rangers and australia have discovered what is believed to be the world s biggest toad. it is a cane toad, it was found in queensland and weighed £6 back. the poisonous amphibians were reduced to australia in 1935 and are linked to the decline of native species. the toad we are told was put down and will be donated to a museum. i didn t look at that at all. hello, ben, it is where the time. she was looking away, i can assure you of that. you may not want to look away from this, we have got some beautiful scenes and this is from a weather watcher in wales. there is snow on the ground in parts of scotland, northern england, northern ireland and into wales. there are areas of cloud around as well and they are on the north sea coast, most falling as rain, but some sleet and snow on high ground. this cloud brings a bit of patchy rain into the far west of cornwall, but elsewhere sunny skies overhead. it is a chilly day, three to 8 degrees, but in the sunshine it will not feel too b

indicating human intelligence sources, this was found in a box or some sort of crate and container. hammering home the extreme sensitivities that trump took from the white house. the justice department laying out a series of objections to trump s request among them that he lacks standing to even participate in the case because the materials seized by the fbi do not belong to him, they belong to the united states government. the department also describes an effort to obstruct the fbi s investigation. it claims documents were, quote, likely concealed and removed from a storage room at mar-a-lago before trump s own lawyers searched it for classified material. the filing also takes aim at team trump s assertion that it cooperated fully with the probe and in one account it says investigators visiting mar-a-lago in june were prohibited by trump lawyers from looking inside boxes to confirm no classified documents remained. in fact later fbi search proved that there was still classif
