Green Economy Minister and German Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck acknowledged that the deal was “unusual” but reflected the reality of a “different, more threatening world” where companies like Rheinmetall have gained prominence as arms suppliers to Ukraine, where Kyiv uses Western munitions to fend off Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion. Despite dominating parts of the final on Saturday night and creating clear chances, Dortmund eventually succumbed in the latter stages to the favored Real Madrid, which won its record-extending 15th title. Dani Carvajal scored the opener with a header from a corner in the 74th minute, before Vinícius Júnior doubled…

Over 100 years ago, Alexander Graham Bell asked the readers of National Geographic to do something bold and fresh – “to found a new science.” He pointed out that sciences based on the measurements of sound and light already existed.

At some point in your life, you are likely to need legal advice. A survey carried out in 2023 by the Law Society, the Legal Services Board and YouGov found that two-thirds of respondents had experienced a legal issue in the past four years.
