Audi factory in Brussels described by the German carmaker as the «cradle» of its electric drive, around 200 picketing workers huddled around a bonfire in the morning drizzle. The firm is considering closing the plant, a move that analysts say is symptomatic of the troubles afflicting Europe's wider electric car industry, amid low demand and competition from China. Audi is a subsidiary of Volkswagen, which earlier this month made the bombshell announcement that it was considering the unprecedented step of closing production sites in Germany.

nuclear technology with Iran in return for ballistic missiles. These missiles, believed to be used in Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine, have prompted fears of a growing nuclear threat. Both leaders acknowledged the deepening military cooperation between Moscow and Tehran during their discussions, which also covered the war in Ukraine, the Middle East crisis, and competition with China.

Kamala Harris's debate night jewelry resembles its own Bluetooth devices, adding fuel to the conspiracy theory about her earrings. The company even offered to create orange ones for Donald Trump. Following Tuesday's presidential debate, rumors on social media have taken off like wildfire, claiming that Harris, 59, was given clip-on audio headphones disguised as pearl earrings for her confrontation with the former president, 78. The vice president was allegedly seen wearing a pair of Icebach Sound Solutions' Bluetooth earbuds, which the company is based in Germany. This claim prompted the company to comment on the now-viral story. They are unsure if Mrs. Harris wore any of our merchandise. The similarity is obvious, and even though their product was not created with presidential debates in mind, it is appropriate for them, Malte Iversen, managing director of Icebach, joked in a statement to tech publication Tom's Guide.

However, choosing a color can be difficult because orange doesn't go well with many other hues.

It finished the Spanish league in third place, just behind Barcelona in second, and classified for the Champions League for the first time. Those embarrassing losses to a fellow Catalan club played a part in the downfall of Xavi Her nández as Barcelona's coach.
