How the reparations loan for Ukraine fell apart at the eleventh hour On Thursday night, EU leaders realised that their planned reparations loan for Ukraine – a proposal without parallel in modern history – could not overcome the obstacles in its way.

I’ve read the word “reparation” more in the past few months than I have in my entire lifetime. But how did everything go down exactly? Why did EU leaders decide to opt for a joint debt instead?

"Then she asked me if we were patient for a week, 10 days, a month at most, Italy would join," Lula said in a separate comment.

A blocking minority of four countries representing 35% of the bloc's population could derail the signing of the deal. Italy's stance is therefore pivotal.

Following a phone call with Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she'd support the deal if stronger assurances are in place for Italian farmers.

Some warn the decision could be detrimental to the EU. While backers hope it won't further derail the deal, European Commission Chief Ursula von der Leyen remains confident. She says that after more than 25 years of negotiations, "a delay of three weeks is tolerable".

The European Commission decided to delay the signing of the EU-Mercosur agreement until January, with France and Italy pressing for stronger safeguards to protect the farmers.

Latest twist at #EUCO:

Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic have come up with a new idea: to raise joint debt for Ukraine under an enhanced cooperation mechanism.

The three countries will not veto the plan and, in turn, exempt themselves from the financial liability.

🚨 Bombshell at #EUCO at almost 2 am: António Costa has proposed to use common borrowing to meet Ukraine's most immediate financial needs while technical work on the reparations loan continues in the coming months.

Video shows bystander tackling and disarming Bondi Beach gunman The New South Wales Premier said the man, seen in video taking down a gunman at the attack on the Jewish community in Australia, was a “genuine hero.”

The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror. I mourn those who were murdered and will be keeping their families, the Jewish community, and the Chabad movement in my prayers. May the memories of all those killed be a blessing. While we are still waiting for all the facts to emerge, what we already know is devastating. At least 11 dead, including Rabbi Eli Schlanger, who held deep ties to Crown Heights. At least 29 injured. Another Jewish community plunged into mourning and loss, a holiday of light so painfully reduced to a day of darkness. This attack is merely the latest, most horrifying iteration in a growing pattern of violence targeted at Jewish people across the world. Too many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too. On Bondi Beach today, as men with long guns targeted innocents, another man ran towards the gunfire and disarmed a shooter. Tonight, as Jewish New Yorkers light menorahs and usher in a first night of Hanukkah clouded by grief, let us look to his example and confront hatred with the urgency and action it demands. When I am Mayor, I will work every day to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe—on our streets, our subways, at shul, in every moment of every day. Let this be a purpose shared by every New Yorker, and let us banish this horrific violence to the past.
