who were associated with the dead financier, were redacted in the latest batch of Epstein material and concern because names, addresses and photographs of some of his victims were published.

New figures suggest China's carbon dioxide emissions fell in 2025, the first full year to show such a decline.

This is not a dramatic breakthrough, but it means emissions from the world's manufacturing hub and second largest economy have now been flat or falling for almost two years.

Carbon Brief's figures show a finely balanced picture.

Emissions dropped across major sectors, including transport, power, cement and metals, but rose in the chemical industry.

China also added more coal and gas-fired power capacity last year than in any year for a decade.

The plants are intended to act as backup when wind and solar generation falls short, but are evidence that fossil fuels remain a key part of the country's energy system.
