The four-decade-old ship is expected to be used mainly as a helicopter-capable platform. Indonesia will be the second Southeast Asian country to operate an aircraft carrier, 30 years after Thailand got its own. @GeoPWatch

Czechia Spent CZK 19 Billion on COVID Vaccines and Used Less Than Half The Czech Republic has spent roughly CZK 19 billion on COVID-19 vaccines since 2020, but fewer than half of the 41 million doses supplied under its pandemic-era procurement agreement were ultimately used in the country. More than 18 million doses expired and had to be destroyed, representing a value of about CZK 8 billion. A further four million doses were donated to other countries, according to information provided by the Czech Ministry of Health in response to a request from the Czech Technical Committee. For the 2026-27 vaccination season, around 900,000 doses will be available in the country. By comparison, fewer than one-third of that number was administered during the previous season. The vaccination season runs from September through the end of August the following year. Demand for COVID-19 vaccination has fallen sharply since the initial rollout. More than 15 million doses were administered during the first year vaccines were widely available. A year later, demand had fallen to roughly one-fifth of that level. Between 2022 and 2023, interest dropped by more than 80 percent, followed by further declines of about one-third in subsequent years. Only about 1,500 doses had been administered by July 26 this year. Most vaccinations, however,...

El chef José Andrés carga contra Israel por no ver delito en el asesinato de siete cooperantes de su ONG: "Queremos una investigación independiente" "Jamás ha habido excusa ni justificación alguna para los ataques, y esta versión no ofrece ninguna. La decisión es incompatible con la verdad y profundamente ofensiva", señalanUn ataque de Israel en Gaza mata a siete trabajadores humanitarios de World Central Kitchen, la ONG de José Andrés El chef José Andrés ha difundido este domingo un vídeo en el que critica duramente la decisión de la Fiscalía Militar de Israel de no investigar el ataque israelí que mató en Gaza a siete cooperantes de la World Central Kitchen, organización que él fundó. Mi mensaje para el oficial del IDF [Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel] que ordenó los ataques aéreos contra World Central Kitchen y a las personas que bombardean y difaman a los humanitarios — y a los líderes que tienen la responsabilidad de detenerlo, ha escrito el mediático cocinero español antes de su vídeo. La entidad también ha ofrecido un comunicado en su página web, en el que, al igual que José Andrés, recalcan que las FDI sabían que nuestro equipo en Gaza estaba desarmado y no representaba ninguna amenaza. Tenían una visión clara de nuestros vehículos humanitarios, claramente identificados [...]. Conocían de antemano los movimientos, la identidad y las actividades de nuestro equipo. Jamás ha habido excusa ni justificación alguna para los ataques, y esta versión no ofrece ninguna. La decisión es incompatible con la verdad y profundamente ofensiva, señalan. Desde la World Central Kitchen exigen verdad y justicia para el equipo y sus familias, además de una comisión independiente que investigue los ataques aéreos, porque las FDI no pueden investigar de forma creíble su propia conducta. Seguimos llorando a nuestros amigos, concluyen. Los siete trabajadores humanitarios se desplazaban por una zona no conflictiva en dos vehículos blindados con el logotipo de WCK y otro no blindado en abril de 2024. A pesar de haber coordinado sus movimientos con las Fuerzas de Defensa de Israel, el convoy fue alcanzado cuando abandonaba el almacén de Deir al-Balah, donde el equipo había descargado más de 100 toneladas de ayuda alimentaria humanitaria, explicaba la World Central Kitchen entonces. Todos ellos fallecieron. Eran de Australia, Polonia, Reino Unido, Palestina y un ciudadano con doble nacionalidad de Estados Unidos y Canadá. Según un informe difundido hace varios días por el Ejército israelí, la Fiscalía Militar determinó que las decisiones de ese día de los comandantes con respecto al convoy de World Central Kitchen no suscitaron sospechas razonables de conducta delictiva.
