London, July 30 : It has a beating heart, a breathing belly and appears to react emotionally to the way it is treated – no it is not a human being but a mechanical robot ‘with feelings’.

Scientists have developed Heart Robot, which relaxes when it is shown kindness and flinches at anger. 

Heart Robot has sensors that respond to movement, noise and touch. Cuddle him, and he seems to soak up the affection. His limbs become limp, his eyelids lower, his breathing relaxes, and his heart beat slows down.

London, July 30: Foreign students will be able to work in Britain or an extra year after graduating before being sent home, ministers will say.

They will also unveil measures to stop bogus colleges, which are used as fronts to allow illegal immigrants to enter the country.

Students are by far the biggest category for long-term visitors to Britain, with 1.6 million visas handed out in the past five years, The Telegraph reported.

London, July 30 : A British designer has come up with a sports car that can be folded in half to park it in tight spaces.

Daniel Bailey, 22, has revealed that the BRB Evolution jacks up on its nose with its back wheels sliding underneath on two rollers, and thus uses 50 per cent less parking space.

He says that motorists will have to step out of the car before it morphs into its "upright" parking pose.

He adds that the car will run on electricity or hydrogen fuel, and will be more "sexy, sleek and mean" than other eco-cars.

According to him, his invention is inspired by the Lamborghini Murcielago and Peugeot 908.

London, July 30 : A New Zealand-based inventor has developed a real-life jetpack that can actually enable people to fly just like Superman.

Glenn Martin, who worked on this invention in secret over the past 10 years, unveiled it at AirVenture, an annual experimental aerospace show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Glenn’s son Harrison was the pilot who showed it off without mishap.

The company has also launched an accompanying website, which calls its invention the "world''s first practical jetpack".

The description of the Martin Jetpack on the website suggests that it does not have very sleek looks, and would come without music system options. 

London, July 30 : The United Nations has admitted that five million pounds of aid intended for Burmese cyclone survivors has been skimmed off by banks run by the country''s military junta.

The missing money is likely to have lined the pockets of the ruling generals and their business cronies.

The scam, which is still occurring, involves forcing the UN to buy the local currency, the Kyat, at above the market rate by changing money through government backed Foreign Exchange Certificates (FEC).

A dollar currently buys around K 1,100 while a "one dollar" FEC only buys K880.

London, July 30: British citizens have said that they will not vote for the ruling Labour Party even if MPs remove Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

A poll on Tuesday showed that barely half of Britons think dumping Brown will boost Labour’s flagging fortunes.

The news came as ministers prepared a mass resignation in a desperate bid to unseat the Prime Minister and save their jobs.

Bookies said that the double blow makes it even less likely that Brown can win another term, the Daily Star reported.
