BP just smashed records with a $5.7 billion quarterly profit — its best in four years — fueled by soaring energy prices amid Middle East turmoil, sparking backlash from activists who accuse the company of profiteering while ordinary people battle rising bills and climate disasters. Under new CEO Meg O’Neill, BP is aggressively reshaping its future, selling off its US biogas unit Archaea and putting its historic UK North Sea operations up for sale, all part of a ruthless cost-cutting push to boost shareholder value and meet aggressive performance targets.

Scotland lit up the Commonwealth Games with 39 medals, 13 golds—including 4 from Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire—proving homegrown talent can dominate the global stage. Neil Fachie, cycling legend with pilot Aaron Pope, swept two golds in tandem events, bringing his total to seven. Boxer Sonny Kerr earned bronze in men’s 70kg after a gritty semi-final, while swimmer Toni Shaw matched her past success with another bronze in women’s 100m freestyle S9. These champions are raising the bar—and their hometowns are cheering them on—for what’s sure to be an even bigger show in 2030.

White Van Wanted in Aberdeenshire | Aberdeen News

Your pup’s not immune to sunburn—especially with this heatwave. Lighter-furred dogs and those with pink skin are at risk, even on cloudy days. Watch for licking or rubbing, redness, warmth, or sensitivity. Protect them with shade, water, and vet-approved sunscreen. Test hot pavement before letting them walk on it. Mild burns? Cool down and rest. Severe? Call the vet. Keep your furry friend safe year-round.

Donald Trump is hitting the brakes on UK energy policy, blasting the government for leaving North Sea oil untapped — calling it “gold” and warning that ignoring it risks national bankruptcy. His push comes as Labour’s stance begins to soften, with Mayor Andy Burnham signaling a more pragmatic approach despite the party’s election pledge against new drilling. Meanwhile, major projects like Jackdaw and Rosebank await approval amid mounting pressure from environmentalists who fear they’ll derail Labour’s net zero goals. With consultations set to close in August and final decisions pending, the UK stands at a crossroads — balancing economic opportunity against climate commitments — all while Trump’s fossil fuel fervor echoes across the Atlantic.

Don’t get fined $80—here’s the little-known bin rule you need to know: councils can slap you for leaving your wheelie bin out too early or too long, especially if it blocks sidewalks, creates safety hazards, or attracts pests. While fines are a last resort, they’re legal under environmental laws if your bin causes or risks causing a nuisance. Rules vary by area—Bristol wants bins out by 6 AM, Redcar by 7 AM, and Hartlepool allows overnight placement but requires return by collection day. Always check local guidelines and heed warnings before getting penalized.

England and Wales just endured their driest July ever, with 20 scorching days hitting 32°C — smashing the 1995 record. Amber heat alerts are in place for key regions including London and the South East, warning of strain on the NHS, while yellow alerts cover other areas. Rain is finally forecast for Northern Ireland and Scotland, but much of England remains dry and humid. Farmers are reeling from one of the worst droughts on record, with crops failing and livestock forced to eat winter feed. The National Farmers’ Union is demanding urgent action to secure water for food production. This summer’s extreme heat has already claimed over 2,800 lives and fueled devastating wildfires across the UK — including a massive blaze in South Wales.

Middleton Farm, a beloved family-run operation since 1948, dreams of expanding into a vibrant farm shop and cafe—but faces a steep roadblock from Aberdeenshire Council. To meet accessibility rules, they’re being forced to build a costly, nearly one-kilometer hardcore path and relocate brick walls, pushing the project’s budget past £100,000. Owner Ian Thomson argues a grass path would suffice and questions why shoppers need to trek that far for eggs or potatoes. Still, the farm is buzzing with activity—growing seasonal crops, drawing crowds with a jumping pillow and Highland calf Mayhem, and filling a vital local gap after Potterton lost its shop five years ago. They’re holding their breath, hoping the council will bend—or break—the rules to let this community hub become reality.
