    A Watchkeeper WK450 flies over the UK during a test flight. Watchkeeper is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for all weather, Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR). The army's newest unmanned aircraft will take to UK skies soaring at 16,000 feet to capture images of the countryside below. The 'spy in the sky' drone can fly for longer than unmanned planes currently used by the British Army in Afghanistan, and will provide clearer pictures to troops on the ground. The Watchkeeper aircraft - which has a 33 foot wingspan - has been tested in Wales since 2010 and will soar into restricted airspace over Wiltshire. The impressive vehicle can fly for 16 hours, sending back real-time images to on-ground pilots controlling the aircraft more than 150km away. It is expected after MoD trails finish the pilotless surveillance aircraft - which boasts better cameras and sensors than previous models - will be deployed this Summer

The policy is a response to seven fatal shark attacks in Australia's southwest in three years

    Russian riot police detained over 100 protesters on Monday outside a Moscow courthouse where they were demonstrating against the prosecution of seven defendants who were arrested at a 2012 rally against President Vladimir Putin.

    Their pleas fell on deaf ears however as the judge sentenced seven defendants to prison terms ranging from two-and-a-half to four years for attacking police officers.


    Among those detained was Alexei Navalny, who emerged from a series of street protests in 2011-2012 as one of the top opposition leaders
