Europe’s fuel manufacturers are strategic allies — not obstacles — in achieving climate neutrality. We stand ready to accelerate decarbonization across all transport sectors, with the right policy support. Europe’s fuel manufacturers are strategic allies — not obstacles — in achieving climate neutrality. With growing concern, FuelsEurope and its members observe the recent public discourse questioning the availability of SAF in Europe — and, astonishingly, the commitment of Europe’s fuel manufacturing sector. Recent claims by the aviation industry, citing an early version of a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) report,1 allege that fuel producers are falling short of delivering SAF to…

This symbiotic relationship is, of course, how Westminster has worked for decades. The Conservative government had its own mostly separate battalion of “friendly” think tanks that helped draft policies and strategy. Plenty also doubt think tanks will actually end up driving more policy. “There’s ‘we need your help,’ and there’s ‘sure! We’re always glad to have your help!’” said one Labour member of parliament, rolling their eyes. “Those are two different things.” All the same, Labour has every reason to ask. Almost a year into a five-year term, the government is fighting slow economic growth, a slump in opinion polls…

A lone exit poll released by Klan Kosova — a news channel from neighboring Kosovo — and the English-language Albanian Post news site known for its pro-government views, points to a decisive win for Prime Minister Edi Rama’s Socialists at 51 percent, with Sali Berisha’s Democrats lagging significantly behind at 38 percent. Broadcasters have offered no obvious explanation for their decision not to publish the polls, running normal stories such as analysis on what a win for either contender could mean or on small incidents such as a ballot box being damaged in the region of Kamëz. “My guess is…

Earlier this week, the US President Donald Trump posted on his social media site that he plans to impose a 100 per cent tariff on films produced outside the United States. “The US film industry is dying at a rapid pace.

Tusk had said in March that evidence from Lithuania suggested Russia was to blame for the attack, in line with suspicions in Poland, but his statement on Sunday was unequivocal in assigning responsibility to Russia. The Lithuanian investigation found that a May 9, 2024 arson attack on an IKEA store in Vilnius, as well as the May 12, 2024 Marywilska fire, were set by Ukrainian citizens acting on behalf of Russia, Tusk wrote in March. A week earlier, Polish prosecutors had said a Belarusian refugee was responsible. Nobody was injured in the fire in Warsaw.

Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022, and the resulting war has killed hundreds of thousands of people. Under Trump, the United States — which until he took office had been a staunch financial and military supporter of the Ukrainian war effort — has grown closer to Russia and pulled away from Ukraine. Zelenskyy, shortly after Trump’s post, said on X: “We await a full and lasting ceasefire, starting from tomorrow, to provide the necessary basis for diplomacy. There is no point in prolonging the killings. And I will be waiting for Putin in Türkiye on Thursday. Personally. I hope that…
