According to the description on
YouTube, a cryptic message from the
past sends 007 (Daniel Craig) on a rogue
mission that leads him to uncover the
existence of a sinister organization
known as SPECTRE. When the new
head of the Centre for National Security
(Andrew Scott) challenges the relevance
of MI6, Bond must covertly enlist the
assistance of Moneypenny (Naomie
Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help
untangle the web that is SPECTRE.
The previous trailers for Sam Mendes’
“Spectre,” which may be his final Bond
film, gave fans a look at Christoph
Waltz’s Oberhauser, the appearance
of Mr. White from “Casino Royale,” and
some snowy mountain action.
On Tuesday, USA Today debuted new
photos and details about the women
of “Spectre.” There’s Monica Bellucci’s
Lucia Sciarra, an Italian widow of a
Mafioso, Léa Seydoux’s Madeleine
Swann, an assassin’s daughter who
meets Bond at her Austrian clinic, and
Stephanie Sigman’s Estrella, a character
being kept under wraps.
“Spectre” opens in the U.S. on Nov. 6.

Everyday delivery moves one step closer as
Federal Aviation Authority-approved drone
successfully deposits medicine to rural
health clinic

“Proving that unmanned aircraft can deliver lifesaving
medicines is an important step toward a future where
unmanned aircraft make routine autonomous deliveries of
your everyday purchases,” said Flirtey chief executive Matt
Sweeny in a statement.

revision by the FAA, seeking to enable safe but regulated
commercial drone flights. But the proliferation of cheap
and readily available drones for personal use has left the
law outdated and has caused several near-misses with
commercial aircraft.

The first US government-approved drone delivery has
successfully transported 4.5kg of medical supplies to a
rural health clinic.

The test is being hailed as proof that drones can be useful
in a delivery scenario, particularly in rural and remote areas
that are hard to reach via ground vehicles. But the range
and flight time of drones means that opportunities are
limited.

Current UK legislation dictates that drones cannot be flown
within 50m of a building or a person or within 150 metres
of a built-up area. The maximum flight height is also only
400 feet, while the drone has to remain in line of sight
and within 500 metres of the pilot, which has restricted
attempts to use drones for delivery or surveillance
purposes.

The drone, made by Australian drone manufacturer Flirtey,
took part in the demonstration, which was approved by
the Federal Aviation Authority, in partnership with Nasa
on Friday.
The Flirtey drone made three three-minute flights from
Lonesome Pine Airport, Virginia, to the clinic at the Wise
County Fairgrounds, carrying 24 medical packages.
