These pictures show the brand new incarnation of the President's official vehicle undergoing final testing before it is delivered to the White House. The sedan is longer than two large SUVs and, for the moment, remains in white and black camouflage designed to make it more difficult to identify new features aboard the vehicle. The final version will be painted black and silver just like the current version, once it is given the final approval. The £1.2 million car is part of a fleet of 12 which cost around £15 million and is arguably the safest vehicle in the world, as befits the President of the United States. The Beast weighs eight tonnes and has eight-i

Pregnant women who sleep on their backs stand risk of stillbirth

Pregnant women who sleep on their backs stand risk of stillbirth Pregnant women who are in their last trimester are advised to sleep on their side and not their backs to reduce the risk of stillbirths. This advice is from a study published in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (BJOG), which said women who sleep on their backs have at least twice the risk of a stillbirth more than those who sleep on their left side. The findings are based on a Midlands and North of England Stillbirth Study (MiNESS). The research suggests pregnant women who sleep in various positions should try laying on their sides when ready to sleep because most time is spent in the position one goes to sleep in. Researchers interviewed 291 women who had stillbirths and 733 women who were delivered of healthy kids in 41 UK maternity units. Mothers of twins or those who had babies with major abnormalities were not included. They found that mothers who slept on their backs had a 2.3

Mugabe amassed $1bn – including a rare Rolls-Royce worth more than Zimbabwe’s economy Rolls Royce Phantom IV. Inset-Mugabe. Ex-President Robert Mugabe is reportedly worth more than $1bn despite his country being one of the poorest in the world. Mugabe’s wealth has come under the microscope following a military coup earlier in the week. The 93-year-old dictator has accumulated significant wealth during his rule under which thousands of people have been killed over the past 37 years. Local media reports suggest a small part of his fortune was reaped from Zimbabwe’s diamond deposits. Mugabe owns the Zimbabwe Consolidated Diamond Co. He has repeatedly been accused of stealing from the country’s coffers, while he also reportedly acquired 15 acres of land during land seizures in 2000. According to a 2001 US diplomatic cable, later released by the whistle-blowing organisation  WikiLeaks , Mugabe has about $1.75bn worth of assets, mostly invested outside

Panamá abre embajada en China luego de cortar vínculos con Taiwán Panamá inauguró su primera embajada en China el jueves, cinco meses después de cortar las relaciones con Taiwán, que ha visto disminuir a sus aliados frente a la creciente influencia del continente. En un discurso que anuncia el establecimiento "histórico" de la embajada, el presidente panameño Juan Carlos Varela dijo que su "compromiso con el principio de One China" fue hecho con los beneficios para los panameños en mente, aludiendo a la posición de Beijing de que Taiwán es parte del territorio chino y será llevado nuevamente al redil en algún momento. China continental y Taiwán se separaron después de una guerra civil en 1949 y mientras que Taiwan se ve a sí misma como una nación soberana, nunca ha declarado formalmente su independencia. Ahora solo quedan 20 naciones en todo el mundo con vínculos oficiales con Taiwán, ya que otros han optado por establecer relaciones diplomáticas co
