Carlo Mosca, 47, has been accused of giving patients lethal doses of anaesthetics (Picture: Getty Images)A doctor in Italy has been arrested after claims he killed two coronavirus patients to ‘free up beds’ at the height of the pandemic. Carlo Mosca, 47, has been accused of giving 61-year-old Natale Bassi and 80-year-old Angelo Paletti lethal doses of anaesthetics at Montichiari Hospital near Brescia. The incident allegedly took place in March last year, when Italy hit the headlines for shocking pictures which showed Covid-19 patients lining hospital corridors. Police are also investigating another three deaths after reports Mosca altered the medical records of patients who died – and he has now been put under house arrest at his home in Mantua. He denies the charges against hi

The Norway international had appeared destined to return to Real Sociedad after spending the whole of the last campaign with the Basque club, but Arsenal’s offer proved too tempting to resist. Mikel Arteta has spent the majority of the January transfer window trimming a bloated squad which he had branded ‘unmanageable’. Already the Spaniard has sanctioned the departures of Sead Kolasinac, William Saliba, Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mesut Ozil. ‘It’s great that we’ve secured Martin to come to us until the end of the season. Martin is of course a player that we all k
Read MoreAmber Portwood is once again single. And guys around the world are probably hoping she doesn't want to mingle. Not after her history of ugly break-ups and abuse, mostly emotional, but also physical on at least one occasion. On Tuesday night's season premiere of Teen Mom OG, Portwood talked about the challenge she was facing with her Belgian boyfriend, Dimitri, while they were continents apart. The troubled star told MTV producer Townsend that Dimitri "has been calling me nonstop" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Why was that scary? "I need to be aware of this dynamic because I've been in controlling relationships before," she said. "He's possessive from a distance, he needs to know what I'm doing all day every day." As total luck would have it... mere minutes later...
Read MoreAuschwitz was liberated 76 years ago today (Picture: Galerie Bilderwelt/Getty Images) On January 27, 1945, a few months before the end of World War Two, Russian soldiers freed thousands of starving and dangerously ill prisoners in the Auschwitz concentration camp in south-west Poland. Auschwitz was the largest of the Nazi camp systems used during the Holocaust and was made up of forced labour camps, a concentration camp and a killing centre. The Nazis had fled just a few days before the liberation, forcing around 60,000 prisoners to walk to other camps, and leaving behind the few thousand of those who were too ill to walk.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield caught talking about four-poster beds off-camera in unfortunate mishap
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were caught making an unfortunate gaffe on today’s This Morning when they were filmed discussing four-poster beds… unaware that the cameras were rolling. Earlier on the show, Holly and Phillip were joined by Matthew Wright and LBC’s Nick Ferrari, where they discussed the news that Netflix’s Bridgerton has inspired Brits to buy four-poster beds in an attempt to recreate the period drama’s steamy scenes. It appears that the topic of conversation was of particular interest to the ITV talk show’s co-presenters, as they continued discussing it during the commercial break. When the cameras returned to the st

The Nazis had blown up parts of the site, where at least 1.1 million people had died, 90% of them Jewish – but thousands of prisoners remained. Today, Auschwitz stands largely untouched – the abandoned huts and barbed wire fences remain in mute testimony to some of the worst crimes in human history. The camps have been left as they were found in 1945, as a monument to the Nazi atrocities. (Pictures: Getty)Hundreds of corpses were strewn over the site, as well as thousands of prisoners, abandoned because they were too ill or weak for the ‘death march’ into...

Read MoreXbox is back in business (pic: Microsoft)The Xbox Series X and S may not have sold more consoles than the PS5 but Microsoft is already outpacing Sony when it comes to subscriptions. A new console war may now be in full flow, but it will have to remain a war of words as there’s no way to compare sales figures, since Microsoft stopped releasing them last generation. They have said that the Xbox Series X/S is ‘the most successful in Microsoft’s history’ but as good news as that is for them what really matters is that they now have more than 18 million Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Game Pass is the future of Xbox, especially once it can be played on any device via streaming, and the fact that Microsoft are adding 1 million subscribers per month is the most positive news they’ve had in...

Following Frank Lampard’s sacking earlier this week, Tuchel has been named as Chelsea’s new manager and the 47-year-old took charge of his first training session on Tuesday evening. During his time at Bayern Munich, Guardiola came up against Tuchel who has managed both Mainz and Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

‘Fantastic manager’ – What Christian Pulisic, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp have said about new Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel
A host of players, pundits and managers have rated new Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel (Pictures: Getty)Thomas Tuchel was confirmed as the new Chelsea manager on Tuesday, with the former PSG and Borussia Dortmund boss taking over from club legend Frank Lampard at Stamford Bridge. Roman Abramovich pulled the plug on Lampard at the start of the week following an alarming run of five defeats from eight games. Chelsea climbed to the top of the Premier League table in early December but Lampard leaves with the club sitting ninth, six points adrift of the top-four places. A title push is almost certainly beyond the Blues at this point, so Tuchel’s main objective over the next four months will be to secure Champions League football.
