White House Rules Out Diesel Export Ban as Prices Surge Above $6.50

The White House on Wednesday denied that the Administration is considering a ban on U.S. diesel exports, clarifying comments from President Donald Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent a day earlier that appeared to leave the door open to restrictions as the average diesel price in America topped $6.50 per gallon. A White House official denied a report that the Administration was preparing a 90-day ban on diesel exports, while Energy Secretary Chris Wright said nobody was considering a flat ban on shipments. Instead, the Administration is…

US air traffic control exposed: Outdated computers, cut cables, and parts bought on eBay

US air traffic control exposed: Outdated computers, cut cables, and parts bought on eBay

WASHINGTON: America's aging air traffic control system - reliant on outdated telecom systems, decades-old ‌Compaq computers and replacement parts bought on eBay - keeps failing. In the latest example, thousands of flights across the densely populated Northeast were delayed or canceled on Monday due to the dual failures of a circuit at a Philadelphia air traffic facility and the accidental cut of a fiber-optic cable near New Brunswick, New Jersey, by a construction crew. "The architecture of our telecom is still a 40-year-old architecture, which means you could have a switch go down and a line be cut yesterday and the Northeast goes down," U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said on Tuesday. The disruption underscores how fragile the nation's air traffic control network ⁠has become after decades of delayed modernization efforts, underfunding and piecemeal fixes. Despite billions already spent or approved, the Federal Aviation Administration still relies on aging, often incompatible systems that can turn a single equipment failure or severed cable into flight chaos - a risk officials warn will persist without a far larger overhaul. In January 2023, all flights departing the U.S. were grounded for the first time since the September 11, 2001, attacks after a contractor accidentally deleted ‌computer files, affecting a key pilot messaging database. The outage disrupted 11,000 flights before the issue was solved. In September 2025, more than 2,000 flights were delayed and hundreds were canceled at two Dallas-area airports due to a telecom outage after a contractor cut fiber lines, impacting communication systems at the Dallas airports. It disrupted flights for 100,000 American ‌Airlines passengers alone. There have been repeated serious technology issues, which last year convinced Congress to approve $12.5 billion ‌to modernize air traffic control systems. Duffy said on Tuesday he wants another $30 billion to complete upgrades and fix facilities. "These incidents will continue to happen ‌unless we get the resources and actually build the architecture fit ‌for the 21st century," Duffy said. Across the Atlantic, Britain has also suffered major air traffic control outages this month that have led airlines to question the resilience of its systems. Aging technology The FAA has been forced to use 3D printing or to go ‌to eBay for replacement parts for some of its aging systems. In other cases, the FAA can no longer get ⁠spare parts. The Government Accountability Office in 2024 said the FAA needed to take "urgent action" to address aging air traffic control systems, noting that one-third are unsustainable. The FAA's more than 300 air traffic facilities cannot talk to one another and operate on individual analog computers. "Every facility is a silo," FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford told Reuters in a recent interview. "We're behind 20 ⁠years." He said effectively the FAA's towers are ⁠run on individual Compaq computers. The brand, which was acquired by HP, stopped producing computers in 2013. The FAA still has aging telephone systems and three telecom systems that are not interoperable and have a "clunky connection" that often forces delays, Bedford said. At the same time, the US has the world's most complex airspace and faces ⁠a shortage of several thousand air traffic controllers. One big step is expected in late 2027 when air traffic control will move from analog to digital communications. The FAA will later shift all of the facilities from running on individual computers to the cloud. The FAA has tried for decades to modernize the system, but those efforts have repeatedly fallen short. In 1982, the FAA first released a comprehensive plan for improving air traffic control services, estimating it would cost about $10 billion by the late 1990s. The Government Accountability Office in 1995 said the cost had ballooned to at least $36 billion on ‌the effort to consolidate facilities and standardize computer hardware and software. Another FAA reform effort dubbed "NextGen" launched in 2004 was pegged at $15 billion, but a report last year said it has faced numerous delays and cost overruns and is less ambitious than what was envisioned more than 20 years ago. "FAA has delivered a delayed, over budget, and less transformational NextGen than originally planned," said the Transportation Department Office of Inspector General. The FAA has also been working for years to end a long-ridiculed, decades-old practice of air traffic controllers using paper flight strips to keep track of aircraft. But adopting the change, which started in 2022, at 49 major airports will take the FAA until at least 2028. The FAA said 18 major airports have already ‌gotten rid of the paper strips.

Jack Dempsey v Gene Tunney at 100: when a great champion met his greatest inquisitor

Jack Dempsey v Gene Tunney at 100: when a great champion met his greatest inquisitor

On 23 September 1926, two of the best heavyweights in American history met in front of 120,000 fans in Philadelphia. The fight drew in a nation The two fights between Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney rank with boxing’s most-storied championship bouts and are among the greatest sports spectacles ever seen in America. Wednesday marks the one hundredth anniversary of their first encounter. Dempsey bridged boxing’s old and modern eras and was one of the most charismatic fighters in history. When Dempsey was young, biographer Randy Roberts recounts, “he lived in mining camps and hobo jungles, rode the rods, and more than once begged for food. What separated him was his willingness, even eagerness, to work. He accepted any type of employment from washing dishes, cutting lawns, and scrubbing floors to the harder work of coal-mining, digging ditches, and picking fruit.” Continue reading...

Britain’s Slave Traders by William A Pettigrew review – the inconvenient truth

Britain’s Slave Traders by William A Pettigrew review – the inconvenient truth

This revelatory history shows just how deeply embedded slavery is in the foundations of modern Britain One tedious aspect of Britain’s post-imperial melancholia is the number of amateur historians who would rather we stopped going on about our role in the slave trade. Isn’t it all in the past? Weren’t we the first to abolish it anyway? In April, the Reform party announced a new policy of halting visas to people from countries seeking slavery reparations from Britain. “The United Kingdom is not an ATM for ethnic grievances from the past,” the party’s home affairs spokesperson, Zia Yusuf, said. Unfortunately for those who would rather forget, the slave trade, as William Pettigrew argues in this grimly important book, can be found “in the depths of Britain’s grain”. Ninety per cent of the enslaved Africans transported to America went on British ships, and slave traders’ actions transformed Britain in ways that still resonate today. Continue reading...

Trump complicates GOP’s Mamdani strategy

Trump complicates GOP’s Mamdani strategy

NEW YORK: Earlier in the month, President Donald Trump warned voters that democratic socialists - extreme, crazed, lunatics, he called them - were threatening to transform America into "a communist country.” This week, a smiling Trump patted on the shoulder one of the nation's best known democratic socialists, shook his hand, and said he was "off to a start” to being a great mayor of the country's largest city. Trump's cozy relationship with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, which began last year, has confounded people across the political spectrum. But with the midterms approaching, Republicans are increasingly frustrated by the unexpected bromance, which threatens the party's message about Democratic radicalism. US President Donald Trump and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani speak to reporters during a press conference following their meeting at Gracie Mansion in New York City, US, September 21, 2026. Picture taken with a mobile phone. (Reuters) "You’re trying to say, ‘Here’s how extreme they are,' and the president’s saying, ’I love this guy,” said veteran Republican strategist Doug Heye. "It doesn’t help.” It's hard to overstate the extent to which Republicans are focused on the rise of democratic socialism in the midterm season. At a moment when the party is saddled with Trump's weak approval ratings on virtually every major issue - the economy and the war in Iran chief among them - Republicans from Georgia and Texas to New York and Michigan are working to scare voters away from Democratic candidates by warning that the party is controlled by far-left extremists. At Trump's unusual midterm convention in Texas earlier in the month, Mamdani's name was evoked over and over again. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz called the New York Mayor "Comrade Mamdani.” Rep. Tom Emmer, the No. 3 House Republican, called him "Mamdani the commie.” Trump sent a similar message although he didn't mention Mamdani. "They call themselves Democrat socialists, but actually they’re communists,” he said in his keynote address. "They’re crazy.” In all, the words socialist or socialism were referenced dozens of times during the convention. Trump did not mention those words while standing alongside Mamdani in New York on Monday, however. The president was in town for the United Nations General Assembly and made time to swing by Gracie Mansion. Instead, the president highlighted efforts underway to work together, noting that he's worked with numerous mayors over the years - "some great ones and some not so great ones.” "Hopefully you’re going to be a great one,” Trump said while looking at Mamdani. "I’ll be able to say you’re going to be a great one. And you’re off to a start.” Trump grew up in Queens, which Mamdani represented in the New York Assembly before running for mayor and winning a startling upset. He has since expanded his political power in the city, helping to push three candidates to victory in Democratic congressional primaries earlier this year. It's possible that Trump's tone on Mamdani will shift again. After they had two surprisingly convivial meeting in the Oval Office, Trump started criticizing the mayor again. "Sadly, Mayor Mamdani is DESTROYING New York! It has no chance!,” Trump wrote on social media in April in apparent response to a plan to create a new tax on luxury second homes in the city. "The United States of America should not contribute to its failure. It will only get WORSE. The TAX, TAX, TAX Policies are SO WRONG.” US President Donald Trump, riding in "The Beast”, departs Gracie Mansion after a meeting with New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani in New York, US, September, 21, 2026. (Reuters) Republicans in New York were quick to downplay the latest example of Trump's friendliness with Mamdani. David Laska, a spokesperson for the New York Republican Party, said "President Trump is the greatest dealmaker in history, and he has proven repeatedly that he can deal from a position of strength with America’s enemies, be they foreign dictators or the mayor of New York City.” Mamdani faced his own questions about why he was playing nice with a president that he's previously described as a fascist. "The president and I have both been very frank about the many disagreements that we have,” he said Monday. "I will continue to have conversations with the president, and frankly, anyone who can deliver relief to the people of this city."

Europe frets about Trump. But soon he could be the least of our problems | Mujtaba Rahman

Europe frets about Trump. But soon he could be the least of our problems | Mujtaba Rahman

The US relationship is stabilising, but how will Europe face up to Russia and China if President Le Pen is in power? I addressed a group of more than 100 European ambassadors recently on the big challenges facing the continent this year and next. My main point to these senior diplomats was that, perhaps counterintuitively, Europe’s biggest external challenges over the next 12 months will come from Russia and China, rather than the US. Europe’s relationship with Trump’s America remains difficult. The US president has weakened confidence in Nato, raised new transatlantic trade tensions and introduced uncertainty into everything from US support for Ukraine to his territorial designs on Greenland. Yet paradoxically, and notwithstanding Trump’s latest tariff threats over the EU’s outreach to Canada, the transatlantic relationship is becoming the more stable part of Europe’s external environment. Not stable, but more stable. Mujtaba Rahman is the managing director for Europe at Eurasia Group, a political risk research and consulting firm Continue reading...
