The Netherlands announces weapons package for Ukraine under new Trump-NATO initiative
AMSTERDAM — The Netherlands said on Monday that it will contribute €500 million to purchase US military equipment to be sent to Ukraine, becoming the first NATO country to forge a new protocol to provide Kyiv with American weaponry after US President Donald Trump tightened crucial military aid following his re-election.Last month, Trump announced that the US will continue to supply weapons to Ukraine, which would be paid for by Kyiv’s European allies, but did not provide information on how this new system was designed to operate.Dutch Defence Minister Ruben Brekelmans announced in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that “As the first NATO Ally, the Netherlands will deliver a €500 million package of US weapon systems (including Patriot parts and missiles).”The Dutch defence chief...

Countries gather to thrash out deal on 'plastic crisis'
GENEVA – Plastic production has exploded in the last century – to some it has been a miracle product while to others it is a pollution nightmare.Scientists have estimated that there are nearly 200 trillion pieces floating in the world's oceans, and this could triple if no action is taken.In 2022, countries agreed to develop a legally binding global treaty to cut the waste and the harmful chemicals some plastics contain – but after two years no agreement has been reached.On Tuesday, the world's nations meet again at a UN conference in Geneva – could they finally agree how to curb the plastic excesses?Human societies have used plastics that occur naturally in the environment for hundreds of years, in the form of rubber, horn and shellac.But the 20th Century brought the...

EU diplomats confirm they won't yet sanction Israel on Gaza
BRUSSELS — EU diplomats on Monday failed to agree once again on a partial suspension of Israel from the Horizon Europe fund in response to the war in Gaza, several diplomats said.Gathered online for their regular Mashreq/Maghreb Working Party and despite mounting pressure on Israel over the hunger crisis in Gaza, the 27 EU diplomats still couldn’t reach any qualified majority on a European Commission proposal to cut Israel from partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund.“The situation has not changed,” one EU diplomat said, referring to a formal meeting of EU ambassadors last week which also failed to agree to the Commission’s proposal. The diplomat said the issue was now in the hands of the EU’s foreign affairs ministers, who will meet informally...

Pam Bondi directed a prosecutor to present evidence to a grand jury
US attorney general orders grand jury hearings on Trump-Russia probe
WASHINGTON – US Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered prosecutors to open legal proceedings into allegations of a so-called Russiagate conspiracy that Donald Trump has long claimed was concocted by political foes to smear him.Bondi has ordered a federal prosecutor to seek a potential indictment, according to the BBC's US partner CBS News.It is unclear, however, what the possible charges might be and who could be charged.Last month, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard accused former President Barack Obama and his national security team of a "years-long coup" against Trump as she released a declassified report that Democrats branded false.Gabbard alleged that intelligence about Russian meddling in the 2016 White House election had been politicised by the Obama...

India calls Trump's tariff threat over Russian oil 'unjustified'
DELHI – India has called Donald Trump's threat of "substantially" higher tariffs over its purchase of oil from Russia "unjustified and unreasonable".In a post on Truth Social, the US president warned he would raise levies, saying India "don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine".India is currently among the largest buyers of Russian oil. It has become an important export market for Moscow after several European countries cut trade when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.Trump did not specify what the new tariff would be, but it comes just days after he unveiled a hefty 25% levy on India.In a statement, a spokesperson for India's foreign ministry, Randhir Jaiswal, said the US had...

BP says it makes biggest oil and gas find in 25 years
SINGAPORE – Energy giant BP says it has made its largest oil and gas discovery this century as it shifts its focus away from renewable energy and back to fossil fuels.The UK-based firm said on Monday that it is conducting tests at the site in deep water off Brazil's east coast. The discovery could play a major role in BP's plans to increase crude oil production.Company executive Gordon Birrell says the discovery is "BP's largest in 25 years" and that the firm will explore building a production hub there.In February, BP slashed its planned investments in renewable energy and said it would spend billions of dollars more a year on its oil and gas operations, as it aims to boost investor confidence.BP said it had found a roughly 500-metre area of oil and gas at the...

The Eurasian lynx is among the predators that are expected to benefit from the scheme, the zoo says
Danish zoo asks for unwanted pets to feed its predators
COPENHAGEN – A zoo in Denmark has appealed to the public to donate their healthy unwanted pets as part of a unique effort to provide food for its predators.Aalborg Zoo has asked for donations of live chickens, rabbits, and guinea pigs, which it says are "gently euthanised" by trained staff.The zoo also accepts donations of live horses – with owners able to benefit from a potential tax break.Posting on Instagram, the zoo explains it has a "responsibility to imitate the natural food chain of the animals" and smaller livestock "make up an important part of the diet of our predators".The zoo says the food provided in this way is "reminiscent of what it would naturally hunt in the wild" – and that this is especially true for the Eurasian lynx.Other...

Gareth Ward
Convicted rapist fighting to remain in parliament in Australia
SYDNEY – An Australian politician convicted of rape is fighting – from his jail cell – to remain a member of the New South Wales (NSW) state parliament.Gareth Ward was last month found guilty of sexually assaulting two young men, aged 18 and 24, at his home between 2013 and 2015, and is now in custody pending sentencing.The NSW House of Representatives had planned to expel the 44-year-old this week after he refused to resign following the guilty verdict.However, lawyers for Ward – who plans to appeal his conviction – say they will seek an injunction, at a Supreme Court hearing on Thursday, to stop the independent member for Kiama from being forced out."He's got no shame," NSW Premier Chris Minns told local radio station 2GB on Tuesday.He repeated calls for Ward to...
