The German train company DB had its worst month ever, only 51.5% of its long-distance trains were on time.

I am sure by the end of the year, they can get this below 50%.

Well, Italy's press freedom hit the headlines around the world.

#TheIntercept reports on how #AgenziaNova fired its reporter @gabrielenunziati.bsky.social for asking a question about #Israel

What happens when climate ambition meets everyday dependence on the car?
That question was at the heart of the #BrownBag seminar at @hertieschool.bsky.social, where Dr @giuliomattioli.bsky.social examined how rising fuel prices affect vulnerable households and what his decade-long research on

Sarkozy is going to jail but he’s not the first one. In our new dataset we track modern leaders who have been prosecuted by their own states. There are 215 of them. Turns out leader prosecution is a common & healthy practice in democracies. Full access link: foreignpolicy.com/2025/10/28/d...

Prosecuting the Powerful

Historical data shows putting leaders on trial is a healthy democratic practice.

Support among Dutch voters for Wilders' PVV has plummeted, from a (ridiculous) high of 31% in the beginning of last year to less than 18% now.
Three days left to fall further.

Overall I was struck by the similarities between what happens in the road transport sector and the other sectors examined - certainly demonstrates the value of bringing these sectors together! (End)

The chapter identifies the main actors contributing to climate obstruction within each sector...

Giulio Mattioli @giuliomattioli.bsky.social · 26d

I was one of the contributing authors to Chapter 3, which focuses on the role of actors in the coal, utilities and transport sectors.

Transport here includes not just road transport / the automotive industry (on which I provided some input) but also shipping and aviation.
