A family in the US has been reunited with their pet cat after she was accidentally mailed hundreds of miles to California with a package return.

Galeana disappeared from her home in Utah earlier this month - prompting widespread searches for the beloved missing moggie.

She was rescued by an Amazon worker nearly a week after jumping into one of the family's packages undetected.

The cat was in good health despite having had no food or water for days.

"Galeana loves boxes, it's just part of her personality," Carrie Clark, the cat's owner, told NBC's Utah affiliate KSL TV when explaining how her family's pet had come to end up so far from home.

The cat was eventually rescued from the large box, which also contained pairs of steel-toed work boots, by an Amazon worker who took her to the vet.

There, the cat's microchip was scanned and Ms Clark's contact details appeared. The vet then called to explain what had happened.

Ms Clark described it as the "most amazing, insane news in the entire world".

"I didn't believe her [the vet] at first and thought it was a prank," she added.

Ms Clark and her husband then flew more than 1,000 miles to California to retrieve their pet.

"It was an amazing reunion! Galena instantly stopped shaking and relaxed in my arms when I got to hold her again."

Luckily for the cat, one of the box's seams had been open so there was air to breathe and the weather conditions meant that she had not frozen or overheated.

The BBC has approached Amazon for comment.

I'm glad Galena is safe!

Presidential elections were held in Zimbabwe between 9 and 11 March 2002. The elections were contested by the incumbent president Robert Mugabe, Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai, ZANU–Ndonga leader Wilson Kumbula, Shakespeare Maya of the National Alliance for Good Governance and independent candidate Paul Siwela. Although Mugabe won with 56.2% of the vote, it was the closest presidential election to date.

The elections were not free and fair, as they occurred under the electoral manipulation of the ZANU-PF party and intimidation of the opposition.

This summer's meeting between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and former world champion Mike Tyson has been officially sanctioned as a professional fight.

It means the outcome of the bout, which is scheduled to take place in Texas on 20 July, will appear on both their records.

Tyson, whose professional career ended in 2005, most recently competed in an exhibition bout in 2020 and will turn 58 three weeks before facing Paul.

Paul, meanwhile, beat Ryan Bourland in his 10th professional fight in March.

"Mike Tyson and Jake Paul signed on to fight each other with the desire to do so in a sanctioned professional fight that would have a definitive outcome," Nakisa Bidarian of MVP Promotions said.

Tyson was the first heavyweight boxer to simultaneously hold the WBA, WBC and IBF titles in 1987 but his reign as unified champion came to a shock end in 1990 as he was beaten by Buster Douglas in one of the biggest upsets in boxing history.

Although he briefly regained the WBA and WBC titles in 1996, he then suffered back-to-back defeats to Evander Holyfield - the second ending as Tyson was disqualified for biting part of Holyfield's ear off.

Tyson's legal issues have included a rape conviction in 1992, for which he served three years of a six-year prison sentence, and in 1999 he served a third of a 12-month sentence for a road rage assault.

He got back into shape to play his part in an engaging draw with fellow former world champion Roy Jones Jr in 2020, and his fight with Paul will take place in Arlington's AT&T Stadium, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, which has a seating capacity of 80,000.

Paul has won nine of his 10 fights, mostly against ex-UFC fighters, with his solitary defeat coming against British heavyweight boxer Tommy Fury in February 2023.

Two key bodies which represent US athletes have written to the country’s drug tsar calling for a “truly independent investigation” after it emerged 23 Chinese swimmers were cleared to compete at the Tokyo Games, despite testing positive for a banned substance.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) said it was "not in a position to disprove" an assertion from the China Anti-Doping Agency (Chinada) that they had unintentionally ingested heart medication trimetazidine (TMZ).

It began an independent review into its handling of the case after an outcry.

Findings of the investigation, led by Swiss prosecutor Eric Cottier, are expected to be delivered within two months.

The US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) criticised Wada’s appointment of Cottier, calling it a "circle the wagons exercise to protect the system"

And now the Team USA Athletes’ Commission and USA Swimming Athletes’ Advisory Council have jointly written to Dr Rahul Gupta, the director of the US Office of National Drug Control Policy - and the US representative to the Wada Executive Committee - saying they are “extremely concerned” about the case.

The Class of '92 are still fully invested in driving Salford City forward, according to chief executive Nicky Butt.

It is 10 years since Butt, his fellow ex-Manchester United team-mates and Singapore businessman Peter Lim got involved with the club.

But Butt is insistent that they all are passionate about achieving more with the League Two outfit.

"Go and look at the budget and the accounts that go on file and go and see them," he said.

"If we weren’t invested we wouldn’t be putting this much money in, which we have done for 10 years with Peter Lim who is an amazing partner."

Salford have had a meteoric rise since Butt, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes joined forces in 2014 to work alongside Lim.

From the eighth tier and the Northern Premier League Division One North, the club achieved four promotions in five seasons to reach the EFL in 2019.

They have spent five years in League Two, with seventh place and a play-off semi-final defeat by Stockport County 12 months ago their best finish.

But they slipped to a disappointing 20th this campaign, with manager Neil Wood replaced mid-season by Karl Robinson.

Now in an extensive interview with BBC Radio Manchester, Butt reflected on that and how he and the Class of '92 are still as invested in the project as when they walked through the doors a decade ago.

Former Swansea, Tottenham Hotspur and Wales winger Terry Medwin has died aged 91.

The Swansea-born forward played 30 times for Wales and scored the winning goal in the 2-1 win against Hungary in the 1958 World Cup in Sweden.

He was also part of the Spurs squad that won the league and cup double in 1961 and the FA Cup again two years later.

His career was ended by a broken leg suffered while playing for Spurs in 1963.

Medwin's goal against Hungary at the Rasunda Stadium in Solna ranks among the most important scored by a Wales player.

It gave Wales a 2-1 win and earned them a place in the quarter finals against Brazil.

A goal by 17-year-old Pele knocked Wales out of the tournament but it remains their best performance at the World Cup.

"It was a long time ago, but you never forget it," said Medwin in 2014.

"It was a great experience playing for Wales when I first got my cap but even better when we qualified for the World Cup.

"We won a play-off against Hungary and that's where Big John [Charles] got injured.

"Had he been fit enough to play against Brazil, I'm not saying we would have won, but he was such a great player.

"Sadly, he had a few tears and he couldn't play, and then Pele got his first goal for Brazil in the World Cup."

Medwin made his debut for what was then Swansea Town in 1949, and was a key player for the club until his departure for Tottenham for £25,000 in 1956.

He was joined at White Hart Lane two years later by his former Swansea and Wales team-mate Cliff Jones.

In 1961 Tottenham became the first club to win a league and cup double in the 20th century, though Medwin had to battle for a starting place with Terry Dyson.

However, Medwin re-established his status the following season and played in the 3-1 victory over Burnley in the 1962 FA Cup final.

It was to be his last silverware as a player, as a broken leg suffered during a tour of South Africa the following year effectively ended his career.

Spurs said the club was "deeply saddened" by his death.

After retiring as a player he coached at Fulham and was assistant manager to John Toshack at Swansea during the club's climb from the Fourth Division to the First Division of the Football League in the late 1970s and early '80s.

Medwin was a guest of honour at the announcement of Wales’ squad that was selected to go to the 2022 World Cup.

An emotional support alligator was taken by pranksters and then dumped in a swamp, his owner says.

Known as WallyGator, external, this surprisingly cuddly creature has been helping Joie Henney relieve his depression for almost ten years.

Mr Henney’s beloved knobbly reptile was taken whilst on holiday in the US state of Georgia, he says, by someone looking to play a prank.

In the aftermath Wally was collected by local animal control and released into a swamp at a “remote location”, Mr Henny said.

In a Facebook post, Mr Henney said that his cold-blooded pal was taken by someone who then dropped him into another person’s yard, probably to scare them.

When he was discovered, alarmed residents contacted Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources who sent a trapper, who caught and released Wally into a swamp with 20 other alligators, Mr Henney said.

Mr Henney, from Pennsylvania, said the trapper rated his chances of finding Wally were “slim to none” but is planning to search the swamp for his companion regardless.

“We just pray with other alligators present that Wally is OK” he said on social media.

WallyGator and Joie Henney first made headlines when the pair were denied entrance to watch the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Major League Baseball in September 2023.

Mr Henney believes Wally has helped him out of a deep emotional depression over the years.

"I've never met an alligator that will not bite you," Henney told CBS Evening News in 2022, external. "You fool around the head like this (Joe puts his hand in Wally's mouth), their instinct is to grab you [with their teeth] - but he does not do it.

"You can reach in and rub his tongue, he refuses to close his mouth, but we don't know why," added Henney.

Wally, who is about nine years old and 6ft (182cm) in length has an estimated bite of 3000 pounds per square inch.

Hope they find Wally.
