Episode description
Tyson Fury has come back to reality with a thud, going from the adrenaline rush
of beating Dillian Whyte at a packed Wembley, to taking out the bins.
A group of Just Stop Oil protesters are expected to be arrested today after
breaching an injunction by standing in front of an oil terminal holding placards
saying 'dangerous radicals' and 'if only they listened to petitions'.
Britain could soon approve its first new coal mine in decades as it tries to reduce
reliance on Russian imports. Levelling Up secretary Michael Gove is reportedly
preparing to give the thumbs up to a new colliery in Cumbria despite opposition
from climate campaigners.
Fracking has transformed America from being a net energy importer, reliant on
supplies from often unstable countries, to a net exporter. Natural gas produces
fewer carbon emissions than oil and coal, so it’s ‘greener’ and less polluting than
they are.Nevertheless, it’s still a fossil fuel — and thus, according to
environmental activists, should stay in the ground.
Two graffiti artists who were killed by an oncoming train while tagging a Brooklyn
subway station have been identified as famous French artists Pierre Audebert
and Julien Blanc.
