NASA’s New Moon rocket suffered another dangerous fuel leak on Saturday, forcing launch controllers to abort their second attempt to send a crew capsule into lunar orbit with test dummies. The first attempt earlier in the week was also marred by a hydrogen leak, but those leaks were elsewhere on the 98-meter-long rocket, the most powerful ever built by NASA.

“We’re not looking for a gestural moment,” McCurdy said in an interview recently with the White House Historical Association, which acquires and funds official portraits of presidents and first ladies. “We’re looking for a more meditative or transcendent moment.” Wearing a black suit, white shirt and light gray tie with his hands in his pockets, Obama looks out of the canvas at the viewer with an enigmatic expression. Nothing else disturbs the composition....

Aid groups warn that the country’s suffering is far from over — and that as the disaster continues to unfold children will be among the most vulnerable. The floods — the result of a combination of record monsoon rains and melting glaciers in Pakistan’s northern mountains — have been described as the worst the country has ever seen. At one point more than a third of the country was under water, according to satellite images from the European Space Agency, and government and humanitarian organizations say 33 million people have been affected....

Four of those six were linked to Russian state energy giant Gazprom or one of its subsidiaries, while the other two were linked to Lukoil, Russia’s largest private oil and gas company. Earlier this year, the company took the unusual public stance of speaking out against Russia’s war in Ukraine, calling for support for the victims and an end to the conflict. Lukoil chairman Ravil Maganov died this week after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, according to Russian state news agency TASS....

Posté à 9h00 Elle ne le connaissait pas, le garçon qui l’avait maudite. Une fille de 10 ou 11 ans, qu’on appelle une pute. Son professeur, qui a peut-être 15 ans de plus qu’elle, a vécu à peu près la même chose lorsqu’elle était étudiante. En plus de harceler et de recevoir des menaces.

It is dark and the summer nights in central Ukraine are beginning to take on an autumnal chill. Two men and two women get off the bus with large plastic bags holding their only possessions.

As momentous as the death of Queen Elizabeth II may be after 70 years on the throne, it’s pretty much business as usual in terms of Canada’s governance. The monarch remains the constitutional head of state in this country, no matter who is filling the role at any given time, says Philippe Lagassé, an associate professor of international affairs at Carleton University and an expert on the role of the Crown in the Westminster system of government....

Truss’s call to Biden on Tuesday night followed a conversation with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and focused on what she called “the extreme economic problems caused by Putin’s war”. Biden and Truss “reinforced their commitment to strengthening global liberty, tackling the risks posed by autocracies and ensuring Putin fails in Ukraine”, according to Downing Street.
