Workers face being targets in what could be Environmental Protection Agency’s biggest upheaval since its foundingAfter several years of recovery after the tumult of Donald Trump’s last administration, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is now bracing itself for even deeper cuts to staff numbers and to work protecting Americans from pollution and the climate crisis as Trump prepares to return to the White House.When he was last president, Trump gutted more than 100 environmental rules and vowed to only leave a “little bit of the EPA” left “because you can’t destroy business”, prompting hundreds of agency staff to leave amid a firestorm of political interference and retaliation against civil servants. An even greater exodus is expected this time, with staff fearing they are frontline targets in what could be the biggest upheaval in the agency’s 50-year history. Continue reading…

Comments by John Healey come as Starmer is in Paris to meet Macron and discuss implications of Trump’s victoryGood morning. Keir Starmer is in Paris this morning for talks with the French president, Emmanuel Macron. The prime minister is visiting to attend the French Armistice Day service, but the real interest will lie in what the leaders of Europe’s two military powers have to say as they discuss the implications of Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election.Here is Jessica Elgot’s overnight preview story.Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Vladimir Putin on Thursday and discussed the war in Ukraine, the Washington Post reported on Sunday, citing people familiar with the matter.The US president-elect advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of “Washington’s sizeable military presence in Europe”, the Post reported.Ukraine is certainly under pressure. Russia is certainly escalating, and President Trump has reportedly told Putin and warned him against further escalation. If he’s done that, he’s right to do so.Russia is escalating with massing North Korean troops on their territory. It’s escalating with more than 2,000 one-way attack kamikaze drones aimed at Kyiv and the rest of the Ukrainian cities in the last month alone. And one person is responsible for that escalation, and that’s Putin. Continue reading…

Greens estimate that forgiving all student debt will save someone owing $27,600 about $5,500 a year. Follow today’s news liveGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastExecutives from supermarket giant Aldi are set to be grilled on the state of the sector, AAP reports, as the consumer watchdog examines rising prices at the checkout.Aldi officials will be questioned by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission over the next two days as part of its latest round of hearings into supermarkets.This demonstrates the level of difficulty entering and expanding in supermarket retailing, and the significant investment, time and differentiated offering required to expand.Prime minister [Anthony] Albanese made a series of announcements with President [Joe] Biden around critical minerals, and we would expect the United States to continue to focus on that area.Obviously, President [Donald] Trump and his administration will have their own approach, but it’s been very clear that a lot of countries have been overly reliant on one supply source, and there’s going to be a real focus on supply chain resilience and sovereignty across the world.
