France launches energy savings drive to avoid winter power cuts
PARIS — Homes and offices heated to a maximum of 19°C; no hot water in public buildings; no lit advertising overnight; a ban on doors left open in heated or air-conditioned shops; reduced temperatures in swimming pools and gyms: these are some examples of the action France is taking to save energy.The government has unveiled "15 flagship" measures as part of an energy efficiency plan to get through the winter without blackouts — and also prepare the country for much greater long-term savings to face up to the climate emergency.Agnès Pannier-Runacher, the energy transition minister, called for a "general mobilization" of the whole country to achieve a "10% reduction in energy consumption" in two years' time, compared to 2019.She described it as a...

Putin signs Ukraine annexation laws amid military setbacks
MOSCOW — Russia's President Vladimir Putin has signed the final papers to annex four regions of Ukraine - even as his military suffered further setbacks.The Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions are "accepted into the Russian Federation" the documents say.But in two of those areas - Luhansk and Kherson - Ukraine said it has been retaking more villages.Mr Putin also signed a decree to formalize Russia's seizure of the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia.Last Friday, the Russian leader held a grand ceremony in the Kremlin, where he signed agreements with the Moscow-installed leaders of the four regions.The move followed self-proclaimed referendums in the areas, denounced as a "sham" by the West.But on the ground there appears to be a different...

A simple AI eye test could accurately predict a future fatal heart attack
GENEVA — Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally with an estimated 17.9 million people dying from it each year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).The WHO says that early detection of heart disease — which often leads to heart attacks — could give patients precious time for treatment, which could save many lives.Now researchers have found a simple eye test could be used to diagnose heart disease with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.Previous research had investigated how the retina’s network of veins and arteries could provide early indications of heart disease.That research looked at how the width of these blood vessels could be used to predict heart disease, but it wasn’t clear if the findings applied equally to men and...
