Hydrogen trains, lorries, buses are in wide use across the Globe

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in a tweet on Saturday said his company will continue to pay for Ukraine's Starlink satellite internet access, although it remains unclear whether the billionaire was being sarcastic or serious.
"The hell with it..." the world's richest man wrote. "even though Starlink is still losing money & other companies are getting billions of taxpayer $, we'll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free."
The tweets come after Musk on Friday said he will no longer be able to fund Ukraine's terminals, calling on the US government to take over. Back in February, just days after Russia launched its military operation, the billionaire provided Ukraine with Starlink satellite internet dishes, which have helped the country maintain internet coverage in areas targeted by the Russian troops.

Sixteen German bridge-layer tanks arrived in Ukraine on Saturday, Interfax and the Kyiv Independent reported, citing official government information.
The Biber armored vehicles were pledged by Berlin in July in an effort to enable Kiev's troops to cross combat obstacles. According to the announcement, Germany also sent 10 pontoon-bridge machines to the war-struck country.
As of now, German military aid for Ukraine is estimated at around $1.5 billion.

Downbeat predictions by the Treasury and others on the economic consequences of leaving the EU, contemptuously dismissed at the time by Brexit campaigners as "Project Fear", have been on a long fuse, but they have turned out to be overwhelmingly correct, and if anything have underestimated both the calamitous loss of international standing and the scale of the damage that six years of policy confusion and ineptitude has imposed on the country.

A serious house price correction, substantially higher interest rates and a permanently impaired exchange rate may be the least of it.
