just now (747+ words) EU leaders gather in Brussels Thursday for a make-or-break summit on using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine -- with key player Belgium under pressure to drop its opposition. The 27-nation bloc is scrambling to strengthen Kyiv's hand as Russia's war drags towards the four-year mark and US President Donald Trump pushes for a quick deal to end the fighting. Officials have insisted the talks will last as long as it takes to hammer out an agreement, saying both Ukraine's survival and Europe's credibility are at stake. "If we do not succeed in this, then the European Union's ability to act will be severely damaged for years," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned this week. "We will show the world that we are incapable of standing together and acting at such a crucial moment in our history." The EU estimates Ukraine, whose president…...

1+ min ago (415+ words) The fatal stabbing of Alberto Rangel, a 51-year-old social worker at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, earlier this month has brought to light long-standing concerns regarding security at the hospital, which serves as the city's largest public healthcare facility. Despite numerous warnings from whistleblowers and sanctions from state regulators over the past years, the tragedy has laid bare the urgent need for enhanced safety and security measures. Interviews conducted by the San Francisco Chronicle with more than a dozen current and former hospital employees, labor advocates, and sheriff's office personnel reveal that before Rangel's murder the staff had repeatedly flagged unsafe conditions and raised alarms about "high-risk" patients and frequent assaults on workers. The fatal incident involving Rangel seemed almost inevitable to many within the hospital, given the history of reported violence. However, Tsai noted that overhauling security will require…...

3+ min ago (366+ words) President Christine Lagarde has said at recent meetings that monetary policy remains "in a good place" with the benchmark deposit rate at 2%. Analysts expect that language or something similar to be repeated at her news conference after the decision by the bank's rate-setting council. The bank last cut rates at its June meeting. Surveys of purchasing managers by S&P Global slipped slightly for December but still showed business activity expanding as the year comes to an end, reinforcing expectations that the 20 countries using the euro currency will continue to see growth of around 0.3% per quarter over the previous quarter, said Adrian Prettejohn, Europe economist at Capital Economics. That outcome is better than feared during turbulent trade negotiations with the United States over the summer, which finally settled with a 15% tariff, or import tax, imposed on European goods by U.S. President…...

3+ min ago (532+ words) FRANKFURT " The European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged Thursday for the fourth meeting in a row as the economy in the 20 countries that use the euro increasingly looks strong enough to get by without the stimulus of lower borrowing costs for businesses and consumers. The bank's rate-setting council left the benchmark deposit rate unchanged at 2%, where it has been since a rate cut in June. Economists now think the rate could stay there for months - and possibly into 2027. That's because the ECB remains poised between inflation that's just a bit too persistent and growth that's underwhelming but steady after a trade deal with the US remove some of the uncertainty that had held back business planning. Higher rates fight inflation while cuts support growth. The bank said in a statement following the decision that economic growth "is expected to…...
