On Thursday, Merseyside Police said a woman in her 50s remained in hospital in a stable condition after being stabbed in the back, arms and face, while a man in his 20s was treated for less serious knife injuries and discharged from hospital.

So everything had to be carefully phased for what experts call a "black start" working out as a success.The initial focus was on hydro-electric plants, in particular pumped-storage plants with reservoirs full at this time of year and able to produce electricity fast from a standing start.

Combined-cycle gas plants also played a significant part in repowering the grid, but four nuclear power reactors at Almaraz, Ascó and and Vandellós were automatically shut down by the outage, and three others were already offline anyway.Spain's neighbours France and Morocco also came to its aid.Morocco said 900MW of power had been transferred through two high-voltage lines that cross the Strait of Gibraltrar from Fardioua to Tarifa in southern Spain.

French operator RTE said it had been "gradually transferring more electricity to the Spanish border" via its power lines supplying Catalonia in north-east Spain and the Basque country in the north-west.RTE said the Iberian network had been disconnected from 12:38 to 13:30 on Monday, when the 400kV line to Catalonia was restored. Within minutes, France had supplied 700MW and RTE said it was later able to increase that by up to 2,000 MW.

Power was then eventually restored to Spain's electricity substations in the north, south and west of the peninsula.

By 19:20 on Monday, the grid operator said more than a fifth of demand had been restored by way of Spain's own electricity generation and from France.Coldplay have also funded two solar-powered "ocean cleanup river interceptors", which extract plastics from the ocean.

MIT's Professor John E Fernandez praised the band for "setting a new standard for the entire music industry"."With each subsequent year of their tour, they demonstrate an evolving vision and expanded commitment to move the entire music industry toward true and humane sustainability and planetary resilience."

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today programme in December, Martin said he wanted to prove that sustainable touring was achievable."What we’re trying to do is actually not advocate at all but just prove that it makes business sense - because that’s where we feel you’ll really get people to change, saying, ‘Hey you can make more money'.
