Utility company’s plant, which has only run five times, now has an estimated total cost of £500m

Thames Water is preparing the UK’s only desalination plant to restart operations later this year – but it will not be ready until the winter, long after the current drought is likely to have passed.

The utility company said that it was hoping to start operating its plant in Beckton, east London, “by the end of the year”, in order to help build up reservoir supplies over the winter for next summer.

[Перевод] Миссия по пролёту мимо Плутона очнулась от долгого сна на расстоянии почти 6 миллиардов миль от Земли

Революционная миссия, которая исследовала Плутон и отдалённые объекты Солнечной системы с беспрецедентной детализацией, пробудилась от своего самого длительного «сна». Сейчас она находится на расстоянии 5,9 миллиарда миль (9,5 миллиарда километров) от Земли.

Космический аппарат НАСА «Новые горизонты» перешёл в запланированный режим гибернации 7 августа 2025 года и пробудился 23 июня с помощью команд, сохранённых в его главном компьютере.

Диспетчеры миссии из Лаборатории прикладной физики Университета Джонса Хопкинса в Лореле, штат Мэриленд, подтвердили, что «Новые горизонты» находится в отличном состоянии и готов передавать поток научных данных, собранных во время «спячки», со своего местоположения в области ледяных объектов, известной как пояс Койпера.

Плутон — самое крупное из тысяч замороженных каменных тел, называемых транснептуновыми объектами (ТНО), которые находятся в поясе Койпера на краю нашей Солнечной системы — это остатки её формирования, завершившегося по большей части 4,5 миллиарда лет назад.

В 2015 году «Новые горизонты» стал первым космическим аппаратом, совершившим детальный пролёт мимо Плутона и его спутников, изменив представления учёных об этой холодной карликовой планете. В 2019 году аппарат также провёл детальное исследование Аррокота — ТНО, имеющего форму снеговика.

С момента достижения этих важных вех аппарат «Новые горизонты» продолжает исследовать загадочный пояс Койпера — и делает удивительные открытия.

Космический аппарат собирает данные о скоростях вращения, ориентации и формах ледяных объектов, путешествующих по орбитам в поясе Койпера.

Across the world authoritarians want to tell us what a ‘good life’ looks like. Here’s how liberals must respond | Alexandre Lefebvre
Published: 2026-08-14 15:00:33 | Created: 2026-08-14 15:10:55

From Maga to Hungary’s Fidesz and Australia’s One Nation, politics is returning to its oldest question: what makes a life worth living? And liberalism needs a credible answer

Those of us who live in liberal democracies carry an image of what a decent state should do. It should protect rights, grow the economy, maintain order, uphold fairness and arbitrate disputes. But on life’s deepest questions – what makes a life worth living, and what sort of person one ought to become – it is meant to show restraint. The state should not privilege one vision of human flourishing, let alone promote it. That is for individuals, families and communities to decide. To borrow the Minnesota governor Tim Walz’s golden rule of politics: “Mind your own damn business!”

Consider birthrates. Across much of the wealthy world, they have fallen below replacement level. Fewer children mean fewer future workers, taxpayers and carers, and more pressure on pensions, health systems and aged care. Yet when liberal democracies encourage larger families, through baby bonuses or affordable childcare, they generally describe the goal as removing obstacles and expanding choice. Crucially, everyone should benefit: gay parents, straight parents, adoptive parents, biological parents, married parents, divorced parents – come one, come all.

While some of the event’s 5,000 attenders arrive sporting full bodysuits and ready to compete, others are gearing up for their first tattoo

At the Sydney tattoo convention, the city’s historic town hall fills with the buzz of tattoo machines, the comforting aroma of hospital-grade sanitiser and the timeless tunes of Linkin Park.

The convention’s founder and managing director of Thirteen Feet Tattoo studios, Katie Bailey, says it wasn’t easy to secure the 137-year-old venue. When she pitched it to Sydney council for their first event four years ago: “at first they were nervous about it, they had people everywhere checking in on us, but after that first event, they thought it was amazing. Tattooing and town hall just go together.”

The End of Oak Street Is the Best Dinosaur Movie Since Jurassic Park
Published: 2026-08-14 14:35:56 | Created: 2026-08-14 14:42:55
(L-R): Ewan McGregor as Greg and Anne Hathaway as Denise in The End of Oak Street —Warner Bros. Pictures

It's been 33 years since the enduring cinematic masterpiece that is Jurassic Park first hit theaters in June 1993. Since that fateful summer, Steven Spielberg's sci-fi survival thriller has reigned supreme as the undisputed king of dinosaur films. Now, The End of Oak Street is proving a dino blockbuster that serves up prehistoric horror with a side of genuine pathos is still a worthy endeavor.

Based on Michael Crichton's 1990 novel, Jurassic Park not only delivered some of the most memorable creature-feature scares in movie history, it was also a sharp cautionary tale about scientific hubris and the illusion of man's control over nature that was anchored by stellar performances from its core cast. But over the course of numerous sequels and reboots, the franchise largely shifted away from resonant character drama in favor of high-octane action sequences and increasingly monstrous beasts. Outside the Jurassic universe, there haven't been many successful attempts to reinvent the dinosaur wheel, so to speak.

Brian (Christian Convery) and Audrey (Maisy Stella) flee from an Allosaurus in The End of Oak Street. —Warner Bros. Pictures

Cue the release of The End of Oak Street, now in theaters. Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows, Under the Silver Lake) and produced by J.J. Abrams (Cloverfield, Super 8), Oak Street follows the Platt family—husband and wife Greg (Ewan McGregor) and Denise (Anne Hathaway), their two children Audrey (Maisy Stella) and Brian (Christian Convery), and their rambunctious dog Starbuck (played by two different pups named Brisket and Buzz)—after a mysterious cosmic event transports their 1980s suburban Michigan neighborhood back to a primitive era. What follows is a brutal fight for survival against aggressive, hungry, and carnivorous dinosaurs who quickly turn the community's previously idyllic streets into their own personal feeding ground. There's an absurd scientific explanation for these events, but the movie doesn't spend too much time on it, which is mostly for the best within the bounds of its sub-100-minute run. Instead, The End of Oak Street is a thriller about suburban unease and domestic tension, with a primeval twist.

"I’m just calling back that feeling I had as a kid, where I could be in the yard looking over to the dead-end street nearby, looking down into the woods," Mitchell told the AU Review of what inspired Oak Street's vintage vibe. "There was this old brick or rock wall, and it was just imagining what’s in the shadows, you know? What’s beyond the chain-link fence? As a kid, just thinking about the films that I had seen, the stories I’d read, and imagining those things in my own suburban world, and then as an adult trying to remember that feeling. I do think it’s a little bit burned into my brain, that feeling."

The Platts and their neighbors must contend with a relentless pack of Velociraptors, a roving Allosaurus, and a behemoth of a snake that gets its jollies from sneaking up on its prey, among other predators. But Oak Street doesn't just spotlight the perils of man-eating dinosaurs. It also delves in the simmering marital friction that's threatening to tear the Platts apart from the inside.

(L-R): Ewan McGregor as Greg, Christian Convery as Brian, Maisy Stella as Audrey, and Anne Hathaway as Denise in The End of Oak Street. —Warner Bros. Pictures

While Greg is struggling to hold down a consistent job and drinking to cope with the anxiety surrounding that strain, Denise is channeling her domestic frustration into writing a secret novel about a housewife who leaves her family behind for a new life in New York City. "She’s the kind of woman who grew up in a time when many women went from their father’s home to their husband’s," Hathaway told Time Out of her character's mindset. "I wanted Denise to seem like the last person in the world you’d expect to be able to take on a Titanoboa with a knife."

After being catapulted hundreds of millions of years into the past, Greg and Denise are forced to simultaneously reckon with both the dangerous realities of being dropped in the center of a primordial jungle and the hidden truths fracturing their relationship. Of course, the rampaging dinosaurs are a bit more of an immediate issue. And Mitchell doesn't waste any time making the life-or-death stakes of the Platts' predicament abundantly clear. Those going into Oak Street blind should be prepared for a few gasp-inducing surprises.

Once the carnage gets going, Mitchell never really take his foot off the gas. And while the film's ending ultimately requires some logic-bending buy-in, the journey to get there is equal parts thrilling, fun, emotional, and ferocious. Harking back to its Jurassic forbear, The End of Oak Street channels everyone's favorite '80s Amblin classics, but with a far more vicious bite.

Всем привет, добро пожаловать на подкаст Mindscape. Я ваш ведущий, Шон Кэрролл. Время! Оно не останавливается, несмотря на все психологические последствия жизни в условиях локдауна. То, как мы воспринимаем время, зависит от обстоятельств, но само время неумолимо движется вперед. Если, конечно, путешествия в прошлое вообще невозможны, как это изображается в бесчисленных научно-фантастических сюжетах. Но имеет ли это смысл? Разве в таком случае мы не смогли бы изменить прошлое, причем настолько радикально, что сами никогда не появились бы на свет? В этом сольном выпуске подкаста я говорю и о физике путешествий во времени, и об их изображении в фантастике. Я объясняю, что законы физики, возможно, допускают путешествия во времени, и рассказываю, как именно это могло бы работать, хотя на самом деле мы пока этого не знаем. А еще я пытаюсь разобраться в некоторых не самых логичных вариантах путешествий во времени, которые показывают в кино. Придумать непротиворечивую теорию, способную объяснить происходящее в «Назад в будущее», совсем непросто, но подкасты - занятие не для слабонервных.

Я хотел бы рассказать тем из вас небольшую историю о том, как мне самому удалось, пусть и совсем немного, повлиять на массовую культуру. Возможно, вы слышали о фильме «Мстители: Финал». Скорее всего, слышали, ведь на тот момент это был самый кассовый фильм в истории. И важную роль в нем играет идея путешествий во времени. Я не собираюсь раскрывать сюжет фильма, но до него был другой фильм, «Война бесконечности», в котором произошли довольно неприятные события, и герои «Финала» хотят исправить их, отправившись в прошлое. А если вы хотите ввести в фильм путешествия во времени, вам приходится принять определенные решения о том, как именно они работают. В реальном мире путешествий во времени мы пока не наблюдали, поэтому существует несколько разных теорий о том, как они в принципе могли бы происходить. И в какой-то момент Пол Радд, актер, который играет Скотта Лэнга, он же Человек-муравей, вместе с остальными героями обсуждает путешествия во времени и говорит: «То есть вы хотите сказать, что “Назад в будущее” - это полная чушь?»

Incident near Essex town of Wickford happens day after two passengers seriously hurt in East Sussex derailment

The UK’s fifth heatwave of the summer has “presented exceptional challenges to the railway”, Network Rail has said, after two trains derailed in less than 24 hours.

On Friday, British Transport Police (BTP) confirmed the rear carriages of a Greater Anglia train derailed “in an upright position” at Wickford railway station in Essex, adding that there were no reported injuries. On Thursday, two people were seriously injured when several Southern train carriages left the track near Lewes in East Sussex and ended up on their side, trapping passengers onboard.
