We've all been there. You're busy tucking into a burrito or a wrap, and the tomato slices slide out of the other side, the meat falls out onto the table and the mayonnaise drips onto your fingers... But now, a group of engineering students have found the ultimate solution: a kind of edible sticking plaster that stops all the contents of your sandwich from sliding out.

What if kebabs, wraps and burritos could be simply taped shut so that the contents of your sandwich stay put? You could finally enjoy all the ingredients in every bite -- and mess-free! That's exactly the thinking behind a new concept developed by a group of engineering students at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland, USA. They're come up with a kind of edible sticking plaster that can be consumed with no risk to health.

Their innovation measures just five centimeters by a little over one centimeter. The adhesive effectively melts in your mouth and is able to hold in place any kind of sandwich that's supposed to stay rolled up as you eat it. The students are currently in the process of filing a patent to protect their creation, which means that they aren't yet giving away too many details about how their burrito tape is made. Still, one of the designers has assured that its ingredients are safe to consume.

The students have disclosed that this tape, which goes by the name of Tastee Tape , is made from a "food-grade fibrous backbone and an organic adhesive." The students used burritos as a baseline to test whether their invention really worked. Their multiple tests involved finding the right ingredients that would allow the adhesive to stretch sufficiently without ripping, while also being strong enough to keep the burrito held closed. The tape becomes sticky when moistened. Then, all you have to do is stick it on your sandwich and enjoy your lunch. Bon appétit!

Roof timbers splintered and windows shattered, sending shards of glass hurtling above three sleeping children into the opposite wall. It was around 2 a.m. and Iryna Martsyniuk had stayed up late watching a video on her computer while her children slept. It wasn’t the first time the Ukrainian village of Velyka Kostromka, just a few kilometers (miles) from the southern front line in the war in Ukraine, was being hit.

Ashwin picked up 1-28 with his off-spin before smashing an unbeaten 23-ball 40 as Rajasthan chased down 151 with five wickets in hand and two balls to spare. The 35-year-old, who has been used as a floater this season, came in at number 5 against his old franchise and was severe on the spinners, hitting three sixes in a tricky run chase that initially threatened to get away from Rajasthan. Ashwin said his form with the bat was down to a clear brief from the team.

It was only fitting that some of the best Dota of the Major thus far was played in front of the returning crowd.

The leaders of Japan, India, Australia and the United States meet in Tokyo next week seeking common ground on countering China, despite differences over Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The war with Russia has been particularly painful for Odessa, even as the city has avoided the brutal ground fighting ongoing across swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine. Founded during the reign of Catherine the Great, the city -- with its baroque architecture and sandy beaches -- became emblematic of the glory days of the Russian empire and was later one of the most valuable ports during the Soviet era. And as Ukraine gained independence, Odessa maintained its deep economic, familial, and cultural ties with Russia along with its own share of accusations in recent years of harbouring pro-Kremlin sympathies. But the sentiment has changed now. "Putin and his regime, with their own hands, destroyed our relationship as a whole," says Odessa mayor Gennady Trukhanov, who was once regarded as a Kremlin sympathizer.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia must be held financially responsible for the crimes it has committed in his evening adress. He adds that the global debate has already begun about the need for such compensation from Russian assets.

French President Emmanuel Macron is to reshuffle his government on Friday ahead of parliamentary elections next month, which could include changes at the heavyweight foreign and defence ministries.

Here are the latest developments in the war in Ukraine:

A health rule imposed at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic that has blocked most asylum seekers at the US border with Mexico must stay in place, a judge ruled Friday.

Any alternative to Ukraine's bid to join the European Union would be a "compromise" with Russia, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says in response to the "European political community" project proposed by his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

US President Joe Biden and South Korea's new President Yoon Suk-yeol signalled Saturday an expanded military presence in response to the "threat" from North Korea, while also offering to help the isolated regime face a Covid-19 outbreak.

Several cases of monkeypox have been detected in North America and Europe since early May, sparking concern that the disease, endemic in parts of Africa, is spreading.

Located in one of the largest and poorest favelas of Rio de Janeiro, the community garden in Manguinhos is considered the biggest in Latin America. The first seed was planted in late 2013 on a parcel of land known then as "crackolandia" because it was home to so many drug addicts. These days the garden feeds hundreds of families a month with produce that is pesticide free and affordable.

Women presenters on Afghanistan's leading TV channels went on air Saturday without covering their faces, defying a Taliban order that they conceal their appearance to comply with the group's austere brand of Islam.

The US special envoy on Afghanistan met with the Taliban's chief diplomat on Saturday and stressed international opposition to the group's treatment of women and girls.
