Anti-racism protesters take to UK streets

Hello. Anti-racism protests have taken place across the UK in response to a week of rioting. Lucy Manning and Mallory Moench give us a picture of the various events on a night that saw significantly less disorder than previous evenings. In South Africa, where power outages had become routine, Ed Habershon looks at the changes implemented over past two years that have stabilised the electricity supply. Speaking of energy, a video from the US shows why you should keep power banks well away from the reach of your pets.

That dogs like gnawing at things - often to the despair of their owners - is undeniable. But one pet bit off more than it could chew when sinking its teeth into a portable lithium-ion battery power bank. A video released by the Tulsa Fire Department, in the US state of Oklahoma, shows the fiery consequences. You'll be glad to know no animals came to harm.
