Published on 10/06/2026 – 14:50 GMT+2 A coalition of 45 major European investors managing €11.4 trillion in assets has warned European Union leaders that if Europe wants private capital to finance industrial decarbonisation, the bloc’s carbon market, the Emissions Trading System (ETS), must remain strong, predictable and central to economic strategy. The investors made their plea in a letter ahead of EU Council talks on 18 and 19 of June, where leaders will discuss the future of the ETS. A legislative review of the carbon market system is scheduled for 15 July. The European Commission recently laid out a four-year…

“During the discussion, it was agreed to accelerate NATO projects on responding to drone threats, so that support measures for affected Allies can be approved at the [alliance’s] Ankara summit” next month, he said. The pre-planned meeting came after a Russian drone crashed into an apartment block in Romania late last month, injuring two people and drawing an immediate plea from Bucharest to fast-track NATO air defense deliveries. The alliance has also scrambled jets to shoot down suspicious drones over Latvia and Estonia in recent weeks. “As a direct result of Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, we’ve seen more incidents…
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President Antonio Costa and with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung celebrated the signing of new a digital trade agreement at a ceremony in Brussels on Wednesday. The event marked the EU and South Korea’s 11th summit, with everything from security and defence to trade on the agenda. “Korea is one of Europe’s closest partners in the Indo-Pacific region and on the global stage,” von der Leyen said. “In today’s uncertain world, stable and trusted partnerships like ours are more precious than ever.” The trio released a joint statement extolling the value…

President Emmanuel Macron said on Wednesday he feared for trust in France’s institutions after a botched investigation into the main suspect in an 11-year-old girl’s likely murder triggered public outrage. The body of the girl, named as Lyhanna, was found last week after she went missing on 29 May in the southwestern town of Fleurance. The suspect, a 41-year-old father of a school friend of the victim, had twice before been formally accused of raping a child, but investigations had been dropped or had stalled. “It is trust in our institutions that is at stake,” Macron told a cabinet meeting,…
Riot police used tear gas and heavy deployments to disperse crowds, while some demonstrators threw objects and set small fires in the streets. Residents fear the centre could expose local communities to Ebola, even though Kenya has recorded no confirmed cases. The unrest has become a significant political and public health controversy in the East African nation. The dispute has continued despite a Kenyan High Court order suspending construction and banning the arrival of foreign patients pending a legal challenge filed by the Law Society of Kenya and a constitutional watchdog group. Protesters argue the agreement lacked transparency and public…
Release the files! This has been going on long enough, and it’s high time that the powerful were held accountable for their lies. The conspiracy must be exposed, and the truth needs to be given to the people. The Trump administration may have declassified more than 160 military archive files related to UFOs (or UAPs – “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon”) three weeks ago, but releasing some grainy surveillance videos as a means of distraction is not what the public demand. Much as you try to bury it, the truth is out there, and Fox Mulder’s quest remains prescient to this day.…
History repeats? This focus on defending Protestant turf from outsiders dates to Act I, Scene I of the Northern Ireland conflict. Those “Troubles” ignited in Belfast in August 1969 with loyalist attacks on Irish nationalist households, driving out thousands of Catholics to create exclusively Protestant areas — a sectarian map still starkly in evidence today. Near spots where Catholics were burned from their homes two generations ago, 40-foot-high walls dubbed “peace lines” demarcate working-class districts into, on one side of the fortifications, Catholic neighborhoods marked with the green, white and orange of the Irish tricolor and, on the other side,…
