The Government is already debating whether or not to extend fuel aid. If you don’t do it we will pay 15 euros more to fill the tank

by

Next Monday, June 29, the Council of Ministers will debate whether to extend the fuel tax reduction beyond June 30, which was the established deadline. If you don’t do it, filling the tank in the middle of a vacation trip is going to hurt us a lot more than it does now. Fuel aid. In March, the Government approved a package of urgent measures to stop the rise in energy prices caused by the war between the United States and Iran. The most visible for the driver was the reduction in VAT on fuel from 21% to 10%, accompanied by a reduction in the special tax on hydrocarbons. These measures expire on June 30 and the Government has to decide now what to do with them. What is being studied. According to share From ABC, the Ministry of Economy is considering maintaining VAT at 10% for at least three more months, that is, until September. A gradual withdrawal of aid is also being studied to avoid the so-called rocket effectthat is, a sudden increase in prices from one day to the next in the middle of the high travel season. What happens if it is not extended. According to the calculations of the Spanish Confederation of Service Station Employers (CEEES), the elimination of all aid would mean an increase in the price of 29 cents per liter for gasoline and 22 cents for diesel. With current prices (around 1.46 euros per liter for gasoline and 1.53 for diesel) both fuels would rise to 1.74 euros per liter. In this way, filling a 55-liter tank would go from costing around 70 euros to close to 90. And the blow would come right in the middle of the summer operation. The diesel thing is delicate. The Iran crisis has caused a liter of diesel to cost more than gasoline, something quite unusual taking into account the lower taxation of diesel in comparison. Although the price has fallen for four consecutive weeks, it still remains 5% above what it cost before the start of the conflict, according to collect ABC. If the reduction in the special tax on hydrocarbons is withdrawn, diesel has a good chance of once again overcoming the psychological barrier of 2 euros. Why it is not so easy to extend it. The Government cannot extend these measures on its own because it needs the support of Congress. That means negotiating with the investiture parties, including Junts and the PNV, something that already generated tension in March when the first decree was approved. On the other hand, there is also external pressure, since the Bank of Spain pointed out Just a few days ago, Spain has been the country in the European Union that has mobilized the most public resources in response to this crisis (0.25% of GDP), criticizing that 75% of the measures are not focused on the most affected, but are of a general nature, as is precisely the case with the VAT reduction. The European Commission and the Treasury technicians (GESTHA) also have recommended withdrawing these subsidies considering them contrary to the energy transition. What does the transportation sector ask for? The Spanish Confederation of Freight Transport (CETM) already has asked that any extension explicitly includes the transport of goods by road. In a statement, the organization warns that “leaving transportation outside of these measures would mean ignoring the sector on which a good part of the country’s economic activity is based.” In addition, the CETM demands that the commitment to pay 20 cents per liter of fuel promised to the sector be made effective. What does the president say? Pedro Sanchez has advanced that the new decree will be “to protect the productive fabric and also the citizens”, although without specifying the exact scope of the measures. The Government warns that, even with a peace agreement between the United States and Iran, the economic effects of the conflict will continue to pressure prices for weeks or months.

Players celebrate that ‘GTA VI’ will cost 80 euros. It turns out that only the 100 euro ‘special’ is the entire game

by

‘GTA VI‘ is the topic of the week in video games. Of the year, if you hurry me. The Rockstar title is a generational game and today reservations are open to get a digital version or a box that Does not include the game in physical format. That is, precisely, one of the controversies, but not the only one. The other has to do with the price. We have had rumors and leaks for months suggesting that ‘GTA VI’ was going to be the 100 euro game. Nintendo came close with the 90 euros of the ‘Mario Kart World‘, but many eyes were still on that ‘GTA VI’ whose development has been so monumental and expensive that it seemed to justify a considerable increase in price. In the end, it turned out that the game arrives for 80 euros in its standard version. But the twist is that there is a 100 euro version, one called ‘Ultimate’ that doesn’t feel like an ‘Ultimate’ edition: feels like the real ‘GTA VI’. Because this edition is not a collection of skins, as happens in other games: they are content that is unlocked as we progress through the game and are “threaded in all aspects of the story” of its protagonists, according to Rockstar itself. And it ranges from exclusive stores, items for the protagonists, vehicles of all kinds and some missions. The key to the Ultimate edition of ‘GTA VI’ On the website, Rockstar describes this edition as follows: “Welcome to Leonida, the state where anything goes. Get everything this vast world has to offer with Grand Theft Auto VI: Ultimate Edition, an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, fashion and action galore. The Ultimate Edition’s bonus content runs through Jason and Lucia’s story, discovering new items in each chapter.” We are used to the fact that when a game comes out in two editions, we have the full experience in the base edition and then an ‘Ultimate’ or ‘Complete’ edition that includes a code with skins. There may be some other element such as a vehicle or a couple of exclusive weapons, but in the end it is nothing that alters the experience too much. These contents are usually unlocked from the beginning of the adventure if we enter the code, but In the case of ‘GTA VI Ultimate’ things seem slightly different. As the company has commented, these new contents will be unlocked not all at once, but as we complete steps in the adventures of its protagonists. And that, with my experience as a player, sounds to me like content that has always been unlocked as we played, without having to pay anything else, but that now they want to pass off as additional content. Because yes, we have some different weapons, vehicles, tattoos, hairstyles and outfits, but also two car modification workshops, a new safe house in one of the areas, a store that only opens with this version and what seems like a mission or event in which we can raid the warehouse of a gang in the city to recover their merchandise. As I say, all of that sounds to me like content that, In another era, we would have been achieving with the normal course of the adventure. And for this reason, precisely, it gives rise to thinking that the ‘GTA VI’ that they had in mind from the beginning was the one for 100 euros, and that this so-called ‘Ultimate Edition’ is nothing more than the standard version, but with a cut version for 80 euros so as not to be ‘GTA’ the saga that raised the games to the 100 euro barrier. Because, in the end, no matter how much of a ‘GTA’ you are, the price of a video game matters. For example, the one that got involved when PS5 raised the price of some games up to 80 euros or when Nintendo did it a year ago with 90 euros. In fact, Rockstar must be quite happy with Nintendo for the 90 euros of ‘Mario Kart World’. And, speaking of Nintendo, another detail that gives rise to thinking that the ‘GTA VI’ “really” is the 100 euro one is the one that was set up when Nintendo launched ‘Donkey Kong Bananza‘ for 80 euros and, just a month later, it released a DLC that they most likely already had prepared for the original launch, but costing 20 euros. In practice, whoever wanted the complete game ‘dropped’ 100 euros in just a month and a half. But hey, price and controversies aside, ‘GTA VI’ is going to be a generational game. Rockstar has been cooking this work for more than a decade, which has become, possibly, the most expensive entertainment product ever created. It is a game that will not leave anyone indifferent and that, without really having many details about it, fills rivers of digital ink and a lot of content on YouTube. It also seems that they want to get rid of all the negative aspects as soon as possible so that the launch on November 19 goes as smoothly as possible. Although Rockstar must deal not only with issues such as price or differences between versions, but with much more serious things such as the denounced treatment of its workers and their rights. And if Reddit is a thermometer, it is neither hot nor cold, with users defending the decision and others questioning, precisely, that content is blocked.

Europe imposes a fixed tariff of three euros for small packages

by

For years China has benefited from a tariff exemption that allowed packages of less than 150 euros to not be subject to tax. Platforms like Shein, Temu or AliExpress have done their best for years and users have benefited from it, but on July 1, 2026, what was happening will end. The EU already warned that this exemption had its days numberedand it will do so in a few days. The consequence: everything we buy in those stores will be a little more expensive. The de minimis doctrine. In November 2025 the European Council agreed eliminate the exemption for packages with a value of less than 150 euros, which were not forced to pay taxes at customs. This exemption was very similar to the one followed in the US until not long ago. with the “de minimis” doctrine. Three euros to start. The new terms They come into force on July 1, 2026, and will force customs to force any product to pay taxes from the first euro. To accelerate the implementation of this change, the Council agreed to apply fixed tariffs of three euros on packages worth less than 150 euros when they enter the European Union. In 2028 the Customs Data Center will be launched and the fixed rate will end. Instead, percentage tariffs will be applied. Be careful with mixing products, taxes go up. These taxes are charged per product category, not per package. So, if a package contains two toys, a coat and three bottles of shampoo, taxes are calculated by category. In this specific case there are three categories, so at three euros per category, the charge would be nine euros. Chinese bargains will no longer be so bargains. The European Union thus nips in the bud a mechanism that Chinese e-commerce platforms had taken advantage of to massively sell low-value products. Consumers knew this and have also taken great advantage of these advantages by frequently buying in stores like Temu, Shein or AliExpress, but now prices will rise because these Chinese stores will pass the tax on to users. The EU will raise big. In the EU they defend that this protects local commerce, is also a measure against fraud and adds security for consumers. All of this is undoubtedly true, but there is another obvious reason to end the exemption: revenue. It is expected These measures will earn the EU nearly 1,000 million euros a year. Too many minipacks. According to the European Commission, packages with a value of less than 150 euros represented 97.9% of the packages distributed in the European Union. That is to say: the vast majority of what arrived were small purchases with an average value of 8.86 euros. Although there were many packages, adding the value of all of them only represented 2.1% of all the money that foreign trade moves with the EU. Customs were inundated with millions of individual packages of little value. And many lied. The Hellenic Confederation of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (ESEE) estimated in the Greek middle Tovima that about 65% of packages declare a lower value than the real value to avoid paying taxes at customs. The problem, of course, is inspecting millions of packages to confirm that the declared value is correct. Now Shein and Temu’s “dump” will be another. These exemptions had turned Europe into a massive destination for Chinese production capacity and its massive exports. The new regulation should mitigate the problem, and now who can become that new “dumping ground” for low-value Chinese products? it’s uk.

Freezing eggs costs up to 5,000 euros. These scientists propose rejuvenating oocytes so they do not have to freeze them

by

Today, many women they postpone motherhood until well past 30. The search for advancement in one’s professional career, work-life balance problems or economic instability tend to be the main causes why the average age of motherhood in Spanish women is now over 32 years old. In reality, in many cases, everything starts from economic instability. It is the reason why many women wait until they are successful in their careers to have children and also the reason why they cannot financially afford to pay people to help them take care of their babies without having to exploit grandparents. In short, having a child is expensive, so it takes many years to save enough. Unfortunately, the longer motherhood is postponed, the more difficult it is to achieve pregnancy and the greater the risk that the baby will be born with certain chromosomal syndromes. Oocyte freezing is often offered as a solution, but this is also expensive. If there is no money to have children, there may not be any to freeze oocytes when they are still young enough. Therefore, the proposal by a team of scientists from the Czech Republic, Germany and the United Kingdom to rejuvenate oocytes with the help of a single protein seems most promising. A protein to rejuvenate them all. One of the main reasons why fertility problems occur as age increases is the appearance of errors in meiosis. The authors of this researchwhich was presented last January at the British Fertility Conference in Edinburgh, they realized that there is a protein called Shugoshin 1, which has the ability to prevent precisely those errors in meiosis. By microinjecting this protein into oocytes donated to a fertility clinic, the effects on meiosis decreased, going from 53% in untreated oocytes to 25% in treated oocytes. For this reason, these scientists are already seeking the necessary permits to carry out clinical trials with patients who are going to undergo an in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. Clarification here: Although colloquially we always talk about eggs, the egg is the final maturation phase of the oocyte, which normally ends if there is fertilization. Therefore, what is donated or extracted for an assisted reproduction cycle is an oocyte. What happens in meiosis. Meiosis is a cellular process by which one cell divides into four others, with half as many chromosomes as the original. It is very important in sexual reproduction, since eggs and sperm are obtained which, when they fuse, add their chromosome ends and give rise to a zygote with the original number of chromosomes that human cells have. That is, if humans normally have 46 chromosomes, the egg produces 23 and the sperm produces the other 23. The two parts of meiosis. This process has two parts, each composed of several phases. Broadly speaking, after an initial crossing over phase to give rise to genetic variability, the pairs of chromosomes are placed in an orderly manner in the center of the cell. Afterwards, each member of the pair moves to one pole of the cell, so that it divides into two equal ones. Each of these cells will have one member of each pair of chromosomes. Those chromosomes that have separated still have two chromatids, with the characteristic X shape with which they are usually represented. Thus they reach the second part of meiosis in which the process is repeated again. All the X-shaped chromosomes go to the center of the cell. Then, a chromatid from each chromosome goes to each pole of the cell, which divides as before. Each of those chromatids will be a chromosome in the new cell. Thus, in the end, there will be four cells with half as many chromosomes as the initial one, although only one thrives to finally become an egg. The problems of age. There are several problems by which age can affect meiosis. However, it has been seen that the Shugoshin 1 protein has an essential role, since it acts as a kind of glue, preventing chromosomes and chromatids from separating prematurely or in an inappropriate way. That is why they wanted to test the experiment that has given these scientists such good results. A limitation. Success rates in IVF They usually begin an increasingly rapid decline after the age of 35. For this reason, these scientists wanted to make a distinction in their study between oocytes from children and adults of that age. Although the average was what we have already mentioned (change from 53% to 25% defects), with oocytes from over 35 years of age it only went from 65% to 44%. It’s not that statistically significant. However, there were only 9 oocytes in that age group, so it was not a sufficient number to draw conclusive results. Be that as it may, with the total it is clear that this protein can be very beneficial. It shouldn’t be frozen. Oocyte freezing It’s a strategy which is used to keep these cells in a more youthful state. If a 25-year-old woman freezes her oocytes, but decides to have children at 30, she can use those oocytes, which will have more or less maintained the qualities of the 25-year-old, and undergo an assisted reproduction process in which it will be easier to achieve pregnancy. The problem is that, at least in Spain, the price of freezing oocytes It can range between 2,000 and 5,000 euros. If a woman is not financially ready to have children at 25 or 30, she may not be ready to pay that sum of money either. In search of the clinical trial. Microinjection into oocytes already exists among assisted reproduction techniques. It is carried out through ICSI, a tool that consists of microinjecting the sperm directly into the oocyte. It is very useful in case there are few sperm and/or they are not very mobile. That makes clinics ready to microinject the Shugoshin 1 protein into oocytes. Even so, logically, the viability of this process must be tested. That is why the authors of the … Read more

prepare more than 1,000 euros

With the brief message “it’s here, reserve Steam Machine“, Valve has just revealed the price of the PC that was destined to bring the experience of the exceptional Steam Deck to the big screen. Announced in November of last year, the PC-console has been kept in a mysterious limbo due to the price of the components, but the rumors sounded, they were not flattering for anyone who wanted one and we have to say that they have ended up being confirmed. Because the Steam Machine, which does not come with the most cutting-edge components, part of the 1,039 euros in its configuration with less storage and without a controller, but it reaches around 1,428 euros in a pack with the controller and 2 TB of memory that makes the set move away from the PCs with which it sought to compete. Because, at the time, projections placed it between 750 and 900 euros in the most pessimistic estimate. But, as often happens, reality has ended up being harsher. The price of the Steam Machine We had been reading rumors and leaks for weeks about the supposedly imminent launch of the Steam Machine. In fact, Valve was expected to shed light between the 22nd and 23rd, with the issue of price being the main issue to be resolved. Because with the current situation of the components and the appearance of Valve’s boss, Gabe Newel, asking for “help” to buy RAM in the face of the tremendous rise in prices, it was already hinting that the system would be expensive. The time has come and those most pessimistic forecasts have been fulfilled to the letter. The Steam Machine prices are as follows: 512GB Steam Machine – 1,039 euros. 512GB Steam Machine with Steam Controller – 1,108 euros. 2TB Steam Machine – 1,359 euros. 2TB Steam Machine with Steam Controller – 1,428 euros. There’s not much more. The machine is still a PC with an AMD Zen 4 architecture processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, custom RDMA3 RAM with 28 CUs and 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and another 16 GB DDR5. The system is the best thing about the machine, being a SteamOS that gives us Steam Deck users so much joy, but the software is not the most cutting-edge for a machine that must fight against consoles like PS5, Xbox Series X and, in one or two years, PS6 and Project Helix. Valve never announced an official price for the Steam Machine, but when its characteristics became known, possible prices began to appear depending on the hardware that the PC mounts. And, beyond any other consideration, the reality is that the timing could not have been worse for the launch of the machine. Unlike Sony with PS6, Valve was forced to launch the Steam Machine because it was already announced and with each passing day two things happened: the price was going to be higher because the situation with RAM/storage does not give a respite and, furthermore, every day it was more outdated on a technical level. Steam Machine release and pre-orders Aside from the price, Valve has revealed the reservation system for the Steam Machine. On the website, you must select one of the four models, select a Steam session and place the request until June 25. It will be then that this reservation period will close and Valve will hold a draw among those interested to establish the order in which they will be sent the emails formalizing the reservation. Once we have the email, we will have 72 hours to formalize the payment. All other reservations after June 25 will be added in order to a virtual queue, but seeing the problems they have restoring the stock of the Steam Controller, it is very possible that once the units they have are sold out, it will take us a while to see units in the store again.

1,300 km, three countries and tickets from 10 euros

by

When you are in no hurry and everything is going smoothly, traveling by train may be one of the best experiences. And if you are a fan of traveling long distances by this means of transportation through several countries, you have a good number of options in Europe. One of them starts on June 25, with a new train service between Poland and Germany that runs more than 1,300 kilometers, crossing the Czech Republic, and with tickets starting at 10 euros. We tell you all the details. What you need to know. The Czech company Leo Express, 50% owned by Renfe since 2021launches this summer one of the longest direct rail connections on the continent. The route connects the Polish city of Przemyśl, just 10 kilometers from the border with Ukraine, with Frankfurt airport, in Germany, and passing through the Czech Republic. It is about 1,300 kilometers which are completed in around 18 hours. Connections. Peter Köhler, CEO of Leo Express, account that “with this new route we are removing the iron curtains between Eastern and Western Europe, connecting important European centers and facilitating access to Ukraine.” Forty years after the fall of the Soviet bloc, rail communications between Eastern and Western Europe remain scarce. This route comes to fill that gap. The journey, stop by stop. The train leaves Przemyśl at 13:31 and heads towards Krakow before crossing into Czech territory, where it stops in Ostrava and Prague. From there it enters Germany and stops in Dresden, Leipzig and Erfurt, before arriving in the center of Frankfurt and the city’s airport at 7:53 the next day. The service in the opposite direction leaves the airport at 8:27 and arrives in Przemyśl after two in the morning. There will be a daily service in each direction. The operator states that on board users will have Wi-Fi, plugs to charge devices, air conditioning and beverage service. The price. Tickets will start at 10 euros, according to inform National Geographic. And that really is the main attraction, especially for those who want to get around the center of Europe without spending a fortune. At the moment, the train will not have business class, but its incorporation is planned from 2027. Although it should be noted that the most basic proposal is already attractive for those who have some time and desire to see the landscape. It is one of the longest in Europe Although it does not top the list, according to collect Hosteltur, the Leo Express route will become the fifth longest direct connection on the continent. Ahead are the Malmö-Innsbruck night route, with 1,720 kilometers and up to 22 hours of travel; the Optima Express service between Villach (Austria) and Edirne (Türkiye), which can exceed 32 hours of travel; the historic Polar Circle Train between Stockholm and Narvik, which will precisely stop operating in 2026; and the train that crosses Italy from south to north, from Palermo to Milan, in 1,431 kilometers. Outside the European Union, Russia has a connection between Adler and Vorkuta that exceeds 4,000 kilometers and takes around four days of travel. Renfe’s role in all this. The operator acquired 50% of its capital in 2021 for seven million euros, with the declared intention of expanding throughout the European railway market. This route is the most visible step so far in that strategy, but not the only one, since the company is also working on a night connection between Prague and Venice scheduled for 2027, and in March of this year it launched a service between Warsaw and Krakow with tickets from two euros.
