In Kryvyi Rih, Zelenskyy’s hometown, the Russian army struck a residential district with a ballistic missile overnight, destroying a three-story building and damaging 20 more, including a hospital, local Mayor Oleksandr Vilkul said. “Unfortunately, 14 people were injured, and a 39-year-old man died of severe open brain injury. Ten people are in the city’s hospitals, the condition of one 60-year-old patient is serious, he is in intensive care, and the others are in moderate condition,” Vilkul said in a statement. Russian drones also targeted Kyiv, with the capital under attack for the third night in a row. While Ukraine’s air…

“Obviously, what I want to know is, if [the JETCO] were to be reinstated, would it be a substantive way to resolve some of these issues?” Reynolds added. Britain an ‘outlier’ The discussion between the pair comes hot on the heels of new U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s trip to Beijing and Shanghai this month. Plans are being drawn up for Chancellor Rachel Reeves to visit the country in early 2025. Compared to other G7 countries “the U.K. is an outlier by how little engagement we have had” with China, Reynolds said. Despite deep tensions between the United States and…

Sa publication survient alors que, comme nous vous le racontions, le débat sur la vidéosurveillance algorithmique reprend de plus belle et pourrait même se déplacer sur la légalisation de la reconnaissance faciale. SÉANCE GAMING. Le jeu vidéo s’invite au programme diplomatique du président. Alors qu’Emmanuel Macron entame sa deuxième journée à Rabat, sur l’invitation du roi du Maroc Mohammed VI, il s’adonnera, à 16 heures, à une “séance gaming”. Rien d’insolite, selon Nicolas Besombes, professeur d’université et membre actif de l’association France Esports : “Le Maroc est très intéressé par cette discipline, qu’il perçoit comme un nouveau levier de soft…

Der Kanzler lädt zum Industrie-Gipfel, und zeitgleich empfängt der Finanzminister die Familienunternehmer und den Mittelstand. Was heute normales, aktuelles politisches Geschäft sein könnte, ist Ausdruck weiterer Ampel-Streitereien. Denn abgestimmt haben sich Olaf Scholz und Christian Lindner nicht. Wie sich beide immer weiter entfremden und voneinander entfernen, analysiert Gordon Repinski. Nach dem Bekanntwerden umfassender Spar- und Streichlinien bei Volkswagen geht es im 200-Sekunden-Interview ebenfalls um die Industriepolitik und welche Fehler auch die Politik bei VW gemacht hat. Zu Gast ist Julia Klöckner, die wirtschaftspolitische Sprecherin der Union-Bundestagsfraktion und frühere Bundesministerin für Landwirtschaft. POLITICO-EU- und Diplomatie-Experte Hans von der Burchard berichtet vom…

There is, Harrison said “a long history of this being extremely damaging,” as he highlighted the example of Conservative tax rises in 1993 which led to their own “loss of trust.” Harrison added that, as prime minister, Conservative David Cameron had been “obsessed” with keeping manifesto pledges after witnessing the damage done to his Liberal Democrat coalition partners in the 2010s. That party reneged on a promise to scrap university tuition fees, and suffered greatly at the ballot box. Starmer’s government has stumbled into another political quagmire in recent days as he grasps to define “working people,” variously arguing that…

Challenging Belt and Road China shows no sign of slowing down on promoting its Belt and Road Initiative, now in its 10th year. The program — aimed at better interconnecting global markets through ambitious infrastructure projects — is also a tool to expand Beijing’s diplomatic influence and global standing, especially in developing countries. In 2021, the EU launched the Global Gateway as a counterforce to Belt and Road. So far, however, little has been achieved, and the new commissioner in charge, businessman-turned-politician Jozef Síkela, has vowed to make a change. “We must demonstrate that Europe’s offer is a better option,”…

The United States has also expressed concerns about the legislation, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has justified by citing the alleged involvement of UNRWA workers in the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks by Hamas on Israel in which more than 1,200 people were killed. “UNRWA workers involved in terrorist activities against Israel must be held accountable,” Netanyahu said in a statement on X. Israel and the UNRWA have an acrimonious history, which has worsened since Oct. 7. Several European countries suspended funding to the UNRWA after Israel first alleged, without presenting evidence, that some of the agency’s workers were involved…

“Georgia is a conservative, Christian and pro-Europe state. Instead of useless lecturing, they need our support on their European path,” Orbán said in a post on X. Georgia’s EU membership application was frozen earlier this year amid warnings of backsliding on human rights and repression after Georgian Dream pushed through a divisive package of Russian-style laws targeting civil society and the LGBTQ+ community. Europe is still divided on its response to the Saturday election, with Brussels calling for an investigation into alleged wrongdoing and individual member states expressing concern. The U.S., however, has taken a tougher line — having already…
