A | BRUSSELS -- A European Union decision on whether to authorize the use of the controversial chemical herbicide glyphosate in the 27-nation bloc for at least 10 more years was delayed for a month after member countries failed to agree on Friday.The chemical, which is widely used in the 27-nation bloc, is approved on the EU market until mid-December. Representatives of the EU’s executive arm and member countries voted Friday in favor of renewing its authorization until 2033, despite protests from environmental groups. But to be adopted, the 10-year extension proposed by the European Commission required a “qualified majority,” defined as 55% of the 27 members representing at least 65% of the total EU population of some 450 million people. Several member states abstained, and that was not achieved. The European Commission is now expected to amend its proposal before another vote takes place next month. Ultimately, if no consensus is found, the Commission will have the final say.Green members of the European Parliament welcomed the delay and urged member states to vote for a complete ban of glyphosate.“It is irresponsible to again renew the authorization of the use of glyphosate,” said Bas Eickhout, the vice-chair of the Parliament's environment committee. "This would give the big agri a blank check to earn billions by selling a pesticide for which there are still big gaps in knowledge about the effects on our health, and at the same time poses large risks for European biodiversity.”Over the past decade, glyphosate, used in products like the weedkiller Roundup, has been at the heart of heated scientific debate about whether it causes cancer and its possible disruptive effect on the environment. The chemical was introduced by Monsanto in 1974 as an effective way of killing weeds while leaving crops and plants intact.The France-based International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the World Health Organization, classified it as a “probable human carcinogen” in 2015. The EU’s food safety agency had paved the way for the 10-year extension when it said in July it “did not identify critical areas of concern” in the use of glyphosate. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found in 2020 that the herbicide did not pose a health risk to people, but a federal appeals court in California ordered the agency last year to reexamine that ruling, saying it wasn’t supported by enough evidence.EU member states are responsible for authorizing the use of products including the chemical on their national markets, following a safety evaluation.In France, President Emmanuel Macron had committed to ban glyphosate before 2021 but has since backpedaled. Germany, the EU's biggest economy, plans to stop using it from next year, but the decision could be challenged. Luxembourg’s national ban, for instance, was overturned in court earlier this year.Greenpeace had called on the EU to reject the market reapproval, citing studies indicating that glyphosate may cause cancer and other health problems and could also be toxic to bees. The agroindustry sector, however, claims there are no viable alternatives.“Whatever the final decision that emerges from this re-authorization process, there is one reality that member states will have to face up to,” said Copa-Cogeca, a group representing farmers and agricultural cooperatives. “There is as of yet no equivalent alternative to this herbicide, and without it, many agricultural practices, notably soil conservation, would be rendered complex, leaving farmers with no solutions.”。
勇士前锋德雷蒙德-格林在最新一期《绿说体育》播客节目中，谈到勒布朗-詹姆斯新赛季圣诞大战的赛程安排时，半开玩笑地将功劳归于联盟总裁亚当·萧华。
NBA官方此前公布了2026-27赛季圣诞大战的完整对阵，其中费城76人将在客场挑战洛杉矶湖人，这也将是詹姆斯加盟76人后首次以客队球员身份回到斯台普斯中心（或更名后的球馆）对阵老东家。

格林在节目中表示：“圣诞大战，下午5点，我们有76人客场挑战湖人。萧华帮了勒布朗·詹姆斯一个大忙，他说，‘嘿，兄弟，你要把天赋带到费城了。我让你回家打圣诞大战。

格林的言论虽是调侃，但也反映了圣诞大战作为NBA赛季最具话题性的常规赛舞台，其对阵安排往往兼顾商业价值与故事性。詹姆斯以76人球员身份重返洛杉矶，无疑将成为圣诞节当天最受关注的焦点之一。
对于76人而言，球队新赛季拥有詹姆斯、恩比德、布朗和马克西组成的核心阵容，他们将在新赛季首场全国直播的焦点战中直面外界的检验。而对于湖人球迷来说，这也将是他们第一次在主场以对手身份迎接这位曾为球队带来总冠军的传奇球员。
