Notable that this step forward is made where the environment is economically favourable for rail travel: « In China, the cost of a high-speed rail ticket is cheaper than air travel (¥600 compared with ¥1,200), unlike in many other countries. »

Sudan’s Civil War Shifts Toward Kordofan
Since the Sudanese Army drove its paramilitary rival from the capital in March, the two sides are battling for territorial gains in the Kordofan region.
The center of Sudan’s brutal civil war has shifted west as fighting between the army and paramilitary forces intensifies. More civilians are being killed in what rights groups say is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

E3G Steel Policy Scorecard 2025: Maintaining the momentum
E3G's 2025 Steel Policy Scorecard shows that tangible progress in decarbonising steel production in G7 countries remains slow.
Steel decarbonisation is stalling across the #G7.
Our 2025 Scorecard shows progress on ambition, but too few real projects are being delivered. If we want clean, competitive steel, policy delivery must now catch up.

Yesterday morning, before the US-EU "trade deal" was announced, I posted this: "To What Extent Are the Trade Negotiations about Security?"
ielp.worldtradelaw.net/2025/07/to-w...
It seems like we are getting confirmation that security (i.e. Ukraine in this case) was a key factor in this "deal."

Relief at avoiding trade war is tinged with regret at not taking firmer stand from the start

Dieter Strand är död – blev 88 år
En Aftonbladet-ikon är död. Författaren och journalisten Dieter Strand blev 88 år. Han bevakade varje presidentval i USA mellan 1964 och 1992 och var enda svens
1966 började Dieter Strand på Aftonbladet. Ännu på 90-talet hade han kolumner i tidningen och fick unga människor att drömma om att skriva.
Var han landets största tidningsman? Kanske.
Vila i frid.

Fighting for the margins: Climate diplomacy may be the only front to engage China - Euractiv
Climate diplomacy remains one of the areas where dialogue is functioning. For the EU, preserving and using it strategically is key.
Cooperation in the global south? "Aligning efforts, even loosely, on resilience infrastructure, early warning systems, and climate risk planning would allow the EU and China to deliver meaningful outcomes" Excellent piece by @ctrasi.bsky.social @bruegel.bsky.social www.euractiv.com/section/poli...
