Scientists are urging the public to help track a declining UK butterfly population as they discover many species are migrating northwards because of climate change. …

The survey asks people to spend 15 minutes in a sunny area and record the number and types of butterflies that they see, as researchers have identified changes to the way they’re migrating across the country.

Do liberals get to count moths as butterflies? The same butterfly ten times? Do they get to include the ones stuck to cork boards with pins in the museums?

Paris ‘feels like a jail’ as security ramps up for the Olympics

Also known as a ‘Games Pass’, it allows entry to the perimeter – but the system to get one is complicated and has led to a lot of confusion. Visitors have also been advised to apply more than a week before arriving.

Also, fecal Seine, anti-sex beds, and no air conditioning.
