Wed Nov 20 19:08:03 UTC 2024: ## New Podcasts, Water Crisis, and Jaguar’s Electric Leap: News Roundup
**Brussels, Belgium & London, UK** – A flurry of announcements across media and automotive industries dominated headlines today. Several new podcasts launched, tackling diverse subjects from European affairs to technological advancements and climate change.
**Podcasts Debut:** Radio Schuman offers unbiased news and insights from Brussels, while Euronews Tech Talks delves into the impact of technology on society. Euronews also launched “Water Matters,” exploring Europe’s escalating water crisis through video reports, animations, and live debates, highlighting pollution, drought, and flood impacts. A separate Euronews initiative will focus on climate change, presenting data, analysis, and expert interviews.
**Jaguar’s Brand Transformation:** Iconic carmaker Jaguar unveiled a dramatic rebranding, replacing its growling cat logo with a leaping one, symbolizing a shift towards “Exuberant Modernism.” This rebrand coincides with a decisive move towards electric vehicles. By the end of 2024, only the F-Pace SUV (with petrol, diesel, and hybrid options) will remain in combustion engine production. Three new electric models are slated for 2026, potentially competing with high-end models like the Porsche Taycan. While Jaguar is investing heavily (€18bn estimated) in electrification, investors express concerns about market demand and the viability of producing only one combustion engine vehicle during the transition. The new brand identity, including a new monogram and four design emblems, will be fully revealed at Miami Art Week on December 2nd.
