  • 'Show me the money': EU's defence industry wants at least €100 billion after 2027

    The European defence industry has urged policymakers to allocate at least €100 billion to defence under the next long-term common budget (2028–34), emphasising that this is the ‘bare minimum’ required to strengthen the bloc’s military capabilities.

    The €13 billion set aside for security and defence in the EU’s current long-term budget (2021–2027) is a drop in the ocean when it comes to protecting Europe from serious threats, the bloc’s defence, security, and space industry has warned. 
    The next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) should feature dedicated investment envelopes that “match the scale of the ambition and the urgency of the challenge,” according to a position paper by the Aerospace, Security and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD), released on the eve of the European Commission’s proposal. 

    Industry leaders say that means allocating around €150 billion for both defence and non-military security across the next seven-year budget cycle, starting in 2028. 
    In recent months, the EU has urged member states to ramp up national defence efforts and has proposed an €800 billion plan to rearm. But so far, the pace of action has fallen short of expectations. 
    “Despite recent increases, Europe’s current rate of defence investment and procurement is inadequate to address the most extreme military contingencies,” the ASD warned in the paper. 
    With the US shifting focus to the Indo-Pacific and the threat of potential Russian aggression looming, industry figures argued that €100 billion for defence alone is “the bare minimum” needed to begin rebuilding Europe’s defence industrial base—especially after decades of underfunding that led to a €600 billion “defence deficit” during the so-called peace dividend era. 
    The precise breakdown of the EU’s next budget remains under wraps until Wednesday. But according to leaked documents seen by Euronews, the Commission is expected to propose a massive industrial fund that merges up to 14 existing budget lines, spanning defence, space, and technology programs. 

    This new instrument, the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF), is set to include the European Defence Fund, the Act in Support of Ammunition Production, IRIS², InvestEU, the European Defence Industry Programme, EU4Health and LIFE, among others. 
    The ECF will also feature a European preference clause to promote sovereignty in critical areas like digital technologies, space, biotech, security, and defence. 
    In addition, the European Commission is weighing whether to merge its two largest budget items—the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the cohesion policy—into a single programming framework. Under this umbrella, the ECF would be used to support the bloc’s growing defence and security capabilities. 

    The European industry has also called on EU policymakers to allocate another €40 to €60 billion for space-related projects and around €23.5 billion for civil aviation. Otherwise, chronic underinvestment in aerospace, defence and security could result in weakened capabilities, delayed critical transitions and increased dependencies, the ASD claimed. 
    European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius told Euronews in a recent interview that the next long-term budget should include more funding for space initiatives to reduce reliance on the US and strengthen the EU’s strategic autonomy. 
    While he didn’t provide specific figures due to ongoing negotiations, Kubilius acknowledged that maintaining current space systems alone will cost more than the €17 billion currently allocated. 
    “If we do not allocate enough funding and fail to start developing these space projects, by 2035 we may find ourselves in a very unattractive situation,” he warned. 

  • Meghan Markle Calls Out Patrick J Adams for His Bare Performance

    Meghan Markle Plays the Joke on New York’s Brightest Actor

    In a quirky twist of fate, Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams—once the on‑screen power couple from Suits—ran into each other in the most unexpected setting: a group‑of‑naked‑men Broadway show.

    Back in 2011

    During a Los Angeles run of Bill Cain’s 9 Circles, Patrick performed the dramatized version of a male labor dancer that required him to be 100% shirtless. Meghan, then a busy planner who’d already dipped into the world of legal drama on TV, snuck into the audience for an extra dose of drama‑fuel.

    When asked about the experience at an entertainment interview, Patrick chuckled, “Meghan was there and she couldn’t resist cracking a joke about my bare‑back performance.” He added that she seemed to enjoy a little “nam‑nim‑nim” at the expense of his modesty.

    “She might as well bring a ticket to the next time I’m on stage—she’s got a good laugh in her pocket,” he said.

    Ready for a Second Naked Blast?

    Patrick is slated to hit Broadway again next month in Richard Greenberg’s Take Me Out, a play that involves a stunt where the lead has to go completely nude. The show’s long‑awaited revival has finally topped the gates after a pandemic pause.

    When the question of a “guest pass” for old‑movie stars came up, the Canadian native admitted he’s ready to invite the Duchess of Sussex for the curtain‑rise. “I will definitely push her an invite—she’s a fan of my work, so there’s a good chance she’ll say yes.”

    From TV to Absolutely Legal Reality

    Remember how Rachel Zane (Meghan’s character) and Mike Ross (Patrick’s character) turned a co‑worker dynamic into a heartbreaking love story? Their on‑screen romance sparked city‑wide emoji revolutions and ended with a kiss‑kiss on curtain call. The dynamic duo even built a legal empire in Seattle after Meghan had to exit the show for real‑life reasons.

    Now a decade later, the two are being reunited by chance in a theatre where the only crook is the clatter of the curtain.

    The Bottom Line

    • Meghan once threw a playful jab at Patrick.
    • Patrick’s next Broadway venture will once again strip the stage, literally.
    • Both are open to throwing a “back‑stage invite” to the other for future sits.

    That’s the story: from courtroom drama to a naked ballet recital, and austen, oh, a bashful, amused moment that keeps the Emmy potential alive for: the duo never stops being a force to be seen—on screen and on stage.

    Royal Wedding Sidekick: Actor Patrick’s Unexpected Star‑Studded Life

    From Windsor Castle to Santa Barbara – The Unexpected Journey of Patrick & Troian

    Remember that whirlwind 2018 wedding between Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and Prince Harry at the opulent Windsor Castle? It wasn’t just the royalty getting married – our friendly neighborhood actor Patrick was there in full glam, hand‑in‑hand with his wife Troian Bellisario. Picture the scene: the couple strolling in heels, English lawns. If you thought it was just a fling, think again.

    Keeping the Connection Alive

    • After the royal duo headed for the sunny beaches of Santa Barbara in October 2020, Patrick says they stayed in touch.
    • “We’ve texted a few times. We both started families at roughly the same time,” he told ET.
    • Troian’s own family is no small potatoes, but Patrick finds joy in having his partner back by the water.

    When asked if he’d organize a fun day for Meghan’s little ones, Patrick left it to the Duchess. “I leave that in Meghan’s court,” he chuckled. “She’s incredibly busy, so hopefully time will allow.” He added, “It’s pretty great.”

    The Family Tree

    • Patrick & Troian: Married in 2016, they’ve welcomed two sweet girls: Aurora (3) and Elliot (just 9 months).
    • Prince Harry & Meghan: Rock the throne, with Archie (2) and Lilibet (8 months) keeping them on their toes.
    Bottom Line

    Between royal wedding selfies and family updates, the world’s rarely the same as it seems. Patrick’s life might just be a litany of “you’re probably not watching this” but the humor, the heartfelt, and the understated charm keep the readers hooked.

    Goldman\’s China Tech Tour Highlights Urgent Call: America Must Reclaim Supply Chains by 2030

    Goldman’s Big Tech‑Safari 2025: Exploring China’s Silicon Jungle

    What’s on the Itinerary?

    From Monday to Thursday, a squad of Goldman analysts is setting off on a whirlwind tour across Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. They’ll be sipping bubble tea while poking around in 19 companies that are shaping the future of AI, semiconductors, eVTOL planes, and photonics.

    Why It Matters (and Why You Should Care)

    These aren’t just fancy gadgets. They’re the powerhouses that will decide who’s pulling the strings in the 2030s. Early whispers from China’s tech scene point to a clear advantage: handsets, eVTOLs, and other tech that rides on similar manufacturing ecosystems are under the steel‑steel makers’ hood.

    Take 1 – The Handset Hawks

    • China dominates smartphone production.
    • Every new model starts its life down in Shenzhen.

    Take 2 – The Sky‑High eVTOL Revolution

    • Vertical take‑offs are no longer a sci‑fi dream.
    • Chinese firms are polishing prototypes faster than a DJ drops a beat.

    Take 3 – Photon Power
