Why Belgian hairdressers are cut up about gender-neutral pricing
Belgian hairdressers are facing economic pressures with the proposal of gender-neutral pricing, which suggests a single rate for haircuts regardless of the client's gender. The national hairdressing federation, Febelhair, cannot mandate prices but is providing guidelines for salons. The proposal has been met with resistance from barbers who argue that different styles and services justify varied pricing.
Fertility clinic worker who used own sperm fathered 11 children
A Dutch lab worker at the SMCG fertility clinic in Leiden used his own sperm in fertility treatments over five years, resulting in the birth of 11 children who may have inherited a genetic condition from him. The scandal led to the closure of SMCG, and Dr. Arne van Heusden from the Medisch Centrum Kinderwens, which opened afterward, raised concerns about the genetic condition, though its specifics remain confidential.
Geneva Motor Show in Qatar: Festival of Automotive Excellence
The automotive industry, valued at over $4 trillion, is rapidly transitioning from gasoline to electric vehicles, with an expected 14 million electric vehicles to be sold by the end of 2023. At the Geneva Motor Show in Qatar, industry leaders like Toyota and BMW showcased their visions for the future, emphasizing technology, innovation, and sustainability. Kia reported an 87% increase in electric vehicle sales over the past year.

EU asylum applications hit 7-year high
In 2023, over 1.14 million people applied for asylum in the EU, the highest number since 2015-2016. Germany received the most applications, followed by France, Spain, and Italy. Syrian and Afghan nationals were the largest groups of applicants. The EU's recent migration law overhaul aims to streamline asylum processes and includes a solidarity mechanism for redistributing asylum seekers. Far-right parties, including Germany's AfD, are leveraging migration issues to gain political support. Experts caution that the new reforms, effective from 2026, may not immediately resolve migration challenges.
Hungary blocks EU’s £15.5bn Ukraine aid package
Hungary has blocked a £15.5 billion EU aid package to Ukraine, demanding the release of frozen EU funds to Budapest. The European Commission had withheld £11.5 billion from Hungary over concerns about corruption and democratic standards. Hungary's veto has set up a confrontation with other EU leaders, as the country insists on bilateral aid to Ukraine and opposes more common EU debt. The EU is exploring alternative solutions to bypass Hungary's veto, but these may be more complex and costly. The situation highlights tensions within the EU and criticism of Hungary's stance on Ukraine and EU sanctions against Russia.
