Debate continues on use of animals in warfare
It was revealed this week a beluga whale that died in August this year was being trained by Russia to be a spy. Hvaldimir became internationally famous in 2019 after being spotted wearing a harness that appeared to be designed to carry a camera. Fishermen in northern Norway noticed Hvaldimir in April 2019. The whale's nickname is a combination of the Norwegian word hval (whale) and the first name of Russian president Vladimir Putin.

She's a phenomenon - I loved seeing Britain's big new star
beabadoobee started came on the stage with her band and went straight into the first song, the whole crowed was cheering and singing along. The set was covered in white sheets and looked great with the different strobe lighting. She started with songs such as talk, charlie brown and take a bite which is a very popular song from her new album ‘this is how tomorrow moves’ which she released just this august. The crowd was extremely engaged as she told us that she feels ‘at home when she’s on stage’ and processed to sing some of her very popular, slower songs like glue song and coffee which had everyone’s phone torches swaying.After that, she sang what she stated was her favourite song she’s written: ‘beaches’. During this song the sheets on the stage behind her fell down to reveal a background with hanging garlands of green leaves and lights. Beabadoobee was extremely engaging with the croud and at one point when the guitar cut on her song ‘the way things go’ she got the whole croud to sing at the top of their lungs with her without any music, which sounded beautiful. She then finished with her song ‘see you soon’ and waved goodbye before leaving the stage. Beabadoobee is one of britains best new artists and has amazing stage presence, a great set and fans waiting outside to arena for hours to see her close up, she’s a real phenomenon!
