Shooting at Michigan splash pad leaves 'nine, maybe 10 victims': authorities
Gunfire erupted at a splash pad in the Detroit suburb of Rochester Hills, leaving as many as 10 people wounded, authorities said.
The Austrian government on Wednesday announced plans for a power price cap to curb the rise in energy costs tied to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Chancellor Karl Nehammer said the cap should ease costs for an average household of three by about 500 euros (US$494) per year. The government will provide around 3-4 billion euros to finance the measure, which will come into effect in December and last through the end of June 2024.
"No one in Austria should be unable to afford their basic electricity needs," the chancellor told reporters in Vienna.
"This is about quick and unbureaucratic help, which is why no one needs to apply for it," he added. "The electricity price cap is handled automatically for every household. It is another building block in the relief of people in a difficult time."
Nehammer added that low-income households can apply for additional financial support.
The cost-relief plan comes at a time when Austria and other European countries are struggling to contain an energy crisis and rising prices as Russia has throttled back supplies of natural gas.
European officials have said it's energy blackmail, aimed at pressuring and dividing the European Union as it supports Ukraine against Russia's invasion.
The 27-nation EU should set a price cap on Russian natural gas and pass other measures to ease the energy crisis, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Wednesday.
Individual governments across Europe have passed relief for households as high energy prices drive up utility bills and fuel inflation.
