I watched this programme on BBC2 last night on ultra-processed foods and the games that companies in that industry play to hide their culpability for the health consequences arising from their products:The programme is here, if you have a BBC licence. The programme was just what the BBC should be doing, and was powerful in its analysis, with which the ultra-processed food industry refused to engage. If you wonder why I get so worried about the economic, social and health consequences of these supposed foods this programme is essential watching, not least for highlighting the links with the tobacco industry and its creation of the false narratives about food, fat and addiction.

Read our privacy policyJamie Carragher criticised “selfish” Mohamed Salah for the handling of his contract saga with Liverpool and said he was “disappointed” with the star forward after his explosive comments on Sunday. Salah is one of three key Liverpool players, along with captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, to be out of contract next summer. “We are almost in December and I haven’t received any offers yet to stay in the club,” Salah said, in a rare interview with club reporters after the 3-2 win at St Mary’s. “So the reason Liverpool wouldn’t have offered a contract yet is because Mo Salah will turn it down. I would say Salah is in the top five players to ever play for Liverpool football club.

Britain remained on high alert on Monday following the season’s second major storm that ravaged the country through the weekend, killing at least four and disrupting the road and rail network.Several rail services were canceled as England and Wales fought floodwaters on Monday, following Storm Bert, which lashed Britain over the weekend with heavy rain and wind gusts of up to 80 mph.Many areas received as much as 130 millimeters of rain fall, causing some rivers to overflow their banks and turning roads into waterways.An 80-year-old man was reported dead after his car was swept into the water at a ford in Lancashire, northwest England, on Saturday. On the same day, another body, believed to be that of a missing dog walker, was found near the Afon Conwy river in North Wales.Environment secretary Steve Reed told the House of Commons, “Further flooding is sadly likely over the next few days as water levels rise in slower flowing rivers such as the Severn and the Ouse,”“The Environment Agency anticipates that any impacts should be less severe than we’ve seen in recent days.”By late Monday, more than 130 flood alerts remained in effect across England, Wales, and Scotland.A severe flood warning was issued for the River Nene in Northampton as water levels continued to rise, indicating potential danger to life meaning there is danger to life.

Meanwhile, two severe flood warnings for the River Monnow in southeast Wales were subsequently downgraded to standard flood warnings.Storms can pick up more energy, increasing wind speeds as a result of climate change and warmer oceans.Reed revealed that over the next two years, the government planned to spend 2.4 billion pounds ($3 billion) to shore up flood defenses around the country.“Climate change will inevitably lead to more severe weather of the kind we’ve seen this weekend,” he said.
