Denmark calls snap general election after government support dwindles
COPENHAGEN — Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Wednesday called a general election for Tuesday, Nov. 1, seven months ahead of the end of her term in office.Frederiksen, who has headed the Social Democratic minority government since June 2019, has seen her popularity dwindle in recent weeks due to her role in a pandemic-era decision to wipe out Denmark’s entire captive mink population.In June, a Danish Parliament-appointed commission harshly criticized Frederiksen's government for its decision to cull millions of healthy mink at the height of the coronavirus pandemic to protect humans from a mutation of the virus.Polls show that the center-left bloc is neck-and-neck with the center-right opposition, which includes parties that want to reduce immigration. The election will...

KYIV — Ukrainian forces have liberated a key village in the southern region of Kherson, hastening another Russian military retreat.The defense ministry in Kyiv posted a video showing the 35th marine brigade hoisting a Ukrainian flag above Davydiv Brid, amid reports of several other nearby villages being recaptured.Russian forces have already been forced to retreat in Ukraine's north-east.They are now being pushed back in the south as well.Their latest setbacks came as President Vladimir Putin was due to sign into force decrees annexing four Ukrainian regions, while war was raging in all four.The annexation has no legitimacy under international law and Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has declared them null and void.President Joe Biden spoke with Mr Zelensky on Tuesday and...

Danish queen 'sorry' after stripping grandchildren's titles
COPENHAGEN — The Queen of Denmark has apologized after stripping four of her grandchildren of their royal titles — but has not reversed the decision.Queen Margrethe II said she wanted the monarchy in "keeping with the times", that her decision had been a long time coming, and that it would "future-proof" the institution.But she "underestimated" her family's reaction "and for that I am sorry".The initial decision was announced last week, to begin next year."The titles of prince and princess that they have held up until now will be discontinued," the initial statement said.

Smart helmet for firefighters uses sensors and AI to rescue victims faster
EDINBURGH — Researchers in Scotland have developed a helmet that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help firefighters find and rescue victims faster.The team, from the newly opened National Robotarium in Edinburgh, designed the device using sensors, thermal cameras and radar technology.The equipment aims to help firefighters navigate in a smoke-filled environment, map their surroundings and ultimately rescue victims more quickly.“Firefighters are heroes. Everyone knows that. But what we are doing is (...) we also want them to have this superhero ability: see through smoke, see through darkness and have this ability to find effective solutions for search and rescue,” said Chris Xiaoxuan Lu, lecturer in Cyber-Physical Systems at the School of Informatics of the University of...

Kiev 'makes biggest advance in the south since war began'
KIEV — Kiev made a major military breakthrough in south Ukraine on Monday, Reuters reports. Ukrainian troops recaptured villages along the banks of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine, creating a large front that is forcing Moscow to abandon ground it annexed only days ago.The advance into the Kherson region was the biggest Kiev has made since the war began in February, according to Reuters.It comes off the back of similar breakthroughs in the east that have turned the tide of the war in recent weeks, prompting Russia to mobilize hundreds of thousands of reserve troops.Monday's advance was confirmed by an official of the Russian-backed administration in Kherson province, which Russia seized early on in the war.Vladimir Saldo said that a number of settlements along the river had been...

Europeans 'must lower thermostats to prepare for Russia turning off gas supplies'
OSLO — Heating turned down and boilers adjusted — these are the measures Europeans need to take to prepare for Russian gas supplies being completely cut, according to a report.The EU faces "unprecedented risks" of gas shortages this winter after Russia axed most pipeline shipments amid its war in Ukraine, the International Energy Agency said.The Paris-based group said homeowners need to turn down thermostats in emergency energy-saving measures to help reduce Europe's gas usage by 13% in preparation for a total gas cut-off."The complete shutdown of Russian pipeline gas supplies to the European Union cannot be excluded ahead of the 2022/23 heating season — when the European gas market is at its most vulnerable," the IEA wrote in its quarterly gas report on...

Swedish geneticist wins Nobel Prize for medicine after sequencing first Neanderthal genome
LONDON — Svante Pääbo has won the Nobel Prize for medicine for “his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution,” it has been announced.The Nobel Committee said Pääbo, a Swedish geneticist, “accomplished something seemingly impossible” when he sequenced the first neanderthal genome and discovered that Homo sapiens interbred with Neanderthals.The evidence for his discovery first emerged in 2010, after Pääbo pioneered methods to extract, sequence and analyze ancient DNA from Neanderthal bones. Thanks to his work, scientists can compare Neanderthal genomes with the genetic records of living humans today.“Pääbo’s seminal research gave rise to an entirely new scientific discipline; paleogenomics,” the committee said. “By revealing genetic...
