But the policy tools are blunt and work with a lag: The interest rate increases taking place will need months to filter out across the global economy and take full effect. The aggressiveness of the monetary policy action now underway pushes central banks into new and risky territory. By tightening quickly and simultaneously when growth in China and Europe is already slowing and supply chain pressures are easing, global central banks risk overdoing it and causing deeper recessions, some economists warn. The Bank of England raised interest rates half a point to 2.25 percent yesterday, even as it said Britain might already be in a recession. The European Central Bank is similarly expected to continue raising rates at its meeting in October to combat high inflation, even though Russia’s war in Ukraine is throwing Europe’s economy into turmoil. Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines, South Africa and Norway have also lifted rates. The cost of inflation: The longer inflation continues apace, the greater the risk that it will become a permanent feature of the economy, affecting employment contracts and prices for the long term. The yen: After the Japanese currency lost over 20 percent of its value against the dollar over the past year, the government [intervened to prop up its value](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlD8KXP0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8wOS8yMi9idXNpbmVzcy9qYXBhbi15ZW4tY3VycmVuY3kuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMjA5MjMmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NzI2OTQmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTA3ODU5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpjIpc9LWMkuL57Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

Mothers, wives and children said tearful goodbyes as men were marched to buses and planes for training — and perhaps soon to the front in Ukraine. Russian officials said the call-up would be limited to people with combat experience. But the net appeared wider, and some men decided it was best to head for the borders. Military-age men clogged airports and border crossings trying to flee, and some ended up in distant cities like Istanbul and Namangan, Uzbekistan. The escalation of the war effort has reverberated across Russia. Historians said it was the first time since World War II that the Kremlin had declared a wartime mobilization. Officials in Russia are still referring to the invasion as a “special military operation,” rather than a war. First person: One 23-year-old bought a plane ticket to Istanbul, wrapped up his business and kissed his crying mother goodbye — all within about 12 hours of Putin’s announcement. He said he had no idea when he would return. “I was sitting and thinking about what I could die for, and I didn’t see any reason to die for the country,” he said.

At a New York Times event this week, Malpass would not say whether he accepted that man-made emissions had created a worsening climate crisis. “I’m not a scientist,” he said. The World Bank aims to reduce poverty by lending money to poor nations to improve their economies and living standards at favorable loan terms. There is growing pressure on the bank to do more to help countries facing climate disasters, and to move away from financing new oil and gas projects.

For over 150 years, people have dreamed of high-speed travel via pneumatic vacuum tubes, allowing them to shoot underground from one place to the next. A more sophisticated form of this technology, known since the 2010s as the hyperloop, promised something still more ambitious: transportation not just of a few blocks, but also between cities. While companies have raised hundreds of millions of dollars to design and construct hyperloop systems, the technology remains an aspiration, and transportation analysts say the industry faces major difficulties. The main issue? Infrastructure. A hyperloop system would require constructing miles-long systems of tubes and stations, acquiring rights of way, adhering to government regulations, and avoiding changes to the ecology along its routes. A passenger-viable system would also cost considerably more than a cargo-centric one, to avoid discomfort and ensure safety, including avoiding the risk of sabotage or a system failure causing a catastrophic loss of pressure or a lack of oxygen for those traveling.
