Posted: 04 Dec 2018 06:45 AM PST

Iran wants to expand missile range despite U.S. oppositionIran wants to increase its missiles' range, a senior military official was quoted as saying on Tuesday, a move that would irk the United States which views Tehran's weapons program as a regional security threat. U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of an international nuclear agreement in May and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic Republic, criticizing the deal for not including curbs on Iran's development of ballistic missiles. "One of our most important programs is increasing the range of missiles and ammunition," said the head of the Iranian air force, Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.

Mexico's President Stays Silent on Pledge to Scrap $13 Billion Airport

Posted: 03 Dec 2018 02:48 PM PST

Mexico's President Stays Silent on Pledge to Scrap $13 Billion AirportIt's part of his administration's strategy to placate investors who loaned money for building a new Mexico City hub and have since been told that the project isn't going to happen, sending prices for Mexican assets plummeting as analysts questioned whether the new government is committed to business-friendly policies. Officials on Monday unveiled an offer to buy back as much as $1.8 billion of the securities and create a revenue stream to repay the remaining notes, but it can only happen if a majority of investors agree to scrap the covenants that allow them to demand their money back if the airport is canceled.

German conservative questions future of Russian gas pipelineA key ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Monday raised questions about the future of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline amid growing concern about Russia's seizure of three Ukrainian ships and their crew off the coast of Russian-annexed Crimea. Juergen Hardt, foreign policy spokesman for Merkel's conservatives in parliament, told Reuters that further sanctions against Russia would have to be considered unless diplomatic efforts were able to resolve the conflict. "When diplomatic efforts to ease tensions fail, we cannot ignore the question of whether it is responsible to further increase the dependence of Germany and the European Union on Russia gas," he said.

Shell to set sector-leading emissions targets after investor pressureRivals BP and Total have already set short-term targets on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but these are limited to their own operations.

Monday's move marks a change of tack for Shell Chief Executive Ben van Beurden, who had previously resisted setting hard goals, saying it would be "foolhardy" to expose Shell to legal challenges.
