SAUDI ARABIA PREFERS AIRBUS, NOT BOEING
Boeing has been usurped by its European rival Airbus in a lucrative new deal with the Saudi Arabia carrier Flyadeal. The beleaguered U.S. company lost a $5.5b deal to sell its 737 MAX jetliners to Flydeal after the carrier opted to purchase up to 50 Airbus A320neo planes instead. The move by the discount carrier is “one of the first tangible signs” that Boeing’s crisis is likely to encourage its rivals to strongly consider

TRAIN TUNNELS TO HEAT/COOL THOUSANDS OF HOMES
Swiss researchers have developed a method that could use the hot air in train tunnels to heat (or cool) thousands of homes. A series of plastic pipes filled with transfer fluid or cold water would be installed along train passages — as passing trains warm those pipes, energy would be produced in the form of a hot liquid. A 645,000 square foot area of lined tunnels could potentially supply enough energy to heat 1,500 homes,

E.U. LETS IN MORE HORMONE-FREE BEEF FROM U.S.
The EU has reached a deal to give the US a larger share of Europe’s beef market. The agreement means the US will now secure a guaranteed 18,500 tonnes of the 45,000-tonne quota for hormone-free beef, with that number rising to 35,000 tonnes after seven years. It will reduce the amount of the quota other suppliers like Australia, Uruguay and Argentina can compete for, but could help defuse trade tensions between the US and Europe.

СЕКС, НАРКОТИКИ І ПОЛІТИКА В УГОРЩИНІ
Янош Секі, Radio Lemberg Hungary, 15.10.2019   Два тижні тому в Угорщині відбулись муніципальні вибори. Їхні результати стали справжнім сюрпризом практично для всіх, зокрема і  для урядової партії і для опозиції. «Fidesz», авторитарна партія влади, яка мала дві третини у парламенті, тобто конституційну більшість, втратила Будапешт та ще половину середніх міст в цій країні.  Насправді, результат є цікавим лише з психологічної точки зору, хоч і став справді важливим. В Угорщині, країні з надмірною централізацією, місцеві органи влади не представляють інтереси своїх громадян, а виконують роль привідного ремня центрального уряду, ба з деякими винятками. Школи, лікарні та більшість культурних установ не контролюються органами місцевого самоврядування. І коли в регіонах та містах не залишається жодного форинта з податків на доходи фізичних осіб, головним їхнім джерелом прибутку (якщо не враховувати субсидій з центрального бюджету) є податок, який стягують з бізнесу, від найбільших компаній до самозайнятих індивідів. Тобто, що меншим та біднішим є місто, то залежнішим воно є від центрального уряду Орбана.  Хоч опозиція і планувала «відвоювати» усі міста, зокрема і Будапешт, нові мери матимуть зовсім мало свободи дій у цій системі. Місцеві вибори по суті є лише великим опитуванням думки громадян, де ця перемога може дати надію суперникам «Fidesz», яким дуже не вистачає політичних перемог ще з 2008 року.  Багато опозиціонерів пояснюють перемогу на місцевих виборах їхньою стратегією, яка є трохи схожою на так зване «розумне голосування» Навального — в більшості міст опозиційні партії підтримали спільного кандидата.    Фактично це те, чого Віктор Орбан і хотів, коли його команда розробляла «Закон про вибори» 2013 року, який грав на користь найбільшої, неважливо якої, партії навіть більше, ніж це робив попередній закон, розроблений у 1989 році.

SEX AND DRUGS AND POLITICS IN HUNGARY
János Széky, Radio Lemberg Hungary, 15.10.2019  On Sunday the municipal elections were held in Hungary. The results were a surprise for everybody, the government's side and the opposition alike. Fidesz, the authoritarian governing party, which has a two-thirds (that's constitutional majority in the Parliament) lost Budapest and a half of the medium-sized cities.    To tell the truth, the outcome has only psychological significance; but that proved to be momentous. In Hungary's over-centralized state, with few exceptions, the local governments are little more than transmission belts of the central government rather than the representation bodies of their citizens. Schools, hospitals, most of the cultural institutions are not under their control; and with not a single Forint of personal income taxes remaining in the regions or towns, their main source of income (apart from central budget subsidies) is a tax levied on businesses, from the biggest companies to self-employed individuals. It means the smaller and poorer a place is, the more dependent it is on the Orbán government.   Although the goal of the opposition was to “retake” the cities, including Budapest, the new mayors would only have a minimal leeway in this system. Local elections serve merely as huge public opinion polls, where victories can at least give hope to the non-Fidesz side, which painfully lacked real political successes since at least 2008.    Many people in the opposition hailed local victories now as the result of a strategy, which was a bit similar to Navalny's "smart votes" – in most places opposition parties backed a single joint candidate. Actually this is what Hungary's strongman Viktor Orbán wanted, when his staff designed the Electoral Act of 2013, which was even more in favor of the largest party, whichever it may be, than the previous one, designed in 1989. “Give up your party

ВОСЕНИ 2018 РОКУ АДВОКАТ ТРАМПА ОТРИМАВ $500,000 ВІД ЛЕВА ПАРНАСА, НЕЩОДАВНО АРЕШТОВАНОГО ЗА ІНОЗЕМНЕ ВТРУЧАННЯ В АМЕРИКАНСЬКІ ВИБОРИ
Karen Freifeld, Aram Roston, Reuters, 14.10.2019  Руді Джуліані, особистому адвокату Дональда Трампа, заплатили $500,000 за ”роботу для компанії“, співвласником якої був українсько-американський бізнесмен, заарештований минулого тижня за звинуваченнями у фінансових махінаціях для передвиборчої кампанії (про це сам Джуліані розповів Reuters у понеділок).    Бізнесмен Лев Парнас, близький друг Джуліані, був причетним до його спроб ініціювати розслідування проти політичного суперника Трампа, колишнього віце-президента Джо Байдена, який є головним кандидатом від Демократичної партії на президентських виборах 2020 року.    Джуліані заявив, що "Fraud Guarantee" — компанія Парнаса у місті Бока Ратон, на веб-сайті якої вказано, що її метою є допомога клієнтам «зменшити та стримати шахрайство», запросила консультантів з менеджменту і безпеки від «Giuliani Partners» приблизно у серпні 2018 року. Джуліані стверджує, що його найняли консультувати «Fraud Guarantee» у питаннях технологій та надавати юридичні консультації щодо управління.    Федеральні прокурори «вивчають контакти Джуліані» з Парнасом та іншим другом пана Джуліані, Ігором Фруманом, якого теж звинувачено у фінансових махінаціях для передвиборчої кампанії. Про це Reuters у неділю повідомило джерело у органах правопорядку.   Минулого тижня у виданні The New York Times з’явилася інформація, що Парнас поінформував колег, що він заплатив Джуліані сотні тисяч доларів за те, що сам Джуліані назвав «порадами стосовно ведення бізнесу та юридичними консультаціями». У понеділок Джуліані вперше назвав загальну суму оплати – $500,000.   Джуліані також розповів Reuters, що кошти надійшли двома платежами з тижневим інтервалом. За його словами, він не може пригадати дат отримання платежів. Як сказав Джуліані, більшість роботи, яку він зробив для компанії

ОФШОРНІ ФІРМИ З ВКРАДЕНИМИ ЯНУКОВИЧЕМ ГРІШМИ КУПУВАЛИ НАПАРНИКИ АДВОКАТА ТРАМПА
Will Jordan, Al Jazeera, 12.10.2019    Сємьон Кіслін (на головній світлині), бізнес-партнер Дональда Трампа, має 14 жовтня надати свідчення під час допиту у справі імпічменту американського президента. Кіслін намагався заволодіти мільйонами доларів, які українські прокурори оголосили вкраденими, повідомляє Al Jazeera.   Кіслін є давнім другом особистого адвоката Трампа – Руді Джуліані. Ще протягом 1990-х років цей народжений в Україні бізнесмен робив пожертви на політичні кампанії Джуліані.  У січні минулого року Кіслін лобіював колишнього посла США в Україні, Марі Йованович, аби вона допомогла йому розморозити мільйони доларів, які арештували під час великого кримінального розслідування.  Це стало відомим тоді, коли The New York Times розповіла, що федеральні слідчі ведуть розслідування спроб Джуліані позбутися Йованович як частини ширшої кампанії примусу України до допомоги Трампові.  Комітет Конґресу США розпочав процедуру імпічменту Трампа після появи доказів президентського лобіювання України для розслідування діяльності Гантера Байдена в раді правління української газової компанії Burisma.   Його батько, Джо Байден, є головним суперником Трампа від Демократичної партії США на президентських виборах 2020 року, і він же був спеціальним уповноваженим з українських питань у колишнього президента США, Барака Обами.   ОЛІГАРХИ   Схему з отримання мільйонів доларів зі заморожених банківських рахунків вперше викрила Команда Розслідувань Al Jazeera у 2018, а тепер Al Jazeera може висвітлити роль Кісліна у схожій схемі.   83-річний Кіслін придбав кіпрську фіктивну компанію, що зберігала частину з $1,500,000,000 у вигляді готівки та облігацій, які за вироком українського суду від 2015 року визнали вкраденими колишнім президентом-злочинцем Віктором Януковичем (ще до його втечі з України у 2014 році).   Розслідування Al
