Wien. Am 9. Oktober ist Österreich aufgerufen, einen Bundespräsidenten zu wählen. Mit anderen Worten: zu entscheiden, ob Alexander Van der Bellen weitere sechs Jahre in der Hofburg bleiben wird – oder nicht. Ganz Österreich? Nein, denn wie APA auf Basis von Daten der Statistik Austria errechnet hat, ist der Anteil der Wählerinnen und Wähler im Land in den letzten Jahren massiv gesunken. Grund dafür ist die große Zahl von Menschen, die hier ohne österreichische Staatsbürgerschaft leben....

“The decision to euthanize was made based on a global assessment of the persistent threat to human safety,” Norway’s fisheries director Frank Bakke-Jensen said in a statement. “We carefully considered all possible solutions. We concluded that we could not guarantee the welfare of the animal by any of the available means,” he said. Officials had previously said they were considering euthanasia because repeated pleas for the public to keep their distance from the 600-kilogram (1,300-pound) young woman were futile....

Vladimir Osechkin says he studied law because he wanted to go into law enforcement. Be a good sheriff, he tells me. But after a few bad brushes with Russia’s justice system – he says he was falsely accused of murder until the police found the right man, then years later he was shaken when the car sales empire he built became too big for his own Russian good – the his plans changed....

Zwischen den Sternen Alnitak, Saif und Rigel schwebt eine dichte, massive Wolke aus interstellarem Staub und Gas. Dies ist der Orionnebel, der in dem Material lebt, aus dem junge Sterne geboren werden, und eines der am meisten untersuchten und fotografierten Objekte in unserer Galaxie. Er erstreckt sich über 24 Lichtjahre und ist so nah und groß, dass er mit bloßem Auge gesehen werden kann. Aufgrund ihrer relativen Nähe (etwa 1....

The 75-year-old award-winning novelist described his elevation to the Companions of Honor in June as a “tremendous honour” and a “privilege”. It was a high point in a brilliant career overshadowed by the most extraordinary controversy the literary world has seen. Established in 1917 by George V, the Companions of Honor are awarded for long service in the arts, science, medicine or government. Rushdie certainly fits that bill. The author of more than 20 books, the Indian-born, rugby-educated, former advertising copywriter is not only prolific but also accomplished....

Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani speaks in Tehran, Iran. An Iranian government official denied on Monday that Tehran was involved in the attack on author Salman Rushdie, although he justified the stabbing in statements that represented the Islamic Republic’s first public comments on the attack. The comments by Nasser Kanaani, a spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, came more than two days after the attack on Rushdie in New York. The writer has now been taken off the ventilator and is “on the road to recovery,” according to his agent....

SIRMIONE Italy (AP) — Italy’s worst drought in decades has reduced Lake Garda, the country’s largest lake, to near the lowest level ever recorded, exposing sections of underwater rock and warming the water to temperatures approaching average in Caribbean Sea. Tourists flocking to the popular northern lake on Friday for the start of Italy’s major summer weekend found a very different landscape to previous years. An extensive stretch of bleached rock stretched away from the normal coastline, ringing the southern Sirmione peninsula with a yellow halo amid the green hues of the water and the trees on the shore....

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson limped off the field during the first quarter of Friday’s preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field with a knee injury. Wilson returned to the locker room after being examined by the medical staff. He was injured when he was scrambled and appeared to make an awkward cut after turning up. Gregg Rosenthal @greggrosenthal Zach Wilson’s injury was non-contact. He was swinging a defender in a match....

Kretschmer, stellvertretender Parteivorsitzender der CDU, wurde rundweg abgewiesen. Der Mann betreibe eher sächsische Innenpolitik als seriöse Außenpolitik, ärgerten sich Unionsmitglieder. Allerdings sind die deutsche Außen- und Innenpolitik in Kriegszeiten mittlerweile so eng miteinander verflochten, dass kein Ministerpräsident der Republik darüber hinwegsehen kann. Schon gar nicht in Dresden, das nur neun Autostunden von Lemberg entfernt ist. Doch was meinte Michael Kretschmer wirklich mit seiner Bitte? Und wen hat er angesprochen? So wie die Dinge liegen, kann nur der Aggressor den Konflikt einfrieren und unternimmt auch keine Anstalten dazu....

Kelvin Edmondson first rented out his Tillsonburg home in August of last year before starting work on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. While he was away, he said the tenants neglected to pay rent, including heating and hydro, and significantly damaged his property by housing multiple pets despite their original agreement. Edmondson said the tenants refused to leave on the agreed-upon move-in date of July 31. While financial records provided by the tenant show a portion of the rent was paid sporadically, Edmondson said he still owes him about $13,000 and is on the verge of losing the house....

“It’s harder than I ever dreamed it would be,” says Hopkins-Dargavel. “I had a very sick patient who had to cover the needle very quickly. And I put it out of my hand.” The patient was a hemophiliac who received hepatitis C-contaminated blood, which was then transferred to Hopkins-Dargavel. Her most recent treatment for hepatitis C was successful, but her liver is too badly damaged to recover. “So we’re hoping that once she cleared the Hep C there would be enough good liver for the liver to regenerate and get back to normal liver function,” says her husband Greg....

Posted: 09:39, 12 August 2022 | Updated: 10:58, August 12, 2022 Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has reportedly ignored warnings not to talk about his side’s chances of success this season. According to a report from ESPN, there was a feeling within the team that some public comments made by previous interim manager Ralph Rangnick about the team “affected” the players after their miserable season. It added that Ten Hag took no time to distance himself from the German’s harsh assessment of the squad, which included the squad needing “open heart surgery” this summer....
