A pet beagle, dubbed Britain's naughtiest dog could be stuck with the title for a little longer, despite a special six-week training programme. 

Dusty earned the title last month after he ran on to the football pitch at Halesowen and brought the game to a standstill.

Aston Expressway - closed to traffic this morning following the discovery of a WW2 bomb - could stay shut into tomorrow, police say.

The West Midlands force expects it to be blocked to traffic until Tuesday morning "while bomb disposal experts make safe" the device, found at a construction site in Priory Road Aston at about 09:45. 

The discovery of the German shell, thought to weigh about 500lbs (227kg), led to the evacuation of homes and businesses lying within a 500m exclusion zone imposed by police.

The operation has caused road and rail disruption, with the Cross City line closed between Birmingham New Street and Lichfield Trent Valley.
