Quotes

Detective Superintendent Andy Southcott said: "This was a brutal attack and I know the community have been shocked to hear about it. While I do not want to create unnecessary panic I have a duty to make people aware of this, and to do all I can to find the person responsible."
Chester ZooZoo keeper Ruth Smith said: "There have only ever been a handful of successful breeding efforts documented, anywhere in the world, so we?re absolutely ecstatic with our new arrival - it?s breaking new ground for us. ?Breeding these rare turtles here allows us to study and learn about their reproductive ecology and what makes these beautiful, yet complex, animals tick. And it?s that kind of information which can be invaluable for conservation action in the wild. ?The intensive care and delicate work we?ve put into getting this turtle to hatch and all the information, skills and things that we?ve learnt in doing so are vital tools we can now apply in the field. We?ll now share this expertise and really maximise our chances of being able to better protect and help the recovery of not only this, but other similar species, in the wild.? The youngsters? parents were rescued and given to Chester Zoo after an illegal haul was confiscated by wildlife authorities in Hong Kong in late 2000."
Mr Tougher recalled: "He (Rowlands) said he'd had a fight and hit him, whoever it was, and what he'd done is what killed him because Glen had only punched him once."
Mr Cameron's comments were hailed by pro-EU Tories, but prominent Conservative eurosceptic Bernard Jenkin said the PM was "wrong to suggest that the UK must stay in the EU" , while UK Independence PartyParty leader Nigel Farage told him to "take his Brussels blinkers off"
