Coronavirus: Almost entire private health industry being signed over to NHS

Barcelona forward Ousmane Dembele was booed by his own fans every time he touched the ball against Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday.The Frenchman's torrid spell at the Nou Camp - which has been plagued by injuries and mishaps - appears to have reached its nadir with supporters furious with the 24-year-old for recently rejecting a contract extension.He was greeted by a cacophony of jeers as he came off the bench to make his first appearance for the club in 2022, during what was Barcelona's first Europa League match since 2004, and the bitter home crowd refused to let up all night.Dembele entered the fray with 25 minutes remaining, shortly after Ferran Torres had cancelled out Piotr Zielinski's opener for the visitors, though perhaps unsurprisingly he failed to make any significant impact on the game.Dembele's contract expires in the summer, meaning he'll be able to leave the club on a free transfer at the end of the season.Desperate to avoid that, Barcelona chiefs have been trying to tie the former Dortmund man down to a new deal all season and even insisted the player would be sold in January if he failed to agree an extension by then - but no such move materialised.Would you like to see Ousmane Dembele in the Premier League? Let us know which club you think he'd be most suited to in the comments section...He was linked to Chelsea, which would have seen him reunited with former manager Thomas Tuchel, as well as to Paris Saint Germain, but Dembele opted to stay put and see out the remainder of his £210,000-a-week contract in Catalonia.Barcelona paid a whopping £130 million to bring Dembele to the club in 2017 following an impressive breakthrough season in the Bundesliga, though he's spent just as much time on the

Holidaymakers will go to extreme lengths to get the perfect travel selfie – including handing their expensive phone over to strangers, and taking pictures with wild animals.A study of 2,000 adults who travel abroad found nearly one in ten of those who take pictures have even gone as far as standing on a cliff edge to get the perfect pic.Others have paid for extra luggage allowance so they can take more “props” or multiple outfits, have eaten food they didn’t really like, or missed a train or bus.It also emerged more than half (51 percent) can’t imagine not taking pictures on holiday, with 21 percent considering travel selfies to be “mandatory”.And the typical adult will take 14 selfies a day while on holiday – uploading seven images a week onto social media.A spokesman for telecommunications company Virgin Media O2, which commissioned the research, said: “After nearly two years of travel being disrupted by Covid, things are looking brighter for holidaymakers this year.“Whether booking a city break in spring or hitting the beach this summer, our social feeds are set to be full of sea, sunsets and ski slopes throughout the year.“The ease and convenience of inclusive EU roaming means customers are able to keep connected on holiday without the concern of roaming charges.”The study also found natural scenery, glorious sunsets and posing on the beaches are the more favourable selfies taken by travellers.Of those who take pictures, 77 percent do so simply for the memories – but 17 percent want to impress their followers on social media.And 43 percent plan to post good holiday pictures online – with 36 percent posting more pics of their holiday activities than they do when they’re at home.But posting pictures online while on

BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.In essence, the scandal began when members of the public were invited to call a premium-rate phone number to enter various competitions or cast their votes on reality TV shows - and encouragement to do so continued even after the potential winners had been chosen.ITV also admitted to overcharging its viewers via the red button services offered during series three of The X Factor.Things kicked off in February 2007, when The Mail on Sunday received leaked emails regarding Richard and Judy’s show, which revealed the You Say We Pay segment of the show saw its cut-off happen just nine minutes into the programme.Telephone service provider Eckoh would email production company Cactus TV a list of 24 potential winners, from which one would be chosen.

Manchester United, but he also had a few flops during his time.Although Ferguson had some of the greats in goal over his spell at United, for some reason every goalkeeper was prone to an iconic howler at Old Trafford, with Roy Carroll, Fabien Barthez and David De Gea amongst some of the shot-stoppers to embarrass themselves.One of the most famous incidents of all though, was when Massimo Taibi allowed Matt Le Tissier's shot to squeeze through his legs while his face planted into the ground, but by the time he picked himself up, the ball was in the net.Despite flopping at United, the goalkeeper who has just turned 52, claimed that it was his decision to leave United, and that Ferguson begged him to stay.Taibi joined United in 1999 for £4.5million after Peter Schmeichel left Old Trafford, but the Italian soon returned to his homeland the following year after making just four appearances for the first team.The goalkeeper revealed that it was a family issue causing him major issues, and that he had to return to Italy, but admitted that Ferguson was desperate to see him stay at the club. Unfortunately for Talibi, one of those four games included the howler against Southampton, but the Italian opened up about his time at United."Of course, it was 100% my decision to leave Manchester United.

Care leaders have branded Boris Johnson’s comments a “real slap in the face” after he suggested “too many” care homes did not properly follow procedures during the coronavirus pandemic.But Downing Street has declined to apologise, reiterating that care homes have done “a brilliant job”.The Prime Minister’s remarks came after he was asked what he made of NHS chief executive Sir Simon Stevens’ desire to see plans to adequately fund the adult social care sector within a year.“One of the things the crisis has shown is we need to think about how we organise our social care package better and how we make sure we look after people better who are in social care,” he said.“We discovered too many care homes didn’t really follow the procedures in the
