Secret grand jury recordings in the Breonna Taylor case will be released on Friday after a judge granted a two-day delay.        Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron filed a motion on Wednesday  asking a court in Louisville for a week's delay to allow the names of witnesses and their personal information, including addresses and phone numbers, to be redacted. Cameron's office said this afternoon that a judge granted a shorter delay, saying the material should be made public on Friday. The audio recordings were originally supposed to be released on Wednesday.    On Tuesday night, Cameron sought to defend himself ahead of the release of records that the grand jury was shown. He has been accused by an unidentified juror of publicly misrepresenting the incident with his submission of evidence and by recommending that only one of the cops should be charged.  On Wednesday, his staff claimed they needed more time to redact some of the names involved. They want another week to comp

Coronavirus cases are not spiralling out of control in schools, Professor Chris Whitty insisted tonight. England's Chief Medical Officer said rates are not going up for school-age children — under the age of 16. And in tonight's Number 10 press conference, he claimed the trend was true 'across the country'.  But he warned this wasn't the case for 17 to 21 year olds, where outbreaks are getting bigger 'quite rapidly'. The figures come after unions and scientists warned that the return of schools would cause an explosion in cases which, although children do not seem to get ill with Covid-19, could have put the health of staff and parents at risk.

A new website has been launched for parents to find out how at risk their children are from coronavirus at school. The National Education Union has developed the online tool, that lets mothers and fathers type in the school's name and see levels of infection in the area. It displays the number of Covid-19 cases in their locality, whether it is on a watchlist or if local restrictions are in place. The NEU believes it will reinforce public health messaging from local authorities and Government where cases are higher.  It adds that it says it hopes the map will also reassure parents of children in low case areas. The site will use the increased amounts of data now made available by the Government. Cick here to visit the website. Commenting on the launch, Kevin Courtney, Joint General Secretary of the National Education Union, said: 'Everyone in the education sector has worked hard to make full opening of schools, colleges and universities as successful as possible this autumn, but

Republican Senator Mitt Romney said 'of course' President Donald Trump should have condemned white supremacists during the presidential debate Tuesday night.   'Of course, of course,' Romney, who's openly criticized Trump when he disagrees with the president, told reporters on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning. 'It was not a Lincoln Douglas debate, that's for sure,' he added of the clash between Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden that pundits dubbed a 's*** show' and 'dumpster fire.'  And Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who is in a tough re-election bid, said Trump should 'absolutely' condemn white supremacy.  Trump repeatedly interrupted Biden during the 90 minute debate, much to the frustration of the Democratic nominee and moderator Chris Wallace.  The night ended up in verbal irruption and irruption with talk it was one of the worst presidential debates in history. In one of the night's many stand out moments,

The Bank of England's chief economist blasted doom-mongers 'catastrophising' the impact of coronavirus today, saying that overly pessimistic view could hold back the recovery. Andy Haldane cautioned against 'the economics of Chicken Licken', a reference to a folk tale about a chicken who worried the sky was falling down. He said the central bank expects the economy to rebound with 'vertiginous' growth of 20 per cent in the third quarter and said the faster-than-expected recovery should not be overlooked. It came as  revised figures showed that the UK's economic plunge at the peak of coronavirus lockdown was not quite as bad as thought - but still the worst in modern history. Official figures for the fall in GDP during the three months to June have been revised down from 20.4 per cent to 19.8 per cent.  Speaking at an online event today, Mr Haldane said the economy faces an 'unholy trinity of risks' from rising Covid-19 cases, mounting job losses
