      EU delays vote on combustion engine phaseout after German pushback

      European Union countries have delayed a planned vote next week on the bloc’s landmark law to end sales of new CO2-emitting cars in 2035 after Germany questioned its support for the rules. No new date for the vote was given and a spokesperson for Sweden, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency, said EU countries’ ambassadors would return to the topic “in due time”. After months of negotiations, the European Parliament, the Commission and EU member states last year agreed to the law, which would require all new cars sold in the EU from 2035 to have zero CO2 emissions – effectively making it impossible to sell combustion engine cars from that date.

      Alex Murdaugh jailed for life over ‘savage’ murder of wife and son

      The scion of a prominent American legal family has been jailed for life without parole for “savagely” murdering his wife and son. Alex Murdaugh, 54, shot dead his wife Maggie, 52, and son Paul, 22, at their family estate in South Carolina on June 7, 2021. The trial captivated America for the last six weeks and Murdaugh, a disbarred lawyer and opioid addict, was convicted by a jury on Thursday night.

      Argentina withdraws from ‘agree to disagree’ pact over Falklands sovereignty

      The Government has insisted the Falkland Islands remain British after Argentina walked away from a cooperation pact and demanded new talks over their sovereignty. Known as the Malvinas in Spanish, the UK-ruled islands were the subject of a short but brutal war after Argentina invaded in 1982. Britain drove out the invading force after dispatching a naval armada. In 2016, the two sides agreed to disagree about sovereignty but to cooperate on issues such as energy, shipping and fishing, and on identifying the remains of unknown Argentine soldiers killed in battle. But at G20 talks in New Delhi on Thursday, Santiago Cafiero, the Argentinian foreign minister, informed UK counterpart James Cleverly his government was abandoning the pact. In a series of tweets, he renewed…

      Germany asks Switzerland to sell mothballed Leopard 2 tanks

      Germany has asked Switzerland to sell it some of its mothballed Leopard 2 tanks, the Swiss and German governments said on Friday, in a deal that could allow Western countries to increase military aid to Ukraine. Germany wants Switzerland to sell some of the tanks back to arms maker Rheinmetall, which would allow the company to backfill gaps in the armaments of European Union and NATO members. Germany, Poland, Portugal, Finland and Sweden are among countries sending Leopard tanks to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian attack, creating gaps in their own arsenals. German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and Economics Minister Robert Habeck informed Swiss Defence Minister Viola Amherd about the project in a letter dated Feb. 23, the defence…

      Prince Harry ‘ousted from final royal duty’ after losing UK domicile status

      Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been asked to “vacate” their UK home just weeks after Harry’s damning book Spare was released, the couple has confirmed. A spokesperson for the couple said a “request” had been made for the Sussexes to give up Frogmore Cottage close to Windsor Castle. But royal commentator Rafe Heydel-Mankoo has warned Harry could lose a major royal title. Speaking to GB News, he said: “This is actually quite the masterstroke.
