SEOUL, Jan 13 (Reuters) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called for maximum military power and greater nuclear war deterrence, state news agency KCNA reported on Wednesday, as a rare ruling party congress came to a close after eight days of policy discussions.
The Eighth Party Congress comes less than two weeks before U.S. President-elect Joe Biden takes office and amid a prolonged gridlock in talks aimed at ending the North's nuclear and missile programmes in return for U.S. sanction relief.
"We must do everything we can to increase nuclear war deterrence even further as we build the strongest military capability," KCNA quoted Kim as saying at the conclusion of the congress.
Kim said last week he would expand military capabilities to better defend the country and called for "placing state defence capabilities on a much higher level".
Since announcing a self-declared moratorium on nuclear testing and intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launches from 2018, Kim has called for continued production of nuclear weapons for his arsenal, launched a series of smaller missiles, and unveiled what would be North Korea's largest ICBM yet at a parade in October.
The congress, which ran for eight days in Pyongyang, is the first since 2016, which was in turn the first since 1980.
Kim told the party congress last week that his five-year economic plan had failed to meet its goals, blaming international sanctions as well as unanticipated crises including the coronavirus pandemic and natural disasters.
Separately, Kim Yo Jong, the leader's sister and a member of the party Central Committee, criticised South Korea's military for monitoring a parade in Pyongyang. The move was an expression of the South's "hostile approach" towards the North, she said in a separate statement carried by KCNA.
South Korea's military said on Monday it had detected signs that North Korea held a night time military parade on Sunday for its ruling Worker's Party congress. (Reporting by Sangmi Cha; editing by Richard Pullin)

Boeing 737 Max cleared to fly again in Europe from next week

The Boeing 737 Max will be allowed to resume flights in Europe next week, the head of the European aviation safety agency has said.
The green light for flights follows nearly two years of reviews after the aircraft was involved in two deadly crashes that saw the planes grounded worldwide.
Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), told reporters that planes will be permitted to fly as long as they meet conditions specified by the agency and that pilots are up to date on their training.
“It will be cleared to fly again from next week,” he said at an online event hosted by Germany’s Aviation Press Club.
The planes were grounded in March 2019 following the crashes of a Lion Air flight near Jakarta on October 29, 2018, and an Ethiopian Airlines flight on March 10, 2019, killing a total of 346 people.
Investigators determined that the cause of the crashes was a faulty computer system that pushed the plane’s nose downwards in flight and could not be overridden by pilots.
Changes mandated by EASA include a recertification of the plane’s flight control system, called the Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System, which was not a part of previous 737 models.
The 737 Max returned to the skies in the United States last month, after the Federal Aviation Administration approved changes that Boeing made to the automated flight control system.
It has also been allowed by Brazil to resume flights, and Transport Canada said earlier this week that it had been cleared to start flying again on Wednesday.

Queenslanders who visited a number of towns in regional New South Wales are being urged to get tested for coronavirus.
Anyone who visited Orange, Nyngan and Broken Hill on January 2 and 3 are being asked to get a COVID-19 test immediately and self-isolate at home until they receive a negative result.
It comes after an 18-year-old Sydney man with coronavirus took a 900-kilometre road trip across the state before learning he was infectious.
Queensland Chief Health Officer Dr Jeannette Young said she was treating the NSW case "with an abundance of caution".
Queensland's borders remain open to all of Australia except people from Greater Sydney.
The state today recorded one new cases of coronavirus in hotel quarantine, with 18,834 tests conducted in the last 24 hours.

Dan Martin is not interested in setting himself specific targets as he aims to maximise the remaining years of his career.
The Irishman recorded his career-best Grand Tour result at the age of 34 last year when he finished fourth in the season-ending Vuelta a Espana.
It is a result which has given Martin huge confidence, but you will not find the Israel Start-Up Nation rider mapping out a detailed list of what he wants to achieve in 2021.
“My goal is just to enjoy racing my bike,” he told the PA news agency. “I know I don’t have many years left now and I just want to embrace being a pro cyclist.
“There are no small races on the calendar any more. We race every race equally. I’m not going to set lofty goals or ambitions. If you win a stage of (the Tour of) Valencia it feels as good as any other race.”
Martin said the sport was more intense now than he has ever known it since joining in the professional ranks in 2008, but that has not dimmed his enthusiasm.
“Last week I barely left the house if I wasn’t in lycra, whereas five or six years ago you could live a relatively normal life and still compete,” he said.
“Now it’s a full-time commitment and that’s mentally hard, especially when you have a young family, because they’re making sacrifices too.
“But right now, as I sit here, I feel good, relaxed, confident. I don’t know how many years I have got in me but my coaches still feel I’ve got room to progress.”
The Vuelta result offered proof of that, even if it came in such a strange year when lockdown upended the racing calendar.
But while it showed he can still mix it with the best, the three-week race also taught Martin about himself.
“It was a turning point because I realised that if I got on the podium, it doesn’t change my life,” he said.
“It would be amazing but any results I get now, it doesn’t change anything for me, it’s just about enjoying that moment.
“What made the Vuelta so satisfying for me is I stayed concentrated and focused for three weeks. I didn’t make any mistakes, I didn’t have any excuses, and I was the fourth best rider.
“It’s a nice feeling to go to a bike race and do your best.”
Martin does not yet know what his 2021 race program will look like, but expects to be at the Tour before a possible return to the Vuelta.
Life at Israel Start-Up Nation will change considerably this year with the arrival of Chris Froome.
Martin did much to help convince the four-time Tour winner to make the move from the Ineos Grenadiers, even though it will probably relegate him to a support role this July.
Martin himself signed for the Israeli team at the end of 2019, before they had gained their WorldTour license, but said Froome was joining an outfit that had progressed hugely in a short space of time.
“It amuses me to think back to the reaction I got when I signed here,” he said. “Obviously I didn’t expect Chris to be coming but I knew the ambitions and believed in the project being built here and that’s why I came.
“It’s satisfying to have been part of building this. Last year was tough but the team developed incredibly quickly.
“It’s a great environment to be in. As a rider you feel valued and respected even if the results are not always there.
“Everybody understands you go out there and do your best, and then the results follow.”

Fisherman with illegally modified boats in Queensland will have their tinnies turned into scrap metal if they're caught by authorities.
The warning comes after a boat was crushed and the owner fined $6,000 for breaching the state's fishing regulations.
Fisheries Minister Mark Furner said the boat's seizure and destruction followed a 2019 operation by the Queensland Boating and Fisheries Patrol (QBFP) targeting an illegal crabber in the Brisbane river area.
"The fisher had modified the seats of the vessel to create concealed compartments where our officers found regulated mud crabs," Mr Furner said.
"This person had received previous infringement notices and knew very well that taking female and under-sized crabs was against the law."
QBFP uses a range of of techniques and technology to uncover illegal activities, as well as information from the public through Fishwatch.
Officers says those who choose to fish illegally will be caught and face severe fines.
"Today we've reduced the 3.7 metre boat to recycling material," Mr Furner said.
"We have done this as a deterrent aimed at protecting jobs in both the commercial and recreational fishing sectors, and building a sustainable fishery for future generations."
If you suspect illegal fishing activities, call the 24 hour toll-free Fishwatch hotline 1800 017 116.

A drunk Goldfields man who “fell asleep” behind the wheel and crashed into another vehicle has been fined more than $2000.
Ryan William Pettit entered an endorsed plea of guilty at the Kalgoorlie Magistrate’s Court last week to dangerous driving and excess .08 blood alcohol level.
Pettit was driving home on Durkin Road after a night out drinking at the Exchange Hotel when he caused a collision by veering on to the wrong side of the road.
A commuter was forced to take evasive action, but failed to avoid the collision.
While no injuries were caused to the drivers, there was significant damage to the vehicles.
At the time of the accident, Pettit told police “I’m f...ed, I’m sure I went to sleep”, before he returned a blood alcohol level of 0.106.
The court was also told the man had no criminal record before the incident.
Despite his absence in court, Magistrate Genevieve Cleary slammed Pettit for putting other road users at risk.
“This is a very serious example of dangerous driving and also of driving over the blood-alcohol limit,” she said.
Pettit racked up $2300 in fines and court costs of $248.40, and lost his licence for eight months.

Jet ski rider saves unconscious swimmer after recently completing CPR course

A jet ski rider who recently completed a CPR course has saved the life of a swimmer on the Gold Coast.
Beau was travelling through the Gold Coast Seaway, when he spotted two people in distress on the shoreline.
He quickly made his way over to the pair and found a teenager unconscious.
"We see a fella in the seaway with his mate unconscious and foaming at the mouth," Beau told 9News.
"He'd hit his head coming off the seaway rockwall, and he was in a world of hurt."
Beau then hailed down a boat and abandoned his jet ski as he helped the stricken 17-year-old on to the vessel.
"We got him on to the boat as quickly as possible and I asked who knew CPR on the boat and no one did," he said.
"I jumped up there straight away and followed the steps."
9News Beach and Surf Presenter Luke Bradnam was on his way out for a fish this morning when he heard about the incident on his boat's radio.
"I heard the emergency call and it was literally right where I was," he said.
"They said a young fellow was in real distress."
When Bradnam found the men, Beau was already there giving CPR so he decided to run to a dive boat for additional oxygen.
"One of the big dive boats here lent us some oxygen which was fantastic," he said.
"We called the ambulance and the ambos turned up pretty soon."
Emergency crews rushed to the scene and administered further treatment before transporting the surfer to hospital.
Paramedic William Houghton said the actions of the people who found the surfer were critical to saving his life.
"They administered really good first aid to the young man," Mr Houghton said.
"It made such a difference to him so the timing was brilliant."
Bradnam said the young surfer would not be alive if it wasn't for Beau's actions.
"Beau literally saved this guy's life," he said.
"I had him in the boat afterwards because he abandoned his jet ski in the middle of the seaway and he told me he'd just done that refresher course on CPR."
Beau works on an oil and gas rig and takes a refresher CPR course once a year.
He said it was lucky that he had recently undergone the training, and urged everyone to brush up on their lifesaving skills.
"The important point that we're trying to get across here is that everyone should know CPR," he said.
"Just practice what you preach. Go out there, do that course, and make sure you can help the people out there because you don't know when it will happen."
The surfer was conscious when he was transported to hospital and remains in a serious but stable condition.
"He's ingested a lot of water and we took him to University Hospital for further assessment," Mr Houghton said."But he's talking at the moment, he's conscious and last time we spoke to him he was really appreciative of what's happened today."

Soccer-Atletico tighten grip on La Liga lead with win over Sevilla

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.
"We knew we would have to suffer in certain moments in the game but they didn't cause us too much danger, they had a lot of possession but couldn't harm us," said goalscorer Correa.
"We prepare for every game in order to win it and that's what we're trying to do. We knew Sevilla would be difficult opponents, they are having a great season, so I'm very happy we managed to win."
Atletico had enjoyed a rest over the weekend as their match with Athletic Bilbao had been postponed due to a snowstorm in the Spanish capital, although the freezing conditions had also disrupted their training schedule.
Thick mounds of snow could be seen on the sidelines of the Wanda Metropolitano and with temperatures dropping to minus seven Celsius, Atletico's substitutes kept warm in the stands by warming up with exercise bikes placed next to electric heaters.
Sevilla midfielder Fernando admitted his side, from one of the few cities in Spain that were spared the snow, struggled to cope with the weather.
"It's difficult to play when it's this cold and they are an excellent side so it was tough for us, but they had only really two chances and scored two goals," he said.
The home side welcomed back Trippier for the first time since Dec. 23 after his 10-week suspension for breaking betting rules in England was put on hold pending an appeal and the England defender proved his value by playing a big part in both goals.
Atletico coach Diego Simeone opted to start 126-million-euro ($154 million) forward Joao Felix on the bench for the second game in a row in favour of Correa and the Argentine repaid his faith with an enterprising shot from the edge of the area, flummoxing Sevilla keeper Bono.
Sevilla had won seven of their previous nine matches and did not make things easy for Diego Simeone's side, firing 13 shots at goal to Atletico's five although only managing to work Atletico keeper Jan Oblak twice.

`Worst thing is to be in limbo´ - Steve Parry wants deadline for...

Olympic organisers need to set a deadline to say whether the Tokyo Games will go ahead this summer, according to a former Team GB star.
Tokyo 2020 has already been delayed by 12 months due to the coronavirus pandemic and there are fresh fears surrounding the new dates, with Japan, like many countries around the world, dealing with a resurgence in Covid-19 cases.
The situation makes it hugely difficult for athletes to prepare for the Games, and Steve Parry, a bronze medallist for Britain in the 200 metres butterfly in 2004, says there is a desperate need for clarity.
“They need a deadline – the International Olympic Committee need to say ‘we will make a call by this date’ because the worst thing is to be in limbo,” Parry, the founder of Sporting House, told the PA news agency.
“I thought the Games were going to go on in 2020, but infection rates are leading to an extended period of uncertainty globally.
“When you have people in Japan saying they are not comfortable with the Games going ahead, that puts real pressure on the organisers and the IOC.”
Other Olympians such as rowing gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent have suggested pushing Tokyo back to 2024, with future hosts Paris and Los Angeles going back to 2028 and 2032 respectively.
Parry does not feel that would be the best approach.
“Athletes understand what cycle they’re in,” he said.
“I think they would just have to strike it off, say ‘we’re done’. And that is hugely disappointing for those people that were going to host them.”
Cancellation of the Games would also have a big impact on the national psyche in Parry’s opinion.
“For a country of 60-70million we have dominated, we were second on the medal table last time,” he said.
“It’s a huge source of national pride. It’s easy to dismiss that and say ‘this is elite sport, it doesn’t really matter’ but the fact of the matter is we achieve greater participation when we see national heroes performing like Rebecca Adlington, Chris Hoy, Mo Farah and so on.”
Tokyo 2020 organising committee spokesman Masa Takaya said last week there had never been a discussion about a further delay to this summer’s Games or a cancellation.

Electricity utilities Western Power, Synergy and Horizon would all remain in public hands under a WA Liberal Government.
Opposition Leader Zak Kirkup said his party had learnt from the 2017 election and dumped controversial plans to sell Western Power for good.
“A very clear part of our (2021) policy is to make sure we aren’t privatising assets,” Mr Kirkup said.
The pledge not to sell off Western Power confirms one of the first moves of Mr Kirkup’s predecessor Liza Harvey, who dumped plans for the sale of the utility just days after taking over as Liberal leader in mid-2019.
The highly contentious Colin Barnett-era policy – which in 2016 was forecast to raise as much as $11 billion – was the focus of fierce advertising campaigns bankrolled by unions that support the WA Labor party ahead of the 2017 election.
Similar ads, which highlight the potential for job losses and increases to power prices, have already begun ahead of the March poll.
The economic case for selling Western Power – which operates the poles and wires that underpin the State’s electricity network – is now much weaker, with a massive shift to rooftop solar drastically reducing the value of the utility and pool of potential buyers.
Mr Kirkup has written to Western Power chief executive Ed Kalajzic as well as the bosses of the WA branches of the Electrical Trades Union and Australian Service Union outlining his promise.
“To be absolutely clear, and to remove once and for all the uncertainty our opponents will attempt to raise over our position: the Liberals will not privatise Western Power,” he wrote.
“We will also ensure Synergy and Horizon remain in public hands. We have made this commitment because we believe the Western Australian public has already spoken on this issue. And we have listened.”
Mr Kirkup said the McGowan Government had itself sold various energy assets to foreign companies since 2017, including Synergy’s Albany wind farm, the Greenough River solar project and Warradarge wind farm near Eneabba.
He said the WA Liberals believed the best way to keep a lid on electricity prices was by keeping Western Power in public hands.
“Obviously Western Power owns the network - they play a key role in our electricity supply across the State,” Mr Kirkup said.
“It is important there is certainty in WA about what that looks like.”

Brian Tolentino, 43, and Juan Lopez, 39, are facing charges after Florida police discovered a macabre arrangement of skulls in one of the men's homes, including some that belonged to humans
Two men have been accused of stealing the skulls of dead veterans from a Florida cemetery to use in a macabre "black magic" shrine.
Brian Tolentino, 43, and Juan Lopez, 39, were both arrested and are facing four counts each of disturbing the contents of a grave and abuse of a dead human body.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office said DNA evidence collected from cigars and other items left at the Edgewood Cemetery in Mount Dora led detectives to Tolentino, who then led them to Lopez.
Police found a "very ornate shrine" in Lopez's home, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told reporters on Friday.
Officers found five human skulls, along with the heads of a dead alligator, raccoon, goat and other animal remains, nestled in the gory arrangement.
Upon further research, detectives found it was a "Palo Mayombe" shrine, which is a "black magic art that needs body parts in order to worship, and they prefer to have skulls".
When detectives questioned the two men, they confessed to having robbed multiple graves to obtain human skulls.
"They said that the spirits had led them to the cemetery," Sheriff Judd said.
Both men claimed to have performed a ritual in which they would drink Bacardi rum and spit it out onto the cemetery ground as well as exhale the smoke from their cigars to protect them from spirits.
The sheriff said the men would leave behind orange peels in place of the stolen skulls "so that the spirits would not leave the skull and go back into the grave."
Judd said three of the four graves belonged to US veterans, as the men's preference was for skulls taken from the graves of heroes.
Tolentino claimed Lopez used a crowbar to open the vaults and remove the heads.
Judd said police are currently still working to identify the origin of the fifth head found in Lopez's home.

Police in Brisbane have launched a murder investigation after a man's body was discovered by his friend at a home in Wynnum.
Police were called to the property around 12.15pm and located the 45-year-old deceased in a bedroom.
Detectives say there are currently no persons of interest but early indications suggest that "robbery was not the motive".
"It's too early to tell what's caused his death," Detective Inspector Steve Hollins said.
"We do have items of interest that we have located in the address but I can't comment on what those items are at this stage."
A crime scene has been declared with scenes of crime and scientific officers in attendance.
Police are appealing for anyone who may have heard anything or saw something or someone out of place overnight in Ronald Street to come forward.
Detectives say anyone with relevant CCTV or dash cam footage in the area should also contact them.

Jamaal Lascelles believes Newcastle have the players to address their current form and highlighted Arsenal’s recent regeneration as the example to follow.
The Gunners eased to a 3-0 victory over Steve Bruce’s out-of-form side on Monday night to condemn Newcastle to a fifth defeat in their last seven Premier League games.
Bruce made eight changes for the game at the Emirates Stadium but the visitors were undone in the second-half as a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace sandwiched a Bukayo Saka strike.
Another loss saw a 1,000-strong supporters group, ‘Toon For Change’, begin to actively campaign for Bruce to be sacked.
But Lascelles feels the club can turn things around, admitting the players are “annoyed” with their recent performances.
“I’ve been in a lot of tough situations over the years and it is just about how you deal with them,” the Magpies skipper told NUFC TV.
“Every club goes through a spell, Arsenal I think went 10 without a win but have turned it around and we have the players to do that.
“So I think it is just important that we stick together, the managers, the staff and the players and keep trying to do the right things and hopefully it gets better.
“Of course, it is always tough. We are just annoyed at ourselves, disappointed with the situation we are in, we thought we would put in a better performance than that.
“First half was alright, second half was terrible so we really need to look at ourselves.”
For Arsenal, a fourth win in five league outings moved them into the top half of the table and continued to ease the pressure following their own poor start to the campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s side were profligate in front of goal in the first half before improving after the interval.
Aubameyang’s double saw him move onto five Premier League goals for the season after his own personal struggles coincided with the team’s poor run of form.
The Arsenal skipper missed a couple of decent chances before breaking the deadlock and Granit Xhaka praised the 31-year-old for continuing to work hard and address his unusual patchy spell in front of goal.
“Everyone knows how important he is for us – not only on the pitch, but off the pitch as well,” Xhaka said of Aubameyang.
“Of course, every player has these moments where it is not going well for them.
“But he has kept going and training hard. Today he helped a lot and I am so happy for him. He scored and helped us.
“We are so happy we took the three points. It was very difficult in the first half, sometimes we put ourselves in trouble.
“But we knew if we scored quick in the second half, the game will be more open. In the end, I think it was an important three points.”

Nebraska running back Dedrick Mills declared for the NFL draft on Tuesday, just hours after Southern California's Markese Stepp announced he was transferring to the Cornhuskers.
Mills rushed for 396 yards and three touchdowns in six games in 2020. He also caught 13 passes for 84 yards.
Mills, who began his career at Georgia Tech, rushed for 1,912 yards and 25 touchdowns in three college seasons -- one for the Yellow Jackets and two for Nebraska.
Mills also played one season at Garden City (Kan.) Community College after being dismissed from Georgia Tech in August of 2017.
Mills posted his declaration on Twitter, ending it with "I have decided to enter the 2021 NFL Draft."
Stepp announced his transfer via a picture of himself in a Nebraska uniform saying "Committed."
Stepp rushed for 505 yards and six touchdowns in three seasons with the Trojans. He had 165 yards and three scores on 45 carries and caught three passes for 28 yards in five 2020 games.

A sports club in Mackay has been forced to close after thieves used a stolen ute to break into the building.
Police have released CCTV of the moment the Toyota Hilux crashed through the Walkerston Wests Leagues Club and drove forward and backward 15 times.
The ram-raid left a trail of destruction and damaged doors, walls, ceilings in the reception area.
General manager Kingsley Theiber told 9News the devastation was all for nothing, after the thieves left empty-handed.
"Our cash is locked away in a secure area - the ATM was left open with no cash in it," he said.
"On arrival I was absolutely horrified to see the damage."
The ute was located dumped a short distance away and has been seized for forensic examination.
The vehicle is believed to have been stolen from a Peak Downs Highway address at Eton yesterday.
Anyone with information is being urged to contact police.

Anas Sarwar and Monica Lennon will face off to become the leader of Scottish Labour after nominations closed on Tuesday.
The pair were both able to gain at least four nominations each from MSPs or Labour’s sole Scottish MP in order to trigger the contest.
The party’s ruling body has set out a condensed timetable which will see a new leader appointed to succeed Richard Leonard by the end of next month, more than eight weeks before the Holyrood elections.
Mr Leonard announced his departure on Thursday, triggering a race to take over the party in time to fight the election in May.
Leadership hustings will take place between Wednesday and February 9, the same day the voting opens.
Voting will close on February 26, with an announcement made virtually the following day.
In the early days of the campaign, Scotland’s constitutional future has become one of its key issues, with Ms Lennon saying the party should not move to block another vote on independence.
She told the BBC: “I don’t believe in Scottish independence but I do understand people maybe have frustrations, things are not settled, and I’m not in politics to tell people what they can’t have. I’ll always respect democracy.
“We have to find out why this is such a polarising issue in Scotland, we can’t just wish it away.”
Meanwhile, Mr Sarwar, a steadfast opponent of Scottish independence and the party’s constitution spokesman under Richard Leonard, said the next parliamentary term should be used to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.
He told the Daily Record on Tuesday: “I do not support an independence referendum in the next parliament. I support the next parliament being a Covid recovery parliament.”
When asked how the party can win back support from the SNP, he said it should “be true to our principles, we’ve got to say what we believe and why we believe it, and hope to win people back on that argument”.

By Andrew Chung
Jan 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday reinstated a requirement that women visit a hospital or clinic to obtain a drug used for medication-induced abortions, lifting an order by a lower court allowing the drug to be mailed or delivered as a safety measure during the coronavirus pandemic.
The justices granted a request by President Donald Trump's administration to lift a federal judge's July order that had suspended the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's rule requiring in-person visits for the duration of the pandemic.
The pandemic is still raging nationwide. Coronavirus infections remain at record highs in many U.S. states. Nearly 130,000 Americans were hospitalized with COVID-19 as of midnight on Monday and the country had reported 22.5 million infections and 376,188 deaths.
The court's three liberal justices said they would have denied the Trump administration's request.
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang in Greenbelt, Maryland in July found that due to the health risks that COVID-19 poses, the in-person requirements "place a substantial obstacle in the path of women seeking a medication abortion" and likely violate their constitutional rights.

Face masks should not be a replacement for physical distancing...

Face coverings can help control Covid-19 transmission in the community but they should not be a replacement for other coronavirus measures such as social distancing, scientists have said.
In a new modelling study, researchers in the US have found a 10% rise in self-reported mask wearing to be associated with a three-fold increase in the odds of keeping the reproduction number R below 1.
R is the number of people that one infected person, on average, will pass on the virus to. When the R value is above 1, it means the epidemic is growing.
The experts said their findings, published in the journal Lancet Digital Health, suggest that communities in the US with high reported mask-wearing as well as physical distancing have the highest predicted probability of transmission control.
Ben Rader, of Boston Children’s Hospital and Boston University in the US, who is a co-author on the study, said: “An important finding of this research is that mask wearing is not a replacement for physical distancing.”
The researchers used a web-based survey to gather data on face-covering habits from more than 300,000 people in the US between June 3 and July 27 2020.
They also used anonymised data from Google users who had opted to allow sharing of their location history on their mobile devices alongside information gathered from other Covid-19 tracking projects.
However, the researchers stress their study only provides a link between wearing of face coverings and slowing down virus transmission, and cannot prove a direct cause-and-effect.
They said it is possible that people who report wearing face coverings may also engage in other behaviours that reduce their risk of Covid-19 infection, such as increased hand washing, which was not addressed in the study.
Dr Christina M Astley, a clinician and epidemiologist with Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and study co-author, said: “Our findings suggest widespread use of face masks may help to control Sars-Cov-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19) transmission.
“The world is facing a more transmissible coronavirus strain, hospitals are struggling with new cases and vaccination programmes are still being rolled out.
“Interventions are needed now to lower the burden on our healthcare systems.
“This research provides additional evidence that those interventions should include wearing face masks to protect ourselves and as well as physical distancing.”

If you've ever wanted to own a private island, now could be your chance.
Victor Island on the Great Barrier Reef has hit the market at $5.5 million, and its more affordable than some waterfront homes in Brisbane and Sydney.
The eight-acre oasis offers uninterrupted 360 degree views of the Coral Sea, along with a four-bedroom solar powered house and caretakers cottage.
Two boats are also included in the sale to make the ten minute ride to mainland Mackay simple for the new owners.
"It's very rare," Barbara Wolveridge from Sotheby's International Realty told 9News.
"I've been in the business for 30 years and this is the first time I've actually had an opportunity to sell an island.
Meg Sullivan decided it's time to move on after owning the island for five years.
She wants someone else to live the dream with the ocean as your front and back yard.
"It's the freedom of living on the island where you can do what you want, when you want," she said.
"If you want to catch a fish for dinner you go and throw a line in."
If you're interested you might need to act quickly with the property generating interest from buyers across the country and around the world.
"We've got people lining up to come and see it," Ms Wolveridge said.
Victor Island is for sale for $5.5 million.

Upcoming 'Jeopardy!' guest host: Who is Aaron Rodgers?

When he is done slinging passes this season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be firing off questions as a guest-host on the television game show "Jeopardy!"
Rodgers announced the gig Tuesday, but "Jeopardy!" representatives declined to confirm the news. The show is planning to use various guest hosts for upcoming episodes after longtime host Alex Trebek died of cancer in November.
"I may have jumped the gun a little bit, so I apologize to 'Jeopardy!' if they wanted to announce it," Rodgers said about revealing his offseason plan during `The Pat McAfee Show' on Sirius XM. "It kind of just went down the last couple of days, us figuring it out. It is very exciting. It's for the offseason. We'll be even more excited when that opportunity gets a little closer."
The NFL MVP favorite was a contestant on "Celebrity Jeopardy!" in 2015, winning the question-answer episode against Kevin O'Leary of "Shark Tank" and former astronaut Mark Kelly. This past November, Kelly was elected to the U.S. Senate in an Arizona special election, taking the seat previously occupied by John McCain.
"The show has been so special to me over the years," Rodgers said Tuesday. "It's been a staple at my house here in Green Bay for the last 16 years -- 6 o'clock, watching Alex and trying to get as many questions as I can.
"When the opportunity came up in 2015, that was a dream come true. It really was. To be on there, to get to meet Alex was just such a special moment. We're all obviously sad about his passing."
First things first for the Packers this weekend. The NFC's No. 1 seed is set to play host to the Los Angeles Rams in a divisional-round playoff game on Saturday. Rodgers passed for 4,299 yards this season and an NFL-leading 48 touchdowns with five interceptions.
The 37-year-old, who is in his 16th NFL season, all with the Packers, has 412 career TD passes with 89 interceptions in 197 career games (190 starts).
In 18 career playoff starts he is 10-8 with 5,027 yards, 40 TDs and 12 interceptions. Rodgers guided the Packers to a 31-25 victory in Super Bowl XLV against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Manchester United are on an impressive run of form in the Premier League though there is consistent speculation that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will look to strengthen this month
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted Manchester United are unlikely to sign anyone during this month’s transfer window.
The Red Devils are regularly linked with top stars from around the world, despite being on an impressive run of form of late.
Solskjaer was busy at the end of the summer transfer window, while also signing Bruno Fernandes and Odion Ighalo during the last January market.
But it seems there is little chance of new signings arriving at Old Trafford this month, though the likes of Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo could depart.
When asked about potential January transfer business this month, Solskjaer said: "I think the signings we made in the summer strengthened the squad really well. Good signings, good characters, good players.
“January is always difficult but if something comes up you think is a long-term target anyway that's another scenario.
"But not many teams would like to lose their players in January, so it's unlikely something will happen on the inside.
“There might be two or three going out because, one, they deserve to play football, for their own good and for their own careers."
United sit level on points with Premier League leaders Liverpool and face Burnley on Tuesday night.
Solskjaer added: "Since Sir Alex [Ferguson] left, we've been second, third, fourth, fifth, twice sixth, once seventh, so of course it's important for us now to establish ourselves in the top four.
”We've only been top four three times since Sir Alex left, and if we can do that again, if we can improve on third, that's progress.
"When I played it was a different ball game. We were really disappointed if we didn't win the league. We were third once [in 2002], most of the time we challenged against one team.
“Now the league is so different, so many teams can challenge and look at themselves as candidates to challenge the top teams.
"There weren't many teams to challenge for top two or top three positions; in a good year you win, bad year you come second or third. Now, there are so many other teams with big squads and strong squads that can challenge.
"We all talk about the top six but you have other teams that get up there now and that's due to good work at different clubs, good signings.
“It makes it a more exciting league than last two or three seasons when two teams have run away."

Auch das hat in einigen Teilen Niedersachsens Tradition: Die Baum-Sammel-Spendenaktion von Vereinen rund zwei Wochen nach Weihnachten. Und auch das ist in Zeiten der Corona-Pandemie anders.
Wie NDR 1 Niedersachsen berichtet, haben zahlreiche Vereine ihre Sammelaktionen abgesagt. So öffnen zum Beispiel in Stadt und Landkreis Osnabrück deshalb heute und am kommenden Sonnabend die Grünabfallsammelplätze. Der Landkreis Oldenburg bietet im Januar ebenfalls zusätzliche Termine bei den Grünabfallplätzen an. In der Grafschaft Bentheim holt die Müllabfuhr die Bäume ab - das war in Braunschweig und Lüneburg ohnehin bereits in den vergangenen Jahren die übliche Vorgehensweise.
Zweckverband rechnet mit mehr Bäumen als in Vorjahren
Nach einem anderen Modell verfährt die Region Hannover. Dort gibt es Sammelstellen für die Bäume. Nach Einschätzung eines Sprechers des Zweckverbands Abfallwirtschaft für die Region dürften sie in diesem Jahr besonders voll sein. Viele Menschen, die sonst über Weihnachten in den Urlaub fahren, hätten es sich in diesem Jahr im eigenen Zuhause mit einem Baum gemütlich gemacht.
Verlust für Vereine
Der Ausfall der Aktion bedeutet für einige Vereine auch den Wegfall einer wichtigen Einnahmequelle. Der Landkreis Grafschaft Bentheim hat ein Spendenkonto eingerichtet für die Organisationen, die üblicherweise die Weihnachtsbäume einsammeln. Manche Vereine in Niedersachsen haben die Abholung an die Corona-Lage angepasst. Sie bitten darum, den Baum an die Straße zu stellen und eine Spende zu überweisen.

HSBC will close 82 branches across the country, the company has announced.
Sites will start shutting their doors permanently from April 23, starting with Edinburgh’s Princes Street branch, with approximately three closing each week until the end of September.
HSBC said the Covid-19 pandemic has seen a greater shift to online banking although insisted the closures were not entirely related to the lockdowns and restrictions introduced.
Staff in branches facing closure are also expected to be redeployed to other branches and sites within 15 miles of their homes, the bank said.
HSBC said the closures are part of plans to become a market-leading digital bank and an overhaul of how remaining branches will operate.
Of the 82 sites closing, 81 are within a mile of a Post Office, two thirds are within five miles of another HSBC branch and nine in 10 are within 10 miles, the bank added.
Bosses said the changes will see four distinct branch formats that “best suit customer needs, based on detailed analysis of customer behaviour”.
These include full service branches, cash service branches for customers who need greater access to cash, counterless branches with self-services only and pop up branches.
Jackie Uhi, HSBC UK’s head of network, said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has emphasised the need for the changes that we are making.
“It hasn’t pushed us in a different direction but reinforces the things that we were focusing on before and has crystallised our thinking.
“This is a strategic direction that we need to take to have a branch network fit for the future.
“Making sure we have a sustainable branch network is essential to us, and decisions to close branches are not taken lightly.
“By ensuring we have the most suitable branch format in each specific local market that we serve, we will ensure that we are in good shape to meet the challenges ahead.”
She added that stripping out any impact of the pandemic, the number of customers using branches has fallen by a third in the last five years.
Nine in ten of all customer contact the bank over the phone, internet or smartphone and staff talk with more than 100,000 customers a week on social media.
Similar moves were announced in the past 12 months by rivals and a recent report by consumer group Which? found banks and building societies closed, or scheduled to close, 3,770 branches since January 2015.

Ingham floods as torrential rain soaks North Queensland

Flooding has occurred in parts of North Queensland after torrential rain from ex-Tropical Cyclone Imogen drenched the region.
Shops, cars and houses were inundated in Ingham, north of Townsville, after 122 millimetres fell in one hour this morning.
Dominic Zighoni spent the morning laying sandbags outside his seafood shop as the water rose.
The Ingham local told 9News this morning's downpour was unusually heavy.
"That was a bit of a wake-up call, I haven't heard one like that for a while," he said.
"It's unreal. Ten days a go we were in drought and now we've got 30 or 40 feet in the river running through."
The Severe Weather Warning for the region has now been cancelled but forecasters say the risk of severe thunderstorms and localised rainbands which may lead to flash flooding remains.
Drivers are being urged to take care, with dozens of roads still flooded across the state.
The SES has received more than 100 calls for assistance since Sunday.

The Duchess of Sussex’s letter to her estranged father was written “to defend her against charges of being an uncaring or unloving daughter”, the Mail on Sunday’s 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 say the publication of an “intrinsically private, personal and sensitive” letter was a “plain and serious invasion” of her privacy and argue Associated Newspapers Limited (ANL) has “no prospect” of defending her privacy and copyright claims.
However, ANL claims Meghan wrote the letter “with a view to it being disclosed publicly at some future point” and that she was “at least in some measure prepared for the information to be disclosed”.
The duchess is applying for “summary judgment”, a legal step which would see those parts of the case resolved without a trial, in relation to her claims for misuse of private information and breach of copyright.
But, at a two-day remote hearing on Tuesday, ANL’s barrister Antony White QC argued that “there is a very real question as to whether the claimant will be able to establish that she had a reasonable – or any – expectation of privacy”.
Mr White said in written submissions that Meghan’s admission she had “a fear” that her letter to her father might be intercepted showed that “she must, at the very least, have appreciated that her father might choose to disclose it”.
He also referred to the involvement of the Kensington Palace communications team before the letter was sent, saying: “No truly private letter from daughter to father would require any input from the Kensington Palace communications team.”
Justin Rushbrooke QC, representing the duchess, earlier described the hand-written letter as “a heartfelt plea from an anguished daughter to her father”, which was sent to Mr Markle at his home in Mexico via “the claimant’s accountant … to minimise 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”.
But Mr White said in ANL’s written case that Meghan’s “status as a member of the royal family whose familial and personal relationships are in the public eye” was relevant.
He added that the “admitted falsity” of an article about Meghan in People magazine, which ANL says brought the letter to her father into the public domain, meant Mr Markle “was not only entitled to correct public information about the letter and the reply, it was in the public interest that (he) did so”.
Mr White argued: “Mr Markle has a right to tell his story of his relationship and communications with his daughter … no US court would stop him from doing so, and he could have and could still, whatever the outcome of this case, speak to the US media on this topic at any time.”
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”.
But Mr White argued there is “a real prospect that the claimant will fail to establish either that she was the sole author in the copyright sense” as a result of the involvement of Jason Knauf, formerly communications secretary to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, in writing the letter.
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.

Heavy rain pushes Sydney's Warragamba Dam close to the brim

Water is being released from Sydney's Warragamba Dam which is almost full to bursting after weeks of heavy rains.
The dam - Sydney's main water source - is now at 97.7 percent capacity, having surged 1.1 percent in the past week and almost two percent in the last month.
In the grip of one of the worst droughts in decades, the dam hit a low of 42 per cent in February last year, before almost doubling its capacity in the next six months.
WaterNSW started making small, controlled releases of water yesterday at Warragamba Dam.
It's expected 3500 megalitres will be released each day for the next two weeks, Water NSW spokesperson Tony Webber said.
"The releases will take it down to slightly over 96 percent of capacity, or one metre below full supply level," he said.
Dam levels are generally kept at one metre below full capacity at Warragamba Dam in order to stop its automatic gates from being triggered.
The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting between three to 13 mm of rain for the Sydney region in the next week.
Under the current forecast, the dam was not expected to spill over, Mr Webber said.
Meanwhile, total storage levels across all Greater Sydney dams is at 94.6 percent. Tallowa Dam is spilling over, while Prospect Dam is at 95.1 percent.
The La Nina effect, which is characterised by increased rainfall, has led the state's remarkable recovery from drought.
According to the NSW Department of Primary Industries, just 1.4 percent of the state is now drought affected.

By David Randall
NEW YORK, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Jeffrey Gundlach, the billionaire chief executive of investment firm DoubleLine Capital, said on Tuesday he is bullish on Asian emerging market stocks and neutral on bitcoin given the volatility of the cryptocurrency.
Gundlach, whose Los Angeles-based firm manages more than $140 billion in assets, said valuations across financial markets appear stretched given massive amounts of global economic stimulus in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We remain mired in a house of mirrors," Gundlach said on a webcast.
In a wide-ranging presentation, he noted that some long-term market trends may be stalling, such as the outperformance of U.S. equities versus the rest of the world and large-cap U.S. equities rallying more than small-caps.
At the same time, he predicted that the United States may experience additional rounds of layoffs focused on middle-management as companies make some work from home policies permanent given worker preferences.
The U.S. economy shed jobs for the first time in eight months in December, with the majority of job losses coming in sectors such as hospitality and leisure that remain battered by the coronavirus pandemic.
Asian emerging market stocks have rallied at the start of the year, with South Korean shares up nearly 10% and China's CSI 300 index up 7.4%. The U.S. benchmark S&P 500, by comparison, is up 1.2% over the same time.
Gundlach noted that he has shifted his outlook for bitcoin to neutral from overweight. The cryptocurrency dropped more than 11% on Monday and remains 15% below the all-time high it hit on Jan. 9.
"This looks like a dangerous market with this type of volatility," Gundlach said. "I don't like having to worry that I'm going to lose 20 percent in an hour."

Cat found dumped in zip-tied garbage bag in the Adelaide Hills

A cat has been found by South Australian police officers inside a zip-tied garbage bag and thrown to the side of the road in the Adelaide Hills.
Officers were on patrol on Monday evening when they noticed a garbage bag with a cardboard box inside around 6pm on Gorge Road in Millbrook.
On closer inspection, they discovered the bag contained a live animal and freed the 15-year-old male cat Stitch.
Stitch was severely underweight and had an infected wound on his stomach, which he had surgery for this morning.
Because Stitch was microchipped, his owners were located in the suburb of Paradise, also in Adelaide.
They said Stitch had gone missing from their property around three months ago when they reportedly heard a car door slam on the night of his disappearance.
The owners have been ruled out as suspects, with the search for those responsible underway.
The cat is now in the care of RSPCA South Australia, where RSPCA Chief Inspector Andrea Lewis said the cruelty dealt to Stitch was "shocking".
"There is nothing in this situation to indicate this person or persons wanted this animal to survive," Ms Lewis said.
"They must have been aware that their actions had a high likelihood of causing this old cat a slow, terrifying and agonising death.
"When there are so many humane options available to people with unwanted animals, you have to ask what kind of person would do this."
In South Australia animal cruelty offences carry a maximum jail term of four years or a fine of up to $50,000.
The RSPCA is now urging anyone with information about Stitch's dumping to come forward.

Wegen des Winterwetters rechnen Verantwortliche im Harz und Deister am Wochenende wieder mit vielen Besuchern. Die Kommunen reagieren mit schärferen Regeln. Ganz vorne: der Landkreis Holzminden.
Als erster Landkreis in Niedersachsen hat Holzminden das Betreten mehrerer Rodelwiesen verboten. Von heute bis vorerst nächsten Mittwoch wurden per Allgemeinverfügung mehrere Rodelhänge im Weserbergland gesperrt. Darunter sind Bereiche des Höhenzuges Hochsolling, des Hils, des Iths sowie ein Stück des Köterberges. Wer sich nicht daran hält, dem kann ein Bußgeld von bis zu 25.000 Euro drohen, wie es in der Allgemeinverfügung heißt.
Bereitschaftspolizei und zusätzliche Ordnungskräfte kontrollieren
Es gehe darum, größere Menschenansammlungen zu vermeiden, begründete Landkreissprecher Peter Drews die Maßnahme. Man wolle nicht den Menschen verbieten, Schnee und die Natur zu genießen, sagte er NDR 1 Niedersachsen. Um die Verbote durchzusetzen, mobilisiert der Landkreis Mitarbeiter der Ordnungsämter - auch von den Gemeinden, in denen gar keine Rodelhänge gesperrt sind. Die Polizei Holzminden setzt zudem zusätzlich Bereitschaftspolizisten aus Göttingen ein.
Appell im Harz: "Bleiben Sie zu Hause"
Auch andere Wintersportregionen haben Vorkehrungen getroffen, um Tagesausflügler abzuhalten. Im Harz hat der Landkreis Goslar den Verleih von Wintersportgeräten an Wochenenden verboten. Zudem sollen auch hier deutlich mehr Polizisten und Ordnungskräfte eingesetzt werden. Wenn die Parkplätze im Harz voll sind, sollen auch Straßen gesperrt werden - etwa die Bundesstraße 4 von Bad Harzburg nach Torfhaus. "Unser oberster Appell ist weiter: Bleiben Sie zu Hause", sagte Kreissprecher Maximilian Strache. Sperrungen von Flächen im Wald oder Rodelhängen hat der Landkreis dagegen ausgeschlossen. Diese seien im weitläufigen Harz weder machbar noch verhältnismäßig, sagte Landrat Thomas Brych (SPD) bereits am Donnerstag.
Lage im Deister unter Beobachtung
Auch im Deister ist derzeit kein Rodelverbot geplant. "Wir beobachten die Situation aber weiter", sagte eine Sprecherin der Region Hannover. In den vergangenen Tagen hatte das Winterwetter auch im Deister viele Ausflügler angezogen. Die rund 120 Parkplätze am Nienstedter Pass, einem beliebten Ausflugsziel, waren oft schon am Morgen voll. Ordnungsamt und Polizei zeigten verstärkt Präsenz. Wer nicht auf ausgewiesenen Parkplätzen parkte, sondern etwa an Straßenrändern, wurde abgeschleppt. Ein Polizeisprecher betonte, dass die Beamten auch die Corona-Abstandsregeln kontrollieren. Verboten seien Spaziergänge im Deister-Schnee nicht. "Wenn die Menschen einen Parkplatz finden, dürfen sie auch im Wald spazieren. Die Regeln müssen nur eingehalten werden", so der Sprecher.
Weiterer Schnee erwartet
Die Meteorologen sagen weiterhin winterliches Wetter vorher. Im Harz und im Weserbergland können bis Freitagabend sogar noch zehn bis 15 Zentimeter Neuschnee fallen, der ab 300 bis 400 Metern Höhe liegen bleibt. Am Wochenende soll es dann nur noch ab und zu schneien und zwischendurch sogar sonnig werden. Am Montag könnte sich die Lage dann entspannen: Die Temperaturen sollen steigen - und der Schnee vielerorts schmelzen.

PARIS, Jan 19 (Reuters) - European prompt power prices fell on Tuesday as wind power is expected to rise and demand will fall in France and Germany.
* German baseload power for Wednesday shed 15% to 38.70 euros ($46.91) per megawatt hour (MWh) by 1030 GMT.
* The equivalent French contract was down 15.4% at 51.85 euros/MWh.
* German wind power is set to rise 2.9 gigawatts (GW) on Wednesday to 34.8 GW, Refinitiv Eikon data showed.
* A strong wind supply and climbing solar power generation will reduce the residual load day on day, Refinitiv analysts said, adding the situation was bearish in the surrounding Central Western European area.
* Power supply from wind turbines in Germany is set to rise again on Thursday, the data showed.
* French wind power is expected to rise by 1.4 GW to 11 GW, the data showed.

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Moving 50,000 civil servants out of London to the north of England could give the region a £3bn economic boost, a report endorsed by Tory MPs argues.
The Northern Policy Foundation said re-locating entire departments would help reduce the North-South divide and could improve public services over time.
It is proposing moving the Treasury to Leeds, the Home Office to Newcastle and the Department of Health to Liverpool.
The government plans to shift 22,000 civil servants out of London by 2030.
In March's Budget, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced plans to create a campus in the north of England for 750 staff from a range of government departments, including the Treasury and the Department for Business.
But the think tank, whose board members include a number of "Blue Wall" Conservative MPs who were elected in traditionally held Labour seats across the north of England in 2019, said the government's vision was not ambitious enough.
Scott Benton, the MP for Blackpool South, said more "radical" steps were needed to "spread opportunities and growth more widely" and ministers needed to learn from the "mistakes of the past".
The Foundation believes only a total re-location of the Whitehall machine will have the necessary galvanising effect and begin to tackle decades of over-centralisation of decision-making in London.
While four out of five of the UK's 456,000 or so civil servants work outside London, according to the last data, many of those are in junior positions at the Department of Work and Pensions and Revenue and Customs.
The most senior officials remain over-represented in London, particularly those who advise ministers and implement policy.
The think tank has identified 49,500 jobs which it believes could be moved to different regions by matching the needs of individual departments with areas' economic and employment strengths, their digital connectivity and other factors, such as house prices.
Its blueprint would see a series of new departmental clusters in the north-west, in locations such as Lancaster (Education), Preston (Defence), Salford (Culture) and Manchester (Justice and Courts).
Under the proposals, the bulk of the Treasury's operations would move to Leeds, while York - mooted last year as a future site for the House of Lords - would be the new home of the Department of Environment and Rural Affairs.
Newcastle would be home to a new "crime fighting" hub, bringing the Home Office, the UK Border Force and the Prison and Probation office together, while the business and work and pensions departments would be based in Stockton-on-Tees in County Durham.
The Foundation said polling it had carried out suggested the move would be popular with the public who wanted to see more economic opportunities in the north and the gap closed between the south and the rest of England.
However, it said voters - including low-skilled, blue collar workers who backed the Conservative for the first time in 2019 - would need convincing that it would have a positive impact on their lives.
"The government's recent announcements are a good first step but lack ambition and are in danger of taking too long and running out of steam," said the think tank's director Tom Lees.
"Moving Whitehall mandarins and roles out of London allows for recruitment of local people with different backgrounds...Given the proliferation of Zoom, Teams and other technology there is no real need to be in close physical proximity."
Government departments have been asked to assess what roles do not need to be in London and to ensure the locations earmarked for their re-deployment have the skilled workforce necessary.
More than 3,000 staff working for non-departmental bodies and agencies are to be moved out of the capital while the default position is that any new quangos created in future will not be headquartered in London.
Officials from different departments are increasingly being housed together in "government hubs", with new locations planned in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Belfast, Nottingham Cardiff and Bristol.
The Conservatives are also setting up a second headquarters in Leeds as part of their manifesto pledge to "level up" the country after Brexit.

Trump 'would not be welcome in Scotland due to coronavirus restrictions'

US President Donald Trump - just like anyone from outside the country - would not be welcome in Scotland at the moment due to coronavirus-related restrictions.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was asked during a news conference about unconfirmed Scottish media speculation that Trump could be planning a trip to one of his golf courses in Scotland around the time of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany dismissed the speculation as incorrect.
"This is not accurate. President Trump has no plans to travel to Scotland," McEnany told CNN in a statement.
On Monday, Ms Sturgeon ordered most of Scotland into a harsh new lockdown for the rest of January, as Covid-19 cases and deaths spike across the United Kingdom.
The order imposes a legal requirement on Scottish residents to stay at home except for essential purpose, including caring responsibilities, essential shopping, essential exercise and being part of an extended household.
"I have no idea what Donald Trump's travel plans are," Sturgeon said.
"We are not allowing people to come into Scotland without an essential purpose right now. And that would apply to him just as it applies to anybody else," she added.
"Coming to play golf is not what I would consider to be an essential purpose."

Ende des 16. Jahrhunderts kamen aus Portugal die ersten Juden ins damals noch dänische Altona. Seitdem haben die Juden in der Hansestadt eine bewegte Geschichte erlebt. Etliche Orte in Hamburg erinnern an diese.
Bis zur Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten 1933 lebten rund 20.000 Angehörige jüdischer Gemeinden in Hamburg. Nach den Pogromen wurden allein in Hamburg rund 8.000 Juden deportiert und umgebracht. Heute zählt die Jüdische Gemeinde in Hamburg rund 2.500 Mitglieder.
Jüdisches Leben in Hamburg entdecken
Das Institut für die Geschichte der deutschen Juden bietet online ein historisches Nachschlagewerk zum jüdischen Hamburg an. Ein Faltblatt mit einem großformatigen Stadtplan verzeichnet 30 Orte, an denen sich Spuren jüdischen Lebens in Hamburg finden. Der Faltplan "Jüdisches Leben in Hamburg" will nicht nur das Offensichtliche zeigen. Er ortet vor allem die versteckten Spuren jüdischer Kultur, die sich überall in der Stadt finden. Hintergrundinformationen zu den Orten sind in deutscher, englischer und hebräischer Sprache auf dem Faltblatt abgedruckt. Der Plan kann von den Internetseiten der Stadt Hamburg heruntergeladen werden.
Bornplatz-Synagoge soll wieder aufgebaut werden
Ein Schwerpunkt historischer und gegenwärtiger Stätten jüdischen Lebens in Hamburg liegt im Grindelviertel. Hier befindet sich etwa der Joseph-Carlebach-Platz - der einstige Bornplatz -, wo seit 1906 die größte Hamburger Synagoge stand. 1.200 Menschen fanden dort Platz. Im Zuge der Reichspogromnacht 1938 wurde die Synagoge verwüstet und im folgenden Jahr abgerissen. Der Namensgeber des Platzes, Joseph Carlebach war als Oberrabbiner 1936 an die Synagoge berufen worden. Ein Bodenmosaik, das die Umrisse der ehemaligen Synagoge markiert, erinnert an die Geschichte des Gotteshauses. Im Februar 2020 hat die Hamburgische Bürgerschaft den Weg frei gemacht für den Wiederaufbau der zerstörten Bornplatz-Synagoge.
Lernen unter Polizeischutz
In die Talmud-Tora-Schule, die die Nationalsozialisten 1942 geschlossen hatten, ist 2007 wieder jüdisches Leben eingekehrt. Nach 13 Jahren Schulbetrieb - wegen des Risikos antisemitischer Angriffe unter permanentem Polizeischutz - konnten in der heutigen Joseph-Carlebach-Schule im Sommer 2020 die ersten Abitur-Prüfungen abgelegt werden.
Nur 200 Meter entfernt ist ein zeitgenössischer Ort jüdischen Lebens: das Café Leonar. Seit Anfang 2008 hat sich das Kaffeehaus vor dem Hintergrund jüdischer Kultur und Küche zu einem lebendigen Ort der Begegnung im Stadtteil entwickelt.
Hannoverscher Bahnhof: Zwei Gleise erinnern an das Grauen
Der Hannoversche Bahnhof am Lohseplatz ist seit 2017 Gedenkstätte. Neben Gedenktafeln mit den Namen aller Opfer erinnern ein paar Gleise und ein Bahnsteig des ansonsten 1955 abgerissenen Bahnhofs an die 8.071 Juden, Sinti und Roma, die zwischen 1940 und 1945 von hier aus verschleppt wurden in Ghettos und nationalsozialistische Vernichtungslager in Osteuropa.
Salomon Heine - Kaufmann und Mäzen
Einer der prominentesten Hamburger Juden war Salomon Heine (1767 - 1844). Seine Spuren finden sich an mehreren Stellen in der Stadt. So zum Beispiel das Gartenhaus im Heine-Park in Ottensen. Der wohlhabende Kaufmann besaß eine Sommerresidenz am Elbufer, von der heute nur noch der 34 Quadratmeter große Gartensaal mit Kuppeldecke und Stuckverzierungen erhalten ist. Seit 1975 kümmert sich der Verein Heine-Haus e.V. um den Erhalt des historischen Gebäudes, das auch zu Vortragsreihen über jüdische Themen genutzt wird.
Beim "Großen Brand" in der Hamburger Altstadt 1842 hatte Heine ohne Zögern sein Haus am Jungfernstieg sprengen lassen, um die Ausbreitung der Flammen zu stoppen. Der großzügige Mäzen unterstützte nicht nur seinen Neffen, den Dichter Heinrich Heine, sondern stiftete im Gedenken an seine verstorbene Frau Betty auch das Krankenhaus der Deutsch-Israelitischen Gemeinde, das er vollständig finanzierte.

This book is a delight, and it’s about delight too. How necessary, at our particular moment. Novelist and short story writer George Saunders has been teaching creative writing at Syracuse University in the US for the last 20 years, including a course in the 19th-century Russian short story in translation. “A few years back, after the end of one class (chalk dust hovering in the autumnal air, old-fashioned radiator clanking in the corner, marching band processing somewhere in the distance, let’s say),” he had the realisation that “some of the best moments of my life, the moments during which I’ve really felt myself offering something of value to the world, have been spent teaching that Russian class.”
I love the warmth with which he writes about this teaching, and agree wholeheartedly that there’s not much on earth as good, if you’re that way inclined, as an afternoon spent discussing sublime fiction with a class of eagerly intelligent apprentice writers, saturated in the story and greedy for insight and understanding (everyone saturated and greedy, the teacher along with the rest). He’s right, too – as well as appealingly modest – in thinking that the best teaching is “of value” straightforwardly, as writing itself somehow can’t be. You don’t get up from your writing table believing you’ve done something “of value to the world”.
Now Saunders has developed as essays some of the thoughts arising from those classes, and put them together into a book alongside the stories he’s discussing – by Chekhov, Tolstoy, Turgenev and Gogol. These essays aren’t anything like academic analysis. The questions that get asked in a reading-for-writers class are inflected differently from literary criticism – “Why did the writer do this?” rather than “How must we read this?” – even if they converge finally on the same points of appreciation, and the same questions of meaning.
Saunders doesn’t come from the end of a completed story but dives in at the beginning and into the middle, trying to experience it in the making, imagine why it unfolded the way it did. He takes Chekhov’s “In the Cart”, for instance, literally one page at a time, interrupting the text with his interrogations. Now, what do you know? And now? And what are you curious about? Where do you think the story is headed? Why did Chekhov go that way, and not this? So much for the death of the author. This kind of reading (one of the best kinds, I’m convinced) tracks the author’s intentions – and missed intentions, and intuitions, and instinctive recoil from what’s banal or obvious – so closely and intimately, at every step, through every sentence.
Marya, a thwarted, lonely schoolmistress is making her way home in a cart from the town where she’s gone to pick up her salary, to the bleak village school where she works. “She felt as though she had been living in these parts for a long, long time, for a hundred years, and it seemed to her that she knew every stone, every tree on the road from the town to her school. Here was her past and her present, and she could imagine no other future than the school, the road to the town and back … ” Saunders begins to speculate forwards, as any reader is bound to. “The story has said of her, ‘She is unhappy and can’t imagine any other life for herself.’ And we feel the story preparing itself to say something like, ‘Well, we’ll see about that.’”
A less good writer than Chekhov might have worked with the grain of the expectation raised: something might happen to save Marya from her future. A love affair? As if on cue, one attractive and wealthy landowner appears alongside her in his carriage. But nothing doing: the landowner’s a bit useless and ineffective, and anyway Marya’s preoccupied by her problems with the janitor at school, who is rude to her and hits the boys. Good writing works in intricate relationship with a reader’s expectations, raising them and leading them on, then sidestepping or surpassing them. Not merely disappointing them: the story can’t do nothing with Marya, that would be cheating. We’d ask, what was it for, then? The writer has to find a sweet spot between an implausibly happy resolution and a brute refusal of satisfaction. He has to find out what movement there is, and what freedom, inside the story’s particular conditions – but without cheaply magicking them away. Being Chekhov, in this case he finds it. (Read the story.)
All this makes Saunders’s book very different from just another “how to” creative writing manual, or just another critical essay. In enjoyably throwaway fashion, he assembles along his way a few rules for writing. “Be specific! Honour efficiency! … “Always be escalating,” he says. “That’s all a story is, really: a continual system of escalation. A swath of prose earns its place in the story to the extent that it contributes to our sense that the story is (still) escalating.” There’s truth in all of this, though I do wonder whether you can actually learn to write better by following these explicit prescriptions, or rules of craft, extracted from what you read. Perhaps.
It’s certainly true, in any case, that reading “In the Cart” or Tolstoy’s “Master and Man” with this rich, close attention will mulch down into any would-be writer’s experience, and repay them by fertilising their own work eventually, as they struggle with the words on their own page. Perhaps it’s less like applying a series of lessons and more like the training of an intuition that flashes between hand, eye, mind. That defining human transaction, teaching and learning through imitation, the master’s hand closed over the apprentice’s to guide it.
Saunders’s concentration is often on the forward dynamic of the stories, their “tight, escalatory pattern”. In “a highly organised system, the causation is more pronounced and intentional”. Good writing is “the cumulative result of all this repetitive choosing on the line level, those thousands of editing microdecisions”. This focus on process can sound occasionally like a reductive functionalism – each detail is there because it makes the story work. In reading, though, don’t we feel it the other way round: as if the story were only there so that for a moment we can contemplate the truth of the detail, of the experience?
At the climax of “Master and Man”, wealthy merchant Vasili Andreevich, lost in a snowstorm at night and imagining the reality of his death for the first time, sees tall stalks of wormwood sticking out of the snow, “desperately tossing about under the pressure of the wind which beat it all to one side and whistled through it”. The writing holds us still through its descriptive truthfulness, its miraculous verisimilitude. And that’s in the writer too: he’s not merely thinking how to entertain us more effectively. His effort at that moment of writing, in the midst of all his “repetitive choosing” (which is what makes the story work), is subordinated to the vision in his mind’s eye, which holds still for him even as he labours to bring it into being.
Saunders knows that too. One of the pleasures of this book is feeling his own thinking move backwards and forwards, between the writer dissecting practice and the reader entering in through the spell of the words, to dwell inside the story. He’s particularly good on the ending of Tolstoy’s “Alyosha the Pot”, burrowing into all the things Tolstoy chooses not to say about the death of its protagonist, and ending, after much discussion of the story’s point and its value, with his own “state of wondering”, every time he reads it.

Storms to hit northern NSW following cloudiest New Year week in 40 years

A warning has been issued for heavy rain and electric storms are expected to hit the north-east of New South Wales this afternoon.
A low pressure trough over the eastern part of the NSW is bringing a humid air mass into the north-east.
The next several hours could see severe thunderstorms hit Glen Innes, Inverell, Moree, Dorrigo, Ashford and Bingara.
Residents have been warned to prepare for flash flooding which could develop about the Northern Rivers district, and possibly north-eastern parts of the Northern Tablelands.
"We're dealing with very saturated soils so that heavy rain could lead to flash flooding," the Bureau of Meteorology said.
"For the next 24 hours we're seeing a thunderstorm risk for the eastern parts and a possible severe thunderstorm risk for the north-east as well."
There is also a flood watch for the Orara and Bellinger rivers today with alerts in place for Richmond and Wilsons river for early tomorrow morning.
Potential for heavy rainfall is expected to continue into tomorrow morning, before easing by tomorrow afternoon.
The Sydney metro area experienced significant thunderstorms overnight.
In Greater Sydney there were approximately 12,000 total lightning strikes between midday yesterday and midnight, with around 1000 of those strikes hitting the ground.
The wet weather comes after more than a week of relentless rain and wet weather conditions particularly along the state's coastal regions.
In the week to January 4, Sydney saw on average one hour and three minutes of sunshine a day.
This was the cloudiest week around the new year in more than 40 years, and the cloudiest week in 7.5 years.
This falls well short of the typical seven hours of sunshine usually enjoyed around this time of year.
These troughs also brought showers or rain on every day, with the weekly rainfall total creeping just above 50mm.

As the nation's students head back to the classroom in 2021 there are lingering feelings of stress and anxiety related to COVID-19, education experts warn.
"We are living with that undertone of 'if lockdown occurs again'," says remote and online education specialist Tania Leach.
"Be mindful it's not business as usual."
The University of Southern Queensland lecturer says online learning during lockdown caused stress and anxiety, especially for vulnerable students and staff - and those feelings are likely to be lingering at the start of the new school year.
Ms Leach knows some teachers left the profession in 2020 after months of uncertainty and needing to adapt quickly to change.
"We underestimate how the COVID situation impacted people," she says.
"For some it was a trigger that led to high levels of stress and anxiety. Some just felt the need to put themselves and their family first."
The pandemic also took an emotional toll on children and young people.
Child behaviour problems were up 23 per cent and emotional distress up 70 per cent last year compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, says Triple P parenting program director Carol Markie-Dadds.
She urges parents whose children are experiencing challenges to "seek help rather than going it alone".
"Whether you have a child starting school, going off to high school, or anywhere in between, helping children manage their emotions and build resilience will set them up for a successful school year," Ms Markie-Dadds said.
If schools face lockdowns in 2021 many would find it easier to revert to the virtual classroom because processes and resources are still in place.
But education experts say the online learning experiences during lockdown in 2020 should also be a catalyst for change, providing opportunities for schools, governments and parents.
People in the education field are talking about how much learning needs to be face-to-face and what flexibility is possible, especially for senior students, according to Ms Leach.
"It's going to be interesting to see within schools how their pedagogy changes," she said.
There could be opportunities for schools to integrate more technology into classrooms.
During lockdowns remote learning became more accessible and less extraordinary, says University of South Australia Associate Professor Elspeth McInnes.
"Let's keep it in the repertoire of things we have available to all learners," she suggests.
As people working from home instead of an office became normalised, so educators experienced other ways children could learn and still have good outcomes.
But experts are concerned about students without access to technology and those from low-socioeconomic status households who struggled when having to learn at home.
Early childhood expert Michele Wright says the federal government previously funded a high school laptop program, but that's been stopped, and now children in even earlier years also need devices.
Schools also prioritise technology differently, with some choosing to invest elsewhere, but we need to start "moving forward faster".
Ms Wright likens it to some people valuing a horse-and-cart when the car has been invented.
"COVID has shown us when you change the landscape you've got to actually say 'I need the car'."
She recognises teachers and parents did their very best in 2020, but says the experience provides learning opportunities for the future.
"When we see what's happening around the world we need to think about whether our schools and parents could sustain some of the methods we used here for a longer period of time," she said.

In Schleswig-Holstein gibt es 513 neu gemeldete Corona-Fälle (Stand 8.1.). Eine Woche zuvor wurden laut Landesmeldestelle 113 Neuinfektionen registriert.
Seit Beginn der Pandemie haben sich nach Angaben der Landesregierung 28.043 Schleswig-Holsteiner nachweislich mit dem Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 infiziert. Etwa 21.000 gelten nach einer Schätzung des Robert Koch Instituts (RKI) als genesen. Laut der aktuellen Statistik der Landesmeldestelle gab es im Zusammenhang mit der Viruserkrankung Covid-19 bisher 534 Todesfälle, 14 mehr als am Vortag. Die Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz für Schleswig-Holstein beträgt nach diesen Daten 96,2 (Vortag: 83,2). Sämtliche tagesaktuellen Zahlen sind nach Aussagen von Experten seit Weihnachten und bis etwa Mitte Januar allerdings nur bedingt aussagekräftig, weil weniger Tests durchgeführt werden und nicht alle Gesundheitsämter regelmäßig Daten übermitteln.
364 Corona-Patienten in Krankenhäusern
Aktuell werden in den Krankenhäusern im Land 364 Menschen behandelt, die positiv auf Corona getestet wurden - das sind 15 weniger als am Vortag. 66 der Covid-Patienten befinden sich in Intensivtherapie (+/-0), 44 Patienten müssen beatmet werden (+/-0).
Impfungen gegen das Coronavirus
Seit dem 27. Dezember 2020 werden Menschen in Schleswig-Holstein gegen das Coronavirus geimpft. Die Impfquote zeigt an, wie viel Prozent der Bevölkerung bereits die erste von derzeit zwei nötigen Impfung erhalten haben.
Kreis Pinneberg mit höchster Inzidenz
Der Kreis Pinneberg hat die höchste Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz. Sie liegt bei 142,0. Dahinter folgen der Kreis Segeberg (137,1) und Flensburg (122,0).
Die folgende Karte zeigt die Auslastung der Intensivstationen in Schleswig-Holstein - zusammengefasst auf Ebene der Kreise und kreisfreien Städte. Wenn Sie eine Region auswählen (berühren oder anklicken), erfahren Sie, wie hoch die Auslastung dort exakt ist und erhalten die Information, wie viele Corona-Patienten auf Intensivstation behandelt werden und wie viele beatmet werden. Der Stand des Datums in der Tabelle ist zu beachten. Aufgrund von Verzögerungen im Meldeweg können die Angaben der Kliniken bzw. des DIVI-Intensivregisters abweichen.
Entwicklung der Corona-Fallzahlen in Schleswig-Holstein
Risikogebiet ab 50 Neuinfektionen pro 100.000 Einwohner
Das Infektionsgeschehen ist in den Kreisen und kreisfreien Städten in Schleswig-Holstein sehr unterschiedlich. Als Risikogebiet gilt ein Kreis oder eine kreisfreie Stadt, wenn die Schwelle von 50 neu gemeldeten Infektionen pro 100.000 Einwohner innerhalb von sieben Tagen überschritten ist. Dieser Wert ist sehr dynamisch und kann sich jeden Tag mit den neuen Informationen über gemeldete Infektionen ändern. In Schleswig-Holstein liegen die Kreise Dithmarschen (45,8) und Plön (42,0) unter der 50-er Schwelle.
Auf der folgenden Karte können Sie das Infektionsgeschehen der Landkreise in den fünf norddeutschen Ländern betrachten. Die Zahlen basieren auf den Daten des Robert Koch-Instituts (RKI). Sie sind am Vortag des jeweils angegebenen Datums ans RKI übermittelt worden. Damit sind sie die jüngsten vergleichbaren Werte, auf die wir automatisiert zugreifen können. Sie sind nicht so aktuell, wie die Zahlen, die die Kreise auf ihren Seiten veröffentlichen. Die Angaben können also leicht voneinander abweichen. Um die Werte in den Kreisen zu sehen, fahren Sie mit der Maus über die Landkreise (Desktop) oder tippen Sie auf den entsprechenden Kreis (Smartphone und Tablet):
Was diese Zahlen aussagen - und was nicht
Die Statistik der Landesregierung zeigt, wie viele bestätigte Corona-Infektionen den Behörden im Land bekannt sind und auf dem vorgesehenen Weg gemeldet wurden. Was die Statistik nicht eindeutig und schon gar nicht auf den aktuellen Tag genau zeigen kann, ist die Geschwindigkeit, mit der sich das Virus ausbreitet. Denn die Zahl der neu positiv getesteten Menschen enthält in der Regel auch nachgemeldete Fälle aus mehreren Tagen. Gerade rund um Wochenenden und Feiertage kommt es zu Verzögerungen in der Meldekette.

Wilson Bentley - im Hauptberuf Farmer - war leidenschaftlicher Schneeforscher. Am 15. Januar 1885 gelang es ihm, als einem der ersten Menschen, Schneekristalle unter dem Mikroskop zu fotografieren.
Es sei der größte Moment seines Lebens gewesen, sagte Wilson Bentley, als es ihm gelang, einen Schneekristall unter seinem Mikroskop zu fotografieren. Beinahe wäre er auf die Knie gefallen, so sehr rührte ihn der Anblick an. Das war heute vor mehr als 130 Jahren - und es klingt vielleicht einfacher, als es ist. Denn Schneekristalle sind extrem klein und winzig.
Viele Sternchen bilden eine Schneeflocke
Wer kennt das nicht, wenn sich beim Winterspaziergang eine Schneeflocke auf Ihrem Handschuh niederlässt. Dann lässt sich erahnen, dass sie sich aus vielen kleinen Sternchen zusammensetzt. Sechs Ärmchen wiederum hat jeder Stern, jeder Kristall, und sie verästeln sich zur Flocke. Es ist nicht möglich, mit den Fingern einen Kristall unbeschadet aus der Flocke herauszunehmen. Und auch mit dem Atmen muss man vorsichtig sein, denn die warme Luft bringt Schneekristalle zum Schmelzen.
Gottes Größe zeigt sich in den Wundern der Natur
"Wunderbar sind deine Werke, das erkennt meine Seele", heißt es in der Bibel, und es könnten meine Worte sein, wenn ich die Fotos der Schneekristalle von Wilson Bentley sehe. Über 5.000 einzelne Kristalle hat er fotografiert. Einer schöner als der andere, und kein Kristall gleicht dem anderen. Alle sind unterschiedlich geformt. Ist das nicht faszinierend? Wie kann so etwas Winziges, was schon seit Millionen von Jahren millionenfach auf die Erde fällt, immer anders schön sein? Darin zeigt sich Gottes Größe, finde ich, und ich vermute, dass Gott mit uns Menschen ein ähnliches Wunder geglückt ist.

The father of two young boys killed in an alleged hit-and-run by an unlicensed driver says it feels as though his heart has been ripped from his chest.
Shane and Sheldon Shorey, aged six and seven, were hit by a car about 4.30pm yesterday in Wellington, near Dubbo in regional NSW.
The boys both died at the scene. Their mother, 34, and two other boys, aged nine and 10, were also struck and injured.
The group was walking along grass by the side of the road on the way home from after leaving a local swimming pool when they were hit by a Holden Commodore.
"I have lost two beautiful boys who are just starting their lives," father Joseph Shorey said.
"It leaves my heart ripped out. I feel gutted, I feel empty.
"Two babies gone. I gotta bury two kids, I'd never wish that upon anyone."
Mr Shorey described his two sons as "the happiest kids in the world".
He said they were sporty, popular and loved playing footy at the oval near their home.
The boys, who lived in Queensland with Mr Shorey, had been in Wellington visiting their mother while on school holidays.
After the deadly crash, the boys' mother was airlifted to Westmead Hospital in Sydney where she remains in a stable condition.
The two other boys struck were both injured but are now stable.
The 10-year-old One was also taken to Westmead Hospital with serious leg injuries and has undergone surgery.
The nine-year-old other boy suffered minor injuries and has been released from hospital.
The alleged driver Jacob Donn was arrested on nearby Elizabeth Street last night and has been charged today.
Police searched him and allegedly found he was carrying a prescription medicine.
He has undergone drug and alcohol testing, but results are still pending.
He has been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death – driving in a dangerous manner; negligent driving occasioning death; negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm; dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm – driving in a dangerous manner; two counts of causing bodily harm by misconduct in charge of motor vehicle; being a never licensed person driving a vehicle on a road; two counts of failing to stop and assist after impact causing injury; two counts of failing to stop and assist after vehicle impact causing death; failing to stop and assist after vehicle impact causing grievous bodily harm; and possessing a prohibited drug.
Mr Donn was refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court tomorrow.
Acting Commander of the Orana Mid-Western Police District Natalie Antaw said today the tragic accident sent shockwaves through the small community.
"Obviously, the incident is a complete tragedy – a tragedy for the families and the township of Wellington," she said.
"(It is) a tragic incident involving young children which always makes it that much more difficult."
She said the families of the children killed and injured were "obviously grief-stricken".
Police said they are not looking for anyone else who may have been in the car but asked anyone who many have witnessed the crash or have dashcam footage to come forward.
Investigations continue.

Feyza Aktan'ın, fiziksel ve psikolojik şiddete maruz kaldığını iddia ederek, şarkıcı olan eski eşi Özcan Deniz ile ağabeyi Ercan Deniz hakkında savcılığa suç duyurusunda bulundu. Aktan, 2018-2019 yılları arasında evli kaldığı Deniz ile ağabeyi hakkında korunma talep etti ve iki ay uzaklaştırma kararı aldırdı.
Deniz'in eski eşine şiddet uyguladığı ve "Polisi ararsan yüzünde sigara söndürürüm" şeklinde tehdit ettiği de ileri sürüldü.Kuzey adında bir oğlu olan Özcan Deniz, hakkında çıkan haberlerin ardından konuyla ilgili sosyal medya hesabından açıklama yaptı.
Ünlü şarkıcı, "Basında ve sosyal medyada çıkan, hiçbir dayanağı olmayan, yıllar önce yaşandığı iddia edilen ama nedense o zaman değil de şimdi 'Çamur at, izi kalsın' düşüncesiyle ortaya atılmış, iftira niteliğindeki suçlamaların hiçbirini kabul etmiyorum. Şiddet uygulamadım, eski eşimi maddi manevi mağdur etmedim. Yeni bir projemin arifesinde de bunların yaşanması ayrı bir konu. Kurulacak çok cümle var ama ileride evladımı üzecek kayıtlar bırakmamak adında susuyorum. Ben, bu hayatta en değerli varlığım olan çocuğumu düşünmekteyim ve elimden alınmaya çalışılsa da oğlumu bu çirkin kavgadan zarar görmeden kurtarmaya çalışıyorum. Onun geleceğini inşaa etmek, ona maddi manevi iyi bir miras bırakmaya çalışmakla meşgulüm. Annesi hakkında ulu orta konuşmak gibi bir davranışım olmadı ve olmayacak. Ben ancak bir insan ve baba olarak kendimin ve çocuğumun zarar görme ihtimalinin doğması halinde, gerekli önlemleri almak için yasal yollara başvurup, haklarımı resmi mercilerde aramayı doğru buluyorum. Oğlumun geleceğinin gasbedilmesine de asla müsaade etmeyeceğim." ifadelerini kullandı.
Özcan Deniz'in bu sözlerinin ardından Feyza Aktan da açıklama yaptı Aktan, "Bugüne kadar hem yazılı hem de görsel medyada herhangi bir açıklamada bulunmadım. Elimden geldiği kadar da kaçtım hep böyle şeylerden. Ancak içinde bulunduğum durum, artık bana bu açıklamayı yapma zorunluluğu hissettirdi. Öncelikle karşı tarafın bana açmış olduğu bir velayet davası var. Bundan sebeptir ki, her anne gibi evladımın benden alınmaması için vermiş olduğum bir hukuk mücadelesinin içerisindeyim. Lanse edildiği gibi kimsenin kariyeriyle bugüne kadar bir derdim olmadı. Bu saatten sonra da asla olamaz. Bu zamana sessiz kalmamamın nedeni evladımdı, bu saatten sonra sessizliğimi bozmamın nedeni de yine evladım. Tek derdim evladımın velayetinin benden alınmamasıdır. Bunun dışında bir amacım yoktur" diye konuştu.
2019 YILINDA BOŞANDILAR2018'de Feyza Aktan ile nikah masasına oturan şarkıcı Özcan Deniz, aynı yıl nisan ayında oğlu Kuzey Deniz'i kucağına almıştı.Ancak çift, 15 ay evli kaldıktan sonra 2019 yılında anlaşmalı olarak tek celsede boşanmıştı. İkili, çocukları Kuzey için ortak velayet almıştı.
Geçtiğimiz haftalarda ise Özcan Deniz'in eski eşinin Sarıyer'de ikamet ettikleri evden çıkmasını istediği ancak Aktan'ın çıkmayı reddedip, oğlu ile orada yaşamaya devam ettiği öne sürülmüştü.

BENGALURU, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Indian shares ended more than 1% higher on Tuesday on hopes of more foreign fund inflows into the domestic market, as incoming Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is expected to bolster the case for heavy stimulus in the United States.
The blue-chip NSE Nifty 50 index gained 1.7% to 14,521.15 and the benchmark S&P BSE Sensex climbed 1.7% to 49,398.29. The Nifty and the Sensex had hit record highs last week before sliding in the past two sessions.
"There are increasing expectations of fresh stimulus that will come in the United States based on Janet Yellen's expected statement. Because of that, emerging markets are doing well," said Neeraj Dhawan, director at Quantum Securities in New Delhi.
Janet Yellen, U.S. President-elect Biden's nominee to run the Treasury Department, is also set to tell the Senate Finance Committee the government must "act big" with its next coronavirus relief package.
Foreign investors pumped more than $20 billion into Indian equities last year, according to Refinitiv Eikon data.
In Mumbai trading, Reliance Industries, which has lost about 9% since October, rose 1.6%, while Housing Development Finance Corp gained 3.5%, making them the top boosts to the Nifty 50 index.
Bajaj Finserv and Tata Motors were the top gainers on the Nifty index, adding 6.8% and 5.6%, respectively.
Shares of dairy firm Hatsun Agro Product rose 4.3% after the company posted a surge in December-quarter profit. The country's largest automaker Maruti Suzuki India Ltd jumped as much as 2% on its decision to raise car prices. (Reporting by Nallur Sethuraman in Bengaluru; Editing by Ramakrishnan M.)

A prisoner has been shot and killed in a main street of Wollongong, south of Sydney.
9News understands the man, in his 30s, was an inmate travelling from a prison in Nowra to Wollongong for medical treatment.
The medium security inmate is believed to have escaped from custody with an officer's firearm and turned it on himself.
The incident occurred on Crown Street, one of the busiest shopping areas in the region.
A Corrective Services NSW spokeswoman said an investigation into the man's death has begun.
"Corrective Services NSW is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of an inmate at Wollongong today, Wednesday 6 January 2021," the spokeswoman said.
"The 37-year-old man suffered serious self-inflicted injuries during an escort to a medical facility at approximately midday today and died a short time later.
"All deaths in custody are subject to a coronial inquest."

Der Weltknuddeltag, auch "National Hugging Day" genannt ist ein weltweiter Aktionstag, der jedes Jahr am 21. Januar stattfindet. Er soll daran erinnern, dass Menschen Nähe brauchen.
Eine richtig herzliche Umarmung: zurzeit wertvoller als je zuvor. Donnerstag ist "National Hugging Day", gegründet von einem amerikanischen Pfarrer. Er wollte ins Gedächtnis rufen, wie wichtig Liebe und Körperkontakt für Menschen sind. Und die trübe Zeit zwischen Weihnachten und Valentinstag passte da ganz gut. Seine Mutter ist auf jeden Fall ausgebildete Umarmerin gewesen. Klingt erstmal befremdlich.
Menschen sind für Umarmungen gemacht
Es zeigt aber auf jeden Fall: Eine glücklich machende Umarmung ist mehr als nur in den Arm zu nehmen - und fertig. Es braucht ein gutes Gespür für Zwei. Nicht nur für den anderen, sondern auch für sich selbst. Tatsächlich gibt es Umarmungen, die sind eher ein Wegschieben als eine Berührung. Es gibt Umarmungspannen, kumpelhafte Schulterklopfer, Veralbern. Ablenkmanöver davon, dass wir uns bei einer Umarmung, Bauch an Bauch, Brust an Brust so richtig nahekommen.
Wenn eine Umarmung aber gelingt, dann ist Schluss mit Isolation. Dann gibt es einen Energiefluss. Wer etwas gibt und nimmt, lässt sich gar nicht mehr feststellen. Beide werden innerlich satt. Ich finde, eine Umarmung hat definitiv etwas Göttliches. Dafür sind Menschen eigentlich gemacht. Kein Wunder, dass es heißt: Am Ende der Suche und der Frage nach Gott steht keine Antwort, sondern eine Umarmung.

Edirne’de, sınır kapılarında PCR testi ibraz zorunluluğunun ardından Bulgar turist sayısında düşüş yaşanınca, tarihi çarşıların esnafları da zor günler yaşıyor. Sınır kapılarında yılbaşından itibaren uygulanmaya başlanan PCR testi ibraz zorunluluğunun ardından Edirne’ye gelen Bulgar turist sayısında ciddi bir düşüş yaşandı. Tarihi Selimiye Camii’nin altında bulunan Arasta Çarşısı, Eski Cami’nin yanında bulunan Bedesten Çarşısı ve Üç Şerefeli Camii yakınında bulunan Ali Paşa Çarşısı esnafları zor günler yaşıyor. Neredeyse siftah yapmadan günü kapatan çarşı esnafları, dükkanlarının kira bedellerini de zar zor ödediklerini söyledi. PCR testi ibraz zorunluluğu 30 Aralık 2020’de başladı Sağlık Bakanlığı tarafından yurtdışından Türkiye’ye gelecekler için 30 Aralık’tan itibaren son 72 saat içinde yapılmış PCR negatif testi belgesi istenmeye başlandı. Tüm sınır kapılarında zorunlu olarak yapılan uygulamanın ardından Kapıkule Sınır Kapısı’ndan Türkiye’ye gelen Bulgar turist sayısı yok denecek kadar azaldı. Bulgar Turistlerin gelmemesi, Edirne’de ticari hayatı durma noktasına getirdi. Turistlerin en çok ziyaret ettiği kent merkezindeki tarihi çarşılarda yılbaşından bu yana yaprak kıpırdamıyor. Bir çok esnaf, işlerinin olmaması nedeniyle dükkanlarını bile açmıyor. “PCR testi zorunluluğu sonrası işlerimiz sıfır” Selimiye Arasta Dernek Başkanı Adem Bayrak, esnafların siftahsız dükkan kapattığını, böyle giderse kapanan dükkan sayısının artacağını söyledi. Bayrak, “O günden sonra işlerimiz sıfır. Bulgar geliyordu. İyi kötü benden olmazsa diğer arkadaşlardan, Edirne içindeki esnaftan alışveriş yapıyordu. Ama girişte Bulgarlardan PCR testi istiyorlarmış. Bu PCR testi de 120 Levaymış. Arkadaşlarımızla yapmış olduğumuz telefon görüşmelerine göre bu büyük bir meblağ oluyor. Gelmiyorlar” dedi. “Edirne yurtiçinden ve yurtdışından gelen turizmle ayakta olan bir kent Tarihi Alipaşa Çarşısı Dernek Başkanı Yılmaz Sanış, esnafın zor günler geçirdiğini söyleyerek, “Edirne’nin bir gerçeği var. Maalesef ki Edirne bir sınır kenti olduğu için her zaman söylediğimiz gibi ya yurtiçinden ya da yurtdışından gelen turizmle ayakta. Edirne turizm ile ekonomisini çeviren bir şehir. Pandemi dolayısıyla maalesef ki iç turizmde bayağı düşüşler var. Bu sefer Yunanistan ve Bulgaristan’dan gelenlerle Edirne ekonomisi ayakta kalıyor. Aralık ayı yurtdışından gelen turistlerin giriş yaptığı bir aydır. Çünkü malum onlarda Paskalya ve Yılbaşı kutlaması vardı. Aralık ayı bayağı kötü geçti. Aralık’ın 30’undan sonra kapılardan PCR testi istenince Edirne’ye yabancı gelmemeye başlayınca ticaret bir nevi artık durma noktasına geldi” diye konuştu. “Bu testler böyle devam ettiği sürece Bulgar gelmeyecek” Arasta esnaflarından Fatma Kıral da zorunlu test uygulamasının ardından Bulgar turistlerin gelmemesiyle işlerin bıçak gibi kesildiğini belirterek, “Testler zorunlu hale getirildiğinden beri işlerimiz bıçak gibi kesildi. Şu anda hiçbir Bulgar müşteri gelmiyor. Şu anda esnaf olarak çok zor durumdayız. Kiralarımız çıkmıyor. Biz talep ediyoruz ki bu kiraları bizden almasınlar. Bu testler böyle devam ettiği sürece Bulgar gelmeyecek. Esnaf da çok zor durumda kalacak” dedi. Esnaflardan Sabriye Özdemir de, işlerin olmaması nedeniyle çoğu esnafın dükkanını bile açmadığını anlattı.

The last widow of the American Civil War dies, 81 years after her husband

The last widow of the American Civil War has died, 157 years after the conflict ended.
Helen Viola Jackson died at a nursing home in Missouri in December at the age of 101.
Ms Jackson married James Bolin in 1936 when he was 93 and she was just 17, according to a statement released by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War.
"Her father had volunteered her to stop by his house each day and assist him with chores as she headed home from school," the statement from Commander-in-Chief Brian Pierson read.
"Bolin did not believe in accepting charity and, after a period of time, asked Helen for her hand in marriage in order to provide for her future by leaving her his Union pension."
She accepted his proposal and he noted the marriage in his personal Bible.
Mr Bolin died in 1939 and Ms Jackson never remarried, though she never applied for the pension.
She insisted on retaining her maiden name and despite being married to Mr Bolin, kept living on her family farm.
She kept the marriage a secret so as not to harm her reputation.
"All a woman had in 1939 was her reputation," she told a historian in 2018.
"I didn't want them all to think that I was a young woman who had married an old man to take advantage of him."
She never revealed the marriage until 2017.
James Bolin served as a private in the 14th Missouri Cavalry during the US Civil War, on the Union side.
The militia unit was mostly involved in skirmishes and battles in Arkansas until it was disbanded in 1863.
He was 21 years old when the war ended.

A group of people checking out a "haunted house" in South Carolina got a scare of a different kind after they found a dead body in a freezer.
The group visited the abandoned house in Norway, in Orangeburg County, on the weekend, police said.
Local news outlet WSOCTV reported that one of the group, an 18-year-old man, thought he smelled "rotting meat", which he traced to a freezer on the property.
Opening it, he and his companions saw what appeared to be decomposing human remains.
Police determined the remains were human, but the age, gender, identity and cause of death remain unknown.
In a further development, the house where the body was found burned down just today - early Tuesday morning local time.
Officers said the fire was being treated as suspicious, but a cause had not been determined.

DUBAI, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Iranian army commandos and paratroopers started exercises near the mouth of the Gulf on Tuesday, the last full day of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration.
State television showed paratroopers landing behind mock enemy lines near the port of Jask on the Gulf of Oman and preparing attacks with missile launchers.
"The recent war games show to enemies the Iranian nation's will to defend its independence and territorial integrity," Revolutionary Guards commander General Hossein Salami told state TV. "Our fingers are on the trigger on behalf of the nation."
Last week, the Revolutionary Guards fired long-range ballistic missiles at mock enemy warships in the Indian Ocean and tested domestically manufactured drones in Iran's central desert region.
Last Wednesday, Iran tested short-range naval missiles in the Gulf, and exercises earlier this month featured a wide array of domestically produced drones.
Iran has one of the biggest missile programmes in the Middle East, regarding them as a deterrent and retaliatory force against the United States and other adversaries in the event of war.
Periodic confrontations have taken place between Iran's military and U.S. forces in the Gulf since 2018, when Trump abandoned Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and reinstated harsh sanctions against Tehran.
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has said the United States will rejoin the nuclear deal if Iran resumes strict compliance. (Reporting by Dubai Newsroom; Editing by Angus MacSwan)

If you had told Sophie Westlake this time last year that she would soon create a disinfectant to battle a virus causing a global pandemic, she would have "keeled over in laughter".
But 2020 was as full of surprises for Ms Westlake as for anyone.
The mother of four, who lives in the southern highlands of NSW, is behind Virosol, a household product approved by the TGA as proven to kill COVID-19.
Virosol got the TGA stamp of approval in August, and it's certified to kill 99.9 per cent of bacteria and COVID-19.
Disinfectants are an important part of addressing the risk of surface transmission of the virus. Australia's science agency, the CSIRO, has found that the SARS-Cov-2 virus can survive on surfaces like glass and mobile phone screens for up to 28 days.
When the virus hit Australia's shores at the start of 2020, Ms Westlake was particularly concerned.
Her husband, Steve, suffers from myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles.
He has had several lymph nodes removed from his chest, and infections have seen him hospitalised nine times in the past few years.
"Like many Australians we were in lockdown, and obviously I was very concerned about keeping my family safe during this pandemic," Ms Westlake told AAP.
She rang around retailers, manufacturers and suppliers to find out what disinfectants they had available for household use that were proven to kill COVID-19, but had no luck.
So Ms Westlake struck off on her own.
"I was sitting on the couch and my husband and I were talking about what to do and he just looked to me said, 'let's just do it ourselves'," she said.
She started researching what killed an enveloped virus, then spent six months working with an international laboratory with a Sydney outpost to ensure the product was effective in tackling COVID-19 and would get TGA approval.
While the team at the TGA was "terrific" to work with, "it wasn't easy, I can tell you that much," she said.
Ms Westlake's 15-year-old daughter Emilie-Rose pitched in with marketing ideas and names suggestions.
The other kids, aged between 3 and 13, helped with ideas for bottle design and colours.
Ms Westlake ensured that every element of the product and supply chain was local, including sourcing the bottles and labels.
She also wanted it to be easy for men - so took up her husband's advice that it just be a spray function, with no need to wipe.
Within the first few hours of launch, Ms Westlake old more than 8000 bottles of Virosol. It's now available online and in several stores in Moss Vale, with sales peaking when outbreaks occur through the country.
Although she has a science background and runs multiple small businesses with her husband, developing a disinfectant and engaging with the TGA was completely new for Ms Westlake. But she is modest about what she's done.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's a very Aussie thing to do. I think it's inherent in our culture. We don't faff about. If we put our mind to it, we just do it," she said.

Pandemic haunts new year as virus growth outpaces vaccines

Despite growing vaccine access, January is looking grim around the globe as the coronavirus resurges and reshapes itself from Britain to Japan to California, filling hospitals and threatening livelihoods anew as governments lock down businesses and race to find solutions.
Mexico City's hospitals hold more virus patients than they ever have. Germany reported one of its highest daily death tolls to date Tuesday, and South African undertakers are struggling to keep up with virus mortalities. Even pandemic success story Thailand is fighting an unexpected wave of infections.
And as doctors face or brace 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 virus variant that has already swept across Britain.
January is going to be "a tough one," Dr Margaret Harris, a spokeswoman for the World Health Organisation, told The Associated Press.
"This idea that seems to be 'Ah, we're all sick of it. We want to look at something else. Oh, this doesn't apply to me' ... That's got to go away. It really is all hands on deck."
While Britain rolled out a second vaccine this week and some US states are starting to give booster shots from the country's first vaccine, access to inoculations globally is sharply unequal. The supply also isn't remotely close to meeting the massive demand needed to fight a microscopic foe that has already killed over 1.85 million people.
"We're at intense pandemic in Europe, intense pandemic in the US," Harris said.
"The more you can bring the transmission down, the better chance you have of your vaccine vaccination strategy working."
England is facing a third national lockdown that will last at least six weeks, as authorities struggle to stem a surge in COVID-19 infections that is threatening to overwhelm its hospitals.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced a tough new stay-at-home order for England that takes effect at midnight Tuesday and includes shutting schools, restaurants and all nonessential shops, and won't be reviewed until at least mid-February. Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon imposed a lockdown that began Tuesday.
The two leaders said the restrictions were needed to protect the National Health Service amid the emergence of new, more contagious virus variant that has sent daily infections, hospitalisations and deaths soaring.
The NHS "is going through probably the toughest time in living memory," said Siva Anandaciva, chief analyst of the King's Fund think-tank. He said some UK emergency rooms have waiting times of 12 hours and doctors were treating people lined up in ambulances outside.
Elsewhere in Europe, Italy extended its Christmas lockdown, Spain is restricting travel and Germany's chancellor was meeting Tuesday with state governors to decide how long to extend the latest lockdown. Cyprus and France are likely to announce tougher measures Thursday, and Ukraine is closing schools and restaurants starting Friday.
In Latin America, some warn the worse is yet to come.
Mexico's capital has more virus patients than at any point in the pandemic and is flying in doctors from less hard-hit states. Its beach resorts are readying for more cases after thousands of US and European tourists visited over the holidays.
"Probably in the third week of January, we are going to see the system stressed more, that there will be more ambulatory cases and cases requiring hospitalisation," said Dr Mauricio Rodriguez of Mexico's National Autonomous University. He blamed the rise on fatigue with social distancing, mixed messages from public figures and Mexicans lowering their guard during the holidays.
Beach parties were blamed for surging cases in Argentina, notably among young people, and the government is considering new restrictions.
In South Africa, the continent's hardest-hit nation, authorities re-imposed a curfew, banned liquor sales and closed most beaches. Zimbabwe reintroduced a curfew, banned public gatherings, and indefinitely suspended the opening of schools.
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."
The pandemic is even reaching countries that seemed to have the virus under control.
Thailand is facing an unexpected surge that has infected thousands in a 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.
"We don't want to lock down the entire country because we know what the problems are, so can you all lock down yourselves?" Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha pleaded with his nation.
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.
Italy has been trying to control its latest surge with local measures. After two months of restrictions, infections have plateaued but hospitals are still under pressure, hundreds of people are still dying every day and officials fear cases will surge again due to holiday get-togethers.
And holiday worries aren't over now that 2021 has arrived.
Pope Francis abandoned an annual ritual of baptising babies in the Sistine Chapel tied to Wednesday's Epiphany holiday. Orthodox Christian countries like Russia and Greece could face more infections after they celebrate Christmas on Thursday. And China is closing schools early ahead of next month's Lunar New Year holiday, telling migrant workers not to go home and tourists to avoid Beijing.
Vaccines offer an exit, but are getting off to a slow start in many places. Some US states are struggling to secure enough shots and organise vaccinations. 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 farther behind.
Opposition politician Geert Wilders called the Dutch government "the village idiot of Europe".
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.

Die internationalen Lessingtage am Hamburger Thalia Theater finden in diesem Jahr online statt. Am Mittwochabend startet das Streaming-Festival mit der Inszenierung von "Paradies".
Anfang September hatte "Paradies" von Thomas Köck am Thalia Theater Premiere. Am Mittwoch Abend kommt das Ensemble nach längerer Pause für die Aufführung auf der Bühne wieder zusammen, denn sie wird zum Auftakt der Lessingtage live gestreamt. "Es ist ein Abend, der mit Corona gar nichts zu tun hat, der ist viel, viel früher entstanden, aber er erzählt von chinesischen Wanderarbeitern, die nach Italien gehen und er erzählt von den unglaublichen Folgen der Globalisierung", sagt Intendant Joachim Lux. Das Coronavirus habe viel mit dem globalen Dasein zu tun. "Deshalb fanden wir, passt das wie die Faust aufs Auge."
Programm 2021: Bunter Mix statt kuratiertes Programm
Anders als in den vergangenen Jahren sind die Lessingtage in diesem Jahr kein kuratiertes Themenfestival. Niemand habe das Programm nach bestimmten Kriterien zusammengestellt, sagt Nora Hertlein, die beim Thalia Theater für das internationale Programm zuständig ist. Stattdessen haben die teilnehmenden Theater selbst entschieden, welche Inszenierungen sie zeigen, die meisten davon entstanden bereits vor der Corona-Pandemie. "Ich finde es besonders schön, dass man aus dieser jetzigen Perspektive heraus auf Situationen einen Blick eröffnet und sich bewusst wird: Die menschlichen Nöte sind ja dieselben, sie werden nur verstärkt oder anders gefasst jetzt", schildert Hertlein. Ihr Favorit ist "Der Himmel ist keine Kulisse" - die Performance eines italienischen Künstlerduos, die im Odéon in Paris herausgekommen ist. Ein Abend über die Kommunikation zwischen einer Innen- und einer Außenwelt, passender gehe es kaum, findet Hertlein.
Elf Theater nehmen an den Lessingtagen teil
Elf Theater nehmen an den Lessingtagen 2021 teil. Alle gehören zum internationalen Theaternetzwerk "mitos21", einem losen Zusammenschluss europäischer Bühnen. Das Theater der Nationen aus Moskau gehört dazu, das Nationaltheater aus Turin, das Berliner Ensemble, das Toneelhuis aus Antwerpen. Dessen Leiter Guy Cassiers hat zeitgenössische Autoren gebeten, die antiken Geschichten von Antigone und dem Seher Teiresias neu zu erzählen. "Die griechische Antike wird dabei mit den Anschlägen von Paris verknüpft, was dann aber in Brüssel spielt, also Antigone in Molenbeek. Das sind so Verknüpfungen, die ich interessant finde, weil man an solchen Beispielen spürt, wie lebendig Europa sowieso ist", sagt Guy Cassiers.
"Voice of Europe": Theater in der Krise?
Was macht europäisches Theater aus? Auf diese Frage sucht der Film "Voices of Europe" Antworten, er ist für das Festival entstanden. Joachim Lux hat dafür mit Regisseurinnen und Regisseuren gesprochen, darunter die frühere Leiterin des Shakespeares Globe Theatre in London Emma Rice, die slowenische Regisseurin Mateja Koležnik, Thomas Ostermeier von der Berliner Schaubühne und Regisseur Kirill Serebrennikov. "Das Theater ist in der Krise. Das ist aber nicht Pandemie- oder Virus-bedingt. Es geht eher um eine Krise des globalen Systems. Anstatt täglich zu fragen, was wir tun können, wiederholen wir immer wieder die alten Lügen", sagt Serebrennikov im Film. "Die Kommunikation zwischen Menschen hat sich enorm verändert, aber nicht wegen der Pandemie, die fungiert nur als Trigger und macht alles schneller."
Fast alle Inszenierungen sind kostenlos
Bis Ende Januar wird jeden Abend ab 19 Uhr ein anderes Stück zu sehen sein, die fremdsprachigen mit englischen Untertiteln. Nora Hertlein hofft, dass mit den Online-Lessingtagen "die Hemmschwelle gegenüber fremdsprachigen Produktionen mit Untertiteln ein bisschen abgebaut wird". Nur für das Streaming von "Paradies" am Eröffnungsabend müsse eine Karte gekauft werden (Reguläres Ticket: 9 Euro). Alle anderen Veranstaltungen sind kostenfrei. Es ist nicht damit verbunden, sich vorher ein Ticket zu kaufen, sich schön anzuziehen und ins Theater zu gehen. Obwohl wir natürlich alle sehr ermutigen, sich schön anzuziehen und einen Termin daraus zu machen."

'Human disaster' unfolding in LA as one in five tested for COVID-19 are positive

Imagine having cardiac arrest and getting picked up by an ambulance that won't take you to a hospital.
Or having a medical emergency and languishing outside an emergency room for hours.
This is what Los Angeles County faces as the onslaught of COVID-19 devastates the community – with one in five people tested for COVID-19 in the region returning positive results.
"Hospitals are declaring internal disasters and having to open church gyms to serve as hospital units," County Supervisor Hilda Solis said.
"Our health care workers are physically and mentally exhausted and sick."
Ms Solis called the situation a "human disaster."
More than 7600 people are hospitalised with COVID-19 in just Los Angeles County.
And 21 percent of them are in intensive care units, officials said on Monday.
And every 15 minutes, one person dies from COVID-19, Los Angeles County Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer said.
Now, ambulance crews in LA County have been told not to take patients with little chance of survival to hospitals.
"This order that was issued by the county emergency medical services really is very specific to patients who suffered from a cardiac arrest and are unable to be revived in the field," Dr Jeffrey Smith, chief operating officer of Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, said.
"Those patients have a very low rate of survival each if they are transported to the hospital. So at this time, it is deemed to likely be futile."
Who gets taken to a hospital, and who doesn't
The Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Agency issued a memo last week to ambulance workers.
"Effective immediately, due to the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on EMS and 9-1-1 Receiving Hospitals, adult patients (18 years of age or older) in blunt traumatic and nontraumatic out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) shall not be transported [if] return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is not achieved in the field," the agency said.
If the patient has no signs of breathing or a pulse, EMS will try to resuscitate the patient for at least 20 minutes, the memo said.
If the patient is stabilised during that time, they would then be taken to a hospital.
But if the patient is declared dead at the scene or no pulse can be restored, paramedics will not take the patient to the hospital.
Patients may or may not get oxygen help
The COVID-19 surge has also led to a shortage of supplemental oxygen, meaning some patients treated by EMS will go without.
"Given the acute need to conserve oxygen, effective immediately, EMS should only administer supplemental oxygen to patients with oxygen saturation below 90 per cent," Los Angeles County EMS said in its memo.
EMS said an oxygen saturation of at least 90 per cent is sufficient to maintain normal circulation of blood to organs and tissues.
The oxygen shortage in the county and San Joaquin Valley prompted the formation of a "task force on oxygen" last week, Governor Gavin Newsom said.
The task force has been working with local and state partners to try to refill oxygen tanks and get them to the hospitals and facilities most in need.
Holiday gatherings and essential work fuel spread
As the nation's most populous state and home to about one in nine Americans, it would make sense that California would have the most COVID-19 cases.
But it's the magnitude of hospitalised patients and the staggering rate of increase that are causing major problems.
As of today, more than 22,000 COVID-19 patients were hospitalised statewide, according to the California Department of Public Health.
More than 27,000 people have died from COVID-19, including 368 new deaths reported just today.
"The increases in cases are likely to continue for weeks to come as a result of holiday and New Year's Eve parties and returning travellers," Ms Ferrer said.
"We're likely to experience the worst conditions in January that we've faced the entire pandemic. And that's hard to imagine."
Experts say other reasons also contribute - including pandemic fatigue, resistance to stay-at-home regulations, the huge number of essential workers and socioeconomic factors affecting poorer and minority households.
Ambulances wait for hours outside hospitals
Even when patients are lucky enough to get to a hospital, they might languish outside for hours if there's no more room.
"The Emergency Medical Services are working very hard to divert ambulances or send them to hospitals that do have potential capacity to receive those patients," Dr Smith, COO of Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, said.
"There are situations where patients are made to wait in ambulances under the care of the paramedics.
"We want to make sure that time is as short as possible so they can receive the necessary care."
For EMT Jimmy Webb, the wait can last several hours.
"We are waiting two to four hours minimum to a hospital, and now we are having to drive even further ... then wait another three hours," Mr Webb told CNN affiliate KCAL.
Local officials have urged the public not to call 911 unless "they really need to," Dr Marc Eckstein, head of the Los Angeles Fire Department EMS bureau, told CNN affiliate KABC.
"One of our biggest challenges right now is getting our ambulances out of the emergency department," he said.
"When our paramedics and EMTs transport a patient to an emergency department, there's a transfer of care that has to take place.
"Patients who are unstable or unable to be safely transferred to the waiting room or to a chair need a bed in the emergency department to be transferred to.
"And those beds are lacking right now."
And more ambulances waiting at hospitals means there are fewer ambulances to respond to other 911 calls - leading to even more delays.
The situation may get worse, Dr Eckstein said.
"I think this next four- to six-week period is going to be critical with our system being taxed," he said.

Schnee kann Autoscheiben verdecken, aber auch Verkehrsschilder. Beides kann am Ende dazu führen, dass es für Autofahrer teuer wird.
München (dpa/tmn) – Viel Schnee auf den Straßen kann Autofahrern zu schaffen machen - und im Zweifel auch ins Geld gehen. Denn wer sich nicht an einige Regeln hält, muss laut ADAC mit Bußgeldern rechnen.
Die Scheiben und Außenspiegel am Auto zum Beispiel müssen bei eisiger Witterung freigekratzt werden - nicht erlaubt ist, dabei den Motor laufen zu lassen, erläutert der Automobilclub. Wer sich nicht daran hält, riskiert ein Verwarnungsgeld in Höhe von 10 Euro.
Außerdem müssen Fahrzeuge komplett vom Schnee befreit werden, auch hier drohen sonst Bußgelder. 5 Euro kostet ein vom Schnee bedecktes Kennzeichen, bei einer nicht vollständig freigekratzten Frontscheibe sind es 10, bei einem verschneiten Fahrzeugdach sogar bis zu 80 Euro.
Was tun bei zugeschneiten Verkehrszeichen?
Sind Verkehrsschilder zugeschneit, aber anhand ihrer Form noch erkennbar, so bleiben sie gültig. Beim achteckigen Vorfahrtsschild ist das einfach. Zum Beispiel runde Zeichen dagegen können mehrere Bedeutungen haben - sind sie zugeschneit oder stark verdreckt, kann nicht erwartet werden, dass Verkehrsteilnehmer sie befolgen.
Wird ein Autofahrer geblitzt, muss er den Angaben zufolge allerdings im Nachhinein beweisen, dass ein Schild nicht zu erkennen war. Beim Einspruch gegen den Bußgeldbescheid ist dann ein Wettergutachten vorzulegen, das es kostenpflichtig beim Wetterdienst gibt.
Ortskundige wiederum, die zum Beispiel die lokal vorgeschriebenen Geschwindigkeiten kennen, müssen sich auch ohne gut lesbares Schild daran halten. Wer zum Beispiel auf seinem üblichen Weg zur Arbeit geblitzt wird, kann sich nicht auf zugeschneite Schilder berufen.
Kein Knöllchen bei zugeschneitem Parkausweis
Wird das Auto allerdings während des Einkaufs zugeschneit und sind somit korrekt hinter der Frontscheibe platzierte Parkausweise oder Parkscheiben nicht mehr sichtbar, gibt es laut ADAC kein Knöllchen.

The Sydney Test has been marred by allegations of abuse towards Indian players by the SCG crowd.
In a dramatic end to day three, senior Indian players approached the umpires as they walked from the field.
Indian quicks Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah are believed to be the two players caught up in the incident.
Teammates could be seen offering their support to Siraj, as they spoke to security and match officials while pointing towards the fine leg fence where he had been fielding.
India's coach Ravi Shastri, captain Ajinkya Rahane and vice-captain Rohit Sharma then remained out the front of their dressing room for around 20 minutes after play.
The trio spoke to several ground and ICC officials, including match referee David Boon, before Siraj and Bumrah also came out and spoke to security staff.
Security staff were also seen talking to members of the crowd where Siraj was fielding after play, but there is no suggestion the matters are linked.
The SCG capacity has been reduced to around 10,000 people per day, with minimal people sitting in each area.
The ICC said it was awaiting the match official's report before commenting on the matter.

Number of COVID-19 patients in Irish hospitals falls

DUBLIN, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The number of patients being treated for COVID-19 in Irish hospitals fell on Tuesday from the highest level recorded since the pandemic began a day earlier, as a surge in infections that threatened to overwhelm the health system began to ease.
Ireland had the fastest-growing incidence rate in Europe at the start of the year, fuelled by the relaxation of restrictions ahead of Christmas and the increasing prevalence of a new, more transmissible variant first detected in England.
That led to 2,020 patients being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 by Monday, more than double the previous peak set in the first wave of infections in April. The total fell 3% to 1,954 on Tuesday as more patients were discharged than admitted.
"It's a slight reduction. We're coping but we are under very significant strain and we really need a very, very strong, sustained effort from the public. This level of transmission is still extremely high," Paul Reid, the head of Ireland's Health Service Executive, told national broadcaster RTE.
Most non-urgent procedures in the country's hospitals were cancelled two weeks ago to divert resources to COVID-19 care with some of those empty beds turned into makeshift intensive care units (ICU) to deal with the surge.
The number of COVID-19 patients in ICU rose at a slower pace to 199 on Tuesday from 196 a day earlier. Most hospitals are at or close to critical care capacity.
Ireland's 7-day COVID-19 incidence rate per 100,000 people has fallen for eight straight days to 470 on Monday from a high of 960 on Jan. 10 after the government imposed its strictest lockdown measures since early last year.
Ireland's Chief Medical Officer, Tony Holohan, said on Monday that while a lot of progress had been made, it was not yet nearly as much as is needed to drive down such a high rate of infection. (Reporting by Padraic Halpin; Editing by Janet Lawrence)

Hamburg - Leere Impfstoff-Laster – leere Impf-Zentren.
7000 Menschen könnten jeden Tag in Messehalle A3 geimpft werden, doch auf den 8490 qm sind nur vereinzelt Personen zu sehen.
► Wie viele Menschen werden hier am Tag geimpft? Momentan 500. Das Zentrum hat von 8–20 Uhr geöffnet, pro Stunde kommen also rund 42 Menschen dran. Termine werden momentan im 10-Minuten-Takt (pro Impf-Box) vergeben. Gestern waren nur 8 von 64 Boxen im Einsatz.
Sozialbehörden-Sprecher Martin Helfrich: „Wichtig ist uns, dass wir kontinuierlich impfen, und möglichst zu keinem Zeitpunkt unsere Reserven geleert sind (…).“ So will man Schließungen, wie z. B. in Berlin, verhindern.
Bis 25. Januar sind alle Termine ausgebucht.
► Warum werden nur so wenig Menschen geimpft? Helfrich: „Es ist nur begrenzt Impfstoff verfügbar – sobald mehr geliefert wird, werden online mehr Termine zu buchen sein. Wir sind bereit, kurzfristig die Kapazität zu verzehnfachen!“
► Wie viel Impfstoff gibt’s? Bislang hat Hamburg 29 000 Dosen bekommen, hält aber die Hälfte zurück.
► Warum? Helfrich: „Für jede Impfung wird nicht nur ein Termin gemacht – sondern gleich zwei.“ Grund: Der volle Schutz tritt erst bei zwei Dosen ein, die zweite wird gleich beiseite gestellt.
Helfrich: „Nichts wäre ärgerlicher, als wenn wir den verabredeten 2. Termin nicht einhalten könnten, weil der Impfstoff nicht vorrätig ist – oder uns eine Lieferpanne dazwischen kommt, und wir den zweiten Termin verschieben müssten.“
► Wird es bald besser? Nach BILD-Informationen soll der Abstand zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Impfung bald einheitlich vier Wochen betragen (bei den Vakzinen von Biontech und Moderna).
Und: Die EU-Zulassung, um auch die „sechste Dosis“ aus den Biontech-Flaschen zu verimpfen, wird in der kommenden Woche erwartet.

Freunde, Fans und Gönner, die sich am Freitagabend zwischen 21.05 und 21.40 Uhr um ihren FC Bayern sorgten, weil dieser zwischen der 35. und der 49. Minute eine 2:0-Führung verspielte und durch drei aufeinanderfolgende Gegentreffer 2:3 in Mönchengladbach verlor, erhielten anschließend Trost von zwei diplomierten Fußball-Sachverständigen. Der eine war der Bayern-Trainer selbst, Hansi Flick. Er sagte unaufgeregt: "So eine Niederlage gehört auch für den FC Bayern mal dazu." Der andere war der Gladbach-Trainer Marco Rose. Er bilanzierte nüchtern: "Der FC Bayern bleibt der FC Bayern."
Das klang beruhigend für alle irritierten Fans, die sich fragen, was in letzter Zeit eigentlich los ist mit ihrer sonst so souveränen Lieblingsmannschaft. Erst geriet sie seit November in acht Bundesliga-Spielen nacheinander acht Mal 0:1 in Rückstand und musste sich jedes Mal zurück kämpfen, um letztlich nicht ein einziges dieser acht Spiele zu verlieren. Und dann, als der Übungsleiter Flick vor dem Gastspiel in Gladbach ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen hatte, dass man diesmal aber "von der ersten Sekunde an" hellwach sein müsse, waren die Münchner Fußballer tatsächlich von der ersten Sekunde an hellwach.
Sie lagen durch Treffer von Robert Lewandowski (20., Handelfmeter) und Leon Goretzka (26., Fernschuss) vorne - bloß, um dann in einen 15-minütigen Dämmerzustand zu verfallen, den Gladbachern drei Mal großzügig den Ball zu überlassen und ihnen drei Mal hinterherzulaufen, ohne die sich anbahnenden Gegentreffer zu verhindern.
Zwei Tore durch Jonas Hofmann auf Steilvorlage von Lars Stindl (35. und 45.) sowie einer durch Florian Neuhaus auf Quervorlage von Hofmann (49.) bedeuteten nicht nur die zweite Münchner Niederlage dieser Bundesliga-Saison, sondern auch die Liga-Gegentreffer 22 bis 24 und damit die Bestätigung dafür, dass die Balance momentan nicht ganz stimmt. "Diese Dinge sind aktuell nicht schön", sagte Flick, der sich um harschere Formulierungen sichtlich wandte, "daran müssen wir arbeiten die nächsten Wochen, diese Dinge stellen wir in den Fokus."
Die Statistik zum Spiel zeigte, dass fatalistische Urteile in der Bayern-Analyse nicht unbedingt nötig sind. 63 Prozent Ballbesitz, 15:8 Torschüsse, 8:3 Ecken und 16:3 Flanken belegen, dass die Münchner dominant spielten und sich relevante Möglichkeiten erarbeiteten. "Die ersten 30 Minuten waren unsere besten seit Langem", fand der Mittelfeldmann Goretzka gar.
Es ist noch nicht so lange her, da hätten die Bayern eine 2:0-Führung nach 26 Minuten aber nicht nur locker heimgespielt, sondern eher noch ausgebaut. Doch ihr Prinzip, "sehr hoch zu stehen", wie Gladbachs Trainer Rose erklärt, macht sie anfällig für genau jene Gegentreffer, die Stindl und Hofmann in der 35. und 45. Minute derart lehrbuchmäßig herausspielten, dass sie in der Videoanalyse der Münchner zum Standardwerk werden könnten.
Stindl beförderte den Ball beide Male strammen Schusses durch die Nahtstellen der Viererkette in den großräumigen Rücken derselben und fand dort den sprintenden Hofmann an, der seine Chancen allein vorm Welttorhüter Manuel Neuer kaltblütig ausnutzte. "Diese Zuspiele müssen dann aber auch perfekt kommen", erklärte Rose, "und auch die Laufwege müssen perfekt sein."
So perfekt und millimetergenau waren Stindls Zuspiel und Hofmanns Laufweg beim 2:2 kurz vor der Pause, dass der Video-Assistent Christian Dingert einige Zeit benötigte, um die zunächst angezeigte Abseitsstellung aufzuheben. Besser und präziser kann man es nicht machen.
"Diese Pässe waren dann auch schwer zu verteidigen", entschuldigte Angreifer Thomas Müller die Abwehrmänner Benjamin Pavard, Niklas Süle, David Alaba und Alphonso Davies, die als letzte Reihe einer hochstehenden Mannschaft am Ende halt immer die Dummen sind. Und Neuer. Aber der war bei allen drei Gegentreffern machtlos. "Viel mehr tiefe Duelle als die beiden vor den ersten beiden Gegentreffern haben wir auch gar nicht verloren", sagte Müller. Sein Kollege Goretzka beklagte allerdings nicht die verlorenen tiefen Duelle, sondern die vorangegangenen Ballverluste. "Die waren verheerend."
Vor dem 1:2 in der 35. Minute war es ein unsauberes Anspiel von Pavard auf Leroy Sané (allerdings unter hohem Druck der Gladbacher) und vor dem 2:2 in der 45. Minute an der Mittellinie ein unsauberer Kurzpass von Davies auf Joshua Kimmich, der vom ballerobernden Stindl aber auch ganz schön hart ausgebremst wurde. Die beiden prallten stumpf zusammen, Schiedsrichter Harm Osmers ließ die Szene aber laufen.
Vor dem 2:3 in der 49. Minute war es schließlich ein viel zu schwach geschossener Kurzpass von Süle auf Pavard, den die Gladbacher erobern und Neuhaus zum Torschuss aus 16 Metern in Stellung bringen konnten. "Wir machen da momentan den einen oder anderen Fehler zu viel", sagt Flick, "vielleicht benötigen wir mehr Konzentration, wie müssen auf jeden Fall die Tiefe besser absichern."
Von diesen drei Szenen abgesehen, sei es aber "eine geschlossene Mannschaftsleistung" gewesen, fand Flick. "In der zweiten Halbzeit", monierte Müller, "haben wir aus unseren Chancen dann auch zu wenig gemacht, das Spiel hätte schon auch 3:3 ausgehen können." Für Flick letztlich spielentscheidend: "Gladbach war brutal effizient." Ein Urteil, das er im Jahr 2020 meist seiner eigenen Mannschaft machen konnte. Aber momentan gilt das für die Bayern eher nicht.

Ryanair 'jab and go' ad investigated after sparking 1600 complaints

Europe's largest airline Ryanair is being investigated by the UK's Advertising Standards Agency after a "jab and go" advertising campaign promoting air travel as coronavirus vaccinations are rolled out attracted more than a thousand complaints.
The UK's advertising watchdog told CNN it had launched a formal investigation after receiving more than 1600 complaints about Ryanair's advert.
LIVE UPDATES: Virus alert over MCG cricket
The advert on the airline's website features an image of a syringe and a bottle branded "vaccine," alongside the slogans, "book summer," "vaccines are coming" and "jab & go," accompanied by promotions for budget flights.
A spokesman for the ASA told CNN in a statement that complainants objected that the advertisement "misleadingly suggests that the vaccine will have been successfully rolled out across the population by spring/summer and that travel restrictions won't apply by then."
Complainants also found the advert "offensive and irresponsible," he said, adding: "In their view, it trivialises the effect of the pandemic on individuals and society."
The ASA has launched a formal investigation into the airline, and will publish the findings "in due course," the spokesman added.
CNN has contacted Ryanair for comment.
The first vaccinations against COVID-19 are already being rolled out in some countries - including the UK and the United States - but it's likely most of the population will have to wait months before getting their jabs.
For citizens of other countries, the wait could be even longer.
The aviation industry has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, with airlines struggling to entice customers to travel amid legal restrictions on travel and people's reluctance to fly.
Numerous airlines have closed, while profit-and-loss reports for the third quarter of the year lay bare the extent to which remaining airlines have been crippled by the pandemic.
North American passenger jet arrivals dropped by 48 per cent year-on-year, according to December figures released by aviation analytics company Cirium, while Latin America was barely better, at 46 per cent down.
Europe numbers, meanwhile, have been devastated - more than 70 per cent down, year on year.
Even in Asia Pacific - which has controlled the pandemic better than other regions - arrivals are still more than 30 per cent lower now than they were this time last year.

Duisburg Geboren, aufgewachsen in der DDR, gelebt in Duisburg und Wort für Wort bewandert in der Kunst der Grenzüberschreitung: Barbara Köhler.
|
Duisburg Geboren, aufgewachsen in der DDR, gelebt in Duisburg und Wort für Wort bewandert in der Kunst der Grenzüberschreitung: Barbara Köhler.
Barbara Köhler ging an Grenzen - und über sie hinweg. Die 1959 bei Chemnitz geborene Textkünstlerin lebte in den letzten Jahrzehnten in Duisburg und viel mehr noch für ihre unermüdlich voranexperimentierende Weise, Worte in den Raum zu stellen, sie mit bildender Kunst und Klang zu vereinen. Schon in ihren Anfängen als Lyrikerin durchleuchtete Barbara Köhler in Versen und Prosagedichten die Lage des Einzelnen in der entfremdeten Massengesellschaft, das Ich und seine Sprache, ja seine sprachliche Konstruktion.
In der DDR hatte Barbara Köhler eine Ausbildung für „textile Flächenerstellung“ absolviert und auch die am Leipziger Literaturinstitut. Gleich ihr erster Gedicht-Band „Deutsches Roulette“ machte 1991 Furore, ihre Texte seien „unverwendbar für die Gegenwart und unverwundbar für die Zukunft“, hieß es treffend in einer Rezension.
In „Niemands Frau“ kulminierte Barbara Köhlers Werk
Das Fließenwollen, das Grenzüberschreiten ihrer frühen Gedichte spiegelte sich im Ineinanderlaufen von Bedeutungseinheiten, im gleichberechtigten Nebeneinander der Worte. Nach ihrem Umzug in den Westen 1994 betrieb Barbara Köhler eine beständige Erweiterung ihres Schreibbegriffs. Sie verfasste Katalogbeiträge für Kunst-Ausstellungen in Krefeld, Bochum und Berlin, schuf Textinstallationen, etwa für den Rathausturm in Witten/Ruhr oder den Düsseldorfer Landtag.
Barbara Köhler mochte sich nicht festlegen lassen auf Schwarz-Weiß-Gegensätze zwischen Mann und Frau, Subjekt und Objekt. Wie verflochten alles miteinander ist, erkundeten ihre Bücher „Blue Box“ und „Wittgensteins Nichte“, vor allem aber in dem 2007 erschienenen Band „Niemands Frau“, in dem sie mit der Reflexion des ersten Ichs in der Literatur, Homers Odysseus, ihren kritischen Blick auf die Geistesgeschichte durchbuchstabierte.
Überschreibung von Eugen Gomringers „Avenidas“
Zuletzt geriet die mit mehreren Poetik-Dozenturen geehrt Barbara Köhler ins Scheinwerferlicht, als sie nach dem Streit um Eugen Gomringers Gedicht „Avenidas“ an der Fassade der Berliner Alice-Solomon-Hochschule ein Gedicht zum Überschreiben entwarf, das versöhnlich zwinkernd auf Gomringers Gedicht anspielte.
Barbara Köhler hat lange mit einer schweren Krankheit kämpfen müssen, die sie schließlich dazu zwang, am vergangenen Freitag zum letzten Mal eine Grenze zu überschreiten. Sie wird sehr fehlen.

ADF assists Fiji with cyclone recovery

The Australian military has begun delivering supplies to remote Fijian islands and repairing critical infrastructure in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Yasa.
The ADF personnel, who set out from Brisbane on Christmas Eve, had to complete two weeks of quarantine before starting the humanitarian mission.
A small ADF construction team got to work immediately on the cyclone-hit island of Vanua Levu working in COVID-19 'bubbles'.
The ADF personnel all returned negative COVID-19 test results during their quarantine and will maintain COVID-safe protocols to ensure the protection of the Fijian people, a federal government statement said.
The Fijian government and military hope to repair school buildings in time for the start of the 2021 academic year.
ADF engineers have been rebuilding a school and have fixed the supply of clean water to the island, Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne said.
The federal government has provided $4.5 million to help Australia's island neighbour recover from the category-five cyclone.
It was one of the strongest cyclones recorded in the Pacific, and made landfall on the northern island of Vanua Levu in the week before Christmas.
It brought torrential rain and gusts up to 345km/h to the archipelago, which had been ravaged by Tropical Cyclone Harold in April.
The homes of thousands of Fijians, along with schools and other infrastructure, were damaged or destroyed.
ADF teams are now starting to clear debris and deliver critical supplies to remote islands.
Australian military helicopters are moving tonnes of building materials and humanitarian disaster-relief equipment.
"We are proud to support our Fijian Vuvale, just as they supported us during the Black Summer Bushfires last year," Defence Minister Linda Reynolds said.
"I'm encouraged by the ADF's ability to adapt and overcome challenges posed by the pandemic so we can assist our friends and neighbours, just as we did in Vanuatu and Solomon Islands in 2020."

MELBOURNE, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Organisers of the Australian Open on Tuesday ruled out reducing the men's tournament at the Grand Slam to best-of-three sets due to players' inability to train at required level amid the strict COVID-19 quarantine rules.
A total of 72 players are currently not allowed to leave their hotel rooms for 14 days after some passengers on three charter flights to Australia tested positive for COVID-19 infections.
The rest of the players, who travelled by 14 other charter flights from across the world, are allowed five hours daily outside their hotel rooms to spend on preparing for the year's first tennis major from Feb. 8-21.
Some players and pundits have said they feared the lack of training activities could make athletes vulnerable to injuries during the Grand Slam and called on organisers Tennis Australia to consider reducing the men's event from best-of-five sets.
"A few players came up with the idea to bring it down to three sets this time, which I think would make a lot of sense," Japanese player Taro Daniel told the Herald Sun.
"Because even for guys who are able to train these two weeks, it's not optimal training. You're limited to two hours a day and one hour of gym - so five sets would be pretty brutal this time.
"I have no idea if they'll be able to do it or not, but I think perhaps they should."
Australian Open chief Craig Tiley rejected the call.
"We're a Grand Slam at the end of the day and right now, three out of five sets for the men and two out of three sets for the women is the position we plan on sticking to," Tiley told the Nine Network on Tuesday.
While the majority of players are isolating in Melbourne, top players like Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, Dominic Thiem, Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep have travelled to Adelaide to quarantine and play an exhibition event.
Tiley denied accusations of preferential treatment for top players and said the organisers will try to help those affected by the positive cases on their flights.
There will be no changes to the Australian Open dates, however, but leadup events, scheduled to start from Jan. 31, could be pushed back.
"Two or three days could make a massive difference because then players could come out and have five maybe, maybe close to six days of extra preparation," Tiley told reporters. (Reporting by Sudipto Ganguly in Mumbai; editing by Christian Radnedge)

By Koh Gui Qing, Michelle Price and Pete Schroeder
WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The U.S. government is pressuring large lenders to go live this week with another round of a key federal pandemic loan program despite many unresolved issues, sparking an industry scramble to get lending platforms ready, five people familiar with the discussions said. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) reopens to large lenders on Tuesday, with many big banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co, Wells Fargo & Co and Bank of America , ready to start accepting applications, their representatives said.
But with dozens of changes to the rules and government technology system, the latest round is much more complex. Some industry executives worry that the government pressure to launch with so many unresolved issues could cause a rerun of the paperwork and technology snags that dogged last year's launch.
While the program helped millions of small businesses, last year's problems contributed toward some needy borrowers missing out while some ineligible companies and fraudsters got funds, oversight watchdogs have said.
A spokesman for the Small Business Administration (SBA), which jointly administers the PPP with the Treasury Department, said Congress expected the latest round to be launched swiftly to get cash to needy businesses as quickly as possible. "SBA, in consultation with Treasury, is working around the clock to fulfill this congressional desire ... and urges lending partners of all sizes to continue assisting eligible small businesses," he added in an emailed statement.
As of Friday, the industry was circulating an eight-page document, seen by Reuters, of questions on the rules, required documentation and technology processes.
"Everyone is trying to move really quickly ... but it's just really difficult to launch a $300 billion program in a few weeks. People are struggling," said Dan O'Malley, chief executive of Numerated, which provides PPP loan processing software to banks.
"The SBA and Treasury are pushing because of the economic need. They're just trying to do the right thing," he added.
Last week, officials contacted large lenders to ensure they would start accepting applications on Tuesday, said one of the five people, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Another person with knowledge of the discussions said officials are also anxious to get as much cash out the door as possible before Democratic President-elect Joe Biden takes over on Wednesday.
"The Treasury is pushing for the system to be opened. It's the outgoing (Trump) administration wanting to take credit for it," the person said, adding many large lenders wanted two more weeks to prepare. Spokeswomen for the Treasury did not provide comment.
Under the program, lenders make loans to be repaid by the government provided borrowers spend the cash on eligible costs.
Last year, lenders issued 5.1 million loans worth $525 billion. As the pandemic drags into a second year, Congress granted $284 billion more in funds and changed the rules on eligible borrowers and expenditures.
Richard Hunt, chief executive of the Consumer Bankers Association, said the industry had "dedicated thousands of bank employees to make the process as efficient as possible."
In addition to changes to the rules for first-time PPP loans, borrowers will be allowed a second loan provided they can show a 25% hit to their revenues. To fix technology capacity issues seen last year, the SBA has introduced a new loan application technology platform for lenders.
Combined, lenders say these amount to substantial changes. As of Friday, outstanding questions ranged from how to calculate employee numbers, which revenue documents were needed and how closely lenders must review them, to how borrower affiliates should be treated and requirements for loans to be forgiven, according to the document and sources.
The second source with knowledge of the discussions said more time to iron out the wrinkles could help mitigate "bad behavior." But the first industry source said with so much confusion over who was eligible for second-time loans, he was more worried the SBA would reject applications.
Still, some small lenders which went live last week noted they'd had longer to prepare than last year and that their experience had so far been positive. A different industry source said big banks had tested their systems over the weekend and were "cautiously optimistic" Tuesday would go smoothly.

Hamburg – Das ärgert Tausende Kunden!
Die Postbank (gehört zur Deutschen Bank) wird in diesem Jahr drei ihrer Filialen in Hamburg schließen – alle im zweiten Halbjahr. Betroffen sind laut Unternehmen die Filiale in der Blankeneser Bahnhofstraße, der Standort in Volksdorf (Im alten Dorfe 24) und die Filiale in der Schlüterstraße (Rotherbaum). Diese ist im denkmalgeschützten Gebäude des ehemaligen Fernmeldeamts zu Hause.
An den Standorten konnten Kunden bisher sowohl ihre Bankgeschäfte erledigen, als auch Pakete verschicken und abholen. Laut Postbank könnten die Filialen nicht länger wirtschaftlich betrieben werden. Wann genau sie dichtmachen, stehe noch nicht fest. Kündigungen seien nicht geplant, die Mitarbeiter sollen in anderen Filialen eingesetzt werden.
Die Deutsche Post suche bereits in der Umgebung der drei Standorte nach Partnerfilialen, die die Post- und Paketdienstleistungen übernehmen sollen.
Von der Postbank heißt es: „Unsere Filialen werden in jedem Fall erst schließen, wenn diese Partner gefunden sind.“

Confrontation between poll workers and protesters delays knife-edge run-off election results

The final vote results in two elections that are set to decide the fate of Joe Biden's presidency were delayed by confrontations between protesters and poll workers.
The Georgia run-off elections stand to decide who holds the balance of power in the Senate.
And with the races coming down to a knife's edge, a delay in Georgia's largest county is playing a major part in preventing winners being declared.
Election officials in Fulton County reported that cars blocked off poll workers from bringing absentee ballots to the vote counting centre.
Those ballots could make the difference between winning and losing for Jon Ossoff, a Democrat currently trailing by a few hundred votes to incumbent Republican David Perdue.
Fulton County, which takes in much of Atlanta, is currently voting for Mr Ossoff by a 72-28 percent margin.
And while Mr Ossoff is trailing in the current count, he is expected to win thanks to outstanding ballots in Fulton County, and other heavily Democratic areas surrounding Atlanta.
In the other Senate race, Baptist pastor Raphael Warnock has already declared victory over incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler.
Late this afternoon, CNN and Associated Press called the race for Rev. Warnock.
Rev. Warnock made his victory speech with a livestream shot from his desk in his home.
His speech was littered with quotes from the Bible, Dr Martin Luther King and his own father.
"Whether you voted for me or not, I hear you. I see you," Rev. Warnock said.
"And every day I'm in the United States Senate, I will fight for you."
He will be the first African-American ever elected to the Senate from Georgia, a deep South state with a long history of racial animus.
Rev. Warnock currently leads by less than a point, but that margin is expected to expand.

Georgia's top elections official Gabriel Sterling, a Republican, has made a sombre prediction for his party colleagues.
"From the numbers we're looking at right now, it doesn't look good for the two incumbent Republican senators," he said.
"What we have outstanding will likely be leaning Democrat."
Ms Loeffler, however, told supporters that she still has a "path to victory".
Meanwhile, outgoing president Donald Trump has treated the counting of ballots as if it is a conspiracy.
"Looks like they are setting up a big 'voter dump' against the Republican candidates. Waiting to see how many votes they need?" he tweeted.
He then retweeted several other commentators casting aspersions on the election result.
Neither Mr Ossoff or Mr Perdue are expected to speak tonight.
The dual wins for Democrats would make an enormous difference to Joe Biden's agenda, handing the party control of the Senate.
The upper chamber will now be tied 50-50, but incoming Vice President Kamala Harris will act as the tie-breaking vote.
As a consequence, Republicans lack the capacity to block his legislation unless they can get a Democrat to join them.
Mr Ossoff is a documentary filmmaker, and Rev. Warnock is the senior pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, the same position Martin Luther King Jr used to hold.
Mr Ossoff, 33, would become the youngest senator since Mr Biden was elected as a 29-year-old in 1972.
The win also cements a shift in America's electoral landscape. Along with Texas, Georgia has long been a crown jewel of the Republican Party's base.
But changing demographics, largely in rapidly growing Atlanta, have turned the red state blue.
The election results come at the end of a two-month election campaign in which more than US$500 million was spent.
At votes are counted, it appears that Democratic voters from November held steady, but thousands of Republicans stayed home.
Mr Biden won the state over Mr Trump by 12,000 votes, or 0.24 per cent.
It is a significant rebuke of Mr Trump, who campaigned in the state with a rally last night.
Speaking at a rally, Mr Trump had two key messages for supporters.
The first is that the vote was rigged and election results in Georgia can't be trusted. The second is that it was very important for Georgians to vote today.
Today's result appears to be in line with most recent polling, which showed the two Democrats ahead by a narrow margin

Stiftung Warentest: Die besten Luftreiniger gegen Aerosole

Berlin. Stiftung Warentest testete Luftreiniger darauf, wie gut sie Aerosole filtern. Eines der Ergebnisse: Man sollte oft Filter wechseln.

Berlin. Stiftung Warentest testete Luftreiniger darauf, wie gut sie Aerosole filtern. Eines der Ergebnisse: Man sollte oft Filter wechseln.
Im Frühjahr 2020 ging es den Prüfern der Stiftung Warentest vor allem um Blütenpollen. Wie gut filtern die getesteten Luftreiniger diese aus der Raumluft, um Allergikern das Leben leichter zu machen?
Nun sind die Zeiten andere und wer das Wort Luftreiniger hört, fügt im Kopf das Wort Aerosole hinzu. Diese winzigen schwebenden Partikel sind ein Hauptinfektionsweg für das Coronavirus, wenn ein Infizierter sie ausatmet, spricht oder niest.
Deswegen haben die Warentester ihre drei Testsieger im Dezember noch einmal ins Prüflabor geschickt. Die Frage: Wie gut filtern der Philips AC2889/10, der Rowenta Intense Pure Air Connect PU6080 (beide rund 350 Euro) und der Soehnle Airfresh Clean Connect 500 (250 Euro) Aerosole aus der Raumluft?
Coronavirus – Die wichtigsten News im Überblick
Stiftung Warentest untersucht Luftreiniger: So gut filtern sie Aerosole
Die Geräte mussten nun schwebende Tröpfchen mit einem Durchmesser von 0,12 Millionstel Meter – laut den Warentestern die Größe des Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 – bis 1,0 Millionstel Meter (Mikrometer) aus der Raumluft filtern.
Liefen die drei Geräte auf Maximalstufe, entfernten sie umgerechnet auf einen Raum mit 16 Quadratmetern Grundfläche und 2,5 Meter Höhe in 20 Minuten 95 Prozent (Philips und Rowenta) beziehungsweise 90 Prozent (Soehnle) der Aerosol-Partikel mit einem Durchmesser von 0,12 Mikrometer aus der Luft.

Luftreiniger: Schlechtere Ergebnisse bei älterem Filter
Doch die Ergebnisse verändern sich, wenn der Filter altert. Die Prüfer simulierten das, indem jeder der drei Luftreiniger den Rauch von 100 Zigaretten aufnehmen musste. Daraufhin filterte der Philips noch 90 Prozent der Aerosole heraus, Rowenta immerhin noch 80 Prozent. Doch das Gerät von Soehnle schaffte es nur noch, 46 Prozent der schwebenden Partikel aus der Luft zu entfernen.

Der Filter lasse so deutlich nach, dass man ihn zur Virenreduzierung weit häufiger wechseln müsste als vom Anbieter vorgesehen, schreiben die Warentester. Und das geht ins Geld. Ein neuer Filter kostet knapp 40 Euro.
Für die Luftreinigung in einem kleinen Raum eigne sich Philips Luftreiniger gut, resümiert die Stiftung Warentest, weist jedoch darauf hin, dass ein Restrisiko für eine Infektion bleibt. Und dieses erhöhe sich etwa in einem größeren Wohnzimmer, in dem sich mehrere Menschen aufhalten. Zusätzliche Maßnahmen wie Abstand, Maske und regelmäßiges Stoßlüften seien weiterhin notwendig. Für die Nutzung in einem 50-Quadratmeter-Klassenzimmer mit 30 Schülern sind die Geräte aus dem Test zu klein. (lary)

In einem Pflegeheim in Hamburg-Winterhude ist ein besonders schwerer Corona-Ausbruch bekannt geworden. Dort sind drei Viertel der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner und gut ein Viertel des Personals an Corona erkrankt.
Ende Dezember war im Seniorenhaus Matthäus die erste Infektion festgestellt worden. Inzwischen sind 88 der 118 Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner erkrankt. Zehn Senioren starben mit Covid-19. Auch gut ein Viertel der Mitarbeitenden hat sich infiziert. Letzte Tests haben jetzt keine neuen Ansteckungen mehr gezeigt, heißt es aus der Geschäftsführung.
Besuche sind derzeit nicht erlaubt
Der Geschäftsführer-Assistent Jan Hell sagte der Deutschen Presse-Agentur, er gehe davon aus, dass in dem Seniorenheim das Schlimmste überstanden sei. Besuche sind wegen der Corona-Infektionen in der Einrichtung derzeit nicht erlaubt. Wann das Gesundheitsamt das Verbot wieder aufheben wird, ist unklar. Hell geht aber davon aus, dass in etwa zwei Wochen wieder Besucher empfangen werden können. Wie das Virus sich in der Einrichtung so stark ausbreiten konnte, wird aktuell vom Gesundheitsamt und dem Universitätsklinikum Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) untersucht.
Corona-Infektionen in 13 Hamburger Heimen
Insgesamt bleibt die Lage in den Hamburger Alten- und Pflegeeinrichtungen schwierig: In mehr als 50 Einrichtungen gibt es Corona-Fälle - also in rund einem Drittel. 13 Heime zählen mehr als 20 Infizierte. Insgesamt sind mehr als 600 Bewohner betroffen.
Laut Sozialbehörde waren die mobilen Impfteams inzwischen schon in gut einem Drittel der Einrichtungen. In zwei Heimen haben Bewohnende und Pflegekräfte bereits die zweite Impfdosis erhalten. Bis Mitte Februar sollen alle Hamburger Heime "durchgeimpft" sein.

Erzurum Valisi Okay Memiş, 10 Ocak Çalışan Gazeteciler ve İdareciler Günü’nü yayınladığı masaj ile kutladı. Ülkemizde, gazetecilere sosyal ve ekonomik haklar sağlayan ve Türk basınında bir dönüm noktası olan 212 sayılı yasanın, 10 Ocak 1961 yılında kabul edilmesiyle birlikte, her yıl 10 Ocak tarihi “Çalışan Gazeteciler Günü” olarak kutlandığını belirten Vali Memiş mesajında şunları kaydetti; ‘’Bilginin her geçen gün katlanarak çoğaldığı ve teknolojinin takip edilmesi zor bir hızda geliştiği günümüz dünyasında, medya hayati bir önem taşımaktadır. Görsel ve yazılı medyanın yanında sosyal medya olarak nitelenen anlık haberleşme ve bilgi paylaşım ağlarının etkinliğinin günden güne arttığı günümüzde, gazetecilerimizin üzerine düşen sorumluluk her zamankinden daha fazladır. Milletimizin gözü, kulağı ve dili olan, vatandaşlarımızın haber alma ve bilgi edinme ihtiyacının doğru biçimde karşılanmasına vesile olan gazetecilerimiz, şüphesiz ülkemizin demokratikleşme sürecine büyük katkı sunmaktadırlar. Zor şart ve imkânlar içerisinde, milletimizi ülke ve dünya gündeminden haberdar eden gazetecilerimiz, yerli ve milli değerlerimizin benimsetilmesinde de çok önemli bir görevi üstlenmektedirler. Basın mensuplarımızın en önemli vasıfları, gücünü halktan alarak, tarafsız ve bağımsız bir şekilde haber ve yayın yapma, toplumu doğru bilgilendirme, elde ettiği haber ve bilgileri kamuoyuna objektif, ahlaki ve ilkeli bir biçimde yansıtmalarıdır. Basının başta milli konular olmak üzere, her meseleye yapıcı ve sağduyulu bir tavırla yaklaşması, millet şuurumuzun sağlamlığı ve demokrasimizin güçlenmesi açısından oldukça önem arz etmektedir. İnanıyorum ki, gazetecilerimiz sahip oldukları bu sorumluluk ile ilimizin ve ülkemizin, ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel gelişimine katkı sağlamak için, olumlu rol üstlenmeye devam edeceklerdir. Tarihin her döneminde milletin gözü, kulağı ve sesi olan basın, kamuoyunun haber alma hakkına katkıda bulunma görevini doğru, ilkeli ve tarafsız gazetecilik anlayışıyla, 15 Temmuz hain darbe girişimi gecesi milletin doğru ve hızlı bir şekilde haber almasını sağlayarak, demokrasiye, birlik ve dirliğimize sahip çıkmış olup, üzerine düşen görevi hakkıyla yerine getirmiş ve darbe girişiminin başarısız olmasında da büyük rol üstlendikleri hiçbir zaman unutulmayacaktır. Bu anlamda, ilimizde görev yapan basın mensuplarımızın üzerlerine düşen görevi ziyadesiyle yaptığına yürekten inanmaktayım. Bu vesileyle; bu çok önemli işe emek ve gönül veren tüm basın mensuplarımıza sağlık, mutluluk ve başarılarla dolu bir meslek yaşamı diliyor, ebediyete intikal eden değerli basın mensuplarını rahmetle anıyor, 10 Ocak Çalışan Gazeteciler Günü’nüzü kutluyor, en içten sevgi ve saygılarımı sunuyorum.’’ 10 Ocak İdareciler Günü Kutlama Mesajı Türk İdareciler Derneği tarafından, 1978 yılı Genel Kurulu’nda, Mülki İdare Amirleri sınıfının ilk mesleki toplantısı milat alınarak, 10 Ocak tarihi “İdareciler Günü” olarak kabul edildiğini ifade eden Vali Memiş, şunları söyledi; ‘’Mülki İdare Amirlerimiz, milletimizin huzuru ve refahı için mesai mefhumu gözetmeksizin hareket eden, devleti ve milleti temsil sıfatıyla vatandaşlarımızın canının ve malının korunması için her türlü tedbiri alan, vatandaşlarımıza efendilik değil, hizmetkârlık anlayışıyla, mesleki misyonun canlı tutulmasını sağlayan bir görev anlayışına sahip olan idarecilerdir. Ülkemizi geleceğe taşıyan projelerin başarıya ulaşmasında etkin rol oynayan, sadece yöneten değil, aynı zamanda halka hizmet etme idealini de özümseyen ve önceleyen idarecilerimiz, her zaman aynı heyecan, kararlılık ve çalışma gayretiyle vazifelerini icra etmektedirler. Ülkemiz bu değişim ve dönüşüm döneminde, insanı merkeze koyan; etkili, toplumun dinamiklerini gözeten ve değişen sorunları çözmeye yönelik çaba sarf eden, ayrım yapmaksızın herkese eşit şekilde hizmet sunan, çağdaş, katılımcı, şeffaf, hesap verebilir bir yönetim yapısını benimsemiş; emreden ve buyuran devletten, hizmet eden bir devlet anlayışına geçmiştir. Ülkemizin dört bir yanında gecesini gündüzüne katarak, milletimiz için hizmet üretme gayreti içerisinde olan, Mülki İdare Amirlerimiz, her zaman halkının derdiyle dertlenen, üzüntüsünü paylaşan, sevincine ortak olmaya çalışan ve sorunlarını çözüme kavuşturan bir yönetim anlayışı içerisindedir. Bu bağlamda; DevletMillet kaynaşmasını sağlayarak, vatandaşlarımızın her zaman yanında olmaya gayret göstermektedirler. Bu duygu ve düşüncelerle; yurdumuzun dört bir yanında milletimizin huzuru, refahı ve devletimizin bekası için üstün bir vazife bilinciyle, fedakârca çalışan tüm meslektaşlarımın, “10 Ocak İdareciler Günü ”nü kutluyor, görevlerinde başarılar diliyor, aileleriyle birlikte sağlıklı, mutlu ve huzurlu bir ömür sürmelerini temenni ediyorum.’’

WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - President-elect Joe Biden's incoming secretary of state, Antony Blinken, is set to pledge on Tuesday that he will work to revitalize damaged American diplomacy and build a united front to counter the challenges posed by Russia, China and Iran.
In a speech a day before Democrat Biden takes over from Republican Donald Trump, whose four-year tenure was marked by unilateral American action that often upset allies, Blinken will pledge to act together with them and with humility.
Blinken, 58, a veteran foreign policy hand who is a close confidant of Biden, will also explain why U.S. leadership is vital for the world, while promising a foreign policy that will deliver for the American people.
"When we´re not engaged, when we don´t lead, then one of two things happen: either some other country tries to take our place, but probably not in a way that advances our interests or values. Or no one does, and then you get chaos," Blinken will say, according to his prepared remarks to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee later on Tuesday.
"Either way, that does not serve the American people."
His comments to the U.S. Congress will come two weeks after the building representing American democracy was stormed by thousands of members of a pro-Trump mob as they attempted to overturn Biden's election victory.
The unprecedented attack stunned the world, further bruised America's standing in it and gave ammunition to U.S. adversaries globally. Aware of the damage, Blinken is set to put frequent emphasis on humility in his speech. "Humility because we have a great deal of work to do at home to enhance our standing abroad," he will say, according to his prepared remarks.
Biden will be taking on a much different world from the one he left four years ago as President Barack Obama´s vice president. China has assumed a larger global role, ranging from multilateral institutions to assisting development in Africa and Latin America. Ties between Washington and Beijing have sunk to their worst in decades, prompting Cold War comparisons.
Blinken's remarks show that the incoming administration is aware of the changed nature of the challenge.
"We´ll engage the world not as it was, but as it is. A world of rising nationalism, receding democracy, growing rivalry with China, Russia, and other authoritarian states, mounting threats to a stable and open international system, and a technological revolution that is reshaping every aspect of our lives, especially in cyberspace," Blinken will say.

Sydney Thunder paceman Brendan Doggett snared 4-22 but a Power Surge masterclass from Ashton Turner has helped lift the Perth Scorchers to 6-185 in the BBL clash at Optus Stadium.
Doggett, playing his first game of the BBL season, snared Scorchers openers Jason Roy (14 off 10 balls) and Liam Livingstone (three) in the third over of Saturday's match, before returning to take the key scalps of Josh Inglis (20) and Mitch Marsh (15).
The Scorchers posted just 67 runs from the first 10 overs, and were still a sluggish 4-101 after 14 overs when they took the two-over Power Surge.
Colin Munro (50 off 41 balls) and Turner (31 off 13) combined to take 17 runs off Adam Milne in the first over.
And it was the Turner show for the second over, with the Scorchers captain smashing 23 runs off spinner Chris Green.
Some late hitting from Jhye Richardson (20no off eight balls) and Aaron Hardie (19no) kept the momentum going once Turner and Munro departed.
Doggett was the standout bowler, with his display coming close to the 5-35 he snared while playing for the Brisbane Heat against the Scorchers in 2018.
Green had a bowling performance to forget.
Along with conceding 31 runs off his two overs, he also dropped a sharp chance off his own bowling when Munro was on just five.
Munro went on to post his third consecutive half-century, giving the Scorchers vital stability and a launching pad for their late onslaught.
The Scorchers thumped 84 runs off the final six overs, with Turner's lusty blows the highlight.

Kap Hoorn/Hamburg – Dunkle Nacht. Der Wind peitscht mit Windstärke neun übers Meer. Boris Herrmann (37) hat kein Großsegel mehr ...
Aber der Teufels-Segler kämpft: Um 2.27 Uhr – nach 57 Tagen, 13 Stunden und sieben Minuten allein auf See – hat der Hamburger bei der Einhand-Weltumseglung „Vendée Globe“ das Kap an der Spitze von Südamerika umrundet.
Viermal hat der Teufels-Segler schon die legendäre Klippe passiert. „Alle anderen Male habe ich Kap Hoorn genossen. Ich konnte es sehen. Diesmal nicht. Es war Sturm, grau. Ich falle im Rennen zurück.“
Größtes Problem: Bei 45 Knoten Wind reißt das Großsegel der „Seaexplorer“ auf 15 Zentimeter ein. „Die Gefahr bestand, dass es komplett zerreißt!“
Das hätte das Aus bedeutet. Doch Herrmann stemmt sich gegen Sturm und Schicksal. Und klebt das Segel unter Extrembedingungen: „Brechende Wellen, das Boot ist gesurft. Manchmal Wasser komplett über Deck. Es war nass und kalt.“ Erst nach zwölf Stunden ist der Kleber fest.
Herrmann fällt auf Platz 10 zurück. „Ich war 24 Stunden nur im Krisen-Modus und habe Vollgas gearbeitet. Nur drei Stunden geschlafen.“
Ziel-Ankunft ist Ende Januar in Les Sables d’Olonne (Frankreich). Dort, wo Herrmann am 8. November als einziger Deutscher in die härteste Segelregatta der Welt gestartet war.
„Diese ‚Vendée Globe‘ ist nicht nur ein Rennen. Das ist auch ein Abenteuer. Ins Ziel zu kommen, ist nicht selbstverständlich. Ich bin total dankbar, für jeden Tag auf See, an dem es weitergeht.“

Süper Lig’in 21. haftasında Çaykur Rizespor, deplasmanda karşı karşıya geldiği Medipol Başakşehir ile 1-1 berabere kaldı. Maçın ardından Çaykur Rizespor Başkanı Hasan Kartal, basın mensuplarına açıklamalarda bulundu. Müsabakayı değerlendiren Başkan Kartal, “1-0’dan sonra 1-1 olması iyi olmadı. Neticede şanssızlık kalecinin yakalayabileceği bir top, bizim çocuğa çarptı ve girdi. Beraberlik de iyi bir puan. Başakşehir de inşallah daha iyi yerlerde olur. İyi güzide bir kulübümüz ama 1-0 biz alsaydık daha iyi olurdu. Ne kadar eksiğimiz olmasına rağmen yaklaşık 10-12 tane eksiğimiz olmasına rağmen bu şartlar altında takımımız çok iyi bir başarı gösterdi. Ana kadronun yokluğunu hiç aratmadılar. Ellerinden geleni yaptılar. İnandılar, savaştılar ama galibiyet olsa daha iyi olurdu” şeklinde konuştu.
"3 PUANLA DÖNEBİLİRDİK”
Anlaşmaya vardıkları yeni teknik direktör Marius Sumudica’nın iyi bir teknik direktör olduğunun altını çizen Başkan Kartal, “İnşallah Rize’de daha iyi olduğunu gösterir. Müdahale ediyor. Bildiğim kadarıyla soyunma odasında da bazı şeyler söylüyor. Bizim Ersin hocamız da iyi. Gayet iyi yönetiyor. İnşallah o da ileride iyi bir aşamada olur ama çocukların mücadelesi hocalarımızın mücadelesi hepsini bir araya topladığın zaman başarıyı getiriyor. Aslında ben bunu başarı kabul etmiyorum. Kadromuzda birkaç tane daha iyi oyuncu olsaydı buradan 3 puanla giderdik ama maalesef 1 puanla dönüyoruz” diye konuştu.
"1-2 OYUNCUYU DAHA KADROMUZA KATABİLİRİZ"
Transferle ilgili yöneltilen soruya ise Hasan Kartal şu yanıtı verdi:“Eksiklerimizi biliyoruz. Hocamızla da görüştük. Hocamız da takımı inceledi eksiklerimizi biliyor. Bu süreçte hocanın söylemi doğrultusunda 1-2 sporcu daha belki alırız ve kadroyu sağlamlaştırırız.”
"İYİ BİR KADRO İLE ÇIKARSAK FENERBAHÇE'Yİ ZORLARIZ"
Ligin 22. haftasında oynayacakları Fenerbahçe maçı ile ilgili de konuşan Başkan Kartal, “Fenerbahçe maçına kadar sanıyorum kadro biraz daha tamamlanır. Korona çıkanlar oluyor. Remy yetişecek mi bilmiyorum. Sağlık ekibine bağlı. İyi bir kadro ile çıkarsak Fenerbahçe’yi zorlayabiliriz. İnşallah elimizdeki çocuklar düzelir” açıklamasını yaptı.

Basketball, NBA: Daniel Theis hat mit den Boston Celtics gegen die Washington Wizards um seine Nationalmannschaftskollegen Moritz Wagner und Isaac Bonga den nächsten Sieg in der nordamerikanischen Basketball-Profiliga NBA gefeiert. Boston setzte sich mit 116:107 gegen die Wizards durch. Dennis Schröder gewann mit den Los Angeles Lakers gegen die Chicago Bulls mit 117:115.
Beim Sieg der Celtics stand Theis von Beginn an auf dem Feld und steuerte in knapp 29 Spielminuten sechs Rebounds, drei Assists und zehn Punkte bei. Auf der anderen Seite kam Bonga rund sechs Minuten zum Einsatz, in dieser Zeit gelangen ihm lediglich ein Rebound und ein Assist. Teamkollege Wagner spielte rund zwölf Minuten, verwandelte einen seiner Freiwürfe und kam auf drei Rebounds und einen Assist. Schröder erzielte 17 Punkte für die Lakers, außerdem kam er auf drei Rebounds und sechs Assists. Bester Werfer im Team war mit 28 Punkten LeBron James.
Ski alpin, Sturz: Der alpine Riesenslalom beim Weltcup im Schweizerischen Adelboden ist von einem schweren Sturz des Amerikaners Tommy Ford überschatttet worden. Der 31 Jahre alte Skirennläufer war auf dem legendären Chuenisbärgli kurz vor dem Ziel schwer gestürzt und mit dem Kopf auf die eisharte Piste gekracht. Ford, mit der Startnummer vier ins Rennen gegangen, war offenbar kurzzeitig bewusstlos. Er wurde fast 20 Miuten auf der Piste versorgt und anschließend mit dem Helikopter abtransportiert. "Das hat nicht so gut ausgeschaut", sagte der zu diesem Zeitpunkt führende Schweizer Loic Meillard im ZDF. Das Rennen war knapp 30 Minuten unterbrochen. Schon am Freitag hatte sich der Norweger Lucas Braathen beim ersten Riesenslalom in Adelboden am Knie verletzt. Der 20 Jahre alte Sieger von Sölden erlitt bei einem Sturz eine Seitenbandverletzung im Knie und muss operiert werden. Für Supertalent Braathen ist die Saison beendet.
Fußball, England: Der englische Fußball-Meister FC Liverpool hat ungefährdet die vierte Runde im FA-Cup erreicht. Das Team des deutschen Trainers Jürgen Klopp siegte am Freitagabend beim durch einen Corona-Ausbruch personell gebeutelten Ligarivalen Aston Villa mit 4:1 (1:1). Sadio Mané (4./63.) mit einem Doppelpack, Georginio Wijnaldum (60.) und Mohamed Salah (65.) erzielten die Tore für den Spitzenreiter der Premier League.
Die Gastgeber, bei denen sieben U23-Spieler und vier U18-Akteure in der Startelf standen, wehrten sich tapfer und kamen durch Louie Barry (41.) zum zwischenzeitlichen 1:1. Wegen der zahlreichen Corona-Fälle bei dem Team aus Birmingham stand die Partie lange auf der Kippe. Erst am Spieltag war entschieden worden, dass die Begegnung stattfindet. Am Donnerstag hatte Villa mitgeteilt, dass eine große Anzahl von Spielern und Betreuern der Profi-Mannschaft positiv auf das Coronavirus getestet worden war. Daraufhin wurden das Training abgesagt und das Trainingszentrum "Bodymoor Heath" geschlossen. Im zweiten Drittrundenspiel des Tages gewannen die Wolverhampton Wanderers mit 1:0 (1:0) gegen Crystal Palace.
Fußball, Spanien: Das Schnee-Chaos in Spanien hat zur Absage des für Samstag (16.15 Uhr) angesetzten Primera-Division-Spiels zwischen Tabellenführer Atletico Madrid und Athletic Bilbao geführt. Das teilte La Liga am Morgen mit. Die Entscheidung sei der "außergewöhnlichen Situation durch den Sturm über einem großen Teil der iberischen Halbinsel" sowie der Schließung des Flughafens von Madrid geschuldet, wodurch Bilbao nicht in die Hauptstadt reisen konnte. Auch optimale Spielbedingungen seien angesichts der Witterung nicht zu gewährleisten. Ein neuer Spieltermin soll in den nächsten Tagen verkündet werden. Historisch heftige Schneefälle durch den Sturm "Filomena" haben in weiten Teilen des Landes zu erheblichen Behinderungen geführt. Schon am Freitagabend waren Flugzeuge mit dem Ziel Madrid umgeleitet worden. Auch das Team von Real Madrid hatte Schwierigkeiten, am Freitag zum Auswärtsspiel bei CA Osasuna (Samstag, 21.00 Uhr) anzureisen. Weil die Startbahn zeitweise gesperrt war, verzögerte sich der Abflug des spanischen Rekordmeisters Medienberichten zufolge um mehrere Stunden.
Basketball, Euroleague: Die FC Bayern sind mit einer Niederlage in die Rückrunde der Euroleague gestartet. Beim griechischen Topteam Olympiakos Piräus verlor die Mannschaft von Trainer Andrea Trinchieri am Freitag mit 82:84 (46:44) und hat nach 18 Spielen elf Siege und sieben Niederlagen auf dem Konto. Der Bundesligist ist dennoch auf Kurs K.o.-Runde. Die Bayern kamen schwer ins Spiel und lagen schnell mit 9:16 zurück. Mit Hilfe eines zwischenzeitlichen 9:0-Laufs beendeten die Gäste das erste Viertel mit einer 22:19-Führung. Auch im zweiten Durchgang hatten die Münchner meist die passende Antwort auf eine gute Phase von Olympiakos und gingen mit einem 46:44 in die Pause.
Die Griechen waren nach dem Seitenwechsel vor allem dank Kostas Sloukas die bessere Mannschaft. Der 31-Jährige bereitete der Bayern-Defensive stets Probleme und war am Ende mit insgesamt 24 Punkten Top-Scorer der Gastgeber. Das Trinchieri-Team ging mit einem 61:64-Rückstand in den Schlussdurchgang und konnte in einem spannenden vierten Viertel das Match nicht mehr drehen. Mit einem versuchten Dreipunkte-Wurf verpasste Nationalspieler Paul Zipser drei Sekunde vor dem Ende die Siegchance. Dennis Seeley überzeugte bei den Süddeutschen mit 26 Zählern. Für die Münchner geht es am Sonntag (15.00 Uhr) in der Bundesliga mit dem Spiel gegen den Aufsteiger Niners Chemnitz weiter. In der Euroleague empfangen die Bayern am 13. Januar Zenit St. Petersburg.

Mülheim. Berufsverbrecher nennt er sich selbst: Michael "Blacky" Heckhoff. Auf sein Konto gehen Gefängnisflucht und das Anzünden von Geiseln.
Aus Mülheim an der Ruhr stammt der mittlerweile 62 Jahre alte Michael Heckhoff, den sie wegen seiner schwarzen Haare kurz „Blacky“ nennen. Ein Ruhrgebietsjunge.

US police officer who shot black man Jacob Blake won't be charged

A US prosecutor says he will not file criminal charges against a white police officer who shot a black man in the back in Kenosha, Wisconsin, earlier this year, leaving him paralysed and setting off sometimes violent protests in the city.
Officer Rusten Sheskey’s shooting of Jacob Blake on August 23, captured on bystander video, turned the nation’s spotlight on Wisconsin during a summer marked by protests over police brutality and racism.
More than 250 people were arrested in the days that followed, including 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, a self-styled medic with an assault rifle who is charged in the fatal shootings of two men and the wounding of a third.
Kenosha County District Attorney Michael Graveley said Tuesday that he had informed Blake of the news before holding a news conference to announce his decision.
The Blake shooting happened three months after George Floyd died while being restrained by police officers in Minneapolis, a death that was captured on bystander video and sparked outrage and protests that spread across the United States and beyond.
The galvanised Black Lives Matter movement put a spotlight on inequitable policing and became a fault line in politics, with President Donald Trump criticising protesters and aggressively pressing a law-and-order message that he sought to capitalise on in Wisconsin and other swing states.
Kenosha, a city of 100,000 on the Wisconsin-Illinois border about 95km north of Chicago, was braced for renewed protests ahead of the charges, with concrete barricades and metal fencing surrounded the Kenosha County Courthouse and plywood protecting many businesses.
The Common Council on Monday night unanimously approved an emergency resolution giving the mayor the power to impose curfews, among other things, and Govenor Tony Evers activated 500 National Guard troops to assist.
Sheskey was among officers responding to a woman who had reported her boyfriend was not supposed to be around. Cellphone video shows Blake walking to the driver-side door of an SUV as officers follow him with guns drawn, shouting. As Blake opens the door and leans into the SUV, Sheskey grabs his shirt from behind and opens fire.
The Kenosha police union said Blake was armed with a knife, and Sheskey ordered him several times to drop it but he would not. Sheskey’s attorney, Brendan Matthews, said Sheskey fired because Blake started turning toward the officer while holding a knife.
State investigators had said only that officers saw a knife on the floor of the SUV and hadn’t said whether Blake threatened anyone with it. The officers were not equipped with body cameras.
Sheskey, 31, has been the subject of five internal investigations since he joined the Kenosha department in 2013, including three reprimands for crashing his squad car three times over three years. He has also earned 16 awards, letters or formal commendations, his personnel file shows.
The state Department of Justice investigated the shooting under a state law that requires outside agencies to investigate all officer-involved incidents. The department asked former Madison Police Chief Noble Wray, who is black, to review its findings after Graveley asked for an outside expert to review the investigation.
Rittenhouse, who was among armed people who took to Kenosha streets during the violence and said he was there to help protect businesses, faces multiple charges including intentional homicide.
Bystander video showed Rittenhouse shooting Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and wounding a third man. Rittenhouse, who is white, has claimed the three men attacked him and he fired in self-defence. Conservatives across the country have been raising money for his legal team. Rittenhouse was 17 at the time of the shooting.
Rittenhouse pleaded guilty to all charges at a hearing Tuesday.
Prosecutors dropped a sexual assault charge against Blake in November as part of deal in which he pleaded guilty to two misdemeanour counts of disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to two years’ probation.

Die Volleyballerinnen des SSC Schwerin sprühen vor Tatendrang. Ihr Spiel gegen Straubing ist nicht nur der sportliche Start ins Jahr 2021 - sondern aufgrund einer Team-Quarantäne die erste Partie seit 42 Tagen.
"Für mich hat es sich angefühlt wie die Sommerpause. Es ist ein Re-Start für uns. Aber die Spielerinnen haben gut trainiert und es juckt ihnen in den Fingern", sagte Trainer Felix Koslowski vor dem erst achten Ligaspiel der Schwerinerinnen heute Abend (19 Uhr). Zuvor stand der SSC letztmalig am 28. November gegen den VfB Suhl (3:1) in der Halle.
Zweite Quarantäne innerhalb weniger Monate
Nach der Champions-League-Rückkehr aus Florenz Anfang Dezember waren drei Spielerinnen und zwei Personen aus dem Umfeld der Mannschaft positiv auf das Corona-Virus getestet worden. Schon Ende Oktober hatte das Team nach einem positiven Fall im Mannschaftsumfeld bereits pausieren müssen. "Wir hatten ja schon Grunderfahrung. Dieses Mal haben wir die Spielerinnen mit einem Spinning Bike ausstatten können", erklärte Koslowski. Um das Gefühl für das Spielgerät nicht zu verlieren, sollten die Spielerinnen zu Hause mit bereitgestellten Bällen an den Wänden üben. "Ich hoffe, es gab da nicht zu viele Beschwerden von Nachbarn", scherzte der Trainer.
Mannschaft im Training, viele Spiele zu Jahresbeginn
Seit dem 20. Dezember trainierte die Mannschaft wieder zusammen in der Halle und bereitete sich auf ein Mammutprogramm im Januar vor - zunächst ohne Koslowski. Der Trainer musste aufgrund einer Infektion im Umfeld seiner Familie länger in Quarantäne bleiben. Und war dennoch in Gedanken nur bei den sechs anstehenden Ligaspielen und der Rückrunde in der Champions League in eigener Halle Anfang Februar: "Für uns ist es gut, dass wir so viele hochkarätige Gegner haben", gab sich Koslowski optimistisch. Und schob hinterher: "Klar, das wird eine Herausforderung." Angesichts der vergangenen Monate sind die Norddeutschen daran jedoch gewöhnt.

Thai woman sentenced to 43 years in jail for insulting monarchy

BANGKOK, Jan 19 (Reuters) - A Thai court on Tuesday sentenced a 65-year-old woman to more than 43 years in jail for sharing online posts criticizing the royal family, her lawyer said, the country's harshest ever sentence for insulting the monarchy.
Her sentence comes at a time of unprecedented youth-led demonstrations in which protest leaders have openly criticized the monarchy, risking prosecution under Thailand's strict law known as lese majeste, which carries a 15-year penalty for each violation.
Anchan Preelert pled guilty to 29 separate violations of sharing and posting clips on YouTube and Facebook between 2014 and 2015, her lawyer, Pawinee Chumsri, told Reuters.
Anchan was initially sentenced to 87 years but because she had acknowledged her violations the court halved this, the lawyer said.
"This is the highest prison sentence ever in a lese majeste case," said Pawinee, who is from the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights group.
Anchan, who could not be reached for comment, can appeal the sentence at two higher courts, Pawinee said.
Amnesty International expressed dismay over what two Thai rights groups also said was the longest ever sentence in Thailand for insulting the monarchy.
Security officials raided Anchan's house in January 2015, months after a civilian government was overthrown in a military coup.
Her case, which was initially brought before a military court, was transferred to a civilian court after a 2019 general election, which saw former junta leader Prayuth Chan-ocha stay on as prime minister.
At least 169 people were charged with lese majeste in the aftermath of the 2014 coup, according to the lawyers' rights group, with some cases taking years to process.
Authorities briefly stopped using the lese majeste law in 2018 but police started to invoke it again late last year after leaders of the protests, which drew tens of thousands of people, began openly criticizing the monarchy.
Since November, more than 40 youth activists have been charged under the law. None of those cases has been brought to trial.
On Monday, another man arrested in 2014 was sentenced to more than four years in jail after publishing articles and poems online that the court said contained falsehoods about the monarchy. (Reporting by Panu Wongcha-um and Panarat Thepgumpanat Editing by Ed Davies, Robert Birsel)

Turner goes bang as Scorchers post 6-185

Sydney Thunder paceman Brendan Doggett snared 4-22 but a Power Surge masterclass from Ashton Turner has helped lift the Perth Scorchers to 6-185 in the BBL clash at Optus Stadium.
Doggett, playing his first game of the BBL season, snared Scorchers openers Jason Roy (14 off 10 balls) and Liam Livingstone (three) in the third over of Saturday's match, before returning to take the key scalps of Josh Inglis (20) and Mitch Marsh (15).
The Scorchers posted just 67 runs from the first 10 overs, and were still a sluggish 4-101 after 14 overs when they took the two-over Power Surge.
Colin Munro (50 off 41 balls) and Turner (31 off 13) combined to take 17 runs off Adam Milne in the first over.
And it was the Turner show for the second over, with the Scorchers captain smashing 23 runs off spinner Chris Green.
Some late hitting from Jhye Richardson (20no off eight balls) and Aaron Hardie (19no) kept the momentum going once Turner and Munro departed.
Doggett was the standout bowler, with his display coming close to the 5-35 he snared while playing for the Brisbane Heat against the Scorchers in 2018.
Green had a bowling performance to forget.
Along with conceding 31 runs off his two overs, he also dropped a sharp chance off his own bowling when Munro was on just five.
Munro went on to post his third consecutive half-century, giving the Scorchers vital stability and a launching pad for their late onslaught.
The Scorchers thumped 84 runs off the final six overs, with Turner's lusty blows the highlight.

Düsseldorf Schulministerin Gebauer will keine Zusagen für Februar machen. Ihre Partei diskutiert bereits eine Neuaufteilung der Sommerferien.

Düsseldorf Schulministerin Gebauer will keine Zusagen für Februar machen. Ihre Partei diskutiert bereits eine Neuaufteilung der Sommerferien.
Nordrhein-Westfalens Schulministerin Yvonne Gebauer (FDP) kann angesichts der ungewissen Corona-Lage keine Zusagen für den weiteren Verlauf des Schuljahres 2020/21 machen. „Ich schließe Stand heute nichts aus. Kann ich auch nicht“, sagte Gebauer am Montag im Schulausschuss des Landtags. Man müsse schauen, „welches Modell wir ab 1. Februar installieren“.
In NRW lagen zum Wochenbeginn weiterhin sieben Städte und Kreise über der Hotspot-Schwelle von 200 Neuinfektionen pro Woche und 100.000 Einwohner, darunter Gelsenkirchen, Bottrop und Recklinghausen. Die umstrittene Einschränkung des Bewegungsradius auf 15 Kilometer zum eigenen Wohnort findet in NRW jedoch bislang keine Anwendung.
Gebauer machte deutlich, dass sie sich eine möglichst schnelle Rückkehr zum Präsenzunterricht wünsche und es „so in seiner jetzigen Form nicht mehr gehen kann“. Seit Montag müssen rund 2,5 Millionen Schüler in NRW in der Regel zuhause lernen. Bis zum 31. Januar wird in allen Schulformen nur sogenannter Distanzunterricht erteilt.
Schulserver an Tag eins des Lockdowns angeblich überlastet
Dabei erhalten die Kinder Aufgaben oder werden per Video-Konferenz live unterrichtet. Gebauer betonte, dass auch Kinder in der Schul-Notbetreuung „keine weiteren Unterrichtsinhalte über den Distanzunterricht hinaus“ erhielten. Das war bei der Aussetzung der Präsenzpflicht kurz vor Weihnachten noch anders gehalten worden. Damals wurden Kinder, deren Eltern das wollten, auch vom Lehrer im Klassenraum unterrichtet.
Die Schulministerin räumte ein, dass zahlreiche praktische Fragen bis hin zur Erlaubnis von Klassenfahrten nach Ostern und der Möglichkeit von Abschlussfeiern im Sommer noch zu klären seien. „Es gibt keinerlei Vorkehrungen für die Zeit nach dem 31. Januar“, kritisierte SPD-Fraktionsvize Jochen Ott. Er beklagte, dass am ersten Tag des landesweiten Distanzunterrichts Lernplattformen abgestürzt und Schulserver überlastet gewesen seien. Dies sei „symptomatisch für den Zustand der Schulpolitik dieser Landesregierung“, so Ott. Gebauer erklärte dagegen, ihr seien zunächst keine technischen Probleme bekannt geworden.
FDP-Nachwuchs will Sommerferien neu aufteilen
Auch die Landeschülervertretung forderte eine klare Perspektive. Eine Wiederaufnahme des Präsenzbetriebes müsse „schrittweise erfolgen und dem Infektionsgeschehen dynamisch angepasst werden“. Schulklassen sollten aufgeteilt und in halben Gruppen im Zwei-Tagesrhythmus unterrichtet werden. So könnten alle Jahrgangsstufen zwar nur jeden zweiten Tag die Schule besuchen, dafür jedoch in festen Gruppen unterrichtet werden.
Die Jungen Liberalen NRW (JuLi) als Nachwuchsorganisation von Gebauers FDP forderten derweil die frühzeitige Aufteilung der Sommerferien. Die vorgesehenen sechs Wochen sollen nach den JuLi-Pänen im Sommer auf 14 Tage gekürzt werden, um die Länge der Winterferien zum Jahresende zu verdoppeln und weitere zwei Wochen jeder Schule als frei verfügbare Option zu gewähren. „In der aktuell kalten Zeit erleben wir enorme Infektionszahlen, die auch den für die Chancengerechtigkeit so wichtigen Präsenzunterricht schwierig werden lassen. Daher ist eine Aufteilung der Sommerferien nur konsequent“, so JuLi-Landeschef Alexander Steffen.

Saudi overtures to wary Biden team driven by worries over Iran,...

By Aziz El Yaakoubi and Marwa Rashad
RIYADH/LONDON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - After months out of the global spotlight, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has swept back to centre stage with eye-catching diplomatic and economic moves aimed at showing the new U.S. president he is a valuable partner who can get things done.
Within the span of a few weeks, the kingdom announced an Arab deal to reconcile with Qatar, voluntary cuts to Saudi crude output to help stabilise markets and new momentum on an economic diversification plan that stumbled due to political controversy, low oil prices and COVID-19.
Whether behind the scenes or front and centre chairing a Gulf summit for the first time, the brazen young prince, known as MbS, is moving to present an image as a reliable statesman and set a pragmatic tone with a less accommodating Biden administration, especially on foe Iran, three foreign diplomats said.
Prince Mohammed's initial image as a bold reformer was battered by the 2018 murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi at the hands of Saudi agents seen as close to MbS, and moves to crush dissent and sideline royal rivals. He denies ordering Khashoggi's killing while saying he ultimately bore responsibility as it happened under his watch.
The kingdom's de facto ruler knows "a new era has started" without the buffer granted by President Donald Trump and that Riyadh needs to make some concessions on contentious issues like human rights in order to push for regional priorities like the Iran nuclear accord, a Western diplomat in the region said.
"They don't want the 2015 deal back on the table," the diplomat said, adding that recent positive gestures by Riyadh were in some way "all related to the change in Washington".
He said that included recent sentences handed by Saudi courts for a prominent women's rights activist and a U.S.-Saudi physician, with the convictions signalling Riyadh would brook no dissent while reduced jail terms served as a nod to Washington.
President-elect Joe Biden, who is expected to re-engage with Iran, has said he would take a firmer stand on Saudi's human rights record and the devastating Yemen war.
"For the Saudis, the calculus is clear. They have to adapt to a new world ... and present themselves in a more positive light ahead of Biden taking office," said Shadi Hamid from Washington-based Brookings Institution.
RULES OF THE GAME
Another foreign diplomat said Riyadh's "nervousness" over Biden's Iran policy was one reason it lobbied the Trump administration to blacklist Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group, which has launched cross-border attacks on Saudi Arabia.
Prince Mohammed was keen to "impose some rules for the game" regarding Iran and Yemen while also presenting Saudi Arabia as a "high profile member of the international community and economy" that should be defended, the diplomat said.
Warning the Houthi designation as a foreign terrorist group may push Yemen into a large-scale famine, U.N. officials have urged Biden to revoke the decision that takes effect on Jan. 19.
Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies including the United Arab Emirates, concerned about Iran's ballistic missiles and regional network of proxies, supported Trump's maximum pressure campaign on Tehran and basked in his decision in 2018 to quit "a flawed" international nuclear deal and reimpose sanctions on Iran.
They have stressed that this time around they should be included in any potential negotiations between the Biden administration and Iran on a new nuclear deal to ensure it addresses Iran's missile capabilities and "malign activity".
The Sunni Muslim kingdom has been locked in a decades long rivalry with Shi'ite Iran for regional influence that has shaped conflicts in Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
In 2019, Saudi Arabia was shaken by missile and drone attacks on its energy installations. Trump boosted defence support for the kingdom, a major U.S. arms buyer, after the strike, which Riyadh and Washington blame on Iran, something Tehran denies.
CURRYING FAVOUR
Security, vital for regional economic prospects, is also a key consideration for other Gulf leaders who have also been preparing for a Biden presidency by positioning themselves as a moderating force in a turbulent region and hedging their bets.
The United Arab Emirates, wary of Iran and the perceived threat posed by Islamist movements, struck a U.S.-brokered deal to establish ties with Israel that created a new anti-Iran dynamic and opened the door for Abu Dhabi to new U.S. arms and bipartisan goodwill. Bahrain followed suit.
Although the UAE's divisions with Qatar run deep, it fell in line with a U.S. and Saudi push to end a more than three-year row and restore ties severed over issues including Qatar's ties with Iran and Turkey and its support of the Muslim Brotherhood.
"The Qatar deal is a way to have the Gulf states aligned with Israel to oppose the nuclear deal in particular and Iran in general," the Western diplomat said.
Qatar's foreign minister recently said it was the right time for talks with Iran and that Doha, home to the region's largest U.S. military base, could facilitate discussions.
DISTRACTIONS
Saudi Arabia also wants to make up for lost time, and money, a fourth diplomat said, as coronavirus frustrated plans in 2020 to refocus attention on MbS' ambitious diversification drive after some foreign investors were spooked by the Khashoggi murder and a secretive anti-corruption purge.
MbS made a rare TV appearance on Jan 13. to unveil a zero-carbon city as the first major construction project for NEOM, the $500 billion flagship business zone that has seen little progress since it was announced to fanfare in 2017.
A few days later he was shown alone in his private desert camp announcing investment opportunities worth $6 trillion in a virtual speech at the World Economic Forum.
"Saudi Arabia faces an enormous challenge in transforming its domestic economy and after Covid-19 the path is much more perilous. They need money and partners and they need global engagement," said Kristin Smith Diwan, senior resident scholar at the Washington-based Arab Gulf States Institute.
