Greenpeace is threatening to sue King Charles’s property management company, accusing it of exploiting its monopoly ownership of the seabed.
The environmental lobby group alleges the crown estate has driven up costs for wind power developers and boosted its own profits, as well as the royal household’s income, due to the “aggressive” way it auctions seabed rights.

Protesters rallying against the Trump administration in Portland put the city’s quirky and irreverent reputation on display on Sunday by pedaling through the streets wearing absolutely nothing – or close to it – in an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride.
Crowds that have gathered daily and nightly outside the immigration facility in Oregon’s largest city in recent days have embraced the absurd, donning inflatable frog, unicorn, axolotl and banana costumes as they face off with federal law enforcement who often deploy teargas and pepper balls.

Others were glued to their television screens at home, as if it were the World Cup final. Thinking about it, the war’s final act trumps even that. Apparently, the sound of silence can be full of joy.
Ever since the deal was struck and the war finally came to an end, it seems Israel has been under the influence of the best drug imaginable. Strolling through the streets now, you see people smiling for no reason – or perhaps for the best reason of all. Even the serious faces worn by TV anchors have been replaced by cheerful ones. “Today is the day I smile,” said one correspondent gladly this morning, stating the obvious. But as the TV presenters and panellists persisted with the good news theme, you could not help but notice the other footage. As the buses and Red Cross vehicles drove through the Gaza Strip on their mission to bring the hostages back, the scene was one of destruction – ruins of cities where people once lived.
