three goals in four minutes in the middle of a lopsided first half, Spain shattered Costa Rica\u2019s resistance with a resounding 3-0 win\u00a0on Friday.\u00a0 \n\nSpeculation that Spain was a team weakened by injuries was misleading, as La Roja controlled more than 80% of possession by halftime with 15 shots on the opposition goal.\u00a0\u00a0 \n\nThe dominant first half was enough for the win, as a relatively quiet second half didn\u2019t hurt one of the tournament's favourites.\u00a0 \n\nThough they attacked relentlessly, Spain needed 22 minutes until it opened the scoring courtesy of an own goal. Aitana Bonmati cut the ball back across goal from the left and Valeria del Campo, attempting to clear, sliced the ball into her own net. \n\nBonmati scored herself a minute later, striking the ball hard and low from the edge of the box. Two minutes later, Esther Gonzalez was on hand to add the third. It mattered little when Jennifer Hermoso missed from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute, her shot saved by Daniela Solera. \n\nSwitzerland open with a convincing win over Philippines \n\nRamona Bachmann's first-half penalty and Seraina Piubel's strike in the second half led Switzerland to a 2-0 win over the Philippines on Friday in the Women\u2019s World Cup opener for both teams. \n\nBachmann drilled the ball into the left side of the net on a penalty kick moments before halftime as\u00a0Piubel added a second-half goal, scoring on the rebound from a missed shot by Coumba Sow that ricocheted off Philippines goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel. \n\nThe Group A encounter was the first game inside Dunedin\u2019s Forsyth Barr Stadium in New Zealand, the tournament\u2019s only indoor venue. The crowd\u2019s cheers echoed around the walls of the roughly half-full stadium, with an attendance of 13,711 in a venue that can fit over 30,000. \n\nWith the victory, Switzerland moves into a tie for first place in Group A with New Zealand and improved its chances of moving on to the round of 16.\u00a0 \n\nThe Philippines played gamely in their Women's World Cup debut but face a hard climb to get into the knock-out stage of the tournament. \n\nSwitzerland will face Norway, which lost in an upset to New Zealand, in its second group-stage match, in Hamilton. The Philippines will face an energized New Zealand in Wellington. Both matches are on Tuesday. \n\nNigeria hold Canada to a goalless draw\u00a0 \n\nWith a diving one-handed save to her left, 22-year-old goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie denied international soccer\u2019s leading scorer Christine Sinclair and played a pivotal role in Nigeria holding Olympic champions Canada to a 0-0 draw. \n\nNnadozie parried away Sinclair\u2019s shot from the spot in the 50th minute on Friday after the Canadian veteran was clipped by Nigerian forward Francisca Ordega inside the box. \n\nSinclair\u2019s 190 international goals is an all-time record \u2014 for both women\u2019s and men\u2019s football\u2014 and she\u2019s aiming to become the first player to score in six World Cups. It didn\u2019t happen in Canada\u2019s tournament opener. \n\n\u201cShe\u2019s one of the best,\u201d Nnadozie said of Sinclair after the match. \u201cThe last time we played against them, she scored on me. I was very angry. I told myself, \u2018This is the opportunity to make things right.\u2019 So it\u2019s 1-1 for me and Sinclair.\u201d \n\nCanada goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan said Sinclair would convert the penalty \u201cnine times out of 10\u201d but added, \u201cthat\u2019s just the game.\u201d \n\n","htmlText":"<p>With three goals in four minutes in the middle of a lopsided first half, Spain shattered Costa Rica\u2019s resistance with a resounding 3-0 win\u00a0on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speculation that Spain was a team weakened by injuries was misleading, as La Roja controlled more than 80% of possession by halftime with 15 shots on the opposition goal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The dominant first half was enough for the win, as a relatively quiet second half didn\u2019t hurt one of the tournament&#039;s favourites.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Though they attacked relentlessly, Spain needed 22 minutes until it opened the scoring courtesy of an own goal.

It mattered little when Jennifer Hermoso missed from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute, her shot saved by Daniela Solera.<\/p>\n<h2>Switzerland open with a convincing win over Philippines<\/h2><p>Ramona Bachmann&#039;s first-half penalty and Seraina Piubel&#039;s strike in the second half led Switzerland to a 2-0 win over the Philippines on Friday in the Women\u2019s World Cup opener for both teams.<\/p>\n<p>Bachmann drilled the ball into the left side of the net on a penalty kick moments before halftime as\u00a0Piubel added a second-half goal, scoring on the rebound from a missed shot by Coumba Sow that ricocheted off Philippines goalkeeper Olivia McDaniel.<\/p>\n<p>The Group A encounter was the first game inside Dunedin\u2019s Forsyth Barr Stadium in New Zealand, the tournament\u2019s only indoor venue. The crowd\u2019s cheers echoed around the walls of the roughly half-full stadium, with an attendance of 13,711 in a venue that can fit over 30,000.<\/p>\n<p>With the victory, Switzerland moves into a tie for first place in Group A with New Zealand and improved its chances of moving on to the round of 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Philippines played gamely in their Women&#039;s World Cup debut but face a hard climb to get into the knock-out stage of the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Switzerland will face Norway, which lost in an upset to New Zealand, in its second group-stage match, in Hamilton. The Philippines will face an energized New Zealand in Wellington.

gunman was found dead after a police shootout, during which an officer was shot and injured. Four civilians were also injured. \n\nThe shooting happened near hotels where Team Norway and other soccer teams have been staying. \n\nNew Zealand Prime Minster Chris Hipkins said the tournament would go ahead as scheduled. \n\n\u201cClearly with the FIFA World Cup kicking off this evening, there are a lot of eyes on Auckland,\" Hipkins said. \"The government has spoken to FIFA organisers this morning and the tournament will proceed as planned.\" \n\n\"I want to reiterate that there is no wider national security threat. This appears to be the action of one individual.\u201d \n\nHipkins said the shooter was armed with a pump-action shotgun. Police arrived within minutes of the first emergency call and ran into harm's way to save lives, he said. \n\n\u201cThese kinds of situations move fast and the actions of those who risk their lives to save others are nothing short of heroic,\u201d Hipkins said. \n\nPolice Commissioner Andrew Coster said the gunman was a 24-year-old who had previously worked at the building site, and the motivation for the shooting appeared connected to his work there. \n\nThe gunman had a history of family violence and was serving a sentence of home detention but had an exemption to work at the lower Queen Street site, Coster said. \n\nThe gunman began shooting at about 7:20 am. and police soon swarmed the area. \n\nHe moved through the building firing at people, Coster said, as many workers fled or hid. The gunman then barricaded himself in an elevator shaft on the third floor, Coster said, where SWAT-type officers engaged him after securing the floors above and below. \n\n\u201cThe offender fired at police, injuring an officer,\u201d Coster said. \u201cShots were exchanged and the offender was later found deceased.\u201d \n\nCoster said it wasn't yet clear if police had shot the gunman or he had killed himself. He said the shooter didn't have a gun license and so shouldn't have been in possession of a weapon. \n\nOutside, armed police officers had the commercial business district on heavy lockdown with streets cordoned off surrounding the tourist harbour ferry terminal area. Police demanded bystanders disperse and ordered people inside their office buildings to shelter in place. \n\nThe incident comes as soccer teams and fans gathered in New Zealand for the FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup. The opening match is scheduled for Thursday between New Zealand and Norway. Hipkins said he was reviewing whether he'd attend the match as planned. \n\nTeam Norway captain Maren Mjelde said teammates woke up quickly when a helicopter began hovering outside the hotel window. \n\n\u201cWe felt safe the whole time,\u201d she said in a statement. \u201cFIFA has a good security system at the hotel, and we have our own security officer in the squad. Everyone seems calm and we are preparing as normal for the game tonight.\u201d \n\nTeam USA said all its players and staff were accounted for and safe. It said the team was in communication with local authorities and proceeding with its daily schedule. \n\nNew Zealand banned assault weapons in 2019, weeks after a gunman slaughtered 51 people at two mosques in the city of Christchurch during the nation's worst mass shooting. \n\nA subsequent buyback scheme saw gun owners hand over more than 50,000 AR-15-style rifles and other assault weapons to police. \n\nThe ban does not include all semi-automatic weapons. Coster said the gunman's shotgun is not on the list of banned weapons. \n\n\u201cI want to acknowledge that this has been a shocking and traumatic event for those people who came to work and found themselves in the middle of an armed emergency,\u201d Coster said. \u201cThankfully, many people were able to escape the building, but I know for those who hid or remained trapped, this was a terrifying experience.\u201d \n\nCoster said the officer who was shot was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition, had stabilized, and was expected to undergo surgery Thursday. He said the others had injuries ranging from moderate to critical. It wasn\u2019t immediately clear if all those injured had been shot. \n\nOfficials at Eden Park, where the opening match is taking place, said they were encouraging ticket holders to arrive early and there would be an increased security presence at the venue. \n\nTourism New Zealand cancelled a media welcome party that was to have been held Thursday afternoon at a location within the cordoned-off area. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>The gunman was found dead after a police shootout, during which an officer was shot and injured.

humanoid robot Valkyrie is starting a new mission in Australia. \n\nValkyrie was delivered to Western Australia on July 6 to test out its capabilities at the Australian energy giant Woodside Energy in Perth. \n\nThe company plans to deploy Valkyrie for remote caretaking of its uncrewed and offshore facilities to increase safety for both its personnel and the environment. \n\n\u201cWe are pleased to be starting the next phase of development and testing of advanced robotic systems that have the potential to positively impact life on Earth by allowing safer operations in hazardous environments,\u201d Shaun Azimi, lead of the dexterous robotics team at NASA Johnson, said in an announcement. \n\n\u201cThese demonstrations will evaluate the current potential of advanced robots to extend the reach of humans and help humanity explore and work safely anywhere,\u201d Azimi added. \n\nAs part of a partnership agreement, Woodside Energy will provide data and feedback to NASA, according to NASA\u2019s recent announcement. \n\nNASA expects to apply the gained knowledge to \u201caccelerate the maturation of robotic technology\u201d. \n\nThe space agency also implies that lessons learned from this mission may be used for NASA\u2019s Artemis missions and for other Earth-based robotics objectives. \n\nWhat is Valkyrie? \n\nValkyrie is NASA's first bipedal humanoid robot. \n\nIts name derives from Norse mythology where the name literally means \"chooser of the slain\". \n\nStanding at 1.8 metres tall and weighing 125 kg, Valkyrie is designed to carry out vital tasks in dangerous environments for humans both in space and on Earth. \n\nNASA states that testing Valkyrie\u2019s development on Earth will eventually contribute to the current and future robotics and automation development for use in space. \n\nFor example, NASA hopes to use Valkyrie on the Moon at the long-term worksites and habitats that will be established as part of future Artemis missions, even when astronauts are not physically present. \n\n\u2018Vital\u2019 remote control capabilities \n\nSince 2016, NASA has been doubling down on improving remote control technologies and developing fully autonomous robots as the time delay in communication between Earth and Mars makes it difficult to control robots. \n\nNASA believes Valkyrie and other advanced mobile robots can be vital tools in allowing humans to supervise dangerous work remotely and to offload dull and repetitive tasks, enabling humans to work on higher-level tasks, including deploying and maintaining robots. \n\nWith remotely operated mobile robots like Valkyrie, astronauts may be able to live off the land and remotely conduct important activities such as inspection and maintenance of infrastructure and plants. \n\nTo deliver Valkyrie, the NASA dexterous robotics team from Johnson travelled to the Woodside headquarters in Perth, Western Australia. The team prepared the Valkyrie robot and conducted training with the Woodside team on its operations, NASA said. \n\nFor more on this story, watch the video in the media player above. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>NASA\u2019s humanoid robot Valkyrie is starting a new mission in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Valkyrie was delivered to Western Australia on July 6 to test out its capabilities at the Australian energy giant Woodside Energy in Perth.<\/p>\n<p>The company plans to deploy Valkyrie for remote caretaking of its uncrewed and offshore facilities to increase safety for both its personnel and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased to be starting the next phase of development and testing of advanced robotic systems that have the potential to positively impact life on Earth by allowing safer operations in hazardous environments,\u201d Shaun Azimi, lead of the dexterous robotics team at NASA Johnson, said in an announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese demonstrations will evaluate the current potential of advanced robots to extend the reach of humans and help humanity explore and work safely anywhere,\u201d Azimi added.<\/p>\n<p>As part of a partnership agreement, Woodside Energy will provide data and feedback to NASA, according to NASA\u2019s recent announcement.<\/p>\n<p>NASA expects to apply the gained knowledge to \u201caccelerate the maturation of robotic technology\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The space agency also implies that lessons learned from this mission may be used for NASA\u2019s Artemis missions and for other Earth-based robotics objectives.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Valkyrie?<\/h2><p>Valkyrie is NASA&#039;s first bipedal humanoid robot.<\/p>\n<p>Its name derives from Norse mythology where the name literally means \"chooser of the slain\".<\/p>\n<p>Standing at 1.8 metres tall and weighing 125 kg, Valkyrie is designed to carry out vital tasks in dangerous environments for humans both in space and on Earth.<\/p>\n<p>NASA states that testing Valkyrie\u2019s development on Earth will eventually contribute to the current and future robotics and automation development for use in space.<\/p>\n<p>For example, NASA hopes to use Valkyrie on the Moon at the long-term worksites and habitats that will be established as part of future Artemis missions, even when astronauts are not physically present.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Vital\u2019 remote control capabilities<\/h2><p><a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2016//05//30//nasa-prepares-humanoid-robots-for-trip-to-mars/">Since 2016, NASA has been doubling down on improving remote control technologies and developing fully autonomous robots as the time delay in communication between Earth and Mars makes it difficult to control robots.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>NASA believes Valkyrie and other advanced mobile robots can be vital tools in allowing humans to supervise dangerous work remotely and to offload dull and repetitive tasks, enabling humans to work on higher-level tasks, including deploying and maintaining robots.<\/p>\n<p>With remotely operated mobile robots like Valkyrie, astronauts may be able to live off the land and remotely conduct important activities such as inspection and maintenance of infrastructure and plants.<\/p>\n<p>To deliver Valkyrie, the NASA dexterous robotics team from Johnson travelled to the Woodside headquarters in Perth, Western Australia.

may have become carriers of a flesh-eating bacteria which causes a devastating skin disease in people, according to a recent study. \n\nThe insects would normally not be a carrier of Mycobacterium ulcerans (or M. ulcerans) bacteria, which harbours by furry animals in areas across Australia and Africa, but scientists found that mosquitoes have become a method of transit for the bacteria. \n\nMolecular microbiologist Timothy Stinear of the University of Melbourne presented a report on June 18 at the ASM Microbe 2023 meeting in the American city of Houston, Texas showing the results of analyses done on mosquitoes in southeastern Australia. \n\nThe study, which was looking for a missing link between possums and humans in the transmission of the flesh-eating bacteria, found that a small number of mosquitoes had recently fed on both possums and people. \n\nA month before the presentation in Texas, Stinear, and colleagues had published another preliminary study -which is yet to be peer-reviewed - that found that the bacteria was identical in mosquitoes, possums, and people. \n\nThat means that the bacteria could easily be transmitted between the three species. \n\nWhat do M. ulcerans bacteria do? \n\nM. ulcerans is the bacteria behind Buruli ulcer, a chronic, debilitating disease that affects the skin - and sometimes the bones - and causes painful ulcers, permanent disfigurement, and long-term disability. \n\nAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO) , the disease is present in at least 33 countries with tropical, subtropical, and temperate climates across Africa, South America, and Western Pacific regions. \n\nThe WHO says that the mode of transmission of the disease is not yet known, but the possums in Australia are suspected to transmit it, with mosquitoes also possibly playing a role when interacting with the infected animals. \n\nThere\u2019s no available prevention for Buruli ulcer, according to the WHO. The disease can be cured completely with antibiotics. \n\nShould we be worried? \n\nIf you don\u2019t live in Australia and if you\u2019re not planning to visit soon, you shouldn\u2019t be too concerned about contracting the flesh-eating disease. Last year, some 2,100 Buruli ulcer cases from 11 countries were reported to WHO, with only about 200-300 being reported in Australia. \n\nOf 13 mosquitoes in Stinear\u2019s study who had fed on people, only 2 had fed on both humans and possums. \n\nBut even if you\u2019re not bound for the Down Under, there are still plenty of reasons to be wary of all mosquitoes generally, regardless of what disease they may be carrying. \n\nMore recently, mosquitoes have been linked to the sudden reappearance of malaria cases in Florida in the US , where four people were reported to have been infected.

Psychiatrists will need to show they have the necessary training, competency and robust evidence-based treatment protocols that appropriately control the risks to patients,\u201d said the TGA . \n\nWhat\u2019s the likelihood they\u2019ll be coming to Europe? \n\nDespite the stigma attached to mind-altering drugs and their technically illegal status in most countries around the world, the past few years have seen a considerable amount of research into their potential benefits. \n\nDavid Badcock, CEO of UK-based Drug Science, says that following the announcement from Australia, the future is looking that bit brighter for such treatments being brought to other countries. \n\n\u201cIn the last ten years or so, there\u2019s been a huge reemergence of research into the field,\u201d he explained. \n\n\u201cThere\u2019s a growing understanding among the medical community of the benefits of treatments like this. I\u2019m hopeful this is the first positive change of many\u201d. \n\nIn an article published by the European Commission last year, it was confirmed that a number of privately-funded research projects are responding to \u201cthe burgeoning interest from the scientific community\u201d into psychedelic therapies. \n\nIt adds that \u201cthe endgame for many scientists in this area is to decriminalise psychedelics (both synthetic and natural) and establish safe protocols that will allow doctors and psychotherapists to harness the \u2018magic\u2019 in these compounds for medical purposes\u201d. \n\nEuronews Next asked Badcock exactly what that \u201cmagic\u201d is, and why psychedelics are so effective for treating certain health conditions. \n\n\u201cMental health is so complex, there\u2019s never going to be one treatment for any one thing,\u201d he said. \n\n\u201cBut think about trauma-induced depression, for example, like childhood trauma. In order for the individual to understand the root cause of the issue they need to follow a path that unlocks that painful experience\u201d. \n\nAccording to Badcock, \u201csome drugs - not exclusively MDMA and psilocybin, we\u2019re researching the effects of substances like LSD and ketamine too - will take away that level of pain and enable patients to access and confront their trauma in a controlled setting\u201d. \n\nBut we all know drugs are commonly used in a recreational setting too. So how do advocates for drug-based therapies justify exposing patients to substances that could potentially lead to addiction? \n\n\u201cMDMA and psilocybin aren\u2019t especially addictive substances,\u201d explained Badcock. \u201cBut you\u2019re right - that\u2019s the political backlash we face\u201d. \n\n\u201cWe have to bear in mind the therapies being trialled in Australia are done in an extremely controlled setting,\u201d he added. \n\n\u201cPatients will undergo clinical assessment before it\u2019s even considered as a treatment, and there are tight regulations that the psychotherapists involved must abide by\u201d. \n\nSo does Badcock think Australia\u2019s ruling will change things for the rest of the world? \n\n\u201cAustralia\u2019s decision means we\u2019re going to have access to a wealth of information we haven\u2019t had until now - namely, real trials and results across a range of patients,\u201d he said. \n\n\u201cIt\u2019s our opportunity to gather evidence and ultimately elevate our research so that hopefully, treatments like this can become more widely available\u201d. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Australia has become the world\u2019s first country to regulate psychedelic drugs MDMA and psilocybin as medical treatments for conditions including PTSD, depression, alcoholism and eating disorders.<\/p>\n<p>As of July 1, \u201cpsychiatrists can be authorised to prescribe products containing 3,4\u2011methylenedioxy\u2011methamphetamine (MDMA) or psilocybin for use in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to treat specific mental health conditions,\u201d said Australia\u2019s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>MDMA is commonly known as ecstasy - a recreational drug - and psilocybin is the active ingredient in hallucinogenic mushrooms.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to allow psychedelic drugs for therapy, which was revealed earlier this year, came as somewhat of a surprise to many; TGA had overruled the use of psychedelic drugs as recently as December 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian administration said their new direction followed a nearly three-year process and included extensive consultation with experts, adding that it acknowledged \u201cthe current lack of options for patients with specific treatment-resistant mental illnesses\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will the drugs be prescribed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The TGA does \u201cnot expect widespread prescribing of MDMA or psilocybin\u201d as the treatments will be limited to individuals with specific mental health conditions who have previously been resistant to other formally approved treatments; likewise, the prescription of the novel therapies will be preceded by a lengthy process.<\/p>\n<p>To be able to prescribe MDMA or psilocybin, a psychiatrist will first have to be registered as an Authorised Prescriber (AP) under the TGA\u2019s Authorised Prescriber scheme, which allows registered psychiatrists to prescribe medicines that have yet to be formally included in Australia\u2019s register of therapeutic goods.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, before seeking approval to be an AP, the psychiatrist must first obtain approval from a panel that evaluates applications for human clinical-trial work called the Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC).<\/p>\n<p>Once approved by an HREC and the TGA, a clinician needs to provide the TGA with six-monthly reports on patient numbers and serious adverse effects.<\/p>\n<p>The comprehensive reporting is expected to ensure ongoing monitoring and evaluation of the drug&#039;s usage and its impact on patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs psychedelic-assisted therapies are not well established, the controls under the AP scheme will ensure the safe and appropriate use of MDMA or psilocybin.

So how do advocates for drug-based therapies justify exposing patients to substances that could potentially lead to addiction?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMDMA and psilocybin aren\u2019t especially addictive substances,\u201d explained Badcock. \u201cBut you\u2019re right - that\u2019s the political backlash we face\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to bear in mind the therapies being trialled in Australia are done in an extremely controlled setting,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatients will undergo clinical assessment before it\u2019s even considered as a treatment, and there are tight regulations that the psychotherapists involved must abide by\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So does Badcock think Australia\u2019s ruling will change things for the rest of the world?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAustralia\u2019s decision means we\u2019re going to have access to a wealth of information we haven\u2019t had until now - namely, real trials and results across a range of patients,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s our opportunity to gather evidence and ultimately elevate our research so that hopefully, treatments like this can become more widely available\u201d.<\/p>\n","hashtag":null,"createdAt":1676030519,"updatedAt":1688389090,"publishedAt":1688389033,"firstPublishedAt":1676030896,"lastPublishedAt":1688389090,"expiresAt":0,"images":[{"sourceUrl":null,"sourceCredit":null,"callToActionUrl":null,"captionCredit":"AFP","altText":"MDMA is also commonly known as 'ecstasy'","callToActionText":null,"width":1800,"caption":"MDMA is also commonly known as 'ecstasy'","url":"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/07\/39\/07\/98\/{{w}}x{{h}}_cmsv2_90534130-8990-504a-bcdc-71f4e8f462c0-7390798.jpg","captionUrl":null,"height":1200}],"authors":{"journalists":[{"urlSafeValue":"palmer","twitter":null,"title":"Sarah Palmer"}],"producers":[],"videoEditor":[]},"keywords":[{"urlSafeValue":"psychedelic","titleRaw":"psychedelic","id":26828,"title":"psychedelic","slug":"psychedelic"},{"urlSafeValue":"mental-health","titleRaw":"Mental health","id":14104,"title":"Mental health","slug":"mental-health"},{"urlSafeValue":"drugs","titleRaw":"Drugs","id":13574,"title":"Drugs","slug":"drugs"}],"widgets":[],"related":[{"id":2196012},{"id":2475270}],"technicalTags":[],"externalPartners":[],"video":0,"videos":[],"liveStream":[{"endDate":0,"startDate":0}],"scribbleLiveId":0,"scribbleLiveRibbon":0,"isLiveCoverage":0,"sourceId":1,"sources":[],"externalSource":null,"additionalSources":"","additionalReporting":"","freeField1":null,"freeField2":"","type":"normal","displayType":"default","program":{"id":"healthcare","urlSafeValue":"healthcare","title":"Healthcare","online":0,"url":"\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/healthcare\/healthcare"},"vertical":"health","verticals":[{"urlSafeValue":"health","id":12,"title":"Health","slug":"health"}],"primaryVertical":{"id":12,"slug":"health","urlSafeValue":"health","title":"Health"},"themes":[{"urlSafeValue":"healthcare","id":"healthcare","title":"Healthcare","url":"\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/healthcare"}],"primaryTheme":{"id":78,"urlSafeValue":"healthcare","title":"Healthcare"},"advertising":0,"advertisingData":{"startDate":0,"endDate":0,"type":null,"slug":null,"title":null,"disclaimerLabelKey":null,"sponsor":null,"sponsorName":null,"sponsorUrl":null,"sponsorLogo":"","sponsorLogoReverse":"","isDfp":0},"geoLocation":{"lat":0,"lon":0},"location":1,"continent":{"id":391,"urlSafeValue":"oceania","title":"Oceania"},"country":{"id":4611,"urlSafeValue":"australia","title":"Australia","url":"\/news\/oceania\/australia"},"town":[],"grapeshot":"'pos_equinor','pos_facebook','pos_ukraine-russia','pos_ukrainecrisis','gs_health','castrol_negative_uk','neg_mobkoi_castrol','gs_health_misc','gv_drugs','gt_negative','neg_bucherer','gb_drugs_news-ent','gb_drugs_edu','neg_nespresso','gt_negative_sadness','gs_politics','neg_saudiaramco','gs_science_misc','neg_facebook_2021'","versions":[],"programDeliverable":{"slug":"sujet","format":"default"},"showOpinionDisclaimer":0,"allViews":0,"allViewsMeta":{"pointOfView":[],"survey":[],"tweetId":0,"tweet2NdId":0,"displayOverlay":0},"storyTranslationMethod":[],"localisation":[],"daletEventName":"AUS psychedelics ","path":"\/health\/2023\/07\/03\/australia-just-legalised-mdma-to-treat-mental-health-could-europe-do-the-same","lastModified":1688389090},{"id":2274370,"cid":7608736,"versionId":2,"archive":0,"housenumber":"230516_TNSU_51665645","owner":"euronews","isMagazine":0,"isBreakingNews":0,"channels":[{"id":1},{"id":2},{"id":4},{"id":5},{"id":10},{"id":12},{"id":14}],"status":2,"title":"Sunshine, high wages and new rules: Australia's working holiday visa opens up to over 30s","titleSeo":null,"titleListing1":"Good news for Brits wanting to work in Australia as visa rules relax","titleListing2":"Sunshine, high wages and new rules: Australia's working holiday visa is opening up to over 30s","leadin":"Australia is finally raising its working holiday visa age for Brits, as well as Italians and Danes.

This long awaited amendment was yet to enter into force - until now. \n\nThe agreement is due to come into effect on 1 July. \n\nWith sunny weather and high wages, Australia is popular among Brits planning a temporary move abroad. \n\nWhat will change for Brits under Australia\u2019s new visa agreement? \n\nUnder the new rules set out in the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement, Brits up to 35 years old will be able to apply for the visa. This is due to come into effect on 1 July. Currently, applicants must be 30 or younger. \n\nFurther amendments are expected to come into effect next year on 1 July 2024, when r estrictions on the type of work you can do will be eased.\u00a0 \n\nCurrently, the visa lasts for 12 months. Applicants can get up to three year-long visas - but only if they carry out between three and six months of \u2018specified work\u2019. \n\nThe type of work varies between regions, ranging from fruit picking to hospitality, and must usually be undertaken outside of the major cities. \n\nUnder the new rules, the requirement to undertake specified work will be dropped. \n\nHowever, the six month work limitation per employer will return after June 2023, meaning you\u2019ll need to switch jobs twice per year. \n\nAustralia increased the number of visas available by 30 per cent in July 2022 and raised the upper age limit from 30 to 35 years for Italians and Danes. It also increased the annual caps for applicants from Austria, Hungary and Slovakia. \n\nWhat is a working holiday visa? \n\nAustralia\u2019s working holiday visa allows you to earn money while travelling. It lasts for a set period of time - one year - without the need to gain full residency. \n\nThe scheme was introduced in 1975 to foster links between Australia and partner countries, with an emphasis on young adults. More recently, it has been used to attract workers to fill shortages in cities like Perth. \n\nAustralia currently has working holiday visa agreements with 19 countries, including Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark , Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy , Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK. A further 28 countries have a similar agreement with set caps. \n\nOver 15,000 working holiday visas were granted to UK nationals in the last half of 2022, making them the biggest adopters of the scheme, followed by France (10,474), Ireland (7,410), Germany (6,436) and Italy (5,753). \n\nThe country is also currently working on agreements with Andorra, Croatia, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania and Monaco. \n\nGap year students often take advantage of the scheme between finishing school and starting university. \n\nAustralia\u2019s visa currently costs $496 (\u20ac304). \n\nWhy is Australia a popular place to move abroad? \n\nAustralia is not only popular among Europeans for its visa arrangements. Many are drawn by its sunshine and beaches - with summer conveniently landing during Europe\u2019s winter . \n\nOther draws include the lack of language barrier for English speakers and the similarity in culture to the UK. \n\nWages are also higher than many European countries. Australia\u2019s minimum wage is currently $21.38 (\u20ac13.13) per hour before tax compared with the UK\u2019s \u00a310.42 (\u20ac11.99) for over 23s, France\u2019s \u20ac11.52 and Italy\u2019s average \u20ac7. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Australia is easing its rules on working holiday visas for UK nationals.<\/p>\n<p>The country agreed to increase the age limit for UK citizens from 30 to 35 in December 2021.

but it\u2019s not the political tome you might expect. \n\nThe former prime minister of New Zealand is instead setting her sights on inspiring a unique brand of future leaders in her upcoming book following a successful five years in office. \n\nThroughout her tenure, Ardern made history and became an inspirational figure, not just boasting the title of New Zealand\u2019s youngest leader - she was elected PM at the age of just 37 - but was also only the second female leader worldwide to become a mother while in office. \n\nResigning her role in January amid apparent professional burnout and unprecedented vilification , Ardern said that she hoped her legacy would be one of empathy and kindness. \n\n\nAfter discussing numerous options on which to centre the book, she plumped for a guide on how to be \u201cyour own kind of leader\u201d, writing in a Facebook post, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to write a book that hauled over the internal politics of the last five years, and then someone convinced me that I didn\u2019t have to\u201d. \n\nThe politician added, \u201cMaybe it might be worth expanding on some of the things I talked about in my valedictory instead - like the idea you can be your own kind of leader and still make a difference and so that\u2019s what I\u2019m planning to do\u201d. \n\nThe book, which has been speculated about for weeks, is set for a worldwide release, with Ardern confirming she\u2019ll work with publishers Penguin, Macmillan and Crown. There are no official figures on how much she\u2019ll earn for the publication, but there are rumours it\u2019s likely to be a seven-figure payday. \n\nWhile many of Ardern\u2019s fans will be waiting impatiently for the release, the former prime minister wasn\u2019t able to give a timeline for the project, but expressed that she\u2019s writing it with a younger version of herself in mind. \n\n\u201cThere's no set date for when it will be done\u201d, she wrote, adding, \u201cbut I hope when it's done, it's the kind of book that would have made a difference to my 14-year-old self\". \n\nDespite leaving parliament, Ardern is still exceptionally busy pursuing a vast array of projects. Earlier this month, she was appointed a Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (GNZM) in King Charles\u2019 Birthday and Coronation Honours. \n\nAs well as acting as a trustee of Prince William and David Attenborough\u2019s Earthshot Prize , she has accepted dual fellowships at the Harvard Kennedy School for a semester beginning this autumn and as a Hauser Leader at the Centre for Public Leadership, where she will share her knowledge of leadership and governance skills. \n\nArdern will also work with Harvard's Berkman Klein Centre for Internet and Society as its first Knight Tech Governance Leadership Fellow where she\u2019ll focus on the study of online extremism. \n\nThat\u2019s a cause very close to her heart. In the wake of the 2019 terrorist attacks, where a white supremacist shot dead 51 people at two separate Christchurch mosques, she was praised for her handling of the tragedy and later founded Christchurch Call, an organisation which aims to combat online extremist conten t . \n\nDespite criticism from many corners, which tends to dog all high profile leaders regardless of their levels of competency, Ardern was also praised for her response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. \n\nActing quickly, she put in place the \"widest ranging and toughest border restrictions of any country in the world\", closing New Zealand's borders would be closed to all non-citizens and non-permanent residents. \n\nNational and international media hailed the government response led by Ardern, praising her leadership, with the Washington Post citing her regular use of interviews, press conferences and social media to keep citizens informed as a \"masterclass in crisis communication\". \n\nIn May 2020, Ardern rated 59.5 percent as 'preferred prime minister' in a poll - the highest score for any leader in the Reid Research survey\u2019s history. It\u2019s thought her response to the pandemic saved up to a staggering 80,000 lives. \n\nThe reaction to Ardern\u2019s upcoming book announcement has been almost universally positive, with comments under her Facebook post thanking her for being a continued source of inspiration, especially for young women and girls. \n\nOne comment read, \u201cYou're making generational change and you are inspiring women and girls to become leaders. Way past due!\u201d and another added, \u201cI'm really glad that you're going to be writing your book, and particularly THIS kind of book. You are a huge role model for so many people and will continue to make a valuable difference globally\u201d. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Jacinda Ardern has announced she\u2019s writing a book <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2023//01//19//jacinda-ardern-says-i-think-well-call-it-a-day-as-she-stands-down-as-new-zealands-pm/">after stepping down from office<\/strong><\/a> - but it\u2019s not the political tome you might expect.<\/p>\n<p>The former prime minister of New Zealand is instead setting her sights on inspiring a unique brand of future leaders in her upcoming book following a successful five years in office.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout her tenure, Ardern made history and became an inspirational figure, not just boasting the title of New Zealand\u2019s youngest leader - <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2022//11//30//ardern-irked-by-age-question-as-she-meets-finland-pm-sanna-marin/">she was elected PM at the age of just 37<\/strong><\/a> - but was also only the second female leader worldwide to become a mother while in office.<\/p>\n<p>Resigning her role in January <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//01//20//i-no-longer-have-enough-in-the-tank-what-jacinda-arderns-resignation-can-teach-us-about-bu/">amid apparent professional burnout and unprecedented vilification<\/strong>,<\/a> Ardern said that she hoped her legacy would be one of empathy and kindness. <\/p>\n<p>After discussing numerous options on which to centre the book, she plumped for a guide on how to be \u201cyour own kind of leader\u201d, writing in a Facebook post, \u201cI didn\u2019t want to write a book that hauled over the internal politics of the last five years, and then someone convinced me that I didn\u2019t have to\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-freeform\nwidget--size-fullwidth\nwidget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <iframe src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.facebook.com//plugins//post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fjacindaardern%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02HVXSXJFXY2ERL3sxEGNBzkrMYZjS9atx8p4dBVCKJQaVse8MFMPJNYbpk1FjJwV5l&show_text=true&width=500\%22 width=\"500\" height=\"705\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe> \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The politician added, \u201cMaybe it might be worth expanding on some of the things I talked about in my valedictory instead - like the idea you can be your own kind of leader and still make a difference and so that\u2019s what I\u2019m planning to do\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The book, which has been speculated about for weeks, is set for a worldwide release, with Ardern confirming she\u2019ll work with publishers Penguin, Macmillan and Crown.

Back in May 2018 and 2019, Germany already returned to New Zealand a Maori skull which had been bought by a Cologne professor from a London dealer in 1908 and several artefacts which had been looted or traded in the 19th century. \n\nThe latest batch of ancestral remains arrived in New Zealand on Wednesday, according to the country's Ambassador to Germany Craig Hawke. A private ceremony attended by Hawke was organised in Germany to bid farewell to the remains as they embarked on the repatriation journey to \u201cAotearoa\u201d\u00a0 -- the contemporary Maori language name for New Zealand. \n\nHawke remarked that the remains of the Indigenous people had spent \u201cmore than a century away from their homeland\u201d and that their return showed the \u201cmature and close relationship\u201d between the two countries. \n\n\u201cOur relationship goes deeper than a traditional diplomatic relationship, to one of culture, science and knowledge exchange. These repatriations are a poignant example of our collaborative partnership,\u201d Hawke said. \n\nOnce in New Zealand, the remains will be taken over by Te Papa, the country\u2019s national museum, together with other artefacts and cultural treasures which were in Germany\u2019s possession. They were previously owned by Germany\u2019s Grassi Museum, Leipzig, the Reiss Engelhorn Museum, Mannheim, Linden Museum, the Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History, the Georg August University in Gottingen, the Roemer und Pelizaeus Museum, Hildesheim, and Museum Wiesbaden. \n\nTe Papa announced that the remains were welcomed back home with a special repatriation ceremony. \n\n\u201cAs we celebrate 70 years of diplomatic relations between Aotearoa New Zealand and Germany, these repatriations demonstrate the mature and close relationship we share,\u201d said the Te Papa museum\u2019s head of repatriation, Te Herekiekie Haerehuka Herewini. \n\nThe museum has received more than 600 returned ancestral remains since its foundation in 2003, the latest of which -- before the German one -- was from France. The Quai Branly Museum in Paris reluctantly returned to New Zealand 20 mummified tattooed heads of Indigenous individuals -- known as Toi moko -- in 2012, after a four-year political struggle. \n\nLast December, Germany returned 20 Benin bronzes to Nigeria , in what foreign minister Annalena Baerbock called an effort to address the country\u2019s dark colonial times.

nation's industry watchdog, the Civil Aviation Authority. \n\nUnder the authority's rules, airlines have various options to estimate passenger weight. \n\nOne option is to periodically carry out surveys like Air New Zealand is doing to establish an average weight. \n\nAnother option is to accept a standard weight set by the authority. \n\nCurrently, the authority's designated weight for people 13 and over is 86 kilograms (190 pounds), including carry-on luggage. \n\nThe authority last changed the average passenger weight in 2004, increasing it from 77 kilograms (170 pounds). \n\nHealth statistics show New Zealanders are becoming heavier. \n\nThe latest national health survey put the adult obesity rate at 34%, up from 31% a year earlier. \n\nChildhood obesity rates

of passengers flying with Air New Zealand will be asked to weigh themselves before stepping aboard next month. \n\nGetting through an airport can be stressful enough, especially for over-packers , so it\u2019s worth noting from the get-go that the passenger weight survey is completely voluntary. \n\nBut there are valuable reasons for the initiative, which is required by New Zealand \u2019s Civil Aviation Authority. \n\n\u201cWe know stepping on the scales can be daunting. We want to reassure our customers [that] there is no visible display anywhere. No one can see your weight - not even us.

For customers, crew and cabin bags , we use average weights, which we get from doing this survey,\u201d explains James. \n\nCurrently, airlines use \u201cassumed mass\u201d, estimating the total weight of the passengers by using set figures. \n\nBut it helps to check in with passengers\u2019 bodies every now and then, to see if our average weight has changed. Fliers on New Zealand \u2019s domestic network were weighed in 2021, but international travellers haven\u2019t yet stepped onto the scales post-pandemic. \n\nHow could knowing fliers\u2019 weights help cut carbon? \n\nAirlines err on the side of over-estimating their planes\u2019 total weight to be cautious. \n\nEach passenger is typically assumed to weigh 88 kg; or 93 kg for men and 75 kg for women. \n\nBut if a pilot knows the plane is carrying less weight than the assumed mass, they can load less fuel accordingly. \n\nNick Brasier, chief operating officer of British tech start-up Fuel Matrix previously told UK paper the Independent that airlines currently load about 1 per cent more fuel than they need. Consequently, they burn up to 0.5 per cent more fuel in carrying the surplus. \n\nThough it might sound small, the fuel savings are significant when totted up. Since airlines spend an estimated \u20ac186 billion on fuel every year, the potential saving is up to \u20ac930 million. \n\nThis translates into valuable carbon savings too. A commonly-used Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet carries 240,000 litres of jet fuel (about a tenth of an Olympic swimming pool), burning through it at a rate of four litres per second. \n\nFlying from Auckland to Los Angeles and back - a 24-hour round trip - generates more than 2,000 kg of CO2 emissions per passenger, according to an estimate using data from German nonprofit Atmosfair. \n\nBrasier is all for adding passenger weight into an aircraft\u2019s analytics, which he says could also help distribute people around the plane. \n\nAt present, it\u2019s very rare for airlines to weigh passengers before a flight - except for smaller jets where fine-tuning is essential. \n\nBut there are a number of precedents for Air New Zealand\u2019s approach. At Helsinki Airport in 2017, for example, Finnair passengers were asked to step onto weighing scales as part of a similar voluntary survey. \n\n","htmlText":"<p>Thousands of passengers flying with Air New Zealand will be asked to weigh themselves before stepping aboard next month.<\/p>\n<p>Getting through an airport can be stressful enough, especially for <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2022//12//23//save-time-and-avoid-the-chaos-heres-how-i-packed-for-a-week-away-with-only-hand-luggage/">over-packers, so it\u2019s worth noting from the get-go that the passenger weight survey is completely voluntary.<\/p>\n<p>But there are valuable reasons for the initiative, which is required by <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//travel//2022//10//24//new-zealand-overtourism-residents-plead-with-tourists-to-tread-lightly-and-leave-no-trace/">New Zealand<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s Civil Aviation Authority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know stepping on the scales can be daunting.
