President Volodymyr Zelensky recognized a serious problem in the Ukrainian military posture, according to which ammunition and explosives are stored in locations too close to residential areas. This admission comes in a context of analysis of the current situation of the war in Ukraine.

Khalid Sacoor Jamal, president of the Institute for Portuguese-Arab Cooperation, is mentioned as an analyst of this situation. The institute he leads is an organization dedicated to cooperation between Portuguese-speaking and Arab countries.

Sacoor Jamal's analysis seeks to contextualize the most recent developments in the conflict, although the article does not provide specific details about the conclusions or recommendations he presents.

A landslide followed by flash floods devastated areas in Nepal and Tibet on Wednesday, causing the death of hundreds of people. Authorities are investigating the causes of the disaster, considering hypotheses such as a glacier collapse or a phenomenon known as "liquid cement," a mixture of water, sediments and rocks that can cause sudden floods with destructive force. Experts are beginning to warn about the growing threat of climate change in the Himalayas region, where accelerated glacial melting may be contributing to increasingly frequent catastrophic events.

Brussels guarantees it is working on the Spanish request for support from European agencies

The European Commission guaranteed it is working to respond to Spain's request for support from European agencies — Frontex, Europol and the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) — to screen the migrants who remain in Ceuta after the mass entry of more than 72,000 people in July. European Commissioner Magnus Brunner stated that the decision will be made quickly and that the priority is to guarantee the rapid return of all people who remain illegally in the autonomous city. Spain requested ten additional Frontex agents, EUAA assistance for interviews and interpreters, and greater cooperation with Europol in investigating trafficking networks. European funding for humanitarian aid in Ceuta was increased to 44.51 million euros. At least 82 people died trying to reach Ceuta by swimming, and it is estimated that around 8,000 illegal migrants still remain in the city.
