Like a "
hope on the climate front
" on the front page of the international press, with the coming to power of Anthony Albanese, who therefore defeated Scott Morrison in the legislative elections last weekend, putting an end to "
9 years of conservative, climate-skeptical and pro-coal power
,” explains the
Guardian
.
"
This is a scathing rejection by voters of Scott Morrison's inaction in the fight against climate change
", - comments Le
Temps
, "
Australia's climate election has finally arrived
", also rejoices the
New York Times
, who nevertheless wonders "
if it will be sufficient
".
No one "
could in any case call into question the determination of Albanese
", argues for his part
The Australian
"
as he reaches the post of Prime Minister - after growing up in a low-rent housing with a single mother, that says a lot about his abilities
," said the Australian daily.
For
The Age
"
the new Prime Minister must now reconcile expectations and reality
", the Melbourne daily which wonders in particular whether "
his promise to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030 will be sufficient for his environmental partners" which "he might need to form a government
".
“
Many environmentalists believe that Albanese does not go far enough
“, also underlines the
Times
which also reports “
that until now he has refused to ban coal in power stations – and to close coal mines
”.
The big Chinese neighbor is in any case delighted with the departure of Morrison after years
of "belligerent opposition
", underlines the
Global Times
"
Canberra and Beijing could renew, while the election results clearly show that the climate is the main concern of the Australians, long before "an alleged Chinese threat", totally "unjustified
", comments the Chinese nationalist daily.
Murderous escalation in Ukraine, the Russians intensify the shelling of Donbass
A real "
deluge of fire on the east of the country
", reports
Die Welt
where the Russians have thrown all their forces "
in particular against the city of Severodonetsk, which they obviously wish to annihilate, reduce to ashes as they did to Mariupol
”, denounces the German daily.
President Zelensky himself fears "
a bloody war
" in the Donbass with the "
daily loss of 50 to 100 soldiers a day in the fighting against the Russians
", reports the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
, which underlines "
that even if the Ukrainian president considers that the war will end definitively only through diplomacy
“, he refuses for the time being”
any ceasefire implying the abandonment of territories to Russia
“.
"
Any concession made to Moscow would not be a path to peace, but a war postponed for a few years
", argues one of the Ukrainian negotiators, underlines the
Guardian
.
"
The peace negotiations have been deadlocked for a month
," notes the British daily, "
a freeze in the talks that the Russians blame on the Ukrainians
."
An airlift between Europe and the United States, to alleviate the shortage of infant milk
The first flight took place yesterday "
from the American air base at Ramstein in Germany to Indiana
", reports
Die Welt
with on board "
32 tons of baby milk powder, enough to fill more than half a -million baby bottles
.
This is enough to relieve thousands of American households faced
with “a major infant milk crisis in the country, and who are calling for help, El Pais tells us
”.
“
A shortage in the land of abundance
”, underlines the Spanish daily which has been going on for months.
partly because of supply problems linked to Covid, but above all because of the closure last February of a factory of the manufacturer Abbot after the death of 2 infants
.
Called into question "
this virtual monopoly of Abott
", underlines the need "
to introduce more competition in this sector
", argues for its part the
Washington Post
which specifies that in the meantime, flights will continue between the Europe and the United States.
Spread of monkeypox worries governments
“
Everyone should be worried
,” headlines the
Washington Post
in the words of President Biden who warned “
that if this epidemic were to spread, there would be consequences
”.
Even if most daily newspapers, like the Guardian
, argue
"
that this is not a new Covid
", and that this viral disease "
is in most cases mild
", the United States is already planning already “
tracks of action at the national and international level
”, underlines the
New York Times
, while scientists are still wondering about “
the unprecedented global spread of this virus
”.
"
There is no question of panicking
”, explains
Die Welt
, which nevertheless underlines the need to “
stock up on smallpox vaccines
”.
