Sinn Féin — which contests elections in both parts of Ireland — has spent nearly three decades appealing for the British government to permit a border poll in Northern Ireland. Sinn Féin wants the north, a part of the U.K., to merge with the Republic of Ireland, which won independence from Britain more than a century ago. Reflecting the party’s more complicated all-Ireland structure, Sinn Féin came to Cardiff represented both by O’Neill, who leads the cross-community government in Northern Ireland, and by party chief Mary Lou McDonald, a Dubliner who leads the opposition in Ireland’s parliament. McDonald — who…

Science fiction has long given us depictions of humans living on the Moon. In recent years, as technological advances have continued at pace, space entrepreneurs have started making plans for how they could actually do it. However, a new study published this week by the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) has provided a reality check, finding that the biggest obstacle facing would-be colonisers are the Moon’s existing ice reserves, which are insufficient to support a lunar city. The study, titled “There Are No Cities on the Moon,” looked at how much power and water a large population would use on…
Crowds flocked to Warsaw for Poland’s annual Bird Imitation Championships, where competitors tweeted and chirped it out to recreate the calls of the country’s native bird species. This year’s crown went to Irena Rosiewicz, who impressed the judges with her imitation of the common rosefinch, a migratory songbird found across much of Eurasia. Organisers hope the annual event will encourage more people to appreciate birdsong in the city, while also highlighting how it is gradually disappearing from urban life.

Families gathered around rows of coffins, some carrying photographs of the victims, while hundreds attended the service in the eastern city. UNICEF said at least 26 children died and 25 others were injured. The fire broke out at around 9am local time (07:00 GMT) on Thursday, 11 September, while pupils were attending lessons at Ujamaa Primary School in the Chimpunda neighbourhood of Bukavu’s densely populated Kadutu commune.
