There was another meeting, I believe initiated by Mário Lino, on the occasion of the global economic crisis of 2008, in which, under the guidance of the European Union, investments should be accelerated. And the minister, within his competencies, asked us to analyze the possibility of accelerating some investments, namely high-speed, the Beira Baixa Line... This analysis was made and the minister is likely to have asked the prime minister to meet technically with us and with engineer Carlos Fernandes. However, in the session this Thursday of the trial of Operation Marquês, at the Central Criminal Court of Lisbon, the former Secretary of State for Transport Ana Paula Vitorino — who held the position in José Sócrates' first government from 2005 to 2009 — refuted any instruction from the main defendant of the trial. #OperaçãoMarquês #Sócrates #AnaPaulaVitorino (translated)
Nacho Montes de Oca wrote that Elon Musk had claimed the removal of Zelensky based on a clipping that, according to the author, had been manipulated by a MAGA account. He also noted that Ukraine's 7th Rapid Reaction Corps had reported to Reuters severe Starlink outages and restrictions on the frontline in the east and south, in the Donbas and Zaporizhia regions. Montes de Oca cited CNN, which reported that drone operators were experiencing connection interruptions of 10 to 20 seconds even at speeds of 110 to 120 km/h. According to the author, these outages destabilized the guidance of medium-range tactical attack drones in mid-flight, systems that he described as the core of the Russian attack. #Zelensky #Ucrania #Starlink (translated)
Nacho Montes de Oca argued that the limit imposed by Elon Musk on Starlink favored Putin and added to Donald Trump's cuts to the early warning system for Russian missiles. He stated that Ukraine had started to successfully use Starlink-guided interceptors to shoot down in-flight new Russian drones powered by reactors, which he described as faster than conventional Shahed drones. According to his writings, the limit of 160 km/h hindered the telemetry and control needed for these pursuits. Citing the Financial Times, Montes de Oca noted that mid-range interceptors needed to reach high speeds almost immediately to take off and stabilize. He added that signal loss when exceeding the limit could cause them to crash or lead to mission cancellations before takeoff. In his view, this increased vulnerability to ballistic attacks and high-speed drones, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure. #Ucrania #Drones #SeguridadNacional (translated)

George Russell said he made a mistake by miscalculating the track conditions and maintaining speed in the corner instead of easing off the throttle. He stated that he crossed the white line, which is inappropriate in the rain, and deemed the punishment severe in light of the error. https://t.co/ujOvJ48up8 #F1 #GeorgeRussell #Motores (translated)
