About 1,000 endangered sea turtles were rescued in Florida after extreme winter weather left them cold-stunned.
This massive rescue effort shows what’s possible when communities act quickly to protect ocean wildlife.

The party confirmed they sent out campaign materials without proper party imprint, something it insists was a mistake.

Did a rare repeat cinema visit to see Black Phone 2 a second time, because my daughter is home from uni for half-term and she’s a fellow horror nut. Still an absolute blast.
