Ecuador tells Assange to avoid political activity online – and feed the cat

Ecuador has laid out a stringent new set of house rules for Julian Assange, warning the whistleblower to avoid online comments about political issues – and ordering him to clean his bathroom and take better care of his cat, or risk losing his pet.

Assange was told to take charge of the “well-being, food, hygiene and proper care” of his pet cat, in the memo written in Spanish and first published on the Ecuadorian Código Vidrio website.

It warned that if the WikiLeaks founder did not take care of the pet, it would be given to someone else or handed in to an animal refuge.

Scottish Power becomes first major UK energy company to generate all electricity from wind

Scottish Power became the first of the UK’s major energy firms to completely drop fossil fuels in favour of wind power, when it sold off its remaining gas and hydro stations to Drax for £702 million.

While customers will still get some electricity from non-green sources that the company has purchased from other operators, the firm indicated it would now be freed up to invest more in UK renewable energy sources like sunlight, wind, rain, tides and waves.
