Clashes in Kashmir (31 photos)

At least 30 people have died after violence broke out following the death of a separatist leader in the Indian-controlled region of Kashmir. Burhan Wani, 22, was a popular leader for the group Hizbul Mujahideen, which advocates for the Muslim-majority region to secede from India. Authorities placed a curfew and restricted phones and the internet, according to the Wall Street Journal, to prevent the spread of demonstrations. Hundreds have been injured.

Kashmiri villagers wave Pakistani flags during the funeral procession of separatist leader Burhan Wani, in Tral, some 38 kilometers (24 miles) south of Srinagar, Indian-controlled Kashmir, July 9, 2016. Indian troops fired on protesters in Kashmir as tens of thousands of Kashmiris defied a curfew imposed in most parts of the troubled region Saturday and participated in the funeral of the top rebel commander killed by Indian government forces, officials and locals said.

New insect imaging technique may help victims of sleeping sickness
Researchers have employed near infrared still photographs and time-lapse video to observe the pupa of the living tsetse fly. The imaging technique may allow lab workers to identify male and female tsetse flies before they emerge as adults, which could make it easier to control them by using the Sterile Insect Technique.

When Exactly Was America Great?

Nostalgia has been a central theme of the 2016 elections with politicians frequently citing the need to “restore” America to its more stable, prosperous past. But when exactly were the country's glory days? We interviewed Americans from Texas, Maryland, California, Florida, and other states to find out.

CAVES2016 - Exploration Day 6

Cavenauts with support and ground teams after exiting the cave. Mission complete!

Astronauts from five space agencies around the world are taking part in ESA's CAVES training course Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.

The two-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.

As they explore the caves of Sardinia they will encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They are testing new technology and conducting science just as if they were living on the International Space Station. The six astronauts relying on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.

This year is the first international space cooperation to involve astronauts from China, Russia, Japan, ESA and America, with cosmonaut Sergei Vladimirovich, ESA astronaut Pedro Duque, taikonaut Ye Guangfu, Japanese astronaut Aki Hoshide and NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Jessica Muir taking part.

Follow CAVES via twitter @ESA_CAVES or with #CAVES2016 or on the CAVES blog.
