Il mondo non si governa più da Washington: Putin, Xi e Trump verso un vertice storico

Un incontro tra Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping e Donald Trump potrebbe diventare uno degli appuntamenti diplomatici più importanti dell’anno. Secondo Yuri Ushakov, consigliere presidenziale russo, i leader di Russia, Cina e Stati Uniti hanno confermato la propria disponibilità a incontrarsi in occasione del prossimo vertice APEC, previsto a Shenzhen, in Cina. I preparativi sarebbero già in corso da parte degli organizzatori cinesi, mentre gli esperti avrebbero iniziato a lavorare sui possibili contenuti del colloquio.

Resta tuttavia da garantire la presenza simultanea dei tre presidenti. Ushakov ha precisato che, in uno scenario favorevole, l’incontro potrebbe entrare nell’agenda del vertice. La cautela diplomatica non nasconde la portata dell’iniziativa. Un confronto diretto tra i leader delle tre maggiori potenze avrebbe inevitabilmente ripercussioni sugli equilibri internazionali, dalla sicurezza globale ai conflitti in corso, fino alle relazioni economiche e commerciali. Il portavoce del Cremlino, Dmitrij Peskov, ha respinto i paragoni con una nuova Conferenza di Yalta, il vertice del 1945 nel quale Unione Sovietica, Stati Uniti e Regno Unito discussero l’assetto dell’Europa e dell’ordine internazionale dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale. Peskov ha tuttavia riconosciuto che un simile incontro avrebbe una rilevanza mondiale.

La differenza rispetto al passato è sostanziale: oggi il sistema internazionale è attraversato dall’ascesa della Cina, dal consolidamento della partnership strategica russo-cinese e dalla crescente difficoltà degli Stati Uniti di gestire unilateralmente le crisi globali. Un eventuale vertice a tre non significherebbe necessariamente un accordo su tutte le questioni, né la nascita di un nuovo direttorio mondiale. Potrebbe però aprire uno spazio di confronto diretto tra potenze i cui rapporti, tra competizione e cooperazione, condizionano sempre più il futuro del pianeta.

In un contesto segnato dalle tensioni geopolitiche e dalla crisi delle istituzioni internazionali, la disponibilità al dialogo rappresenterebbe già un segnale significativo. La vera posta in gioco sarà capire se le tre capitali riusciranno a trasformare questa apertura in iniziative concrete per la sicurezza e la stabilità globale.

La Cina trasforma lo spirito della Lunga Marcia in forza tecnologica e militare

La Cina celebra i 90 anni dalla vittoria della Lunga Marcia, trasformando la memoria della storica impresa dell’Armata Rossa in un simbolo dello sviluppo militare nazionale. Dai sottomarini nucleari Changzheng ai cacciatorpediniere Zunyi, i nomi legati all’epopea rivoluzionaria richiamano oggi la determinazione di Pechino a superare gli ostacoli attraverso l’autonomia tecnologica.

Come evidenziano i media cinesi, i sottomarini nucleari Changzheng sono arrivati alla terza generazione e hanno effettuato con successo test di missili strategici lanciati in immersione. Anche le navi da guerra di ultima generazione riflettono i progressi dell’industria militare nazionale.

Il richiamo alla Lunga Marcia non è soltanto commemorativo: Pechino lo presenta come un’eredità di forza, autosufficienza e coesione nazionale, da tradurre in capacità tecnologiche e militari sempre più avanzate. Un messaggio che lega la memoria rivoluzionaria alle ambizioni della Cina di rafforzare la propria autonomia strategica.

Cuba denuncia i ricatti USA

 

Il ministro degli Esteri cubano, Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, ha denunciato le pressioni esercitate dagli Stati Uniti sui governi stranieri per indurli a votare contro la risoluzione dell’ONU che chiede la fine del bloqueo contro Cuba, il cui esame è previsto per il 27 e 28 ottobre. Secondo L’Avana, Washington ricorre a minacce e ricatti diplomatici per contrastare il sostegno internazionale alla revoca delle sanzioni.

Rodríguez ha inoltre condannato l’inasprimento del ‘bloqueo’, compreso il blocco energetico che ostacola l’approvvigionamento di carburante, definendolo una forma di punizione collettiva con gravi conseguenze umanitarie. Il ministro ha ricordato che la politica statunitense mira a provocare carenze e malcontento nella popolazione, richiamando il Memorandum Mallory del 1960.

Secondo i dati presentati da Cuba alle Nazioni Unite, i danni accumulati in oltre sei decenni di blocco ammontano a circa 178,7 miliardi di dollari, mentre quelli registrati tra marzo 2025 e febbraio 2026 hanno raggiunto la cifra record di 8,08 miliardi di dollari.

Rodríguez ha infine invitato i governi a resistere alle pressioni di Washington e a sostenere la fine delle sanzioni.

Publishers seek safeguards over suspected AI book-buying spree

Korean publishers are calling for stronger copyright protections and compensation as bulk book purchase requests suspected of being linked to artificial intelligence (AI) training raise concerns over intellectual property theft. Publishing groups are investigating suspicious orders and seeking a coordinated response. However, authors and publishers face a fundamental obstacle: they often cannot know for sure whether their books are being used to train AI systems. Kyobo Book Centre, a bookstore chain in Korea, said on Wednesday that 10 overseas companies, including businesses in the United States and Britain, had approached it since early this year, each seeking only one copy of roughly 100,000 titles. “Many introduced themselves as book wholesalers,” a Kyobo official was quoted as saying by Yonhap News Agency Tuesday. The official added that some denied an AI training purpose but identified data-related companies as the final recipients. The bookseller declined the request because it could not rule out the use of AI training. Yes24, another bookstore, also reportedly received an inqui

Korea's int'l student boom puts universities to new test

SINGAPORE, LONDON, SEOUL — Korea reached its goal of attracting 300,000 international students ahead of schedule. Now comes the harder part. As the government shifts its focus from quantity to quality, universities face a tougher test of whether they can turn rising enrollment into quality education, meaningful career opportunities and long-term talent retention. Under its Study Korea 300K initiative launched in 2023, the government set a target of attracting 300,000 international students by 2027. It reached that milestone early, with enrollment climbing to 307,464 this year, according to the Ministry of Education. Yet the gap between recruitment and retention remains wide, raising questions about whether universities are equipped to deliver on the government's new priorities. Despite a surge in international enrollment, Korea continues to struggle to retain foreign graduates. Of the 36,271 international students who graduated from Korean universities between August 2023 and February 2024, 42.9 percent left Korea, while fewer than 5,000 secured employment in the country.

Kentucky bourbon master eyes global expansion with Korean bartenders

Jefferson’s Bourbon founder Trey Zoeller was in Seoul last week for a special event in Korea, offering a unique opportunity to introduce his Kentucky-based brand to Korean consumers. It marked the finale of a six-month program involving 40 Korean bartenders who explored the brand and developed their own cocktails using its bourbon. Zoeller, who founded the brand with his father, Chet Zoeller, in 1997, came to Korea to recognize the bartenders whose cocktails for the Camp Jefferson program sold the most and best reflected his vision for the brand. In 2023, Zoeller and his late father were inducted into the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame. During the event, he shared insights into the brand with the participating bartenders, explaining how his passion for outdoor adventure helped shape its identity beyond bourbon-making traditions. Zoeller said he was surprised to see his bourbon transformed into a variety of creative cocktails he had never imagined before. “I loved it. There was so much creativity that came through so many different variations of products that I never had. I tasted every

Así es la “medusa inmortal” que podría dar pistas sobre cómo frenar el envejecimiento humano

21 October 2026 at 23:20
Los equipos científicos de Estados Unidos, Italia y España investigan las claves genéticas del fenómeno para evaluar aplicaciones en terapias contra patologías asociadas al envejecimiento humano (Imagen Ilustrativa Infobae)

La Turritopsis dohrnii, una medusa translúcida de apenas unos milímetros, es el único animal conocido capaz de revertir su organismo adulto a un estado juvenil y reiniciar su ciclo vital. Equipos científicos de Estados Unidos, Italia y España estudian los mecanismos genéticos detrás de ese fenómeno, con el objetivo de trasladar los hallazgos a la medicina humana para tratar patologías vinculadas al envejecimiento.

La bióloga marina Maria Miglietta, de la Universidad Texas A&M en Galveston, sometió a estos animales a condiciones letales: los cortó, hirvió, privó de comida y expuso a agua dulce. En todos los casos sobrevivieron, por lo que la investigadora describió ante la BBC que “a partir de una sola medusa que no muere, se obtiene una colonia capaz de generar cientos más”.

Ante el estrés extremo, la medusa pierde su forma adulta y genera cientos de nuevos ejemplares

Cuando enfrenta condiciones adversas —falta de alimento, exceso de salinidad o temperaturas extremas—, el animal se hunde, pierde su característica silueta de paraguas con tentáculos y se transforma en una masa celular. En un plazo de uno a tres días, de esa estructura brota un pólipo, propio de las primeras etapas de su desarrollo.

Ese pólipo da lugar a una colonia de la que surgen nuevas medusas, cada una con la capacidad teórica de repetir el mismo ciclo. El biólogo Stefano Piraino, de la Universidad del Salento, Italia, identificó el proceso central del fenómeno: durante el rejuvenecimiento, ciertos tejidos experimentan transdiferenciación, un mecanismo por el cual las células adultas pierden su función especializada, regresan a un estado similar al de las células madre y luego se convierten en tipos celulares distintos para formar el nuevo pólipo.

Aunque algunos lagartos, gusanos y anfibios regeneran partes de su cuerpo, ningún otro animal revierte un organismo completo a una fase previa. Esa singularidad convierte a esta especie en un caso de estudio único en biología.

Los científicos buscan un “interruptor” molecular aplicable a tejidos humanos

El oncólogo pediátrico Michael Koldobskiy, de la Universidad Johns Hopkins, aclaró que la meta no es regresar a las personas a un estado embrionario, sino inducir a células y tejidos a recuperar características juveniles. En ese sentido, reconoció que “estamos muy lejos de aprovechar eso para el beneficio humano”, aunque subrayó que comprender organismos que desarrollaron estos procesos hace millones de años “podría realmente dar sus frutos”.

De concretarse, ese mecanismo permitiría acelerar la curación de heridas, reparar tejidos dañados tras un accidente cerebrovascular o un infarto, e incluso contrarrestar la pérdida de visión asociada a la edad o la neurodegeneración propia del Alzheimer. El propio Koldobskiy se mostró optimista al señalar que “a nivel de órganos y tejidos, es algo perfectamente posible”.

En la actualidad, Miglietta colabora con el equipo de Johns Hopkins para profundizar en estos procesos y evaluar si resulta viable inducirlos en células humanas. La ciencia ya encontró formas de provocar dinámicas similares al rejuvenecimiento en mamíferos, pero su aplicación clínica resultó compleja.

El ADN de esta medusa contiene más genes de reparación que especies emparentadas

Una investigación encabezada por María Pascual-Torner, del Instituto de Ciencias del Mar de España, y el biólogo molecular Víctor Quesada, de la Universidad de Oviedo, comparó la información genética de la medusa inmortal con la de una especie cercana que carece de esa capacidad regenerativa.

Los resultados mostraron que el ADN de la medusa inmortal contiene más copias de genes vinculados a la reparación de mutaciones y al mantenimiento de los telómeros, las estructuras protectoras en los extremos de las cadenas de ADN que se acortan con el tiempo. Para Quesada, esa mayor dotación genética podría ser una de las claves de su longevidad y señaló que “quizás exista una forma de volver atrás, si aprendemos lo suficiente sobre cómo funcionan esos mecanismos”.

Miglietta detectó una mayor actividad de esos mismos genes durante la fase de quiste, el momento en que las células revierten su función. Un hallazgo preliminar adicional encontró coincidencias entre esos marcadores y otros asociados a la longevidad en seres humanos, lo que refuerza la hipótesis de mecanismos compartidos entre ambas especies.

Esta criatura, sin embargo, presenta limitaciones. En el laboratorio, la bióloga observó ejemplares incapaces de rejuvenecer y considera probable que exista un número finito de ciclos antes de la muerte natural. En su hábitat, la escasez de plancton, los depredadores y las algas que asfixian las colonias reducen sus posibilidades de supervivencia. Pascual-Torner lo resumió con claridad: “Aunque posee la capacidad de rejuvenecer, es un organismo extremadamente vulnerable”.

Municípios querem acelerar construção de habitação pública em Portugal

21 October 2026 at 23:17

Os municípios estão “disponíveis e motivados” para ajudar o Estado a aumentar a oferta de habitação pública e trabalham com entidades para reprogramar prioridades do Portugal2030 e acelerar a burocracia, disse a ANMP.

Em declarações à Lusa, no final de uma reunião do Conselho Diretivo da Associação Nacional de Municípios Portugueses (ANMP), em Mourão, no distrito de Évora, o presidente da associação, Pedro Pimpão, destacou que “há, efetivamente, do ponto de vista da proposta do Orçamento do Estado [para 2027], um reforço das verbas destinadas à habitação”, uma área que “é uma preocupação” para os municípios.

“Nós assumimos esse compromisso de ajudarmos o Estado português a aumentar a habitação pública no nosso país, nos nossos municípios. E, portanto, esse reforço de verbas que possa existir, seja pela linha do Banco Europeu de Investimento [BEI], seja por outros mecanismos, nomeadamente no Portugal2030, que nos ajude a aumentar a resposta pública no parque habitacional, nós estamos disponíveis e estamos motivados para esse desígnio”, afirmou.

Pedro Pimpão sublinhou que a ANMP defende “o reforço de verbas destinadas exclusivamente à habitação e, nomeadamente, à habitação com preços controlados”.

Defende também “uma maior agilização e simplificação dos processos” para que esses procedimentos, sendo mais rápidos, consigam alcançar o objetivo de “criar condições para aumentar a habitação pública no país”.

Pimpão sublinhou que os municípios estão atualmente a trabalhar com entidades com responsabilidade nesta área, em particular com o IHRU (Instituto da Habitação e da Reabilitação Urbana), mas também com as comissões de desenvolvimento regional, no âmbito da reprogramação das prioridades do Portugal 2030 e também para que os procedimentos “sejam os mais céleres possíveis”.

“Todas as alterações que vierem no sentido de desburocratizar e de simplificar o processo são bem-vindas”, sublinhou.

O autarca sublinhou ainda que os municípios portugueses têm sido responsáveis pelo grosso do investimento público a nível nacional, sendo, “neste momento, responsáveis por 40% do investimento público, a nível nacional, na área da saúde, da educação e também da habitação”.

How will Trump’s mass deportation agenda shape the US midterm elections? Our reporters answer your questions live

With ICE arrests and detentions at their highest levels, immigration remains a key issue for voters less than two weeks before election day.

Cheryl Bath, Wisconsin asks in a callout question: During covid I was surprised to learn how many foreign workers, especially from Mexico, worked in the Wisconsin farm fields. And now, I was more surprised to learn that these workers would also be deported and not allowed to work any longer at these fields even though it was all legal with paperwork. These foreign workers paid into the federal government taxes and social security system which was a plus for U.S. social security. I’ve been wondering how these Wisconsin farms are dealing with the absence of these workers seeing how it is harvesting time right now. Propublica had a article a year or so ago about the effects of this immigration sweep on the workers and the farms but that was still when the workers were still here. I can’t find any follow up or information on this anywhere. I think the farmers really feel left out to deal with this on their own and no one is asking questions. Maybe you can?

Maanvi: Cattle ranchers and dairy farmers have indeed been pushing for immigration reform, not only recently, but for years – because the industry relies so heavily on immigrant labor. In September, the the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, Kansas Livestock Association, and Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association issued a joint warning that ICE operations were threatening their industy, and would have “a massive chilling effect on the legal, documented, skilled workers that put beef on the table and keep the supply chain moving”. I recently spoke with Matt Teagarden, CEO of the Kansas Livestock Association, who said that the US cattle herd has shrunk to its lowest numbers in 75 years – and ranchers are struggling to keep up with consumer demand. Farms aren’t able to expand operations without immigrant labor – and Teagarden said that this could mean that US consumers will increasingly be eating imported beef. He also noticed that ICE crackdowns are having a systemic impact on agriculture – it’s not only dairy or cattle industry workers who are impacted, but also farmworkers who grow the feed for cows, and immigrant workers who process the dairy and meat before it gets to grocery stores. Two-thirds of farm workers are non-citizen immigrants. As the administration targets these workers, food producers could struggle to keep up operations, and prices are expected to increase steeply, according to a study by the thinktank Fwd.us.

José: Many people caught up in the Trump administration’s dragnet are workers in the US — they pay taxes and contribute to Social Security, while receiving almost none of the benefits. The process to gain asylum or remain in the US can be long and arduous — oftentimes, as undocumented people go through the process, they will receive work permits, Social Security numbers and, in certain states, driver’s licenses. Now, many people with those legal work permits have been arrested by federal immigration officials and sit in detention centers, waiting for their immigration cases to proceed.

Ukraine’s Navy killed Russian Shahed: one drone boat launched another drone, which shot down third, all unmanned, all at sea

      One drone launched another drone, which then shot down a third. All three were unmanned, and all at sea off Ukraine.

      Ukraine’s Navy has destroyed a Russian Shahed attack drone with a Sting interceptor launched from the Sargan 3000 unmanned surface vessel, the Navy said, showing sailors adapting to new aerial threats with sea-launched interceptors.

      Russian Shaheds threaten Ukraine’s ports, coastline and the ships that approach them, so meeting those drones out at sea, before they reach land, matters for the whole southern defense.

      The Sting is built to destroy Russian kamikaze drones such as the Shahed, Geran and Lancet, as well as reconnaissance drones, with quick deployment, a short training course and a top speed of 280 km/h, its producer, Wild Hornets, says.

      The interceptor that has become Ukraine’s Shahed-killer

      The Sting has earned its place at the front. The Ukrainian FPV interceptor has proven highly effective in combat, with a typical hit rate of 80 to 90% depending on the unit, and on some days reaching 100 percent, one launch for one kill.

      It is currently Ukraine’s most productive Shahed interceptor, according to the Wild Hornets, having destroyed more than 3,000 drones in its first seven months of use. Mounting it on a sea platform extends that record from land into the Black Sea.

      A drone boat that keeps finding new ways to kill

      The Sargan 3000 has become a multi-purpose hunter. In July, Ukrainian naval personnel used a Sargan 3000 to sink a Russian second-rank border patrol ship.

      In October, the same drone boat shot down a Russian Shahed with a turret-mounted machine gun over the Black Sea. Ukraine’s Navy took the Sargan 3000 into service in April 2026, and the drone boat has a combat radius of up to 1,600 kilometers, letting it clear the sky far from shore without putting a sailor in range.
