Headteachers say it is ‘unsustainable’ to expect schools to keep stepping in to support desperate families One in four teachers in England brought in food for hungry pupils out of concern for their welfare, a survey has revealed, as headteachers said it was “unsustainable” to expect schools to keep stepping in to support desperate families. Just days before the start of the new school term, more than a third (35%) of the 9,000 teachers who took part in the poll said their school regularly provided food for children and their families, rising to almost half in the most deprived areas of England.

Police west of Toronto on Wednesday warned drivers to keep their car windows closed after a truck spilled crates carrying five million bees onto a road. Halton Regional Police said they received a call around 6:15 a.m. reporting the bee crates had come loose from a truck and spilled onto Guelph Line, north of Dundas Street, in Burlington, Ontario, just west of Toronto. It was "quite the scene," Const. Ryan Anderson said. PIGS RUN LOOSE ON ST. PAUL-AREA HIGHWAY AFTER SEMITRAILER CRASH "Crates were literally on the road and swarms of bees were flying around," he said. "The initial beekeeper that was on scene was apparently stung a few times." The scene prompted police to warn drivers to close their windows as they passed by and for pedestrians to avoid the area. About an hour after police put out a notice on social media, several beekeepers were in touch with police offering to help. Six or seven beekeepers eventually arrived at the scene, Anderson said. BEES SWARM ARIZONA FAMILY DURING PHOTO SHOOT, STING MOTHER MORE THAN 75 TIMES AS SHE PROTECTS KIDS By around 9:15 a.m., police said most of the five million bees had been safely collected and the crates were being hauled away. Some crates had been left behind for the uncollected bees to return to them on their own. A colony of honeybees in summer has around 50,000 to 80,000 bees, according to the Canadian Honey Council, a national association of beekeepers.

Nearly 170 migrants returned to Senegal on Wednesday after spending almost a week in limbo on a Spanish rescue boat. Deputy Mayor Lamine Ndiaye confirmed 168 migrants were safely transferred from a Spanish vessel to Senegalese authorities. They were expected to arrive in Dakar by sea Wednesday evening. Since Thursday, the migrants had been stuck aboard a Spanish Civil Guard vessel near the northwest African nation of Mauritania after authorities there refused to let them disembark, according to Spanish media. MIGRANTS TRAPPED ON TUNISIA-LIBYA BORDER TRANSFERRED BACK TO TUNISIA AFTER FACING DANGEROUS CONDITIONS The Civil Guard is one of two national police forces in Spain. For years, it has worked with local authorities in Mauritania and Senegal to try to prevent migrants from attempting to reach Spain’s Canary Islands, an archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of Africa. The crew on the Tagus River Civil Guard boat spent days at sea with the survivors, and at multiple points fired gunshots into the air to quell riot attempts, according to a post shared by the account of the union representing Civil Guard members on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. In recent months there has been a surge of migrants departing from Senegal, who must navigate north past Mauritania to reach the Canaries. Mauritanian authorities declined to comment on why the migrants were barred from disembarking on its shores. International maritime law mandates that any person found in distress at sea must be rescued and brought to the nearest place of safety, and that asylum seekers should not be forcibly returned to a country where they might face persecution. MEDITERRANEAN NATION FACES CEMETERY CHAOS AS HUNDREDS OF BODIES WASH ASHORE In a statement Tuesday, the Spanish Commission for Refugees (CEAR) asked Spanish authorities not to bring the migrants back to Senegal, since "the current political and social situation in Senegal is very delicate and could put these people at risk." Tensions have recently run high in Senegal, where a popular opposition leader's arrest in July spurred violent unrest. Tens of thousands of people across West Africa board rickety wooden boats bound for Europe every year. Many seek to escape political unrest, youth unemployment and worsening conditions for fishing and farming. The route from West Africa to Spain is one of the world’s most dangerous. Nearly 1,000 migrants died while trying to reach Spain by sea in the first six months of 2023, says Spanish rights group Walking Borders.
