Netherlands agrees to buy at least 46 Leopard 2A8 tanks from KNDS
The tanks will be delivered between 2028 and 2031 and form part of a push by the Dutch to increase military spending in order to comply with the NATO target of spending at least 2% of GDP on defence.
The new tank battalion, which could be expanded with another six tanks, will be stationed in Germany and include around 500 soldiers, the government said in a statement.

Hong Kong democrat Jimmy Lai trial delayed over heart problems
HONG KONG, August 15 (Reuters) - The closing submissions in a national security trial against Hong Kong pro-democracy businessman Jimmy Lai were delayed on Friday after his lawyer said he had suffered heart palpitations. The closing submissions will recommence on Monday after the court adjourned to allow Lai, 77, to obtain medication and a heart monitor. Lai, who founded the Apple Daily newspaper that was forced to close after a police raid and asset freeze in June 2021, has pleaded not guilty to two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces, and a charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material. Some Western governments, including the U.S., have called for Lai's immediate release, saying the trial is politically motivated under a years-long national security crackdown in the China-ruled financial hub. U.S. President Donald Trump said in a media interview on Thursday that he would "do everything I can to save him."

China's new home price declines persist but narrow modestly in major cities
BEIJING, Aug 15 (Reuters) - China's new home prices declined again in July, falling 0.3% on month, but the drop narrowed slightly in major cities, official data showed on Friday, as more local governments rolled out incentives for homebuying. The month-on-month figure, calculated by Reuters based on data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, extended a weak trend that has persisted since May 2023. Prices fell 0.3% on month in June. Of the 70 cities surveyed, 60 reported month-on-month declines, with the pace of falls slightly narrowing in tier-one cities. On an annual basis, new home prices fell 2.8% in July, versus a 3.2% drop in June. Notably, year-on-year declines are narrowing modestly across tier-one, tier-two, and tier-three cities. Reviving the real estate sector, which in its heyday accounted for roughly a quarter of China's economic activity, is a key task for policymakers as they strive to meet the country's annual GDP growth target of "around 5%" amid domestic and external headwinds. A sustained recovery in the housing market has remained elusive despite multiple rounds of policies to stimulate demand and help qualified developers with their liquidity shortages. The central government has in the past few months continued to call for stabilising the property market, signalling further policy support. An increasing number of local governments have relaxed rules for people to use their provident funds to pay for home purchases. Some also offered subsidies for buying homes. Capital city Beijing in August scrapped curbs for qualified buyers to purchase homes in the city's suburban areas, though it kept the curbs in place within the fifth ring road, a major expressway around the central area.

China's July coal output falls to lowest level in over a year
BEIJING, Aug 15 (Reuters) - China's coal output in July fell to the lowest level since April 2024, data from the statistics bureau showed on Friday, the first year-on-year decline of 2025 in a sign that China's coal output could be easing in response to oversupply. China produced 380.99 million metric tons of coal in July, down 3.8% on the year. Output over the first seven months of the year reached 2.78 billion metric tons, up 3.8% on the back of year-on-year increases during the first six months. Analysts had been closely monitoring whether China would take steps to scale back production and curb oversupply, with expectations mounting that output could begin to decline from the second half of the year. A July 20 document from the energy regulator calling for inspections at coal mines in eight provinces pushed coking coal prices to their trading limit in successive sessions on the expectation of supply disruptions. Although it was not clear that the document represented a coordinated strategy from the central government, it bolstered expectations that supply could be more limited in the second half of the year.
