EU’s green funds are under the guillotine

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:02:10 GMT

Billions of euros earmarked to boost renewable energy and slash emissions are on the cutting block after EU leaders proposed moving them over to fund immigration and defense efforts instead.The move came during this week’s EU leaders’ summit in Brussels, where European Council President Charles Michel proposed axing nearly all of a €10 billion fund meant to help Europe build out energy networks of the future — wind turbines, hydrogen plants, carbon capture. The effort is a crucial part of the EU’s response to the U.S. spending splurge on renewable energy incentives, which includes hundreds of billions in subsidies. While countries like France, Italy and Spain have publicly backed the €10 billion initiative, Brussels is facing criticism from more frugal European capitals, particularly in the north, that want to limit their EU budget contributions and ensure there is money for competing priorities like curbing illegal immigration and rising military expenditures. M...

Football’s ‘thugs and oligarchs’ run risk of EU money-laundering crackdown

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:02:10 GMT

BRUSSELS ― The European Parliament thinks football stinks.Concerned that transfers and sponsorship deals might be about as watertight as Manchester United’s defensive line, lawmakers are pushing for governments to back down in their opposition to soccer clubs being included in an EU law cracking down on money-laundering.“Member states refuse to subject football clubs, leagues and agents to the basic rules of due diligence,” said Green MEP Damien Carême, co-leader of the Parliament’s negotiations and a fan of Racing Club de Lens in France. “This is a godsend for thugs and oligarchs, who will be able to carry on with their little business of match-fixing and dubious transfers with complete impunity.”The Parliament’s demands are the latest step in wrangles over an EU plan proposed two years ago to streamline Europe’s safeguards against money laundering across the board, which currently differ from country to country. The talks, between the Commission, Parliament and the Co...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:02:10 GMT

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla wasn’t interested in excuse-making. They were without Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford against the No. 2 team in the East, but he knew he had enough.“Just figure it out,” Mazzulla said pregame.The Celtics had lost four games in a row to the upstart Magic, including an abysmal defeat the day after Thanksgiving last month.

So, of course, they figured it out while shorthanded.Jayson Tatum scored 30 points and Jaylen Brown added 18 for the Celtics, who on the second night of a back-to-back, fired on all cylinders despite unideal circumstances.

Federal judge denies cattle industry’s request to temporarily halt wolf reintroduction in Colorado

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:02:10 GMT

DENVER (AP) — A federal judge has allowed the reintroduction of gray wolves in Colorado to move forward in the coming days by denying a request Friday from the state’s cattle industry for a temporary delay in the predators’ release.While the lawsuit will continue, Judge Regina Rodriguez’s ruling allows Colorado to proceed with its plan to find, capture and transport up to 10 wolves from Oregon starting Sunday. The deadline to put paws on the ground under the voter-approved initiative is December 31.The lawsuit from the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association and The Gunnison County Stockgrowers’ Association alleges that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service failed to adequately review the potential impacts of Colorado’s plan to release up to 50 wolves in Colorado over the next several years. The groups argued that the inevitable wolf attacks on livestock would come at significant cost to ranchers, the industry that helps drive the local economies where wolves would be released.Attorneys for t...
