    Situation ‘stabilising’ as more than 100 firefighters continue to battle blaze that broke out on Dunwich Heath

    A wildfire near Britain’s biggest nuclear power station has caused “total devastation” to one of the UK’s most important landscapes, as fire crews said the situation was “stabilising”.

    More than 100 firefighters have been battling the blaze on Dunwich Heath, near Leiston, on the Suffolk coast since Wednesday evening. The fire service said on Friday the situation was stabilising but remained a “major incident”.

  • ‘Extremely scary findings’ show climate crisis is supercharging Europe’s wildfire weather

    Latest study says global heating has made hot, dry and windy conditions in Spain at least 20 times more likely

    The extreme heat and drought stoking huge wildfires in Spain and France were made far more likely by the climate crisis, a scientific analysis has found.

    Global heating made hot, dry and windy weather at least 20 times more likely in Spain and twice as likely in France, experts from the World Weather Attribution (WWA) consortium calculated. The finding is the latest to pin the blame for the continent’s sweltering and deadly summer firmly on the heating caused by the burning of oil, gas and coal.

  • ‘It’s too fast, too big’: speed of climate crisis is devastating crops, say farmers

    Drought and extreme heat are killing plants, driving up prices while also making some farms economically unviable

    “It’s a constant battle,” says Tim Young. He and his family have been tracking the rainfall on their Norfolk farm since 1976, and the data shows the last six years have seen two-thirds the amount of rain compared with previous years. The lack of water has become the number one risk to Young’s business.

    This summer has seen record-breaking climate induced heatwaves scorch much of Europe, which combined with droughts and “apocalyptic” wildfires has made farming virtually impossible. France has faced down fires that its president, Emmanuel Macron, called the worst since the second world war and on Wednesday half of England was declared officially in drought, with July expected to be the driest on record after winter floods, according to the Environment Agency. So how are farmers bearing up under the pressure?

  • ‘It’s all right for them’: private schools and golf courses stay green despite England’s hosepipe bans

    As parks turn brown and paddling pools go unfilled, exemptions mean sports pitches can stay lush – even in school holidays

    After multiple punishing heatwaves, and no rain in parts for over a month, it seems the whole of the south of England is golden brown.

    But by Hammersmith Bridge in Barnes, south-west London, there is the unmistakable scent of damp soil. The playing fields of St Paul’s school, where fees are up to £57,000 a year, are a bright, lush green.

  • New solar panels in Great Britain at 15-year high as fossil fuel costs soar

    Boom in solar farms and home installations in first half of 2026 began shortly after start of US-Israel war against Iran

    Great Britain has recorded more new solar power installations in the first half of this year than in any six-month period since 2011, as households turn to rooftop panels to help cut their energy bills.

    An analysis of the government’s official figures shows that Great Britain added 142,536 solar installations in the first six months of the year, putting it on track to top last year’s record solar additions.

  • Soy sauce refills and reused jars: can Philippines’ tingi culture hold back deluge of plastic waste?

    A zero-waste shop set up by a district council provides plastic-free products at affordable prices in a country that gets through 164m sachets a day

    Just after classes finish for the day in Malabon City, in the Philippines, a corner shop begins to fill. Mothers arrive with their children, handing over empty bottles to be refilled with soy sauce and cooking oil. Plastic tubs that previously held ice-cream or biscuits are weighed and filled with flour or sugar. The kids get some sweets and banana chips bagged in brown kraft paper.

    This store, Tingi Tindahan, offers a different experience from other small independent shops in the country. It retains the accessibility of micro-retail, colloquially known as tingi, while reintroducing reuse and refill methods instead of selling products in sachets and plastic packaging that too quickly becomes discarded waste.

  • Families to be moved out of billionaire-owned tower after suffering without air con

    Several councils to stop housing tenants in glass-fronted Britannia Point in London, where tenants were earlier told they could not use air con

    As the fourth heatwave of the year hit the UK on Wednesday, Benice Bodah and her three teenage sons braced for more scorching temperatures inside their south-west London home. The two-bedroom flat has a built-in air-conditioning unit, but it has worked only intermittently in the almost three years since the family were placed in temporary accommodation at Britannia Point in Colliers Wood. “It has not been easy, but what can we do?” said Bodah, 48.

    Several councils have now agreed to stop housing families in emergency accommodation in the glass-fronted block after the Guardian revealed they had been told they couldn’t use the air-conditioning during heatwaves as it had “not been offered as an amenity” for them. The 19-storey building is owned by Criterion Capital, set up by the billionaire property magnate Asif Aziz. The temporary tenancies can last from weeks to years and are managed separately by letting agencies, including the London-based Aura Assets Management.

  • ‘Kind of like a fairytale’: documentary tells the unusual tale of Flaco the Owl

    Wild Inside looks back on the incredible year when an escaped zoo owl managed to bring New Yorkers together

    Flaco the Eurasian eagle-owl gained a cult following after leaving his life in captivity at the Central Park zoo in 2023 and surviving, against all odds, for more than a year as a free bird in Manhattan.

    Birdwatchers tracked his every move, capturing his vast wingspan and luminous orange eyes with their cameras. His fans got tattoos in his honor. And now, Wild Inside, a new documentary chronicling Flaco’s year about town, is set to premiere this week.
