China’s economy in period of ‘deflation’ - BBC News
#BBCNews #China #Economy
China's imports and exports fell more sharply than expected last month as weaker global demand threatened the recovery prospects of the world's second-largest economy.
Official figures show that exports fell by 14.5% in July compared with a year earlier, while imports dropped 12.4%.
The grim trade figures reinforce concerns that the country's economic growth could slow further this year.
It will increase pressure on Beijing to help boost the post-pandemic recovery.

A mother-daughter duo have reached the edge of space, making history aboard a Virgin Galactic flight.
Keisha Schahaff from Antigua won the prize while flying to the UK, where her daughter is studying, and they were joined on the space flight by former British Olympic canoeist Jon Goodwin, 80.

How Will We Extract Water on the Moon? We Asked a NASA Technologist

New: Mars In 4K
A world first. New footage from Mars rendered in stunning 4K resolution. We also talk about the cameras on board the Martian rovers and how we made the video.
The cameras on board the rovers were the height of technology when the respective missions launched.
A question often asked is:
‘Why don’t we actually have live video from Mars?’
Although the cameras are high quality, the rate at which the rovers can send data back to earth is the biggest challenge. Curiosity can only send data directly back to earth at 32 kilo-bits per second.
Instead, when the rover can connect to the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, we get more favourable speeds of 2 Megabytes per second.
However, this link is only available for about 8 minutes each Sol, or Martian day.
As you would expect, sending HD video at these speeds would take a long long time. As nothing really moves on Mars, it makes more sense to take and send back images.

Poverty in Britain - Why are millions of Brits so broke? | DW Documentary
Jul 2023 #dwdocumentary #documentary #britain
Britain has a historically low unemployment rate of 3.6%. Yet poverty levels are breaking all records. It’s a paradoxical situation: almost 15 million Britons are considered poor these days, although there’s almost full employment. The reason: inflation and high energy costs.
Galloping inflation and a dramatic spike in energy costs in recent months are forcing millions of Britons into poverty. Wages fluctuate in an "uberized” working world of precarious employment conditions. Over the past 10 years, beginning with David Cameron, the government has scaled back its support to vulnerable members of society. The result: reduced life expectancy. Disadvantaged Britons are dying 10 years sooner than their wealthier compatriots - victims of what’s become known as the "shit life syndrome” - a life marked by poor living conditions, disease and addiction.

Big freeze drove early humans out of Europe, scientists reveal
11 Aug 2023 #History #Science #BBCNews
A big freeze previously unknown to science drove early humans from Europe for 200,000 years, but they adapted and returned, new research shows.
Ocean sediments from 1.1 million years ago show temperatures suddenly dropped more than 5C, scientists said.
They said our early ancestors couldn't have survived as they didn't have heating or warm clothes.
Until now, the consensus had been that humans had existed in Europe continuously for 1.5 million years.
