Norway threatens to ration electricity in fresh blow for UK and European energy supplies
N orway has drawn up plans to ration electricity exports in a move that has heightened fears of energy shortages in the UK and Europe this winter. The government in Oslo on Monday announced new rules limiting the sale of power to foreign countries as heatwaves threaten Norway’s hydroelectric power generation. Experts said the restrictions threatened the UK’s plan to draw power from Norway this winter via the North Sea Link - leaving electricity supplies more stretched and risking even higher bills for consumers. The National Grid has already revealed that the UK is set to be more dependent than ever on the Continent for power, with interconnectors expected to provide up to 5.7 gigawatts of electricity at peak times. About one quarter of that total – or 1.4 gigawatts – is set to come from Norway. Kathryn Porter, an energy consultant at Watt-Logic, said the proposed restrictions “put at risk the ability of Britain to import from Norway this winter”. “National Grid ESO needs to … [Read more...] about Norway threatens to ration electricity in fresh blow for UK and European energy supplies
Nadal wins record 14th French Open but foot pain puts future in doubt
Rafael Nadal pulled away to beat Casper Ruud 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 in the French Open final on Sunday for his 14th championship at Roland Garros and 22nd Grand Slam title overall, adding to two records he already owned. Nadal's victory came two days after his 36th birthday, making him the oldest title winner in the history of the clay-court tournament. Ruud led 3-1 in the second set, a deficit that spurred Nadal to raise his level — he took the last 11 games. Nadal played so crisply and cleanly, accumulating more than twice as many winners as Ruud, 37 to 16. Nadal also committed fewer unforced errors, making just 16 to Ruud's 26. When it ended with a down-the-line backhand from Nadal, he chucked his racket to the red clay he loves so much and covered his face with the taped-up fingers on both of his hands. The Spaniard's first triumph in Paris came in 2005 at age 19. No man or woman ever has won the singles trophy at any major event more than his 14 in Paris, and no man … [Read more...] about Nadal wins record 14th French Open but foot pain puts future in doubt
Lewis Hamilton agony “doesn’t surprise” osteopath who reveals long-term porpoising damage
As Lewis Hamilton clambered out of his Mercedes in Baku, a whole other side to the porpoising situation became very clear. Up to that point, it had been spoken about as a car performance issues. Some teams, such as Red Bull and Ferrari , had it handled fairly early, while others – notably Mercedes – continued to struggle the violent oscillations caused by the ground-effect aerodynamics reintroduced for Formula 1 cars this year. But the image of seven-time world champion Hamilton struggling to stand up straight, coupled with team-mate George Russell's revelation of back and chest pains, turned attention elsewhere. Performance is one thing, but the health and safety of the drivers was now very much in the spotlight. "I was not surprised, to be honest," said osteopath Gemma Fisher, when asked by Mirror Sport what her reaction was to those images. "With this sort of sport there is so much emphasis on the cars and the engineering, and people think the person operating … [Read more...] about Lewis Hamilton agony “doesn’t surprise” osteopath who reveals long-term porpoising damage

Sécheresse : une tragédie pour les agriculteurs européens
L’été 2018 restera dans les annales. Un peu partout en Europe, le thermomètre a atteint des sommets. Si ces chaleurs records ont rempli les plages du continent, dans les champs, les agriculteurs ont dû faire face à une situation dramatique dans bien des cas. De nombreuses exploitations ont été durement touchées par la sécheresse. Cette pénurie d’eau aura sans doute des incidences dans les mois à venir pour les exploitants, mais aussi pour les consommateurs. Sommes-nous à l'orée d'une crise à l'échelle européenne ? Au Royaume-Uni, les producteurs laitiers ont été les plus durement touchés. Certains ont dû se résoudre à envoyer des troupeaux entiers à l'abattage, n’ayant plus assez de fourrage pour nourrir leurs bêtes. Dans toute l’Europe, de nombreux agriculteurs ont dû ainsi se résoudre à puiser dans leurs réserves, normalement utilisées en hiver. Et dans certains cas, des exploitants ont dû attendre pratiquement un mois pour conduire leurs vaches à l’abattoir, comme nous l’a … [Read more...] about Sécheresse : une tragédie pour les agriculteurs européens

Will Ferrell’s Eurovision film is a love letter to the contest, but it needs more laughs
We didn’t get a Eurovision Song Contest this year, due the global pandemic, but we are getting Will Ferrell’s version of the iconic show instead. Back in 2018, the star was spotted in the crowd at the Lisbon grand final, soaking up his surroundings for inspiration for Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Eurovision fans greeted the news of the movie with trepidation. Would it make fun of Eurovision? Would it be portrayed as a cheese fest with bad songs and even worse costumes? But thankfully, and somewhat surprisingly, Eurovision Song Contest treats its source material with respect, and while it isn’t perfect, it’s a bit of a love letter to the greatest show on earth. Ferrell and Rachel McAdams play Lars and Sigrit, friends and members of the duo Fire Saga whose dream is to represent Iceland at the Eurovision Song Contest. Unfortunately for them, songstress Katiana (Demi Lovato) is a shoe in with her entry… but fortunately, Iceland don’t actually want to win … [Read more...] about Will Ferrell’s Eurovision film is a love letter to the contest, but it needs more laughs
