Alex Salmond has claimed that sexual assault allegations against him are "deliberate fabrications for a political purpose" or "exaggerations".

The former SNP leader also told his trial that he had "never attempted to have non-consensual sexual relations with anyone in my entire life".

And he denied claims that female civil servants were not allowed to work alone with him while he was first minister.

He said he now wished he had "been more careful with people's personal space".

Mr Salmond denies 13 charges of sexual assault against nine women.

Talks to agree a UK-EU trade deal have been put on hold due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Negotiating teams were due resume talks on Wednesday although a face-to-face meeting had already been ruled out due to the virus.

The jury is considering its verdict in the trial of Alex Salmond, who denies carrying out a string of sexual assaults while he was Scotland's first minister.

The jury of nine women and six men retired at 14:00 on Friday after hearing two weeks of evidence.

They can reach one of three verdicts for each of the 13 charges - guilty, not guilty or not proven.

The verdicts must be agreed by a majority of the 15 jurors.

Mr Salmond says he is innocent of all 13 charges of sexual assault, which are alleged to have been committed against nine women over a six-year period.

Labour has urged ministers to go "further and faster" to help those affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Unions have welcomed the government's emergency financial support package for workers, announced earlier by the chancellor.

And business group UK Hospitality said the move could potentially save up to a million jobs.

Sounds fishy to me.

Got it, They want the New Labour Leader get top billing on the news next month, just like Greta that is not going to happen.

Just a bit of light humour...

MPs from all the main parties are picking up their stethoscopes and returning to old jobs in health and social care in a bid to help services tackle the coronavirus crisis.

Some medically-trained MPs have been out of the NHS for too long to be of use in the current emergency.

But others have recently left their jobs as doctors, nurses or care workers to take up a seat in Parliament.

And a few have continued to practice while representing their constituents.

Frankfurter Rundschau leans to the left side of the poolitical and opinion spectrum in Germany, but with this piece of theirs I agree. Johnson leaves a lousy impression in all this virus mess.
