A man's "distinct aroma" saw police stop and search a man in the centre of Rhyl. Officers were on foot patrol in the seaside town over the weekend.

On Sunday they stopped a man due to the smell coming from him. He was searched and suspected drugs were found on him.

Police say he will now have "questions to answer".

"The Neighbourhood policing team in conjunction with the Clear Hold Build team detained this male under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act and seized the below pictured items.

"The male will now have some questions to answer following this proactive stop by our officers."

Starmer’s worst blunder should disqualify him as prime minister
The single biggest thing that happened over the last Parliament was the Covid crisis. It had an immeasurable impact on our economy and society. And Labour’s record in that period, especially during 2021, was appalling. Indeed it was sufficiently bad that at the time many people said Starmer’s errors ruled him out of any possible future as Prime Minister.

Voters kick all the Republican women out of the South Carolina Senate
The only three Republican women in the South Carolina Senate took on their party and stopped a total abortion ban from passing in their state last year. Sandy Senn, Penry Gustafson and Katrina Shealy from office during sparsely turned out primaries in June, and by doing so completely vacated the Republican wing of the five-member “Sister Senators," a female contingent that included two Democrats and was joined in their opposition to the abortion ban. For Republicans, the departure of Senn, Gustafson and Shealy likely means there will be no women in the majority party of state Senate when the next session starts in 2025.

Supreme Court gives Trump some immunity in Jan. 6 case, but not for 'unofficial acts'
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said former President Donald Trump is entitled to some immunity from criminal prosecution for actions taken to overturn results of the 2020 election but sent the case back to the trial court to sort out which charges can stand, effectively delaying any potential trial until after the November election. The 6-3 opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts. Trump had claimed "absolute immunity" for all his actions, but Roberts noted that, "Trump asserts a far broader immunity than the limited one we have recognized."

Big wins for Trump and sharp blows to regulations mark momentous Supreme Court term
Donald Trump and the conservative interests that helped him reshape the Supreme Court got most of what they wanted this term, from substantial help for Trump's political and legal prospects to sharp blows against the administrative state they revile. The decisions reflected a deep and sometimes bitter divide on a court in which conservatives, including three justices appointed by Trump, have a two-to-one advantage over liberals, and seem likely to reinforce the views of most Americans that ideology, rather than a neutral application of the law, drives the outcome of the court's biggest cases. The justices also contended with ethics controversies that led to the adoption of the court's first code of conduct, though one with no means of enforcement.
