Labour are demanding a probe into Covid-19 deaths in care homes, saying staff and residents had been tragically let down. The party’s deputy leader Angela Rayner called for “some investigation”, citing figures showing there are “10,000 unaccounted for deaths” in the sector.

It came as the Government admitted there were “big lessons” to be learned from the care home crisis and acknowledged the situation remained a “challenge”.

Meanwhile it emerged Health Secretary Matt Hancock failed to hold a single face-to-face meeting with care home bosses in the weeks leading up to the lockdown.

The revelation came despite him last week saying the Government had “tried to throw a protective ring around our care homes” from the start.

Mapping the trucker convoy in Ottawa: ‘no one’s leaving here’

so-called “freedom convoy” that has snarled downtown Ottawa streets is widening its grip on the city, sprawling out in new, smaller encampments scattered around town.And while the police say they’ve negotiated movement of some trucks around the city, there are protesters in various encampments who continue to dig in their heels.“If trucks leave here, they’re going out on a convoy. They’re going to join the rest of the trucks,” said John Bancroft, a coordinator for the encampment site set up on Coventry Road — a short drive from downtown Ottawa.“No one’s leaving here until the mandates are lifted.” Trudeau calls on all parties to denounce ‘illegal’ trucker occupations, blockades But in the days since, that setup has shifted — and Global News has created a map of what the convoy protest’s encampments look like now.The original location of the convoy, Wellington Street, remains lined with trucks and regular vehicles.

Yet he was finally outpaced in the final and finished third behind American Nick Baumgartner and Italy’s Omar Visintin.That meant O’Dine lost the advantage she had in the quarterfinals and semifinals, as the women started staggered depending on the speed of their teammates.O’Dine battled for second position but fell halfway through her run after colliding with Italy’s Caterina Carpano, yet the Canadian still managed to cross in third position.Baumgartner’s teammate Lindsey Jacobellis brought home her second gold for the U.S.
