The Russians have once more laid mines around the Ukrainian nuclear power plant in Zaporizhia, according to the latest situation report published on Friday by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna.

Explosive devices were placed between the inner and outer fences of the nuclear power plant, near the front line, according to the document. Mines were removed from this location in November.

The news is “incompatible” with security standards, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi criticized. The latter also warned that the Russian management of the nuclear power plant is unlikely to carry out full maintenance of the facility this year.

A work plan was presented to the IAEA’s permanent observers on site last week, but the nuclear agency considers that it has shortcomings. “This maintenance must be carried out in order to guarantee nuclear safety,” demanded Mr. Grossi.

Part of the emergency power system failed for eight hours on Thursday, according to the IAEA.

Although the power supply for cooling the irradiating equipment was not interrupted during this period, Grossi once once more expressed concern regarding the unreliability of safety systems designed to prevent a nuclear accident.

Horror movies, known for triggering intense physical and emotional responses, have captured the attention of scientists and fitness experts.

Researchers at the University of Westminster in London conducted a study suggesting that watching horror movies for approximately 50 minutes can increase heart rate and activate the autonomic nervous system, resulting in calorie burning comparable to a 30-minute walk. minutes.

Professor Richard Mackenzie, leader of the study, explains: “When we are scared, our body produces adrenaline, which increases heart rate and therefore caloric expenditure. In addition, muscle tension and activation of the nervous system can contribute to the burning of calories during the experience.” Read: This is the time you have to have dinner if you want to lose weight

The connection between on-screen horror and exercise doesn’t stop there. Some experts note that horror movies can induce sweating, especially in more intense scenes, which adds an extra component to burning calories and improving cardiovascular health.

However, results vary depending on the person and the intensity of the film. Dr. Emily Smith, an expert in entertainment psychology, comments: “Each individual’s reaction to fear is unique. “Some people may experience a significant increase in heart rate and physiological arousal, while others may not react in the same way.”

Although this relationship between watching horror movies and exercise may be intriguing, experts caution that it should not be considered a complete substitute for regular physical activity. Read: After parties, take care of your intestinal health: probiotics are the key

Mackenzie stresses the importance of a balanced approach: “While watching horror movies can provide caloric benefits, it doesn’t compare to the full range of health benefits that regular exercise offers.”

These are the 10 movies analyzed and the calories that, on average, the participants burned while watching them:

1. The Shining: 184 calories

2. Shark: 161 calories

3. The Exorcist: 158 calories

4. Alien: 152 calories

5. Saw: 133 calories

6. Nightmare on Elm Street: 118 calories

7. Paranormal Actitivy: 111 calories

8. The Blair Witch Project: 105 calories

9. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: 107 calories

10. REC: 101 calories

Dream Team: The Next Generation of Stars Sparks Controversy – Is it Sexist?

This Friday January 19, TF1 is broadcasting the first part of its new show, “Dream Team”. (TF1 screenshot)

An innovative concept… and sexist? This Friday evening, following “Star Academy”, “La Chanson secrete” and even “The Voice”, TF1 has decided to offer us a new musical competition with “Dream Team: The next generation of stars”. Rarely, this brand new program is not presented by Nikos Aliagas but by Hélène Mannarino, journalist and host, known as a columnist in “Bonjour!”, the brand new morning show on TF1, but also alongside Nicolas Canteloup in “C Canteloup”. This brand new show is therefore presented as a “talent show” intended to promote young (or almost) budding singers. The principle ? Six renowned French-speaking artists – Claudio Capéo, Black M, Lara Fabian, Camille Lellouche, Matt Pokora and Jenifer – take five young protégés under their wing. The latter, aged 8 to 14, are selected for their vocal talent and their artistic affinity with their mentor and each is like a “mini lookalike” of the “star” at the head of each team. The “teams” then compete in duels focused on vocal and choreographic performances and team cohesion. All will be submitted to the vote of a jury, made up of four personalities from the world of music and dance: Michael Jones, experienced singer and guitarist, Anggun, internationally recognized artist, Lorie Pester, icon of the 2000s, and Chris Marques, famous dancer and choreographer who largely contributes to the success of “Dancing with the Stars”. Each member of the jury has 50 points to award during the duels, while the 200 spectators present in the public also participate in the vote thanks to a system of boxes, just like “Mask Singer”. The stake for the very young candidates is not financial but rather a reward in the form of a trip, worth 4,000 euros, for each child on the winning team.

“So little girls necessarily identify with a singer?”

The teams of Jenifer and Claudio Capéo opened the ball. By covering “Riche”, a hit by Claudio Capéo, the team led by the singer of Italian origins left their mark with a gentle performance. Jenifer’s team, notably made up of Emma, ​​the winner of “The Voice Kids” in 2018, offered a medley of the greatest hits of the very first winner of the “Star Academy”. But that unfortunately wasn’t enough: thanks to the jury’s votes, it was the Matt Pokora “team” who won their ticket for the rest of the adventure… But long before this duel, Internet users made a quick observation: the total absence of diversity in all the teams. Although the very concept of the show is to compose teams with “mini lookalikes” of each personality, on X (formerly Twitter), voices have been raised to denounce what they consider to be a manifestation of sexism. .
