The “boots” that the specialists at the San Diego Zoo specially designed for Lucas will help him walk and be pain-free from now on. Lucas is a 4-year-old African penguin. Long ago, the keepers and specialists at the San Diego Zoo — which has been his home since his earliest days — diagnosed him with "bumblefoot," a degenerative disease of the legs. Unfortunately, according to the diagnosis of the doctors who supervised his case, the condition is incurable. If it had gone unnoticed, or without rigorous attention, the African penguin would be destined not to be able to walk well. To prevent the bird from losing its independence, zoo specialists "created and outfitted Lucas with custom orthopedic shoes made of neoprene and rubber," according to a statement. a new pair of shoes Researchers at the San Diego Zoo collaborated with Thera-Paw, an organization dedicated to designing and manufacturing rehabilitation and assistance products for animals with special needs. To meet Lucas's needs, they created a pair of 'booties' that prevent the penguin from developing ulcers, due to the pressure he exerts on his feet and ankles when he stands up. As described by the Naturalista platform, African penguins are "medium in size and robust in appearance." They can measure up to 70 centimeters tall, and weigh up to 5 kilos. Just like Lucas, its plumage is black on both the wings and the legs and back. They live near the South Pole. Mainly, they are seen in South Africa and Patagonia. With the intention of guaranteeing a good quality of life for Lucas, the teams from both institutions joined forces. Fortunately, Lucas has responded very well to his new pair of shoes: “WE WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY THE IMMEDIATE CHANGE IN LUCAS AFTER WE PUT HIS NEW BOOTS ON HIM,” SHARED DEBBIE DENTON, SENIOR WILDLIFE CARE SPECIALIST AT THE SAN DIEGO ZOO. “SEEING HIM MOVING NOW GIVES US HOPE THAT HE CAN BE WELL IN THE FUTURE AND LIVE A FULL LIFE.” The improvement has been drastic, say specialists. More than anything, because their 'boots' are padded. This will allow you to integrate back into the community without inconvenience. Even, according to Dr. Beth Bicknese, senior veterinarian at the San Diego Zoo, it will eventually be able to "display behaviors that are more typical of a penguin, such as rock climbing, swimming, nesting, and finding a suitable mate." https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/conoce-a-lucas-el-pinguino-africano-que-camina-con-botas-ortopedicas-en-el-sd-zoo/

Skoda is working on an entry-level electric model that will replace the Skoda Fabia, boss Klaus Zellmer has told Autocar. This new car will also be priced similarly to the Fabia, Zellmer said, which currently retails in the UK at £17,800 in SE Comfort hatch guise. Speaking at the launch of the Vision 7S concept car, which will itself hit showrooms in 2026, the Skoda boss said: “The Fabia with its price position will be succeeded by a battery-electric vehicle and we are working on that.” However, he added: “The biggest challenge at the moment is the cost [of making] battery-electric vehicles, especially when producing a car [of the size of] the Fabia. We will have to stay a little patient.” At the launch of the 7S in Prague, it was confirmed that the seven-seat electric SUV will be joined by an urban EV and crossover when it launches, followed by two other electric cars – one of which is expected to be the Fabia replacement. This would earmark it for a launch in the last quarter of the decade. The successor, it is thought, will look radically different from the Fabia when it launches with Skoda’s new design language – previewed as part of the Vision 7S – hinting more at SUV-style bodywork, rather than the Fabia’s supermini styling. It is expected to be underpinned by the entry-version of the Volkswagen Group’s MEB architecture, currently used by models such as the Volkswagen ID 3, and be one of the last in the group to use it before the introduction of the new SSP platform. This would allow the model to focus on city driving, which Zellmer hinted it would be positioned to do. It could also use a much smaller version of the Vision concept’s 89kWh battery but still take advantage of its rapid 200kW charging rates - a charging speed far quicker than any other mainstream VW Group car. The launch of this model, coupled with the reveal of the Vision 7S concept, means Skoda is expanding its reach to appeal to a wider audience, Zellmer said. “This puts us into a wider spread in terms of customers that we can bring to Skoda,” he said. “We are really trying to increase our footprint. “Cars like that [the Vision 7S] are potentially more profitable, and of course we are in a business to make money, but that is not the main goal. The main goal is to increase our footprint overall, to cover a bigger potential in the market.” https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/skoda-working-sub-£20000-electric-fabia-replacement

The UN has accused China of "serious human rights violations" in a long-awaited report into allegations of abuse in Xinjiang province. China had urged the UN not to release the report - with Beijing calling it a "farce" arranged by Western powers. The report assesses claims of abuse against Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities, which China denies. But investigators said they uncovered "credible evidence" of torture possibly amounting to "crimes against humanity". They accused China of using vague national security laws to clamp down on the rights of minorities and establishing "systems of arbitrary detention". The report, which was commissioned by the UN's Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights, said prisoners had been subjected to "patterns of ill-treatment" which included "incidents of sexual and gender-based violence". Others, they said, faced forced medical treatment and "discriminatory enforcement of family planning and birth control policies". The UN recommended that China immediately takes steps to release "all individuals arbitrarily deprived of their liberty" and suggested that some of Beijing's actions could amount to the "commission of international crimes, including crimes against humanity". While the UN said it could not be sure how many people have been held by the government, human rights groups estimate that more than a million people have been detained at camps in the Xinjiang region, in north-east China. Several countries have previously described China's actions in Xinjiang as a genocide. But Beijing - which saw the report in advance - denies allegations of abuse and argued that the camps are a tool to fight terrorism. The report was released on Ms Bachelet final day on the job after four year as the UN's high commissioner for human rights. Her term has been dominated by the accusations of abuse against the Uyghurs. Ms Bachelet's office indicated that an investigation into allegations of genocide in Xinjiang was under way over a year ago. But publication was delayed several times, leading to accusations by some Western human rights groups that Beijing was urging her to bury damaging findings in the report. And even in the final hours before the report was published, China has been putting pressure on Ms Bachelet not to release it. In a news conference last Thursday, she admitted that she was under "tremendous pressure to publish or not to publish" the report. But she defended the delay, arguing that seeking dialogue with Beijing over the report did not mean she was "turning a blind eye" to the contents of the report. The faces from China’s Uyghur detention camps Who are the Uyghurs? The cost of speaking up against China China's 'tainted' cotton Sophie Richardson, China director at Human Rights Watch, said the report's findings showed "why the Chinese government fought tooth and nail to prevent the publication" of the report. "The United Nations Human Rights Council should use the report to initiate a comprehensive investigation into the Chinese government's crimes against humanity targeting the Uyghurs and others - and hold those responsible to account," she added. "Uyghurs and other victims have placed their trust in you to report on the extent of the abuses they face," he said. "If you don't stand up for victims, who will?" And the UK's ambassador to the human rights council, Rita French, said it is "essential for all of us that no state is free from objective scrutiny on its human rights record, and that no state can be allowed to stifle the high commissioner's independent voice". There are about 12 million Uyghurs, mostly Muslim, living in Xinjiang. The UN said non-Muslim members may have also been affected by the issues in the report. Earlier this year, the BBC obtained leaked files which revealed an an organised system of mass rape, sexual abuse and torture of Uyghur Muslims at a network of camps. The Xinjiang Police Files, as they're being called, were passed to the BBC and revealed a targeting of the community on orders leading all the way up to Chinese leader, Xi Jinping. And in 2020, then UK Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab accused China of "gross and egregious" human rights abuses against its Muslim po[CENSORED]tion after a video emerged appearing to show Uyghurs being blindfolded and led to trains. The footage provoked international outcry, but Liu Xiaoming, then Chinese ambassador to the UK, insisted that there were "no such concentration camps in Xinjiang" while appearing on the BBC's Andrew Marr show. What does China say? China denies all allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. In response to the Xinjiang Police Files, China's foreign ministry spokesman told the BBC that the documents were "the latest example of anti-China voices trying to smear China". He said Xinjiang enjoyed stability and prosperity and residents were living happy, fulfilled lives. China says the crackdown in Xinjiang is necessary to prevent terrorism and root out Islamist extremism and the camps are an effective tool for re-educating inmates in its fight against terrorism. It insists that Uyghur militants are waging a violent campaign for an independent state by plotting bombings, sabotage and civic unrest, but it is accused of exaggerating the threat in order to justify repression of the Uyghurs. China has dismissed claims it is trying to reduce the Uyghur po[CENSORED]tion through mass sterilisations as "baseless", and says allegations of forced labour are "completely fabricated". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-62744522

Before the Russian invasion, only 3 stranded dolphins were recorded in Ukraine per year. In just 6 months, the figure exceeds thousands of fatal cases. Ivan Russev is 63 years old. For much of his life, he has been involved with underwater wildlife in the Black Sea, between Western Asia and Eastern Europe. At present, the ecosystem is under pressure from the pressure of the Russian invasion. In the six months of military hostilities, around 5,000 dolphins have died in the vicinity of Ukraine. Russev and his team have spent months collecting the bodies that wash up on the Ukrainian coast. According to AFP coverage, the death toll is 'terrifying'. The Ukrainian scientist, who serves as the director of the Tuzly Lagoons National Park, has collected bodies of jackals, dolphins and other species of marine mammals near Odessa, in southwestern Ukraine, near the border with Romania. We suggest: What has happened in Ukraine 6 months after the start of military hostilities The war on the biosphere: what consequences has the Russian invasion had for the fauna of the Black Sea? Along 280 square kilometers, the coasts are protected in the Bessarabia region. Since January 2010, this region is a protected natural area by the Ukrainian government. Since Roman times, this body of salty water has been problematic for boaters. In fact, it was known as 'the inhospitable sea', because of how difficult it was to cross them for the largest boats. These complications have been maintained over the millennia. In the 1990s, this region was further politicized by the disintegration of the Soviet Union. By giving entrance to Turkey, Georgia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Russia, the Black Sea has become an area of great economic and military influence. Also read: Russia and Ukraine, the tangled history that unites and divides the two countries at war Documenting is resisting With the outbreak of military hostilities between Russia and Ukraine, the biosphere has also been affected. More than 6 months into the war, Bulgarian and Ukrainian scientists have been in communication to continue documenting animal deaths in the region: “[…] WE STARTED TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR TURKISH, BULGARIAN, ROMANIAN COLLEAGUES, AND THEY ALL REACH THE SAME CONCLUSIONS: THERE IS A HUGE NUMBER OF DOLPHINS KILLED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR”, DENOUNCES RUSSEV, ALONG WITH HIS TEAM OF COLLEAGUES. The researchers assure that the first fatal cases were documented in early March 2022. Before the war in Ukraine, only 3 dolphins stranded in the region. Currently, the figure rises to 5 thousand. Not even the quality of 'nature reserve' has been enough to protect the species of the Black Sea. Many of Ukraine's dolphin carcasses have been collected inside Limans Tuzly Lagoons National Nature Park, near the town of Prymorske. The effects of war on nature would not be known without the record of Ivan Russev and his colleagues. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/5-mil-delfines-muertos-en-ucrania-tras-la-invasion-rusa/

Currently rolling out from under the domed roof of a Race Shuttle trailer is an advanced taste of things to come from Ariel Motor Company Ltd. A fairly compact, unconventional, insectoid-looking supercar with a closed cockpit, dihedral doors, some huge aero fins, and hindquarters that could have been donated by a jet aircraft, it gently drops off the trailer ramp, and then just sits there – so bold as to be almost indecent in places – ready for closer inspection. It’s a long way from an Atom, in more ways than one. This is the jawdropping electrified Ariel Hipercar – and today, we will be among the very first in the world to drive it. It’s early on a foggy Tuesday and we’re on a disused airfield, only about 20 miles from Ariel’s Somerset base. The old runways here look dishevelled to say the least (the last time they had fresh bitumen, the landowner says, was when they needed to be concealed from the airborne gaze of the Luftwaffe). If we were about to get a look at the first electric model from a more typical sports car brand – Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes-AMG, you name it – we’d be in an air-conditioned auditorium instead, in front of a tennis court-sized projection screen, bombarded with lasers and atmospheric music; and you can bet that we wouldn’t be going anywhere near a driver’s seat. Thankfully, Ariel does things a little differently – and today there is nowhere else in the world I’d rather be. Wow, this thing is an eyeful – a bit like some remodelled McLaren SLR with a Napoleon complex. Ariel boss Simon Saunders says they worked through plenty of other more conventional-looking, conventionally aerodynamic low-drag designs but rejected them all because they weren’t daring enough. “Not us,” he says. What they’ve ended up with is a car of a similar skeletal character as an Atom, one whose tyre contact patches and beautifully machined front wishbones are visible through the partly open frontal structure but whose size and proportions are both much less toy-like and more imposing than those of an Atom. This car has looming, predatory presence – just as a 1180bhp hypercar should. The Hipercar we’re looking at is Ariel’s first full-bodied running prototype. It has 3D-printed body panels for ease of manufacture, whereas finished versions will have all-carbon panels for a more upmarket material appeal. But I must admit, as graphic as it may sound, I do want more of the car’s innards on display. I want to see it working, the way you do an Atom – especially around the drive motors and that gas turbine at the rear. I want the whole car to be like looking at a Lego Technic model kit – because that feels like an Ariel thing now. Trouble is, the Hipercar will be a fully type-approved vehicle – crash tested, wind tunnel tested, emissions tested, the works. And where the Atom can get away with its scaffolding-like frame via the individual vehicle approval process, the rules on bodywork gaps in type-approved cars are much, much stricter. There’s a slightly beetlish quality about the Hipercar’s cabin-rear silhouette. The cockpit could almost be sitting behind a compact, front-mid-mounted V8 engine if you didn’t know better. Instead, however, there’s a 295bhp electric motor for each of its individual drive wheels; a 62kWh drive battery under the cabin floor; a tremendously complicated multi-circuit cooling system for the car’s various heat sources; and what looks to all the world like a tiny rocket booster sticking naughtily out of that perky rear end. “That’s the gas turbine range extender,” says Saunders, “and I’m afraid we can’t demonstrate it for you today. Our supplier isn’t quite happy with its refinement yet, so they’ve asked us not to run it. When it’s working, though, it does sound a bit like a jet engine, which justifies all the styling references, we hope!” For now, we’ll just have to take the man’s word for it. It feels odd to be opening a door on an Ariel at all, and stranger still finding comfortable leather seats, three-point belts and, err, a windscreen once you have. This is more of a fully fledged sports car than an Atom might ever be, of course, and Saunders is clear about the added usability and convenience that will be expected of it. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/features/exclusive-first-drive-1180bhp-ariel-hipercar

Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader who brought the Cold War to a peaceful end, has died aged 91. Mr Gorbachev, who took power in 1985, opened up the then-USSR to the world and introduced a set of reforms at home. But he was unable to prevent the slow collapse of the Soviet Union, from which modern Russia emerged. Tributes have been paid worldwide, with UN chief Antonio Guterres saying he "changed the course of history". "Mikhail Gorbachev was a one-of-a kind statesman," UN Secretary General Mr Guterres wrote in a Twitter tribute. "The world has lost a towering global leader, committed multilateralist, and tireless advocate for peace." The hospital where he died said he had been suffering from a long and serious illness. In recent years his health has been in decline and he had been in and out of hospital. In June, international media reported that he had been admitted to hospital after suffering from a kidney ailment, though his cause of death has not been announced. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his deepest condolences following Mr Gorbachev's death, his spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian news agency Interfax, according to Reuters. European Union President Ursula von der Leyen praised him as a "trusted and respected leader" who "opened the way for a free Europe". "This legacy is one we will not forget," she added. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he admired Mr Gorbachev's courage and integrity. "In a time of Putin's aggression in Ukraine, his tireless commitment to opening up Soviet society remains an example to us all," he said. OBITUARY: Soviet leader who helped end Cold War PROFILE: Remembering a warm-hearted man IN PICTURES: The life of Mikhail Gorbachev WATCH: Duetting with Gorbachev Mr Gorbachev became general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party, and de facto leader of the country, at the age of 54. At the time, he was the youngest member of the ruling council known as the Politburo, and was seen as a breath of fresh air after several ageing leaders. His predecessor, Konstantin Chernenko, had died aged 73 after just over a year in office. His policy of glasnost, or openness, allowed people to criticise the government in a way which had been previously unthinkable. But it also unleashed nationalist sentiments in many regions of the country which eventually led to its collapse. Internationally he reached arms control deals with the US and refused to intervene when eastern European nations rose up against their Communist rulers. He is seen in the West as an architect of reform who created the conditions for the end of the Cold War in 1991 - a time of deep tensions between the Soviet Union and Western nations, including the US and Britain. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990 "for the leading role he played in the radical changes in East-West relations". But in the new Russia that emerged after 1991 he has been on the fringes of politics, focusing on educational and humanitarian projects. Mr Gorbachev made one ill-fated attempt to return to political life in 1996, receiving just 0.5% of the vote in presidential elections. His divisive legacy is reflected in the tributes that followed his death. Henry Kissinger, who served as US Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon, told the BBC's Newsnight programme that Mr Gorbachev will be "remembered in history as a man who started historic transformations that were to the benefit of mankind and to the Russian people". James Baker, who negotiated the reunification of Germany with Mr Gorbachev's government, told the New York Times that "history will remember Mikhail Gorbachev as a giant who steered his great nation towards democracy". But many Russians never forgave him for the turmoil that followed the collapse of the USSR. Vladimir Rogov, a Russian-appointed official in occupied Ukraine, said Mr Gorbachev had "deliberately led the (Soviet) Union to its demise" and called him a traitor. He will be buried in Moscow's Novodevichy cemetery, the resting place of many prominent Russians, next to his wife Raisa who died of leukaemia in 1999, Tass news agency said. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62732447
