Hanoi's 2030 Fossil Fuel Ban Offers a Blueprint European Green Cities Are Watching

Hanoi has announced a full ban on fossil fuel motorbikes within its city centre, set to take effect in 2030. The bold regulatory move places the Vietnamese capital alongside European urban sustainability pioneers, raising questions about what dense, traffic-saturated cities can achieve when policy ambition meets political will. For European planners grappling with similar transitions, Hanoi's approach is both instructive and sobering.

Late-2026 Biotech Catalyst Season: FDA Decisions and Pivotal Readouts Converge Across Oncology, Hepatology and Cardiometabolic

Mid-November 2026 is dense with scheduled biotech catalysts. The ivonescimab BLA PDUFA date is 2026-11-14, the lorundrostat PDUFA date is 2026-12-22, and Phase 3 ECLIPSE hepatitis delta data are due in Q1 2027. Alongside these, siRNA and antibody programs (plozasiran, elebsiran/tobevibart, ianalumab, nipocalimab) reported or presented data at AHA, AASLD, ACR and ASH, while Oryzon advanced iadademstat in AML with Spanish trial authorizations and a planned ALICE-3 Phase III. Late-stage data and regulatory milestones are driving the sentiment. A planned delisting (EGM 2026-11-19, application 2027-01-25) is a separate corporate-structure event with no clear link to the rest.

Where sources disagree

Ford Motor Company

Both facts give cash for Ford Motor Company at the same point in time (2025-12-31; FY 2025 year-end and Q4 2025 year-end are the same date). Both are labelled USD, but the values are 23,356,000,000 and 23.356, which cannot both be true in USD. The two numbers agree once the second is read as billions (23.356 bn = 23,356,000,000), so the economic content is consistent and the conflict is a unit/scale error in the Q4 2025 record. The period is not the reason for the conflict: a Q4 and an FY figure at the same year-end date should match.
