Chicago's July 4 weekend saw the city's serious crime rate continue to spiral, with six people shot and killed and another nine struck by bullets and wounded in less than 72 hours.  The deadly violence began early Friday evening at around 6:30pm , when 20-year-old Jeremiah Fangster was fatally shot and his unidentified pal, also 20, shot in the leg and wounded after a gunman walked up and opened fire on their car while they waited at a red light at the 3900-block of West 16th Street. Fangster, who was driving, accelerated away quickly.

A state health minister has been mercilessly mocked on national television for his stern and 'over dramatic' advice for residents impacted by the latest coronavirus lockdown. Millions of Sydneysiders and residents in surrounding regions remain under stay at home orders as the latest outbreak from the city's eastern suburbs surges past 220 cases. With no word yet on whether the two week lockdown will end as planned at midnight Friday, NSW health minister Brad Hazzard raised eyebrows with the claim that we're no longer safe from the highly contagious Indian Delta strain of the virus in our own homes with a reference from Australian movie classic The Castle. He also warned affected residents to not get too intimate or affectionate to those not living in their household, sparking bewilderment on The Project on Sunday night. Health minister Brad Hazzard offered some stern Covid advice on Sunday 'Right now the most dangerous place is actually our homes,' Mr Hazzard

England stars Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford were today getting in some well-earned relaxation time as they start preparations for their next huge Euros clash. The young lions were pictured together soaking in a hot tub with beaming smiles a day after their team destroyed Ukraine 4-0 with one of their most accomplished and composed performances of recent times. 'Recovery with the bro ski,' wrote Sterling in reference to Rashford, who replied 'My guy' followed by an England flag and a fist bump emoji. England ran riot at Rome's Stadio Olimpico last night, with a well-judged pass by Sterling leading to a brilliant strike by Harry Kane to open the scoring four minutes in. After putting in the solid performance Sterling was then subbed off for rest by manager Gareth Southgate and replaced by his friend Rashford to finish out the last quarter of the match.   Young lions Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford were pictured together soaking in a hot tub with beaming smil

Top doctors are urging Australians not to wait for their 'favourite vaccine' and instead get a Covid-19 jab as soon as possible.  Dr Nick Coatsworth said 'real world data' shows the AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines are both equivalent in terms of effectiveness against coronavirus. AstraZeneca gives 92 per cent protection from hospitalisation or death, while Pfizer gives 96 per cent, which he called 'equivalent'. The former Deputy Chief Medical Officer, who spend all of last year shaping Australia's national pandemic policies, said Australia's fear of the AstraZeneca inoculation has become a 'significant barrier' to getting Australians vaccinated.  Top doctors (Dr Nick Coatsworth, left, and Professor Tony Blakely, right) are urging Australians not to wait for their 'favourite vaccine' and instead get a Covid-19 jab as soon as possible The Oxford University designed dose has been linked to extremely rare blood clotting in Australia and thr

Britons are set to brace themselves for yet more rain tonight and into this week - although the outlook will be brighter for England's crunch Euro 2020 semi-final match at Wembley on Wednesday evening. A Met Office yellow weather warning for thunderstorms for northern England, Northern Ireland and Scotland is in place until midnight tonight - after nearly two inches of rain fell in Plymouth, in the South-West of England, today. Northern England is expected to also experience 'muggy' temperatures which will remain stubbornly high at around 61F overnight. On Monday, further rain is expected for much of Northern England, with showers, as well as hail, also set to fall in parts of the south.  Photos showed the extent of the wet weather, with two women shoppers in London seen sheltering from the rain under a coat, whilst cricket spectators who had gathered to watch England's third one-day international against Sri Lanka in Bristol also had to put up their umbrellas as the he

The freedom of millions of Australians is beholden to the whims of paranoid medical chiefs and their state premiers, business leaders fear, as vaccines are rolled out to GPs for 40 to 59-year-olds to boost the fledgling rollout. Scott Morrison last week outlined a four-phase transition towards living with Covid and finally ending the relentless cycle of lockdowns and border closures. The Prime Minister hailed a 'new deal for Australians' first focused on vaccination, but top business bosses want the government to go a stage further and commit to ending lockdowns and opening international borders by the beginning of 2022. In a bid to quicken this process, thousands of Australians hoping to get vaccinated against Covid-19 will soon have their best opportunity yet, when more than 500 GPs across the country roll out the Pfizer jab for those aged between 40 and 59. The Pfizer vaccine will be available to more doctors from Monday, as several states and territories continue battling v
