A two-year-old girl's arm was severed under her elbow after she tried to reach for the collar of a wolf-dog hybrid at her grandmother's sanctuary in Michigan.   Brenda Pearson founded the Howling Timbers animal sanctuary in West Bloomfield, Michigan, where Sophia Scraver lost a portion of her arm during the July incident.  Initial reports indicated that the animal had attacked the little girl but Pearson explained to DailyMail.com that she doesn't think the animal attacked Sophia.  'I don't believe there was an attack because there were no bites wounds at all from the elbow to the tip of the fingers,' Pearson said.   Pearson, who picked up the limb from inside the animal's enclosure, said when she looked at the girl's arm there were no wounds that appeared to be bite marks.   Two-year-old Sophia Scraver lost her arm while reaching for the collar of a wolf-dog hybrid at her grandmother's sanctuary in Michigan Brenda Pearson founded the Howling Timber

In the Commons this afternoon Mr Johnson introduced the much-trailed Local Covid Alert Levels that will shut down pubs and bars and block people from visiting each other. Boris Johnson today divided the the country into 'medium', 'high' or 'very high' coronavirus alert sectors amid a tightening of lockdown rules that could last until Christmas. In the Commons this afternoon he introduced the much-trailed Local Covid Alert Levels that will shut down pubs and bars and block people from visiting each other in the most badly affected areas. The three-tier system comes after a 9.3 percent increase in coronavirus cases on the previous week, with parts of northern England having the worst rates of infection. Liverpool was immediately put in Tier 3 - the highest level -  with Manchester and Newcastle among areas put into Tier 2.  Mr Johnson told the Commons he does not believe a full lockdown would be the right course. He said: 'And of course, there are those who sa

A Stanford University professor raced to his sleeping colleague's home at 2am and woke him up to let him know they had just won the Nobel Peace Prize in economics. Paul R. Milgrom, 72, and Robert B. Wilson, 83, were awarded the prestigious prize on Monday as the winners were announced in Stockholm by Goran Hansson, secretary-general of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.   'Their discoveries 'have benefitted sellers, buyers and taxpayers around the world,' the Nobel Committee said.  Their auction formats have been used to sell radio frequencies, fishing quotas and airport landing slots.  But Milgrom almost missed the incredible moment because he was fast sleep inside his home in Stanford, California. Luckily, Wilson - who lives across the road - was on his way.  American economists Paul R. Milgrom, 72, and Robert B. Wilson, 83, were the Nobel Prize in economics for 'improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats.' Doorbell camera f

The actual cost of a farcical green energy scheme exposed by the Mail could be a staggering £5billion, an official report reveals today. The botched initiative was paying wind turbine owners seven times the value of the electricity they generate. Now a watchdog says the eye-watering cost to UK households is even worse than thought. In the week that Boris Johnson, in his speech to the Tory conference, trumpeted wind power as the future for the nation’s energy generation, the Mail’s investigation found that it was effectively a licence to print money. The scheme was set up to encourage homeowners to install a small turbine to supply their needs and feed into the electricity grid. Boris Johnson has promoted wind power as the future of British energy, but an investigation by the Mail has discovered an incentive scheme for owners was effectively a licence to print money But blundering officials set the subsidy rate so high it guarantees owners bonanza pots of cash for 20 years – all paid fo

Gladys Berejiklian sparred with journalists on Tuesday morning after her secret relationship with a disgraced former MP who is facing a corruption investigation was revealed.  The New South Wales premier, who is unmarried and has no children, admitted she 'stuffed up' by secretly having a relationship with former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire from 2015 to August 2020 - but said she will not step down. 'Whilst I have made this mistake in my personal life, I intend to serve the people of New South Wales to the best of my ability. That's what I've always done. I've sacrificed my life to public office, and I'm proud of that,' she said.  Ms Berejiklian, 50, said she was 'far from perfect' but insisted she has 'done nothing wrong' and has not been compromised by her relationship with 61-year-old father-of-two Mr Maguire, who recently divorced ex-wife Maureen. An emotional Gladys Berejiklian (pictured on Monday) has refused to resign after her
