Greece’s economic success story

Feb 24, 2026Center Right

Greece is no longer Europe’s chronic bailout case. It is becoming one of the world’s most compelling economic comeback stories and one of Europe’s most strategically important states. The turnaround is real. Greece’s economy is expected to grow 2.4% in 2026, after expanding 2.2% in 2025. Tourism remains strong, but business investment is rising, and household consumption is improving. Even more significantly, […]

Donald Trump is the accidental hero of a real-life feelgood climate tale even as a creeping horror story plays alongside | Clear Air

Despite a deadly heatwave sweeping through Europe, the US president’s ineptness has created reason for optimism on the climate crisisSign up for climate and environment editor Adam Morton’s free Clear Air newsletter hereTwo real-life climate-themed movies are playing in parallel across the globe. They are about the world today, but they are also a snapshot of the future. The first is a slow-building horror story; the second, a feelgood summer hit. Both are worth watching.Horror films are suddenly box-office gold, so let’s start there. The World Health Organisation says the extreme, record-breaking heatwave blanketing Europe has killed more than 1,300 people. But everyone knows that number will end up a dramatic understatement.

Trump's latest economic figures raise red flags for CNN analyst: 'Defying logic'

The latest economic figures for President Donald Trump's economy raised all sorts of red flags for one analyst on Thursday. The Department of Labor reported that just 57,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy over the last three months, which is far below the 129,000 jobs that were cited in the last report. The unemployment rate also dropped to 4.2%, which is often a sign of a healthy economy, but the numbers were not comforting to David Goldman, CNN's senior business reporter. Goldman reacted to the numbers on "CNN News Central" on Thursday. He noted that the data suggest certain sectors of the economy, such as health care and hospitality, are struggling to hire workers. For instance, he noted that just 22,000 nursing jobs had been added over the last year, far below the 38,000 added at this time last year. "That is something that we need to watch," Goldman said. He also noted that the figures showed a significant decline in hospitality hiring, which seemed hard to believe because multiple cities are hosting World Cup games. "I think, and there are a number of economists who are smarter than me who think, that this might change as we get those revisions in the future months, because this is kind of defying logic and defining what we can see with our own eyes," Goldman said.

'Disappointed': Fox Business crew frets as Trump hit with poor economic numbers

The Fox Business team was greeted with bad news on Thursday as job numbers came in shockingly low."We came in underneath expectations," said Cheryl Casone. "We came in at 50,000 nonfarm jobs. The Street was looking for 110,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.2 percent, down from 4.3 percent, which it had been holding steady at for about three months."Furthermore, she noted, the underemployment rate, or rate that includes people who are working in lower-pay or lower-hours jobs that don't use all their skills, is 7.9 percent — and payrolls from earlier in the year were revised down by over 70,000. And health care and social assistance went up, but leisure and hospitality jobs went down.This isn't the report Wall Street wanted, Casone noted — and when Maria Bartiromo tried to spin it as a "Goldilocks story" because the Dow Jones went up slightly on the news, right-wing economic analyst and former Trump adviser Stephen Moore disagreed."Well, I'm just looking at some of the other numbers, and look, I mean I'm a little disappointed in this, frankly," said Moore. "If you look at the household survey, it showed half a million fewer Americans working. So I'm a little puzzled by this."

Theory emerges that Alito planted false retirement story to catch a leaker

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito may have planted the story of his resignation that was published then retracted by NPR on Tuesday in an attempt to uncover a leak in his staff. This so-called “canary trap,” says one advocate of the theory, is the only explanation for the news outlet’s mistake. This is according to conservative journalist Miranda Devine, who posted on Wednesday, “The only way the Totenberg-Alito story makes sense is that this veteran NPR legal reporter had a trusted and highly placed source inside SCOTUS who confirmed that Alito was retiring. No editor would publish such a story unless the reporter were reliable. A reliable reporter does not say 'oh I thought I heard something' without double-checking with a source to confirm. Ideally she would call Alito to confirm as well. But somehow Totenberg and her editors at NPR were satisfied that her sourcing was impeccable without official on the record confirmation.”In other words, Devine is saying that it is highly unlikely that such a story would be run based solely on what the NPR journalist who wrote the story, Nina Totenberg, claimed was something she misheard in the court halls. Typically a new organization requires a report to be confirmed, and as CNN noted, Totenberg’s explanation “didn’t fully explain why NPR published the report without additional confirmation.”With all this in mind, Devine suggests, it is more likely that Totenberg, in fact, did have a second source inside the court who had provided reliable information in the past. “That leaves a very small list of suspects,” writes Devine. “Someone close to Alito who was very confident that he was retiring. As people have speculated, Alito may have planted a false tale to catch out the leaker: a canary trap.”This theory appears to have been first raised by a conservative podcaster who on Tuesday posted, “Did Justice Alito just Canary Trap the Dobbs v Jackson leaker????”A canary trap is a leak‑sniffing tactic where one seeds slightly different versions of sensitive information to different people so the specific version that is revealed identifies the source. As the poster mentioned, in the lead-up to the Supreme Court’s highly consequential 2022 ruling regarding Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which ultimately overturned Roe vs. Wade, a draft of the opinion was leaked to Politico, and the source of the leak has remained a mystery ever since. The canary trap, then, could be an attempt to identify that person. This isn’t the only theory surrounding the resignation. According to Douglas Farrar, Former Director of Public Affairs at the Federal Trade Commission, “This looks like an embargo broken to me,” referring to the practice of providing sensitive information to reporters on the condition that they “embargo” it until a certain time. If that is the case, concludes Farrar, “I expect we'll see Alito announce his retirement soon.”
