In recent decades consumer energy prices have had only a modest impact on winter mortality, because they have oscillated within a fairly narrow band. In a typical European country, holding other factors constant, increasing the electricity price from its lowest level in 200019 to its highest raises weekly death rates by 3%.

THE LAST pretence of Vladimir Putin
THE LAST pretence of Vladimir Putin to be, as he imagines, one of his nation’s historic rulers was stripped away on June 24th. A band of armed mercenaries swept through his country almost unopposed, covering some 750km (470 miles) in a single day, seizing control of two big cities and getting to within 200km of Moscow before withdrawing unharmed
Sayfa 9 - Vladimir Putin'in kendi zannettiği gibi, ülkesinin tarihi yöneticilerinden biri olma iddiası 24 Haziran'da elinden alındı. Bir grup silahlı paralı asker, tek bir günde yaklaşık 750 km (470 mil) yol kat ederek, iki büyük şehrin kontrolünü ele geçKitabı okudu
Surprisingly, the gap in seasonal death rates is greater in warm countries than in cold ones. In Portugal 36% more people die per week in winter than in summer, whereas in Finland just 13% more do. Cooler countries have better heating and insulation.

Rusya, Ukrayna işgalini nasıl finanse etti
A report by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, a thinktank based in Finland, found that Russia earned $97bn in revenues from oil and gas exports during the first 100 days of its invasion of Ukraine. The European Union accounted for 61% of the revenues, though China was the biggest single importer, closely followed by Germany. Russian revenues dipped in April and May compared with March. The report concluded that Russia’s revenue from energy was enough to defray its expenditure on the war, which it estimated at $876m a day.

“the mother and father of all evil”
In 2018 Mr Erdogan appointed his soninlaw, Berat Albayrak, as finance minister in the belief that he could command market forces.
Two years later Mr Albayrak resigned for health reasons after splurging $128bn in foreignexchange reserves to defend the lira. Mr Erdogan has dogmatically insisted that interest rates are “the mother and father of all evil” and has fired three centralbank governors for not reducing
them. Two years ago the president made clear at a meeting with the Turkish Industry and Business Association that as a Muslim he would continue to lower interest rates in accordance with Islamic teaching.
Now Ms Erkan has cautiously increased the benchmark interest rate from 8.5% to 15%, although the market expected 20%. And the lira has
crashed. The question is who will blink first when Islamic teaching comes into conflict with economic orthodoxy.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group,.... An excon turned restaurateur turned murderous mercenary in Africa, Syria and Ukraine, Mr Prigozhin ascended only because of Mr Putin’s paranoia and brutality.

Germany, home to a strong antinuclear lobby, belatedly and reluctantly
agreed to extend the life of its last three reactors, albeit only until April. A few mothballed coalfired plants have been cranked back up, despite the pollution that entails

Sun, sea, and vodka
International tourism is on course to reach 65% of prepandemic levels in 2019 by the end of this year, according to the World Tourism Organisation. More than 700m people visited another country in the first nine months of 2022, up by 133% on the same period in 2021. Countries in Europe were the most visited: over the summer arrivals there reached 90% of pre-pandemic levels. Destinations with notable increases of tourists include Turkey (possibly because it is one of the few European countries that now welcomes Russians) and Serbia (ditto).

Syria and Turkey: The art of forgetting
other countries are urging them on. One is Russia, which played a decisive role in helping Mr Assad survive the civil war and maintains deep (if complicated) relations with Turkey... Also keen to play mediator is the United Arab Emirates (uae), which reopened its embassy in Syria in 2018 and last year welcomed Mr Assad on his first visit to an Arab country since the uprising began. Abdullah bin Zayed, the uae’s foreign minister, flew to Damascus on January 4th for talks with Mr Assad.

So far. Europe has weathered this shock well, stockpiling enough gas to fill storage sites. But the rise in wholesale energy costs has still reached many consumers. Even though market fuel prices have declined from their peaks, real average residential European gas and electricity costs are 144% and 78% above the figures for 2000-19.

Meanwhile, geopolitics has grown friendlier to autocrats. If the West withholds arms or loans from African juntas, China and Russia are happy to step in. So, too, are unsqueamish middling powers such as Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. Western governments have sometimes acted shabbily, turning a blind eye to a coup in Chad and electoral theft in Congo. Their hypocrisy undermines the democratic values they espouse.

Poor countries lack the resources to invest to cut emissions or adapt to climate change themselves. Yet relative to the size of their economies, they face the biggest costs.

Having created oneman rule, Mr Putin also seemed unable to command loyalty. Although support did not flock to Mr Prigozhin, neither did it to Mr Putin, either on the streets or among the political and military elites. For 24 nervejangling hours Russia stayed silent and inactive, waiting to see which way the wind would blow

And Mr Putin used Mr Prigozhin to interfere (again, deniably) in foreign elections, including the one that brought Donald Trump to power in 2016.
