Miraculous as it may seem, it was not the hand of God that helped save Ukraine. “This is WarWilding,” says Jasper Humphreys, director of programs for the Marjan Study Group in the war studies department at King’s College London, which researches conflict and the environment. Since Ukrainian forces breached the dam to re-flood the Irpin River, irrigation canals near the town of Rakivka have overflowed “I woke up in the middle of the night, a few days after reading the ‘hero river’ story in the Guardian about how the Ukrainian army re-flooded the dying Irpin River and its former wetlands to save the Ukrainian capital,” says the academic....

People who would benefit from PrEP for HIV infection are also often at high risk for other STDs. Globally, 1 in 4 people who would benefit from HIV PrEP have been previously diagnosed with at least 1 STD – specifically gonorrhea, syphilis or chlamydia before starting PrEP. Since STIs are asymptomatic, many of these infections would have been missed and the chain of transmission continued if testing had not been carried out....

Comment Americans often do things a little differently than the rest of the world. We measure differently (imperial vs. metric), write the date differently (month-day-year vs. day-month-year), and fill our cups with massive amounts of ice (a less economical but arguably more enjoyable way to drink). We also celebrate workers and the labor movement on a completely different day than most of the world: Labor Day vs. May Day. This is especially strange when you consider that both days started right here in the United States....

Footage from the ring from Sunday shows the 45-year-old woman walking casually down a tree-lined street in the Windy City’s Lakeview neighborhood when a dark sedan suddenly pulls up in the street. As she innocently continues walking, three hooded and masked men suddenly come out and grab her — at least one of whom is pointing a gun. The video captures the terrified screams of a Chicago woman being ambushed at gunpoint in a “safe” neighborhood....

President Biden’s executive order to effectively transfer billions of dollars worth of college loan debt to the American taxpayer ‘jumps into [his] person,” economist Steve Moore said Monday on Fox News. The White House called the handout a “forgiveness,” but economists like Moore have pointed out that mathematically the debt can’t just disappear. “It’s almost comical that the Biden administration is talking about how it’s reducing the deficit and reducing the debt, when, in fact, since Joe Biden took office, if you add up all these spending bills … and then if they put in $500 billion more on that per-pupil relief you’re talking about … over $4 trillion in spending, that’s 400 comma 000 comma 000 comma 000,” he said....

Early on, Garcia was playing high-stakes tennis and landing shots where he wanted, sometimes right at Gauff’s feet, sometimes well away. In contrast to the early success experienced by Gauff, aged just 18, it has been a long journey for Garcia, who can now play in the first Grand Slam semi-final of her career at the age of 28. No. 17 Garcia took charge from the start and never let up in a 6-3, 6-4 victory over No....

Celia Marsh, 42, a dental nurse from Melksham, Wiltshire, died on 27 December 2017 after eating an ultra-vegetarian rainbow bread from the sandwich chain’s outlet in Bath, Somerset. The wrap contained yogurt that was supposed to be vegan, but was later found to have traces of dairy protein. The mother-of-five suffered from a severe dairy allergy and the Avon coroner said she “religiously avoided” all dairy products after a near-fatal allergic reaction months earlier....

And yet, when his lawyers formally filed the papers, they chose a tiny court in the farthest northeast corner of the federal court’s largest district — a satellite location 70 miles from Mar-a-Lago. They ignored the West Palm Beach federal courthouse which is a 12 minute drive away. Trump’s legal team, it seemed, was specifically looking for a particular federal judge: one he appointed as president. The tactic backfired, and Trump got a Clinton-era judge who he immediately tried to disqualify for alleged bias....

Just as an organizer cut the ribbon at the ceremony in Kinshasa’s Mont-Ngafula district, the bridge buckled, both of its handrails snapped, and the central section fell into a stream a few meters below. Spectators shouted with apparent glee as the VIPs struggled to climb out of the crumpled wreckage. No one was reported injured in the incident. One of the last people to climb free was a man in military fatigues and dark glasses holding an unopened bottle of champagne, other footage widely shared on social media showed....

Gazprom says the ball is in Siemens Energy’s court Siemens Energy: We do not understand Gazprom Germany debates energy curbs Russia: We will send our oil to Asia VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Sept 6 (Reuters) – Russia’s largest natural gas pipeline to Europe will not resume pumping until Siemens Energy ( ENR1n.DE ) repairs faulty equipment, its deputy chief executive told Reuters on Tuesday Gazprom (GAZP.MM), Vitaly Markelov. Europe is facing its worst gas supply crisis ever, with energy prices soaring and German importers even discussing bailouts in the European Union’s biggest economy after Russia cut flows to the west....

Russia has called the US intelligence report on the shopping plan “fake”. But US officials say it shows Russia’s desperation with the war in Ukraine and that Moscow could buy additional military hardware from North Korea. The munitions that North Korea allegedly sold to Moscow are likely replicas of Soviet-era weapons that can fit Russian launchers. However, questions remain about the quality of the supplies and how much they could actually help the Russian military....

Der Großbrand im Harz breitete sich zunächst nicht aus. Zwei Löschflugzeuge aus Italien und sechs Löschhubschrauber stehen nun bereit, um den Brockenbrand zu bekämpfen. Das Brandverhalten war in der Nacht stabil, wie ein Vertreter der Region Harz (Sachsen-Anhalt) am Morgen mitteilte. Flugzeuge und Hubschrauber sollen gegen 9 Uhr morgens abheben. Löschflugzeuge können mehr als 6.000 Liter Wasser aufnehmen und ablassen. Sie wurden über das zentrale Koordinierungsbüro in Brüssel im Rahmen des europäischen Hilfsprogramms „RescEU-IT“ angefordert und trafen am Sonntagabend ein....
