‘We’re not going back’: The US and Europe are entering a new trade era

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 12:17:14 GMT

The trade relationship between the U.S. and the EU used to hinge on issues such as whether Americans could label their cheese using European names like Gorgonzola — or whether Europeans should buy U.S. chicken washed in chlorine.The focus now is more existential—and could make trade disputes more difficult to resolve.The first pandemic in living memory has forced a rethink of global supply chains. Massive investments are now pouring into climate change efforts. New technologies like artificial intelligence and next generation 6G communication networks threaten to upend how economies and governments function.Running beneath it all: growing anxiety over competition from China and an increasing focus in both the EU and U.S. on propping up domestic industries instead of encouraging global imports.“This is a different world: Climate, non-market economy policies and practices, supply chain vulnerabilities are top of mind,” said Daniel Mullaney, who retired this year as the United States’ ...

Scientists ‘stunned’ by mysterious structures found in the Milky Way

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 12:17:14 GMT

(CNN) — An international team of astrophysicists has discovered hundreds of mysterious structures in the center of the Milky Way galaxy.These one-dimensional cosmic threads are hundreds of horizontal or radial filaments — slender, elongated bodies of luminous gas that potentially originated a few million years ago when outflow from Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole, interacted with surrounding materials, according to a study published Friday in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The filaments are relatively short in length, each measuring 5 to 10 light-years.The findings come nearly 40 years after Farhad Yusef-Zadeh, the study’s lead author, and other researchers discovered another population of nearly 1,000 one-dimensional filaments, which are vertical and much larger at up to 150 light-years long each, near the galaxy’s center. Yusef-Zadeh and collaborators also found hundreds more paired and clustered vertical filaments ...

Bill Madden: With pitching woes throughout AL East, Yankees pitching remains class of the division

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 12:17:14 GMT

The cavalry in the persons of Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson arrived for the Yankees this weekend with Carlos Rodon hopefully not too long behind and that is good news in the Bronx. What is even better news, however, is that, in their absence, the Yankees have held their own in the American League East and going forward may have the best pitching in the division.As it is, the Yankee starters have compiled a 4.29 ERA over the first two months of the season (13th lowest in baseball) but that was mostly without Luis Severino and with Clarke Schmidt learning to pitch in the majors on the fly, having lowered his ERA by over a run in his last three starts. Gerrit Cole remains a dominant No. 1. Nestor Cortes, minus one horrific outing May 13 against Tampa Bay when he was sick, has made some minor adjustments and is back to being a consistent No. 2 or 3, while Domingo German had the lowest WHIP (0.975) of any AL East starter as of Saturday.This is significant because the Yankees’...

UN agency for Palestinian refugees raises just $107 million of $300 million needed

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 12:17:14 GMT

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Despite a dire warning from the United Nations chief that the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees “is on the verge of financial collapse,” donors at a pledging conference on Friday provided just $107 million in new funds — significantly less than the $300 million it needs to keep helping millions of people.Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of the agency known as UNRWA, said he was grateful for the new pledges but they are below the funds needed to keep over 700 schools and 140 clinics open from September through December.“We will continue to work tirelessly with our partners, including host countries — the refugees’ top supporters — to raise the funds needed,” he said in a statement.At the beginning of the year, UNRWA appealed for $1.6 billion for its programs, operations and emergency response across Syria, Lebanon, the Israeli-occupied West Bank and east Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and Jordan. That includes nearly $850 million for its core budget, which...

Senior UAE official defends Big Oil’s role at UN climate summit his Gulf nation will host

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 12:17:14 GMT

BERLIN (AP) — A senior United Arab Emirates official says the Gulf nation wants the U.N. climate summit it’s hosting later this year to deliver “game-changing results” for international efforts to curb global warming, but doing so will require having the fossil fuel industry at the table.Environmental campaigners have slammed the presence of oil and gas lobbyists at previous rounds of talks, warning that their interests are opposed to the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions — caused to a large degree by the burning of fossil fuels. Last month scores of U.S. and European lawmakers called for the summit’s designated chair, Sultan al-Jaber, to be replaced over his links to the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.The issue complicates already-delicate negotiations ahead of the Nov. 30 – Dec. 12 meeting in Dubai, known as COP28. Preliminary talks starting next week in Bonn, Germany, will show whether the incoming UAE presidency can overcome skepticism among ...

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — The number of people killed in days of clashes between Senegalese police and supporters of opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has now risen to 15, including two security officers, the government said on Saturday. Clashes continued in pockets of the city Friday evening with demonstrators throwing rocks, burning cars and damaging supermarkets as police fired tear gas and the government deployed the military in tanks.Sonko was convicted Thursday of corrupting youth but acquitted on charges of raping a woman who worked at a massage parlor and making death threats against her.

His lawyer said a warrant hadn’t been issued yet for his arrest.Sonko came in third in Senegal’s 2019 presidential election and is popular with the country’s youth. His supporters maintain his legal troubles are part of a government effort to derail his candidacy in the 2024 presidential election.Sonko is considere...
