The UK company that designed the modular underwater habitats says they could be used for everything from marine studies and tourism to security. Imagine living underwater, not just for a few hours on a dive, but for days, weeks, or even months.One UK-based company is working on creating underwater habitats for long-term human sea exploration.”We took a step back and recognised that the ocean, and particularly beneath the surface of the ocean was one of the last remaining blind spots for humanity,” said Sean Wolpert, the president of DEEP.”We can see deep into space, we can see near space, and…
On labor and skills, the EU’s climate and competition chief, Teresa Ribera, has spoken at length — if not in detail — about the importance of social policy elements in the Clean Industrial Deal. At an event on Monday, she said developing the Clean Industrial Deal “requires thinking in terms of skills, labor force and job opportunities.” At another event last week she said: “Many of the problems we are experiencing right now … may be connected to the fact that there are many Europeans that feel that the institutions do not care about them. That we are speaking about business…

Davos 2025: Changing their minds on Trump — Anthony Scaramucci and Niall Ferguson – POLITICO Skip to main content
In the document, the agency waters down its previous openness to single pilot operations — adding an extra regulatory hurdle. “EASA has adjusted its rulemaking program to make clear that we will focus first on evaluating the development and deployment of such advanced cockpit technologies,” said EASA spokesperson Janet Northcote. Single pilot flying does not entail having only one pilot at the controls of an airliner for the duration of a flight. Instead, it would allow one pilot to be alone in the cockpit when the airplane is cruising, allowing the second pilot to step away from the controls. For…
4. BTW, we are still into this globalization thing. At a time when Trump is touting trade tariffs and “America First,” von der Leyen’s speech seemed designed to send the opposite signal: We’re open to doing business with anyone. Von der Leyen addressed potential trading partners directly, saying: “If there are mutual benefits in sight, we are ready to engage with you.” Indeed, a key message from the speech was that Europe wants to diversify its trading relationships away from America. While Trump is declaring an emergency on America’s southern border and gearing up for tariffs against Mexico, von der…
“Ukraine receives assistance from the United States under the Presidential Drawdown (PDA), Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), and Foreign Military Financing (FMF) programs. The executive order does not apply to these programs,” the center added. However, Ukraine’s United States Agency for International Development reconstruction programs seem to be in limbo. The executive order Trump signed Monday does not specify which kind of U.S. foreign aid programs will be frozen. “The United States foreign aid industry and bureaucracy are not aligned with American interests and in many cases antithetical to American values. They serve to destabilize world peace by promoting ideas…
“I think President Zelenskyy has played it extremely well,” said Volker. “By aligning himself with what President Trump wants, he’s made it clear that the problem is not Ukraine. The problem is Putin.” The next weeks will be crucial for Kyiv and for Moscow. “I think Trump is going to call Putin and tell him to end the war. I think Putin will not agree … and I think the Trump team will understand they have to show strength. Show more resolve. And put it all on the table,” Volker said. That could mean harsher sanctions, substantially increasing U.S. energy…
“Une période très difficile” Deux semaines après la victoire électorale de Donald Trump, les pays participant aux négociations sur le climat de la COP29 en Azerbaïdjan n’ont pas réitéré leur engagement, pris il y a un an, d’abandonner le plus rapidement possible les énergies fossiles. Les responsables des négociations ont indiqué que le retour de Trump avait revigoré les partisans du pétrole, du gaz et du charbon, tels que l’Arabie saoudite, la Russie et la Chine, affaibli la confiance dans les promesses des Etats-Unis, et rendu plus difficile pour les nations vulnérables face au réchauffement climatique de tenir bon pour…
The foreign ministry in Berlin is looking to increase the consequences of such attacks by adopting new sanctions against Russia’s so-called shadow fleet — oil and gas tankers helping Moscow earn billions of dollars from illicit fossil fuel sales by surreptitious means — and by limiting the time of accreditation and freedom of movement for holders of Russian diplomatic passports, according to the document seen by POLITICO. In order to help prevent more hybrid attacks in future, the foreign ministry wants to ramp up cooperation with private companies, such as cable providers, while conducting regular stress tests for critical infrastructure,…
