But this is the worst sewage pollution I’ve ever seen in the southeast.” Stormwater overflow monitoring by Southern Water this month reveals the scale of releases into coastal bathing waters. The beach at Pagham, west of Bognor Regis, which boasted an ‘excellent’ water quality rating this summer, has seen raw sewage discharged for more than 179 hours in two separate and continuous releases, according to figures released by the company....

The late winter flooding would be the result of a weather phenomenon called La Niña – a strong pattern influenced by cooler temperatures in the Pacific. This caused flooding in February, when storms destroyed hundreds of homes....

Jane had scarcely finished speaking when a dozen little children rushed into their Grand Bank house—their little faces white with terror—shouting and saying at the same time, “George’s burned to death!” “He’s all on fire!” Thirteen-year-old George Eberly didn’t die — but he came close. When I interviewed him in 1962, George explained to me exactly what happened that night of the fire, 61 years ago. After dinner, Emberley and some of his brothers went up to the commons, a large grassy open ground by the beach, about 180 yards from the Emberly house....

Comment Conservative justices on Monday appeared open to ending decades of Supreme Court precedent allowing racially based college and university admissions decisions, repeatedly expressing doubt that institutions would ever grant an “end point” to using race to create diverse student bodies. After nearly five hours of argument, affirmative action programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill appeared to be in serious jeopardy. The question is how broad such a ruling might be and what it would mean for other elite colleges and top state universities that say basing it on grades and test scores alone could lead to dramatic declines in Black and Hispanic students....

According to the former president, Democrats are destroying the country—with record inflation and an ongoing crisis at the southern border, among other issues—and that the time for voters to stand up to them was “right now in these elections”. “Democrats are locking up their political opponents, spying on their political opponents, silencing dissent and using the full power of government law enforcement and the media, the fake media, to try to crush our movement,” said Trump on Saturday in Minden....
