  3. bbc, grow mushrooms there

  4. 🚩 'A + I' ( AI ) = _ •🇮🇳 🇦🇺 🇯🇵 /🇺🇸• _ "American – Indian" 🗽

  5. There is one rape report every hour in London, according to police data published on Friday. Almost 8,800 cases were handled in 2023, which is an average of 24 each day.

    The figures were obtained by the BBC through Freedom of Information requests and show a further 11,000 reports of other sexual offences.

    The totals increased by 14% over the last five years to almost 20,000 in 2023, which means that sexual violence or rape was reported to police every 26 and a half minutes, on average.

    Charities concerned with protecting children and women against sexual violence said the true extent of such incidents is far higher.

    The London-based Rape Crisis center has branded the findings “horrifying,” telling the BBC that “urgent change is needed.”

    The charity claims only one in six women who are raped report the crime. Among male victims that figure is said to be one in five. Only one in four will report other types of sexual assault.

    Shockingly, the police statistics also reveal that over 4,300 children reported being a victim of rape or sexual assault in 2023.

    Explaining a sharp increase in abuse by under-18s, National Police Chiefs’ Council lead for child protection, Ian Critchley, said in February that a rise in sexual assaults on children by other children could be attributed to a “toxic” online culture, such as violent pornography.

    Police and officials also attribute the increase to more frequent reporting of offences. Charges for sexual crimes have risen significantly in recent years, according to the statistics. There were 818 charges in 2018, falling to 800 the following year, but steadily rising since to over 1,400 in 2023.

    In August, the UK Home Office said rape offences that led to a charge took the longest time to probe – about 423 days on average. This is compared with 55 days for ‘violence against the person’ offences and 28 days for theft.

    Following a series of high-profile incidents of violence against women by serving London Metropolitan Police Officers, the issue of public confidence in policing has received greater attention. Only four out of ten people in England say they trust the police, with the British capital’s cops getting the lowest score, a survey suggested in April. A total of 657 Metropolitan Police officers were under investigation for sexual abuse, domestic abuse, or a combination of both last year.

  6. Bugs and algae , Good enough for the peasants……..

  7. 2:41 "Energy, CO2, and water–that's all that's needed for this aquatic organism to grow." False. You stated that it's "rich in iron". Where does the iron come from…?

  8. 60s bass drum?

  9. Add a little yellow food coloring and that blue become green!

  10. Algea has been food for a long time. Sushi in wraps to spirulina jezzz people nothing new.

  11. Here we go! Soylent green!

  12. Yum, I want an algae burger, medium rare, sail vous plait.

  13. Better than the bugs the BBC usually pushes

  14. Next up, get ready to drink sea water

  15. Whilst I understand what they want to do, it's probably better as an animal food instead. Unless they can make it more palatable in the future. But then again, when we get to Mars, anything edible would be food, not like they can order a mcdonalds 😂

  16. Keep your sustainable blue grass, I will keep my old fashioned steak.

  17. Might go well with breakfast. A yes from me.

  18. Call it Avatar food…. 😂

  19. How BBC news didn't talk about Oprah and Kamala exchange? Cause, it was a flop? Please talk about the Venezuelan who raped a woman, was arrested, and then released instead of being deported, and later committed a murder. Kamala said she would ensure border security. We need to awaken the population and tell them that Kamala doesn't deserve to be president. She treats young people like they are stupid. It's she who is very, very stupid. I listened to her talking during the Oprah discussion, and it was pathetic. She repeated the same things every time. The couple asked her how she was going to lower the cost of living, and she never answered. The young man asked her how she was going to ensure the borders, and she gave a nonsensical answer and tried to put the blame on Trump. The young man was smiling. I wish that young man had asked her if she was sure it was Trump’s fault, or that the young lady had said, "You didn't answer my question.

  20. If you guys want to go ahead and eat crypto farmed plant dust, go ahead. Can you just leave everyone else alone, thanks.
