Bird flu: Free range turkey supplies hit by bird flu - BBC

Half of the free range turkeys produced for Christmas in the UK have been culled or have died due to bird flu, an industry chief has told MPs.

Richard Griffiths, chief executive of the British Poultry Council, said that 600,000 out of about 1.3 million free range birds had been lost.

The government recently ordered all poultry and captive birds in England to be kept indoors to fight avian flu.

Mr Griffiths said costs to the industry were "potentially enormous".

There are expected to be supply issues regarding free range turkeys as a result, but farmers say they are not sure if there will be price rises.

Defra and the British Poultry Council stress the issue is with free range turkeys, and there are no issues about supplies of other birds.

Richard Griffiths was speaking to the UK parliamentary committee on the environment, food and rural affairs.

He said about 36% of poultry farms in the country were now covered by some form of control, whether they've been affected or not.

"So it's huge and the costs for industry and food production are potentially enormous," he said.

Also speaking to MPs Paul Kelly, the owner of a turkey hatchery that supplies farms around the UK, said three of his premises had been affected.

He said the outbreak had been particularly hard on small-scale turkey producers.

"One guy I know in Norfolk, a wonderful little business... he supplied the butchers, the restaurants locally. His whole flock's gone and he hasn't got a business," he said.

"No farmer wants to get it. It is devastating and mentally it's traumatic for people."

Telford woman jailed for child neglect after boys denied food and forced to stand for hours - Shropshire Star

Samantha Paisley, aged 36, of Telford, has been sentenced at Shrewsbury Crown Court after pleading guilty in April this year.

Darren Paisley, aged 39, and Serena Sibson-Bartram, aged 35, both of Telford too, were previously sentenced in connection with the same case. They were sentenced to seven years and six months, and six years and six months respectively.

All three defendants were found to have seriously neglected the boys; the court previously heard how they made them stand in stress positions for hours and denied them food. They are now living in a safe family home.

The trio were arrested in May 2018 and Samantha Paisley was subsequently charged with two counts of child neglect between February 2014 and March 2018.

Detective Constable Vicky Fisher, who led the investigation, said: “Hopefully this third sentencing can provide the boys and their family with some closure from this very distressing case.

“We are grateful to the support of Telford and Wrekin Children’s Services and especially to the school who made the initial report.

“Many witnesses also came forward and we thank them for their bravery in helping deliver justice. We urge anyone with any concerns about the welfare of a child to please get in touch as soon as possible.”

Sunak is buffeted by Tory rebellion over onshore wind - The Times

Rishi Sunak is attempting to find a compromise over onshore wind power that will head off a Tory rebellion by supporters of the turbines, including Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, without provoking a backlash from MPs opposed to the developments.

The prime minister is considering lifting a ban on new onshore wind developments under pressure from cabinet ministers and senior backbenchers, but has yet to make a decision as he attempts to find out whether this would lead to a counter-rebellion from other MPs.

Wendy Morton, a former chief whip, last night became the latest MP to back an amendment proposed by Simon Clarke, the former levelling-up secretary, that would make it easier for local areas to allow onshore wind farms.

Earlier, Detective Superintendent Richard McDonagh had described the murders as "senseless" murders.

Police are particularly trying to trace a dark-coloured SUV type vehicle "with distinctive silver roof bars", seen in the area in the days before and prior to the killings.

Totley murder Sheffield: Married couple found dead at home named as Brian and Mary Andrews - The Star

Brian and Mary Andrews were found critically injured in their home on Terrey Road, Totley, this morning and were later pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency services were deployed to their detached property over concerns for the welfare of the occupants.

Mrs and Mrs Andrews, who have three grown up children – two daughters and a son – are believed to have lived in the same property for decades. Mr Andrews was a builder and had extended the property over the years to accommodate his growing family. His wife was a nurse during her working years.

The couple were well known in their local community, with Mr Andrews said to have walked to his local Co-op daily to collect his paper.

Neighbours and residents in the wider community have expressed their devastation and shock at the deaths.

Mr and Mrs Andrews’ home, with its immaculate garden, has been sealed off and under police guard today while CSI officers examined the property in a bid to help establish what exactly happened inside and when.

Posting on Facebook, Betsy Smith said: “Knew them, they was a lovely couple, may they rest in peace together.”

Chief Superintendent Shelley Hemsley, of South Yorkshire Police, said: “This incident will have no doubt caused a lot of concern within the community and our thoughts remain with the families of the pair who have sadly lost their lives this morning.

“We have a number of officers at the scene and expect them to be there for quite some time today as we carry out a thorough investigation. Anyone who may have any information – no matter how small it may seem – should contact us as it may assist with our enquiries.”
