This is the incredible moment two screaming eagles clashed in mid-air over a Scottish loch. The white-tailed sea eagles – the UK's largest bird of prey – were hovering at almost 100ft when the talons came out on the Isle of Mull in the Hebrides last week. The image of the predators, which have a wingspan of up to 8ft, was captured by photographer Gary Jones from Buckley in North Wales. Two giant eagles became embroiled in a bout of 'air-rage' - locking talons and appearing to 'shout' at each as they tussled in a mid-air scrap It lasted only a few seconds before one eagle chased the other away The white-tailed sea eagles – the UK's largest bird of prey – were hovering at almost 100ft The disagreement unfolded as the birds became territorial over the area, locked talons and snapped at each other with their beaks. It lasted only a few seconds before one eagle chased the other away. Although feathers were ruffled, this was a joyous moment for the 52-year-old dad, wh

Labour demanded an inquiry last night into whether Boris Johnson broke the ministerial code by flying in to campaign in a by-election. The Prime Minister used his taxpayer-funded official private plane to travel to Hartlepool in April.  Deputy leader Angela Rayner requested the probe after it emerged the Conservatives had declared they spent 'nil' on transport. The rules say ministers 'must not use Government resources for party political purposes'.  But the Tories denied breaking the code as Mr Johnson flew to the North-East for a Government visit to Middlesbrough.  He was then driven to Hartlepool in an official car, which a spokesman said is allowed for security reasons.  Mr Johnson flew to Teesside on April 1, five days after the campaign for Hartlepool began.

Scott Morrison has urged residents in lockdown-free Queensland and Western Australia to get vaccinated now because 'Covid is coming'. Australia's two largest states are lagging behind the rest of the nation in their vaccination rates, with 47 per cent of Queenslanders and 46 per cent of Western Australians having had at least one dose. The ACT and NSW are leading the country with 59 per cent of residents on at least one dose, according to official figures released on Monday. A young couple are seen walking along Cottesloe Beach foreshore in virus-free Perth In an interview with KIIS FM on Tuesday morning, Mr Morrison said residents in WA and QLD were less fussed about getting the jab because their lives are largely normal. Queensland recently eliminated a small outbreak and removed restrictions and WA has not had a locally acquired Covid-19 case since August 5. 'I was talking to people there yesterday,' Mr Morrison said, referring to WA's relatively low vaccina

In a profanity-filled voicemail, an Iowa woman blasted State Rep. Carter Nordman, accusing him of encouraging 'White nationalism,' because of his support for recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. 'When did we start teaching White nationalism in schools? Because that's exactly what the f**k you're doing, sir, and you have absolutely no right to require something like that,' the anonymous caller said.  'Our children aren't proud to be American,' she added, noting that maybe 'White suburban kids' may be proud to be U.S. citizens because their rights are afforded to them every day and they don't have to fight for them,' but argued that minorities, women, the poor and the elderly are 'not f***king proud'. Nordman was one of the legislators who advocated for the recent passage of House File 415, which requires Iowa public schools to recite the pledge and display the American flag at least once each day. An Iowa w

Military officials have warned Joe Biden he must decide whether to keep US troops in Afghanistan by Tuesday - otherwise they will miss his August 31 deadline to leave. CNN reported that the withdrawal decision must come within hours, to give them time to remove all 5,800 US service personnel currently on the ground in Kabul, as well as their equipment and weaponry.    Any decision is likely to be made at the president's daily security briefing, scheduled for 9am EST.   If Biden does decide on Tuesday that the August 31 withdrawal date is final, troops will spend just 'a few more days' evacuating Americans, as well as Afghans with special interest visas . They will then begin to draw down troops and fly them out of the Taliban controlled country, with a military source telling CNN those departures could begin by the end of this week.  Biden will address the nation at noon on Tuesday, after a meeting with G7 leaders which is likely to see him come under fire from other leader
