'By around 2050, we reach a point where the choices we make on emissions and land use will largely determine whether Britain moves towards a much more degraded or a much more nature‑positive future.'
Call me racist, call me a misogynist, call me homophobic, call me a scammer - I'm all those things. I don't care. This is the general population of the UK right now, scattering to make comments online about me. They don't know me. They don't know my purpose.
The PAC was deeply troubled to learn that the BBC still does not know how much the government would fund the World Service for the coming year. The government provides about 30% of the budget for the World Service, which reaches more than 300 million people a week and is 'a jewel in the crown of the UK's soft power', according to the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee.
For its fifth anniversary, 'Secrets of' turns its lens to one of Earth's smallest yet most vital heroes: bees. Far more than pollinators, bees are socially complex, fast-thinking individuals and the most important insects on our planet. Their impact on the natural world and humanity is immeasurable, and we're only just beginning to see how extraordinary they truly are.
I knew where the caretaker's house was, and it's quite nearby, and also he seemed to be the last man to see them. Though, it's always possible that the last man to see missing children or missing women is the culprit. So for those two reasons, I went to knock on the door.
The key driver for introducing a new banknote series is always to increase counterfeit resilience. But it also provides an opportunity to celebrate different aspects of the UK.

Dolan lamented, 'There's nothing in the studio to throw around,' before grabbing a stack of tabloid newspapers and tossing them at the camera, saying, 'It's the Boris way.'
There are snakes living in London trees Just a short slither away from London Zoo and Camden, an estimated 40 snakes are living in the trees on Regent's Canal. Aesculapian snakes are native to continental Europe and it remains unclear how they came to be living in the heart of London. Shy and harmless to humans, the snakes play a role in the food chain, helping to keep down the numbers of rats and mice in the capital city.
Davidson, a professional photographer and owner of Glasgow-based Studio Snap, is celebrating his strongest trading year to date, with revenues up more than 70 per cent in 2025. The surge follows his memorable appearance on series two of The Traitors, which turned him into a familiar face for millions of viewers, and, unexpectedly, a powerful brand amplifier for his business.
On the face of it, the RSPB picking Ned Stark as the host of the new series of their podcast seems odd. But it turns out he's been a birder since childhood, who crams in birdwatching between acting gigs. He's warm and honest in his first podcast, chatting to fellow ornithology lover Elbow's Guy Garvey about spotting different species while working abroad, recognising bird song and the meditative joy of watching the feathered creatures.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
There are a lot of unanswered possibly unanswerable questions in the air at the moment. Questions such as what prompts a husband to drug his wife and, for a decade, invite strange men over to his house to rape her while she lies unconscious in the marital bed? Or: what kind of a person do you have to be to hang around with a convicted child sexual offender and billionaire who is exercising his perversions in plain sight,
The BBC has been reviewing what happened at Bafta on Sunday evening. This was a serious mistake and the director-general has instructed the Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) to complete a fast-tracked investigation and provide a full response to complainants.
BBC director-general Tim Davie said the BBC "profoundly regrets" the inclusion of the N-word in the broadcast of this year's BAFTAs, which he characterized as unintentional and the result of a "genuine error." Davie claims that no one in the on-site broadcast truck heard John Davidson, the activist with Tourette's, shout a racial slur while Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were onstage during the February 22 awards ceremony.
While women outnumbered men in terms of presenters under 50, men significantly outnumbered women among the over-50s with 237 women to 394 men. It found there are nearly four times as many male presenters over 60 as female in the BBC's content division, which makes programmes.

Within the nations and the English regions division, there were between three and four times as many older men as female presenters.
"On that bleak hill-top the earth was hard with a black frost, and the air made me shiver through every limb," so wrote Emily Brontë. In a story studded with untameable lust, unbreakable love, fierce tempers and shocking acts of revenge, perhaps the most faithful aspect of Emerald Fennell's latest film, "Wuthering Heights", to its 1847 novel is the tempestuous depiction of the remote English countryside. The Yorkshire moors, to be exact.
We do want reform, he said. We do want reform of the licence fee. However, we're not just about driving the amount we get from households higher. My biggest fears are that we just roll on and think it's going to be OK. We don't reform enough. At that point, we don't get regulatory reform and more flexibility. That's my biggest worry. And I think, if we don't do that, we're in trouble.
