A small island in the Bay of Bengal, who for years cost the subject of a regional challenge between India and Bangladesh, gone away below the waves, say Indian scientists.
The abandoned soil southern of the river Hariabhanga was known to Indians as New Moore Island, while the Bangladeshis Talpatti called South Island.
New satellite images record that the whole island is below water, according to the School of Oceanographic Reports in Calcutta.
Scientists add that other nearby islands could also vanish as the rising sea level.
Swallowed by the ocean
The Noticiero correspondent in New Delhi, Mick Me describes that there was never a lasting settlement on the island now defunct, which-even in its heyday, was never more than 2 meters above sea level.
In the old times, however, the regional contravention led to the dispatch of Indian Naval Forces ships and the temporal deployment of a contingent of Border Security Forces of that nation.
"What these two countries could not achieve after years of talks has been solved by global warming," said Prof Sugata Hazra, School of Oceanographic Studies of Jadavpur University in Calcutta.
Whoever wants to travel to her now, he said, need to resolve what to do in a submarine.


Professor Hazra told that their studies indicate that water levels in this part of the Bay of Bengal have risen much quicker in the last decade than they had in the previous 15 years.


He predicts that within the next decade other islands in the Sundarbans delta area will continue to New Moore, or Talpatti South, beneath the waves.


"We will increasingly displaced persons in the Sunderbans as more surface is submerged islands," the scientist.
As Well in Mexico


A similar case happened with an island in the Gulf of Mexico that is described in cartographical documents of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.


Red Island is seen in different maps of the time, though not always in the same place, and in later hundreds there have been several sightings.


The island could change the limits of the territorial waters of Mexico in an area rich in oil.


However, never been able to make the exact position of the island, or affirm their existence and, if in fact existed, as was that disappeared.

Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa, Secretary of State and U.S., Hillary Clinton, on Tuesday reaffirmed the divided up responsibility of their countries in battling the organized crime and drug trafficking, after the festivity in Mexico City for a encounter of Upper Level Group of the Merida Initiative.
Hillary C. said in a joint conference with her Mexican counterpart that her country assumes responsibility for its part in the drug war and recognized that the demand for drugs in the United States and illicit trafficking of weapons fire wildness of the cartels in Mexico.
"We know the demand for drugs and weapons purchases made to facilitate the violence in Mexico," said Clinton.


The U.S. Secretary of State also said that her country supports "strongly bold campaign launched by Mexican President Felipe Calderón, in the fight against drug traffickers, and recognized the sacrifice of the men and women of the armed forces and police forces.
She as well thanked the support of Mexico after ten days ago killing three people, including 2 U.S. nationals-linked to the United States consulate in Ciudad Juarez.
"Our hearts are broken by the murders in Juarez," said Clinton, adding: "The posters are bringing the war to civil society and it threatens economic evolution.
Hillary traveled to Mexico followed by a group of protection officers senior administration of Barack Obama, among which are the Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano.

Scientists have created the first device to make an invisible object in three dimensions.
The "mantle", whose details are published in the journal Science, can hide an object using light with a wavelength close to that of light visible to mankind.
The aircraft had been previously developed to hide objects of light traveling in the same direction, but from any other angle the object remained visible to humans.
Now managed to make the invisible object in three dimensions
Scientists  express Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, this is an initial but important step to humanity  toward true invisibility cloaks.
According to the Noticiero said Professor Tolga Ergin, who led the study, the mantle is based on the concept that it is possible to "transform" the space with a material.
Profesor Tolga Ergin and his crew designed a photonic metamaterial that can influence the behavior of light rays.
"You can think of any type of processing you want to perform and create a material that simulates the transformation," explains the scientist.
The base design was proposed by Professor John Pendry of Imperial College London, who also participated in the study.
"He proposed the theoretical design of an object hidden behind a package and have that lump go away," explains Professor Ergin.
"It's like a carpet in a mirror. When you hide an object under a package and it appears in the mirror and see a distortion in the reflected image," he says.
"If we put the mantle on the lump it does bend light so that the distortion disappears. And you have the impression that you are seeing is a mirror plane," he adds.
Bypass light
The strategy, he adds the scientist, is to change the speed and direction in which light travels through the material, or change the refractive index of the material.
The researchers managed to do this using a polymer made of tiny glass rods.
"By changing the thickness of the rods can be changed by the air ratio polymer" explains Dr. Ergin.

 The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, said U.S. and Israel is unbreakable ties yet, despite the friction arising from the issue of Jewish settlements. However, he noted that both Israel and the Palestinians must show their commitment to the peace process.


      Last week, USA vice president, Joe Biden, has condemned an Israeli plan to build more houses in the settlements, the government announcement of Biden as Benjamin Netanyahu visited the country.


      The issue raised tensions in Jerusalem, where on Tuesday there were violent clashes between Israeli and the Palestinians police.


      Clinton said that among nations always had disagreements and, in the case of U.S. and the Israel had already expressed their displeasure.


      "We do not agree at all with any of our international partners. And with respect to the announcement that was made when Vice President Joe Biden was there in Jerusalem we expressed our dismay and disappointment".


      Demands to Israel


      The Middle East special envoy for the USA , George Mitchell, postponed his visit to the region Tuesday as part of the growing tensions between Washington and the government of Israel on Jewish settlements.


      Mitchell had agreed a meeting with President of Israel Shimon Peres to discuss issues related to peace talks with the Palestinians.


      Hillary Clinton said that Senator Mitchell would return to the region.


      "We are committed to achieving a two state solution ... That's the goal. But I think we'll see what happens in the coming weeks, and we are very interested in Senator Mitchell's return to the region and the proximity talks begin .


      The Noticiero correspondent in Jerusalem, Petter Sams, says the United States has expressed confidence that the indirect talks between Israelis and Palestinians are carried out.


      However, before George Mitchell appears, USA wants to hear Israel's formal response to a series of demands put to him last Friday.


      Sign in these is the cancellation of plans to build 1.600 new homes in disputed territory in East Jerusalem.


      For his part, Netanyahu has rejected the imposition of limits on the expansion of settlements, saying his government has every right to build in those areas.


      Between a Rock and a Hard


      The Noticiero correspondent says that Israeli Prime Minister is caught between a rock and a hard place.


      If Netanyahu gives budge, would face the right wing of his government and his credibility would be questioned. But if they make concessions, it would be very hard to see how the peace talks, backed by USA power and prestige-can take place.


      The lack of progress in negotiations is a factor that has ignited the feeling in the Palestinian villages, one is called by some officials that the people defending the Haram al-Sharif or Temple Mount.


      On Tuesday, hundreds of them clashed with Israeli police in East Jerusalem in protest against the new Jewish settlements and the reopening of a synagogue.


      Palestinians threw stones and burned tires while police responded with stun grenades as the disturbances spread to different parts.


      "Day of Wrath"


      Violence flared in several areas, including


      Shu'fat refugee camp, Qalandia, Wadi al-Juozas, al-Eisaweyah, Silwan, Ras al-Amud and near the al-Aqsa mosque.


      Israeli police reported that 5,000 troops had been deployed throughout the city to control the situation.


      The reopening of the synagogue, which according Hurva was destroyed in the Israeli bombing of the Jordanian forces for more than six decades, has also inflamed tensions


      The Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Tuesday a "day of rage" against the measure.


      Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Fatah movement of President of the Palestinian National Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, declared: "The synagogue will be the prelude to violence and extremist religious fanaticism."
