      World’s first ‘plastic forecast’ predicts microplastics downpour in Paris

      The world’s first “plastic forecast” has predicted at least 300kg of microplastics will fall over Paris in the week beginning Monday, 29 April. Minderoo Foundation’s forecast has been developed using research on atmospheric plastic dynamics with traditional forecasts to estimate the daily “plastic fall” in the French capital, to help visualise the extent of the problem. It comes after a study published in Environmental Science & Technology estimated that 74 metric tonnes of microplastics dropped out of the atmosphere onto Auckland in 2020. Source

      Israeli settler kills Palestinian who army says attempted stabbing, amid rise in violence

      AL-MUGHAYYIR, West Bank (Reuters) -An Israeli settler shot dead a Palestinian man who the military said tried to carry out a stabbing attack in a settlement in the occupied West Bank on Friday. The incident came as several European countries condemned Israeli demolitions and settler violence in the West Bank, which flared again as Palestinian farmers said Jewish settlers fired at them while they were working on their agriculture land. The military said a suspect infiltrated the gated area in the southern West Bank near the city of Hebron on Friday morning and tried to stab a resident before being “neutralised”. There were no Israeli casualties, it said. The Palestinian health ministry said it was informed by the unit that…

      Iran reveals its new ballistic missiles as tensions escalate with the West

      Iran has unveiled what it calls the latest iteration of its liquid-fueled Khorramshahr ballistic missile amid wider tensions with the West over its nuclear program. Authorities showed off the Khorramshahr-4 to journalists at an event in the capital of Tehran, with the missile on a truck-mounted launcher. Defence Minister Gen. Mohammad Reza Ashtiani said the missile could be prepared for launch in a short period. Iranian officials described the missile as having a 1,240-mile (2,000 kilometre) range with a 1,500-kilogram warhead. They also released undated video footage purportedly showing a successful launch of the missile. The Khorramshahr has the heaviest payload of Iran’s ballistic missile fleet, which analysts say may be designed to keep the weapon under a 1,240-mile range limit…

      China to help Pakistan meet debt repayments worth $2.3 billion

       As Pakistan struggles to secure the critical pending loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the cash-strapped nation looks towards China to rollover more than $2 billion in debt due next month, media reports said on Thursday. Islamabad is still contemplating ways to meet other repayment deadlines as the country has about $3.7 billion in overseas debt due this month and in June against its current foreign exchange reserves of just $4.3 billion, The News reported.

      German economy enters recession as first quarter GDP falls unexpectedly

      New figures show the German economy suffered an unexpected dip in the first quarter of this year, putting the country formally into recession. Data released Thursday by the Federal Statistical Office shows Germany’s gross domestic product, or GDP, down by 0.3% in the period from January to March. This follows a drop of 0.5% in Europe’s biggest economy during the last quarter of 2022. Two consecutive quarters of decline constitute a technical recession. The figures are a blow to the German government, which last month boldly doubled its growth forecast for this year after a feared winter energy crunch failed to materialize. It said GDP will grow by 0.4% — up from a 0.2% expansion predicted in late January — a forecast that…

      Trade between Russia, China expected to hit record $200 billion this year

       Trade between Russia and China is expected to hit a new record level of $200 billion this year, according to Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin during his trip to China, as Moscow faces growing isolation from the West, local media reported. Russia has been hit by unprecedented Western sanctions since it unleashed a devastating war against Ukraine and has been shut out of much of the global economy, CNN reported. But China, which has declared “no limits” to its friendship with its northern neighbour, has thrown the Kremlin an economic lifeline, tempering the impact of its banishment from the global financial system, CNN reported. Last year, bilateral trade jumped nearly 30 per cent to a record $190 billion, mainly boosted by China buying Russian…
