A free trade agreement between the European Union and the South American trade bloc is approved, but some countries aren't happy. We speak to a European Commissioner for Trade about the deal.And there's another big deal brewing - this time in the mining sector, as Glencore and Rio Tinto are in preliminary talks about a takeover worth two hundred and seven billion dollars. A mining analyst gives us his take on what it could mean for the industry.And how has news of that deal affected markets? We'll be finding out.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Ellen Coyne join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· The long-anticipated EU-Mercosur trade deal was provisionally approved on Friday, despite the opposition of Ireland, France and three other countries. The deal has been immensely unpopular in Irish political life for a long time, thanks largely to efforts by the farming lobby. But there is now a sense that some figures in the European Commission are disappointed the Government did not make the case for the economic upsides of the deal. · Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in China this week on a four-day visit. Trade was also high on the agenda there, with China eager to import more high-quality food from Ireland. Human rights were mentioned in passing, and there was condemnation by the Taoiseach of Nicolás Maduro's authoritarian regime in Venezuela, the irony seemingly lost on the Fianna Fáil leader given the country he was visiting.· And the Taoiseach's party colleague, Minister for Further and Higher Education James Lawless, wants to ditch the one-bed en suites as the Government looks to move towards a co-living model involving communal space for university accommodation. A bathroom of one's own is a luxury students can go without. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The Saipan film reopens old wounds for Kevin Kilbane, Seán Moncrieff can't throw away all those old electronic cables, and boycotting Doonbeg is the least we can do to oppose Donald Trump's appetite for war.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

French farmers are continuing their protests across the country this Tuesday, in a bid to raise awareness about the difficult financial situation they face and the threat posed by the EU-Mercosur trade pact. This as Italy has reportedly planned to support the deal when EU ambassadors vote on the measure on January 9. Also in this edition: automaker Hyundai showcases its new humanoid Atlas robot at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, saying the robots will be rolled out in production sites in 2028.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 217-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 27,685 on turnover of $8.7-billion N-T. The market lost ground on Thursday as renewed concerns about an artificial intelligence bubble drove Wall Street down overnight. Analysts say renewed fears over an A-I bubble triggered selling in large-cap AI-related stocks and investors seized on the lead as an excuse (藉口) to pocket recent gains. However, the Tai-Ex still recovered from its initial downturn by the end of the session and the index saw strong technical support ahead of the 27,400-point mark - which is around the 60-day moving average. Central bank leaves interest rates unchanged for 7th straight quarter The central bank has opted to leave its key interest rates unchanged after wrapping up (結束) it final quarterly policymaking meeting of this year. The market had widely anticipated the bank would leave interest rates unchanged for the seventh consecutive quarter - despite the U-S Federal Reserve cutting rates for the third straight policymaking meeting last week. The decision by the central bank means that the discount rate remains at 2-percent and that's still the highest level in 15 years. Economists have said it's currently difficult for the central bank to follow the U-S Fed's lead and cut interest rates as the local economy remains strong and inflation stable. According to government estimates, the island's economy will grow 7.37-per cent for the whole of this year, largely on the back of an increase of 8.21-per cent in the third quarter due strong global demand for artificial intelligence applications. EU Delays FTA with SAmerican Countries Amid Protests The European Commission says the European Union is delaying a massive free-trade deal with South American countries after fiery protests by farmers and last-minute opposition by France and Italy. Top EU officials had hoped to sign the EU-Mercosur in Brazil this weekend, after more than 25 years of negotiations. Instead Commission chief spokesperson Paula Pinho confirmed that the signature had been put off until January. Experts say the delay will dent the EU's negotiating credibility globally as it seeks to forge (創造) new trade ties amid commercial tensions with the U.S. and China. USTrump signs executive order that could reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order labeling (標示，標籤) marijuana a less dangerous drug. AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports Italy Monument Outside PM Office Restored Italian restorers have used laser beams to clean an ancient Roman marble column in the piazza outside the prime minister's office, removing layers of dust and grime that had covered the monument for decades. The 47-meter-tall column, built between A.D. 180 and 193, features a relief that spirals (盤旋上升) upward and recounts the battles of one of Rome's best-known emperors, Marcus Aurelius. During the column's last restoration, in the 1980s, restorers used tiny brushes to remove the dirt. The $2.3-million dollar restoration is funded by the post-pandemic European recovery fund, and includes a new system to illuminate (照亮) the column at night. Work began in April and the restoration (恢復) is expected to finish in June. That was the I.C.R.T.

The European commission will adopt a proposal to ratify the EU-Mercosur free trade agreement. The Irish government is opposed to the agreement and will not support it unless there are assurances to protect Irish farmers and food standards. The IFA said the deal could 'decimate' the Irish beef and poultry sector. Pat discusses this further with Francie Gorman the IFA President and Jack Power, Europe Correspondent for The Irish Times.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has called on France to ratify the trade agreement between the European Union and the South American trade bloc Mercosur.

Es ist eine der größten Freihandelszonen der Welt, die die EU mit den südamerikanischen Mercosur-Staaten beschlossen hat. Auf der Zielgeraden könnte das Projekt aber scheitern.

Donald Trump bringt die bisherige Weltordnung ins Wanken: Mit Territorialforderungen, Kritik an der EU und einem guten Draht zu Putin sorgt er für Unsicherheit. Auch aus europäischer Perspektive bröckeln Vertrauen und Verlässlichkeit der USA. Der Politologe Peter Birle hält die aktuelle Situation für "brandgefährlich". Im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit" spricht er sich dafür aus, unseren Blick für Partnerschaften in Lateinamerika zu schärfen.Birle ist Leiter der Forschungsabteilung des Ibero-Amerikanischen-Instituts in Berlin. Von einer strategischen Partnerschaft sei schon lange die Rede, sagt Birle im Podcast "Wirtschaft Welt & Weit", doch die gelte es mit Leben zu füllen. Luft nach oben gibt es für ihn dabei reichlich: "Wenn Europa und Lateinamerika in Zukunft eine regelbasierte internationale Ordnung wollen, müsste man sehr viel stärker ins Gespräch kommen", fordert Birle. Ein erster wichtiger Schritt wäre es, das Assoziierungsabkommen zwischen der Europäischen Union und den Mercosur-Staaten Brasilien, Argentinien, Uruguay und Paraguay zu ratifizieren.Durch den EU-Mercosur-Deal würde eine der größten Freihandelszonen der Welt mit über 700 Millionen Menschen entstehen. Mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte wurde verhandelt, dann hat die EU im Dezember 2024 den Abschluss vermeldet. Auf den ersten Blick ein Erfolg, und doch fehlen die Ratifizierungen. Dabei könnte Argentinien zum Störfaktor werden, sagt Birle. "Argentiniens Präsident Javier Milei schießt immer wieder gegen den Mercosur", erklärt Birle. Zum anderen denke Milei laut darüber nach, "im Sinne einer Anpassung an die US-Politik" aus dem Pariser Klimaabkommen auszusteigen. "Wenn Argentinien das tun sollte, dann ist der EU-Mercosur-Deal vom Tisch", so seine Warnung.Auch angesichts der aktuellen Weltlage ist für Birle eine schnelle Ratifizierung, weil Europa und ein Teil Lateinamerikas dadurch Position "für eine regelbasierte internationale Ordnung und gegen die wachsende Verunsicherung" beziehen würden.In Deutschland und auch in Europa hat man das wirtschaftliche Potenzial Lateinamerikas erkannt. Vor allem der russische Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine macht deutlich, wie wichtig Rohstoffpartnerschaften auch mit dieser Region sind. Doch diese Partnerschaft wird Birle zufolge nicht gelebt. Im Klartext heißt das, "dass man Technologietransfer zulässt, Lieferketten gemeinsam aufbaut und nicht wieder in den traditionellen Kolonialwarenhandel zurückfällt".

While natural disasters and the climate crisis dominate headlines, their psychological toll often goes unnoticed. Yet, the impact on mental well-being goes far beyond mere concern. In this episode we explore the topic with psychologist Patricia Gajdosociova and climate activist Martina Kedrova from the NGO Znepokojne Matky. Then, we discuss at the landmark EU-Mercosur trade agreement with European Parliament Vice President Martin Hojsik.

In early December, the European Union and Southern Common Market, better known as Mercosur, reached an agreement on a trade deal. This announcement represented the culmination of more than two decades of negotiations between the EU and Mercosur countries, which had progressed off and on since 1999. In this episode, Ryan C. Berg sits down with Lauri Tähtinen, a non-resident senior associate with CSIS. Together, they discuss the history of the agreement and why it has finally come to fruition, as well as some of the remaining disputes that could continue to threaten the deal. They also discuss the geopolitical implications, particularly with respect to China and the new U.S. administration, of what will be the largest free trade area in the world.

Last weekend the EU agreed a new trade deal with four Mercosur countries, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. But it still needs to be ratified by at least 15 EU countries representing 65% of the population. To look through the new parts of the deal and its history we were joined by Charles Lichfield of the Atlantic Council.
