@chesterhealth @Go_CheshireWest Here here. The exit traffic lights don't feel safe for all. Slightly further down would be better.

All snow melted in Scotland by August 6th this year, the earliest on record by over two weeks. This graphic helps to explain the reason why.

Full melting used to be exceptional up until the early 2000s. Now survivals are becoming the exception, a 180° turn in almost no time.

The #CunliffeReview dropped today, proposing a major overhaul of water regulation in the UK.

But there's a glaring omission.
The review recommends new regional water system planning authorities, several in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, one in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

But what about the Dee, which crosses the border?

This invasive species is causing havoc to ecosystems in Norway.

Due to the way it breeds it returns to rivers every two years. This is one of their breeding years.

A female was caught on the Dee a couple of years ago.

Is it hot right now in the UK?

New interactive website allowing anyone to explore live temperatures hour-by-hour across the UK, and whether they are cool, warm or hot relative to normal.

Planting trees along riverbanks serves multiple purposes. They naturally purify water, limiting pollutants and sediment from entering waterways. Their roots anchor the soil, curbing erosion, bolster ecosystem health and support biodiversity. #Nature #Ecosystem

While everyone is distracted, here is how Trump proposed to take half of all the mineral wealth of Ukraine. Before the negotiations with Putin. No country has tried anything on this scale since the Treaty of Versailles - and those reparations were taken from enemies not allies.

Ironically, the U.S. reduction in foreign aid (soft power), military support, global presence, and tariff policies will only strengthen China’s position as a global power by filling the void.

"don't overdo it Steve". Incredibly brave journalism from Steve Rosenberg in recent years.

“What wretched question have you prepared?” My surreal Q&A with Alexander Lukashenko last Sunday. He claimed his opponents had “chosen” prison or exile (in reality the authorities had chosen to target them.) Thanks @LizaShuvalova @AntonChicherov

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

I asked Alexander Lukashenko: “How can you call this a democratic election when your main rivals are in prison or in exile?” Our report from Minsk. Producer @LizaShuvalova Camera @AntonChicherov

Take it from the guy who buys more power than anyone else in the country: green energy is cheaper than fossil fuels.

To get those savings onto people’s bills, we need market reform. @g__j #bbcqt @bbcquestiontime

The short duration rainfall totals near Valencia last week are jaw dropping. More than double previous national records.

We need to completely reassess what we consider worst case flooding is. Because history is no guide.

If conservationists can opt out of parts of the Wildlife & Countryside Act that don’t suit them, and laugh about it, then why shouldn’t gamekeepers do exactly the same thing? This is important, hard-won legislation. Ignore it if you wish. But expect others to do the same.
