England boss Wiegman says team well-prepared for sweltering Swiss heat
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox ZURICH - England manager Sarina Wiegman is confident her players will be well prepared for the Switzerland heatwave when they begin the defence of their Women's European Championship title against France on Saturday in Zurich. Wiegman was thankful for the recent warm weather in England that allowed them to get in some early heat acclimatisation. "Of course, we have protocols in place, strategies, which players who have been around longer are familiar with... because they played in circumstances like this," Wiegman said from the team's base camp on Wednesday. "I think we could already practise (in the heat) the first week of our training camp, because in England it was really hot too." England's heat protocols including wearing ice vests and towels, sitting in ice baths and drinking ice slushies. They also use cryotherapy, which involves applying extremely cold temperatures either locally with ice packs or cooling sprays, or in a cryotherapy chamber. "(We also) make sure we are hydrated. Of course, taking enough rest," Wiegman said. "Don't go in and out all the time. That's for your recovery. And do those things to keep your body temperature low." The temperature climbed to 33 degrees Celsius in Zurich on Wednesday but conditions are expected to cool down slightly before the weekend. Saturday's kickoff is at 9 p.m. local time (1900 GMT).

The normally strict security rules were relaxed to allow fans attending matches on the first two days -- Wednesday and Thursday -- to bring a half-litre plastic or aluminium water bottle into the stadium, though no glass bottles will be allowed. Wiegman said after Saturday's game that the team would meet with England's medical staff to gauge how the players managed the conditions. "And then we move forward on to the next game," she said.

UK prosecutors consider further charges against baby killer Lucy Letby
LONDON: British prosecutors said on Wednesday (Jul 2) they were considering bringing further charges against nurse Lucy Letby, already convicted of murdering seven babies, over allegations relating to deaths and other incidents at hospitals where she worked. Letby, 35, is already serving life in jail and will never be released after being found guilty of attacking the newborns and attempting to kill eight more at the neonatal unit of the Countess of Chester Hospital in northern England between June 2015 and June 2016. Letby, Britain's worst serial child killer of modern times, has maintained her innocence throughout but has been refused permission to appeal. Her lawyers are seeking to have the case reviewed, saying there are serious doubts over whether she was guilty of any crimes. However, following her convictions, police said they were examining whether she had committed further crimes while at the Chester hospital, or at the unit where she had previously worked, and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it was now examining the evidence. "We can confirm that we have received a full file of evidence from Cheshire Constabulary asking us to consider further allegations in relation to deaths and non-fatal collapses of babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital and Liverpool Women's Hospital," a CPS spokesperson said. "We will now carefully consider the evidence to determine whether any further criminal charges should be brought." It said a referral by police did not mean charges would follow. Since Letby was jailed, some lawmakers and medical experts have publicly challenged the prosecution evidence that was used to find her guilty, with some experts querying whether any babies had actually been murdered at all. The Criminal Cases Review Commission, which examines potential miscarriages of justice, is currently considering an application from Letby's legal team, and her lawyer Mark McDonald said on Wednesday the evidence of her innocence was "overwhelming". "We will cross every bridge when we get to it, but if Lucy is charged I know we have a whole army of internationally renowned medical experts who will totally undermine the prosecution's unfounded allegations," McDonald said in a statement. On Tuesday, detectives said they had arrested three unnamed senior members of the hospital's leadership team as part of their separate investigation into individuals and the Chester hospital itself. "Both the corporate manslaughter and gross negligence manslaughter elements of the investigation are continuing, and there are no set timescales for these," said Detective Superintendent Paul Hughes, who is leading the investigation.
