Researchers found genetic traces of the plants and animals that once lived in the north of Greenland
Oldest DNA reveals two-million-year-old lost world
LONDON — The most ancient DNA ever sequenced reveals what the Arctic looked like two million years ago when it was warmer.Today the area in North Greenland is a polar desert, but the genetic material, extracted from soil, has uncovered a rich array of plants and animals.The scientists found genetic traces of elephant-like mastodons, reindeer and geese that roamed among birch and poplar trees, and of marine life including horseshoe crabs and algae.The research is published in Nature.Prof Eske Willerslev, who carried out the study, from the University of Copenhagen and the University of Cambridge said that this mixture of Arctic and temperate species living side by side has no modern equivalent.The research was conducted in an area called the Kap København Formation, which is in the...

Hungary scraps cap on fuel prices after shortages spark long queues at petrol stations
BUDAPEST — Hungary has abolished a cap on fuel prices after a recent wave of panic-buying and long queues at petrol stations.The state-imposed cap of 480 forints (€1.17) per liter was canceled with immediate effect on Tuesday, government minister Gergely Gulyas announced.Prices will now be set according to the market rates of 640 forints (€1.56) per liter of petrol and 699 forints (€1.70) per liter of diesel, he told a news conference.Hungary's government imposed the fuel price cap in November 2021 to curb price rises, but state energy company MOL has since struggled to keep up with demand, resulting in some shortages.Fuel consumption in Hungary has risen around 25% since last year, on top of maintenance issues at one of MOL's oil refineries. Foreign companies also cut fuel...

EU and Western Balkans build stronger ties as Russia’s war looms large
TIRANA — European and Western Balkan leaders sought to close ranks in the face of Russia’s war in Ukraine as they met in Tirana on Tuesday, hailing closer cooperation on energy, security and migration.The summit was hailed by most leaders as “historic” because it was the first time that leaders from both sides met in a Western Balkan country.For host Edi Rama, prime minister of Albania, the main takeaway from the gathering was that “for the first time, the Balkans are being seen and treated like a geopolitical, strategic reason for the European Union.”The proof, he told reporters during a joint press conference with the heads of the European Council and European Commission, is that Western Balkan countries are now getting access to EU programs that were previously only...
