Putin makes nuclear-powered missile test claim
MOSCOW — Russia has held a "final successful test" of a nuclear-powered cruise missile, Vladimir Putin has claimed.The president's comments came after his spokesman rejected a New York Times report that testing of the weapon, known as the Burevestnik, was imminent.The experimental weapon, first announced in 2018, has been hailed as having a potentially unlimited range.But little is officially known of its capabilities and there are reports that previous tests have failed.President Putin's account has not been independently confirmed and there has been no word so far from the Russian defence ministry.However, satellite images circulated last month indicated that Russia had recently built new facilities at a remote Arctic island location where Soviet nuclear tests were...

2023 on track to be the hottest year as September shatters heat records
BRUSSELS — The Northern Hemisphere may be transitioning into fall, but there has been no let up from extreme heat. New data shows last month was the hottest September – the fourth consecutive month of such unprecedented heat – putting 2023 firmly on track to be the hottest year in recorded history.September beat the previous monthly record set in 2020 by a staggering 0.5 degrees Celsius, according to data released Wednesday by the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. There has never been a month so abnormally hot since Copernicus’ records began in 1940.“The unprecedented temperatures for the time of year observed in September – following a record summer – have broken records by an extraordinary amount,” said Samantha Burgess, deputy director of Copernicus,...

The Crisis Regulation includes special rules that would be triggered when an influx of migrants threatens to overwhelm the EU's asylum system
EU countries agree new rules to manage future migration 
BRUSSELS — A preliminary agreement reached on Wednesday paves the way for establishing common rules to manage an unexpected mass arrival of asylum seekers, a crucial element of the European Union's migration reform.The deal on the so-called Crisis Regulation was sealed during a meeting of ambassadors in Brussels, who were tasked with finishing the work that interior ministers were unable to conclude last week when Italy unexpectedly blocked the draft text.Italy contested a small part of the legislation centered on the search-and-rescue services provided by NGO vessels in the Mediterranean Sea, which Rome considers a "pull factor" that attracts more migrants to European shores.Germany, whose vote was necessary to achieve the required qualified majority, defended the NGO...

Venice bus crash: The heroes who pulled survivors from burning wreck
MESTRE — When Boubacar Touré and his flatmates heard a sudden, thundering crash beside their apartment, they thought it was an earthquake. But then they opened the windows of their kitchen, where they were cooking dinner, and one shouted: "A bus has fallen.""We ran down to the spot where the bus was on fire and I heard a woman screaming, 'My baby, my baby,'" 27-year-old Boubacar, who is from The Gambia says, his eyes heavy with exhaustion."I managed to pull her through the window and then pulled out her son, who was badly burnt but still alive."The bus, carrying tourists back to a nearby campsite after a day in the historical centre of Venice, had been driving along a busy overpass when it suddenly careened off the side on Tuesday evening. It...

Global economy a mixed bag, horizon uncertain: UNCTAD
GENEVA — The global economy is at “a critical juncture”, with some economies thriving and expanding, while others falter and slow down, the UN’s trade and development body said on Wednesday.The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) reported that world economic growth is expected to decelerate from three percent last year to 2.4 percent through 2023, with limited signs of a rebound in 2024.These figures underscore the urgent need for reform of the global financial system, more practical policies to combat inflation, inequality, and sovereign debt, as well as enhanced oversight of critical markets.Rebeca Grynspan, UNCTAD secretary-general, emphasized the need to avoid past policy errors.“We need a balanced policy mix of fiscal, monetary and supply-side measures to achieve...

But this year’s laureates succeeded,” said Johan Aqvist, chair of the committee.The scientists were lauded as “pioneers in the exploration of the nanoworld” – in which matter starts to be measured in millionths of a millimeter.
