Warmed and inadequately cleaned wastewater released from data centers is likely to affect water systems too. At least 200 new data centres are under consideration in the UK. Labour ministers have intervened on several occasions to push the processes through.

Firefighters put out 15 campfires and three disposable barbecues in one day in the Snake Pass area of the Peak District. Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service warned a "single spark could cause another devastating wildfire". Leave barbecues at home!

URGENT: the river Tyne is facing a plastic pollution disaster. On 19 July, a cargo ship collision caused over a billion plastic pellets to spill to the port of river Tyne - polluting the river system, coastal sites and the sea. To find out how you can help, visit buff.ly/XpB89LA

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...

"It’s all very well putting up £1 m to explore Golden Eagles re-establishment in northern England but w/out also investing in wildlife crime enforcement capabilities, any eagle will simply be shot, trapped, poisoned or bludgeoned, with 0 consequences for the offenders, as they've been for 70+ years"

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it. I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it. This needs to be escalated immediately.

During Mayor's Question Time last week I asked you to put pressure on the government to ban the “unlawful” ‘Great Israeli Real Estate.’ You clarified that you had discussed the event with the Metropolitan Police Service and stated that any allegations of criminality relating to the potentially unlawful sale of property at the event would be assessed by the Met as part of an investigation. It has since come to light that materials handed out at the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event included properties in Ma'Ale Adumin and Givat Zeev in the West Bank and Ramat Eshkol and Givat HaMatos in East Jerusalem. These settlements are illegal under international law. This event should never have been allowed to happen in our city. There was substantial evidence ahead of the event that organisers were advertising properties in illegal settlements. More than 100 organisations, including human rights groups, as well as over 100 MPs called for the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event to be cancelled. The UK Government has repeatedly affirmed that Israeli settlements are illegal under international law. With horrific settler violence against Palestinians on the rise, it’s more important than ever that those involved in hosting this deplorable event in our city are not allowed to act with impunity. The Proceeds of Crime Act makes it illegal for promoters and estate agents operating in the UK to facilitate the sale of land acquired through illegal conduct. Yvette Cooper has confirmed that the Advertising Standards Authority will investigate Sunday's event but that response is completely inadequate. This needs to be escalated to the Metropolitan Police Service immediately, anything less fails to reflect the seriousness of the situation. Following your discussion with the Met, why was a decision not made to ban the event given the clear and mounting evidence that justified its cancellation and how was it assessed that the event should go ahead? Could you also confirm whether t…Bild
