Many in the UK who unwrapped a new drone this Christmas may face a rude awakening next week, when they will have to take a theory test before being allowed to fly outdoors. From 1 January, those intending to fly drones or model aircraft weighing 100g or more outside must complete a Civil Aviation Authority (CCA) online theory test to get a Flyer ID - something previously only needed for heavier drones. The regulator believes up to half a million people in the UK may be impacted by its new requirements.

With the new drone rules coming into force this week, all drone users must register, get a Flyer ID and follow the regulations, he said.

Every year participants wear military-style costumes and stage a fake coup using eggs, flour and firecrackers.

What's happening in Myanmar's civil war as military holds elections? Voters in parts of Myanmar are heading to the polls on Sunday for an election that critics view as a bid by the country's generals to legitimise military rule, nearly five years after they overthrew the government of Nobel Laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
