În loc să provoace o revoltă internațională, incidentul a fost întâmpinat cu zâmbete pe ambele părți ale frontierei, scrie digi24. Un localnic pasionat de istorie mergea prin pădure şi a observat că piatra care marca graniţa dintre cele două ţări a fost mutată 2,29 de metri. „A făcut Belgia mai mare şi Franţa mai mică, nu e o idee bună”, a declarat David Lavaux, primarul satului Erquelinnes, pentru TF1. Dar primarul din Bousignies-sur-Roc nu a fost de acord”, a glumit edilul belgian. Piatra datează din 1819, când granița a fost marcată pentru prima dată.

Cel mai mare avion din lume a efectuat al doilea zbor test, marcând un nou pas către următoarea generație a tehnologiei de lansare aeriană, scrie Telegraph, citează hotnews.ro. Avionul a fost supranumit ”Roc”, după pasărea mitologică ce putea căra un elefant dintr-o poveste cu Sinbad. Proiectul Stratolaunch a fost demarat în 2011 de Burt Rutan și co-fondatorul Microsoft Paul Allen, acesta decedând înainte de primul zbor de test, ce a avut loc în aprilie 2019. Inițial, acest ”monstru” aerian a fost proiectat pentru a duce rachete la marginea atmosferei, de unde să fie lansate din zbor, cu scopul de a face trimiterea de sateliți pe orbită ”la fel de simplă ca achiziționarea unui bilet de avion”. Dar, în 2020, Stratolaunch a anunțat că schimbă direcția spre lansarea de avioane supersonice care să zboare de cinci ori mai repede decât viteza sunetului.

Международный олимпийский комитет утвердил фрагмент из Концерта для фортепиано с оркестром № 1 Петра Ильича Чайковского в качестве замены российского гимна на Олимпийских играх в Токио и Пекине. Эта музыка будет звучать на протокольных мероприятиях с участием российских спортсменов, в частности на церемониях награждения, пишет ria.ru. В конце прошлого года Спортивный арбитражный суд на два года запретил российским спортсменам выступать на крупных международных соревнованиях под национальным флагом. Олимпийский комитет России предлагал заменить гимн песней "Катюша", но МОК отклонил этот запрос. Россияне выступят на Олимпийских играх в Токио и Пекине под аббревиатурой ROC.
