Covid cases and deaths in the UK rose slightly today, with another 2,472 infections and 23 deaths confirmed by Department of Health officials. The numbers mark increases of 3.9 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively, on last Tuesday's figures but the daily average remains significantly lower than this time last week. Although rising numbers are generally bad news, Boris Johnson said today that it was 'inevitable' this would happen as lockdown rules get loosened. Officials are expected to take a more relaxed view of cases increasing now that half the UK population has been vaccinated. The Prime Minister said: 'As we unlock, the result will inevitably be that we will see more infection, sadly we will see more hospitalisation and deaths, and people have just got to understand that.'

The implants built by California-based Neuralink will one day allow those with physical disabilities to control a computer with their thoughts. The company released a video last week of a brain-chipped monkey apparently playing video games with its mind. Similar technology could make its way to human test subjects by the end of the year if the start-up meets a previous prediction from Musk. The billionaire Tesla boss tweeted in February: "Neuralink is working super hard to ensure implant safety & is in close communication with the FDA. "If things go well, we might be able to do initial human trials later this year."

Coldplay album edges closer after legal wrangle over Music Of The Spheres
SIXTEEN months after their last release and following more than a year of lockdown misery for the music business, COLDPLAY look set to be back with a bang soon. I revealed in February how the band had teased the name of a prospective new album, Music Of The Spheres, on some editions of their chart-topping 2019 collection Everyday Life.
