The camerais closer and the image resolution higher. Bodycams record audio, unlike most cctv. Companies could use them to monitorstaff.

The royals were forced to cancel their first trip to Belize, after local protests. A day later, Jamaican politicians, business leaders, doctors and musicians signed an open letter calling for the British monarchy to apologise for colonial- ism and pay slavery reparations. As the country celebrates 60 years of inde- pendence, this visit is seen by many as a charm offensive to persuade other Caribbean nations not to follow Barbados in removing the Queen as head of state this year. ‘onbehatfofinthenamect/Piatum bie event mak the Th yer often of Quen leabeth (202) royale! tery fam foeaneal sar ca protestomonsraton/tocalifortoc=rars*o ‘apologise sy sary saver prctce of owing slaves /charmoffensve?eragesreto saci tn toremave totake acy ompowe mate thestatrot/Readofstatelee,reenrmanarh MMIU.S. declares Syancees mass killing ‘genocide’ TheUShasdecared Myanmars masking ofthe Rhingya Musi population genocde™ The Secretary of tae, Antony Birken pointed tomaltpleparals ‘between the Myanmar military's campaign towpe out theRohingyaand the Holocaust the slaughter of Rwandan Tuts! andother genocides The designation wil not bring substantial new economic measures against Myanmar’ military-ted government.

This historical murder mystery is set against a background of racism and sexismin late 1950's ‘American society. We asked about her writing, passions and influences in this compelling interview. G erman-born British writer, Inga Vesper, published her first work, The ‘Long, Long Afternoon, in 2021. This social and historical crime nove already translated into seven languages, including French) tackles the Ubiquitous racism and sexism inthe society of late 1950's California.

Vocable: Did having an historical framework help youralse these issues? vz Yes, having an historical novel makes it alittle biteasier to raise these themes because people can keep a certain distance. They can engage with these issues without feeling like itis immediately a personal thing that they need to address now. 12. I think historical novels are also very important because they help us to see how far we have come but also why we are here and maybe how far we have left to go. So ‘much of what happened in the 2oth century still impacts us today. Its kind of scary to read about that time and see what hasn't change. While I was writing the novel, the ‘#MeToo movement happened and I thought: “There we go again’. 13, Vocables Why Set the story in the 1950s in America?

The sooner a farmer can discern whether an animal is pleased or distressed, the faster any issues in the animals environ- ment that may affect its health can be ad: dressed. WHAT ARE THEY FEELING ? 4, Pigs are among the more voluble of do- ‘mestic animals, producing a wider range of sounds more frequently than relatively taciturn goats, sheep and cows. To crack the code of pig communication, scientists in research labs across Europe used hand: held microphones to gather roughly 7,400 distinct calls from 4u1 individual pigs. The calls were recorded during all types of situ ations in the life span of a pig, from birth to the slaughterhouse. '5. Researchers then assigned each sound a positive or negative emotional value based ‘on what the paper cals “intuitive inference.” In other words, researchers made an edu cated guess about how the pig likely felt about the event at which the sound was re- corded (ie. feeding, good; castration, bad) 66.

Understanding animals’ emotions has practical and legal consequences. Animal sentience laws like the one currently before Britain’s parliament assert that animals are capable of thought and feeling, and that the government must take their welfare into account when making policies that might affect them.

During the winter of 1356-57, northern Europe was battered by a fierce storm, known as the Grote Mandrenke, which plunged the town into the depths of the North Sea £8."Understanding the past helps us prepare better in the future,” Mr Parsons told The Guardian, “Ravenser Odd is an incredibly evocative story of the impacts of coastal change on entire settlements.
