TV can help to save the world

TV can help to save the world

Published by Daniella Wilson

The planet is in trouble, and television can help to save it. That’s why 12 leading broadcasters from the UK and Ireland – including BBC, Channel 4, ITV and Sky – signed the Climate Content Pledge at COP26. It’s a commitment to show on screen just what tackling the climate crisis means; to inspire viewers and inform them about sustainable choices. As the Head of Climate Content at screen-sustainability organisation Bafta Albert, I’m committed to helping those ambitions come to fruition. We encourage the television and film industry to reduce its carbon footprint and inspire the creation of content that builds understanding around climate change. Head of Climate Content at Bafta Albert, Catherine Ellis. Why should television help do this? Well, research shows that 65 per cent of people in the UK get their information about climate change from the TV. We have an incredible opportunity to support positive action. If you’re in any doubt about the power of the moving image to affect our view of the natural world, then turn your mind to …

The best secateurs in the UK to save you time and effort when pruning your garden, tested | Gardens

The best secateurs in the UK to save you time and effort when pruning your garden, tested | Gardens

Published by Sam Flores

Secateurs are the single most valued tool in the gardener’s trug, an implement as personally prized as the bricklayer’s trowel. With time, their weight and shape wear familiarly into the hand, becoming a companionable tool for all garden tasks, from pruning woody shrubs and cutting back perennials to slicing twine and preparing cut flowers. The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. There are two main types of secateurs, bypass and anvil (see below for their differences explained), and I’ve focused on the former here. If well looked after (we’ve included care instructions at the end of this article), a quality pair can last decades; as a result, gardeners declare staunch loyalties to particular models. After putting a range of gardeners’ bypass secateurs through the wringer in my own garden for the Filter a year ago, I donated them to the Garden Museum in London, where volunteers have made good use of them in the museum’s public gardens. As head gardener, I took the …

Starmer sacks Foreign Office chief ‘to save himself’

Starmer sacks Foreign Office chief ‘to save himself’

Published by Sam Flores

Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of sacking the top civil servant in the Foreign Office to save his own position. The Prime Minister fired Sir Olly Robbins, the Foreign Office permanent under-secretary, over the Mandelson vetting fiasco on Thursday night after he and Yvette Cooper, the Foreign Secretary, withdrew their confidence in him. Sir Olly’s departure came hours after news broke that Lord Mandelson had failed the enhanced vetting process for his appointment as ambassador to the US, but was given the post anyway after civil servants dismissed the findings. Sir Keir is now facing calls to resign from all three of Britain’s main opposition leaders, who have accused him of dismissing Sir Olly to prolong his own political survival. Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, said: “[The Government is] all over the place on this – it is totally unbelievable and Robbins, he’s the sacrificial lamb in an attempt to try and save the Prime Minister, and it just isn’t good enough.” Kemi Badenoch, the head of the Tories, said: “Keir Starmer …

GOP states are taking up voting laws modeled after Trump’s SAVE America Act

GOP states are taking up voting laws modeled after Trump’s SAVE America Act

Published by Sam Flores

This story was originally reported by Marissa Martinez of The 19th. Meet Marissa and read more of their reporting on gender, politics and policy. President Donald Trump’s priority elections bill has languished in the Senate for the past several weeks as some GOP politicians hesitate to upend precedent for voter registration in federal elections before the midterms. That hasn’t stopped lawmakers in several red states from introducing similar changes for their elections. Certain provisions that mirror the SAVE America Act — particularly going through voter rolls to remove already registered citizens deemed non-eligible — could put up hurdles to voting for married women, trans people and others who have changed their names. Republican governors in Florida, Mississippi, Utah and South Dakota recently signed bills that would require documentary proof of citizenship for people looking to register ahead of state and local elections. One is on its way to the desk of Tennessee’s Republican governor, Bill Lee. And several other state legislatures have moved toward tightening voter ID and registration laws over the past year. Though a few …

What is Trump-backed SAVE America Act and what could it mean for US vote? | US Midterm Elections 2026 News

Published by Sam Flores

Washington, DC – United States President Donald Trump has been unambiguous about his desire for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping voting law that supporters say will boost election security and that detractors say risks disenfranchising millions of voters. The push has gained new urgency, with the US Senate continuing debate on the law following a two-week recess. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list The president has said the bill, which at its core would create higher documentation standards for proving citizenship when registering to vote and casting a ballot, is his top priority ahead of the midterm elections in November, which will determine which party controls the Senate and the US House of Representatives. The bill has near-total support from Republicans, with Democrats remaining largely unified in opposition. It passed in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in February along party lines. The measure has since remained stalled in Congress, where Republicans control 53 out of 100 seats, short of the 60 votes it will likely need to pass. That is, …

Fears government cash will come too late to save manufacturing jobs | Money News

Fears government cash will come too late to save manufacturing jobs | Money News

Published by Sam Flores

Manufacturers are demanding immediate help with energy bills after the government revealed an expansion of a key support scheme, but said it would not begin until next April as planned. As companies grapple with surging energy prices caused by the Middle East conflict, ministers said a further 3,000 businesses were to benefit from the British Industrial Competitiveness Scheme (BICS). It is now expected that 10,000 manufacturers will get a 15%-25% bill reduction through being spared contributions to three existing policy cost elements, including the renewables obligation and feed-in tariffs. Money latest: Major airline raises ticket prices as fuel costs climb The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) said qualifying companies – all intensive users of power – would also secure a one-off payment next year to make up for the BICS scheme not being in place during 2026. As its name suggests, BICS is aimed at bolstering UK factory competitiveness as the country has long suffered the highest industrial energy prices in the developed world.
