Like most pop culture fantasies, speculation that Beyoncé would make an appearance at the DNC started – and ended – on social media. From the moment CNN reported in July that Beyoncé had granted the vice president permission to use her 2016 song “Freedom” for her presidential campaign, there were questions. People spotted wearing ‘COWBOY KAMALA’ sashes at the Democratic National Convention.

☆ German police clash with activists in showdown over coal mine expansion
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-10 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Many Greens oppose the mine's expansion, but Economy Minister Robert Habeck of the Greens party has fronted the government's decision. Some activists dumped 250 kg (551 lb) worth of coal blocks in front of a local Greens party headquarters, German media reported. Some of the activists have built treehouses in Luetzerath, believing these would make it harder for police to force them to leave. The move echoes a similar protest in 2013 in the Hambach forest, which delayed an RWE coal mining project for years and became a symbol of anti-coal demonstrations. Those include firing up mothballed coal power plants and extending the lifespan of nuclear power stations after Russia cut gas deliveries to Europe in an energy standoff that sent prices soaring.

În luna septembrie 2019, grupul Ineos a anunţat că va forma o divizie auto care va asambla un model de teren denumit Grenadier la o uzină ce urmează să fie construită în Ţara Galilor, creând astfel 500 de locuri de muncă. Însă, în luna iulie a acestui an, Ineos a decis să îşi revizuiască investiţiile ca urmare a pandemiei care a creat o serie de noi oportunităţi, relatează Agerpres . Marţi, Ineos a confirmat că va prelua uzina de la Hambach (Franţa) aparţinând grupului Daimler, unde urmează să construiască viitorul model 4X4 Grenadier. Jim Ratcliffe, deţinătorul unei averi evaluate la 20 de miliarde de dolari, a fost unul dintre cei mai vehemenţi susţinători ai campaniei în favoarea ieşirii Marii Britanii din Uniunea Europeană. După referendumul din 2016, sectorul auto britanic a fost unul din cele mai afectate de incertitudinile cu privire la viitorul relaţiilor comerciale dintre Marea Britanie şi UE, principala sa piaţă de export.
