GUWAHATI — India's goods exports to the US, its largest foreign market, dropped sharply by 20% in September and nearly 40% in the last four months, as Trump's steep tariffs took effect, data shows.September was the first full month of Washington's 50% tariffs on Indian goods, which kicked in on 27 August. This includes a 25% penalty for Delhi's refusal to stop buying oil from Russia."US has become India's most severely affected market since the tariff escalation began," said Ajay Srivastava of Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), a Delhi-based think tank.Negotiations for a trade deal between the two countries are under way, with the goal of concluding an agreement by next month.According to GTRI, the most significant impact of the tariffs has been felt by...

Renewables drive putting pressure on Dutch power grid
ROTTERDAM — In a Dutch government TV campaign called "Flip the Switch" an actress warns viewers about their electricity usage."When we all use electricity at the same time, our power grid gets overloaded," she says. "This can cause malfunctions. So, use as little electricity as possible between four and nine."It is the sign that, in one of the most-advanced economies in the world, something has gone wrong with the country's power supply.The Netherlands has been an enthusiastic adopter of electric cars. It has the highest number of charging points per capita in Europe.As for electricity production, the Netherlands has replaced gas from its large North Sea reserves with wind and solar.So much so that it leads the way in Europe for the number of solar panels per person. In fact, more...

EU plans functional 'drone wall' against Russia by end of 2027
BRUSSELS — The EU plans to have its so-called "drone wall" fully functional and integrated within a "network based drone capability" by the end of 2027, according to a leaked copy of the upcoming Defense Readiness Roadmap 2030 seen by Euronews.The document, which the European Commission will officially unveil on Thursday, builds on months of talks between the EU's executive and member states to completely revamp the bloc's defense policy in the face of an increasingly belligerent Russia.The EU has already set a list of nine capability priority areas for member states to invest in as a matter of urgency including ammunition, drone and anti-drone technology, with the Commission also proposing earlier this month that four pan-European flagship projects be prioritised.It listed...

European allies pledge to buy more US weapons under PURL scheme for Ukraine
BRUSSLES — A further 10 European NATO allies signed up to join the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme during a meeting of the alliance's defense minister in Brussels on Wednesday, in a bid to make up for a recent shortfall in supply to the country.The new financial arrangement sees European allies buy US-made weapons which are then transferred to Ukraine.New data on Western military aid to Ukraine shows that it plunged by 43% in July and August compared to the first half of the year, according to Germany's Kiel Institute, which tracks defense and financial support to Kyiv.PURL is key to enacting Europe and Canada's commitment to taking on the majority share of the burden for Ukraine's security as it continues to defend itself from the Russia's...

EU rebukes Hungary's FM for attending Moscow energy conference
BRUSSELS — The European Commission reacted swiftly to the latest trip by Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó to Moscow on Wednesday, saying the visit “is not the right message to Putin.”The top Hungarian diplomat defied the majority of EU states once again by attending an energy conference in the Russian capital, where he called the EU’s energy diversification attempts to phase out fossil fuels “crazy”.A European Commission spokesperson told the press on Wednesday that any bilateral contacts by member states should respect the EU position and policies, in particular, when the bloc is scaling down its relations with Moscow to the minimum."Being in Moscow, right now is not the right message to Putin, because time and context matter," spokesperson Anitta Hipper said.She added that...

Robert Fico vetoes EU sanctions against Russia again, asks for new concessions
BRUSSELS — Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has once again invoked his veto power to block a new round of European Union sanctions against Russia, setting the stage for a full-blown clash during next week's summit of leaders.The proposed package, which has been on the table for almost a month, targets Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG), oil infrastructure, "shadow fleet" and cryptocurrency platforms, as well as the movements of Russian diplomats across the 27-member bloc.After weeks of negotiations, the technical and legal details of the restrictions have been fine-tuned and settled, according to diplomats consulted by Euronews.This has left the matter dependent on a final vote.On Wednesday, the ambassadors in Brussels got together, hoping to reach a deal. That is when Slovakia...

UK government under pressure to release China spy case evidence
LONDON — The Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats are demanding the Labour government publish the evidence it submitted in the now-collapsed case against two people accused of spying for China.It follows another public intervention from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which has made clear it would not stand in the way if ministers chose to put their evidence in the public domain.On Tuesday, senior government figures had suggested that the CPS had told them to do so would be "inappropriate".Prosecutors unexpectedly dropped the case against Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry last month, prompting criticism from ministers and MPs. Both men deny the allegations.The director of public prosecutions said the case collapsed because evidence could not obtained from the government...

PARIS – French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has told parliament he backs suspending controversial 2023 pension reforms, in the face of crucial votes of no-confidence later this week.The changes, which raised the retirement age from 62 to 64, were seen as signature reforms in Emmanuel Macron's presidency."This autumn I will propose to parliament that we suspend the 2023 pension reform until the [2027] presidential election," Lecornu said to applause from left-wing parties.Lecornu was reappointed prime minister last week only four days after he resigned, and needs the support of Socialist MPs in parliament if his government is to survive.Opposition parties on the far right and far left have called confidence votes, known as "censure" votes on Lecornu's government, for...
