Fears fisherman has walked off with five hand grenades
A fisherman believed to have walked off with five unexploded hand grenades is being urged to hand them in urgently. The 'volatile' weapons were discovered near a canal in Hopwood, Birmingham. Two of the grenades were safely detonated, but a man in his 50s with grey hair is thought to have left with the rest of them. The man, who was wearing green trousers, is thought to have found the weaponry which witnesses say he found while magnet fishing. Members of the public have been warned to keep their distance if they spot the bombs and call 999 immediately. Pictures of the two recovered grenades show how the weapons can easily be concealed and go unnoticed if discarded in undergrowth. The grenades were discovered at around 6pm on Friday June 20. A search to locate the remaining unexploded ordnances continued into Saturday June 21. Inspector Richard Field said: 'I can reassure that person they're not in any trouble with police. 'My primary objective is to recover the hand grenades and to make them safe.' A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: 'We continue to urge the man that found the grenades to contact us so that they can be safely recovered. 'He may not be aware of the significant safety risk they pose.' Thousands of unexploded ordnances or UXOs are discovered every year, including washed up on beaches, in gardens, on construction sites and in bodies of water. Weapons contain compounds that become more sensitive as they age, according to risk mitigation company 1st Line Defence. They also pose environmental risks if left untouched for a significant length of time, such as ground contamination. Members of the public who encounter UXOs should not touch or disturb them but call police. Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at webnews@ For more stories like this, check our news page.

Mediator reportedly proposes $20m settlement in Trump suit against CBS
Donald Trump and CBS could settle their legal battle over a contested interview with Kamala Harris for $20m, as the dispute continues to shadow a major media merger. A mediator has proposed the settlement figure to resolve Trump's lawsuit against CBS News over alleged deceptive editing of a 60 Minutes interview with Harris during last year's presidential campaign, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. The lawsuit, filed in October and later amended to seek $20bn in damages, accused CBS of election interference through selective editing that allegedly made Harris appear more coherent in her responses about the Israel-Gaza conflict. CBS has consistently denied wrongdoing, saying it simply aired a more concise version of Harris's answer rather than doctoring her comments. The proposed deal would see $17m donated to Trump's presidential foundation or museum, with additional millions covering legal costs and funding public service announcements against antisemitism on Paramount-owned networks. However, negotiations remain stuck on Trump's demand for an apology from CBS – something the network has refused to provide, sources familiar with the talks tell the WSJ. The dispute also complicates Paramount's $8.4bn merger with Skydance Media, as Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr indicated that the controversy could influence regulatory approval of the deal. According to the reporting, settlement discussions began in mediation this spring after Paramount initially offered $15m – less than Trump's team demanded. The proposed $20m figure aligns with recent settlements between Trump and other major media companies. Disney paid $15m to the Trump presidential foundation and another $1m for his lawyer fees to resolve a defamation case involving ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos in December, while Meta agreed to a $25m settlement over Trump's social media account suspension following the 6 January riot at the Capitol. The legal pressure has contributed to mass upheaval at CBS News, with both longtime 60 Minutes producer Bill Owens and news division chief Wendy McMahon announcing their departures earlier this year amid tensions over the network's response to the lawsuit.
