I was more surprised to learn that both the Chinese bought the blast furnaces and they hadn't already closed down (perhaps there is a case to renationalise this industry? Steel is a vital material and we shouldn't be so dependent on importing it in an increasingly uncertain world..)

Nach der Pandemie ist vor der #Pandemie:

Erstmals wurde weltweit #Vogelgrippe bei einem #Schaf auf einem Hof in #Yorkshire nachgewiesen.

Die infizierte Milchprobe wurde im Rahmen einer Routinekontrolle entdeckt. Das Tier wurde getötet, weitere #Infektionen traten nicht auf. Fachleute sehen kein akutes Risiko für den Menschen, warnen jedoch vor der zunehmenden Verbreitung des Virus auf immer mehr Tierarten.

"Professor Ed Hutchinson, #Virologe am Zentrum der Universität #Glasgow, erklärte, dass ein „besonders aggressiver Stamm“ des #Virus dafür verantwortlich sei. Er fügte hinzu: „Ein weiteres Tier, das wir bisher nicht als Wirt in Betracht gezogen hatten, ist das #Schaf . Daher ist die Meldung, dass ein einzelnes Schaf in #Yorkshire an der #H5N1 #Influenza erkrankt ist, umso erstaunlicher“."

5⭐ Medieval City Walls, York UK
trailspotting.com/2025/03/medi

The City of York is a showcase of two millennia of British history, with every era leaving its mark. From its Roman origins in AD 77 to the Viking invaders of the 9th century, and the riches and squalor of the Middle Ages. Every period has contributed to the York's rich historical tapestry, which is evident throughout this northern town.

The image shows Mickelgate Bar, a historic stone gatehouse in York. It features two cylindrical towers and several coats of arms displayed on its facade. The structure is part of a larger stone wall and is flanked by older brick buildings on either side. The sky is clear with a few clouds, highlighting the well-preserved medieval architecture of the gatehouse.
The image shows a picturesque view of York Minster, a large Gothic cathedral in York, England. The cathedral dominates the background with its intricate architecture, including tall spires and a central tower. In the foreground, there are charming red-brick buildings with well-maintained gardens and outdoor seating areas. The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds, adding to the overall beauty and serenity of the scene.
The image is a split view showing two different scenes related to the City of York. The left side of the image shows a close-up of a metal gate with a circular emblem that reads 'CITY OF YORK' in white letters on a red background. The emblem features a white rose in the center, which is a symbol associated with the city. The right side of the image depicts a section of the ancient city walls of York. The walls are made of stone and have a series of supporting buttresses. There is a grassy area alongside the walls, and trees can be seen in the background under a blue sky with scattered clouds.
On the left side, there's a close-up of a circular metal marker embedded in the ground. The design features a castle with a cross in the middle. The right side displays a small stone structure resembling a castle or fortification, complete with an arched entrance and steps leading up to it. The lush greenery surrounding it adds to its charm.
