Nearly half of #EU citizens no longer see US as most important #ally, survey shows

Source: https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/11/28/nearly-half-of-eu-citizens-no-longer-see-us-as-most-important-ally-survey-shows

The most US-sceptical country was #Belgium, with only 43% of people considering the US their prominent #military partner, while #Poland had the highest pro-US rate (65%).

Now the legitimate #question arises as to whether European politicians are capable of an independent foreign policy at all, given that for decades they have only acted as willing vassals of the US? In the #EU, it is already difficult to reach compromises on domestic #policy. There is not even #agreement within the EU on whether #Russia is an #enemy.

Nearly half of EU citizens no longer see US as most important ally

A new survey reveals EU citizens are growing more and more US-sceptic, and think it's time for the bloc to pursue its own foreign policy and reduce ties with Washington. #EuropeInMotion

#Brazil reaches a $23 billion settlement with #mining firms over a 2015 environmental #disaster

“The #Mariana #agreement signed this Friday in Brazil demonstrates that, after 9 years of negligence, the mining companies have finally decided to react to the pressure from public opinion and the #trial in #England, which began last Monday,” the #law firm said in a statement. “Even so, the amounts defined are far from covering the profound losses suffered by the victims, who continue to fight for #justice and full reparations.”

Here is a better solution to dealing with protestors

Brown University has reached a deal with the group that launched a pro-Palestinian encampment last week, Brown Divest Coalition.

In exchange for students clearing the encampment by 5 p.m. Tuesday and promising not to engage in unauthorized protests through the rest of the semester, administrators have agreed to bring a divestment proposal to a vote at the Brown Corporation Board’s October meeting. The vote will be based on a previous recommendation a now-disbanded advisory body made to the university’s president in 2020.

As a part of the agreement, the university agreed not to expel or suspend students or faculty members, based on what the University knows about their participation at this time.

That section of the agreement reads, “No member of the Brown community—including faculty, staff, graduate students, undergraduate students, or alumni—found to have been involved in the encampment or related activity will face retaliation from the University, including termination of employment or reduction in compensation.”

Global #warming has exceeded 1.5C across an entire year for the first time.

source: https://plantbasednews.org/news/environment/worlds-first-year-long-breach-limit/

This year-long breach does not mean that the world has broken the #Paris #Climate #Agreement #limit, but it does bring it closer to doing so in the longer term. The 1.5C limit is a legally binding 2015 treaty with 195 signatories to set out a path for dealing with climate change.

The #EU - #Tunisia #Memorandum of Understanding: A Blueprint for #Cooperation on #Migration?

Source: https://timep.org/2023/10/19/the-eu-tunisia-memorandum-of-understanding-a-blueprint-for-cooperation-on-migration/

While vaguely referring to “respect for human rights,” the #MoU does not specify how the Commission intends to ensure compliance with fundamental rights. Concerns over the #agreement led the European Ombudsman—a body of the EU that investigates instances of maladministration by EU institutions—to ask the EU’s executive arm whether it had conducted a human rights impact assessment before its conclusion, as well as if it intended to monitor its implementation, and if it envisaged the suspension of funding if human rights were not respected.

On July 16, 2023, a memorandum of understanding, known as the “migrant deal”, was signed between the EU and Tunisia, at a time when the EU is trying to find ways to limit the arrival of irregular migrants into its territory. The memorandum,...

The signing of the peace agreement on Wednesday follows a week of negotiations and two years of fighting. The armed conflict in #Ethiopia pits forces aligned with Ethiopia’s federal #government against those affiliated with Tigray’s regional government led by the #Tigray People’s Liberation Front ( #TPLF).

Amid the #conflict, #millions of civilians have been #displaced, while thousands of #people have been #killed due to ethnic violence. The region has been largely cut off from the outside #world, and so #humanitarian #aid has also been #denied to millions of people in Tigray.

#DigitalServicesAct: Council and European #Parliament provisional #agreement for making the #internet a safer space for European citizens

For online platforms and interfaces covered by the DSA, the co-legislators have agreed to prohibit misleading interfaces known as ‘dark patterns’ and practices aimed at misleading users.

I'm curious if they can manage this or if we will have to click away more warnings in the future before we are allowed to look at the #website.

#COP26 - Actionable #Climate #Science for Policymakers

That is well above the goals of the #Paris climate #agreement and would lead to catastrophic changes in the Earth’s climate. To keep global #warming below 1.5°C this century, the aspirational goal of the Paris Agreement, the world needs to halve annual #greenhouse gas #emissions in the next eight years.
