New law targets fast-food toys
San Francisco has passed a law banning fast-food restaurants from giving away toys with some children’s meals. Supporters say many fast-food meals are very unhealthy, but McDonald’s called the legislation misguided.
It could spell the end of the Happy Meal, the fastfood snack that’s a hit with children at McDonald’s, because it comes with a free toy. City leaders in San Francisco argued the same meals also come with too many calories and they say that has added to a situation where nearly 20% of American children are obese.
Now San Francisco has become the first major US city to ban fast-food restaurants from giving away toys with meals that don’t meet nutritional guidelines. In future, you’ll only get the toy if you buy a healthy snack.
The burger giant McDonald’s sent senior executives to the city to oppose the measure. In a statement, the company said: “Parents tell us it’s their right and responsibility, not the government’s, to make their own decisions and to choose what’s right for their children.”
McDonald's, Burger King and other food companies have signed up to self-regulate how they advertise food to youngsters.

London's Olympic Park is nearly finished
If you go down to East London today, you’ll notice a transformation. Three years ago, this area of Stratford was an urban wasteland.
500 days to go, and London’s Olympic Park is taking shape. The velodrome is finished, they’re tiling the diving pool, and the stadium seats are in and covered up to protect them from the London weather.
At its heart are more than five miles of newly opened waterways. These used to be big, industrial canals, and then they fell into disrepair.
But they run almost like arteries across the whole Olympic site. The stadium there sits on an island, completely surrounded by water, and what’s fantastic is to see them coming back to life. So often, water in London is used and abused, and this — it’s being cherished.
When the diggers have gone, there’ll be a new urban park here in Stratford — the biggest to be built in Europe for 150 years. A quarter of a million new wetland plants have gone in, and 4,000 new trees.
PINSENT, Matthew.
London’s Olympic Park is nearly finished.

❑ TEXTO 3:
Flipper tags may damage penguins
Scientists in France have suggested that biologists who tag penguins to help track their movements could be causing them harm. The method could also affect data collected from penguins for research on climate change.
For decades scientists have been following penguins by putting bands around their flippers. This allows individual birds to be identified at a distance. But there have been concerns that flipper bands might harm the birds by slowing them down as they swim.
The latest study, reported in the journal Nature, confirms it. Scientists followed a colony of king penguins for ten years. Birds fitted with bands died younger, started breeding later in the year, took longer to search for food, and overall raised about 40% fewer chicks.
Scientist in the field will now have to find other tagging methods, but in the meantime there are also concerns that some data gathered on penguins down the years, in this ecologically crucial part of the planet, may now be worthless.
