MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay (AP) — Brazil striker Neymar suffered a serious-looking left knee injury during his national team’s 2-0 loss at Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night.Uruguay’s goals came on a header by Darwin Núnez in the 42nd minute and a close-range finish by Nicolás de la Cruz in the 77th. It was Brazil’s first defeat in 37 matches of World Cup qualifying.Neymar, a 31-year-old making his 128th appearance for Brazil, left the field in tears after being surrounded by players from both teams. With and without Neymar, Brazil had its worst performance under new coach Fernando Diniz, who will remain in the job at least until next year’s Copa America. “In the short run we need to be realistic, we need to improve,” Brazil captain Casemiro said. “For Neymar to leave the match it is surely something serious. But I hope it isn’t at the end. He has had those injuries whenever he starts picking up his pace again, it is hard.”Later Tuesday, World Cup winner Ar...

What causes broken rails? Train expert explains after Colorado derailment

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:23:16 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Federal investigators have released preliminary information showing a broken rail likely caused the Colorado train derailment near Pueblo on Sunday.That derailment killed a truck driver on Interstate 25 and has led to an indefinite closure of the interstate. The National Transportation Safety Board released its preliminary findings on Tuesday. What is Prop HH? Voters to decide on property taxes and TABOR dollars Train derailment investigator Gary Wolf told FOX31 that broken rails are a common cause of derailments.“The rails are made of high-quality steel, but occasionally, there can be an imperfection in the rail," Wolf said. "These can develop quickly or sometimes they develop slowly, and when they do, they start cracking out the railroad. And eventually, it results in the rail breaking part, and obviously, you lose continuity in the rail surface and the wheels go down and hit the ground.”Train cars moved off the highway after a derailment on a bridge across ...

It was a late night for members of the Broward County Public School Board, while they discussed controversial coursework and tensions ran high during the conversation. One speaker was taken away by police during the meeting in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday. “Those statistics go up, new cases of HIV, AIDS, go up, if we are not educating our children about what it means to engage in sexual intercourse in science-based ways,” said one woman who spoke to board members. “Start to teach our children that ‘Mostly girls have vulvas and mostly boys have penises’. Well, that’s not true,” said another woman. Parents and other participants in the meeting clashed over a revised sexual education curriculum for Broward County students.

Hydropower: The only sustainable European energy transition

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:23:16 GMT

The world is at a crucial turning point in the fight against climate change, where every decision and contribution count toward achieving the ambitious and necessary goal of climate neutrality by 2050 and limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5C. In light of this well-established fact, hydropower appears to be an indispensable and forward-looking solution with development potential to shape Europe’s clean-energy future.According to a recent study by the International Energy Agency (IEA), more efforts are needed, on a global scale, to recognize hydropower plants as a reliable backbone of clean energy systems and support them accordingly[i].In the European Union, hydropower accounts for 32 percent of the renewable electricity generation and supplies 12 percent of the EU’s total electricity[ii] — a significant but still underexploited source in view not only of the challenges posed by climate change, but also regarding energy security and the increasing need for sys...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:23:16 GMT

It’s clear that if we want to protect our planet, we have no choice but to continue investing in infrastructure to help us curb packaging pollution.And that’s exactly the intention behind the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)  — it’s a mandate to slow down the steady increase of packaging waste before it’s too late.However, the regulation also presents dangerous changes with the potential to harm shared environmental goals, such as achieving net-zero carbon emissions, and thwart progress already being made towards long-term, innovative solutions. It’s clear that if we want to protect our planet, we have no choice but to continue investing in infrastructure to help us curb packaging pollution.PPWR is the most consequential reform left to settle before this current EU term comes to a close. It stands to impact almost everything around us, from items and products we use every day, like foodstuffs and digital devices, to the clothing we wear, and the convenience that ...

EU packaging plan must respect the role of recycling, reuse and refill  

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 18:23:16 GMT

The coming weeks will be key for the beverage and packaging industries, and for European consumers. The members of the Environment Committee in the European Parliament are set to vote on their amendments to the draft EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the member countries will try to agree on a common position. This legislation will have a tremendous impact on the way we produce and use beverage packaging. That’s why it is so crucial to get it right.Several of the proposed measures under discussion are simply not realistic, specifically regarding reuse and refill.While the intentions behind the PPWR are good and the EU’s goal of reducing packaging and packaging waste is to be praised, several of the proposed measures under discussion are simply not realistic, specifically regarding reuse and refill. They risk undermining all the successful efforts that beverage manufacturers have been making to provide circular packaging solutions. We don’t believe that this is w...
