One export which Britain is still dominating the market in - illegally poached falcons, sold to wealthy Emiratis to be driven around in supercars and used for racing. Fascinating piece

In the 1960s, the Swiss had some of the dirtiest water in Europe. Now, their cities boast pristine rivers and lakes – and other countries are looking to follow their lead (but not the UK...).
