The pre-trial detention was applied for on Wednesday, with a decision by the court probably expected on Thursday, said Ulrike Breiteneder, spokeswoman for the Linz prosecution at the request of OÖN. That the homeless man is said to have stabbed his Romanian wife and on the Escape with a rental car is said to have hit two young police officers and seriously injured them, the public prosecutor’s office initially evaluates as three attempted murders.

Strasser: Agriculture helps to make Austria more independent
The share of renewable gas is to be increased to 10.5 TWh by 2030
Vienna (OTS) – The federal government announced today that it intends to introduce the Renewable Gases Act (EGG). This is intended to increase the share of renewable gas in Austria to 10.5 terawatt hours (TWh) by 2030. With this amount, 11% of the current annual consumption can be covered. “This fulfills a long-standing demand from the farmers’ association. This important step is thanks to the dedicated work of Minister of Agriculture Norbert Totschnig, who is committed to sustainable biogas production through our agricultural and forestry operations. Agriculture is part of the energy transition and is helping Austria independent of raw materials and energy from abroad,” said the President of the Farmers’ Union, Abg.z.NR DI Georg Strasser.
The implementation of the EGG is intended to be an important step towards energy self-sufficiency. “Now it’s time to use the existing potential! There are already around 260 biogas plants in Austria, and the technological know-how is there as well. With the necessary political will, we can push ahead with the expansion of biogas and thus also take sustainable actions to achieve the goals we have set ourselves Achieving climate goals. That can only be done with – and not once morest – our farmers,” stresses Strasser.
The law, which is due to be reviewed soon, is the result of many years of negotiations. It gives plant operators planning security with an emergency mechanism and a purchase guarantee under certain conditions. “The legal framework makes it possible for us to expand the infrastructure and gradually increase the proportion of biogas. Regional energy sources are the future, because they make us less dependent on imports and also protect the climate,” says Strasser. (Ending)

Saying that Microsoft is dominating the market with its foldable smartphones Surface Duo and Surface Duo 2 misjudged would definitely be an understatement. Just as devices with foldable screens were beginning to assert themselves, Microsoft took a completely different approach and preferred to install two flat displays. And during that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, Z Flip4 and the Oppo Find N2 Setting sales records, Surface Duo devices are almost never seen in the wild. According to “sources familiar with the company’s plans”, that should change with the Microsoft Surface Duo 3.



Microsoft Surface Duo 2
The Surface Duo 3 will use a foldable main display and a flat outer screen. The form factor is similar to the Vivo X Fold and at Honor Magic Vs. Microsoft’s foldable has reportedly already had “a long year of hardware prototyping and experimentation,” so we can’t wait to see the results. Originally, Microsoft wanted to launch the Surface Duo 3 late last year and keep the dual-screen design. Narrower edge-to-edge displays, wireless charging, and other undisclosed improvements would have resulted in minor upgrades, though.
In fact, the design process for the device was already complete when Microsoft decided to go for a true foldable display for unknown reasons. This meant that the release plan for the end of 2022 was no longer valid and there is no new date for the Surface Duo 3 yet. Nothing is known regarding the technical data either.
Surface Duo 3 without 360 degree hinge
The last reports had for that Surface Duo 3 a 360 degree hinge brought into play. The sources of today’s leak, on the other hand, assume a 180-degree hinge, like most other foldable phones. However, Microsoft wants to use software to make its future Android models stand out more from the competition. Accordingly, the Redmond company is planning an “ecosystem experience” with strong integration between Android devices and Windows PCs. Something similar is known from Apple and its interfaces between iPhones and MacBooks.
In addition, the company wants to offer more Android smartphones and not just the Surface Duo. Various form factors are already being tested, including traditional bar phones.
XBB.1.5 alarm! Another epidemic? Flash mask decision from WHO!
Washington/Viyana. It has been three years since the epidemic, which was announced to the world on December 31, 2019 by China, the most populated country in the world. Is the coronavirus epidemic, which killed millions of people and closed borders, returning?
A new Covid sub-variant spreading rapidly in the US is causing concerns. XXB.1.5 has been detected in 29 countries, including European countries, so far. So, what is known regarding this variant?
1.5, a new type of XBB, which was first seen in October and revealed to consist of a combination of two different Omicron sub-variants, raises the concern that there will be an increase in Covid cases around the world, especially in the USA and China.
The XBB.1.5 variant, also known as ‘Kraken’, has been spotted in dozens of countries. WHO made a flash statement following the variant, which caused the discussions ‘Should the masks return’.
WHO announces mask decision
World Health Organization (WHO) Europe Emergency Director, Catherine Smallwood, announced at a press conference on Tuesday that the XBB.1.5 sub-variant is also seen in small but increasing numbers in Europe.
Passengers were advised to wear masks in situations where the risk is higher, such as on long plane trips.
Smallwood said that passengers coming from destinations where Covid-19 has increased rapidly should be advised to wear masks.
Watch out for these 5 symptoms
XBB.1.5 is the fastest-spreading sub-variant of Omicron to date and is now the most common worldwide. Doctors described the most prominent symptoms of XBB.1.5. According to US health experts who spoke to the Huff Post, the 5 most prominent symptoms of XBB.1.5 are as follows;
- Muscle pain.
- Severe cough.
- Throat ache.
- Headache.
- Congestion in the nose.
Speaking to the same newspaper, Dr., chief of infectious disease at Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Henry Redel stated that with the new variant, they are less likely to encounter some of the symptoms seen in the past.
Less common symptoms include loss of taste and smell and shortness of breath.
Does it evade immunity thanks to additional mutation?
Andrew Pekosz, a virologist at Johns Hopkins University, said that XBB.1.5 appears to evade a high degree of immunity, as it has an additional mutation that allows it to bind better to cells.
Pekosz made the following statements in a statement to CNBC; “The virus needs to attach tightly to cells to be more efficient at getting in, and this may help the virus be a little more efficient at infecting humans.”
Mahon said that despite the rapid spread of the variant in question, there is little indication that XBB.1.5 causes more serious disease or poses a greater danger to those infected than previous strains. (yenivatan.at)
