Turkiye, Britain sign accord allowing Ankara to be a user of Eurofighter jets

ISTANBUL: Turkiye and Britain have signed a memorandum of understanding to allow Ankara to be a user of Eurofighter Typhoon fighters, in a big step toward securing the procurement of the jets over which Turkiye has been negotiating for years. Turkiye has been in talks to purchase 40 of the jets, which are built by a consortium of Germany, Britain, Italy and Spain, represented by Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo. Earlier, the Spiegel magazine reported that Germany had also cleared the way for the delivery of 40 jets to Turkiye, following a positive decision by the federal security council.

⚠️ Real Madrid and Benfica reach agreement for Álvaro Carreras

Real Madrid is on the verge of closing a new signing for its defense after yesterday's debacle in the Club World Cup. According to an exclusive revelation by transfer specialist journalist Fabrizio Romano, the white club has reached a verbal agreement with Benfica to incorporate young Spanish full-back Álvaro Carreras. "EXCL: Álvaro Carreras to Real Madrid, here we go! Verbal agreement in place between Real and Benfica", Romano posted on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, giving the green light to an operation that has been carefully negotiated between the two entities. The agreement contemplates the payment of 50 million euros million euros, although not in a single payment. Romano has specified that Real Madrid has managed to modify the initial single payment clause, and will pay the amount in several installments. This allows the whites to maintain greater financial flexibility while strengthening their squad with one of the most promising defenders in European football. Carreras, 22, has shone at Benfica this season, consolidating himself as one of the key pieces in the Lisbon team's defense and gaining notoriety in the European scene. The signing represents a bet on the future by Real Madrid, which continues with its policy of incorporating young talent with a future, following recent successes such as those of Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and Arda Güler.

Merz, Macron to Discuss Fighter Jet Leadership

00:00 German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron are set to meet in Berlin to address escalating tensions over the Future Combat Air System jet program. The dispute centers on a leadership tussle between the two main defense contractors, France's Dassault Aviation and Airbus. Let's talk to Bloomberg's Benedict Kammel, who leads our global aviation coverage. What then, Benny, is this dispute all about? Well, it's really between Airbus on the one side, which sort of broadly represent the German side. And on the other side, you have Dassault representing the French side. And the question really is who is going to lead this program? They did have an agreement saying we want it to be broadly equal as a third company in this Indra, of Spain. So the idea was let's have sort of equal share of this program, the future aircraft combat system. So but then Dassault came out and said we would like to have a leadership role in this. The reason being we make the Rafale fighter jet. We know a thing or two about building these. We should really be in control. We can't be some sort of a happy socialist union here. We need to have one party in control, and that's us. That obviously didn't sit well with Airbus. All of this broke into the open last month at the Paris Air Show. So you had Airbus on the one side saying, why are we relitigating this whole issue? We thought we'd had an agreement. This is really tiring. Then on the other side, you had Dassault coming out and saying, well, this is the way it should be. Take it our way, or we might even walk away from the whole program. So this is where we're at right now. So you're bringing the adults in, as it were, you bringing in the political leadership and saying, guys, you need to sort this out, you need to sort this out. It's Europe at stake. It's one of the key programs at stake. And hopefully today and in the next couple of weeks, they will find some kind of an agreement.
