Noch immer toben in der brüderlichen Türkei schwere Waldbrände. Insgesamt wurden in der Türkei inzwischen 154 Waldbrände in 38 Provinzen registriert. 145 davon seien gelöscht. Tausende Feuerwehrleute, darunter auch Feuerwehrleute aus Aserbaidschan, kämpfen seit Tagen gegen die Flammen.
Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan dankte seinem aserbaidschanischen Kollegen Ilham Aliyev für Unterstützung im Kampf gegen verheerende Waldbrände, wie das türkische Büro von AZERTAC in Istanbul berichtet.

The three women from emerging Europe who may soon lead NATO
August 4, 2021
Three women from emerging Europe are currently being tipped to become the next secretary-general of NATO. And yet while much attention has already been given to their gender and nationality, what would the three leaders’ policies mean for the alliance?
That the next boss of NATO could come from a country in Central and Eastern Europe has understandably raised a few eyebrows in recent weeks, not least the many implications this would have for the role such states play within the organisation, as well as its relationship with one of its main security concerns – Russia.
Beyond encrypting business and personal data and holding it hostage, ransomware damages Americans confidence in infrastructure, said Matthew Rojansky, director of the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center, a nonprofit forum chartered by the U.S. Congress, which sponsored a recent press briefing on the topic. Despite the availability of cybersecurity software, experts expressed doubts about a technological solution, instead advocating for stronger diplomatic efforts aimed at law enforcement cooperation in Russia, where most of the ransomware attacks originate.
A more helpful deterrent would be government action to control cryptocurrency, the crooks preferred ransom payment method, said the other expert on the call, Dmitri Alperovitch, chairman of the Silverado Policy Accelerator and the former CTO of CrowdStrike.
