Oatly, the plant-based drink maker, lost a long-running legal battle in the UK Supreme Court and can no longer use the term "milk" in its marketing, while Moscow is preparing to evacuate Russian tourists from Cuba due to a fuel crisis, and over 180 survivors are engaged in Harrods' abuse compensation scheme. Additionally, wildfires fueled by climate change devastated forests in Patagonia, and Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are set to clash in a high-stakes Copa del Rey semifinal.
The UK Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that Oatly could neither trademark nor use the phrase "post-milk generation," following objections from Dairy UK, the representative body for British dairy farmers. The dispute centered on the argument that, under trademark law, "milk" can only refer to products from an animal, according to BBC Business.
Meanwhile, Moscow announced plans to evacuate Russian tourists from Cuba within days due to a fuel crisis triggered by US efforts to restrict the island's oil supplies, as reported by The Guardian. Cuban aviation authorities warned the country was running out of jet fuel, threatening the tourism industry. About 4,000 Russian tourists are currently in Cuba, according to Russia's tourism board.
Harrods announced that more than 180 survivors of abuse by former owner Mohammed Al Fayed are currently participating in its compensation scheme, as stated by BBC Business. The luxury retailer has already paid out compensation to over 50 women. The scheme, which opened last March, will close to new submissions on March 31st. Eligible claimants will receive damages of 200,000, with potential for up to 385,000 plus treatment costs for those assessed by a consultant psychiatrist.
In Patagonia, climate change exacerbated deadly wildfires, resulting in 23 fatalities and the destruction of forests that are home to some of the world's oldest trees, according to The Guardian. Researchers found that global heating made the fires about three times more likely.
Finally, Spanish football giants Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are scheduled to meet on Thursday in Madrid for a Copa del Rey semifinal, with a place in the final at stake, as reported by Al Jazeera. The match will take place at the Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, Spain, with Al Jazeera Sport providing live coverage.
