MANILA, PHILIPPINES - SEPTEMBER 17: Funeral workers load a body bag with the remains of Aljon Deparine, a victim of an alleged vigilante killing five years ago, which was exhumed after the lease on his tomb expired at a public cemetery on September 17, 2021 in Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines. Relatives witnessed as workers hammered down tombs and pulled out the unrecognizeable remains of their loved ones, who were killed five years ago during President Duterte's bloody war on drugs. The families, too poor to renew the leases on their loved-ones graves, received assistance from a Catholic charity to have the remains cremated instead. President Duterte's government announced that it will not cooperate with the International Criminal Court's probe into his brutal anti-drug campaign, nor allow any investigators into the country. Judges at the ICC announced it was conducting a formal investigation into Duterte's drug war, which human rights groups estimate have claimed the lives of more than 30,000 mostly poor people, by police in controversial anti-drugs operations or by vigilantes allegedly with the backing of the police.

REDCAR, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 19: The 55 metre high Dorman Long Tower (R) at Southbank on the former Redcar steelworks site is razed in a controlled demolition on September 19, 2021 in Redcar, England. The Dorman Long tower, a coal bunker, conveyor system and a chimney were demolished at the site early on Sunday morning as part of the development plans for the former Teesworks site by the South Tees Development Corporation - part of Mayor Ben Houchen's Tees Valley Combined Authority. Redcar and Cleveland Council recently gave the go-ahead to demolish the iconic 1950's Dorman Long tower on the former steelworks site but Historic England later confirmed it had awarded Grade II Listed status to the building which temporarily stopped demolition plans for the tower. Within the last few days it has since been stripped of that protection after the intervention of new Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries and demolition plans continued.

CALIFORNIA HOT SPRINGS CA - SEPTEMBER 21: The Windy Fire blazes through the Long Meadow Grove of giant sequoia trees near The Trail of 100 Giants overnight in Sequoia National Forest on September 21, 2021 near California Hot Springs, California. As climate change and years of drought push wildfires to become bigger and hotter, many of the worlds biggest and oldest trees, the ancient sequoias, have been killed. The giant trees are among the worlds biggest and live to more than 3,000 years, surviving hundreds of wildfires throughout their lifespans. The heat of normal wildfire of the past helped the trees reproduce but increasing fire intensity can now kill them. A single wildfire, the Castle fire, destroyed as much as 14 percent of all the worlds giant sequoias in 2020. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

GLASTONBURY, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 22: Participants take part in Key4Life’s rehabilitation programme which includes work with horses at the residential retreat centre, on September 22, 2021 in Butleigh near Glastonbury, United Kingdom. The Key4Life charity, started by CEO Eva Hamilton, MBE, works with ex-offenders through their seven-step equine therapy rehabilitation programme to break the cycle of crime, prison, more crime. During the equine therapy sessions young men complete exercises with horses to help them increase their emotional awareness and unlock pain, build trust and stronger boundaries, move through obstacles holding them back, and support them to take steps towards a positive future. Compared to the national proven re-offending rate of 64% one year post-release those completing the Key4Life rehabilitiaon are only 16% more likely to re-offend. Livvy Adams, Founder of Paintedhorse CIC, who leads the equine therapy sessions, says: “It’s wonderful to witness the change in the men, from when they first see the horses to when they finish the final exercise – they’re standing taller, they're generally smiling, their whole demeanour changes. Many of them have been continuously told they’ll never amount to anything. And today, when we just said - ‘That was really well done’ - you could see the change happening instantly. They know our praise is genuine, and they grow, they expand into a greater version of themselves.”<br>Tomorrow, 23 Sept 2021, Alderman William Russell, the Lord Mayor of the City of London, hosts the YOUNITED Flag award where the first 15 UK companies to employ ex-offenders will receive recognition from the Key4Life Charity.<br>(Photo by Finnbarr Webster/Getty Images)
