Three years later, following an intense campaign, Mar Menor became the first ecosystem in Europe to be designated legal personhood rights. Today, Vicente was awarded the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize – an annual award given to six grassroots environmental leaders, each working in a different continent. Teresa Vicente, 61, has been awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize for her successful campaign to grant Mar Menor legal personhood rights. “Right now, Mar Menor is in intensive care,” she says.

A Spanish man accused of teaching North Korea to use crypto rejected the accusations. Alejandro Cao de Benós said his passport was confiscated 7 years ago, preventing foreign trips. AdvertisementA Spanish man pushed back against accusations that he was teaching North Koreans how to evade US sanctions using cryptocurrencies. In a strongly worded statement , Alejandro Cao de Benós said his passport was confiscated seven and a half years ago by Spanish authorities, making any foreign trips, and therefore his presence in North Korea, impossible. During the conference, Griffiths and co-conspirator Christopher Emms provided advice and instructions on how North Korea "could use blockchain and cryptocurrencies to evade US sanctions," the indictment read.

Rolex’s Perpetual Planet initiative has partnered with CNN to drive awareness and education around key sustainability issues and to inspire positive action. That’s exactly what was captured by the overall winner of the 2023 European Wildlife Photographer of the Year award. The photo taken by biologist Javier Aznar González De Rueda shows with incredible detail a female stink bug shielding her eggs and newly hatched larvae. Two octopuses tangle their tentacles around one another, unusual behavior, according to photographer Francisco Javier Murcia Requena. “They stimulate interest in species, habitats and the interconnectedness of nature as well as increasing awareness for nature conservation.”

The container ship Maersk Murcia sits moored in the port of Gothenburg, Sweden, on August 24, 2020. Shipping giant Maersk , a bellwether for global trade, on Friday announced plans to reduce its workforce by more than 10,000 people and said it expected profit to be at the low end of prior guidance. Shares of the Danish firm had fallen 18% by early afternoon to their lowest level since October 2020. Maersk maintained full-year EDITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) guidance of $9.5 billion to $11 billion, but said it expected it to come in at the lower end of this range. Third-quarter revenue dropped from $22.8 billion in 2022 to $12.1 billion.

Officials issued a closure order for the nightclub in the city of Murcia in January 2022, a top official in charge of licenses, told reporters on Monday. Antonio Navarro said the city reissued the decree in October 2022, after the owner’s unsuccessful appeal of the closure. Firefighters can be seen working at the site of a deadly blaze in the Teatre nightclub in Murcia, in southeastern Spain, on October 1. Bomberos/Ayuntamiento de Murcia/APThe nightclub Teatre opened with a license in 2008. But by 2022, city officials determined the alterations to create the two separate nightclubs required additional scrutiny and a new, separate license for La Fonda.

Decision-making is key because the EU now requires unanimity on foreign and security policy, taxes, EU finances, some areas of justice and home affairs and social security and protection. EU agriculture policy would need to be revamped because the admission of agriculture powerhouse Ukraine would dramatically change current EU direct payments to farmers. A similarly major change would happen to the EU's regional policy, under which poorer EU members receive money to raise their standard of living. The agriculture and regional funds make up two thirds of the EU budget, which totals roughly 1% of the bloc's gross national income a year. The paper, which polarised EU governments when first discussed on Sept. 19, said some countries in the EU should be allowed to form closer cooperation than others, forming four tiers of European integration.

The route up Las Palmas starts near the valley floor, but it doesn’t stay there for long. Some riders stop at the lookout point halfway up for the views of the city and don’t continue. “Not everyone dares come up here,” Anderson Murcia, 37, said in Spanish as he stopped briefly to drink water and snap photographs on a recent morning. The top of Las Palmas, though, is more than a vantage point, a rest stop high above Medellín and its 2.5 million residents. In some ways, the popular route is also a perfect place to take the measure of a sport that has made Colombia the cycling epicenter of Latin America.

Jose A Moya/Regional Government of Murcia/Handout via REUTERSMADRID, June 30 (Reuters) - A group of Spanish archaeologists have made detailed diagrams of a 2,500-year-old Phoenician shipwreck to help work out how best to recover it from the sea before a storm destroys it forever. Later this year, the experts will recommend how to protect and retrieve the wreck, possibly as early as next summer. It now lies under about 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) of crystal-clear Mediterranean water, surrounded by sandbags and a metal structure built for protection.

CNN —Eating cassava flour helped save the lives of four children found alive in the Amazon jungle more than a month after their plane crashed, according to a Colombian military special forces official. The children ate “three kilograms (six pounds) of farina,” a coarse cassava flour commonly used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon region, said spokesperson Pedro Arnulfo Sánchez Suárez. The children’s mother Magdalena Mucutuy Valencia was killed in the plane crash on May 1, leaving them alone and stranded in the Amazon jungle. The children’s disappearance sparked a massive military-led search operation that saw more than one hundred Colombian special forces troops and over 70 indigenous scouts combing the deep forest. They told officials that they had found a dog – a Belgian Shepherd search dog named Wilson that belonged to special forces.

CNN —Four young children have been found alive after more than a month wandering the Amazon where they survived like “children of the jungle,” according to Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro. Petro said the children were all together when they were found, adding they had demonstrated an example of “total survival that will be remembered in history.”“They are children of the jungle and now they are children of Colombia,” he added. The children, who appear gaunt in the photos, are being evaluated by doctors and will be taken to the town of San Jose del Guaviare. When we found the children we felt joy, we don’t know what to do, but we are grateful to God,” he said. During a press conference Friday evening, Petro said he hoped to speak with the children on Saturday.

CNN —One month after four children vanished into the Colombian Amazon, a preliminary report by the country’s Civil Aviation Authority offers clues to how they could have survived the devastating airplane crash that killed every adult onboard. “…Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, 2803, Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, I have the engine at minimum, I’m going to look for a field,” he said. Air traffic control later tracked the plane veering right, the report said. The report says the plane likely first hit the trees of the dense forest, tearing the engine and propeller off, followed by a vertical drop to the forest floor. Two of three seats occupied by the children remained in place and upright despite the crash, according to the report, while one child’s seat came loose from the plane structure.

(foto) Ore pe plajă – soluția unei școli din Spania pentru cursuri sigure în pandemieElevii de la școala Felix Rodriguez de la Fuente din Cartagena, regiunea Murcia, Spania, s-au mutat pe Playa de Los Nietos pentru ore. Băncile sunt distanțate, iar elevii și profesorii poartă măști de protecție când ies la tabla portabilă. „Este sigur și copiii învață, dar se și distrează”, a afirmat Juan Francisco Martinez, un profesor de engleză, potrivit sursei citate. Până acum, de la implementarea orelor la plajă, n-a fost raportat niciun caz de infectare cu coronavirus în rândul elevilor. „Prefer plaja, fiindcă mă simt mai relaxat și comod”, a spus un elev de 9 ani. „Orele pe plajă sunt foarte bune, fiindcă sunt cu prietenii mei, sunt la plajă, iubesc plaja, vara mereu vin aici pentru a înota în fiecare zi și iubesc nisipul”, a completat un băiat de 10 ani.

Virusul care provoacă banala răceală are abilitatea de a îndepărta SARS-CoV-2, virusul care provoacă boala COVID-19, arată un studiu efectuat de cercetători de la Universitatea din Glasgow, publicat în Jurnalul de Boli Infecțioase (Journal of Infectious Diseases), relatează BBC, transmite digi24.ro. Însă, același studiu avertizează că acest „beneficiu” este de scurtă durată, dar pentru că virusul care provoacă răcelile este atât de răspândit ar putea fi exploatat să suprime COVID-19. De exemplu, gripa este unul din cele mai „egoiste” virusuri și aproape de fiecare dată „lucrează” singur. Când rinovirusul a fost eliberat cu 24 de ore înainte, COVID nu a putut să intre, iar când SARS-CoV-2 a fost eliberat primul, rinovirusul l-a „detronat”. Însă, coronavirusul a putut să se răspândească din nou după ce răceala din „organism” a trecut iar răspunsul imunitar a încetat.
