"Los medios ocultan el fraude"Giuliani quiso también dirigirse a los medios de comunicación. Muy afectado por la censura que están viviendo los republicanos, el abogado de Trump dijo claramente que "la prensa está mintiendo a la gente". Sobre todo cuando el mainstream mediático sentencia que no hay pruebas. "Tenemos las evidencias. No saben lo frustrante que es ver cómo los medios dicen que no tenemos evidencias. No sé qué es lo que necesitan para despertarse y para que informen a la gente, les guste o no. Esto que está pasando es real. No son inventos. Nadie está aquí contando fantasías.
Boris warned he risks losing Red Wall voters if he fails to deliver on Brexit and BBCBORIS JOHNSON has been warned he could risk losing essential Red Wall voters if he fails to deliver on Brexit and the BBC.With the Brexit October deadline coming and going, Britain and the EU are scrambling to secure a deal before the end of the transition period. The Prime Minister has also been criticised for shelving plans to decriminalise the BBC.During last year’s general election, senior Tory MPs attacked the BBC accusing the corporation of bias.Mr Johnson shelved plans to decriminalise non-payments of the mandatory TV licence amid Downing Street chaos as BBC critic Dominic Cummings resigned last week.During the general election last year, the Conservative party won several Labour-stronghold seats in the North of England over promises of Brexit and reforming the BBC.But now the campaign group, Defund the BBC, has warned the Prime Minister he could risk losing essential votes if he fails to deliver on election promises.Rebecca Ryan, campaign director at Defund the BBC, told Express.co.uk: “If he does not deliver on promises he could lose the Red Wall.“It’s very clear there were a huge amount of votes that were lent to the Conservative Party based on their promises basically for reforming the establishment in a lot of ways.“Certainly delivering Brexit and on dealing with the BBC as well.“You can look at it and say he has got another four years anyway, in the interim if he can claw that back.“But if he doesn’t deliver on those, there would be a huge amount of people voting against Conservatives in the country.”Ms Ryan went on to add the Prime Minister risks losing seats from all over the country as their supporters feel “completely marginalised”.She continued: “Not just in the Red Wall either.“We find that a lot of our supporters come from all over the country.“They are pretty much the exact people who are swing voters, outside metropolitan areas, they are in towns and the countryside who just feel completely marginalised.“So, if he doesn’t deliver on what he set out in his election campaign, then I think he could be in trouble in the next election.”Three million pensioners have now been forced to pay £157.50 for a TV licence after the BBC ditched its pledge of free TV licences for the over-75s.Only those who receive pension credit benefit and are aged over 75 will be eligible for a free licence.The licence fee is the annual cost viewers must pay in the UK and funds the TV, radio and online services of the BBC.Those caught watching television without a licence can be fined up to £1,000 in addition to court costs.Ms Ryan went on to explain how the decision to shelf the plans is “deeply frustrating” for the campaign group.She continued: “It’s deeply frustrating, you wonder what’s behind it because in some briefings in the papers it said it was all tied in with the Dominic Cummings drama over the last weekend.“The briefing came out that there was going to be a change of position and now actually the BBC stuff might be rolled back because apparently it was losing government support.“But we would contest that very strongly.“What our supporters are telling us is that they would really like the government to push on with what they believe was promised in the election.”
EU chaos: Defiant Brussels could REMOVE Hungary and Poland from bloc in budget stand-offHUNGARY AND POLAND could be forced out of the European Union in a bold bombshell move from Brussels, amid growing outrage at the member-states' veto of the EU budget package.(...) German Chancellor Angela Merkel refused to say whether one of the options being considered would be to threaten the two countries with taking away their voting rights.The German Chancellor responded: “For me the word ‘threaten’ is not the right word in this context."We are obliged to try to find a way out. It’s a serious problem that we have to solve and we will work hard and earnestly on it."However, Financial Times' Paris bureau chief Victor Mallet suggested that Brussels may go even further and force the two countries out of the bloc entirely.He told France 24: "If Hungary and Poland go against the rule of law, they won't be welcome for much longer. Nobody wants them to leave, they want them to change their ways."The European Union has been in frequent clashes with both Poland and Hungary because of national policies the bloc has denounced as undermining the core values of the bloc.Mr Mallet suggested that there could be a climbdown from Hungary and Poland by the next EU summit on December 10th.He also suggested that the Poland and Hungary gameplan was to "block up the EU budget for a year, because they can wait that long, and that would put pressure on southern European countries, who can't wait that long".The France 24 host questioned whether this was "an existential moment for the EU, not unlike Brexit".France 24's Philip Turle responded by saying: "The behaviour of Poland and Hungary is unacceptable to Brussels."The EU does not want to lose those two countries but it's also not willing to put up with two countries laying down the law and demanding equal treatment as other countries, who are respecting EU law.He added: "Poland and Hungary receive 5 percent of their GDP from Brussels, so they need the money."But, they don't want to feel like they are being blackmailed by Brussels into changing their ways."Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said a dispute over the EU’s coronavirus recovery fund and budget can be solved.He told state radio on Friday that there will be an agreement “in the end".
Call me crazy for taking the man with hair dye dripping down his cheeks seriously, but I think it would be unfair to dismiss Rudy Giuliani. Amusingly shambolic he may be. That doesn’t mean he is wrong.The media has been claiming since the election ended that President Trump’s claims of voter fraud are ‘baseless’ and ‘without evidence’. That just is not true. The President’s lawyer gave examples of it during today’s press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington DC. But everyone is too busy mocking him to pay attention.[...]I felt like I was living in a different reality when we moved into the question-and-answer portion of the presser and reporters repeatedly demanded Giuliani ‘give us the evidence’. Trump campaign legal adviser Jenna Ellis was right when she said that ‘court cases take time to build and to try. This is not an episode of Law & Order’. I did not feel entirely satisfied by what was presented at the presser, but I am intrigued enough to want the process to play out properly in court. Any honest American should want the same. This is not a trial by media — we cannot expect a legal team to unveil all of their evidence before they get their day in court. It is too early to dismiss Giuliani’s efforts as a mere clown show.
El Gobierno se la juega con los rescates: será el último en cobrar si las empresas quiebranHasta ahora el Estado está concediendo las ayudas a través de préstamos participativos, que tienen carácter subordinado y, en caso de insolvencia, solo cobrará cuando los demás acreedores lo hayan hecho

Struggling Retailers Owe $52 Billion In Overdue Rents(...) The problem with overdue rents, totaling $52 billion as of November, is that retail sales growth in October slumped and is expected to wane into year-end. (...)While the brick and mortar retail "apocalypse" was already a problem for the US economy ahead of the virus pandemic thanks to the destructive forces of Amazon and the e-commerce boom, the pandemic continues to complicate the outlook for retailers that may extend the bankruptcy wave well into 2021.
Battery Life: The Race To Find A Storage Solution For A Green Energy Future(...)It proved to be a test case for how the grid will look in the future, when there is a greater share of renewable energy, says Peter Kavanagh, chief executive of Harmony Energy, which provides power to the grid from six Tesla lithium-ion batteries in Poole on England’s south coast.“Solar and wind are the cheapest form of generation in multiple countries, but you need that storage to make it work once you have got the renewable penetration to a certain size of your energy mix, like we saw during Covid,” he says. “Covid has . . . proven the business case [for battery storage] five years in advance.”Beyond Lithium-Ion: Energy Storage TechnologiesStorage of renewable energy requires low-cost technologies that have long cycle lives — where they can be charged and discharged many times — are safe and can store enough energy cost effectively to match demand.Vanadium redox-flow batteries use two tanks containing positive and negatively charged liquid vanadium electrolytes that are pumped past a membrane in a cell. The batteries have less degradation than lithium-ion and a longer cycle life.Liquid air is cooled to minus 196C, after which it is stored in tanks. It is then heated, which drives a turbine to generate power. An alternative uses heated compressed air to store energy in purpose-built caverns.Gravity storage involves lifting heavy blocks up and down abandoned mine shafts as a way to store and generate energy.Thermal energy storage Matla, a company backed by Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy Ventures, stores energy as heat in the form of molten salts. The company says the technology can last longer than 20 years and is suitable for six-plus hours of storage.Liquid metal batteries uses metals that naturally separate when heated to form a cathode and anode separated by a salt electrolyte. Once initially heated the battery maintains its high operating temperature by generating heat on discharge and charge.Low-cost batteries using cheap raw materials such as iron, sulphur and zinc offer alternatives to lithium-ion battery technology. Zinc-based battery developer EOS, for instance, says its battery has capacity to discharge energy over three to 12 hours. Form Energy, a start-up backed by Bill Gates, says its battery can store energy cost effectively for up to 150 hoursHydrogen using electricity to produce hydrogen is a way of storing energy, but there is a substantial loss of energy in the process, making it less efficient than batteries.
Europa debe hacer frente a Hungría y Polonia, George Soros(...)La única que puede ayudar es la UE. Un modo de hacerlo, por ejemplo, es transferir sus fondos directamente a las autoridades municipales, donde todavía hay en Hungría una democracia en funcionamiento, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en el nivel nacional.La UE no puede ceder en lo referido a sus normas sobre el respeto al Estado de Derecho. De cómo responda al desafío de Orbán y Kaczyński dependerá su continuidad como sociedad abierta fiel a sus valores fundacionales.
