According to fire officials, a fire that damaged a Planned Parenthood health clinic in Knoxville, Tennessee, last month was deliberately set. When the building burned down on Dec. 31, Planned Parenthood stated it was nearing the finish of a $2.2 million remodeling and expansion project. In a statement, Ashley Coffield, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Tennessee and North Mississippi, stated, "This is an abhorrent and tragic act of violence against Planned Parenthood, our patients, and our community." The health clinic had already been targeted. On the 48th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court judgement, which recognized the constitutional right to an abortion, someone fired a shotgun at its front doors on Jan. 22, 2021. "We are devoted to our patients in East Tennessee and will not let this attack take away the important health care services on which they rely," Coffield added, "even if it will take time to rebuild." The fire department s

An inquest heard that a mother who fatally drugged her two daughters before killing herself was afraid that if she left them behind, they would be taken into care. Tiffany Stevens, 27, supplied fatal chemicals to Darcey Stevens, 18 months, and Casey-Lea Taylor, three years, at their house in 2019. She then allegedly ingested a concoction of medications, according to the Bolton Coroner's Court. Ms Stevens killed her two children before killing herself, according to Assistant Coroner Peter Sigee. Their deaths were discovered on January 21, 2019, at a residence in Arthur Street, Little Lever, Bolton, and may have been there for a week, according to the inquest. Ms Stevens had a "traumatic" background after being placed in foster care as a kid, according to the court, which led to her "dislike" and "trust" of social services. She attempted suicide when she was 19 and was referred for mental health therapy at least eight times between 2011 and 2017, but she

As they return to school in England, some older students are refusing to take lateral flow examinations and wearing facial covers in classrooms, according to parents and other students. Charities are concerned about the consequences of ignoring this guidance on disadvantaged kids. Other parents, on the other hand, claim that masks have an impact on their children's learning. Schools, according to the government, "may decide how best to encourage" students to take examinations and wear masks. The Department for Education (DfE) stated that students should not be "denied education" because they wear a mask or not. It has already stated that it is committed to keeping schools open despite the fact that more staff absences are likely. 'We don't need to wear masks,' says the group. Pupils in England have been advised to do Covid tests in school before returning to class this week, as well as to wear face coverings in class. These are, however, only suggest

Novak Djokovic's plans to compete in the Australian Open this month have been thwarted when his visa application was denied. He'll be flown out of Melbourne on Thursday, amid a growing controversy over the tournament's organisers' controversial "medical exemption." The reigning Australian Open champion was detained for many hours at Tullamarine airport in Melbourne, the tournament's host city, on Wednesday night as he was questioned. On Thursday morning, the Australian Border Force confirmed that he would not be allowed to stay in the nation. "Those who come at our border will continue to comply with our rules and entrance criteria," the ABF said in a statement. "The Australian Border Force can confirm that Mr Djokovic failed to present adequate documentation to meet Australia's entrance requirements, and his visa was subsequently cancelled." "Non-citizens who enter Australia without a valid visa or whose visa has been cancelle

For a president who has long prided himself on reducing the temperature in political debate, the words revealed a new combative and harsh tone. President Joe Biden celebrated his first year in office with a victory lap on Friday, boasting low unemployment and record job growth despite polling showing the American people is dissatisfied with Biden's handling of the economy. "People quitting their employment have received a lot of press attention. The reason for this, according to today's data, is that Americans are moving up to better positions "After the release of the final monthly jobs report for 2021, Biden stated from the White House."For the American people, this is the kind of recovery I promised and hoped for." "Today, America is the only major country in the world where the economy as a whole is stronger than before the outbreak," the president said, citing a surging stock market and increased average incomes. Biden's remarks – in which

After industry organizations called for remaining limits and tests to be lifted, ministers are finalizing revisions to the trip Covid testing requirements. According to Star TV, the government may eliminate the requirement for people to take a test two days before coming in the UK. Airlines have claimed that passenger testing is having little real impact, despite data released last week indicating that one in every 25 individuals in England has the virus. Compulsory testing, they claim, has slowed the sector's recovery. It comes as the prime minister prepares to meet with his cabinet to persuade them to support his decision not to impose any more Covid limits in the UK. According to Star Tv, the government is considering removing the recommendation that persons who test positive on a lateral flow device should seek a confirmatory PCR test. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that he thought the UK could "ride out" the current storm, albeit he admitted that the NHS might be temp

Authorities say they discovered over 600 Amazon packages dumped outside Oklahoma City on New Year's Eve that were scheduled to be delivered by Christmas. According to the Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office, the items were located in a remote location about 30 miles northeast of the city. According to the sheriff's office, tracking information showed that the shipments departed an Amazon location and were meant to be delivered to a USPS facility. The sheriff's office stated, "Someone had removed the goods they desired and dumped the remainder." "(Apparently the thief isn't a big reader...the books that were supposed to be delivered were left behind.)" The following was added to the post: "Please do not contact us if you are missing a package. We're working with the USPS and have contacted Amazon, so you should hear from someone soon." Several customers commented that their misplaced Christmas gifts were most likely transported with the

Lina Sardar Khil was last seen on December 20 at a playground at an apartment complex. Lina Sardar Khil is a writer. San Antonio Police Chief Bill McManus said on Twitter that the search near the property on Tuesday was part of an investigation into every feasible site. "I wish I could be a little more upbeat."

Due to the latest Covid-19 surge, the teachers union voted to move to remote learning, and classes in Chicago's public schools would be canceled on Wednesday, district officials stated late Tuesday. The decision in the nation's third-largest school district comes amid a heated debate regarding school pandemic safety practices. For the rest of the week, the status of instruction remained uncertain. The union's action, which received 73 percent of members' approval, called for remote instruction until "cases considerably subside" or union executives establish an agreement with the district on safety protocols. In a statement, the union added, "This decision was made with a heavy and sole focus on student and community safety." Officials with the Chicago Public Schools have insisted on keeping all schools open for in-person classes, claiming that remote instruction has proven detrimental to children's academic and emotional health during the pandemi

Another 218,724 daily Covid-19 cases have been registered in the UK, according to the Prime Minister.

Meanwhile, non-urgent surgeries are reportedly being halted in Greater Manchester as NHS hospitals struggle to deal with rising demand. Due to Covid-19, a number of NHS trusts around the UK have declared "serious events" due to personnel shortages and increased demands.
