The Commission looks set to push binding tech-transfer rules on Chinese FDI in strategic sector.
At this rate, the upcoming December package on the Industry Accelerator Act and the automotive package could end up being the most consequential EU industrial policy move in years.

Big win for the 603 bus! 🎉
After months of campaigning, TfL will move the second afternoon service to 4pm from 5 January, so students living and studying along the route can finally use it on their way home.
A small change that means fewer car trips, safer journeys, and a better-used route. 😀

“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

Absolutely. Chris Mason hyperventilating. Quite embarrassing.
For as many years as anyone been counting two or more inmates been mistakenly released from British prisons most weeks. Record does not make it acceptable. System needs to be fixed. It does leave me asking why BBC now gripped by end-of-civilisation hysteria heard on Radio 4 Today programme.

The story undeniably has some significance, but it's hard not to conclude that the balance is unhealthily skewed when first-tier elections in major European countries no longer make the BBC News frontpage, but a third-tier US election gets top spot.
