A woman who tried to heroically save a stricken sheep has been left feeling embarrassed after she also got stuck and had to be rescued when the RSPCA turned up to assist with the animal. The red-faced adventurer and her partner spotted the ewe stranded on a narrow ledge in a quarry in Ilston, near Swansea, South Wales, and without a second thought, the woman clambered 12ft (3.6 metres) up the rockface to try and save it. But after realising how high up she was and getting scared, the woman was unable to get herself back down the rockface and was left frozen in place until the RSPCA turned up to help free the farm animal . Eventually, RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer Andrew Harris was able to get the woman to safety, while firemen were called in to save the sheep.

Donald Trump has suggested nuclear war is "more likely to happen than not" for the United States because of President Joe Biden . Writing on Truth Social, the former president said he never thought "in my wildest imagination" that the U.S. would be involved in a nuclear war. "Now, however, because of our leaders rhetoric and very poor choice of words, it is perhaps more likely to happen than not," Trump said. "Russia/Ukraine would NEVER have happened under a TRUMP Administration. Now there are fewer cards to play, but still very playable. China up next?" His comments follow Biden indicating the U.S. military would defend Taiwan if China, a major nuclear power, attacked the island—remarks the White House insisted were not a policy change—and as NATO indirectly helps Ukraine defend itself from Russia, which has the largest stockpile of nuclear warheads in the world. Trump made similar comments in an interview on Real America's Voice show Outside the Beltway, which … [Read more...] about Donald Trump suggests nuclear war “more likely to happen than not”

President Joe Biden 's remarks on Monday about the U.S. "commitment" to defend Taiwan militarily if the island is attacked by China appears to represent a more aggressive approach than previous presidents have taken. While Biden said that the U.S. policy of so-called "strategic ambiguity" on Taiwan had not changed, his comments are his strongest warning yet to China that the U.S. would defend Taiwan if it's attacked. Biden may feel emboldened to take a harder line against China following the strategic failures of the Russian invasion of neighboring Ukraine, where Russian forces could not seize the capital city of Kyiv during the first stage of the war and have subsequently fallen back. The president directly linked the issue of a hypothetical Chinese attack on Taiwan to the Russia-Ukraine conflict on Monday as he answered a question about Taiwan's defense. Biden told reporters in Tokyo that China was "already flirting with danger right now by flying so close and all the … [Read more...] about Joe Biden, emboldened by Russia’s failures, gets aggressive toward China

Fox News' host Tucker Carlson has faced ridicule online after he called for the Democrats to dial down their rhetoric. During his show on Monday night, Carlson played a clip of former Fox News reporter Carl Cameron, who spoke on CNN on Saturday. Cameron said that Carlson had been "screaming fire in a crowded movie house". "The fact of the matter is, if you disturb the peace by starting a riot in a movie theatre, the cops are going to arrest you and you might end up in jail or you might end up in something worse," Cameron said. "That kind of stunt absolutely has to stop. Whether it is the anti-trust bill to take down and de-platform people who lie and put out falsehoods that cause damage and violent hate, there ought to be something done about it. "The administration is beginning to make a move on that, it has been way overdue," he said. A video clip of Carlson's reply to Cameron's statement has begun to go viral on Twitter and has been viewed over 580,000 times. … [Read more...] about Tucker Carlson mocked for telling Democrats to “de-escalate the rhetoric”

Thomas Markle is sharing a YouTube channel with a press photographer who checked out the house next door to Meghan Markle 's mother—even after his own past run-ins with the paparazzi. Karl Larsen took a widely circulated set of photographs of Meghan and Prince Harry at the polo on Saturday. He also runs a critical YouTube channel about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with his co-host—Meghan's father Thomas Markle. And Larsen visited the house next door to Meghan's mother Doria when it was up for sale, touring the backyard where he suggested he could hear children playing .

However, the saga has echoes of Thomas Markle's own experiences with the paparazzi in the run-up to Meghan and Harry's royal wedding in 2018. The Duchess of Sussex told Oprah Winfrey in her March 2021 tell-all: "They moved into the apartment next … [Read more...] about Thomas Markle now hosting show with photographer who targets Meghan, Doria

A man has been banned from keeping animals for two years after dogs were found crammed into a livestock trailer at Appleby Horse Fair. When RSPCA inspectors examined the trailer, they found some of the dogs and puppies, who were confined in cages, were suffering from parasite infections. A German shepherd puppy was in such poor health that sadly a vet decided she needed to be put to sleep to end her suffering. The RSPCA initially took 14 dogs from the trailer into its care, and prosecuted two people for neglecting 10 of the animals. John Lowther, of Kidacre Park, Leeds and Marina Lowther, of Westway, Farsley, Leeds, both pleaded guilty to four charges of causing unnecessary suffering to animals under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 when they appeared for sentencing at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on May 10.
