BRUSSELS, March 20 (Reuters) - European Union member states have agreed to supply one million rounds of artillery ammunition to Ukraine, Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur said on the sidelines of a meeting with his EU counterparts in Brussels on Monday.
If not for the Moderna-OWS cooperation, the vaccine rollout would have been much slower. As a result, Pfizer has received more than a billion dollars more from the government than Moderna. Moderna´s vaccine has proven more durable and protective against severe illness than Pfizer´s in real-world studies. Yet the Administration has consistently paid Pfizer $3 to $4 more per dose.
The United States has historically been hostile to the ICC, with the previous Republican administration of Donald Trump imposing sanctions on the court's then-prosecutor for probing US military actions in Af
In the case of Silicon Valley Bank, regulators failed to do that job. The Federal Reserve´s role as the lead agency in responding to this crisis has obscured its failures as the agency that was responsible for supervising the bank in the first place. "That´s my problem with the Fed: If they were honest, they would admit their own mistakes." "They should have stopped them months ago," said Anat Admati, a finance professor at Stanford University.
"In part as a result of having this very different worldview than we do, they have a marriage of convenience. I'm not sure if it's conviction," America's top diplomat told the Senate Foreign Relations
President Xi Jinping on Wednesday closed a trip to Moscow that was closely watched in Washington, which considers China the greatest long-term adversary of the United States -- and which is also supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian
The failures in recent days ended the second-longest stretch without a bank failure since the Great Depression. Those changes, including the safeguards imposed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, were, largely, to the good. On average, an American bank failed every three days between 1980 and 1994. The pace of failures reached similar heights in the immediate aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, but since then failures have been much less common.
In the key northeastern region of Adamawa -- which could see the election of Nigeria's first woman governor -- the results were declared "inconclusive" as the number of voters unable to cast their ballot was greater than the margin between the two fro
Erin Walker, public policy director of Montana child safety organization Project STAND, told NBC News McKenna spoke about the draft legislation, and she then raised the idea with politicians in her state.
Yet the details of Silicon Valley Bank´s rise and fall are depressingly familiar. The bank took big risks to grow quickly by gathering and investing money from a wide range of tech start-ups; its shareholders cheered, and its auditors and regulators did nothing to interfere. Regulators also should have limited the bank´s dangerous reliance on large, uninsured deposits. Indeed, regulators treated Silicon Valley Bank´s core strategy of investing in government bonds as essentially risk free, blind to the dangers posed by a rapid rise in interest rates.
Cooperating with the government to produce life-saving Covid vaccines. No good treatment goes unpunished for pharmaceutical companies these days, and Bernie Sanders will offer another example on Wednesday when he holds a political show trial of Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel.
OTTAWA, March 24 (Reuters) - The United States and Canada must together build a North American market on everything from semiconductors to solar panel batteries, in the face of growing competition, including from an "increasingly assertive China," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday.

When the American public last swallowed the bitter pill of a bank bailout, policymakers promised to regulate the industry more stringently to end the long-running cycle of privatized profits and losses absorbed by the public.
Carol Beecher, Alaska´s director of elections, told her state legislature last week that she´s evaluating whether to pull out of ERIC because "it´s expensive and we are a small state." What she didn´t say, according to the Anchorage Daily News, is that the state´s fees and dues have been less than $17,000 annually in recent years.
The recklessness of that decision, and companion measures to loosen other safeguards, was clear at the time. This board warned that policymakers were inviting another crisis. Lawmakers accepted the arguments of the two banks, and their allies, barely a decade after the failure of similar-size lenders like Washington Mutual and National City Bank played a starring role in the 2008 financial crisis.
