  + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( Idil Karsit | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
"Most of the ultra-processed food that you find are higher in salt, fat and sugar. The $128 billion British food and beverage industry is the largest manufacturing sector in the country, employing more than 400,000 people. "We are calling for food sector companies to report a set of health and sustainability metrics that would be on a mandatory basis," said Sophie Lawrence, who leads a group of investors called the Investor Coalition for Food Policy, managing assets worth $7 trillion. "If you're a leading business, and you know, you want to invest in healthier food, you're essentially taking a big commercial risk because it's not a level playing field", said Rebecca Tobi, senior business and investment manager at the Food Foundation. So, could ultra-processed food be taken off the menu?

In 1999, a 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck the Marmara region of Turkey, killing at least 17,000 people. It also ruptured some parts of the North Anatolian fault line, creating a time bomb under the city of Istanbul. Experts warn that a magnitude 7 or above earthquake could strike the city at any given time in the next 30 years. "We are not ready," said Naci Gorur, a geologist and professor at Istanbul Technical University. "I'm afraid an earthquake in Istanbul will cause even more destruction than what we witnessed in the Kahramanmaras earthquake that struck Turkey's south in February 2023."

☆ Turkey at a crossroads: Will it turn to the East or West?
  + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Idil Karsit | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Turkey joined NATO in 1952, formally cementing its place in the free world and within the Western fold. The two countries doubled their trade to $68 billion in 2022, despite sanctions on the Russian economy by Turkey's NATO allies. "This creates a system in which midsize players have more space to conduct partially independent foreign policies from the United States," she explained. "As the United States is less interested to play the regional politics, I think Turkey becomes an important actor — a stabilizing actor," he added. As Erdogan secures a third term in office, Turkey is at a crossroads: will it pivot to the East or West?
