‘Black market’ of greenhouse gases worth millions of pounds being smuggled into the UK – BBC News
A BBC investigation has uncovered a black market in highly polluting greenhouse gases being smuggled into the UK from Eastern Europe.
The gases – hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – are advertised and sold illegally via social media and the BBC found a trader suggesting smuggling them on coaches.
HFCs are widely used in fridges, air conditioning and aerosol sprays, but the EU and UK are limiting their use and want to eventually phase them out in favour of cleaner alternatives.
However, older machinery still runs on the most polluting HFCs – which has led to a black market worth millions.

The Red Cross has warned that the Nepal-Tibet flood has left an enormous level of trauma – with thousands of homes damaged or destroyed.

It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.
Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.
But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.
Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.

As it approaches the six-month anniversary of the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran, we analyse the strategically important developments with the Strait of Hormuz, and ordinary citizens from across the US describe the impact on their lives as gas prices increase.
Meanwhile, what of life inside Iran? With the announcement of a new internal security chief this month – we reflect on his past record and the report from a human rights organisation that so far this year, Iran has executed 500 of its own people.

China has warned there is a “high risk” that a lake which formed after the recent landslide near the Nepal-Tibet border may breach its banks, causing a second flood downstream.
The warning comes after Wednesday’s deadly flash flood in the same area which has killed more than 500.
Scientists say it was triggered by the collapse of a mountain glacier into a river.

The Netflix show Emily in Paris has been lauded by French President Emmanuel Macron, who presented its creator, Darren Star, with the prestigious Légion d’Honneur last year.
“You make France shine across the world,” Macron said.
Many critics disagree. The programme, about a hapless American marketing executive living a glamorous and romantic fantasy in the French capital, is due to return for its sixth and final season later this year.
Some Parisians have complained that the series is full of cliches. And they worry that the tourism boost created by the show is changing the city they live in.
How do blockbuster TV series and iconic films reshape our cities, for better or worse?
The Global Story host, Tristan Redman, heads to the fifth arrondissement, while producers Hannah Moore and Xandra Ellin get the picture in London and New York.

Recently, a certain woman from Britain was sitting on a tank in the Baltic States … and the fact that in August 1941 the British military died delivering military aid to Murmansk … In Murmanka there is a memorial to the British sailors who died. It would be better to come there on a ship and take the children and grandchildren of soldiers from Britain who died in the fight against the Nazis …

Maybe better for the govt to subsidize or give incentives to upgrade older cars that still use these gases.

It's a dislike from me.
Leave these people alone. Their trying to make a living like everyone else. Go after Boris for private jets to get to Glasgow from London. There is your climate criminal.
Edit, where did you empty those bottles? Did you waste the gas or at least give it to someone who "allowed" to use it?

Maybe if the govt ever get round to introducing the import checks they were supposed to have in place by January 2021 under the Brexit agreement, smuggling might be a bit less easy. Not holding my breath.

Of course they are all going to be trafficked in from Eastern Europe.
