UK report blames "senior leadership" over illegal Downing Street COVID parties
LONDON (Reuters) -A failure of leadership at British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Downing Street office was to a blame for a culture that led to illegal parties being held during coronavirus lockdowns, a report by a senior civil servant said on Wednesday. The report by senior official Sue Gray was commissioned by Johnson after revelations of alcohol-fuelled parties at Downing Street when social mixing was all but banned under stringent laws his government had made to curb the spread of COVID-19. Gray's interim findings were published in January, but most details were withheld until the end of a separate police inquiry, which concluded last week with 126 fines handed out.

Steve Kerr blasts ‘pathetic’ US gun control after Texas school shooting: ‘When are we going to do something?’
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr last night slammed US gun control laws as “pathetic” and refused to discuss basketball after 19 children and two teachers were killed in a shooting at an elementary school in Texas. The killer has been named as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, who was himself shot dead by law enforcement officers after entering Robb Elementary School in the city of Uvalde, 80 miles west of San Antonio, and opening fire on his victims. Kerr was in Texas for Game 4 of his side’s NBA Western Conference Finals series against the Dallas Mavericks when news of the mass shooting broke and the 56-year-old used his pre-match press conference to make an impassioned call for action to US senators.
