President Biden’s administration opened the door Friday to more offshore oil and gas drilling in federal waters over the next five years, setting a course for future U.S. fossil fuel extraction just a day after a major climate setback at the Supreme Court. The proposed offshore drilling program between 2023 and 2028 would ban exploration off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.

Two ex-ministers have told the Guardian they think it not possible for Johnson to stay till the autumn. One said: “He needs to be gone by tonight, Raab should take over.” Another said: “He needs to hand in the seals of office today and go.

Brown said he ruled out running under the banner of the federal party if Poiliev took the top spot and his appeal could be to ask Brampton voters to return him to the mayor’s office. “If it looks like Pierre is going to win, I would rather go to the polls than be part of a Conservative election wreck,” Brown told CBC News.

Auch Caritas-Präsidentin Landau erinnert an die notwendigen weiteren Schritte: „Allen Beteiligten muss klar sein: Der Ausstieg aus der Pflegekrise ist nicht beendet. Es braucht vor allem Glaubwürdigkeit und langfristige Lösungen über die jetzt beschlossenen zwei Jahre hinaus sowie eine Harmonisierung der Pflegelandschaften in den Bundesländern. Aufgrund der aktuellen Preissteigerungen sind außerordentliche Inflationsanpassungen der seit ihrer Einführung vor 15 Jahren nicht angepassten 24-Stunden-Pflegeförderung und des Pflegegeldes dringend erforderlich. Beim Pflegegeld wurde eine Kapitalisierung vorgenommen, die jedoch den erheblichen Wertverlust, der durch die fehlende Anpassung in den Vorjahren und den aktuellen Preisanstieg eingetreten ist, nicht kompensieren kann....
