EU Scrambles For Climate Deal Ahead Of UN Summit In Brazil

EU Scrambles For Climate Deal Ahead Of UN Summit In Brazil

September 18, 2025 5:59 am

Europe’s claim to global climate leadership is under strain. On Thursday, environment ministers from the European Union’s 27 member states will meet in Brussels, racing against a looming United Nations deadline to finalize a plan for slashing greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.

The EU — the world’s fourth-largest emitter after China, the United States, and India — has long styled itself as the standard-bearer for climate ambition. Yet deep divisions over the bloc’s green agenda have left Brussels scrambling to avoid embarrassment ahead of November’s COP30 summit in Belem, Brazil.

With member states unable to agree on a binding 2040 …

Australia’s Climate Pledge Branded ‘Anti-Climactic’

Australia’s Climate Pledge Branded ‘Anti-Climactic’

September 18, 2025 5:47 am

Australia has pledged to slash greenhouse gas emissions by as much as 70 percent from 2005 levels by 2035 — a move Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hailed as “responsible” and “science-based.” But the announcement, made Thursday in Canberra, has been met with disappointment by climate experts and Pacific leaders who argue the country is still falling short of what science demands.

The target forms part of Australia’s formal submission under the Paris climate accord, which requires nations to outline their emissions-cutting goals and detailed roadmaps. The stakes are high: Australia is seeking to co-host next year’s UN climate summit with …

Ukraine Becomes Test Of Britain’s Soft Power On Trump

Ukraine Becomes Test Of Britain’s Soft Power On Trump

September 18, 2025 5:37 am

King Charles III’s state banquet speech on Wednesday was cloaked in tradition, heavy on ceremony, and cautious in tone. Yet amid the gilded grandeur of Windsor Castle, one short passage cut through the pageantry: Ukraine.

“In two World Wars, we fought together to defeat the forces of tyranny,” the king said, raising his glass toward President Donald Trump beneath the vaulted ceiling of St. George’s Hall. “Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine, to deter aggression and secure peace.”

The words were gentle, but deliberate. For Britain, Ukraine remains the …

Republicans Quash Schumer Bid To Unseal Epstein Files

Republicans Quash Schumer Bid To Unseal Epstein Files

September 17, 2025 9:29 am

WASHINGTON — A sudden bid by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to force the release of government records tied to Jeffrey Epstein collapsed on Wednesday, after Republicans swiftly moved to block the effort in a rare floor clash.

By a narrow 51-to-49 vote, the Senate tabled Schumer’s amendment, which he had quietly slipped into the annual defense authorization bill. The proposal would have compelled Attorney General Pam Bondi to hand over any Justice Department files connected to Epstein, the financier and convicted sex offender whose network of associates continues to stir public speculation.

Two Republicans — Senators Josh Hawley of …

UNICEF: Gaza’s Children Endure Severe Hunger In Ongoing War

September 17, 2025 9:16 am

The war in Gaza, now in its second year, has created a generation of children teetering on the edge of survival. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned this week that more than 10,000 children in Gaza City alone require urgent treatment for acute malnutrition — a stark reminder that the conflict’s toll extends well beyond the battlefield.

“Mass displacement is pushing families into unimaginable conditions,” said Tess Ingram, a UNICEF spokeswoman based in southern Gaza’s Al-Mawasi zone. “For the most vulnerable, it is a deadly threat.”

Ingram spoke during a UN press briefing in Geneva, painting a grim picture …

Japan Exports To US Drop 14% As Trump Tariffs Bite

September 17, 2025 8:50 am

Japanese exports to the United States fell sharply in August, plunging nearly 14 percent as President Donald Trump’s tariffs continued to disrupt trade flows and weigh heavily on Japan’s key industries. Official data released by Japan’s finance ministry showed a 13.8 percent year-on-year decline in the value of goods shipped to the US, the steepest drop in more than four years. The auto sector, which accounts for about a third of Japanese exports to the American market, was hit hardest.

Car shipments tumbled 28.4 percent, while auto parts slid 7.1 percent, underscoring the pressure on manufacturers already struggling with a …

Newcastle Apologise After Ticketing Oversight Scandal

Newcastle Apologise After Ticketing Oversight Scandal

September 16, 2025 4:57 pm

Newcastle United have issued an apology to supporters and cancelled more than 100 season tickets after uncovering an oversight that allowed tickets to be sold through unauthorised channels. The controversy came to light when it was revealed that a school almost 200 miles away had purchased seats for the highly anticipated Champions League clash against Barcelona, despite overwhelming demand from fans.

The incident stems from an arrangement made nearly a decade ago with a small group of tour organisers, who were initially allowed to purchase tickets for school groups. Although the club’s current ownership ended such third-party deals four years …

Mudryk’s Doping Case Reveals Legal Battles And Setbacks

September 16, 2025 4:49 pm

Mykhailo Mudryk’s career has been thrown into turmoil as the Chelsea and Ukraine winger faces a doping charge that has left him provisionally suspended from football. The 24-year-old, who joined Chelsea in January 2023 for an initial €70 million, was first suspended in December 2024 after a urine test detected a banned substance. A formal charge followed in June, though the Football Association’s investigation remains ongoing without a clear timeframe for resolution.

Mudryk’s defence is being managed by a high-profile sports law firm with a history of representing elite athletes in similar cases. His inner circle insists that he never …

Asian Markets Gain Ahead Of Fed Rate Cut Decision

September 16, 2025 7:36 am

Asian stocks pushed higher on Tuesday, extending Wall Street’s record-breaking momentum, as traders prepared for what is widely expected to be a US interest rate cut this week. The move comes as investors also monitor potential talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The Federal Reserve’s policy decision, due Wednesday, is viewed as a near certainty, but market focus has shifted to the central bank’s “dot plot” projections for borrowing costs in the months ahead. Investors will also parse comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell for signals on how aggressively the bank may ease policy as the …
