Cyanide warning in river

Thousands of fish have died after untreated sewage and cyanide spilled into the River Trent in Staffordshire.

The Environment Agency has issued a warning for people and animals to keep out of the river on a 30-mile stretch between Stoke on Trent and Yoxall, including Stone, Weston, Great Haywood and Rugeley, as a precaution, following the pollution incident that has rendered the river water a potential health risk.
