Seascape: the state of our oceans 'It's nonstop': how noise pollution threatens the return of Norway's whales
Recordings by biologist Heike Vester reveal how oil and gas exploration as well as cruises, fishing boats and even whale-watchers are adding to the din underwater.
Heike Vester at home in Bodo, Norway. Her love of whales comes partly from her interest in matrilineal societies. She lives right on the water.
Vester has made hundreds of recordings from the sea in Vestfjorden over decades.
Recordings made with the hydrophone, analysed at Vester's home in Bodo, indicate a significant rise in noise pollution in the region.
Blue whales are returning to fjords but they face threat from noise pollution.

West Indian dominoes players dismayed by noise ban in London square.
Ernest Theophile. London. Photograph by David Levene, 6/5/22Ernest Theophile: 'Loneliness was one of the biggest factors as to why we gathered there. That’s why the square was ideal for us.'
A Thursday afternoon at Maida Hill market square is filled with pensioners happily chatting and playing cards while enjoying the sunshine.
However, over the past year the square has been at the centre of an ongoing row between some of its regulars and Westminster council.
Last year, Ernest Theophile, a 73-year-old black man who regularly plays dominoes with other locals in the area, was summoned to court by the council and accused of being too noisy and causing a disturbance.
Lawyer for local resident Ernest Theophile, 73, says order is 'likely to be indirectly discriminatory'

Just 20 UK visas issued to foreign lorry drivers, UK government admits. Oliver Dowden says applications ‘relatively limited’ for emergency visa scheme aimed to stem supply chain crisis
Just 20 UK visas have been issued to HGV drivers from abroad who took up the emergency offer of employment to avoid empty shelves in the run-up to Christmas, a senior minister has admitted. In the face of mounting fuel, food and goods shortages last month, it was announced that 5,000 visas would be granted to lorry drivers until the end of next February, and a further 5,500 could be applied for by poultry workers that would last until 31 December 2021.

Just 20 UK visas issued to foreign lorry drivers, UK government admits. Oliver Dowden says applications ‘relatively limited’ for emergency visa scheme aimed to stem supply chain crisis
Just 20 UK visas have been issued to HGV drivers from abroad who took up the emergency offer of employment to avoid empty shelves in the run-up to Christmas, a senior minister has admitted. In the face of mounting fuel, food and goods shortages last month, it was announced that 5,000 visas would be granted to lorry drivers until the end of next February, and a further 5,500 could be applied for by poultry workers that would last until 31 December 2021.

CCTV motorist trap in a London suburb.
A motorist is caught on CCTV in a Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Streatham entering a short link road from a roundabout to another route without realising it is "No Entry" to motor vehicles. The scheme is controversial as there are no clear road surface markings to inform car drivers not to enter thus suggesting a CCTV motorist trap in order to make revenue for Lambeth council and TFL. Much of London's roads have become cluttered with multiple signage confusing the motorist.
Creating LTNs does mean that some people, including some who do not benefit from quieter streets, may have a longer journey when travelling out of the area. In general, streets will be blocked off in such a way that they will be forced to access the outside world via one main road. And therein lies the problem and an opportunity for a council to exploit motorists not familiar with the local area.
