Better than Musk: Rogozin spoke about a new rocket to replace Soyuz-2
Roskosmos plans to create a Soyuz-LNG launch vehicle with a reusable first stage, which will surpass SpaceX’s Falcon 9 in terms of the estimated number of launches, … RIA Novosti, 08/07/2020
MOSCOW, Aug 7 – RIA Novosti.Roscosmos plans to create a Soyuz-LNG launch vehicle with a reusable first stage that will surpass Falcon 9 from SpaceX by the estimated number of launches, the general director of Roscosmos said in an interview with RIA Novosti Dmitry Rogozin.
“To replace Soyuz-2, we are making a methane-fueled rocket. It will initially be created as a reusable rocket and space complex. Not a“ semi-reusable ”, as in SpaceX, but reusable,” Rogozin said.
He explained that such a rocket would be capable of 100 flights. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is designed for ten launches.
At the same time, according to Rogozin, the Russian engineers of the reusable rocket, although they look at the developments of their American colleagues, do not repeat them, but try to surpass them.
In September 2019, Roskosmos announced that the cost of manufacturing a new reusable Russian medium-class rocket with a methane engine would amount to about 900 million rubles. Its launch will cost about $ 40.5 million. The new rocket will be able to launch nine tons of cargo from the Vostochny cosmodrome into low-earth orbit, and 2.2 tons to the geostationary orbit.

CFDT secretary general Laurent Berger had very harsh words on Saturday, May 9, against the CGT. The latter obtained the closure of the Renault-Sandouville plant in court. A court seized in summary judgment considered that the safety of the workers was not guaranteed. The Normandy site, which produces utility vehicles, employs nearly 2,000 people. Activity resumed there on April 28 after a month and a half of interruption due to coronavirus. This reopening had been validated by a health protocol signed by the CFDT, CFE-CGC and FO, after a “Fairly exemplary social dialogue”, according to Laurent Berger.
“Irresponsible posture”
On France Inter, on Saturday May 9, Laurent Berger denounced the attitude of the power station managed by Philippe Martinez. “The posture of the CGT is irresponsible and unfounded (…) This closure forced by the appeal of the CGT is very serious”, denounces Laurent Berger. Same story with Force Ouvrière. In a press release published Friday, May 8, the metallurgy (FO-metals) branch had mentioned “A hostage-taking by the CGT and the justice of the 2,000 employees and 700 temporary workers of the factory”
The Havre court, seized by the CGT, condemned Thursday in summary proceedings Renault “To suspend the resumption of production” because it does not “Does not ensure (…) the safety of workers”. According to the management of Renault, which appealed, “The court’s decision mainly concerns the procedures for presenting all of the preventive measures to staff representative institutions”.
Dramatic drop in sales
“We must stop this type of practice (…) I am so that we value local social dialogue and that we get out of sterile power struggles”, added Laurent Berger. “The reality is that the factory will remain closed on Monday and that 700 temporary workers will be sent home. It is not a service rendered to workers ”, he lamented.
Toyota, Renault… car manufacturers are slowly boosting production in France
Other Renault factories have been operating again for ten days, including that of Flins in the Yvelines, without the courts having been seized. Like many car manufacturers, the Renault group is facing a dizzying drop in sales. Registrations dropped nearly 84% in April.

Eleven days after welcoming her new puppy Rita, Susana Giménez said she returned her. The reason? He bit her a lot. Of course, he remarked that he will return to his house in a month. He wants to receive her again, educated, hoping that he won’t bite her anymore.
In this context, Nicole Neumann disagreed with the attitude of the driver. But it was not the only one: Leo Montero also criticized her without a filter in the pet adoption segment of her show, Best of Night (El Nueve).
“DON’T RETURN BOUGHT DOGS, LIKE ELDERLY LADIES. DON’T DO THAT, DON’T DO THAT.”
“It is an antique to buy dogs, do not buy dogs … Do not return purchased dogs, like older ladies. Don’t do that, you don’t do that, ”he started saying, referring clearly to Susana.
“That is not done. It is not a diver that if you do not like you return it. First, it is not bought because the dogs are not interested. And if they adopt a puppy, hold her. What do they want? What does not break? What not mee? That I don’t shit? That doesn’t bark? You little ones, didn’t you chew and didn’t shit? Well, the puppies anyway. On top of that, they do it faster than us ”, he added, angry.

“PUPPIES ARE NOT GIVEN AND ARE NOT RETURNED. YOU DO NOT RETURN AN UNCLE OR A SON.”
Before closing, he compared the responsibility of having a pet to raising a child. “Puppies are not given away and they are not returned. You do not give back an uncle or a son. Another living being wants to get used to you and has to have his place. Therefore, they have to be responsible. And that is why we always do I echo this (adoption) as a contract of responsibility. Do not give away or return dogs or cats, for the love of God, “he said.
WORLD: Mr. Laschet, are we building a redistribution and nationalization republic here with the spending of tens of billions?
Armin Laschet: If the state almost completely paralyzes public and economic life due to a pandemic, then the state must also have concepts to start it up again. And now it is important to keep the damage caused by the pandemic as low as possible – health, economic and social. It is easier to close everything than to gently develop resuscitation concepts.
WORLD: What does this spending program also mean together with the aid for Europe for the German taxpayer? Or even better: for generations of German taxpayers?

Osnabruck Federal Minister of Labor Hubertus Heil does not want to run for the SPD for the chancellorship. Heil told the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung (Wednesday) that he had no ambitions to apply for the office. At the same time, he praised the work of his party colleague Olaf Scholz: “Basically, Olaf Scholz does an excellent job. I experience that every day. ”The question currently is who the SPD will send to the Bundestag election next year, but“ not in the foreground, ”said Heil.
Salvation had been brought into play by former chancellor Gerhard Schröder among others as a possible candidate for chancellor for the SPD. Among other things, Schröder also mentioned Scholz as a possible candidate.
According to the “Insa opinion trend” for the “Bild” newspaper (Tuesday), the SPD is currently 15 percent. It would be in third place behind Union (38.5 percent) and Greens (16 percent). The Grand Coalition of Union and SPD as well as a black-green alliance would have a majority.

After sixteen months of an unprecedented political crisis in the history of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his ex-rival Benny Gantz understood that a return to the polls was unthinkable and agreed on Monday April 20 to form a union government, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic.
→ LIVE. Coronavirus: classes for a maximum of 15 students on May 11 announces Blanquer
A three-year pact
Their pact, lasting three years, provides for the formation of a cabinet “Bipartisan” with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first 18 months while the party of Benny Gantz will inherit the ministry of defense. After this period, the latter will in turn lead the government. A situation that Israel had already experienced when the Labor Shimon Peres, former defense minister, and Yitzhak Shamir, of Likud, had formed a government of national unity during which they succeeded each other as prime minister in 1984 and 1988 respectively.
According to the preamble to the agreement signed Monday evening, the government must fight for six months against the Coronavirus – more than 13,000 people infected and more than 170 deaths – and its economic consequences: an unemployment rate dropped from 3.6% to 26%. And, top priority, it must vote the state budget.
Two weeks ago, Benny Gantz could count on a disparate majority of 61 deputies out of 120. But, having decided to join Netanyahu, contrary to his commitments, but according to him “To deal with the coronavirus pandemic”, he caused his party to implode. Now, he relies on 17 elected officials, against 59 in the bloc formed by Likud and its allies.
Fair distribution of order items
The division of power is accompanied by provisions allowing each of the two men to neutralize each other. Thus, without the green light from Likud, it is impossible for Gantz to change the status quo in religious matters, or to amend the disputed law on “Israel, the nation state of the Jewish people”. Conversely, Netanyahu will use his brakes until July to present to the cabinet his bill to annex sectors in the occupied West Bank, such as the Jordan Valley, for which he will have to obtain the green light from Donald Trump.
The fair distribution of all control stations has been carefully detailed. Including within parliamentary commissions, or the committee for the appointment of judges. Benjamin Netanyahu will be able to veto the choice of the next state prosecutor as his trial for “corruption”, “fraud” and “breach of trust” begins on May 24.
If the Supreme Court decides to deny him access to power in light of his legal troubles, new elections would be inevitable. Otherwise, he can use his functions to drag out the procedure. Even if it enrages the militants of the Black Flags movement who are demonstrating to defend democracy.
They were divided into two interdisciplinary teams that perform 7-day guards; so if any of them show symptoms, the other team can continue the work. Preventive medicine, animal welfare and rehabilitation of rescued marine fauna continue.
Marine World Quarantine keepers: how animal welfare is guaranteed during the pandemic They were divided into two interdisciplinary teams that perform 7-day guards; so if any of them show symptoms, the other team can continue the work. Preventive medicine, animal welfare and rehabilitation of rescued marine fauna continue. They were divided into two interdisciplinary teams that perform 7-day guards; so if any of them show symptoms, the other team can continue the work. Preventive medicine, animal welfare and rehabilitation of rescued marine fauna continue.
In a context such as that experienced today due to the recent pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus, conservation institutions around the world were challenged to take rapid sanitary precautionary measures to protect their personnel and animals under your care. For example, from the Mundo Marino Educational Park and the Mundo Marino Foundation, a week before President Alberto Fernández decreed Preventive and Mandatory Social Isolation, the area responsible for the care of the Park’s fauna had already put into practice safe management protocols. to protect personnel and at the same time guarantee the care and welfare of animals.
To do this, the social distancing guidelines defined by the World Health Organization and the National Ministry of Health were followed, and it was established that the maintenance and essential care personnel related to the care and life support of animals followed with their daily tasks, however adapting to the new reality: “Faced with the context of quarantine, what we did was divide ourselves into guards from two groups that alternate every 7 days. This was organized to ensure that should one group have to isolate themselves, the other would normally be able to continue caring for the animals. It is a kind of reinsurance to prevent all caregivers, veterinarians and technicians from having to isolate themselves at the same time if any one becomes infected ”, explains Juan Pablo Loureiro, Veterinary Technical Director of Mundo Marino.
For her part, Florencia Speciale, in charge of the team dedicated to caring for the group of cetaceans rescued and born in the Park, stated: “Faced with this situation, when we transferred the guard, we carried out a deep disinfection of all areas in that we had access to leave everything as safe as possible for our colleagues. We are learning day by day how to behave and how to take care of coworkers, animals and also our families when we return home. ” And he added: “Beyond our concrete work, I believe that this pandemic exposed as never before the social need to strengthen ties of solidarity and care not only between humans but also with nature. When it becomes so evident that caring for the other is also caring for everything you love, and when we see that nature flourishes when we give it a break, we cannot help but reflect on our way of life and its impact. ”
Environmental enrichment and animal welfare
Beyond quarantine and the new procedures established to, paradoxically, “care for caregivers”, there are routines that remain unchanged. One of those routines are activities called environmental enrichment. Basically they consist of a series of games and stimuli that keep them active both physically and mentally to increase the welfare standards of each of the animals that live in the park. “These games are part of the activities that each animal needs to do to stay in its best physical condition and find stimulating challenges for its cognitive development and general well-being. This practice is essential and despite the context it is carried out every day. For us, that the animals are active and stimulated is as important as their diet, because it is about taking care of their cognitive well-being ”, says Florencia Speciale.
Guaranteed animal nutrition
To guarantee the balanced feeding of all the animals that Mundo Marino cares for, the team from the Nutrition and Logistics department prepares between 400 and 500 kilos daily in nutritionally balanced rations of fish, mainly blond croaker, kingfish and saraca. In the case of feeding terrestrial animals “monthly, we receive more or less 4 tons of corn and oats, 300 bales and 14 tons of balancing specific to each species,” says Diego Masuzzo, in charge of the sector. The manager explains that even with equipment reduced by the security protocol, “the distribution is carried out normally and in the same quality conditions as always. Every morning the priority is to prepare food for each of the sectors. All food suppliers are complying with their deliveries and the supply is guaranteed, since both the production and distribution of food are essential activities except in the decree of Mandatory Social and Preventive Isolation ”.
Special care for apes rescued from mascotism
A special case occurs with apes. In the Educational Park lives a group of carayá monkeys (Alouatta caraya) rescued from illegal mascotism and a group of caí monkeys (Sapajus nigritus) derived by the control authorities after the municipal institution in which they lived closed. In both cases, these are animals that cannot return to the wild. This pandemic represents an extra challenge for the caretakers of the Park who are in contact with these animals since recently the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the United Nations Alliance for the Survival of Great Apes (GRASP) they explained that great apes are susceptible to infection with respiratory human pathogens. Although neither the carayá monkeys nor the caí monkeys are classified as great apes, it was decided to increase the precautions to take care of them. “We plan a special routine of care and environmental enrichment limiting direct contact with this type of animal only to unavoidable veterinary issues. It is a more rigid protocol than with other animals. We do it with your protection in mind ”, reaffirms Dario Mininni, in charge of the area responsible for the care of the carayá monkeys.
The rescue and rehabilitation center
For its part, the Rescue and Rehabilitation Center of the Mundo Marino Foundation continues with the recovery treatments of the animals entered into its facilities before the period of mandatory quarantine and, although the Foundation team cannot go out to carry out rescues, yes They continue to operate receiving animals rescued by the security forces and authorized organizations. In this sense, since the compulsory quarantine began, they received two Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus). One was taken by the Mar de Ajó Naval Prefecture and the second by the Punta Rasa lifeguard from San Clemente.
There are currently 29 animals in the Rescue Center in recovery: 27 Magellanic penguins, 1 Erect-crested penguin that has an amputated leg (Eudyptes sclateri) and a sea elephant (Mirounga leonina) with a severe neck injury. In the case of Magellanic penguins, the animals have been entering in recent months with signs of malnutrition, dehydration and high parasite load.
In addition, 7 land animals could be reinserted during the morning of Thursday, April 16, in a field near the Bahía Samborombón Reserve. All these animals entered between December 2019 and January of the current year and were rehabilitated by the area specialized in land animals and birds of the Park. Thus, 2 chimangos (Phalcoboenus chimango), 2 taguató (Rupornis magnirostris), 1 snake-necked turtle (Hydromedusa tectifera), 1 viscous owl (Athene cunicularia) and 1 weasel (Didelphis albiventris) were reinserted.
In the case of birds of prey, all were found and brought to rehabilitation by residents of the area. Both chimangos were admitted with low weight and one of them with an oral infection. The two taguats were found in their nest and brought in because their mother had died. In the case of the vizcachera owl, the bird entered with the feathers of its right wing completely cut off, making it unable to fly. The snake-necked turtle came from illegal mascotism, since it was kept by a neighbor of the area at his home and he decided to take it to a specialized center. Finally, the weasel was found in an urban area with head and spinal trauma, presumably from a blow. Although with sequels to move, the animal was able to rehabilitate itself and regain its natural abilities to be reinserted.
Ecosystem destruction and the danger of new pandemics
The latest epidemics and pandemics recorded on the planet have the same zoonotic origin. This situation should call us to reflection and alert us to a very specific situation: as human progress on ecosystems increases, the probability of health catastrophes increases. Ignacio Peña, veterinary doctor at the Mundo Marino Foundation who in 2019 traveled as a volunteer to the Bolivian Amazon to assist animals affected by fires in that region, assures: “As we devastate the natural ecosystem of many species, they have no other option than to approach urban centers and expose people to zoonotic diseases. Consider the recent fires in Bolivia or Australia. Animals in these habitats in pursuit of fleeing the heat of the flames have no choice but to migrate and expose themselves to areas where we live. The SARS-VOC 2 pandemic is not the first example, nor will it be the last, unless we change our way of relating to the rest of the planet. ”
Berlin / Madrid Three days before the EU summit, a compromise is emerging as to how EU states particularly affected by the corona crisis could be given more support. You can imagine a significant increase in the EU budget and bonds backed by guarantees from member states, said Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday.
According to experts, this could help to find a middle ground between the demands of the Euro countries and the Netherlands, for example, which categorically exclude Eurobonds.
Merkel’s comments also indicate a clear departure from Germany’s position in the EU budget negotiations for the period up to 2027. Up until now, Germany, like some other net contributors, had urged that payments to Brussels not increase far beyond one percent of national economic output.
Now, in view of the corona crisis, Merkel said: “I can very well imagine that (the EU budget) must have completely different financial options in the first years after the pandemic.” According to Reuters, the top of the Union parliamentary group has now also accepted significantly higher German EU payments to Brussels.
Merkel also pledged to help countries like Italy, Spain and France. “Germany not only wants to show solidarity, it will also show solidarity,” emphasized the Chancellor. This goes beyond the € 500 billion aid package that the EU finance ministers had already agreed on.
“But that has to be within the framework of today’s contracts,” said Merkel about the debate on Eurobonds. She had already rejected such joint government bonds with joint liability in the CDU Presidium that morning.
Merkel looks at Article 122 in the EU Treaty
According to Merkel, the decisive lever for grants to Italy or Spain could now be Article 122, paragraph 2 in the EU Treaty. As with the agreed short-time work allowance at EU level, this allows bonds to be passed on to countries through guarantees from the Member States.
“I can also imagine such instruments,” said Merkel with reference to the EU switch on Thursday. The advantage for Italy would be, for example, that cheaper EU money would come from such EU bonds than if it itself took out national loans.
According to an EU diplomat, Merkel, France’s President Emmanuel Macron, Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, his Spanish and Dutch colleagues Pedro Sanchez and Mark Rutte, EU Council President Charles Michel and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called on Monday evening to talk to each other prepare on Thursday. At first, no details were known.
Spain wants to end dispute over Eurobonds
Spain had previously announced that it would end the deadlocked dispute over Eurobonds. Prime Minister Sanchez is now thinking of a package worth EUR 1.5 trillion, in which the EU Commission could take out loans secured via the EU budget, the Foreign Ministry said in Madrid. This comes close to Merkel’s ideas.
The background to the debate is that southern European countries such as Italy, Spain and France consider the additional loans already agreed by the EU finance ministers via the ESM euro rescue mechanism and the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the agreed European short-time work allowance to be insufficient.
On Friday, the European Parliament (EP) had already spoken out for additional aid via the EU budget and secured bonds. “This is the compromise between Italy and the Netherlands,” Daniel Caspary, Chairman of the German EPP group in the EP, said to Reuters.
With such an instrument, Italy would neither have to accept a troika with conditions on the use of funds, as the Netherlands had requested for ESM loans. However, the aid is not unconditional as requested by Italy.
Merkel also emphasized that the corona crisis hit the countries “through no fault of their own”. “This is not the result of any shortcomings in economic policy or other things,” she said in view of the debate in the Netherlands and Italy, for example, to make reform requirements for loans.
She indicated that Germany was even ready to discuss new EU treaties, but added: “But then it takes two or three years. And we will need quick answers to the pandemic. “
