A nurse was manhandled and arrested by police in Utah Hospital

    The University of Utah Hospital, where a nurse was manhandled and arrested by police as she protected the legal rights of a patient, has imposed new restrictions on law enforcement, including barring officers from patient-care areas and from direct contact with nurses. Gordon Crabtree, interim chief executive of the hospital, said at a Monday news conference that he was deeply troubled by the arrest and manhandling of burn unit nurse Alex Wubbels on July 26. In accord with hospital policy and the law, she had refused to allow a Salt Lake City police officer to take a blood sample from an unconscious patient. Wubbels obtained a copy of the body cam video of the confrontation and, after consulting her lawyer, the hospital and police officials, released it last week. This wil...

Tower Hamlets homeless families are no longer being put in Bed and Breakfast

    Homeless families are no longer being put in Bed and Breakfast accommodation by Tower Hamlets Council longer than the six-week legal limit, latest figures show. Monika Fijak and family in B&B after made homeless by fatal stabing in their flat in Stepney in May. Picture: Mike Brooke This contrasts to 2015 when Mayor Biggs inherited what he said was “the worst performing local authority in the country” for families in B&B. We were shamefully the worst borough, he said. But we have turned round the unfairness of families being made to live in such unsuitable accommodation. The number hit 174 in 2015, but no families have been in B&B for more than six weeks so far this year, the local authority maintains. A town hall undertook to find more accommodation and to stre...

A Tory politician gets Irish passport because Brexit

    A Conservative MEP has secured himself an Irish passport following the vote to leave the European Union, because he is a passionate remainer who wanted reassurance he would stay an EU citizen. Hampshire-born Charles Tannock, whose grandmother born in Dublin in 1895, said he deeply regretted the Brexit outcome. A member of the European Parliament for London, he said had always been interested in his Irish heritage but became more passionate following the referendum. It has been awakened by Brexit because, to be honest, I am quite ashamed to be British in many ways, he told the Irish Times. Mr Tannock said he felt more Irish than ever and planned to go on a pilgrimage with his mother to Ireland, as she had also received an Irish passport. The number of Britons applying for I...

New letter reveals: what Obama advised to Trump

    Barack Obama warned Donald Trump to uphold the rule of law and not undermine the international order in a newly revealed letter from the 44th US president to his successor. The former president gave Trump three key pieces of advice in a letter he left in the Oval Office when he departed the White House. The letter was published on Sunday by CNN. We’ve both been blessed, in different ways, with great good fortune,” Obama told his successor. “Not everyone is so lucky. It’s up to us to do everything we can [to] build more ladders of success for every child and family that’s willing to work hard. Turning to international relations, Obama told Trump, who had embraced isolationism throughout his campaign: American leadership in this world really is indispensable. He added: It’s ...

Boris Johnson’s warning as US threatens to annihilate North Korea

    Boris Johnson has warned President Donald Trump that taking military action against North Korea could provoke Kim Jong-un to “vaporise” the South Korean population in response. Pyongyang announced on Sunday that it had successfully tested a hydrogen bomb that could be loaded onto a long-range missile, which Mr Johnson described as a new order of threat. The Foreign Secretary condemned Pyongyang’s reckless act, and said that all options are on the table, but we really don’t see any easy military solution. President Trump led world condemnation of North Korea’s biggest ever nuclear test, describing the actions of the rogue nation as very hostile and dangerous to the US. He added that appeasement with North Korea will not work, having recently promised to rain fire and fury” ...

Melania Trump wears $1,590 dress and stilettos for second trip to Houston

    First lady Melania Trump is either blissfully unaware of the heat she took last week for her “storm stilettos,” or she doesn’t care what people think. On Sept. 2, on their way to a second visit to hurricane-ravaged Houston, she once again strode with her husband across the White House lawn in sky-high heels. The Trumps departed from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, D.C., just before 10 a.m. Saturday en route to Houston. They’re returning to Texas for a second visit since the megastorm hit and will also visit neighboring Louisiana. One week after Harvey slammed into southeast Texas as a Category 4 hurricane, rescuers were still searching by air and boat for people trapped in flooded homes. On her first visit to Houston after the hurricane, the first lady took a lo...
