BBRG CEO Tamer Afr said upon opening the new location, Dolly's patrons will notice 'familiar flavors.'

Telegram founder Pavel Durov to split $17B fortune among 6 kids — and 100 sperm-donor babies
Telegram founder Pavel Durov said he wants to leave his nearly $20 billion fortune to 100 children he's fathered through sperm donations. The eccentric tech founder has a history of tangling with the Kremlin over free speech and was charged by French officials last year for allegedly allowing sex abuse and drug trafficking crimes to run rampant on his encrypted messaging app. He has denied those charges. The billionaire has written a will that splits his $17.1 billion fortune, according to Forbes, among his six children with three partners, as well as 100 kids across 12 countries he fathered through sperm donations stretching back 15 years, Durov told France's Le Point magazine on Thursday. 3 Pavel Durov and Irina Bolgar with their children. @missbolgar/Instagram 'I want to specify that I make no difference between my children: there are those who were conceived naturally and those who come from my sperm donations,' he told Le Point. 'They are all my children and will all have the same rights! I don't want them to tear each other apart after my death.' Durov, 40, said he does not want his children to have access to his fortune for 30 years. 'I want them to live like normal people, to build themselves up alone, to learn to trust themselves, to be able to create, not to be dependent on a bank account,' he told the magazine. Durov faces accusations from the mother of three of his children that he withheld financial support, led a secret double life and struck their then-three-year-old son so hard it sent him 'across the room,' according to two criminal complaints filed in 2023 and 2024. He has a somewhat bizarre social media presence, posting a photo of himself shirtless in a barn with baby goats earlier this year to wish Telegram users a happy Easter. Years earlier, in a 2017 Instagram post that went viral, he mocked Russian President Vladimir Putin for practically the same thing – calling on users to post photos of themselves bare-chested in the 'Putin Shirtless Challenge.' 3 Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted a photo of himself shirtless to wish users a happy Easter. @durov/Instagram Durov had been the target of Russian state blacklisting after he refused to shut down activists on VKontakte, a platform he created known as the Russian version of Facebook, including a group led by the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny. Durov reportedly fled the country after he was involved in a traffic accident that left a police officer slightly injured. Around the same time, a private equity firm linked to the Kremlin bought a hefty stake in VK and pushed out the founding partners who backed Durov, according to The Moscow Times. In March, Durov said he had returned to his home in Dubai after Paris officials had arrested him over the summer and banned him from leaving the country. His encrypted messaging app Telegram, which boasts more than 1 billion active users, has become an indispensable communication tool during the Russia-Ukraine war. 3 Pavel Durov founded the encrypted messaging app Telegram. REUTERS Government officials have used the app to send out air raid warnings and citizens have documented war horrors firsthand. But the app has come under fire for also allowing extremist groups like the Islamic State, white nationalists and conspiracy theorists to use the platform.

Bank of England expected to hold interest rates as inflation comes in above target
The Bank of England (BoE) is widely expected to keep interest rates on hold at 4.25% this Thursday, as policymakers weigh rising geopolitical risks, persistent inflation, and conflicting domestic economic data. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will announce its decision on Thursday, and markets are betting that it will maintain its 'gradual and careful' approach to easing policy. Since August 2024, the BoE has reduced rates four times amid stubborn inflation and resilient wage growth. However, divisions have emerged within the committee. May's meeting revealed a more fractured consensus, dampening expectations of a faster pace of rate cuts. A subsequent batch of weaker domestic data has since revived speculation that the MPC may slow down its pace of lowering borrowing costs. 'This month's Bank of England policy meeting should be as straightforward a decision [to leave rates unchanged] as they come,' said George Buckley, economist at Nomura. 'We continue to look for 3.5% terminal rates by February next year — i.e., three 25bp cuts at Monetary Policy Report meetings. We think that the settling point would be at the upper end of the neutral range. This is a modestly quicker cutting cycle than the market sees.' Read more: Are UK investment assets becoming more attractive? Have your say The central bank faces a complex global and domestic backdrop. Rising oil prices (BZ=F) following Israeli airstrikes on Iran have reignited fears of broader conflict in the Middle East, compounding volatility already driven by US president Donald Trump's shifting trade policy. Meanwhile, sterling (GBPUSD=X), has strengthened sharply against the dollar, further complicating the inflation outlook. Domestically, the picture remains uncertain. The UK economy contracted by 0.3% in April, reversing earlier growth. Wage growth slowed markedly in the three months to April, and the unemployment rate ticked higher, raising questions about the underlying strength of the labour market. Inflation, however, remains a central concern. Consumer price inflation slowed down to 3.4% in May but remains well above the BoE's 2% target. NIESR associate economist Monica George Michail said: 'We forecast inflation to remain above 3% for the remainder of the year amidst persistent wage growth and the inflationary effects from higher government spending. 'Additionally, the current tensions in the Middle East are causing greater economic uncertainty. 'We therefore expect the Bank of England to keep rates on hold this Thursday and implement just one further cut this year.' Suren Thiru, economics director at ICAEW, said: 'May's dismally modest drop is unlikely to quell concerns over inflation, as it owed more to the unwinding of distortions caused by Easter falling in April this year, particularly on services prices, than a telling reduction in cost pressures.' He added: 'An interest rate cut on Thursday looks implausible as rate setters will probably want to hold off until August to get a better understanding of the impact of this global uncertainty before taking the plunge once again.' Sarah Coles, a personal finance columnist at Yahoo Finance UK and head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: 'If inflation figures don't hold any surprises, interest rates are held, and expectations stick for two more cuts this year, we could well see rates fall again.' Paul Dales, chief UK Economist at Capital Economics, said that April's GDP contraction 'won't prompt the Bank of England to cut interest rates next Thursday. But it is one more piece of news pointing to another cut in August'. Sanjay Raja, chief UK economist at Deutsche Bank, shared a similar view: 'We expect the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to keep Bank Rate unchanged at 4.25% on 19 June. But increased concerns around the labour market are likely, in our view. Global risks in May are likely to give way to domestic risks in June. And we expect the MPC to open the door to an August rate cut. Read more: UK inflation slows to 3.4% in May as transport costs ease 'We stick to our call for three quarter-point rate cuts this year (Aug, Nov, Dec) and one final rate cut in February, taking the Bank Rate to 3.25%.' Others are also anticipating a summer move. Enrique Diaz-Alvarez, chief economist at Ebury, said: 'Against this backdrop, the Bank of England is expected to hold rates steady this week, but absent a strong inflation report, the MPC may well signal that the next cut could come in the summer. "This may come in the form of a tweak to the bank's hawkish bias or the voting pattern, with the possibility that two or three officials vote for an immediate cut on Thursday. ING analysts also flagged August as the likely next move. 'Barring big surprises in the data over the next month, we think the latest disappointing jobs numbers help cement an August rate cut," they wrote. "Bear in mind that at 4.25%, the bank rate is still very much in restrictive territory, which offers the Bank plenty of scope to keep lowering it. We expect a further cut in November and two more moves in 2026, taking the terminal rate to 3.25%.' However, not all market participants are convinced Threadneedle Street will act soon. Read more: UK economy shrinks by 0.3% in April 'While the broader trajectory for rates remains downward, the path ahead now looks shallower than previously anticipated,' said Steve Matthews, investment director for liquidity at Canada Life Asset Management. 'Market pricing suggests the next move is unlikely before September, and possibly later. Added to this, uncertainty around US tariffs and trade policy is creating a more cautious global backdrop — no one wants to make a move prematurely.' Across the Atlantic, all eyes will be on the US Federal Reserve, which is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged at its meeting on Wednesday. Investors will be closely watching updated economic projections, seeking clues as to how heavily policymakers are factoring in recent signs of economic softness and the degree of concern around ongoing trade uncertainty, unresolved fiscal negotiations, and the growing risk of conflict in the Middle East. The Bank of England is set to announce its latest interest rate decision at midday on Thursday 19 June.

UK inflation eases slightly to 3.4% as food price rises offset transport cost falls
Inflation in the UK eased slightly to 3.4% last month as a steep fall in air fares and petrol prices was offset by a jump in the cost of food. May's decline in the consumer prices index (CPI), down from the official figure of 3.5% for April, complicates the Bank of England's interest rates decision on Thursday, although policymakers are still almost certain to hold interest rates at 4.25%. Annual food inflation jumped to 4.4% in May from 3.4% in April, spurred by increases in the cost of sugar, jam and chocolate, which rose at the fastest pace since records began in 2016. Poor harvests affecting major cocoa-producers in Ghana and Ivory Coast sent chocolate prices soaring 17.7%. Ruth Gregory, the deputy chief UK economist at Capital Economics, said rising food prices would be a concern to the Bank, especially when some staples such as meat were also pushed higher. 'The third consecutive rise in food price inflation to 4.4%, its highest since February 2024, will be a bit of a blow for the Bank as it perhaps provides a tentative sign that firms are passing on more of April's rise in national insurance contributions in their selling prices.' As well as food getting more expensive, furniture and household items also went up, increasing the rate of inflation for goods in shops from 1.7% in April to 2% last month, despite the cost of clothing and footwear declining by 0.3% over the past year. Interactive The Office for National Statistics said its measure of core inflation, which excludes volatile items such as energy, food and alcohol, rose by 3.5% in the last year, down from 3.8%. City economists had correctly predicted last month's fall in CPI to 3.4%, which was largely owing to falls in the price of petrol and diesel, which brought down transport costs. The Bank's target for the measure is 2% and May's reading is likely to leave policymakers circumspect about accelerating the pace of interest rate cuts. The ONS said earlier this month that it had overestimated its CPI reading for April by about 0.1 percentage points because of an error that meant the effect of higher car tax bills was exaggerated. It left the original reading in place as the official figure for that month, but said it would use the correctly weighted data in future calculations. Air fares tumbled in May from an increase of 16.2% in April to -3.9% in May, although this was largely because Easter – when airlines traditionally raise fares – fell a month later this year, in April rather than March. Services inflation, which has remained high over recent years, began to slow more rapidly, down from 5.4% to 4.7%. The Bank has resisted making steep cuts to interest rates while services inflation has remained sticky. Pressure has increased on the central bank to cut the cost of borrowing, after recent data showed the economy has slowed. Wages growth fell and unemployment increased in the February-to-April quarter, while the economy shrank in April. Monica George Michail, an associate economist at the National Institute of Economic and Social Research, said inflation was likely to remain above 3% for the rest of the year amid persistent wage growth and the inflationary effects from higher government spending. 'Additionally, the current tensions in the Middle East are causing greater economic uncertainty. We therefore expect the Bank of England to keep rates on hold this Thursday and implement just one further cut this year,' she said. The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, said there was 'more to do' to bring down inflation and support households hit by the high cost of living. She is keen for the Bank to accelerate the pace of interest rate cuts to ease monthly mortgage costs and reduce the cost of borrowing for businesses. Financial markets still expect two rate cuts to 3.75% by the end of this year and several more next year as inflation is expected to drift back to 2%, although the Bank has been reticent to indicate where interest rates may settle. Reeves said: 'We took the necessary choices to stabilise the public finances and get inflation under control after the double-digit increases we saw under the previous government, but we know there's more to do. 'Last week we extended the £3 bus fare cap, funded free school meals for over half a million more children and are delivering our plans for free breakfast clubs for every child in the country.' The shadow chancellor, Mel Stride, blamed Labour for inflation remaining above the Bank's target. 'Labour's choices to tax jobs and ramp up borrowing are killing growth and stoking inflation, making everyday essentials more expensive,' he said.
