Based on observations by NASA’s Galileo orbiter, they believe reservoirs of salty liquid may lie within the moon’s icy shell – some close to the surface of the ice and many miles below. A new study has suggested that shallow lakes cause plume or volcanic activity on the surface of the Jovian moon in its icy crust. The findings support the long-held idea that water could potentially erupt above Europa’s surface either as vapor plumes or as cryovolcanic activity....

There has been no market price subsidy on this scale in British history. Estimates of the final bill for taxpayers range from £100bn to £200bn, or more than the annual cost of running the NHS – if the scheme for households lasts for two years, as promised, and the separate one for all businesses is in place for six months, to pursue a less ambitious business plan for another 18 months....

The system does not yet have a name, but the National Hurricane Center said a tropical depression, the precursor to a tropical storm, formed Friday morning about 600 miles east of Jamaica. Forecasters expect it to intensify quickly this weekend before hitting Cuba late Monday into Tuesday and then barreling northward — likely toward the west coast of Florida. The storm could be as strong as a Category 2 or 3 hurricane when it approaches Florida Tuesday through Wednesday, though forecast strength is uncertain....

Le taux d’attrition augmentera Ce samedi, le taux d’attrition va augmenter. Qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ? Les établissements de crédit pourront accorder des prêts à un taux d’intérêt plus élevé. La Banque de France recalcule le taux d’attrition tous les trimestres. Elle a annoncé en septembre qu’elle allait l’augmenter “de manière bien proportionnelle […] en accord avec le Ministère de l’Economie et des Finances ». “Cela permettra, dans le respect de la loi, de résoudre les situations d’accès au crédit les plus difficiles survenues ces dernières semaines”, ajoute la Banque de France....

Wenn US-Präsidenten ins Ausland reisen, bleibt das dort meist nicht unbemerkt: Staatsempfänge, massive Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, gesperrte Straßen sind an der Tagesordnung. Beim Staatsbegräbnis von Königin Elizabeth II. hielt sich US-Präsident Joe Biden – und mit ihm die meisten Staats- und Regierungschefs, Kronprinzen und Würdenträger – im Hintergrund. Wie ein hochrangiger US-Beamter sagte: „Es ist nicht unsere Show. Es ist die britische Show.” Biden und seine Frau Jill seien seit ihrer Ankunft in London am Samstagabend nur wenige Male in der Öffentlichkeit aufgetreten, als sie sich – ohne stundenlanges Anstehen – vom Sarg der Königin in der Westminster Hall verabschiedeten, schrieb er in Lancaster in ein Kondolenzbuch ....

Halifax said the market had been roughly flat since June but was now heading for a more significant slowdown as soaring borrowing costs made buying a property unaffordable for more people. “The housing market may already have entered a longer period of slower growth,” said Kim Kinnaird, director of Halifax Mortgages. “The prospect of interest rates continuing to rise sharply amid a cost-of-living squeeze, plus the impact of recent weeks of higher mortgage lending costs on affordability, is likely to put more significant downward pressure on house prices in the coming months....

The move, which includes broad travel restrictions including vehicle checks and “economic mobilization” across much of western and southern Russia, is the latest escalation by Putin as his military continues to concede ground in Ukraine. Demanding “the entire system of state administration” to contribute to the war effort, Putin on Wednesday authorized Russia’s governors to maintain public order, secure supplies for the armed forces and protect vital infrastructure. The measures, which are a step below martial law, cover eight regions bordering Ukraine, including the Crimean peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014....

Ο υπουργός Επιχειρήσεων ήταν θετικός για την επανέναρξη του fracking στην Αγγλία μετά από ένα σχεδόν τριετές μορατόριουμ, λέγοντας ότι το τρέχον όριο μεγέθους 0,5 για την αποφυγή πρόκλησης μίνι σεισμών ήταν «γελοία χαμηλό». Οι εταιρείες που θέλουν να ανοίξουν ένα νέο φρεάτιο fracking θα μπορούσαν να «πηγαίνουν από πόρτα σε πόρτα, όπως κάνουν οι πολιτικοί στις εκλογές και να ρωτούν τους ανθρώπους εάν θα συναινούσαν», πρότεινε ο Rees-Mogg. «Τότε πρέπει να πάνε σε μια αναγνωρίσιμη κοινότητα και αν πάρουν 50% συν ένα υπέρ, τότε θα πρέπει να μπορέσουν να προχωρήσουν», είπε στην περιθωριακή εκδήλωση του Chopper’s Politics που διοργανώθηκε από την Telegraph στο συνέδριο των Συντηρητικών στο Μπέρμιγχαμ....

As described by the provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry earlier this month, the new combination vaccine — containing a mix of spike protein elements from both the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and the Omicron variant, BA.1 — will be offered to adults 18 and older, and young 12- to 17-year-olds who are at higher risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19.

President Joe Biden is in Florida to witness the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, once again shining a spotlight on his frosty relationship with Gov. Ron DeSandis, the embattled Republican leader he could challenge the Democrat for the presidency in 2024.
