L'étau se resserre autour de Kyivv, au 18ème jour de l'offensive russe en Ukraine. Présents dans la banlieue de la capitale, les soldats russes cherchaient ce samedi 12 mars à éliminer les défenses à l'Ouest et au Nord, pour encercler la ville. Selon les autorités ukrainiennes, des roquettes russes ont complètement détruit un aéroport au sud de la ville. Un entrepôt de pétrole , également touché, a pris feu.

Des milliers de réfugiés fuyant la guerre en Ukraine arrivent chaque jour en Pologne. Ils se déplacent sans masque et sont autorisés à entrer dans le pays sans certificat de vaccination ni preuve de tests négatifs au Covid-19. Pour le chef de la mission de recherche et de sauvetage en milieu urbain Jean-Claude Cordeau , le Covid passe au second plan : "Le Covid à ce poste frontière, ici, à Medyka, n'est évidemment pas une priorité. Pas une priorité pour nous et pas une priorité non plus pour les réfugiés qui arrivent. Nous nous occupons principalement de l'hypothermie chez les jeunes enfants et nous traitons les cas urgents afin qu'ils puissent poursuivre leur voyage. " Les réfugiés estiment aussi que les inquiétudes concernant le virus ont été éclipsées par le conflit, comme nous le confie Julia, originaire de Rivne : "Le Covid est une vraie maladie, mais c’est vrai que depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, le Covid a complètement disparu, car la guerre constitue un … [Read more...] about Ukraine : la guerre fait passer le Covid-19 au second plan

By now you might have heard that electric vehicles are fast . But R.J. Scaringe, the founder and CEO of Rivian, is out to prove they can also be fierce. He calls Rivian's all-electric SUV an adventure vehicle — something drivers could use to both tackle a trail and get their groceries. "We wanted the vehicles to truly be capable of going anywhere," Scaringe told CBS News' senior environmental correspondent Ben Tracy during a recent test drive at the company's test track in central Illinois. Rivian, which won the race to deliver the first all-electric pickup truck, is launching its SUV amid major questions about whether it can deliver on its ambitious goals. When the company went public late last year, its stock surge briefly made it one of most valuable automakers in the world, worth more than General Motors and Ford. But the stock has plummeted, and the road for Rivian has been pretty rough lately. It's been plagued by chronic production delays due in part to a … [Read more...] about CEO of all-electric truck company Rivian on his goals and recent setbacks: “You don’t start a car company immediately making money”

No one ever asks Lando Norris what it’s like to be a man at McLaren . Sisters Leena and Teena Gade, on the other hand, are always ready to rattle off their respective stock answers. The British engineers boast decades of experience between them, from F1 to rally, endurance and IndyCar , yet people often seem more interested in their gender than their expertise. Thursday marks International Women in Engineering Day but Leena, Senior Principal Race Engineer for McLaren’s Extreme E team, is frank when it comes to the incessant enquiry. “It’s so annoying,” said the elder Gade, who in 2011 became the first female race engineer to win 24 Hours of Le Mans, with repeat success in 2012 and 2014. “It’s like asking you to walk on the moon. You’ve got absolutely no idea, because I don’t see myself as a woman in motorsport. I’m an engineer first and foremost. When I wake up in the morning, the way I think, the way I operate, I’m an engineer. It’s a little bit frustrating … [Read more...] about McLaren sisters Leena and Teena Gade: ‘I don’t see myself as a woman in motorsport. I’m an engineer’

The entire industry is guilty of leering at competitors. This happens especially at early-season races, like the Tour Down Under, when a rider’s physique is callously judged in whispers and sideways glances on a scale of ‘Watch out!’ to ‘That fat f--- has no chance of winning the Tour de France.’ In a feature I wrote for Procycling magazine about mental health and wellbeing in the peloton, Richie Porte illustrated what it felt like to be at the receiving end. “If you turn up to race [in Europe] a couple of kilograms over what you were in the Tour Down Under, the amount of riders that say stuff to you is...” he trailed off. “In the modern world you don’t get away with commenting on that [weight], but you have riders and staff who think it’s their right to.” Porte, who finished third overall at the 2020 Tour in what was Australia’s second-best performance on general classification in the history of the race, is resigned to it. “When you see some of the food you can’t eat, and … [Read more...] about Fat shaming and problem eating: The dark side of the Tour de France

M y reaction to O. J. Simpson’s arrest for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman was atypical. It was 1994 . I was a young black man attending a historically black university in the majority-black city of Washington, D.C., with zero sympathy for Simpson, zero understanding of the sympathy he elicited from my people, and zero appreciation for the defense team’s claim that Simpson had been targeted because he was black. O. J. Simpson wasn’t black. He came of age in the 1960s—the era of Muhammad Ali’s opposition to the Vietnam War and John Carlos and Tommie Smith’s black-power salute at the 1968 Olympics. But the O. J. Simpson I knew, and the one poignantly depicted this year in Ezra Edelman’s epic documentary, O.J.: Made in America , recognized only one struggle—the struggle to advance O. J. Simpson. When the activist Harry Edwards attempted to enlist Simpson in the Olympic boycott, Simpson rebuffed him and later claimed that organizers like … [Read more...] about What O. J. Simpson Means to Me
