It is the spatial power that less invests in defense

by

Every time we look at the GPS of the car, we consult the time or pay by card, the navigation, observation or time synchronization satellites make it Everything works without us noticing. But hundreds of kilometers on our heads, a silent war makes its way. One that, to end up exploding, could erase what we take for granted. The Ukraine War changed everything. He demonstrated, without a doubt, that satellites are not only scientific or commercial tools, but first -order military assets. From the tracking of the troops to the safe and resilient communicationsthe conflict “consecrated space as an operational domain of full right”, In the words of Vincent ChusseauHead of the French Space Command. At the same time, the Russian Invasion of Ukraine put on the table the advances in countermeasures to neutralize or interfere with enemy satellite signalsas well as the Fragility of a nation that does not have sovereign access to space. The space has been militarized. It is a documented reality. Reports like him Space Threat Assessment 2025 of the CSIS or the GLOBAL COUNTSPACE CAPABILITIES From the Secure World Foundation they draw a disturbing panorama: United States, China, Russia, Iran, Israel and other powers They have actively developed an entire anti-satellite capabilities. These technologies range from missiles launched from land to satellites capable of attacking others, going through high -power lasers to fry the electronic components in orbit. Advances are added to electronic warfare that we have also seen in Ukraine in the form of usual cyber attacks or interferences. Europe is staying behind. There are more than 200 anti-satellite weapons in space. For Europe it is a problem. While the United States and China treat space as a pillar of your national securityallocating 50% of public spending on defense space, Europe barely allocates 15%, Josef Aschbacher warnsdirector of the European Space Agency. The remaining 85% is dedicated to civil purposes, which raises a review of strategic priorities. While one of Aschbacher’s papers is to get more financing from the Member States, divergence attracts attention to the times. The European quota in global spatial financing is increasingly lower: only 10% in 2024, compared to 60% of the United States. Not only because other powers have joined the game, such as China and India, but because the EU invests only 0.07% of its GDP in space activities. The participation of Europe is less and less in a sector that expects to triple its value from here to 2035. At risk of losing autonomy. Europe has been moving chips so as not to depend on foreign powers for its own safety and the operation of essential services that depend on space, such as investment in the incipient sector of European microlanzores or the creation of Iris2 as a sovereign alternative to Starlink. But geopolitical instability and growing threats could force it to make more forceful decisions. European defense companies that are already expanding to the space sector do so without a common vision. The solution proposed by Aschbacher is a significant increase in the ESA budget, that could leave the European Rearme Plan. And another more pragmatic route: bet on dual -use space systems: Develop technologies and satellites that can meet both civil needs (science, observation of the earth, the Internet …) and defense (surveillance, safe communications …). Convert the need into opportunity. Image | That, Freepik In Xataka | The US has no doubt: Russia is building a nuclear weapon capable of destroying all satellites in orbit

Spain, at the head in Europe in workers with stress or depression and we have the culprit: work

by

In recent years, Spain has established itself as one of the European countries where they relate more workers Mental health problems with employmentstanding among the five countries With higher stress ratesdepression and anxiety linked to the work context, according to the latest survey OSH click 2025 that elaborates the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). The data places Spain among countries with worse indicators In psychological well -being work related, only surpassed by Greece, Finland, Cyprus and Poland. In Spain, work with too much stress. The survey reveals that 40% of Spanish employees interviewed by the European Agency for Labor Safety and Health, pointed to their job as main reason for stressanxiety or depression. This percentage of stressed employees leaves Spain only behind Greece (49%), Finland (45%), Cyprus and Poland (both with 41%) and well above the European average located at 29%. In addition to stress, employees point out Other symptoms and pathologies which also frequently relate to the workplace. 45% indicate generalized fatigue related to work, 42% report headaches or tired view and 37% identify muscle pains or bones caused by their work activity, figures equally higher than the average recorded by the EU. Companies look the other way. The European report links this increase in work stress to the low implementation of preventive measures by Spanish companies. While 44% of employees in the European Union claim to be exposed to time or Work overloadin Spain this figure amounts to 49%. In addition, Spain is one of the countries where you least consult the templates on psychosocial risks, standing at 34% of employees who affirm that the companies where they work take into account their indications on mental illnesses, compared to 45% of the European average, and far from countries with best practices such as Germany, where 65% of respondents affirm that in their companies they have been consulted. In Spain we are not very psychologist. An important point that highlights the survey is that, in Spain, the culture of Mental health assistance to social level, much less at work level. A good barometer of this is that the psychological advice in the work environment is still very limited in Spain, where only 28% of the people surveyed say they have this resource in their company, compared to 40% on average in the European Union. Finland is headed in this regard, reaching 78% of companies that offer mental health advice and assistance for their employees. This deficit in access to psychological support from the company itself contributes to enching the impact of mental health problems on the templates, as the report points out ‘WHO guidelines on mental health at work ‘ Posted by the World Health Organization (WHO). An obstacle to professional careers. As a consequence of the lack of culture of psychological well -being in Spain that the European report indicated, the belief that reveal a mental health problem It will involve a social and professional stigma that will negatively affect the development of the professional career. However, that feeling, although on different scale, is common to all EU countries. That fear of stigma makes 48% of European employees say that revealing that they suffer a mentally affecting a problem of their professional career. In Spain, this percentage rises to 54%. The study indicates that this fear is especially high among younger employees or those who occupy precarious jobs, still increasing their vulnerability in the labor market. More stress, lower medical. According to the AXA 2025 Mental Health Studythe disabilities related to mental health problems have climbed into among the diseases with greater affectation since 2016 in the Spanish work environment. Taa and as stood out The countryPandemia marked a turning point In temporal disabilities due to psychological and psychiatric problems, with a 72% increase in casualties. This has put on the table the need for Review prevention strategies and support for mental health within companies, an aspect where Spain still shows important deficiencies regarding the European environment.

Renfe is delighted to have competition in Madrid-Galicia. Especially since he knows that he will not have competition

by

The Galician corridor is being the great revelation of high speed in what we have been. Although at the end of 2024 its potential was already suggested, the hug at high speed is being so high that, it has even had its consequences in a lower demand for plane tickets. Now, the government already paves the way for other companies to begin to exploit that market. Market that cannot be exploited. “High potential” Are the words with which the government summarizes the possibility that the Renfe Monopoly in Madrid-Galicia. Until now, only this company is operating in one of the most successful runners in our country. They explain in The voice of Galicia that Adif is finalizing the requirements that will be necessary to meet the operational approval. That is, with the green flag to operate in the Galician corridor that will be carried out through “multiannual framework agreements”, the same process that has allowed Iroyo and Ouigo to operate in the Spanish corridors who have already enabled the competition to Renfe. Second phase. The presentation of this regulatory framework enters into the New phase that opens in liberalization of the Spanish high speed roads. Next to the Galician corridor, the open door will also be left to Renfe find competition in the Asturias/Cantabria corridor (which connect with Madrid and share space with the Galician) and the Huelva/Cádiz. The process, they expect in the Government, will conclude at the end of 2026 and believe that it is of great interest to other companies since between 2019 and 2024, The train has already stolen 24% of passengers to the plane. From then on, the competition should arrive very soon. Ought. Yes, but. The problem for Renfe competitors is that the Galician corridor needs trains that can jump in track width. This is mandatory because between Madrid and Orense, trains use the international track width. But between Orense and Santiago, as well as the rest of the connections, such as Vigo, the Iberian width is used that It has different measures. This particularity forces to use the Talgo S106, those same as They cracked on their way to Barcelona. These trains have been sold as the perfect solution since they can change from one width to another but Talgo and CAF have all their production sold For the next few years. And companies like Ouigo find no one who can give them these particular trains. Solution 1. It is the one raised by the Popular Party that, according to The voice of Galicia, They are pressing the Government to adif the road and take, at least to Santiago, the international width beyond Ourense. This should help make the runner a more attractive place for new competitors. Adif, for the moment, discard this possibility. Solution 2. That in the absence of trains, the new competitors rent the rolling material to Renfe. It is something that It has dropped from ouigo and? It has been totally rejected from Renfe. Right now, this last company has a perfect business in Madrid-Galicia because the road will be liberalized but they have all the trains present already short term that can work in that section. What will happen? It remains to be seen if ouigo or any other competitor chooses to operate, at least, even Ourense. However, the attractiveness of this journey is much less because it stays at the gates of Galicia and does not enter to the heart. Nor is it an attractive option for all tourism attracted along the Camino de Santiago that could see on the train a very valid alternative to the plane to return to the capital. Especially now that Santiago airport has drastically reduced its operations with the Ryanair output.

To build an “artificial sun” we need to be able to move the weight of ten elephants with millimeter precision. This is what China has just done

by

In Chinese mythology, Kuafu was a giant who challenged the gods when trying to catch the sun to give light and heat to their people. Centuries later, China re -pursues that same ambition, but now with avant -garde science: to create a “Artificial sun” that provides clean and unlimited energy. And in that way, the engineers have just presented a new protagonist worthy of legend: a colossal robot. The arm for fusion. The Asian giant has developed a remote manipulation platform for future fusion reactors. It is a system with three robotic arms, whose main manipulator can raise up to 60 tons – the weight of ten African elephants – with a millimeter accuracy, According to South China Morning Post. Meanwhile, the two secondary arms stand out for even more extreme precision: ± 0.01 millimeters, which makes it the most advanced remote management system in the field of fusion. Closer to the “artificial sun.” The objective of this whole project is to achieve stable nuclear fusion, that almost inexhaustible energy that mimics the process that occurs in the sun’s core. In fact, China has been breaking records for years in its East experimental reactor, which this year has achieved Maintain a confined plasma for 1,066 seconds, a world record that exceeds 403 seconds Realized in 2023. But for this energy to become commercial, it is necessary to resolve a major challenge: maintenance. The internal components of a reactor, such as coating or the diving, are constantly damaged by heat, radiation and magnetic fields. And this is where this new robot comes into play: no human being could work in these extreme conditions. The in -depth project. The robot is part of the craft (Comprehensive Research Facity for Fusion Technology), an installation in Hefei, Anhui, nicknamed “Kuafu” in honor of the mythical giant. More than 300 scientists and engineers participate in this project, According to SCMPunder the supervision of the Institute of Plasma Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “We have developed a machine capable of meeting extremely demanding requirements by overcoming obstacles in materials, sensors and control,” explained Pan HongtaoInstitute researcher. The idea is to use craft as a test bank to develop and validate key fusion technologies, including those that will be applied in the future Chinese experimental fusion reactor (CFETR) and in the International Iter project In France. Ready to go into action? For now, we are not talking about an operational robot in a reactor, but of an experimental platform. According to China Dailythe system has already exceeded the evaluation of experts and will serve as an engineering verification platform to ensure that, when reactors enter into operation, remote maintenance is safe and precise. Craft, where it is housed, plans to be completed in the late 2025. Beyond fusion. Although the immediate objective is to maintain fusion reactors, technology is not limited to that field. According to CGTNthe advances achieved in this robot could also be applied in inspection of nuclear plants, aerospace industry, operations with heavy machinery or even emergency rescues. A global career for the artificial sun. The Kuafu robot does not arise in a vacuum. Other countries also develop remote maintenance systems, although with much lower capabilities. The most advanced arm of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan) supports only 2 tons. In contrast, the Chinese robot can manipulate 30 times higher loads. At the international level, the Iter project in France – in which 35 countries participate – will have a system Able to handle up to 45 tons. The new Chinese system already exceeds it in load capacity, although both remain development platforms rather than operating systems. The road map is clear but slow: Chinese experts They calculate that they are still 30 to 50 years to see commercial fusion reactors. And the European Union, with its Eurofusion projectdoes not expect to start testing with plasma until the end of this year. Forecasts The Chinese commitment to nuclear fusion advances with firm steps. The development of a robot capable of lifting 60 tons with surgical precision is not a simple engineering achievement: it is an essential piece for someday fusion reactors to maintain and function stable. Humanity He has been trying to replicate the energy of the sun on earth. With advances like this, China shows that it is determined to be the protagonist in that race. Decades may be missing to see fusion plants in operation, but every step we bring us a little more to that utopia to capture the sun.

a domestic ecosystem that you cannot escape

We are in Munich to attend the presentation of Xiaomi. There are spotlights illuminating Xiaomi 15t Pro And at the entrance of the auditorium it is the pair of Su7 ultra Those who wear all eyes. But something catches my attention: At the door there is a huge Trojan horsewhich leads these lines. Remember this data. In the presentation, the brand shouts its specifications: Collaboration with Leica. Periscopic telephoto. 3,200 brightness nits. “Interesting, but secondary,” I think. The biggest announcement that Xiaomi is doing here is not measured in pixels or focal lengths, but in The cubic meters of conquered domestic space. Xiaomi has just entered the European appliance market. Neveras, washing machines, air conditioners. Far beyond air fryers and whippers. It is part of the great jump that the company is making. Those who a decade ago sold regulators at 150 euros and competed in price, five months ago They left me speechless with their ultra Exposed in Shanghai, competing from you to you with Porsche. And now you are executing a maneuver that reminds a lot of Huawei’s story After US sanctions: The construction of a self -sufficient and vertically integrated technological universe. Huawei responded to need: sanctions forced him to create Harmonyos and its own ecosystem. Xiaomi acts, rather, from what we could call an “calculated ambition”. We have been seeing this slide in their presentations for years, with a somewhat oversized pride: The photo is from the Munich event and the 15T, but this same mantra we have been watching it for a long time in all Xiaomi presentations. Image: Xataka. Oversized because ‘Human X Car x Home ‘stayed somewhat lame in the last two areas. In 2024 they solved the second and now they just solved the third. They just announced a fridge, the Mijia Refrigerator Cross Door 502L. In addition to a fridge, it is a 502 -liter data terminal installed in the kitchen. A space that was previously foreign to the brand. It is important because Xiaomi is well understanding human behavior and technological inertia: When you install an Xiaomi fridge that communicates perfectly with your washing machine, which in turn is synchronized with Your vacuum robot And with your TV, you have crossed a psychological and economic threshold that it is difficult to return. The cost of that change – Substack is crowded with Reflections on the famous’Switching Cost ‘– It is not calculated by the price of the new mobile, but in the complete disintegration of your domestic ecosystem. What Apple is doing with devices, wearables and services, but applied to ‘HUMAN X CAR X HOMand‘. With the car we saw something similar, and with the glasses, too. As with the best ecosystems, CAda device is a node that reinforces general architecture. The smartphone (now that 15t pro that monopolizes holders) is only the epicenter, but intelligence is distributed throughout the rest of the house. The one that captures and processes the flow of data that emanates from everyday life. Each interaction with the fridge, each washing cycle, each thermostat adjustment, feeds a system that learns, predicts and at some point will anticipate needs. The comparison with Huawei is inevitable. Both have demonstrated transformation capabilities. Huawei building its strength in response to an external siege. Xiaomi, executing its planned territorial expansion. His entry into Europe with this range of “Aiot appliances” shows an ambition that goes beyond the market share: they want to change the nature of the connected home. Image: Xataka. Europe has a fragmented appliance market. It is dominated by centennial marks like Bosch and Siemens, there are local phenomena like Balay, the arrival of Hisense has noticed and Samsung pushes, with more insistence than Tino, focusing on technology. Unique opportunity, especially if The European consumer, traditionally conservative choosing large appliances, begins to value more connectivity and energy efficiency (Xiaomi proudly exhibits the A +++ certificates in their air conditioners) above the brand tradition. If someone believes that the European consumer clings to their trusted brands, and more if they are local, you just have to remind you What happened to BQ in 2018: He clung to that idea as an argument against the arrival of Xiaomi and that was one of his last decisions before he died. In addition, Xiaomi’s great danger comes from its execution speed. In three years they went from having no automotive division to produce the SU7a vehicle that not only competes but in many aspects surpasses the giants of the sector. Now, that same speed is applied to the home. The vacuum robot with 20,000 pa for suction. The washer with AI that adjusts the cycles according to the type of tissue. The refrigerator with customizable temperature areas. Everything points to a future where the distinction between intelligent device and traditional appliance simply disappears. But there is a more disturbing dimension in this conquest: the concentration of technological power in the hands of a few companies – mainly Chinese and American— Ask questions about privacy, digital sovereignty and technological dependence. When your fridge, your washing machine, your car and your phone respond to the same company, you have given a level of control over your daily life that would have been unthinkable makes a generation. The data that flow from these devices are information, are power. AND In that technological crossroads is Europto. Without its own technological giants capable of competing in this new scenario of total integration, you must choose between American ecosystems (Google, Apple, Amazon …) and the Chinese (Xiaomi, Huawei … and soon perhaps Byd with their own home automation ambitions). Each choice implies more than a preference for consumption, it is an implicit geopolitical alignment. Today’s technology is much more complex than ten years ago. That is why this presentation in Munich will be something that I will remember within a few years. It is not so much the launch of new products, as any other presentation, but The turning point in the way Chinese technology continues to … Read more

The Spanish rail giant had planned to build a lightwail between Jerusalem and the West Bank. Now has a problem

by

The Basque CAF It is found In the international view for its participation in the Jerusalem Railway Project, which connects Israeli settlements considered illegal by the United Nations. The pressure on the company has intensified after appearing cited in An official report of the UN on companies that benefit from the occupation. A dispute project. CAF has been part of a consortium with the Israeli Shapir since 2019 to build and expand the red and green lines of the Light Jerusalem Rail. The project, valued at 1.8 billion euros, includes 27 kilometers of new roads and 50 stations that connect settlements in the West Jerusalem. The Basque company would take more than 500 million euros for construction and equipment, in addition to its participation in management for 15 to 25 years. Why is it problematic. The UN Special Rapporteur, Francesca Albanese, has included to CAF in its report “of the economy of occupation to the economy of the genocide”, presented before the Human Rights Council. According to the document, these infrastructure “contribute to the maintenance and consolidation of illegal settlements” and connect the colonies with Israel “while excluding and segregating the Palestinians.” The Human Rights Council itself declared the project illegal in 2016 and 2017. The pressure intensifies. Amnesty International has been asking CA for years to leave the project. “CAF cannot continue looking the other way and not meet international recommendations,” affirms Esteban Beltrán, director of the NGO in Spain. The organization also claims the Spanish government and the Basque Government, a shareholder of the company, to evaluate the CAF links with “the illegal behavior of Israel.” Others are retiring. The case It is not isolated. In 2024, the Catalan Comsa withdrew from the consortium that had won the construction of the blue line of the Jerusalem tram. The Basque Acerera Sidenor also announced that it will stop serving steel to Israeli companies. International funds such as the Norwegian sovereign have retired their participations from Shapir, a partner of CAF, and the manager Storeband excluded CAF from his portfolio for his participation in the project. CAF’s response. The company maintains in its sustainability reports that “no violation of human rights has been detected” derived from their participation and describes the territories as “object of political controversy.” However, for international organizations, CAF is obviating the resolutions of the UN Security Council, the European Union and the International Court of Justice on the illegality of settlements. Between the lines. The project places CAF at a crossroads between commercial interests and international pressure. Your shareholders include to the Basque Government, Kutxabank, the Matrix of the Mayoral Textile and the workers themselves with 25% of the shares. Meanwhile, the geopolitical context has hardened after the attacks of October 7 and the Israeli response in Gaza, increasing international scrutiny over any company linked to occupied territories.

NASA is so obsessed with defeating China that, instead of delaying its next flight to the moon, it has advanced it

by

It seemed like him Artemis program It was intended to be delayed again and again, but NASA’s last movement betrays the enormous geopolitical pressure of the moment. Artemis II, the mission with which the United States will return to lunar orbit for the first time in more than 50 years, is no longer scheduled for April 2026. They have advanced the launch window to February 5. A declaration of intentions. This two -month advance is not a simple recalibration of the calendar of the Artemis missions. It is the NASA’s evening response to the feeling that the United States is staying behind the Methodical Lunar Program of China. NASA recognizes that “there is a desire that we are the first to return to the surface of the moon,” and Artemis II is a first step. The mission without a launic had been postponed from 2024 to 2025, and then to “not before April 2026”. Now the launch window opens two months before: on February 5, 2026, leaving as a deadline “not later April 2026”. Solving the ghosts of Artemis I. To understand why this advance is significant, you have to remember why Artemis II was delayed first. The main cause was the thermal shield of the Orion ship. After the return of the mission without crew Artemis I in 2022, NASA’s engineers found a disturbing surprise: the Orion shield had lost pieces of protective material. The gases generated by the heat of the reentry did not dissipate as planned, creating an overpressure that started fragments of the shield. After almost two years of research, NASA says having understood and solved the problem with “maximum trust.” Of course, the solution is quite simple: they have modified the trajectory of the ship in their return to the earth to prevent the high temperatures that caused the failure. Next to him, NASA has solved other minor failures such as liquid hydrogen leaks that plagued the launch attempts of Artemis I. The second space race. “The administration has asked us to recognize being in what is commonly called a second space race,” said the buliesha Hawkins, NASA’s attached administrator. His current boss, Sean Duffy, agency administrator and Trump’s Secretary of Transportation, has a more direct rhetoric: “We are going to win the Chinese on the moon.” The fear in Washington is that China, which plans to send its first astronauts to the lunar surface in 2030, the American Mission Artemis III is ahead. While the Artemis program accumulated delays (largely due to the slowness of the Spacex Starship ship, necessary for the Aunidation of Artemis III), the Chinese program advanced with a firm step and without making a lot of noise. Experts in China’s spatial capacities such as Dean Cheng have come to affirm which is “quite likely that the Chinese terrify on the moon before NASA.” Advance Artemis II (the previous step without alansimiza) is the form that NASA has to demonstrate that it is still in the game. What is Artemis II. Its main objective is to certify that the Orion ship and the SLS rocket can take humans to the moon safely. For ten days, American astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch, as well as Canadian Jeremy Hansenthey will go around the moon without landing, following a free return trajectory that will bring them back to the earth. The mission also has an important symbolic burden. They will be the first humans in more than 50 years to leave the orbit low terrestrial, traveling further than any other human being in history, more than 9,000 kilometers from the hidden face of the moon. From this unique perspective, They will carry out crucial geological observationsphotographing craters and old lava flows. They could even be the first humans to see with their own eyes the eastern basin, a gigantic structure on the boundary between the visible face and the hidden face of the moon. Their descriptions and data will be vital for the alunage of Artemis III. The great irony. The advance of Artemis II is a calculated movement. NASA shows the world that it has overcome its technical problems and is ready to accelerate. Artemis II is not just a step towards the moon, it is a sprint in a geopolitical career and for the control of lunar resources. The great contradiction is that, while NASA accelerates the overflight of Artemis II, its star mission, the alun of Artemis III planned for 2027, remains in serious trouble. Just a few days ago, the agency’s security advisors panel launched a blunt warning: They doubt that the modified version of the Spacex Starship is ready on time. His estimate is that he could accumulate a “year” delay. Therefore, the result of this space race is still open.

United Kingdom will be just the first client. Spain raises a colossus in Galicia to build war ships like churros

by

While Spain does not count With f-35 fighterssoon he will do it with what will be a source of pride for the nation: The Bonifaz frigatefirst of the F110 class, whose launch took place in the navantia shipyards in Ferrol. In fact, Navantia has received a commission that will place her in the world showcase as a reference construction: United Kingdom has asked her to do her Your next frigate. In the background: a plan to become the elite of the sector. A naval milestone from Spain. Navantia is carrying out in Ferrol the largest investment of the last hundred years in a shipyard in Spain: the creation of the Digital Block Factory (FDB) conceived to place military naval construction in the world technological avant -garde. With a budget of 110 million eurosan area of ​​45,000 square meters, 500 meters in length and 90 wide, the plant will double the productive capacity of the Galician shipyard and mark the final step towards the model of shipyard 4.0where automation, artificial intelligence and robotization will be protagonists. The day. Its inauguration is scheduled for the First quarter of 2026after a construction process that began in March 2024 and has included the creation of a digital twin to monitor in real time the progress of the works, control cost deviations and anticipate failures. Unpublished productive capacity. The new factory will allow Navantia to manufacture in Only one year the blocks equivalent to a air holder such as Juan Carlos Itwo F-18 frigatesfour European corvettes EPCfour maritime action ships (BAM) or up to two combat supply ships (BAC), in addition to logistical support ships such as the FSS that already produces For the Royal Navy. In practical terms, the plant may generate simultaneously The blocks of two frigates, with a production cadence of one section every ten days (about 26 per year), which will reduce construction deadlines by 20-25%. In the case of the F-110, about 85% From the structure of each unit it will be manufactured in the FDB, while the singular blocks (such as the dome of the sonar or the multimission mast) will continue to be built in the traditional workshops. This scheme will simultaneously add the commitments to the Spanish Navy and the eventual Export contractsa strategic aspiration in the current context of International Rearme, where the armed demands to have their ships in the shortest possible time. Automation, AI and Robotics. The factory has been designed under an optimized workflow scheme, divided into three major areas: steels, prearmament and flip. In the first they will be installed Robotized welding lines Equipped with hybrid laser technology, guaranteeing higher structural dimensional precision and robustness. In the prearmament phase, the subblocks will be transferred autonomously by vehicles not manned with IoT sensors, and robots will be integrated for welding, manipulation and palletization that will work collaboratively with the operators. Finally, in the voltage zone, the blocks will be assembled with subcomponents previously manufactured in an automated assembly system that combines speed, flexibility and reliability. The whole process will be supported by a system of Complete digital traceability: Each piece will generate information associated with its digital twin, which will automatically readjust the following phases and detect real -time deviations using smart cameras connected to 3D models. The Innovation and Robotics Center. Navantia digital transformation is not limited to the plant itself. He Innovation and Robotics Center (CIR), directly linked to the factory, acts as technological nucleus where the latest innovations in automation, automatic inspection, advanced welding and dimensional control are tested and validated. The CIR not only develops solutions applicable to immediate production, but also works as Training and Transfer Space of knowledge, ensuring that advances are quickly integrated into productive processes. The ecosystem, reinforced With collaborations With the University of La Coruña and with specialized consultants, it guarantees, a priori, that the Ferrolano shipyard remains on the border of naval innovation. Labor impact. From the company it has been ensured that, despite the high level of automation, the factory will not involve a template reduction. On the contrary, it will maintain a volume of Between 270 and 400 workers In turn, including both direct employees of Navantia and personnel from auxiliary companies. In each turn they will operate Between 300 and 325 peopleconfirming that robotization is raised as a tool for support to human capital and not as a substitute. The combination of specialized manual labor and intelligent systems ensures that flexibility is maintained to meet specific demands of each naval program. Reference at the military plane. Once finished, the FERROL FDB It will not have equivalent in the world of military construction. The only comparable reference is the Alemán Meyer Werft Shipyarddedicated to luxury cruises and has been gradually applying automated systems for fifteen years. Navantia, however, will be the first company to move this industrial logic War shipswhich, according to the company, will allow you to offer a competitive, sustainable and higher quality product in a sector where the speed of delivery is practically a strategic requirement. In addition, the possibility of producing blocks to Other international shipyardsexpanding his role as a key actor in the global naval supply chain. New era in the estuary. If you want also, with this bet, Navantia aims to turn Ferrol into a World Reference Pole For military naval construction, combining tradition and modernity in a project that represents a before and after in Spanish industrial history. As Rafael Morgade underlinedresponsible for the digital transformation of the company, it is an authentic “new era” in which the Galician shipyard will go from a disorderly growth accumulated in a century to a concentrated, efficient and technologically advanced model. In a marked geopolitical context For the rearmethis megafactoría not only reinforces the capacities of the Spanish Navy, but also positions Navantia as a industrial partner in the elite of the international defense market.

Xiaomi has taken advantage of the launch of its Xiaomi 15T and 15T Pro to renew its Catalog of QD-mini LED TVs. If last year we met the TV S Mini LED 2025now the Chinese firm proposes us Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2026a new model that arrives in three sizes and that mounts panels QD-mini LED With more attenuation zones. This, in theory, should translate into a better image quality and representation of the most dark blacks. As expected, Xiaomi continues to bet on the most popular formats, or what is the same, for a base 55 -inch model, an intermediate of 65 inches and another, the largest, 75 inches. The difference is that, the size and, therefore, the attenuation zones. For the rest, the three versions are identical.

That, in a nutshell, means that under the screen there is a backlight system with 408, 532 or 704 LEDs (attenuation zones) that emit light. The more inches, the more attenuation zones. That light passes through a matrix of quantum points that convert light into pure colors, offering more vivid images than in conventional and black LEDs that, without being pure as in the OLED panels, little by little they approach a lot. The same goes for contrast. The panels have 4K resolution, are compatible with Dolby Vision and the main HDR technologies and, as a novelty, They admit up to 144 Hz natively. With the game mode, the refreshment rate increases to 288 Hz artificially. There are not 288 Hz as such, but an interpolation technique so that the image feels more fluid. That is, of course, the theory. Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 2026 | Image: Xiaomi The beak brightness reaches 1,700 Nits and, according to Xiaomi, its televisions are capable of reproducing 94% of the DCI-P3 color space. An interesting aspect and that will have to be tested is the anti -reflex treatment that the company presumes. According to the firm, this panel offers a total reflectivity of 1.8%, so it should behave well if it is exposed to a strong front light. Of the sound a system of two speakers of 15W compatible with Dolby Atmos and refined by Harman. The company explained that, thanks to Xiaomi Sound, the TV adapts the audio profile to the content. As for gaming, it is worth mentioning the HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR compatibility and FREESYNC Premium support.

LA1 has achieved for the first time that all its programs exceed 10% audience. The question is at what price

by

RTVE 1 has first achieved that all its daily programs exceed 10% screen share. An achievement that, however, puts a few questions on the table: is it a sustainable change or a timely surprise? And beyond: Have you done it by lowering its public television category, going down to mud to compete? Will these programs and approaches be maintained once there is a turn in the government? Many questions from a figure of Share Certainly notable and that marks a before and after for the corporation. The figures. That 10% share occurred Last Monday, September 22when an average of 12.5% ​​of Share. That is, only behind Antena 3 and its 13.9% on average. In the morning strip, the ‘morning news’ (20.2%) and ‘The time of 1’ (17.6%) stood out. ‘Mañaneros 360’ maintained a double emission with very solid results (15.5% and 11.1%) and the ‘1’ mediodia news highlighted with 14% of Share. In the afternoon, ‘straight to grain made 10.4% and surpassed its Telecinco and Four competitors. ‘Wild Valley’ (11.4%) and ‘The Promise’ (12.5%) They followed leaders and ‘bad languages’ made its own record with 10.6%. ‘Here the earth’, finally, made 11.7%. The night block, already with mainly non -daily programs, was composed of ‘News 2’ (12.1%), ‘La Revuelta’ (11.7%) and ‘Masterchef Celebrity’ (13.7%). How it has been done. The figures have been achieved with a thorough reorganization of the grill, with four magacins that cover current and politics, and a commitment determined by entertainment and direct formats, and covers from the ‘morning news’ at 6:00 to the end of ‘Masterchef Celebrity’ at dawn, all with two -digit quotas. It is the key to understanding the new strategy of the1: greater weight of informative magazines, competitive entertainment and programming for diverse audiences. Go to mud. Maybe the attempt to recycle the wicker of ‘Save Me’ They will not work in audience, but the intentions were clear: compete directly with private chains. But here we find the first dilemma of this success of the1: the borders between public television and entertainment of private chains are blurred. There are those who denounce a kind of “Telebasura covert“, that is manifested in Commercial formulas as sponsorships, promotions and Product Placementwhat has even gained some sanctions to the entity in programs such as’Great Prix‘or’ Masterchef ‘. Politicians in RTVE. This leads us to the political issue. The current composition of the Board of Directors of RTVE, with majority of counselors related to government blockis being perceived as excessively politicizedwith doubts about the informative plurality and the representativeness of the programming. Many critics see open pro -government affiliation in presenters such as Silvia Intxaurrondo (which has had to defend themselves from abilities to favor the government), Javier Ruiz or Jesús Cintora (the latter in the 2, and both investigated by RTVE itself After vulneration complaints of plurity and rigor) The issue on the table is: Does this new RTVE prioritize profiles and content aligned with the interests of the management, raising the risk of indirect censorship or systematic bias? Something may have to do with the renewed success of the1, but … Do you have continuity? Nothing is forever. This political affiliation is real or perceived (which has also been reflected in decisions as significant as the Eurovision abandonment), What is clear is that it could mean a risk for all these programs when there is a change in political orientation in government. Ruiz himself seems to reflect on it in This interview with El Paíswhere he assumes that he will end out of the entity once there is a turn in the government. There was already talk of it around Broncanowhich has the most media program, but it is understood that the entire grill is marked by a specific orientation, these programs (and audiences) would be in danger. In that case, La1 would have to put on the table if you are more interested in the audience or loyalty to whom the Moncloa occupies. Controversies of a lifetime. For decades, RTVE has been subject to constant political fluctuations that condition its management and programming, making its effective independence difficult. In 2006, the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero promoted an important reform with the Law 17/2006 of the radio and television of state ownershipwhose objective was to independent the corporation of political power to guarantee stability, plurality and autonomy similar to the BBC model. The law conceived RTVE as a corporation with public capital, regulated as a commercial company, with a council appointed by consensus in Parliament with qualified majority and long mandates to avoid political interference. However, this reform has been Historically undermining for political conflicts. Successive governments, especially that of the PP after Zapatero, altered the conditions to resume more direct control, as happened when the qualified majority to appoint the directors and returning the executive greater capacity to influence the direction of RTVE. These recent measures have Formal independence weakened which sought to get and put control again in partisan hands.
