<p>The carmaker refuted that this was a ransomware attack, adding that there was no evidence of it or of a breach of the company's system.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, Ferrari said that it was working to identify how the documents were made public and that appropriate actions would be taken as needed, adding that there has been no disruption to its business and operations.</p>

<p>As wildfire groups warn that human activities are leading to a depletion of the nation's habitats and that many of Australia's species are just clinging to existence, Australia has now listed 15 new species as threatened. They include a small wallaby and grey snake.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, the country launched an ambitious 'zero-extinction' plan, that over the next 10 years would try and halt slide of 110 "priority species" into extinction. It would create a "halo effect" on interdependent species in the same habitat, said Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Protection of 20 "priority places" from further degradation is also included. Plibersek remarked that it could create "little Noah's Arks of places returning to healthy populations of plants and animals".</p>

<p>"The Black Summer bushfires in particular have seen devastating results for many species. We are determined to give wildlife a better chance," said the minister, adding that listing species as threatened under national environment law "is a critical step in protecting the species and habitats in need &nbsp;of urgent help."</p>

<p>As per reports the Black Summer fire&nbsp;burned through 5.8 million hectares in eastern Australia and killed, and displaced an estimated 1-3 billion animals.</p>

Australia launches zero-extinction plan; wallaby, snake among threatened species

<p>The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has warned its members that Russian President Vladimir Putin has deployed Poseidon, a nuclear weapon that is also known as the "weapon of the Apocalypse".</p>

<p>Apparently, over the weekend, NATO issued a warning note that was leaked to Italian Media. As per the note, the doomsday weapon is on its way from its base in the Arctic circle to the Kara Sea.</p>

<p><strong>What did the warning note say?</strong></p>

<p>As per the note, the Belgorod, a huge nuclear submarine, has gone missing from its home base in the Arctic circle and it may be on its way to test out a destructive, dangerous nuclear weapon called Poseidon.</p>

<p><strong>What is Poseidon?</strong></p>

<p>It is an 'Intercontinental Nuclear-Powered Nuclear-Armed Autonomous Torpedo' that is believed to be capable of travelling huge distances underwater.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Poseidon is capable of a detonation that can trigger a 1,600 ft nuclear tsunami&nbsp; that is "designed to drown and irradiate coastal cities" reports Daily Mail.</p>

<p>The next-generation weapon was announced by the Russian president back in 2018. As per Russian media, the doomsday weapon can travel up to 6,000 miles under water. It packs an explosion of two megatonnes. For context, this is more than 130 times the nuclear explosion of "Little Boy", the atomic bomb that wrecked Hiroshima in Japan back in August 1945 during World War II.</p>

<p>As&nbsp;per Naval News, "It is a giant torpedo which can hit coastal cities with devastating results. Compared to an intercontinental ballistic missile it is very slow, but possibly unstoppable."</p>

<p>Italian publication La Reppubblica quoted an expert HI Sutton as saying that Poseidon "is a completely new category of weapon - which will oblige a change in the planning of the western navies, leading to the definition of new requirements and new means to counter it".</p>

<p>As per Daily Mail, the weapon has never been tested thanks to the international prohibition on testing of nuclear weapons, and if Russia does test it now, this would mark a highly "provocative" move by the nation.</p>

<p><strong>How did Ukraine react to the warning?</strong></p>

<p>Pravda reports that Ukraine, which has for the past few months been facing aggression and destruction at the hands of Russia, has urged the media not to spread disinformation and called the information manipulative.&nbsp;</p>

Moscow has lauded Elon Musk after the latter conducted a Twitter poll on Monday and suggested that Ukraine should permanently cede Crimea to Russia. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the Tesla boss was looking to achieve peace, unlike others. "It is very positive that somebody like Elon Musk is looking for a peaceful way out of this situation," said Peskov "Compared to many professional diplomats, Musk is still searching for ways to achieve peace. And achieving peace without fulfilling Russia's conditions is absolutely impossible," he added. As reported by WION, in a Twitter poll on Monday, Musk listed conditions that he believed can end the war in Ukraine and then asked the people in the four regions of Ukraine, where the annexation referendums were held, to vote on their feelings towards the voting process. Musk tweeted a list of conditions for bringing “peace” in Ukraine which included – “redoing the elections in regions recently annexed by Russia under United Nations supervision, recognising Russia's annexation of Crimea, assuring water supply to Crimea, and ensuring Ukrainian neutrality.” Ukraine-Russia Peace: - Redo elections of annexed regions under UN supervision. Russia leaves if that is will of the people. - Crimea formally part of Russia, as it has been since 1783 (until Khrushchev’s mistake). - Water supply to Crimea assured. - Ukraine remains neutral. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 3, 2022 × Up until the report went live, Musk's poll had amassed more than 2.7 million votes with an overwhelming majority of 59 per cent clicking the 'No' option.
