Residents say they are "living in fear" following a spate of seagull attacks that have left a number of people hospitalised in a village.
Local Gareth Parry said the birds have been causing "havoc" over the past few months - with the problem now described as the "worse than it has ever been". Several residents in Llanfairpwll in Anglesey, Wales, have required medical treatment and tetanus shots in recent months due to the attacks.
Mr Parry said one woman was "quite badly hurt" after falling on her arm while being mobbed by a group of gulls a few weeks ago. North Wales Live have reported that the 70-year-old "thinks twice" now before leaving the house in case he is swarmed upon.
Mr Parry said that Anglesey Council needs to do more to address the issue in the village. He said seagulls can be aggressive around their chicks and, as the population in the area grows, more problems occur, as has been witnessed this summer. According to the pensioner, some local primary school pupils have been too afraid to attend school as seagulls have been descending on people after nesting on a nearby building.

"Once the seagulls have their chicks, they become extra aggressive to the point where you think twice about leaving the house. They nest near the houses, on the streets, and across the village centre, and if you get anywhere near one of them, you'll get attacked by three or four of them.
"Some people I know have had to go to hospital for tetanus shots and there was one woman recently who injured her arm quite badly after falling while being attacked. I was talking to people on my street the other day and they said they

Melissa Gorga is not saying goodbye to Bravo any time soon!
Real Housewives of New Jersey, is main castmate Melissa Gorga bowing out? There’s certainly talk that she might be, and it largely started when Gorga and her husband Joe decided to skip his sister Teresa Giudice’s wedding to Luis Ruelas on August 6. Their absence was reportedly due to a major row with the bride just beforehand, as Giudice was supposedly spreading rumors about her sister-in-law cheating with a family friend during filming of their show’s Season 13 finale. Melissa broke her silence about the situation on her podcast, but it only seemed to increase speculation about her quitting the series.
STYLEMusic is woven into the very fabric of the building. Metal ropes run from floor to ceiling in the lobby atrium mimicking guitar strings, soundwave patterns are built into the marble flooring and even the push buttons in the lifts look like tiny cymbals. But the big attraction for music fans is the wealth of memorabilia on display.

“Weinstein Effect” is still lingering Monday, five years after mainstream reports of Harvey Weinstein’s dark sexual reign of terror first came to light.Author Ken Auletta’a bombshell new book, “Hollywood Ending: Harvey Weinstein and the Culture of Silence,” dives deep into the ugly truth of the disgraced film producer’s downfall. “[He] had some notion in his head that his body was attractive,” the author, 80, told Fox News, despite witness testimony that he smelled of feces, had genitals scarred to the point they “looked like a vagina” and a back full of “uncomfortable” blackheads.Still, “he really thought he was God’s gift, a Don Juan,” added Auletta, who spoke to multiple former Miramax film studio employees, Weinstein accusers and even his business partner brother, Bob Weinstein, for the exposé.In one chapter, the famed media critic for New Yorker magazine recounts how Jessica Mann — an ex-actress who claimed Weinstein, 70, raped her — testified on the stand that he smelled like “poop” and his private parts looked “deformed.”“I remember the district attorney passed around pictures [at his 2020 trial] … and the jurors barely looked at them.
