That number will soon rise when the government introduces a ban on the American bully XL breed after a spate of recent attacks. Courts can allow illegal dogs to stay with their owners as long as the pets don't pose a danger to the public and they're kept under strict rules. Tom and Casey in Middlesbrough are training their XL puppy Zuma in the hope that he'll be assessed as safe. "I trust him with my life," says Tom. "He's a wonderful dog. He's amazing with my children." But police estimate there are thousands of the breed, many of which don't have such responsible owners - so how will the authorities cope when the ban comes in? | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The move comes after more than a dozen recent drone attacks on US troops in the region, which American officials attribute to Iran. Meanwhile, back in Gaza there's little progress in getting aid in after three weeks of war. "Insane bureaucracy" at the border is said to be slowing the supplies. | | | | | | | | | |
