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.

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.

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. Last year, at least 10 people died in Italy because of West Nile fever , another mosquito-borne disease. \n\n","htmlText":"<p><a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//green//2023//04//23//aggressive-tiger-mosquitoes-are-spreading-through-europe-how-can-we-protect-ourselves/">Mosquitoes may have become carriers of a flesh-eating bacteria which causes a devastating skin disease in people, according to a recent study.<\/p>\n<p>The 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.<\/p>\n<p>Molecular microbiologist Timothy Stinear of the University of Melbourne <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////abstractsonline.com//pp8//#!\/10789\/presentation\/3516\"><strong>presented a report<\/strong><\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<div\n data-stories-id=\"7556490\"\n data-event=\"widget_related\"\n class=\"widget widget--type-related widget--size-fullwidth widget--align-center\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <ul class=\"widget__related_list\"><li class=\"widget__related_listItem\"> <a href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//next//2023//04//25//dengue-fever-outbreak-biologists-are-sterilising-virus-carrying-mosquitoes-with-nuclear-en/">Dengue fever outbreak: Biologists are sterilising virus-carrying mosquitoes with nuclear energy<\/a> <\/li><\/ul>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The 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.<\/p>\n<p>A month before the presentation in Texas, Stinear, and colleagues had published another preliminary study -which is yet to be peer-reviewed -

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.

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.
