Now 18 times larger, the new ULEZ area bans older vehicles such as polluting diesels and petrol cars older than 2006, an attempt to lower poisonous emissions that further harm the health of 1 in 10 children who have asthma. Drivers of non-exempt vehicles may enter the ULEZ after paying a £12.50 daily fee - or face a £160 penalty.

  • 'Counting the Cost' is a memorial sculpture in glass designed by Renato Niemis which is outside at the American Air Museum at the Imperial War Museum, RAF Duxford, England. The sculpture comprises of 52 toughened clear float glass panels, each etched with the outlines of 7,031 aircraft missing in action in operations flown by American air forces (Air Force and Navy Groups) from Britain during the Second World War. The images are scaled at 1:240, diagonally pointing towards the blue summer sky once filled with bombers and fighters during the air campaign over Germany and France.

  • The nose detail of a de Havilland Comet in the colours of the long-defunct airline Dan Air is seen in profile at the Imperial War Museum's Duxford airfield, Cambridgeshire, England. The British de Havilland Comet first flew in July 1949 and is noted as the world's first commercial jet airliner as well as one of the first pressurized commercial aircraft. Early models suffered from catastrophic metal fatigue and the aircraft was redesigned. Here, the nose structure is held together with rivets that sit askew of the aircraft skin making it aerodynamically unfit to fly. It remains however, one of the classic and iconic designs in the history of commercial aviation.

  • Beneath the Swiss Re building (aka the Gherkin) is the sculpture artwork entitled 'Site Of The Fall: Study of the renaissance garden: Action 180: At 9:15 am Sunday 28th May 1967' by Reza Aramesh, on 29th July 2020, in the City of London, England. This piece of art is one of a series of 12 sculptures that form the body of work titled ‘Site of the Fall – Study of a Renaissance Garden’. From research on reportage images of the Vietnam war, a single composition was selected, the image of which has been reconstructed through a process of rendering based on live subjects. Hand carved Carrara marble depicts the subject as larger than life. The plinth is a site-specific design to communicate with the environment of where it’s situated.

Some 60,000 young Nepalese boys aged between 17 - 22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in Nepal's Himalayan foothills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000 - 12,000 feet. Only 160 are recruited with training continuing at this barracks until joining various units within the army. The Gurkhas training wing in Nepal has been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857. (Photo by Richard Baker / In Pictures via Getty Images)
