  3. Adder warning after deaf spaniel bittenpublished at 14:18 British Summer Time 22 May 2018

    A deaf dog's "excessive curiosity" got him into trouble when he was bitten by a venomous snake.

    Spaniel Toby could not hear his owner's warnings as he went chasing after an adder on Cavenham Heath, near Newmarket, Suffolk, earlier this month.

    The dog was bitten on the face and rushed to specialist vets Dick White Referrals in Six Mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire, with severe swelling.

    Toby needed four days of care at the surgery before recovering.

    Staff have warned dog owners to be aware of the snakes at this time of year.

    Adders vary in length from 40cm to 70cm (16in to 28in) and can be distinguished from other non-poisonous native species by the zig-zag pattern on their backs, or V or X-shaped markings on their heads.

    They tend to wake up after their winter's hibernation in the spring and are known to inhabit sand dunes, moorland and the edges of woods.

    If a dog is bitten, vets say immediate treatment is needed to reduce the chances of the venom entering the lymphatic and circulatory system, causing widespread inflammation, fever, heart issues, kidney failure and convulsions.

    Adder bites are relatively rare in the UK and only about 100 confirmed cases are reported each year.

    Ed Sheeran has taken an aggressive stance against touts by cancelling more than 10,000 tickets for his upcoming stadium tour.

    After the tour went on sale, the star's team identified purchases by known touts and revoked their tickets.

    Any tickets listed for re-sale on sites like Viagogo were also cancelled.

    Fans who'd bought from those sites - often at vastly inflated prices - were given assistance in claiming refunds and getting genuine tickets.

    So far, more than £240,000 has been returned to fans who inadvertently bought invalid tickets.

    Stuart Galbraith of concert promoters Kilimanjaro Live, said:

    Quote Message

    We're achieving exactly what Ed wanted, which is 'we want you to come in and pay this [fixed] price.

    A further 500 tickets are going to be cancelled this week, ahead of the first date of the tour at Manchester's Etihad Stadium, he added.

    Sheeran's team decided to pursue touts after hundreds of tickets for a Teenage Cancer Trust gig were snapped up and sold for profit last March.

    He imposed strict conditions on his 18-date stadium tour, including:

    • Names printed on tickets, with ID required at the door
    • A maximum of four tickets per customer
    • Tickets listed for resale to be cancelled
    • Any tickets bought by a "business or trader" to be cancelled

  19. Parents' group to oppose Yarmouth school mergerpublished at 18:32 British Summer Time 21 May 2018

    Trafalgar College, a free school, has also been designated as a school of Christian character by the government for its amalgamation with Great Yarmouth Charter Academy (GYCA), a decision opposed vehemently by parents of the Keep Trafalgar College Separate group

    Louise Alderman of the group said: "We want to make it absolutely clear that as parents in a multi-faith secular school, we don't want a Christian-designated school for our children."

    Both high schools are run by the Inspiration Trust, whose chief executive Dame Rachel de Souza said they would merge in time for the new academic year.

    "Bringing the schools together was a tough decision but we believe it offers the best opportunity to secure the broadest, highest quality curriculum for children in the town," she said.
