Hugo Vickers, royal biographer, discussed Harry’s step down from Royal Family duties being a “pointless exercise in self-exile” when he recalled the NHS tributes during the first lockdown. Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge both took part in the national clap for frontline workers.
Mr Vickers said Harry’s step down from royal duties was a shame as he was “doing such a good job and getting a lot out of it”.
He said to the Telegraph: “The Army was good for him and the Commonwealth was good for him.
“He seemed to have found his level and his skill.
“During the NHS clapping, I thought how, after the Cambridges clapped, it would have been great to have heard from him.”

The royal expert went on to address Harry and Meghan’s summit with the Royal Family, where the Sussexes are believed to be negotiating a year-long extension to their current deal as royals.
He said: “There’s supposed to be a summit with the Sussexes in March.
“I can’t see them coming over to discuss this personally.
"He’s isolated from his family, the army, his friends, the Commonwealth. It’s a pointless existence in self-exile.”
Piers Morgan, Good Morning Britain host, has previously blasted Harry and Meghan for how they have conducted themselves during the pandemic.
He said to Express.co.uk, comparing William and Harry: “I think the way the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have conducted themselves during the pandemic has been starkly at odds with the Sussexes, and to their great credit.
“They understand what to do. I thought Harry understood that but he has got no interest in duty.
“He has been completely bamboozled in a way that we saw the last time American lady entered the Royal Family.”

In April last year, Harry hailed the “wonderfully British” response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking from Los Angeles to the Declassified podcast, he stated he was “incredibly proud” to see the “very best of the human spirit” as the country battled with its first nationwide lockdown.
He added, referencing Army veterans stepping up during the pandemic: “It's such a wonderfully British thing that we all come to help when we need it.”
Harry then said: “I think in today's culture we need more role models that are willing to put others ahead of themselves.
“It makes me incredibly proud to see the Brits stepping up like this. I really hope this keeps going after coronavirus.”
Harry and Meghan were also previously seen volunteering in Los Angeles handing out school supplies to children.
The Sussexes, working with Baby2Baby last August, also handed out clothing and hygiene supplies to local students and families in need as US schools reopened.
Harry also volunteered to deliver food parcels to military veterans and their families in Compton last November.
The Duke was assisting the Walker Family Events Foundation, who praised him for being “very humble and kind”.

Berlin (dpa) - Die Gesundheitsämter Nordrhein-Westfalens haben dem Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) 4511 Corona-Neuinfektionen binnen eines Tages gemeldet. Außerdem wurden im bevölkerungsreichsten Bundesland 236 neue Todesfälle innerhalb von 24 Stunden verzeichnet, wie das RKI am Mittwochmorgen bekanntgab. Die Zahl der Neuinfektionen in den vergangenen 7 Tagen pro 100 000 Einwohner lag am Mittwochmorgen im Landesdurchschnitt bei 115,3. Die 7-Tage-Inzidenz ist demnach am höchsten im Kreis Gütersloh mit 179,5 Fällen. Am niedrigsten ist diese Infektionskennziffer im Hochsauerlandkreis mit 62,7 Fällen.
Nach den jüngsten RKI-Daten liegt somit zwar kein Kreis und keine kreisfreie Stadt in Nordrhein-Westfalen über der Marke von 200 bei der 7-Tage-Inzidenz. Eine Interpretation der Daten bleibt aber schwierig, weil um Weihnachten und den Jahreswechsel Corona-Fälle laut RKI verzögert entdeckt, erfasst und übermittelt wurden.

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Mexico´s election regulatory agency announced Tuesday it will ban media outlets from transmitting at full length President Andrés Manuel López Obrador´s daily morning news conferences.
The temporary ban is aimed at ensuring equity in the country´s June congressional and state elections, after opposition parties complained that López Obrador uses the conferences to tout his public works projects and criticize opponents.
The campaigns, and the ban, start April 4. The hours-long, free-wheeling press conferences have become staple viewing for many Mexicans.
Under rules announced by the head of the Federal Electoral Institute, TV stations won´t be able to broadcast them live, without interruption, but can use excerpts until the June 6 vote is over. It was unclear if the ban applied to social media, where the conferences are also aired in their entirety.
Media ad purchases and air time are strictly regulated under Mexican electoral law.
The decision by the independent electoral institute sets up a likely conflict with López Obrador, who has cast doubt in the past on the usefulness of autonomous regulatory agencies, which he calls wasteful and unnecessary.

PRINCE William "will be unhappy" that Prince Harry seems to be "exploiting Princess Diana's status", a royal expert has predicted.

PRINCE William "will be unhappy" that Prince Harry seems to be "exploiting Princess Diana's status", a royal expert has predicted.
The Duke of Cambridge could become “worried” if Prince Harry uses their late mother on his Archewell Foundation’s website, royal author Phil Damphier claimed. Speaking to the Dailymail.co.uk, Mr Damphier said Harry’s apparent omission of Prince Charles’ work in his charity’s website could be “significant” for the brothers.
He said: “I think William will be slightly worried if Harry uses Diana for any of his charitable or commercial ventures without consulting him, and I don't think he would be happy if Harry appears to be exploiting his mother's iconic status.
“It's also very significant that Harry called himself his 'mother's son' but has made no mention of Prince Charles.
“William is very much following now in his father's footsteps with his environmental and conservation work.
“And although Harry has praised his father in the past, it seems odd not to mention him more and work in conjunction with him, rather than separately.”
But the apparent dig at Prince Charles could also be a sign of empathy from Harry as his wife, Meghan Markle, is thought not to have a close relationship with her father.
The royal author said: “I suspect that part of the reason for the emphasis on mothers is that Meghan is so close to her mother and of course is estranged from her father, so perhaps Harry is thinking of her when he concentrates only on Diana.
“I think that for many years Harry bottled up his feelings about his mother's tragic death and Meghan encouraged him to dig deep and bring out some of the problems that he has been wrestling with.”
The expert warned the Duke’s openness about his mother could help him overcome his problems or cause him to stay stuck in the past.
Prince Harry was accused of “commoditising” Princess Diana in his and Meghan’s “letter to 2021” displayed on the Archwell.com website.
At the start of the letter, the couple said: “I am my mother’s son. And I am my son’s mother.”
The allusion to Harry’s mother, as well as images of Harry and Diana published on the website have been denounced by TalkRADIO’s Kevin O’Sullivan, who claimed the Sussexes are “blatantly cashing in on the royal connections, turning being a member of the Royal Family into a massive income”.
Mr O’Sullivan accused the couple of using Diana’s legacy “basically to make money”.

Former royal editor at The Sun Charlie Rae said, while William tried to defend Diana’s memory over a number of years, the Sussexes were “using her for just the sake of using a hook to make money”.
Royal Fans took to Twitter to express their thoughts on the incendiary remarks.
One royal fan wrote: “I guess it’s OK for HIM to monetise his mother and son to promote podcasts and Netflix deals.”
Another commenter added: “Harry is doing exactly what he claims the media did to his Mum.”
A third person added that Harry was “selling out,” while someone else accused the Duke of telling people “do as I say not as I do”.
In 2019, the Duke released a statement on the Royal Family’s website saying the media was “commoditising” his mother.
He wrote: “As a couple, we believe in media freedom and objective, truthful reporting. We regard it as a cornerstone of democracy and in the current state of the world ‒ on every level ‒ we have never needed responsible media more.
“Unfortunately, my wife has become one of the latest victims of a British tabloid press that wages campaigns against individuals with no thought to the consequences ‒ a ruthless campaign that has escalated over the past year, throughout her pregnancy and while raising our newborn son.
“There is a human cost to this relentless propaganda, specifically when it is knowingly false and malicious, and though we have continued to put a brave face ‒ as so many of you can relate to ‒ I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been. Because in today’s digital age, press fabrications are repurposed as truth across the globe.”

Essen (dpa/lnw) - Weiße Flocken und glatte Straßen: In Nordrhein-Westfalen werden ab Mittwochabend immer mehr Schneefälle erwartet. Wie eine Sprecherin des Deutschen Wetterdienstes (DWD) in Essen sagte, bringt ein Niederschlagsgebiet, das aus dem Norden über das Land zieht, verbreitet Schnee mit sich. In einem Streifen vom Mindener Land in Richtung Sauerland und Bergisches Land sollen die Flocken demnach liegen bleiben. Ob das auch für den Schnee im Ruhrgebiet und im Münsterland gelte, sei fraglich. Ab dem Abend kann es auch in tieferen Lagen glatt werden.
Zunächst bleibt es am Mittwoch tagsüber noch bei leichten Schneefällen oberhalb von etwa 400 Metern. Der DWD warnt bei Temperaturen im Frostbereich bereits tagsüber vor Glätte. In der Nacht zu Donnerstag sei insbesondere in Westfalen verbreitet mit glatten Straßen zu rechnen.
Am Donnerstag rechnet der DWD den Angaben zufolge immer wieder mit Niederschlägen. Im Bergland soll es demnach erneut leichten Schneefall geben, der sich auch bis in den Freitag hineinzieht. Im Tagesverlauf kommt laut DWD in der Eifel die ein oder andere Flocke vom Himmel. In tieferen Lagen entlang des Rheins soll es überwiegend Regen geben. Dort kann es den Angaben zufolge auch glatt werden.

Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) - Angesichts der Ausbreitung des Coronavirus werden die Kapazitäten in den hessischen Krankenhäusern knapper. Bei den Intensivbetten sei die Situation «sehr angespannt», teilte das hessische Sozialministerium der Deutschen Presse-Agentur mit. Derzeit seien hessenweit rund 89 Prozent der bepflegbaren Intensivbetten belegt. «Dies ist für die Jahreszeit ein außerordentlich hoher Wert. Landesweit stellen wir uns auf einen weiteren Anstieg der Zahl von Intensivpatienten ein.»
Eine angespannte Lage sieht das Ministerium aber auch auf den Normalstationen der Krankenhäuser. Hier liege die Auslastung landesweit bei rund 76 Prozent. Auch dies sei ein für die Jahreszeit hoher Wert. Wenn nach den Weihnachtstagen vermehrt Patienten die Kliniken aufsuchen, «steigt die Auslastung absehbar an», hieß es. Mittlerweile gebe es erste Anzeichen, dass die Patientenzahl auf hohem Niveau stagniere. «Es ist allerdings noch zu früh, um von einer Trendwende zu sprechen», hieß es. Betroffen von Engpässen seien vor allem die Versorgungsgebiete Wiesbaden-Limburg sowie Darmstadt. Um solche «hochgradig belasteten» Versorgungsgebiete zu entlasten und eilige Verlegungen zu vermeiden, würden Patienten präventiv verlegt. «Damit konnten wir bisher Verlegungen wegen akuter Überbelegung vermeiden.»
Insgesamt sei die Versorgungssituation in den einzelnen Regionen sehr unterschiedlich. Mit der am 7. Januar veröffentlichten Allgemeinverfügung hätten die Krankenhäuser neue Richtwerte zur Bereitstellung von Normalbetten erhalten. «Ziel dieser Maßnahme ist es, die Versorgung im jeweiligen Versorgungsgebiet zu gewährleisten und weitere Verlegungen vermeiden zu können», hieß es.

Düsseldorf – Ungewohnter Start nach den Weihnachtsferien für 2,5 Millionen Schüler in NRW: Sie bleiben bis mindestens 31. Januar zu Hause und lernen ihren Stoff digital, ob vom Kinderzimmer oder vom Küchentisch aus.

Düsseldorf – Ungewohnter Start nach den Weihnachtsferien für 2,5 Millionen Schüler in NRW: Sie bleiben bis mindestens 31. Januar zu Hause und lernen ihren Stoff digital, ob vom Kinderzimmer oder vom Küchentisch aus.
Welche Probleme das mit sich bringt, darüber berichteten empörte Eltern auf Twitter: Demnach liefen Lernplattformen wie „Logineo“ oft nur holprig, waren unter dem Ansturm der vielen Schüler überlastet. SPD-Schulexperte Jochen Ott (46) sprach sogar davon, die Schulpolitik in NRW sei „abgestürzt“ und kritisierte, dass es noch keine Vorkehrungen für die Zeit nach dem 31. Januar gebe.
Viele Eltern meldeten sich aber auch mit Berichten zu einem reibungslosen Start zu Wort. Schulministerin Yvonne Gebauer (54, FDP) erklärte zunächst, ihr seien keine Probleme bekannt geworden. In einer Sondersitzung des Schulausschusses am Montag sagte sie aber, wo es beim Distanzunterricht noch hakt:
► Ein Videokonferenz-Tool für die Schulen sei schon lange „technisch komplett fertig“. Es könne aber noch nicht an den Start gehen, weil das mitbestimmungspflichtig sei und der Hauptpersonalrat noch nicht zugestimmt hat.
► Ein Problem ist auch das Mittagessen für Kinder aus sozial schwachen Familien, die laut Gebauer dringend darauf angewiesen sind. Sie können die Verpflegung als Lunch-Paket bekommen, müssen es dann aber in der Schule abholen – Kontaktvermeidung Fehlanzeige.
► Am 24. Januar, einen Tag vor der nächsten Runde der Ministerpräsidenten mit dem Bund, will Gebauer mit den Verbänden über weitere Schul-Baustellen reden, etwa wie im Sommer die Versetzung laufen soll, Sportunterricht in Zeiten geschlossener Turnhallen und Bäder, sowie die Zukunft der Klassenfahrten.
Fest steht für Gebauer aber auch: Dieses Schulhalbjahr werde „ordnungsgemäß abgeschlossen.“

PRINCE HARRY has "not yet attempted to contact" the Queen to arrange a meeting for the 12-month review of Megxit, a source has claimed.
|
PRINCE HARRY has "not yet attempted to contact" the Queen to arrange a meeting for the 12-month review of Megxit, a source has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex is understood to have been hoping to return to the UK for a face-to-face meeting with his grandmother. But Harry has been forced to scrap his plan due to a ban on non-essential travel amid the latest lockdown.
Royal sources told the Mirror that Harry has “not yet attempted to contact” the Queen but is expected to arrange a solution in the coming weeks.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be keen to increase the period before they cut all ties with the Royal Family.
Harry and Meghan Markle are living in a mansion in California with their young son Archie after quitting royal duties last March.
The couple has since signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify.
As part of the Megxit deal, the Queen's grandson and the ex-Suits star agreed to “continue to uphold the values of Her Majesty”.
But questions have been raised after chat show host Oprah Winfrey took to Instagram to promote instant oat milk lattes Meghan has invested in.

Rapinoe returns to US national team after nearly a year

It was quite a year for Megan Rapinoe. Her book came out, she hosted an HBO special and she got engaged to girlfriend Sue Bird.
One thing was largely missing, however: soccer.
That's changing now that Rapinoe has returned to the U.S. national team for its January training camp in Florida after sitting out most of last year.
"I actually feel really good physically and just refreshed in a lot of ways, mentally and emotionally. I´ve spent obviously a lot of time quarantining at home with Sue and just being able to relax," Rapinoe said Tuesday on a conference call with reporters. "But I´m obviously so excited to start playing again. It was really difficult to not be out on the field with my teammates and to not have a consistent training environment. Anyone who really knows me knows I hate to work out on my own as it is."
When the coronavirus began to take hold in the United States last March and the National Women's Soccer League called off its season, Rapinoe - who plays for OL Reign - hunkered down at home.
She opted out of the NWSL's Challenge Cup tournament in a bubble in Utah last summer and the league's fall series. She also opted out of the national team's October camp.
She said part of her reasoning for the break was fear of COVID-19, but she was also exhausted from the whirlwind that came after the U.S. victory in the World Cup in France. Rapinoe earned FIFA Best Player and Ballon d'Or honors following her play in soccer's premier tournament.
The last time Rapinoe played for the national team was on March 11, when she scored in a 3-1 SheBelieves Cup victory over Japan.
The game was notable because the national team players, embroiled in a contentious discrimination lawsuit over equal pay with U.S. Soccer, wore warmup jerseys inside out in protest of the federation's controversial tactics in defending the suit. That ultimately led to the resignation of U.S. Soccer President Carlos Cordeiro.
The national team settled its dispute with the federation over unequal working conditions in December, leaving the pay dispute still unresolved.
Throughout her career, Rapinoe has been a vocal advocate for equal pay and other social justice issues, including LGBTQ rights. She sparred with President Donald Trump via Twitter during the World Cup and last year was involved in get-out-the-vote initiatives in support of President-elect Joe Biden.
She called last week's riot at the U.S. Capitol "very unsettling and scary."
"I think the courage of the lawmakers to get back in there and continue their work, and the utter bottomlessness of some of these lawmakers to continue to incite violence and still call for overturning the election when the mandate´s been given by the United States and by the people of United States, is just absolutely insane," she said. "They should be held accountable."
Rapinoe got emotional when she was asked about how she felt watching fellow NWSL players kneel and speak out against systemic racism during the Challenge Cup. In 2016, Rapinoe knelt in solidarity with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick. U.S. Soccer reacted by prohibiting players from kneeling during the anthem, a rule that was rescinded last June.
"I have just a huge amount of pride and respect for so many people going through the journey and learning and growing, and feeling more comfortable speaking out about things," she said. "What we saw through the summer and just through the pandemic, with the protests, hopefully a lot of people´s eyes are opened up, particularly my fellow white teammates."
She praised U.S. Soccer for apologizing over the ban.
Rapinoe, 35, has scored 52 goals with 68 assists in 168 appearances with the national team since her first call-up in 2006. She scored on a penalty kick in the United States' victory over the Netherlands in the 2019 World Cup final.
During her break this summer, she hosted the HBO special "Seeing America," which included U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and she released a memoir, "One Life." In October, she and WNBA veteran Sue Bird announced their engagement.
Coach Vlatko Andonovski said Rapinoe has not disregarded her fitness during the layoff. He expects Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd, who hasn't played since last spring because of injury, to get minutes in a pair of exhibition games against Colombia later this month in Orlando.
"Megan and Carli have been doing a tremendous, tremendous job. Our high performance department, high performance coach, has been monitoring everything that they´re doing," Andonovski said. "We have a pretty good idea of where they stand. In fact, both of them are a little bit ahead of what we expected them to be in January camp from the physical standpoint."

Kelberg (dpa/lrs) - Ein tot aufgefundener Quad-Fahrer im Landkreis Vulkaneifel ist mutmaßlich aufgrund einer körperlichen Ursache gestorben. Wie ein Sprecher der Polizei am Mittwochmorgen sagte, ergab die Spurenlage in dem Wald Ort keine Hinweise auf einen Unfall oder die Einwirkung Dritter. Die Polizei geht laut Sprecher mittlerweile von einem «internistischen Todesfall» aus. Zunächst hatte die Polizei einen Verkehrsunfall vermutet.
Eine Spaziergängerin hatte den 62-Jährigen am Dienstagabend neben seinem Geländefahrzeug auf einem schneebedeckten Waldweg entdeckt. Der Mann war dem Polizeisprecher zufolge vermisst gemeldet worden.
Auf Anordnung der Staatsanwaltschaft Trier war ein Gutachter für die Unfallrekonstruktion herangezogen worden. Die Staatsanwaltschaft sollte entscheiden, ob eine Obduktion angeordnet wird.

Beyond the oil wells, Syrians rummage in trash to survive

Plastic bottles, aluminium cans, clothes, sometimes spaghetti. When a tractor tows in fresh rubbish at a dump in northeast Syria, men, women and children rush to find the best pickings.
On the dry plains outside the city of Al-Malikiyah, a dozen people wrapped up against the cold rip open the black plastic bags, in a desperate search for something to sell, repurpose or even eat.
Across the road, an oil pump swings back and forth in this resource-rich region controlled by US-backed Kurdish forces.
An armoured vehicle flying the American stars and stripes drives by on the asphalt.
At the dump, a woman in a scarf and light blue woolly hat hacks away at a pile of fuming burnt rubbish.
Another stuffs some flat bread into a bag hanging around her waist. A gloved hand reaches for the remainder of a packet of spaghetti.
Someone finds a pair of small black boots, while a child smiles, holding out a pair of jeans.
A girl sifts through the refuse with a metal pick, finding some soft drink cans she carries away in a bag slung over her shoulder.
Umm Mustafa, a mother in her forties, says she often comes to the site in search of something to help sustain her family.
"Sometimes we find oranges that are still edible or apples people have thrown away," she said, her hands coarse and blackened by the hard work.
- 'No other option' -
"We take them to eat, because everything is expensive."
Almost 10 years of war in Syria have ravaged the economy and sent the value of the Syrian pound plummeting.
Food prices have tripled across the country since November 2019, the UN food assistance agency says.
In the Kurdish-held northeast, already in 2019 more than 60 percent of people suffered from food insecurity, according to the World Food Programme.
Umm Mustafa said her five girls, the eldest 17, often worked with her while her husband, a shepherd, looked after their small herd.
"Because of the crisis and the price hikes, we're struggling to get by," said the mother, whose family was displaced from their village three years ago by fighting between Kurdish fighters and the Islamic State group.
The best days are when the truck brings in food from restaurants, she said.
"Some of it is clean," she said.
Other times, "we rummage through hospital waste despite the danger," Umm Mustafa added.
"But we have to, because there is no other option."

CORONAVIRUS jabs will not be administered on Sundays in the UK, according to leaked documents, which cast doubt on whether Boris Johnson's pledge to get 13million Britons vaccinated within weeks is achievable.
|
CORONAVIRUS jabs will not be administered on Sundays in the UK, according to leaked documents, which cast doubt on whether Boris Johnson's pledge to get 13million Britons vaccinated within weeks is achievable.
Leaked documents seen by the Telegraph showed Public Health England (PHE) officials will not carry out vaccinations one day a week. The memo, sent to NHS Trusts, explained officials will not be dispensing jabs on Sundays or after “cut-off points” during lunchtime.
It also shows that high street chemists are keen on giving more than a million doses of the Oxford jab every week, but the Government has rejected their request.
The document allegedly reads: "An emergency delivery schedule is not available.
“Orders after cut-off will be processed the next day."
This is despite the Prime Minister’s promise to use "every second" to place an "invisible shield" around elderly and vulnerable patients.
Speaking at Downing Street, Mr Johnson said: "I believe that when everybody looks at the position, people understand overwhelmingly that we have no choice.
"When the Office of National Statistics (ONS) is telling us that more than 2 percent of the population is now infected – that’s over one million people in England.
"And when today we have reported another 60,000 new cases, and when the number of patients in hospitals in England is now 40 percent higher than at the first peak in April.
"I think obviously everybody – you all – want to be sure that we in Government are now using every second of this lockdown to put that invisible shield around the elderly and the vulnerable in the form of vaccination and so to begin to bring this crisis to an end."
If the Prime Minister’s inoculation goal is met, this means all people over 70 will be vaccinated by the middle of February.
Mr Johnson explained that meeting such aim will lead to the easing of some of the stringent lockdown measures.
He said: "If we succeed in vaccinating all those groups, we will have removed huge numbers of people from the path of the virus. And of course that will eventually enable us to lift many of the restrictions we've endured for so long."
Hospitality leaders have offered to help with the inoculation programme by lending their empty venues as vaccination hubs.

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) - Michael Keane maintained Everton´s Champions League challenge with the winning goal in a 2-1 victory at Wolverhampton in the Premier League on Tuesday.
The central defender´s 77th-minute header at the far post lifted Everton back into the top four, four points behind new leader Manchester United.
Ruben Neves' volley in the 14th minute canceled out Alex Iwobi´s first league goal for 17 months, in the sixth minute, in a lively start to the match at Molineux.
Neves hit the bar from a free kick with five minutes to go.
Wolves has now won just once in eight league games since striker Raul Jimenez fractured his skull in a match at Arsenal at the end of November. The team dropped to 14th place.
Last season´s 3-0 defeat at Molineux in July left the Toffees in 11th place at the time and manager Carlo Ancelotti was furious, questioning his players' spirit in what he described as an "unacceptable" display.
This time, the visitors came away back in the top four after a fifth win in six games to underline their progress.
This despite being deprived of 14-goal top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was out with a hamstring injury, and fellow forward Richarlison.

EMILY MAITLIS called out the editor of the Lockdown Sceptics blog on BBC Newsnight for his previous comments about the second wave of coronavirus which he claimed "refused to materialise".
|
EMILY MAITLIS called out the editor of the Lockdown Sceptics blog on BBC Newsnight for his previous comments about the second wave of coronavirus which he claimed "refused to materialise".
The BBC presenter challenged Toby Young, Lockdown Sceptics editor and also associate editor of the Spectator, over previous remarks he made rubbishing chances of a second spike of coronavirus cases. It comes as England entered its third national lockdown as cases have surged, with the UK recording over 60,000 daily infections yesterday.
Ms Maitlis challenged Mr Young’s comments after he said the blogs arguments were centred on the “collateral damage done by lockdowns”.
She referenced an article published by Mr Young on June 25, which said “the much ballyhooed second spike has refused to materialise” and said coronavirus “has all but disappeared”.
Ms Maitlis then added: “It’s not denying Covid per say, but it seems to be ignoring that its actually amongst us.”
Mr Young admitted “hands up I got it wrong” about the second wave of the virus striking, but added: “Let’s not forget that was during the summer when social distancing measures, curfews, were doing enormous damage to the hospitality industry”.

Mr Young and Ms Maitlis also discussed free speech in the wake of Youtube temporarily removing videos by TalkRadio which discussed coronavirus.
Youtube has since reversed the decision to ban the channel, after it said the broadcaster had posted material that contradicted expert advice about the coronavirus pandemic, which violates the platforms community guidelines.
The Lockdown Sceptics editor said: “It’s a completely unacceptable assault on the freedom of the press, and Youtube has in fact behaved very badly, very censoriously throughout the crisis.”
Mr Young also referenced changing guidance from the World Health Organisation and other officials as evidence “Covid orthodoxy” is problematic.
It comes as coronavirus cases continue to surge past daily records, with yesterday seeing a further 60,916 along with 830 deaths.
In total the UK has reported 2,774,479 cases of coronavirus and 76,305 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
A new strain of the virus, believed to have developed in Kent and up to 70 percent more transmissible, is responsible for the surge in infections.
December 29 also saw more than 80,000 positive coronavirus tests, which the Telegraph reported was Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s “tipping point” for stricter measures.

The third national lockdown has just been enacted as law across England, with “stay at home” restrictions implemented across the country.
Announcing the lockdown on Monday, Mr Johnson said: “our hospitals are under more pressure from Covid than at any time since the start of the pandemic.”
He then added: “The weeks ahead will be the hardest yet but I really do believe that we are entering the last phase of the struggle.
"Because with every jab that goes into our arms, we are tilting the odds against Covid and in favour of the British people.”
It also comes after Mr Johnson announced a boost to Britain’s battle against coronavirus as more than 1.3 million people have been vaccinated.
He added: “That means nearly one in four of the most vulnerable groups will have in two to three weeks a significant degree of immunity.”
The Prime Minister also added he will be delivering daily updates on the UK’s vaccine rollout from Monday next week.
When announcing the lockdown measures on Monday, the Prime Minister also shared hopes the top four priority groups will be vaccinated by mid-February.

Mystery surrounds why 'high-risk' mother 'vanished'

The mysterious disappearance of a 'high risk' mother the day before New Year's Eve has gripped thousands of Australians and baffled police.
Amy Schulkins' family reported her missing after she was last seen at a home in Caboolture South, north of Brisbane, on the night of December 30.
Queensland Police said the 36-year-old appears to have 'vanished off the face of the earth'.
The mother-of-five's disappearance has sparked a state-wide police search and has gained the attention of more than 16,000 people across the country.
Police described Ms Schulkins as a 'high risk' person, and said they had no 'starting point' to work with in their search for her.
Ms Schuklins had about $300, food and a tank of petrol with her before she disappeared.
'We have followed up every reported sighting and there's been a lot of incorrect feedback,' Sergeant Richard Curran told the Sunshine Coast Daily.
'Zero positive sightings, either not been here or someone else. It's frustrating.
'We are doing all we can but it's like she completely vanished off the face of the earth.'
Ms Schulkins' sudden disappearance has garnered an outpouring of community support from Australians who have banded together to find her.
Sixteen thousand people have joined The Search Team for Amy Schulkins Facebook group, with locals offering to pay for drones to canvass the area for traces of the missing mother.
Volunteers have already combed through bushland across Mount Hallen, Crossdale, Lowood and Atkinsons Dam - 100km west of Brisbane.
The campaign describes Ms Schulkins as a 'loving and devoted' wife and mother with the 'most infectious spirit and laugh'.
'Although the financial strain of searching for someone could never compare to the emotional one, it is a significant additional stress at a time when a family should be able to focus only on their missing loved one,' the page reads.
Ms Schulkins is believed to be travelling in a white 2001 Nissan Patrol, with 257VTN license plates.
Creators of a Go Fund Me said Ms Schulkins said they won't stop until Ms Schulkins is found.
They created the page on behalf of Ms Schulkins' partner Rebecca.
'We need all the support we can find from generous and kind hearted people just like the 6000 new friends on our search team,' the page reads.
'We won't stop until we find Amy, and we believe someone out there has seen or knows something that will help us find her.'
Sgt Curran said Queensland Police's investigation will focus on doorknocking and looking over Bribie Island beach CCTV footage.
Officers have spoken to her family and friends, who have been assisting police with their enquiries.
Ms Schulkins is caucasian, about 160cm tall and of a larger build with short spiky brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing boxers and a white singlet.
She has a large distinctive sleeve tattoo on her arm of a woman's silhouette against a sunset.
Anyone who has seen Amy or has further information about her whereabouts is urged to contact police.

Auch in Japan steigen die Infektionszahlen rasant. Allein in der Tokio gab es binnen eines Tages über 1500 Fälle. Nun wird in der Stadt der olympischen Sommerspiele erneut der Ausnahmezustand erwartet.
In Japans Hauptstadt Tokio ist die Zahl der Corona-Neuinfektionen erstmals über die Marke von 1500 Fällen gestiegen. Binnen eines Tages wurden 1591 Menschen positiv auf das Coronavirus getestet, wie die Stadtverwaltung am Mittwoch bekanntgab.
Am Donnerstag will Japans Regierungschef Yoshihide Suga über die erneute Ausrufung des Ausnahmezustands für den Großraum Tokio entscheiden. Es wird erwartet, dass er voraussichtlich einen Monat dauern wird – die Vorbereitung für die Olympischen Spiele im Sommer sollen aber fortgesetzt werden, hatte Suga zu Wochenbeginn erklärt.
Japan hatte zuletzt im April vergangenen Jahres für Tokio den Ausnahmezustand aufgerufen, der später auf das ganze Land ausgeweitet und Ende Mai wieder aufgehoben worden war. In jüngster Zeit sind die Infektionszahlen jedoch wieder stark angestiegen, vor allem im Großraum Tokio.
Eigentlich setzt Tokio auf Freiwilligkeit
Es besteht zunehmend die Sorge vor einer Überlastung des Gesundheitssystems. Suga deutete an, dass der Ausnahmezustand diesmal begrenzter und fokussierter als der erste ausfallen könnte. Einen harten Lockdown hat es in Japan zu keinem Zeitpunkt gegeben.
Vielmehr wurden Firmen wie Restaurants gebeten, früher zu schließen, und die Bürger aufgerufen, möglichst von zu Hause aus zu arbeiten. Rechtlich bindend sind die Aufforderungen der Behörden bislang nicht gewesen; Strafen bei Nichtbefolgung gibt es bisher nicht. Stattdessen setzt man auf Freiwilligkeit.
Die meisten Bürger des 127-Millionen-Landes tragen zwar Mund- und Nasenschutz. Doch waren Einkaufszonen im Vorfeld der Neujahrsfeiertage sowie Schreine zu Neujahr überfüllt. Auch benutzen viele Menschen weiter die Bahnen, andere amüsieren sich in Tokios nächtlichen Amüsiervierteln in Bars.

Fury at the shaken Capitol over the attack, security, virus

WASHINGTON (AP) - This time the fury enveloping the Capitol comes not from an insurgent mob but from within.
The anger on display is searing - Democrat against Republican; Republican against Republican; legislators of both parties against the catastrophic security failure that left top leaders of the government vulnerable to last week's violence as well as to the coronavirus in their ranks.
This is a "powder keg" moment, one Democrat said. It's certainly a historic one.
The House is moving toward making Donald Trump the first president to be impeached twice as part of an extraordinary effort to remove him from office before Democrat Joe Biden's inauguration a week from Wednesday. The charge to be brought against him: "incitement of insurrection."
Once again the phrase of the founders, "high crimes and misdemeanors," has been turned against Trump, who was acquitted by the Senate in his first impeachment trial. And tempers are flaring in congressional hallways and offices still cleaning up from the trashing by the attackers.
Shaken members, long accustomed to protective bubbles, inquired whether they can expense their own bulletproof vests to taxpayers (yes they can). Democrats assailed a collection of always-Trumpers - Republicans who pressed the president's false accusations of a fraudulent election even after the mob, motivated by the same lies, had finally been cleared away.
Democratic Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, among others, called for the expulsion or censure of Republican members who argued Trump's case for overturning the will of the voters, if those lawmakers refuse to resign. Democrats were primarily after Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and a selection of House lawmakers who had also tried to throw up obstacles to Biden's election certification.
"They have a full blown independent reality, totally cut apart from the world of facts, and that is the groundwork for fascism," Casey said. "When you add racism, anti-Semitism, conspiracy theory and magical thinking, that is an absolute powder keg in terms of an assault on democracy."
There was Republican to Republican finger-pointing, too. Much of it was aimed at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California for not showing enough leadership, according to congressional GOP aides who spoke on condition of anonymity and former lawmakers.
Some House Republicans are upset that McCarthy, one of Trump´s staunchest defenders in Washington, defended him too forcefully and for too long, making it harder to dissociate themselves from Trump after the Capitol siege.
In contrast, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky explicitly criticized Trump´s drive to overturn Biden´s election, saying it would "damage our republic forever." He did so even as the mob breached the Capitol and lunged toward the chambers against outnumbered police.
McCarthy acknowledged outrage among his Republican colleagues over the attack in a letter to them Monday declaring "I share your anger and your pain" and making sure they knew the mob's threat also came close to him.
"Zip ties were found on staff desks in my office," he wrote. "Windows were smashed in. Property was stolen. Those images will never leave us."
As if nerves weren´t raw enough over the actions of Trump and his diehard loyalists, three of the Democrats who sheltered with Republican House members when they were all spirited to a secure room disclosed they had since tested positive for COVID-19. Some of the Republicans in that room over those hours had refused to wear masks.
Indeed, one of the newly infected, Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, said "several Republicans not only cruelly refused to wear a mask but recklessly mocked colleagues and staff who offered them one."
Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey and Brad Schneider of Illinois were the others who announced positive tests after their time in the room as everyone waited to hear whether more cases were coming.
Democrats were livid. Reps. Debbie Dingell of Michigan and Anthony Brown of Maryland introduced legislation that would impose $1,000 fines per day on any member of Congress who refused to mask on Capitol grounds.
"In the midst of a deadly assault on our United States Capitol, a number of our Republican colleagues laughed off rules designed to keep not just their colleagues safe, but to protect the lives of the teams of workers keeping things going, law enforcement, and staff throughout the Capitol," Dingell said.
On Tuesday, the House sergeant at arms office issued a statement saying all members and others going into the chamber must be screened for prohibited items, including firearms, and anyone failing to wear a mask on the House floor will be removed.
At a virtual meeting of the House rules committee, Democrats implored Republicans to stop peddling Trump's myths of a stolen election. Trump's accusations have been refuted for weeks by judges and election officials but motivated the mob and are still believed by legions of Trump supporters.
"When does service to Donald Trump end?" demanded Democratic Rep. Joe Morelle of New York. "It should be an easy one to answer."
"When the people speak, it's over," he went on. Otherwise, "we have nothing. There is no America."
There were some signs that the top Republican in the House was backing off his unwavering show of loyalty to Trump.
McCarthy had joined most House Republicans in December in supporting a lawsuit to block Biden´s election, and again last week in two votes against certifying Biden´s win. The lawsuit and both votes failed. He has so far avoided lambasting Trump publicly. But in a private conference call Monday with GOP colleagues, he expressed an openness to censuring Trump.
McCarthy "amplified the president´s disinformation about widescale election fraud," former Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who often clashed with Trump, said in an interview last week. "That has been irresponsible. Mitch doesn´t fall in that category."
"McCarthy is all in with Trump," said Paul Cook, who retired in January as a GOP congressman from California and had differences with him over the years. "I think sometimes you have the greater good of the country, it´s not always the party."
A senior congressional Republican and defender of McCarthy, who would only speak anonymously, said the GOP leader would have been criticized no matter how the congressional challenge to Biden´s electoral votes played out. The Republican also said McCarthy´s strong relationship with Trump has benefitted GOP lawmakers because it´s enabled him to talk Trump out of attacking them, especially moderate Republicans who vote against him.
But to Cook, it all comes down to the oath. "You take an oath, a lot of people kind of forget the words to that," he said.
In their oath of office, lawmakers vow to defend the Constitution "against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

BORIS Johnson has revealed that one in 50 Britons has coronavirus - but 1.3 million, including a quarter of all over 80s, have been vaccinated.
The Prime Minister sought to reassure the nation after the daily new infection rate soared past 60,000 for the first time yesterday. In his second address in two days, he revealed that around 1.12 million people are infected but that the vaccination programme will provide the path out. He also promised to publish the number of jabs given every day “so that you can see day by day and jab by jab how much progress we are making”.
And he declared he was full of “optimism and fundamental hope” that “things will be very different in the spring” – as long as there was widespread adherence to the new lockdown rules, which he announced on Monday.
Yesterday’s televised news conference from No10 Downing Street was arranged after the latest figures revealed a record 3,351 people were admitted to hospital with Covid-19 in England on Sunday.
As of 8am yesterday, the total number in hospital with the virus was 26,467, with the new variant said to be mainly behind the surge.
Meanwhile 60,916 new cases were reported yesterday – just days after the milestone of 50,000 was reached – along with 830 further deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
Defending his decision to impose a third lockdown across England, Mr Johnson said: “I believe that when everybody looks at the position, people understand overwhelmingly that we have no choice.
“We know that there will still be long weeks ahead in which we must persevere with these restrictions.” Adherence to his stay-at-home plea would mean “there really is the prospect of beginning the relaxation of some of these measures” from the middle of next month.
And, in a clear sign of progress, he said that one in four people aged over 80 in England, which is around 650,000, had been vaccinated against the killer virus and will have “a significant degree of immunity” within three weeks.
In total 1.3 million people across the UK have received a first dose of coronavirus vaccine, he added, a day after he said the aim was to get 13 million people from the four most clinically vulnerable groups vaccinated by mid-February.
“Above all, provided that everybody follows the guidance now and sticks to the measures that we have now, we think that by the middle of February when a very considerable portion of the most vulnerable groups will have been vaccinated, then there really is the prospect of beginning the relaxation of some of these measures.”
He went on to outline how 1,000 vaccination hubs would be operational by the end of this week, while venues including stadiums and exhibition centres were being considered.
MPs are due at an emergency Commons sitting this afternoon to approve the new lockdown rules. However, early yesterday Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove suggested lockdown restrictions might not start lifting until March.
He said: “I think it is right to say that, as we enter March, we should be able to lift some of these restrictions, but not necessarily all.”
Meanwhile at the news conference England’s chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty went into detail on the statistics. He explained how figures from the Office for National Statistics infection survey for England showed one in 50 people in private households had the virus in the week to January 2. The estimate, based on random swab testing, suggests two per cent of the population are infected.
The infection rate is even higher in London, with one in 30 people thought to have the virus, followed by the South-east and the East of England at one in 45. It was lowest in the South-west at one in 125.
Prof Whitty said the data showed the country was facing “a really serious emergency”.
“One in 50 is really a very large number indeed,” he added. “If we look around England, what we find is that in every area there has been a relative increase in the new variant of this virus that is spreading around the country.
Prof Whitty said deaths were still “quite a long way below the first peak”, due to better treatments, younger people being affected and a lag time between infections and deaths. However, the number would inevitably increase in the coming weeks. Meanwhile chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance said vaccines would probably need to be altered in the future to continue to be a good match for the virus – but this would be easy to do.
After the news conference, NHS Providers chief executive Chris Hopson said the number of jabs carried out so far were “a tribute to the careful planning, skills and commitment of so many NHS staff who are working flat out to deliver this extraordinary vaccination programme”.

Fulda/Willingen (dpa/lhe) - Mit Betretungsverboten, gesperrten Zufahrtsstraßen und verstärkten Kontrollen sollte am Samstag ein Massenandrang auf die hessischen Wintersportgebiete verhindert werden. Die Zufahrten zur Wasserkuppe und dem Hoherodskopf seien gesperrte, twitterte die Polizei am Samstagmorgen. Diese Sperrung sollte bis 16.00 Uhr andauern. Bereits an den vergangenen Tagen war appelliert worden, touristische Ausflugsziele angesichts der Corona-Pandemie zu vermeiden.
Im nordhessischen Wintersportort Willingen galt bereits seit Freitag ein Betretungsverbot für Skipisten und Rodelhänge. Bürgermeister Thomas Trachte hatte angekündigt, das Ordnungsamt werde mit Unterstützung der Polizei über die Einhaltung des Verbots wachen. Bei Verstößen wolle man die Besucher zunächst aufklären. Spaziergänge seien möglich, auch die Zufahrt sei offen. «Sollte sich aber wieder ein Besucheransturm ergeben, wären wir auch in der Lage, Straßen zu sperren.»
In der Region rund um den Großen Feldberg im Taunus waren ebenfalls Parkplätze und Zufahrtsstraßen gesperrt. Dabei wurde auch auf Schneebruchgefahr und umgestürzte Bäume verwiesen. Ein Besuch der Feldbergregion mache gegenwärtig keinen Sinn, hatte der Erste Kreisbeigeordnete des Hochtaunuskreises, Thorsten Schorr, am Freitag betont. Hinzu komme, dass auf den wenigen begehbaren Wegen und Hängen die Corona-Regeln aufgrund des unverminderten Besucherinteresses nur schwerlich eingehalten würden.

Johnson, Hopkins voice support for Watson amid trade rumors

HOUSTON (AP) - Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins have weighed in on reports that Deshaun Watson is unhappy and wants to be traded by the Houston Texans.
Reports from ESPN and the NFL Network surfaced last week that Watson was upset that owner Cal McNair didn´t take his opinion into consideration before hiring general manager Nick Caserio and wanted out of Houston.
Other reports indicated that Watson was further angered that the Texans hadn´t asked to interview Kansas City offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for their open coaching position. Houston has since requested to interview Bieniemy.
On Tuesday both Johnson, who is retired, and Hopkins, who Bill O´Brien traded to Arizona in March, expressed their views on the situation on Twitter.
Johnson, who was drafted in the franchise´s second year and had 13,597 yards receiving in 12 seasons in Houston, voiced support for Watson and criticized Jack Easterby, the team´s executive vice president of football operations. Johnson is the only player in Houston's Ring of Honor and worked as a special adviser to the team before stepping away from that role before this season.
"If I´m @deshaunwatson I will stand my ground," Johnson tweeted. "The Texans organization is known for wasting players (sic) careers. Since Jack Easterby has walk (sic) into the building nothing good has happened in/for the organization and for some reason someone can´t seem to see what´s going on. Pathetic!!!"
Not long after Johnson´s tweet, Hopkins, who spent seven seasons in Houston, retweeted it and added: "When Dre speak listen."
Easterby was brought in by O´Brien and some have questioned the amount of power the former chaplain for the Patriots has acquired since O´Brien´s firing. O´Brien served as the team´s coach and general manager before being fired after Houston´s 0-4 start this season. He was widely criticized for trading Hopkins, who has been one of the league´s most consistent receivers for years, for running back David Johnson and draft picks.
Watson was selected to his third straight Pro Bowl this season and set franchise records by throwing for an NFL-leading 4,823 yards with 33 touchdowns. His play was one of the few bright spots in a season where the Texans sunk to 4-12 after winning the AFC South the previous two seasons.
Watson hasn´t spoken publicly about his future, but called for a "whole culture shift" in the organization the day after the season ended and said the team needed discipline.
The 12th overall pick in the 2017 draft, Watson signed a four-year, $156 million contract extension before this season.

Hamburg – Die Elbphilharmonie nutzt den Lockdown für einen großen Neujahrsputz. Gestern wurde die Orgel des Konzerthauses gereinigt.
„Wir zerlegen quasi das komplette Instrument und bauen es dann wieder zusammen“, sagt der Bonner Orgelbauer Philipp Klais.
Denn: Jede der 4765 Pfeifen muss herausgenommen und geputzt werden. Die kürzeste aus Zinn misst elf Millimeter, die längste aus Holz zehn Meter.
Seit dem 4. Januar ist ein fünfköpfiges Team bereits vor Ort. In einer Woche sollen die Pfeifen dann wieder eingebaut werden.
Spätestens bis zum 27. Januar wollen die Orgelbauer fertig sein.

Lebanon notified of probe into central bank chief: source

The Lebanese judiciary has received a request for assistance from Switzerland over an investigation into money transfers allegedly made by central bank chef Riad Salameh, a judicial source told AFP.
The investigation is looking into $400 million allegedly transferred out of Lebanon, despite tight restrictions, by Salameh, his brother, his assistant and financial institutions linked to the central bank, the source said.
Salameh's office issued a statement denying the allegations, which were first carried by Lebanon's Al-Akhbar newspaper.
"All claims of alleged money transfers abroad, whether made under his (Salameh's) name, or the name of his brother, or assistant, are fabrications and fake news," it said.
There was no immediate response from the Swiss authorities.
According to the judicial source, judge Ghassan Oueidat received the request "directly from the Swiss embassy in Beirut".
The request did not include documents or evidence proving allegations but listed questions the judiciary should ask Salameh and others linked to the case, according to the source.
"The letter was sent to the judiciary in an unusual way, outside regular diplomatic channels," the judicial source added.
The investigation was first reported on Tuesday by Al-Akhbar, a staunch critic of the long-time central bank governor.
According to the daily, the probe is part of a wider effort spearheaded by France, Britain and the United States to investigate shady dealings by Lebanese officials, including Salameh.
It comes as Lebanon grapples with its worst economic crisis since the 1975-1990 civil war.
The Lebanese pound has lost more than 80 percent of its value against the dollar on the black market and banks have halted dollar transactions to shore up dwindling foreign currency reserves.
Salameh and the country's elite have been widely accused of stashing their dollars in foreign accounts to evade capital controls.
This has sparked calls abroad and at home for efforts to return deposits to Lebanon, which is in desperate need of foreign currency.
Salameh has pledged to investigate money transfers that took place since the country introduced banking restrictions.
Last year, he said in an interview with the France 24 news channel that $1 billion had been stashed abroad.
Lebanon in 2020 said it filed a request to Geneva to help track funds transferred to Swiss accounts.
But Swiss authorities have not complied with the request, the judicial source said.

Former Australia national soccer coach Frank Arok dies at 88

Former Australia coach Frank Arok has died in Serbia due to an undisclosed illness, Football Australia said. He was 88.
Arok migrated to Australia from Yugoslavia in the late 1960s and became head coach of the Socceroos in 1983, having previously coached a National Soccer League team.
He held that position for seven years and coached the national team in 89 matches with 41 victories and 22 draws. Australia did not qualify for the World Cup during his coaching tenure.
Arok re-entered the Australian club coaching scene after his national team duties ended, taking charge of a number of teams. He led Marconi to the National Soccer League grand final in 1993 and coached 429 NSL matches overall, the second-most of any coach behind Zoran Matic.
Former Australia and Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer said on Twitter: "Very sad to hear about the passing of Frank Arok. Your knowledge, passion and dedication of the game was infectious. The 2 years I had the privilege to work with you . . . were some of my most enjoyable times in football."
Arok was also an inaugural inductee into Football Australia´s Hall of Fame in 1999. He returned to Serbia in 2003 when he retired.
Football Australia said Arok is survived by his daughter, Marijana Novakovic, and granddaughter Gordana, who was named after Arok´s late wife.

In Landkreisen mit einer Inzidenz über 200 Neuinfektionen dürfen sich Bürger nur noch in einem 15-Kilometer-Radius bewegen. Rainer Wendt, Bundesvorsitzende der Polizeigewerkschaft, sieht seine Beamten bereits am Limit. Alle News im Liveticker.
Die neuen Einschränkungen der Bewegungsfreiheit in der Corona-Krise sind nach Einschätzung der Deutschen Polizeigewerkschaft allenfalls stichpunktartig kontrollierbar. „Die Polizei kann nur schwerpunktmäßig kontrollieren, nicht flächendeckend“, sagte der Bundesvorsitzende Rainer Wendt der Deutschen Presse-Agentur in Berlin. Die Menschen hielten sich bereits an viele Regeln. „Aber damit das funktioniert, braucht es auch abschreckende Bußgelder.“
Bund und Länder hatten am Dienstag vereinbart, dass Menschen in Landkreisen, in denen binnen sieben Tagen mehr als 200 Neuinfektionen pro 100.000 Einwohner gemeldet wurden, sich ohne triftigen Grund nicht mehr als 15 Kilometer von ihrem Wohnort entfernen dürfen. „Tagestouristische Ausflüge stellen explizit keinen triftigen Grund dar.“
Die Dichte der Corona-Kontrollen könne nicht mehr erhöht werden, sagte Wendt – zumal die Polizei hier bereits einen Schwerpunkt setze. „Mit der Zunahme von Regelungen nimmt die Kontrolldichte ab, weil die Polizei nicht beliebig vermehrbar ist.“ Es sei illusorisch zu glauben, dass die Polizei einzelne Städte oder Landkreise auf längere Zeit abriegeln könne. Die Beschränkungen der Bewegungsfreiheit nannte er eine „sehr, sehr freiheitsbeschränkende Maßnahme“.
Der stellvertretende Bundesvorsitzende der Gewerkschaft der Polizei (GdP), Jörg Radek, sagte: „Für uns werden das ganz normale Verkehrskontrollen sein.“ Es sei gut, dass die Politik deutlich mache, dass Tagesausflüge kein triftiger Reisegrund seien. Mit Blick auf den jüngsten Besucherandrang in deutschen Skigebieten sagte er: „Wenn man sieht, dass Appelle nicht ausreichen, dann muss die Politik reagieren. Das ist die logische Folge, und das erwarten die Menschen, die sich vorsichtig verhalten, auch.“

Fabinho: Resurgent United not Liverpool's only title rival

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) - Liverpool midfielder Fabinho believes new Premier League leader Manchester United is just one of four potential title rivals this season.
United climbed above Liverpool, its fiercest rival, into first place by beating Burnley 1-0 on Tuesday and looks set to challenge for the title for the first time since the retirement of long-time manager Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Liverpool has a chance to return to the summit when the champions take on United at Anfield on Sunday, but Fabinho said his team cannot be consumed solely with outlasting Ole Gunnar Solskjaer´s resurgent side.
"They are definitely confident and enjoying a good momentum in the league," Fabinho said in a video interview from his home in Liverpool on Tuesday, before United´s win over Burnley. "They are winning some games that perhaps they weren´t last season, such as against Wolverhampton (1-0 last month).
"However, our focus isn´t exclusively on Manchester United. The main thing is trying to play our football and winning games."
Fabinho sees Manchester City, also in good form in recent months, as another title candidate and isn´t ruling out a charge by London teams Chelsea and Jose Mourinho´s Tottenham.
"(City) are very well trained and have been doing excellent seasons in the last three Premier League campaigns, so City are one of the contenders," Fabinho said. "United are another one (and) I have said before that Tottenham and Chelsea are strong and want to go all the way.
"Perhaps Chelsea are going through some ups and down recently, but they are still a strong side. And we know that Tottenham, because of their manager and squad, are in the fight as well."
Liverpool´s rivalry with United will get added spice in the coming weeks, with a heavyweight meeting in the fourth round of the FA Cup at Old Trafford coming a week after their league match.
"Playing against Manchester United is always a big opportunity, it´s a derby," Fabinho said. "I think the fans are excited to have the chance to watch two big games in a short period.
"We are keen to improve our results in the FA Cup in comparison to the previous seasons. So we must be fully focused, it´s the only way to beat such a strong rival."
Liverpool, which ended a 30-year wait for a league title last season, hasn´t won any of its last three league games - its last top-flight outing was a 1-0 loss at Southampton - and Fabinho acknowledged this season has been a struggle amid the pandemic.
"This current season we are seeing many big teams losing points that they normally don´t lose," he said. "Perhaps the short preseason affected in the beginning, perhaps playing behind closed doors has an influence too."
Some have questioned whether the league should continue with the new variant of COVID-19 causing surge in cases, both in football and wider society.
"Recently, before these last weeks when the number of cases has increased, the situation was kind of normalized in the training ground. We are being tested for the COVID very often. So we were doing things, like using the restaurant, more or less as normal," Fabinho said. "But now with these new cases, we have more restrictions, so the restaurant can´t be used and the club is taking the appropriate precautions.
"They are delimiting some paths we must follow at the training ground, sometimes you need to walk around to reach a place beside you. Away from the club they ask us to use masks and gloves, they gave this material. The club is aware it´s difficult to just stop doing everything, like shopping. But they do everything possible to help us."
Fabinho sees no reason to be concerned about Liverpool losing star forward Mohamed Salah, who said in a rare interview - given to Spanish newspaper AS last month - that "everything´s in the club´s hands" when asked about a potential move to Barcelona or Real Madrid.
"Big players will always have their names involved in rumors," Fabinho said. "Salah plays (for) Liverpool, one of the biggest teams in the world. So I think it´s normal to see his name linked to other teams, especially from different leagues.
"Anyway, I see him very happy here and pleased with his performances this season. He´s very demanding with himself, he wants to be the best, he wants to help the team and works hard for it. It´s always been the case and it hasn´t changed at all. He keeps scoring goals, which everyone is used to seeing. In the changing room he´s always talking to everyone and making jokes. I don´t see anything affecting him."

Domestic Violence Bill: Throttled by hubby while pregnant - why we need tougher law

A WOMAN who feared she was going to die when her husband throttled her has called for non-fatal strangulation to become a criminal offence.

A WOMAN who feared she was going to die when her husband throttled her has called for non-fatal strangulation to become a criminal offence.
Rachel Williams was seven months pregnant when Darren Williams grabbed her by the throat and lifted her off the ground. Now a campaigner, she has called for the amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill to be enshrined into law. The Bill, which was debated in the House of Lords yesterday, is meant to offer better support for victims.
It also seeks to prohibit cross-examination in family proceedings in certain circumstances, along with tackling offences involving other abusive behaviour.
The Bill also seeks for a Domestic Abuse Commissioner to be appointed.
Sweeping changes have already been made to offer domestic abuse victims extra protection within the Family Court, in the wake of the Daily Express’s End This Injustice crusade.
Rachel, 49, survived being shot by her late husband as she worked in a hair salon in Newport, South Wales, after 18 years of domestic abuse.
She said it is vital that the Government acts now over non-fatal strangulation.
The amendment to the Bill is also being championed by Baroness Newlove, the former Victims’ Commissioner.
Rachel said: “Time is of the essence. A non-fatal strangulation offence strengthens the Bill and sends out a real message to the perpetrators of abuse.
“It’s one of the acts they use really for power and control. Not only will it save lives but it gives that message to victims and survivors.
“I have spoken to hundreds of thousands of victims over the years and not one of them said they did not have their perpetrator put their hands around their necks, and mine used to.
“Your risk of homicide goes up seven times and the risk of stroke for people under 40 goes up by 40 per cent. One woman said that her mum lost her voice for a month after being strangled.
“They are getting charged with common assault, which is the same as a slap.
“It’s purely about power and control. When it happened to me, I thought it was the end. It happened so quickly. My lips turned blue. I couldn’t believe he had done this and I was carrying his child.”
Actor Michael Sheen and Countdown presenter Rachel Riley have been also backed the campaign.
In the Lords, Baroness Newlove said: “This Bill will provide much-needed support to domestic abuse victims and will contribute to a change in making domestic abuse unacceptable.”
She called for non-fatal strangulation to be made a stand-alone offence, adding: “It would be an unforgiveable missed opportunity if this Bill does not address this issue.”
She was backed by other peers including Tory Baroness Bertin, who said: “Non-fatal strangulation is a red flag to murder.”

Avec le premier, il mate ses voisins et découvre que l’un d’eux est peut-être l’assassin de son épouse ; avec la seconde, il dispose d’une aide précieuse pour mener l’enquête à sa place.
Chef-d’œuvre de l’immobilité dans un décor quasi unique, Fenêtre sur cour déjoue tous les clichés du film d’action en immobilisant son héros et en inversant les attributs liés au genre. Passif (et un peu ridicule) dans son pyjama bleu, Jeffrey est contraint de déléguer à sa fiancée blonde et manucurée les situations les plus périlleuses. Cette dernière déconstruit à son tour les clichés sur les femmes soi-disant trop sophistiquées pour être téméraires. D’abord réticente et peureuse, Lisa se révèle une enquêtrice têtue et courageuse sous les yeux de son compagnon.
Voyeur et impuissant, L.B. Jeffrey nous entraîne alors dans son vice. Nous n’avons d’yeux que pour ce qu’il voit et notamment Grace Kelly, détective manipulée et faussement soumise qui conserve toutefois dans sa valisette un vaporeux déshabillé de soie. Philippe Ridet
« Le Grand Couteau » (1955) : Hollywood salement amoché
Première charge de Robert Aldrich contre Hollywood et son système véreux – avant qu’il ne récidive avec Qu’est-il arrivé à Baby Jane (1963) et Le Démon des femmes (1968) – Le Grand Couteau tient entre les quatre murs d’une riche villa. Prison dorée où, durant près de deux heures, vont se tenir d’âpres négociations entre un directeur de studio, Stanley Shriner Hoff (Rod Steiger ) et l’un de ses acteurs vedettes, Charles Castle (Jack Palance).
Le premier exige du second qu’il signe un nouveau contrat de sept ans, ce à quoi celui-ci se refuse, encouragé par son épouse Marion (Ida Lupino), qui rêve d’une autre vie, loin des faux-semblants et magouilles du milieu. Mais elle ignore qu’à cause d’une sale affaire, son mari a pieds et mains liés avec son producteur. Lequel n’hésite pas à exercer son chantage.

Vor etwas mehr als einem Jahr ging Schauspielerin und Moderatorin Sophia Thomalla unter die Start-up-Geldgeberinnen. Nun steht sie in der Kritik, weil sie für das Krypto-Projekt eines Gründers mit dubioser Vergangenheit wirbt.

Vor etwas mehr als einem Jahr ging Schauspielerin und Moderatorin Sophia Thomalla unter die Start-up-Geldgeberinnen. Nun steht sie in der Kritik, weil sie für das Krypto-Projekt eines Gründers mit dubioser Vergangenheit wirbt.
Seit Ende 2019 ist Sophia Thomalla auch Start-up-Investorin. Die Schauspielerin und Moderatorin steckte einen hohen sechsstelligen Betrag in das Gütersloher Unternehmen Schüttflix, eine digitale Handelsplattform für Baustoffe wie Kies und Schotter.
„Ich finde, die Baubranche passt sehr gut zu mir. Sie ist sehr deutsch, sie ist sehr bodenständig“, sagte Thomalla dazu im „Gründerszene“-Interview. Sie habe nicht nur das Werbegesicht von Schüttflix sein wollen, wofür die Gründer sie ursprünglich angefragt hatten, sondern lieber gleich auch Gesellschafterin.
Nun wirbt Thomalla – diesmal ohne Investment – für eine weitere Digitalfirma, die jedoch nicht gerade bodenständig erscheint, sondern vom „Handelsblatt“ (€) als „dubioses Blockchain-Projekt“ betitelt wird: G999 gehört demnach zur Hamburger Gold Standard Banking Cooperation AG (GSB) des Unternehmers Josip Heit, der in der Krypto-Szene kein Unbekannter ist.
Ende 2019 ordnete die Finanzaufsicht laut „Handelsblatt“ die Rückabwicklung seiner virtuellen Währung „Karatgold“ an, mit der Anleger Millionen verloren haben sollen. Das Digitalgeld sollte durch Goldreserven abgesichert sein, die Staatsanwaltschaft in Koblenz bezweifelt jedoch, dass diese jemals existierten.
Kritik an Sophia Thomalla in sozialen Medien
G999 solle nun auf Blockchain-Basis ein „einzigartiges elektronisches System, Kartenlesegerät und App“ bieten, „welches für Telekommunikation und Messenger … schnelle Zahlungen, Mikrogebühren und eine Vielzahl weiterer Optionen ermöglicht“, zitiert das „Handelsblatt“ Josip Heit. Branchenportale wie Blockchainwelt sehen jedoch „Grund genug, die Glaubwürdigkeit des gesamten Projekts infrage zu stellen“.
Auch in sozialen Medien gab es viel Kritik am Werbespot mit dem goldenen Hammer, in dem Thomalla auftritt. „Die digitale Währung ist meines Erachtens nicht aufzuhalten“, schreibt Thomalla auf Instagram über die Krypto-Kampagne. „Ich weiß, dass sie früher oder später kommen wird. Die Technologie und die Möglichkeiten dahinter sind einfach wahnsinnig beeindruckend.“
Ob die Schauspielerin die Vorgeschichte von Heit kannte, als sie zustimmte, für sein Projekt zu werben, ist unklar. Dem „Handelsblatt“ ließ sie lediglich über ihren Anwalt mitteilen, sie werde sich nicht zu Sachverhalten äußern, „von denen sie keinerlei Kenntnis hat und in die sie weder involviert war noch ist“.

韓国の検察は変われるか

「権力の大きさでいえば、大統領が最も大きいが、直接選挙で選ばれるのでせいぜい任期は五年だ。わが国の検察には捜査権も起訴権もある。制限のない権力を持ちながら、永遠に続く組織だ」
十年前に韓国で出版された「検察共和国、大韓民国」という本に、こんな記述がある。
韓国で長い間懸案になっていた検察改革が、姿を見せ始めた。検察から、政府高官らの不正を捜査する権限を独立させた新しい捜査機関「高位公職者犯罪捜査庁」が、近く発足する見通しとなったのだ。
韓国の検察は、批判の対象になってきた。強大な権限を持ち、時々の政権に接近して、過剰なまでの捜査を行うからだ。
文在寅（ムンジェイン）大統領も、検察改革を重要公約に掲げて当選した。この背景には、自分が仕えた盧武鉉（ノムヒョン）元大統領の悲劇的な最期がある。検察の改革に着手しながら、自分の親族に対する検察の捜査が迫り、自殺に追い込まれた。
韓国で検察や検事は、映画やドラマなどの格好の材料だ。法律で武装した権力亡者のような姿で描かれる。羨望（せんぼう）と嫌悪が入り交じる存在だ。最近では、検察トップと法相の激しい争いが起き、国民の関心が集中した。
捜査庁は、日本の地検特捜部の在り方も参考にしている。政権と距離を置き、権力中枢に切り込めるのか。やや強引に進められている改革の成果が気になる。 （五味洋治）

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Police said a man armed with an axe smashed the glass doors that form the main entrance to New Zealand's Parliament early on Wednesday but did not attempt to enter the building.
Police said they were called to the complex in the capital, Wellington, at 5:25 a.m. after getting reports that a man had been seen with an axe. They said that 10 minutes later, they arrested a 31-year-old man without incident.
New Zealand's 120 lawmakers are currently on a summer break, and there were few people in the building at the time.
The man has been charged with intentional damage and possession of an offensive weapon. If found guilty, he could face up to seven years in prison.

Der Schnee in den Bergen lockt trotz aller Corona-Warnungen viele Ausflügler an. Ähnliche Besuchermassen wie am vergangenen Wochenende soll es aber nicht geben. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, gehen die Wintersportregionen unterschiedlich vor.
Torfhaus/Springe (dpa/lni) - Trotz zahlreicher Appelle zieht das weiße Winterwetter erneut viele Ausflügler in Deister, Harz und Solling - laut den Polizeibehörden waren am Samstag zunächst aber weniger Menschen unterwegs als etwa noch am vorherigen Wochenende. «Es füllt sich so langsam», sagte ein Sprecher der Polizeiinspektion Goslar. «Aber augenscheinlich verteilen sich die Menschen wohl besser im Harz.» Wegen möglicher Überfüllung und des Ansteckungsrisikos in der Corona-Pandemie hatten die Behörden eigentlich von Ausflügen in den winterlichen Harz abgeraten.
Die Parkplätze etwa in Torfhaus (Kreis Goslar) waren bereits am Samstagmorgen wieder frequentiert. Zu Staus oder Straßensperrungen sei es bislang aber nicht gekommen, so der Sprecher. Die Polizei Hannover meldete, dass sich vor allem in Springe Parkplätze rund um den Deister füllten. Polizei und Ordnungskräfte waren mit zahlreichen Einsatzkräften an den Ausflugszielen im Einsatz und zeigten Präsenz.
Nachdem bereits am vergangenen Wochenende und unter der Woche viele Ausflügler etwa in den Harz strömten, appellierten Kommunen, Polizei und Harzer Tourismusverband auf erneute Ausflüge zu verzichten. Verboten sind Spaziergänge im Schnee zwar nicht, allerdings müssen die Corona-Regeln eingehalten werden. Der Landkreis Goslar hat den Verleih von Wintersportgeräten an Wochenenden verboten. Der Landkreis Holzminden verbot vorübergehend das Betreten vieler Rodelwiesen im Solling.

BRITONS have been urged to brace for a bitterly freezing fog set to hit the country overnight, bringing temperatures to -6C for many, BBC Weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood has warned.
The country is expected to wake up to a cloud of freezing fog on Thursday morning, with temperatures set to reach as low as -6C in some parts of the UK. BBC Weather forecaster Carol Kirkwood warned the fog will come ahead of a new weather front that is set to bring more snow. She said: "There is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. It will be cold and frosty. We will have some freezing fog, particularly around the borders, north-west England down towards the Midlands. Some mist and fog patches forming elsewhere.
"This fog will be slow to clear tomorrow. Some of it could linger for much of the day.
"Tomorrow, still a lot of dry weather around.
"We have got a weather front slipping slowly southwards.
"Still with some snow in it. Behind it, further wintry showers across the far north-west of Scotland.
"These are our temperatures. If you're are stuck under the fog, you will find it will suppress the temperatures.
"For some, you will hardly break freezing."
READ MORE: Beast from the East could hit UK in weeks
The current cold spell is expected to last into next week, and could be trumped by even worse to come.
A new freezing "Beast from the East" weather front is on its way as temperatures plunged to an icy -8C (18F) on Monday.
The last Siberian weather front to earn that nickname hit in 2018 when snow blanketed large areas and temperatures fell to -14C. Now the Met Office is tracking two weather events “fighting for influence over the UK”, which could see temperatures plunge in coming weeks.
Earlier this week, parts of the country woke to below freezing temperatures with Loch Glascarnoch in the Highlands at -8C.
But more is yet to come, with meteorologists observing Sudden Stratospheric Warming, normally associated with a big freeze.
It is the phenomenon that brought the 2018 Beast from the East. Experts are also tracking La Niña, dragging fiercely wet and stormy weather. Met Office spokeswoman Nicola Maxey said: “You’ve got the two events happening at the same time so they vie against each other in a sense. They’re fighting for influence over the UK.”
In 2018, Public Health England put out a Level 3 cold-weather alert, one step below a national emergency as major services were disrupted.
Last winter was relatively mild but experts warn this year we might not be so lucky.
John Hammond, of the website Weathertrending, said: “There are signs this winter will be quite different. Of course, some places have already had snow, and much of early December stayed quite cold.”
The notorious Beast from the East occurs when rapid warming happens up to 30 miles above the Earth’s surface.
Mr Hammond added: “That caused a Polar Vortex to go into reverse, delivering bitter winds from Siberia, in place of our more usual mild Atlantic winds.”
He added ominously: “There are signs the stratosphere is beginning to ‘misbehave’ again this winter. That may have unpredictable and extreme impacts on our weather later on this winter. With this would come the chance of severe snowfall and extreme cold.”

Ms Maxey added that the warming in the stratosphere takes at least 10 days to move down.
The forecaster continued: “The feeling at the moment is that we may see some colder weather towards the end of January into February.”
Meanwhile, temperatures are expected to remain below average with rain, sleet and snow expected in parts.
Ms Maxey said: “This cold spell will last into next week. By the time we get to Friday, we’re starting to see the chance that things might warm up a bit.
“But we’re still looking at 3C or 4C for London, with isolated areas perhaps seeing 6C.”

Même avec « Evermore » et « Folklore », deux albums plus introspectifs, la chanteuse américaine, reine de la pop « mainstream », domine toujours les ventes aux Etats-Unis.
|
Même avec « Evermore » et « Folklore », deux albums plus introspectifs, la chanteuse américaine, reine de la pop « mainstream », domine toujours les ventes aux Etats-Unis.
En voilà une dont le confinement aura changé l’identité musicale. Et accéléré la productivité. On avait laissé Taylor Swift à l’été 2019 en reine de la pop mainstream (dominante et attrape-tout) avec Lover, son septième album studio, le mieux vendu dans le monde cette année-là. Un conglomérat combinant nostalgie des synthés glacés des années 1980, bluettes vaporeuses et joyeusetés acidulées, le tout traité avec la palette rythmique et machinique des sons dits « urbains ».
On retrouve la chanteuse américaine toujours en position de force en 2021 avec deux albums dans le Top 10 des meilleures ventes aux Etats-Unis, Evermore et Folklore, publiés en à peine cinq mois d’intervalle.
Mais c’est peu dire que la pandémie et son corollaire, l’isolement, ont impacté les chansons de la superstar des années 2010. Plus de pochettes colorées et glamour affichant robes légères et blondeur éclatante.
Celle de Folklore, en noir et blanc, la montre au loin en tartan d’hiver, humant l’air frais en disciple du Walden ou la Vie dans les bois, de Thoreau. Même type de paysage avec Evermore pour un portrait de dos, natte posée sur un autre manteau qui semblerait rustique s’il n’était l’œuvre de Stella McCartney. A près de 3 000 dollars, ce n’est pas tout à fait le Coat of Many Colors jadis chanté par Dolly Parton – idole de Taylor Swift –, ce patchwork de tissus confectionné par la mère de l’icône country et raillé à l’école.
« L’album de la maturité »
Le tour est néanmoins joué pour illustrer le passage des stades bondés de la tournée barnum Reputation en 2018, au repli dans la cabane en rondins. Pour Swift, c’est Lilliput après Brobdingnag. Comme d’autres, elle a dû renoncer à présenter en 2020 sa nouvelle tournée, Lover Fest, aujourd’hui obsolète puisque deux autres albums sont nés, dont le contenu intimiste se prête peu, a priori, au gigantisme.
Quoique : le ménestrel britannique Ed Sheeran, que son aînée accueillit en première partie en 2013, obtint six ans plus tard le record de la tournée la plus lucrative de l’histoire en jouant seul, avec sa guitare sèche et des sons programmés, des ballades de feu de camp.
Ed Sheeran doit encore fournir des efforts pour bénéficier des éloges qui ont couvert Folklore, fréquemment cité dans les palmarès discographiques de 2020 et salué comme « l’album de la maturité », un des plus tenaces clichés de la presse musicale.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Latest on Senate confirmation hearings for President-elect Joe Biden´s nominees for his administration (all times local):
6:30 a.m.
President-elect Joe Biden´s nominee to be America´s top diplomat says he´s ready to confront challenges posed by China, Iran, North Korea and Russia.
Secretary of State-designate Antony Blinken also says he´s committed to rebuilding the State Department after four years of atrophy under the Trump administration.
Blinken is set to appear Tuesday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
In testimony prepared for his appearance, Blinken says he sees a world of rising nationalism and receding democracy. He also says that mounting threats from authoritarian states are reshaping all aspects of human life, particularly in cyberspace.
Blinken says American global leadership still matters and without it rivals will either step in to fill the vacuum or there will be chaos. He says neither choice is palatable.
Blinken also promises to bring Congress in as a full foreign-policy partner, a subtle jab at President Donald Trump's administration and its secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who routinely ignored or bypassed lawmakers in policy-making.

HERE´S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PRESIDENT-ELECT JOE BIDEN´S CABINET PICKS:
President-elect Joe Biden´s national security Cabinet may be bare on Day One of his presidency, but an inauguration eve spurt of Senate confirmation hearings suggests that won´t be the case for long.

HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON:
6 a.m.
President-elect Joe Biden´s pick for national intelligence director is planning to tell Senate lawmakers that intelligence and national security issues will not be politicized under her watch.
Avril Haines faces a confirmation hearing Tuesday before the Senate intelligence committee.
Haines will also tell lawmakers that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence must not shy away from "speaking truth to power" even if inconvenient or difficult. That´s according to excerpts of her prepared remarks released ahead of the hearing.
Haines served in the Obama administration as deputy director of the CIA and deputy national security adviser.
If confirmed, Haines would be tasked with restoring stability to an intelligence community that has been repeatedly denigrated by President Donald Trump. She would also be the first woman to hold the position.

DONALD TRUMP has been flagged by Twitter for a furious rant as he stares down the barrel of a humiliating Georgia sentate run-off election defeat.
The US president, who was defeated in November's US election, posted several furious messages on Twitter this morning - all of which were flagged by Twitter. He said: "Looks like they are setting up a big “voter dump” against the Republican candidates. Waiting to see how many votes they need?" This message was flagged by Twitter: "Learn more about US election 2020 security efforts."
Mr Trump added: "Just happened to have found another 4000 ballots from Fulton County. Here we go!
"If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect & even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!"
Both of these messages were flagged: "This claim about election fraud is disputed."
If the Democrats manage to win both races the Senate will be tied in terms of seats, allowing incoming vice-president Kamala Harris to have the deciding vote if all break along party lines.
Republican senators David Perdue and Raphael Warnock are facing challenges from Democrats Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock.
NBC has called the result of the first run-off in favour of Mr Warnock.
And on Twitter election analyst Dave Wasserman posted: “I’ve seen enough.
“Raphael Warnock (D) defeats Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R) in GA's special Senate runoff.”
However, Twitter added a warning to the tweet stating: “Multiple sources may not have called the race when this was Tweeted.”
Ms Loeffler is refusing to concede defeat and insists she still has a path to victory.
Mr Trump campaigned in Georgia ahead of the vote holding a major rally on Tuesday.
Reverend Warnock delivered a speech after claiming victory.
He said: “Georgia, I am honoured by the faith that you have shown in me.
“I am going to the Senate to work for all of Georgia.

“Whether you voted for me or not, know this: I hear you. I see you.
“And every day I’m in the United States Senate, I will fight for you.”
Stacey Abrams, a Democrat who served in the Georgia House of Representatives between 2007 and 2017, also called the election for Reverend Warnock.
She tweeted: “Congratulations to our next US Senator Reverernd Warnock.

“Last January, I endorsed my dear friend in his quest to serve.
“Soon, he will walk those august halls and cast votes as a leader with courage, justice and integrity.
“God bless you and keep you in your service to us all.”
Speaking to WSB-TV Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling commented: “From the numbers we’re looking at right now, it doesn’t look good for the two incumbent Republican senators.”
The Georgia election took place against a backdrop of heightened political tension with Donald Trump still refusing to recognise the November presidential election result.
The incumbent president has been alleging, without providing solid evidence, that the vote was rigged against him.
On Wednesday Congress will meet to officially certify Joe Biden’s election victory.
However President Trump has announced he will attend a rally in Washington DC rejecting the result.
On Sunday he retweeted a promotional video posted by one of the organisers adding: “I will be there. Historic day!”
The DC National Guard have been deployed to help manage the demonstrations.

Children's minister Vicky Ford said this would ensure eligible children received "a healthy, nutritious lunch".
It comes after footballer Marcus Rashford shared images of some parcels online, calling them .css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link{color:#3F3F42;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited{color:#696969;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited{font-weight:700;border-bottom:1px solid #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:focus{border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-width:2px;color:#B80000;}@supports (text-underline-offset:0.25em){.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link,.css-1xgj2ad-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-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:focus{-webkit-text-decoration-color:currentcolor;text-decoration-color:currentcolor;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#B80000;}}"not good enough".
One post, by Roadside Mum on Twitter, was picked up by news outlets.
Food parcels are currently being sent to school children in England who would normally get free school meals.
A row broke out after Roadside Mum posted the photo of two carrots, two potatoes, a tin of baked beans and a small range of other food items, which she calculated to have cost about £5. The post prompted others to complain about the quality and quantity of the food in parcels.
The mother, who does not want to be identified, had thought it was supposed to last 10 school days and should have been worth £30.
Chartwells, the company that provided the parcel, said it was actually only intended to last one school week and had cost £10.50 for food, packing and distribution.
The firm said it had been required to provide thousands of food parcels "at extremely short notice" - but acknowledged it was insufficient and apologised.
In a statement on Tuesday, Ms Ford said the food parcels being shared online were "completely unacceptable" and "do not reflect the high standard of free school meals we expect to be sent to children".
She added: "Chartwells has rightly apologised and admitted the parcel in question was not good enough. I met their managing director earlier today and he has assured me they have taken immediate action to stop further deliveries of poor-quality parcels.
"They will ensure schools affected are compensated and they will provide additional food to the eligible child in line with our increased funding."
She said the government would now be demanding that caterers "urgently improve the quality of lunches they provide to children".
"This will make sure every one of them receives a healthy and nutritious lunch that will give them the fuel they need to focus on learning at home."
Ms Ford has said anyone with evidence of problems should provide details to the Department of Education for investigation.
The government will set out further details on Wednesday of how best to report this and other matters, she said.
Chartwells, which is owned by Compass group, has pledged to refund costs where food parcels have not met its standards, and to contact schools to understand where shortages have occurred, while also apologising to anyone affected.
It has also said the firm will further enhance its food parcels following the Department for Education's additional allowance of £3.50 per week per child, in line with nutritional guidelines.

The initial images drew widespread criticism.
Labour's leader Sir Keir Starmer tweeted that the food appeared to be "woefully inadequate" and said it needed "sorting immediately".
And Anne Longfield, the children's commissioner, called on companies to provide "real food and real amounts that will really help families".
Meanwhile, Dr Max Davie, of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said the contents of the food parcels were "not nutritionally sufficient for children and young people".
He added: "Children who rely on free school meals have worse health outcomes than their peers and deserve proper help. The examples shared are an insult to the dignity of people who rely on this support."
After a meeting with the company, Rashford, a high-profile campaigner for children on free school meals, said: "One thing that is clear is that there was very little communication with the suppliers that a national lockdown was coming.
"We MUST do better. Children shouldn't be going hungry on the basis that we aren't communicating or being transparent with plans. That is unacceptable."
Earlier on Tuesday, Downing Street said food parcels should be healthy and sufficient for the task.
The DfE, which has clear guidelines for parcels, has said it will open a national scheme to provide supermarket vouchers via an online portal - similar to that of the first lockdown - "as soon as possible".
During the current lockdown, schools in England have been told to continue providing free meals for those who are learning at home, and have been urged to use their usual caterers to offer food parcels.
If schools cannot provide parcels, they can consider other arrangements which might include vouchers for local shops and supermarkets.
In Wales, the provision of free school meals during the holidays has been extended by a year, and the Northern Ireland Executive made a pledge in November to provide free school meals in holidays until Easter 2022.
In Scotland - where holiday provision is currently promised up to Easter 2021 - both the SNP and the Scottish Conservatives have pledged to fund free school meals for all primary school pupils during term-time and holidays if they win the 2021 Scottish election.

緊急宣言拡大へ 強い危機感共有したい

愛知、岐阜、栃木三県は、大阪府など関西三府県に続き、緊急事態宣言の対象に追加するよう政府に要請した。首都圏の感染拡大は他地域にとっても対岸の火事ではない。強い危機感を共有したい。
政府は十三日にも、関西三府県について緊急事態宣言の再発令を決定する方針で、宣言の範囲が拡大する。愛知、岐阜、栃木三県にも同日、併せて同宣言が再発令される可能性がある。
愛知県の大村秀章知事は十二日の記者会見で「愛知、岐阜県は厳しい状況である」との認識を示し、宣言再発令の必要性について「政府に明確に両県の意思を伝えた」と述べた。政府は「認識と危機感を共有した」と答え、十三日にも対応を協議する。
愛知県の三連休の新規感染者は、九日が三百六十二人、十日が三百四十三人、十一日が百九十八人と高水準が続き、休み明けで検体が少なかった十二日も百三十二人だった。岐阜県は十一日の新規感染者は五十人で、新たに六つのクラスターを認定した。
両県の要請に合わせ、三重県も同宣言に準じた独自の非常事態宣言を出す方針だ。東海地方の三県は社会経済活動が一体である。感染が深刻な愛知、岐阜県が足並みをそろえて要請し、三重県も合わせて警戒を強めるのは適切だ。
緊急事態宣言が再発令されれば、原則として営業時間短縮を求める対象を、酒類を提供する飲食店からすべての飲食店に拡大する方針。営業時間はこれまでより一時間早い午後八時まで、酒類の提供は同七時までとされる。「コロナ慣れ」もある中で、大村知事は「行動の変容」を強く訴えており、夜間の不要不急の外出自粛などが求められる。再び「制約ある生活」を強いられるが、まさにここが踏ん張りどころである。
愛知県病院協会会長は七日に県庁であった専門家会議で「もう医療崩壊が始まっていると言わざるをえない」と警告した。特に愛知県民は医療の現場が逼迫（ひっぱく）している実態を厳しく受け止め、移動自粛やテレワーク、時差出勤など自分ができる対策を徹底してほしい。
岐阜県では知事選が告示されている。現職はコロナ対策の公務に専念するため遊説取りやめを表明した。有権者に訴えを伝えることは重要だが、選挙運動で感染拡大を招くような事態は避けたい。ＳＮＳやリモート集会のフル活用などで、民意を反映できる選挙の実現に知恵を絞ってほしい。

Hundreds of supporters of President Trump descended on Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, planning to protest Wednesday's expected congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s victory in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
As of late Tuesday, police had already arrested at least six people for a variety of offenses, including weapons and ammunition possession, possessing a stun gun and assaulting a police officer, authorities said.
Many of the protesters gathered in Freedom Plaza, east of the White House, to cheer on Trump's claims of election fraud, a day before the congressional vote on the election results. Hundreds remained in the plaza into the night amid cold temperatures and as rain swept into the area.
"I’m just here to support the president," said David Wideman, a 45-year-old firefighter who traveled from Memphis, Tenn.
Trump shared his support for the protesters in a Twitter message on Tuesday.
"Washington is being inundated with people who don’t want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats. Our Country has had enough, they won’t take it anymore! We hear you (and love you) from the Oval Office. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he wrote.
Protesters were later seen on social media clashing with law enforcement.
Local authorities had braced for the possibility of violent clashes ahead of the rallies. Businesses boarded up their windows in the downtown area in fear of damage to their stores after many were impacted during the unrest and rioting in the nation's capital last year.
Mayor Muriel Bowser called up the D.C. National Guard to help with crowd and traffic control ahead of the planned demonstrations this week. She urged residents to stay away and avoid confrontations.
"We will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city," Bowser said.
Bowser reminded the public and anyone attending the rally that firearms were prohibited "within 1,000 feet of any First Amendment activity."
The mayor's statement comes as police have been posting signs near where the rally was to take place, notifying the public that all firearms would be prohibited. Police said the prohibition on carrying weapons at the rally includes city residents who have a concealed carry permit.
Trump said he would be speaking to his supporters in Washington at 11 a.m. Wednesday during a "SAVE AMERICA RALLY" on the Ellipse, just south of the White House.
He also urged Antifa activists to stay out of Washington -- using the term "Terrorist Organization," in a separate tweet on Tuesday.
"Law enforcement is watching you very closely!" he continued.
Organizers planned to rally into the night on Tuesday and again all day on Wednesday on the Ellipse. An afternoon march was also planned to the U.S. Capitol, where Congress will be voting on whether to affirm the election results.
A number of prominent Trump supporters were expected to attend, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and longtime Trump ally Roger Stone, the recipient of a pardon by the president.
Earlier this week, DC police Chief Robert Contee III said guns were not allowed at the demonstrations and anyone in violation of D.C. law would be arrested.
During previous pro-Trump protests, police sealed off Black Lives Matter Plaza, just north of the White House, but the confrontations spilled out to the surrounding streets. Black Lives Matter Plaza was sealed off again Tuesday.
"We know that historically over the last few demonstrations that BLM Plaza has been a focal point," Contee said a day earlier. "We want to make sure that that is not an issue."

Au-delà de l’assaut du Capitole, l’écrivain américain Ron Rash s’inquiète, dans une tribune au « Monde », des élans totalitaires, à gauche comme à droite, qui enflent aux Etats-Unis. Contenir ces élans sera, selon lui, l’immense défi que Joe Biden aura à relever.
En 1968, j’avais 14 ans quand l’Amérique parut se désagréger. Nous étions au beau milieu d’une guerre qui avait divisé les Américains, souvent en fonction de leur âge et de leur classe sociale. Cet été-là, il y eut aussi des émeutes dans plusieurs grandes villes. Je me souviens de mes parents regardant CBS Evening News, le journal télévisé du soir présenté par Walter Cronkite. Nous voyions des images de villes en flammes, y compris de Washington. Des policiers casqués matraquant des manifestants à la convention démocrate.
Chaque soir nous étions tenus informés du nombre de soldats tués au Vietnam. La division était partout, jusque dans ma petite ville du sud des Etats-Unis. Un soir, alors que j’étais dans un snack, une bagarre éclata entre un garçon aux cheveux longs en âge d’être incorporé et un homme grisonnant d’une cinquantaine d’années à propos des paroles pacifistes d’une chanson sortant du juke-box.
Un autre soir, après avoir vu à la télévision de nouvelles scènes de violence, ma mère fondit en larmes, persuadée que le pays ne s’en remettrait pas. Et pourtant, le pays a survécu.
L’abandon des électeurs de la classe ouvrière
Aujourd’hui, nous sommes au bord d’un autre précipice. Pour de nombreuses raisons, souvent complexes. Cependant il ne fait aucun doute que figurent parmi elles l’abandon des électeurs de la classe ouvrière par le Parti démocrate et l’exploitation cynique de cet abandon par le Parti républicain.
Il n’est pas surprenant, dans un pays où la Cour suprême a décidé que les sociétés commerciales sont désormais des personnes, que les deux partis soient trop souvent contrôlés par des intérêts liés aux entreprises. En cas de doute, il suffit de consulter la liste des dons en faveur des campagnes électorales. Le moment était venu pour Donald Trump – qui lui au moins prétendait s’intéresser aux préoccupations de la classe ouvrière – de tirer profit des circonstances.
Les commentateurs, aux Etats-Unis, ont trop souvent comparé Trump aux traîtres shakespeariens, mais il est loin d’être aussi intéressant ; il n’est pas plus complexe qu’un enfant gâté de 5 ans. C’est pourtant cette simplicité que j’ai toujours trouvé le plus effrayant chez lui, parce qu’elle en fait un homme capable de tout, parce que sa vision de la vie est anhistorique. Par là je ne veux pas simplement parler de son absence de curiosité intellectuelle, ni du fait qu’il n’a jamais ouvert un livre d’histoire ou témoigné le moindre intérêt pour tout ce qui est situé en dehors de sa sphère personnelle. Je veux avant tout dire que nier le passé est le propre de son caractère.

DONALD TRUMP is on the verge of a humuliating US Sentate defeat after Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock won a hotly contested race in Georgia over Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, the latest forecasts have predicted.
|
DONALD TRUMP is on the verge of a humuliating US Sentate defeat after Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock won a hotly contested race in Georgia over Republican incumbent Kelly Loeffler, the latest forecasts have predicted.
Mr Warnock defeated Ms Loeffler in one of two runoff elections in Georgia that will decide control of the Senate, keeping alive Democrats' hopes of taking control of the Senate.
The results will also determine whether Republicans will be able to block the agenda of President-elect Joe Biden.
There was still no clear winner in the race between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican David Perdue.
Mr Warnock was ahead of Loeffler by a percentage point or some 40,000 votes ahead of his rival, while Mr Ossoff led Mr Perdue by about 3,560 votes, according to Edison Research.
The Democrats would create history as no representative from the party has won a US Senate race in Georgia in 20 years.
Mr Warnock will become the state's irst Black U.S. senator while 33-year-old Mr Ossoff would be the Senate's youngest member.
The Senate races drew 4.5 million voters - a new record for a runoff - as well as nearly £500million spent on advertising since November 3 and visits on Monday by both President Trump and Mr Biden.
The majority of votes there were left to be counted were in counties won by Mr Biden during the Presidential election two months ago, with around 30,000 to go in DeKalb and Newton counties near Atlanta, according to estimates from Eddison Research.
Speaking before he had been declared the winner, Mr Warnock claimed victory in a video livestream.
He said: "We were told that we couldn't win this election. But tonight, we proved that with hope, hard work and the people by our side, anything is possible.
"I am going to the Senate to work for all of Georgia, no matter who you cast your vote for in this election."
Ms Loeffler had not conceded the race was over when speaking at an Election Night Party in Atlanta.
She said: “It's worth it for this election to last into tomorrow.
"We're gonna make sure every vote is counted.
"Every legal vote will be counted. And I'm not gonna stop working,”
Gabriel Sterling, a top election official in Georgia, told NBC News it would be a tense race and that it would be a “long night.”
He said: “Its going to be a nickel and dime, scratching and clawing over the next several hours as these continue to come in.
“There’s big tranches for Democrats and there’s lots of little tranches of votes for Republicans.”
Election officials are taking a short break overnight but will rsume counting on Wednesday morning.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told CNN: "Hopefully by noon we'll have a better idea where we are."
The Democrats need to win both of the votes in Georgia to take control of the Senate.
A sweep from the Republican's rivals would create a 50-50 split in the Senate and give Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, as president of the Senate, the tie-breaking vot after she and Mr Biden take office on January 20.
If the Republicans manage to hold onto the second seat, they would effectively wield veto power political and judicial appointees made by Mr Biden, as well as several of the President-elect's legislative initiatives in areas such as economic relief, climate change, healthcare and criminal justice.
This is a breaking story. More to follow...

Fort Hood's toxic culture? Red flags raised over mysterious disappearances, sexual assaults

The disappearance of Vanessa Guillén, a 20-year-old soldier at the sprawling Texas Army base of Fort Hood last April, captured headlines across the world.
After 10 torturous weeks and growing fears that another soldier who had sexually harassed her was involved, Guillén's dismembered, burned body parts were unearthed from a box by a river. That fellow soldier, her suspected killer, died by suicide as police inched closer to him.
But critics of the military installation vow there is much more to it. Last year, more than 30 soldiers associated with Fort Hood died – 11 were deemed suicides and five homicides.
The public outrage at Guillén's murder forced an independent review of the base, led by a five-member civilian team. The findings found a "deficient climate" at Fort Hood, as well as an "ineffective implementation of the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) program that resulted in a pervasive lack of confidence, fear of retaliation, and significant underreporting of cases, particularly within the enlisted ranks."
But the review unveiled Tuesday also details deep concerns about the culture at the base, which has a population of over 60,000, including nearly 37,000 service members.
"The murder of Specialist Vanessa Guillén shocked our conscience and brought attention to deeper problems," stated Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy.
Beyond sexual harassment, the committee's findings also cast a disturbing light on the "ad hoc approach" to soldiers who do not show up for duty. They are automatically labeled "Absent Without Official Leave" (AWOL), with few resources dedicated to finding them or learning why they're missing. Guillén was listed AWOL even though her car keys and military identification were still inside the garrison, her car was in the parking lot, and there was no activity on her bank accounts.
"In the civilian world, people are treated not as AWOL, but as missing persons. Our military is not second-class citizens," Natalie Khawam, the Guillens' attorney, told Fox News. "This needs to be the year of the military. Who wants to join if cases are mishandled, and there is a real abuse of power and discretion?"
The report also pointed to a lack of experience and high turnover within the ranks of the Criminal Investigation Department, leading to problems with launching sufficient investigations.
As it stands, there are more than 1,000 deserters wanted by the U.S. Army and it remains unclear explicitly what is being done to determine their fates. Ten months before Guillen disappeared, Pvt. Gregory Morales also vanished from Fort Hood. His body was unintentionally recovered a few miles from the base in June, during the search for Guillen. He had been listed as AWOL in August 2019 and later as a deserter.
However, for his mother, Kim Wedel, her life in Oklahoma halted as she pleaded for assistance and answers from Fort Hood's Army Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
"If any other business had this many glaring problems, leadership would be gone. Why did it take an investigation to see that the CID was understaffed and overwhelmed? There was a lack of response from CID, and they certainly didn't know what to do with me as a mom calling all the time," Wedel told Fox News.
The Killeen Police Department is heading the investigation into Morales' death, in which foul play is suspected, according to local reports.
"The Army didn't care enough to see there was a problem," Wedel asserted. "I still haven't really heard from anyone down there. My son will never be at the forefront, and it is shocking how many parents like us are out there. People don't just disappear because they choose to."
Scott Weinhold, 24, a veteran of Fort Hood, went fishing with friends from the base in February 2019. He disappeared and his body was eventually found at Temple Lake Park along with that of his friend and fellow soldier. His death was ruled a drowning with hypothermia.
There was one survivor, but according to his New Hampshire-based mother, Jennifer Florin, she has never been given proper access to him and she is left to piece together her son's final hours.
Florin also claimed that there were threats of arrest from Fort Hood leaders during their initial search for their son, pertaining to being in waters belonging to the base.
But what was worse, Florin said, was having to buy her own flag, then learning that officials were not permitted to attend because of a back-up at the crematory. The family needed to return to the East Coast.
"It was just one slap in the face after another; it was horrific," she said. "I would like to see a complete investigation that isn't only focused on sexual trauma because there are a lot more issues at that base. It needs drastic oversight. We thought we had to be worried about sending our children to foreign soil, but it turns out we have to be more worried about them here."
Indeed, problems have plagued Fort Hood through multiple administrations, according to family members torn by grief and frustration.
The family of Fort Hood Army Cpl. Christopher Ferguson said his death in March 2007 is steeped in mystery and they are still in pain almost 14 years later.
"We got a call one night that he had been drunk, and got into an accident and had fallen several stories from a balcony and landed on the top of his head," his sister, Christina McDonald recalled.
On the flight from Ohio, she envisioned her brother wrapped like a mummy in bandages at the hospital. "Only he just looked as though he was sleeping, minimal scratches, no broken bones," she said.
Ferguson, who McDonald described as "very straight-edged and never drank or smoked or got into trouble," was on life support and never regained consciousness. But nothing, she said, that she was being told about the off-base gathering at a fellow Fort Hood soldier's apartment that night ever made sense.
She noted that she later found her brother's camera, complete with photographs at the apartment that night of people who had vowed that they were never there. When she pushed for an independent medical examination, she was told it seemed more like her brother had been hit, "and his brain was jarred."
The official cause of death was "undetermined" but ruled an accident years later, McDonald said. She said there is neither closure nor clarity.
But victims and skeptics of the installation's leadership have long bemoaned that for years, answers and transparency were challenging to come by.
That same year, 2007, 20-year-old Spc. Kamisha Block deployed to Iraq with a military police unit from Fort Hood, but was shot and killed just weeks later by Staff Sgt. Paul Brandon Norris. Block's younger sister Shonta said he later killed himself.
Both Block and Norris were members of the 401st Military Police Company and believed to have been in a secret relationship; it was prohibited under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. But it turned tragic in a war zone more than 7,000 miles away.
At the time, the distraught Block family – at their home in Vidor, Texas – were informed that Block died from a friendly fire gunshot through the heart. Yet after viewing the body at a local funeral home, Shonta questioned the official cause of death.
"When I saw her, I said, 'Mom, that's not her hair' – there was a fake bun glued to her head. Her head had been blown out at the back," Shonta told Fox News, stressing that the body showed multiple bullet wounds rather than only one, as they had been informed. "My family never got answers."
With her advocacy, the Army re-opened the case in 2018 to investigate an allegation that someone was ordered to destroy medical records related to the case. It was closed again in 2020, on the grounds that "no credible information was found to substantiate the allegations."
"The Army opened it and handed it right back to CID," Shonta lamented.
However, change could be coming.
Since the review, McCarthy has ordered the firing, suspension, or re-assignment of 14 of Fort Hood's senior leadership – a number of whom were part of CID. It marks one of the most significant punitive actions ever executed by the service.
The independent committee also put forth 70 recommendations "relating to areas including SHARP; Fort Hood Criminal Investigation Command (CID); missing Soldier protocols; and the installation's crime prevention and public relations efforts."
"In response to the findings of the independent review, the Secretary of the Army signed a directive clarifying expectations and responsibilities of unit commanders and Army law enforcement authorities focused on the first 48 hours after a Soldier fails to report for duty," an Army spokesperson told Fox News. "When one of our teammates does not report for duty, we now change their duty status to 'absent-unknown' and take immediate action to find them."
The spokesperson also emphasized that "the challenges at Fort Hood forced us to take a critical look at our systems, our policies, and ourselves."
"While the independent review focused on the command climate and culture at Fort Hood, the findings contained in the committee's report impact the entire Army and more than 1.2 million Soldiers," the representative continued. "In response, we created the People First Task Force to analyze the findings and recommendations in the report, develop a plan of action to address issues identified by the committee, and reevaluate current policy and programs."
The Task Force will present its recommendations to Army leadership as quickly as possible for Army senior leaders' review and implementation.
Under McCarthy's direction, the military also is running its own investigation into Fort Hood, and further disciplinary measures could be taken.
However, many soldiers and families connected to Fort Hood told Fox News that the personnel changes were merely cosmetic, and they feared "business as usual" when the spotlight faded.
Jennifer Norris, an Air Force veteran and military crime analyst who has focused on Fort Hood issues since 2016, said in order to look forward, one also must look back.
"The deaths ruled a suicide – they need to be investigated. Why did they take their lives? Were those deaths properly investigated? Was it really a suicide, or was it a murder? Everything needs to be questioned," she added. "We can't just pretend the last 20 years didn't happen."

Hannover – Wie hart trifft der Corona-Winter die Wirtschaft? Das ganze Ausmaß des Lockdowns ist noch nicht absehbar. Doch neue Zahlen zur Kurzarbeit bereiten weiterhin Sorge.
Im Dezember waren nach einer Schätzung des Wirtschaftsforschungs-Institutes Ifo rund 223.000 Arbeitnehmer in Niedersachsen und Bremen in Kurzarbeit. Anteil: 6,6 Prozent!
Die Schätzung basiert auf den Kurzarbeit-Meldungen von rund 7000 Unternehmen bei einer Konjunkturumfrage im Dezember. Im Bundesländervergleich liegen Niedersachsen und Bremen auf Platz 3. Nur in Hessen (7,4 Prozent) und Baden-Württemberg (6,7 Prozent) lag die Quote noch höher. Am wenigsten Kurzarbeit gab es in Sachsen-Anhalt und Thüringen (4,1 Prozent).
Ifo-Arbeitsmarktexperte Sebastian Link: „Nach wie vor sind Länder mit höherem Industrieanteil etwas stärker von Kurzarbeit betroffen. Durch die Erholung in der Industrie sind diese Unterschiede in den letzten Monaten jedoch deutlich geringer geworden.“

CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA sadly came to an end following the second half of the second season. Is Sabrina really dead?

CHILLING ADVENTURES OF SABRINA sadly came to an end following the second half of the second season. Is Sabrina really dead?
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is a popular supernatural series on Netflix which follows the title character (played by Kiernan Shipka) as she finds herself stuck in the middle of two worlds. The young witch has had to balance turbulent relationships along with the forces of evil, and the series ended with an emotional finale. Fans are wondering whether Sabrina is really dead after she sacrificed herself in the final season.
The series made its debut on Netflix in 2018 and it went down a hit with fans, with Shipka receiving plenty of positive reviews for her portrayal of Sabrina Spellman.
In December 2018 the series was renewed for a second season, which was to be split into two parts.
Sadly, in July 2020, Netflix announced the series had been cancelled, and the creators had to prepare for the characters storylines to wrap up.
Fans witnessed a heartbreaking ending for both Sabrinas - Sabrina Morningstar who ruled Hell, and the Sabrina back on Earth.
Her counterpart in Hell was killed by the Void, and Sabrina Spellman was overcome with grief as the terror threatened her closest friends.

Sabrina made the decision to enter the Void in a bid to trap it within Pandora's Box for the rest of time.
When she returned, she was not the same and was unable to control the elements of the Void within her.
In order to stop the Void once and for all, Sabrina came to the realisation she would need to be sacrificed for the greater good.
While Sabrina and her friends were attempting to stop the Void, an omen of death appeared, signalling the imminent end to Sabrina's life.
Fans were shocked to see Sabrina die following the defeat of the Void, and she remained dead until the end of the series.
The creators of the show have suggested her story will continue in the form of comic books, so she will live on one way or another.
Sadly, the TV version of Sabrina will not be coming back to life any time soon, as she really did die once and for all.
Shipka told The Wrap of how she went into the fourth instalment knowing it would be her last.
She said: "I’m so happy that we shot it with it being a true series finale in mind. I definitely think that there is sort of an alternate editing version if we kept going.
"But to actually have true closure and have that be the final shot was really … I think that was known, at least from my perspective.

"I was like, ‘Yeah, this is the last shot.’ And I’m happy we wrapped it up the way we did."
She did say she would jump at the chance to revisit the character in some form or another, so there may be hope of Shipka returning to screens one day.
In the meantime, she said she was glad the final instalment left viewers with a clear message that the story had come to an end.
Fans have taken to Twitter to discuss Sabrina's final moments, with one saying: "Thinking about when Nick came back all excited bc they won, coming back wanting to tell it to Sabrina.. but instead he saw her dead body. His joy in that moment twisted to absolute pain."
Another fan said: "I am not looking forward to that brief moment in the morning when I wake and forget Chilling Adventures is over and Sabrina is dead and then it hits me all over again."
Viewers were also left distraught after Sabrina's love interest, Nick (Gavin Leatherwood), took his own life to be with Sabrina.
Overcome with sadness following her death, he drowned in the Sea of Sorrows so he could be reunited with her in another life.
He told her he would 'see her on the other side', and the emotional moment brought a tear to the eyes of many fans.

Türkiye’nin ilk ilçe Kent Müzesi olarak 10 Ocak 2009 yılında açılan İnegöl Kent Müzesi, 12’nci yaşını kutluyor. 12 yılda yerli ve yabancı toplam 850 bin ziyaretçi ağırlayan müze, bu süre zarfında Türkiye'deki farklı şehirlerde hayat bulan pek çok müze için de esin kaynağı oldu. İnegöl Kent Müzesi, kuruluşunun 12’nci yılını kutluyor. Kurulum çalışmaları 2005 yılında başlayan ve 10 Ocak 2009 tarihinde resmi açılışı gerçekleştirilen Türkiye’nin ilk ilçe kent müzesi unvanına sahip İnegöl Kent Müzesi, 12 yılda yerli ve yabancı 850 bin misafir ağırladı. Sadece bir müze olmakla kalmayıp salon etkinlikleri ve sergilere de ev sahipliği yapan, aynı zamanda ülkemizin pek çok şehrinde hayat bulan benzeri müzelere ilham kaynağı olarak katkı sunan İnegöl Kent Müzesi, şehrin tüm değerlerini içerisinde barındırıyor. İnegöl Belediye Başkanı Alper Taban, Kent Müzesi’nin 12’nci kuruluş yılına özel bir açıklama yaptı. İnegöl Kent Müzesi’nin Türkiye’nin ilk ilçe kent müzesi olduğuna vurgu yapan Başkan Taban, “2005 yılında başlayan kurulum çalışmaları tam 4 sene sürdü. O dönem müze oluşumu için kurulan komisyon; bu 4 senede çok büyük fedakarlıklar yaparak köy köy, belde belde dolaştı. Cami imamlarından muhtarlara, oda ve derneklere kadar herkesi bu işe dahil etti. Bu titiz çalışmalar sonucunda; halkımız tarafından müzemize yüzlerce materyal, onlarca eşya bağışı sağlandı. Araştırmalar yapıldı. Akademisyenlerle çalışıldı. Konunun uzmanlarına danışıldı. Böylelikle bu büyük hizmet; halkımız tarafından sahiplenildi. Bu yönüyle Kent Müzemiz; bir şahsın veya bir kurumun değil, ilçe halkımızın ortak eseri olarak oluştu” dedi. İnegöl halkının bağışlarıyla hiçbir ücret ödenmeden müze içerisinde yerini alan eserlerin dünyadaki nadir müze koleksiyonlarından biri olarak karşımıza çıktığını ifade eden Başkan Alper Taban, “Birçok kente örnek olan ve müzecilik anlayışı çerçevesinde Mobilya Ağaç Sanayi Müzesi ile taçlandırdığımız bu özel ve anlamlı oluşuma katkıda bulunan başta İnegöl halkımız olmak üzere, kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarına, muhtarlarımıza, sivil toplum örgütlerine, projemizin başından itibaren özverili katkılarını esirgemeyen koordinasyon kurulu üyelerimiz; Nedim Bayram, Serdar Rubacı, Bayram İnaltekin, İsmail Hakkı Özak ile Ali Osman Olgun’a ve akademik danışma kurulu üyelerimize teşekkürlerimizi sunuyoruz. Bu değerli büyüklerimiz arasında rahmetli olanlara Allah’tan rahmet, hayatta olanlara da sağlıklı ömürler diliyoruz” diye konuştu. Kent Müzesi’nin 12 yıllık ziyaretçi verilerinden de söz eden Başkan Taban, şöyle devam etti: “10 Ocak 2009 tarihinde açılan Türkiye’nin İlk ilçe Kent Müzesi olma özelliğine sahip müzemiz, o tarihten bu yana yerli ve yabancı ziyaretçilerin uğrak yeri olmuştur. Müzemiz,12 yılda toplam 850 bin ziyaretçiyi ağırlamıştır. 12. yılına büyük onurla giren İnegöl Kent Müzemiz yurt içi ve yurt dışından gelen ziyaretçilere ev sahipliği yaparken, İnegöl’ün turizm değerlerinin de öne çıkmasına olanak sağlamaktadır. İnegöl Kent Müzemiz; saydığım tüm bu özelliklerin yanında farklı özellikleri de bünyesinde barındıran bir mekan. Müzemiz birçok kültür etkinliğinin merkezi haline gelerek, İnegöl’de açılan sergilerin merkezi konumuna gelmiştir. Müzemizde bugüne kadar birbirinden kıymetli 131 sergimizi ziyaretçilerimizle buluşturmanın gururunu yaşadık. Kent Müzesini ziyaret gelen misafirler, müzenin karşısındaki İshakpaşa Külliyesi ve Cuma Camii ile Tarihi Kapalı Çarşı’yı gezdikten sonra Ortaköy Kervansarayı, Oylat Mağarası gibi önemli tarihi ve turistik mekanları da gezme fırsatına ulaşmaktadır. Bu manada Kent Müzemiz destinasyon alanlarının merkezi konumuna ulaşmış ve ilçemizin turizm alanındaki değerlerinin tanıtılması noktasında önemli bir işlevi de yerine getirmektedir. Hem kültürel etkinlikleri hem de İnegöl’ün değerlerini aynı anda yeni nesle sunması yönünden İnegöl Kent Müzesi aynı zamanda bir okuldur.” Türkiye’nin ilk İlçe Kent Müzesi unvanına sahip müzemiz, bu anlamda farklı şehirlere öncülük de ettiğini belirten Taban, "Kent Müzemizi diğer şehirlerdeki benzerlerinden ayıran en önemli özelliği; Şehrin hikayesinin bu kadar güzel bir şekilde anlatıldığı, geçmişin bugüne ve geleceğe yansıtılmasına olanak sağlayan böylesi önemli mekanların birçok şehire örnek olmasıdır. Şimdiye kadar birçok il ve ilçe; Kent Müzesi kurmak için İnegöl Kent Müzesini model almıştır. Geçmişin bizlere daha anlatacağı çok şey var düsturuyla hareket eden Yaşayan Müze İnegöl Kent Müzesi’nin 12’nci yaşını kutladığımız günlerde, bu vesileyle tüm ilçe halkımızı yeniden müzemizi ziyaret etmeye davet ediyorum” dedi.

ALAN TITCHMARSH has explained he only watched the first two seasons of The Crown before stopping as he felt uneasy about watching the latest series.
Alan Titchmarsh joined Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain to talk about why gardening is so important during the UK’s third national lockdown and his relationship with the Royal Family. The much-loved gardener was asked if he was a fan of Netflix series The Crown as he is a friend of the royals. However, Alan explained he refused to watch the latest two seasons as the events portrayed were too close historically to what he knew about.
Piers began: “You’re a very popular man with our Royal Family. They all absolutely love you.
“You’re a friend of Prince Charles, a very keen gardner but you’re resolutely refusing to watch The Crown on Netflix. Why?”
Alan, 71, remarked: “I watched the first two series which were sufficiently distant historically to be interesting.
“Now, we are getting much closer to the present day and so much of it is conjecture.

“We weren’t behind closed doors when those things were going on.
“To day it’s a drama, I think it’s playing with people’s lives.
“Whether it’s the Prince of Wales or someone else, or whether it’s you or me, if you made a drama about our private lives and made it up and said it’s a drama really, you are using real people.
“Whoever they are, I don’t think it’s a good idea but that’s just me.”
Also in the interview, Alan spoke about how gardening has helped “ground” the public during the national lockdowns.
“It’s shown us a sense of reality that’s lacking in this crazy world,” he remarked.
However, the presenter had to put his gardening on hold last year after he broke his ankle.
He recalled: “I lost a stone then broke my ankle so put half a stone back on.
“It’s very hard operating on three legs, two crutches and one leg. I’m fully mobile again and back out there.”

Winterberg (dpa/lnw) - Nach dem großen Ansturm und teils chaotischen Zuständen in den Wintersportgebieten in Nordrhein-Westfalen zum Jahreswechsel ist es am Samstag im sauerländischen Winterberg zunächst ruhig geblieben. Am Vormittag war nach Polizeiangaben so gut wie kein Verkehr auf den Straßen zu beobachten. Vereinzelt seien Autos zu sehen gewesen, die an gesperrten Parkplätzen hielten und weitergeschickt worden seien, wie ein dpa-Reporter berichtete. Ansonsten sei es zunächst sehr entspannt gewesen.
An diesem Wochenende rechnen die Behörden erneut mit einem massiven Andrang von Tagestouristen in die mit Schnee bedeckten Gebiete im Sauerland oder in der Eifel. In der Corona-Pandemie sind viele Hänge, Skilifte und Rodelpisten aber wegen der Hygienevorschriften gesperrt. Auch die nötige Infrastruktur für Tagestouristen wie Parkplätze oder Toiletten sind gesperrt. So kündigte die Polizei des Hochsauerlandkreises am Freitag erneut verstärkte Kontrollen an. Unterstützt werden die Beamten dabei durch Hundertschaften der Bereitschaftspolizei und einer Reiterstaffel. Bereits am Samstagvormittag waren etwa 20 Fahrzeuge der Polizei vor Ort.
Der Deutsche Wetterdienst (DWD) kündigte am Samstag zwar kaltes, aber trübes Winterwetter an und warnte im Bergland vor glatten Straßen.

Die Bundesregierung sieht die Sperrung des Twitter-Kontos von US-Präsident Donald Trump kritisch. Die Betreiber sozialer Netzwerke trügen zwar Verantwortung dafür, dass die politische Kommunikation nicht mit Hass und Anstiftung zu Gewalt vergiftet werde, sagte Regierungssprecher Steffen Seibert am Montag in Berlin. Die Meinungsfreiheit als Grundrecht von elementarer Bedeutung könne aber nur durch den Gesetzgeber, nicht nach der Maßgabe von Unternehmen eingeschränkt werden. Deswegen sehe Kanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) es als problematisch an, dass die Konten des US-Präsidenten dauerhaft geschlossen worden seien.
Biden nominiert William Burns als neuen CIA-Chef
Der künftige US-Präsident Joe Biden hat den früheren Diplomaten William Burns als neuen Chef des Auslandsgeheimdienstes CIA nominiert. "Bill Burns ist ein vorbildlicher Diplomat, der über jahrzehntelange Erfahrung auf der Weltbühne verfügt, um unser Volk und unser Land zu beschützen", erklärte Biden am Montag nach Angaben seines Übergangsteams. Burns soll den Posten von Gina Haspel übernehmen, die seit 2018 als erste Frau in der Geschichte der CIA den mächtigen US-Auslandsgeheimdienst leitet.
Burns habe die Erfahrung und das Geschick, Anstrengungen der gesamten Regierung und auf der ganzen Welt zu bündeln, um sicherzustellen, dass die CIA in der Lage sei, das amerikanische Volk zu schützen – ganz gleich, "ob es um Cyberangriffe aus Moskau, die Herausforderung durch China oder die Bedrohung durch Terroristen und andere nichtstaatliche Akteure geht", hieß es weiter.

Sebastian Vettel will drive for Aston Martin in the 2021 Formula One season, with the marque benefiting from a Mercedes engine he is relishing the chance to compete with Lewis Hamilton
Sebastian Vettel says he is 'excited' to be using the same Mercedes engine as Lewis Hamilton as he goes up against the seven-time Formula One champion in 2021. Vettel will drive for Aston Martin, and will benefit from having the power unit that has dominated F1 in recent years.
The 33-year-old German driver endured a disappointing 2020 season, finishing 13th overall.
Having signed for Aston Martin, he hopes racing with a Mercedes engine will help him compete on a more level playing field with Hamilton.
Hamilton has not yet committed to driving for Mercedes again this season after equalling Michael Schumacher's record number of championship titles and bettering his tally of race wins.
But Vettel is relishing the chance to challenge the supremacy of his British rival.

"I am really looking forward to the new challenge. I can't wait to get started," Vettel told F1 Insider, cited by GP Blog.
He said of the Mercedes engine: "Of course, I'm really excited to see how it feels."
Vettel has raced for Ferrari since 2015, but failed to add to his four world titles while with the famous marque.
"I don't want to miss them, but I'm someone who prefers to always look forward," he said.

Vettel has a job on his hands to challenge Hamilton, who was once again by far the best driver on the grid last season.
But amazingly he's the only driver on the grid not signed up for next season with just a matter of weeks before teams begin unveiling their new-look liveries.
Drivers are usually pulled out for photo opportunities with their new cars with last year's Mercedes W11 being unveiled mid-February.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff has remained calm about Hamilton's contract situation despite no deal having been signed as yet.
However, he did set a deadline for an agreement to be made before pre-season testing begins in March.
"We are not worried about eventually getting it done," he said last month.
"We are not putting a special date to it because we don't want to be under pressure.
"Sooner or later it needs to be done and at the latest before we go testing [ahead of the 2021 season]."

Joe Biden to propose 8-year citizenship path for immigrants

WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Joe Biden plans to unveil a sweeping immigration bill on Day One of his administration, hoping to provide an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal status, a massive reversal from the Trump administration's harsh immigration policies.
The legislation puts Biden on track to deliver on a major campaign promise important to Latino voters and other immigrant communities after four years of President Donald Trump's restrictive policies and mass deportations. It provides one of the fastest pathways to citizenship for those living without legal status of any measure in recent years, but it fails to include the traditional trade-off of enhanced border security favored by many Republicans, putting passage in a narrowly divided Congress in doubt.
Expected to run hundreds of pages, the bill is set to be introduced after Biden takes the oath of office Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the legislation and granted anonymity to discuss it.
As a candidate, Biden called Trump´s actions on immigration an "unrelenting assault" on American values and said he would "undo the damage" while continuing to maintain border enforcement.
Under the legislation, those living in the U.S. as of Jan. 1, 2021, without legal status would have a five-year path to temporary legal status, or a green card, if they pass background checks, pay taxes and fulfill other basic requirements. From there, it's a three-year path to naturalization, if they decide to pursue citizenship.
For some immigrants, the process would be quicker. So-called Dreamers, the young people who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children, as well as agricultural workers and people under temporary protective status could qualify more immediately for green cards if they are working, are in school or meet other requirements.
The bill is not as comprehensive as the last major immigration overhaul proposed when Biden was vice president during the Obama administration.
For example, it does not include a robust border security element, but rather calls for coming up with strategies. Nor does it create any new guest worker or other visa programs.
It does address some of the root causes of migration from Central America to the United States, and provides grants for workforce development and English language learning.
Biden is expected to take swift executive actions to reverse other Trump immigration actions, including an end to the prohibition on arrivals from several predominantly Muslim countries.
During the Democratic primary, Biden consistently named immigration action as one of his "day one" priorities, pointing to the range of executive powers he could invoke to reverse Trump´s policies.
Biden allies and even some Republicans have identified immigration as a major issue where the new administration could find common ground with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and enough other GOP senators to avoid the stalemate that has vexed administrations of both parties for decades.
That kind of major win - even if it involves compromise - could be critical as Biden looks for legislative victories in a closely divided Congress, where Republicans are certain to oppose other Biden priorities that involve rolling back some of the GOP´s 2017 tax cuts and increasing federal spending.
As a candidate, Biden went so far as to say the Obama administration went too far in its aggressive deportations.

Arsenal have been warned against making signings in the January transfer window.
Arsenal decision-makers Edu and Mikel Arteta have been urged not to make any January signings because they are unlikely to significantly upgrade their team in the opinion of John Barnes. That's despite apparent interest in the likes of Isco, Julian Brandt and Emiliano Buendia as the Gunners look to bolster their attack.
Despite Emile Smith Rowe's recent breakthrough into Arteta's starting eleven, Arsenal still want a new playmaker to improve their creativity in the final third.
And Real Madrid's Isco, Borussia Dortmund attacker Brandt and Norwich creator Buendia are all on the radar this month as Arsenal try to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.
But Liverpool legend Barnes insists Arsenal should avoid doing any business this month, feeling that they should instead wait until the summer to buy fresh talent.
"Are Arsenal going to get players better than they already have? I don't think they will," Barnes said to BonusCodeBets.co.uk.
DON'T MISS: Arsenal star Bukayo Saka sent warning over potential long-term problem
"They can go and make signings but they need players who can improve the team to make them better rather than bringing in players in for the sake of it.
"What they need to do is get rid of the players that are on big contracts and then think about how they can improve the squad with the money and salaries they have available after they've moved on one or two players on and make a much better effort next year with their good young players.
"To make signings now and spending money on players that may not improve the team seems pointless.
"Arsenal have played well in their recent games and won matches because they have always had the potential to do so.
"Now what Arteta needs is time, belief and support from everyone and things can change.
"I'm pleased for Arteta because he's a good manager and Arsenal are a good team and the club has backed him."
However, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano says that Arsenal manager Arteta is expecting to be backed with another signing this month.
Romano wrote for CBS Sports: "While Arsenal are planning for future signings, they are also thinking about making some sales in this window.
"After left-back Sead Kolasinac, 27, officially agreed to rejoin Bundesliga minnows Schalke, the focus has shifted toward selling Greek center-back Sokratis Papastathopoulos and German midfielder Mesut Ozil.
"The German midfielder has been offered to Juventus in recent weeks, but the Bianconeri have refused because they are betting on Dejan Kulusevski as a future talent in that role.
"Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expects a quality midfielder in January as a reinforcement."
The Spanish coach said earlier this month: "Well, we have a large squad, we knew that and a lot of things we wanted to do in the summer, we couldn't accomplish for different reasons.

"There are some players that are going to go on loan, they are going to leave, and that's the priority at the moment.
"We cannot sustain the numbers that we have in terms of substitutions. We are looking to do that and then we will see if we have the right opportunities in the positions that we need some more help. We are working with the club to find that.
"We need to be careful with that, but obviously financially, it's not only only us, it’s every club in the Premier League who has been hit with big numbers.
"We know that this is not going to change from the last year or so and we are going to have to add some of how we want to improve the team in different ways financially.
"We will decide whether it's a loan or buying players in relation to the opportunity that we have in the market."

A gamer who found a way to compete against the world’s casino giants from a co-working desk in Perth has purchased one of WA’s most expensive properties of 2020.
Laurence Escalante, founder of Virtual Gaming Worlds, bought an apartment on the South Perth Esplanade last month for $7.5 million.
The luxury four-bedroom home in the Prestige Apartment complex was the equal sixth most expensive property sale of 2020.
The new home marks a major step up the property ladder for the father of four, whose last housing purchase was a three-by-one house in Como, which he bought for $870,000 in 2016.
The notoriously private entrepreneur, who was recently included in the Young Rich List with an $919m fortune, runs online casinos in the US.
Virtual Gaming Worlds has the only legal online casino in all 50 States in the US, operating inside the world’s largest social network Facebook, with payouts made through PayPal.
The 38-year-old former financial planner got the idea for the business after playing the World of Warcraft video game with his friends and wishing they could play for the chance to win prizes.
Mr Escalante developed VGW from a Spacecubed co-working desk on St Georges Terrace in 2010, working with US sweepstakes and gaming lawyers to ensure it complied with American law.
He launched Chumba Casino, which initially offered only slots games, two years later.
The business ingeniously exploits a complex loophole in US trade marketing law, which deems his online business as a trade promotion rather than a lottery.
Players buy virtual currency that come with free sweepstakes credits that can be redeemed for US dollars via PayPal.
In 2016 his business expanded to include Global Poker, which is now one of the most popular sites for US poker players.
According to information on his website, VGW currently offers more than 30 games, including table games like blackjack and roulette
His business, which is headquartered at a new office on William Street, claims to have more than 400 staff working across the globe.
The company made a $72m profit last year with a revenue of $780m, with the profits enjoyed by several hundred shareholders.
With analysts estimating the firm is worth $919m, the company is on the cusp of becoming a unicorn — a startup whose value reaches $1 billion.
Mal Dempsey, director of Dempsey Real Estate, who sold the luxury home, said the whole floor apartment cost about $26,500 per sqm.
The complex, which includes four apartments, was built by Palazzo Homes in 2013 but Mr Escalante’s apartment had never been lived in.

Man Utd boss Solskjaer fires warning to players ahead of Manchester City showdown

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told his players become addicted to winning trophies.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told his players become addicted to winning trophies.
The evidence of three semi-final defeats last season might not fill Manchester United fans with optimism ahead of tonight’s Carabao Cup last four clash tonight. Particularly against a side in Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City who have exerted a vice-like grip on this trophy for three seasons and for five of the last seven years.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer believes the new season has brought a new United to the table, one who will make history rather than repeat it.
And a squad who can become addicted to the “drug” which fuels serial winners.
It is with some justification the United manager insists his side are a different and more ruthless animal than the one beaten in those three semi-finals.
Against City in this competition, Chelsea in the FA Cup and Sevilla in the Europa League ‘United 2020’ side came up short albeit by what Solskjaer insists were “fine margins”.
“Sometimes losing is about fine margins and sometimes it’s about quality. But we we are a better team now than we were six months back or 12 months back,” he said.
“Now we want to go one step further. Speaking from experience, when I won the first league at Man Utd, it can become a drug – celebrating with your team mates on the pitch with a trophy.
“It becomes a thing, you become addicted to winning.
“We have added some players in our group that hopefully can give us that extra edge in the semis compared to last season.”
It is arguable whether United have taken a step forward from last season given they responded to Champions League disappointment by drawing level with Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.
But City in a one-legged semi final at an empty Old Trafford will present a useful litmus test of where they stand.
“You have two teams who want to get to the final,” he said. “And you could see with City against Chelsea on Sunday, the freshness and sharpness and intensity they played with after the break they had - it showed.”
Three wins from the last five matches in recent derbys bolsters Solskjaer’s confidence and a cagey goalless stalemate in December showed there is not much between the two.
“That last game showed two teams with respect for each other,” said the United manager.
“They're not as much possession based against Chelsea, they were more counter attacking, they’ve got quick players on the break so we've got to be aware of that as well as their possession game.
“You never know what kind of system he's going to come up with but you know you've got to defend really well against Man City.
“When we have the ball we have to be able to keep it, play out of their press because they're one of the quickest to put the counter pressure on and win the ball high up.
“So it’s a balance. We've found that balance. We didn't have the X factor last game. I think we've improved immensely in a year since the last semi against City and even when we were in Europe in August.”

Gelsenkirchen – Ein Senioren-Ehepaar aus Essen hat keinen Anspruch auf eine sofortige Corona-Schutzimpfung. Das Verwaltungsgericht Gelsenkirchen lehnte am Montag einen entsprechenden Eilantrag der beiden 84-Jährigen ab.
In dem Beschluss stellten die Richter klar, dass die beiden Senioren auf die Öffnung des regionalen Impfzentrums und die Freischaltung der Telefonnummer für die Terminvergabe warten müssten.
Der Argumentation der Antragsteller, dass es vonseiten der Stadt Essen rechtswidrig sei, zunächst alle Bewohner von Pflegeheimen und das dort tätige, jüngere Personal zu impfen, folgte die 20. Kammer des Gerichts nicht. Die Richter betonten, es bestehe ein Anspruch auf Impfung nur im Rahmen der Verfügbarkeit der vorhandenen Impfstoffe. Es stelle keine ungerechtfertigte Ungleichbehandlung dar, dass innerhalb der Gruppe der Hochbetagten der Impfstoff zunächst primär in Pflegeheimen eingesetzt werde. Das Schutzbedürfnis dort sei ungleich höher als für über 80-Jährige, die noch in häuslicher Umgebung wohnten.
Die Richter verwiesen auf Erkenntnisse und Empfehlungen des Robert Koch-Instituts. Menschen in Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen sei es nicht gleichermaßen möglich, zum Eigenschutz die Kontakte so weit wie möglich zu reduzieren, erklärten sie. Menschen im eigenen Haushalt hingegen seien deutlich weniger Kontakten ausgesetzt.
Zudem sei die Kommune nicht der richtige Adressat für ein entsprechendes Begehren, erläuterten die Verwaltungsrichter. Die Terminvergabe für eine Corona-Impfung erfolge in NRW nicht durch Städte, Kreise oder Gemeinden. Vielmehr habe sich das Düsseldorfer Gesundheitsministerium die Konkretisierung der Priorisierungs-Empfehlungen der Ständigen Impfkommission ausdrücklich selbst vorbehalten.
Gegen den Beschluss kann Beschwerde beim Oberverwaltungsgericht NRW in Münster eingelegt werden.

Yıldırım Belediyesi’nin 2021 yılı meclis toplantısı yapıldı. Toplantıda Mollaarap Mahallesi’nde yaşanan heyelânın ardından yaşanan süreç gündeme gelirken, Başkan Oktay Yılmaz, ilk günden beri vatandaşın yanında olduklarını belirterek, “Onlara taşınma, kira desteği sağladık. Fakat bu sadece bizim uhdemizde olan bir konu değil. Burayla ilgili gerekli dosyayı hazırladık, Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı’na da sunduk, riskli alan ilân edilmesini bekliyoruz” dedi. Koronavirüs tedbirleri altında toplanan meclisin açılış konuşmasını yapan Başkan Yılmaz, aralık ayı içinde belediyenin gerçekleştirdiği çalışmalar hakkında meclis üyelerine bilgi verdi. 2023 yılının Cumhuriyet’in kuruluşunun 100’üncü yılı olduğunu, Cumhuriyet’in ise bir istiklâl mücadelesi verilerek kurulduğunu belirten Yıldırım Belediye Başkanı Oktay Yılmaz, “İstiklâlin sözünü ve ruhunu temsil eden millî kahramanlarımızdan Mehmet Akif Ersoy’un kaleme aldığı İstiklâl Marşı’mız ise 12 Mart 1921 yılında Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi tarafından kabul edilmişti. TBMM, 2021 yılını İstiklal Marşı’nın kabulünün 100’üncü yılı olması münasebetiyle ‘İstiklal Marşı Yılı’ ilân etti. 2021 yılı Cumhuriyetin hangi şartlar altında, hangi fedakârlıklar üzerine kazanıldığını birlikte hatırlayacağımız, kahramanlarımızın hikâyelerinde medeniyetimizin değerlerini dile getireceğimiz bir yıl olacak” dedi. Başkan Yılmaz’ın davetinin ardından ise bütün meclis ayağa kalkarak hep birlikte İstiklâl Marşı’nı okudu. 2021 yılının aynı zamanda Sarıkamış Harekâtı’nın 106’ıncı yıl dönümü olduğunu da hatırlatan Başkan Oktay Yılmaz, “Bizlerde Yıldırım Belediyesi olarak bu anlamda 1522 Aralık 1914’te Sarıkamış Harekâtı'nda hayatını kaybeden 78 bin şehidi anmak ve Sarıkamış'ta halen vatani görevini sürdüren askerlere moral ve motivasyon desteği vermek amacıyla ‘Bursa'dan Mehmetçiğe Vefa' faaliyeti düzenledik. Destanın 106’ıncı yılında 106 hatim okuttuk, 106 mektubumuzu da burada bulunan Sarıkamış Derneği’ndeki arkadaşlarımızla Sarıkamış’a göndereceğiz, bu hatırayı da yad etmiş olacağız” diye konuştu. Siyasî değil, teknik bir karar Öte yandan, Başkan Yılmaz toplantıda muhalefetin eleştiri ve sorularını da cevapladı. Mollaarap Mahallesi’nde yaşanan heyelân ardından bölgenin bir vâkıfa tahsisi ile ilgili iddialar üzerine Başkan Yılmaz şunları söyledi: “Bizim böyle bir niyetimizin olmadığını, böyle bir gündemin olmadığını defalarca söyledik. Biz göreve geldiğimizin ilk günlerde Mollaarap Mahallesi’ndeki 2. etapta bir sıkıntı yaşamıştık. Biz o süreçten beri vatandaşımızın yanındayız. Onlara taşınma desteği sağladık, kira desteği sağladık, başka sıkıntıları oldu yanlarında olduk. Fakat bu süreç sadece bizim uhdemizde olan bir konu değil. Bu sürecin AFAD tarafı var, Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı tarafı var, Büyükşehir tarafı var. Bütün bu taraflarla birlikte karar vermek gerekiyor. Bu karar sadece bizim vereceğimiz bir karar değil. Bunu da defalarca belirttik ve bütün paydaşlarla beraber bu sürece eğildik. Bu sürecin de takipçisi yine doğal olarak biziz. Şu anda şöyle bir karar vermek doğru değildir; ‘Buraya konut yapalım’, ‘Buraya konut yapmayalım.’ Bu karar siyasi bir karar değil, bu karar teknik bir karardır. Çünkü vereceğimiz bu karar sadece o bölgeyi değil o bölgenin altındaki mahalleyi de ilgilendiriyor, üst mahalleyi de ilgilendiriyor. Burada oluşacak bir afet sadece orayı değil sağını, solunu, altını, üstünü her tarafı etkileyecek. Buna işin uzmanları cevap versin diye bekliyoruz ve bu süreci takip ediyoruz. Evet süreç uzamış olabilir ama salgın sürecinde bu işlerin çok yavaş yürüdüğünü de dikkate alalım. Bu noktada biz yine konunun takipçisiyiz, AFAD da takip ediyor. Biz şu anda burada periyodik ölçümler yapıyoruz. Az da olsa bir hareketliliğin devam ettiğini de görüyoruz. Burayla ilgili gerekli dosyayı hazırladık, Bakanlığa da sunduk, riskli alan ilan edilmesini bekliyoruz. Ama bu süreçte evini satmak isteyen vatandaşlarımıza da imkân tanıdık. Bu da bir imkândır. Kimseyi zorlamıyoruz. Şu anda alanın yüzde 30’unda oturan vatandaşlarımızla, hemşehrilerimizle anlaşarak satın alma işlemi gerçekleştirdik. Bunu belediyemizin bütçesinden yaptık. Bu süreçte farklı alternatiflere yönelmek isteyen hemşehrilerimize imkân tanıdık. Ve dedik ki; ‘Satın aldığımız yerlere konut vs. yapmayacağız.’ Bunu başka bir tarafa çekmeye gerek yok.”

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is facing calls to make some changes in the January transfer window.
Liverpool transfer chief Michael Edwards reportedly has two prerequisites when looking at players to bring in during the January transfer window. Liverpool's 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Monday has led to further demands for the Reds to bring in more defensive cover this month.
Both Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips have stepped up in recent weeks to play alongside Fabinho, who is currently the only fit senior centre-back at the club.
But Klopp opted to drop Jordan Henderson into defence, forcing a reshuffle in midfield against Southampton.
The change didn't pay off though as Liverpool looked lacklustre against a Saints side who had been struggling for form over Christmas.
Liverpool are now without a win in three games which has included draws against Newcastle and West Brom.
JUST IN: Liverpool hero Barnes disagrees with Carragher over transfers
And Klopp is still set to be without Joel Matip for another few weeks, including potentially the big fixture at home to Manchester United a week on Sunday.
Ever since both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez were ruled out for several months, Liverpool have faced increasing calls to bring in a centre back in January.
A number of players such as Dayot Upamecano, David Alaba and Sven Botman have all been touted as potential targets.
But The Athletic's James Pearce reports that Liverpool have a stringent plan when it comes to making moves in January and a new centre-back is more likely to join in the summer.
DON'T MISS
Speaking on The Athletic's Red Agenda podcast, Pearce said: "They very rarely go in for short-term fixes.
"From what I've been told, Liverpool are only interested in making a defensive signing this month - firstly if the price is right - and secondly if he's a player they believe can fit in for the longer term.
"Not just someone who can just do a job until Van Dijk or Gomez are back, but someone who will actually enhance and compliment what they've got for seasons to come.
"I think the feeling is that it's going to be easier to get someone like that in the summer.
"But, quite rightly, fans are worried about the here and now and not recruiting in January could end up proving very costly in terms of the Premier League and the battle for Champions League glory this season."
Liverpool will be hoping to get back to winning ways on Friday when they travel to face Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round.
The Reds suffered a shock 7-2 defeat on their visit to Villa Park earlier in the season and Dean Smith's side have proven a tough team to beat so far.
They currently sit eighth in the table - above both Chelsea and Arsenal - and could climb into the top four with their games in hand.

Gelsenkirchen (dpa) - Der ehemalige Schalke-Profi Youri Mulder hatte nicht mit einem Engagement von Christian Gross bei den schwer kriselnden Königsblauen gerechnet. «Ich wusste nicht, dass er noch aktiv ist und es war schon eine Überraschung, dass er als neuer Trainer vorgestellt wurde», sagte Mulder «sportbuzzer.de» (Samstag). Der 51 Jahre alte Niederländer erklärte, dass es Gross nun gelingen müsse, dass die Mannschaft des FC Schalke 04 mutiger spiele.
«In jüngster Vergangenheit ging es bei Schalke immer um Gegenpressing und das Spiel gegen den Ball, alles nur defensiv. Das Wort Gegenpressing kann ich nicht mehr hören. Nur wenn man in den Sechszehner des Gegners kommt, kann man Tore schießen», sagte Mulder.
Die Schalker sind in der Fußball-Bundesliga seit 30 Spielen saisonübergreifend sieglos. Sollten sie am (heutigen) Samstag (15.30 Uhr/Sky) daheim gegen die TSG 1899 Hoffenheim erneut keinen Drei-Punkte-Erfolg schaffen, würden sie den Negativrekord von Tasmania Berlin einstellen.
«Dieser Rekord ist in der aktuellen Situation nicht ausschlaggebend. Es geht einfach darum, endlich wieder ein Spiel zu gewinnen», sagte Mulder. Die Mannschaft brauche nur einen glücklichen Moment, «einen abgefälschten Fernschuss, der das Blatt wenden kann».

Tottenham are the first team through the Carabao Cup final after their 2-0 win over Championship side Brentford. Manchester United and Manchester City will compete for the remaining spot in the other semi-final. Having won the competition for the last three years running, Pep Guardiola's side are the favourites to lift the trophy once again.
The City boss said: "My team won three times in a row.
"A semi-final for a fourth time in a row means a lot. If it would not be important we would have dropped it before.
"We cannot expect it to be more difficult than it should be with the rival we are going to face.
"United was above Manchester City and for us it is an incredible honour to be, over the last decade, there with them: sometimes win, most of the times, and lose some times."

"The next game is always important but of course a semi-final is a chance to get to the final, to get your hands on a trophy in the next round and for this team it would be a very, very big step getting your hands on a trophy," said Solskjaer.
"We've developed a lot in the last six months, last 12 months since the last semi in the Carabao Cup so of course it's not just learning to win semis.
"We've also earned the right to feel we can go all the way with our performances.
"We are confident, we are going into the game with good form so there's no excuses."
The Carabao Cup was originally scheduled for Sunday, February 28.

But the EFL announced in December it was moving the Wembley showpiece to Sunday, April 25 in the hope that fans might be able to attend.
A statement read: "This season’s Carabao Cup Final has been rescheduled and will now take place on Sunday 25 April 2021, with a 4pm kick-off.
"It is the objective of the League to stage the Final with as many supporters in attendance as possible and the decision has therefore been taken to move the Final from its original date of Sunday 28 February 2021 to later in the year.
"The number of fans permitted will be dependent on Government guidance in place at the time and it is hoped that moving the date to later in the year will give Clubs and their fans the best opportunity to attend in person."

Manchester City transfer news is coming thick and fast at the moment, as the January transfer window officially opens. Express Sport has all of the latest confirmed deals at Man City, as well as who Pep Guardiola could sign this month, and who could be leaving the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City have had a relatively inconsistent first half of the season, but despite a few awkward weeks earlier in the campaign, are now set to push for the Premier League title once again. Could Pep Guardiola decide to splash this cash this month?
City have had a season of two halves, so far. The start of the campaign was marred by disappointing performances.
Defeats to Leicester City and Tottenham, as well as a shock draw with Leeds United, left Guardiola's side in mid-table.
But after the arrival of Ruben Dias at the end of the summer transfer window, City's fortunes turned around, and they now have one of the best defences in the top flight.
After the success of Dias's transfer, manager Guardiola may feel like it's time for more new faces at the Etihad Stadium.

But the City boss has played down talks of signing a new striker this month.
Both Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus have missed matches this season, which meant that either Ferran Torres or Kevin de Bruyne have been forced to play in the centre-forward role.
"No I don't think so," said Guardiola, when asked if City will buy a new striker in January.
"The economic situation around world is what it is. All the clubs struggle - we are not an exception."

One of the greatest players of all time - if not, the greatest player of all time - has been constantly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium to link up with Guardiola.
The Argentine can leave the Nou Camp for free at the end of the season, and Barcelona may choose to sell now to cash in on their No 10.
Kingsley Coman, Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman has reportedly been one of Guardiola's top targets over the past 12 months.
After the arrival of former City star Leroy Sane earlier this year, Bayern may finally decide to sell Coman.
Taylor Harwood-Bellis, loan
City youngster Taylor Harwood-Bellis has been hotly tipped for a big future at the Etihad.
But in search of first-team football, the Citizens are reportedly willing to let the defender leave on a short-term loan deal.
Eric Garcia, Barcelona
Spanish centre-back Eric Garcia has long been linked with a move to Barcelona, and he could finally get his wish this month.
Garcia has turned down a contract extension at City, and he could leave the club on a free transfer this summer.
But Guardiola may choose to sell the youngster to Barcelona this month instead of letting him leave for nothing.

Manchester United star Donny van de Beek has been largely sidelined this season.
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has told Donny van de Beek there are seven players competing with him for a spot in the first-team. The Netherlands international was signed from Ajax for around £35m in the summer transfer window from Ajax but has failed to make an impression so far.
Van de Beek has been told by Solskjaer why he has had such limited time in the starting XI so far, naming seven players he is competing with.
The Dutchman was brought in from Ajax in the summer for a fee of around £35m.
But there were question marks over whether he was needed or not after joining a stacked midfield and his game-time has been affected as a result.
In fact, the 23-year-old has started just two matches in the Premier League - one of which he was hauled off at half-time.
It has been a tough time for the midfielder so far this season and he is not expected to be part of the squad that takes on Manchester City later today.
But Solskjaer has told the Netherlands international to be patient, outlining how Fred and Victor Lindelof had similar starts to life at Old Trafford.
"Donny has played well when he has had the chance," Solskjaer said. "I think we are too quick sometimes to jump on, 'oh he’s not playing, it’s a failure', but you know we can see now.
"For example, with Victor [Lindelof] and Fred, as examples, that it takes a little bit of time and now they are massively important players in our squad, in our team, which will be the same with Donny."

The Norweigan also revealed how Van de Beek is battling with a number of players for a spot in his team.
He added: "He has come in, he is in a midfield group there with quality, challenging with Bruno, Juan [Mata], Jesse [Lingard].
"I have loads of tens, loads of central midfielders with Paul [Pogba], Nemanja [Matic], Scott [McTominay] and Fred, and Donny has done well when he has come in.

"He is always ready, he always works hard in training, positive and he will make differences in many games for us this season but he will grow more and more for next year."
Van de Beek was coy when asked about his lack of opportunity at United so far this season, insisting he is happy to be benched.
“It sounds cliché for me to say this, because of course I would have liked to play more, but I really enjoy being in a nice team,” he said in November.
“I am simply received very well and helped by everyone.
“I’m a patient person, but of course you go there to play as much as possible.
“I also think – in the minutes that I have made, in the times that I have come in – I have shown that I can add something to the team.”

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio city on Tuesday was mourning a police officer who died after an hourslong armed standoff ended in gunfire and also claimed the life of a suspect, police said.
Toledo Police Officer Brandon Stalker, 24, was shot and killed Monday when Christopher Harris, 27, emerged from a home with "a firearm in both hands and fired shots in multiple directions," police said.
According to police, multiple officers returned fire and shot Harris. Both men were pronounced dead at a hospital.
"The entire Toledo Police family is in shock. Another hero has paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting the residents of Toledo," said Police Chief George Kral.
Stalker leaves behind a fiancée and a child. He had joined the police department in July 2018.
Kral said the standoff started about 4 p.m., when officers noticed a man with warrants out for his arrest in connection to cathedral vandalism smoking outside a home in a residential neighborhood.
Officers approached the man, who fled brandishing a firearm and entered a nearby home. Police set up a barrier and a SWAT team was called in.
Negotiators had tried for hours to get the suspect to surrender peacefully.
Police then used tear gas to force him out. He exited holding two guns, firing. Police shot back, striking Harris. One of the suspect´s shots hit Stalker in the head, Kral said.
Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz said his city´s department "has had to endure too many dark and terrible days in the last six months," with the July on-duty killing of 26-year-old Officer Anthony Dia and the unexpected death of an officer just a few weeks ago.
"This has been a very difficult time," Kapszukiewicz said. "It is a very difficult day for the city."
Gov. Mike DeWine ordered flags to be flown at half-staff.
Police said they would provide an update later on the standoff.

Bursa'da Hanım Taşdemir adlı kadın, 28 yıllık eşinin verdiği böbrekle hayata bağlandı. Hanım Taşdemir’in, geçmeyen bel ağrılarına son yıllarda şiddetli baş ağrıları da eklendi. Birçok hastanede beyin cerrahisinden psikiyatriye kadar gitmediği doktor kalmayan Taşdemir, beyin ameliyatı dahi geçirdi. Ancak şikayetleri geçmediği gibi şiddetli ağrılar Hanım Taşdemir’in hayatını iyice çekilmez hale getirdi. 5 ay önce böbrekleri de iflas edince diyalize başladı. 28 yıllık eşinin çektiklerine dayanamayan Abdurrahim Taşdemir, böbreklerini bağışlamak istedi. Nakil için Acıbadem Bursa Hastanesi Organ Nakli Merkezi’ne başvurdular. Üroloji Uzmanı Prof. Dr. Bülent Oktay ve ekibinin başarıyla gerçekleştirdiği böbrek nakliyle Hanım Taşdemir yıllar sonra ilk kez ağrısız bir hayatın mutluluğunu yaşadı. Yaklaşık 15 yıldır bel ağrısı çektiğini belirten 5 çocuk sahibi Hanım Taşdemir, "Şiddetli ağrılarıma hiç geçmeyen mide bulantıları da eklenmişti. Bir yudum su bile içemiyordum. Sürekli titriyordum. Bir haftada beş kez acil servise kaldırıldığım oldu. Oradan oraya yönlendirdiler. Kimi tansiyona bağladı, kimi ise psikiyatriste gitmemi söyledi. Beyin cerrahisi, fizik tedavi, iç hastalıkları, psikiyatri derken birçok ilaç kullandım. Hatta beyin ameliyatı bile oldum. Ancak şiddetli ağrılarım bana mısın demiyordu, gözümü açamaz hale gelmiştim" dedi. Hanım Taşdemir, "Gittiğimiz başka bir hastanede, geçen yıl Aralık ayında beyin ameliyatı olmam gerektiği söylendi. Hatta o sırada oğlumuza kız istemiştik. Muş’tan Bursa’ya gelin getirecektik. Beyin ameliyatımı oğlumun düğününden bir hafta sonraya aldım. Düğünde de şiddetli ağrılarımdan dolayı, 'ya bayılırsam', 'ya ambulans çağırmak zorunda kalırsak' diye endişe içindeydim. Neyse ki idare edebildim. Düğünden sonra ameliyat oldum. Ama hiçbir iyileşme hissetmedim. 5 ay önce de böbrek yetmezliği teşhisi konuldu. Haftada iki gün diyalize giriyordum. Çocuklarım ve eşim böbreklerini vermek istedi. Eşim 'Sen olmazsan biz zaten iyi olmayız. Gerekirse iki böbreğimi de veririm' deyince daha fazla direnemedim" diye konuştu. Böbrek nakli için kendilerine başvuran Hanım ve Abdurrahim Taşdemir çiftinin birlikte ameliyat masasına yattığını belirten Acıbadem Bursa Hastanesi Organ Nakli Merkezi’nden Üroloji Uzmanı Prof. Dr. Bülent Oktay ve ekibi, bininci böbrek naklini Hanım Taşdemir’e başarıyla gerçekleştirdi. Prof. Dr. Bülent Oktay, “Hanım Taşdemir’e eşinin böbreğini başarıyla naklederek ameliyatı gerçekleştirdik. Hastamızın nakil sonrası değerleri hızla düzeliyor. Abdurrahim beyin de sağlığında hiçbir problem yok. Böbreğini vermiş olmasından dolayı bir sağlık sorunu da olmayacak. Ülkemiz canlı vericiden organ naklinde dünya ile yarışıyor. Ama maalesef ülkemiz, kadavradan nakilde son sıralarda. Bursa bölgesi olarak biz, kadavradan bağışlarda Avrupa ortalamasına yakınız. Ancak salgın ile birlikte bizim bölgemizde de kadavradan bağışlar azaldı. Dünyayla birlikte ülkemizi de derinden sarsan korona virüs salgınının organ nakline engel olmadığını vurgulamak istiyorum. Salgın sürecinde de organ nakli başarıyla gerçekleştiriliyor” şeklinde konuştu.

Biden picks transgender woman as assistant health secretary

WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Joe Biden has tapped Pennsylvania Health Secretary Rachel Levine to be his assistant secretary of health, leaving her poised to become the first openly transgender federal official to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.
A pediatrician and former Pennsylvania physician general, Levine was appointed to her current post by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf in 2017, making her one of the few transgender people serving in elected or appointed positions nationwide. She won past confirmation by the Republican-majority Pennsylvania Senate and has emerged as the public face of the state's response to the coronavirus pandemic.
"Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic - no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability - and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond," Biden said in a statement. "She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration´s health efforts."
A graduate of Harvard and of Tulane Medical School, Levine is president of the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. She's written in the past on the opioid crisis, medical marijuana, adolescent medicine, eating disorders and LGBTQ medicine.
Biden and his transition team have already begun negotiating with members of Congress, promoting speedy passage of the president-elect's $1.9 trillion plan to bring the coronavirus, which has killed nearly 400,000 people in the United States, under control. It seeks to enlist federal emergency personnel to run mass vaccination centers and provide 100 immunization shots in his administration´s first 100 days while using government spending to stimulate the pandemic-hammered economy,
Biden also says that, in one of his first acts as president, he'll ask Americans to wear masks for 100 days to slow the virus' spread.
Levine joins Biden's Health and Human Services secretary nominee Xavier Becerra, a Latino politician who rose from humble beginnings to serve in Congress and as California´s attorney general.
Businessman Jeff Zients is Biden's coronavirus response coordinator, while Biden picked infectious-disease specialist Rochelle Walensky to run the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Vivek Murthy as surgeon general and Yale epidemiologist Marcella Nunez-Smith to head a working group to ensure fair and equitable distribution of vaccines and treatments.
The government's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, will also work closely with the Biden administration.

Köln (dpa/lnw) - In Nordrhein-Westfalen liegen nach Daten des Robert Koch-Instituts (RKI) mittlerweile fünf Regionen über der Schwelle von 200 Corona-Neuinfektionen pro 100 000 Einwohner in sieben Tagen. Den höchsten Wert unter den 53 Kreisen und kreisfreien Städten in NRW wies am Samstag mit 250,7 die Stadt Gelsenkirchen auf, wie aus den RKI-Zahlen hervorgeht. Dahinter lagen der Oberbergische Kreis mit 242,6, der Kreis Höxter (240,3) sowie die Stadt Bielefeld (204,1) und der Kreis Recklinghausen (203,7).
Die Zahl der Neuinfektionen, die dem RKI innerhalb eines Tages gemeldet wurden, lag am Samstag bei 4302. Zudem übermittelten die Gesundheitsämter dem RKI 160 weitere Todesfälle.
Die Kreise und kreisfreien Städte, in denen die Zahl der Neuinfektionen innerhalb von sieben Tagen pro 100 000 Einwohner über der Marke 200 liegt, können im Einvernehmen mit dem NRW-Gesundheitsministerium zusätzliche Schutzmaßnahmen anordnen. Im Landesdurchschnitt lag die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz am Samstag bei 142,4. Den niedrigsten Wert wies der Kreis Coesfeld mit 66,6 Fällen aus.
Eine Interpretation der Daten bleibt aber schwierig, weil um Weihnachten und den Jahreswechsel Corona-Fälle laut RKI verzögert entdeckt, erfasst und übermittelt wurden.

＜Ｍｅｅｔ ＳＴＥＡＭ＞ ドラえもんをつくるために ＡＩ研究者・大澤正彦さん

ドラえもんをつくりたい−。記憶もないほど小さなころに抱いた夢を追い続けるＡＩ（人工知能）研究者、大澤正彦さん（２８）。夢を笑われることもありましたが、大学で出合った「研究」と、「仲間」が目標に向かう大きな力になったそうです。 （聞き手・河原広明）
−どんな研究を。
ＡＩの中でも、特に人と深くかかわるＨＡＩ（エイチエーアイ）（ヒューマン・エージェント・インタラクション）という技術です。漫画「ドラえもん」に出てくるドラえもんに似た小型ロボ「ミニドラ」のようなロボットをつくる研究をしています。
−どうしてＨＡＩなのか。
賢いロボットをつくるだけではドラえもんができないと分かってきたからです。完璧なロボットは「邪魔者」として、カメラを手でふさがれるなど人から「いじめ」を受ける可能性もあるのです。では、例えば「ごみを自動で拾うロボット」を、ごみのそばでモゾモゾして拾えないように設計するとどうでしょうか。なんと周りの人がごみを拾って捨ててくれるのです。このようにロボットと人間が協力して問題を解決していく技術がＨＡＩ。のび太たち人間と協力するロボットのドラえもんにぴったりの考え方なのです。
−これまでの歩みは。
小学生のころにロボットをつくり始めました。高学年から電子工作、工業高校でプログラミング、大学でＡＩを学び、今はＨＡＩ。何をつくればドラえもんができるのか、その時点の考えに合わせて対象が変わってきたように思います。すべてが自分の蓄積となっています。
−大人に夢を笑われ、ドラえもんを好きだったことすら忘れていた時期もあるとか。再び夢に向き合うきっかけは。
一つは大学で研究に出合ったこと。夢を語るだけでは、誰も本気にはしてくれない。でも、研究は「今、世の中にないものを生み出すための論理を考えること」。笑われたときに「こう考えたら、こうなるから、つくれるはずですよね」と言い返す武器になりました。同じ時期に本当に信頼できる仲間に出会ったことも大きい。自分の夢を自然に認めてもらえて、胸を張って語れるようになりました。
−「なりたい職業」ってありましたか。
なかったです。小さいときはそれに葛藤していました。「ドラえもんをつくりたいだけなのに『何になりたいのか』と言われても分からない」と。大学に入って会社員や大学教員、起業家などを検討しましたが、それぞれの環境や制約を考えると絶対にドラえもんはつくれないと思い、次に「どこで何を変えればいいか」と考えました。今、大学教員として教員の活動の仕方を変えようとしています。「まだ社会にない職業」を「今ある職業」の進化形として生み出すことにしました。だから今はドラえもんをつくるために「なりたい職業をつくり中」です。

三歳でクラシックバレエを始めました。後になって母に「あなたが『やりたい』と言ったのよ」と言われ、三歳の自分にそんな意志があったのかと驚きました。
母は芸事が好きで、生演奏だったのが気に入ったみたいで、教室に通わせてくれました。バレエのほかに水泳や習字、ピアノを習わせてくれました。父も発表会に来てくれましたが、二人とも、特に何も言わない。私の意志を尊重してくれていたのか、言っても聞かないと思っていたのか、私の好きにさせてくれました。干渉しない両親の態度は、昔も今も変わりません。
宝塚歌劇のことは中学三年生まで知りませんでした。忘れもしない二学期の始業式の日です。宝塚にはまっていた同級生が、背が高くてバレエをやっていた私に目を付けて「宝塚やって」と言ってきた。「意味が分からない。無理」って感じだったんですが、彼女が持っていた雑誌を見た瞬間「私はここに入る」と思ったんです。
帰宅して「宝塚に入る」と告げました。「宝塚って関西の兵庫にあるのよ」「そこどこ」「受験があるのよ」「だれでも入れるんじゃないの」。家族とはそんな会話が続きました。声楽の試験もあることが分かり、そこから習い始めです。「ち...

Tottenham star Pierre-Emile Hojbjgerg has forgiven Josh Dasilva for his challenge on Tuesday.

Tottenham star Pierre-Emile Hojbjgerg has forgiven Josh Dasilva for his challenge on Tuesday.
Tottenham midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjgerg has sent a message to Josh Dasilva following the Brentford star's red card tackle on him in Tuesday's Carabao Cup semi-final. Dasilva was given his marching orders by referee Mike Dean for a strong challenge on Hojbjerg which left the Spurs ace with a nasty cut on his shin. Tottenham won the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min and will play Manchester United or Manchester City in the final at Wembley in April.
Referee Dean didn't initially give the red card but after consulting with VAR and reviewing the incident on the pitchside monitor, he sent former Arsenal academy star Dasilva off with under 10 minutes of the match remaining.
Hojbjerg reacted angrily to the tackle when he saw the extent of the damage to his leg.
The Denmark international was substituted by Jose Mourinho in order for him to receive some treatment.
After the game, Dasilva tweeted that he will learn from the incident.

The 22-year-old wrote: "Anyone that knows me, knows it was never intentional.. will learn from this."
Hojbjerg quote tweeted Dasilva's message and accepted that there was no intent in the challenge.
Hojbjerg responded: "Of course you didn’t mean it. So don’t worry. I’m a viking and I am fine. But... You owe me a new shin pad."
"You have a great future ahead @joshdasilva_.
"Be strong & keep working hard.

"Best of luck to you and your team.
"Big hug, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg."
Brentford boss Thomas Frank also insisted there was no malicious intent from Dasilva.
"Maybe it could be given but if you know Josh Dasilva I don't think he even got a yellow card before," Frank told Sky Sports.
"I've never seen him go in physically into a tackle. He definitely didn't do it on purpose. I think he slipped and he caught him so that's it."
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp said it was undoubtedly a red card but also defended Dasilva.
Redknapp said: "Do I think it’s a red card? Yes, because he has endangered an opponent. But does he mean it? Absolutely not.
"I think he's got the skill and he almost tries to chop it between his legs. But then almost loses control of his body and his right leg comes out. If you stop [the replay] it on the contact, it’s horrendous.
"But did he mean to do it? No. Most of the players I've played football with, if they're right-footed, you tackle with your right foot.
"He's left-footed so he wouldn't even need to tackle with his right foot. If you look at his [Hojbjerg] leg and it’s a right mess.
"But I don't believe for one second that Josh Dasilva has meant to do him but it looks really bad I get that."

アニメ映画「鬼滅（きめつ）の刃（やいば）」の人気が衰えません。鬼という日本古来の空想の産物を取り上げていることも、琴線に触れているのではないでしょうか。鬼はひどい仕打ちに遭い暗い情念を抱いた人間が姿を変えたもの、との見方もあります。コロナ禍により広がる苦境で、鬼たちを生みかねない要因が増えはしないか、心配です。
鬼は「今昔物語」はじめ古典、「桃太郎」などのおとぎ話、来月の節分などの行事等で、広く親しまれてきました。西洋の悪霊や悪魔などに比べ、鬼は土着で人間に身近なイメージがあります。
菅原道真の怨霊
歌人である馬場あき子氏は著書「鬼の研究」（ちくま文庫）で鬼の系譜を神道由来、仏教由来、山伏や天狗（てんぐ）はじめ修験道由来などの五種類に分類します。
特に、人間の生活に結び付いた鬼として、人生体験の後に自ら鬼となった者や、怨恨（えんこん）、憤怒、雪辱などをエネルギーとして、復讐（ふくしゅう）を遂げるために、鬼となることを選んだ者たちを挙げます。
人間が鬼に転化した例をたどってみます。
受験シーズンたけなわです。受験生らが頼みとするのが学問の神様、天神様こと菅原道真です。しかし、道真は最初から神だったわけではありません。
道真は平安前期の貴族。代々学者の家系でしたが、官僚の道へと進み、政権大幹部の右大臣にまで上り詰めますが、時の権力者、藤原氏にねたまれ中傷されて、大宰府（福岡県）に左遷され、失意のうちに亡くなります。
没後、長年にわたり都を豪雨や雷が襲い、皇室や藤原氏では急死が相次ぎました。道真の怨霊とされ、道真は鬼の一種というべき雷神になったと恐れられました。
鎮めるため天皇は道真に太政大臣の位を贈り、名誉を回復しました。道真の死後、九十年たっていました。
憤怒と怨みを温床に
馬場氏は、日本人離れした「長大、かつ、強烈な憤怒と怨（うら）み」と驚きをもって表現します。貧しく苦しんでいた民衆の道真に対して抱いていた同情が、藤原氏専制に対する憤りに転化したゆえの伝説だった、と指摘します。
鬼は日本古来である一方で、鬼を生む温床であるとされる「憤怒と怨み」は、人間に普遍的なものです。
馬場氏は、チェコの作家カフカの小説「変身」も、鬼の物語だと見立てます。主人公グレゴール・ザムザは家族のため仕事に追われた末、毒虫に変わり果てます。異形の姿になって初めて、失っていた自己を取り戻し、その強烈な自己主張のため人間社会に存在を許されなくなったことは、鬼に通じるものがあるというのです。
「鬼滅の刃」にも、悲惨な人間の前世を持つ鬼たちが数多く登場します。ある少年は父親の薬代のため盗みを重ね何度も処罰されますが、恩人に救われ、その娘と婚約します。しかし、父娘とも惨殺され、鬼になります。
鬼は人に害をなしますが、鬼以上に憎むべきは、人を鬼化へと追い込む社会です。
鬼たちが跋扈（ばっこ）していた古典の世界は遠い昔になりました。しかし、今の日本でも、鬼を育むという「憤怒と怨み」は、藤原氏専制を思わせるような一強政治や、社会保障を切り詰め自助を強調する新自由主義などの弊害で、くすぶり続けています。そして、コロナ禍が追い打ちをかけます。特に、弱い立場の人たちを直撃しています。
野村総研の推計によると、仕事が半分以下に減り、休業手当も支払われない「実質的失業者」のパート・アルバイト女性は九十万人に上ります。その六割以上が「この先生きていくのが難しい」と感じることが増えたといいます。孤立して、行政の支援も届きにくくなっています。
「鬼滅の刃」で、苦境にもくじけず、仲間を信頼して鬼と対峙（たいじ）するのが鬼殺（きさつ）隊の剣士らです。
弱き人を助ける責務
最高位の「柱」の一人、煉獄杏寿郎（れんごくきょうじゅろう）は、「弱き人を助けることは強く生まれた者の責務です」との母親の言葉を信念に、人々を守ります。
国会答弁で「鬼滅の刃」のせりふ「全集中」を引用した菅義偉首相ですが、杏寿郎の信念をこそ肝に銘じ、細やかな目配りで手を差し伸べるべきではないか。
感染にピリピリするあまり差別や中傷も目立つなど、社会から寛容さも失われつつあるようです。ここにも鬼の萌芽があります。自戒しなければなりません。
鬼は泣くともいわれます。
「鬼哭啾々（きこくしゅうしゅう）」−鬼の泣き声がしくしくと聞こえる凄惨（せいさん）なさまを、中国・唐代の詩人、杜甫はこう表現しました。コロナ禍で、鬼哭がこだまするような社会にしてはなりません。

With no sector-specific support, thousands of hair and beauty businesses are on the brink of closure for good

With no sector-specific support, thousands of hair and beauty businesses are on the brink of closure for good
On Tuesday the Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a further £4.6bn worth of support for businesses in the hospitality and leisure sectors, in light of the lockdown announced by Boris Johnson on Monday evening.
However beauty industry groups have hit back at the finance plan, saying the measures don’t go far enough for the hair and beauty sector, who have endured an extending lockdown in 2020 and no sector-specific support.
“These one-off grants and will have to last longer than a month, as it doesn’t cover the fixed costs that many salons face,” Millie Kendall, chief executive of the British Beauty Council, tells the Telegraph. “The fact is time and time again there is no proper consideration of the overheads a salon has.
"We have documented it and shared it with government, but we have just received countless letters back responding with the list of measures made available to non-essential retail,” adds Kendall. In an exclusive Telegraph survey with the Local Data Company, it was revealed last month that 4,587 salons have already closed in the UK for good.
Part of the frustration is that hair and beauty salons can’t transition their services to online, unlike retail shops. Says Kendall, “we have a much more labour intensive format, we are appointment based, so these packages are not fit for purpose.”
The beauty industry has been particularly hard hit by the Covid-19 crisis, with therapists and salons incurring huge financial losses due to closures and lost bookings, coupled with restricted government support for the thousands of therapists that are self-employed, as well as larger salon owners.
“Thousands of UK beauty businesses have once again been forced into closure as a result of Monday’s announcement of another national lockdown,” says Lesley Blair, Chair of the British Association of Beauty Therapy & Cosmetology (BABTAC).
“The news is devastating to the beauty industry with recent surveys and research confirming that many businesses are literally teetering on the edge after being closed for at least five months out of the last ten, some even longer.
“Without further support, this lockdown will cripple thousands of businesses that have not yet recovered from the impact of last year. We urge the government to ensure that additional financial support is made available for the industry, as it is imperative for its survival.”

Spagna, allerta rossa per la tempesta di neve "Filomena": la più forte in cinquant'anni

Allerta rossa in tutta la Spagna per la tempesta di neve Filomena che ha bloccato tutto il Paese, mandando in tilt gli aeroporti e le strade del Paese. Cinquanta scuole sono state chiuse.
La nevicata, la peggiore degli ultimi 50 anni in Spagna, ha messo in allarme rosso cinque regioni del centro del Paese. Prima fra tutte, la regione di Madrid dove sono state sospese le corse degli autobus pubblici e la raccolta rifiuti e dove l'aeroporto internazionale di Barajas è stato chiuso da ieri per "motivi di sicurezza". Venerdì una trentina di voli sono già stati cancellati e quasi altrettanti devono atterrare altrove.
"Oggi è stato difficile, ma domani lo sarà ancora di più. Il municipio di Madrid lavorerà sodo, ma abbiamo bisogno che tu resti a casa", ha twittato il sindaco di Madrid José Luis Martinez-Almeida in un video postato poco prima di mezzanotte.
La neve ha interrotto il traffico su quasi 400 strade, secondo l'autorità dei trasporti. L'agenzia per la sicurezza e l'emergenza della regione di Madrid ha detto di aver "lavorato tutta la notte per aiutare" gli automobilisti bloccati e "liberato 1.000 veicoli", chiedendo ad altri di "rimanere pazienti".
Nella città, che non era coperta da un tale manto nevoso dal 1971, si sono viste scene insolite: sciatori nella famosa piazza Puerta del Sol, bambini sugli slittini sotto le mura cittadine o persino un uomo trainato da cinque cani su una slitta.
Avila, Spagna. https://t.co/XNO66hkHBX— Jeanne Perego Schimpke (@jeperego)
Oltre a Madrid, l'Aragona, la regione di Valencia e quella di Castiglia-La Mancia e la Catalogna sono state le zone più colpite dalla tempesta. Secondo l'agenzia di previsioni meteorologiche Aemet, sabato a Madrid e sull'altopiano centrale del Paese cadranno ancora 20 centimetri di neve e fino a 50 centimetri potrebbero coprire le zone più alte di questa parte del Paese. Le temperature potrebbero scendere fino a -12 gradi.

帰還した特攻隊員たちが口々に「鬼参謀」と評していた元参謀（少佐）の倉沢清忠氏（一九一七〜二〇〇三年）とはどんな人だったのだろうか。
陸軍の特攻隊で、出撃後に機体不良などで帰還した隊員たちを収容した振武寮（福岡市）を大学院時代から研究してきた私は、倉沢元参謀の人物像にもっぱらの関心があった。
記録作家の林えいだいさん（一九三三〜二〇一七年）が倉沢元参謀から聴き取った長時間に及ぶインタビューテープを聴くと、林さんの質問に元軍人らしくあまり喜怒哀楽を交えず、てきぱきと答えてはいるが、すでに八十六歳の倉沢元参謀は年相応のしゃがれた声で、戦争当時を淡々と話す様子が印象的だった。
音源から目に浮かぶのは、鬼参謀と聞いていた姿とは全く違う「普通のおじいさん」像でしかなかった。ただ、記憶力はものすごく良く、言葉に詰まる場面はほとんどない。わりと気さくにも話していることから、うそをついているようにも思えなかった。
倉沢元参謀は、陸軍士官学校、陸軍大学校卒のエリート軍人で、軽爆撃機パイロットだった。一九四〇（昭和十五）年の紀元二六〇〇年記念行事では、昭和天皇の前で編隊飛行を披露したという腕前だったことか...

THE POUND to euro exchange rate has tumbled, trading lower this morning as a result of negative sentiment following the declaration of a third national lockdown. What does this all mean for your holidays and travel money?

THE POUND to euro exchange rate has tumbled, trading lower this morning as a result of negative sentiment following the declaration of a third national lockdown. What does this all mean for your holidays and travel money?
The pound to euro exchange rate traded "in a very tight range" yesterday, experts said. This came as markets struggled for "direction." New data out today is unlikely to much impact GBP.
Experts predict sterling will go on to "take its lead from shifts in risk appetite."
The pound is currently trading at 1.1072 against the euro, according to Bloomberg at the time of writing.
Michael Brown, currency expert at international payments and foreign exchange firm Caxton FX, spoke to Express.co.uk regarding the latest exchange rate figures this morning.
“Sterling spent most of Tuesday stuck within a very tight range against the common currency," said Brown.

"Markets more broadly struggled for direction, likely with investors nervous ahead of the Georgia Senate runoffs overnight.
“Today, this morning’s PMI surveys shan’t be of much interest, hence the pound will likely continue taking its lead from shifts in risk appetite.”
So what does all this mean for your holidays and travel money?
Post Office Travel is currently offering a rate of €1.0679 over £400, €1.0834 for over £500, or €1.089 for over £1,000.
With lockdown now in full swing for the third time, travel is yet again off the cards, so travellers are urged to wait to exchange holiday money.
James Lynn, co-CEO and co-founder of travel debit card Currensea, shared his travel money advice.
"If you have got hold of foreign currency in cash, I’d recommend keeping it in a drawer if you can afford to do so.
"The exchange rate has already hit the pound badly because of the third lockdown and if you go on a holiday later in the year you’ll be hit again converting your money back into the currency you need."
Lynn continued: "This could mean you lose 10-20 percent of the value due to fees.
"To avoid this scenario, minimise the amount of cash currency you take out before travelling and use a travel debit card instead."
He also advised travellers with holidays booked in the next two months.
"If you have a holiday booked before February half-term it’s unfortunately very unlikely that this will go ahead due to the newly announced third lockdown.
"My advice would be not to cancel your trip, however, but to move your flight to a later date such as in March or April, or even the Summer when travel might be possible.
"This could save you a lot of cash if you booked your original flights in the last few months when they were good value due to the uncertainty of the current situation."
Lynn went on: "Just think of how much travel costs will increase when it is announced that travel is safe again and everybody is desperate to get away!
"This is also helpful for the struggling travel industry as they can learn when you rebook and better understand when demand will come back and ensure they are prepared for things to go back to normal.
"In the worst scenario, if the situation continues as it is now, if you have used a provider with good policies, you should be able to claim a refund three days in advance of your trip."

大空に飛行機を見つけた少年は父親にこう言った。「大人になったらパイロットになる」。父親は答えた。「黒人はパイロットになれない」▼「じゃあ野球選手になる」「黒人は野球選手になれない」。父親の言葉にも少年は野球選手を目指し、やがて野球の神様ベーブ・ルースを超える選手となった。通算本塁打七百五十五本。ブレーブスの強打者ハンク・アーロンさんが亡くなった。八十六歳▼黒人リーグ時代はバットを逆に握っていたそうだ。右打者の握りは右手が上にくるが、この人は左が上。それでも打てるほど手首が強かった▼「ルースの本塁打記録を追いかけることは最高の喜びとなるはずだったが、最悪だった」と書いていた。白人のルースの記録を黒人が塗り替えるのは許せない。そう考える人々がいた。「引退しろ」「キング牧師は早死にした」。届いた九十万通の手紙。大半が脅迫や嫌がらせだった▼その手紙を捨てなかった。それを見て記録更新の励みとした。自身の苦い経験からだろう。王貞治選手がアーロンさんの通算本塁打記録を抜いた時、一切、ケチをつけず、称賛した。アーロンが認めた。当時の日本の少年にはそれがどれほどうれしかったことか▼練習の人だった。差別や憎悪にも心を乱さず、努力する。なるほど偉大な野球選手であると同時に人々の水先案内人（パイロット）になっていた。

日本政府は二十二日に発効した核兵器禁止条約への参加を拒む理由として、北朝鮮の核戦力強化を挙げる。米国の「核の傘」に依存し続け、北朝鮮の非核化は進んでいない。そんな情勢を打破し、日本が条約に参加するための道筋として研究者らは「北東アジア非核地帯構想」を提唱しており、被爆地などからは政府に検討を求める声が上がっている。 （木谷孝洋）
■５地域で成立
非核地帯構想は、特定の地域の国々が核兵器の開発や配備をしないと約束し、地域外の核保有国には核攻撃をしないよう求めて非核化を実現する考えで、賛同する国々は非核地帯条約を結ぶ。東南アジアやアフリカ、中南米など五つの地域で成立しており、核兵器禁止条約もこうした非核地帯の国が推進した。
北東アジアの構想は冷戦終結後の一九九〇年代以降、朝鮮半島の非核化を議論する中で、日米両国の研究者から提唱されてきた。南北軍事境界線上にある板門店（パンムンジョム）から半径二千キロ以内を非核化する案などが議論されてきたが、現在、最も有力なのは「スリー・プラス・スリー」案だ。

Despite election loss, Uganda's Bobi Wine wins growing power

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Ugandan presidential challenger Bobi Wine has emerged from last week's disputed election as the country's most powerful opposition leader after his party won the most seats of any opposition group in the national assembly.
It's a major achievement for a party that's barely six months old and almost didn't make it on the ballot when it was accused by government officials of being an illegal entity. While longtime President Yoweri Museveni has been declared the winner of a sixth term, the rise of the 38-year-old Wine's party marks a generational shift.
"We set out to see change of leadership at all levels. We have not achieved the ultimate, but we are still on course. It's like felling a tree. You keep cutting, chipping away until the tree falls," said Joel Ssenyonyi, spokesman for Wine's National Unity Platform.
Removing Museveni through voting, he added, "is not easy, but it's not impossible."
Wine, a singer-turned-lawmaker whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, now will decide who leads the opposition in Uganda's legislature after his party won at least 56 seats. That number could rise to 61 when final results are announced. But the ruling National Resistance Movement party still has over 300 seats, an absolute majority that means Museveni can move ahead with his agenda without negotiating with the opposition.
Wine's party, however, also will lead the influential oversight committees that long were dominated by an opposition group led by Kizza Besigye, who sat out this election amid Wine's meteoric rise.
"He has managed to write something new," Nicholas Sengoba, an analyst and newspaper columnist, said of Wine. "He has put a dent in the Museveni establishment. He has dented the narrative in Uganda that to be a national leader you must have a military background."
Museveni, a former guerilla leader who has held office since 1986, faced arguably his greatest election challenge yet from Wine. The 76-year-old president was able to run for another term, allowing him to extend his rule to four decades, after lawmakers in 2017 removed the last constitutional obstacle - age limits - to a possible life presidency.
For decades a U.S. ally on regional security, Museveni now finds himself increasingly at odds with an outside world he sees as hellbent on regime change. Wine has urged the international community, including the United States, to suspend the billions of dollars in foreign aid that he says props up a brutal regime.
Museveni, in response, has called Wine a foreign agent and says he will not tolerate interference from the international partners whose money helps his government provide important public services.
"The Bazungu. I don't want to be racist, but they are the ones who are mostly involved" in meddling, Museveni said in a televised address on Saturday after he was declared the election winner, using a Swahili word for white people. "Foreign meddling will not be tolerated."
On Monday, the U.S. ambassador to Uganda was blocked by security forces from visiting Wine at his home, which is surrounded by soldiers. Police say the deployment is to prevent Wine's presence in the public from inspiring riots after the disputed polls.
Museveni won Thursday's election with 58% of the vote while Wine had 34%, according to official results. That's Museveni's lowest share of the vote since his government first organized elections in 1996, when he won 75%.
Many members of Museveni's government, including the vice president, lost or failed to win parliamentary seats. Many of the losses were to candidates from Wine's party, which swept the central region that includes the capital, Kampala, as well as an enclave that once was the launchpad of the war that brought Museveni to power.
"If you have lost your mecca, then what next?" Adrian Jjuuko, an analyst who runs a local rights watchdog, told local broadcaster NTV, referring to Museveni's loss in Luweero district.
Wine insists he won the election and says he will prove allegations the military was stuffing ballot boxes, casting ballots for people and chasing voters away from polling stations. He has posted a video on Facebook purporting to show a police officer stuffing a box with ballots in an undisclosed location.
"I know many of you were brutalized for trying to record evidence of rigging, but those who succeeded, please send in the videos," Wine said on Tuesday. "The whole world must see Museveni for who he is - a shameless, ruthless election thief who is yet again trying to suppress the will of the citizens."
Museveni has dismissed allegations of vote-rigging. "I think this may turn out to be the most cheating-free election since 1962," when Uganda won independence from Britain, he said in his national address.
Wine, who is effectively under house arrest, can challenge the election results in Uganda's highest court. But judges in the past have been reluctant to rule against Museveni, dismissing allegations of irregularities as not being substantial enough to affect the overall election outcome.
A presidential candidate must launch any legal challenge to election results within 10 days of the declaration of final results.
Authorities continue to face questions about the authenticity of the election results, especially after the electoral commission on Monday acknowledged an account in the local media that results from over 1,000 polling stations had not been counted.
The commission, trying to meet a constitutional deadline, concluded that the vote difference between Museveni and his closest challenger, Wine, "would not be overturned by votes from the remaining 1,223 polling stations," it said.
The commission did not say how many uncounted ballots were affected. The Daily Monitor newspaper had reported that the vote-rich central district of Wakiso, widely seen as Wine´s stronghold, was the most affected.
The election was marred by violence ahead of polling day, with Wine and other opposition candidates detained and harassed, as well as an internet shutdown that remained in force until Monday, when access was restored for most Ugandans. Social media sites remain restricted.
The International Crisis Group, in an analysis, predicted trouble ahead for Museveni. "Many young people see Museveni as the face of an out-of-touch gerontocracy unable to meet the needs of the country's masses of unemployed," said the group´s Murithi Mutiga. "These frustrations, tapped adroitly by Wine, who made pursuing solutions to unemployment the centerpiece of his campaign, are likely to reverberate throughout the last years of Museveni's presidency."

【写真】お風呂が沸くまで全裸待機！徹底的な感染予防対策をしているという内博貴
内は「けいこをして来まして、心のどこかで『もしかしたら中止になるんじゃないか』という不安があったんですけどれども、無事に初日を迎えられるということで、ほっとしております。カンパニー、スタッフ、一丸となって最後までやり遂げられるように頑張る」と意気込み。室は「本番を迎えられるのは医療従事者の方々が日々戦ってくれているからだと思います。そういう気持ちを無駄にせず、今後も感染予防対策を気をつけて頑張りたいと思います」と思いを口にした。

一方の内は「家でも徹底してます」ときっぱり。「家に帰ると玄関で全裸になって、まず着ていた服を洗濯機に入れる。裸の状態でお風呂を沸かして、裸の状態でずっと待っている。玄関にもアルコール消毒を置いてます。家でも徹底してますし、ホントに気をつけてます。これでかかったら、仕方がない」と徹底的な対策を明かし、周囲を驚かせていた。
同舞台は、緊急を要する病気と戦う医者“ドクター・ブルー”にスポットを当て、突如として猛威を振るい始めた未知の感染症に挑む感染医や若き医師、さまざまな立場の医療従事者の日々の葛藤や奮闘ぶりを中心に、感染症に罹患した人々、患者を取り巻く家族や市井の人々を描くとともに、命の大切さ、感染症予防に対する新たな生活様式、これまでの生活を取り戻すための希望を模索する医療ヒューマンドラマ。

Müzik İnsanları Derneği işbirliğiyle organize edilen etkinlik kapsamında başvurular, müzisyenlerin gelir durumları dikkate alınarak değerlendirildi. İşsiz kalmış ve emekli maaşı vb. hiçbir geliri olmayan müzisyenlerin öncelikle tercih edildiği değerlendirme sonucu 98 müzisyenin projede yer almasına karar verildi. Proje kapsamında önceden belirlenmiş sabit bir ücret karşılığı müzikseverlere sanal ortamda konser verecek olan Bursalı müzisyenlerin konser kayıtları başladı.
