Sheep dies ‘after being chased off cliff'
A sheep was killed when it was allegedly chased over a cliff edge in Cornwall, police have said. Members of the public confronted a man following the incident in Polly Joke, near Newquay, on July 27, according to Devon and Cornwall Police, who added that it was alleged the man reacted aggressively. In a statement, the force said: 'We know this incident has had a huge impact on the local community and we can't imagine why anyone would willingly chase or harm an innocent animal. 'Behaviour like this is unacceptable and we will continue to work alongside the investigating officers to bring the offender to justice. 'We believe there were a number of people who witnessed this incident who are yet to come forward but who may be able to assist us in our investigation. 'If you were in the area and have any information that may help us, please, please come forward.' Sam Haylett, of Guildford, Surrey, has denied responsibility for the sheep's death on social media, after a picture of him circulated across several platforms. It was claimed on social media that Mr Haylett and his two teenage sons had chased the sheep, but while he admits he was there, he said another man was responsible. Children 'upset' by shouting man Mr Haylett said: 'Just to set things straight. Yes that is me in the picture that everyone has been sharing around and yes I was down in Cornwall. 'I went away for a week with my whole family to spread my grandma and grandad's ashes at their special place. 'We stopped at a few spots and took lots of beautiful pictures, there were lots of sheep running around the fields and below us.' Mr Haylett said his children became 'upset' because they thought the sheep were stuck, before a man came 'shouting and swearing', accusing his children of chasing the sheep. He said: 'This made the children even more upset! I told him to stop swearing at the children but he continued to shout and said 'How the f--- would you like it if I threw you off the cliff?' to which I replied, 'You would be going first.' Mr Haylett claimed that the man walked towards the single sheep on the edge, which made the sheep run and then slip. He said: 'I'm not sure if it fell down as we were further up and it's very dangerous along there, the man was still shouting so we walked off. 'There was another couple at the top of the path who both said that the man was out of order for shouting at the children and they weren't chasing the sheep.'

For the BBC to survive it must radically change its culture… from top to bottom
Beeb's mess WHAT a sorry mess the BBC has now got itself into. Nothing sums up its self-inflicted plight more than deciding to last night broadcast MasterChef featuring Gregg Wallace and John Torode. 1 After some frantic editing, they stripped the show of all 'jokes' — but still managed to put two stars who were sacked in disgrace just two weeks ago on screen 100 times. Little wonder Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy refused to watch. Meanwhile, as we report today, the probe into allegations of a toxic culture at BBC Breakfast is set to be widened. And the furore over the Corporation's broadcasting of an antisemitic rant by the rapper Bob Vylan continues. It's deeply disturbing that Beeb bosses have been unable to convince Ms Nandy the scandal could not be repeated. From Strictly to Huw Edwards, Auntie lurches from one fiasco to another — with angry viewers fobbed off with that tired old excuse about 'lessons being learned'. This matters because licence-fee payers are forced by law to fund the Corporation — and so have little option but to suck up the mayhem and mismanagement. For the BBC to survive, it must radically change its culture….from top to bottom. Sinking plans LABOUR has unveiled a raft of policies this week aimed at stopping the boats. Each shallow gimmick has already quickly unravelled. John Torode sacked by BBC after being accused of using N-word while singing along to Kanye West song Gold Digger How can ministers catch the people-smugglers 'illegally' advertising crossings on social media given they mostly operate from abroad? How will prosecutors identify those committing a 'criminal offence' by causing overcrowding on the dinghies? Is it the first person on the boat . . . or should it be the last? Labour's one-in-one-out deal with France also looks doomed already as migrants can use human rights laws to fight deportation — while the French have power of veto over any swap. Certainly, the migrants — who arrived by the boatload again yesterday — aren't taking any notice. Kinnock knock DESPERATE patients trapped on endless NHS lists are increasingly turning to private healthcare to get treatment. Many are not rich but use hard-earned savings to do so. Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock — on a massive EU pension and no stranger to paying privately himself — now says they should cough up VAT, too.

Ghislaine Maxwell banned from cushy prison's puppy programme
Ghislaine Maxwell has been banned from playing with puppies at the soft-touch prison she was transferred to last week. The British socialite and former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein was quietly moved from a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, to a less stringent minimum-security facility in Bryan, Texas. Described as a 'luxury' jail by Epstein's victims, Federal Prison Camp (FCP) Bryan allows inmates to play with puppies under a partnership with Canine Companions for Independence to train service animals. The programme, which involves prisoners playing with puppies throughout the day and even sleeping with them in their cells, is said to 'boost the inmates' morale, provide them with a sense of responsibility and improve overall behaviour', according to the charity's website. However, Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking underage girls for Epstein, is prohibited from joining the programme owing to the nature of her crimes. 'Maxwell will never be allowed [to] raise or train a Canine Companions service dog puppy,' a spokesman for the programme told The Telegraph. 'Our prison programme policy includes requirements for eligibility, many of which involve the individual's conviction. 'None of our incarcerated volunteers have been convicted of a crime involving children, animals, or of a sexual nature.' FCP Bryan, located 100 miles outside of Houston, is home to 635 inmates, according to the prison's website. Most of its intake is serving time for non-violent offences and white-collar crimes. The prison's high-profile inmates include Elizabeth Holmes – the founder of Theranos, a fraudulent blood-testing company – and Jen Shah, a reality television personality. Ms Maxwell is believed to be the only person detained at the facility for crimes related to sex trafficking. The highly unusual decision to move her without the involvement of the US Marshals service, which usually deals with interstate inmate transport, came after Maxwell spoke with Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general. Over two days of questioning, Mr Blanche quizzed Maxwell about Epstein's links to a string of powerful individuals, including Donald Trump, former president Bill Clinton and Bill Gates, according to multiple reports. Trump under pressure Mr Trump, who on Tuesday said he was not made aware of the move, is under extreme pressure from his supporters to release all government records on Epstein. He faces increasing pressure from supporters and foes alike, amid widespread conspiracy theories that the disgraced financier was killed to stop his 'client list' of powerful associates from being released. Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and did not possess a client list, the DoJ and FBI concluded last month, as they refused to make files public or release any more information. Inmates at FCP Bryan have complained about Ms Maxwell's arrival, with one prisoner saying they are 'disgusted' by the prospect of spending time behind bars alongside a sex offender. Julie Howell, 44, who is serving a one-year sentence for theft, previously told The Telegraph that 'every inmate I've heard from is upset she's here'. 'This facility is supposed to house non-violent offenders,' she said. 'Human trafficking is a violent crime. 'As a mother of a sex-trafficking victim, I'm absolutely disgusted she's in this facility. Regardless of her reasoning, I don't think she belongs here.' FCP Bryan was approached for comment.
