STORYLINE:
The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip said it has launched the second round of a polio vaccination campaign in the war-ravaged territory.

It said Monday that a second dose of the vaccine will be administered to children under 10 in the central part of the territory over the next three days before the campaign is expanded to the north and south.

Gaza resident Abdul Hakim Al-Masry said the campaign was excellent, "because this is a dangerous disease."

Shorouk Taha, another resident, agreed the vaccinations should be distributed without hesitation.

"We must do anything that benefits our children and help the campaign because the environment we are currently living in is a fertile medium for diseases and the outbreak of diseases is very fast," she said.

The campaign began last month after the territory registered its first polio case in Gaza in 25 years — a 10-month-old boy, now paralyzed in one leg.

Health workers succeeded in administering the first dose of the vaccine to around 560,000 children despite myriad challenges, including ongoing fighting, the breakdown of law and order and widespread damage to roads and infrastructure.

The World Health Organization said humanitarian pauses to facilitate the campaign last month were largely observed.

I think and when you have senior executives like Luca de Meo, the Renault Group CEO, who goes to every show, every show that he can do, to make a presence and the likes of Stellantis that is putting a bit more of an effort into attending."

And the way to tempt people into these cars is for incentives. Carmakers are saying we've done our bit and now they're asking governments to do their bit by supporting these cars, which do cost more than their internal combustion engine counterparts to make."

Kenya relocates 50 elephants to a larger park. A sign poaching is under control, officials say

5. SOUNDBITE (English): Rebecca Miano, Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife:
"The reason we are translocating is to manage overpopulation and therefore be able to conserve our wildlife and our elephants. Mwea National Reserve should ideally hold 47 elephants, but now they have reproduced. We have had about 156 elephants which then obviously causes an overpopulation. Because of the overpopulation, we have seen elephants stray from the national reserve, to people's farms, to people's compounds therefore causing human-wildlife conflict."

7. SOUNDBITE (English): Rebecca Miano, Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife:
"A lot of due diligence was done to ensure that they will cope well. KWS, who I commend, have also employed technology, they have been collared digitally and therefore their movement and settling will be monitored closely."
8. Various of elephants being moved into trucks for relocation
9. SOUNDBITE (Kiswahili): Rehema Kamene, local resident:
"Today we are very happy because these elephants were a big nuisance. We are happy they are being moved. We were suffering with food in the gardens.

STORYLINE:
Kenya is relocating 50 elephants from a national reserve to a larger park after overpopulation overwhelmed the ecosystem, in what has been hailed as a success in conservation efforts.

Kenya is suffering from a problem, albeit a good one: the elephant population in the 42-square-kilometer (16-square-mile) Mwea National Reserve, east of the capital Nairobi, has flourished from its maximum capacity of 50 to a whopping 156, overwhelming the ecosystem and requiring the relocation of about 100 of the largest land animals.

It hosted 49 elephants in 1979.

Experts started relocating 50 elephants last week to the expansive 780-square-kilometer (301-square-mile) Aberdare National Park in central Kenya.

As of Monday, 44 elephants had been moved from Mwea to Aberdare, with six others scheduled for Tuesday.

Tourism Minister Rebecca Miano oversaw the translocation of five of the elephants on Monday.

The process started at dawn and involved a team of more than 100 wildlife specialists, with equipment ranging from specially fitted trucks to aircraft and cruisers.

A fixed-wing aircraft conducted aerial surveillance to track down herds of elephants, which naturally move in small families of about five.

The craft was in constant communication with two helicopters used to herd and separate the elephants to ensure they were relocated with their family units.

Aboard one of the helicopters is a spotter, on the lookout for elephants, and a veterinarian with a tranquilizer gun.

"This is a difficult time because you have the contraction of the European market and a very strong competition from the Chinese and so I think it's necessary at times like these, first of all to protect ourselves in order to make level playing fields. When certain Chinese manufacturers benefit from subsidies then it's normal that we impose tariffs to compensate for it. If not, these aren't level playing fields. This is what the European Commission has done and we support it, and if we continue the work of transformation of the transport sector, its passes through electrification. Five years ago it was totally unimaginable to produce electric vehicles in France. Two years ago we said 'we're going to do it.' And now we have the first totally electric vehicles. The vehicle is assembled, the parts are produced, even the batteries - everything - in France and we have huge companies that are making battery giga-factories that are emerging. With this progress, we are transforming, we are creating jobs so we have to hold on even if this is a difficult period. Europe like France must also provide support and stability during this period."

"The heart of the work we must do is to continue creating jobs, to create wealth in this country and then we have a good debate about how we redistribute wealth in this country. But we are the country in the OECD that already taxes the most in spite of all the cuts we've made over the last seven years and when we look at things in particular compared to the United States for example, Europe's problems are its growth and its capacity to innovate. That's what we need to boost. "

STORYLINE:
French President Emmanuel Macro visited the Paris Motor Show on Monday, as auto manufacturers compete to persuade drivers to go electric.

The biennial show has long been a major industry showcase, tracing its history to 1898.

Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are attending in force, despite European Union threats to punitively tax imports of their EVs in a brewing trade war with Beijing.

Long-established European manufacturers are fighting back with new efforts to win consumers who have balked at high-priced EVs.

"When certain Chinese manufacturers benefit from subsidies then it's normal that we impose tariffs to compensate for it. If not, these aren't level playing fields," Macron said as he toured the stands with leading auto executives.

And just to say, obviously, I'm just super happy. I think, he was telling me this is a very University of Chicago award, and I agree with that. I've loved it every second since I've been here for the last eight years. Eight and a half years, I've felt a kind of intellectual home at the university and in the Harris School and in Department of Political Science, and I find the intellectual atmosphere so exciting and rewarding, and I really appreciate the way the university is kind of believed in me and got me to come here, and it's been great."

He sat in the front row and kind of objected to almost everything I said like, no, no, if that assumption, if you change assumption to that would never go through that result. I was like, who is this guy? So annoying. That we then we went out to dinner, this Indian restaurant in Covent Garden with the search committee, and he was the sort of the star student. And we sat next to each other and started talking. And as we left the old Saint Clements building from the London School of Economics, which is now demolished, he turned around and looked at me and said, have you read this paper by North and Weingast, which is a very famous paper.

Members of the Kennedy family gather for funeral of Ethel Kennedy

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Centerville, Massachusetts - 14 October 2024
1. Wide of pall bearers carrying Ethel Kennedy's casket and attendees outside church
STORYLINE:
Members of the Kennedy family gathered Monday for the funeral of Ethel Kennedy, the wife of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

Ethel Kennedy, who raised their 11 children after her husband was assassinated and remained dedicated to social causes and the family’s legacy, died on Thursday at age 96.

Monday's funeral, which was closed to the public, took place at Our Lady of Victory, in Centerville, Massachusetts, about 28 miles (45 kilometers) north of Boston.

Mourners gathered at the church under a cool gray sky. Ethel Kennedy died following complications related to a stroke suffered earlier this month.

The Kennedy matriarch, mother to Kathleen, Joseph II, Robert Jr., David, Courtney, Michael, Kerry, Christopher, Max, Douglas and Rory, was one of the last remaining members of a family generation that included President John F. Kennedy. Her family said she had recently enjoyed seeing many of her relatives before falling ill.

A millionaire’s daughter who married the future senator and attorney general in 1950, Ethel Kennedy had endured more death by the age of 40, for the whole world to see, than most people would in a lifetime.

She was by Robert F. Kennedy’s side when he was fatally shot in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles on June 5, 1968, just after winning California's Democratic presidential primary. Her brother-in-law had been assassinated in Dallas less than five years earlier.

Her parents were killed in a plane crash in 1955, and her brother died in a 1966 crash. Her son David Kennedy overdosed, son Michael Kennedy died in a skiing accident and nephew John F. Kennedy Jr. in a plane crash. Another nephew, Michael Skakel, was found guilty of murder before the Connecticut Supreme Court ultimately vacated his conviction. And in 2019, her granddaughter Saoirse Kennedy Hill died of an apparent overdose.

Ethel Kennedy founded the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights soon after her husband’s death and advocated for causes including gun control and human rights. She rarely spoke about her husband’s assassination. When her filmmaker daughter Rory brought it up in the 2012 HBO documentary, “Ethel,” she couldn't share her grief.

Many of her progeny became well known. Daughter Kathleen became lieutenant governor of Maryland; Joseph represented Massachusetts in Congress; Courtney married Paul Hill, who had been wrongfully convicted of an Irish Republican Army bombing; Kerry became a human rights activist and president of the RFK center; Christopher ran for Illinois governor; Max served as a prosecutor in Philadelphia and Douglas reported for Fox News Channel.

Her son Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also became a national figure — first as an environmental lawyer and more recently as a conspiracy theorist spreading false theories about vaccines. He ran for president as an independent after briefly challenging Biden, and his name remained on ballots in multiple states after he suspended his campaign and endorsed Donald Trump.

Matthew: “For me it's airplanes. He was an accomplished pilot. Some of my happiest memories and earliest memories are sitting in the copilot seat next to him as he was flying us around somewhere, and anytime we were on a, you know, even a commercial airliner. And he just loved aviation so much and had such respect for the pilots who could fly these, you know, giant planes, that anytime I'm in a plane it makes me think of him.”

LEADIN:

French football legend Eric Cantona pulled back the sheets on the new electric Ford Capri at the Paris Motor Show.

STORYLINE:

From one iconic name to another - French footballer Eric Cantona unveils the new electric Ford Capri in Paris.

The Ford Capri is one of the most famous names for the American car maker.

Launched in 1969, the Capri sold nearly two million units over its lifetime.

Now it's back - but bears little resemblance to the old low slung Capri, and now features an all electric powertrain.

Eric Cantona, with his trademark poetic flourish, gives his verdict on the new vehicle.

"It's magnificent, a bold reimagining of a classic. The lines are pure poetry. A symphony of steel and glass. And electric, now that is the future roaring to life," he says.

Ford is using Eric Cantona as a symbol for the Capri. The former-footballer turned to acting after his playing days were over, and later became a singer - constantly reinventing himself.

Ford's design director Amko Leenarts explains what he tried to capture from the original when he was tasked with reviving the classic brand.

He says: "It's time now to bring this legend back. A mischievous legend. And this Capri was born a rebel. Launched in 1969 it became a symbol of youthful defiance in the '70s and the '80s. Its sporty design and affordable price tag made it the perfect sports car for the family. And it was a car that demanded attention and it got it - on the streets, on the track, even on the big screen, the Capri was a star."

With increasing competition in the EV sector - particularly with new players from China arriving - Ford is clearly keen to remind potential customers about its legacy.

The Capri brand could help to add a bit of sparkle to its latest EV.

It has a range of 389 miles, 210 kW of power and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 28 minutes.

There are practical considerations too, like the 572 litres of boot space and full mobile connectivity.

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners gathered in the village of Maisra, northeast of Beirut on Monday for the funeral of ten people killed in an Israeli airstrike over the weekend.

The coffins of the ten victims, out of a total of 18 killed in Saturday's strike, were draped in Lebanese flags and carried to a local cemetery for burial.

A three-storey building was reportedly reduced to rubble in the airstrike that killed 18 and wounded 21, according to Lebanon's Health Ministry.

"God’s mercy upon them and I hope they are in heaven," said local resident Kamal Amro, from amongst the debris in the village that lies in Keserwan district, Mount Lebanon Governorate.

"We are strong in our country and we are steadfast in our land and country,” he added.

Israeli airstrikes hit multiple areas in southern and eastern Lebanon over the weekend, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Meanwhile, the Lebanese Red Cross said an Israeli airstrike in northern Lebanon on Monday killed at least 18 people.

The strike hit a small apartment building in the village of Aito, which is part of the country's Christian heartland in the north and far from the Hezbollah militant group's main areas of influence in the south and east.

Across Lebanon, some 2,300 people have been killed by Israeli strikes since last October, according to the country's Health Ministry. More than three-quarters of the deaths occurred in the past month.

Hezbollah, an ally of Hamas, has vowed to keep up its attacks on Israel until there is a cease-fire in Gaza.

Israel has said its campaign against Hezbollah is aimed at stopping those attacks so displaced Israelis can feel safe returning to their homes near the Lebanese border.

Gaza begins second round of polio vaccine push

RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

Deir Al-Balah, Gaza Strip - 14 October 2024
1. Various of children lining up and receiving polio vaccine dose
STORYLINE:
The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip said it has launched the second round of a polio vaccination campaign in the war-ravaged territory.

It said Monday that a second dose of the vaccine will be administered to children under 10 in the central part of the territory over the next three days before the campaign is expanded to the north and south.

The campaign began last month after the territory registered its first polio case in Gaza in 25 years — a 10-month-old boy, now paralyzed in one leg.

Health workers succeeded in administering the first dose of the vaccine to around 560,000 children despite myriad challenges, including ongoing fighting, the breakdown of law and order and widespread damage to roads and infrastructure.

The World Health Organization said humanitarian pauses to facilitate the campaign last month were largely observed.

Israeli strike in northern Lebanon kills at least 21 people

STORYLINE:
Rescuers removed dead bodies after an Israeli airstrike hit an apartment building in northern Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 21 people, according to the Lebanese Red Cross.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military and it was not clear what the target was.

The strike hit a small apartment building in the Christian-majority village of Aito in Zagharta, far from the Hezbollah militant group’s main areas of influence in the south and east of the country.

Footage from Lebanese media showed a large plume of smoke rising from the hilly village, with several destroyed cars next to a severely damaged building, as people tried to remove bodies from beneath rubble and trees.

This also comes as Lebanese officials say another Israeli airstrike hit near an aid convoy in Lebanon, wounding a driver and lightly damaging the trucks as they passed through the Bekaa.

Some 2,300 people have been killed by Israeli strikes across Lebanon since last October, more than three-quarters of them in the past month, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The airstrikes, and Israel's subsequent ground invasion of southern Lebanon, which Israel says are targeting Hezbollah, have forced the displacement of more than 1.2 million people and caused widespread destruction across the country.

4. Soldiers standing next to coffin, covered with an Israeli flag
5. Soldiers shooting in the air
STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral on Monday of one of the soldiers killed in a Hezbollah drone attack on a military base in Israel late Sunday.

The attack near the city of Binyamina killed four soldiers and wounded 61.

It was the deadliest strike by the militant group since Israel launched its ground invasion of Lebanon two weeks ago.

Due to Home Front Command restrictions, Sgt. Alon Amitai, 19, will be laid to rest later, without the public, in his community in Ramot Naftali.

With Israel’s advanced air-defense systems, it’s rare for so many people to be injured by drones or missiles.

Hezbollah and Israel have traded fire almost daily in the year since the war in Gaza began, and fighting has escalated.

Israel launched its ground operation in Lebanon earlier this month with the goal of weakening Hezbollah and pushing the militant group away from the border to allow thousands of displaced Israelis to return to their homes.

Washington – 14 October 2024
1. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Johnson, Awarded Nobel memorial prize in Economics:
“Our work is about the importance of institutions, some long standing and some recent – social, economic and political arrangements for inclusive prosperity. So, the question of who becomes rich at the country level, but also the individual level and who stays poor. And of course, there are around the world today an enormous number of people who are very poor, despite all the progress we've made as humans over the past 250 years.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Johnson, Awarded Nobel memorial prize in Economics:
“But when you allow people to have more effective political voice, when you provide more transparency, when elites are subject to effective and reasonable forms of competition, you get better political outcomes and you get better economic outcomes, too.”
++BLACK FRAMES++
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Johnson, Awarded Nobel memorial prize in Economics:
“So, the British figured this out the long, hard way in the 19th century. The Americans had a civil war, which this absolutely featured as an important element, and then a long fight for civil rights. And many other countries have taken their own paths. So, it's not one size fits all. There are many countries that have chosen quite different institutional arrangements. Japan, for example, made up its own mind and it did a mix and match at the end of the 19th century; took some time to get for that to turn into inclusive prosperity. But it did and it has. So, there's many ways to do it. But focusing on that, what will deliver inclusive prosperity through inclusive, legitimate political participation, I think that turns out to be the key."
++BLACK FRAMES++
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Johnson, Awarded Nobel memorial prize in Economics:
“I think there's a lot of pressure on democracy in the United States. Actually, I don't think it, I mean, we all see that. And the key issue is, do you accept the results of legitimate free and fair elections? So, not accepting the result of the 2020 election, instigating people to attack Congress on January 6th, 2021 – these are big problems, and these are the kinds of actions that have historically in other situations really undermined democracy. And that means undermining the economic basis of shared prosperity. So, we'll see what happens in November. But when you have rules, you need to play by the rules, and everyone needs to play by the rules. And when you try to break the rules, overthrow the rules, not respect the rules, that leads to a lot of trouble.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Johnson, Awarded Nobel memorial prize in Economics:
“We should recognize that China has had a good run, but sustaining this prosperity now is going to be difficult. I think all countries struggle with that. And to my mind, the arrangements they have in China have not become more inclusive at the political level. In recent decades, they've become more, let's call it, ‘elite driven.’ And what our work says and is, is historical pattern. It doesn't mean something bad happens the next month or the next year. But as a historical pattern, when you get that elite driven type of outcome, it's harder to share prosperity to sustain growth.”

LEADIN:

A museum in Stockholm is entertaining - and perplexing - visitors with optical illusions.

The Paradox Museum specializes in special effects and mind-boggling optical illusions.

STORYLINE:

Welcome to the Paradox Museum, Stockholm... where almost everything is not as it seems.

The museum is full of interactive optical illusions, designed to get visitors to question what they see.

"It's about tricking your brain and talking about paradoxes in different ways. Things that you see are not always what you see," explains Carolin Ribbe Mårtendal, general manager at Paradox Museum Stockholm.

"It does things to your brain. You need to think about what's actually true."

It's the brainchild of co-founder Miltos Kambourides, a Cypriot entrepreneur with a background in luxury resorts.

He wanted to create a museum that could combine science with a true entertainment experience - and generate a lot of images for Instagram and other social media sites.

The emphasis is clearly on fun rather than information, but the Paradox Museum also tries to cater for those who want to better understand the science behind the optical illusions.

"We like that it's interactive, that you learn physics and optics and (it's) very educational," says visitor Evelina Salme.

There's already a chain of Paradox Museums in other cities across the world, including Paris, Miami, Berlin, Barcelona, Las Vegas, Mumbai, Shanghai and London.

Founded in 2022, the Paradox Museum has already welcomed over 1.5 million visitors worldwide.

The Stockholm museum was the second to open, according to Ribbe Mårtendal, who says the museum appeals to the young at heart.

"It's a family thing going on for everybody that needs to be childish for a while," she smiles.

STORYLINE:
A Russian court on Monday convicted a French citizen of collecting military information and sentenced him to three years in prison.

Laurent Vinatier, a 48-year-old political scholar, who was arrested in Moscow in June, earlier admitted guilt, setting the stage for a fast-tracked trial.

His lawyers’ asked the court to sentence him to a fine.

In his remarks before the verdict, Vinatier, speaking Russian, reaffirmed that he fully recognized his guilt.

Detentions on charges of spying and collecting sensitive data have become increasingly frequent in Russia and its heavily politicized legal system since Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022.

Vinatier’s arrest came as tensions flared between Moscow and Paris following French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments about the possibility of deploying French troops in Ukraine.

Russian authorities accused Vinatier of failing to register as a “foreign agent” while collecting information about Russia’s “military and military-technical activities” that could be used to the detriment of the country’s security.

Vinatier is an adviser for the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, a Switzerland-based nongovernmental organisation.

It said in June that it was doing “everything possible to assist” him.

The prosecutors charged that Vinatier had collected military information during his meetings with three Russian citizens in Moscow in 2021-22.

The Russian citizens weren’t named in the indictment.

The charges carried a prison sentence of up to five years, but the prosecutors asked for 3 1/4 years in prison, given that he had fully admitted his guilt and cooperated with investigators.

Still, Vinatier’s lawyers argued the sentence sought by prosecutors was too harsh and asked the judge to sentence him to a fine.

While asking the judge for clemency, Vinatier pointed at his two children and his elderly parents he has to take care of.

STORYLINE:
Rescuers removed dead bodies after an Israeli airstrike hit an apartment building in northern Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 21 people, according to the Lebanese Red Cross.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military and it was not clear what the target was.

The strike hit a small apartment building in the Christian-majority village of Aito in Zagharta, far from the Hezbollah militant group’s main areas of influence in the south and east of the country.

Footage from Lebanese media showed a large plume of smoke rising from the hilly village, with several destroyed cars next to a severely damaged building, as people tried to remove bodies from beneath rubble and trees.

This also comes as Lebanese officials say another Israeli airstrike hit near an aid convoy in Lebanon, wounding a driver and lightly damaging the trucks as they passed through the Bekaa.

Some 2,300 people have been killed by Israeli strikes across Lebanon since last October, more than three-quarters of them in the past month, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

The airstrikes, and Israel's subsequent ground invasion of southern Lebanon, which Israel says are targeting Hezbollah, have forced the displacement of more than 1.2 million people and caused widespread destruction across the country.

The reason is that Iran is supporting Russia's drone and missile terror against innocent civilians in Ukraine. The daily killing and the death of innocent people that we see would not be possible without the supplies and the supply lines by Iran. And therefore, these sanctions against Iran are sending a very clear message. Contributions to terror and Russia's illegal war of aggression have serious consequences."

STORYLINE:
The European Union on Monday imposed sanctions on Iran’s deputy defense minister, senior members of its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and three airlines over allegations that they supplied drones, missiles and other equipment to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.

Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the new measures during an appearance in Berlin, alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

"The daily killing and the death of innocent people that we see would not be possible without the supplies and the supply lines by Iran. And therefore, these sanctions against Iran are sending a very clear message. Contributions to terror and Russia's illegal war of aggression have serious consequences," von der Leyen said.

Iranian Deputy Defense Minister Seyed Hamzeh Ghalandari is one of seven senior officials now banned from traveling in Europe and whose assets in the bloc were frozen.

The EU said he “is involved in the development of Iran’s (drone) and missile program,” given his high-level defense role.

Iran Air, Mahan Air and Saha Airlines had their assets frozen.

The EU said their planes were “used repeatedly to transfer Iranian-made unmanned aerial vehicles and related technologies to Russia, which have been used in Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.”

EU foreign ministers endorsed the sanctions at a meeting in Luxembourg.

In March, the bloc had warned that “were Iran to transfer ballistic missiles and related technology to Russia for use against Ukraine, the EU would be prepared to respond swiftly, including with new and significant restrictive measures.”

EU member countries, with the exception of Hungary, have been supplying weapons and ammunition as well as economic and other support to Ukraine worth some 118 billion euros ($129 billion) since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral on Monday of one of the soldiers killed in a Hezbollah drone attack on a military base in Israel late Sunday.

The attack near the city of Binyamina killed four soldiers and wounded 61.

It was the deadliest strike by the militant group since Israel launched its ground invasion of Lebanon two weeks ago.

Due to Home Front Command restrictions, Sgt. Alon Amitai, 19, will be laid to rest later, without the public, in his community in Ramot Naftali.

With Israel’s advanced air-defense systems, it’s rare for so many people to be injured by drones or missiles.

Hezbollah and Israel have traded fire almost daily in the year since the war in Gaza began, and fighting has escalated.

Israel launched its ground operation in Lebanon earlier this month with the goal of weakening Hezbollah and pushing the militant group away from the border to allow thousands of displaced Israelis to return to their homes.

STORYLINE:
The Nobel memorial prize in economics was awarded Monday to James A. Robinson, Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson for research that explains why societies with poor rule of law and exploitative institutions do not generate sustainable growth.

The three economists “have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity,” the Nobel committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said at the announcement in Stockholm.

Acemoglu and Johnson work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while Robinson conducts his research at the University of Chicago.

"Ii's a huge kind of honor," Robinson said. "I don't know, it'll take a bit of time for it to sink in, probably."

LEADIN:

General Motors brand Cadillac is showing off two electric SUVs at the Paris Motor Show, as it re-enters the European market.

From an autonomous vehicle driving perspective, it's a case of "hands off the wheel, eyes on the road."

STORYLINE:

The Cadillac Lyriq, a midsize SUV, can go more than 300 miles on a single charge.

It comes with sleek looks, a premium interior, internet connectivity, a 33-inch dashboard touch screen and goes head-to-head with Tesla’s Model Y small SUV.

"We’re celebrating a key milestone on our more than 100 years of history because General Motors is back in Europe and we're back in Europe with a clear vision," says Pere Brugal, managing director of General Motors Europe.

GM is rolling out a series of electric SUVs, including a Chevrolet Equinox, as well as a Chevy Silverado EV pickup truck, GMC Hummer EVs and some Cadillac SUVs.

It also plans to come out with a new version of the Chevrolet Bolt in 2025.

Brugal says from 2020 to 2025, General Motors spent $35 billion of investment on electric vehicle and autonomous vehicle technologies.

That includes Cadillac’s hands-free Super Cruise driving feature.

"Super Cruise is a level two plus autonomous vehicle driving technology. It's basically we call it hands off the wheel, eyes on the road," says Brugal.

Cadillac’s Optiq SUV is a new option for electric SUV shoppers who might have otherwise considered an Audi Q4 e-tron or Tesla Model Y.

A follow-up to the larger Lyriq luxury SUV, the smaller, less expensive Optiq targets mainstream car buyers.

It has all-wheel drive, 300 horsepower and 300 miles of range.

Chinese car manufacturer XPeng unveiled it's much anticipated new P7+ electric sedan on day one of the Paris Motor Show on Monday.

XPeng claim the model is the world's first 'AI (artificial intelligence) defined vehicle' and is equipped with Xpeng's so-called "Eagle Eye" vision solution, powered by two Nvidia Orin X chips.

It also features Xpeng's XNGP (Xpeng navigation guided pilot) assisted driving feature.

"Thanks to our relentless focus on innovation, XPeng's features are at least one generation ahead of most EVs (electric vehicles) on the market," says Dr. Brian Gu, Honorary Vice Chairman of the Board and Co-President XPeng

"For example, XPeng's Navigation Guided Pilot, which we call NGP, provides nationwide compass driving coverage regardless of cities, routes and locations. And by the end of this year, you can expect door-to-door NGP experience to be accomplished," he adds.

For those consumers who value power over smart driving capabilities, XPeng also showed off a new variant of its flagship electric SUV (sport utility vehicle), the G9 - the G9 650 Pro.

But what the Chinese brand is most excited about is growing it's name within Europe.

As part of the steps to make that happen, it's teamed up with German car giant Volkswagen.

XPeng hopes to become "the number one Chinese premium EV brand in overseas markets," says Gu.

"Well, we've been studying, you know, really inequality in the world today and historically trying to understand the enormous inequalities between prosperous countries like the United States and poor countries. And so I think like trying to understand those differences and why they exist and what you can do about them, that's been the focus of our research. And I think that's hopefully that's important for for everyone."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) James A. Robinson, Nobel Laureate, Economic Sciences.:
"My view, our view of the world is that, you know, changing these differences you see in the world today is not it's not really about economists. It's not really about clever ideas or it's not engineering or technical solutions. People in poor countries understand the problems, you know, but they have to combine. They have to unite. They have to act collectively to change their situation. And maybe ideas can help. Ideas can help them understand the challenges in their society."

"If I take the new Q6 Sportback E-Tron, one of our heroes of the day since this is a world premiere here in Paris that we just had the unveil. This car recharges completely quickly with 270 kW maximum recharge. You can do in 21 minutes 80 per cent of the battery. We have super power, 516hp if you want the sport version. And most importantly in the other version, the A6 E-Tron autonomy goes up to 750km. So we get into a new era of electric mobility and this coupled with the design of Audi and the ingredients of connectivity that makes this product absolutely fantastic."

A lot of its core model range has need replacing for some time, it's been a bit slow to update and replace some of them. It's now getting around to that, there's been a flurry of new models over the last year or so. We'll see more.... see them go on the road within the next year or so as well. I think Audi really needs that right now."

LEADIN:

Audi has unveiled its new sporty electric SUV - the Q6 Sportback E-Tron - at the Paris Motor Show.

But some industry experts say the Audi brand was starting to feel a bit "outdated" and in need of a refresh.

STORYLINE:

Audi pulls back the covers on its new Q6 Sportback E-Tron, presenting it for the first time at the Paris Motor Show.

This electric SUV has a sleeker and sportier restyling - for example, the roofline has been lowered by 37mm.

Audi is promising a range of up to 656km from its new EV.

But despite the range, the new Q6 is no slouch - in fact, the electric motor of the rear-wheel drive Sportback e-tron has an output of 225 kW and goes from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62.5mph) in 6.6 seconds for the performance model variant.

All variants of the Q6 Sportback have a top fixed speed of 131mph.

Audi hopes the new Sportback will offer the spaciousness of an SUV with the more elegant lines of a coupe.

For example, with the rear seats folded away the Sportback offers 1,373 litres of luggage capacity.

The long wheelbase of 2.89 metres means there is plenty of room for passengers, even those sitting in the back.

During the press conference Audi claimed "it was back".

But Jake Groves, the deputy news editor of the UK's Car Magazine said Audi's revamp was much needed.

"Thank you very much. Thank you. I am absolutely delighted. This is a great honor, and it's very meaningful that I'm in Athens, a beautiful country, a country which is the birthplace of democracy. And I have written about both Athens' history and democracy a lot. So it's a nice coincidence."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Daron Acemoglu, economist:
"Some of my work has focused on institutional effect, both long term or short term. And that's the one that the Nobel committee emphasized, and I'm delighted about that. Some of the work that I've talked about here is about AI and other challenges facing us. They're actually intertwined because, as I emphasize this morning, it is institutional strength that's going to be key during a time of turbulence. So I'm delighted that those different pieces of my work are coming together. I think they are relevant for today. So that's doubly good for me. And hopefully it's a conversation that other people can participate in because it's really important how we deal with aging, how we deal with AI, inequality, the nature of work, climate change. I think these are critical questions for us."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Daron Acemoglu, economist:
"I think the world of tomorrow is going to have many challenges for every country, for many middle income, high to middle income countries, the changes in globalization and AI are going to create opportunities and challenges. So it's really important to use technology right, but invest in human talent and human resources, in training, in flexibility and in institutions."
++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++
STORYLINE:
Economist Daron Acemoglu said he was"absolutely delighted" to receive the Nobel prize in economics Monday.

The Nobel memorial prize in economics was awarded Monday to Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James A. Robinson for research that explains why societies with poor rule of law and exploitative institutions do not generate sustainable growth.

The three economists “have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity,” the Nobel committee of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said at the announcement in Stockholm.

Turkish-born Acemoglu was speaking at an economics conference in Athens, Greece, when the announcement was made.

"This is a great honor, and it's very meaningful that I'm in Athens, a beautiful country, a country which is the birthplace of democracy. And I have written about both Athens’ history and democracy a lot. So it's a nice coincidence," he told media at the conference.

Acemoglu and Robinson wrote the 2012 bestseller "Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty," which argued that manmade problems were responsible for keeping countries poor.

Acemoglu and Johnson work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Robinson conducts his research at the University of Chicago.

"Some of my work has focused on institutional effect, both long term or short term. And that's the one that the Nobel committee emphasized, and I'm delighted about that," Acemoglu said.

STORYLINE:
At least three police officers and four insurgents were killed in an attack on a police station on Monday in the district of Bannu in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistani police said.

No one has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Suspicion is likely to fall on the Pakistani Taliban, who often target security forces across the country.

"We came to know that armed militants attacked nearby police station," said local resident Rehmatullah Khan.

"Intermittent fighting is still going on and there are reports of gun fires between the police and militants, as a result of which police and militants have been killed, as well as the city of Bannu being completely shut down.”

Earlier in the day, China's Premier Li Qiang arrived in Islamabad for a two-day meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization starting on Tuesday to discuss how to boost security and economic ties between the member states.

Li is the most prominent leader attending this week's meeting in Pakistan of a regional security grouping that was founded by Russia and China to counter Western alliances, despite a surge in militant violence in the country.

During his three-day visit, Li will also meet with Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and senior political and military leadership.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said the SCO meeting will also be attended by representatives of Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

It said Iran's vice president and the Indian foreign minister would also attend.

Sri Lanka closed schools in the capital Colombo and other areas on Monday as heavy rains triggered floods in many parts of the island nation.

Heavy downpours over the weekend have wreaked havoc in many parts of the country, flooding homes, fields and roads. Three people drowned, while some 134,000 people have been affected by flooding, according to the country's Disaster Management Centre.

The center said rains and floods have damaged 240 houses and nearly 7,000 people have been evacuated. Authorities have cut electricity in some areas as a precaution.

Navy and army troops have been deployed to rescue victims and provide food and other essentials.

Local television channels showed flooded towns in the suburbs of Colombo. In some areas, waters reached the roofs of houses and shops.

Sri Lanka has been grappling with severe weather conditions since May, mostly caused by heavy monsoon rains. In June, 16 people died due to floods and mudslides.

LEADIN:

At Paris Motor Show, German automaker Volkswagen has unveiled its latest SUV for the European market, the hybrid Tayron.

It comes as Volkswagen is considering closing some factories in its home country for the first time in the German automaker’s 87-year history, saying it otherwise won’t meet the cost-cutting goals it needs to remain competitive.

STORYLINE:

Volkswagen's new Tayron SUV is the brand’s second-largest SUV in Europe after the Touareg.

It’s built for passengers and luggage, coming with five or optionally seven seats.

Volkswagen says the Tayron’s eHybrid “offers superior power delivery and becomes an electric car for everyday driving with an electric range of over 100 km.”

But the company says the SUV is also built for long journeys with 850 kilometers between refueling stops.

Available to order now, Volkswagen says the new Tayron SUV starts from 45,475 euros.

Martin Sander, board member for sales, marketing and after sales, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, says between now and 2027, the brand will launch 8 new all-electric models, including the electric Golf.

"This broad portfolio and flexibility will give us our competitive advantage in the market of electric vehicles," he says.

Volkswagen is considering closing some factories in its home country for the first time in the German automaker’s 87-year history, saying it otherwise won’t meet the cost-cutting goals it needs to remain competitive.

Volkswagen must sell more electric cars to meet ever-lower European Union emission limits that take effect starting next year.

Yet the company is seeing lower profit margins from those vehicles due to high battery costs and weaker demand for EVs in Europe due to the withdrawal of consumer subsidies and the slow rollout of public charging stations.

Meanwhile, VW’s electric vehicles also face stiff competition in China from models made by local companies.

Profits have also declined at Germany’s BMW and Mercedes-Benz thanks to the same pressures.

3. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Mao Ning, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson:
“Taiwan's independence is as incompatible with peace in the Taiwan Strait as fire with water. Provocation by the Taiwan independence forces will surely be met with countermeasures. China has been committed to upholding regional peace and stability, and this is obvious to all regional countries. If one truly cares about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, it should first and foremost reject Taiwanese independence.”

“Taiwan is part of China and the Taiwan question is China’s internal affairs that allow no external interference. If the U.S. really cares about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and the prosperity of the region, it should abide by the one-China principle and the three China-US joint communique, earnestly put into practice the US leader’s commitment not to supporting Taiwan independence, stop arming Taiwan and stop sending any wrong signals to the separatist Taiwan independence forces.”
