The man it was built for, paralysed for years, can now eat a meal unaided and feel his hand on his dog.\n\nAmazon deforestation falls to a ten-year low\nBrazil's space agency recorded roughly 500 square miles cleared in the first half of 2026, against 807 in the same period last year. It is the lowest figure in a decade, and the third consecutive year the trend has pointed the right way.\n\nThe world added a billion vehicles and road deaths fell anyway\nWHO figures show global road deaths down 21 per cent since 2011, a period in which more than a billion vehicles joined the world's roads. Seatbelt laws, better crossings and speed limits, quietly compounding for fifteen years.\n\nA gentler prostate cancer treatment matches surgery over ten years\nTen-year results from 3,477 men across fourteen UK centres found focal therapy controlled cancer as well as removing the whole prostate. It carried a five-fold lower risk of incontinence and erectile dysfunction.\n\nThe gym inside a Paris homeless shelter\nAn outdoor gym at an Emmaüs Solidarité shelter reports 80 per cent of residents feeling physically better, and 90 per cent saying it helped them connect with other people. The second number may be the more important one."}]}
