The original plan, it says, was for Israel to follow up with devastating attacks while Hezbollah was still reeling. The pager attack, the reports say, was to be the opening salvo in a big escalation - as part of an offensive or perhaps an invasion of southern Lebanon.

The sculpture, made up of hundreds of different coloured stones, appeared on Cambois beach in Northumberland on Monday.One visitor to the beach, Naomi Forrest from Bedlington, watched the artist and said he worked "very fast".

"It is a simple design and a simple thing to do but it's a wonderful creation," she said.Mrs Forrest said she was walking up the beach with two of her sons when they saw a man gathering stones."It wasn't that advanced when we first saw him, he was gathering the smaller ones, he just seemed very focused and in the zone, back and forth carrying the stones.

"I didn't recognise him but loads of people were stopping to watch what he was doing and I told him it was absolutely lovely."Hannah Smith, who was on the beach with her dog Cooper, described the sculpture as "absolutely amazing".

"Obviously someone has put a lot of effort in, it's lovely to think of someone doing that."

Marina Bullough says she walks on the beach "most days".“If you remove these plants and animals from GM regulations then you don’t have the same degree of risk assessment, you don’t have labelling and you risk markets because many of them regulate them as GMOs,” she says.

Dr Peter Stevenson, who is the chief policy advisor to UK-based Compassion in World Farming (CIWF), also fears that the technology will further add to the intensification of animal farming - with negative consequences.“The use of selective breeding over the past 50 years has brought a huge number of animal welfare problems,” he says.

“Chickens have been bred to grow so quickly that their legs and hearts can’t properly support the rapidly developing body and as a result millions of animals are suffering from painful leg disorders, while others succumb to heart disease.“Do we really want to accelerate this process with gene editing?”
