☆ One-fifth of Europe’s Red List species face risk of extinction, new analysis finds
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-08 | by ( Manav Tanneeru | Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —Of all 14,669 varieties of plants and animals found in Europe that were registered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Red List of Threatened Species by the end of 2020, one-fifth of them face the risk of extinction, a new analysis has found. The thousands of species found in Europe that appear on the Red List account for nearly 10% of the continent’s total biodiversity, according to the paper. IPBES originally estimated that 1 million plant and animal species across the world were at risk of extinction, including about half a million insect varieties, based on inferences from Red List data. The data on invertebrates provided by the new analysis suggests the number of species threatened with extinction globally is actually closer to 2 million, Hochkirch said. Hochkirch said he hopes the analysis will spur further conservation action for insects and other threatened species in Europe.

By Efrain OteroTOCORON, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuela has completed the first phase of regaining control of its prison system, Interior Minister Remigio Ceballos said on Saturday, speaking at the Aragua jail near Tocoron, just days after security forces seized the prison that was infamously run by prisoners. The jail had restaurants, bars and even outdoor swimming pools, among other luxuries, and it was the operating center for feared criminal gang Tren de Aragua, according to Venezuela's government. The jail housed 1,600 inmates, Ceballos said, adding that most have already been relocated to other prisons across the country. Authorities have also recaptured some 88 members of Tren de Aragua who escaped during the raid by security forces, which took place on Wednesday. Following the raid, the Tren de Aragua has been totally dismantled, Ceballos said, without explaining further.

Brazilian corn exports are expected to flood the global marketplace beginning in July and into the U.S. autumn harvest. China's overall corn imports are down about 10% this year, according to customs data, as buyers there await ample supplies of cheap Brazilian corn in the coming months. Total U.S. corn export sales in April and May were the lowest in at least 22 years, according to weekly USDA export sales data. The period included three weeks in which more purchases were canceled than booked, and the two worst weeks of U.S. corn exports on record. Rapid growth in Brazilian corn production offset loss of much of the corn exports from Ukraine since Russia’s invasion.

CNN —Real Madrid eased past Celta de Vigo 2-0 on Saturday in what was a relatively calm and assured performance for Los Blancos to cut Barcelona’s lead atop La Liga to eight points ahead of Atlético Madrid’s visit to the Camp Nou on Sunday. Vinícius Jr. proved a dangerous threat to Celta throughout the match, including getting his 17th assist of the season across all competitions. Jose Breton/Pics Action/NurPhoto/Getty ImagesThe 1-0 marked Asensio’s 11th goal of the season in all competitions and Vinícius’ 17th assist across all competitions. In the 48th minute, Asensio took a great corner into the area, where an on-rushing Militão powered a header into the bottom left corner for his fifth league goal of the season past a helpless Villar. Militão puts his powerful header into the bottom left corner of the net to make it 2-0.

Jan 15 (Reuters) - Barcelona were crowned Spanish Super Cup champions after goals from Gavi, Robert Lewandowski and Pedri earned them a 3-1 win over bitter rivals Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia on Sunday. Barcelona were dominant in every aspect of the game and took advantage of three mistakes by Real Madrid to score. Lewandowski extended the lead 12 minutes later on the counter when defender Dani Carvajal was caught out of position and left Gavi alone on the left wing. Real Madrid, who had no shots on target in the first half, spent most of the second in panic mode, trying to avoid a bigger defeat. Substitute Dani Ceballos lost the ball in midfield and Gavi sprinted forward and crossed for Pedri to fire point-black into the empty net.

Florentino Perez şi şefii clubului au pus la cale un plan pentru a reuşi să-l atragă pe starul Parisului. Kylian Mbappe e marele vis al lui Florentino Perez pentru un transfer la Real Madrid. Starul francez a fost cerut şi de fani, care i-au scandat numele la prezentarea oficială a lui Hazard, acum doi ani. Lui Mbappe i se termină contractul cu PSG în vara viitoare şi, deocamdată, nu există semne îmbucurătoare în ceea ce priveşte prelungirea înţelegerii.

Mbappe este un fan recunoscut al lui Zidane si ”los blancos” şi a vorbit în multiple interviuri despre dorinţa de a juca la Madrid, într-o zi. Francezii vor să recupereze investiţia enormă de 180 de milioane de euro făcută pentru a îl achiziţiona de la Monaco, în 2017. Aşadar, Real Madrid se pregateşte să se despartă de multiple nume mari pentru a strânge fondurile necesare, printre care Gareth Bale, Luka Modric, Isco, Luka Jovic, Dani Ceballos şi Brahim Diaz. Acestea au scăzut cu 25% în ultimii doi ani, iar Mbappe este dorit pe Bernabeu nu doar pentru calităţile sale tehnice, dar şi datorită veniturilor pe care le-ar genera. Mai mult, Realului îi lipseşte un adevărat ”galactico”, ultimul adus şi singurul în ultimii 5-6 ani fiind Hazard.

La un antrenament ţinut de Arsenal vineri, pentru cei care nu au fost convocaţi la naţională, totul s-a terminat cu o reacţie violentă a lui David Luiz asupra colegului său, Dani Ceballos. Într-o confruntare amicală, în care Ceballos a intrat puţin mai dur la David Luiz, fundaşul brazilian s-a enervat şi l-a lovit în faţă pe spaniol şi i-a spart nasul. Dani a căzut la pământ cu nasul sângerând, dar s-a ridicat imediat în picioare pentru a-l confrunta pe Luiz. Colegii şi oamenii din staff au reuşit să-i despartă pe cei doi înainte ca lucrurile să se agraveze. Cei doi au fost trimişi acasă imediat, dar nu înainte să se împace şi să le ceară colegilor iertare.
