Some of Mr Johnson's Conservative critics - including still-serving ministers - think he is holed beneath the water line. If - and I stress if - his premiership does go under, how might it happen? Further resignations The first possibility … [Read more...] about How might Boris Johnson be removed as PM?

By Steven McKenzie Published 17 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Scotland's hilltops were once a landscape full of woodlands but tree cover disappeared over thousands of years due to human activity. Now researcher Sarah Watts is among those collecting information on where trees are taking root as part of her work on mountain woodland restoration. "When we are talking about altitudes above 900m that is very, very extreme for a tree to grow," she says. But she says trees have been found at heights of more than 1,000m (3,281ft) on some of Scotland's highest peaks. The trees reach the mountains as seeds - often blown on winds or deposited in bird droppings after being eaten.
