A radioactive capsule that fell off a truck in the Australian outback - sparking a radiation alert and a search of hundreds of miles of road - has been found.
Western Australia's emergency services minister confirmed the silver capsule, which emits Caesium-137, had been located.
Authorities have been involved in a needle-in-a-haystack hunt for the 6mm by 8mm capsule and were slowly retracing the truck's 870-mile route with radiation-scanning equipment.

Annual gold demand increased 18 per cent last year to 4,741 tonnes, the largest amount since 2011, driven by a 55-year high in central bank purchases, according to the World Gold Council, an industry-backed group.

WASHINGTON—Resilient demand, easing inflation and China’s reopening should allow the global economy to grow a bit faster than previously expected, the International Monetary Fund said.

The eurozone economy grew faster than China and the U.S. last year, underlining how the fading Covid-19 pandemic continues to scramble traditional patterns of global growth.
Figures released by the European Union’s statistics agency Tuesday showed the currency- area’s economy grew at an annualized rate of 0.5% as higher energy costs weighed on household spending. This translated into 3.5% growth in gross domestic product for 2022 as a whole, a faster rate than seen in either China or the U.S.

For the first time ever, wind and solar generated more electricity in the European Union than any other source - preventing a feared return to coal as the continent battled an energy crisis.
As Russia cut off gas supplies to Europe last year, countries including the UK, Germany and Italy put more coal power on standby to fill the gaps, raising feared of increased greenhouse gas emissions from the most polluting fossil fuel.

US President Joe Biden has ruled out sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, despite renewed calls from Ukrainian officials for urgent air support.
Asked by a reporter on Monday if the US would be providing the planes, Mr Biden simply replied "no".
His comment comes a day after Germany's leader also ruled out sending jets.
Ukraine has long been pushing its allies to send advanced war planes to help Kyiv take control of its airspace in its ongoing war with Russia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and the country's top military officials say there should be no taboos on such military aid - but the US and its partners fear this would lead to further escalation with a nuclear-armed Russia.

The move represents a substantial roll-back of price hikes Ford announced last summer on the 2023 models – but buyers may still be paying somewhat more than before the increases.

Cindy Williams, an actress best known for her role in the popular 1970s sitcom Laverne & Shirley, has died at the age of 75, her family said.
Williams had a long show business career, also appearing in movies including George Lucas's 1973 film American Graffiti.
She died peacefully last week after a brief illness, according to the statement from her children.
Emily and Zak Hudson called their mother "kind and hilarious".
Her death "has brought us insurmountable sadness that could never truly be expressed", they said in a statement on Monday that was shared by family spokesperson Liza Cranis.
"Knowing and loving her has been our joy and privilege. She was one of a kind, beautiful, generous and possessed a brilliant sense of humour and a glittering spirit that everyone loved."

In the 30-odd years since she first ran along the California beaches in Baywatch - the lifeguard drama that remains one of the most-watched series ever - fans and critics have become acquainted with different parts of Pamela Anderson's life story: Playboy covers, a leaked sex tape and many marriages.
A stolen VHS, featuring intimate footage of Anderson with her first husband Tommy Lee, was distributed for more than $75m (£60m) in sales in the first year alone, and a fictionalised account of the ordeal made by Hulu earned widespread acclaim and 10 Emmy nominations.
On Tuesday, the Canadian-born platinum blonde will tell that story herself, in both a memoir and a nearly two-hour Netflix documentary.

BBC NewsPoland has announced a sharp increase in defence spending, saying the change is needed because of the Ukraine war.
It is the latest European country to say it is increasing military spending as a result of the conflict.
Poland has a military budget of just less than 2.5% of its GDP, but the prime minister says he wants to increase the figure to 4% this year.
Last week, Mateusz Morawiecki urged Germany to allow his country to export Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine.
"The war in Ukraine makes us arm ourselves even faster. That is why this year we will make an unprecedented effort: 4% of GDP for the Polish army," Mr Morawiecki said.

Even before Boeing's 747 flew its first passengers back in 1970, the world knew this was something special. And from day one, the Anderson family has quite literally had their hands on nearly every single 747 built, working on the production line in Everett, Washington.
Kelvin "Andy" Anderson was a supervisor on the prototype; his son, Vic, is now a lead mechanic on the last one (and about 875 before it).
"He turned them on, and I'll be turning them off. Means a lot to our family," Vic said.

Bad boys for life!
Will Smith and Martin Lawrence announced Tuesday that they are reuniting for another sequel in their “Bad Boys” franchise.
Smith took to social media with the news of “Bad Boys 4” with a video on his verified Instagram account.
In the video, Smith amps his followers up as he climbs into the car and drives.
“Yo, I’ve got an announcement,” he says in the beginning. “Y’all better stop scrolling. Seriously.”
He then heads to Lawrence’s house, where Lawrence opens the door and asks, “It’s about that time?”
They say in unison “Bad boys 4 life” before riffing on the fact that the third film, released in 2020, was titled “Bad Boys For Life.”
Lawrence shared the video on his verified account.
The first two films were “Bad Boys” released in 1995 and “Bad Boys II” in 2003.
According to Deadline, the new film is in early pre-production with the third movie’s directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah returning to direct the fourth.
