If the government's intent is to cut local emissions this could make sense.
They are literally not the same. Bribing is when you try to give something in exchange for voting/law making etc. Lobbying is convincing why prioritising is important. These can be selfish reasons, like in this case. However, lobbying may also be done for noble causes by a wide range of NGOs. Prohibiting lobbying is limiting the opportunity for all kinds of actors to argue their cause.
NSC 'niet nog eens met PVV in zee' (bron: NOS)
Daar hoeven ze geen statement over te maken denk ik hahah
Als het lijkt te werken zal de VVD ook wel haar kans pakken om weer wat statistieken te verzinnen, en dan krijgen we weer zo’n olifanten verkiezing om wat eigenlijk muggen zijn.
Isn’t Fox News sort of the Onion, though?
While at the same time cutting foreign aid…

'En hyggelig lunsj'
(feddit.nl)
Ble invitert på en hyggelig lunsj i vårværet i dag.
Der var tidligere president Barack Obama, på besøk hos Hans Majestet Kongen og kronprinsesse Mette-Marit.
Vi snakket blant annet om den urolige situasjonen i verden, krigen i Ukraina, og mulighetene og utfordringene med bruk av kunstig intelligens.
En hyggelig og god samtale.

Just another day in the life of Støre.
I think shutting down all electricity is a bit overkill tbh
Tap for spoiler
I hope we can learn from it and build upon it in future elections around Europe/the world.
They are talking about sending soldiers (together with other willing states, like the UK) when a ceasefire has been established. A ceasefire has not been agreed on (yet).
A state can’t just become an EU member. Ukraine is a member candidate and now has to reach certain goals to make sure they have proper democratic institutions, reduced levels of fraud and similar objectives. Most complicated is to comply with not having a conflict on its territory.
Non-the-less, France has in no possible way the power to allow Ukraine to the EU, all member states have to agree to this.
On the actual article, one could see it as late, France might have good reasons for it, who knows. However, France recognising the Palestinian State would be considerable, because it is a state with quite an influence and statute. It might boost other states that say they support a two state solution to also recognise Palestine.
What I hope afterwards is that they also do more to make Israel abide by int’l law and negotiate on a ceasefire and for territorial integrity of the Palestinian Territories on the West Bank and Gaza. I do have my doubts though, because they seem to do little about Israeli incursions into Lebanon and Syria
They have only stated the intention, not an actual application for withdrawal. Also it has to go through parliament first, which probably is just a formality.
Article 127 of the Statute also states that ‘[t]he withdrawal shall take effect one year after the date of receipt of the notification, unless the notification specifies a later date.’
Apart from all the other points made here, I always wonder why uniforms have to look like there has been no development in clothing/fashion for the last 100+ years? Why do they have to look like they are extras on a Harry Potter filmset?
Whataboutism doesn't justify anything. There are quite a few nuances. For example that Android and iOS have way higher adoption numbers than game consoles, and that these OSes play a crucial role in people's everyday lives. In addition, do these platforms have a duopoly, so perfect competition doesn't exist on that level, and like elboomy states, does Apple have a monopoly on its own platform. Apple forcing a piece of the cake is thus merely a power play which is enabled by the imperfect market of smartphone OSes and their app stores.

The cynic in me directly thought of how this could be a way for Apple to force the Mac App Store on these machines. Granted it is based on a fear, not grounded on something.
