Long-vanished white storks have been reintroduced in southern England, leading to an “explosion” in sightings across Greater London in recent years. White storks could once be seen flying in Britain’s skies and building their huge nests on roofs and buildings as well as in trees, but disappeared centuries ago as a breeding bird due to hunting and habitat loss. In the four decades before the start of the project there were just 27 records of white storks across Greater London. “You look up into the skies and see a white stork, it’s quite obvious.”And he said: “We realised in recent years we’ve seen an explosion in white stork recordings across Greater London. The first phase of the study has involved surveying a representative sample of 1,000 Londoners, and a second phase is asking residents and frequent visitors to give their view on white storks and their place in the capital.
The UK government is preparing to introduce strict new visa measures targeting foreign students who enter the country for higher education and later seek asylum, as reported by The Times. Institutions will also be penalised if more than 5% of their student visa applications are rejected. Those failing to meet the standards may have their ability to recruit international students suspended or revoked.The Home Office has identified a trend where international students apply for asylum just before their visas expire. In 2024, 16,000 asylum applications were linked to student visa holders, some of whom then claimed taxpayer-funded accommodation and allowances.According to data published in The Times, international students made up 25% of the UK student population in 2023–24, contributing £12.1 billion in revenue. For each person returned, the UK has committed to accepting an equivalent number of asylum seekers through safe and legal routes.

It comes after Home Office figures published in March showed that around 16,000 people who claimed asylum in 2024 had originally arrived in the UK on a study visa. Image credit: Wikipedia Under the proposed changes reported by The Times, universities face penalties if they fail to meet certain performance thresholds for international students. These include ensuring that at least 95 percent of foreign students actually begin their courses and at least 90 percent complete them. Institutions that fall short will face restrictions on how many international students they can sponsor and will be required to demonstrate improvements, while those with persistently poor records will face losing the ability to sponsor overseas students altogether. The 16,000 asylum claims made by overseas students in 2024 represents around 2% of that figure.

They were known as the Miller Sisters, and their pictures were plastered all over magazines – shots of them sitting front row at runway shows or photographs of them sipping champagne on luxury vacations. They were new money, and they had no problem flaunting their wealth – although they did so with taste and elegance. Alexander is the son of the Austro–Italian aristocrat and Fiat heir, Prince Egon von Fürstenberg and fashion designer, Diane von Fürstenberg. While, in comparison to today's socialite–types, the Miller sisters appear to reflect the notion of quiet luxury, Richardson holds that in their heyday they were not understated. Luckily, we don't have to imagine what the Miller sisters' social media accounts might look like had they been young in today's generation, because each sister had a daughter of their own – and they're now best friends.

This will happen “in parallel” with an initiative by Project Pure Hope, a group set up to bring sick and injured Gazan children to the UK privately for treatment. More than 50,000 children are estimated to have been killed or injured in Gaza since October 2023, according to Unicef. A Government spokesperson said: “We are taking forward plans to evacuate more children from Gaza who require urgent medical care, including bringing them to the UK for specialist treatment where that is the best option for their care. Concerns have been raised this could see a Palestinian state recognised by the UK without Hamas releasing the remaining Israeli hostages. He told The Sunday Times: “The UK position on recognition is part of (a) co-ordinated international effort.
