Europe’s conservative lawmakers are at it again — this time on air pollution

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:47:56 GMT

STRASBOURG — There’s a strong sense of déjà vu in Strasbourg.Lawmakers are set to vote Wednesday on the European Parliament’s position on revising the bloc’s air pollution rules. But in what is quickly becoming a familiar story, major divisions between political groups means the vote will go down to the wire. Although the upcoming vote has not drawn nearly as much attention, echoes of July’s vote on restoring degraded ecosystems are palpable. Once again, there’s a key environmental vote in the European Parliament. Once again, lawmakers from the center-right European People’s Party (EPP) group are making an attempt to significantly downgrade the institution’s position — part of its broader efforts to dilute Green Deal legislation ahead of European Parliament election next year. And once again, the liberal Renew group remains split on the issue until the last minute. Ahead of a plenary debate on the subject Tuesday, Iratxe García Pérez, president of...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:47:56 GMT

New York (CNN) — McDonald’s is getting rid of one of its biggest perks.The fast food chain is eliminating its self-serve soda machines by 2032 at its US restaurants, the company said, explaining that the change will make the experience consistent for customers and crew across the chain.For decades, McDonald’s let customers fill (and refill) their own drinks at its dining rooms. However, consumer behavior has changed since the pandemic, and the chain has experienced a surge in business through its drive-thru and delivery services, with fewer people choosing to eat in its dining rooms, reducing the need for the machines.McDonald’s future includes restaurant designs with smaller or no dining rooms (and high-tech drive thrus) to reflect that new reality. Digital sales (i.e. orders made on its app or through its partners like Uber) now make up 40% of its total sales, according to its most recent earnings report.The chain also recently teased another major change, called “CosMc’...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:47:56 GMT

By PAUL WISEMAN and MICHAEL LIEDTKE (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — Google has exploited its dominance of the internet search market to lock out competitors and smother innovation, the Department of Justice charged Tuesday at the opening of the biggest U.S. antitrust trial in a quarter century.“This case is about the future of the internet and whether Google’s search engine will ever face meaningful competition,” said Kenneth Dintzer, the Justice Department’s lead litigator.Over the next 10 weeks, federal lawyers and state attorneys general will try to prove Google rigged the market in its favor by locking its search engine in as the default choice in a plethora of places and devices. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta likely won’t issue a ruling until early next year. If he decides Google broke the law, another trial will decide what steps should be taken to rein in the Mountain View, California-based company. Top executives at Google and its cor...
