It is not yet clear if a third galaxy in the group NGC 7764A is interacting with the other two. A group of three galaxies known as NGC 7764A, located about 425 million light-years away, was imaged by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The two agencies published the image this Friday. A curious detail of NGC 7764A is that two of its galaxies, which are in the upper right part of the photo, appear to be colliding with each other. "In reality, interactions between galaxies occur over very long periods of time, and they rarely collide head-on with each other. It's also unclear whether the lower left galaxy is interacting with the other two, even though they are so relatively close together in the space that it seems possible that they do," the astronomers say. "By happy coincidence, the collective interaction between these galaxies has caused the two on the upper right to create a shape that, from our solar system's perspective, looks like the starship known as the USS Enterprise from 'Star Trek! '!" added the scientists. News brought by https://actualidad.rt.com/

They seek to reduce the hunting of the cardinal and the parrot, both birds in danger of extinction The Venezuelan environmental NGO Provita announced Monday that it has launched a project to promote "behavior change" and "reduce the demand for illegal trade in wild birds." The program seeks to "promote the adoption of good practices in the design, implementation and evaluation of focused educational and communication campaigns" and has the support of the United Kingdom Government through the Illegal Wildlife Trade Challenge Fund program, Provita explained in a statement cited by EFE. The executive director of Provita, Bibiana Sucre, indicated that the NGO project was selected among 180 applications from different countries and is the first that this program of the British Government finances in Venezuela. In his opinion, this project "represents an opportunity to demonstrate that the demand for wildlife can be reduced with the positive participation of communities and by changing the relationship that these actors have with fauna, to achieve a win-win for nature and communities." persons". As part of the program and over the next three years, professionals from different disciplines such as ecology, social communication, education, sociology and project management "will unite their experiences and skills to design educational and communication campaigns," the NGO clarified. The focus will be "reducing the demand for two species of Venezuelan birds threatened by illegal wildlife trafficking: the yellow-headed parrot (Amazona barbadensis) and the little cardinal (Spinus cucullatus)". The design, implementation and evaluation of these campaigns will be supported by Venezuelan organizations such as the Leslie Pantin Zoo, the Rural Financing Foundation (FUNDEFIR), the Government of the island state of Nueva Esparta and the Venezuelan Institute of Scientific Research (IVIC). International partners such as the Smithsonian National Zoo, the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the Netherlands Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will also collaborate.

The president of the National Electoral Board (JNE), Tania D'Amelio, announced this Thursday that the request for a referendum to revoke the mandate of the President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, is inadmissible. During a press conference, she highlighted that only 42 thousand 241 people signed, which represents 1.01% of the po[CENSORED]tion.

If you receive the news that you are positive for COVID-19, it is very important to remain calm and follow the recommendations of the doctors. The sensitive rebound in positive cases with COVID-19 in the first two weeks of January is no secret to anyone, especially since it is a highly contagious variant. Data from the Ministry of Health reveal that the second week of January registered 26,672 cases, while the first week registered 14,628 cases. This represents an increase of 82.3% from week to week, with an average of 3,810 cases daily. Precisely because of the ease of contagion that is currently occurring with Ómicron, there are households with several members infected simultaneously, which can add overload, stress and great emotional difficulties to the coexistence of those who are infected versus those who are not yet and who They live with them, either because of the extra workload or because of the fear of getting infected, and this could impact the quality of family relationships. People who are in isolation can be vulnerable to exacerbating emotional complications and therefore experience anxiety or depression due to stress and uncertainty of not knowing how the virus will affect them. Even people without the virus can also experience anguish, stress and anxiety, which in turn can affect the emotional health of people without mental disorders or exacerbate the symptoms of those who have pre-existing mental disorders. Tips to better handle the situation Next, the psychologist Álvaro Solano Monge, director of Psychology at the Fidélitas University, offers some advice to ensure a more favorable handling of the situation. 1. If you receive the news that you are positive for COVID-19, it is very important to remain calm and follow the recommendations of the doctors, this will help us reduce the levels of anxiety and stress that can be generated. 2. Take care of your physical health by eating healthy, emotional health must be taken care of by taking advantage of the time of isolation to read or carry out personal activities that relax you or are to your liking. 3. If a person or several members of the family are positive for COVID-19 and live in the same roof, they must remain calm and follow the medical recommendations of isolation, distance, mask inside the house to protect others and the constant hand washing and cleaning of contact areas. 4. Find out the right way from reliable sources. Avoid the information that is generated in social networks or WhatsApp groups. 5. If a person is in isolation, it is recommended that they be able to maintain their social ties through virtuality, that they have elements that allow them to have recreation through reading, music or television. 6. Avoid any irrational negative thinking that may be generated by bad information. 7. Avoid negative ideas of self-destruction, because this type of thinking only increases the levels of anxiety and stress in people. Try doing breathing exercises, listening to self-help audio books, or listening to meditations that help you relax and stay calm. 8. If the circumstance allows it, the rest of the family that is not sick can share activities such as board games, a movie that generates positive thoughts. 9. Avoid conversing with people who have a different idea than you regarding the pandemic and related topics. It is not healthy to enter into conflict with people who antagonize our convictions, since they generate more emotional imbalance in us. 10. See the times of isolation as an opportunity to take up new hobbies or activities that due to lack of time you had not been able to do. Remember that the 9-1-1 Emergency System platform provides psychological care for people who require it. Students of the Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology and Mental Health of the Fidélitas University, who are psychologists duly incorporated into the Professional Association (CPPCR), provide their support on said platform thanks to the cooperation agreement with the Psychological Support Office of the Ministry of Health.

The Russian Foreign Ministry says that Moscow believes that without the so-called "help" from the West, the conflict in the neighboring country would have been resolved long ago. The Russian Foreign Ministry offered a press conference on Thursday in which it commented on the situation around Ukraine. The deputy director of the Ministry's Information and Press Department, Alexei Zaitsev, said that Russia considers the idea of a war with the neighboring country unacceptable and stressed that Moscow believes that without the so-called "help" from the West, the conflict in Ukraine would have been resolved. long time. "We are convinced that without so-called Western help, the conflict in eastern Ukraine would have been resolved long ago. And the conflict itself, which started when the nationalists came to power, most likely would not have happened," Zaitsev said. The official stressed that Russia expects "NATO countries to stop fueling the conflict in eastern Ukraine and refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of that country, which should allow the Ukrainian contracting parties to resolve their differences in a direct dialogue between them. At the same time, he noted that Moscow observes "comparative calm on the contact line in Donbass, where the number of ceasefire violations decreased compared to the first weeks of January", which is also confirmed by the reports of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. "An unfavorable background for dialogue on security guarantees" Záitsev also pointed out that NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's statements about the possibility of a greater military presence of the Atlantic Alliance in Eastern Europe create a negative background for talks on security guarantees. "Such statements by the NATO Secretary General create an unfavorable background for the dialogue on security guarantees. They confirm that strengthening the negotiating position with military capabilities has become a common practice of the Alliance," he said. In addition, Zaitsev stated that NATO's actions to strengthen its presence in Eastern Europe are based on "the hysteria about the Russian threat to the countries of the Alliance." He noted that NATO reconnaissance planes regularly fly near Russian borders. "NATO strategic aviation practices attacks on Russian installations and control centers. All NATO military planning is subordinated to the same goal of deterring Russia and achieving superiority in all possible theaters of war and in all operational environments. ", he declared. At the same time, he stressed that Moscow does not threaten anyone, but the Atlantic Alliance has been strengthening its eastern flank for decades by actively developing the territories of the new member states. Washington and NATO did not give "positive reaction" to the main issue raised by Moscow Previously, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov commented on Thursday on the responses received the day before from the US and NATO to the security guarantee proposals, previously published by Moscow. He stated that the US response does not contain a "positive reaction" to the main issue: the non-expansion of NATO to the east and the non-deployment by the Atlantic Alliance of attack weapons that could threaten the territory. Russian. The minister stressed that it will be Russian President Vladimir Putin who will make the decision on Moscow's future steps regarding the responses from Washington and NATO. For his part, the Russian presidential spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, declared that Putin has received written responses from the West to the Russian proposals for security guarantees, but "it will take time to analyze them." "From what our colleagues stated yesterday, it is very clear that when it comes to the main lines that were contained in the draft documents that we handed over to our counterparts, we cannot say that our concerns have been taken into account or that it has been shown a willingness to take them into account," he lamented. US and NATO statements This Wednesday, the US ambassador to Russia, John Sullivan, delivered to the Russian Foreign Ministry the written responses to the proposals for security guarantees formulated in mid-December by Moscow. Shortly thereafter, the West's position on the matter was summarized by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Both officials hinted that they do not accept Moscow's demands to end the 'open door' policy, even when it comes to countries neighboring Russia. The head of the transatlantic bloc declared that the Alliance will continue to coordinate "closely with Ukraine, as well as with all NATO partners, including Finland, Sweden, Georgia and, of course, the European Union" and urged Russia to "withdraw its forces of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova". However, both agreed that the transatlantic bloc hopes to maintain a dialogue with Russia. News brought by https://actualidad.rt.com/

Red Alert (pronounced /ˈrɛd ˈnoʊtəs/) is an American action comedy thriller film written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. It stars Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds. This is the third collaboration between Johnson and Thurber after Central Intelligence (2016) and Skyscraper (2018). Originally going to be released by Universal Pictures, Netflix acquired the distribution rights on July 8, 2019,1 and the film was released on November 5, 2021. Two thousand years ago, Antony gave Cleopatra three jeweled eggs as a wedding gift to symbolize her devotion. The eggs are lost to time until a farmer finds two in 1907, but the last one remains missing. In 2021, Special Agent John Hartley, an FBI criminal profiler, is assigned to help Interpol agent Urvashi Das investigate the possible theft of one of the eggs on display at the Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome after being informed that there may be a plan to steal it and that it may already have been stolen. The head of security dismisses concerns after they arrive and the egg appears to still be there, but Hartley determines that the egg on display is a fake and the real egg has been stolen, so Das has the room locked down. However, before the room is sealed, international art thief Nolan Booth manages to escape, pursued by Hartley. Booth eventually escapes to his home in Bali with the egg, but finds Hartley waiting for him, along with Das and an Interpol strike team. Booth is arrested and the egg is taken. Unbeknownst to anyone, Booth's main competition, Sarah Black, aka "The Bishop", disguises herself as one of the strike team members and swaps the real egg with another fake in the back of the vehicle. The next day, Das confronts Hartley believing that he is responsible for the theft of the egg. As a result, he has him imprisoned in a remote Russian prison in the same cell as Booth. Shortly after their arrival, they are taken to Black, where she proposes to Booth that they work together to find the third egg, revealing to Hartley that she does, in fact, know of its whereabouts. Booth declines her modest offer and she leaves saying that she will find the second egg; when she does, she warns that her part will be less. Hartley suggests that he and Booth work together to defeat Black. If Booth helps him put Black in jail, Booth will take her place as the number one art thief in the world. The pair escape from prison and head to Valencia to steal the second egg, in the possession of notorious arms dealer Sotto Voce, who is having a masquerade ball. There, they meet Black, who also intends to steal it. The three arrive at Voce's vault, where Hartley and Booth fight Black using a variety of melee weapons that are on display in the vault before she handcuffs them. Voce arrives with his security team and stops the men while Black reveals that she and Voce are working together. They torture Hartley and believing that Booth has divulged the location of the third egg, Black betrays Voce and goes to Egypt, where Booth says he is. After leaving Valencia, Booth reveals to Hartley that the egg is in fact in Argentina, a place only he knows, as it was inscribed on his late father's beloved watch that once belonged to Adolf Hitler's staff. . art curator Rudolph Zeich. After the fall of the Third Reich in 1945, Zeich fled from Europe to Argentina with the egg. The duo search the jungles of Argentina where they find a secret bunker. Inside are countless Nazi Germany artifacts, among them the third egg. Black arrives to steal the duo's egg at gunpoint, only to be interrupted by the arrival of Das and a team of local police. Hartley, Booth, and Black escape in an old 1931 Mercedes-Benz 770, driving through an abandoned copper mine near the bunker, being pursued by Das in an armored car. Finally, they come out near the top of a waterfall which they jump off and land in a lake at the bottom. Booth swims to shore with the egg, only to discover that Hartley and Black are actually romantic and professional partners and Hartley was never an FBI member but a con artist like his father, both going by the alias "Bishop". Booth hands over the egg and they leave him handcuffed to a tree in the jungle. In Cairo, Hartley and Black deliver the three eggs to an Egyptian billionaire buyer, in time for his daughter's wedding (mirroring Marc Antony's original gift to Cleopatra). The gesture is overshadowed when the bride is more excited for wedding singer Ed Sheeran. The wedding is later interrupted by the Das Interpol raid that arrests the bride and her father. Sheeran is also arrested after getting into a fight with one of the officers. Six months later, on their yacht in Sardinia, Hartley and Black meet Booth again, who informs them that he told Das about his Cayman Islands account containing the Egyptian billionaire's $300 million payment, which Das freezes, leaving them penniless. Booth also reveals that Interpol is on their way to capture them, but offers them a chance to escape if they help him with a new heist, which requires three people to pull off. They agree and escape, and Das places a red circular on the three of them as they begin their heist at the Louvre in Paris.

A new manufacturing method promises to be greener and more accessible. Carbon fiber is not a new invention, it began to be used in the automotive industry more than thirty years ago and today we could say that there is no self-respecting sports vehicle if it does not have one or more pieces of this material, not counting supercars with a monocoque entirely made of carbon. The benefits of carbon fiber lie in its extreme resistance and very low weight, but its great drawback is that it is very expensive. That high cost is because carbon fiber is typically formed by placing multiple fiber fabrics in a mold, vacuum-compressing them to shape, and then baking. In a process that requires a great deal of time and energy. what's coming Apparently, now all this will be part of the past. A company called Retrac, through its CEO Dan Walmsey, stated that they found a way to substantially improve the carbon fiber production process, reducing the total time needed to create the parts and therefore the use of energy. As detailed by the company, the new carbon fiber manufacturing process combines dry fabric pieces and premixed resin to reduce the process steps. Then a 60-ton press from the company goes to work, doing the work of compressing the part and sucking out any air bubbles as the compression takes place. Since the press uses electric rather than hydraulic servos, Walmsley says it has super-fine motor control. As an example, he commented that a body panel they are working on can be completed in just four minutes. If we compare that with what a traditional autoclave takes (about 6 hours or 360 minutes), the time savings are colossal. At the moment, Retrac works on low volume, but his idea could prompt it to think big, or be acquired by the big automakers. News brought by http://especiales.autocosmos.com.ve/

Internationally, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. World Cancer Day is celebrated on February 4 and therefore now is the perfect time to talk about lung cancer and smoking. Internationally, lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death and the World Health Organization estimates that 90% of cases can be prevented by eliminating tobacco use. Although people who smoke are most at risk, smokeless tobacco use is also linked to lung cancer, and lung cancer also occurs in people who don't use tobacco. "It's a misconception, because while tobacco use is clearly the biggest risk factor for lung cancer, there are also many other risk factors, including some that are unknown. All you need to be at risk for lung cancer is to have one of these organs,” says Dr. Aaron Mansfield, a Mayo Clinic oncologist who specializes in lung cancer. Exposure to secondhand smoke increases the risk for lung cancer. Other risk factors include exposure to radon gas, asbestos, and other carcinogens, as well as having a family history of lung cancer. Some people who are diagnosed with lung cancer have no obvious risk factors, and therefore symptoms of this disease, such as shortness of breath and chest pain, can be misinterpreted as pneumonia. “Many of my patients were diagnosed with pneumonia and received several courses of antibiotics that were not helpful. They only came into our hands when that mass seen on chest x-rays and considered to be pneumonia never got better,” says Dr. Mansfield. Constant coughing, coughing up blood, weight loss, bone pain, and headaches are also symptoms of lung cancer. The exact diagnosis usually involves performing a biopsy. Ultrasound or CT images are used to guide where to place the needle to obtain the most accurate tissue sample, explains Dr. Mansfield. "Early detection of lung cancer is critical to successful outcomes because it can be removed surgically and treated with both radiation and ablation," says Dr. Karen Swanson, a pulmonologist and critical care specialist at Mayo. Clinic. Unfortunately, symptoms of lung cancer rarely appear before the disease has spread to other areas of the body. “One of the problems with lung cancer is that by the time the patient is diagnosed, in 80% of cases, the cancer has already spread. Unfortunately, the growth of tumors within the lungs is not something the body can feel or detect, and so unless tested, it is missed in the early stages," adds Dr. Swanson . Screening for lung cancer is a low-dose CT scan done yearly. The test saves lives and is therefore recommended for those at high risk. "Patients should talk to their primary care physicians about lung cancer screening, especially when there is any history of smoking," says Dr. Swanson. Give up smoking In lung cancer screening guidelines, the US Preventive Services Task Force has just lowered the age from 55 to 50 and the history of consumption from 30 packs per year to 20 in order to detect more cancers earlier. number of lung cancer cases. The pack-year measure indicates how many cigarettes a person smoked over a period of time and is calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the number of years that person smoked. If you smoke cigarettes, you can reduce your risk of lung cancer by quitting. "Even if you're in your 60s or 70s, just quitting smoking is known to add years to life and reduce both the chronic health effects and symptoms of smoking," observes Dr. J. Taylor Hays , an internist at Mayo Clinic and deputy director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Nicotine Dependence. "Even those who suffer from chronic bronchitis and other problems find that within six months to a few years, symptoms are greatly reduced and shortness of breath and ability to function without symptoms are significantly improved," says Dr. Hays. It is not easy to stop smoking and, therefore, it is best to do it with help. If you smoke, talk to your GP about lung cancer screening and resources to help you quit. Fortunately, advances in medical science have improved outcomes for people diagnosed with lung cancer. "Advances in lung cancer screening, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies have improved lung cancer mortality, overall," Dr. Mansfield concludes. News brought by https://www.vidayexito.net/

The country also offers the deployment of Air Force fighters in Bulgaria. The Spanish Defense Minister, Margarita Robles, reported this Thursday that in "3 or 4 days" her country will send the Blas de Lezo frigate to the Black Sea, amid the escalation between Russia and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). ). The ship Meteoro de Acción Marítima de España departed for the Black Sea on Monday. According to the minister, who gave statements to the press during her visit to a military vaccination center in Corral de Calatrava (Ciudad Real), this is part of what the country has agreed with NATO. Robles also pointed out that the possibility of an aerial deployment in Bulgaria in which Spain participates, with the sending of Air Force fighters, is being considered. The statements by the Spanish Defense Minister come amid growing tension between Russia and the West, while speculation spread about Moscow's alleged preparations for aggression against Ukraine. Although she made the announcements of these shipments, Robles stated that Spain's position is that she hopes that the "de-escalation" will take place in a "diplomatic" manner. However, she reiterated that "NATO will protect and defend the sovereignty of any country that can or wants to enter" the organization. "Nato Gradual Invasion" From Moscow they have repeatedly rejected the accusations of an alleged invasion of Ukraine. The Russian presidential spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, stated that the government does not consider an invasion of the neighboring country as a possible option. Also, the spokesman denounced "a gradual invasion of NATO in the Ukrainian territory." For her part, the spokeswoman for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zajárova, indicated that these remarks by the US are the backdrop for their "own military provocations." "We are convinced that the objective of this campaign is to create a smoke screen for its own large-scale provocations, including of a military nature, which could have the most tragic consequences for regional and global security," said the senior official. The spokeswoman denounced that for a few days the United Kingdom has been sending weapons to Ukraine. Also, she said, so has Canada, which sent more than 200 Special Forces agents "under the pretext of protecting its embassy and evacuating diplomats in an emergency." However, the largest shipments come from the US, Zakharova said, which in recent months has delivered 30 Javelin anti-tank missile systems and 180 missiles to Kiev.

Padrino López's warning comes amid growing tensions in the border area with Colombian territory. The Venezuelan Defense Minister, Vladimir Padrino López, assured that the North Atlantic Organization (NATO) intends to "take over the world" and project itself in Latin America using Colombia as a pawn. "NATO intends to take over the world by extending itself further to the east of Europe. At the same time, the transatlantic organization projects itself to Latin America with Colombia as a pawn and the increasingly determined presence of military and naval forces in our area of influence," Padrino told via Twitter. The defense minister's warning comes amid growing tensions in the border area with Colombia, where the Venezuelan Armed Forces have activated a military operation to protect the territory from drug traffickers and paramilitary groups, who have been operating for decades in the Colombian armed conflict, whom Caracas calls Tancol (Colombian drug-trafficking armed terrorists). For his part, from Bogotá, the head of Defense, Diego Molano, has insisted on ensuring that the leaders of irregular armed groups in Colombia do not operate from his country, but from Venezuela and Cuba, a statement that has been reiterated in the administration of Ivan Duke. The day before, Molano again launched accusations against Caracas and Havana, in response to a controversial image where guerrillas from the Colombian National Liberation Army (ELN) appear on one of the main roads in the department of Arauca, just when Duque was in that region announcing measures against the armed group.

New data from ongoing study showed increased antibody response against Beta, Delta, Alpha and Gamma variants after a third booster dose with Vaxzevria Positive results from a preliminary analysis of an ongoing safety and immunogenicity study (D7220C00001) showed that Vaxzevria (ChAdOx1-S [Recombinant]), AstraZeneca's vaccine, increased the immune response to Beta, Delta, Alpha and Gamma variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when applied as a third booster dose, while a separate analysis of samples taken from the study showed a greater antibody response against the Omicron variant. The results were observed among individuals previously vaccinated with Vaxzevria or an mRNA vaccine. Another phase IV study, published in a preprint of The Lancet, showed that a third dose of Vaxzevria substantially increased antibody levels after a series of primary vaccinations with CoronaVac (Sinovac Biotech). Sir Mene Pangalos, Executive Vice President of Research and Development (R&D) at Biopharmaceuticals at AstraZeneca, said: “Vaxzevria has protected hundreds of millions of people against COVID-19 around the world and these data show that it has an important role to play as third booster dose, even if other brand vaccines have been given before. Given the continuing urgency of the pandemic and Vaxzevria's heightened immune response against the Omicron variant, we will continue to file regulatory applications worldwide for its use as a third booster dose." Professor Sir Andrew J Pollard, Principal Investigator and Director of the Oxford Vaccine Group at the University of Oxford, said: "These important studies show that a third dose of Vaxzevria after two initial doses of the same vaccine, or after mRNA vaccines or inactivated, strongly improves immunity against COVID-19. The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is suitable as an option to improve the immunity of po[CENSORED]tions in countries that are considering booster programs, thus adding to the protection that had already been demonstrated with the first two doses. The safety and immunogenicity study D7220C00001 showed that Vaxzevria continued to be generally well tolerated. Additional analyzes of the study are expected to be available during the first half of 2022. Previous studies support Vaxzevria as a third booster dose as part of a homologous or heterologous schedule. In a subanalysis of studies COV001 and COV002, a third dose of Vaxzevria applied at least six months after a second dose significantly increased antibody levels and sustained T-cell response. It also resulted in greater neutralizing activity against variants. Alpha, Beta, and Delta, compared to a two-dose schedule. The COV-BOOST study also showed that a third booster dose of Vaxzevria elicited significantly higher immune responses compared to controls against the Delta variant and parent strain after primary vaccination with Vaxzevria or Pfizer BioNtech (BNT162b2).

The US has spread complete misinformation about Russia's alleged "provocation" to invade Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday after talks with his Croatian counterpart Gordan Grlic Radman. "US officials have also commented on the very issue of the so-called invasion of Ukraine, in particular spreading complete disinformation that we are preparing a provocation with an attack on the Russian-speaking po[CENSORED]tion in Donbass to get a pretext for such an invasion," he said. Lavrov. The senior official pointed out that what happened in Ukraine in 2014 was not the result of a Russian provocation, but of a coup "supported and even organized to a great extent" by Washington. "Today Ukraine is definitely under US external control," he added. Moscow has repeatedly dismissed accusations of an alleged invasion of Ukraine. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that Russia does not consider an invasion of the neighboring country as a possible option. "No one is threatening anyone with military action. It would be crazy to do that," the spokesman said. Likewise, Peskov denounced "a gradual NATO invasion of Ukrainian territory" and explained that the deployment of Russian troops near the border with Ukraine is due to "a very tense situation, a hostile atmosphere created by various NATO exercises , NATO fighters and spy planes, the advancement of NATO infrastructure to the borders". Concerns about a possible Russian invasion of Ukraine have intensified in the West after several media outlets published alleged plans for the operation in November. Thus, according to a publication by Bloomberg, Moscow anticipates the participation of 100,000 Russian soldiers, half of whom, according to agency sources, have already occupied their positions. In response, on December 9 the chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Valery Gerasimov, during a briefing called media reports of an alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine "false".

In 1985, Josep Tarradellas already starred in one of the debates of the Club Siglo XXI in Madrid. And last night Pere Aragonès made his debut in this veteran forum for political dialogue in the capital of Spain, recalling that all his predecessors in the presidency of the Generalitat came to Madrid warning about the situation in Catalonia. Aragonès warned that today the majority option is to constitute "an independent Catalan republic." After being presented by former mayor Manuela Carmena as “a man of dialogue”, and in the presence of the Government spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, in addition to the Minister of Universities, Joan Subirats, Aragonès defined his ideological identity signs: “I am a pro-independence, republican and left ”. And the main message he launched was the demand to Pedro Sánchez that he dares to give the floor to the Catalan citizens in a referendum, and that he does not hide behind the fear that his only alternative is a government of the right and the extreme right in Spain to delay the solution to the political conflict in Catalonia. "We need a democratic transformation that takes place in Catalonia and Spain out of respect for the majority will of the Catalan citizenry to decide the political future of our country in a peaceful and democratic way," he claimed. Aragonès regretted "the inability" that the State has shown to date to allow and facilitate this majority demand that he attributed to Catalan society, in the Scottish way, "being creative and imaginative to find the formula to make the referendum possible." "The opportunity is now and we must seize it," claims the Republican leader to the Spanish left “The referendum is necessary. And the State, which defends that Catalonia continues to be part of Spain, must dare to win democratically. The imposition will not lead to any victory. Dare to win and also dare to lose, "he said. “I, as president of the Generalitat de Catalunya, dare. I dare to let the Catalan citizens decide, with all the conviction that our option will win ”, he affirmed. Aragonès did not want to focus the debate on the date of a new meeting of the dialogue table between the Government and the Generalitat, but rather on proposing proposals to advance the negotiation. "There is no state proposal on the table," he lamented. And he reiterated that that of the Generalitat is amnesty and the right of self-determination. He thus urged Sánchez not to "delay" this negotiation or use "excuses for not moving forward." News brought byhttps://www.lavanguardia.com

Scientists estimate that only seven to eight specimens of the marine mammal remain. The inaction of the Mexican authorities against illegal fishing in its refuge area condemns it to extinction A vaquita porpoise in the waters of the Upper Gulf of California, in Mexico. https://imagenes.elpais.com/resizer/Fgo43FdrfebmBcmqUvBH-OM0XdE=/1960x0/cloudfront-eu-central-1.images.arcpublishing.com/prisa/QUBBUEHCQBD3ZK3WVOJTAQH76Q.jpg In the dystopian country that sometimes looks like Mexico, a biologist has to go into exile after receiving threats for trying to prevent the extinction of the vaquita, a small cetacean in the Upper Gulf of California. His apparently harmless work collides with the interests of organized crime, whose tentacles reach almost all extractive activities in the country: clandestine logging, mining… and illegal fishing. The vaquita is not the target of criminals, it is just collateral damage, that euphemism called bycatch. What they seek with their predatory nets is the totoaba, a fish whose swim bladder is coveted for its alleged aphrodisiac powers in China, where up to $ 60,000 is paid for it. More than cocaine. "It is a war between illegal fishing and us, who are trying to protect the species," says Diego Ruiz Sabio from his exile. He prefers not to reveal where he went, but it can be said that far. Enough to avoid swelling the lists of murdered environmental defenders in Mexico. Ruiz Sabio continues to be, even in the distance, co-director of the Whale Museum of La Paz, in Baja California Sur. The institution has spent years removing the gillnets used by poachers, in which the vaquita, the most endangered marine mammal on the planet, gets trapped and dies. But in the battle between environmentalists and organized crime, the latter is winning. An observation cruise funded among others by the Whale Museum revealed last December that the vaquitas po[CENSORED]tion continues to plummet. Now it is estimated that there are between seven and eight left, compared to ten in 2019. The drop in porpoise numbers in recent decades has been dramatic, brutal. If in 1997 there were almost 600 vaquitas, in 2016 there were 60. Only a year later, they fell by half. At that time, the Chinese market realized that the totoaba, endemic to the same waters as the vaquita, closely resembled a fish used in its traditional medicine that became extinct due to overexploitation. And it became his perfect substitute. Then began a fierce predation controlled by organized crime that has also put the totoaba in danger of extinction. Last November, during the observation cruise, scientists counted 117 boats illegally fishing in the vaquita's refuge area in a single day, well above the 87 they had seen two years earlier. The question then is where are the authorities. “Without a doubt there is an absolute disinterest in the preservation of this species. They believe that it is easier to let it die out and turn the page ”, laments the biologist. News brought by https://elpais.com
