Armed police officers have dispersed large crowds of anti-lockdown protesters at Trafalgar Square following a march through central London on Saturday, which saw thousands gather against coronavirus restrictions. Demonstrators called for an end to the 'tyranny' of pandemic restrictions and voiced their opposition to vaccines and paedophilia, playing Michael Jackson's greatest hits via a PA system as they marched. At least 10 people were led away in handcuffs by officers at Trafalgar Square, and Piers Corbyn, brother of former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, also attended the protest who once again joined demonstrators after appearing at court charged with flouting coronavirus rules.   Protesters refused to wear masks and wielded signs demanding an end to restrictions on personal freedom imposed as part of efforts to control Covid-19.  One banner being wielded by a protester on Oxford Street read: 'Martial law coming, think it's still about health?' while anot

Around 200 murder hornets will be 'extracted alive and killed' Saturday after experts discovered the first nest in the US in Washington state by attaching radio trackers to the bugs.   Washington State Department of Agriculture  entomologists discovered the Asian giant hornet nest on private property in Blaine, Whatcom County, close to the US-Canada border Thursday.

Virginia juries have been allowed to decide punishments for criminals for more than 200 years, but a new state bill could put that sentencing power in the hands of judges going forward.  Defense attorneys call it 'the jury penalty' - a centuries-old sentencing system in Virginia that calls for juries to decide punishment for criminal defendants, which often leads to stiffer sentences than what judges give or prosecutors offer in plea deals. This sentencing structure has been in place for 224 years, but under a bill recently approved by the state legislature, Virginia is expected to turn sentencing over to judges, joining the vast majority of states around the country.  Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, a strong supporter of criminal justice reform, is expected to sign the bill into law. Virginia State Sen. Joe Morrissey (in March) sponsored legislation that will turn over sentencing of criminal defendants to judges instead of juries, beginning July 2021 Virginia State Sen. Mark Ob
