EU set to overturn ban on baby African elephants being caught and sent to foreign zoos
Threatened giraffes are however, given protection from unregulated trade for first time ever

The European Union (EU) is poised to vote in favour of exporting wild baby elephants from Africa to zoos worldwide – a trade condemned as “barbaric”.

Officials say they will allow the practice to continue, thereby overturning a recent decision by 46 other countries at a meeting of the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) over the weekend.

Conservationists have attacked the 28 nation bloc’s “shocking and shameful” stance, accusing the bloc of “condemning young elephants to a life of hell”.

Quantum teleportation breakthrough announced by scientists
Discovery opens up new 'dimension' in transmitting information

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in quantum teleportation, successfully transferring something far more complex than ever before.

Quantum teleportation is a still mysterious phenomena that can see information flung across space.

The effect is not the same as the teleportation often seen in science fiction – where matter is moved through space – but instead is the transfer information about the quantum state of a particle. It could have huge and unimagined effects on the way we organise and transmit information, including the possibility of a vastly more complicated quantum internet.
