Dengue has spiked worldwide. The World Health Organization declared it an emergency in December as cases have globally increased tenfold over the last generation.The United Arab Emirates have issued many warnings about dengue. Mosquitoes spread dengue and have flourished in the UAE after it experienced record-setting rainfall.While the UAE did not answer questions regarding the number of cases, activists say that laborers are being hit the hardest by the virus.Since the United Arab Emirates witnessed its heaviest recorded rainfall ever three months ago, the desert nation has issued a multitude of warnings about dengue which, activists say, has surged and struck hardest among the vast populations of laborers.The tropical disease, spread by mosquitoes, has witnessed a worldwide spike. The World Health Organization declared it an emergency in December as cases have globally increased tenfold over the last generation.Many people infected by the virus are asymptomatic, but some experience headaches, fever and flu-like symptoms. Severe cases can lead to serious bleeding, shock and death.LOCAL DENGUE FEVER CASES CONFIRMED IN FLORIDA KEYS, SPREAD BY MOSQUITO BITESIn the UAE, a federation of seven sheikhdoms, the disease has usually spread due to travel on long-haul carriers into the country. However, on April 25, the Department of Health alerted that locally transmitted cases without travel history have been documented since 2023 "as a result of climate change and an environment conducive to mosquito breeding."Changes in weather patterns turn countries previously inhospitable to Dengue-carrying mosquitoes into possible habitats.The April deluges, which flooded portions of major highways and Dubai’s international airport, only amplified the risk in the Gulf country. While major thoroughfares quickly saw vacuum pumps arrive, others remained saddled for weeks with stagnant pools of water, where virus-carrying mosquitoes lay their eggs and spread the disease.

(AP Photo/Christopher Pike, File)No official figures have been shared in the Emirates where broad laws severely restrict freedom of speech and almost all major local media are either state-owned or state-affiliated outlets. Queries sent to various governmental organizations about the exact number of confirmed dengue cases went unanswered.The WHO also declined to discuss the situation in the UAE when reached by The Associated Press. However, the U.N. health agency noted in its May 30 report that there have been continued dengue outbreaks in Mideast "countries with stronger health-care systems that have been affected by unusual rains due to climate change." It also said: "Timely data sharing also remains a challenge for other countries in the region for reasons such as the potential impact in the tourism, economy and other sectors."Meanwhile, public awareness campaigns across the sheikdom on the importance of cleaning stagnant water and warnings about dengue, also known as breakbone fever, have been widely aired on state media.Still, activists stressed that communities of laborers are bearing the brunt of the disease.The slow cleanup of flooded areas in industrial sites has worsened the spread of the disease among laborers, some of whom have left their home countries already affected by climate change for a chance to earn money in the UAE, according to a report issued by FairSquare, a London-based group focused on labor rights in the Gulf Arab states.The July 4 report detailed a surge in dengue cases among migrant worker communities across the Emirates, citing three healthcare workers, a government official, and migrant workers. The group attributed the rise in cases to a lagging government response to the spread of the viral infection in areas where migrant laborers live and work.James Lynch, a FairSquare co-director once banned from entering the UAE while at Amnesty International, told the AP that "the important thing here is the disproportionate impact" of how the virus seems to mainly spread among laborers. "What you would want to see is an even-handed approach to dealing with clean up and it doesn’t seem to be the case here."No specific figures were shared in the report which quoted a nurse, who works at a private clinic in the city of Sharjah, as saying they receive over 30 cases every four or five days, describing the rise in cases as "alarming."The UAE’s overall population of more than 9.2 million is only 10% Emirati, with millions of low-paid workers from Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia."I call it a double whammy of climate change on this very vulnerable population," said Barrak Alahmad, a research fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. "I see that these migrant workers are on the front line facing the effects of climate change and health."The effect of the virus also resonated in Iran.The Islamic Republic relies on Dubai as a major transit point to the rest of the world due to the international sanctions it faces over its nuclear program and tensions with the West.On July 9, Shahnam Arshi, an Iranian health ministry official, said of 149 people infected with dengue, 130 had been infected in the UAE while Hossein Farshidi, deputy health minister, said the first known infected person entered Iran on May 15, after the flooding in the Emirates.Farshidi, in his latest remarks on July 23, said the number of infected people in the country, rose to 152, without giving further details.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThis year, Iran also reported its first locally transmitted cases of dengue, saying the number rose to 12 in July, all of them located in the Bandar Lengeh port, south of Iran.Earlier this year, Brazil's Rio de Janeiro declared a public health emergency because of mosquito-borne dengue fever, while in July, U.S. officials warned doctors to stay on alert as the tropical disease broke international records."Each year, we are going to see new places and different local governments struggling with either dengue or other issues from climate change," said Alahmad, the research fellow. "It is an ever-expanding issue. I don’t know if we have an easy fix to this."

This comes two weeks after the former president was shot in an assassination attempt in the Keystone State, and one week after President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race and endorsed Harris.The state of the race is similar to where it was in April, when Biden and Trump were tied 48-48%. The survey, released Friday, shows Harris and Trump locked in a tie at 49-49% -- barely different from what the final election results were in 2020 (49.85% Biden vs. 48.69% Trump).CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSince April, Harris has held on to most of Biden’s coalition while Trump’s groups have stayed firm, but there are a few notable shifts in voting patterns from the spring. Trump has closed the gap with voters under 30 (-27 points in April to -4 points today), voters 65 and over (-5 to -1), suburban women (-32 to -12), those with a college degree (-18 to -10) and has widened it slightly among Independents (+8 to +9).FLASHBACK: HARRIS TRIED TO DEFUND BORDER PATROL AGENTS, SLASH ICE BUDGETHarris has narrowed the gap among White men without a degree (-34 points to -28 points).Seven in 10 Pennsylvanians are extremely motivated to vote this year, with Democrats slightly more enthusiastic (75%) than Republicans (72%), and Independents decidedly less enthused at 43%. Overall, those extremely motivated to vote are a bit more likely to back Harris (51% to 49% Trump).The expanded ballot shows Harris with a 2-point edge: 45% Harris, 43% Trump, 7% Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Jill Stein and Cornel West with 1% each. Third parties hurt Trump here as 10% of his two-way supporters go for someone else compared to 7% of Harris’ supporters.Voters are split on Harris’ favorable rating: 49-49%. Still, views of her are better than Biden (41% favorable, 57% unfavorable) or Trump (46-53%). Vice President Kamala Harris arrives for a campaign event in Milwaukee, Wisc., on Tuesday, July 23, 2024. (Daniel Steinle/Bloomberg via Getty Images)Those with negative views of both Biden and Trump back Harris by 41 points. In April, Biden was up by only 27 points among these so-called double haters. "While the horserace remains deadlocked, there’s more under the surface to suggest Democrats are in a significantly better position in Pennsylvania than in April," says Democrat Chris Anderson, who conducts Fox News surveys with Republican Daron Shaw. "The Democrat at the top of the ticket is now more favorable than Trump and Democrats are more motivated, and the key group of double haters are breaking more heavily for Harris than they were for Biden."Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is widely considered to be on Harris’ shortlist of potential running mates, receives a 61% favorable rating -- the highest of any individual tested. His rating has improved by 10 points since July 2022 when he was campaigning for governor.The survey also finds he does better than Harris in a hypothetical matchup against Trump: Shapiro 54% to Trump’s 44%, for a 10-point lead. That is outside the margin of error.That’s because Shapiro outperforms Harris among key groups such as women, White voters, those under age 30 and over 65, college graduates, Republicans, Independents, and suburban voters. He does slightly worse with nonwhites compared to Harris.Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was also tested against Trump. She fares about the same as Harris: 48% Whitmer vs. 49% for Trump in a potential matchup. Her favorable rating sits at 38% favorable vs. 34% unfavorable while 28% can’t rate her.Those receiving the lowest favorable ratings are Trump’s running mate JD Vance (38% favorable, 47% unfavorable) and Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar (32-35%), although 15% can’t rate Vance and 33% can’t rate Klobuchar.TRUMP QUICKLY MOVES TO DEFINE HARRIS AS ‘MORE LEFT THAN BERNIE SANDERS’Biden’s job approval rating is down slightly from April, underwater by 12 points (44% approve, 56% disapprove) compared to 10 points in the spring (45-55%). One factor keeping the race tight is that voters who somewhat disapprove of Biden go for Trump by only 5 points.And while 78% approve of Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race, two-thirds say he should finish his term (65% finish term, 33% resign). President Biden boards Air Force One as he departs Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Del., on July 23, 2024. (SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images)Majorities of Democrats (86%), Republicans (69%), and Independents (78%) support Biden stepping aside from the campaign. Democrats and Independents think he should finish his term as president, while Republicans are more likely to want him to resign.Overall, 47% want Harris to replace Biden, including 74% of self-identified Democrats. Shapiro comes in second among both groups for replacing Biden (20% all voters, 14% Democrats). Just 2% of voters want Whitmer or Klobuchar.Shapiro and Whitmer are set to campaign for Harris in Pennsylvania on Monday.Four in 10 Pennsylvanians say the economy will be the most important issue to them when voting this fall. That’s the highest of the issues tested and comes as three times as many voters say they are falling behind (44%) rather than getting ahead financially (14%). Another 4 in 10 (42%) are holding steady. The only other issues in double digits are immigration (16%) and abortion (15%). All others are under 10%. "Even more so than in other battleground states, the economy is everything in Pennsylvania," says Shaw. "Trump’s edge on the economy in general, and inflation in particular, is why he is better positioned now than he was four years ago, and that’s the biggest problem for Harris."Economy and immigration voters back Trump by 31 and 86 points respectively, while abortion voters back Harris by 67 points.A few more things…In the Senate race, incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania leads Republican challenger David McCormick by 13 points. It also shows he performs better than Harris does against Trump, with Casey getting 55% support to McCormick’s 42%.Some 15% of Trump supporters switch sides to Casey while just 3% of Harris backers defect to McCormick.CLICK HERE FOR TOPLINE AND CROSSTABSConducted July 22-24, 2024 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,034 Pennsylvania registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (131) and cellphones (636) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (267). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error associated with subgroup results is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.

A virtual meeting dubbed "White Dudes for Harris" plans to hold a call on Monday to drum up excitement for Vice President Kamala Harris’ election bid. "Over 10,000 white men from all across the country are expected to join the effort this week and will be on hand to welcome Vice President Harris to the presidential race and pledge to help get her elected," organizers said on a sign-up form for the call. The call comes after 164,000 White women broke the world record for largest Zoom call on Thursday, all hopping on a meeting to show support for Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign.The massive remote meeting – advertised as "White Women: Answer the Call" – featured multiple celebrity guests like U.S. Women’s Soccer star Megan Rapinoe, musician Pink, and actress Connie Britton, some of whom spoke to a horde of specifically White women, hoping to shore up support for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.DEM WHO CRITICIZED VP HARRIS' HANDLING OF SOUTHERN BORDER ENDORSES HER FOR PRESIDENT A virtual meeting dubbed "White Dudes for Harris" plans to hold a call on Monday to drum up excitement for Vice President Kamala Harris’ election bid following other calls that included White women, Black men and Black women. (Samuel Corum/Sipa/Bloomberg via Getty Images)Britton, who also spoke during the virtual event, jokingly called the meeting, "Karens for Kamala."The Thursday online gathering was inspired by a previous Zoom call directed at Black women last Sunday that was organized by activist group "Win With Black Women" only hours after President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw from his re-election campaign, endorsing Harris. That event had around 44,000 attendees and raised more than $1.5 million for the Harris campaign, The Guardian reported.On Monday, more than 50,000 Black men also held a call in support of Harris. Shannon Watts, the founder of gun-control advocacy group "Moms Demand Action" organized Thursday’s record-breaking meeting. Two days prior to the event, she posted on X, stating, "Time to organize a white women conference call like the Black women and men have to support Vice President Kamala Harris. Who’s in?"‘THEY TAKE US FOR GRANTED’: BLACK AMERICANS SOUND OFF ON MISCONCEPTIONS DEMOCRATS HAVE ABOUT THEM (White Dudes for Harris)According to Reason.com, the event raised over $1.8 million for the Democratic National Committee on Thursday evening, with attendees being encouraged to blast out a fundraising link to their friends and family.Feminist outlet The 19th reported that by Friday afternoon nearly $7 million more had been raised. In a speech to the virtual participants, Britton declared, "we've got a f------ job to do, y'all." The actress added that a future President Harris will "listen" as well as "lead with empathy, integrity, and the power of the truth."She then gushed about the moment that Biden stepped down and the vice president assumed the mantle of presumptive presidential nominee. "It was seismic. Cosmic, even. And since then—have you seen it? Have you seen Kamala glisten in the brilliance and shine of her true power and leadership? And what does that feel like? Feels like self-love."Watts, who also spoke on the call, called out White women for their previous voting patterns, stating, "The bad news is that a majority of White women vote for Republicans, because too many of us believe, subconsciously, that it is in our best interest to use our privilege and our support systems of White supremacy and the patriarchy to benefit us." Actress Connie Britton was among the celebrities on the White women call, nicknaming it "Karens for Kamala." (Kevin Winter/Getty Images)BERNIE SANDERS SAYS TRUMP'S ‘LYING’ WHEN HE CLAIMS KAMALA HARRIS IS MORE LIBERAL THAN THE VERMONT SENATORShe urged them to break the mold and unite behind Harris. "White women, we have 100 days to help save the world!" she said.Author and liberal activist Glennon Doyle also spoke to the 160,000 virtual attendees, telling them they need to "step up and out and into the gap between democracy and fascism," adding that when the election is won, they can say "we were among the women who finally united, and…we saved the goddamn world."Ahead of Monday's meeting, the White Dudes for Harris sign-up vowed they wouldn't be bullied by the "MAGA crowd.""Together, we aren’t going to sit around and let the MAGA crowd bully other white guys into voting for a hateful and divisive ideology because we understand that under MAGA everyone loses. We know that as white dudes, we have both a strong, and positive role to play in America’s shared future, and it begins with all of us cutting through the MAGA crap and reminding the folks who have co-opted American symbols what America actually means. We are excited to join together with you in this fight." Ahead of Monday's meeting, the White Dudes for Harris sign-up vowed they wouldn't be bullied by the "MAGA crowd." (Bill Pugliano/Getty Images))Ross Morales Rocketto, one of the White Dudes for Harris organizers, wrote on X that they were "inspired by the incredible organizing by Black women, men, and others! We are doing this because for too long our community hasn’t organized itself and that’s been to the detriment of everyone."Harris’ entrance in the race has given Democrats a jolt of energy following weeks of uncertainty after Biden’s weak debate performance against former President Trump and a succession of calls from liberals for him to drop out. Other demographic-specific calls in support of Harris have included South Asians and LGBTQ+. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPMany supporters are now excited at the prospect of the first female president who is also Black and South Asian, but some have expressed concern that Americans may not be ready to vote for a Black woman.

Since filing for divorce earlier this month, Christina has accused her estranged husband of transferring $35,000 of her money into his personal bank account after their divorce filing, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital."An insecure man with a large ego can sure try and derail you - but, ‘still I rise.'" — Christina HallIn the documents, Christina stated: "On July 21, 2024, I learned that on July 8, 2024, which is the day after I communicated to Josh that I would be filing for dissolution, Josh contacted my professional property manager via text and stated, 'Hi. For June payments, can we please get it sent to a different account when it's time? Thank you.'""The statement ‘can we please’ is not accurate as I had no personal contact with Josh on July 08, 2024. I would not have asked him to send himself my money the day after I told him we are getting divorced," she continued. "Josh was able to divert over $35,000 of my separate property rental income into his account," Christina added. "I am asking for Josh to account for the funds taken and return them to me as those funds are specifically used to pay any loans, obligations, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance for these rental properties." Christina and Josh Hall wed in October 2021. Christina has three children from previous marriages.

"It makes me wonder what else I am not aware of as it relates to his financial situation and that is why I am having a full forensic accounting performed for the entire term of our marriage."Additionally, Christina stated that her ex "should not need" spousal support as he has his own source of income.

"However, it is my belief that this is a simple case with straightforward accounting over a short period of time, any fees and costs should be minimal.""Like all hard-working mothers, my life revolves around my children and my work. It is my understanding that Josh has his own income and therefore he should not need any spousal support from me," she added. Christina's union with Joshua marked her third marriage.
