Let’s build a new road’,” Barrack said, noting that Ankara is playing a pivotal role in this context.”Syria and Lebanon need to reach peace agreements with Israel,” the ambassador said, adding: “President Ahmed al-Sharaa has…
The prime minister has made significant concessions on the welfare bill after the threat of a mass rebellion from his own MPs. The changes have left Chancellor Rachel Reeves with another black hole in the public finances and some MPs are still planning on voting against the bill when it comes in front of the House of Commons tomorrow. Also, as Sir Keir Starmer celebrates his first full year in power, has this latest U-turn left him in a vulnerable position with his party and the wider public?

Smith told Times Radio that the BBC “made a mistake here. It’s not good enough simply to say on screen that this is dodgy language.” A government spokesperson confirmed that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has spoken with BBC Director General Tim Davie about the performance. Opposition politicians have already been piling in. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said Vylan was “inciting violence and hatred” and even suggested the BBC should be prosecuted for broadcasting the footage. Philp added: “Our national broadcaster should not be transmitting hateful material designed to incite violence and conflict.” Bob Vylan are not the first act to…

After his government folded on the tax, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Trump administration agreed to resume trade talks, aiming to reach a deal by July 21, according to Canada’s Department of Finance. Trump has repeatedly railed against “non-tariff barriers” imposed by other countries — particularly regulations and taxes on the tech industry. Britain’s digital services tax caught Trump’s attention, though Britain’s trade secretary told POLITICO last week that reducing it is not part of ongoing U.S.-U.K. trade talks. POLITICO and other outlets reported last week that Europe has indicated it’s willing to be flexible on the Digital…
Such credits will allow the EU to pay for emissions-slashing projects in other, usually poorer countries, and count the resulting greenhouse gas reductions toward its own 2040 target, rather than the climate goals of the country hosting the project. The draft proposal envisages using them only in the second half of the decade. “Starting from 2036, a possible limited contribution towards the 2040 target of high-quality international credits under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement” — global rules governing carbon credits — “of no more than 3% of 1990 EU net emissions,” the draft states. The Commission aims to propose legislation…
Voluntary reporting is unlikely to bridge this data gap, both in terms of the number of companies that will effectively report and regarding the quality of information reported. Using basic, voluntary questionnaires that were designed for very small entities would result in piecemeal disclosures, downgrading data quality, comparability and reliability. Market feedback has already demonstrated that it is necessary to go beyond voluntary reporting to avoid these shortcomings. This is precisely why EU regulators designed the CSRD in the first place. As a result of the Omnibus initiative, investors will likely focus on a limited number of investee companies that…
Reiche plant, bis 2030 „bis zu 20 GW“ Gaskraftwerke als Reserve für den Strommarkt auszubauen. Sie sollen bei Dunkelflauten und Strompreisspitzen einspringen. Bis zum Jahresende will Reiche Kraftwerke mit 7 bis 10 GW ausschreiben. Uniper findet den Zeitplan unrealistisch. Vor 2031 oder 2032 stünden dann keine neuen Werke. „Das ist eher sehr unwahrscheinlich, weil wir für Genehmigung und Bau mit ungefähr fünf bis sechs Jahren kalkulieren“, so Higgen. Habecks Kraftwerk-Strategie mit 12 GW Leistung, teilweise H2-ready, sollte man „nicht wieder vollständig aufschnüren, um zügig mit Ausschreibungen starten zu können“, sagte ein EnBW-Sprecher zu Tom. Das Unternehmen prüfe bereits Investitionen. Versorgungssicherheit:…
