Supreme Court could soon rule on Biden’s student loan forgiveness program. Here’s what borrowers need to know

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:48 GMT

Washington (CNN) — Millions of borrowers may learn soon whether they could receive up to $20,000 in debt relief under President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.The fate of the unprecedented debt cancellation program lies with the Supreme Court, which is expected to decide to either uphold or strike down the proposal in late June or early July.The student loan forgiveness program, which Biden announced last August, has been on hold due to legal challenges. No student loan debt has been canceled, despite the fact that the government approved 16 million applications eligible for relief last year.A group of Republican-led states and other conservative groups took the Biden administration to court over the program, claiming that the executive branch does not have the power to so broadly cancel student debt in the proposed manner.Critics also point out that the one-time student loan forgiveness program does nothing to address the cost of college for future students and could ...

Worldwide refugee numbers hit all-time high, says UN

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:48 GMT

The number of refugees worldwide reached a record high in 2022, according to the U.N.’s refugee agency. Russia’s war in Ukraine contributed to a record yearly increase of 19.1 million people fleeing from war and persecution, bringing the total figure up to 108.4 million at the end of 2022.These figures come days after EU ministers secured a hard-won deal to set common asylum rules for the bloc and speed up migrant returns outside of Europe.The UNHCR’s report published Wednesday confirmed that most refugees are hosted in developing countries which are closer to crisis areas.According to the U.N. agency, 76 percent of the world’s refugees are hosted in low- and middle-income countries, with Turkey, Iran and Colombia topping the global ranking.“Much more international support and more equitable responsibility sharing is required, especially with those countries that are hosting most of the world’s displaced,” said Filippo Grandi, the U.N.’s high commissioner for refugees.Th...

Germany accuses China of ‘aggressively’ claiming supremacy in Asia

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:48 GMT

BERLIN — Germany on Wednesday blasted China for acting against Europe’s interests, “aggressively claiming regional supremacy” in Asia and putting international security at risk.The criticism, which is part of a 76-page national security strategy Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government has adopted, comes ahead of German-Chinese government consultations in Berlin next Tuesday, set to be led by Scholz and Chinese Premier Li Qiang. POLITICO reported Tuesday that the German government is keen to downsize the number of ministers participating in the summit to avoid giving allies the impression it’s too welcoming to China.While repeating the years-old EU policy of describing China as a “partner, competitor and systemic rival,” the German strategy document noted that “the elements of rivalry and competition have increased in recent years.”“China is trying in various ways to reshape the existing rules-based international order, is incre...

Key renewables vote in Council postponed over nuclear spat

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:48 GMT

The Swedish Council presidency has again delayed the formal approval of the Renewable Energy Directive (REDIII) as it tries to resolve a French-led feud among countries over the role of nuclear energy.EU ambassadors on Wednesday were due to sign off on REDIII, an integral part of the bloc’s flagship Fit for 55 climate package that aims to slash emissions by 55 percent by 2030 and ramp up the share of renewables in the EU’s energy mix to 42.5 percent.But the vote was postponed until Friday to give EU countries time to digest a last-minute proposal by the Swedish presidency circulated late Tuesday meant to placate France, according to two diplomats, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about country dynamics.EU capitals and the Parliament reached a provisional deal on the text in March, but Paris has been pushing for a greater role for its atomic sector. Those efforts have riled nuclear-skeptic countries including Luxembourg and Germany, as well as countries previously sympath...

Google gets EU antitrust charges on ad tech business

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:48 GMT

Google may need to sell off part of its advertising business to prevent it from abusing its dominant position in the market and shutting out competitors, the European Commission said Wednesday as it sent antitrust charges to the search giant.Google “may have abused its dominant position by favoring its own ad tech business,” antitrust Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said at a press conference on Wednesday.The ad tech sector is “highly dynamic,” Vestager said, and “has changed a lot over the last 15 years.” She said Google was “pervasive” across the ad tech value chain and that offloading one part of its business could be “the only way to solve this.”“We see no alternative so far at this stage of the investigation,” she added.The Commission said in a statement of objections that Google is dominant in both ad publishing and buying and had abused its position since 2014, favoring its own online display advertising technology services at the expense of competitors. The antit...

Chicago White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks taking the ‘wait and see’ approach with right elbow inflammation

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:40:48 GMT

Liam Hendriks first felt something not quite right in his right elbow around May 4, the day the Chicago White Sox reliever left to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte.“It’s been sore for the last few weeks, ever since before my rehab assignment it was barking, but my mantra is to pitch things until I can’t,” Hendriks said Tuesday at Dodger Stadium. “It kept getting a little worse and worse and worse until the last couple of outings I wasn’t able to pitch through that pain.“The more I throw, generally the better I feel. And this time, it wasn’t going away. It was lingering.”The Sox placed Hendriks on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right elbow inflammation, the team announced Sunday morning.“Structurally, it’s fine,” Hendriks said. “It’s all good. Or goodish for me. But it’s just a little inflammation that’s sitting on one of the wrong spots. Trying to get that eradica...
