- I tried to warn Valencia’s government about flooding, but it didn’t listen | Juan Bordera
The rightwing regional authorities ignored the climate-crisis science and dismissed the weather forecast – the consequences are their responsibilityJuan Bordera is a climate journalist and an independent MP for Compromís in the Valencian parliament It’s almost impossible to describe what we have experienced in the flooded villages and towns around the city of Valencia. Many of those villages and towns are in ruins, with at least 217 dead and others to be pulled out of the mud. There are many areas that still need urgent help. There are towns without water or electricity that have not been able to clean up. There are still flooded garages, buildings on the verge of collapse, and health problems that may result from the accumulated water.But what also defies belief is the regional Valencian government’s sheer negligence in its pre- and post-disaster management. Let me try to summarise some of the most serious shortcomings.Juan Bordera is a climate journalist and an independent MP for Compromís in the Valencian parliament.

- Clashes over budget could push Germany’s ailing coalition to collapse
With contradictory proposals unlikely to mesh, leaders to decide whether there is scope for alliance to continueWhen, in 2021, Olaf Scholz’s Social Democrats went into a “traffic light” coalition with the Greens and pro-business Free Democrats, the new government was riding high on an enthusiastic spirit of cooperation.There were promises to modernise, reinvigorate and green-proof Europe’s largest economy. Germany, the coalition partners said, had sleep-walked into a complacent state during 16 years of rule under Angela Merkel. The new trio in power would jolt the country out of its hubris, and deliver it into a new era of vigour and creative transformation. That, at least, was the idea. Continue reading...
- Ukraine war briefing: First clash with North Korean troops, say Ukrainian officials
What was described as a ‘small engagement’ in Kursk opens a ‘new page in instability in the world’, says Zelenskyy. What we know on day 987See all our coverage of the Russia-Ukraine warNorth Korean troops in Russia have come under Ukrainian fire, a Kyiv official said on Tuesday. “The first North Korean troops have already been shelled, in the Kursk region,” said Andrii Kovalenko, a member of Ukraine’s security council. The Ukrainian defence minister, Rustem Umerov, also said, in an interview with South Korean television, that he understood the first “small engagement” had occurred with the North Koreans. Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine’s president, said the first battles between the Ukrainian military and North Korean troops “open a new page in instability in the world”.A Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s south-eastern city of Zaporizhzhia on Tuesday killed six people, injured 23 and destroyed a critical infrastructure facility, Ukrainian officials said. Ivan Fedorov, the regional governor, said in a statement that a fire broke out as a result of the strike.Foreign ministers from the G7 democracies and three key allies said on Tuesday they were gravely concerned by the deployment of North Korean troops to Russia and the possibility they may be used in the war against Ukraine. “The DPRK’s [North Korea] direct support for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, besides showing Russia’s desperate efforts to compensate its losses, would mark a dangerous expansion of the conflict,” the ministers said. Besides G7 members the US, Japan, Italy, Britain, Germany, France and Canada, the statement was also signed by South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.The ministers said they condemned “in the strongest possible terms” increased military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, including Russia’s “unlawful procurement” of North Korean ballistic missiles. They said they were deeply concerned about the potential for transfer of nuclear or ballistic missile-related technology to North Korea, and would work with international partners “for a coordinated response to this new development”.An engineer at a factory that makes tanks for Russia’s war in Ukraine was jailed for 16 years on Tuesday after being convicted of committing state treason by passing military secrets to Kyiv. Weeks ago his wife received a similar sentence. The court in Sverdlovsk region said Danil Mukhametov, 32, who worked at the Uralvagonzavod tank factory, had partially admitted his guilt after being accused of passing unspecified technical military information to Ukraine’s intelligence services. Meanwhile a Russian court in the western Smolensk region jailed a man for 12 years for sabotage of the railways. Continue reading...
