Pressure to crack down on exposure to PFAs mounts

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 19:08:30 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- Forever chemicals are back in headlines in Colorado after news broke of the chemicals showing up in the metro.Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – known as PFAS -- present in Colorado's waters are gaining attention but experts will tell you that's not the only place these substances are lurking."It's nearly indestructible and it's labeled forever chemicals. When these PFAS get into our communities, it could take hundreds of years for them to break down if they ever do," Danny Katz of CoPIRG said. He said Colorado is leading the way when it comes to controlling PFAS or forever chemicals, but there is more work to be done."The number one thing we need to do is that we just need to stop it at the source. Once PFAs get out there, they are really, really hard to do anything with. The best thing we can do right now is kind of control them and put them in an isolated place," Katz said. Report: Suncor had some of the highest numbers of tail gas and acid flares PFAS can b...

Kyiv’s Motherland monument gets a makeover — but at what cost?

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 19:08:30 GMT

KYIV — Ukrainians are always looking for ways to give the middle finger to Russia. But many locals are now asking if radically altering the iconic Motherland monument to remove a hammer and sickle is the best way of using the country’s wartime resources.The 62-meter-tall statue of a woman — affectionally known locally as Baba — has stood atop a hill on the right bank of Kyiv since 1981. Sternly looking east, she holds a 16-meter-long sword in her right hand and an eight-meter-long shield in her left. But there’s a problem for a country at war: on the shield are the hammer and sickle, the symbols of the industrial worker and the peasant used as the emblem of the former Soviet Union.On Sunday, workers started dismantling the Soviet emblem — piece by piece.“We wanted to watch, but they did not allow us to come close for security reasons,” Viktoria Andrienko, a Ukrainian woman who arrived to watch the dismantling process with her family on Monday, told PO...

Ukraine’s plan if Russia assassinates Zelenskyy

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 19:08:30 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe. WASHINGTON — When Volodymyr Zelenskyy was asked whether he was worried by Russian attempts to kill him, he answered he couldn’t afford to be.“If I were thinking about it constantly, I would just shut myself down, very much like Putin now who doesn’t leave his bunker,” the Ukrainian leader said in an interview with CNN last month. “Of course, my bodyguards should think how to prevent this from happening, and this is their task. I don’t think about it.”While it’s a question Zelenskyy understandably isn’t eager to contemplate, it’s also one his supporters at home and abroad can’t afford to ignore. Ever since he rebuffed an evacuation offer by telling his would-be American rescuers “I need ammunition, not a ride,” the Ukrainian president has played a key role in mustering international support for the fight against Russia.No wonder Russian lawmakers and ultra-nationalist military bloggers have formed a chorus demanding he be targe...

Germany learns to be a team player

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 19:08:30 GMT

Benjamin Tallis is a senior research fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations, where he heads the “Action Group Zeitenwende.”With Germany under pressure to deliver on its stuttering Zeitenwende — the promised sea change in its defense policy — any progress is now welcome. And this is the view not just in Berlin, but in all allied capitals where policymakers understand what such a change could mean for NATO and European defense.It’s true that Germany has come a long way since February 2022, moving from the shameful 5,000 helmets to become a major supplier of heavy weapons to Ukraine. Yet, this has largely been in response to severe pressure from allies. And, too often, Berlin has continued to act alone in its naked and short-term self-interest, which has repeatedly aggravated its partners and will do Germany no favors in the long-term.Therefore, it’s refreshing that a new procurement deal for Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) seems to show that Germany is learning lessons. This deal ...

A father and daughter who survived a plane crash in Stow earlier this month are now back home, continuing their recoveries just over a week after the crash that sent the two of them and a family member to the hospital. The crash happened on Sunday, July 23. On Monday, Rob Bauer and his daughter, Daniela Bauer, spoke to 7NEWS, remembering the terrifying moment their pilot told them their plan was going down.“We were getting pretty close to the trees,” Daniela said. “He was funny, he said ‘I can’t go back up. We’re just going to have to have a crash landing.’” Daniela continued, saying the last thing she remembers from the crash was the front of the plane hitting the trees. “I don’t know if I had more than a couple of seconds to get ready,” Rob said. “That’s when panic set in. I saw lots of green and impact and then I blacked out.” Stow emergency officials in a statement said they responded to the area of Taylor Road near Minute Man Air Field around 1 p.m. on July 23 af...
