C'est un nouveau cri d'alarme, que lance ce vendredi par l'OMM, l'Organisation Météorologique Mondiale. « Les glaciers du monde perdent trois piscines olympiques chaque seconde », titre le quotidien espagnol El Païs. L'OMM met en garde contre « une avalanche de conséquences en cascade ». « La préservation des glaciers n'est pas seulement une nécessité environnementale, économique et sociale. C'est une question de survie », alerte Celeste Saulo, le secrétaire général de l'Organisation Météorologique Mondiale. « L'une des conséquences les plus graves de cette réduction de la couverture de glace concerne l'approvisionnement futur en eau de certaines régions de la planète, notamment en Asie, puisque les glaciers agissent comme de gigantesques réservoirs d'eau ».Quant aux « effets en cascade », El Païs explique que « le recul de ces zones gelées peut conduire, par exemple, à la formation de lacs, qui peuvent à leur tour provoquer une instabilité des pentes et des crues soudaines ». Le Monde, de son côté, souligne que « plus de 2 milliards de personnes dépendent directement des stocks des montagnes pour leur approvisionnement en eau potable, leurs installations sanitaires, leur agriculture ou leur énergie ». Toutefois, tout n'est pas encore perdu, quelques signes d'espoir demeurent : « selon l'évolution des émissions de CO2, certains glaciers peuvent encore être préservés », assure El Païs.MirageÀ lire également ce matin, dans le Washington Post, un éditorial virulent contre la politique économique de Donald Trump. C'est Fareed Zakaria, journaliste à CNN, américain d'origine indienne, qui prend la parole dans les colonnes du quotidien américain. Et il clame que « le rêve industriel de Trump est un mirage ». « Le président américain est convaincu », dit-il, « que la clé de la transformation des États-Unis réside dans la relance des usines et des fonderies à travers le pays ». « L'idée que l'Amérique devrait produire davantage est séduisante » poursuit Fareed Zakaria. « Nous imaginons tous un pays riche et puissant doté d'immenses usines qui crachent de la fumée, produisent des produits et les vendent au monde entier. Cette idée est profondément ancrée dans nos esprits. Mais c'est une image du passé, et non de l'avenir ». Pourquoi ? « Parce que les économies les plus avancées du monde sont aujourd'hui presque toutes dominées par les services », explique le journaliste américain. Pour lui, « la tentative de relancer l'industrie manufacturière par le protectionnisme revient à défier les principes économiques fondamentaux ».Perturbations dans les airsEnfin, panique dans les airs après un incendie à l'aéroport d'Heathrow, à Londres. « L'aéroport est fermé : plus de 1 000 vols sont affectés après une panne de courant provoquée par un incendie », titre le Guardian. Le quotidien britannique précise que l'aéroport « sera fermé jusqu'à ce soir minuit ». De nombreux vols sont détournés vers Paris ou vers Shannon en Irlande. « La fermeture d'Heathrow se fait sentir dans le monde entier », selon le Guardian qui a interrogé Neil Hansford, un spécialiste du trafic aérien basé à Sydney. Selon lui, il ne faut pas trop compter sur les autres aéroports de Londres, comme Gatwick et Stansted. En effet, explique-t-il, « ils ne peuvent pas accueillir un volume comparable à celui des cinq terminaux d'Heathrow, où il y a une arrivée toutes les minutes ». « C'est catastrophique pour le trafic aérien », poursuit Neil Hansford, qui met en avant deux problèmes principaux : comment les passagers détournés parviendront-ils à Londres ? Comment résoudre le problème du carburant ? « Les compagnies ont l'habitude de se ravitailler à Heathrow », qui sera donc inaccessible, alors que les autres aéroports « ne pourront sans doute pas ravitailler tous les avions supplémentaires ». La journée s'annonce donc chaotique dans les airs et les aéroports de nombreux endroits du monde.

Julian Assange foi liberto. Ele deixou a prisão de segurança máxima de Belmarsh na manhã de 24 de junho. Ele foi solto sob fiança e seguiu para o aeroporto de Stansted onde embarcou em um avião partindo do Reino Unido, e deve retornar à Austrália.

Visage pâle et chevelure blanche : le lanceur d'alerte Julian Assange était régulièrement à la Une des journaux depuis près de 14 ans. Depuis que la justice américaine lui reprochait d'avoir rendu publics plus de 700.000 documents confidentiels sur les activités militaires et diplomatiques des Etats-Unis, en particulier en Irak et en Afghanistan.Julian Assange est donc une nouvelle fois à la Une de quasiment tous les journaux ce matin, ou du moins de leurs sites internet.« Julian Assange libéré de prison, après avoir conclu un accord avec le ministère américain de la Justice », s'exclame le Guardian à Londres.« Accord avec la justice américaine : Julian Assange en route vers la liberté », lance Die Welt à Berlin.« Julian Assange accepte de plaider coupable en échange de sa libération », précise le New York Times.« La longue saga de Julian Assange devrait enfin prendre fin », pointe le Washington Post.En route pour le PacifiqueHier, les événements se sont précipités, relate Le Monde à Paris : « l'Australien de 52 ans a quitté la prison de Belmarsh dans la matinée puis a été libéré par la justice britannique à l'aéroport londonien de Stansted dans l'après-midi, d'où il a embarqué à bord d'un avion et a quitté le Royaume-Uni. »Désormais, poursuit Le Monde, « l'Australien est route pour le Pacifique, où il doit comparaître devant un tribunal fédéral des îles Mariannes, territoire américain. Il devrait plaider coupable de “complot pour obtenir et divulguer des informations relevant de la défense nationale“. Une audience est prévue dans l'archipel demain mercredi à 9 heures (heure locale) pour fixer la condamnation de Julian Assange. Ce dernier devrait se voir infliger une peine d'emprisonnement de 62 mois, soit une détention qu'il a déjà purgée (au Royaume-Uni), et quitter libre le tribunal, ce qui lui permettrait de regagner son Australie natale. »Le rôle de l'AustralieApparemment, les autorités australiennes ont joué un rôle important dans sa libération, précise le Guardian à Londres : « en février dernier, le Parlement australien avait adopté une motion appelant les gouvernements américain et britannique à autoriser Assange à retourner dans son pays natal. Puis, en avril, le président américain Joe Biden avait déclaré qu'il envisageait d'accepter une demande de l'Australie visant à abandonner les poursuites contre Assange. Et hier, sa mère a déclaré que la fin de son “calvaire“ était due à une “diplomatie discrète“, tandis que son père remerciait le Premier ministre australien, Anthony Albanese. »Dangereux activiste ou héros du journalisme ?« La longue bataille juridique autour de Julian Assange devrait enfin s'achever », commente le Washington Post. « C'est un drame tentaculaire, presque surréaliste, impliquant les États-Unis, la Grande-Bretagne, la Suède, l'Équateur et l'Australie. Un drame qui a vu le fondateur de Wikileaks rester confiné dans des pièces exiguës et être détenu en cellule pendant un quart de sa vie. Son parcours, émaillé de piratages de données, de fuites, d'emprisonnement, de coups de théâtres judiciaires est à la fois inspirant, effrayant, déprimant - selon la façon dont on considère le personnage.L'affaire a soulevé, sans jamais y répondre définitivement, des questions essentielles sur ce que signifie être un journaliste et un lanceur d'alerte. »Et le Washington Post de s'interroger : « était-il un “acteur non étatique menaçant la sécurité nationale des États-Unis“, comme l'a prétendu un jour le directeur de la CIA Mike Pompeo ? Ou bien un héros, comme le croient ses nombreux partisans qui se sont rassemblés à maintes reprises devant les tribunaux britanniques, tandis que ses avocats luttaient contre son extradition vers les États-Unis. »Pour The Australian à Sydney, « Julian Assange devrait être récompensé pour services rendus à la vérité. Le fondateur de Wikileaks a réussi à se mettre à dos non seulement le gouvernement américain, mais aussi les élites de gauche et de droite du monde entier. Mais le monde a été grâce à lui beaucoup mieux informé. »« La liberté de Julian est notre liberté »Enfin, la plateforme Wikileaks ne cache pas sa joie. Son communiqué est cité notamment par Libération à Paris : « nous avons publié des informations inédites sur la corruption des gouvernements et les violations des droits humains, obligeant les puissants à rendre compte de leurs actes. En tant que rédacteur en chef, Julian a payé sévèrement pour ces principes et pour le droit du peuple de savoir. (…) La liberté de Julian est notre liberté. Après plus de cinq ans dans une cellule de 2 mètres sur 3, isolé 23 heures par jour, il sera bientôt réuni avec son épouse Stella et leurs deux enfants, qui n'ont connu leur père que derrière les barreaux. »

After spending more than five years in the UK's Belmarsh prison, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was released at London's Stansted airport on Monday, where he board a flight to Australia. In an agreement with US authorities, Assange will plead guilty to charges and go free, spending no time in US custody and will receive credit for the time spent incarcerated in the UK. Lester Kiewit speaks to Beauregard Tromp, Africa editor with Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project  (OCCRP), to discuss Assange's role in exposing corruption and cover-ups.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There were no happy landings at UK airports after a national IT network meltdown left passport e-gates firmly closed - and many thousands of exhausted travellers stranded.The tech failure bricked e-gates to blank screens as Border Force officials at airports including Heathrow, Stansted and Luton processed passengers the old-fashioned way - by hand, at the desk.Some travellers complained of waiting for hours without food and water - or even bed town on terminal floors as onwards transport options were overcrowded or services had finished for the night.For the latest on the travel implications for your summer holiday - and some important passport news, The Standard podcast is joined on the line by Sean Tipton, spokesperson for travel association Abta.

David Cran has worked in aviation for the last 34 years in a range of roles including air traffic control, airfield operations, airport manager and meteorological observer. He really is an expert in his field.He has worked at both big and small airfields, which have handled a range of air traffic from hot air balloons, to big aircrafts such as the A380 and even Airforce One. David is currently the Group Compliance and Assurance Lead for Manchester Airport Group, which covers Manchester, East Midlands and Stansted airports.In this episode we chat to David about the role weather has on airport operations and how the weather forecasts are put together. We touch on everything from fog to of course the impact snow can have and why it is a lot easier to land a plane on the snow in Antarctica rather than when we have some wet snow here in the UK.We also discuss the role the changing climate is having on airport operations, and how airports are being asked to look at their resilience to extreme weather events such as high temperatures, intense rainfall and strong winds. As well as this we discuss the importance of taking into account the environmental impacts of the chemicals used when it comes to deicing the plane, both ensuring 100% safety, but also keeping an eye on the impact on the environment.Thanks so much for listening and supporting the podcast and we hope you leave this episode loving the weather just a little bit more.If you would like to follow our podcast on ‘X' we are @4loveofweather and on Instagram @fortheloveofweather.

There's to be Government a review into fairness in the egg supply chain - something that was promised at the UK Farm to Fork Summit in Downing Street 5 months ago. Last Spring egg producers warned that retailers weren't paying enough for their eggs, and that was forcing producers to cut back the number of laying hens or give up altogether. That - combined with the pressure of avian flu - led to shortages on supermarket shelves and an increase in imports from places like Italy and Poland. Since then, prices farmers are getting for their eggs have risen by as much as fifty percent, but producers say contracts still need to be fairer. A flock of pedigree Suffolk sheep has been flown all the way to Georgia in Eastern Europe. Irene Fowlie from Aberdeenshire, who bred the animals, had to arrange the export directly with the Georgian Department of Agriculture, to allow the trade go ahead. The animals, 70 ewes and 3 rams travelled on three flights - from Stansted to Maastricht, then to Istanbul in Turkey and then on to Georgia. And we visit the Western Isles off the coast of Scotland, which are exposed to some of the worst winter weather. Keeping livestock of all kinds safe and healthy, is the priority for farmers and the local community. Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons

Darkness Radio presents Breaking Down The Dead Files with Paranormal Investigator/Psychic/Medium, Cindy Kaza! Cindy is best known for her work on Travel Channel's The Dead Files, The Holzer Files and Ghosts of Devil's Perch. Cindy has been extremely intuitive since very early childhood. At the age of 10 she had her first memorable experience with a spirit. Days after losing a childhood friend in a fatal car accident, Cindy woke up in the middle of the night to see her friend standing next to her bed. At the time, she dismissed this experience and convinced herself it was just a dream. It wasn't until her early 20's that she realized she was having psychic and mediumistic experiences all along. During this “awakening” she began searching for answers and reasons for her experiences and became aware of her multi-faceted abilities as a psychic medium. She began training not only in the United States but also at the Arthur Findlay School of Intuitive Sciences in Stansted, England. She believes in compassionately sharing her gift with others while also opening up others to the gifts they too possess and that everyone is inherently intuitive and able to feel Spirit! Cindy joins Darkness Radio today to talk about her first few episodes after newly joining The Dead Files on Travel Channel after the departure of Amy Allen !  We talk about the specifics of the episodes, what certain spirits "feel" like, if serial killer ghosts are common, and could Ed Gein's life path have been changed? The Dead Files airs every Thursday night on Travel Channel at 10 PM ET/( PM CT and can be found on demand on Max!

Episode 46 sees me return stole items to Peter Rugman and he returns the favour by stealing the show.  During a routine headlining of the last ever Static Shock Weekend with The Number Ones, Peter Rugman was gracious enough to grace us once again with his presence and once he's done that, goes on to tell us about his award winning, improvised murder mystery show (which is his way of confessing to -actual- murder). I gloss over his homicidal tendencies and instead dive into his beef with Charlie Puth while I break the law by stealing some electricity from a plug in a pub.  Sonic Second follows swiftly with contributions from Counting Crows and Julian Lennon and from there we fall in to Vox Pas with some terrible examples of Irish accents in video games.  Workfarce makes its inglorious return and then after Have I Got Tunes For You we treat you to a song from The Number One's headline set from that night at the Lexington. Whole show is rounded out with a delayed flight and delayed responses from some tired rockers in Stansted airport the following morning. 

Touched by Spirit. Each and every one of us. Individually, the catalyst may look different to each one of us, but the purpose in remembering who we are is all the same. Join me and my inspiring guest, Courtney Dawson for this beautiful conversation about her journey with Spirit from childhood to today where she is making a difference for thousands with her beautiful, spirit inspired work. She is a brilliant psychic medium and teacher, living in Canada and changing lives one piece of content at a time.  Courtney is not just a professional working medium and Ordained Spiritualist Minister, but she is also a truly compassionate and inspiring individual. Having undergone extensive training at the prestigious Arthur Findlay College in Stansted, England, and receiving guidance from the renowned international medium Tony Stockwell, Courtney has accumulated a wealth of experience in her field. Furthermore, her knowledge has been enriched by obtaining her Spiritual Life Coaching certification from the esteemed medium James Van Praagh, along with her Usui Reiki Level 2 Certification. Courtney's incredible ability to connect with clients from all around the world is a testament to her overflowing love and energy. She has established a strong bond with the spirit world, making her a trusted source for spirit messages and spiritual guidance. However, what truly sets Courtney apart is her unwavering dedication to her clients. Her ultimate goal is simple yet profound: to provide accurate guidance and heart felt messages that resonate deeply. By doing so, she aims to support her clients on their unique journeys. In addition to her one-on-one work, Courtney has made appearances on several podcasts, generously sharing her expertise. Through her endeavors, she hopes to create a sense of validation and confidence in others, allowing them to embrace their own spiritual experiences.  Lastly, Courtney is the host of The Connected Spirit Podcast, where she continues to foster connection and provide valuable insights to a wider audience.  Courtney's Instagram Courtney's Website

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del lunes 10 de julio de 2023: El presidente Joe Biden, llegó a Gran Bretaña el domingo, iniciando un viaje por tres países que estará dominado por una cumbre de la OTAN en Lituania con el objetivo de mostrar solidaridad con Ucrania en su lucha contra Rusia sin aceptar aún a Kiev como miembro de la alianza. Pero los desafíos de forjar la solidaridad entre los 31 países miembros de la OTAN se destacaron en una llamada entre Biden y el presidente turco Tayyip Erdogan antes de la cumbre de la alianza en Lituania esta semana y la candidatura de Suecia para ser miembro de la alianza occidental sigue siendo un punto de discordia. Biden aterrizó en el aeropuerto de Stansted y abordó el helicóptero Marine One con destino al centro de Londres, donde se reunirá el lunes con el primer ministro británico, Rishi Sunak, en el número 10 de Downing Street. Más tarde viajará al Castillo de Windsor para visitar al Rey Carlos. Las conversaciones con el rey, que se espera incluyan iniciativas climáticas, le darán a Biden un mayor sentido del hombre que sucedió a su madre, la reina Isabel, tras su muerte en septiembre pasado. Biden viajará a Vilnius, Lituania, el lunes por la noche y sostendrá conversaciones con los líderes de la OTAN allí el martes y el miércoles. Biden y los aliados de la OTAN tienen como objetivo mostrar su apoyo a Ucrania y darle al presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, una idea de lo que se deberá hacer para obtener la membresía de la OTAN en el futuro. FUENTE: REUTERS Después de grandes golpes a su agenda por parte de la Corte Suprema, el presidente Joe Biden tiene la intención de asegurarse de que los votantes tengan la última palabra. Cuando la mayoría conservadora de la corte eliminó efectivamente su plan para cancelar o reducir las deudas de préstamos estudiantiles federales para millones de personas, dijo Biden, “los republicanos les arrebataron la esperanza que les dieron”. Cuando los jueces pusieron fin a la acción afirmativa basada en la raza en las admisiones universitarias, dijo: “Este no es un tribunal normal”. Cuando anularon Roe v. Wade y el derecho nacional al aborto el año pasado, el presidente dijo: “Los votantes deben hacer oír su voz”. A medida que Biden se dirige a las elecciones de 2024, se postula no solo contra los republicanos que controlan la mitad del Congreso, sino también contra el bloque conservador que domina el tribunal supremo de la nación. Es un cambio sutil pero significativo en el enfoque hacia la Corte Suprema, tratándola más como una entidad política incluso cuando Biden no llega a pedir una revisión. Biden, quien una vez dirigió el Comité Judicial del Senado, se está enfocando en la politización de la corte como una forma de alentar a los votantes a que lo respalden.

I had a particularly odd journey to Luleå in Sweden. It began with a 25 minute late flight from Stansted, I was met by a train derailment in Arlanda but I did enjoy a taxi instead of a rail replacement bus. Then I had to negotiate with members of an extremely long security queue in order to board my Norwegian flight on time. Thanks to a few strokes of luck I arrived at my final destination but things could have gone badly wrong.This podcast is free, like my weekly newsletter. Subscribe to that here. Hosted on Acast.

Learn more about the Woodland Trust at woodlandtrust.org.uk Transcript You are listening to Woodland Walks, a podcast for the Woodland Trust, presented by Adam Shaw. We protect and plant trees for people to enjoy, to fight climate change and to help wildlife thrive. Adam: Well, today I am off to Hatfield Forest, which is the best-preserved medieval hunting forest in Europe, which has a very rich history stretching back, well, a very long time, some 2,000 years or so. Now, the forest itself is actually managed by the National Trust, but the Woodland Trust works very closely with them. In particular, the reason I'm going there is to look at and talk about ancient trees, their importance to people and landscape, and of course, how old you have to be to be ancient. Ian: My name is Ian Pease, and I'm one of the rangers here for the National Trust at Hatfield Forest. Adam: And so how long has your association been with this forest then? Ian: Well, it's getting on for 30 years. Adam: You're looking good on it. Ian: Thank you. Thank you. [Laughter] Adam: That's very cool. Now look I have met you by this extraordinary, well, is it a tree or is it two trees? Inaudible just describe where we are standing. Ian: So, we are standing just to the left of the entrance road as you come into the forest and this is a magnificent hornbeam, er and although, like you say Adam, it looks like it's two trees it is actually one. Adam: How do you, how do you know? Ian: Well, it's done what's called compartmentalise. So, what happens when trees get to this age –and this tree is without a doubt probably around 700 years old – is the heartwood falls away and you're left… Adam: The heartwood's in the middle? Ian: The heartwood, the heartwood in the centre falls away, and what you're left with is the living part of the tree, which is the sapwood and what you can see there is that what trees do, trees are very good at adapting when they get older. And they are generally very good at adapting throughout their lives. So, what has happened here is this tree has stabilised itself by compartmentalising, so sealed off these two halves to stabilise itself and you can also see what we call aerial roots starting to come down from the canopy which gives the tree the rigidity and strength. Adam: So, where is that? I can't see, let's have a look, what do you mean? Ian: Yeah, so let's have a closer look. Adam: I've never heard of aerial roots. Ian: You can see these structures… Adam: Yes, I see. Ian: …these structures are what we call aerial roots. Adam: Yeah, they do look like… but they're not in the ground, they're in the air. So where are they...? What function are they serving? Ian: Well, they're basically supporting the tree and what's happened here, this is an old pollard, so originally, they'd have been what we call bowling in the top there, and the roots would have gone down into that sort of composted material that was captured in the bowling, and as that's gradually fallen away that's what you're left with at the top there. Adam: So, these roots are supporting the tree as opposed to bringing it nutrients or anything? Ian: Well, they are supplying nutrients for it from this compost material… Adam: Oh, I see, which is still there. Ian: You can still see some of it there. What's happened obviously is as the trees aged, it's fallen through. Um and you can see the compartmentalisation on the edges there. A sort of almost callous effect. Adam: Well, amazing, well look I gotta get a photo of you by this which I will put on my Twitter account. Do you have a Twitter account? Ian: I haven't, but I've got Instagram and Facebook. Adam: I'm sure we'll put it on all of those things so you can see what Ian is talking about. Fantastic, well look, this is just the beginning. And you said it was the ancient way, the ancient tree way? The road? Ian: Er no this isn't the ancient way. This is, this is the vehicle accessway into the forest. But having said that Adam, there is stagecoaches who used to travel from the east heading to Bishop… sorry, heading down to London, would cut through Hatfield Forest to cut out Bishop Stortford. Adam: [laughter] Okay right. An ancient cut-through. There we are. Ian: That's it. Adam: There we are. Not quite up-to-date traffic news, [laughter] but if you're a time traveller, that's a bit of traffic news for you. Look, my first visit here, we've come on an amazing day, I'm very, very lucky. What would you suggest I look out for here? Ian: Well certainly if you go for a walk through… what I, what I sort of advise people to do is to go for a walk around the lake area to start with because that way as you go down to the lake area you go through the medieval landscape. And what's nice about the lake area is you've got the 1740s landscape, so that's the Capability Brown heart to the forest. He was employed here in the 1740s before the National Trust had the forest. It was owned by the Houblon family, and he developed, formed the lake down there and built a shell house next to the lake. So, you could almost go on a bit of a time travel, you know virtual time travel, by walking through this wood pasture where we are now amongst these stunning ancient trees. Take yourself into the 1740s and walk around the lake and then and then go from there. Adam: Brilliant. I'm heading off to the 1740s, what a fantastic bit of map reading that will be. Thank you very much, Ian. Really, really nice to see you. Ian: You're welcome, you're welcome. [Walking noise] Adam: Well, I'm just walking out actually, into a bit of open field here. Ooh look wild mushrooms… must avoid that. Don't want to trample on those. And beneath one of these trees is Tom from the Woodland Trust, and he is going to be my guide to the rest of this amazing forest. [Walking noise] Adam: So, Tom, I assume? Hi! What an amazing place, amazing place isn't it? Tom: An amazing place Adam, hi, nice to meet you. Adam: First of all, this is an unusual forest in terms of the Woodland Trust because it's actually the National Trust, but you sort of… this is a joint project or, explain the relationship? Why this is different? Tom: So, the National Trust and the Woodland Trust are both really passionate about seeing the protection of ancient and veteran trees, are interested in studying them and knowing where they are. So, when… we're here today because the National Trust and the Woodland Trust have been working together, well, for quite a few years actually, we've been working together to map ancient and veteran trees to our Ancient Tree Inventory. And also, in the past year and a half, we've also been working with the National Trust on a project called the Green Recovery Project, which was a Challenge Fund that we, both organisations, were working on. This was actually one of the sites, in fact, I was here just six months ago where I got to see first-hand some of the restoration work that was being done to some of these trees, some of the historic pollarded hornbeams for example. We got to see how they are now being managed and cared for here by the Trusts. Adam: And it is an amazing place. I mean we're lucky to be here on a great day. Oh! You can hear… we're near Stansted, so you might hear an airplane in the background there. Oh, but we've come out of this lovely, sort of, bit of woodland into this amazing open area here and it's, it does feel a very mixed sort of landscape doesn't it? Tom: Absolutely, I think if, if you're walking here with your dog or just on a fun day out, you might just think to yourself ‘ah this is a field or some nice trees here'. But actually, when you stop and look around you can see these living links to the past, and what we, walking through here is a medieval landscape where you've got a mixture of ancient trees, we can see some decaying oaks in the background over there. We've actually just walked past some large hornbeam pollards. So, these are trees that were working trees, hundreds of years ago that were managed as part of this landscape to provide timber for those who manage them, worked and lived in the area. So, to be able to walk past trees like that and, you know, to touch them – these living monuments – is just a real privilege. Well, we've got a mix here, we've got a mix of young trees, mature trees, ancient trees, and this area that we're stood on now is called, referred to as wood pasture because it was historically a wood landscape, where you had both a mix of livestock agriculture and also tree management as well. Adam: Well look, it's amazing just to our left there's two lovely trees, and I… I don't know what they are… but they're so lovely two people have stopped to take photos of them and I mean just a measure of how beautiful some of these, this landscape is. What… just a quick test… do you happen to know what that tree is? Tom: Yeah. So, we've got two, sort of, mature hawthorns there, so erm elsewhere in the forest there are actually some much older hawthorns… we have some ancient hawthorns here that would be several hundred years old. These are probably mature, probably over 100–150 years old… Adam: And they got lovely sort of red, red splattering over them. It just looks like someone's painted that, it's quite, quite an amazing sight. So, you talk about ancient trees. So what? What classifies a tree as ancient then? Because if [laugh] these were young and they're like 100 or something. So, what's ancient exactly? Tom: So, it's a great question. So ancient trees are those that are in their third and final life stage essentially. So, the sort of, the age at which we call different species ancient is different because different species have different life expectancies, and they have different growth rates. So, for example, if we look at yew trees, we make all those ancient from around about 400 to 500 years plus. If we look at hawthorn, for example, we would say they're probably ancient from around about 200 years of age. So, it does vary depending on which species you are referring to, but essentially the ancient phases, the third and final life stage… and very few trees actually live old enough to become ancient. It's only sites like this where the trees have been retained where, you know, these trees not been disturbed, they've not been felled, there's been no development here. So, these trees have survived in the landscape and been allowed to survive and that's why we can enjoy them today. So yeah, that's what an ancient tree is. Adam: And I mean, obviously there's almost a sentimental reason you, you don't want to destroy something which is 700 years old. But from an environmental perspective, do ancient trees offer the environment, do they offer animals something more than a younger tree does? Tom: Absolutely. I mean, I like to think of ancient trees as being like a living oasis for wildlife essentially. So, these are areas where you've got a huge variety of habitats both, you know, within like the tree structure, in the roots, in the canopy, even within like the heartwood and the hollows. So, ancient trees offer huge benefits for wildlife. Adam: But sorry, you're saying that's more… a 700-year-old tree would offer more environmental benefits than a 100-year-old tree. Is that what you're saying? Tom: Yeah, if you are comparing trees of the same species. Adam: So why is that? What is happening in that period that offers that benefit then? Tom: So, the reason really is owed to the decaying wood habitat. So as a tree ages, you get natural decay that's often caused by special heart rot fungi that can decay the tree. So, as it's standing it's decaying slowly over time, and by – that decaying wood – it kind of creates a load of microhabitats, so you get huge benefits for invertebrates. In fact, the site we're on today is one of the top ten sites in the UK for rare invertebrates because of the decaying wood habitats that are here. If you imagine a decaying tree with hollows and cavities and water pockets… imagine if you're an invertebrate, you know, you're such a small organism and you've got this huge ancient tree with all this variety of habitats. I mean you've essentially got… your whole world is in this tree, it's a whole universe of habitats. So, that's why they're important. Adam: So, it's quite poetic, isn't it? In its decay… the very fact it's decaying offers new life. Tom: Absolutely, exactly. So, they become, you know, just… they just transform into these oases for wildlife and it's owing to the decaying habitats that they have. Adam: And what's the oldest trees that you've got around here then? Tom: Yeah. Well, so some of these trees may well be in excess of 700 to 800 years of age. Adam: And are they yew? Because yew trees tend to last the longest don't they? Tom: Yeah. So, a lot of the oldest trees on this site will be pollards. So pollarding is where you cut the branches of a tree above head height. This was a historic, sort of, tree management practice – essentially the people who used to live and work here wanted to farm their livestock, and in order to make sure that they didn't, sort of, graze on the trees that they also used to harvest timber from, they were able to cut the tree above head height, typically above two metres in height. And what that does is quite two things. For the people managing these trees, it means that they can easily harvest the timber because in absence of power tools… imagine they were using hand tools and as the tree gets cut back it regrows into sort of finer, smaller stems that can be more easily harvested. Adam: And that's the sign of pollarding, isn't it? If you're a tree detective and you see these, sort of, small stems all coming up it's a sign it's been a pollarded tree. Tom: Absolutely, typically it will have, like, a fluted form cut around about two metres at head height and you'll see like a typical pollard knuckle, which is where you see all of these stems converging on the same point. But pollarding does actually bring some benefits to the tree as well and that's why some of the oldest trees here will be pollards because it has the effect of almost stabilising the tree. It means that the tree doesn't get too top-heavy and then collapses and dies. Instead, it keeps the trees more typically smaller and if they're regularly cut that keeps the tree in that stable form. So even the sort of the trees here which are, you know, extremely hollow, they look like, you know, how are they even still standing, because, like, what's supporting them? Because they're being managed as pollards. And then, you know, there are some sites where pollarding has stopped, you know, for example at Burnham Beeches is a site where you can see a lot of the pollards have not been pollarded for a long time and they've started to become top-heavy now, so and that presents a risk that you get greater wind loading and then they fall. So going back to what we were talking about the Green Recovery project that we are working on with the National Trust. And like I said, I was here six months ago, and we got to see some of the tree management here and we got to see some pollarding essentially. So, they were sort of cutting back the… some branches in the canopy to basically continue the pollarding management to try and replicate what was being done hundreds of years ago to make sure that these trees can survive for many years to come. Adam: Amazing that. Ian. Ian promised me some time travel. He pointed me towards the Capability Brown landscape. Do you know which way that is? Tom: Yeah, that would be straight back down the track. Adam: I was going to say, it's going the other way. Okay, but do you think we should head this way first? Tom: Yeah. Well, I mean, we can. We can go. Adam: I'm going with you. I'm going with you and will… I'm definitely going to see the Capability Brown later, but you lead me on. Tom: We can certainly make our way back there. Adam: So, tell me about where we're heading. Tom: So now we're just, we're walking through a sort of former medieval landscape. So, we've got a variety of trees here, we've got some oaks, we've got hawthorns, we've got field maples, we've got hornbeams. And if we're walking here, we can just see the sheer variety of trees in the landscape. So, when I'm walking through this landscape and I can't help but think about, you know, the people who were working here and living here and the way that this, the site, was managed. We can hear overhead planes are leaving Stansted Airport and I can only imagine what those people would have thought about that [laugh]. And it just, it just makes you think about the changes that this landscape has seen. And erm obviously the reason that we have ancient trees here is because this part of the landscape has remained unchanged. So, whilst there's been a lot of change around this site, this area has survived and that's ultimately enabled these trees to survive as well. Adam: Now you look after a lot of woodland. What separates this from lots of the other things that you've got an association with? Tom: So, I suppose what's really interesting about this site is that it's a former forest and then when we think about forests, people typically think about trees and they probably picture woodland, but actually… Adam: That's fair enough, isn't it? Tom: It's fair enough, but forest actually has a very different meaning in terms of the medieval sense. So, a forest was essentially an area of land that was subject to special hunting laws and these new areas were preserved really for the royals and, well, the royals and their sort of associates to hunt deer and enjoy riding through the landscape and they liked this kind of open landscape where the trees were kind of scattered. So, when you think of forests, like people typically think of dense woodland, but actually, it's more like this. It's big trees in a sort of sparse landscape where deer are allowed to run around, and the royals could be… were there on horseback sort of chasing them and hunting them. It was sort of a sport for them. And in a lot of sense, the commoners, if you like, were kept away from sites like this. An erm, but then the kind of, the legacy has been preserved. Adam: And it's interesting, isn't it, that because we think of these as natural places, they are natural places, that's what's important about them. But they're not unmanaged. It's not like the hand of man has not had a role in shaping this has very much been a man-made, a man-shaped environment. Is that fair? Tom: That's absolutely fair, yes. If I was… what's interesting when we look at ancient tree distribution more generally, there is a clear link between humans and where ancient trees are. So, for example, you might find ancient yew trees often in a churchyard setting, coz often…, well, ancient yews were respected by sort of earlier civilizations, the early Christians, even before that, the Druids respected ancient yews, which is why they've kind of been retained and associated with places of religious worship, you know, so there's always those kind of links between where humans have been and where ancient trees are now. And it just shows that really throughout history we've respected our trees, you know, other civilizations and cultures have respected these trees and you know, now we need to respect them too and continue their legacy. Adam: And I suppose one of the things that's striking for me is that although we are near Stansted, although it hasn't taken me long to drive from London, as far as you can see, you can't see anything. It's sort of trees for as far as you can see. It's a remarkable oasis in a rather heavily developed part of the UK. Tom: Absolutely. You know, to be able to come to this site only like an hour away from London is quite remarkable really, that places like this have survived. It's like a living outdoor museum almost. You know, you can go up to some of these trees, put your hand on them and these were the same trees that were being worked on over 500 years ago. You know… how many elements of nature can you say that about? You know, it's a remarkable privilege to be able to go and visit trees like that. That were managed hundreds of years ago. Adam: OK, now there is a suitable bench almost shaped fallen branch, so maybe we can head over there for a sit down and a chat. Tom: Sounds good. Hey, got some good sort of… at the top of the tree there, you've got something called retrenchment which is basically where the tree is dying back essentially. Adam: Right. Tom: So, over time like the canopy sort of reorganises itself. And then the tree kind of grows downward eventually. So, trees don't grow infinitely up and up and up, they tend to get… they die down and they get broader over time. Adam: So that's the sign of a change in its lifestyle… life stage sorry? Tom: Absolutely. Adam: So, we can see some sort of dead branches at the top that means it's coming into another stage, it's probably going to thicken out a bit. Tom: Exactly. Yeah. So, what I mean… what's happening essentially as the tree reaches a sort of theoretical maximum size… eventually, the tree can't transport that water from the roots. That kind of hydraulic action becomes limited. It can't pump water to the very top of the tree and so it, kind of, stops investing in those branches. It's grown to a good height, it doesn't need to compete with other trees around it, so it starts to reorganise itself. And those branches at the top start to die back and instead the tree invests in some of those like low… what were lower branches and they become more dominant, and the tree becomes broader in profile. The trunk becomes much wider as well. So, it's a typical sign of an ancient tree that they will typically have a large girth for their species. Like the trunk will have a large circumference for its species. That's like a key sign. Adam: Alright, look, this isn't… I can't quite sit on this one, but this is a very very pleasant place to stop. So, one of the big projects from the Woodland Trust is this Ancient Tree Inventory and I think you're sort of… you're in charge of that. So, what is that? Why is it important? Tom: So, the Ancient Tree Inventory is a citizen science project. So it's something that anyone can take part in and essentially what it seeks to do is to map ancient, veteran and notable trees across the UK to an online interactive map that everyone can, sort of, see, use, and enjoy. It started as a project called the Ancient Tree Hunt and essentially it was just to get ancient trees on the radar really, to get people inspired by them, to get people out there recording them. And in that project alone they mapped over 100,000 trees. But since then, it continued under the name of the Ancient Tree Inventory, and we're continuing to map trees on a daily basis. So, we have a network of volunteers around the UK who are more expert volunteers who are called verifiers, and what they are doing is going out and checking trees that members of the public have added. So, if people have been on a walk and have seen a big tree or a tree that looks like it's old – might be ancient, might be veteran – they add it to the map, that gets recorded as an unverified tree and then one of our volunteer verifiers comes along, they'll visit the tree and they'll assess whether they think it's an ancient tree or a veteran or a notable. They'll also maybe take some extra measurements of the tree, they'll check that it's been recorded in the right place and that the species has been identified correctly, things like that. Essentially what we're trying to do with the Ancient Tree Inventory, as well as raising awareness about ancient and veteran trees, is also, erm, our role in terms of research and understanding their current distribution. But also, from their protection point of view, the Ancient Tree Inventory is actually a really useful resource for the likes of people doing environmental impact assessments. So, we get a lot of requests for data from ecological consultants, from arboriculture consultants, even the local authorities that want to know where are the most significant ancient and veteran trees in their county or on a particular site, so that that can then be used to help inform, you know, planning decisions and, you know, we'd like to think that that is going to grow more that when, for example, there's a development or, you know, some sort of proposed change to an area that people will consult the Ancient Tree Inventory and they'll consider, sort of, changing plans if ancient or veteran trees are going to be harmed. We really just want to make sure that there is no loss… further loss of ancient and veteran trees essentially. Adam: And what sort of protection do ancient trees have? Do they have… like a listed building you get listed protection so you can't mess around with it. You can't knock it down, can't alter it. Does a 700-year-old tree get the same protection as a 700-year-old piece of brick? Tom: Well, I'm afraid to say the answer to that is no. So, none of the ancient trees, don't have any legal protection in the UK. As you say, some of our most treasured monuments and buildings benefit from scheduled monument status, but for ancient trees which may be of, at least the same age if not older, they don't have any protection. In fact, I remember on a recent visit to a churchyard where we went to see a really remarkable ancient yew tree, I think someone jokingly said at the time that the wood in the beams of that church are probably more protected than the wood in the trunk of that ancient yew tree. And that, kind of, really opened my mind to that whole debate on making that comparison between built heritage monuments and ancient trees. And we really want to see ancient trees be more considered as features of our cultural heritage, archaeological heritage, you know, they really are these living monuments and we need to look after them. Adam: Do you get a sense that public opinion is swinging in that direction to support ancient trees? Tom: Yeah, I think it is. I mean, you know, based on my role of working on the Ancient Tree Inventory, I've the fortune of speaking to members of the public about their ancient trees. And we do get lots of concern expressed to the Woodland Trust about, you know, what's happening to ancient and veteran trees in their area. But there is actually something that we're doing at the moment at the Trust which is our Living Legends campaign that launched earlier this year. So, we're actually making an attempt to gain stronger protection for ancient and veteran trees. We have a petition that's live at the moment and the campaign has a lot of different activities happening at the moment, but one of the headline things anyone can do is sign our petition where we're calling for stronger legal protection, for that to be reflected in policy so that there is basically legal protection to stop any harm to the trees. Adam: Okay. So, if someone's interested in being a volunteer and, sort of, adding to that inventory, how do they go about it? Tom: Yeah, so anyone can take part in the Ancient Tree Inventory. All they need to do is go to the Ancient Tree Inventory website where they'll be able to register, and they'll be able to create a free account. Essentially that means that when you sign into your account, you can just record the trees. The main things that you'll need to record are things like, you know, where the tree is so you take like a grid reference. Erm, if you can record the girth of the tree – so, this is the circumference of the tree – of the trunk itself… Adam: So, you need a long tape measure? Tom: Yeah, we typically suggest having a tape measure around about 10 metres where you can often get like a surveyor's tape from your local hardware store for example. And you can measure the trunk, normally about one and a half metres from ground level for consistency. You're really looking for the narrowest girth of this trunk. So, if the tree has like a big, sort of, burr, or if there's like a low hanging branch, then just record underneath it to try and get the narrowest measurement. So that… and that's essentially the most technical elements. If you can just record as well the species of the tree, whether it's on public or private land, do make sure to record some photos as well. The key things that we're really interested in looking at with a tree when we're assessing whether it's ancient or veteran is our veteran features or decay features. So, these are the kind of decaying wood habitats, for example, if the tree is hollowing, if the tree has decaying branches… so the tree behind me here has some deadwood in the top of the crown – this is what we call retrenchment. And any other kind of deadwood cavities, water pockets, holes, that sort of thing is all great to capture, both in the record itself, but also in the images too. Obviously, the more that people can tell us about trees, the more we know. And then it makes it a much more valuable resource. So, we always encourage people to submit as much information as they can. Adam: And if I mean like me, I'm very bad at spotting tree types. If you don't, if you see an old tree and you think I wanna record that, but I don't know what sort of tree it is, is that a problem or can you just go look, here's a photo, you'll probably know better than I do? Tom: Yeah. So, it is possible to record the species as unsure. It might be that you know that it's an oak, but you're not sure if it's pedunculate or sessile, so you can just record it as oak. We have a network of volunteer verifiers who are sort of ancient tree experts who will check… Adam: Check your homework for you. Tom: Yeah, exactly. Adam: And if you can't spot the tree type, there is actually a Woodland Trust app, isn't there? Tom: Yeah, that's right Adam, we have a… the Woodland Trust has a species identification app that you can use as well. The good thing is that for our ancient trees, most of the time they are actually native. So, the common native species are typically going to be, you know, oaks, beech, ash, hornbeam, yew trees. So, you know, these are species that most people are quite familiar with cause they tend to be native. Adam: We should do a podcast on that, sort of, how to spot the top five native UK trees. An idea for another podcast… you may be dragged back into this. Fantastic. Tom: Sounds good. [Pause] Adam: So, we've been walking through a beautiful sort of woodland glade, a very covered area. And what is typical of this particular site is that you do come out into so many different landscapes and so we've come out into this very open area, all of a sudden with this extraordinarily large lake. I think there's something suspiciously like a tearoom next door which might attract my attention in a moment… and a couple of seats finally to sit down. So, Tom, now… It's a beautiful place. I mean we're, we're... The weeds rustling in the wind, framing the lake in front of us… There's some ducks and some rowing boats and this is a wonderful place. But I… the feature here is ancient woodland, so is there a way of sort of measuring the value of a particular tree? Do you… is it very just sort of thumb in the air, sort of thing, in the wind… or is there a more scientific approach you can take? Tom: Yeah, I think there are lots of ways in which different people value their ancient trees and so one acronym we tend to use to capture, sort of, the main themes of why we value our ancient trees, can be thought of as ABC. So that stands for aesthetic value, biological value and cultural value. There is also historical value, which I'll talk about in a moment, but think about, sort of, aesthetic value and why our ancient trees are important, you know, can you imagine, sort of, walking through the landscape that we're walking today without the ancient trees? They do provide, like the character of this site, you know, walking and seeing these big hollowing living monuments – they're almost like sculptures. And, you know, not just on these sorts of sites, but if you think of what would our churchyards look like without our ancient yews? Or what would our hedgerows look like without those old hawthorn trees? Or what would our, sort of, the Highlands of Scotland look like without those, kind of remarkable lone standing-proud alders, and rowans and hollies that are like really typical of that landscape? So, because ancient trees form, like, a really important part of the overall character of our landscape that's one way in which we value them. The other way, of course, is biologically, so they provide immense habitat variety for wildlife and a single tree can support thousands of species and that's owing to the decaying wood habitats that they have. So as a tree ages it naturally hollows, starts to break down, you get hollowing in the branches, in the trunk, you get hollowing around the base of the tree – what we call buttressing. All of these create pockets and habitats and even microhabitats for wildlife, so it can be used by a range of organisms from birds to reptiles, to mammals like squirrels, badgers. For example, with birds, as well, owls will use them, they will actually use the cavities found in the canopies of ancient trees, they make their nests. Same for woodpeckers, which will use decaying wood to make their nests and bore for invertebrates. And of course, the invertebrates themselves – the opportunities provided to invertebrates by ancient trees is remarkable. There's a special term to describe invertebrates that depend on decaying wood, and that word is saproxylic. So, saproxylic invertebrates are those which depend on this decaying wood for a part of their life cycle. And then there is also the cultural value that we place on our ancient trees. Adam: So, that's the C. Tom: That's the C in our ABC. Adam: So, tell me about the cultural values. Now actually… that must be a hard thing to measure? Tom: Absolutely so, it's not always clear, in fact, that some trees you may walk past and not know that that tree has been, or you know what it's seen in its life and how other people in the past have interacted with it. For example, ancient trees in the churchyards, so it is often that you find ancient yew trees linked with former sites of religious worship because the… our early ancestors, the druids, and the sort of, early Christians had a… they saw, essentially, ancient yew trees as a deity, they worshipped them, they respected them. And as a result, those ancient yews persisted in that landscape. Adam: The cultural aspect, there's a cultural aspect, but there is also, it doesn't run from the alphabet [inaudible] ABC H, there's an H isn't there? A historical reference here, because these trees have been around for 700 years, 1000 years – kings and queens will have wandered under these trees, important decisions would have been made. Historic really, really historic decisions would be made. And under the boughs of these trees. Tom: Absolutely. And so, there are some trees around UK which we refer to as heritage trees that have… that we know have bared witness to some important historical moments. Or that well-known historical figures that visited those trees. For example, we have the Queen Elizabeth Oak or we have the Tolpuddle Martyrs' Tree which is thought to bear witness to the start of the trade union movement in the 1800s, and we have the Ankerwycke Yew that bared witness to the signing of the Magna Carta by King John, under that very tree. And it's still there today, a tree that is over 2,000 years old has, you know, such important historical values – irreplaceable in fact. That is probably the one word that we would like people to associate with trees – is the word irreplaceable. Because if that tree was to be lost, you would lose all of that historical reference. Adam: Fantastic. You know this site well, I mean you've come a long way to see me today, so I'm super pleased and very grateful for the guide. But I know you love this place, don't you? Tom: Absolutely. I need no excuse to come here. I think it just feels like walking back in history essentially. And there's just an amazing variety of trees. Yeah, I could just spend the whole week here. Adam: I think my family might miss me in a week, but who knows? They might not… they might not notice. But they're certainly not going to notice for the rest of day, so I'm going to take the rest of the day here. Thank you very much.

La semana pasada el aeropuerto londinense de Heathrow pidió a las aerolíneas que dejen de vender billetes de vuelos que se dirijan allí. Londres tiene otros aeropuertos como Gatwick o Stansted, pero están igualmente saturados. En el continente las cosas no están mejor. Aeropuertos como el de Schiphol en Ámsterdam, el de Bruselas o el de Fráncfort están al límite de su capacidad. Algo similar sucede en Estados Unidos donde las terminales de Newark o Atlanta están cerca del colapso. Como resultado, los retrasos, las cancelaciones y las pérdidas de equipaje se suceden para disgusto de los pasajeros. Para el próximo mes de agosto las aerolíneas de todo el mundo han cancelado ya más de 25.000 vuelos, de lo que 15.000 se corresponden a vuelos en Europa. Puede parecer mucho, pero 15.000 vuelos representan tan sólo el 2% de todos los vuelos programados para el mes. En Estados Unidos en lo que llevamos de verano se han cancelado ya el 3% de los vuelos programados. Para evitarse problemas, la mayor parte de aerolíneas han reducido frecuencias por falta de personal. Se han producido, además, huelgas en algunas aerolíneas como la escandinava SAS o la irlandesa Ryanair, y en aeropuertos como el Charles de Gaulle de París. El problema tiene varias causas. La primera y más inmediata es la recuperación completa de la movilidad tras dos años de confinamientos y restricciones motivados por la pandemia. Este de 2022 iba a ser el primer verano normal desde 2019 y muchos fueron los que planearon tomar un avión para pasar sus vacaciones lejos de casa. Eso pilló a las aerolíneas y a los aeropuertos escasos de personal. Todo ha sido muy rápido y no les ha dado tiempo a rehacer sus plantillas, que habían quedado muy reducidas en los dos últimos años. Encontrar trabajadores no está siendo fácil. Muchos de los que trabajaban en un aeropuerto o en una aerolínea y tienen experiencia en ello están ahora empleados en otras empresas. Tanto los antiguos trabajadores como nuevos piden salarios más altos porque la inflación se ha disparado a ambos lados del Atlántico. Para colmo de males el combustible se ha encarecido notablemente. Las aerolíneas se encuentran con que tienen que pagar más a sus empleados y mucho más por llenar las alas, lo que ha hecho subir de forma consistente el precio de los billetes. Pero eso no ha frenado, al menos por ahora, la demanda. Hay empleo y muchas ganas de viajar. La reducción de frecuencias está haciendo el resto. Volar se ha convertido en algo caro e incómodo. Como sucede siempre, el mercado se terminará por ajustar, pero no lo hará hasta pasado verano, entretanto, los que quieran volar tendrán que lidiar con el caos y los sobreprecios.

In this episode, Anita talks about what Animal Communication is NOT!Anita is a Psychic Medium and  Animal Communicator with over 20 years of experience. She has worked as a professional dog trainer and is a kennel club assessor, based in Essex, London.Anita studied at The Arthur Findlay College, in Stansted, where she is now an approved SNU Healer and a holder of PAS.Anita's passion is her dogs, where she shares her home with 8 of them!Animal communication is not 'Mind Control' - you cannot control the mind of an animal, and tell it what to do. I can't “tell your animal” to do, or not do something, any more than I could tell YOU to do or not do something.During my years working as a dog trainer and now as an animal communicator, I am asked to tell:Cats to stop bringing in their preyDogs to stop chasingI share my life with a number of different breed types, now if I call my Doberman to return, he does so immediately, my hounds, on the other hand, do not!Animal communication is not a substitute for clear and humane training and behaviour management.We still have to do the work of species-appropriate training and behaviour modification, hopefully using positive reinforcement practices that support and respect the animal's sentience, awareness, perspective, and innate nature.Animal Communication is not a way to diagnose an animal's illness.Diagnosing or prescribing treatment is out of bounds of an animal communicator unless the animal communicator is also a qualified veterinarian. It is actually illegal within, most places to practice veterinary medicine without a license!As an animal communicator, I can share with you the symptoms from the animal's perspective, and communicate with the animal about their perspective or understanding of their situation.For example, if they are aware of how they were injured, the location and quality of their pain, what makes them feel better or worse, etc.As a Reiki Master trained in energy healing I can also share with you what I perceive about energetic imbalances, areas of vulnerability or strengths.I need superpowers to be able to communicate with animals!NO, we are ALL born with the ability to communicate with every living thing, animals, plants, the environment, and one another.Anita xTO LEARN MORE ABOUT ANITA:Home ⋆ Anita Denise Psychic MediumFacebook: anitadenisepsychicanimalcommunicatorInstagram: anitadenise1Dive in and listen to this week's episode and share with your community.  I would love to hear your feedback

For anyone who doesn't remember the incredible story of the Stansted 15 - they are a group of human rights activists who organised a non-violent action to stop a deportation flight leaving from Stansted on the night of the 28 March 2017.The plane they stopped from leaving the UK was chartered by the UK Home Office to deport 60 people to Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Amongst these people were several victims of human trafficking. Most deportations in the UK take place on normal scheduled flights with other passengers not being deported, but up to 2,000 people a year are deported on these secretive mass deportation flights, specifically chartered by the Home Office. They take place at night, and the passengers are often shackled in chains and waist restraint belts or leg restraints. This is what the Stansted 15 wanted to expose. Their aim was to stop these charter flights from happening altogether.What actually happened after that day, was the group were arrested, and instead of being charged with aggravated trespassing, the usual charge for a non-violent action like this at an airport, they were charged with terrorism charges carrying a maximum sentence of life in prison. Almost two years after the action they endured a 10-week-trial and were initially found guilty, but this conviction was eventually overturned in January of this year and their names were cleared.Very importantly, as a result of their action, 11 of those 60 people due to be deported that night, now legally live in the UK. To me, thats a huge success. I closely followed this story as it was unfolding and have always wanted to talk to a member of this group. I've just always thought it was an absolutely incredible thing to do. So I reached out to a few of them for this episode and got the general sense that this whole process had taken a huge emotional toll on them all, and they were busy trying to rebuild a sense of normality.But one member of the group, Mel, was happy to meet me and invited me to her house. I was immediately totally enamoured by her as soon we met and we spent the afternoon together chatting, she made us sandwiches and we went for a walk in the forest. Mel has a real sense of calm and a sweetness and strength about her that hopefully comes through in this conversation.

For our first ever guest episode, we are thrilled to talk to Ali & Nick of the Stansted 15 about their 2017 action to halt the deportation of sixty migrants on a chartered flight to West Africa. We discuss the long-protracted, legal battle against the state which they recently won, ask whether or not shoes should be classified as 'devices', and question the wider implications this case could have on protest in the UK. Join us as we delve into the hostile environment - from New Labour to the scapegoating of migrants during the pandemic, and Britain's continued failings at reckoning with its colonial past, as we try to comprehend how we got here as well as how we can resist the racist border regime. /// SHOW NOTES /// /// Credits /// Hosts: Aranyo Aarjan /// Nikita Guests: Ali Tamlit /// Nick Sigsworth Music: Cardio
