<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>At around 16:14 on 22 June 2025, a tram operating on the Sheffield Supertram network was involved in a collision with two pedestrians on a crossing at Staniforth Road, Sheffield. The tram was travelling at around 15 mph (25 km/h) at the time of the collision. The pedestrians, who were young people, were both injured in the accident, one of them seriously.</p>
<p>The crossing is situated just to the south of the road junction where Woodbourn Road meets Staniforth Road. At the time of the accident, the two pedestrians, who had previously travelled north along Woodbourn Road, were moving eastwards over the crossing.</p>
<p>The road junction is protected by road traffic lights and tram signals, while signs and road markings inform crossing users of the presence of trams and instruct them to look both ways. Users approaching the crossing from Woodbourn Road are separated from the tramway by a fence. This is around 44 metres long and ends at the crossing.</p>
<p>Our investigation will seek to identify the sequence of events which led to the incident. It will also consider:</p>
<ul>
<li>the actions of those involved and the factors that may have influenced them</li>
<li>the audibility of warnings to users by trams at such crossings</li>
<li>the instruction and assessment of tram drivers</li>
<li>the management of risk at this crossing and the wider strategy of South Yorkshire Future Tram Ltd (the operator of the Supertram system) for identifying, assessing and mitigating risks at crossings such as that at Staniforth Road</li>
<li>any underlying management factors.</li>
</ul>
<p>Our investigation is independent of any investigation by the tramway industry or by the industry’s regulator, the Office of Rail and Road.</p>
<p>We will publish our findings, including any recommendations to improve safety, at the conclusion of our investigation. This report will be available on our website.</p>
<p>You can subscribe to automated emails notifying you when we publish our reports.</p>

<p>I come bearing some rather tree-mendous news, folks. A large leafy tree in west London is in the running to be named <strong>Tree of the Year</strong> by the lovely lot over at the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity. The London-based tree in question is located in the gorgeously green grounds of <strong>Chiswick House and Gardens</strong>and has earnt itself a comfy spot on the shortlist, alongside nine other trees across the UK.</p>
<p>Each year, the <strong>Woodland Trust</strong> scours the length and breadth of the country in search of the best, the biggest and the most beautiful trees. The panel of tree experts choose nine ‘inspirational trees’ of different ages and species, and an additional tree is selected by the public. Those <strong>ten UK trees</strong> then go <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">head to head</span> branch to branch, and one will be named Tree of the Year.</p>
<p>The theme for this year’s competition is<strong> ‘Rooted in Culture’</strong>aiming to shine a spotlight on the pivotal role that trees play in the likes of music, film, theatre, and literature. And the enormous evergreen in <strong>Chiswick</strong> to have made the cut has got a pretty impressive cultural claim to fame.</p>
<h2>The Beatles’ Cedar Tree</h2>
<p>Known as <strong>‘The Beatles’ Cedar Tree’</strong>the shortlisted London tree is of the cedar of Lebanon species, and has roots that date back to the 1720s. Hailed by the Woodland Trust as ‘a stunner in its own right’, the impressive conifer boasts a rather jam-packed CV. It is said to have been admired by the likes of <strong>Queen Victoria, the Tsar of Russia and the Shah of Persia</strong>. But is best-known for its links to The Beatles. The fab four were seen perched on one of the ancient tree’s branches in two of their music videos; <em>Paperback Writer</em> and <em>Pain</em>. And the colossal conifer also features on the cover of their EP, <em>Nowhere Man</em>.</p>

<p>Other trees to have made the<strong> Tree of the Year shortlist</strong> include an oak tree that supposedly inspired Virginia Woolf and a beech tree that featured in the final scenes of ‘1917’. Some pretty tough competition, hey?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>As part of the Dialogue, ministers announced the creation of a new UK-Pakistan Business Advisory Council bringing together senior business leaders and government officials to facilitate high value trade and investment. The Council will provide strategic advice on policy reform, offer a confidential forum for engagement, and help promote commercial opportunities by addressing market access challenges and sharing best practices. </p>
<p>Today’s (14 July) meeting in London was co-chaired by the UK Minister for Trade Policy and Economic Security, Douglas Alexander, and Pakistan’s Federal Minister of Commerce, Jam Kamal Khan. Both Ministers agreed to annual ministerial meetings to unlock growth opportunities, and support businesses and investors in the UK and Pakistan. </p>
<h4 id="uk-minister-for-trade-policy-and-economic-security-douglas-alexander-said">UK Minister for Trade Policy and Economic Security Douglas Alexander said: </h4>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">Today’s Dialogue marks the next step in our long-standing relationship with Pakistan, taking our trading partnership to the next level and unlocking new opportunities for businesses in both our countries.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">By deepening cooperation in key sectors like healthcare and digital technology – areas central to the UK’s Industrial Strategy – we can drive growth, foster innovation, and create jobs.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4 id="pakistans-federal-minister-for-commerce-jam-kamal-said">Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Commerce, Jam Kamal said: </h4>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">The UK remains one of Pakistan’s most important economic partners. This Dialogue lays the foundation for a more structured and forward-looking trade relationship. By strengthening collaboration and aligning our priorities, we can expand bilateral trade, attract greater investment, and create sustainable economic opportunities that benefit both nations. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>The UK has also announced up to £200,000 to support Pakistan’s aspirations to attract investment from the UK. The funds will provide technical assistance for investor outreach, and support matchmaking between Pakistani investors and UK-based opportunities. This initiative reflects the UK’s commitment to supporting Pakistan’s ambitions to increase outbound investment and to strengthening the bilateral investment relationship. </p>
<p>The Dialogue highlighted shared ambition to build on recent momentum, with bilateral trade increasing by 7.3% during the final quarter of last year. Bilateral trade is currently valued at £4.7 billion. Today’s discussion focussed on key sectors including information technology and healthcare, two priority areas under the UK’s Industrial Strategy. </p>
<p>The UK’s Industrial Strategy presents a significant opportunity for businesses and investors. The UK is committed to making it easier, faster, and more predictable for international firms to operate in its market. This includes reforms in skills development, innovation, regulation, and planning – creating a more dynamic and open business environment. Through the alignment of the UK’s Industrial Strategy and the UK – Pakistan Trade Dialogue, we are reaffirming our commitment to open and fair trade, and to deepening economic ties with key partners like Pakistan.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>The Environment Agency has successfully prosecuted Welsh Water for breaking conditions of an environmental permit at a Herefordshire sewage treatment works 7 times in a 5 month period.</p>
<p>At Kidderminster Magistrates Court on 11 July 2025, Welsh Water was fined £24,000 for exceeding permitted levels of sewage effluent from the Clehonger Sewage Treatment Works near Hereford. The company was also ordered to pay costs of £11,835.86 and a surcharge of £181.</p>
<p>Sewage treatment works treat raw sewage to produce an effluent which is discharged without damaging the local watercourse. At Clehonger, the water is discharged into the Cage Brook which is a tributary of the River Wye.</p>
<p>The court was told that officers from the Environment Agency were alerted to an issue following routine sampling results in November 2020.</p>
<p>The environmental permit states that Welsh Water must not discharge effluent containing more than 18 milligrams/litre of ammonia on more than 2 occasions in a 12-month period.</p>
<p>Results showed that in a 5 month period from 23 November 2020 to 17 April 2021 the limit had been exceeded 7 times ranging from 18.2 mg/l to 26.2 mg/l.</p>
<p>Officials from Welsh Water told the Environment Agency that the company was aware of additional loading coming into the site from a new development.</p>
<p>In mitigation, Welsh Water said that it had spent a significant amount of money to improve the infrastructure at the site. Adding, that since this incident there had been no further issues or breaches of permit condition.</p>
<p>Adam Shipp, a Senior Environment Officer at the Environment Agency who led the investigation, said: </p>
<blockquote>
<p>Incidents like this are preventable and are completely unacceptable, particularly at a time when the need to protect the water environment for wildlife and people has never been greater. </p>
<p>Water companies are aware that their activities have the potential for serious environmental impacts, and they know that we will take action when they cause pollution. </p>
<p class="last-child"> The Environment Agency does and will continue to hold water companies to account when their performance falls below acceptable standards.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3 id="the-charge"> The Charge</h3>
<p>Failing to comply with, or contravening, an environmental permit condition, contrary to Regulation 38(2) of the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016.</p>
<p>The particulars of the offence are as follows: </p>
<p>Dwr Cymru Cyfyngedig (trading as Welsh Water), Company Number 02366777, between the 23 November 2020 and the 17 April 2021, at the Clehonger Sewage Treatment Works, Herefordshire, failed to comply with, or contravened, an environmental permit condition, namely Condition 3.1.2 and Schedule 3 to Discharge Consent AH1000401, by exceeding the permitted level of 18 milligrams per litre of ammonia in the discharge from the said works to the Cage Brook, on seven occasions within the said period.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin-top:3px">
<p><strong>“Bulworth”</strong> is a seismic and insanity political satire who fearlessly takes on the anchored norms in American politics. Through his bold story, razor -sharp humor and burning prosecution of corruption and hypocrisy, the film pushes the boundaries of conventional story, compelling viewers to confront uncomfortable and uncomfortable truths.</p>
<p>Warren Beatty’s performance in the named role as Senator Jay Billington Bulworth is nothing more than extraordinary. He breathes life in the character and captures the essence of a man who grows on the dungeon by self -destruction and liberation. Beatty immerses himself saved in Bulworth’s metamorphosis, throws the veil of political correctness and embraces an unmatched and unfiltered persona. His magnetic charisma and razor-sharp wit make Bulworth an indelible presence and switches between self-launching humor and deep moments of introspection that reflects with authenticity.</p>
<p>The supportive role is equally impressive, with Halle Berry’s depiction of Nina, a young woman who becomes an unexpected catalyst for Bulworth’s transformation, which acts as an inspiration. Berry infuses Nina with an unmatched endurance and an infectious energy, as she challenges the status quo with unmatched determination. Oliver flat delivers a nuanced performance such as Dennis Murphy, Bulworth’s dedicated yet disillusioned advisors, torn between loyalty and a growing disillusionment with the political machine.</p>
<p>Director Warren Beatty worriedly handles the film’s multifaceted themes with brave and precision. He masterfully weaves together with clutching social comments, rap music’s vibrant rhythms and dark humor to create a cinematic experience that is completely distinct. Beatty’s direction deepens the viewers of politics chaos and absurdity, and reveals the tangled web of lies and manipulation that indicates the system. The film’s relentless stimulation drives the audience through a whirlwind of political intrigue, social criticism and personal transformation, which leaves them breathless and introspectively.</p>
<p>In addition to its razor satire and political skill, <strong>“Bulworth”</strong> reasoning on a deep level. It asks basic questions about power, the compromises we make and the potential for transformation within an incorrect system. It acts as a clarification call for authenticity and urges individuals to challenge the anchored interests that suffocate progress and to exert the transformative power in truth in a world full of fraud.</p>
<p><strong>Release: 1998</strong></p>
<p><strong>Stars: Warren Beatty, Halle Berry, Kimberly Deauna Adams</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rotten Tomatoes Score: 76%</strong></p>

<p>Jacob Corrie [31] from Carlisle has had his sentence increased by four years after it was referred to the Court of Appeal by the Solicitor General, Lucy Rigby KC MP, under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme. </p>
<p>The court heard that Corrie met his first victim over social media when he was 19. Corrie sexually abused the vulnerable boy, who Corrie knew was 14 years old, over two years between 2013 and 2015. Corrie also sent sexual messages via social media. </p>
<p>Corrie sexually abused the second teenager in 2013, before threatening her not to tell anyone. After the incident, Corrie sent a series of sexual messages to the victim claiming he had compromising images of them. </p>
<p>The court also heard Corrie had a previous conviction from 2020 after he sent messages to the second victim threatening to send compromising photos to her friends and family unless she sent more pictures. </p>
<p>In a victim personal statement, one of the teenagers said they do not feel safe in their daily life and suffer from constant fear, anxiety and depression. </p>
<p>Corrie initially denied the offences before pleading guilty and accepting that he was aware the victims were both aged under 16. </p>
<p>He admitted to nine counts of sexual activity with a child, eight counts of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity and two counts of sexual communication with a child. </p>
<p>The Solicitor General Lucy Rigby KC MP said: </p>
<blockquote>
<p class="last-child">Jacob Corrie’s crimes were appalling. I commend Cumbria police for their comprehensive investigation, and I welcome the court’s decision to increase his sentence.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>On 16 April 2025, Corrie was sentenced to six years and four months’ imprisonment Carlisle Crown Court. </p>
<p>On 11 July, his sentence was revised to 10 years and four months after it was referred to the Court of Appeal under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme.</p>
