NEW | EV Adoption is booming around the world
The Hormuz crisis once again revealed the risks of an energy system reliant on fossil fuels and countries are taking notice.
Growing EV fleets have saved oil importers more than $20 billion since the start of the war.
France in a nutshell: it can build Europe’s leading AI company, win a Nobel Prize in chemistry and launch a next-generation nuclear missile from a submarine. Yet it can’t balance its books, can’t prevent a teenager from losing his hand to a police grenade, or get its parliament to agree on the basics.

The sun piercing through cloudy Parisian skies just as the pope starts Mass at Place de la Concorde is great theatrics. Well done, @Pontifex. 👀✨

FORGET the over-hyped blockbusters: the surprise hit of the summer in France and now on these shores is the two-part, six-hour epic from former diplomat turned director Antonin Baudry about France's wartime leader at his finest. The magnetic Simon Abkarian portrays De Gaulle with an irascible Simon Russell Beale as Churchill. Catch the first part now at @Filmhouse and read the four-star review: eyeforfilm.co.uk/review/de-g… Meanwhile join the queue for Part Two. In France it has been embraced as enthusiastically by Gen Z as their parents and grandparents. @Entertainment @PicEntFilms @PatheFilms @MinistereCC @FranceintheUK @francediplo @FrFilmFestUK

Middle powers have a coherent reason to cooperate : their common commitment to international law and rules based order’ not out of virtue but because their interest is not to get trapped between the Chinese rock and the US hard place.
There is a great deal of hubbub about a collective “middle powers”strategy these days.
At DoW, we are not concerned that this is a serious possibility. Rather, we are more concerned that a few allies and partners will *think it is* and waste valuable time, money, and political capital on a distraction. 1/
