Test and Trace in England hits another low with just 58% of contacts reached – BBC News

Published

on



The Test and Trace scheme in England has had its worst-performing week since the beginning of July, when it comes to reaching the contacts of those infected in the community.

The tracing team only reached 58% of contacts of those testing positive in the first week of October.

Meanwhile people working at one coronavirus testing laboratory have told of their concerns about safety standards.

One scientist who worked at the Milton Keynes Lighthouse Lab claimed staff were being put at risk.

The Health and Safety Executive has found breaches in safety following the claims. The company which runs the laboratory says it has strict safety measures in place and the government said it regularly reviews and inspects the labs it uses.

Huw Edwards presents BBC News at Ten reporting by health editor Hugh Pym and health correspondent Sophie Hutchinson.

    Please pay attention to the overly heard sentence: 'Safety is our number 1 priority.'
    The issues i can see are two:
    1. Most humans still learn things mnemonically. So, i am not surprised they just repeat this sentence without appreciating what it really means.
    2. Health and Education are two sectors where there should not be space for companies. Look at many universities: they are run as companies but under the banner of charities!
    The last comment i like to make, which i learned only recently from a French blogger, is: CAPITALISM in NOT fully compatible with DEMOCRACY.
    And this might be one reason why we have these sort of issues.
    How to solve this fundamental flaw is way beyond my reach.
    All i can say is that i like aspects of both CAPITALISM and DEMOCRACY.
    Thanks

    I guess people are realizing that this contact tracing is nothing but nonsense designed to force control of people. What absolute garbage you keep pushing! And all of this while the WHO has told countries to STOP with Lock Downs! You are really getting it wrong! And we know positive test does not mean people are actually sick with the almost completely unreliable PCR tests…

Homes set on fire in Belfast night of violence after knife attack | BBC News

Published

on



Houses, cars, and a bus were set on fire in Belfast last night in a night of violence that followed a knife attack on Monday.

The suspect, a 30-year-old Sudanese man who claimed asylum in the UK, is in court later.

In one area, hundreds of masked men carrying bottles and bricks set bins on fire and shouted “foreigners out”, our reporter says.

Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill says “groups of masked men” were “burning families out of their homes” – Chief Constable Jon Boutcher says the violence was a “huge act of self-harm by mindless idiots”.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has described the chaos in Belfast on Tuesday night as “shocking and completely unacceptable”.

Myanmar’s civil war has claimed almost 100,000 lives.

In 2021 the country’s military seized power in a coup. After losing ground to rebel and ethnic groups, it’s making a renewed push, carrying out the forced-recruitment of tens of thousands of conscripts and employing new drone technology.

The United Nations’ human rights spokesman has condemned the military’s tactics which he’s called brutal and said that civilians are paying a terrible price.

BBC correspondent, Quentin Sommerville and Camera Journalist Darren Conway have spent time with rebel groups.

The furious dispute over what caused Air India flight 171 to crash | BBC News

Published

on



On 12 June 2025, a London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed seconds after taking off from Ahmedabad in western India, killing at least 260 people, including 241 passengers and crew on board.

Investigators have yet to publish their final findings into the cause of the crash.

A preliminary report into the incident from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau found both of the plane’s fuel switches moved to the “cut-off” position “immediately” after take-off, stopping fuel supply to the engine.

What is not clear however, is what actually caused the crash.
