The trial of "La Manada"

The trial of La Manada for the alleged violation of the Sanfermines of 2016 enters this 11/13/17 in a new phase with the presentation of the expert evidence. Medical reports, videos or whatsapp messages will be analyzed by experts, psychologists and forensic experts.

Although there is no stipulated calendar, everything seems to indicate that the session will begin 11/11 with the analysis of the medical reports made to the young woman from Madrid when she was transferred to a medical center within the protocol of action before an alleged sexual assault. These reports will be analyzed by forensics. The aim is to clarify whether the medical part presented by the young woman, apparently with some irritations, is compatible with a sexual assault.

The victim himself acknowledged that, due to the state of shock he entered, he did not put up resistance. He simply closed his eyes and wished that everything would be over as soon as possible. For that reason, the five defendants did not use force to attack her, so the forensic analysis of the medical parties will be essential to determine if these small injuries are compatible with a sexual act against the will of the victim.

Within the expert evidence, whatsapp messages that the defendants threw to their group of friends of the mobile app between the time of the act and their detention, some seven hours later, will also be presented and analyzed. Messages like "one among the five" were sentences that the defendants left for friends who did not go to the capital of Navarre.

The Court did not admit the messages prior to the trip to Pamplona in which they talked about the preparations for the trip. Nor did they admit a video of the month of May that the Foral Police found and that involved the opening of another investigation into another possible sexual assault in the town of Pozoblanco in Cordoba. The magistrates tried to limit all the evidence exclusively to what happened in portal number 5 of Paulino Caballero street in Pamplona on the night of July 6 to 7, 2016.

The videos
In all likelihood 13/11 the 7 videos that the members of La Manada did not erase and that remained on the mobile phone of one of the defendants will be viewed. They will be a total of 96 seconds in which the defendants had relations with the girl. The experts will have to unravel if the passivity shown by the young woman is compatible with a sexual assault. The defense of the defendants maintains that, if there is no express rejection, there is no aggression. On the contrary, the prosecution considers that if there is no express consent, there is no consent.

There will be two days of detailed explanations, minimum details that lead to clarify what happened that morning from 6 to July 7 in a portal on Paulino Caballero Street, in the center of Pamplona.

North Korea missile prompted Singapore Air plane re-route

Singapore Airlines has changed the path of its Seoul-Los Angeles flights after a recent North Korean missile test.

It joins a growing group of airlines who have re-routed planes because of Pyongyang's more frequent launches. They include Lufthansa and Air France, who now avoid the North's airspace.

North Korea does not announce its tests beforehand unlike other countries. This means their projectiles' flight paths are unknown, posing a possible danger to aeroplanes.

Are Pyongyang's missiles a risk to planes?
What could tip the balance into full conflict?
  
In a statement to the BBC, Singapore Airlines said it made the change after Pyongyang launched an intercontinental ballistic missile in July. The same missile had also prompted Air France to expand its no-fly zone around North Korea, after the airline found out the projectile may have been as close as 100km (62 miles) to one of its planes .

German carrier Lufthansa told the BBC that it had been avoiding North Korean airspace for more than a year, for services to Japan and South Korea.

It added that since the July missile, it also evaluates "each individual airline route on a daily basis". A decision on whether its planes should avoid the Sea of Japan is also "taken every day".

Recent missiles launched by Pyongyang have landed in Japanese waters. North Korea's rocket test in September reportedly also led Scandinavian and Swiss Airlines to re-route their flights into Japan.

UAE looks to Mars for STEM inspiration

The UAE Space Agency was formed as recently as 2014, and Dubai's Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center was established in 2015. The center has already successfully launched two home-grown satellites, and the Emirates is targeting Mars with plans for a probe in 2020 -- the Arab world's first mission to another planet. More ambitious still, there are plans to develop a human settlement on Mars by 2117.

At the World Government Summit in February 2017, the UAE previewed its vision of what that colony might look like. In November, their VR presentation was made available on YouTube.
In September, the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, unveiled renders of Mars Science City, a $136 million simulation center planned for the desert outside Dubai.

The center will be covering 1.9 million square feet -- the largest project of its kind -- it will include  laboratories simulating the surface of Mars, agriculture testing areas and a museum. Much of it will be built using 3D printers.

The Emirates' space program is aware it's entering towards the back of the race.

Our primary target is having education and outreach," says Sarah Amiri, UAE minister of state for advanced sciences and science lead at the Emirates Mars Mission. "It's about building people, it's not about building buildings... It's creating people that are creative enough to stimulate your economy and to stimulate the growth of your entire nation."

In other words, space is a means to an end.
Afshin Molavi says "We sometimes think that the only way a space program is successful is when you have men on the moon planting a flag, or in the case of Dubai maybe rockets that land on Mars," he says. "But a space program is successful because of what it does on Earth."
