Enlightened racism?
What if the racism that has engendered the recent waves of protest around the globe is historically indebted to Enlightenment commitments of the kind held by eighteenth-century philosopher David Hume?

Britain goes coal free as renewables edge out fossil fuels
Britain is about to pass a significant landmark - at midnight on Wednesday it will have gone two full months without burning coal to generate power. A decade ago about 40% of the country's electricity came from coal; coronavirus is part of the story, but far from all. When Britain went into lockdown, electricity demand plummeted; the National Grid responded by taking power plants off the network. The four remaining coal-fired plants were among the first to be shut down. The last coal generator came off the system at midnight on 9 April. No coal has been burnt for electricity since.

‘Time to tell the truth’ on Chinese disinformation, Jourova says
The European Commission has come out with an unambiguous message against China’s efforts to spread disinformation related to the coronavirus outbreak in Europe. It is the first time the EU executive has publicly called out China for its role in spreading fake news. A communication on ‘Tackling COVID-19 disinformation’ was presented by Commission Vice-President Věra Jourová and High Representative Josep Borrell on Wednesday (10 June), in which foreign actors such as Russia and China were named and shamed for their role in propagating coronavirus-related fake news.
