UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has once again become the butt of ridicule and this one is "off the leash". A video posted by a TikTok user shows the British PM walking his dog without a leash in London's Hyde park. This happened in spite of a notice board specifying, "dogs must be kept on leads." Reportedly, Sunak and his family had to be "reminded" of the rules by the police, following which the dog named 'Nova' was put back on the lead.&nbsp;

The video opens with the notice board, which says: "Dogs must be kept on leads. Do not allow them to enter the lake or disturb the wildlife."

"It is an offence under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 to disturb&nbsp;wildlife," it added.

The video&nbsp;shows the Sunak family dog roaming around in the park without a lead. It then shows Rishi Sunak putting Nova on the lead, while the text on the screen says: "Lol, as if Rishi Sunak put his dog on the lead when he saw me filming the sign saying dogs must be on a lead."

Dog row: Rishi Sunak's 'off leash' escapade gets him a reminder from police. Watch video here

London's newest tourist attraction Marble Arch Mound is closing only six months after its opening.

The temporary, 25-metre-high artificial hill worth $8.15 million, is a viewing platform on the summit and an events space inside.

Its turf-covered scaffolding claimed to offer panoramic views of Hyde Park, Oxford Street, and the surrounding area.

Located beside one of the city’s busiest intersections, the mound had been designed by Dutch architecture firm MVRDV.

While hill’s website describes it as “a new and meaningful experience that captures the imagination of residents, businesses and visitors,” tourists likened it to a molehill and said it resembled a construction site or a slag heap that bears little resemblance to the lush images on the website.&nbsp;

Although it was envisaged as a draw for tourists who have typically stayed away from central London during the pandemic but shortly after opening, the local Westminster Council admitted it is "not yet ready for visitors".

It said anyone who has booked to visit this week would be offered a refund and a free ticket for another visit “once it has had time to bed in and grow.”

“The mound is a living building by design,” the council said in a statement.&nbsp;

“We’ll continue to adapt and improve London’s newest outdoor attraction and resolve any teething problems as they emerge.”

A small group of protestors gathered in London's Hyde Park to protest against the government's way of handling the coronavirus pandemic.

The protestors were seen deliberately breaking all rules of social distancing. The group of people do not agree with the rules and guidelines that the UK government has set for people, to contain the wide spread of coronavirus.

"It was disappointing that a relatively small group in Hyde Park came together to protest the regulations in clear breach of the guidance, putting themselves and others at risk of infection," Laurence Taylor, Deputy Assistant Commissioner at the Metropolitan Police, said in a statement.

"Officers once again, took a measured approach and tried to engage the group to disperse. They clearly had no intention of doing so, and so it did result in 19 people being arrested, and a further ten being issued with a fixed penalty notice."

The anti-lockdown protests took place few days after UK's Prime Minister eased some restrictions about lockdown in the UK. He stated that people could go out to parks and to socialize, but social distancing guidelines had to be followed.

UK has nearly 240,000 confirmed positive coronavirus cases, including 34,466 deaths.
