Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused Ukraine of attacking the bridge to Russian-annexed Crimea, saying that it was an "act of terrorism". President Putin said Ukraine's intelligence forces had aimed to destroy a critically important piece of Russia's civil infrastructure. He was speaking at a meeting with the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin. Officials say three people were killed in the blast on the bridge. Who - or what - blew up the Crimean bridge? Excitement and fear in Ukraine after bridge blast The victims were in a nearby car when a lorry blew up, Russian officials say. "There is no doubt, this is an act of terrorism aimed at destroying Russia's critical civilian infrastructure," Mr Putin said. "Its authors, perpetrators and beneficiaries are the security services of Ukraine." Mr Bastrykin said that citizens of Russia and some foreign states had aided preparations for the attack. According to Mr Bastrykin, investigators have established that the truck which they say blew up travelled through Bulgaria, Georgia, Armenia, North Ossetia and Krasnodar Territory. He has ordered an investigation into the incident which brought down sections of the roadway. Ukrainian officials have not indicated that their forces were behind the attack. On Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged the incident in his nightly address, saying: "Today was not a bad day and mostly sunny on our state's territory." "Unfortunately, it was cloudy in Crimea. Although it was also warm," he added. And a Ukrainian MP told the BBC that regardless of who was responsible for the attack, this was a "big Ukrainian victory and very severe and hard loss for Russia". "The bridge is not destroyed but damaged, but the image of Putin is destroyed, that is the most important thing," Oleksiy Goncharenko said. Russian authorities partially re-opened the roadway part of the bridge hours after the attack but for light traffic only. The railway part of the bridge - where oil tankers caught fire - has also reopened. The 19km (12-mile) bridge, the longest in Europe, is an important supply route for Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. Russia has used the bridge to move military equipment, ammunition, and personnel from Russia to battlefields in southern Ukraine. It was opened by Mr Putin in 2018, four years after Russia's annexation of Crimea. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63195504

Cecilia López, Minister of Agriculture, confessed this Friday morning that she was already on her way to the Casa de Nariño when the Palace called her to inform her to return because President Gustavo Petro was not there. "The president will maintain a private agenda in Cartagena today," reported the president's communications team. José Félix Lafourie, president of Fedegán, was also arriving at the signing of the agreement, which the parties have described as "historic", when he received the same message. (In context: Signing of the land purchase agreement between the Government and Fedegán is postponed) The concern among the large group of journalists who were going to attend what the Government itself shows as one of its greatest achievements in these two months that it has been in power became evident: Where is the president? Why was he not ready to sign a document of such magnitude? "Schedule problems," he replied. This is not the first time that President Petro's absence has been justified in this way. The question, then, is natural: Who manages President Petro's agenda? (You can read: Ministry of the Interior responds to criticism: "They will not be able to divide the Government") This is a matter of importance for two elementary reasons: The time of an incumbent president is priceless. Every second is a very valuable asset to carry out its public policies for the benefit of the country. And the other is the time of others. Call themselves ranchers, taxi drivers, members of the military leadership, mayors. They are all active components of society that deserve to be addressed when previously cited. In these two months, several of the president's interlocutors have received the laconic message of a rescheduling of meetings when "the agenda allows it." In some cases, these are people who have come from distant places and with enormous efforts. “It is a lack of respect regardless of the fact that he is the president of all Colombians, it is a lack of respect towards the 1,100 mayors of the country, where we take our own resources, from the municipalities to come to the city of Bogotá, we believed that we were going to find a dialogue,” said, for example, at the time Jhon Jairo Uribe, mayor of Remedios, Antioquia, the day that Petro stood them up. "How does that do us?" Asked the taxi drivers who had gone a couple of weeks ago to an appointment with the head of state that he did not arrive at, in Corferias, in Bogotá. The commanders of the military leadership, out of the logical respect they owe to their Supreme Commander, refrained from giving an opinion the day he failed to recognize him. Not so the bankers who arrived late, three and a half hours after the scheduled closing of the Asobancaria congress in Cartagena, who left evidence of his annoyance. Of course, the discomfort of the presidents and bankers was as loud as that of generals, colonels, captains and family members who made up the list of more than 200 people who were waiting for him at the troop recognition ceremony. Plus, naturally, the hundreds of soldiers. (You can read: The rebellion of the congressmen of the Historical Pact against ministers) Petro breaches his own order This situation contrasts with Petro's own directive made on Monday, August 8, when he addressed his first Council of Ministers at the Casa de Nariño: "Time is a scarce commodity," he told them. “We have little time, we have to make the most of the time, we don't have time. We cannot fail,” he demanded. His most loyal followers have also been victims of these breaches. Indeed, the trusted team of the then president-elect informed the press that Petro would be the main speaker at the meeting of the Historical Pact bench that met at the Plaza Mayor Events Center in Medellín, on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12. July, where he was going to draw the line of the government that the community would assume. At that time, it was announced that the president-elect would be via streaming, a natural alternative when he was on a short vacation after the exhausting campaign. He didn't show up. Trip to Mexico? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes advice: see the documents you must have Tax reform: what follows after its approval in the first debate? "Basically we had an agenda crossing," said Alfonso Prada, now Minister of the Interior, at the time. “We are finishing off the junction, the agenda is obviously congested. We are deploying all the physical capacity we have to meet the commitments that are being presented.” This absence coincided with the disclosure of what is now his official photograph as president, taken in Caño Cristales, Serranía de La Macarena, in the department of Meta . Some of his critics reproached and interpreted that Petro had not been with the mayors for having crossed his agenda with photographic production. This version was denied by Petro's close circle. Not even his own ministers have been spared from the delays and breaches. There was also a Tuesday when the Casa de Nariño announced for 8:30 a.m. m., the possession of two of his ministers. Then they informed that the act would be at 3:00 p.m. Later that would be the following Wednesday at 8.00 a.m. At the act, Petro arrived late and it was almost around 9:00 a.m. As it also arrived late in Cartagena, Bolívar, to the businessmen who were waiting for them to close the 7th Colombian Business Congress (CEC) of ANDI. And the previous weekend, when the entire government team met precisely to draw a line of action on the management of the Government, was late. https://www.eltiempo.com/politica/gobierno/petro-incumple-otra-cita-quien-le-maneja-la-agenda-al-presidente-708120

The epaulet shark breaks all the rules for marine predators in Australia: it learns to walk before it learns to swim. Barely a meter long, the epaulet shark roams calmly over Australian coral reefs. Unlike its other cousins, with whom the ecosystem cohabits, the species developed feet and fins at the same time. For this reason, according to a study conducted recently by Florida Atlantic University, the animal learns to walk before slipping between ocean currents. Also known by its scientific name, Hemiscyllium ocellatum, it was listed as a benthic shark. The researchers were amazed to realize that the epaulet shark is capable of walking on reefs, but also out of the water. To do this, the authors write in a statement, they move "their body and pushing with their paddle-shaped fins." The epaulet shark is found south of the Great Barrier Reef of Australia. In addition to its impressive ability to walk under and out of water, researchers at Florida Atlantic University discovered that it is capable of withstanding extreme environmental conditions. Not only does it adapt to the high temperatures of the Australian oceans —increasingly higher, due to the climate crisis—, but it also endures long periods without oxygen: "SURPRISINGLY, THIS WALKING SHARK IS ABLE TO SURVIVE COMPLETE ANOXIA (NO OXYGEN) FOR TWO HOURS WITHOUT ADVERSE EFFECTS AND AT A MUCH HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN MOST OTHER HYPOXIA-TOLERANT ANIMALS," THE RESEARCHERS EXPLAIN. And what's more: the epaulette shark learns to walk before it learns to swim. From very early stages of its development, it uses its flat fins to propel itself over coral and sand. Thus, they manage to enter the corals to hunt worms, crustaceans and small fish. However, scientists say that this adaptability has limits. While it is true that they are versatile in terms of how much oxygen they need to live, the changing conditions of coral reefs in Australia threaten their survival. There is still no evidence to support that its physiognomy will be able to withstand the devastation of its natural habitat. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/descubren-un-extrano-tiburon-australiano-con-patas-que-puede-caminar/

Growing Chinese premium EV brand Nio will make its UK debut late next year, company founder and CEO William Li said at Nio’s launch in Germany on Friday. The brand will launch with its mid-sized Nio ET5 saloon, a rival to the Tesla Model 3, and other models more suited in size to the UK market, Li said. “I think smaller cars like the ET5 and another scheduled for production,” Li told Autocar, without naming the additional model. Nio will also introduce battery swap stations in the UK to allow owners to change their batteries in around five minutes, giving the brand a useful selling point if it can install a decent-sized network. The brand has identified a site in London for its signature Nio House plus-sized showroom, which will act as both a showcase for its models and a general hang-out space, following the patten of Nio Houses in China, Norway and Germany. Nio is currently hiring staff for its UK launch, including a brand manager and a sales manager. The overall UK general manager was hired “three days ago”, Li said. No name has been released. Cars will be exclusively leased, either for a fixed period or via a more flexible subscription model that will enable customers to hand back their vehicles with as little as a month’s notice. The subscription model has proven successful for Chinese brand Lynk&Co, owned by Geely, in establishing itself in select mainstream European markets. Nio launched its brand globally in 2016 at an event in London but it restricted sales initially to China. The brand’s move to Europe last year started in Norway, where it also built the first battery swap station. Friday’s launch in Berlin marks the brand’s expansion not just in Germany but also Sweden, the Netherlands and Denmark. Deliveries of the ET7 large saloon car will begin in October in Germany, with the EL7 large SUV and ET5 following in March. No prices have been disclosed yet. The EL7 was renamed from the ES7 in China following a lawsuit from Audi, which argued that Nio’s naming strategy for its SUVs using the ES lettering sounded too similar to its S-badged sports range, which are also coupled with numbers for cars such as the Audi S7 and Audi S8. The Nio models for Germany and subsequent European markets are all built on the brand’s new NT2 platform, which combines high-tech software and sensors to give the cars the ability to drive autonomously in certain scenarios, the brand said. No timeframe was given for homologating the cars for low-speed highway hands-free driving in Germany to follow the Mercedes S-Class and Mercedes EQS. The ET7 features a lidar sensor unit prominently above the windscreen, flanked by two cameras. Nio had sold just under a quarter of a million vehicles as of 30 September, the brand said, the majority in China. Sales in Norway stood at around 1000, it said. Li said Nio is in talks with other brands about using the company’s battery swap platform and has even built prototypes for some car makers, although he didn't name them. The company offers a range of battery sizes that fit into the same underfloor space to allow customers to swap in the size they need. An ultra-long-range 155kWh version is expected to be added to the battery swap stations in China in the first quarter next year, the company said. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-nio-et5-electric-saloon-confirmed-uk-2023

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russian officials have begun to "prepare their society" for the possible use of nuclear weapons, but added he does not believe Russia is ready to use them. In an interview with the BBC, President Zelensky denied having urged strikes on Russia, claiming that an earlier remark had been mistranslated. "You must use preventive kicks," he said, referring to sanctions, "not attacks". In recent weeks, the Ukrainian army has recaptured large swathes of territory in a successful counter-offensive that has forced Russian troops to abandon long-held positions. In what Kyiv describes as Moscow's response to its defeats, President Vladimir Putin has incorporated four partially occupied regions of Ukraine. The annexations, widely dismissed as illegal, have raised fears of a possible escalation in the seven-month war. President Putin and other senior Russian officials have suggested that nuclear weapons - possibly smaller, tactical weapons - could be used to defend those areas, although Western officials say there has been no evidence Moscow is prepared to do so. Speaking in English at the president's office in Kyiv, President Zelensky said: "They begin to prepare their society. That's very dangerous. "They are not ready to do it, to use it. But they begin to communicate. They don't know whether they'll use or not use it. I think it's dangerous to even speak about it." Then, in Ukrainian, he said through a translator: "What we see is that Russia's people in power like life and thus I think the risk of using nuclear weapons is not that definite as some experts say, because they understand that there is no turning back after using it, not only the history of their country, but themselves as personalities." However, he denied having called for strikes on Russia during an online event on Thursday, saying the Ukrainian word he had used had been misunderstood. The initial comment was denounced by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as "an appeal to start yet another world war", while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it demonstrated why Russia was right to launch its operation in Ukraine. "After that translation," President Zelensky said, "they [the Russians] did their way, how it's useful for them, and began to retranslate it in other directions." The interview happened hours after US President Joe Biden said that the Russian threat to use nuclear weapons had brought the world closer to "Armageddon" than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis during the Cold War. President Zelensky said action was needed now, as Russia's threats were a "risk for the whole planet". Moscow, he claimed, had "made a step already" by occupying the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, Europe's largest nuclear station which President Putin is trying to turn into Russian property. Around 500 Russian troops were at the plant, he said, although the Ukrainian staff still operate it. "The world can stop urgently the actions of Russian occupiers," President Zelensky said. "The world can implement the sanction package in such cases and do everything to make them leave the nuclear power plant." Empowered by sophisticated Western-supplied weapons, the Ukrainian army has made significant advances in the east and the south, reclaiming towns and villages even in areas the Kremlin claims are now part of Russia. President Zelensky said Russian forces were putting up a "good enough fight", but that Ukraine had received weapons - "I won't say we have enough now" - and soldiers were motivated to push forward. The Russian military's setbacks, a major embarrassment for President Putin, have sparked unusual criticism of the country's military. Amid the losses, President Putin announced the mobilisation of hundreds of thousands of reservists, which led to rare anti-war protests in Russia and to a huge exodus of military-age men. President Zelensky urged Russians to "fight for your body, rights and soul", saying: "Those mobilised kids now, they come with nothing. Without guns or armour. They are being thrown here like cannon fodder... If they want to be kebabs - fine, let them come. But if they are people after all and think that this is their lives, they have to fight. "Everything Putin is afraid of, and it's not the nuclear hit, he is afraid of his community," he said. He's afraid of his people. Because only those people are capable of replacing him nowadays. Take away his power. Give it to someone else." Asked whether President Putin could survive in an eventual Ukrainian win in the war, he said: "I don't care." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63173443

The dollar continued to rise in Colombia this Thursday and during the day it was traded on average at 4,626 pesos, practically the same as the maximum day in history that was July 12 of this year, when it was traded during that day at 4,627 pesos on average . On the morning of this Thursday, trading reached 4,657 pesos, very close to the maximum in all history, which was 4,663 pesos, that same July 12. The average rate this Thursday ended up being 77 pesos more than the representative rate of the current market for the day, which was located at 4,548.89 pesos. (You can also read: Tax: unions warn of the business impact that the reform would have) According to the Set-Fx platform, the currency opened the day with a price of 4,585 pesos and the maximum price reached at 8:48 was 4,657.4 pesos. In the previous day, the foreign currency also registered a strong rise and erased the losses that it had added at the start of the week between Monday and Tuesday. (Of interest: Capital tax raised by Petro defunds the government itself: experts). The rise of the currency this Thursday is recorded a day after President Gustavo Petro said that raising the rates of the Bank of the Republic does not serve to contain inflation. According to the Colombian president, if interest rates are being raised to prevent capital flight, a transitory tax could be imposed on these flows. On the morning of this Thursday, in the midst of the rise in the dollar, Juan David Ballén, director of Analysis and Strategy of the brokerage firm Casa de Bolsa, said that with the dollar's all-time highs on the day, the peso "accumulates and leads the devaluation of the currencies of the region with more than 3 percent. Suggesting to carry out capital controls is a bad idea, it will generate a greater devaluation, inflation, rates and decrease". (Also: The new articles that were included in the tax reform). On Wednesday, Mauricio Cárdenas, former Minister of Finance, had written on his Twitter account, in relation to this issue, that the Issuer's board "does not have the power to adopt taxes, what it does is make capital inflows or outflows more expensive with measures exchange rates, such as compulsory deposits”. But he also pointed out that a measure in this sense “would be suicide. The stampede of capital would generate more devaluation and more inflation”. For his part, Munir Jalil, chief economist for the Andean Region of BTG Pactual, said: "Putting some limitation on the free movement of capital would affect not only the financing of the Government today, but also in the future, since these investors are going to prefer other countries that do not have these restrictions and allow them to enter and leave freely.” (Keep reading: This is how the Petro tax will hit gas prices and reserves). According to Petro's comments, to contain inflation it is better "the tax reform for large fortunes, the fertilizer subsidy, the agrarian reform, food in poor neighborhoods and the change in the energy rate formula." https://www.eltiempo.com/economia/sectores/dolar-en-colombia-hoy-6-de-octubre-707819

Enya and Hulu are the names given to the Californian condor cubs that were recently born at the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico City. "Enya" means 'Sun' in the Kumiai language. "Hulu", meanwhile, translates to 'Moon' in Paipai. These are the names that the two new Californian condor cubs that were born at the Chapultepec Zoo in Mexico City received, by vote of the residents of the capital. Both specimens —male and female, respectively— appear to be healthy, and join the 6 babies that have spawned a pair of adults of the same species. 'Sol' was born in February 2022. In turn, 'Luna' hatched in April of the same year. Through the General Directorate of Zoos and Wildlife Conservation, the Environment Secretariat (SEDEMA) announced the births as an achievement for the persistence of the species. More than anything, because it was critically endangered in the 1980s. Also read: Mexico is the best candidate for the mythical Californian condor to recover from extinction More than 10 Californian condor cubs in Mexico California condor controlled breeding efforts have been successful in the country. Proof of this are the more than 10 offspring of the species that have been born at the Chapultepec Zoo. In this regard, the Mexican authorities acknowledge that the chicks of the California Condor (Gymnogyps californianus) are the product of a joint effort with the United States: «[THE BIRTH OF THE CALIFORNIAN CONDOR PUPS IS] THE RESULT OF THE EX SITU REPRODUCTION PROGRAM (OUTSIDE ITS PLACE OF ORIGIN) OF THIS SPECIES IN ZOOS AND WHICH IS PART OF THE BINATIONAL PROGRAM FOR THE RECOVERY AND CONSERVATION OF THE CALIFORNIA CONDOR, THROUGH A COLLABORATION WORK BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENTS OF MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES,” HIGHLIGHTS SEDEMA. 'Sol' and 'Luna' are children of one of the couples of reproductive age that the Mexican zoo has. This is the only institution in the country that has adults who have managed to produce healthy offspring, reports SEDENA. The cases have been so successful that 4 specimens have been reintroduced to their natural habitat in northern Mexico, in Baja California. With just a few months to live, both Californian condor cubs are in good health. They recently received the relevant vaccinations and were dewormed. These are some of the actions that the institution is carrying out hand in hand with veterinarians, biologists and specialized keepers "in order to guarantee the survival of the valuable specimens". https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/cacen-dos-crias-de-condor-californiano-en-cdmx/
