    Podcast Summary

    • Labour Leader Clarifies EU Stance, Tensions Between Ukraine and Russia EscalateLabour leader Keir Starmer assures no watering down of EU standards, while tensions between Ukraine and Russia escalate, causing concerns for both sides.

      Sir Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, clarified his stance on EU laws and regulations during a recent interview in Canada. He emphasized that a future Labour government would not water down standards in areas such as food safety and workers' rights, but would make laws according to the public interest. This stance aligns with current government policy. London Mayor Sadiq Khan expressed concerns about the current Brexit deal, stating that it's extreme and hinders businesses. Meanwhile, tensions between Ukraine and Russia continue to escalate, with reports of Ukraine supplying long-range missiles and Russia's Black Sea Fleet headquarters being hit in a missile strike. The situation is concerning Russian commanders, given Ukraine's past military successes against Russian assets.

    • Navigating Changes with FlexibilityAdaptability is crucial in military strategy, climate change, insurance, and celebrating special occasions. NASA's asteroid mission highlights the interconnectedness of the universe and the importance of exploration. Flexible options in insurance and gifts can lead to better outcomes.

      The world is experiencing significant changes, and adaptability is key to navigating these shifts. The attack on the navy headquarters is a reminder of the importance of flexibility in military strategy. Meanwhile, record-breaking deaths from extreme heat in England underscore the need for home improvements to keep living spaces comfortable and safe, especially as climate change intensifies. NASA's asteroid mission illustrates the interconnectedness of all things in the universe and the importance of exploration and discovery. Flexibility is also crucial in other aspects of life, such as insurance coverage and celebrating special occasions.

    Une plongée dans les abysses de la Méditerranée avec BathyBot

    Bathy Bot est le cousin lointain de Perseverance, Opportunity et Curiosity. Mais contrairement aux engins de la Nasa, ce robot mis au point par le CNRS ne va pas explorer la planète Mars. Sa mission se déroule sur Terre, à 2400 mètres de fond, en Méditerranée, au large de Toulon. Mis au point après cinq années de travaux, Bathy Bot et tous ses instruments viennent tout juste d'être immergés. Pendant 5 à 10 ans, peut-être plus, ce rover high-tech va étudier l'impact du changement climatique sur les fonds marins et le fonctionnement des organismes bioluminescents. Nathalie Michet en parle avec l'un des responsables du projet: Christian Tamburini, directeur de recherche au sein de l'Institut Méditerranéen d'Océanologie du CNRS.
