ICAN leader Fihn urges Japan to act as leader in movement to abolish nuclear weapons

Three goats have brought traffic to a standstill on the M5 in Gloucestershire.

The trio of troublemakers ran onto the carriageway from nearby fields around Monday lunchtime.

Drivers faced delays of around an hour as police attempted to catch the animals between junctions 12 and 13 near Stroud.

National Highways and Gloucestershire police closed the section of the M5 at 1.14pm, and it reopened at 2.13pm.

Drivers got out of their vehicles to catch sight of the goats as traffic police tried to usher the animals to safety.

A National Highways spokesman said on social media: “Our traffic officers are dealing with three goats, which have got onto the motorway.”

In an update, the agency said: “Two have now been secured. Officers are trying to contain the last.”
