Nearly three million people in England will be offered free Vitamin D supplements this winter. The Government will deliver doses of the 'sunshine vitamin' to all care home residents as well as people classified as 'clinically extremely vulnerable'. Deliveries will be free of charge, starting in January, providing four months' worth of supplements to last 2.7million people through the winter months. The supplements support general health, in particular bone and muscle health, but around one in five Britons have Vitamin D deficincies.

Three million care home residents will receive free Vitamin D supplements to help them combat Covid-19 Health Secretary Matt Hancock, pictured, said people who were sheltering and have not been getting enough daylight could benefit from Vitamin D during the darker winter mont

Los Angeles County announced a new stay-home order Friday as coronavirus cases surged out of control in the nation´s most populous county, banning most gatherings but stopping short of a full shutdown on retail stores and other non-essential businesses. The three-week order takes effect Monday.  It came as the county of 10 million residents confirmed 24 new deaths and 4,544 new confirmed cases of COVID-19. The county had set a threshold for issuing the stay-home order: an average of 4,500 cases a day over a five-day period, but hadn't expected to reach that level until next month. However, the five-day average of new cases reported Friday was 4,751. 'We know we are asking a lot from so many who have been sacrificing for months on end,' Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer said.  'Acting with collective urgency right now is essential if we want to put a stop to this surge.' The order advises residents to stay home 'as much as possible' and to wear a face cov

Police will be able to arrest and search freed terrorists at a moment's notice, according to plans due to be rushed into law next year. Officers will be allowed to enter and search a released terrorist's home without any evidence just to check up on them. It comes amid renewed efforts to prevent further terrorism following the London Bridge and Streatham attacks, reported the Telegraph. The new move aims to make terrorists think twice about hiding concealed weapons and to prevent offenders from striking again once they are freed from prison. Police and security services are preparing for the release of 100 convicted terrorists, some as early as next month.     Officers will be allowed to enter and search a released terrorist's home without any evidence just to check up on them.

The top U.S. cybersecurity official fired by Republican President Donald Trump for saying the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history said on Friday voter fraud allegations made by Trump and his allies are 'farcical'. In his first interview since being fired by Trump, Chris Krebs, the former director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told CBS 60 Minutes that allegations of U.S. voting machines being manipulated by foreign countries were baseless. Sidney Powell, a Trump attorney cut loose by the Trump legal team this week, had put forward a conspiracy theory that election systems created in Venezuela at the behest of the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez helped tip the U.S. election to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden. 'There's no evidence that any machine that I'm aware of has been manipulated by a foreign power. Period,' Krebs said, calling such allegations 'farcical cla

He went into cardiac arrest on his way to hospital and needed surgery and 37 units of blood and 37 units of plasma to keep him alive - despite the fact the body only contains eight units of each. Newcastle Crown Court heard Mr Brown is now

Harvey Weinstein — the monster of Hollywood — is fighting on several fronts. The film producer who once ruled the A-list is trying to appeal his February conviction for rape and sexual assault. He is also being sued for millions by numerous alleged victims, has further rape and assault cases coming up in Los Angeles and London, and his company faces bankruptcy. But of the many battles the now-frail mogul is fighting, surely the most painful is the one with his two ex-wives. In a stunning legal pincer movement, first wife Eve Chilton and second wife, British fashion designer Georgina Chapman — who reportedly loathed one another before Weinstein’s downfall — have succeeded in freezing £4.5 million of his remaining assets. This has left him to rot in Wende jail in Buffalo, New York, because now he doesn’t have the money to pay the lawyers who are supposed to be preparing his appeal.

New church rules say they should communicate 'respectfully, responsibly and transparently' online. The guidance has been made public weeks after Cardinal Vincent Nichols, leader of the church in England and Wales, was criticised by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.

The University of Cambridge is at the centre of a free speech row after lecturers refused to back a new rule which could mean they face disciplinary action for mocking people they disagree with. The University's Council has proposed a series of rules which would require academics to be 'respectful of the diverse identities of others'.  But critics have argued that the proposals, which are looking to change free speech guidelines, are 'authoritarian'.  Academics said the university has 'no right' to demand they be respectful to all beliefs, arguing that they have a 'right' to satirize and mock them.  The University of Cambridge is at the centre of a free speech row after lecturers refused to back a new rule which could mean they face disciplinary action for mocking people they disagree with (file photo) The professors say the vague wording of the rules could be used to undermine their freedom of speech as academics, rather than protect it.  'The b

A left-wing federal Labor MP representing one of Australia's most influential electorates has declared coal has 'no future' and will be replaced with hydrogen power, adding further fuel to climate change ideological battles within the party Julie Owens, the member for booming Parramatta in Sydney's west, may have been born in the coal-mining city of Rockhampton, in central Queensland, but she's declared coal will need to be phased out to tackle climate change. 'I can't imagine that at this point in time, we will manage to stabilise the environment without phasing out of a whole range of fossil fuels,' Ms Owens told Daily Mail Australia.  'I'm not putting a decade on it and now you've really got me talking into stuff that I'm not supposed to talk about.' Her comments show just how tangled the Labor Party's energy debate has become as it tries to win back middle-class and working Australians who are not obsessed with global warming.
