Airbus to scrap the A380 superjumbo production in 2021

By 935 0

Airbus of Europe has announced on Thursday that they plan to scrap the production of A380 superjumbo, with the last of the jets to be delivered in 2021. This world’s largest airliner, with two decks of spacious cabins and room for 544 people in standard layout, was designed to challenge Boeing’s legendary 747 but failed to take hold as airlines backed a new generation of smaller, more agile jets.

This giant aircraft, having large factories in Bristol and North Wales, is giving up its dream of dominating the skies with the massive cruiseliner after years of lackluster sales.

In a statement, Airbus said that the last A380 would be delivered in 2021. The high-priced aircraft was struggling to compete with more efficient, smaller models. The European company said it would enter talks with unions in coming weeks over the 3,000-3,500 jobs potentially affected. The airbus plans to produce 17 more of the planes including 14 for Emirates and 3 for Japanese airline ANA.

“As a result of this decision we have no substantial A380 backlog and hence no basis to sustain production, despite all our sales efforts with other airlines in recent years. This leads to the end of A380 deliveries in 2021,” said Airbus chief executive Tom Enders.

Spain’s government loses budget vote, leading to snap election

By 800 0

As the government of Spain loses the budget vote, the risk of snap election arises. The parliament rejected the government’s 2019 draft budget, and this brings the country to the snap national election. 191 lawmakers voted against the budget, and 158 votes came in favour.

The socialists hold less than a quarter of the seats in the parliament, and need its support from smaller regional parties including the Catalan parties, to get the budget proposal voted through. But the Catalan parties are unhappy with the government’s refusal to consider or discuss an independence referendum for their north-eastern region. The Catalan secessionists had rejected the national budget.

“We have supported the government of Pedro Sanchez for eight months with nothing in exchange. We gave them all the support in the censure motion in exchange for nothing.” said Joan Tarda, the Pro Catalan independence MP. Spanish prime minister’s office says that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez plans to announce whether he will call early election after his government lost their key budget vote.

Australia to reopen Christmas Island detention centre

By 1319 0

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that the country is reopening the controversial migrant detention camp at Christmas Island, for asylum seekers. He announced the decision after Australia’s parliament passed legislation giving sick asylum seekers easier access to mainland hospitals.

“We have approved putting in place the reopening of the Christmas Island detention facilities, both to deal with the prospect of arrivals as well as dealing with the prospect of transfers,” said Morrison.

The PM’s announcement came after the independents and the opposition Labor party voted on Tuesday to amend hardline immigration laws to give doctors the right to transfer some 1,000 men and woman from two Pacific detention centres if they need medical treatment.

The Christmas Island detention centre was closed late last year, but it was kept in a good condition in order to open at short notice.

Mass invasion of polar bears in Russian islands

By 1211 0

The mass invasion of starving polar bears is terrorising the Russia islands. As the sea ice diminishes, the polar bears, affected by climate change are entering on to land seeking food. Local officials said that emergency is declared in this remote Russian region. Parents are scared to send the children to school in this area fearing the polar bears.

Authorities in the Novaya Zemlya islands, home to a few thousand people, said that there were groups of bears attacking people. The bears are also found entering the residential and public buildings.

Polar bear, entering house

Russia classes the Polar bears as endangered species. Hurting these animals are hence illegal, and has been banned. The federal environment agency has refused to issue licences to shoot them. The polar bears are fearless about the police patrols and warning signals. Officials said that stronger measures would be needed in this issue.

Australian government loses bill blocking ill asylum seekers

By 831 0

The Australian government lost major votes on a bill for evacuating sick refugees held in offshore facilities, to be transferred to Australia for medical treatment. For over a decade, this is the first time a government has lost vote on its own legislation in the lower house.

The move is a push forward for PM Scott Morrison’s minority government’s immigration policy, which is highly controversial. Australia has sent asylum seekers arriving by boat to detention centres on Nauru and Papua New Guinea, since 2013. Doctors have been warned regarding the insufficiency of medical facilities on the islands, while the UN has previously described the camp conditions as “inhumane”.

“There is no form of this bill that does not weaken our border protection.” said Mr Morrison. He also added that it could help criminals and terrorists enter the country.

Trial of Catalan separatist leaders in Madrid

By 759 0

Twelve Catalan separatist leaders have appeared at the supreme court in Madrid facing charges including rebellion and sedition. If convicted, some of them would be going to prison for 25 years.

The semi-autonomous region of Catalonia held an independence referendum on 1 October 2017, and declared its independence from Spain weeks later. But the vote was declared illegal by Spanish authorities and the national government imposed direct rule.

Nine of the defendants have spent months in pre-trial detention, and arrived at the court on Tuesday morning under the guard. The remaining three had been free on bail. “It’s the most important trial we have had in democracy”, said the Supreme Court president Carlos Lesmes to the reporters.

The trial begins almost a year and a half after the failed independence bid – that remains controversial. Thousands gathered in a pro-unity demonstration against Catalan independence in Madrid on Sunday.
