Designs have been unveiled for an underwater drone that can enter enemy waters without being detected. The Manta Ray Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (UUV) developed by aerospace and defence tech company Northrop Grumman is designed for assignments that call for long hours and extended ranges to minimize human involvement. The Virginia-based defence contractor shared a photo of the vehicle on April 8, the first day of the Navy League's Sea-Air-Space conference in Maryland. The image shows the vehicle's glider-like body with a rounded nose. The Manta Ray program began in 2020 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). The goal was to create a large underwater drone that could be used independently of vessels manned by humans. Darpa later collaborated with Northrop and PacMar Technologies to design early versions of the drone. The agency also noted interest in using the Manta Ray for tasks such as underwater hazard detection and threat counter-detection.

Twenty-two years ago we (well, my wife) started looking for a primary school for our two daughters. My wife soon found out about a Church of England state primary, Hampden Gurney, just around the corner, which was run by the extraordinary Evelyn Chua and was a school that was positively glimmering with academic success. It was immediately impressive: there were children representing most religions and races in London — when our children joined, around 60.

The IMF forecast global real GDP growth of 3.2% for 2024 and 2025 - the same rate as in 2023. The 2024 forecast was revised upward by 0.1 percentage point from the previous World Economic Outlook's estimate in January, largely due to a significant upward revision in the U.S. outlook.
