To avoid irreversible damage to our communities and ecosystems, we can´t just stop permitting new oil and gas drilling and coal- and gas-fired power plants, and end production of combustion-engine vehicles. We have to cancel and retire existing fossil fuel projects as well. Humans have already overheated Earth by 1.1 degrees Celsius (2 degrees Fahrenheit).

BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) - European Union member states have reached an agreement on the joint procurement of ammunition for Ukraine, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels on Monday.

state attorneys general on Monday blasted Hyundai Motor and Kia Corp and said they need do more to address problems with millions of U.S.

After a decade of operating in near-obscurity, lies about ERIC began bubbling up from the fever swamps, such as that George Soros was behind the project and that the initiative is a left-wing plot to add more racial minorities to the voter rolls.

The attorneys general letter said the automakers had failed to take adequate steps to address the alarming rate of theft and urged them to accelerate the implementation of the software upgrade and provide free alternative protective measures for owners whose cars cannot support the software upgrade.

Earlier this month, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said he had launched a civil investigation into Kia and Hyundai´s sale of vehicles to Minnesota consumers that lacked industry-standard, anti-theft technology and sought documents and answer questions under oath.

Hyundai said the upgrade applies to various U.S.

"Today, we will sign the respective documents," he told reporters, adding Germany would also open its national framework contracts with the defense industry to other partners as speed was of the essence in supplying Kyiv.

More than 9 million Iraqis were displaced. The toll has been felt most of all, of course, within Iraq itself. Thousands of coalition personnel, mostly American, were killed. Much of the Pentagon spending went to just five huge corporations. The Costs of War project estimates that several times as many may have died from knock-on effects. Hundreds of thousands of civilians died in the violence that followed. Trillions of dollars that could have been spent on improving lives were instead squandered destroying them.

BEIJING, March 23 (Reuters) - China has never deliberately pursued a trade surplus with the United States, Shu Jueting, a commerce ministry spokesperson, said on Thursday, despite signs that China is continuing to reduce its reliance on American exports.

It identifies inflation as primarily responsible for this figure. 7 shows that exports to China increased by $2.4 billion on the year to hit a "record high" of $153.8 billion in 2022, that is an "empty statement", according to a new report from the Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE).

WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Thursday the United States was looking at ways to strengthen its sanctions against Iran, but acknowledged the sanctions had not resulted in the behavioral or policy changes Washington desires from Tehran.

Worse, Moderna´s profits will fund trials of other vaccines in development, including for cancer. Under the Affordable Care Act, Americans with private insurance won´t have to pay a penny out-of-pocket for the vaccines. So what´s the problem? Moderna will profit from its innovation. Moderna will also offer free vaccines to the uninsured.

Banks are different from most private-sector companies. Policymakers - in Congress, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve - have a duty to explain to the American public how things were allowed to spin so far out of control. They are insulated from market discipline by various forms of federal protection because, like the power companies that keep the lights on, they provide a public service that is essential to a modern economy. Regulators have a responsibility to ensure that banks do not abuse those privileges.

"This is the result of a shared desire to reset (the) US-Rwanda relationship," Kagame's press secretary Stephanie Nyombayire tweeted Friday, adding the close relationship between Rwanda and Qatar

The film was inspired by his experience as a hotel manager during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, when his family and hundreds of guests -- mainly ethnic Tutsis like his wife -- took refuge inside the Mille Collines as machete-wielding mobs killed people outside the ho

Money raised from shareholders is called capital, and banks have far less of it than other kinds of companies. Policymakers also need to recognize the limits of government oversight as a substitute for market discipline. If, for example, banks were required to raise 20% of funding from shareholders, that would still be well below the norm for other kinds of companies but enough that it might have covered Silicon Valley Bank´s losses and saved the bank. Banks should be required to raise more money from shareholders, who have a strong incentive to keep an eye on the way that money is used, since they can lose all of it. They are allowed to borrow most of the money they use from lenders and depositors.
