FUW welcomes progress of livestock worrying bill in Parliament
A CALL to allow a rural Pembrokeshire home next to an animal sanctuary for battery hens to be used without an agricultural condition has been refused by county planners. In an application to Pembrokeshire County Council through agent Colony Architects Ltd, Aaron Player sought permission for a Certificate of Lawful Development, allowing a removal of an agricultural occupancy condition at Brynhaul, near Tegryn, Llanfyrnach. A supporting statement said the agricultural-only condition was placed on the property, when the house was built in the 1990s; the land formerly part of a larger 75-acre estate. It added: 'The property is owned by Mr and Mrs Player, who purchase the property on April 8, 2022, some three years ago,' adding: 'Prior to this, the property was owned by the former owner for over 20 years, and operated the site as a livery and horse box customisation company call VJ Edwards.' Part of a Certificate of Lawful Development application involves providing evidence that – in this case – a continual non-agricultural use has taken place for at least 10 years. 'The two previous owners (Players and Edwards), have used the property as a dwelling, without any agricultural business for in excess of 20 years. The previous owners operated the company Edquine Ltd, from the property, between 2014 until 2020, when the company was closed.' It says there is 'robust evidence' that illustrates 'on the balance of probability' that the property has been used as a residential dwelling for in excess of 10 years'. Last year, Aaron Player was granted retrospective permission to keep an animal sanctuary for disabled animals and ex-battery hens at the site running, works having started in 2023. An officer report recommending refusal said the agricultural occupancy condition dates back to 1990. It references claims the site has been part used as an animal sanctuary, having gained permission last August, but says: 'It is noted that this permission did not include the dwelling subject of this application.' On previous the occupancy to the Players, the livery and horse box customisation company said to be there for some 20 years, it says: 'Evidence provided to corroborate this consists only of a file copy of a 'Certificate of Incorporation of a Private Limited Company', with a company name of 'Edquine Ltd'. 'There is no corresponding address with the Certificate to confirm the business was based at Brynhaul, what the business entailed, and who operated the business. In addition, the business name of Edquine Ltd also appears different to the business name of the horse box customisation business referred to previously in the statement as 'VJ Edwards'. The certificate merely confirms that a business was incorporated on July 7, 2014 under the name 'Edquine Ltd'.' It concludes: 'It is considered the statement and the certificate of incorporation do not on balance sufficiently demonstrate a continuous breach of the agricultural occupancy condition in excess of a 10-year period at Brynhaul as required.'

Pembrokeshire home next to animal sanctuary not allowed to drop farming-only use rule

Mineral licence approval now takes one week instead of 61 days, says ministry
PUTRAJAYA: The Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Ministry (NRES), through the National Minerals and Geoscience Department (JMG), has successfully reduced the approval time for the Mineral Licence (Without Storage Premises) from 61 days to just seven days under its Bureaucratic Red Tape Reform (RKB) project. According to NRES, the reform is expected to lower compliance costs for mineral trading companies by up to 20 per cent, boosting both domestic and international trade and generating an estimated RM1.3mil in annual revenue for the government. "This initiative reflects NRES' ongoing commitment to streamlining industry operations and enhancing the efficiency of public service delivery,' the ministry said in a statement on Friday (May 16). In recognition of this achievement, JMG received a Certificate of Appreciation presented by Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, to NRES secretary-general, Datuk Dr Ching Thoo a/l Kim, on April 10. The RKB project is part of the Special Task Force on Agency Reform (STAR), chaired by the Chief Secretary, and aims to expedite regulatory processes while reducing compliance costs for businesses and the public. This move also supports the Public Service Reform Agenda 2024-2030 and the Malaysia Madani vision, which seeks to improve government efficiency, drive productivity, and enhance public well-being. Additionally, the reform helps accelerate administrative processes, strengthen industrial competitiveness, and promote sustainable mineral exports. - Bernama

Limestone County judge denies ‘MAGA Lumberjack' bond again in rape case
LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — A Madison man accused of rape was denied bond a second time. Dillon Herrington, 33, is charged with rape from a 2023 incident. According to court documents, in Jan. 2024, Herrington was indicted by a grand jury for raping a woman who was incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated. Limestone County Circuit Judge Chadwick Wise denied him bond on Thursday afternoon. He was given the name 'MAGA Lumberjack' when he was accused of throwing a 4-by-4 piece of lumber at police and hurling a police barricade as part of charges that allege he impeded and intimidated law enforcement during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Herrington was granted a Certificate of Pardon regarding these federal charges on or about Feb. 25. During an Aniah's Law hearing on Jan. 5, 2024, Wise ordered Herrington be held without bond pending further court action. Court records obtained by News 19 show that on March 4, Herrington's attorneys filed a motion to set a reasonable bond. The attorneys said bond was not considered in the Jan. 2024 hearing because of a pending federal matter against him, which was later pardoned. During Thursday's hearing, Herrington's attorney said his client had been in the Limestone County Jail for 17 months, and during that time, he has had difficulty meeting with Herrington. The attorney argued Herrington is not a danger to anyone, saying no weapon was used in this case. According to Herrington's attorney, he has family ties in Madison. If granted bond, he said Herrington would be kept on the right path by his mother. The prosecutor argued that, though Herrington has received a pardon for his actions on Jan. 6, he still has a history of violence. She said he brought weapons with him to the capital and threatened law enforcement officers. The prosecutor said Herrington used violence in this case, arguing that the woman who was raped had injuries on her body. Wise ultimately ruled that Aniah's Law still applied in this instance, even with the pardon of his January 6 assault charges. In January 2025, documents show his jury trial date was scheduled for June 23. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

California man pleads guilty to selling at least $250,000 in fake sports and celebrity memorabilia
A California man is facing up to 20 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to selling hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fake sports memorabilia for nearly a decade, federal prosecutors said Monday. Anthony J. Tremayne, 58, agreed to a plea agreement that found him guilty of "selling memorabilia containing purportedly genuine signatures of famous athletes, musicians, actors, and other celebrities" from around 2010 until December 2019, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California said in a press release. Prosecutors said Tremayne provided items that he said contained genuine signatures and oftentimes included a "Certificate of Authenticity" form — although both were found to be bogus. He admitted to selling up to $550,000 of fake memorabilia. Tremayne's scheme was uncovered when, in November 2019, he sold a "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" photograph with forged signatures to an undercover FBI agent for $200. ESPN reported that the other forged items included signed memorabilia from members of the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, and other NBA teams. Multiple signed replica Stanley Cups, signed boxing gloves, and fraudulent Masters jackets and flags were among the other items reportedly sold. Movie memorabilia with forged signatures was also a part of the scheme. Tremayne, who currently resides in Mexico, was initially facing multiple charges, including 13 counts of wire fraud, but pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud as part of the plea deal. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 11. He faces up to 20 years in prison. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
