WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the diplomat with the thick glasses and gravelly voice who dominated foreign policy as the United States extricated itself from Vietnam and broke down barriers with China, died Wednesday, his consulting firm said. He was 100. With his gruff yet commanding presence and behind-the-scenes manipulation of power, Kissinger exerted uncommon influence on global affairs under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, earning both vilification and the Nobel Peace Prize. Decades later, his name still provoked impassioned debate over foreign policy landmarks long past.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel and Hamas on Thursday agreed to extend a temporary truce by another day minutes before it was set to expire, said Qatar, which has been mediating between the two sides.Negotiations on extending it came down to the wire, with last-minute disagreements over the hostages to be freed by Hamas in exchange for another day of a halt in fighting.Word of the extension came just as the truce was to expire at 7 a.m. (0500 GMT) Thursday. The Qatari Foreign Ministry said the truce was being extended under the same terms as in the past, under which Hamas has released 10 Israeli hostages per day in exchange for the release of 30 Palestinian prisoners.The announcement followed a last-minute standoff earlier Thursday, with Hamas saying Israel had rejected a proposed list that included seven living captives and the remains of three who the group said were killed in previous Israeli airstrikes. Israel later said Hamas submitted an improved list, paving the way for the extension...FBI searching for suspect in SW Miami-Dade bank robbery

Mark Carney, the United Nations’ special envoy on climate action and finance, has said that the achievements of COP28 will depend on the host country’s ability to confront the fossil fuel industry.“All countries need to be judged on what their contribution is,” Carney told POLITICO’s Power Play podcast, ahead of the summit which is set to begin in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday.“And that goes for a country [the UAE] that is a leading oil and gas producer, also a leading renewable producer,” he added.The UAE, home to some of the largest oil reserves in the world, has attracted criticism for appointing Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber as COP president, in spite of his role as CEO of its national oil company.Climate activist Greta Thunberg has, for example, said the appointment of al-Jaber — who is also chairman of the board of directors of the UAE’s national renewable energy company — was “co...Time to ‘step up’: Mark Carney throws down the gauntlet at COP28

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 20:25:21 GMT
Le préfet des Deux-Sèvres a été encouragé financièrement à construire des bassines. Une feuille de route obtenue par POLITICO et signée en août 2021 par le Premier ministre Jean Castex liste “le nombre de constructions [de réserve] lancées” parmi les indicateurs utilisés pour évaluer la performance annuelle du préfet de l’époque.Quelques semaines plus tard démarrait la construction du projet de méga bassine de Sainte-Soline, qui a donné lieu à de violentes manifestations dans les mois qui ont suivi. Plusieurs de leurs organisateurs étaient jugés mardi à Niort, où plusieurs peines de prison avec sursis ont été requises.Le sujet est depuis devenu éminemment politique : les Insoumis défendent ce jeudi à l’Assemblée un moratoire sur les projets de méga-bassines dans le cadre de leur niche parlementaire, alors que plusieurs associations écologistes dénoncent l’impact sur les nappes phréatiques et la biodiversité de ces réserves d’eau à usage agricole.Feuilles de route et perfo...Latest news
