Europe🌍:
1. Lufthansa cancels more than 1,000 flights
Lufthansa German Airlines canceled more than 1,000 flights ahead of a one-day work stoppage by ground staff planned for Wednesday, just before families across Germany leave for summer vacation.
Strikes and staff shortages have already caused airlines, including Lufthansa, to cancel thousands of flights and caused hours-long queues at major airports, frustrating holidaymakers who wanted to travel after the COVID-19-related closures.

Quarterly figures:
McDonalds
$MCD (+0,17 %)
Despite a significant increase in sales in the second quarter, McDonald's has lost a lot of revenue decline due to high costs and the withdrawal from Russia. The Burger King rival reported Tuesday that profits fell 46% year over year to $1.2 billion. Unexpectedly, McDonald's increased like-for-like sales by 9.7%.
However, the group took special charges of $1.2 billion for abandoning its Russian business after the war in Ukraine. The giant fast-food chain is also still struggling with exorbitant expenses. Overall sales fell 3% to $5.7 billion. However, the stock initially responded with modest gains in premarket trading. In terms of global sales, McDonald's significantly beat forecasts.
