In a rare step to control over-tourism, a pilot programme has been launched by the Italian city of Venice according to which the day-trippers will be charged an entry fee of €5 (around $5.

In a rare step to control over-tourism, a pilot programme has been launched by the Italian city of Venice according to which the day-trippers will be charged an entry fee of €5 (around $5.35). The authorities hope that the entry fee will discourage visitors from coming on peak days and turn the city into a more livable place for its dwindling number of residents. How has Venice prepared to charge its tourists? The authorities have placed signs which inform the visitors regarding the new requirement for a test phase of 29 days across July. The signs have been placed outside the main train station and other important points of arrival. Meanwhile, the authorities have trained some 200 stewards to politely inform anyone who is not aware of the fees and the process of downloading a QR code. Also Read: Venice to start charging entry fees from visitors in 2024 The authorities have also set up a kiosk for those who are not equipped with a smartphone. Once the tourists cross the designated entry ports, officials will conduct random checks for QR codes which show that the day-tripper tax has been paid or that they have exempted the bearer. A fine of €50 ($53) to €300 ($321) will be imposed on the transgressors. The entry fee is applicable only to people who are entering the city between 8:30 am and 4 pm. Those who wish to enter Venice outside of those hours are not required to pay any fees. Venice's tourism official, Simone Venturini said, "We need to find a new balance between the tourists and residents. We need to safeguard the spaces of the residents, of course, and we need to discourage the arrival of day-trippers on some particular days.” Venice battles mass tourism The move was supported by the city's council executive just weeks after Venice was recommended by the UN cultural agency UNESCO to be included in its list of world heritage in danger, especially because of the negative impact of mass tourism. Watch: Venice to charge tourists an entry fee to avoid overcrowding For years, the authorities in Venice have sought to ease the pressure of the increasing number of tourists who reach Venice to see sights, which include St Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. Repeatedly, the ticketing plan has been postponed as concerns were raised that it is likely to seriously affect tourist revenue and compromise people's freedom of movement. Locals marched in protest of the city's new day-trip entrance charge. Protesters argue that the admission charge will not address the lagoon city's problems of overtourism and depopulation.

ANZAC Day, celebrated every year on&nbsp;April 25, is a day of national remembrance for Australia and New Zealand, as it marks the landing of the Australian &amp; New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) on the shores of Gallipoli, Türkiye on 25th April 1915. Every year since 1916, Australians and New Zealanders gather in solidarity to honour the sacrifice, courage and camaraderie of the original ANZACs.

On April 25, 1915, Australian and New Zealand soldiers formed part of the Allied expedition that set out to capture the Gallipoli peninsula from the Ottoman Turks. Their plan to knock Türkiye out of the war quickly became a stalemate and the campaign dragged on for eight months.&nbsp;

At the end of 1915, the Allied forces were evacuated. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and endured great hardships. Over 8,000 Australian soldiers were killed. Anzac Day is held in remembrance of all Australians killed in military operations. Commemorative services are held at war memorials at dawn- the time of the original landing in Gallipoli.&nbsp;

<h2>ANZAC Day Commemorative events&nbsp;</h2>

The Australian Consulate-General in Chennai held a dawn service at the Madras War Cemetery, where 15 Australians and six New Zealanders are laid to rest.&nbsp;

“ANZAC Day is a time to reflect on the contributions made by past and present service personnel who have displayed great courage and self-sacrifice in serving our country. We remember not only the Australians and New Zealanders but also the 16,000 Indian Army soldiers who served in Gallipoli,” said Ms Silai Zaki, the Australian Consul-General in Chennai.

&nbsp;Ms Zaki added, “Each year on ANZAC Day we recall the toll of war in numbers that are beyond reckoning. And we re-dedicate ourselves to maintaining peace. A peace that enables Australia and other countries to have the freedom to decide our own futures, free of interference.”

Top officials from the Indian Armed Forces attended the commemorative event at the Madras War Memorial, where there are graves of 856 Commonwealth service people who died in the Second World War. Lieutenant General Karanbir Singh Brar, General Officer Commanding, Dakshin Bharat Area, Indian Army, and Rear Admiral Ravi Kumar Dhingra, Flag Officer Commanding, Tamil Nadu Puducherry Naval Area participated in the ceremony. Australian and New Zealand communities in Chennai were represented by cricketers Michael Hussey, and Stephen Fleming.&nbsp;

<h2>The ANZAC Biscuit</h2>

During World War One, friends and families sent food to the fighting men. Due to the time delays in getting food items to the front lines, they had to send food that would remain edible for long periods of time and retain high nutritional value. The Anzac biscuit met this need.

Initially known as the Soldiers’ Biscuit, the current name, Anzac Biscuit, has as much to do with Australia’s desire to recognise the Anzac tradition and the Anzac biscuit as part of the staple diet at Gallipoli.&nbsp;

The Anzac biscuit is one of the few commodities that are able to be legally marketed in Australia using the word ‘Anzac’, which is protected by Federal Legislation.

Russia-Ukraine war | US secretly shipped 'ATACMS' missile to Kyiv: Report

A top Hamas official has stated that the militant group was ready to lay down arms for five years or more, if an independent Palestinian state is established along the pre-1967 borders.

This significant statement was made by Hamas political official Khalil al-Hayya during an interview with news agency Associated Press on Wednesday (Apr 24) in Istanbul. The top Hamas official also said that the group would convert into a political party.

<h2>A significant concession</h2>

As per the report, the suggestion that the Hamas would disarm appeared to be a "significant concession" by the militant group which is officially committed to Israel's destruction.

However, it is unlikely that Tel Aviv would even consider a truce. Israel, after the deadly Oct 7 attacks, had vowed to crush Hamas. Moreover, Israel's current leadership has been adamantly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state on lands the nation captured during the 1967 Mideast war.

<h2>A 'fully sovereign Palestinian state'</h2>

Al-Hayya, who has previously represented the Palestinian militants in negotiations for a cease-fire and hostage exchange, said that Hamas would accept "a fully sovereign Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the return of Palestinian refugees in accordance with the international resolutions".

He stated that if the demand is met, Hamas's military wing would dissolve, turning into a political party.

"All the experiences of people who fought against occupiers, when they became independent and obtained their rights and their state, what have these forces done? They have turned into political parties and their defending fighting forces have turned into the national army?".

AP reports that even as Hamas at times softens its public position about the possibility of a Palestinian state alongside Israel, it officially continues to reject "any alternative to the full liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea". Here 'river to the sea' refers to the area reaching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea — including lands that now make up Israel.

The Hamas leader, however, failed to explicitly specify whether the two-state solution would mean an end to the Palestinian-Israel conflict or if it would merely be an interim step towards Hamas' goal of destroying Israel.

Israel war: Hamas top official says militant group ready to lay down arms on one condition

New research has shed light on the intricate mating behaviours of certain squid species based on the timing of their hatching.

A study conducted by marine biologist Shota Hosono from the University of Tokyo reveals a fascinating correlation between the hatching period and the reproductive tactics adopted by male squid.

According to the study, male squid have different mating strategies depending on the month they hatch.

Squids that hatch early in the breeding season,&nbsp;spanning&nbsp;from early April to mid-July, tend to grow&nbsp;larger&nbsp;by the time mating season arrives.

These&nbsp;larger&nbsp;individuals become "consorts," engaging in aggressive behaviour to fend off rivals and secure mating opportunities with females. Once&nbsp;successful, they guard the female while she lays her eggs.

In contrast, squid hatched later in the season, from early June to mid-August, typically remain&nbsp;smaller&nbsp;in size.

These individuals adopt a "sneaker" strategy, covertly depositing their sperm near females as they lay their eggs, aiming to fertilise them without engaging in direct competition with other males.

Interestingly, squid born in early July displays a mix of both behaviours, with an equal likelihood of becoming consorts or sneakers. This phenomenon mirrors the relative age effect observed in other species&nbsp;such&nbsp;as humans, where individuals born earlier in the year often have advantages in&nbsp;certain&nbsp;contexts due to additional developmental time.

The research marks the first evidence of the "birthdate hypothesis" in aquatic invertebrates&nbsp;suggesting&nbsp;that male squid are predisposed to specific mating behaviours from birth.

Even when early-hatched males fail to develop as expected, they maintain their predetermined mating tactic rather than switching strategies. Rather than solely genetic factors, the study suggests that a complex interplay of physical, biological, and environmental factors at birth influences mating behaviour in squid.

Nonetheless, the research revealed that despite growing up in different seasons, the growth rates of consorts and sneakers during early life were not significantly different.&nbsp;This&nbsp;indicates the need for additional research to unravel the potential influence of environmental factors on squid mating behaviours.

A pig kidney was transplanted by doctors in a New Jersey woman who was on her deathbed as part of a dramatic combination of surgeries which also included giving her a mechanical heart pump to stabilise her failing heart.

A pig kidney was transplanted by doctors in a New Jersey woman who was on her deathbed as part of a dramatic combination of surgeries which also included giving her a mechanical heart pump to stabilise her failing heart. The combination of kidney and heart failure had made the woman, identified as Lisa Pisano, too sick to qualify for a traditional transplant. A novel one-two-punch method was devised by the doctors at NYU Langone Health. According to this method, the doctors implanted a mechanical pump to keep her heart beating and after days, transplanted a kidney in the woman from a genetically modified pig. Also Read: Cross-border heart transplant: Indian donor saves Pakistani teenager's life The NYU team on Wednesday (April 24) said that Pisano is recovering well and that she is the second patient to ever receive a pig kidney after a historic transplant was completed successfully at the Massachusetts General Hospital last month. On April 4, Pisano received the heart pump and then she got a gene-edited pig kidney along with the pig’s thymus gland on April 12. NYU Langone Health said that her case is the first to be reported where a person has received an organ transplant along with a mechanical heart pump. Woman recovers after historic surgery, takes first steps The 54-year-old has been recovering fast from the surgery and recently took her first few steps. Speaking to The Associated Press, Pisano said, “I was at the end of my rope. I just took a chance. And you know, worst case scenario, if it didn’t work for me, it might have worked for someone else and it could have helped the next person.” The director of NYU Langone Transplant Institute, Dr Robert Montgomery remembered the cheers he heard in the operating room just after the organ started making urine immediately. Watch: Xenotransplantation: Pig kidney transplanted into human Speaking about the early results of the surgery, Montgomery said, “It’s been transformative." However, “we’re not off the hook yet,” Dr Nader Moazami said. He is the NYU cardiac surgeon who carried out the heart pump's implantation. Speaking about the woman's health condition prior to the surgery, Montgomery said Pisano “was getting sicker and sicker, and really, her life expectancy could be measured in days or weeks". He added that her situation was a "medical Catch-22". “She had both heart and kidney failure but was not a candidate for a combined heart and kidney transplant because of her other health conditions,” Montgomery stated. Meanwhile, transplant experts have kept a close watch on how the patient is performing. In the United States, more than 100,000 people are on the waiting list for a kidney.
