More info Early this year, the Government had vowed to invest £100million in Britishvolt, a company that is currently building the UK’s first gigafactory in Northumberland. Through this project, the firm is set to create 3,000 jobs at the electric battery factory and over 5,000 in the associated supply chains. Despite construction work for the massive factory beginning in April, the Government has so far not upheld its promise to support the project, according to MP Ian Lavery of Wansbeck.

By now you might have heard that electric vehicles are fast . But R.J. Scaringe, the founder and CEO of Rivian, is out to prove they can also be fierce. He calls Rivian's all-electric SUV an adventure vehicle — something drivers could use to both tackle a trail and get their groceries. "We wanted the vehicles to truly be capable of going anywhere," Scaringe told CBS News' senior environmental correspondent Ben Tracy during a recent test drive at the company's test track in central Illinois. Rivian, which won the race to deliver the first all-electric pickup truck, is launching its SUV amid major questions about whether it can deliver on its ambitious goals. When the company went public late last year, its stock surge briefly made it one of most valuable automakers in the world, worth more than General Motors and Ford. But the stock has plummeted, and the road for Rivian has been pretty rough lately. It's been plagued by chronic production delays due in part to a … [Read more...] about CEO of all-electric truck company Rivian on his goals and recent setbacks: “You don’t start a car company immediately making money”

One day after Twitter deleted a “controversial tweet” made by the country’s president, Nigeria’s minister of information and culture announced that Twitter was being suspended “indefinitely” in the African nation. Twitter responded by describing the “#OpenInternet” as “an essential human right in society,” prompting accusations of hypocrisy from critics. “The Federal Government has suspended, indefinitely, the operations of the microblogging and social networking service, Twitter, in Nigeria,” read a statement, ironically posted on Twitter . “The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, announced the suspension in a statement issued in Abuja on Friday, citing the persistent use of the platform for activities that are capable of undermining Nigeria’s corporate existence.” “The Minister said the Federal Government has also directed the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to immediately commence the process of licensing all OTT and social media operations in … [Read more...] about Twitter Reacts To Nigeria Ban, Mocked For Calling Open Internet ‘Essential Human Right’ After Censoring Trump | The Daily Wire

The most famous story about modern presidential campaigning now has a quaint old-world tone. It’s about the showdown between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy in the first debate of their 1960 campaign, which was also the very first nationally televised general-election debate in the United States. The story is that Kennedy looked great, which is true, and Nixon looked terrible, which is also true—and that this visual difference had an unexpected electoral effect. As Theodore H. White described it in his hugely influential book The Making of the President 1960 , which has set the model for campaign coverage ever since, “sample surveys” after the debate found that people who had only heard Kennedy and Nixon talking, over the radio, thought that the debate had been a tie. But those who saw the two men on television were much more likely to think that Kennedy—handsome, tanned, non-sweaty, poised—had won. Historians who have followed up on this story haven’t found data to back … [Read more...] about When Donald Meets Hillary: Who Will Win the Debates?

Τουλάχιστον 9 άνθρωποι σκοτώθηκαν και άλλοι εννέα τραυματίστηκαν σήμερα στον βομβαρδισμό από τον ρωσικό στρατό εναντίον ενός ραδιοτηλεοπτικού πύργου, κοντά στην πόλη Ρίβνε, στη δυτική Ουκρανία, ανακοίνωσαν οι τοπικές αρχές. Ο Γενικός Γραμματέας του ΟΗΕ Αντόνιο Γκουτέρες προειδοποίησε για τις επιπτώσεις του πολέμου της Ρωσίας στην Ουκρανία, που θα μπορούσε να οδηγήσει σε έναν «τυφώνα πείνας» σε πολλές χώρες. «Η Ουκρανία φλέγεται» και «η χώρα αποδεκατίζεται υπό τα βλέμματα του κόσμου», τόνισε. «Πρέπει να κάνουμε ό,τι είναι δυνατόν για να αποτρέψουμε μια λαίλαπα λιμών και μια κατάρρευση του παγκόσμιου διατροφικού συστήματος», είπε σε συνέντευξη Τύπου που παραχώρησε στη Νέα Υόρκη. Από την πλευρά του, το ΔΝΤ έχει εκτιμήσει ότι η οικονομία της Ουκρανίας θα μπορούσε να συρρικνωθεί έως και 35% εάν ο πόλεμος βαλτώσει και ότι ο πόλεμος θέτει σε κίνδυνο την παγκόσμια επισιτιστική ασφάλεια.

Published 28 minutes ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing An MP in the so-called red wall seat of Ashfield has withdrawn his support for Boris Johnson over the government's handling of the situation with former deputy chief whip Chris Pincher. Lee Anderson said he had stayed loyal since being elected in 2019. But the Conservative MP said giving Mr Pincher the job, having been told about earlier inappropriate behaviour, was "not a good appointment". "I cannot look myself in the mirror and accept this," he added. Mr Anderson highlighted the initial denial that the prime minister had been told about earlier allegations and then the change in the government's position to state that Mr Johnson simply forgot. He added: "It is my belief that our PM has got all the big decisions right and guided us through the most difficult time in my lifetime and I have always backed him … [Read more...] about Lee Anderson: Red wall Tory MP withdraws support for Boris Johnson

Published 2 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing A national charity supporting children with disabilities says more than 90% of the families it helps are struggling to pay bills due to rising living costs. Half of carers looking after disabled youngsters have skipped meals in the past 12 months to cut back on spending, a survey by Family Fund suggests. A West Yorkshire family supported by the charity say they are "scared" they won't be able to afford winter heating. The government said it was helping families with disabled children. York-based Family Fund said many families with seriously ill or disabled children faced higher energy bills due to the need to power home medical equipment. Frequent GP or hospital appointments mean regular car journeys for many, including the family of 11-year-old Charlie, from Bingley in West Yorkshire. "We can't go on as … [Read more...] about Cost of living: Disability charity says carers are skipping meals
