British and South Korean scientists are drilling through the Thwaites glacier, in one of the most remote parts of Antarctica, to understand why and how it is melting.

Thwaites is in danger of collapsing due to climate change, and if that happens it could lead to higher global sea levels, and flooding in the world’s biggest coastal cities.

We spoke to the BBC’s climate editor, Justin Rowlatt – one of the few journalists to have visited the Thwaites glacier.

Bad Bunny has become the first Latin artist to win album of the year in the 68-year history of the Grammy Awards, at a ceremony where dozens of stars railed against the Donald Trump administration’s US immigration crackdown.

The 31-year-old, who will headline next week’s Super Bowl half-time show, dedicated the award to immigrants who “leave their home, land, their country, to follow their dreams”.

British singer Olivia Dean, who was named best new artist, also used her speech to defend immigrants.

“I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant,” said the singer, whose grandmother Carmen was part of the Windrush generation of immigrants in the UK.

Stars including Kehlani, Gloria Estefan and Billie Eilish also spoke in support of immigrants, while many musicians wore badges reading “ICE out” on the red carpet.

The mother of a student who took his own life after wrongly being told he could not graduate says he was “failed” by Glasgow University after a report highlighted serious concerns.

An investigation by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education found that the university’s processes posed a “systemic risk to academic standards”.

Its review was carried out after the death of Ethan Brown, who should have been awarded a 2:1 degree but was incorrectly told he had not passed his course.

His mother, Tracy Scott, said her son was “robbed” of his degree, and changes must be made to “safeguard” current and future students.

Glasgow University apologised and said it fully accepted the report’s recommendations.
