(GREECE) — Greek officials are looking for an American tourist who went missing this week while they were visiting an island off the coast, just days after another U.S. tourist went missing while vacationing nearby.
The unidentified missing man was last seen Tuesday at a tavern in Mathraki, located west of Corfu Island, where he was staying with a Greek American friend, investigators told ABC News.
The friend called the police after he returned home Thursday and found the door of the house open, the lights on, the air conditioning unit on, but the missing American’s ID and travel documents gone, along with the man himself, according to investigators.
Mathraki has no police station or coast guard so officers from Corfu had to be called in to assist with the investigation.
Mathraki only has 40-50 permanent residents in the winter, and many Greek Americans spend their summers there, according local officials.
Search and rescue teams were in the water Thursday but paused their operations Friday due to rough weather, officials said. The search is planned to continue Saturday.
The unidentified man’s disappearance happened the same week that another American tourist was reported missing while visiting a Greek island.
Albert Calibet, 59, a former Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputy, failed to return from a hike on the island of Amorgos Tuesday.
Calibet, who m friend said had experience hiking in the area, reportedly began his hike at 7 a.m. local time on Tuesday and was last seen at 11 a.m. by walkers he met with on a trail, according to Greece’s national Hellenic Police.
Greece is experiencing a heat wave this week, during which temperatures have soared to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
(WASHIGNTON) — As Donald Trump turns 78 on Friday, his campaign is trying to paint 2024 rival President Joe Biden as mentally incompetent by distorting a moment from Biden’s trip overseas this week to the G7 summit that has gone viral on social media.
“From Italy to the United Kingdom to New York, millions of people around the world woke up to headlines about Crooked Joe Biden’s cognitive decline on full display at the G7 Summit,” Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt wrote in a statement.
Leavitt was referring to a skydiving demonstration Biden attended on Thursday alongside other world leaders gathered in Italy. Footage from the event was selectively edited in a misleading way by the New York Post.
The Post made it seem as if Biden was speaking to no one before the Italian prime minister ushered him back to the group. In a caption, the New York Post wrote that Biden appeared to “wander off” and someone needed to “pull him back to focus.”
“Biden was seen staring off into the distance and wandering around like a brain-dead zombie, and even had to be ushered by Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni,” Leavitt claimed.
The edited video posted by the tabloid to X had 4.7 million views as of Friday afternoon.
It was flagged by the social media platform, which provided additional context that the video had been cropped.
The unedited footage shows a different picture: a skydiver had just landed in the spot Biden walked toward moments before and the president went to approach him to give him a thumbs up. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni then brought Biden back to the group so one of the skydivers could brief them.
Another angle of the moment shows the skydiver Biden was addressing when he walked away.
White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates, in a post to X, said the “Murdoch outlets are so desperate to distract from” Biden’s record that “they just lie.”
“Here, they use an artificially narrow frame to hide from viewers that he just saw a skydiving demonstration,” Bates wrote. “He’s saying congratulations to one of the divers and giving a thumbs-up.”
Bates also posted his own video that showed Biden walking toward the skydiver to praise him.
Polls show age is a major issue among voters this election cycle when it came to both candidates, though more appear to have concerns about Biden, who turned 81 last year.
A recent Marquette University poll found 79% of respondents said the phrase “too old” describes Biden “very or somewhat well,” compared to 54% who said the same about Trump.

(MEXICO) — The World Health Organization confirmed Friday that Mexican authorities believe the man with a rare human case of bird flu actually died from other co-morbidities.
On June 5, the WHO shared an update that a 59-year-old patient died with the H5N2 strain of bird flu, or avian influenza. It was the first laboratory-confirmed human case of the H5N2 strain reported globally and the first-ever reported case in Mexico.
This strain is different than the bird flu strain that is currently circulating in livestock in the United States. Three dairy workers have been infected in the U.S., all of whom have recovered.
Following the first release, Mexican Health Secretary Jorge Alcocer Varela pushed back on the WHO’s statement, saying the man died from a separate condition and not bird flu, although the WHO said the patient only tested positive for bird flu, not that he had died of bird flu.
In the latest update, the WHO said health officials in Mexico had concluded the man died because of his co-morbidities.
“A national multidisciplinary group of experts was formed to investigate the cause of death. It included infectious disease specialists, pneumonologists, microbiologists and intensive care professionals,” the WHO wrote. “Upon review of the patient’s clinical history and records, the national multidisciplinary team concluded on 6 June that, although the patient had a laboratory-confirmed infection with avian influenza A(H5N2) virus, he died due to complications of his co-morbidities.”
Additionally, the WHO said national authorities performed a genetic analysis on the strain and found it had a 99% similarity with the strain seen in birds this year in the Texcoco State of Mexico.
The Mexico patient had no history of exposure to poultry or other animals, according to the WHO. Mexico has been dealing with an outbreak of the virus in poultry.
On April 17, the patient developed fever, nausea, diarrhea, shortness of breath and general malaise. He was hospitalized on April 24 at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases in Mexico City and died the same day.
The patient’s relatives said he had been bedridden for three weeks for other reasons prior to contracting bird flu, the WHO said.
Mexican authorities reported the human case to the WHO on May 23.
No further cases have been documented during health officials’ investigation, according to the WHO. All the people the patient was in contact with at his home and in the hospital have tested negative for influenza viruses.
In the U.S., an outbreak of the H5N1 strain has been found to sicken millions of birds as well as older dairy cows. So far, three farmworkers have been sickened in the U.S., one in Texas and two in Michigan.
All three had mild symptoms and have recovered. There is no evidence of human-to-human transmission and the risk to the general public is low, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
(NEW YORK) — One person has been arrested and two others are being sought for burning American and Israeli flags outside the Israeli consulate in New York City, authorities said.
Jahki Lodgson-McCray, 20, was charged with reckless endangerment, menacing, disorderly conduct and failure to use a sidewalk, authorities said.
On Wednesday, three people used an accelerant to burn flags in an active bike lane outside the Consulate General of Israel in midtown Manhattan, according to the NYPD.
“The flames of the flags presented a danger to bikers having to swerve out of the bike lane onto ongoing traffic and also presented a danger to civilians on the sidewalk,” police said.
The New York Police Department’s Hate Crime Task Force is looking for the two outstanding suspects.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry called them “cowards” on social media.
“The NYPD will identify and apprehend all of them for their failed efforts to sow fear and discord in the place where mutual respect is the essence of who we are,” Daughtry wrote.
The flag burning comes on the heels of vandalism incidents in New York City this week, including at the homes of the Jewish director of the Brooklyn Museum and several of the museum’s board members, officials said.
And on Monday, a masked man led a call-and-response chant by protesters on a crowded Manhattan subway car. The chant asked Zionists to identify themselves.
“Repeat after me: Raise your hands if you’re a Zionist,” the leader, wearing sunglasses and a traditional Palestinian keffiyeh scarf, which has become a symbol of pro-Palestinian resistance, is heard repeatedly saying in the video, adding, “This is your chance to get out!”
“Ok, no Zionists, we’re good,” the leader is then heard saying.
The NYPD is working to identify the masked leader.
(LAS VEGAS) — Not all birthdays are worth celebrating in the eyes of former President Donald Trump, who marks his 78th birthday on Friday.
“There’s a certain point at which you don’t want to hear ‘Happy Birthday.’ You just want to pretend the day doesn’t exist,” Trump quipped to his supporters last week at a rally in Las Vegas after they broke out in song for him ahead of his birthday.
Still, the former president is not missing out on the chance to campaign on his birthday — marking his 78th with a sold-out speech in West Palm Beach Friday evening in front of his most fervent supporters: members of his “Club 47” fan group.
On Thursday, Trump also received an early birthday celebration from congressional Republicans, who sang for him during their closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill, sources told ABC News. They presented him with a cake with the numbers “45” and “47” as they rallied behind him in a show of force ahead of November’s election.
However, in an election year where age remains a focal points for both candidates, Trump has attempted to highlight mental fitness and competency instead of age as he edges closer to the age of his opponent, President Joe Biden.
“Joe Biden is not too old to be president. I know a lot of people that are older than me. They’re at the top of their game. It’s not even close. But he is too incompetent,” Trump said in a video posted on his social media platform last week.
Trump repeated his claim that Biden is incompetent — not old — during his most recent rally in Las Vegas, even questioning the sitting president’s intelligence.
“This guy — there’s just something missing,” Trump said. “There always has been — by the way, he always had the worst and dumbest foreign policy.”
Trump was able to fend off his younger Republican challengers during the primary as they launched attacks on his age, calling for a new generation of leadership.
“I feel my mind is stronger now than it was 25 years ago. Is that possible? I really do,” Trump said at a rally in January, responding to criticisms from former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley about his age. “Now Biden can’t say that, you know he can’t say that.”
Trump said something similar at a New Hampshire rally in January.
“I feel like I’m about 35 years old. I actually feel better now than they did 30 years ago. Tell me, is that crazy?” Trump said. “I feel better now. And I think cognitively I’m better than I was 20 years ago. I don’t know why.”
He has also routinely bragged about “acing” the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, a test doctors use to uncover early signs of cognitive impairment, while in the White House.
“Only about 2% in this room can do it, but I did it. I did it very easily,” Trump said about his results on the test at an event in Las Vegas in January. “But I got mocked — they said, ‘Oh, that’s so easy.’ It’s not easy. It’s not easy. Go home and try doing it.”
The Trump campaign has started fundraising off the former president’s birthday, blasting out numerous fundraising emails to followers, asking them to sign his virtual birthday card and a donation in celebration of his birthday.
“Birthdays are incredibly important in our family, and we’re counting on your help to make President Trump’s birthday celebration his BIGGEST one yet! Our goal is to collect 1 MILLION signatures from Patriots like YOU wishing him a ‘happy birthday,’ but we’re missing yours,” the email reads.
The Biden campaign is using Trump’s birthday to highlight his stumbles throughout his professional and political life, releasing a list of “78 of Trump’s historic … ‘accomplishments,'” which include his felony convictions as well as digs at his business ventures into steak, vodka and water.
“Happy birthday, Donald. You’re a crook, a failure, a fraud, and a threat to our democracy, economy, rights, and future,” Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said in a statement. “On behalf of America, our early gift for your 79th: Making sure you are never President again.”
Biden has repeatedly been forced to defend his mental fitness and age due to persistent gaffes; however, his campaign has leaned into his old age, highlighting how it shows he has extensive experience to address the nation’s problems.
In a campaign ad released earlier this cycle, Biden acknowledged his advanced age directly.
“Look, I’m not a young guy,” Biden said with a chuckle at the start of the ad, speaking directly to camera. “That’s no secret. Here’s the deal, I understand how to get things done for the American people.”
On Biden’s 81st birthday in November, the Trump campaign released a limited, generic physical exam from Trump’s doctor.
“It is my opinion that President Trump is currently in excellent health, and with his continued interest in preventative health monitoring and maintenance, he will continue to enjoy a healthy active lifestyle for years to come,” Dr. Bruce Aronwald wrote in the letter.
Trump’s physician added Trump’s physical exams were “well within the normal range” and his cognitive exams “were exceptional.”
However, while Trump and his campaign look to highlight Biden’s gaffes and blunders, the presumptive Republican nominee has had his own share of slip ups.
Throughout the campaign trail, Trump has mixed up former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with Haley — and former President Barack Obama with Biden. Both times, the campaign has attempted to clean up his comments by stating “its a distinction with a difference.”
And as Trump often boasts about his strong mind and ability to talk off the cuff, at his most recent rally in Las Vegas, where he claimed the teleprompters weren’t working because of the high heat temperatures, the former president delivered a freewheeling, tangent-filled speech.
Yet still, despite the fact that polls show that voters agree that both Biden and Trump are too old to hold office for another term, they show more concern for Biden’s mental fitness compared to Trump.
In a Marquette University poll from last month, 79% of respondents said the phrase “too old” describes Biden “very or somewhat well,” compared to 54% saying the same of Trump.
In another poll from ABC News/IPSOS in May, people were asked which personal attributes apply to either candidate more. Trump led Biden on mental sharpness 42%-23% with 34% saying it applies to neither. On physical health, Trump again led Biden 42%-20%, with 37% applying the word to neither.
(MILWAUKEE) — Former President Donald Trump’s comments reportedly calling Milwaukee a “horrible city” continue to spark debate as Republicans and Trump’s campaign dispute the characterization of his comments, and Democrats persistently amplify his words — including through a new billboard campaign in the city.
In his closed-door meeting with House Republicans on Thursday, Trump called Milwaukee, which is hosting the Republican National Convention next month, a “horrible city,” sources told ABC News.
The comments, first reported by Punchbowl News, attacked Milwaukee — a major city in a key battleground state in the 2024 election where both Trump and President Joe Biden are working to woo voters.
Trump clarified his comments in an interview with WITI-TV, the Milwaukee Fox News station, on Thursday.
“It was very clear what I meant. I said, we’re very concerned with crime,” Trump said. “I love Milwaukee, I have great friends in Milwaukee. The crime numbers are terrible and we have to be very careful.”
Trump’s campaign spokesperson also punched back on the reports, arguing that Trump’s words were taken out of context.
“He was talking about how terrible crime and voter fraud are,” said campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung.
In another statement, the campaign wrote that it was a “total lie” that Trump called Milwaukee a “horrible city.” However, they went on to add, “President Trump was explicitly referring to the problems in Milwaukee, specifically violent crime and voter fraud,” suggesting he did make comments about the city, just not in the way some were interpreting it.
The campaign then includes a series of tweets from Republican members from Wisconsin inside the room who agree with the campaign’s description that Trump was not making a blanket disparaging statement about the city.
Republicans — including those from Wisconsin — quickly jumped to Trump’s defense, insisting the former president was talking about crime and election security.
“@realdonaldtrump was specifically referring to the CRIME RATE in Milwaukee,” Rep. Derrick Van Orden posted on X after the meeting.
Rep. Glenn Grothman told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Trump “was concerned about the election” and “felt we need to do better in urban centers around the country.”
Rep. Bryan Steil claimed on X that Trump “did not say this” in the conference meeting.
“There is no better place than Wisconsin in July,” Steil said.
The front page of Friday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel featured Trump’s words front and center: “Trump: Milwaukee ‘horrible.'”
Biden’s campaign and other Democrats are also teeing off on Trump’s comments.
Biden’s campaign is starting to sell merchandise, including stickers and T-shirts that read “(NOT) a horrible city” on top of the Wisconsin state outline as well as “I love Milwaukee” T-shirts where the heart is replaced with beer, an homage to the many breweries around the state.
On Friday, the Democratic National Committee announced that the group has paid to put up billboards around Milwaukee with Trump’s reported comments criticizing the city.
The billboards, which will launch in 10 different locations across the city, feature the quote that Trump is reported to have said during Thursday’s closed-door House Republican meeting: “Milwaukee, where we are having our convention, is a horrible city.”
In a post on X, Biden responded to Trump’s comments with a photo of him with the Milwaukee Bucks after they won the 2021 NBA Championship.
Trump’s rivals are accusing him of abandoning the pivotal swing state — including Wisconsin’s Democrats.
“If Donald Trump thinks Milwaukee is so horrible, then he shouldn’t come to our city,” Wisconsin Democratic Coordinated Campaign Manager Garren Randolph said in a statement. “Milwaukee — our state’s largest and most diverse city and home to more than 577,000 people, the Bucks and Brewers, and the country’s best beer — deserves better than a convicted felon, racist, and wannabe dictator who hates us and our values.”
Trump is scheduled to hold a campaign event in Racine, Wisconsin — 30 miles south of Milwaukee — next Tuesday, where he will focus his remarks on inflation and immigration. In just over a month, Trump will return to Milwaukee to accept the Republican nomination at the party’s convention.
(WASHINGTON) — Bump stocks, the firearm modification banned by the federal government until the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the regulation Friday, have generated controversy ever since the device was created over how they change the way semi-automatic weapons are fired.
The modification replaces the back of a semi-automatic rifle, which is usually held up against the shoulder, and allows the weapon to slide back and forth.
Typically, semi-automatic weapons can discharge only one bullet per press of the trigger. However, with the bump stock attached, the user can use the motion and energy from the kickback as the weapon slides back and forth and rapidly fires more bullets.
A shooter can keep a finger still as the recoil and bump stock move the trigger back and forth, according to weapons experts.
A bump stock modified semi-automatic can fire 400 to 800 rounds per minute, experts said. By comparison, a fully automatic weapon, which is prohibited for civilian use, shoots 700-950 rounds per minute.
Gun control advocates have called for the device to be banned after it was used in several shootings, including the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting where 58 people were killed and hundreds were wounded.
It is the deadliest mass shooting in American history.
A year later, President Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to reclassify bump stocks to fall under the federal definition of “machinegun” and ban their sale, a drastic change in their policy which explicitly allowed the sale and use of the modification.
More than 700,000 bump stocks were sold since 2009.
However, the policy change was challenged in court by Michael Cargill, a Texas gun owner and weapons store owner, who contended the federal government overstepped its authority and bump stocks did not render semi-automatics as automatics.
“An agency within the federal government can’t come out and actually turn millions of people into felons overnight or ban a product. We have to go to Congress to do that.” Cargill told ABC News in February.
The Supreme Court’s conservatives agreed with Cargill Thursday and struck down the ban.
(GREECE) — A search and rescue operation is underway for a 59-year-old American who was reported missing Tuesday after failing to return from a hike on a Greek island.
Albert Calibet, a former Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department deputy, failed to return from a hike on the Greek island Amorgos amid extreme heat, with temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. He was hiking from Aegiali toward Katapola, which takes roughly four hours.
Calibet reportedly began his hike at 7 a.m. local time on Tuesday and was last seen at 11 a.m. by walkers he met with on a trail, according to Hellenic Police.
A woman who runs a small refreshment stand told police she saw him around 11 a.m. on Tuesday, supplying him with water and refreshments.
He was due to meet with a friend between noon and 1 p.m. at the end of a trail, but Calibet never made it to the meetup point, Hellenic Police said.
The friend tried calling Calibet on his phone, but there was no answer, so the friend reported him missing to local authorities.
Calibet has reportedly visited the island many times and knows the trail and area very well.
A Hellenic Fire Department helicopter and a drone are aiding in an aerial search for Calibet in ravines and areas that are not walkable, while rescue teams have already walked the trail twice, according to police.
Locals who know the rugged terrain well, including shepherds, are all involved. The search was described as “extensive,” with the operation shifting focus beyond the trail now that it has been thoroughly checked, Kalliopi Despotidl, the deputy mayor of Amogros island, told ABC News.
Landscape varies around the trail where Calibet went missing, with some rocky cliffs and gorges, according to Despotidl.
“The terrain is not flat. The trail from Aegiali to Katapola is marked and well-trodden. But he might have gone off the marked area, and that is why they have expanded their search,” Despotidl said.
The deputy mayor also said Calibet is well known on the island, saying she’s seen him coming to Amorgos for at least 10 years. He’s a regular visitor and loves hiking. “He knows the paths better than me,” she said.
Calibet joined the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in 1998 and has continued to be a part-time employee since he retired in 2018, according to the department.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Calibet’s family and friends and our hope is that we can bring him home safely,” said Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna. “We are actively collaborating with multiple agencies abroad to provide assistance in the search for Deputy Calibet and will use every resource we have available to bring him back to those who love him.”
The brother of the missing American, Oliver Calibet, and the missing American’s girlfriend, Debbie LaShane, arrived in Greece on Friday to help in the search and rescue efforts for Albert Calibet.
LaShane and Albert Calibet talked on the phone just before he set out on his trek Tuesday morning, LaShane told ABC News.
“He called me right before he was leaving for the hike. … It was 7:07 [a.m.] in Greece, and then we spoke six minutes, and then he sent me a picture at 9:20 [a.m.] at the trail head with the sign. And we have not spoken since,” LaShane said.
It’s been “excruciating; awful. Walking around in a daze, sick to our stomachs knowing that he’s out there somewhere,” LaShane said.
“Time is of the essence because it’s on the fourth day, so it’s not good. But, we’re very positive,” Oliver Calibet said.

(WASHINGTON) — Commander, the first family’s embattled German Shepherd, bit another U.S. Secret Service agent while President Joe Biden was walking him around the White House grounds, according to newly released records.
Biden was walking Commander in the Kennedy Garden on Sept. 12, 2023, when the dog bit a Secret Service agent who approached the president to help him with something, the records obtained by conservative activist group Judicial Watch and reviewed by ABC News show.
“As I started to walk toward him to see if he needed help, Commander ran through his legs and bit my left arm through the front of my jacket. I pulled my arm away and yelled no,” according to an email sent from an unnamed agent. “When turning to close the door, Commander jumped again and bit my left arm for the second time.”
The emails were part of Judicial Watch’s lawsuit for U.S. Secret Service emails via a Freedom of Information Act.
The email shows that while no skin was broken, the agent’s coat did have dog bites in it.
After it was reported in the press that another agent was bit, frustration set in at least for one agent, the emails show.
“Can we please find a way to get this dog muzzled,” the unnamed agent wrote.
The dog was moved from the White House in October, due to a string of over 11 biting incidents, according to an ABC News tally.
In one incident, a Secret Service uniformed officer had to be taken to the hospital after a bite from Commander.
(MIAMI) — More than 4 million people remain under a flood watch through Saturday evening in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Scattered showers are expected Saturday, much lighter than last week, but still enough to cause ponding and flash flooding because there is nowhere for new rainfall to go.
Over the last seven days, Miami and Fort Lauderdale have both officially seen more than 14 inches of rainfall.
The amount of rain that Miami and Fort Lauderdale received in the last seven days constitutes a 25-year event. There is a 4% chance this type of rain event happens any given year.
This is based on climate records specifically for this area, but rapid human-induced climate change is amplifying heavy rain and prolonged flood events.
Sunday is finally looking like a “mostly” dry day for the South Florida region. There is inevitably always a chance for a pop-up thunderstorm for this area, and that will still be the case on Sunday, but there isn’t expected to be an onslaught of continuous rain.
Severe weather
The heaviest rain this weekend is expected to fall in the Upper Midwest from Wisconsin to Nebraska, where a severe risk exists.
Later Saturday afternoon and into the overnight, strong supercells will have the chance to form over cities like Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, and Des Moines, Iowa. These storms have the potential for a few tornadoes as well as damaging winds and large hail. Heavy rain may also lead to flash flooding.
On Sunday, the threat for damaging wind, large hail, and flash flooding is from Rapid City, South Dakota, to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
The threat for scattered severe storms on Monday is mainly for the Dakotas and Minnesota.
Excessive heat
An excessive heat warning is in effect through Sunday for parts of Arizona and southern California.
Phoenix, Arizona, could reach 113 degrees while Tucson could reach 110 degrees. This is a Major Heat Risk.
In southern California, Palm Springs and Imperial could reach temperatures between 115 and 118 degrees Saturday.
El Paso, Texas, could reach a heat index value over 100-degrees, leading to an Excessive Heat Warning for that area through the weekend.
Record heat moves east
A heat dome is setting up and getting ready to move east across the country in the coming days, bringing a chance for record-breaking daily temperatures, and the hottest conditions of the year so far.
On Sunday, cities like St. Louis, Missouri, Nashville, Tennessee, and Little Rock, Arkansas will all rival daily record high temperatures, and their hottest temps of the year so far, with potential high temps around 100-degrees.
The Extreme Heat Risk on Monday is for an area from Kansas City, Missouri, to St. Louis, Missouri, to Des Moines, Iowa, and the Quad Cities.
The potential for record daily highs could occur in Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Columbus, Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
On Tuesday, the Extreme Heat Risk is for Chicago, Green Bay, Indianapolis, nearly all of Michigan including Detroit and Grand Rapids, Cincinnati and Louisville.
Thursday is expected to be much of the same as Wednesday, with the Extreme Heat Risk creeping into the Northeast and now including areas from Ohio to Maine — possibly even including New York City for the first time this year.
