Police in Sao Paulo have launched a hunt for the purported leader of one of Brazil's biggest criminal organizations who went on the run after being freed from prison the previous day on a judge's order that was revoked a few hours later.

Sage experts say Test and Trace is having a 'marginal' impact on tackling the virus because the system neither tests nor traces enough people.  The £12 billion programme will 'further decline' unless it grows at the same rate as the epidemic, the scientific advisory group warned in documents released on Monday. Boris Johnson has promised the scheme would be 'world beating', while experts and politicians alike see it as a major way of reducing the severity of restrictions imposed during the crisis. 'The relatively low levels of engagement with the system... coupled with testing delays and likely poor rates of adherence with self-isolation suggests that this system is having a marginal impact on transmission at the moment,' they wrote. The criticism, voiced in a summary of a review of measures on September 21, will increase the pressure on Baroness Harding (pictured outside the Health Department last month), the Conservative peer in charge of Test and Trac

Written aboard HMS Victory, the letter on yellowing parchment offers a glimpse into the mind of one of our greatest national heroes. Admiral Horatio Nelson penned the missive to a slave-owning plantation owner in the West Indies just four months before he was fatally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.  Little did Nelson know the long shadow that letter would cast over his reputation. For more than 200 years, the words it contained have aligned him with those who supported the unspeakable trade in human beings, who made their fortunes out of it and who fiercely contested its abolition. Today, the Mail can reveal that the letter is a forgery.  A letter which appeared to show Lord Admiral Nelson's support for slavery has been revealed to be a forgery, created by anti-abolitionists in an attempt to keep the trade alive And the timing could not be more fortuitous, coming as the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich announces that it is to review the ‘heroic status’ of Nelson be
