But political pressure led the company to shelve that plan, so these extra costs remain quietly baked into your final checkout total. The result? That 'amazing deal' might not be as bargain-friendly as it seems, but it's the outcome of a complex dance involving tariffs, shipping snarls, and shifting supplier moves. AI is quietly transforming supply chains into smart, agile operations that predict your needs before you even shop You've probably heard about AI revolutionizing everything, but it's especially crucial behind the scenes during Prime Day. Amazon and other retail giants are doubling down on AI from generative AI to smart agentic systems to keep their supply chains nimble and responsive. Big companies can now analyze vast data, from sales trends and social media buzz to weather forecasts and geopolitical shifts. AI predicts demand fluctuations, allowing inventory to be positioned strategically across fulfillment centers, often before customers even know they want to purchase. Picture this: a brand selling sustainable, socially conscious denim jackets notices a spike in online chatter from Gen Z shoppers. AI quickly ramps up stock in urban hubs ahead of demand surges. If trade tensions threaten cotton supplies, the system pivots to alternative materials and sources. When a cold snap is forecasted, AI reroutes insulated jackets north to prevent shortages. Delivery routes? Also optimized in real-time based on traffic and weather, cutting fuel use and speeding up shipping. This isn't sci-fi. It's the everyday magic of AI balancing supply and demand, slashing disruptions, and ensuring your Prime Day haul arrives faster than you can say 'checkout.' Innovative return policies highlight how customer-centric approaches are reshaping the retail landscape Handling return shipments, processing returned items, and managing inventory flow create operational and logistical burdens. But here's a neat trick Amazon pulled last year: if you bought something before Prime Day and the price dropped during the event, they'd refund you the difference. Beyond being a shopper-friendly gesture, this reflects a deeper shift toward customer-centric innovation that's reshaping how we buy. Also, it is a smart way to eliminate buyer's remorse and streamline reverse logistics. Prime Day isn't just about selling. It's a colossal, synchronized operation spanning factories, cargo ships, warehouses, and delivery drivers worldwide. Pulling off millions of shipments in record time requires military-grade coordination. And today's world? Uncertainty is the new normal. Gone are the days of smooth, predictable supply chains. It's anything but predictable. For shoppers, that means the 'Prime Day deals' we see are shaped by a complex ecosystem striving for resilience and agility in a turbulent world. So next week ordering on Amazon, just remember how technology and global trade dynamics continue to shape what lands in your Amazon cart and how fast it gets there.

INTV DIGI: Stew Leonard Jr.
00:00 How are you guys preparing for the 4th of July holiday? Well, first of all, the whole family's on deck right now. Okay. This is a busy, busy weekend. It sort of comes down a little bit the rest of July and August. A lot of people go on vacation. Well, you know, it's it's busy. Busy. And we know that the consumers, the customers in here will have 100,000 of them this week in all our stores. They feel pretty good. They're buying, you know, And so we we feel people feel good about going into this holiday right now. Do you worry about the rest of the year? Do you see the numbers, for example, for the broader economy on a day like today, jobs are doing really well. A lot of that is government employment as well. At what point does it change and how do you worry about that from your seat? Well, I think and you're seeing this in the overall stock markets and everything, there's a lot of uncertainty out there. I'm talking to other retailers. I'm talking to our suppliers, and nobody's really sure what's going to happen. I mean, there's a potential on July 9th of 30% they're going back for for Europe. So what's that going to do to all our wine and champagne and scotch and beers that we get from from Europe, olive oil cheeses, you know, what does that mean? So we don't know right now. There's a lot of uncertainty. Right now, it it's sort of just like my finger. And I took a test here in the store. I would say people feel pretty good about the economy right now. What do you see about the choices they're making still? My wife is from Spain. She will never buy olive oil from anywhere else. I, on the other hand, have made the switch from German beer to the cannabis infused beverages that you have there. It's do Leonards. What what kind of choices are people making? Well, you know, what you mentioned is a good one. Those those infused sparkling waters would see right now rocking and rolling really, really hot right now. You know, what else is really trending is also non-alcoholic beer that's been up right now. Now, you know what we say to our customers now there's really six ways to save money or to prepare for this holiday. The first most important thing for everybody that you should remember this know, you said you're coming to the store later. Check your propane tank. Okay. The worst thing is you got your burgers or something ready to go and there's no propane. Second thing, we got a lot of specials going on this week. Mac, you mentioned eggs, Good Burger from Pasteurized, which, by the way, I think are much easier than conventional. But these are only 299. So. So look for specials that are out there right now. The other thing we learned from cold weather, you can freeze stuff. Take advantage of the sales and then freeze it. But do it yourself. You know, we have these you can get this all cut up. We have people that have to do that. Same with guacamole. Cut the watermelon yourself. You'll save the money. And the last step there is to walk away from our camels that we have because we're trying to entice you to taste the product and buy it. It's one extra item in your car. It's going to cost you a little bit more. But those are some tips for saving money. Don't freak out over the prices. They're about the same as last year, as you mentioned earlier. That's only ten bucks a head, basically on average for each person. It's a lot less than a restaurant. It's a good point to do it yourself when you come to things like the watermelon or the guacamole. And maybe part of the problem is, you know, the avocados, it's do Leonards have to sing? So it's not just they don't just have to taste good. They have to be on. You got to say I'm totally guilty for sending my significant other out to get another propane tank every holiday. Still, I want to ask you about something else that's happening here in New York City. As somebody who owns a major grocery store chain, you have a mayoral candidate here, Zoran Mamdani, considering a plan to establish publicly owned grocery stores. Of course, this plan is a pilot plan. And of course, he has to win the election in order for any of this to take place. But what do you think of that plan? Well, first of all, this is a business, a very thin margin. Okay. Our family's been in this for 50 years of retailing. Well, but it's not easy running the supermarket. Look at you. Got to run it all weekend right now. We don't get the weekend off like like you would. So I think for the government to think they can run a grocery store, it's about customer service. It's about keeping everything really fresh on the shelf every day. You've got to keep your prices sharp. I mean, you're you're in a competitive mode. We got here. We got to dodge every single day. It's not easy. You know, I was just saying, I know the Wegmans. You know, they have a store in Manhattan. They know the customers. I know Abbey Morgan Williams, which has a number of stores there. They're struggling in New York, even with the issue. And and a lot of others think it's tough to run supermarkets in New York City. I don't know how the government could do it.
