EU-US summit Brussels and Biden – the sticking points

Status: 15.06.2021 2:04 p.m. Subsidies, punitive tariffs or relations with Beijing – the European Union and the USA are still fighting over a whole range of explosive problems after the change of power in Washington. An overview. The United States and the European Union are clearly trying to improve their relations again after the Trump presidency. Disputes in economic and geopolitics have been simmering for years. The new US President Joe Biden is as tough on some issues as his predecessor Donald Trump. On other questions, however, he showed a willingness to compromise in advance. When he meets EU leader Ursula von der Leyen today, these issues will be the main focus:

Subsidy dispute over Airbus and Boeing

For 17 years, the EU and the US had been fighting because they accused each other of improperly subsidizing their aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing. Since Biden took office, there was a kind of armistice until July 11th. In the run-up to the summit, both sides had hoped to be able to resolve this dispute. In fact, the EU and US reached an agreement at today’s meeting. There is a breakthrough on the subject, said EU Commission President von der Leyen. This will open a new chapter in relationships – with cooperation instead of legal disputes. During Trump’s tenure, the United States had received permission from the World Trade Organization (WTO) to impose punitive tariffs of $ 7.5 billion on goods and services from the EU. Airbus aircraft were subject to a tax of 15 percent. A year later, Brussels also received WTO approval to impose punitive tariffs on US imports totaling four billion dollars.

Punitive tariffs on steel and aluminum

At the meeting between Biden and the EU leaders, the trade conflict over steel and aluminum will also come on the table. The commission hopes that the guest from Washington will agree to lift the punitive tariffs of 25 percent on European steel exports to the USA by December 1st. After Trump was voted out of office, Brussels decided not to raise its tariffs on whiskey, jeans or Harley-Davidson motorcycles as planned on June 1. Now it is up to the USA to turn words into deeds, says Deputy EU Commission President Valdis Dombrovskis. Trump had accused the EU of unfair trade practices and imposed punitive tariffs on imports in this area in June 2018. As a result, European steel exports to the USA rose by 25 percent and exports of aluminum by ten percent.

Digital tax and data security

Brussels also sees a need for discussion regarding the taxation of digital content from US technology companies such as Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook. The EU accuses companies of skilfully shifting their sales and profits to avoid tax payments in the EU. A Europe-wide tax for digital corporations has therefore been discussed in the EU for years. France and other EU countries have already introduced national digital taxes. In the meantime, both sides within the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have agreed to start negotiations on the taxation of digital content. Brussels and Washington are also looking for a new agreement to enable the exchange of personal data from the EU to the US. This is important for the business models of the US digital corporations. The European Court of Justice overturned the so-called Privacy Shield Agreement last year because it did not adequately protect European data from access by US authorities and secret services.

Further consideration for Nord Stream 2?

The German-Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2, which is supposed to double the capacity of Russian deliveries through the Baltic Sea, could also cause some tension at the meeting. She wasn’t just a thorn in Trump’s side. Biden also rejects the almost finished project – but obviously does not want to jeopardize the transatlantic partnership, which has just recovered. The US fear that Moscow has a means of political leverage in the pipeline. The planned start of Nord Stream 2 was delayed by US sanctions under Trump. In a gesture to Berlin at the end of May, Biden’s government decided not to impose sanctions on the operating company Nord Stream 2 AG and its German managing director. Washington wanted to create space for talks with the federal government.

Relations with China

As far as relations with China are concerned, things seem to have calmed down a bit. The fact that the EU reached an investment protection agreement with Beijing without waiting for Biden’s inauguration to coordinate with the new US president was clearly disapproved in Washington. There one expects more support from the Europeans against the Chinese rival. The EU has since put the deal with China on hold and is unequivocally opposed to unfair trade practices and human rights abuses. After the EU imposed sanctions on the situation of the Muslim Uyghur minority in the Chinese province of Xinjiang, Beijing responded with sanctions against EU politicians and scientists. The European Parliament then refused to ratify the agreement. With information from Matthias Reiche, ARD-Studio Brussels

The pandemic “tsunami” of the past months hit and nearly collapsed India’s public health system on a large scale, in the period from mid-April to early June. In this context, thanks to careful preparation and sound resource investment strategy, southern Indian states like Tamil Nadu suffered less severe damage than other regions, according to the report. Financial Times . Prepare early for the bad scenario Jacob John, a doctor at a medical school in the city of Vellore, said the number of patients treated at the hospital where he worked at one time reached “uncontrollable thresholds”. At that time, the hospital’s 900 beds were filled, causing the facility to refuse to accept more patients and nearly drain its reserve of breathing air for treatment. But when a catastrophic second wave of disease hit Tamil Nadu and other southern states, places like Vellore were able to withstand the worst Covid-19 tragedy. The ability of these states to fight the epidemic is largely due to the planned and effective investment in the public health care system in the southern states.

Experts say that in many other parts of India, the lack of investment and reconstruction for the public health system was exposed when the Covid-19 tsunami swept through. Tamil Nadu is recording about 22,000 coronavirus cases and nearly 500 deaths every day. Under that pressure, Tamil Nadu officials still managed to push back the wave of the epidemic. “The current situation is very difficult. We do not have enough intensive care beds and are forced to refuse to accept many patients,” said Dr. John. “I’m not saying we’re perfect, but when the wave is over, I’m sure the investments in the public health system will save lives.” Before the second Covid-19 storm made landfall, healthcare systems in many other parts of the country, including the capital New Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state, were nearly completely collapsed. whole. Many patients die from lack of oxygen while the crematorium is overloaded, causing some families to choose to let their bodies float in the river. New Delhi fell before the pandemic, the number of deaths increased sharply, overloading the crematoriums. Photo: Reuters. Although the southern states of India have also “tasteed” the Covid-19 tragedy, experts say that these localities are resilient to cope with the recent outbreak of the disease. “Thanks to a well-developed healthcare infrastructure, the situation in the southern states is not as shocking as in many other places,” said Ratan Jalan, founder of Medium Healthcare Consulting. India’s southern states account for about 250 million of the country’s nearly 1.4 billion population. Kerala and Tamil Nadu are leaders in healthcare, with indicators such as infant mortality rates consistently low. Except for the state of Karnataka, other parts of South India have abundant medical supplies and many medical colleges. The Sustainable Development Report released by the United Nations and government think tanks in early June also ranks the southern states as having the best public health care systems in India. Authorities in these states also issued a blockade order in May. The strategy helped reduce the number of new Covid-19 cases, temporarily controlling the spread of the pathogen. However, Bangalore, the capital of Karnataka and India’s tech hub, still has a higher number of SARS-CoV-2 infections than other major cities. According to Ravi Mehta, an emergency worker at Apollo Hospital in Bangalore, when the hospital set up a new treatment ward at the end of April, all 30 beds were empty in just 90 minutes. When the treatment area was replenished with 70 beds, it was completely empty in less than 3 hours. Although the pressure has now eased, the hospital’s intensive care unit is still full, and is now used to treat patients with serious complications. Resource disparity States like Maharashtra in western India are also highly rated for their ability to respond to the Covid-19 “tsunami”. However, no state in the west really fights the epidemic as effectively as in the south, according to Financial Times . Kerala, where India’s first Covid-19 case was detected in 2020, is a rare state in the west with many bright spots in disease response. During the first wave of the Covid-19 epidemic, Kerala health officials controlled the spread of the disease and brought the number of corona virus infections to zero in a few days in May 2020. The number of Covid-19 cases in Kerala increased to more than 40,000 cases per day in May, but quickly dropped to the threshold of 20,000 cases per day, according to the report. Financial Times . Experts say the authorities of Kerala and Tamil Nadu have tackled the crisis by building networks of healthcare workers to help sick people find treatment. They have also created strategic systems to distribute resources such as oxygen and oxygen tanks, preventing severe shortages. The high number of infections in the southern states of India and at the same time reflect widespread testing, provide a full picture of the epidemic situation.

On the other hand, the fact that the southern states better control the epidemic also exposes the inequality between rich and poor in the world’s No. 2 epidemic center. In May, at least 20 patients at a hospital in rural Karnataka died from lack of oxygen. In Goa, the southern tourist hub, many patients died from inadequate breathing air. PV Ramesh, a doctor and former senior civil servant in Andhra Pradesh, a state in southeastern India, said the Covid-19 crisis will force the whole country to acknowledge the failure of the medical system. public economy of this country. “This outbreak is still seen as an oxygen supply crisis rather than a management crisis (by health officials), Mr. Ramesh said. “As the wave of disease subsides, people will return to normalcy,” Ramesh said. went back to business as usual and didn’t learn any lessons.” Bringing the ashes of unclaimed Covid-19 victims to the Ganges River Indian volunteers collect ashes from crematoriums to organize funerals for Covid-19 victims in Haridwar city.

“We are negotiating to establish a military base in Qatar, thereby creating a training ground for the elite members of Afghanistan,” a Western security official said. NATO troops ready to support training for Afghan special forces An integral part of NATO’s military operation is helping to train Afghan security forces to fight Afghan insurgents. Each NATO training session for Afghan troops in Qatar is expected to last four to six weeks. Fears that the Taliban will overwhelm the Afghan army have been heightened in recent times as the insurgent group has carried out many major attacks and captured many military bases. Qatar has been known as the seat of the Taliban’s political office since 2013. In recent years, it has also mediated peace talks between US officials, NATO representatives, the Afghan government and the government. Taliban. According to two sources, the US, UK and Turkey are ready to deploy experts to train Afghan forces in Qatar.

Bac Ninh Provincial Police gave symbolic donations from officers and soldiers of the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) to checkpoints for COVID-19 prevention and control in Bac Ninh province. Photo: VNA broadcast On June 15, with the authorization of the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security), Bac Ninh Provincial Police assigned the Criminal Police Department to directly transfer 65 million VND in support to 6 posts in the city. Bac Ninh, Thuan Thanh and Que Vo districts. The gifts containing the affection of comrades and comrades of the leaders, officers and soldiers of the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) are a great source of encouragement and strength for the provincial police force. Bac Ninh continues to perform well at the frontline against the epidemic. Previously, on June 14, a delegation of police officers and soldiers from Bac Ninh’s hometown was working in Hanoi led by Lieutenant General Truong Van Thong, Director, Department of Thematic Studies assisting the Minister, as head of the delegation, visited and supported the Bac Ninh Provincial Police with 130 million VND to prevent and control the epidemic. The above money was donated and supported by police officers and soldiers from Bac Ninh who are working in Hanoi. Recently, the delegation of the Youth Union of the Ministry of Public Security and the People’s Security Academy visited the Bac Ninh Provincial Police Department, presented essential necessities and medical supplies to officers, soldiers and youth union members. years in charge of epidemic prevention in the province. On behalf of the Youth Union of the Ministry of Public Security, Lieutenant Colonel Dong Duc Vu, Secretary of the Youth Union of the Ministry of Public Security, presented the Bac Ninh Provincial Police with essential necessities and medical supplies worth 125 million VND. In addition, the Youth Union of the Ministry of Public Security also gave gifts and supported the youth union members of the Mobile Police Command, the students of the People’s Police Academy who were strengthened to return to Bac Ninh to fight the epidemic and the students of the University. Technical logistics of the People’s Police is on the task of disease prevention and control in Bac Ninh province. Actively consume agricultural products for farmers On June 15, Thai Nguyen Provincial Police organized to receive and support the consumption of agricultural products for farmers affected by the COVID-19 epidemic. Responding to the Open Letter of the Executive Committee of Thai Nguyen Farmers’ Association on supporting Soc Trang farmers to consume purple onions that are backlogged, unable to be consumed or exported due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, Police Thai Nguyen province has mobilized officials and soldiers to support the consumption of agricultural products for farmers at the price of 23,500 VND/kg. With the spirit of working together with the community to support and share difficulties for farmers in the area affected by the epidemic, police officers and soldiers in units and localities have registered to consume 4 tons purple onion. Previously, on June 14, the Youth Union, Women’s Union, and the Can Tho City Public Security Union continued to launch officers and soldiers to support the consumption of Bac Giang lychee (Bac Giang province) and blue-skinned strawberries. Phong Dien (Phong Dien district, Thua Thien – Hue province), this is the 4th batch of the City Police to implement this meaningful program. This time, the Can Tho City Police supported the consumption of more than 6 tons of Bac Giang lychee, 2 tons of Phong Dien blue-skinned strawberries.

These days, the dormitories shack at the foot of Long Bien Bridge, Hanoi, poor workers always have to bend under the heat of 40 degrees Celsius. Towards noon, the sun shines on the roofs that are enclosed around four walls made of corrugated iron and cement roofing sheets. Stepping into the room, you can feel the suffocating heat, the heat emanating from the hot corrugated iron sheets. The roof and walls of the inn are mainly made of corrugated iron and thin plywood panels. There are makeshift houses that don’t even look like a house, just built with extra wood panels, tarps and rags, etc. to cover the sun and rain. As the heat engulfed the houses like a corrugated iron furnace at the foot of Long Bien Bridge, Ms. Thu could not take a nap, so she only took advantage of her time to collect beans and clean the house to ease her pain. Sitting at the door, Mrs. Loan (57 years old, a native of Ninh Binh) had to pour water in front of the room to calm the surging heat. “The fan blows out hot air, not cool, so I have to take advantage of the mornings and afternoons to sleep, when the sun is out, I push the cart to sell goods to earn some money. I don’t have any money at home, I sell my strength to get money, so whenever the weather is cool, I push the cart to sell goods, “said Loan. Some rooms are roofed with fibro cement tiles instead of corrugated iron sheets. This place has been home to hundreds of poor laborers for many years. They are people from many different places. However, because the life in the countryside was flooded, they went to Hanoi to spread all kinds of jobs from carrying goods to rent, pushing carts, selling sticky rice, tea, etc. Because they did not have much money to rent, the poor laborers flocked to the area. inns at the foot of Long Bien bridge live day by day. Taking advantage of the time to go out in front of the alley to catch a cool afternoon because he couldn’t sleep, Mr. Thanh (40 years old, from Thanh Hoa) shared: “I have been living in Long Bien market with the job of loading and unloading fruit for about 3 years. This area has about 30 inns built around 4 meters high.” Most of the workers here work at night, some people are loading goods, others are selling goods and going to the market. When it is hot, many people have to put the folding bed under the tree to avoid the heat. The people here have been struggling to make a living every day, now they have become more and more struggling with the scorching heat and burning flesh. “No one wants to live here, but thinking about the family’s food and clothing, they still try to make a living in a foreign land. This weather can make you sleepy, even if you are tired, you can’t sleep because lying on the bed is like lying on a pile of blankets, sometimes you don’t dare to cook because the room is too hot. The toilet is also in the room, they gather 3 corrugated iron sheets to form a toilet in the corner of the room, “said Thao. The fibro-cement roof retains heat for a long time, making the house always stuffy like a bagua oven Like Mr. Thanh and Mr. Thuan, Mr. Kien (55 years old, from Hai Duong), said that he has been working in Hanoi for 6 years. Every hot season comes, the motel room is no longer a resting place but an obsession to fear of him and everyone here. Can’t sleep because it’s hot like a bagua. “Coming home from work tired and want to rest but can’t sleep because of the heat, the surrounding is made of corrugated iron and thin wood, so it absorbs high heat. The roof is also made of fibro cement tiles, so at noon the heat is like a large oven, nothing more, nothing less. We stay here sometimes it’s too hot and we go to the tree to live or go out under the bushes to sleep comfortably, “said Kien. The shacks are less than 3m high, close together. Even though we have worked all night, many people cannot sleep in hot inns: “Now we only take advantage of sleeping in the morning before coming home from work to take advantage of sleep and then go to a few trees in the afternoon to avoid the heat until the afternoon. Then go back to sleep for a while and then go to work. This house wants to pour water on the roof to reduce the heat, because the water will leak into the house, even if it is poured water, it will only dry for a moment, but it will not work,” Dung added. Under the hot summer sun, those poor neighbors are still struggling every day because of their livelihood. Every afternoon, no one invites anyone, everyone goes to the tree stumps, room doors, shady places to sit and talk about their family’s life and circumstances. In the stressful situation of the epidemic, the people here also pay attention to the distance, but due to the narrow living space, it is inconvenient enough. No one dares to think about air conditioning and air conditioning because they do it to rent an inn and take care of their monthly living expenses. They still wish that when it rains, they will have a good night’s sleep. As for summer days, this place is as hot as a bagua oven, and cold days are bone-chilling. According to the forecast, the hot weather will continue to last and stay at a high temperature. The life of the poor laborers, who were already hard, now becomes even more difficult when they have to fight the hot sun in makeshift motel rooms. The minimalist need to sleep has now suddenly become a great desire of many people.

The entire population has strictly followed the government’s 5K regulations on epidemic prevention, including avoiding large gatherings and limiting contact. Gyms and exercise clubs have been temporarily closed for a few weeks now and this is probably the big “nightmare” that the sisters need to face right now. It’s hard to raise the spirit to practice, but it’s even harder to go to the kitchen to make serious food. In order to completely prevent the “overflowing” fat situation, Vietnamese stars are eager to motivate each other by showing off their eye-catching food with countless “insidious” recipes: eat but not fat. Leading the healthy eating line is Miss Do Thi Ha. Since the day she took on the heavy crown on her shoulders, the Thanh beauty has always been strict with her diet to perfect the look of 10. Looking at the beauty’s white meat salad is enough to understand why the set Recent bikini photos are so cool. Runner-up Kieu Loan is no longer criticized as “elephant foot” or “fat” runner, she has changed and attached to a sexy image. On anti-epidemic days, the queen knows how to rap, practice yoga at home and cook in the kitchen. According to the beauty of Quang, “recent meals are almost green and no rice”. Tieu Vy has just appeared on the cover of the magazine and burned all eyes with her charisma and sexy body. In order to keep social distance without getting fat, she regularly plans and eats 100% homemade food. “Gym doll” Miu Le these days no longer shares her workout photos, but instead “mlem” fans with her series of recipes. Being a heavy exerciser, Miu Le loads up a lot of food, but it’s all under control. The healthiest dish she recently revealed is a sandwich spread with fresh avocado and poached eggs. Mother of two Luu Huong Giang these days pulls out the guitar to beat and take pictures for fun, but still doesn’t forget the task of eating healthy. She shares her meal is a salad with lots of toppings are fresh vegetables and fresh cheese. Diem My 9X has just had a “break through” the rating network when she released a set of photos with a super dangerous cut bikini. Looking at the actress’s figure is enough to understand how harsh her diet is. The beauty shared on the story that the lunch for her who wants to lose 2 pounds is only broccoli and boiled cabbage. It’s so pitiful! The secret to staying confident despite anti-fans is working out and eating with a plan. She usually alternates 1 week of a plant-based diet and 1 week of a normal diet. Her chill meal after a week of eating all plants is brown rice and a variety of Japanese condiments. Besides, the beauty is also flexible to change dishes for her menu, which is to make pancakes with ingredients of bananas, oats, eggs, super attractive milk. Rich kid Ngoc Thanh Tam, besides sweating profusely at the family gym, also eats very carefully and carefully. She shares an interesting and delicious way to eat clean with the recipe: fish spring rolls with brown rice paper and fried with air fryer, grilled chicken salad and brown rice vermicelli. The big sister of the village, Vo Hoang Yen, is the same every season when she is always aware that diet is important to her career. The weight loss meal that the supermodel shared included: oats, nuts, sesame seeds and a few slices of cheese. Thuy Vi works hard every day in lingerie to post on social media. After 7749 times of beating and rebuilding her body, she is now clearly aware of keeping fit by controlling calories in. On the day of the epidemic, the hot girl Ca Mau made salmon soaked in soy sauce, a dish that experts considered to be rich in protein and good fat. Si Thanh is 35 years old this year but her body is still 20 years old. To do that, she actively does yoga and plank every day. More specifically, she is a follower of vegetarianism. Although being a vegetarian, it does not mean that it is not enough and makes the eater less healthy. But perhaps all of the above cases are still not as “crazy” as the final boss, Hien Ho. She put all the ingredients of a meal such as strawberries, bananas, nut milk, chia seeds, spinach, kale and… chicken breast into a puree to make a smoothie. This recipe is suitable for hot sunny days and lazy to eat when you just need to “gour” and you’re done. The above meals are for reference only. Women who want to control their weight well need to rely on their body index such as age, gender, height, weight. The amount of food each person eats is different. She can only refer to the ingredients to flexibly change dishes, fight anorexia and stress. Although there is currently no official announcement when the gym will open, let’s keep a positive and optimistic spirit with our goals, we will never worry about gaining weight or belly fat.

From the beginning of the fourth epidemic until now, the Department of Science, Technology and Training (Ministry of Health) has also directed health human resource training institutions nationwide to prepare and be ready to mobilize staff and lecturers. , students and students volunteered to participate in the prevention and control of Covid-19 epidemic. On May 27, the Ministry of Health mobilized staff, lecturers, trainees and students to volunteer to support the provinces of Bac Giang and Bac Ninh with the number of volunteers supporting 375 people. In which, Hanoi Medical University has 120 people, Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy has 104 people, Vietnam Academy of Traditional Medicine has 36 people, Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy has 65 people, University Nursing Nam Dinh has 50 people. The delegations were present in Bac Giang province today. Particularly, the delegation of Nam Dinh University of Nursing will be present tomorrow (May 28). Currently, 1,976 officials and students from 15 universities and colleges of medicine and pharmacy are participating in epidemic prevention and control activities in 13 provinces and cities: Bac Ninh, Bac Giang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City. Minh, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Can Tho, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Binh Dinh, Thua Thien – Hue, Dien Bien, K Hospital and assist the Department of Preventive Medicine (Ministry of Health) in implementing Currently monitoring, evaluating and reporting epidemic developments by provinces.

From the observations of analyst Andrey Kots, it can be seen that the Russians displayed a new variant of the Kurganets-25 infantry fighting vehicle with the 57 mm BM “Epoch” turret – different from the 30 mm cannon in the reviews. former soldiers. According to analyst Ryabov Kirill, the LShO-57 differs from the well-known 57 mm 2A91 cannon in a number of features including a shorter barrel (barrel length 40 times the size) and no recoil compensation. This design makes the ballistics more stretchable, but at the same time, it also requires the development of new ammunition such as fragmentation explosive ammunition (suitable for the requirements of anti-UAV combat as mentioned above) and armor-piercing ammunition. Kurganets-25 infantry fighting vehicle parade The Kurganets-25 is a new generation of armored fighting vehicles designed to replace the BMP-2 and MT-LB vehicles in motorized units of the Russian army. This will promise to be a line of weapons that will glorify the Russian armored forces. The Kurganets-25 is heavily armed with a 30mm 2A42 automatic cannon with 500 rounds, or a 57mm caliber 2A91 cannon with 200 rounds, in addition to a 7.62mm PKT coaxial machine gun, anti-tank missiles with Kornet-EM remote control, thermobaric grenade launcher. Infantry fighting vehicle Kurganets-25 In addition, the vehicle is equipped with a meteorological reconnaissance system, 2 photoelectric target reconnaissance systems and missile guidance that significantly improve the combat capability of this armored vehicle. On the other hand, the electronic systems will be part of the sensor system, serving the active defense system “soft suppression”. The body of the vehicle is also fitted with 16 grenade launchers and 4 sensors of the Afghanit “hard pressure” system to help the vehicle have excellent defense against infantry and laser-guided weapons. A light on the turret could also be part of an active defense system against second-generation guided anti-tank missiles.

However, Siamese fish do not become such vivid “works of art” on their own. The color and shape of the fins of this fish are the product of a millennium of breeding. According to Yi-Kai Tea, a PhD student at the University of Sydney who studies the evolution and characteristics of fish species, “Literally, the development process of this fish is almost the same. with the domestication of dogs”. A new study, published in April in BioRxiv, finds that humans began domesticating Siamese fish at least 1,000 years ago through sequencing the species’ genome. During a millennium of careful breeding and crossbreeding, Siamese fish are now extremely diverse in appearance. However, this also means that wild, purebred individuals of this species must undergo major genetic changes. The authors of this study say that by sequencing and conducting genetic studies of the Siamese fish, they can gain a lot of information about how it was domesticated, bred, and genetically modified. The Siamese’s intricate coloration and “matchy” fins are the product of a millennium of carefully selected breeding. Yi-Kai Tea hailed it as “the first major study to help identify the genetic basis of beauty” in this fish. All 73 species of Siamese fish are native to Southeast Asia. But the most common species sold in aquarium stores and markets is the fighting fish. This strain is much more colorful than most other purebred varieties of the Siamese family. “The purebred Siamese will often look very different from the ornamental Siamese,” said Young Mi Kwon, a researcher at Columbia University and lead author of the study. “They have short fins, are somewhat duller in color and lack the prominent fin walking commonly seen in ornamental Siamese breeds.” While domesticated Siamese are usually very aggressive and do not live together, their domesticated individuals have a more peaceful disposition. “This may be because the Siamese aquarium lines were originally domesticated for fighting, like fighting cocks,” Kwon added. Siamese fish has a history of 1,000 years. In the late 19th century, breeders began to focus on creating varieties of ornamental fish, which later became extremely popular in the West. “This history has shaped the ornamental Siamese fish we see today, a truly magnificent fish with a fiery temperament,” commented Kwon. To determine the exact history of the formation of the ornamental Siamese fish we see today, Kwon and his colleagues collected DNA samples from purebred Siamese and house-raised Siamese fish, and then proceeded to analyze them. their genome sequences. “We were surprised by the evolution of the Siamese fish that lasted at least 1,000 years ago, which makes it one of the oldest known fish,” Kwon said. While previous studies have shown that Siamese fish were bred as early as the 13th century, recent discoveries have proven that they began to be bred long before that. The study also highlights why breeders are able to create dozens of different varieties of Siamese by color, from red, yellow and blue, to Siamese with large fins, small fins and even multiple colors per individual. Just imagine the new shape of a Siamese fish, it can completely be created and exist in reality. “Many traits, which breeders are selecting for, are regulated by very few genes that have a great deal of influence,” Kwon said. “This means that it won’t take a lot of cross-breeding to get them to have their own characteristics or traits that you want your fish to have.” The researchers also found that ornamental Siamese fish are genetically distinct from purebred Siamese fish. However, they were surprised to discover that the ornamental Siamese had crossed with purebred fish. This crossbreeding may have been the result of the Siamese being released into the wild, which could potentially undermine efforts to preserve the purebred of this fish. “The ornamental Siamese fish will most likely dominate the natural environment, if they are more suitable to the habitat than the purebred fish,” Kwon emphasized. Many purebred Siamese fish breeds are in danger of extinction and the main cause is habitat loss. By studying in more detail the evolutionary history of this fish, the researchers hope to improve our understanding of how other species are bred and genetically engineered. Although much remains to be learned such as how crossbreeding affects Siamese fish, genetic engineering has resulted in the creation of many splendid Siamese fish of stunning colors and shapes that were previously available. This may never have existed. Sapphire According to the New York Times

Mr. Ho An Phong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee spoke at the meeting. At the meeting, the representative of ND Technology Research and Development Joint Stock Company introduced 3 technology solutions for centralized medical isolation management and prevention Covid-19 researched by the company. research, application, that is: Management by monitoring internet connection; Manage by installing the app on a smartphone; Manage by safety strap and install the isolation app. In particular, Managing with a safety strap and installing an isolated app is considered by the company to be the most strict and effective. According to the Manage by safety bracelet solution and install the isolation app, the person performing the isolation will be equipped with a bracelet with bluetooth settings, and at the same time install the isolation management app on the operator’s smartphone. isolation and management staff. The manager will receive an alert when the isolated person leaves the management area, or is more than 10m away from the phone; warn when the isolator turns off the phone, or the phone doesn’t connect to the internet, or removes the quarantine app on the phone; warn when the isolator cuts and removes the safety ring. This application’s requirement is that the quarantine person must use a smartphone with an internet connection. This is a new solution, which has not yet been applied in centralized isolation management in Vietnam, but requires quite high costs. Discussing at the meeting, all delegates strongly agreed with the need to apply technology to monitoring and management in Covid-19 isolated, anti-epidemic areas. At the same time, on the basis of analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of the solutions offered by enterprises, delegates proposed a number of problems, such as: it is possible to integrate many solutions into 1 management software to Apply for each isolated case depending on the level, in order to suit the cost and management conditions when mass deployment. Before mass application, it is recommended to pilot in a number of areas, locations and scope to evaluate the effectiveness in practice. Participants heard about technology solutions for centralized medical isolation management and surveillance for epidemic prevention and control Covid-19 Concluding the meeting, Mr. Ho An Phong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, Head of the Steering Committee for Prevention and Control of Covid-19 province highly appreciated the solutions proposed by ND Technology Research and Development Joint Stock Company. time affirmed that all three solutions are very practical, can be applied to the centralized isolation monitoring activities against Covid-19 in Quang Binh and bring certain effects. The Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee assigned the Department of Information and Communications to coordinate with ND Technology Research and Development Joint Stock Company, CDC Quang Binh to inspect and survey concentrated isolated points and areas in the area. the provincial. After the survey, there is a specific assessment to advise the Provincial People’s Committee and the Steering Committee for the prevention and control of Covid-19 provinces on the best plan when implementing the application of centralized medical isolation management for Covid epidemic prevention and control. -19 according to technology 4.0. The delegates discussed at the meeting. Technology application solutions must aim at: Better and more effective management and supervision in isolated areas; Not only can the quarantine cases be managed, but also officials in the quarantine area; the mentality of the isolator is more active, believes in and feels secure in doing quarantine; has high propaganda among the people.

In the remote Indian village of Chogath, Jeetu, a local pharmacist, has become the only source of medical assistance for people with Covid-19. The second wave of Covid-19 in India has devastated major cities and parts of this country. The hospitals have run out of oxygen and medicine. Jeetu, local pharmacist and volunteer doctor in Chogath village. Photo: CNN But in rural states and remote villages, the workforce of doctors and clinics is even scarcer. The people here have to fight the epidemic on their own without receiving any medical care. Chogath is a farming community in the western state of Gujarat. It is home to about 7,400 people, according to the 2011 census. Earlier this week, Mr. Jeetu said that there were about 500-600 cases of Covid-19 in Chogath village. Villagers also reported a sudden increase in the number of people dying from the disease. However, there were not any doctors or medical staff in the village. Meanwhile, the nearest city is more than an hour’s drive from the village. There are clinics in a number of neighboring towns, but these also run out of beds and other necessary medical equipment. As the number of illnesses and deaths in Chogath village spiked, Mr. Jeetu took on the role of a doctor. With his experience as a pharmacist, Mr. Jeetu prescribes medicine and supplies oxygen to the patients in the village. “No one is here, there is no medical center, no doctors, no nurses. There are no medical facilities in this village. So I settled in the way I saw fit, ”Mr. Jeetu said. India is facing a severe Covid-19 crisis that takes place everywhere, from the capital New Delhi to the smallest villages and towns. The second wave of Covid-19 has made millions of people in India sick in the past month and thousands dying every day. With more than 23 million cases of Covid-19, India is now the second most affected country in the world after the US epidemic, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. In Chogath, the lack of medical resources forced people to travel to surrounding towns in hopes of finding hospital beds. Dinesh Makwana, a resident of the village of Chogath, said he tried to put his father with Covid-19 into four different hospitals in the neighboring towns, but there were no vacancies. He had no choice but to bring his father, who had been diagnosed with a serious illness, back home. “All villagers are afraid” “We were shocked by the second wave of Covid-19. The whole village was very shocked, everyone was scared, ”Mr. Makwana said. Makwana says that many people in the village died from Covid-19. “I am very scared. I worry my father will die, ”he said. Makwana tried to send her father with Covid-19 to four different hospitals in the neighboring towns, but all had no vacancies. Photo: CNN Jeetu has provided some medicine to help stabilize Makwana’s father. However, the Makwana family’s troubles are not over as his sister and mother are also sick. “I am very worried about my family. If I die my family will be broken. I’m not afraid of death, I’m just worried about my wife, ”said Makwana’s father, Jivraj. Girjashankar, 70, a resident of Chogath, helped families in the village cremate deceased loved ones. He cut wood from the forests and loaded it on tractors and drove it back to the village, preparing for cremation for the deceased. Mr. Girjashankar said that each year about 30 people in Chogath village died, but only in the past month they cremated 90 bodies. The Indian government attempted to cope with the Covid-19 crisis by sending oxygen supplies to various states and distributing aid from abroad. However, the scarcity of medical supplies means most aid will go to the most populous and most affected states. Therefore, small villages like Chogath have to fight the pandemic on their own. “We don’t have doctors. We have no way to get to the bigger hospitals, ”said Girjashankar. Jeetu said he was “very angry” at the fact that people here do not receive medical care and lack of help from the authorities. “What can I do by myself? We don’t have a solution, the people here are very poor, ”said Mr. Jeetu. The villagers of Chogath had no choice but to wait for help. “All the people in the village are scared. It has been 15-20 days no one left the house. Everyone feels scared, ”Makwana said.

Increase Armata. “With AI, Russia has created the world’s leading heavy and real robotic tanks. Armata can analyze the situation on the battlefield by himself to attack the most valuable target. After analysis, the vehicle has. can be fired automatically without the intervention of the crew or control center. What is special is that despite the integrated automatic operation, all the power and combat capabilities on the original Armata tank remain the same, “said General Manager Sergei Chemezov. According to the Russian general manager, the new Armata with standards on technical characteristics – tactics, loading system, cockpit structure and support equipment for firing control new. Armata will be equipped with a fully automated combat module that allows the turret to be used differently from traditional tanks. Meanwhile, Deputy Director of Tractor Plants Group (the unit assigned to design Armata), Mr. Mikhail Levshunov confirmed, Armata tanks will be equipped with an automated system that can automatically destroy the target. Select and it will shoot itself until the target is destroyed. He said that the remote control module research was conducted in the framework of research and manufacture of new army technical equipment models. Accordingly, the automatic system can destroy targets in the air and on land. Thanks to the heat detector, it can work all night, when it’s rainy and foggy. Especially while Russia is very confident about the combat strength of the Armata tank, the leading American magazine National Interest pointed out the backwardness of the artillery on both these tanks and the artillery of this tank. the tank front armor of modern Western tanks could not be penetrated. According to an analysis by American magazine, the main reason to say the 2А82 cannon of the Т-14 Armata is outdated is that it uses the same 125 mm size as the previous generation tank cannon. According to some sources, the artillery system was originally built to be fitted with modernized Т-90 tanks that were only intended for the Russian army. After that, with the development of the standard heavy chain chassis Armata, it was decided to equip the next generation tank. The barrel 2А82 is treated to increase elasticity and partially chromed, which greatly increases the durability of the cannon. This cannon can fire existing and future ammo types. Future ammo types could destroy not only existing tanks but also their future variants, as well as new tanks in development. Currently, Russia is testing advanced smart artillery shells for the Т-14, so the ability to destroy enemy tanks is even higher. Although the West underestimated, but the tank manufacturer Armata asserted, the barrel energy of the gun 2А82 is 1.17 times higher than that of NATO’s best cannon, the 120 mm L-55 gun. The Russian artillery is superior to all current tank guns 1,2-1,25 times in terms of technical level and penetrating ability.

From Till Bücker, tagesschau.de Combating climate change is hardly conceivable without electromobility. In order to remain competitive, the German producers are catching up after initial hesitation – especially Volkswagen. “Let me make one thing clear right away: The battery has won the race,” said VW boss Herbert Diess at a recent event. The battery won. It is the “only remaining option to get traffic CO2-free.” The Wolfsburg-based group is relying on the transformation like hardly any other car manufacturer. The company plans to invest around 35 billion euros in the coming years. Around 70 all-electric models are planned by 2030. 60 percent of all new VW cars should then run on batteries.

Electromobility in Germany is making headway

German drivers also seem to be slowly getting involved with e-mobility – among other things, thanks to purchase premiums from the federal government and many new models. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), more than 13 percent of new registrations in 2020 were purely electric cars or plug-in hybrids that are equipped with a combustion engine in addition to the battery. For comparison: in 2016 it was less than one percent. The rise continues this year as well. In March alone, every tenth new car was battery-electric. The market share of cars with alternative drives (battery, hybrid or hydrogen) is currently 37.6 percent and thus higher than ever, as the KBA announced last week. The most popular brand in the first quarter of 2021 is VW. According to its own information, the group currently has a market share in e-mobility of just over 34 percent in this country.

Tesla is the “benchmark”

Despite its top position in its home market, another group is still number one among electric cars worldwide: Tesla. The market share of the California-based automaker, which announced its quarterly figures on Monday evening, fell in Germany from 30 percent in 2019 to nine percent most recently. From a global perspective, however, boss Elon Musk’s company is still ahead. The company sold last year almost half a million e-cars . That was 36 percent more than in the previous year. In the first quarter of 2021, Tesla delivered 184,800 vehicles – a new record. Above all in what is probably the most important market for electric cars in China, the US group has escaped the Germans. Every third Tesla is sold in the People’s Republic. Even on American roads, there is no getting around the electric pioneer when it comes to e-cars with a market share of 80 percent, as the data from the US new registrations show. “Tesla is an important benchmark for us,” Diess recently admitted. The VW boss is an avowed fan of Musk, and he regularly describes his company as the measure of all things in the automotive world. According to the economic sociologist Andreas Boes, who investigated the effects of the Tesla shock on German industry on behalf of IG Metall, Tesla is the harbinger of a new mode of production. The e-car manufacturer gave the decisive impetus for the change in the automotive industry. “The company from California puts its finger in the wound,” said Boes at the Hanover fair.

Tesla with competitive advantages

But what are Tesla’s strengths? What makes Musk & Co. a pioneer? “Tesla has actually set benchmarks in certain areas,” emphasized Stefan Bratzel, Director of the Center of Automotive Management (CAM) at the Bergisch Gladbach University of Applied Sciences, in an interview with tagesschau.de . Without Tesla, electromobility would not have existed at this speed.

Stefan Bratzel is Director of the Center of Automotive Management (CAM) at the Bergisch Gladbach University of Applied Sciences. Image: picture alliance / dpa Competitive advantages are, for example, the competence in battery technology, the control of their superchargers – i.e. fast charging stations – and their reliability. The German carmakers reacted too late on these points, and there are deficits, especially in the area of ​​charging infrastructure. VW only presented its plan in March to build six so-called gigafactories for the production of battery cells and to set up 18,000 public fast charging points. Another great advantage of Tesla is the special vehicle architecture with its own operating systems and chips. Volkswagen, on the other hand, is buying the software. “That puts Tesla in a position to be better than the German competitors,” said the auto expert. Tesla also has a lead in the production area. You manage to pull up plants within a short time and the degree of automation is also higher.

VW can reach the masses

However, when it comes to innovation in the battery-electric field, VW is catching up a lot and is on Tesla’s heels. In addition, the German group also has pluses. With the modular e-drive kit (MEB) he developed a functional system for the production of e-cars, with which, according to Bratzel, a large number of models can be set up: “Volkswagen is a specialist in rolling out such a strategy for different brands, Segments and regions. ” While Tesla offers a rather narrow model range and has long relied on premium products with the Model S and Model X, the VW Group also includes the brands Audi, Porsche, Skoda and Seat in addition to its own models such as the ID. “VW sometimes takes a little longer to implement an innovation, but can then quickly bring it to the masses via the series,” says Bratzel. The Wolfsburg-based company intends to sell more than a million e-cars annually worldwide by 2025 – including medium and compact classes. Another trump card: VW already has a global production network. Tesla is also trying to build up that – among other things through the new plant in Grünheide – but is still far behind, according to the expert. Advantages of western manufacturers are also the quality of the body, the chassis and the workmanship of the interior.

Will VW become the world market leader?

So could the German carmaker pose a serious threat to Tesla? “If things go well, the VW Group will become world market leader in electric cars in 2022”, Ferdinand Dudenhöffer from the Duisburg CAR Institute recently claimed in an interview with “DER AKTIONÄR”. Expert Bratzel also agrees with this: “The large number of models in particular can mean that Volkswagen has a great chance of becoming the world’s largest manufacturer in 2022 or 2023 even with pure electromobility,” he predicts tagesschau.de . For a long time, Tesla led the field by a large margin. But now there are competitors who could be dangerous for the Californians. It now remains to be seen which new innovations Tesla will bring out in order to maintain the lead: “The race is getting a lot closer – both in terms of innovations and sales figures.”

(Image: Reuters) German Economy Minister Peter Altmaier April 24 said the country’s government is aiming to raise the forecast economic growth this year as industries are fighting well with the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In an interview, Mr. Altmaier said that in January, Germany gave its forecast of economic growth of 3%, but current data shows that the figure will be even higher. Last year, Europe’s largest economy declined 4.9% due to restrictive policies aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 translation . The set German Economy It is expected to publish an updated forecast on the economic growth outlook next week. According to Altmaier, Germany has reasons to be optimistic, as the statistics are better than expected amid industries benefiting from the global recovery. However, Altmaier admits that the COVID-19 anti-epidemic restriction policy – which is being tightened in Germany from the end of this week in an attempt to curb the third wave of infections – has particularly seriously affected sectors. sectors such as retail, culinary and hospitality. Still, Altmaier expects Germany’s economy to return to pre-pandemic levels by 2022. Last week, the leading German consulting organizations also warned that the current wave of pandemic will slow the recovery momentum, but it is still expected that Germany’s economy will grow 3.7% this year./.

Former Czech President Vaclav Klaus. Photo: TASS “We are punishing one of the great powers in the world … I see this as proof that our country does not have a proper foreign policy,” former Czech President Vaclav Klaus on April 23 told Blesk newspaper. is based in Prague, mentioning Czech-Russian diplomatic tensions, TASS reported. Mr. Vaclav Klaus also said that the fact that Czech diplomats tried to blame Russian intelligence for the Vrbetice explosion in 2014 and used it as an excuse to expel Russian diplomats, is an act of trying to score points with The United States and the NATO military in the hope of receiving support. According to Mr. Klaus, the Czechs were hasty in this case. He argued that Prague “should have waited for true and serious evidence” before making any conclusions regarding the Vrbetice explosion. “It was a mistake to issue an ultimatum to Russia before having the facts,” Klaus warned. The former Czech president also revealed that he had discussions with his successor, current Czech President Milos Zeman, about tensions with Russia and the explosion seven years ago in Vrbetice. Russia-Czech relations became strained after Prague last week expelled 18 Russian diplomats accused of being officers of intelligence services. Prague also questioned Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency was involved in the ammunition explosion in Vrbetice in October 2014 that caused two deaths. Russia denied all related allegations and asked 20 staff of the Czech Embassy in Moscow to leave Russian territory in response. Moscow’s strong retaliation surprised Czechs. On April 22, the Czech Republic again expelled 63 more Russian diplomats and staff, followed by corresponding action from Russia.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam delivered a speech at the meeting.

Australian troops and local forces in Afghanistan. Source: Australian Department of Defense

Since the US launched the war in Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban, along with the US and its allies, Australia has sent more than 39,000 troops to the country to join the war, of which 41 soldiers were killed.

Starting two years ago, when Australia had 1,500 troops, the country began the process of withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan to the current 80 soldiers.

Although from September 2021 there will be no Australian military presence in Afghanistan, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australia continues to support the peace process in this country.

“Australia continues to support peace negotiations between the Australian government and the Taliban. We encourage both sides to join the peace process in which many Australians have died for it. While reducing the military’s contribution to this process, we continue to support Afghanistan’s stability and development through our bilateral partnership programs as well as through coordination with other countries ” said Mr. Morrison.

Red tree bark flattened beetle

This beetle about half an inch long has a habitat from North Carolina to the Arctic Circle. They live under the bark of a tree and their bodies are purposefully designed to survive the harshest conditions in mid-winter.

The arctic climate in August acts like the resting climate for this species. In laboratories, they can withstand freezing temperatures up to -150 degrees Celsius.

In fact, this is the coldest we’ve ever seen. They can overcome this extreme cold by forcing 30-40% less water in the body and preserving the remaining water by using antifreeze proteins between the cell membranes.

Thyme beef

Muskrats have lived in the Arctic for a long time, from the ice age about 200,000 years ago. With double-layer coat, the first layer is a thick dark gray outer coat that reaches the ground long and the inner undercoat gives them very good resistance to cold to temperatures down to minus 40 degrees. , to withstand the rigors of the Arctic.

Muskrats live in herds from 12-24 in winter and 8-20 in summer. During the summer, musk cows live in humid areas, such as deep valleys, and move up into higher mountainous regions in winter. Their food includes arctic willow grass, lichen and moss under the snow. Thyme is raised for meat, milk and feathers. Currently this species is protected, so the number is kept at a stable level.

Great Greenland shark

The Greenland giant sharks live in deep waters in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions, and these giant sharks not only survive in the cold water, but also have the longest lifespan of any species. are there any vertebrae on the planet – an average of 300 to 500 years old.

Greenland giant sharks have an extremely slow metabolic rate that helps control temperature and prolong life, and they are also the largest shark, can reach 6.4m in length and weigh about 1,000kg . Therefore, this shark is also very slow, often only hunting prey that has gone to sleep.

The price for a 500-year-old shark’s longevity is also not small. Specifically, it not only swim very slowly, difficult to find food, but the body also contains many parasites. Sometimes it even has to eat scavengers to relieve its hunger.
