RBS in profit, and Florida officer ‘didn’t confront killer’43160874

Hello. Here’s your morning briefing:

It’s been owned mostly by taxpayers since the financial crash, and in that time it’s reported nothing but losses. But finally there’s some good news for RBS. The bank has made a profit for the first time in a decade. It amounts to £752m for the year and follows a loss of £6.95bn the year before. We’ll have the reaction as it comes in.

“I am devastated,” said Scott Israel, sheriff of Broward County Sheriff, in Florida. “Sick to my stomach. He never went in.” He was referring to the apparent inaction of Deputy Scot Peterson during last week’s gun attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in which 17 people were killed. Mr Israel said he had footage of Mr Peterson on campus, armed and in uniform, waiting for four minutes outside the building where the shooting was happening.

Mr Peterson has resigned but has not yet commented. He was one of up to 20,000 school resource officers – responsible for safety and crime prevention in schools – across the US. The allegations against him come after President Donald Trump suggested arming teachers could be a way of preventing future armed attacks. Here’s what some of them have said in response.

Nineteen-year-old former student Nikolas Cruz is accused of carrying out the shooting.

Doctors, pharmacists, hospitals and care homes in England may be making 237 million drug errors a year, a study suggests. Researchers from Manchester, Sheffield and York universities also say that up to a quarter of cases could result in harm to patients – with mistakes possibly being a factor in more than 22,000 deaths. Problems include giving the wrong drugs and the wrong doses, they add. In a speech later, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt will promise the NHS will do more to end “appalling levels of harm and death that are totally preventable”.

Some negative experiences on social media – like bullying, or becoming worried about how your appearance compares to others’ – can and do affect some children and young people. However, this does not mean that technology use in general is harmful and it is difficult to make claims about how it will affect different people. Indeed, some studies suggest that using social media can bring benefits, or have no effect on wellbeing at all.

The resignation of Unicef’s deputy director Justin Forsyth after allegations of inappropriate behaviour towards female staff in his previous job at Save the Children leads the Guardian and Metro. Meanwhile, the Times says a strike by lecturers is causing “chaos” at universities, with some vice-chancellors calling for peace talks with unions. The Daily Mail reports that plastic drinking straws are set to be outlawed. And the Sun reveals that pensioners in a care home in Dorset were given a pole-dancing display after they requested it as an activity. Its headline? “Antiques rude show”.
