Mums and babies dying during childbirth has increased for the first time in a decade, a shock report shows. Lord Darzi, who recently completed a landmark review of the NHS as a whole, looked at rates of women dying during or shortly after pregnancy , and babies dying within 28 days of being born. His latest report found rates of neonatal deaths - babies born at 20 weeks or after, but who die before they are 28-days-old - and maternal deaths - women who die while pregnant or up to six weeks after due to issues linked to pregnancy - increased for the first time in 10 years and are continuing to rise. It comes after a string of major maternity scandals at struggling NHS trusts at which poor care was linked to hundreds of baby deaths and many more being left brain damaged. Lord Darzi is co-director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation at Imperial College London which conducted the review. He said: "Our latest report on patient safety in England reveals alarming declines. The deterioration in maternity care, in particular, requires immediate action. Our analysis highlights a troubling increase in neonatal and maternal deaths, with black women disproportionately affected." Between 2013 and 2020, the neonatal death rate fell by 17%, from 1.7 to 1.3 per 1,000 live births. But it rose to 1.5 per 1,000 live births in 2022, an increase of 15.4%. Maternal deaths were described as "steady" between 2011 and 2013 and 2017 and 2019, although between 2017 and 2019 and 2020 to 2022, the rate increased from 8.8 to 13.4 deaths per 100,000. The report described the figure as "a statistically significant increase of 52.3%". It also pointed to an uneven spread of the impacts of unsafe care, which are "greater in the North than the South". Lord Darzi added: "The NHS is now falling behind leading nations in patient safety. We urgently need to address these issues to repair the health service, and provide high-quality care for all patients and their families." James Titcombe, chief executive of the charity Patient Safety Watch, said: "These findings and recommendations must contribute to urgent and meaningful discussion about the changes needed, so that when we revisit the data in two years, we see these troubling trends reversed and tangible progress in reducing the devastating impact of healthcare harm on patients, families, and healthcare professionals." A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: "Patient safety is paramount, and all women and their babies deserve safe, high-quality care. We are working to introduce a culture of transparency in our health service and will never turn a blind eye to failure. We are committed to driving up standards in healthcare through our Plan for Change, and we will tackle the shocking inequalities that exist across the country. We will also work closely with NHS England to train thousands more midwives to better support women throughout their pregnancy and beyond."Alex Jones keeps Infowars for now after judge rejects The Onion's winning auction bidlightning link casino slots 。

By ZEKE MILLER, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team on Tuesday signed an agreement to allow the Justice Department to conduct background checks on his nominees and appointees after a weeks-long delay. The step lets Trump transition aides and future administration staffers obtain security clearances before Inauguration Day to access classified information about ongoing government programs, an essential step for a smooth transiton of power. It also allows those nominees who are up for Senate confirmation to face the background checks lawmakers want before voting on them. Teams of investigators have been standing by to process clearances for Trump aides and advisers. “This agreement with the Department of Justice will ensure President Trump and his team are ready on Day 1 to begin enacting the America First Agenda that an overwhelming majority of our nation supported on Election Day,” said Susie Wiles, Trump’s designate to be White House chief of staff. The announcement comes a week after the Trump transition team signed an agreement with the Biden White House to allow transition staff to coordinate with the existing federal workforce before taking office on Jan. 20. The White House agreement was supposed to have been signed by Oct. 1, according to the Presidential Transition Act, and the Biden White House had issued both public and private appeals for Trump’s team to sign on. Security clearances are required to access classified information, including on ongoing operations and threats to the nation, and the Biden White House and outside experts have emphasized to Trump’s team the importance of having cleared personnel before Inauguration Day so they could be fully briefed and ready to run the government. Republican Senators have also insisted on FBI background checks for Trump’s nominees before they face confirmation votes, as has been standard practice for decades. Lawmakers have been particularly interested in seeing the findings of reviews into Trump’s designated nominee for defense secretary, former Fox News host Pete Hegseth, and for Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be director of national intelligence. “That’s why it’s so important that we have an FBI background check, a committee review of extensive questions and questionnaires, and a public hearing,” said. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine on Monday. John Thune, the incoming Senate Republican leader, said the Trump team “understands there’s going to have to be a thorough vetting of all these nominees.” AP congressional correspondent Lisa Mascaro contributed.The PGA Tour has shown off its brand new production studio to golf fans on social media, with a tour video including an appearance by the sport's most recognizable face, Tiger Woods. Sharing the clip to their social media pages, 82-time PGA Tour winner Woods is seen making his way around the complex which spans a whopping 165,000 square feet in size. The studio, which is located in Ponte Verde Beach, Florida, will be the home to all PGA Tour productions starting in January 2025. Initially revealing the plans in January of this year, the sport's leading circuit has revealed aims to reach more fans than ever before, basing their new World Feed from the Studio in the New Year. Bryson DeChambeau teases Happy Gilmore 2 cameo after Adam Sandler's surprise trailer drop Golf fans send clear message over PGA Tour-LIV fallout to Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau Speaking earlier this year, Luis Goicouria, PGA Tour Senior Vice President of Media, said: "Everything that we’re doing in terms of forward thinking and new technologies is about serving the fans and meeting them where they are by customizing content so it’s maximized for any individual platform. "Some of the technologies coming out now will be really important and some won’t. Of course, you can’t tell where the fans will be, but there’s a lot of cool things you can do around golf, so the idea for us is to use some of these new platforms and technologies to show off our game and show off the beauty of our sport. “Every one of these things that we’re doing is with the fan in mind and trying to give the fan the best possible experience and engage them as long as possible.” And with the official launch now less than a month away, fans have been shown what to expect through the help of Woods. Follow us on X for the best and latest in sports news The new step comes at an important time for the PGA Tour, with the circuit in negotiations with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) over ending their fallout with LIV Golf. Following a shock framework agreement in June 2023, the PGA Tour and PIF have been locked in negotiations. Over 18 months on, an official deal is yet to be signed off, but it appears those around the negotiation table have made significant progress. Earlier this month, a report from Bloomberg claimed that PIF was set to take a six percent share in the Tour's for-profit entity, PGA Tour Enterprises. The proposed deal will continue the ongoing investment being pumped into PGA Tour Enterprises after an agreement worth up to $3 billion was reached with Strategic Sports Group (SSG) earlier this year. It remains to be seen what this boardroom decision will mean on the course. As things stand, any PGA Tour player who competes on the LIV setup is banned from playing on the American-based circuit. This has seen the likes of Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka all lose their PGA Tour playing rights in recent years.

Attorney Devin Stone, better known as popular YouTuber Legal Eagle, announced Wednesday that he’s filed a lawsuit against the FBI and the DOJ to make public their findings in the federal criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump. The 78-year-old politician was under investigation for election interference and illegally handling classified documents before he was elected to a second term as president last month. Special Counsel Jack Smith moved to drop the cases against Trump following that win, citing a Justice Department policy that would prohibit continuing the prosecutions once Trump takes office. Smith reportedly plans to leave his position before Trump returns to power, but intends to first finish his work, according to the New York Times. Trump has indicated that government employees who investigated him will be replaced with loyalists after he’s inaugurated next month. He’s nominated former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ and ultra-MAGA loyalist Kash Patel to head the FBI. The latter reportedly published a book last year containing an “enemies list” of people he feels wronged Trump and could suffer the consequences. Given that, Stone says he feels an urgency to immediately obtain records alleging illegal activity involving the 47th president. “There’s already an effort underway to rewrite history and deny reality,” Stone said on his YouTube channel Wednesday. “That’s why it’s critically important to act now to capture the complete record of the federal prosecutions before the records are destroyed, altered or God knows what the new administration will do with them.” Stone said he filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents pertaining to the investigations of the president-elect and that his request was illegally declined, so he responded with a lawsuit. “If this lawsuit is successful, then the American public may finally have the answers to many of the unanswered questions about the Donald Trump investigations,” Stone said. One of those mysteries, according to Stone, is the names of possible unidentified co-conspirators in Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and hoard sensitive national security documents. Stone also wants to know if Trump kept classified records anywhere other than his Mar-a-Lago estate, where investigators said they recovered boxes of printed information that shouldn’t have been there in 2022. Trump is accused of removing 300 classified documents after exiting the White House in January 2021.Jefferson keeps seeing double as Vikings aim to stay focused on overall offensive productionRussia won’t fine VPN users – media regulatorLegal authorities generally suggest that the ruling was sound and followed the law.
