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...

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...

Chinese students in UK told to spy on classmates, report says
LONDON — Chinese students at UK universities are being pressured to spy on their classmates in an attempt to suppress the discussion of issues that are sensitive to the Chinese government, a new report suggests.The UK-China Transparency (UKCT) think tank says its survey of academics in China studies also highlighted reports of Chinese government officials warning lecturers to avoid discussing certain topics in their classes.It comes days after a new law came into force placing more responsibility on universities to uphold academic freedom and free speech.The Chinese embassy in London called the report "groundless and absurd", adding that China respects freedom of speech in the UK and elsewhere.The regulator, the Office for Students (OfS), says freedom of speech and academic...

Young Ukrainians were outside parliament again on Thursday as MPs voted to overturn a controversial law
Young Ukrainians get their way as Zelensky overturns law to defuse crisis
KYIV — As Ukraine's MPs gathered at parliament in Kyiv on Thursday, some held cardboard signs that read, "We are with our people."It was a message to thousands of young protesters who had taken part in the biggest anti-government demonstrations since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion. They were out in force again on Thursday.The MPs then entered parliament, the Rada, and took part in a vote that overwhelmingly overturned a law introduced by President Volodymyr Zelensky last week that curtailed the independence of two key anti-corruption agencies known as Nabu and Sap - the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialised Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office.The signs carried by the MPs outside the Rada were a nod to the placards carried by thousands of young...

Diplomatic row between France and Spain escalates after Jewish teens kicked off flight
PARIS — Tensions are escalating between Paris and Madrid following comments by Spanish Transport Minister Oscar Puente in the case involving the removal of a group of French Jewish teenagers from a flight in Spain.The incident occurred on 23 July, when a group of around 40 teens was removed from a plane at Valencia airport.Last Friday, Oscar Puente posted and then later deleted on the social media platform X, criticising Spanish conservative politicians for allegedly failing to back the airline and instead "supporting the Israeli brats."The post quickly drew ire from the French government, which also denounced the behaviour of Spanish law enforcement officers towards one of the group's adult chaperones.Videos on social media showed police holding the female counsellor on...

Burnt cars lie in the street as civilians are evacuated from Pokrovsk, Ukraine, by police on June 19
Russia’s summer offensive is turning into an escalating crisis for Ukraine
POKROVSK, eastern Ukraine — The silent, moonless black is broken only by the whirr above of a Russian drone.Dmytro is yet to receive any patients at his tiny two-bed field hospital near Pokrovsk, and that is not a good outcome any more. Dawn begins to break – the twilight in which evacuation of the wounded from the front lines is safest – but still none arrive, and the enemy drones swirl incessantly above.“We have a very difficult situation with evacuation,” said Dmytro. “Many of the injured have to wait days. For Russian drone pilots, it is an honor for them when they kill medics and the injured.”This night, the frontline wounded do not arrive. The saturation of Moscow’s drone in the skies above – already palpable at this stabilization point 12 kilometers (7 miles) from...
