    Keepers at Marwell Zoo say the female calf called Niari (meaning 'rare') and its mother Daphne are being kept out of the public eye so they can "enjoy some essential peace and quiet in the first few weeks of the nesting period".

  20. Ed Vaizey 'sad' at loss of Conservative seatspublished at 15:19 British Summer Time 3 May 2019

    Ed Vaizey, the Conservative MP for Wantage & Didcot, has given his thoughts on the results for the Vale of White Horse District and South Oxfordshire District councils.

    He said: "Over the last few months [our candidates] have delivered the Conservative message of strong local services to thousands of local residents.

    "However we see today that their efforts have not translated into electoral success; The Conservatives have lost control of both councils in my constituency and I’m sad to see hard working councillors who care deeply about their local communities lose their seats.

    "We must start our efforts now to restore faith in the Conservative Party, both locally and nationally, and I look forward to working with the new councils to continue to deliver excellent services to the residents of Wantage & Didcot."
