Getty Images US comedian Bill Cosby has left prison hours after his sexual assault conviction was overturned by Pennsylvania's Supreme Court. The judges said there had been a "process violation" by the prosecution, but admitted their ruling was unusual. Mr Cosby, 83, served more than two years of a three to 10-year sentence at a state prison near Philadelphia. In 2018 he was found guilty of drugging and molesting ex-basketball player Andrea Constand. Mr Cosby is best known for starring in the 1980s TV series The Cosby Show and was once known as "America's Dad". Dozens of women have publicly accused Mr Cosby of sexual assault, but he was only tried criminally for the incident against Ms Constand. His conviction in 2018 was widely seen as a landmark moment in the #MeToo movement. In a verdict issued on Wednesday, Pennsylvania's highest court found there was a "process violation" because Mr Cosby's lawyer...

Getty Images The NHS has been given the green light to start planning a Covid vaccine booster programme in the UK ahead of this winter. A bigger flu season than normal is expected, meaning extra protection against Covid is likely to be needed. More than 30 million of the most vulnerable should receive a third dose, vaccine experts are advising. They will include all adults aged 50 and over, and anyone younger who qualifies for a flu jab. Health service bosses had previously said they needed lots of warning of an autumn Covid-19 booster rollout in order to plan the logistics alongside vaccinating millions of people against flu. Interim advice from the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) is that boosters will help maintain protection against Covid-19 and new variants for those most at risk, before winter comes. How many people have been vaccinated so far? Can you get your vaccine without an appointment? Do you still need to se...

Amid a record number of job openings, Americans are taking their time looking for work, with only about 10% of job seekers actively searching for a new gig. And the top reason unemployed people are hesitant to join the workforce is fear of contracting COVID-19. Some also say a financial cushion has bought them the gift of time in their job search. That’s according to a survey of 5,000 U.S. adults conducted May 26 through June 3 by the job-listing website Indeed. The survey included both unemployed people and people who have a job. The survey comes as more than 9 million jobs sit unfilled in the U.S., and a record number of workers are quitting, according to the most recent figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.   Meanwhile, as businesses say they can’t find enough workers, Republican governors in several states have cut the enhanced unemployment benefits that went into effect when the U.S. was first in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic.  The hope is that endi...

The FA are in talks with UEFA to try to sell their ticket allocation for Saturday's Euro 2020 quarter-final to England fans based in Italy. After an historic win against Germany, England will take on Ukraine in Rome. Covid travel restrictions mean the FA has already decided not to sell tickets through their normal channels . However, UK nationals living in Europe are able to travel without quarantining as long as they have proof of full vaccination or a negative test. The FA has been allocated 2,560 tickets for Saturday's match, which equates to 16% of the agreed capacity of 16,000 at the Stadio Olimpico. Current rules state that UK passengers travelling to Italy must provide proof of a negative coronavirus test taken 48 hours before travelling and then isolate for five days. On Tuesday evening, there were jubilant scenes at Wembley as Gareth Southgate's side beat Germany 2-0 in front of 41,973 fans, while a peak TV audience of 20.6...

PA Media Education Secretary Gavin Williamson says he wants the school "bubble" system in England removed as soon as possible, as rising numbers of pupils are being sent home to isolate. This could happen alongside the next step of the roadmap for unlocking the country from the pandemic, he told MPs. But Labour warned that schools needed immediate action to avoid "chaos" in the last weeks of term. Official figures this week showed over 375,000 children have been sent home. A Downing Street spokesman declined to say whether bubbles would be scrapped, either in September or as part of changes to restrictions potentially from 19 July. Head teachers' leader Paul Whiteman said schools needed to be told how "alternative arrangements would work". On Wednesday the UK reported another 26,068 Covid-19 cases - the highest daily figure since January 29. Another 14 deaths within 28 days of a positive test were also report...
