Belgian FA withholds Infantino re-election support over unresolved FIFA issues
x/folarin-balogun
— Sep 7, 2026
The Royal Belgian Football Association said it will not support Gianni Infantino’s reelection as FIFA president, citing two transparency and governance concerns: the shelved FIFA Forward Enterprise project and the Balogun World Cup red-card episode, which included Trump’s involvement. The RBFA, aligning with UEFA, seeks clear explanations and considers CAS as a possible recourse while continuing to press FIFA for accountability.

UN warns world likely to overshoot 1.5°C, sees possible path back
x/united-nations-environment-programme
— Sep 2, 2026
A group of UN-led assessments warn that the 1.5°C limit is increasingly likely to be breached in coming years, but still callable back down through a sustained overshoot-and-reduction pathway that combines rapid emission cuts with large-scale carbon removal. The consensus remains that while overshoot is not inevitable catastrophe, it will entail decades of heightened climate risks and requires urgent, bolder action across mitigation, adaptation, and governance to keep temperatures from rising further.

x/volkswagen
— Sep 10, 2026
Volkswagen’s restructuring is poised to cost about €16 billion ($18.6 billion), covering job cuts worldwide and possible plant closures or model phase-outs at four German facilities as part of its largest-ever overhaul.
