Federer has just become a billionaire. And not for his 20 Grand Slams, but for some shoes that his wife bought

by

With unique elegance, Roger Federer He raised tennis to an art form. Throughout a professional career that extended for 24 years, he conquered 20 Grand Slam titlesbecoming one of the most laureate and admired tennis players of all time. Number one in the world for 310 weeks, its fluid style and its consistency in the elite redefined the standards of excellence in sport. However, that economic booty that kneaded During his career he did not enter the most select club of the great fortunes of sport. Multimillionaire. Yes, because Federer has crossed a threshold reserved for very few: he has officially become a billionaire. With an estimated fortune in 1.3 billion of dollars according to the Bloomberg Billionaires indexsports legend not only joins the exclusive club that integrate athletes Like Michael Jordan Or Tiger Woods, but does it without having depended exclusively on his sports achievements. Rather the opposite. Throughout a race that gave him those 20 Grand Slam titles between 2003 and 2018 and some 130.6 million in prizesthe Swiss built a personal brand armored, based on sobriety, constancy, the prestige of the firms that accompanied him and the total absence of scandals. This combination not only multiplied its value outside the clues, but made it one of the most reliable assets of global sport, even after officially retiring in 2022. The quid of longevity. Bloomberg had That Federer’s financial rise was not the product of a late commitment, but a patient construction of long -term commercial relations with top -level companies. Since his early as a professional he signed contracts with signatures Like Rolex, Mercedes Benz, Lindt and Credit suisse (today UBS), all characterized by a conservative, demanding and impeccable reputation approach. His profile fit naturally in that ecosystem, where he was not only brand ambassador, but also national symbol. In 2013, he gave A key step When founding with its agent Tony Godsick the Team8 representation company, which is not only responsible for its businesses but also for the management of its legacy and its foundation. Through it and with the support of the Swiss Format Format A AG, Federer maintained Absolute control About his investments, positioning himself as a self -manager at the height of his legend. The contract with Uniqlo. One of the most striking turns in its commercial career occurred in 2018, when Federer left Nike After more than two decades of relationship. The American firm considered that tennis was no longer a strategic market, which allowed Uniqlo (owned by the Japanese Fast retailing) to do A historical offer: 300 million of dollars for ten years, without clauses linked to sports activity. Federer was then 37 years old and was already in the final stretch of his career, which turned the agreement into an unusual but safe bet: the brand wanted to associate not only with the player, but with the symbol. The contract with Uniqlo, far from marking the end of his great income, laid the foundations for his next master play. THE GREAT INVESTMENT: ON. Talk later From her a while ago. Federer’s greatest financial success was not a sponsorship, but a strategic investment of casual origin: His wife bought some sneakers from an emerging Swiss brand called onspecialized in high performance footwear. Federer, design enthusiast and collector of more than 250 pairs of sneakers, met with the founders in Zurich and shortly thereafter about 3% of the company. The alliance was not limited to capital: he spent hours in the laboratory designing its own model and promoting the brand through its global image. Today, ON Holding AG is valued in about 17,000 million dollarswhich turns Federer’s participation into a source of income of more than 500 million, well above alone of everything he won on the track. His entrance as an investor coincided with the company’s IP, which further reinforced his position as a visionary entrepreneur (and with flower). The profitability of the image. They explained in Fortune that the secret behind Federer’s commercial durability does not only reside in millionaire contracts, but in coherence and control of Your public projection. Unlike other great athletes, Federer has avoided linking To questionable brands, to ephemeral media projects or excessive exhibitions in sports media and comments. His figure remains associated with the elegance, precision and neutrality of his game on the track, deeply Swiss attributes that have made him an ideal ambassador for companies that value stability and reputation. Even its recent appearances, such as The start act of the 24 hours of Le Mans or the launch of his New collection with Uniqlo In Paris, they respond to a measure of visibility measure that enhances the value of their personal brand without wearing it. The legacy. If you want also, Federer’s rise to the status of a multimillionaire not only reaffirms his mastery inside (and outside) of the track, but redefines the horizon of what an athlete You can build No need for controversy, stridency or forced retirement. His case shows that the Personal brandwhen managed with intelligence, coherence, and long -term vision, it can be as powerful as any right -wing blow. Of course, none of this would have been possible without overwhelmingly good That was playing tennis. That and, of course, some luck with the casual purchase of a wife’s shoes. The same ones that are reporting much more than the 20 Grand Slams.

China has already won the nuclear energy career to the US and Russia. And he has done it thanks to a avant -garde reactor

by

China’s nuclear program was born in the 50s of the last century. The cold war held by the US and the Soviet Union had incited these two countries to Develop your nuclear arsenal With a shocking speed, and Mao Zedong, the co -founder and leader of the Communist Party of China, decided to ask the Soviet Union for help for launch your own nuclear plan. In 1955 this cooperation allowed China to build its first floor of Uranium-235 and Plutonium productionand also supported the foundation of the National Nuclear Corporation of China (CNC). Only four years later, in 1959, the Soviet Union ended the collaboration with China in nuclear technology. This decision was a very hard setback for the country led by Mao Zedong, who embarked on A career towards self -sufficient in the development of nuclear energy. However, China’s plan prospered very slowly during the next three decades. The first nuclear power plant designed and built entirely by China, the Qinshan plant, was successfully connected to the electricity network on December 15, 1991. At that time China could not rival at all with The development of nuclear technology that had reached the US and the almost extinct Soviet Union. In 2002 China only had two nuclear centrals in operation. Today has no less than 58 nuclear reactors in activity. Only US has more (94). During the last two decades China’s civil and military nuclear program It has advanced with a vertiginous speed, but the most important thing is not the number of reactors that it currently has in operation: the really differential thing is that it has been placed At the forefront in nuclear technology. China leads thanks to its nuclear reactor of molten salts and Torio The TMSR-LF1 reactor officially entered into operation on October 11, 2023. A few months later, on June 17, 2024, he began working at full power. And on October 8 of last year the technicians who operate it detected protacinium-233 (PA-233), a radioactive isotope intermediate derived from the transformation of the thorium into Uranium-233 as part of the fuel cycle of the thorium. This nuclear reactor is in the Minqin industrial complex of the province of Gansu, in northern China. It has a power of 2 thermal megawatts (MWT), and, although it will not be the first Fourth Generation Nuclear Reactor in activity, and neither the first one that Torio will use as fuel, yes It will be the first of molten salts that will use this chemical element. However, the ambition of this Asian country does not end here; It is already planning to build a molten salts and torium reactor of more capacity for 2030, although China is not the only country that bets on this technology. China plans to build a molten salts and torio reactor of more capacity for 2030 The US, France or India are some of those who have also invested in research programs that pursue the development of nuclear reactors capable of generating electricity from the thorium. India’s in particular is interesting because it aims to demonstrate the viability of fuel cycles based on thorium in the context of its advanced heavy water reactor project. This technology is still far from being adopted in a generalized way, but its advantages closely link it to the future of nuclear energy. Our planet brings together approximately 12 million tons of thorium, so this chemical element is three times more abundant In the earth’s cortex that Uranium used as fuel in the current nuclear centrals. The largest deposits reside in China, Brazil, Canada, Australia, USA, Greenland, Russia, Norway, South Africa and Venezuela, although prospects reflect that the country that Torio has is precisely one of the ones that is investing most in the development of reactors capable of using it: India. Another point in your favor is that it is as easy to extract as uranium, but it has the inconvenience that it is not directly physable. It is necessary to introduce it into a reactor that manufactures uranium from Torio, and what it produces is not uranium-235, it is Uranium-233, but the important thing is that it is physable. Once this uranium has occurred, it can be introduced into a conventional reactor like those we have in Spain, which could not work with Torio, but with a derivative of that element. In addition, experts say that molten salts nuclear reactors are safer than reactors installed in the nuclear power plants that are currently in operation. Experts say that molten salts nuclear reactors are safer than reactors installed in the nuclear power plants that are currently in operation Two of the reasons are that they use as a refrigerant lithium fluoride and beryllium at a very low pressure, and the fuel remains dissolved in the form of salt, so it is very unlikely that an accident could trigger the fusion of the reactor’s core. Another quality of these reactors that are worth not overlooking is that Its architecture allows them to be installed undergroundwhich, again, increases your safety. But this is not all. Another peculiar and positive feature of these reactors is that they allow to recharge the fuel while remaining in operation. And, in addition, the fact that they do not need water to maintain the refrigerated nucleus allows them to be installed in regions in which water is scarce, or, simply, in areas where there is no river and are not close to the sea. This is one of the reasons why China is investing in the development of this technology as a means to build fourth generation nuclear power plants in the most remote and arid regions of the country. It is also worth not overlooking that Radioactive waste They generate have a much shorter semi -grid period than that of the residues of the reactors that use uranium, which logically facilitates their management. And, in addition, the folk salts reactors They use less fuel Because the efficiency of the thorium is much higher than … Read more

A US Nuclear Submarine has just arrived in Iceland for the first time in history. That can only mean one thing: Giuk

by

When 2025 United States began, a word incessantly repeated: Greenland. There was no appearance of Trump where he did not slide that Washington was interested in getting the small nation, even for the bad. Behind, of course, There was much more that an occurrence, because the island is part of a Western strategic edge that he shares with the United Kingdom and Iceland. Interestingly, the first nuclear submarine in the US has just come to stay. First nuclear scale. Yes, by first time In history, a nuclear propulsion submarine in the United States has docked in Iceland. He USS Newport Newsa fast attack unit Los Angeles classarrived in Reykiavik in a movement that underlines the growing strategic importance of the Arctic in a context of Geopolitical tensions increasingly acute. The Icelandic government only began to allow the entry of nuclear submarines in its territorial waters in 2023and this inaugural visit is part of an increasingly narrow cooperation pattern with Washington and NATO. The American navy presented the event as A “decisive moment” which reaffirms its commitment to collective defense and maritime security of the Arctic, while American diplomats in Reykiavik stressed that the operation has been carried out in full Coordination with Icelandcountry that does not have its own naval forces and depends on the allied umbrella for protection. Giuk. It We count A few months ago. The geostrategic background of the event is closely linked to the call Giuk runner (Between Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom), a strip of key waters through which routinely submarines of the Russian north fleet, including the advanced yasen-m Cruise missile carriers. The location of Iceland makes the island a vital control point to follow these vessels before they are hidden in the vast Atlantic and represent a potential threat to the east coast of the United States. During the cold war, Iceland housed to the 57th Hunting Wing of the American Air Force at the Keflavik base, as well as maritime surveillance detachments With P-3 Orion aircraft. Currently, this surveillance persists with modern P-8a Poseidon and with NATO fighters that rotate to cover the Icelandic airspace. The Newport News stop adds to that renewed defense network, in a context where NATO has intensified protection of underwater infrastructure after alleged sabotage acts Russian In the Baltic which alerted about the vulnerability of vital cables and conduits. Sobs on board the submarine make guard while arriving in Reykjavík, Iceland And more. As We explainYes, let’s say Russia or China cross the corridor, its location would become extremely difficult, both because of the acoustic conditions of the underwater terrain and by oceanic vastness. Thus, from those hidden positions they could launch missile attacks against objectives in the east of the American continent. In fact and in response to this, the United States formed in 2021 the so -called Task Group Greyhounda specialized group of anti -submarine destroyers Designed to counteract This specific threat. The American navy itself warned at the time that the east coast of the country already It was not a safe shelterunderlining the urgency of establishing surveillance and defense points in key areas such as Greenland. The Russian answer. The truth is that Russia has proven to know very well the value of this corridor. In 2019, he organized its greatest naval exercise From the Cold War, sending at least ten submarines through the completely submerged Giuk gap, with the aim of Reach the Atlantic without being intercepted. According to Norwegian mediathe intention was clear: to prove the capacity of the West to detect movements of his fleet and demonstrate that he could project power to the US coast. These exercises also fulfill a fund growing territorial presence. A new stage. Beyond its symbolic value, the arrival of the Newport News represents an important operational step for the United States: to have a logistic support point for nuclear submarines in the Arctic without the need for move to Scotland or northern Norway. The ship, equipped with twelve vertical launch tubes for Tomahawk missiles and anti -submarine and anti -surface warfare systems, also provides surveillance and deterrence in a region where Russia has reinforced its naval presence and has increased its military activity near Finland. Icelandic Foreign Ministry itself recognized that these visits contribute to continuous and efficient underwater surveillance that also protects critical infrastructures submerged in Icelandic waters. Since 2023, six American submarines They had already briefly entered the island waters for partial crew rotations, but this is the first stop in port, product of bilateral regulations prepared with discretion and based on similar agreements with other Nordic countries. An emerging axis. The submarine scale is not an isolated case: in 2019, B-2 Spirit poachers They also used Iceland as an advanced base, which was a novelty for both aircraft and for the island. The ability to operate from austere locations has become a key principle of the American projection strategy. Iceland, who for decades played a secondary role after the end of the cold war, is repositioning as a central node in the defensive device of NATO in the north, especially in front of the resurgence of the Russian underwater threat. This scale, therefore, is not only a naval operation, but a silent but unequivocal statement of intentions: the United States contemplates the Arctic as a theater of strategic competence in full boom, already Iceland as its new bastion.

New generation of Mazda CX-5 and new notice to navigators: if you thought that Mazda was willing to fold the industry trends, you are very wrong. The Japanese company has presented its most successful SUV with the same signs of the usual identity. The most interesting thing is not that he maintains the polished lines from the outside that have defined their last releases, the most interesting is their modernization in the cabin while maintaining a taste with a flavor to the past, of good displacement but with echo stickers. Mazda CX-5 Technical Card Mazda CX-5 Body type Five -seater SUV MEASURES 4,690 mm long, 1,860 mm wide, 1,695 mm high. Wheelbase of 2,815 mm Trunk 583 liters Maximum power 141 hp WLTP consumption 7.0 l/100 km in front traction 7.4-7.5 l/100 km in total traction Environmental Distinctive ECHO.

First deliveries scheduled for the end of 2025 A brand that remains in its thirteen If Mazda has highlighted for something during her history, she has been for doing different things. The company is the only Victoria in the 24 hours of Le Mans With a car moved with this technology. In recent years, the company has achieved delve into the trend. They have long made it clear that they do not trust the electric car at all (Although his Mazda 6e points good ways) and that they are especially critical with those who bet on Very heavy electric. Its MX-5 is one of those few light sports ones that remain in the market and, bound by European emission regulations, They are considering If it is worth it combine your rotating engine with electrification. A path that They have already started traveling with their MX-30. At the same time, while the industry electrifies its cars with profusion and has been lowering their displacements to have smaller engines, Mazda has opted to do the opposite. Engines that nobody offers As a sign of identity and value before the client. Their low sales in Europe encourage them to take these types of risks and have already confirmed that they had an association with other brands to pay accounts against Brussels and save the fines. With this context in mind, the company has remained firm to the point of offering a six-cylinder diesel engine in its CX-60. One of those that nobody offers or wants to offer. Now, repeat formula with the CX-5. Its new generation comes with a 2.5 -liter gasoline engine but that is slightly hybridized to earn the favor of European regulators. Of course, not all are good news for the most passionate, since there are important developments inside. Good and bad news for the most purists As we said, Mazda CX-5 arrives with a light hybrid. This is with the E-Skyactiv G engine of 2.5 liters and 141 hp that is already available at Mazda 3 for a few months. This 24 V light hybridization system allows you to obtain the DGT echo label. The promise is to maintain that soft and progressive touch of the atmospheric of Mazda with a hybrid system whose only task is to recover energy during braking to supply electricity to the requirements of the car while it is in operation. Only at very specific times offers engine assistance. With this, Mazda CX-5 barely saves fuel but does obtain that precious echo label that is interesting in the center of large cities and offers certain advantages (depending on the city) when paying taxes or parking in regulated parking services. Goodbye to the physical controls in the Mazda dashboard Of course, not everything is good news for the most purists. The interior adopts the same style that we have already seen in the first images of the Mazda 6e. The physical controls of the dashboard disappear and are barely maintained for the defense of the moons and the emergency button. The buttons in the steering wheel are physical but the air conditioning is now controlled from a 12.9 -inch screen that grows at 15.6 inches in its top range finishes. Goodbye to the promise that Mazda would not fall on the giant touch screens. Now everything happens to be controlled with your hands. It is a substantial change in the interiors of the company that had already adopted the purely digital instrument picture (here of 12.9 inches) but that maintained its position of small but well integrated screens and with a roulette control while we are in motion. In return, Mazda has confirmed that it includes a deep integration with Google. In addition to having Google Maps as a serial browser or Google Play with applications of all kinds available, Gemini will be the AI ​​assistant to facilitate use in hands -free mode. Regarding safety equipment and ADAS SYSTEMS OF DRIVINGMazda includes the mandatory basics by the European Union (including emergency braking or the rear camera) but also an adaptive cruise control with assistance for lane change, automatic parking or traffic light, which alerts when it has been put in green.

professionals to fix their pifias

by

Artificial intelligence has reached Transform the labor market of ways that neither the companies themselves imagine, promising efficiency and cost reduction. However, behind this technological revolution, there are a group of professionals who are seeing their income growing thanks to errors that makes the AI. The rise of automation with AI has opened a new labor niche: fix the strips that the AI ​​leaves in its path. There are more and more companies that, after trying to replace employees for AI agentshave discovered that failures They can leave expensive. The rush for adopting artificial intelligence without a deep analysis have generated an unexpected demand for experts capable of solving the problems that these technologies cause. Advance is expensive. In recent months, much has been discussed about how artificial intelligence is replacing workers And how could I still do it More in the near future. However, the reality is that those who have opted to replace human employees too soon, have found that AI makes mistakes, and many. According to Recent dataAI agents can make up up to 70% In complex tasks, which shows that its reliability is far from perfect. Companies who fired staff To save costs they have had to hire experts after the AI ​​did not meet the minimal demands of the task. “The AI ​​also has many cases in which it can ‘hallucinate, generating irrelevant, invented or inconsistent content,’” Explain To the British BBC he Feng Li Professor, Associate Dean of Research and Innovation at the Bayes Business School. “Although it seems a quick and economical option, the AI ​​rarely takes into account the unique identity of the brand, the objective population groups or the design centered on conversion. As a result, much of the result seems generic and can harm the reputation or effectiveness of the brand,” says Li. The business of fixing the IA errors. In that context, some professionals have found a gold mine in the repair of the Errors made by AI. Such and as they highlight To BBC some of these professionals, these interventions usually be done at the last minute and as a last resort before an imminent delivery, which triggers prices. He supposed savings that promised AI ends up becoming an extra cost, since experts charge raised rates for solving these problems to counterreloj. Sophie Warner, co -owner of the Create Designs agency in the United Kingdom, says: “We often have to collect a research rate to find out what has failed, since (clients) do not want to admit it, and the process of correcting these errors takes much longer than if professionals had been consulted from the beginning.” Warner remembers the case of a client who, for saving 15 minutes of work to update his website, turned to Chatgpt to generate a code fragment. Solving the error “cost them about 400 euros and their online business was inactive for three days.” 100 dollars an hour to fix the pifias of the AI. Sarah Skidd, product marketing manager, He published on LinkedIn His experience, counting that it was hired by a content agency to urgently review the text of a website produced with AI for a client in the hotel sector. “I dedicated about 20 hours to rewriting the text, charging 100 dollars per hour,” explained Skidd, who says it was not about making small changes, but “rebuilding everything” to give consistency. Far from fearing the AI, Skidd considers that “he is not afraid of AI as chatgpt because they are very basic when writing texts.” In its LinkedIn publication, writer Sarah Taslik too I commented that a company generated 50 articles with AI and hired it to review them: “I needed two whole months to rewrite them.” The most human: a new source of income. These professionals emphasize that it is not only about correcting the possible mistakes and hallucinations that AI commits, but of humanize the content generated by AI. Kashish Barot, editor in India, He counted to the BBC that edits texts written by AI for American clients with the aim of “seems more human.” Barot points out that “a good edition, just like writing, it takes time because you have to think and not select how AI. (AI) does not understand the nuances well because it only selects the data.” This phenomenon has opened opportunities for professionals who previously dedicated themselves to Create original contentand that now find in the content edition generated by the additional source of income that, in addition, due to the urgency context is even better paid. The work of these experts has become essential for companies that seek to maintain the quality and authenticity of their communication, despite automation.

Nvidia is the first company to reach 4 billion dollars of capitalization

by

Nvidia has achieved something historical: becoming the first company quoted to reach 4 billion dollars of stock market. During Wednesday’s session, the company’s shares They reached this symbolic milestonesurpassing both Apple and Microsoft. An ephemeral but significant achievement. Although Nvidia’s actions closed the day with A 1.8% riseplacing its valuation slightly below the 4 billion, the fact of having touched this figure during the session marks a historical moment in the markets. The company has managed to overcome giants like Apple, which began the year as The most valuable company in the world With 3.9 billion dollars, and Microsoft, which for months has exchanged positions with Nvidia as the ranking leader. The AI ​​revolution drives Nvidia. The meteoric rise of Nvidia It is explained by its central role in the boom of artificial intelligence. Their specialized chips feed on data centers that companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google need for their AI models and cloud services. This strategic positioning has catapulted its actions 22% so far this year, despite geopolitical turbulence and commercial restrictions with China. The numbers speak for themselves. In its last fiscal quarter, Nvidia generated $ 44,100 million in revenue, an increase of 69% compared to the same period of the previous year. The forecasts of the sector are even more optimistic: the global expenditure on the infrastructure of the 200,000 million dollars in 2028 is expected to exceed 2028, according to The International Data Corporation research firm. Obstacles on the road. Not everything has been a rose path for the company. Export restrictions of Your H20 chips China has cost about 8,000 million dollars in lost sales. In addition, the irruption of Deepseekthe Chinese startup that was planted out of nowhere with it developed from a powerful model and promising to have reached its milestone With ridiculous costs compared, caused doubts On whether the expensive Nvidia chips were really essential for the advance of AI, temporarily sinking your actions in January. Overflowing expectations. Despite these setbacks, Wall Street analysts maintain overflowing optimism. The Loop Capital firm esteem That Nvidia could reach a capitalization of 6 billion dollars in 2028, arguing that the company essentially maintains a monopoly in critical technology for the AI ​​sector. For its part, CEO Jensen Huang, who has become The tenth richest person in the worldaccording to the Bloomberg index, with a equity of 140,000 million dollars, See a promising future Ahead: “Of course, we know that AI is this incredible technology that will transform all industries, from the way we do the software to medical care and financial services to retail trade until, I suppose, all industries, transport, manufacturing … and we are at the beginning of that.” Cover image | Nvidia In Xataka | Depseek marked a turning point in OpenAi: now reinforces its safety while GPT -5 appears on the horizon, according to FT

The war enters the field of science fiction. Ukraine has captured Russian soldiers without humans: the robots did it

by

In the last hours two unpublished facts have been known in the Ukraine War. The first of all occurred a few hours after Trump announced the Partial resumption of sending weapons to kyiv and criticize hard To Putin. Then Russia launched The biggest attack with long -range drones from the beginning of the war. The second goes directly to History booksbecause Ukraine has stopped Russian troops only through machines. Drones and robots on the front line. In an unparalleled event in modern military history, the 3rd separate assault brigade of Ukraine managed to capture Russian soldiers Without using infantry human, using exclusively aerial drones and terrestrial robotic platforms. The operation, announced on July 9 by official Ukrainian sources, represents a unprecedented milestone In the evolution of automated combat, marking the first time enemy soldiers surrender directly to unmanned systems. According to The statement of the brigade, the terrestrial drones were the immediate receptors of the surrender, an event that until now belonged to the science fiction and that has now materialized in the context of the war in Ukraine. Asymmetric technology and war. The operation took place in the Járkov region, northeast of the country, an area high intensity on the front from the beginning of the large -scale invasion by Russia. The Ukrainian unit deployed FPV drones and robotic platforms Kamikaze -type terrestrial to assault Russian fortifications that had resisted previous attacks from other units. These tools, developed as part of a national strategy to reduce human casualties and adapt to a saturated artillery and surveillance war theater, allowed Ukrainian forces to execute an offensive Without exposing directly to your soldiers. According to Brigade’s storythe drones destroyed several Russian positions, and as a terrestrial robot approached a partially damaged shelter, the Russian soldiers entrenched there chose to surrender, without there being human presence in the immediate vicinity. An automated capture. After the surrender, the prisoners were guided outside the fighting zone by The same drones Ukrainians, in a sequence more typical of fantastic literature that demonstrates not only the offensive capacity of these systems, but also their effectiveness to operate complex tasks such as custody and remote control of enemy movements rendered. Subsequently, the Russian soldiers were taken in custody by Ukrainian forces. The success of this maneuver, they tell, not only allowed capture without direct physical contact, but also facilitated the taking of the fortifications previously defended, as well as the control of a adjacent forest line of considerable tactical value. New military paradigm. No doubt, the episode not only shows the degree of sophistication achieved in Ukraine in the matter of Automated warbut also raises fundamental questions about the future of land combat. The Rendary against drones Terrestres is a radical turn in the psychological dynamics of the battlefield: the soldiers, in this case Russians, did not face visible, human enemies, but to silent machines that approached relentlessly, having destroyed all previous defenses. This type of deployment, which mixes destructive capacity with occupation and control functions, anticipates a new paradigm where direct human interaction could become exceptional even in capture operations. Russia attack in Ukraine An unprecedented offensive. But as we said, if the capture of Russian soldiers was a historical fact of modern wars, Russia’s attack It is not precedents From the beginning of the invasion. On one night that could redefine the limits of the unmanned air war, Russia unleashed the greatest drone attack, launching 728 Shahed drones (including lures) and 13 missiles, including feared Kinzhalagainst 741 objectives throughout the country. The epicenter of the attack was the city of Lutsk, in the Ukrainian northwest, a few kilometers From the border with Polandwhich caused the Polish and NATO Air Forces to be deployed in maximum alert. According to kyivmost of the projectiles were intercepted, especially thanks to electronic warfare systems, although hypersonic missiles managed to cause unspecified damage. War in the front and in court. While the sky becomes a network of autonomous swarms, the situation on land remains marked by intense fighting No significant advances. Russian troops They continue to press In Sumy, Járkov, Luhansk and Donetsk, although reports indicate that Ukraine has contained attacks on most of those fronts. In parallel, a Russian soldier belonging to a criminal battalion He denounced publicly Inhuman conditions and the lack of gunner support, describing suicidal assaults in improvised vehicles and without air backup. On the legal level, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia has systematically violated human rights Since 2014including extrajudicial executions, torture, forced deportation of children and forced labor. The Kremlin, on the other hand, dismissed the ruling as “null and without effect.” Plans. They counted the Twz analysts that kyiv, anticipating a large -scale response, would be preparing a thousand drones long range against Russian objectives, including areas near Moscow. In addition, the Ukrainian Secret Service arrested Two Chinese citizens accused of trying to spy technologies of the Neptune missileused in the Moskva’s sinking and now adapted for long -range terrestrial attacks. On land, the proliferation of unmanned land vehicles, such as New UGV “Snail” Or improvised models with wheels made of mines, shows that automation not only dominates the heavens, but also advances on the mud and steel of the front. The war in Ukraine, ultimately, thus enters a phase every time More hybrid and technological of the traditional forms of combat. The contest, that already It had been a pioneer In use massive drones Of recognition and attack, another threshold has crossed, this time historical and unimaginable does not so much: the surrender of soldiers against machines.

Ciudad Real will create the only Zbe in Spain where cars without DGT label are welcome

by

Classism It is one of the most repeated words among critics with low emissions (ZBE) areas that are mandatory in Spain since 2023 for all municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants. An obligation that arrived with many lagoons and from which Ciudad Real wants to take advantage of. 60,000 euros. “It is not an area for rich in which only those that have enough money to buy a 60,000 euros car, of zero emission, which would be the electric ones can be passed to certain areas of the city.” The words are from Francisco Cañizares, mayor of Ciudad Real, to The Ciudad Real Tribune. They expose one of the greatest criticisms that are being made to low emissions areas: they are venated spaces for older and cheap vehicles. And he emphasizes, “the majority of the population who lives in the center of the city does not have in their plans to change the car. You have to look for plans for these people.” The Quita and Pon Zbe. What Ciudad Real will create is, as explained in the local environment, a Zbe in which all cars are welcome. That is, there will be no discrimination due to DGT labelingwhich gives free way to circulate with a 1998 diesel car, to give a single example. The Zbe of Ciudad Real will be extended to all its central buds called Area for environmental pollution episodes (Zeca). This only imposes restrictions when high pollution episodes are detected. However, these restrictions will allow the passage of any car with label … and without it, provided that the vehicle without a label is part of the municipal vehicle register and is registered in the Zeca. Or if a resident of this area issues an authorization to pass this car without label. Who stays out? In practice, almost nobody. “Those who come from outside,” says the mayor who, yes, says that the days where high pollution episodes are detected are “a special situation of one day or two (every year).” With this, it means that only the cars registered outside the municipal employer, without label (gasoline before the year 2000 and diesel prior to 2006) and without authorization of a resident of the area, are the ones that cannot pass. Is it legal? Yes, it is totally legal. The obligation to create a ZBE in all municipalities of more than 50,000 inhabitants arrived with Important lagoons. The only requirement to meet is that air quality is improved But the City Council was not forced to apply concrete restrictions. In Ciudad Real they defend that pedestrianizing some streets in what they call Healthy Real Ciudad Zone (ZCRS) It is sufficient to reduce Nox emissions by 40% and those of CEO 10% face 2030. As read in the Guide delivered by the Government To the municipalities where examples of how to establish a low emissions area were set, this possibility was contemplated. However, The obligation Building a Zbe arrived without any sanction for those who did not comply. What has happened? Multitude of municipalities have refused To implement a ZBE because it is a very delicate issue among voters and, in some cases such as this Manchega city, it applies without a real impact on neighbors. Is not the only one. In fact, Ciudad Real is not the first city that, in practice, barely restricts the use of vehicles where the Zbe is applied. To give an example, In Bilbao (where it has been said that cars with badge will not access b) The ZBE only occupies two square kilometers and the B labels can circulate without problems. The only requirement is to park in a public parking, not on the street. In Sevillethe Zbe has taken to the island of La Cartuja instead of the city center, as usual. In this way, its affectation is minimal and, in addition, it is only active in a very specific schedule.
