Czech election: Social Democrats lead but no clear winner.

An election held to resolve months of uncertainty in the Czech Republic has failed to produce a clear winner.

With all the ballots counted, the Social Democrats have the most votes - just over 20% - but they do not have enough to form a government alone.

Analysts say the result could pave the way for another unstable coalition, with the second-placed ANO party in a powerful bargaining position.

Children urged to put away screens and play outside.

Children are being urged to take back their "wild time", swapping 30 minutes of screen use for outdoor activities.

The call to renew a connection with nature comes from a collaboration of almost 400 organisations, from playgroups to the NHS.

The Wild Network wants children to take up activities like conkers and camping.

"The tragic truth is that kids have lost touch with nature and the outdoors in just one generation," said chairman Andy Simpson.

Y Viva Espana singer dies aged 82.

Top German spy chiefs to go to Washington for talks.

In Slovakia, the Aeromobil flying car makes good.

With the video telephone and jetpack now conquered, humankind seems bound and determined to make good on another age-old promise: the flying car.
On the heels of the Transition, a prototype air-car created by US-based Terrafugia, comes the Aeromobil, a roadworthy flying car from Slovakia. During testing this week, Version 2.5 of this shapely two-seater proved that it can indeed acquit itself on both road and runway.

The latest prototype in a series that dates to 1990, the Aeromobil 2.5 features carbon fibre body work over a steel chassis. A Rotax 912 light-aircraft power plant – a horizonally opposed 1,211cc four-cylinder engine producing about 100 horsepower – supplies the propulsion on land through the front wheels, and in the air via a three-blade pusher prop. Cruising range (on premium-grade pump gasoline, notes Aeromobil) is 310 miles on land and 430 miles in the air.

The car’s insect-like wings, which sweep back against the body in driving mode, extend to a 27ft span for flight mode. The entire machine tips the scales at a scant 992lbs.

Hardly content with the success of version 2.5, Aeromobil co-founder and head designer Štefan Klein is hard at work on the more comely and refined Aeromobil 3.0 – which, if Klein has his way, will enter series production in the near future. Interested driver-pilots may want to brush up on their radio patter now.
