Filipinos take Shell to UK court
MANILA, Philippines – Over 100 survivors of Typhoon Odette from Bohol and Cebu sued oil firm Shell at the Royal Courts of Justice in London for the loss and damage they said they endured.
Aaron Pedrosa, head of the legal team at the Philippine Movement for Climate Justice (PMCJ), told Rappler going to communities and coordinating with British legal teams took two years. The case hinged on Philippine law and the Commission on Human Rights’ landmark report. It was filed at the Royal Courts of Justice in London by British firm Hausfeld.
Some claimants who were supposed to be present during the filing in London did not make it because of visa problems, said Pedrosa. PMCJ and Greenpeace Philippines are the two groups who helped the Filipino claimants.
“This would probably be, according to our British counterparts, a long-drawn litigation simply because we are up against a giant,” Pedrosa told Rappler in an interview. “But we made the historic first step of filing or pursuing them before their own courts.”
Rappler’s climate reporter Iya Gozum gives a rundown of the case — now called by campaigners as the ‘Odette Case’ — and what this means for communities demanding stronger climate action from governments and corporations.

Fed rate decision September 2025
The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment. “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
