It was famously home to the Wombles, but Wimbledon Common now has an even more unusual resident, scientists have discovered.

A single specimen of the globally rare false click beetle has been discovered in the 1,140-acre green space in south-west London, the first ever seen in the capital.

And like the pointy-nosed “wombling free” creatures that starred in the cult 1970s children’s TV series, the insect is known for its environmental credentials.

New arrival of endangered tiger

A male tiger has arrived at a zoo amid hopes he will father cubs to boost the critically endangered species.

Sumatran tiger Jambi is settling into his new home at Edinburgh Zoo having arrived from the Berlin Tier Park in Germany. He is intended as a partner for the zoo’s female tiger Baginda and the pair are currently living next door to each other.

The Sumatran tiger is a sub-species of tiger found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra where it is estimated that fewer than 400 of them are left in the wild.

Code machine under the hammer

A rare surviving example of an Enigma machine, used by the German military to send coded messages during the Second World War, is expected to fetch £70,000 at auction.

The machines were vital to the Nazi war effort but the Allies broke the codes – a feat said to have shortened the war by several years.

The work done to crack the codes by Alan Turing and fellow code-breakers at Bletchley Park was immortalised in the Benedict Cumberbatch film The Imitation Game.

Fast food change for the Pope

With a vast crowd waiting and a temporary altar, Pope Francis needed a place to change before saying Mass in Bolivia – and the closest place at hand was a Burger King.

So the famously unpretentious pontiff used the fast food restaurant before walking to the altar to address hundreds of thousands of pilgrims in Christ the Redeemer Square in Santa Cruz.

The restaurant was closed for business due to the Mass, in which the Pope denounced consumerism.

Free Wi-Fi at summit of Mount Fuji

Climbers who reach the summit of Mount Fuji will be able to share their achievement via free Wi-Fi.

A Japanese mobile network said there will be eight hotspots on Japan’s most famous mountain, including the 12,389ft (3,776m) summit. The initiative is aimed at attracting more overseas visitors to Shizuoka and Yamanashi, the two states that are home to Mount Fuji. From airports to subway and bus operators, Japan has been expanding free Wi-Fi ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Users on Mount Fuji will need to enter a user ID and password provided in fliers in English, Chinese and Korean that will be distributed at some trailheads. NTT Docomo will provide the service for 72 hours from the initial log-in.

KKK dismay at clean-up refusal

A US court is deciding whether the state of Georgia violated a Ku Klux Klan group’s constitutional rights – by refusing to allow it to take part in a road clean-up programme.

The Georgia KKK group’s application for a volunteer road cleaning programme was denied in 2012. In an unlikely move, the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation sued on the group’s behalf, saying its right to free speech was violated.

In November, a judge ruled in the organisation’s favour, saying the state gave the KKK scrutiny not applied to other groups and that it could help clean up a stretch of highway.

The Georgia Court of Appeals will issue a decision in the coming months.
