It's a great learning experience for him and he gets the opportunity of learning how to beat the Kiwis, which is important, Jones told sky Sports HQ. He's a very analytical coach, a very serious coach and he knows more about line- outs than anyone in the world.

John Key Resigns As Prime Minister

Prime Minister John Key has resigned from his position and will step down next week.

Just before midday the Prime Minister's office announced that they will hold a special news conference at 12.00 pm. There, Mr Key will announce he'll resign, saying it was the hardest decision he ever made. To me, this feels like the right time to go.

Mr Key's resignation means that the National Party will now need to elect a new leader. John Key has been in Parliament for 10 years and has been Prime Minister for 8 years.

Greens call for landlords to stop charging quake-displaced renters

The Green Party is urging landlords of quake stricken buildings to stop charging rent to residents who have been displaced due to the Kaikoura earthquake.

Link:

Many inner-city apartment buildings in Wellington have been forced to close following the earthquake, leaving residents without a home. Green Party co- leader James Shaw says continuing to charge rent would be unfair on tenants. I think any landlord should study their creed - if they're still charging rent to residents who can't actually live in the houses or apartment buildings that they've got on offer. They should take a look at that and say, maybe we could give people a break right now, "he said.

Jupiter's Moon Spewing Water Jets

New evidence has shown that Jupiter's icy moon Europa throws jets of water out into space.

Scientist first reported the behaviour in 2013 using the Hubble telescope but may have now made a follow-up sighting. It is significant because Europa is one of the most likely places to find microbial life beyond Earth because of its big ocean of liquid water. Fly through the jets with an instrumented spacecraft would be an effective way to test the possibility.

Bus that Drives over Traffic Jams

 A Beijing company has revealed a design for a bus capable of gliding over cars. The bus is named the Transit Explore Bus or TEB. The straddling bus is supported by two legs that run along rails laid along the roadside. Those legs allow the TEB's giant frame to glide high above the gridlock at a speed of up to 60km. Equally vehicles that are less than two meters high will be able to drive freely underneath the bus even when it's stationary. Plus, the buses are able to take 1,400 people at a time. Maybe Auckland needs one of these.

Hubble telescope finds new moon

The Hubble space telescope has found a tiny moon circling the dwarf planet Makemake.

Makemake is only 1300km wide , much smaller than planet Earth and its lately discovered moon is just 160km across.
The team who found the moon says was hard to spot because of how bright Makemake is.

The small planet is part of the Kuiper belt, an area past Neptune that also enclose Pluto.
Makemake was before thought not to have a moon unlike the other dwarf planets near it. Now it's no longer the odd one out.

For the time being, NASA has called the new moon MK2. Hopefully it will be given a more important name in the future.
