It is trying to pass new legislation to allow the scheme to go ahead, after the Supreme Court said the plans were unlawful. What is the Rwanda asylum plan? Under a five-year agreement, the government said some asylum seekers arriving in the UK would be sent to Rwanda, to have their claims processed there. If successful, they could be granted refugee status and allowed to stay. If not, they could apply to settle in Rwanda on other grounds, or seek asylum in another "safe third country". No asylum seeker would be able to apply to return to the UK. Under the policy, anyone "entering the UK illegally" after 1 January 2022 could be sent to Rwanda, with no limit on numbers. Ministers have argued the plan would deter people from arriving in the UK on small boats across the English Channel. However, when the scheme was first announced, the most senior Home Office civil servant said there was little evidence the effect would be "significant enough to make the policy value for money". No asylum seeker has yet been sent to Rwanda - a small landlocked country central Africa - 4,000 miles (6,500km) from the UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-61782866

Jeep is considering adding gas-powered versions of the electric Wagoneer S and Recon, Jeep's CEO revealed to Automotive News. The two EVs are set to be built on the STLA Large platform that can also support pure-gas and hybrid powertrains. Jeep also intends to replace the Cherokee by the end of 2025, after discontinuing the model following the 2023 model year. Jeep's first EV, the Wagoneer S, is coming this fall, with the American SUV brand revealing images of the sleek crossover earlier this year and teasing details like a 600-hp all-wheel-drive powertrain. The Wagoneer S was originally unveiled alongside a boxy, off-road-focused EV called the Recon, also due next year. But according to Automotive News, the two electric Jeeps might also end up being offered with internal-combustion engines. The publication recently spoke with Jeep's CEO Antonio Filosa regarding the company's flagging sales. Among the possible solutions, Filosa suggested that Jeep could add gas-powered versions of the Recon and Wagoneer S to help boost sales volumes. If the company sees opportunities to profit with internal-combustion powertrains in either car, "we need to grab them or somebody else will," Filosa said. The Recon and Wagoneer S will be built on the new STLA Large platform, which supports electric, pure-gas, and hybrid powertrains. The hesitancy to go full-on into the EV business aligns with other moves from Jeep's parent company Stellantis, especially as EV sales growth begins to slow. The 2025 Dodge Charger will come with both electric and inline-six powertrains, and there are reports that the next-generation Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio, set to use the same platform, will get gas and EV options. In Europe, Stellantis's subcompact crossovers—the Fiat 600e, Jeep Avenger, and Alfa Romeo Junior—are being offered with EV and hybrid powertrains. The other main area that Filosa is eying for Jeep's rejuvenation is the mid-size SUV segment, which the brand ditched last year after a decade selling the Cherokee (which we categorize as a compact SUV). Filosa said the plan is first "to launch the products into the mid-size SUV segment," with Automotive News reporting that the Cherokee-sized hole in the lineup could be filled by the end of 2025. Jeep also killed off the subcompact Renegade after the 2023 model year, but the similarly priced Compass has taken over the entry-level crossover duties and seen an uptick in sales. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60524532/jeep-recon-wagoneer-s-ev-possible-gas-models-report/

Sudan, the world's last male northern white rhino, died in 2018. In his final years, he became a global celebrity and conservation icon, helping raise awareness about the brutality of poaching. There was a lot of hope riding on Sudan, the last male northern white rhinoceros. He was labelled the "world's most eligible bachelor" by the dating app Tinder, the "most famous rhino" by various news outlets and a "gentle giant" by the armed guards who watched over him 24-hours-a-day. But Sudan's life carried the baggage of a species decimated by poaching. In the Ol Pejeta conservancy at the foot of Mount Kenya, AFP photojournalist Tony Karumba captured a celebrated snapshot of Sudan on 5 December 2016, approximately 15 months before the rhino's death. At the forefront of Karumba's image is the tender relationship between the humans at the conservancy and Sudan. The photo is iconic but not iconoclastic, exemplifying an ordinary moment of the all-too-late-yet-genuine care that northern white rhinos received from the species that decimated them. Once lost, gone forever, only to live in photos like Karumba's photo series. As Sudan was released from his pen to pasture, Karumba captured his pictures. "There's trust and love all over that moment," says Karumba. "Being in Sudan's presence always felt for me like a visit with a sage; his demeanour, despite his behemoth self, had a way of conveying a calm patience with me and though his minders would always be hovering just outside my camera's frame, he [Sudan] was accepting of my wary intrusions and poised as though he was aware of his symbolism as the last icon of his subspecies." The photo showcases Sudan's craniate profile and his two horns, a trait characterising the white rhino subspecies, shaved off to deter poachers. Sudan's carer calms the two-and-a-half-tonned (2,500 kg)animal, whose head is longer than the man's torso. Karumba's vantage, his low viewpoint on Sudan, "emphasised the power and the stature of the rhino," says Michael Pritchard, programmes director at the Royal Photographic Society in the UK. "The power of this photograph is the interaction between this impressive animal and this human," says Pritchard. "There's a kindness, a relationship." https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240124-the-photo-of-sudan-the-last-male-northern-white-rhino

Liverpool's hopes of ending Jurgen Klopp's reign with a European trophy are over after they failed to overturn a first-leg deficit against Atalanta. The Reds travelled to Italy on the back of a 3-0 defeat at Anfield last Thursday and, despite controlling the game for the large periods, could not find the required goals and lost 3-1 on aggregate. Mohamed Salah's seventh-minute penalty, after a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross was handled, gave them hope. As the first half drew to a close, the Egypt forward lofted well wide when put through one-on-one, but Klopp's side struggled to create meaningful openings in the second period. It marks the end of a difficult 12 days for the Reds, who drew at Manchester United and lost at home to Crystal Palace to surrender their lead at the top of the Premier League. Attention will now turn back to the title race with Liverpool sitting third behind second-placed Arsenal and two points off leaders Manchester City. The league now represents their final chance to give Klopp a fairytale ending to his eight and a half years on Merseyside and add to their success in the Carabao Cup in February. Reaction to Liverpool's Europa League quarter-final exit against Atalanta Liverpool lack creativity as season threatens to peter out Ultimately, Liverpool lost this game in the first leg at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp said they would need to play the "complete game" in Italy to progress, and while they had more than 70% possession, this was Liverpool far from their best. They lacked an incisiveness going forward and with the pace of Darwin Nunez starting on the bench, they failed to get in behind the Atalanta defence and stretch the game. Klopp used his bench, calling for Nunez, Diogo Jota and Harvey Elliott with 25 minutes remaining, but it made little difference with the Reds only having two shots in the second half. Their expected goals was a meagre 0.11 in the second period, demonstrating the lack of quality they showed in the final third. Atalanta sit sixth in Serie A, 32 points behind leaders Inter Milan, but they were superb in this tie, defending valiantly and attacking with creativity, and deservedly progress to the last four. Klopp has managed Liverpool in five European finals during his tenure, but there will not be a sixth. Their season is in danger of petering out. Three away games in the Premier League in the next nine days could well define how their campaign pans out from here. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/68840310

Operations at Dubai International Airport remain severely disrupted after heavy rains battered the United Arab Emirates and neighbouring countries. The storm pounded the UAE on Tuesday, flooding roads and the sections of the busy international airport. Flash floods have now killed 20 people in Oman and one in the UAE. Some inbound flights resumed on Thursday, but on the whole Dubai International Airport, a major travel hub, is struggling to functio Jonathan Finchett, who is at Dubai International Airport, described "apocalyptic scenes" as he saw families barricading themselves behind luggage trolleys and a man appearing to collapse after what he described as a "stampede" towards check-in. Mr Finchett, from Chester in the UK, landed in Dubai on Tuesday where he was due to catch a connecting flight to Manchester in England. But when he arrived at the airport he found out no flights were leaving Dubai because of the storm, and was told his flight had been rescheduled for 3:00 local time (00:00 BST) on Thursday, organised by the airline Emirates - the single largest carrier at the airport. Mr Finchett said he was advised to arrive four hours before his new flight's check-in time because of the situation at the airport, but at half past midnight he was told "there would be no flights going from Dubai" and check-in for their flight would open at 09:00 on Thursday instead. Mr Finchett then found out his flight had in fact departed for Manchester at 07:00, while he was stuck in the airport unable to get passed check-in. "It had left without us being able to check-in and get on it," he told the BBC in frustration. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-68843049

Las vulnerabilidades que presentan algunos dispositivos no son nada nuevo, en este caso hemos visto como un nuevo fallo de seguridad permite tomar el control de las impresoras 3D de la marca Anycubic, aunque de momento este hack no se ha utilizado para malos fines. Hasta el momento, tan solo se ha visto cómo este problema simplemente tomaba el control de estos dispositivos indicando a los usuarios que leyesen un archivo que explicaba el motivo del hackeo. El problema que tiene lugar en los modelos vendidos por Anycubic tiene un trasfondo más allá de querer fastidiar a la gente, ya que según indican las personas que han llevado a cabo estas acciones, estos fallos de seguridad no se habrían expuesto al público si la empresa hubiese tomado acciones. Esta es la forma que han decidido utilizar para movilizar a los usuarios de la comunidad de Anycubic, haciendo que traten de presionar a la compañía para que corrija estos fallos de seguridad. Las impresoras 3D de Anycubic en peligro Uno de los principales problemas que tenemos hoy en día con respecto a los dispositivos es el hecho de que se conecten a internet, ya que al final esto implica crear un vector de ataque, y más cuando estos tienen vulnerabilidades extremadamente graves. En el caso de Anycubic estas vulnerabilidades no son nada nuevo, ya que el grupo causante de este hack llevaba tiempo investigando el motivo por el cual era posible hacer esto, creando diversos exploits que permiten tomar control de las impresoras 3D que comercializa esta marca. A la hora de descubrir una vulnerabilidad, existen dos tipos de personas, las que tratan de solucionar este error en colaboración con la compañía, y aquellas que simplemente tratan de aprovecharse de este fallo, haciendo que se convierta en un problema para los usuarios. Estos problemas implican que existe una forma de tomar el control por completo de los productos estrella de la compañía Anycubic, por lo que estamos hablando de un fallo de seguridad extremadamente grande… que no tienen pensado solucionar por el momento.

El mercado y uso de los ordenadores portátiles no ha parado de crecer a lo largo de los últimos años convirtiéndose en un serio competidor de los equipos de sobremesa. Las ventajas que nos ofrecen estos PCs son innegables, aunque también nos encontramos con algunos inconvenientes importantes. En un principio cabe duda de que la principal ventaja que nos ofrecen los portátiles es todo aquello relacionado con la movilidad. Este es un término cada vez más importante en el mundo de la tecnología. Tenemos la posibilidad de llevar equipos de estas características siempre encima ya sea por motivos de ocio o profesionales. Además a nivel de potencia muchos de estos ordenadores no tienen nada que envidiar a buena parte de los equipos de sobremesa que forman parte de nuestro escritorio de trabajo. Los hay incluso especialmente diseñados para jugar, lo que deja patente el enorme potencial de sus componentes hardware. Pero claro, no todo iban a ser ventajas. Aquí nos encontramos con el inconveniente que presenta la autonomía que nos ofrecen. La misma depende de una batería incorporada que dependiendo del uso del equipo sin conexión a la corriente eléctrica, su tiempo de vida de varía ostensiblemente. De ahí que a veces los usuarios tienen que hacer malabares con el fin de intentar aumentar la duración de esta batería además, lo que se puede convertir en un problema. Con todo y con ello, en estos instantes nos podemos encontrar con ordenadores portátiles que pesan menos de 1 kg. y con unas prestaciones realmente sorprendentes. Pero esto no siempre fue así. De hecho a continuación os vamos a hablar de los comienzos de estos equipos en concreto y cuál fue el primer fabricante que nos proporcionó uno. Así fue el origen del primer ordenador portátil Lo primero que debemos tener en consideración es que en la década de los años 70 empezaron a desarrollarse algunos equipos, que sin poder considerarse como portátiles, redujeron mucho su tamaño con respecto al habitual por aquella época. Podemos afirmar que los primeros equipos de estas características fueron los denominados como Dynabook . Pero también es verdad que el diseño de aquel prototipo parecía más una tablet de las actuales, que un portátil. A partir de ahí otras grandes empresas como IBM comenzaron la carrera fabricando los que se consideran como ordenadores personales. Como ello hasta llegar a los tiempos actuales en los que los dispositivos móviles copan buena parte del mercado tecnológico, como muchos de vosotros ya sabéis de primera mano. Qué empresa fabricó el equipo Pero no fue hasta el año 1982 cuando se lanzó al mercado el Epson HX-20. Este es un fabricante que desde hace años y en estos instantes muchos conocéis por sus impresoras, principalmente. Asimismo disponen de otros muchos productos como proyectores, pero desde luego en pleno siglo XXI no se les conoce por sus ordenadores, pero pasarán a la historia por este modelo en concreto. Con todo y con ello la mayoría considera que este equipo del fabricante Epson fue el primero en denominarse realmente como un ordenador portátil. Evidentemente su diseño distaba bastante de los equipos actuales. Este era bastante más tosco y poco agraciado, pero no dejaba de ser un portátil. https://www.softzone.es/noticias/general/fabricante-primer-portatil/

Sir Keir Starmer has accused Rishi Sunak of "smearing a working-class woman" after the PM made a jibe about Angela Rayner's tax affairs. Police are investigating Ms Rayner after claims she should have paid tax on the profits of a house sale. Sir Keir is backing his deputy, who has said she will stand down if she is found to have broken the law. But the Conservatives say Ms Rayner should publish the legal advice she says proves she has done nothing wrong. At Prime Minister's Questions, Sir Keir Starmer launched an attack on former Prime Minister Liz Truss, who this week published a book entitled Ten Years to Save the West. The Labour leader joked that he was the "proud owner" of a copy, adding: "It is a rare unsigned copy. It is the only unsigned copy. "It is quite the read. She claims the Tory Party's disastrous kamikaze budget that triggered chaos for millions was - her words - 'the happiest moment of her premiership'. "Has the prime minister met anyone with a mortgage who agrees?" To loud cheers from his his own side, Mr Sunak replied: "All I would say is he ought to spend a bit less time reading that book and a bit more time reading the deputy leader's [Angela Rayner] tax advice." The Labour leader has said he is "fully confident" Ms Rayner has not broken any rules and welcomes the police inquiry as an opportunity to clear the matter up. But he has come under fire from Conservatives for not asking to see the tax and legal advice Ms Rayner has received. Sir Keir's spokesman said the Labour leader's team had seen the advice and it was "clear" that Ms Rayner had followed the rules at all times. He rejected claims Sir Keir had avoided reading the advice to protect himself. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68838701

Europe is home to a bunch of forbidden automotive offerings that haunt the minds of enthusiasts in America. Our laws force us to wait a quarter-century before importing these Old World oddities, or risk the car being seized or destroyed. One Swiss Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wagon owner wasn't keen on or aware of that long wait and brought their car to the Chicago area under less-than-ideal means. Thanks to the folks at Auto Parts City in Gurnee, Illinois, this improperly imported Mercedes will live to see another day, despite the EPA's desire to see it crushed. The car in question is a 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wagon. The longroof variant of the S204 never made its way across the pond, despite both the coupe and sedan models proving po[CENSORED]r with enthusiasts. We did get the larger E-class wagons here in the States, but there's something particularly interesting about a much smaller wagon with that same AMG powertrain. In the case of this car, that means a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V-8 producing 451 horsepower and 443 pound-feet of torque. With a combination like that, it's no surprise this car's European owner wasn't ready to let it go when they moved to the Chicago area. Jeremy B from Auto Parts City told Road & Track that though the owner went through the importation process to bring the car here, the importer made some less than kosher decisions along the way. Most notably, the car was listed as a C240 model, which initially allowed the car to skirt the authorities. That only worked until the car was due for its annual emissions inspection, however, upon which the European VIN was discovered. The local emissions office then reached out to the EPA to flag the car, which prompted the agency to respond with two choices: destroy the car or ship it back to Europe immediately. It's unclear whether or not the Swiss owner was aware of the shenanigans from the start, but they did pay around $8000 to bring the AMG to the States. Unwilling to pay that sort of money to ship the car back to Europe, the owner opted to scrap the car with Auto Parts City. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60510735/mercedes-benz-c63-wagon-illegal-import-saved/

National Exercise Day 2024: Exercise is an integral part of wellbeing. It helps us to stay fit, keep diseases at bay and stay healthy. Exercises can help us to alleviate symptoms of many chronic diseases. Having a regular workout routine is important. Sometimes, the workout need not be intense – it can be low-impact workouts such as walking or cycling as well. Yoga is also a form of exercise routine which has a holistic approach in healing the mind and the body. Health experts recommend us to have a fixed and regular workout routine to stay healthy. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle. Every year, National Exercise Day is observed to reinstate the importance of exercise in our daily lives. As we gear up to celebrate the special day, here are a few things that we should be aware of. Date: Every year, National Exercise Day is observed on April 18. This year, the special day falls on Thursday. History: The history of exercises dates back to ancient Greece where Yoga was one of the first forms of organised physical activity that could provide spiritual and mental clarity. In Northern European Germanic tribes, exercises were used as a means of survival. Later, in 1949, Jerry Morris discovered the link between physical health and exercise when he studied the varying nature of heart attacks in people of different social classes, based on their levels of exercising. Significance: The best way to observe the special day is by initiating a workout routine and carrying it forward without fail. The day urges people to start having a workout routine. It also creates awareness about the importance of exercising to have a healthy and fit body. Workouts can help us to keep our stress levels low and alleviate symptoms of chronic diseases. It also helps us to stay focused and happy. https://www.hindustantimes.com/lifestyle/health/national-exercise-day-2024-date-history-significance-and-everything-that-you-need-to-know-101713364264148.html

A record number of manatees converged at a Florida state park this week. Experts weigh in on this "very unusual" phenomenon. Manatees are typically solitary animals, but this week they've gathered in record-breaking numbers at a Florida state park. Nearly 1,000 of the gentle sea mammals, also known as sea cows, were counted at Blue Spring State Park earlier this week, as first reported via the park’s Facebook page. That's a jump from the last record gathering on New Year's Day 2024 when park rangers observed 736 of the beloved animals in the same space. "This is very unusual," says Cora Berchem, a research associate at the non-profit Save the Manatee Club. "I was definitely expecting to see a high number, but not so many, so quickly." Researchers from Save the Manatee Club, an organisation that works to protect manatees, have been documenting the lives of the animals since 2010. The club records the births, deaths, and relationships of the manatees, which has meant over the years it has compiled one of the world's longest running manatee databases. The sheer number of manatees currently gathered together is notable, says Berchem, and while the reason for their arrival is uncertain, it may be weather related. The water in the nearby St Johns River, where the manatees are known to spend their time, recently dropped to a chilly 14.1C (58F). On that same day – easily the coldest of the year, says Berchem – a drove of manatees made a beeline for Blue Spring State Park, where the hot springs are typically a balmy 25C (72F) all year long. While the chubby round bodies of manatees may appear well-insulated, looks can be deceiving. Most manatees only have about one inch of body fat, and are extremely sensitive to chilly temperatures. "The last couple of weeks we've had really strong cold fronts, one after another," says Monica Ross, director of manatee research and conservation for the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. "Anything below 20C (68F) and a manatee will have to thermoregulate or they start losing heat. And below 16C (60F) they get cold stress syndrome – their extremities do not get blood flow and they could lose skin or portions of their extremities, such as a portion of their tail, from cold stress." In addition to the drop in temperatures, multiple algae blooms on Florida's east coast have killed off large swathes of seagrass, the manatees' main food source. Toxic "red tide" algae blooms have also claimed the lives of a number of manatees on Florida's coastline. Ross says both the drop in temperature and algae may be driving the increased numbers of manatees in locations throughout central Florida. And there's yet another possible reason why manatees are gathering at Blue Spring State Park: the location is a rare protected sanctuary for the animals, who are at risk of injury or death from collisions with watercraft. During the winter months (November through March) the park prohibits recreations such as canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240125-a-florida-state-park-reports-a-record-number-of-manatees-gathering-whats-behind-the-convergence

This year's battle for automatic promotion to the Premier League looks set to go right to the wire, with last season's relegated sides Leicester, Leeds and Southampton trying to bounce straight back. However, Kieran McKenna's Ipswich are currently top of a four-way fight. At the turn of the year Enzo Maresca's Leicester looked certain to bounce straight back up to the Premier League, topping the Championship table with a 13-point gap over third-place Southampton. But after the Saints' win over Preston on Tuesday, four teams are involved with just a handful of games to go. Leicester centre-back Conor Coady told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club about the psychology in this year's Championship title race. "I look at results all the time, of course I do. It's the first thing you do. You're hoping they've lost if you've won, to gain a bit of ground - 100% it affects you. "When they're on the telly you watch them and praying they might drop points. It's a natural thing to do, you've just got to make sure you're doing your own job." BBC Sport examines the run-in and Opta predictions.

Russia's military death toll in Ukraine has now passed the 50,000 mark, the BBC can confirm. In the second 12 months on the front line - as Moscow pushed its so-called meat grinder strategy - we found the body count was nearly 25% higher than in the first year. BBC Russian, independent media group Mediazona and volunteers have been counting deaths since February 2022. New graves in cemeteries helped provide the names of many soldiers. Our teams also combed through open-source information from official reports, newspapers and social media. More than 27,300 Russian soldiers died in the second year of combat - according to our findings - a reflection of how territorial gains have come at a huge human cost. Russia has responded to the BBC's report saying only the defence ministry in Moscow can give this kind of information. The term meat grinder has been used to describe the way Moscow sends waves of soldiers forward relentlessly to try to wear down Ukrainian forces and expose their locations to Russian artillery. The overall death toll - of more than 50,000 - is eight times higher than the only official public acknowledgement of fatality numbers ever given by Moscow in September 2022. The actual number of Russian deaths is likely to be much higher. Our analysis does not include the deaths of militia in Russian-occupied Donetsk and Luhansk - in eastern Ukraine. If they were added, the death toll on the Russian side would be even higher. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was the "exclusive prerogative of the Ministry of Defence" to provide information on casualties, because of laws covering state secrets and disseminating information during the "special military operation", the phrase Russia uses for its war in Ukraine. Ukraine, meanwhile, rarely comments on the scale of its battlefield fatalities. In February, President Volodymyr Zelensky said 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed - but estimates, based on US intelligence, suggest greater losses. Meat grinder tactics The BBC and Mediazona's latest list of dead soldiers shows the stark human cost of Russia's changing front-line tactics. The graph below shows how the Russian military suffered a sharp spike in the number of deaths in January 2023, as it began a large-scale offensive in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. As Russians fought for the city of Vuhledar it used "ineffective human-wave style frontal assaults", according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). "Challenging terrain, a lack of combat power, and failure to surprise Ukrainian forces", it said, led to little gains and high combat losses. Another significant spike in the graph can be seen in spring 2023, during the battle for Bakhmut - when the mercenary group, Wagner, helped Russia capture the city. Wagner's leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, estimated his group's losses around that time to be 22,000. Russia's capture of the eastern-Ukrainian city Avdiivka last autumn also led to another surge in military deaths. Counting graves Volunteers working with the BBC and Mediazona have been counting new military graves in 70 cemeteries across Russia since the war started. Graveyards have been expanded significantly, aerial images show. For example, these images of Bogorodskoye cemetery in Ryazan - to the south-east of Moscow - show a whole new section has appeared. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-68819853
