Like many African countries Ivory Coast generally experiences high temperatures for nearly eight months of the year, forcing many people to rely on air conditioning for comfort. In Abidjan, a metropolis of more than six million inhabitants with rapid urbanization, air conditioners are ubiquitous in offices, hospitals, and shops. They are part of the landscape in many neighborhoods of this economic capital, where condensers mounted high on building walls hum continuously. (Photo by Issouf SANOGO / AFP via Getty Images)

Europe's largest carmaker Volkswagen is considering cutting tens of thousands more jobs worldwide and shuttering up to four plants in Germany, Manager Magazin reported on June 2026. Volkswagen is already planning to cut 50,000 jobs across its brands in Germany by 2030 as it is struggling with high costs, US tariffs and fierce Chinese competition in electric vehicles. Volkswagen would also close plants at Hanover, Zwickau and Emden after production runs of models currently made there end. (Photo by DAVID HECKER / AFP via Getty Images)
