Tesla’s shares fell by 10% on the news. You can see why, said Lex in the FT. For all Musk’s insistence that electric cars and solar panels are a great match, Tesla shareholders “smelled the deal for what it was”: a bail-out between two Elon Musk companies. Tesla really doesn’t need a solar company, “and if it did, it could have bought a good one”. SolarCity is carrying more than $3bn of debt and it could come close to breaching its covenants, according to Goldman Sachs. Analysts at Oppenheimer & Co expect “a robust shareholder fight over his acquisition”.

It’s Brazil’s biggest bankruptcy on record. The company had failed to reach a deal on restructuring its debt after a long series of mergers and leadership changes. The group’s performance has gradually deteriorated over the past few years: last year interest costs were almost double operating income.

  • This Transcript Is Issued on the Understanding That It Is Taken from a Live Programme As It Was Broadcast
    THIS TRANSCRIPT IS ISSUED ON THE UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS TAKEN FROM A LIVE PROGRAMME AS IT WAS BROADCAST. THE NATURE OF LIVE BROADCASTING MEANS THAT NEITHER THE BBC NOR THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE PROGRAMME CAN GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION HERE. MONEY BOX Presenter: PAUL LEWIS TRANSMISSION: 3rd APRIL 2010 12.00-12.30 RADIO 4 LEWIS: Hello. In today’s programme - debt, debt and more debt. Not ours - well not personally - but our country’s: the UK’s, or if you prefer, the government’s. Forget a couple of hundred quid overdrawn or a few thousand on a credit card or to buy a car. Today we’re talking international debt - a trillion pounds, a million million pounds, and growing by more than a hundred billion a year. It’s about £13,000 for each person in the UK, and over the next 5 years that will almost double to just under £24,000 each. Today I’m going on a journey to find out when this debt began, how it’s grown, and see if I can reduce it. What must politicians do to get us to agree to real cuts? And what if they don’t? Finally, how does this growing debt affect our own personal finances? But, first, that word deficit. What does it mean? John Lanchester is a novelist turned economics writer, whose latest book on the banking crisis is called simply ‘Whoops!’ LANCHESTER: Etymologically deficit is related to the Latin facere meaning to make or to do. It’s coupled with the prefix di to mean unmake or undo.

  • Between Victims and Perpetrators: Analyzing the New York Times Coverage of the Genocide in Rwanda
    85 Between Victims and Perpetrators: Analyzing the New York Times Coverage of the Genocide in Rwanda Zehra Hirji Harvard University This article explores, in depth, the New York Times reporting on the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. While the conflict is often considered to be a failure on the part of the international community for their lack of response, what role, if any, did the media play in the representation of genocide? The Times covered the events on the ground every day of the violence, but how did the story unfold to the public and what are the implications of such reporting? This article hopes to analyze the events as they were portrayed by the Times and explain the significance of such reporting. Introduction group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Again and again, we declare “never again” for genocide. deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, “Not on our watch” and other rhetoric is spouted from calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole politicians and activists worldwide in response to the or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births atrocities associated with the crime of genocide.

  • Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress
    Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Updated May 17, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41153 Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The diminishment of Arctic sea ice has led to increased human activities in the Arctic, and has heightened interest in, and concerns about, the region’s future. The United States, by virtue of Alaska, is an Arctic country and has substantial interests in the region. The seven other Arctic states are Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark (by virtue of Greenland), and Russia. The Arctic Research and Policy Act (ARPA) of 1984 (Title I of P.L. 98-373 of July 31, 1984) “provide[s] for a comprehensive national policy dealing with national research needs and objectives in the Arctic.” The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the lead federal agency for implementing Arctic research policy. The Arctic Council, created in 1996, is the leading international forum for addressing issues relating to the Arctic. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) sets forth a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world’s oceans, including the Arctic Ocean. The United States is not a party to UNCLOS. Record low extents of Arctic sea ice over the past decade have focused scientific and policy attention on links to global climate change and projected ice-free seasons in the Arctic within decades. These changes have potential consequences for weather in the United States, access to mineral and biological resources in the Arctic, the economies and cultures of peoples in the region, and national security.

    GROWTH, SUCCESSES AND NEW HORIZONS ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL Chemical major celebrates 20 years and looks to the future Challengers for the America’s Cup 2021 20TH ANNIVERSARY STRATEGY was simple: to find unloved assets, invest in their facilities, lower the cost base and rejuvenate them. The formula was to prove hugely successful - the acquisition of non-core businesses from chemical BUILDING majors including Dow, Dupont, ICI, BP and BASF helping INEOS achieve phenomenal growth. The foundations were laid and momentum was building. A LEGACY The purchase of the acrylics business in 1999 and chloralkali business of ICI in 2001 had now propelled INEOS to the second largest chemicals manufacturer in the UK. It had sales of around £1bn and around 2,500 employees – one of whom was Tom Crotty, now INEOS’s director of public affairs. “I think the fact we were a private company really made a difference,” notes Crotty. “Petrochemicals is a cyclical business and we were always able to take the long view; we’re not beholden to shareholders or analysts looking at our quarterly results. “Early on, we developed a system for managing our businesses that we’ve applied consistently. It’s a simple approach where we integrate new businesses into the group and apply a very straightforward focus on costs.” With more than 20,000 employees spread across 171 sites Each business operated independently and had its own board – a rarity for a in 24 countries, and sales in excess of $60bn, INEOS has large petrochemical producer, he notes. clearly come a long way since its humble beginnings “We have a very decentralised structure that means we don’t carry the overheads that are typical for a company of our size.

It simply cannot continue to run on 50-year-old assets,” says Crotty. “Industries that don’t renew themselves eventually wither.” “We believe what we’re building in Antwerp will be the most competitive cracker complex in the world and as good as anything in the US or the Middle East. This is essential for the future of European petrochemicals.” A further £1bn is also being spent in the UK to revitalise core assets, he adds.
