IAA Mobility Germany, one of the world's biggest auto shows, is kicking off on Tuesday in Munich. Traditionally a venue for carmakers to show off their latest, sleekest, most powerful models, this year's event promises to be very different. Organisers say the focus will be on "climate neutral mobility". Plus, the UK's main business lobby CBI warns that Britain's ongoing labour shortage could continue for up to two years.
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday that the flooding across western Europe is a clear indication of climate change and urgent action is needed. "It is the intensity and the length of the events that science tells us this is a clear indication of climate change and that this is something that really, really shows the urgency to act," von der Leyen told reporters.
