FRANKFURT, Germany -- The European Central Bank is set to join the U.S. Federal Reserve in making a jumbo interest rate hike Thursday as it tries to stamp out record inflation — although it risks worsening a recession that economists say is bearing down on Europe. The meeting of the bank's governing council is not about whether to raise rates for the 19 countries that use the euro currency, but by how much: between half a percentage point or three-quarters of a point, analysts say. The bank made its first increase in 11 years at its last meeting in July, raising rates by a half-point when it usually changes by only a quarter-point. The ECB, which once predicted no rate increases at all this year, has torn up its road map in the face of record inflation of 9.1% last month, which has been ...

CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia’s Parliament on Thursday enshrined in law the government’s elevated target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 43% below 2005 levels by the end of the decade. The Senate passed legislation supporting the target in a vote of 37 to 30 even though several senators who supported it wanted a more ambitious 2030 target. The center-left Labor Party government officially committed Australia to the 43% target after it came to power for the first time in nine years at May elections. But entrenching it in law has made it more difficult for any future government to reduce the target. Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the Senate vote provided certainty to clean energy investors while strengthening transparency and accountability in Australia’s c...

La llegada de Styles al Lido, donde “Don’t Worry Darling” tendrá su estreno mundial el lunes, ha sido uno de los eventos más anticipados de un festival lleno de estrellas. En una conferencia de prensa previa al estreno, a Styles le hicieron preguntas sobre sus fans, su carrera y si volvería a trabajar con la directora Olivia Wilde, ninguna de las cuales respondió. En “Don’t Worry Darling”, Styles int...

VENICE, Italy -- After much anticipation, Olivia Wilde's “ Don't Worry Darling ” finally had its world premiere Monday night at the Venice International Film Festival. Before the film, hundreds of screaming Harry Styles fans swarmed the edges of the red carpet trying to get a glimpse of him. His rapturous reception made the Timothée Chalamet mania seen on Friday seem modest in comparison. Star Florence Pugh also made a movie star entrance on the Lido donning a sparkling, off-the-shoulder Valentino and, like styles, stopping to talk to fans on her way down the carpet. By the time the premiere was over, audiences took to their feet, giving “Don't Worry Darling” a five-minute ovation, and Styles could be seen in the balcony giving his co-star Nick Kroll a big hug. Yet premiere day did litt...

In an exclusive interview with ABC's "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicated he's not interested in negotiating with Russia to end Moscow's invasion. "It's a question of dialogue with terrorists. We cannot -- you cannot discuss anything with terrorists. The majority of the world -- majority of the countries -- understand that we are dealing with a terrorist state after what they've done to our people, to civilian people," Zelenskyy said. Zelenskyy cited suspected instances of rape and Oofos Canada torture by Russian troops in areas outside of Kyiv during a retreat earlier this year.
