But Charles and Camilla's love prevailed, and now he is making her queen. After Queen Elizabeth III died in 2022, Camilla initially took on the title of queen consort, as the queen wished.

The Historic Connection Between Sierra Leone and William Wilberforce The 2023 Wilberforce Award recipient is Shodankeh Johnson, a pastor and church planter in Sierra Leone. The award was named after William Wilberforce, whose work as an English politician led to the abolishment of slavery in 1833 in the British Empire. There is an incredible link between Wilberforce and the role Shodankeh’s Sierra Leone played in freeing slaves. The first Europeans to reach Sierra Leone were Portuguese mariners who arrived in 1462 and gave the region its name after a mountain that looked like a sleeping lion. Prior to the arrival of the Portuguese, the territory of Sierra Leone, with its rainforests that sheltered it from other regions in West Africa, had been a haven for people fleeing violence and jihads.

Wild koalas get chlamydia vaccine in first-of-its kind trial to protect the beloved marsupials A koala eats gum leaves at a koala park in Sydney, Australia, May 5, 2023. MARK BAKER/AP Australian scientists have begun vaccinating wild koalas against chlamydia in an ambitious field trial in New South Wales. The aim is to test a method for protecting the beloved marsupials against a widespread disease that causes blindness, infertility and death. "It's killing koalas because they become so sick they can't climb trees to get food or escape predators, and females can become infertile," said Samuel Phillips, a microbiologist at the University of the Sunshine Coast who helped to develop the vaccine.

A kangaroo boom could be looming in Australia. Some say the solution is to shoot them before they starve to death. Australia loves its iconic kangaroos so much that it's willing to kill them. In fact, some ecologists are now warning that doing so may need to soon be a priority. The island country has millions of the animals hopping about. While it is widely-adored symbol in Australia, having too many kangaroos has been known to cause problems. In Victoria, for example, the state government says that the animals can damage farmland, property and habitats, while also posing a risk to human safety. An excessive population also poses a risk to the animals themselves, officials have previously warned, as a surplus of animals means that there is not enough food and many...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Plastic-eating microbes from one of the coldest regions on Earth could be the key to the planet's waste problem The planet gets covered in an estimated 400 million tonnes of plastic waste every year that won't break down over time. But this week, scientists said they may have found a way to help, thanks to tiny organisms in one of the coldest regions of Earth. Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL recently discovered microbes in the Arctic and from the Alps that could be the key to eliminating some forms of plastic waste. The microbes, they found, will eat up certain types of plastic left in their environment, a discovery that could help pave the way to reduce much of the plastic waste found around the planet.

Italy's Industry Minister Adolfo Urso has convened a crisis commission to discuss the country's soaring pasta costs. The cost of the staple food rose 17.5% during the past year through March, Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported. That's more than twice the rate of inflation in Italy, which stood at 8.1% in March, European Central Bank data shows.

According to the report, published by Drax Electric Insights and conducted by researchers at Imperial College London, 32.4% of Britain's electricity came from wind power during that time. Turbines generated 24 terrawatt-hours (Twh) of electricity, an amount that could charge more than 300 million Tesla Model Ys, researchers said, and an amount that was 3% higher than the output generated at the same time last year.

Deadly fire in Guyana girls' dorm set by student upset over phone being confiscated, officials believe Investigators in Guyana believe a fire that killed 19 mostly girls trapped in a school dormitory late on Sunday was deliberately set by a student who was upset that her mobile phone was confiscated, a top official said Tuesday.

Killer whales are ramming into boats and damaging them. The reason remains a mystery.

The behavior is unusual, and began in 2020, says Andrew W. Trites, professor and director of Marine Mammal Research at the University of British Columbia. In the past two years, these incidents have more than tripled according to data released by GTOA, a group that researches orcas in the region. "Nobody knows why this is happening," Trites told CBS News. "My idea, or what anyone would give you, is informed speculation. It is a total mystery, unprecedented."
