It had once exemplified Ukraine ’s pride in those who have served under its flag, helping wounded soldiers returning from the frontlines. Today, all that remains of the veterans’ rehabilitation centre in war-scarred Borodyanka is skeletal pillars. A direct hit from a Russian tank shell left behind what is now a ruined shell, surrounded by blossoming poppies. Ukraine’s government, however, is being supported by two British charities not just to rebuild, but to turn the facility into a world-leading institution for soldiers left with the devastating after-effects of frontline service. The Ukrainian Veterans’ Rehabilitation Centre was destroyed in early March as Moscow’s forces attacked the town, which lies 40km to the north of Kyiv. Two employees were killed and civilians were buried alive as entire residential apartment blocks were razed to the ground during Moscow’s aborted attempt to advance on the capital. Russian forces briefly occupied the town before their … [Read more...] about Ukraine vows to rebuild wounded heroes centre destroyed by Russian shelling

Drame de l’immigration clandestine aux USA : des dizaines de migrants meurent dans un camion
Les corps d'au moins 46 migrants ont été découverts dans un camion près de San Antonio, au Texas. Ce genre de camion est fréquemment utilisé par des migrants souhaitant entrer aux Etats-Unis. Un camion transportant des migrants a été découvert lundi avec 46 cadavres dans sa remorque à San Antonio, au Texas (sud des Etats-Unis), après une journée de forte chaleur, et trois personnes ont été interpellées , ont indiqué les autorités. Cette tragédie est l'une des pires en matière migratoire ces dernières années. Elle intervient cinq ans après un drame similaire dans la même ville, où dix clandestins avaient perdu la vie dans une remorque surchauffée.

Man who invented the mobile phone says people need to ‘get a life’
The inventor of the mobile phone has suggested that people who spend too much time on the device may want to rethink their priorities. Martin Cooper, a 93-year-old American engineer, was appearing on BBC Breakfast when he suggested people should stop scrolling and ‘get a life’. Cooper led the team at Motorola responsbile for the development of the first ever mobile phone in the 1970s. In 1973, he became the first person in history to make a handheld cellular phone call in public. Now widely credited as the ‘father of the cell phone’ he admitted he actually doesn’t use the device all that much. Mr Cooper explained during the interview that he probably spends less than 5 per cent of his time on his phone. When asked what he would say to those who spend upwards of five hours on theirs, he was incredulous. ‘You really spend five hours a day?’ he asked. ‘I would say “get a life!”. How much time do we spend on our phones? Whether keeping in touch with friends … [Read more...] about Man who invented the mobile phone says people need to ‘get a life’
L’agriculture angolaise est en pleine croissance malgré le Covid
Le Covid a bouleversé des pans entiers de l'économie, mais en Angola, le secteur agricole est en plein boom. La création dans la province de Cuanza Sul d'une ferme géante en l'espace de quelques mois malgré la pandémie en est l'illustration. Sur les immenses parcelles de la ferme Kaundo à Porto Amboim, plus de 500 hectares de terre ont été défrichées dont environ 400 ont déjà un haut rendement. Un exploit quand on sait qu'il y a à peine un an, ces terrains étaient à l'abandon. "L'une des meilleures terres que j'ai jamais vues" L'entreprise agricole angolaise Novagrolider a su tirer parti du potentiel de ce site de 10.000 hectares avec son microclimat attractif et ses sols riches et fertiles. "Cette terre est l'une des meilleures que j'ai jamais vues," assure João Macedo, le PDG de la société. "Après analyse, j'ai découvert qu'il n'y en avait pas de plus fertile en Angola," précise-t-il. Novagrolider a investi dans la création d'une exploitation qui a été fin … [Read more...] about L’agriculture angolaise est en pleine croissance malgré le Covid
En Angola, 40% des femmes sont entrepreneures
D'après une étude, environ 40% des Angolaises sont dirigeantes d'entreprise, l'un des plus forts taux à l'échelle mondiale.

Persona 4 Golden review – the social network
If you read our recent report on console sales in Japan you would’ve seen, in stark numerical form, exactly the depth of hole the PS Vita finds itself in. In Japan the fastest-selling game so far for the Vita has been Persona 4 Golden: an enhanced port of a four-year-old PlayStation 2 game. If you want to be uncharitable that probably says more about the Vita’s currently niche appeal than sales figures ever could. If you want to be entirely honestly though, you’d have to admit that Persona 4 Golden is one of the best role-playing games ever made. Although this is technically still a spin-off from the Shin Megami Tensei series its links to Persona 3 are obscure and references to the other games almost non-existent. The basic set-up is the same as previous Persona titles though, as you play an apparently ordinary secondary school student who is moved from the busy city to a smaller rural town. At first it seems a perfectly ordinary place, with the Japanese setting making … [Read more...] about Persona 4 Golden review – the social network
