Johnny Depp had appeared on a list of potential witnesses compiled by lawyers defending his ex-wife Amber Heard

Heard’s team decided not to call the U.S. actor to the stand as the defamation case enters its sixth, and final week.

Depp told jurors he never hit Heard and argues she was the abuser in their relationship.

He says Heard threw a vodka bottle at him in early 2015, severing the top of his right middle finger.

Under cross-examination, Johnny Depp’s attorney grilled Heard’s expert orthopaedic surgeon on his ruling of Depp’s finger injury.

A psychiatrist called by Heard’s team inferred Johnny Depp was gaslighting Heard throughout their relationship.

Depp appeared to chuckle when the psychiatrist started to discuss victim blaming.

At the start of the trial, many big names – including billionaire Elon Musk, and actor James Franco – had been rumoured to testify. But none showed.

Now, a source close to Johnny Depp says British supermodel Kate Moss will testify on Wednesday.

Earlier in the trial, Johnny Depp’s attorney Ben Chu appeared to celebrate with a fist pump when Amber Heard mentioned Kate Moss during her testimony.

In this special interview, the Earth.io CEO discusses the critical role of soil carbon in tackling climate change and her mission to reshape the future of sustainable business.

Samantha Jewell, founder and CEO of Urth.io, is on a mission to change the way businesses think about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, particularly in the area of soil carbon stewardship.

In a recent on Ticker News, Jewell underscored the importance of reducing carbon emissions and the critical role businesses can play in addressing climate change.

One key focus of Urth.io is supporting farmers in creating carbon offsets through responsible soil management.

“Soil carbon is one of the most underappreciated tools we have to combat climate change,” Jewell explained.

However, she acknowledges the challenges, particularly the complexity of regulations and the need to shift mindsets among both farmers and buyers.

Revealing book

Jewell’s book, *Carbon is Not a Dirty Word*, serves as a practical guide for businesses and individuals looking to implement sustainable practices.

“The book is about making sustainability accessible, whether you’re a business leader or a farmer,” she said.

As ESG becomes a central concern for many industries, Jewell believes that education and a commitment to long-term change are essential.
