New Horizons: Nasa probe survives flyby of Ultima Thule The US space agency's New Horizons probe has made contact with Earth to confirm its successful flyby of the icy world known as Ultima Thule. The encounter occurred some 6.5bn km (4bn miles) away, making it the most distant ever exploration of an object in our Solar System. New Horizons acquired gigabytes of photos and other observations during the pass. It will now send these home over the coming months. The radio message from the robotic craft was picked up by one of Nasa's big antennas, in Madrid, Spain. It had taken fully six hours and eight minutes to traverse the great expanse of space between Ultima and Earth. Voyager 2 probe 'leaves Solar System' Tributes paid to 'Mother of the Hubble' US probe arrives at Asteroid Bennu Controllers at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland greeted the reception of the signal with cheers and applause. "We have a healthy spacecraft," announced Mission Operations Manager Alice Bowman. "We've just accomplished the most distant flyby." This first radio message contained only engineering information on the status of the spacecraft, but it included confirmation that New Horizons executed its autonomous flyby observations as instructed and that the probe's onboard memory was full. A later downlink on Tuesday will see some choice images returned to give scientists and the public a taster of what New Horizons saw through its cameras. If there is one note of caution it is that the timing and orientation of the spacecraft had to be spot on if the probe was not to shoot pictures of empty space! As a result, there'll continue to be some anxiety until the data can be examined. "The highest resolution images taken at closest approach required perfect pointing, almost," said Project Scientist Hal Weaver. "We think, based on everything we've seen so far, that was achieved." Ultima is in what's termed the Kuiper belt - the band of frozen material that orbits the Sun more than 2 billion km further out than the eighth of the classical planets, Neptune; and 1.5 billion km beyond even the dwarf planet Pluto which New Horizons visited in 2015. It's estimated there are hundreds of thousands of Kuiper members like Ultima, and their frigid state almost certainly holds clues to the formation conditions of the Solar System 4.6 billion years ago. The vast separation between New Horizons and Earth, coupled with the probe's small, 15-watt transmitter, mean data rates are glacial, however. They top out at 1 kilobit per second. To retrieve all of the imagery stored on the probe is therefore expected to take until September 2020. What's so special about the Kuiper belt? Several factors make Ultima Thule, and the domain in which it moves, so interesting to scientists. One is that the Sun is so dim in this region that temperatures are down near 30-40 degrees above absolute zero. As a result, chemical reactions have essentially stalled. This means Ultima is in such a deep freeze that it is probably perfectly preserved in the state in which it formed. Another factor is that Ultima is small (about 30km across), and this means it doesn't have the type of "geological engine" that in larger objects will rework their composition. And a third factor is just the nature of the environment. It's very sedate in the Kuiper belt. Unlike in the inner Solar System, there are probably very few collisions between objects. The Kuiper belt hasn't been stirred up. New Horizons' chief scientist Alan Stern says: "Everything that we're going to learn about Ultima - from its composition to its geology, to how it was originally assembled, whether it has satellites and an atmosphere, and that kind of thing - is going to teach us about the original formation conditions in the Solar System that all the other objects we've gone out and orbited, flown by and landed on can't tell us because they're either large and evolve, or they are warm. Ultima is unique." What does New Horizons do next? First, the scientists must work on the Ultima data, but they will also ask Nasa to fund a further extension to the mission. The hope is that the course of the spacecraft can be altered slightly to visit at least one more Kuiper belt object sometime in the next decade. New Horizons should have just enough fuel reserves to be able to do this. Critically, it should also have sufficient electrical reserves to keep operating its instruments into the 2030s. The longevity of New Horizon's plutonium battery may even allow it to record its exit from the Solar System. The two 1970s Voyager missions have both now left the heliosphere - the bubble of gas blown off our Sun (one definition of the Solar System's domain). Voyager 2 only recently did it, in November. And in case you were wondering, New Horizons will never match the Voyagers in terms of distance travelled from Earth. Although New Horizons was the fastest spacecraft ever launched in 2006, it continues to lose ground to the older missions. The reason: the Voyagers got a gravitational speed boost when they passed the outer planets. Voyager-1 is now moving at almost 17km/s; New Horizons is moving at 14km/s.

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY LIFE? Leading a healthy life is closely related to a way of life that includes the usual practice of physical activity accompanied by a healthy diet. Sports and health are closely linked. A balanced diet and sports are effective in slowing down health problems when both are a regular part of your routine. The adequate consumption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and proteins is essential for the normal functioning of the organism. Take a look at our selection of recipes to start building your healthy diet plan. It is recommended to follow a balanced and varied diet to lead a healthy life, although it is not always easy. Some nutrients such as proteins, calcium, vitamin C and vitamin D are key to the maintenance of good muscle, bone and joint health. Accepting life means recognizing and assuming the changes of our body and the different perspectives of it. Knowing the aspects that contribute to a good state of health and being open to discover new approaches and new habits can help us get the most out of life. PROTEINS AND THEIR FUNCTION IN A HEALTHY LIFE After water, the body is composed mainly of proteins. In fact, proteins are the main component of cells and are essential for life. Proteins are complex structures: they are formed by several smaller units called amino acids, which are linked together by chemical bonds that form a long chain. Some of these amino acids are called "essential", because being fundamental to life the human body can not produce them by itself and must be ingested with food. Our body is not able to store amino acids in the same way as carbohydrates and fats, so we need a daily intake of these that we get thanks to the proteins present in our diet. Functions of vitamins and minerals THE FUNCTION OF SOME VITAMINS AND MINERALS IN A HEALTHY LIFE Magnesium contributes to reduce tiredness and fatigue, normal energy metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles and normal protein synthesis, among other functions. Potassium helps maintain normal muscle function and normal blood pressure, and it is especially recommended if you exercise regularly. Zinc is an element that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Selenium, in addition to being known for its properties as a protector of cells against oxidative damage, contributes to the functioning of the muscles. Iron, vitamin C, riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12 and pantothenic acid all help the metabolism to produce normal levels of energy and fight fatigue. Calcium is a basic element of our skeleton, and contributes to the normal development of bones. The supplementary intake of calcium can contribute to maintain adequate bone health, especially in people with an intake below the optimal level. Phosphorus is responsible, among other things, for healthy bone formation.

Porsche increases its investment in technology provider companies It's amazing how the level of technology used in vehicles grows day by day in a huge way. Well, such is the degree of techniques used that in many cases the manufacturers themselves are being overrun by what they have to resort to other companies, many of them serve as startups, to be able to emerge and stand out from the competition. The above has not only generated technological suppliers are more, but the assembly companies are creating partnerships with small businesses focused on this area. There are even those who have taken a step further and are making part of them by acquiring shares or buying them in full. An example of this is Porsche that has increased its total investment in venture capital activities by $ 175 million dollars over the next five years, with the objective of accessing new technologies and business models for the future. These investment activities carried out by "Porsche Ventures" are largely based on the investments the company has in existing startups. As a strategic investor, the German brand is targeting business models related to customer experience, mobility and the digital lifestyle, as well as in future technologies such as artificial intelligence, the block chain, as well as the virtual and augmented reality. Through its venture capital activities, the manufacturer of sports vehicles is trying to invest in new companies that are in a start-up and growth phase. Among the latest investments made by Porsche Ventures corresponds to a stake in the startup "Gapless". This new company allows customers to digitally manage their classic vehicles and share information with other users in a secure format that prevents counterfeiting. To offer this service, the startup is developing a solution based on block chain technology, designed to maintain or increase the value of collector's pieces. Gapless is currently in the founding phase and has nine employees. Porsche Ventures has also recently invested in the WayRay technology company, which develops and produces holographic augmented reality head-up displays, and is working on the ability to integrate virtual objects into the driving experience. In addition, the manufacturer of Stuttgart has shares as a strategic investor in startups Anagog, Miles and home-iX, as well as the sports car and technology company Rimac. Along with direct investment agreements, Porsche invests in venture capital funds such as e.ventures, in Europe and the United States, as well as in the Magma and Grove funds, in Israel.

Syria conflict: Trump 'committed to defeating IS', says Lindsey Graham A top Republican has said US President Donald Trump committed to defeating Islamic State (IS) in Syria, despite his decision to withdraw US troops. Senator Lindsey Graham said he was now reassured of the president's commitment after meeting him on Sunday. Mr Trump's troops withdrawal plan was met with strong criticism from major allies, as well as senior Republicans like Mr Graham. The president and White House have yet to comment on any formal plan changes. On 19 December, Mr Trump announced the pullout of some 2,000 troops, asserting that IS had been defeated. Critics of the plan dispute this claim, arguing the move could lead to a resurgence of IS which would hurt national security. US troops have helped rid much of Syria's north-east of the jihadist group, but pockets of fighters remain. Two people have since resigned since the decision was announced - Defence Secretary Jim Mattis and a top US official in the fight against IS, Brett McGurk. Trump rewrites US-Syria policy After the caliphate: Has IS been defeated? Why the battle for northern Syria matters What did the president tell Senator Graham? Lindsey Graham, who had earlier called the withdrawal decision a "huge Obama-like mistake", told journalists: "The president assured me he is going to make sure he gets the job done. "He promised to destroy Isis. He's going to keep that promise. "I think we're slowing things down in a smart way," the South Carolina senator said. Implying that Mr Trump might rethink or delay the withdrawal of US troops, Mr Graham said: "I think we're in a pause situation where we are re-evaluating what's the best way to achieve the president's objective of having people pay more and do more." The BBC's Jonathan Marcus suggested that Mr Trump appears to be washing his hands of the Middle East and handing the whole job over to Russia, Turkey and Iran. Speaking later on CNN, Mr Graham also expressed concern that the US withdrawal would leave "our allies the Kurds" in the north of Syria exposed to attacks from Turkey. "If we leave now, the Kurds are going to get slaughtered," he said. "The president is reconsidering how we do this. He's frustrated, I get that." What is the US presence in Syria? US ground troops first became involved in Syria in autumn 2015 when then-President Barack Obama sent in a small number of special forces to train and advise local Kurdish fighters who were fighting IS. The US did this reluctantly after several attempts at arming anti-IS groups had descended into chaos. Over the intervening years the numbers of US troops in Syria increased, standing today at some 2,000, though some estimates place the number perhaps even higher. A network of bases and airstrips has been established in an arc across the north-eastern part of the country. The US has also been part of an international coalition conducting air strikes against IS and other militants.

Bangladesh elections: Security on high alert ahead of polls Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is seeking her third consecutive term in a general election on Sunday, in which more than 100m people are expected to vote. Security forces are on high alert ahead of the poll, with some 600,000 security personnel deployed across the nation. More than a dozen people have been killed in clashes between supporters of rival political parties. Ms Hasina is expected to win, while her main rival is in jail for corruption. High-speed mobile internet has been ordered to be shut down until after the elections, a decision made to prevent rumours and propaganda from triggering unrest, an official said. Why is this election important? Bangladesh is a Muslim-majority nation of more than 160 million people and faces issues ranging from possibly devastating climate change to endemic poverty and corruption. Since an Islamic State-claimed attack on an upscale bakery in the capital Dhaka in July 2016, the government has responded with an iron fist to put down Islamist militancy. Twenty hostages killed in Bangladesh cafe Is Bangladesh winning the war against militants? What you need to know about the Rohingya crisis The country has recently been in the international spotlight as hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims have fled there from neighbouring Myanmar. The government has been praised internationally for taking them in but faces sharp criticism for its human rights record in other areas. The polls also come months after tens of thousands young people took to the streets in large numbers to protest about road deaths - in a rare show of fury that the authorities and pro-government groups put down with force. "All we want is corruption to be gone and driving licences to stop being handed out like candy," one 17-year-old told the BBC in August. The lead-up to the election has been marked by violence and a crackdown on dissent by a government that critics say has only grown more authoritarian during its 10 years in power. How a traffic accident stopped a city of 18 million Bangladesh grows tired of the Battling Begums Who are the contenders? Sheikh Hasina is head of the Awami League - which has run Bangladesh since 2009. She is seeking a third consecutive term. Her father, the nation's first president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, is celebrated as the founding father of independent Bangladesh. He was assassinated in 1975. During the 1990s and early 2000s, Ms Hasina and her great rival, Khaleda Zia, alternated in and out of power, with the two known as the "Battling Begums" (Begum is a title used to refer to a Muslim woman of high rank.) But after years of bloody power struggle, Ms Hasina's Awami League eventually got the upper hand and has held onto the reins of government ever since. Ms Zia's Bangladesh National Party decided to boycott the last election in 2014 because the Awami League would not allow the polls to be held under a caretaker government. Many analysts now question if that was a wise decision. Ms Zia, who remains party leader, was sent to prison on corruption charges earlier this year, in a case which she claimed was politically motivated. She was barred from contesting in this year's election, on account of her recent convictions. Will the polls be fair? Many activists, observers and the opposition party say they won't be. And an opposition alliance led by the BNP argues that if the vote were indeed free and fair, the Awami League would not be able to win a majority. Human Rights Watch says that the government has embarked on a campaign of intimidation before the vote. "Members and supporters of the main opposition parties have been arrested, killed, even disappeared, creating an atmosphere of fear and repression that is not consistent with credible elections," the group's Asia director Brad Adams said. The BNP says that hundreds of thousands of cases have been filed by police against its members and activists in the last year. The government has denied it is targeting the opposition. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told Reuters news agency: "No workers of BNP have been detained or arrested without an arrest warrant or specific charges, the question of killing or murder does not arise at all." What pledges have been made? The main opposition grouping - the Jatiya Oikya Front, which includes the BNP - says it will lift restrictions on free speech and the media, if elected. It also talks about government accountability, promising to introduce a form of term limits and create an upper house in parliament. An Islamist party linked to the BNP - Jamaat-e-Islami - is not allowed to take part but more than 20 members are running as BNP candidates. Ms Hasina has said the opposition alliance is promoting "war criminals". Her party is running on a platform of increasing Bangladesh's GDP growth rate to 10% and creating more than 15 million jobs in the next five years.

Trump in Iraq: Seals, secrets, selfies, squabbles Donald Trump's unannounced Christmas visit to US troops in Iraq succeeded as a morale-boosting exercise, judging from the standing ovation the president got. Equally, and perhaps predictably, the trip had its controversial moments - and his legendary attachment to social media had something to do with it. Recognition: 'We're no longer the suckers' Mr Trump travelled to al-Asad airbase, west of Baghdad, to thank armed forces personnel for what they had achieved in Iraq against Islamic State (IS), the Sunni Muslim militant group, during his tenure as commander-in-chief: "Two years ago when I became president they were a very dominant group, today they're not so dominant any more. Great job." "We're no longer the suckers, folks," he said. "We're respected again as a nation." Image captionPresident Trump and his wife met military personnel at the al-Asad airbase, west of Baghdad Mr Trump was accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump on the first trip of his presidency to a war zone. The couple walked amid troops, posing for selfies and signing autographs. More than 5,000 US troops remain in Iraq to train and advise local forces, who are fighting what remains of IS following a string a victories last year. Exposure: Did smiling Navy Seals know the whole world would see their faces? Shortly after he left Iraqi airspace, Mr Trump proudly shared a video of what he'd been up to during the visit. But it didn't take long for eagle-eyed watchers to point out something it seemed Mr Trump and his team might have missed. It appears that those in the video include an elite US Navy Seal team, according to Newsweek. A team, the magazine pointed out, which would usually have their identities protected. Malcolm Nance, a former US Navy intelligence specialist, told the magazine it would be a very unusual decision to picture them so clearly while on duty because, if any of them were captured, "there would be no denying who you are and what you do". Mr Trump also took a selfie with US Navy Lt Cmdr Kyu Lee, who told him he was with Seal Team Five - a fact later reported by the pool of reporters travelling with the president. The White House has not commented on why they decided against taking such precautions, as some of his predecessors did. Fiction: What was the pay rise figure? The president also announced that he had secured a sizable pay increase for troops. Some of his advisers had suggested 2, 3 or 4%, he said, adding that he had made clear that this was not enough: "I said: 'No. Make it 10%. Make it more than 10%.' Because it's been a long time, it's been more than 10 years." But as a number of US commentators noted, armed forces personnel have in fact received a pay rise in each of the past 10 years. The increase for 2019, approved by Congress and signed by the president in August, will be 2.6%. It is the largest rise for troops since 2010, but not significantly more than last year's 2.4%. Secret's out: Trump's plane tracked Any trip by a US president has to be planned down to the last detail, to make sure there are no holes in the security arrangements. A trip to an active war zone has to be planned with special care - and secretly. Mr Trump was apparently very happy, regaling reporters with tales of how they had travelled with the windows closed and lights off so as not to attract any attention. But unfortunately, when you are in arguably the world's most recognisable aircraft, the chance of being spotted is always high. And on this occasion, Alan Meloy captured a perfect image of the plane soaring over Sheffield, UK, on Boxing Day. From there, Twitter sleuths and plane enthusiasts began to track the aircraft as it made its way across Europe and to Iraq, with a number of people guessing where it was headed. Mr Trump is, of course, not the only president to travel on Air Force One on a secret visit to a warzone. His predecessors have done so. However, the fact it was quite so easy to follow what the president was doing had more than a few people concerned. "Sources telling me Trump's on his way to visit troops - possibly in Iraq. Better late than never," tweeted Paul Rieckhoff, founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. "But also a bit troubling that so many folks seem to already know about this if it hasn't happened already. #OpSec anyone?" Friction: Iraqi host not too pleased President Trump was due to meet Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi during the trip but the talks were cancelled over what Mr Mahdi's office called "disagreements" over organisation. Iraqi MPs told Reuters news agency that Mr Trump had asked for the meeting to take place at the al-Asad military base, an offer declined by the prime minister. When asked if he had had concerns about the visit, Mr Trump told reporters: "Absolutely. I had concerns for the institution of the presidency - not for myself, personally. I had concerns for the first lady, I will tell you." Mr Mahdi's office said US officials had given Iraq advance notice of the presidential visit, but powerful local figures clearly took umbrage. Sabah al-Saadi, who leads the Shia Muslim parliamentary bloc Islah, called it a "blatant violation of Iraq's sovereignty". Qais al-Khazali, commander of Asaib Ahl al-Haqq, Iraq's most powerful Shia Muslim militia, also objected to the trip. He warned in a tweet that parliament would respond to the visit by "forcing the US troops to leave Iraq".

Kode 0, the exclusive Lamborghini Aventador with 'seventies' suit, back for sale Pebble Beach always brings together the most spectacular and exclusive cars on the planet and this Kode 0 is no exception. Conceived by Ken Okuyama, a designer known for giving shape to models such as the Ferrari Enzo, the Maserati Quattroporte or the Ferrari P4 / 5 from Pininfarina, it is based on a Lamborghini Aventador, but inspiring its body in the sports cars of the 70s, and is now on sale as used in the Classic Driver portal. This Kode 0, the last of Ken Okuyama's creations since he decided to embark on the design of his own cars, was presented last year at the Monterey show. Only five units have come to be manufactured from this spectacular retro-cut supercar and one of them, owned by Japanese Akihiro Orimoto, has already given time to go on sale. According to the Classic Driver tab, it has only traveled 2,200 kilometers, so the Kode 0 is practically new. In short, it is a little over a year old and it seems that its current owner has not taken much out of the garage. What is not revealed in the announcement is the price, but it will not be cheap: the Kode 0 announced a price of 1.5 million dollars when it was shown in Pebble Beach, to which we had to add that of the Aventador itself. The Kode 0, as happened with the kode57 also shown in the California event in 2016, aroused the interest of car enthusiasts with many zeros bank accounts. We're talking about Jay Leno, in this case. The presenter took him to his Jay Leno's Garage program, where they told us all their secrets. Although the mechanical and electronic part is intact, the good of Okuyama focused on recarrozarlo. The work took him about two years and, according to the designer, his lines are inspired by the "proportions of the dream cars of the 1970s", specifically the Lancia Stratos Zero, the Lamborghini Countach or the Ferrari Moduro. Thus, with conical and aristadas forms, the Kode 0 boasts a body completely resides and conceived in carbon fiber, so it manages to reduce its weight compared to the Aventador, stopping the scale in 1,550 kilos. In addition, Okuyama has incorporated daytime LED headlights and Novitec wheels of 20 and 21 inches, in the front and rear train respectively. Mechanically, as we have already pointed out, it does not change with respect to the Lamborghini Aventador, thus equipping the V12 6.5-liter rear propeller with 700 hp, with 690 Nm of maximum torque that we know of the LP700-4 variant of the Italian supercar. Likewise, it has the same Aventador robotic gearbox, the seven-speed ISR and a single clutch, as well as the same suspension. Who will be the lucky one to get their services?

Pope Francis urges peace in conflict zones in Christmas address The Pope has used his annual Christmas message to appeal for peace in conflict zones including Yemen and Syria. The two countries have both been ravaged by civil war for years, pushing their people into humanitarian crises. "My wish for a happy Christmas is a wish for fraternity. Fraternity among individuals of every nation and culture," Pope Francis said on Tuesday. The Pontiff was giving his yearly "Urbi et Orbi" (To the City and to the World) address in the Vatican. "My thoughts turn to Yemen, in the hope that the truce brokered by the international community may finally bring relief to all those children and people exhausted by war and famine," he said from the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, addressing the square below. He also said he hoped the international community would "work decisively for a political solution" in Syria - a country that is approaching its eighth year of civil war. "So that the Syrian people, especially all those who were forced to leave their own lands and seek refuge elsewhere, can return to live in peace in their own country," he added. The United Nations says more than 6 million civilians have been displaced there since the war there began. His address also alluded to worldwide tensions over migration, saying that God wanted "love, acceptance, respect" throughout all humanity. "Our differences, then, are not a detriment or a danger - they are a source of richness," he said. Church Christmas messages highlight poverty Profile: Pope Francis Pope calls for end to Syria 'carnage' Pope Francis revealed his hope for renewed talks between the Israelis and Palestinians to "undertake a journey of peace that can put an end to a conflict that for over 70 years has lacerated the land chosen by the Lord to show his face of love". 'A call for resolution' James Reynolds, BBC News in Rome On Christmas Day, a Pope can enjoy the luxury of the world's stage largely to himself. At mid-day, Vatican bands heralded Francis' entrance onto the balcony of St Peter's Basilica. The Pope addressed the pilgrims and tourists in the square below, turning the pages of his speech carefully as he called for the resolution of many of the world's conflicts. He also sent a message to minority Christian communities who are living in what he called hostile situations. In order to reinforce this thought, Francis has sent his Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, to Iraq to hold festive services with that country's small Christian po[CENSORED]tion. The traditional Christmas address is a short breather from some of the problems facing the Pope. This year, he has been criticised for his failure to understand the scope of the clerical sexual abuse crisis. Francis has called bishops from around the world to Rome in February 2019 to discuss how the church might respond. Image captionChristians gathered in Damascus on 23 December to watch a Christmas tree lighting The 82-year-old is the first Pope from Latin America - a region he also referenced in his annual address, calling for political reconciliation in Nicaragua and Venezuela. The Pontiff also referenced Ukraine, as well as the millions of people displaced in Africa. The address comes one day after Pope Francis' traditional Christmas Eve message, in which he condemned the huge divide between the world's rich and poor. In his homily, Pope Francis said the birth of Christ pointed to a new way to live "not by devouring and hoarding, but by sharing and giving". He continued: "Let us ask ourselves: Do I really need all these material objects and complicated recipes for living? Can I manage without all these unnecessary extras and live a life of greater simplicity? The Pope has made highlighting the plight of the poor a key theme of his papacy.

'Volcano tsunami' hits Indonesia after Krakatoa eruption This image of Anak Krakatoa was taken by Oystein Lund Andersen on Saturday At least 43 people have been killed and 584 injured after a tsunami hit the coast around Indonesia's Sunda Strait, government officials say. The country's disaster management agency says two people are missing, and hundreds of buildings were damaged. It says the possible cause of the tsunami was undersea landslides after the Krakatoa volcano erupted. The Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra connects the Java Sea to the Indian Ocean. The deaths were reported in the Pandeglang, South Lampung and Serang regions. The disaster management agency warned that the death toll is likely to rise further, adding that high seas as a result of the full moon may also have contributed to the strength of the waves. 'There were two waves' Oystein Lund Andersen, Norwegian volcano photographer, Anyer Beach in West Java I was on the beach. I was alone, my family were sleeping in a room. I was trying to photograph the erupting Krakatoa volcano. Earlier in the evening, there was quite heavy eruption activity. But just prior to the waves hitting the beach, there was no activity at all. It was just dark out there. And suddenly I saw this wave coming, and I had to run. There were two waves. The first wave wasn't that strong - I could run from it. Image captionFlooded streets in Anyer Beach after the tsunami I ran straight to the hotel, where my wife and my son were sleeping. And I woke them up... and I heard a bigger wave coming. I looked out of the window when the second wave hit. It was much bigger. The wave passed the hotel. Cars were pushed off the road. We and other people at the hotel went straight to the forest (on higher ground) next to the hotel. And we're still up on the hill now. - Oystein Lund Andersen was speaking to BBC World News television Footage posted by the spokesman of disaster agency showed the aftermath of the tsunami, with flooded streets and an overturned car. Data sementara dampak tsunami di Pantai di Kab Pandeglang, Serang dan Lampung Selatan hingga 23/12/2018 pukul 04.30 WIB: tercatat 20 orang meninggal dunia, 165 orang luka-luka, 2 orang hilang dan puluhan bangunan rusak. Data korban kemungkinan masih akan terus bertambah. End of Twitter post by @Sutopo_PN He had earlier posted footage of water rushing in and local residents trying to flee in panic. Emergency officials are now investigating whether the tsunami was caused by Anak Krakatoa, a volcanic island in the Sunda Strait. Volcanologist Jess Phoenix told the BBC that when volcanoes erupt, hot magma pushes underground and can displace and break through colder rock. This can trigger a landslide. But because part of Krakatoa is underwater, she said "instead of just causing a landslide, you get an undersea landslide which pushes water as it moves." This can then cause a tsunami. In September, more than 2,000 people died when a powerful earthquake struck just off the central Indonesian island of Sulawesi, setting off a tsunami that engulfed the coastal city of Palu. A town smashed to pulp in minutes The child who came back from the dead after tsunami On 26 December 2004, a series of huge waves triggered by a powerful earthquake in the Indian Ocean killed about 228,000 people in 14 countries, including Indonesia. Indian Ocean tsunami: Then and now Indonesia is prone to earthquakes because it lies on the Ring of Fire - the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim. Image captionSome residents in the Pandeglang region ran to a local mosque after the tsunami hit The Anak Krakatoa volcano has seen increased activity in recent months. Indonesia's geologic agency said that the volcano erupted for two minutes and 12 seconds on Friday, creating an ash cloud that rose 400 metres (1,300ft) above the mountain. It recommended that no-one be allowed within two kilometres of the crater. Krakatoa (Krakatau in Indonesian) In August 1883, it underwent arguably the most violent volcanic eruptions in recorded history: Massive tsunamis with waves up to 135ft (41m) killed more than 30,000 people Thousands more were killed by hot ash The eruptions were equivalent to 200 megatons of TNT - about 13,000 times the nuclear yield of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 The eruptions were heard thousands of kilometres away World temperatures dropped by more than 1C the following year The volcanic island virtually disappeared In 1927, a new island, Anak Krakatoa (Child of Krakatoa) emerged

Morocco murders: Three arrested over 'bestial' tourist killings The "bestial" murder of two young women in Morocco is being investigated as a terrorism attack, Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said. Three men were arrested on Thursday over the murder of Louisa Vesterager Jespersen, 24, from Denmark, and Maren Ueland, 28, from Norway. The pair were found dead from knife wounds near a po[CENSORED]r tourist spot on Monday. At least one of the suspects has been linked to an Islamist extremist group. One person had already been arrested on Monday, hours after the bodies of the two women were discovered with injuries to their necks. Police also supplied photos of the three other suspects, prompting a 72-hour manhunt. Moroccan news outlet 2M said they were shepherds, and had been arrested in the city of Marrakesh on Thursday morning. After the prime minister's statement, Denmark's PET intelligence agency said it was investigating a video circulating online, which appeared to show one of the two women being murdered. In the video, the words "this is in revenge for our brothers in Hajin" are heard, a reference to a stronghold of so-called Islamic State in eastern Syria that was seized by US-backed forces earlier this week. "We cannot say anything at this point about the video's authenticity," PET said, contradicting earlier reports that it had been verified. Reuters news agency quoted a police source as saying that the video appeared to have been filmed in a different place from where the bodies were found. "We do not know the circumstances, but there are many indications that the cruel killing may be a terrorist act," Mr Rasmussen said on Thursday.

They had been hiking in area near Imil, close to North Africa's highest mountain peak Mount Toubkal - an area po[CENSORED]r with hikers and climbers. They were found dead inside the tent they shared. Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg decried the "brutal and meaningless attack on innocent people", and said she had trust in the Moroccan authorities to find those responsible. Maren Ueland's mother Irene told public broadcaster NRK that the pair had been studying together at the University of South-Eastern Norway. Both are reported to have been experienced with outdoor activities, and to have prepared well for the hiking trip, which they took without a local guide. Is there a jihadist threat in Morocco? By BBC Monitoring Morocco has been largely spared the jihadist violence seen in other countries in North Africa since deadly bombings in Casablanca killed at least 30 people in 2003. The country enacted stiff anti-terrorism legislation to address the threat from its own nationals returning home after fighting for Islamic State group (IS) in Syria and Iraq - after an estimated 1,600 Moroccans joined jihadist groups there in 2015 Jihadists of Moroccan origin have also been involved in terrorist attacks in recent years in Belgium and France. In terms of jihadist presence in Morocco, both Islamic State and its rival al-Qaeda have failed to establish themselves in the country. But this does not rule out the possibility of attacks by sympathisers or operatives who believe it is their duty to act.

Poland reinstates Supreme Court judges following EU ruling Poland's government has reinstated a number of Supreme Court judges whom it had forced into early retirement. President Andrzej Duda formalised the move on Monday meaning that a third of top judges will now be reinstated. The government controversially lowered the retirement age for judges earlier this year, forcing many to quit, in what critics said was a political move by the ruling Law and Justice Party. The EU's top court ordered Poland to suspend the application of the law. Poland: What you need to know Critics said the law helped give Law and Justice (PiS) political control of the Supreme Court. The PiS has already appointed the majority of judges to the Constitutional Tribunal, which has the power to veto legislation, and also controls the body that nominates all judges in Poland. It argued that the reforms were needed to remove judges appointed during the communist era and to make the court more efficient. Why the government U-turn? The European Court of Justice's ruling in October was requested by the European Commission - the EU's executive arm - which argued that the reforms undermined the rule of law because they gave the governing party political control of the judiciary. On Monday, this decision was upheld and President Duda had until midnight to decide whether to comply. But the government had already agreed to scrap the law saying it respected the court's decision. "We are members of the European Union and we will abide by European Union law," the head of the PiS, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said last month. What was the law? The Supreme Court law, which lowered the retirement age for judges from 70 to 65, was introduced in July and triggered widespread street protests. More than 20 judges - about a third of the total - were forced to retire but will now be able to return to work. Opponents had feared the PiS would use the law to appoint new judges loyal to the authorities. One such opponent was the head of the Supreme Court, who refused to stand down and argued that Poland's constitution guaranteed her the right to serve a six-year term. Chief Justice Malgorzata Gersdor, 65, branded the reforms a "purge". The conservative government denied the accusations, and argued that the country's judiciary had not been properly reformed after the end of communism in 1989.

New system of the Lexus ES 300h with greater stability and zero noise The new Lexus ES 300h offers stability and noise reduction to the maximum, for the development of this new hybrid car the first thing that they took into account was the creation of the design and structure of the suspension, elevating with this to the maximum the stability of the vehicle, in addition to reducing the noise that can be generated. Functionality of the system For this Lexus created a new type of shock absorbers that have an oscillating valve and a slow-speed valve, with which when detecting a minimum movement in the wheels and in the suspension, it provides the application of the force in the shock absorber, granting with this a result of quietness, stability and zero noise, regardless of the speed at which the car is located. How does this new system work? The Japanese brand says that this cushioning system is unprecedented in the automotive sector worldwide; being the only one with the ability to provide stability and total silence, due to the way in which the oil circulates, because it does so slowly, allowing the oil between both high and low speeds, this system opens the valve main, thus suppressing the damping force, offering a smoother ride compared to other shock absorbers that are on the market. The stability of the new Lexus ES 300h as well as its cushioning system that offers greater quiet to the car, is also thanks to the new design of its suspension that has a double triangle located in the rear, exactly on the output shafts of the system placed with the maximum precision, thus granting a unique rigidity for its structure; this gives the opportunity to obtain an optimal result in the face of any reaction from the driver, without leaving aside a unique stability. Tests carried out and results obtained Some speakers of the Japanese brand have revealed that when they were evaluating the operation of the new Lexus ES 300h, through tests that were conducted in Europe, on different roads, pavements and climates, including tests on German roads without limits of speed, uneven mountain roads, urban streets with a variety of pavements and irregularities; In addition to being tested on the iconic Nürburgring circuit, always delivering excellent stability results and total noise reduction. Finally they clarified that this system of cushioning had to be installed closer to the back of the rear seats being separated with coil springs, so as not to detract space from the trunk.
