Published on 05/11/2025 – 11:34 GMT+1 Coca-Cola’s annual Christmas advert is AI-generated this year. Again. Last year, the company ignited the worst kind of festive furore by leaning into artificial intelligence for its Christmas campaign, with a trio of ads that were blasted as tacky eyesores that clashed with the more wholesome feeling of past commercials. Clearly unfazed by the backlash, the brand has doubled down this year by releasing more AI ads, featuring gawping anthropomorphic animals gathering around a truck driven by a Santa who makes you want to reach for a three-cylindered flamethrower. To say nothing about an…
President Donald Trump’s radical new tariff regime has generated a surge in revenue from importers that must pay higher duties — and the United States has now generated 133.9% more revenue from them so far this year compared with last year.But is it enough to replace the income tax as the main source of funding for the federal government, as Trump administration officials have argued?Treasury Department data shows that will be a massive stretch. Tariff revenues have been growing for months, and the latest data shows that the U.S. has collected $133.7 billion from them as of Aug. 20 — $76.6…
Published on 05/11/2025 – 12:02 GMT+1 Germany should deliver long-range Taurus missiles to Ukraine, and NATO allies must increase deliveries to help Ukrainians defend themselves against Russian missiles and drones, former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told Euronews in an interview. Rasmussen, who was NATO chief from 2010 to 2014 after serving as the prime minister of Denmark, suggested that NATO allies need to increase pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring him to the negotiating table, although at the moment Putin has no motive to do so. “President Putin has no incentive whatsoever to engage constructively in…

Ce plan n’est pas juridiquement contraignant, mais définit l’orientation de la politique climatique européenne pour les cinq prochaine années. Il reprend une déclaration informelle que l’UE a présentée lors du sommet sur le climat qui s’est tenu à New York en septembre. Les ministres ont également adopté un objectif juridiquement contraignant visant à réduire les émissions dans l’UE de 85% d’ici à 2040. L’accord prévoit qu’une réduction supplémentaire de 5% sera obtenue en externalisant des réductions d’émissions à l’étranger par l’achat de crédits carbone internationaux. En outre, les gouvernements des 27 seraient autorisés à utiliser des crédits carbone supplémentaires pour…

Dieser Plan ist nicht rechtsverbindlich, gibt aber die Richtung der EU-Klimapolitik für die kommenden fünf Jahre vor. Das Programm ähnelt einer informellen Erklärung, die die EU im September auf einem Klimagipfel in New York vorgelegt hat. Die Minister verabschiedeten auch ein rechtsverbindliches Ziel für die Senkung der Emissionen in der EU um 85 Prozent bis 2040. Fünf Prozent sollen durch die Auslagerung von Emissionssenkungen ins Ausland durch den Kauf internationaler Emissionszertifikate erreicht werden. Darüber hinaus wäre es den Regierungen gestattet, Gutschriften zu verwenden, um weitere fünf Prozentpunkte ihrer nationalen Emissionsreduktionsziele auszulagern. Die Minister stimmten auch einer weitreichenden Überprüfungsklausel zu, die…

Forty years after Charles Saatchi first opened his doors to a then-disused paint factory in north London, the Saatchi Gallery remains a benchmark for contemporary art – a space where the new, the daring and the downright unexpected collide. Its latest exhibition, The Long Now, is both a celebration of that legacy and a statement of intent for the future. Spread across nine huge, carefully curated white-walled rooms, over two floors, The Long Now is a breathtaking mix of the physical and the digital, and of artists both acclaimed and newly emerging. Curated by former Senior Director Philippa Adams, it…
The draft agreement also seeks changes to existing green legislation. Responding to a demand from Italy, countries will demand that “zero- and low-carbon fuels” continue playing a role in “road transport,” a reference to weakening the bloc’s 2035 combustion-engine phaseout. To appease Poland, the draft deal also calls on the Commission to postpone the introduction of a new carbon tax on transport and heating fuels — key to meeting the bloc’s existing 2030 climate target — by one year. The text also suggests heavy industry be given free pollution permits under the bloc’s carbon market for longer than planned. A deal…
