Will a 'deportation force' remain in Trump immigration policy? Beyoncé invites mothers of black men killed by police to Video Music Awards; researchers leave Mars dome in Hawaii; Rousseff impeachment trial to begin Donald Trump expected to give policy address in Arizona on Wednesday. Photograph: Carlo Allegri/Reuters Edward Helmore Trump in immigration muddle Ahead of a much-anticipated policy address that the candidate said would take place in Arizona on Wednesday, close advisers said Donald Trump's hardline stance on immigration has not altered, despite recent indications of moderation. "Nothing has changed about Donald Trump's position in dealing with illegal immigration," running mate Mike Pence said. Yet no aide or surrogate could confirm that Trump still plans to use a "deportation force" against the 11 million undocumented migrants who live in the US, a promise which gained traction in the primary. Pence also praised Trump for being "plainspoken", after his controversial tweet about the death in Chicago of a cousin of the NBA star Dwyane Wade. Meanwhile, a polling slump in Republican heartlands is worrying party leaders, though as Ben Jacobs reports, Iowa could buck that trend. Trump surrogates: Republican's position on immigration has not changed Beyoncé brings mothers of black men killed in US to VMAs Pop star Beyoncé invited the mothers of Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and Eric Garner, men who were killed when unarmed, to accompany her to the MTV music awards. The mothers –Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden-Head; Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton; Grant's mother, Wanda Johnson and Garner's mother, Gwen Carr – were also featured in Beyoncé's visual album, Lemonade, holding photos of their deceased sons. Beyoncé brings mothers to MTV VMAs Rebels in the west The Bundy family of Nevada are the preeminent rebel clan of the west. Sam Levin met the current generation, raised on a remote desert ranch in Bunkerville, an unincorporated desert town 80 miles north-east of Las Vegas. The clan's disputes with the federal government and run-ins with law enforcement over land rights have made them folk heroes to many. "The west was won by people standing up," said matriarch Carol Bundy. "It runs deep in our blood. Do you give up on something that is born in you?" How the Bundy family sparked a new battle for the American west Life on Mars: 'astronauts' leave Hawaii dome After a year living in isolation, to simulate the isolation of a mission to Mars, six researchers left a dome on Mauna Loa. The group included a French astrobiologist, a German physicist and four Americans – a pilot, an architect, a doctor/journalist and a soil scientist. "I can give you my personal impression, which is that a mission to Mars in the close future is realistic," said Cyprien Verseux, the crew member from France. "I think the technological and psychological obstacles can be overcome." Mars scientists leave dome on Hawaii mountain after year in isolation Trudeau's China dilemma As the Canadian prime minister embarks on an eight-day visit to China, ending at the G20 summit in Hangzhou, officials see an opportunity to build a closer relationship. The visit places Justin Trudeau in the footsteps of his father, Pierre, whose government re-established diplomatic relations in 1971. Commentators are warning that Trudeau must strike a balance with the ambitious regional superpower. "He's got to be seen as not overtly pro-China, to represent broad Canadian interests," said Hugh Stephens of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada. Trudeau's challenge in China: forging closer ties while remaining wary Impeachment battle to get under way in Brazil The impeachment trial of Brazil's first female president, Dilma Rousseff, is expected to begin on Monday. The Workers Party leader, who was suspended in May, is scheduled to testify before legislators vote for her permanent ejection from office for alleged fiscal irregularities. Rousseff, a former Marxist guerrilla who was tortured during the military dictatorship, has vowed to make a final stand. "The only thing that kills anti-democratic parasites is the oxygen of debate," she said. Rousseff prepares to testify at Brazil impeachment hearing Argentina forced to revisit brutal past Earlier this month, centre-right president Mauricio Macri appeared to doubt the long-accepted historical understanding that 30,000 people died under the military regime that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. "I have no idea. That's a debate I'm not going to enter, whether they were 9,000 or 30,000," he said in an interview with Buzzfeed. Macri's words may have opened the door to regime sympathizers and allowed denialist rhetoric to enter mainstream political discourse. Argentina's brutal history resurfaces as denialist theories creep up again French mayors maintain burkini ban More than 20 mayors who have banned "burkini" full-body swimsuits in resorts along the French riviera are refusing to lift the restrictions despite the country's highest administrative court ruling that the bans on a form of dress worn by Muslim women are a "serious and manifestly illegal violation of fundamental freedoms". The bans, which provide municipal police with authority to stop and fine any woman wearing a burkini, now pose a major problem to the avowedly secular French state. French mayors refuse to lift burkini ban despite court ruling Mafia 'barred' from earthquake reconstruction Franco Roberti, the head of Italy's national anti-mafia directorate, has said organised crime must be prevented from taking any role in reconstruction after the earthquake that killed 281 people. Roberti said organised crime gangs were notorious for infiltrating construction contracts after the 1980 Irpinia earthquake near Naples, in which more than 2,400 people died. "There are risks, it is useless to hide it," Roberti told La Repubblica. "Post-earthquake reconstruction is a tasty morsel for criminal organisations and business interests." Italy must block mafia from earthquake rebuild, says prosecutor German minister: UK must pay for Brexit Germany's economy minister, Sigmar Gabriel, has said Britain must take responsibility for having left Europe an "unstable continent". Gabriel said Britain must not be allowed to "keep the nice things" that come with European Union membership, without taking responsibility for the fallout from Brexit. It was primarily a psychological issue, he said, but if the issue was badly handled, and other member countries followed Britain's lead, Europe would go "down the drain". UK must pay for Brexit or EU is in 'deep trouble', says German minister Car hackers demonstrate their art Car companies are "finally realising that what they sell is just a big computer you sit in", said Kevin Tighe, a senior systems engineer at the security testing firm Bugcrowd. Guardian writer Alex Hern visited Defcon, the world's largest hacking conference, where hackers demonstrated how to take over a Jeep using only a laptop connected to the internet, cutting the brakes and transmission. Car hacking is the future – and sooner or later you'll be hit In case you missed it Two weeks after she polled even with the dead gorilla Harambe in a survey of Texas voters, Green party presidential candidate Jill Stein marked the three-month anniversary of the primate's death with a reminder for "us to be a voice for the voiceless". Harambe, a 17-year-old silverback gorilla, was shot dead after grabbing a three-year-old boy who fell into his enclosure. The animal has since become a social media meme, much to the exasperation of the Cincinnati zoo.

First satellite-based wildlife monitoring tool for airports

First satellite-based wildlife monitoring tool for airports

29-08-2016 12:24 PM CEST

Wildlife habitats close to airports pose a serious risk to safety at takeoff and landing. Thanks to ESA, a new service lets airports use satellites to identify and manage these areas.
