Coronavirus pandemic stripped away “everything she loved” – including her passion for wrestling.Alex Cooper, better known to British wrestling fans as Alexxis Falcon, was having the best time of her career before the initial two-week lockdown kicked in in March, 2020.Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, she said: "Everything I had was taken away from me – not being able to wrestle really got me depressed."It was getting me so down, not being able to do what was like my escape - it felt like I was spiraling into a depression.“Every time I looked on social media I saw other people posting highlights of their career so far, and then the Speaking Out movement hit, which made it even more depressing.”The Speaking Out movement saw hundreds of wrestlers – mainly female – detailing experiences of sexual, physical and mental abuse within British wrestling - essentially, British wrestling's own Me Too movement.The Hull native was talking to us after a brutal victory over Lana Austin at Progress Wrestling's Manchester show on Sunday.It was the company's first show outside of London under the new ownership team of Tranmere Rovers bosses Lee McAteer and Martyn Best.Recalling the days prior to the pandemic, she said: “I had a match at TNT Wrestling in Liverpool just a few days before we went into lockdown, and it was weird because everyone was wearing masks and using hand sanitizer.“I was wondering if this was a scare or actually as bad as everyone was saying it is.”Just a few days later, the country was plunged into lockdown, and Alex was forced to isolate for the next two months – she was classed as high risk and clinically vulnerable due to her asthma.Her now-fiancé, wrestler JJ Webb, was doing all of her shopping, and leaving.

Ghislaine Maxwell Trial: Juror regrets not disclosing sex abuse

NEW YORK (AP) - A juror told a judge Tuesday that failing to disclose his child abuse history during jury selection at the trial of British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell was one of the biggest mistakes of his life — but an unintentional one."I didn't lie in order to get on this jury," the juror said.A U.S. judge questioned the juror extensively as part of an effort to decide whether the revelation about his personal history as a sex abuse survivor will spoil the verdict in the sex trafficking trial.Maxwell was convicted in late December of helping the financier Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse multiple teenage girls from 1994 to 2004.Sitting in a courtroom witness box, the juror repeatedly expressed regret as U.S.

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw says an officer violated the department’s use of force directive in the shooting that left 12-year-old Thomas Siderio dead near 18th and Barbara streets last week.

‘We can’t let our guard down’: Ontario First Nations face COVID outbreaks

COVID-19 cases in Eabametoong First Nation.The virus spread rapidly through the remote community located about 300 kilometres north of Thunder Bay, Ont., triggering a lockdown that shut stores and public facilities while residents were advised to self-isolate to prevent further infections.It all happened as the province was gradually lifting public health measures against COVID-19 and infection rates were declining in much of southern Ontario.In Eabametoong, however, about 170 of the community’s roughly 1,400 residents were ill with the virus in mid February, according to Chief Solomon Atlookan. Due to a limited number of homes and public facilities, it was a challenge for residents to isolate to curb the spread of COVID-19, he said.“It was a massive infection rate here in the community and it sort of took everybody by surprise,” Atlookan said in a phone interview.
