The Turkish Parliament approved on Tuesday Sweden's accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), moving Stockholm closer to becoming the alliance's 32nd member.

The decision, pending final approval by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, marks a significant shift in Sweden's defense policy and leaves Hungary as the only remaining NATO member yet to ratify Sweden's application, a process initiated nearly two years ago in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The approval in Ankara followed intense deliberations, particularly over Turkey's concerns regarding Sweden's stance on groups Turkey considers separatist, such as the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). Sweden has maintained that it meets NATO's membership criteria and has tightened laws against terrorism and lifted arms export restrictions to Turkey in response.

The place where:

1. Men who hire prostitutes deliver speeches on gender equality.

2. Tycoons arrive in private jets to persuade you to ride a bicycle.

3. Billionaires assure you that you can be happy without having anything.

TATA STEEL

Will use Electric arc furnaces (each as large as a house) ?

Should be hydrogen furnaces which is the future (as in Sweden).

Still will use all the scrap steel, 80% of which we export, so that bit will be environmentally friendly.
