The Gravelines nuclear power plant in northern France has been forced to shut down after a massive swarm of jellyfish clogged the filter drums that draw in cooling water, its state-owned operator, EDF, has confirmed. The facility, one of the largest in France, is cooled via a canal linked to the North Sea. According to EDF, four reactors were affected in the incident, which occurred late on Sunday, prompting a complete halt in production. Reactors 2, 3 and 4 automatically shut down when the pumping station’s filter drums became packed with what EDF described as a “massive and unpredictable” influx…
Tourist trails on Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy have been closed as firefighters continue to battle a huge blaze sweeping across the volcano’s slopes. Officials have also warned of another “challenging day” for crews tackling France’s largest wildfire since 1949. The wildfire on Mount Vesuvius, near Naples, broke out several days ago and by Saturday afternoon had spread to roughly 3km (1.9 miles) wide, destroying hundreds of hectares of woodland and killing wildlife. Thick smoke was visible from both Pompeii and Naples. Six Canadair firefighting aircraft have been deployed from the state fleet, while teams comprising firefighters, soldiers, forestry corps,…
Shares in US footwear company Crocs tumbled by almost 30% on Thursday after the firm warned of falling sales, citing the impact of tariffs, “super cautious” American consumers and signs that the “ugly shoe” trend may be losing steam. The Colorado-based maker of foam clogs and sandals saw its share price fall 29.2%, following a forecast that revenues could decline between 9% and 11% in the current quarter. Analysts had expected a slight increase. The plunge wiped the company’s valuation to its lowest level in almost three years. Chief executive Andrew Rees said there was “ample evidence” that many North…
The summit at Chevening came ahead of a planned meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin next Friday in Alaska.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has insisted that “Ukrainians will not give their land to occupiers” after Donald Trump said any end to the war with Russia must involve “some swapping of territories”.
People’s connection to nature has plummeted by more than 60% since 1800, closely mirroring the disappearance of nature-related words such as “river”, “moss” and “blossom” from books, according to new research. Computer modelling suggests that this decline will continue unless far-reaching societal and policy changes are implemented with introducing children to nature at an early age and radically greening urban areas identified as the most effective interventions. The study, published in the journal Earth by Professor Miles Richardson, a nature connectedness expert at the University of Derby, tracked the erosion of nature in people’s lives over 220 years using data…
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has dismissed the possibility of a United States military incursion into her country, following reports that Donald Trump had authorised the use of force against Latin American drug cartels designated as terrorist organisations.
Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, held high-stakes talks at the Kremlin on Wednesday, just two days before a deadline set by the US president for Russia to agree to a peace deal in Ukraine or face fresh sanctions. Russian state media reported that the meeting, which lasted approximately three hours, concluded with Witkoff’s convoy departing the Kremlin. No official statement has yet been released by either side regarding the outcome of the discussions. This marks Witkoff’s fifth visit to Moscow in his role as Trump’s lead negotiator with the Kremlin. The talks come as Trump, who…
Tesla and its chief executive, Elon Musk, are facing a proposed class-action lawsuit from shareholders who allege the company concealed major risks linked to its self-driving technology, resulting in securities fraud. The lawsuit, filed late on Monday, follows Tesla’s first public test of its “Robotaxi” service in late June near the company’s Austin headquarters. The demonstration instead drew scrutiny after the cars were seen speeding, braking erratically, mounting a curb, veering into the wrong lane, and dropping passengers in the middle of busy roads. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the primary US transport regulator, has since opened an…
