When I started filming in British rivers over a decade ago I looked for three things. Clear water, lots of plants and plenty of fish. It's all be impossible to find in today which sickens me given its happened in such a short period.

Spain and France are joining forces along with Britain and Germany in asking the European Commission to open an investigation into Elon Musk under the EU's Digital Service Act. They are openly accusing him of spreading misinformation and interfering in European politics.

Unfortunately not the first diapriid 🐝 recorded for Belarus 🇧🇾; species of Diapria, Paramesius, Spilomicrus, Trichopria were all published before most by Wall (1980) Bull. inst. R. sci.nat. Belgique 52. FEE need to find referees with relevant expertise.
