France says talks with China failed to solve cognac dispute
PARIS (Reuters) -Talks between China and France on Thursday failed to end a dispute between the two countries over cognac tariffs, French Finance Minister Eric Lombard said, although he added the door was open for further discussions. After trade tensions flared between Beijing and Brussels, China began an anti-dumping investigation into European Union brandy in January. It was extended in April, giving EU exporters more time to find a way to avoid Chinese penalties. "At this stage, the economic dialogue has not led to a definitive solution to this dispute," Lombard told journalists after wide-ranging talks with visiting Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng at the finance ministry in Paris. "I know, having discussed it at length with His Excellency, that the door to discussion remains open," he added. In France, the Chinese anti-dumping probe is regarded as retaliation for Paris' support for EU tariffs on imports of Chinese electric vehicles. "The investigating authorities will make a decision on the basis of investigation in accordance with laws and regulations and on the basis of the facts," He said. Chinese official news agency Xinhua's readout of the meeting focused on He speaking about China's readiness to "enrich bilateral economic and financial cooperation" and create a good trade and investment environment with France. Cognac lobby, the National Interprofessional Bureau of Cognac, said in a statement the absence of an agreement could have "catastrophic effects" on its industry and region, saying that every day that passed without a resolution was painful. "We expect full mobilisation of our government to avoid the definitive imposition of these tariffs on July 5," it said. Separately, the French agriculture ministry said the two countries had signed two protocols to formalise an agreement to allow unaffected regions to continue poultry exports in the event of a bird flu outbreak in France, and to provide access for French poultry to the Chinese market.

Jona Vaughan's closure rumours denied despite hardships
AFTER rumours that the Jona Vaughan Home for the Handicapped in Amanzimtoti might be closed down and its residents transferred to other facilities, the home's parents' association said it fears another Life Esidimeni tragedy might unfold if that is allowed to happen. Also read: Grim festive season for Jona Vaughan staff The Life Esidimeni tragedy involved the deaths of 144 patients at psychiatric facilities in Gauteng from causes including starvation and neglect. The patients died after they were removed from Life Esidimeni, a private healthcare provider, in 2016, and relocated to cheaper care centres. The Jona Vaughan Home for the Handicapped is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing care and residency to 69 handicapped persons, 40% of whom are abandoned or orphaned. The centre is administered by Durban and Coastal Mental Health (DCMH), which in turn is funded by the Department of Health and the Department of Social Development. The treasurer of the parents' association, Charmaine Lombard, said she heard from two sources that the Department of Health may consider withdrawing all funding from the end of June. 'There is no other facility like Jona Vaughan to cater for such profound disabilities. If Jona Vaughan were to close its doors, the residents would be moved to facilities outside of Durban. This would be detrimental to our residents as the Jona Vaughan Home is the only home that many of the residents know,' said Lombard. The funding that the facility receives from DCMH is never enough to cover all its day-to-day operating costs, which has led the parents' association to spearhead several fundraising initiatives. Lombard said the staff, whom many of the centre's residents regard as their parents, have not been paid in full since April. The water and electricity bill stands at R1.8 million, and the municipality has issued a notice to disconnect the supply on June 2. 'We feel that these issues are serious and critical and require a long-standing resolution, as we are the voices of the very people who deserve to be treated with care, dignity, kindness and respect. Just because the residents are mentally and physically challenged does not exclude them from the basic human rights they are entitled to,' she said. DCMH's CEO, Mbonisi Sibisi, stated that there have been no discussions regarding the closure of Jona Vaughn; however, an agreement between DCMH and DOH is set to expire in March 2026. 'DCMH has consistent meetings with DOH where we discuss the performance of the centre and other related issues. Our organisation is an NPO and largely depends on subsidies and donations. The subsidy only covers a fraction of the centre's costs,' said Sibisi. He also urged the public to keep supporting Jona Vaughan. How to help: A Back-a-buddy campaign to raise funds for Jona Vaughan Home for the Handicapped has been started. Go to to donate. The home is also hosting a work party on June 7, from 08:00, open to the public who may wish to assist. For more South Coast Sun news, follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Fabregas keen on Roma job, Como oppose his exit
Fabregas has already given his availability to Roma. The new course branded by Dan Friedkin sees him as a key figure in the technical reconstruction of the squad. The former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder has shown full openness to the Giallorossi proposal, so much so that he has already studied the squad and maintained contacts with Ranieri. But the main obstacle remains Como. Advertisement As La Repubblica writes, the Lombard club, with which Fabregas began his career on the bench, does not intend to release him easily. Despite the attempts at mediation put in place by Ghisolfi, the response received from the Como top brass was firm: 'Fabregas is not moving'. Fabregas, for his part, does not intend to force his hand. The bond with Como is deep, and he does not want to compromise the image built in recent months. If he were to stay, he wants to do so without any ruptures, avoiding any gesture that could be interpreted as a summer escape. It is this respect for the club that welcomed him in his first role as coach that is holding back a more decisive action. There will be no ultimatum or public pressure: his will is clear, but Como will have to make the next move.
