GPs can earn £100 an hour without leaving home by carrying out remote consultations with patients. It is the same rate being offered for in-person consultations, with ‘flexible’ shifts available for doctors during evenings and weekends. The opportunity for GPs, advertised by Brighton-based out-of-hours care provider Improving Access Services, follows increasing concerns from some patients, particularly elderly ones, about the shift away from in-person appointments. It follows a rise in wages which saw the average GP in England earn £100,700 in 2019-20.

Violence among the inmates has increased over the past year as 'broken bones, stitches, and stabbings' have been reported by the officers, according to Fox News.   'We're working 25-plus hours straight, no meal breaks, the conditions of having gang members in the same housing areas – gang affiliated housing – we're being assaulted with impunity,' Correction Officers' Benevolent Association President Benny Boscio told the network.  Boscio also added that there has been a 23% increase in inmates with violent felony charges.

Windswept Al Roker was pummeled by angry waves alongside Lake Pontchartain as he and the TODAY team reported live from New Orleans just hours before record-setting Hurricane Ida made landfall this afternoon.  The footage of the 67-year-old meteorologist laid bare the immense force of the Category 4 hurricane that careened from Cuba up into the Gulf of Mexico on Friday and led tens of thousands to evacuate their homes.  The power of the storm's 150mph winds, which made landfall around midday local time Sunday, were apparent as Roker's rain jacket and pants fluttered around him and roiling waves crashed down onto his head.  Behind-the-scenes footage of weather conditions that Roker shared to Instagram early Sunday morning painted an even clearer picture of the storm's ramping severity. 'We just got word that this will most likely be one of the top five strongest landfalls ever,' shouted weatherman Al Roker in a broadcast aired from New Orleans around 7 am EST this mor

Former  Army generals last night accused ministers of being 'asleep on watch' and warned they would have 'blood on their hands' if the Taliban kill any interpreter abandoned by Britain. It came as Dominic Raab faced more pressure to quit last night over claims hundreds of vulnerable Afghans who helped the British may have been needlessly left behind. Major General Charlie Herbert, who served in Afghanistan, said that the Foreign Secretary should consider his position. It emerged yesterday that Mr Raab had not spoken to his Afghan or Pakistani counterparts once in the six months before the fall of Kabul. One minister said that if the Foreign Secretary had come back earlier from his holiday in Crete this month, it may have been possible to save another 1,000 Afghans eligible for rescue. Dominic Raab faced more pressure to quit last night over claims hundreds of vulnerable Afghans who helped the British may have been needlessly left behind Major General Herbert, who has ca

Prosecutors said in a proffer, according to CBS Chicago , that Long and a yet-unidentified suspect parked in a 2009 Saturn Aura behind Yvonne Ruzich, 70, as she talked to her stepson whose vehicle was double-parked next to hers. A 17-year-old Chicago boy is being tried as an adult for murder after he allegedly killed 70-year-old Yvonne Ruzich in the last of a string of attempted carjackings. Malique Long was arrested outside his home on Friday, then held without bail after he appeared in court on Saturday. He is accused of shooting dead the grandmother outside the convenience store where she worked on August 16.  Police said Long approached Ruzich's vehicle and began shooting without hesitation outside the deadly Hegewisch incident on Baltimore Avenue.  Long and the other juvenile, wearing head-to-toe black and gray respectively, got out of their vehicle brandishing guns and approached the two cars.  The gray-clad youth stepped between Ruzich and her stepson's cars with Long cl

A manhunt is underway for a mother and father suspected of abducting their two-year-old daughter and taking her to Spain as detectives say they are growing 'increasingly concerned' for the child's welfare. Kelly Gibson, 35, and Lee Rogers, 39, are believed to have boarded a flight from Glasgow to Alicante with their daughter, Gracie-May Rogers, on Tuesday.  In a CCTV image shared by Lancashire Police, the child, from Lancaster, is seen being pushed in her pram by her now-wanted parents, who are donning protective face masks.  Investigators believe the trio arrived at Alicante, on the Costa Blanca, at 9.35pm on August 24 - although there has been no reported sighting of the family.         Officers are treating it as a missing child case and are desperately hunting Gibson and Rogers on suspicion of abducting the young girl. A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: 'We are treating Gracie-May as a missing child and both Kelly Gibson, 35, and Lee Rogers, 39, are now wanted

Twenty people who died in a Tennessee flood have had their funerals paid for by an anonymous donor from 'out of town', a funeral home manager said. A man who wished to remain unnamed walked into the the Humphreys County Funeral Home in Waverly on Thursday and paid for the nine funerals being organized there. Manager William Brown told the Tennessean that the man also went to other funeral homes in the area to pay for the funerals of the other 11 victims.

The flooding took out houses, roads, cellphone towers and telephone lines, with rainfall that more than tripled forecasts and shattered the state record for one-day rainfall.  More than 270 homes were destroyed and 160 took major damage, according to the Humphreys County Emergency Management Agency.  Rainfall more than tripled forecasts and shatt
