Le Groenland a rendez-vous avec sa population, le 11 mars 2025, dans le cadre d'élections générales anticipées afin de remanier le Parlement du pays, à un moment où les relations avec le Danemark, l'Europe et Washington se trouvent à un point critique. La nation inuite est sous haute surveillance depuis que le président américain Donald Trump a renouvelé ses revendications sur l'île arctique, refusant d'exclure le recours à la force militaire pour s'en emparer. Pays semi-autonome dépendant du Danemark politiquement et financièrement, le Groenland reçoit de Copenhague une subvention globale de 500 millions d'euros par an. La question de l'indépendance totale est un sujet de débat. Des sondages récents ont montré que si la grande majorité des Groenlandais sont favorables à l'indépendance, peu d'entre eux sont prêts à compromettre leur niveau de vie pour y parvenir. Quatre fois plus grande que la France, l'île arctique est un enjeu géopolitique pour les États-Unis. Et fait l'objet de convoitises également de la part de la Chine et de la Russie. Avec plus de deux millions de kilomètres carrés, situé au nord-est du Canada dont il est séparé par 26 kms de détroit de Davis, le Groenland et ses 56.000 habitants sont positionnés géographiquement en Amérique du Nord, mais font partie de la sphère économique et juridique de l'Europe en raison de leur appartenance au Danemark, État membre de l'Union européenne. Regard sur ce territoire trop méconnu des grandes nations européennes.Invités :  Damien Degeorges, consultant basé à Reykjavik en Islande et docteur en Sciences Politiques, spécialiste du Groenland. Auteur de « Terres rares : enjeu géopolitique du XXIè siècle », Éd.

Episodio especial con Iberia para conocer los cuatro grandes destinos a los que la aerolínea nos acerca este invierno con sus nuevas rutas.

December 2024 On the 12th of November 1944 Germany's largest battleship – Tirpitz – was sunk by British RAF Lancaster bombers off Tromso in Norway. Ever since its deployment to the region back in January 1942, the battleship had posed a threat to Arctic convoy operations. A large part of the Royal Navy's Home Fleet as well as US vessels were tied up protecting convoys from this ship that Winston Churchill christened ‘The Beast'. Despite Tirpitz having never fired its guns in anger at Allied warships, its presence was threat enough. Intelligence experts continued the difficult work of tracking its location and state of readiness. The analysts of Bletchley Park's Naval Section followed the ship for nearly three years, and played a key part in her final destruction. In this ‘It Happened Here' episode, we are joined by Dr David Kenyon, Bletchley Park's Research Historian and author of ‘Arctic Convoys: Bletchley Park and the War for the Seas'. Many thanks to Dr Ben Thomson for voicing our archival documents. Image: Australian War Memorial (Public Domain) Accession Number SUK11808 #BPark, #Bletchleypark, #WW2, #Enigma, #Tirpitz,

Los españoles incrementarán un 30% su gasto en compras online esta Navidad, alcanzando un promedio de 213 euros, según el 'Informe de Navidad 2024' de Webloyalty. Un 15% de este gasto corresponderá a reservas de viajes. Londres, Ámsterdam y París se posicionan como los destinos más demandados para viajar durante este próximo puente de diciembre, según datos de la agencia de viajes online eDreams que asegura que otras ciudades europeas reconocidas por su encanto navideño como Zurich y Munich también presentan importantes incrementos en reservas respecto al año pasado. Lanzarote liderará el debate sobre turismo regenerativo con el evento internacional RegenERA Lanzarote, que se celebrará del 10 al 19 de diciembre en formato híbrido y gratuito. Organizado por BeForGet junto al Cabildo de Lanzarote e Impact Hub, el encuentro abordará desafíos como la sostenibilidad, la agroalimentación y la cultura, buscando soluciones para un desarrollo territorial más sostenible. Iberia ha lanzado nuevos vuelos a cuatro de los destinos más demandados durante el invierno: Innsbruck y Salzburgo en Austria, Tromso en Noruega, y Rovaniemi en Laponia. La aerolínea ha habilitado casi 50.000 asientos disponibles hasta marzo de 2025. Grand Azulmarino prevé abrir cuatro boutiques más de cara a 2025, dos en Barcelona, una en Madrid y otra en Santander, por lo que sumará un total de 23 puntos de venta en España. Reclamio ha avisado que las reclamaciones de los pasajeros a las aerolíneas por haber pagado por la maleta y el asiento tendrán "poco recorrido": "El proceso para recuperar su dinero puede ser largo y no está garantizado que obtengan el reembolso". Las vacaciones multigeneracionales están ganando popularidad entre las familias españolas, según un reciente estudio de Royal Caribbean que destaca la creciente preferencia de los niños por viajar con toda la familia, incluidos sus abuelos. España recibió 82,9 millones de turistas hasta octubre, lo que supone un 10,8% más que los registrados en el mismo periodo del año anterior, según datos del Instituto Nacional Estadístico (INE). Estos visitantes generaron un gasto total de 110.984 millones de euros, un 16,8% más, con un gasto medio por turista de 1.327 euros, lo que representa un incremento del 5,5% anual.

Today we are taking a very special trip into the heart of Norwegian Fjordland. And when I say the heart, I don't just mean the heart of the land. Because today we're chatting with two locals who are so enthusiastic about welcoming you to their homeland, that you can't help but feel the love.  My friend Steinar Soerli is the fifth-generation owner of the wildly luxurious Amot in Western Norway, and we are joined by Kesia Yansen, the General Manager of the property. We'll hear their stories about the transformation of this homestead into a luxury destination, explore the breathtaking fjords of the region, and learn more about the local community and homegrown cuisine.  Get ready to be captivated by Norwegian hospitality as we discover the magic of the destination on this episode of Luxury Travel Insider!   Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn  

Episode #28 - with Krister Kopala Don't be fooled by the babyface smile, Krister Kopola is an assassin! Ok so no he's not an actual assassin, like shooting people and stuff, but Krister is reshaping the boundaries of what's possible on a splitboard. He's constantly pushing himself (both physically and mentally), and his equipment, yet he's doing it all with a smile on his face, wider than most of the couloirs (often first descents) he's taking at breakneck speed in his home mountains outside of Tromso. The Backdrop Crew had the pleasure of spending a couple of days chilling and riding with Krister, at the excellent Arctic Splitboard Festival, a joint venture of Up Guides and Krister. The first thing you notice about Krister is his size, he's big, and I mean he's very tall. If you put an axe in his hand, dressed him elk skin, and put a horned helmet on his head he'd scare the shit out of anyone. But his welcoming laugh, easy going nature, and genuine interest in what you're up to soon put you at ease. He doesn't take himself too seriously and is always joking, but scratch a little deeper and you find a unashamedly vulnerable man. There's a confidence in his abilities, humbled by a great respect for the mountains. For every seemingly crazy instagram line he's posted there has been multiple cancelled attempts, knowing when to back off is possibly his greatest skill, that's not to say he hasn't had close shaves, but they've not been simply shrugged off, they've been dug into obsessively, so as to understand and most importantly to learn from. Krister will be at this seasons Arctic Splitfest, just outside of Alta on the 3-6th April inclusive. There will be workshops, kit tryouts, tours with Krister, yoga, films, and great food/company, we had a real blast last season.

Anna Dudzińska podróżuje do Lakselvbukt, położonego 70 kilometrów od Tromso, by spotkać się z Katarzyną – Polką, która zafascynowana saamską kulturą, od lat uczy Saamów ich własnego języka. To właśnie ona i jej rodzina stają się przepustką do świata tych, którzy przez dziesiątki lat doświadczali dyskryminacji ze strony Norwegów i Szwedów, choć na Północy pojawili się jako pierwsi. Jak Saamowie postrzegają północność, naturę, gościnność i własną, niemal utraconą tożsamość? Córki Katarzyny i jej znajomi, m.in. saamska literaturoznawczyni Lil Tove, opowiadają o utracie języka, wstydzie i niepewności co do tego, kim są. Przestrzenią do rozmów staje się nie tylko odosobniony dom Kasi, ale też farma owiec.  „Saamowie.

A Norway Trip Report...on today's Milenomics² Podcast 01:00 Scope: 2 weeks in Norway. Oslo, Tromso, Lofoten then back to Oslo for a few days. Wanted to get away from people. Love the coast, and Norway has a LOT of coastline Spent most of our time in the arctic Circle (but not considered the arctic) Map: 10:12 Outbound: Air France. LAX-CDG Plus a 4hr layover. Flight was smooth and the daytime departure was nice Got to experience the new LAX Air France lounge. Open 3 weeks ago. New is always better. 4hrs in CDG was perfect with kids. Got through immigration, train to the 2F terminal, settled into a lounge, everyone showered and then about 45 minutes later we were off to the gate Kids meal was pre-ordered and was great. CDG-OSL very basic, service by Amelia (by Air France) 20:10 Getting to Oslo from the airport Fly to vs Vy. Trains run every 10-20 minutes. Travel time is less than 30 minutes. Flytoget calls itself the 'fastest' airport train. This might be true, but only by a minute or two. Vy is a few minutes slower. Faster than driving even. Flytoget has Kids free vs VY so the prices start to converge when you take this into consideration approx $12 - 24 per person one way. Taxi was about $125. We had 4 of these one ways to do so we needed to get good at them. Vy app is not as good as the Ruter app for buying tickets with US credit cards. Stick to the Ruter app. Ruter and VY app cannot buy flytoget tickets, so Ruter + Flytoget app are the ideal combo. Tickets can also easily be bought at the ticket machines. 25:20 Clarion hotel the hub (a strawberry hotel) Location is great, just off Oslo central station 810(!) rooms. Norway's Largest hotel. Did not feel this big. Booked family size room for 16000 points With a Strata Premier this is 8000 TYP transferred to Choice. Included a pull out sofa which was already set up for us. Includes full buffet breakfast with omelette and crepe station. Nice, newish hotel. Certainly a great way to spend TYP and appreciate they book family rooms. Came back and worked to get connecting rooms. Seemed willing to even give some partial extra credit for the family room vs. 2 regular rooms. 30:58 Oslo: World city, really a great feel to the city, full of energy, parks and fantastic amounts of museums. 20+ Hours of daylight. People outdoors and a city that is alive. Paris and Prague feels. But English is a first or second language in most signs and interaction. Summer in Norway is Wildflower season. The landscaping in the cities is beautiful. Be Aware of your surroundings at night. There were some sketchy areas we stumbled into. Nothing too rough but still, be aware. Food was easy to find and diverse Interesting food halls: Oslo Street Food or Barcode Street Food Most world cuisine was easy to find and well done. Getting around is so easy. There are very few people driving cars. Taxis only really. Malls. So many malls. Beautiful they way they preserved the facade of the building and then you walk in and find a 3 story mall. NeoTokyo Store was stocked with Japanese toys/foods/snacks. Normal Store was a favorite of my two kids for candy/gum/interesting small dollar shopping for them. Gets rural quickly, leave city center and you're in the forest. Everything I saw ahead of visiting said to get out of Oslo -- I really, really enjoyed Oslo, and wish we spent more time there. SO much to explore. 35:24 Food in Norway Solid! Nothing like I was expecting Even in Tromso easy to find good options: Sushi, Thai, Fish & Chips, kid friendly food everywhere. Lofoten: had some meals out, touristy but to be expected. Our budget flex was that we had an airbnb in Tromso/Lofoten with a kitchen. Instead you could opt for prepared foods from the grocery. Reindeer: not bad. My 9 year old ordered it twice. Fruits and veggies are plentiful and easy to find in stores. Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry season. Fantastic berries that were easy to find. Had one meal that was Norwegian. It was 'ok.' Watermelon, passion fruit, grapes, nectarines, mangoes etc. 45:36 Travel to Tromso and Lofoten 1 quick 2hr flight on Norwegian Fine. Much better than southwest. Included 4 checked bags and overhead access. Incoming plane had everyone deplane and then boarded us and took off all in less than 35 minutes Pretty views from the plane on the right side as we approached Tromso. Tromso rental car: Hertz Months out cars were expensive. One way rentals to Lofoten were nearly $2000. Originally booked an Alamo rate about $700 for a week. Anything less than 7 days was over $1200. Was told this would be an automated kiosk. That's likely old info. All rental companies at the airport had full manned areas. Rented a VW ID.4 ev. Got a VW ID.4 $524 for a week. Tolls, ferries and parking meant a $300 pre-authorization. Ended up using about $80 in tolls with 1000 miles driven. Tolls are once per hour, regardless of how many you go through. Most tolls were under $2. Returned it late and nearly empty. I didn't want to bother charging it. Was quoted about $25 plus the cost of electricity if I returned it under “around 70%”. I decided to leave it as empty as possible and skip a charging stop on the return since I'm paying for the convenience. Tours: get your guide+ capital one shopping Commodity tours are a great use of capital one. Click through and don't buy, a few days later a good offer comes to email. Clicked through a common tour operator and didn't end up paying for the tour. Used some chase UR Received a 38.5% cash back offer from Capital One shopping Which….just worked! Took two tours down from 100 or so per person to 63 or so per person 51:29 Tromso: where to stay? The city is….well, a city. Has a few strawberry hotels and a Radisson Blu Parking is about $4/hr in the main tourists area. I don't know if any hotel has parking. You could certainly get around on public transit (hard with kids) even to far flung parts of the area. But being away from the city is quick and easy. 15 minutes puts you in an incredibly rural beautiful environment. If I had it to do over I'd stay on the island of Kvaløya near Esterboten or Sommory. You're close to Tromso but with incredible views: The best grocery store seemed to be the Eurospar on E862 No other store matched it for fresh fruits and veggies. Grocery prices are reasonable, stores are stocked with plenty of great fresh options and even some ethnic staples. Beer and Wine are expensive and wine is only sold at Vinmonopolat stores. 56:52 Low-ish season in Tromso / Lofoten Busy time is apparently northern lights and early spring for winter sports I thought summer in Tromso was fantastic Negatives, whale season is not summer. Did see some porpoise. Tours were 10-25% full. Small enough that you got to know the group. Slow pace in Northern Norway. Very Slow. 9-10 max 1:00:11 Tromso to Lofoten islands. This was the ultimate “what's the best way to get there” test Flying might have worked. Except cars were extremely pricey at Svolvaer, and the closet airport had a tiny runway. There are no direct flights from Tromso to Svolvaer. At some level it meant a full day of travel either by car or air. So we road tripped it. There are high speed Ferries that don't take cars, and drop you in Harstad (still not where we wanted to be). There are options that involve busses. But again with mobility issues (little kids) I wanted a car. Option 1: over land. 6hrs or so. About 500km. no views, and locals say not worth doing. Option 2: two ferries plus about 300km of driving. 8hrs. Option 3: Hurtigruten. Maybe 14 hrs but nearly direct. Not every day. Must prebook. Weird hours. If you're going to book this book it on the Norwegian language site (and maybe with a VPN) for the lowest pricing. Needed to decide which to do, booked nothing ahead of time. Originally decided on the south, direct drive. Was swayed by locals to take the ferries. Big mistake. Senja was a really beautiful place. Pivoted and made it work, thanks to my wife's quick Google searching and reassuring calming down. Just drive straight. Roads are easy and we did the return in just about 6hrs with a short break in the middle. I think a more standard trip is flying to Lofoten from either Oslo, Bergen or Bodo. Adding in Lofoten pushed the complexity up. I'm very glad we went to Lofoten I loved it, impossible to describe. My Final Route looked like this: 1:18:34 Ferries. Interesting for People, Terrible for Cars Cars line up early, fit very few cars. Tour Busses get to cut the line. Arrived about 50 minutes early and was #12 in line. For the second ferry in Gryllfjord I was an hour+ early and #65-70 in line (!) Scan license place and auto charge. People without a car are free EV pays half price Seems like a service to connect islands with last mile service, not as a method of reliable car transport Not worth doing. Long waits, no way to pre-book and no guarantee you can get on these ferries. 1:20:44 Lofoten: Need to get beyond Svolvaer for the best of the islands. Svolvaer is any other fishing village. Past Svolvaer is unlike anywhere I've ever been. Islands as far as the eye can see, some of the best driving I've ever done Harrowing roads in some places where you need to pass a bus or truck and there isn't enough room Peace and quiet. Weather was unusually warm. Anyone can take a good picture in Lofoten. Surprising numbers of beaches and swimmable areas. Tours: Oslo: brunch on the fjord, nice but nothing overly impressive about the brunch. Fram Museum (Fantastic, captivated my two kids for 90+ minutes) Tromso: fjord boat tour, arctic fishing. Incredible with the weather we had. Husky cafe tour and training Floating sauna and swim Lofoten: silent trollfjord tour, beaches Henningsvær, Lofoten: Extremely touristy. 1:33:20 Return to Oslo and Return home. By now we're pros getting to/from Oslo Airport Back to the hotel for connecting rooms....that were not ready for us Let it go a day, fixed it the next day. 3 days in Olso: Shopping, city exploration, parks and playgrounds for the kids. Could have spent more time and seen even more museums. Return home on Air France, overnight in Paris. It all just worked. 1:45:15 Overall impressions Such a laid back country. Almost too laid back (ferry story). Food was not an issue at all. A huge misconception is that the food here is not accessible. Cigarette smoking is everywhere unfortunately. Alcohol laws are not in line with the rest of Europe and can be pricey. Sunday is a big deal. Almost all stores close. Joker groceries are open Sunday. Tourist towns like Tromso are….touristy but people also live there. Fun to visit the malls and see their daily lives. Talking to people led us to some of the best surprises of the trip. Nice to be in a country where we could communicate easily. Midnight sun was more of a feature than a bug. We packed our days often going 8am to 10pm Driving 1000+miles was a mix of very easy and white knuckling. Speed limits make no sense. Lots of Amalfi style 1.5 lane roads in Senja and the Lofoten Islands.

*) Palestinian Red Crescent exits Gaza due to heavy Israeli bombing The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has said it evacuated its temporary headquarters in southern Gaza because of Israeli attacks. The PRCS has said that it fully evacuated its temporary administrative headquarters in the Khan Younis area due to shrapnel falling on the building and direct shelling, which posed a danger to the staff working inside. *) Families of Israeli hostages don't want Netanyahu to sabotage swap deal The families of Israeli hostages have urged the country's security establishment not to allow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to sabotage the swap deal with Palestinian groups. During a press conference, the hostages' families also appealed to their country's leadership to agree to a ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of all Israeli hostages. "Netanyahu's insistence on prolonging the war stands between us and our loved ones,” they emphasised. *) Suicide bombings target Nigeria, killing and wounding dozens At least 18 people were killed and 30 others injured after a series of attacks by suspected female suicide bombers in Nigeria's northeastern Borno state. Authorities have said that suspected suicide bombers attacked a wedding, funeral and hospital, killing and injuring several people in the town of Gwoza. The toll included children, adults and pregnant women. *) Video shows US police shooting teenager, sparks outrage A video released late on Saturday shows an officer in upstate New York fatally shooting a 13-year-old boy who had been tackled to the ground after he ran from police and pointed a replica handgun at them. The teen was killed in Utica after officers in the city about 400 kilometres northwest of Manhattan stopped two youths a little for an unspecified “police investigation,” Utica Police Chief has said. The victim was identified as Nyah Mway, a refugee born in Myanmar and a member of the Karen ethnic minority *) Turkish scientist team starts Arctic mission to explore climate impact Türkiye's Fourth National Arctic Scientific Research Expedition has arrived in Tromso, Norway to start the expedition at 71 degrees north latitude. The team was organised under the Turkish Presidency, Ministry of Industry and Technology and with the coordination of TUBITAK MAM Polar Research Institute. Scientists will investigate the causes and effects of global climate change in areas where rapid results have been observed in the polar regions, with assessments and sampling, notably in the marine area.

En samtale med Lars Haukeland om Tromsø, om byens røtter og historie, om porten til ishavet, og det urbane livet som vokste frem i gatene der. Vi snakker om byen mellom sjeteene, om ekspedisjoner, handel og industri, om dagens byutvikling, turisme, hotell og bolig, og om hvor veien kanskje går videre for Tromsø. Lars er arkitekt, og grunnla LPO arkitekter i 1982, sammen med Pål Henry Engh, og Ola Aasness. LPO har flere prosjekter i Tromsø, og i denne epsioden snakker Lars og Alexander blant annet en del om Vervet.  https://www.lpo.no/prosjekter/vervet Har du spørsmål eller tilbakemeldinger?

It's a tough looking card for punters in Norway this week but Greg and David pick their way through the weekend's best bets and get a bit excited about the lower leagues which have already proven profitable.

Il volume di pannelli usati nel mondo nel 2030 arriverà a circa 8 mln di tonnellate (è una stima ottimistica). Nel 2050 raggiungerà 80 milioni di tonnellate. La Cina esporta il 90% dei pannelli utilizzati nel mondo. È probabile un collo di bottiglia. Solo nel 2023 in EU abbiamo importato dalla Cina circa 203 milioni di pannelli, in grado di produrre 101.5GW. Equivalgono a circa 254 mila container che messi uno in fila all'altro potrebbero collegare Torino con Tromso, al circolo polare artico). Le stime sono in crescita. Secondo studi della Arizona State University, si registra una carenza di argento. Il comparto fotovoltaico cuba il 15% dell'argento al mondo(fonte Bloomberg) e di questo passo nel 2040 si arriverà a consumarne il 100% dell'argento estratto in anno. KeepTheSun, primo marketplace italiano di pannelli fotovoltaici usati, ha come obiettivi: trasformare un potenziale rifiuto in una fonte di energia pulita e a basso costo, dare nuovo impulso alla transizione energetica in un'ottica di economia circolare e sostenere così la filiera europea del fotovoltaico. Un progetto dell'ESCo (Energy Service Company) COESA che dopo una prima fase di test da metà Marzo è diventato pienamente operativo. L'azienda torinese - che sviluppa soluzioni all'avanguardia per la transizione ecologica di imprese, pubblica amministrazione e famiglie - punta a un mercato tutto da costruire, gestito attualmente in maniera amatoriale da privati che vendono i vecchi pannelli sulle piattaforme online. Il potenziale è enorme, se si considera che il 90% dell'usato 78 milioni di tonnellate di pannelli entro il 2050 secondo le stime ENEA è destinato a finire in discarica.Ne parliamo con Federico Sandrone, amministratore delegato e cofondatore di COESA.Gimbe, in Italia quasi 2 miliioni di persone non si curano per motivi economiciNel 2022 la spesa sanitaria sostenuta direttamente dalle famiglie italiane, la cosiddetta 'out of pocket', ammonta a quasi 37 miliardi di euro. Oltre 25,2 milioni di famiglie in media hanno speso per la salute 1.362 euro, oltre 64 euro in più rispetto al 2021 che salgono a 100 euro per il Centro sud. 4,2 milioni di famiglie hanno limitato le spese per la salute, in particolare al Sud. E più di 1,9 milioni di persone hanno rinunciato a prestazioni sanitarie per ragioni economiche. E' a rischio la salute di oltre 2,1 milioni di famiglie indigenti. Lo rileva l'analisi della Fondazione Gimbe che si basa su dati Istat. L'entità della spesa out-of-pocket sottostima le mancate tutele pubbliche perché viene arginata da fenomeni conseguenti alle difficoltà economiche delle famiglie. Questi fenomeni sono molto più frequenti nelle Regioni del Mezzogiorno, proprio quelle dove l'erogazione dei Livelli Essenziali di Assistenza è inadeguata. Lo status di povertà assoluta che coinvolge oggi più di due milioni di famiglie richiede urgenti politiche di contrasto alla povertà, non solo per garantire un tenore di vita dignitoso a tutte le persone, ma anche perché le diseguaglianze sociali nell'accesso alle cure e l'impossibilità di far fronte ai bisogni di salute con risorse proprie rischiano di compromettere la salute e la vita dei più poveri, in particolare nel Mezzogiorno. Dove l'impatto sanitario, economico e sociale senza precedenti rischia di peggiorare ulteriormente con l'autonomia differenziata.Ne parliamo con Nino Cartabellotta, Presidente della Fondazione GIMBE.Def, Pil 2024 all'1%, il debito sale al 137,8%. Giorgetti: «Obiettivo taglio cuneo anche nel 2025»Il consiglio dei ministri ha approvato il Documento di economia e finanza. Il Pil del 2024 è stato fissato al +1%. Nella Nadef il Pil programmatico per quest'anno era al +1,2%. Si alza dunque oggi il velo sulle nuove stime per l'economia italiana con l'approvazione del Def all'esame del Consiglio dei ministri. La riunione è durata circa un ora. I documenti di finanza pubblica contengono le politiche economiche e finanziarie decise dal Governo. Nel corso degli ultimi decenni i documenti programmatici hanno assunto sempre di più un ruolo chiave nella definizione ed esposizione delle linee guida di politica economica del Paese. Tuttavia quello che ha registrato il via libera del Cdm è un Documento di economia e finanza che indica solo il quadro tendenziale, e quindi è destinato presto a cambiare: nel testo non ci sono le stime programmatiche che rappresentano la direzione in cui il Governo intende muovere. «La mancanza del programmatico è un fatto non nuovo, verificatosi già in 4 precedenti», ha ricordato il ministro dell'Economia Giancarlo Giorgetti, intervenuto in conferenza stampa al termine della riunione dell0'esecutivo a Palazzo Chigi. Anche se nei 4 precedenti si trattava di governi che avevano il voto alle porte. «Le nostre previsioni sono viste in ribasso rispetto alla Nafef per la crescita, passiamo a una previsione dell'1% in diminuzione dello 0,2% rispetto a quanto previsto l'anno scorso», ha aggiunto il ministro dell'Economia. Si tratta di «previsioni assai complicate da fare per un quadro di carattere internazionale e geopolitico complicato».Ne parliamo con Dino Pesole, editorialista del Sole 24 Ore e Lorenzo Codogno, Visiting professor alla London School of Economics e al College of Europe e consulente con LC Macro Advisors Ltd dal 2015. È stato capo economista del Ministero dell'Economia e delle Finanze (2006-2015), e di Bank of America a Londra (1998-2006).

Prende il via l'iter legale della procedura d'infrazione Ue lanciata dall'Italiacontro l'Austria per i divieti unilaterali imposti ai tir al Brennero. A quanto si apprende a Bruxelles, la prima audizione in contradditorio davanti alla Commissione europea si svolgerà nel pomeriggio dalle 14:30 alle 18. L'esecutivo Ue non intende rilasciare dichiarazioni in quanto si tratta di "una procedura legalmente vincolata". La procedura per trascinare l'Austria davanti alla Corte di giustizia Ue, ricorda un portavoce della Commissione, è regolamentata dall'articolo 259 dei Trattati. Dopo il ricorso presentato dal governo italiano, ora entrambe le parti hanno la possibilità di esporre le loro argomentazioni sia oralmente che per iscritto davanti all'esecutivo Ue che dovrà quindi redigere - entro il 15 maggio - un parere motivato. Nel caso in cui Bruxelles non agisca entro quel termine, il governo italiano potrà rivolgersi direttamente alla Corte di giustizia europea. Il volume delle merci che attraversa il Brennero è circa il 30% del traffico totale Nord-Sud nelle Alpi.La somma dei traffici al Brennero e al Tarvisio vale oltre il 50% dei traffici complessivi su gomma del sistema dei valichiNe parliamo con Paolo Uggè, presidente Conftrasporto e Fai (Federazione autotrasportatori Italiani).Dimon (Jpmorgan), impatto Ia come motore e vapore ed elettricitàL'impatto che l'intelligenza artificiale avrà sulla società può essere paragonato a quello avuto dall'elettricità e da internet. Lo ha detto l'amministratore delegato di JPMorgan Jamie Dimon nella lettera agli azionisti. "Anche se non sappiamo il pieno effetto dell'IA sulla nostra attività - e sulla società in generale -, siamo convinti che le conseguenze saranno straordinarie. L'impatto sarà come quello di alcune delle maggiori invenzioni degli ultimi centinaia di anni. Pensiamo alla macchina da stampa, al motore a vapore, all'elettricità, al computer e a internet", ha detto Dimon. L'amministratore delegato di JPMorgan, Jamie Dimon, mette in guardia: l'inflazione e i tassi di interesse potrebbero restare più alti di quanto si attendono i mercati a causa dell'elevata spesa pubblica. Nella lettera agli azionisti, Dimon afferma come "è importante notare che l'economia è spinta dalle spese pubbliche e dai recenti stimoli. C'è inoltre una crescente necessità di aumentare la spesa per far fronte alla transizione verso un'economia più verde e per ristrutturare le catene di approvvigionamento globali", osserva Dimon. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti - nuovo Direttore di NewsMondo.itEuropa alla ricerca di una difesa contro "l'invasione"cineseItalia, Francia e Germania tornano a incontrarsi per proseguire il coordinamento tra Paesi in tema di politica industriale. Oggi, a Parigi, si sta tenendo la terza riunione trilaterale tra i tre Paesi, dopo quella a Berlino dello scorso giugno sulle materie prime critiche e quella a Roma di ottobre sulla transizione digitale e l intelligenza artificiale. La trilaterale di Parigi ha oggetto la transizione ecologica e le tecnologie green. Alla riunione partecipano il ministro delle Imprese e del Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, il vice cancelliere e ministro dell Economia e dell'Azione per il clima tedesco, Robert Habeck e il ministro dell Economia delle Finanze e della Sovranità Industriale e Digitale francese, Bruno Le Maire. Proprio quest'ultimo ha dichiarato: "La Cina e gli Stati Uniti non ci aspetteranno. La Cina e gli Stati Uniti non ci faranno sconti": questo l'avvertimento lanciato dal ministro francese, tornando ad insistere per l'affermazione di una strategia economica comune dell'Unione europea, al termine del vertice trilaterale a Meudon - alle porte di Parigi - con gli omologhi di Italia e Germania, Adolfo Urso e Robert Habeck. "Non c'è un secondo da perdere", ha aggiunto Le Maire. L'allarme sulla Cina è stato lanciato questo fine settimana anche dal segretario del Tesoro Usa Janet Yellen a seguito degli incontri con gli alti funzionari cinesi. La Cina necessita di aggiustamenti sul fronte delle politiche industriali e sui consumi delle famiglie che sono deboli: il segretario al Tesoro americano Janet Yellen, chiudendo la sua missione in Cina, ha assicurato che "gli Stati Uniti non permetteranno di essere inondati da beni a basso costo" provenienti dal Dragone come avvenuto in passato. Quando il mercato globale è inondato da prodotti cinesi "artificialmente economici, la sopravvivenza delle aziende americane e di quelle straniere viene messa in discussione.

Iniziano ad esserci carenze anche di sabbia silicea (ne ha parlato l'Economist), che è il secondo materiale (dopo l'acqua) più utilizzato al mondo.

As Gaza's people face starvation from Israel's war and siege, the US and EU reveal plans to send supplies. But the US and EU members have also been busy supplying weapons to Israel. Will their new initiatives help Gaza? Or are they just a PR exercise for US President Joe Biden and his EU allies?

A weekly shiur by Dayan Levi Yitzchok Raskin, Rov of Anash in London, explores interesting Torah questions and halachic dilemmas. The following issues are discussed by Dayan Raskin in this week's episode: 1) Is it permitted on Shabbos to bang on the table to a beat? [1] 2) Why do we ask HaShem for dew (in the 9th brocho of the Amidah); isn't there a rule that dew is never withheld? [2] 3) May one recite Kiddush Levono when the moon is partially clouded? [3] 4) We're in Tromso, Norway for a week. We have no sun-time at all, but two hours of daylight: 11 AM to 1 PM. What times do we follow for Tefillin and for Shabbos? [4] 5) My wife is out of town and my married daughter is with me for Shabbos. Need I light Shabbos candles separately, or can I be yoitze with my daughter's lighting?[5] 6) Is one permitted to switch tefillin during the Chazan's repetition of the Amidah? [6] 7) Banging on the Bima?[7] 8) Should one give a tip to a Nochri?[8] 9) The earliest time for Mincha is a ½ hour after midday. Is that 30 minutes flat, or does it fluctuate according to the length of the day?[9] 10) Feedback on: Seudah Hoido'oh; Oron Kodesh having doors plus a curtain: Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9764852268 Index to previous Panorama Shiurim: Panorama Index 2 - Google Docs Audio recording (on Kol HaLoshon): +44/0 208 191 7000; press *7, then code 921606 ________________________________________ [1] איסור הזמר בכלי שיר מבואר בשו"ע סי' שלח, ואיסור הטיפוח והריקוד נידון בסי' שלט. איסור הכאה באצבע על הלוח – כתב הרמב"ם (פכ"ג ה"ד) בהמשך לאיסור כלי שיר: "ואפילו להכות...". אבל בשו"ע הובא בס' שלט, בהמשך לדין טיפוח וריקוד. ולפי זה מוקשה לשון "ואפילו", דמשמע דקיל מינייהו. ומ"מ המשנ"ב סק"י הכריע שהמנהג להקל אינו שייך להכאה על הלוח כדרך המשוררים. וגם אדה"ז הביא ההיתר רק בטיפוח ורקידה כו'. וכן כתב לאסור בס' ארחות חיים פכ"א סל"ג, ובס' פסקי תשובות אסר במתופף בשתי ידיים. בס' שלמת חיים מסיק רק דמוטב שיהיו שוגגין, אבל לא דחה הסברא להחמיר במכה על הקרקע יותר מסיפוק כפיים. אזהרות על ההליכה אנה ואנה בתפלה – אגרות קודש של אדה"ז סימן ח וסימן מב (תקנות לאזניא). ועוד כמ"פ בספר הנ"ל.

10 centimetres of snow, a single track road and its end, a Viking-style longhouse, mystically lit by torches and overlooking a picturesque Norwegian fjord – wow! That's what our arrival looked like when approaching Aurora Spirit Distillery - quite the way to arrive at a distillery…Okay, okay, you have to go there in late autumn or winter for the snow and the torches are well-animated electrical torches, but still, our “wow” keeps standing – and we haven't even mentioned the majestic Northern Lights, yet, which you can perfectly spot there when it's clear at night. After parking the car and then walking by the Viking longhouse, which is actually a whisky warehouse, we finally arrived at our final destination, Aurora Spirit Distillery, the producers of Bivrost Whisky: A beautiful and very modern building with a vast glass front, offering a perfect view of the fjord, coupled with traditional wooden elements. Stepping inside, you recognise right away all the thoughtfully staged artifacts reminiscent of the old Vikings – all very moody! Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a man, who can actually claim that he is 100% Viking himself (a very calm and charming one, as we might add): Tor Petter Christensen, founder and CEO of Aurora Spirit Distillery.Before our recording, Tor took the time to give us an extensive tour of the entire site and we were hooked in no time – what an absolutely fabulous place to produce the northernmost whisky in the world. Spectacular!Are you curious now? Well, you should be! So don't miss out on our new podcast episode with Tor and find out more about Aurora Spirit Distillery, Bivrost Whisky and producing whisky at 69° North. We're sure it's time well-spent – especially during the darker time of the year. So lean back and enjoy.

Kathleen from Plenty of Sunshine Travel met with Lori from Seabourn Cruises for this week's cruise chat.   .  Lori did a very comprehensive brand overview. We looked at the suites, talked about the dining venues, and what makes Seabourn unique from the other lines.  . Seabourn's entry-level suites are SO spacious and luxurious! The Wintergarden suite boasts the best view of the ocean! Plus, a stunning hot tub on the veranda. You will want to soak in this hot tub after a day of hiking or biking.  The Wintergarden Suites feature large windows, a six-person dining area, a whirlpool bathtub, and a guest bath. It also has a convertible sofa bed for one, a pantry with a wet bar, a glass-enclosed solarium with a tub and day bed, two closets and two flat-screen TVs. The dining choices are aplenty you will have difficulty deciding which venue to enjoy each night.   .  We then discussed an itinerary that Lori just came back from. She visited Norway! (totally on my bucket list!) I love this itinerary because Seabourn is one of the few luxury cruises that surpass the Arctic circle.  The itinerary of the 14-day Norway cruise that Lori took is as follows: . Departing from Copenhagen Skagen, Laerdal, Loen, Alesund, Svolvaer, troll fjord, Tromso, Storstappen Island, Honningsvag, The North Cape, Nordtfiord, Stognefjorn, Stavanger, Farsund, Returning to Copenhagen Wow! Now, I really want to go on this cruise.   .  Then we discussed MY cruise. I will be visiting London, England, before the cruise then, on Sunday, I fly to Copenhagen from London to embark on a journey of a lifetime.   .  I am really excited about this cruise! My cruise also departs from Copenhagen. ~ which was named the best port in Europe. ~ For a good reason! Come and find out why.   After Copenhagen, we will visit Gothenburg, Sweeden, followed by Two Days at Sea, Heimaey, Iceland, Grundarfjordur, Iceland, Diúpivogur, Iceland, Ending in Reykjavik, Iceland. . I would love for you to join me on this cruise! It is going to be fantastic!  I would enjoy meeting with you all each evening so we can do "Port Talks With Kathleen," and I can answer your questions and decide which excursion is best for you. After my cruise, I plan on renting a campervan and exploring Iceland for a few days along the ring road.   I plan on snorkelling in the waters at Silfra and touching the two tectonic plates!  From Google: "Silfra is the only place to dive or snorkel directly in a crack between two tectonic plates. The earthquakes of 1789 opened up several fissures in the Thingvellir area, but the Silfra fissure cut into the underground spring filled with glacial meltwater from the nearby Langjökull glacier." The Silfra Fissure in Iceland's Thingvellir National Park straddles the Eurasian and North American continental plates. I can NOT wait!   .  Would you like to join me???  Email me at Info@PlentyofSunshineTravel.com, and I will respond as soon as possible.

Kate Adie presents stories from Ukraine, Nepal, Iraq, Norway and the US Andrew Harding is at the frontline in Eastern Donbas, close to Russian lines, where soldiers share their dreams of the future after the war, as artillery fire rains down on them. The Yeti airlines crash into a gorge in Nepal last Sunday was the worst in 30 years. Rajini Vaidyanathan saw the grim reality of the crash site and spoke to mourners as they prepared to bury their loved ones. From chocolate biscuits, to porcelain to air-conditioning units, Iranian produce lines the shelves of Baghdad's stores. But despite the strong commercial ties and shared cultural influences, political tensions are flaring in the Kurdistan region of Iraq after the death of Mahsa Amini, writes Lizzie Porter. In Arctic Norway, cod fisherman rely on Russian cooperation to share fish stocks in the Barents Sea equally. Hugh Francis Anderson was in Tromso where he spoke to fisherman increasingly wary that souring relations with Russia could impact their livelihoods. Mark Moran reports from Arizona on the water wars in the state, where rural farmers and ranchers are launching a fightback against the move to divert water to the expanding city of Queen's Creek.

The SOFC will reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by about a further 30 percent compared with a conventional LNG engine without producing emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides or fine particles.  It also offers the advantage of being compatible with LNG, as well as several low carbon fuels such as types of methanol, ammonia and hydrogen. This project will form the building block for future larger installations and the beginning of an even closer collaboration between MSC Cruises and Chantier de L'Atlantique on R&D of fuel cell technology.The traditional coin ceremony tradition took place as the keel was laid for MSC Cruises' second LNG-powered ship, MSC Euribia, which will be one of the most environmentally high performing contemporary vessels built in France. Anne Claire Juventin Responsible for Quality Control from the Chantiers de l'Atlantique, and Valentina Mancini, Brand Manager from MSC Cruises performed the traditional maritime ritual as godmothers representing the ship owner and the shipbuilder when they placed two coins under the keel as the historical sign of blessing and good fortune for the project, and the ship's operational life at sea.The float out of MSC World Europa, which will be the first LNG-powered vessel to join the MSC Cruises fleet took place at the shipyard in Saint-Nazaire where she will now be moved to a wet dock for work to continue on the ship until her delivery in November 2022.NCL Homeports in Panama City Norwegian Cruise Line, will become the first cruise line to homeport in Panama City, Panama, offering roundtrip Panama Canal voyages beginning 20 March 2022 with Norwegian Jewel.NCLK (Parent company of NCL) signed a multi-year agreement with the Panama Tourism Authority which allows the Company to seasonally homeport at the Colon Cruise Terminal as well as at Fuerte Amador Cruise Terminal located on the Pacific Ocean side of the country and adjacent to Panama City.In 2022 and 2023 the Company will offer 12 homeport voyages starting with Norwegian Jewel on 20 March 2022 where she will sail a nine-day itinerary traversing the Panama Canal and visiting incredible destinations including Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curaçao; Kralendijk, Bonaire and Cartagena, Colombia before arriving to the Caribbean side of Panama in the city of Colon.Starting 14 January 2023, Norwegian Gem will also feature select Panama Canal voyages including an 11-day journey visiting seven ports of call, including Puerto Limon, Costa Rica; Oranjestad, Aruba; Willemstad, Curaçao; Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic and Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands before ending in New York City.
