German Shepherd Theo was deployed by his handler after a suspect refused to surrender to police following a chase through Hyde, Manchester. Mobile phone footage filmed by a horrified bystander shows the man sink his teeth into the six-year-old police dog after it captures him in the middle of the road. He can be seen in the clip repeatedly hitting and kicking Theo as he tries to break free of the dog's grip. Theo suffered a wound to his head after being bitten and was unable to lie down for several days due to bruising, while his handler PC Gareth Greaves was left with a split lip and a broken hand. PC Greaves has now called for a change in the law to protect animals injured while on duty - after Theo was also set on fire in another incident.

Rowling would prefer to continue using a three-year-old disabled boy to falsely smear Donald Trump, such is her blind hatred for the man. By doing so, she is telling her millions of young impressionable Potter fans that it's absolutely fine to lie and never correct or apologise for a lie - after spending the past two years telling them that Trump is disgusting because he lies and never corrects or apologises for his lies. This makes her a shameful, disgraceful hypocrite. Nobody should believe a word this self-appointed High Priestess of Honesty ever says again, about anything.

Electoral authorities said more than 8million people voted on Sunday to create a constitutional assembly endowing President Nicolas Maduro's ruling party with virtually unlimited powers - a figure widely disputed by independent analysts.

Researchers from the Universities of Exeter and Cambridge have discovered that individual wild birds adjust their choices of where to nest based on their patterns and colours. The study looked at nine remarkably hard-to-see ground-nesting bird species, including nightjars, plovers and coursers. While studying the birds in Zambia, the researchers found that each bird chose a background that enhanced their camouflage to the visual systems of their main predators. It is not yet clear how individuals choose places to suit their appearance. Pictured are four fiery-necked nightjars hidden in their surroundings.
