“Donald’s been a friend for many, many years. I’m a regular at Mar-a-Lago,” Farage boasted on the Benny Show. “I get on with many of his family. We have a laugh together — I mean, he’s a proper bloke.” In Britain, Farage has publicly dampened his closeness to Trump as he tries to position himself as a contender for U.K. prime minister, particularly since the war with Iran. “I haven’t really been in touch with Trump for many months,” Farage said in an interview with Times Radio in April, as the U.S. and Israel got bogged down in a price-spiking…

Dies geschah nach einer monatelangen Kampagne von Öl- und Gasunternehmen. Sie machten geltend, dass wesentliche Elemente der Vorschriften, die sie zur Überwachung und Nachverfolgung von Leckagen des starken Treibhausgases verpflichten, unklar seien. Das berge die Gefahr von Verstößen, was dazu führen könnte, dass wichtige Lieferungen Europa nicht erreichen. Mit seiner Haltung schließt sich das Parlament der Forderung der Industrie nach einer dreijährigen Verschiebung an. Die Abgeordneten schlossen sich den Bedenken der Branche hinsichtlich des Risikos von Versorgungsengpässen an, die mit einer übereilten Umsetzung der Vorschriften verbunden wären. „Die Verschiebung der Anforderungen an Öl- und Gasimporteure im Rahmen der Methanverordnung ist…

A former reporter for Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun, where at the start of his career he covered stories on the Ghibli animation studios, it is highly unlikely that Kenichi Yoda (1974) could have imagined he would one day go on to lead the very company he specialised in during his time as a culture journalist. His rise to the summit of this legendary temple of cinematic anime came on 22 June, when he took over the presidency from Hiroyuki Fukuda. His interview with Euronews takes place 48 hours before he accepts, on behalf of his studio, the 2026 Princess of…
