The war between Israel and the United States against Iran, which has been ongoing for 13 days, has so far incurred costs exceeding 11 billion dollars.

The War in Iran is Getting Costly
The first week of the war with Iran cost the United States 11.3 billion dollars, which is over 238 billion Czech koruna. Just for munitions, five billion dollars were spent during the first weekend of attacks. This estimate was provided to the American Congress by the Pentagon.

Čapí hnízdo Case Now Only Involving Nagyová
The Prague Municipal Court will address today in a private session whether to separate part of the Čapí hnízdo case concerning MEP Jana Nagyová from the ANO movement for separate proceedings. The Chamber of Deputies decided last week not to approve the prosecution of the second accused, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš. The Municipal Court is revisiting the case after its acquittal was overturned by an appellate court. The court previously indicated that if the Chamber did not release Babiš, it would likely separate part of the case for independent proceedings so that the proceedings against Nagyová could continue without unnecessary delay, reported the portal Ceskenoviny.cz.

California Fruits and Vegetables Contain High Levels of Pesticides
According to new research, nearly 40 percent of vegetables and fruits grown in California contain traces of pesticides, which are also known as "forever chemicals." Their strong molecular bonds can take decades to completely break down in the environment. According to CNN, it is estimated that there are currently nearly 15,000 types of fluorinated chemicals. California supplies nearly half of the vegetables and more than three-quarters of the fruits and nuts consumed in the United States.
NASA Spacecraft Set to Uncontrolled Descent Towards Earth
The massive space probe, weighing 600 kilograms, could crash into Earth's atmosphere. Although it is likely that most of the spacecraft will disintegrate upon reentry, several of its components could survive, NASA states. The risk is reportedly higher in this case than in some other major events, including the return of the Chinese space station in 2018. Despite concerns, fortunately nothing happened at that time, CNN pointed out ..
