The Jackdaw gas field owners say its emissions will have a very small effect on global warming. A recent report estimates the field’s emissions will be less than 0.02% of total yearly global greenhouse gases during its operation. This update follows a legal ruling that earlier government approval was unlawful due to insufficient climate impact assessment.
Key Facts
The Jackdaw gas field is jointly owned by energy companies Shell and Equinor through their partnership Adura.
A new Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) states the project’s emissions will contribute less than 0.02% to global greenhouse gas emissions annually.
The updated report was required after a judge ruled that previous government approval did not properly consider the full climate impact.
The field’s emissions over its lifetime could be up to 35.8 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent, roughly 90% of Scotland’s annual emissions.
Using Jackdaw gas could reduce emissions by replacing imported liquified natural gas (LNG), which has additional emissions from shipping and processing.
The UK has regulations and climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5-2°C.
Environmental groups challenged the project’s approval, leading to the court case and demands for a more detailed climate review.
Fresh government approval is required before production at Jackdaw can begin.

Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s far-right National Rally party, has officially started her campaign for the 2027 presidential election after a court reduced her ban on running for office. She plans to appeal her conviction for embezzlement of European Parliament funds, which is currently on hold, allowing her to campaign without restrictions.
Key Facts
Marine Le Pen was convicted for embezzling over €2.8 million from European Parliament funds between 2004 and 2016.
A court of appeal shortened her ban from running for office, letting her participate in the 2027 presidential election.
She received a one-year sentence that included wearing an electronic ankle tag, but this is paused while she appeals to France’s highest court.
Le Pen denies all charges and says she is innocent.
Some politicians and protesters criticized her candidacy because of her legal issues.
Her appeal to the Court of Cassation focuses on whether legal procedures were properly followed, not on the case facts.
The court decision on her appeal could come early next year and might lead to a new trial if her appeal is accepted.
Despite legal challenges, Le Pen is focusing her campaign on topics like cost of living, security, job losses, and low wages.

Ruth Ellis, the last woman executed in the UK in 1955, has been given a conditional pardon because new evidence shows she was abused by her partner. This pardon means her death sentence is replaced with life imprisonment, recognizing that modern law might have treated her case differently.
Key Facts
Ruth Ellis was executed in 1955 after killing her partner, David Blakely.
She was 28 years old and a single mother of two at the time.
Ellis’s grandchildren applied for her pardon based on evidence she suffered domestic abuse and coercive behavior.
The UK’s deputy prime minister announced that King Charles granted the conditional pardon.
A conditional pardon changes the punishment but does not erase the conviction. For Ellis, it replaces the death penalty with life imprisonment.
Modern legal defenses like diminished responsibility and loss of control were not available during Ellis’s trial but could have reduced her charge.
Ellis was badly abused by Blakely, including physical assaults and threats that were not considered at her trial.
The pardon is seen as an act of mercy and recognition that the justice system failed Ellis.
