CNN —China’s support for Russia is “enabling” its war in Ukraine, leaders of the world’s most advanced economies warned Friday in a hardening of tone against Beijing, while threatening further sanctions against actors that materially support Moscow’s war machine. “China’s ongoing support for Russia’s defense industrial base is enabling Russia to maintain its illegal war in Ukraine and has significant and broad-based security implications,” the G7 leaders said in the communique Friday. The US and European Union have already slapped sanctions on Chinese companies, and this week, the US imposed fresh sanctions on China-based firms supplying semiconductors to Russia. “So it is, in fact, helping Russia.”Leaders of the G7 nations gathered in southern Italy this week, with boosting support for Ukraine top of the agenda. “We express serious concern about the increasing use of dangerous maneuvers and water cannons against Philippine vessels.”

☆ Gas markets are becoming 'extremely difficult' to predict. It's a big problem for Europe this winter

Aerial view of the LNG storage and vaporization vessel "Höegh Esperanza" at the Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal. European gas markets have been constantly fluctuating in recent months, owing to extreme heat, maintenance at gas plants and, most recently, industrial action at major liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Australia. "Gas markets are becoming riskier — gas and LNG prices are increasingly volatile and greatly affected by global factors," Jaller-Makarewicz said. The EU reached its target of filling gas storage facilities to a 90% capacity roughly 2 1/2 months ahead of its Nov. 1 deadline. It means that we've got a pretty good buffer," Malek said, referring to Europe's filling of its gas storage facilities.

On May 25, 2005, Liverpool and AC Milan contested the Champions League final at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, which also hosts this year’s showpiece between Manchester City and Inter Milan. What happened in the second half, however, made the 2005 Champions League final the mother of all “I was there” moments. Rafael Benítez’s men emerged for the second half looking like an entirely different team, one full of belief that played with courage and purpose. “I think the most asked question is: ‘What happened at half time?’” Hyypia said.

☆ Giorgia Meloni: Will Italy's PM stop the boats or will the boats stop her?
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Barbie Latza Nadeau | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

Rome CNN —The key campaign promise that brought Giorgia Meloni and her far-right coalition to power in a landslide victory in last September’s election was a vow to do what no one else had done before: stop migrant boats using Italy as a gateway into Europe. On the campaign trail she promised to halt all migrant boats from landing on Italian shores, no matter who was on them and what drove them to risk their lives. Liberal European leaders stood to gain from the prospect of Meloni’s promise to stop the boats, and many hoped she could pull it off. He says to most Italians, the migrant crisis is still something they hear about, not something that impacts them directly. Meloni has taken tough action over migrant boats since taking power but faces fierce opposition.

☆ Europe’s rush to LNG could turn into ‘world’s most expensive and unnecessary insurance policy'

The Golar Tundra project is a key part of Italy's plan to reduce its reliance on Russian gas following the invasion of Ukraine. Europe must carefully balance its gas and LNG systems, and avoid tipping the scale from reliability to redundancy. "This is the world's most expensive and unnecessary insurance policy," said Ana Maria Jaller-Makarewicz, energy analyst for IEEFA Europe and author of the analysis. "Europe must carefully balance its gas and LNG systems, and avoid tipping the scale from reliability to redundancy. Boosting Europe's LNG infrastructure will not necessarily increase reliability — there's a tangible risk that assets could become stranded," Jaller-Makarewicz said.

Sursa foto: Agerpres / EPA / Filippo Monteforte / POOLPapa Francisc face un nou apel pentru pace în Orientul Mijlociu: Moartea copiilor este inacceptabilăPapa Francisc a făcut, în timpul tradiţionalului mesaj duminical, un nou apel la pace în Orientul Mijlociu, în condițiile în care aproape 200 de persoane, printre care şi zeci de copii, au căzut victime atacurilor dintre Fâşia Gaza şi Israel, transmite Digi24. Ciocnirile armate violente dintre Fâşia Gaza şi Israel s-au intensificat şi riscă să escaladeze într-o spirală a morții şi a distrugerii. Moartea lor este un semn că nu vrem să construim viitorul, ci vrem să-l distrugem,” a spus Papa Francisc, potrivit Mediafax. Conflictul dintre israelieni şi palestinieni „este o rană gravă în fraternitatea dintre cetăţeni”, a mai spus suveranul pontif. În numele lui Dumnezeu, fac apel la calm şi le cer celor care au responsabilitatea pentru aceasta să oprească ciocnirea armelor şi să parcurgă cărările păcii, tot cu ajutorul unităţii internaţionale,” a adăgat Papa Francisc.
