Each shuttle vehicle will be able to accommodate 19-50 passengers and will be operated by local fleet partners using Uber's technology.

The port is located along the Caspian Sea in southwestern Russia's Astrakhan region.Several days earlier, in late August, Olya-3 was docked at the Iranian port of Amirabad, in the opposite corner of the Caspian Sea, publicly available ship tracking data shows.<div type="image" title="A satellite image of a port, where multiple cargo vessels can be seen." height="1444" width="2214" msid="113270601" hostid="261" sizebytes="398644"></div><div type="image" title="A satellite image of a port, where multiple cargo vessels can be seen." height="1446" width="2098" msid="113270603" hostid="261" sizebytes="338320"></div>Sky News <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://news.sky.com/story/russian-ship-captured-in-satellite-image-delivering-ballistic-missiles-from-iran-13212835">first reported</a> the newly available satellite imagery on Wednesday.Olya-3 regularly transits the Caspian Sea to move cargo between Iran and Russia, according to the Treasury Department, which <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2570">announced sanctions on the vessel</a> as part of widespread measures targeting Tehran and its assets in response to the missile transfers.US officials said dozens of Russian military personnel trained in Iran to use the Fath-360 missiles that <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-ballistic-missiles-iran-greater-flexibility-ukraine-us-warns-2024-9">Tehran has now delivered to Moscow</a>. These short-range ballistic missiles have satellite guidance and a maximum range of around 75 miles.The missiles can be equipped with a 330-pound warhead, posing a deadly threat to Ukrainian military positions and civilian infrastructure.It's unclear exactly how many missiles Russia received, although the Treasury Department said Moscow and Tehran signed an agreement in late 2023 for the supply of hundreds of missiles.John Kirby, a spokesperson for the White House National Security Council, said that Russia could use the new Iranian missiles on closer-range targets in Ukraine while saving its own ballistic missiles to strike deeper.<div type="image" title="A missile launch, with fire erupting from the back and smoke filling the area." height="1125" width="2000" msid="113270600" hostid="261" sizebytes="63018"></div>The Biden administration has long warned of <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/iran-russia-defense-ties-worry-us-but-tehran-doubts-moscow-2023-7">deepening military ties</a> between Russia and Iran. Kirby said Tuesday that Moscow has shared space-related information and much-sought-after nuclear technology with Tehran.The British, French, and German governments called the delivery an "escalation by both Iran and Russia" and "a direct threat to European security.""This is a further escalation of Iran's military support to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and will see Iranian missiles reaching European soil, increasing the suffering of the Ukrainian people," the countries said in a <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/newsroom/news/e3/2675032?pk_campaign=newsletter_Press_release_2024_09_10&amp;pk_kwd=link_E3+Foreign+Ministers%E2%80%99+Statement+on+Iranian+transfers+of+Ballistic+Missiles+to+Russia">joint statement</a>.The delivery of Fath-360 missiles marks the latest weapons transfer from abroad to Russia as it continues to depend on other pariah states like Iran and North Korea for military assistance to help sustain its war machine in Ukraine.Iran has also supplied Russia with one-way attack drones, while North Korea has given Moscow ballistic missiles and artillery. Western countries, including the US, have condemned these transactions as destabilizing and escalatory.Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said Tuesday that it's likely the recent transfer of missiles between Iran and Russia won't be a "one-time good deal," noting that Moscow could seek additional munitions in the future.

I've been to every country in Europe (except Russia), and in my opinion, one of these countries provides the ideal destination for toddlers: Ireland. I recently went with my own 3-year-old, and we had an amazing time. As soon as our ferry docked in Dublin, my son seemed amazed. My partner and I organized the trip to celebrate his third birthday, and I shouldn't have been surprised he was enjoying himself, as nowhere is quite as magical as Ireland. <div type="image" title="Jennifer Sizeland's son running on a beach in Ireland." height="1536" width="2048" msid="114281848" hostid="261"></div><h2>The coast acts as a wonderful base for a family trip</h2>An <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-under-the-radar-places-in-ireland-2022-4">ideal way to see Ireland</a> as a family is to stay in a cottage or caravan near the coast, which can act as your base for exploring the surrounding areas by car, bike, or <keyword id="19919009" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="public-transport" source="keywords">public transport</keyword>. This was what we decided to do and was a great choice; Ireland's roads are quieter than much of the rest of Europe, as it is sparsely populated, aside from its main cities. Even though you should take the usual precautions, it felt safe and people are very welcoming, especially to children. If you want to learn about Ireland's tangible history without the kids getting bored, there are so many beautifully preserved castles and estates with sprawling gardens to get lost in. The famous <keyword id="23623420" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Blarney-Castle" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Blarney Castle" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Blarney Castle">Blarney Castle</keyword> (home of the Blarney stone) is especially intriguing with a rock close, a poison garden, and a waterfall all hidden around its vast grounds. My son enjoyed playing hide-and-seek among the vast avenues adorned with sculptures and giant plants. There is also the John F. Kennedy Arboretum, a huge parkland and tree collection dedicated to the former president. <div type="image" title="Jennifer Sizeland's son running in a marsh in Ireland, the sky is cloudy and blue." height="2213" width="2950" msid="114281854" hostid="261"></div><h2>Public transportation is great in Ireland, and wildlife is everywhere</h2>There are many ways to explore Ireland with its excellent <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/taking-public-transportation-solo-backpacking-europe-2023-9">public transport system</a>, which includes buses, trams, ferries, boats, and trains that little ones will love riding. If you want to extend your overland trip, you can take ferries from the east and southern coasts of Ireland to France, England, Wales, and the Isle of Man to avoid the hassle of flying. You might even see a dolphin or a whale in the Irish Sea if you're lucky. Seals also haul out on the beaches and rocks along the coast, so it's fun to try to spot them. My son loved visiting the Seal Rescue Center in County Wexford, where we saw baby seals being nursed back to health. The abundance of countryside means that there is wildlife everywhere, including seabirds, deer, and otters. <h2>It's not hard to get food for even the pickiest eaters</h2>It also means that there are plenty of farms, so it's easy to find fresh local produce wherever you go. While my <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/your-kids-may-not-grow-out-of-picky-eaters-study-2020-5">toddler is a picky eater</a>, the basics in Ireland, like bread, butter, and meat, are all delicious, and he loved the sandwiches and stews. As sustainability is also important there, many towns and cities have zero-waste stores and discounts for people who bring their own coffee cups. Much like any parent with a young child, I'm trying to leave a better world for him, which was much easier to do in Ireland than most places I've visited. <h2>There's just something magical about the country</h2>While these are all reasons enough to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/long-flight-with-toddlers-snacks-entertainment-2024-2">visit Ireland with a toddler</a>, perhaps the best incentive is the mythology behind this emerald isle. From fairies to leprechauns, there is a tale to capture the imagination of every child. The books about mermaids were a particular hit with mine. Museums, visitor centers, and gift shops often sell storybooks, postcards, toys, and trinkets that bring these legends to life in a way that children can bring home with them. There are so many waterfalls, toadstools, coves, and fairy pools to discover all around the country that even as an adult, I believe the stories to be true. Correction: October 16, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated where the ferries depart from. They are available on the east and southern coasts, not the west coast.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su is launching a nationwide tour to promote good jobs.</li><li>The tour aims to highlight the importance of good jobs in pivotal swing states.</li></ul>Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su is hitting the road — and wants <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/julie-su-wants-fill-economy-good-jobs-2023-12">good jobs</a> to follow.Su is bringing the Department of Labor's "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.dol.gov/newsroom/releases/osec/osec20220621">Good Jobs Principles</a>" — a national framework for better working conditions and positions — across the country. And she's hitting several states that may <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/battleground-states-2024-presidential-election-road-white-house-2022-12">prove pivotal in the 2024 election</a>, with her first stop scheduled in Phoenix. Other stops include Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan."A good job is one that not only pays family-sustaining wages and benefits, but also one in which workers have a voice, where every worker goes home healthy and safe every day, and where families can get — in the President's words, 'some breathing room,'" Su told BI. "Throughout this summer nationwide tour, I will be highlighting the work that the Department of Labor has done with community partners on the ground to help ensure that every job is a good one, and that every worker feels the commitment that this Administration has made to fight for them."The tour comes as the Biden Administration faces a continued mismatch between economic reality and perceptions. While the labor market is booming, and wages are still going up, many Americans <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-is-us-economy-recession-outlook-2023-6">have felt continually dreary</a> about their economic outlooks over the past few years — what some have termed the vibecession.But the labor market has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/consumer-confidence-economy-stock-market-gas-prices-eggs-vibes-recession-2024-1">emerged as one bright spot</a> and bolstered Americans' perception of the economy in the latest reading of the Conference Board's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.conference-board.org/topics/consumer-confidence/press/CCI-May-2024">Consumer Confidence Index</a>."The Biden Administration has made improving job quality for this country's workers a priority—and we're seeing those efforts pay off," Su said.As part of the tour kickoff, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego will also announce the city's commitment to the Good Jobs Principles. When city officials sign on to the initiative, they commit to the framework as they seek federal funding for different types of projects.It's the DOL's latest attempt at promoting the idea of "good jobs," and making them more widespread. Part of Su's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/julie-su-wants-fill-economy-good-jobs-2023-12">guiding edicts</a> is to fill the economy with jobs that provide workers security, stability, good pay, and benefits. The Good Jobs Principles framework outlines eight hallmarks of what makes a job good quality; that includes hiring and recruitment from underrepresented backgrounds and doing away with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-ibm-accenture-dell-companies-no-longer-require-college-degrees-2023-3">unnecessary educational</a> or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/job-postings-no-education-college-degree-requirements-hiring-skills-indeed-2024-2">credential requirements</a> — a major barrier for many workers. It also includes better pay, benefits, job security, and access."It's not just good enough that we have created these jobs when a lot of people can't get to them. So it's embedding equity in the way that we're creating these jobs, " Teresa Acuna, the senior policy advisor and deputy director of the Good Jobs Initiative, said. That could mean everything from training to a transportation voucher to childcare."It means taking the more comprehensive look of some of the obstacles that workers have as to why we have a lot of over-representation of people in certain types of jobs versus others," she said.The tour stops are cities and communities that have already been actively working with the Good Jobs Initiative, as workers receive training and get to work."We're not parachuting in," Acuna said. "These are places we have relationships and we're probably going to be revisiting a few times in the next couple of months, but the tour is a snapshot in time of what a lot of this work has been happening already. And that's pretty exciting to us."Are good jobs a key issue for you in this upcoming election?

One witness told Hawaii News Now: "Frankly, I was a little nervous because we're 35,000 feet and you've got two guys swinging at each other, which makes no sense whatsoever."Southwest said in a statement to the outlet that the flight continued normally to its destination where it was met by local authorities."We commend our crew and customers for their professionalism in diffusing this situation," it added.42 days into the year, the Federal Aviation Administration has already received 206 reports of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.faa.gov/unruly">unruly passengers</a>.In an <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/USDOT/status/1757482320448151621">X post</a> about the incident, the Department of Transport said: "Reminder: Our department has zero tolerance for violent or unruly behavior aboard an aircraft.""If you act out on an airplane, you can face criminal prosecution and fines up to $37,000," it added.The number of unruly passenger incidents has been declining since the record 5,973 in 2021, as airlines returned from the pandemic.

A division bench of Justices Suresh Kumar Kait and Neena Bansal Krishna directed the Transport Department to refrain from taking any coercive measures against Rapido and other ride-sharing platforms until a comprehensive policy is formulated. In February, the app-based aggregators were prevented from plying bike taxis on the road without commercial permits. The Transport Department, ordering an immediate halt to the bike taxi services provided by these platforms, had warned that any violation will result in penal action. The public notice by the Transport Department said that the companies defying the orders will be fined up to Rs 1 lakh, as the use of bikes for commercial purposes violated the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Following the High Court decision, Uber has expressed its gratitude towards the court's order providing protection to the company against coercive actions regarding its bike taxi service in the capital city. "We welcome the High Court's order to give Uber protection from coercive action on bike taxis in Delhi. This will bring relief to drivers on our platform whose livelihood had been impacted by the ban as also to the hundreds and thousands of riders who choose to ride on Moto for affordability and last mile connectivity. We are committed to serving the city and being the platform of choice for riders and drivers alike," said Uber in a statement.
