Tavapäraselt ülikonnas kohut käiv Pärnu ärimees Ago Kalmer on seekordses kohtuasjas avaistungist alates kandnud pusa kirjaga «Kaitsetahe». Tahet end kaitsta Kalmeril kahtlemata jagus, kuid riigikohus mõistis ta ikkagi süüdi. Kuna Kalmer pani omastamise, kelmuse ja kehalise väärkohtlemise toime katseajal, tulebki tal nüüd trellide taha minna. Peagi algab tal aga uus kriminaalasi.

Among the victims in Kyiv was 12-year-old Lyubava Yakovleva, whose father was killed during the war.

Prosecutors in Nantes say the shooting was drug-related, but the victim's aunt says he was not involved.

Analysts say the moves have been fuelled by concerns a Burnham-led government would increase government borrowing.

The regulator say the energy supplier breached licence conditions aimed at protecting customers in vulnerable situations.

BEIJING — President Donald Trump on Friday said a 20-year moratorium on Iran’s nuclear program would be enough for him to strike a deal and end the war. The allowance for Iran to enrich uranium at any point in the future — even decades out — marks a shift for the president, who has repeatedly insisted that the country never be allowed to do so. Even as reports proliferated that the U.S. was negotiating some kind of timeline behind the scenes, the Trump administration denied that they’d accept anything less than a full surrender and a permanent end to Iran’s nuclear ambitions. But as Trump flew home from a two-day summit in China amid a war with seemingly no easy end in sight, the president, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, appeared to move the goalposts. “Twenty years is enough but the level of guarantee from them is not enough,” he said about Tehran’s latest offer. “In other words, it’s got to be a real 20 years.” The president said he looked at the latest proposal from Iran and threw it away, adding: “If they have any nuclear of any form, I don’t read the rest of it.” The 12-day war destroyed Iran’s ability to enrich new material for the foreseeable future, though it retains a stockpile of roughly 440 kilograms of highly enriched uranium that Washington is pressing it to surrender. Trump said he is optimistic Tehran would agree to a deal eventually and said the Iranians told him only the U.S. and China has the equipment to remove what he calls “nuclear dust.” Earlier this week, the president said Tehran’s latest peace proposal was “totally unacceptable” after it formally submitted its response to the latest U.S. proposal to end the war. It was one of multiple peace proposals the U.S. and Iran have submitted since Pakistan brokered a ceasefire between the two sides on April 8.

LONDON — Reform UK will not be able to block government-approved large-scale solar farms hated by local campaigners, the party has admitted.  Richard Tice, energy spokesperson for Nigel Farage’s populist poll-leaders, has tried to channel frustration among some voters at Labour’s plans to back vast solar developments, as ministers rush to hit climate goals by the end of the decade.  Super-sized solar farms are “so unfair” on local residents, Tice told parliament last May. “Those living in a village or small town in the countryside might all of a sudden find themselves surrounded not by glorious fields, but by black plastic. There is no justification for that, or fairness in it.” He regularly rails against “net-zero madness.” But now Tice has admitted to anti-solar groups he is powerless to block many of the projects on their way to development.   Reform “must be honest” about the scale of the challenge opposition groups face, he said in an exchange of letters with local campaigners last month, seen by POLITICO.  “I won’t mislead anyone: not every scheme currently in the pipeline can be stopped retrospectively under today’s rules,” he wrote to campaign groups.   “When we say we will stop or delay these developments, we are not pretending we can magic them all away overnight from opposition,” he added.  Tice was responding to an open letter organized by campaigners who had met with him and his colleague, Treasury Spokesperson Robert Jenrick, and had grown frustrated over Reform’s perceived failure to match their NIMBY rhetoric with action.  “There remains growing concern about a potential gap between public statements and deliverable policy, particularly in relation to claims that developments might be ‘stopped,’ ‘delayed,’ or ‘quashed,’” campaigners told Tice in the letter. Reform constituencies are a key battleground for large-scale solar development. Jenrick is the MP for Newark, where two massive solar farms — One Earth and Great North Road — are proposed. Both await a decision from Energy Secretary Ed Miliband.   For now, the party is “using every lever available” to block developments, including legal challenges, Tice said.   This includes Reform-run local authorities Lincolnshire County Council and North Kesteven District Council, which have committed up to £500,000 in public funds to finance a potential judicial review against another development, Springwell Solar Farm. That project was approved by Miliband in April.   Tice argued there are “excellent grounds” for a challenge, but the numbers are not on the party’s side.   There have been 230 appeals against solar schemes by English councils since 2011, according to data provided by lobby group Solar Energy UK. Most — 125 — found in favor of developers. And since 2024, out of 27 challenges, all but one have gone the way of developers.  David White, leader of the Say No to One Earth Solar Farm, who organized the letter sent to Tice, has asked Reform to spell out its approach to challenging new developments.  White said: “Reform’s position has raised hopes among communities most affected by large-scale solar developments. … The key question now is what is actually deliverable — communities need clear, realistic answers, not just broad commitments.”
