Richard Branson’s Virgin wins a lawsuit against Florida’s Brightline over rebranding

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:22:53 GMT

LONDON (AP) — A British judge ruled in favor of Richard Branson’s Virgin group on Thursday in its lawsuit against a U.S. train company that terminated a licensing agreement and claimed the Virgin brand was no longer one of “high repute.”Judge Mark Pelling ruled in favor of Virgin Enterprises, which had sued Florida passenger train operator Brightline Holdings for breaching an agreement to rebrand as Virgin Trains USA. Brightline said it was disappointed with the ruling and planned to appeal.The lawsuit was over a deal the two companies struck in 2018 and Brightline pulled out of two years later. It came shortly after the Virgin Atlantic airline filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and Virgin lost the U.K. train franchise it had held for two decades.Brightline argued that Virgin had “ceased to constitute a brand of international high repute, largely because of matters related to the pandemic.” Virgin Atlantic fought financial support from the British government after COV...

German gas deal with Qatar under renewed scrutiny

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:22:53 GMT

BERLIN — A high-level state visit by Qatar’s emir to Germany has raised fresh criticism of Berlin’s deal to import natural gas with the gulf state, which is seen as a major sponsor of the Palestinian militant group Hamas.Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani met with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock as well as President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in the German capital on Thursday. None of the meetings were followed by appearances in front of the press, a fact that underscores the political sensitivity of the visit.Coinciding with the visit, some members of Scholz’s ruring coalition sharply criticized plans to import more liquified natural gas, or LNG, from Qatar.“Future energy partnerships should only take place with partners who recognize Israel’s right to exist and do not fight it,” said Michael Kruse, the energy policy spokesperson of the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), which rules in a coalition with Scholz’s center-left Socia...

Finland says ‘state actor’ might be involved in gas pipeline damage

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:22:53 GMT

Finland’s intelligence services said Thursday that a “state actor” could have perpetrated the damage to a Baltic Sea gas pipeline that happened over the weekend.“Involvement of a state actor in this job cannot be ruled out,” Finnish Security Intelligence Service Director Antti Pelttari said during a press conference, Reuters reported. “Who is behind this is a matter for the preliminary investigation. We do not comment on it in more detail.” On Tuesday, Finland confirmed that a 77-kilometer-long Balticconnector pipeline that links NATO members Finland and Estonia under the Gulf of Finland suffered a leak after an “unusual” drop in pressure. At the same time, Finnish telecoms operator Elisa reported it had detected a malfunction on an undersea cable it uses to verify communication connections. Senior Finnish officials said the damage to both the gas pipeline and communication cable was likely to have been caused by “external activity,” raising concerns ove...

TikTok’s Chief Executive Officer Shou Zi Chew was asked on Thursday to tell the European Commission within 24 hours how it is protecting children and teenagers from violent content and misinformation around the Israel-Hamas conflict. The letter by Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton is the latest of a series of public calls to chiefs of popular social media platforms to lay out the measures they have taken to stem the spread of false information and violent content depicting hostage-taking following the gruesome attacks in Israel over the weekend.Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, owner of X (formerly Twitter) also received letters. The EU’s pressure comes as part of the European Union’s content moderation law, the Digital Services Act (DSA).

Why Germany is rattled about sending its Taurus missile to Ukraine

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:22:53 GMT

BERLIN — The U.K. and France have supplied Ukraine with powerful cruise missiles but Berlin is balking at doing the same.While the dithering from German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is enraging Kyiv, there are some reasons for Berlin’s caution.To the untrained eye, there is little to differentiate the two missiles.Both are launched from fighter jets, they are both around 5 meters long and weigh about the same, 1,300 kilograms for the Storm Shadow/SCALP and 1,400 kg more for the Taurus. Each has a range of about 500 kilometers and very similar warheads — 450 kg for Storm Shadow/SCALP and 461 kg for Taurus.German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed on Wednesday during the NATO ministerial meeting in Brussels that Berlin will not send the missile to Ukraine. So why the fuss in Germany?It’s about the fuze, according to Fabian Hoffmann, a doctoral research fellow and missile expert at the University of Oslo, who dug into the differing devices that each missile family uses to...
