Gatwick second runway
The government has signalled that plans to bring a second runway at Gatwick into regular use will get the green light if environmental conditions are met. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said she was “minded to approve” the airport’s plans, but the deadline for a decision has now been pushed back until the end of October. The main stumbling blocks facing Gatwick’s proposals are related to its provisions for noise prevention and public transport. The Planning Inspectorate had made recommendations in those two areas after initially rejecting the scheme. The airport welcomed the government’s statement but did not say whether it […]Read more...

UK: International Development
International Development Minister Anneliese Dodds has resigned over the prime minister’s cuts to the aid budget. In a letter to the prime minister, Dodds said the cuts to international aid, announced earlier this week to fund an increase in defence spending, would “remove food and healthcare from desperate people – deeply harming the UK’s reputation”. She told Sir Keir Starmer she had delayed her resignation until after his meeting with President Trump, saying it was “imperative that you had a united cabinet behind you as you set off for Washington”. The MP said it was with “sadness” that she was […]Read more...

The ‘hero’ ship
A ship the size of a football field, crewed by more than 50 engineers and technicians, cruises the oceans around Africa to keep the continent online. It provides a vital service, as last year’s internet blackout showed when internet cables buried deep under the sea were damaged. Millions from Lagos to Nairobi were plunged into digital darkness: messaging apps crashed and banking transactions failed. It left businesses and individuals struggling. It was the Léon Thévenin which fixed the multiple cable failures. The ship, where a BBC team recently spent a week on board off the coast of Ghana, has been […]Read more...

‘They took all
Warning: This article contains distressing content, including descriptions of rape, from the start. “He told me that if I tried to escape, he would kill me.” Pascaline, 22, recalls the words of her rapist at a prison in Goma, the largest city in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, in the early hours of 27 January. “I was forced to let it happen instead of losing my life,” Pascaline tells the BBC. He was the second man to rape her at Munzenze prison. The first attack was so violent that she passed out. Her attackers came over the wall from the […]Read more...

‘People will starve’
The freezing of US humanitarian assistance has forced the closure of almost 80% of the emergency food kitchens set up to help people left destitute by Sudan’s civil war, the BBC has learned. Aid volunteers said the impact of President Donald Trump’s executive order halting contributions from the US government’s development organisation (USAID) for 90 days meant more than 1,100 communal kitchens had shut. It is estimated that nearly two million people struggling to survive have been affected. The conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has killed tens of thousands of people, forced millions from their […]Read more...

The Kenyans saying
For as long as Nelly Naisula Sironka can remember she has never wanted children – and with one irreversible decision the 28-year-old Kenyan has ensured she never will get pregnant. Last October, she took the definitive step of undergoing a sterilisation procedure known as tubal ligation – permanently closing the door on motherhood. “I feel liberated,” theorganisational development expert tells the BBC, adding that it has ensured her future is now entirely her own. The operation prevents pregnancy by blocking a woman’s fallopian tubes and is sometimes referred to as “getting your tubes tied”. Between 2020 and 2023, roughly 16,000 […]Read more...

Victims of second
Victims of ‘Capture’, a second faulty Post Office accounting system, say their redress scheme may not be in place until the autumn. Former sub-postmasters and their relatives met with government representatives for an update on compensation. While lawyers describe “positive steps”, some victims have told Sky News that they are disappointed with the timescale and described coming up against the “grinding wheels of bureaucracy”. Capture software was an accounting system rolled out in Post Office branches between 1992 and 1999 and was likely to have caused false shortfalls. It was the predecessor to Horizon, which led to hundreds of sub-postmasters being wrongly […]Read more...

Operations have continued for the seventh day to rescue several workers who remained trapped in a partially collapsed tunnel in southern India. More heavy equipment has been deployed to hasten the search as India’s South Central Railway announced on Friday that its rescue team had joined the mission to locate the trapped workers in the town of Nagarkurnool in Telangana state.

Dozens arrested in
At least 25 arrests have been made during a worldwide operation against child abuse images generated by artificial intelligence (AI), the European Union’s law enforcement organisation Europol has said. The suspects were part of a criminal group whose members engaged in distributing fully AI-generated images of minors, according to the agency. The operation is one of the first involving such child sexual abuse material (CSAM), Europol says. The lack of national legislation against these crimes made it “exceptionally challenging for investigators”, it added. Arrests were made simultaneously on Wednesday 26 February during Operation Cumberland, led by Danish law enforcement, a […]Read more...

Mount Vesuvius eruption
A man’s brain was partly turned into glass after Mount Vesuvius erupted. Researchers discovered dark fragments resembling obsidian in the skull of a man in the ancient settlement of Herculaneum. Along with Pompeii, the ancient settlement was obliterated in 79AD when the volcano erupted, killing thousands and burying both under a thick layer of volcanic material and mud – preserving them in excellent condition for future archaeologists. The man was first discovered in the 1960s inside a building called the College of the Augustales, which was dedicated to the cult of Emperor Augustus. He is thought to have been the […]Read more...
