Climate change: Scientists fear car surge will see CO2 rebound

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-52724821

Daily global emissions of CO2 fell by 17% at the peak of the shutdown because of measures taken by governments in response to Covid-19, say scientists. The most comprehensive account yet published says that almost half the record decrease was due to fewer car journeys. But the authors are worried that, as people return to work, car use will soar again. They fear CO2 emissions could soon be higher than before the crisis. They are urging politicians to grasp the moment and make real, durable changes on transport and personal mobility.

Largest seahorses numbers at Studland Bay for 12 years

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/live-experience/cps/624/cpsprodpb/vivo/live/images/2020/6/2/af9ba7c5-37b5-47eb-a825-99326e85b84d.jpg

The reduction in boat traffic, anchors and people using the waters off the Dorset coast has seemingly helped certain wildlife thrive once again. The largest number of protected spiny seahorses since 2008 has been seen at Studland Bay, the Seahorse Trust has revealed. During a single dive, 16 seahorses - including pregnant males and two babies - were discovered. Previously, no seahorses had been seen in dives since 2018, when only a dead one was found. "We have seen so many seahorses because the food chain has recovered, giving seahorses plenty of food to eat, and crucially, somewhere to hide," trust founder Neil Garrick-Maidment said. He added the seagrass had also "started to repair itself". The Seahorse Trust and Dorset Wildlife Trust previously said boat moorings were damaging seagrass bed habitats.

Scammers using Covid-19 to prey on victims

People are being warned about scammers using the Covid-19 crisis to con them out of their money. Reports of attempted scams have been among the 360 complaints and inquiries received by trading standards officials in East Sussex since lockdown began. In May alone, residents across Sussex were conned out of about £1.2m, East Sussex County Council said. In one incident, an elderly resident received a phone call saying workers were in the area and could visit her home to “test the air for Covid-19”. Another received a bogus text message saying he was eligible for free groceries and was asked to give his personal details to receive a voucher.

Arctic Circle sees 'hottest-ever' temperatures

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-53140069

Temperatures in the Arctic Circle are likely to have hit an all-time record on Saturday, reaching a scorching 38C (100F) in Verkhoyansk, a Siberian town. The record still needs to be verified, but it appears to have been 18C higher than the average maximum daily temperature in June. Hot summer weather is not uncommon in the Arctic Circle, but recent months have seen abnormally high temperatures. The Arctic is believed to be warming twice as fast as the global average. Verkhoyansk, home to about 1,300 people, sits just inside the Arctic Circle, in remote Siberia. It has an extreme climate with temperatures plunging in January to an average maximum of -42C and then surging in June to 20C. But a persistent heatwave this year in the Arctic Circle has worried meteorologists. In March, April and May, the Copernicus Climate Change service reported that the average temperature was around 10C above normal.

Coronavirus: Warning thousands could be left with lung damage

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53065340

Tens of thousands of people will need to be recalled to hospital after a serious Covid-19 infection to check if they have been left with permanent lung damage, doctors have told the BBC. Experts are concerned a significant proportion could be left with lung scarring, known as pulmonary fibrosis. The condition is irreversible and symptoms can include severe shortness of breath, coughing and fatigue. NHS England said it was opening specialist rehabilitation centres. Retired taxi driver Anthony McHugh, 68, was admitted to hospital on 6 March with coronavirus symptoms. His condition deteriorated and he was transferred to intensive care and placed on a ventilator for 13 days. "I was feeling breathless, then I just remember being rushed into ICU, and after that it was all just a blank," he said.

Facebook bans 'loot-to-order' antiquities trade

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53140615

Facebook has banned users trading in historical artefacts on the site. It follows a campaign by academic researchers and an investigation by BBC News, exposing how items looted from Iraq and Syria were sold on Facebook. One expert welcomed the move but said for anything to change, Facebook should invest in "teams of experts to identify and remove networks rather than playing whack-a-mole with individual posts". Facebook says all trade in ancient artefacts is banned on its platforms. The changes are included in a new set of Facebook Community Standards published on Tuesday. They ban content that "encourages or attempts to buy, sell or trade historical artefacts" or "attempts to solicit historical artefacts". Items sold in this way can include ancient scrolls, manuscripts, mummified body parts and ancient coins.

Hundreds of elephants found dead in Botswana

Warning: Some people may find the following images upsetting

Mystery surrounds the "completely unprecedented" deaths of hundreds of elephants in Botswana over the last two months. Dr Niall McCann said colleagues in the southern African country had spotted more than 350 elephant carcasses in the Okavango Delta since the start of May. No one knows why the animals are dying, with lab results on samples still weeks away, according to the government. Botswana is home to a third of Africa's declining elephant population.

TikTok to exit Hong Kong ‘within days’

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53317015

TikTok has said it will quit Hong Kong after China imposed a new security law on the city. "In light of recent events, we've decided to stop operations of the TikTok app in Hong Kong," a spokesman told the BBC. The company's exit from the city will come "within days," according to the Reuters news agency. Facebook and Twitter said this week they were "pausing" co-operation with Hong Kong police over user information. The short-form video app was launched by China-based ByteDance for users outside mainland China as part of a strategy to grow its global audience. The tech company operates a similar short video sharing app in China called Douyin.

The world is ill-prepared for the global crash in children being born which is set to have a "jaw-dropping" impact on societies, say researchers. Falling fertility rates mean nearly every country could have shrinking populations by the end of the century. And 23 nations - including Spain and Japan - are expected to see their populations halve by 2100. Countries will also age dramatically, with as many people turning 80 as there are being born.

Internet-connected gadgets will have to come pre-set with a unique password, or require the owner to set one before use, as part of plans for a UK cyber-security law. Manufacturers could face being forced to recall non-compliant products and could also be fined. The government is now seeking feedback from consumer groups and industry experts to shape its final legislation.
One expert said the new rules would need "strong enforcement". The "call for views" is the latest step to introduce a cyber-security bill, which was first outlined in May 2019. Other proposals include a requirement that manufacturers state the minimum amount of time they will continue to provide security updates for a product after purchase. Digital infrastructure minister Matt Warman said that until the law was passed, households should ensure they had changed all internet-linked devices' default passwords to "protect themselves from cyber-criminals".

Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their mind. Mr Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries. But the long-term ambition is to usher in an age of what Mr Musk calls "superhuman cognition", in part to combat artificial intelligence so powerful he says it could destroy the human race.

Three scientists have been awarded the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for work to understand black holes. Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel and Andrea Ghez were announced as this year's winners at a news conference in Stockholm. The winners will share the prize money of 10 million kronor (£864,200). David Haviland, chair of the physics prize committee, said this year's award "celebrates one of the most exotic objects in the Universe". Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from them. UK-born physicist Sir Roger Penrose, from the University of Oxford, demonstrated that black holes were an inevitable consequence of Albert's Einstein's theory of general relativity. He receives half of this year's prize, with the other half going to Genzel and Ghez.

YouTube has suspended the One America News Network (OANN) for sharing misinformation about a Covid-19 "cure". The channel, which is a favourite of President Trump, is also suspended from making any money on YouTube. The suspension will last a week, during which time no new videos can be put up. To make money in future, the channel must rectify the issues. YouTube is attempting to clean up its platform and has also removed QAnon and pizzagate-affiliated accounts.

Apple has unveiled its new over-ear headphones dubbed AirPods Max, with a hefty price tag of £549 ($549 in US), making them more expensive than both the new Xbox and PlayStation consoles.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-55230656

That is not that hefty for good noise-cancelling headphones. I got my pair of noise-cancelling Sennheisers for CA$500 or thereabouts, so it's in the ballpark of its product category.

They're great if you work in a noisy environment, take public transport, or listen to music while vacuuming or using a blender.

Rugby World Cup winner Steve Thompson and seven other former players claim the sport has left them with permanent brain damage - and are in the process of starting a claim against the game's authorities for negligence. Every member of the group has recently been diagnosed with the early signs of dementia, and they say repeated blows to the head are to blame. Thompson, 42, played in every England match when they won the 2003 World Cup, but says: "I can't remember any of those games. It's frightening."

At least one other player has said that he won’t blame the authorities if he should develop dementia or whatever later on, as he knew the risk of injury when started playing.

I think it is right that the rules change if necessary now that the risk has been identified. The same way they have introduced a two week no playing rule if you get concussion.

Netflix is raising the cost of some of its UK subscriptions from next month, its customers have been told. The streaming service said the price rises reflected money spent on content. Its standard monthly package will go up from £8.99 to £9.99 and its premium one will rise from £11.99 to £13.99, but its basic plan remains at £5.99. However, comparison site Uswitch said the timing of the price rises was unfortunate with UK citizens living under new national lockdowns.

The price of Bitcoin has fallen below $34,000 (£24,030) for the first time in three months, after China imposed fresh curbs on crypto-currencies.

Beijing on Tuesday banned financial institutions and payment companies from providing services related to cryptocurrency transactions.

It also warned investors against speculative crypto trading.

It follows falls in Bitcoin of over 10% last week after carmaker Tesla said it would no longer accept the currency.

On Monday the crypto-currency was down 22%, a fall of about $6,000 in the last 24 hours.

Meanwhile, other digital coins such as Ethereum and Dogecoin lost as much as 25% and 29% respectively.

The missions, which have each been awarded $500m (£352m) in funding, are due to launch between 2028 and 2030.

Nasa administrator Bill Nelson said the missions would offer the "chance to investigate a planet we haven't been to in more than 30 years".

The last US probe to visit the planet was the Magellan orbiter in 1990.

More than 800 suspected criminals have been arrested worldwide after being tricked into using an FBI-run encrypted messaging app, officials say.

The operation, jointly conceived by Australia and the FBI, saw devices with the ANOM app secretly distributed among criminals, allowing police to monitor their chats about drug smuggling, money laundering and even murder plots.

Officials called it a watershed moment.

Targets included drug gangs and people with links to the mafia.

Drugs, weapons, luxury vehicles and cash were also seized in the operation, which was conducted across more than a dozen countries. This included eight tons of cocaine, 250 guns and more than $48m (£34m) in various worldwide currencies and cryptocurrencies.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the operation had "struck a heavy blow against organised crime" around the world.

European Union police agency Europol described Operation Trojan Shield/Greenlight as the "biggest ever law enforcement operation against encrypted communication".

Scientists say light pollution may be contributing to "worrying" declines in insects seen in recent decades.

In a UK study, artificial street lights were found to disrupt the behaviour of nocturnal moths, reducing caterpillars numbers by half.

Modern LED streetlights appeared to have the biggest impact.

There is growing evidence that insect populations are shrinking due to the likes of climate change, habitat loss and pesticides.

Factors are complex and varied, including the steady loss of forests, heathlands, meadows and marshes, overuse of pesticides, climate change and pollution of rivers and lakes.

The use of artificial lights at night-time has been proposed as another driver of insect decline, although the scale remains unclear.

Full report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58570353

This week, Facebook has faced a series of accusations about its internal workings, based on revelations in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere.

Much of the information comes from Facebook's own internal documents, suggesting the company now has some whistle-blowers in its ranks.

The documents will provide governments and regulators with plenty to pore over as they consider their next moves.

However, Facebook has defended itself against all the accusations.

Here are five things that were revealed this week: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-58678332

The first new sickle-cell treatment in 20 years will help keep thousands of people out of hospital over the next three years, NHS England has said.

Sickle-cell disease is incurable and affects 15,000 people in the UK.

Facebook has been fined £50.5m ($70m) by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which accuses it of deliberately breaking rules.

The case related to Facebook's 2020 acquisition of Gif-sharing service Giphy, which is under investigation.

The CMA said Facebook had not provided information, ignored many warnings, and committed a "major breach". The firm denies deliberately breaking rules.

There are also reports that its parent company might change its name.

Tech news site The Verge revealed the news about the firm - which owns the Facebook service itself, as well as WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus VR, and other brands.

Bird flu has been confirmed in poultry and wild birds at a premises in north Wales, the Welsh government has said.

The Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales confirmed the presence of the H5N1 strain at a premises in Wrexham county.

The Welsh government said temporary control zones had been immediately imposed around the site.

A veterinary investigation is under way, but dead wild birds found in the area have tested positive for the virus and are believed to be the source.

This is the first confirmation of the disease in Wales since it was discovered among pheasants at a property on Anglesey in January.

It follows the announcement of similar discoveries of avian influenza in the UK and Europe.

European scientists say they have made a major breakthrough in their quest to develop practical nuclear fusion - the energy process that powers the stars.

The UK-based JET laboratory has smashed its own world record for the amount of energy it can extract by squeezing together two forms of hydrogen.

If nuclear fusion can be successfully recreated on Earth it holds out the potential of virtually unlimited supplies of low-carbon, low-radiation energy.

The experiments produced 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds (11 megawatts of power).

This is more than double what was achieved in similar tests back in 1997.

Video-sharing site TikTok and streaming giant Netflix have limited and cut their services respectively in Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60641988


Netflix pulling out is purely cosmetic. They have less than one million subscribers in Russia. The money that brings in is probably what a Netflix executive spends for lunch in a month. I'd think twice before ascribing any kind of magnanimity to these "woke" companies.

TikTok is owned by ByteDance Ltd,  a Chinese multinational internet technology company headquartered in Beijing and legally domiciled in the Cayman Islands. I'll leave it at that.

Social media sites and search engines could soon have to stop paid-for scam adverts appearing by law.

The updated proposal is part of the Online Safety Bill, a piece of landmark legislation trying to determine how sites deal with harmful content.

Campaign groups say being a scam victim can cause both financial and emotional devastation.

The government is also launching a consultation into how online advertising is regulated.

Under a new legal duty being added to the bill, platforms will be required to put in place processes to block on ads appearing online and remove them if they slip through the net.
