The War Between the Land and the Sea premiered on BBC One on 7 December 2025 with its first two episodes, and is scheduled to be released on Disney+ in 2026.

Episodes No. Title Directed by Written by Original release date UK viewers (millions) [2] 1 "Homo Aqua" Dylan Holmes Williams Russell T Davies 7 December 2025 4.31 Transport clerk Barclay Pierre-Dupont is contacted by UNIT after the discovery and killing of a Homo Aqua by fishermen. The creature that had been discovered at sea is recaptured by its own kind, killing two UNIT soldiers in the process. UNIT immediately initiate first contact between the two species. Both agree to a treaty of peace, and the Homo Aqua simultaneously reveal their presence to humanity worldwide, desiring to speak to all humans. A meeting is set up in London and several members of the Homo Aqua are seen for the first time. They introduce their humanoid ambassador, Salt, who requests that Barclay serves as the human ambassador. Barclay agrees. 2 "Plastic Apocalypse" Dylan Holmes Williams Pete McTighe 7 December 2025 3.56 Kate Lethbridge-Stewart, the commander-in-chief of UNIT, agrees to work with Barclay to carry out diplomatic negotiations with Homo Aqua, who wish for worldwide pollution to cease. Barclay's estranged family is brought into UNIT custody for safety while UNIT scientists examine eggs breed by the Homo Aqua that had been affected by pollution. At the next meeting, Salt requests water from the River Thames for Barclay to drink. Due to the water's contamination, Barclay refuses and, against UNIT instruction, chooses to acknowledges humanity's mistakes instead. Humanity presents a plan to reduce pollution within forty years, which Salt disagrees with. In response, a storm releases all the plastic from the world's waters back onto land. When world leaders challenge Salt, Barclay agrees to meet with the Homo Aqua under the Atlantic Ocean in the Romanche Gap. 3 "The Deep" Dylan Holmes Williams Pete McTighe 14 December 2025 TBD A UNIT team, consisting of Barclay, General Austin Pierce, Min Tso, Captain Louise Mackey, and diplomatic representatives Ravi Singh and Ted Campbell, are assembled for the underwater meeting; Campbell brings a globe as a gift for Salt. During their submarine descent, Kate meets at Downing Street with Prime Minister Harry Shaw and General Oscar Gunsberg with tensions rising over who owns the world's water. A new war plan named "Severance" is prepared without the knowledge of UNIT. Under the water, the submarine team exit into an environment created for them by the Sea Devils. UNIT colonel Cristofer Ibrahim is assassinated while with Kate on the surface, by an unknown assailant. Once the submarine team are stood in front of the Homo Aqua assembly, Campbell presents the globe as a gift, only to reveal that he is a mole and the globe is a concealed bomb which he detonates. 4 "The Witch of the Waterfall" Dylan Holmes Williams Pete McTighe 14 December 2025 TBD The entire submarine crew, with the exception of Barclay, are killed by the detonation. As Salt safely returns Barclay to land, a deepfake video of her is shown to the public, threatening any human who enters the water. Salt is captured by UNIT, until Barclay rescues her, both immediately becoming fugitives. Shaw is pressured into moving forward with Severance, spearheaded by Gunsberg. Meanwhile, Kate meets Salt's successor, Tide, who informs Downing Street that Salt is considered a traitor for saving a human and is subject to execution. Salt and Barclay go on the run from both UNIT and Severance while Kate struggles to cope with the death of Ibrahim. Barclay contacts his wife Barbara and requests they rendezvous with a vehicle on Lambeth Bridge, with a plan to meet an ally in North Wales and attempt contact with Kate. They are ambushed by UNIT and Severance operatives. When it is revealed that the video of Salt is a deepfake, Kate orders UNIT to fire at Severance just as Salt releases a vocal high-pitched shriek, giving her time to escape into the Thames. In retaliation, Tide threatens to use rust to end humanity. 5 "The End of the War" Dylan Holmes Williams Russell T Davies 21 December 2025 TBD Disagreements continue to occur over the melting ice. Kate hallucinates Colonel Ibrahim. She requests her therapist for an increase of her prescription for paroxetine, but is threatened with being signed off. Kate bribes her in response. Barclay is medically assessed and begins secret nightly visits to Herne Bay, calling for Salt in the sea. Kate presses Prime Minister Shaw for information about the word 'severance', who denies having any knowledge of it. After blocking a signal disruptor used to prevent Salt contacting Barclay, they finally meet. Salt tells Barclay to use the word 'accord', which has ancient meaning. Barclay informs Kate and they plan to disguise the message throughout the oceans. Dead Sea Devils begin to show up at shores and at the surface of lakes, rivers and oceans throughout the world. Kate deduces that this is Severance. At Downing Street it is revealed that the virus is engineered to only affect nine out of every ten Sea Devils. The Sea Devils surrender and inform humanity that they have won the war, but to be wary of water in the future. Kate drives Barclay to the sea, who finds Salt there. Salt gives Barclay gills, and they swim away together. A man drops a plastic bottle, who after refusing to pick it up, Kate threatens with a gun. Production Development In July 2024, Deadline Hollywood reported a new Doctor Who spin-off titled The War Between the Land and the Sea was set to begin filming in September.[3] Russell T Davies confirmed later that month at San Diego Comic Con that production would begin in August.[4] Produced by Bad Wolf and BBC Studios, Davies served as executive producer along with Pete McTighe, Joel Collins, Julie Gardner, and Jane Tranter.[5][6] Edoardo Ferretti took on the role of television producer with pre-production underway by July 2024.[7] Casting Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw lead the series with Jemma Redgrave and Alexander Devrient reprising their roles from Doctor Who as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Colonel Ibrahim, respectively.[1][8] Tovey and Mbatha-Raw previously played Alonso Frame and Tish Jones in Doctor Who.[9] Ruth Madeley also returns from Doctor Who, playing Shirley Anne Bingham. Colin McFarlane reprises his role as General Austin Pierce, a character first introduced and last seen fifteen years prior in the third series of Torchwood, another Doctor Who spin-off.[10] Adrian Lukis, Patrick Baladi, Vincent Franklin, Francesca Corney and Mei Mac were announced as additional cast members in October 2024.[11] Writing The five-part series was written by Davies and Pete McTighe.[12] According to McTighe, Davies had already devised the series' concept and scripted its first episode prior to writing the 60th anniversary specials of Doctor Who,[13] which marked the beginning of his second tenure on the series as writer and showrunner. After McTighe delivered the first draft of "Lucky Day", his episode of the fifteenth series of Doctor Who (and third for the show as a whole), Davies asked him to collaborate on the remainder of the spin-off in 2023.[13] The two split writing duties across the programme, with Davies writing the finale in addition to his existing opening script, and McTighe the second, third and fourth episodes; Davies initially stated he had co-written the fourth with McTighe,[14] but was subsequently not co-credited in the episode itself.[15] Following filming wrapping on series 15 of Doctor Who, the first read-through for all five episodes occurred on 19 August 2024.[7] Filming Some filming took place internationally, including on Mallorca.[16] All episodes were produced in one block, compared to the two to three blocks that would usually be used for five episodes.[17] Location shooting began on 29 August 2024 in Barry and Atlantic Wharf, both in south Wales. Filming continued into September in various locations across Wales, including at the Welsh Government Building, City Arms pub, Hodge House, and Merthyr Mawr. In October, the series was spotted filming at Cardiff City Hall and National Museum Cardiff. November filming occurred

    Le bac de la Lobaye, trait d'union historique entre la Centrafrique et la RDC

    En Centrafrique, un simple bac est devenu, au fil des décennies, bien plus qu'un moyen de traverser la rivière Lobaye. Depuis 1965, la liaison entre Mongoumba, en Centrafrique, et Betou, en RDC, relie chaque jour deux villes frontalières… et deux peuples. Camions de marchandises, véhicules, motos, passagers : tous empruntent cette traversée qui fait circuler produits, services et espoirs entre les deux pays. Malgré son ancienneté et des moyens modestes, ce bac reste un symbole vivant pour la région. Une activité tenue par les jeunes de la localité qui en ont fait à la fois une source de revenus et un véritable vecteur du désenclavement.  De notre correspondant de retour de Mongoumba, À l'aube, lorsque la brume flotte encore au-dessus de la Lobaye, les premiers voyageurs apparaissent sur la rive, silhouettes tranquilles dans la lumière naissante. Ici, pour la traverser, on emprunte le bac : une plateforme en bois et en métal, portée par la force du courant, guidée par des conducteurs comme Sylvestre : « Ce bac c'est toute ma vie. Un métier simple et essentiel. Je transporte des véhicules, des camions et des cargaisons entières. Certains traversent pour aller faire du commerce, d'autres rejoignent leur famille, il y a également ceux qui partent au travail. » Le vacarme du moteur se mêle aux conversations. Femmes, hommes et enfants montent les uns après les autres. Chacun avec sa raison de traverser la rivière, mais le passage est le même pour tous. Bernice est une agricultrice. « Ce bac est comme un vieil ami pour moi. Sans lui, je ne suis rien. Mon champ se trouve de l'autre côté, et le bac est le seul moyen pour m'y rendre. Je monte toujours à bord avec mes paniers. Durant la récolte, c'est grâce à ce bac que j'achemine tous mes produits vers les grandes villes et les marchés. » Cohésion entre les habitants Lorsque le bac s'éloigne de la rive, un silence particulier s'installe. Tout le monde regarde l'eau. L'ombre des arbres se reflète sur la surface fluide. La dépendance à ce bac préoccupe Léopold Kossolo, le chef du village de Bac-Lobé-Yapo. « Ce bac est pratiquement le seul dans la région. S'il tombe en panne, toutes les villes alentour se retrouveront isolées les unes des autres. Ce bac renforce la cohésion entre les habitants, il nous rapproche. Bien sûr, il existe des pirogues, mais leurs capacités sont limitées. Il serait plus simple d'installer deux bacs ici et pourquoi pas de construire un pont sur la rivière. » Soudain, l'autre bord apparaît. Les premiers enfants accourent, et l'agitation reprend. Les passagers débarquent, chacun reprenant sa route, laissant derrière eux la courte traversée qui, pourtant, rythme le quotidien de toute une région. « Le bac a plus de 40 ans. Tout le monde sait que la rivière Lobaye est très profonde. Pour éviter tout drame ou naufrage, il est nécessaire de procéder à sa réhabilitation complète et, si possible, d'installer des équipements de sauvetage en cas d'accident. Chaque jour, des centaines de personnes font des allers-retours à cet endroit », explique Léopold Kossolo. La construction d'un pont sur la rivière Lobaye est en cours. Elle s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet du corridor 13, un programme de construction routière reliant la République du Congo, la RCA et le Tchad, financé par la Banque africaine de développement (BAD).

    In this episode of The Moos Room, Brad dives into a landmark new study examining the effects of short- and long-distance transport on the health, survival, and growth of pre-weaned dairy and dairy–beef crossbred calves. Drawing on data from nearly 392,000 calves across multiple farms and transport durations (ranging from 30 minutes to 24 hours), the study challenges common assumptions about calf transport. Surprisingly, mortality upon arrival was extremely low and unaffected by transport length. Differences in mortality by weaning (60 days) were also modest and, importantly, were driven far more by early-life factors than by time spent on the truck.The discussion highlights colostrum management as the single most critical factor influencing calf outcomes. Calves fed two colostrum meals had higher serum protein levels, significantly lower rates of failure of passive transfer, and were about 50% less likely to develop diarrhea—one of the leading causes of pre-weaning mortality. Other key drivers of calf survival included diarrhea, pneumonia, dam parity, gestation length, and birth season, with transport duration explaining relatively little of the variation in outcomes. Brad emphasizes that a calf's “destiny is largely sealed before the wheels start rolling,” underscoring that management decisions made at birth—especially colostrum feeding, dam health, and environmental stress mitigation—matter far more than transport distance alone.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Poultry farms were hit so badly in 2022 that many farmers brought in contingency plans to cope with the possibility of the disease striking them.Rural roads are significantly more dangerous than urban ones. The latest figures from the Department for Transport show that 956 people were killed in 2024, that's 72% more than on urban roads.

    In this episode, we crack open the world of ILA (In-Line Amplifier) huts, those unassuming shelters are quietly powering fiber connectivity. Like mini utility substations of the fiber world, these small, secure, and distributed facilities keep internet, voice, and data networks running reliably, especially over long distances or in developing areas. From the analog roots of signal amplification to today's digital optical technologies, this conversation explores how ILAs are redefining long-haul fiber transport. We'll discuss how these compact, often rural, mini data centers are engineered and built to boost light signals across vast distances. But it's not just about the tech. There are real-world challenges to deploying ILAs: from acquiring land in varied environments, to coordinating civil construction often built in isolation. You'll learn why site selection is as much about geology and permitting as it is about signal loss, and what factors can make or break an ILA deployment. We also explore the growing role of hyperscalers and colocation providers in driving ILA expansion, adjacent revenue opportunities, and what ILA facilities can mean for the future of rural connectivity. Tune in to find out how the pulse of long-haul fiber is beating louder than ever.

    En Haïti, alors que les attaques des gangs ne cessent de s'étendre, les transports en commun fonctionnent de plus en plus difficilement. De nombreux chauffeurs de tap-tap (des taxis collectifs) ont été assassinés par des groupes armés. D'autres ne peuvent plus effectuer leur circuit habituel, à cause des affrontements entre groupes armés ou des péages installés par les gangs pour rançonner les conducteurs et les passagers. En ce vendredi matin de décembre, la gare routière où se rend Junior, un habitant de la commune de Carrefour (au sud de la capitale Port-au-Prince), est paralysée après un appel lancé par les chefs de gangs. «Les groupes armés [...] installent des postes de péage un peu partout afin de contraindre les chauffeurs à payer, explique-t-il à Peterson Luxama, correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince. Cela entraîne une hausse du coût du transport. Si auparavant un trajet coûtait 50 gourdes [environ 30 centimes d'euros], il faut désormais en payer 150», soit près d'un euro. Les conducteurs voient leurs revenus baisser et dénoncent le manque de soutien des autorités haïtiennes. «Nous ne savons plus à quel saint nous vouer, la situation est extrêmement difficile», déplore Méhu Changeux, responsable de l'Association des Propriétaires et Chauffeurs d'Haïti. «Beaucoup de nos véhicules ont été incendiés, des groupes armés volent les voitures et s'en prennent violemment à nos chauffeurs, mais nous n'entendons jamais de réaction de l'État. Pas même un fonds de garantie n'a été mis à la disposition des chauffeurs pour leur permettre de se relever. L'État nous abandonne, malgré les multiples appels à l'aide lancés par les associations de transporteurs», s'indigne-t-il. Haïti : le viol, une «arme de guerre omniprésente» Le Miami Herald publie cette semaine une série d'articles sur la hausse «alarmante» des cas de viols en Haïti. «Dans les quartiers contrôlés par les gangs, la question n'est pas de savoir si les femmes et les filles seront violées, mais quand», écrit Jacqueline Charles qui, depuis un an, a mené des dizaines d'interviews avec des survivantes et des associations ou centres de santé spécialisés sur les violences sexuelles. «Les viols ne sont pas un phénomène nouveau en Haïti», souligne le journal, surtout en période de crise. Mais le quotidien de Floride parle cette fois d'une «épidémie» tant les cas ont augmenté à mesure que les gangs augmentent leur emprise sur le pays et que les habitants sont forcés de fuir pour vivre dans des camps de déplacés. Un viol a lieu dans le pays «toutes les deux heures». Mais les chiffres dont on dispose (calculés par les Nations unies notamment), sont très probablement «sous-estimés», expliquent les associations d'aide aux victimes interviewées par le Miami Herald. Près de 20% des victimes sont des enfants. Les survivantes sont « stigmatisées », « blamées » par leur propre « communauté voire par leur propre famille », notamment quand elles tombent enceintes après avoir été violées, souligne le quotidien, qui rappelle aussi que l'avortement est illégal en Haïti, même pour les mineures survivantes de viols. Le Docteur Jean William Pape, à la tête des centres GHESKIO, qui accueille des survivantes de violences sexuelles parle d'une «génération perdue». Les associations sont démunies, sous-financées, en particulier depuis que le président des États-Unis, Donald Trump, a fermé cette année l'USAID, l'agence d'aide au développement, remarque le Miami Herald.   Chili : ces jeunes qui votent pour l'extrême-droite Au Chili, le second tour de l'élection présidentielle se tient ce dimanche 14 décembre 2025. Jeannette Jara, issue du Parti Communiste et qui représente une large coalition de gauche, est arrivée en tête du premier tour avec 26% des voix. Elle affrontera un candidat d'extrême-droite, José Antonio Kast (24%), ancien parlementaire de 59 ans. Selon les sondages, ce dernier pourrait remporter l'élection grâce à l'union des droites et à une campagne centrée sur les questions de sécurité, de lutte contre l'immigration illégale. Un discours qui séduit dans toutes les strates de la population, même chez une partie des jeunes. Cette génération, née en démocratie, n'a pas connu les années de dictature (1973-1990), une période que le candidat d'extrême droite se remémore avec nostalgie, lui qui a toujours défendu l'ancien dictateur, le général Augusto Pinochet. «Pour avancer il faut laisser tout ça derrière nous», balaye Fernanda, 22 ans, étudiante en droit rencontrée à La Florida, une banlieue de classe moyenne de la capitale chilienne par Naïla Derroisné. Des militaires sont entrés chez sa grand-mère pendant la dictature (qui a fait près de 3 000 morts et disparus), mais la jeune femme estime que cette histoire appartient au passé. «C'était il y a 50 ans. Mentionner tout ça aujourd'hui c'est pour porter atteinte à José Antonio Kast et sa posture politique. Ce n'est pas ça qui va le définir en tant que président, ce qui va le définir ce seront ses actions une fois au gouvernement», juge-t-elle. Sur un campus universitaire dans le sud de Santiago, Margarita, 20 ans, de gauche, se souvient que pendant un cours sur l'Histoire du Chili, peu de ses camarades connaissaient le président Salvador Allende, renversé en 1973. «Ils ont très peu d'informations sur cette période de l'Histoire chilienne. Aujourd'hui, des jeunes soutiennent Kast aveuglément alors même qu'il a été partisan du coup d'État, qui a été terrible pour le pays», s'inquiète-t-elle.   Dans le journal de la 1ère...  Air Caraïbes relance aujourd'hui sa ligne directe entre Orly et l'aéroport international de Saint-Martin, explique Benoît Ferrand.

    Thousands of people are still not connected to the National Grid and rely on generators for power, according to the energy regulator. Ofgem estimates up to 2000 properties in the UK are still off-grid. Some have been asked to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds if they want a connection. Now a charity in Northumberland, where Ofgem identified a particularly large cluster of off-grid households, says the government should do more to help. Despite higher than average rainfall across some of the country, other areas are still in drought, following the exceptionally dry and hot summer. The National Drought Group has reported that record breaking rainfall in November helped the Midlands move out of drought, but parts of Sussex remain in drought.Rural roads are significantly more dangerous than urban ones. The latest figures from the Department for Transport show that 956 people were killed in 2024, that's 72% more than on urban roads. The figures have been analysed by NFU Mutual insurance and it's now calling for more specific training for driving on rural roads, especially for those who break the law. All week we're catching up with rare and native reeds. Longwool sheep of which there are several breeds, are on the priority list of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. There are just 99 registered flocks of the distinctive Lincoln Longwool and the number of sheep has declined to around eight hundred.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney
