EU leaders weigh China threats against a tight, retooled budget

EU leaders meet for a two-track summit focusing on how to counter China’s impact on Europe’s economy and how to resolve a stubborn seven-year budget. Northern/frugal capitals want a smaller, modernized budget with more own resources, while southern/eastern members seek to protect cohesion spending. The debate centers on redirecting funds from traditional areas like agriculture to defense, R&D, and energy resilience, with a year-end goal to reach a 2028 budget deal despite domestic populist pressures.

"NBA All-Star Game: Reimagining the Future Amid Player Apathy"

Despite increased television ratings and engagement, the NBA's All-Star Game lacks the competitive edge that the league desires, with players, especially the younger superstars, showing a lack of interest in competing at a high level. The league's push for increased competitiveness is at odds with the players' attitudes, leading to a disconnect between expectations and reality. Various suggestions have been made to improve the game, but the fundamental issue lies in the players' diminishing level of competitiveness, which may require a shift in mindset rather than external tweaks.
