Harry retraces Diana's footsteps through mine field
The Duke of Sussex is in the southern African country with the Halo Trust organisation, the same group Princess Diana worked with when she went to Angola in January 1997, seven months before she was killed in a car crash in Paris.
Diana's advocacy and the images of her walking through a minefield helped mobilise support for a land mine ban treaty that was ratified later that year.
Harry walked through a land mine field near a village in Cuito Cuanavale in southern Angola on Wednesday, according to Halo Trust. It's not the first time he has retraced his mother's steps after travelling to Angola for a similar awareness campaign in 2019.
The land mines across Angola were left behind from its 27-year civil war from 1975 to 2002.
The Halo Trust says at least 60,000 people have been killed or injured by land mines since 2008.
It says it has located and destroyed over 120,000 land mines and 100,000 other explosive devices in Angola since it started work in the country in 1994, but 1000 minefields still need to be cleared.

Death of famed Hunter vineyard manager
THE Hunter Valley's Dr Harold William Tulloch, one of Australia's most distinguished viticulturists, has died at the age of 91. Known universally as Harry, he was a grandson of John Younie Tulloch, the founder of the Hunter Tulloch wine dynasty. His 70-year wine career began with a 1955 graduation from Roseworthy Wine College, and until recently, he managed the vines on his son Keith's Pokolbin vineyard. At Roseworthy he became great friends with fellow student John Vickery, later Australian master of riesling winemaking, and the pair rode their AJS 350 cc bikes across the Nullarbor to get experience in a vintage in Western Australia. After Roseworthy graduation Harry was appointed to head South Australia's Nurioota Research Station from 1956 to 1960. He then spent two years in the US gaining a viticulture honours degree at California University's famed Davis Wine School. Back in Australia, he worked in viticulture research in South Australia and in 1969 returned to the Hunter to plant major vineyards, and in 1970 he joined with his late wife Anne in establishing their own fine Mount View Wines brand. His achievements in 1992 brought him a University of Newcastle honorary doctor of science, and in 2023, he was created a Hunter Valley Legend of Wine. He is survived by sons and daughters-in-law Keith and Amanda, and Bruce and Dorothy, and grandchildren Cadell, Lydia, Joel, Jessica, Abigail and Alistair. His funeral will be held from 2.30 on Friday, July 25, at the Keith Tulloch winery, 989 Hermitage Road, Pokolbin THE Hunter Valley's Dr Harold William Tulloch, one of Australia's most distinguished viticulturists, has died at the age of 91.

Is this tiny restaurant in Perth's inner-north home to the city's best-value vegan meal deal?
Rather than dessert, Eritrean and Ethiopian meals conclude with thick coffee that's been pan-roasted in-house and, if you like, sharpened with ground ginger. An elegant woven mesob basket filled with warm popcorn is a thoughtful touch; the wispy smoke emitted by a burning square of bakhoor incense is a show of hospitality borrowed from the traditional coffee ceremony. Based on a handful of outings to Adulis, the promise of a hot drink that tastes like home is reason enough for some within Perth's (East) African diaspora to set course for Yokine. Make no mistake, this is a restaurant run by its community, for its community. The room features artefacts adorned with Amharic script and posters of Eritrean sports stars Biniam Girmay and Alexander Isak. The combination of an Ethio-jazz soundtrack and spirited African language conversations gives the space a casual, loungeroom-style energy. Use the call bell at the counter to get the attention of a (otherwise obliging) staff member if you have to. You might be new to these parts, but you're eager to learn about the deep, rich history of Eritrean and Ethiopian food.
