The trial of Chester nurse Lucy Letby is beginning at Manchester Crown Court. She is charged with murdering 7 babies, and attempting to murder another 10 at the Countess of Chester Hospital between June 2015-June 2016. She denies all the charges. Coverage on #BBCNews 
I will report lines from the court once the case opens. A reminder to followers not to comment/offer opinion about the trial, in order to prevent legal prejudice.
The jury has just been sworn. The judge, Mr Justice Goss tells them "Offences of this nature are bound to provoke an instinctive reaction of horror. We all have emotions. You must put your emotions to one side and judge the evidence calmly, rationally, fairly and dispassionately"

1/ Putin's claim that Ukraine is run by 'Nazis' is absurd - Zelensky's government is patently liberal/democratic;
It's also deeply hypocritical, given Putin/United Russia's increasing ultranationalist bent, and Aleksandr Dugin's influence...

2/...But it would be good to see a proper analysis of the armed far-right in both countries;
Some minor reports note the paramilitary Azov Battalion & Right Sector in Ukraine, but almost none detail core far-right elements both of Donbas separatists & the Russian army #Newsnight

3/ I can't believe that no mainstream outlets have recently analysed Putin's ideological debt to Dugin, given the eerie alignment between the former's wild war rhetoric on Ukrainian 'illegitimacy' and the views of the latter.

.@KatieSchmuecker: "For those in work, the change to the taper rate and work allowance, alongside the National Living Wage increase, are very positive steps, allowing low-paid workers to keep more of what they earn."
.@KatieSchmuecker: "But the reality is that millions of people who are unable to work or looking for work will not benefit from these changes. The Chancellor’s decision to ignore them today as the cost of living rises risks deepening poverty among this group."

You are not going to believe this one (or maybe you will), but bear with me. I had to triple check my figures on this just to reassure myself it was true.
And what’s more, this is likely to be happening every single day.

Last night the esteemed @BBCHughPym, BBC health editor since March 2014, ran a seemingly alarming story about the Covid-19 situation in the North East, as you can see below.
With interviews from a respiratory consultant, medical director, elected city mayor, and local resident.

It featured as a segment on the 6 o’clock news, 10 o’clock news, @BBCNEandCumbria, as well as being one of the top stories online (see screenshot).
I have no way of calculating the audience reach but we can safely assume it was into the millions, nationwide and regionally.

#BBCnews said that Jeremy Bowen was reporting from #Sderot. We saw Gaza. Bowen spoke about the bombardment of Gaza and showed some rubble. He hasn't mention Sderot.
'That was Jeremy Bowen - from Jerusalem,' said the news anchor.
Bowen said that Israel shows off about Iron Dome and that more die in Gaza than in Israel. Hamas hasn't worked on any defensive infrastructure, such as shelters, except for their tunnels for Hamas operatives.
The US Treasury has revealed that one of the 7 Russian officials targeted with sanctions is the head of the FSB security service, Alexander Bortnikov. It said the FSB was behind the attempt to murder the opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, with a nerve agent. (cont.) #bbcnews
US also tightening export controls on 14 firms involved in the production of biological and chemical agents. Also blacklisted are the federal prisons administrator, the head of the Kremlin's domestic policy directorate, and 2 dep defence ministers. Moscow has denounced the move
Washington's move was matched by the EU, which imposed travel bans and asset freezes on 4 top officials. With the FSB boss already targeted last October, Brussels today sanctioned the head of Russia's penal system, the prosecutor general and the commander of the national guard.
A Russian court has fined Yuliya Navalnaya, jailed opp politician Alexei @Navalny's wife, 260 dollars for taking part in nationwide protests on Sunday. She was among those detained near the Moscow prison where her husband is being held. #bbcnews (cont.)
Navalny's due in court on Tuesday, when prosecutors will ask the judge to activate a 3.5 year suspended sentence he was given for embezzlement in 2014. Mr Navalny's supporters have called for more protests outside the court. #bbcnews (cont)
The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, dismissed the demonstrators as hooligans and provocateurs. The European Court of Human Rights said four years ago that Russian courts had made arbitrary and manifestly unreasonable decisions in Mr Navalny's embezzlement case. #bbcnews
Thread: Protests in Russia in support of jailed opposition politician Alexey Navalny are on today. This is Ulan Ude:
Acc to a @bbcrussian reporter, slightly less people are out to protest today in Kurgan.
In Yekaterinburg more people came to join the #navalnyprotests today than last week, acc to this tweet:

Testing and trace is a vital component of infectious disease control
Against the advice of public health experts, the government outsourced both elements of the process to favourable private companies, with no expertise
Resulting in a dog’s breakfast of incompetence

Watching #bbcnews from Northern Ireland about export health certificates being needed for every product every time. Massive impact on N Ireland consumers but also on the Scottish port of Stranraer.
Retailer says will have to replace Scottish Welsh and English cheeses with Spanish and French. #stilton
60 lorry loads of food leave Edinburgh supermarket distribution centre weekly at the moment but now every item will require health certificates, possibly more than one per product. 1400-1500 certificates per lorry load!
Towards the end of last week, over 15,000 UK coronavirus cases were not entered into the official figures, and none of their contacts were traced. It's time for those in charge of test, track & trace to be held accountable. It's just a complete shambles.

I'm afraid to say, but the government has now lost control of the virus and where it is in the community. Contact tracing is broken and we are getting dangerously close to another situation like March where Covid begins to rip through communities. #r4today
For my own city of York, data on Friday was showing 66 weekly cases per 100,000. Now after a weekend of adjustment, analysing the data in detail shows the true number was actually 125 cases per 100,000. We should actually have had enhanced lockdown measures for the weekend.

In 2005, I set up a business selling CDs, namely mixtape CDs after graduating from Uni.
In 2006, my home was raided & my business was stopped. They said the CDs I was selling were in breach of copyright.

It was a complete shock as the exact same CDs I was selling were prevalent on most high streets and supermarkets. They were selling in their thousands in places such as #Tesco & #HMV. And #Woolworths were the actual UK Distributor of these CDs.

The short outline version is as below in this thread. It's still quite long because it started in 2006 & the UK Authorities, mainly the #MetPolice, have invested a lot of time & resources in trying to get rid of this problem by hook or by crook

It started with the #MetPolice being caught out falsifying paperwork - a search warrant. When caught out they tried to frame me for a crime I did not commit. #bbcnews #royalfamily #Metpoliceuk
