UK’s Jeremy Hunt ready to risk recession to bring inflation down

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:32:05 GMT

LONDON — Jeremy Hunt is prepared to accept a recession if interest rate rises help curb inflation, the U.K. chancellor has signaled.In a Sky News interview Friday, Hunt insisted the “only path to sustainable growth” is to bring down the cost of essential goods.Asked if he was comfortable with further interest rate rises even if they risk pushing the U.K. into a recession, Hunt said: “Yes, because in the end inflation is a source of instability.”“If we want to have prosperity, to grow the economy, to reduce the risk of recession, we have to support the Bank of England in the difficult decisions that they take,” Hunt added.Under U.K. monetary policy, the power to raise interest rates lies with the independent central bank. As part of its bid to tackle stubbornly high inflation, the bank has raised its key base rate to the highest level since the middle of the global financial crisis in 2008.Despite recently falling below 10 percent for the first tim...

War in Ukraine could last ‘decades,’ ex-Russian leader says

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:32:05 GMT

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who regularly makes blunt remarks about the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine, said Friday that the conflict was likely to drag on for years.“This conflict is for a very long time. It’s all for decades, probably,” said Medvedev, who is now the deputy head of the Russian Security Council — directly under Russian President Vladimir Putin — during a visit to Vietnam, according to Russian state-owned newswire RIA Novosti.“As long as there is such power [in Kyiv], there will be, say, three years of cease-fire, two years of conflict, and then everything will happen again,” he added.While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed hopes of ending the conflict as early as this year, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin has said the war would be a “long process.”U.S. officials have similarly said the struggle could drag on for years, joining the list of “frozen” conflicts, like the one b...

In The News is a roundup of stories from The Canadian Press designed to kickstart your day. Here is what’s on the radar of our editors for the morning of May 26 …What we are watching in Canada …As the spring season brings higher flood risk to Canadians, as seen in British Columbia recently, experts say many homeowners remain without adequate insurance to cover extreme weather’s damage to their homes.“I would say that Canadians in general are not truly aware of the risks that their homes are exposed to, and the exposure they have to extreme weather events and the potential losses they could experience,” said Michelle Laidlaw, associate vice-president of The Co-operators Group Ltd.’s national product portfolio.Flooding is the biggest under-insured climate risk in Canada, said Victor Adesanya, vice-president of insurance at DBRS Morningstar, especially during the spring thaw.The Insurance Bureau of Canada said more than 1.5 million households in Canada are “highly exp...

EXPLAINER: Texas’ extraordinary move to impeach scandal-plagued GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:32:05 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — After years of legal and ethical scandals swirling around Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, the state’s GOP-controlled House of Representatives has moved toward an impeachment vote that could quickly throw him from office.The extraordinary and rarely-used maneuver comes in the final days of the state’s legislative session and sets up a bruising political fight. It pits Paxton, who has aligned himself closely with former President Donald Trump and the state’s hard-right conservatives, against House Republican leadership, who appear to have suddenly had enough of the allegations of wrongdoing that have long dogged Texas’ top lawyer.Paxton has said the charges are based on “hearsay and gossip, parroting long-disproven claims.”Here is how the impeachment process works in Texas, and how the 60-year-old Republican came to face the prospect of becoming just the third official to be impeached in the state’s nearly 200-year history:THE PROCESSUnder the Texas ...

Feds warned about risks of delaying 24 Sussex decision almost a year before it closed

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:32:05 GMT

OTTAWA — Almost a year before the closure of 24 Sussex Drive due to disrepair and an infestation of rodents, the chairman of the National Capital Commission’s board of directors warned that further delaying a cabinet decision on the fate of the residence would put the whole structure at risk.The mansion, which sits on a prime riverfront property a few kilometres from Parliament Hill, served as the home for Canada’s prime ministers between 1950 and 2015.Concerns about the deteriorating state of the building prompted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family move into a different official residence after he was elected. For nearly eight years, they have lived at Rideau Cottage, which is on the grounds of nearby Rideau Hall.Since then, the federal Liberal cabinet has continually deferred making a decision about whether to restore the heritage property. It’s seen as a bit of a political quagmire. In 2018, Trudeau remarked that no prime minister wanted to spend taxpa...
