Films celebrating South West landscapes released
A series of films described as "visual and verbal poetry" have been released which show landscapes of Devon and Cornwall. The films, named Wild Westcountry Odyssey, have been co-funded by Natural England and made by Plymouth-based filmmaker Simon Willis. Contributions have also been made by the University of Exeter and National Trust. The first film - which was released on Monday - celebrates the landscape and wildlife in Kynance and the return of the chough to the Lizard peninsular in Cornwall. More news stories for Cornwall Listen to the latest news for Cornwall Each film features two short poems written by John Wedgwood Clarke, professor of Poetry at the University of Exeter. The remaining five films will be released weekly until 21 July. Mr Wedgwood Clarke said: "I hope these films, and the visual and verbal poetry they contain, inspire people to explore this beautiful part of the world and think about how they can support, in whatever way they can, the work the goes in to helping people and nature thrive together in these special places." Mr Willis said: "It's been a privilege to work with all the nature reserves and John. "The human effort that goes into keeping them thriving for wildlife is remarkable. "I hope our images and John's words encourage people to look beyond the picture postcard and really value the wildlife that makes the South West such a great place to visit." And David Burton, of Natural England, added: "We supported the production of the films to research how creative media can help re-set the relationships between people and nature within the framework of Protected Site Strategies. "The approach is to educate and highlight the need for nature recovery to everyone." Follow BBC Cornwall on X, Facebook and Instagram.

Windy Conditions Fan Wildfires in the West
A wildfire in southwestern Utah destroyed 17 homes, and threatened hundreds more, as it grew to more than 1,500 acres on Friday night, the authorities said. The blaze, known as the Forsyth fire, burned just north of St. George, a city near the state's borders with Nevada and Arizona and about 30 minutes from Zion National Park. The damage was concentrated in Pine Valley, a community of just over 300 people about 40 minutes north of St. George. Hundreds of firefighters and other emergency personnel responded to Pine Valley on Thursday when the fire broke out, but a quick change in the winds on Friday led to the destruction of homes, Sheriff Nate Brooksby of Washington County said on Facebook. 'The firefighters were shocked,' Sheriff Brooksby said. 'I could see it in their eyes. They gave it all they had, and still lost to mother nature.' All the residents of Pine Valley had been ordered to evacuate and members of the public were advised to stay away until the fire was contained, the sheriff's office said. Red flag winds, those averaging 15 miles per hour or greater during dry conditions, continue to drive the fire, according to Utah Fire Info, an interagency team for public information regarding wildfires. According to the agency, 150 personnel had been deployed to fight the fire and 400 structures remained under threat. The cause of the fire remained under investigation. About 500 miles west, in Douglas County, Nev., roughly 25 miles east of Lake Tahoe, the Conner fire exploded to almost 14,000 acres, from 2,000 acres on Friday. The fire started as a structure fire, according to the Bureau of Land Management of Nevada, spreading quickly in windy conditions as dry brush and grass fueled its growth. Resources from federal, state and local agencies from Nevada and California were responding to the fire and almost 500 emergency workers were involved in attempts to contain it. Evacuations had been ordered. Images shared on social media showed plumes of smoke from the Conner fire that were visible from Lake Tahoe, a popular vacation destination that straddles California and Nevada and is home to hiking trails, campgrounds and cabins. Wildfire risk remained high as large sections of the United States were expected to experience a heat wave over the weekend. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sections of the country encompassing parts of California, Colorado, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming were at critical risk of wildfires.

Former Swansea head coach Luke Williams working at Bristol Airport while on gardening leave
Luke Williams, who was the head coach of the Championship club Swansea City as recently as February, is now working at Bristol Airport. A photo of Williams at the airport, wearing uniform, was posted on social media on Saturday, prompting a reaction of disbelief among many people, in some cases questioning whether the picture was some sort of a hoax. Advertisement A source close to Williams has since confirmed to The Athletic that the 44-year-old has been employed at Bristol Airport, which is in the south west of England, for the last two weeks. Williams' job involves helping disabled and limited-mobility passengers around the airport terminal. The former Notts County and Swindon manager is on gardening leave since being sacked by Swansea in February after 13 months in charge at the Welsh club, and, on the face of it, there is no financial need to work while he waits for another opportunity in football to come up. However, Williams has always talked about the importance of a good work ethic — 'in my opinion, motivation in life is everything', he told The Guardian in a wide-ranging interview in February 2024 — and, according to those close to him, he was keen to do something meaningful with his time rather than sit at home. It is a highly unusual tale but, at the same time, in keeping with Williams' backstory. In that interview with The Guardian, Williams explained how he had loaded lorries for British Home Stores, and also drove minibuses to and from airports and nightclubs, to help to fund his coaching career in the early days, when he was earning £1.50 ($2) for every player that attended his sessions. Williams also applied to get on an electrician's course when he left Swansea for the first time, two years ago, when he had been working as assistant manager to Russell Martin. He subsequently took over at Notts County and led the club back into the English Football League via the play-offs, playing an expansive and attractive brand of football that prompted Swansea to appoint him as head coach in January last year.
