The New Shepard rocket, which lifted off from Blue Origin’s facility in west Texas on Monday morning, was carrying no passengers. It carried dozens of experimental objects that were to be tested for a short period in the weightless environment at the edge of space. A live broadcast of the event showed a sudden burst of flame engulfing the rocket at 29,000 feet, just over a minute after launch. Almost immediately, the capsule atop the booster rocket — which contained the payload and would be the area where people would sit during a manned mission — detached from the rocket and parachuted to the ground in what appeared to be a relatively soft landing....

The new king is traveling from Balmoral, the royal estate in Scotland, to London and is expected to have an audience with Liz Truss, who became prime minister just three days ago.

Although politics has been paralyzed since the Queen’s death, Liz Truss is under pressure from Tory MPs to present her plans possibly on Thursday or Friday next week, before the Commons breaks up for party conferences. National mourning has completely overshadowed the announcement of the £150bn energy cap and left Whitehall scrambling to finalize the details of any budget at the same time as organizing the state funeral. The new prime minister plans to travel to the UN general assembly in New York in the days after the Queen’s funeral, returning in time to sit next to her chancellor, Kwasi Kwarteng, in the Commons as he delivers his budget speech....

Calls to remove Canada’s first prime minister’s name from the park are renewed this month, as people plan to march along the road in protest but also in memory of children who died while forced to attend the residential school system of Canada. “There has been no progress. Zero,” said Albert Dumont, an Algonquin Anishinābe spiritual adviser from Kitigan Zibi Anishinābeg near Maniwaki, Que., who called on the federal government to rename the parkway in June 2021 because of Macdonald’s role in concentration and expansion of the home school system....

Entre la monarchie britannique, une monarchie constitutionnelle, et la monarchie saoudienne, une monarchie absolue, il y a un monde. D’autres pays comme la Thaïlande ou le Maroc ont des monarchies très fortes, mais pas absolues. De plus, le Vatican peut être considéré comme une monarchie élective. D’un point de vue démocratique, toutes les monarchies, quel que soit leur type, sont condamnables à des degrés divers. Quels sont les problèmes d’une monarchie constitutionnelle ?...

À 96 ans, Elizabeth II était le plus vieux monarque vivant. Les 70 ans, 7 mois et 2 jours qu’il a passés sur le trône britannique font de son règne l’un des plus longs de l’histoire. En mai dernier, elle a battu le record de longévité détenu par le prince Johann II de Liechtenstein puis le roi de Thaïlande Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), décédé en 2016. Il lui faudrait cependant un peu moins de deux ans pour devenir le monarque ayant la plus longue durée de vie....

South Carolina House Bill 5399, which passed the state House last month, had enough support from Senate Republicans to ban nearly all abortions in the state, but a filibuster Thursday by state Sen. Republican Tom Davis blocked it. Republicans lacked the votes to overcome a filibuster and move to a vote on the bill, which requires a higher vote threshold. “I’m not going to let this (bill) come to a vote unless this chamber votes and seats me,” Davis said on the Senate floor Thursday night....

The blue and white colors of the Scottish flag flew at half mast over the village’s main street on Friday. “She was a wonderful person for this area.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) determined that Hurricane Earl had weakened to Tropical Cyclone Earl at 5 p.m. AST on Saturday. The system still had maximum sustained winds of 140 km/h, and forecasters expect those winds to slowly diminish over the next few days. The transition from a tropical cyclone to an extratropical cyclone is mostly a bureaucratic distinction in terms of impact. Although the system no longer has the composition of a hurricane, it is still a major storm with heavy rain and strong winds producing high waves along coastal areas throughout the Maritimes....

Die militärischen Erfolge der Ukraine gegen das russische Militär haben den Ruf nach deutschen Panzerlieferungen innerhalb der Leuchtturmallianz immer lauter werden lassen. Politiker von FDP und Grünen haben am Dienstag auf eine solche Unterstützung der Ukraine gedrängt. Sie gingen gegen die Linie von Bundeskanzler Olaf Solz (SPD). Der ukrainische Außenminister Dmytro Kuleba zeigte sich enttäuscht darüber, dass Berlin sich weiterhin weigere, Panzer und Schützenpanzer zu übergeben. Für diese Haltung gebe es kein “rationales Argument”, sondern nur “abstrakte Befürchtungen und Ausreden”, schrieb Kuleba auf Twitter....
