☆ Factbox: Why are oil tankers stuck in Turkish waters?

LONDON, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Turkey's maritime authority said on Thursday it would continue to block the passage of oil tankers that don't carry appropriate insurance letters, adding that insurance checks on ships in its waters were a "routine procedure". The logjam is creating growing unease in oil and tanker markets and comes as the G7 and European Union introduce a price cap on Russian oil. Millions of barrels of oil per day move south from Russian ports through Turkey's Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits into the Mediterranean. Ships typically have protection & indemnity (P&I) insurance, which covers third party liability claims including environmental damage and injury. Turkish authorities introduced new requirements, which came into effect at the beginning of December, in which every ship must have P&I insurance cover in place for all circumstances when sailing through Turkish waters or when calling at ports.

☆ 'Turkey has long been hell for journalists': Reporters slam country's new 'fake news' law
  + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Lee Ying Shan | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Turkey currently ranks 149 out of 180 countries in the world press freedom index, with 90% of national media under government control, according to international non-profit organization Reporters Without Borders. Seven years ago, Sevgi Akarcesme reported on a series of police raids on Turkey's media industry, which left a trail of newsrooms being shut down one by one — until the time for her own outlet came. Turkey's Parliament last week ratified a law introducing jail terms for journalists and social media users who spread "fake news," or disinformation. The law, proposed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ruling AK Party, comes eight months before the country's general election. "With this new law … the goal is to control social media because conventional media is already under Erdogan's control," said Akarcesme.
