WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden, who has recently been focused on boosting oil production to reduce rising gas costs, will turn his attention to climate change on Friday when he convenes a virtual meeting of some of the world's biggest economies.Among the participants will be China, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom and the European Union.

Also present will be Egypt, which is hosting the next United Nations summit on climate change, and the U.N. secretary general, António Guterres.The conference is known as the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate, and it began under President Barack Obama in 2009.The White House said the meeting is a "continuation of the president’s efforts to use all levers to tackle the global climate crisis." Senior administration officials, who were not authorized to comment publicly before the event, said Biden would use the opportunity to prod his counterparts to adopt additional efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.FILE - President Joe Biden speaks during a bill signing event at the State Dining Room of the White House on June 16, 2022, in Washington, D.C.

Facing political pressure to get prices under control in a midterm election year, the Democratic president has urged U.S. oil refiners to produce more fuel.Biden also is expected to visit Saudi Arabia next month.

French bulldog thefts: Breed being targeted by thieves due to price, rise in popularity
PHILADELPHIA - The popularity of the French bulldog has increased over the years and so have thefts of the breed. According to the American Kennel Club's list of the most popular dog breeds in 2021, the French Bulldog ranked number two. The canine has exceeded expectations and surpassed the popularity of other top-ranked dogs such as the German Shepard and Golden Retriever.French Bulldog Village Rescue board member Cara Berarado joined "Good Day Philadelphia" to highlight the issue of increased French Bulldog thefts. RELATED HEADLINESFox 29 anchor Mike Jerrick asked the burning question, "The screaming question is, why are people stealing them?"Berarado says the value of each French Bulldog may be motivation for theft as they range in price from $5,000 to $10,000. In 2021, singer and actress, Lady Gaga was a victim of two of her French Bulldogs being stolen. The Los Angeles Police Department believed the motive behind the robbery was the value of the dogs rather than the platform of the owner. Locally, a Philadelphia man spoke to FOX 29 after his French Bulldog puppy named Chaos was stolen from his home on the 4800 block of Darrah Street. French Bulldogs wearing bandanas in the colours of the Ukrainian flag rest in their pen on the first day of the Crufts dog show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, central England, on March 10, 2022.
