Almost a year after the Covid-19 pandemic forced many companies to apply teleworking, Microsoft has launched a new technological platform, called Viva, its new version of the intranet that most large companies offer to their employees and with which he seeks, he says, to improve remote work and meet the needs of employees in the new work environment. The CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, has assured that, after this health crisis, the way in which people learn, live and work will change forever. “We have participated in the largest remote work experiment and it has had a dramatic impact on the employee experience (…) As the world recovers, there is no going back (…) and the flexibility in when, where and how we work will be key ". Faced with this scenario, the software giant argues that organizations will need more than ever a unified platform that allows their employees to do their work, share knowledge within the company, have continuous training, and also help them maintain the internal culture and fostering community among its workers. The launch of Viva, which integrates with Teams (its collaboration and communication software) and Microsoft 365, marks Microsoft's entry into the increasingly crowded category of employee experience technology, where it will compete with companies like Qualtrics (SAP ) and Lemonade. All of them offer tools for companies to measure and improve the overall quality of work and the well-being of their employees. It is a market that moves 300,000 million dollars (about 250,000 million euros), according to the analysis companies, and in which there are many providers offering solutions for performance management, employee well-being, learning, human resources applications , etc. Microsoft kicks off the platform with four initial modules, although more will come. One is Viva Connections, which includes chat and internal company communication mechanisms. According to Microsoft, it is like the gateway to the company, where there will be an area to receive news, benefits and access to important resources. Another, Viva Insights, which helps work teams set daily priorities and limits on their calendars to avoid the risk of burnout. This module will also allow the generation of information from aggregate data so that managers can monitor work patterns and trends, "but with the privacy of employees protected," according to Microsoft. The other two modules are Viva Learning, where training materials, courses and other content related to training that may be from the company or third parties will be housed, and Viva Topics, which will allow employees to be better informed, since with a just click to access documents, conversations, videos and people related to the topics you are working on. This module uses artificial intelligence and integrates with third-party services such as ServiceNow and Salesforce. The Redmond company, which has not disclosed the pricing for Viva, has an extensive network of partners, including Accenture, Avanade, PwC and EY, to help companies carry out its new platform. A platform with which the company will also give a boost to Teams (which suffers from strong competition with Zoom, Slack and Google), its productivity technologies, and LinkedIn, the business social network that it acquired for more than 26,000 million in 2016, since Viva Learning includes content from LinkedIn Learning and Viva Insight uses resources from this social platform, although it can also use data from third-party tools such as Zoom, Slack, Workday and SAP SuccessFactors.

The first image of an Intel Xeon Sapphire Rapids-SP appears, some processors that could reach the market later this year Currently the market for server processors is dominated by Intel Xeon solutions. Despite the advent of AMD EPYC, many systems are based on Intel solutions. This segment usually updates systems in longer periods of time. Even with updates, 'old' systems are still useful for certain tasks. The new Sapphire Rapids-SP are characterized by being manufactured in the 10nm Enhaced SuperFin node. This is an advanced process based on the 10nm self node. Sapphire Rapids-SP arrives with some very cool features. The first one is that they integrate HBM2 memory stacks and have a Compute Express Lin 1.1 interface. Additionally, these processors integrate the PCIe 5.0 interface and support an Octa-Channel DDR5 RAM memory system. The new generation Sapphire Rapids-SP makes use of the LGA4677-X socket, which has a quite particular design. Furthermore, these processors have already been chosen to be the basis for various exa-scale type systems. They allow the configuration of two of these processors along with six Intel Xe Ponte Vecchio graphics. We currently do not know the maximum number of cores that this Intel Xeon family will offer. According to preliminary data, this new architecture will offer up to a 50% increase in IPC over Skyake. According to some rumors, it will reach 64 cores and 128 threads, although there is no confirmation. The most that has been seen is a Sapphire Rapids-SP with 56 cores and 112 threads. It should be noted that AMD is developing the EPYC GENOA that will reach up to 96 cores of the Zen4 type @ 5nm

The sale of the new high-performance vehicles to the different markets will begin in March 2021. BMW takes the unmistakable combination of track-optimized performance and everyday ease of use to a whole new level, with new representatives of the letter “M”, the world's most powerful letter. The significant dynamic advances achieved over its predecessors are the product of a typically M development and tuning process, the result of tests for the BMW M4 GT3 racing model. Another common thread between the new BMW Ms is the spectrum of emotions elicited by their powertrain, chassis, visually expressive design and a novel M-specific control system. These range from the pleasure of driving a vehicle with great power for long distances, the dynamism in daily use, to the sportiness of its motor for roads. Inline six-cylinder engine that delivers instant power and high revs, exclusive to M. The engines that power the new high-performance vehicles combine the high revs for which the M models are famous due to the latest version of integrated M TwinPower Turbo technology. The result is a new high point in terms of power and torque. Lightweight design and exceptional stiffness are prominent attributes of performance-maximizing entry-level engine components. Two indirect charge air-cooled turbochargers, a flow-optimized air intake system, and a direct gasoline injection system operating at a maximum pressure of 350 bar, help generate instant engine power delivery, which is maintains without interruption in the upper reaches of the engine speed range. The engine that powers the new BMW M3 Competition Sedan and BMW M4 Competition Coupé, offers maximum torque in a wide range of 650 Nm from 2,750 to 5,500 rpm. Its maximum power is 510 hp available at 6,250 rpm, and the engine's redline reaches 7,200 rpm. These performance characteristics provide a deeply impressive driving experience. Both offer a combined fuel economy of 10.4 km / l and combined CO2 emissions of 221 g / km. The new BMW M3 Competition Sedan and BMW M4 Competition Coupé require just 3.9 seconds to go from 0 to 100 km / h. Additionally, it features a model-specific exhaust system with electrically controlled valves that provides a riveting soundtrack. These models offer a cooling system that guarantees to maintain the optimum operating temperature at all times for the powertrain components, both in daily driving over short distances or in the city, but also when pushing these cars to the limit of their performance on a track. A central cooling module linked by two radiators controls the high temperatures on the fenders. On these Competition models, the system also includes an additional engine oil cooler and a separate transmission oil cooler. The accumulated experience in motorsport of BMW M GmbH has also been felt in the conception of the oil supply system. The engine oil pan has two separate chambers and an integrated suction channel. The suction system allows the oil pump to draw lubricant from the smaller chamber and intervenes when additional capacity is needed. This ensures a reliable supply of oil at all times, even under extreme lateral and longitudinal acceleration. The eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic on Competition models is distinguished by the setting of the ratios perfectly in sync with the characteristics of the engine and a wide range of general ratios. It allows fully automatic gear changes and manual changes with the M-specific selector lever or the shift paddles on the steering wheel. Transmission shift characteristics are adjusted via the Drivelogic button integrated into the selector lever. The driver can access three clearly differentiated settings in both automatic and manual modes. M specific chassis, extremely high torsional stiffness. The extremely high torsional stiffness of the body and chassis assembly is a key factor in providing the combination of dynamism, agility and precision for which the BMW M models are renowned, as well as a linear accumulation of lateral forces throughout the range of lateral acceleration and steering behavior that remains neutral even at the limit. A specific package of reinforcement elements for the engine compartment, a front axle sub-frame with aluminum cutting panel, reinforcement elements under the floor and a rear axle sub-frame with a rigid connection to the bodywork all play a role. in precisely controllable handling of vehicles in even dynamically intense situations. Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers and M-specific kinematics and elastokinematics for the front and rear axles are standard features on the BMW M3 Competition Sedan and BMW M4 Competition Coupé. They also have M Servotronic steering with a variable ratio and an M-specific version of the integrated braking system, which offers the driver two different settings of braking response and pedal feel. The introduction of a built-in wheel slip limiting function enables the DSC system to operate more precisely. Furthermore, the standard inclusion of the M Dynamic Mode opens the door to a particularly sporty driving experience, with controlled gliding capability. The standard specification also includes 824 M-style twin-spoke light alloy forged wheels, finished in Orbit Gray, 18-inch front and 19-inch rear. Models with a design that increases emotional appeal. The distinctive body design of the new BMW M3 Competition Sedan and BMW M4 Competition Coupé conveys more than ever a statement of the supremacy of their performance and the emotionally engaging driving experience these vehicles deliver. The M specific design features blend harmoniously into the modern design language. Factors contributing to the two models' visually striking appearance include the M-specific version of BMW's large vertical kidney-shaped double grille with horizontal bars, powerfully sculpted fenders with striking M gills, and prominently extended side sills with fixing pieces for the front and rear sections. The sedan and coupe also have a canopy made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) with aerodynamically optimized fins, a rear spoiler and the two pairs of tailpipes that are now a regular feature of M vehicles. The selection of exterior paint finishes includes exclusive new shades of Sao Paulo Yellow non-metallic, Toronto Red metallic and Isle of Man Green metallic. An optional M Carbon exterior package and BMW M Performance accessories can be ordered. Clearly structured surfaces and an ergonomically flawless cabin design ensure that the driver concentrates one hundred percent on the intense driving experience of these two vehicles. Newly developed, electrically adjustable M sport seats and fine-grain Merino leather upholstery with extended features come standard and are ventilated, available for the first time. A highlight of the optional list is the new M Carbon bucket seats that offer a frame-based design, combining racing functionality with lightweight construction, long-distance comfort and sumptuous workmanship. These innovative seats have integrated head restraints that can be removed for track driving, an illuminated model plate and power adjustment. Its structure inspired by racing vehicles also allows the use of multi-point seat belts. M specific operation / control system for a customizable performance experience. The control and display system of the new BMW M3 Competition Sedan and BMW M4 Competition Coupé comprises a number of recent features that play a role in the refreshing and immersive driving experience of these models. The “Setup” button on the center console provides direct access to configuration options for the engine, chassis, steering and braking system, as well as gear shift assistant and traction control. Additionally, two settings can be stored individually for overall vehicle fine-tuning and instantly recalled at any time using the M buttons on the steering wheel. The center console control panel also integrates the M mode button as standard.

Chiara Fronte, an Italian-American, 90 years old in August, left Yankee Stadium this Friday in a daze, in a wheelchair pushed by her son-in-law and escorted by two members of the National Guard. She had received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine on the first day of massive inoculation in the arena of the po[CENSORED]r stadium, set up as a macro vaccination center to accelerate a process that is still limping. At eight in the morning the first resident of the Bronx entered - only those registered in the district will be vaccinated - and at noon, the queue of patients mixed with that of those who aspired to meet, in the middle of a swarm of reservists, police officers locals, journalists and volunteers from various charities. “I am a bit dizzy from so many laps I have been given, but I don't feel anything strange after the puncture, they kept me there waiting for a while and I had no reaction. It's just that I'm too old for this mess, ”Fronte said after getting up from his chair. “I am happy because if God wants I will be able to turn 90 years old, but very sad to see what this disease is causing everywhere. It is a blessing to have been vaccinated ”. She still wore the white sticker on her chest with the number that corresponded to her in the row, thinking that she would serve her for the second dose, the next day 26. "We estimate that today [this Friday] about a thousand people will be vaccinated, and by next week we hope to reach a quota of 2,000," explained Ramón Tallaj, medical head of the deployment and president of Somos Community Care, a network well-known healthcare provider in the Bronx with a staff of 2,500 specialists spread throughout the city. “The health workers who administer the vaccines are our doctors and nurses, and they live and work in the Bronx, because we must not forget that the residents of this district, Latinos, blacks, families with few resources, have been especially hit by the pandemic. Neighbors know us, trust us, and for that I especially thank the Mayor of New York [Bill de Blasio] and Governor [Andrew Cuomo], as well as our Yankees, for choosing us for the job. I can't imagine a better place than this stadium. The reward is the face of happiness, relief and tranquility, which remains for everyone after the puncture ”, concludes Tallaj. Dr. Tallaj runs two social clinics, one in the Bronx and one in Washington Heights, also with a high percentage of immigrant po[CENSORED]tion. "Apart from the vaccine, and all the hope that it implies to overcome this crisis, the fundamental message that we must transmit is the need to promote health, something that is especially important in this neighborhood." The organization that he presides serves the beneficiaries of Medicaid, the medical insurance that briefly covers the needs of the most needy po[CENSORED]tion. The one in the Bronx, which in principle will operate twelve hours a day but aspires to do so 24 hours a day, is the first macro-center enabled in New York City, waiting for a sufficient number of doses to be collected to open a second at Citi Field, stadium located in another of the epicenters of the pandemic, the borough of Queens. The National Football League (NFL) announced today that it will make the stadiums of the teams that comprise it available to the Administration. In addition to those in the Bronx and Queens, there are currently 35 new makeshift enclosures in churches, community centers and social housing complexes, already operational. The problem of the supply of vials is the only brake on the pace that the authorities intend to print on the process, when the country borders 26.5 million cases and 450,000 deaths, although the rate of new infections has been reduced by 15% by increasing immunization by 5%. The local and state governments also intend that vaccination campaigns in the macro-centers of the Bronx and Queens help reduce the alarming racial gap between those inoculated, while Dr. Anthony Fauci warns that the British variant of the virus is expected to spread throughout the country and it will complicate the evolution of the most serious cases. Francisca, a 73-year-old retiree of Dominican origin, found out this Thursday through the news that the vaccination was beginning, tried to get an appointment on the Somos website - the only one prepared for this purpose - and, not being able to do so because it was collapsed, decided to dedicate this Friday morning to waiting to sign up on site. The line of those waiting to register turned around half a stadium at midmorning, inside which only the aforementioned could access. "At last it seems that we see the end of this tragedy, I have no doubt that the only thing we can do is get vaccinated ... blessed vaccine. But I also think that if I had to move to another district I would probably not wear it, because it is difficult for me to move. It is a joy that they have opened this center right next to home ”. There have been five cases of covid-19 in her family, and only three have recovered. City Council officials reported this Thursday that there are still 15,000 appointments available for next week, since the opening of the stadium - several times postponed due to lack of vials - was confirmed only on Wednesday, hence the authorities expect a greater influx this week. next. "They are not taking them from our hands [the appointments]," complained on Twitter this Thursday Democratic councilman Mark Levine. “So we have good news, the availability of appointments, and another bad news, that the information has not yet reached those interested. The City Council should be informing the people in the streets ”. The mayor's office has been the target of criticism for the complicated registration system on the Internet, which especially confused the elderly, for its own vaccination centers. The most recurrent theme in community social networks, such as the NextDoor website, is precisely figuring out how to get a date.

All of this is the result of impeccable attention to the smallest details on the part of the designers and development engineers, which is honed through numerous test drives around the world. The tests at the Nürburgring The Nürburgring North Ring (Nordschleife) is a legend among all circuits. Its 20,832 kilometers are among the most challenging in the world, and each meter represents a real challenge. More than 80 percent of the route is covered at full throttle. With maximum load and at high speed, each kilometer on this circuit is equivalent to several kilometers of normal road travel. An estimated 8,000 kilometers of endurance tests on the North Ring of the Nürburgring are easily equivalent to the entire life of a car. With its high demands, the North Ring is the benchmark for all sports vehicles. If you can survive here, you can survive on the roads around the world. Frank Stippler maintains a connection to the history of Audi Sport like no other racing driver. His greatest achievements include victories at the 24 Hours of Spa (2012) and at the Nürburgring (2012 and 2019). In fall 2019, Stippler delivered a masterstroke by setting a record in the North Ring, which he set with an RS Q8. The stopwatch recorded a lap time of 7 minutes and 42.253 seconds - certified by a notary -, with which the professional driver from Cologne surpassed the previous best time achieved by a standard SUV by twelve seconds. The North Ring represents the definitive test of resistance to development and coordination work. Every new RS undergoes a minimum of 8,000 kilometers of testing on this track. The track provides very detailed information on the durability of parts in extreme conditions, as well as specific details about the suspension. With the RS Q8, the main focus was on the configuration of the springs, dampers and ESP, as well as the characteristics of the anti-roll stabilization system and the sport differential. "For the first time in the 25-year history of the Audi RS models, we have combined the genetics of a true high-performance sports car with a large SUV coupe body," said Oliver Hoffmann, Director of Audi Sport GmbH. "With its V8 biturbo petrol engine, the Audi RS Q8 becomes the prestigious spearhead of the RS range." Maximum power and high efficiency The V8 4.0 engine of the new Audi RS Q8 achieves an impressive performance, worthy of an RS model: 600 hp of power and 800 Nm of torque between 2,200 and 4,500 rpm. The direct injection turbo petrol engine enables the Audi Sport GmbH SUV coupe to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3.8 seconds, while it is capable of reaching 200 km / h from zero in 13.7 seconds. The top speed of 250 km / h is electronically limited. With the optional dynamic package, the top speed goes up to 305 km / h. The 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 boot gives the 4.0 TFSI a sporty and powerful sound. As is customary on RS models, the dual exhaust system integrates an impressive oval outlet at each end. The driver can influence the engine sound via Audi drive select. The optional RS exhaust system with black tailpipes offers an even sportier sound. The V8 biturbo in the new RS Q8 combines best performance with high efficiency. Its Mild Hybrid (MHEV) technology is based on a 48-volt main electrical system. The core element of this MHEV system is a BAS alternator connected to the crankshaft, which, during deceleration and braking, can recover up to 12 kW of power and store it in the compact lithium-ion battery. If the driver takes his foot off the accelerator at speeds between 55 and 160 km / h, the management system chooses between two actions depending on the driving situation and the mode selected in Audi drive select, in such a way that the new RS Q8 manages to recover power or advance in coasting speed mode for up to 40 seconds with the engine off. The BAS alternator starts the drive in milliseconds when the accelerator is depressed again. MHEV technology allows the start / stop system to operate at speeds of up to 22 km / h. The Mild Hybrid system is connected to the video camera sensors for even greater efficiency. When the vehicle is stationary, the engine comes alive again even with the brake pedal still depressed as soon as the front-facing camera detects that the preceding vehicle begins to move. The interaction between the elements of the MHEV system improves rolling comfort and helps reduce fuel consumption in everyday use by up to 0.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Another component that has to do with efficiency is the cylinder on demand (COD) system. At low or medium load, with the engine running at low revs and on long runs, it deactivates cylinders 2, 3, 5 and 8, turning off the ignition, cutting off the fuel supply and closing the intake and exhaust valves. The moment of deactivation of the cylinders lasts only a few milliseconds and is practically imperceptible to the driver. During four-cylinder operation, those that remain active switch to highly efficient maps, while those that are not active function as springs that do not generate losses. The power of the 4.0 TFSI is transmitted to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system via an eight-speed tiptronic transmission, which is standard. Configured as a planetary gear, the mechanical center differential distributes force between the front and rear axles in a 40:60 ratio. In the event of slippage, more torque is automatically redirected to the axle with greater traction. Up to 70 percent can go to the front axle and up to 85% to the rear. Selective control of torque at each wheel improves safety and streamlines driving in the new RS Q8. In dynamic support, the optional quattro sports differential is responsible for distributing the torque between the rear wheels according to the needs. This system improves traction, stability and behavior. Ready for any situation: the suspension The five-link architecture on the front and rear axles handles longitudinal and transverse forces independently. The subframes and other elements are made, to a large extent, of aluminum. The width of this coupe SUV is 1,692mm at the front axle and 1,696mm at the rear. Adaptive air suspension with damping control - standard - makes the new RS Q8 feel effective on both an asphalt circuit and an offroad track. Its specific RS tuning allows a clear differentiation between the most comfortable and the most sporty driving. Depending on the driving situation and what the driver decides, the height of the body can vary up to 90 millimeters. The optional Electromechanical Active Stabilization (EAWS) system minimizes roll in fast corners thanks to a small electric motor located between the two halves of the stabilizers on both axles. When driving in a straight line, the two halves of the stabilizers disengage, reducing body movements on uneven surfaces and increasing comfort. When cornering, however, the goal is to achieve maximum rigidity and precision. This element is integrated into the 48 volt electrical system, and also serves to recover energy. With the optional dynamic plus package, which raises the top speed - electronically limited - to 305 km / h, customers get a chassis designed for maximum sportiness. This pack includes the quattro sports differential and the active stabilization system. Also, RS ceramic brakes should be included. The four-wheel steering, which is part of the standard equipment, allows the rear axle to turn up to 5 degrees in the opposite direction to the front when driving at low speed; at high speed, however, it turns in the same direction as the front wheels up to a maximum of 1.5 degrees. With its variable ground clearance, short overhangs, quattro permanent all-wheel drive and descent control, the new Audi RS Q8 can continue the journey smoothly when the tarmac ends. The driver can precisely influence the character of the RS Q8 using the Audi drive select dynamic driving system. There are eight modes to choose from: comfort, auto, dynamic, efficiency, allroad, offroad and the two individually configurable RS modes (RS1 and RS2), which can be activated directly via the “RS-Mode” button located on the steering wheel. Audi drive select manages elements such as the engine, transmission, steering, suspension, exhaust sound and climate control. The new RS Q8 comes standard with 23-inch ten-spoke aluminum wheels with a star design, on which 295/35 size tires sit. This is the largest tire / rim assembly fitted as standard on a production Audi to date. There are a variety of 23-inch wheel options in a five-spoke design and a wide range of exclusive colors for the RS Q8. Behind the wheels is an RS brake system with ventilated discs, 420 mm in diameter on the front axle and 370 mm on the rear axle. The ten-piston calipers are painted red as standard. In the case of the optional RS ceramic brake system, the calipers are available in gray, red or blue, while the discs have a diameter of 440mm at the front and 370mm at the rear. Self-confident: the exterior With its imposing octagonal Singleframe grille in contrasting Manhattan gray with a gloss black honeycomb pattern, the new Audi RS Q8 features a front end with a lot of personality. In combination with the side air intakes and the side fender inserts in gloss black and other aerodynamic elements in matt aluminum, the SUV coupe from Audi Sport GmbH brings out its sporty character. The roof line drops downward towards the D-pillars, resting in the quattro blisters on the fenders. RS-specific body-color elements widen it by 10 millimeters at the front and 5 millimeters at the rear, providing space for the widest track width. The standard Manhattan gray trim gives the car an even more sporty and streamlined appearance. The small roof spoiler provides a very striking finish on the upper part and works as an aerodynamic element that provides extra support on the rear axle when traveling at high speeds. At the bottom are specific RS details, such as the rear diffuser in aluminum look or the oval tailpipes. The new Audi RS Q8 is available in nine exterior colors, one solid and eight metallic or pearl-effect. The exterior mirror housings are standard in an aluminum finish, although the customer can optionally choose to paint them in body color, black or carbon. Black and Carbon Design Packages add touches to the grille, diffuser and horizontal line of the rear lighting. In combination with these packages, both the Audi rings and the RS badges - front and rear - are optionally available in black. The Audi exclusive program offers numerous additional personalization options.0 There are two different LED configurations. A strip of light accompanied by a glossy black surface joins the two rear light clusters and provides a greater sense of width to the rear. Sportiness with plenty of space: the interior The interior of the new RS Q8 features a clean and uncluttered design. All elements have a logical and well harmonized connection. The fabric-covered headliner is available as an option in lunar silver, lunar silver Alcantara or black Alcantara. The slim console and the marked horizontality of the dashboard give the interior a great sense of space. The central element in the cockpit is the MMI touch response screen. On the displays of the Audi virtual cockpit and MMI there is a special RS display mode that refers to tire pressure, torque, power, temperature, lap times and G-forces. A light indicates to the driver the moment to change gears when it has reached the maximum point of revolutions. The standard Head-up display is capable of projecting important information onto the windshield, including a safe navigation guide and various RS-specific graphics. The voice control system can receive messages in natural language. This makes the RS Q8 a travel companion with which the user can freely talk. The standard RS sports seats in Valcona leather with a honeycomb pattern and embroidered RS badges perfectly match the sporting philosophy of the RS Q8. In addition to the massage function, the RS sports seats are perforated for ventilation. These seats come standard in black, with the option of cognac and granite gray. The two RS design packages include red or gray contrast stitching on the knees, steering wheel, floor mats, gear selector and seat belts. With both packages, the center console, gear selector and steering wheel are covered in Alcantara. On the steering wheel there is an RS logo. The running boards feature a backlit RS Q8 logo. The RS sports steering wheel in perforated leather, flattened at the bottom and with paddles for the change of direction, also includes multifunction buttons. The driver can directly select the new RS1 and RS2 modes in Audi drive select via the RS-Mode button. In doing so, RS-specific graphics appear automatically on the Audi drive select display. The RS Q8 does not neglect versatility for everyday use, something that is especially evident at the rear, where the row of three individual seats with longitudinal adjustment is part of the standard equipment. With the rear seatbacks folded down, the boot has a volume of 1,755 liters. Security-centric connectivity: assistants and infotainment The new Audi RS Q8 provides driver assistance in many situations through its wide range of assistants (more than 30), including adaptive cruise control (ACC) with efficiency assistant, intersection assistant (front cross traffic assist), lane change assistant and 360 degree cameras. The RS Q8 comes standard with the most advanced infotainment system, the MMI Navigation plus. Integrates the Audi connect data transfer module with LTE Advanced. With support from Audi Connect, the navigation system shows you online traffic and alternate routes to get to the point of interest. It also includes Car2x functions, which to mention a few are: emergency call, road assistance and option to generate the service appointment corresponding to the vehicle. In addition to the above, it is also possible to control some services through myAudi app, such as locating the vehicle or opening and closing its doors. The new Audi RS Q8 arrives in our country from February and is available from $ 2,689,900 MN.

Iker Jiménez addressed the issue of climate change in his Horizonte program on Wednesday, February 3. In the last minutes of the format broadcast on Cuatro, he connected by video call with two researchers who are in Antarctica. His words helped to dismantle the theories of those who deny the existence of this problem. Commander Ignacio Cardesa, head of the Gabriel de Castilla Antarctic base, and Antonio Tovar, researcher at the Andalusian Institute of Marine Sciences contributed their testimony. They indicated that they were not monitoring the ice melt at the pole because it is not their task, but they said that the problem is obvious: "This year we do not see ice and other times we see a lot." "There are signs that we detect at the foot of the field. Last year around this time the maximum temperature recorded in the last 15 years was reached. It was 13 degrees, eight above the usual average. There are changes and we see them," declared Tovar. He also explained that among the projects carried out at the base there is one that has to do with the disappearance of some animals that live in those latitudes: "One of them is to see the impact that the decrease in penguin po[CENSORED]tions would have on all cycles and over the entire Antarctic ecology. " The presenter had to close the connection because he was running out of time and concluded: "Climate change yes in this part of the planet, right?" The researcher responded bluntly: "Without a doubt." Cardesa added that he was not an expert in this matter, but pointed out that he agreed with his colleague: "I trust scientists." DIVISION OF OPINIONS AMONG COLLABORATORS The collaborators present at the Horizonte table showed different opinions on climate change, a topic they discussed in the program after recalling the consequences of the snow that Filomena left in Madrid or the high temperatures registered in January. Juan Bordera, a member of the Valencia organization in transition, commented: "We are in a climate emergency situation that we are not able to understand." He pointed to the energy companies as the culprits. Maite Mompó, environmental activist and spokesperson for Protectors of the Earth, supported his statements and spoke of an experiment that shows that the thaw is a reality. The program stated that the sea level could rise up to 1.20 meters in the next centuries. On the other hand, the journalist José Luis Barceló recalled that "in the 70s it was said that we were going to hyperglaciation" and raised: "Who tells us that we are getting it right now?" He also charged at Greta Thunberg, on whom he said she has been mani[CENSORED]ted since she was born.

Buenos Aires (AP) - Argentine doctors and health personnel formed a long line Tuesday in front of the River Plate club's soccer stadium to receive the long-awaited coronavirus vaccine as the government accelerated negotiations with China to receive new doses before the delay in the delivery of the Sputnik V of Russian origin. The “millionaire” club, one of the most po[CENSORED]r in the South American country, lent its facilities so that the Buenos Aires mayor's office can vaccinate health professionals who work independently. On the first day, 400 doses were applied to the 16 posts installed on the basketball court that works under one of the stands of the “Monumental” stadium. "It is a hope, the truth is that every day you get up and you have to adjust to the situation, this is science fiction about the virus," said psychoanalyst Florencia Albanese while she waited to enter the vaccination compartment installed in River. The woman had to stop attending patients in person because her husband has health problems that would be complicated in the event of contracting COVID-19. Argentina has applied about 400,000 doses of the Sputnik V vaccine -only to health personnel- since late December, when the first shipment from Russia arrived. The figure is well below the five million doses that President Alberto Fernández himself had scheduled for the first month of 2021. The nurse David Mora, who cares for cancer patients at home, muttered angrily upon entering the River because he had not been vaccinated under the pretext that he is not a resident of the capital. “They don't vaccinate me because they tell me that I live in the province and that I have to go to the province. But I work in capital, ”the man complained. “I can't go without vaccinating because if I catch COVID I end up killing all the patients I have. I see young people who are on turn to get vaccinated and those of us who are at risk, over 50 years old, are not vaccinated ”. The mayor of Buenos Aires establishes as requirements to be vaccinated to have a valid national registration and address in the city. "The doses they give us are not yet enough to complete the stage of health workers," admitted the Minister of Health of the capital, Fernán Quirós. “In total, we received 38,000 vaccination schedules ... the medical personnel are 130,000 people, we have to be patient. The process is going to be long ”. The Argentine president raised the issue of the vaccine delay in a telephone conversation he had on Tuesday with his counterpart from the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, who informed him that "vaccine production is being increased so that Argentina receives the agreed volume of vaccines, "according to a statement from the Argentine presidency. However, it is expected that the demand for the Sputnik V vaccine will grow in the coming weeks after this Tuesday the British medical journal The Lancet published preliminary results of a study according to which the drug is 91% effective and has no harmful effects.

Round two of the FIA World Rally Championship (26-28 February) is the first winter round of the WRC in Finland. It will be based in Rovaniemi, on the edge of the Arctic Circle, and will have 10 sections of 251.08 km. "The Arctic Rally Finland Powered by CapitalBox is the best winter motorsport and we cannot wait to deliver a fantastic, challenging and compact addition to the FIA World Rally Championship calendar under rigorous Covid-19 protocols." said Deputy Secretary Kari Nuutinen. "Ambient temperatures should be between -6 ° C and -14 ° C during the week of the rally, although it could drop as low as -20 ° C. And there will be a lot of snow, or what the Lapps call 'white gold', on the ground. so the conditions are perfect for a winter rally. " The event will include sections already seen in the Rally of Arctic Lapland, which opened the Finnish championship last month, with other parts to be traversed in reverse. Following the shakedown on Friday morning, the rally kicks off in the early afternoon with a double pass the 31.05km stage in Sarriojärvi, northeast of the city. "Sarriojärvi runs through probably the most beautiful terrain in the Arctic Circle," Nuutinen said. "The stages are fluid and it will be one of the drivers' favorites as the second pass takes place at night. "This is the longest stage of the rally and the teams will have to be prepared for some extremely narrow sections and many curves over ridges. The snow banks were one meter high during the recent route planning." Saturday's second stage features a compact route around Vanttauskoski. Mustalampi (24.43 km), Kaihuavaara (19.91 km) and Siikakämä (27.68 km) will be run twice, with the second run in the dark. Mustalampi passes over a frozen swamp before ending up in a spectacular area in a driver training zone. Kaihuavaara is very fast, with narrow and complicated sections, and Siikakämä is the typical forest road of the region. Sunday's final day comprises two passes through Aittajärvi (22.47 km), south of Rovaniemi, and the second counts as the Wolf Power Stage, with bonus points up for grabs in all categories. "This is a legendary stretch of Lapland with an area passing through the Niemelä farms. It is hard to compare to anything else and has to be seen to be believed," Nuutinen explained. Conditions are so extreme that each car must carry a winter survival kit that includes two shovels and warm clothing to protect the crew if it stalls.

"The 100 percent electric version of the Jumpy provides professionals with concrete solutions to the new challenges of mobility. Beyond the product, this award rewards the relationship of trust that we have been able to create over the years with each of them. Our goal is to demonstrate our innovative spirit both in our products and in our services and to provide greater ease of use and greater well-being in everyday life through tailor-made solutions. This award, given by a jury of expert journalists, will give a greater push, if possible, the commercial ambition that we have for this model ”, continued Cobée. e-Jumpy voted "Industrial Vehicle of the Year" by l’Argus After being awarded by the members of the I-VOTY jury with the title of “International Van Of The Year 2021” last December, the Citroen e-Jumpy received yesterday the Trophy de l'Argus as “Industrial Vehicle of the Year 2021” . An award that completes and reinforces the commercial success of the Jumpy. This award is of particular importance since it has been awarded by a mixed jury made up of journalists, valuation experts and professionals particularly involved in the problems of commercial vehicles. It underlines once again Citroen's desire to adapt to the new demands of professionals in terms of products and services. The ë-Jumpy is the answer to the new mobility challenges for professionals and the self-employed.

The e-Jumpy is easily recharged both in a domestic socket (mode 2 cable in a standard 8A socket or reinforced 16A with a Green'Up type socket), in a public or private installation (mode 3 - 32A cable with charging point wall) or even in a public super-fast charger that can recharge 80 percent of the battery in just 30 minutes. The use of electrical energy also reduces the costs of use. The e-Jumpy is equipped with the same features already recognized in the thermal versions such as the different bodies, the height of 1.90 meters, which allows access to all car parks, the useful volume of up to 6.6 m3, the payload of up to 1,275 kg and the modularity provided, above all, by the Moduwork that allows the front part to be adapted to turn it into a mobile office.

Since 8 in the morning, Bolivians have cast their votes in the different electoral precincts divided into two groups - according to their identity document number - in compliance with biosecurity measures. For the first time, security has been strengthened when holding elections, with the participation of members of the Armed Forces. In previous elections, order was only safeguarded with the presence of the Bolivian Police. This fact provoked discomfort both among the candidates and among the po[CENSORED]tion, considering the measure excessive, taken before the warnings of national and international organizations about possible disturbances announced mainly by supporters of Evo Morales' party, Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS). In recent days, some groups announced their intention to carry out demonstrations, but at this time no action had been registered, according to information provided by a spokesman for the Supreme Electoral Tribunal. At 6 in the afternoon (midnight in Spain) the closing of the polling stations is scheduled to begin the official vote count that will be announced in the coming days. Controversial decision The decision of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) to suspend the quick count today divided the opinion of politicians and international observers. Six months ago, the Court announced the use of the Preliminary Results Dissemination system (Direpre) to reinforce the transparency of the electoral process on the day of the elections, before the official results. Surprisingly, a few hours after the elections, the TSE announced that it would not be used. The MAS candidate, Luis Arce, commented on his doubts about this decision: «With one day left before they make this decision (…) it seems not very wise, they (TSE) are the owners of the election, and what can happen is that this can raise doubts. For his part, the candidate of the Citizen Community (CC), Carlos Mesa, second favorite for the presidential position, regretted the decision, considering that it was not an "ideal" measure, although he believed that it could guarantee the official vote count, recalling the events recorded in the last elections of October 20, 2019: "If we think coldly about it, what we are going to have is the minute-by-minute count that each of us will be able to access them, so patience and security." The delegations of international observers also issued a joint statement supporting the determination of the Electoral Tribunal

The future of Pablo Iglesias and in general, of the Dina case, is once again in the hands of the National Court. Both the vice president and the Anticorruption Prosecutor's Office and the only three defendants who had this matter, Interviú journalists Alberto Pozas and Luis Rendueles, and Commissioner José Manuel Villarejo - he is finalizing the appeal -, have appealed to the Chamber of the Criminal against the decision of the instructor to raise a reasoned statement to the Supreme Court to investigate Iglesias and prosecute the rest, ending the instruction of this separate piece. Again, the Dina case is in the hands of the Criminal Chamber, the same one that a few months ago returned Iglesias the condition of injured in this separate piece from which he was expelled because Anti-Corruption and the judge concluded that the law was not sufficiently tied Villarejo's participation in the dissemination of the contents of that mobile phone, some chat screenshots that left him looking like a macho. If it could be an internal leak, he might not be the victim. In addition, they placed him as a suspect in two crimes for hiding Bousselham for months that he had his mobile memory card and returning it to him "inoperative". With these letters on the table, the judge closed the matter last week. He sent a reasoned statement to the Supreme Court proposing that Iglesias, who is gauged, be investigated for these two crimes plus another for a false complaint, while he agreed to prosecute the two journalists and the commissioner through whose hands he passed the information on the advisor's mobile. Everything is back in the air. In the case of Iglesias, the appeal is directed against the step taken by Judge Manuel García Castellón to ask the Supreme Court to open a case against him. He understands that the initiative is "arbitrary and unjustified" and has been adopted "without substantiating new elements that justify agreeing to end the investigation phase" and also, in breach of the Chamber's mandate to keep him as a victim. "In practice, he once again withdraws the condition of injured party by urging that he be considered investigated," says the letter. It also understands that the step taken by the judge suffers from "radical nullity", to begin with, because "if it considered that the facts that it has investigated are alien" to the Villarejo criminal organization, as is the case in his rationale, "it should have been inhibited in an ordinary court of Madrid ”and that from there, the facts were investigated and raised, where appropriate, before the Supreme Court. It is a thesis shared by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, which in its appeal to the Criminal Chamber speaks of "false closure" of the investigation and in an internal note sent to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office, it states that the facts that affect Iglesias were not competence of the National Court but they have not been sufficiently investigated to reach the Admissions Room by elevation. It must have been the Alcorcón courts, where Bousselham first denounced that the theft of the mobile phone could be related to the dissemination of the content, who understood the facts before going further, as explained in sources from this body. They add in their appeal to the Chamber that there are still steps to be taken, such as Bousselham's taking the statement that they have been asking for since they proposed to expel Iglesias from the case or the experts who examined the card to determine whether it suffered damages outside of the caused by the technical service. "It is unfounded" For Iglesias, the reasoning has been raised "in an absolutely unfounded way", "without the assumptions of the examining magistrate having been accredited", which points to a "strategy" orchestrated by the vice president in search of "electoral revenue" for which there would be defended in court, "knowing that it was false" that the theft of the mobile phone and the publication of its contents was a matter for the State sewers. He says that these "cannot be ignored by the mere statements of a witness with manifest enmity" with respect to the vice president and the members of the legal team whom he also asks to investigate, in relation to the former lawyer of the party José Manuel Calvente, who said in court that the whole Dina case was a hoax. It also refers to the crimes of revealing secrets -which he denies because Bousselham has neither denounced him nor has expressed any intention of doing so- and computer damage, which he refutes because in the case it has not been clarified whether or not who, how or when they exist. caused. He requests the annulment of the order that closed the matter and sent his part to the Supreme Court. Iglesias "poisoned" the cause As for the director and deputy director of the defunct Interviú, Alberto Pozas and Luis Rendueles, the only defendants in this piece together with Villarejo, they have resorted to the Criminal Chamber because they see the decisions to prosecute them at the same time as being "absolutely incompatible". It raised the rationale since the victims in the first case are the suspects in the second. They understand that it is "an extreme incongruity and incompatibility" that they are prosecuted for disclosure of secrets while it is attributed to the alleged victims of that disclosure "withholding and destroying the material on which the accusation is based, and falsely reporting and failing to do so. the truth in the course of the procedure. «The card damaged by Iglesias is the core material element of the crime attributed to Pozas y Rendueles, so that the action of the injured party on it cannot have consequences only on his own responsibility but, from the moment in which that action has hindered and even prevented the investigation of what really happened, such action should also display consequences on the attribution of the crime to my clients ", explains the letter of the lawyer Sergi Mercé. Specifically, it points out that “the actions of Iglesias have prevented knowing what exactly arrived at Interviú, whether the original card or a total or partial copy, to verify whether or not what was found at Villarejo's address coincides with the content. of that card "and to carry out, in short," the necessary computer checks to determine even whether or not what was on it was actually the content of Bousselham's mobile phone. " «After the instruction carried out, it cannot be known whether what came into the hands of Pozas was the original card or a copy of it, nor whether said copy was total or partial, nor, most importantly, whether what arrived at Interviú is what later he was found at Villarejo's home or, on the contrary, he was able to access that information by other means, "they state. "Absolutely incongruous" They point out that all of this “has not been able to be ascertained solely and exclusively by the actions of the injured parties and specifically, by the actions of Iglesias damaging the card he received from Asensio, as indicated in the rationale, thus preventing his action to find out essential elements of the crime that is being attributed »to Pozas y Rendueles. "It is absolutely incongruous and incompatible to maintain the accusation of my clients when one of the injured parties has prevented, with his criminal action, from following various lines of investigation and has, in short, dynamited the investigation of what really happened," adds the letter. Along the same lines, they see "legally and morally untenable that a legitimate accusation can be upheld by someone who is incidentally responsible for trying to falsely simulate non-existent facts", that is: if what Iglesias denounced was false, he lacks the legitimacy to criminally accuse thus. They add that if the vice president had informed Antonio Asensio that the card he was handing him came from a stolen mobile phone, Interviú "obviously" would have immediately informed the police and none of this would have happened: "It would not have been received anymore Villarejo's request ”for which they gave him a copy of the content. "The falsehoods and omissions that from the beginning have been incorporated into the accusatory account have already poisoned the entire procedure since its inception and part of them are prior to the intervention of Pozas and Rendueles," the letter reasons.

PharmaMar has announced that its Aplicov-PC clinical trial, with Aplidin (plitidepsin), for the treatment of adult patients with Covid-19, requiring hospital admission, has achieved the primary safety and secondary efficacy objectives. Specifically, as the company explained, the study evaluated three cohorts of patients with three different dose levels of plitidepsin (1.5 mg, 2 mg and 2.5 mg), administered for three consecutive days and the load The viral load of the patients has been quantitatively and centrally evaluated at the start of treatment and on days 4, 7, 15 and 30 thereafter. The study has shown a notable reduction in viral load in patients between days 4 and 7 after starting treatment, such that the average reduction in viral load on day 7 was 50%, and 70% on day fifteen. More than 90% of the patients included in the trial had medium or high viral loads at the beginning. 80.7% of the patients were discharged from hospital on or before day 15 of hospitalization, and 38.2% before day 8 (according to the protocol, they must be hospitalized for a minimum of 7 days). Likewise, according to the firm, a notable parallel is observed between the decrease in viral load, clinical improvement and the resolution of pneumonia, as well as a fall in inflammation parameters, such as C-reactive protein (CRP). By day 30, in the scheduled clinical visit, none of the patients treated with plitidepsin had developed symptoms or signs derived from Covid-19 infection. PharmaMar has highlighted that these results confirm both safety and activity. "Safety has already been seen in other studies, with approximately 1,300 cancer patients treated at much higher doses, and the activity has already been seen in 'in vitro' and 'in vivo' studies in different internationally renowned laboratories," says the firm. . After the results obtained in this first group of patients, in order to keep the study open in hospitals, allow access to treatment to those patients who need it, the company has obtained from the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS ) authorization for an extension of the patient cohort. This, in addition, will allow to obtain more data on the treatment in this indication. With this data, the company will begin, in the coming days, conversations with regulatory agencies to define the next phase III study of plitidepsin registration in patients with Covid-19 who require hospitalization. The firm has indicated that the complete data of the study will be published in future scientific conferences and / or in an article in a prestigious medical journal.

The agreement was initialed during the Germany-China Automotive Conference in Changchun, northern China. In the future, Audi will also produce electric vehicles based on the Premium Electric Platform (PPE), developed together with Porsche, in China to further advance the transformation of what remains its largest market. From 2024, various fully electric propulsion models will be manufactured for the Chinese market on this new platform. "This decision underscores the strategic importance of the Chinese market, which we are actively driving forward through innovation," said Markus Duesmann, Chairman of the Board of Management of Audi AG and responsible for the brand's activities for the Chinese market. By signing the memorandum of understanding, Audi reaffirms its cooperation with its partner FAW. At the same time, the brand with the four rings consistently follows the strategy towards sustainable mobility in China, specifically orienting its local range of products to the needs and wishes of premium segment customers in this market. Plans for the new company are still under development. Production is scheduled to start in 2024. Werner Eichhorn, President of Audi China, says: “This is yet another milestone in our electrification strategy for the Chinese market. In addition, we confirm our commitment, both with our traditional Chinese partner FAW, and with our activities in China, which we are now raising to a new level ”. Audi's electric initiative in China has already started: Audi and FAW jointly produce the all-electric e-tron Q2L and the A6L TFSIe plug-in hybrid. Furthermore, the Audi e-tron, which was previously imported for this market, has been produced locally in Changchun since the end of September. Over the next few years, Audi will offer more fully electric models of the e-tron family in this Asian market, also locating the production of some of them in its factories in China. By 2025, the plans of the brand with the four rings contemplate that approximately a third of its sales in the Asian giant will be electrified cars. From January to September 2020, Audi delivered 512,081 vehicles to customers in China, a 4.5 percent increase over the same period last year. Despite the interruptions in production due to the coronavirus, the brand has achieved the best result in its 30-year history in this country. Audi already produces in four locations in China through the FAW-VW joint venture: Changchun, Foshan, Tianjin and Qingdao, with a total capacity of approximately 700,000 vehicles.

The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, announced on Wednesday that the Paris region and eight other French cities will have a curfew to fight the pandemic. In addition, an exceptional council of ministers, chaired by Emmanuel Macron, approved on Wednesday the restoration of the national "state of health emergency" as of Saturday the 17th, an administrative and institutional formula halfway between partial confinement and the curfew " to the letter". The official statement of the Council of the Minister justifies the restoration of the "national state of emergency" for these reasons: "The spread of Covid-19 is a health threat to the health of the entire po[CENSORED]tion, due to its severity. Such a situation justifies the declaration of the state of sanitary emergency, in order to take measures strictly proportional to the recognized sanitary risks ”. The French National Assembly (AN) approved the declaration of the state of national health emergency on March 22, initiating the process of confinement. That state of urgency was lifted last July, when the pandemic seemed to "subside." Two and a half months later, the second wave of Covid-17 spread has taken on alarming proportions. And President Macron has decided to restore the state of national health emergency, which allows his government to take coercive measures of this nature: limit circulation in certain areas, prohibit non-essential movements, order the closure of very different types of establishments. , limit public meetings, take coercive measures by decree. Once the restoration of the state of health emergency has been approved, the Government must quickly specify the specific scope that a State resource will take, for the second time, that oscillates between confinement to variable geometry and a la carte curfew. State of sanitary urgency, confinement and curfew may take different faces, local and regional, in Paris and other large cities and the different regions and departments of France. Starting this Thursday, the government and local, regional and departmental authorities will announce the various practical measures that will come into effect from Saturday.

With six teams entered (Ostberg-Eriksen, Bulacia-Der Ohannesian, Rossel-Fulcrand, Camilli-Buresi, Ciamin-Roche, Johnston-Kihurani), the # C3R5Family was very optimistic in Sardinia, to contest the sixth round of the world championship of rallies. With eleven best times out of sixteen possible thanks to Mads Ostberg, the C3 R5 was one of the animators of WRC2 on one of the most demanding terrain of the season. A transmission problem was regrettable at the start of the rally. The fourth position points achieved can be decisive in the fight for the WRC2 title. In WRC3 the C3 R5 has shown its competitiveness with a total of seven best times among all the drivers. This competitiveness was rewarded by third place for Marco Bulacia, who has already won in Mexico and was second in Turkey, allowing him to retain the championship lead. From SS2, Marco was delayed by a flat tire, and from there he started a smart race, setting a better time, to go back to the podium. A podium that both Yohan Rossel and Nicolas Ciamin could have been on. Both made an excellent first stage, placing second and third in their category before the test began on Saturday morning, when the mechanics surprised them. They confirmed their high level of performance on these stages, each setting a best time when they returned to competition on Sunday. Eric Camilli, a brilliant WRC3 winner at Monte-Carlo, was putting in a good showing aspiring for second place in the category, before running into a technical problem on the first day, and then forced to retire at the start of day two. as a result of an accident. Didier Clément, Head of Customer Competition at Citroen Racing said: "It was a difficult weekend for all of us, the car was very competitive, as it shows every weekend anywhere, but surprisingly we lacked reliability. It was frustrating. As we had the speed and our drivers have shown that they could take the C3 R5 to the best positions in each stage in this highly selective Rally of Sardinia. Every day we work to offer a more reliable car with more performance. This weekend It was difficult, but I have no doubt that our teams will come back stronger in the next rounds on the calendar. " Marco Bulacia, third in the WRC3 with the C3 R5 said: "After the flat we suffered at the beginning, we did not get demoralized and we continued riding with the hope of coming back in qualifying, and consequently I am very happy with the result. I liked my C3 R5, which was very efficient and especially easy to drive on such groundbreaking terrain. If we decide to contest a fifth round, as the regulations allow, our choice will be Monza " Mads Ostberg stated: "'I am disappointed in our start to the race, even if we got a lot of positives out of this weekend, with two very good stages on Saturday and Sunday. We did everything we could to come back, and recovered four of the six minutes lost. We are going to concentrate on the remaining asphalt tests, it is a surface where I know the car is very competitive, and for my part I am very confident in my ability to fight for victory. "

Hispanidad Day is celebrated in Córdoba with a large bullfighting poster. The little game of the Jandilla cattle and the bad use of the steel prevent a resounding victory but Morante, very determined, fights wonderfully; Juan Ortega, with less experience, points out aesthetic details. On the day of our National Holiday, I remember what Antonio Gala, my friend, from Cordoba, says: the two greatest links that unite Spain with the Spanish-American countries are our common language and the Fiesta de los toros. Although he was from Seville, Ignacio Sánchez Mejías called Córdoba "the home of all bullfighters." If the anti-bullfighting troops triumphed - he said - "Córdoba would be our refuge." This is what happens now, because of the virus: it is the only first-class Spanish square that this season offers a celebration. The businessman, José María Garzón, deserves praise. Also, the poster is very attractive. Too bad that Pablo Aguado falls from him! With Morante and Ortega, they are the three current representatives of genuine Sevillian bullfighting, made of naturalness, simplicity and grace. It is not uncommon for the allowed capacity to have been sold in one day. Perhaps driven by the event, Morante shows a great dedication this afternoon. The first brakes and digs, charges decomposed. José Antonio gives him the correct fight, without wrinkling, from the receipt, with veronica, flexing his knee; He ends up taking three temperate right hands but kills badly. In the third, not easy, given to Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo, Morante makes a remarkable effort. Without a doubt, he manages to get good passes from the bull on both sides, first causing the start and then taking advantage of the inertia to draw precious crutches. In times of trouble, he knows how to get out of luck with panache. He loses trophies for killing badly but he reminds me of what people used to say about him, that he is the bravest of bullfighter artists. Morante leaves the routine, the trite, offers a variety that, for Cervantes, is the basis of delight Like the fifth, like his brothers, he dulls the veronicas, resorts to the graceful chicueline. Replica Ortega for the same suit (before, it was almost obligatory to opt for other sets, if they were competing in takes away). Aurelio Cruz measures the punishment well and this bull is left, without more. The beginning of the task is beautiful, linking those helped with trincherillas and chest, to the chords of the wonderful "Suspiros from Spain". Low-handed right hands put the audience on their feet. On the left, the bull protests, he has to send a lot and pull resources. In homage to Córdoba, he gives some ballet flats that are not part of his usual repertoire and concludes with excellent two-handed help. Loses both ears when killing. Although he had already pointed out qualities, Juan Ortega has been, for many, the great revelation of this unique season. One afternoon was enough to revolutionize what Cañabate called "the planet of the bulls." He shows off the figure of an old, classic bullfighter, and his style is too, with echoes of Chicuelo, Pepe Luis, Pepín Martín Vázquez ... In the second, the most manageable, the two right-handers compete for veronica. Toast Morante and draw naturals naturally: it is not a redundancy but a delight. The lunge falls low. The fourth protests and ends up turning dangerously. Juan points out his good style but the bull does not leave him anymore, after three moments of trouble. Kill the third. The latter is very bland and out of date. Ortega sleeps his cape in a category veronica and repeats for aprons. The bull ignores, does not transmit anything, the task is impossible. Kill the second. He has to improve with the sword and fight more, to gain experience, but he has a very beautiful style. Juan de Valdés's phrase reminded me: I write as I speak and without any affectation ... This is how Juan Ortega tries to fight, without any affectation, with a simple naturalness that is exciting. Without trophies, Morante has offered a great afternoon. This time, he has joined the decision to his personal bullfighting. It leaves the routine, the trite, offers a variety that, for Cervantes, is the basis of delight. As the Count de las Navas proclaimed one hundred and twenty years ago, bullfighting continues to be "the most national spectacle."

This delivery represents the official introduction of Hyundai's commercial vehicles to the European market and marks a milestone in its expansion into the commercial markets of North America and China. "The delivery of the XCient Fuel Cell opens a new chapter not only for Hyundai's hydrogen boost, but also for the use of hydrogen as a clean energy source by the global community," said In Cheol Lee, Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer. Hyundai Motor's Commercial Vehicles Division. "This delivery is just the beginning as it opens up endless possibilities for clean mobility. With the successful delivery of the first XCient Fuel Cell trucks, we proudly announce our expansion plan beyond Europe to North America and China, where we are already making great progress. " The XCient Fuel Cell's production capacity will reach 2,000 units annually by 2021 to support its expansion in Europe, the United States and China as the demand for clean mobility grows. The increased capacity will be supported by a $ 1.3 billion investment, in addition to a previously announced $ 6.4 billion stake in establishing a hydrogen ecosystem to support the creation of a hydrogen society. In the United States, Hyundai is collaborating with logistics leaders to supply mass-produced heavy fuel cell trucks. Hyundai unveiled the HDC-6 Neptune Concept Class 8 fuel cell heavy truck at the North American Commercial Vehicle (NACV) Show in October 2019, giving a glimpse of what the future holds as well as Hyundai's plans. To support this plan, Hyundai is partnering with companies to build a complete hydrogen value chain that encompasses everything from hydrogen production and charging stations to service and maintenance. The North American market will also have a 6x4 tractor unit. By 2030, Hyundai expects more than 12,000 fuel cell trucks to hit US roads. Hyundai is also working with China, which aims to reach 1 million hydrogen vehicles on its roads by 2030, as the country's hydrogen industry is experiencing strong growth dynamics, offering great potential. Initially, Hyundai will focus on China's four major hydrogen hubs: Jin-jin-ji, the Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong Province and Sichuan Province. It is currently considering cooperative initiatives, such as a joint venture with local partners. Three fuel cell electric trucks are scheduled to launch in China: a medium tonnage truck in 2022, a heavy truck in a couple of years and another strategically designed heavy truck for the Chinese market. With these models, Hyundai's goal is to reach an aggregate sales volume of 27,000 units by 2030. A key driver for Hyundai's global expansion of fuel cell trucks will be the successful launch of XCient Fuel Cell in Europe. The seven customers who received the first batch of XCient Fuel Cell trucks will transport loads of consumer goods throughout Switzerland, emitting nothing but clean water. Operations will be supported by a robust green hydrogen ecosystem. In 2019, Hyundai Motor Company formed Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility (HHM), a joint venture with Swiss company H2 Energy. HHM has also partnered with Hydrospider, a joint venture of H2 Energy, Alpiq and Linde. Customers will rent XCient Fuel Cell trucks from HHM on a pay-as-you-go basis that does not require an initial investment. Hyundai will take its successful Swiss expertise to other European markets as Hyundai establishes solutions and a partner network in Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and Austria. As part of its production expansion plan, Hyundai expects to deliver 1,600 commercial fuel cell trucks by 2025. Currently, Coop, Migros, Traveco, Galliker Logistics, Camion Transport, F. Murpf AG and G. Leclerc Transport AG, among others, have placed orders for XCient Fuel Cell. They will use trucks to transport everything from food to cars throughout Europe. To support the growing hydrogen ecosystem, Hyundai has a business case for more than 100 hydrogen fueling stations in Switzerland, which is sufficient for both commercial vehicles and passenger fuel cell electric vehicles. Similarly, Hyundai plans to act as an industry connector to attract diverse players to the hydrogen value chain as part of its value-adding efforts. XCient is powered by a 190 kW hydrogen fuel cell system with two 95 kW fuel cells. Seven large hydrogen tanks offer a combined storage capacity of about 32.09 kg of hydrogen. The XCient's fuel cell range is around 400 km *, which was developed with an optimal balance between the specific requirements of prospective commercial fleet customers and the Swiss charging infrastructure. The recharging time for each truck is approximately 8 to 20 minutes. Hyundai will introduce a full model change for the XCient Fuel Cell to be installed on a dedicated hydrogen fuel cell truck bed in the coming years. The new model will feature an electric axle and two 200 kW fuel cell systems that are under development. The new model line will include 4x2 and 6x2 cargo trucks and 4x2 tractors that can cover a significant portion of Europe's leading heavy truck market. The 44-ton Tractor will have a range of up to 1,000 kilometers on a single charge. These models will help to replace pollutant emitting diesel trucks. Hyundai has been dedicated to further developing fuel cell technology and establishing the supply chain to achieve a "Hydrogen Economy" for a better and cleaner future, an effort that has been recognized around the world. Hyundai Motor's Hydrogen Mobility Solution won the “Truck Innovation Award” at the International Truck of the Year (IToY) last year and XCient FC won the Innovation Award in Hydrogen Power and Fuel Cell Technology at the 5th Forum of Shanghai, held in September this year. * The range is approximately 400 km on the 4X2 refrigerated truck + 34 ton trailer

The death of co-driver Laura Salvo has shaken Spanish motorsport this Saturday. The Valencian woman, only 21 years old, has lost her life after a fatal accident in the first stage of the Vidreiro Rally, the fifth scoring round of the Portuguese national championship and second of the 2020 Peugeot Rally Cup Ibérica. The event occurred in the Campos area de Lis, northwest of the town of Leiria. The Peugeot 208 Rally4 driven by the Balearic Miquel Socias was traveling at high speed through a wooded area when he lost control of the vehicle and left the asphalt. The car was hitting squarely on the right side, where Laura Salvo was, against one of the trees on the road. Before, in the same place, another Peugeot 208 had also crashed, that of the Portuguese Carlos Fernandes. In this case without consequences. The fans present in the stage helped to get the vehicle out, although the Portuguese could not continue in competition. Carlos Fernandes has seen a saida from the road crashing with a pinheiro, with the help of the public, he was withdrawn from the road. Depois not the same local or Spanish pilot Miquel Socias also had a saída de estrada batting no pinheiro and that would be fatal for his navigator. After the collision between Socias and Salvo, the assistance did not take long to arrive, since the accident occurred at the beginning of the section, and the co-pilot was immediately evacuated to an area where a helicopter was waiting for transfer to the hospital. Unfortunately, Laura Salvo did not get on the aircraft alive. A few stages later, after knowing the death, the organization of the rally, in agreement with the rest of the pilots, decided to cancel the test. It so happens that Laura's sister, María Salvo, was also competing in the rally, in her case as Sergi Francolí's co-driver. Despite her youth, Laura Salvo already had extensive experience as a co-pilot. This season he already had two overall victories, in the Bierzo Rally, to the right of Surhayen Pernía, and in the Ciudad de Jijona Rally, with Miquel Socias himself. Laura had just finished law school and was aiming to become a national police officer.

The Eighth Section of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) has rejected this Thursday to authorize, as is mandatory, the package of restrictions agreed by the Community of Madrid in line with the order of the Ministry of Health to stop the spread of the coronavirus. It understands that it has neither the capacity nor the legal protection to adopt measures that harm the fundamental rights of citizens. The Ministry of Health of the Community of Madrid approved last week an order that transposed the previous dictation of the Ministry of Health as a result of the meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the Branch. It entails restrictions on mobility in municipalities with more than 100,000 inhabitants, as well as other measures such as control of capacity and hours, which the Prosecutor's Office considered appropriate because it considered that they were proportionate, necessary and adjusted to the law in the sense that the region complied Government orders: it was empowered to do so. However, the Chamber concludes that the legal framework under which Health issued the order, - Law 16/2003, of May 28, on the cohesion and quality of the National Health System - «does not contain a legal authorization for the establishment of of restrictive measures of fundamental rights ”as in this case would be the restriction of the freedom of movement of citizens. The whole order thus turns in relation to the power that Madrid would have or not to affect those essential rights of citizenship, "regardless of whether the restrictive measures of such fundamental right were necessary and suitable to prevent the spread of the disease in a pandemic situation like the current one ”. As he explains, “the only enabling legal title” that protected Madrid to dictate the restrictions was that Health Law and although the Government reformed it last June by Royal Decree to “guarantee adequate coordination between the health authorities and reinforce the functioning of the The national health system as a whole in the face of health crises ”, did not introduce among its purposes“ to authorize measures that limit freedom of movement, as shown by the fact that it repeatedly associates them with the declaration of a state of alarm ”. “It is striking that, given the described health scenario, a reform of our regulatory framework more in line with the confessed needs to effectively combat the Covid-19 pandemic and face the serious health crisis that the country is suffering was not addressed, despite the existing doctrinal consensus about that the current regulation of normative instruments that allow the limitation of fundamental rights, in order to protect physical integrity (...) is certainly deficient and in need of clarification, ”criticizes the TSJM. An interference without legal protection Thus, it concludes that “the limiting measures of fundamental rights established by Order 1273/2020, of October 1, of the Ministry of Health, merely in execution of the communicated Order of September 30, 2020, constitute an interference by the public powers in the fundamental rights of the citizens without legal authorization that protects it, that is to say, not authorized by their representatives in the General Courts, therefore it cannot be ratified. The order recalls that "it corresponds to the representatives of the citizens in the General Courts the delimitation and the modulation of the fundamental rights of the people, under the requirements of proportionality, certainty and predictability and, in any case, respecting their essential content", and this circumstance does not occur in the restrictions for Madrid. In other words, the fundamental rights that the Constitution attributes to citizens cannot be affected by any unauthorized state interference by their representatives through a provision with the rank of Law, which meets the minimum sufficient conditions required by the requirements of legal security and certainty of law, he adds. The magistrates say they are aware of the seriousness of the situation and of "the need to adopt immediate and effective measures of various kinds to protect the health of citizens" among which "it could include limiting measures of fundamental rights of greater or lesser scope" , but it must be done in a way that conforms to the law. "For this, our constitutional system articulates legal instruments of diverse nature that offer different legal channels to define, modulate, restrict, and even suspend the fundamental rights of people, respecting constitutional guarantees," they recall. A different scenario In their resolution, the magistrates of the TSJM refer to the ratification that the judicial body gave to the anticovid measures of Madrid last August, which included, for example, the prohibition of smoking on the terraces without separation of at least two meters between clients. As he exposes in response to the allegations of the Prosecutor's Office, which went along that line, that battery of measures with which now has been submitted to the judgment of the court is not comparable, again, due to the difference in the legal authorization to adopt one or more others and their consequences for citizens. "In such Orders, the basis of their decisions on the imposition of sanitary measures was found in the specific normative framework that they mentioned (Organic Law of Special Measures in Public Health, General Law of Health, General Law of Public Health and Law of Ordination Health of the Community of Madrid), and always by its own exercise of powers, and not, as here, mediating an Order communicated from the Ministry of Health, "he explains. He insists that the Ministry of Health "is compelled by the Ministry of Health to adopt the measures" that it is now submitting for ratification "based only on compliance with what is ordered and, above all, based on the provisions of article 65 of Law 16/2003, of May 28 ". "This means, again we reiterate, that we are situated in a completely different scenario from the previous ones," he adds.
