Copernicus Sentinel-1D Launches Into Orbit - French Guiana

Handout photo dated on November 4, 2025 shows Copernicus Sentinel-1D was successfully launched on 4 November 2025 at 22:02 CET (21:02 UTC) aboard an Ariane 6 rocket from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The satellite was released into orbit 34 minutes after launch, and the first signal was received at 23:22 CET by the Troll ground station in Antarctica. At the heart of Copernicus Sentinel-1 is the C-SAR (C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) instrument, operating at 5.405 GHz. It provides high-resolution imaging of the Earth's surface regardless of weather conditions, day or night. The radar supports four operational modes: Strip Map (5 × 5 m resolution, 80 km swath), Interferometric Wide Swath (5 × 20 m resolution, 250 km swath), Extra Wide Swath (20 × 40 m resolution, 400 km swath), and Wave mode for ocean monitoring. A key feature of Sentinel-1D, also present on Sentinel-1C, is the integration of the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which enables detection and tracking of ship signals in c

Maltese farmers stage new wave of protest

STORY: Maltese farmers stage new wave of protest SHOOTING TIME: Feb. 15, 2024 DATELINE: Feb. 16, 2024 LENGTH: 00:02:08 LOCATION: Valletta CATEGORY: POLITICS SHOTLIST: 1. various of farmers' protest STORYLINE: Maltese farmers on Thursday drove their tractors towards the capital city Valletta, carrying national flags and placards reading "Take care of us or you'll go hungry" and "Farmers gone? Eat your money." The protests followed similar demonstrations of the past weeks in several European countries including Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece and Romania. The farmers in protest are largely against strict EU regulations on climate change mitigation and environment protection in agriculture, which, they said, would put their livelihood at risk. They said such rules would increase the costs for European farmers and make their produce more expensive -- and therefore less competitive -- compared to products imported from non-EU markets where such limits were not in place.

Fundraiser For Police Officer Who Killed French Teenager Raises € 1M

A view of GoFundMe fund to support police officer Florian M. A row has broken out over a collection for the family of the French police officer under investigation for shooting dead a 17-year-old that has topped more than € 1m in donations. A similar collection to help the family of the victim, Nahel M, killed a week ago in Nanterre outside Paris after being stopped by two motorcycle patrol officers, has collected less than € 200,000. The shooting last Tuesday led to a wave of rioting and violence across France and worsened deep political divisions. Protesters clash with riot police in Marseille on Friday after the shooting of a teenager in a Paris suburb on Tuesday ‘We are seen as less human’: inside Marseille’s districts abandoned by the police. The collection for the 38-year-old officer named as Florian M was organised by Jean Messiha, a former spokesperson for the far-right presidential candidate E ric Zemmour, with an initial target of € 50,000.
