Germans split as last three nuclear power stations go off grid
BERLIN — On one side of Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on Saturday, there will be partying — anti-atomic activists will celebrate victory in a battle that has lasted 60 years.On the other side of the Gate, there will be protests — as demonstrators march against the closure of Germany’s three remaining nuclear power stations.Isar 2, Emsland and Neckarwestheim 2 are all due to go offline by midnight.Here at the Brandenburg Gate, where the Wall once divided Cold War Berlin, nuclear energy is an ideological fault-line that splits the country.It is an issue that is emotionally charged like few others. And particularly now as war in Europe again looms large. Both sides accuse each other of irrational ideology.Conservative commentators and politicians say the country is in thrall to Green...

Protesters gathered in front of the Paris City Hall ahead of the Constitutional Council's ruling on the pension reforms
Huge win for Macron as French top court clears pension age rise to 64
PARIS — France’s top court on Friday approved the government’s unpopular plans to raise the age of retirement by two years to 64, a huge win for President Emmanuel Macron in the face of mass protests across the country.The Constitutional Council – akin to the US Supreme Court – struck down some elements of the new law, but the most controversial element remains: the gradual upping of the retirement age.Pension reform in France, where the right to retire on a full pension at 62 is deeply cherished, is always a highly sensitive issue and even more so in recent months with social discontent mounting over the surging cost of living.Sweeping protests have paralyzed major services across France year this year over Macron’s proposed changes to the pension system. There have been...

Juice mission launches to explore Jupiter’s icy ocean worlds
PARIS — The European Space Agency has sent a spacecraft to explore Jupiter and three of its largest and most intriguing moons.The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission, or Juice, launched Friday at 8:14 a.m. ET aboard an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.The spacecraft separated from the Ariane 5 rocket 28 minutes after launch, and ESA received a signal from Juice about an hour after liftoff, confirming that Earth-based mission control is able to “talk” to the vehicle.“We have #AcquisitionOfSignal from #ESAJuice! The spacecraft has said its first words from its new home in space, captured by our New Norcia ground station in Western Australia. @ESA_Juice, we hear you loud and clear,” read a post from ESA operations’ Twitter account.Over the course...

European Space Agency postpones Juice mission to Jupiter's icy moons
PARIS — The European Space Agency (Esa) has postponed a planned launch of a satellite to the planet Jupiter.Weather conditions showed there was a risk of lightning to the mission that aims to establish if the planet's moons could sustain life.Esa says it will try to launch the rocket again on Friday.The eight-year journey from Earth to reach Jupiter's major moons is one of the organization's most ambitious missions ever.There's good evidence that these the moons' icy worlds - Callisto, Europa and Ganymede - hold oceans of liquid water at depth.The project is known as the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or Juice for short.Juice is not seeking to detect life - it will not be sending back pictures of alien fish. But it could help determine whether conditions in the...

Ukraine war: Pentagon leaks reveal Russian infighting over death toll
WASHINGTON — Leaked US documents have revealed that disagreements in Russia's security apparatus led to the defence ministry being accused of undercounting casualties of the war in Ukraine.Russia has said very little publicly about the scale of its war deaths.But the files show the FSB security service claimed officials were not counting deaths of the Russian National Guard, Wagner mercenaries and others.Russia has already warned the leaks may be fake, deliberately dumped by the US.However, the detail corroborates what was already widely known: that Russia's military and security groups have had frequent disagreements about the handling of the war in Ukraine and that Russia has avoided publicising the numbers of dead and wounded.The FSB's reported calculation of almost...

Biden basks in Ireland’s welcome as he highlights personal and political ties
DUBLIN — President Joe Biden is spending much of his trip to Ireland this week exploring his family’s roots, from the shoemaker who sailed from Newry in 1849 in search of a better life in America to the brick-seller in Ballina who sold 28,000 bricks to pay for his own family’s passage to the US.Yet as his official meetings Thursday demonstrate, the Ireland he is visiting this week is a distant cry from the place his ancestors left so long ago. It’s even far removed from the place President John F. Kennedy – the last Catholic president – visited 70 years ago, when the Church remained at the center of power in the country and economic development was only beginning to take hold.Now a thriving European economy, with a major technology sector and among the highest per capita GDP...
