Frank Leboeuf is expecting Manchester City to beat Manchester United in the same manner they swept Chelsea aside in the Premier League last weekend.
Pep Guardiola’s City face Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, with a place in the Carabao Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur on the line.
Spurs booked their spot in the final on Tuesday evening with a 2-0 win over Championship outfit Brentford and they will learn their opponents later on Wednesday.
City and United shared a point apiece in this same fixture in the Premier League earlier this season after a drab 0-0 draw.
Both are flying high in the table, with United level on points with Liverpool at the top of the league – with a game in hand on Jurgen Klopp’s side – and City four points further behind in fifth but with a game in hand on United.
The two sides head into this game off the back of wins. United beat Aston Villa 2-1 on Friday night before City humbled Chelsea 3-1.
And Leboeuf expect City – who he views as the superior team – to enjoy a similar win over United to book a final against Spurs.
‘I want to see the same team, because I want to see the same performance,’ Leboeuf told ESPN. ‘Like that, I can level the power of Manchester United comparing to Chelsea.
‘I think that City is above both teams so I want City to show to the world that they’re back to – even though it’s not the Premier League they’ll be playing in – being contenders.
‘I’m expecting the same type of game, same type of result, same type of performance.
‘Therefore, the same team, the first XI. They don’t have much choice, they’re on a good road right now and they have to keep on going if they want to go through and maybe play a final but also reassure everyone about their future.’

‘Listen as well as talk – and try not to interrupt’: how to be a better friend

Friends are the family you choose. Kindred spirits, your tribe. I learned this, aged 14, when I was hit by the sudden realisation, while sorting laundry, that I’d never get the relationship I craved with a sibling who was chalk to my cheese. I decided to redirect that energy into friends. I didn’t realise, as I folded those pants, what a positive shift I was making: friends not only shield you from so much of life’s shrapnel, but share, and even augment, the joy.
The past year has challenged all of that. Although on the whole people seem to be friendlier to each other, opportunities for making new friends have been scarce. For those who are tech-averse or prefer to do things side by side with people, keeping friendships going has been doubly difficult.
“The lack of structure makes it easy to let people slip out of our thinking,” says psychotherapist Noel Bell. “When we see people at work, or at the gym, we have that spontaneous interaction with them.” We don’t get that in lockdown. For those comfortable with technology, Bell suggests having virtual hangouts or joining an online class together (a friend has one where they sit and make things on Zoom, and talk only occasionally). Alternatively, sending a handwritten letter, or just “making concrete plans to do things together in the future”, can really help; doing the latter lets people know that you’re thinking of them, even if you can’t see them now – and we all need something to look forward to.
I don’t like video calls; instead, I speak, text or email. With my headset on, I can carry out a mindless activity – ironing or baking – while I chat to old school friends, almost as if they’re with me in person. With other friends, I’ve taken to sending a letter (using lined paper to stop my writing looking like a cardiograph readout) or little things by post – usually chocolate. With friends farther afield, where the temptation is to feel you’ve been out of touch for so long that you owe them an essay, we have implemented a “200 words or under” email catchup, which is all you need to start again.
If you’ve let some friendships slip and want to rekindle them, start with a gentle re-entry. You want an inquiry that doesn’t put the onus on them to fill in the gaps but steps gingerly. They might have had a difficult year and you don’t want to bounce in. If texting/emailing, go for something like: “Sorry I’ve not been in touch, no reflection on how often I’ve thought of you, be great to chat soon, is everything OK with you?” You can go into more detail about yourself if you write a letter, but be mindful that they might have suffered loss. Personally, I would not call as a first resort after a long period of silence – it puts that person on the spot. But if that’s the only way you communicated, then remember to ask if this is a good time for them to talk before launching in. How they respond may tell you a lot about where they’re at with you.
However you meet up, there are some evergreen rules for making and keeping friends. “Don’t be an energy zapper,” Bell advises. “Be an energy enhancer.” Especially now, it’s easy to go into a spiral of moaning. It’s precisely because so many of us can find something to complain about that it’s best kept to a minimum. This doesn’t mean you have to be happy-clappy, but good friendship can be as much about what you leave out as what you give.
Bell recommends you aim for “a healthy flow of give and take. Listen as well as talk, and try not to interrupt. Make a point of asking people how they are, and listen to their answer.” But no one likes someone who is stuck on transmit; if all you do is listen, you’ll end every conversation feeling exhausted – and wondering what’s in it for you.
One of the reasons friendships stall or never blossom is that it’s easy to think no one will want to hear from you. “Try to silence your inner critic,” Bell says; you may think you’re not interesting or funny enough, but 99% of the time people are more concerned with how they came across than how you did –they have their own inner critic, too.
I have never let rejection put me off making friends: most people want to be liked, so be brave. If they don’t reciprocate, that isn’t an indication of how all future friendships will go, just that one. I don’t find it hard to remember, say, birthdays or when people are getting test results (at last, something I am blessed with!); but if you do, write things in your diary and get in contact then. Such connections consolidate friendships because they make it personal: you’ve seen that person, you’ve listened, you know what’s happening in their life.
While friendship ebbs and flows, it should never become so one-sided that you feel used. If you feel as if you’ve given blood after you’ve put the phone down to someone, or they never answer your calls, expect you always to initiate or – my personal favourite – buoy up their own poor self-esteem by trying to erode yours, it’s time to rethink. I call these my portcullis moments. Crap friendships are worse than none: few things make you feel more lonely and wretched. So redirect your energy to those friendships that make you feel good.

A man allegedly caught travelling at more than 200km/h has had his ute seized and been charged with dangerous driving.
The 48-year-old driver came to the attention of police via the speed cameras on the M1 highway on the Gold Coast.
He was allegedly detected driving at 212km/h in the northbound lanes at Gaven, where the speed limit is 110km/h, just after 2am on Wednesday.
Seven minutes later, the same Holden ute was allegedly recorded travelling at 186km/h at Yatala, meaning his average speed over the 26-kilometre distance was 213km/h.
Police found the vehicle at a Currumbin Waters home on Thursday and said the registered owner admitted driving at the time.
It was seized for a mechanical inspection and the man is due to appear in Coolangatta Magistrates Court on January 18.

Fears of 'twindemic' recede as US influenza rates stay low

As Covid-19 continues to surge in the US, with a record number of more than 4,000 virus deaths on Friday, some good news has come from data about the flu.
During a typical flu season, the number of people getting the flu would just be starting to rise, with the peak typically coming in February. Yet so far, only 0.2% of 400,000 swabs for the flu have been positive, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. During the same time last year, the positivity rate was 13%.
With hospitals across the country near or at capacity with Covid-19 patients – about 132,000 people are currently hospitalized with Covid – flu’s minimal presence is a blessing. At least 38 million Americans had the virus during the 2019-20 season. While the flu is less deadly than Covid-19, it has the potential to strain the healthcare system during a bad year. Last year, 400,000 people were hospitalized with the flu and 22,000 died from it.
“Covid is causing an incredible stress on the healthcare system in many parts of the country,” said Dr William Schaffner, a professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at Vanderbilt University. “Even if we had a mild to average [flu] season, we would all be swamped at the moment.”
Instead, “we’re having, to date, a profoundly mild influenza season,” Schaffner said.
Multiple factors have played a role in dampening the flu this season.
The virus usually makes its way to the northern hemisphere after spreading in the southern hemisphere, which experiences its flu season from June to August. But the 2020 flu season in the south was virtually non-existent.
Public health experts believed that measures in the southern hemisphere to prevent the spread of Covid-19 also worked to stop the spread of the flu. Though the flu is also a respiratory virus, it is not as transmissible as Covid-19, so mask-wearing and social distancing are more effective at disrupting flu spread than the spread of Covid-19. The low number of cases, paired with the decrease in travel between the northern and southern hemisphere, boded well for the flu season in the north.
Still, Americans were urged to get the flu vaccine to decrease the chances of a feared “twindemic” of flu and Covid-19. More than 192m doses of the flu vaccine were distributed throughout the US by the end of December, according to the CDC, the highest number of doses distributed in a single flu season.
It appears the bulk of those doses have been used. More adults in the US got the vaccine this season compared with years past, according to the CDC. About 53% of adults have received the flu vaccines. Around the same time last year, 42% of adults had been vaccinated while 48% were vaccinated by the end of the last flu season.
Schaffner said schools undertaking measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19 – extensive cleaning, masks and social distancing and holding classes virtually – probably also played a key role in stopping the flu’s spread. Children shed the flu virus more than adults do and for longer periods of time, making it easy to spread to family members and teachers who can spread it to other adults.
“Children have been much more isolated, so this distribution mechanism has been effectively shut down,” he said.
While there is much to celebrate about the low flu numbers, the US is not out of the woods yet: there is still a chance the virus could see a surge, especially since millions of Americans traveled over the holidays.
But Schaffner said there was cautious optimism that the US had avoided the worst of a “twindemic”.
“We continue to be very alert to that possibility, but so far, I think we’re on a record-setting pace for a low flu season.”

Indian attack must not dictate: Warner

Australia's batsmen have been urged to get on the front foot and unsettle India's attack at the SCG, where David Warner may open with Matthew Wade as the hosts seek to break the shackles.
Warner's absence has left an immense void in Australia's XI during the opening two Tests.
The veteran has scored 7,244 Test runs at an average of almost 50, which lifts to 65.9 when restricted to his 43 Tests on home soil.
The speed at which the left-hander scores has also been sorely missed during a series when the overall run-rate is 2.63; the lowest of any Australian Test summer this century.
Especially at the MCG, where Australia managed a run-rate of 2.69 in their first innings then 1.94 in their second dig.
"You can't allow great attacks to dictate to you as a batsman," Warner said.
"I've always said from day dot, I'd rather go down swinging than sitting on the crease.
"In the last two Tests, from both teams there has probably been that lack of urgency at the top - (not) trying to take it to the bowlers."
Warner noted the MCG and Adelaide Oval pitches, coupled with two very good attacks, were part of the reason for this summer's scoring struggles.
But the aggressive opener added that intent wasn't purely a matter of boundaries and quick singles.
"I talk about body language," he said.
"It's loud calling, the way your shoulders are back. You're in the bowler's face, trying to unsettle their line and length.
"It's not going out there and just swinging the bat, there's other ways of showing intent, and putting pressure on them can lead to the odd full-pitched or short ball."
The 34-year-old is expected to return from injury in the pivotal third Test at the SCG, where Australia and India will both hunt a 2-1 series lead.
Joe Burns, the only member of Australia's top six to pass 50 in the series, has been dumped from the XI.
Wade served as a makeshift opener in Adelaide and Melbourne, while Marcus Harris and would-be debutant Will Pucovski are Warner's other potential partners in the squad.
"If you have Wadey and I out there and we get a little bit of a sniff then the run-rate could be quite high," Warner quipped.
"It's who the selectors feel comfortable with. If they want two changes or one change.
"But the way Wadey applied his pressure the other day was great."

For the second year in a row there is a Game of Thrones-shaped chasm in the calendar: prequel House of the Dragon won’t launch until 2022. That presents an opening for deep-pocketed rivals. Netflix’s own medieval-tinged gorefest The Witcher is back for a second season, joined on the platform by sorcery saga Shadow and Bone (April). And Amazon Prime Video is set to launch two formidable fantasy franchises: The Wheel of Time adapts Robert Jordan’s hefty series of novels, with Rosamund Pike starring, while we might finally see its long-awaited The Lord of the Rings adaptation, set to be the most expensive TV show of all time at a cool $1bn.
Between Covid disruption and some shows just taking their sweet time, 2021 has a high share of returnees. On the drama front, expect another Euphoria special (January, Sky Atlantic), Kelly Macdonald guest-starring in Line of Duty (spring, BBC One), a Chris Rock-fronted Fargo (Channel 4), further outings for Sex Education, Stranger Things (both Netflix), American Gods (11 January, Amazon Prime Video), and The Morning Show (Apple TV+). Cheer can be found in comedies This Time With Alan Partridge (BBC One), Inside No 9, Motherland (both BBC Two), Pls Like, Back to Life (both BBC Three), Pen15 , Insecure (both Sky Comedy), another outing for Taskmaster (Channel 4) and Donald Glover’s ace Atlanta (BBC Two). Mitchell and Webb’s Back (21 January, Channel 4) is also, well, back.
Telly loves a wrong ’un. This year is no different, as TV’s first family of foulness, the Roys, return for a third outing of Succession (Sky Atlantic). Glenn Howerton is back as terrible teacher Dr Carson in AP Bio (18 January, Sky Comedy); his other, even more sociopathic sitcom It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Netflix) has been renewed for four more seasons. Elsewhere, Shonda Rhimes’s drama Inventing Anna (Netflix) sees Julia Garner play fake heiress Anna Delvey, while it’s hoped that, despite delays, noted sleazeball Saul Goodman will be back for a final season of Better Call Saul (Netflix) this year.
You won’t be able to move for mirth in 2021: Frank of Ireland (Channel 4) pairs up brothers Brian and Domhnall Gleeson for a daft, Dublin-set comedy, while New Zealander standup Rose Matafeo has a one-night stand with an A-lister in Starstruck (BBC Three). Greg Davies mops up crime scenes in new sitcom The Cleaner (BBC One), while Jane Horrocks is an ambulance driver in Bloods (Sky One). There is a full series for Comedy Blap Lady Parts (Channel 4), about a female Muslim punk band, and Gbemisola Ikumelo expands on her Bafta-winning short Brain in Gear (BBC Three). For something more sketchy, there’s inventive duo Lazy Susan and absurdists Ellie and Natasia (both BBC Three).
The golden age of US TV drama stretches into another year. Moonlight director Barry Jenkins adapts Colson Whitehead’s slavery novel The Underground Railroad (Amazon Prime Video) and HBO’s Mare of Easttown (Sky Atlantic) has Kate Winslet investigating a small-town murder in Pennsylvania. For something less earthbound there’s Asimov adaptation Foundation (Apple TV+), and Star Wars spin-off The Book of Boba Fett (December, Disney+). And Ryan Murphy is, as ever, cooking up a number of shows: expect Halston (Netflix), a Ewan McGregor-fronted biopic about the fashion designer, and American Crime Story: Impeachment (BBC Two), which tackles the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.
After conquering cinema, Marvel’s universe expands further with a clutch of superpowered shows on Disney+. First up is the trippy WandaVision (15 January), which sees Avengers duo Scarlet Witch and Vision trapped in a 50s sitcom. That will be followed by four more series: The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (19 March), Loki (May), Ms Marvel and Hawkeye (both late 2021). Competition comes from DC, whose Arrowverse stable of shows welcomes Superman and Lois (UK broadcaster TBC) and the first black Batwoman (E4).
British drama had a banner year in 2020. Can 2021 match it? Early signs are encouraging. Russell T Davies confronts the Aids crisis in 80s-set drama It’s a Sin (22 January, Channel 4). The North Water (BBC Two) teams up Colin Farrell with 45 Years director Andrew Haigh for a drama about 19th-century whalers, while Landscapers (Sky Atlantic) sees Olivia Colman in a blackly comic shocker. Stephen Merchant plays the serial killer Stephen Port in factual drama Four Lives (BBC One), while the Sarah Solemani-scripted Ridley Road (BBC One) is inspired by Jewish anti-fascism groups in 60s east London. Domina (Sky Atlantic) follows power plays in ancient Rome through the wife of Augustus Caesar, and Queen & Slim star Jodie Turner Smith turns heads in a provocative drama about Anne Boleyn’s final days (Channel 5).
Non-scripted TV played a vital supporting role in 2020, with The Great British Bake Off (autumn, Channel 4) and Strictly Come Dancing (autumn, BBC One) credited with keeping spirits up. Both will provide more comfort in 2021, as should the return of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (14 January, BBC Three), and we might see a delayed sixth season of Queer Eye (Netflix). After a year away working on its base tan, Love Island (summer, ITV2) is expected to return. Expect a deluge of documentaries, too: The Fall of the House of Maxwell (BBC Two) traces the elite family’s downwards spiral from Robert to Ghislaine; New Labour (BBC Two) gets a five-part treatment by the team behind the Beeb’s Thatcher series; and Tiger (likely Sky Documentaries) traces a golfing legend’s rise, fall and resurgence.
Pixar Popcorn (22 January, Disney+) is a collection of shorts based round some of the studio’s most beloved characters, followed by the Monsters Inc spin-off Monsters at Work (early 2021). Star Trek: Lower Decks (22 January, Amazon Prime Video) is an adult comic spin-off focusing on “one of Starfleet’s least important ships” created by Mike McMahan, the chief writer on Rick and Morty (All 4), which should be back for its fifth season at some point, too. Then there is Marvel’s alternative superhero history What If …? (Disney+) and the gory-looking Invincible (Amazon Prime Video). And, after its Netflix cancellation, the gloriously anarchic bird-com Tuca & Bertie heads to Adult Swim in the US, with a UK broadcaster still to be announced.
Deal or no deal, classy series continue to flow in from the continent. Naples mob epic Gomorrah (Sky Atlantic) is back for a fifth outing; its creator Roberto Saviano has another of his novels adapted in Zero, Zero, Zero (January, Sky Atlantic), a transcontinental drug trade drama starring Andrea Riseborough. Germany is well represented: the final season of Deutschland 89 (February, Channel 4) tackles the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the creepy miniseries Hausen (spring, Sky Atlantic) puts a modern spin on haunted-house horrors. Finally, the team behind The Bridge and The Killing go jet-setting with Bullets (29 January, All 4), a terrorist thriller that hops between Georgia, Belgium and Finland.

Facebook and Instagram users have been put on alert after a massive data breach led to millions of people having personal data stolen. Here is everything you need to know
We use Facebook and Instagram almost every day knowing they are secure, but the social media platforms have alerted millions of users after a data breach.
At least 214 million accounts for Facebook, Instagram and job networking site LinkedIn have been impacted, according to researchers.
Some of the stolen data includes e-mail addresses, phone numbers, names and even location data.
The massive data breach was found by researchers at Safety Detectives, which reported on the issue first.
They said around 400GB of personal data had been from stolen Chinese social media management company SocialArks.
SocialArks' database was created after user data was “scraped” from Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
The good news is that more sensitive information, such as passwords or financial information, was not included in the data breach.
The researchers said: "SocialArks’ database contained scraped data including personal information, albeit user data was partially completed.
"However, according to our findings, SocialArks’ database stored personal data for Instagram and LinkedIn users such as private phone numbers and email addresses for users that did not divulge such information publicly on their accounts.
“How Socialarks could possibly have access to such data in the first place remains unknown."
Safety Detectives found the database vulnerability last month and contacted SocialArks, they secured the server on the same day.

New Year's Day may be memorable for all the wrong reasons for more than 100 NSW drivers busted for drink driving.
Among the 136 alleged offenders on January 1 was a 51-year-old woman from Sydney's northern beaches who was charged and had her licence suspended after allegedly returning a blood-alcohol reading of 0.158.
She is due to face Manly Local Court later in January.
Since the NSW road safety operation began on Christmas Eve, 7906 speeding fines and 7196 infringement notices have been issued for other driving offences, while four fatalities have been recorded.
A total of 170,753 breath tests have been conducted so far.
A 42-year-old man was given $1821 worth of fines and accrued 18 demerit points after three adult passengers and two children, aged seven and 16, were not wearing seatbelts in Lindfield.
In a separate case, a 22-year-old learner driver was fined $3682 and lost his licence and 16 demerit points after driving unaccompanied with no L plates.

What can Biden do to reverse Trump's assault on labor rights?

Soon after Joe Biden is inaugurated as the next US president, he is expected to take several strong steps on the labor front aimed at reversing or remedying the policies of Donald Trump – who promised workers a lot and delivered little.
But Biden’s number one priority will be to tackle the issues left in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Labor, Marty Walsh – the Mayor of Boston and before that a labor leader for decades – is likely to help advance Biden’s promises to help unions expand. Walsh, who had headed Boston’s federation of building trades unions, is expected to support increased spending on infrastructure to upgrade roads and bridges, strengthen the economy and create good-paying jobs. As mayor, he pushed for construction contractors to hire more workers of color.
With Covid-19 still raging across the US, many job safety experts say it’s urgent for Biden to do something that the Trump administration has failed to do: issue nationwide regulations directing businesses to take specific steps to protect their workers from the coronavirus, whether retail, restaurant, factory or construction workers.
Trump’s business-friendly Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha) repeatedly rejected labor unions’ pleas to adopt such safety standards.
“Clearly priority one is an emergency standard for Osha dealing with Covid and equally a focused, full-on press on inspections, enforcement and guidance. It means doing everything Osha hasn’t been doing,” said David Weil, a top labor department official under Barack Obama. “Ultimately the only way we’ll get public safety and reopening is if we get worker safety.”
Weil, now the dean at Brandeis University’s Heller School for Social Policy, said Osha under Biden should get far tougher than Trump’s Osha in holding employers accountable for failing to take steps to minimize Covid. Many worker advocates were dismayed by the modest fines that Trump’s Osha assessed, for instance, a $13,494 penalty against Smithfield’s pork-processing plant in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, where at least 1,294 workers contracted Covid. Smithfield’s parent company had revenues of $24.1bn last year.
Biden has signaled he will take many other pro-worker actions.
Although Trump held himself out as a champion of workers, he did nothing to raise the minimum wage or enact paid leave, while Biden has repeatedly called for a $15 minimum wage and guaranteeing workers 12 weeks’ paid family and medical leave. Biden has also backed far-reaching legislation that would make it easier to unionize, and his appointees to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) are likely to reverse many Trump labor board decisions that made it harder for workers to join unions.
Steven Pitts, a longtime labor economist at the University of California, Berkeley, said Biden should pursue two sets of labor policies. “One is try to raise and protect labor standards like a higher minimum wage and tougher safety rules,” he said. “Second is to build worker power into policy. Too often we focus on the former and not the latter.”
Biden has indicated he will seek to build worker power by strengthening unions. On election day eve, campaigning in western Pennsylvania, he promised to be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen”. In his campaign platform, Biden endorsed the Protecting the Right to Organize Act (Pro Act) which would make it easier for unions to organize workers by, among other things, greatly increasing penalties on corporations that break the law in battling to keep out unions.
Solid Republican opposition, along with a filibuster, blocked efforts by Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to enact pro-union legislation, and it will be similarly difficult for Biden to enact the Pro Act unless he musters 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.
Because Senate Republicans so often vote in line with corporate America’s wishes, it might also be difficult for Biden to get a $15 minimum wage or paid family and medical leave through the Senate.
William Samuel, director of government affairs at AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the US, acknowledges that passing the Pro Act – a huge goal of labor – won’t be easy. He recommends that Biden, in addition to pushing to pass the Pro Act, pursue a parallel strategy: “He should use his bully pulpit to support the right of workers to organize and to shame employers who trample on those rights” – for example, by criticizing Amazon for firing the worker who led a New York walkout over Covid-19 safety.
“There will be lots of obstacles in his [Biden’s] way and we can hope and pray he can use his executive authority and the bully pulpit to advance the cause of workers,” Samuel said.
Because the Senate might be a formidable barrier to pro-union or pro-worker legislation, Samuel says Biden should use federal procurement policy to raise standards for workers. Many worker advocates want Biden to require federal contractors to pay their workers a minimum of $15 an hour and guarantee them two-weeks’ paid medical and family leave.
Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, opposed a California ballot initiative in which voters – swayed in part by a $200m campaign financed by Uber and other app-based companies – approved a measure that categorizes Uber and Lyft drivers and DoorDash delivery workers as independent contractors rather than employees. By defining them as independent contractors, the ballot initiative, known as Proposition 22, means these workers won’t receive state minimum wage or overtime protections, won’t receive paid sick days or unemployment compensation and won’t have their companies reimburse their expenses, like gasoline.
Uber has said it hopes to pass Prop 22-like laws or ballot initiatives to other states. But Pitts said: “How do we find a way to stop the spread of Prop 22 around the country – that’s an important thing.”
Worker advocates hope Biden’s labor department will issue guidance that goes far to trump Prop 22 by saying that under federal minimum wage and overtime laws, Uber and Lyft drivers should be considered employees, not independent contractors, because they are not truly independent: Uber and Lyft have great control over the work the drivers do, and the drivers are not really independently in business for themselves.
Weil, who headed the labor department’s wage and hour administration, said Prop 22’s definition of independent contractors contradicts the definition under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, a 1938 law that creates nationwide minimum wage and overtime protections. “You just can’t decide, ‘I can treat them as independent contractors if that’s counter to what our Fair Labor Standards Act says,’” Weil said.
The Trump administration recently awarded an $810m contract to Uber and Lyft to provide rides to public agencies. Worker advocates say the General Services Administration should use its power to set contract conditions to insist that Uber and Lyft pay their drivers $15 an hour and treat them as employees.
Labor leaders say they hope Biden’s NLRB will reverse many of the anti-union actions taken by Trump’s NLRB – for instance, making it harder for workers at franchises like McDonald’s to unionize, making it harder for small groups of workers at larger establishments to unionize, letting employers prohibit workers from using the company email system to discuss union matters, letting companies bar union organizers from spaces open to the public, like corporate cafeterias.
“It’s going to be a slog to undo all the damage that’s been done the past four years by the Trump majority on the board,” said Wilma Liebman, who was NLRB chair during Obama’s first term. “Their overruling of precedent has been so sweeping. They’ve overruled precedents that went back decades.”
Liebman said the Trump board’s reversals of precedent twisted a pro-worker law, the National Labor Relations Act, in ways that always favored employers. But Republicans say the Trump board was merely undoing what they saw as the unduly pro-union tilt of the Obama board.

Der Bombenanschlag am S-Bahnhof Wehrhahn in Düsseldorf bleibt unaufgeklärt: Zwei Jahrzehnte nach dem Attentat auf eine Gruppe osteuropäischer Sprachschüler ist Ralf S. rechtskräftig freigesprochen worden.
|
Der Bombenanschlag am S-Bahnhof Wehrhahn in Düsseldorf bleibt unaufgeklärt: Zwei Jahrzehnte nach dem Attentat auf eine Gruppe osteuropäischer Sprachschüler ist Ralf S. rechtskräftig freigesprochen worden.
Es ist 15.04 Uhr am 27. Juli 2000, als eine mit TNT gefüllte Rohrbombe am S-Bahnhof Wehrhahn im Osten von Düsseldorf explodiert – neben einer Gruppe osteuropäischer Sprachschüler. Gut zwei Jahrzehnte später warten die überwiegend jüdischen Opfer immer noch auf Gerechtigkeit. Ralf S., als Attentäter verdächtigt, wurde im Juli 2018 vom Düsseldorfer Landgericht freigesprochen. Die Begründung: Es mangele an eindeutigen Beweisen.
Nun hat der Bundesgerichtshof (BGH) das Urteil bestätigt. S. ist damit rechtskräftig freigesprochen. Das Urteil weise keine Rechtsfehler auf, erklärte der BGH in seiner Entscheidung (Az. 3 StR 124/20). Die Beweiswürdigung sei grundsätzlich Sache des Tatrichters und vom Revisionsgericht im Ergebnis hinzunehmen – selbst in Fällen, in denen ein anderer Schluss näher gelegen hätte, sagte der Vorsitzende BGH-Richter Jürgen Schäfer bei der Urteilsverkündung. Damit steht dem Angeklagten nun auch eine Entschädigung zu.
Schäfer sagte, unabhängig vom Ausgang sei in der Verhandlung noch einmal deutlich geworden, wie groß das Leid der Opfer sei. Ihr Leben sei von einer Sekunde auf die andere nicht mehr dasselbe gewesen.
Der Splitterhagel der Explosion hatte etwa hundert Meter weit gereicht, herbeigeeilte Rettungskräfte berichteten von »vielen Bewusstlosen mit großen blutenden Wunden«. Sieben Frauen und drei Männer – sogenannte Kontingentflüchtlinge aus Russland, der Ukraine und Aserbaidschan – erlitten teilweise lebensgefährliche Verletzungen. Ein Bombensplitter tötete das ungeborene Kind im Bauch einer Schwangeren.
Der Anschlag löste bundesweit Entsetzen aus und fachte die Debatte über rechtsextreme Gewalt an. Doch trotz gewaltigen Aufwands der Ermittler blieb der Fall jahrelang offen. Etwa 1500 Menschen wurden befragt, mehr als 300 Spuren verfolgt, gut 450 Beweisstücke gesammelt.
Ralf S., heute 54 Jahre alt, geriet zwar schnell in Verdacht, die Bombe per Fernsteuerung gezündet zu haben – auch weil er direkt gegenüber der Sprachschule einen Militaria-Laden hatte und über Kontakte in die rechtsextreme Szene verfügte. Aber 2002 musste die Staatsanwaltschaft das Verfahren einstellen. Erst Jahre später, als ein früherer Mithäftling behauptete, S. habe ihm die Tat gestanden, nahmen die Ermittlungen wieder Fahrt auf. Es kam schließlich zur Anklage.
Doch der Prozess am Landgericht Düsseldorf bot mehrere überraschende Wendungen, es gab fragwürdige Zeugenaussagen und denkwürdige Auftritte (lesen Sie hier eine Chronik der Ereignisse). Das Verfahren endete mit einem Freispruch.
Grundsätzlich, räumte der Vorsitzende Richter Rainer Drees damals ein, komme S. durchaus als Täter in Betracht. Aber die Beweislage sei zu dürftig gewesen. Zudem habe es in den Zeugenaussagen Ungereimtheiten gegeben. Die Angaben der beiden Mithäftlinge, denen S. die Tat gestanden haben soll, seien nicht tragfähig oder glaubhaft gewesen. Drees sagte aber auch: »Wir haben es uns nicht leicht gemacht mit dem Urteil.«
Oberstaatsanwalt Ralf Herrenbrück hatte in seinem Plädoyer eine lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe für den Angeklagten gefordert. Dem Gericht machte der Chefermittler schwere Vorwürfe, die Kammer habe sich täuschen lassen: S. sei mitnichten nur »ein sich selbst überschätzender Dummschwätzer« – so beschrieb die Verteidigung ihren Mandanten. Herrenbrück legte nach dem Urteil Revision bei den obersten Strafrichtern in Karlsruhe ein.
Der BGH verhandelte Ende November über den Fall. Danach mussten die Opfer bereits befürchten, dass die Revision wenig Aussichten auf Erfolg hat. Denn nicht nur die Verteidigung, sondern auch die Bundesanwaltschaft plädierte dafür, das Urteil nicht aufzuheben. Sie tritt am BGH anstelle der Staatsanwaltschaft auf und muss sich der Revision nicht anschließen.
Einer der Opferanwälte, Juri Rogner, hatte am Rande der Verhandlung gefordert, im Falle einer Bestätigung des Urteils durch den BGH müsse weiter nach dem Täter gesucht werden. Die Nebenkläger seien aber überzeugt davon, dass der Richtige auf der Anklagebank gesessen habe.

Korona virüs ile mücadele kapsamında uygulanan yeni kısıtlama ve tedbirler Malatya’da da meyvesini vermeye başladı. Önceleri ortalama günlük 700 vakanın çıktığı Malatya’da, kısıtlamalar ile birlikte bu sayı 100’lere kadar geriledi. İl Sağlık Müdürü Prof. Recep Bentli ise vatandaşları rehavete karşı uyararak, alınan tedbir ve kurallara uymalarını istedi. Dünyayı kasıp kavuran yeni tip korona virüs (Covid19) ile mücadele kapsamında 30 Kasım itibariyle ülke genelinde başlayan kısıtlama devam ediyor. Alınan tedbirler ile birlikte vaka sayılarında ciddi düşüş kaydedilirken, yetkililer vatandaşları rehavete karşı uyarıyor. Yeni kısıtlamalardan önce günlük vaka sayısının 700’ü bulduğu Malatya'da alınan tedbirler sayesinde bu sayı yaklaşık 100’e kadar düştü. Malatya İl Sağlık Müdürü Prof. Dr. Recep Bentli, kısıtlamalar ile birlikte kentte vaka sayısında düşüş olduğunu belirterek vatandaşları rehavete kapılmamaları konusunda uyardı. Müdür Bentli, “Vatandaşlarımızdan ricamız eğer hasta kendi aracıyla acile başvurabiliyor ise testlerini alıyoruz, ayrıca aracı yoksa bizim sağlık müdürlüğü çağrı merkezini ararlarsa ekiplerimiz gidip testlerini evden alıyor. Vatandaşlarımız buna dikkat etsinler” şeklinde konuştu. Aile içinde bulaşmanın daha fazla artığında ifade eden Bentli, “Kafe ve restoranlar kapandı, bundan dolayı en çok bulaşma yerleri şu an aile içi görünüyor. Bir ailede bir kişi pozitif olursa o aile vaka sayıları yüzde 40 üzerinde oluyor. İşi olmayan ve zorunlu kalmadıkça kimsenin dışarı çıkmasını istemiyoruz. Çıkanlarda maske ve mesafe kuralına mutlaka dikkat etsinler” dedi. Çin’den gelen aşıların ne zaman vurulmaya başlanılacağı konusunda da değerlendirmelerde bulunan Prof. Dr. Bentli, “Malatya’daki gönüllüler üzerinde süren aşı çalışmaları ile ilgili İnönü Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesinden Prof. Dr. Yaşar Bayındır hocamız ile sık sık görüşüyoruz. Bakanlığın açıkladığı yüzde 91.25 güvenilir ve etkin olduğunu gösteren rapor var. Önümüzdeki günlerde de Faz 3 çalışmaları kesin bitmiş olduğunda da raporun yayınlanacağını biliyoruz. Kesinlikle hekim dışı açıklamalara güvenmeyin. İşin uzmanlarına güvenmek ve işin uzmanlarına bu işi bırakmak gerekiyor” diye konuştu. Aşının önemli olduğunu ifade eden Bentli, toplum bağışıklığı yüzde 65’in üzerine çıkmadıkça salgının kontrol altına alınamayacağını söyledi. Bentli, bu yüzden aşı ile ilgili karamsar söylemlerden vazgeçilmesi gerektiğini dile getirdi.

Die Pandemie verhindert auch das traditionelle Jahrestreffen des Weltwirtschaftsforums in Davos. Doch bei aller Sorge vor den wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Folgen - das WEF sieht schlimmere Gefahren als Corona.
|
Die Pandemie verhindert auch das traditionelle Jahrestreffen des Weltwirtschaftsforums in Davos. Doch bei aller Sorge vor den wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und politischen Folgen - das WEF sieht schlimmere Gefahren als Corona.
Genf/London (dpa) - «It's the climate» - es geht um das Klima! Es wirkt, als wolle das Weltwirtschaftsforum (WEF) den alten Wahlkampfspruch des früheren US-Präsidenten Bill Clinton über den Vorrang der Wirtschaft in abgewandelter Form wiederbeleben.
Denn die Antwort des WEF auf alle Gefahren und damit auch auf die Corona-Pandemie lautet: mehr Klimaschutz. Gedeckt wird dies vom Weltrisikobericht, den das WEF vorstellte. Demnach gelten extreme Wetterereignisse, Versagen im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel und menschengemachte Umweltschäden weiter als größte Gefahren.
Diese Haltung wird sicher auch die Umweltaktivistin Greta Thunberg vertreten. Die Schwedin soll in der kommenden Woche an der Online-Konferenz «Davos Agenda» teilnehmen, die anstelle des Jahrestreffens im Schweizer Alpenort Davos stattfindet. Thunberg werde ein Video und einen Podcast mit dem Social-Media-Team des WEF für die Veranstaltung machen, erfuhr die Deutsche Presse-Agentur aus dem Umfeld der 18-Jährigen.
Allerdings hinterlässt die Pandemie ihre Spuren im Bericht, den das WEF zusammen mit dem Versicherer Zurich, dem Risikoberater Marsh und dem Mischkonzern SK Group aufbereitet. Erstmals in seiner Geschichte untersucht die Studie dabei, welche Risiken wann als Bedrohung für die Welt gesehen werden. Demnach gelten - sicher unter dem Einfluss der Corona-Krise - Pandemien als kurzfristigste Risiken. Das deckt sich mit dem Risikobarometer des Versicherungskonzerns Allianz.
Dabei sind Pandemien im Vergleich zum Vorjahr vom 17. auf den 2. Platz empor geschossen, wie die Fachleute des zu dem Münchner Konzern gehörenden Industrieversicherers AGCS in ihrer jährlichen Umfrage unter 2769 Experten für Unternehmensgefahren aller Art aus 92 Ländern ermittelt haben. Die Umfrage wurde veröffentlicht. Auf Platz eins liegen demnach Betriebsunterbrechungen, auf Rang drei Hackerangriffe, die im Vorjahr noch als größtes Risiko für Unternehmen galten. Befragt wurden Geschäftsführer und Vorstände, Risikomanager, Makler und Versicherungsexperten.
Das WEF und seine Partner betonen, dass beim Wiederaufbau von Gesellschaft und Wirtschaft nach der Pandemie der Klimaschutz zwingend berücksichtigt werden müsse. Unausgegorene Maßnahmen bedrohten den Kampf gegen den Klimawandel. «Es gibt keinen Impfstoff gegen Klimarisiken», sagte Peter Giger, Risiko-Chef des Versicherungskonzerns Zurich.
WEF-Managerin Saadia Zahidi mahnte Regierungen, Unternehmen und Gesellschaften zur Zusammenarbeit. Denn auch soziale Spaltung sowie digitale Benachteiligung hätten Auswirkungen auf den Umweltschutz. «Untätigkeit gegen wirtschaftliche Ungleichheiten und gesellschaftliche Spaltung kann Maßnahmen gegen den Klimawandel weiter behindern, der immer noch eine existenzielle Bedrohung für die Menschheit ist.»
Das passt zum Motto des WEF: «Den Zustand der Welt verbessern.» Zahidi betonte, es müssten neue wirtschaftliche und soziale Systeme gestaltet werden, «die unsere kollektive Widerstandsfähigkeit» verbessern. Die Corona-Pandemie habe Millionen Leben gekostet sowie die langjährigen gesundheitlichen, wirtschaftlichen und digitalen Unterschiede noch vergrößert.
So sieht der Weltrisikobericht auch kurzfristige Gefahren in Arbeitsmarktkrisen und digitaler Ungleichheit. Mittelfristig gilt die Angst vor wirtschaftlichen und technologischen Risiken, langfristig - und damit existenziell - ist die Furcht groß vor Massenvernichtungswaffen, dem Zusammenbruch von Staaten und dem Verlust biologischer Vielfalt. Vor allem soziale Gefahren bereiten dem WEF Sorgen. Wenn die Kluft zwischen Menschen mit Zugang zu Technologien und digitaler Kompetenz und denjenigen ohne zunehme, werde dies vor allem die Zukunft junger Leute gefährden.
Der Weltrisikobericht gilt als eine Grundlage für die Debatten während der «Davos Agenda». Vom 25. Januar an diskutieren Vertreter aus Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft über aktuelle Fragen. Geplant sind auch Ansprachen führender Staats- und Regierungschefs, etwa von Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel. Ein physisches Treffen ist für Ende Mai in Singapur geplant. Dort sollen die Diskussionen des Online-Formats einfließen - sicher auch der Klimawandel.
Bei der Allianz sind sie sicher, dass die Pandemie den Klimaschutz nicht dauerhaft aus den Schlagzeilen verdrängen wird. Im Gegenteil: «Mit der Umsetzung der Impfprogramme wird die Pandemie beherrschbarer werden, und der Klimawandel wird im Jahr 2021 wieder als Priorität auf der Agenda des Managements stehen», sagte Michael Bruch, globaler Leiter für Nachhaltigkeitsthemen bei AGCS.

HBO really need Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon to land soon as fans of the franchise have deserted the broadcaster in their droves in 2020.

HBO really need Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon to land soon as fans of the franchise have deserted the broadcaster in their droves in 2020.
Since Game of Thrones crashed and burned in its disastrous finale, more than half of the network’s adult linear (watching shows at a scheduled time) 18-49 audiences have vanished.
While many rival channels reported similar losses – Starz and Showtime were stung by 16 percent and 19 percent losses respectively – few suffered quite like HBO.
However, according to Variety, Cable networks such as CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox saw a boost in linear ratings, due partly to news coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
Altogether, HBO suffered a huge 52 percent drop in viewers between 18-49 months after Bran Stark was somehow named as the ruler of the Six Kingdoms.
Basically, it appears the network could really do with a boost from the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel expected to air in 2022.
Loosely based on George R.R. Martin’s novella Fire & Blood, House of The Dragon will explore the Targaryen family history.
Already, cast for the series is shaping up nicely with Doctor Who’s Matt Smith, Paddy Considine and Olivia Cooke all confirmed for major roles.
So it’s no wonder HBO Content Officer Casey Bloys confirmed more breakout Game of Thrones series are incoming.
‘Those are fantastic properties that are decades and decades old,’ he told Variety.

AKK kritisiert SPD im Impfstreit: "Anscheinend den Weg der Vernunft verlassen"
Samstag, 07.34 Uhr: Im Streit um die Impfstrategie hat CDU-Chefin Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer dem Koalitionspartner SPD vorgeworfen, in den Wahlkampf-Modus umgeschaltet zu haben. Inmitten der Pandemie betreibe die Partei mit der Debatte über das Impfen Wahlkampf, kritisierte Kramp-Karrenbauer in der "Saarbrücker Zeitung" (Samstagsausgabe). Die SPD habe "anscheinend den Weg der Vernunft verlassen".
Mehrere SPD-Politiker, darunter auch Finanzminister Olaf Scholz, hatten Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (CDU) öffentlich wegen des schleppenden Impfstarts und Engpässen bei der Impfstoffversorgung kritisiert. Kramp-Karrenbauer sagte, die Angriffe würden der SPD nicht helfen, sie schadeten aber der Bekämpfung des Coronavirus, "weil es die Verunsicherung schürt". Sie forderte den Koalitionspartner auf, sich wieder auf die "Verantwortung fürs Land" zu konzentrieren.
Auch CSU-Generalsekretär Markus Blume griff die SPD wegen ihrer Attacken auf den Koalitionspartner scharf an. "Wer mitten in der größten Krise seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg von Corona-Kampf auf Wahlkampf umschaltet, der muss sich fragen lassen, ob er das Format für größere Aufgaben hat", sagte Blume der "Rheinischen Post". Die SPD versuche sich gedanklich bereits auf die Oppositionsarbeit vorzubereiten. "Das tut dem Land nicht gut", betonte der CSU-Politiker.
Geimpfte sollen von Testpflicht für Reiserückkehrer befreit werden
22.28 Uhr: Deutsche, die gegen das Coronavirus geimpft sind, sollen künftig von der Testpflicht für Reiserückkehrer befreit werden. Das berichtet das „Handelsblatt“ in seiner Samstagsausgabe. Gleiches soll demnach auch für diejenigen gelten, die eine Corona-Infektion bereits überstanden haben.
Die Zeitung berief sich auf die vom Bundesinnen- und vom Gesundheitsministerium erarbeitete neue Musterverordnung, die zur Umsetzung an die Länder weitergeleitet worden sei. Unter anderem sei darin die Umsetzung des Bund-Länder-Beschlusses vom Dienstag enthalten, wonach ein zusätzlicher Corona-Test bei der Einreise aus Risikogebieten verlangt wird. Dem Beschluss zufolge soll dieser Test entweder direkt bei der Ankunft oder innerhalb von 48 Stunden vor der Einreise erfolgen.
Weiterhin gelte allerdings für alle Reiserückkehrer aus Risikogebieten die Pflicht, sich einer zehntägigen Quarantäne zu unterziehen. Diese könne frühestens fünf Tage nach der Rückkehr durch einen weiteren Corona-Test verkürzt werden.
Spahn fragt Pharmaverbände nach Impfstoff-Produktionskapazitäten
18.44 Uhr: Nach harscher Kritik an der zögerlich anlaufenden Corona-Impfkampagne hat sich das Bundesgesundheitsministerium offenbar erstmals in einem Brief bei fünf Pharmaverbänden erkundigt, ob es Unternehmen gibt, die bei der Produktion von Impfstoffen helfen können. Das Schreiben aus dem Ministerium des CDU-Politikers Jens Spahn liegt dem Nachrichtenportal "t-online" vor.Der Brief ist auf den 7. Januar 2021 datiert. Aus drei Verbänden hieß es, ihnen sei nicht bekannt, dass das Ministerium in der Pandemie schon einmal eine derartige Anfrage an sie gerichtet habe. Das Ministerium selbst ließ die Frage am Freitag unbeantwortet, warum man in dieser Form nicht schon früher über die Verbände die Möglichkeiten der Unternehmen systematisch abgefragt habe. In dem Brief, den ein Staatssekretär des Ministeriums geschrieben hat, heißt es wörtlich: "Ich wäre Ihnen dankbar, wenn Sie mir mitteilen könnten, ob es in Ihrem Verband Unternehmen gibt, die zu einer Erhöhung der Produktion von COVID-19-Impfstoffen beitragen können oder sich bereits hierum bemühen." Zugleich wird die Hilfe des Staates in Aussicht gestellt: "Gemeinsam mit Ihnen, den Unternehmen, und den zuständigen Landesbehörden wird das Bundesministerium für Gesundheit soweit möglich notwendige Unterstützung leisten."
Der Staatssekretär ist sich des Zeitdrucks offenbar bewusst. Bevor der Brief "mit freundlichen Grüßen" schließt, bittet er um "eine kurzfristige Rückmeldung", die "es uns schnell ermöglicht, hier gemeinsam tätig zu werden".
Probleme bei Dokumentation der Corona-Impfungen in Bayern
15.10 Uhr: Bei der Dokumentation der Impfungen gegen das Coronavirus gibt es in Bayern Schwierigkeiten. Für mindestens 1000 verabreichte Impfdosen gab es in der speziell für die Pandemie entwickelten Software zuletzt keinen Nachweis.
Dies geht aus einer internen Behörden-E-Mail hervor. Vom Gesundheitsministerium in München waren am Freitag zunächst keine Informationen zu dem Problem zu erhalten. Das Ministerium hatte allerdings eine spätere Stellungnahme angekündigt.
Wie es in der E-Mail der Regierung von Unterfranken heißt, hat das Ministerium am Donnerstag die Regierungspräsidenten auf die mangelhafte Dokumentation hingewiesen. "So sei für eine bayernweit vierstellige Zahl von zugewiesenen Impfdosen die Verimpfung bislang nicht nachgewiesen", heißt es in der Mail. Die Kommunen wurden darauf hingewiesen, dass für die vorgeschriebene Dokumentation auf jeden Fall die Software "BayIMCO" verwendet werden müsse.
Moderna-Impfstoff kommt am Dienstag in Deutschland an
13.52 Uhr: Die Corona-Impfungen mit dem zweiten in Europa zulassenen Impfstoff, dem des US-Herstellers Moderna, können in der kommenden Woche in Deutschland beginnen. Die Länder sollten die erste Lieferung des Präparats am Dienstag erhalten, teilte ein Sprecher des Bundesgesundheitsministeriums am Freitag auf Anfrage der Deutschen Presse-Agentur in Berlin mit.
Von den mehr als 160 Millionen EU-weit bestellten Moderna-Dosen soll Deutschland über 50 Millionen erhalten. Im ersten Quartal sollen wegen der zunächst begrenzten Produktionskapazitäten nur knapp zwei Millionen Moderna-Dosen nach Deutschland kommen. Die gesamten 160 Millionen Dosen sollen nach Angaben der EU-Kommission bis September geliefert werden.
Moderna-Impfstoff gegen Corona ist jetzt auch in UK zugelassen
13.50 Uhr: Nach der EU hat auch Großbritannien den Corona-Impfstoff des US-Herstellers Moderna zugelassen. Die zuständige Behörde habe dem Vakzin eine Zulassung erteilt, teilte die britische Regierung am Freitag in London mit. Nach dem Vakzin von Biontech/Pfizer sowie dem heimischen Impfstoff der Universität Oxford und dem Konzern Astrazeneca ist es bereits das dritte Präparat, das im Land geimpft werden darf. Großbritannien hat 17 Millionen Dosen des Moderna-Mittels geordert.
Ab sofort sechs statt fünf Impfungen pro Biontech-Ampulle möglich
12.15 Uhr: Ab sofort können mehr Menschen mit dem Impfstoff aus einer Ampulle der Hersteller Biontech und Pfizer geimpft werden. Die europäische Arzneimittelbehörde EMA habe zugelassen, dass sechs statt bisher fünf Dosen aus einer Ampulle gezogen werden dürfen, sagte ein Sprecher des Bundesgesundheitsministeriums am Freitag in Berlin. Zuvor hatte bereits Hamburg verkündet, dass man die sechste Dosis pro Fläschchen ab sofort nutzen möchte, sobald das zugelassen ist (siehe Meldung um 11.59 Uhr).
Die Fläschchen werden vom Hersteller um 20 Prozent "überfüllt" geliefert. Da bis dato nur eine Zulassung für die Verimpfung von fünf Dosen vorlag, musste die enthaltenede sechste Dose des Biontech/Pfizer-Vakzins entsorgt werden. Der Hersteller selbst hatte bereits zuvor angegeben, dass sechs Dosen der Schutzimpfung aus einer Ampulle verwendet werden können.
20 Prozent mehr Impfungen möglich: Hamburg nutzt jetzt sechste Dosis von Biontech/Pfizer-Vakzin
11.59 Uhr: In Hamburg erhalten ab sofort mehr Menschen aus dem bereits verfügbaren Impfstoff eine Corona-Schutzimpfung. Wie der Sprecher der Gesundheitsbehörde der Deutschen Presse-Agentur am Freitag sagte, werde man den Fläschen, in denen der Impfstoff von Biontech/Pfizer abgefüllt ist, nun sechs statt fünf Dosen entnehmen. "Auf Grundlage von Auskünften des Bundesgesundheitsministeriums und der entsprechenden Zulassung wird Hamburg nun beginnen, die verfügbare sechste Dosis zu verwenden, um keine Impfstoffmengen zu verschwenden", sagte Martin Helfrich.
Die Fläschen werden vom Hersteller "überfüllt" geliefert. Da die Zulassung aber nur für die Entnahme von fünf Dosen erfolgte, musste die Restmenge bislang mit den Flaschen entsorgt werden. Der Leiter des zentralen Impfezentrums in den Hamburger Messehallen, Dirk Heinrich, sprach von einer "wunderbaren Nachricht. Das heißt, wir können 20 Prozent mehr Menschen impfen", sagte er der dpa.
Entwickler: Deutscher Biologika-Impfstoff in erster Studie "unter Erwartungen"
11.13 Uhr: Der Corona-Impfstoff des deutschen Entwicklers IDT Biologika aus Dessau ist in einer ersten Studie unter den Erwartungen geblieben. Das berichtet die Nachrichtenagentur AFP unter berufung auf die Entwickler.
Seit Sommer 2020 wird das Unternehmen von der Bundesregierung gefördert und hat im November 2020 schon 113 Millionen Euro an Zuwendungen bekommen, wie Jens Spahn damals berichtete. Außerdem sei ein Vertrag über die Abnahme von fünf Millionen Impfdosen geschlossen worden. Mit einer Zulassung über ein beschleunigtes Verfahren werde gegen Ende 2021 gerechnet, die Produktion soll in der Jahresmitte starten.
Von der Leyen: Vertrag über mehr Biontech/Pfizer-Impfstoff steht
10.08 Uhr: Die EU-Kommission hat einen Vertrag über weitere bis zu 300 Millionen Dosen des Corona-Impfstoffs der Mainzer Firma Biontech und ihres US-Partners Pfizer abgeschlossen. 75 Millionen Dosen davon sollten bereits im zweiten Quartal 2021 zur Verfügung stehen, sagte EU-Kommissionschefin Ursula von der Leyen am Freitag in Brüssel.
Der neue Vertrag folgt auf Klagen über Knappheit von Impfstoff in Deutschland und anderen EU-Staaten. Sowohl Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (CDU) als auch die EU-Kommission standen in der Kritik. Das Biontech/Pfizer-Präparat war am 21. Dezember als erster Corona-Impfstoff in der EU zugelassen worden. Am Mittwoch wurde auch das Mittel des US-Herstellers Moderna genehmigt.
Bereits im November hatte die EU-Kommission für alle 27 Staaten bis zu 300 Millionen Impfstoffdosen von Biontech/Pfizer bestellt - eine feste Bestellung von 200 Millionen Dosen und eine Option auf 100 Millionen weitere, die vor kurzem gezogen wurde. Sowohl Biontech als auch die EU-Kommission hatten zuletzt bestätigt, dass über weitere Lieferungen verhandelt werde.

Pfizer-Studie zeigt: Corona-Impfstoff von Biontech und Pfizer schützt angeblich gegen 16 Mutationen
Freitag, 8. Januar, 06.15 Uhr: Laut einem Bericht der Nachrichtenagentur "Reuters" scheint der Impfstoff der Unternehmen Biontech und Pfizer auch gegen die in Großbritannien und Südafrika entdeckten Coronavirus-Varianten zu wirken. "Wir haben jetzt 16 verschiedene Mutationen getestet, von denen keine wirklich signifikante Auswirkungen hatte. Das sind die guten Nachrichten", erklärte einer der führenden Wissenschaftler für virale Impfstoffe bei Pfizer. Und weiter: "Das heißt aber nicht, dass die 17. keine Auswirkungen haben wird."
Bei der Studie von Pfizer und der medizinischen Abteilung der Universität Texas untersuchten Wissenschaftler das Blut von Menschen, denen der Biontech-Impfstoff verabreicht wurde. Die Untersuchung zeige, dass der Impfstoff das Virus auch bei einer Veränderung am sogenannten Spike-Protein wirksam neutralisiere, heißt es im "Reuters"-Bericht. Bisher sei die Studie jedoch noch nicht von Fachleuten begutachtet worden.
Corona-Impfung: Zusammen mit Bayer hofft Curevac auf Impfstoff-Freigabe im Sommer
14.44 Uhr: Das Tübinger Biotech-Unternehmen Curevac hofft durch die Kooperation mit dem Pharmakonzern Bayer, seinen Corona-Impfstoff noch in diesem Sommer einsetzen zu können. "Wir hoffen, dass unser Impfstoff Mitte des laufenden Jahres oder im dritten Quartal zugelassen wird und eingesetzt werden kann", sagte der Curevac-Sprecher Thorsten Schüller der "Augsburger Allgemeinen" (Freitag).
Noch sei offen, ob Bayer neben der Hilfe zur marktreifen Entwicklung auch die Herstellung des Impfstoffs mit übernimmt, hieß es. Eine Produktion des Impfstoffs ist nicht Teil des aktuellen Kooperationsvertrags. Bayer habe jedoch zugesagt, zu prüfen, ob es möglich wäre, das Vakzin in seinen Produktionsanlagen herzustellen, so der Sprecher.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern an der Spitze: RKI meldet bundesweit 417.000 erfasste Impfungen
12.56 Uhr: Die Zahl der ans Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) gemeldeten Impfungen gegen Covid-19 in Deutschland ist im Vergleich zum Vortag um mehr als 46.000 gestiegen. Seit dem Beginn der Impfkampagne Ende Dezember ist das Mittel damit nun mindestens 417.060 Menschen gespritzt worden. Diese Gesamtzahl ergibt sich aus bisherigen Meldungen der Bundesländer, wie aus einer RKI-Statistik vom Donnerstag (Stand: 11.00 Uhr) hervorgeht. Pro 1000 Einwohner sind bundesweit demnach bisher fünf Menschen gegen die Krankheit geimpft worden.
Die meisten Impfungen pro 1000 Einwohner wurden laut der Statistik bisher für Mecklenburg-Vorpommern erfasst (13,5), die wenigsten für Thüringen (2,5). In absoluten Zahlen kommt Bayern auf den höchsten Wert von mehr als 84.000 Geimpften laut RKI. Die Werte, die den Behörden der einzelnen Bundesländer vorliegen, können deutlich höher liegen als die vom RKI gemeldeten, da die Meldungen teilweise mit einigem Verzug an das Institut übermittelt werden.
Die meisten Menschen - mehr als 201.000 - wurden laut RKI-Daten aus beruflichen Gründen geimpft. Zudem wurde das Präparat inzwischen mehr als 168.000 Bewohnern von Pflegeheimen verabreicht.
Corona-Impfung: Unbekannter klingelt bei 82-Jähriger und gibt sich als Impfarzt aus
11.35 Uhr: Ein mutmaßlicher Trickdieb hat sich in Neuwied als Impfarzt ausgegeben. Der Unbekannte habe an der Tür einer 82-Jährigen geklingelt und vorgegeben, er müsse bei ihr zur Vorbereitung einer Corona-Impfung einen Arm-Abstrich vornehmen, teilte die Polizei am Donnerstag mit.
Die Frau ließ sich darauf ein, auch, sich im Badezimmer die Unterarme zu waschen. Während dieser Zeit sei der Mann alleine im Wohnzimmer geblieben. Nach dem "Abstrich" verschwand der Unbekannte mit der Ankündigung, die 82-Jährige werde wegen eines Impftermins angeschrieben. Gestohlen wurde nach ersten Erkenntnissen nichts.
Kinderärzte fordern schnelle Impfung auch für Minderjährige
Donnerstag, 7. Januar, 09.00 Uhr: Deutschlands Kinderärzte fordern schnellstmögliche Corona-Impfungen für Kinder, damit Kitas und Schulen wieder geöffnet werden können. Kinder und Jugendliche hätten es in der Pandemie von Beginn an besonders schwer: "Dass sie nun auch beim Impfen hinten anstehen - und die Schulen deswegen weiter dichtbleiben - ist daher doppelt bitter", sagte der Präsident des Berufsverbandes der Kinder- und Jugendärzte (BVKJ), Thomas Fischbach, der "Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung". "Daher erwarten wir, dass beim Impfen für Kinder mehr Tempo gemacht wird, um endlich die Situation an Schulen und Kitas dauerhaft zu entspannen."
Es sei problematisch, "dass die Zulassung eines Impfstoffs für Kinder in der gegenwärtigen Aufgeregtheit über die Impfstoffknappheit für Erwachsene aus dem Blick gerät", kritisierte Fischbach. "Es braucht so schnell wie möglich auch geeignete Vakzine für Kinder und Jugendliche, die Testung und Zulassung sollte daher mit Hochdruck vorangetrieben werden."
Zudem warf Fischbach Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (CDU) vor, den 16- und 17-Jährigen die zugelassenen Impfstoffe vorzuenthalten. "Jeder Bürger und jede Bürgerin hat Anspruch auf verfügbare und zugelassenen Impfstoffe. Von daher ist es schwer nachvollziehbar, dass die 16- und 17-Jährigen vorerst komplett außen vor bleiben." Der Staat sei in der Pflicht, auch ihnen mit angemessener Priorität Zugang zu den für sie schon zugelassenen Impfstoffen zu gewähren.
Bericht: Curevac und Bayer planen Impfstoff-Allianz
23.15 Uhr: Das Tübinger Unternehmen Curevac und der Chemiekonzern Bayer wollen laut einem Medienbericht bei Weiterentwicklung, Produktion und Vertrieb eines Corona-Impfstoffes zusammenarbeiten. Ziel sei es, den Impfstoff nach einer Zulassung möglichst schnell und breit auf den Markt geben zu können, berichtete das Nachrichtenportal "ThePioneer". Der Bericht wurde der Deutschen Presse-Agentur in Regierungskreisen bestätigt. Eine solche "nationale Impfallianz" könne die Impfsituation in Deutschland beschleunigen und helfen, dass bis zum Sommer alle geimpft würden, die es wollten, schreibt das "ThePioneer".
Eine entsprechende Kooperation war diesem Bericht zufolge Thema in einem Gespräch zwischen Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel mit Gesundheitsminister Jens Spahn, Wirtschaftsminister Peter Altmaier, Kanzleramtschef Helge Braun (alle CDU) und Vizekanzler Olaf Scholz (SPD) am Mittwochmorgen. Demnach solle das Biotechnologieunternehmen von der Organisations- und Logistikmacht des Chemiekonzerns profitieren. Auch eine Produktion des Curevac-Impfstoffes in einem US-amerikanischen Bayer-Werk sei im Gespräch, hieß es.
Im Dezember hatte Curevac grünes Licht für den Start seiner zulassungsrelevanten klinischen Phase-III-Studie erhalten. Mit ersten Ergebnissen der Studie rechnet Curevac nach früheren Angaben eines Sprechers Ende des ersten Quartals 2021. Für die geplante Markteinführung des Impfstoffs gegen Covid-19 ist, neben einer Erweiterung der Herstellungserlaubnis, auch eine Zulassung durch die EU-Kommission erforderlich.
Offiziell: Auch Moderna-Impfstoff in der EU zugelassen
16.46 Uhr: Als zweiter Corona-Impfstoff ist ab sofort auch das Mittel des US-Herstellers Moderna in der Europäischen Union zugelassen. Dies entschied die EU-Kommission am Mittwoch auf Empfehlung der Arzneimittelbehörde EMA, wie Kommissionschefin Ursula von der Leyen auf Twitter mitteilte.
So viele Biontech-Impfdosen bekommt jedes Bundesland
13.41 Uhr: Der Corona-Impfstoff ist knapp in Deutschland, die Kritik am Krisenmanagement der Bundesregierung aus den Ländern groß. Eine Tabelle aus Kreisen einer Landesregierung, die dem Nachrichtenportal "t-online" vorliegt, zeigt nun erstmals, wie der Bund das begehrte Gut in den nächsten Wochen verteilen will.
Die Tabelle stammt nach Informationen von "t-online" aus dem Haus von Bundesgesundheitsminister Jens Spahn (CDU).Insgesamt sollen demnach vom 8. Januar bis 16. Februar pro Woche 668.000 Dosen Biontech-Impfstoff auf die 16 Bundesländer verteilt werden. Insgesamt geht es um knapp 4,2 Millionen Impfdosen, die wie folgt aufgeteilt werden:
EMA empfiehlt Zulassung des Moderna-Impfstoffes
13.21 Uhr: Die Europäische Arzneimittel-Agentur (EMA) hat die bedingte Marktzulassung für den Corona-Impfstoff des US-Pharma-Unternehmens Moderna empfohlen. Das teilte die EMA am Mittwoch in Amsterdam mit. Die endgültige Entscheidung über die Zulassung muss nun die EU-Kommission treffen - das gilt als Formsache.
RKI meldet offenbar veraltete Impfdaten - weil die Bundesländer lieber Mails schicken
Mittwoch, 6. Januar, 08.45 Uhr: Für den Impfstart in Deutschland hatte das Robert-Koch-Institut extra noch ein Meldesystem entwickelt, über das die Bundesländer aktuelle Zahlen melden können. Doch offenbar nutzen die Länder das System gar nicht, sondern verschicken lieber Mails mit dem aktuellen Stand. Das geht aus einem Bericht der „Welt“ hervor.
Demnach habe die Zeitung beim RKI angefragt, wie viele der Länder das System denn nutzen würden. Die ernüchternde Antwort: „Mindestens eins.“ Eine RKI-Sprecherin erklärte der Zeitung: „Einige Länder warten damit noch auf weitere technische Spezifikationen, die demnächst zur Verfügung stehen sollen.“ Den Ländern sei das System offenbar nicht sicher genug, das RKI weist derartige Bedenken zurück.
Aufgekommen war die Frage, als Thüringens Ministerpräsident Bodo Ramelow (Linke) auf Twitter erklärte, die vom RKI angegeben Impfdaten für sein Land seien falsch und zu niedrig. Statt der angegeben 810 seien bereits 1711 Impfungen durchgeführt worden. Mittlerweile sind es laut RKI 2715 Impfungen in Thüringen. Gerechnet pro 1000 Einwohner liegt das Land damit mit Brandenburg auf einem geteilten vorletzten Platz (1,3 Impfungen pro 1000 Einwohner). Nur Niedersachsen (1,1) weist einen niedrigeren Wert auf.

Antalya’da yılın 365 günü denize giren 65 yaş üstü vatandaşlar, görenleri kendilerine hayran bıraktı. Denize giren vatandaşlar arasındaki 70 yaşında omurgası olmayan Şükrü Arslaner, her gün sürünerek denize geldiğini ve deniz keşine dönüştüğünü söyledi. Antalya Konyaaltı plajında bir grup 65 yaş üstü vatandaş, yılın 365 günü denize giriyor. Yaşları 70 ila 90 arasında değişen vatandaşlar görenleri kendilerine hayran bıraktı. Kar, kış, soğuk, sıcak demeden yılın 365 günü denize girdiklerini söyleyen vatandaşlar, dalgalı günlerde de gelip denizi izliyor. Denize giren vatandaşlar arasında olan Şükrü Arslaner (70), 2003 yılında geçirdiği ameliyat sonrası omurgasını kaybedip bitkisel hayata girdiğini ve 21 gün sonra hayata döndüğünü söyledi. Omurgasını kaybeden Arslaner, hayata döndüğü günden beri her gün Konyaaltı plajına gelip denize girdiğini belirtti. “Sülalemizde yaşayan en yaşlı insanım” Denize giren vatandaşlardan 81 yaşındaki İlyas Çetinyürek, “Burada yaz kış denize giriyoruz. Sporumuzu yapıp yürüyüş yapıyoruz. Biz burada senelerdir denize giriyoruz. Bir grubumuz var, ben bu gruba 17 sene önce katıldım. Birçok arkadaşımız vefat etti. Sülalemizde yaşayan en yaşlı insanım. Bunu spora ve denize girmeye borçluyum” dedi. “Bu zamana kadar yaşamamın sebebini denize ve yüzmeye borçluyum” 81 yaşına kadar yaşamasını denize ve spora borçlu olduğunu söyleyen Çetinyürek, “Devamlı girdiğimiz için üşümüyoruz. Hemen hemen her gün buradayız. Dalga olunca bile gelip bakarak hasret gideriyoruz. Ben aynı zamanda 2003’den beri kanser hastayım. Ameliyat oldum, radyoterapi gördüm bu zamana kadar yaşamamın sebebini denize ve yüzmeye borçluyum” diye konuştu. “Buraya çift bastonla sürünerek geliyorum” Omurgası olmadığı için her gün denize bastonla sürünerek geldiğini belirten 70 yaşındaki Şükrü Arslaner, “Benim iki tane omurgam yok. Ameliyat oldum, eksi oldum ve 21 gün sonra hayata tekrar döndüm. Doktorlar yaşamamı beklemiyordu, ben sporla, yüzmekle kendime geldim. Buraya çift bastonla sürünerek geliyorum. İnat ederek denizde, yürüyüşte uğraşarak mücadele vererek kendimi küllerinden yeniden ayağa kaldırdım. Spor ve deniz insanlar için ekmek ve su gibi önemli. Deniz büyük bir nimet. Türkiye için, Antalya için. Herkese tavsiye ediyorum gelip yüzmelerini” şeklinde konuştu. “Ameliyattan sonra Konyaaltı sahiline geliyorum her gün” 2003 yılında geçirdiği ameliyattan sonra her gün denize girdiğini söyleyen Arslaner, “2003’de ameliyat oldum. Ameliyattan sonra Konyaaltı sahiline geliyorum her gün. Her sabah geliyorum öğlene kadar denize giriyoruz, sohbet ediyoruz arkadaşlarla. Bana deniz ve yüzmek çok iyi geldi. Adeta dirildim. Ben deniz keşiyim. Denizkolik oldum, gelmeden yapamıyorum” ifadelerini kullandı.

In meiner Zelle habe ich nicht aufgehört, darüber nachzudenken, was ich in acht Jahren Aktivismus gelernt habe. Ich erinnere mich lebhaft an das, was ich allein 2020 beim Kampf für Demokratie in Hongkong erlebt habe: die Einführung des nationalen Sicherheitsgesetzes, den Abschied von engen Mitstreitern, den abrupten Abbruch der Wahl nach einem überwältigen demokratischen Sieg in den Vorwahlen. All das hat sich tief in mein Gedächtnis eingebrannt.
Nichts davon kam jedoch so überraschend wie meine Verlegung ins Hochsicherheitsgefängnis Shek Pik kurz vor Weihnachten. Während ich durch das winzige Fenster des Gefangenentransporters beobachtete, wie der geschäftige Verkehr auf der Lai Chi Kok Road langsam von der Ruhe der Landschaften der Insel Lantau abgelöst wird, machten mich die Ketten um meine Taille fassungslos. Ich kann mir kaum vorstellen, was für ein Leben vor mir liegt.
Am 21. Dezember hatte ich nach sorgfältiger Abwägung mit meinen Anwälten entschieden, keine Berufung gegen meine Verurteilung einzulegen. Doch als mir die Verlegung nach Shek Pik mitgeteilt wurde, war mein Kopf einen Moment lang komplett leer. Welchen Sinn hat es, einen Inhaftierten, der in weniger als 12 Monaten entlassen werden soll, in ein Hochsicherheitsgefängnis zu stecken?
Dann legte mir ein Aufseher zusätzlich zu den Handschellen noch Ketten an. Nichts ist erniedrigender, als in Eisenketten gelegt zu werden. Die Demütigung ist unbeschreiblich. Auch andere Aktivisten wurden als Gefangene der Kategorie A eingestuft und mussten diese Behandlung über sich ergehen lassen. Eiskalt und unbarmherzig streiften die Eisenketten beim Gehen meine Haut. Ketten sollen vor allem die Bewegungsfreiheit einschränken, aber sie beeinträchtigen auch die Freiheit des Geistes.
Ich war schon drei Mal im Gefängnis, aber dieses Mal ist es ganz anders. Früher habe ich immer die Tage bis zu meiner Freilassung gezählt und auf einem Kalender durchgestrichen. Das traue ich mich diesmal nicht. Zusätzlich zu meiner aktuellen Haftstrafe sind noch zwei weitere Anklagen anhängig; ganz zu schweigen von der unvorhersehbaren Anzahl von Verstößen, die man mir nach dem neuen Sicherheitsgesetz womöglich vorwerfen wird.
Es gibt kein festes Entlassungsdatum für mich. Im Traum habe ich schon ein paar Mal meine Familie und meine liebsten Menschen gesehen. Wir saßen nach einem langen Arbeitstag auf der Couch und guckten Netflix oder spielten mit meinem kleinen Hund, einem Corgi. Manchmal frage ich mich, ob er mich wohl noch erkennen wird, wenn ich eines Tages freikomme.
Unter dem Zwang der Gefängnisroutine und getrennt von Freunden und Familie läuft man Gefahr, sich der Gleichschaltung zu unterwerfen. Das ist der Zweck der Haftstrafen, die jedes totalitäre System demokratischen Aktivisten auferlegt. Umso dankbarer bin ich für die Unterstützung meiner Lieben.
Ihre Briefe helfen gegen das Gefühl der Ohnmacht und Orientierungslosigkeit, und ich lerne, mit den verschiedenen Herausforderungen im Gefängnis umzugehen. Trotzdem muss ich sie am Ende alleine überwinden. Jeden Morgen nehme ich mir fest vor, mein Bestes zu geben – egal, wie unberechenbar die Welt noch wird.
Behalten Sie uns in diesen Zeiten der Finsternis in Ihren Gedanken, die vielen inhaftierten Hongkonger, die nicht aufgeben. Glück mag vielleicht ein zu großer Wunsch fürs neue Jahr sein; in Frieden und Sicherheit zu leben, ist alles, was man braucht. Nutzen Sie die Zeit und umarmen Sie Ihre Liebsten in diesem langen, trostlosen Winter.
Joshua Wong schreibt diese Kolumne im Wechsel mit Glacier Kwong. Die beiden jungen Aktivisten aus Hongkong kämpfen gegen den wachsenden Einfluss Chinas in ihrer Heimat. Wong verbüßt derzeit eine dreizehnmonatige Haftstrafe wegen der Teilnahme an einer Demonstration. Die aktuelle Kolumne verfasste er an Heiligabend. Sie wurde aber bis zu dieser Woche von der Gefängnisleitung zurückgehalten.

Top-News zur Coronavirus-Pandemie am 8. Januar 2021
Corona im Überblick:
RKI meldet fast 25.000 Neuinfektionen und erneut über 1000 Tote
07.37 Uhr: In Deutschland sind binnen eines Tages fast 24.700 Neuinfektionen mit dem Coronavirus verzeichnet worden. Wie das Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) am Samstagmorgen unter Berufung auf Angaben der Gesundheitsämter mitteilte, wurden 24.694 weitere Ansteckungsfälle registriert. Die Gesamtzahl der nachgewiesenen Corona-Infektionen seit Pandemie-Beginn in Deutschland stieg damit auf 1.891.581.
Nach Angaben des RKI wurden zudem 1083 Todesfälle im Zusammenhang mit dem Coronavirus innerhalb von 24 Stunden gezählt. Die Gesamtzahl der verzeichneten Corona-Toten in Deutschland wuchs damit auf 39.878.
Die Zahl der von einer Corona-Infektion Genesenen bezifferte das RKI auf rund 1.511.800. Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz betrug am Samstag 153,9. Bei dem Wert handelt es sich um die Zahl der Neuinfektionen pro 100.000 Einwohnern in diesem Zeitraum.
Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz ist ein wesentlicher Maßstab für die Verhängung und Lockerung von Maßnahmen gegen die Ausbreitung des neuartigen Virus. Ziel der Bundesregierung ist es, die Inzidenz auf unter 50 zu drücken.
Anmerkung der Redaktion: Die Zahlen, die das RKI am Morgen meldet, weichen leicht von denen ab, die FOCUS Online jeweils am Vorabend vermeldet. Das liegt am unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkt der Datenerhebung und der Meldeverzögerung.
Auch Kretschmer gesteht Fehler in der Corona-Politik ein
Samstag, 07.26 Uhr: Sachsens Regierungschef Michael Kretschmer (CDU) hat erneut Fehler in der Corona-Politik eingeräumt. Im Herbst sei die Landespolitik aufgrund der allgemeinen Stimmung zu zögerlich gewesen, mit harten Maßnahmen auf die Pandemie zu reagieren, sagte er im Interview der Chemnitzer "Freien Presse" (Samstag). In der Rückschau wäre es besser gewesen, das Land deutlich früher herunterzufahren, "auch wenn das bestimmt viel Unverständnis in der Bevölkerung ergeben hätte".
Erst durch den Besuch mehrerer Klinken in Sachsen am 11. Dezember sei ihm die Dramatik bewusst geworden, sagte Kretschmer: "Mir war nicht klar, dass das Personal in Aue schon seit sechs Wochen vor meinem Besuch am Limit arbeitete (...) Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass ich früher gewarnt worden wäre."
Mehr als 25.000 Neuinfektionen in Deutschland - R-Wert springt über kritische Marke
21.48 Uhr: In Deutschland haben sich nach Angaben der Gesundheitsämter der Bundesländer 26.381 weitere Menschen mit dem Coronavirus infiziert. Somit stieg die Zahl der positiv getesteten Menschen seit Pandemiebeginn auf 1.884.345. Besonders stark war der Anstieg bei den Neuinfektionen in Nordrhein-Westfalen (+5149), Bayern (+3668) und Baden-Württemberg (+2753).
Insgesamt sind 39.543 Menschen an oder mit dem Virus gestorben (+1159 am Freitag). Somit wurden bereits den vierten Tag in Folge mehr als 1000 Todesfälle gemeldet.
Sie finden hier die aktuell gemeldeten Zahlen der Gesundheitsministerien der Länder.
Gesamt (Stand 08.01.2021, 21.32 Uhr): 1.884.345 (+26.381), 39.543 Todesfälle (+1159)
Vortag (Stand 07.01.2021, 20.50 Uhr): 1.857.964, 38.384 Todesfälle
Quelle zu Infizierten- und Todeszahlen: Landesgesundheits- und Sozialministerien.
Die Zahl der Genesenen liegt laut Robert-Koch-Institut in Deutschland bei ca. 1.494.100 (+20.100)
Die Zahl der aktiven Fälle liegt somit bei 350.702 (+4623)
Aktuell vom RKI gemeldete Reproduktionszahl: 1,15 (Stand: 08.01.)
Zahl der Intensivbetten laut DIVI-Intensivregister, die von Covid-19-Patienten belegt werden: 5484 (-7)
Zahl der aktuell invasiv beatmeten Covid-19-Patienten: 3070 (-29)
Laut Robert Koch-Institut sind 1.494.100 Menschen, die sich mit dem Virus infiziert hatten, inzwischen wieder genesen. Somit liegt die Zahl der akut Infizierten bei 350.702.
Der R-Wert sprang am Freitag deutlich über die kritische Marke von 1 - von 0,77 auf 1,15.
Strengere Corona-Maßnahmen gelten in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern bereits ab Sonntag
21.19 Uhr: Der verschärfte Corona-Lockdown mit neuen Kontaktbeschränkungen soll in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern bereits ab Sonntag gelten. Das kündigte Ministerpräsidentin Manuela Schwesig (SPD) am Freitag in Schwerin an.
Sachsen geht bis zum 7. Februar in den Lockdown
20.55 Uhr: Im Kampf gegen die Corona-Pandemie setzt Sachsen auf einen Lockdown bis zum 7. Februar und geht damit über die Festlegungen der Bund-Länder-Schalte hinaus. Dort war von einer Verlängerung des Lockdowns bis Ende Januar die Rede. Demnach bleiben Kitas und Schulen im Freistaat bis zum 7. Februar weitgehend geschlossen. Kontakte werden eingeschränkt, allerdings will Sachsen Ausnahmen für die Kinderbetreuung ermöglichen. Das beschloss das Kabinett am Freitag in Dresden. Sachsens Gesundheitsministerin Petra Köpping (SPD) sprach von weiterhin "besorgniserregenden Zahlen" im Freistaat. Die neue Verordnung gilt ab dem 11. Januar.
Gastronom am Tegernsee will trotz Lockdowns öffnen
18.35 Uhr: Aus Protest gegen den Corona-Lockdown will ein Gastronom ab Montag sein Bistro in Gmund am Tegernsee wieder öffnen. „Ich möchte einfach ein Zeichen setzen, dass die Maßnahmen der Politik nicht verhältnismäßig sind. Sie zerstören die Gastronomie“, erklärte Betreiber Hans Becker am Freitag. Zuerst hatte die „Tegernseer Zeitung“ über die geplante Öffnung von „Das Becker's“ berichtet.
Die Polizei und das Landratsamt suchen schon vorab das Gespräch mit dem Betreiber, sagte ein Sprecher des Polizeipräsidiums Oberbayern Süd. „Es ist nicht zulässig, dass gastronomische Betriebe öffnen. Wir hoffen, dass die Einsicht siegt.“ Die Beamten und zwei Vertreter des Landratsamtes werden das Bistro ansonsten am Montag kontrollieren, kündigte eine Sprecherin des Landratsamtes an. „Sollten dabei Verstöße festgestellt werden, werden diese konsequent geahndet.“
Laut Bußgeldkatalog droht dem Gastronom eine Strafe von 5000 Euro. „Natürlich zahle ich nicht. Im Zweifel ziehe ich bis zum Europäischen Gerichtshof“, sagte Becker, der sich ausdrücklich von der rechten Szene distanziert. Er leugne nicht die Existenz des Virus und wolle sich an die Hygiene- und Abstandsregeln halten, um seine Gäste nicht zu gefährden. Zwei Besucher hätten trotz drohender Geldstrafe von 250 Euro schon für Montag reserviert.
Zuletzt hatte ein Sportartikelhändler angekündigt, seine Läden ab Montag zu öffnen. Nach Zuspruch aus der rechten Szene machte er dann aber einen Rückzieher.
Neue Coronavirus-Variante erstmals in Berlin nachgewiesen
18.22 Uhr: Die neue aus Großbritannien bekannte Coronavirus-Variante ist zum ersten Mal auch in Berlin nachgewiesen worden. Das teilte die Senatsverwaltung für Gesundheit am Freitag mit. Der betroffene Mensch und weitere erkrankte Kontaktpersonen seien inzwischen wieder genesen. Der Patient soll laut Senat zuvor in Großbritannien gewesen sein.
Erstmals war die Corona-Mutation aus England in Deutschland an Heiligabend nachgewiesen worden. Betroffen war eine Frau in Baden-Württemberg, die aus Großbritannien eingereist war. In weiteren Bundesländern wurden inzwischen entsprechende Fälle festgestellt. Befürchtet wird, dass die Variante deutlich ansteckender ist als frühere Formen. Am Donnerstag war bekanntgeworden, dass die neue Variante des Virus in Sachsen aufgetaucht ist.
Landrat mit dringendem Appell: Keine Ausflüge ins Berchtesgadener Land machen
17.21 Uhr: Aufgrund der weiterhin hohen Corona-Infektionszahlen im Berchtesgadener Land appelliert der zuständige Landrat, auf Tagesausflüge in die Region zu verzichten. Die Polizei werde in den kommenden Tagen vermehrt Schwerpunktkontrollen an den Grenzübergängen, Zufahrtsstraßen und Ausflugszielen im Berchtesgadener Land durchführen, heißt es in einer Mitteilung von Freitag.
Die Corona-Infektionszahlen im Berchtesgadener Land sind weiterhin hoch. Die Region liegt mit einer 7-Tage-Inzidenz von 325,7 im bundesweiten Corona-Ranking auf Rang 12 (RKI, Stand Freitag, 8. Januar). „Besucher aus unseren Nachbarlandkreisen sind im Berchtesgadener Land gerne gesehen – nur bitte nicht, während das Infektionsgeschehen so hoch ist. Wir freuen uns über Ihren Besuch, sobald die Zahlen deutlich gesunken sind und sich die Lage wieder entspannt hat“, bekräftigt Landrat Bernhard Kern.
Es sei in den kommenden Tagen auf allen Zufahrtsstraßen des Landkreises mit hohen Wartezeiten und Staus zu rechnen. „Die Polizei wird insbesondere auf die Einhaltung aller Bestimmungen der derzeit geltenden Elften Bayerischen Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen-verordnung und der Straßenverkehrsordnung sowie auf das Freihalten der Zufahrtsstraßen in den Ausflugsregionen achten“, heißt es in der Mitteilung weiter. Bei Verstößen drohen hohe Bußgelder.
Das oberbayerische Alpenidyll sorgte bereits im Oktober für Schlagzeilen als bundesweit erste Region im Teil-Lockdown. Damals war der Inzidenz-Wert mit 272 Infektionen auf 100 000 Einwohner binnen sieben Tagen niedriger als heute.
Nach heftiger Kritik: Berlin verschiebt geplanten Schulstart
17.18 Uhr: Noch immer sind die Corona-Fallzahlen in Deutschland auf einem hohen Niveau. In Berlin sollte eigentlich am Montag die Schule nach den Weihnachtsferien wieder losgehen. Nun verschiebt Berlin jedoch den geplanten Schulstart, wie der Tagesspiegel unter Berufung auf Koalitionskreise berichtet. Demnach soll es ab Montag in Berlin keine Präsenzpflicht mehr bis zum 25. Januar geben.
Der Senat hatte am Mittwoch beschlossen, ab 11. Januar schrittweise zumindest wieder Wechselunterricht anzubieten, also eine Kombination aus Lernen zu Hause und in den Schulen in kleinen Gruppen. Den Anfang sollen die abschlussrelevanten Jahrgänge machen, eine Woche später sollen Grundschüler der Klassen 1 bis 3 folgen.
Der Senat erntete für seinen Beschluss jedoch heftige Kritik. Die CDU hat den Berliner Senat aufgefordert, die Pläne zur schrittweisen Wiedereröffnung der Schulen trotz anhaltenden Corona-Lockdowns zurückzunehmen. "Wir alle wünschen uns eine möglichst schnelle Rückkehr zur Normalität im Bildungsbereich. Das Infektionsgeschehen gibt das aber derzeit noch nicht her", erklärte der CDU-Vorsitzende Kai Wegner am Donnerstag.
Inzidenz in London steigt über 1000: Bürgermeister ruft Großlage aus
15.41 Uhr: Der Londoner Bürgermeister Sadiq Khan hat angesichts beispiellos hoher Infektionszahlen in der britischen Hauptstadt eine Großlage (major incident) ausgerufen. Die Bedrohung, die das Coronavirus für die Stadt darstelle, sei an einem kritischen Punkt. "Wenn wir nicht unverzüglich handeln, könnte unser NHS (Gesundheitsdienst) überwältigt werden und mehr Menschen werden sterben", sagte Khan einer Mitteilung zufolge.
Großbritannien verzeichnete in den vergangenen Tagen sehr hohe Infektionszahlen. London ist besonders stark betroffen. Die Krankenhäuser sind bereits weitgehend ausgelastet. Verantwortlich machen die Regierung und Experten dafür auch eine neue, womöglich ansteckendere Virus-Variante.
Die sogenannte Sieben-Tages-Inzidenz in der britischen Hauptstadt liegt inzwischen bei mehr als 1000. Damit ist die Zahl der Neuinfektionen innerhalb einer Woche auf 100.000 Einwohner gemeint. Die Zahl der im Krankenhaus behandelten Covid-19-Patienten in London sei allein in der ersten Januarwoche um knapp ein Drittel, die Zahl der Intensivpatienten um mehr als 40 Prozent gestiegen, hieß es in der Mitteilung des Bürgermeisters.
NRW setzt 15-Kilometer-Regelung für Coronavirus-Hotspots nicht um
14.50 Uhr: Nordrhein-Westfalen will die 15-Kilometer-Regelung für Corona-Hotspots nicht umsetzen. Das bevölkerungsreichste Bundesland verzichtet in seiner ab Montag geltenden Verordnung auf die Begrenzung des Bewegungsradius in Hotspots mit einer Inzidenz von 200 oder höher. Das berichtet der Deutschlandfunk.
Zudem würde man in Nordrhein-Westfalen zu betreuende Kinder bei den Kontaktbeschränkungen auf einen Haushalt und eine weitere Person nicht mitzählen. Landkreise und Städte mit einer 7-Tage-Inzidenz von über 200 können jedoch im Einvernehmen mit dem Landesgesundheitsministerium zusätzliche Schutzmaßnahmen anordnen.
Bund und Länder hatten sich erst am Dienstag darauf verständigt, in Landkreisen mit einer 7-Tages-Inzidenz über 200 die Bewegungsfreiheit auf 15 Kilometer um den Wohnort zu begrenzen.
Infektionsrekord auf den Balearen: Mallorca schließt Restaurants
14.43 Uhr: Die Urlaubsinsel Mallorca, die Region Madrid und weitere Teile Spaniens haben wegen anziehender Infektionszahlen eine erneute Verschärfung der Corona-Maßnahmen beschlossen. Nach einem regionalen Infektionsrekord auf den Balearen müssen auf Mallorca ab Dienstag alle Restaurants, Bars und Cafés sowie auch alle Kaufhäuser, Einkaufs- und Fitnesszentren für zwei Wochen geschlossen bleiben, wie die balearische Regierungssprecherin Pilar Costa am Freitag in Palma mitteilte. Im Einzelhandel sind alle Läden mit einer Verkaufsfläche von mehr als 700 Quadratmetern betroffen. Erlaubt bleibt der Verkauf von Lebensmitteln, Medikamenten und allen Produkten des Grundbedarfs.
"Bürokratischer Irrsinn": Bei Maskenverteilung droht Deutschland das nächste Corona-Chaos
14.10 Uhr: Um sich besser vor dem Coronavirus schützen zu können, sollen Über-60-Jährige sowie Menschen mit Vorerkrankungen per Gutschein FFP2-Masken in Apotheken ausgehändigt bekommen. Doch das beinhaltet offenbar einen gigantischen logistischen Aufwand, wie die "Welt" berichtet. Reichte bislang der Ausweis als Nachweis, benötigen die Menschen nun ein Zertifikat der Bundesdruckerei. Ein renommierter deutscher Arzt sprach gegenüber dem Blatt von "bürokratischem Irrsinn", Thomas Preis, Vorsitzender des Apothekerverbandes Nordrhein warnte vor einem Gutschein-Verzug.
"In den Apotheken stehen nun Menschen, die Gutscheine vorzeigen müssen, die sie noch nicht haben. Der Druck nimmt täglich zu, auch angesichts der Mutante des Coronavirus, die sich auf dem Kontinent weiter ausbreiten könnte", sagte er der "Welt". Obwohl die Zustellung der Gutscheine für "Anfang Januar" angekündigt war, werden die Voucher wohl erst an diesem Wochenende bei vielen Berechtigten ankommen.
Gerade jetzt, wo die zweite Verteilerrunde starten soll, ist es ein großes Problem, dass die Berechtigungsscheine erst zu den Krankenkassen und dann zu den Menschen geschickt werden - aber bei weitem nicht das einzige. "Die Krankenkassen verschicken die Gutscheine nicht alle auf einmal, sondern nach der Reihenfolge des Alters ab 75, ab 70 und ab 60", erklärt Preis und warnt. "Bis jeder den Nachweis hat, wird es sich also noch weiter hinziehen."
Wie lange sich das hinziehen kann, ist unklar. Laut Apothekenverband Nordrhein könnte es bis "zum Ende des Monats Januar" dauern, bis die Gutscheine ankommen - dann steht eigentlich schon die nächste Verteilerrunde an.
Für Apotheker Preist ist das Irrsinn. "Ein weiteres Zuwarten und Vertrösten auf die nächsten Masken ist angesichts der immer noch zu hohen Infektionszahlen und des zögerlichen Starts der Impfungen den Menschen nicht zuzumuten." Daher fordert er eine pragmatische Lösung für den Übergang. "Für den Übergang, bis alle Gutscheine zugestellt sind, sollten Bedürftige kostenlos drei weitere FFP2-Masken erhalten – gegen Vorlage ihres Ausweises. Das würde deutlich Druck vom Kessel nehmen."
Grund für die Maßnahme des Bundes ist aber das Verhindern von Missbrauch. Im Dezember waren teilweise Menschen, die man "Maskentouristen" taufte, von Apotheke zu Apotheke gezogen und hatten ihre eingesammelten Masken danach weiterverkauft.

Während andere impfen, hinkt Frankreich hinterher: "Sind weltweite Lachnummer"

Vor einem beigefarbenen Hangar im nordwestlichen Pariser Vorort Poissy im Département Yvelines haben sich rund zwei Dutzend Journalisten versammelt. Während französische und internationale Kameras die Szene einfangen, schneidet eine Gruppe Lokalpolitiker und Ärzte ein Band in blau-weiß-rot, den Farben der französischen Flagge, durch, das an zwei weißen Metallpfosten befestigt ist.
"Wir sind nicht die Gegenspieler der Zentralregierung - wir sind ihre Partner", sagt Karl Olive, Bürgermeister von Poissy, breit lächelnd in ein Mikrofon. Dann geht die Gruppe, gefolgt von den Journalisten, in das Gebäude, das Frankreichs erstes Gemeindeimpfzentrum für COVID-19 sein wird. Solche Zentren sollen helfen, die Impfkampagne zu beschleunigen und Frankreichs Rückstand im Vergleich zu manch anderen Industrienationen aufzuholen. Doch einer flächendeckenden Impfung steht so einiges im Wege.
"Teil eines historischen Moments"
"Ich möchte wieder ins Restaurant gehen, Partys feiern und meine Kinder sorglos in den Arm nehmen können", sagt Christian Lehmann, Allgemeinmediziner in Poissy, während er als erster in dem neuen Zentrum eine Impfung gegen COVID-19 erhält. Später wird er sich selbst einen blauen Medizinerkittel überziehen, um hier andere Menschen zu impfen.
Bürgermeister Olive beobachtet die Szene zufrieden. "Sag uns, ob es piekst", ruft er ihm über die Mauer an Kameras zu. Ihn freut es, dass Gemeinden sich nun mehr einbringen können im Kampf gegen COVID-19. "Es ist wichtig, Teil dieses noch nie da gewesenen historischen Moments zu sein. Ich als Bürgermeister von Poissy mit seinen 40.000 Bewohnern will zeigen, dass wir wirklich helfen können, diese globale Pandemie zu überwinden", sagt er gegenüber der DW. Im Département Yvelines soll es bald zehn solcher Gemeindeimpfzentren geben, im ganzen Land 300. "Wir werden hier bald 500 Leute pro Tag impfen – und sehr schnell alle Franzosen im ganzen Land", erklärt Olive.

"Wir sind zur weltweiten Lachnummer geworden"
Frankreichs Impfkampagne zu beschleunigen ist bitter nötig. Bisher hat das Land nur einige zehntausend Menschen geimpft - im Vergleich zu Hunderttausenden in manchen anderen europäischen Ländern. Das habe wohl vor allem logistische und administrative Gründe, meint Michaël Rochoy, Allgemeinmediziner im nordfranzösischen Outreau. Rochoy hat zusammen mit 30 anderen Medizinern einen offenen Brief verfasst, in dem sie fordern, die Impfkampagne zur "Großen Nationalen Angelegenheit" zu machen.
"Wir sind zur weltweiten Lachnummer geworden", meint er gegenüber DW. "Wie kann es nur so langsam voran gehen in einem Land, das ein so gutes flächendeckendes Gesundheitssystem hat? Und wie kann die Regierung jemanden wie Alain Fischer zum Chef-Impfstrategen ernennen? Er ist zwar Mediziner, sagt aber selbst, dass er keine Ahnung von Logistik hat, was wiederum zentral ist bei dieser Kampagne!"
Zudem müsse man in einer separaten Besprechung die Zustimmung des Patienten zur Impfung einholen und ein Online-Formular auf einer neuen Webseite ausfüllen, die aber erst Tage nach dem Impfstart funktioniert hätte. "Das alles verlangsamt den Prozess doch nur noch mehr", meint er.
Doch die Regierung streitet ab, dass Frankreich den Zeitplan nicht einhalte. "Es gibt kein Problem", sagt Jacques Marilossian gegenüber der DW. Er ist Abgeordneter der Regierungspartei LREM in der Nationalversammlung für das Département Hauts-de-Seine bei Paris. "Das ist wie bei einem Fußballspiel. Dessen Ergebnis beurteilen Sie doch auch nicht nach fünf oder sechs Sekunden, obwohl das Spiel 90 Minuten dauert."
Frankreich käme derzeit nur schlechter an Spezial-Gefrierschränke als andere Länder. Das bisher einzige verfügbare Serum von Pfizer und BioNTech muss nämlich bei minus 70 Grad gelagert werden. Dennoch werde man jetzt schneller impfen, so Marilossian: "Wir werden die Impfung von Gruppen wie medizinischem Personal vorziehen. Außerdem sollten wir bald andere Impfstoffe bekommen, die nicht bei so extrem niedrigen Temperaturen aufbewahrt werden müssen." Frankreichs höchste Gesundheitsbehörde hat am Freitag einen COVID-19-Impfstoff von Moderna zugelassen, der immerhin nur bei minus 20 Grad aufbewahrt werden muss.

Problem ist nicht nur die Logistik
Doch selbst wenn Frankreich die verlorene Zeit aufholt - es gibt da noch ein anderes Problem. Frankreich hat laut einer Studie des Gallup-Wellcome-Trusts 2018 den weltweit größten Anteil an Impfgegnern. So wollen sich nur vier von zehn Franzosen gegen COVID-19 impfen lassen.
Das liegt wohl auch daran, dass laut Umfragen nur 40 Prozent der Franzosen glauben, dass die Regierung die Krise meistern wird. Der langsame Start der Impfkampagne wird wohl kaum dazu beitragen, das Vertrauen in die Regierung wieder herzustellen. Bürgermeister Olive will deshalb selbst mit gutem Beispiel vorangehen. Er fordert zusammen mit rund 300 anderen Bürgermeistern in einem offenen Brief, dass Bürgermeister sich öffentlich impfen lassen sollten: "Ich glaube, solche Symbolhandlungen sind wichtig - sie können Menschen von der Wirksamkeit der Impfung überzeugen."

JYP Entertainment has responded to reports GOT7 star Yugyeom has decided to leave the agency.
The seven-member K-Pop group debuted under JYP Entertainment in 2014.
There has been much speculation among fans as to how the group will continue in 2021, as K-Pop groups tend to sign to an agency for seven years.
A report from SPO TV News on Wednesday claimed that Yugyeom will not renew his contract and move to hip-hop/R&B label AOMG.
Artists currently signed to AOMG include Jay Park, Gray, Hoody and Punchnello.
JYP Entertainment didn’t deny the singer had not renewed, but responded in a statement to media: ‘We are still discussing various possibilities regarding GOT7’s contracts, and we will inform you when we are ready.’
GOT7 is made up of Yugyeom, Jinyoung, Mark, JB, Jackson, Bam Bam and Youngjae.
It is not known whether Yugyeom is leaving the group, however the members have said in the past that they hope to stay together no matter what happens.
Mark told Metro.co.uk last year: ‘We’ve been together for such a long time that we just understand each other.
‘In the beginning, we tried to talk a lot. However, as we spend more and more time together, we started to learn so much about each other. I think that communication is the key.’
GOT7’s last comeback was Breath Of Love: Last Piece in November 2020.
The group themselves are yet to comment on the reports, however Yugyeom added ‘Artist’ to his Instagram profile, while Mark changed his to ‘One of seven’.

Während der Sitzung der Senatskammer zur Zertifizierung des Wahlsieges stürmten radikale Trump-Anhänger das Kapitol in Washington. Mehrere Politiker fordern den Rücktritt Trumps.

Die aktuellen USA-Politik-News:
Twitter sperrt Trump dauerhaft - der wütet auf dem nächsten Account weiter
Samstag, 9. Januar, 07.03 Uhr: Nach der Erstürmung des US-Kapitols durch radikale Anhänger des scheidenden US-Präsidenten Donald Trump hat der Online-Dienst Twitter dessen Konto dauerhaft gesperrt. "Nach einer gründlichen Prüfung jüngster Tweets vom Konto @realDonaldTrump" sei dieser Account "permanent gesperrt" worden, teilte das kalifornische Unternehmen am Freitag (Ortszeit) mit. Grund dafür sei "das Risiko weiterer Anstiftung zur Gewalt".
Wegen des gewaltsamen Sturms auf das Kapitol hatte Twitter Trumps Konto bereits am Mittwoch vorübergehend gesperrt und dem Präsidenten mit dem dauerhaften Ausschluss von seiner bevorzugten Kommunikationsplattform gedroht. Der Online-Dienst begründete dies mit "wiederholten und schwerwiegenden Verstößen" Trumps gegen die Richtlinien des Unternehmens im Kampf gegen Falschinformationen.
Trump warf dem Online-Dienst vor, ihn und seine Anhänger "zum Schweigen" bringen zu wollen. In einem vom offiziellen Twitter-Konto des US-Präsidenten aus gesendeten Beitrag warf Trump dem kalifornischen Unternehmen am Freitag (Ortszeit) vor, "die Redefreiheit immer weiter" einzuschränken.
"Heute Abend haben sich Twitter-Mitarbeiter mit Demokraten und der radikalen Linken zusammengetan, um mein Konto von ihrer Plattform zu entfernen, um mich und euch 75 Millionen großartiger Patrioten, die mich gewählt haben, zum Schweigen zu bringen", schrieb Trump. Bereits kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung wurde der Tweet wieder gelöscht.
Erste republikanische Senatorin fordert Rücktritt Trumps
23.19 Uhr: Nach der Erstürmung des US-Kapitols durch Anhänger von Donald Trump hat erstmals eine republikanische Senatorin den Rücktritt des US-Präsidenten gefordert. "Ich will, dass er zurücktritt", sagte Senatorin Lisa Murkowski - eine innerparteiliche Kritikerin Trumps - der Zeitung "Anchorage Daily News" aus ihrem Heimat-Bundesstaat Alaska. "Er hat genug Schaden angerichtet." Murkowski machte Trump mitverantwortlich für den Angriff auf das Parlament am Mittwoch, bei dem fünf Menschen um Leben kamen, darunter ein Polizist.
Die Senatorin warf Trump vor, er habe sich nur aus Eigennutz gegen seinen Auszug aus dem Weißen Haus gewehrt. "Er will nur wegen des Titels dort bleiben. Er will nur für sein Ego dort bleiben", sagte Murkowski. "Er muss da raus." Statt sich auf den Kampf gegen die Coronavirus-Pandemie zu konzentrieren, sei Trump Golf spielen gegangen oder habe wütend im Oval Office gesessen. Nach dem Angriff auf das Parlament fordert die Spitze der Demokraten im Kongress Trumps Amtsenthebung.
Bericht: Demokraten wollen Amtsenthebungsverfahren gegen Trump am Montag einleiten
21.55 Uhr: Die Demokraten planen bereits am Montag ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren von Noch-US-Präsident Donald Trump. Das berichtet "CNN". In Folge dessen könnte es in der nächsten Woche zu einer Abstimmung im Repräsentantenhaus kommen. Die Vorsitzende des US-Hauses, Nancy Pelosi, hatte Trump nach den Ausschreitungen in Washington mit einem Amtsenthebungsverfahren bedroht, solle er nicht „sofort“ zurücktreten. Einen konkreten Termin, wann das Impeachment-Verfahren von statten gehen soll, nannte sie dabei jedoch nicht. Es wäre nach 2019 das zweite Mal, dass die Demokraten ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren gegen den US-Präsidenten einleiten.
Er posierte in Pelosis Bürostuhl: 60-jähriger US-Kapitolstürmer verhaftet
19.57 Uhr: Ein 60-Jähriger, der am Mittwoch das US-Kapitol gestürmt hatte, soll nach Angaben des Justizministeriums nun in seinem Zuhause im US-Bundesstaat Arkansas festgenommen worden sein. Dies geht aus einem Bericht der „Daily Mail“ hervor. Bilder des Mannes waren um die Welt gegangen, auf denen zu sehen war, wie er im Büro der Vorsitzenden des US-Repräsentantenhaus posierte.
Pelosi droht Trump mit Impeachment-Verfahren, sollte er nicht "sofort" zurücktreten
19.02 Uhr: Die Vorsitzende des US-Repräsentantenhaus, Nancy Pelosi, droht Trump mit einem Amtsenthebungsverfahren, solle er nicht „sofort“ zurücktreten. Das berichtet die „New York Times.“ Das Parlament könnte nächste Woche das Verfahren einleiten. Nach den gewallttätigen Ausschreitungen mit Todesopfern im US-Kapitol legten bereits mehrere Minister der Trump-Regierung freiwillig ihr Amt nieder.
"Dieser Mann ist tödlich für unsere Demokratie", sagte die Vorsitzende des Repräsentantenhauses am Donnerstag über Trump in einem Brief an das Repräsentantenhaus. Dessen Zeit im Weißen Haus endet in weniger als zwei Wochen automatisch. Am 20. Januar wird Trumps Nachfolger, der Demokrat Joe Biden, als Präsident vereidigt.
Pelosi will möglichen Atomschlag von US-Präsident Trump verhindern
18.51 Uhr: Die Vorsitzende des US-Repräsentantenhaus, Nancy Pelosi, hat nach eigenen Angaben mit dem US-Generalstabschef besprochen, wie Präsident Donald Trump in seinen letzten Tagen im Amt von einem möglichen Atomangriff abgehalten werden kann. Sie habe mit Mark Milley beraten, wie verhindert werden könne, dass "ein instabiler Präsident militärische Kampfhandlungen einleitet oder auf die Abschusscodes zugreift und einen Atomschlag befiehlt", erklärte Pelosi am Freitag in einem Schreiben an die demokratischen Abgeordneten.
Pelosi unterstrich erneut die Bereitschaft des US-Kongresses zu "handeln", falls Trump nicht "sofort und freiwillig" abtrete oder von Vizepräsident Mike Pence und dem Kabinett für amtsunfähig erklärt werde.
Seit der Erstürmung des Kapitols in Washington durch militante Trump-Anhänger am Mittwoch steht der abgewählte Amtsinhaber massiv unter Druck. Erst nach langem Zögern verurteilte Trump am Donnerstag die Gewalt in Washington und rief das Land zur "Versöhnung" und "Heilung" auf.
Trump wird vorgeworfen, für den Gewaltexzess mitverantwortlich zu sein, nachdem er seine Anhänger bei einem Auftritt in Washington mit unbelegten Wahlbetrugs-Vorwürfen angestachelt und zum Marsch auf das Kapitol aufgerufen hatte. Die Demokraten fordern deshalb, Trump noch vor dem Amtswechsel im Weißen Haus abzusetzen.
Corona-Lage spitzt sich zu: Biden will alle Impfstoffdosen herausgeben
18.26 Uhr: Der künftige US-Präsident Joe Biden plant, alle möglich verfügbaren Impfstoffdosen herauszugeben. Das geht aus einem Bericht der "New York Times" hervor. Damit wolle er sicherstellen, "dass alle Amerikaner, die den Impfstoff am am dringendsten benötigen, ihn so schnell wie möglich bekommen."
Bidens Entschluss würde gegen das ursprüngliche Vorhaben der Trump-Regierung sprechen, einige Impfstoffdosen vorerst zurückzuhalten - um die zweite Impfung zeitnah durchführen zu können.
In den USA befinden sich die Corona-Infektionen auf einem neuen Höchsstand. Am Donnerstag verzeichnete das Land innerhalb eines Tages über 4000 Tote sowie 280.000 Neuinfektionen.
Biden nominiert Minister für Ressorts Handel- und Arbeit
17.55 Uhr: Der künftige US-Präsident Joe Biden hat weitere Mitglieder seines Wirtschaftsteams vorgestellt. Das Handelsministerium soll künftig von Gina Raimondo geführt werden, der Gouverneurin des nordöstlichen Bundesstaats Rhode Island. An die Spitze des Arbeitsministeriums soll Marty Walsh rücken, der Bürgermeister der Stadt Boston. Sie werden dabei helfen, die gegenwärtige Wirtschafts- und Arbeitsmarktkrise zu überwinden, wie Biden erklärte. Er wollte die Kandidaten am Freitagnachmittag (Ortszeit) persönlich vorstellen.
Bidens Kabinettsmitglieder müssen noch vom Senat bestätigt werden. Zuvor hatte Biden bereits angekündigt, dass das Finanzministerin künftig von der früheren Zentralbankerin Janet Yellen geführt werden soll. Katherine Tai soll US-Handelsbeauftragte werden.
Trump will nicht an Bidens Amtseinführung teilnehmen
16.53 Uhr: US-Präsident Donald Trump wird nach eigenen Angaben nicht an der Amtseinführung seines Nachfolgers Joe Biden teilnehmen. "An alle, die gefragt haben: Ich werde nicht zur Amtseinführung am 20. Januar gehen", teilte er am Freitag im Onlinedienst Twitter mit.
Trumps Twitter-Account war nach Aussagen zu den Unruhen rund um das Kapital zeitweise gesperrt worden.
Der Demokrat Biden hatte die US-Präsidentschaftswahl am 3. November gegen Trump gewonnen. Seit der Erstürmung des Kapitols in Washington durch militante Trump-Anhänger am Mittwoch steht der abgewählte Amtsinhaber massiv unter Druck.
US-Politik: NBA-Stars reagieren auf Kapitol-Sturm mit Gesten
13.46 Uhr: Auch einen Tag nach den Unruhen rund um das Kapitol in der US-amerikanischen Hauptstadt Washington haben die Basketball-Profis der Profiliga NBA ein friedliches Zeichen gesetzt. Die Spieler und Verantwortlichen der Los Angeles Lakers und der San Antonio Spurs standen am Donnerstag (Ortszeit) während der Nationalhymne in einem Kreis auf dem Spielfeld, ehe die Partie begann. Spurs-Trainer Gregg Popovich, der als Kritiker des abgewählten Präsidenten Donald Trump gilt, sagte vor dem Anpfiff: "Ich glaube von ganzem Herzen, dass Trump es genossen hat."
Auch beim Duell der Memphis Grizzlies und der Cleveland Cavaliers gingen die Teammitglieder beider Mannschaften an die Seitenlinie, bildeten eine Reihe und legten einander die Hände auf die Schulter. Die Schiedsrichter knieten auf dem Spielfeld nieder. Larry Nance Jr. von den Cavs sagte: "Alles, was mit Gleichheit und sozialer Gerechtigkeit zu tun hat, dafür stehen wir. Ich könnte nicht stolzer auf die Spieler, die Teams und die Liga sein."
Nach Kapitol-Ausschreitungen: Einige Randalierer von Arbeitgebern gekündigt
9.11 Uhr: Zwei Tage nach dem Sturm auf das US-Kapitol wurden einige der identifizierten Eindringlinge von ihren Arbeitgebern entlassen, berichtetet die US-Nachrichtenseite "CNN".
Navistar, ein Marketing-Unternehmen in Maryland, gab bekannt, dass einem Mitarbeiter gekündigt wurde, nachdem er fotografiert wurde, wie er seinen Firmenausweis im Inneren des gestürmten Kapitolgebäudes trug. "Während wir das Recht aller Mitarbeiter auf friedliche, rechtmäßige Ausübung der freien Meinungsäußerung unterstützen,wird jeder Mitarbeiter, der gefährliches Verhalten zeigt, das die Gesundheit und Sicherheit anderer gefährdet, nicht mehr eine Beschäftigungsmöglichkeit bei Navistar Direct Marketing haben," sagte das Unternehmen in einer Erklärung, die CNN zur Verfügung steht.
Auch ein texanischer Anwalt wurde von seiner Firma entlassen, nachdem Social-Media-Posts zeigen, wie er über seine Teilnahme an den Ereignissen vom Mittwoch spricht. Ein Professor vom Saint Vincent College in Pennsylvania war ebenso unter den radikalen Trump-Anhängern im Kapitol. Die Universität untersuchte seine Beteiligung an den Ausschreitungen und veröffentliche kurz darauf ein Statement: "Als Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung hat er sein Rücktrittsschreiben mit sofortiger Wirkung eingereicht und wir haben es akzeptiert. Er wird nicht länger mit dem Saint Vincent College in irgendeiner Funktion verbunden sein."
Pence lehnt Amtsenthebung von Trump über Verfassungszusatz ab
6.54 Uhr: Die Idee, den noch amtierenden US-Präsidenten Donald Trump unter Berufung auf den 25. Verfassungszusatz des Amtes zu entheben, ist wohl gescheitert. Wie unter anderem die Zeitungen "New York Times" und Business Insider" berichten, lehnt Vizepräsident Mike Pence eine Amtsenthebung ab.
Viele Demokraten und auch einige Republikaner hatten Pence nach dem Sturm von Hunderten Trump-Anhängern auf das Kapitol aufgefordert, Trump weniger als zwei Wochen vor seinem Ausscheiden aus dem Amt von seinen Befugnissen zu entbinden.
Nancy Pelosi, demokratische Sprecherin des Repräsentantenhauses und erbitterter Trump-Gegnerin, einer der zwei Kammern des US-Kongresses, hatte außerdem ein Amtsentehbunsgverfahren gefordert, sollte Trump nicht aufgrund des 25. Verfassungszusatzes entfernt werden. Der designierte US-Präsident Joe Biden streibt hingegen keine Amtsenthebung an, wie eine nahestehende Person gegenüber "CNN" berichtet (siehe Meldung um 1.06 Uhr).
Twitter-Video: Trump spricht plötzlich von "Heilung und Versöhnung"
6.31 Uhr: Nach einigem Zögern hat der amtierende US-Präsident Donald Trump die Krawalle seiner Anhänger am Kapitol scharf verurteilt. "Wie alle Amerikaner bin ich empört über die Gewalt, Gesetzlosigkeit und das Chaos", sagte Trump in einer Videobotschaft, die er am Donnerstagabend (Ortszeit) auf Twitter verbreitete.
Er sprach von einer "abscheulichen Attacke" auf den Kongresssitz. Jene, die Gewalt angewendet hätten, repräsentierten nicht das Land. Und jene, die Gesetze gebrochen hätten, würden dafür zahlen, sagte Trump. Es sei an der Zeit für "Heilung und Versöhnung".
Trump hatte die Ausschreitungen am Mittwoch zunächst nicht verurteilt, sondern mit umstrittenen Twitter-Botschaften weitere Kritik auf sich gezogen. Trump hatte seine Anhänger am Mittwoch zwar - ebenfalls per Videoclip - aufgerufen, sich zurückzuziehen. Zugleich sagte er an ihre Adresse: "Wir lieben euch", und er erneuerte seine Wahlbetrugsbehauptungen. Später schrieb er in einem weiteren Tweet, solche "Dinge und Geschehnisse" passierten eben, wenn ein Erdrutschsieg gestohlen werde. Twitter sperrte den Account des Präsidenten daraufhin für zwölf Stunden.
Seine betont versöhnliche Botschaft war nun Trumps erste Twitter-Wortmeldung nach der Sperrung. Trump sagte darin auch erneut zu, sich der Amtsübergabe an den gewählten Präsidenten Joe Biden nicht weiter in den Weg zu stellen. "Eine neue Regierung wird vereidigt werden", sagte Trump. "Ich konzentriere mich nun darauf, eine reibungslose, geordnete und nahtlose Machtübergabe zu gewährleisten." Dem Land als Präsident zu dienen, sei für ihn die Ehre seines Lebens gewesen. Seine Niederlage gestand er auch diesmal nicht ein.
Anmerkung der Redaktion: Wir haben zu einem früheren Zeitpunkt an dieser Stelle berichtet, dass Trump öffentlich seine Niederlage eingestanden hätte. Das ist jedoch nicht der Fall gewesen, Trump hat lediglich eine geordnete Machtübergabe versprochen und anerkannt, dass am 20. Januar eine neue Administration ins Amt eingeführt wird.
US-Polizist stirbt nach Ausschreitungen im Kapitol
6.15 Uhr: Ein bei den Ausschreitungen am Sitz des US-Kongresses verletzter Polizist ist gestorben. Dies teilte die für den Schutz des Kapitols in Washington zuständige Polizeibehörde am Donnerstag mit. Wütende Anhänger des abgewählten US-Präsidenten Donald Trump waren am Mittwoch in das Gebäude eingedrungen.
Wie "NBC" berichtet handelt es sich dabei um Officer Brian D. Sicknick. Er war nach einem Zusammenstoß mit Demonstranten am Mittwoch verletzt ins Abteilungsbüro zurückgekehrt wo er zusammenbrach. Anschließend wurde Sicknick in eine örtliches Krankenhaus gebracht, wo er am Donnerstag gegen 21.30 Uhr Ortszeit starb.
Er ist somit die fünfte Person, die im Zusammenhang mit den Ausschreitungen ihr Leben ließ. Zuvor waren die Air-Force-Veteranin und Trump-Anhängerin Ashli Babbitt an den Folgen eines Schusses in den Hals sowie drei weitere Menschen nach "medizinischen Notfällen" gestorben.
Als Reaktion auf den Kapitol-Sturm: Auch Bildungsministerin DeVos reicht Rücktritt ein
3.31 Uhr: Die Bildungsministerin der USA, Betsy DeVos, hat aus den Ereignissen des 6. Januar ihre Konsequenzen gezogen und ihren Rücktritt eingereicht. Das berichtet CNN. Sie ist damit nach Verkehrsministerin Elaine Chao bereits das zweite Mitglied des Trump-Kabinetts, das als Reaktion auf die Kapitol-Stürmung zurücktritt.
Pelosi forderte Amtsenthebung Trumps - Biden zeigt wenig Interesse daran
1.06 Uhr: Der designierte US-Präsident Joe Biden strebt einem Bericht des Nachrichtensenders CNN zufolge kein Amtsenthebungsverfahren gegen Donald Trump an. Demnach wolle Biden seinen Fokus voll und ganz auf seine Amtseinführung am 20. Januar legen.
"Ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren würde nicht dazu beitragen, dieses Land zu vereinen", zitiert CNN eine Person, die Biden nahestehen soll. "Dies ist eine Angelegenheit, die vom Kongress entschieden werden muss."
Die demokratische Vorsitzende des Repräsentantenhauses, eine der zwei Kammern des US-Kongress, Nancy Pelosi, hatte zuvor ein Amtsenthebungsverfahren gefordert, sollten die Republikaner nicht vorher eine Amtsenthebung auf Basis des 25. Zusatzartikels der amerikanischen Verfassung einleiten.
Denn: Der 25. Zusatzartikel ist der schnellere Weg, einen US-Präsidenten aus dem Amt zu entfernen: Er erlaubt es, den Präsidenten für "unfähig, die Rechte und Pflichten des Amtes auszuüben" zu erklären. Eine solche Erklärung müssen der Vizepräsident und eine Mehrheit der wichtigsten Kabinettsmitglieder vornehmen und dies dann dem Kongress mitteilen. Legt der Präsident Widerspruch ein, müssen die beiden Kongress-Kammern Senat und Repräsentantenhaus mit einer Zweidrittelmehrheit der Amtsenthebung zustimmen. Es bräuchte große Teile der republikanischen Partei im Kongress, um diese Mehrheiten zu erreichen.

Erst setzt die EU-Kommission unter Ursula von der Leyen den Ankauf von genug Impfstoff in den Sand. Jetzt wird von uns auch noch verlangt, das Debakel als Ausweis besonders raffinierter Verhandlungsführung zu sehen.
Ich bin jetzt Impf-Nationalist. Ich bin schon vieles genannt worden, das noch nicht. Um als Impf-Nationalist zu gelten, reicht es, dass man fragt, wo der Impfstoff bleibt. Oder Vergleiche anstellt mit Ländern, in denen es zügig vorangeht, weil sie genug Impfdosen bestellt haben.
Leute wie ich wollten Germany first, schrieb der ehemalige CDU-Generalsekretär Ruprecht Polenz. Nun gut, kann man sagen, wer ist Ruprecht Polenz? Ein 74-jähriger Politrentner, der in seinem Haus in Münster sitzt und sich aus Langeweile die Finger wund twittert. Aber auch gestandene Politiker wie der FDP-Abgeordnete Alexander Graf Lambsdorff sind mit dem Vorwurf des Impf-Nationalismus schnell zur Hand.
Es reicht, wenn Politiker ihren Job anständig machen
Ich bin politisch ein relativ anspruchsloser Mensch. Mir reicht es, wenn die Leute, die einen regieren, den Job ordentlich machen, für den sie gewählt wurden. Da ist es für mich nebensächlich, ob sie in Brüssel oder in Berlin sitzen. Das ist wie im Nahverkehr. Wenn ich im Bus hinten einsteige, erwarte ich vom Busfahrer auch keine schwungvollen Reden, sondern dass er sich möglichst nicht verfährt. Aber das ist natürlich zu einfach gedacht. So zu denken gilt heute als rückständig.
Dabei wäre es so einfach gewesen. Wenn man beim Einkauf lebenswichtiger Güter nicht weiß, welcher Lieferant einem nur Versprechungen macht und wer am Ende sein Wort hält, bestellt man halt bei allen so viel, dass es in jedem Fall reicht. Aber genau das haben sie in der EU-Kommission nicht gemacht. Sie haben stattdessen nach Standort ausgewählt (Paris, Mainz) und nach Preis.
Den Osteuropäern ist der deutsche Impfstoff zu kostspielig
Wie man hört, war den Osteuropäern der Impfstoff aus Deutschland zu teuer. 20 Euro für eine Impfdosis? Das hätte man gerne billiger gehabt. Lasst uns Sanofi nehmen, die verlangen nur 7,56 Euro. Oder AstraZeneca, da gibt’s den Impfschutz schon für 1,78 Euro! Leider ist das billigste Angebot nicht immer das beste, das kennt man von der Schnäppchenjagd.
Es ist so verrückt. Für alles haben wir in Europa Geld. Wir legen für Milliarden Milchseen und Tomatenberge an. Gerade haben sie in Brüssel ein 1,8-Billionen-Paket zur Linderung der Kosten der Corona-Politik auf den Weg gebracht. Aber ausgerechnet beim Impfstoff, der den Ausnahmezustand beenden könnte, wollten sie sparen. Selbst wenn die Impfdose 100 Euro gekostet hätte, wäre das leicht bezahlbar gewesen. Für Deutschland hätte das acht Milliarden Euro bedeutet. So viel kostet uns der Lockdown pro Woche.
Der Lockdown kostet uns Deutsche acht Milliarden Euro wöchentlich
Noch verrückter ist, dass dieser Irrsinn in Teilen der Medien als besonders raffinierte Verhandlungsführung gelobt wird. In der „Süddeutschen Zeitung“ war zu lesen, dass es den Europäern gelungen sei, die Preise stabil zu halten. „Nach allem, was bisher bekannt ist, haben die USA und Israel mehr und rascher vom Biontech-Pfizer-Impfstoff bestellt; sie zahlen dafür aber auch einen sehr viel höheren Preis“, stand dazu im Leitartikel.
Das schreibt dieselbe Redaktion, die ansonsten jeden, der nach den wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Pandemie-Politik fragt, als seelenloses Monster in die Ecke stellt. Nun wird also Geduld angemahnt und die Solidarität mit den europäischen Ländern beschworen, die noch weniger Impfstoff haben als wir.
Medien entschuldigen die Fehler der Politiker
Offenbar ist das Bedürfnis, die Kanzlerin zu schützen, so groß, dass dahinter alles andere zurücktritt, auch Logik und Selbstachtung. Manche machen nicht einmal mehr den Versuch, so etwas wie Unabhängigkeit an den Tag zu legen. Der ZDF-Korrespondent in Brüssel hielt noch den Sprechzettel mit den Stichpunkten aus der Pressestelle in der Hand, als er erklärte, warum man niemandem in der EU-Kommission einen Vorwurf machen könne.
Wie soll man das nennen? Journalismus im traditionellen Sinne ist das jedenfalls nicht mehr. Vielleicht sollte man von einem polit-medialen Komplex sprechen. Der Journalist entschuldigt die Regierenden für Fehler, die aus seiner Sicht gar keine Fehler sind, sondern Ausdruck von klugem Handeln. Ein Ministerpräsident der Partei, die Gesundheitsminister und Kanzlerin stellt, lobt dafür den Journalisten. Früher wäre so ein Lob für einen Journalisten ein Todesurteil gewesen, heute gilt es in Teilen der Branche als Beweis für besondere Vertrauenswürdigkeit.
Wöchentlich werden Bürgern Grundrechte genommen, ohne einhergehende Diskussion
Sicher, es hat immer etwas Naseweises, im Rückblick auf Fehler hinzuweisen. Aber das ist nun einmal die Aufgabenteilung zwischen Politik und Presse. Die Presse ist die Stimme, die verneint. Man muss ja nicht gleich so weit gehen wie der „Spiegel“, der in den 16 Jahren Kohl 29 Titelgeschichten hatte, in denen er das Ende der Kanzlerschaft des schwarzen Riesen herbeiwünschte. Aber wäre nicht wenigstens ein Titel drin, in dem man sich Angela Merkel kritisch vornimmt? Ein einziger?
Im Lockdown ist mehr unter die Räder geraten als das Recht, sich frei zu bewegen. Die ganze Statik, an der unsere liberale Demokratie hängt, wackelt auf bedrohliche Weise. Den Bürgern werden im Wochentakt Grundrechte genommen, ohne dass es dazu überhaupt noch eine Diskussion gibt. In Bayern fischen sie jeden von der Straße, der sich nach 9 Uhr abends außerhalb seiner vier Wände aufhält. Wenn man darauf hinweist, dass es nicht sehr viel Einfallsvermögen verlangt, die Leute zu Hause einfach einzusperren, erhält man zur Antwort, dass „einsperren“ das falsche Wort sei.
Es fehlt an Parteien, die die Regierung herausfordern
Es gibt auch keine wirkliche Opposition mehr. Die Grünen betrachten sich bereits als Teil der Regierung und haben alle Kritik eingestellt. Die Sozialdemokraten wissen nicht, wofür oder wogegen sie sein sollen. Manchmal sind sie beides am selben Tag. Die AfD ist nur noch eine Kasperletruppe. Wer die Maskenpflicht im Bundestag per Anwaltsschreiben aufzuheben versucht, hat sich aus dem Kreis derjenigen, die man ernst nehmen kann, verabschiedet. Bleibt die FDP – aber die ist zu schwach, um die Regierung herauszufordern.
Niemand bestreitet, dass die Franzosen den Biontech-Deal hintertrieben haben, auch das ist ein Ergebnis dieser verrückten Tage. Selbst der ZDF-Korrespondent, der eben noch die EU für ihre vorzügliche Verhandlungsführung lobte, räumt im Nebensatz ein, dass die Bestellung von mehr Impfstoff am Widerstand von Frankreich gescheitert sei, das ganz auf Sanofi setzte – so als sei es das Selbstverständlichste der Welt, dass Paris jede Frage nationalisiert, auch die des Überlebens in der Pandemie.
Mit europaweiter Impfstoff-Verteilung will Merkel die deutsche Überlegenheit kompensieren
Die deutsche Position zu Europa schwankte immer schon zwischen Unterwürfigkeit und Naivität. Oder wie Margaret Thatcher einmal sagte: Entweder hat man die Deutschen am Hals oder an den Füßen. Was wir nicht begreifen, ist, dass andere Länder nicht schon deshalb ihre nationale Interessen aufgeben, weil wir uns europäisch vorbildlich verhalten. So gesehen war es von der Kanzlerin wahnsinnig blauäugig, die eigene Überlegenheit in der Impfversorgung durch besondere Demut Brüssel gegenüber kompensieren zu wollen.
Frankreich versteht Europa in erster Linie als Projekt zur Einhegung Deutschlands, auch das gehört zur Wahrheit. Das war beim Euro so, und das setzt sich bei jedem größeren Vorhaben und bei jeder Personalie fort. Es war die Idee von Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen als Kommissionspräsidenten zu nominieren. Er wird gewusst haben, warum.
Käme der erste Impfstoff aus Frankreich, die Franzosen hätten vieles anders gemacht
Um sich die Absurdität der Situation zu vergegenwärtigen, muss man sich nur für einen Moment vorstellen, der erste Impfstoff wäre im Labor von Sanofi entwickelt worden, gefördert mit französischem Steuergeld und in enger Abstimmung mit dem Institut Pasteur.
Glaubt irgendjemand für eine Sekunde, die Franzosen hätten den Einkauf einer Psychologin aus Zypern überlassen, die es auf dem Quotenweg in das Amt des EU-Gesundheitskommissars verschlagen hat? Und dass sie es dann auch noch klaglos hingenommen hätten, wenn die völlig überforderte Frau beschlossen hätte, anderen Firmen den Vorzug zu geben, darunter Unternehmen, von denen nicht einmal klar war, ob sie je würden liefern können?
Wenn Europa heißt, dass man aus Solidarität jede Fehlentscheidung klaglos mitträgt, wird nicht nur der Impf-Nationalismus viele neue Freunde bekommen. Ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass eine ganze Reihe Menschen dann ganz grundsätzlich an der europäischen Idee Zweifel bekommen wird.

A new study has found a frustrating number of calls end up frozen or dropping out altogether due to patchy Wi-Fi, infuriating Brits working from home in lockdown
One in five work video calls freezes and 15 per cent drop out altogether because of bad Wi-Fi, a study has found
Research polling 2,000 adults found they have participated in an average of five video calls a week since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
But a fifth of those also suffered delays, leading to awkward conversations as people tried to keep up with what was being discussed.
Following the findings, an amusing gallery of some embarrassing mid-call freeze moments has been compiled.
It includes people being caught eating as the video screen freezes as well as those who lost connection while pulling an embarrassing facial expression.
Gareth Lister, director of connectivity at Virgin Media, which commissioned the research and compiled the images as part of the launch of Intelligent Wi-Fi Plus, said: "We understand how frustrating bad Wi-Fi can be and no one wants the shame of a frozen self-portrait.
"With work meetings and social events being held virtually, it's more important than ever that your Wi-Fi is on point all of the time and reaches every part of your home."
The study also found that a quarter of adults lose patience with a frozen or lagging call after just 30 seconds of problems.
Almost four in 10 are left feeling frustrated while 21 per cent feel fed up.
Of those polled, 15 per cent admitted they have taken a screenshot of someone else after they froze on the screen and 11 per cent have had their photo taken.
This includes pictures of people yawning (22 per cent), eating (17 per cent) and rolling their eyes (10 per cent).
To get around the connection issues, people have restarted devices (19 per cent), moved closer to their router (12 per cent) or even to another room (10 per cent) in search of signal.
A further 11 per cent have closed all other browsers while 10 per cent have upgraded their broadband package (10 percent).
But it's not just video calls where Brits have experienced Wi-Fi issues, with films and TV shows buffering (30 per cent) and online games lagging (12 per cent) also leaving them frustrated.
Gareth added: "People are going out of their way - quite literally to different rooms - to try and find a reliable W-Fi signal for crucial work calls or when catching up with family and friends.
"Intelligent Wi-Fi Plus with our new Wi-Fi Pods will provide faster and more reliable speeds throughout the entire home to help customers stay connected on all of their devices, in every room, all of the time."
With the nation once again under lockdown restrictions, Brits most want to improve Wi-Fi in their office or work from home space (16 per cent) and in their living rooms to watch Ultra-HD TV (13 per cent) during the lockdown.

Recht schleppend ist die Impfkampagne in Deutschland gestartet, es gab viel Kritik. Jetzt ist den Berliner Behörden ein tragischer Fehler unterlaufen: Dort erhielten mehrere Familienväter einen Brief mit einem Impftermin - obwohl sie bereits tot sind.
In ganz Deutschland läuft die Impfkampagne an. Zunächst sollen die besonders Gefährdeten, also etwa alte Menschen, geimpft werden. Auch in Berlin ist das so. Dort verschickt die zuständige Gesundheitsverwaltung Briefe an diejenigen, die laut Prioritätenliste an der Reihe sind, das Vakzin zu enthalten.
So weit, so gut. Doch in der Bundeshauptstadt unterlief den Ämtern dabei ein schlimmer Fehler. Gleich mehrfach sollen solche Briefe an bereits Verstorbene verschickt worden sein. Das berichtet der „Tagesspiegel“.

"Wie ein Messerstich in eine vorhandene Wunde"
Die Zeitung zitiert Gabriele D., deren Vater an den Folgen einer Infektion mit dem Virus starb. Am 11. Dezember sei ihr Vater verstorben, am 6. Januar habe die Familie dann einen zehnseitigen Brief erhalten, in dem die Stadt ihm mitteilte, dass er an der Reihe sei, sich impfen zu lassen. „Bitte achten Sie auf Ihre Gesundheit und nutzen Sie die Chance, sich mit der Impfung vor einer Covid-19-Erkrankung zu schützen“, endet das Schreiben, wie der „Tagesspiegel“ weiter berichtet.
Die Familie zeigt sich entsetzt über den Brief. „Neben all dem Kummer und der Trauer ist das wie ein Messerstich in eine vorhandene Wunde“, sagte Tochter Gabriele der Zeitung. „Wenn ich sage, dass ich mich verhöhnt fühle, ist das sehr mild ausgedrückt.“

"Wieso muss das sein? Man begreift es nicht?"
Offenbar war Familie D. aber nicht der einzige Fall. Auch der Vater von Doris Kuttner-Philipp, der am 30. November starb, habe am Dienstag einen solchen Brief erhalten. „Das war ein ziemlicher Hammer. Es tat weh. Wieso muss das sein? Man begreift es nicht?“, sagte Kuttner-Philipp dem „Tagesspiegel“.
Wie die Fehler passieren konnten, ist unklar. Laut „Tagesspiegel“ blieb eine Anfrage beim zuständigen Amt unbeantwortet.

Bei den Kontaktbeschränkungen waren Kinder unter 14 Jahren bislang eine Ausnahme. Diese Ausnahme soll nun wegfallen. Die genaue Umsetzung liegt jedoch bei den Ländern und so kippen immer mehr Bundeländer die strenge Kinder-Kontaktsperre. FOCUS Online zeigt, was ab Montag für Kinder in Ihrem Bundesland gilt.
Am Dienstag hatten Bund und Länder eine massive Verschärfung der Kontaktbeschränkungen beschlossen. Private Treffen sollen ab Montag nur noch mit einer Person, die nicht zum eigenen Haushalt gehört, möglich sein. Neu ist zudem: Kinder unter 14 Jahren - zuvor von den Einschränkungen ausgenommen - fallen jetzt nicht mehr unter eine Ausnahmeregelung.
Ein kleines Kind kann kein anderes Kind mehr zum Spielen treffen
Heißt: Ein kleines Kind kann kein anderes Kind mehr zum Spielen treffen, weil Mutter oder Vater nicht mitkommen könnten. Zwei Mütter (oder zwei Väter oder eine Mutter und ein Vater) könnten sich nicht mehr mit Kindern treffen. Und viele Eltern, die auf Kinderbetreuung durch Verwandte, Nachbarn oder Freunde angewiesen sind, müssten wieder alleine klar kommen.
"Kinder bis 14 Jahre werden nicht mitgezählt": In diesen Bundesländern gelten Ausnahmen
Baden-Württemberg wich als erstes Bundesland von den neuen Bund-Länder-Beschlüssen ab. Hier werden Kinder unter 14 Jahren von den neuen Kontaktbeschränkungen ausgenommen. "Um familiäre Härten abzumildern, und insbesondere den Bedürfnissen von Familien mit kleinen Kindern oder Alleinerziehenden gerecht zu werden", erklärte Ministerpräsident Winfried Kretschmann (Grüne) am Freitag (8. Januar) im Landtag den Beschluss.
Auch in Sachsen und Bremen werden Kinder von der maximalen Personenzahl ausgenommen werden, in Berlin Kinder von Alleinerziehenden und in Nordrhein-Westfalen zu betreuende Kinder. Bayern will Betreuungsgemeinschaften mit einer anderen Familie erlauben. Auch Schleswig-Holstein macht für die Betreuung von Kindern eine Ausnahme.

"Kann für unsere Kleinen nur hoffen, dass die Ausnahme bleibt"
Der Wegfall der Ausnahmeregelung für unter-14-Jährige sorgte für Kritik. "Ich kann nur für unsere Kleinen hoffen, dass die Ausnahme bleibt", sagte etwa Heinz Hilgers, Präsident des Deutschen Kinderschutzbundes, dem Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland. Kinder bräuchten für ihre Entwicklung Gleichaltrige, um sich zu messen und zu spielen. Auch für die Eltern bedeute eine Verschärfung in diesem Punkt eine "Katastrophe".
Grünen-Fraktionschefin Julia Willie Hamburg sagte am Donnerstag der Deutschen Presse-Agentur, mit der Beschränkung der Kontakte auf einen Haushalt plus eine Person werde die sogenannte “in-Freund-Regel“ für kleinere Kinder zur „Kein-Freund-Regel“. „Kinder komplett zu isolieren, ist kinderfeindlich“, kritisierte Hamburg.
Ob und wie die Regel in den Bundesländern umgesetzt wird, ist Entscheidung der Länder. Hier ein Überblick über alle Bundesländer.
Das gilt ab Montag für Kinder in den einzelnen Bundesländern:
Baden-Württemberg
Die grün-schwarze Landesregierung hat auf Druck der CDU bei den neuen Corona-Kontaktbeschränkungen eine weitergehende Ausnahme für Kinder beschlossen. "Um familiäre Härten abzumildern, und insbesondere den Bedürfnissen von Familien mit kleinen Kindern oder Alleinerziehenden gerecht zu werden, werden dabei Kinder bis 14 Jahren in Baden-Württemberg aber nicht mitgezählt", sagte Ministerpräsident Winfried Kretschmann (Grüne) am Freitag im Landtag.
Am Freitagvormittag hat der Landtag in einer Sondersitzung getagt, nachdem besonders die geplanten Einschränkungen für Kinder für heftige Kritik gesorgt haben. Bund und Länder hatten beschlossen, dass private Treffen nur noch mit einer Person, die nicht zum eigenen Haushalt gehört, möglich sein sollen. Vor allem die CDU hatte darauf gedrungen, dies nicht auf Kinder unter 14 anzuwenden.
Bayern
Bei der Verschärfung der Kontaktbeschränkungen in Bayern hat Ministerpräsident Söder eine "praktikable Lösung" für Kinder unter drei Jahren angekündigt: Sie sollen nicht mitgezählt werden. Dies teilte er am Freitag (8. Januar) bei einer Pressekonferenz mit.
Zwei Familien können sich also fest zusammenschließen, um die Kinderbetreuung gemeinsam zu organisieren. Das könnte nötig sein, weil Kitas nur Notbetreuung anbieten.
Die elfte Corona-Verordnung für Bayern soll am Freitag nach der Regierungserklärung von Ministerpräsident Markus Söder veröffentlicht werden. Im Beschluss des bayerischen Kabinetts heißt es bereits: "Private Zusammenkünfte werden nur noch im Kreis der Angehörigen des eigenen Hausstandes und mit maximal einer weiteren nicht im Haushalt lebenden Person gestattet." Dabei gelten auch Kinder als Personen.

Berlin
In Berlin gilt die Ausnahme lediglich für Kinder von Alleinerziehenden.Die umstrittenen Pläne zur schrittweisen Öffnung der Berliner Schulen trotz Corona-Lockdowns sind teilweise vom Tisch. Bisher war der Plan, ab 11. Januar für abschlussrelevante Jahrgänge generell wieder Wechselunterricht in kleinen Gruppen anzubieten. Bereits eine Woche später - am 18. Januar - sollten Grundschüler der Klassen 1 bis 3 folgen. Nun gilt: Ob Wechselunterricht mit Lernen zu Hause und in der Schule angeboten wird, sollen die jeweiligen Schulen und Elternvertreter selbst entscheiden.
Brandenburg
Kinder unter 14 Jahren sind von der Regelung ausgenommen, erklärte Ministerpräsident Dietmar Woidke (SPD) am Freitag nach der Kabinettssitzung in Potsdam.
Bremen
Die neuen strengen Kontaktbeschränkungen zur Eindämmung der Corona-Pandemie werden im Bundesland Bremen nicht für Kinder gelten. Von kommendem Montag an sind private Treffen nur noch mit einer weiteren Person erlaubt - zuzüglich Kinder bis einschließlich zwölf Jahren. "Es geht um Betreuungsmöglichkeiten. Eine strikte Handhabung würde ganz viele Betreuungsmöglichkeiten zerschlagen", sagte der Sprecher des Bremer Senats, Christian Dohle, am Freitag.
Hamburg
Künftig darf sich in Hamburg ein Haushalt nur noch mit einer weiteren Person treffen. Dabei gibt es keine Ausnahmen für Kinder mehr. Bislang konnten maximal fünf Menschen aus zwei Haushalten zusammenkommen, wobei Kinder unter 14 Jahren nicht mitgezählt wurden. In Hamburg gelten die Regeln anders als in den anderen Bundesländern bereits ab Freitag, 8. Januar.
Hessen
In Hessen dürfen sich nach der neuen Verordnung Angehörige eines Haushaltes im öffentlichen Raum nur noch mit einer weiteren Person treffen. Auch Kinder zählen dabei mit. Ausnahmen gibt es für die gemeinsame Kinderbetreuung von bis zu drei Familien oder für die Begleitung und Betreuung minderjähriger oder unterstützungsbedürftiger Personen. Familien, die dies in Anspruch nehmen, werden dazu angehalten, weitere Kontakte möglichst zu vermeiden.
Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Bei den verschärften Kontaktbeschränkungen in der Corona-Pandemie kann es in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern für Kinder bis zwölf Jahre Ausnahmen geben. Dies gelte, wenn es für die Betreuung der Kinder notwendig sei, sagte Ministerpräsidentin Manuela Schwesig (SPD) am Freitag in Schwerin.
Niedersachsen
In Niedersachsen dürfen sich bis Ende Januar nur noch die Mitglieder eines Haushalts mit einer weiteren Person treffen, egal welchen Alters. Für Kindern von getrennt lebenden Eltern sind davon ausgenommen, genauso wie Menschen mit Behinderung. In dem Bundesland gibt es zudem Pläne, ab Mitte Januar zumindest Grundschüler wieder in die Schulen zu lassen.
Nordrhein-Westfalen
Treffen im öffentlichen Raum sind laut der Verordnung nur zwischen den Angehörigen eines Haushaltes und einer weiteren Person zulässig. Diese Person darf von "zu betreuenden Kindern aus ihrem Hausstand" begleitet werden. Damit sind kleinere Kinder gemeint.
Also: Eine Mutter oder ein Vater darf mit den Kindern, die Betreuung benötigen, eine andere Familie (Haushalt) in der Öffentlichkeit treffen. Anderes Beispiel: Zwei Mütter können sich mit ihren jeweiligen Kindern auf dem Spielplatz treffen, wenn die Kinder betreut werden müssen. Das können natürlich auch zwei Väter mit ihren kleinen Kindern sein.
Kinder und insbesondere Einzelkinder, bräuchten den Kontakt zu Gleichaltrigen, unterstrich der Städtetag. Darunter sind nach dem Verständnis des kommunalen Spitzenverbandes alle Kids im Alter unter 14 Jahren, aber auch Ältere mit besonderem Betreuungsbedarf zu fassen. Es gibt keine starre Altersgrenze, erklärt zu dieser Frage das Gesundheitsministerium. Das entscheidende Kriterium sei der Betreuungsbedarf. Für Jugendliche dürfte das in der Regel nicht mehr der Fall sein. Es gehe bei der Erweiterung auch darum, dass Eltern mit kleineren Kindern von Kontakten nicht völlig ausgeschlossen sind.
Rheinland-Pfalz
Rheinland-Pfalz hat bei den Kontaktbeschränkungen zur Eindämmung der Corona-Pandemie eine Abweichung von der Bund-Länder-Vereinbarung beschlossen. Die rheinland-pfälzische Ministerpräsidentin Malu Dreyer (SPD) teilte nach einer Kabinettsitzung am Freitag (8. Januar) mit, in der ab Montag wirksamen Landesverordnung seien Kinder im Kita-Alter von der Verschärfung der Kontaktbeschränkung auf einen Hausstand plus eine weitere Person ausgenommen.
Saarland
Die strengeren Kontaktbeschränkungen gelten ab Montag auch im Saarland: Erlaubt ist dann nur noch der Kontakt zu einer einzigen Person, die nicht im Haushalt lebt. Ausnahmen - etwa für kleine Kinder - wird es nicht geben. Ministerpräsident Tobias Hans (CDU) konkretisierte: Die Regel gilt, egal wo man sich trifft. Wenn aber zwingende Gründe vorliegen, etwa die Betreuung von kleinen Kindern und Angehörigen mit einer Behinderung, sollen Ausnahmen erlaubt sein.
So dürfen beispielsweise Tochter und Ehemann gemeinsam pflegebedürftige Eltern besuchen. Zulässig sein soll auch eine wechselseitige Kinderbetreuung zwischen zwei festen Bezugshaushalten, zudem sollen statt einem zwei Kinder zur Betreuung bei den Großeltern abgegeben werden können. Zudem sollen feste Betreuungsgemeinschaften gebildet werden dürfen.
Sachsen
Nach Beratungen von Bund und Ländern hat Sachsens Regierung die neuen Corona-Regeln für den Freistaat festgelegt. So werden die Kontaktbeschränkungen verschärft, wie Gesundheitsministerin Petra Köpping (SPD) am Freitagabend nach einer Sitzung des Kabinetts erklärte. Ein Hausstand darf sich demnach nur noch mit einer weiteren Person treffen, Ausnahmen soll es aber für die Kinderbetreuung geben. Dafür dürfen sich zwei Haushalte weiterhin treffen und mit der Betreuung abwechseln. Köpping sprach von einer "lebensnahen Lösung". Die neue Corona-Schutzverordnung, die eine Verlängerung des Lockdowns vorsieht, gilt vom 11. Januar bis zum 7. Februar.
Sachsen-Anhalt
Sachsen-Anhalt übernimmt die bundesweiten Regelungen: Treffen sind nur noch zwischen einem Hausstand mit einer weiteren Person möglich, Kinder werden davon nicht mehr ausgenommen. Sozialministerin Petra Grimm-Benne (SPD) wies laut „mdr“ darauf hin, dass Kinder bis 14 Jahren nicht mehr von dieser Regelung ausgenommen sind.
Schleswig-Holstein
Die Landesregierung von Schleswig-Holstein setzt die Bund-Länder-Beschlüsse vom Dienstag um. Dies teilte Gesundheitsminister Heiner Garg (FDP) am Freitag (8. Januar) in Kiel mit. Dabei sind Ausnahmen zur Sicherstellung der Betreuung von Kindern unter 14 Jahren möglich. So können beispielsweise zwei Haushalte die Betreuung der jeweiligen Kinder gemeinsam sicherstellen.
Thüringen
Für Kinder gibt es keine Ausnahmen mehr, hat Thüringen bereits in einer neuen Corona-Verordnung veröffentlicht. Demnach dürfen sich Angehörige eines Haushalts und Personen, für die ein Sorge- oder Umgangsrecht besteht, mit nur einer weiteren Person aus einem anderen Haushalt treffen.

Bisikletiyle 10 yıl sürecek dünya turana çıkarak 4 kıtada, 13 ülke ziyaret eden Japon fotoğraf sanatçısı Hirohisa Tajima (33), Antalya’nın Alanya ilçesinde mola verdi. Bugüne kadar yaklaşık 40 bin kilometre yol kat eden Tajima, Alanya turunu ise yamaç paraşütüyle uçarak gökyüzünden yaptı. Japon fotoğraf sanatçısı Hirohisa Tajima, 10 yıl boyunca dünyayı bisikleti ve sırt çantasıyla gezmeye karar verdi. Tajima, 2019 yılında sadece sırt çantasıyla başladığı turda Avrupa'da Fransa ve Almanya’yı, Amerika'da Arjantin, Bolivya ve Peru'yu, Antarktika kıtasını, Asya'da Hindistan, Endonezya ve Fiji'yi gezdi. Ardından yolculuğuna bisikletle devam eden Tajima, 2020 yılının ocak ayında bisikletiyle yola çıkarak üç ay boyunca Vietnam, Kamboçya ve Tayland'ı ziyaret etti. Ancak korona virüs nedeniyle bir süre gezisine ara veren Japon fotoğrafçı Yunanistan'da sınır kapısının açıldığını duyunca, bisikletini de yanına alarak geçen sene 8 Temmuz’da uçakla Atina'ya geldi. Daha sonra 2 ay Yunanistan'ı, 2 ay da Bulgaristan'ı gezen Tajima, 20 Kasım'da Kapıkule Sınır Kapısı'ndan Türkiye'ye giriş yaptı. Gökyüzünde heyecan dolu dakikalar yaşadı Türkiye’de sıra ile Edirne, Tekirdağ, İstanbul, Yalova, Bursa, Balıkesir, İzmir, Aydın Muğla ve Antalya’yı gezen Tajima, son olarak Alanya’da mora verdi. Tajima, binlerce turistin tercih ederek adrenalin yaşadığı yamaç paraşütüyle gökyüzünden Alanya’yı turlamak istedi. İnternette araştırmalar yapan Japon gezgin Alanya’nın en iyi yamaç paraşütü ekibini bularak Alanya'nın Tepe Mahallesi'ndeki Yassı Tepe mevkiindeki 700 metre yükseklikten atlayış gerçekleştirdi. Pilot yardımıyla yamaç paraşütüyle atlayan Tajima, Alanya semalarını turlarken heyecan dolu dakikalar yaşadı. “Uçuş çok havalıydı ve çok güzel hissettim” Uçuş sonrası gazetecilere açıklama yapan Tajima, Alanya’yı çok beğendiğini söyledi. Tajima, “TripAdvisor sitesinde 2020 yılının 1’incisi olan firmayı buldum. Bugün uçuş gerçekleştirdik. 700 metre yükseklikte uçtuk. Çok beğendim. Alanya geneli, plajları çok güzel. Uçuş çok fantastik ve büyüleyiciydi benim için. Çok havalıydı ve çok güzel hissettim” dedi. “Alanya’da uçmak istiyordum” Dünyayı bisikletle gezdiğini belirterek, Antalya’da uçuş eğitimi aldığı için Alanya’da uçmak istediğini aktaran Tajima,“Antalya’da uçuş eğitmeni Ali bey var. Onu tanıyordum zaten. Ondan eğitim aldım. O bana Alanya’yı tavsiye etti. Onun aracılığıyla Alanya’ya geldim” diye konuştu. Türkiye'de toplam 3 ay kalacak ve ardından Gürcistan'a geçecek olan Tajima, oradan Ermenistan ve İran'a gideceğini hedefliyor.

Die Mainzer Firma Biontech hat mit der Entwicklung eines Impfstoffes Millionen Menschen in Deutschland und auf der ganzen Welt Hoffnung gemacht. Was kann Deutschland aus der Erfolgsgeschichte lernen? Der FDP-Vorsitzende Christian Lindner sagt im Interview mit FOCUS Online, was sich ändern muss und wo die größten Chancen liegen.
FOCUS Online: In Deutschland werden jetzt zwei Wissenschaftler gefeiert. Ihr Biotech-Impfstoff gilt schon als Alleskönner. Wissenschaftler als Heilsbringer - verändert das unser Land?
Christian Lindner: Die Geschichte sollte uns inspirieren. Zwei Menschen mit Zuwanderungsgeschichte durchlaufen erfolgreich unser Bildungssystem. Sie werden als Paar Spitzenforscher, gründen ein Unternehmen, schaffen Arbeitsplätze und entwickeln mit Gentechnik eine für die Menschheit segensreiche Innovation. Das ist eine großartige Erfolgsgeschichte. Sie ist nicht repräsentativ für unser Land. Aber sie zeigt, wie unser Land werden könnte.
OK - bleiben wir also einen Moment bei der Inspiration. Wie sähe Deutschland als Biotech-Land aus?
Lindner: Die Lehren wären erstens mehr Forschungsfreiheit und Technologieoffenheit. Die Gentechnik wollten manche vor zwanzig Jahren zurückdrängen. Das ist bis heute so. Auch bei bestimmten CO2-Speichermethoden oder den Verbrennungsmotor gibt es solche Gedanken.
Zweitens mehr Gründergeist mit besseren Bedingungen für privates Risikokapital. Wenn wir zukunftssichere Arbeitsplätze wollen, dann muss Deutschland für Pioniere attraktiv sein. Stattdessen gibt es Bürokratismus und Neid.
Chancen für Frauen
Drittens mehr Chancen für Frauen in Spitzenpositionen, indem wir Rollenbilder durchbrechen, auch Mädchen schon früher für technische Fragen interessieren und die Vereinbarkeit von Karriere und Beruf verbessern.
Viertens ein modernes Einwanderungsrecht für Menschen, die sich etwas aufbauen und beitragen wollen. Und fünftens ein neues Bildungssystem, das alle Talente zum Strahlen bringt und nicht länger den Erfolg so stark abhängig von der familiären Herkunft macht. Dazu werden wir nicht nur mehr investieren müssen. Ich bin überzeugt, dass es zwischen den Bundesländern mehr Kooperation und mehr Gemeinsamkeit geben muss.

Bei der Gentechnik hatte ich lange das Gefühl, der Zug ist aus Deutschland abgefahren. Deutsche Unternehmen wie BASF haben ja schon in den USA Asyl gesucht und gefunden. Kann Deutschland überhaupt noch Gentechnik? Und denken die meisten dabei nicht nur an Monsanto?
Lindner: Auf den ausgetretenen Pfaden aufzuholen, wird schwer. Aber es gibt ja immer wieder neue technologische Pfade, wo andere weniger Vorsprung haben. Im Bereich mRNA-Impfstoffe haben wir jetzt so ein Beispiel. Neben Biontech gibt es auch CureVac bei uns. Für solche Technologiesprünge brauchen wir Offenheit bei uns. Der amerikanische Soziologe Richard Florida sagte, dass Technologie, Talent und Toleranz zusammen kommen müssen für Innovation. In meinen Worten eine Kultur der Freiheit, in der kluge Köpfe Zugang zu Kapital haben, dass sie in ihre Ideen investieren können.
Die Bundesregierung weist gern darauf hin, dass bei Biontech der Staat mit Geld eine Rolle gespielt hat, ebenso wie bei Curevac. Andererseits: Hat nicht privates Kapital bei beiden die entscheidende Rolle gespielt - und was lässt sich daraus lernen?
Lindner: Gegen staatliche Forschungsförderung spricht nichts, im Gegenteil kann man diese über das Steuerrecht weiter vereinfachen, so dass auch der Mittelstand stärker profitiert. Die direkte Kapitalbeteiligung durch Peter Altmaier bei CureVac überzeugt mich dagegen nicht. Die Finanzierung sollte schon in privater Hand bleiben.
Doppeltes Problem
Hier haben wir ein doppeltes Problem in Deutschland. Erstens ist es sehr schwierig, große Summen zu mobilisieren. Die Wachstumsphase von Unternehmen und langwierige Vorhanden wie im Bio-Bereich sind kapitalintensiv. Hier müssen wir die vom Staat vorgegebenen Rahmenbedingungen so ändern, dass die Billionen Euro privaten Kapitals im Finanzsektor nicht überproportional in Immobilien und Staatsanleihen angelegt werden müssen.
Und zweitens laufen während der langen Entwicklungsphasen mit hohen Risiken im Bio-Bereich enorme Verluste an. Diese müssen später gegen Gewinne bei der Steuer natürlich verrechnet werden, damit das attraktiv ist. Im deutschen Steuerrecht verfallen diese Verluste aber bei einem Wechsel der Anteilseigner. Das klingt wie ein bürokratisches Detail, ist aber ein enormes Wachstumshemmnis.

Sie haben einen Fonds für Gentechnik vorgeschlagen. Wie soll der funktionieren und was erhoffen sie sich davon?
Lindner: Die Bundesregierung sollte einen Dachfonds einrichten, der nicht direkt in Unternehmen investiert, sondern nur mit privaten Fonds und Anlagegesellschaften. Diese können dann die öffentlichen Mittel investieren, wenn sie auch eigenes Kapital dazu einbringen. So bleibt die private unternehmerische Kompetenz und Risikoabwägung erhalten, zugleich werden aber mehr private Mittel mobilisiert.
Das Ziel ist, eine Brücke zwischen der Nachfrage nach Risikokapital einerseits und den vorhandenen Sparvermögen der Deutschen andererseits zu bauen. Der Fonds sollte alle Bemühungen bündeln und die Bereiche der roten, grünen und weißen Gentechnologie gleichermaßen adressieren.
Helfen Sie doch bitte mal unserer Phantasie auf die Sprünge - wie könnte sich unser Leben durch Gentechnik verbessern?
Lindner: Das kann man noch gar nicht wissen. Individuelle Therapien in der Medizin angepasst auf die eigene DNA werden erforscht. Veränderte Züchtungsmethoden für Pflanzen können Sorten an den Klimawandel anpassen, um die Welternährung zu sichern. Über biologisch abbaubare Waschsubstanzen, Biomasse statt Plastik und verbessere Biokraftstoffe wird in der Industrie gesprochen.
Trend sollten wir nicht verpassen
Das Ziel ist also Umweltschutz und Schonung von Ressourcen. Das alles passiert - die Frage ist, ob auch bei uns. Bei der Digitalisierung haben wir schon viel verpasst, beim nächsten Megatrend Biologisierung sollten wir das nicht wiederholen.
Die so genannte Genschere hat dieses Jahr den Nobelpreis bekommen. Welche Hoffnung, vielleicht sogar konkrete Aussicht verbinden Sie damit? Werden wir Krankheiten besiegen können?
Lindner: Mit diesem Verfahren können in der Biomedizin Veränderungen an einer festgelegten Stelle der DNA präzise herbeigeführt werden. Ein Team in Israel hat Hirn- und Eierstockkrebszellen bei Mäusen damit unschädlich gemacht. Die Überlebensrate stieg um 80 Prozent. Das könnte Chemotherapien beim Menschen durch eine Therapie ohne Nebenwirkungen ersetzen.
Gentechnikgesetzgebung ist veraltet
In der grünen Gentechnik können auch Allergene in Pflanzen reduziert werden. Die geltende europäische Gentechnikgesetzgebung ist allerdings veraltet. Diese neue, schonende Methode wird nicht berücksichtigt. Die Bundesregierung sollte sich auf europäischer Ebene für eine technologieoffene Überarbeitung des EU-Gentechnikrechts einsetzen.
Der Biontech-Erfolg ist Triumph von Forschern, die sich zu äußerst erfolgreichen Unternehmern entwickelt haben. Sie sind jetzt sehr reich. Wird es in der Einwanderungsdebatte etwas verändern, dass Frau Türeci und Herr Sahin einen türkischen Migrationshintergrund haben?
Lindner: Das wünsche ich mir. Der Erfolg von beiden zeigt, dass unsere Gesellschaft von gesteuerter Einwanderung profitieren kann. Ich betone, gesteuert und nicht unkontrolliert. Wir sind für die besten Köpfe allerdings nicht attraktiv. Andere Länder laufen uns den Rang ab.
Alltagsrassismus noch nicht überwunden
Unser Einwanderungsrecht ist bürokratisch. Das könnten wir nach Vorbild Kanada erweitern. Die Aufgabe der ursprünglichen Staatsangehörigkeit mit der Einbürgerung ist eine weitere Hürde, die man auf die Enkelgeneration verschieben sollte. Also Doppelpass bei Einbürgerung, dafür nicht auf Dauer. Und Steuern und Abgaben machen es den Menschen bei uns unnötig schwer, sich etwas aufzubauen.
Hinzukommt, dass wir leider den Alltagsrassismus nicht überwunden haben. Viele mit fremd klingendem Nachnahmen werden nicht einmal zum Vorstellungsgespräch gebeten. Da müssen wir an uns arbeiten.
Letzte Frage, Herr Lindner: Die beiden Biotech-Eigentümer dürften jetzt Milliardäre sein. Es sieht aber so aus, als ob sie sich aus Reichtum nichts machen würden. Sahin fährt ein altes Mountainbike. Kann so etwas in einer Gesellschaft, die von Neidreflexen nicht frei ist, stilbildend wirken?
Lindner: Mich beeindruckt das. Aber das muss eine freie Entscheidung bleiben. Ohnehin sind es oft nur Klischees von Villen, Yachten und Juwelen, die über Vermögende im Umlauf sind. Es handelt sich ja überwiegend um Betriebsvermögen. Und die wirklich sehr vermögenden Familien, die ich kenne, legen großen Wert auf Diskretion und Zurückhaltung.

Jill Biden, geborene Jacobs, 69 Jahre alt, Mutter, Lehrerin, einstige Second Lady (ihr Mann war unter Barack Obama Vizepräsident) wird Amerikas neue First Lady. Man wird von dieser Frau oft hören, gewiss mehr als von ihrer Vorgängerin Melania Trump, die sich in ihrer Rolle erkennbar unwohl fühlte und die Öffentlichkeit scheute. Jill Biden ist weit mehr als die „Frau an seiner Seite“. Längst hat sie Mitarbeiter für ihr Büro im East Wing des Weißen Hauses ausgesucht. Stabschef, Pressesprecherin, et cetera. Jill Biden ist bereit loszulegen. Doch bis dahin war es ein langer Weg.

The well-known brand, which has been around for more than 80 years, will disappear from shelves in July.
The cheese is owned by Canada's Saputo Dairy Australia which announced last year it would "retire" the name.
Coon is historically used as a racist slur, and Aboriginal groups have lobbied for its rebranding for decades.
It is one of a number of brands to face pressure to rebrand following last year's Black Lives Matter movement.
"The name Cheer has the significance of pleasure and joy," said Saputo's chief executive Lino Saputo in a statement, adding that it spent more than six months deliberating over the new name.
The cheese got its original name from American pioneering cheese maker Edward William Coon who patented a ripening process in the 1920s.
In November, global food giant Nestle made a similar move to stamp out some of their Australian product names after they were deemed offensive.
It said Redskins and Chicos lollies will be changed to Red Ripper and Cheekies, saying the original names were now "out of step" with the company's values.
The new packaging for those products is due to appear in shops from early next year.
The name change for Coon Cheese has divided public opinion in Australia. Some have welcomed the move while others have voiced their anger on social media.
"Treating people with respect and without discrimination is one of our basic principles and it is imperative that we continue to uphold this in everything we do," added Mr Saputo.

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Mae fideo sy'n dangos y gorau o dref fechan yn y canolbarth wedi dod yn annisgwyl o boblogaidd yn Hwngari.
Mae gan Drefaldwyn ym Mhowys gysylltiadau llenyddol gyda Hwngari oherwydd baled gan y bardd János Arany 160 mlynedd yn ôl o'r enw .css-po6dm6-ItalicText{font-style:italic;}A Walesi Bárdok (Beirdd Cymru), ac mae nifer o blant ysgol Hwngari wedi dysgu canu'r faled.
Fe wnaeth dros 30 o Hwngariaid greu llythyr fideo i Gymru o'r enw "Gadewch i ni godi pontydd".
Mae'r ateb o Gymru yn rhyw fath o lythyr caru sydd wedi cael ei wylio mwy na hanner miliwn o weithiau ar y we, ac wedi ymddangos ar deledu a radio yn Hwngari.
Yn y fideo mae disgyblion Ysgol Gynradd yr Eglwys yng Nghymru, Trefaldwyn, maer y dref a chyn-feiri, cynghorwyr a pherchnogion busnes.
Mae rhai yn canu tra bod eraill wedi dysgu rhywfaint o Hwngareg yn arbennig i'r achlysur.
Dywedodd Jill Kibble o gyngor tref Trefaldwyn: "Mae gan Drefaldwyn gysylltiad diddorol gyda Hwngari, ac mae'n wych gwybod bod cenedlaethau o Hwngariaid wedi dysgu enw ein tref fechan yn yr ysgol.
"Pan glywon ni am neges fideo hyfryd Magyar Cymru dros yr haf, roedden ni'n gwybod fod rhaid ymateb. Er gwaethaf cyfnod heriol, daeth y prosiect fideo i fodolaeth er mwyn rhannu ein tref hyfryd gyda phobl Hwngari."
Cafodd fideo Hwngari ei wneud ym mhentref Kunágota, sy'n cael ei ystyried y pentref mwyaf Cymreig oherwydd traddodiad o gynnal cyngherddau Cymraeg/Hwngareg yno.
Yn y fideo mae plant o Kunágota, cantorion opera a gwerin ac addysgwyr.
Sefydlydd Magyar Cymru yw Balint Brunner, ac ef oedd cynhyrchydd fideo Hwngari.
Dywedodd: "Diolch i'r faled enwog, mae Trefaldwyn efallai'n fwy adnabyddus yn Hwngari na Chaerdydd neu unrhyw ddinas arall yng Nghymru.
"Er hynny, roedd yn syndod hyfryd dysgu faint y mae'r trigolion yno yn gwerthfawrogi'r cysylltiad gyda Hwngari bell.
"Mae fideo Trefaldwyn wedi dod yn boblogaidd yn Budapest a thu hwnt, gan fod y prif gyfryngau yma wedi adrodd am y weithred hyfryd.
"Ry'n ni hefyd yn cael ymholiadau gan wyliau gwerin sy'n ymddiddori yn niwylliant Cymru sydd am i ni godi pontydd pellach rhwng Hwngari a'r dref."
Mae A Walesi Bárdok yn adrodd hanes lladdfa mewn gloddest yng Nghastell Trefaldwyn gan y brenin Edward I wedi i'r beirdd yno wrthod moesymgrymu iddo fel concwerwr.
Ysgrifennodd János Arany y penillion wedi iddo wrthod ysgrifennu cerdd i ddathlu'r Ymerawdwr Franz Josef o Awstria yn dilyn methiant chwyldro 1848 yn ei erbyn.
Mae cynlluniau eraill i ddod â diwylliant Hwngari i Drefaldwyn pan fydd cyfyngiadau coronafeirws wedi'u llacio, gan gynnwys "Diwrnod Hwngari" gyda cherddorion ifanc o ysgol fiolín Kodály yn Sir Gaerfyrddin, a bydd cofeb barhaol hefyd yn cael ei gosod yn y dref i Arany.

SAG-AFTRA has branded the postponement of the Grammys ‘extremely disappointing’ as the awards show now clashes with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.

SAG-AFTRA has branded the postponement of the Grammys ‘extremely disappointing’ as the awards show now clashes with the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards.
The Grammys were originally slated to take place on January 31, but were postponed due to concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
They have now been pushed back to March 14 – the same date as the SAG Awards.
In a statement, SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) wrote: ‘We are extremely disappointed to hear of the conflicting date, March 14th, announced today for this year’s Grammy Awards telecast.
‘We announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organisations throughout the industry.’
The statement continues: ‘The SAG Awards recognises outstanding acting performances over the past year. We will again put on a spectacular show that accomplishes that mission.
‘Our two organisations, SAG-AFTRA and the Recording Academy, share members and work together effectively to advocate for artists in many areas.
‘In an environment that is increasingly challenging for televised awards programs, we also have a mutual interest in successfully showcasing the artistry and talent of our respective memberships.
‘We are in contact with the Recording Academy and will continue to work with our sister organisations to find ways to make this year’s awards season as successful as possible.’
The Recording Academy has not yet commented on the conflict.
It announced the Grammys delay in a statement, which read: ‘After thoughtful conversations with health experts, our host and artists scheduled to appear, we are rescheduling the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards to be broadcast Sunday, March 14, 2021.
‘The deteriorating Covid situation in Los Angeles, with hospital services being overwhelmed, ICUs having reached capacity, and new guidance from state and local governments have all led us to conclude that postponing our show was the right thing to do.
‘Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those in our music community and the hundreds of people who work tirelessly on producing the show.
‘We want to thank all of the talented artists, the staff, our vendors and especially this year’s nominees for their understanding, patience and willingness to work with us as we navigate these unprecedented times.’
Both awards ceremonies are set to be held in Los Angeles – the SAG Awards at the Shrine Auditorium, and the Grammys at the Staples Center.
Metro.co.uk has contacted the Recording Academy for comment.

Medikal Onkoloji Uzmanı Doç. Dr. Yasemin Kemal, kanser hastaları ve Kovid19 aşısı hakkında bilgi vererek, “Ülkemizde Çin aşısının etkisi kanıtlanıp kullanılmaya başlandığında biz de uygun hastalarımıza bu aşıyı önereceğiz” dedi. VM Medical Park Samsun Hastanesi Medikal Onkoloji Kliniği’nden Doç. Dr. Yasemin Kemal, kanser hastalarının aşılardan fayda gördüğünün kanıtlandığını söyledi. Kemal, “Eskiden bazı kanser hastalarının bağışıklık yanıtı oluşturamayacağına inanılıyordu. Ama gerek grip (influenza) aşısı gerekse zatürre (pnömokok) aşısı kanser hastalarında uzun yıllardır etkili olarak kullanılan aşılar oldu” diye konuştu. Aşı türü önemli Doç. Dr. Yasemin Kemal, aşı türünün önemli olduğunu ifade ederek, “İnsanlarda klinik çalışmaları devam eden 61 Kovid19 aşı çalışması bulunmakta ve 17’sinde test son aşamalara gelmiş durumdadır. Zayıflatılmış canlı virüs aşıları, özellikle hızla ilerleyen hastalığı olanlarda veya kemoterapi görenlerde enfeksiyona neden olabileceği için kanser hastaları için önerilmemektedir. Hem PfizerBioNTech hem de Moderna Kovid19 aşıları mRNA tipindedir. Aslında genetik veya mRNA aşılarında kullanılan teknoloji, başlangıçta kanserle savaşmak için geliştirildi ve çalışmalar, hastaların bu tür aşı ile kanserle ilişkili proteinlere karşı bağışıklık tepkileri oluşturabileceğini gösterdi. Fakat sonradan bu teknoloji Kovid19 aşı geliştirilmesinde kullanıldı. Ancak henüz bu aşıların kanser hastalarındaki etkisi, dozlaması ve güvenirliğini bilinmiyor çünkü ne PfizerBioNTech ne de Moderna'nın erken verileri kanser hastalarını ele almıyor” şeklinde konuştu. Öncelikli aşılanması gereken grup mu? Doç. Dr. Yasemin Kemal, şu bilgileri verdi: “Ülkemizde büyük oranda kullanılması beklenen Çin aşısı ise inaktif (ölü) aşıdır. Bu aşının da henüz faz3 sonuçları yayınlanmadı ve ne kadar etkili olduğu konusunda bilgi sınırlı. Fakat diğer inaktif aşılarda olduğu gibi etkili ve güvenilir olduğu düşünülmektedir. Etkisi kanıtlanıp kullanılmaya başlandığında biz de uygun hastalarımıza bu aşıyı önereceğiz. Bazı kanser hastalarının Kovid19 enfeksiyonunda risk altında olduğunu gösteren birçok çalışma mevcut. Özellikle de akciğer kanseri hastalarında bu riski daha fazla. Bu sebeple Kovid19 aşısı için öncelikli hastalar yaş ve yandaş hastalıklar da göz önüne alınarak belirlenmelidir.”

Die Corona-Pandemie hat in Deutschland im vergangenen Jahr für eine Rekordneuverschuldung von 130,5 Milliarden Euro gesorgt. Der Betrag blieb damit deutlich unter den Erwartungen. Es gibt aber auch eine schlechte Nachricht.
Durch die Corona-Pandemie hat der Bund im vergangenen Jahr so hohe neue Schulden aufgenommen wie noch nie in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik. Insgesamt wurden zusätzliche Kredite in Höhe von 130,5 Milliarden Euro aufgenommen, wie am Dienstag aus dem Finanzministerium verlautete. Der bisherige Rekordwert lag bei 44 Milliarden Euro im Jahr 2009.
Die Neuverschuldung blieb damit aber deutlich unter dem Kreditrahmen von bis zu 218 Milliarden Euro, den der Bundestag bewilligt und damit die Schuldenbremse außer Kraft gesetzt hatte. Im Finanzministerium wurde das damit begründet, dass die Konjunktur nicht so stark eingebrochen sei wie befürchtet. Dadurch lägen die Steuereinnahmen über den Erwartungen, während etwa die Ausgaben für Corona-Hilfen und soziale Sicherung geringer seien.
Dass diese Summe bei weitem nicht ausgeschöpft wurde, dürfte aber auch daran liegen, dass ein Großteil der für November und Dezember gedachten Wirtschaftshilfen erst jetzt an die Unternehmen ausgezahlt wird.
„Unsere entschlossene Hilfspolitik wirkt“, erklärte Finanzminister Olaf Scholz (SPD). „Wir haben viel Geld für den Gesundheitsschutz, zur Unterstützung der Wirtschaft und zur Sicherung von Beschäftigung eingesetzt.“ Das zahle sich auf vielfache Weise aus.
„Trotz der Pandemie haben wir die Finanzen gut im Griff“, fügte Scholz hinzu. „Wir haben die Kraft, weiter massiv gegen die Corona-Krise zu halten, und genau das tun wir.“
Dieses Jahr sind 180 Milliarden Euro Schulden geplant
Der Rekord bei der Neuverschuldung könnte aber bereits in diesem Jahr erneut übertroffen werden. Im Bundeshaushalt für 2021 ist eine Neuverschuldung von 180 Milliarden Euro eingeplant.
Der Etat sieht allein fast 40 Milliarden Euro für Unternehmenshilfen und 35 Milliarden Euro als Reserve für noch nicht bezifferte, mögliche Ausgaben in Zusammenhang mit der Viruspandemie vor. Im Finanzministerium herrscht daher Zuversicht, dass das Geld trotz der nun geplanten Ausweitung der Corona-Hilfen im Rahmen der Überbrückungshilfen III reicht.

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Mae "golau ar ddiwedd y twnnel" oherwydd brechlynnau Covid-19 ond rhaid aros yn ddiogel yn y cyfamser, medd y corff sy'n cynrychioli byrddau iechyd Cymru.
Yn ôl ffigyrau diweddaraf y gwasanaeth iechyd mae dros 2,700 o gleifion coronafeirws yn ysbytai Cymru ar hyn o bryd.
Ond mae tri brechlyn yn erbyn y feirws wedi cael eu cymeradwyo yma bellach - Pfizer-BioNTech, Oxford-AstraZeneca a Moderna.
Dywedodd cyfarwyddwr Conffederasiwn GIG Cymru, Darren Hughes bod y sefyllfa yn "wirioneddol ddifrifol ar y funud".
Pan gyhoeddwyd y ffigyrau diweddaraf ddydd Iau, roedd 1,700 o bobl gyda Covid-19 yn cael eu trin yn ysbytai Cymru.
Roedd 1,000 o gleifion eraill mewn ysbytai yn adfer o'r feirws. Mae'r ddau ffigwr yma ar eu lefelau uchaf ers dechrau'r pandemig.
Mae nifer y cleifion Covid-19 sydd mewn unedau gofal dwys hefyd ar ei lefel uchaf ers mis Ebrill.
Fe wnaeth Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru gofnodi 56 o farwolaethau yn rhagor ddydd Gwener, gan ddod â chyfanswm y marwolaethau ers dechrau'r pandemig i 3,857.
Dywedodd Mr Hughes wrth BBC Radio Wales fore Sadwrn bod unedau gofal dwys yn gweithredu ar 165% o'i gapasiti arferol.
Disgrifiodd y broses o frechu pawb yng Nghymru fel "tasg enfawr" i staff sydd eisoes dan bwysau sylweddol o ganlyniad i'r pandemig.
"Os ydych chi'n edrych ar y ffigyrau, mae Cymru ychydig y tu ôl i rannau eraill o'r DU, ond mae'n bwysig cofio bod y brechlyn yn cael ei roi gan staff iechyd," meddai.
"Rwy'n deall y bydd pethau'n cyflymu o ran faint o'r brechlyn fydd yn cael ei yrru yma, o tua 25,000 i niferoedd llawer mwy yn yr wythnosau nesaf.
"Rydyn ni'n barod i frechu ar gyfradd llawer uwch unwaith mae'r brechlynnau ar gael.
"Mae golau ar ddiwedd y twnnel gyda'r brechlynnau ond plîs gwnewch bopeth o fewn eich gallu i gadw eich hunain a'ch teulu yn ddiogel fel bod modd i'r GIG ofalu am bawb."

Smith's lucky charm for Hawaii defence

Minor tweaks to his long game - and his blossoming mullet haircut - are on the cards as Cameron Smith prepares to defend his Sony Open crown in Hawaii this week.
The Australian world No.29 won his first individual PGA title on the island last year before a tie for second at the delayed Masters in November.
Returning to Hawaii with flowing locks that are turning heads, Smith is comfortable carrying his new status as a defending champion.
"I've putted really well ... if I can get my longer stuff, and especially my irons into a good spot, I'll be able to compete every week," he said ahead of Friday's first round at the Waialae Country Club in Honolulu.
"I can make the putts when I need to make the putts.
"I just need to hit it closer, basically ... so just little steps. Hopefully it all falls into place very soon."
The same goes for his haircut, which the Brisbane local and mad Broncos fan says was inspired by those he'd seen in the NRL.
"(It was) just something fun (to) make people have a laugh and I've just kind of kept it going," he said.
"I've almost turned it into my good luck charm ... it needs a little bit of a trim at the front.
"I'd really like to go full business at the front and party at the back."
Australians will hope that luck extends until July, when Smith and compatriot Adam Scott could wear green and gold at Tokyo's delayed Olympic Games.
The pair are currently qualified as the country's top-two ranked players, Scott recently softening his attitude after bypassing Rio 2016 and admitting a Tokyo tilt held little interest.
Smith too said the Olympics had drifted off his radar but that he was keen to feature.
"Everything's just been so up and down the last year or so but it was definitely one of my goals last year," he said.
"It's still one of my goals, I'd love to be there, I'd love to represent Australia so hopefully we get the go-ahead and we can get over there."

Çok güçlü bir temelden yükselen güç birliğimizi daha da kuvvetli hale getirip, belirlediğimiz hedeflere el ele gönül gönüle ulaşacağız” diye konuştu.

Japanese Top League the place to be: Deans

Japan is fast becoming the epicentre of world rugby with former Wallabies coach Robbie Deans declaring the Top League the "new destination of choice" because of its unique, back-to-the-future model and the country's wholesome lifestyle.
With the world's premier players and coaches flocking to Japan in droves, Deans says the Top League is rapidly approaching the standards of Super Rugby.
The 2021 season, kicking off this weekend, will feature no less than a dozen Wallabies, led by skipper Michael Hooper at Toyota Verblitz, All Blacks superstars Beauden Barrett and Kieran Read and six of the Springboks' 2019 World Cup winners.
Twelve of the 16 clubs boast overseas head coaches, including Deans at the Panasonic Wild Knights and former Melbourne Rebels mentor Damien Hill at Ricoh.
Throw in the fact that Eddie Jones (Suntory), Wayne Smith (Kobe) and Sir Steve Hansen (Toyota) are on the payrolls as coaching consultants and the Top League is a veritable smorgasbord of talent, experience and smarts.
"The standard's good. It's very good and it's getting better and better," Deans told AAP from Japan.
"From when I arrived up here (in 2014), it's unrecognisable.
"You bump into players that you've coached and also coached against routinely over here. It's hard to keep up with player movements, to be fair."
The biggest improvement, Deans says, is player conditioning as a result of the influx of quality coaches.
"It's an endless list of foreign coaches up here - international coaches across half the comp," he said.
"You combine that with the IP that comes with internationals - current and former - but also Super Rugby players and now there's an even more of a push from the north as well.
"Post the (Japan 2019) World Cup, the word is out on the quality of life here so there's a lot of interest coming from the northern hemisphere for players to finish their careers here.
"It's fascinating, really. We didn't sort of come here with the intent to be here so long but we've enjoyed it and hence we're still here."
What Deans finds most appealing - and intriguing - about the competition is the format and the spread of talent across the teams.
The 23-man match-day squads can only include five foreign players, with a maximum of two overseas Test stars.
"It's a great mix when you have current internationals playing alongside each other where they've previously been competitors," said the Crusaders' five-times Super Rugby-winning coach.
"It's an element that's unique but it also captures an element of the past.
"So on our playing roster also we have a lot of 'company' players who are essentially amateurs so when they're not training or playing the game, they have a day job.
"They go to the office and they're upskilling for a career beyond their rugby career.
"So that very much captures the past. It's a great earthing mechanism for the professional players."
The Top League has very much a Barbarians feel to it, Deans said.
But don't discount the toughness.
"The living proof of the standard lifting is the Japanese rugby team," he said.
"If it's not there already, it's absolutely (reaching) Super Rugby level.
"But not across the whole comp. That's not fair to say but if you take the top certainly six teams, they'd all be competitive in Super Rugby."
Deans believes the Top League's mystique - it's almost impossible to see or read about it outside of Japan - is half the reason the competition is so successful and fast becoming "the new order".
The teams are owned by billion-dollar corporations and making profits from their recreational sporting programs isn't the motivation.
"In many ways, the model here is ahead of the game," he said.
"We're going through a bit of a reset now with COVID. But you look at professional sport, it's a brief window.
"It's not always perceived that way by those involved but the reality is you can only play, particularly a sport like professional rugby, for a short period of time.
"Yes, there is money to be made but it doesn't cater for the rest of your days.
"So the model here is very much a blast from the past in so far as 50 per cent of the playing group have a day job. They're preparing for the future and they have a job for life.
"And the reason there's not a lot of profile beyond Japan is because the companies aren't concerned about that."
Companies have separate "corporate funds" in which to allocate to rugby, volleyball, football, baseball and American football.
"But it's a recreational fund for the company and they do it for the values - the teamwork element - that they hope will translates across to the corporate sector," Deans said.
"A lot of these people go into the corporation post-playing and the motivation is pure.
"So it's stimulating but it's also challenging. The rugby is tough but it's getting tougher.
"Europe was the original destination that in the twilight of the careers that most coaches and players went to, but now this is becoming very much the destination of choice because of proximity and competitiveness now."

Dancing on Ice is marking it's 15-year anniversary today and Daily Star is looking at the worst rows, cattiest comments and worst blunders to mark the special day
Dancing on Ice has been gracing our screens for a well over a decade, with the first show airing exactly 15 years ago today.
In celebration of the ITV show's anniversary, Daily Star is taking fans on a walk down memory lane, resurfacing some of the most jaw-dropping moments the competition has ever seen.
When it comes to bust-ups, the skating show has certainly seen it's fair share over the years with many heated moments causing quite a stir, especially surrounding former judge Jason Gardiner and his extremely loose tongue.
It wasn't just certain feuds that became a talking point but the terrifying accidents that also came hand-in-hand with braving the ice.
From the infamous "you look like a walrus on ice" remark to ice skating partnership breakdowns and bloodbath accidents, we've got it all.
Jennifer Ellison showcased such flexibility when trying to execute one of the shows more ambitious moves, the scorpion kick that she sliced her head open with her own bladed boot.
The former Page 3 model's honey blonde locks turned the blood red and she was taken off stage for emergency assistance.
It sadly wasn't the end of the Brookside star's bad luck and she later needed stitches after clipping her leg again with her own ice skating boots.
Nobody can forget the moment Todd Carty, better known as Mark Fowler on EastEnders, skated off set and into the tunnel during his first live performance in 2009.
It certainly provided the comedy gold element as the staged blunder unfolded and the soap star couldn't prevent himself from stopping and ended up navigating away from the view of the camera.
Later, it was discovered that the move had been written into the performance so while it seemed quite hilarious and shocking at the time, Todd proved what an absolute professional he was.
Last year, Caprice and pro Hamish hit the headlines after becoming the first skating due to ever go their separate ways.
The shocking discovery that the pair had clashed landed after Caprice confirmed on Twitter that she would be partnered with Oscar and not Hamish on the next show.
At the time, a source told The Sun: "Caprice's relationship with Hamish was harmonious at the start but as time went on they became more strained.
"She felt he was pushing her too hard in training and Caprice started to struggle. She felt he could have been more patient and they ended up having a big row."
With the relationship damaged beyond repair and completely "unworkable" they consulted with bosses and called it quits, and Caprice soon announced she was leaving the show early.
Judge Jason Gardiner couldn't quite hold his tongue as he lunged into nasty criticism after the GC had preformed Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.
Igniting their feud, he described the TOWIE stars rendition as more "Anna Nicole Smith" than Marilyn Monroe.
Gemma clearly wasn't standing for his nonsense and fired back that he'd been "selling stories” about her.
She said: "Maybe if you didn't sell stories on me, maybe I wouldn't have been so upset this week," before cutting off Jason in his tracks with: "Boring... Next!"
Their ongoing battle seemed to escalate off of the ice too, with the TV panellist likening the reality star to a brand of "refrigerator".
The Diva Forever star had the last laugh though on Good Morning Britain when she responded to news of Jason's departure with an almighty "Hallelujah."
The clash of the titans began for Megan and Vanessa after the Love Island star had accused the professional skater of coincidentally breaking up with her own boyfriend just before the live shows.
Megan who was dating Wes Nelson, who had been partnered with the stunning German-born skater, could no longer hide her annoyance and took to social media to spill her thoughts.
The former stripper wrote, "@vanessabauer_skates love that you decide to announce your breakup with your boyfriend on the night of your 1st performance with my boyfriend!"
She continued, "You've never reached out to me once or invited me to watch you train, it pained you to introduce yourself to me last night you didn't even look me in the eye LOL hope the tactical breakup got you the headlines you wanted babe @wes.nelson."
In an interview with Loose Women, Megan issued an apology for her outburst and explained that the green eyed monster had got the better of her but sadly that wasn't enough to save her romance with Wes and the pair parted ways soon after.
One scathing comment that left a bad taste was when bad mouthed judge Jason Gardiner took aim at former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger.
Mark Wright's ex had continuously told viewers on the show that she had been lacking confidence, with that said Jason was on hand to deal her another low blow.
As she skated to the judges podium for her performance to be reviewed, she was utterly flabbergasted at the venomous comment she was greeted with.
Finishing up critiquing her rendition, Jason took aim labelling Lauren as "a Walrus on ice".
He said: "There was no connection, no heart. There was no sensuality... it had the sensuality of a walrus on ice.
"This was a beautiful piece and you could have made a lot more with it. Very disappointing."
Lauren took the comments on the chin, but viewers were left stunned by Jason's brutal remarks.

Hopeful Pucovski can play at Gabba: Langer

Australia are optimistic that injured young gun Will Pucovski will be able to play their Test series decider against India at the Gabba.
Pucovski suffered a partial shoulder dislocation while diving in the field at the SCG, where he impressed on his Test debut while opening alongside David Warner.
Squad member and former Test opener Marcus Harris is on standby and ready to for action if required on Friday, when the winner-takes-all Test starts in Brisbane.
But coach Justin Langer hopes that Pucovksi will be cleared to play the fourth Test.
"We'll probably know tonight I reckon, whether he'll be right to go," Langer told reporters on Wednesday.
"It'll either be a quick turnaround and he's back up and into it, or it might be a few weeks.
"He's a young guy, he has just played his first Test. So mentally he's going to be exhausted anyway.
"We'll keep an eye on how he pulls up today.
"With shoulders, as long as he can bat OK and catch - it's not as big a deal in Test cricket ... we're really hopeful he will get up.
"If he doesn't then the obvious thing is Marcus Harris would come in as the opener."
Langer confirmed that Pucovski had a shoulder issue before the mishap on the final day of the third Test, which seemingly amplified the problem.
"He was going to have a scan after that day's play anyway," Langer said.
Langer said that pacemen Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc should be right to back up despite the tight three-day turnaround.
"I expect they'll all be ready to go for this Test match," he said.
"We'll see how they pull up."

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}People moving house from GB to Northern Ireland now need, in some circumstances, a customs declaration for their possessions.
The change is a result of the new Irish Sea border. A customs declaration is needed if you are using a removal company.
If you are personally moving your possessions, for example in your car, a declaration is not needed.
Northern Ireland is continuing to enforce EU customs rules at its ports.
This is as a result of its specific Brexit deal, known as the .css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link{color:#3F3F42;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{color:#696969;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{font-weight:bolder;border-bottom:1px solid #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-width:2px;color:#B80000;}@supports (text-underline-offset:0.25em){.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{border-bottom:none;-webkit-text-decoration:underline #BABABA;text-decoration:underline #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-decoration-thickness:1px;-webkit-text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-underline-offset:0.25em;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{-webkit-text-decoration-color:currentcolor;text-decoration-color:currentcolor;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#B80000;}}Northern Ireland Protocol.
That means there are new processes for bringing goods into Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK.
The government published guidance on house moves on Friday.
It states that If you are using a removal company or someone else to move your belongings, they need to register for the Goods Vehicle Movement Service (GVMS).
It is the IT system that generates the permission for goods to move across the Irish Sea.
The advice also suggests removal companies should sign up to the Trader Support Service (TSS).
The TSS is a free system that can be used to complete the customs declaration.
There are no new processes for people moving from Northern Ireland to GB.
The most recent official figures, from the NI Statistics and Research Agency, suggest that 11,400 people moved to live in Northern Ireland from elsewhere in the UK in the year to June 2019.

A 25-year-old man will face court accused of assaulting a Sydney shopping centre security guard then stabbing a member of the public, after the woman he was with was asked to wear a mask.
The man was at the shopping centre at northwestern Windsor on Tuesday evening with a woman and two children when the guard asked the woman to put on a mask.
Police have been told he approached the 59-year-old guard shortly after and punched him several times.
A 53-year-old man intervened and the younger man stabbed him in the leg, police say.
The customer and guard restrained the man until police arrived.
The man is in custody and will appear before Penrith Local Court on Wednesday, charged with a number of offences.

Australian coach Justin Langer has launched a passionate defence of under-fire batsman Steve Smith after cameras captured him scuffing the crease as Indian chased victory in the SCG Test.
The former captain's actions were slammed by retired international stars Michael Vaughan and Virenda Sehwag, who assumed his scratching was an effort to remove the guard of an on-song Rishabh Pant.
The incident follows Smith's ban for his role in the Cape Town ball-tampering saga, with critics not missing a chance to pile on ahead of the series-deciding fourth Test in Brisbane from Friday.
Langer is having none of it though, delivering an unprompted defence of the 31-year-old on Wednesday.
"I literally cannot believe some of the rubbish I read about Steve Smith," he said.
"Absolute load of rubbish; if anyone knows Steve Smith, he's a bit quirky and he does some weird things and we've all laughed about it for the last couple of years.
"Anyone who suggests for one millisecond he was trying to do something untoward, they're way out of line, absolutely out of line.
"That wicket was that flat and it was like concrete; you need 15-inch spikes to make an indent on the crease ... seriously.
"That was absolutely ludicrous, and in the last couple of years since he's been back, he's been exemplary on and off the field.
"He's let his bat do the talking, he was abused like I've never seen anything through England and he just kept smiling and letting his bat do the talking ... give me a break."
Describing the scuffing as a subconscious routine, Langer admitted Smith would probably be more aware of his actions now, while teammate Nathan Lyon also came to his defence.
"I'm really disappointed with the way that everyone has jumped on the back of him; he's played close to 80-odd Test matches and I think he's done that in every Test match he's ever played," Lyon said.
"Even though we weren't batting in the rest of that Test, he was still thinking about batting and he does it to help me as well.
"He's looking at where I should pitch the ball, what pace I need to bowl on that wicket, so it's all about conversation."

Bamberg (dpa/lsw) - Mehr als 51 Kilo Marihuana sollen mutmaßliche Drogendealer aus Baden-Württemberg im Internet verkauft haben. Gegen zwei Männer und eine Frau wurde nun Anklage erhoben, wie die Zentralstelle Cybercrime Bayern am Dienstag in Bamberg mitteilte. Ihnen drohen bis zu 15 Jahre Gefängnis. Die Angeklagten wohnen im Zollernalbkreis und im Alb-Donau-Kreis.
Auf die Spur der Verdächtigen kamen die Ermittler im Darknet - einem Bereich des Internets, in dem sich Nutzer fast anonym bewegen können. Unter dem Namen «Lenas Bioladen» sollen sie auf drei Plattformen einen Drogenhandel betrieben haben. Dort «konnten Käufer aus ganz Deutschland sowie dem benachbarten Ausland Cannabisprodukte bestellen, die ihnen dann auf dem Postweg zugestellt wurden», erklärten die Ermittler.
Zwischen September 2017 und März 2020 sollen die Angeklagten 8723 Drogenpäckchen verschickt haben - größtenteils über einen Briefkasten in Neu-Ulm. Die Ermittler gehen davon aus, dass sie mit dem Laden mehr als 740 000 Euro verdienten.
Die beiden Männer im Alter von 32 und 42 Jahren sitzen seit Ende Juli in Untersuchungshaft. Inzwischen haben die Ermittler auch die 34-jährige Ehefrau eines der Verdächtigen im Visier, die vor allem Drogenpäckchen zur Post gebracht haben soll. Dem Trio wird bandenmäßiges Handeln mit Betäubungsmitteln vorgeworfen. Der Prozess soll vermutlich vor dem Landgericht Memmingen stattfinden.

SCG Test antics a 'reminder' for Aussies

Australian captain Tim Paine deserves to be cut some slack, according to coach Justin Langer who remains wary of how quickly efforts to rebuild the team's image can be torn down.
Paine and his side's behaviour was questioned following a dramatic final day in the drawn Sydney Test against India.
The wicketkeeper dropped three catches on day five, while he was fined 15 per cent of his match fee for dissent toward the umpire and also caught on the stump microphone mocking veteran Ravichandran Ashwin during India's incredible stonewall to secure a draw.
Thrust into the captaincy, Paine has helped turn around the Australian Test team's image after the 2018 Cape Town cheating scandal and, after a night of reflection, apologised for his conduct ahead of Friday's fourth Test at the Gabba.
That didn't stop Indian great Sunil Gavaskar, whose name adorns the trophy on the line, from declaring his lack of tactical nous meant his days as Test captain were numbered.
Langer agreed Paine hadn't met his own high standards but that his track record and Tuesday's apology spoke volumes, while he also backed him as "one of the great wicketkeepers we've ever had in Australia".
"Do I have faith in Tim Paine? You have no idea how much faith I've got in Tim Paine," Langer said.
"He didn't have his best day, no doubt about that, but after three years he has hardly put a hair out of place, he's been outstanding as the Australian captain in everything he does, and he had a frustrating day. We've got to cut him some slack surely.
"But having said that when you set a standard as high as he does and as we do, we understand we're going to get criticised when we fall below that."
Langer and Paine have been the face of Australia's repair efforts after the Cape Town Test that saw Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft all banned for their role in the ball-tampering incident.
A popular documentary even charted their path from that point to an Ashes victory in England in 2019, Langer acknowledging though that their efforts could be undone at any moment.
"It's just a good reminder isn't it ... I remember a great mate of mine told me a few years ago if you're going to build a house or a hotel, it takes years to do it, but it takes a couple of hours to rip it all down with a bulldozer," he said.
"So we've got to be on top of our game all the time, but also our players are human.
"That's one of the challenges of leadership, that's one of the challenges of putting yourself out there and talking about culture and how important culture is.
"You can't slip, and if you do slip, you get criticised for it, and that's all OK."

MILWAUKEE (AP) - The Milwaukee Bucks believe their offseason roster overhaul made them a better 3-point shooting team.
Their recent efficiency from beyond the arc bears that out.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 29 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists and the Milwaukee Bucks used torrid shooting to blast the Chicago Bulls 126-96 on Friday.
Milwaukee shot 22 of 45 on 3-point attempts. This came three nights after the Bucks made an NBA-record 29 3-pointers on 51 attempts in a 144-97 rout of the Miami Heat.
"The guys that we have, they're ready," Antetokounmpo said. "They're ready to shoot the ball right now. I told them to stay ready because that ball is coming."
Antetokounmpo was two assists from a second straight triple-double. The reigning two-time MVP had 26 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists Wednesday in a 119-108 loss at Miami.
He only went 1 of 5 from 3-point range Friday but set up many of his teammates for open shots.
"We feel like we´ve added a little more shooting depth, more guys who can make shots," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "I just feel like Giannis is really doing a great job of kind of being a facilitator, a point guard, finding shooters and finding opportunities."
Three of the players the Bucks added were Jrue Holiday, Bryn Forbes and Bobby Portis. That trio went a combined 9 of 14 from 3-point range Friday.
Forbes had 18 points in 22 minutes and was the Bucks' second-leading scorer.
"It took some time to get acclimated," the former San Antonio Spurs guard said. "New system. New players. New coach. I think it took a lot just to kind of find my groove and where I fit in on this team. They've got confidence in me, and playing with guys like Giannis and Khris (Middleton), it makes my job easy."
The Bucks shot just 7 of 38 on 3-point attempts in a 130-110 loss at New York on Sunday, but they´ve gone 67 of 137 in three games since. Their latest 3-point outburst helped the Bucks beat the Bulls for an 11th straight time.
"We really felt like we needed to try to jam the lane up a little bit, try to keep the ball out of the paint, certainly try to take away (Antetokounmpo´s) driving angles to the rim," Bulls coach Billy Donovan said. "Tall order to do. We gave up a lot of 3´s because of that."
Zach LaVine scored 16 points and Denzel Valentine had 14 for the Bulls. Wendell Carter Jr. and Coby White each added 12.
Middleton had 14 for the Bucks. Bobby Portis provided 13 points and 12 rebounds. Donte DiVincenzo, Pat Connaughton and Holiday added 11 points each.
TIP-INS
Bulls: Valentine went to the locker room midway through the fourth quarter after the right elbow of Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo hit the left side of Valentine's face as they were battling for a rebound. ... This trip to Milwaukee concluded a three-game road swing for the Bucks, who had won back-to-back games at Washington on Tuesday and Thursday. They briefly come home to face Dallas on Sunday before playing four straight road games.
Bucks: The Bucks played a third straight game without reserve forward Torrey Craig, who underwent surgery Thursday after fracturing his nose Sunday in a loss to the New York Knicks. Budenholzer said he doesn´t expect Craig to be available during this five-game home stand. "I don´t know that we´ve really set a timeline," Budenholzer said. "I think we´re just kind of seeing how he comes out of the procedure that he´s had. But my guess is it´s longer than that."
SHORT-HANDED BULLS
Chicago played its second straight game without forwards Lauri Markkanen and Chandler Hutchison as well as guards Ryan Arcidiacono and Tomas Satoransky as part of the NBA´s health and safety protocols related to COVID-19. Markkanen is the Bulls´ second-leading scorer (17.3) and top rebounder (6.8).
Donovan said before the game that Hutchison had tested positive and was still in Washington, where the Bulls played their last two games. Markkanen, Arcidiacono and Satoransky were back in Chicago.
KEY STAT
Since the start of the 2018-19 season, the Bucks have gone 28-3 against Central Division opponents. They were 13-1 against the Central last season.
UP NEXT
Bulls: Host Dallas on Sunday night.
Bucks: Host Detroit on Monday night.

US struggles to confront far right threat

The violent assault on the US Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump underscored how unready the United States is to confront its growing right-wing extremist threat, despite years of warnings.
The FBI only acknowledged three years ago, after several mass shootings, that the far right poses a significantly greater terror danger than Islamic jihadists.
Yet law enforcement was unprepared when an array of groups of die-hard Trump supporters, QAnon conspiracists and white supremacists stormed the seat of Congress on January 6, egged on by the president and his political cronies.
After the attack members of Congress called them "terrorists" and "insurrectionists."
But many lawmakers have cultivated the same people as supporters for years, making it hard to treat them as an ongoing threat the way the Islamic State group is, said Ali Soufan, a former FBI agent who is now chief executive of the Soufan Group.
"Unfortunately, we don't have a political will to go after these individuals proactively," Soufan told AFP.
"We wait for them to do something, and then we react."
- Watching 20 million people -
There is no number to put on the size of the far right, because there are many groups over a broad spectrum -- some benign activists, some conspiracy mongers, and some violent neo-nazis.
But they count on significant support from the US population. A Quinnipiac poll released Monday said 10 percent of voters believed the people who stormed the Congress were "defending democracy."
That makes it harder to track threats, compared to monitoring for jihadist sentiment among a relatively small Muslim population.
"What happens if you are looking for revolutionary-right terrorists among 30 percent of the population?" said Matthew Feldman of the Center for Analysis of the Radical Right in Britain.
Even if profilers narrowed that to white men in a certain age range, he said, "You're looking at 20 million people."
That puts the potential extremists in every walk of life -- including, as the Capitol attack showed, among police themselves. And all are potentially dangerous, given the widespread gun ownership in the United States.
A second problem, Feldman said, is that jihadist ideology stands out clearly, while right-wing extremism "is next to the mainstream in American discourse," even openly touted in popular conservative media.
- High attack success rate -
Extremism expert William Braniff says the government still under-allocates resources for monitoring and investigating the domestic extremist threat, compared to what it does for international threats.
And that doesn't make sense because domestic extremist attacks show a 60 percent success rate, said Braniff, director of the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland.
Moreover, law enforcement lacks the legal powers needed to disrupt a domestic plot ahead of time, whereas these powers exist for international threats.
A white supremacist can freely spout his views on social media and recruit others and at the same time stockpile weapons, Braniff said.
"Those are all legally protected behaviors. And there's no tool to disrupt those violent plots, really, until after a law is broken, for example, somebody illegally procured a firearm," he said.
- Domestic terror law -
Braniff says one crucial step is now finally being taken, which is to push extremists off social media. On Monday, for example, Twitter announced it has shut down 70,000 QAnon accounts.
"We have to prevent the mainstreaming of violent extremist ideologies and conspiracies," he said.
"Because if it goes mainstream, in the direction that it's currently headed, it will be really impossible to unwind."
A more controversial move would be to begin formally designating extremist groups, the way global terror groups are branded, or passing a domestic terror law to take them down.
Soufan points out the European countries have named and banned extreme right-wing groups.
And Washington took a step in that direction last April when it designated as a terror threat the Russian Imperial Movement, made up of extremists with sympathizers in the United States.
He says that could be done here with a domestic terror law.
But others warn that it would become a much-abused political tool to attack groups that don't deserve the label.
"You start giving police those powers and you will find that Black Lives Matter protests ... are going to get slapped with domestic terrorism" charges, said Feldman.
Some hope that with Trump's exit from the White House, the problem will go away. But Braniff says that is wishful thinking.
"Many of these ideas are not unique or new to the Trump administration," he said.
"You're never done marginalizing these (extremist) narratives. You can't really let your guard down because they will resurface when allowed."

Davis, James lead Lakers' late rally over Spurs, 109-103

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - The Los Angeles Lakers know they are not always going to feel or play like the defending league champions.
Anthony Davis had 35 points and 11 rebounds and LeBron James added 26 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists as the Lakers rallied to beat the San Antonio Spurs 109-103 on Friday night.
The Lakers closed the game with a 9-0 run for their second win against the Spurs in three days.
"We persisted through our struggles," Los Angeles coach Frank Vogel said. "That´s going to happen from time to time. In a 72-game season, you are going to have some wins that are uglier than others. We knew coming into this season, with the quick turnaround, there was going to be some ugly nights. The key is to find a way to win when you are not at your best."
The Lakers found a way to win by attacking the paint late against the youthful core of the Spurs.
San Antonio forward Keldon Johnson blocked James´ layup attempt, but Kyle Kuzma tipped in the follow to give the Lakers a 105-103 lead with 53.9 seconds remaining. James followed with a layup and Davis closed the scoring with two free throws.
"Their game plan tweaked," Kuzma said. "They added a little bit of a different element for us. We had to adjust down the stretch."
Johnson had a career-high 26 points and added 10 rebounds for his fourth game of 20-plus points in two seasons. Only Hall of Famer Tim Duncan had more 20-point efforts through his first 25 career games with the Spurs, getting six during his rookie season.
"He´s a competitor," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said of Johnson. "He´s a fine young player and he´s going to have a great career. That´s about all I can say. He´s been wonderful."
Johnson was 5 for 9 on 3-pointers, including a 26-footer with 6:30 remaining that put the Spurs up 95-94.
Unlike in Wednesday´s 121-107 loss, the Spurs were able to keep pace with the Lakers early.
"We played a heck of a basketball team, and we were a good basketball team tonight also," Popovich said. "So, I was happy with their play."
The Lakers picked up their pace to start the second half, resulting in a 10-2 advantage in fast-break points and a 64-57 lead a minute into the third quarter. Los Angeles closed the game with a 12-9 advantage on fast-break points.
Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope exited in the second half after mildly spraining his left ankle when he stepped awkwardly driving for a layup. Caldwell-Pope remained down for about a minute before being assisted off the court. He had 11 points before exiting with 8:31 left in the third quarter.
DeMar DeRozan had 23 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for San Antonio, which has lost three straight after opening the season with two victories.
Spurs guard Derrick White had nine points in 23 minutes in his season debut after undergoing toe surgery in the offseason.
TIP-INS
Lakers: The Lakers entered the game shooting 42 percent on 3-pointers, which is second in the league. They were 14 for 33 on Friday. ... Wesley Matthews was scoreless, going 0 for 2 on 3-pointers after going 6 for 6 on 3s and scoring 18 points in Wednesday´s victory over the Spurs. ... James fell to the court after taking an elbow from Drew Eubanks early in the fourth. James continually grabbed his side for a few possessions after but appeared fine afterwards.
Spurs: LaMarcus Aldridge missed his second straight game with an undisclosed illness as well as a sore left knee. ... White made his first attempt of the season, a 26-foot, 3-pointer with 53 seconds left in the first quarter.
UP NEXT
Lakers: Open a second straight two-game miniseries on the road Sunday against Memphis, where they play again Tuesday.
Spurs: Complete a three-game homestand against Utah on Sunday.

Holly Willoughby fans have been demanding the popular TV host’s return to her This Morning duties following her winter break.
Well, we’ve got our wish, and today she makes her grand return to the This Morning set to reunite with co-star Phillip Schofield.
But where exactly has she been and why has she had an extended Christmas break?
Here’s everything you need to know.
Why hasn’t Holly Willoughby been on This Morning?
At the beginning of Monday’s episode, Phillip stated that Holly was taking a ‘couple of days’ extra on her holiday to spend some more time with her family.
Holly is married to TV producer Dan Baldwin, and together they have three children – Belle, Chester and Harry.
On Tuesday, Phillip stirred the pot by claiming that she was ‘obligated to perform on the Masked Singer as Badger’ which is an interesting conspiracy theory!
Rochelle Humes has been stepping into Holly’s shoes in the meantime, joining Phillip as they update viewers on the latest celebrity news and gossip.
Announcing her return on Wednesday morning, Holly posted a photo of her in today’s hosting outfit – a dress by LK Bennett, and she sent a positive message as the UK faces the new lockdown.
‘Morning! HNY! … Hope your ok and if not …that’s ok too… let’s get through it day by day,’ she wrote.
‘We’ve been here before, we can do it again… missed you and looking forward to keeping you company again… see you on @thismorning at 10am.’
When does Holly Willoughby host This Morning?
Typically, Holly and Phillip host every Monday to Thursday, with Fridays episodes being hosted by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.
Starting from this Friday, Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary will take over Friday duties.
Holly last appeared on the show on Christmas Day in a pre-recorded episode, and then before that performing in the annual This Morning pantomime.
During the special episode, Holly was transformed into Cinderella, with Phillip as her Dandini and Alison as her Fairy Godmother.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.

The ex-cop behind China's largest gay dating app

Browsing the internet as a young policeman in China, Ma Baoli recalls the sheer volume of web pages telling him he was a pervert, diseased and in need of treatment -- simply because he was gay.
"I felt extremely lonely after I became aware of my sexual orientation," says Ma, at the time a newly minted officer in a small coastal city.
Two decades later, the softly spoken 43-year-old now helms Blued, one of the world's largest dating platforms for gay men.
The app went public last July with an $85 million debut on Nasdaq, a remarkable tech success story from a country that classified homosexuality as a mental illness as recently as 2001.
Parent company BlueCity's sunlit Beijing campus teems with young and casually dressed programmers who hold meetings in rooms named after Oscar Wilde and other prominent LGBTQ figures from around the world.
The office boasts rainbow unicorn mascots, gender-neutral toilets and photos of Ma's meetings with dignitaries, including Chinese premier Li Keqiang.
- 'Everyone was scared' -
Ma's journey to the apex of China's tech industry began in the early 2000s when he began publishing Danlan.org, a blog about his life as a gay man.
There were few places in China at the time for gay men to socialise, Ma says, adding that "people would write on the walls of public toilets, saying meet here at this and that time."
"Everyone was scared of being found out by others."
Ma's blog gradually expanded into an influential online forum for LGBTQ people in China to share lifestyle articles, health advice and short stories.
"I thought I could build a website, to tell gay people like me... you don't need to feel inferior, you don't need to be suicidal," he told AFP.
Increasing local media coverage of the website outed Ma to his coworkers and prompted him to leave the police force in 2012.
He launched Blued the same year.
The app today says it has more than 58 million users in China and countries including India, Korea and Thailand.
It has yet to turn a profit but company figures show losses have narrowed since the platform began paid memberships, livestreams and ads in 2016.
Like other dating apps, many Blued users are seeking hookups and casual dates.
But Ma also keeps a stack of letters on his desk from users who have written to thank him for helping connect them to their long-term partners.
- Working for tolerance -
Discussion of LGBT issues remains contentious in China, with activists complaining of tightened restrictions on public discussion in recent years.
But despite Danlan.org being repeatedly shut down in the first few years of its existence, Blued has largely avoided conflict with authorities.
It has opted for a cautious approach in raising mainstream awareness and tolerance of the LGBTQ community.
That includes its efforts to tackle the stigma around HIV that has fuelled discrimination against gay men and prevented people from seeking medical care.
BlueCity runs an online platform that sells HIV diagnostic kits and brokers consultations with doctors. It also works with local authorities to direct users to free testing centres.
Ma said he was pleasantly surprised by the response he received after sounding out health officials to cooperate on HIV prevention campaigns.
"They said they had really wanted to reach the gay community," Ma told AFP, "but they didn't have the channels and didn't know how to find them."
- 'Brighter and healthier' -
Still, the platform has suffered its share of teething problems.
It temporarily froze new user registrations in 2019 after local media reported that underaged boys had been using the app, and the company pledged to tighten age and content controls.
Ma says his team are committed to "building a brighter and healthier image of the community".
He believes his work has helped improve the mainstream perception of LGBTQ people in China, including friends and family who previously shunned him.
And he thinks more positive recognition is on the horizon.
"I think there will eventually be a day when gay marriage is legal in China," he says. "It's only a matter of time."

Beal leads Wizards, minus Westbrook, past Wolves for 1st win

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Bradley Beal had 31 points and seven assists, and the Washington Wizards beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 130-109 on Friday night without Russell Westbrook for their first win of the season.
Westbrook sat out for rest on the second game of a back-to-back, but the Wizards (1-5) looked like a much better team than the one that lost the night before to Chicago at home. Washington jumped to an early lead and answered every Minnesota challenge.
"The energy's totally different; it's just positive," Beal said of earning the team's first victory. "It's uplifting. It's like a weight off your shoulders in a way, but it's even better to know we played the right way and played the way we know we're capable of playing."
With Beal leading the way, the Wizards finished the third quarter on a 29-7 surge and scored 40 points in the period for a 100-79 lead. Beal had 14 in the quarter.
Malik Beasley scored 21 to lead the Timberwolves (2-3), who have lost three in a row with star center Karl-Anthony Towns missing all three games because of a dislocated left wrist. D´Angelo Russell had 14 points for Minnesota.
"Our energy was low," Wolves coach Ryan Saunders said about the third quarter. "They were desperate tonight and we should have been that team, too, after our LA trip. We were not and it was evident in that third quarter."
Thomas Bryant added 18 points and seven rebounds for Washington, which had eight players score in double figures and shot a season-high 55.1% from the field.
Westbrook missed his second game of the season, but Beal has grown accustomed to playing without a star backcourt mate. John Wall missed last season and played only 73 games over the past three seasons while Beal developed as one of the NBA's top scorers.
Beal scored 14 points in the first quarter as the Wizards led by as many as 12 and went without a turnover. He didn´t play in the fourth.
"We can have seven, eight straight losses and we still believe in ourselves," rookie Deni Avdija said. "Mark my words - we´re gonna be good."
Russell, the Wolves´ sidekick for Towns, couldn´t pick up the slack without him. He shot 6 of 16 from the field and had five turnovers.
Without their main man in the middle, Minnesota allowed more than 120 points for the third straight game.
"We don't feel like you have to add to your load just because a guy like Karl is out," Saunders said. "It's on all of us. We need more offensively, more defensively. That's not just from an individual player, that's from a collective group. With that, individually, we need more from guys to get out of this rut."
TIP-INS
Wizards: Raul Neto made his second start this season in place of Westbrook and had 12 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. ... Beal has scored at least 20 points in 29 straight games, the longest current streak in the NBA. Kawhi Leonard started the day second on the list with 14 in a row. Beal is the first player in team history to score at least 25 points in the first six games of a season. ... Davis Bertans was 3 of 7 from 3-point territory a day after going 0 of 8.
Timberwolves: Minnesota was also without forward Josh Okogie, who missed his second straight game with a left hamstring strain. ... No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Edwards had 17 points. Naz Reid scored 17 starting in place of Towns.
LEARNING ON THE FLY
Avidja, the No. 9 overall draft pick, had a season-high 11 points and added seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. His best game of the season earned accolades from coach Scott Brooks.
"I thought Deni took another step in a young career," Brooks said. "I thought he was able to make a few plays that we can maybe utilize him more in the future."
UP NEXT
Wizards: Continue their road trip Sunday at Brooklyn, which has lost three of four.
Timberwolves: Start a series of two games against the Nuggets, beginning Sunday at home before playing in Denver on Tuesday.

Yoweri Museveni has been president longer than most Ugandans have been alive, but the ageing leader shows no sign of retiring as he seeks yet again to extend his rule.
Shortly after Museveni took power in 1986, ending years of bloodshed and chaos under murderous tyrants, the young president mused that leaders overstaying their welcome lay at the heart of Africa's problems.
But nearly four decades later the introspection is gone and Museveni -- once hailed in the West as a model African leader committed to good governance -- ranks among the world's longest-serving and, increasingly, authoritarian rulers.
His genial face and penchant for folksy parables belie a past as a wily guerrilla fighter and ruthless political survivor.
In his 35-year reign Museveni has fused state and party so effectively, and crushed political opposition so totally, that any serious challenge to either him or his National Resistance Movement is impossible.
Many see his return to office for a sixth straight term after January 14 elections as a foregone conclusion.
Three-quarters of Ugandans are under 30, so most of the country has never known anyone else in charge.
At 76 -- though some opponents say he is older -- Museveni says he is fighting fit, occasionally performing push ups before crowds and jogging in his office.
In 2020, he joined Instagram and added a childhood name, Tibuhaburwa, to his official title.
Unbound by Uganda's constitution -- it was amended twice to remove presidential term and age limits -- many believe Museveni, who never speaks publicly of succession and has broken past promises to stand down, plans to rule for the rest of his days.
- Staying put -
"He will not leave until he has completed his mission of liberating Uganda and Africa... It's an illusionary and delusional mindset, of course. But he looks at himself as some sort of messiah," said Moses Khisa, assistant professor of political science at North Carolina State University.
In long, meandering speeches often laced with peasant folklore -- he was raised by cattle herders in western Uganda -- Museveni has appealed for more time, likening himself to a farmer leaving a plantation just as it starts bearing fruit.
Rarely too does "the old man who saved the country" miss a chance to hark back to his heroics in the bush wars -- sometimes exchanging his trademark safari hat and yellow shirt for camouflage fatigues to drive home the point.
It is a favourite reference for the proud military man -- but one of dwindling currency, given most Ugandans are not old enough to remember the relative peace and stability that followed the horrors of Idi Amin and Milton Obote.
British journalist William Pike, who interviewed Museveni in 1984, described a man then well-admired with a "faraway look in his eyes as he spoke, the look of a dreamer, a revolutionary".
Museveni studied in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in the 1960s when the university acted as a kind of revolutionary finishing school for anti-colonialists.
"He was intensely serious but showed flashes of humour. He encouraged debate although his officers were deferential," wrote Pike in his 2019 book "Combatants: A memoir of the Bush War and the press in Uganda."
"Museveni's confidence infected everyone."
This extended to the international community, which saw promise in Museveni's early strides on economic growth, poverty alleviation and combating HIV/AIDS.
- Drift to dictatorship -
A cunning strategist, Museveni also positioned himself as something of an elder statesman and peacemaker in a volatile region -- even as his forces were marauding in eastern Congo and backing rebels in other war-torn corners.
His deployment of troops to fight jihadists in Somalia, and open door policy to refugees, won favour from foreign donors who critics say turned a blind eye to his abuses at home and warmongering abroad.
"Museveni has always been brutal, but he's always had to play this game with the West, so that he continues to get support," Helen Epstein, author of "Another Fine Mess: America, Uganda, and the War on Terror", told AFP.
But as the years ticked by the contemplative young rebel leader gave way to an ever-more erratic and uncompromising head of state.
"There were times when Museveni was a persuasive person. He would win over you ideologically, and through discourse. He no longer does a whole lot of that. He increasingly has to rely on money and force," Khisa said.
Museveni had promised to retire to his cherished herd of long-horned Ankole cattle, but instead has outlasted every ruler on the continent bar Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea and Paul Biya of Cameroon.

Amid Nile dam tensions, Egypt recalls Aswan 50 years on

Half a century since Egypt's ground-breaking Aswan dam was inaugurated with much fanfare, harnessing the Nile for hydropower and irrigation, the giant barrier is still criticised for its human and environmental toll.
It is also a stark reminder -- amid high tensions today as Addis Ababa fills its colossal Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) upstream -- of just how volatile politics over the life-giving, but finite, Nile water resources can be.
The Aswan High Dam was spearheaded in the early 1950s by charismatic pan-Arabist president Gamal Abdel Nasser.
Egypt, where the river provides some 97 percent of water for more than 100 million people, is the final section of the Nile's 6,650-kilometre (4,130-mile), 10-nation journey to the Mediterranean.
For millennia, the North African country was at the mercy of the seasonal rise and fall of the river, dependent on the rainfall in nations far upstream.
But the 111-metre-high and 3.6-kilometre-wide Aswan High Dam, dwarfing the far smaller Aswan Low Dam built under British rule in 1902, crucially gave Cairo power to regulate the flow.
- Water power -
It was a "very important hydro-political act", said geographer and author Habib Ayeb, a Nile expert who has taught at universities in Cairo and Paris.
The dam was inaugurated on January 15, 1971, three months after Nasser's death, by his successor Anwar al-Sadat.
For the first time, "an Egyptian president decided to manage the Nile within Egypt", to develop agriculture and the economy in the country, Ayeb added.
For Egypt, an otherwise desert nation where 97 percent of the population lives along the green and fertile Nile banks, the dam revolutionised its relationship with the land.
"The dam offered a reprieve to Egyptians by giving them enough water... and protecting them from the hazards of floods, which could be absolutely catastrophic," said Ayeb.
It also brought electricity to much of the country, a move Nasser said was key to developing the nation.
Abdel Hakim Hassanein, who overlooks the river from his home close to the dam, some 700 kilometres south of Cairo, praised its construction.
"We didn't have electricity before, we used oil lamps," the 68-year-old said, adding that work at the dem remains a key source of local jobs.
Ethiopia, the second most populous nation in Africa, today uses similar arguments, saying its 145-metre (475-foot) GERD Blue Nile barrier -- set to be Africa's largest hydro-electric dam -- is vital to provide power for its 110 million people.
But Egypt, with the Arab world's largest population, sees the GERD as an existential threat.
- 'Belly of the desert' -
In the 1960s, many Egyptians also saw the Aswan dam as a threat to their lives -- in a different way.
The lake behind the dam flooded the homeland of Egypt's Nubian people, forcing tens of thousands to leave.
"For the Nubians, the High Dam is a symbol of oppression," said rights activist Fawzi Gayer. "It wiped out a civilisation."
Gayer was born just after his family was relocated to a dusty town its Nubian residents call Abu Simbel "Displacement".
"We're talking about a community with a Nilotic identity that breathes the Nile... and we have been thrown into the belly of the desert," said Gayer.
"The elderly died of shock."
The Nubians' long-running demand for a "right of return" was included in the 2014 constitution, but their lands have been swallowed by the 355-kilometre-long Lake Nasser, which stretches south into Sudan.
It was not only people who had to move; the waters threatened to drown the three-millenium-old Pharaonic temples at Abu Simbel, kickstarting a massive UNESCO-led rescue mission that took eight years.
The ancient complex, including giant stone carved statues, was dismantled and moved to a new location, in one of the world's biggest archaeological rescue operations.
There were environmental consequences too.
The creation of the giant lake also upset the river's delicate ecosystem, holding back the fertile silt deposits, causing erosion and increasing use of chemical fertilisers.
- 'Political bomb' -
For Ayeb, the dam also "proved to be a political bomb".
In building Aswan, Egypt and Sudan agreed a Nile water sharing deal, but did not include any other upstream nations, including Ethiopia.
"It created the foundations for the break-up of the Nile basin as a framework for a common good," said Ayeb.
Today, Addis Ababa, Cairo and Khartoum are mired in long-running fractious talks over the filling and operation of the GERD dam.
But, according to Ayeb, the critical challenge for Egypt is the management of the water it gets at present.
"Even if Ethiopia stopped its dam, there wouldn't be enough water," he said, arguing Egypt should halt desert irrigation -- where nearly half the water is lost by evaporation -- and stop agricultural exports.
Ayeb believes Cairo needs a new water and agricultural policy entirely.
"Egypt must change everything," he said.

Schwäbisch Gmünd/Ellwangen (dpa/lsw) - Nach dem Tod eines Kindergartenkindes in der Rems in Schwäbisch Gmünd sind die Ermittlungen gegen drei Erzieherinnen eingestellt worden. Es habe kein strafbares Verhalten festgestellt werden können, sagte ein Sprecher der Staatsanwaltschaft Ellwangen am Dienstag. Für die drei Erzieherinnen sei der Tod des Dreijährigen nicht vorhersehbar und nicht vermeidbar gewesen, lautet demnach das Urteil der Ermittler.
Der kleine Bub hatte sich im Januar 2020 von seiner Kindergartengruppe auf einem Spielplatz entfernt und war unbemerkt in Richtung des Ufers der Rems gelaufen. Seinen leblosen Körper fanden die Betreuerinnen kurze Zeit später im Wasser. Der Dreijährige starb im Krankenhaus. Laut einer Obduktion erlitt das Kind einen Kälteschock und einen Herzstillstand. Ermittlungen sollten unter anderem klären, inwiefern die Betreuerinnen für den Tod des Jungen verantwortlich sind. Der Südwestrundfunk hatte zuerst darüber berichtet.

Aswan High Dam: Nasser's dream, Nubian nightmare

It was the dream of Egypt's pan-Arab nationalist president Gamal Abdel Nasser, but the inauguration of the Aswan High Dam 50 years ago came at a big cost.
Opened on the mighty Nile on January 15, 1971 with the help of the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, the dam was to generate electricity for the whole region, increase agricultural land and reduce flooding.
However, its construction led to the expulsion of tens of thousands of indigenous Nubians for the creation of a huge artificial lake, that also threatened hundreds of ancient monuments.
Pharaonic and Greco-Roman temples, including those of Rameses II at Abu Simbel, risked being submerged.
Opponents also complained that the project reduced both the amount of Nile silt that fertilised the land when the river flooded and the size of the fertile Nile Delta, the country's breadbasket.
- Nasser's dream -
Since seizing power in 1954 after ousting General Mohamed Naguib, Nasser had dreamt of a mega-project to make a dam on the Nile, which would allow him to increase Egypt's cultivable land by a third.
The British had already built a dam at Aswan during the colonial era in 1902, but the country's rocketing population had outgrown it.
But in 1956, the United States and Britain withdrew a pledge to fund the construction of the Aswan High Dam after Egypt moved closer to the Soviet bloc.
In retaliation, Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal, sparking a crisis in which Britain, France and Israel united to attack Egypt, before being forced to pull out in humiliation after 10 days of fighting under pressure from Washington.
But Moscow stepped in to finance the dam.
On January 9, 1960, Nasser launched the building work, setting off a 10-ton dynamite explosion.
Four years later, Nasser and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev together officiated over the flooding of the dam, with Nasser pointing to "a lasting symbol of friendship" with the USSR.
- Nubian exodus -
But the project necessitated one of the world's biggest archaeological rescue operations ever, with a massive ancient Egyptian temple complex dismantled and hoisted to higher ground to prevent it being swamped by the rising waters.
The original site is today completely submerged by Lake Nasser, and the Nubian population was forced to flee its "Garden of Eden" along the fertile Nile for the arid south or the cities.
The two Abu Simbel temples -- named after their village location -- were carved out of cliffs overlooking the Nile from 1298 BC to 1235 BC.
The groundbreaking UNESCO-led project to relocate around 20 gigantic monuments ended in the autumn of 1968, after an eight-year international effort involving hundreds of workers.
- Half Egypt's power -
On January 15, 1971, three months after Nasser's death, his successor Anwar al-Sadat inaugurated the High Dam at a ceremony, which took place under an enormous triumphal arch.
Portraits of Nasser hung on each side of the dam, which also houses a giant hydro-electric plant with 12 turbines.
The dam can hold more than 160 billion cubic metres (5,650 billion cubic feet) of water per year in Lake Nasser.
Its turbines produce 10 billion kilowatts of electricity, to this day around half of the country's power supply.
For 11 years, 36,000 Egyptian workers and more than 2,000 Soviet experts toiled on the dam. The USSR paid 40 percent of the building cost, while the remainder was paid with Egyptian cotton.

VP Pence rejects invoking 25th Amendment to oust Trump

US Vice President Mike Pence told House leaders Tuesday he does not support invoking the 25th Amendment process to remove Donald Trump, all but guaranteeing an impeachment vote against the besieged president.
"With just eight days left in the President's term, you and the Democratic Caucus are demanding that the Cabinet and I invoke the 25th Amendment," Pence wrote to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, referring to the process that would declare Trump unable to fulfill his duties and install Pence as acting president for the remainder of the term.
"I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our nation or consistent with our Constitution," he said.
Democrats mobilized rapidly to begin the process to have Trump removed after he encouraged his supporters last Wednesday to "march" to the US Capitol and "fight."
In a violent insurrection, the rioters stormed past outnumbered police, rampaged through and ransacked the building, and interrupted Congress as it was certifying Joe Biden's election victory.
Pence, who was presiding over the vote, as well as Pelosi and other lawmakers, were forced to take shelter. Five people died during the unrest including a US Capitol Police officer.
The vice president's letter came just hours before the House of Representatives was to vote on a resolution that calls on Pence to initiate the 25th Amendment process and "declare what is obvious to a horrified nation: that the President is unable to successfully discharge the duties and powers of his office."
Pelosi has said Pence's failure to trigger that process would lead to a Trump impeachment vote on Wednesday. She has described Trump as being "unhinged."
But Pence told Pelosi that her call for invoking the 25th Amendment was misplaced, saying it was designed to "address presidential incapacity or disability," not as a "means of punishment or usurpation."
He also pointed out that despite intense pressure from within his party to invalidate the electoral votes from swing states won by Biden, he fulfilled his consitutional duty to certify the results.
"I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our nation," he wrote.
Earlier in the day Trump said the 25th Amendment was of "zero risk" to him.

Malatya Emniyet Müdürü Ercan Dağdeviren’in göreve gelmesi ile başlattığı uyuşturucu ve suçlarla mücadelede önemli başarılara imza atıldı. Narkotik başta olmak üzere tüm birimlerin koordineli çalışması ile kentte suç oranında ciddi düşüş yaşanırken, uyuşturucu ile mücadelede de bir önceki yıla göre önemli başarı sağlandı. 2019’un Eylül ayında Malatya Emniyet Müdürlüğü görevine atanan Ercan Dağdeviren, göreve başlar başlamaz kentte suç oranlarının azaltılması adına harekete geçti. Dağdeviren’in talimatı ile asayiş suçları ile mücadele de özel ekipler oluşturulurken, uyuşturucu ile mücadelede ise narkotik ekiplerinin sayısı iki katına çıkarıldı. Tüm birimlerin birbirleri ile koordineli çalışıldığı emniyette, alınan denetim ve tedbirler de meyvesini vermeye başladı. 2020 yılı istatistik raporlarına da yansıyan bu başarıda, birçok suç oranlarında ciddi düşüş yaşanırken, özellikle uyuşturucu ile mücadelede önemli bir başarı grafiği sergilendi. 2020 yılını değerlendiren Malatya Emniyet Müdürü Ercan Dağdeviren, geçen yılın aynı dönemi incelendiğinde bu yıl başarılı operasyonlar ve önleyici çalışmalar ile olay sayıları ve aydınlatma oranlarında büyük bir ivme kazanıldığının görüldüğünü söyledi. Malatya Emniyeti olarak elde edilen bu başarıyı, doktorların bir hastalığı teşhis etmesine benzeten Dağdeviren, “Nasıl ki doktorlar bir hastalığı tedavi etmeden önce tahlil yapıyor ise biz de ilimizde yaşanan bazı problemleri önce tahlil ettik. Suç ve olayların en çok yaşandığı bölge ve noktaları belirleyerek buna göre tedbirler aldık, özel ekipler oluşturduk ve birimler arası koordinasyonu sağladık” dedi. Uyuşturucu ile mücadelede önemli adımlar attıklarına dikkat çeken Dağdeviren, Narkotik Suçlarla Mücadele Şube Müdürlüğünün araç sayısını çoğalttıklarını, aynı zamanda personel sayısını da yüzde 50 oranında arttırdıklarını ifade etti. Suçla mücadelede özel ekipleri oluşturulduğunu ve bu sayede olayların analiz ve sonucuna gidilmesini hızlandırdıklarını kaydeden Emniyet Müdürü Dağdeviren, “Güvenlik hizmetleri süreklilik ve devamlılık arz ediyor. İnsanların olduğu her yerde olaylar muhakkak olacaktır. Ancak biz bu olayları ve suçları makul olduğunca olmadan engellemeye çalışıyoruz. Suç ve suçluyu sıfırlamak mümkün olmayabilir ama istatistiklere bakıldığında Malatya’da bir güven ve huzur geldiğini söyleyebiliriz. Bunun da devamı için elimizden gelen tüm gayreti ekiplerimiz ile göstereceğiz” diye konuştu. Malatya’da huzur ve güveni sağlamakta halkın da kendilerine destek olduğunu ifade eden Dağdeviren, kurdukları ihbar hatları ve sosyal medya hesapları ile de vatandaşın ihbarları ile polisin her zaman yanında olduğunu dile getirdi. Emniyet Müdürlüğü bünyesindeki Toplum Destekli Polis ekiplerinin de toplumun her kesimi ile sürekli irtibat halinde olduğunu da belirten Dağdeviren, “Emniyetimiz vatandaşın canı ve malını korumak için 24 saat görev başındadır” dedi. 2020 yılının ilk 11 ayı istatistiklerine bakıldığında özellikle uyuşturucu ile mücadelede gösterilen çalışmaların grafiklere yansıdığı görülüyor. Uyuşturucu ile mücadelenin bu yıl 34 katına çıktığının en bariz göstergesi ise 2019 yılında 393 olan olay sayısın bu yıl bin 454’e çıkması. Narkotik suçlarla mücadelenin arttığı bu yılda 2 bin 209 şüpheli yakalanırken bunların 305’i tutuklandı. Bu başarı narkotik operasyonlarında ele geçirilen uyuşturucu maddeye de yansıdı. 2019 yılında 12 kilogram 556 gram esrar ele geçirilirken bu yılki operasyonlarda ise 161 kilogram 408 gram esrar ele geçirildi. Geçen yıl 98 kilogram eroin, bu yıl ise 226 kilogram eroin ele geçirildi. Kaçakçılık ve Organize Suçlarla Şube Müdürlüğünün 2020 yılı faaliyetlerine bakıldığında da bir önceki yıla nazaran artan başarı göze çarpıyor. Aynı şekilde Asayiş Şube Müdürlüğünün 1 yıllık faaliyet raporunda da yeni kurulan özel ekiplerin suçların azaltılmasında ciddi bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülüyor. Bir önceki yıl 115 adet silah ele geçirilirken, 2020 yılında ise 299 adet silahın ele geçirildiği belirtildi. Aynı şekilde asayiş ekiplerince 2019 yılında 321 gram narkotik madde ele geçirilirken, bu rakam 2020 yılında 3 kilogram 608 grama çıktı. 2019 yılında ele geçirilen uyuşturucu hap sayısı 2 bin 495 iken, 2020’de bu rakam 10 bin 446 adete yükseldi. Asayiş ekiplerinin özellikle narkotik madde yakalamada yüzde bin 21’lik bir artış yakalaması, ekipler arası koordinasyon ve uyumlu çalışmanın sonucu olarak gösteriliyor. 2020 yılı istatistiklerine bakıldığında mal varlığına karşı işlenen 9 önemli suç grubunda aydınlatma oranı yüzde 86,3 olarak kayda geçerken, kasten öldürme ve kapkaç olaylarında ise faali meçhul olay bulunmuyor. Ekiplerin olayları aydınlatmada yakaladığı yüzde yüz başarı ise bu konuda Malatya’yı Türkiye birincisi yaptı. Suçla mücadelenin yanı sıra trafik kazalarının engellenmesi adına gerçekleştirilen eğitim ve seminerlerde de 2020 yılında önemli bir artış sağlandı. 2019’da toplamda 55 bin kişiye eğitim verilirken, 2020 yılında ise bu sayı 86 bin 36 kişiye yükseldi. Bu eğitim faaliyetlerinin sonucunda ise 2020 yılında yaşanan yaralamalı kazalarda bir önceki yıla göre yüzde 6’lık bir azalma sağlandığı görüldü.

A homeless man has spent the pandemic living in a wooden cabin he built himself by the side of a major road.

A homeless man has spent the pandemic living in a wooden cabin he built himself by the side of a major road.
Chris Inker began constructing his temporary home on a small patch of land alongside the A4042 in Newport, south Wales, last summer.
The 45-year-old first collected unwanted pallet wood and other materials to line the floor of the small camp.
Five months later, Chris has two cabins each with its own bedroom, two generators, a sitting area with a fire pit, and a shed to store wood.
‘I was just in a little camp with a tent and that was it,’ Chris said. ‘I started picking pallets up. I put pallets on the floor and then I just worked myself around that to what I have now.
‘I go and pick them up. If I see one I’ll just pick it up and bring it back.’
When the nation was put into lockdown in March, the Welsh Government provided councils with £10 million in emergency funding to bring all rough sleepers indoors.
Then in August, ministers announced a further £40 million to ‘end homelessness’ in Wales and ensure all those people are rehoused permanently.
Councils have been working with partners to house rough sleepers, and many have already been provided with permanent homes, but some are still falling through the cracks.
Chris said he became homeless after leaving prison early in 2020. For a brief period during lockdown he was given temporary accommodation in a guest house in Newport.
But he decided to leave so he could distance himself from hard drug-users.
‘I came out of prison about a year ago,’ he said. ‘I moved into a tent up by there, but one of the boys burnt it down so I made my own here.
‘It took me about five months to do that. They put me into a hostel, but people were taking drugs and all that.
‘I just didn’t want to know. That’s why I won’t go in any of these places. I don’t want to be around that.’
Chris said he didn’t have any experience of woodworking when he began building the cabin but his skills have built up over the last few months.
When it gets too cold, Chris would sofa-surf to stay warm, but he now has a generator for the winter months ahead.
He said: ‘I don’t get bothered. I have the fire service up here. They come and check on us. Drop food off. Water if we need it.
‘The police have stopped once or twice to see if we are ok. We get that a lot. But we haven’t had any problems there.’
Chris said he is continuing to search for properties on the council housing list, and hopes to find a place in 2021.
‘I’m happy for now until I get a place and I’ll go from there then,’ he added.

Drag Race UK Series 2 judge Michelle Visage has addressed claims she is Dragon on ITV's current series on The Masked Singer – admitting she loves both the UK and the US version of the show
Drag Race UK star Michelle Visage has opened up about claims she is one of the mystery celebs taking part in the current series of The Masked Singer UK.
For the past two weeks, fans of ITV's kooky talent contest have been trying to guess the identity of Dragon – with many thinking they have it sussed.
During an appearance on Thursday's edition of Lorraine, Michelle appeared on the show to talk about Series 2 of Drag Race but the Scottish host couldn't resist the opportunity to try and get to the bottom of the riddle.
After Lorraine asked her outright if she is Dragon, Michelle replied: "I mean, should I say yes or no?
"I think you have to watch and find out.
"I love the show. I love it in America as well – I love people guessing so keep guessing. It is bonkers."
During last weekend's edition of Masked Singer, social media was awash with speculation it is indeed Michelle behind the mask.
Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "I just can't shake Michelle Visage from my head for Dragon.
"I'm not even taking the clues onboard i want it to be Michelle so badly! #TheMaskedSingerUK."
Another added: "Anybody else think the fabulous Michelle Visage is Dragon on #TheMaskedSingerUK?"
"I think Dragon may be Courtney Act or Michelle Visage #MaskedSingerUK," a third probed.
Meanwhile, a fourth simply believed that they had cracked it writing: "Michelle Visage has to be Dragon #MaskedSingerUK."
So far Love Actually star Martine McCutcheon has been unmasked as Swan while Spice Girl Mel B was revealed to be Seahorse.
Scary Spice, 45, had tried hard to hide her iconic northern accent by faking an American twang but proved no match for the judges with three of them managing to correctly identify her before her mask came off.

Women cultivate a new voice in Indian farm protests
|

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-9141073/Women-cultivate-new-voice-Indian-farm-protests.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

India's rural landscape is notoriously male-dominated, but thousands of women have become a pillar of the farmer protests blocking roads into New Delhi that have become a huge challenge to the government.
Women of all occupations and ages -- from those who tend cattle or toil in the fields, to city professionals and grandmothers in wheelchairs -- are braving the freezing winter temperatures in a bid to make the government withdraw market reforms.
"I am fighting for my children and my grandchildren," said Parminder Kaur, 40, who chants slogans at rallies during the day, then in the evening helps make chapati flatbread and curry to feed the tens of thousands of protesters.
Women have traditionally been the silent backbone of Indian agriculture -- working the land without the influence that goes with it. Repeat studies have shown how they suffer from poverty, discrimination and domestic violence.
About 85 percent of women in rural areas have some kind of agricultural activity, yet only 13 percent own land, according to anti-poverty activist group Oxfam.
But Kaur was visibly proud at the way women were "walking shoulder-to-shoulder" with men to defend rural welfare.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been forced onto the back foot over three laws which allow farmers to sell their produce on the free market, after decades of channelling their wheat and rice through state-run markets with a guaranteed minimum price.
Modi insists the reforms will attract badly needed investment to a sector which employs about two-thirds of India's 1.3 billion population, but only contributes about 15 percent to its economy.
However, farmer leaders say the changes will lead to a takeover of the agriculture business by Indian conglomerates.
Kaur's family has two acres (about 8,000 square metres) of land where they grow wheat.
"This land is everything for us, it is like our mother," she said.
"They want to snatch our mother away from us, how can we allow this?"
- 'Tension and violence' fears -
Ranjana Kumari, who heads the Centre for Social Research, a Delhi-based non-profit group, said that while women do not own the land, they fear a cut in revenue will badly hit their households.
"When the family income falls, it affects women's health and wellbeing the most. Less income also means more tension and violence at the hands of men.
"That is why they are angry and vocal about these laws."
The women's active participation in the protests has been appreciated by the leaders.
Rana Bhatti, who is from a farming family in Haryana state, said the protests were a way for women to show their strength.
"I feel the time has come for us to take to the frontlines and steer the challenge against this arrogant government," said Bhatti as she led a group of women holding flags and placards. One read: "No farmers, no food, no future."
Kumari said that women are more politically aware than ever before, a trend that Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party has seized upon and credited with helping it to two landslide election wins.
"Looking at the way the women are joining these protests, it makes a statement about their aspirations and the need to be heard. They are saying we won't take things lying down."
The farmers' cause has drawn an urban contingent of female supporters too.
Dressed casually in jeans and a shawl, Jassi Sangha, 33, is an artist and filmmaker who has been at the protest since it started.
She helps bring out a bi-weekly newspaper for the farmers and organises education for children in the camp.
Sangha said she was drawn by the protest as soon as she heard about it: "I left my work and came, we have to fight or we are done."
The farmers' rudimentary camps have been blocking key highways since November 26, and the government has appealed to the protesters to send women, children and the elderly back home, as India endures one of the coldest winters in three decades.
But Kaur, who has two children, said she is staying "for the long haul".
"At least we can proudly tell future generations that we raised our voice."

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}There is a "light at the end of the tunnel" with a third vaccination against Covid-19 but people need to keep safe in the meantime.
That's the message from the body representing health boards in Wales.
There are more than 2,700 patients in hospital with Covid, according to latest NHS Wales figures.
"It's incredibly serious at the moment, I can't emphasise that enough," said Welsh NHS confederation director Darren Hughes.
There were more than 1,700 confirmed and suspected Covid-19 patients in Welsh hospitals at the most recent count, on Thursday.
There were also another 1,000 patients in hospital beds recovering from the virus. Both are at record levels.
The number of Covid patients in critical care is also at its highest point since the first wave peak in April.
On Friday, Public Health Wales reported a further 56 deaths with Covid in Wales, taking the total number since the start of the pandemic to 3,857.
"In intensive care we're running at about 165% of normal capacity, we've got, you know, getting on for 3,000 people now in hospital with Covid or recovering from Covid," Mr Hughes told .css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link{color:#3F3F42;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{color:#696969;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{font-weight:bolder;border-bottom:1px solid #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-width:2px;color:#B80000;}@supports (text-underline-offset:0.25em){.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{border-bottom:none;-webkit-text-decoration:underline #BABABA;text-decoration:underline #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-decoration-thickness:1px;-webkit-text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-underline-offset:0.25em;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{-webkit-text-decoration-color:currentcolor;text-decoration-color:currentcolor;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#B80000;}}BBC Radio Wales Breakfast.
One consultant at the Royal Glamorgan hospital near Llantrisant told BBC Wales of the pressures and that "we're definitely having more younger people with Covid that are becoming sick, the volume is very high in the community".
Mr Hughes described the vaccination rollout programme as a "huge undertaking" for staff already under pressure due to the health service's workload.
"If you look at the headline figures, Wales is slightly behind other parts of the UK, but I think it's important to remember that the vaccine has been delivered by healthcare staff," he said.
"What we are doing is vaccinating everybody and delivering the vaccines that have been delivered to Wales."
Mr Hughes said: "Things are being ramped up from what I understand from the sort of 25,000 vaccinations being delivered to Wales, to go to much higher numbers in the coming weeks.
"We are ready to vaccinate at a much higher rate as soon as the vaccines become available, and good news yesterday that a third vaccine is coming on stream, pretty much straight away."
He added: "We understand how tough it is for all of us in our families living in Wales; people directly affected, businesses affected, people's mental health affected.
"There is a light at the end of the tunnel with a vaccination coming online but please do all you can to keep yourselves and your family safe so that we in the NHS can can look after you all."
Prof Andrew Easton, an expert on virology at the University of Warwick, said the global spread of coronavirus could mean society has to "live with the virus rather than to hope for its removal", similar to flu.
"It has gone so far around the world that eliminating it is going to be almost impossible, not entirely" he said.
"So we will have to learn to live with it," he said, adding that improved hygiene habits such and even wearing face masks may need to continue into the future.

Chris Paul helps Suns hold off Nuggets, improve to 5-1

DENVER (AP) - Chris Paul hit a clutch jumper with 7.3 seconds remaining after a successful coach's challenge on the other end and the Phoenix Suns moved to 5-1 for the first time since 2009-10 by holding off the scuffling Denver Nuggets 106-103 on Friday night.
With Phoenix leading 102-100 with around 30 seconds remaining, Mikal Bridges was called for a foul that would've sent Gary Harris to the line. But Suns coach Monty Williams successfully challenged the play, with replays showing Bridges slid underneath Harris with no contact.
Phoenix won the jump ball and Paul hit a jumper to send the Suns to the victory after blowing a 16-point lead. Jamal Murray's shot at the buzzer rimmed out.
Deandre Ayton had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Devin Booker added 22, and Paul 21 for Phoenix, which won the night before in Utah. The red-hot Suns have won 13 of their last 14 dating to their perfect stint inside the NBA bubble.
Nikola Jokic finished with 17 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds despite foul trouble. The Denver' big man is posting big numbers but his production isn´t translating into wins as the Nuggets fell to 1-4. The Nuggets are struggling to find their rhythm after making the Western Conference finals last season.
Murray returned from a bruised right elbow and found his range early, scoring 14 of his 31 points in the first quarter. The Nuggets were missing forward Michael Porter Jr., who was held out in accordance with the league´s health and safety protocols concerning COVID-19. Gone with him were 19.5 points per game.
Phoenix appeared on its way to an easy win when Booker extended the lead to to 87-71 on a 3-pointer with 2:17 left in the third. Monte Morris gave the Nuggets a 98-97 lead on a 3-pointer with 2:41 remaining. But Paul then hit two free throws and Booker a 3-pointer to restore some separation down the stretch.
It was the first win by the Suns in the Mile High City since Jan. 19, 2018.
TIP-INS
Suns: F Dario Saric (sore right quad) sat out on the second night of a back-to-back as a precaution. "We´re just trying to be careful," Williams explained. ... Williams said F/C Jalen Smith (sprained left ankle) is "on a course to be back here soon."
Nuggets: F JaMychal Green scored eight points in his Nuggets debut. The free-agent pickup missed the start of the season with a strained left calf.
TEACHING MOMENT
Nuggets coach Michael Malone is using the situation with Porter as a way to further emphasize the importance of adhering to all of the safety protocols in regard to the virus. Porter could miss multiple games because of contact tracing.
"These are real protocols. They´re in place for a reason," Malone said. "Unfortunate, but this is the current situation we´re in."
PRAISE FOR PAUL
Count Malone as a big fan of Paul, who was acquired by the Suns as part of their trade with Oklahoma City.
"A first-ballot Hall of Famer," Malone said.
BURGER KING
Paul Millsap recently equated Jokic's pinpoint passes leading to easy baskets with receiving free cheeseburgers.
"I don´t eat cheeseburgers. But if they´re free and come to me, I´m going to eat a few," Millsap cracked.
UP NEXT
Suns: Begin a two-game homestand Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Nuggets: At Minnesota on Sunday. The Nuggets have an eight-game winning streak over the Timberwolves.

Ten years ago, ragga singer Bobi Wine, sporting dreadlocks and oversized black sunglasses, regularly appeared in music videos surrounded by women, driving a Cadillac with a joint hanging out of his mouth.
Today the star, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, is an MP dressed in dark, tailored suits who is fighting to become president of Uganda in Thursday's election.
The 38-year-old former pop star has become the main challenger to President Yoweri Museveni, 76, who came to power in 1986 and is the only president that many in Uganda have ever known.
While Wine has been arrested numerous times since 2018, and says he was sometimes tortured, he has accused the regime of going to extremes to crack down on his campaign in recent weeks.
He has taken to wearing a bulletproof vest and combat helmet on the campaign trail, where his meetings have often ended in a cloud of teargas and with live rounds fired.
The hashtag #WeAreRemovingADictator has spread on social media among the supporters of his National Unity Platform (NUP).
- Fight against injustice -
Wine grew up in one of Kampala's biggest slums, Kamwokya, where thousands of Ugandans struggle to get by and feel forgotten by Museveni's government.
While he went on to study music and drama at university and now lives in a better neighbourhood, he still sees himself as the "ghetto president", a nickname he earned through his songs denouncing social and economic injustice.
His modest origins and youth are key to his popularity in a poor country where 40 percent of voters are under 30 years old and have known no president but Museveni.
As an MP, Wine notably fought against a tax on social media, widely seen as unfair and limiting freedom of speech.
"Having lived in the ghetto he appreciates how the poor like us live," said supporter and businessman Charles Mbagga, 37, who lives in the Gayaza slum, 15 kilometres (nine miles) north of the capital.
"Bobi Wine is popular because of his message for change, fight against injustice, corruption and unemployment among the poor and the youths."
He originally hails from the dominant Buganda kingdom -- one of several traditional kingdoms which were forced together under colonialism -- and is popular there.
"(The) Buganda kingdom is an important factor in the political context of Uganda. Bobi Wine has always been very careful with Buganda, making sure he has them on his side," said Kristof Titeca, a researcher at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
But analysts are sceptical over Wine's capacity to pull off an election win. The country is still traumatised by the tyranny of brutal dictator Idi Amin, who Museveni helped oust, ushering in peace and stability.
Rural areas and some groups like the military remain firmly behind the president.
- 'Dictatorship in panic' -
Nevertheless the regime has shown in recent weeks a certain anxiety towards the young upstart who Museveni has in the past referred to as "our grandson, the undisciplined Bobi Wine".
In mid-November at least 54 people were killed in clashes with police which were sparked by Wine's umpteenth arrest. In December a member of the singer's security team was killed by the army, according to his National Unity Platform (NUP).
At the end of December, election rallies -- already restricted to a quick address from the roof of a car -- were banned in Kampala and 10 other key districts.
Officially, this was due to Covid-19, but Wine and observers have seen this as a deliberate bid to frustrate his campaign.
"The dictatorship is in panic. They've been surprised by the massive enthusiasm and support we've been received with in all parts of the country," Wine wrote on Twitter.
Titeca argues the regime may have shot itself in the foot by cracking down on him, and the repression may help Wine win even more votes.
"The fact he has been able to face that crackdown, people getting killed around him, him not backing down on everything that is happening, it has made him a martyr in a way, somebody who dares to stand up to the current system," said the analyst.

Der Film „Pieces of a Woman“ handelt vom Tod eines Neugeborenen. Die Mutter und ihre Nächsten zerbrechen fast daran. Doch Vanessa Kirby gibt als Trauernde nicht auf.
Eine Frau liegt in Wehen, sie stöhnt, sie windet sich und schnappt nach Luft, klammert sich an ihren Lebenspartner, schiebt ihn fort, zieht in wieder zu sich und tauscht Blicke mit ihm, die von weit her zu kommen scheinen. Auf Geheiß der Hebamme lässt sie sich in die Badewanne manövrieren und wieder heraus, schreit und bäumt sich auf, sagt, ihr sei so schlecht, diese Schmerzen, ändert die Position. Es ist eine Qual. Dann geht alles plötzlich schnell. Pressen, befiehlt die Geburtshelferin, in deren Augen Panik aufflackert, weil sie die Herztöne des Kindes nicht mehr hört. Die Hausgeburt, in deren Intimität wir unvermittelt hineingeschleudert wurden und die wir, da in einer einzigen zwanzigminütigen Sequenz gedreht, trotz zeitlicher Kompression fast wie Augenzeugen verfolgen, steuert auf eine Katastrophe zu. Statt im erlösenden Schrei des Neugeborenen kulminiert sie im Neben- und Nacheinander von Schnappschüssen des Mutterglücks und Grauens, dem Blaulicht des Notarztwagens, in Rennen, Schreien, Weinen und alles verschluckender Schwärze: Das Kind ist tot. Der Hauptteil des Filmdramas „Pieces of a Woman“ von Kornél Mundruczó und Kata Wéber beginnt.
Bei den Filmfestspielen in Venedig, die unter Corona-Bedingungen im September stattfanden, wurde Vanessa Kirby verdientermaßen für die herausragende Darstellung einer in einen Abgrund stürzenden Mutter als beste Schauspielerin ausgezeichnet; Mundruczó erhielt den Preis für junges Kino. Nach seiner hündischen Sozial-Parabel „Underdog“ von 2014 und dem Flüchtling-wird-Superheld-Epos „Jupiter’s Moon“ von 2017 ist sein erster englischsprachiger Spielfilm, angesiedelt in der Bostoner Mittelklasse, ein geradezu konventionelles Stück des ungarischen Regisseurs – und doch alles anderes. In „Pieces of a Woman“ verarbeiten er und die Drehbuchautorin Kata Wéber – fiktionalisiert – den Verlust ihres eigenen gemeinsamen Kindes. Sie zeigen das Leiden einer Frau in Großaufnahme.
Wuchtig und direkt
Nun ist auch dieser Kinofilm ein Opfer der Pandemie geworden und wird auf Netflix ausgestrahlt statt in großen Sälen projiziert. Gut dürfte ihm das nicht tun. Es macht eben doch einen Unterschied, ob man sich physisch ins Dunkel begibt, um sich zwei Stunden künstlerisch geformtem Elend auszusetzen und danach das Ganze an der frischen Luft oder bei einem Glas mit Freunden abschüttelt, oder ob man zermürbt vom nächsten Lockdown in der eigenen Wohnung sitzend auf sein Streaming-Gerät zwischen die üble Meldungen von nah und fern noch einen Problemfilm lädt. Da braucht es schon eine gewisse seelische Belastbarkeit, mit der gleichen Hingabe hinzuschauen, zu der man sich im Kino freiwillig gezwungen hätte.
Doch es lohnt sich. Das erste Viertel des Films ist bemerkenswert nicht nur in der physischen Wucht und Direktheit, mit der hier der Albtraum aller werdenden Eltern (und Geburtshelfer) inszeniert wird. Nichts wirkt choreographiert. Lapidare Dialoge oder Schweigen heucheln keine höhere Einsicht. Was die von Vanessa Kirby gespielte Martha und Sean (Shia LaBeouf) durchmachen, wird als ebenso brutal, sinn- wie grundlos vorgestellt. Klar ist nur: Handlungsort dieser Tragödie ist der weibliche Körper, der mit einem Kind geteilt wurde und in der Geburt aufgebrochen, aber es nicht ins Leben entlassen konnte. Den Verlust negiert die Biologie mit peinvoller Beharrlichkeit: In den Alltag zurückgekehrt, sehen wir Martha mit Wochenfluss und nässenden Brüsten kämpfen – als wären die Distanz überforderter Kollegen auf der Arbeit und die umarmende Distanzlosigkeit einer Freundin der Mutter im Supermarkt nicht furchtbar genug.
Martha ist eine Frau in Stücken, zersplittert in Trauer und Scham über vermeintlich eigenes Versagen. Jeder aus ihrem nächsten Umfeld will sich ein Fragment greifen, um damit den eigenen Schmerz zu heilen. Am schlimmsten mit anzusehen ist in der zweiten Hälfte des Films, wie Sean Sex von Martha einfordert. Es ist ein scheiterndes Sich-Aufdrängen, halb abgewiesen, halb erduldet, an der Grenze zum körperlichen Übergriff, dem verbale Attacken folgen werden. Marthas Mutter Elizabeth, als stählernde Matriarchin verkörpert von keiner geringeren als Ellen Burstyn, verlangt von Martha dagegen Kämpfergeist in ganz anderer Hinsicht: Sie soll die Hebamme verklagen und hinter Gitter bringen. Weil, wie Elizabeth in einem ergreifend gespielten Monolog ausstößt, sie selbst ohne den Kampfeswillen ihrer eigenen Mutter als Baby in Ungarn nicht dem Holocaust entronnen wäre.
Dick aufgetragen
Das ist einer der Momente, in denen auch in „Pieces of a Woman“ etwas zerfällt. Dass Ellen Burstyn zu alt ist, um glaubhaft Marthas Mutter darzustellen, wiegt nicht weiter schwer. Aber warum der Kindstod aus dem Nichts heraus, durch einen genealogischen Drahtseilakt, mit Millionen ermordeten Juden in Verbindung gebracht wird, leuchtet nicht recht ein. Immer wieder tragen Mundruczó und Weber einfach zu dick auf. Muss die unvollendete Brücke, an deren Baustelle der in Hilflosigkeit gestürzte Macher und Underdog Sean malocht, wirklich leitmotivisch ins Bild gestellt werden, um die Unverbundenheit der Menschen symbolisieren, die Wunde, das fehlende Bindeglied? Zeigt sich das Ausmaß häuslicher Zerrüttung wirklich an ungespültem Geschirr und welken Zimmerpflanzen? Muss Martha allen Ernstes Apfelbäumchen ziehen, was zu einer kitschigen Happy-End-Vision führt? Sollte man allzu selbstverständlich darauf vertrauen, dass eine rauchende Frau am Fenster zur richtigen Klaviermusik schon elegisch wirkt? Und: Wer knipst heute noch bei Geburten Aufnahmen mit Rollfilm? Letzteres muss sein, weil es dramaturgisch wichtig wird. So verliert der Film nach einem starken Auftakt, der in Erinnerung bleiben wird, sich in sich selbst. Martha aber, sich wehrend gegen alle von außen an sie herangetragenen Trauer-Vorschriften, wird von Vanessa Kirby aufrecht bis ins Schlussbild geführt.

'Absolute rubbish' - Langer goes into bat for Paine, Smith

Australia coach Justin Langer gave under-fire skipper Tim Paine his "100 percent" support and blasted criticism of Steve Smith as "absolute rubbish" Wednesday after a backlash against the pair's behaviour in the drawn third Test against India in Sydney.
Paine's captaincy has been questioned after he launched an ugly verbal tirade at India's Ravi Ashwin and Smith was accused of foul play after appearing to scuff up batsman Rishabh Pant's guard at the crease during a tense final day.
But an indignant Langer was having none of it.
"Do I have faith in Tim Paine? You have no idea how much faith I have in Tim Paine," he said.
"He didn't have his best day, no doubt about that, but after three years he has hardly put a hair out of place.
"He has been outstanding as the Australian captain in everything he does. He had a frustrating day and we have got to cut him some slack, surely."
Wicketkeeper Paine, guilty of dropping three catches on the final day, has apologised and admitted frustration got the better of him when he tried to unsettle Ashwin, who held out for more than three hours for an unbeaten 39 as the tourists salvaged a draw.
Stump microphones picked up Paine making a series of barbs, including calling Ashwin a "dickhead".
Paine had already been fined for dissent after an expletive-laden rant at umpire Paul Wilson on day two, with the incidents undermining Langer's drive to revamp the team's toxic culture after the "Sandpaper-gate" ball-tampering scandal in 2018.
While backing Paine to continue as captain "for some time yet", Langer also acknowledged criticism would come if anyone deviated from the high standards the team now set themselves.
"When you set a standard as high as he does, and we do, we understand we get criticised when you fall below that. It's not what we are about," he said.
"But Tim is an outstanding leader and will continue to be for some time to come yet. He has my 100 percent support."
- 'A bit quirky' -
Footage of Smith, who was Australia's captain during the sandpaper scandal and banned for year, suggested he deliberately interfered with Pant's batting guard -- a mark made at the crease to know where your feet are in relation to the wicket behind you.
The number four is renowned for his quirks, including shadow-batting while fielding, and strongly denied doing anything wrong.
"As for Steve Smith, I literally cannot believe some of the rubbish I've read -- absolute load of rubbish," said Langer.
"I mean, anyone who knows Steve Smith, he is a bit quirky... and we have all laughed about it for the last couple of years.
"What Steve Smith does at the crease he does it probably most games, he's just thinking about the game. Anyone who suggests for one millisecond he was trying to do something untoward, they're way out of line.
"On that wicket, that was that flat, and it was like concrete, you'd need 15-inch spikes to make an indent on the crease and he went nowhere near the crease," Langer added.
"So seriously, I thought that was absolutely ludicrous."
The fourth and final Test gets underway on Friday in Brisbane, with the series locked at 1-1.

Stuttgart (dpa/lsw) - Trotz der Lieferverzögerungen bei den Impfstoff-Lieferungen des Pharmakonzerns Pfizer gehen die 50 Kreisimpfzentren in Baden-Württemberg am Freitag an den Start. Erste Termine konnten zwar am Dienstag vereinbart werden. Allerdings bremste das Gesundheitsministerium sogleich die Euphorie: «Klar ist: Es wird sehr, sehr wenig Termine geben. Und viele Menschen werden keinen bekommen», sagte ein Sprecher des Gesundheitsministeriums in Stuttgart. «Das muss man in aller Deutlichkeit so sagen und wir müssen weiterhin um Geduld bitten.» Grund seien weniger die fehlende Kapazität oder das Personal als der nicht vorhandene Impfstoff.
Nach Angaben des Ministerium sollte am Dienstag noch die vereinbarte Menge des Impfstoffs von Pfizer/Biontech geliefert werden. Dem Betrieb der Kreisimpfzentren stehe damit nichts im Wege. Bis Ende Januar könne dort auch bei Lieferverzögerungen geimpft werden, allerdings weniger als geplant. Pfizer hatte wegen der Erweiterung seiner Kapazitäten im zentralen Werk in Belgien angekündigt, die Lieferungen des Corona-Impfstoffs reduzieren zu müssen.
Nach Angaben von Ministeriumssprecher Markus Jox stehen in den ersten beiden Wochen in jedem KIZ lediglich 585 Impfdosen pro Woche für eine Erstimpfung zur Verfügung. «Diese müssen auch noch einmal auf Impfungen im Zentrum selbst sowie auf Impfungen durch die Mobilen Impf-Teams in den Pflegeheimen verteilt werden», sagte Jox der dpa. «Es wird also lediglich um die 150 Termine pro Woche geben.»
Nur das Kreisimpfzentrum in Singen hat aufgrund eines technischen Fehlers bereits am vergangenen Freitag (15. Januar) mit dem Impfen begonnen. Zu diesem Termin hätten eigentlich alle Kreisimpfzentren starten sollen. Der Auftakt wurde wegen fehlenden Impfstoffs aber verschoben.

'So much death': LA hospital reels at center of Covid storm

Deep within a South Los Angeles hospital, a row of elderly Hispanic men lay hooked up to ventilators -- their bodies resting in induced comas -- while nurses clad in spacesuit-style respirators checked their patients' bleeping monitors in the otherwise eerie silence.
The intensive care unit in one of the city's poorest districts is well-accustomed to death, but with Los Angeles now at the heart of the United States's Covid-19 pandemic, medics say they have never seen anything on this scale.
"It's hard. We're human, and we're trying our best," said nurse Vanessa Arias. "But we've seen so much death during the past few weeks."
Barely moments earlier, she had informed another tearful family that their mother had just passed.
"We're in the midst of the eye of the storm," she said.
Martin Luther King Jr Community Hospital, sandwiched between the neighborhoods of Watts and Compton, is stretched far beyond capacity by an unrelenting influx of coronavirus patients.
When AFP visited this week, it had converted a chapel and former gift shop into overflow and examination rooms, created new makeshift ICU beds in the post-surgery ward, and built field hospital tents outside its front entrance.
The 131-bed hospital had 215 patients, the majority with Covid. National Guard medics had just arrived to ease the strain on overwhelmed doctors and nurses.
"If Los Angeles is the epicenter of the world, this community is the epicenter of Covid in Los Angeles," said hospital CEO Elaine Batchlor.
Surrounding neighborhoods are overwhelmingly Hispanic and Black -- two demographics hit hardest by the virus.
The US has had more coronavirus cases and deaths than any other country in the world. On Thursday, it set a new record of nearly 4,000 Covid deaths in one day, bringing the country's overall total to more than 364,000.
The country's confirmed number of infections was 21.5 million.
At the MLK hospital, many of the patients are essential workers, highly exposed at jobs in grocery stores and public transport, and living in crowded homes where isolating is near-impossible.
Even before Covid, the community suffered from epidemic levels of preventable and chronic disease, including diabetes, obesity, heart disease and sepsis.
"We're seeing whole families, groups of them, getting sick at the same time," said Arias, who like many MLK staff is herself Hispanic and grew up locally.
"I could have been one of these people... It's very unfortunate to see people that look like you die."
- 'Worst I've been to' -
The infection numbers affecting Los Angeles since November have been staggering, even after 10 long months of pandemic in the nation's second largest city.
A record 8,000 county residents are currently hospitalized with Covid. Around one in 12 have already been infected, and one in five of those tested recently are positive. More than 11,000 have died.
"I was also in New York when it was really bad. But this has probably been the worst I've been to," said Taylor Reed, a 24-year-old traveling nurse, who also worked in Washington, DC and Minnesota last year.
California was initially praised for its handling of the pandemic in the spring, but skyrocketing cases have sent most of the state back under "stay-at-home" orders.
Ambulance workers have been told to stop transporting some patients with extremely low survival chances.
California hospitals were this week ordered to postpone non-urgent surgeries and to accept Covid-19 patients from elsewhere in the hard-hit state if they have space.
Still reeling from a spike caused by Thanksgiving gatherings that spread infections, state public health chiefs expect the Christmas coronavirus "surge upon a surge" to peak in the next two weeks.
- 'Under this pressure' -
According to Batchlor, MLK's disadvantaged location gives it one key strength.
Accustomed to operating a "very, very busy emergency department" in normal times, the gleaming new facility's staff are extremely well-practiced at rapidly processing patients.
Most have now received at least one dose of the new Pfizer vaccine.
But Batchlor still fears for her dedicated employees, who are stretched thinner than ever as more patients continue to arrive.
"When I talk to our doctors and nurses working in our intensive care unit, they continue to assure me that they're on top of it," she said.
"But I'm worried about how long they've been in this situation and under this pressure."
For Arias, keeping each patient's family members "in the loop" despite near-daily deaths helps to "makes me always feel fulfilled."
But shortly before AFP's visit, she called the relatives of an elderly Hispanic lady who was rapidly deteriorating.
"As soon as I thought she was going to expire, I called them to rush over here," said Arias, hopeful they might arrive in time to say goodbye.
"Unfortunately, they didn't."

Republicans torn over Trump´s Electoral College challenge of Biden

President Donald Trump’s extraordinary challenge of his election defeat by President-elect Joe Biden is becoming a defining moment for the Republican Party before next week’s joint session of Congress to confirm the Electoral College results.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging Republicans not to try to overturn the election, but not everyone is heeding him.
Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri has vowed to join House Republicans in objecting to the state tallies. On the other side of the party’s split, fellow GOP senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska warns such challenges are a “dangerous ploy” threatening the nation’s civic norms.
Caught in the middle is vice president Mike Pence, who faces growing pressure from Mr Trump’s allies over his ceremonial role in presiding over the session Wednesday. This has included a lawsuit – aimed to give Mr Pence the power to overturn the results of the presidential election – that was dismissed by a federal judge on Friday.
The days ahead are expected to do little to change the outcome.
Mr Biden is set to be inaugurated on January 20 after winning the Electoral College vote 306-232. But the effort to subvert the will of voters is forcing Republicans to make choices that will set the contours of the post-Trump era and an evolving GOP.
“I will not be participating in a project to overturn the election,” Mr Sasse wrote in a lengthy social media post.
Mr Sasse, a potential 2024 presidential contender, said he was “urging my colleagues also to reject this dangerous ploy”.
Mr Trump, the first president to lose a re-election bid in almost 30 years, has attributed his defeat to widespread voter fraud, despite the consensus of non-partisan election officials that there was none.
Of the roughly 50 lawsuits the president and his allies have filed challenging election results, nearly all have been dismissed or dropped. He has also lost twice at the US Supreme Court.
Still, the president has pushed Republican senators to pursue his unfounded charges even though the Electoral College has already cemented Mr Biden’s victory, and all that is left is Congress’s formal recognition of the count before the new president is sworn in.
“We are letting people vote their conscience,” senator John Thune, the second-ranking Republican, told reporters at the Capitol.
Mr Thune’s remarks as the GOP whip in charge of rounding up votes show Republican leadership is not putting its muscle behind Mr Trump’s demands, but allowing senators to choose their course. He noted the gravity of questioning the election outcome.
“This is an issue that’s incredibly consequential, incredibly rare historically and very precedent-setting,” he said. “This is a big vote. They are thinking about it.”
Mr Pence will be carefully watched as he presides over what is typically a routine vote count in Congress but is now heading toward a prolonged showdown that could extend into Wednesday night, depending on how many challenges Mr Hawley and others mount.
A federal judge on Friday dismissed a last-gasp lawsuit led by a House Republican aimed at giving Mr Pence the power to overturn the results of the election won by Mr Biden when Congress formally counts the Electoral College votes next week.
Mr Pence, as president of the Senate, will oversee the session on Wednesday and declare the winner of the White House race. The Electoral College this month cemented Mr Biden’s 306-232 victory.
The suit named Mr Pence, who has a largely ceremonial role in next week’s proceedings, as the defendant, and asked the court to throw out the 1887 law that spells out how Congress handles the vote counting.
It asserted the vice president “may exercise the exclusive authority and sole discretion in determining which electoral votes to count for a given State”.
In dismissing the lawsuit filed by Texan Republican representative Louie Gohmert and a group of Republican electors from Arizona, Texas US District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee, wrote that the plaintiffs “allege an injury that is not fairly traceable” to Mr Pence, “and is unlikely to be redressed by the requested relief”.

ARD und ZDF hätten den Sturm auf das Kapitol in Washington verschlafen, wird allenthalben kritisiert. Bei genauem Hinsehen zeigt sich: So ganz stimmt das nicht.
Wenn sich die Nachrichtenlage überschlägt, sehen unsere öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender in den Augen mancher Beobachter nie gut aus. Blitzen bei CNN „Breaking News“ auf, so die Erwartung, müsse das im Ersten und im Zweiten ganz genauso sein. Doch was läuft da stattdessen? Ein Spielfilm, eine Dokumentation, am Ende gar Unterhaltung.
Historische Beispiele für langsames Reagieren und fehlendes Gespür für den journalistischen Scoop gibt es. Man denke nur an den Fall der Mauer, die Nacht des 9. November 1989, in der die DDR-Grenzer an der Bornholmer Straße in Berlin die Schlagbäume hoben und die Menschen über die innerdeutsche Grenze strömten. „Es ist nicht mehr zu halten. Wir fluten jetzt“, meldete Harald Jäger, einer der beiden Kommandanten an der Bornholmer Straße, seinen Vorgesetzten. Als Erste an Ort und Stelle und auf Sendung waren nicht ARD oder ZDF, sondern ein Team von „Spiegel TV“.
Am Mittwochabend schien sich die Aufstellung zu wiederholen. Hunderte, Tausende von Trump-Anhängern marschierten ins Kapitol in Washington ein, randalierten, machten Selfies, die Abgeordneten mussten in Sicherheit gebracht werden, bei den Krawallen kamen fünf Menschen ums Leben. Die amerikanischen Sender hatten selbstverständlich kein anderes Thema als den Sturm aufs Kapitol.
Für die Zuschauer von ARD und ZDF aber drehte sich die Welt etwas langsamer – so sie den ersten oder zweiten Kanal eingeschaltet hatten. „Für immer Sommer 90“ und „Die Liebe des Hans Albers“ gab es in der ARD, „Nord Nord Mord“ und „Balkan-Style“ im ZDF. Hinweise auf die Ereignisse in Washington jedoch fehlten nicht. Sie kamen per eingeblendetem Textband. Auf Sendung zum Thema waren die Öffentlich-Rechtlichen von 20.40 Uhr an zuerst mit dem Kanal, der dafür da ist – Phoenix. Eine Stunde später brachte das Erste eine zehnminütige Extra-Ausgabe der „Tagesthemen“, das ZDF war mit dem „heute journal“ präsent, das mit 8,82 Millionen Zuschauer ein sehr viel größeres Publikum hatte als sonst. Eine Stunde darauf folgte ein „heute journal spezial“, auf der Nachrichtenplattform „zdfheute“ gab es eine einstündige Sondersendung.
Wer wollte, konnte also erkennen, dass sich die Journalisten der Sender nicht im Tiefschlaf befanden. Man musste nur wissen, wo sie senden. Insofern darf man die Twitter-Nachrichten des früheren ARD-Chefredakteurs Ulrich Deppendorf und des ZDF-Moderators Claus Kleber für erstaunlich halten. Deppendorf bekundete, er verstehe ARD und ZDF nicht mehr, Kleber, der an diesem Abend nicht Dienst hatte, empfahl in dem ihm eigenen Befehlston: „Unfassbare Szenen im US #capitol. #CNN einschalten. Sofort“.
Wie der Hase in seinem eigenen Sender läuft, muss sich Kleber vielleicht bei Gelegenheit von der stellvertretenden Chefredakteurin Bettina Schausten erklären lassen. Sie verwies darauf, dass man die „neue Informationsplattform ZDFheute intensiv für die Live-Berichterstattung genutzt“ und damit ihres Erachtens „linear und non-linear erstklassige Information geboten“ habe. Das entspreche „der geplanten strategischen Entwicklung der ZDF-Nachrichten“. Warum der Korrespondent Elmar Theveßen in der Sonderausgabe des „heute journals“ nicht im Bild zugeschaltet werden konnte, erklärte Bettina Schausten auch: Demonstranten hatten das Equipment des Drehteams attackiert. So war Theveßen nur am Telefon zu hören. Mit Ersatzausrüstung rückte er später wieder ins Bild.

Israeli health funds at centre of vaccination push

As he gingerly lowered himself into a chair after his first coronavirus vaccine jab, Simcha Barlow, a 75-year-old Israeli ultra-Orthodox Jew, said deciding to get inoculated was simple.
"If the rabbis approve, I do not ask any questions at all," the hobbling Torah scholar told AFP at a clinic in the mainly ultra-Orthodox, or haredi, city of Bnei Brak.
Israel's initial vaccination rollout appears to be unfolding successfully, with some two million citizens having received the first of two required injections of the Pfizer-BioNTech jab, a pace widely described as the world's fastest per capita.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu -- who faces yet another re-election contest and a corruption trial over the coming weeks -- has sought to highlight his personal role in the inoculation campaign.
Netanyahu has in particular emphasised his discussions with executives from Pfizer and Moderna that he says have ensured Israel will have enough supply to vaccinate its entire over-16 population by the end of March.
Media outlets have reported that Israel paid above market price to Pfizer to ensure ample supply. The health ministry declined to comment on those reports.
But experts have said that beyond vaccine procurement, much of the responsibility for the apparently smooth rollout belongs to the country's health funds, known as health maintenance organisations (HMOs).
Israel's four HMOs maintain meticulous information about patients under their care and can deliver health messages to them directly, by text message if necessary, experts said.
Strategies to promote vaccination are tailored to specific communities, which for haredim like Barlow has meant engaging top rabbis from the outset, ensuring they would encourage followers to get the jab.
- Data-driven -
Nationwide, HMOs have been credited with swiftly generating lists of vaccination candidates, organised by priority, and personally contacting them to come for a shot.
And, experts have stressed, a key difference between Israel's uneven coronavirus response and the vaccination effort is that the HMOs, not the government, are leading on inoculation.
"I think the government learnt its lesson and is letting the HMOs do what they know how to do," said Dov Chernichovsky, head of the health policy programme at Israel's Taub Center think tank.
Chernichovsky accused the government of undermining its pandemic response by not relying enough on the HMOs, especially when it came to testing, an area where he said isolating the HMOs was "absurd".
"The state decided not to use the HMOs in the beginning, which was a huge mistake," he said. "Someone came to their senses."
HMO membership is mandatory for all Israeli citizens. People can switch twice a year if they are unsatisfied with their service.
Unlike conventional insurance companies, Israel's HMOs are not-for-profit and play a direct role in medical service delivery, employing doctors and running clinics as well as covering the costs of care.
The operating model was first set up by Jews living in Ottoman-era Palestine, Chernichovsky said.
The chief executive of the Meuhedet HMO, Sigal Regev Rosenberg, said that the detailed information held about patients allowed her organisation to generate vaccination schedules quickly.
"We immediately set up a data system that identified which people to summon as a first priority, who was second priority, and who could wait. The whole thing took 10 minutes," Rosenberg said.
With haredim, HMOs worked with leading rabbis "from the beginning of the operation", she said.
- Palestinians -
However, Rosenberg noted that more work was still required to ensure widespread vaccination among Arab Israelis.
A doctor with the coronavirus unit in Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, Ali al-Jibrini, told AFP that Palestinians in the area initially had "little interest in getting vaccinated", blaming in part misinformation on social media.
"But there has been something of an awakening and the numbers are starting to increase," he said.
Despite Israel's success in vaccinating its own population, criticism has mounted over the Jewish state's position on the inoculation of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza.
Rights groups like Amnesty International have cited international law to argue that, as an occupying military power, Israel must provide vaccines to the entire Palestinian population.
The Palestinian Authority, which controls the West Bank, is pursuing its own procurement options, and on Monday announced contracts with four producers, including the makers of Russia's Sputnik V.
The PA has not publicly asked for Israel's help in securing supply, and neither have the Hamas Islamists, who control Israeli-blockaded Gaza.
Nadav Davidovitch, director of the school of public health at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba, said supporting Palestinian vaccinations was not only "the right thing to do morally", but was also in Israel's interest.
"We live next to each other, and if we want to create herd immunity, it's important they also get vaccinated," said Davidovitch, who also sits on a panel advising the government on the pandemic response.

The stresses of 2020 will have put a significant strain on many people, not only mentally and physically, but financially, too.

The stresses of 2020 will have put a significant strain on many people, not only mentally and physically, but financially, too.
It’s time to tackle your finances tactically and practically.
It can be tempting to bury our heads in the sand in a way of getting through each day, but this will lead to overwhelm and further issues down the line.
These tips will help you feel more in control and able to manage your finances in a crisis.
Avoid new debt where possible
If you spend more than you earn, live pay cheque to pay cheque and have to borrow to pay it off or fill the gap then this debt could snowball and land you in bigger financial stress than you started with.
Have a proper look at your finances
It’s time to sit down and have a frank and open look at your finances – be accurate, be honest and know exactly what state your finances are in.
From here you can work out a plan to get out of debt or manage them so that you stay afloat in the ongoing crisis.
Start a budgeting document
Use a budgeting document to ensure you track all money in and out throughout the month and prepare for any big outgoings coming up during the year so that nothing comes as a nasty, costly surprise.
Use this insight to see where you can make savings and cut spending – the gym membership is a clear example, eating out, entertainment, beauty treatments. All of these have been taken out of our spending so use this excess money to save what you could have been spending and don’t re-direct them to other areas.
Always save your emergency fund first
This is your safety net of three to six months of your outgoings, should you become unable to work or lose your job.
This money needs to be easily accessible so not in investments or an account where you get charged for taking it out early.
Invest in yourself
Invest in yourself during this time. If you’ve been furloughed, this is an amazing time to do a free course to learn something new or train in something you never had the time to do, and then use these new skills once the world can open again to earn more money or do something you have a passion for.
Continue to save
This may be hard if you’ve lost your job or need to pay more out, but it’s important to keep building your savings to protect yourself from future financial issues.
Be aware of scams
Sadly, some fraudsters and scams will take advantage of people’s desperate situations so be hype-aware of these.
Never give details over the phone, or click links on messages – including unknown WhatsApp messages – and always tell them you’ll call people back if they pretend to be from the bank or your supplier.
Check in on any elderly relatives who may need help with this and talk them through how to add two-factor authentication to social profiles.
Check for Government benefits
Check for Government benefits that you might be eligible for – from the warm home discount, school meal vouchers and mortgage holidays.
Easy ways to curb lockdown spending
Depending on your spending triggers – emotional, boredom, stress, happiness, etc. the new lockdown could see some unhealthy spending habits arise so check in with yourself and acknowledge them when they happen.
Developing a frugal mindset now, while a lot of the spending choices have been taken from our hands, can be great for your future financial situation.

SEOUL, Jan 2 (Reuters) - South Korea will expand a ban on private gatherings larger than four people to include the whole country, and extend unprecedented social distancing rules in Seoul and neighbouring areas until Jan. 17, the health minister said on Saturday.
Kwon Deok-cheol told a briefing that the measures were necessary to reduce a prolonged surge in infections that has led to a spike in deaths.
The country reported 824 new cases as of midnight on Friday, down from 1,029 a day before, a drop that officials said was likely due to less testing over the New Year holiday.
As much as 40% of recent cases have been linked to small gatherings, Kwon said. The ban on such gatherings had been imposed in Seoul and neighbouring areas before the Christmas holiday and had been due to expire on Sunday.
The country also has restrictions on churches, restaurants, cafes, ski resorts, and other venues.
Kwon apologised to citizens for having to maintain the rules, but thanked them for their "solidarity and cooperation."
Given plans to begin vaccinations in February, the next few months will be the "last hurdle", he said.
After initial success in subduing earlier waves of infections, South Korea has struggled to reduce this latest and largest surge, with daily cases hovering around 1,000 for weeks. (Reporting by Josh Smith; Editing by Kim Coghill)
