But Kadis said the new act would go well beyond the scope of the MSPD, providing a framework to implement the wide-ranging goals of the new European Ocean Pact, a policy promise of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s second term. Those goals include cutting red tape, promoting sustainable aquaculture and fishing, boosting ocean tourism, strengthening maritime defense and investing in ocean science. “The [Ocean] Act will ensure that existing targets linked to the ocean are identifiable under one roof and will facilitate their coherent and effective implementation, while at the same time decreasing administrative burden,” Kadis said Thursday. But…
“We would like to take it to the highest level,” he added, in a seeming reference to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Kara-Murza made the remarks after addressing members of the European Parliament in Brussels on Thursday together with Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of former Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison last year. Navalny’s team claims he was murdered on Putin’s orders. Ilya Yashin, another Russian opposition politician who took part in Thursday’s discussion in Brussels, said the EU could mediate between Russia’s democratic movement and Ukraine’s government. “We want to start this dialogue with Ukraine,”…
By Emma De Ruiter with AP Published on 06/06/2025 – 8:09 GMT+2An overnight Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv has killed at least four people and injured 20 others, city mayor Vitali Klitschko said, as air raid sirens rang out during a wider combined attack across Ukraine.Klitschko said search and rescue operations were underway at several locations.Multiple explosions were heard in the capital, Kyiv, where falling debris sparked fires across several districts as air defence systems attempted to intercept incoming targets, said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Administration.“Our air defence crews are doing everything possible. But we must protect one…
Dans son sillage, plusieurs autres sénateurs (principalement LR), font leur entrée au gouvernement et à des postes stratégiques. Marie-Claire Carrère-Gée devient ministre chargée “de la coordination gouvernementale”, sorte de bras droit de Michel Barnier (une fonction qui ne survivra d’ailleurs pas à ce gouvernement). Le président de la commission des Lois, François-Noël Buffet, est nommé à l’Outre-mer puis ministre délégué à l’Intérieur sous François Bayrou. Chargée du Commerce extérieur, Sophie Primas deviendra ensuite porte-parole du gouvernement Bayrou. Nathalie Delattre est passée, elle, des Relations avec le Parlement (sous Barnier) au Tourisme (sous Bayrou), tandis que Françoise Gatel est chargée de…
By Angela Barnes & AP Published on 06/06/2025 – 6:42 GMT+2In three hours on Thursday, shares in Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company plunged by more than 14% in a stunning wipeout, as investors dumped their holdings amid a bitter war of words between the president and the world’s richest man. By the end of the trading day, $150 billion (€139bn) of Tesla’s market value had been erased — more than what it would take to buy all the shares of Starbucks and hundreds of other big publicly traded US companies.The disagreement started over the president’s budget bill, then quickly turned nasty after Musk…

Rixa Fürsen analysiert zusammen mit der Washington-Korrespondentin der WELT, Stefanie Bolzen, das Aufeinandertreffen des Kanzlers mit dem US-Präsidenten im Weißen Haus. Deutlich konstruktiver, entspannter und freundschaftlicher war der Termin, als in Deutschland zuvor befürchtet worden war. Die beiden besprechen, was Merz erreicht hat, warum Deutschland und seine Rolle bei Trump trotzdem nur eine untergeordnete Rolle gespielt haben – und was durch das Treffen künftig für NATO, Ukraine und Handel herausspringen könnte.

Flanked by regulators, law enforcement and Clara Chappaz, the minister overseeing digital affairs and artificial intelligence, Bergé began the meeting in an ornate government office with a nearly five-minute tirade accusing Meta, Snapchat, TikTok, Twitch, X and YouTube of not doing enough to combat influencers posting sexist and violent content. “The time for irresponsibility is over,” said Bergé, whose full brief includes gender equality and the fight against discrimination. “The Republic expects more than just intentions from you. It expects results. From now on, you must and will be held accountable in a regular, transparent and public manner.” Chappaz…
Bulgarian government officials and members of the European Parliament accused Waitz of concealing lobbying meetings with North Macedonian officials, claiming he favored North Macedonia’s demands while leaking them confidential information and ignoring Bulgarian input. Bulgarian MEP Andrey Kovatchev said the letter was written in response to statements by North Macedonia’s prime minister “who in several consecutive statements himself admits that he has worked with the rapporteur in recent months.” Waitz’s office denies any particular collaboration with the North Macedonian government, though it admitted he was late to declare meetings per the Parliament’s voluntary 30-day rule. He was poised to declare…
Yashin was joined in Brussels by Yulia Navalnaya — the widow of Alexei Navalny, who died in an Arctic prison in 2024 — and Russian-British journalist and former political prisoner Vladimir Kara-Murza. Together, they urged the EU to increase support for Ukraine and deepen collaboration with the Russian opposition. The relationship between Ukraine and the Russian opposition has often been strained over the years. Ukraine has previously accused some opposition figures, including members of Navalny’s circle, of echoing Putin’s imperialist views — particularly by hesitating to fully condemn Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. Since Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine…
