Joe Biden has told aides he does not want investigations of Donald Trump to overshadow his presidency and get in way of bid to 'unite the country'

Joe Biden has told aides he does not want his presidency consumed with investigations of Donald Trump, saying he wants to move on and focus on uniting the country.  The president-elect has made clear he believes voters gave him a mandate and he intends to follow it.  'They want us to cooperate. They want us to deliver results,' he said during a speech in Wilmington, Delaware, on Monday. And that means no lengthy investigations of his predecessor in the Oval Office, NBC News reported, a decision that will likely infuriate Congressional Democrats, who have a series of investigations into Trump in the works. One adviser told NBC News Biden has made it clear that he 'just wants to move on.' Another Biden adviser said: 'He's going to be more oriented toward fixing the problems and moving forward than prosecuting them.' The president-elect has said his priorities are dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, reviving the economy, repairing race relations and combatin

Save the sausage dog: Miniature dachshund named Gus who requires urgent cancer treatment was stopped at the Queensland border - before a pet ambulance stepped in

An adorable sausage dog named Gus who requires an urgent medical cancer treatment was turned away at the Queensland border because of COVID-19 restrictions.  The 12-year-old miniature dachshund needed surgery for an oral melanoma which doctors feared could spread to his chest and lungs. His loving owner Amelia Fidler, who lives with Gus in Tasmania, was told she could book in for Gus' operation in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane.  She told Daily Mail Australia that it made sense to make the trip up to Queensland because her mother-in-law lived there.  Ms Fidler and her partner decided to take the ferry to Victoria on the Spirit of Tasmania and then drove 10 hours to Sydney where they stayed overnight, before driving another 10 hours to Queensland, where they were stopped short at the border.   The 12-year-old miniature dachshund needed surgery for an oral melanoma which doctors feared could spread to his chest and lungs  His loving owner Amelia Fidler, who lives with Gus in Tasmania,

'Minuscule' benefit from fuel duty rise: Rishi Sunak's planned tax hike will have 'tiny' effect on nation's finances... but it could lead to thousands of job losses, experts warn

A rise in fuel duty will only be of 'miniscule' benefit to the nation's finances and could lead to thousands of job losses, experts warn. Chancellor Rishi Sunak is considering ending a ten-year freeze on the levy in next year's budget. It has been claimed 2p could be added to a duty that has stood at 57.95p a litre for petrol and diesel since 2011. Treasury officials believe the change is necessary to pay for the black hole in the nation's finances left by Covid. But economists fear the increase will damage the economy, hit poor motorists the hardest and undermine the Government's attempt to 'level up' the regions. A rise in fuel duty will only be of 'miniscule' benefit to the nation's finances and could lead to thousands of job losses, experts warn  Analysis by the Centre for Economics and Business Research suggests a 2p rise will cut GDP by almost £600million and lead to 8,000 of job losses. They say a rise in fuel duty will only have a &#

Husband murdered his 'camgirl' wife by 'hitting her in the head with an Absinthe bottle' - but he says she 'was drunk and fell'

The murder trial of an Alabama man accused of killing his 'camgirl' wife by hitting her in the head with a bottle of Absinthe liquor began on Tuesday. On January 13, 2018, Kathleen Dawn 'Kat' West, 42, was found partially nude by a passing motorist around 5am outside the couple's Calera home. Her husband Jeffrey West was charged with her murder, accused of using a bottle of Lucid Absinthe to hit her in the head several times.  Prosecutors said Tuesday during opening statements in Shelby County Court that he and his wife had argued several times before her death.  Meanwhile, his attorney John Charles Robbins argued Kat was drunk and fell and hit her head the night she died.  Kat was a 'camgirl' who had a subscription-only website where she went by the name of Kitty Kat West and posted risqué-photos of herself. Her Twitter and Instagram accounts also featured revealing photos of herself and directed viewers to her paid adult content website.  On Tuesday the mu

End of the road for petrol and diesel cars in just nine years: Boris Johnson will announce 2030 ban on sales tomorrow as he paves the way for electric vehicle revolution

Sales of new petrol and diesel cars are to be banned in 2030, Boris Johnson will announce today. Paving the way for an electric vehicle revolution, he is to unveil a ten-point, £12billion plan for the environment. It includes further investment in nuclear power, wind energy, domestic heating and cutting-edge technology such as carbon capture and storage.  The petrol and diesel ban is to start in nine years – a decade earlier than originally planned. The Prime Minister will herald a 'green industrial revolution' that could create 250,000 jobs and slash the country's carbon emissions. However, with electric vehicles costing far more than conventional models, the plan could hit the poor. Sales of new petrol and diesel cars are to be banned in 2030, Boris Johnson will announce today A leading economist warned the switch would put £40billion in road taxes at risk because electric vehicles are exempt.  'Some form of road pricing will be needed,' said Paul Johnson of the I

Just ONE per cent of the world's population is responsible for up to HALF of harmful carbon emissions caused by air travel, study suggests

Just one per cent of the world's population is responsible for up to half of harmful carbon emissions caused by travelling by plane, a study suggests. Researchers estimated only 11 per cent of people globally got on a plane in 2018 based on passenger data. Travel surveys show up to a quarter of flyers do so only once a year for their annual holiday. However, around one in 10 are very frequent flyers while the worst culprits get on a plane almost every day of a year.  Just one per cent of the world's population is responsible for up to half of harmful carbon emissions caused by travelling by plane, a study suggests  Researchers said these 'super-emitters' make up only one per cent of the world's population, but produce 30 to 50 per cent of carbon emissions from aviation. Professor Stefan Goessling, from Linnaeus University in Sweden, who led the study, said: 'Some individuals will produce more carbon emissions in a year than entire African villages or cities.
