G20 finance ministers meet in Argentina as trade dominates agenda G20 finance ministers meet this weekend in Buenos Aires in their first meetingsince global trade tensions moved beyond rhetoric into a volley of tariffs and counter-tariffs. Trade will dominate the agenda in the Argentine capital, with much attention likely to be focused on US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin as he looks to "respond to concerns on US trade policies" at the gathering of finance ministers and central bankers from the worldʼs 20 leading economies. The EU, China and Canada will be among those represented, with all of those having come into direct conflict with the trade polices of US President Donald Trump in recent weeks and months.

Angela Merkel rejects Donald Trumpʼs definition of EU as ʼfoeʼ The German chancellor stressed that Europe and the US are not enemies

Sweden now fighting 50 wildfires as EU nations rush water bombers More than 50 wildfires — 10 more than the previous day — are now alight across central and western Sweden, but also above the Arctic Circle, authorities confirmed on Friday. Swedenʼs head of civil defense Dan Eliasson said fire crews were struggling to bring the most ferocious forest fires in years under control. He said four of the fires had become too large for firefighters to extinguish.

And with no rain in sight, the situation was unlikely to improve over the weekend, he said.

Germany remembers failed Hitler assassination with attack on populism In her annual summer press Q&A session, the German chancellor stressed that Europe and the US are not enemies. She also held up the EU as a model of a "win-win" situation — words clearly aimed in Washingtonʼs direction.

In her yearly meet-the-press session before her summer vacation, Angela Merkel put forward the European Union as an example of cooperation and multilateralism. While reaffirming the centrality of Germanyʼs transAtlantic relations with the US, she acknowledged that US President Donald Trump had put the two countryʼs traditional friendship "under pressure." When asked whether she agreed with Trump that the US and the EU were "foes," the chancellor replied, "Iʼm not going to adopt that choice of words." When asked whyTrump seems to have developed an antipathy toward Germany, Merkel said that she "hadnʼt done any research into the root causes" but surmised that it may have to do with Germanyʼs economic might. She said that she has tried to argue against Trumpʼs accusations that Germany was maintaining a skewed balance of trade with the US with arguments, for

instance, thatthe trade balance actually favored the US when services were included. While avoiding confrontational language, Merkel sketched out a vision of a multilateral Europe ready to emancipate itself somewhat on the US and assume a greater role globally. Merkel said that events of the past months had "confirmed" the truth her statement from May 2017 that "the days when we could completely rely on the US are in part over." And she added that Europeʼs geography made it predestined to exert greater influence. "Itʼs legitimate for Europe to find a role of its own in the world," Merkel told journalists. "We have a number of the worldʼs conflicts directly on our doorstep. So Europe needs to play a greater role in resolving conflict."

That, Merkel said, would involve increased German spending on defense, if not at anything like the levels Trump has demanded.

The German foreign minister marked the 74th anniversary of the failed plot

by German army officers to assassinate Adolf Hitler by condemning todayʼs right-wing populists and calling for a more united Europe. The solemn military ceremony, in the courtyard of the Bendlerblock building in Berlin where Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and four of his coconspirators were executed after their attempted coup failed on July 20, 1944, is usually framed as a celebration of the re-establishment of justice in Germany following the aberration of Nazism, but this year there was a clear note of defiance against new farright populism in Europe and around the world.

US Sec of State Mike Pompeo urges UN members to uphold North Korea sanctions Americaʼs top diplomatMike Pompeotold the United Nations Security Council on Friday that member states stood united in seeking the denuclearization of North Korea, but insisted the strictenforcement of economic sanctionswas crucial to achieving this goal. "The countries of the Security Council are united on the need for final, fully verified denuclearization of North Korea as agreed to by Chairman Kim (Jong Un)," Pompeo said. "Strict enforcement of sanctions is critical to achieving this goal." After addressing the security council, Pompeo told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York that the US believed North Korea could shed its status as a "pariah" state, but stressed "it will take full enforcement of sanctions for us to get there."

EUʼs Barnier lukewarm over Brexit White Paper, warns on red tape

The British governmentʼs blueprint for its trading relations with the EU after it has left the bloc contains "useful" elements but many questions remain, EU chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier said on Friday.

"From our point of view there are ... several elements that open the way for a constructive discussion," he said, including plans for a free trade deal, a commitment to common standards and guarantees on fundamental rights.

But Barnier hinted that some of the proposalscontained in a White Paper published last week may be unworkable and questioned whether they were compatible with the EUʼs basic principles, or in the blocʼs interest.

"There are some points that are in contradiction with the guidelines" of the remaining 27 EU leaders, Barnier told reporters, citing the integrity of the EUʼs single market and the indivisibility of its four freedoms – free movement of goods, services, capital and persons.

Britain has indicated that will seek single market privileges for industrial and agricultural goods alone, while aiming for a much looser arrangement for the trade in services.

Carles Puigdemont free to travel as German court formally closes extradition case Officials said Puigdemont was free to leave Germany

Several injured in attack on bus in northern German city of Lübeck Witnesses told the paper that the attack happened in the Kücknitz neighborhood on a public bus, en route to the North Sea beach area of Travemünde. The assailant let his backpack fall and then took out his weapon. The driver stopped the bus and was then struck by the suspect.

The passengers then reportedly restrained him. A second witness who lives on the street where the bus was driving said that the man was armed with a kitchen knife. The area around the bus was cordoned off throughout Friday afternoon. Authorities have not yet confirmed the suspectʼs motive, but police have said that "there is no evidence of political radicalization" and no reason to believe the attack had a "terrorist background." Police clarified that the suspect is a 34year-old German citizen who was born in Iran but had lived in Germany for a long time. As of Friday evening, he had not confessed to any wrongdoing. State prosecutors said they are working quickly to bring charges of attempted arson and grevious bodily harm.

A German regional court has formally ended its investigation into former Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont, after Spanish authorities waived their extradition request.

German church membership continues to drop Last year saw a total of 660,228 fewer members inGermanyʼs Protestant and Catholic churches, according to statistics released on Friday. The Protestant church in Germany (EKD) said that its membership dropped by 390,000 to 21.5 million in 2017, a decrease of 1.8 percent. The Catholic church noted a similar trend, withthe German Bishopsʼ Conference (DBK)reporting there were over 270,000 fewer members in 2017, putting its membership at 23.3 million.

Novichok victim released from UK hospital Novichokvictim Charlie Rowleywas released from a UK hospital on Friday after three weeks of treatment.

Officials believe that the nerve agent that sickened Rowley, 45, and killed his partner was the same that was used against ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in March. "Charlie has been through an

appalling experience most of us could never imagine," said Lorna Wilkinson, head of nursing at Salisbury District Hospital. "Today is a very welcome milestone in his recovery." Rowley and his partner Dawn Sturgess became ill on June 30 after handling a small bottle of Novichok near Rowleyʼs home in Amesbury, reportedly disguised as a perfume bottle. Sturgess, 44, died in the hospital on July 8. She is believed to have been exposed to 10 times as much Novichok as the Skripals. Amesbury is just 7.7 miles (12.3 km) from Salisbury, where the Skripals were found collapsed on a bench on March 4. The father and daughter have since been moved to a safe location for their protection.

Donald Trump willing to slap tariffs on all Chinese imports US President Donald Trump has hit out again at US trading partners, indicating he is ready to impose tariffs on every product imported from China into America. Trump also ramped up attacks on the EU and Federal Reserve.

US President Donald Trump on Friday said he was ready to slap punitive tariffs on all Chinese imports.

In an interview with US broadcaster CNBC, Trump also accused the European Union of currency manipulation and criticized the USFederal Reservefor it decision to continue raising interest rates. On Chinese tariffs, Trump said he was "ready to go to 500," referring to the roughly

Martin Kaymerʼs struggles are just the tip of the iceberg for German golf Despite being a two-time major winner, a former world number one and the man to sink the putt to retain a historic comeback in the 2012 Ryder Cup, Martin Kaymer has struggled to carry the flag for German golf in recent years. After finishing the first round of the 147th Open Championship with the same even-par score (71) as Tiger Woods, Kaymer endured more than he enjoyed on day two.

Teeing off at Carnoustie just as the rain and wind arrived, Kaymer delivered a solid front nine. As conditions improved though, Kaymer couldnʼt.

The Düsseldorf man traded pars with bogeys on his way back towards the clubhouse, before bogeying two of the last three holes, meaning he missed the cut and wouldnʼt continue at the weekend. Kaymer finished +4, finding just 40 percent of the fairways. Many struggle on the course nicknamed "The Beast," and Kaymerʼs failure to make the cut leaves German golf with only 60year-old Bernhard Langer in the field for the final two rounds.

$505 billion (€431 billion) in Chinese goods imported to the US last year.

"Iʼm not doing this for politics, Iʼm doing this to do the right thing for our country," the president said.

"We have been ripped off by China for a long time." The White House has already imposed additional levies of up to 25 percent on $34 billion in Chinese products.

Climate change already affecting German farmers

"What we are experiencing this summer is climate change in action," says Gerald Dohme, the deputy chair of the German Farmersʼ Association. He says that the lack of rain in Germany will mean a wheat harvest of just 41 million tons. This would be 4.5 tons less than last yearʼs already subaverage harvest of 45.5 million tons.

Over the past five years, the average harvest has yielded 47.9 tons of wheat. According to Dohme, German farmers are extremely concerned – including those who farm livestock. He said that grass and maize used to feed animals is already running low and some unripe wheat had to be cut down in certain parts of Germany.

Musical chameleon: Folk-pop legend Yusuf/Cat Stevens turns 70 Cat Stevens catapulted to fame as a folk-pop poet in the 1970s. His soft voice and tender songs mesmerized lateblooming flower children well into the 1980s. Songs such as "Peace Train" are a trademark of the peace movement, while "My Lady DʼArbanville" and "Father And Son" are campfire classics. His songs on the soundtrack of cult film Harold and Maude also remain unforgettable.

European Commission refers Germany to court over energy laws The European Commission is referring Germany to the EUʼs highest court over what it says is the countryʼs failure to have its energy regulator abide by EU law on energy provision in Europe. "Germany has not ensured full respect of rules concerning the powers and independence of the national regulatory authority,"the Commission announced on Thursday, referring to Germanyʼs Federal Network Agency (BNetzA). "In particular, the regulator does not enjoy full discretion in the setting of network tariffs and other terms and conditions for access to networks and balancing services." The EUʼs so-called Third Energy Package, in law since 2009, regulates the internal gas and electricity market within the EU. A key element of it concerns what is known as "ownership unbundling," which seeks to separate companiesʼ electricity generation and sales operations from their transmission networks.

India: Walmart, H&M in spotlight after string of textile workers deaths Global retail behemoths, including Walmart and H&M, are being accused of turning a blind eye to the plight of garment workers in Indiaʼs ʼtextile valleyʼ after a spate of deaths in factories and hostels blamed on grueling and abusive working conditions. Human rights groups say the global retailers are yet to fulfill their promises to improve working conditions that they made after theRana Plaza tragedy in neighboring Bangladeshthat killed more than 1,100 workers, exposing dangerous labor conditions.

Garment workers in India and other countries, where the retailing giants benefit from an inexpensive workforce, continue to be coerced into working long hours at a fraction of minimum wages and endure sexual and verbal abuse.

"The latter is also punishable by us and will be strictly prosecuted," Barley said.

German Cabinet approves 4-billioneuro plan to combat long-term unemployment

Long-termunemployed people in Germanycould soon benefit from government-subsidized jobs for up to five years, after the German Cabinet on Wednesday approved a corresponding draft bill presented by Labor Minister Hubertus Heil. Four billion euros ($4.65 billion) are to be set aside over the next few years for the project, entitled "social labor market."

It was initiated by the center-left Social Democrats (SPD), the junior coalition partner to Chancellor Angela Merkelʼs conservatives. The Labor Ministry calculates that each subsidized job will cost €24,000 ($27,895) annually. Employers are to receive subsidies at the level of Germanyʼs minimum wage (€1,498 per month) for two years, which are then to be reduced by 10 percent annually for the next three years. People who have been receiving state welfare payments — known as "Hartz IV" — for at least seven years and are over 25 years of age will be eligible under the plan.

The global heat wave thatʼs been killing us A heat wave is ravaging countries around the world

A heat wave is ravaging countries around the world. Although many celebrate sunny days, wildfires, wasted crops and health problems are some of the many disastrous consequences hot weather can have.

Most of us enjoy sunny days and complain on rainy ones — yet behind the clear skies lies a less pleasant reality. Since June 2018, numerous regions around the world have been facing infernal temperatures, which have caused wildfires, ruined crops and killed hundreds of people.

The hottest year ever recorded was 2016, due to a combination of global warming and a strong El Niño episode. Despite 2018 experi-

encing the opposite climate event, La Niña — which tends to cool temperatures — June has ranked as one of the hottest months on record. A heat wave describes a period of at least five days with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) above the average. Extremely hot individual days can be a one-off, which doesnʼt always have a link to heat waves or global warming.

The Salzburg Festival kicks off, celebrating both tradition and innovation On Friday, many of the worldʼs finest artists from the classical music and theater world will once again gather in Salzburg for six weeks of music-making and performances. Since 1920, Mozartʼs birthplace has been home to the Salzburg Festival, which continues to feature the stars of the theater and classical music world. Big names in classical music at this yearʼs festival include Italian conductor Riccardo Muti and opera

diva Cecilia Bartoli, among others.

The play Everyman (Jedermann) by Hugo von Hofmannsthal kicks off the annual cultural event. The main cathedral square remains the venue for the Hofmannsthalʼs play about morality, which is performed each year as an integral part of the festival. Itʼs a seminal work in German theater, and landing a role in the annual production, however small it may be, is considered a great honor among German-speaking actors.

Latest Ryan Gosling film to open Venice Film festival A small step for Gosling, a great step for moviegoers? The Hollywood heartthrob plays astronaut Neil Armstrong in his new film, First Man, which will opens the 75th Venice Film Festival in late August.

Oscar-nominated actor Ryan Gosling is set to fly to the moon. But will it finally win him an Academy Award? In the drama First Man, the 37-year-old plays Neil Armstrong, the astronaut who was the first person to set foot on the moon. The film was directed

by Damien Chazelle, with whom Gosling already worked in La La Land, and has the coveted opening slot at this yearʼs Venice Film Festival, festival director Alberto Barbera announced yesterday. He described the film as "a very personal, original and captivating work." Claire Foy (The Crown) plays Armstrongʼs wife Janet, while Corey Stoll (House of Cards) performs the role of fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

Germany sees sharp rise in ʼfake scienceʼ journal publications

Over 5,000 scientists at German universities and other higher education institutes have published the results of their research in journals run by quasi-scientific publishers, according to a media report on Thursday. When researchers publish their results in a scientific journal, the expectation is that their research questions, methods and data have undergone a rigorous review by other scientists in the field in a process known as peer review. The process acts as a form of quality control, ensuring that studies are scientifically sound before being released to the public.

Aleksandar Kolarovʼs free kick stunner secures Serbia win over Costa Rica A brilliant second half free kick from captain Aleksandar Kolarov led Serbia to a deserved win over Costa Rica. Serbia were wasteful in front of goal but did enough to secure three vital points in Group E. Another World Cup day, another sublime freekick. If Cristiano Ronaldo’s ice-cold effort tosnatch a point against arch-rivals Spain on day two was the current goal of the tournament front-runner, the Portuguese may have just met his match. Aleksandar Kolarov, take a bow. A combination of poor finishing and sublime goalkeeping had kept the scores level until Serbia’s no.11 produced his moment of magic. Kolarov’s powerful left foot is no secret, but few inside the stadium would have expected such a thunderous strike when the Roma defender stood over a free kick midway through the second half. His shot was unstoppable; a side-footed missile which screamed into the top corner of the Costa Rica net. Kaylor Navas, who kept his team in the game with several crucial saves either side of half time, was nowhere near it.

Bayern Munich CEO KarlHeinz Rummenigge tees off on the ʼamateursʼ at the DFB Meanwhile, Joachim Löw presented the German FA with his analysis of what went wrong

Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has sharply criticized the DFB over Germanyʼs early exit from the World Cup. Meanwhile, Joachim Löw presented the German FA with his analysis of what went wrong.

Germany head coach Joachim Löw told reporters outside of the German football association (DFB) headquarters in Frankfurt on Friday that he had presented the executive board with a "detailed analysis" of why the national team failed to advance past the group stage in Russia. However, following two days of talks with senior officials including Oliver Bierhoff, the general manager of the national team, Löw declined to provide any details of their talks or his analysis. He said his next move would be to speak to

each of the national team players individually, before making anypossible decisions on personnel changes.

At just about the same time as Löw was speaking to reporters in Frankfurt, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge (pictured above, right) held a scrum of his own in Munich. Speaking at an event to honor former coach Jupp Heynckes (above, left), the Bayern Munich chairman took the opportunity to lambaste almost everything about the DFB – except its decision to stick with Löw as Germany coach.

Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel still side-by-side nearing F1ʼs mid-point The 2018 season is shaping up to be Sebastian Vettelʼs best chance yet to win a title in a scarlet Ferrari. That said, Mercedes are hot on his heels despite having had the lionʼs share of misfortune this season so far.

For all the usual melodrama and moaning in the paddock, thereʼs a genuine sense of excitement around F1ʼs driversʼ championship title race this season, after several years with Mercedes looking untouchable at the top. Two, sometimes even three

teams are in with a genuine shot at race wins each weekend. The championship is threatening to be the closest since the head-to-heads between Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton in 2015 and 2016 — but this time without the diluted thrill of two teammates handling each other with care as they duke it out. This sense of competition was perhaps most evident as Sebastian Vettel celebrated his victory at the last race, the British Grand Prix.
