EU will regret making farmers scapegoats for climate change

Eoin Drea is senior research officer at the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies.Wasn’t the war in Ukraine — and the soaring supermarket bills that followed — supposed to make food security a top priority for the European Union?On a jaunt to the Global Food Security Summit in 2022, even European Council President Charles Michel noted that the need for stable food supplies was “the major global challenge today . . . and now is the time for all of us to translate our political commitments into concrete action.”Alas, at the EU level, “concrete action” has turned into a euphemism for undermining the very agricultural sector that feeds its citizens. And thanks to the bloc’s determination to position Europe as the global hero of climate action, Brussels is well on its way to alienating and impoverishing a large part of rural Europe.Setting increasingly ambitious environmental targets from the comfort of haute cuisine Brussels is one thing. But navigating the fraught local realitie...

Boris Johnson fumbles the Trump playbook

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:22:03 GMT

LONDON — “Britain Trump” may have a long wait on his hands if he’s going to stage the kind of comeback dreamed of by the former American president. Boris Johnson’s exit did nothing to discourage comparisons with its blasts at the “kangaroo court” of lawmakers whose verdict sealed his fate, condemning the committee which judged him to have lied to parliament as a “witch hunt” seeking “revenge for Brexit.”But while Monday’s debate in the House of Commons on the committee’s findings could have presented a crunch moment, with MPs forced to decide whether or not they would condemn or back their former leader, it has instead been deflated as Johnson told his loyal supporters Friday not to bother opposing the verdict. Johnson himself, the Sunday Times reported, will spend the day celebrating his 59th birthday far away in Oxfordshire.While Donald Trump pursues the narrative of martyrdom at every available opportunity, for now at least, Johnson...

CAMBRIDGE – Not only did the Lexington girls tennis team win their second consecutive state tennis title, but the boys team also put the meaning of “clean sweep” to rest as well.Lexington (25-0) finished off an improbable unblemished run to the finals with a 5-0 shutout over Division 1 juggernaut Brookline moments after the girls picked up their state title on the same duPont Tennis Courts on the campus of MIT.The Warriors (23-1) were also unbeaten coming into the contest and were winners of three of the last four state titles, only losing to Acton-Boxboro in 2022 with no recorded winner in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.Joel McCandless was a 6-3, 6-2 winner over Deven Devaiah in No. 1 singles play, while Arindam Bagga made easy work of Peter Khudyakov, 6-3, 6-3. But it was No. 2 Rudr Malayya who held court in a 6-4, 3-6, 10-6 thriller over Dhevin Nahata to help Lexington capture their first state tennis title since 2014.In doubles, Aahan Mehra and Rohan Reddy were vi...

Australia’s Senate votes for holding referendum on Indigenous Voice to Parliament within 6 months

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:22:03 GMT

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s Senate voted Monday to hold a referendum this year on creating an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, an advocate aiming to give the nation’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority more say on government policy.Dozens of mainly Indigenous people stood up the public galleries and clapped when senators passed the referendum bill 52 votes to 19.The Senate vote means the referendum must be held on a Saturday in a two-to-six-month window.While the Voice would advocate for Indigenous interests, it would not have a vote on laws, and debate for and against the elected body has become increasingly heated and divisive.Proponents hope the Voice will improve living standards for Indigenous Australians, who account for 3.2% of Australia’s population and are the most nation’s most disadvantaged ethnic group.If the referendum is passed, it would be Australia’s first successful referendum since 1977 and the first ever to pass without bipartisan support.Oppositio...
