City dwellers encouraged to report monarch butterfly sightings
conservation environment 1:25 pm today
Watching a monarch caterpillar strip a swan plant can be one of those lasting memories from childhood. But now people are being urged to report sightings of live monarch butterflies as experts sound the alarm over their declining numbers - especially in cities. Over winter they survive by gathering in clusters on tall trees or in urban green spaces but there's been a noticeable drop off in those habitats. Jacqui Knight from the Moths and Butterflies Trust spoke to Jesse.

Proto: an ancient language, mother to many tongues
Photo: HarperCollins Thousands of miles apart, people who speak English, Icelandic or Iranic use more or less the same words: star, stjarna, stare. All three of these languages - and hundreds more - share a single ancient ancestor, spread by ancient peoples far and wide. Today, nearly half of humanity speaks an Indo-European language. But, Proto Indo European is a language that has been dead for thousands of years and was never written down. British science journalist Laura Spinney's epic tale Proto - How One Ancient Language Went Global retraces its steps. Spinney has written for the New Scientist, The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph. She speaks with Susie.

Hamish Cooper named as new ambassador to London to replace Phil Goff

Hamish Cooper, whose diplomatic career at the Ministry of foreign affairs and trade spans 40 years, will take up the role in September. The vacancy came up in the highly sought after London post after Foreign Minister Winston Peters sacked former Labour MP and minister Phil Goff from the position in March. Peters said it "untenable" for Goff to remain in the job after his candid criticism of US President Donald Trump at an event in London. Video from the event shows Goff [ speaking at a Chatham House event] with Finland's foreign minister, and during a Q&A the two were discussing how Finland kept the peace in its border with Russia. "I was re-reading Churchill's speech to the House of Commons in 1938 after the Munich Agreement, and he turned to Chamberlain, he said, 'You had the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, yet you will have war'," Goff said. "President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?" Peters told reporters at Parliament at the time that the decision to sack Goff was one of the most difficult things he has had to do. Goff, a former Leader of the Labour Party and former Mayor of Auckland, had been in the role since January 2023. In a statement on Friday Peters said Cooper was one of New Zealand's most "senior and experienced diplomats and is eminently well-qualified to take on this significant role".

UK man charged with 7 offences after Liverpool crash

Photo: AFP / Darren Staples UK police have charged a 53-year-old man with seven offences for allegedly ramming a car into crowds celebrating Liverpool's Premier League title earlier this week. Paul Doyle faces counts including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent during Monday's incident in the northwestern English city, authorities said. Doyle has been remanded in custody and will appear before Liverpool Magistrates' Court on Friday (UK time), Merseyside Police assistant chief constable Jenny Sims told a press conference. A total of 79 people aged between nine and 78 were injured when a Ford Galaxy ploughed into Liverpool supporters as they celebrated their club's record-equalling 20th English top-flight title. There were no fatalities. Seven people remained in hospital on Thursday, Sims told reporters. Sarah Hammond of the Crown Prosecution Service said the agency had authorised police to charge Doyle following a "complex and ongoing investigation". "Prosecutors and police are continuing to work at pace to review a huge volume of evidence," she said. "This includes multiple pieces of video footage and numerous witness statements. It is important to ensure every victim gets the justice they deserve." Doyle, from a Liverpool suburb, was arrested on Monday on suspicion of attempted murder, driving under the influence of drugs, and dangerous driving. Attempted murder and driving under the influence of drugs were not listed as charges. Hammond said all charges "will be kept under review as the investigation progresses". UK media reported that Doyle was a businessman and former marine, with three teenage children. Hundreds of thousands of Reds fans had gathered in Liverpool city centre when scenes of joy turned to horror. Images on social media showed the car ploughing through a crowd, running over people and others bouncing off its bonnet. Four people, including one child, were trapped under the vehicle, which had to be lifted to remove them, fire services said. In other clips circulating online, the vehicle was seen being halted and swarmed by angry fans, who smashed the back windows as police sought to hold them back. Police quickly ruled out terrorism, as well as releasing that the suspect was a white British man, revealing his ethnicity in a rare move to quell misinformation online. - AFP
