Huawei has just said goodbye to Android by Deepseek. And this strange folding is the first step

by

I had announcing the movement For a few months, and it has finally materialized on a phone. Huawei He just said goodbye to Android in his native countryand he has done it with a curious phone with an never seen aspect relationship. This is the first phone that lands on the market with Harmonyos Nextthe operating system completely developed by Huawei with its own kernel and without a trace of Android. In addition to premiere operating system, it is the first Huawei device to release Harmony Intelligence, its AI in collaboration with Deepseek. Goodbye to Android. The day came. Huawei has presented its first phone without a trace of Android, the Huawei pure x flip. To date, the company’s mobiles were marketed in China with Harmonyos. An operating system that, although the company wanted to completely disconnect from Android, was based on its nucleus. With Harmonyos Next things are different. This is an operating system developed from scratch, does not use Android code, is not compatible with its apps (at least, not if these are not modified) and uses its own core (HMS or Huawei Mobile Services) instead of the Google Application Service. This is the first 100% Harmony mobile. The first step for AI. Harmony Intelligence It is your alternative to Apple Intelligence and Samsung Galaxy AIpromising to go beyond an assistant for AI. This AI has trained both the Pangu model, developed by Huawei, and in Depseek, a model that is permeating quickly in Chinese mobiles. “We have trained our AI assistant for millions of hours with our large -scale language models and we have taken that intelligence to the device for the first time, so that it looks like a human and interact naturally, with conversations with different emotions and detecting the user’s mood.” As Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei promises, the focus is that the person-one interaction is as natural as possible, coming to promise that the assistant will be able to detect user’s emotions (it has not been detailed how). In a more landed plane, it will be able to eliminate photographs objects, generate and modify them, convert voice, and even describe the objects that the telephone camera sees, so that people with accessibility problems can “see” through the mobile. Another especially curious function is to be able to read books without touching the phone: we can pass pages only with our eyes. Huawei wants a 100% own ecosystem. The key here is not that a Huawei mobile releases its AI, is that Huawei is already prepared, in agreement with Deepseekto compete with the greats of the industry. Harmonyos Next is a platform oriented to all types of devices, from home to the connected car, and this first jump presenting Harmony Intelligence is key to the Chinese manufacturer. The company has advanced that its first platform for PC (Harmonyos Next brought to desk) will land in May, and it is expected that throughout the year we will start to see this operating system in virtually all new products that launch the market. The pure huawei. The lucky one who has released Harmonyos Next is the pure x, a folding phone in appearance ratio 16.10 when it is deployed. It is a telephone that, being folded, has a 3.5 -inch screen with 980 x 980 resolution, 2,500 peak shine nits, LTPO technology and appearance ratio 1.1: completely square. Upon opening, a curious 6.3 -inch panel is displayed with resolution 2,120 x 1,320, a completely different format than we are used to. The camera system is triple, with 50 MP for the main camera, 40 MP for ultra wide angle and 8 MP for 3.5X teleobjective. It has a 4.720MAH battery with a fast charging of 60W and will be sold in China at a price that starts from 7,499 yuan (just over $ 1,000) in its 12 + 256 GB version. At the moment, far from Europe. If the question is whether Huawei’s plan to completely end its Android dependence, the answer is no … for now. In Europe, the company is looking for alliances with developers after projects such as Aurora Store to facilitate the installation of Google services in its terminals (something that is easier than ever), and betting on EMUI based on ancient Android versions. The key to Harmonyos Next ends up being global is in the Chinese manufacturer alliance with the rest of the developers and technological. In China, Google apps or giants as a goal (Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook) have hardly any presence, in our territory they are an essential for a good part of the users. Currently, they can be installed in EMUI thanks to the microg Google Services framework. Without it, the matter is complicated.

We review the predecessors of the iPod in crossover

by

Marty McFly appears on stage with an anti -the -active suit. The goal, terrorizing his father in the past. He puts some headphones, puts a Van Halen tape on his Walkman, and puts it at full volume. That mythical scene of ‘Return to the future‘I had that technological product as a singular cast actor, and what if it deserved it. And it is that the Walkman was defining a whole generation of users who had never been able to hear their music easily when they went down the street. To be able to hear the songs that you liked the most? That was miraculous. Sony revolutionized the world with Walkman, but that product was only the beginning of a paradigm shift in the world of music. Then the Discman would arrive, and with the massive adoption of MP3 we discovered that music in digital format offered even more comforts. There, the first MP3 players based on flash memories, Discman MP3 and something after the first MP3 players based on small hard drives. Until Apple raised its first disruption with the iPod, of course. That product did nothing especially different, but it did better and in a spectacular design. Then the smartphones and the iPhone would arrive, and the iPod became irrelevant. In that review we escaped other great products such as the Minidisc, but we did not want the list to become too long and we prefer to review the ones we consider more relevant. In any case everyone had their own magic, and In the fourth crossover episodein which Xataka collaborates with range caps, we do A review of all those devices. And by the way we order them from better to worse because we love to order things from better to worse, although you already know, each one has their own ranking and that is the fun of these of these Tier Lists of crossover. The episode, as always, It covers much more.

The National Police had been using ia for six years to detect false complaints. His real reliability was very debatable

by

In October 2018, the National Police published a press release in which everything sounded great. There was talk of A new artificial intelligence tool called Veripol that promised an accuracy of 90% when detecting false complaints. Six years later we have discovered that this promise was very debatable. The Technical Cabinet of the General Police Directorate He confirmed Civio that this tool ceased to be operational in October 2024, six years later. This decision, as this media points out, was not accidental. Three months before BOE was published with the new artificial intelligence regulation. In section (59) it is indicated to the polygraphs of AI as high -risk AI tools and the following is precisely indicated: “(…) It is appropriate to classify several systems of AI destined to be used for the purpose of guaranteeing the law when their precision, reliability and transparency are especially important to avoid adverse consequences, conserve the confidence of the population and guarantee accountability and effective resource roads. the risk of a natural person being a victim of crimes, Like polygraphs and other similar tools. “ Not only that: a group of law and mathematics experts from the University of Valencia highlighted In a study How Veripol was a tool that information was barely available, which made an especially complicated audit. Even indicating that this made them conjecture their conclusions, they stressed the situation was “very poor in terms of compliance with the minimum standards of transparency” necessary for the use of tools of this type. Do certain specific words are enough to detect lies? Civio conducted a study of the reliability of the tool. After analyzing 1,122 allegations of theft in Spain of 2015, Veripol’s behavior was singular: if a complaint contains the words “day”, “lawyer”, “safe” or “back” it is more likely to be false, but that probability increases If words like “two hundred” are used several times or “barely.” Veripol began to be evaluated in a pilot program in June 2017, and He won an award Investigation of the Spanish Police Foundation. There was talk of its success even In Scientific American. Little by little, its use was extended until officially activated in the aforementioned October 2018 nationwide. Its use was notable until October 2020 (about 84,000 complaints), while apparently in 2022 it was used only in 3,752 complaints, of which 511 were detected as false. In the development of said project The Complutense University of Madrid (UCM), the Carlos III University of Madrid, the University of Rome “La Sapienza” and the Interior Ministry of the Government of Spain. A UCM advertisement Point out How the initiative began in 2014, and began to be tested with apparent success in 2017. Preliminary tests, yes, were executed with a sample that The experts described as scarce. In this statement, it was highlighted how “it is the first time worldwide that a tool of these characteristics is developed” and that Veripol performed an “automatic analysis of the statements of complainants using natural language processing techniques and automatic learning, with a success rate of 91%, fifteen points higher than that of expert agents.” In the description of its operation the following was pointed out: “For example, it is known that in cases of theft, true statements are presented more details, descriptions and personal information, in the face of the exclusive insistence on the extracted object and the omission of details about the attacker or how the incident of the false happened. From this linguistic analysis, Veripol is able to create an effective pattern.” “In just one week, 31 and 49 false theft cases were detected and closed, while between 2008 and 2016 they were 3.33 and 12.14 in Murcia and Malaga, respectively. The effectiveness of the pilot study was 83%.” A doubtful reliability He Complete study of the University of Valencia reflects a debatable functioning of the tool. They indicate how Veripol designers claimed that false complaints in relation to theft are “extremely common” and the crime is “generally carried out by citizens who have no criminal record.” They have no clear figures, but even unable to estimate the real figure of false complaints “they suggest that it could be around 57%”, a figure that It rests interestingly in non -solving cases. In Damn.es They carried out in 2020 an analysis of the evolution of the use of veripol and indicated how “the fact that the total registered crimes remains constant as the veripol use figures decrease, can be an indicative that the algorithm It is not used so much among the police officers. “For some agents, they pointed out,” the program is not very precise “, and that although in theory it could work well, its application in police stations was complex because training was needed to do so. Algorithmwatch, a non -governmental and non -profit agency based in Berlin and Zurich, often performs algorithms analysis and AI systems to try to evaluate their reliability and validity. In October 2020 They evaluated Veripol’s behavior And his conclusion was already overwhelming: “It is not clear if it works as it is intended”. They also explained that lies detectors – which is in essence what Veripol is – have a long trajectory of bad operations. In this concrete algorithm, he worried for example how some specific words had too much weight in the decision. One of the agents interviewed at that time indicated how it was enough that the word “knife” was in the report to be considered true. We are therefore before a technological tool, in this case theoretically supported by AI, which raised doubts from the beginning for transparency about its true functioning and development, and that it began to be used without preliminary evidence being completely conclusive by the size of the samples. In recent times We have seen for example how the Ábalos ‘case’ served to demonstrate that There are many risks here and that it is necessary to evaluate well the application of algorithms before applying them in public bodies of … Read more

Samsung crosses one of the most difficult stages in its history. His problem is that he is not able to keep up with TSMC and SK Hynix

by

Samsung is dealing with a complicated stage. These statements carried out just a few hours ago by Han Jong-Hee, general co-director of this South Korean company, diagnoses precisely What’s happening: “First of all I sin artificial intelligence (AI), which quickly evolves. “ This Mea guilt It is aimed at the company’s shareholders and expresses that the directive dome recognizes not having taken The appropriate decisions In recent years. “Our technological advantage has been compromised in all our businesses. It is difficult status quo Instead of generating disruptive changes, “says an internal statement written by Jay Y. Lee, the president of the company, according to Reuters. Loss of competitiveness is a big problem for Samsung Han Jong-Hee’s statements insinuate clearly that Samsung has not been able to get on the AI ​​train that currently leads the Taiwanese TSMC semiconductor manufacturer with hardly any opposition. This last company produces the integrated circuits for AI designed by NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom and other companies, which has led it to lead the global chip manufacturing industry with an approximate quota of 60%. TSMC’s economic performance is perceptibly better than Samsung’s The company led by CC Wei He announced In the middle of last January their economic results during 2024, and are extraordinary. In fact, their income beat a record by increasing 34% compared to those obtained in 2023. Only during December 2024 the 8,400 million dollars exceeded, a figure that represents an increase of 57.8% compared to the same month of the previous year. The engine of these figures are precisely the semiconductors for AI applications. TSMC’s economic performance, as we have just seen, is noticeably better than Samsung’s. However, this is not all. And is that The also South Korean Sk Hynix Threatens Samsung’s leadership in the memory chip market. In fact, it has already exceeded the benefits of this last company thanks to the excellent reception that its HBM memories are having (High Bandwidth Memory), which are designed to work side by side with the GPUs for ia. In this situation the hope of Samsung to return to the path of growth resides in 2 nm chips. And the first green sprouts They have already arrived. The Japanese chips designer for the preferred networks (PFN) and a South Korean company specialized in the design of neuronal processing units (NPU) have already formalized orders for their lithographic node of 2 nm. In fact, Digitimes Asia ensures that the massive production of integrated circuits of 2 nm It has already begun in South Korean plants of Samsung. Whatever one thing we can be safe: 2025 will be the year of the semiconductors of 2 nm. TSMC starts from a very comfortable position, but with all probability Intel and Samsung will also put all the meat on the grill.

Chance or not, Tesla has collapsed in the stock market at the same time that its great rival has shot: byd

by

Like a rocker. Like the communicating vessels that claim to be Barça and Madrid. As, the most Chinese, concept of Ying and Yang. Or as the most Spanish, said of “the two sides of the same currency.” Byd and Tesla seem to be in completely opposite points. Just when one seems to have Detwered And it does not stop presenting new solutions for its vehicles the other seems to be completely stagnant in the launch of new proposals. When one has taken off the other one in a clear setback. We do not know what will last but what is clear is that, at the moment, photography for Byd and Tesla cannot be more different. Two completely different scenarios It is enough to review the last six months of Byd and Tesla to verify that the situation cannot be more different for both companies. From Tesla’s point of view, if we look back half a year we find that the company was about to enter a roller emission mountain. In October 2024 Tesla presented what he aspired to be a blow on the table. Your promise: a robotaxi without pedals or steering wheel which should be sold from 2026 for 30,000 euros. Although doubts emerged at first given Cruise and Waymo’s performance In the autonomous driving market and the mountain of money burned along the way, Donald Trump’s choice shortly after An unexpected impulse To the company. Despite contraintuitive, choosing a president who seemed contrary to the electric car was A good way to keep Tesla at the top… from the United States. Because The actions shot But the data has ended up clicking the bubble. First with the confirmation that Tesla He could not sell more cars in 2024 than the previous year. Second because 2025 has started horrificly For Elon Musk’s company. And, third, because the falls are more pronounced in the countries that buy the most electric, such as China and Germany. To all of the above you have to add a reputational crisis of the company as a consequence of Elon Musk’s political decisions. The real impact is not very clear in their drop in stock market but that social networks have been filled with people denying the company or attacked vehicles and concessionaires Because of the decisions of his CEO they do not seem to help at all. If we look Stock performance Six months, the company seems to have been stagnant above the border of the 200 dollars/action. Its value remains very high and a setback of less than 4% does not seem too much but the growth and subsequent adjustment have been so accused that they do not invite to be optimistic either. On the contrary, the performance of byd Six months seen is very different. His actions have grown 55% and in the last year they have shot above 80%. And in recent months the wind blows in favor of the Chinese company. It ended 2024 with the aim of reaching Tesla as the company that sold the most electric cars. He did not get it for little But the smile was not frozen for a long time. The company managed to place itself as The fifth manufacturer who sold more cars In all 2024. a figure in which only plug and electrical hybrid vehicles are contemplated or, as they are called in China, new energy. Unlike others rivals like Saic Or the Geely group, all byd cars take advantage of electricity so they have it more complicated in markets such as Spanish where cheaper and pure combustion cars triumph. However, the prospects for 2025 invite you to be optimistic. The company has sold almost double in the first two months of the year as in the same period of 2023. It is determined to find soil for new factories. In America I intended Install in Mexico But he will have to deal with the restrictions of his own country. In Europe they are already clear that This same year They will decide where they will raise their third floor on our continent (If we count the Turkish as the second of its expansionist plans in Europe). And in China they do not stop launching products to each more striking. If the Chinese electric car market were the Barcelona Club football we could say that they are month than a car. To continue attracting customers, for example, a platform for launch and record you driving. Beyond this curiosity, the real announcement was the confirmation that they will give away their Eye of God In all its vehicles. This is a missile in Tesla’s flotation line. Elon Musk’s company intends that its functions of driving or Autonomous driving (in the future) Be a more source of income. Byd they argue that they are a purchase value in itself and prefers to give them them thinking that the business can be make profitable with other services To enjoy when your eye of God is active. To the latter you have to add your new platform. The Super E-Platform is already ready to ride in its two larger cars and price. The incentive in this case will be his very quick loading times. Next to this platform, the company presented new recharge stations. The combination of both products should be able to load electric cars with peaks up to 1,000 kW. That is, the power that had so far been thought to recharge electric trucks. With such a charge power, Byd says that 400 kilometers of autonomy can be recharged in five minutes. The recharge time would be matching the time we spent pouring gasoline. This last announcement has served the company to receive a tremendous push in the stock market. In what we have been, their shares have risen almost 13% and strengthens the sustained growth of the last year until its historical maximum. It remains to be seen if Tesla manages to recover and get out of the stumbling block in which … Read more

Filipino rice wine hid a superfood. In the waste we discarded, specifically

by

It is often said that one can be a treasure for another. We have found a new example of this phenomenon, in the Philippines. The country responsible for golden ricea transgenic version of the food devised to replace the vitamin A deficiency, now brings us another product related to this cereal, a “loaded” product of nutrients. And this time with a more “artisanal” process. By -product, but food. A group of researchers has discovered that a material discarded in the Fermentation of the Tapuy, a traditional rice wine of the Philippines, are loaded with antioxidants. The compounds found in the You readwhich is what this residue is called, they were studied in the laboratory resulting in a rejuvenation of the animal models used in the study. The Tapuy. The Tapuy is a drink produced in the Philippines, the result of rice fermentation. The process uses, in addition to rice, a fermentation initiator called Bubod. The resulting residue, You readit has been the main object of the investigation, and is mainly composed of the waste of fermented rice, yeasts and other microbes. The study responsible for the study analyzed how various types of crops resulted in different types of You read. Optimizing nutrients. The team thus found a way to optimize the fermentation process, a specific crop that implied some You read Loaded nutrients. The result contained an abundance of polyphenolscompounds with antioxidant capacity that we can also find in products such as The wine or the chocolate. The team tested the different formulas feeding with them the worms of the species Caenorhabditis Elegans. They observed that an initiator of fermentation with high concentrations of the species Rhizopus oryzae, mucor indicus and Saccharomyces cerevisiaeIt was associated with an important increase in the life expectancy of these animals. They also observed that the worms fed with this residue produced more viable eggs. The details of the research were published in an article in the magazine Discover Food . Of animal to humans. There is still an important step to give, and it is to study how these results can translate into benefits in humans. The worms of the speciesC. ElegansThey are often used in medicine as animal models by some key characteristics such as transparency allows us to see more clearly the biological and biochemical processes in the animal. However, it should always be remembered that what works in animal models does not have to work in humans. Among other reasons because our diet is very varied and the multiple interactions between compounds can dilute their benefits.

This is the assistant who wants to mark a before and after on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram

by

It’s over Depend on tricks to use Goal AI in Spain. The assistant has begun its official deployment in Europe, which means that it will be available on WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger at some point in the coming weeks. We are facing a long -awaited launch in the old continent. Recall that the social media company announced this artificial intelligence tool (AI) at the end of 2023but it was available in certain countries. Goal AI in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger When we talk about goal AI, we refer to an artificial intelligence chatbot similar to Chatgpt, Gemini either Claude. Like these we find a Language model Under the hood (Call 3.2) that he will try to answer almost all the questions we ask him. But it is a product that has at least two substantial differences with respect to its competition: it does not have a dedicated application and does not have an alternative payment. That is, it is integrated for free in WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger. You will notice the arrival of Meta AI when you see A new blue circle icon in the applications mentioned. Using it is as easy as touching it and starting to talk with him in an independent chat window, as you would with any friend, family or colleague. You will also have the possibility of “invoking” goal AI in group chats. This can be particularly useful when you need to solve a question or you are planning a group activity. It will be enough to write @Metaai for the wizard to appear on stage. Possibly you ask yourself if the privacy of the group participants will be affected if someone invokes goal AI. The answer is found in A privacy document of the company, which says that the AI Just read the messages that invoke “@Meta Ai”. In other words, the goal assistant is not one more member of the group, but a functionality of AI that can be invoked at any time. So, according to official information, this tool does not access other messages in the chat. What can be done with goal AI Ok, now goal AI is integrated into some of the most popular applications in the world. The big question is: What can we do with him? The answer is that the possibilities are broad, but here are some interesting ideas to make it up. Write clearest and effective messages If you want a message to sound more professional, more informal or simply better structured, goal Ai can do it for you. “Make this message more professional:” Remember that we have a meeting tomorrow at 10 “. You can also ask you to adapt the text to different records or countries. “Give me an informal version of this Spanish message from Argentina.” Summarizes long texts and highlights the important If you do not have time to read a complete article, goal AI can extract the main ideas. “Tell me the five key points of this report:” Of course, it is always advisable to verify the information before taking it as definitive. The AI ​​models, as recognized by the CEO of Nvidiathey still hallucinate and are inaccurate. Make calculations without complicating you From dividing an account to solving more complex calculations, goal AI does so in seconds. “We have spent 185 euros at a dinner. Add 12% tip and divide the total among four people.” Translate and adapt texts in seconds Goal AI can translate phrases and explain them in context. “Translate” 七転び八起き “to Spanish and explain its meaning in detail.” If you want a more natural or detailed version, you can ask for different options. Answer questions about any topic Like chatgpt or gemini, goal AI can answer doubts about history, science, technology and more. Here, once again, it is advisable to verify your answers. Use it directly at conversations As we point out above, goal AI is integrated in WhatsApp, so you can invoke it in any chat with @Metaai. “We are organizing a trip to Los Angeles, @Metaai, can you give us a three -day itinerary?” The assistant also incorporates functions such as Ai Studio to create generative images and edit photographs, in addition to customization and memory tools. For now, these are only available in the US, but they are expected to arrive in Europe later. Why has the target deployment to the EU taken so long? If we have accounts, it has been a long time since Mark Zuckerberg presented a goal AI. It was in him September Connectwhich means that it has elapsed One year and six months. AI in the old continent seems to advance at two speeds. Meta recognizes that the process has taken longer than expected due to the challenges of navigating in the complex European regulatory system. Even so, as we mentioned, the company expects to continue expanding its services in the future. Images | Goal | Xataka In Xataka | Figure creates a system to make large -scale humanoid robots.

Spain opened its lines to Ouigo. France is now doing everything possible to avoid the entry of Renfe

by

It seemed inconceivable but we had been living with it for almost four years. Yes, Renfe trains circulate on the Spanish railways. The Order arrived from Europe and Spain complied with a guideline that has opened the door to Ouigo and Iro. A door that, for Renfe, seems to be stuck in France. What happened for Renfe to be studying his departure from the neighboring country? A liberalization. It arrived in 2021. First Renfe had to face the competition with Ouigo. Shortly after it was Iro. And when we wanted to realize, in the Spanish roads these three companies are competing in high speed by some clients that, if we add Avlo, have four options on top of the table. Liberalization came ordered from the European Union. From Brussels it was voted in favor of opening the railroads and that any company could operate on the roads of the entire continent. A liberalization that has its peculiarities because the demands in terms of security and approval to meet the protocols follow in the hands of the authorities of each country. You don’t pass here. The latter is especially important and we have seen it in Spain. For example, When Ouigo wanted to get to Andalusia has had to adapt its trains to the protocols of the LZB systemsince they do not resemble those of the rest of the continent. When the Madrid-Seville line was created for the 1992 Expo, it was decided to use said system that would later fall into disuse and failed to impose itself on Erts that we see in the rest of Europe. These types of regulations, in addition to the payment of a fee for the maintenance of the roads and other services to ADIF are those that have put on a war footing to Ouigo and the Government. The first when pointing out that Adif charges excessive rates for the service they offer. The second because they ensure that Ouigo throws prices Below the market. What do we have? High speed with four operators and the lowest prices than ever. Where The competition has been greaterprices have dropped. They have not dropped where the demand is very high (such as the Madrid-Barcelona corridor) but in lines where you have to fight more to catch customers as in the Andalusian runners or in Madrid-Aliante where the supply was not extended until 2023. In your latest reportthe CNMC pointed out that the volume of passengers has not stopped increasing. Where new options have been opened have generated a greater number of journeys and a price drop until reaching more than 10 million passengers in the third quarter of 2024. A conflict. In this context Renfe has proposed to open new lines in France. Taking advantage of liberalization, the Spanish company has wanted make Ouigo competition In his own home. The movement began with controversy, with Renfe selling Nine euros tickets. In Spain, Ouigo defended himself saying that they were in a launch phase and that they expect be profitable this year. The promise is about to be fulfilled while SNCF, owner of Ouigo, has already put its conditions to enter to compete in the market of Cercanías y Medio Distancethe other great liberalization that we have ahead. The fight for the really interesting. Ouigo in Spain is competing in the big runners for lament of Óscar PuenteMinister of Transport, which indicated that these companies can focus on profitability While Renfe also has to Fulfill your public service position. Ouigo does compete in Madrid-Barcelona, ​​Madrid-Sevilla or Madrid-Aliante, for example. And in those same conditions he wants to play Renfe in France. At the moment, the company operates in the Lyon-Barcelona and Lyon-Marsella runners but the great yearning is still to reach Paris. The capital is especially juicy because most of the great French lines leave from there and could join Madrid and Paris in a single corridor. And here is the great conflict. You don’t pass here (2). Renfe a The avant -garde that France is doing everything possible to torpedo the expansion of the company on its way to Paris. The first intention was to reach Paris before the Olympic Games last summer but it was not possible. And the technical approval still does not get what he is doing to the company to rethink if they must move on. They explain that the problem is in the technical approval of trains. The approval of them usually takes about six months of work but at this time they are already going for three years. Coincidentally, the approval to operate in the Barcelona-Tooulouse corridor as of April 2025 is ready. Renfe is, for the moment, notice in the southern and southeast zone of France. And according to the company, the project does not paint well. To the point of Paloma Baena, general director of Renfe Operadora Global Strategy, demanded in the French Senate A few weeks ago equal conditions in the deal and pointed out that they did not expect to function normally until 2029 if everything followed. The excuse. What they say from France is that the trains that Renfe has presented to operate in the lines that have Paris as origin or destination are incompatible with the technology of their tracks. First tried with trains 100F series of ALSTOM which are those operating in the south of the country. After rejection, he has tried with the Talgo 106 Series with which Renfe operates in Spain. And, in addition, François Durovray, already former Minister of Transportation in France, also pointed out that he wanted to force companies to enter the country Operate in deficit lines. Exactly the type of runners where Ouigo does not operate in Spain and what Oscar Puente Moles ago lamented. Photo | Xataka In Xataka | Renfe trusted Talgo’s trains to overcome Ouigo and Iro.

a nuclear missile and a survival manual for the nation

by

Germany was the first nation in Europe that seemed to have gotten to work with the “rearme.” That several car factories, for decades the engine of their economy, were becoming Military Armament Factoriesleft little doubt about it. In fact, the budget they have announced allocate in defense It is historical. Now it has touched France, who does not seem to go with mediacias. Multiply nuclear deterrence. Paris has announced the creation of a Fourth Nuclear Air Base In Luxeuil, to the east of the country, as part of an ambitious plan to strengthen its independent dissuasion capacity of the United States in the framework of NATO. This base, which at the time was at risk of closing, will house two squadrons of Rafale f5 fighters equipped with ASN4G hypersonic missilesan investment of 1.5 billion euros which marks a significant expansion of its nuclear arsenal. The decision responds to a tense geopolitical context, in which The war in Ukraine and uncertainty about American commitment to European defense They have led Paris to assume a more leading paper in the safety of the continent. An autonomous strategy within NATO. Currently, the French Air Force operates three nuclear bases in Saint-Dizier, Istres and Avord, which house approximately 50 Rafale B fighters armed with ASMP-A nuclear missiles and supported by Airbus A330 MRTT Phénix. The incorporation of 40 additional rafale f5 In Luxeuil it implies a substantial increase in France’s nuclear capacity, which could translate into a Increase in the total number of eyelets operational In addition to being compatible with the new ASN4G missiles, the Rafale F5 will be equipped to Operate in conjunction with drones Combat, an innovation that reinforces the French strategy strategy and greater stealth. These fighters, designed to remain in service until 2060, will consolidate the French air nuclear capacity, keeping it at the technological avant -garde against emerging threats. Pressure on Germany. The announcement of the nuclear expansion coincided with the Macron visit to Germanywhere he met with European leaders, while in parallel Trump and Putin maintained bilateral conversations. A context that suggests that France seeks not only to strengthen its own nuclear deterrencebut also to press Germany and other NATO members to increase Your investment in defense. Berlin, as we said at the beginning, is in the process of Eliminate restrictions Constitutional to military spendingwhich opens the door to that narrower cooperation in nuclear deterrence. In this sense, France has been exploring the possibility of display nuclear weapons in Germanya measure that could materialize if the United States reduces its commitment to European security. Of course, establishing a nuclear base in German territory would raise political and strategic challengesmaking the expansion within France a more viable alternative for the moment. ASN4G missiles. One of the key elements, if not the one that most expansion is the development of ASN4G hypersonic missile (Air-Sol Nucléaire of 4e Génération), which will exceed Mach 5 and will have A scope of more than 1,000 kilometerstwice the reach of the current ASMP-A. In comparison, the ASMP-A reaches Mach 3 with a maximum range of 500 kilometers and is equipped with a 300 kilotons thermonuclear load. Again, this technological advance positions France at the forefront of air nuclear deterrence in Europe, providing it with a faster attack capacity, of greater scope and difficult to intercept. In addition, the incorporation of formed fuel tanks and radar signal reduction systems in Rafale F5 its stealth and capacity will increase of penetration in hostile environments. And a survival manual. In parallel to this “increase” in nuclear deterrence, the French government is preparing the sending of A “Survival Manual” to all homes of the country with instructions on how to act in the face of imminent threats, such as armed conflicts, but also for health crises or natural disasters. This initiative, still pending approval by Prime Minister François Bayrou, seeks to strengthen the resilience of the population and ensure that citizens know how to react in case of emergency. It is expected that the document, of 20 pages, be distributed before summer and serves as a preparation guide against increasingly plausible crisis scenarios in the current context. Content of the manual. We had seen it before in Nations like Germany. In this case, the manual will be divided into three key sectionsproviding citizens with detailed information on self -protection and community protection measures, including the importance of having a family emergency plan. Also on actions to be taken before an imminent threat, such as maintaining closed doors and windows in case of nuclear attack, as well as a list of emergency numbers and essential radio frequencies. Finally, the content adds options to contribute to civil defenseencouraging registration in reserve units, volunteer firefighters and other crisis response groups. Plus: The document will recommend to citizens prepare a “survival kit”, which must include six liters of water, at least a dozen food cans, batteries, flashlight and basic medical supplies (such as paracetamol, gauze and saline solution). An uncertain future. Both the manual and the rearme are still a symbol of the New France position Faced with global challenges. With a Europe more and more vulnerable to conflicts, energy crisis and natural disasters, Macron seems to bet on a more prepared and resilient society, while reinforcing the military capacity of the country. In addition, with the decision to strengthen its nuclear capacity through the Luxeuil Base, the Nation sends a clear message: it is willing to assume strategic leadership in European defense, adapting to an increasingly unstable global environment. That distant plan that in 1959 Charles de Gaulle devised In the middle of the cold war again sounds strongly.
