A network of shared song unites different groups of humpback whales, which move across the Pacific in search of food and rest. Humpback whales are very social animals. So much so, that unique knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation. All through song. In fact, they are able to identify their relatives by means of specific sounds, as has been observed from the coast of Australia to French Polynesia. A study recently published in Royal Society Open Science showed that even in breeding grounds near the equator, humpback whales share a common song. Each group has a specific 'choir', with which they know how to differentiate which may be their best partners in the mating season. However, the song is very similar. That's how it works. We suggest: Humpback whales are born in Mexico to learn how to survive Melodies as complex as jazz pieces The researchers noticed repeated behavior among the humpback whales. The mating song is so complex, however, that it can be compared to jazz pieces. And what's more: "each po[CENSORED]tion has a slightly different chorus of vocalizations that come together in a unique way," Science Alert reports. These phrases are called 'themes', and each whale has several in the same song. The researchers recorded how, from time to time, these pieces undergo a 'revolution', as described in the study. There comes a time when all the fragments that the males sing are replaced by completely new ones. Although it's still unclear why this happens, the study authors have found that these slight changes have powerful effects in attracting new mates. What is truly impressive is that completely different po[CENSORED]tions of humpback whales share exactly the same songs with each other, even though they are separated by thousands of kilometers. An underwater musical revolution This behavior was recorded over three years. Between 2016 and 2018, researchers managed to track this underwater 'musical revolution'. It originated in French Polynesia and, years later, was repeated in South America. The only thing connecting the two towns was the Pacific Ocean. In this regard, the researchers suggest that this transmission of knowledge is only possible through songs, which humpback whales learn from generation to generation: “THIS STUDY DEMONSTRATES THAT SONGS FIRST IDENTIFIED IN WESTERN PO[CENSORED]TIONS CAN BE TRANSMITTED ACROSS THE SOUTH PACIFIC, SUPPORTING THE POTENTIAL FOR CULTURAL TRANSMISSION OF SONG IN THE CIRCUMPOLAR SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE AND A VOCAL CULTURE RIVALIZED IN ITS EXTENSION ONLY FOR OURS”, THE RESEARCHERS WRITE. Because of the considerable distance that separated the two po[CENSORED]tions, scientists suggest that it is possible for related groups of humpback whales to achieve entire circumnavigation voyages. They learn the route through song, identifying other members of their groups by shared song fragments. The researchers think that the whales increase the volume of their song when they move to eat or reach their resting places. Specifically, when they migrate across the Pacific. Thus, the authors conclude, “The study of humpback whale song culture […] sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of social learning and cultural evolution in animals.” https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/las-ballenas-jorobadas-estan-conectadas-por-el-canto-en-el-oceano-pacifico/

The seventh-generation of the iconic Ford Mustang will be unveiled next week, and is set to undergo the most radical reinvention in its 58-year history. The sports coupé, which wears one of the longest-running (and historically best-selling) nameplates of any car currently on sale, will be shown for the first time at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on 14 September. Seen before as a camouflage-clad prototype, it’s clear that Ford will seek to evolve, rather than overhaul, the Mustang’s characteristic cab-backward silhouette and muscular design cues. Visible details include new lights at the front and rear and a sharper front grille, but it will be the changes underneath the skin that most tangibly differentiate the Mk7 Mustang from its predecessor. As previously reported by Autocar, Ford is expected to bring the Mustang into the electrified era with a new petrol-electric drivetrain centred around its trademark V8 petrol engine. To be sold alongside the new all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV, the S650-generation Mustang is expected to retain the current car’s 5.0-litre naturally aspirated Coyote V8, but this time with a pair of electric motors installed for reduced emissions, increased power and zero-emissions running capability. The new drivetrain layout was alluded to in patent filings in 2017, when launching a hybrid Mustang was a higher priority for Ford than the all-electric Mach-E. Essentially, the Mustang is set to become four-wheel-drive, with the rear axle powered by the V8 and the two electric motors used to drive the front wheels – either independently in EV mode or alongside the petrol motor in dynamic driving situations. According to the patent, each of the motors would drive its own wheel through a respective reduction gearbox, forming part of a four-wheel-drive system that would “increase wheel traction with a ground surface on which the vehicle sits to increase acceleration and decrease wheel slippage”. The 'pancake' motors in this scenario wouldn't be "rotationally coupled to the engine", according to the patent filing. Power would come from an integrated starter-generator (similar to in a conventional mild hybrid drivetrain), which would itself be powered by the V8's crankshaft, doing away with the need for a weighty and space-consuming traction battery. Mounting the EV motors directly to opposing sides of the engine's oil pan would save space, according to the patent filing, and allow for each to operate independently, thereby offering torque-vectoring across the front axle. A Ford spokesman declined to give further details of the S650 Mustang at this stage but said that the model will continue to form part of Ford’s European product plan. Last year, Ford ended European sales of the entry-level Mustang Ecoboost, which shared its turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine with the Ford Focus ST, due to slow sales. It remains unclear whether this powerplant could return in conjunction with a hybrid system, but Ford’s patent applies to V-shaped engines. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-2023-ford-mustang-be-revealed-next-week

Russian forces have withdrawn from key eastern towns, as a rapid Ukrainian counter-attack makes further gains. Ukrainian officials said troops entered Kupiansk, a vital eastern supply hub for Russian forces, on Saturday. Russia's defence ministry then said its troops have retreated from nearby Izyum to allow them "to regroup". The ministry also confirmed the withdrawal of troops from a third key town, Balaklyia, in order to "bolster efforts" on the Donetsk front. The Ukrainian advances - if held - would be the most significant since Russia withdrew from areas around Kyiv in April. In his nightly video address on Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that Ukraine had now liberated 2,000 sq km (700 sq miles) from Russia since beginning a renewed counter-offensive earlier this month. His claim would suggest that half of that area has been recaptured in the last 48 hours alone - as it is twice the area of territory Mr Zelensky said had been liberated when he spoke on Thursday evening. Russia's admission of a withdrawal from Izyum is significant because it was a major military hub for Moscow. "A three-day operation was carried out on the drawdown and organised transfer of the Izyum-Balakliya group of troops to the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic," the Russian statement said. "In order to prevent damage to the Russian troops, a powerful fire defeat was inflicted on the enemy." Shortly afterwards, the chief administrator of Russian-controlled parts of the Kharkiv region recommended that its residents evacuate to Russia "to save lives", according to the Russian state-run Tass news agency. And the governor of the neighbouring Belgorod region, in Russia, said mobile catering, heating, and medical assistance would be available to people queuing to cross the border. The advances will be seen as a sign that Ukraine's army has the capacity to retake Russian-occupied territory, crucial as Kyiv continues to ask its hard-pressed Western allies for military support. Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said the latest developments had shown its forces were able to defeat the Russian army and could end the war faster with more Western weapons. Encouragement for Kyiv and allies Analysis by Orla Guerin, Senior International Correspondent in central Ukraine The pace of the counter-offensive has not only caught the Russians off guard, but even surprised some Ukrainians. People here have been struggling to keep up with news of the latest gains. The Russians have now lost two key logistics hubs - the railway cities of Izyum and Kupiansk. This is a military setback and a public humiliation for President Putin. We cannot reach the frontlines. Journalists have been denied access. Ukraine is determined to control the information war. But plenty of footage has emerged on social media showing Ukrainian troops raising their flag in newly liberated areas. All of this is cathartic for Ukraine and reassuring for its Western backers. The Russians still hold around a fifth of the country and few imagine a swift end to the war. But the Ukrainians have now shown they can beat the Russians in battle, not just outmanoeuvre them. According to one military expert, it's the first time since World War Two that whole Russian units have been lost. Earlier, UK defence officials said Ukraine had advanced 50km (31 miles) into previously Russian-held territory. "Russian forces were likely taken by surprise," the UK Ministry of Defence said. "The sector was only lightly held and Ukrainian units have captured or surrounded several towns." Ukraine launched its counter-offensive in the east earlier this week, while international attention was focused on an anticipated advance near the southern city of Kherson. Analysts believe Russia redirected some of its most seasoned troops to defend the city. But as well as gaining ground in the east, Ukraine is also making gains in the south, an official said. Nataliya Gumenyuk, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian army's southern command, said they had advanced "between two and several dozens of kilometres" along that front. But Russian forces fighting on the southern front are said to have dug into defensive positions, and Ukraine's troops have faced heavy resistance since the offensive began. And in Kharkiv itself, one person was killed and several homes damaged on Saturday as Russian rocket fire hit the city, according to local officials. Ukrainian officials shared a picture on social media that appeared to show Ukrainian troops holding up the country's flag in front of Kupiansk city hall, with the Russian flag at their feet. On Friday President Zelensky said his forces were "gradually taking control of new settlements" and "returning the Ukrainian flag and protection for all our people". Ukraine suggests UN peacekeepers for nuclear plant What military equipment is the world giving to Ukraine? He also said that national police units were returning to liberated settlements and urged civilians to report suspected Russian war crimes to them. His call followed a report from the UN's monitoring team in Ukraine which said they had "documented a range of violations against prisoners of war" by Moscow's forces. The report also accused Ukrainian troops of "cases of torture and ill-treatment of prisoners of war". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62860774

he new monarch of the United Kingdom, Charles III, promised this Friday to serve "all life", like his late mother Elizabeth II, to some Britons mourning the death of the iconic queen and who embraced the new monarch with shouts of "God save the king!". (Read here: The world says goodbye to Elizabeth II: queen who sealed her name in world history) "My beloved mother", when she turned 21, "committed (...) to dedicate her life, whether short or long, to the service of the people," recalled the King in his first speech to the nation, recorded in the Buckingham Palace and which was broadcast this Friday by television networks. "Today I renew that promise of service throughout life," added Carlos III, 73, committing himself to defend "constitutional principles." Thousands of people greeted him with a standing ovation on his return to London from Scotland, 800 kilometers to the north, where Elizabeth II died on Thursday, aged 96, at Balmoral Castle. “God save the king!” shouted the crowd when Carlos III got down with his wife, the queen consort Camilla, from the official Rolls Royce that took them from the airport to the gates of Buckingham, where it was hoisted for the first time for him. the royal standard Taking a long walk, the new monarch shook many hands and loudly received messages of condolences and support. Could King Charles III abdicate the throne of England? Video The changes that await the British monarchy after the death of Elizabeth II Balmoral: this is the residence where Queen Elizabeth II died The King thus wanted to show his most human and close facet, very different from the distant and stretched image that has always been attributed to him. He spared no contact and smiles with the public, although without going as far as he intended a spontaneous one that he tried, unsuccessfully, to kiss the new monarch. Automatically converted into king after the death of his mother, Carlos III will be officially proclaimed monarch this Saturday. However, it is worth mentioning that his official coronation may take a few more months. The Ascension Council will meet at 10 a.m. m. (4 a.m. in Colombia) in the San Jaime palace and the proclamation will be read in public an hour later from a balcony, before being repeated in other emblematic places. On the other hand, during his first speech, Charles III also announced the appointment of his eldest son, William, 40, as the new Prince of Wales and heir to the throne. His wife, Catherine, will be Princess of Wales, a title not used since Lady Di's death in 1997. In his speech, the new monarch also expressed "love" to his youngest son, Enrique, 37, and his wife, former American actress Meghan Markle, who "continue to build their lives abroad ”. The royal family has maintained a tense relationship with the couple since they left their duties in 2020 and went to live in the United States. In addition, the King's first act in Buckingham was to meet with the new prime minister, Liz Truss, appointed on Tuesday to replace Boris Johnson, for whom it was also a first since he did not have time to hold any of the usual audiences with Elizabeth II. meetings between the heads of state and government. Elizabeth II was "one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known," Truss said hours earlier during a tribute in Parliament. Later, the head of government read a passage from the Bible in a religious service held in honor of the Queen in Saint Paul's Cathedral: "None of us lives for himself, and none of us dies for himself, because if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord.” The bells of the great Anglican cathedral rang at noon, like those of Westminster Abbey and others in the country, in honor of the late monarch. 96 cannon salvos were also fired at various locations in the UK, for the queen's lifetime. "I loved her. She was the only leader worthy of that name left in the country, ”lamented Paul White, 48, on the London underground with a newspaper in his hands, monopolized, like everyone else, by the death of the Queen. "Carlos III (...) will have a hard time reigning after her, but I will support him and his family," he added. As Britons and visitors alike gathered with flowers and photos outside Buckingham Palace, tributes poured in from around the world. US President Joe Biden praised a "stateswoman of unparalleled dignity and perseverance," announcing that she will be at her funeral. Japan's Emperor Naruhito praised Elizabeth II's "many achievements and contributions." While Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed that Elizabeth II had "authority" in the world, but she does not plan to travel to London, he specified his spokeswoman on Friday. After the enormous po[CENSORED]rity enjoyed by Elizabeth II, the truth is that the future of the British monarchy is predicted to be more complicated with Charles III, less appreciated by public opinion. The British prefer his eldest son, Guillermo, and his wife, Catalina, who together with his young children, Jorge, Carlota and Luis, appear as a more modern family. The truth is that Carlos III began his reign being much less loved than his mother. According to a 2021 YouGov poll, just over a third of respondents thought he would make a good king, while more than 70 percent had a favorable opinion of Elizabeth II. https://www.eltiempo.com/mundo/europa/rey-carlos-de-inglaterra-primer-discurso-y-anuncio-de-duelo-nacional-701211

The new hypothesis suggests that the second asteroid and the one that gave rise to the Chicxulub crater were released from the same celestial body. 66 million years ago an asteroid impacted the northwest of the Yucatan peninsula, thus giving rise to the Chicxulub crater. The cataclysm generated by this body initiated a mass extinction that took 75% of the species that inhabited the Earth at that time. However, this may not have been the only large rock to hit the planet. Recent findings suggest that a second asteroid may have been linked to the fatal event. The asteroid, which has so far been linked to this extinction, is estimated to have been about 12 kilometers across. Its impact opened a depression 200 kilometers wide and caused earthquakes, tsunamis and a fire storm. In the long term, this disaster was aided by the accumulation of various materials that covered the atmosphere. This, as a consequence, brought a freezing period, from which many species failed to survive. It may interest you: What do we know about Chicxulub, the massive asteroid that hit Yucatan and exterminated the dinosaurs Despite this, the story may not be complete. Indeed, recently, a group of researchers found another crater, located 400 kilometers off the coast of Guinea (Africa). Due to the proportions of the body that could collide in this part of the planet, and other details of the investigation, scientists point out that there is a high probability of a second asteroid involved in the extinction of 66 million years ago. The case study has been published by the journal Science Advances. A second asteroid could be linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs The newly found crater has been given the name 'Nadir', after a nearby underwater volcano. The Great Depression was identified by Uisdean Nicholson, a researcher at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland. This happened thanks to the registration of the area that the specialist had been doing, with the aim of looking for an ideal place to drill and continue studying the Earth's past climate changes. «THESE SURVEYS ARE LIKE AN ULTRASOUND OF THE EARTH. I PROBABLY SPENT THE LAST 20 YEARS PERFORMING THEM, BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS," NICHOLSON TOLD THE BBC. The Nadir crater is 8.5 kilometers wide and was found more than 300 meters below the seabed. The proportions of this second asteroid appear as smaller, compared to those of the body that gave rise to the Chicxulub crater. However, the researchers indicate that the second could have caused earthquakes and tsunamis, thus adding to the devastation generated by the first. It may interest you: Serious drought in the United States reveals dinosaur footprints in a state park The new hypothesis of the scientists involved indicates that two large asteroids broke off from the same celestial body: the one from the Chicxulub crater and the one from the Nadir crater. The specialists arrived at this assumption after analyzing the geological layers adjacent to the crater of Africa. The result showed that the depression formed towards the end of the Cretaceous period, that is, approximately 66 million years ago. What remains to be known The meaning of this discovery can reach new horizons. Scientists could start from this new fact to know the consequences of the hit of a second asteroid. This, of course, is with a view to seeing what the Earth could suffer in the future because of this background. "A MUCH SMALLER COUSIN, OR A SISTER, DOESN'T NECESSARILY ADD TO WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE EXTINCTION OF THE DINOSAURS, BUT IT DOES ADD TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASTRONOMICAL EVENT THAT WAS CHICXULUB," SEAN P.S. GULICK, ONE OF THE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS INVESTIGATION, TO THE BBC. On the other hand, it is also necessary to recognize that not all scientists are equally enthusiastic about this discovery. This is the case of Michael Rampino, a geologist at New York University. This specialist mentions that this second asteroid is far from having caused a catastrophe like the one caused by Chicxulub, therefore, he considers that they cannot be given a similar importance, since the effects would not have been global. Scientists still need to inspect the crater rocks in Africa for more concrete evidence on the matter. To approach what they propose here, then there would be new questions regarding this mass extinction. Important details remain to clarify what exactly happened 66 million years ago. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/segundo-asteroide-podria-vincularse-con-la-extincion-de-los-dinosaurios/

The Lexus RX SUV is a quiet, understated seller in the UK and this “95% new” version looks like it’ll pick up from where the last one leaves off when it goes on sale in early 2023. It’s based on an uprated version of Lexus’s GA-K platform, which underpins the smaller NX SUV, and it remains the same size as the outgoing RX, at 4.89m long, albeit with wider front and rear tracks and a 60mm-longer wheelbase, which increases interior space. With more torsional rigidity because of some strengthening at the rear of the chassis, it has a new multi-link rear suspension system and, like the NX, MacPherson struts at the front. The new RX comes in three different flavours, all electrified to an extent, but all quite differently. The most straightforward is the RX 350h, which has a 2.5-litre four-cylinder in-line engine mated to Toyota/Lexus’s trusty hybrid system, which uses two motor generators and the petrol engine mated via a planetary gearset so that the engine and one drive motor can spin at whatever speed the electronics dictate, regardless of the wheel speed. (It’s incredibly hard to explain until you see a model of it.) In this guise, the petrol engine makes 188bhp and the front electric motor 180bhp, but there’s also a 54bhp motor for the rear axle. The hybrid uses an NiMH battery of undisclosed size. All up, the maximum power is 247bhp and its rivals are typically smallish-diesel-engined alternatives. Then there’s the meat of the new range, the RX 450h+ plug-in hybrid, whose 2.5-litre engine makes 182bhp and which has the same 180bhp front and 54bhp rear motor. And yet because it has an 18.1kWh li-ion battery (as well as the NiMH one), total power is 304bhp and there’s an electric-only range of 40 miles, with selectable hybrid or full EV mode and a 6.6kW battery charge speed. Once the big battery’s depleted, it’s back to the regular hybrid system, as per the RX 350h. In our brief experience, it looked like it would probably manage that distance, too, albeit that was in hot weather. Keeping up? Then I’ll continue, to the car “for the most demanding petrolheads”, the RX 500h, which is sillier because it combines a turbocharged 2.4-litre engine (268bhp) directly linked to a single electric motor (another 86bhp) where the flywheel would be, with a single clutch between them and a six-speed automatic gearbox. At the rear axle is a 102bhp electric motor, making a system total of 366bhp and 551lb ft. All of that means the RX can deliver either 256.8mpg (the cleanest PHEV) or 34.0mpg (the least clean RX 500). And thank heavens we don’t get the regular combusted RX 350 because I’m already halfway through this first drive. The rest of the RX is – also thankfully – similar between all models. The interior is good. Solid of ambience and spacious in the back and the boot, with “less focus on ornamentation, more on texture and feel”, according to Lexus bosses, which means that the materials feel well put together and the switchgear is mostly clean. There’s a 14.0in touchscreen but even Toyota advises that phone integration is the way forward. There’s also, despite the relatively big differences in how they’re powered, a consistency to how RXs drive. The steering is smooth and the ride settled. Refinement is really high, with low wind noise and just a little road noise. Under acceleration, the 350h and 450h hum a bit because Toyota’s hybrid system puts them in a high-rev range and leaves them there. The 500h, with its smooth six-speed gearbox, is a little more rewardingly thrummy and responsive, but not actually much quicker than the plug-in. (The 0-62mph times are 6.2sec versus 6.5sec.) And while there’s adaptive damping on the top-spec model to keep a firmer control of body movements, it’s still nothing like as rewarding or angry as, say, a Jaguar F-Pace SVR. It’s just a way to burn a lot more fuel and pay more tax than in a plug-in hybrid. In fact, if you’re looking for fun – although, let’s face it, you’re probably not – the 350h is the one to go for because it’s the only RX whose kerb weight starts with a ‘1’ and it’s a little more agile and responsive by dint of being 130kg lighter than the 450h+ or 500h, both around 2100kg, although these things are relative. It’s a stable, steady drive rather than an overtly dynamic one. There’s no pricing yet because it’s not on sale until next year and lord only knows what’ll happen between now and then, so I can’t honestly give it a star rating. But I don’t know how much that’ll matter: the dealer and ownership experience is generally the five-star thing, with the car almost secondary, and I don’t imagine that’ll change that much this time around – no matter the powertrain. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/lexus/rx

Queen Elizabeth's children have shared their favourite memories of their mother's sense of humour, love of family holidays and "fantastic twinkle". The royals were speaking as part of a BBC One Special - A Tribute to Her Majesty The Queen. A memorable bath time King Charles recalled a moment before Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953. "I shall never forget, when we were small, having a bath and she came in practicing wearing the crown before the coronation," he said. "All those sorts of marvellous moments, I shall never forget." Charles was just three years old when his mother ascended to the throne. Now 73, he has had more training in the lead up to becoming King than any other British monarch. But he will miss having his mother to talk to: "She was always there, I could talk to her about this, that, or the other. I think that's always going to be something that will be very difficult not to have." Private family holidays During a life of public service, moments of privacy were treasured, and they were often found in family holidays, the Queen's only daughter, Princess Anne, said. "There was a lot going on in those periods... it was probably the times she most enjoyed," the 72-year-old Princess Royal told the BBC. "Partly because it included all the things she enjoyed - the countryside, the dogs, the horses, and just being out and about - and being able to get away a bit from that public gaze." 'They just couldn't believe it' The Queen's youngest son reminisced about "probably the most jaw-dropping moment in any film television production": her entrance to the 2012 London Olympic Games opening ceremony. A short film shows the Queen at Buckingham Palace meeting Daniel Craig, who played the famed secret agent James Bond in five films. With corgies in tow, the monarch boards a helicopter and then skydives into the Olympic stadium - with some help from a stunt double. "There was Daniel Craig as James Bond, arriving at Buckingham Palace… and everybody, wherever you were in the world, was thinking exactly the same thought - who will be playing the Queen? And it was the Queen," Prince Edward, 58, said. "And it had the same effect on everybody who was watching - they just couldn't believe it. "I thought it was an extraordinary moment because it just showed that fantastic twinkle and sense of humour - the fact that my mother kept that completely to herself, and the team didn't tell anybody was just brilliant." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62853265

Queen Elizabeth II died Thursday at her Balmoral residence at the age of 96, after a reign of 70 years. After the monarch's death, the throne passes immediately and unceremoniously to her heir, Charles, until then Prince of Wales. However, there are a number of practical and traditional steps that he must go through before being crowned king. What is his name? Starting this Thursday is King Carlos III. This has been his first decision as monarch. He could have chosen from any of his four names: Carlos Felipe Arturo Jorge. Carlos is not the only one to change titles. Although he is heir to the throne, Prince William will not automatically become the Prince of Wales. However, he will immediately inherit his father's other title, Duke of Cornwall. His wife Kate will now be known as the Duchess of Cornwall. There is also a new title for Charles's wife: queen consort, the term used for the monarch's wife. formal ceremonies In the first 24 hours after the death of his mother, Carlos will be officially proclaimed as king. This happens at St James's Palace in London, in front of a ceremonial body known as the Promotion Council. This is made up of members of the Privy Council, a group of senior members of Parliament, past and present, as well as other civil servants, Commonwealth High Commissioners and the Lord Mayor of London. More than 700 people are entitled to attend the ceremony, but the number of attendees is likely to be lower. At the last Ascent Council in 1952, there were around 200 attendees. Traditionally, the king does not attend. At the ceremony, Queen Elizabeth II's death will be announced by the President of the Privy Council (currently Penny Mordaunt MP) and the proclamation will be read aloud. The wording of the proclamation may change, but traditionally it has consisted of a series of prayers and promises, praising the previous monarch and pledging support for the new one. This proclamation will then be signed by a number of high officials including the Prime Minister, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chancellor. As in these ceremonies, attention will be paid to what may have been altered, added or updated, as a sign of a new era. The king's first statement The Ascent Council meets again, usually a day later. On this occasion the king does attend with the Privy Council. There is no "oath" at the beginning of the reign of the British monarch in the style of other heads of state, such as the president of the United States. But there is a declaration made by the new king, in line with a tradition dating back to the early 18th century, in which he will take an oath to preserve the Church of Scotland. Following a fanfare of trumpeters, a public proclamation will declare Charles the new king. This will be done from a balcony in the Friary Court of St James's Palace in London, through an official known as the Garter Chief King of Arms. This figure will then pronounce: "God save the king", and for the first time since 1952, when the national anthem is played the words will be "God save the king" and not "God save the queen". Salutes will then be fired in Hyde Park, from the Tower of London and from naval vessels, and the proclamation announcing Charles as king will be read in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast, the capitals of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, respectively. the coronation The great symbolic moment of the promotion will be the coronation, in which Carlos is officially crowned. Due to the preparation that is required, it is probable that the coronation will not take place shortly after the accession of Carlos III. Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne in February 1952, but she was not crowned until 1953. For the last 900 years the coronation has been held in Westminster Abbey. William the Conqueror was the first monarch to be crowned there and Charles III will be number 40. It is an Anglican religious service, officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. At the crowning moment of the ceremony, the archbishop will place the crown of Saint Edward on Charles' head, a solid piece of gold dating from 1661. The crown is the main piece of the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London and is only worn by the monarch at the time of coronation (especially given its weight of 2.23kg). Unlike royal weddings, the coronation is a state event, and the government pays for it and ultimately decides the guest list. There will be music, readings and the anointing ritual of the new monarch, using orange oil, roses, cinnamon, musk and ambergris. The new king will take the coronation oath in front of an expectant world. During this ceremony he will receive the orb and scepter as symbols of his new role and the Archbishop of Canterbury will place the solid gold crown on open his head. Head of the Commonwealth of Nations Carlos has become head of the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of 56 independent countries and 2.4 billion people. In 14 of these countries, including the UK, the king is considered the head of state. These countries, known as Commonwealth realms, are: Australia, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, New Zealand, Solomon and Tuvalu. ©All photographs are copyrighted.

Despite the fragmentation of its ecosystem, 'El Jefe' broke survival records among jaguars on the US-Mexico border. This is his story. The border wall that divides Mexico with the United States measures at least 3,142 kilometers. Especially after the Trump administration, which used this physical division as one of the main lines of action to safeguard the security of American citizens. However, there are spaces where there is still no human intervention: "nature forms its own barrier", as documented by the BBC in 2020. Deserts, mountains, wetlands, and the Rio Grande connect wildlife between Mexico and the United States. This is how the natural history of the Earth has dictated the path, for millions of years. Before human intervention, the current border was part of an extensive species migration corridor. Recently, the wall and mining exploitation in northern Mexico has currently limited the passage of big cats and other animals, evocatively habituated to cross without political interventions. 'El Jefe', a full-grown male jaguar seen for the first time in Arizona in 2011, is one of the few currently documented examples of successful crosses between the two territories, according to what was observed by Dr. Carmina Gutiérrez, from the organization Northern Jaguar Project (NJP), a participant in the Borderlands Linkages Initiative (BLI) program led by the Wildands Network. In 2021, the Mexican Fauna Protection team (PROFAUNA), also a BLI participant, managed to register this male jaguar again on the Sonora side. Following in the footsteps of the jaguar Conservation efforts for the jaguar and other wild cats in northern Mexico are not new. On the contrary, as Carmina Gutiérrez explains in an exclusive interview with National Geographic en Español, the Northern Jaguar Project was founded in 2003 with that intention. For almost two decades, they have dedicated their efforts to the conservation of the jaguars of this region. "The first investigations were aimed at seeing if there were still jaguars in Arizona and Sonora," explains Gutiérrez. To do this, continues the specialist, cameras were placed in ranches to start tracking the species that possibly still existed in the region. The research team decided to install trap cameras, since they are not invasive with the ecosystem. BASED ON THESE PRELIMINARY RECORDS, "IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS STILL A REPRODUCTIVE PO[CENSORED]TION IN THE AREA", POINTS THE SPECIALIST. The sightings of jaguars that have occurred gave rise to the orchestration of a project to protect and safeguard the jaguar po[CENSORED]tion, as well as its habitat in Sonora, so that there would once again be jaguars on the other side of the border. Together with her, the biologist Miguel Gómez, manager of the Jaguar del Norte® Reserve, is also in charge of identifying those jaguars that may be crossing the border between Mexico and the United States. Specialists acknowledge that recent sightings in the United States have been "very few, and all have been male," Gutiérrez details. "Like, for example, 'The Boss.'" It was first sighted in 2011, and for almost a decade, it was lost track of. However, with the support of other researchers working in the same line of study, the Northern Jaguar Project received in June 2022 a series of photographs of jaguars sighted in Sonora. Upon receiving them, Gutiérrez and his team compared them with those they had in the database, "to see if we had any matches." Only then did they realize that, indeed, the jaguar in the images was 'El Jefe': "[THE MOST LIKELY] IS THAT THIS INDIVIDUAL MOVED FROM ARIZONA TO MEXICO AT SOME TIME IN THE LAST 7 YEARS," DETAILS THE DOCTOR OF SCIENCE. "THIS HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED TO HAVE PERMEABILITY IN THE BORDER WALL, SO THE ANIMALS ARE MOVING FROM ONE SIDE TO THE ANOTHER." Before the sighting of 'El Jefe', researchers thought that jaguars in the north did not live more than 12 years. Because of hunting and the increasingly extensive fragmentation of their ecosystem, they are unlikely to survive much longer. In this regard, the executive director of NJP Roberto Wolf, clarifies that the encounter with this specimen was 'circumstantial': "we were not looking for it," he explains in an interview. For years, scientists completely lost track of him. "Even the hypothesis was that he was no longer alive," says Wolf. Therefore, the surprise was even greater for the researchers. For the jaguar po[CENSORED]tion in northern Mexico to be able to sustain itself, explains Gutiérrez, it is essential that there is a habitat in which the specimens can transit. Despite the hostilities around him, 'The Boss' sets a precedent: there is still hope for the species. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/el-jefe-un-jaguar-de-la-frontera-entre-mexico-y-estados-unidos-reaparece-con-vida/

Jeep will launch an electric entry-level SUV early next year – the smallest it has ever produced – and it will be followed by a further three EVs bound for Europe by 2025. Called the Avenger, the baby electric Jeep will look to draw new customers to the US brand – now part of the giant Stellantis group – in Europe, with a particular focus on younger, female buyers. It will be joined on the continent by the range-topping Wagoneer S premium SUV and extreme, off-road-focused Recon (both electric, and will get US launches first), with a final, as yet unannounced electric model to come – which CEO Christian Meunier has described as a look into the future of the brand. The Avenger itself has been built around the “right size” for Europe, head of Jeep’s European arm Antonella Bruno said. “What makes it different is its capabilities,” said Bruno, confirming the car will be “equal or better than” the larger Jeep Renegade 4xe when used off road. The Avenger will launch in the first half of next year (an exact date will be confirmed in October) and use a new version of Stellantis’s ECMP platform – the current version of the architecture is used for EV and combustion versions of the similarly sized Vauxhall Mokka and DS 3 Crossback. This will give it “impressive” ground clearance, Jeep said, with segment-topping breakover and approach angles. A large boot and modern interior will also look to attract a new customer base, Bruno added. Power will come from the group’s 94bhp motors, with either two or four fitted depending on the variant’s configuration. Both two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions will be offered. Range is claimed to be 248 miles. Orders will open on 17 October. The baby SUV will sit at the bottom of the range as part of a five-car line-up. It will also be offered in hybrid form, although further details for this variant will be revealed at the Paris motor show in October. It will be built at the group’s advanced, high-efficiency plant in Tychy, Poland. The model will also be sold in Japan and South Korea, but it will not get a US release. The Avenger will be joined by the Wagoneer S, which will top Jeep’s range and come with a raft of premium features, although none of these has yet been confirmed. It will pack 600bhp, have a 0-60mph time of 3.5sec and offer a range of 400 miles. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/jeep-avenger-electric-baby-suv-bound-uk-next-year

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years. She died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at her Scottish estate, where she had spent much of the summer. The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change. Her son King Charles III said the death of his beloved mother was a "moment of great sadness" for him and his family and that her loss would be "deeply felt" around the world. He said: "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother. "I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world." During the coming period of mourning, he said he and his family would be "comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held". The King and his wife, Camilla, now Queen Consort, will return to London on Friday, Buckingham Palace said. He is expected to address the nation on Friday. Senior royals had gathered at Balmoral after the Queen's doctors became concerned about her health earlier in the day. All the Queen's children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision. Her grandson and now heir to the throne, Prince William, and his brother, Prince Harry, also gathered there. Obituary: A long life marked by a sense of duty Moment her death was announced on the BBC Politicians pay tribute to Queen Elizabeth II King Charles III, the new monarch Prime Minister Liz Truss, who was appointed by the Queen on Tuesday, said the monarch was the rock on which modern Britain was built, who had "provided us with the stability and strength that we needed". Speaking about the new King, she said: "We offer him our loyalty and devotion, just as his mother devoted so much, to so many, for so long. "And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we usher in a new era in the magnificent history of our great country, exactly as Her Majesty would have wished, by saying the words 'God save the King'." The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby - spiritual leader to the Church of England of which the monarch is supreme governor - expressed his "profound sadness". He said his "prayers are with the King and the Royal Family". Queen Elizabeth II's tenure as head of state spanned post-war austerity, the transition from empire to Commonwealth, the end of the Cold War and the UK's entry into - and withdrawal from - the European Union. Her reign spanned 15 prime ministers starting with Winston Churchill, born in 1874, and including Ms Truss, born 101 years later in 1975. She held weekly audiences with her prime minister throughout her reign. At Buckingham Palace in London, crowds awaiting updates on the Queen's condition began crying as they heard of her death. The union flag on top of the palace was lowered to half-mast at 18:30 BST and an official notice announcing the death was posted outside. On the Queen's death, Prince William and his wife, Catherine, became the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Cornwall. The Queen was born Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor, in Mayfair, London, on 21 April 1926. Few could have foreseen she would become monarch but in December 1936 her uncle, Edward VIII, abdicated from the throne to marry the twice-divorced American, Wallis Simpson. Elizabeth's father became King George VI and, at age 10, Lilibet, as she was known in the family, became heir to the throne. Within three years, Britain was at war with Nazi Germany. Elizabeth and her younger sister, Princess Margaret, spent much of wartime at Windsor Castle after their parents rejected suggestions they be evacuated to Canada. After turning 18, Elizabeth spent five months with the Auxiliary Territorial Service and learned basic motor mechanic and driving skills. "I began to understand the esprit de corps that flourishes in the face of adversity," she recalled later. Through the war, she exchanged letters with her third cousin, Philip, Prince of Greece, who was serving in the Royal Navy. Their romance blossomed and the couple married at Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947, with the prince taking the title of Duke of Edinburgh. She would later describe him as "my strength and stay" through 74 years of marriage, before his death in 2021, aged 99. Their first son, Charles, was born in 1948, followed by Princess Anne, in 1950, Prince Andrew, in 1960, and Prince Edward, in 1964. Between them, they gave their parents eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. Princess Elizabeth was in Kenya in 1952, representing the ailing King, when Philip broke the news that her father had died. She immediately returned to London as the new Queen. "It was all a very sudden kind of taking on and making the best job you can," she later recalled. Elizabeth was crowned at Westminster Abbey on 2 June 1953, aged 27, in front of a then-record TV audience estimated at more than 20 million people. Subsequent decades would see great change, with the end of the British Empire overseas and the Swinging '60s sweeping away social norms at home. Thousands gathered outside Buckingham Palace after the death was announced Elizabeth reformed the monarchy for this less deferential age, engaging with the public through walkabouts, royal visits and attendance at public events. Her commitment to the Commonwealth was a constant - she visited every Commonwealth country at least once. But there were periods of private and public pain. In 1992, the Queen's "annus horribilis", fire devastated Windsor Castle - a private residence as well as working palace - and three of her children's marriages broke down. After the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a car accident in Paris in 1997, the Queen drew criticism for appearing reluctant to respond publicly. There were questions about the monarchy's relevance in modern society. "No institution… should expect to be free from the scrutiny of those who give it their loyalty and support, not to mention those who don't," she acknowledged. As a 21-year-old princess, Elizabeth had vowed to devote her life to service. Reflecting on those words decades later, during her Silver Jubilee in 1977, she declared: "Although that vow was made in my salad days, when I was green in judgment, I do not regret nor retract one word of it." That same commitment to serving was made 45 years later in a thank you letter to the nation on the weekend of her Platinum Jubilee in June. The milestone was celebrated with a mix of state ceremonies and a colourful festival of all things British, as well as lively street parties. Although the Queen's health kept her from some events, she said: "My heart has been with you all." In a moment met with cheers from huge crowds in the Mall, she was joined by three generations of her family on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the finale of a pageant. King Charles, aged 73, becomes head of state in 14 Commonwealth realms. He and his wife, Camilla, are at Balmoral alongside his siblings, Princess Anne, and Princes Andrew and Edward. They are accompanied by Edward's wife, Sophie, as well as Princes William and Harry. William's wife, Catherine, remained at Windsor with their children - George, Charlotte and Louis - as it has been their first full day at a new school. Prince William drove a group of senior royals - including Prince Andrew and Prince Edward - to Balmoral The Royal Family has now entered a period of mourning. In the coming days, much of national life will be put on hold. Official engagements will be cancelled and union flags will be flown at half-mast on royal residences, government buildings, across the Armed Forces and on UK posts overseas. Members of Parliament will pay tribute to the Queen and take an oath to King Charles. There will be church bells tolling and gun salutes as local and national organisations and charities organise ways to pay their respects, with commemorative events and books of condolence. A state funeral for the Queen is expected in the next two weeks. Foreign leaders have paid tribute to the Queen, with US President Joe Biden recalling how she stood in solidarity with the US in their "darkest days" after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. To France's president, Emmanuel Macron, she was a "kind-hearted Queen" and "friend of France". For Justin Trudeau, Canada's prime minister, the Queen was a constant in Canadians' lives and one of his "favourite people in the world".
