Bluefin tuna had all but vanished from UK waters.

Now, the giant predatory fish are back – in huge numbers.

Their return is one of several wildlife recoveries highlighted in a major new report from WWF, which it says shows conservation can work.

A major incident has been declared and homes have been evacuated in a village near an RAF base which hosts the United States Air Force.

Several men have been arrested on suspicion of offences under the Explosives Act, Gloucestershire police said. An army explosive ordnance disposal team is currently examining a number of vehicles.

Whitehall officials say the investigation into the incident is being led by counter-terror police.

The base has been recently used to deploy American bombers since the country’s conflict in Iran began on 28 February.

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth says the public will be able to watch Nidal Hasan die by firing squad when he is executed in Texas in December. The former army psychiatrist killed 13 unarmed soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. The UN human rights office said a livestream would be “tantamount to a public execution and would breach the absolute prohibition of torture”.
