According to the Department for Transport, the £60m plan could see some passengers save more than £3 per bus ticket. The department said the average fare for a three-mile journey is around £2.80, meaning passengers will now save 30 per cent on the price every time they travel. Mr Shapps said: “Buses are by far the most used form of public transport, so ensuring that almost all bus journeys do not cost more than £2 will help passengers in the winter months and provide immediate help to thousands of households in the whole country....

In einer der Deutschen Presse-Agentur vorliegenden gemeinsamen Erklärung forderten die G7-Staaten zudem alle Länder auf, die russisches Öl importieren, sich dieser Maßnahme anzuschließen. „Wir streben eine breite Koalition an, um die Effizienz zu maximieren“, heißt es in dem Papier. Alle aktuellen Entwicklungen im Ukrainekrieg auf einen Blick > Im Kern geht es darum, Russland zu zwingen, Öl künftig zu einem deutlich niedrigeren Preis an Großabnehmer wie Indien zu verkaufen. Die Hoffnung ist, dass dies die globalen Ölmärkte entspannen und die Auswirkungen des Krieges in der Ukraine auf die Energiepreise abmildern wird....

The former president returned to the campaign trail in Pennsylvania on Saturday – his first rally since the FBI raided his Mar-a-Lago estate last month. He told his supporters: “We’re leading Biden and everybody else, including the Republicans, by record numbers in the polls. So I might have to do it again. You’ll be… stay tuned.

“When we look closely at what’s happening at the plant, it’s not going to be fewer workers,” Keith Cooley, former head of the Michigan Department of Labor, told CNBC. “There will be different people building the cars.” Researchers believe that modern factory jobs will require more training and could be less available than in the past. They estimate that electric vehicles could require 30% less labor to manufacture compared to conventional cars....

The 23-year-old Uruguay striker is available for the Merseyside derby after serving a three-match ban. Nunez was sent off on his home debut last month for headbutting Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen. “It will never happen again? I don’t know, but I’m sure nothing will happen in the next game,” Klopp said....

From the Montreal police to the burgled art museum, from Canadian Heritage to the Quebec Department of Culture, mum is the word in the Skylight Capper. It was the early morning hours of September 4, 1972, when three men fell from a skylight down a nylon rope on the second floor of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. They had chosen the one skylight for which the alarm had not been set, and once inside, the armed trio quickly overpowered the few overnight museum guards....

“On Sunday morning, the death penalty was carried out on two people convicted of collaboration with the occupation (Israel) and three others in criminal cases,” Hamas, which rules Gaza, said in a statement.

Hamas’ interior ministry gave the initials and birth years of the five executed Palestinians, but did not give their full names. The two executed for “collaboration” with Israel were two men born in 1978 and 1968....

Since then, MOXIE has been producing oxygen from thin Martian air. And on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, the team behind this machine confirmed that MOXIE works so well that its oxygen production is comparable to the production rate of an average Earth tree. By the end of 2021, extensive data showed that MOXIE successfully achieved its target oxygen yield of six grams per hour during seven separate experimental trials, as well as in a variety of atmospheric conditions....

On Friday, Dr. Jazz Atwal announced that certain Manitobans — including anyone 65 and older and Indigenous people 18 and older — will be among the first in the province to be eligible for an updated vaccine from Moderna that targets both the original strain of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 and the Omicron variant. When asked to describe the current spread of COVID-19 in the community, Atwal said the focus should be on the serious effects of the disease, not the number of active infections....

Even as we travel by boat through the heavily-hit Dadu district in Sindh Province, I struggle to comprehend what lies beneath the water. But we soon hear the horrendous stories of a community drowning in loss. Crops, homes, livelihoods – all submerged. The Kacha area is normally dry. In some places it’s now 20 feet deep. I can just make out the tiny slither of the roof of a school poking above the surface....
