Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E91DFR - RNLI flag flying beside a red beach warning flag, a symbolic image for sea rescue, beach safety, lifeboat volunteers, coastal risk and the heated UK debate over small boat crossings in the English Channel. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution describes itself as the charity that saves lives at sea, providing lifeboat search and rescue, lifeguards, water safety education and flood rescue. Its position on Channel small boats is that lifeboats are launched when HM Coastguard reports people may be in danger at sea, and that maritime law requires vessels aware of people in distress to take reasonable steps to assist. That mission has drawn criticism from anti-immigration campaigners and some political voices who argue that rescuing asylum seekers may encourage crossings, assist people-smuggling gangs or blur the line between humanitarian rescue and border control. Supporters counter that lifeboat crews are not immigration officers, that people in small overloaded boats are at real risk of drowning, and that the moral and legal duty at sea is to save lives first and leave asylum decisions to the proper authorities later. The controversy therefore sits between public safety, charity neutrality, border enforcement, refugee protection, people-smuggling, national politics and media-driven culture war. The image can illustrate both the practical mission of lifeboat rescue and the wider argument about whether a charity should ever discriminate between casualties based on nationality, immigration status or how they came to be in danger. The red flag adds a clear danger and warning element, strengthening use for stories about unsafe water, beach hazards, drowning prevention, coastal storms, lifeguard advice and the risks of the sea. It is a strong editorial stock image for coverage of the RNLI, small boat crossings, Channel rescues, humanitarian duty, misinformation, anti-migrant protest, public donations, charity values and the difficult business of rescue ethics

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3E3P6PJ - Night-time editorial photograph of a tall illuminated lettings sign fixed to the exterior of a red brick commercial building in Warrington, Cheshire, North West England. The board promotes residential lettings, guaranteed rent and H.M.O. specialist services, with the local telephone number shown prominently in large green numerals. Shot at blue hour under artificial lighting, the image has a vivid urban high street character and works strongly for stories about the private rented sector, landlords, letting agents, tenancy management, rental property marketing, shared housing and small business advertising in town and city centres. The wording reflects a familiar part of the UK rental market aimed at owners who want predictable income and management support, particularly where houses in multiple occupation, often shortened to HMO, form part of the local accommodation and investment landscape. In British housing use, HMOs are commonly associated with older terraced housing, adapted town centre premises, student areas and lower cost rented rooms for workers or people needing flexible accommodation. That makes the image commercially useful for themes such as buy to let, property investment, housing demand, affordability pressure, rental yields, local landlord services and the continuing role of high street property firms in regional towns. The combination of red brickwork, evening sky, floodlit sign and practical sales wording gives the photograph a documentary editorial quality rooted in a real streetscape rather than a generic stock setting. It also suits features on housing supply, local economies, rent levels, urban change and the language used by property businesses to attract both landlords and investors. More broadly, the image touches on the long history of privately rented urban housing in northern English towns, where rooms, lodgings and shared accommodation have often provided an entry point for people arriving for work or seeking short term housing

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07A96 - Whitehall is a road and area in the City of Westminster, Central London. The road forms the first part of the A3212 road from Trafalgar Square to Chelsea. It is the main thoroughfare running south from Trafalgar Square towards Parliament Square. The street is recognised as the centre of the Government of the United Kingdom and is lined with numerous departments and ministries, including the Ministry of Defence, Horse Guards and the Cabinet Office. Consequently, the name Whitehall is used as a metonym for the British civil service and government, and as the geographic name for the surrounding area.
The name was taken from the Palace of Whitehall that was the residence of Kings Henry VIII through to William III, before its destruction by fire in 1698
only the Banqueting House has survived. Whitehall was originally a wide road that led to the front of the palace
the route to the south was widened in the 18th century following the destruction of the palace.
As well as government buildings, the street is known for its memorial statues and monuments, including the UK's primary war memorial, the Cenotaph. South of the Cenotaph the thoroughfare becomes Parliament Street.
The name Whitehall was used for several buildings in the Tudor period. It either referred to a building made of light stone, or as a general term for any festival building. This included the Royal Palace of Whitehall, which in turn gave its name to the street
Numerous London bus routes run along Whitehall, including 12, 24, 88, 159 and 453
Downing Street leads off the south-west end of Whitehall, just above Parliament Street. It was named after Sir George Downing, who built a row of houses along the street around 1680 leading west from Whitehall.
Richmond House, at No. 79, has held the Department of Health since 1987. The building is scheduled to be a temporary debating chamber from 2025, while the Houses of Parliament undergo a refurbishment and modernisation programme

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AGP339 - Tire recycling, or rubber recycling, is the process of recycling waste tires that are no longer suitable for use on vehicles due to wear or irreparable damage. These tires are a challenging source of waste, due to the large volume produced, the durability of the tires, and the components in the tire that are ecologically problematic.
Because tires are highly durable and non-biodegradable, they can consume valued space in landfills. In 1990, it was estimated that over 1 billion scrap tires were in stockpiles in the United States. As of 2015, only 67 million tires remain in stockpiles. From 1994 to 2010, the European Union increased the amount of tires recycled from 25% of annual discards to nearly 95%, with roughly half of the end-of-life tires used for energy, mostly in cement manufacturing.
Newer technology, such as pyrolysis and devulcanization, has made tires suitable targets for recycling despite their bulk and resilience. Aside from use as fuel, the main end use for tires remains ground rubber.
In 2017, 13% of U.S. tires removed from their primary use were sold in the used tire market. Of the tires that were scrapped, 43% were burnt as tire-derived fuel, with cement manufacturing the largest user, another 25% were used to make ground rubber, 8% were used in civil engineering projects, 17% were disposed of in landfills and 8% had other uses

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JH5AKR - Most-wanted Iraqi playing cards
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq by a United States-led coalition, the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency developed a set of playing cards to help troops identify the most-wanted members of President Saddam Hussein's government, mostly high-ranking members of the Iraqi Regional Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party or members of the Revolutionary Command Council
among them were some of Hussein's family members. The cards were officially named the personality identification playing cards. As of 2021, all but 4 of the 52 most wanted have been either killed or captured, eleven of whom have been released.
Each card contains the wanted person's address and, if available, the job performed by that individual. The highest-ranking cards, starting with the aces and kings, were used for the people at the top of the most-wanted list. The ace of spades is Saddam Hussein, the aces of clubs and hearts are his sons Qusay and Uday respectively, and the ace of diamonds is Saddam's presidential secretary Abid Hamid Mahmud al-Tikriti. This strict correspondence to the order of the most-wanted list was not carried through the entire deck, but sometime later in 2003, the list itself was renumbered to conform (almost) to the deck of cards. The card backs feature camouflage reminiscent of that seen on the Desert Camouflage Uniform.
According to US Navy Lieutenant commander Jim Brooks, a spokesman for the Defense Intelligence Agency, such playing cards have been used as far back as the American Civil War & again in World War II”Army Air Corps decks printed with the silhouettes of German and Japanese fighter aircraft fetch hundreds of dollars today”and in the Korean War. Troops often play cards to pass the time,seeing the names, faces and titles of the wanted Iraqis during their games will help soldiers and Marines in case they run into the wanted individuals in the field.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYTHJ - Justitia
Often blindfolded lady with sword in right hand held vertically down to floor, and a set of balance scales in her left hand held neck high
Justitia blindfolded and holding balance scales and a sword.
Lady Justice (Latin: Iustitia) is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems. Her attributes are a blindfold, a balance, and a sword. She often appears as a pair with Prudentia, who holds a mirror and a snake.
Lady Justice originates from the personification of Justice in Ancient Roman art known as Iustitia or Justitia after Latin: Iustitia, who is equivalent to the Greek goddesses Themis and Dike.
The origin of Lady Justice was Iustitia, the goddess of Justice within Roman mythology. Iustitia was introduced by emperor Augustus, and was thus not a very old deity in the Roman pantheon.
Justice was one of the virtues celebrated by emperor Augustus in his clipeus virtutis, and a temple of Iustitia was established in Rome on 8 January 13 BC by emperor Tiberius. Iustitia became a symbol for the virtue of justice with which every emperor wished to associate his regime
emperor Vespasian minted coins with the image of the goddess seated on a throne called Iustitia Augusta, and many emperors after him used the image of the goddess to proclaim themselves protectors of justice.
Though formally called a goddess with her own temple and cult shrine in Rome, it appears that she was from the onset viewed more as an artistic symbolic personification rather than as an actual deity with religious significance.
The personification of justice balancing the scales dates back to the goddess Maat, and later Isis, of ancient Egypt. The Hellenic deities Themis and Dike were later goddesses of justice. Themis was the embodiment of divine order, law, and custom, in her aspect as the personification of the divine rightness of law.
