Largest triceratops dinosaur skeleton sells for £5.6m
The world's biggest triceratops skeleton, known as ‘Big John’, was sold for €6.6 million (£5.5m) on Thursday to a private collector at a Paris auction house.
The enormous skeleton, estimated to be over 66 million years old, was found in 2014 in South Dakota. The triceratops is known for its three horns on the head.
Big John, named after the owner of the land where it was found, is certified by the Guinness World Records as the largest documented skeleton of a triceratops. The dinosaur died in an ancient flood plain on the island continent stretching from present-day Alaska to Mexico, allowing the conservation of its skeleton in mud.
The skeleton is 23ft long and stands 8ft high at the hips. The skull represents more than one third of its total length, with two large horns over 3.6ft long.

How to make your home climate change ready | COP 26
Climate change is warming our planet and weather patterns are changing. From wildfires to floods, people are having to deal with weather extremes more frequently.
Here in the UK, many of our buildings weren’t built with the possibility of future weather extremes in mind. In fact, with 38% of our homes built before 1946, and only 7% post-2000, the UK has the oldest housing stock in Europe.
Consequently, many of our homes are now already at risk, or will be in the future. So just what exactly should we be preparing for, and how can you make your home climate change ready?

Angela Merkel faces down Emmanuel Macron over 'Polexit' at last summit
Subscribe to The Telegraph on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/3idrdLH
Angela Merkel faced down calls from Emmanuel Macron and other EU leaders to punish Poland in her last summit as Chancellor.
Amid mounting fears the battle over rule of law could collapse the bloc, the German chancellor called on her counterparts to cool tensions over Poland’s challenge to the primacy of EU law.
Mrs Merkel, 67, urged the bloc to learn the lessons of Brexit, which the veteran leader warned was a completely avoidable divorce.
Her call for peace came amid a flurry of threats to withhold tens of billions of EU funds from Poland after the country’s constitutional court ruled that its laws have supremacy over European rules.
Poland’s prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, said he would not bow down to the pressure of blackmail over the issue.

The death of Sir David Amess cast a shadow over Westminster this week, and in the wake of such a shocking loss comes renewed discussions around MPs' safety.
Former Environment and Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers opens up about the threats she's received, cautions against disrupting constituents' access to their MP and tells Chopper why comments about "Tory scum" just aren't helpful.
Also on the podcast: Andrew Mitchell MP gives us a glimpse behind the fringe in his new memoir and shares a touching memory of his friend Sir David, and former Health Secretary under New Labour Alan Milburn has some words of caution for the government as they embark on pumping money into an ailing NHS (sound familiar?)

Mark Francois and Andrew Rosindell pay tribute to their fellow Conservative MP and much-loved friend, Sir David Amess, following his tragic death. But should MPs' security be ramped up? Mr Francois tells our podcast co-hosts, Allison Pearson and Liam Halligan why overly zealous measures risk "letting the bad guys win", while Mr Rosindell asks why his friend never held ministerial office.

The irony of holding a climate change summit held amid a global energy crisis isn’t lost on our co-pilot as Allison declares the Prime Minister’s latest energy plans an act of virtue signalling, while Liam encourages a smarter approach to renewable energy.
And there’s a revelatory update from our NHS insider, George in the light of the recent spike in Covid infections.

Follow Bryony Gordon's Mad World for free to make sure you never miss an episode: https://www.playpodca.st/madworld?
Today's guest is on a mission to transform the way we view people addicted to drugs. This year, Professor Dame Carol Black led a government review into the way we handle drug addiction in this country - be that treatment and recovery, or even prevention. She called for a more health-based approach and more than £500 million investment over five years.
This Addiction Awareness Week, Bryony has teamed up with Action on Addiction and the Forward Trust to bring you a conversation each day tackling a different element of addiction. Because even though we are slowly breaking down the stigma around discussing mental health, addiction - sadly - remains a taboo, even though we will all know someone touched by it.
Dame Carol tells Bryony why alcohol is "just as dangerous" as other drugs, why she feels addiction should be treated as a chronic health condition, and explains why the current system is "broken".
You can find more information about organisations that offer free and confidential support at the end of this episode.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern paused briefly as an earthquake rattled the capital Wellington on Friday while she was addressing the nation in a coronavirus briefing.
Wellington and nearby areas were shaken by a 5.9 magnitude earthquake with the epicentre 21.75 miles south-west of Taumarunui in central North Island, according to Geonet. While the shaking was felt widely there were no reports of damages or injuries. The US Geological Survey put the magnitude at 5.6.
Ms Ardern briefly grabbed her podium when the shaking began, smiled, and told a reporter asking a question: "Sorry, a slight distraction...would you mind repeating that question?"

Robot artist freed from Egyptian custody after espionage fears
Subscribe to The Telegraph on YouTube ► https://bit.ly/3idrdLH
The world’s first robotic artist has been released from Cairo Airport after 10 days in custody.
Border guards felt the humanoid, named Ai-da, posed a security risk as she had cameras in her eyes, but they freed the UK-made creation in time for an art show at the Pyramids.
The “security issues” were thought to include worries that she was part of a wider espionage plot, in part because she had a modem, and a potential enemy of the state.
Read more here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2021/10/21/robot-artist-freed-egyptian-custody-espionage-fears/
Ai-da's technology enables her to use the cameras implanted in her eyes to translate what she sees into fine art. The project is updated as advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are made.
Ai-da has created a clay sculpture based on the riddle of the Sphinx, which is part of the first contemporary art exhibition at the Pyramids in thousands of years.

The UK and New Zealand have agreed a trade deal that will expand the existing £2.3 billion of trade and should make imports of some Sauvignon Blanc and honey cheaper.
Boris Johnson and Jacinda Ardern, the New Zealand prime minister, talked on Wednesday and agreed the deal, which will need to be ratified by Parliament, in principle.
Tariffs as high as 10 per cent on British goods such as clothing, footwear, buses, ships and bulldozers will be removed, boosting sale opportunities in New Zealand. In turn, New Zealand products such as Sauvignon Blanc, Manuka honey and kiwifruit should become cheaper to import into the UK.
There will also be benefits for British lawyers and architects, who will be able to work in New Zealand more easily, as well as improvement to business travel arrangements.

How Joe Biden's gaffes are hurting his image as a transparent president
In just eight months, Joe Biden has already accumulated a high number of gaffes which are hurting his image.
From forgetting the names of officials he's appearing with, to factual mistakes and spells of incoherent stuttering, the 46th President of the United States has become a gaffe machine.
The White House has adopted a "protective posture" to limit the President's unscripted encounters, according to US editor Nick Allen.
"It's all very damaging to Mr Biden's reputation as a straight shooter", Nick Allen said.
Watch the full analysis and a compilation of some of his gaffes in the video above.

In full: Sajid Javid warns Covid cases could hit 100,000 a day this winter
Health Secretary Sajid Javid will lead a Downing Street press conference as the Government faces pressure from health chiefs to impose coronavirus restrictions.
Mr Javid's appearance comes amid mounting concern about rising cases and a faltering vaccination programme.
Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation which represents health bodies, warned "we risk stumbling into a winter crisis" unless measures such as face masks and vaccine passports - the Government's "Plan B" for the coming months - are introduced in England.
He called for ministers to come up with a "Plan C" of even tougher restrictions if those measures are insufficient to address pressure on the health service.
