The latest attack saw one of the shrieking gulls pounce just as a man is about to take a bite out of his recently bought £3 treat as he walks along the seafront with his wife in Lyme Regis, Dorset. As he went to take a lick the greedy gull clamped its beak around the ball of ice cream. His wife scrunches her face in terror before she places her hand above her own ice cream in an act of protection. Luckily for the man the ice cream remained in the wafer cornet and the seagull only managed to take a bite before flying away.

It was a school science class that made Aisha learn that her siblings' suffering disabilities were not 'God's will'. Now she's helping drive a generation away from the high-risk practice of marrying a cousin

Something clicked in 14-year-old Aisha Ali-Khan's brain while sitting in the classroom one day and listening to her science teacher. It was a discussion about genetics and an explanation of how genes are passed from parents to their children; how some genes are dominant and some recessive; and what risks are inherent in the case of both parents carrying a recessive gene. Aisha immediately began to understand the potentially devastating effects that so-called 'cousin marriages' (the union of closely related individuals) might have on the offspring. 'I remember going home from school and asking my mum and dad, "Is this why my brothers died?" 'She tells me,'she tells me.' Aisha grew up in Keighley, about eight miles from Bradford, where one out of every four residents are Pakistani and Muslim. Many, cousin, or 'consanguineous' marriages have been the norm.

According to the study, the number of marriages between Pakistani cousins in Bradford has decreased dramatically in the last decade

According to a survey, the number of cousins marrying in Bradford's Pakistani community has decreased sharply in the last decade. The reasons for the decrease are believed to include higher educational attainment, tighter immigration controls, and shifts in family dynamics. The figures may show that as a whole, the number of Pakistani people marrying cousins around the UK is decreasing. When researchers did a survey of more than 30,000 people in Bradford ten years ago, they discovered that 60% of babies in the Pakistani community had been born to first or second cousins.

After disappointing results, the ethical drinks business, which was founded by three Cambridge graduates and known for its popular fruit smoothies, is pulling out the trendy beverages. On the Tesco website, the £1.85 drinks, which are available in hazelnut, coconut, and almond flavours, are already labeled as'sold out.' Over the past decade, plant-based milk has risen in popularity. About one in three Britons used the alternative milk in 2021. However, the vegan drink's popularity has waned in the wake of the cost-of-living crisis. An Innocent spokesperson tweeted (inset): 'Nutterly sad news,' despite the lack of concern.' We're sorry to announce that our dairy-free range will be out of stores in the next few weeks.'
