Turkey wants to be called Türkiye in rebranding move
UNITED NATIONS — Turkey will be known as Türkiye at the United Nations from now on, after it agreed to a formal request from Ankara.Several international bodies will be asked to make the name change as part of a rebranding campaign launched by the Turkish president late last year."Türkiye is the best representation and expression of the Turkish people's culture, civilization, and values," Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in December.The UN said it made the change as soon as it received the request this week.Most Turks already know their country as Türkiye.

Brussels approves Poland’s €35-bn recovery plan despite lingering rule of law concerns
BRUSSELS — The European Commission has given its assent to the Polish recovery plan, a key step to the country unlocking €23.9 billion in grants and €11.5 billion in low-interest loans.The announcement represents a truce in a protracted stand-off between Brussels and Warsaw over controversial judicial reforms, which blocked the plan for more than a year and raised fears of a legal ‘Polexit’.In a bid to break the impasse and comply with the Commission’s demands, Warsaw has agreed to make partial changes to the reforms, including by replacing the disciplinary regime of judges, deemed illegal by the European Court of Justice, with a new “Chamber of Professional Responsibility.”The revision was introduced by President Andrzej Duda earlier this year and passed the Sejm, the...
