Current coronavirus testing inadequate to prevent second wave after schools reopen - scientists

Current Covid-19 testing and contact tracing is inadequate to prevent a second wave of the virus after schools reopen, scientists have warned.

The NHS Test and Trace programme needs to be scaled up in order to reopen schools safely, researchers have warned in a new study.

The authors found that "with increased levels of testing... and effective contact tracing and isolation, an epidemic rebound might be prevented".

But in a worst-case scenario, a second wave could be 2.3 times higher than the first, according to the study published in The Lancet Child And Adolescent Health.

Prosecutor seeks Donald Trump's tax returns 'due to extensive criminal conduct'

A prosecutor pushing for the release of Donald Trump's tax returns has told a judge he was justified in demanding them due to public reports of "extensive" criminal conduct.

The US President's lawyers last month said the grand jury subpoena for the tax returns was issued in bad faith and amounted to harassment of the president.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is seeking eight years of the Republican president's personal and corporate tax records.

Attorneys for Mr Vance said Mr Trump's arguments that a subpoena was too broad stemmed from "the false premise" that the probe was limited to so-called "hush-money" payments.
