Banks in the United Kingdom may be facing significant losses in the coming years, as the value of their assets is eroded by nature-related stocks such as water scarcity and pollution. A study published by the Green Finance Institute has found that the failure to address such risks could shave about 5% off the value of UK bank portfolios amid a broader 12% economic decline through 2030.

(2/3) — British Army 🇬🇧 (@BritishArmy) April 25, 2024 × "Of the seven horses which were spooked, five tried to bolt and four - Vida, Trojan, Quaker, and Tennyson - broke loose. Two of the injured horses were operated on last night, with one transferred to an equine hospital. All remaining horses are being closely observed," the statement read. Vida, the grey horse who was seen blood soaked in videos from the incident and Quaker who was transferred to hospital might never be able to serve again. An Army spokesperson told Telegraph,"We are hoping that both these horses make a recovery. Whether they will recover enough to return to official duties, it’s too early to know for sure. Vida was the most visibly injured and the pictures of the horse running through London soaked in blood were horrifying. Vida was operated on overnight and is currently in stables at the Hyde Park Barracks under observation." “Quaker was also operated on overnight but it was decided to move the horse to an equine hospital in the early hours for more specialist treatment. The extent of the injuries is not completely clear but we don’t believe at this stage there are any broken bones. The blood seen on Vida was consistent with lacerations,” the army added.

Three men have been arrested in the UK after five migrants, including a child, died this week trying to cross the Channel from&nbsp;France, police said on Wednesday.

The National Crime Agency said two Sudanese nationals aged 19 and 22, and a South Sudan national, also 22, were detained on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Three men, a woman and a seven-year-old girl lost their lives in the early hours of Tuesday in the sea near the northern French town of Wimereux.

They had been in a packed boat that set off before dawn but whose engine stopped a few hundred metres from the beach.&nbsp;

Several people then fell into the water. About 50 people were rescued and brought ashore but emergency services were unable to resuscitate the five.

The tragedy happened just hours after UK lawmakers approved plans to deport undocumented migrants crossing to Rwanda.

The NCA said the three suspects were arrested on suspicion of "facilitating illegal immigration and entering the UK illegally".

They were taken to a police station in Kent, southeast England, for questioning, it added.

The NCA, which investigates serious, organised and trans-national crime, said it was supporting a French police investigation.

Fifteen people have died this year trying to cross the busy shipping lane from northern&nbsp; France&nbsp;to southern England, according to an AFP tally. That is already more than the 12 who died in the whole of last year.

"This tragic incident once again demonstrates the threat to life posed by these crossings and bring into focus why it is so important to target the criminal gangs involved in organising them," said NCA deputy director of investigations Craig Turner.&nbsp;

"We will do all we can with partners in the UK and&nbsp;France&nbsp;to secure evidence, identify those responsible for this event, and bring them to justice," he added in a statement.

The UK has experienced major&nbsp;disruptions to thousands of flights due to what is believed to be "extremely dangerous" jamming, suspected to have been executed&nbsp;by Russia, according to a report in The Sun.

These electronic attacks have particularly impacted satellite navigation (satnav), making aircraft routes challenging to navigate. Pilots have also encountered difficulties in communicating their location to colleagues while in the air.

In some instances, the situation has become so concerning that planes have had to take evasive action, including swerving and diving to avoid perceived "obstacles" that were not actually present.

The Sun reported that, up until the end of March, a huge&nbsp;number of Ryanair and Wizz Air flights encountered satnav problems in the Baltic region, with British Airways, Jet2, and EasyJet flights also affected.

Jamming disrupts the satellite signals, including GPS, preventing them from reaching aircraft and misleading pilots about their actual location.

Luc Tytgat, head of EASA, expressed concerns about the escalating attacks on these systems.

"GPS jamming does not directly impact the navigation of an aircraft and while it's a known issue, this does not mean an aircraft has been jammed deliberately," he said in a statement.

The suspected Russian attacks have surged from fewer than 50 incidents per week last year to over 350 per week last month, as per The Sun's claims.
