EU court slashes daily fine against Poland to €500K in rule-of-law dispute

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:33 GMT

The EU’s top court has halved a daily fine it imposed against Poland over controversial judicial reforms in 2021, which the Polish government appealed.The fine has been reduced from €1 million per day to €500,000, the Court of Justice of the EU vice president said in a statement on Friday.In October 2021, the top court had started fining Poland €1 million per day for ignoring a ruling ordering it to suspend its judicial reforms and restore the independence of judges.The Polish authorities had asked the court to suspend the fine last November, arguing it had implemented reforms to comply with the previous ruling.In the Friday statement, the court’s Vice President Lars Bay Larsen said the “measures adopted by Poland are not sufficient to ensure the execution of all the provisional measures” the court had requested.Although Bay Larsen recognized that Poland did implement some changes, others — like a Polish Supreme Court decision allowing for...

‘What?!’ Orbán throws cold water on Ukraine’s NATO hopes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:33 GMT

Hungary’s troubled relationship with neighboring Ukraine spiraled again Friday as Prime Minister Viktor Orbán dismissed the country’s NATO dreams with a one-word tweet. “What?!” the prime minister exclaimed in a Twitter post responding to a POLITICO article on NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg’s declaration in Kyiv on Thursday that “Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO.”Relations between Budapest and Kyiv are tense. Hungary spent years blocking high-level NATO sessions with Ukrainian officials, ostensibly over concerns about the rights of Hungarian speakers in western Ukraine. And despite condemning Russia’s full-scale invasion, Hungary has refused to send weapons to aid its neighbor. Senior Hungarian officials, meanwhile, continue to regularly visit Moscow and maintain close ties to the Kremlin. At the same time, Hungary joining Turkey in blocking Sweden’s NATO bid has frustrated Western capitals. NATO allies — including Hungary — decided back in 2008 that...

Historic investment in urban trees underway across the U.S.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:33 GMT

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — While Ameen Taylor feels fortunate he has a cooling tree cover in the front and back yards of his Detroit home, he knows it’s a different story for many residents of his hometown where neighborhoods often have little to no shade.“To me, 70 degrees is fair weather, but when you’re walking somewhere or you’re around a neighborhood that don’t have trees, it will feel like it’s like 87, 90 degrees. That’s what it feel like,” said Taylor. “You’re exposed to more sun than you are shade.”Like many cities in the U.S., parts of Detroit are packed with large amounts of impervious surfaces and heat-absorbing infrastructure like roads and bridges. Coupled with low levels of cooling tree cover, or canopy, it can make them dangerously hotter than the suburbs. Such an inequity of tree cover is behind the historic $1.5 billion in President Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act that’s set aside for the federal Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry P...

Russia’s air force accidentally bombs own city of Belgorod

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:33 GMT

MOSCOW (AP) — Russia’s military acknowledged that a bomb accidentally dropped by one of its warplanes caused a powerful blast in a Russian city not far from Ukraine’s border, injuring two and scaring local residents.Belgorod, a city of 340,000 located about 40 kilometers (25 miles) east of the Russia-Ukraine border, has faced regular drone attacks during Russia’s current military operation in Ukraine. Russian authorities blamed the earlier strikes on the Ukrainian military, which refrained from directly claiming responsibility for the attacks.The explosion late Thursday was far more powerful than anything Belgorod residents had experienced before. Witnesses reported a low hissing sound followed by a blast that made nearby apartment buildings tremble and shattered their windows.It left a 20-meter (66-foot) -wide crater in the middle of a tree-lined boulevard flanked by apartments, damaged several cars and threw one vehicle onto a store roof. Two people were injured,...
