This quintuple of fluffy kittens were found by a member of the public with their mum and they were brought to the safety with the team at the RSPCA. Volunteers have since landed them the perfect foster home, where they can burn off their energy as they run around the house. Kenickie, who is black and white with a moustache, is always on the lookout for the next toy to play with, whereas black and white Danny is more relaxed watching the world go by. Trio is smart and inquisitive, while black and white Rizzo is feisty and loves to wrestle. Last but not least, white and ginger Sandy loves a nap. The kittens would love to be adopted in pairs. As they are still young, their new family would need to be around a lot to keep them entertained and teach them about the great outdoors when they are a little older. (Photo: RSPCA)
The charity homes the animals, some of which arrived as they could no longer be cared for by their previous owner, at a centre in East Ardsley. Regardless of how they end up there, the animals are cared for until a new home can be found. The RSPCA also offers advice to people who already own pets but may be struggling to cope with the cost of food or healthcare.
Here are all the cats and dogs currently being cared for at the centre that have not yet been matched up with the right owners. More information can be found on the RSPCA website.
Four-year-old Taz is a GSD x Akita who came to the centre last year after a family could no longer adopt her. She went through lots of training and was adopted again but this did not work out for her. Now, she is ready to find her forever family. She would love to be walked in quiet areas and would suit a family that is happy to help her continue her training around other. (Photo: RSPCA)
Four-month-old Dotty has been lucky enough to stay at a foster home and loves nothing more than being around people. She is good natured kitten who has plenty of playful moments. Dotty would suit a family who is happy to introduce her to the great outdoors when she's old enough. (Photo: RSPCA)
Tom, 10, is an affectionate cat who loves treats and bird-watching. Being on the heavier side, he is looking for a new family that would help him on his weight loss journey. (Photo: RSPCA)
This is mother and daughter duo Audrey and Fran. The cheeky Chihuahuas, aged nine and five, do everything together - eating, napping and playing. Mum Audrey is shyer than Fran and can take longer to trust new people, but once she's comfortable, she loves a cuddle. Fran always checks out new visitors, giving them the sniff of approval. The pair would suit a family experienced with Chihuahuas, and a calm, quiet and patient home with older children would be ideal. (Photo: RSPCA)
Fluffy, 13, has been described as a "sweet and gentle lady" who loves being around people. She would suit a quiet and calm home where she can relax and spend her time lounging around. Her new family would need to help her with her daily grooming regime. (Photo: RSPCA)
Zeus, a Staffie X, is a three-year-old bundle of energy and is looking for a family willing to offer unconditional love and keep up with his training. He can be unsure of other dogs so would suit a family that could help him feel comfortable when out on walks. Despite getting over excited at times, he loves a cuddle. (Photo: RSPCA)
Five-year-old Jinx is a sweet natured young kitten who is easygoing with everyone. He loves bird watching and plenty of fuss, as well as his food. Jinx would happily live with another cat as he enjoys playing games. (Photo: RSPCA)
Two years ago, after yet another couple of nights of rioting in the banlieues, twenty retired French generals wrote an open letter to Emmanuel Macron, then about to run for a second term, warning that the divisions between communities and increasing “violence and nihilism” in France would eventually cause a social breakdown, with a risk of “chaos” leading to a “civil war” that would then “require” a military “intervention… in a dangerous mission to protect our civilisational values and safeguard
A father’s last moments protecting his son before he was murdered in the street by a gang armed with machetes and zombie knives has been caught on CCTV.

For much of this year and before 7 October, naval gazers had about four areas to look at. First, the ongoing fight in the Black Sea with the Russian blockade weaponizing hunger despite regular Ukrainian successes there. The Russians were also keeping navies busy in the high north and the North Atlantic.
How’s Brexit working out? There have been some marginal positives, but in terms of the economy, it’s been mainly downside, and on the issues that really matter to voters – particularly immigration and a better functioning health service with more money behind it – Brexit has so far manifestly failed to deliver.
As Eurocrats-in-chief go, Ursula von der Leyen has generally been relatively inoffensive to British sensibilities. Most of us were dimly aware that she was one of those people who excel at “failing upwards”, with her emergence as President of the European Commission following a chequered spell as Germany’s defence minister.

Even as some Tories are getting real about the issue, Labour is doubling down. It could try just being honest with the public, says Guardian columnist Gaby Hinsliff
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are an “impatient” couple who “ran hot” while negotiating their exit from the Royal family, biographer Omid Scobie has said as he attempts to distance himself from the label of “Meg’s pal”.
