Revealed: the ‘black box’ wastewater trade that rakes in millions for UK utility companies
Exclusive: Firms made more than £340m last year from processing industrial and commercial wastewater at sewage works that are unable to remove many chemical pollutants
Water companies in the UK made more than £340m in revenue last year by pouring billions of litres of industrial and commercial wastewater into sewage treatment works that experts say are not designed to remove most chemicals, leaving pollutants to pass into rivers, seas and farmland.
Water companies in England are required by law to take industrial wastewater and issue permits called “trade-effluent consents” that allow businesses to send it to sewage works, though water companies can refuse applications.

Isaias strengthens to become first Atlantic hurricane of 2026 season
Storm expected to make landfall on US’s northern Gulf coast with risk of flash floods and isolated river flooding
Isaias has become the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2026 season, with wind speeds of 80mph and a minimum pressure of 975mb. It is expected to strengthen to a category 2 hurricane as it approaches the US’s northern Gulf coast on Friday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
As a result of the strong El Niño, it has been a notably quiet Atlantic hurricane season. The first hurricane of the season has not formed this late since 8 October 1905, which pre-dates the satellite era (1960s) for tracking hurricanes that has allowed for more non-landfall hurricanes to be discovered.

How a plant selfie in Colombian jungle led to ‘jaw dropping’ giant waterlily find
Species with leaves large enough to be seen from space is already critically endangered – and plans are afoot to protect it
A chance social media encounter has led to the race-against-time discovery of a new species of giant waterlily that has until now been hidden in the depths of Colombia’s jungle.
But the plant, which is so huge it is visible from space, is already considered critically endangered.

Animals crossing: the simple solution to stop roadkill in the Amazon
Installation of eight canopy bridges in Alta Floresta has enabled 15,000 safe crossings by animals including spider monkeys and marmosets – and more bridges are planned elsewhere
By about 7am, with dense fog blanketing the landscape, Gabriel Falquetto had already come across several road-killed animals along the ES-164 highway in Brazil’s Espírito Santo state. The biologist was on his way to Kaetés private natural heritage reserve (RPPN) in the Atlantic Forest, where he monitors wildlife and roadkill.
Then he spotted the lifeless body of a primate on the pavement. It was a buffy-headed marmoset (Callithrix flaviceps), a species listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature red list. An estimated 2,500 individuals remain in the wild, making it one of the world’s most threatened primates.

How California is bracing for a winter of floods, fires and extreme storms all at once
The strongest El Niño recorded is expected to bring a cascade of hazards to a state still facing wildfire and heat risks, while budget cuts have weakened disaster response agencies

Before this year, the US National Weather Service had never issued a September coastal flood advisory for the San Francisco Bay Area. In the past month, it has had to issue two.
As flood water swallowed intersections and eroded beaches up and down the California coast last week, scientists and emergency managers warned that this is just an early signal of a coming tumultuous winter as an already exceptional El Niño continues to strengthen. It’s been called everything from “super” to “Godzilla”, as forecasters hammer home the message that conditions brewing in the Pacific Ocean could soon climb off the charts, and fuel extreme weather around the world.

Chichester harbour, Hampshire: I witness a battle of wills as this magnificent raptor attempts to fuel up on sea bass, before it heads south on migration
The autumnal sunlight gilded the sea as our boat drifted off Fowley Island, a small, uninhabited tidal saltmarsh between Thorney Island and Hayling Island. A colony of grey seals lay sprawled along the intertidal mudflats, their size and prominent, sloping Roman noses making them easily distinguishable from the more lithe, cat-faced common seals that also inhabit the harbour.
Two sub-adults were tumbling and splashing in the shallows, play-fighting with the exuberance of puppies. They mouthed and nipped at each other’s heads and necks, lunging and rolling over one another before disappearing beneath the waves, only to pop up again in a spray of water and resume their boisterous tussle. These playful interactions are a form of social bonding, but they also serve as a rehearsal for future dominance contests.

Meet Japan’s mythical beast who appears in bolts of lightning
Raijūis normally docile but gets agitated in storms and leaps up to run among the clouds, according to folklore
The Japanese raijū (thunder beast) is said to fall to Earth in a bolt of lightning. It is generally described as looking like a weasel, but is also compared to a cat, a wolf or a badger.
According to folklore the raijū is normally docile, but becomes agitated during storms and leaps up to run among the clouds. Trees struck by lightning are said to have been scratched by its claws.

As monarch butterflies migrate for the fall, meet the Chicago woman trying to protect them
Claudia Galeno-Sánchez has turned her home into a sanctuary for the insects by planting native milkweed and wildflowers – and sharing her experience
Along the concrete streets of Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, a vividly colored home stands out among the rest.
Over the past few years, Claudia Galeno-Sánchez has transformed her modest family home, which she shares with her husband and two children, into a sanctuary and educational space dedicated to the monarch butterfly.
Galeno-Sánchez painted her home with the help of neighbors, her kids, and the renowned muralist and painter Héctor Duarte.

This is one of Norway’s most pristine fjords. So why is it being used as a dumping site for mine waste?
The Norwegian government has given a permit to a mining company to release waste into Førde fjord despite a 17-year battle by campaigners and a supreme court ruling against it
Shortly after the Norwegian stock market closed on 17 June 2026, a few dozen local people from the small west coast town of Vevring crowded around a laptop in a school. Surrounded by children’s drawings and windows looking out over Førde fjord, they listened as news arrived from Oslo. Norway’s supreme court had ruled against its government: a permit to release mining waste directly into the fjord two miles upstream was illegal, the court said.
The moment marked the end of a 17-year fight, one of Norway’s most protracted environmental battles in living memory. In Oslo, Ingvild Fonn Asmervik, the project leader for Naturvernforbundet (Friends of the Earth Norway), compared the joy she felt to giving birth to her child. For Anne-Line Thingnes Førsund, a third-generation fisher living on the banks of the fjord in Vevring and a volunteer for the charity’s local branch, it was more of a relief. Like a mountain lifting off her shoulders, she said.

Upala crijeva može objasniti osjetljivost na hranu kod pacijenata s upalnom bolešću crijeva
Nova studija otkriva da upala crijeva može promijeniti način na koji crijevne bakterije razgrađuju hranu - moguće izazivajući imunološke reakcije na hranu koja je prije bila prihvatljiva za jelo. Smatra se, da rezultati mogu pomoći objasniti zašto toliko ljudi s upalnom bolešću crijeva (IBD) loše reagira na hranu poput mliječnih proizvoda ili glutena, čak i u remisiji.

Svjetski dan cerebralne paralize – prilika za vidljivost i razumijevanje
Od 2012. godine, 6. listopada se obilježava Svjetski dan cerebralne paralize. Radi se o inicijativi koja, na globalnoj razini, različitim aktivnostima nastoji podići svijest o cerebralnoj paralizi, životima osoba koje s njom žive te izazovima s kojima se suočavaju one i njihove obitelji. Ovaj dan prilika je za podsjećanje da cerebralna paraliza nije samo medicinska dijagnoza, već stanje koje kroz cijeli život može utjecati na kretanje, komunikaciju, samostalnost, obrazovanje, rad, zdravlje i sudjelovanje u društvu. Naime, potrebno je kontinuirano raditi na tome da osoba s cerebralnom paralizom ne bude definirana svojim ograničenjima, nego prepoznata kroz svoje sposobnosti, interese, prava i osobne ciljeve.

Jednostavan test urina može točno dijagnosticirati i pratiti rak mokraćnog mjehura
Jednostavan test urina koji su osmislili istraživači sa Stanford Medicine i VA Palo Alto Health Care System može dijagnosticirati ljude s rakom mokraćnog mjehura preciznije od trenutnih standardnih metoda. Test također omogućuje liječnicima ne samo da procijene odgovor raka na liječenje, već i da predvide hoće li imunoterapija ili kemoterapija vjerojatno biti najučinkovitiji za svakog pacijenta.
