The European Parliament approved rules on Tuesday to give consumers the right to have worn-out products like washing machines and smartphones repaired by producers, to cut waste and make goods last longer. The European Union policy would oblige manufacturers to offer repairs for fridges, vacuum cleaners, televisions, washing machines and other goods that are deemed "repairable" under EU law and sold within the bloc. Consumers will gain the right to choose either a repair - or a replacement - for faulty products while the product is still under guarantee.

Vertical Farm Feeds Cincinnati Zoo's Giraffes And Manatees. Giraffes and manatees at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden are helping save the planet by consuming fresh vegetables grown on-site in an onsite ‘vertical farm’. The Zoo’s new container farming system will produce hundreds of pounds of produce each week that will be fed to animals as soon as it’s harvested. Cincinnati Zoo’s vice president of facilities and sustainability, Mark Fisher said: “This gives us a year-round, sustainable source of high-quality food that we can pick and serve immediately.” Other environmental benefits include a reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from crop cultivation, fertilizer application, and manure management associated with traditional farming. The hydroponic farming method uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil to grow plants, so fertiliser and pesticides are not necessary.

Porsche AG's ability to close a hefty valuation discount to top rival Ferrari could hinge on whether its main owner, Volkswagen, is prepared to take a step back, giving the German sports car maker more freedom to cut costs and shape its future. The maker of the iconic 911 has started the seventh quarter since its listing with a discount to Ferrari on a price-to-earnings (PE) basis just off a record 69%, disappointing hopes it could command a luxury-like valuation. 2024 is shaping up to be a transition year, as Porsche AG launches several new models, keeping a lid on margins ahead of a more promising 2025 for the company that is 75.4% owned by Volkswagen.

Rishi Sunak warned the world is now "more volatile and dangerous" than at any time since the Cold War, as the prime minister embarked on a trip to Poland and Germany to discuss the threat of expansionist Russia and refocus the world's eyes back on to Ukraine. Speaking to journalists on the flight over to Poland, the prime minister said we were "unfortunately living in a world that is more dangerous than we've known it in decade, probably more dangerous than the end of the Cold War", adding that this was why it was "important in that we do invest more in our defence and that's what we've been doing". Announcing a further £500m of military support being sent to Ukraine - taking the UK's total support this year to £3bn - the prime minister told journalists he was "proud" the UK had led on supporting Ukraine and also told European allies it was "important" for Europeans to invest in security in these volatile times.
