2 million sounds a big number ! These figures are obviously issued to make things sound good ! But what were the pre covid figures ? Between double and triple I would guess. You don't have to guess - it's stated in the article "but only half the record-breaking pre-pandemic year of 2019"....

Thanks for that info, Steve. You seem to have access to far more information than I saw in print.But certainly from what I have read in newspapers, or seen otherwise in the media, the impression formed is where a traumatized young British girl was interviewed for 6 hours and pressured to sign a sta...

I'm surprised if the police who dealt with this British girl at the time didn't know that she should have been allowed to have a translator and a lawyer present, before pressuring her to sign a statement. It was the contention of the interviewing police officer and witness that she had been informe...

I hope that all the officers who were complicit in this are going to be punished in due course I would imagine it's the procedures that need changing i.e. video taped recordings, legal representation etc. and there should be a programne of re education for all station officers on how to treat femal...

Necessity is the mother of invention: Scientists invent method to recycle environmentally-damaging lithium-ion batteries used in electric cars that sees the cells crushed into ‘black dust’ before being separated into valuable component metals.

In relation to the term "contamination" - it was clarified later by Dr Tom Peacock - the Imperial College virologist from the post above: "this is not really related to 'quality of the lab' or anything similar - this literally happens to every sequencing lab occasionally! This is part...

Coronavirus: New variant discovered in Cyprus We are proud of our scientists, Health Minister Michalis Hadjipantelas said on Saturday after the discovery of a new variant by Cypriot scientists was announced.

However we should also take much of the news from Reuters with a pinch of sale, after all its the same Chairman on the boards of Rueters and Pfizer. A conflict of interests possibly. Not quite - and not new - he's the Chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation (London-based charitable arm of Thomso...

As in the UK, these deaths are not directly attributable to Covid. They simply report deaths of patients who contracted Covid up to one month before death. So if you died of lung cancer or a tumour or heart attack, but also contracted Covid before or after going into hospital, that is written up as...

Such a sad and difficult topic to grapple with and have many conflicting thoughts on this one. As a Catholic, taking your own life (or getting assistance) goes against the church. That said i've lost a relative recently where their quality of life had been reduced to such a point where you do consid...

I still don't see why UK citizens can't enjoy freedom of movement within Cyprus? Probably the Turks aren't that bothered since they are also outside the EU. The majority of UK citizens who voted, choose to restrict their freedoms in this regard. The whole island of Cyprus is in the EU. Britain gave...

They are entitled to do that to UK citizens residing in the north, but it strikes me as very petty. Does the ROC impose restrictions on any other non EU countries nationals like this? Thats assuming they are already legal residents of the North. I suppose when this happens the Turkish authorities m...

As far as I am aware it relates to those that have caught and recovered from Covid.

I agree totally with the comments regarding ending the pain and suffering for a loved one – But struggle to get my head around his wife of many years agreeing to be strangled – That seems an extremely harsh way to end the life of someone you have been with for so long – Why did he not give her the ...
