Paris fashion week opened in unique style on Monday, with students cutting the virtual ribbon for women's ready-to-wear collections at a time of unprecedented chaos in the fashion calendar. Deserted by several heavyweight designers, and still imprisoned online by the pandemic, organisers turned to students from the French Institute of Fashion for a dose of hope and renewal. "People have been much more open. They want to keep fashion alive and give as many opportunities as possible to young designers," said one of those presenting in the opening video, Clement Picot. He drew inspiration from horror films such as "The Shining" and "American Psycho" for his contribution, full of oversized comic-book shoulders that he said were a mix of his dreams and nightmares. For youngsters like Picot, the need to stay virtual is no problem: "I will be able to watch this video all my life. It's maybe even more personal this way." But this fashion week, the fourth in Paris since the start of ... » Learn More about Students launch chaotic Paris Fashion Week

The world's hopes for curbing climate change hinge on action by two giant nations whose relations are deteriorating: China and the United States. The two countries both say they are intent on retooling their economies to burn less climate-wrecking coal, oil and gas. But tensions between them threaten their ultimate success. China and the United States are the world's No. 1 and No. 2 carbon polluters , respectively, pumping out nearly half of the fossil fuel fumes that are warming the planet's atmosphere. The fast cuts in carbon needed to stave off the worst of climate change are all but impossible unless these countries work together and basically trust each other's pledges. During the Trump administration, the U.S. used China's emissions as an excuse not to act, and in the past China pointed to U.S. historical emissions as a reason to resist action. New details of how quickly China plans to reduce carbon emissions will be revealed Friday when Beijing releases its next ... » Learn More about US-China tensions threaten global climate change efforts

Pakistan will have to make further legislation on at least two counts to meet three outstanding benchmarks of the 27-point action plan of the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog FATF before the new June deadline, a media report said on Tuesday. The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) placed Pakistan on the grey list in June 2018 and asked Islamabad to implement a plan of action to curb money laundering and terror financing by the end of 2019 but the deadline was extended later on due to COVID-19 pandemic. The new deadline was set by the FATF last month. Pakistan has been scrambling in recent months to avoid being added to a list of countries deemed non-compliant with anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regulations by the FATF, a measure that officials here fear could further hurt its ailing economy. The Dawn newspaper reported that the government will have to submit an updated report within a month to the FATF on the progress on ... » Learn More about Pakistan needs legislation to meet three outstanding FATF benchmarks: Report

Three Republican U.S. lawmakers have introduced a legislation in Congress to bar American employers from hiring H-1B workers, who are mostly highly-skilled Indian IT professionals, if they have recently, or plan to fire their local workers, seeking to put an end to the “allure of cheap foreign labour”. Introduced in the House of Representatives by Republican congressmen Mo Brooks, Matt Gaetz and Lance Gooden, the American Jobs First Act proposes to overhaul the H-1B visa programme by making necessary changes in the Immigration and Nationality Act. The H-1B visa, most-sought after among Indian IT professionals, is a non-immigrant visa that allows U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in speciality occupations that require theoretical or technical expertise. Technology companies depend on it to hire tens of thousands of employees each year from countries like India and China. According to its text released on March 3, a foreign guest worker may not be admitted or provided ... » Learn More about H-1B visa: Three Republicans bring legislation in Congress to end ‘allure of cheap foreign labour’

Paris: Nuclear power is responsible for 10 percent of the world's electricity production, but it remains a controversial source of energy, a decade after the tsunami that triggered the Fukushima nuclear crisis. Here is a look at the state of nuclear energy around the world: - Fewer reactors - "It was an industry in serious crisis globally before the Fukushima events happened. This crisis has worsened considerably since then," said Mycle Schneider , an independent analyst and consultant on energy and nuclear policy based in Paris. The high costs of construction and concerns about safety have cooled interest in the industry. The number of nuclear reactors has receded in the past decade, from 429 in 2010 to 412 at the end of last year, according to Schneider, author of an annual report critical of the sector. But energy generation has increased, from 365.3 gigawatts in 2010 to 367.1 in 2020, as new reactors tend to be more powerful while older facilities were upgraded. ... » Learn More about Nuclear power sector ‘in crisis’ 10 years after Fukushima disaster

The planet is indeed on "red alert" as United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday. Not least because the climate action policies of most countries will not come close to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement. The UN secretary-general described 2021 as the "make or break year" following the release of a UN Framework Convention on Climate Change report, which analyzed the updated action plans submitted by 75 nations ahead of November's COP26 climate summit. The current policies were found not to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. With the current policies, it will not be possible to halt global warming to below 2 C, preferably 1.5 C, compared to pre-industrial levels, by the end of the century to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. According to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, CO2 emissions must be reduced by about 45 percent by 2030 from the 2010 level and reach net zero by 2050 to ensure this temperature limit goal is reached. ... » Learn More about Exemplary efforts for more climate action: China Daily editorial
