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

From Eurasia to present-day North America, these were the 3 prehistoric felines that dominated the planet with their hunting skills. Prehistory is the longest period in the existence of the Earth. As such, it overflowed for millennia into predatory species that no longer roam our planet today. Among the most lethal and assertive to hunt, prehistoric felines were found. Here we describe the most impressive of them, for their dimensions, lethality and survivability. How were the felines in Prehistory? The Ice Age was characterized by the presence of the so-called megafauna. That is, a large number of wild animals such as mammoths and big cats, among others. These animals have always impressed humans, not only because of their rarity (since they are now extinct), but also because they have unique characteristics that make them representative of the history of nature on our planet. The following are the 3 prehistoric cats that dominated Eurasia to present-day North America: Smilodon is an extinct genus of felids, which are commonly known as "saber-toothed cats". It formerly inhabited what are now the grasslands of the western United States until about 10,000 years ago. Three different species are known from this genus: Smilodon fatalis, Smilodon po[CENSORED]tor and Smilodon gracilis. The Smilodon fatalizes the best known and studied species, due to the fact that more than 3,000 fossilized skeletons of this animal are preserved at Rancho La Brea in California. This cat weighed between 300 and 500 kilograms, and fed on large mammals such as bison, young mammoths and sloths. This diet earned him one of his most distinctive characteristics: his sharp fangs up to 20 cm in length. The Smilodon coexisted with human groups. Their extinction is attributed mainly to hunting and because they did not adapt to a change in diet after the disappearance of large herbivores, such as mammoths. Panthera blytheae, the oldest of the prehistoric cats The Panthera blytheae is an extinct species. It lived almost 6 million years ago, making it the oldest known species of the genus. Little is known about this species and its habits, as only one fossil skull of this species has been found so far in the Tibet region. Until 2010, the year researchers made the discovery, the oldest remains of big cats were almost 4 million years old. According to existing records, this prehistoric feline bears similarities to the snow leopard. The cave lion or Panthera spelaea is an extinct species that lived throughout the region from what is now Europe to Asia, as well as in North America. In 2015, two fossilized cave lion cubs were found in the Siberian steppe. This allowed dating its antiquity between 25 thousand and 50 thousand years. Like other big cats, the cave lion fed on herbivores such as mammoths, bison, reindeer or deer. Its disappearance coincides with that of the end of the Quaternary period, when most of the megafauna species of the ice age disappeared. It is also attributed to the coexistence with humans who hunted these cats. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/asi-fueron-los-felinos-prehistoricos-que-dominaron-la-era-de-hielo/

EV start-up Munro Vehicles is gearing up to reinvigorate the Scottish car industry with its all-terrain 4x4, which it will supply to US industrial operations – including gold mines in Nevada – from 2023. The 371bhp 4x4 is one of a select few commercial EVs currently on the market and includes useful features such as permanent four-wheel drive with locking differentials. Payload and towing capacities are competitive with the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial and Land Rover Defender Hard Top. This means the EV could offer buyers a zero-emission alternative to the usual diesel suspects – so long as buyers can live with the 168-mile range and a price of around £75,000. Munro follows East Lothian-based Raptor Sports Cars in reviving the Scottish car industry, which has not produced a car in significant numbers since the demise of the Linwood Peugeot-Talbot plant in February 1981. The new vehicle is currently available for UK pre-orders but will be offered in the US from 2023 as part of a tie-up with EV sales, leasing and distribution specialist Wyre. The firm will target various industries including Canadian forestry businesses, Floridian farms, Texan oil fields and gold mines in Nevada. Left-hand-drive cars will account for half of the Scottish firm’s 50-strong production run for 2023. It’s aiming to make 500 examples in 2024, 2500 in 2025 and 5000 annually by 2030. The firm also has plans to produce knock-down vehicle kits (to be assembled in the US) should demand exceed the capacity of its Glasgow factory. Such a scheme could allow it to qualify for the US’s new $7500 (£6372) EV tax subsidy, which applies to domestically built vehicles only. Munro CEO Russ Peterson said: “North America is a key growth market for Munro and we’re pleased to be able to partner with Wyre to realise our ambitions ahead of our original timeline. “We’re dedicating half of our 2023 production to left-hand-drive vehicles developed specifically for the US market, which Wyre will deliver to customers throughout the year.” Peterson added: “This is just the beginning.” Wyre UK managing director Rebecca Hansen said “the US is a massive market for this type of serious off-roader” and the firm is lobbying for the US to introduce a salary-sacrifice scheme for EVs similar to that offered in the UK. “The price point of the Munro vehicle at around £75,000 [$88,500 in the US] is compelling,” said Hansen. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/scottish-ev-start-targets-defender-£75000-4x4

Ukraine's military claims to have broken through Russia's first line of defence in the occupied Kherson region. The reported push appears to form part of a long-awaited counter-offensive being launched by Kyiv in an attempt to retake the country's south. It follows weeks of Ukrainian attacks aimed at cutting off Russian forces there from main supply routes. Russia's military claims that Ukrainian troops suffered "heavy losses" during an unsuccessful attacking attempt. The claims by both Ukraine and Russia have not been independently verified. Russia has occupied large swathes of Ukraine's Kherson region since its invasion began on 24 February. Early on Monday, Ukraine's Kakhovka operational group in the south said that one regiment of Russian-backed forces had left its positions in the Kherson region. It added that Russian paratroopers providing the back-up had fled the battlefield. Oleksiy Arestovych, adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky's head of office, later also said that Ukraine's armed forces "have broken through the frontline in several places". Meanwhile, eyewitnesses reported hearing more blasts in the cities of Kherson and Nova Kakhovka, about 55km (34 miles) north-east from the regional capital. The key crossings across the Dnipro River in the two locations have been repeatedly targeted by Ukraine's military in recent weeks. Russia's state-run Ria Novosti news agency reported that Nova Kakhovka was left without electricity and water supply overnight. In his late night video address, President Zelensky issued a stark warning to Russian forces: "If they want to survive, it is time for Russian soldiers to flee. Go home." Mr Zelensky and other top Ukrainian officials have been tight-lipped about details of the reported counter-offensive, urging Ukrainians to be patient. Responding to the Ukrainian claims, Russia's defence ministry said that Ukrainian troops had attempted an offensive in the Kherson and neighbouring Mykolaiv regions. The ministry is quoted by Russia's state-run news agencies as saying this operation had failed, and that the Ukrainian troops had "suffered heavy losses". What weapons are being supplied to Ukraine? How risky is stand-off over Ukraine's nuclear plant? Kyiv officials claim to have used US-supplied Himars rocket systems to destroy three bridges crossing the Dnipro River. According to Western military sources, Kyiv's strikes are part of a targeted effort to cut off Russian troops on the right (western) bank of the river with the ultimate goal of recapturing the entire Kherson region. Moscow has relied on these bridges to resupply their troops. A deadlock that could break Analysis by the BBC's Hugo Bachega in Kyiv Ukraine has long been expected to launch a major offensive to retake Kherson. We could be seeing the beginning of it, although any operation is unlikely to be easy. Kherson has been under occupation since the early days of the war, and it's one of the largest Ukrainian cities in Russian hands. For weeks, Ukrainian forces have repeatedly targeted Russian positions deep inside captured territory, away from the front lines. It's only been possible because of the sophisticated weapons supplied by the West - and it's having a destabilising effect on the invading forces. The conflict seems to be at a deadlock, with neither side making significant gains. This could be about to change. Russia captured the city of Kherson and its surrounding region with relatively little resistance in the early days of the invasion. The city, which had a po[CENSORED]tion of 290,000 before the war, is the only regional capital to have been taken by Russian forces and is currently administered by Moscow-backed officials. According to Russia's Tass news agency, officials in the Kherson region have started moving forward with plans to hold a referendum on formally joining Russia, prompting accusations by the US that Russia could be preparing to illegally annex parts of occupied southern Ukraine. Last month, Russia said its military focus was no longer only on eastern Ukraine but on its southern regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia too. In a separate development on Monday, Russian-installed officials in the Zaporizhzhia region claimed that a Ukrainian missile strike punched a hole in the roof of a fuel depot at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The claim has not been independently verified. In recent weeks, both Ukraine and Russia have accused each other of shelling Europe's biggest nuclear station, which was seized by Russia in early March. Moscow has kept Ukrainian personnel to operate the station. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the world narrowly avoided a radiation accident at the plant, blaming Moscow's actions for this. An inspection team from the UN nuclear watchdog is expected to arrive at the plant later this week, the organisation's head says. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62712299
