As shocking videos emerged showing New Yorkers wading through filthy waist-deep water to catch a train, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighed in on Twitter to blame 'fossil fuel execs' and promote her Green New Deal as the solution to severe weather.  The thunderstorms that brought large hail to parts of New Jersey and spurred flash flooding in Manhattan are unrelated to Elsa, which hit the DC area on Thursday night as it heads towards NYC.

Premier Gladys Berejiklian has brought in a raft of tough new social distancing restrictions in a desperate bid to contain the highly contagious Delta strain after Sydney recorded another 44 local cases of Covid-19 overnight. An increasingly worried Ms Berejiklian warned the community to brace for worse case spikes in coming days and flagged the city's now-three week lockdown was unlikely to be lifted by July 16.
