Udinese-Inter 0-0, i nerazzurri mancano l’aggancio al Milan in vetta
Corriere della Sera

Aggancio mancato. L’Inter a Udine non va oltre lo 0-0 e non approfitta della sconfitta in casa del Milan, sonoramente battuto dall’Atalanta. Gli uomini di Antonio Conte sono stati sempre in controllo del match ma l’intensità è stata scarsa, la fantasia pure e gli uomini migliori, da Hakimi a Lautaro e Lukaku, hanno sempre mancato di precisione: cross sballati, controlli mancati e scelte di tempo sbagliati. Come spesso le capita, l’Inter non riesce a segnare nel primo tempo, anche se sono comunque sue le occasioni migliori: un gol annullato per fuorigioco netto a Lautaro Martinez e un’altra chance per il Toro, che — dopo un clamoroso errore della difesa friulana — calcia e trova un vero miracolo di Musso. Da segnalare anche un gran tiro al volo di Barella che però finisce fuori. I ritmi non sono alti e così continuano anche nel secondo tempo, quando si registra anche una buona occasione di De Paul che, su assist di Pereyra, si mette in mostra con un destro a giro che finisce di poco a lato. Hakimi pasticcia sempre nei momenti decisivi, e nemmeno il triplo cambio di Conte (fuori Lautaro, Vidal e Young per Sanchez, Sensi e Perisic) fanno scattare la scintilla. Scatta invece Conte nei confronti dell’arbitro Maresca che alla fine lo espelle («Sei sempre tu!», gli urla Conte mentre esce dal campo). L’Inter si affloscia sotto la pioggia battente di Udine e torna a casa con l’amaro di un’occasione persa. (in aggiornamento)

Erfurt (dpa/th) - Thüringens Schäfer und andere Nutztierhalter können auch weiterhin Gelder für Schutzmaßnahmen gegen Wolfsangriffe erhalten. Eine entsprechende Förderrichtlinie sei um zwei Jahre bis Ende 2022 verlängert worden, teilte das Umweltministerium mit. Damit übernimmt das Land etwa die Anschaffungskosten für spezielle Schutzzäune und für sogenannte Herdenschutzhunde. Auch zahlt das Land unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen weiterhin Entschädigung für Schafe, Ziegen und andere Nutztiere, die im Zuge eines Wolfsangriffs gestorben sind. Zudem können Ausgaben für Tierärzte nach einem Riss übernommen werden. Die Förderregelungen gelten im Großen und Ganzen auch für Luchsangriffe auf Herden. Diese sind bislang jedoch eine absolute Seltenheit. Ende Juni vergangenen Jahres waren laut Monitoring-Berichts nur vier Einzeltiere in ganz Thüringen bestätigt. Wölfe haben in Thüringen im vergangenen Jahr laut Übersicht des Umweltministeriums rund 50 Schafe und Ziegen getötet. Für Risse, zu denen es im Dezember kam, liegen allerdings noch keine Auswertungsergebnisse vor. Im Jahr 2019 waren dagegen deutlich mehr als 100 Risse Wölfen zugeordnet worden. Den Rückgang der Angriffe führen auch die Umweltschutzorganisationen Nabu und BUND in Thüringen auf verbesserte Schutzmaßnahmen der Tierhalter zurück. Bislang ist nur ein kleines Wolfsrudel mit festem Revier in Thüringen bei Ohrdruf (Landkreis Gotha) nachgewiesen. Risstabelle 2020 Wolf- und Luchsmonitoring Thüringen 1.

We need to emerge from this Covid crisis with something positive, so why not a national drive on exercise?

Staggering that the Government encouraged us all to eat out in the summer, but there's been no national effort to make us exercise regularly
Staggering that the Government encouraged us all to eat out in the summer, but there's been no national effort to make us exercise regularly It is no secret that exercise and improving your overall health can help in the fight against Covid so why not use this lockdown period to give Joe Wicks a daily 9am slot on BBC One. I worry about the mental and physical health of children deprived of playing sport for at least another couple of months. Let’s face it, we are unlikely to see a full return to organised sport until the late spring, at best case scenario. A generation has lost almost a year of playing sport at a time in their lives when they can form lifelong habits such as regularly exercising. With our children locked down out of school it seems a perfect opportunity to put Wicks, or someone like him, on the BBC at the start of the school day, Monday to Friday, to lead a 30-minute exercise programme that can be done at home (by young and old). Not everyone has access to a computer, YouTube and decent WiFi. But almost everyone can watch the BBC so why not give just 30 minutes over to an exercise programme rather than another show about buying a house in Spain or more miserable news about the virus? It would be a great way to send a message that while the virus is dangerous, our long-term health and fight against corona involves making ourselves a little bit fitter. Anything is better than nothing. It is staggering that the Government encouraged us all to eat out in the summer, stuffing ourselves on cheaper restaurant menus, but there has been no national effort to make more of us exercise regularly. We need to emerge from this crisis with something positive so why not a national drive on exercise? It is one of the few things we are still allowed to do every day. I can understand why organised sport is banned at the moment but once again there are contradictions in lockdown. Kids are stopped from playing football on a Saturday afternoon but we are letting thousands of people fly into the country every day without testing and any serious checks at the airport. We shut one door, only to leave another ajar and let the virus in. My own opinion is that children will always want to play sport and when life returns to normal there will be a big appetite for cricket, football, golf and rugby again. But I would not want to be a young 17 year-old hoping for a professional contract or considering sport as a career. Their development will have been set back by a year of lockdowns. We also have a generation of children having to grow up very quickly and dealing with mental health challenges that we just did not have to worry about when I was a kid. I see it all the time now in youth sport. Perhaps it is just greater awareness around the issues, but I suspect it is deeper and a bit more serious than that. It will only get worse too over the next few weeks.

Supermarkets call for urgent intervention over NI food supplies

The UK’s supermarkets have told Government urgent intervention is needed to prevent more disruption to Northern Ireland’s food supplies. Chief executives of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Iceland, Co-Op and Marks & Spencer have written to Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove. Depleted shelves have been seen in several supermarkets in the early days of the new year as trade from Great Britain has been affected while firms adjust to new requirements on moving produce across the Irish Sea. Export health certificates are required for animal-based food products moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland as a result of the region remaining in the EU’s single market for goods. With Northern Ireland also applying EU customs rules at its ports, customs declarations are needed on products being shipped in from the rest of the UK. A UK Government spokesperson said: “A new dedicated team in Government has already been set up and will be working with supermarkets, the food industry and the Northern Ireland Executive to develop ways to streamline the movement of goods in accordance with the protocol.” Northern Ireland is following some of the EU’s rules to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland. It is part of the protocol which the UK agreed with Europe. The UK Government added: “The grace period for supermarkets and their suppliers is working well, goods continue to flow effectively between Great Britain and Northern Ireland and we are working intensively with industry as new requirements come in.” Hauliers are spending tens of thousands of pounds bringing empty lorries back to Northern Ireland after outbound deliveries, an industry spokesman has said. A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said, “A small number of our products are temporarily unavailable for our customers in Northern Ireland while border arrangements are confirmed. “We were prepared for this and so our customers will find a wide range of alternative products in our stores in the meantime and we are working hard to get back to our full, usual range soon.”

LGBT 中国の現実 告白巡る親子の葛藤を映画化 23日から新宿で上映

中国の若者が、同性愛者であることを親に伝えるまでの過程や葛藤を追ったドキュメンタリー映画「出櫃(カミングアウト)−中国LGBTの叫び」が二十三日から、東京都新宿区のK’s cinema(ケイズシネマ)で上映される。中国出身の房満満(ぼうまんまん)監督(31)は「もしあした、身近な人に打ち明けられたらどうするか、考える機会になれば」と話す。 (奥野斐) 一人っ子の多い中国では日本以上に親子の関係が深く、周囲からの結婚への圧力も強い。「親戚付き合いもあり、世間体を気にする人が少なくない」と指摘する房監督は、中国社会で苦悩するゲイの息子と父、レズビアンの娘とその母を、二〇一八年夏から約四カ月間撮影した。 地元の大学を卒業後、上海で学習塾講師をする二十六歳の息子は、半年ぶりの帰省で父にゲイだと告白する。十九歳の時にレズビアンだと母に伝えた三十二歳の娘は、以来受け入れてもらえずにいた。中国の同性愛者とその家族らが集まるイベントに母を連れ出し、互いの本音をぶつけ合う。 撮影したのは、房監督が中国出身の友人から同性愛者だとカミングアウトされたことがきっかけ。友人が同性パートナーと支え合っている姿をほほ笑ましく思う一方、親に告白できずにいることを知った。「LGBTなど性的少数者への認識は広まったが、身近な存在だからこそ、受け入れられないという人もいる。中国の現実と、親子の葛藤を自分のこととして感じてもらえたら」と話す。 房監督は〇九年、留学で来日。早大大学院でジャーナリズムを学び、現在は番組制作会社「テムジン」でディレクターをしている。映画は、一九年二月にNHK「BS1スペシャル」として放送された番組を再編集、「東京ドキュメンタリー映画祭2019」短編部門でグランプリを受賞した。 撮影中、房監督自身も若者二人の姿に勇気づけられた。「自分の中のマイノリティーの部分にどう向き合うか。親に受け入れられなくてもめげない二人の生き方は多くの人の励みになると思う」 上映時間五十四分。新型コロナの感染状況により上映日程は変更の可能性もある。

Nach Zwangspause fährt das Schiff von SOS Méditerranée wieder auf Mission ins Mittelmeer. Wo Gerettete hingebracht werden können, ist weiter unklar. MARSEILLE dpa | Inmitten der Corona-Krise ist die “Ocean Viking“ wieder ins zentrale Mittelmeer ausgelaufen, um in Seenot geratene Flüchtlinge zu bergen. Das Schiff der spendenfinanzierten Organisation SOS Méditerranée sei am Montag von Marseille aus in See gestochen, teilte die Organisation mit. „Wir blicken mit gemischten Gefühlen auf den bevorstehenden Einsatz“, sagte die politische Referentin der Organisation, Jana Ciernioch. „Wir sind erleichtert, dass wir nach fünf Monaten Blockade jetzt wieder retten können.“ Ende Dezember des vergangenen Jahres hatten die italienischen Behörden die „Ocean Viking“ wieder freigegeben. Sie hatten das Schiff zuvor am 22. Juli mit der Forderung festgesetzt, umfassend zum Beispiel mit Rettungsinseln nachzurüsten, falls es einen Notfall an Bord gibt. Zuvor waren die Helfer seit August 2019 im Einsatz gewesen, um in Seenot geratene Bootsmigranten zu retten. Die Bedingungen während der globalen Corona-Pandemie bringen Ciernioch zufolge allerdings auch Unsicherheiten für den Einsatz mit sich. Es sei weiterhin ungeklärt, wo die Menschen nach einer Rettung hingebracht werden könnten. „Es gibt keine wirkliche Lösung für die humanitäre Katastrophe im zentralen Mittelmeer“, kritisierte sie. Mit einer Petition habe die Organisation den deutschen Außenminister Heiko Maas (SPD) aufgefordert, sich während der deutschen Ratspräsidentschaft im zweiten Halbjahr 2020 für eine europäische Seenotrettung im Mittelmeer einzusetzen. Das Fazit: ernüchternd. „Wir haben nach wie vor keinen zuverlässigen solidarischen Verteilmechanismus innerhalb der EU für Menschen, die aus Seenot gerettet wurden“, sagte Ciernioch. Die Pandemie habe erste Ansätze dafür aus dem Herbst 2019 ausgebremst. Unklar, wieviele die Überfahrt nicht überleben Von Libyen aus wagen die Flüchtlinge die gefährliche Überfahrt über das Mittelmeer in das Gebiet der EU, teils in Schlauchbooten mit dünnen Wänden. Wie viele Menschen die Überfahrt nicht überleben oder von der libyschen Küstenwache zurück in das Bürgerkriegsland gebracht werden, kann nicht sicher beziffert werden.

The Masked Singer UK has revealed four of its 12 contestants – but the clues keep on coming for the remaining eight, including the mysterious Harlequin. Fans have been left absolutely baffled this series, as they try to figure out who’s behind the mask. The panel – Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora and Mo Gilligan – are no different, with them all admitting it’s a real challenge. So far, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Mel B, Martine McCutcheon and Glenn Hoddle have been unmasked but Harlequin’s identity still remains a mystery. Here’s what we know so far… What clues have been given about Harlequin? We first met Harlequin when she performed Diamonds by Rihanna in week two. Fans were also given some hints and clues about the famous face behind the mask, with the VT being seemingly being filmed at a palace, or at least a grand house. During the fourth week of the competition, more clues were given about who Harlequin could be. In the fifth week, Harlequin returned to perform Tracy Chapman’s Fast Car, in addition to sharing more clues about her identity. So, who could Harlequin be? Gabrielle Some fans have guessed singer Gabrielle, insisting they can recognise the star’s distinctive voice. However, it’s unclear about where the clues relating to royalty and the male lead in a musical would fit with her. Kym Marsh While many fans guessed Corrie star Kym was behind the mask, she recently denied the rumours. ‘Everyone asking if I am on masked singer. No sorry. Guess again guys xx’, she wrote. Could she be double-bluffing? Tracy Chapman Rita guessed Tracy Chapman, thinking she recognised the Fast Car hitmaker’s iconic voice. However, it might just be a shot in the dark for the panel on this one. Beverley Knight The clue about having to be ‘pushed’ on stage made Davina think it’s someone who hasn’t sung on stage for a while. She has also had a career in musical theatre. Beverley also has some references to royalty throughout her career. She released her song The Queen of Starting Over in 2007, and was awarded an MBE by Queen Elizabeth II. Macy Gray During the fourth week of the competition, Harlequin was saved by the panelists after delivering a touching performance of Nat King Cole’s Smile. Her voice – and clues given by the contestant – have led some to believe it could be American singer Macy Gray behind the mask. Harlequin teased that she has told stories throughout her career that have been ‘heard by people around the world’. ‘I can’t stop thinking Harlequin is Macy Gray,’ one fan stated on Twitter. ‘I was convinced that Harlequin is Gabrielle cos that voice is totally recognisable! But the clue package totally threw me off! Thinking it’s Macy Gray now??’ another said. The Masked Singer returns tonight at 7pm on ITV.

20 of the best January sales for summer holidays

From the Spanish Costas to idyllic Italian islands
From the Spanish Costas to idyllic Italian islands This will be the strangest ever January for the holiday sales. Normally it is a time when families start thinking about their summer break and tour operators and agents try to tempt us with discounts and special offers. That is still happening -–we’ve listed some of the better deals below. But this year it is harder than ever to work out whether we are being offered a bargain which we should snap up, or whether prices may drop further if we wait a little longer. Certainly – after a disastrous year in 2020 – the travel industry is desperate for bookings and some cash to refill their coffers. And my sense is that there is also a lot of pent up demand from people desperate to have something to look forward to. Perhaps too, stuck at home during lockdown, many of us have more time than usual to do our research. But, before you do jump in and book, there are a few things worth considering. First, remember that airfares and package holiday prices are not fixed. They vary according to demand. There may be a notional price, but with traditional sun and sand holidays this is usually set well above the expected selling price. So a “discount” is often a way of seducing you into thinking that you are getting a better deal than you really are. The same is true of “free” added extras or “free” child places. The latter generally represent a saving on the child's airfare and meals, since to qualify for the deal, children will be expected to share their parents' room. They can be good value, but be very wary of holidays in self-catering apartments. Such “free” places do not usually count towards room occupancy – so if, as a family of four booking an apartment and opt for a free place for one of your children, the other three in the family will have to pay extra "under-occupancy supplements". In some cases this can make your overall holiday price more expensive than if you were to pay an ordinary adult fare for the child. So check both pricing mechanisms before booking. Be cautious too about “low deposit” offers which allow you to book with only a very small deposit. They can be useful, especially if cash is short in the aftermath of Christmas, but they should not be seen as something which you could cancel later without taking too much of a loss. The small print on these offers nearly always requires you to pay the full deposit a few weeks later, and the contract will stipulate that this extra money is payable even if you decide to cancel. Despite these cautionary notes, do remember that by booking now you will certainly get the best choice of peak season holidays and that is worth something when the best accommodation in the most popular destinations, and flights at peak times, will surely book up quickly, despite the current uncertainties. These destinations – the main holiday islands in Greece, the Spanish Costas, Balearics and Canaries in particular – are also the safest bets to book since they are most dependent on British holidaymakers and will be keenest on tempting us back when the lockdowns lift. Finally, in the current climate we all have to accept that certainty is in short supply. Who knows what the situation will be with regard to the pandemic come summer. So make sure that you book with a bonded tour operator so that your money is protected if the company goes out of business. And I would recommend going with an Abta (abta.com) or Aito (aito.co.uk) member – the two organisations have a code of conduct and a dispute resolution service if things go wrong. Ryanair (ryanair.com), unsurprisingly, has come out with some of the cheapest flights this summer – though beware its incredibly strict new baggage allowance rules. Flights to Faro are some of their most tempting, going for £14.99 one way. Besides, if your sole plan is to laze on a beautiful beach on the Algarve, you hardly need to pack much anyway. Those looking for a bit more structure should take advantage of a Hays Travel (haystravel.co.uk) offer on a seven-night stay in the self-catered Pinheiros da Balaia Villas, starting from £292 per person. Flights included. The Costa del Sol has long been a popular choice with holidaymakers, with Marbella becoming a mecca for sunseekers each year. Look outside the usual line-up of beach resorts to Malaga, however, and you’ll be rewarded – this once slightly dowdy beach city has had a huge cultural revival in recent years. A seven night stay in the Santos Gran Hotel Miramar with easyJet Holidays (easyjet.com) costs from £946 per person, with an additional £150 discount in the January sale. Flights, breakfast and private transfers included. For those who like to go a little more off the beaten track, the Costa Brava is a rugged but no less beautiful alternative to the Costa del Sol. A seven night stay in the Salles Hotel & SPA Cala del Pi resort with EasyJet Holidays (easyjet.com) costs from £1,049 per person, with an additional £150 January sale discount. Flights, breakfast and private transfers included. Greece’s largest island has plenty of room for social distancing, and plenty of summer 2021 travel offers. The best we’ve seen is Scott Dunn’s holidays to Daios Cove (scottdunn.com), with bookings done before January 11 coming with up to £300 flight credit a discount of up to 40 per cent. Prices start from £1600 per person for a seven night all-inclusive stay. Flights and private transfers included. You can holiday on the Balearic island of Mallorca this year for less than £500 a head – Travel Supermarket (travelsupermarket.com) are running a seven night trip to Sun Club Eldorado, El Arenal, a three star all-inclusive, starting from £239 per person. Flights included. The most famed of all Spain’s costas, the Costa Blanca holds a glut of white, sandy shores to relax on. Ryanair (ryanair.com) is currently selling flights to Alicante, the costa’s best known city for £18.99 one way this summer. Italy’s Amalfi Coast is a deliciously beautiful summer proposition, marred only by the frequently premium prices hotels along the coastline command. Thankfully, some of the area’s most swish properties are currently available to book, if not for a song, then at least for significantly less than usual. British Airways (britishairways.com) is running trips to the Bellevue Syrene, a five star hotel in Sorrento, from £1600 for seven nights bed and breakfast. Flights included. Known for both beach resorts and ancient ruins, a summer holiday in Rhodes this year is looking incredibly affordable: Thomas Cook (thomascook.com) are running a week’s all-inclusive package holiday to Evita Bay this summer, starting from £180 per person (for two adults and two children). Flights included. Ibiza, usually known as something of a party island, should be returning with a slightly calmer look this year thanks to a number of Covid rules cracking down on the island’s more hedonistic offerings. Take advantage of the peace with Scott Dunn’s (scottdunn.com) seven-day holiday to the luxury Nobu Hotel, starting from £1900 per person – a further 20 per cent discount and a complimentary three-course lunch will be added to this rate. Flights, breakfast and private transfers included. The largest island in the Med, Sicily, is awash in azure blue waters that should hopefully be back open to Britons this summer. Better still, Belmond, one of the last words in luxury hotels, has not one, but two of its Sicilian properties on sale at the minute. A seven-night holiday with British Airways (britishairways.com) to the Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo, Sicily starts from £1825 per person, while the same length of stay to the Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea (offer here) starts from £1681 per person. Breakfast and flights included. The historic, sun-lashed archipelago of Malta is an ideal choice for both a cultural break and a beach focused holiday. British Airways Holidays (britishairways.com) are offering a seven night stay in the five-star Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, starting from an incredible £517 per person. Flights included. The Canary Islands look like a good bet for a summer holiday this year, with the islands no doubt champing at the bit to get tourism up and running again. Trailfinders (trailfinders.com) are offering a seven-night trip to the five star Ritz Carlton in sunny Tenerife, with prices starting from £599 per person. Breakfast and flights included. Get a taste of Spain’s Catalonia region on the Costa Dorada – the golden coast – an area known for its calm waters and family-friendly appeal. Travel Supermarket (travelsupermarket.com) are offering a seven night all-inclusive stay in the four star Hotel Oasis Park hotel, from from £292 per person. Flights included. Have a five-star stay on the glamorous island of Mykonos, without the five-star price: British Airways (britishairways.com) are offering a seven-night stay at the Ammos Hotel for £552 per person. Flights and breakfast included. Those angling for a long-haul trip might want to chance a holiday to Florida, to be some of the first international visitors back into Disney World. Virgin Holidays (virginholidays.co.uk) are offering a seven-night trip to the five-star Rosen Shingle Creek hotel in Orlando from £690 per person. Flights included. In general, there are some incredible Orlando offers to be snapped up this month. Tui (tui.com) has several generously discounted trips available: a seven-night trip to Disney’s Beach Club Resort starts from £1512 per person, one to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge starts from £1649 and one to Disney’s Yact Club Resort starts from £1503. All prices will have a further £300 knocked off the price with code ‘sale’. Holidaymakers’ hopes of a Croatian holiday never came to fruition last year, but this year may see the country open up its borders again to tourists. If so, Dubrovnik will be one of the top destinations for visitors – steal a march on the inevitable competition for hotels, with Scott Dunn’s seven night trip to Sun Gardens Dubrovnik (scottdunn.com). Prices start from £1400 per person, but those booking before January 31 will get a 20 per cent discount. Flights and private transfers included. As always, some of the best deals to be had can be found in Turkey, which should have a speedy summer opening to tourists this year, if last year was anything to go by. One of the best deals we’ve seen comes from Thomas Cook (thomascook.com), which is offering a week, all-inclusive for adults and two children in Bitez Garden Life – a family run hotel on the Turquoise Coast – for £190 per person. For something more luxurious, a seven-night all-inclusive stay in the five star Labranda TMT Bodrum is also available from Travel Supermarket (travelsupermarket.com) from £279 per person. Flights included. Verdant Corfu is as rich with offers as it is olive trees. EasyJet Holidays (easyjet.com) are offering a seven-night all-inclusive stay in the Roda Beach Resort & Spa, from £617 per person with an extra £100 off in the January sale. Flights included. Don’t fancy all-inclusive? Thomas Cook (thomascook.com) has a deal going on a week’s stay at the Ccb Bruskos Hotel, with seven nights room-only going for £111 per person. Pricey Santorini – the Greek island with reputably the best sunset in the world – is ever so slightly more affordable if booked this month. British Airways Holidays (britishairways.com) are offering a seven-night stay in the Canaves Oia Epitome in their honeymoon suite, which comes with its own plunge pool and prime view of the aforementioned sunset. Prices from £2104 per person, with flights and breakfast included. A travel corridor with New York was said to be coming late last year, but has been postponed due to the UK’s recent surges in infections. This may still happen in time for a summer holiday however, and in anticipation Travel Supermarket (travelsupermarket.com) are offering a seven-night stay in the Hotel Riu Plaza in New York Times Square from £659 per person. Flights and breakfast included.

There was division. “People didn’t directly disagree with the performance but there was a conversation about if it was really necessary. I saw it happen in my own household. “And there are people who normally talk to me but suddenly we haven’t spoken at all. Silence says a lot.” Ashley was bombarded with abuse from the public after the performance aired in September, and he is still getting hundreds of taunts every week. He said: “I am getting negativity left, right and centre. It’s happening all the time. Every day people just make digs. “Before Dancing On Ice starts I’ll get messages saying, ‘Just so you know before you go on… you’re useless’. They do it to knock you. It makes me sad. "These people use their day just to give you a dose of negativity. And I get hundreds of those messages every week. “But the people who are saying rubbish haven’t got the guts to come and say it to my face.” Defiant Ashley refuses to let the backlash stop him making a stand for things he believes in. He added: “The reaction fires me up. It makes me realise how important it is to use our platforms to do things that are close to our hearts. “Our platforms are really important. “It doesn’t mean that we are perfect or that we are the spearhead of knowing what’s absolutely correct. “I’m just in a position where a lot of people can hear my voice. And whether you agree with me or not, I’m going to say it.” Media watchdog Ofcom took no action over the complaints and ITV has fully supported Ashley.

Pep Guardiola believes Sergio Aguero can return to his best form...

Pep Guardiola feels there is still enough time left in the season for Sergio Aguero to get back to his best. Aguero has endured a frustrating start to the campaign, starting just three games for Manchester City following knee surgery in June. The 32-year-old’s return had been complicated by further knee pain and a hamstring injury but he had been poised to return to the starting line-up for the first time since October in Sunday’s FA Cup third-round victory over Birmingham. That did not happen after the Argentinian was identified as a close contact of someone to have tested positive for Covid-19 and told to self-isolate for 10 days. Aguero must now also miss Wednesday’s Premier League clash against Brighton at the Etihad Stadium and probably Sunday’s visit from Crystal Palace. Depending on when his quarantine began, he may also be unavailable for the Aston Villa game on January 20. It is another setback for Aguero, whose return was being carefully managed by Guardiola to gradually build-up match-fitness and avoid further injuries. City manager Guardiola said: “He was in a good mood. He’s now isolated, of course, and he’s going to lose some training sessions and will need a little more time. Of course, he’s a guy who needs training to be in his best condition, especially with his knee, and this is the only bad thing. “But the important news is that the last 10 or 15 days before being isolated he was perfect. He reacted good and this is the best news. “At the end (of the day) we are (only) in January and the best part of the season is coming, and hopefully we can have him.” Aguero has at least avoided contracting coronavirus himself and has tested negative. City have had a number of other cases in recent weeks. Two of those to have tested positive, Kyle Walker and Gabriel Jesus, returned to action as City saw off Championship Birmingham 3-0 in the FA Cup. Guardiola said: “I was really impressed with what they did, especially Kyle playing all 90 minutes, and Gabriel as well. “They came from Covid and sometimes some people struggle more than others, but they worked quite well and they are able to play.” Ederson, Ferran Torres and Tommy Doyle are also now available again after completing their isolation. Guardiola said of them: “Ferran and Tommy, they lost weight, they are a little bit skinnier, two or three kilos, but that’s normal. “Gabriel and Kyle were quite good. Every player who suffers this Covid is different. Sometimes it affects them less, sometimes more. The important thing is it passed and nothing wrong happened.”

Queste le pagelle dell’Udinese dopo il pareggio senza reti contro l’Inter nell’ultima giornata del girone d’andata: 7 Musso L’intervento su Lautaro è un salvavita che spegne il fuoco interista. 5,5 Becao Consegna un pacco regalo a Lautaro, ma l’argentino lo sciupa. Poi però non lo fa più muovere. 6,5 Bonifazi Deve prendersi cura di Big Rom, gli sta appiccicato. 6,5 Samir Mai elegante, ruvido ma pure sempre efficace. Era diffidato, salta la prossima. 6 Larsen Vive tranquillo nel suo scantinato. Prova anche un colpo di testa. 6 De Paul Unisce il fisico alla tecnica. Sta attento a tenere collegati i reparti: gestisce il gioco, si accende e diventa pericoloso. 5 Arslan L’arbitro lo grazia perché andrebbe espulso per doppia ammonizione. Gotti lo richiama per evitare ulteriori rischi. 5,5 Pereyra Inizio intraprendente, poi si quieta e fatica a contenere Barella. Spreca una buona chance. 6 Zeegelaar Sta ben attento a non lasciare campo ad Hakimi e lo induce spesso all’errore. 5 Deulofeu L’ex milanista ha qualche accelerazione, alza molta polvere senza andare lontano. 5,5 Lasagna Occasioni non gliene capitano, fa da sponda con poco successo. 6,5 Walace Entra alla mezz’ora, non si spaventa e mette il lucchetto al centrocampo. 6 Mandragora Il suo è un ingresso che allunga la coperta. 6,5 De Maio Nella parte finale entra e alza la diga. 6,5 Gotti Bravo a incartare la partita e a capirne i momenti, provvidenziale il cambio di Arslan. Tutte le sostituzioni al momento giusto, il punto se lo guadagna lui. Queste invece le pagelle nerazzurre: 6 Handanovic Disoccupato: deve fare appena un mezzo intervento. 6 Skriniar Tra i più collegati, dalla sua parte rischi non se ne corrono mai. 6,5 De Vrij Se l’Udinese non riesce mai ad affondare è perché lui è sempre al posto giusto. 6 Bastoni Una sbavatura iniziale, non la miglior partita, ma sofferenza poca. 5 Hakimi Stavolta il treno non parte e quando lo fa spesso deraglia: più gli errori dei giusti appoggi. 6 Barella L’unico lì in mezzo a capirci qualcosa e a provare inserimenti e giocate. 5 Brozovic Un’alta quantità di errori banali. Non verticalizza mai il gioco, fa girare palla al rallentatore. 5 Vidal Il suo match alla fine non sa di nulla. Viaggia a passo lento senza creare un bel niente. 6 Young Come il dirimpettaio Larsen sta chiuso nel suo sonno, ma errori non ne fa. 5 Lukaku Non riescono a servirlo, prova a farsi valere sugli appoggi, non ha fortuna. 5 Lautaro Ha la palla per scardinare la partita e la calcia addosso al portiere. Poi non si vede più. 5 Perisic Meglio non farlo entrare più: è irritante, sbaglia qualunque cosa. 6 Sensi Non riesce a cambiare il match, ma almeno lo vivacizza. 5,5 Sanchez Pure lui si perde spesso nell’ingorgo del traffico. 5,5 Conte L’Inter fatica ad aprire le squadre chiuse. Stavolta la produzione offensiva è molto risicata. Alla fine litiga con l’arbitro Maresca e si fa espellere. Butta la chance di agganciare il Milan: nelle ultime tre trasferte solo due punti.

The Masked Singer has returned with a new line-up of characters that have the nation guessing: Who’s behind the mask?
The Masked Singer has returned with a new line-up of characters that have the nation guessing: Who’s behind the mask? The launch episode, which aired on Boxing Day, saw Robin go head to head against Alien, Swan, Sausage, Dragon and Badger in the first round. Each character performed for returning judges Rita Ora, Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross with newcomer Mo Gilligan, who has stepped in for comedian Ken Jeong. Alien landed in the bottom three with Swan and Badger with the panellists choosing Alien to be eliminated – and behind the mask was singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Since then Seahorse has been revealed to be Spice Girl Mel B, Love Actually star Martine McCutcheon was revealed to be inside Swan’s costume and Glenn Hoddle was unveiled as Grandfather Clock. However, Robin – who remains in the competition – continues to perplex viewers, many of whom thought after his first performance he might be JLS singer Aston Merrygold. Let’s look into the clues and theories that could point to Aston being behind the mask. What clues have been given about Robin? We first met Robin when they gave us a stunning performance of Don’t Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake. During the fifth week of the competition, Robin performed the very aptly named Rockin’ Robin, originally recorded by Bobby Day and later Michael Jackson. He also gave some more clues about his identity, including… So, which celebs could Robin be? Aston Merrygold There are a lot of clues pointing towards JLS singer Aston. The Robin outfit could be a nod to the singer’s early days in showbiz – in 2002 he competed on Stars In Your Eyes as Michael Jackson, where he sang his early classic Rockin’ Robin. Robin added fuel to the fire at the end of their performance, when they hinted to the judges they were ‘flying without wings’. Flying Without Wings is the name of the Westlife hit JLS sang with the Irish group on The X Factor in 2008. Meanwhile, when he was in secondary school, Aston played football on behalf of England in the European Youth Games. JLS star Aston also began his career by doing impressions, singing as Michael Jackson in an adorable childhood performance on Stars In Their Eyes. Olly Murs Some get the vibe of cheeky chappy Olly from the Robin. It’s no secret that Olly loves his football, and only gave up his career in the sport when he suffered an injury. Bruno Mars Mo Gilligan guessed Bruno after the Robin’s clue about his name being ‘out of this world’ (although this was said as part of two truths and a lie). Robin is also clearly a spectacular singer, and Bruno wrote the song Wavin’ Flag for K’naan, which became the anthem for the 2010 World Cup. Robin is still in the competition, so until they are unmasked we will have to keep guessing! Last year, Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts won The Masked Singer as Queen Bee. The Masked Singer continues Saturday at 7pm on ITV.

Skandale unter Handballchef Moustafa: Der Pharao lädt ein

Der Ägypter Hassan Moustafa ist Präsident des Handball-Weltverbands. Er gilt als autoritär, seit Jahren werden ihm Unregelmäßigkeiten nachgesagt.
Der Ägypter Hassan Moustafa ist Präsident des Handball-Weltverbands. Er gilt als autoritär, seit Jahren werden ihm Unregelmäßigkeiten nachgesagt. KAIRO taz | Anfang September gab es einen Eindruck von den Bildern, die Hassan Moustafa liebt und die er in den kommenden Wochen zuhauf schaffen möchte. Bei der Gruppenauslosung zur Handball-Weltmeisterschaft waren im Hintergrund die Pyramiden von Gizeh zu sehen, und auf einer Bühne davor stand der Präsident der Internationalen Handball-Föderation (IHF) und kündigte ein „great tournament“ und „great emotions“ an. „Great“, also großartig, muss das Turnier am Nil aus Sicht des Präsidenten mindestens werden, denn für den Ägypter ist die Veranstaltung in seiner Heimat eine Art Geschenk an seine Landsleute – und eine Art Geschenk an sich selbst. Moustafa ist seit knapp 21 Jahren Präsident des internationalen Handballverbands und die Weltmeisterschaft in seiner Heimat soll zum emotionalen Höhepunkt seiner Amtszeit werden. Das ist spätestens seit Ende 2015 klar, als die WM nach Nordafrika vergeben wurde. Geplant waren volle Arenen, heißblütige Fans, die ihre Mannschaft und ein wenig auch „ihren“ Präsidenten feiern. Das wird nicht mehr möglich sein. Eine maximale Hallenauslastung von 20 Prozent ist wegen der Pandemielage angedacht, nach Protesten europäischer Spieler wird gerade darüber diskutiert, ob ganz auf Fans in den Arenen verzichtet werden soll. Diskutiert wird seit vielen Jahren auch über Moustafa, der zu den umstrittensten Figuren im internationalen Sport zählt. Bei Pressekonferenzen tritt er mitunter selbstherrlich auf, reagiert unwirsch auf kritische Fragen. Die lange Zeit an der Macht hat ihn allergisch auf Widerspruch gemacht. Moustafa wurde Bereicherung und Untreue vorgeworfen, er wird mit Spielmanipulationen in Zusammenhang gebracht – parallel dazu hat er den Handball weiterentwickelt und mit Vermarktungsdeals für die Zukunft sicher aufgestellt. Für den Zeitraum von 2019 bis 2025 hat die IHF die Rechte für die Veranstaltungen des Weltverbands für mehr als 160 Millionen Euro an den Vermarkter Lagardère Sports verkauft. Darin enthalten sind die Weltmeisterschaften der Männer, der Frauen sowie einige Junioren-Titelkämpfe. Von Belang für die Vermarktung sind allerdings fast ausschließlich die Turniere der Männer, sodass jede WM knapp 40 Millionen Euro einbringt. Für die IHF bedeutet dieser Deal einen Quantensprung und finanzielle Sicherheit für die nächsten Jahre. Eingefädelt wurde die Vereinbarung von Moustafa. Opposition kaltgestellt Der Dankbarkeit vieler Untertanen kann sich der „Pharao“, wie Moustafa wegen seiner Herkunft und seines Führungsstils genannt wird, sicher sein. Ohnehin hat sich der 76-Jährige in den vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnten eine starke Hausmacht in den Gremien des Verbands aufgebaut, Widersacher kaltgestellt und somit seine Macht vergrößert. Er bildete Seilschaften, schaffte sich mit finanzieller Unterstützung vor allem bei den kleineren nationalen Verbänden Rückhalt und ist deshalb vom starken europäischen Verband (EHF) schwer angreifbar. So überstand Moustafa mehrere Skandale, vor zwölf Jahren stand er kurz vor der Ablösung. Vor dem IHF-Kongress im Juni 2009, passenderweise fand der in Kairo statt, gab es mehrere dubiose Geschichten, in die der Präsident verwickelt war. Bei der Wiederwahl setzte er sich dennoch mit einer großen Mehrheit gegen einen Kandidaten aus Luxemburg durch. „Die IHF bekommt den Präsidenten, den sie verdient“, sagte der unterlegene Jean Kaiser. Knapp zwei Jahre zuvor hatte eine Spielmanipulation, an der Moustafa beteiligt war, sogar das IOC auf den Plan gerufen. Im Endspiel der asiatischen Olympiaqualifikation hatte Kuwait überraschend gegen Südkorea gewonnen, wobei das Schiedsrichterteam die Koreaner derart offensichtlich benachteiligte, dass der internationale Sportgerichtshof CAS später eine Wiederholung anordnete – die Südkorea für sich entschied. Ursprünglich waren für die Begegnung deutsche Schiedsrichter vorgesehen, ehe Moustafa wenige Stunden vor dem Spiel die Unparteiischen durch ein Duo aus Jordanien ersetzte. Der kuwaitische Scheich Ahmed Al-Fahad Al Sabah war Präsident des asiatischen Handballverbands und ein enger Vertrauter des „Pharaos“. Moustafa versucht, Freunden zu helfen – kümmert sich aber auch um sich selbst. Der Präsident erhält mehrere 100.000 Euro Aufwandsentschädigung jährlich. Vor einigen Jahren ermöglichte er einen immensen Aufschlag für sich selbst, indem er die Entschädigungen aller Spitzenfunktionäre des Weltverbands anheben ließ. Für ihn selbst war die Steigerung besonders üppig. Zwischen 2001 und 2007 rechnete er Dienstflüge ab, ohne Belege vorzulegen. Es ging dabei um etwa 500.000 Euro, die Staatsanwaltschaft in Basel, dem Sitz der IHF, wurde wegen des „Verdachts der ungetreuen Geschäftsbesorgung“ tätig. Der Druck auf Moustafa nahm zu, er hielt sich beim Kongress 2009 dennoch im Amt und ist seither mächtiger geworden.

Rescheduled game `unfair and wrong´ but Fulham will go for glory -...

Scott Parker has raised concerns about player welfare after branding the Premier League’s decision to rearrange Fulham’s game at Tottenham for Wednesday “unfair and wrong”. The league first raised the possibility that Spurs could face Fulham – their original opponents Aston Villa had a coronavirus outbreak – over the weekend, but the final decision was taken on Monday morning. Fulham had been due to play at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on December 30 before the squad returned a “significant number” of positive Covid-19 tests and had to have two matches postponed, with Parker worried that a number of players could suffer injuries after being forced back into the fold too soon. The Fulham boss said: “There’s a risk of that. Of course there is. Is that risk more with us currently? Maybe because of the circumstances. “But that risk is a lot higher for every team this year because of the circumstances. This is not just an injured player who has been out for 10 days and for three of those days has been doing some work on the grass or in the gym – this is 10 days locked in your house. “This is 10 days you can’t come out and then after that you’re building someone in trying to get them to some sort of level to maybe play in the Premier League. So I think there’s no denying that that could heighten the injuries.” Fulham’s last Premier League match was on Boxing Day, when they secured a goalless draw at home to Southampton before a number of players contracted coronavirus, but Parker said despite his feelings over the decision the squad will put in a performance on Wednesday. He said: “We’ve had the time, obviously it is what it is, that’s not the issue. The squad have reacted fine to it, they’ve come in, prepared as well as we can, they’re raring to go, probably there is an element that they want to get back out and get back into the competition. “Overall, it is what it is. I’m disappointed, I’m angry, I think it’s unfair and I think it’s wrong and that’s why I don’t agree with it and that’s why I’m angry about it. “I think it’s wrong, I think it’s just outrageously wrong, but this is what happens in life sometimes, you have disappointments and you bounce back and it is what it is now. I’ve said my piece and the team will go out there, we’ll go out there and put in a performance on Wednesday night.” It is understood Fulham were first informed of the possibility of playing Spurs on Wednesday ahead of their FA Cup tie against QPR on Saturday, with Villa having only made the postponement request to the Premier League that day. The request from Villa had to be received and signed off before Fulham could be contacted. Confirmation was only possible on Monday once all the clubs and broadcasters affected by the rescheduling had been consulted. Fulham were signatories last September to a set of guiding principles which are contained within the league’s handbook. One of these states: “Clubs must accept changes to normal conditions and schedules in order to ensure the completion of the competition.” In section C of the handbook it states the league can, “having given consideration to the health and safety of participating players, (require) that clubs participate in matches at more frequent intervals than initially scheduled”.

The Masked Singer UK has fans absolutely baffled about its mystery celebrities.
The Masked Singer UK has fans absolutely baffled about its mystery celebrities. From Sausage and Badger to Blob and Harlequin, guesses from the panel – made up of Jonathan Ross, Rita Ora, Mo Gilligan and Davina McCall – and viewers at home have been all over the place. One particularly intriguing contestant this year is Sausage, the fun-loving star who clearly doesn’t take herself too seriously, and who ‘battered’ fellow contestant Badger in a sing-off earlier in the series. But what do we know so far? And, more importantly, who’s behind the mask? What clues have been given about Sausage? Sausage made her entrance as she cavorted on a beach (which looked very much like Brighton Pier) to the sound of Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj’s Bang Bang. She standing on a board emblazoned with phrases from classic TV and radio comedies, including: ‘Language Timothy!’ (a a running gag from the sitcom Sorry!’) and ‘You dirty old man!’ (Steptoe and Hancock) – so Sausage could have starred in a similar series. Sausage was seen going up to a burger van, titled Billie’s Burgers, with references to pop songs, including ‘Because We Want To’ (Billie Piper’s hit) and ‘All About That Plaice’ (presumably a play on Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass), so we’re guessing she’s also had a hit song. She also described herself as ‘a bit of a tomboy, but I really am a girly girl.’ ‘I love a bit of glam, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have fun and, to be honest, I’m a bit of a silly sausage,’ she added. ‘I just want to have a laugh.’ Meanwhile, after singing, she added: ‘My performances are something of a balancing act,’ prompting fans to guess that she’s an all-rounder. We’re not sure how much to read into this, but Sausage also made a last-minute costume change ahead of her second performance – could it be another hint? Sausage previously said she loves a bit of DIY and said she can be found with: ‘A couple of beers and a bag of potato snacks,’ presumably referencing Two Points Of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. She also gave clues after her performance – only one of which is actually true – including ‘My hair colour is certified by law’ and ‘Someone once said I looked like a pop star, I sounded like a pop star – I am a pop star’. Ahead of Sausage’s third performance, she offered the hint that someone had ‘once said they look like a horse’. The singer added that they ‘enjoy’ hiding their face behind their mask, although it’s not the first time their face has been concealed in their line of work. Singing Lisa Stansfield’s All Around The World, Sausage performed with a newspaper wrapping with a headline that reads: ‘Sausage Rolls On… Just!’ A clue that Sausage is well-travelled? Who could Sausage be? The panel were convinced the mystery celeb is a young female singer – and were taken with the idea that she’s an all-rounder. One guess was Billie Piper, given her history as a singer and actress, and the multiple references to her – although it’s unlikely the show would have made it so obvious. Stacey Solomon is another popular guess, with the Loose Women panel admitting they think it could be her too. Rita also guessed Ella Henderson, pointing out that she’s a tomboy, so could definitely fit with the clues. Meanwhile, newer predictions include Sheridan Smith, especially after Sausage appeared to reference Legally Blonde, which she starred in the musical adaptation of. Other guesses from fans include Michelle Keegan, singer Louisa, Emily Atack, and Joss Stone. Only time will tell! The Masked Singer returns Saturday at 7pm on ITV.

Stasiaufarbeitung und DDR-Opposition: Bürgerrechtler gegen Bürgerrechtler

Das Bürgerkomitee Leipzig schottet seine Stasi-Ausstellung gegen Veränderungswillige ab. Fördermittel werden jetzt an Bedingungen gebunden.
Das Bürgerkomitee Leipzig schottet seine Stasi-Ausstellung gegen Veränderungswillige ab. Fördermittel werden jetzt an Bedingungen gebunden. DRESDEN taz | Aus Sicht des Westens bekamen DDR-Oppositionelle pauschal das Etikett „Bürgerrechtler“ aufgeklebt und erwiesen sich doch als sehr heterogene Minderheit. Das zeigt ihre Ankunft in völlig entgegengesetzten politischen Lagern nach 1989. Und das zeigt auch die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung über das Leipziger Bürgerkomitee. Der gemeinnützige Verein entstand in der Wendezeit aus dem Bürgerkomitee für die Auflösung der Staatssicherheit der DDR. Heute ist er Träger des Leipziger Museums Runde Ecke unweit der Thomaskirche. Dort war einst der Sitz der Stasi­bezirksverwaltung. Schon länger gibt es dort nun Streit über den Vereinsbeitritt von weiteren Aktiven der Friedlichen Revolution 1989. Zum Jahresende 2020 wurde den einstigen MitstreiterInnen dieser nun endgültig verwehrt. Vor 16 Monaten bereits hatten zehn LeipzigerInnen einen Mitgliedsantrag gestellt. Unter ihnen sind die grüne Bundestagsabgeordnete Monika Lazar, die im Stiftungsrat der Bundesstiftung zur Aufarbeitung der SED-Diktatur sitzt, und die ehemalige Bürgerrechtlerin und grüne Europaabgeordnete Gisela Kallenbach. Eine erste Ablehnung beantworteten sie im April 2020 mit einem offenen Brief und einer Plakataktion vor der Runden Ecke. Das Bürgerkomitee reagierte wiederum scharf. Es lobte zunächst seine „sehr erfolgreiche“ Arbeit und sprach von einer parteipolitisch motivierten „konzertierten Aktion“. Auch witterte es eine „erinnerungspolitisch motivierte Kampagne“ gegen die Gedenkstättenarbeit. Vorwurf der Parteilichkeit Auch jetzt begründet Museumsleiter Tobias Hollitzer die endgültige Aufnahmeablehnung mit einem drohenden Verstoß gegen das satzungsgemäße Neutralitätsgebot: „Die kommen alle überwiegend aus einer parteipolitischen Richtung.“ Unter den Antragstellern sind vier Bündnisgrüne, zwei CDU-Mitglieder und vier Parteilose. „Man möchte möglicherweise nicht, dass frischer Wind in das Konzept des Museums kommt“, vermutet die abgewiesene Gisela Kallenbach gegenüber dem MDR. Der sächsische Stasilandesbeauftragte Lutz Rathenow spricht gar von einer „etwas autoritär wirkenden Abwimmelungsstrategie“. Sie sei nicht glaubhaft und werde nicht funktionieren. Hinter dem Aufnahmestreit steckt eine schon länger währende Auseinandersetzung über die seit mehr als 25 Jahren fast unveränderte Ausstellung. „Die Art und Weise, wie man aus dem Erleben der Friedlichen Revolution heraus unmittelbar nach 1990 eine Dokumentation der Geschehnisse in Leipzig und insbesondere der ab Dezember 1989 besetzen Stasizentrale aufgebaut hat, wäre selbst schon ein Aspekt einer künftigen neuen Ausstellung, die auch die Geschichte des Erinnerungsortes reflektieren sollte“, sagt Sven Riesel, Geschäftsführer der Sächsischen Gedenkstättenstiftung. Modernisierung der Ausstellung gefordert Die Ausstellung müsse 30 Jahre nach der Deutschen Einheit auch Veränderungen in der Erinnerungskultur widerspiegeln und anhand zeitgemäßer Vermittlungsformen in der Gegenwart ankommen, so Riesel. Wichtigstes Anliegen bleibe aber die fortgesetzte Öffnung der Runden Ecke als historischer Ort des Unrechts und der Verfolgung sowie als einer der Schauplätze der Friedlichen Revolution. Erstmals hat die Stiftung den Landeszuschuss von jährlich 205.000 Euro nun an Auflagen gebunden: nämlich die Ausstellung inhaltlich und didaktisch zu modernisieren. Veränderungen, die auch die Beitrittswilligen wünschen. Auch die Stadt Leipzig hat Fördermittel nur teilweise ausgezahlt, weil der Verein Bedingungen nicht einhielt. Seit 2019 häuften sich kritische Medienberichte, die vom beratungsresistenten Gedenkstättenleiter Hollitzer stets heftig zurückgewiesen wurden. Er galt als letzter Verbündeter des nach ähnlichen Vorwürfen zurückgetretenen Stiftungsgeschäftsführers Siegfried Reiprich. Nun soll Nachfolger Riesel im Leipziger Konflikt vermitteln, regt der Stasibeauftragte Lutz Rathenow an.

Denizli geçmişte yaşanan büyük depremlerde fazla yara aldığı için, uzmanlar bölgenin denetiminin gözden geçirilip beklenen depremde tedbirin alınması gerektiğini belirtti. Jeoloji Ana Bilim Dalı Başkanı Prof. Dr. Halil Kumsar, fay hattının geçmediği yerde de deprem olacağını belirterek, “Kentte zayıf olan zeminlerin olası depremde neler olabilir diye analiz edilmesi gerekli” dedi. Denizli’de 7. yüzyılda meydana gelen büyük deprem sonrası birçok bölgenin yerle bir olduğunu söyleyen Prof. Dr. Halil Kumsar, Denizli’de ortalama 6.8 şiddetinde deprem beklediklerini ifade etti. Yaşanılacak depremlerde can kaybını ve hasarları en aza indirilmesi için gerekli çalışmaların yapılıp kentsel dönüşümün jeolojik ve jeoteknik haritaya göre yapılaması gerektiğini belirten Kumsar, “Tarihsel dönemlerde meydana gelen depremlerde Denizli birçok defa ağır hasar görerek yıkıldı ve tekrar toparlandı. Bunlara en güzel örnekleri Hierapolis ve Laodikya Antik Kenti’nde görebiliriz. Laodikya Antik Kenti Milattan Sonra 7. yüzyıl başında büyük bir depremle tamamen yerle bir oldu. Oradaki nüfus artık burayı terk etme kararı alıyor. Daha sonraki yıllarda en son olan büyük depremlerden bir tanesi de 1710 yılında meydana gelen deprem. Kentin 12 bin olan nüfusunun yarısının hayatını kaybettiğine dair yazılı belgeler var. Bu can kaybına neden olan büyük depremin tekrarlanması durumunda aynı problemlerin yaşanması söz konusu” dedi. “6.8 şiddetinde deprem bekliyoruz” Denizli’de ilerleyen zamanlarda deprem beklendiğini ve bunun merkez üssünün yerleşim yeri olacağını söyleyen Kumsar, “Meydana gelecek olan büyük bir depremin yaklaşık 6.8 şiddetinde. Depremin merkez üssünün ise yerleşim merkezine yakın olacağı söz konusu. Bizler bu depremde önemli oranda etkileneceğiz. Kentte yaşayan insanlar ve yapılar büyük hasar görecek. Böyle bir depreme karşı bu kentin yöneticileri, çalışanları ve mühendisleri hazır hale gelmek zorunda. Hazır hale gelebilmemiz için önce en tabandaki jeolojik altyapıyı ve bilgi sistemini çok bir şekilde kurmamız lazım. Verileri çok iyi üretmeleri lazım ki jeoteknik, jeofizik verilerini ürettikten sonra kentte zayıf olan zeminleri olası depremde burada ki yapılarda neler olabilir diye analiz yapılması gerekli” diye konuştu. “Önemli olan deprem olmadan önce bu hasarları ve can kayıplarını önleyebilelim” Olası depreme dayanıklı olunması için binaların kontrol edilmesi gerektiğini söyleyen Kumsar, “Deprem zararlarını biz önceden azaltabiliriz. Can kayıplarını önleyebiliriz. Eğer bunları yapmazsak deprem olduğu zaman aynı şeyleri konuşuruz. Ülkemiz yaraları sarma ve acil durum konusunda oldukça iyi bir durumda. Önemli olan deprem olmadan önce bu hasarları ve can kayıplarını önleyebilelim. Elazığ depreminden sonra önemli adımlar atılmaya başlandı. Deprem olmadan önce yapıp ilgi yerlere bunu koyup buralarda hasarı çok yaşayabileceğimizi ve buradaki binaları acilen kontrol edip kentsel dönüşümü bu jeolojik ve jeoteknik haritaya göre yapalım diyeceğiz. Buna göre kentin hasar görecek alanlarını ortaya çıkaracağız” ifadelerini kullandı. “Fay olmayan yerde de çok ağır bir hasar meydana gelebiliyor” Yaşanan depremleri örnek göstererek fay geçmeyen yerlerde de deprem olacağını belirten Kumsar, “İzmir Bayraklı’da benzer bir problem yaşandı. Depreme 70 kilometre uzaklıkta bir yerde olduğu halde büyük bir hasar meydana geldi. Aktif fay, depreme gelen fay Bayraklı’da değil. Ama 70 kilometre uzaklıkta ve demek ki fay olmayan yerde de çok ağır bir hasar meydana gelebiliyor. Kentlerin jeoteknik zemin yapısını da ayrıca çalışıp bunla ilgili bilgi sistemi oluşturmak lazım” şeklinde konuştu. İLGİLİ HABERLER

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says Fulham should apologise for complaining about their hastily rearranged fixture if they name a strong side on Wednesday night. Cottagers boss Scott Parker branded the decision to shoehorn the Premier League match into a Wednesday night slot at just 48 hours notice as “scandalous”, but it is falling on deaf ears as far as Mourinho is concerned. The game was due to take place on December 30, but it was called off less than three hours before kick-off after the Fulham squad had a coronavirus outbreak. And after Spurs’ scheduled game at Aston Villa on Wednesday was called off for the same reason, the Premier League moved quickly. Mourinho said: “In relation to Fulham, I think we should wait for tomorrow. We should see their team, their starting line-up, their bench, the players that start, the players on the bench, and the players not involved in the game. “And after that we can all feel sorry for them. Or we can all think that they shouldn’t speak. “My feeling is just my feeling. It’s that they will play with everybody. Maybe one player out. Maximum two. “That’s just my guess because all this is confidential information and we don’t have access to any of this. It’s just a feeling that I have, the best Fulham will be here, so when we see the best Fulham, then you realise lots of things don’t make sense. “We played, if I’m not wrong, 10 more matches than Fulham since the beginning of the season. “We played every week, three matches a week. We played, in one week, four matches. They played Saturday against QPR. In London. “They have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to prepare for the game. If they come with half of the team, I will be the first one to apologise to them. And I will be the first one to say we played this game with an advantage. “If they come with their best, I think they should apologise to all of us. Come on, let’s play football.” Mourinho says the Premier League has moved the goalposts by allowing games to be postponed when it was agreed at the start of the season that they would go ahead if sides had 14 players available. With a congested schedule for most teams in the second half of the season, he says there is no room for manoeuvre, which will leave some teams unhappier than others. He said: “Look, since the pre-season when I was told that if you have 14 players available, you play football. Since that moment, I thought, ‘We are going to play, we are going to end the season and we are not going to have problems’. “That rule, if we can call it a rule, for some reason changed. We had some matches postponed. And since that moment, the situation became a little bit more difficult. “Then, we needed leadership. We needed decisions to be made. And if we all are very selfish, or if you all want the perfect situation for ourselves, it is going to be very, very difficult for the Premier League to make it amazing for everyone. “That’s obvious. I can also ask why Aston Villa played against Liverpool in the FA Cup. But Aston Villa doesn’t play against me tomorrow. “Of course, Aston Villa have very good young players and they played beautiful game against Liverpool. But I would love to play tomorrow against that Aston Villa. “Why am I not playing them? And you want me now to be crying about that. I’m not crying about that. I’m crying about that fact that we cannot have more matches postponed. We can’t.”

Anfangs konnten sie nur Ärzte bestellen. Inzwischen ist das anders. Auch fachfremde Unternehmen wie zum Beispiel Event-Veranstalter können die Tests kaufen. Und so finden sich in den Impressen der Anbieter von Schnelltests neben Laboren auch Marketingagenturen und Gastronomen. Das heißt nicht automatisch, dass ein Gastronom, der diese Tests anbietet, unseriös sein muss. Aber es gibt keinerlei Überprüfung der Anbieter durch die Behörden. Ob die Tests tatsächlich immer von medizinischen Fachkräften durchgeführt werden, kontrolliert niemand. Auch nicht, ob alle positiven Test-Ergebnisse, wie vorgeschrieben, an die Gesundheitsämter gemeldet werden. Einen Überblick über die Anbieter hat die Gesundheitsbehörde eigenen Angaben zufolge schon lange nicht mehr. Der Bund hatte festgelegt, dass Schnelltest-Anbieter keine Extra-Genehmigungen brauchen.

Fitness icon Derrick Evans, 68, thinks laughing through exercise takes away the pain and aims to bring the smiles as he takes on Wicks with his own work out videos Mr Motivator has taken a cheeky swipe at Joe Wicks – claiming people enjoy his workouts more. The fitness icon, real name Derrick Evans, says participants “feel the pain” with Wicks, while they laugh away the effort of exercise with his upbeat antics. Mr Motivator is kicking off a series of live virtual workout videos with celebrity message service Thrillz tomorrow to rival Joe’s YouTube sessions. Famed for his bright Lycra clobber, Mr Motivator feels fans get better results by bringing laughter into exercise, instead of just pushing themselves. The 68-year-old reckons his upbeat music and vivid outfits make you forget “internal pain”. Joe, 34, has become a national hero in the past year with his inspirational workouts, but Derrick feels that he reaches a wider audience – in particular the elderly and less motivated. He said: “I have to say that is what is wrong with Joe, you feel the pain. “You have got to deflect people from their muscles being worked or overworked, or that their breathing is short. “Laughter deflects you away from that feeling and pain. “It’s like when someone doesn’t use music when they exercise – you feel the pain of what you are doing. “I do these classes for the homeless charities and we raised quite a bit of money before Christmas. A lady said , ‘I do HIIT classes lasting 30 minutes. "But I did your class and I was amazed that when I look at my energy output it was the same as going through the intense pain of a HIIT class.’” Mr Motivator, who became a household name in the 1990s, also believes his range of party music helps fans boost their mindset.

Shadow chancellor pledges to deliver value for money for taxpayers

Taxpayers will get better value for money under Labour proposals to ask a watchdog to scrutinise how well the Government is spending their cash, the shadow chancellor will announce. Anneliese Dodds is set to use a major speech to give a “cast-iron commitment” to delivering value for money for the British people if her party enters power. Under the plan, the National Audit Office would annually assess how well the Government is spending money. The Treasury would then have to implement the recommendations. But the Government said a “rigorous spending control framework” is already in place. Ms Dodds will outline the proposal as she becomes the first woman to deliver the prestigious annual Mais lecture to the Business School at City University, London, on Wednesday evening. She will say: “This approach – hard-wiring value for money and financial control into the budgetary process – would focus on real outcomes, not eye-catching announcements designed to raise expectations today, only for them to be dashed tomorrow.” The shadow chancellor is also set to commit Labour to a “responsible fiscal framework” focused on economic resilience. She will say: “If we are to deliver a resilient, jobs-rich recovery from this crisis and a stronger, better future for the 2020s and beyond, we must make effective use of all economic policymaking levers at our disposal. “That means an independent Bank of England setting monetary policy; a responsible government using fiscal policy to ensure public money is spent effectively and wisely; and action to improve resilience, including in the face of the climate crisis, and to deal with challenges to our economic competitiveness.” A Treasury spokeswoman said: “This isn’t new. We already have a rigorous spending control framework in place to ensure we deliver value for money for the taxpayer. This has proved resilient in the face of the pandemic.”

Besonders zu empfehlen sind in dieser Woche die historischen Streams einiger Bühnen der Stadt. Die Schaubühne zeigt eine berühmte Arbeit aus dem Jahr 1977, als ein Schauspieler*innenkollektiv (darunter u.a. Monika Hansen, Otto Sander, Sabine Andreas, Wolf Redl und Michael König) acht Einakter von Georges Courteline zu einem Abend zusammenfasste. „Die ganz begreifliche Angst vor Schlägen“ handelt von den Ängsten und Sehnsüchten von Bürger*innen, die in Vorschriften und Konventionen eingeklemmmt sind (12.1. bis 15.1., 18 Uhr auf: www.schaubuehne.de/de/produktionen). Das Berliner Ensemble holt in Kooperation mit der Akademie der Künste Manfred Wekwerths und Jürgen Tenscherts 1962 entstandene und 1966 aufgezeichnete Inszenierung von Brechts „Tage der Commune“ (u.a. mit Angelika Domröse, Hilmar Thate, Gisela May und Ekkehard Schall – sowie Musik von Hanns Eisler) aus dem Archiv.

Alleine von Freitag auf Samstag wurden 2752 Neuinfektionen registriert, insgesamt schlagen für den Freistaat seit Beginn der Pandemie im vergangenen März 152.459 Corona-Infektionen zu Buche, wie aus den aktuellen Zahlen des Robert Koch-Instituts (RKI) hervorgeht. Der Wert der Neuinfektionen pro 100.000 Einwohner binnen sieben Tagen liegt demnach bei 339,1, am Vortag lag die Inzidenz bei 298. Sachsen bleibt mit Blick auf die Inzidenz bundesweit negativer Spitzenreiter. Deutschlandweit liegt der Wert derzeit bei 153,9. Die Daten sind derzeit aber noch schwierig zu interpretieren, weil es über den Jahreswechsel Verzögerungen gegeben hat. Das RKI geht davon aus, dass die Meldedaten zum Infektionsgeschehen frühestens Ende nächster oder Anfang übernächster Woche wieder belastbar sind. Landesweit und bundesweit hat laut RKI nach wie vor der Landkreis Meißen mit 558,1 den höchsten Inzidenzwert. Im Kampf gegen die Corona-Pandemie hat Sachsen den Lockdown bis zum 7. Februar verlängert. Demnach bleiben Kitas und Schulen im Freistaat bis zu diesem Tag weitgehend geschlossen. Kontakte werden eingeschränkt, allerdings will Sachsen Ausnahmen für die Kinderbetreuung ermöglichen. So ist eine abwechselnde Beaufsichtigung von Kindern unter 14 Jahren erlaubt, die Kinder dürfen aber höchstens aus zwei Haushalten kommen. Damit dürfen sich etwa zwei Familien bei der Kinderbetreuung abwechseln. Alle Entwicklungen zu Corona im Liveticker:

The publication of an “instrinsically private, personal and sensitive” letter sent by the Duchess of Sussex to her estranged father was a “plain and serious invasion” of privacy, her lawyers have told the High Court. Meghan, 39, is suing the publisher of The Mail On Sunday and MailOnline over a series of articles which reproduced parts of the handwritten letter sent to 76-year-old Thomas Markle in August 2018. She is seeking damages for alleged misuse of private information, copyright infringement and breach of the Data Protection Act over five articles, published in February 2019, which included extracts from the “private and confidential” letter to her father. Her lawyers argue Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) has “no prospect” of defending her claim for misuse of private information and alleged breach of copyright over the publication of the letter. At the start of a two-day remote High Court hearing on Tuesday, Meghan’s lawyers asked Mr Justice Warby to grant “summary judgment” in relation to her privacy and copyright claims, a legal step which would see those parts of the case resolved without a trial. Justin Rushbrooke QC, representing the duchess, described the hand-written letter as “a heartfelt plea from an anguished daughter to her father”, which Meghan sent to Mr Markle “at his home in Mexico via a trusted contact … to reduce the risk of interception”. He said the “contents and character of the letter were intrinsically private, personal and sensitive in nature” and that Meghan therefore “had a reasonable expectation of privacy in respect of the contents of the letter”. Mr Rushbrooke added in written submissions: “It is as good an example as one could find of a letter that any person of ordinary sensibilities would not want to be disclosed to third parties, let alone in a mass media publication, in a sensational context and to serve the commercial purposes of the newspaper.” The barrister argued that “there is no real prospect of the defendant establishing that the claimant had no reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to the contents of the letter and the defendant’s contentions to the contrary are utterly fanciful”. Mr Rushbrooke continued that, even if ANL was justified in publishing parts of the letter to Mr Markle, “on any view the defendant published far more by way of extracts from the letter than could have been justified in the public interest”, saying the Mail’s “use of the letter was and is manifestly disproportionate”. In relation to Meghan’s copyright claim, Ian Mill QC, also representing the duchess, argued that “she and she alone” created a draft of the letter to her father “which she then transcribed by hand”. He argued the letter to Mr Markle was “an original literary work in which copyright subsists and is owned by the claimant” and asked the court to “grasp the nettle and decide the issue at this hearing”. Antony White QC, representing ANL, said in written submissions that the case was “wholly unsuitable for summary judgment”. Mr White said there was “uncertainty as to a number of significant factual matters which can, and should, be investigated at trial when the court will have the full picture in terms of disclosure and evidence”. He added: “This is particularly so when the claimant’s case in respect of certain important factual issues has shifted, (including) in relation to the circumstances in which the letter was written and the extent to which she had disclosed information about the letter with a view to publication. “There are now on the record a number of inconsistent statements made by her that she will need to explain.” Mr White argued that, if the court assessed whether Meghan had a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to the letter, “it would be likely to come to the conclusion that the claimant has not shown a reasonable expectation of privacy” and that “on the contrary, she expected or intended its contents to enter the public domain”. The full trial of the duchess’s claim was due to be heard at the High Court this month, but last year the case was adjourned until autumn 2021 for a “confidential” reason. The remote hearing before Mr Justice Warby is due to last two days and it is expected he will reserve his judgment to a later date.

Paul Pogba fired Manchester United to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Burnley. The France midfielder’s deflected volley in the 71st minute was enough for a hard-earned victory in a match full of VAR controversy. United move three points clear of Liverpool ahead of their showdown at Anfield on Sunday. Not for the first time in the evening, VAR took centre stage in the 32nd minute. Robbie Brady appeared to have brought down Edinson Cavani as the Manchester United forward – back after a three-match ban – looked to get clear around 25 yards out. After referee Kevin Friend initially showed the Burnley man a yellow card, the incident was reviewed by VAR. Friend went over to the pitchside monitor to check a potential earlier foul by Luke Shaw on Johann Gudmundsson before the United breakaway. Following several replays, the referee instead awarded Burnley a free-kick, showing United defender Shaw a yellow card and so the possible red card against Brady was ruled out, with his caution rescinded. United thought they had taken the lead in the 37th minute when Harry Maguire headed in at the back post, but the captain was adjudged to have fouled Burnley defender Erik Pieters as he jumped. Just before half-time, Burnley keeper Nick Pope produced a fine save from Anthony Martial’s curling shot towards the top corner. Soon after the restart, Cavani spurned a glorious opportunity to break the deadlock when he scuffed his shot straight at Pope from close range after being picked out by Bruno Fernandes. United eventually made the breakthrough in the 71st minute. Marcus Rashford got clear down the right and clipped the ball back across to the edge of the penalty area, where Pogba sent a volley goalwards which deflected off Burnley defender Matthew Lowton and past Pope. VAR was again in action during the closing stages for a review of a potential handball by Maguire in a crowded six-yard box, but no penalty was given. Earlier, bottom club Sheffield United finally ended their long wait for a Premier League victory after they beat 10-man Newcastle 1-0 at Bramall Lane. The Blades, who had won in the FA Cup third round on Saturday, picked up all three points for the first time this season following Billy Sharp’s penalty in the 73rd minute. The spot-kick was given for handball against Federico Fernandez after referee Andy Madley had checked the pitchside monitor. Newcastle lacked imagination and their task was made more difficult following the dismissal of winger Ryan Fraser just before half-time for a second caution. Sheffield United – whose last Premier League win came on July 11 – are up to five points, three behind West Brom, but having played more games than their relegation rivals. Everton are fourth after they beat Wolves 2-1 at Molineux. The Toffees – defeated at home by West Ham and former boss David Moyes in their previous league game – took the lead in the sixth minute when Alex Iwobi converted a cut-back from Lucas Digne. Wolves, though, equalised in the 14th minute through Ruben Neves’ volley. With 20 minutes left, Neves went close when he fired a spectacular long-range effort which dipped just over. It was Everton, though, who regained the lead in the 77th minute when Michael Keane headed in at the back post.

Carlo Ancelotti praises Everton´s flexibility as they win at Wolves...

Boss Carlo Ancelotti praised Everton’s flexibility after the Toffees’ win at Wolves continued their Champions League challenge. Michael Keane’s second-half header secured a 2-1 victory at Molineux to send the visitors fourth in the Premier League. Alex Iwobi’s first Premier League goal since September 2019 had earlier been cancelled out by Ruben Neves. It was a fifth win in six top-flight games for Everton and came without injured 14-goal top scorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin, out with a hamstring issue, to leave Ancelotti pleased with their response. He said: “The players adapted really well. The position of James Rodriguez and Gylfi Sigurdsson created problems for them. We adapted well to the characteristics of our players and at the back we were focused. All the back four were fantastic. “We had a different approach without Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin. We played more to attack the flanks with Iwobi and (Lucas) Digne and it worked well because the first goal was a fantastic combination. “Without Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin it is more difficult to score but I think to be focussed defensively enabled us to have a good game.” Iwobi struck first after six minutes when his cool first-time finish rounded off a fine move which ended when Digne cut back James’ pass. The lead lasted just seven minutes though as Neves levelled when he volleyed in Rayan Ait-Nouri’s cross. Without Raul Jimenez Wolves have struggled for a focal point and Fabio Silva battled in vain to make an impression up front. Leander Dendoncker headed over for the hosts after the break but, in a half of few chances, Keane scored with Everton’s only effort on target with 13 minutes left. Wolves could only half-cleared a corner and, when Andre Gomes returned the ball, Keane’s towering header won it. Neves’ free-kick with five minutes left hit the woodwork but Wolves dropped to 14th. They have won just once in eight league games since Jimenez fractured his skull at Arsenal in November. Boss Nuno Espirito Santo said: “I’m very worried (about the form). It is something we know we need to improve but at the same time be aware of what is happening and what we have to do for the future. “We played a good game, there were not too many chances for both teams in the second half. It was a game decided on set pieces, we are frustrated and on small details games are getting away from us. “Everton defended well, were tight and organised and made our job difficult but in the second half we should have done better. We need all the players in the squad healthy so we can improve. “We have a strong team spirit which, in moments which are not so good, require more unity. Soon we will be better.”

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enjoys top spot but ready for Liverpool test

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased by the dogged victory at Burnley that propelled Manchester United top of the Premier League ahead of Sunday’s “great test” at reigning champions Liverpool. Paul Pogba’s deflected second-half volley secured the Red Devils a hard-fought 1-0 win in sub-zero conditions at Turf Moor, where Harry Maguire saw an opener controversially ruled out. The result saw United go top at this stage of the season for the first time since Sir Alex Ferguson bowed out as champion in 2012-13, giving them a three-point cushion over Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s trip to Anfield. Solskjaer won six Premier League winners’ medals during his time as a player at Old Trafford and was glad his side regained focus after a heated end to the opening period. “We’re almost halfway through the season so it’s a little bit of an indication of where you’re at,” the 1999 treble hero said. “But no-one will remember the league table on the 12th of January. “The frustrations were clear for everyone to see (in the first half) and it affected our performances, so we can’t let that happen. “We’ve just got to accept once in a while that decisions will go against you and Harry’s goal was a perfectly good one, so it’s a decision we shouldn’t be sat there talking about. “The foul against (Edinson) Cavani and the red card (that could have been handed to last man Robbie Brady), of course you go back to foul Luke (Shaw) did. I’ve not seen it yet, so I can’t really comment on that one. “But half-time helped us. I thought we came out second half and played really well and deserved the win. “Then Paul’s performance, I think him and Nemanja (Matic) in midfield played as players who know what this is about and these games are about.” All eyes will be on Anfield this Sunday now as United look to go six points ahead of Liverpool, who moved an eye-watering 30 points clear of Solskjaer’s side with a 2-0 victory when they last met in January 2020. “We’re looking forward to it,” the Norwegian said. “Of course you enjoy being where we are at any time. If it’s the first game or the last game, it’s a big, big difference. “But at the moment we are where we are. We’re going to go in there knowing that we play against the team that’s been by a mile the best in the country for the last year and a half. “They’re champions by right and we’re looking forward to it and it’s a great test of where we’re at against a good team.” Burnley counterpart Sean Dyche was pleased by his side’s display in defeat to the league-leading Red Devils, although failing to grab a point naturally stuck in the craw. “A lot of the performance was good, I thought, against a top side who are playing very well,” said the Clarets boss. “We’re in good form ourselves but they are a top side, they’ve got some very good individuals as well as a collective. “I thought a lot of our performance was good, it was effective and inevitably we don’t get anything from the game but the performance was certainly something we can build on.”

Umstrittene Kunstausstellung in Madrid: Der Teufel und der Papst

Eine Retrospektive des argentinischen Künstlers León Ferrari (1920–2013) im Madrider Nationalmuseum Reina Sofía sorgt für Proteste.
Eine Retrospektive des argentinischen Künstlers León Ferrari (1920–2013) im Madrider Nationalmuseum Reina Sofía sorgt für Proteste. „Kunst ist nicht schön und neu, sie ist effektiv und verstörend“, lautete das Motto des wichtigsten bildenden Künstlers Lateinamerikas der letzten Jahrzehnte, León Ferrari aus Argentinien. Eine Retrospektive seines Schaffens ist anlässlich seines 100. Geburtstags im Madrider Nationalmuseum für Moderne Kunst, Reina Sofía, gestartet. Die Reaktionen auf die Werke des 2013 verstorbenen Künstlers geben seinem Motto recht. Die erzkatholische Gruppe Hazte­Oir.org (Verschaff dir Gehör) läuft Sturm. Sie hat 22.000 Unterschriften für die sofortige Schließung der Ausstellung gesammelt, die noch bis Mitte April in Madrid zu sehen ist, bevor sie dann ins Van Abbemuseum nach Eindhoven und später ins Centre Pompidou in Paris wandert. Die Schau beleidige Jesus und mache sich über das Evangelium lustig, behaupten die Akti­vist:in­nen. Das Museum habe als Termin für die Eröffnung absichtlich die Zeit um „Weihnachten ausgesucht, denn es versucht so viel Schaden wie möglich anzurichten“. Jesus auf dem Kampfjet Die Vereinigung Christlicher Anwälte geht noch einen Schritt weiter. Sie hat den Museumsdirektor des Reina Sofía, Manuel Borja-Villel, wegen „Verletzung religiöser Gefühle“ angezeigt. Ob Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Installationen, Skulpturen oder Gedichte, Ferrari provoziert. Eines der wichtigsten Objekte der Ausstellung zeigt einen Jesus, der auf einem US-Kampfjet gekreuzigt wurde. Die Skulptur mit dem Namen „Die westliche und christliche Zivilisation“, die jetzt Spaniens Erzkatholen in Rage bringt, stammt aus dem Jahr 1965 und war Ferraris Beitrag zu den Protesten gegen den Vietnamkrieg. Religion bedeutete für Ferrari, dessen Vater Kirchenmaler war, nicht zuletzt ein Mittel, um Machtwillkür, Gewalt gegen Andersdenkende und Kriege zu rechtfertigen. So verwundert es auch nicht, dass Ferrari, der 2007 mit dem Goldenen Löwen bei der Biennale in Venedig ausgezeichnet wurde, das Thema Religion immer wieder aufgegriffen hat. In der Ausstellung sind Jesusfiguren in einer Bratpfanne, auf einer Zitronenpresse oder einem Reibeisen zu sehen. Mehrere Collagen mischen religiöse und sexuelle Symboliken. Eines der wichtigsten Gemälde ist eine Kopie des Bildes „Das jüngste Gericht“ aus der Sixtinischen Kapelle von Michelangelo, bedeckt mit Vogelscheiße. „Die wahre Hölle ist, mental mit der Idee der ewigen Strafe zu leben“, schrieb Ferrari einst. Der Teufel verstecke sich hinter Intoleranz und dem blinden Glauben. Am Eingang der Ausstellungsräume weist ein Schild darauf hin, dass das Gezeigte die Gefühle von Betrachter:innen verletzen könne. Für den Fundus Der Name der Madrider Retrospektive – „Die freundliche Grausamkeit“ – erinnert an einen Gedichtband Ferraris, mit dem dieser seines während der argentinischen Militärdiktatur verschwundenen Sohns gedachte. Ein Großteil der in Madrid gezeigten Objekte und Dokumente wurde von der Stiftung der Familie Ferrari dem Kunstmuseum Reina Sofía, dessen wichtigstes Gemälde „Guernica“ von Pablo Picasso ist, überlassen, um sie in den Fundus aufzunehmen. Ziel der Stiftung ist es, Ferraris Werk in Europa bekannter zu machen. Neben dem Reina Sofía erhielt auch das Centre Pompidou in Paris eine Gabe. Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass eine Ferrari-Ausstellung für religiös motivierte Proteste sorgt. Als seine Werke im Jahr 2004 im Recoleta-Kulturzentrum in Argentiniens Hauptstadt Buenos Aires zu sehen waren, schrieb der damalige Erzbischof von Buenos Aires, Jorge Bergoglio, der heutige Papst Franziskus, einen Brief: Darin schimpfte er den Künstler als „Gotteslästerer“ und rief zu „einem Tag des Fastens und des Gebets“ auf, damit „der Herr unsere Sünden und die der Stadt vergibt“. Der amtierende Papst unterstützte damit die Proteste vor dem Kulturzentrum. Täglich kamen Dutzende Katholiken zum Gebet vor dem Eingang zusammen. Sie beklagten „51 Beleidigungen von Jesus Christus, 24 der Jungfrau Maria, 27 der Engel und Heiligen, 3 direkt von Gott und 7 des Papstes“. Ein Mann drang damals in die Ausstellung ein und beschädigte eines der Werke schwer. Ferrari reparierte die Installation nie. Stattdessen gab er ihr einen neuen Namen. „Danke, Bergoglio“ heißt das Ensemble, das seither unter anderem ein Foto von Papst Johannes Paul II. zeigt.

Pogba sends United clear at the top with win at Burnley

BURNLEY, England, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Manchester United moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League after a Paul Pogba goal gave them a 1-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday. The victory, in the re-arranged fixture, put United on 36 points from 17 games with rivals Liverpool on 33 points ahead of the clash between the two sides at Anfield on Sunday. The breakthrough came in the 71st minute when Marcus Rashford floated in a ball from the right which Pogba met with a volley that deflected off Burnley defender Matt Lowton and beat the wrong-footed Nick Pope. It is the first time United have been top of the league after 17 games, since December 2012. United skipper Harry Maguire had an effort ruled out in the first half after referee Kevin Friend ruled he had pushed Erik Pieters as he rose to head in a Luke Shaw cross at the back post. Burnley applied some late pressure and felt they should have had a penalty when the ball appeared to hit Maguire's arm and James Tarkowski had a great chance to grab a point for the Clarets but failed to make good contact from a goalscoring position.

By Moira Warburton Jan 12 (Reuters) - Huawei Technologies had a plane waiting to take Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou back to China from Vancouver as a key verdict in her extradition case was to be handed down last May, prosecutors said in a Canadian court on Tuesday. Meng, 48, has been fighting extradition from Canada to the United States since her arrest at Vancouver International Airport over two years ago. She has been charged with bank fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC on Huawei's business dealings in Iran, causing the bank to break U.S. sanctions. In May, a Canadian judge sided with prosecutors representing the Canadian government on a key component of Meng's case, allowing her extradition hearing to continue. That ruling supported the prosecutors' case that Meng's alleged actions were illegal in both Canada and the United States and therefore met the standard of double criminality. Before the ruling was announced, Huawei chartered a 777 Boeing from China Southern Airlines ready to take Meng back to China, should the decision on double criminality come down in her favour, prosecutor John Gibb-Carsley said during a bail variation application hearing on Tuesday. The move was revealed during Gibb Carsley's cross-examination of Meng's husband, Liu Xiaozong, as Huawei lawyers sought to loosen her bail conditions and drop the security detail that monitors her constantly. "Are you aware ... there were arrangements made to take your wife, Ms. Meng, back to China if she was successful in a court decision?" Gibb-Carsley asked. Liu said he was. "Are you aware that members of the Chinese consulate were also involved in making arrangements for that flight being chartered?" Gibb-Carsley said. "I don't know," Liu said. Meng's bail hearing is scheduled to finish on Wednesday. Arguments in her case are set to wrap up in May. (Reporting by Moira Warburton in Toronto; editing by Richard Pullin)

New skin gel 'proven' to heal chronic pain

A breakthrough skin-gel is showing promising signs in Australian trials, with the ability to halt chronic pain in its tracks, halve healing time and even turn back the clock on ageing skin. The gel, which is known as RM191A, is believed to be a new class of anti-inflammatory. It's a copper-based compound which is applied directly to the skin as a topical. "You heal much more rapidly. The pain goes away, you get no swelling, you get no bruising," said Chief Scientist at RR Med Sciences Llewellyn Casbolt. "It's magic, and it's quite remarkable. It's been proven over and over and over." Trials so far show the gel could be a treatment for nerve damage, bruising, sunburn or open wounds. It can reduce inflammation in the body by up to 75 per cent and so far in trials has reduced the skin's healing time from 23 days to between 10 and 12. Mr Casbolt said if applied early, the gel can help to inhibit the progression of trauma, noting that he himself had used it on an injury resulting from a tree branch. "I put the gel on right away. The bruising didn't develop much at all. "In seven days, the wound had healed. There was no bruising, no swelling," he said. Researchers have been studying the formula for the past six years. It's currently in phase two of trials at the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, with testing on 24 people who suffer chronic neuropathic pain to be completed by the end of the month. Researchers are hopeful the gel could be available for topical use by the end of the year.

Im Live-Ticker informiert NDR.de Sie auch heute - am Sonnabend, 9. Januar 2021 - aktuell über die Folgen der Coronavirus-Pandemie für Niedersachsen, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern und Hamburg. Die Nachrichten und Ereignisse von gestern können Sie hier im Blog nachlesen. Das Wichtigste in Kürze Neue Regeln gelten in Niedersachsen und Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ab Sonntag, in Schleswig-Holstein ab Montag Zweite Hotline für Corona-Impftermine in Schleswig-Holstein Zahl der bestätigten Neuinfektionen im Norden: Niedersachsen 1.164, Schleswig-Holstein 513; bundesweit 24.694 Überblick: Tabellen, Karten und Grafiken zu Corona im Norden Hintergrund: So kommen unterschiedliche Fallzahlen zustande Niedersachsen meldet 1.164 Neuinfektionen Die Zahl der gemeldeten neuen Corona-Infektionen bleibt in Niedersachsen auf hohem Niveau. Das Landesgesundheitsamt verzeichnete binnen 24 Stunden 1.164 labordiagnostisch bestätigte Neuinfektionen. Im Zusammenhang mit Covid-19 sind 40 weitere Menschen gestorben. Die Gesamtzahl der Todesopfer stieg damit auf 2.324. Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz ist in Niedersachsen auf jetzt 106,8 Fälle je 100.000 Menschen angestiegen. Vor einer Woche hatte Niedersachsen 516 Fälle gemeldet, am Freitag 1.762. Hamburg: Testpflicht bei Einreise aus Auslands-Risikogebieten gilt Bei einer Einreise aus einem ausländischen Corona-Risikogebiet nach Hamburg müssen sich Menschen seit heute verpflichtend testen lassen. Damit setzt die Hansestadt einen entsprechenden Bund-Länder-Beschluss von dieser Woche um, wie die Gesundheitsbehörde mitteilte. In dem Bund-Länder-Beschluss heißt es, dass der Pflicht mit einem Test maximal 48 Stunden vor Anreise oder unmittelbar nach Einreise nachgekommen werden könne. Laut Gesundheitsbehörde bleibt es unverändert bei der zehntägigen Quarantänepflicht, auch wenn ein erster Test negativ ist. Die Quarantäne könne frühestens nach fünf Tagen durch einen weiteren negativen Test beendet werden. Die Tests müssen selbst bezahlt werden. Ifo-Präsident Fuest: Unternehmen nicht flächendeckend runterfahren Der Lockdown muss verschärft werden - aber nicht in der Wirtschaft: Im NDR Info Interview plädiert Clemens Fuest, Präsident des Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (ifo), für mehr Homeoffice. Unternehmen dürften aber nicht radikal geschlossen werden, sie seien wichtig für die Wertschöpfung. MV setzt Klausuren vorerst aus Im verbleibenden Schulhalbjahr müssen die Schüler in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern keine Klausuren mehr schreiben. Die Gesamtbewertungen können über Zusatzleistungen verbessert werden. Deutlich weniger Fahrgäste im Nahverkehr in Schwerin und Rostock Im vergangenen Jahr haben Busse und Straßenbahnen in Schwerin und Rostock infolge der Corona-Pandemie deutlich weniger Menschen befördert als noch 2019. Die Zahl der Fahrgäste sank in Rostock in diesem Zeitraum von rund 41,5 auf 30,3 Millionen, wie die Rostocker Straßenbahn AG mitteilte. Das Unternehmen rechnet für 2020 mit rund fünf Millionen Euro weniger Einnahmen. Die Ausfälle würden hauptsächlich durch einen Rettungsschirm des Bundes ausgeglichen. Der Schweriner Nahverkehr rechnet mit rund drei Millionen Euro fehlenden Einnahmen. Im vergangenen Jahr wurden in Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Landeshauptstadt rund 12,15 Millionen Menschen in den Straßenbahnen und Bussen befördert, ein Jahr zuvor waren es rund fünf Millionen mehr. Hamburgs Schulsenator Rabe: Lockdown wird tiefe Spuren hinterlassen Hamburgs Schulsenator Ties Rabe (SPD) hat den Corona-Lockdown als eine große Belastung für die Schüler bezeichnet. "Es werden tiefe Spuren hinterlassen bei den Kindern und Jugendlichen, nicht nur im Bereich der kognitiven Bildung, sondern auch im Bereich der sozialen Bildung, auch der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung", sagte der Senator. Die meisten der betroffenen Schüler hätten bereits im vergangenen Frühjahr 13 Wochen Unterrichtsausfall hinnehmen müssen. Beim sogenannten Distanzunterricht werde das Lernen trotz aller Bemühungen nicht die übliche Qualität haben. Seit kurz vor Weihnachten hat Hamburg die Präsenzpflicht an den Schulen aufgehoben. Nach Möglichkeit sollen die Kinder und Jugendlichen zu Hause digital unterrichtet werden. Sie können bei Bedarf aber auch weiter in die Schule kommen. RKI registriert bundesweit 24.694 neue Corona-Fälle Die deutschen Gesundheitsämter haben dem Robert Koch-Institut (RKI) 24.694 Corona-Neuinfektionen binnen eines Tages gemeldet. Außerdem wurden 1.083 neue Todesfälle innerhalb von 24 Stunden verzeichnet, wie das RKI bekanntgab. Der Höchststand von 1.188 neuen Todesfällen war am Freitag erreicht worden.

Intel's self-driving car unit plans to step up use of its own radar...

By Stephen Nellis SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 12 (Reuters) - The head of Intel Corp's self-driving car subsidiary said on Tuesday the company wants to shift toward using its own radar-based technology and use a single lidar sensor per vehicle by 2025 in a bid to lower the cost of autonomous driving. Mobileye has taken a different strategy from many of its self-driving car competitors, with a current camera-based system that helps cars with adaptive cruise control and lane change assistance. Those systems are on the road today and are gathering data to help Mobileye map the roads in new cities. For more advanced systems, the company plans to add both radar sensors, which use radio waves to detect distance from objects, and lidar, a laser-based system that helps self-driving vehicles gain a three-dimensional view of the road. For a planned fleet of so-called robotaxis, which are commercial vehicles meant to ferry around passengers, the company is tapping sensors from Luminar Technologies Inc. In a presentation a the Consumer Electronics Show, Chief Executive Amnon Shashua said on Tuesday that Mobileye's robotaxis will use multiple Luminar units to gain 360-degree lidar, radar and camera coverage all around the vehicle. The robotaxis rolling out in at least eight cities starting in 2022 will each have four Luminar units, Shashua said in a subsequent question and answer session. But Mobileye is also developing its own lidar sensor that it plans to start using in 2025 for cars aimed at consumers. That 2025 consumer system will feature a single lidar unit facing the front of the vehicle, while cameras and a new radar-based system that Mobileye is also developing will cover the entire vehicle. Shashua said Mobileye is developing new ways to process radar data with software that will make radar more powerful. Radar sensors are cheaper than lidar but give a less detailed image. "The difference between radars and lidars in terms of cost is an order of magnitude," he said. "No matter what people tell you about how to reduce the cost of lidar, radar is ten times lower. We are building lidars, so I know exactly the cost of the lidars." In a statement, Mobileye said it plans to continue to use Luminar lidars "as much as possible" after introducing its own lidar sensors. Mobileye plans to offer its self-driving technology to automakers as separate components, meaning that automakers could choose a Mobileye system but use Luminar sensors for the lidar units. Luminar declined to comment. (Reporting by Stephen Nellis in San Francisco Editing by Matthew Lewis)

Pep Guardiola has said Manchester City will not be making any new signings in the January transfer window. After a slow start to the season, City have hit form in recent weeks and have climbed to second in the Premier League after a run of five successive wins. Their growing momentum has also seen them reach the final of the Carabao Cup, the fourth round of the FA Cup and the last 16 of the Champions League. The only notable area of weakness this term has been at centre forward, with both Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus missing a large number of games due to injuries and coronavirus-related self-isolation. With no specialist senior back-up, Guardiola’s alternatives have been deploying winger Ferran Torres as a makeshift striker, Kevin De Bruyne or Raheem Sterling as ‘false nines’ or giving a chance to 17-year-old Liam Delap. But Guardiola told beIN Sports: “We will not sign any deal during the winter transfer market. We did not discuss this, but we will end the season with the players that we have now.” Guardiola accepts there have been times when the lack of a centre forward has been noticeable, but he is convinced there is enough quality in the squad to ensure it is not a major issue. “This is one of our ways,” he said. “There were matches where we needed an attacker but at that time two of them were injured. “One had been injured for a long time – Sergio Aguero. The other two had the coronavirus. “That’s why we sometimes play in this way, other times we are forced to do that because of a pressing need. “It’s an alternative plan, which we can rely on given the talents we have in the various positions.”

The Australian share market has finished down more than 1.1 per cent as investors look to the US for a decision on which political party will control the senate. At the close of trade the S&P/ASX 200 was down 1.12 per cent or 74.8 points to 6,607 points. Among the day's biggest losers were buy-now-pay-later service Afterpay (down 4.49 per cent), baby formula empire the a2 Milk Company (down 4.12 per cent) and retail group Premier Investments (down 4.6 per cent). The day's biggest winners included financial giant AMP (up 2.28 per cent) and Origin Energy (up 2.09 per cent). Much of the market's late losses seemed to stem from the US state of Georgia hanging in the balance as trading closed. In a nutshell, Georgia is having what is known as two "runoff elections". If the incumbent Republican candidates win, their party wins control of the Senate. If the Democrat challengers win, their party wins control of the Senate. As many investors have theorised, their trading strategy may hinge over which political party holds sway in the upper chamber of congress.

Jan 12 (Reuters) - Canadian convenience-store operator Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc said on Tuesday it has initiated exploratory discussions with Europe's biggest retailer, Carrefour SA, regarding a potential transaction. There is no certainty at this stage that these discussions will result in any agreement or transaction, Couche-Tard said in a statement. As of Tuesday, Carrefour has a market capitalization of 12.64 billion euros ($15.43 billion) and Couche-Tard's market capitalization was $37 billion. Extended work-from-home policies and a resurgence in coronavirus cases in several countries have led shoppers to stock their pantries and avoid dining out or ordering in. In a separate statement, Carrefour acknowledged Couche-Tard's approach to discuss a combination. Bloomberg News reported earlier that Couche-Tard has made an initial approach to Carrefour, and a deal could help Couche-Tard diversify into the supermarket business and expand its presence in Europe. (https://bloom.bg/3buwHC9) In Europe, Couche-Tard operates a broad retail network across Scandinavia, Ireland, Poland, the Baltics and Russia through 10 units. Couche-Tard entered the Asian market in November through a deal to buy Convenience Retail Asia Ltd's Hong Kong unit for HK$2.79 billion ($359.80 million).

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has called a special meeting of National Cabinet this Friday to discuss strengthening Australia's COVID-19 protocols for returning travellers. Announcing the unscheduled meeting via social media, Mr Morrison said the UK's new highly transmissible strain will be discussed. It's thought measures such as mandatory testing of passengers before they board a flight to Australia will be considered. "This afternoon I contacted Premiers and Chief Ministers to convene a special meeting of National Cabinet on Friday morning," Mr Morrison wrote. "The meeting is to consider a proposal that I requested through our Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, from our national expert medical panel, the AHPPC. "The proposal is to further strengthen the COVID safety of end to end international travel processes (from arrival at Airport of embarkation in the exit country, to final clearance from hotel quarantine in Australia). This is being done particularly in the context of the UK strain." Mr Morrison said the rollout of a vaccine within Australia will also be discussed. "The AHPPC has continued to meet every day during this most recent outbreak, and had an initial discussion of their proposal today," Mr Morrison wrote. "They will discuss the proposal further tomorrow before making a formal submission to National Cabinet. "The meeting will also provide an opportunity to further update National Cabinet on the Federal Government's vaccination programme, where considerable progress is being made over the break." Debate between state governments has raged over the way internal quarantining of overseas travellers has been conducted. Currently, Sydney accepts the majority of international travellers and that is where they undertake hotel quarantine before taking a connecting flight to their home state.

As expected, the natural grass amphitheater that towers over the 18th green at Riviera Country Club will be void of paying customers when the 2021 Genesis Invitational is contested Feb. 18-21 at Pacific Palisades, Calif. The event, which was won by Australia's Adam Scott in 2020, was one of the last to be played before the PGA Tour paused at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic last spring. "The health and well-being of the community, our players and everyone at the Genesis Invitational remains our top priority," tournament director Mike Antolini said in a release. "Throughout our extensive planning, it became clear that due to the pandemic the best way to ensure the safety for all involved is to hold the tournament without spectators. We are certainly going to miss the roars of the crowds, but we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Riviera next year." The tournament instead will offer "games, activities and more," to keep viewers of the broadcast engaged in the action. Details of the online enhancements will be revealed on the Genesis Invitational website at a later date. The tournament also is offering an online, virtual family village for viewers under 12. The Genesis Invitational, which is the final event of the annual early-season West Coast swing, is scheduled to be broadcast on the Golf Channel and CBS. --Field Level Media

Bitcoin: Top investment bank predicts crypto to hit $188,000 in the long term

One of the world's largest investment banks has theorised that cryptocurrency Bitcoin could reach as high as US$146,000 ($188,430), but it won't happen in 2021. In a research note, JPMorgan & Chase analysts claimed that as money from traditional gold investments flowed to Bitcoin, the two would compete for investment capital. With Bitcoin as an alternative "safe haven" to gold, the analysts gave Bitcoin a long-term price scenario of US$146,000. But the crypto's recent rally – which has seen it push to record highs – may still have some more legs before retreating. "The valuation and position backdrop has become a lot more challenging for Bitcoin at the beginning of the New Year," the research note states. "While we cannot exclude the possibility that the current speculative mania will propagate further pushing the Bitcoin price up toward the consensus region of between $50,000-$100,000, we believe that such price levels would prove unsustainable." Currently one Bitcoin is worth US$33,989 ($43,852). In early September, Bitcoin was valued at around US$10,000 – meaning in four months it has gained almost 240 per cent in value. But investing in Bitcoin is not without risk. In late 2017 the cryptocurrency spiked at more than $25,000 before dropping to $10,500 a month later – essentially wiping more than half its value in 30 days. 1. Bitcoin is a form of online cryptocurrency that allows money to be transferred electronically. It's decentralised, which means no-one regulates or controls it except for market demand. 2. It was created by a group (or a single person) of programmers under the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" in 2009. 3. Bitcoins are "mined" by computers that solve incredibly complex mathematical equations. Like coal or oil, there is a limited number of Bitcoins available to be mined, estimated to be in the ballpark of 21 million. 4. You cannot mine Bitcoin on your home computer, it requires specialised programs and hardware that have increased the difficulty of mining a Bitcoin. 5. Bitcoin experienced a dramatic explosion in value in late 2017, before it experienced one of the most catastrophic value crashes ever seen in currency.

BUENOS AIRES, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Argentina successfully passed clinical trials for a hyperimmune serum to combat COVID-19 developed with antibodies from horses, and its distribution will begin over the next few days, the company involved in the studies said on Tuesday. The serum, to be prescribed at hospitals and other medical facilities, is produced by Argentine biotechnology company Inmunova. "This week it will be ready for distribution," an Inmunova spokeswoman told Reuters. The anti-COVID-19 serum has already completed its last phase of clinical studies, she said. "We are working at the moment with a capacity in the plant of about 60,000 vials per month, that implies between 12 and 15,000 treatments because the treatment is based on the weight of the patient so it varies between 4, 5 or 6 vials per patient" Linus Spatz, director of Inmunova, told media. "After supplying Argentina, we are in contact with several Latin American countries and we are even thinking about increasing capacity further. We believe that in March we will be at 1,000,000 vials per month," he added. According to the latest official data, Argentina has recorded 1,730,921 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 44,654 deaths.

Western Australia's Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner Darren Klemm has warned that the life-threatening Red Gully fire is not likely to be quenched any time soon. The blaze has burned 9500 hectares and has a perimeter of 102 kilometres. Mr Klemm said he predicted firefighters would continue to battle the bushfire well into next week. "This is not something that's going to be resolved in the next day or two," he said. An emergency warning calling for people to leave their homes remains in place, as the DFES warns of continuing adverse conditions that will test containment. "Residents of Ocean Farms Estate and Seaview Park need to remain on high alert and enact their bushfire survival plan now," the DFES has warned. "If you plan to leave, leave now if safe to do so via Indian Ocean Drive in a southerly direction. Your life may be in danger if you stay." Mr Klemm praised firefighters' efforts, saying "really strong" containment lines had been put in place around the blaze. However, he warned that the next few days would bring new challenges, with temperatures set to crack 40C, and windy, dry conditions throughout the state. Hundreds of people fled their homes yesterday, with 270 leaving Ocean Beach. Extra aerial support has been flown in from Victoria, with hundreds of firefighters on the ground. The fire started in Red Gully on Saturday and has burned through thousands of hectares. Watch and act warnings are in place for Beechina and Wedge Island, while several advice warnings are also active around the state. Western Australians have been warned to be on fire safety alert during a week of hot and windy weather, after a fire at Wundowie on the weekend burned to within metres of homes before being contained.

Eigentlich sollten Schüler im zweiten Lockdown notfalls mit Leihcomputern von zu Hause lernen können. Doch viele Bundesländer haben das Sofortprogramm noch nicht umgesetzt. Das liegt nicht nur am Bildungschaos, sondern auch am ungewöhnlichen Fokus auf einen Hersteller. Eigentlich sollte es spätestens nach den Sommerferien 2020 losgehen: Mehr als 500 Millionen Euro stellte der Bund für das sogenannte „Sofortprogramm Endgeräte“ zur Verfügung. Bezahlt werden sollten mit dem Geld Laptops und Tablet-Computer, die in ganz Deutschland an Schüler ausgeliehen werden können, damit sie auch im Fall eines weiteren Lockdowns weiter lernen können. Inzwischen ist klar: Ob Schüler aus einkommensschwächeren Familien, deren Eltern sich keinen Computer für ihre Kinder leisten können, am Unterricht im zweiten Lockdown teilnehmen können, hängt davon ab, wo sie wohnen.

Für das laufende Halbjahr genüge im Notfall eine Note zur Gesamtbewertung. Schüler, die noch gar keine Klausur aus nicht selbst verschuldeten Gründen schreiben konnten, sollen anhand anderer Leistungen bewertet werden. Wenn sie ihre Zeugnisnote noch verbessern wollen, können sie dies freiwillig tun - über Dokumentationen oder Exposés zum Beispiel. Dafür müssten sie sich intensiv mit den Lehrern absprechen, so Martin. Grüne: Schulprüfungen um vier Wochen verschieben Die Grünen haben sich bereits dafür ausgesprochen, die anstehenden Abschlussprüfungen im April um vier Wochen zu verschieben. Bildungsexperte Christopher Dietrich sagte am Freitag, die Schüler bekämen so mehr Vorbereitungszeit. Da das Schuljahr in anderen Bundesländern erst Ende Juli ende, gebe es durch spätere Prüfungen für Schüler im Nordosten auch keine Nachteile bei Bewerbungen um Ausbildungs- und Studienplätze. Präsenzunterricht nur für Abschlussklassen Nach den neuen Corona-Regeln, die vorerst bis Ende Januar gelten, sollen nur die Abschlussklassen vom kommenden Montag an wieder zum Unterricht in die Schule kommen können. Die Pläne, von Mitte Januar an regional wieder Präsenzunterricht für Schüler bis Klasse sechs zu gewährleisten, hat sich das Land verworfen.

DUBLIN, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Ireland is set to receive 1.05 billion euros ($1.28 billion) this year from a European Union fund for the countries worst affected by Britain's exit from the European Union, Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney said on Tuesday. The first 4.2 billion of the 5.4 billion euro fund is due to be distributed this year and Ireland will receive 25%, subject to approval by EU heads of state and the European Parliament, Coveney said in a Twitter post. "Ireland´s initial proposed share in 2021 is 1.05bn euros, 25% of the fund," Coveney said. "I hope the European Parliament & Council approve as we work through Brexit." Irish state broadcaster RTE reported that the government would apply to use the fund to support its agriculture, food and fisheries sectors.

A man returning from the US has been charged by police after allegedly trying to leave his hotel quarantine room. The 43-year-old man arrived in Sydney from Los Angeles last Wednesday and is originally from Queensland. He allegedly refused COVID-19 testing and was therefore required to complete a further 10 days in hotel quarantine, NSW Police said in a statement. It's alleged the man challenged police officers working at the Elizabeth Street hotel by questioning their powers under the Public Health Act. He was physically escorted back to his room by the officers. Extra security guards were stationed on the floor to make sure the man complied with his quarantine order. He has been refused bail and is due to appear at Parramatta Local Court today. In addition to the man, NSW Police have also issued seven other people with infringement notices for breaking COVID-19 restrictions. Last night, police officers broke up a house party at Guildford in Sydney's west. There were about 30 to 40 guests at the party and the 23-year-old homeowner was charged $1000 for the breach and investigations were continuing, police said. Six people have also been fined for allegedly not wearing masks across Greater Sydney up until 5pm yesterday. Most of the people fined for not wearing masks were either travelling on trains or at train stations. A further 29 people were issued with warnings about not wearing masks.

Ambulance workers fearful amid pandemic hospital surge

Ambulance workers on the coronavirus front line have expressed fear over what lies ahead as they brace for the hardest days of the pandemic. Amid mounting pressure on the hospital system, crews are now often waiting hours with patients in parked up ambulances outside packed emergency departments until precious bed spaces become available. The PA news agency accompanied one Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) crew on shift this week. Daniel McCollam, 31, and Ruth Corscadden, 32, work on the region’s north coast and have been responding to coronavirus calls throughout the pandemic. Currently more than a third of all calls to the ambulance service in Northern Ireland involve suspected Covid-19 patients. Of the 4,443 calls received in the last week, 1,514 were coronavirus related (34%). “These next couple of weeks I would imagine are going to be quite scary for everybody involved,” said paramedic Mr McCollam. “I’ve seen nurses in tears worrying about what’s going on at present and what’s yet to come.” The crew’s patch covers the Northern Trust’s hospitals, which have witnessed unprecedented capacity pressures in recent weeks. Around half of all Northern Trust patients are currently Covid-19 positive. At one point last month, 17 ambulances were forced to queue outside Antrim Area Hospital as there was just no room inside to admit their patients. Doctors and nurses resorted to treating the sick in the back of the vehicles in the car park. Monday this week saw Mr McCollam and Ms Corscadden join several other ambulance crews parked up outside Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, all monitoring and comforting patients as they awaited admission. “My longest wait here so far has been four hours with a dementia patient who was very uncomfortable for the four hours,” said Ms Corscadden, who is a student emergency medical technician. “But there’s not much you can do. “You can try and make them as comfortable as possible. “But it’s quite distressing for them at times. “The concern is that the more ambulances queuing here, the less there are to respond to other calls. “So there could be patients out there that are having to wait a lot longer to receive the care they need.” Mr McCollam said lengthy waits were becoming more regular. “Before waits of two or three hours, especially around our area, would have been nearly unheard of – usually we were turning round within the hour,” he said. “Now sometimes it’s becoming an hour or two hours or three hours. “And at some of the bigger hospitals there’s been waits of over seven hours. “We’ve had staff recently finish six or seven hours after their shift finished, purely because there’s no space for them to get their patients offloaded and they have to continue to look after that patient. “So really for us there is a massive increase in pressure as an organisation but also personally as well.” Turing to the hospital, he added: “Everybody in the building behind me is exhausted, but they’re all doing their absolute best. “From the people cleaning, the porters and the doctors and the nurses, every single person is giving it this next big push. “But they are all worried, they’re all scared about what might happen.” Standard personal protective equipment, including masks, aprons and gloves, is now mandatory for every NIAS call out. When emergency care involving aerosol generating procedures is required, the crews have to don full body suits and wear specially-fitted respirator masks and visors. Their vehicles have to undergo intensive cleaning after every patient – another drain on the available shift time to respond to 999 calls. Routine exposure to Covid-19 patients also brings with it a constant concern about infection and a worry that they will bring the virus back to their own families. On Tuesday, 92 of the NI ambulance’s service 1,000 frontline workers were absent due to Covid reasons. When you add those to around 140 off for other reasons, it equates to a service tackling the pandemic’s most severe wave shorn of nearly one in four crew members. At times during recent weeks the absence rate has been higher. Conscious of the risk of infection, Mr McCollam said he has tried to keep distant from his loved ones in his Coleraine home. “I am sitting in other parts of the house,” he said. “It is difficult at times. “I mean sometimes particularly with the pressures at work at the minute you do want somebody to talk to you, or you want to tell somebody about something that happened during your day. “You’re also thinking that the last patient I was with was Covid positive and I was sitting in the back of the ambulance with them for two or three hours. “And you just always worry that you’re going to carry it into the house. “I think it’s a common worry amongst everybody.” Ms Corscadden said it was easy to become paranoid about keeping the virus away from home. “It’s making sure that you’re not going to contaminate your loved ones,” she said. The Limavady woman said the fear of catching the virus was ever present. “We’re just getting used to that fear and learning how to deal with it a little bit better,” she added.

Jan 12 (Reuters) - American Klete Keller, who won two Olympic gold medals as a relay teammate of Michael Phelps, was identified as being among the Donald Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, according to multiple reports. Swimming news website SwimSwam said in a report https://swimswam.com/olympic-gold-medalist-in-us-capitol-during-clashes-video-appears-to-show that at least a dozen people within the sport identified the towering man wearing a U.S. Olympic team jacket inside the building as Keller after reviewing video and screenshots of the riot. USA Swimming did not respond when asked whether they could confirm if Keller was part of the crowd that entered the legislative complex as lawmakers began certifying Democrat Joe Biden's Nov. 3 election victory over Trump. Attempts to reach Keller were unsuccessful. A woman who answered the phone for the Colorado and Ohio-based real estate agency where Keller works told Reuters, "we are not commenting on anything right now" and then hung up. In one of the videos, which was taken by a reporter from conservative news outlet Townhall, a man identified as Keller is seen among the crowd that police officers are trying to push toward the U.S. Capitol exits. Keller is a five-times Olympic medalist who held off Australian great Ian Thorpe on the anchor leg of the 4x200m freestyle relay at the 2004 Athens Games to win gold for the United States. Swimming World also said it confirmed with sources that Keller was seen at the U.S. Capitol and added that the videos do not show any violence on the part of the 38-year-old. According to the New York Times, Keller has deleted his social media accounts, several of which the publication said had included a stream of pro-Trump messaging in recent years. Trump exhorted thousands of supporters to march on the Capitol last Wednesday, prompting chaos in which crowds breached the building and forced the evacuation of both the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives. Five people, including a police officer, died as a result of the rampage. (Reporting by Frank Pingue in Toronto; editing by Grant McCool)

A number of new locations linked to a COVID-19 case have been released after the state recorded four new local cases overnight. This afternoon NSW Health released a list of new locations visited by a person who has since tested positive to the virus. There is a warning in place for a number of venues across Wentworthville, as well as one in Merrylands and two in Mays Hill. LIVE UPDATES: UK begins new lockdown Earlier, of the more than 32,000 people tested overnight, two cases were connected to the Berala cluster. The third local case is a household contact in Avalon, on Sydney's Northern Beaches. A fourth local case was also recorded but was announced yesterday. Acting NSW Premier John Barilaro said lockdown restrictions in the Northern Beaches area would not be eased early. "I know you've been doing it tough. You've been locked down for a period of time, but that was off the back of a significant seeding event, and the transmission of COVID in that area," Mr Barilaro said. "We make these decisions to protect everyone, you, your family, the state and the nation. And I know how hard it's been." One overseas case was also diagnosed in the last reporting period. One of the cases linked to the Berala cluster is the 18-year-old male from western Sydney announced yesterday who travelled to western NSW. There's now 16 cases associated with the Berala cluster. "There was testing of his travel companions of the case first announced yesterday, who visited the towns in western NSW, all have tested negative to date, but remember, they need to be in isolation for the 14 days since their last contact with the gentleman," NSW Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said. The second case was a man in his 20s who is a household contact of a case linked to the Avalon cluster. "This is a household contact that has been in isolation for the full infectious period," Dr Chant said. The third case is from a household contact of a previously reported case from western Sydney whose source remains under investigation. The fourth case is a male in his 30s from western Sydney whose source of infection is currently under investigation. Earlier, Mr Barilaro confirmed a small number of locally acquired COVID-19 cases were linked to the Berala cluster overnight. "I can confirm there are, again, one or two connected to that particular Berala outbreak. But, again, numbers looks okay," Mr Barilaro told Today. Mr Barilaro also revealed the NSW Government has called an emergency meeting this morning to discuss the possibility of lifting lockdown restrictions in Sydney's Northern Beaches early. "We will be discussing all these restrictions and happy at 11am to make any announcements, if there are any," he said. Mr Barilaro said the government was not yet considering imposing lockdown restrictions on the suburbs impacted by the Berala cluster. "At this stage, there is no need for advice from Health that we have to go to a lockdown approach for the Berala or Western Sydney." Mr Barilaro said the lockdown imposed on Sydney's Northern beaches was the result of large infection numbers over the holiday period where people would likely be travelling more widely. A number of suburbs in Sydney's west are this morning on alert for COVID-19 after a four-hour social cricket match was added to the list of locations visited by confirmed case. The following locations are now on alert and anyone who was there during the stated times has been told to get tested: The Berala cluster has sparked concerns over the spread of COVID-19 into regional NSW after it was revealed an 18-year-old infectious male travelled from Sydney's south-west to a number of locations including Orange, Nyngan and Broken Hill. People living in those communities are now being urged to get tested for the virus. NSW recorded a total of eight new cases yesterday — four were locally acquired and four in hotel quarantine.

MADRID, Jan 12 (Reuters) - La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid proved their title credentials yet again by beating in-form Sevilla 2-0 at home on Tuesday to stride four points clear at the top of the standings. Atletico got off to an ideal start when Angel Correa received a pass from returning right back Kieran Trippier and took Sevilla by surprise with a shot which bounced in off the near post to give them the lead in the 17th minute. Midfielder Saul Niguez effectively clinched the victory with a thumping effort from the edge of the area in the 76th to score his first goal of the season and condemn Sevilla to a first defeat in 10 games in all competitions. The victory took Atletico on to 41 points after 16 games, four clear of second-placed Real Madrid who have played 18. (Reporting by Richard Martin Editing by Christian Radnedge)

For the first time in Australian sporting history thousands of fans will have to mask up when the SCG Test gets underway tomorrow in Sydney. The announcement came as more Sydney suburbs were banned from going to the match, or face a $1000 fine. Wentworthville and Belmore have been added to the growing list of suburbs unable to join the crowd at the SCG as a cluster in western Sydney grows. LIVE UPDATES: UK begins new lockdown Health Minister Brad Hazzard said anyone who lives in, works in or has visited the suburbs below will not be permitted to attend the game. Masks will also be mandatory at the SCG during the test - except when eating or drinking. The move comes after the MCG was named as a possible acquisition site after a positive case attended on the second day of the Boxing Day Test. "If you're in an Uber, if you're in a taxi, if you're in a bus, if you're in a queue, if you're in the SCG, at all times, you must wear a mask," Mr Hazzard said. "There will be fines imposed on those who don't wear a mask in those circumstances. "From the moment effectively you get into the transport to get there, and get into the queue at the front door of the SCG, and go to your seat, and sit in the your seat, you must wear a mask. The only exception to that, if you're eating or drinking." People have been advised to travel to the game in a car with a designated driver where possible to avoid large crowds on public transport. Those using trains and buses to attend the game have also been asked to register their Opal card to assist contract tracers in the event of an outbreak or positive case. An additional 450 extra bus and light rail services have been added to support the crowds expected to attend the cricket match. Mr Hazzard defended the state's decision to proceed with the event despite the potential for a seeding event. "To simply say, the put off the test, or to can the test in New South Wales, it wouldn't be productive," he said. "You have to think about people's mental health, the desire to get out there and have aspects of a normal life, recreational aspects, sport, they all give us a sense of wellbeing. "Reports come to my desk on the very sad outcomes when people's mental health suffers."

MILAN, Jan 12 (Reuters) - AC Milan goalkeeper Ciprian Tatarusanu celebrated a rare appearance with a penalty save to help his side to a 5-4 shootout victory following a 0-0 draw with Torino in the Italian Cup on Tuesday. Romanian Tatarusanu saved from Torino´s Tomas Rincon to secure victory for his side and a meeting with either local rivals Inter Milan or Fiorentina in the quarter-finals, with those two sides in action on Wednesday. Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic was given his first start since a thigh injury ruled him out for six weeks in November, but he was replaced at halftime in what was a low-key return. After a tame first half in which neither side created much in the way of goalscoring chances, Milan came out with more purpose in the second and might have been 2-0 up inside the opening 15 minutes. Rafael Leao forced a good save from Vanja Milinkovic-Savic in the Torino goal, before Diogo Dalot should have scored when a rebound fell kindly to him, but his effort skewed onto the post. Milan substitute goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was red-carded on the bench for dissent on a frustrating night as Brahim Diaz blasted over with the best chance of the second half, before Tatarusanu won the game with his shootout heroics.

Testing capacity is ramping up in Sydney's west and regional NSW after a teen went on a road trip while infected with coronavirus. A new clinic has opened in Lidcombe after new cases of community transmission were linked to the Berala cluster overnight. The latest drive-through clinic will be open from 9am to 5pm today, and then every day from 8am to 5pm. The clinic is located at the Sydney University Cumberland Campus, 39 Weeroona Road, Lidcombe, and can be accessed via Gate 3. A new walk-in clinic also opened outside the Berala Public School Hall yesterday and is being dedicated specifically to close contacts of the cluster. Operating hours have also been extended across many western Sydney sites, including drive-through clinics at Merrylands Park and Auburn. There is a fresh push for testing in several regional communities after are a teenager connected to the Berala cluster went on the 900km trip. The teen had visited the Berala BWS shop on Christmas Eve before travelling to Orange, Nyngan, and Broken Hill, with alerts issued over locations he visited. Anyone who visited the Birdie Noshery and Drinking Establishment in Orange on Sunday, January 3 from 12.30pm to 2pm is now considered a close contact and should get tested immediately and isolate regardless of their test result. Anyone who visited the Nyngan Riverside Tourist Park on January 2 and January 3 are also considered close contacts of the teen. "We're urging people in Orange, Nyngan, and Broken Hill to be tested. Clinics will be set up in due course," NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro said. "This is a reminder of what can occur for people who are moving out of Sydney. "We said clearly in the past, if you have any symptoms, if you are concerned, you should limit your mobility." New suburbs in Sydney on alert include Parramatta, where an infected person played in a cricket match. Other new alerts include: - Merrylands RSL on December 28 between 4pm and 4.45pm - Saravanaa Bhavan Indian restaurant in Parramatta on December 28 between 10.20am and 10.50am - Sydney Murugan Temple in Mays Hill on January 1 between 12.40pm and 1.30pm - Sydney Marina Dine In & Take Away at Pendle Hill on January 3 between 12.30pm and 12.50pm.

Trump administration, U.S. states move to step up vaccinations

By Peter Szekely and Dan Whitcomb NEW YORK, Jan 12 (Reuters) - The Trump administration moved on Tuesday to accelerate vaccinations of Americans against COVID-19, releasing the rest of the doses it had been keeping in reserve and recommending states immediately open inoculations to those age 65 and over. Health officials at the state and federal level have scrambled in recent days to step up vaccination programs that had given shots to only 9.3 million Americans, as coronavirus infections remain at record highs in many U.S. states 12 days into the new year. Many U.S. states had strict rules in place giving shots to healthcare workers and nursing home residents first, telling so-called "non-essential workers" they might have to wait months for their turn. "We've already distributed more vaccine than we have healthcare workers and people in nursing homes," U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told ABC News. "We've got to get to more channels of administration." Roughly 27.5 million doses have been distributed by the U.S. government to states so far, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Azar said the administration, which had been keeping doses in reserve to make sure that all those who got a first inoculation receive their second shot on schedule, was now confident enough in the supply chain to release that stockpile. Last week, a spokesman for President-elect Joe Biden said Biden, who takes office Jan. 20, would release more of the reserved doses. The pace of vaccinations has risen to 700,000 per day nationwide and was expected hit 1 million per day within 10 days, officials said. 'READY TO GET MORE SHOTS IN ARMS' "Michigan and states across the country remain ready to get more shots in arms, which is why the Trump Administration´s decision to grant our request and release millions of doses of the vaccine is so crucial," Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer said in a written statement. Whitmer, who had backed the lower vaccination age, is seeking permission from the U.S. government to purchase 100,000 vaccine doses directly from manufacturer Pfizer Inc. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the vaccine from Pfizer and partner BioNTech SE and a second vaccine from Moderna Inc for emergency use. As of Monday night, the United States has reported a total of 22.5 million coronavirus infections and 376,188 deaths during the pandemic. Nearly 130,000 Americans were hospitalized with COVID-19 at midnight on Monday. A Reuters tally has shown that the number of COVID-19 patients requiring hospitalization may have leveled off, at least temporarily, although public health officials warn that further spread may still be seen from holiday gatherings. The latest surge has potentially been compounded by a more infectious variant of the virus first seen in the United Kingdom and now found in at least 10 U.S. states - California, Florida, New York, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Connecticut, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Texas. Not all U.S. governors welcomed the Azar's direction to widen the group of Americans eligible for vaccines. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said he would grudgingly agree to include people as young as 65 and those with pre-existing conditions, even though he personally opposes it. "The policy and the intelligence of the federal system eludes me," Cuomo told a news briefing. Cuomo said including people who are immuno-compromised, a poorly defined category that he said could include smokers and the obese, could lead to more than 7 million people vying for the 300,000 doses received by New York each week. Cuomo initially restricted shots to healthcare workers and nursing home residents but last week agreed to include several groups of so-called "essential workers" and people age 75 and older. Public health experts have said no U.S. state has so far come close to using up its federal allotments of vaccines.

Two health care workers are being investigated over potential breaches of personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols in Western Australia. One is a paramedic who transported a woman in her 80s with COVID-19 to Royal Perth Hospital just days ago. The woman had returned on a flight from the United Kingdom on January 2. The paramedic is now in hotel quarantine. A second possible PPE breach by a health care worker is also being investigated. Three new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in Western Australia today. "Our systems require people to wear the appropriate PPE," Premier Mark McGowan said. Mr McGowan said concerns over the potential breaches would be discussed by the state's emergency management committee, but confirmed WA was well-stocked with the right equipment. "There is plenty of PPE, I'll just make that clear," he said.

Soccer-Pogba sends United clear at the top with win at Burnley

By Simon Evans BURNLEY, England, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Manchester United moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League after a Paul Pogba goal gave them a hard-fought 1-0 win over Burnley at a freezing Turf Moor on Tuesday. The victory, in the re-arranged fixture, put United on 36 points from 17 games with rivals Liverpool on 33 points ahead of the clash between the two sides at Anfield on Sunday. The breakthrough came in the 71st minute when Marcus Rashford floated in a ball from the right which Pogba met with a volley that deflected off the outstretched leg of Burnley defender Matt Lowton and beat the wrong-footed Nick Pope. It is the first time United have been top of the league after 17 games since December 2012 and the victory was their seventh in eight games away from Old Trafford. While United did not create as much as they would have expected against a team in 16th place, it was a determined and aggressive display from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. "We had to dig in and earn it and we did," said the United manager. "We feel very confident going into games. Away from home we have really done well. We have to believe in ourselves and we do. We've done a great job, it's good times. It's a test against the champions (on Sunday) who have been fantastic, that's a great test for us," he said. United skipper Harry Maguire had an effort ruled out in the first half after referee Kevin Friend ruled he had pushed Erik Pieters as he rose to head in a Luke Shaw cross at the back post. Burnley applied some late pressure and felt they should have had a penalty when the ball appeared to hit Maguire's arm. James Tarkowski had a great chance to grab a point for the Clarets but failed to make good contact from a goalscoring position. United should have wrapped up the win in the final minutes but Anthony Martial, through on goal, was denied by the legs of Pope. Burnley, were gritty and aggressive but Juergen Klopp's Liverpool side at Anfield will offer a very different prospect. "Of course we know we're going to the champions they've had an unbelievable three seasons so we're ready for it. But we're ready and we're excited, we're hungry for it and it's a test of character and quality again. We're in a good position going into it," said Solskjaer.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Gesundheitsminister Glawe hat sein Vorhaben bekräftigt, dass spätestens bis zum Ende des Sommers im September alle Impfwilligen im Land eine Corona-Schutzimpfung bekommen. Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns Gesundheitsminister Harry Glawe (CDU) bleibt bei seiner Prognose, die Impfung der Einwohner im Land noch im Sommer abzuschließen. Nach dem MV-Gipfel der Landesregierung sagte Glawe, er gehe davon aus, dass die Bevölkerung im Nordosten bis zum Sommerausklang im September durchgeimpft sei. Die Impfungen seien gut angelaufen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern habe dabei das bundesweit höchste Tempo angeschlagen. "Wir reden nicht so viel, wir arbeiten", meinte Glawe am Freitag in Schwerin. Versorgung mit Impfstoff entscheidend Eine Durchimpfung der Bevölkerung mit dem Effekt eines sogenannten Herdenschutzes sei bis zum Sommer "leistbar". Entscheidend sei, dass der Nachschub mit Impfstoff an Fahrt gewinne. "Das andere kriegen wir logistisch im Land geregelt. Wir haben hochprofessionelle Leute", sagte Glawe. Es gebe eine hohe Bereitschaft ehemaliger Ärzte, die Impfkampagne zu unterstützen. Bislang hätten sich 500 gemeldet. Impfung der über 80-Jährigen läuft an Am Freitag ist eine Lieferung Impfstoff in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern eingetroffen, weiterer Impfstoff ist laut Glawe auf dem Weg. In der kommenden Woche werde dies auch der Impfstoff des US-Unternehmens Moderna sein. Dann sollen die Immunisierungen auch in den zwölf Impfzentren durchgeführt. Es seien bereits erste Anschreiben an über 80-Jährige mit Impfterminen verschickt worden, so der Gesundheitsminister. Unter einer Hotline können sich Menschen melden, die diese Schreiben erhalten haben. MV bei Impfquote mit Abstand vorn Nach Daten des Robert Koch-Instituts war Mecklenburg-Vorpommern bis Freitagmittag bei den Impfungen deutlich führend: Mit 15 Impfungen pro 1.000 Einwohner hat das Land in Deutschland demnach den höchsten Wert - im bundesweiten Durchschnitt sind nur 5,7 von 1.000 Einwohnern geimpft.

Soccer-Keane seals win for Everton at Wolves

WOLVERHAMPTON, England, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Everton claimed a sixth win from nine away games this season as Michael Keane's late header earned them a 2-1 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers to move them into fourth spot in the Premier League on Tuesday. A lively opening saw Alex Iwobi fire Everton in front before Ruben Neves replied for Wolves. Wolves had looked the more likely winners in a dull second half but Keane's towering header in the 77th minute sealed maximum points for Carlo Ancelotti's side. Everton moved into the top four with 32 points from 17 games while Wolves dropped a place to 14th spot with 22. Without injured striker and talisman Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton's goal threat looked diminished, but Iwobi scored his first Premier League goal for 15 months and England defender Keane proved an unlikely match winner. "I thought we showed brilliant character. We had a few players missing today but showed the strength of the squad," the former Burnley defender said. "We are a massive threat from set plays. It wins us games so it is massive. I thought the lads did really well, everyone worked their socks off." Everton have scored nine headed goals this season, more than any other team in the top flight, and Keane's effort would have got a nod of approval from the club's former aerial wizards such as Bob Latchford and Duncan Ferguson. When Andre Gomes had the ball out on the left there appeared to be no immediate danger but his outswinging cross was met by a soaring Keane whose thumping header arrowed into the corner past a helpless Wolves keeper Rui Patricio. It was slightly harsh on Wolves who almost levelled again when Neves curled a free kick against the outside of the post. "Details. Details. Details. It is happening to us, we have to improve set pieces focus," Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo said after his side's third league loss in five games. Iwobi has often flattered to deceive since joining from Arsenal but his sixth-minute opener was beautifully taken. A sweeping move saw James Rodriguez pick out Lucas Digne and his ball inside was met sweetly by Iwobi whose first-time shot took a slight deflection off Conor Coady and past Patricio. Wolves trailed for only seven minutes though as Neves showed great skill to direct a volley past Jordan Pickford from Rayan Ait-Nouri's driven cross. Everton were well-organised in the second half, however, and Keane's header continued their superb away form. "If you win here you have to have a good performance. We had a good game," Ancelotti said. "The game was in the balance, we won thanks to Michael Keane, who scored a fantastic goal." (Reporting by Martyn Herman Editing by Toby Davis)

Substantial variation in previous Covid infection rates - study

[]
The number of people who have previously had a Covid-19 infection varies “substantially” across the UK, new figures show. In some regions one person in 20 has previously been infected with coronavirus, according to data from December 2020. This compares with one in six in other regions, according to a study which measured antibodies in people across the UK. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has estimated that 5.4 million people aged 16 and over in England have previously had a Covid-19 infection. This equates to 12.1% of people over 16, meaning that one in eight adults across the country is thought to have previously been infected. In Wales, the figure is one in 10, in Scotland one in 11 and in Northern Ireland one in 13. The ONS estimates that an average of 247,000 people over the age of 16 in Wales have Covid-19 antibodies, with a figure of 398,000 for Scotland and 115,000 in Northern Ireland. Across England, “there is substantial variation in antibody positivity between regions”, its report states. The percentage testing positive for Covid-19 antibodies in each region was as follows: – Yorkshire and the Humber 16.8% – London 16.4% – North West 15.1% – West Midlands 14.3% – East Midlands 12.7% – North East 12.5% – South East 8.3% – East of England 8.1% – South West 4.9% This means that the South East, East and South West all have rates below the average in England, while others have higher-than-average rates. The number of people who test positive for antibodies indicates how many people have previously had the infection. Experts analysed blood samples from people across the UK to come to the conclusions. But they warned that the length of time Covid-19 antibodies are detectable in the blood is not known. The ONS study measures antibodies in people who live in private households across the UK. It does not include those in hospitals, care homes or other institutional settings. Commenting on the figures, Lawrence Young, virologist and professor of molecular oncology at Warwick Medical School, said: “This raises some important questions concerning the possible impact of the UK variant virus on infection rates – this variant is more transmissible and may account for the increased levels of infection as detected by antibodies. “It is also interesting from the perspective of the vaccine. We are still not sure about the impact of vaccination on the levels and duration of protective immunity in those previously infected with Sars-CoV-2.”

Return to work plans delayed in Victoria due to COVID-19 outbreak

Plans for Victoria's public workforce to return to the office have been delayed by a week due to the state's coronavirus outbreak. The public service was meant to begin a phased return to work of 25 per cent of its workforce next week, with commercial offices set to increase their staff on-site to 50 per cent. However, health advice has advised the changes to pause for a further week. LIVE UPDATES: New cases linked to Western Sydney cluster "This is so we can continue to monitor very closely the situation in both New South Wales and also respond to the known Black Rock cluster here in Victoria," Acting Premier Jacinta Allan said. "We're keen to see no further cases emerge beyond those previously identified through the primary close contacts." The decision comes as Victoria recorded one new locally acquired case of COVID-19 today, which is being regarded as a mystery infection. Thousands are on high alert after the case - a man in his 30s - attended the Boxing Day Test on December 27 and Chadstone Shopping Centre on December 26, before testing positive on January 5. Public transport users have also been urged to register their Myki cards after a number of services were added to the state's list of exposure sites. Ms Allan said the measure would assist health authorities with contact tracing by being able to contact people who have a registered Myki card. A total of seven services have been identified as possible exposure sites across the network. "We're encouraging Victorians who use public transport, who use a Myki card, to go and register that card, create an account," she said. "We're wanting people who think they've travelled on these services to contact the department."

Hawks, Suns shoot to get back on track

Two teams struggling to live up to the early promise they showed this season will meet Wednesday night when Phoenix hosts Atlanta. The Suns started the season with five victories in six games but are just 2-3 since Jan. 3. The Hawks opened with four victories in five games, then went on a four-game losing streak that ended Monday with a 112-94 home victory over Philadelphia. While the Suns will open a three-game home stretch, the Hawks will begin a three-game trip in the West, which ends with stops at Utah and Portland. The Suns concluded a 1-2 East Coast road swing Monday with a 128-107 loss to Washington. The Wizards were on a three-game losing streak and hadn't won at home when they entered the game. The Wizards also were playing without star guard Russell Westbrook (quad) and center Thomas Bryant, who was lost for the season last week because of a partially torn ACL. Suns guard Devin Booker scored 33 points, but the team shot just 14.8 percent (4 of 27) from 3-point range. Phoenix also played without backup point guard Cameron Payne (ankle) for a second consecutive game, with Chris Paul recording 14 points and 11 assists in a team-high 36 minutes. "This is just one of those stinkers that you want to flush and hurry up and get back on the floor, but we as a group, collectively, have to understand what works for us," Suns coach Monty Williams said. The suggestion is that the Suns will dictate the pace Wednesday instead of letting their opponent do so, which is what happened at Washington. The Hawks asserted themselves Monday against the 76ers, with Trae Young scoring 26 points. De'Andre Hunter and Brandon Goodwin added 15 each. It was a bounce-back game for Young, who scored seven and 15 points in back-to-back games against the Charlotte Hornets. He was a combined 7 of 28 (25 percent) from the field in those games and 0 of 8 from 3-point range. He was 3 of 7 from behind the arc Monday against Philadelphia. "It felt good to actually get some shots going in," Young said. "(I) had a really good warm-up and just kind of carried it over to the game, and it felt good." Helping the Hawks was a 21-2 advantage in fast-break points against Philadelphia. "We tried to get as many easy baskets as we could from running, but I enjoyed the way our guys played," Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce said. "It was good to see our guys play that way, and how do we sustain it is the next question, but that's what we'll focus on." The victory also was much needed after the Hawks learned guard Bogdan Bogdanovic would miss significant time because of a fractured right knee. The injury occurred in Saturday's loss against the Hornets. Hawks guard Tony Snell played in his first game Monday after being out with a foot injury. He was 0 of 3 from the field in seven minutes and did not score. --Field Level Media

Health authorities are rushing to alert thousands of people after a man tested positive to COVID-19 after going to the MCG on December 27 and Melbourne's Chadstone Shopping Centre on Boxing Day. The man in his 30s is Victoria's one new locally acquired case of COVID-19 announced today and his infection is being regarded as a mystery case. He is currently isolating and is not believed to have been infectious while at the Boxing Day Test or at Chadstone. The MCG and Chadstone are being investigated as a potential source for the infection. LIVE UPDATES: New cases linked to Western Sydney cluster "He developed symptoms on 30 December and the department was notified of the positive test result on 5 January," Acting Premier Jacinta Allan said. "Contact tracing, that has gone on throughout the night, has revealed he stayed home since 31 December and got tested." Two further coronavirus infections were also identified in hotel quarantine. The state's active cases have risen to 41 after more than 37,000 tests were conducted in the past 24 hours. Health authorities are also investigating a possible New South Wales link to the man's infection. "We're encouraging anyone who was at the cricket and who was seated in the Great Southern Stand, Zone 5, between 12.30pm and 3.30pm to go and get tested and isolate until they receive a result," Ms Allan said. "A COVID-safe plan was in place at the MCG for this cricket event and excellent ticketing allocation system was put in place by the MCG." Anyone who was seated within the Zone 5 bubble will receive a text message in the next couple of hours, advising them of the confirmed case and requesting they get tested. Officials believe 2400 people were in Zone 5 at the MCG on December 27. The man attended Chadstone Shopping Centre from 6am to 2pm on Boxing Day. A total of 10 stores have been listed on the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) website as potential acquisition sites, including Culture Kings, Huffer, JD Sports, Jay Jays, H&M, Uniqlo, Myer, Superdry, Footlocker and Dumplings Plus. Victoria's COVID-19 response commander Jeroen Weimar said health authorities have been tracking the man's phone movements around Chadstone. "We're particularly interested in those who went to those stores on Boxing Day and who did not feel well - please, come forward to get tested," he said. "We will be identifying the time zones that the individual was in these stores. "Again, we would encourage people to check in again during the course of the day." Anyone who attended the locations during the times identified must get tested and self-quarantine until they receive a negative result, the DHHS website states. Additional testing sites will be set up to cater to the influx of people expected to come forward, including at the MCG. Deputy Chief Health Officer Dr Allen Cheng said it is possible there may be a second cluster in the state, following news of the mystery infection. "His household contacts have been spoken to, as well as visitors to his house and they'll be put into quarantine for the 14 days and tested," Dr Cheng said. "The upstream contacts are the people that we're most concerned about. These are the people he has been in contact with in the 14 days prior to the symptoms starting." The case is being retested and genomics are being undertaken on the initial sample. Thousands still stranded in NSW The Victorian Government has processed and granted 295 exemptions for Victorians stuck in NSW to cross the border and return home. Mr Weimar said staff in the exemptions team have been boosted to about 40 people to enable the process to move quicker. More than 3000 requests to re-enter Victoria by January 31 are yet to be processed. "I'm confident we're getting on top of the urgent critical cases now," he said. "There'll be difficult decisions to be made, let's not shirk that, but we'll prioritise the urgent cases and get to those others." Virus exposure sites grow Shoppers who visited a South Melbourne Nike store while a person with COVID-19 shopped inside are also on high alert. Nike on Buckhurst Street in South Melbourne has been listed as an exposure site after a positive case shopped in store on December 30, between 12pm-12.45pm. The DHHS has issued advice, directing anyone who visited the store between the times indicated to get tested and quarantine for 14 days from the date of exposure. While anyone who visited Culture Kings Melbourne on Russell Street between 1pm-1.30pm on December 30 must monitor for symptoms. Advice has also been updated for diners who attended Nandos Elizabeth Street in Melbourne on January 1 between 2am-2.30am, with all patrons ordered to quarantine and get tested. Other risk locations recently added include Sri Lankan restaurant Tamarind 8 in Narre Warren, where a case picked up take away on December 30 between 6.30pm-7pm. Mr Weimar yesterday said wait times at test sites had improved, urging people to come forward for testing. "It's important if there's an exposure site you have been at in those time windows, if you have any concerns you may have overlapped with a positive case, we would ask you to go and get tested and to isolate and contact us so we can work with you and support you to do the right thing and to ensure we can contain the spread of this outbreak quickly," Mr Weimar said. The Tasmanian Government has classed the 18 locations in Victoria which are listed on the DHHS website as high-risk exposure sites as hot spots. Travellers who have been in the areas during the specified dates and times have been locked out of the state, and must apply for an exemption if they wish to enter. The Black Rock outbreak at the centre of Victoria's coronavirus flare-up spans across 14 households and contains 27 active cases, with no new cases linked to the cluster today.

Londoners wake to snow as 'Beast from the East' sweeps UK

Londoners have woken up to snow this morning as ice warnings blanket the north east of England - amid predictions Britain could see a return of the 'Beast from the East' as temperatures dropped as low as -11C. There was a light dusting on the M25 at Orpington and on the M26 in Sevenoaks this morning, with more wintry showers predicted for the South East and London later tonight. Others in nearby Biggin Hill, as well as South London and in Gloucestershire awoke to dumpings of the white stuff. It comes as temperatures dropped as low -8C in Kinbrace, Scotland yesterday, with other parts of the country seeing temperatures as low as 11C today.. It comes as conditions could follow those seen during the 'Beast from the East' - a 2018 cold wave that brought freezing temperatures and snow storms to Britain. Earlier this week Met Office forecaster John Griffiths told MailOnline it was to soon to tell if a 'sudden stratosphere warming' would bring similar conditions to three years ago. Temperatures are not expected to get above 5C this morning - and will likely stay in single digits for most of this week. A yellow warning for ice is currently in place, stretching from Nottingham to Edinburgh, as well as in Aberdeen and Belfast. The Met Office has warned people could suffer injuries from slips and falls, adding there will be some 'some icy patches on untreated roads, pavements and cycle paths'. A Met Office forecast for today read: 'Many central and northwestern parts dry with sunny spells, whilst further wintry showers affect the east. 'Rain, sleet and snow reaching northwest Scotland later. Cold. 'Wintry showers east and southeast. Clear spells elsewhere with frost, severe across central parts. Rain, sleet and snow moving southeast across Scotland and Northern Ireland, turning icy in places.' It is predicting a wet and snowy week across Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England throughout the rest of the week. The weather is expected to warm up slightly in the north by the weekend, but largely dry and cold in the south.

Colombia locks down, Thailand facing second wave, South Africa 'runs out of coffins'

January is beginning as a grim month around the globe as the coronavirus resurges and reshapes itself from Britain to Japan to California. Mexico City hospitals hold more virus patients than they ever have and Germany reported one of its highest daily death tolls to date on Tuesday. Even virus success story Thailand is fighting an unexpected wave of infections. Doctors are facing or bracing for rising numbers of COVID-19 patients after end-of-year holiday gatherings. More and more countries are reporting cases of a new, more contagious variant of the virus that has already rampaged across Britain. "We are in a race to prevent infections, bring cases down, protect health systems and save lives while rolling out two highly effective and safe vaccines to high-risk populations. This is not easy. These are the hard miles," World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. Colombia brings back lockdowns As the holiday season winds down, Colombia is experiencing a sharp rise in coronavirus infections that has prompted several cities to impose curfews and stay at home measures that had not been implemented for months. In the capital city of Bogota, the local government locked down three districts that have a population of about 2.5 million people, ordering all businesses except for supermarkets and pharmacies in that part of the city to close. In Medellin, Colombia's second-largest city, authorities announced a curfew that will last from 10pm to 5am every day until next week. Night-time curfews have also been adopted in the city of Cali and in some towns along Colombia's Caribbean coast where thousands of tourists are still spending their holidays. Colombia was reporting around 8000 new coronavirus infections per day at the end of November, but transmission appears to have risen in December as people travelled for the holidays, met with their families, and in some cases, held mass gatherings and dance parties, despite a government ban on such activities. Over the past week, the South American country has been reporting more than 11,000 infections per day, while in some cities ICU wards for coronavirus patients have reached 90 per cent occupancy rates. In Bogota, 23 hospitals – out of 60 – reported on Monday that their ICU wards were fully occupied. UK hospitals stagger as new virus variant takes huge toll Britain is facing a long, bleak winter as cold, wet weather and a more contagious variant of the coronavirus put unprecedented strain on the nation's hospitals and force record numbers of patients to wait 12 hours or more, sometimes on ambulance gurneys, before receiving treatment. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has ordered a third national lockdown requiring everyone in England to stay at home for at least the next six weeks except for exercise, medical appointments, essential shopping and a few other limited exceptions. "It's not hyperbole to say that the (National Health Service) is going through probably the toughest time in living memory,″ said Siva Anandaciva, chief analyst of the King's Fund, a UK think tank that focuses on health and social care Under the latest lockdown, schools and outdoor sports facilities are closed along with bars, restaurants, hair salons, gyms, theatres and most shops. "The weeks ahead will be the hardest yet, but I really do believe that we are entering the last phase of the struggle," Mr Johnson told the nation Monday night. "Because with every jab that goes into our arms, we are tilting the odds against COVID-19 and in favour of the British people." Brazil's death toll soars Brazil's number of patients in intensive care reached its highest level since August, just as the nation reopened shops and offices after the end-of-year holidays — and the vast country still hasn't approved or received any vaccines. Some Brazilian hospitals reinstalled refrigerated containers outside to hold the corpses of COVID-19 victims. South Africa 'runs out of coffins' Zimbabwe reintroduced a curfew, banned public gatherings and indefinitely suspended the opening of schools. In South Africa, which is seeing yet another fast-spreading variant of the virus and is the continent's hardest-hit nation, authorities re-imposed a curfew, banned liquor sales and closed most beaches. South Africa's undertakers are struggling to cope with the rise in deaths, National Funeral Practitioners Association of SA President Muzi Hlengwa told state broadcaster SABC. "It is something that you have never seen before. ... We have run out of coffins, we have run out of space at the mortuary," he said. "We normally have cremations during the day, but now we have cremations even at night." Thailand facing second wave Thailand is facing a surge that has infected thousands in the past few weeks, blamed on complacency and poor planning. The government is locking down large parts of the country, including the capital, Bangkok, and considering tougher measures. Thailand reported 527 new coronavirus cases, most of them migrant workers who already were isolated, and the government said it was tightening movements of people around the country. Of the new cases confirmed Tuesday, 439 were migrants, 82 were local transmissions and six were in quarantined travellers, the Centre of COVID-19 Situation Administration said. The total was a drop from the 745 registered Monday, the all-time high in Thailand, where the first case of the virus outside China was detected last January. Although it has cancelled public activities and gatherings and shut schools, bars and other places where people gather, the government has not yet taken measures as strict as those that it imposed in March — when it successfully stamped out local transmission. Malls and department stores remain open with social distancing required, and indoor dining at restaurants is allowed until 9pm. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha instead implored people to stay home. "We don't want to lock down the entire country because we know what the problems are, so can you all lock down yourselves?" he said. "This is up to everyone, if you don't want to get infected just stay home for 14 to 15 days." Japan to declare state of emergency while India's infections decline Japan is getting ready to declare a state of emergency this week, beefing up border controls and speeding up vaccine approval after a surge of cases around New Year's Eve. Yet India offers a glimmer of hope. Its infection rate is down significantly from a September peak, and the country is kicking off one of the largest inoculation programs in the world, aiming at vaccinating 300 million people by August. United States lags on vaccinations In the US, where over 350,000 people have died, some states are struggling to secure enough shots and organise vaccinations. Distribution hiccups and logistical challenges have slowed the initial coronavirus vaccine rollout in California. Governor Gavin Newsom said the pace is "not good enough." Only about one per cent of California's 40 million residents have been vaccinated. About 454,000 doses of the vaccine have been administered — just a quarter of the 1.3 million doses the state has received so far. The state's death toll on Monday topped 26,500 and confirmed cases neared 2.4 million since the pandemic began. California's hospitals are swamped with more than 22,000 COVID-19 patients. According to data through January 4 from Johns Hopkins University, the seven-day rolling average for daily new deaths in the US rose over the past two weeks from 2,655.3 on December 21 to 2,664.9 on January 4. The number of COVID-19-related deaths in the US stands at 353,628. The Netherlands has come under heavy criticism for being the last European Union nation to start inoculations, which it will do Wednesday. Australia isn't planning to do so until March. And most poorer countries are even further behind.

Anyone shocked by the US Capitol attack has ignored an awful lot of warning signs
The Guardian

[ "Francine Prose" ]

Perhaps the most powerful shocks, the most painful surprises, are the ones that we saw coming yet refused to believe would happen. Our ability to fear something and, at the same time, assume it will never occur is one aspect of human nature that seems particularly ill-suited to our continued wellbeing and survival. Throughout the 6 January attack on the US Capitol, as journalists and politicians expressed their stunned astonishment, one couldn’t help wondering: hadn’t they heard about the hundreds of people, some of them armed, who stormed the Michigan state capitol building in April, objecting to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s stay-at-home order? Had they forgotten that a young woman was killed during the August 2017 Unite the Right march in Charlottesville, Virginia – a neo-Nazi event that Donald Trump declined to unequivocally condemn? Had their interns not been keeping up with – and informing their bosses about – the popular Twitter feeds and Facebook pages of far-right hate groups and extremist conspiracy theorists? Had no one explained that the Proud Boys’ T-shirt insignia – 6MWE – means “Six Million [Jews] Weren’t Enough”? During the assault on the Capitol, as I listened to the panic and horror in the voices of the journalists who, until now, had reported on Donald Trump with something closer to detached disapproval, I wondered: is this what it takes to finally make them understand who this man is – and what he wants for our country? What did they think he meant when he tweeted about the gathering planned for 6 January: “Be there. It will be wild.” Even as the “wild” rioters were scaling the walls of the Capitol, some news media persisted in calling them “protesters” and “demonstrators”. These insurgents were far more than that. Images of politicians sheltering in “safe locations” in the Capitol complex reminded me of how, on 13 November 2015, my son – whose band was playing at the Trianon theater in Paris that evening – sheltered backstage while jihadis murdered 89 people at the Bataclan auditorium, a few blocks away. The difference between protesters and terrorists is critical. Demonstrators are expressing their response to a policy, an event or a series of events – systemic racism, for example. But terrorists plot violent mayhem, rehearse, fail, come up with a new plan, try again and again until they succeed. We all recall that the destruction of the World Trade Center was preceded by a 1993 attempt to bomb the WTC parking garage. The attack on the Michigan state capitol and the Charlottesville march were rehearsals for what transpired in DC last week. Donald Trump is clearly responsible for the 6 January attack. His speech to the crowd that day was an incitement to violence. But it would be a mistake to imagine that the fury and lawlessness of his supporters will disappear when he retires to Mar-a-Lago, goes to jail or begins campaigning for the 2024 presidential election. It’s important to recall that Trump has been the accelerant but not the fuel, not the kindling that has allowed the flames of hatred and bigotry, of anti-democratic rightwing fanaticism to blaze as brightly as they do now. Many of us have a film clip or photo, taken on 6 January, that most haunts us. A friend posted an image of some thugs trying to burn a heap of costly equipment – cameras, recorders, microphones – abandoned, during the rout, by Associated Press reporters. But the image I find most troubling is a short video clip of a dozen or so rioters idly wandering the Senate floor, picking up papers from the senators’ desk, then strolling on. If these Trump loyalists believe – as they kept chanting – that the duly-elected, soon-to-be Biden-Harris administration is not their government, it’s not only because their president told them so. And the framed portraits, the statuary, the gleaming chandeliers they saw in the Capitol building were unlikely to change their minds. The interlopers on the Senate floor looked less triumphant than bewildered, and their bewilderment is not unrelated to the sources of their rage: the massive income inequality, the epidemic unemployment, the opioid and Covid pandemics, the sense of being excluded and forgotten that helps inspire xenophobia, racism, sexism and violence. The rapid decline of our public educational system and the rise of far-right media are not unrelated; among the things that education gives us is the ability to think, to distinguish the truth from the lie, to process and evaluate the information we’re given. These are the problems and the perils that the Biden-Harris administration will have to deal with, and which all the palliative talk about unity, reconciliation, and “working across the aisle” is not going to come remotely close to fixing. Let’s be clear: the Biden-Harris administration has exactly four years to repair some large part of the damage that’s been done – a short time to begin a massive and necessary project. Otherwise, these violent groups are going to rehearse, retry, recoup, try again and again – until they succeed. With or without Donald Trump, the violence, if it ever goes away, will come roaring back. Lawmakers like Josh Hawley, loudly voicing their objections to the 2020 election results, are already campaigning for the job of anti-democratic dictator in 2024. Unless some substantive changes are made – something more sweeping than the middle-of-the-road policy tweaks that seem to be in the offing – the next coup attempt may very well succeed. And we’ll be left to marvel at something else that we always suspected was possible, but that we never believed would actually happen here, and certainly not to us.

Civil rights groups demand Google remove Trump's YouTube channel

By Sheila Dang Jan 12 (Reuters) - U.S. civil rights groups will organize an advertiser boycott against Alphabet's YouTube if it does not remove President Donald Trump's channel, the groups told Reuters. Jim Steyer, one of the organizers of the "Stop Hate for Profit" campaign which led over 1,000 advertisers to boycott Facebook in July, said the groups are demanding YouTube take down Trump's verified YouTube channel, which has 2.76 million subscribers. YouTube is the last major tech company that has not banned Trump from posting on its platforms. Facebook, Twitter and Snap Inc have all blocked Trump after supporters of the president stormed the U.S. Capitol last week, leading to five deaths. Trump's YouTube channel gives him the opportunity to continue spreading false information that the U.S. election was stolen, Steyer said. On Tuesday, Trump's verified YouTube channel posted eight new videos. YouTube did not immediately respond to a request for comment. YouTube has told the groups it is considering the demands but has yet to act, Steyer said. "If YouTube does not agree with us and join the other platforms in banning Trump, we're going to go to the advertisers," he added. "We join in with our coalition partners and ask that YouTube act decisively to help stop the spread of hate by shutting Trump's account down," said the NAACP in a statement to Reuters. The NAACP, Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change along with Steyer's group Common Sense Media, are among the organizers of the Stop Hate for Profit campaign, which had recruited major advertisers including Verizon Communications and Unilever to pull their ads from Facebook over hate speech concerns.

Pandemic cut traffic congestion in most countries last year -report

By Stephanie Kelly and Bozorgmehr Sharafedin NEW YORK/LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Coronavirus-induced lockdowns caused annual traffic congestion to fall in most countries for the first time in at least 10 years, disrupting long-held traffic patterns like the dreaded morning commute to work, a report released on Tuesday showed. Congestion declined sharply on the gridlocked roads of crowded cities, including Los Angeles, Bengaluru and Mexico City in 2020, location technology company TomTom said. The pandemic is expected to weigh again on traffic congestion this year, said Nick Cohn, TomTom's senior traffic expert. "We're going to see continued restrictions through the first half of the year, and I think we're going to see a lot of ups and downs before we're really getting back to any normal driving patterns and traffic activity levels," Cohn told Reuters in an interview. TomTom's report is based on data from 416 cities in 57 countries. It has published its traffic index for 10 years. The downturn in congestion in the United States was more prolonged compared with Europe last year because U.S. coronavirus cases stayed relatively high during the summer and early fall, Cohn said. In the United States, Los Angeles, New York and Miami were the most congested cities, though traffic in each city dropped from 2019 levels by 36%, 30% and 26%, respectively, TomTom data showed. Overall, Moscow was the most congested city in 2020, but traffic fell 8% from 2019. Bengaluru was the most-congested city in the world in 2019, but it fell to sixth in 2020 with nearly a 30% of drop in traffic year-on-year. Traffic in London and Paris was almost 20% lower than in 2019, and traffic in Madrid and Rome dropped 35% and 29%, respectively. Berlin experienced only a 6% traffic fall compared with 2019. Traffic patterns like the daily morning commute to work - a mainstay for decades - could shift because of increased flexibility around remote work for employees, Cohn said. "In the U.S., Canada and Mexico, if you look at peak travel patterns, the morning peak seems to have melted away," he said. "We have never seen that before." Traffic congestion during rush hours last year decreased by 25% globally, said Stephanie Leonard, TomTom's head of traffic innovation and policy. As more people return to office following vaccine distributions, congestion levels could rise if commuters choose to avoid public transit and drive to office instead, said John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital LLC in New York.

Family of alleged cold case victim step closer to justice after murder charges

The former partner of a Melbourne mother has been charged with murder almost 14 years after the singer was allegedly strangled in her home. Paul Charlton was arrested at his Casterton home, in Victoria's south-west, this morning and has since been charged with one count of murder over the death of his ex-girlfriend Joanne Howell. Ms Howell's sister Lisa Hennessy said she and her family were going through a range of emotions today. "As a family we've come together even stronger and we're going to see this through for Jo ... happy and sad, mixed emotions," Ms Hennessy said. Ms Howell was allegedly strangled and bashed to death before she died in her Poath Road apartment in Hughesdale on April 21, 2007. The Melbourne mother was a well-known singer who performed on the ABC music show Countdown in the 1970s. Ms Hennessy said she and her family never gave up looking for 'Jo's Justice' and over the years had never stopped thinking about their sister. "We talk about it on any birthday, Christmas, on special occasions, Jo's birthday, the day it happened. "We get together and talk about it as a family, so we have been waiting for that phone call to happen for so long that it's surreal." Ms Howell's sister thanked police for their efforts over the years and hope they can "finally get the answers we need." "We are so grateful as a family." Ms Hennessy also hopes her sister's death was an opportunity to shine a light on violence against women. Mr Charlton's arrest comes after police appealed for further information relating to the 51-year-old's cold case killing last month. He faced the Hamilton Magistrates' Court this afternoon and has been remanded in custody until his next court date in June. The prosecutor told the court police would need additional time to prepare the brief of evidence while telephone intercepts were transcribed. At the time of Ms Howell's death, Mr Charlton was taken into custody and interviewed, but released without charge and has always denied being involved in her death. Last month during the public appeal for additional information, head of the homicide squad Detective Inspector Tim Day said Ms Howell's death was violent and tragic. "This was an incredibly brutal and tragic end to Joanne's life," he said. Police believe Ms Howell died within a half hour window of 9pm on April 21 after a phone call about 8.30pm. Neighbours have said they heard a loud noise coming from her home between 9pm and 9.30pm. Anyone with information that could assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

The head of France’s state rail company has sounded the alarm over the future of Eurostar. The cross-Channel train service has been hurt badly by a lack of travel during the coronavirus pandemic as well as Brexit. Jean-Pierre Farandou, the CEO of SNCF, which owns 55% of Eurostar, told France Inter radio that “the situation is very critical for Eurostar”. Passenger numbers on the service that reaches the UK, France, Belgium and Holland have been down by 95% since March and are currently believed to be less than 1% of pre-pandemic levels. The warning comes days after UK business leaders called for a Government rescue of the Channel Tunnel rail operator as border closures enforced to stop a highly contagious virus variant threatened to push the service towards the brink of collapse. Mr Farandou said: “Today, there is one round trip that runs between London and Paris, and one other that runs between London and Brussels-Amsterdam. And these trains are 10% full.” Mr Farandou is counting on government aid, which was provided for airlines, but is aware of how difficult it will be because there are multiple governments involved. He said: “We have to see how we manage to help this company in the way that airlines have been helped. It would not be unusual for Eurostar to receive aid to get through this bad patch.” He added that SNCF has “already put money back into Eurostar’s capital to help” and the company is in discussions with the French and UK governments. Eurostar has asked for access to the same secured loans as airlines and a temporary reduction on track access charges it pays to use the UK’s only stretch of high-speed rail line. It said in a statement that its situation was “very serious”. It said: “Without additional funding from government there is a real risk to the survival of Eurostar, the green gateway to Europe.” Eurostar CEO Jacques Damas has also said the company hopes the four countries it serves will co-ordinate regarding virus-linked restrictions on travel. In November, Mr Damas wrote to Chancellor Rishi Sunak asking for assistance after the Treasury announced it would help struggling airports. British businesses have appealed to the Government to prop up Eurostar. London First, which represents scores of large property, retail and tourism businesses in the capital, wrote to the Government over the weekend urging it not to let Eurostar “fall between the cracks of support” offered to airlines and domestic railways. The letter said: “Maintaining this international high-speed rail connection into the heart of London has never been more important. Having left the European Union, we need to actively set out our stall as an attractive destination for people to live, work and play. “Safeguarding the future of this connection to the continent should be a symbol of both our desire to build back better and our new co-operative relationship with our European neighbours.” The Department for Transport said it recognised “the significant financial challenges” Eurostar faced because of the pandemic. It said: “We will continue to work closely with them as we support the safe restart and recovery of international travel.”

[ "Reuters" ]
[]
By David Lawder and Karin Strohecker Jan 12 (Reuters) - Increasing debt distress in emerging markets means that China, now the world's largest official creditor, will need to start restructuring debts in the same way that Paris Club lenders did in past crises, World Bank Chief Economist Carmen Reinhart told the Reuters Next conference on Tuesday. "What I think China will need to do to confront this is what previous other creditors in the past had done, which is you have to restructure. And restructure big time, meaning either lower interest rates, longer maturities, write-off in principal or some combination of that," Reinhart said in a panel discussion on economic inequality. She said that during the COVID-19 pandemic, China would need to take on a "new role" that has been an "old role" for Paris Club lenders, as Beijing is now facing for the first time wider spreads and difficulties in countries' ability to service debt on a broad scale. China has signed up to a G20 debt suspension initiative that allows up to 73 of the world's poorest countries to halt payments on official bilateral debts to help fund critical health initiatives, and it has agreed to a further G20 debt restructuring framework. "The real challenge is next, when we move to the stage where you have real writedowns to contend with," said Reinhart. Reinhart, a Harvard economist who joined the World Bank in June 2020, has researched and written extensively on financial crises. Last year, she co-authored a scholarly paper https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w26050/w26050.pdf on China's overseas lending that found that as much as 50% of it is not reported to the World Bank or International Monetary Fund. World Bank President David Malpass has warned that without more permanent debt relief, more people in developing countries will slide back into poverty and a repeat of the disorderly defaults of the 1980s could occur. He has pressed China for full participation in the debt relief efforts, including on debt issued by state-owned enterprises. Emerging market defaults in Latin America and east Asia led to broad-based debt cancellation efforts such as the Brady plan in the late 1980s and the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC)initiative in the 1990s. Asked if another such HIPC initiative were needed, Reinhart said: "I don't think we're there yet," noting that the G20 common framework for debt restructuring takes more of a case-by-case approach. "Whether at a later date, one can get creditors to sign on to another initiative, whether it's HIPC-like or Brady-like or whatever form it takes, I don't see that happening over the very near term."

Melbourne family mistakenly cross border into NSW for lunch

A Melbourne family got stuck in New South Wales after accidentally crossing the Victorian border for lunch. The group of families had travelled to Echuca for a day trip and were looking for a cafe to eat. They were following the direction of their GPS when they unknowingly crossed a bridge into NSW at the weekend. The whole family was taken to a motel in Moama before being allowed to come home, Victoria's COVID testing chief commander Jeroen Weimar said today. "The particular family in Moama is safely back in Melbourne. I'm sure they're very grateful and enjoyed their lunch," Mr Weimar said. "There are many complex, difficult cases. We're providing case management support to those individuals who face very difficult decisions and we'll ensure they make those movements in the wider public health advice." The Victorian Government has processed and granted 295 exemptions for Victorians stuck in NSW to cross the border and return home. Mr Weimar said staff in the exemptions team have been boosted to about 40 people to enable the process to move quicker. More than 3000 requests to re-enter Victoria by January 31 are yet to be processed. "I'm confident we're getting on top of the urgent critical cases now," he said. "There'll be difficult decisions to be made, let's not shirk that, but we'll prioritise the urgent cases and get to those others."

UK faces `timeline of different hazards´ as Storm Christoph moves in

The country faces a “timeline of different hazards” this week as Storm Christoph moves in, a weather forecaster has said. Weather warnings for heavy rain are in force across the UK, but the unsettled conditions could also bring the risks of wind and snowfall as the storm engulfs the country through the middle of the week. Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said that rain is “initially” the main concern but the picture will change as low pressure could introduce colder air. He explained: “As we go through the week and the low pressure that is bringing these fronts of rainfall that are persistent and heavy over the next few days … as that low pressure moves east and out into the North Sea, the winds will become a thing really later in the week. “Also as the low pressure moves away it pulls down a north-westerly airflow which brings much colder air across the UK again which then presents a further risk of snow.” Mr Claydon described the situation as “a timeline of different hazards as we go through the week but the first hazard is certainly of rain and that’s reflected in the warnings at the moment”. The most serious weather warning – amber for rain – has been in place across parts of the Midlands and northern England since Tuesday morning, alongside less serious yellow warnings for rain across Wales, Northern Ireland, northern England and southern Scotland. The highest rainfall recorded overnight was in Aberllefenni, west Wales, where 35.4mm fell between midnight and 8am on Tuesday. Of the areas in the amber warning zone, Bolton in Greater Manchester has seen the most rain so far, with 24.4mm over the same period. By Wednesday, the yellow warnings for rain will stretch south to additionally cover all of England, all of which remain in place until midday on Thursday, alongside the more serious amber warning in central England. Eastern Scotland is also facing a yellow warning for snow and from Wednesday afternoon through to Thursday lunchtime, with the threat of travel delays, power cuts and rural communities being isolated. Mr Claydon added: “It’s not going to be a short burst of bad weather like you may think of in terms of storms in the past where it quickly blows through overnight. “It’s really persistent heavy rain, the rain really is going to be persistent, just continuing all the way through today and tomorrow and into Thursday, it’s really just the prolonged accumulation of rainfall rather than a short come and gone weather event,” he said. On Tuesday, the Environment Agency had issued 15 flood warnings and 117 less serious flood alerts across England. Floodwaters have already risen in parts of the country, with a motorist pictured stranded in Leicester, and workmen in York prepared flood defences on Tuesday morning near the city’s River Ouse. A major incident has already been declared in South Yorkshire in anticipation of flooding that could arrive in the coming days. Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones tweeted on Monday evening: “Key risk areas have been inspected over the past 36 hours, sand-bags have been handed out in flood-risk areas & will continue over the next 24 hours.” The Local Government Association (LGA) has advised people to check with councils to keep up to date with advice as the storm moves through. The LGA said in a statement: “They will share flood warnings and other relevant information so people should make sure they regularly check their council’s website and social media and follow their advice.”

Queensland braces for flash flooding and heavy rains as ex-tropical cyclone Imogen lashes east coast

Queensland's North Coast is bracing for heavy rain and flash flooding today as the storm whipped up by ex-Cyclone Imogen batters the region. A severe weather warning is in place from Babinda to Ayr, with some places set for a deluge of up to 250 millimetres this morning. The storms will likely last until at least Thursday. Townsville deputy mayor Mark Molachino said the region was on high alert for today's expected drenching. "The region's copped a soaking from this ex-tropical cyclone," Mr Molachino told Today. But the area had escaped heavy rain overnight, he said. "The (weather bureau) is predicting somewhere between 100 and 200mm today. And it looks like it will be coming through in waves. "You never know what you are going to get with these systems as they move through. "We don't want people in flood waters. Not only is it a risk to their lives but a risk to those who come have to come and rescue them. If you want a place to swim, wait until the water recedes and stay safe and use your common sense." Meanwhile in New South Wales, large parts of Sydney were lit up by an incredible lightning storm overnight. The dazzling display was visible across Sydney's north and western suburbs, stretching to south to Wollongong. Heavy rain was dumped across the state in a flash storm late in the evening but the lightning seemed to last much longer. The weather bureau says most of the storm activity has passed, but Sydney and surrounding areas can expect a cloudy day with a high chance of showers. It's a vastly different situation in Western Australia where hundreds of residents have fled their homes north of Perth, as an out of control bushfire burns. Conditions have been so intense an aerial tanker has been flown in from Victoria to assist. Residents of Ocean Farms estate and Seaview Park are being told to leave their homes if it's safe to do so. Across the country today, troughs are triggering rain, showers and storms in other parts of Queensland, the Northern Territory, NSW, Victoria and South Australia.

One dead after crash at notorious Margaret River blackspot on Caves Road

A person has died in single car crash at a notorious Margaret River black-spot early this morning. Police said the car was travelling along Caves Road when it hit a tree near Carters Road in Burnside at 1.43am. The driver, the car’s only occupant, died at the scene. The tragedy comes just two weeks after two serious crashes within 12 hours on the same stretch of the road. A man was flown to Royal Perth Hospital with serious injuries on December 29 after crashing into a tree near the same intersection on Caves Road. He had to be freed from the car wreck by firefighters. It was the same spot where two cars had crashed in a head-on collision hours earlier, with four people taken to hospital. While the road, which stretches for more than 100 kilometres from Busselton to Augusta, is considered as one of the most scenic drive routes in the South West, it is also notorious for accidents. Main Roads WA recorded more than 80 crashes on the road in five years to 2019. Plans to widen the road were met with opposition in 2018, with locals and residents who live along the scenic route saying the removal of trees would spoil its attraction. In February last year, a MRWA spokeswoman said while surveying and safety audits on some intersections of the road were underway, the plan was yet to be developed.

Blick auf die Intensivbetten Die Zahl der Neuinfektionen muss auch deshalb unter Kontrolle bleiben, um das Gesundheitssystem nicht zu überlasten: Steigt die Zahl der Corona-Fälle stark an, vor allem unter älteren Menschen, dann wächst der Bedarf an Intensivbetten für die Erkrankten. Höchstes Infektionsrisiko: Erst die Alten, dann die Jungen Zu Beginn der Pandemie infizierten sich bezogen auf ihre Altersgruppe besonders viele Menschen über 80 Jahre, während Jugendliche im Verhältnis seltener positiv auf das Coronavirus getestet wurden. Die Grafik zeigt, dass die Neuinfektionen seit dem Sommer in der Altersgruppe der 15 bis 34-Jährigen besonders stark angestiegen sind.

Up to 300 residents stranded as landslip closes off small town near Kempsey for a week

Approximately 300 residents of a small town near Kempsey in NSW are currently stranded as a significant landslip threatens to close the road in and out for a week. The landslip occurred on Armidale Road, approximately six kilometres east of Bellbrook, around 2.30pm on Monday. Kempsey Shire Council engaged specialist Geotech engineers to inspect the site, who advised the road will need to be closed for approximately a week. Council staff and the local SES are organising emergency supply drops for residents who require it. "The landslip starts approximately 85 metres above the roadway and has taken out tonnes of rock and debris," council general manager Craig Milburn said. "There are several trees either balanced or still at risk of slipping, and these will require specialist tree removal equipment and professionals to safely remove them from above. "We are working with specialist engineers to plan the best method for clearing and stabilising the site, but it is currently very dangerous with rocks still falling. "At this early stage we estimate it will be around a week before we are able to get the road open again." The local council worked with the SES to arrange for urgent supplies of non-perishable goods or medications to be air lifted into Bellbrook, with over 100kg of supplies delivered this afternoon and another drop planned for Friday. Residents have made individual arrangements to purchase items and have them delivered to the Elbow Street Recovery Hub, and council assisted with the helicopter and arranging distribution through the Bellbrook Hotel.
