The European Space Agency (ESA) is in talks with Elon Musk’s SpaceX to take on launches for Brussels after the West was blocked from using Russia’s Soyuz rockets. The US rival to France’s Arianespace is in technical discussions with the bloc’s space authority to provide capacity for upcoming missions. The EU had been planning to use French-built Ariane 6 rockets for future space flights, but these have been repeatedly delayed, prompting talks with rivals to provide a stopgap. Josef Aschbacher, ESA director general, told Reuters that SpaceX, India and Japan were in the frame to provide launch services. He said: “One is SpaceX, that is clear, another one is possibly Japan. Japan is waiting for the inaugural flight of its next generation rocket. Another option could be India.” Work for the space agency would add another key client for SpaceX, which was founded by Tesla billionaire, Mr Musk . The rocket company has repeatedly secured launch contracts from the US Department of … [Read more...] about Europe in talks to replace Russian rockets with Elon Musk’s SpaceX

By Jenny Hill Published 8 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Cat owners in one German town will be allowed to let their pets out for the first time in three months when the authorities lift a special lockdown. People in Walldorf, in the south-west, were ordered in May to keep their cats indoors to protect an endangered bird. Cats were only allowed to venture outside if they were kept on a leash no more than two metres (6ft) in length. But the animals will again be allowed to roam free from 00:01 local time on Monday. If a cat escaped while the lockdown was in force, owners were told to call a special hotline, then find and detain the offending feline. Any breach would result in a fine. An owner whose animal injured or killed one of the protected birds had to pay up to €50,000 (£42,000). Authorities had been attempting to protect the local … [Read more...] about Cats to be freed from special lockdown in German town

Russian forces have been "publicly humiliated" by Ukraine's use of U.S-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) in Kherson, according to author Louise Mensch. Two key bridges into the Russian-occupied city of Kherson—which Kyiv has been working to retake— were heavily damaged by strikes on Wednesday, the British Ministry of Defence said. Ukrainian authorities reported on Saturday that the last working bridge over the river in the region had been damaged, further crippling Russian supply lines, according to The Associated Press. Mensch, a former Conservative member of Britain's parliament, described it as "the greatest tactical success in modern military history." Russian forces were "successfully baited into a giant motti, forced to run away," Mensch said. Newsweek could not independently verify whether any Russian forces had retreated. Alongside a video that apparently captured a HIMARS strike on the Antonivsky road bridge, Mensch wrote: "Not only is … [Read more...] about Russia “humiliated”‘ by Ukraine, U.S. HIMARS around Kherson: U.K. author

It wasn't just the wettest summer in decades and biting spring frosts that England's burgeoning sparkling wine industry had to deal with this year. Brexit has also cast a long shadow, whether it's labour shortages, missing shipments or bureaucratic headaches. The lack of staff has hit hard: winemakers say for the first time they have struggled to find enough pickers for harvest. Compounded by COVID restrictions, Brexit has led to a “sizable” reduction in the number of migrant labourers coming to England to pick grapes, according to Julia Trustram Eve, head of marketing at trade association WineGB. “It was the perfect storm,” she said. “Inevitably, an awful lot of migrant workers went back because of COVID, but they didn't return.” 'An absolute nightmare' Dermot Sugrue, a winemaker from West Sussex in southern England and credited with putting English sparkling wine on the map, agrees. “Brexit is arguably the biggest crisis this industry has faced,” he told … [Read more...] about A year since Brexit: English winemakers get creative to beat ‘nightmare’ labour shortages

Don't Pay UK, the campaign calling for mass non-payment of fuel bills, has been organised by hard-Left militants determined to create civil unrest and ‘break the system’, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. So far, Don’t Pay has maintained a cloak of anonymity, stating it was ‘started by a group of us who are friends’. To date, 105,000 people have pledged via the website to stop paying their energy bills from October 1 in response to soaring prices. Yet in reality, Don’t Pay is a political project whose organisers have links to a series of direct action campaigns including Extinction Rebellion and what they describe as ‘post-Corbyn projects’. At the heart of it is Alessio Lunghi, 44, a veteran of the anarchist scene and known to police across Europe for helping organise anti-capitalist riots.
