In a nutshell: Chinese manufacturers have spent more than $200bn in three years building factories abroad, and China’s logistics firms have followed with ports and rail lines of their own. This summer, both governments most exposed to that shift moved to police it within weeks of each other: Beijing restricting what its own companies can carry abroad, and Washington naming the third countries some of that trade may pass through ...

The IRGC Navy says it will target tankers in Bahraini and Kuwaiti ports after US strikers on Iranian tankers
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. The IRGC Navy says it will target tankers in Bahraini and Kuwaiti ports after US strikers on Iranian tankers September 9, 2026 Following strikes on five Iranian tankers in by US forces Iran is threatening to strike commercial tankers in Bahrain and Kuwait. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp (IRGC) Navy issued what Iranian media described as an “urgent warning” in response to theUSattacks. The warning told all tanker crews in Bahraini and Kuwaiti to immediately abandon their vessels, whether at anchor or at berth in ports, as they would be targeted by the IRGC Navy. Kuwait and Bahrain host US military bases have come under consistent attack by Iran since the war with the US started at the end of February. The threat to commercial tankers in Bahraini and Kuwaiti ports follows the US strikes on five Iranian owned or linked tankers which US Central Command described as having “destroyed the vessels” after crews were directed to abandon ship. The Iranian-flagged NITCVLCCDeryawas targeted near Kharg Island. US forces also fired on four vessels in the Gulf of Oman – the AframaxesKavizandRiesco,the oil/product tankerCharminar,and the LPG carrierHorizon 1.Video from US Central Command showed four of the vessels being struck towards the stern while theRiescowas shown with fires raging on its deck and around the accommodation block. Related:The disconnect between charter contracts and seafarer welfare The strikes on the Iranian linked tankers were in response to two IRGC attacks on a US warship, which US Centcom said had failed. The threat to commercial shipping in the region has ratcheted up significantly in recent weeks with the US striking eight Iranian owned or linked tankers and Iran attacking at least four commercial tankers in the Strait of Hormuz including the Bahri VLCCSidrwhich resulted in the deaths of two Filipino seafarers and the Sinokor VLCCSenegal Prosperitywhich was abandoned and listing following an attack on 30 August.

The tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island were targeted after Iran attempted to attack a US warship
The latest news and commentary on how the US/Israel-Iran conflict is affecting the global maritime industry and shipping markets. The tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island were targeted after Iran attempted to attack a US warship September 8, 2026 USforces in the Middle East have destroyed five Iranian tankers in retaliation for attacks on one of its warships in the region. US Central Command said its forces carried out the attacks on five Iranian tankers in the Gulf of Oman and Kharg Island after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted a US Navy warship twice over the last two days. It said that the US warship successfully evaded the attacks and continued to patrol waters in the region and in retaliation launched attacks on five Iranian tankers which it said it had “destroyed”. Asked about attacks on Iranian tankers US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters, "Iran continues to try to hit US naval ships, and every time they try to do that, they're going to lose tankers. And I think you'll see that again today." The Iranian-flagged NITCVLCCDeryawas targeted near Kharg Island. US forces also fired on four vessels in the Gulf of Oman – the AframaxesKavizandRiesco,the oil/product tankerCharminar,and the LPG carrierHorizon 1.

Screenshot from US Central Command video “American forces directed the crews to abandon ship before the vessels were struck and rendered inoperable,” US Centcom stated. “Iran has used the tankers as part of a multibillion-dollar shadow network that funds the IRGC and its regional proxies. Iran has no means by which to defend these vessels,” it added. TheKavizandCharminarare listed as Comoros false-flag in the Equasis database, while theRiescois Zimbabwe false-flag. For all three vessels ownership was listed as unknown in both Equasis and Pole Star Global's PurpleTrac databases with the tankers previously having been reported sold to undisclosed interests.

“Funghi, prima regola: serve un ambiente sano. Poi si deve controllare, pulire e bollire” Il Secolo XIX
Un cesto di funghi raccolti tra i boschi alle spalle di Finale Ligure, nel Savonese Genova – «Albero e fungo vivono in simbiosi, in un rapporto che aiuta entrambi. Solo un bosco in salute è il regno dei funghi, e allo stesso tempo, distruggere i funghi è danneggiare il bosco». A parlare èMarco Bruzzone, esperto micologoe membro del consiglio direttivo del gruppo micologico “Il cerchio delle streghe” di Genova, presieduto da Luigi Cravino, che da trent’anni non solo condivide la passione per la raccolta dei funghi ma anche quella per il loro studio scientifico. L’associazione fa parte del Campal (Coordinamento associazioni micologiche piemontesi, appenniniche e liguri), che è presente in Liguria, Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta. «Sì, in questi giorni il clima è ideale per la raccolta», commenta Bruzzone: le condizioni di caldo umido, le precipitazioni di fine estate, l’assenza di burrasche hanno generato il mix ideale. E se ora appassionati (e golosi) sperano in un prosieguo simile, senza venti forti né piogge torrenziali, l’esperto racconta il mondo affascinante di queste meraviglie, che costituiscono uno dei regni delle creature viventi, distinto dagli animali e dai vegetali. «Ci sono specie che non si vedono per anni e poi spuntano tutte insieme- spiega Bruzzone - Per certi versi, il fungo fa un po’ quello che vuole. Bisogna anche dire che, nonostante i cambiamenti climatici e la globalizzazione, nel mondo micologico non ci sono “specie aliene” o grandi anomalie nella loro diffusione». Di sicuro, con il caldo eccessivo qualcosa sta cambiando: «Solitamente già a maggio, giugno o luglio si trovavano funghi edibili. Quest’anno, in generale, le temperature sono state troppo alte e abbiamo dovuto aspettare la fine di agosto». Protagonista in questi giorni èil Boletus Estivalis, cioè il porcino estivo, che scalda i cuori (e i piatti) dei raccoglitori. Ma va invece meno bene per i galletti, altra specie ben nota e apprezzata. Però si confida di fare un buon raccolto: «Nell’entroterra la prima neve arrivava già a ottobre, ormai invece si può andare a cercare fino a novembre inoltrato», spiega ancora Bruzzone, che oltre ai funghi edibili, con il suo gruppo cercherà anche quelli da esporre e commentare con gli appassionati: «Un esempio sono le Amanite, dove si passa dalla Cesarea (cosiddetto “ovolo buono”, edibile, ndr), alla famigerata Amanita Falloide che invece è velenosa. Cominceranno a spuntare a fine mese. Invece, in primavera si trovano a volte insieme gli Hygroforus Marzuolus (marzuolo, ndr) e gli Entoloma Aprile, edibili. Organizziamo le nostre mostre per fare divulgazione, anche per limitare rischi per chi mangia i funghi, e trasmettere un po’ di scienza». Basti pensare che tra gli Entoloma ci sono anche i cugini del genere Sinuatum o Lividum, che sono potenzialmente mortali. Insomma i rischi, per chi va a funghi, ci sono: e ci sono anche delle regole da rispettare, per non finire in ospedale ma anche per non danneggiare l’ecosistema. Fatto salvo che per poter raccogliere funghi occorre, solitamente, essere in possesso diun tesserino(ogni comune o zona ha le sue regole per l’autorizzazione o la raccolta, che si possono trovare facilmente online: fanno eccezione i comuni costieri dove di solito la raccolta è libera) a pagamento, «ci sono norme comuni per tutta la Liguria - spiega Fabio Silvano, tecnico della prevenzione e micologo della Asl3 - Intanto il quantitativo: ogni persona non può raccogliere più di tre chilogrammi di funghi». Inoltre, per trasportarli va usato un cestino, e non sacchi di plastica: non per una questione di stile ma perché in mancanza di ossigenazione i funghi, anche quando commestibili, «accelerano la marcescenza e possono diventare nocivi al momento dell’assunzione», spiega Silvano. Il controllo a opera dei micologi della Asl si può fare negli orari di apertura degli uffici, solitamente aperti dal primo giugno al 15 novembre (orari, aperture e sedi sono consultabili online insieme ad altri consigli sulla pagina webhttps://www.alisa.liguria.it/comunicati-stampa/come-consumare-funghi-in-sicurezza.html): sempre, spiega l’esperto, «vanno portati al controllo degli esperti liberi da terra e fogliame, ma non già tagliati o trattati per la cucina. I micologi sono in grado di riconoscere le specie con certezza solo se gli esemplari sono integri». Lavarli sempre, anche se con delicatezza, prima di mangiarli è necessario, pereliminare terra e parassiti: inoltre, suggerisce Silvano, «prima di farli cuocere o prepararli come si vuole, è opportuno dargli una sbollentata in acqua. I funghi, anche quelli apparentemente edibili al 100%, possono avere delle tossine termolabili», che cioè spariscono in acqua bollente. Consigliato anche di buttare via la “prima acqua” che i funghi emettono alla cottura, e rimetterli poi a cuocere. Tra le specie più diffuse, «il chiodinoè un fungo che ha bisogno di particolari cautele; occorre togliere i gambi, che sono molto coriacei e indigesti; inoltre, farli prebollire e buttare via la prima acqua è assolutamente da fare». Infine, non si possono mai escludere intolleranze individuali o allergie vere e proprie ai funghi o a determinate specie, di cui «purtroppo si viene a conoscenza solo dopo essere stati male», spiega l’esperto: anche qui c’è però una precauzione da prendere, ovverosia «tenere da parte, prima della cottura, una piccola quantità dei funghi che si intende consumare, cosicché in caso di conseguenze i medici e gli esperti possono avere informazioni utili».

Ex Ilva, Decaro (Regione Puglia): Serve blocco licenziamenti e decarbonizzazione 8 settembre 2026
(Agenzia Vista) "Noi abbiamo chiesto un'agenda per Taranto che si deve tradurre in un provvedimento normativo, quindi una legge speciale per Taranto. Abbiamo chiesto il blocco delle procedure di licenziamento e abbiamo chiesto che resti il polo siderurgico decarbonizzato con i forni elettrici e non solo la parte della verticalizzazione, ma un impianto siderurgico che non inquini e che non metta a rischio la salute delle persone che abitano in quel territorio". Così il Presidente della Regione Puglia Antonio Decaro a margine dell'incontro Governo-enti locali su Ex Ilva a Palazzo Chigi. Fonte: Agenzia Vista / Alexander Jakhnagiev
