High Representative Kaja Kallas will raise the issue of Aughinish Alumina when she meets with the Irish prime minister this week, her spokesperson confirms, calling it a matter of "concern".
The company is accused of sending the majority of its exports to Russian smelters.
Not enough people know that the DOJ is keeping the part of Trump's IRS settlement in place that shields Trump and his family from IRS audits.
That's *extraordinarily* corrupt. Don't let it fly under the radar. https://t.co/4I2ovkLZQq
Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.
Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.
Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
🚨BREAKING: The American Postal Workers Union (APWU) says it is “deeply alarmed” about the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) new rule created to carry out President Donald Trump’s plans for restricting mail-in voting. https://t.co/ZHYGFbkSCC
Today, Zelenskyy, Starmer, Macron, and Merz meet in London. The format itself is worth welcoming, even if the EU has once again been left on the sidelines.
The real question is what mindset the E3 brings to the table.
Zelenskyy set the tone with his open letter to Putin. While his European partners likely share its substance, they are unlikely to be ready to openly put their signatures beneath it.
But they do see that Russia is not looking for middle ground. It is set on war. Seeking a balanced compromise with an aggressor committed to conquest is not diplomacy. It is self-deception.
The predecessors of today’s leaders understood this well.
Symbolically, eighty-five years ago, London hosted another gathering. In June 1941, representatives of fourteen Allied governments and liberation movements met there to unite against Nazism.
The final London Declaration was not about ending a war. It was about uniting those willing to win it and shape the peace that followed.
One can only hope today’s meeting is guided by the same logic.
Europe’s prosperity depends on its security. Europe’s security depends on Ukraine. It is time to turn that truth into effective policy. And fast.
Three African countries have begun construction of a gas pipeline to Europe that bypasses Russia – Business Insider.
Algeria, Niger, and Nigeria are carrying out the Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline project, which, once completed, will be capable of supplying the EU with up to 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually.
Construction work has already started in Algeria. The total length of the gas pipeline will exceed 4,000 km.
The project is considered one of the key routes for replacing Russian gas on the European market.
Completely blown away by this.
Today I was recognised by President Zelenskyy with the Order of Merit. A profound honour.
Right now powerful people want the truth about Ukraine buried. It’s a privilege to be able to tell it. ❤️🇺🇦🔥
I’ve been investigating the russian refinery for days now and the story gets darker and darker. The shipments are sent to Siberia, smelted, and sold to the russian company ‘ASK’. This company distributes aluminium directly to Russia’s missile & drone manufacturers.
