Ishtar&#39;s lovers were sometimes said to have met unfortunate ends, and she has dramatic cameos in some of the most famous literature of the period. <br/><br/>Misha Glenny and his guests discuss how Ishtar was depicted in ancient texts, and the role of religion in Mesopotamian society. <br/>This In Our Time episode looks at why Ishtar’s seemingly contradictory portfolio as a goddess made her so powerful, and so fascinating thousands of years later. <br/>The discussion explores Ishtar’s central role in Mesopotamian pantheon, her importance for kings throughout period, and how Ishtar relates to other deities of the ancient world like Aphrodite.<br/><br/>With<br/><br/>Martin Worthington<br/>Leader of the European Research Council Project MesOr at the University of Pisa<br/><br/>Christopher Metcalf<br/>Professor of Ancient Literature and Religion and Fellow in Classics at Queen’s College, University of Oxford<br/><br/>And<br/><br/>Selena Wisnom<br/>Lecturer in the Heritage of the Middle East at the University of Leicester<br/><br/>Producer: Martha Owen<br/><br/>Reading List:<br/><br/>Was Dust Their Food and Clay Their Bread?

The conflict had been going on for over a year, and there had been a string of successes by the rebel Confederate Army against Union forces. The Confederates were a group of Southern States that had seceded from the United States of America over their right to continue the institution of slavery. This secession was rejected by US President Abraham Lincoln, who was committed to maintaining the Union.<br/><br/>Despite heavy Union casualties, Antietam has been called the ‘crossroads of freedom’ by historians. It played a crucial role in the release of the Emancipation Proclamation against slavery, which was described by Lincoln as ‘the great event of the 19th Century’.<br/><br/>With<br/><br/>Karen Salt , Professor of   Culture, Place and Communities at Manchester Metropolitan University<br/><br/>Susan-Mary Grant, Professor Emerita of American History at Newcastle University<br/><br/>Robert Cook, Emeritus Professor of American History at the University of Sussex.<br/><br/>Producer: Sam Peach<br/><br/>Reading List:<br/><br/>Alfred J.

Two years ago, 48% of them voted for Donald Trump, a record for a Republican presidential candidate. But with fuel prices still high, and his immigration crackdown affecting families who have lived in the US for a long time, is that support slipping away?<br/><br/>Justin and Anthony discuss the campaign in Texas, where the Senate race is becoming a fight to win over Latino voters. Trump has mocked the Democratic candidate James Talarico for being vegan (though he isn’t), and Talarico has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging his Republican rival Ken Paxton to a TV debate on Fox News.<br/><br/>Justin then talks to Mike Madrid and Chuck Rocha, the Republican and Democratic strategists behind The Latino Vote podcast. They say Latino voters are angry, mostly about the economy. Mike argues that they are drifting away from both parties rather than switching sides, and that Trump’s immigration enforcement has backfired on the Republicans. Chuck, who works for the Talarico campaign, warns Democrats against complacency: Latino voters turning against Trump might not translate into lasting support for the party.<br/><br/>HOSTS:<br/>• Justin Webb, BBC Radio 4 Presenter<br/>• Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America Correspondent<br/><br/>GUESTS:<br/>• Mike Madrid, Author of “The Latino Century: How America’s Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy”<br/>• Chuck Rocha, Democratic strategist and adviser to the James Talarico campaign<br/><br/>GET IN TOUCH:<br/>- Join our online community: <a href="https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB">https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB</a><br/>- Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480<br/>- Email Americast@bbc.co.uk<br/>- Or use #Americast<br/><br/>This episode was made by Emma Close with Nik Sindle.

Image © Sergey Krasovskiy and Pedro Salas<br/><br/>Press release<br/>UK dinosaur fossil identified as new long-clawed predator<br/>First published 14 October 2026<br/><br/>A new species of dinosaur – a long-clawed predator the size of a large tiger – has been described from a fossil originally found on the Isle of Wight and now cared for by the Natural History Museum.<br/><br/>The dinosaur, described in a new paper in the journal Royal Society Open Science, belongs to a group of agile, two-legged carnivores called megaraptorans and is the first of this group to be found in Europe.<br/><br/>Megaraptorans were closely related to tyrannosaurs including Tyrannosaurus rex but had slender heads, attacking prey with their large arms and giant curved claws instead of their jaws.<br/><br/>While some species grew to gigantic sizes, just as tyrannosaurs did, this new species is one of the smallest and earliest of the group to be found, living in the UK in the Early Cretaceous period about 120 million years ago.<br/><br/>It has been named Invictibellatrix amberina. Invictibellatrix means “unconquered female warrior” – honouring megaraptorans’ future role as massive apex predators.<br/><br/>The fossil, a chunk of the back of a skull, was acquired by the Natural History Museum in 1924 and had been overlooked for study until now.<br/><br/>Professor Paul Barrett, the study’s senior author from the Natural History Museum, says, &#34;Despite over 200 years of collecting, the Isle of Wight continues to surprise us with new dinosaur species, and finds of carnivorous dinosaurs, such as Invictibellatrix, have been particularly elusive.<br/><br/>“Work like this shows the exceptional value of working with historical museum collections where there are still many discoveries to be made.”<br/><br/>Lead author Dr Cassius Morrison (UCL Earth Sciences) explains, “Based on what we know about its closest relatives, Invictibellatrix would have been three to four metres long and just over a metre and a half in height - about as tall as a human. It would likely have had feathers and its claws might have been about 10cm to 20cm long. It would have eaten small dinosaurs, lizards and mammals – occupying a similar role in the food chain to the hyena today.<br/><br/>“It was not the apex predator of its time, but for humans this dinosaur would have been more dangerous than a T. rex. We would have been perfectly sized prey, about a third of their body weight. They definitely would have chased us. A T. rex would not have bothered, as we would have been too small.<br/><br/>“It is a real mystery that this fossil was overlooked for so long, sitting in a drawer for nearly 100 years. Lots of bones are found on the Isle of Wight – who knows what else is waiting to be discovered.”<br/><br/>Megaraptors are regarded as the most mysterious of the large, meat-eating dinosaurs, as few megaraptor fossils have been found.<br/><br/>They are thought to have originated in Asia, before migrating through Europe and becoming apex predators throughout the southern land mass of Gondwana (including present-day Africa, South America and Antarctica).<br/><br/>But until now, this theory was missing key fossil evidence, as no megaraptorans had been found in Europe.<br/><br/>Co-author Charlie Scherer, a PhD student at UCL Earth Sciences, adds, “This new species is the first proof we have that megaraptorans were also present in Europe and that they reached Gondwana this way rather than island-hopping further south.”<br/><br/>For the study, researchers undertook a CT scan of the fossil, creating a 3D model of this part of the skull as well as a model of the interior of the skull, i.e. the brain.<br/><br/>The researchers compared the fossil with skulls and brain cases from tyrannosaurs, spinosaurs, raptors and other two-legged meat-eating dinosaurs.<br/><br/>A unique combination of skull features, including an oval hole where the spinal cord entered the brain and an hour-glass-shaped crest, led researchers to conclude it was a new species.<br/><br/>Computer algorithms analysing how the traits of the skull fit in with those of other species consistently found the specimen belonged to the megaraptoran family.<br/><br/>The research team also used mathematical modelling to investigate how the spread of megaraptors around the world might have changed over time, based on fossils discovered so far, dinosaurs’ evolutionary trees, geography and climate.<br/><br/>The team concluded that megaraptors were globally widespread in the Early Cretaceous (i.e., at the time of Invictibellatrix), but by the Late Cretaceous tens of millions of years later they had likely become extinct in the giant northern landmass of Laurasia (including modern-day Europe).<br/><br/>During this later period, megaraptors became apex predators throughout Gondwana in the south, reaching gigantic sizes, with claws up to 35cm (14in) long.*<br/><br/>The study did not explain why megaraptors likely died out in the north, but this may have been a result of shifts in climate or environment, or the presence of competing predators such as other tyrannosaurs.<br/><br/>The Invictibellatrix fossil was originally found at the foot of a cliff on the south-west coast of the Isle of Wight by amateur palaeontologist Reginald Walter Tooley. It was one of more than 1,000 specimens discovered by Tooley that were acquired by the Natural History Museum after his death.<br/><br/>In the paper, the researchers said the name Invictibellatrix was intended to “give hope and strength to all those who are bullied, discriminated, victimised, and oppressed that tomorrow will be theirs and not to give up in face of such odds”. Amberina, meanwhile, refers to the amber found in the rocks where the fossil was discovered, as well as to the female name.<br/><br/>The research was funded by Palaeontographical Society, the Royal Society and UKRI.<br/><br/>*Maip macrothorax, for instance, found in what is now Argentina, was an estimated nine to 10 metres long and weighed as much as an elephant.<br/><br/>Notes to editors<br/><br/>For more information or to speak to the researchers involved, please contact Mark Greaves, UCL Media Relations <br/>E: m.greaves@ucl.ac.uk<br/><br/>“A new megaraptoran dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Wessex Formation, UK, and its implications for theropod evolution and biogeographyopens in a new window”, by Cassius D.

In 1824, the geologist and priest William Buckland (1784-1856) stood before the Geological Society of London and announced something that would kickstart two centuries of dinosaur science. He’d been studying large, fossilised bones which didn’t resemble those of any living animal - and, as he told his rapt audience at that meeting, he had a new name for this mysterious and unusual creature: Megalosaurus.<br/><br/>Misha Glenny and his guests discuss why the 19th century was such profound period of theological and scientific change, and how our understanding of mid Jurassic dinosaurs has changed since. This In Our Time episode examines the story of a dinosaur that led to palaeontology as we know it today. The discussion explores the influential roles of William and Mary Buckland, how we learn about animals from over 160 million years ago, and why you’d never have seen a Megalosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus Rex together.<br/><br/>With<br/><br/>Emily Rayfield<br/>Professor of Palaeobiology at the University of Bristol<br/><br/>Emma Nicholls<br/>Vertebrate Palaeontologist and Collections Manager at Oxford University Museum of Natural History<br/><br/>And<br/><br/>Steve Brusatte<br/>Professor of Palaeontology and Evolution at the University of Edinburgh<br/><br/>Producer: Martha Owen<br/><br/>Reading list:<br/>Deborah Cadbury, Terrible Lizard: The First Dinosaur Hunters and the Birth of a New Science (Owl Books, 2002)<br/><br/>Michael Taylor, Impossible Monsters: How the Discovery of Dinosaurs Changed the World (Bodley Head, 2024)<br/><br/>Roger B.

This relies on what’s known as the cold chain, a global network of fridges, freezers and icepacks. The chain is not only expensive to maintain, it’s incredibly vulnerable to breaking. In low- and middle- income countries, in particular, transport delays, power cuts and equipment failures often cause vaccines to spoil before they reach the people who need them.<br/><br/>An urgent quest in public health has been to find a way to stabilise vaccines, at room temperature, so that they no longer need this cold chain. This occurred to Asel Sartbaeva, during a routine visit to the GP with her newborn daughter. Originally from Kyrgyzstan and now Associate Professor of Chemistry at Bath University, Asel investigates silica-based materials. Not a typical background for someone working on vaccines, but it gave her a fresh perspective. She wasn’t focussed on changing the vaccine itself, instead, she asked a different question: could she use her knowledge silica-based materials and coat the vaccine in a protective shell that would allow it to survive at room temperature, eliminating the need for refrigeration?<br/><br/>Her solution? A perfectly tailored protective coat made silica, found in beach sand.
