A wooden ladder has stood outside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem for centuries, apparently unused. Because the church's administration was divided among several religions and denominations in 1767, no one today knows who would be entitled to remove it, so it remains in place as an enduring symbol of the site's delicate shared custody.

France has decided to develop a next-generation combat aircraft on its own, after the joint Future Combat Air System programme with Germany and Spain collapsed earlier this year.

During World War II the British Royal Navy experimented with building an aircraft carrier from pykrete, ice reinforced with wood pulp. Researchers led by a team at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have now extended that 1940s concept by adding plant-based crystals to the material, reviving interest in reinforced-ice construction.

A federal appeals court has blocked California's 'No Vigilantes Act', a state law that would have required immigration agents to identify themselves and show credentials while conducting enforcement operations. The Ninth Circuit's decision prevents the law from taking effect for now, in a fresh clash between California and the federal government over immigration enforcement powers and limits on masked, unmarked federal agents.
