Finnish regulator gives positive decision on used fuel repository - World Nuclear News

It is 11 pm, and your brain has finally decided to cooperate. The task that felt impossible all afternoon suddenly seems manageable. You want to read, finish something, or follow an idea. Then the morning alarm rings. That energy has vanished, but the working day is starting anyway. For night owls, this clash can feel familiar. A Finnish study suggests their difficulties may extend beyond mornings: evening types were more likely to receive a disability pension years before the usual retirement age. Researchers followed 5,679 adults for 12 years. Before adjusting for other factors, evening types had an approximately 70 percent higher rate of receiving a disability pension than morning types, accounting for when pensions were awarded. The finding appeared in both men and women, and persisted after accounting for socioeconomic factors, including education and income. But health emerged as an important part of the explanation.

Israeli settlers have attacked European diplomats, including a French mayor, near the Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank. The delegation was visiting Palestinian olive harvesters on Saturday when the Israeli attackers confronted the group. The attack comes a day after settlers assaulted a US journalist north of Ramallah. In Saturday’s incident, the settlers targeted Belgium’s consul general, French and Polish diplomats and Catholic representatives, Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said. “A French mayor was assaulted and a Belgian vehicle damaged,” Prevot said, linking the attack to what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” and pledging to push for further European Union sanctions. French mayor Bernard Baudoux, who was assaulted, told the AFP news agency that the violence suggests that “there is a tolerance on the part of the Israeli government” towards settler violence. Al Jazeera’s Nour Odeh, reporting from Ramallah, said the settlers surrounded the diplomats’ vehicles, pelted them with stones and smashed their windows.
