PRINCE CHARLES, heir-to-the-British throne, will make an official visit to India next month with a focus on sustainable markets, climate change and social finance, his office said on Monday.

Charles, 70, will arrive in New Delhi for the two-day visit on Wednesday November 13.

It will be Charles' 10th official visit to India. His last was as part of a joint tour with his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to Brunei, India, Singapore and Malaysia in November 2017.

More details about the visit, made at the request of the Foreign Office based on the government’s priorities, will be announced in due course, his Clarence House office added. Britain has been keen to secure a trade deal with India after it leaves the European Union.

The announcement also comes a week after Charles's son William and his wife Kate completed a four-day trip to India's neighbour Pakistan.

Scientists capture first-ever video of the Colossal Squid in the deep sea

In a groundbreaking moment for marine biology, scientists have captured the first-ever footage of a colossal squid swimming in its natural deep-sea environment. The rare sighting marks a significant milestone in the study of one of the world’s most elusive sea creatures, nearly 100 years after it was first discovered.

The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is the largest invertebrate on Earth, capable of reaching lengths of up to 10 metres and weighing nearly half a metric tonne. It is also the largest known mollusc and possesses the biggest eyes of any known animal, measuring almost 30 centimetres in diameter.

UK set to be hotter than Hawaii with 26°C heat later this month

Forecasters are predicting that the UK could experience its warmest day of the year later this month, with temperatures set to surpass those in Hawaii. According to weather experts, Sunday, 27 April, is expected to bring highs of up to 26°C, particularly across parts of eastern England.

The rise in temperature is attributed to warm air moving eastwards from the Atlantic, which will bring a noticeable shift from the cooler conditions experienced across the UK earlier in the month. Meteorologists at Metdesk, who supply data to the weather service Ventusky, expect Norfolk and Cambridgeshire to enjoy the highest temperatures.
