Scientists in York researching bird courtship say they've discovered that males are less inclined to court female birds if they've been exposed to anti-depressants.

The researchers studied the birds at sewage works, where birds flock to feed all year round, and found worms, maggots and flies contain many different pharmaceuticals, including Prozac.

With 64.7m prescriptions written for anti-depressant drugs in 2016, traces of them are present in the water system.

Dr Kathryn Arnold and Sophia Whitlock, from the University of York, studied the effects of Fluoxetine (commonly known as Prozac) on starlings and say they discovered changes in the birds' behaviour which could put birds at risk in the wild.

Sophia Whitlock said: "Males sang more than twice as often and as long to untreated females compared to females that had been receiving low doses of Prozac."

The supermarket says it is going to take the wrapping off most of its cucumbers, specifically the standard-sized ones.

It says that cucumbers have typically been sold in plastic as it serves as an extra skin to prevent the vegetable's dehydration.

Morrisons says it will keep plastic on its half cucumbers "which would see a dramatic reduction in shelf life if plastic packaging was taken off".

"During the British growing season, where cucumbers are quickly transported from farm to store, Morrisons believes there will be enough shelf life for customers who want plastic to be removed where possible," it says.

Sheffield Tree Action Group (STAG) has announced the talks, set to take place between activists, Sheffield City Council and their contractor Amey later this month.

Bishop of Sheffield Pete Wilcox will chair the meeting, STAG has said.

About 5,500 trees have been felled in Sheffield since 2012, with the city council saying the tree removal is part of its £2bn Streets Ahead project, aimed at improving roads and footpaths in the city.

In a letter, Councillor Lewis Dagnall, cabinet member for environment and street scene says they hope to reach a resolution that will benefit the city, but also responds to concerns from residents.

Paul Brooke, from STAG, said he supports the call for an inquiry.

"We also believe that for this once-proud green city to move forward there needs to be an independent inquiry into how we got into this mess."

Sheffield's Lord Mayor needs to be "mindful of the language he uses" on social media, according to the city council leader.

Julie Dore was speaking to the BBC about Magid Magid's recent Tweet featuring a letter he's sent to the Home Secretary Sajid Javid calling for an inquiry into Orgreave:

Mr Magid starts the letter "Ey up Saj, S'upwiya?" and ends it "Gi'oer with your rubbish!"

Ms Dore says she understands the spirit of the letter, but says Mr Magid needs to approach it differently.
