Brussels:
The EU announced on Tuesday a one-billion-euro ($1.2-billion) aid package for Afghanistan, "to avert a major humanitarian and socio-economic collapse," said the bloc's chief, Ursula von der Leyen.
The money, pledged at a virtual G20 summit, adds 250 million euros to a 300-million-euro sum the EU previously announced for urgent humanitarian needs, with the remainder going to Afghanistan's neighbouring countries taking in Afghans fleeing Taliban rule, a statement said.

"To Become A Nation Of Innovation Again": France Unveils Re-Industrialisation Plan

Paris:
President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday announced a plan worth 30 billion euros ($35 billion) to re-industrialise France, saying the country should reclaim its crown as a global leader in innovation.
Speaking at the Elysee Palace six months before a presidential election and one month ahead of a UN climate summit, Macron said France had taken key decisions "15-20 years later than some of our European neighbours" and now needed "to become a nation of innovation and research again".
The spending was to address "a kind of growth deficit" for France brought on by insufficient investment in the past, he told an audience of company leaders and university students.
France, he said, needed to return to "a virtuous cycle" which consisted of "innovating, producing and exporting and in that way finance our social model" as part of a new "France 2030" plan.
Over the next decade, France would aim to become a global leader in green hydrogen, which companies and governments are increasingly putting at the centre of efforts to de-carbonise economic sectors that rely most on fossil fuels for their energy needs.
Macron singled out steel production, cement and the chemical sector, as well as truck, bus, rail and air transport.
He said that following the Covid-19 pandemic, "which put us face to face with our vulnerabilities", France had to work towards French and European productive autonomy.
France also needed to invest heavily in medical research, Macron said.
After the global Covid outbreak, French pharma giants were unable to come up with a vaccine, unlike biotech startups BioNTech and Moderna.
The aim was now for France to develop "at least 20" biotech drugs against cancers, as well as against emerging and chronic illnesses, including those associated with ageing, Macron said.
"We need to concentrate all our efforts on this objective," he said.
- A new revolution -
A French presidential official, who asked not to be named, said Macron had laid out the plan in the wake of the Covid crisis "which showed our vulnerability and our dependence on foreign countries in some key sectors but also the importance of innovation which can change everything."
French officials believe that France needs to act rapidly to close the gap and not surrender more ground to emerging powers, notably China.
French carmakers, which Macron said had suffered "cruelly" over the past 30 years, should redirect their efforts towards cleaner vehicles, with a target of putting two million electric or hybrid cars on the roads.
Macron said France would also invest 1 billion euros by 2030 in "disruptive innovation" to produce atomic power, notably by designing small-size nuclear reactors with improved nuclear waste management.
Disruptive innovation was also needed in agriculture, where two billion euros would be earmarked for new technologies, he said, especially in robotics.
France should start "a new revolution" in food production which should be "healthy, sustainable and traceable".
This would also rely on investment in "three revolutions" which he said were digital, robotics and gene technology.
Agriculture would become cleaner, phase out "some pesticides", enjoy greater productivity and develop "bio-solutions" that would be "more resilient and more solid", the president said.
Macron's plan also called for a boost in French deep sea exploration over the next decade.

Athens:
A powerful 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck off the Greek island of Crete Tuesday, the Athens Observatory said, with initial media reports suggesting no one was hurt.
The quake struck at 0924 GMT with an epicentre in the sea 405 kilometres (250 miles) southeast of Athens and 24 kilometres from the village of Zakros, the Observatory said in a statement.
Local media said it was felt on Crete and on the Dodecanese islands in the Aegean Sea.
"The epicentre is in the sea, far from inhabited places," Greek seismologist Gerassimos Papadopoulos told Skai radio.
It comes two weeks after a strong 5.8-magnitude quake killed one person, injured 10 and damaged buildings on Crete.
Greece is located on a number of fault lines, and is sporadically hit by earthquakes.

Storms Threat Forces Hong Kong To Shutter Twice In A Week

Hong Kong:
Hong Kong battened down on Tuesday evening for the second time in less than a week as an approaching tropical storm prompted forecasters to raise their alert level and trigger safety measures.
Tropical Cyclone Kompasu -- named after the Japanese pronunciation of "compass" -- is the second major storm to threaten the international business hub with torrential rain and high winds in five days.
As of 0900 GMT it was 480 kilometres to the south of Hong Kong packing winds of up to 110 kilometres per hour.
Hong Kong's Observatory issued a T8 -- its third highest storm warning -- at 5.22pm (0922 GMT), although skies were clear at the time.
The order stopped ferries and many bus routes from operating, although the city's subway system continued running.
Schools had already sent students home earlier in the day ahead of the order, with many offices following suit.
On Saturday forecasters also declared a T8 warning when the outskirts of another tropical storm, dubbed Lionrock, pounded the city with torrential downpours and high winds.
Although the epicentre of that storm remained hundreds of kilometres to the south of Hong Kong the T8 warning lasted for 22 hours, the longest typhoon signal since 1978, bringing some 460 mm of rain over two days.
Many residents were taken by surprise at the ferocity of Lionrock, which first began battering the city with heavy rain on Friday.
One woman was killed on Friday morning when some 30 stories of bamboo scaffolding surrounding one of Hong Kong's many towering housing blocks collapsed in the high winds and tumbled onto a winding hillside road below.
Hong Kong's Observatory came under fire for not issuing a T8 earlier, however forecasters said the winds had not picked up to the speed where such a warning was warranted.
The facility added that storms like Lionrock were becoming harder to predict and model for, partly because of climate change.
"It was a very special case," observatory director Cheng Cho-ming told reporters. "In terms of predicting such an extreme situation, it was very difficult."
Scientists have long warned that typhoons are becoming more powerful, and strengthening more rapidly, as the world becomes warmer because of man-made climate change.
Social media filled with images of empty supermarket shelves on Tuesday as Hong Kongers stocked up ahead of Kompasu's arrival after supplies were already disrupted by the week's previous storm.

Dave Chappelle vs the Mob

Accusations are flying that industry insiders are trying to hide the fact that the new ‘Fauci’ film has proven to be a complete flop after no ticket sales data appeared on major movie sites weeks after its release.
As part of the fawning establishment effort to deify Dr. Anthony Fauci as some kind of savior despite his intimate involvement with gain of function research at the Wuhan lab, National Geographic Documentary Films released the film two weeks ago.
However, despite the documentary being released in major cities such as New York, San Francisco, D.C., and New Orleans on September 10, the likes of RottenTomatoes.com, Boxoffice Pro, IMDB.com, and BoxOfficeMojo.com have published no information about ticket sales or earnings data.
After <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/frifauci-earnings-mystery-no-box-office-figures-released-gushing-documentary-about?utm_source=justthenews.com&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=external-news-aggregators">JustTheNews.com</a> reached out to National Geographic and Magnolia Pictures in an attempt to obtain the information, they were ignored.
“Shawn Robbins, chief analyst with Boxoffice Pro, says it’s “incredibly uncommon” for a major studio release to withhold its box office earnings,” according to the report. “Some did just that at the height of the pandemic, but most resumed their transparency as theaters opened nationwide earlier this year.”
Robbins suggested that the film’s distributors may not have the resources to provide accurate data, although given the pomp and ceremony that preceded its release, one would have expected them to be shouting from the rooftops if there were any indication it had been a big success.
The report speculates that the fact viewers had to show proof of vaccination before being allowed to see the film may have reduced sales, which would be somewhat ironic given the nature of the documentary.
As <a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fauci-flop-new-documentary-about-covid-czar-fails-disclose-box-office-results">Zero Hedge</a> points out, the film has been largely trashed by reviewers on Amazon, where it has a 2.2 rating out of 10, while around 80% of the reviews rate it as a 1 star.
The general tone of the reviews is that the documentary is little more than establishment propaganda.
Here’s one example;
Hilarious how this movie uses George Bush, and Susan Rice, to ascribe credibility for Dr. Fauci ?? Bush’s false “Weapons of Mass Destruction” Iraq War, and Susan Rice’s “Benghazi” debacle speak for themselves.
The movie does indeed humanize Fauci with stories about his family. He said they are being harassed because of his work. So what do they do? They put their images and information in the movie….??
Then along comes Bono’s interview. I’m still trying to figure out what a singer really has to do with any of this.
It has interesting interviews, but is a very one sided movie. It’s mostly politicos trying to dig out poor ole Dr. Fauci from the avalanche of his massive PR nightmare. He’s 80 years old, maybe just maybe it’s time to relax and retire.
