When Ben Raemers killed himself at the top of his game, it left many skateboarders asking questions.

This is my life now and I have dedicated myself to working in mental health. Really quickly after the funeral I decided I wanted to do something and started talking to Ben's friends. I thought "I cant let him take his life and then just sweep it under the carpet". I used to be out with him and people would stop him in the street, but Ben never had an ego. Ben decided to move back to London and his mental health started to deteriorate. His friends came from around the world and other people came just because they had followed him and his career. It's crazy how many people have messaged to say it has helped them start a conversation. He would come across as a sweet boy to most people but then he'd come home and be tearing the place up. He was completely drawn to it. We had a love/hate relationship and we were either best friends or it was complete debauchery. We had two other brothers and it was quite chaotic. Aged 10, he discovered skateboarding and was instantly hooked.

Ian Dalgarno, from Central Bedfordshire Council, said the work in Dunstable meant it now looked "more attractive". It included adding large plant pots and the ...

"Traffic doesn't dominate the main High Street anymore, it feels like we've given it back to the community." "If you're looking to open a business, the investment that's gone in makes it a very attractive place to shop and visit. Mr Dalgarno said: "We believe the work will bring more visitors and investors in, they will come into the town centre and feel like it's a town centre. A founders of the Facebook group, Sharon Warboys and Sharon Knott said they thought most of the improvements were "positive". "As well as improving the ambiance of the area, it was also an engineering aspect." Work started in September 2018 to widen the pavement and remove "clutter" from the street - like railings and signs - and replace them with trees and foliage.

The Maharajah Duleep Singh was exiled to England after his kingdom was annexed by the British in India in the 1840s. The council said the family "made a real impact on the county". An exhibition exploring the life of the last emperor of the Punjab, who made his home in Norfolk after being exiled from India, is set to open.

People have been abseiling Bristol's second tallest building to raise funds for St Peter's Hospice.

He joked that he had had a big breakfast to "help the gravity". She added that the supporters, many of whom were family and friends of those who had received hospice care, were raising funds "at a time when it couldn't be more important".

Gemma and Darren Jones's home is by a sharp bend on Cotwall Lane, High Ercall, and they complain there have been four serious incidents since 2015. Mr Jones ...

But it was the tractor crashing through the living room that worried them most, Mrs Jones said, explaining how one hour before the crash she had been in the room with her son. In 2015, a motorcyclist was killed on the stretch of road by the Jones's house and a year later a car skidded through their garden. The authority said it was "aware of concerns around road safety" and was speaking to parish and borough councillors, with ideas including "new signage, resurfacing and road markings".

A woman who runs a truck driver training business said people were often "surprised" and "confused" by what she does. Shannan Paterson, 27, from Willenhall ...

She said there were "pros and cons" to working in the industry, but when she was first contacted by the documentary's production team she "thought it was a joke". The documentary will follow her as she juggles the business with helping to raise her younger sister, and trying to get her own HGV licence with help from veteran instructor and dad, Trevor. The documentary will follow Ms Paterson and her business as it examines how and why people are drawn to the industry.

Many of the crops we rely on need to be pollinated to produce food, but extreme heat can destroy pollen. So scientists are searching for a solution.

Walters also simulated an acute heat wave by exposing pollen grains to temperatures of 99.5F (37.5C) for four hours and then lowering the temperature to 77F (25C) for another 20 hours. To compensate for pollen loss, Walters says, growers might consider planting strips of wildflowers that are more heat tolerant and could provide pollinators with additional nutrients. The company is working on extending this time frame and on applying its technology to other crops. "There's just a limit to how much heat a plant can take." The idea is that these cultivars will survive the winter and then get a jump-start on flowering early in the summer – giving them a fighting chance to pollinate successfully before a heat wave. For example, fertilisation is notoriously heat-sensitive in many cultivars of tomato – a crop that in 2021 covered 274,000 acres (1,109sq km) of open fields in the US alone. In a state that averages around 100 million lbs (45,359 tonnes) of blueberries a year, growers harvested just 66 million lbs (29,937 tonnes). "That is virtually unheard of for our area to have a temperature like that in June," he says. Meanwhile, breeders of tomatoes and other crops are already working to develop cultivars that can better handle heat. This tube is formed by a single cell that grows through the stigma and down a stalk called the style until it ultimately reaches the ovary, where it delivers the pollen grain's genetic material. They're uncovering genes that could lead to more heat-tolerant varieties and breeding cultivars that can survive winter and flower before heat strikes. For this reason, many farmers aim for crops to bloom before the temperature rises.

A motorway was brought to a standstill as a traffic officer rescued a kitten stranded on the central reservation. National Highways' Gavin Buffam spotted ...

Once settled, Smudge was taken to the agency's depot. It was then taken to the home of one of Mr Buffam's colleagues who cleaned it and fed it. "Once it was in the car, it tried to bite my fingers a few times," Mr Buffam said

Andrew Martindale, 61, worked for Isle of Wight NHS Trust when he was caught in a police sting.

He was also given a sexual harm prevention order of five years. The court heard he was "riddled with remorse" and "it was very much the lady [Martindale] thought he was dealing with, not so much the daughter", the tribunal transcript said. In a "highly sexualised chat", Martindale and the officer discussed "acts that they or one of them would do to the 13-year-old girl".
