US envoy says truce between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon is 'within our grasp'<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Separately on Wednesday, the Senate rejected an attempt by Bernie Sanders to block sales of offensive weapons to Israel for its war in Gaza over mounting civilian deaths.<\/p>\n<p>The Vermont lawmaker and a small group of Democrats sought to put legislation up for a Senate vote that would block the sale of some tank and mortar rounds and smart-bomb kits to Israel. The first attempt to block the sales was rejected overwhelmingly, and two more were expected to go down to defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Sanders, in making the case for stopping the sales, said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u2019s government \u201chas not simply waged war against Hamas. It has waged an all-out war against the Palestinian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel\u2019s blistering war of retaliation in the Gaza Strip has killed nearly 44,000 Palestinians, according to local health authorities. Some 1,200 people in Israel were killed in the 7 October attack, mostly civilians, and another 250 were abducted. Around 100 hostages remain inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Ceasefire deal in Lebanon<\/strong><\/h2><p>Meanwhile in Lebanon, a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah was showing signs of progress. However, Israel\u2019s defence minister says his country wants the right to act militarily against Hezbollah in any agreement to end the fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Lebanon\u2019s government is likely to view any such demand as an infringement on its sovereignty, complicating efforts to end more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah that erupted into all-out war in September.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1732169914,"updatedAt":1732187738,"publishedAt":1732178515,"firstPublishedAt":1732178515,"lastPublishedAt":1732178515,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/86\/48\/78\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_740ba1fd-da07-55ea-978f-ab4ca50c6520-8864878.jpg","altText":"A general view shows a Security Council meeting at United Nations headquarters, Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2024.

Donald Trump has nominated three big names to join his upcoming administration: former Worst Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) CEO Linda McMahon to serve as secretary of education, television personality and surgeon Dr Mehmet Oz to run Medicare and Medicaid, and Wall Street executive Howard Lutnick to be secretary of commerce.\n\nHere's what you should know about the three new additions to the Trump roster.\n\nLinda McMahon\n\nMcMahon stepped down as WWE CEO to enter politics in 2009. She then ran for a US Senate seat in Connecticut in 2010 and 2012, but lost twice. In 2016, she donated $6 million (\u20ac5.67 million) to Trump's presidential campaign after he secured the Republican nomination.\n\nOnce elected, Trump chose McMahon to lead the Small Business Administration. She left the administration in April 2019 but continued to support Trump as chair of America First Action, a Super PAC that backed his reelection campaign in 2020.\n\nAfter Trump lost to current US President Joe Biden, McMahon helped found the America First Policy Institute, a right-wing operation that continued to push Trump's agenda during the Biden administration while preparing a policy platform for a potential second Trump presidency.\n\nShould her nomination be approved, McMahon will be in charge of bringing schools and universities in the US in line with Trump and his allies' radical vision for the future of education.\n\nTrump has been vocal about his goal to get rid of \"left-wing indoctrination\", vowing to cut federal funding for \u201cany school pushing Critical Race Theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children\u201d.\n\nThe former and future president also wants to forbid lessons on gender identity and structural racism, abolish diversity and inclusion offices, and has said he wants transgender athletes excluded from women's sports. \n\nBut McMahon\u2019s biggest task may be to oversee the elimination of the agency she has been nominated to oversee.\n\nTrump has promised to close the Education Department and entirely remove schools and universities from direct federal oversight \u2014 a longtime goal for the radical right of the Republican Party.\n\nIn a statement announcing McMahon's nomination on his bespoke social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote that \"Linda will fight tirelessly to expand 'choice' to every State in America, and empower parents to make the best Education decisions for their families.\"\n\n\"We will send education BACK TO THE STATES, and Linda will spearhead that effort.\" \n\nDr Mehmet Oz\n\nTrump's choice to lead the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid is surgeon-turned-celebrity-doctor Mehmet Oz, who rose to fame via his appearances on Oprah Winfrey's show as a health expert.\n\nHis popularity only grew after he launched his own talk show, which aired for 13 seasons starting in 2009. Oz became a household name and won a reputation as a trusted and capable health expert.\n\nBut his show often blurred the line between medical advice and advertising, and in recent years, he has been accused of making misleading claims on his show. At a Senate hearing in 2014, Oz was directly accused by senators of knowingly peddling pseudoscience, such as the unsubstantiated claim that green coffee extract could be a \"magic weight loss-cure for every body type\".\n\nIf approved by the Senate, Oz would be responsible for Medicaid, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act \u2014 federal healthcare programs on which more than half of the country rely on. \n\nHowever, Oz has never held a policy job of any kind. His political experience mostly extends to a failed US Senate campaign in Pennsylvania in the 2022 midterm elections. He was endorsed by Trump in the Republican primary, but performed badly during the campaign and lost the race to Democrat John Fetterman. \n\nIn a statement on Truth Social, Trump said \"America is facing a Healthcare Crisis, and there may be no physician more qualified and capable than Dr Oz to Make America Healthy Again\".\n\nBut like many of Trump's choices so far, Oz has been greeted with condemnation from Senate Democrats. \n\nIn a post on social media platform X, the Senate's president pro tempore, Patty Murray, wrote that Oz \"has zero qualifications, pushes alarming pseudoscience, & holds extreme anti-abortion views\". She added that the CMS is \"a critical agency\" and insisted \"we need serious leaders to protect Americans' health care and bring down costs \u2014 not TV hosts whose main qualification is their loyalty to Trump\".\n\nDuring his Senate campaign, Oz promised to expand Medicare Advantage, the government\u2019s private version of the Medicare program, which has developed a growing problem with fraud via overbilling. \n\nHoward Lutnick\n\nHoward Lutnick, head of brokerage and investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald and cryptocurrency enthusiast, is Trump's nominee for secretary of commerce.\n\nAlong with McMahon, he has also helped lead Trump's transition team, where he oversees personnel for a potential second Trump term.\n\nAn ardent backer of Israel in its campaign against Hamas and Hezbollah, Lutnick has said his decision to become more active in Trump's campaign was made after Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October.\n\nLutnick was previously considered to head the US Treasury, but was deployed to the Department of Commerce instead amid fears that an overly disruptive Treasury nominee could have immediate negative consequences on the stock market. \n\nIf confirmed, Lutnick will oversee a cabinet department that is in charge of funding new computer chip factories, imposing trade restrictions, releasing economic data and monitoring the weather.\n\nThe commerce job would also put the billionaire and staunch cryptocurrency advocate in charge of Trump's plans to raise and enforce tariffs, the keystone of the former president's economic platform.\n\nOn the campaign trail, Trump proposed a 60% tariff on goods from China and a tariff of up to 20% on everything else the US imports. He portrayed the taxes as both a negotiating tool to hammer out better trade terms and as a way to generate revenue to fund tax cuts elsewhere, but his plans have been widely criticised as potentially catastrophic for the US economy, and in particular for consumers already struggling with high prices.\n\nLutnick is an advocate for imposing wide-ranging tariffs, and gave full-throated support for Trump's plans in a CNBC interview in September.\n\n\u201cTariffs are an amazing tool for the president to use,\" he said. \"We need to protect the American worker.\"\n\n","htmlText":"<p>President-elect Donald Trump has nominated three big names to join his upcoming administration: former Worst Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) CEO Linda McMahon to serve as secretary of education, television personality and surgeon Dr Mehmet Oz to run Medicare and Medicaid, and Wall Street executive Howard Lutnick to be secretary of commerce.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what you should know about the three new additions to the Trump roster.<\/p>\n<h2>Linda McMahon<\/h2><p>McMahon stepped down as WWE CEO to enter politics in 2009.

claim on social media network Threads alleges that Mark Rutte, secretary-general of NATO, has threatened to expel the US from the alliance if president-elect Donald Trump \"surrenders Ukraine to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin\".\n\nThe fear that a Trump victory in November's US presidential election could lead to reduced support for Ukraine \u2014 or even surrender to the Russian invasion \u2014 has long been a concern for NATO and the wider European continent.\n\nThroughout his presidential campaign and even before, Trump was a vocal critic of the support the US was sending to Kyiv and consistently claimed he could quickly end the war once in office, which many have interpreted as him pressuring Ukraine to give up the territory that Russia has occupied in exchange for peace. \n\nNevertheless, Trump is not yet in power so the current situation has not changed, and there's no evidence that Rutte has said anything about expelling the US from NATO, even if Trump does decide to reduce support.\n\nNATO does not have a specific mechanism to suspend or expel a member. Countries can voluntarily leave by invoking Article 13 of the treaty.\n\nIf anything, all of Rutte's public statements about Trump since the US presidential election have referred to them working closely together.\n\nImmediately following the election result, which saw Trump triumph over Kamala Harris to win a second term in office, Rutte took to X to say that he had congratulated the incoming president on his victory. \n\n\"His leadership will again be key to keeping our Alliance strong,\" the former Dutch prime minister said, adding he looked forward to working with him again.\n\nA day later, he posted again on X saying more or less the same, noting that this time he'd personally congratulated Trump.\n\nNATO's website also contains a longer official statement from Rutte.\n\nIn the statement, he reminds Trump that \"through NATO, the US has 31 friends and allies who help to advance US interests, multiply American power and keep Americans safe\".\n\n\"President-elect Trump demonstrated strong US leadership throughout his first term in office \u2014 a term that turned the tide on European defence spending, improved transatlantic burden sharing, and strengthened Alliance capabilities,\" Rutte said.\n\nHe also said that Trump will see a \"stronger, larger, more united alliance\" when he takes office again on 20 January, noting that two-thirds of NATO now spend at least 2% of their GDP on defence and that defence spending and production are on an upward trajectory across the alliance.\n\nTrump repeatedly blasted NATO allies last time he was president for not meeting the 2% defence spending target and even suggested raising it to 4%.\n\nAs of June this year, out of the 32 NATO members, Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Canada, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Spain were the countries not meeting the 2% commitment, according to the most recent figures.\n\nPoland, Estonia and the US were the biggest spenders, sitting at 4.12%, 3.43% and 3.38% respectively.\n\nAt a European Political Community (EPC) summit in Budapest earlier in November, Rutte actually credited Trump for NATO's move towards higher defence spending.\n\n\"When he was president he was the one in NATO who stimulated us to move over the 2% and now also thanks to him, in NATO, if you take out the numbers of the US for a moment, is above the 2% and I think very much that is his doing, his success, and we need to do more,\" Rutte told journalists.\n\nRussian victory threatens US as much as Europe\n\nFor good measure, NATO itself has denied that Rutte ever threatened to expel the US. A spokesperson told EuroVerify that it was a \"bogus\" claim.\n\nNevertheless, Rutte and other NATO leaders seem keen to stress to Trump that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a danger to the US too, following the president-elect's comments during the campaign that he would withdraw support for Kyiv.\n\nIn response to questions from journalists at the EPC summit, Rutte said that any Russian success in Ukraine would not just threaten Europe, but the US too.\n\n\"Collectively, we have to work not only the threat of Russia, but also the fact that these four countries [China, Iran, North Korea and Russia] work together and that now, very soon, we will see that also the US itself is under threat from these newest technological developments, thanks to Russia giving its latest insights and technology to the North Koreans,\" he said.\n\nWhat has Trump previously said about NATO, Russia and Ukraine?\n\nThe worry about Trump's lack of commitment to Ukraine stems from his previous incendiary comments about Kyiv and NATO, in addition to his apparent admiration for Putin.\n\nHe has mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's supposed ability to secure US funds, called NATO \"obsolete\" and has suggested he would not help if Russia tried to invade other NATO allies.\n\n\"Every time Zelenskyy comes to the United States he walks away with $100 billion, I think he's the greatest salesman on Earth,\" Trump said during a campaign event in the state of Georgia. \n\nIn reality, the US has given around $60 billion (\u20ac57 billion) in military assistance to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022.\n\nAt another event at the beginning of the year, the president-elect said that he told \"one of the presidents of a big [NATO] country\" last time he was in office that he would not protect them if they weren't paying their way and Russia attacked.\n\n\"In fact, I would encourage them [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want,\" Trump said. \"You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.\"\n\nIn February 2022, Trump praised Putin as a \"genius\" and \"savvy\" for the way he launched the invasion.\n\nHowever, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump rang Putin shortly after his reelection to warn him against escalating the war. The Kremlin denies that this call took place.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>A claim on social media network Threads alleges that Mark Rutte, secretary-general of NATO, has threatened to expel the US from the alliance if president-elect Donald Trump \"surrenders Ukraine to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin\".<\/p>\n<p>The fear that a Trump victory in November's US presidential election could lead to reduced support for Ukraine \u2014 or even surrender to the Russian invasion \u2014 has long been a concern for NATO and the wider European continent.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his presidential campaign and even before, Trump was a vocal critic of the support the US was sending to Kyiv and consistently claimed he could quickly end the war once in office, which many have interpreted as him pressuring Ukraine to give up the territory that Russia has occupied in exchange for peace. <\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Trump is not yet in power so the current situation has not changed, and there's no evidence that Rutte has said anything about expelling the US from NATO, even if Trump does decide to reduce support.<\/p>\n<p>NATO does not have a specific mechanism to suspend or expel a member.

personally congratulated Trump.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-tweet widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio

<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>NATO's website also contains a longer official statement from Rutte.<\/p>\n<p>In the statement, he reminds Trump that \"through NATO, the US has 31 friends and allies who help to advance US interests, multiply American power and keep Americans safe\".<\/p>\n<p>\"President-elect Trump demonstrated strong US leadership throughout his first term in office \u2014 a term that turned the tide on European defence spending, improved transatlantic burden sharing, and strengthened Alliance capabilities,\" Rutte said.<\/p>\n<p>He also said that Trump will see a \"stronger, larger, more united alliance\" when he takes office again on 20 January, noting that two-thirds of NATO now spend at least 2% of their GDP on defence and that defence spending and production are on an upward trajectory across the alliance.<\/p>\n<p>Trump repeatedly blasted NATO allies last time he was president for not meeting the 2% defence spending target and even suggested raising it to 4%.<\/p>\n<p>As of June this year, out of the 32 NATO members, Croatia, Portugal, Italy, Canada, Belgium, Luxembourg, Slovenia and Spain were the countries not meeting the 2% commitment, according to the most recent figures.<\/p>\n<p>Poland, Estonia and the US were the biggest spenders, sitting at 4.12%, 3.43% and 3.38% respectively.<\/p>\n<p>At a European Political Community (EPC) summit in Budapest earlier in November, Rutte actually credited Trump for NATO's move towards higher defence spending.<\/p>\n<p>\"When he was president he was the one in NATO who stimulated us to move over the 2% and now also thanks to him, in NATO, if you take out the numbers of the US for a moment, is above the 2% and I think very much that is his doing, his success, and we need to do more,\" Rutte told journalists.<\/p>\n<h2>Russian victory threatens US as much as Europe<\/h2><p>For good measure, NATO itself has denied that Rutte ever threatened to expel the US. A spokesperson told EuroVerify that it was a \"bogus\" claim.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Rutte and other NATO leaders seem keen to stress to Trump that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is a danger to the US too, following the president-elect's comments during the campaign that he would withdraw support for Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>In response to questions from journalists at the EPC summit, Rutte said that any Russian success in Ukraine would not just threaten Europe, but the US too.<\/p>\n<p>\"Collectively, we have to work not only the threat of Russia, but also the fact that these four countries [China, Iran, North Korea and Russia] work together and that now, very soon, we will see that also the US itself is under threat from these newest technological developments, thanks to Russia giving its latest insights and technology to the North Koreans,\" he said.<\/p>\n<h2>What has Trump previously said about NATO, Russia and Ukraine?<\/h2><p>The worry about Trump's lack of commitment to Ukraine stems from his previous incendiary comments about Kyiv and NATO, in addition to his apparent admiration for Putin.<\/p>\n<p>He has mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's supposed ability to secure US funds, called NATO \"obsolete\" and has suggested he would not help if Russia tried to invade other NATO allies.<\/p>\n<p>\"Every time Zelenskyy comes to the United States he walks away with $100 billion, I think he's the greatest salesman on Earth,\" Trump said during a campaign event in the state of Georgia. <\/p>\n<p>In reality, the US has given around $60 billion (\u20ac57 billion) in military assistance to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>At another event at the beginning of the year, the president-elect said that he told \"one of the presidents of a big [NATO] country\" last time he was in office that he would not protect them if they weren't paying their way and Russia attacked.<\/p>\n<p>\"In fact, I would encourage them [Russia] to do whatever the hell they want,\" Trump said. \"You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.\"<\/p>\n<p>In February 2022, Trump praised Putin as a \"genius\" and \"savvy\" for the way he launched the invasion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump rang Putin shortly after his reelection to warn him against escalating the war. The Kremlin denies that this call took place.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1731681537,"updatedAt":1732115172,"publishedAt":1732085119,"firstPublishedAt":1732085119,"lastPublishedAt":1732114787,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/44\/28\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_bbfd5f8f-b43b-5de7-b513-c54cb18936a5-8854428.jpg","altText":"NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte delivers a statement prior to a meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Nov. 13, 2024","caption":"NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte delivers a statement prior to a meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Nov. 13, 2024","captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Nicolas Tucat\/Copyright 2024 The AP.

In the wake of a recent tech sector retreat, Nvidia's results will play a crucial role in shaping market sentiment for the remainder of the year. As the primary beneficiary of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, Nvidia's performance is also critical to gauging the broader trajectory of the industry.\n\nNvidia has repeatedly surpassed Apple as the world's most valuable company by market capitalisation since June. As of Monday's close, Nvidia's market capitalisation stood at $3.43tn (\u20ac3.24tn), slightly trailing Apple's $3.45tn. \n\nDespite a 184% year-to-date surge in its share price, Nvidia experienced a selloff last week amid the unwinding of the \"Trump Trade\". Further pressure arose from reports by The Information highlighting overheating issues with Nvidia's Blackwell processors when installed in high-capacity server racks. These concerns contributed to a further decline in Nvidia's share price on Monday.\n\nNevertheless, Nvidia's Data Centre segment, which dominates the global AI chip supply, remains the focal point of its earnings report. Investors will pay close attention to the shipment of Blackwell chips and the company's guidance for the current quarter and the full fiscal year.\n\nRecord Data Centre Growth Anticipated\n\nNvidia achieved record Data Centre revenue in Q2, and analysts expect this segment to reach another milestone in Q3, with sales projected to hit $29.53bn (\u20ac27.87bn). This would represent a 200% increase compared with the same period last year. \n\nOverall revenue is forecast at $33.28bn (\u20ac31.41 billion), marking an 84% year-on-year rise. These expectations align closely with Nvidia\u2019s guidance of $32.5 billion (\u20ac29.2 billion), plus or minus 2%. Meanwhile, earnings per share are expected to reach $0.74 (\u20ac0.70), an 89% increase compared to the year-ago quarter.\n\nThe company continues to supply advanced AI chips to major tech firms, including Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms. These technology giants have been investing heavily in their AI infrastructure. \n\n\"Nvidia's data centre revenue is seeing huge growth on the back of the AI spending frenzy from big tech,\" eToro market analyst Josh Gilbert commented in a note to clients. He added that sales will remain robust as these companies race to monetise their AI investments.\n\nHowever, Nvidia's gross margin slipped to 75.1% in the second quarter, down from 78.4% in the first quarter, due to rising operating expenses. Analysts expect this trend to continue, with margins likely narrowing to around 74.4% as the company anticipates a further increase in operating expenses, exceeding $3bn (\u20ac2.8bn) for the third quarter.\n\nBlackwell Shipments at the Forefront\n\nNvidia's Blackwell AI chips, regarded as a significant growth driver for its data centre sales, have become a central focus. These chips are expected to reduce the operating costs and energy consumption of large language model (LLM) inference by up to 25 times compared to previous offerings.\n\nNvidia CEO Jensen Huang has highlighted the intense demand for Blackwell chips, describing it as \"insane\". He expects these chips to generate billions in sales during the December quarter, with orders already booked for the next 12 months. Despite the enthusiasm, concerns over overheating issues related to Blackwell processors have raised questions. The company is likely to address these concerns in its earnings report.\n\nProduction of Blackwell chips, initially planned for the September quarter, was delayed to the December quarter due to unspecified design flaws. While Nvidia has not clarified the nature of these issues, the delay has sparked speculation about the potential impact on its data centre revenue and its ability to sustain growth momentum.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Nvidia is set to announce its fiscal Q3 earnings for 2025 after US markets close on Wednesday.

Elon Musk, a staunch supporter of Trump during his campaign, has tied Tesla's future to its Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology and Robotaxi business.\n\nTesla's market capitalisation has surged past $1tn (\u20ac0.94tn) since Trump's election victory, with shares soaring 37% since election day and rallying 29% year-to-date. Before the election, Tesla had been the weakest performer among the \"Magnificent Seven\" US tech giants.\n\nFrom EVs to AVs\n\nElon Musk, who became Tesla's CEO in 2008, is widely credited with kickstarting the electric vehicle revolution. While Tesla experienced meteoric growth over the past decade, recent years have seen weakened global demand and intense competition from Chinese rivals, prompting the company to seek new avenues for growth.\n\nAt the \"We, Robot\" event in October, Musk unveiled Tesla's Robotaxi, an autonomous Cybercab service with no steering wheels or pedals. The model, entirely reliant on cameras and artificial intelligence for navigation, is expected to cost less than \u20ac27,000 and operate with an average cost of \u20ac0.18 per mile. Musk outlined plans to launch the service in Texas and California, with expansion to other states by 2025, contingent on regulatory approval. Mass production of the Cybercab could begin as early as 2026.\n\nRegulatory Challenges\n\nDespite Musk's ambitious vision, Tesla's FSD system has faced scrutiny from regulators. In the United States, each car manufacturer can deploy up to 2,500 self-driving vehicles per year under exemptions granted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).\n\nLast month, the NHTSA launched a probe into Tesla following a fatal incident involving a pedestrian and a driver using Tesla's FSD system, which still requires driver monitoring. Tesla's fully autonomous models, which lack steering wheels and pedals, are expected to encounter significant regulatory hurdles.\n\nUnder Trump's administration, the Transportation Department may introduce relaxed rules for autonomous vehicles, potentially removing obstacles for Tesla's innovative technology. However, bipartisan approval in Congress will be necessary to pass any new framework, suggesting that regulatory challenges could persist in the near term. Clearing these hurdles would mark a significant milestone for Tesla, facilitating its transition from electric vehicles (EVs) to autonomous vehicles (AVs).\n\nThe EU Framework for Self-Driving Cars\n\nA regulatory breakthrough in the US could prompt other regions to accelerate their adoption of autonomous driving regulations. In the European Union, Germany has taken a leadership role by developing level 3 and level 4 frameworks for autonomous driving. The EU has aligned its approach with Germany's, implementing similar regulatory standards to govern these advanced technologies.\n\nLevel 3 vehicles, which require a safety driver, are already permitted on public roads, while level 4 vehicles, allowing remote control with minimal human intervention, are expected by 2025. Musk plans to introduce Tesla's FSD cars with assistance features in Europe and China in early 2025, aligning with the EU's regulatory timeline.\n\nProgress in China\n\nChina, a key market for Tesla, has been rapidly advancing its regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles. According to S&P Global, the Chinese government has selected 20 cities to participate in a pilot programme for smart-connected vehicles, with projections of approximately 250,000 level 4 autonomous vehicles being sold for mobility services by 2034.\n\nThe regulatory advancements in the US, EU, and China signify growing global momentum towards autonomous driving. If Tesla successfully navigates these frameworks, its ambitious Robotaxi programme could redefine the company's growth trajectory and reshape the global transportation industry.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Tesla shares climbed more than 5% on Monday following a Bloomberg\u00a0report that President-elect Donald Trump's transition team plans to prioritise establishing a new federal framework for self-driving car regulation at the Transportation Department.<\/p>\n<p>The proposed rules could significantly benefit Tesla, whose ambitions for autonomous ride-hailing services represent a critical next step in the company's growth strategy.

The EU has aligned its approach with Germany's, implementing similar regulatory standards to govern these advanced technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Level 3 vehicles, which require a safety driver, are already permitted on public roads, while level 4 vehicles, allowing remote control with minimal human intervention, are expected by 2025. Musk plans to introduce Tesla's FSD cars with assistance features in Europe and China in early 2025, aligning with the EU's regulatory timeline.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Progress in China<\/strong><\/h2><p>China, a key market for Tesla, has been rapidly advancing its regulatory framework for autonomous vehicles. According to S&amp;P Global, the Chinese government has selected 20 cities to participate in a pilot programme for smart-connected vehicles, with projections of approximately 250,000 level 4 autonomous vehicles being sold for mobility services by 2034.<\/p>\n<p>The regulatory advancements in the US, EU, and China signify growing global momentum towards autonomous driving. If Tesla successfully navigates these frameworks, its ambitious Robotaxi programme could redefine the company's growth trajectory and reshape the global transportation industry.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1732000178,"updatedAt":1732012925,"publishedAt":1732001058,"firstPublishedAt":1732001058,"lastPublishedAt":1732001058,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/08\/85\/99\/78\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_e1d841b4-6698-5d2c-b4dd-faac664d335d-8859978.jpg","altText":"A Tesla Cybertruck moves along the beach in Boca Chica, Texas","caption":"A Tesla Cybertruck moves along the beach in Boca Chica, Texas","captionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"Eric Gay\/Copyright 2024 The AP.

Donald Trump has selected Chris Wright, a campaign donor and fossil fuel executive, to serve as energy secretary in his upcoming, second administration.\n\nCEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking, a key pillar of Trump\u2019s quest to achieve US \u201cenergy dominance\u201d in the global market.\n\nWright has been one of the industry\u2019s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change and could give fossil fuels a boost, including quick action to end a year-long pause on natural gas export approvals by the Biden administration.\n\nFrequently criticising what he calls a \u201ctop-down\u201d approach to climate by liberal and left-wing groups, Wright has argued that the climate movement around the world is \u201ccollapsing under its own weight\u201d.\u00a0\n\nHe has never served in government but has written that more fossil fuel production is needed around the globe to lift people out of poverty.\n\nConservatives say Chris Wright will bring \u2018important perspective\u2019\n\nConsideration of Wright to head the administration's energy department won support from influential conservatives, including oil and gas tycoon Harold Hamm.\n\nHamm, executive chairman of Oklahoma-based Continental Resources, a major shale oil company, is a longtime Trump supporter and adviser who played a key role on energy issues in Trump\u2019s first term.\u00a0\n\nHamm helped organise an event at Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort in April where Trump reportedly asked industry leaders and lobbyists to donate $1 billion (\u20ac950 million) to Trump\u2019s campaign, with the expectation that Trump would curtail environmental regulations if reelected.\n\nMike Sommers, president of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry's top lobbying group, said Wright\u2019s experience in the energy sector \u201cgives him an important perspective that will inform his leadership\" of the Energy Department.\n\nRepublican Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, who is expected to become chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said Trump promised bold choices for his Cabinet, and Wright\u2019s nomination delivers.\n\n\u201cHe\u2019s an energy innovator who laid the foundation for America\u2019s fracking boom. After four years of America's last energy policy, our country is desperate for a secretary who understands how important American energy is to our economy and our national security,\u2033 Barrasso said.\n\nWho is energy secretary Chris Wright?\n\nEnvironmental campaigners say the appointment is bad news for the push for green energy in the US.\u00a0\n\nJackie Wong, senior vice president for climate and energy at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, called Wright \u201ca champion of dirty fossil fuels\" and said his nomination to lead the Energy Department was \u201ca disastrous mistake\u201d.\n\nIn 1992, Wright founded Pinnacle Technologies, which helped launch commercial shale gas production through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. Fracking has long been criticised for its impact on the environment by poisoning groundwater, damaging natural landscapes and generating noise pollution.\u00a0\n\nHe later served as chairman of Stroud Energy, an early shale gas producer, before founding Liberty Resources in 2010.\n\n\u201cThe Energy Department should be doing all it can to develop and expand the energy sources of the 21st century, not trying to promote the dirty fuels of the last century,\" Wong added.\u00a0\n\n\u201cGiven the devastating impacts of climate-fueled disasters, DOE\u2019s core mission of researching and promoting cleaner energy solutions is more important now than ever.\"\n\nUS seeks \u2018energy dominance\u2019 around the world\n\nThe Energy Department is responsible for advancing energy, environmental and nuclear security of the US.\u00a0\n\nThe agency is in charge of maintaining the country\u2019s nuclear weapons, oversees 17 national research laboratories and approves natural gas exports, as well as ensuring environmental cleanup of the nation\u2019s nuclear weapons complex.\u00a0\n\nIt also promotes scientific and technological research.\n\nIf confirmed, Wright will join North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, Trump's choice to be interior secretary, as a key player on energy policy in a second Trump term.\u00a0\n\nWright will be a member of a new National Energy Council that Burgum will chair. The new panel will seek to establish US \u201cenergy dominance\u201d around the world, Trump said.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>President-elect Donald Trump has selected Chris Wright, a campaign donor and fossil fuel executive, to serve as energy secretary in his upcoming, second administration.<\/p>\n<p>CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking, a key pillar of Trump\u2019s quest to achieve US \u201cenergy dominance\u201d in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>Wright has been one of the industry\u2019s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change and could give fossil fuels a boost, including quick action to end a year-long pause on natural gas export approvals by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Frequently criticising what he calls a \u201ctop-down\u201d approach to climate by liberal and left-wing groups, Wright has argued that the climate movement around the world is \u201ccollapsing under its own weight\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He has never served in government but has written that more fossil fuel production is needed around the globe to lift people out of poverty.<\/p>\n<h2>Conservatives say Chris Wright will bring \u2018important perspective\u2019<\/h2><p>Consideration of Wright to head the administration's energy department won support from influential conservatives, including oil and <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2024//11//15//europes-plans-to-continue-relying-on-gas-power-undermine-climate-commitments-report-reveal/">gas tycoon Harold Hamm.<\/p>\n<p>Hamm, executive chairman of Oklahoma-based Continental Resources, a major shale oil company, is a longtime Trump supporter and adviser who played a key role on <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2024//10//09//renewables-revolution-the-good-and-the-bad-news-from-the-ieas-latest-wind-and-solar-stockt/">energy issues in Trump\u2019s first term.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hamm helped organise an event at Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort in April where Trump reportedly asked industry leaders and lobbyists to donate $1 billion (\u20ac950 million) to Trump\u2019s campaign, with the expectation that Trump would curtail environmental regulations if reelected.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Sommers, president of the American Petroleum Institute, the <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2024//10//16//has-the-demand-for-fossil-fuels-already-peaked-a-new-report-suggests-that-may-be-the-case/">oil and gas<\/strong><\/a> industry's top lobbying group, said Wright\u2019s experience in the energy sector \u201cgives him an important perspective that will inform his leadership\" of the Energy Department.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Senator John Barrasso of Wyoming, who is expected to become chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said Trump promised bold choices for his Cabinet, and Wright\u2019s nomination delivers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s an <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2024//06//27//renewables-surge-green-energy-made-up-the-majority-of-eus-electricity-in-2023/">energy innovator who laid the foundation for America\u2019s fracking boom.

The site was initially invitation-only but opened to the public in February.\n\nIt contains both a Discover feed, which Bluesky said last year is \"customised for what you like to see, while still giving you a view into what\u2019s trending in the network\". It also has a chronological feed for accounts that users follow.\n\nThe platform has also added new features in the last year such as direct messaging and video sharing.\n\nIt is built on the AT Protocol, an open network for building social apps.\n\n\"Bluesky is an open social network that gives creators independence from platforms, developers the freedom to build, and users a choice in their experience,\" the platform says on its social page.\n\nNew members as some flee X\n\nThe uptick for Bluesky comes as several X (formerly Twitter) users have said they're leaving the platform.\n\nElon Musk acquired the platform in 2022 and made several changes to how it moderates content, for instance.\n\nHe was also a vocal supporter of US President-elect Donald Trump during the 2024 US presidential election, posting about the vote extensively on X.\n\nA report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) ahead of the election found that Musk's false or misleading claims on the platform had gathered nearly two billion views.\n\nThe billionaire has now been tapped by Trump to form a new government efficiency office.\n\nNewspapers such as The Guardian in the UK and La Vanguardia in Spain announced after the US presidential election that they would leave Musk's platform, with The Guardian saying it was due to \"the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform\".\n\nOther users on X said that they would not leave the platform but rather were adding accounts on Bluesky as millions joined its competitor.\n\nFormer Human Rights Watch director Kenneth Roth, meanwhile, posted that it's \"a mistake for progressives to leave X\".\n\n\"Yes it has taken a rightward and toxic turn under Elon Musk, but there is no place comparable for discussion of the world's most important developments.

of Denver-based Liberty Energy, Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking, a key pillar of Trump\u2019s quest to achieve U.S. \u201cenergy dominance\u201d in the global market.\n\nWright has been one of the industry\u2019s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change, and could give fossil fuels a boost, including quick action to end a year-long pause on natural gas export approvals by the Biden administration.\n\nFrequently criticising what he calls a \u201ctop-down\u201d approach to climate by liberal and left-wing groups, Wright has argued that the climate movement around the world is \u201ccollapsing under its own weight.\u201d He has never served in government, but has written that more fossil fuel production is needed around the globe to lift people out of poverty.\n\nConsideration of Wright to head the administration's energy department won support from influential conservatives, including oil and gas tycoon Harold Hamm. \n\nHamm, executive chairman of Oklahoma-based Continental Resources, a major shale oil company, is a long-time Trump supporter and adviser who played a key role on energy issues in Trump\u2019s first term. Hamm helped organise an event at Trump\u2019s Mar-a-Lago resort in April where Trump reportedly asked industry leaders and lobbyists to donate one billion dollars to Trump\u2019s campaign, with the expectation that Trump would curtail environmental regulations if re-elected.\n\nMike Sommers, president of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil and gas industry's top lobbying group, said Wright\u2019s experience in the energy sector \u201cgives him an important perspective that will inform his leadership\" of the Energy Department.\n\n\u201cWe look forward to working with him once confirmed to bolster American geopolitical strength by lifting DOE\u2019s pause on LNG export permits and ensuring the open access of American energy for our allies around the world,\" Sommers said.\n\nJackie Wong, senior vice president for climate and energy at the Natural Resources Defence Council, an environmental group, called Wright \u201ca champion of dirty fossil fuels\" and said his nomination to lead the Energy Department was \u201ca disastrous mistake.\u201d\n\n\u201cThe Energy Department should be doing all it can to develop and expand the energy sources of the 21st century, not trying to promote the dirty fuels of the last century,\" Wong said. \u201cGiven the devastating impacts of climate-fuelled disasters, DOE\u2019s core mission of researching and promoting cleaner energy solutions is more important now than ever.\" \n\nThe Energy Department is responsible for advancing energy, environmental and nuclear security of the United States.

Pyle led Trump\u2019s Energy Department\u2019s transition team in 2016.\n\nLiberty is a major energy industry service provider, with a focus on technology. Wright, who grew up in Colorado, earned undergraduate degree at MIT and did graduate work in electrical engineering at the University of California-Berkeley and MIT. In 1992, he founded Pinnacle Technologies, which helped launch commercial shale gas production through hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.\n\nHe later served as chairman of Stroud Energy, an early shale gas producer, before founding Liberty Resources in 2010.\n\nThe announcement of Wright's selection came hours after a key Trump ally, billionaire Elon Musk, called for more direct public input into the decision-making process for another top post that the president-elect is still mulling, the head of his new administration's Treasury Department. \n\nElon Musk puts forward choices for Trump's new administration\n\n\u201cWould be interesting to hear more people weigh in on this for @realDonaldTrump to consider feedback,\u201d Musk, who Trump has already tapped to co-lead a commission tasked with increasing government spending efficiency, posted on Saturday on the X social media platform he owns. \n\nMusk used the rest of his post to become the first participant in the public poll he was proposing, endorsing Howard Lutnick, the CEO of financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald and co-chair of Trump\u2019s transition team over hedge fund manager Scott Bessent.\n\nMusk said in his post that \u201cBessent is a business-as-usual choice, whereas @howardlutnick will actually enact change.\u201d\n\n\u201cBusiness-as-usual is driving America bankrupt, so we need change,\u201d he said.\n\nBoth Lutnick and Bessent have been mentioned as possible picks to lead the Treasury Department. Bessent is considered the more conventional, business-friendly choice. He is sceptical about cryptocurrency, while Lutnick is friendlier to the crypto industry.\n\nTrump\u2019s pick to lead his Health and Human Services Department, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also endorsed Lutnick, posting on his own X account, \u201cBitcoin is the currency of freedom, a hedge against inflation for middle class Americans.\u201d \n\n","htmlText":"<p>CEO of Denver-based Liberty Energy, Wright is a vocal advocate of oil and gas development, including fracking, a key pillar of Trump\u2019s quest to achieve U.S. \u201cenergy dominance\u201d in the global market.<\/p>\n<p>Wright has been one of the industry\u2019s loudest voices against efforts to fight climate change, and could give fossil fuels a boost, including quick action to end a year-long pause on natural gas export approvals by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Frequently criticising what he calls a \u201ctop-down\u201d approach to climate by liberal and left-wing groups, Wright has argued that the climate movement around the world is \u201ccollapsing under its own weight.\u201d He has never served in government, but has written that more fossil fuel production is needed around the globe to lift people out of poverty.<\/p>\n<p>Consideration of Wright to head the administration's energy department won support from influential conservatives, including oil and gas tycoon Harold Hamm. <\/p>\n<p>Hamm, executive chairman of Oklahoma-based Continental Resources, a major shale oil company, is a long-time Trump supporter and adviser who played a key role on energy issues in Trump\u2019s first term.

Musk\u2019s influence on US President-elect Donald Trump could lead to more artificial intelligence (AI) safety standards, said the Swedish-American scientist Max Tegmark, who also warned that any geopolitical AI arms race would result in humanity\u2019s \"suicide race\".\n\nSpeaking to Euronews Next at Web Summit in Lisbon, Tegmark, who is the president of the Future of Life Institute, said the US getting more AI safety regulation, however, will also depend on who Trump listens to.\n\n\"Instinctively, the Republican Party tends to be very against all regulation,\u201d he said, unlike Musk who \u201cput his money where his mouth was\" and broke ranks with the likes of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Google to support a proposed California AI bill.\n\nTrump has also vowed to repeal a Biden administration executive order on AI safety yet Tegmark said this would not make much of a difference in building AI safety standards as it was \"quite weak regulation\".\u00a0\n\nThe scientist\u2019s biggest fear is not generative AI, such as ChatGPT, but rather artificial general intelligence (AGI), a type of AI that matches or surpasses human cognitive capabilities, and that we could lose control of.\n\n\"Losing control of AGI is just like walking right off a cliff, in which case it's game over for humanity,\" Tegmark said.\u00a0\n\n\"I think it will make a big difference whether Trump will listen more to Elon [Musk] on this or more to the anti-regulation intentions,\" he added.\u00a0\n\nWhat is Artificial General Intelligence?\n\nAGI, seen as the \"Holy Grail\" by tech companies, has been hyped up by Altman, among other tech figureheads trying to raise funding.\n\nFor Altman, AGI is defined as a hypothetical form of machine intelligence that can solve any human task through methods not constrained to its training. Altman has said it can \"elevate humanity\" and does not refer to machines taking over.\u00a0\n\nThe OpenAI CEO has said AGI could come as early as next year, while many others have predicted its arrival in the next decade.\n\n\"A lot of people latch onto the AGI brand now for hype and try to redefine it as being the thing that they're selling now, or that they're building now so they can raise money,\" said Tegmark.\n\nHe said the original AGI definition goes back to the 1950s, which defines it as AI that can do all human jobs, meaning AI could replace human workers and also develop and build the AGI machines themselves.\u00a0\n\n\"You're not talking anymore just about a new technology like steam engines or the Internet. You're talking about a new species. That's why it's such a big deal,\" Tegmark said.\u00a0\n\nMachines taking control is the default outcome, according to a prediction in the 1950s by the computer scientist Alan Turing.\n\nTuring said at the time this outcome was far off and created a test set to show when the time was near, originally named the \"imitation game,\" but now called the Turing Test.\n\nThe test aims to identify whether a machine exhibits human-like intelligence by responding to a series of questions from a human. The human is unaware if the answers are provided by a machine or a human.\u00a0\n\nAccording to some researchers, the test was passed last year.\n\nHowever, AGI does not exist right now and it is unclear when it will or even if it ever will, despite the corporate hype.\u00a0\n\nAn AI arms race\n\nAs well as a corporate AI race there is also an AI arms race, according to Tegmark.\u00a0\n\n\"There's an arms race within the United States between different companies and the only way to stop that is, of course, to have national US safety standards,\" he said.\u00a0\n\nTrump has suggested that the US's lead in AI will be a focus for his government.\u00a0\n\n\"We have to be at the forefront\u2026 We have to take the lead over China,\" he said on the Impaulsive podcast in June.\u00a0\n\n\"There's the geopolitical [AI] race. And there, the whole framing is wrong because it's not actually an arms race, to build AGI first, it's just a suicide race,\" Tegmark said.\u00a0\n\n\"There's nobody to control this stuff\".\n\n\"If you manage to go extinct who cares if you're Chinese, French, or American,\" he added.\u00a0\n\nGetting regulations right for each country is key, he said, rather than countries having to make agreements with each other.\u00a0\n\n\"My vision for success here is much simpler. It's that the Chinese decides to put national safety standards in China to prevent their Chinese companies from causing harm.

I look up to him. I\u2019m inspired by him.\u201d\n\nTyson came after Paul immediately after the opening bell and landed a couple of quick punches but didn't try much else the rest of the way.\n\nEven fewer rounds than the normal 10 or 12 and two-minute rounds instead of three, along with heavier gloves designed to lessen the power of punches, couldn't do much to generate action. \n\nPaul was more aggressive after the quick burst from Tyson in the opening seconds, but the punching wasn't very efficient. There were quite a few wild swings and misses.\n\n\u201cI was trying to hurt him a little bit,\u201d said Paul, who improved to 11-1. \u201cI was scared he was going to hurt me. I was trying to hurt him. I did my best. I did my best.\u201d\n\nTyson mostly sat back and waited for Paul to come to him, with a few exceptions. It was quite the contrast to the co-main event, another slugfest between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in which Taylor kept her undisputed super lightweight championship with another disputed decision.\n\nPaul said he eased up starting about the third round because he thought Tyson was tired and vulnerable.\n\n\u201cI wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt somebody that didn't need to be hurt,\u201d Paul said.\n\nIt was the first sanctioned fight since 2005 for Tyson, who fought Roy Jones Jr. in a much more entertaining exhibition in 2020. Paul started fighting a little more than four years ago. \n\n\u201cI didn\u2019t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself,\u201d Tyson said when asked what it meant to complete the fight. \u201cI'm not one of those guys that looks to please the world. I'm just happy with what I can do.\u201d\n\nAnd in an exclusive interview with Euronews in October 2014, Mike Tyson had said: \"You learn humbleness when you get older in life.\"\n\nThe fight was originally scheduled for July 20 but had to be postponed when Tyson was treated for a stomach ulcer after falling ill on a flight. His record is now 50-7 with 44 knockouts.\n\nTyson slapped Paul on the face during the weigh-in a night before the fight, and they traded insults in several of the hype events, before and after the postponement.\n\nThe hate was long gone by the end of the anticlimactic fight.\n\n\u201cI have so much respect for him,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThat violence, war thing between us, like after he slapped me, I wanted to be aggressive and take him down and knock him out and all that stuff. That kind of went away as the rounds went on.\u201d\n\nThe fight set a Texas record for combat sports with a gate of nearly 17 million euros, according to organisers, and Netflix had problems with the feed in the streaming platform's first live combat sports event. Netflix has more than 280 million subscribers globally.\n\n\u201cThis is the biggest event,\u201d Paul said. \u201cOver 120 million people on Netflix. We crashed the site.\u201d\n\nAmong the celebrities were basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal and former NFL star Rob Gronkowski, along with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.\n\nEvander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, two foes with Tyson's heyday, greeted him in his locker room before the fight. \n\nTyson infamously bit Holyfield on the ear in a 1997 bout, and appeared to have one of his gloves in his mouth several times during the Paul bout. He was asked if he had problem with his mouthpiece.\n\n\u201cI have a habit of biting my gloves,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cI have a biting fixation.\u201d\n\n\u201cI've heard about that,\u201d the interview responded.\n\nMario Barrios retained the WBC welterweight title in a draw with Abel Ramos on the undercard. Barrios was in control early before Ramos dominated the middle rounds.

I look up to him. I\u2019m inspired by him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyson came after Paul immediately after the opening bell and landed a couple of quick punches but didn't try much else the rest of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Even fewer rounds than the normal 10 or 12 and two-minute rounds instead of three, along with heavier gloves designed to lessen the power of punches, couldn't do much to generate action. <\/p>\n<p>Paul was more aggressive after the quick burst from Tyson in the opening seconds, but the punching wasn't very efficient. There were quite a few wild swings and misses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was trying to hurt him a little bit,\u201d said Paul, who improved to 11-1. \u201cI was scared he was going to hurt me. I was trying to hurt him. I did my best. I did my best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyson mostly sat back and waited for Paul to come to him, with a few exceptions. It was quite the contrast to the co-main event, another slugfest between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano in which Taylor kept her undisputed super lightweight championship with another disputed decision.<\/p>\n<p>Paul said he eased up starting about the third round because he thought Tyson was tired and vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to give the fans a show, but I didn't want to hurt somebody that didn't need to be hurt,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first sanctioned fight since 2005 for Tyson, who fought Roy Jones Jr. in a much more entertaining exhibition in 2020. Paul started fighting a little more than four years ago. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t prove nothing to anybody, only to myself,\u201d Tyson said when asked what it meant to complete the fight. \u201cI'm not one of those guys that looks to please the world. I'm just happy with what I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And in an exclusive interview with Euronews in October 2014, Mike Tyson had said: \"You learn humbleness when you get older in life.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"2305472,8854274\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//culture//2024//11//15//mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul-a-circus-act-or-boxings-new-era/">Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul: A circus act or boxing's new era?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2014//10//14//mike-tyson-you-learn-humbleness-when-you-get-older-in-life/">Mike Tyson: 'You learn humbleness when you get older in life'<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The fight was originally scheduled for July 20 but had to be postponed when Tyson was treated for a stomach ulcer after falling ill on a flight. His record is now 50-7 with 44 knockouts.<\/p>\n<p>Tyson slapped Paul on the face during the weigh-in a night before the fight, and they traded insults in several of the hype events, before and after the postponement.<\/p>\n<p>The hate was long gone by the end of the anticlimactic fight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have so much respect for him,\u201d Paul said. \u201cThat violence, war thing between us, like after he slapped me, I wanted to be aggressive and take him down and knock him out and all that stuff. That kind of went away as the rounds went on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fight set a Texas record for combat sports with a gate of nearly 17 million euros, according to organisers, and Netflix had problems with the feed in the streaming platform's first live combat sports event. Netflix has more than 280 million subscribers globally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the biggest event,\u201d Paul said. \u201cOver 120 million people on Netflix. We crashed the site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Among the celebrities were basketball Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal and former NFL star Rob Gronkowski, along with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.<\/p>\n<p>Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis, two foes with Tyson's heyday, greeted him in his locker room before the fight. <\/p>\n<p>Tyson infamously bit Holyfield on the ear in a 1997 bout, and appeared to have one of his gloves in his mouth several times during the Paul bout. He was asked if he had problem with his mouthpiece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a habit of biting my gloves,\u201d Tyson said. \u201cI have a biting fixation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI've heard about that,\u201d the interview responded.<\/p>\n<p>Mario Barrios retained the WBC welterweight title in a draw with Abel Ramos on the undercard. Barrios was in control early before Ramos dominated the middle rounds. Each had a knockdown in the 12-round bout.<\/p>\n<p>It was the first fight for the 29-year-old Barrios since he was appointed the WBC welterweight champ when Terence Crawford started the process of moving up from the 147-pound class.<\/p>\n<p>Barrios, who is 29-2-1, won the interim WBC title with a unanimous decision over Yordenis Ug\u00e1s last year.
