US military launches further strikes on Iran after Trump says Tehran ‘will pay’ for killing soldiers – Middle East crisis live

US Central Command says latest attack aimed at degrading Iranian military capabilities after president threatens country over deaths of US troops US expands Iran offensive as diplomats claim talks ongoing The price of oil jumped in early Asian trade on Monday after the US carried out its latest wave of strikes on Iran and a vessel caught fire in the strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. military is holding Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief’s direction. Continue reading...

“아이스크림 사줄게 같이 가자”…대낮 도심 초등생에게 접근한 ‘낯선 남성’

2000년대 초반도 아니고, 아이들도 스마트폰 들고 다니는 세상인데충남 천안시 두정동에서 한 남성이 초등학생들을 유괴하려 했다는 목격담이 전해지며 학부모들의 주의가 요구되고 있다.최근 SNS(소셜네트워크 서비스) 엑스(X·옛 트위터)에는 ‘낯선 모르는 사람은 절대로 따라가선 안 된다. 아이들은 큰 소리로 거절하는 방법을 교육야 한다’는 내용의 글이 올라왔다.제보자 A 씨는 “천안 두정동 인근 아이들은 낮에 조심해야 한다. 식사하러 가기 위해 필하우스아파트 뒤 골목을 지나가는데 한 아저씨가 초등학교 저학년으로 보이는 아이들에게 ‘어디 가니? 아이스크림 사줄 테니 같이 가자’고 말하는 것을 봤다”고 주장했다.이를 수상하게 여긴 A 씨는 아이들에게 다가가 “아는 분이냐”고 묻자 아이들은 “모르는 사람”이라고 답했다.이에 말을 건 남성은 A 씨에게 “당신이 왜 나서냐? 계속 끼어들 거냐?”고 따졌고, A 씨는 “앞으로도 이러면 계속 끼어들고 참견할 테니, 아저씨는 먼저 갈 길 가시

‘사람 문다’ 시민들 공포 키운 갈색여치…“산란기 맞아 활동 줄 것”

최근 서울 북부 산지를 중심으로 갈색여치가 잇따라 목격되며 시민 우려가 커지고 있다. 갈색여치는 사람을 먼저 공격하는 곤충은 아니지만, 위협을 느끼면 방어 행동으로 사람을 물 수 있어 주의가 필요하다. 다만 서울시는 이달부터 산란기에 접어들면서 생활권 피해가 줄어들 것으로 내다봤다.20일 오후 2시 서울 노원구 불암산 둘레길. 비가 그친 산책로 계단 곳곳에는 갈색여치 사체 몇 마리가 널브러져 있었다. 꼽등이를 닮은 생김새에 처음 본 시민들은 “내가 아는 여치가 맞냐?”며 흠칫 놀라기도 했다.최근 온라인에서는 갈색여치가 사람을 먼저 문다는 주장이 나오며 불안감이 커졌지만 서울시와 전문가는 과도하게 경계할 해충은 아니라고 입을 모았다. 갈색여치가 7월부터 산란기에 접어들면서 생활권에서의 활동이 줄어들 것으로 예상되기 때문이다.뉴스1 취재를 종합하면 서울시는 지난 13일 산림청 등 관계기관과 합동회의를 열고 갈색여치 발생 현황과 대응 방안 등을 논의했다.올해 서울시에 접수된 갈색여

잠실 개표소 진입 막은 ‘올다르크’ 구속 기로…오후 영장 심사

서울 송파구 올림픽공원 핸드볼경기장 개표소 봉쇄 시위 현장에서 체육단체 관계자들의 진입을 막아, 이른바 ‘올다르크’(올림픽공원+잔 다르크)로 불린 30대 여성이 21일 구속 갈림길에 선다.서울동부지법 서범준 영장전담 부장판사는 이날 오후 2시 30분부터 업무방해 혐의를 받는 30대 여성 A 씨에 대한 구속 전 피의자 심문(영장실질심사)을 진행한다.A 씨는 지난달 16일 성조기를 몸에 두르고 개표소 출입문 손잡이를 움켜쥔 채 올림픽공원 핸드볼경기장 사무실에 출입하려는 대한체육회 관계자들의 진입을 2시간 가까이 막은 혐의를 받는다.당시 장동혁 국민의힘 대표와 국민의힘 의원들은 번갈아 가며 A 씨를 설득했지만, A 씨가 끝까지 물러서지 않아 결국 진입은 무산됐다.경찰은 지난 10일 A 씨를 소환해 2시간 30분가량 조사했다. 당시 A 씨는 개표소를 막은 행위에 대해 “특정 정당의 이익이나 인물의 뜻을 따르기 위함이 아니었다”며 “국민의 한 사람으로서 우리의 한 표가 온전히 지켜지길

“월 1000만원 벌어 친동생 결혼 선물로 1000만원 줬더니…남편 발광”

월수입 1000만 원을 올리는 30대 워킹맘이 남편의 간섭을 받지 않고 쓰기로 약속하고 모아둔 통장의 돈 1000만 원을 남동생의 결혼 선물로 건넸다가 남편과 격한 갈등을 빚고 있다는 사연이 전해졌다.최근 한 온라인 커뮤니티에는 ‘월수입 1000만 원 찍고 남동생 결혼 선물로 1000만 원 줬더니 남편이 발광합니다’라는 제목의 글이 올라왔다.지방에서 두 자녀를 키우며 직장과 부업을 병행하고 있다는 30대 중반 A 씨는 “부업이 크게 성공하면서 직장 월급을 포함한 월수입이 1000만 원 정도가 됐다”며 “남편은 월 400만 원 정도를 벌고 있다”고 운을 뗐다.A 씨는 “나중에 수입이 언제든 줄어들 수 있다는 생각에 지금도 수입의 70% 이상을 저축하며 알뜰하게 살고 있다”고 설명했다.이들 부부는 결혼 초부터 양가 부모를 위한 별도의 통장을 운영해 왔다. A 씨는 “연초에 일정 금액을 ‘시댁 통장’과 ‘친정 통장’에 각각 일정 금액을 넣고 그 안에서는 서로 간섭하지 않기로 약속했

The Odyssey turned me into an IMAX believer

After seeing Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey for the first time early last week, I came away impressed, but somewhat conflicted about two of the film's more fantastical set pieces. While those scenes were beautifully crafted and tremendously acted, there was something a little bit off about the way they hit my eye. I spent days wondering what, exactly, wasn't quite working for me during that first theatrical viewing, and I thought that might have just been splitting hairs. But it wasn't until I saw the movie again over the weekend - this time in IMAX - that the issue became crystal clear. Though I'd heard all of the buzz about The Odyssey b … Read the full story at The Verge.

SpaceX in your index fund, explained

AUUUUUGH | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge, Getty Images Index funds are touted as one of the safest ways to invest. Rather than picking and choosing individual stocks, index funds let you bet on the market as a whole. So what happens when a company like SpaceX - a giant gamble, and, in my opinion, terribly overpriced - is fast-tracked into the Nasdaq-100? Does it suddenly threaten the stability of index funds based on the Nasdaq-100? Can a $1.77 trillion IPO crater the retirement funds of regular people who would ordinarily have no interest in investing in Elon Musk's meme stock? The answer has less to do with SpaceX and more to do with index funds - how they work, their history, and why they've … Read the full story at The Verge.

Slowdown in Arctic ice melt ends after largest winter decline on record

Scientists recorded slower reduction over past 20 years, but study finds this was ‘temporary rather than sustained’ A previously recorded slowdown in Arctic sea ice decline has ended, according to a new study, with the largest year-to-year wintertime reduction ever recorded. In a study published last summer, researchers found that melting sea ice in the Arctic had slowed down over the past 20 years, with no statistically significant decline in its extent recorded between 2005 and 2024.

Did you solve it? Do you think like a physicist?

The answer to today’s puzzle Earlier today I set you a puzzle about keeping homes cool in a heatwave. Here it is again with the solution. Imagine a room with a set of curtains. When the Sun is shining, its energy comes through the windows where it is absorbed by the curtains. The curtains get hotter and hotter until they reach a temperature at which they are radiating as much heat as they absorb. The curtains radiate 50 per cent of this heat back towards the window, and 50 per cent of the heat into the room. Continue reading...

‘Most people don’t know we’ve set up a doomsday system’: physicist Laura Grego on satellites, nuclear weapons and the battle for our skies

Elon Musk is trying to own it, competing powers are trying to fight in it and nobody seems to be regulating it. So who does space really belong to? The last time I saw Laura Grego was in a tent in a baking field on the Welsh borders in May. The conversation on stage ranged from the dangers of space debris to how the law of the sea might pertain to outer space; from our sense of the sacred to our interplanetary futures. At one point Grego, a physicist, said intently, “People have to be aware of what is happening in space. Public knowledge has to catch up.” Three weeks later, SpaceX launched on the stock exchange, temporarily making Elon Musk the world’s first trillionaire. So, I ask her now, what is it that we should all know? Well, she says, the average person’s experience of space is about to change. If, so far, that has been “looking at the stars and being full of wonder, full of connection with the universe”, perhaps noticing the occasional streaking object that was not a shooting star, now “there are plans for tens of thousands more satellites, which would really change your relationship with what you see in the sky”. SpaceX, specifically, has just applied to a federal regulator for permission to launch up to 1m of them. Continue reading...
