President trump has signed a revised travel ban against six mainly muslim countries, with some of the contentious aspects of the old order removed. A retired Police Officer in the philippines has admitted to killing nearly 200 people as part of a death squad under president duterte. A zoo in cumbria, where nearly 500 animals died within four years, has been ordered to close. The owner of south Lakes Safari Zoo where a tiger keeper was mauled to death in 2013 was refused a new licence to operate by the local authority. He now has four weeks to appeal against the decision, as our correspondent danny savage reports. South lake safari zoo. Conditions for some of the animals here have been so bad its now been ordered to close. The problem is animal welfare. An inspection in january found poor accommodation, uncontrolled breeding, and exotic animals living in unheated, rat infested conditions. Weve had reports from the public over many years that weve obviously chased up with the council with animals having head injuries, from feeding experiences where people have been absolutely disgusted at the state of them. Its just been an ongoing issue with animal welfare, really, and neglect for even the most basic needs. The zoo has been dogged with trouble for years. A keeper, 24 year old sarah mcclay, was killed by a tiger in 2013. Her brother believes it should have closed then. All the reports over the past week have said 500 animals died in the past four years. Its four years ago that sarah died. So if youd closed the zoo down after an employee had died them all this mistreatment of animals wouldnt have come out. I think it should have been closed down four years ago. It wasnt and now look whats happened to all those animals. The man refused a licence to run the zoo today is david gill, described by inspectors as being desperate to keep control here one way or another. And it was david gills attitude towards the number of Animal Deaths which concerned inspectors. They say he didnt seem to have a problem with it, and a keeper told the Inspection Team that their instructions were to dispose of bodies and not tell anyone about them. David gill says he no longer wants to operate the zoo but without his license the new company now running it cant function. So the site is now facing closure and the animals may need new homes.
