Venezuela may be the first nation in modern history to lose all its glaciers after climate scientists downgraded its last one to an ice field. Venezuela has lost at least six other glaciers in the last century. "There has not been much ice cover on the last Venezuelan glacier since the 2000s", Dr Caroline Clason, a glaciologist at Durham University, told Newsround. Luis Daniel Llambi, an ecologist at the university, told the Guardian that it had now shrunk to less than that.

The ringleader of an extreme body modification conspiracy who cut off men's genitals and uploaded videos to his "EunuchMaker" website was jailed for a minimum of 22 years in a London court on Friday.

Gustavson pleaded guilty last year to 13 offences, including conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm, causing grievous bodily harm, and possessing criminal property relating to the money made from the website. But, as a person cannot legally consent to the infliction of an injury causing bodily harm, the procedures amounted to a criminal offence even with consent. He was sentenced at the Old Bailey court on Thursday alongside six other men, four of whom had also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.
