Storm Ali
Scotland is preparing for high winds and building damage as Storm Ali - the first named storm of the season - approaches land; there are warnings of coastal flooding and travel disruption
Air pollution
A recent study has shown that students walking to school inhale a concerning amount of black carbon pollution from passing vehicles and traffic; this could cause health issues if these particles lodge in the lungs, heart or brain
Hurricane Florence
As the storm abates, alarming statistics are beginning to come to light; the total death toll now stands at 31 people, and the cost of damage is around $20billion (£13bn), making it one of the costliest hurricanes on record
Typhoon Ompong
At least 74 people have now been confirmed dead in the Philippines after the Typhoon swept through the islands with wind speeds of around 125mph; over 105,000 people have been evacuated from the homes and 5.7 million people have been affected across the nation
