Britain bans ninja swords after teenage murder
From August 1, it will be illegal to own a ninja sword in the UK. The British government decided on Thursday, writes Prime Minister Keir Starmer on X.
The ban is part of a larger law reform to tackle knife crime in the country, writes Sky News. The reform has been named Ronan's Law, named after the teenager Ronan Kanda who was murdered with a ninja sword three years ago.
- Today we introduce the final part of Ronan's Law in his memory - a ban on ninja swords that his killer should never have been able to use, says Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.
Possession of a ninja sword can, when the law comes into force, result in up to six months in prison.
The climate threat Global challenges
UK's carbon dioxide emissions fell by 2024
UK's carbon dioxide emissions fell by four percent last year, reports The Guardian, citing preliminary figures from the Department of Energy.
The emissions figure for 2024 is 54 percent lower than 1990 and the explanation is likely to be that the use of gas and coal in the energy sector has decreased.
Greenpeace believes that there is more to be done, but is pleased with the development.
– This positive news is further proof that Britain's efforts against climate change are working, says Doug Parr at the environmental organization.
For the first time, renewable energy accounts for more than half of electricity production in the UK, writes Sky News.

Forest fires in South Korea under control
The most intense forest fires in South Korea are now under control, the country's authorities say, writes AP.

Lim Sang-seop, head of South Korea's Forest Service, says work is now shifting to extinguishing smaller fires.
“There is still a risk of new forest fires breaking out, so we will not let down our guard and will do everything to prevent them.”
