- Bank of England - the new banknote image printed with King Charles III will be released before the end of this year, and is expected to enter the circulation field by mid-2024
- Royal Mint - the details of Charles III's new coin will be released in the next few weeks. By tradition, the image of the new monarch on the coins is in the opposite direction to his predecessor. But the date for entering the circulation field has not been determined.
However, existing banknotes and coins will continue to be valid, and Charles and Elizabeth banknotes and coins can be used at the same time.

A spokesperson for the Cabinet Office said when talking about replacing the icons and avatars of the late Queen Elizabeth II: "In places where changes can be made relatively easily, such as digital brands, they can be carried out immediately. However, physical projects such as signs or stationery will be gradually replaced as time goes by."
The death of the queen means the arrival of a new era, and everyday items such as English stamps, coins and banknotes will change as a result, which may even take years or even decades.

NASA performs the first human
planetary defense mission
What should I do if the planet is about to hit the earth!
Is it feasible to use a spacecraft to change the planet's trajectory?
Now, NASA makes the plot of the movie happen!
After 10 months of space flight, NASA NASA performed human first planetary defense mission in the "Dual Asteroid Redirection Test" DART mission. At 19:14 pm Eastern Time on September 27, successfully used a spacecraft to hit its asteroid target .
Image source NASA
DART spacecraft is worth approximately US$325 million and was launched into orbit by the SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket on November 23, 2022. As part of NASA's overall planetary defense strategy, the DART mission hopes that determines whether the impact of the spacecraft will deflect the asteroid in the process of potential impact on Earth .
In this successful collision with the asteroid Dimorphos, DART demonstrated a viable "mitigation technique" to protect the earth from the influence of asteroids flying toward the earth or the comet .

In this mission, DART aimed at the asteroid Dimorphos3 at a speed of 22,500 kilometers per hour - a small body with a diameter of about 530 feet (160 meters) and orbiting asteroid Didymos with about 2,560 feet (780 meters).

Since neither of the two asteroids pose a threat to Earth's security at present , this mission is that NASA guides the spacecraft to deliberately collide with the asteroid and deviate it under the conditions of kinetic energy impact to complete the impact mission. The results of the
impact are obvious, and the investigation team will now use a ground telescope to observe the orbital changes of Dimorphos. Researchers are expected to shorten Dimorphos' orbit by about 1%, or reduce the time by about 10 minutes; precise measurement of the degree to which the asteroid is deflected is one of the main purposes of this comprehensive test.
NASA's director of the Planetary Science Department said: "We are opening a new era for mankind."
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said: "DART represents an unprecedented success in planetary defense, which is good for all humanity. While NASA is studying the universe and the earth, we are also working to protect this homeland. This international cooperation turns science fiction into scientific facts and demonstrates a way to protect the earth."

Some Conservative Party members have submitted
Distrust of Trust in Tras
British Prime Minister Tras Liz Truss has just taken office for three weeks
There is a prelude to "packing things and leaving"!
According to iNews, Conservative MPs who are dissatisfied with Tras are planning to launch a motion of distrust against her in the upcoming House of Commons vote. And several backbenchers have sent distrust trust to the Chairman of the 1922 Committee.
Image sourceiNews
part of the reason is the Tax Reduction Plan by Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng.
The plan has been controversial since its launch because "only the richest people benefit" and the plunge crisis triggered on September 26 has further aggravated concerns among Conservative MPs that the party may lose votes for the "red wall" (including voters in Central England, Yorkshire and North England long-standing support for Labor) seats in the next election.
It is reported that Kwasi Kwarteng has held an online meeting with the Conservatives in the back seat to try to explain his tax cuts.

Another key reason that triggered a motion of distrust may be "Tras government failed to communicate effectively with colleagues, preventing them from standing together" .
Although the scale of distrust has not reached the point where it can pose a "major threat" to Tras, the potential "number of rebels is unknown."
A member of the lawmaker said that the plan to restart hydraulic fracturing and exploit shale gas has hardly mentioned the details of opposition about the local community, which subconsciously means that the two sides may not communicate effectively. Therefore, it is not known whether any other Conservative MPs will vote for distrust.

Backbench MP Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown said he believed the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had six months to prove that their new economic strategy was effective. It added that "regardless of how many letters there are, according to the current rules of the committee, a vote of distrust cannot be raised against the new prime minister within 12 months" .
Meanwhile, MPs who supported former Chancellor Rishi Sunak in leadership elections are happily sharing articles that predicted earlier errors in Tras' policy and that the pound will plummet.

pound rebounded slightly in early trading on September 27, but continued to hover around unprecedented lows.
People are skeptical about whether these policies will stimulate the economic growth promised by Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng. Some people say: "They have lost control of the British economy. For what? To reduce taxes to the wealthiest percent of our society" .
Bank of England said it would "raise interest rates without hesitation" . In a cautiously worded statement, there will be no early action, but a sharp rate hike in response to soaring inflation at a bank supervisor meeting next month was almost certain.

Labour poll won the
biggest lead against the Conservative Party in 21 years

Only 19% of people believe that the government is fair to propose this measure.

After the Labour Party won a phased victory in the polls, Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer also seemed "more confident" in his speech. He promised to "get out of this endless cycle of crisis" and "The Labour Party that makes changes can turn Britain into a growth superpower" .
At the Labor Party Congress in Liverpool , Labour believes that the Green Energy Program will create one million new jobs in towns across the country, while reducing energy costs and improving living standards. And is ready to regain power from the Conservative Party that has been in power for 12 years and form the next government .
