BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The move comes as part of the lab's decision to halt collaboration with Russia and Belarus over their involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Europe's premier physics laboratory, CERN, announced on Sunday that it will cease cooperation with scientists affiliated with Russian institutes at the end of November 2024, affecting around 500 Russian researchers.

This move comes as part of the lab's decision, initially made in June 2022, to halt collaboration with Russia and Belarus over their involvement in the war in Ukraine.

Belarusian scientists have already been impacted, with around 15 researchers from the country losing access when Belarus's five-year agreement expired in June.

Russia's cooperation agreement, which expires on November 30, will not be renewed either, leaving Russian-affiliated scientists unable to continue working on CERN-related experiments.

"This applies to scientists affiliated with Russian institutes – less than 500 today – who will have to stop such cooperation," CERN spokesman Arnaud Marsollier confirmed, noting that the decision does not affect Russian scientists working with non-Russian institutions.

CERN has been home to a vast international community of 17,000 researchers, many working remotely on projects such as those involving the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The collider paved the way for breakthroughs, such as enabling scientists to confirm the existence of the Higgs boson, the particle that provides mass to other particles, such as quarks and electrons.

CERN has also looked for ways to employ the particle collider to generate energy during times of peak demand.

Lab Prepares for Major Losses

Around 90 Russian scientists have already moved to other laboratories, allowing them to continue their participation in CERN projects despite the severed ties.

The Soviet Union and Russia were never admitted as full members of CERN despite the cooperation dating back to 1955 under the USSR. Russia applied for associate membership in 2012, withdrawing its application in 2018 and acquiring observer status.

CERN is set to lose a significant financial contribution from Russia, which accounted for 4.5% of the operational costs of CERN experiments, totaling around 2.3 million Swiss francs ($2.7 million) annually.

Russia had also pledged 40 million francs for a major upgrade to the LHC, due in 2029.

However, CERN assured that other member states will cover the budget gap and that no delays in the upgrade are expected.
