https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-62314555 In 1948, the body of a well-dressed man was found slumped on an Australian beach. A half-smoked cigarette was resting on his collar, and there was a line from a Persian poem in his pocket - but investigators had no idea who he was. Theories abounded, including that the person - dubbed Somerton Man - was a spy. But after more than 70 years, a researcher says he's solved the mystery - Somerton Man was Carl Webb. And he was not a Russian agent, but rather a Melbourne-born electrical engineer. South Australia Police have not confirmed the discovery but say they will comment soon. Baffling mystery Beachgoers found the body lying against a seawall on Somerton Beach in Adelaide on 1 December, 1948. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, and appeared to be aged in his 40s or 50s. In his pocket were bus and train tickets, chewing gum, some matches, two combs and a pack of cigarettes. He had no wallet, no cash, and no ID. The tags on his suit had been cut off, and forensic examiners suspected he had been poisoned. Other curious finds baffled authorities. They included a suitcase, more items of clothing with their labels removed, and incoherent writings believed to be a code. He also held a torn scrap of paper with the Farsi words Tamam Shud - meaning "it's finished" - printed on it. The Somerton Man's fingerprints were sent around the world, but no one could identify him. And so he was buried in Adelaide cemetery in 1949 with a tombstone reading: "Here lies the unknown man who was found at Somerton Beach." The mystery man's remains were exhumed by police last year in a bid to solve the case. But a professor at the University of Adelaide was on his own mission to crack it. Derek Abbott was able to analyse the Somerton Man's DNA using hairs preserved when authorities made a plaster model of his face. He teamed up with renowned US forensic expert Colleen Fitzpatrick - who specialises in cold cases - to build an extended family tree using the DNA. And from 4000 names, the pair narrowed it down to one - Carl Webb. They then tracked down the man's living relatives, using their DNA to confirm his identity. "It's a triangulation from two different, totally distant parts of the [family] tree," Prof Abbott told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Of the discovery, he said: "It kind of feels like climbing Mount Everest, and having that mixture of elation that you're at the top, but also tiredness and exhaustion." So who is Carl Webb? According to Prof Abbott, Webb was born in 1905 in a suburb of Melbourne. He was the youngest of six siblings and married Dorothy Robertson, known as Doff Webb. That's most likely what brought him to Adelaide, the professor said. "We have evidence that he had separated from his wife, and that she had moved to South Australia. So possibly, he had come to track her down," he told the ABC. Ms Fitzpatrick now wants to help solve the mystery of his death. "I would like to see the toxicology done. And I would like to find out what happened to Dorothy," she told CNN.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62318376 Gas prices have soared after Russia further cut gas supplies to Germany and other central European countries after threatening to earlier this week. European gas prices rose almost 2%, trading close to the record high set after Russia invaded Ukraine. Critics accuse the Russian government of using gas as a political weapon. Russia has been cutting flows through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to Germany, with it now operating at less than a fifth of its normal capacity. Before the Ukraine War, Germany imported over half of its gas from Russia and most of it came through Nord Stream 1 - with the rest coming from land-based pipelines. By the end of June, that had reduced to just over a quarter. Russian energy firm Gazprom has sought to justify the latest cut by saying it was needed to allow maintenance work on a turbine. The German government, however, said there was no technical reason for it to limit the supply. Ukraine has accused Moscow of waging a "gas war" against Europe and cutting supplies to inflict "terror" on people. Meanwhile, Poland has said it will be fully independent from Russian gas by the end of the year. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said: "Even now, Russia is no longer able to blackmail us in the way it blackmails Germany for example." The UK would not be directly impacted by gas supply disruption, as it imports less than 5% of its gas from Russia. However, it would be affected by prices rising in the global markets as demand in Europe increases. European wholesale gas prices closed at €204.85 (£172.08) per megawatt hour - the third highest price on record. The all-time high was achieved on 8 March when prices closed at €210.50 (£176.76) per megawatt hour. However, this time last year the wholesale gas price in Europe was at just above €37 (£31.08) per megawatt hour. UK gas prices rose 7% on Wednesday so the price is now more than six times higher than a year ago. However, it is still well below the peak seen in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. UK energy bills increased by an unprecedented £700 in April, and are expected to rise again with one management consultancy warning a typical energy bill could hit £3,850 a year by January, much higher than forecasts earlier this month. BFY said its forecast reflected the increase in wholesale prices over the past few weeks with the ongoing tensions with Russia sparking concerns over winter supplies. The latest reduction in flows puts pressure on EU countries to reduce their dependence on Russian gas even further, and will likely make it more difficult for them to replenish their gas supplies ahead of winter. Since the invasion of Ukraine European leaders have held talks over how to reduce its dependence on Russian fossil fuels. On Tuesday, the European Union agreed to cut gas use in case Russia halts supplies but some countries will have exemptions to avoid rationing. EU members have now agreed to voluntarily reduce 15% of gas use between August and March. However, the deal was watered down after previously not having exemptions. The EU has said its aim from the deal is to make savings and store gas ahead of winter, warning that Russia is "continuously using energy supplies as a weapon". The voluntary agreement would become mandatory if supplies reach crisis levels. The EU agreed in May to ban all Russian oil imports which come in by sea by the end of this year, but a deal over gas bans has taken longer. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February the price of wholesale gas has already soared, with a knock-on impact on consumer energy bills across the globe. The Kremlin blames the price hike on Western sanctions, insisting it is a reliable energy partner and not responsible for the recent disruption to gas supplies.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62217543 Conservative MPs will vote again on Tuesday as they continue the process of choosing the two candidates for leader who will be put to a vote of members. One of the four remaining contenders - Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt, Liz Truss, and Kemi Badenoch - will be eliminated when the result is announced later. Mr Sunak looks almost certain to make the final two, with the other three candidates vying for second place. Senior backbencher Tom Tugendhat was knocked out after Monday's vote of MPs. Separately, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold his last scheduled cabinet meeting on Tuesday ahead of Westminster's summer recess. The Conservative Party wants MPs to have chosen the two candidates to replace him before the Commons finishes on Thursday - with the final vote set to take place on Wednesday. After a summer of campaigning by the two final contenders, grassroots Tories will vote for who should become leader, with the winner to be announced on 5 September. Mr Tugendhat was eliminated after receiving 31 votes, down one from his performance in the second round last Thursday. The other candidates placed in the same order as on Thursday, with Mr Sunak coming out on top having gained 14 votes for a total of 115. Ms Mordaunt dropped one vote but held onto second place with 82 votes, while Ms Truss gained seven votes to bring her total up to 71. Ms Badenoch placed fourth with 58 votes, up nine from the previous round. In a statement, Mr Tugendhat said: "I want to thank my team, colleagues and, most of all, the British people for their support. "I have been overwhelmed by the response we have received across the country. People are ready for a clean start and our party must deliver on it and put trust back into politics." But Ms Mordaunt said: "My vote is steady and I'm grateful to my colleagues for all their support and thrilled to be in second place once more." A prominent Sunak supporter said: "That's a cracking result - Rishi gaining most [votes]." And a Badenoch campaign source said: "Kemi is pleased to have taken it to the next vote. She has momentum over both Mordaunt and Truss. It's all to play for and Kemi is in it to win." A source within Ms Truss's campaign told the BBC: "We've narrowed the gap to Penny pretty considerably. Story is Penny going backwards. All to play for!" A Sky News debate scheduled for Tuesday was cancelled after Mr Sunak and Ms Truss declined to take part, and amid concern among senior Tories that airing disagreements in public could damage the party.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-62217390 Australia's environment is in a "shocking" state and faces further decline from amplifying threats, according to an anticipated report. The survey of Australia's ecological systems - conducted every five years - found widespread abrupt changes. These can be blamed on climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and mining, it said. The threats are not being adequately managed - meaning they are on track to cause more problems. Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek called it a "shocking document", vowing to implement new policies and laws. The 2,000-page State of the Environment report, commissioned by the government, found or reiterated: "We're going to lose the Australia that we grew up with, for future generations, if we don't truly start dealing with some of the environmental problems," one of the report's chief authors, Dr Ian Cresswell, told the Australian Associated Press. The koala and gang-gang cockatoo are among more than 200 animal and plant species with upgraded threats since 2016. Many of those species are unique to Australia. In recent years, Australia has suffered severe drought, historic bushfires, successive years of record-breaking floods, and six mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef. "In previous reports, we've been largely talking about the impacts of climate in the future tense," Professor Emma Johnston, another report chief author, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "In this report there's a stark contrast, because we are now documenting widespread impacts of climate change." The report found Australia lacks an adequate framework to manage its environment, instead relying on confusing systems that straddle different tiers of government. Federal government spending on sustaining biodiversity has dropped at the same time risks have been increasing, it said. The report was handed to the previous government last year, but its release was delayed until after the election in May. "It tells a story of crisis and decline in Australia's environment, and of a decade of government inaction and wilful ignorance," Ms Plibersek said in a statement. Her predecessor Sussan Ley - now deputy opposition leader - has been contacted for comment. Australia has vowed to cut carbon emissions by 43% on 2005 levels by 2030. Under its previous government, the target was 26-28%.
