13/10/2022 - LONDON - Neath MP Christina Rees has been suspended from the Labour Party. The politician, who has represented the constituency since 2015, has lost the party whip pending an investigation. It means the former shadow Welsh secretary, who served on the front bench during the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, will sit in the Commons as an independent. The party has declined to comment. Ms Rees has been approached for comment. The MP took her seat in 2015 after Peter Hain stood down at that year's general election. She is the 14th MP to be sitting in parliament as an independent, joining others who have lost the whip from their parties. Born in the village of Kenfig Hill in south Wales, the qualified barrister has represented Wales in squash more than 100 times. She was a member of the Great Britain Youth Team to the Munich Olympics. Ms Rees was married to former Welsh Secretary Ron Davies until they divorced in 1999. PICTURE: UNPIXS 13/10/2022

EMBARGOED TO 0001 THURSDAY OCTOBER 13 Handout photo dated 16/07/22 issued by WWF of spider monkeys in the forest canopy of the Amazon jungle, Brazil. Issue date: Thursday October 13, 2022. PA Photo. Global wildlife populations have fallen by nearly 70% in less than 50 years, conservationists warned as they called for immediate action to halt the nature and climate crises. WWF's latest Living Planet report assesses the abundance of almost 32,000 populations of 5,230 species of animals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish around the world and how it has changed over the decades. It reveals population sizes have declined by 69% on average since between 1970 and 2018, driven largely by the loss and break up of natural habitat for agriculture, while climate change is also increasingly a threat to wildlife.
