Ties between the US and Ukraine have soured with Donald Trump calling Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy a ‘dictator' in a public war of words. Meanwhile US and Russian diplomats met in Saudi Arabia to discuss Ukraine's future without representatives from Kyiv or Europe. Should the continent be preparing for a future without the US as an ally? Bronwen Maddox is joined by historian and author Timothy Garton Ash, Georgina Wright, visiting fellow at the German Marshall Fund and Orysia Lutsevych, deputy director for Chatham House's Russia and Eurasia Programme.

Renewable energy projects require substantial front-end investment as well as complicated permitting and licensing in order to operate, but what happens when there are disputes in the sector? In 1994 the European Union signed the Energy Charter Treaty which provided for International Arbitration through the World Bank ICSID Court. However, earlier this year the EU signalled it's intent to leave the Treaty, citing its support for traditional forms of energy. Why then are nearly all of the outstanding claims in renewable energy? And what impact will leaving the Treaty have on renewable investor confidence in Europe?As an example, we will discuss the Spanish Renewable Awards. Spain has defaulted on more than 25 international arbitration awards amounting to €1.56 billion in compensation for the retroactive withdrawal of renewable premiums. This amount is further increased by over €315 million in legal and financial overcosts resulting from non-compliance with the rulings. The situation has become so bad that numerous enforcement procedures and asset seizures are in play through courts in the United Kingdom, Belgium, Australia, and the United States.The Spanish Government has been accused of taking an ideological position to refuse to settle these claims and has attempted to persuade the European Commission to retrospectively declare these awards as 'state aid'. If this is proven to be the case, what message does this give to large renewable investors about the rule of law in Europe?Join us for this important and lively discussion with renewable energy investors, senior litigators and European officials.Organised by: Aream Group SAMedia Partner: Euractiv

This once again highlights the vulnerability of critical infrastructure to cyber threats. In this episode of ITSPmagazine, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin dive into this alarming incident while at the InfoSecurity Europe event in London, engaging with a panel of esteemed professionals in the field of information security.One of the significant themes that emerged from the conversation is that cybercrime is no longer the domain of rogue teenage hackers working from their basements. As Brian Honan emphasized, cybercriminals today are often part of organized crime syndicates involved in drug trafficking, arms dealing, and human trafficking. They are driven by financial gain and are willing to go to great lengths to achieve their goals.This particular incident affected NHS pathology services, causing surgeries and blood transfusions to be canceled or postponed, directly impacting patient care. Suk Paul pointed out that this kind of attack is not isolated. Since the conflict in 2022, the UK has witnessed a rise in cyber-attacks on public infrastructure, including hospitals and universities. He stated that the human intelligence element is crucial in identifying the techniques and methods used in such attacks.The conversation also shed light on the complexity of managing third-party supply chain risk. Heather Lowrie suggested considering cybersecurity as a business enabler and not just a technical issue. She stressed the need for robust communication and collaboration between internal teams, external partners, and even at the board level to create a resilient cybersecurity posture.To this end, Tim Grieveson echoed the importance of having a security leader with excellent communication skills who can align security strategies with business outcomes. This alignment is particularly essential in critical sectors like healthcare, where the focus is on maintaining patient-centric care.Furthermore, Daniel Lattimer highlighted the challenges faced by the NHS in funding cybersecurity measures. He mentioned that while the NHS has made strides in improving its cybersecurity capabilities, there is still a dilemma of prioritizing between lifesaving patient care and investing in cybersecurity. More specific guidance and a legislative approach similar to US standards could help in achieving minimum security standards.Brian Honan described the importance of legislative measures like the EU's Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA) and the Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2), which focus on resilience in critical infrastructure. The key is not just to prevent cyber-attacks but to ensure continuity of services during and after an attack.During the discussion, a repeated point was the inevitability of cyber incidents and the need for preparation and response. Tim Grieveson stressed the necessity of identifying critical assets and vulnerabilities, communicating risks to the board, and developing a clear response plan. He pointed out that it is not just about the technical aspects but also about storytelling and helping the organization understand the real-world implications of cyber risks.The significance of cross-sector collaboration was also highlighted. Heather Lowrie noted that cyber threats are a societal challenge, not limited to individual organizations or sectors. Therefore, collective preparation and response are crucial for building resilience against cyber threats. She called for more exercises within and across sectors to prepare teams for real-world events.Lastly, the episode discussed the ethical dilemma of paying ransoms. Brian Honan strongly advocated against paying the ransom, citing the lack of guarantee that systems would be restored securely and the need to rebuild trust in affected devices. Instead, the focus should be on robust preparation and managing supply chain security. In conclusion, this episode underscored the pervasive threat of cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure and the multifaceted approach needed to tackle these challenges.From enhancing third-party risk management to legislative support, cross-sector collaboration, and ethical considerations, the conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. It highlights the urgent need for continuous improvement and resilience to protect not only systems but ultimately, patients' lives.Top Questions AddressedHow can the impact of the ransomware attack on the NHS best be described?How can organizations better manage third-party supply chain risk in cybersecurity?What are the ethical considerations and implications of paying ransom in cyberattacks?Be sure to follow our Coverage Journey and subscribe to our podcasts!____________________________Follow our InfoSecurity Europe 2024 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/infosecurity-europe-2024-infosec-london-cybersecurity-event-coverageOn YouTube:

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   In August the news broke that WorldPride 2025 was no longer going to be hosted by Taiwan.   Less than a year ago, InterPride and Taiwan had celebrated the selection of Kaohsiung Pride's bid over the Capital Pride Alliance of Washington D.C. to host WorldPride 2025 in Taiwan. The announcement about WorldPride Taiwan 2025 was hugely significant since Taiwan was the first country in Asia to legalize same sex marriage in 2019 and It would be the first ever WorldPride event to be held in East Asia.   My listeners will recall that we did an episode about this news last December with Darien Chen in episode 162.   What had happened to make Kaohsiung Pride and the Taiwan Preparation Committee decide to withdraw from hosting WorldPride Taiwan 2025?   In August I came across a tweet about the cancellation by Bi-Khim Hsiao, Taiwan's Representative to the United States. She had tweeted an article written by David Yu, Don't Sacrifice Taiwan in the Fight for LGBT Rights. The article had been published in Foreign Policy.   I reached out David and I invited him to come onto Talking Taiwan as a guest to discuss and reflect on what happened. David is Contractor CTO of an LA-based life sciences startup.   I also reached out to the Kaohsiung Pride committee, and InterPride for comment but have not received any responses to date.   This episode of Talking Taiwan has been sponsored by NATWA, the North America Taiwanese Women's Association. NATWA was founded in 1988, and its mission is: to evoke a sense of self-esteem and enhance women's dignity, to oppose gender discrimination and promote gender equality, to fully develop women's potential and encourage their participation in public affairs, to contribute to the advancement of human rights and democratic development in Taiwan, to reach out and work with women's organizations worldwide to promote peace for all. To learn more about NATWA visit their website: www.natwa.com   Here's a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   David's involvement with ITASA The article that David wrote for Foreign Policy about the cancellation of WorldPride Taiwan 2025, which was tweeted by Bi-khim Hsiao How Taiwan won the bid to host WorldPride 2025 in November of 2021 How on August 12, 2022, the WorldPride Taiwan 2025 Facebook page posted an announcement stating that they would be terminating hosting WorldPride 2025 What's been reported in the media regarding the cancellation of WorldPride Taiwan 2025 The statement posted on the WorldPride Taiwan 2025 Facebook page regarding their termination of hosting WorldPride 2025 InterPride's request that the event name be changed from WorldPride Taiwan 2025 to WorldPride Kaohsiung 2025, and the offer to use WorldPride Kaohsiung, Taiwan How InterPride's application for consultative status at the United Nations and China may have influenced to request to change the WorldPride event name Should Kaohsiung Pride and the Taiwan Preparation Committee found a way to still host WorldPride 2025 in Taiwan What is the loss of not hosting WorldPride 2025 in Taiwan LGBTQIA rights in Europe Europe's views and dealings with China How Guzzler Leong, Standing Director of Kaohsiung Pride (originally from Macau) was able to have his same sex marriage recognized in Taiwan, however his case does not change the precedent of Taiwan only recognizing transnational same sex marriages to citizens of countries where same sex marriage is legal The parallels between Taiwan's situation in the global arena and LGBTQIA rights within mainstream society How China interferes with Taiwan's representation internationally How Taiwan has to compete under the name Chinese Taipei in the Olympics David's personal experiences at sporting events where Taiwan was not accurately represented and how he handled it An inspiring quote about coming out, by Harvey Milk, a gay activist and member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors How the Gay Games 2023 is being co-hosted by Guadalajara and Hong Kong and Dennis Philipse the founder and co-organizer of Gay Games Hong Kong has resigned How to move forward from the cancellation of WorldPride Taiwan 2025   Related Links: To view all related links for this article, click link below: https://talkingtaiwan.com/what-caused-the-cancellation-of-worldpride-taiwan-2025-our-discussion-with-david-yu-ep-220/

Summary: Today, Martin and I talk government and crypto—in the face of the national debt, the US is depending on the cheapening of dollars to pay back debt that has grown exponentially in the last decade. Additionally, we face other probing questions in looking at Europe's 2030 agenda. Ending democracy and implementing shared power between nations would have many interesting implications, and we dive into some of these. We discuss IMF and the push to create a universal digital currency, which would be above all laws and change cryptocurrency as we know it. Tune in to listen as we implore possibilities in crypto for the coming years, and the interplay between debt, governing strategy, and digital currency. Highlights: -DOW - a bull market everyone loves to hate, and Marty called it -Over the years, Martin has dealt with a lot of government in the analytical field -We can't continue to borrow year after year without the intention of paying back -National debt has more than doubled within a decade; government has the intention of paying back with cheaper dollars -This is now coming to a head -The problem is not the US, but Europe -Europe went to negative interest rates in 2014 - 7 years later they are still unable to stimulate the economy -Pension funds are insolvent -Martin's solution: stop this and re-design it, but for freedom -8 points for 2030 agenda - ending democracy, US no longer a superpower, shared power between nations - one world government idea -Heat map is dark red for Europe -Many people untrained in the field are now suddenly climate activists and experts. Those who aren't necessary qualified are making these big decisions -Handing the power of the US to the UN is off the wall -Schwabb says democracy has to go - keep in mind checks and balances on human rights -European Commission that makes laws does not stand for election—neither does the head of the EU
-When we see Biden and $6 million proposals, it's because we are looking to modern monetary theory—borrowing is not feasible anymore -Government spending increasing by buying all the government bonds in Europe -"we can just print more money and it won't cause inflation” -Assets, real-estate, art, etc. retains value and are going up drastically -DOW going up dramatically and people still analyzing it with old-school methods -Where is crypto headed? -You have to be careful…there is a group above the UN (FAFT) that is concerned with money laundering and wants it to drop *know your client -Ending the idea that somehow cryptocurrency is out of the government -Pushing hard to create an IMF digital currency - all cryptocurrencies would be devolved into this new IMF coin. Why? This would replace the dollar as reserve currency -Martin: opposed to IMF because it is not an elected body, and is outside the jurisdiction of countries—they are above all law internationally. Period. -What's going on with the gold flash crash? They lost their targeted gold -They are tracking every ounce of gold—where it comes from/goes. They realize gold is an escape valve and have been trying to restrain it as much as possible -This isn't to take away inflation; this is about money and control. They don't want any competition—it's about power -Half the world is acquiring gold at the same time, which might be problematic -Communism failed because it didn't have the entire world -The reset scam will fail—the only way they could pull it off is if they could get Russia and China involved -Three Gorges Dam and Chinese flooding—if the dam goes, much of the Chinese economy goes with it -The climate change argument is serious because the UN is using this to promote the one government idea - climate change must be fought by a unified government -We still have regional/cultural differences -History repeats itself -Miami becoming financial capital of US—what is going to happen to New York? -People can't be evicted; land lord can't collect rent -Will all private housing become government housing? This would essentially make New York a ghetto -This system doesn't function this way—it only would be able to do so by the communist regime Useful Links: Armstrong Economics

Depuis le Moyen ge, les ravages provoqués par les épidémies dites « importées » ont conduit à la mise en place de quarantaines partout en Europe. Ces dispositifs préventifs, qui consistent à retenir personnes et marchandises suspectées d'être contaminées, a cependant été appliqué de manière inégale selon les régions. Au xixe siècle, la réduction des quarantaines dans de nombreux pays européens s'explique notamment par un contrôle renforcé autour de la Méditerranée.

Les marées noires font partie des catastrophes industrielles les plus spectaculaires et aux conséquences environnementales et économiques les plus visibles et directes. Au travers de trois marées noires majeures qui ont touché la Bretagne – celles du Torrey Canyon (1967), de l’Amoco Cadiz (1978) et de l’Erika (1999) – est souligné ici que, outre la pollution qu’elles génèrent, elles provoquent aussi des traumatismes et des conséquences normatives importantes. Elles jouent dès lors un rôle crucial dans l’histoire de l’écologie. Capsule réalisée par Isabelle Matamoros à partir de la notice EHNE Les marées noires de Tudi Kernalegenn.

Les publicités lumineuses apparaissent au tournant du XXème siècle. Constituées de lampes à incandescence puis de tubes luminescents au néon, leur émergence s’effectue au rythme de circulations transatlantiques. Après le blackout de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, toutes les villes ne connaissent pas la même renaissance de ces lumières commerciales. La méfiance ancienne des pouvoirs publics s’accroît au moment des chocs pétroliers et cette remise en question est encore largement perceptible aujourd’hui, donnant à la ville européenne un visage publicitaire singulier.

Welcome to The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast. I'm your host Forrest Kelly from the seed to the glass. Wine has a past. Our aim at The Best 5 Minute Wine Podcast is to look for adventure at wineries around the globe. After all grape minds think alike. Let's start the adventure. We are speaking with Todd White, founder, and CEO of https://www.dryfarmwines.com/ (Dry Farm Wines). So having strict guidelines for your wine, how did you come up with the wineries? How did you select them? Because you just can't go to Google and find these wineries. In the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_wine (natural wine business). There are very specific subsections of the wine industry. It's tiny, very, very small. And so everybody basically knows everyone else. There are https://www.natural-wines.com/004_salons/004_accueil-salon-vin-nature.php (natural wine fairs), about 50 of them. There are three in the United States, but there is about 50 across Europe. And so we attend all of these https://www.natural-wines.com/004_salons/004_accueil-salon-vin-nature.php (natural wine fairs). We're not right now, but historically we have. Now, today, we're the largest buyer and seller of natural wines in the world by multiple of probably 25 X, maybe more than that. So we're internationally known, you know, as a buyer. Now, in the beginning, when I started the company, there were probably about 40 natural wine importers in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States (United States), meaning that all they sell are natural wine. Like in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_(wine) (San Francisco). There are two natural wine bars I'm sorry, three now. They're just activists. Right. Like, you just wouldn't have a non-natural wine in there. It's just not it's a it's a revolution. There are three, arguably only https://sf.eater.com/maps/natural-wine-sf-where-to-find-drink-bay-area-bars-restaurants (three natural wine retailers in San Francisco). Right. And they're very small stores. So in the beginning, you know, I started reaching out to natural wine importers. I discovered this importer in Paris and American his name's https://www.pariswinecompany.com/about (Josh Adler), who used to live in San Francisco and he moved to Paris and he started a national wine importing company into the United States. And he was the first one that discovered he owns a company called https://www.pariswinecompany.com/ (Paris Wine Company). We're probably his largest customer today, I would imagine. But we do a lot of business with them. But in the beginning, I contacted him to learn about sort of the natural wine world. I began to uncover and discover people and get referred to other importers who specialize in natural wines. Now, today, we're the largest importer of natural wines in the world. So we still work with about 80 importers today. But we also import directly our own wines. And we do that. We have normally this time of year, we would have four to six people on the ground spread across https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe (Europe) right now, buying wines that normally we would spend the first six months of the year in Europe buying wines. So you've got the sourcing figured out. So now comes the part on what to present to the customer, right? Well, we don't sell wine by the bottle. We do custom curation for people. So. So every single box that our member gets is different and has different wines. And oh, no, we have wines that are requested. We also do customer fulfillment and specialize in fulfillment. And if somebody loves the bottle, they'll, you know, write to us and want to potentially buy more or something similar to it. You know, Pinot Noir is probably our number one requested grape. But the interesting thing about us is because we deal with these small family farms and ancestral grape varietals around the world.

Show #784   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Wednesday 20th May 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too.   AUDI E-TRON S POSSIBLY SPIED TESTING AT THE NURBURGRING "A new spy video shot at the Nürburgring shows what may very well be the E-Tron electric SUV in the hotter specification.  While we can’t be entirely sure this is indeed the high-performance version, this would make the most sense since it’s too early for Audi’s Mercedes EQC-rival to start preparing for a mid-cycle update." says Quattrodaily: "Of course, the biggest change has occurred underneath the familiar skin where Audi has added a third electric motor. Mounted at the back, it helps the E-Tron S models hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in four and a half seconds."   2021 AUDI E-TRON GT SPIED AT PORSCHE'S DEVELOPMENT CENTRE "You won’t need a crystal ball to figure out what the swirly camouflage is hiding since the E-Tron GT production model will remain faithful to the concept before it. Audi will be making some changes for the road-going car as the prototypes have conventional door handles and larger side mirrors. The front fascia might eschew the concept’s intricate grille design for something less flashy, but that’s about it." says Motor1.com: "Technical specifications should be quite similar to those of the Taycan, but we’re expecting Ingolstadt’s electric sedan to be a tad cheaper and possibly start at under $100,000. It remains to be seen whether Audi will follow Porsche’s approach by prioritizing the high-end versions before coming out with the lesser models. An official premiere is scheduled to take place towards the end of the year ahead and customer deliveries should commence early 2021. It will compete not just with its sister model from Stuttgart, but also the next-generation Jaguar XJ and the first-ever Mercedes EQS, not to mention the Tesla Model S."   https://www.motor1.com/photo/4998524/2021-audi-e-tron-gt-spy-photo/   LIGHTYEAR INKS DEAL FOR PRODUCTION OF LONG-RANGE EV'S SOLAR ROOF "Dutch startup Lightyear has secured a supplier for its long-range electric car's solar roof. Royal DSM will partner with Lightyear to scale up production of the roof system. The two companies will also look into solar-roof applications for other cars, as well as vans and buses, Lightyear said in a press release" according to Green Car Reports: "The roof consists of 53 square feet of solar cells protected by double-curved safety glass. Royal DSM will supply a back sheet that moves electrical connections behind the cells, freeing up more space for capturing sunlight. This will also reduce electrical losses, leading to a 3% gain in power output over other designs, the company claims. Lightyear was founded by members of a winning World Solar Challenge team, with the goal of applying solar technology to production electric cars. The Lightyear One electric car is aiming for 450 miles of range on the European WLTP cycle (which tends to be more optimistic than the U.S. EPA testing cycle). While the car does have a battery pack, as well as aerodynamic bodywork, it is designed to rely heavily on the solar roof to achieve that range."   https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1128169_lightyear-inks-deal-for-production-of-long-range-ev-s-solar-roof   MUSK ANNOUNCES TESLA'S FULL SELF-DRIVING WILL COST $1000 MORE IN JULY "Tesla is raising the price of its "self-driving" option on its electric vehicles worldwide starting with a $1,000 (£820) hike. Founder Elon Musk tweeted that the price "will continue to rise" as its technology improves." according to BBC News: "The self-driving add-on will cost $8,000 when the price rise kicks in on 1 July."   Elon tweeted: ""The FSD price will continue to rise as the software gets closer to full self-driving capability with regulatory approval," Mr Musk said in a series of tweets on Monday. "[At] that point, the value of FSD is probably somewhere in excess of $100,000.""   https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-52703767   PAST PEAK OIL? INDUSTRY HIT BY WEAK DEMAND FINALLY FACES THREAT FROM ELECTRIC CARS "Oil companies may be facing uncertainty as the coronavirus pandemic triggers a collapse in demand for their products, but automakers are betting the crisis will help accelerate an electric future. With economies reeling from lockdowns to curb the virus, the sharpest plunge in oil prices in two decades has slashed the cost of filling up a tank of gas, eroding some of the incentive to make the switch to cleaner fuels."  writes Autoblog: "Looking ahead, cuts in capital spending forced upon energy companies as their revenues crumble could tighten supply enough to cause a spike in oil prices, making electric vehicles more attractive just as automakers ramp up production, analysts say.With fuel for road transport accounting for about half of all oil demand, the possibility of a faster-than-expected switch to EVs in the wake of the pandemic is one of the main reasons some forecasts for a peak have been brought forward. Global oil demand hit a record of just over 100 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2019."   https://www.autoblog.com/2020/05/19/peak-oil-demand-wanes-electric-vehicles-rise/   RENAULT-NISSAN-MITSUBISHI TO UNVEIL STRATEGIC PLAN "Automakers Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi may unveil next week a new strategic plan to boost synergies and repair their troubled alliance as the coronavirus pandemic lashes the industry." according to the Economic Times. While Automotive NEws thinks that Nissan could be slowly backing out of Europe: "Europe accounts for only about one-tenth of Nissan's global business by volume and has "little prospects for growth and profitability," as one insider put it. Under the new working relationship with Renault, Nissan would take the lead in Europe on crossovers and SUVs, which the sources said would be available in gasoline engine, hybrid and full-electric versions. It would operate as a "follower" in commercial vans and small city cars, using versions of vehicles produced by Renault. The arrangement would allow the two partners to share technologies and manufacturing capacity, while keeping advanced technology and product development separate from each other to "keep our design, engineering and brands distinctive from each other," one of the sources said. However, the company is keen to maintain a presence in the region, albeit a reduced one."   https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/nissans-survival-plan-europe-suvs-and-sharing-renault   NEW STANDARDS RELEASED FOR ELECTRIC CAR BATTERIES "China released mandatory safety regulations related to electric vehicles, batteries and electric buses on Tuesday, which analysts say will help improve the industry's manufacturing standards and relieve customer safety concerns." reports China Daily: "They emphasize the electrical safety and functional safety requirements and increase the requirements for thermal event alarm signaling in battery systems, which should provide drivers and passengers with adequate safety warnings. The standards also put higher requirements on battery safety, and emphasize an improvement in battery system tests covering thermal diffusion, external fire, mechanical shock, simulated collision and humidity cycling, external short circuit, and overheating. It specifies batteries must be able to withstand at least five minutes of overheating without causing a fire or explosion, allowing drivers and passengers sufficient time to get out of the vehicle."   https://global.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202005/18/WS5ec1e22aa310a8b241156558.html   UK’S FIRST CAR BATTERY ‘GIGAFACTORY’ TO BE BUILT BY TWO STARTUPS "Two British startups have announced plans to invest as much as £4bn in building the UK’s first large-scale battery factory, in a move that could prove a major boost to the country’s struggling car industry." writes The Guardian today: "AMTE Power and Britishvolt have signed a memorandum of understanding saying they will work together on plans for a plant to make lithium ion batteries.  Lars Carlstrom, the chief executive of Britishvolt, said the companies had an ambition to build facilities producing batteries with capacity of as much as 30 gigawatt hours (GWh) a year, which would be roughly equivalent to the joint Tesla-Panasonic Gigafactory in Nevada. A factory of that size would create as many as 4,000 jobs, he said. The government-backed Faraday Institution estimates 130 GWh of annual capacity will be required by 2040 if the UK is to retain a large automotive sector."   https://www.theguardian.com/business/2020/may/20/uk-first-car-battery-gigafactory-amte-power-britishvolt?CMP=share_btn_tw   XPENG'S P7 LIGHTS UP THE NIGHT WITH A SYNCHRONIZED MUSIC & LIGHT SHOW "Xpeng Motors has already begun taking orders for their highly anticipated long-range sports sedan, the P7. With customer deliveries set to begin in June, Xpeng is showing off a special feature that the P7 will have; a synchronized light and music show." writers TOm Moloughney for InsideEVs: "The P7 has a strip of LED lights that extend across the entire front of the vehicle. Using those LEDs, as well as the lower driving lights, the vehicle performs a virtual "dance", similar to the Tesla Model X's light show. Initially, when P7 deliveries begin next month, the vehicle will come with a couple of simple lighting modes. However, Xpeng is going to use OTA updates to add more complex songs and light shows for the owners to select from"   https://insideevs.com/news/423962/xpeng-p7-programmable-light-show/   QUESTION OF THE WEEK   Should Dyson have continued to make a £150,000 EV, or should we only make EVs realistic?

Sans le discours du 9 mai 1950, nous n’aurions peut-être pas l’Union européenne d’aujourd’hui. Nous le devons à un Mosellan, né à Luxembourg et qui a subi les conséquences de deux guerres mondiales, Robert Schuman. En lançant avec l’aide Jean Monnet et de Konrad Adenauer la Communauté européenne du charbon et de l’acier, la CECA, il permettait le lancement de la construction européenne. Invités de ce podcast : • Sylvain Schirmann, historien, ancien directeur de l’Institut des études politiques de Strasbourg et président du comité scientifique de la Maison de Robert Schuman à Scy-Cazelles (Moselle) • Jean-Dominique Giuliani qui préside la Fondation Schuman Bonne écoute.

En dehors de quelques climatosceptiques, toute la classe politique s’accorde à dire que la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique est l’un des grands enjeux pour la planète des prochaines années. Ouest-France a interrogé dans le cadre de l’émission « Mon Parlement à moi » deux eurodéputés, l’une allemande et l’autre français, pour les interroger sur la place de l’écologie dans les futurs débats du Parlement européen. Après les élections européennes, quelle place pour l’écologie dans le débat politique ? C’est la question posée dans le cadre du podcast « Mon Parlement à moi » à deux eurodéputés dans une émission enregistrée cette semaine, Anna Deparnay-Grunenberg (Verts, Allemande) et Pascal Durand (Renew Europe - LREM, Français). Lors du dernier G20 à Osaka (Japon), 19 pays ont redit leur soutien au grand accord de lutte contre le réchauffement climatique signé en 2015 à Paris, et dont les États-Unis s’en sont retirés en 2017. En Allemagne, les écologistes sont arrivés en deuxième place aux élections européennes, devant les sociaux-démocrates du SPD. De quoi se rêver en porte-étendard de la gauche outre-Rhin ? Les Verts « ne se posent pas ce genre de questions », assurent l’eurodéputée Anna Deparnay-Grunenberg. Elle se place plutôt sur la question « de modifier le système pour freiner le changement climatique ». « J’aurais bien aimé être Allemand de ce point de vue », réagit Pascal Durand, passé à La République en marche au moment des européennes de 2019, « et que les Verts français ait eu la même logique ». Mais ceci est dû selon lui au fait que l’Allemagne possède un système électoral avec le scrutin proportionnel qui permet à chaque parti de défendre ses propres dynamiques. « Le scrutin majoritaire a bloqué la capacité des Verts en France a proposé une politique autonome », estime-t-il. Ce système électoral oblige l’écologie à être un peu partout, « mais tout le monde n’est pas devenu écolo », pointe-t-il. Au Parlement européen, les députés écologistes pourraient jouer un rôle pour faire partie d’une grande majorité ou lors d’un vote décisif. « On n’a pas de majorité les uns sans les autres. Il faut réussir à trouver les transitions qui sont essentielles, mais qui créent encore des résistances, et à créer des dynamiques qui vont faire que l’Europe reste un espace équilibré entre les questions sociales, environnementales et économiques », estime Pascal Durand. Mais les dirigeants nationaux n’ont pas réussi le 20 juin dernier à trouver d’accord par exemple pour inscrire la date de 2050 comme celle d’une Union européenne neutre en émissions de carbone, une poignée d’États d’Europe de l’Est, grands consommateurs d’énergie fossile, n’ayant pas voulu s’engager sans garanties concrètes de pouvoir financer leur transition énergétique. Le Premier ministre de la Pologne a ainsi expliqué qu’il avait refusé de signer l’accord car cela aurait été contraire aux intérêts des entreprises polonaises. « La Pologne aussi partage cette terre avec nous », remarque Anna Deparnay-Grunenberg. « Protéger son industrie peut être un réflexe, mais il faut voir au-delà. Ceux qui n’arrivent pas à se transformer dans le monde nouveau vont perdre par la suite », estime-t-elle. Crédit Musique: Version hip-hop de l'hymne européen par Florian Müller

To forestall such an unpleasant situation, Trump and Co. have decided to 'reset the clock' on the way the US does business in the world and how it runs its empire. The first order of business is kicking Europe and any other 'lackeys' to the kerb, cutting them off from the 'favorable' trade deals they have enjoyed...
