Pretty European resort with 10 miles of beach and world-class restaurants
This small Italian resort is sits along the Adriatic coast and has garnered a global reputation for its impressive seafood restaurants, expansive shore and Roman architecture Italy has no shortage of sunbed cities but one of its biggest isn't where you might expect. While the Amalfi Coast and Sardinia might be the first destinations that come to mind when thinking of an Italian beach holiday, this northern destination is home to miles and miles of beach. Rimini sits on the Adriatic coast and has become a prime Italian beach destination. The city is situated in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, which is most strongly associated with the food-centric cities of Bologna and Parma and medieval architecture. But the small resort city of Rimini has added to the reputation of the region with its nearly 10 miles of beach. Today, the city is one of Italy's leading coastal destinations, thanks in part to its vibrant nightlife and reputation for exceptional cuisine. Rimini's beaches are ideal for travellers seeking a lively atmosphere and don't mind crowds. The majority of the city's shore is also divided into private beaches which means you'll need to pay for sunbed rental - not uncommon on Italian resorts. But don't let the crowds and the rental fees deter you, there is a reason the Emilia-Romagna coast has been Italy's preferred seaside retreat for decades. There is also much more to the city than its miles of sand and surf. The Italian seaside city has a rich Roman and Renaissance history for travellers to explore. While your first stop may be the beach, if you head into town you will discover a petit Renaissance city with ancient Roman remains. Rimini's Augustus Arch dates back to 27BC and is the gateway into the ancient city of Ariminum set into the former city wall. Visitors will also come across the Ponte di Tiberio - a stunning white Roman bridge completed by Tiberius in 21AD. Strolling through the cobbled streets, travellers will also find the city's main shopping street: Corso d'Augusto. The area is lined with perfumeries, jewellery stores and just a few minutes away at Piazza Malatesta is a weekly market. No mention of Rimini would be complete without detailing its impressive culinary offering. While the region is known for the cheese of Parma and mortadella and ragu of Bologna, Rimini holds its own as a food capital. The Ponte di Tiberio connects the city centre to Borgo San Giuliano, an ancient fishing village and birthplace of the iconic director Federico Fellini. While the area was once one of the poorest in Rimini, it has become a hub for aperitivo, home to bars showcasing local wines. Rimini's fishing heritage means that travellers can enjoy the best catches of the day and an array of impressive seafood dishes made with seasonal ingredients. Perhaps the most famous seafood restaurant in the area is Da Lucio, which has also been recognised by the Michelin Guide. Da Lucio was founded in 2019 with the goal of serving the best fish from the local sea - a goal it has unequivocally achieved. The menu is ever evolving but consistently showcases seasonal ingredients and fish that is aged to ensure the flavours are concentrated. In 2024, Da Lucio relocated to a unique position by the sea and received Food & Wine's 2024 Best Interior award for its new location. There are also plenty of restaurants highlighting regional pasta specialities and desserts. Those interested in visiting will be happy to hear that easyJet has announced a new direct service from the UK to Rimini. The new route from London to Rimini is set to launch in October with fares starting at £ budget airline will also be offering twice weekly flights to the coastal city from London Gatwick.

US unveils world's first supersonic artillery shell that can hit targets 100 miles away at a blistering 2,700mph speeds
The missile is equipped with AI technology SHELL SHOCK US unveils world's first supersonic artillery shell that can hit targets 100 miles away at a blistering 2,700mph speeds Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE US has revealed the world's first supersonic artillery shell, capable of striking targets 100 miles away at speeds of a blistering 2,700mph. Tiberius Aerospace, a UK-US defence firm, unveiled the Sceptre TrBM 155HG supersonic missile at the Future Artillery Conference in London. 6 THE US has unveiled the world's first supersonic artillery shell Credit: Tiberius 6 The supersonic shell's fueling design boosts shelf life to over 20 years Credit: Tiberius 6 The missile is equipped with AI technology, GPS, and a sensor system Credit: Tiberius The technological milestone can reach speeds of Mach 3.5 and soars to an altitude of 65,000 feet. This makes it impervious to countermeasures and GPS jamming systems. It uses a ramjet engine, enabling supersonic speeds and a range of up to 150km. The missile is equipped with AI technology, GPS, and a sensor system that corrects errors in real-time. An important feature is that the Sceptre TrBM 155HG can be powered by diesel, JP-4, or JP-8 fuel. Unlike typical solid-fuel missiles, the supersonic shell's fueling design boosts shelf life to over 20 years and cuts storage risks. The Sceptre's propulsion system also reduces reliance on niche energetics, letting the defence firm source fuel from established logistics networks and strengthening the supply chain. Chad Steelberg, CEO and founder of Tiberius Aerospace, described the state-of-the-art missile as a "10X solution" in range precision, cost-effectiveness, survivability and operational adaptability. He added: "This is a weapon designed for the future battlefield: fast, precise, and resilient in a denied environment." It comes after Britain hit a major milestone in the race for hypersonic supremacy – with a powerful new missile engine tested 233 times and hailed as a game changer for UK defence. Putin develops yet another secret new hypersonic missile - this time mini-sized - in bid to outdo West, as 6,100 mph Zircon to be tested next month The new air-breathing propulsion system, designed to fire cruise missiles at speeds of over five times the speed of sound, is part of a £1billion push to build a British hypersonic weapon by 2030. The breakthrough comes as military experts warn a British version of Israel's famed Iron Dome missile shield would be "too prohibitively expensive" to protect the entire UK – leaving cities exposed to attacks from Putin's rockets. Defence Secretary John Healey said: 'We are living in a more dangerous world and it has never been more important for us to innovate and stay ahead of our adversaries, equipping our forces with the technologies of the future. 'This milestone moment on hypersonics research, supported by British scientists and British small businesses, demonstrates another crucial area where we are working in lockstep with the United States to bolster our Armed Forces and strengthen our deterrence.' The engine, developed through a joint effort between the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), the US Air Force Research Laboratory, and UK industry players like Gas Dynamics Ltd, was successfully trialled at NASA's Langley Research Centre in Virginia. Over six weeks, scientists carried out 233 static tests across a range of supersonic and hypersonic speeds, analysing real-time data to tweak designs and boost performance. Paul Hollinshead, Chief Executive of Dstl, said: 'This milestone represents a critical advancement in the UK's defence capabilities and reinforces our standing in the AUKUS hypersonic weapon development collaboration. "The success of these tests highlights the UK's commitment to technological leadership and innovation in this crucial area.' What is the Iron Dome – and is it really effective? ISRAEL'S Iron Dome is a high-tech, all-weather mobile air defence system designed to intercept and destroy short-range threats like rockets, missiles, mortars and drones. The system is made up of at least 10 batteries placed strategically around the country. Each battery includes a radar detection system, a control centre to assess threats, and truck-towed launchers that fire radar-guided Tamir interceptor missiles. How does it work? The radar detects incoming projectiles and sends data to a central command that decides if the threat will hit a populated or strategic area. If it will, the system fires interceptors to destroy it mid-air – ignoring rockets headed for open spaces. Range & reach: The Iron Dome can take out targets launched from up to 43 miles away. Each launcher holds up to 20 interceptors, and the batteries together can protect nearly 60 square miles of land. Israel has worked on increasing the range to up to 155 miles and enabling the system to handle multiple threats from different directions. How effective is it? Very. Iron Dome has a reported success rate of around 90 per cent, according to its developer Rafael Advanced Defence Systems. It has intercepted thousands of rockets since its first combat use in 2011. During the 2021 conflict with Gaza, it stopped roughly 90 per cent of over 4,000 rockets fired into populated areas. In the October 2024 Iranian missile barrage, the system again proved its mettle, downing most of the 180 missiles fired. Limits under pressure: The system isn't invincible. On October 7, 2023, when Hamas fired thousands of rockets at once, it overwhelmed the system. Experts say there's a limit to how many incoming projectiles the Iron Dome can handle at once – and anything above that threshold can get through. Part of a trio: The Iron Dome is just one part of Israel's multi-layered defence network, alongside David's Sling (for medium-range missiles) and Arrow 2/3 (for long-range ballistic missiles), creating overlapping protection against a variety of aerial threats. Bottom line: Iron Dome is a battlefield game changer – incredibly effective against limited rocket fire, but not a silver bullet against massed missile barrages. 6 The Sceptre TrBM 155HG can be powered by diesel, JP-4, or JP-8 fuel Credit: Tiberius 6 It uses a ramjet engine, enabling supersonic speeds Credit: Tiberius
