Talking to US chat show host Jimmy Kimmel about her aversion to her own films, she revealed: “You know with enough time that is one of the advantages of having this much chronological time, you are a little bit more generous and forgiving . “ I can watch GI Jane. I can do that and then just recently um I realised that my youngest daughter and her fiancé had never seen Ghost. “So they put it on and were like ‘you've got to watch it.’ “ I said there's no way but I realised I have not seen it in 30 some years and so I gave way and went and watched the second half . “I was like, ‘ oh I did okay actually!’ “ I was pretty good .” Asked if Tallulah liked it she replied: “They were all weeping.” Picture supplied by JLPPA

'Live sick or flee': pollution fears for El Salvador's rivers as mining ban lifted
The landmark prohibition on mining in 2017, a world first, has been reversed by authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele but the move has met fierce resistance from environmentalists.
On 23 December, its congress voted to overturn the ban on metals mining, a move championed by the hardline president, Nayib Bukele, who is prioritising economic growth over environmental concerns.

'We empower ourselves': the women cleaning up Bolivia’s Lake Uru Uru
Once clean enough to drink, the Andean lake was poisoned by mining pollution and urban waste. But now Indigenous women are using giant reeds to revive the vital ecosystem.
Fed up with the ever-increasing pollution, the sisters Tatiana and Dayana Blanco and other young women formed the Uru Uru Team in 2019.
The first step was to clean the water. Their forebears used totora and so they decided to do the same. As well as being used to build floating platforms and houses, totora is important for treating sewage and mining wastewater as it traps minerals in its roots, leaves and stems.
Dayana and Tatiana Blanco members of the Team Uru Uru - a group of young indigenous women who came together to clean up Lago Uru Uru [Lake Uru Uru], Bolivia. Mining and plastic waste is dumped there. The waters are contaminated but the women create rafts out of plastic waste and plant totoro on them to clean the water.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, walks through Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

Drug consumption rooms could save thousands of UK lives, study finds.
Facilities could also slash transmission of diseases and cut pressure on ambulance callouts and hospitals, study says.
Thousands of lives could be saved if safe rooms were set up in UK cities where people could be supervised while they get high, the world's largest review of the effectiveness of drug-consumption rooms and overdose-prevention centres (OPCs) has found.
The part-government-funded study also found the facilities could slash the transmission of fatal diseases, as well as reduce drug litter, the pressure on ambulance callouts and the burden on hospitals.
Similar facilities already operate in France, the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Greece, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Norway, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Mexico, Iceland and Colombia.
Injectable drug user receives assistance from a nurse, in the supervised consumption room, the only one in the north of the country, in Pasteleira, on December 15, 2023, Porto, Portugal. The monitored consumption room is a container divided into 2 rooms, one for smoking, containing six seats, and the injectable room with 4 seats and with nurses controlling and providing assistance, where consumers can only spend 30 minutes in each room.
