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.

In more ways than one, Orphan Black is the Tatiana Maslany show. Before she becomes a household name thanks to Disney Plus' upcoming She-Hulk, see her play no fewer than 14 characters in one series, including a hallucinated scorpion. Just let that sink in for a second. Orphan Black sews smart sci-fi concepts into a fast-paced thriller, galloping along with added mystery and comedy in its stride. A must-watch sci-fi series exploring the nature vs. nurture debate.

The Black Mirror comparisons are inevitable with this British series about technology gone wrong. Set in a futuristic London, The Feed centers on an implant that lets people livestream their lives without needing to press a button on a phone. No, absolutely nothing goes wrong. An impressive cast includes David Thewlis and Michelle Fairley. While it's not as polished or deep-cutting as Black Mirror, The Feed is still worth a look.

A person who was trying to flee with his family lies on the ground after the shelling of the Russian army at the evacuation point of Irpin, several members of the same family have been killed in this attack today 

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!' 

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 Man in the High Castle imagines an alternate history where the Axis powers (Rome-Berlin-Tokyo) win World War II. Based on a Philip K. Dick novel, the series follows characters in the '60s who live in a parallel universe, where Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan control the US. But there's impossible newsreel footage surfacing of a world where Germany and Japan lose the war, causing some to rebel. To really hammer home its dystopia credentials, The Man in the High Castle is steered by producer Ridley Scott. Fully realized and with a focused plot, this is gripping TV.

And on Saturday evening, GB News presenter Mark Dolan called it a 'snooty remark', adding: 'these pampered BBC stars and their management haven't got a clue about the real world and the very country in which they live.'

One critic has even set up a Twitter site called 'The Lies of Big Jet TV', where the unnamed troll insists his excitable commentary of landings in storms suggest he 'almost wants a crash to happen', adding: 'This is not an aviation streamer, he is an ambulance chaser'.

'We're going to see a budget that continues to increase taxes, and continues to spend taxpayer moneys, and continues to have this 15th consecutive month of inflation persist as a result of that,' Arrington said.  

While Sir Tony's view offered much needed encouragement, he told the BBC's Sunday Morning show he feared the violence could get much worse because Russia's tactics were failing and Putin was becoming more desperate.

Humans might not be entirely original, but the assembled parts sing. A British family purchases an artificially intelligent robot called a "synth" to help out with their busy lives. This grounded approach to sentient, possibly dangerous robots is one of Humans' greatest strengths. At the sweet center: an innocent bond between the family's youngest daughter and Gemma Chan's elegant and efficient synth Anita. A mystery draws the family into the origins of the robots, who explore requisite philosophical themes such as humanity, pain, memories and reality.

Ukrainian servicemen try to help people who have been wounded in Irpin - as an increasingly delusional Putin is insisting that Russia is not bombing Ukrainian cities, despite mounting fears that 100 people are buried under rubble after an apartment block near Kyiv was struck and after a cluster bomb attack on the city of Chernihiv killed 49 earlier this week. A mother and two children were killed and the father was wounded by a mortar shell as hundreds of civilians sought safety
