Not so much a biased article as displaying how biased advertising and algorithms were used via Facebook in an attempt to deter a large part of the American population from voting in the 2016 election campaign.
Don't trust Facebook with your information!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Channel 4 News has exclusively obtained a vast cache of data used by Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign on almost 200 million American voters.

It reveals that 3.5 million Black Americans were categorised by Donald Trump's campaign as 'Deterrence' - voters they wanted to stay home on election day.

Tonight, civil rights campaigners said the evidence amounted to a new form of voter "suppression" and called on Facebook to disclose ads and targeting information that has never been made public.

The 'Deterrence' project can be revealed after Channel 4 News obtained the database used by Trump's digital campaign team - credited with helping deliver his shock victory to become president four years ago.

Watch Part 2 of the #DetteringDemocracy investigation:
How Trump campaign targets millions of white voters - and activates fears over rioting.

Vast in scale, it contains details on almost 200 million Americans, among more than 5,000 files, which together amass almost 5 terabytes of data - making it one of the biggest leaks in history.

It reveals not only the huge amounts of data held on every individual voter, but how that data was used and manipulated by models and algorithms.

In 16 key battleground states, millions of Americans were separated by an algorithm into one of eight categories, also described as 'audiences', so they could then be targeted with tailored ads on Facebook and other platforms.

One of the categories was named 'Deterrence', which was later described publicly by Trump's chief data scientist as containing people that the campaign "hope don't show up to vote".

Analysis by Channel 4 News shows Black Americans - historically a community targeted with voter suppression tactics - were disproportionately marked 'Deterrence' by the 2016 campaign.

In total, 3.5 million Black Americans were marked 'Deterrence'.

In Georgia, despite Black people constituting 32% of the population, they made up 61% of the 'Deterrence' category. In North Carolina, Black people are 22% of the population but were 46% of 'Deterrence'. In Wisconsin, Black people constitute just 5.4% of the population but made up 17% of 'Deterrence'.

The disproportionate categorising of Black Americans for 'Deterrence' is seen across the US. Overall, people of colour labelled as Black, Hispanic, Asian and 'Other' groups made up 54% of the 'Deterrence' category. In contrast, other categories of voters the campaign wished to attract were overwhelmingly white.

The 2016 campaign preceded the first fall in Black turnout in 20 years and allowed Donald Trump to take shock victories in key states like Wisconsin and Michigan by wafer-thin margins, reaching the White House despite losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton.

Trump's digital campaign, called 'Project Alamo' and based in San Antonio, Texas, involved a team from the now defunct British company Cambridge Analytica, working with a team from the Republican National Committee. Two senior members of the Cambridge Analytica team are working on the Trump 2020 campaign.

Cambridge Analytica collapsed after investigations by Channel 4 News, The Observer and the New York Times in 2018.

Facebook is facing calls to ban political advertising, following an international backlash over the use of its platform to spread misinformation, disinformation, and suppression during election campaigns.

The Trump campaign spent £44 million on Facebook ads alone during 2016, posting almost six million different versions of highly targeted messages that were pumped directly into the feeds of target voters across America, helped by a Facebook employee embedded within the Trump campaign.

But many of the ads were so called 'dark posts', which could vanish from recipients' feeds once a campaign stopped paying for them.

It means no complete public record exists of the ads posted on Facebook during the 2016 campaign or the audience lists used to target voters. The platform offered no 'Ad Library' at the time.

Without Facebook or the campaign itself revealing the information, it means it's not possible to ascertain exactly how potential voters in the 'Deterrence' group may have been targeted on Facebook.

The Trump campaign itself has categorically stated that it did not target African Americans.

Brad Parscale, the campaign's 2016 digital director told PBS Frontline: "I would say I'm nearly 100 percent sure we did not run any campaigns that targeted even African Americans."

But Channel 4 News has uncovered evidence that the campaign did target Black voters with negative ads designed to crush Hillary Clinton's turnout.

These included videos featuring Hillary Clinton referring to Black youths as "super predators" which aired on television 402 times in October 2016 and received millions of views on Facebook.

In one confidential document seen by Channel 4 News, Cambridge Analytica admitted the Trump campaign did target "AA" (African Americans) with what it called the "Predators video" - spending $55,000 USD in the state of Georgia alone.

Reacting to the Channel 4 News revelations, Jamal Watkins, vice president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) branded it a modern-day suppression campaign, using data and digital technology to keep Black voters at home.

He said: "The thing that's shocking slash troubling about this is that there's this category of suppression. That 'Deterrence' part. So, we use data - similar to voter file data - but it's to motivate, persuade and encourage folks to participate. We don't use the data to say who can we deter and keep at home. That just seems, fundamentally, it's a shift from the notion of democracy.

"It's not 'may the best candidate win' at that point it's 'may the best well-funded machine suppress voters and keep them at home thereby rigging the election so that someone can win'."

He added: "I don't believe Facebook has fully disclosed their role, and fully disclosed the types of ads that were run, who was involved and literally how they may have been embedded in, say, the Trump campaign to make this all come to life.

"Facebook is a very profitable platform. It reaches billions of folks every day. It doesn't need this kind of money. If it were to monitor and check these suppressive ads and say this is not the platform for this type of misinformation disinformation suppression tactics, Mark Zuckerberg would still live well, and eat well."

Today, a Facebook spokesperson said: "Since 2016, elections have changed and so has Facebook - what happened with Cambridge Analytica couldn't happen today. We have 35,000 people working to ensure the integrity of our platform, created a political ads library... and have protected more than 200 elections worldwide. We also have rules prohibiting voter suppression and are running the largest voter information campaign in American history."

The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and the White House did not provide any comment to Channel 4 News prior to broadcast.

About our statistics

The Trussell Trust statistics are a measure of volume - they show the number of people to whom The Trussell Trust foodbanks have given three days' emergency food. These are not necessarily unique users.

For example, if a family of three was referred to a foodbank twice in one year, this would count as six people on the system, because someone received three days' emergency food six times. However, if a family of three were only referred to a foodbank once, this would count as three.

On average, people need two foodbank vouchers in a year. Our figures have always been reported in this way.

The big idea

In the workplace, women are now as good as men when it comes to computing performance, but there is still a gender gap when it comes to confidence, according to our new research.

As professors of business, we studied how well men and women in midlevel business jobs performed on computing tasks. We also asked them to rate how they thought they did.

Study participants were randomly assigned basic, intermediate or advanced problems on laptops, tablets or mobile devices, while seated, standing or walking slowly.

We found no difference in the performance between men and women in the total number of questions answered correctly or the time taken to answer the questions. In only one scenario did men perform slightly better - while completing a basic task, on a tablet, while seated (76.3% correct for men versus 64% correct for women). Otherwise, women and men performed equally.

There was a statistically significant difference, however, in how men and women rated their own performance. Women were less confident of their answers in all scenarios - 3.5 for women versus 3.88 for men on a scale of 1 to 5 - despite having performed equally to men in all but one.

Why it matters

With a rapid expansion of employment in STEM areas, the shortage of qualified labor has risen to the level of national importance. Yet the proportion of women in STEM careers remains around 24% even though women make up almost 50% of the overall workforce. The causes of this gender gap are often attributed to cultural and institutional biases against women in technology fields, and governments and other institutions have made significant efforts to reduce this gap.

What still isn't known

No one knows for sure why women with demonstrably the same computing skills as men are less confident. This lack of confidence has been found in other STEM-related areas. For example, one study of university students found that among men and women who performed equally well in mathematics courses, women perceived themselves to be significantly worse at math than their male counterparts. Another study that focused on the adoption of mobile learning technology shows, while the gender gap has all but disappeared, there is still a significant gap when it comes to how women perceive their confidence with this technology versus how men perceive it. Some research found that technical skills were more consistently stereotyped by both men and women than were nontechnical skills. Further research is needed to explore the reasons for lack of female confidence so that effective mitigation approaches can be put in place.

What's next

Many have made the case that companies need better participation of women in the STEM workforce for greater innovation and productivity. These efforts have had some success, but other avenues are needed to promote STEM careers to women and help them to believe in their abilities.

To address this issue, secondary schools and universities are promoting computing careers to young women, while tech companies have made concerted efforts to promote and hire more women for high-profile jobs involving technology.

We will continue to work on understanding how to narrow the gender gap and explore ways to increase female participation in computer fields.

All together, about 1 in 5 Americans with a strong political affiliation says they are quite willing to endorse violence if the other party wins the presidency. (The surveys by YouGov and the Voter Study Group had margins of error ranging from 1.5 to 3 percentage points. The surveys by Nationscape had margins of error of 2 and 2.1 percentage points.)

How seriously should we take these expressions of violence? Both history and social psychology warn us to take them very seriously. In Europe in the 1920s and 1930s, a rising tide of armed street mobilization and of violent clashes between rival partisans ravaged fragile democratic cultures, bullied and marginalized moderate forces, and gave rising autocrats an excuse to seize emergency powers. Some of us who've studied the rise of authoritarians see strong parallels between that period of European history and factors at work in America today.

However, expressing approval of partisan violence does not mean someone is ready to pick up a gun. The steps from attitudes to actions are prohibitive for all but a tiny minority because of the legal, social, and physical risks of acting violently.

But even a shift of 1 percent in these surveys would represent the views of over a million Americans. Furthermore, two of us have found in our research that violent events tend to increase public approval of political violence-potentially creating a vicious cycle even if violence is sparked in only a few spots.

Viewed in this light, the events of this summer are especially worrying. Competing protesters from the right and left have clashed violently in Portland, Ore.; Kenosha, Wis.; and Louisville. Left-wing extremists have repeatedly laid siege to federal buildings in Portland, and on several occasions, armed right-wing protesters entered the State Capitol in Michigan.

Democrats have interpreted Trump's remarks and tweets as legitimizing or even encouraging violence by his supporters-fears only intensified by the president's comments during this week's debate urging the Proud Boys, a misogynistic white supremacist group that has been active in recent street protests, to "stand back and stand by."

Republicans, for their part, interpreted Joe Biden's rhetorical question in a recent speech, "Does anyone believe there will be less violence in America if Donald Trump is reelected?" as a veiled threat of violence should Biden lose.

Moreover, the notable increase in violent views in the past year continues a worrisome trend. Between 2017 and 2019, our YouGov survey data showed a marked 9-point increase in the percentage of partisans who believe it would be at least "a little bit" justified for their own party to use violence to advance their political goals today.

What should leaders do? No lesson in the study of democratic breakdowns rings more clearly than that political leaders play the central role in fanning-or containing-political polarization and extremism. From Germany and Italy in interwar Europe to Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s, the rhetoric and tactics of leading politicians shaped the fate of democracies in crisis.

Recent research on the United States reaffirms this timeless truth: Leaders play an essential role in fueling the fire or extinguishing the flames of violence among their followers. Preliminary studies show that messages from Biden or Trump denouncing all violence can reduce mass approval of violence.

Everyone in a position of leadership in a democracy-whether in a neighborhood organization, a municipality, a political party, the Congress or the White House-has an obligation to renounce violence and explicitly dissuade their followers from turning to violent tactics or threats. Further, political leaders have a solemn responsibility to uphold and urge their followers to adhere to the essential norms of democracy, including the principles that the voters should freely decide who shall rule, and all valid votes should be counted toward that decision.

However, we fear we are now headed into such a severe downward spiral of partisan polarization that we cannot rely on the candidates and campaigns to pull us out of it.

In this context, any one of several possible scenarios risks triggering unprecedented post-election violence. Biden could surge from behind on Election Night to win on the strength of mail-in ballots that President Trump has already dismissed as fraud-ridden, prompting Trump's supporters to feel the election was stolen from him. Should some Republican-controlled legislatures seek to throw out mail-in ballots wholesale and give their states' Electoral College votes to Trump regardless of the final vote count, Democrats (and others) would be outraged. There could also be intense anger on the left if Trump wins reelection by once again losing the popular vote but winning by narrow margins in states that give him an Electoral College victory. Congress-itself so polarized-could be hard-pressed to ensure a widely legitimate outcome on its own.

The best hope now to tamp down support for this potential political violence is to establish an independent, bipartisan third force-a broad commission of distinguished leaders and democratic elders of both parties and of civil society. Its mission would be to reaffirm and defend our democratic norms, especially the critical principles that every valid vote should be counted and that political violence is never justified in the United States. Congress should immediately appoint such a commission.

We do not pull this alarm lightly. The decisions we make over the next few months are hugely consequential. If we fall into a cycle of violence, the consequences for America's future as a democracy will be dire.

THE NUMBER of coronavirus patients receiving treatment in intensive care units has soared by 700 per cent, a top doctor has warned.
Despite the rise in admissions, deaths still remain low compared to what they were at the peak of the pandemic and yesterday the UK reported 70 new deaths and 14,162 new cases.

⚠️ Read our coronavirus live blog for the latest news & updates

At the peak of the pandemic on April 8, 1,445 deaths were reported, a stark contrast to the levels being seen today.

Helen Stokes-Lampard, chairwoman of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges has urged people to stick to local lockdown measures and said "indications are not looking good".

Speaking to BBC Breakfast Prof Stoke-Lampard said transmission of the virus could "get out of control".

"We will be getting more data later today but all of the indications are not looking good.

"In the last month alone we have gone from a few hundred a people a day in hospital with coronavirus, to thousands.

"Right now we have got over 3,100 people in hospital with coronavirus around the UK.

"Actually 500 of those are in ITU beds. That's really worrying.

"A month ago we only had 60 people in the whole of the UK in ITU beds. So we are seeing a very worrying trend at the moment."

Prof Stokes-Lampard said as cases go up, hospital admissions will follow.

"A few weeks after that unfortunately intensive care [use] goes up and deaths go up", she added.

She also said that the virus "has no boundaries".

"We need to learn its rules and work with it, rather than trying to expect it to conform to the way that we want to live."

Concerns have previously been raised by experts who claimed that the NHS would not be able to cope with a second wave which coincides with the winter months and the flu season.

Prof Stokes-Lampard said that "right now the NHS can cope", but highlighted that there are a few hospitals that are "really struggling".

"The NHS has learned a lot and is doing remarkably, at the same time as trying to restore services and clear as much of the backlog as we can from all those hundreds and thousands and possibly millions of people waiting for treatment.

"But if we are having to dedicate a much greater proportion of our resources to Covid care that means much less resource available for the other things we want to do."

During the pandemic referrals for cancer dropped and the amount of people willing to visit their GP also dropped.

Prof Stokes-Lampard said people shouldn't sit on worrying symptoms and said that the NHS would prioritise people in need of urgent care.

She added: "We are open for business and always have been.

"As a society, as a population, we all have a responsibility to do our best to reduce transmission because if this gets out of control, as we fear it is - and we are at that tipping point right now.

"This isn't a joke, this isn't scaremongering."

It was revealed today that ten million Brits in the North of England could be hit by further coronavirus restrictions as cases continue to soar in areas such as Manchester.

This would include shutting pubs and restaurants under a new three tier lockdown code, which Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to reveal next week.

Commenting on various regional lockdown rules, Prof Stokes-Lampard said that variation in rules is "difficult and confusing".

She added: "If we get simple messages - you're in category A, B or C or red, amber or green - that will help because I think consistency is so important."

The elderly and vulnerable have been the focus when it comes to protection against the virus and Prof Stokes-Lampard said people should have "safe" social contact.

"If it has got to the point where local lockdowns are essential, please stick with them.

"I'm sorry, I don't like it any more than anybody else, but this is for the good of us all. Please let's protect our vulnerable this winter."

This was published in The Sun, The Star and The Telegraph. It claims that pubs and restaurants have only made a 3% contribution to new COVID-19 cases and condemns the tougher restrictions placed on them, but it uses ARI data which isn’t representative of all new cases.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Pubs, bars and restaurants were linked to less than 3% of recent Covid-19 infections investigated by Public Health England, it has emerged.

Official data shows the hospitality industry was linked to only a small proportion of cases in the week before the 10pm curfew was announced.

But schools and care homes accounted for more than two thirds of all positive coronavirus tests.

The Public Health England weekly figures show the hospitality industry made up 22 out of 772 investigated cases in the week leading up to September 20, the Sun reports.

It comes amid a fierce debate over how effective the strict curfew - which forces all pubs and restaurants to close by 10pm - actually is.

Scenes emerged over the weekend of huge crowds gathering in the streets across the country at closing time.

Concerns have been raised over the way it forces everyone to leave venues at the same time.

Critics say the rule is leaving them to cram onto public transport and drink at house parties instead, fuelling the risk of the disease spreading.

Sacha Lord, night-time adviser for Greater Manchester, blasted it as "ill-thought out" and shambolic.

He told the Telegraph: "If we had been consulted, we could have found ways to prevent this.

"I really hope the Government does a U-turn because it's going to escalate.

"It's too big an issue to police."

But Care Minister Helen Whately said it was up to revellers to consider the risk to others when leaving boozers.

She told Times Radio: "I would ask those who are coming out of pubs and clubs at 10 o'clock and want to be out partying just to think about the potential consequences of what they are doing.

"If you are young and fit you may be thinking, 'well if I get Covid it doesn't matter'.

"You may well pass it on to somebody else. So you may be putting someone else at risk."

Ministers are reportedly drawing up emergency plans to close all pubs and restaurants across the north of England and London to combat a second wave of the virus.

They would be shut for two weeks in an attempt to slow the spread of the disease.

A fish and chip shop owned and run by a husband and wife team in Exmouth in Devon, England has been crowned the best fish and chip shop in the 2019 National Fish and Chip Awards.

Krispies fish and chips, in the south-west, was crowned with the hotly coveted title, based on the "business's sustainability credentials, menu innovation, its ability to cater for special dietary requirements and customer service and the quality of the product."

The 20-year-old business in the west of England scooped the prize above Captain's Fish and Chips in Hertfordshire and Low's Traditional Fish & Chips in Aberdeenshire who took second and third prize respectively.

Only one London based fish and chippie made the top ten, meaning there are plenty of reasons to be tempted out of the capital in a pilgrimage of the best fish and chips the country has to offer.

The number of people admitted to hospital with coronavirus has jumped by a quarter in England in a day.

There were 478 people admitted to hospital on Sunday - the largest daily figure since early June - up from 386.

Nearly 2,800 patients are in hospital with Covid in England, compared with over 17,000 at the epidemic's peak.

There were no admissions in Northern Ireland, while the data for Scotland is not yet available for Sunday, and Wales counts cases differently.

More than two-thirds of the new admissions in England (334) were in the North West, North East and Yorkshire, according to the government's coronavirus dashboard.
Covid hospital cases jump 25% in a day in England
As always, we should be cautious about reading too much into one day's change.

But of all the measurements of Covid, hospital admissions are perhaps the most reliable and they had been rising quite gradually before the jump on Sunday.

Sadly, we should expect cases to continue rising.

This is the time of year when emergency admissions for respiratory illness do go up.

In a normal year, we can expect 1,000 admissions a day for flu and respiratory viruses by December.

What we don't know is to what extent the normal illnesses are adding to this Covid total.

These new admissions mean about 3% of hospital beds are now occupied with Covid patients.

There are reports that hospitals, particularly in northern England, are very busy.

But elsewhere beds are free. The reduction in other services, from cancer care to routine operations, means bed occupancy levels are about a quarter lower than normal.

However, unions would point out that a shortage of staff means there are not always the doctors and nurses available to care for patients.

The government's latest figures show a total of 2,783 Covid-19 patients were in England's hospitals overnight on Monday - the highest daily total since 25 June.

And 478 new patients were admitted to hospital - the highest daily figure since 3 June.

The number of people admitted to hospital with Covid-19 on one day has jumped by nearly a quarter in England. There were 478 people admitted to hospital on Sunday - the largest daily figure since early June - up from 386. More than two-thirds of those were in the North West, North East and Yorkshire.

This website may be showing biased information but quite possibly not from any fault of their own, what i mean by this is that coronavirus is at large in America at the moment meaning alot of people are not voting currently, perhaps giving false stats online, and making the result seem up in the air until closer to the date of the election.

Joe Biden was elected president of the US, winning the battleground state of Pennsylvania to reach the 270 votes needed to secure a majority in the electoral college. Donald Trump rejected the outcome, saying his opponent was "rushing to falsely pose as the winner".

Mr Trump has won North Carolina. Georgia certified its result after a hand recount showed that Mr Biden had carreid the state by just over 12,000 votes.

Mr Biden also won Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona, according to race calls by the Associated Press. Mr Trump carried Florida, Texas, Ohio and Iowa.

Some states' counts have taken long to complete because of the large number of postal votes cast in the election. More than 100m Americans voted early or by post.

Control of the Senate came down to two Georgia elections that were decided in run-offs on January 5. In one of the two races, Democrat Raphael Warnock defeated the Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler. In the other race, Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff has a narrow lead over Republican incumbent David Perdue. If Republicans win either race, they will retain control of the Senate. If Democrats win both races, they will control an evenly-divided Senate through the casting vote of incoming vice-president Kamila Harris.

The Democrats have maintained control of House of Representatives with a reduced majority.

I feel that this article is biased as the writer does not state where they got any of their data, how they got their data and who participated. The article was written by a woman and many of the statistics are based on men vs women with the outcome usually being that men are at an advantage so I feel that this also could represent bias.

"Once you're caught in the grip of the system you are doomed," says the founder of a radically different approach to jailing young offenders.

Steve Chalke aims to stop a revolving door of criminality that at present sees 69% of young prisoners reoffending within a year of release.

He says the "19th Century, Dickensian" approach is "absolutely broken".

Instead he will lead England's first "secure school", opening near Rochester, Kent in 2022.

According to the Ministry of Justice's recent White Paper, this new template for cutting re-offending must be "schools with security, rather than prisons with education".

The proposed legislation will also allow a charity to run these new institutions - and the charity running the first secure school will be the Oasis group, headed by Mr Chalke.

"We have to move from a model of justice which is about retaliation to a model that's about resettlement and renewal," he says.

"And the only way of doing that is a psychologically-informed approach."

There will be a Scandinavian-style emphasis on therapy and education rather than metal doors and warders with bunches of keys - even though this will remain a secure jail with a perimeter wall.

"There are going to be bedrooms, not cells; a house, not a wing," says Mr Chalke.

He wants to use neuroscience rather than clanging steel doors and bars.

Toughened glass, thick wooden doors, electronic fobs rather than locks and keys can be as secure as steel bars, he argues, but with a different and less aggressive atmosphere.

There will be about 50 residents, divided into four houses, and he wants to move away from "retribution" and a system that "scares and intimidates".

Five crimes per reoffender

"So we lock people up in cells and behind bars and all the rest of it, leave them there for three, four or five years, let them go and then wonder why they've not got better," he says.

"When the public talk about the word 'secure', they think of bolts and bars and locks. Whereas, for a lot of young people, what they need is 'security'.

"I know kids who wish they could go to sleep tonight and feel secure that they won't be woken up by their dad beating up their mum or their mum having another alcoholic row. They want to sleep in security," says Mr Chalke, whose academy trust group runs more than 50 schools.

The starting point has been trying to break the pattern of reoffending - to end the cycle in which offenders enter the prison system as children and then are highly likely to return there as adults.

There's a cost in terms of the victims of crime - for the 69% who reoffend within a year of release, each young reoffender commits an average of five crimes.

For shorter times in custody, of six months or less, the reoffending rate is even higher at 77%.

And the reoffending rates for those leaving custody are much higher than for young people given cautions or non-custodial sentences.

Assaults

There is also a financial cost. A young offender institution costs £76,000 per inmate per year, a secure training centre place £160,000 and a secure children's home place £210,000 per year.

And House of Commons library figures show there were 269 assaults per month on average in young offender institutions.

Mr Chalke wants the secure school to turn the page on how young inmates are treated.

Not least because the challenge is changing.

There has been a rapid reduction in the number of under-18s in custody, down by more than two thirds since 2001, to a current total of about 860. In contrast almost 13,000 were given community sentences.

But Mr Chalke says those in the youth prison system are now a more hard-core group of serious offenders, often with complex psychological problems.

He wants to use the expertise of mental health services working with dangerous people in secure settings - and to use advances in neuroscience to address the impact of neglect and abuse.

Alongside the education and therapy inside, he wants to set up a much more effective safety net for when inmates are released - helping with accommodation and employment.

In trouble in a day

Mr Chalke tells the story of what he's trying to avoid - a 17 year old released from custody in London, being intercepted by their former gang and sent out as a drugs courier and getting stabbed in a dispute, all within a day.

But the secure school is being built on a troubled site - the former Medway secure training centre.

This was the subject of an undercover investigation by BBC Panorama and was later closed. It's also not far from the village of Borstal, which gave its name to a previous approach at youth justice.

Frances Crook of the Howard League for Penal Reform rejects the positive claims for the secure school - and said it is "not the answer".

She says it is just another in a long list of "reinventing ways of punishing children by locking them up - which always failed".

The prison reform organisation's chief executive said the problem was sending so many children to prison, rather than cosmetic changes to how they were treated.

Youth Justice Minister Lucy Frazer said secure schools would be "vital" in efforts to divert children away from crime.

She said the overall number of offences committed by children has fallen - and that "fewer young people are in custody than ever before".

"However, those who remain are now much more likely to have a complex mix of problems, including persistent absence from school, mental health issues and family problems," said the minister.

Coronavirus: Rise in cases 'may be levelling off' in England, ONS data suggests

# data[].attributes.body
There is bias in the data due to the lack of extensive testing, only 300,000 randomly selected people were swabbed. The figures do not include people staying in hospitals or care homes. The headline is unreliable as once you read through the article it is stated there is 'limited evidence' to support the claims and they 'urged caution over the figures'.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
There is "some limited evidence" that the recent sharp increase in new coronavirus cases in England is levelling off, the UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) has said.

New cases of COVID-19 in England were around 8,400 per day in the latest week up to 24 September - down from around 9,600 per day during the previous week, an ONS estimate said.

"There is some limited evidence that the incidence rate may be levelling off following steep increases during August and September," the agency said.

"However the wide credible intervals mean it is too early to say."

The figures do not include people staying in hospitals or care homes.

According to the survey, there is evidence of higher infection rates in the North West and North East, along with Yorkshire and the Humber and London.

Katherine Kent, co-head of analysis for the COVID-19 Infection Survey, urged caution over the figures.

"While the evidence suggests that the increase in new cases may be levelling off after a sharp rise in August and September, it is too early to be certain at this stage," she said.

The study has analysed almost 300,000 test swabs over the last six weeks from randomly selected members of the public, whether they have symptoms or not.

It comes after the leader of the biggest COVID-19 study in England said restrictions across the north of England could be pushing down the growth of the coronavirus epidemic.

The organisation's data indicated case rates were highest among 20-29 year olds, but showed positivity rates had increased across most age groups and were highest in the 60-69 age range in community testing.

The UK had reported a slight dip in those testing positive on Thursday after two straight days of more than 7,000 new daily cases.

But the ONS infection survey looks to estimate infection numbers in the community beyond those who have been tested.

It found an estimated 116,600 people had the disease in England - up from an estimated 103,600 people last week.

The ONS added there was clear evidence of an increase in the number of people testing positive in recent weeks.

And it added that the data pointed to higher infection rates in the north of England and in London.

The survey found shopping and eating out were the most commonly reported activities among people with COVID-19 in the two to seven days before symptoms began, suggesting this was considered a possible place of transmission.

However, only 4% of transmissions were confirmed as having happened in a food outlets restaurant.

This compares to 41% in educational settings - with the biggest proportion being in secondary schools, which saw a rate of transmission more than three times higher than those in colleges and universities.

An example of biased data could be that a person is researching whether or not boys and girls play with toys that are assigned to the opposite of their sex. If the researcher believed that girls played with dolls and boys played with cars then they are already presenting a bias whether it is intentional or not.  The data collected through observation may be my gender stereotyped than it actually is due to the researcher using their bias in order to ‘see what they want to see’. ~
