Care homes are using glass visitor pods during the second lockdown so residents can still see their family. Loved ones sit in one half of a conservatory while their relatives are in the other, with them separated by a window. The move has been hailed as a 'lifeline' for elderly patients who 'come alive' with joy when they see their relations. Care homes such as Northfield Care in Sheffield and Annacliffe Residential Home in Blackpool have already installed similar designs. It comes after the Health Secretary was warned banning care home visits in lockdown would breach 'fundamental human rights'. Leaders of the National Care Forum urged Matt Hancock not to impose a blanket ban on all visits, which was the case during the first national shutdown. Meanwhile official figures show the number of people dying from coronavirus in care homes in England doubled in a fortnight in October. Loved ones will sit in one half of a conservatory while their loved one is in the ot

A council has removed controversial temporary cycle ways installed as part of a Government-funded product due to complaints from residents.  The Government provided money for pop-up cycle ways in May in an effort to reduce demand on public transport and encourage more people to shift to two wheels.  Officials in West Sussex have decided to remove the cycle ways from Crawley, East Grinstead, Horsham, Shoreham and Worthing.  Officials in West Sussex are removing pop-up cycle lanes from several towns after numerous complaints from motorists about additional congestion  Cycle lanes in Crawley, East Grinstead, Horsham, Shoreham and Worthing, pictured, will be removed following a decision by the council. According to the local council, with increased traffic levels and more people using public transport there is no longer any need for the cycle lanes.   Roger Elkins, Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure said: 'The schemes fulfilled their main objectives of offering people dedic

The under-pressure boss of NHS Test and Trace admitted today it needs to take a 'big leap forward' during lockdown to help the country recover. Tory peer Baroness Dido Harding admitted the operation needed to get faster and better at using data today as she found time to take part in a round-table session at the CBI conference. The former TalkTalk boss is facing increasing calls to step down amid widespread criticism of its effectiveness after six months in action. Last week Boris Johnson said he had  'full confidence' in Baroness Harding despite the continued poor performance of what is mean to be a 'world-beating' system under her management.  Addressing the imminent four week lockdown in England the Tory peer said the main problem was people who had Covid but no symptoms.  'Every country is grappling with the same problem and despite everyone’s best efforts and all of the work of our team in NHS Test and Trace to be the second line of defence … the virus

Mayor Bill de Blasio was dubbed 'clueless' on Tuesday after claiming there was 'no reason' for businesses to board up their windows across New York City as tensions boiled over on the precipice of the election.  De Blasio said at his press conference on Monday that there was 'no particular' reason for store owners to board up their fronts.  'Based on what we are seeing, there’s not a particular reason to do that. It’s up to each store owner, obviously,' he said.  On Tuesday, he reiterated his comments: 'Every store owner has to make their own decision. 'We do not have a specific threat... we are not giving guidance to do that but we certainly understand.'  De Blasio said at his press conference on Monday that there was 'no particular' reason for store owners to board up their fronts Workers board up windows on a building in downtown Denver Monday, Nov. 2, 2020, as a precautionary measure amid worries about the potential for demonstrat

The US Air Force’s top secret stealth spy drone dubbed the 'Great White Bat' has reportedly broken its cover, thanks to the quick reactions of a California man who's believed to have snapped the first ever picture of the classified aircraft. A craft matching the description of the bat-wing RQ-180 was pictured soaring over Edwards Air Force Base sometime in early October by photographer Rob Kolinsky, who briefly posted the image to Instagram on Saturday. ‘This thing flew over my house several weeks ago and I still have yet to identify it!’ Kolinsky said in a since-deleted post. ‘It’s shaped like a B-21 … but was painted white. Mystery!’ He added: ‘I was not going to post it but I thought that if it were really classified, they wouldn’t be flying it in broad daylight like this’. The Air Force has never officially acknowledged the existence of the Northrop Grumman-made RQ-180, but Aviation Week reporter Guy Norris identified the aircraft in Kolinsky’s pictures as the classifie

Contact tracers may be struggling to suppress the UK's Covid-19 outbreak because Britons do not want to pick up their phones to unknown numbers, a government adviser has claimed. As many as one in five positive cases and two in five close contacts of those infected with the virus were missed by tracers in the latest week for which data is available, according to Department of Health data. And while health protection teams, who have boots on the ground, managed to reach 97 per cent of contacts, the figure for call centres was 58.1 per cent.  Dr Susan Hopkins, medical adviser to NHS Test and Trace, suggested the system's ability to stem the spread of the virus is being hampered by people ignoring the number on their phones.  The so-called 'world-beating' system has been repeatedly slammed by politicians and public health experts for failing to reach enough people suspected of being infected and asking them to self-isolate.  Dr Susan Hopkins, an adviser to NHS Test and T

The £8.5million Chelsea mansion which collapsed during construction work to build a mega-basement is owned by the family of a Hollywood film mogul.  Neighbours reported hearing a thunderous thud late last night at the mid-terraced house in exclusive Chelsea, west London.  At least 40 people were evacuated from surrounding buildings by firefighters. The collapsed home in Durham Place belonged to the family of film executive Arthur Abeles - who founded United International Pictures in the late 1960s. His wife Audrey, a former model, died earlier this year.    Emergency services frantically worked into the early hours of Tuesday morning to secure the building and adjoining ones. The area is home to a number of celebrities, including Mick Jagger and Roman Abramovich and boasts some of the capital's highest property prices. Mr and Mrs Abeles began an affair while Mrs Abeles was still married to her previous husband, causing something of a scandal in early 1950s London. The mid-terraced
