Midwives are 'risking lives with jab scare stories' as experts warn women are in danger of stillbirths if they don't get the Covid vaccine

Midwives are putting the health of pregnant women at risk by telling them not to get the Covid jab, vaccine experts have warned. Maternity staff across the NHS are also putting their patients in danger of suffering premature or stillbirths with unfounded scare stories about the jabs, medics say. The alarm has been sounded after data showed a worrying rise in unvaccinated mums-to-be being admitted to hospital.  One intensive care doctor from a Midlands hospital said roughly ten per cent of their patients were pregnant women. A poll of 9,000 British pregnant women – revealed to The Mail on Sunday – showed that more than three-quarters had not been urged to take the jab by maternity staff. Midwives are putting the health of pregnant women at risk by telling them not to get the Covid jab, vaccine experts have warned  Yet expectant mothers who catch Covid are three times as likely to end up in intensive care as non-vulnerable people, and three times more likely to experience premature birth

Donald Trump wins $1MILLION tax refund on his controversial Chicago skyscraper - but state attorney Kim Foxx is trying to BLOCK him from getting it

Donald Trump is due a $1 million tax refund on his controversial Chicago skyscraper  - but state attorney Kim Foxx's office is trying to stop him from getting it. The billionaire ex-president is in line to receive the windfall after the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board voted 5-0 to refund the amount levied on the Trump International Hotel and Tower's commercial units for the 2011 tax year.  Around $540,000 of that money will be redirected from Chicago's public schools to pay Trump.   His lawyers had previously argued that he was paying too much tax on the 98-floor building because he could not find tenants to fill the tower's commercial units, meaning they had been overvalued. Previous attempts to claw back tax failed because assessors insisted the empty retail units added 'contributory value' to the building, and should be taxed as if they were occupied.   The Appeals Board has now sided with him, with the cash that Trump is owed coming out of a public kitty

Black Philadelphia man, 60, is freed from prison 30 years after he was jailed for a murder of storeowner he didn't commit when witnesses recanted their statements against him

A black Philadelphia man was released from prison Thursday after serving more than 30 years behind bars for a 1984 murder he didn't commit. Curtis Crosland returned home to five children, his fiancée and 32 grandchildren after witnesses used to convict him recanted their statements.  'It's a great feeling to still be dad, to be wanted and desired, and open arms to receive you, that's been the greatest part of being exonerated, that I come home to a loving family that wants and needs me,' Crosland told CNN.  Crosland was convicted in 1991 for the 1984 robbery and murder of South Philadelphia storeowner Il Man Heo and sentenced to life in prison.  The conviction was based on the testimonies of two informants - Rodney Everett and Delores Tilghman - who lied about Crosland to get leniency in their own cases.  Risheen Crosland, left, and his father Curtis Crosland, right, gather with family after Curtis was released from prison for a crime he did not commit Delores Crosl

Thousands of anti-vaxxers march through Paris holding placards saying 'we are not guinea pigs' and 'it is our choice' in opposition to compulsory jabs and vaccine passports

Thousands of demonstrators fought running battles with police in Paris today as protests against a vaccine passport were held across France. Around 150 separate events were organised in major cities and town after the government used emergency powers to bring in new anti-Coronavirus measures. By early afternoon on Saturday, tear gas and baton charges were being used against violent groups in Paris. Four marches descended on the Place de la Bastille, where water cannons and squads of gendarmes and CRS riot police were waiting for them. 'Some of the marches are illegal, and they are being joined by anarchist groups who are not directly linked to the protest,' said one officer at the scene. More than 160,000 people marched in Paris and other major cities in protest against President Emmanuel Macron's vaccine drive last weekend, and a similar number was expected this Saturday. Many of the protests were organised by the so-called Gilets Jaunes, or Yellow Vest anti-government mov

Hawaii Police are accused of 'dehumanizing' homeless people over plan to deploy ROBOT police dogs to scan vagrants' eyes to see if they're sick in a bid to keep first responders safe from COVID

Spot is a robotic police dog being employed by several police departments across the world If you're homeless and looking for temporary shelter in Hawaii's capital, expect a visit from a robotic police dog that will scan your eye to make sure you don't have a fever. That's just one of the ways public safety agencies are starting to use Spot, the best-known of a new commercial category of robots that trot around with animal-like agility. The handful of police officials experimenting with the four-legged machines say they're just another tool, like existing drones and simple wheeled robots, to keep emergency responders out of harm's way as they scout for dangers.  But privacy watchdogs - the human kind - warn that police are secretly rushing to buy the robots without setting safeguards against aggressive, invasive or dehumanizing uses. In Honolulu, the police department spent about $150,000 in federal pandemic relief money to buy their Spot from robotics firm Bos
