An ancient Greek computer more than 1000 years ahead of its time was able to accurately predict the motions of planets and stars, even when they would appear to move backwards across the sky, new research has found.

The Antikythera Mechanism was discovered in a shipwreck off the coast of Greece early in the 20th century. Archaeologists immediately suspected it was some kind of astronomical clock, but figured it was probably renaissance in origin due to its complexity.

Britain has declared that China is now in “a state of ongoing non-compliance” with the 1984 Sino-British joint declaration, which was supposed to guarantee Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy after the territory returned to Beijing’s control in 1997.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta and her Australian counterpart Marise Payne have released a joint statement saying they are "deeply concerned" about China making "significant" changes to Hong Kong's electoral system.

The Chinese National People's Congress on Thursday voted near-unanimously to make several changes to Hong Kong's electoral system which critics say undermine the autonomy promised to the territory in 1997 when it was transferred from Britain to China under the 'one country, two systems' model.
