Forget planes – it’s time to travel like we did a century ago
Do you hate flying as much as I do? I bet you do. The long trek out to the airport, the queues at security, the wait in the departure lounge, more queueing at the gate, followed by hours squeezed onto a cramped plane and then another wait at immigration.

Tougher U.S. sanctions to curb Russian oil supply to China and India
NEW DELHI/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Chinese and Indian refiners will source more oil from the Middle East, Africa and the Americas, boosting prices and freight costs, as new U.S. sanctions on Russian producers and ships curb supplies to Moscow's top customers, traders and analysts said. The U.S. Treasury on Friday imposed sanctions on Russian oil producers Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, as well as 183 vessels that have shipped Russian oil, targeting the revenues Moscow has used to fund its war with Ukraine. Many of the tankers have been used to ship oil to India and China as Western sanctions and a price cap imposed by the Group of Seven countries in 2022 shifted trade in Russian oil from Europe to Asia.
