Army covered up my daughter's sexual assault, mum says

Jaysley Beck's mother has accused the British Army of covering up the sexual assault her late daughter suffered in 2021.

The body of Leighann McCready's 19-year-old daughter was found in a locker room at Larkhill Camp in Wiltshire.

She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told.

Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social.

An inquest has found the Army's handling of the complaint played "more than a minimal contributory part in her death".

McCready said, "it's been made clear through the findings that the Army have failed our daughter".

Scientists alarmed by sharp drop in Emperor penguin numbers

Emperor penguins, the largest of their kind, are facing a growing threat as shrinking sea ice puts their future at risk. The birds rely on stable ice for up to eight months to raise their chicks, but as the Southern Ocean warms, that vital platform is melting too quickly. Scientists are alarmed by satellite data, which shows a sharp decline in colony numbers, with some areas disappearing twice as fast as predicted just seven years ago. Storms, changing weather and predators like orca whales are also contributing to their decline. Report by Covellm.
