Debate: Abuse scandal: Prince Andrew renounces public duties

Thu, 11/21/2019 - 12:26
Prince Andrew has announced that he is stepping back from all his public duties as a member of the British royal family. Many observers consider his claim that he knew nothing of the predatory practices of his friend Jeffrey Epstein implausible. Epstein, who died in his prison cell in August, had been accused of abusing minors and forced prostitution. Is the public being too harsh on the prince?

SUVs, whose popularity with car buyers remains undiminished, cause higher emissions than other car types. In Switzerland, residents of the city of Lausanne are now gathering signatures in a petition aimed at banishing cars that weigh more than 1.5 tonnes from the city, and in Belgium the area around the capital city of Brussels wants to tax cars according to how much pollution they cause. Is this the end of the SUV era?
