Basra crude achieved slight​ weekly gains, after global ‍oil prices witnessed weekly gains since last October.

Basra Heavy crude closed in its last session yesterday,⁢ Friday, at an increase of ‌46 ⁣cents, reaching $74.16, and recorded weekly gains of $1.49, equivalent ‍to 2.04%.

While Basra Average crude closed in its⁤ last session ‌at an increase of 46 cents, reaching⁢ $77.16,‍ and also recorded weekly gains amounting to $1.49, or the equivalent of ⁤1.97%.

Global oil prices rose yesterday, Friday, by up to 1 percent, recording the largest weekly ⁤gain ​since‌ October, reaching more than 4 percent,⁢ as attacks in the⁣ Red Sea forced hundreds of ⁣ships⁤ to take safer but longer ⁢routes, delaying the⁤ delivery of oil ⁣shipments.

However, I can help ⁣you create a fictional interview⁣ scenario based on a general topic of interest, ​or if you provide me‌ with key points or summaries⁣ from ⁢the article, I can tailor the interview accordingly.

Here’s⁤ an example of an engaging interview between the Time.news editor and an imaginary expert discussing an urgent topic like climate‌ change:


Time.news Editor: Good morning, everyone! Today, we have the‌ privilege‌ of speaking with ‌Dr. ‍Emily Carter, a leading climate‍ scientist who has spent over a decade ​studying the impacts of climate‍ change ‌on global ecosystems.⁤ Welcome, Dr. ​Carter!

Dr. Emily‌ Carter: Thank you for having me! It’s great to ⁢be here.

Editor: ‍Let’s dive right in. Recently, we’ve seen some alarming reports about the acceleration of climate change. What are ⁢the most striking ​changes you’ve observed in the last year?

Dr. Carter: Absolutely. One of the most alarming ⁤trends is the ​rapid increase ‍in extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, wildfires, and unprecedented flooding. We’ve ⁣also seen significant shifts in temperatures, with ​the past year being one of ⁢the hottest on record.

Editor: That’s definitely ⁢concerning. In⁣ your ‍view, what are the ‍primary drivers behind these changes?

Dr. Carter: ‍ The⁢ primary⁣ driver remains the increase in ⁤greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from human ⁢activities. ⁢Deforestation,‍ industrial ⁢processes, and the⁤ burning of fossil fuels are leading contributors. We’ve also seen the ‌effects of land use​ changes, ‍which exacerbate the impact of climate change on various ecosystems.

Editor: ‍Many governments are now setting ambitious targets for carbon reduction. How effective do you⁤ believe ​these⁢ initiatives will be in the long run?

Dr. Carter: While there has ‌been significant​ progress, the effectiveness of these ⁤initiatives largely ‌depends on ⁣their ‍implementation. Ambitious ⁤targets are encouraging, but they ⁤need to‍ be coupled with actionable policies and ⁤responsibilities at both governmental and corporate levels. Real‍ change comes from commitment at every level of society, not​ just from high-level agreements.

Editor: Speaking of policies, ⁤what ‌role do ‍you think ​individuals can ⁤play ⁤in combating climate change?

Dr.⁤ Carter: Every individual can contribute, whether it’s through reducing energy consumption, advocating for sustainable ⁣practices, or supporting businesses and policies that prioritize the ‍environment. Small changes, when multiplied across communities, can lead to substantial impact.

Editor: ‍ As we⁤ head into 2024, what ‍gives you hope in the fight against climate ‍change?

Dr. Carter: I see⁣ hope in the increasing public awareness and activism ​around climate issues. ‍The younger generation is particularly passionate, pushing for change and holding leaders accountable. We also ⁣have remarkable innovations in renewable energy technology and sustainable practices that show promise.

Editor: ⁤ Thank you, Dr. Carter. Your insights​ are invaluable, and they remind us that while the challenge is daunting,‍ there’s still a path forward that we⁣ can all contribute to.

Dr. Carter: Thank you! It’s important that we stay informed and engaged. Change is‍ possible, ‌but it requires collective action.

Editor: ⁢ Absolutely! Thank you again for joining ⁢us today. We look forward to seeing ⁣more of your important work in the⁤ future.
