La basura espacial se ha convertido en una amenaza para futuras misiones al espacio. Millones de objetos de distintos tamaños orbitan alrededor de la Tierra grandes velocidades con el riesgo de colisión con satélites operativos, la propia estación espacial internacional e, incluso, astronautas que puedan encontrarse fuera del complejo. Hay proyectos para mitigar este problema y limpiar el espacio cercano. Hemos hablado con Alberto Águeda, director de vigilancia y gestión de tráfico espacial en la empresa española GMV. María González Dionis nos ha hablado del impacto ambiental de las guerras y, más concretamente, la voladura de la presa de Kakhovka en la guerra de Ucrania, que liberó una “bomba tóxica de relojería”. Hemos informado de la concesión del Premio BBVA Fronteras del Conocimiento en Ciencias Básicas a Avelino Corma, John Hartwig y Helmut Schwarz por sentar las bases de los catalizadores que hacen posible una química más eficiente y sostenible; y del Premio Abel de Matemáticas para el japonés Masaki Kashiwara por sus contribuciones al análisis algebraico y la teoría de la representación, el descubrimiento de las bases cristalinas y el desarrollo de la teoría de los módulos D, una herramienta clave para entender las ecuaciones diferenciales. Álvaro Martínez del Pozo nos ha hablado de las kinesinas, unas curiosas moléculas que se mueven en el interior de las células trasladando proteínas y otros componentes de un lugar a otro. Con Javier Ablanque al mando de nuestra máquina del tiempo hemos viajado a la Rusia de finales del siglo XVII para conocer el impuesto a las barbas y la física del afeitado. Y con José Manuel Torralba hemos analizado el deterioro de las medallas de “bronce” de los Juegos Olímpicos de París, cuya causa puede ser el latón con incrustaciones de hierro de la torre Eiffel con el que se han fabricado.

Cultures détruites, machines endommagées, bétail décimé… L'agriculture ukrainienne est très sévèrement touchée. Un rapport de la Banque mondiale et de l'Ecole d'économie de Kiev chiffre les dommages et les pertes à 80,1 milliards de dollars. Sans parler de la reconstruction du secteur sur le long terme. Alors que la campagne céréalière se termine en Ukraine, le pays tente tant bien que mal de pallier les problèmes dont pâtit son secteur agricole. Or, la situation est de plus en plus préoccupante. Tout cela engendre des baisses de revenus pour les agriculteurs. C'est ce que dit la Banque mondiale et l'École d'économie de Kiev dans un rapport très détaillé.Les cultures détruites, le bétail déciméPlus de deux ans après le début du conflit, les pertes et les dommages subis par le secteur agricole en Ukraine s'élèvent à 80,1 milliards de dollars. Une large partie de ce montant - 69,8 milliards de dollars - est dû aux chutes de revenus causées par les pertes de production, à la baisse des prix des matières agricoles et à la hausse des coûts. Ces pertes ont doublé depuis l'évaluation précédente en 2023. Ajouter à cela des dizaines de milliers d'hectares de cultures qui se situent désormais sur les territoires sous occupation russe. Sans compter les dommages causés aux cheptels qui provoquent déjà une baisse de la production de viande et de lait.Les machines agricoles endommagées ou voléesLa facture s'alourdit encore avec les destructions au sol. Le coût des biens détruits est estimé à 10,3 milliards de dollars. La catégorie la plus importante est celle des machines agricoles. Tracteurs, moissonneuses-batteuses, semoirs détruits, endommagés ou volés. Tout comme les infrastructures de stockage de grains ou les équipements de fermes d'élevage ou de fermes laitières situées dans les zones bombardées qui ont subi le même sort. Les régions agricoles les plus touchées sont Zaporijia dans le sud-est, Kherson dans le sud ou encore Luhansk dans l'est du pays.Un désastre écologiqueAjouter à cela les dégâts dans la pêche et l'aquaculture. Ici, la facture a triplé depuis l'an dernier à cause notamment de l'explosion du barrage de Kakhovka en juin 2023. La destruction de ce grand barrage construit sur le fleuve Dniepr a été un désastre écologique, selon un rapport d'une ONG ukrainienne Truth Hounds. L'immense réservoir d'eau vidé en quelques jours constituait une importante source d'approvisionnement en eau pour les industries et pour l'agriculture. En plus de la perte pour le secteur de la pêche, ce sont aussi les champs qui ont été privés d'irrigation.La reconstruction sur le long termeOr, les besoins pour reconstruire sont immenses. Selon la Banque mondiale et l'École d'économie de Kiev, 56,1 milliards de dollars seront nécessaires sur les dix prochaines années pour rebâtir l'agriculture ukrainienne. Ce montant comprend le remplacement des biens détruits et le soutien pour redresser la production sur le long terme.Le 25 juin, l'Ukraine a officiellement commencé les négociations pour intégrer l'Union européenne. L'avenir de son secteur agricole, qui modifiera les équilibres communautaires, sera au cœur des négociations. En cas d'adhésion, Kiev pourrait recevoir entre 10 et 12 milliards d'euros d'aides de la PAC (Politique agricole commune) chaque année, ce qui en ferait le premier bénéficiaire devant la France.  

A year has passed since the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station was blown up. SBS Russian talked to ecologist Eugene Simonov about the recovery of floodplain systems and the expert assessments on the future of the Kakhovka reservoir. - Прошел год с подрыва Каховской ГЭС. Эколог Евгений Симонов по просьбе SBS Russian объясняет, как за год начала восстанавливаться пойменная система и какие оценки по будущему Каховского водохранилища существуют у экспертов сегодня.

IN MEMORY OF THE DESTRUCTION OF KAKHOVKA DAM Friends and fellow activists, This is vitally important, and unfortunately has not received nearly enough media attention, either at the time the crime was committed by Russia, or subsequently. Ecocide needs to be designated a war crime. We must remember Kakhovka. Please share this around your networks to maximise attention on this issue. My friend and colleague Steven Lacey has kindly involved me in the creation process of this impactful campaign to raise awareness about Kakhovka and Ecocide. On this day in 2023 the Kakhovka Dam was destroyed, laying waste to hundreds of square miles of natural habitat and poisoning waterways. Right now The International Criminal Court does not recognise Ecocide as an international crime and ecological destruction goes unpunished. Help nature get justice.

Moscow and Kyiv have traded allegations that the other side is planning a disastrous attack on the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that they warn could cause a major radiological event. Last week, Ukrainian President Zelensky warned that Russian occupation forces have placed “objects resembling explosives” on some rooftops at the power station, “perhaps to simulate an attack on the plant.” Officials in Moscow, on the other hand, have their own allegations, claiming that Ukraine plans to frame Russian troops for an attack on the plant. Meanwhile, inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency are on the ground but still aren't getting unrestricted access. On July 7, the IAEA reported that they visited the isolation gate separating the cooling pond from what remains of the Kakhovka reservoir after the destruction of the downstream dam a month ago. They found no leakage from the pond, and they've observed no visible indications of mines or explosives anywhere inside the plant, but they still haven't been allowed onto the rooftops of reactor units 3 and 4 and parts of the turbine halls. To make sense of these reports and to respond to the panic that this situation provokes, The Naked Pravda welcomes back nuclear arms expert Pavel Podvig, a senior researcher at the U.N. Institute for Disarmament Research.

C dans l'air du 5 juillet - Centrale de Zaporijia : une attaque imminente ? LES EXPERTS : - Général Jean-Paul PALOMÉROS - Ancien chef d'état-major – Ancien commandant suprême de la transformation de l'OTAN - Anthony BELLANGER - Éditorialiste, spécialiste des questions internationales France Inter - Elena VOLOCHINE - Grand reporter– France 24 - Alain PIROT - Journaliste-réalisateur, spécialiste des questions de défense Que se passe-t-il à la centrale nucléaire de Zaporijia ? Kiev a accusé mardi Moscou de préparer une "provocation" dans la centrale occupée par les troupes russes "dans un avenir proche". Les autorités ukrainiennes avancent que des "objets similaires à des engins explosifs ont été placés sur le toit extérieur des réacteurs 3 et 4". "Leur dénotation ne devrait pas endommager les générateurs, mais donner l'impression de bombardements depuis le côté ukrainien", expliquent-elles. Ces derniers jours, les services secrets ukrainiens ont également affirmé que la Russie avait donné l'ordre, à ses employés locaux, d'évacuer le site avant le 5 juillet. A Moscou, un conseiller du géant russe du nucléaire Rosatom a lui accusé Kiev de préparer une "attaque" de l'installation. "Aujourd'hui, nous avons reçu une information que je suis autorisé à révéler. Le 5 juillet, durant la nuit, en pleine obscurité, l'armée ukrainienne va essayer d'attaquer la centrale nucléaire de Zaporijia", a déclaré Renat Karchaa à la télévision russe. Il assure que Kiev a prévu de faire usage "d'armes de précision à longue portée" et de drones. Cette installation, la plus grande d'Europe, se trouve depuis plus d'un an au cœur de la guerre lancée par la Russie contre l'Ukraine. Tombée aux mains de l'armée russe en mars 2022, elle a été visée par des tirs et a été coupée du réseau électrique à plusieurs reprises. Mais la destruction du barrage de Kakhovka début juin a ravivé les inquiétudes et suscité des interrogations sur la pérennité du bassin servant à refroidir les six réacteurs de la centrale. Elle fait depuis l'objet de toutes les attentions. Sur son fonctionnement, sur son utilisation comme bouclier par les soldats russes, sur le refroidissement. Mais rien qui s'approche de ce que serait la destruction délibérée de réacteurs nucléaires. Alors ces déclarations sont-elles crédibles ? Quelle est la situation à Zaporijia ? Et que se passe-t-il au sein de l'état-major russe ? La purge a-t-elle commencé en Russie ? Alors que la bataille de communication se poursuit entre Kiev et Moscou, et que sur le terrain les combats font rage, le commandement de l'armée russe apparaît affaibli, entre la nouvelle attaque de drones survenue mardi au-dessus de la région de Moscou et les mystérieuses disparitions médiatiques de plusieurs hauts gradés. Ainsi depuis le samedi 24 juin au matin, jour de la tentative de rébellion du groupe Wagner, Sergueï Sourovikine n'est plus réapparu et les spéculations se multiplient sur le sort de cet ancien chef des opérations russes en Ukraine, qui aurait pu être au courant des manœuvres du groupe paramilitaire. Parallèlement les regards se tournent vers la Biélorussie où la milice Wagner de Prigojine a trouvé refuge après sa tentative avortée de mutinerie en Russie. Un positionnement qui pose questions et suscite des craintes à Kiev mais aussi en Pologne et dans les pays baltes. Le président lituanien a fait part fin juin de son désir de voir l'OTAN "renforcer" son flanc est, alertant sur la possibilité de voir des "bouleversements de la même ampleur, voire plus importants" éclater dans l'avenir. Pour tenter de le rassurer, lundi 26 juin, l'Allemagne s'est dite "prête à déployer durablement une brigade robuste en Lituanie" de 4 000 soldats. Un contingent de 800 hommes et femmes étant déjà déployés sur place. L'Allemagne est actuellement à la tête du groupement tactique multinational de l'OTAN et de son millier de combattants, prêts à défendre ce pays également frontalier de l'enclave russe de Kaliningrad.

Progressive activist and academic Cornel West grabbed headlines recently when he announced he would be running for President under the People's Party banner. Now West has had a change of heart and will instead be running for the nomination of the Green Party. And, as if on cue, he is already being roundly excoriated by Democrats as a secret right-winger who will throw the election to Donald Trump. Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger speak with journalist and author Chris Hedges, who helped persuade West to make the switch, about what a Cornel West presidential campaign could accomplish. Plus a segment on the baseless accusations against Russia for destroying the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And phone calls from Alec Baldwin and President Joe Biden!

From the BBC World Service: The Ukrainian government estimates an area the size of almost 2,000 football fields is currently under water because of the Kakhovka dam burst, much of it some of the most fertile agricultural land on the planet. The UN’s aid chief, Martin Griffiths, warns it will have a huge impact on global food security and prices. Plus, the BBC’s Olie D’Albertanson asks why nearly half of the soccer teams in the English premier league are now American-owned. And finally, Sir Paul McCartney reveals a new Beatles song will be released, thanks to AI.

Madeleine Finlay speaks to Doug Weir from the Conflict and Environment Observatory about why the collapse of the Kakhovka dam is likely to be so damaging for biodiversity, access to clean water and levels of pollution. He explains why the environment has become such a central part of the narrative and considers what this increased focus could mean for Ukraine's eventual recovery.

As water from the decimated Kakhovka Dam floods the areas surrounding the Dnipro river, both Russia and Ukraine blame each other for the destruction. For months now, we've been hearing news about Ukraine's pending counteroffensive to push back against Russia's invasion. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been trying to fortify the response by asking for weapons training and financing from NATO members in preparation. Now, Zelenskyy has announced the counteroffensive has begun. The dam has broken, but will this get either side closer to the end of the war?

Facebook has removed an advert for a sanitary towel product because it referenced the words Vagina, Vulva and Clitoris. It's the latest in a long line of period ads that have caused a stir. So what is and isn't appropriate when it comes to period adverts? Chella Quint, the founder of Period Positive, a menstruation education advisor and author and Alice Enders, Director of Research at Enders Analysis discuss. The rescue efforts are continuing in Ukraine after Tuesday's breach of the Kakhovka dam. Thirty communities along the Dnipro river have been flooded according to officials. Now the Red Cross has raised concerns that land-mines have been dislodged in the flooding. Kate Zhuzha is from Nova Kakhovka where the dam has collapsed and is the Founder of NGO Union of Help to Kherson in touch with people in the flooded areas. She tells us about the latest reports. Last month we looked at the experience of caring with authors Emily Kenway and Lynne Tillman. So many of you got in touch including academic Dinah Roe, a Reader in nineteenth-century literature, who with poet Sarah Hesketh, managing editor of Modern Poetry In Translation have been running a series of free online workshops, inspired by Christina Rossetti's writing, designed specifically for people with caring responsibilities. Dinah and Sarah discuss the power of writing poetry. Four-time Grammy award nominated singer Candi Staton has moved between several musical genres during of the course of her celebrated career – from soul, R&B, gospel and disco. She discusses her iconic tracks such as the multi-platinum “You Got the Love” and the singalong anthem “Young Hearts Run Free”. It has recently been remixed by UK producer Benji La Vida and has had more than 2.4 million streams on Spotify alone, and there are 60,000 TikTok reels of people doing a dance challenge to the song No single person can take credit for the huge boom in women's football but if anyone can it's the woman who placed second on the Woman's Hour Power List, Baroness Sue Campbell.

Scientists say there's evidence of a significant explosion in the area of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine at the same time that it was breached. Ukraine has released a recording which it says is of Russian military figures discussing how the dam was sabotaged - but this can't be verified yet. Also: Federal prosecutors in the United States have charged Donald Trump over his handling of classified documents after he left the White House, and new research suggests that there are far more people in India with diabetes than previously thought.

The collapse of the Kakhovka dam is an environmental catastrophe for people in southern Ukraine. Destroying a dam goes against international law. And, the Migrant Trail walk continues for a 20th year, putting a spotlight on migrant deaths in the Arizona borderlands. The 7-day, 75-mile walk begins in Sasabe, Sonora, and ends in Tucson, Arizona. Also, the fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has spread across the country. A new ceasefire agreement is set to start on June 10. Plus, singing South African firefighters are helping to battle the blazes in Canada.

Tales of resilience and rescue on the banks of the Dnipro river. We speak to Ivan, a student from Kyiv who has driven to Kherson to help deliver aid to those affected, and Ukraine correspondent James Waterhouse tells us about the people he's met who've been cut off by the floods amidst the shelling.

Ukrainian officials said that 29 villages had been flooded after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in a Russian-controlled area of south-east Ukraine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the early hours of Tuesday, June 6th a major Dam on the Dnipro river in Russian occupied Ukraine suffered catastrophic damage. Floodwaters are now rushing downstream and sending tens of thousands of people fleeing. The path of these destructive floodwaters roughly follows the frontlines between Russian and Ukrainian forces in Southern Ukraine and this breach comes just as Ukraine's much anticipated counteroffensive gets underway. This obviously raises the question: did Russia sabotage the Kakhovka dam to thwart a Ukrainian counteroffensive?  I'm joined today by the former US Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst.  He is a retired career foreign service office and now the senior director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center. We kick off discussing the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, including the likelihood that it was deliberately destroyed by Russia. We then have an extended conversation about what the destruction of this dam means for Ukraine's counteroffensive.

The rescue efforts are continuing in Ukraine after Tuesday's breach of the Kakhovka dam. 30 communities along the Dnipro river have been flooded according to officials. Now the Red Cross has raised concerns that land-mines have been dislodged in the flooding. Kate Zhuzha is from Nova Kakhovka where the dam has collapsed and is the Founder of NGO Union of Help to Kherson in touch with people in the flooded areas. She talks to Krupa about the latest reports. Lindsey Burrow has been caring for her husband, the former rugby league star Rob Burrow, since he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2019. Last month, she took part in her first marathon, The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, and raised over £100,000 towards a new specialist Motor Neurone Disease Centre to be built in her husband's name. She talks to Krupa about fitting in her training with family and work life and exploring the wider impact of MND in a documentary she filmed for ITV, Lindsey and Rob: Living with MND. Louise Redknapp is celebrating 30 years in music. She had 18 top 20 hits with the R&B band Eternal and during her solo career she sold more than 15 million records overall. Louise has just released a Greatest Hits album with 30 tracks, and a new single High Hopes. Having reached the final of Strictly Come Dancing and performed in Cabaret and the musical 9 to 5, she has now returned to the West End stage in Grease as The Teen Angel, the first time the role has been played by a woman in the UK. She joins Krupa Padhy to discuss her career. Bregje Hofstede, a writer, could not sleep for a decade. Driven to desperation, she started with the obvious interventions, then tried every trick and remedy she came across until at last she managed to re-frame her problem and found a solution that worked for her. She joins Krupa to discuss her book, In Search of Sleep, where she documents her experiences and tries to understand the science, psychology and culture of sleeplessness.

The Ukraine war. Yesterday, as Ukraine's counteroffensive appeared to be underway, news broke that  a major dam and hydroelectric power plant in southern Ukraine were severely damaged. The attack on the dam caused flooding near the front lines, with communities downstream of the dam — many currently under Russian control — having to evacuate while Russia continued shelling the region overhead. The Kakhovka dam sits near the southern end of the Dnipro River, which currently separates Ukrainian and Russian forces on the front lines.

Ukraine and Russia are pointing fingers at each other after a key dam in southern Ukraine was destroyed Monday night. Tens of thousands have evacuated, and it's unknown how the loss of the reservoir will affect the massive Zaporizhzia nuclear plant. 5) Explosions breach Kakhovka dam and hydroelectric plant in Ukraine; 4) New York Times admits many Ukrainian soldiers display Nazi symbols—and that Western media has concealed this from public; 3) Texas becomes largest US state to ban sex-change surgeries and hormonal interventions for minors with gender dysphoria; 2) Pods of killer whales attacking and sinking boats off the coast of Spain; 1) Store owner says San Francisco is worse than his home country, Afghanistan.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian and Diaspora reporter Canaan Lidor join host Amanda Borschel-Dan in today's episode. Last night, an Israeli driver was lightly hurt in yet another shooting attack near the northern West Bank town of Huwara.

UN humanitarians are ramping up assistance in the aftermath of the Kakhovka dam disaster in Ukraine, as some 17,000 people find themselves in the critical zone at risk of flooding, and clean water has become scarce.  Health and security concerns are mounting fast, with flooding and the lack of clean water multiplying the risk of disease, while unexploded ordnance is being displaced by floodwater into new areas.IOM's spokesperson in Kyiv, Olivia Headon, has been talking to UN News's Dominika Tomaszewska-Mortimer about the emergency response and the impact of the disaster on Ukraine's future recovery.

Thousands of people are being evacuated from southern Ukraine, where the destruction of the Russian-controlled Nova Kakhovka dam has caused extensive flooding. Water has reached 80 towns and villages on both sides of the Dnipro river. A pro-Putin member of the Russian parliament, Evgeny Popov, tells Newshour that Ukraine was behind it. Also today: the Taliban goes into battle against opium production; and the Brazilian singer Astrud Gilberto, who brought Bossa Nova to the world with her version of The Girl From Ipanema, has died at the age of 83.

A huge dam in southern Ukraine, near the border with Russia, has been destroyed, flooding homes and sending water rushing downstream. Ukraine accuses Russia of blowing up the Kak-hov-ka reservoir, while Russian officials blame Ukrainian military strikes in the contested region. The destruction could have widespread implications: flooding homes, streets and businesses; depleting water levels upstream that help cool Europe's largest nuclear plant; and draining supplies of drinking water to residents in Crimea. Local authorities warned dozens of villages to evacuate as waters rose in the area around the dam. Residents in embankment villages were encouraged to move to safe areas, turn off electrical appliances and take important documents. They were also advised to follow instructions from rescuers and police. Rick Wiles, Doc Burkhart.
