A white Wyoming state legislator has apologized after sparking outrage by posting a racially charged tweet seemingly poking fun at the state’s first black sheriff. Republican state Rep. Cyrus Western replied on social media on Monday to an article about Albany County Sheriff Aaron Appelhans’ recent appointment with a clip that showed a black character from the classic comedy Blazing Saddles asking, 'Hey, where the white women at?'

Not to mention outdoorsy.  Ciara the Cow — so called because she arrived during Storm Ciara in February — would rather spend the festive period indoors, with the family, thank you very much. 'She was fed by hand as a calf because her mother didn't have any milk, so she thinks she's a human,' says Amanda Owen, aka the Yorkshire Shepherdess and the woman who is possibly the most famous (not to mention glamorous) farmer in Britain.

Claude Wehrle offers fire safety advice to families in his role as a part-time fire brigade lieutenant in the picturesque town of Colmar. But he is refusing to give evidence to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, using an obscure French law that he claims prevents him from taking the stand. He is considered a crucial witness because he warned the cladding was dangerous six years before 72 people died when the tower caught fire in June 2017.

Retailers were accused of profiteering as it emerged that some motorway services are charging more than £10 over the national average for a tank of fuel. Average pump prices have risen to 115.5p a litre for unleaded and 118.9p for diesel, compared with lows of 106.7p and 111.9p in May.
