King Charles hands over military role to William
Full Video>> King Charles has handed over a prestigious role with the Army Air Corps to his son Prince William. "The great thing is he's a very good pilot indeed," said the King. It is unusual for the King and the Prince of Wales to both take part in an engagement - and this has been a symbolic handing over of the baton. The King had become colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps 32 years ago - and now he has been succeeded by his eldest son, Prince William. With his own cancer treatment still continuing, the King spoke to a veteran at the event in Hampshire who had undergone chemotherapy for testicular cancer - and they appeared to discuss losing the sense of taste. The King arrived by helicopter at the Army Aviation Centre, where he met Prince William for the formal handing over of this military title. In an impromptu speech, the King said the moment was "tinged with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all". He spoke of his "immense admirat...
Glimmer of hope for mountain chicken frog which was once a national dish
Full Video>> A frog that has been cooked and eaten for decades on the Caribbean island of Dominica is on the verge of becoming extinct, but there is now a frantic push to try to save it. The mountain chicken frog (Leptodactylus fallax) was once considered Dominica's unofficial national dish, according to locals. "When I used to cook it, I would just cut it and put it into a broth," says Alain Mellow as he sits selling fruit and vegetables in Roseau, the bustling capital city of Dominica. It tasted "just like chicken", according to Mr Mellow, who is now in his 70s, and believes the nutrients from the mountain chicken frog have contributed to his good health. Another local name for the mountain chicken is "crapaud" (the French word for toad), a reminder of Dominica's past as a French colony. There were different ways to cook the four-legged creature. Some preferred to include it in a stew, while others salivated over the golden-brown fried op...
The deep ocean photographer that captured a 'living fossil'
Full Video>> Scientists are racing to trace deep ocean species before they are lost, with the help of photographers who have a taste for danger. In 2010 four friends, carrying 32kg (71lb) worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs – and took the first ever photograph of a living coelacanth. "It's not just a fish we thought was extinct," says Ballesta. "It's a masterpiece in the history of evolution." Venture back to the beginning of the age of the dinosaurs, and you'd find coelacanths in abundance, on every continent, living in the steamy marshes of the Triassic Period. Dating back 410 million years, the coelacanth belongs to the group of "lobe-finned" fish that left the ocean between about 390 and 360 million years ago. Its strong, fleshy ...
