Scientists, in a way, want to revive the woolly mammoth. And they also have a bold idea why the extinct animal should be good for our earth.

Ten people have already died in gas explosions in Russia this month. Because many tenants are cold in their apartments, they heat with gas stoves. A deadly danger.

Russian President Putin has to go into isolation. A Kremlin spokesman gives details.

Gas explosions are not uncommon in Russia: seven people were recently killed in Moscow. Now there are more deaths to complain about after a new incident.

In the historically largest forest and wildfires in Russia, an area half the size of Germany has been destroyed so far. According to estimates by the environmental organization Greenpeace, more than 17.6 million hectares of forest and steppe have been burned across the country in the past few months. This broke the negative record from 2012 with around 16 million hectares.

It smells of burned plastic, a smoke detector activates its signal: 400 kilometers above the ground, the alarm went off on board the ISS at night.

The force of the explosion tears a huge hole in the facade of the apartment building. The exact cause is not yet known.

Burns are still burning in many inaccessible areas in eastern Russia. The destruction is already unprecedented.
