one dead and 37 injured after a train derailed in Gelida (Barcelona)

by

Just over 48 hours had passed since the Adamuz (Córdoba) railway accident occurred, the second most serious in our country, when Rodalies Catalunya reported a accident on line R4 between Sant Sadurní and Gelida (Barcelona). The train driver died in the accident and 37 people were injured. Five of them are seriously injured. What has happened? A retaining wall has fallen on the tracks of line R4 on the Rodalies line in Catalonia. The train has collided and has left the track. As a consequence of the impact and the subsequent derailment, Rodalies Catalunya has reported that a person has died. Click on the image to go to the original tweet The victims. As the company reported shortly before midnight, one person has died. This would be an active machinist or one of the two trainee machinists, they report in The Countryalthough it still has to be clarified. The emergency services have confirmed to the newspaper that 37 affected passengers have been treated. Five are in serious condition, six in less serious condition and 26 in mild condition. Most of them were traveling in the first car, which is the one that received the impact and most of the damage. Rodalies has set up a helpline for victims: 900 101 660. In addition to the emergency medical services, 70 members of the Fire Brigade had to go to the scene of the accident to rescue the people trapped inside the car and shore up the retaining wall to prevent it from continuing to fall. What is known about the accident. Rodalies line R4 connects Sant Vicenç de Calders – Manresa (through Vilafranca del Penedès). At that moment, a train traveling towards Manresa and between the stations of Sant Sadurní and Gelida (Barcelona) collides with a retaining wall that falls in its path, causing it to derail. At the moment, the causes that motivated the detachment are not known, but the first hypotheses point to the heavy rains that Catalonia has experienced in the last few days. Just yesterday, shortly before one in the afternoon, Rodalies reported a civil protection alert to coastal municipalities due to strong waves to prevent possible flooding. Derailment in Blanes. In addition to the Gelida accident (Barcelona) another Rodalies train has also derailed between the stations of Blanes and Maçanet (Girona), this time as a result of some rocks that have fallen onto the track. In this case there are no injuries to be regretted on a train in which only 10 people were traveling. The train axle broke in the crash. Click on the image to go to the original tweet Suspended service. There will be no Rodalies trains on today, January 21, 2026, and there is no estimated reopening date. The company has assured that the service remains suspended until all lines are reviewed and the safety of travelers can be guaranteed. It is estimated that the suspension of the service will affect an estimated number of between 350,000 and 400,000 passengers that move daily along the lines.

Russia’s order has triggered anxiety in Europe. Germany and France are already preparing for the worst: 1,000 injured per day

by

To the incursions of Russia in the European airspace that took place last week In Poland, Romania and Estoniaanother in Denmark has joined with chaotic consequences for airlines. NATO has raised the voice while Moscow seems to test the allied cohesion in the Baltic. In the background: a series of movements that indicate two things: anxiety has shot in Europe, and some begin to prepare for a war scenario. Denmark does not give credit. Denmark has described As an “unprecedented attack” the incursions of drones that have forced to close the airports of Copenhagen and Oslo for hours, leaving tens of thousands of stranded passengers, in an episode that encompasses the wave of aerial rapes and drones attacks in past days To Poland, Romania and Estonia. The aircraft appeared from multiple directions, alternating lights and then disappearing, and the Danish authorities attribute them to “a capable operator”, while the Kremlin denies it. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen He talked about The “more serious” aggression against a critical infrastructure of Denmark and did not rule out any hypotheses, opinion supported by leaders such as Ukrainian President Zelenski and by EU spokesmen, who see a pattern of reckless actions by Russia. NATO celebrated meetings Under article 4condemned the violations and stressed that Rwill effort capabilities and deterrenceand some officials already contemplate the possibility of more forceful responses (even demolition) if these provocations are repeated. France and preparations. In France, the controversy has exploded after a Publication of Le Canard Enchaînéwhich revealed a letter sent in July by the Minister of Health, Catherine Vautrin, in which she asked French health agencies to prepare for a possible “major commitment” In March 2026. The document urged hospitals to be ready to serve several thousand soldiers during periods that could extend 10 to 180 dayswhich included both French and foreign troops. The news, despite proceeding from a satirical environment, generated accusations that Emmanuel Macron would be secretly planning the country to the war against Russia. The extreme right, represented by the Eurodiputa Thierry Mariani, It went further suggesting that a conflict would allow to suspend the presidential elections of 2027. The official clarification. The Ministry of Health He did not deny authenticity of the letter, but he clarified his goal: it was a Preventive Planning Faced with possible risks and threats that could affect the hospital system, including the arrival of a large number of victims of an international conflict. The measure, according to the Ministerial Crisis Center, sought to guarantee the capacity of the civil health system to absorb a massive flow of military patients in case France, as a member of NATO and ally of Ukraine, was indirectly involved in a war set. It was not, therefore, a war plan per sebut an exercise in advance of contingencies. Germany and preparations. It happens that Germany It has begun To explicitly plan how to face an eventual large -scale conflict between NATO and Russia, the scene that many alliance analysts place Around 2029. Reuters explained That the calculation that marks this preparation is as sober as disturbing: up to 1,000 soldiers Germans wounded per day may require medical care in case of an open confrontation, a figure that the inspector general of Health, Ralf Hoffmann, qualifies as realistic based on the intensity of the fighting and the units involved. Ukraine lessons. The war in Ukraine has radically changed the nature of the injuries. If the bullet wounds predominated before, today the panorama is dominated by the devastating drones effectsMERODERE AND EXPLOSIVE MORMERS, which generate amputations, burns and multiple trauma. Hoffmann Underline That the “death corridor” of ten kilometers on each side of the Ukrainian front, plagued by hostile UAVs, shows how immediate medical evacuations have become almost impossible: injured should often be stabilized for hours under constant fire before being able to be transferred. How to evacuate. With this horizon, Berlin is studying Expand your abilities of flexible medical transport, inspired by the Ukrainian experience with hospital trains. It is considered to incorporate trains, buses and a greater number of sanitary aircraft, with the aim of guaranteeing staggered evacuations: initial attention in the front, intermediate stabilization and final transfer to hospitals within the German territory. This medical logistics chain demands a robust, decentralized and capable system under air and electronic threat. The plan contemplates that the injured receive definitive care especially in civil hospitals, with an estimated volume of 15,000 reserved beds within a national total capacity of 440,000. The coordination between the military medical service and the civil health system will be essential, and the medical body of the Armed Forces, currently 15,000 troops, must be extended significantly to face the magnitude of the challenge. The Kremlin and article 5. Explained the Financial Times That all this climate of extreme anxiety in Europe possibly responds to a Moscow tactic: to demonstrate that the NATO collective defense clause, Article 5it lacks real value. A hesitant response to a provocation could open the door to Russia trying to “break down” small European states without facing the block as a whole. Scenarios such as a land incursion under the pretext of protecting Russian minorities in Baltic countries are part of the recurring fears of military planners. To do this, Moscow has uncertainty that surrounds Washingtonwhose contribution represents about 40 % of the military capacities of the Alliance in Europe. The unknowns Trump. The American factor is decisive. With units of Himars Artillery And tanks already deployed in the Baltic, the military presence is significant, but the key question is what Donald Trump would do in case of open aggression. Distrust is mutual: in Washington some see the Baltic as excessively ideological and aggressive against Moscow, while in Tallin the vote of the United States is remembered with Russia in the UN as An alert signal. The president’s volatility adds an unpredictable element: as well as surprising authorizing Attacks to IranI could react unexpectedly in a crisis in Eastern Europe. Between fear and dependence.

According to NASA, there has only been one person injured by a meteorite. The Ottoman Empire has another opinion

by

It could be a trivial question: how many people have been injured by the impact of a meteorite? The official answer, the only documented by NASA, is one. Only one. His name was Ann Hodges. He was taking a nap on the couch of his house, and survived to tell it. However, the dusty files of the Ottoman Empire tell a different story. One that does not end with a great Moraton, but with a death. The interrupted nap of Ann Hodges. The probability that a rock rock falls is very small, but it is never zero. On November 30, 1954, Ann Hodges was sleeping on the sofa of his house in Alabama when an object of the size of a softball ball crossed the roof, bounced on a radio and hit it on the hip. The result: a considerable bruise and a legal dispute between Hodges and her homemade. Tired of media care and curious tourists, the woman ended up donating the meteorite to Alabama Natural History Museum In 1956, where it can still be visited. Two subsequent cases. From the interrupted nap of Ann Hodges there have been two doubtful cases. In 1992, a Uganda child said he was reached in the head by a small rock fragment. The Meteoritus rain existedbut the child suffered any damage. In 2016, a man died in India for the alleged impact of a meteorite. NASA It ended up determining that had not been a meteorite, but an explosion on land. A death in Ottoman archives. In 2020, a team of researchers diving in the state archives of Türkiye found something unexpected. Three manuscripts written in Turkish Ottoman described with chilling details An event occurred on August 22, 1888. The documents, which were official reports aimed at Sultan Abdul Hamid II, report that a “bright light accompanied by smoke” was followed, for about ten minutes, of meteorites that fell “like the rain” on a village of Sulaymaniyah, a region that today is part of Iraq. The consequences were tragic: “A man died and another was seriously injured and was paralyzed.” The texts also mention extensive damage to crops. No one knows where those rocks are. The documents mention that samples of the rocks were sent to the capital, but the researchers have not found them. Even so, it is the first report in the story, backed by three manuscripts, which states that the impact of a meteorite killed a man. The incident has gone unnoticed by more than a century by the idiomatic barrier and the little interest in reviewing historical archives of this type, but seems authentic. “Because these documents come from official government sources, we have no suspicion about their truthfulness,” the study concludes. Unlikely, but not impossible. Every day, about 44 tons of meteoritic material bombard the earthbut the vast majority disintegrates in the atmosphere. That a large enough fragment survives and, in addition, impacts a populated area and, to top it off, hit a person, it is statistically unlikely, but not impossible. Even so, it is not the meteorites that should worry, but our own garbage. Every day three large pieces of space garbage, such as dead satellites or rocket stages re -entering in the atmosphere. The majority burns or falls into the ocean, but luck is not eternal. With the new megaconstellations, the resentments will multiply. “Sooner or later we will have bad luck and someone will be injured by the fall of space garbage,” warns the astrophysic Jonathan McDowell.

Ryanair has left several death injured in Spain. Now we know that he has more passengers than ever

by

Ryanair is not weighing, at all, his departure from some Spanish airports. The Irish company is flying more than ever in our country, as certified by the data related to the first semester. The company accumulates more passenger volume in Spain, is one of the airlines that grows the most and expands its distance from competitors. More passengers, more. In the first semester of 2025, Ryanair has accumulated in Spain 32.64 million passengers. It is a 6.6% higher than that registered in the same period last year when it accumulated 30.63 million passengers. It is, with great difference, the airline that moves more traffic from our country. The data collects them AENA which also points out that in the first semester more than 181 million passengers have moved at Spanish airports, the figure is 4.7% higher than that registered in the same period of 2024. Leaders. The data of the first semester of the year also leave other readings. Ryanair has added more than two million passengers compared to the same period of 2024. No other large airline has grown so much in our country in absolute terms of travelers. In fact, the variation with respect to last year is 6.6%, lower than the sustained in previous semesters and also lower than other companies Lowcost such as Easyjet (+13%), Binter (+8.6%) or Wizzair (+22.8%). However, none of them approaches the numbers of the Irish company. A year ago, Ryanair surpassed Vueling in 8 million passengers in a single semester. Today that difference is closer to the 10 million passengers since the Spanish airline has only grown in some 400,000 travelers compared to the first semester of 2024. In full withdrawal. Growth is even more striking if we consider than Ryanair has closed 12 routes in Spain And now offer 800,000 places less than only a few months ago. The company fulfilled its threat to leave some regional airports as a demonstration of force before the fine that the government imposed For the collection of hand luggage, practices that the Executive considers abusive. At his departure, Ryanair prioritized regional airports. In them, their business volume was low and, in fact, maintained some routes for Commercial agreements with local entities. He knew that retiring from these spaces could cause almost deadly damage to some airfields. To show that of Valladolid that in the first half of the year he has registered 41,725 passengers between January and June, about 56,000 passengers less than in the same period of 2024 when 100,000 travelers were toured in six months. The Lowcost. The other striking fact, which we have already advanced, is the growth of the Lowcost in front of any other company. Regarding the same semester of 2024, no airline grows both in passengers and the cheapest options. Airlines that make greater reach flights are more sensitive to geopolitical fluctuations and facilities (or not) to travel. Iberia, for example, Avaca Its 0.7% setback to a fall in travelers to North America. On the contrary, Eurowings (Lowcost from Lufthansa) and Transavia (from Air France-KLM) have also grown in Spain more than 4%.

The cheap mobile was seriously injured in Europe. The energy label can advise the coup de grace

by

Today, June 20, 2025, it is a before and after for those phones that are sold in Spain. From this date, every manufacturer who wants to distribute their new products in Europe will have to add The energy label in its box. It is an effort at European level to guarantee compliance with Regulation on Ecological Designaffecting mobile phones, wireless landlines and tablets. In addition to forcing manufacturers to introduce this label, changes relating to the support years arrive They will have to give to every new mobile. These changes in the design, software and product life of the product paint well. But the question is who is going to pay the duck. What changes. From now on, manufacturers have to introduce the new energy labeling in every mobile that they want to put on sale. In it, they are collected data related to the energy efficiency of the samereliability in free fall, autonomy measured per cycle, supported battery cycles, Water and dust resistance protocols and repair index. In addition to informing about ecological design, manufacturers will be obliged to make draft changes throughout the chain process: from how they manufacture the phone to What happens to him with the guarantee time. The updates. Smartphones manufacturers will have to guarantee five years of updates (dry updates, not mandatory version jump) for each and every one of their phones. It is something that great manufacturers such as Samsung, Google, Honor, Xiaomi and Motorola They were already doing with some of their most recent mobiles. The key is precisely in that “some.” Each system update, however small, entails: A team of active software engineers dedicated to the project Quality control processes (internal tests, Google certifications to meet the requirements of each update) Operator certifications in the event that the phone is distributed through a third party Keep the ota infrastructure alive Costs that, in the case of low and medium -end devices, disappeared after the two years that used to be updated. Duplication support will entail an additional expense to companies on devices that leave tight margins: a device of less than 100 euros updating for five years does not seem the best business. And this is just a part of the cake. The new manufacturing standard. The EU focuses on the manufacture of the device. Manufacturers will be obliged to be more resistant to falls, scratches, splashes resistance, and batteries that promise a minimum of the 80% of its total capacity after 800 load cycles. Similarly, spare parts must be guaranteed for at least seven years since the product stops selling. Each and every one of the necessary components to repair the phone must be available to surrender within five to ten days. In summary. Consumers are going to win in two pillars. We will have better phones in the market. We will be able to inform ourselves in a single view of the quality in the ecological design of each of them. The problem is precisely what. Manufacturers will have to support five years. Manufacture, distribute and guarantee spare parts for seven. Introduce better batteries. Create phones more resistant to falls and scratches. Ensure compliance with splash resistance protocols Who pays it. In Europe we are buying increasingly expensive mobiles. So much so that there are more users buying phones of more than 800 euros than users buying mobiles of less than 200 euros. In fact, one of the main reasons why shipments in Europe fell into the first quarter of 2025 has to do precisely The fall in the input range mobile demand. The lowest volume in this segment in the last decade. This segment is precisely one of the most affected will be seen by the normative change: mid -range devices (strip between 399 and 799 euros, according to consultants) and superiors already met a good part of the demands of the European Union. The big question is whether manufacturers will try to absorb these additional costs through the margin in more profitable ranges, or if economic ranges will face slight increases to continue fighting for positive yields.

At his departure from Valladolid, Ryanair has left an unexpected death injured: airport coffee

by

Ryanair’s impact is not only counted by the number of flights he leaves in an airport. Not at least where they are a key piece in the operation of a regional square such as Valladolid, where Its march has reduced by 60% The number of travelers who pass through their facilities. Last January, the company announced that this summer would close operations at the Valladolid airport. The decision entered into the Pressure measures that the company is applying against the government for discrepancies related to the collection of hand suitcases or rates that Aena Cobra for operating in the facilities. This pressure tool translated into a reduction in operations in seven airports. In Vigo, for example, Ryanair has eliminated their seats by 61% available. But the highest figure is not always the one that does the most damage because you have to pay attention to the specific impact that the company has on the airport. And in Valladolid it was huge. So much that the volume of travelers at the city airport has been reduced by 63.2% According to data offered by AENA. But the company’s march not only has a direct impact on the offer of flights that are now available the Valladolid. It impacts the workers of the airport itself. Like those of its cafeteria. Three workers dismissed due to lack of work The story brings it first hand The North of Castile. The local media has interviewed César Carreras, a cafeteria dealer of the Valladolid airport who says that with the march of Ryanair, 80% of the clientele has vanished. In less than a year, Carreras has seen how the airport was emptied without Ryanair’s operations (which stopped operating on March 28) but with The previous flying of Vuelingwhich stopped offering the Valladolid-Barcelona route in June last year. Right now, Binter is the only company that operates the airport but has no daily trips. “This month They only work two days a week“, says the head of the cafeteria. Specifies that travelers have left but that there is also an employee hole, since only four workers of all employees that the company maintained in Valladolid remains in the facilities although performing other work. He explains that only the days that there are flights and just for three hours are exploding to cafeteria because the rest of the day the airport remains practically empty. He explains that now he only works the cafeteria and that he has had to fire three employees. At the moment, it remains in the concession because it would have “problems” to leave it and because it can give the service itself since it has another open business. When Ryanair announced that Valladolid left and Jerez and what reduced its operations I already talked about the decision would leave “Half -empty regional airports” although he blamed the march and reduction of operations to the alleged high rates of Aena. Those Aena rates They are the ones used to maintain the minimum services of an airport (security, cleaning …) and from the company ensure that they are extremely low in regional airports because there are multiple discounts to make them attractive. At the moment, they say, they are operating just two euros per passenger. What has long resonates is the fine that the Ministry of Consumption imposed on Ryanair for the collection of the hand luggage suitcase. For the Government, the allowed dimensions are extremely reduced and do not cover the definition of “essential” to which it obliges European regulations. Consequently imposed a sanction of more than 100 million euros. That fine was the one that precipitated everything, since Ryanair understands that without a more concrete definition he has no reason to let in the cabin that They exceed 40x20x25 cm measures collected in its most basic rate. Therefore, they assure that the collection for the cabin trolley It is perfectly legal. Something that seems, It will be ratified in a few months by the European Union itself.

Ryanair has seriously injured to Valladolid airport. And that’s why threatens new cancellations this winter

by

First they announced the exit. After there would be delays. Now they threaten more games. Ryanair has filed a pulse with the government following a historical fine and alleged Aena rates too high. And the most affected are the neighbors of the provincial capitals of our country. “They are not profitable routes”. And that is why Ryanair’s departure is logical and “it is possible to enter other regional airports in these changes.” These changes are cancellations of routes and the words are from Elena Cabrera, Country Manager of Ryanair in Spain, to questions from Spanish-Invertia. With them certifies the pressure policy that the company is doing in Spain, in response to a historical fine imposed by the Executive that has led to the company of some Spanish airports, seriously injuring its activity. What happened? Ryanair’s threat to leave more airports in Spain is not born from nothing. In November 2024, the Government certified a historical fine to various airlines Low Cost. The reason: they were charging for wearing a hand suitcase. The sanction for Ryanair It was more than 107 million euros. The fine imposed by the Ministry of Consumption is, in the eyes of Ryanair, illegal. They point out that they do let travel with a hand suitcase but that It should not exceed contained dimensions 40 x 20 x 25 cm. The battle on whether or not this is legal has arrived in Europe. Spain will have to give explanations in front of the EU Pilota mediating referee designed to resolve conflicts between the European Commission and the Member States. Essential. The origin of the conflict is in the word “essential.” That is the hand luggage that airlines are obliged to allow the passenger for free. Obviously, for the government there is no doubt: the reduced dimensions do not comply with the norm and the bulge cannot be qualified as “essential.” Ryanair believes the opposite. And the problem is that Not justice agrees. In Spain we have had sentences that contradict themselves. Cases in which passengers is right And Ryanair is forced to compensate them and cases in which he fails In favor of the company And the speech is bought that this backpack is enough to travel. AENA’s rates. Perhaps because abandoning Spain for the simple fine was too controversial or because, really, there is an economic reason in it, Ryanair assures that if he leaves Spain it is because of the high rates that the company charges for operating at its airports. These fees serve to pay the cleaning, safety or maintenance services of airports but for the Irish company They are too high. Aena defends himself by ensuring that There are multiple discounts that leave the operation at regional airports at a very low price. For the moment, Competition has forced Aena to freeze rates. 800,000 seats. Aware of its strength in some regional airports, Ryanair has abandoned Operations in Valladolid and Jerez de la Frontera this summer. And has reduced its presence in Vigo, Santiago, Zaragoza, Asturias and Santander. This has led to Valladolid for 60% of air traffic. In total, there are 12 routes that have been canceled or reduced their activity. According to Expansionin the balance for this summer, telling all the airlines, 92,000 seats have been lost to fly from Spain. Of the lost places, 75% are a consequence of Ryanair’s march of these airports. More tension. Now, Ryanair continues to stretch from the rope. Seen the impact they have claimed for months that regional airports They live “a terminal decline” For a long time. The lack of passengers is, they say, the main reason for their march. That they have not been covered by competitors “demonstrates that they are not profitable routes”, in the words of their country manager. However, we must bear in mind that the company has not been operating by volume in this type of route. As is happening With a flight from the Canary Islands to Morocco, It has been institutional advertising the one that has kept these lines alive. To the point that in some cases contracts have been broken that still remained active.

Many Russians injured in Ukraine are not returning home. They are flying with the expenses paid to North Korea

by

During the last months, there have been times in the Ukraine War North Korean soldiers They have been the closest to ghost troops. Actually, and as usually happens in the contests, participants figures vary according to the sides, so we may never know the exact number of “shipments”. That said, and if there was any questions of The ties forged in the Cold War for both nationsin parallel, an unprecedented event is happening. Russian soldiers are not returning home, they are going to Pyongyang. From the battle front to Korea. From the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Thousands of Russian soldiers have returned home injured or with physical and psychological sequelae. Many of them have participated in state rehabilitation programs in sanatoriums distributed throughout Russia. However, an increasing number of military have had another destination. This group, secret until very recently, It has been sent to North Korea To receive medical care and rest, which marks a new chapter in the growing cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang. Recovery with expenses paid. In The Guardian had cases of soldiers like Aleksei (fictional name), who, after suffering a shrapnel wound in the leg, requested a stay in a state sanatorium. The man hoped to be sent to one of the traditional rehabilitation centers in the Black Sea or the Altái mountains, but in the absence of availability, his unit in the distant Russian East offered him an unexpected destination: North Korea. Aleksei, like others, approached a two -hour flight from Vladivostok to Pyongyang, followed by A trip to a sanatorium in Wonsanon the eastern coast of North Korea. There, he spent a week with two other dozen Russian soldiers, in an environment that, although he says that clean and well maintained, lacked the specialized medical care he expected. The “healer” role of North Korea. He Shipping Russian soldiers injured to North Korea has not been publicly promoted through the Russian government, images of visits have not been disseminated. However, in a recent interview, Russia’s ambassador to Pyongyang, Aleksandr Matsegora, confirmed that “hundreds of Russian soldiers” have been treated in Sanatorium and North Korean medical centers. Not just that. The diplomat stressed that Accommodation, food and care services were totally freeand that when Russia tried to compensate for North Korea for expenses, North Korean authorities felt “offended” and rejected any payment. An exchange that is part of that close military and political collaboration between the two countries that we have been countingand that has intensified since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Rest without treatment. Aleksei told the British environment that during his stay in Wonsan he had access to swimming pools, saunas and recreational activities such as ping-pong and card games. But as we said, he noticed several limitations. Namely: he did not receive the expected specialized medical treatment, the meals “were tasteless and had little meat”, it was forbidden to leave the enclosure at night or interact with the local population, and Alcohol was extremely difficult to get. Aspects that, As the New York Times pointed outthey contrast with the image of the traditional Russian sanitariums, who usually offer a combination of physical therapy, rehabilitation and rest in natural environments. Be that as it may, for Aleksei, The experience was “different from the expected”and you are not sure if I would accept to return in case of a new offer. The doubt and strategic background. Some analysts have suggested that these soldiers’ shipments could have a hidden purpose beyond the rehabilitation itself. Like what? He Institute for the Study of War (ISW), based in Washington, has indicated that the arrival of Russian troops with an experience of fighting North Korea It could be an opportunity to train and share tactics with the North Korean armyunder the appearance of rest and recovery. The possibility of greater cooperation in this area reinforces concerns about the growing military alignment between Moscow and Pyongyang. A summer camp for Russian children. It The New York Times had exclusive. In parallel to the arrival of Russian military in North Korea, Pyongyang has also begun to receive children of Russian soldiers who died in the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin first mentioned the initiative in June 2023thanking North Korean leader Kim Jong-un organizing a camp for these children in the Songdowon complex, near Wonsan. This center, which already received Russian visitors before the war, has now become a symbol of the bilateral relationship. In fact, the Russian media have widely covered these trips, Showing images of children posing in front of statues of North Korean leaders. The Times said that even a young participant described the experience as a “total digital detox”highlighting the strict discipline of North Korean children, who were marching in training and continued with military precision. In short, the presence of Russian soldiers in North Korea seems to symbolize that growing convergence between both nationsin a context of international isolation. As military and economic cooperation between Moscow and Pyongyang intensifies, these exchanges could represent more than simple rehabilitation, consolidating a new geopolitical dynamic in the 21st century.

The benefits of Chips chips manufacturer have fallen 45% in 2024. US sanctions have injured

by

In the middle of last January we tell you that during 2024 the semiconductor industry of China has produced 12.5% more than in 2023. Not bad at all, especially if we are in mind that US sanctions And his allies prevent Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers access lithography equipment for extreme ultraviolet (UVE) produced by the Dutch company ASML. And since the beginning of 2024 they cannot buy more machines from deep ultraviolet lithography (UVP). At the current situation it is reasonable that we ask ourselves what kind are the integrated circuits that Chinese manufacturers are massively producing. And the answer is very revealing: these are chips derived from mature integration technologiesusually 28 nm or less advanced. After all, the semiconductors that we find mostly on electronic devices, appliances or cars, among other products, have been produced using them. The sanctions hinder the production of avant -garde chips to SMIC A good part of Chinese chip manufacturers, such as Hua Hong Semiconductor, China Resources Microelectronics or Guangzhou Zensemi, is manufacturing integrated circuits of 28 Nm or with even more mature technologies. And the company Beijing Yandong Microelectronics (YDME) will build A plant of 4.6 billion dollars expressly to produce 28 Nm semiconductors in 300 mm wafers. It is evident that these companies would not turn in this way in the manufacture of mature chips if it was not a profitable strategy, and, above all, necessary to support the Chinese industry of the integrated circuits at such a critical moment as the current one. SMIC has the ability to manufacture integrated 7 nm circuits. And probably also 5 nm However, the business of SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp), which is the largest Chinese manufacturer of semiconductors with a fee in the world market of about 5%it goes for other paths. This company currently has the ability to manufacture Integrated 7 Nm circuits. And probably also 5 nm. We know it with total certainty because this company manufactures, for example, the soc Kirin 9000s integrated into the smartphone Mate 60 Pro of Huawei, which has been scrupulously analyzed by several laboratories aligned with the US, such as the Canadian Techinsights. Unlike most of Chinese integrated circuit manufacturers, SMIC does not live from mature chips. Your business revolves around the avant -garde semiconductors. To manufacture the 7 NM circuits that is delivering to Huawei and other customers using the UVP lithography equipment that has in its possession has been forced to resort to a technique known as Multiple patterning. And this strategy has two problems: it has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decrease in production capacity.
