It offers them a Mastercard payment card and a mobile app enabling them to pay, get paid, save money or even get discounts on their favourite brands. \n\nOne of the many reasons for the success of the child-centred financial tech industry is its ability to keep up with the changing times. \n\nChildren today are given easier access than ever to purchase goods: From microtransactions in gaming to buying media on subscription services, children are faced with countless options for how to spend money online. \n\nHill said this was one of the key inspirations behind founding GoHenry \u2013 finding herself \u201ctrying to explain to my children that by clicking the download button on iTunes they were spending money\u201d. \n\n\u201cThey just didn\u2019t understand it, and the move to cashless and the acceleration of online shopping in the pandemic has just accelerated the problem\u201d. \n\nHerein lies the secret of the platform\u2019s success: As opposed to the traditional \u201cpocket money\u201d where children would receive a sum of cash money every week, it allows kids to keep up with the evolving financial world. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s vital that we educate our children about money \u2013 by that, I mean having an understanding of budgeting, the value of money and what a bank is, what a loan is, and what a credit card is for example,\u201d Amy Goodall-Smith, founder of Goodall-Smith Wealth Management, told Euronews Next. \n\n\u201cTo unpick that yourself is a huge responsibility to put on a young person's shoulders. I think there's an element of responsibility in education. But it has to also come with the parents \u2013 a lot of that is through showing\u201d. \n\nApps like GoHenry emphasise showing children the value of money through visualisation \u2013 whether it be money pots or games they can play to learn about finance. \n\nFledgling financial literacy \n\nDespite this industry's relative success over the last decade, it raises the question of where children should receive their financial education \u2013 and more importantly who from? \n\nSome may argue that it is unethical to place the responsibility on private and profit-focused companies to educate younger generations about wealth and savings. \n\nAccording to the Bank of England, \u201cyoung people get their financial education from various sources \u2013 including at school and in the home. But provision can vary between schools, and some parents feel more comfortable than others talking to their children about money\u201d. \n\nHowever, as it stands, the British education system alone fails to equip children and young people with adequate financial literacy \u2013 with Hill going as far as to describe it as a \u201cgaping hole\u201d that needs filling. \n\nIf left unaddressed, poor financial literacy caused by inadequate education can lead to crippling debt and money issues in the future \u2013 an issue highlighted by Goodall-Smith. \n\nUltimately, the emergence of child-focused fintech companies highlights a deeper issue around how confident we are with our own money. \n\nA 2020 survey by the UK\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) highlighted that 30 per cent of adults felt that they had low financial knowledge. \n\nGoHenry and similar financial education services are, to some extent, filling the vacuum left by the lack of financial literacy caused by the British education system \u2013 offering parents the tools to educate their children about the value of money in an engaging way. \n\nVery young customers \n\nHowever, as with every private company, these child-based fintech apps need to make money from somewhere. GoHenry, for example, has opted for a subscription-based model in order to remain sustainable. \n\nBut concerns can be raised over whether this subscription model could exasperate wage disparity and leave working-class students at a disadvantage \u2013 locking out this demographic from valuable knowledge as opposed to their peers from wealthier families. \n\nIn response, Hill argued that it was very important that they make their service accessibly priced at just \u00a32.99 (\u20ac3.53) per month for \u201cexactly that reason\u201d \u2013 stating that a significant proportion of GoHenry\u2019s userbase are from lower-income households, as well as very high-income households. \n\nTricia Beaumont, Communications Manager at Hyperjar \u2013 a debit card and money app, with kids\u2019 options that are subscription-free \u2013 takes a different approach. Instead, Hyperjar offers a separate tab in the app which sells data to sponsored companies, offering deals to customers. \n\nWhile this is a better solution for those who may not be able to afford a subscription fee, it also poses the question of whether it\u2019s ethical to market products to children through a child-friendly money education platform. \n\nWhile Beaumont admits that \u201cfinancial literacy is generally pretty poor in the UK\u201d, Hyperjar is a \u201csimple way of visualising money\u201d rather than a substitute for education. \n\n\u201cI don\u2019t think we take it upon ourselves to educate kids about money. What we do incredibly well is provide kids with the tools to start managing their money and feeling in control \u2013 understanding those basic money lessons,\u201d she said. \n\nBeating the banks \n\nThe surge in popularity of these services also raises the question of why traditional banks, which dwarf these companies in size and infrastructure, haven\u2019t hopped on the trend. \n\nOn founding GoHenry, Hill admits she had that same worry and was \u201cconcerned about the idea of high street banks just coming into the child fintech space, giving it free and blowing us out of the market\u201d. \n\nAs of yet, however, few big-name banks have adopted services specifically targeted towards under 16s. \n\nAccording to Hill, this is because high street banks are \u201cmore focused on their consumer base, how they serve their customers and make money from their customers\u201d. \n\n\u201cThey have their business model and they've had a lot of challenges over the past 10 years that they've had to deal with,\u201d she added, \u201cso I think we're focused on what they do \u2013 from our perspective, that's great\u201d. \n\n\u201cMy hunch is they are embracing technology quite slowly due to the data protection and the levels of regulation,\u201d Goodall-Smith added. \n\n\u201cI think we in financial services have to start embracing technology. I believe that we more than ever have to educate ourselves. And the more you're educated, the less chance you have of falling foul of a scam \u2013 the knowledge gives you the confidence and the power to understand what you're doing\u201d.","htmlText":"<p>Is it ever too early to learn about how to handle money?<\/p>\n<p>Child-focused fintech services \u2014 apps and banks designed to educate and teach children about finance \u2014 are on a mission to educate the masses from a very young age.<\/p>\n<p>And they\u2019re growing fast, as technology transforms the way we use money, and select private companies rush to fill a gap in the way we teach our children about finance.<\/p>\n<p>GoHenry is at the cutting edge of this emerging sector, having more than doubled its revenue during the pandemic to $42 million (\u20ac41.6 million) in 2021 and amassed a consumer base of over 2 million in the UK and US.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the firm is hoping to conquer continental Europe with its acquisition of Pixpay, a leader in teen banking in France and Spain with nearly 200,000 members.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hugely excited to help further our mission to make every kid and teen smarter wth money,\u201d Louise Hill, cofounder of GoHenry told Euronews Next.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt allows us to expand into Europe for the first time and accelerate our growth\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>Gamified piggy bank<\/h2><p>Launched in 2012, GoHenry is a financial education app and prepaid debit card targeted at 6-18 year-olds, featuring \u201cgamified money lessons\u201d with parental oversight.<\/p>\n<p>Pixpay, meanwhile, offers an alternative to banks for children as young as 10.

over\u00a0124,000 documents spanning the period between 2013 and 2017\u00a0\u2013were first leaked to the British newspaper The Guardian and were then shared with\u00a0 the\u00a0International Consortium of Investigative Journalists \u00a0(ICIJ). \n\nAmong the high-profile characters enmeshed in the controversy is Neelie Kroes, a Dutch liberal politician who served as European Commissioner for a full decade under the leadership of President\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Manuel Dur\u00e3o Barroso. \n\nKroes first held the powerful position of Commissioner\u00a0for Competition between 2004 and 2010, acting as the bloc's top regulator for business mergers, state aid and antitrust investigations. \n\nAt the start of Barroso's second term, she was named Vice-President\u00a0in charge of digital agenda, a post\u00a0 she used to promote non-discriminatory Internet access, a new cyber-security strategy and the creation of digital jobs for the millions of Europeans who were unemployed in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. \n\nKroes left her Brussels job in November 2014, when the whole college of commissioners was renewed after the European Parliament held elections and Jean-Claude Juncker arrived at the helm of the executive. \n\nAccording to the Uber Files, the following year, Kroes asked the European Commission for special permission to take up a well-paid position on the Uber advisory board. \n\n'Her name should never figure on a document' \n\nFor Kroes, getting the green light from Brussels was an indispensable step because the job offer surfaced during the so-called \"cooling-off\" period. \n\nThis interval prevents former top EU officials from engaging in professional activities, paid or unpaid, that entail \"lobbying or advocacy vis-\u00e0-vis\" the Commission and its multiple services. \n\nAt the time Kroes put forward the request, the period was set at 18 months after leaving office.\u00a0The period was later extended to two years for commissioners and three years for the president. \n\nWhen the job offer under consideration involves activities related to the Commissioner's former portfolio, the request has to be examined by an independent ethics committee. The three-person panel issues a non-binding opinion which helps the college of commissioners make a final decision on the issue. \n\nThe Uber Files indicate Kroes received a negative response from the committee in late 2015 and that she personally pleaded with then-President Juncker to obtain the necessary dispensation, an effort that also failed. \n\nThe information was confirmed by a Commission spokesperson. \n\n\"In November 2015, the Committee recommended not to authorise the activity (an analysis shared by the Secretariat-General of the Commission at the time),\" the spokesperson told Euronews. \n\n\"Subsequently, President Juncker informed Ms Kroes of these developments and asked her to withdraw her notification. Ms Kroes eventually withdrew her notification in December 2015.\" \n\nHowever, the leaks reveal that, throughout the cooling-off period, Kroes tried to lobby the Dutch government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte to have the police \"back off\" from an investigation into Uber's Amsterdam office. \n\n\"Our relationship with NK [Neelie Kroes] is highly confidential,\" wrote Mark MacGann, Uber's chief lobbyist in Europe at the time, in an email to his colleagues, leaked as part of the Uber Files.\u00a0\"Her name should never figure on a document.\" \n\nThe email was dated March 2015, just four months into the former commissioner's 18-month-long cooling-off period, suggesting a rapport closer than previously known. \n\nIn May 2016, when the period was near expiration, Kroes told an Uber executive that she was trying to arrange a meeting between the company and an unnamed EU Commissioner. The leaks also show she helped Uber meet with Rutte himself. \n\nIn response to the allegations, Kroes denied any wrongdoing. \n\n\"Consistent with my ethical duties as a former European Commissioner, I did not have any formal nor informal role at Uber before May 2016,\" she told The Guardian. \n\nOnce the time limitations were lifted, Kroes took up the position at the Uber advisory board, with a reported\u00a0$200,000 annual salary. She left the board in 2018. \n\n\"Since this period, we have implemented new guidelines for our teams in Europe, which govern lobbying and external engagements with policymakers, strengthening our requirements and oversight of those activities,\" Uber said in a statement. \n\nA Commission spokesperson said the executive had sent Kroes a letter demanding clarifications about her actions and noted it was too early to draw further conclusions. \n\n'Laissez-faire approach to revolving doors' \n\nBeyond the charges levelled at Kroes herself, the latest revelations raise serious questions about the European Commission's code of conduct, its effectiveness and its overly flexible application. \n\nThe code, amended for the last time in 2018 , compels commissioners to \"devote themselves fully\" to their duties, respect the \"dignity\" of their office and avoid any potential conflicts of interest.\u00a0It prohibits external professional activities for the duration of their mandates and restricts participation in national politics. \n\nImportantly, the code bounds commissioners to Article 245 of the EU treaties, which commands \"integrity and discretion\" in their behaviour\u00a0\u2013 both during and after their term of office. \n\nThe cooling-off period adds a new layer of responsibility designed to mitigate the phenomenon of revolving doors: EU Commissioners have access to confidential and highly sensitive information, as well as first-hand knowledge of the machinations and power balance that shape EU politics. \n\nThese insights make commissioners the first target of lobbyists, consultants and other business associations trying to advance their interests in Brussels and secure concessions from policymakers. \n\nCivil society organisations have for years raised the alarm about the scale and frequency of this trade-off and the extremely fine line walked between the public and private sectors. \n\nSince October 2014 , Brussels has green-lighted over 130 professional petitions from Commissioners during their cooling-off periods. A handful of requests were filed while the officials were still in office. \n\nIn the case of Kroes, a former Commissioner in charge of digital regulation, the revelations about her alleged connections with Uber, a digital company, constitute a \"shocking expos\u00e9,\" says Vicky Cann, a researcher at Corporate Europe Observatory, a non-profit organisation that monitors corporate lobbying in EU policy-making. \n\n\"A Commissioner\u2019s responsibility to act with 'integrity and discretion' is not time-limited, and should have prevented this scandal,\" Cann said in a statement. \n\n\"Meanwhile the case also illuminates the laissez-faire approach of the Commission to revolving doors and conflicts of interest.\" \n\nTransparency International was equally critical \u00a0about the \"clandestine lobbying\" and called for an urgent probe to shed light on the allegations and the potential breach of Article 245. \n\n\"What the Kroes scandal makes clear once again is that the current self-policing system of ethics for present and former Commissioners isn\u2019t fit for purpose,\" the organisation said. \n\nProblematic appointments \n\nThe Uber Files are another chapter in a long list of dubious and problematic appointments that have seen former Commissioners take up lucrative opportunities in the private sector shortly after leaving office. \n\nFor instance, public records show the Commission authorised a total of 15 requests from G\u00fcnther Oettinger \u2013 who served as a Commissioner from 2014 to 2019 \u2013 during his two-year cooling-off period. \n\nThese included positions at the German branch of Deloitte, the strategic communications firm Kekst CNC and the real estate company\u00a0CG Elementum AG. \n\nOettinger even launched his own consulting firm\u00a0\u2013 \"Oettinger Consulting\"\u00a0\u2013, which he registered before receiving the executive's final approval. \n\nFollowing an opinion from the ethics committee that noted the company's scope was \"very broad and unspecified,\" the Commission endorsed the enterprise but established a series of obligations and restrictions to ensure\u00a0Oettinger refrained from exploiting confidential information or lobbying top officials. \n\nThe case of Jos\u00e9 Manuel Dur\u00e3o Barroso attracted more attention and criticism. \n\nThe former Commission president made headlines in July 2016 when he was appointed non-executive chairman of Goldman Sachs International (GSI). \n\nAlthough the assignment took place at the end of Barroso's cooling-off period, the news sparked outrage in and outside Brussels. French President Fran\u00e7ois Hollande called it \"morally unacceptable\" while MEPs asked the European Ombudsman for an inquiry into what they saw as a revolving door scandal. \n\nThe Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, later said Barroso's move caused \"serious public disquiet\" and undermined the public image of the EU institutions. She also asked the ethics committee to re-examine the case. \n\nFor his part, Barroso blamed the outrage on Europe's \"negative attitude\" against \"everything\u00a0that comes from the United States of America.\" \n\nNeelie Kroes now finds herself under similar scrutiny. \n\nAccording to the records, the Commission authorised three requests made by Kroes during her cooling-off period: special adviser to Bank of America Merrill Lynch,\u00a0non-executive member of the management board of the Open Data Institute, and special envoy for start-up companies in the Netherlands. \n\nThe three positions were approved by the executive, provided Kroes respected the \"protection of collective responsibility and confidentiality\" related to the matters she covered in her two terms as Commissioner. \n\nSpeaking to The Guardian , Kroes defended her job as start-up envoy and dismissed fears of overlap, saying she was \"required to interact with a wide array of business, government and non-governmental entities, with the aim to promote a business-friendly and welcoming ecosystem in the Netherlands.\" \n\nIn 2015, Uber enjoyed a valuation that exceeded $50 billion, a pipe dream for a start-up. \n\nThe Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs neither confirmed nor denied reports that Kroes pushed the government to advance Uber's interests in the country.\u00a0 \n\n\"It is not part of the Special Envoy's responsibilities to approach ministers or senior officials in favour of large corporations,\" a spokesperson from the ministry told Euronews. \n\nThe Commission\u00a0said the ethics committee's negative opinion about Kroes's attempt to join the Uber advisory board could not be made public because she withdrew her notification before the full process ended. \n\nIn a letter addressed to President Juncker and leaked by the Uber Files , Kroes expressed her disappointment and frustration regarding the committee's rejection. \n\n\"It is my opinion,\" she wrote to the president, \"that only a revision of the Code of Conduct could confirm the strict, but unlawful, interpretation made by the Ad hoc Ethical Committee.\"","htmlText":"<p>A new scandal of revolving doors

href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.theguardian.com//news//2022//jul//10//former-eu-digital-chief-neelie-kroes-secretly-helped-uber-lobby-dutch-pm-leak-suggests/">Speaking to The Guardian<\/strong><\/a>, Kroes defended her job as start-up envoy and dismissed fears of overlap, saying she was \"required to interact with a wide array of business, government and non-governmental entities, with the aim to promote a business-friendly and welcoming ecosystem in the Netherlands.\"<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, Uber enjoyed a valuation that exceeded $50 billion, a pipe dream for a start-up.<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs neither confirmed nor denied reports that Kroes pushed the government to advance Uber&#039;s interests in the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\"It is not part of the Special Envoy&#039;s responsibilities to approach ministers or senior officials in favour of large corporations,\" a spokesperson from the ministry told Euronews.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission\u00a0said the ethics committee&#039;s negative opinion about Kroes&#039;s attempt to join the Uber advisory board could not be made public because she withdrew her notification before the full process ended.<\/p>\n<p>In a letter addressed to President Juncker and <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.icij.org//investigations//uber-files//key-people-in-uber-files//?neelie-kroes\%22>leaked by the Uber Files<\/strong><\/a>, Kroes expressed her disappointment and frustration regarding the committee&#039;s rejection.<\/p>\n<p>\"It is my opinion,\" she wrote to the president, \"that only a revision of the Code of Conduct could confirm the strict, but unlawful, interpretation made by the Ad hoc Ethical

seagrass at the bottom of the ocean, to replace the once lush beds that carpeted the seafloor. \n\nAn estimated 90 per cent of underwater meadows has been lost at Vejle Fjord, on Jutland's east coast, over the last 30 years. This is because of years of degradation due to wastewater pollution from farms and households. \n\nAs part of a five-year project, run by the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), volunteer divers are working on restoring the seagrass beds and the wildlife that once thrived among them. \n\n\u201cThe eelgrass, or the seagrass, is fundamental to life in Vejle Fjord and our inner seas in Denmark,\" explains Mads Fjeldsoe Christensen, a biologist and project manager from local authority Vejle Kommune. \"It's like a nursery for the small fishes. It's like the forests of the sea.\" \n\nWhy seagrass is essential for the marine environment \n\nThe more than 70 species of seagrasses are among the most poorly protected, yet make up many of the world\u2019s coastal habitats. They can capture and store carbon better than any other plant. Seagrass sequestration of carbon is 35 times faster than the rainforest - it's an incredible carbon sink. \n\n\"We know that the fixation of carbon is just as much as it is in the rainforest of Brazil, so there is a huge potential,\" says Fjeldsoe Christensen. \n\nOne scientific estimate even says an acre (which is just over half the size of a football field) of seagrass can sequester 335 kg of carbon per year. That\u2019s the same amount emitted by a car travelling 6,212 kilometres. \n\nSeagrass is also essential for wildlife that use the underwater forests as a habitat. \n\nHowever, seagrass meadows are threatened by coastal development, overfishing, runoff from farm waste, and the growing threat of climate change. \n\nThey have declined roughly 7 per cent annually since the 1990s. \n\nThe first project of its kind to save underwater meadows in Denmark \n\nSpreading the seeds underwater didn't work, so this project is hoping to restore what's lost by planting new seagrass shoots individually by hand. \n\nThe project has been running for three years. This year, they invited volunteer divers to lend a hand. \n\nThe team takes surviving grass from remaining beds, then volunteers wrap individual shoots around a degradable iron nail onshore, so divers can easily pin them to the sea floor. \n\nAnd they are already seeing some success - at a similar project in a nearby fjord, after little more than two years, plant density grew 70 times higher and fields with transplants extended by approximately 30 per cent. \n\nWatch the video above to see how divers are planting seagrass under the water.","htmlText":"<p>Divers in Denmark are hand-planting seagrass at the bottom of the ocean, to replace the once lush beds that carpeted the seafloor.<\/p>\n<p>An estimated 90 per cent of underwater meadows has been lost at Vejle Fjord, on Jutland&#039;s east coast, over the last 30 years.

For others, it means nearly getting heat stroke on a sweltering morning commute. \n\nBut whether you\u2019re sunbathing on vacation or trapped in the office, there\u2019s a podcast to soundtrack your summer. Here are the nine of the best, compiled by the Euronews Culture team. \n\nUnreal: A Critical History of Reality TV \n\nWhether you're a reality TV obsessive or a Love Island addict, this 10 part series is the podcast for you. \n\nJournalists Pandora Sykes and Sirin Kale meticulously track the wild history of the genre, from smash hits like Big Brother and Keeping up with Kardashians to the ethically questionable \u201cThere\u2019s something about Miriam.\u201d \n\n\nThe pair speak with more than 60 experts, producers and contestants to explore the genre\u2019s past - and where it's likely to go in the future. \n\nWild Things: Siegfried and Roy \n\nIn 2003, a tiger mauled German illusionist Roy Horn during a magic show, nearly killing him in front of a live audience. \n\nThat near-death experience is the starting point for this eight-part exploration into the 30 year career of Roy and magic partner, Siegfried. Go \u2018behind the velvet curtain\u2019 and delve into the lives of these beloved - and reviled - eccentrics, who performed 30,000 shows for 50 million people. \n\nExpect wild parties, animal-theft, and an attempted shooting. \n\nThe Antidote \n\n\u201cThe world is a dumpster fire,\u201d declare Amy Aniobi and Grace Edwards, best friends and scriptwriters for the \u201cInsecure\u201d HBO series. \n\nTheir answer? A joyous celebration of culture and activities that make them happy. In each weekly episode , they recap some \u201cbummer news,\u201d and then explore antidotes - anything to keep you from doomscolling. \n\n\nRob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe's 'Parenting Hell' \n\nFor some people, summer means long evenings and picnics in the park. For parents, it means a lot of time spent with kids. \n\nStay sane by listening to \u2018Parenting Hell,\u2019 a podcast exploring the trials and tribulations of modern parenthood. \n\nOriginally a form of \u2018therapy\u2019 for comedians Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe, the podcast promises \u201cparenting....just not as you know it...\u201d. Crammed with funny anecdotes and \u2018been-there\u2019 moments, it has become one of the most popular podcasts on the web. \n\nDead Eyes \n\nWhat\u2019s the worst reason you\u2019ve ever been sacked ? \n\nIn 2003, actor and comedian Connor Ratliff lost a role in the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries Band of Brothers because Tom Hanks thought he had \u201cdead eyes.\u201d \n\nTwo decades on, Ratliff searches for an explanation - and ends up interviewing Hanks himself. \n\nSounds Like a Cult \n\nWhat do multilevel marketers, theatre kids, and Elon Musk fans have in common? \n\nAll of them, according to the podcast Sounds Like a Cult, are a bit, well, cultish. \n\nIn each episode, Amanda Montell & Isabela Medina-Mat\u00e9 analyse a different group to try and answer the big question: \u201cThis group sounds like a cult, but is it really? And if so, how bad is it?\u201d \n\nIn Our Time \n\nOn this long-running podcast, broadcaster Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the history of ideas - including topics drawn from philosophy, science, history, religion, and culture. Fascinating discussions range from the birth of stars, to Nietzsche, and the Amazons.\u00a0 \n\nFeel Better, Live More with Dr Rangan Chatterjee \n\n\u201cHealth has become overcomplicated. I aim to simplify it,\u201d declares Dr Rangan Chatterjee, host of this popular health podcast. \n\nFrom gut health to mindfulness, each episode offers expert advice and easy life-hacks to help you feel better.\u00a0It promises to revolutionise how you \u2018eat, sleep, and move\u2019\u00a0 \n\nGastropod \n\nThis podcast delivers \" food with a side of science and history.\" In fortnightly episodes, co-hosts Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley explore the hidden history and surprising science behind a different food-related topic, from microbes to ancient feasts.\u00a0 \n\nEver wondered how coffee became the world's drug of choice, or who invented chewing gum? Then this is the podcast for you.","htmlText":"<p>With the mercury rising all over Europe, summer is in full swing.<\/p>\n<p>For some people, that signals beach-side holidays, long evenings, and time off.

Monday in Bosnia as thousands gathered to commemorate the anniversary of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre -- Europe's only genocide since the Holocaust. \n\nThe remains of 47 men and three teenage boys were laid to rest at a memorial cemetery on the outskirts of Srebrenica, 27 years after they were murdered. They join more than 6,600 other massacre victims already interred there. \n\nIdriz Mustafi\u0107 attended the collective funeral to bury the partial remains of his son, Salim. He was 16 when he was killed in Srebrenica in July 1995 while trying to flee the town as it was overrun by Bosnian Serb forces in the closing months of Bosnia's 1992-95 war. \n\n\"My older son, Enis, was also killed. We buried him in 2005. Now I am burying Salim,\" Mustafi\u0107 said. \n\n\"[Forensic experts] have not found his skull. My wife got cancer and had to undergo surgery, we just couldn't wait any longer to bury the bones that we found, to at least know where their graves are,\" he added. \n\n'It's easier when you have a grave to visit' \n\nThe Srebrenica killings were the bloody crescendo of Bosnia's war, which was the result\u00a0of the breakup of Yugoslavia unleashing nationalistic passions and territorial ambitions that set the three main ethnic groups in the country -- Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats -- against each other. \n\nIn July 1995, Bosnian Serb forces overran the United Nations-protected safe area of Srebrenica, at the time almost exclusively populated by Bosniaks from the city and neighbouring villages who sought refuge there. \n\nThe Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS) troops separated at least 8,000 Bosniak men and boys from their wives, mothers and sisters, summarily executing them on-site or in neighbouring towns over the course of three days. \n\nSome who tried to escape were chased through woods around the town, rounded up and murdered. \n\nThe perpetrators then ploughed their victims' bodies into hastily made mass graves. Some of those were later dug up with bulldozers, scattering the remains among other burial sites to hide the evidence of their war crimes.\u00a0 \n\nDuring the process, the half-decomposed remains were ripped apart. Body parts, sometimes as small as a finger bone, are still being found in mass graves around Srebrenica -- but also in other areas of the country -- and are being put together and identified through painstaking DNA analysis. \n\nWhen the remains are identified, they are returned to their relatives and reburied in the memorial centre and cemetery just outside Srebrenica each 11 July \u2014 the anniversary of the day the killings began in 1995. \n\nMana Ademovi\u0107, who lost her husband and many other male relatives in the massacre, was among those attending Monday's commemoration ceremonies in Srebrenica. Ademovi\u0107 found her husband's partial remains and reburied him years ago but said she \"must be in Srebrenica every 11 July\". \n\n\"It is easier when you have a grave to visit, no matter how many bones are buried inside,\" she said while sitting among the graves at the vast and still-expanding memorial cemetery, hugging her husband's white marble headstone. \n\nDutch diplomat apologises over UN peacekeepers' role \n\nIn the last two years, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, only a relatively small number of survivors were allowed to attend the annual commemoration service and collective funeral of the victims in Srebrenica. But with restrictions lifted, tens of thousands attended Monday, including many diplomats and dignitaries. \n\nAddressing the commemoration ceremony ahead of the funeral, the Dutch Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren apologized to the Srebrenica survivors for the Dutch UN peacekeepers' failure to prevent the 1995 massacre. \n\n\"The international community failed to offer adequate protection to the people of Srebrenica and, as part of that community, the Dutch government shares responsibility for the situation in which that failure occurred and for this we offer our deepest apologies,\" Ollongren said. \n\nThe Dutch peacekeepers' battalion, or Dutchbat, was tasked by the UN\u00a0to protect the civilians within the Srebrenica safe area.\u00a0 \n\nHowever, due to a lack of coordination with the UNPROFOR leadership and fear of entering into an open conflict with the Bosnian Serb forces, the peacekeepers allowed the VRS to commit the crimes in July 1995. \n\nThe Srebrenica killings were the only event of the Bosnian war to be legally defined as genocide. The war itself left over 100,000 dead.\u00a0 \n\n'Momentous significance for all who have a conscience' \n\nSince the end of the war, the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague and courts in the Balkans have sentenced close to 50 Bosnian Serb wartime officials \u2014 including their wartime leader Radovan Karad\u017ei\u0107 and his military commander, Ratko Mladi\u0107 \u2014 to more than 700 years in prison for the Srebrenica killings. \n\nAt the ICTY, both Karad\u017ei\u0107 and Mladi\u0107 received maximum sentences of life in prison for genocide and other war crimes. \n\nHowever, despite the irrefutable evidence of what happened collected by international UN-led teams and domestic experts alike, most Serb leaders in Bosnia and neighbouring Serbia continue to downplay or even deny the Srebrenica massacre and celebrate Karad\u017ei\u0107 and Mladi\u0107 as heroes. \n\nMenachem Rosensaft, the general counsel of the World Jewish Congress, also addressed the mourners Monday.\u00a0 \n\nHe said the commemoration of the Srebrenica genocide was of \"momentous significance for all who care about international human rights, for all who have a conscience.\" \n\nRosensaft said it was \"critical\" for the international community to formally commemorate the Srebrenica genocide every 11 July \"not just out of respect for its victims, but as a public countermeasure to the repeated efforts to deny this genocide.\"","htmlText":"<p>Fifty newly identified victims were honoured and interred on Monday in Bosnia as thousands gathered to commemorate the anniversary of the 1995 Srebrenica massacre -- Europe&#039;s only genocide since the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>The remains of 47 men and three teenage boys were laid to rest at a memorial cemetery on the outskirts of Srebrenica, 27 years after they were murdered.

year in a row, in part due to the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the latest figures released by Eurostat, the EU. \n\nThe total population of the 27 EU member states fell from 447 million on 1 January 2021 to 446.8 on 1 January 2022, the European statistics office said in a note, a net decline of about 172,000 people. \n\nThe only other time since the 1960s that the EU registered a fall in population was in 2011, but it picked up the following year due to net migration. \n\n\"The negative natural variation (more deaths than births) has not been offset in number by a positive net migration, for the second year in a row, most likely due to the impact of the pandemic,\u201d the institute said. \n\nThe EU has attracted more residents coming from outside the bloc, with a net migration of around 1.06 million people, compared with 800,000 in 2020, it found. Even so, this increase has been insufficient to offset the imbalance between the birth and death rate. \n\nThere were 113,000 more deaths in 2021, compared to 2020, while the birth rate remained almost the same as in the previous year. \n\n\"Given the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic since 2020, the fact that the number of deaths is expected to increase further due to population ageing, and assuming that fertility rates remain at a relatively low level, this negative natural variation could well continue,\" Eurostat experts said. \n\n\"If this is the case, the EU's future population decline or growth will probably depend largely on the contribution made by immigration,\" they said. \n\nThere is a strong disparity between countries. Ten states in the EU saw their populations decrease in 2021, with Italy (-253,100) recording the highest drop. On the other side, 17 countries saw an increase in their populations, led by France (+185,900). \n\nThe population of individual EU member states on 1 January 2022 ranged from 500,000 in Malta to 83.2 million in Germany, with Germany, France and Italy comprising almost half (47%) of the total EU population as of 1 January 2022. \n\nOver a longer period the population of the EU has grown steadily, from 354.5 million in 1960 to 446.8 million on 1 January 2022, an increase of 92.3 million. \n\nHowever, the rate of population growth has slowed in recent decades, with the population growing, on average, by about 0.7 million people per year between 2005\u20132022, compared with an average of around 3 million people a year during the 1960s.","htmlText":"<p>The EU&#039;s population declined in 2021 for the second year in a row, in part due to the lingering effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the latest figures released by Eurostat, the EU.<\/p>\n<p>The total population of the 27 EU member states fell from 447 million on 1 January 2021 to 446.8 on 1 January 2022, the European statistics office said in a note, a net decline of about 172,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>The only other time since the 1960s that the EU registered a fall in population was in 2011, but it picked up the following year due to net migration.<\/p>\n<p>\"The negative natural variation (more deaths than births) has not been offset in number by a positive net migration, for the second year in a row, most likely due to the impact of the pandemic,\u201d the institute said.<\/p>\n<p>The EU has attracted more residents coming from outside the bloc, with a net migration of around 1.06 million people, compared with 800,000 in 2020, it found.

Party leaders are hoping to keep the contest relatively short and civil, a hard ask given the bad blood within different factions of the party over events of the last few months. \n\nCampaigns already under way \n\nCandidates have already released slick campaign videos on social media, and have appeared on political talk shows to try to make their case. Many are promising tax cuts, at a time when the cost of living is sky rocketing in the UK. \n\n\u201cI want to cut all taxes,\u201d said former health secretary Jeremy Hunt, who pledged to slash corporation tax to 15%. \u201cThe Treasury\u2019s own numbers say that you\u2019ll get half the money back that you invest in cutting corporation tax because of increased business activity,\u201d he added. \n\nAmong the many contenders,\u00a0the current frontrunner is Rishi Sunak, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, with other notable names including Nadim Zahawi, who replaced him as chancellor last week, and another former health secretary Sajid Javid. \n\nSunak announced his leadership bid on Friday with a campaign video in which he promised to confront the difficult economic backdrop with \"honesty, seriousness and determination\", rather than piling the burden on future generations. \n\n\"Someone has to grip this moment and make the right decisions,\" he said. \n\nMeanwhile, despite speculation in the party and media, Defence Minister Ben Wallace announced on Saturday that he wouldn\u2019t be running. \n\nLong drawn out race? \n\nOne key decision the 1922 Committee will make today is how many MP backers a candidate will need in order to make the first ballot. During the last leadership contest, in 2019, the threshold was eight, but it is expected to rise to 20 or more this time around, in a move aimed at thinning out the large field more quickly. \n\nThe new leader will be chosen in\u00a0a two-stage election, in which the 358 Conservative lawmakers reduce the race to two candidates through a series of elimination votes.

Many are promising tax cuts, at a time when the cost of living is sky rocketing in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to cut all taxes,\u201d said former health secretary Jeremy Hunt, who pledged to slash corporation tax to 15%. \u201cThe Treasury\u2019s own numbers say that you\u2019ll get half the money back that you invest in cutting corporation tax because of increased business activity,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Among the many contenders,\u00a0the current frontrunner is Rishi Sunak, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, with other notable names including Nadim Zahawi, who replaced him as chancellor last week, and another former health secretary Sajid Javid.<\/p>\n<p>Sunak announced his leadership bid on Friday with a campaign video in which he promised to confront the difficult economic backdrop with \"honesty, seriousness and determination\", rather than piling the burden on future generations.<\/p>\n<p>\"Someone has to grip this moment and make the right decisions,\" he said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, despite speculation in the party and media, Defence Minister Ben Wallace announced on Saturday that he wouldn\u2019t be running.<\/p>\n<h2>Long drawn out race?<\/h2><p>One key decision the 1922 Committee will make today is how many MP backers a candidate will need in order to make the first ballot. During the last leadership contest, in 2019, the threshold was eight, but it is expected to rise to 20 or more this time around, in a move aimed at thinning out the large field more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The new leader will be chosen in\u00a0a two-stage election, in which the 358 Conservative lawmakers reduce the race to two candidates through a series of elimination votes. The final pair will then be put to a postal ballot of all party members across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Under Britain\u2019s parliamentary system the next party leader will automatically become prime

This is now the most likely option,\" Le Maire told attendees at the Rencontres Economiques in Aix-en-Provence. \n\nThis means that \"you also have to prepare load-shedding plans, we are doing it.\" \n\n\"It means looking in a very specific way at each company, each employment area; which are the companies that should reduce their energy consumption and which are the ones that cannot,\" he told reporters. \n\nSome companies could therefore be asked to \"slow down their energy consumption, or even stop their energy consumption for a certain period of time\" while it would be \"totally impossible\" for others to do so without triggering wider industrial repercussions,\" he explained.\u00a0 \n\nPreparing these plans, he then told LCI, is \"all the more\" necessary given France has \"an electricity production this year which is particularly low \u2014 eight (nuclear) reactors are shut down today \u2014 so it is imperative that we put ourselves now, and I mean now, in battle order.\" \n\n'Sobriety' and imagination \n\nThe contingency plans are being developed by Energy Minister Agnes Pannier-Runacher with President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne set to \"decide in the coming weeks,\" Le Maire said. \n\nBut, he emphasised, \"the effort has to be\u00a0shared between the administration, private individuals and companies\" and \"sobriety in our behaviour, sobriety in our energy expenditure\" will be key. \n\nFor the minister, the \"credible\" scenario of Russia completely cutting off energy supplies to the European Union is the impetus the bloc needs to accelerate work towards \"energy independence\". \n\nFrance, he said, should focus on replenishing its stocks and \"build a floating LNG barge off Le Havre in a short time\", speed up the development of renewable energies and build new nuclear reactors.\u00a0 \n\n\"Let us be imaginative. Let's look at what we can do about the development of biogas and alternative energies. Let's remove the regulatory obstacles to all these energies that we need. And here again, let's not be impressed by the nonsense of all those who want to systematically prevent the development of these energies. Because they are not the ones who will have explained to the French that they can no longer heat themselves or light themselves properly next winter, it's us,\" he said.\u00a0 \n\nRussian pressure \n\nHis comments came a day before Nord Stream 1,\u00a0the pipeline that delivers over a third of the EU's imports of Russian gas, shut down for 10 days for maintenance work.\u00a0 \n\nMany fear that Moscow might say it needs more time to carry out the work in order to exert further pressure on the 27 countries that are grappling with a cost of living crisis fuelled by a sharp rise in energy prices over the previous few months. \n\nLast week, a Russian court ordered the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which carries oil from Kazakhstan to the Black Sea through Russian territory, to suspend operations for 30 days citing\u00a0violations of environmental requirements. This came shortly after\u00a0Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, Kazakhstan President, assured EU Council President Charles Michel , that his country was ready to send more oil to the EU. \n\nThe bloc has imposed six rounds of sanctions against Moscow since it launched its invasion on 24 February\u00a0with the aim of crippling the Kremlin's ability to wage war in Ukraine.\u00a0These include coal and oil embargoes \u2014 the latter of which should result in imports from Russia being slashed by about 90% by the end of the year. \n\nEU emergency plan coming \n\nRussian gas, however, has largely been let off the hook although Brussels has pledged to reduce imports by two-thirds by the end of the year. \n\nThe main problem for the EU is\u00a0that unlike Russian oil, which mostly makes its way into the EU on board ships, gas from Russia is primarily delivered by pipeline and the infrastructure to secure alternative supplies \u2014 such as LNG terminals \u2014 is lacking. \n\nMoscow knows that and is already exerting pressure on 12 member states to which it has partially or completely cut off supplies as the EU frantically tries to fill gas storage to at least 80% of capacity before cold temperatures return in a bid to ensure decent supplies over the winter and to keep prices down. \n\nFrance is not the only country working on such load-sharing plans. Germany has also admitted to doing so. \n\nBrussels, meanwhile, is working on an Emergency Energy Reduction Plan that is expected to be unveiled on 20 July to address potential supply disruptions over the coming months.

But now Russia\u2019s invasion had caused the streets of Dvizhon\u2019s city - once famed for its techno scene and hedonistic nightlife - to become deserted. \n\nOn seeing this, Dvizhon knew he needed to do something. \n\n\u201cI was sad,\u201d he says. \n\n\n\u201cI realised that I need to create something as a director.\u201d\n \n\nLGBT+ activism in Ukraine \n\nDvizhon is the creative director of U KRAINEPRIDE , an LGBT+ NGO that promotes LGBT+ rights in Ukraine, as well as fostering a sense of Ukrainian cultural identity. \n\nThe organisation was born four years ago, when a TV show that current president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, starred in aired a homophobic joke. In response, Dvizhon and his colleagues protested outside TV station offices in Kyiv. \n\nAlready an experienced filmmaker, Dvizhon decided to turn his attention to supporting his community in Ukraine. \n\n\n\u201cI see that in Ukraine, as a director, I can change a lot with my activism,\u201d he explains. \n\n\n\u201cI\u2019m trying to change stereotypes in Ukraine through my video art.\u201d \n\nIn 2018, Dvizhon made a groundbreaking music video for famed Ukrainian musician Iryna Bilyk. The video, for Bilyk's song \u2018Ne Hovai Ochei,\u2019 or \u2018Don\u2019t Hide Your Eyes,\u2019 showed same-sex couples kissing. \n\n\u201cIt was enormous to show two guys who were kissing and naked under the water. You need to make something different,\u201d says Dvizhon. \n\nSince then, Dvizhon has turned his attention to fashion campaigns, even winning an award at Rome International Fashion Film Festival in June for his campaign \u2018Love Airlines\u2019 with couture brand FROLOV. \n\nDvizhon\u2019s current project, \u2018Pride is not Available in your Area\u2019 is the latest iteration of his LGBT+ activism in Ukraine. \n\nAiming to highlight the experiences of ordinary LGBT+ Ukrainians during the war, Dvizhon is keen to change hearts and minds in his home country. \n\nThe film, made with help from queer dating app Taimi, used volunteers to tell the stories of real life LGBT+ soldiers, doctors and ordinary citizens during Russia\u2019s invasion. The filming took place in Kyiv over two days with a top Ukrainian crew. \n\n\u201cWe were thirsty for filming, because right now it\u2019s super hard to get a budget for anything,\u201d says Dvizhon. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s probably the biggest project this year.\u201d \n\n\u201cWe don\u2019t have a lot of money to create something, I\u2019m really happy that we\u2019re receiving a lot of positive comments. We want to bring awareness to the war in Ukraine.\u201d \n\nZelenskyy, the EU and LGBT+ rights \n\nIn 2019, a year after the TV station protest, UKRAINEPRIDE organised a rave outside the Presidential Administration Building to protest against Zelenskyy\u2019s silence on a number of key issues. \n\nThe president had not commented on drafted legislation which was similar to Russia\u2019s \u2018gay propaganda\u2019 laws, and had failed to commit to implementing hate crime protections for LGBT+ people. \n\nHowever in May 2022, Zelenskyy retweeted Dvizhon\u2019s post for the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia. \n\n\u201cSince the war happened they\u2019ve made six posts on Twitter about LGBT+ people,\u201d says Dvizhon in reference to the government. \n\n\u201cThey want to show that they are different from Russia, Belarus, or Kazakhstan where people live an extremely hard life.\u201d \n\nWhile this is reassuring for the future, LGBT+ people in Ukraine still suffer, both at the hands of Russian invaders and due to prejudice from other Ukrainians. One of Dvizhon\u2019s friends in the army was recently threatened by another soldier due to his sexuality. \n\n\u201cBeing a gay person in Ukraine, you need to face with Russia and all of their propaganda and also homophobic people, you need to be super strong to handle this.\u201d \n\nThe Ukrainian war, activism and dreams of the future \n\nDespite the dangers, Dvizhon is determined to promote the cause of freedom in Ukraine, as well as LGBT+ rights, at home and abroad. \n\nHe recently organised a Ukrainian contingent at London Pride in the UK, where \u2018Pride is not Available in your Region\u2019 was screened, and regularly gives interviews to both Ukrainian and international media. \n\nDespite the obstacles in Ukraine, he hasn't given up hope that things can get better and dreams of holding Pride parades in territory currently occupied by the Russians. \n\n\u201cWe really want to bring back Crimea, it\u2019s really beautiful it\u2019s like the Ukrainian California,\u201d says Dvizhon. \n\n\u201cWe have a lot of gay people who live there, we want to bring it back. It\u2019s like a dream to hold Eurovision or Pride in Yalta.\u201d \n\nAlthough the hazards of the war are ever present - a spot close to one of the locations for \u2018Pride is not Available\u2019 was recently shelled - Dvizhon is still hopeful for the future. \n\n\nHe hopes that one day, his beloved Kyiv will be free from war, and that people will return to party in a country where LGBT+ rights are enshrined. \n\n\n\u201cI see this progress, that\u2019s why I\u2019m still fighting for Ukraine.\u201d","htmlText":"<p>Yura Dvizhon returned to Kyiv in April, having fled the city on 24 February when Russia invaded Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe city was totally empty and I was so disappointed to see this, I left Kyiv right on the first day when everything happened,\u201d says the filmmaker and LGBT+ rights activist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I went back, so many of my friends were gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the Revolution of Dignity in 2014 - which overthrew the Ukrainian Government - a liberalisation of sorts has taken place in the country, drawing many from Eastern Europe and the Caucasus to the nation.

pipeline carrying Russian gas to Germany, starts annual maintenance today, with flows expected to stop for ten days.\u00a0 \n\nSome European governments, markets and companies worry that the shutdown might be extended. \n\nThe Nord Stream 1 pipeline transports 55 billion cubic metres (bcm) a year of gas from Russia to Germany under the Baltic Sea. \n\nLast month, Russia cut flows to 40% of the pipeline's total capacity, citing the delayed return of equipment being serviced in Canada.\u00a0 \n\nEurope now fears Russia may extend the scheduled maintenance to restrict European gas supply further, throwing plans to fill storage for winter into disarray, while heightening a gas crisis that has prompted emergency measures from many governments and painfully high bills for consumers. \n\nGerman economy minister Robert Habeck said the country should confront the possibility that Russia will suspend gas flows through Nord Stream 1 beyond the scheduled maintenance period. \n\n\"Based on the pattern we've seen, it would not be very surprising now if some small, technical detail is found and then they could say 'now we can't turn it on any more',\" he said at an event at the end of June. \n\nKremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed claims that Russia was using oil and gas to exert political pressure, saying the maintenance shutdown was a regular, scheduled event, and that no

Russian grain blockade may have impacted Sri Lanka unrest\u00a0\u2014 Blinken \n\nRussia's restrictions on Ukrainian grain exports may have contributed to the unrest in Sri Lanka, according to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who expressed concern that they could trigger other crises. \n\n\"We see the impact of this Russian aggression showing up everywhere. It may have contributed to the situation in Sri Lanka. We are concerned about the implications around the world,\" Blinken told a news conference in Bangkok. \n\nRepeating a request he has made several times, Blinken called on Russia to let about 20 million tonnes of grain leave Ukraine, which Moscow invaded in February. \n\n\"We are seeing growing food insecurity around the world which has been greatly exacerbated by the Russian aggression against Ukraine,\" Blinken said. \n\nHe added that there was also an impact in Thailand where fertiliser prices had \"skyrocketed\" due to the blockade. \n\nSri Lanka has been caught up in the turmoil of serious unrest caused by severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel. The president has\u00a0agreed to resign after protesters stormed his official residence on Saturday. \n\nRussia has said it would allow Ukrainian ships loaded with foodstuffs to leave if the Ukrainian army cleared its ports, but this option has been rejected by Kyiv, which fears for the safety of its Black Sea coast. (AFP) \n\n3. German paper die Welt blocked in Russia \n\nThe website of German newspaper die Welt has been blocked in Russia, having been added to the growing list of sites banned by media watchdog Roskomnadzor, Russian agencies said on Sunday. \n\nThe blocking followed a request from the prosecutor's office, a source said. \n\nThe site could no longer be opened on phones and computers, AFP journalists in Russia noted. \n\nSince the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine, the German newspaper had begun publishing content in Russian, while most independent information has been repressed in Russia. \n\nThe paper also employed Russian journalist Maria Ovsiannikova for a time, after she burst onto the set of a pro-Kremlin TV news programme holding up a sign against the Russian offensive in Ukraine. (AFP) \n\n4. Russia claims credit for Elena Rybakina's Wimbledon title \n\nThe Russian Tennis Federation was quick to claim Elena Rybakina as \u201cour product\u201d on her run to the women's title at Wimbledon. \n\nThey then praised her training programme in the country after she became champion while representing Kazakhstan. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s the Russian school, after all. She played here with us for a long time, and then in Kazakhstan,\u201d Russian Tennis Federation president Shamil Tarpishchev told sports website Championat after Rybakina beat Ons Jabeur 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday. \n\nThe 23-year-old Rybakina was born on Moscow and played in the Russian system until 2018, when financial issues led to her nationality switch. \n\nThere's been no official reaction from the Kremlin on Rybakina's Wimbledon success, but some commentators have claimed her victory as a Russian achievement and a symbolic snub to the All England Club, which banned players\u00a0from Russia and Belarus from Wimbledon because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. \n\nSome Russian state media outlets emphasised Rybakina's roots in Moscow, with others opting to call her simply a \u201crepresentative of Kazakhstan\u201d. (AP) \n\n5. French energy industry turns to oil for fear of Russian gas shut-off \n\nFrance's energy-intensive companies are speeding up contingency plans and converting their gas boilers to run on oil as they seek to avoid disruption in the event any further reduction in Russian gas supplies leads to power outages. \n\nGathered over the weekend at a business and economics conference at Aix-en-Provence in southern France, several top executives said they were preparing for possible blackouts. \n\nRussia in June reduced flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, its main route for shipping gas into western Europe, to 40% of capacity. Politicians and industry are concerned there will be further supply constraints linked to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. \n\nAcross Europe, industry has been resorting to more polluting fuel than gas as it gives precedence to tackling the cost to the economy of business disruption and surging energy prices, rather than longer-term targets to switch to zero carbon fuel. \n\nFrench Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told the top corporate executives attending the conference it would be irresponsible not to prepare for shortages. \n\n\"Let's prepare for a cut-off of Russian gas,\" he told them. \"Today it's the most likely scenario.\" \n\nFrance, relies on nuclear power for around 70% of its electricity, meaning it is far less directly dependendent on Russian gas than neighbouring Germany. \n\nHowever, the state-controlled electricity producer EDF is struggling to meet France's needs because of outages at its ageing power plants, increasing the strain on the rest of the energy sector. (Reuters) \n\n6. Canada to return Nord Stream pipeline turbines to Germany \n\nCanada has decided to return turbines for the Russian Nord Stream gas pipeline to Germany,\u00a0despite sanctions targeting Moscow. \n\nKyiv had called on Germany not to \"submit to blackmail by the Kremlin\". The turbines have been\u00a0undergoing maintenance in Siemens workshops near Montreal.\u00a0 \n\nThe Russian gas group Gazprom had invoked the repair work as the reason for a reduction in its deliveries to Germany via Nord Stream in mid-June. \n\n\"Canada will grant Siemens Canada a time-limited, revocable licence to return the repaired Nordstream 1 turbines to Germany, which will support Europe's ability to access reliable and affordable energy,\" said Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson. \n\nThe minister accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of wanting to \"sow division among allies\". \n\nCanada has also announced its intention to extend its economic sanctions against Russia to industrial manufacturing. \n\n\"The new sanctions will apply to land and pipeline transportation, as well as to the manufacture of metals and transportation, computer, electronic and electrical equipment, and machinery,\" said Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly.

We are concerned about the implications around the world,\" Blinken told a news conference in Bangkok.<\/p>\n<p>Repeating a request he has made several times, Blinken called on Russia to let about 20 million tonnes of grain leave Ukraine, which Moscow invaded in February.<\/p>\n<p>\"We are seeing growing food insecurity around the world which has been greatly exacerbated by the Russian aggression against Ukraine,\" Blinken said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that there was also an impact in Thailand where fertiliser prices had \"skyrocketed\" due to the blockade.<\/p>\n<p>Sri Lanka has been caught up in the turmoil of serious unrest caused by severe shortages of food, medicine and fuel. The president has\u00a0agreed to resign after protesters stormed his official residence on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Russia has said it would allow Ukrainian ships loaded with foodstuffs to leave if the Ukrainian army cleared its ports, but this option has been rejected by Kyiv, which fears for the safety of its Black Sea coast.

German paper die Welt blocked in Russia<\/h2><p>The website of German newspaper die Welt has been blocked in Russia, having been added to the growing list of sites banned by media watchdog Roskomnadzor, Russian agencies said on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>The blocking followed a request from the prosecutor&#039;s office, a source said.<\/p>\n<p>The site could no longer be opened on phones and computers, AFP journalists in Russia noted.<\/p>\n<p>Since the start of the Russian offensive in Ukraine, the German newspaper had begun publishing content in Russian, while most independent information has been repressed in Russia.<\/p>\n<p>The paper also employed Russian journalist Maria Ovsiannikova for a time, after she burst onto the set of a pro-Kremlin TV news programme holding up a sign against the Russian offensive in Ukraine.

Russia claims credit for Elena Rybakina's Wimbledon title<\/h2><p>The Russian Tennis Federation was quick to claim Elena Rybakina as \u201cour product\u201d on her run to the women&#039;s title at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n<p>They then praised her training programme in the country after she became champion while representing Kazakhstan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the Russian school, after all. She played here with us for a long time, and then in Kazakhstan,\u201d Russian Tennis Federation president Shamil Tarpishchev told sports website Championat after Rybakina beat Ons Jabeur 3-6, 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The 23-year-old Rybakina was born on Moscow and played in the Russian system until 2018, when financial issues led to her nationality switch.<\/p>\n<p>There&#039;s been no official reaction from the Kremlin on Rybakina&#039;s Wimbledon success, but some commentators have claimed her victory as a Russian achievement and a symbolic snub to the All England Club, which banned players\u00a0from Russia and Belarus from Wimbledon because of Russia&#039;s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Some Russian state media outlets emphasised Rybakina&#039;s roots in Moscow, with others opting to call her simply a \u201crepresentative of Kazakhstan\u201d.

French energy industry turns to oil for fear of Russian gas shut-off<\/h2><p>France&#039;s energy-intensive companies are speeding up contingency plans and converting their gas boilers to run on oil as they seek to avoid disruption in the event any further reduction in Russian gas supplies leads to power outages.<\/p>\n<p>Gathered over the weekend at a business and economics conference at Aix-en-Provence in southern France, several top executives said they were preparing for possible blackouts.<\/p>\n<p>Russia in June reduced flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, its main route for shipping gas into western Europe, to 40% of capacity. Politicians and industry are concerned there will be further supply constraints linked to Russia&#039;s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Across Europe, industry has been resorting to more polluting fuel than gas as it gives precedence to tackling the cost to the economy of business disruption and surging energy prices, rather than longer-term targets to switch to zero carbon fuel.<\/p>\n<p>French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told the top corporate executives attending the conference it would be irresponsible not to prepare for shortages.<\/p>\n<p>\"Let&#039;s prepare for a cut-off of Russian gas,\" he told them. \"Today it&#039;s the most likely scenario.\"<\/p>\n<p>France, relies on nuclear power for around 70% of its electricity, meaning it is far less directly dependendent on Russian gas than neighbouring Germany.<\/p>\n<p>However, the state-controlled electricity producer EDF is struggling to meet France&#039;s needs because of outages at its ageing power plants, increasing the strain on the rest of the energy sector.
