'Human hand' found on beach sparks police response - but all is not as it seems

Quote:

A "human hand" discovered on a beach near Swansea sparked an emergency police response - but all was not as it seemed.

While on patrol at Rhossili on the Gower, officers were called by members of the coastguard to Llangennith beach.

South Wales Police posted on Facebook that officers had received a report a "human foot/hand" had been found on the beach.

The force said the area in question is known for having parts of dead seals or other marine animals washed up.

It can be difficult for members of the public to tell the difference between human and seal bones, as seals also have five "fingers" and "toes", it said.

Gareth Richards, who runs the Gower Seal Group, happened to be walking past at the time and officers asked him for his help.

It took four hours for the officers and Mr Richards to track down the remains, before they could be identified as part of a seal.

He told Sky News a member of the public had taken photographs of what they believed to be a "human hand" sticking out of the sand.

"[A member of the public] took photographs and they sent the photographs in to the emergency services. But it's very difficult to be able to interpret the photograph and it did look a little bit suspicious," Mr Richards told Sky News.

"Of course, you can't actually beat going to the scene and taking a quick look myself."

The seal was about a year old and had been scavenged by birds, according to Mr Richards.

"I double-checked with the police first if it was okay to touch because it is potentially a crime scene, and they were quite happy for me to examine it a bit further," he said.

"And I just really splayed the fingers out and I could see that it was webbed, so it was a rear flipper of a North Atlantic grey seal."

He added: "Because of the type of call that actually came in, the duty investigator was informed, the crime scene investigators were on standby.

"So actually it probably saved the police, and certainly the taxpayer, quite a few thousands of pounds by just having that good relationship and me just happening to be in the area."

Mr Richards said it was just a case of luck that he was "in the right place at the right time".

"What I would say is [for] any members of the public who have any concerns whatsoever is to contact the appropriate authorities and let them come down and take over," he added.

More than 30 protests planned for this weekend in Southport stabbing aftermath

Quote:

More than 30 protests - many of them organised by far-right activists - are set to take place this weekend in the wake of the Southport stabbings, according to Sky News analysis.

They would follow violent protests earlier this week, which saw more than 100 people arrested outside Downing Street on Wednesday and 10 arrests in Sunderland on Friday night after a building next to a police station was set on fire and objects thrown at officers.

Sky News has seen posts on social media promoting more events in cities across the UK over the coming days, including one targeting a mosque, while counterprotests are also being planned in response to far-right demonstrations.

It has identified a total of 30 protests taking place today - 25 organised by far-right activists and five dubbed "anti-racist" counterprotests.

Another four far-right-organised protests and an event labelled as a "peaceful vigil" are planned for tomorrow.

Advocacy group Hope Not Hate says many of the events are "under a broad anti-multiculturalism, anti-Muslim and anti-government agenda" and have no single organiser.

They follow a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class at a community centre in Southport on Monday, which left three girls dead. The attack was followed by a wave of online misinformation about the attacker's background.

British police chiefs have agreed to deploy officers in large numbers over the weekend to deter violence and there will be extra prosecutors on standby to charge people who set out to cause violent disorder, according to Gavin Stephens, chair of the National Police Chiefs' Council.

"We will have surge capacity in our intelligence, in our briefing, and in the resources that are out in local communities," Mr Stephens told BBC Radio, adding having additional prosecutors available will ensure "we see swift justice".

100,000 Venezuelan far right fascists supported by Putin propaganda machine protest in opposition to Nicolas Maduro. :D

Maduro says he’s sending jailed protesters to the most violent prison in Venezuela, dominated by murderous gangs:

“We’ve captured 2000 & we are sending them to Tocorón and Tocuyito. This time there will be no forgiveness”

That will keep those far right fascist Putin propaganda machine supported protestors from marching against the state again. ;)

They don't look Fascists or communists to me, just normal people who want their government politicians to fix what they've broken.
Incompetent politicians always start by blaming everyone except themselves, throwing slogans around like confetti is the new norm, it deflects attention away from Maduro's corrupt government.
Will he be toppled?, that's a tough one to answer, but looking at those peaceful demonstrators I would say No.

Black bear and cub destroy car in Connecticut after getting trapped inside

Quote:

Trapped inside a car, the adult black bear and cub thrashed about. The horn was blaring and the radio blasting. Outside the car, a second cub ran around in apparent distress by the Connecticut home.

State environmental conservation police were called by the startled vehicle owner on the morning of July 15. They opened a door, and the two bears ran off into the woods safe and sound with the third bear. The car’s interior, however, wasn’t so fortunate: It was completely torn apart.

The incident in Winsted, in the state’s northwest corner not far from Massachusetts, was documented in photos and video taken by the car’s owner, who captured images of the bears in the car and the resulting destruction on a cellphone. Officials believe they got in the vehicle by opening a door, but it’s not clear how the door then closed.

Over a week, there have been three episodes involving bears in Connecticut that were publicly reported by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection — another sign of the increasing black bear population in the state.

On Saturday, a woman reported being bitten by a black bear in a backyard in Cheshire. She suffered minor injuries and declined treatment, officials said. Environmental conservation police found and euthanized the bear, which was taken away for testing.

On Sunday, a nearly 500-pound (227-kilogram) black bear was struck and killed by a car on a highway in Torrington, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection said.

While bears have been breaking into cars, trash bins and homes in the western U.S. for a long time, such incidents were rare in Connecticut a few decades ago. They’re now a growing phenomenon.

Chicken parade prompts changes to proposed restrictions in Iowa’s capital city

Quote:

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s capital city is establishing a new pecking order for backyard chickens and roosters after some of their diehard fans paraded around City Hall with some of their flocks on Monday.

City Manager Scott Sanders said in a statement issued Friday evening that he thinks the city can find a way to amend the proposed restrictions so they will “better serve the whole community,” including chicken owners. The proposal that got preliminary approval from the city council would have cut the number of birds allowed from 30 to 12 and ban the roosters that are disturbing the peace in some neighborhoods.

Chicken parade organizer Ed Fallon said the city seemed to be overreacting to a total of three complaints about chickens that were registered between the start of 2020 and June 2024. A small group of people holding chickens came out Monday to march from the Statehouse to City Hall.

Sanders said he asked Assistant City Manager Malcolm Hankins to draft an amendment that will be broadly accepted.

“After listening to Council Member concerns at the July 22 Council meeting, we believe there is a better path forward for an amendment to this ordinance at a later date,” Hankins said in the release.

The new rules should allow roosters but require the licensing of chickens and set up a process for dealing with nuisance animals that can’t contain their cock-a-doodle-dos.

Whale interrupts Olympic surfing in spectacular fashion in Tahiti

Quote:

A whale has breached the ocean in spectacular fashion as surfers competed in the Olympic competition in Tahiti.

The surprise 'photobomb' came as Tatiana Weston-Webb from Brazil and Brisa Hennessy of Costa Rica took part in the semi-final.

Luckily, the whale was a long way behind the pair as it launched itself into the air.

It's not unusual for seals and whales to be seen during surfing events - with a shark attack on Australian pro Mick Fanning famously caught on camera in 2015.

The whale picture is also the second eye-catching image from this year's Olympic surfing event.

Last week, a photo of Brazil's Gabriel Medina seemingly levitating above the ocean with his arm raised went viral.

Dolce & Gabbana launches dog perfume named after founder's pet

Quote:

Luxury Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana has released a perfume for dogs named after the co-founder's own pet.

Fefe is alcohol free and the firm says it has been safety-tested and approved by vets.

The €99 (£85) fragrance is described as an "olfactory masterpiece" featuring ylang ylang, musk and "creamy undertones" of sandalwood.

The bottle features a 24-carat gold-plated paw print and is said to be inspired by "the unwavering love for Domenico Dolce's loyal companion, Fefe".

The company's marketing says it offers "a touch of opulence, making every walk a fragrant and fashionable affair".

Domenico Dolce co-founded D&G with Stefano Gabbana in 1985, turning it into one of the world's most famous luxury brands.

Other companies, such as pet grooming firms, also sell dog perfume at a much cheaper price but it's believed to be the first time a big fashion house has released one.

Fefe is available online and in Dolce & Gabbana stores.

Fragrance for humans should not be used on animals as the chemicals can cause irritation and may be unpleasant for them, especially for dogs with their extremely sensitive sense of smell.

Children flee water screaming after 10ft shark swims into Cornwall harbour

Quote:

A10ft shark has been spotted lurking in a Cornwall harbour, causing children to start “screaming” as they rushed out of the water.

The children weren’t aware that the juvenile basking shark, which approached St Ives Harbour at 9pm on Tuesday, was actually harmless.

Around 30 children and teenagers fled the water when they spotted the ominous dorsal fin around 20ft away in the clear blue water, as the shark swam along the harbour wall and beach.

Basking sharks can grow up to 26ft (7.9m) long - but according to Andy Narbett of Tiger Lilly Boat Trip St Ives, they are “harmless”.

Mr Narbett took a photo of the huge shark, excited to see a species which hasn’t visited the bay for years.

“It was incredible to see it so close; it is very rare as we haven’t seen any basking sharks for some years in the bay. The poor kids who were in the water must have only been 20ft from it,”

He said the children “didn’t realise it was harmless”, so they began “screaming and got straight out” of the sea.

“At a guess there were 20 kids playing on the small beach and eight in the water on paddle boards. I went on social media and joked afterwards that Jaws had entered the harbour” he added.

Basking sharks, the UK’s biggest fish which can reach over 10,000lbs when fully grown, were once fished for their meat, fins and liver oil - but became protected in 1998 due to overexploitation and declining numbers.

They are the second-largest living species of shark and are filter feeders - meaning they do not hunt actively, but are passive sharks which swim with their mouths wide open to feed on plankton and other minute sealife.

One of just three species which feed on plankton, they enter shallow waters in the UK during spring and summer in order to feed.

Iraq proposes lowering legal age of marriage for girls to NINE

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...rls-marry.html

"Critics fear the Shia code would be based on 'Jaafari jurisprudence', allowing girls as young as nine and boys as young as 15 to marry. Under current Iraqi law, both can marry from 18."

Sensationalist headlines as usual, what the headline misses out is that the Iraqi community categorically rejects these proposals but, this is the Media spreading misinformation as usual, it's time they were brought to heel.
