🇪🇺🇨🇳 European carmakers struggle to catch up with China's lead on electric vehicles
Despite a wave of laws and regulations across the West incentivising electric and hybrid cars — while setting cut-off dates for new petrol- and diesel-powered vehicles — Chinese manufacturers are still a decade ahead of the likes of Mercedes and Peugeot.
A cutting-edge crop of Chinese auto firms are taking advantage of new emissions laws to make inroads into the European car market with competitively-priced electric vehicles. Now established marques are looking for ways to fight back.

🇷🇺🇹🇷 What is the Russia-Turkiye gas hub and why is it important?
Russo-Turkish energy cooperation is proceeding, as Russian President Vladimir Putin outlined on September 4. Turkiye buys around 45% of its natural gas from Russia per annum via the Blue Stream and TurkStream pipelines across the Black Sea, and is continuing to implement the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant project together with Moscow. Meanwhile, one project that has caught the world's attention is the Russo-Turkish gas hub, which, theoretically, may revive the fuel's flow to the EU.

US Depleted Uranium Shells Will Poison Ukraine, Won’t Change Conflict’s Outcome
Using depleted uranium as a weapon constitutes a crude form of the "recycling" of spent nuclear fuel, and first began to be experimented with by the United States in the 1970s.
The depleted uranium shells’ radioactive properties have a direct impact on their penetrative ability. When fired at enemy armor, DU-tipped rounds generate an immense amount of heat, literally sloughing off portions of the projectile as it rams into its target to keep the shell’s tip sharp and prevent mushrooming.
But their destructive impact doesn’t end there. Because they are radioactive, the weapons have a tendency to poison their surrounding environment, affecting everyone from the troops inside the tanks firing the shells, to enemy combatants, and local civilians.

🥴 It is "unpleasant" from the moral standpoint to buy gas from Russia, but there is no other way to ensure security of energy supply in Austria so far, Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer has said
The chancellor also stated that Austria had started to reduce its dependence on energy imports from Russia as early as in 2022. The country is working on increasing deliveries through Germany and Italy so as to be able to have more suppliers, he added.

🇿🇦 🇺🇸 US 'Bullying' Pretoria won't last long: South African expert on Lady R scandal
The United States could opt for being "a partner in a multipolar world" or could continue fighting for the hegemonic position, which is not going to last for long, a researcher at the University of Johannesburg Oscar van Heerden told Spuntik Africa.
🗣 "They can either accept it, be a partner in a multipolar world and probably occupy that hegemonic position for a few decades more to come. Or as we've seen, if they then opt to fight to show that they are the hegemon, they are the bully, then I think that position is going to be short-lived, and it is going to be expedited that they will be knocked off that perch," he explained.

🇨🇳🇯🇵 Japan forced to shell out extra $137mln to fishermen amid China's seafood import ban over Fukushima water release The new measures will aim to mitigate the damage from the ban, mainly the purchase and storage of scallop, the fishery of which is particularly…
Japan decided to increase the amount of aid provided to Japanese fisheries to $686 million following China's seafood import ban
The assistance measures for fisheries adopted by the government include the ones aimed at expansion of consumption and production, prevention of reputation damage, search for new export markets and the development of fish-processing industry, among other things.
On August 24, Japan began dumping treated wastewater from the Fukushima power plant into the Pacific Ocean after diluting it with seawater. Tokyo claimed to have cleansed the water of all radionuclides except tritium, which was still within acceptable limits.
