‘Incomprehensible’ killing of popular brown bear in central Italy sparks outrageItalian politicians and wildlife experts have condemned the fatal shooting of an endangered brown bear, as a search was under way for her two cubs.Amarena was one of the most popular of the Marsican brown bears in the Abruzzo national park in central Italy, often pictured in and around the area with her offspring.A local man was immediately identified as the shooter, according to park authorities, which condemned the “very serious incident”.The 56-year-old reportedly told police he fired out of fear when Amarena entered his property on the outskirts of the town of San Benedetto dei Marsi, outside the park area, on Friday.Amarena was one of only about 60 such bears in the park and one its most prolific females. The marsican brown bear, endemic to central Italy, is considered at an elevated risk of extinction.The park authorities said there was “no reason to justify” the shooting, even if Amarena had previously caused damage including to agriculture nearby, as “she never created any problems for humans”.The Marsican bear is a subspecies of brown bear that only lives in the central Apennine mountains.Local residents, including families with small children, had often stopped to watch Amarena – or Black Cherry in Italian – and her cubs during the animal family’s frequent evening excursions through streets near the park.

The Astonishing Story of the First Female Greek Immigrant to Australia
What the labels on supermarket Greek yoghurt actually mean – and the pots worth paying forIs the real Greek stuff better than Greek-style? Our expert separates truth from mythologyLet’s clear one thing up. Greek-style yoghurt – the stuff that’s sold in tall tubs at rock-bottom prices – is not the same as Greek yoghurt. Not even close. Greek-style yoghurt has a fairly thin texture and it’s essentially just set milk. It can be made almost anywhere, but it won’t be made in Greece. Greek yoghurt – sometimes sold as “authentic” or “real” – has to be made in Greece (according to regulations in the UK at least; the same is not true in the US), and is a thicker, creamier concoction as it is “strained” (more on that later) to have some of the whey removed. This makes it more expensive, as it requires more milk to make the same amount. According to Panos Manuelides, managing director of Odysea, which imports a raft of high-end Greek produce to Britain, Greek yoghurt should always be made with Greek milk. But legally it doesn’t have to be. (Check the label – if it doesn’t say it’s made with Greek milk, it probably isn’t.)
Revealed: Obese patients treated on hospital ground floor because of fears of crumbling concrete collapseObese patients are being treated on the ground floor of a hospital because of fears that floors above them made of crumbling concrete could collapse.The shocking disclosure has been made after a group of MPs visited the hospital, built with reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC).Labour MP Meg Hillier, chair of the Commons Public Accounts Committee, described what the MPs discovered as “jaw-dropping”.She wrote in The Times: “In one hospital staff can carry out roof maintenance only if they and their tools are a certain weight.“Heavy patients must be treated on the ground floor because the combined weight with equipment is too heavy to be safe.”
