A beluga whale which strayed into France's River Seine was still not feeding on Sunday and showed signs of illness, leaving "little hope" for a successful outcome, experts said. The four-metre long cetacean was spotted on Tuesday in the Seine. Its presence in the river is exceptional, as it usually lives in cold waters. Since Friday evening, the beluga has been in a lock measuring about 125 metres by 25 metres, 70 kilometres northwest of Paris. Lamya Essemlali, head of Sea Shepherd, the ocean defence NGO present at the scene, said that experts and authorities were faced with "a challenge" where there is "little hope", when asked about the chances of saving the animal five days after it was discovered. Several attempts to feed it, including using herring, trout and even squid, have been unsuccessful. On Saturday, vets had even administered "vitamins and products likely to give it an appetite" in view of the beluga's "physiological state", the Eure prefecture said … [Read more...] about Experts struggle to save beluga whale lost in France’s River Seine

The next prime minister is facing calls to immediately increase Universal Credit payments to stop vulnerable people spiralling further into poverty when fuel bills increase again this winter. The poorest in society are suffering three major blows to their income in the year to October 2022, according to a report commissioned by former prime minister Gordon Brown. As well as losing the £20-a-week uplift to Universal Credit, benefits are failing to keep up with inflation - and a jump in the energy price cap is expected this autumn. It means some families are up to £1,600-a-year worse off because of the cost of living crisis - even after government help is taken into account. Poverty expert Professor Donald Hirsch, who wrote the report, says the package of measures offered by the government falls far short of what low income households need - and urgent action is required.
