The ban is being pushed without Parliament’s approval and will instead use regulatory restrictions to change policy. The measure is expected to prevent “almost all” individuals and businesses from importing handguns into Canada, the government said Friday. “This ban is a stopgap while the gun freeze as a whole moves through the parliamentary process, preventing it from being restocked for the foreseeable future,” said Secretary of State Melanie Jolie....

A team of Swedish and Australian researchers observed a mangrove mangrove “talking” as it moved the breathing openings near its eyes, known as spiracles, in a video. The noise produced by sting rays, even sharks, is unheard of, but seeing the ray move away from the camera suggests that the clicking may be a sign of distress or a defense mechanism The team, however, isn’t entirely sure how the sting ray makes the noise, but suggests it could be by contracting the spiracles and opening its gills at the same time....

Comment DALLAS — It was a Trump rally with a Hungarian accent. Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian prime minister who has consolidated authoritarian rule with hard-right opposition to immigration and liberal democracy, addressed a crowd of thousands of American fans in Dallas on Thursday with a speech that could easily have been delivered by any Republican candidate in campaign trail this year. Orban presented the two countries as twin fronts in a fight against common enemies he described as globalists, progressives, communists and “fake news”....

And it came despite some Indiana Republicans opposing the over-traffic bill and others voting no because of its exemptions. The end of Roe was the culmination of decades of work by conservatives, opening the door for states to severely restrict abortions or ban them altogether....

Die anderthalb Meter lange Kettenschlange aus Kalifornien fand ihren Weg nach Baden-Württemberg. Ursprünglich im Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten und Mexiko beheimatet, wurden zwei Exemplare der braunen Schlange mit den markanten gelben Streifen zuletzt in der Nähe von Offenburg und Freiburg gesichtet. Für den Menschen ist sie ungefährlich, für andere Tiere kann die Kettennatter aber durchaus eine Gefahr darstellen, wie das Beispiel Gran Canaria zeigt.

Ukraine’s Turkish-made Bayraktar drones have struck Russian tanks and missile ships, while commercial drones have dropped grenades under tank hatches....
