Flying may be bad for the environment, but taking the train in Europe is bad for your bank account, a new study found.Rail travel within the Continent remains 71 percent more expensive than flying, according to research by Greenpeace. The report compared the prices of flights and trains on 112 European travel routes and found that taking the train was cheaper than a flight in only 23 cases. As a result, despite the fact that flying produces more greenhouse gases than train journeys, people will often opt for the former.In Poland, train travel costs half as much as flying, but the most expensive country for rail travel is the U.K., where travelers pay four times more for train journeys than flights. For example, traveling from Barcelona to London by train costs around €384, while a flight can be as cheap as €12.99, the report says. Barcelona-London is the third most-traveled short-haul route in Europe, and “shifting these flights to rail would save 461,000 tons of harmful green...Russian state media spins Putin pulling out of South Africa summit

“Putin will not go to Africa. Africa will come to Russia.”That’s the title of an op-ed published Thursday by Russian state-owned newswire Ria Novosti.A day after South Africa announced that Vladimir Putin would not attend in person a planned summit of the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in Johannesburg next month, where the Russian president risked being arrested, the Kremlin’s propaganda machine has kicked into high gear.Putin is facing an international arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the forced deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia during Moscow’s invasion — which, as a signatory to the court, South Africa would have been bound to enforce if Putin visited the country.Yet, Ria’s columnist Petr Akopov, who penned Thursday’s op-ed, claims that Putin’s dodging of the summit is merely a reflection of a “new world order [that] is shaping up.”Acknowledgin...Police hunt for lioness on the loose near Berlin
