Londons Bürgermeister Khan für dritte Amtszeit wiedergewählt
Es ist ein historischer Wahlerfolg: Als erster Bürgermeister Londons hat sich der Labour-Politiker Khan eine dritte Amtszeit gesichert. Für Premier Sunak und seine Konservativen sind die englischen Kommunalwahlen ein Desaster.
The #UnitedStatesFederalTradeCommissionFTC narrowly voted Tuesday to ban nearly all #NonCompetes employment agreements that typically prevent workers from joining competing #businesses or launching ones of their own.
The FTC received more than 26,000 public comments in the months leading up to the vote. Chair Lina #Khan referenced on Tuesday some of the stories she had heard from workers.
#Khan Younis, #Gaza
Families return to their homes after the Israeli forces’ withdrawal. Thousands of Palestinians, exhausted by six months of unrelenting war and multiple displacements, found a city landscape marked by shattered buildings and stench of death
FTC head Lina Khan is fighting for an anti-monopoly America
Charged with enforcing #antitrust law and promoting #consumer#protection, the #FTC is nominally the regulator charged with stopping deals that will harm consumers.
But under successive administrations – Republican and Democratic – some critics charge the FTC stood by as industry after industry consolidated power in the hands of fewer and fewer companies.
All that changed under Joe #Biden, who has consistently attacked the monopolization of US business.
#Lina#Khan is his most high-profile warrior.
She has redefined the battlefield in such a sweeping manner that some argue there is no going back no matter who wins 2024’s election.
But tough talk is just that – talk. Drawing a line under an era of light-touch antitrust enforcement has proven easier said than done.
Last week the FTC sued to block #Kroger’s $24.6bn takeover of rival grocer #Albertsons.
If approved, the agency warned, the U.S.’s largest-ever supermarket merger would raise prices for millions of shoppers.
Kroger and Albertsons would collectively have over 5,000 stores and 700,000 employees across 48 states, according to the FTC, which claimed an executive involved in the deal had conceded it was “basically creating a monopoly”.
Ex-Premier Shehbaz Sharif tritt erneut an die Spitze Pakistans
In Pakistan tritt mit Shehbaz Sharif wieder ein Vertreter einer Polit-Dynastie an die Staatsspitze. Die Entscheidung für den 72-Jährigen ist eine weitere Überraschung nach umstrittenen Parlamentswahl vor drei Wochen.
The Mayor of #London has pledged his support to send 4x4s and other vehicles to #Ukraine that would otherwise be scrapped under the Ulez scheme.
In an apparent U-turn, Sadiq #Khan has asked the Transport Secretary, Mark #Harper, to enable Londoners, and others across the country, to donate suitable vehicles to Ukraine through scrappage schemes.
Internationaler Strafgerichtshof - Chefankläger #Khan für Ermittlungen zu möglichen Kriegsverbrechen durch militante Palästinenser und das israelische Militär
Der Chefankläger des #IStGH , Khan, setzt sich für Ermittlungen zu möglichen #Kriegsverbrechen auf allen Seiten des #Gaza -Kriegs ein.
"#Starmer, despite later attempts to deny it, clearly told an interviewer on LBC that Israel has the right to withhold power and water from #Gaza. #Sarwar considers it a breach of international law to do so. Which #Labour Party would #Scotland be voting for in the General Election? Come on ... you know the answer to that one" – Richard Walker
...It's electoral death to default - as Corbyn does - to always taking the Palestinian side in the context of the slaughter of 1400 civilians by Hamas - that would have lost a lot of votes
But there was a path thru that urged restraint on Israel whilst expressing horror at Hamas
A recap of main events today (while i was working on a completely different story so details to come later):
-emergency government and war cabinet formed in #Israel
#Gaza 's only power station stopped working, leaving the territory without main electricity
17 Brits, including children are dead or missing after #hamas attack in Israel
Commemorating 9/11 in the most appropriate way I can muster: Tallying up every baffling narrative choice in JJ Abrams' #StarTrek Into Darkness, starting with concealing the identities of both #Khan and Carol Marcus, resulting in mind-boggling revelations of their true identities for an audience of literally no one.
@Jayslacks So, if #Khan#NoonienSingh is genetically engineered, doesn't that mean La'An is? And therefore she should've been refused starfleet service on the same grounds that they went after Number One!
After all, he is "the most prominent of the genetically-engineered Human Augments of the Eugenics Wars period on Earth." AND La'An knew she was a descendent!
