Michai Robertson speaks to the press at COP29, Baku
COP29: Small island states ‘feel abandoned’ as climate talks grind on
BAKU — A key negotiator for small island nations on the frontline of global climate breakdown and sea level rise expressed frustration today at an apparent lack of willingness for rich countries to make a bigger commitment to help.“Across the board, everyone is trying to position themselves to get the best outcome in finance,” Michai Robertson said, suggesting different blocs were using tit-for-tat negotiating tactics in areas such as mitigation, adaptation and transparency.This would be precisely what the chair of the UN body overseeing the talks urged the previous day, when he warned that such brinksmanship could sink the climate finance deal entirely.The lead negotiator on finance for the Alliance of Small Islands States (AOSIS) was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the...

Anders Behring Breivik arrives at the courtroom for day one of the court's processing of Fjotolf Hansen's petition for parole on 19 November 2024
Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik seeks parole for a second time
OSLO — Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in a 2011 bombing and shooting spree, appeared in court on Tuesday seeking parole for a second time.Breivik, 45, has so far served 13 years of a maximum sentence of 21 years in jail, but is eligible for a parole hearing under Norwegian law after 10 years imprisonment.Authorities have said the far-right extremist's parole request should be denied because there is still a "qualified and real" risk that he will commit another serious violent crime if he is released.Arriving at court on Tuesday dressed in a black suit, Breivik displayed the letter “Z” shaved into the side of his head — a symbol associated with Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 — and carried a poster bearing a...

EU member states have agreed to cooperate on air defense
Europe’s landmark new missile, warship projects get cautious industry thumbs-up
BRUSSELS — European pledges to cooperate on missile defense, a next-generation combat vessel and more have received a cautious thumbs-up from industry leaders.The news came on Tuesday, as the main industry lobby group announced a remarkable 17% year-on-year increase in turnover.But the EU’s fledgling defense sector, dwarfed by the likes of the US, still says it needs more long-term certainty to face the threats of the war in Ukraine, and the impact of a second Donald Trump Presidency.Though military spending is normally national, some EU countries want to pool resources – via a set of decisions set to be inked on Tuesday, as defense ministers visit Brussels for a regular meeting of the EU’s Council.“I really support the initiatives that are cross-European," Micael Johansson,...

Spain's King Felipe VI speaks with a woman next to Spain's Queen Letizia, as they visit the area devastated by last month's flooding in Chiva, near Valencia, Spain
Spain's royals return to flood-hit region weeks after being pelted with mud
VALENCIA — Spain's King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia returned on Tuesday to a region devastated by recent catastrophic floods — just two weeks after angry survivors pelted them with mud and shouted profanities at them during their first visit to the disaster zone.There was no mud-flinging this time around as the royal couple visited the town of Chiva, in the province of Valencia, where they shook hands with residents and received applause.However, Spanish media reported that Valencia's regional president, Carlos Mazón, who accompanied the royals, was the target of complaints and heckles by many local citizens.Mazón and his administration have been widely criticised by the public and opposition politicians for a slow and chaotic response to the flooding in late October.Chiva, a...

The changes were proposed in September and approved on Tuesday
Putin signs new doctrine lowering threshold for nuclear weapon use
MOSCOW — Vladimir Putin has approved changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine, setting out new conditions under which the country would consider using its arsenal.The doctrine now says an attack from a non-nuclear state, if backed by a nuclear power, will be treated as a joint assault on Russia.The update was proposed in September and rubber-stamped on Tuesday, the 1,000th day of the war with Ukraine.It also follows Washington’s decision on Monday to allow Ukraine to fire long-range US missiles into Russia.Under the changes, a large attack on Russia with conventional missiles, drones or aircraft could meet the criteria for a nuclear response, as could an attack on Belarus or any critical threat to Russia's sovereignty.Any aggression against Russia by a state which is a member of a...

Abkhazia's president resigns after mass protests over 'pro-Moscow' property deal
SUKHUMI — Abkhazian President Aslan Bzhania has resigned following widespread protests against an investment deal, which opponents claim would increase Russian influence in the region.Demonstrators in the capital, Sukhumi, stormed government buildings on 15 November, forcing Bzhania to flee and plunging the self-declared republic into political turmoil.Protesters occupying government buildings have been given until Tuesday to leave the premises under the terms of a deal negotiated between the government and the opposition.President Bzhania has warned that he will retract his resignation if the protesters do not comply with the agreement. He also made his participation in the upcoming presidential elections a condition for his resignation.Prime Minister Alexander Ankvab has also confirmed...

Chancellor Karl Nehammer
Austria's three-party coalition begins to take shape without the far-right
VIENNA — A preliminary decision was made on Monday for a governing coalition in Austria — one that will exclude the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ).Although the FPÖ won the national election in September with around 29% of the vote, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen gave the runner-up, Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer of the center-right People's Party (ÖVP), the mandate to form a government as no party was willing to work together with the FPÖ and its party head Herbert Kickl.After several rounds of exploratory talks, Nehammer announced a proposed coalition with the Social Democrats (SPÖ) and Liberals (NEOS). It would be the first time Austria forms a three-party coalition."At the same time, I would like to make it clear that we have not yet reached the goal of a...

The US has approved the use of ATACMS missiles against targets inside Russia (file photo)
Russia vows 'tangible' response if US missiles used against its territory
MOSCOW — Russia says the use of US long-range missiles by Ukraine will lead to "an appropriate and tangible" response.Such an attack inside Russian territory "would represent the direct involvement of the United States and its satellites in hostilities against Russia", a foreign ministry statement said.President Joe Biden approved the use of the missiles on targets in Russia in a major change of US policy — two months before he is due to leave the White House.It is not clear if his successor, President-elect Donald Trump, was consulted or whether he will stick by the decision, having promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war.Ukraine has had US ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) with a range of 300km (190 miles) — as well as French and British Storm Shadow missiles...

The C-Lion submarine telecommunications cable being laid to the bottom of the Baltic Sea off the shore of Helsinki, Finland, on October 12, 2015
Two undersea cables in Baltic Sea disrupted, sparking warnings of possible ‘hybrid warfare’
HELSINKI — Two undersea internet cables in the Baltic Sea have been suddenly disrupted, according to local telecommunications companies, amid fresh warnings of possible Russian interference with global undersea infrastructure.A communications cable between Lithuania and Sweden was cut on Sunday morning around 10:00 a.m. local time, a spokesperson from telecommunications company Telia Lithuania confirmed to CNN.The company’s monitoring systems could tell there was a cut due to the traffic disruption, and that the cause was likely physical damage to the cable itself, Telia Lithuania spokesperson Audrius Stasiulaitis told CNN. “We can confirm that the internet traffic disruption was not caused by equipment failure but by physical damage to the fiber optic cable.”Another cable linking...
