I årevis har danske vandselskaber arbejdet på at få stoppet brugen af sprøjtemidler på markerne oven på de områder, hvor de udvinder drikkevand. Trods høje ambitioner går arbejdet langsomt.

Kampen om jorden: Under landmændenes marker vil vandselskaber have ro til at dyrke drikkevandet

I årtier har vandselskaber arbejdet på at udtage marker, der sprøjtes med pesticider, over de drikkevandsdannende områder. Trods høje ambitioner går arbejdet langsomt

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

The Russian world continues to bring nothing but misery, pollution and death to Europe. An investigation has revealed that Russian 'shadow fleet' tankers are sailing unimpeded in European waters, leaving oil slicks near the continent's shores.

Onpas kerrassaan pelottava taulukko. Lisäkertoimen siihen pelottavuuteen antaa vielä se, että tällä kertaa fasismille ei ole olemassa vahvaa, ulkopuolelta tulevaa vastavoimaa.

Näyttääpä siis siltä, että fasismin kautta tässä mennään. Kuten olen pitkään pelännyt.

Henkiinjääneet sitten varmaan tajuavat, että olipa hölmö idea.

Following the interception of BORACAY / PUSHPA, two websites pretending to be the Benin Maritime Administration got removed from the Benin TLD (.bj). This was the websites that the false certificates pointed to.

This looks to me a lot like a government intervention

Happy to see my work pays off.

Denmark's military intelligence reports that Russian naval forces have aimed weapons at Danish warships and helicopters, disrupted navigation systems in key maritime straits, and even sailed collision courses, all clear provocations.

Innocent passage is indeed well-defined in UNCLOS, and does not include any act aimed at collecting information to the prejudice of the defence or security of the coastal State, the launching, landing or taking on board of any aircraft
or of any military device.

Finnish district court gives what essentially amounts to a non-verdict in the Eagle-S case, stating that Finland does not have jurisdiction over the incident as it happened in international waters. Not a completely surprising interpretation, but I would not be surprised to see it appealed.

Incidents of drone swarms over critical infrastructure in northern Germany. Kiel naval shipyard, a power plant, hospital, state parliament and the Kiel Canal. Initial view: espionage reconnaissance within hybrid pressure; operators unknown. Reports also near Heide and Rostock.

Democrats "blocked" this bill by ... not voting for it.

No dirty tricks or sneaky moves, they just didn't vote for a GOP bill. It needed 60 votes to pass, 53 Reps and 2 Dems voted for it.

That, according to the broken Washington Post, means Democrats Are To Blame even though the GOP runs it all.

The federal government was set to shut down at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, after Senate Democrats rejected a bill that would have extended the deadline and kept agencies open through Nov. 21.

The upper chamber voted 55-45 on the Republican-led proposal Tuesday night, which needed 60 votes to pass. Only two Democrats, Sens. John Fetterman (Pennsylvania) and Catherine Cortez Masto (Nevada), voted with the GOP for the measure, along with Angus King (I-Maine). Just one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (Kentucky), joined with Democrats in opposing it. Lawmakers had already voted down a Democratic alternative that was widely expected to fail.
