Airport satisfaction in North America has risen significantly this year despite a near-record number of people flying in the United States, according to the latest J.D. Power study. Travellers gave higher ratings to airports, with newer terminals and gates contributing to the improvement. The annual survey found that satisfaction has increased for the third consecutive year. “Overall, travelers are happier with what they are seeing in most airports,” said Mike Taylor, managing director of travel, hospitality and retail at J.D. Power. The study was based on responses from more than 24,000 travellers. Airports including New York’s John F. Kennedy, Kansas…

Arsenal have reportedly maintained contact with Rodrygo Goes’ representatives after missing out on his Real Madrid team-mate Vinicius Junior this summer. The Gunners have previously considered a move for the Brazil international, but their interest was put on hold while he recovered from a serious injury. Rodrygo is now understood to be edging closer to a return, with Arsenal said to have remained in touch with those around him. The 25-year-old is viewed as a potential alternative to Vinicius on the left side of Arsenal’s attack. However, any move would raise questions over whether Rodrygo is ready to make an…

Atlantic tropical development is expected to remain limited in the coming days, with a lone disturbance given only a 30% chance of becoming a tropical system as strong El Niño conditions, hostile wind shear and Saharan dust suppress storm formation. The disturbance is in the central subtropical Atlantic, about 600 miles east of Bermuda, where it is producing disorganised showers and thunderstorms. The US National Hurricane Center said conditions could become slightly more favourable in the next couple of days as the system moves slowly west to north-west. ([nhc.noaa.gov](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/mobile/text/refresh/MIATWOAT%2Bhtml/260510_MIATWOAT.html?utm_source=openai)) Its chance of developing within 48 hours is 10%, rising to…

Perth motorists could see petrol prices climb towards $3 a litre as hard-up consumers brace for another interest rate hike later this month. The prospect of higher fuel costs would add further pressure to household budgets at the same time as borrowers face the possibility of increased interest payments.

UK inflation has risen to 3.1 per cent, increasing pressure on households and the Government as higher oil and gas prices threaten to drive costs up further in the months ahead. The Consumer Prices Index measure climbed from 2.9 per cent in July to 3.1 per cent in the year to August, in line with economists’ expectations. However, analysts warned that the increase could mark the beginning of a sharper rise linked to turmoil in the Middle East. Brent crude was trading at $108 a barrel, while diesel prices had reached a four-year high. Energy bills could rise by a…

The Trump administration has imposed visa restrictions on selected South Africans, warning that further punitive measures could follow unless the country’s leaders address concerns over alleged discrimination against white people. The restrictions bar the affected individuals from entering the United States. Their identities cannot be disclosed publicly under US law. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the measures would apply to South Africans involved in race-based discrimination, those responsible for a law allowing land to be seized without compensation, and people who incite violence against racial minorities. The policy extends the administration’s efforts to pressure South Africa after Donald Trump…

Kevin Warsh’s remarks may have a greater bearing on markets than the Federal Reserve interest-rate increase that is widely anticipated, putting his words at the centre of attention ahead of the decision. The expected rate hike remains the main policy event, but the significance attached to Mr Warsh’s comments could outweigh the move itself.

Arsenal interest in Rio Ngumoha is expected to grow, but Liverpool currently have no intention of allowing the teenage winger to leave, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has said. The 18-year-old has impressed during his limited time in Liverpool’s first team and is regarded as one of the leading young talents in his position. His future has nevertheless attracted attention, with Bayern Munich among the clubs linked with him during the summer. Romano said Arsenal would be likely to monitor Ngumoha, particularly after choosing not to bring in a direct replacement for Gabriel Martinelli when the Brazil international left. However, he…

Washington DC is set for a sunny and warm Wednesday, with temperatures expected to reach about 86F (30C) after a cool start and relatively low humidity. Early morning conditions may feel autumnal enough for an extra layer, but the temperature will rise steadily through the day as high pressure keeps the region dry. Light winds are expected to become southerly during the afternoon. The National Weather Service forecast puts Thursday’s high at around 89F (32C), with increasing humidity bringing a more summery feel back to the capital and surrounding parts of Maryland and Virginia. There is a chance of showers…
