Aircraft Transportation Industries - Voom: Airbus launches Voom helicopter service to compete with Uber, Blade

Voom, a consumer-facing helicopter charger service that's been active in Latin America for three years, launched this week in the San Francisco Bay Area, shuttling wealthy travelers between the region's airports, Silicon Valley, and Napa's wine country.

"We want to offer a better alternative to ground transportation to people living in an urban environment," Clément Monnet, the company's chief executive, told Business Insider in an interview.

Like Uber and its older competitor Blade, business travelers and their corporate credit cards are the first target for Voom as it launches in the US.

Prices start at $245 for a flight from Oakland to San Jose and climb as high as $425 from San Francisco International Airport to Napa.

Austria: Kurz wins in Austria with best result since 2002 - by Elena Sánchez Nicolás

The leader of the conservative Austria's People's Party (ÖVP) Sebastian Kurz won Sunday's snap parliamentary election with 38.4 percent of the votes - ÖVP's best result since 2002 - after Kurz lost a confidence vote in May.

Austria has been led by a caretaker government, headed by the constitutional lawyer Brigitte Bierlein since Kurz's coalition with the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) collapsed due to the 'Ibiza video's scandal'.

That video showed the leader of far-right Freedom Party, Heinz-Christian Strache, promising government contracts to a fake Russian oligarch.

EU-US Relations: Huge trade tariffs on Europe could come soon if US wins WTO fight - by David Reid

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has found that both European planemaker Airbus (AIR.PA) and its U.S. rival Boeing (BA.N) received billions of dollars of illegal subsidies in a pair of cases that have run for 15 years.

Both sides have threatened tariffs after the Geneva body found neither adhered fully to its findings. However, the United States has a head start, with the European Union having to wait until early in 2020 to hear what level of retaliation it can exact over Boeing.

The WTO is expected this week to reveal the amount of EU goods the United States can target. People familiar with the case say the three-person tribunal is expected to award it around $7.5 billion, a record for the 24-year-old watchdog.

Such retaliation rights are rarely granted by the WTO - most parties reach settlements - and in many cases complainants do not exercise their rights.

The United States though has indicated it will target EU goods to the fullest extent.

It has already published a $25 billion list from which it will pick items to target from aircraft and aerospace parts to wine, cheese and luxury goods.
The WTO award in the world’s largest corporate trade dispute could fuel already strained trade tensions, diplomats say.

USA in impeachment mode: Trump attacks impeachment accusers in tweets that mentioned civil war - by David Jackson

President Donald Trump opened another week of impeachment turmoil with slashing attacks on his accusers – including a suggestion that a leading investigator be arrested for "treason."

Claiming that Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, falsely described his phone call with the president of Ukraine, Trump tweeted Monday:  "Arrest for Treason?"

Schiff did not immediately respond, but others called it an outrageous comment.

"Out. Of. Control," tweeted Republican strategist Mike Murphy. "Treason? A POTUS saying this? #UnfitAndUnstable."

The Netherlands: Teachers to strike over educator shortages and increased Government budget for education - school closures expected - by Janene Pieters

Teachers in primary- and secondary education announced another national strike. If the government does not respond to their demand to allocate 423.5 million euros extra to education, they will strike on Wednesday, November 6th, NOS reports.

According to the education unions, the government has made it clear that it does not want to invest in education. And that while classes are sent home every day because there are not enough teachers. On Thursday, an Amsterdam primary school announced that it has to close due to the teacher shortage.

"The children suffer if they do not get the attention they deserve", Liesbeth Verheggen of education union AOb said to the broadcaster. Jan de Vries of CNV added: "The level of students' knowledge is under pressure. This affects our entire society."

The trade unions and employers submitted the joint demand of 423.5 million euros to the government in July. According to the education sector, this amount will be needed next year to increase salary, reduce workload, and deal with the teacher shortage.

During the budget debate last week, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said that he is prepared to set aside an extra once-off amount to combat the teacher shortage in primary schools. But he did not mention any amounts, and he attached the condition that employers and employees in primary education must first conclude a collective bargaining agreement.

The unions gave the government an ultimatum to meet their demands by October 20th. If their demands are not met, primary- and secondary school teachers will strike on November 6th.

Teachers in the Netherlands also held a nationwide strike in March, also for higher salaries and lower workloads. Lecturers in higher education also participated in that strike.

Note EU-Digest: School teachers in the Netherlands might strike again, Wednesday, November 6th, if their demands are not met for an increase in the Governement budget for education.  The obvious question is; when will governments, who make their citizens pay for education and healthcare understand, that "free education and healthcare are a right, not a privilege", and that they must include these funds, to cover those essential services in their annual budgets?

World Day for Migrants and Refugees: 'We cannot remain insensitive': Pope decries world's indifference to migrants, refugees

Pope Francis on Sunday decried "the culture of comfort" that leads to indifference in the face of a global migration and refugee crisis.

The Pope, who has made caring for migrants a major objective of his papacy, spoke during a mass at the Vatican in Rome for the World Day for Migrants and Refugees.

"We cannot be indifferent to the tragedy of old and new forms of poverty, to the bleak isolation, contempt and discrimination experienced by those who do not belong to 'our group,"' Francis said.

"We cannot remain insensitive,our hearts deadened, before the misery of so many innocent people. We must not fail to weep. We must not fail to respond.

The pontiff has often spoken of the need to be welcoming to migrants, travelling to the Italian island of Lampedusa in 2013 on his first trip as Pope to comfort refugees.

His message found political resistance in Italy's previous populist government, during which the former hard-line interior minister, Matteo Salvini, campaigned to prevent the arrival in Italy of migrants rescued at sea by humanitarian groups.

The Pope also noted the weapons that fuel wars are often produced and sold in other regions, "which are then unwilling to take in the refugees generated buy these conflicts."

Russian War Games: Russia Completes Massive Tsentr 2019 War Games With Enhanced Chinese Participation - by Pavel Felgenhauer

Russia’s Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu gave a rare lengthy interview to the popular paper Moskovsky Komsomolets—the first in seven years, since being appointed to head the Ministry of Defense in November 2012.

Speaking with the news outlet, Shoigu lauded his unparalleled achievements in restoring Russia’s military might after decades of decay and neglect. According to Shoigu, Western animosity toward Russia did not materialize “five years ago [in response to Russia’s takeover of Crimea],” but began much earlier. The West made a serious strategic mistake, Shoigu implied, by exposing its true intentions too early: “If they continued to play nice as with [former Soviet leader Mikhail] Gorbachev, if they would not have moved NATO [the North Atlantic Treaty Organization] westward, [would have] refrained from encroaching on Russia’s ‘near abroad’ and interfering in our internal affairs […] then in the end they would have achieved their designated goal to destroy and enslave Russia the same way as with the former Soviet republics and Central European nations.” But under President Vladimir Putin, Russia awoke and began pushing back, rebuilding its military with great sacrifice to resist Western domination and managing to build a multipolar world, Shoigu claimed (Moskovsky Komsomolets, September 22).

Russia is being accused of running “hybrid wars,” but, Shoigu insisted, it is the West that is the true perpetrator, devising strategies to overthrow legal state authorities under the pretext of “promoting democracy” and leaving behind a trail of chaos and destruction in Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Libya and Venezuela. Military chiefs from Russia and the United States successfully talk to each other to prevent dangerous incidents in Syria; and the Russian military has similar contacts with Israel and Turkey. It would be good for Washington and Moscow to have direct contacts at the defense minister level, Shoigu suggested, but this is hampered by the constant change and dismissal of US Secretaries Defense in the Donald Trump administration. Russia must be strong militarily; and even though its defense spending is much smaller than that of the US, it is much more effective, Shoigu asserted. At the same time, he denounced Putin’s liberal economic advisors for constantly advocating defense spending cuts. The budget for 2020 and a three-year budget plan until 2022 are being hammered out today in the government and the Kremlin. Shoigu’s decision to go public with a big interview in Moskovsky Komsomolets is almost certainly a salvo in this budget allocation fight (Moskovsky Komsomolets, September 22).

In the perpetual confrontation with the West, Russia needs allies. On September 16, the massive Tsentr 2019 strategic war games commenced, including contingents from China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan and India.

The exercise, which concluded on September 21, involved some 128,000 military personnel, 20,000 pieces of heavy equipment, 600 aircraft and 15 warships—mostly Russian. The main task before the participating troops was to prepare to defend former Soviet Central Asia against an Islamist insurrection. Similar exercises including Russian, Chinese and local Eurasian contingents were held previously within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), but they were much smaller in scope and more clearly anti-terrorist in nature. Tsentr 2019, meanwhile, effectively simulated a peer-to-peer confrontation with a fictitious enemy state ‘located in the southwest” that supported an insurgency in Central Asia, eventually leading to an overall armed conflict or regional war (see EDM, September 25).

The Chinse People’s Liberation Army (PLA) contingent in Tsentr 2019 featured more than 20 warplanes, including heavy H-6k nuclear-capable bombers, which dropped live ordinance together with Russian jets. Some 70 Russian large military transport Il-76s dropped around 2,000 paratroopers with heavy equipment in the first such Russian mass parachute operation since the 1980s (Militarynews.ru, September 20). Two armored airborne battle vehicles crashed during the drop because of parachute failures, but no casualties were reported (Militarynews.ru, September 22).

Shoigu and his Chinese counterpart, General Wei Fenghe, declared Tsentr 2019 a resounding success, demonstrating high levels of Sino-Russian “shoulder to shoulder” cooperation and exchanged military experience (Militarynews.ru, September 20). Li Zhanshu, a member of China’s Politburo Standing Committee (the country’s top decision-making body) and head of the national legislature, subsequently met with Putin in Moscow and declared, “The US is double deterring China and Russia and attempting to separate us, but we understand their game and will not succumb. We will support each other’s national interests and security” (Interfax, September 25).

ESA: European space mission aims to fill missing piece of climate jigsaw - by Rafael Cereceda

The European Space Agency has commissioned a new satellite mission in a bid to find a crucial missing piece of the climate jigsaw.

It will allow scientists to measure and understand the influence of the Earth's far-infrared emissions on its climate system.

The mission, called FORUM (Far-infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring), was chosen over another project that aimed to use a satellite to measure ocean current and waves, following consultation with the scientific community.

Wolfram Mauser, who chaired ESA’s advisory committee for earth observation, said, “Both mission concepts are outstanding in the value they would bring to science and are technologically ready to be built, so it was difficult to recommend which one should be implemented.

“Nevertheless, FORUM promises to improve climate models and, therefore, climate prediction. So with the issue of climate change a major global concern, we finally decided to recommend this concept – and we are very happy that ESA has taken our recommendation.”

Mark Drinkwater, head of the European agency's earth exploration missions, explained to Euronews that FORUM has been chosen "for its unique contribution to Earth system science, with a focus on the processes that regulate the Earth's radiation budget and are therefore of critical importance to the climate".

Russia: Fresh protest draws Russians out against Kremlin ′repression′

Thousands of Russians on Sunday chanted "Let them go" during a protest in central Moscow demanding the release of opposition activists jailed recently for dissent.

Demonstrators demanded a halt to "repression" against anti-government politicians and activists after some received sentences of up to four years. Many attendees held up photos of those being incarcerated.

Those detained were sentenced for taking part in illegal protests during the Northern Hemisphere summer, others are being prosecuted for crimes such as violence against police officers, which protesters say are trumped up.

Authorities said some 20,000 people took part in Sunday's rally, which was authorized by the mayor's office. There were no arrests.

"No one can get a fair hearing in Russian courts — injustice and lawlessness can happen to anyone now," opposition politician Lyubov Sobol told protesters over a sound system from a raised stage.

Capitalism: The Bilderberg Group safeguarding the future of Capitalism ?

The 67th Meeting of the secretive Bilderberg group was held from 30 May to 2 June 2019, with some 130 guests from all over the world. 23 countries that stayed in one of the most sumptuous places in Switzerland, the Montreux Palace Hotel.

Among the participants this year were the Dutch King Willem Alexander, Dutch PM Mark Rutte, Jared Kushner and Mike Pompeo from the USA.

The Bilderberg meetings began at the start of the Cold War as a discussion club of American and European leaders against communism or, more specifically, against the Soviet Union.

Bilderberg Hotel, Oosterbeek
The first event took place in 1954 at the Bilderberg Hotel (which remained as the name of the group), in the Dutch city of Oosterbeek. Since then its meetings have been in various places in the western world.

Founded in 1954, the Bilderberg Meeting was designed to foster warmer relations between the United States and Europe. The annual talk fest is considered secretive because guests are not allowed to reveal who said what at the meeting.

One of the permanent agenda items propagated by the Bilderbergers is the reduction of the world’s population, so that the few at the top can live better and longer with the world’s rapidly diminishing resources.

Switzerland has been one of the Group’s preferred host countries after the United States. Switzerland had hosted it five times before this occasion (1960, 1970, 1981, 1995 and 2011).

Bilderbergers conferences are secret events, run by those who pull the strings behind world leaders – politicians, CEOs, big financiers and other business executives, artists and personalities from the Western world.

They are almost always American and Euro-Western. This time there were a dozen from Turkey, Poland, Bulgaria and Estonia.

The most they get to the East is Turkey, perhaps in the hope of attracting it back to NATO from where it is slowly trying to move away from.

Yes indeed, call the "Bilderbergers" whatever you want to, but don't be mistaken, they  are not just any rich and influential people, they are the richest and most powerful people on the planet.

Among the members of this club are George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz (former World Bank president and the godfather of the Iraq War), Henry Kissinger (who got the Nobel Peace Prize soon after he authorised chemical warfare against Vietnam), Tony Blair (best known for lying about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction), European royalty, CIA directors past and present, directors of the British secret service MI6, and other such figureheads.

This report was compiled  by EU-Digest from several published articles about the Bilderberg group .

Open Society Foundations: George Soros’s Message to the Central European University Community

George Sorros
"Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbán has forced Central European University (CEU) to move its U.S. degree courses to Vienna by making it impossible for CEU to issue American degrees in Budapest.

CEU is nevertheless determined to maintain both academic and public activities on its campus in Budapest and it has the full support of the Open Society Foundations and me personally in this endeavor.

I therefore reiterate the commitment—made in June—that CEU has an assured future: the Open Society Foundations intend to increase CEU’s endowments.

I should like to thank the perseverance and loyalty of the CEU community under the inspired leadership of its president and rector Michael Ignatieff in very difficult circumstances. I am also grateful for the steadfast support CEU received both from the Hungarian public and the global academic community. With their support, CEU has emerged as the beacon and symbol of academic freedom worldwide."

Britain: Johnson attacks court and MPs as he pushes for election - by Eszter Zalan

A belligerent British prime minister Boris Johnson went on the attack on Wednesday night (26 September) in a heated debate in the House of Commons.

Johnson criticised the Supreme Court's decision that on Tuesday found him breaking the law by suspending parliament in the run-up to the UK's exit from the EU on 31 October.

Johnson, after returning early from the UN general assembly's meeting in New York, refused to resign or apologise following the court decision and challenged the opposition to trigger an election through a no-confidence vote.

"The court was wrong to pronounce on what was essentially a political question at a time of great national controversy," he said.

The unrepentant premier attacked the opposition and accused them of cowardice for rejecting twice his earlier efforts to push for an election.

EU-Ukraine relations: Ukrainian president also burns bridges in Europe

Ukraine's new president gleefully joined US leader Donald Trump in denigrating the EU back in July, a White House transcript of their phonecall has shown.

"Germany does almost nothing for you. All they do is talk," Trump told Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskiy on 25 July.

"[German chancellor] Angela Merkel ... talks Ukraine, but she doesn't do anything. A lot of European countries are the same way," he added.
"Yes. You are absolutely right. Not only 100 percent, but actually 1,000 percent," Zelenskiy replied.

"I did talk to Angela Merkel ... I also met and talked with [French president] Emmanuel Macron and I told them they are not doing quite as much as they need to be on the issues with the sanctions [on Russia]. They are not enforcing the sanctions," he said.

"The European Union should be our biggest partner, but technically the United States is a much bigger partner," he added.

European Gas Supplies: Russia, Ukraine OK with EU law for gas transit

On 19 September in Brussels, Russia, Ukraine and the European Commission held trilateral gas talks at a political level on the long-term transit of Russian gas via Ukraine to Europe as of next year with both sides agreeing in principle that a future contract should be based on EU law, European Commission Vice President for Energy Union Maroš Šefčovič said, adding that Ukraine is gradually implementing EU energy rules. He also noted that Russian gas monopoly Gazprom is well acquainted with them in its commercial relations.

The Commission wants to secure reliable and uninterruptible Russian gas transit through Ukraine into EU countries. The current gas transit contract between Ukraine’s Naftogaz and Gazprom is valid until the end of December 2019. In 2018, 40% of gas supplied by Russia to the EU was delivered within this contract.

Canada and nearly two dozen mainly European countries voiced concern on Monday at the UN over alleged torture, unlawful detentions and unfair trials of critics, including women activists and journalists, in Saudi Arabia.

It was the second joint statement criticizing the kingdom read out at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva in six months, following the first censure of Saudi Arabia at the forum in March.

EU commission: Nine EU 'commissioners' asked to clarify declarations

Nine EU commissioner candidates have been taken to task for incomplete financial declarations by the European Parliament's (EP) legal affairs committee.

The revelation, made by French left-wing MEP Manon Aubry, on Twitter on Thursday (19 September) did not name names.

But eight of them were listed by Polish news website Onet.pl, citing an EP source.

The Onet.pl list included: Josep Borrell (Spanish candidate for EU the foreign affairs chief portfolio); Elisa Ferreira (Portuguese candidate for cohesion and reforms); Johannes Hahn (Austria's candidate for budget); Stellia Kyriakidu (Cyprus' candidate for health); Rovana Plumb (Romania's candidate for transport); Didier Reynders (Belgium's candidate for justice); Kadri Simson (Estonian candidate for energy); and Janusz Wojciechowski (Polish candidate for agriculture).

The candidates were asked to submit additional information on their declarations by 27 September, so that the legal affairs committee can give the green light for their public hearings by the parliament, starting 30 September.

IRAN: The Real Reason Trump Won’t Attack Iran – Emily Meierding

A war in the Persian Gulf would profoundly destabilize the global oil system. If the Trump administration strikes Iran, unilaterally or in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, and targets the state’s oil facilities, these attacks will take more resources offline. Although Iran’s oil output has declined significantly since the United States reimposed sanctions in 2018, the country still produces more than 2 million barrels of oil per day and exports about half a million barrels per day of petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gas to a variety of resource consumers.  Airstrikes would remove these supplies for the market, while other oil producers are struggling to compensate for the loss of Saudi resources.

Unsurprisingly, Chinese and European officials have adopted a cautious attitude toward the crisis. Although China’s foreign ministry condemned the attack, spokesperson Hua Chunying advised the parties “to avoid taking actions that bring about an escalation in regional tensions.” She also refrained from attributing responsibility for the strikes to a specific actor. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushed for an international response to the attacks. However, they also emphasized the “importance of avoiding the further escalation of tensions in the region.” Given this reticence, if the United States wants to strike Iran, it will have to go it alone.

Starting a war to protect oil markets will only backfire for the US.

EU-Brexit chaos is lesson to other EU states, ECB governor says

British chaos over Brexit has dampened other member states' potential appetite for leaving Europe, Villeroy de Galhau, a French governor of the European Central Bank (ECB), said Tuesday. "It is a gratitude we have to the British today," he said at an event in the London School of Economics, Reuters reported, in comments which risked giving ammunition to British claims the EU was trying to punish the UK for leaving.

USA - National Security Trump selects Robert O'Brien to be his next national security adviser

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he plans to name hostage negotiator Robert O'Brien to be his new national security adviser.

Trump's announcement about O'Brien comes a week after the departure of John Bolton from the national security adviser's post, citing policy disagreements. Trump and Bolton offered differing views on whether the longtime Republican policy adviser resigned or was fired.


As the special presidential envoy for hostage affairs at the State Department, O'Brien worked closely with the families of American hostages and advised administration officials on hostage issues.

He previously helped lead the department's public-private partnership for justice reform in Afghanistan during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations.

From 2008 through 2011, O'Brien was a presidentially appointed member of a government committee that advises on issues related to the trafficking of antiquities and other cultural items. In 2005, Bush nominated O'Brien to be U.S. Representative to the United Nations General Assembly, where he worked with Bolton. O'Brien was confirmed by the Senate.

Israel Elections: Netanyahu Is in Trouble, and Other Takeaways From the Israeli Election - by Megan Specia


A day after Israel’s general election — the second in five months — there is still uncertainty about the final outcome, but it appears the long reign of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu could be coming to an end.

As expected, neither Mr. Netanyahu nor his main rival, the former army chief Benny Gantz, a centrist, won enough votes to claim an outright majority in the Israeli Parliament. Crucially, neither seems to have a straightforward path to forming a governing coalition with at least 61 of the 120 lawmakers in Parliament.

That means the contest for prime minister will be decided not by the vote tally but by coalition talks, and Mr. Gantz and his Blue and White party seem likely to be given the first chance to form a government. The support of a smaller third party, Yisrael Beiteinu, could prove essential, putting the power to decide the future Israeli government into the hands of that party’s leader, Avigdor Liberman.

The Netherlands: the Dutch Healthcare system is among the most costly in Europe - by RM

Dutch citizens did not get a good deal under the current Dutch health insurance law.

It has become an extremely expensive business to get health Insurance in the Netherlands.

Especially if you add up all nthe costs.

First of all there is the obligatory deductible of Euro 385, then the monthly premium, which  on average is around Euro 250 per month.

That makes a total "out of pocket expense" of Euro 3,385 per year, and even than you are not there yet.

There are also a variety of other provisions, whereby certain costs incurred for pharmaceuticals, and medical services, are not reimbursed.

Not only is Dutch healthcare  too costly for the average citizen, it also is a cash machine for Dutch Insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry.

Healthcare Insurance services and costs should also be uniformly regulated throughout the EU, which is not the case right now.

It is high time that the "political establishment" and the voters start paying more attention to the fact that this issue needs to get fixed without delay.
