What’s happening to puffin numbers off Britain’s coast? – BBC News

Published

on



Puffins living on the Farne Islands off Britain’s coast have drawn concern that their numbers are declining due to bad weather and food shortages.

Numbers have fallen by 15% in recent years, and there is concern climate change may have affected the population of sand eels, which are puffins’ primary source of food.

Now, the annual puffin census has resumed off the Northumberland coast after it was suspended during the pandemic.

National Trust rangers have to check hundreds of burrows – their underground nests – for signs of occupation to understand how the birds are faring.

The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Jeffrey Donaldson, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of child sex offences, including rape.

Donaldson was convicted in June of 18 offences, which he committed against two women when they were children, between 1985 and 2008.

How AI ‘reskins’ are stealing human content | BBC News

Published

on

This week, Matt and Marianna explain how new software allows users to ‘reskin’ video content to make anyone say or do literally anything they like.

They discuss the resulting shift from realism to absurdism online, the existential threat to any type of IP ownership, and why independent creators inevitably suffer the most.
