Anti-racism protests sweep Britain after far-right riots
A 58-year-old man was jailed for three years for violent disorder on Wednesday, while two others, aged 41 and 29, were sentenced to 20 and 30 months, respectively. If you provoke violent disorder on our streets or online, you will face the full force of the law," Starmer said. Britain saw record net migration levels in 2022, with numbers buoyed by those arriving from Ukraine and Hong Kong, and through work and student visas. The government has put together a so-called "standing army" of 6,000 specialist police officers to respond to any violence. The National Police Chiefs' Council said more than 120 people had been charged and 428 arrests made in connection with the disorder.

A ribbiting tale of frogs and toads
For American toads, the cold and wet climate of western Newfoundland seems to be to their liking. Interestingly, these are American toads, rather than the native Canadian toads. American toads have a “sweeter” trill, while the Canadian toad sounds like an air compressor rattling away. Historically, American toads were found east of Lake Winnipeg, while Canadian toads were primarily found in the drier areas of Manitoba, including the aspen parkland and dry prairies of the southwest. It appears that American toads are now moving into the area, perhaps filling in the ecological vacuum left by the Canadian toads.
