Jakapil kaniukura was about 5ft long and probably walked upright in then-steamy Patagonian landscape about 100m years ago
Palaeontologists have announced the discovery of a previously unknown small armoured dinosaur in southern Argentina, a creature that probably walked upright on its back legs roaming a then-steamy landscape about 100m years ago.
The Cretaceous period dinosaur, named Jakapil kaniukura, would have been well-protected with rows of bony disc-shaped armour along its neck and back and down to its tail, they said. It measured about 5ft (1.5 meters) long and weighed only 9-15lb (4-7kg), similar to an average house cat.

Survey reveals common practice is seen as ?€?strange?€? by parents handed child?€?s soiled nappies to take home
Waiting lists for Japanese nurseries are finally falling, but many parents have found that securing one of the coveted places comes at a price - taking home their child?€?s soiled nappies.
A survey has shone a light on the common but rarely discussed practice, with about 40% of towns and cities in Japan saying they demand the guardians of their infant clientele take their used nappies with them.
Industry minister EdHusic will this week host a series of five roundtable meetings with science and technology leaders in the lead-up to the federal government?€?s jobs summit, in a bid to kickstart what he called ?€?brain regain?€? - attracting Australia?€?s bright minds working overseas to return home, to combat the so-called ?€?brain drain?€?.
These discussions will also include ways to increase the representation of women and people of diverse backgrounds in skilled occupations. One of my priorities is on ?€?brain regain?€? - encouraging Australian researchers and innovators to return home. I am interested to hear ideas on how this can be best achieved.
I can?€?t emphasise strongly enough that this is the start of engagement with these industry sectors. After the jobs and skills summit I will continue the work with industry leaders to ensure we apply practical solutions to accelerate Australia?€?s pathway to high-skilled, high-value economy.
He?€?s applied for a job and that?€?s coming with a significant degree of scrutiny, as it should do. That?€?s part of the territory if you?€?re going to put yourself forward for those roles.
If he felt the need to protect the environment from offshore drilling for gas off Sydney?€?s northern beaches and he felt he needed to swear himself in as minister, that?€?s something I support.
Japan PM Fumio Kishida sends offering but stays away from Yasukuni, which honours dead including class-A war criminals
Japan?€?s prime minister, Fumio Kishida, sent a ritual offering to a controversial war shrine on Monday - the anniversary of Japan?€?s defeat in the second world war - as one of its wartime victims, South Korea, called for an end to historical tensions.
Kishida apparently decided to stay away from the Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo to avoid antagonising South Korea and China, but three of his ministers have made the pilgrimage in recent days.
Pacific country had recorded no community transmission of the virus until last week, and healthcare is struggling to cope
After dodging the Covid-19 pandemic for two years, the Marshall Islands is grappling to control the spread of infections, which have tripled since the first community transmissions were detected a week ago.

Anthony Albanese has said he is receiving a briefing this morning and will ?€?have more to say?€? on the former government?€?s arrangements later today
The former prime minister Scott Morrison is appearing on 2GB after revelations he appointed himself to several ministries in secret while in government.
Morrison says his appointments to three cabinet roles were ?€?safeguards?€? during ?€?unprecedented?€? times.
All ministers know their direct powers are matter between the prime minister and them not the cabinet.
These were not issues that were subject to cabinet.
It is the secrecy that is astonishing and we must get an explanation from the former prime minister about his actions.
One could understand how the prime minister may have wished to ensure that there was a safety net, particularly around the role of the health minister. We had no vaccines for Covid at the time.
But the fact that he chose not to tell anyone about this, the fact that his cabinet - many members of his cabinet - didn?€?t know about this - the prime minister has a responsibility to inform the parliament, the public and to inform his cabinet. It is a most extraordinary and alarming set of circumstances, I believe.
Doctors are ?€?gatekeeping?€? conversations surrounding affordable access to healthcare, leaving nurses and their highly specialised skills undervalued and underutilised, peak nursing bodies say.
PM alleged to have ?€?predetermined?€? application after permit renewal was blocked despite recommendation to the contrary by national petroleum administrator
Scott Morrison?€?s decision to use extraordinary ministerial powers to block the controversial Pep11 gas exploration licence off the coast of New South Wales is being challenged in the federal court, with the proponent accusing the former prime minister of ?€?bias?€? that denied procedural fairness.
Federal court documents obtained by Guardian Australia also suggest that Morrison?€?s decision to block the permit renewal as the joint decision-maker came despite the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator (Nopta) recommending in April 2020 that the exploration project?€?s licence be extended.
A week ago, the New South Wales premier, Dominic Perrottet, was publicly calling on two of his most senior MPs - the treasurer, Matt Kean, and the transport minister, David Elliott - to stop taking public shots at one another.
Perrottet had, he said, counselled both MPs on the ?€?importance of unity?€? in the wake of an ugly buildup to the election of a new deputy leader.

Praise for attack on writer targeted by decades-old fatwa comes as some fear incident will leave Iran more isolated
Iran has reacted cautiously to the attack on Salman Rushdie, with some citizens offering praise for the brutal stabbing, others claiming it harmed free speech, and several senior officials claiming it was a conspiracy to damage Iran?€?s global image.
Nuclear talks between the US and Iran were cited as a reason for the assault, which has left the acclaimed author on a ventilator in a New York hospital. Several state-aligned news organisations, meanwhile, linked the fatwa issued by late Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini to the violent attack 33 years later.
The removal of Slingshot Rat has sparked debate over the legality of taking cultural artefacts from occupied land
A lost Banksy piece originally spray painted to protest against Israel?€?s separation barrier in the West Bank has resurfaced in a Tel Aviv gallery, sparking debate over the role of public art and the legality of removing cultural artefacts from occupied land.
Slingshot Rat, a stencil painting, appeared on a concrete block at an abandoned Israeli army position in Bethlehem next to a section of the wall in 2007, one of several works in the Palestinian town created in secret. Some time later, the painting was obscured and graffitied with the words, ?€?RIP Banksy Rat?€?, and eventually cut out and removed by unknown persons.
Impact of ?€?traumatic period?€? still lingers with those now based in UK - and their families - 75 years on

Families who fled Taliban rule say they are grateful for the help they have received but long for a home where they can settle
The west London hotel where Fawzia Amini, a senior Afghan judge, her husband and their four daughters have lived for the last nine months has comfortable sofas in the foyer, a restaurant serving tasty meals on the first floor, and friendly reception staff - but it isn?€?t home.
After the turmoil and danger of fleeing their spacious home in Kabul when the Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital, the family say that while they are grateful for everything the UK government has done for them, they long to be in a place of their own where they can cook their own food, work, study, and entertain relatives and friends.
Those without a male relative to act as a mahram are in legal limbo and unable to travel long distances
Hasina* cannot send her two daughters to school, because they are teenagers and high school is banned for girls in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.

The former New York mayor has been identified as a key figure in Donald Trump?€?s attempt to overturn the result of the 2020 election
Donald Trump?€?s former attorney Rudy Giuliani is a target of the criminal investigation in Georgia that has been examining efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in that state by the former president and his allies, a source briefed on the matter confirmed on Monday.

Unsealing the document could reveal the scope of the inquiry against Donald Trump, whose team is rattled by recent events
The US justice department asked a judge Monday to keep sealed the affidavit that gave the FBI probable cause to search Donald Trump?€?s Mar-a-Lago resort over his potentially unlawful retention of government secrets, aggravating distrust within the former president?€?s circle of political advisors.
The affidavit should not be unsealed because doing so could reveal the scope of the criminal investigation, justice department prosecutors argued in a court filing, days after the Mar-a-Lago search warrant showed it referenced potential violations of three criminal statutes.
Campaign to remove George Gascón did not have the required signatures in a major blow to police unions and conservatives
A campaign to recall the progressive Los Angeles district attorney, George Gascón, did not get enough signatures to qualify for the ballot and will not move forward, election officials announced on Monday.

FBI took records including some top secret national security files after a search of the ex-president?€?s Mar-a-Lago property
Donald Trump has demanded the return of some documents seized by the US justice department in an FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago property in Florida last week - apparently under the impression that posts on his Truth Social platform carry legal weight.
In a post on Sunday, the former president wrote: ?€?By copy of this Truth, I respectfully request that these documents be immediately returned to the location from which they were taken. Thank you!?€?
Source close to Donald Trump suggested the justice department would find it trickier to prosecute a presidential candidate
Donald Trump ?€?has to?€? announce a campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 in the next two weeks, according to a senior source close to Trump, if the former president wants to head off being indicted under the Espionage Act after the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago last week.
In communications reviewed by the Guardian, the source indicated Trump needed to announce because politically it would be harder for the US Department of Justice (DoJ) to indict a candidate for office than a former president out of the electoral running.
