Leak detected in Russia pipeline that supplies Europe with oil
WARSAW — Polish operator PERN has detected a leak in one pipeline in the Druzhba system that carries oil from Russia to Europe, an event that will add to concerns about Europe's energy security after the Nord Stream gas leak.The discovery of the leak, which PERN said it found on Tuesday evening, comes as Europe faces a severe energy crisis in the aftermath of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, which has cut supplies of gas in a continuing stand-off.PERN said at this point the causes of the leak are unknown. It was detected in a section of the pipe around 70 kilometers from the central Polish city of Plock.The Druzhba oil pipeline, whose name means "friendship" in Russian, is one of the world's largest, supplying Russian oil to much of central Europe including Germany,...

Parties ask for more time to form new Swedish government
STOCKHOLM — Leaders of four right-wing political parties in Sweden say they need a few more days to strike a deal to form the country's new government, after a month of negotiations to hammer out a deal.It's been four weeks since the general election on Sept. 11, and on the surface it looks like business as usual in the Nordic nation.Incumbent Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson — whose left-wing bloc narrowly lost the vote to the right-wing parties — has represented her country at the recent European Political Community summit in Prague; she's been leading Sweden's response to explosions in the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea, and on Tuesday called a special meeting of the country's 'crisis council' to update the latest on the investigation.But her...

LONDON — Liz Truss faced her first Prime Minister's Questions in parliament on Wednesday since her government's mini-budget sent markets into turmoil, borrowing costs rising, and ratings plunging in a disastrous first month in office.It comes amid more bad news on the financial and economic fronts despite government efforts — and U-turns — to try to halt the slide since Chancellor (finance minister) Kwasi Kwarteng announced his plan for unfunded tax cuts.The pound fell again against the dollar early on Wednesday after the Bank of England said it would not extend its debt-buying intervention to stabilize financial markets.Meanwhile, official figures show the UK economy shrank unexpectedly in August, reinforcing fears of an impending recession.As the government struggles to...

GENEVA — The UN weather agency issued an urgent appeal on Tuesday for governments everywhere to switch to cleaner forms of energy, such as solar, wind and hydro-electric power.In its new report the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that in order to limit the global temperature rise, which is undermining energy security, electricity tapped from clean energy sources must double over the next eight years.With the energy sector responsible for around 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, WMO chief Petteri Taalas said that switching to cleaner energy generation and improving energy efficiency — is “vital if we are to thrive in the 21st century”.The 2022 State of Climate Services, which includes inputs from 26 different organizations, zeroes in on energy — a key...

NEW YORK — American Elon Musk has denied reports he spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin before posting a Twitter poll with his suggestions for ending Russia's war of Ukraine.Ian Bremmer, head of the Eurasia Group political risk consultancy, alleged that Musk had personally told him about the conversation with Putin.
