EU court adviser sides with regulators in Google's fight against EU antitrust fine
BRUSSELS (Reuters) -An adviser to Europe's highest court on Thursday sided with EU antitrust regulators in Alphabet unit Google's fight against a record 4.3-billion-euro ($4.93 billion) fine levied on the U.S. tech giant by EU antitrust regulators seven years ago.
"Advocate General Kokott proposes that the Court of Justice dismiss Google's appeal and, therefore, that it confirm the new fine of 4.124 billion euros set by the General Court," the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union said.
Judges, who usually follow four out of five such non-binding opinions, will rule in the coming months.
The case is C-738/22 P Google and Alphabet v Commission.

2 defensive shares for investors to consider for passive income in 2025
Generating passive income takes more work than many investors might think. I think the key is to pick high-quality dividend shares that can deliver regular income and weather any economic storms in the long run. That's why I've picked out two reliable dividend payers in the FTSE 100 that I think are worth considering for those investors trying to build a steady second income. Unilever (LSE: ULVR) is known as a reliable defensive dividend payer in the Footsie. The company has a wide portfolio with household brands including Dove and Magnum. This gives it global reach and steady demand even when the economy weakens. With a share price of £46.34 as I write on 18 June, the stock is trading on a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 18.3. That's a touch higher than the Footsie average but I'd expect to pay a slight premium for defensive stocks. The company's 3.2% dividend yield makes it one worth considering. On top of that, I liked the company's full-year results announced in February, showing underlying sales growth of 1.9% and a 12.6% increase in profit. It's not all upside of course. Sluggish demand in emerging markets like Indonesia and China poses a risk to future growth. Of course, competition is fierce and margins remain tight while the company tries to keep up with ever-shifting consumer tastes. Still, for those seeking income with a defensive tilt, Unilever's consistency and dividend history are hard to ignore. Diageo (LSE: DGE) is another name that I think is worth investors considering for income. The company has a large portfolio of alcoholic beverages including Johnnie Walker and Guinness. The stock currently trades at around £19 at the time of writing, with a forward P/E ratio of around 15 and a dividend yield of 4.1%. Diageo's premium spirits segment makes up a significant chunk of its portfolio, which adds resilience in the event of further economic weakness. What about the risks? Recent weakness in Latin America and sluggish performance in the US has spooked some investors and contributed to a 25% decline in the company's share price over the past 12 months. Investors are also concerned by falling alcohol demand as the market for non-alcoholic options continues to grow. While I wouldn't expect enormous future revenue growth, I think Diageo's sheer size and ability to pivot towards trends in the beverage sector could deliver in the long run. The company has a diversified portfolio of top-tier brands, which underpins its ability to weather the economic cycle and deliver a steady long-term passive income stream. There are numerous quality dividend shares for investors to choose from. I believe in long-term investing and looking for opportunities to generate a steady second income. Defensive sectors like consumer staples can help to achieve this by being less susceptible to cyclical changes in consumer demand compared to companies in sectors like construction or leisure. However, that often means they can come at a higher cost with this perceived 'safety premium' reflected in the price. I think both Unilever and Diageo are large, well-established companies that hold strong market positions. I think that makes them worth considering as part of a diversified portfolio for investors seeking to build a long-term passive income.

Aurora Cannabis says AI-generated news reports of $215M deal and new partnership are 'entirely false'
Aurora Cannabis ( is denying the validity of multiple news reports published on Wednesday. One claims the Canadian pot company is acquiring a New Zealand-based cannabis producer in a $215 million cash and stock deal. Another announces a partnership to distribute medical cannabis in Europe. 'Neither of these stories are true in any way. This is entirely false information,' Aurora's vice-president of communications and public relations Michelle Lefler stated in an email to Yahoo Finance Canada on Thursday. 'I can confirm we take this situation very seriously and are taking the appropriate actions.' Toronto-listed Aurora shares fell more than 20 per cent on Wednesday, despite the Edmonton-based company reporting strong financial results in its most recent quarter before the opening bell. A story posted on the website says Aurora 'announced today the acquisition of MedLeaf Therapeutics, a specialized medical cannabis producer, for $215 million in a cash and stock transaction.' The article, which says it was generated with the support of artificial intelligence and reviewed by an editor, quotes Aurora CEO Miguel Martin, and cites filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A separate article appearing on published Wednesday, also quoting Martin and citing SEC filings, references a new strategic partnership between Aurora and European pharmaceutical distributor MediPharm GmbH to expand its medical cannabis presence in Germany and other EU markets.

Tanzania opens up airspace to foreign airlines after EU ban
The government of Tanzania has granted temporary traffic rights to international airlines in response to the European Union's recent ban on all Tanzanian-registered aircraft. Tanzania has granted temporary traffic rights to international airlines to mitigate the effects of a recent EU ban on Tanzanian-registered aircraft. This measure, valid for six months, ensures continuity in travel, tourism, and trade. The EU ban affects only Tanzanian-registered aircraft; internationally registered airlines remain unaffected. This interim measure, valid for six months, seeks to bridge the gap left by the ban and ensure continuity in travel, tourism, and trade. According to a statement from the Tanzania Civil Aviation Authority (TCAA), the decision was made 'to safeguard tourism, business continuity, and international mobility through various facilitative measures.' As part of the initiative, Ethiopian Airlines and Qatar Airways have been granted extended rights to operate additional routes connecting key Tanzanian destinations, the TCAA confirmed. EU ban does not affect all carriers In a clarification issued by the TCAA Director-General, travellers were assured that the European Union's restrictions apply only to aircraft registered in Tanzania and do not impact airlines that are certified or registered in other countries. 'Following the European Union's announcement regarding the inclusion of some Tanzanian-registered carriers on the EU Air Safety List, the TCAA has undertaken several steps to maintain uninterrupted air travel to and from Tanzania,' the statement read. The authority emphasised that internationally registered carriers operating in Tanzania remain unaffected and are not under the jurisdiction of Tanzanian regulators, thereby maintaining normal service. Tanzania urges travellers not to cancel plans In light of the EU announcement, the TCAA has advised international travellers not to cancel their bookings to Tanzanian destinations. Instead, it reassured the public of the country's ongoing accessibility and commitment to high safety standards. 'Tanzania remains open and accessible. The aviation sector continues to operate in accordance with international safety and regulatory standards,' the statement stressed. Codeshare flexibility for local carriers To minimise disruptions, the TCAA has introduced regulatory flexibility, allowing Tanzanian-registered airlines to operate in collaboration with foreign airlines through codeshare agreements or block permit arrangements. These partnerships will ensure continued domestic and regional connectivity. Meanwhile, the TCAA is actively engaging stakeholders across the aviation and tourism sectors—including local operators and development partners—to coordinate a unified response to the ban and limit its impact on the travelling public. Talks with EU underway The Ministry of Transport, through the TCAA, has also initiated diplomatic dialogue with the European Union in an effort to resolve the safety concerns raised and ultimately secure the removal of Tanzania from the EU Air Safety List.
