Bottoms, who served as mayor of Atlanta from 2018 to 2022, previously blamed the 50 percent increase in homicides in 2021 on lax gun laws, teenagers having too much free time on their hands and the state lifting its COVID-19.

'We want to see the faces of our children. We want to see their smiles,' the mayor said, adding that parents with kids over the age of five could still send their children to school with face coverings if they wished.

They deserve exactly what every single other person above the age of five in this city and every single other person in this state is getting today. Join me in demanding that Mayor Adams unmask our toddlers,' she finished to the sound of the crowd chanting 'unmask our toddlers!'

'Two years of pain, two years of heartbreak, of uncertainty, of business loss, of schools closing, of just conflict inside our households, but I said from  since the time I was elected I said that this virus was not going to define us, we're going to define ourselves.'

'Vaccines have saved so many lives,' he said.
'And prevented an immense amount of suffering and pain. New York City's nation-leading vaccination policies, while sometimes controversial, were demonstrably effective.'

The former mayor also said the pandemic 'left a lot of people battered and bruised, not just physically, but also emotionally,' which led to an increase in personal disputes that could easily be exacerbated by guns.

Angry New York City parents and children flooded City Hall Park on Monday morning - the first day children over five are permitted to shed their masks - demanding that those under five be given the same freedom.

Monday's rally was just one of several outpourings of public frustration after New York Mayor Eric Adams confirmed last Wednesday that the United States' most populous city would remove mandates requiring masks for public school children aged five and over and proof of vaccination to dine out or enter entertainment venues. 

The government has announced that the owner of Chelsea FC will also be prohibited from transactions with UK individuals and businesses.
The government could still grant him a licence to sell the club, but will need to be assured that he will not benefit financially and any proceeds would remain frozen.

Keisha Lance Bottoms says a stray bullet nearly hit her nephew after it penetrated his bedroom wall and landed beside his bed in Atlanta - just years after another nephew was tragically shot and killed.

It is understood the warrant for her arrest was issued after she failed to attend a court hearing on Valentine's Day. When Meyer was handed a suspended sentence, Mr Justice Kerr said she had shown herself 'to be a selfish and untrustworthy person'. 

The venture capitalist, 55, was handed a six-month suspended sentence for contempt of court earlier this month after she failed to hand over financial documents and repeatedly failed to attend hearings over unpaid fees to the Queen's solicitors, Farrer & Co.

'We have become so boring as a city," he said. 'I want to become a city of excitement. We are looking to reinstate every parade, every festival, every block party. People need to get outdoors and enjoy our city again.'

Protesters argued that the mandate is unnecessary because of the low risk of infection for those under five, and that the rule is 'damaging' to the emotional and social development of young children. Along with a vaccine mandate for municipal employees, the under-fives rule is among the only Covid restrictions NYC Mayor Eric Adams didn't lift last week.

'Until we deal with the systemic issues of gun violence in this country - how easily young people with mental illness can access guns in this country, I'm afraid that this will not be the last summer that we are having this conversation,'  Bottoms told  .

She has admitted disliking the superficiality of LA, saying: 'I have a lot of friends who were brought up in the UK like me [who] are working in LA as actors. They're stuck in this place where everyone is so far up your a**e.'

Meyer, who was awarded an honorary MBE in 2011 and advised David Cameron's government, claimed she was unable to travel to court from her home in Switzerland due to having the eye condition conjunctivitis and being unjabbed.
