Emirates begins construction of a new pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz
With the aim of reducing the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz for its national economy, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have announced the construction of a new pipeline that will connect the country from west to east. This project will allow avoiding transit through the enclave through which one fifth of global trade passes and is expected to be operational by 2027. The Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, was informed about the details during the meeting of the Executive Committee of the state oil company ADNOC.

AI: the world must prepare for a labor apocalypse
The launch of ChatGPT in 2022 unleashed the rise of artificial intelligence and triggered a flood of warnings from industry leaders about a possible labor apocalypse. Although they have reasons to highlight the disruptive effect of their products, and despite employment in developed countries being near historic highs, the pessimistic message has taken hold. Seven out of ten Americans believe that artificial intelligence will make it harder to find a job; nearly a third fear for their own employment. The lack of opportunities for university graduates — especially computer programmers — increases concern.
The unanswered questions left by the trial against the Pujol family
At 13:49 yesterday, May 14, the trial against the Pujol family and nine businessmen who allegedly paid them commissions in exchange for public works was submitted for judgment. 38 oral hearing sessions, in which more than 200 witnesses and experts have appeared. The trial closes 3,685 days after the visit of Victoria Álvarez, Jordi Pujol Ferrusola’s ex-lover, to the Canillas police complex, accompanied by the “patriotic police,” in which she explains that she saw with her own eyes how Pujol Ferrusola carried bags of cash to Andorra. It is December 13, 2012. The police investigation that started then, which was halted until El Mundo published seventeen months later information about the Pujol accounts in Banca Privada d’Andorra (BPA) allegedly obtained by the Spanish police, ended with the entire family charged, as well as ten businessmen; since the hearing began last November, one of them, Carles Vilarrubí, has died, and former president Pujol was exonerated for health reasons. The rest await sentencing, possibly at the end of July, according to legal sources. All the accused plead not guilty. About 200 hours of oral hearing have not cleared up many of the case’s doubts.
