Dozens of Hong Kong pro-democracy figures arrested: reports

About 50 Hong Kong pro-democracy figures were arrested by police under a national security law, following their involvement in an unofficial primary election last year held to increase their chances of controlling the legislature, according to local media reports.
Those arrested included former lawmakers and pro-democracy activists, and the group were arrested on suspicion of subversion under the city’s national security law, according to reports by local newspaper South China Morning Post and online news platform Now News.
At least seven members of Hong Kong’s Democratic Party — the city’s largest opposition party — were arrested, including former party chairman Wu Chi-wai. Former lawmakers, including Helena Wong, Lam Cheuk-ting, and James To, were also arrested, according to a post on the party’s Facebook page.
Benny Tai, a key figure in Hong Kong's 2014 Occupy Central protests and a former law professor, was also arrested by the police, according to local media reports. Tai was one of the main organisers of the primaries.
The home of Joshua Wong, a prominent pro-democracy activist who is currently serving a 13 1/2-month prison sentence for organising and participating in an unauthorised protest last year, was also raided this morning, according to a tweet posted from Wong's account.
Pro-democracy activists and lawmakers had last July held an unofficial primary election to figure out which candidates they should field in a now-postponed legislative election that would boost their chances of gaining a majority of seats in legislature. Gaining a majority would allow the pro-democracy camp to vote against bills they deemed to be pro-Beijing, block budgets and paralyse the government.
More than 600,000 Hong Kongers voted in the primaries, although pro-Beijing lawmakers and politicians criticised the event and warned that it could breach the security law, which was imposed on the city by Beijing in June to quash dissent following months of anti-government protests.
Beijing also blasted the primaries as “illegal," calling it a “serious provocation” of Hong Kong’s current electoral system.
Following the handover of Hong Kong to China by the British in 1997, the semi-autonomous Chinese city has operated on a “one country, two systems” framework that affords it freedoms not found on the mainland. In recent years, Beijing has asserted more control over the city, drawing criticism that Hong Kong’s freedoms were under attack.
The legislative elections, originally slated to be held in September, were later postponed for a year after Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam claimed that holding elections would be a risk to public health given the coronavirus pandemic. The pro-democracy camp denounced the postponement as unconstitutional.
In November, all of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy lawmakers resigned en masse after Beijing passed a resolution that led to the disqualification of four of its camp, leaving a largely pro-Beijing legislature.

Bei einem Schlag gegen eine international agierende Schleuserbande haben Fahnder bundesweit sieben Verdächtige festgenommen. In Osnabrück, Twistringen und Salzgitter kam je eine Person in Haft.
Bei den in Niedersachsen gefassten mutmaßlichen Schleusern handelt es sich laut der zuständigen Staatsanwaltschaft in Kempten (Allgäu) um Fahrer und Berater des Kopfes der Bande. Gegen die sieben Personen lagen Haftbefehle vor. Bei dem bundesweiten Einsatz am frühen Dienstagmorgen durchsuchten mehr als 400 Beamte elf Objekte in Niedersachsen, Hessen, Nordrhein-Westfalen und Berlin. Dabei stellten sie umfangreiches Beweismittel sicher, darunter Mobiltelefone.
140 Menschen über "Balkanroute" geschleust
Der Bande wird vorgeworfen, seit April 2019 140 Menschen gegen hohe Geldbeträge über die sogenannte Balkanroute geschleust zu haben. Dabei sollen die Täter "überaus planvoll und sehr professionell" vorgegangen sein. Sie hätten sogenannte Scouts vorgeschickt, die die Autobahnen auf mögliche Polizeikontrollen hin überprüft haben sollen. Der Bandenchef habe die Menschen-Transporte per Mobiltelefon aus der Ferne überwacht. Die Ermittlungen richten sich demnach bislang gegen 19 Beschuldigte im Alter zwischen 21 und 44 Jahren.
Razzia ging internationale Ermittlungs-Kooperation voraus
Die Bundespolizei kam den Schleusern nach Angaben der Ermittlungsbehörden im August 2019 nach der Festnahme eines Fahrers der Bande bei Füssen in Bayern auf die Schliche. Weitere Ermittlungen hätten im Dezember zur Festnahme des Bandenchefs und nun zur Razzia geführt. Wie die Staatsanwaltschaft mitteilte, hätten im Vorfeld der Aktion Ermittler aus Deutschland, Österreich, Ungarn, Tschechien, der Slowakei, den Niederlanden, Belgien und Fahnder von Europol kooperiert. Federführend sei die sechsköpfige Spezialabteilung der Staatsanwaltschaft Kempten zur Bekämpfung der internationalen Schleuserkriminalität, das sogenannte Traunsteiner Modell. Die Spezialabteilung zur Bekämpfung von internationaler Schleuserkriminalität, Drogen- und Waffenhandel arbeitet eng mit ausländischen Justiz- und Polizeibehörden zusammen.

WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Central Washington is an armed fortress, fenced off with razor wire and surrounded by 25,000 National Guard troops ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration on Wednesday, a stark contrast to previous inaugurations, when the United States capital erupted in days of celebration.
The COVID-19 pandemic had already canceled the inaugural balls. Now the National Mall is closed to the public due to threats of violence from groups who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Almost none of the public will witness firsthand the transition of power, souring the mood of Washingtonians.
"It´s like a ghost town but with soldiers," said Dana O´Connor, who walked with her husband past concrete barriers near the White House on Sunday. "It´s eerie. It feels super unnatural."
Previous inaugurations sometimes drew over a million spectators to the National Mall, to watch the ceremony from giant television screens and the new president parading on foot from the Capitol to the White House. Balls and parties in hotel ballrooms and convention halls across the city feted guests with champagne and music from A-list stars.
Presidential inaugurations are normally high-security events, with metal detectors at key entry points, restricted ID-only zones and National Guard supplementing local and federal law enforcement. But the level of precautions this year is unprecedented.
Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said on Sunday that law enforcement officials had no choice but to ramp up security after the deadly Capitol attack, where "so-called patriots would attempt to overthrow their government and kill police officers."
"We don't want to see fences. We definitely don't want to see armed troops on our streets. But we do have to take a different posture," Bowser said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The city will see little of the $107 million increase in tax revenue that an inauguration week normally brings, the Downtown DC Business Improvement District estimates.
SWORN IN IN A GREEN ZONE
For a nation that has prided itself as a beacon for democracy around the world, the peaceful transition of power looks anything but, said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.
"The world will see Biden sworn in, in the middle of a military camp that's indistinguishable from the Green Zone," Sabato said, referring to the fortress-like area of central Baghdad set up after the Iraq War.
Sabato has attended every inauguration since Richard Nixon's second one in 1973, and Ronald Reagan's 1985 swearing-in that was held indoors because of the bitter cold. But he won't attend this one.
The Secret Service has incorporated the term "Green Zone" into its inauguration security maps, and District of Columbia residents have started using the moniker for the vast restricted area running from two blocks east of the Capitol to the Potomac River west of the Lincoln Memorial.
The district, one of the most Democratic jurisdictions in the United States, voted 92% for Biden, making the current situation even more painful for many residents.
Amy Littleton, a 30-year-old political consultant who lives about 10 blocks north of the White House, said "it just feels really unfair" to be excluded from Biden's inauguration.
"How dare these people try to steal our joy. We never did this - as much as we disagreed with the last (presidential) election, no one ever threatened people´s security and safety." (Reporting by David Lawder, Jonathan Landay and Katy Daigle; editing by Jonathan Oatis)

Trump hinterlässt nach vier Jahren Präsidentschaft Chaos bei den Republikanern. Warum sich die Partei jetzt neu positionieren muss.

Trump hinterlässt nach vier Jahren Präsidentschaft Chaos bei den Republikanern. Warum sich die Partei jetzt neu positionieren muss.
Amerikas Partei der Demokraten fährt nun das ganz große politische Geschütz auf: Noch-Präsident Donald Trump soll entweder noch vor dem 20. Januar aus dem Weißen Haus katapultiert oder für immer von Bundesämtern ausgeschlossen werden. Der juristische Instrumentenkasten bietet dafür entweder den Zusatzartikel 25 der US-Verfassung oder ein Impeachment-Verfahren. Für beides sind die Hürden extrem hoch. Es wäre eine Zweidrittel-Mehrheit im Kongress nötig – ein eher unwahrscheinliches Szenario.
Aber selbst wenn es gelänge, Trump von der politischen Bildfläche verschwinden zu lassen, stellt sich die Frage: Was passiert mit der Partei des Ex-Präsidenten, den Republikanern? Niemals in der Geschichte Amerikas hat sich eine politische Gruppierung derart in die Gefangenschaft eines Regierungschefs begeben wie die „Grand Old Party“ unter Trump.
Lesen Sie alle Nachrichten zur US-Wahl im News-Blog.
USA: Republikaner duckten sich vor Trumps Macht
Führende Vertreter der Republikaner haben eine heuchlerische Kehrtwende vollzogen, dass einem schwindelig wird. Senator Ted Cruz aus Texas hatte Trump vor dessen Wahl noch als „pathologischen Lügner“ und „völlig unmoralisch“ bezeichnet. Sein Kollege Lindsey Graham aus South Carolina hängte ihm das Etikett „rassenhetzerischer, fremdenfeindlicher, religiöser Fanatiker“ an. Und Marco Rubio aus Florida sah in Trump die „vulgärste Person, die jemals nach dem Präsidentenamt gestrebt hat“.
Mehr zum Thema USA:
Alle drei Politiker hatten in grellen Farben vor einer Katastrophe im Weißen Haus gewarnt. Und alle drei entpuppten sich später als Steigbügelhalter des Präsidenten. Je selbstherrlicher dieser im Amt auftrat, desto duckmäuserischer verhielten sie sich. Zu groß war die Angst, von Trump an den digitalen Pranger gestellt zu werden. Fast die ganze Partei zuckte vor der Macht des Präsidenten zurück, der blitzschnell Millionen seiner Anhänger mobilisieren und damit Wahlen beeinflussen konnte.
Die Republikaner brauchen eine Neu-Positionierung
Die verbalen Distanzierungen, mit denen Cruz, Graham und andere von Trump nun abrücken, sind wenig glaubwürdig. Was die Republikaner jetzt brauchen, ist eine völlige Neu-Positionierung. Das hat zunächst mit Stil zu tun: Die Debatte muss an die Stelle von Hass treten, Pluralismus an die Stelle von Autokratie, Fakten an die Stelle von Verschwörungstheorien. Und es geht um Inhalte. Mit ihrem Profil - stabile Haushaltspolitik, Wirtschaftswachstum, konservative Werte, Schulterschluss mit Verbündeten - haben die Republikaner in der Vergangenheit Wahlen gewonnen und sich international Respekt erworben.
Mit einer derartigen Kehrtwende könnten die Partei für eine Katharsis - eine politische Reinigung - sorgen, die das Land jetzt so dringend braucht. Die Führung müsste deutlich machen, dass sie mit dem Trump-System nichts mehr zu tun hat. Das hat den Preis, sich von rechtsextremistischen Sektierern und Verschwörungstheoretikern zu trennen, die möglicherweise eine eigene Partei gründen wollen. Diese Stimmen würden die Republikaner verlieren. Dafür könnten sie mehr die Mitte umwerben, wo Wahlen entschieden werden.
Die wichtigste Aufgabe aber ist eine tiefschürfende Ursachenforschung: Warum haben mehr als 74 Millionen Amerikaner ihr Kreuz bei Trump gemacht? Warum konnte der Milliardär aus New York die Vielzahl der „Vergessenen“ und „Abgehängten“, die im Zuge der Globalisierung ihre Jobs verloren haben, auf seinen Feldzug gegen das Washingtoner Establishment einschwören? Wie kann man sie wieder einfangen? Das sind die neuen Schicksalsfragen für die Republikaner, auf die aber auch die Demokraten eine Antwort haben sollten.

WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Avril Haines, a former White House and CIA official whom President-elect Joe Biden chose for the top U.S. intelligence job, will tell Congress on Tuesday that she will continue tough U.S. scrutiny of China and press spy agencies to help resolve the COVID-19 crisis, a Biden transition official said.
In testimony before a Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing, Haines, Biden's nominee for Director of National Intelligence, will declare that U.S. agencies must continue to collect intelligence to "support long-term bipartisan efforts to out-compete China - gaining and sharing insight into China´s intentions and capabilities, while also supporting more immediate efforts to counter Beijing´s unfair, illegal, aggressive and coercive actions, as well as its human rights violations," the transition official said.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Haines also will tell senators that one of her missions would be to ensure that spy agencies' "unique capabilities" are used to counter the worldwide COVID-19 crisis, "while also addressing the long-term challenge of future biological crises ... positioning us to detect future outbreaks before they become pandemics."
She is also going to say that the United States must strengthen cybersecurity, protect critical American infrastructure and use technology to improve intelligence, the official familiar with her testimony said.
Haines will also indirectly distance Biden's incoming administration from some intelligence agency pronouncements by the outgoing Trump administration, telling senators, "To safeguard the integrity of our Intelligence Community, the DNI must insist, that, when it comes to intelligence, there is simply no place for politics - ever."
A Democratic congressional official said that Haines' confirmation process was expected to move rapidly, though some Democratic activists have raised questions about her role helping to manage the CIA's response to investigations into the agency's use of harsh interrogation techniques.

Erfurt – In Landkreisen mit einer 7-Tages-Inzidenz von über 200 Neuinfektionen pro 100 000 Einwohnern soll der Bewegungsradius der Menschen auf 15 Kilometer um den Wohnort beschränkt werden – darauf einigten sich Dienstag Bund und Länder.
Doch für die Thüringer soll es zunächst trotzdem keine Verpflichtungen geben, ihren Bewegungsradius auf 15 Kilometer einzuschränken. Die Mobilitätsbeschränkung werde jedoch „in den Katalog der Empfehlungen für die Kreise aufgenommen“, sagte Ramelow (64, Linke).
Sie könnte damit von den Landkreisen mit einer Sieben-Tages-Inzidenz von mehr als 200 pro 100 000 Einwohner angeordnet werden. In Thüringen überschreiten derzeit 14 von 17 Kreisen und zwei der sechs kreisfreien Städte die 200er-Marke.
Ramelow hatte die 15-Kilometer-Regel nach sächsischem Vorbild auch als Reaktion auf einen Ansturm auf die Thüringer Wintersportorte bereits am Sonntag vorgeschlagen. Minister der SPD und der Grünen hatten dagegen jedoch Bedenken angemeldet.
„Wichtig war uns, dass die 15-Kilometer-Regelung, die uns nicht als sinnvolle Maßnahme erscheint, nur als Empfehlung formuliert ist“, sagte Umweltministerin Anja Siegesmund (43) nach der Kabinettssitzung für die Grünen. Sie würde angesichts der derzeitigen Infektionswerte zu einer Ungleichbehandlung der Menschen in Stadt und Land führen.
Allerdings sollen die Zufahrt zu den Wintersportorten eingeschränkt oder unterbunden werden können, um große Ansammlungen von Tagestouristen zu verhindern.
Das Kabinett einigte sich auch darauf, die Winterferien von Februar auf die letzte Januarwoche vorziehen. Statt wie geplant am 8. Februar soll die Ferienwoche bereits am 25. Januar beginnen. Damit fallen die Ferien in die Zeit des verlängerten Lockdowns, in dem es keinen Präsenzunterricht geben soll.
Der eingeschränkte Regelbetrieb in Kindergärten und Schulen soll wie angekündigt am 1. Februar wieder starten, sagte Ramelow. Eine Sonderreglung ist für Schüler der Klassenstufen vorgesehen, in denen in diesem Jahr Abschlussprüfungen anstehen.
Sie können nach Corona-Tests im Januar in die Schulen. Die Notbetreuung für Kita-Kinder und Schüler bis zur 6. Klasse soll etwas stärker eingeschränkt werden als bisher.

Michael Apted ist tot - Nachruf auf den britischen Regisseur

Warum genau die James-Bond-Produzenten ausgerechnet ihn anriefen, um ins bombastische 007-Franchise einzusteigen, sei ihm selbst nie ganz klar geworden, sagte der Regisseur Michael Apted. Was natürlich klassisches britisches Understatement ist: Den Bond-Machern blieb eigentlich fast nichts anderes übrig.
Denn ihr Geheimagent war mehr schlecht als recht durch die überdrehten Neunzigerjahre gestolpert, und um der Reihe im Rahmen ihrer Möglichkeiten zumindest wieder einen Hauch Realität einzuimpfen, war kaum einer so geeignet wie er.
Sein 007-Film "Die Welt ist nicht genug", 1999, war die am wenigsten verkrampfte Folge mit Pierce Brosnan, ein eleganter Spagat zwischen dem Erbe der alten Bondfilme und der Erkenntnis, dass die Welt der Jahrtausendwende eine radikal andere war als die des Kalten Krieges.
Michael Apted, geboren 1941 in der englischen Kleinstadt Aylesbury, brachte in fiktionale Großproduktionen wie Bond immer die Akribie und Neugier eines Dokumentarfilmers ein. Er hatte Recht in Cambridge studiert und als Rechercheur beim britischen Fernsehen sein journalistisches Handwerk gelernt, bevor er ins Filmgeschäft einstieg.
Für das legendäre Dokumentarfilmprojekt "Up", in dem der Regisseur Paul Almond das Leben einer Gruppe britischer Kinder porträtierte, wählte Apted 1964 in langer Suche die Protagonisten aus. In den Jahrzehnten danach baute er die Reihe als Regisseur weiter aus und traf die Kids von damals über fünfzig Jahre lang immer wieder, um aus den Irrungen und Wirrungen ihres Lebens zu erzählen.
Die Welt der Blockbuster fand Apted immer etwas bizarr
Die "Up"-Reihe war für ihn sein wichtigstes Werk: "Es gibt kaum Filme, die die Geduld und die Ausdauer und die Zeit haben, das Drama des ganz normalen Lebens einzufangen, also das Drama, durch das wir alle durchmüssen."
Weil Apted es durch diese Arbeit gewohnt war, mit acht Mitarbeitern auszukommen, fand er die Welt der Blockbuster, "wo man sich plötzlich mit 1000 Leuten rumschlagen muss" immer ein bisschen bizarr: "Ich war es nicht gewöhnt, im November entscheiden zu müssen, was ich gerne nächsten Juni drehen möchte, aber so laufen diese großen Produktionen nun mal."
Neben Bond drehte er eine Kinofolge der "Chroniken von Narnia", arbeitete für Netflix ("Bloodline") und HBO ("Rom"). Zwischendrin drehte er aber auch immer wieder kleinere Spielfilme, die mehr dem neugierigen Geist seiner Dokumentarfilmarbeit entsprachen: "Gorillas im Nebel" mit Sigourney Weaver, "Nashville Lady" mit Sissy Spacek oder "Nell" mit Jodie Foster.
Am Donnerstag ist Michael Apted im Alter von 79 Jahren in seinem Haus in Los Angeles gestorben.

Stone used as mounting block for years revealed to be Roman artefact

A stone used as a mounting block for an English stable has been revealed to be an ancient Roman artefact worth more than $26,000.
The stone was found in a garden rockery in Whiteparish, south-west of London, about 20 years ago, according to auctioneers Woolley and Wallis, who are handing the sale of the artefact.
The owner of the property used the stone as a mounting block for her horses for a decade before recently noticing the carvings on the side.
An archaeologist found that the seemingly unassuming stone was a Roman-worked marble slab dating back to the second century CE.
It's believed to have been carved in Greece or Asia Minor - but is likely to have arrived in Britain long after the final collapse of the Roman Empire.
"Artefacts of this type often came into England as the result of Grand Tours in the late 18th and 19th century, when wealthy aristocrats would tour Europe learning about Classical art and culture," Woolley and Wallis antiquities specialist Will Hobbs said.
"We assume that is how it entered the UK, but what is a complete mystery is how it ended up in a domestic garden, and that's where we'd like the public's help."
The auctioneering house is seeking to establish the stone's more recent history.
It is to be sold at auction at a future date yet to be advised, with a pre-sale estimate of £10,000 to £15,000 ($17,576 to $26,365).

Süper Lig’in 21. haftasında Başakşehir, sahasında Rizespor ile 1-1 berabere kaldı. Müsabakanın ardından Medipol Başakşehir Teknik Direktörü Okan Buruk, basın mensuplarına açıklamalarda bulundu.
“HAKEMLİK DE YETENEK İŞİ”
Müsabakanın hakemi Ümit Öztürk’ü oyunun durmasına çok fazla müsaade ettiği gerekçesiyle eleştiren Buruk, “Beklediğimiz gibi rakip topu bize bıraktı. Çok fazla sahasından çıkmadı. İyi savunma yaptılar. En başta buraya fazla eksikle geldiler. 1 puan için oynadılar. Bunu bekliyorduk. Maç boyunca bunu gördük. Kötü bir maç oldu izleyenler için. Tabii ki bizim üretemememiz, denemeler vardı ama üretemedik. Bireysel olarak özelikle rakip ceza sahsı çevresinde iyi işler yapamadık. Bunu zaten sezon içerisinde de yaşıyoruz. En büyük sıkıntılarımızdan biri bu. Visca ve Chadli gibi oyunu değiştirecek oyuncuların olmaması. Sezon başından beri savunmada sakatlıklar yaşadık. Bugün Rafael devam edemdi. Sol bekte Hasan Ali zaman zaman iyi şeyler yaptı ama gerekli pozisyonlara giremedik. Bugün genele bakınca istemediğimiz bir oyun. Rakip oyunu yavaşlattı ve vakit geçirme oldu ama onları suçlamıyorum. Bu maçı yönetecek olan bir hakem var. Hakemler bu maçı yönetemediği sürece futbol zevkinden uzaklaşıyoruz. Hakemler burada maçların yavaş oynamasını istiyor, ne kadar az pozisyon olursa hakemlerin lehine olacağını düşüyorlar. Bütün hakemler için demiyorum ama Ümit Öztürk bu anlamda sınıfta kaldı. Bana nasıl ilk itirazımda sarı kart gösterdiyse vakit geçirenlere de kart gösterebilirdi. Hakemlik de bir yetenek işi. Her hakemin maçları yönetme yeteneği olmuyor. Maçı yavaşlatan kimdi derseniz, birinci sıraya Ümit Öztürk’ü koyuyorum. Hakem atamalarında hep aynı sıkıntıyı yaşatıyoruz. Şampiyonluk yarışı içinde olan takımlarla oynadığımızda çok kötü atamalar yapıldı. Ben kişisel olarak hangi hakemle maça çıkmak istemezseniz deseniz; Ümit Öztürkle maça çıkmak istemem. İlk konuşmamda bana kart gösterdi. Bunu kişisel olarak algılıyorum. Kişisel sorun yaşadığım hakemi sürekli benim maçlarıma neden veriyorlar anlamadım. Bunun yanında bizim kötü oyunumuzu da baş sıraya koymak gerekiyor. Çok fazla hak ettiğimizi söyleyemem. Daha fazla üretmemiz gerekirdi. Maalesef bunu başaramadık. Yüze 75 topa sahip olduk ama tehlikeli atak üretmedik. Hem benim hem takımın performansının düşük olduğunu düşünüyorum. Bugün rotasyon yapamaya da çalıştık. 4 gün sonra Süper Kupa finali var. Artık kupayı kazanıp moral yükseltmek istiyoruz” diye konuştu.
“EN AZ 3 OYUNCUYA İHTİYACIMIZ VAR”
Transfere ihtiyaçları olduğunu da vurgulayan deneyimli çalıştırıcı, “Bununla ilgili başkanımızla konuşup eksik olan bölgelere transfer gerekiyor. Şu an en az 3 oyuncu ihtiyacımız var. Bugün Fernandes imza attı. En az iki oyuncu daha alamız gerek. Performansı düşük olan çok oyuncular var. Rekabetin artması için transfer yapmamız lazım” dedi.
“VISCA'YI ÇOK ARIYORUZ"
Edin Visca’nın sakatlığının sorulması üzerine ise Okan Buruk, şu cevabı verdi:
“Edin’in ağrılarının geçmesini bekliyoruz. Ama onu riske edip 1 ay, 2 ay uzak kalması bizim için daha büyük sorun oluşturacak. Süper Kupa maçını hedef seçtik. Pazartesi bakacağız yetiştirebilecek miyiz diye. Çok arıyoruz Visca’yı. Sıkışan maçlarda Caiçara, Visca yine Clichy’nin bize çok katkısı oldu. Bu oyuncuları çok arıyoruz. Üretemememizin bir nedeni de bu. Kadro olarak da çok değiştik. Bugün hem Giuliano hem Chadli’nin sakat olması, uzun sakatlıkları kenara bıraktım kısa sakatlıkların olması bizi zorluyor.”
“BÜTÇEYE GÖRE TRANSFER YAPACAĞIZ"
Hangi bölgelere transfer düşündüklerine ilişkin ise Buruk, “Savunmada Rafael’in sakatlığı oluyor. Onun yanında Uğur da yüzde yüz değil. Oraya da bir takviye istiyoruz. Yine gidişata göre de takımımıza da katkı yapmayı düşünüyoruz. Şu an gözüken ihtiyaç var. Hücum hattında büyük sıkıntı yaşıyoruz. Gol sayısında hücumda oyuncularımız geçen sezonun çok altında. Kulübün bütçesine göre transfer yapmaya çalışacağız” şeklinde konuştu.
“İRFAN'IN KAFASI KARIŞTI DİYEMEM”
İrfan Can’ın Galatasaray’a transferindeki son duruma ilişkin de Okan Buruk, şunları söyledi:
“İrfan çok kaliteli, karakterli, iyi bir profesyonel. Bütün maçlarda en iyi şekilde oynamaya çalışıyor. Burası onun evi, onun kulübü. Başkana da çok büyük saygısı var. Elinde gelenin en fazlasını yapıyor. Tabii teklifler var. Kulüp son kararları verecektir. İstediği rakam olursa kulüp teklifleri değerlendirecektir. İrfan bütün maçları yüze 100 onuyor. İrfan’ın kafası karıştı diyemem. Çarşamba günü Süper Kupa finalinde de elinden gelenin en fazlasını yapacak. Ama şu an ortada net bir şey yok. Bununla ilgi en doğru kaynak başkanımız ve Galatasaray başkanı, ikisinin görüşmeleri. Şu an ortada olan çok yüzde söyleyemeyiz. Ama şu anda İrfan Başakşehir’in oyuncusu. Başakşehir’in düşündüğü bir rakam var.”

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.

How offshoring rolled along under Trump, who vowed to stop it

By Timothy Aeppel
PERU, Indiana, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency four years ago, in part, by a promise to Midwest factory workers that he would stop companies like Schneider Electric SE from moving jobs out of the country.
He didn´t stop them.
Schneider´s plant, which produced electrical equipment near the center of this tiny town north of Indianapolis, closed in April, shedding 306 jobs. Regina McDowell, who worked there 42 years and said it was the only job she ever had other than teenage babysitting, said she went through a "bit of a depression" when it closed.
President Trump didn´t send any angry tweets on behalf of the factory´s workers or respond to workers who reached out to the White House for help, said McDowell, who remains secretary treasurer of the union that represented workers at Schneider and several other small plants in Peru. Some workers were hopeful Trump might speak up, as he had on behalf of workers at a nearby Carrier Corp. plant during the 2016 election campaign.
There were also no public expressions of support offered by Mike Pence, who as governor of Indiana and the vice-president elect negotiated with Carrier to modify their plans, including meeting with the CEO of Carrier´s parent company at Trump Tower in New York in late November 2016.
Despite the silence from Washington, McDowell said most of her coworkers enthusiastically supported Trump in the 2020 election. "They blamed the company, not him."
Peru is just one example of how offshoring rolled onwards even under a president who pledged to stop it. While complete data does not exist to pinpoint all U.S. jobs that are lost to offshoring, the Labor Department tracks cases where workers petition for help under a federal law designed to aid those harmed by trade.
During the four years of the Trump administration, that program certified 2,095 petitions covering 202,151 workers who lost jobs that moved overseas. That´s only slightly less than the 2,170 petitions approved during the last four years of the Obama administration, which covered 209,735 workers.
"The challenge for the U.S. remains the shortage of skilled workers and higher costs - that hasn´t changed," said Patrick Van den Bossche, a partner with Kearney who tracks how companies are shifting their production footprints.
Venancio Figueroa, a spokesman for Schneider, said closing the plant was a "difficult" decision, "but we deemed it necessary so we could remain competitive in the markets we serve."
"We didn´t have any inquiries from the Trump administration" or from Indiana's state government, he added. There were inquiries by local and county government, which sought to reverse the decision, he said.
Schneider, a French conglomerate, countered the view that it was curbing its commitment to U.S. production, noting that it has committed to spend $40 million to upgrade plants in Kentucky, Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas.
RASPUTIN'S DAUGHTER
Loss of the plant was a heavy blow for Peru, population 11,500, which was once known as the winter home for several major circuses. Maria Rasputin, the daughter of famed Russian monk Grigori Rasputin, was mauled by a bear in Peru while working for a circus there. She survived. The only remnants of that history are a large circus museum and a summer festival and circus parade.
Schneider was by far the largest industrial employer, though it had dwindled in recent years. The plant made circuit breaker panel boards and enclosures that are used to shield electrical equipment.
The plant now sits empty. Most of the signage of its former owner have been pulled down, although small signs remain on gates to a huge parking area and a Schneider-branded electric car charging station stands next to the front door of the factory´s front offices.
The plant moved some of the production to Monterrey, Mexico, as well as to non-union operations in South Carolina and Texas.
"The goal was to get away from the union," says Eli Ireland, who worked at the plant for 22 years. The company called that view "inaccurate."
Indeed, the union that represented the workers, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, kept a tally of the plants it represented that closed during Trump´s tenure. They recorded over 50, including Peru. Not all were cases where jobs were directly outsourced overseas. But many of them are, according to the union.
"We did this because the administration said we'd bring jobs back and stop plant closures, so we collected this data," said Jonathan Battaglia, a union spokesman.
The good news for workers in Peru was that many of them quickly found jobs. When the plant closed, the pandemic had not yet hit the U.S. and employers were hungry for workers. Ireland, for instance, quickly went to work for a state agency that works with veterans. McDowell, who is 62, said she decided to take some time off but will soon start community college courses with the help of trade adjustment funds. She hopes to eventually start her own nonprofit to work with single parents on housing and other issues.
One aspect of the factory shutdown that McDowell still struggles with is that it coincided with a bitter election and the COVID-19 pandemic. McDowell, who is Black, said many of her friends, some of whom she´s known for 30 years, stopped socializing with her as the campaign heated up and her anti-Trump views clashed with the more widespread staunch support among coworkers.
"It´s odd. Sometimes I see them out and we usually speak because we knew each other," she said. "But these are people I used to do things with outside of work. I hope when things calm down, and Covid is over, we can reach out again." (Reporting by Timothy Aeppel; editing by Dan Burns and Edward Tobin)

Dortmund: Der Wall wird zur Dating-Plattform für Raser

Dortmund Hunderte aufgemotzter Autos hielten am Wochenende die Dortmunder Polizei in Atem. Im Lockdown nutzt die Szene den Wall zum "Daten".

Dortmund Hunderte aufgemotzter Autos hielten am Wochenende die Dortmunder Polizei in Atem. Im Lockdown nutzt die Szene den Wall zum "Daten".
Die Kneipen haben zu, die Clubs sowieso, wo sollen sie also hin, die jungen Männer mit dicken Autos, wenn sie im Szeneviertel nicht mehr vorfahren können? Am Wochenende kurvten sie wieder um die Dortmunder Innenstadt; der dortige Wallring etabliert sich im Lockdown als Treffpunkt. Die Polizei will das nicht hinnehmen: Das Verhalten von Rasern und Posern sei „gefährlich und verboten“.
Mehr als 700 aufgemotzte oder mindestens PS-starke Wagen zählten die Beamten in der Nächten zwischen Freitag und Sonntag auf dem Wall. Die Fahrer hupten und spielten laute Musik, sie fuhren Rennen und ließen Reifen quietschen. Die Polizei spricht von „illegalen Beschleunigungsrennen, erheblichen Verkehrsgefährdungen und -beeinträchtigungen, massivsten Lärmbelästigungen zur Nachtzeit, Vermüllung – etwa mit leeren Flaschen -- und Verstößen gegen die Corona-Schutzverordnung“.
"Wo gibt es die besten Perlen?"
Denn das ist neu in der Pandemie. Zwar kämpft Dortmund seit Jahren gegen die Raser- und die illegale Tuningszene, die nicht nur bis zu acht Fahrbahnen nutzt, sondern auch die Parkstreifen als Boxenstopp – doch im Lockdown hat sich das Problem massiv verstärkt: Junge Männer, die meisten nicht allein im Auto, nutzen den Wall als Partyersatz und als Treffpunkt mit Frauen. Szenekenner berichten von verstärktem Zulauf seit dem ersten Lockdown. „Wo gibt es die besten Perlen, die besten Autos, die beste Show?“, fragt ein Polizeisprecher sarkastisch und weiß die Antwort: Dortmund.
Schon gilt der Wall als Alternative für Discos, für das schnelle Date fährt Mann zum Wall, das Netz prägte schon einen Namen dafür, in Anlehnung an den eines Flirtportals: „Blech-Tinder“. Die Fahrer heißen entsprechend „Dater“ und kommen teils von weit her. Tatsächlich zählten die über hundert Polizisten an den vergangenen Wochenenden auffallend und zunehmend viele Frauen in der Dortmunder City. Dabei beschränkt sich das Daten nicht mehr „nur“ auf die warme Jahreszeit, eröffnet traditionell mit dem „Car-Freitag“. In Corona-Zeiten trifft sich die Szene auch im Winter; der Motor – und damit die Heizung – läuft ja ohnehin.
Hupen und Heulen der Motoren: "An Schlaf ist nicht zu denken"
Vom späten Abend bis kurz vor fünf Uhr morgens wurde das PS-starke Stell-Dich-Ein an den vergangenen Wochenenden gefeiert, „an Schlaf“, sagt ein Polizeisprecher, „ist für die Anwohner nicht zu denken“. Sie lassen die Notrufleitungen seit Wochen nicht stillstehen, viele schrieben zuletzt Briefe an die Polizei. Wegen der Innenstadt-Lage ihrer Wohnungen zahlen sie hohe Mieten, finden aber an den Wochenenden keine Ruhe mehr.
Dem WDR erklärten Teilnehmer am Samstag, die Faszination des Raser-Treffens: Man könne ja „sonst nichts machen“ im Lockdown, sei eingesperrt, kriege Depressionen – und müsse „mal frische Luft schnappen“. Im Video sind Hunderte Autos zu sehen, die an den Sperren vorbeischleichen, sind Hupen zu hören, auf einem Abschleppwagen steht ein silberner Sportwagen.
Achtung: "Die Polizei fährt mit" - auch an den kommenden Wochenenden
Nicht nur die Ordnungskräfte beobachten aber, dass auch Bußgelder oft nicht helfen: Mancher muss Dortmund zu Fuß verlassen, zahlt mehrere Hundert Euro, bekommt Punkte und muss auch für die Folgekosten aufkommen – und ist trotzdem eine Woche später wieder da. Inzwischen gibt es offenbar sogar Regeln für die Wallfahrt: Wer innen fährt, wissen Insider, will cruisen, wer außen rollt, will rasen. „Ampelgespräche“ dienen der Kontaktaufnahme. Doch die Polizei fährt mit: „Wir können und wollen das nicht hinnehmen“, sagt ein Sprecher. Er kündigt schon jetzt an: „Die Polizei fährt mit.“
Oder besser: Sie hält an. Sperrte am Wochenende Spuren, stoppte Wagen, kontrollierte, zog aufgemotzte Exemplare aus dem Verkehr. Zwischenzeitlich machte sie den Verkehr einspurig, aus dem Stau heraus aber wurden die Beamten „beschimpft und bespuckt“. Trotzdem bleiben sie hartnäckig: „Wir müssen, sagt der Sprecher, „den fließenden Verkehr zum Erliegen bringen.“
Bußgelder halten viele Fahrer nicht auf
Fünf PKW wurden sichergestellt, weil die technischen „Anpassungen“ nicht zu den Papieren passten: „Verdacht auf Erlöschen der Betriebserlaubnis“. Ein Führerschein wurde kassiert, mehrere Verstöße gegen die Corona-Schutzverordnung wurden moniert, über 160 Personen erhielten Platzverweise.
In der Nacht zu Samstag musste die Polizei einen Mann sogar festnehmen: Er machte seinem Unmut über die polizeilichen Maßnahmen allzu deutlich Luft. Fuhr mehrfach an mit quietschenden Reifen, leistete Widerstand und verbrachte die Nacht schließlich im Gewahrsam. Zudem gab es zwei Unfälle mit Blechschaden, etwas Schlimmes passiert ist nicht.
Das aber, das ist das wesentliche Anliegen, soll auch so bleiben. Man brauche einen langen Atem, heißt es bei der Polizei. Bislang hat es in Dortmund keine tödlichen Unfälle im Zusammenhang mit der Szene gegeben. „Wir wollen“, sagt der Sprecher, „keine Verkehrstoten in Dortmund!“
>>INFO: RENNEN AUF EINEM PARKPLATZ
Die Raser treffen sich in Dortmund nicht nur nachts: Am Sonntag wurde ausgerechnet ein Polizeibeamter Zeuge eines illegalen Rennens. Nicht auf dem Wall, sondern auf dem Parkplatz eines Supermarktes fuhren kurz nach Mitternacht in der Nacht zu Montag zwei Wagen mit hohem Tempo auf den Fußgänger zu. Einer musste eine Vollbremsung machen, um den Polizisten nicht zu erfassen. Der sprang zur Seite. Einer der Fahrer konnte unerkannt entkommen, der andere, ein 19-Jähriger aus Hamm, wurde wenig später erwischt – auf dem Wall.

Im jahrelangen Streit um zwei Windenergie-Anlagen im Wesertal bei Rinteln (Landkreis Schaumburg) will das Oberverwaltungsgericht Lüneburg am Dienstag ein Urteil sprechen. Das berichtet NDR 1 Niedersachsen. Die Investoren fordern in einem Eilantrag, dass der Landkreis die beiden Anlagen genehmigt. Der Landkreis entgegnet, die Investoren hätten inzwischen die Windrad-Typen geändert - und für die brauche es jetzt neue Gutachten. Außerdem habe sich an den geplanten Standorten die Natur verändert. Deshalb müsse erneut geprüft werden, ob da möglicherweise besonders gefährdete Arten nisten.

Erfurt – Monatelange Corona-Pause und weniger Besucher: Die Corona-Pandemie hinterlässt deutliche Spuren auch bei der Messe Erfurt. Statt geplanter 10 Millionen Euro wurde nur ein Umsatz in Höhe von 3,3 Millionen Euro erreicht, sagte Geschäftsführer Michael Kynast. „Das ist echt traurig.“

Erfurt – Monatelange Corona-Pause und weniger Besucher: Die Corona-Pandemie hinterlässt deutliche Spuren auch bei der Messe Erfurt. Statt geplanter 10 Millionen Euro wurde nur ein Umsatz in Höhe von 3,3 Millionen Euro erreicht, sagte Geschäftsführer Michael Kynast. „Das ist echt traurig.“
Eigentlich war Kynast davon ausgegangen, dass 2020 das beste Jahr in der Messe-Geschichte werden könnte. Stattdessen wurden Kolleginnen und Kollegen nun in Kurzarbeit geschickt.. Aktuell hat die Messe etwas weniger als 50 Mitarbeiter. „Einige Stellen sind nicht besetzt - und wir werden sie wohl auch nicht so schnell besetzen.“
„Bestimmte Projekte waren aber auch erfolgreich, wie die ,pro.vention’“, betonte Kynast. Die Messe zu Themen rund um den Corona-Schutz wurde innerhalb von nur wenigen Wochen entwickelt, sagte Kynast. 1500 Fachbesucher hatten an zwei Tagen vor Ort und online bei der Erstauflage Präsentationen und Fachvorträge verfolgt.
Zum Vergleich: Eine unter normalen Bedingungen verlaufene Messe für Modellbau Anfang Februar hatte 15 000 Besucher gezählt. Dagegen waren zur Verbrauchermesse „Thüringen Ausstellung“ Anfang März unter strengen Hygiene-Vorschriften rund 45 000 Gäste gekommen - laut Veranstalter 35 Prozent weniger als im Jahr zuvor.
Kynast richtet sich auch auf einen verhaltenen Start ins Jahr 2021 ein: „Wenn wir in die Glaskugel schauen, müssen wir davon ausgehen, dass wir auch in den ersten Monaten des neuen Jahres keine Veranstaltungen haben werden.“ Den Kopf in den Sand stecken wolle er aber nicht. Einige Projekte seien bereits verschoben worden, etwa die Messe „Reiten, Jagen, Fischen“ in den Mai. Andere Veranstaltungen seien bereits komplett auf ein Jahr später verlegt worden.
Einige Events hätten 2020 neue Wege aufgezeigt - etwa, wie digitale Angebote funktionieren. „Damit bekommen wir eine Reichweite, die wir sonst nicht haben“, sagte Kynast. So sei Geld in neue Verkabelung und Streaming-Technik investiert worden. „Ich glaube zwar nicht, dass virtuelle Erlebnisse die live vor Ort komplett ersetzen können, aber wir werden das in Zukunft auch weiter verfolgen.“
Erfurt ist nach Angaben der Messegesellschaft der zweitgrößte Messestandort in den fünf ostdeutschen Flächenländern nach Leipzig. Etwa 650 000 Besucher kommen in normalen Jahren zu Ausstellungen, Tagungen und Konzerten und anderen Veranstaltungen auf das Gelände. Hauptgesellschafter ist das Land Thüringen.

Singapore police can obtain personal information from the country's COVID-19 contact-tracing technology for criminal investigations, a government minister confirmed in parliament.
"The Singapore Police Force is empowered under the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) to obtain any data, including TraceTogether data, for criminal investigations," Desmond Tan, the country's Minister of State for Home Affairs, said.
TraceTogether is a digital system developed by the Singaporean government that notifies people who might have been exposed to COVID-19 through close contact with confirmed cases.
It comes in the form of either a smartphone app or a Bluetooth token.
Mr Tan added that the government is the "custodian" of data collected through the system, and that "stringent measures" are in place to ensure that it can only be used for "authorised purposes."
As of Monday, more than 4.2 million people, or 78 per cent of Singapore's population, have enrolled in the TraceTogether program, Lawrence Wong, co-chair of the multi-ministry task force tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, confirmed.
According to information posted on TraceTogether's website, the system only records users who have come into close contact with one another by exchanging Bluetooth signals on their tokens but does not record their geolocation data.

By Howard Schneider
WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - From trade wars to tax cuts, from ultra-low unemployment to record highs on stock markets and a high-volume feud with his own Federal Reserve chief, President Donald Trump took the U.S. economy on a wild ride even before the coronavirus drove it off a cliff.
How to sum it up?
The answer as of February 2020 would be different than the answer today. A year ago, the U.S. economy seemed to have settled into a sweet spot of steady growth, low unemployment, low inflation and, finally, rising wages. Trump may have hated the Fed, but in the end the Republican president and the U.S. central bank reached a truce that kept a decade of growth chugging along, and pushed the unemployment rate to a 50-year low.
The pandemic changed all that and will likely leave some deep economic scars. Here's what stands out:
EMPLOYMENT-TO-POPULATION RATIO
Broader than the unemployment rate, the statistic captures the numbers of people not just out of work and looking, but who also who have left the labor force altogether, a particular concern during the pandemic. It had been improving steadily and continued to do so under Trump - until March 2020.
"You see it collapse with the virus shutdown and see it bounce back at a rapid pace, then stall," said Austan Goolsbee, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under former President Barack Obama and an economics professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business. "That basically describes the trajectory of the economy. The biggest cause is obvious. The raging out-of-control nature of the virus, which is absolutely tied to horrible policy mistakes and oversight."
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE
The story of the Trump years can be seen also in the Fed's benchmark overnight interest rate, also known as the federal funds rate, which was increased as tax cuts and deficit spending led to higher-than-expected economic growth, lowered when a trade war started to grind down global commerce, and cut to near zero when the pandemic hit.
Trump complained mightily about the Fed's rate increases, and he may have had a point. The central bank, for its own reasons, eventually found its own low-rate religion that worries less about inflation and "overheating," and won't likely raise rates again for a long time.
The Fed's new policy strategy from August 2020 means that "they look back implicitly and see the magnitude of rate hikes in 2017-2018 as a mistake," said Jason Thomas, head of research at the Carlyle Group. "They fell prey to the models ... What we are seeing right now at the Fed is an effort not to fall into the same trap."
TRADE WARS
The seeds of "deglobalization" may have been planted well before Trump's 2016 election victory, and, as the Brexit debate showed, he was not the only politician to exploit the sentiment.
But his willingness to use unilateral tariffs and fight not only with adversaries like China but ostensible allies like Germany rattled the world trade order. He still ended his term with a record U.S. trade deficit, unavoidable perhaps due to the pandemic. But some of his concerns were shared by other countries, for example, over China's weak enforcement of intellectual property rules.
With not just trade but climate change and other problems on the agenda for the world and President-elect Joe Biden, "a discussion that is more multilateral than bilateral can make more progress," said Raghuram Rajan, former head of the Reserve Bank of India and a Booth finance professor. "Get trade on the simple, plain vanilla stuff going again ... Difficult areas can be put on a separate track ... China should not feel it is being cornered."
THE STOCK MARKET
Trump treated the stock market like a scorecard for his presidency, noting new records in tweets and blaming any dips on the Fed, among other supposed villains.
Consider it a story in two chapters, however. Before the pandemic, Trump's combination of corporate tax cuts and deregulation, coupled with continued economic growth, fueled profits and equity prices. After the pandemic it's less clear why stocks are supercharged, but the Fed's promise of low interest rates for many years to come and a flood of pandemic aid into the economy play a role.
"Trump was unusual in tying his policies and interpretations of his policies with" equity prices, said Randall Kroszner, a former Fed governor who is now a Booth professor and deputy dean. "Now people are concerned the Fed's actions and expected stimulus are driving markets to levels that cannot be sustained ... but it tells you something about the progress of the U.S. economy, tax changes, regulatory changes."
So was it, in the end, the greatest economy in the history of the United States?
As with many things about Trump, that depends on who's being asked. It also hinges on whether the frame of reference relates to short-term outcomes, or longer-term questions of sustainability - like the record level of government debt piled up to fund tax cuts and pandemic relief - or fairness, or the quality of public goods like the environment.
For Democrats, at least, attitudes about the economy brightened notably after Biden's victory in the Nov. 3 election. For Republicans, the mood soured.

Bochum. Sport-Geschäftsführer Schindzielorz hatte weitere Abgänge nicht ausgeschlossen. Nun steht fest: Kokovas verlässt den VfL Bochum.
Während Neuzugang Erhan Masovic eine Wohnung in Bochum bezogen hat, ist das Kapitel VfL für Stelios Kokovas vorbei. Der 19-jährige Innenverteidiger wechselt mit sofortiger Wirkung zum tschechischen Erstligisten MFK Karvina. Das gab der Zweitligist am Montag bekannt. Über die Vertragsmodalitäten machten die Klubs keine Angaben.
Kokovas wechselte 2017 vom griechischen Klub Anagennisi Kalochoriou zum VfL. Danach spielte er in der U17 und der U19. Bei den Profis konnte er allerdings nicht Fuß fassen, kam lediglich zu sechs Einsätzen in der Saison 2018/19. „Für ihn ist es schwierig geworden, da sich sowohl auf der Position des Innenverteidigers als auch auf der des linken Außenverteidigers andere in den Vordergrund gespielt haben. Angesichts dieser Konkurrenzsituation ist es für ihn das Beste, sich woanders zu beweisen", sagte Sport-Geschäftsführer Sebastian Schindzielorz. Zuletzt kam er im Testspiel im August gegen KFC Uerdingen zum Einsatz.
Leitsch und Bella-Kotchap in der Innenverteidigung
In der Innenverteidigung setzt Trainer Thomas Reis auf die jungen Maxim Leitsch und Armel Bella-Kotchap. Auf der Linksverteidigerposition ist Danilo Soares gesetzt. Als Alternative kommt Herbert Bockhorn infrage, der beim 2:0-Sieg in Regensburg sein Startelfdebüt auf der rechten Seite gab.
Kokovas ist der dritte Abgang in diesem Winter. Zuvor hatte der VfL schon die Eigengewächse Lukas Holtkamp und Moritz Römling an den Regionalligisten Wuppertaler SV verliehen. Dass weitere Spieler abgehen könnten, hatte Schindzielorz bereits vor dem Regensburg-Spiel angekündigt. Mit Neuzugängen rechnet er derweil nicht: "Ich glaube, wenn denn nichts Gravierendes mehr passiert, dass auf der Zugangsseite nichts mehr zu vermelden sein wird." (lo)

US man pleads guilty to digging up Yellowstone cemetery in hunt for treasure

A US man has pleaded guilty after authorities said he was caught digging in a Yellowstone National Park cemetery in search of hidden treasure.
Rodrick Dow Craythorn, 52, of Syracuse, Utah, entered the plea on Monday in US District Court in Casper to illegally excavating or trafficking in archaeological resources and to damaging federal property.
He could face up to 12 years in prison and $270,000 in fines when sentenced on March 17.
Craythorn was searching for a treasure chest containing coins, gold and other valuables left in the backcountry a decade ago by Santa Fe, New Mexico, art and antiquities dealer Forrest Fenn, who published a book with a poem containing clues to where the treasure could be found.
Craythorn caused more than $1000 in damage by digging in the Fort Yellowstone Cemetery between October 1, 2019, and May 24, 2020, prosecutors alleged.
“The hunt for the Forrest Fenn treasure was often viewed as a harmless diversion, but in this case it led to substantial damage to important public resources,” Wyoming US lawyer Mark Klaassen said.
Craythorn's attorney, Christopher Humphrey of Cheyenne, didn't immediately return a phone message on Tuesday seeking comment.
Fenn died at age 90 in September, three months after announcing the treasure had been found. A grandson of Fenn confirmed in December the finder was Jonathan “Jack” Stuef, 32, a medical student from Michigan.
Fenn said before his death the treasure was in Wyoming but neither Stuef nor Fenn's relatives have said where specifically.
Fenn for years hinted the treasure, estimated to be worth at least $1 million, was north of Santa Fe in the Rocky Mountains of either New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming or Montana.
Several people seeking the treasure had to be rescued from precarious situations and as many as six died.

In wake of U.S. Capitol attack, some law firms decline to halt...

By Caroline Spiezio
Jan 19 (Reuters) - While major corporations and some law firms stopped contributions to lawmakers after the deadly Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol, few of the legal industries' most powerful political spenders have publicly taken similar steps.
Five people including a police officer lost their lives as supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the seat of Congress, fueled by Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud.
Firms including Covington & Burling, outside counsel for President-elect Joe Biden's campaign, and lobbying giants Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck issued statements condemning the violence, but stopped short of pledging to suspend donations from their political action committees.
The PACs of the three firms, which wield significant influence in Washington, D.C., were among the ten highest spending for individual law firms in the 2020 election cycle, which overall contributed about $3.2 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' OpenSecrets website. The donations from the ten firms were roughly split among Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
All ten firms gave to at least one of the Republican lawmakers who voted against certifying Biden's election victory in the hours following the riot, according to OpenSecrets.
Separately, the PAC for the American Association for Justice, a lobbying organization for plaintiffs' lawyers, gave over $2.1 million, almost all to Democrats, OpenSecrets said.
The financial impact of law firm political contributions is "a drop in the bucket," said Michael Miller, an assistant professor of political science at Barnard College, in an email. But these firms' decisions could help send "a clear message about acceptable behavior, that may potentially give bad actors pause."
Just three of the ten top-spending individual law firm PACs publicly suspended contributions in response to the Jan. 6 attack. Squire Patton Boggs and Holland & Knight, which have substantial lobbying arms, froze all contributions, while Cozen O'Connor halted contributions to lawmakers who voted against certifying Biden's victory.
Covington said in a statement that it is undertaking "a comprehensive review of political contributions and policies." The incoming Biden administration has tapped a Covington attorney as special assistant to the president and chief of staff for the Office of Legislative Affairs.
Brownstein said it will review its policies on political giving "to ensure that they reflect our firm's values."
Akin Gump said its PAC "will certainly consider the riotous events in Washington, D.C., and the false rhetoric questioning the legitimacy of the recent elections as part of a broad array of factors when determining our PAC giving priorities."
McGuireWoods, another top spending firm, said it is suspending federal level contributions, citing "the new Congress and new year."
The American Association for Justice did not return a request for comment about whether it was halting contributions. Neither did Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough and Maynard, Cooper & Gale, whose political action committees also rank among the top ten for law firms. K&L Gates declined to comment.
As individuals, attorneys generally overwhelmingly donate to Democrats, federal election data shows. (Reporting by Caroline Spiezio; Editing by David Bario, Noeleen Walder and Daniel Wallis)

Tourist slips to death moments after photo taken at Victoria Falls

A tourist was photographed walking by a cliff at one of the world's most famous waterfalls moments before he slipped and fell to his death.
Roy George Tinashe Dikinya, 40, was standing by the edge of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe on New Year's Day when he fell.
A photo taken seconds earlier shows him walking by the cliff's edge while wearing sandals, a bunch of items in his arm.
"We were alerted by the woman's scream and she told us that he had slipped and fallen," a witness told Zimbabwe newspaper Newsday.
"Because of the showers and the mist, we could not trace him after that, and that's when we went to alert the park's officials."
Mr Dikinya fell more than 100m to his death.
It took several days for authorities to find Mr Dikinya's body, because it was trapped at the bottom of the rocky cliff.
But they have yet to recover it because of the extraordinarily difficult location.
While the terrain and the sheer volume of water complicates the recovery, the presence of crocodiles and hippopotamuses in the Zambesi River adds another element of danger.
Mr Dikinya was a tourist visiting from the Zimbabwean capital of Harare. He was at Victoria Falls with a friend.
Tourism and Environment minister Mangaliso Ndlovu passed on his condolences to Mr Dikinya's family.
"This is a rare, tragic and unfortunate incident to be witnessed at the mighty Victoria Falls," Mr Ndlovu said.
Another body was found several kilometres downstream earlier, but authorities said it was not Mr Dinkinya.
That body has yet to be identified.
Located on the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia, Victoria Falls is one of the largest and most famous waterfalls in the world.
The falls are 1.7km long.
The famous waterfalls have seen a larger inflow of water in recent days thanks to heavy rains in the Zambesi River region.
The national parks surrounding the falls are known for their elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebra, clawless otters and honey badgers.

Duisburg Die Spieler des Skaterhockey-Bundesligisten Duisburg Ducks sorgen für ihre Fitness – mit Wettkampf-Charakter über eine Online-Gruppe.
Irgendwann so gegen April soll die Saison 2021 in der Skaterhockey-Bundesliga beginnen. Eine Formulierung, die noch vor einem Jahr für Stirnrunzeln gesorgt hätte. Heutzutage sind „soll“, „könnte“ und „vielleicht“ wichtige Vokabeln, wenn es um Sport geht. Dennoch wollen sich die Duisburg Ducks so gut es geht vorbereiten – wenn auch die aktuellen Bestimmungen ein gemeinsames Training unmöglich machen. „Ich habe den Jungs in unserer Online-Gruppe gesagt, dass es noch nie so einfach war, Deutscher Meister zu werden. Und dass es noch nie so einfach war, aus der Bundesliga abzusteigen“, sagt Enten-Trainer Sven Fydrich.
Was der neue, alte Coach des achtfachen Meisters meint: Nachdem die vergangene Saison bis auf einen einzigen Spieltag ausgefallen ist, wird über ein Jahr Spielpause hinter den Mannschaften liegen. Da kommt es mehr denn je auf die richtige Vorbereitung an. „Wir müssen Corona nun als Chance sehen und aufhören, uns darüber zu beschweren, wie schlimm alles ist“, sagt Fydrich. Runter von der Coach – und wohin? „Sicherlich ist ein Videotraining, wie es unser Nachwuchs vorbildlich betreibt, eine tolle Alternative. Ich habe mich aber für etwas anderes entschieden“, sagt der Coach des Herren-Bundesliga-Teams.
Spieler legen Plan selbst fest
Denn ganz alleine müssen sich die Enten auch nach den aktuellen Bestimmungen nicht fithalten. „Zwei Leute dürfen sich treffen“, erklärt Fydrich. „Daher habe ich das Team in Pärchen eingeteilt.“ Die Idee dahinter: Der Coach wird das Fitnessprogramm der Spieler nicht überwachen – sondern die Spieler gegenseitig selbst. „Die Jungs posten ihren Plan und dann auch das Ergebnis in unserer Gruppe. Sie können sich frei entscheiden, was sie machen. Völlig egal, ob sie 30 Kilometer wandern, 25 Kilometer Radfahren oder zehn Kilometer laufen.“ Der Vorteil: „Wir wecken damit den Wettkampfgeist bei den Jungs. Keiner will ja irgendeine Kleinigkeit machen, wenn sich die anderen voll reinhängen.“
Und das kommt gut an. „In unserer Gruppe ist richtig viel los“, freut sich der Coach. Das Ganze hat aus seiner Sicht einige Vorteile. „Zum einen sind Hockeyspieler nicht die Läufer schlechthin. Das macht keiner gerne, so aber ziehen sich die beiden gegenseitig mit“, sagt Fydrich. Außerdem dürften die beiden Spieler eines Pärchens viel Redebedarf haben. „Viele der Jungs haben sich sehr lange nicht mehr gesehen. Da gibt es genügend Gesprächsthemen.“ Für Fydrich geht es zudem vor allem darum, „wieder Routinen zu schaffen. Das kennt jeder in der aktuellen Zeit. Viele Routinen sind verloren gegangen.“ Die Ducks sollen also wieder zu einem Rhythmus finden. „Denn wenn man mehr als ein Jahr lang nur auf der Couch bei Chips und Bier gesessen hätte, guckt man sich um, wenn es plötzlich wieder losgeht.“ Die Ducks gehen also aktiv gegen den „Corona-Blues“ vor.
Raus aus dem „Corona-Blues“
Zunächst wollen sich die Enten Stück für Stück aus diesem „Blues“ herausarbeiten. „Wir starten damit, dass sich die Pärchen einmal pro Woche treffen. Ende Januar sehen wir, wie es läuft und erhöhen möglicherweise den Takt, tauschen auch mal die Partner. Zudem müssen wir dann ja auch sehen, welche neuen Entscheidungen es gibt.“ Wichtig, so Fydrich, ist, dass die Spieler wieder eine Perspektive sehen. Und sich dazu noch mit Spaß fithalten. Denn irgendwann wird der Griff zum Schläger wieder möglich sein.

The Georgia Senate run-offs: The election result worth half a billion dollars

Speaking at a rally in Georgia yesterday, President Donald 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 is very important for Georgians to vote today.
Georgia is holding run-off elections for its two Senate seats, and the winners will determine which party controls the upper chamber in Congress.
Ballots are almost finished being counted, and the race is currently neck-and-neck.
If Democrats pick up the two seats, Joe Biden will be able to carry out his agenda unthwarted by Republicans.
And if Republicans hold on to at least one, they will have the capacity to block every piece of legislation Mr Biden puts forward.
On the Democratic side are documentary filmmaker Jon Ossoff and Baptist pastor Raphael Warnock.
They are going up against Republican incumbents David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who have both been embroiled in allegations of unethical stock trading.
If he wins, Mr Ossoff, 33, will be the youngest senator since Mr Biden was elected as a 29-year-old in 1972.
Rev. Warnock would be Georgia's first African-American senator, and one of just three in the Senate overall.
With the stakes so high, US$500 million has been spent on political campaign ads in the past two months.
Which means if you turn on the TV in Georgia, you will be lucky to see a commercial which isn't about the campaign.
For both sides, the campaigns have been walking delicate lines in order to be elected.
Mr Ossoff and Rev. Warnock need to bring out the Democrats who elected Mr Biden in Georgia by the slimmest of margins.
And they are doing it without an opponent as abrasive as Mr Trump on top of the ballot.
For Rev. Warnock it means commercials where he talks about his humble upbringing and his faith, while playing with his pet beagle.
For Senators Perdue and Loeffler, they need to draw out the conservative voter base that has kept Georgia in Republican hands for years.
And they need to do it without a candidate as inspirational as Mr Trump on top of the ballot.
That means focusing their energy on demonising Rev. Warnock, portraying him as a radical Marxist – a somewhat baseless accusation.
Senator Loeffler has posted ads on Facebook in recent days where Rev. Warnock's skin has been darkened; an apparent dogwhistle to frighten Georgia's conservative white voters.
But the Republican senators face a trickier proposition to draw out voters.
In the event of a 50-50 split in the Senate, the Vice President acts as the tie-breaker.
But neither senator has conceded Mr Trump has lost the election, meaning they can't argue the runoff election will determine control of the Senate.
Mr Trump himself tried the balancing act at a rally yesterday.
"These Senate seats are truly the last line of defence," he said.
"Now I must preface that by saying, because they'll say, 'He just conceded.' No, no."
Georgia is one of the newly emerging swing states in America, after years of being a solid Republican region.
But the population of the state is surging, thanks to explosive growth in the city of Atlanta.
And if November's result was any indication, the people moving to Atlanta from around the country are mostly Democratic voters.
Already the Democrats have banked up a large lead in early and absentee votes, with most Republicans expected to be casting a ballot in person today.
As a consequence, the election results are expected to swing heavily throughout the counting process, depending on which ballots get counted first.
Polls closed at 11am AEDT today.

Bienenfreundlich, bunt und vielfältig: Mit einfachen Mitteln lässt sich ein Naturgarten gestalten. Tipps für passende Pflanzen, zum Düngen und zur Bekämpfung von Schädlingen.
Ein blühendes Naturparadies, in dem Vögel in den Bäumen singen und Bienen summen - das ist der Wunsch vieler Gartenbesitzer. Ökologisches Gärtnern beginnt bei der Auswahl der Pflanzen.
Heimische Pflanzen bevorzugen
Einheimische Arten bieten Tieren Nahrung und wichtige Unterschlupfmöglichkeiten. Viele Gehölze, darunter Eberesche, Felsenbirne und Kornelkirsche, bieten Singvögeln Nahrung und Nistplätze. Besonders hübsch wirken mehrere verschiedene, zu einer Vogelhecke zusammengepflanzte Gehölze. Das bedeutet nicht, exotische Pflanzen wie Kirschlorbeer oder Rhododendron aus dem Garten zu verbannen. Sie sollten nur nicht die Mehrheit der Pflanzen ausmachen.
Wildbienen und anderen Insekten Nahrung bieten
Um Wildbienen, Hummeln oder Schmetterlingen Gutes zu tun, sollten im Beet vorwiegend Stauden stehen, die den Insekten Nahrung bieten. Dazu zählen etwa Sonnenbraut oder auch Fetthenne. Blumen mit gefüllten Blüten sind dagegen für die Insekten wertlos, da sie in der Regel keinen Pollen oder Nektar ausbilden. Ideal ist es, eine große Bandbreite insektenfreundlicher Stauden zu pflanzen, die zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten blühen. Sie bieten den Tieren die ganze Gartensaison über Nahrung - und erfreuen die Menschen mit ihren Blüten.
Eine schöne Alternative zu monotonen Rasenflächen und zugleich eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle für Insekten sind Wildblumenwiesen. Hierbei darauf achten, möglichst Saatgut aus heimischen Blumensorten zu wählen, die den hiesigen Insekten auch entsprechend Nahrung bieten.
Tieren Unterschlüpfe und Nistplätze im Naturgarten schaffen
Wer nützlichen Insekten wie Wildbienen zusätzlich helfen möchte, kann ihnen geeignete Nistplätze anbieten. Dafür reicht es meist bereits aus, Laubreste oder Strauchschnitt nicht gleich in der Biotonne zu entsorgen, sondern sie beispielsweise in einer entlegenen Gartenecke anzuhäufen.
Dekorativer sind Insektenhotels, die den Tieren Unterschlupf und Nistgelegenheiten bieten. Auch einige Säugetierarten freuen sich über ein Quartier im Garten: So können Naturfreunde etwa Igelhäuser für den Winter anlegen und Fledermäusen spezielle Kästen als Unterschlupf bereitstellen.
Eigener Kompost liefert humose Erde
Kunstdünger oder gar Schädlingsbekämpfungsmittel sind im ökologischen Garten tabu. Damit die Pflanzen trotzdem gut mit Nährstoffen versorgt sind, lohnt es sich, einen eigenen Kompost anzulegen. Aus Gartenabfällen und einem Teil der Küchenabfälle lässt sich so wertvolle, humose Erde gewinnen. Aus Grünschnitt lässt sich eine sogenannte Benjeshecke anlegen. Diese Totholzhecke kann nicht nur als Sicht- und Windschutz dienen, sondern auch als Unterschlupf für die verschiedensten Tiere wie Igel.
Ökologisch düngen mit Jauchen
Für eine Extraportion Nährstoffe kann bei Bedarf verdünnte Pflanzenjauche sorgen. Besonders gut geeignet ist etwa Brennnesseljauche. Alle Jauchen lassen sich sehr einfach selbst herstellen. Auf Torf sollten Hobbygärtner dagegen komplett verzichten, um die Moore zu schützen. Handelsüblicher Gartenerde ist häufig ein großer Anteil Torf beigemischt, der oft aus den baltischen Staaten stammt. Wer Gartenerde kauft, sollte daher unbedingt auf die Angaben auf der Packung achten und nur bei torffreier Erde zugreifen.
Schädlinge natürlich bekämpfen
Schädlinge können auch im ökologischen Garten die Freude an den sorgsam gehegten Pflanzen dämpfen. Je nach Schädling lassen sich die ungebetenen Gäste aber auch auf ökologisch verträgliche Weise vertreiben.
Blattläuse bekämpfen
Abhilfe bei Blattläusen etwa schaffen wahlweise Brennnesselbrühe oder ein Sud aus Ackerschachtelhalm. Ebenfalls gut geeignet ist verdünntes Neemöl, das sich auch gegen Schnecken und einige Pilzerkrankungen einsetzen lässt. Sehr wirkungsvoll ist ein Sud aus Rainfarn: Er vertreibt sowohl saugende Insekten wie Blattläuse und Weiße Fliegen als auch Raupen.
Nützlinge im Naturgarten einsetzen
Schadinsekten wie Dickmaulrüssler oder Weiße Fliege lassen sich zudem hervorragend durch Nützlinge in Schach halten. Haben sich nicht bereits von selbst angesiedelt, kann man sie mit Florfliegen und Marienkäfern vertreiben. Die Nutzinsekten sind im Internet erhältlich.
Umweltfreundlicher Pflanzenschutz
Auch viele Pflanzenkrankheiten, lassen sich mit biologischen Mitteln gut bekämpfen. Leidet eine Pflanze an sogenanntem Falschen Mehltau, hilft hier ebenfalls der Einsatz von Suden aus Ackerschachtelhalm oder Rainfarn. Echter Mehltau, speziell am Rosen, lässt sich mit Milch bekämpfen. Dazu alle paar Tage die Pflanze mit einem Wasser-Milch-Gemisch einsprühen. Wichtig: Zunächst alle befallenen Pflanzenteile entfernen und diese nicht in den Kompost geben, sondern in den Restmüll, um eine erneute Ausbreitung zu verhindern.

PM's latest hire signals desire for Whitehall reform

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}If you are not interested in Whitehall intrigue, look away now.
But if you do care about how decisions are being made on all our behalf, something rather interesting happened today.
It emerged in a relatively low-key announcement from Downing Street as part of the daily briefing, which these days, is a long-winded conference call with dozens of people frantically reminding each other on Whatsapp to 'mute' while the scratchy call progresses through sometimes barely audible exchanges.
It is not yet, the snazzy US-style televised press briefings that No 10 once hoped for, which have now been delayed on several occasions, with whispers around that those delays could go on for some time.
The prime minister told the cabinet this morning, and Downing Street announced at lunchtime, that Sir Michael Barber would be returning to government for a while to carry out a review (one of every government's favourite words) in the new few months of what works, and what doesn't in Whitehall.
In a letter to cabinet ministers and top officials in SW1, Boris Johnson and his most senior civil servant, Simon Case, wrote:
"This government has an ambitious set of goals for this Parliament and we must ensure we are in the very best shape to deliver them.
"We have therefore asked Sir Michael Barber and a small team to conduct a rapid review of the arrangements for driving and monitoring delivery both at the centre of government and in departments, and to suggest to us how they could be strengthened."
The prime minister has made no secret of his frustration with how some of the government machine responded, or rather struggled to respond, in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Government figures argue strongly that there are many things that have worked: the benefits system, the furlough scheme, of course now the provision of vaccines.
But particularly in the early months, it was common to hear ministers wonder aloud whether the supposed Rolls-Royce of the UK civil service was a less reliable and sophisticated engine after all.
That made the case, Boris Johnson's supporters used to argue, for up front, forceful changes to Whitehall - and if shaking things up knocked some plaster off the ceiling, well so be it.
The push for new ways of working was led by Dominic Cummings, the PM's pugnacious former adviser, who could pick a political argument in an empty room and championed the notion of taking on the establishment at every turn.
Some were less than revolutionary, such as getting experts from different departments to work together more.
Others were a lot more confrontational, such as clearing out what seemed almost a whole generation of permanent secretaries.
For the government he helped create, led by an old Etonian former Telegraph columnist who had previously been foreign secretary, that narrative was not exactly without irony, but there is no question that he wanted to do things differently.
Since Mr Cummings's departure however, the government's appetite for reform has rather faded. One senior figure joked to me a few weeks ago the word "reform with a capital R had been banned".
There is still an official agenda to make changes to the civil service, moving officials out of London for example.
But if the prime minister's appointment of a chief of staff with a Treasury and banking pedigree, Dan Rosenfield, suggested that Downing Street would be run in a rather more conventional way, today's appointment is a sure sign that the era of Mr Cummings's "hard rain" is over.
For Sir Michael's track record is crammed with previous Whitehall appointments.
An education expert, most recently in charge of the higher education regulator, he came to prominence as the head of Tony Blair's Delivery Unit, which pushed forward New Labour's reforms in the early 2000s.
Since then, he has been a non-executive director of a government department, carried out a review of getting value for taxpayers' money for Philip Hammond when he was chancellor and built up a business, writing books and advising governments how to get things done all round the world, even, according to his company's website, trademarking the notion of "Deliverology".
He has plenty of fans in senior jobs in government, and the pick is being seen as a way to get the machine in better shape - not just to get through to the other side of this crisis, but to be ready to get other things done effectively, and crucially, to be able to show voters that ministers are keeping the manifesto promises they made.
While there are plenty around SW1 applauding the appointment, one insider groaned that it was "back to the future," wondering if Tony Blair's policy enforcer could be the right person now.
Another senior official suggested that while Cummings and Barber were completely different characters, they both advocates (with varying degrees of success) a central focus on data and evidence to build a powerful machine slap bang in the centre of the government.
It's understood Sir Michael is going into No 10 with an "open brief".
But one insider questioned whether his trademarked approach of "deliverology" would recommend anything other than a very centralised approach. Another senior Whitehall official joked that this was just the latest ruse to try to solve "the classic Whitehall problem - 'the centre' thinks it's very powerful, departments know it's not".
British governments' bookshelves are overloaded with reviews and it could well be that Sir Michael's, to be completed through a contract with his company, Delivery Associates, a source suggests, ends up sitting on there alongside many others - their earnest recommendations read, then largely ignored.
But hiring him is a sign of an intention - that Boris Johnson's team wants to find ways of doing things better after the turmoil of the Covid pandemic, and it's confirmation too that the era of asking "weirdos and misfits" to help shake down Whitehall is done.

By Jarrett Renshaw
Jan 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Joe Biden plans to sign dozens of executive orders and send sweeping bills to Congress in his first days in office, aiming to roll back some of Donald Trump´s signature policies on immigration and climate change while taking action to ramp up the government's response to the coronavirus crisis.
Here is a list of what to expect, according to interviews with several of Biden's advisers, a review of campaign promises and a recent memo by the president-elect's incoming chief of staff Ron Klain.
COVID-19 CRISIS
* Seek a $1.9 trillion spending proposal aimed at accelerating the distribution of coronavirus vaccines while providing economic relief to millions of Americans hurt by the pandemic.
* Impose a mask-wearing requirement on all federal property, planes and buses.
* Extend relief on federal student loan payments and extend an eviction moratorium.
* Sign an executive order that helps schools and businesses reopen safely, expands coronavirus testing and establishes clearer public health standards.
* Direct federal agencies to take immediate action to deliver economic relief to working families bearing the brunt of the crisis.
* Return the United States to the World Health Organization. Trump withdrew from the agency, saying it failed to properly oversee the COVID-19 pandemic.
CLIMATE
* Bring the United States back into the Paris Climate Agreement, the global pact forged five years ago among nearly 200 nations to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Trump vowed in 2016 to pull the United States out of the agreement, making good on that promise in November 2020.
* Reimpose methane pollution limits for new and existing oil and gas operations repealed by Trump.
* Using the federal government procurement system - which spends $500 billion every year - to make facilities more reliant on clean energy and purchase zero-emissions vehicles.
* Ban new oil and gas permitting on public lands and waters, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
* Cancel the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, which would carry oil from Canada to the United States.
IMMIGRATION
* Repeal the ban on almost all travel from some Muslim-majority countries.
* Send to Congress a sweeping immigration bill that could legalize millions of immigrants living in the United States without legal permission.
* Reinstate the program allowing "Dreamers," people who were brought to the United States illegally as children, to remain in the country.
* Reverse Trump's policy that separated immigrant parents from their children at the border, including ending the prosecution of parents for minor immigration violations, and prioritize the reunification of any children still separated from their families.
* Reverse Trump´s more restrictive asylum policies, such as imposing additional restrictions on anyone traveling through Mexico or Guatemala and attempting to prevent victims of gang and domestic violence from receiving asylum.
* End Trump's National Emergency declaration that allowed him to shift federal funds from the Department of Defense to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
* Order an immediate review of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for vulnerable populations who cannot find safety in their countries ripped apart by violence or disaster.

A 29-year-old woman is facing charges after allegedly assaulting a woman on a flight because her children accidentally kicked the seat in front of them at Portland International Airport.
Court documents say Daydrena Jaslin Williams is facing charges fourth-degree assault and harassment for an incident that occurred at the airport.
According to court documents, a woman and her two kids - aged three and seven - were preparing to leave a Spirit Airlines plane when her children accidentally kicked the seat in front of them.
Ms Williams, who was sitting in front of the family, removed her carry-on luggage from the overhead bin, then struck the mother in the face, according to court documents.
Court documents state that a gate agent and flight attendant both saw Ms Williams strike the victim.
When Ms Williams spoke with officers, she said she was upset because the children kicked the back of her seat and that she told the victim "to tell her kids to stop it," court documents state.
Ms Williams also told officers the victim ignored her and then hit her on the shoulder, which made her angry.
When asked why she did not report to the flight crew that the woman had hit her, court documents state that Ms Williams said "her first reaction was to fight."
Officers told Ms Williams that witnesses did not see the victim hit her, to which Williams replied "you do what you got to do," according to court documents.
Court documents state Ms Williams admitted to officers that she hit the victim two to three times in the face.

LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - No more Premier League games should be postponed because of COVID-19 outbreaks if the season is to finish on schedule, according to Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho described England's top flight as "unprofessional" after Tottenham's home game against Fulham was postponed on Dec. 30 after a COVID-19 outbreak in the Fulham ranks.
His side will host Fulham on Wednesday -- a fixture slotted in at short notice after Tottenham's clash with Aston Villa was postponed after rising COVID cases at Villa.
Fulham manager Scott Parker said being given only 48 hours notice to prepare for the game was "scandalous" but Mourinho suggests clubs need to get on with it and stop being selfish.
"Do we want to finish the season or no? Do we want football to keep going or no? Do we want to be the only country in Europe without football or no?" Mourinho told reporters.
"Do we want to have a champion at the end of the season, a cup winner, with relegation, with Europe or not?
"If we are all very selfish and want the perfect situation for ourselves it's going to be very difficult for the Premier League to make it amazing for everyone, that's obvious."
Mourinho had scant sympathy for Fulham too, saying he expected them to be able to field a full-strength team.
"It's my feeling the best Fulham will be here tomorrow and when we see the best Fulham you know many things don't make sense," Mourinho said.
"We've played 11 more matches than Fulham this season, we have played three games every week, in one week four. Fulham played Saturday against QPR in London, they have Sunday, Monday, Tuesday to prepare.
"If they come tomorrow with half the team I will be the first to apologise and say we played with an advantage. If they come with their best team, I think they should apologise to us. Come on. Let's play football, let's protect our industry and our image and let's play football."

Did Neanderthals bury the dead? 41,000-year-old discovery may solve mystery

Is burying the dead a practice unique to Homo sapiens?
Or did other early humans such as Neanderthals lay their loved ones to rest under the earth?
It's a topic of long-standing debate among archaeologists.
Now, evidence of funerary behavior could shed light on the cognitive abilities and social customs of Neanderthals and whether, like modern humans, they were capable of symbolic thought.
Read more: New details revealed about preserved Neanderthal who fell down well
Dozens of buried Neanderthal skeletons have been discovered in Europe and parts of Asia over the course of 150 years.
The most well-preserved ones, however, were found at the beginning of the 20th century and weren't excavated using modern methods.
This has led to skepticism about whether Neanderthal burial practice was deliberate.
A new analysis of a 41,000 year-old skeleton of a Neanderthal child, found in a French cave in the 1970s, provides fresh evidence that the Stone Age hominins intentionally buried their dead.
French and Spanish researchers re-examined the remains using modern high-tech methods, re-excavated the original archaeological site where the bones were found in La Ferrassie, southwestern France, and reviewed the notebooks and field diaries from the original dig.
Their conclusion? The corpse of a two-year-old Neanderthal was deliberately laid in a pit dug in the sediment.
The absence of marks from carnivores who may have tried to scavenge an uncovered body and the fact that the bones were relatively unscattered with little weathering suggested that the body was rapidly covered, the researchers said.
The remains were also well preserved (better than the bones from animals found in the same layer of earth) despite belonging to a child.
Children's skeletons typically have more delicate bones.
The position of the skeleton also suggested the child had been placed there intentionally.
The head, which pointed to the east, was raised higher than the rest of the body even though the land inclined to the west.
"The origin of funerary practices has important implications for the emergence of so-called modern cognitive capacities and behaviour," the study said.
"These new results provide important insights for the discussion about the chronology of the disappearance of the Neanderthals, and the behavioral capacity, including cultural and symbolic expression, of these humans."
The researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research, the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris and the University of the Basque Country in Spain identified 47 bones belonging to the child's skeleton that hadn't been previously identified.
One piece of bone was carbon dated and found to be 41,000 years old.
Researchers confirmed the bone belonged to a Neanderthal by analysing the fragment's mitochondrial DNA.

The child was one of eight sets of skeletal remains found at the site.
Potential evidence of burial has also been found in one of the most famous Neanderthal sites, the Shanidar cave in Kurdistan, located in northern Iraq.
This site was home to the remains of 10 Neanderthal men, women and children.
They were found with ancient pollen clumps, suggesting that Neanderthals may have included flowers as part of their funeral rites.
More recent excavations of the Shanidar cave have turned up more Neanderthal remains, which early research has suggested were deliberately buried.
Other research has suggested that there was considerable diversity in how European Neanderthals treated their dead kin in the period immediately preceding their disappearance roughly 40,000 years ago - including cannibalism.
The team of researchers said today's analytical standards should be applied to the other skeletal remains at the La Ferrassie site to assess whether they too were buried.
The research was published in the journal Scientific Reports in December.

Un enregistrement des communications de l’équipage avec les contrôleurs aériens ne révèle que des dialogues de routine et aucun échange avant que le Boeing 737-500 de Sriwijaya Air plonge en mer.

Un enregistrement des communications de l’équipage avec les contrôleurs aériens ne révèle que des dialogues de routine et aucun échange avant que le Boeing 737-500 de Sriwijaya Air plonge en mer.
Les recherches continuaient, lundi 11 janvier, après le crash au large de l’Indonésie d’un Boeing transportant 62 personnes. L’équipage de l’appareil qui s’est abîmé en mer de Java samedi n’a pas envoyé de signal de détresse avant que l’avion tombe en mer, a indiqué un responsable de l’enquête, alors qu’une vaste opération de recherches impliquant quelque 2 600 sauveteurs et militaires a permis de localiser le signal de deux boîtes noires de l’appareil à 23 mètres de profondeur, que les plongeurs recherchent encore.
Un enregistrement des communications de l’équipage avec les contrôleurs aériens révèle des dialogues de routine et aucun échange avant que le Boeing 737-500 de Sriwijaya Air plonge en mer, de quelque 10 000 pieds en moins d’une minute, a indiqué Nurcahyo Utomo, enquêteur de l’agence indonésienne de sécurité des transports (NTSC). « C’est comme une conversation normale, et il n’y a rien d’inquiétant », a-t-il expliqué. « Il n’y a pas mention d’une situation d’urgence ou de quelque chose de ce type. » Les données préliminaires suggèrent que « très probablement » l’avion était encore intact quand il a touché l’eau. « Mais nous ne savons pas à ce stade ce qui a causé le crash », a insisté l’enquêteur.
Des images diffusées par la marine montrent un fond marin jonché de débris, où les secours ont repêché des morceaux de fuselage, mais aussi des restes humains. Ces derniers sont transférés vers un hôpital de la police, où des spécialistes cherchent à les identifier à l’aide d’échantillons d’ADN prélevés chez des proches des victimes. La police a dit avoir identifié une première victime lundi grâce à l’empreinte digitale d’une de ses mains, remontée à la surface. « L’équipe (…) a réussi à identifier l’une des victimes de l’accident, Okky Bisma ». Il s’agit d’un steward de 29 ans.
L’enquête pourrait durer des mois
L’enquête sur l’accident, le dernier en date d’une série de catastrophes aériennes en Indonésie, pourrait prendre des mois. Des spécialistes de l’aviation ont souligné que les données de vol indiquent que l’appareil a fortement dévié de sa trajectoire prévue avant de chuter brutalement de quelque 10 000 pieds (3 000 mètres) en moins d’une minute, avant de plonger dans la mer de Java.
Ils estiment que le mauvais temps – des pluies torrentielles avaient retardé le décollage –, des erreurs de pilotage ou un problème technique ont pu être des facteurs du drame. Stephen Wright, professeur de systèmes aéronautiques à l’université finlandaise de Tampere, relève que la vitesse relativement basse de l’avion était un signe d’alerte. « Il s’est passé quelque chose de dramatique après le décollage. »
La compagnie a bas prix Sriwijaya Air, qui dessert des destinations en Indonésie et en Asie du Sud-Est n’a pas donné d’informations sur ce qui a pu se passer dans cet appareil, vieux de vingt-six ans, exploité précédemment par Continental Airlines et United Airlines aux Etats-Unis. C’est le premier accident mortel impliquant Sriwijaya depuis les débuts de la compagnie, en 2003. L’avion de Sriwijaya n’appartient pas à la nouvelle génération controversée de Boeing 737 MAX, il s’agit d’un Boeing 737 « classique ».

Duisburg Der Auftritt des MSV Duisburg in Ingolstadt war ernüchternd. Disput zwischen Trainer Gino Lettieri und Kapitän Moritz Stoppelkamp.
Gino Lettieri brach nach der 1:2-Niederlage beim FC Ingolstadt 04 eine Lanze für seinen Kapitän. „Ein halber Stoppelkamp ist für uns noch immer so viel wert wie für andere ein ganzer Spieler“, sagte der Trainer des Fußball-Drittligisten MSV Duisburg nach der Partie. War es Lettieries Versuch, nach einem Disput mit Moritz Stoppelkamp während des Spiels die Wogen zu glätten?
Geisterspiele haben den Vor- und Nachteil – je nach Sichtweise der Betroffenen – dass ohne die Zuschauer-Geräuschkulisse das Geschehen ungefiltert auf die Tribüne und per Fernsehübertragung in die Wohnstuben gelangt.
Der MSV Duisburg bekam Stendera nicht in den Griff
So verhielt es sich auch beim Dialog zwischen Trainer und Kapitän Mitte der ersten Halbzeit. „Was ist denn jetzt mit dem Zehner? Der ist die ganze Zeit frei“, rief Moritz Stoppelkamp seinem Coach zu. Es folgten, darüber berichtete am Montag auch die Süddeutsche Zeitung, die Sätze: „Warum gehst du nicht auf meine Sache ein? Der macht das ganze Spiel bei denen.“
Der Zehner der Ingolstädter, Marc Stendera, legte kurze Zeit später zum 2:1-Führungstreffer der Schanzer, der dann auch der Siegtreffer sein sollte, auf. Damit hatte sich Stendera an diesem kalten Nachmittag zwei Assists verdient.
Nicht nur die Ausfälle schlagen beim MSV Duisburg ins Kontor
Der „halbe Stoppelkamp“ konnte trotz muskulärer Probleme im Gesäßbereich im Vorfeld der Partie durchspielen. Der Kapitän ging voran, setzte auf dem Platz mit seinem Einsatz die Signale, die im Abstiegskampf gefragt sind. Doch der 34-Jährige, der in der Hinrunde krankheitsbedingt mehrere Wochen fehlte, ist von seiner Bestform weiterhin noch ein großes Stück entfernt.
Das Spiel in Ingolstadt zeigte allerdings, dass es auch mit einem zu 100 Prozent fitten Moritz Stoppelkamp nicht getan sein wird. Auf wichtigen Positionen fehlt weiterhin die Qualität. Das ist auch den aktuellen Verletzungsproblemen geschuldet: Mit den Ausfällen von Max Jansen, Wilson Kamavuaka, Mirnes Pepic, Lukas Scepanik und zuletzt Connor Krempicki fehlen im Mittelfeldbereich wichtige Kräfte.
Aber nicht nur das: Weiterhin schlägt ins Kontor, dass der MSV im Sommer die Leistungsträger im Defensivverbund (Compper, Boeder, Albutat, Ben Balla) nicht adäquat ersetzen konnte. Mangelnde Qualität: Das flog den Zebras in dieser Saison schon mehrfach um die Ohren – nun auch in Ingolstadt.
MSV Duisburg nun mit drei Heimspielen in Folge
Die Konkurrenz rüstet während der gerade begonnenen Wintertransferperiode bereits auf. Dem MSV Duisburg sind weiterhin die Hände gebunden. Der Klub benötigt derzeit jeden Euro, um bis zum 21. Januar die Nachlizenzierung zu stemmen. Erst danach wird vielleicht etwas möglich sein. Es könnte für die Zebras eine existenzielle Entscheidung werden. Die soliden Vorstellungen vor Weihnachten mit einer entsprechenden Punktausbeute reichten für eine nachhaltige Trendwende bislang nicht aus.
Der Druck auf den MSV, der nun am Tabellenende steht, ist schon mit dem ersten Spiel im neuen Jahr gewachsen. Es folgen nun drei Heimspiele im Rahmen einer englischen Woche: gegen den SV Meppen, gegen den 1. FC Magdeburg und gegen den FC Hansa Rostock. Hier steht der MSV in der Pflicht.

[] |
WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump may be best remembered for his use of Twitter as a bully pulpit to stoke controversy or browbeat opponents, but the noise his tweets generated often distracted from the big policy changes he made over his four-year term.
During his rollercoaster presidency, the focus was often on what Trump was saying and not what on he was doing as he careened from one self-induced crisis to another. But a review of his policies shows that he had a real effect on people's lives in the areas of energy and environment, immigration, the judiciary, business and the economy, trade, and foreign policy, among others.
CHINA
The Trump administration put China´s rise in the spotlight and helped forge a bipartisan and increasingly adversarial U.S. view of the world´s second-largest economy.
From a raft of tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese imports to sanctions against top officials and a muscular use of penalties against top Chinese companies like Huawei, ZTE, SMIC and TikTok, Trump hit Beijing on a variety of fronts.
Some allies, however, have raised questions about the effectiveness of these measures and hope that President-elect Joe Biden, who has promised to be just as tough on China, will coordinate better with them to rein in Beijing.
Tensions have risen especially over the past year with Trump repeatedly blaming China for the coronavirus, which originated in the city of Wuhan.
The two global powers are increasingly at odds over a range of other issues, including Hong Kong, Taiwan and the South China Sea.
Biden has been vague about his plans for some of Trump's signature measures, it will be hard for him to dramatically unwind many of them, given the overwhelmingly bipartisan anti-China sentiment in the U.S. Congress.
ECONOMY
The U.S. economy under Trump had two distinct phases: pre-and post-COVID-19.
Before the coronavirus pandemic hit in March of 2020, unemployment had hit 50-year lows, wages were rising for lower-income jobs, and the gap between Black and white unemployment was narrowing.
The landmark tax bill Trump signed in late 2017 pushed economic growth over 3%, a Trump campaign promise, for a brief period.
Things could have been better, but an 18-month tariff war with China, which cost U.S. companies billions, was a drag on growth and jobs. It ended in early 2020 with a bigger trade deficit with China than when it began.
Three Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2019 helped blunt the impact. Taxpayers shelled out about $50 billion in subsidies to U.S. farmers in 2020 alone to make up for the loss in sales to China.
The pandemic, and the administration's failure to control it, risks leaving the economy scarred long after Trump leaves office. About 21 million jobs disappeared immediately, and 9 million of those still haven't come back. Millions more have had hours or pay reduced, or dropped out of the labor force altogether.
Meanwhile, the U.S. national debt jumped by nearly $7.8 trillion, to $27 trillion, as corporate tax revenue dropped and spending increased to counter the trade war and pandemic impacts.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Trump routinely dismissed scientific consensus that industry was causing global warming and gutted federal science agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Interior and interfered with their scientific advisory panels. He also boasted about removing the United States from the global Paris Agreement on climate change.
He styled himself as a friend of fossil fuels, courting coal workers and oil executives alike and made good on promises to ease costs for energy companies by rolling back more than 100 climate- and environment-related regulations.
While oil and gas companies praised corporate tax cuts, they grumbled about Trump´s trade war with China disrupting supply chains and jeopardizing demand for U.S. natural gas exports.
Many of Trump´s deregulation efforts were successfully challenged in court due to bureaucratic errors in rulemaking procedures.
Trump opened up a record number of acres on public lands to drilling and mining, including a last-minute auction for oil development permits in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge that attracted few bidders.
In his first weeks in office, Biden is expected to begin reversing some of Trump´s most prominent regulatory rollbacks, rejoin the Paris agreement and order every federal cabinet agency to identify who is in charge of combating climate change.
FOREIGN POLICY
Had Trump won the Nov. 3 election, America´s friends and foes were girding for a second four years, to borrow one of his favorite phrases, the likes of which the world had never seen. His election defeat deprived him of the chance to double down on his "America First" agenda, but the fallout is expected to linger.
Trump has upended some tenets of America´s post-World War Two foreign policy by questioning the NATO alliance, alienating European partners and indulging autocrats.
His disdain for multilateralism prompted withdrawals from accords and bodies, including the Iran nuclear deal and the World Health Organization. His treatment of U.S. allies has left Biden with shell-shocked friends and the challenge of restoring the United States as a champion of democracy.
Trump partially delivered on a campaign promise to bring troops home from "endless wars," but scaled-down forces remain in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Despite Trump's historic engagement with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he has made no progress in persuading Kim to give up his nuclear weapons.
Trump´s hard line on Iran has crippled its economy but not forced it back to the negotiating table, and Biden´s aides see the last-minute piling-on of sanctions by the Republican administration as an effort to box him in.
While Trump failed to achieve promised Israeli-Palestinian peace, he brokered deals to normalize relations between Israel and four Arab neighbors.
IMMIGRATION
Trump ended his presidency as he began it - with a laser-like focus on immigration.
"We got it done," Trump said, standing in front of a section of the 450 miles (724 km) of new and replacement border fence in Texas on one of the last days of his presidency.
The 18-30 foot-high steel fence is the most visible example of Trump's reshaping of the U.S. immigration system. He set up a multitude of new bureaucratic hurdles for immigrants seeking to enter or stay in the United States. Many of the measures were challenged in court and some were stopped by national injunctions.
Trump imposed a travel ban on a handful of Muslim-majority nations which was later expanded, slashed the U.S. refugee program and forced tens of thousands of asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for U.S. court hearings.
Trump's 2018 "zero-tolerance" policy to prosecute illegal border crossings led to several thousand children being separated from parents and legal guardians at the U.S.-Mexico border. He later reversed the policy but the parents of some 600 children have still not been located by advocates.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the administration imposed new restrictions that allow border officials to expel almost all migrants caught crossing the border and block the entry of many temporary foreign workers and applicants for green cards.
Biden plans to send a bill to Congress on Wednesday that lays out "a clear roadmap to citizenship" for some 11 million people living in the United States unlawfully. He has also said he will rescind the travel ban, end the program requiring asylum seekers to wait in Mexico and seek to reunite children separated from their parents.
JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS
Trump wasn't happy when judges he appointed ruled against his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, but his reshaping of the judiciary in a conservative direction is still one of his biggest legacies.
During his four years in office, he appointed three Supreme Court justices, the first time that has been done since President Richard Nixon appointed four in his first term. The court now has a rock-solid 6-3 conservative majority.
Trump can thank Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who made judicial nominations a priority, for his ability to appoint not just Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett but also dozens of lower court judges.
Trump appointed 54 judges to the influential appeals courts, just one fewer than his Democratic predecessor Barack Obama managed in eight years and almost a third of the total number.

Trump also named 174 district court judges, the lowest rung on the federal judicial ladder, making up about a quarter of the total number of judges now serving on those courts.
Biden will be able to make inroads on judicial appointments but opportunities are limited because there are few vacancies. He might get the chance to replace liberal Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court if the 82-year-old chooses to retire.
RACE RELATIONS
Trump saved some of his nastiest words for Black athletes kneeling to protest racial injustice, Black and Muslim women politicians who disagreed with him, and non-white immigrants and asylum seekers.
White nationalism, which has festered in the United States since its very start, bloomed under Trump. Propaganda and recruiting for anti-minority organizations jumped and hate crimes climbed. The Capitol riot on Jan. 6 may be just the beginning of more violent threats from white nationalists, terror experts say.
Trump policy took aim at Muslims specifically. The early "Muslim Ban" limited travelers from several Muslim-majority countries, while a domestic program tracking extremism was refocused https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-extremists-program-exclusiv/exclusive-trump-to-focus-counter-extremism-program-solely-on-islam-sources-idUSKBN15G5VO to only monitor Islamist threats, ignoring white nationalism.
Guidelines calling on colleges and universities to consider race to promote diversity, and encouraging public schools to use zoning and admissions into competitive schools and programs to tackle inequalities, were rolled back in 2018.
A September 2020 Executive Order forbidding federal agencies and government contractors from diversity training that included "divisive concepts" resulted in some stopping any training on gender or race altogether.
A notable exception, 2018's First Step Act, was the first major criminal justice reform in a decade. It reduced mandatory minimum sentences, and allowed some federal prisoners to finish their sentences early with good behavior.
The toxic relationship between some city police departments and their communities was highlighted by the 2020 death of George Floyd; a divided Congress couldn't pass a bill in response.
REGULATIONS
Trump came into office pledging to slash corporate red tape which he said stymied economic growth and hurt jobs.
At his administration's urging, the Republican-led Congress swiftly reversed 16 regulations on fair lending, corporate disclosures, and consumer privacy, among others, and eased banking industry rules introduced following the 2009 financial crisis, in a landmark legislative victory. Most of the action, however, came from Trump's regulators, which across the government took hundreds of deregulatory measures.
While advocacy groups and progressives slammed Trump´s deregulatory measures for hurting consumers or increasing systemic risks, the changes were rarely as radical as many had initially feared and in some cases even drew backing from Democrats sympathetic to the notion that small businesses would benefit from a lighter touch. Wall Street giants, for their part, won far fewer victories than they would have liked and in some cases found themselves at odds with Trump´s regulators. Despite the overarching pro-business flavor of Trump´s time in office, his Justice Department led the charge against Big Tech, setting in motion antitrust investigations against Apple, Amazon.com and Facebook, and suing Google for using its online heft to cripple rivals.
Trump´s team also loosened regulations on labor, allowed Corporate America to create more pollution, and was generally more welcoming of mergers and acquisitions. To a certain extent, the regulatory changes can be overturned, some very quickly, by the Biden administration. With Democrats in charge of the Senate and House, some Trump actions will be reversed under the Congressional Review Act, while new staff at regulators can rewrite some, and choose not to enforce others. But big corporate tie-ups, like T-Mobile´s purchase of Sprint, are unlikely to be undone.

Habertürk TV'de Eren Eğilmez'in moderasyonunu yaptığı gazeteci Nagehan Alçı, Gökhan Hacır ve Cem Küçük'ün sorularını yanıtlayan Saadet Partisi Genel Başkanı Temel Karamollaoğlu gündeme ilişkin konularla ilgili açıklamalarda bulundu.
Cumhurbaşkanı Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın Saadet Partisi Yüksek İstişare Kurulu Başkanı Oğuzhan Asiltürk'ü evinde ziyaret etmesiyle ilgili bir soruya yanıt veren SP Lideri Karamollaoğlu şöyle konuştu:
Bu ziyaretleri olumlu görüyoruz. Sayın Cumhurbaşkanının bütün liderleri ziyaret etmesi, bütün liderleri masa etrafında oturup konuşması daha makul neticelerin elde edilmesine vesile olur kanaatindeyim. Bu ziyaretleri olumlu görüyorum. Buradan ne çıkar? Onu şimdiden söylemek mümkün değil. Seçim süresi başladığı zaman, seçim sathi mailine girildiğinde konuşulması gereken bir konudur diye düşünüyorum. İttifaklar bir koalisyon değil. Bundan dolayı erkenden bir konuyu gündeme getirip, uzun uzadıya, hele de spekülatif yorumlar yapmanın doğru olmadığı kanaatindeyim. Başkanlık sistemine geçildikten sonra konu bütünüyle değişti. Başkanlık sisteminde tek kişi seçiliyor, etkili olan da o. Meclis'in hemen hemen hiçbir hükmü yok gibi. Meclis'te çoğunluğunuz varsa, seçilen Cumhurbaşkanının aldığı kararları sorgulayabilecek çoğunlukta ise bir dereceye kadar etkisi olabilir. Neticede Cumhurbaşkanının dediği dedik. Cumhurbaşkanlığı sistemi özellikle bir konu tartışılmasın diye. Avrupa'da, Amerika'da bizim gibi başkanlık sistemi var mı? Bu sistemle biz Cumhur İttifakı'nda yer alamayız. Bu sistem sorun meydana getiren sistem. Cumhurbaşkanı Anayasa değişikliği gündeme geldiğinde 'Oy verin göreceksiniz 1 günde problemler çözülecek' demişti. Türkiye'nin şu anda yönetim sistemi problemleri çözmüyor; büyümesine vesile oluyor. İktidarı hakikaten uyaracak bir gücü yok muhalefetin.
"YANLIŞ POLİTİKALAR DEĞİŞİRSE İTTİFAK YAPILABİLİR"
AK Parti'yle ittifak yapılabilir mi? Yapılabilir. Hangi şartlarda? Doğru bulmadığımız politikalarını değiştirmesi şartıyla. Biz ilkeler üzerinde duruyoruz. Sanki bizim tabanımız bir yere yönlendirilmeyi bekliyormuş vs. gibi intibaların doğru olmadığı kanaatindeyim. Siz tabanın elbette sesine kulak verirsiniz, ama esas olan bizim ilkelerimiz, prensiplerimiz, bu ülkenin yaşadığı sıkıntılardan kurtulabilmesi için hangi adımların atılması gerekir, bu noktadaki politikalar. Biz birinci mesele olarak Türkiye'de kavganın ortadan kalkması, kargaşanın kalkması, mutlaka diyalog ortamının oluşması gerekir dedik. Hemen arkasından adalet kamil manada sağlanmalıdır dedik. Cumhurbaşkanı kendi yönünden Türkiye'de adalet olduğunu söyleyebilir.
"TALEP GELMESİ HALİNDE KONUŞULUR"
Bu tarzdan talepler geldiği halde reddedilmesinin doğru olmadığını düşünüyorum. Ülkemizde ciddi problemler var. Adalet en önemli mesele. İçişleri Bakanı ile Adalet Bakanı arasında söz düellosu oldu. Niye oldu ben de şaşırdım. Adalet bağımsız mahkemeler tarafından ve kendisini bağımsız hisseden hakimler tarafından verilen kararlarla ortaya çıkar.

Von den heutigen Bund-Länder-Beratungen über das Vorgehen in der Corona-Krise ist eine weitere Verschärfung der Maßnahmen zu erwarten. Jubelnde, sich in den Armen liegende Fußballprofis auf dem Platz wirken dabei wie aus einer anderen Welt - doch ihre Verurteilung wäre weltfremd.
Man stelle sich vor, Holstein Kiel schmeißt den großen FC Bayern München im Elfmeterschießen aus dem DFB-Pokal - und dann: keine Jubeltraube, keine Umarmungen oder Triumph-Gesänge in der Kabine. Stattdessen: Stille. Maske auf, Abstand halten und ab nach Hause. Unvorstellbar.
Die Symbolwirkung feiernder Sportler ist in Zeiten immer schärferer Corona-Maßnahmen groß. Dass die Profis scheinbar in einer Parallelwelt unterwegs sind, ruft besorgte Politiker auf den Plan. "Kinder dürfen nicht Fußball spielen, während man in der Bundesliga so weitermacht, als wäre nichts gewesen - auch mit der Mutation, die jetzt im Spiel ist", sagte der saarländische Ministerpräsident Tobias Hans (CDU) dem Saarländischen Rundfunk.
Meyer: "Spiel und Training nicht so kritische Momente"
Nicht nur, dass der Vergleich hinkt, weil die Profis lediglich ihrem Beruf nachgehen, ohnehin verbirgt sich hinter dieser populistischen Äußerung wohl die Angst vor möglichem Wähler-Frust über die vermeintliche Sonderrolle des Profisports.
"Das Spiel und das Training sind gar nicht so die kritischen Momente", sagte Tim Meyer, Teamarzt der deutschen Nationalmannschaft und Autor des Hygienekonzepts der Deutschen Fußball Liga, dem Deutschlandfunk. "Es ist eher das Miteinander der Mannschaft: Umkleidekabinen, Duschen, Busse und ähnliches."
Fall Embolo hat fatale Symbolwirkung
Natürlich gibt es positive Corona-Fälle im Profisport, wie in allen anderen Bereichen des gesellschaftlichen Lebens auch. Manche sind sicherlich vermeidbar, durch die Einhaltung der Hygienekonzepte oder einfach gesunden Menschenverstand, wie das Beispiel Breel Embolo zeigt. Der Gladbacher Spieler war offenbar Gast einer von der Polizei aufgelösten illegalen Party.
Die Symbolwirkung ist fatal. Alle müssen sich an die Regeln halten. Nicht zuletzt Fußballprofis, die für viele Menschen eine Vorbildfunktion einnehmen. Die Embolo-Geschichte ist zu Recht ein Aufreger, sich umarmende Pokal-Helden sind es nicht.
Profisport fordert unvergleichliche Emotionen heraus - Jubeltrauben bei großen Siegen, tröstende Umarmungen bei bitteren Niederlagen. Wer ein stets Corona-konformes Verhalten von mit Adrenalin vollgepumpten Athleten fordert, fordert menschlich Unmögliches.

Manchester United's lack of philosophy an advantage in these chaotic times

Did Alex Ferguson have a “philosophy”? Perhaps, over the 39 years between him taking his first job at East Stirlingshire and him retiring in 2013, it is possible to pick out some essential principles, but fundamentally he changed according to circumstance. He did not formulate and then enact some grand theory of how football should be played; his greatest assets were his capacity to organise, to motivate and to evolve.
Yet recently, the assumption has been that managers must be philosophers: Pep Guardiola with his juego de posición, Jürgen Klopp and the German school of Gegenpressing, all the various followers of Vítor Frade and his theories of tactical periodisation. Since Ferguson’s final success in 2013, the only Premier League title not won by a philosopher-manager is Leicester’s in 2016 – and even they had a clearly defined way of playing.
That’s one of the reasons there has been such scepticism about Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who has no apparent philosophy beyond asking what Sir Alex would have done. But then, not having a philosophy, paradoxically, is the United way. When Noel Cantwell arrived at Old Trafford in 1960, he was appalled by how primitive the thinking at the club was. He had come from West Ham, where players would meet after training at an Italian cafe near Upton Park to discuss the latest trends and innovations. At United, training was a few weights, a few sprints, a bit of head tennis and an often violent kickabout on the cinder-strewn waste ground between the back of the stand and the railway fence.
Matt Busby spoke of his club’s pattern but as other managers – Harry Potts at Burnley, Bill Nicholson at Tottenham, Alf Ramsey at Ipswich, Don Revie at Leeds, Bill Shankly at Liverpool – began to see what could be achieved by a properly organised approach, by what was known at the time as “system football”, Cantwell was scathing about Busby’s attitude: “Give it to a red shirt? You don’t need a manager for that. How do you find a red shirt if you haven’t worked on it and talked about it?”
Yet United went on to win two league titles in that decade and, in 1968, the European Cup.
Busby’s pattern, it turned out, was good enough when you had, in Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best, three of the greatest players in the world. But what’s striking is what happened next. As Charlton aged, Law struggled with a knee injury and Best’s demons overwhelmed him, there was nothing to fall back on.
Busby retired in 1969 and everything rapidly fell apart. United were relegated in 1974, didn’t win another trophy until 1977 and didn’t win the league again until 1993. Without a guiding philosophy, United drifted. They are the most successful club in England with 20 league titles, but those successes have come under three managers: they, more than any other super‑club, seem reliant on having a great leader.
By contrast, Liverpool, United’s FA Cup opponents on Sunday, are the most philosophy-driven club in England. Kenny Dalglish, Joe Fagan and Bob Paisley all developed the principles laid down by Shankly, but the boot room ensured a basic theory of play endured. Earlier than most, Liverpool went to a back four and through the 1970s and 80s they dominated English and European football by pushing high, pressing and retaining possession.
What went wrong in the early 90s can be debated. The legacy of Hillsborough, clearly, took an awful toll and perhaps Graeme Souness was not the right choice to ensure continuity, but there were also seismic changes to the environment, in how the game was played and in its economics. The coming of the Premier League and satellite television opened up financial opportunities United proved far more adept at exploiting, while the introduction of the back-pass law made it harder to retain possession. Having a philosophy that had yielded almost constant success for years arguably hampered attempts to adjust to a changing world.
Three decades on, this season is being shaped by similar impulses.
Liverpool have the philosophy. Klopp stands at the forefront of the pre-eminent German model of the press. His style can even, just about, be seen as a modern development of the classic Liverpool style.
United, abroad in the wilderness that follows the retirement of a great manager, have ricocheted through disparate approaches, from old‑school British under David Moyes to possession-heavy Van Gaalism to José Mourinho’s low‑block periodisation to Solskjær’s Fergie revivalism.
Only over the past year or so has their squad begun to look even vaguely coherent, but they are still reliant on individuals. Bruno Fernandes has been exceptional since arriving from Sporting Lisbon at the end of last January, but the flipside of his 19 goals and 14 assists in 32 Premier League starts is that if he isn’t firing, United often aren’t creating. Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Marcus Rashford have produced flashes of genius, but while United are undeniably dangerous on the counter, the major doubt that remains over Solskjær is his capacity to formulate coherent attacking plans.
That was Liverpool’s great strength, pressing with intelligence and rigour and then, having won the ball back, having the organisation to take rapid advantage. That their front three are struggling – one goal in the past four games they have played together – is indicative not only of a dip in form on the part of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mané, but also of changes to the midfield forced by injuries at centre-back.
There is a curious sense that in the present bizarre circumstances, as the relentlessness of the schedule diminishes planning and recovery time and makes injuries more likely, the interconnectedness of Liverpool, usually such a strength, has made it harder to adapt.
At United, a club unwedded to a philosophy, the emphasis is far more on individuals and moments. The structures are less complex, the more traditional qualities of motivation and unity more important. That is contrary to the direction of most modern tactical thought, but this season it may prove an advantage.

Gladbeck. Der TV Gladbeck lässt die Leichtathletik-Hallensaison sausen. Nur eine Athletin der Blau-Weißen wird vielleicht an den Start gehen.
Die Leichtathleten des TV Gladbeck werden - möglicherweise von einer Ausnahme abgesehen - die Hallensaison sausen lassen. "Wir haben im Winter gar keine Ambitionen", so Heiner Preute, Leiter und Trainer der Leichtathletikabteilung im TVG, auf WAZ-Anfrage.
DLV plant im Winter nur zwei Deutsche Meisterschaften
Wegen der Corona-Pandemie plant der Deutsche Leichtathletik-Verband (DLV) ein äußerst überschaubares Angebot an Titelkämpfen.
Zum einen sollen am 20. und 21. Februar die Deutschen Meisterschaften in der Dortmunder Helmut-Körnig-Halle ausgetragen werden und zum anderen in knapp 14 Tagen die Mehrkampf-DM in Halle an der Saale - jeweils ohne Zuschauer.
DLV-Präsident Jürgen Kessing sagte zu leichtathletik.de: „In vielen Landesverbänden finden keine Meisterschaften statt. Zudem ist der Trainingsbetrieb vor allem im Nachwuchsbereich nur begrenzt möglich, weshalb auch keine Chancengleichheit besteht. Die ursprünglich in Sindelfingen vorgesehene Jugend-DM wurde vom Württembergischen Leichtathletik-Verband zurückgegeben. Auch was die Hallen-DM mit Winterwurf im Seniorenbereich betrifft, gibt es keinen Veranstalter, der die Titelkämpfe ausrichtet."
Alyssa Tagbo wird vielleicht bei der Mehrkampf-DM starten
An den Deutschen Mehrkampfmeisterschaften wird in Alyssa Tagbo vielleicht doch eine Blau-Weiße aus Gladbeck teilnehmen. Das Talent, das im vergangenen Sommer nach längerer Verletzungspause sein Comeback gegeben und bei der Jugend-DM in Vaterstetten in der Altersklasse U18 den fünften Platz belegt hat, befindet sich laut Preute aktuell in guter Form.
"Eventuell wird Alyssa in Halle im Fünfkampf starten", so der Medaillenschmied. Einen Auftritt von Neele Schuten, die Ende des vergangenen Jahres aus San Diego/USA, wo sie studiert hatte, zurückgekehrt ist, bei der DM in Dortmund schließt Preute dagegen aus.

Neele Schuten bereitet sich auf die Freiluftsaison vor
Schuten habe infolge der Corona-Lage in Kalifornien zuletzt kaum trainieren können. Die Deutsche Vizemeisterin 2019 über 100 Meter Hürden werde sich vielmehr wie die anderen Kaderathletinnen und Kaderathleten des TV Gladbeck konzentriert auf die Freiluftsaison vorbereiten.

Trump's legacy: A more divided America, a more unsettled world

By Matt Spetalnick, Andrea Shalal, Jeff Mason and Steve Holland
WASHINGTON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - When President Donald Trump delivered his inaugural speech on Jan. 20, 2017, he promised an end to "American carnage," a bleak and dysfunctional nation he had promised that he alone could fix.
Closing out his presidency exactly four years later, Trump leaves behind an even more polarized America, where thousands are dying daily from the COVID-19 pandemic, the economy is badly damaged and political violence has surged.
Trump didn´t create the bitter differences that have come to define American life. Still, he seized upon many of them as tools to build his power base, promising to uplift rural America and the broader working class he said had been neglected by the Washington establishment.
When thousands of his angry followers - the vast majority of them white - marched on Capitol Hill on Jan. 6, they rallied behind Trump´s false claims of a stolen election. The rioting that ensued left a police officer and four other people dead, dozens wounded and a nation shaken.
A major part of his legacy when he departs the White House on Wednesday is likely to be Americans more politically and culturally estranged from each other than they were when he took office.
At the heart of that divide, Trump´s opponents say, is race. Early in his presidency, he initially resisted denouncing white nationalists after a deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, fueling perceptions that he sympathized with their cause. His harsh rhetoric often worsened racial crises that flared over police killings of Black people on his watch.
"Sadly, he is the natural outcome of the history of divide and conquer," in American race relations, said Reverend William Barber, a prominent civil rights activist and co-chair of the Poor People´s Campaign, an anti-poverty, anti-racism movement that Martin Luther King helped organize in the 1960s. "The thing is, he just pushed it all the way."
Trump has repeatedly denied any racist animus.
His staunch supporters argue that he served as a corrective to prior administrations of both parties that let down the poor, the working class and rural regions that have struggled in recent decades. That base of support remains large - another likely legacy of the Trump era.
Alex Bruesewitz, an organizer for Stop the Steal, a pro-Trump group protesting the election results, said the president retains his appeal to working-class voters. "They felt like they were the forgotten men and women. And the president said, `You are forgotten no longer´," Bruesewitz said.
Trump´s refusal to concede defeat to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden, and his encouragement of his supporters to descend on the Capitol, mean his term is ending amid a swirl of untruths that millions of Republicans have taken to heart, creating a serious challenge for the new administration to win their trust.
The disorderly transfer of presidential power comes against the backdrop of the increased spread of a pandemic that Trump has downplayed, and mounting financial hardships from the deep recession spurred by it.
Keeping the country on edge, and prompting security lockdowns in Washington and state capitals, is concern that the pro-Trump mob´s siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6 could embolden far-right extremists to further violence.
"There has never been a presidency in modern times when America´s dysfunction has been so fully on display," said Aaron David Miller, a former State Department adviser to Republican and Democratic administrations who is now at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
White House spokesman Judd Deere rejected the notion that Trump´s legacy lay in tatters.
In a written statement to Reuters, Deere cited a list of what he considered Trump´s economic accomplishments, such as getting the country on the path to recovery and deregulatory moves, which have included loosened restrictions on auto emissions and oil drilling. He also argued that the president secured the border with Mexico, rebuilt U.S. military strength, brought some troops home and helped orchestrate development of a coronavirus vaccine in a matter of months.
"He leaves office having made America safer, stronger, more secure," Deere said.
He declined, in the statement, to address racism accusations against the president.
'AMERICA FIRST´
Trump did, in fact, deliver on a number of priorities for his Republican Party.
In partnership with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, he overhauled the U.S. judiciary, giving it a more conservative bent with the appointment of three Supreme Court justices and the fast-tracking of more than 200 federal judges.
Trump pushed through massive tax cuts for corporations. The economy expanded faster than it had under predecessor Barack Obama, and unemployment reached record lows.
But the solid economy, which he hoped would be his biggest re-election selling point, was swept away in a wave of coronavirus-driven shutdowns that plunged the country into the worst downturn in nearly a century as joblessness soared. The national debt, which had ballooned during his term, grew even more in his final year.
Trump catered to his base by cracking down on illegal immigration, but critics condemned his approach as too harsh. Biden plans to reverse much of it, including a travel ban on a handful of Muslim-majority nations. Erecting a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border was a signature pledge of his 2016 campaign. Less than half of the 1,000 miles he promised was built, much of it where existing barriers stood - and Mexico never paid for it as Trump had vowed.
Abroad, Trump often invoked his "America First" agenda. He dismantled or disrupted multilateral pacts, withdrawing from the Paris climate accord, which committed nearly every nation to cut greenhouse gas emissions; and the Iran nuclear deal, which eased sanctions in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program. His administration eroded bedrock alliances like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, antagonized traditional partners and indulged autocrats such as Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
But Trump has been credited by Republicans as well as many Democrats for a tougher stance on China. He slapped tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese imports, sanctioned top officials over a crackdown in Hong Kong and imposed penalties on Chinese telecommunications companies. His administration faced some criticism, however, for provoking a trade war with Beijing and reverting to Cold War-style rhetoric.
Trump has also won praise for brokering historic accords to normalize relations between Israel and four once-hostile Arab neighbors. And he reduced U.S. forces in conflict zones such as Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, though he failed to completely extract America from "endless wars" as he promised in his 2016 campaign.
"Trump did accomplish some useful things," Richard Haass, a former senior State Department official who is president of the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote on the think tank´s website. He deserves credit, Haass said, "for moving the U.S. policy vis-à-vis an increasingly repressive, powerful, and assertive China in a more sober, critical direction."
But what the president got right, Haass added, was "dwarfed by what Trump got wrong," citing foremost "the damage he has done to American democracy."
FRINGE SUPPORTERS
Trump´s political strength stemmed, in part, from his ability to pose as a populist champion to tap into white rural and working-class resentment that has been building for years, as the United States became a more multiracial society and their communities felt the brunt of globalization, analysts say.
Some far-right fringe groups have also flocked to Trump´s banner. Rioters who gathered at the Capitol included some of the more extreme elements of his base, including members of QAnon, who espouse a debunked conspiracy theory that claims Trump is fighting a Democratic cabal of Satan-worshipping pedophiles and cannibals.
"Trump built a coalition out of white supremacists, conspiracy theorists and bigots," said Douglas Brinkley, presidential historian at Rice University in Houston.
Trump has denied any affinity for such groups or welcoming them into his fold. "I´m the least racist person you´ll find anywhere in the world," he insisted in 2019.
Accusations against Trump of xenophobia extended to his immigration policies. One White House official told Reuters on condition of anonymity that it was a "fiasco" when the administration in 2018 separated several thousand children - including infants - from their undocumented parents at the Mexican border. Images of crying youngsters crowded into chain-link pens were beamed worldwide.
While some Trump supporters have turned away from him since the assault on the Capitol, most appear to be sticking with him. Seventy percent of Republicans remain loyal to Trump, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling done in the immediate aftermath of the siege. Many activists say they´re willing to abandon the party for any perceived slight against their leader.
"I see Trump as a fighter for the people that actually work and put the backbone into this country," said Will Williams, a Trump supporter from Oklahoma. "His legacy will be remembered by me as a great man that took on the corruption in this country."
Trump´s invocation of "American carnage" at his own inauguration, painting what many Democrats considered an overblown dystopian vision, was an appeal to that base and also to the urban poor. He said their dreams had been stifled by economic distress, crime, drugs and loss of jobs to other countries.
Opponents say Trump, a wealthy former real estate developer, did little to help them. He sought repeatedly to kill the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, which helped millions of Americans get health insurance. His tariffs war with China hurt American farmers and didn´t trigger the U.S. manufacturing revival he had promised. And his tax cuts mainly benefited the rich.
REPUBLICAN SOUL-SEARCHING?
As Trump heads out the door as the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice, most recently on a charge of inciting the Capitol riot, the Republican Party's future is deeply uncertain.
Trump remade it in his image, replacing traditional conservative principles of fiscal austerity and commitment to international alliances with large deficits, his "America First" approach and a habit of frequently issuing policy shifts and trial balloons by Twitter. He demanded unwavering loyalty and turned on anyone who opposed him.
Now that Republicans find themselves relegated to the opposition in the Senate, the question is whether Trump´s spell over the party - and "Trumpism" as a viable movement - will endure when he no longer wields the levers of government power.
Trump´s base remains a potent electoral force. It handed him more votes - some 74 million - than any Republican in history. Fear of antagonizing them was evident when nearly half of Republican House members, fresh off the mob attack that had sent them scuttling for cover in the Capitol basement, endorsed a failed effort to block certification of Biden´s victory.
But some cracks have formed in Republican ranks in response to the Capitol mayhem, and the party may be in for a period of soul-searching.
Trump´s own political future could be in jeopardy as well. If convicted by the Senate in an impeachment trial that would occur after he leaves the White House, Trump could be banned from holding office again.
Bob Corker, a former Republican senator from Tennessee, said Trump had been a "consequential president" in terms of enacting many policies Republicans wanted. "But in the process of being purposely divisive and perpetuating untruths" about the election, "he undermined our democracy," Corker told Reuters.
Corker said the Republican Party needs "to go in a direction not led by him. We´ve got to redefine who we are."

Jan 19 (Reuters) - The European Union wants to set up a mechanism that would allow the sharing of surplus COVID-19 vaccines with poorer neighboring states and Africa, the EU health chief said, in a move that may undercut a WHO-led global scheme.
DEATHS AND INFECTIONS
* Eikon users, see COVID-19: MacroVitals https://apac1.apps.cp.thomsonreuters.com/cms/?navid=1592404098 for a case tracker and summary of news.
EUROPE
* The EU's executive has warned this month that national plans so far for spending a record 1.8 trillion euros from the bloc's joint coffers were too poor to fly, sources told Reuters.
* German Chancellor Angela Merkel wants to extend restrictions until Feb. 15 and make medical masks obligatory on public transport and in shops, according to a draft resolution.
* An estimated 1 in 8 people in England had antibodies against the coronavirus during December, suggesting they have had COVID-19 previously, and the UK health secretary says he is self-isolating.
* A second wave of infections and tougher measures to limit the spread will slow economic recovery in Sweden and Norway this year, a Reuters poll of economists suggested.
ASIA-PACIFIC
* China is battling the worst outbreak since March 2020, with one province posting a record daily cases increase, as an independent panel said China could have acted more forcefully to curb the initial outbreak.
* Thailand's government defended its vaccine strategy against opposition criticism that it is too reliant on a company owned by King Maha Vajiralongkorn.
* Kazakhstan plans to vaccinate about 6 million people, or almost a third of its population, this year.
* Taiwan canceled a major festival during the upcoming Lunar New Year holiday, while Hong Kong will extend work-from-home arrangements for civil servants until Jan. 27.
AMERICAS
* U.S. President-elect Joe Biden plans to quickly extend travel restrictions barring travel by most people who have recently been in much of Europe and Brazil soon after President Donald Trump lifted those requirements effective Jan. 26.
* Brazil kicked off a nationwide COVID-19 immunization program on Monday by distributing doses of a vaccine from China's Sinovac Biotech, although the pace of vaccination will depend on delayed imports.
* Colombia's capital Bogota will impose nightly curfews for almost two weeks, its mayor said, while the whole city will enter yet another full quarantine this weekend.
MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA
* More than 2,600 Nigerian physicians have contracted COVID-19 and dozens have died, said the chairman of the Lagos branch of the Nigerian Medical Association, while medics await vaccines.
* The Palestinian Authority could receive Russia's Sputnik V vaccine within days, a PA official said.
* Rwanda has re-introduced tough lockdown measures in its capital Kigali after a surge in cases.
MEDICAL DEVELOPMENTS
* Previous infection may offer less protection against the new variant first identified in South Africa, scientists said, although they hope that vaccines will still work.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
* Global shares climbed and the dollar eased ahead of Janet Yellen's Treasury Secretary confirmation speech, in which she is expected to bolster the case for heavy fiscal stimulus in the world's largest economy.
* Japan's biggest business lobby shrugged off calls for wage hikes as it braced for key spring salary negotiations with unions, calling blanket pay rises "unrealistic" as companies are hit by the pandemic, officials said.
* Thailand approved about $7 billion cash handouts to boost consumption and help alleviate the impact of a recent spike in cases.
* Oil demand recovery will take a hit from a spike in new coronavirus cases before vaccine roll-outs and stimulus measures help in the second half of the year, the International Energy Agency said.

Handball-WM in Ägypten: Gute Sache oder falsches Signal?

Kreis Olpe. In den unteren Handball-Ligen ist die Saison 2020/21 längst unterbrochen, kaum dass sie angepfiffen worden ist. Keiner weiß, wie es weitergeht.
|
Kreis Olpe. In den unteren Handball-Ligen ist die Saison 2020/21 längst unterbrochen, kaum dass sie angepfiffen worden ist. Keiner weiß, wie es weitergeht.
Im Jugendbereich wurde der Meisterschaftsbetrieb sogar komplett abgesagt. Die Vereine im Handballkreis Lenne-Sieg versuchen mit virtuellen Wettkämpfen zu retten, was vielleicht nicht mehr zu retten ist.
Und in dieser für die allermeisten Handballer deprimierenden Corona-Situation steht in Ägypten ab dem 13. Januar die umstrittene Weltmeisterschaft vor der Tür. Die deutschen Nationalspieler Patrick Wiencek, Hendrik Pekeler, Steffen Weinhold und Finn Lemke haben Bundestrainer Alfred Gislason aus persönlichen Gründen für die WM abgesagt. Was sagen Handballverantwortliche aus dem Kreis Olpe zu einer WM in Zeiten von Corona? Wir haben uns umgehört.
Die Befürworter
Uwe Schmidt ist überzeugt, dass „die Weltmeisterschaft dem Handball guttut, gerade in einer Zeit, in der außer Fußball und Wintersport nichts geboten wird“. Der Abteilungsleiter Handball beim TV Olpe ist „ganz froh über die Medienpräsenz“ seines Sports in den nächsten Wochen. Gesundheitliche Gefahren „für die Allgemeinheit“ sieht Schmidt nicht, auch wenn im begrenzten Maße Zuschauer in den WM-Hallen zugelassen werden sollen.
Wenn es nach Uwe Schmidt geht, könnte auch in Olpe „morgen wieder Handball gespielt werden“. Die Schutzmaßnahmen in der Halle hätten sich bewährt. Man müsse verhindern, dass sich Spieler und Zuschauer vermengen. Aber auch beim Landesligisten TVO war nach zwei Spieltagen schon wieder Schluss. Die WM-Absagen von Wiencek und Co. akzeptiert der Abteilungsleiter. Sie seien emotional zu verstehen, weniger sachlich. So verweist Schmidt darauf, dass die deutschen Nationalspieler in den letzten Monaten national und international ständig unterwegs gewesen sind. Das Risiko bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Ägypten schätzt der Kreisstädter „nicht größer“ ein.
Viel mehr Sorgen macht sich Uwe Schmidt um den heimischen Handballsport, vor allem den Jugendbereich. Da befürchtet der 60-Jährige durch die Corona-Pausen „eine Katastrophe“ und stellt die Frage: „Kommen die Kinder wieder, wenn die Hallen wieder offen sind?“
Reinhard Thiedemann kann die Spieler verstehen, die abgesagt haben. „Das sind zum Teil Familienväter mit kleinen Kindern“, gibt das Handball-Urgestein zu bedenken. Auf die WM und die Spiele der deutschen Nationalmannschaft freut sich der 71-Jährige, der bis zu seinem 65. Lebensjahr noch in der dritten bzw. zweiten Mannschaft der HSG Lennestadt/Würdinghausen aktiv war. Die Nichtteilnahme der Kieler Patrick Wiencek, Hendrik Pekeler, Steffen Weinhold und anderer bedauert Thiedemann, sieht „andererseits die Chance für Spieler aus der zweiten Reihe, sich zu zeigen“.
Der Champion-League-Sieg des THW Kiel war für Reinhard Thiedemann, dem neben dem Handball vor allem das Tennis spielen fehlt, „das Highlight des Sportjahres“. Jetzt soll mit der Weltmeisterschaft in Ägypten der nächste Leckerbissen folgen. „Ich hätte nicht für eine Absage plädiert. Die Australian Open sollen ja auch stattfinden“, betont Thiedemann. Er kann aber auch die kritischen Stimmen nachvollziehen. Letztendlich sei es eine Abwägungssache. „Ein Restrisiko bleibt immer. Das ist eine persönliche Entscheidung der Spieler.“
Für Christof Heimes ist es „schwer zu beurteilen, wie die Situation in Ägypten ist“. Aber als Handballer ist der Trainer der Landesligaherren der SG Attendorn/Ennest froh, dass seine Sportart bei der WM im Fernsehen präsentiert wird. „Das ist ein zweischneidiges Schwert“, beschäftigt sich Heimes auch mit den Argumenten der WM-Kritiker. „Aus rein sportlichen Gründen und im Sinne des Handballs“ spricht er sich aber für die Austragung des Weltturniers aus. Eine solche Großveranstaltung sei in den bleiernen Zeiten von Corona auch eine „Abwechslung“, wie die Geisterspiele in der Fußball-Bundesliga, die sich Heimes anschaut.
Christof Heimes hofft auf einen „Klebeeffekt für junge Handballer“, die ihre Sportart auf höchstem Niveau verfolgen können. In Sachen Meisterschaft ist der SG-Coach skeptisch. „Ich glaube nicht, dass wir vor März auf die Idee kommen können, wieder anzufangen.“ Eine Vorbereitungszeit von vier Wochen sei das „absolute Minimum“.
Trotz der vielen Ausfälle traut Heimes der deutschen Mannschaft eine Überraschung zu und verweist auf den EM-Sieg vor vier Jahren, als auch einige Leistungsträger fehlten.
Der Neutrale
Klaus Kraß ist hin- und hergerissen und „kann beide Seiten verstehen“. Auf der einen Seite freut sich der Vorsitzende des Handballkreises Lenne-Sieg und Trainer der HSG Lennestadt/Würdinghausen darauf, „die Weltmeisterschaft am Fernseher sehen zu können“. Auf der anderen Seite sieht er die gesundheitlichen Risiken und „hofft, dass alles gut geht“. Für die deutschen Spieler, die für Ägypten abgesagt haben, hat er „totales Verständnis“. Kraß: „Das ist absolut in Ordnung. Die Gesundheit sollte vorgehen.“ Der erfahrene Handballer versteht aber auch den Deutschen Handballbund (DHB), der aus „finanziellen Gründen“ teilnehmen müsse.
Große Sorgen macht sich der Kreisvorsitzende um die Auswirkungen von Corona für seinen Sport. „Die Jugendlichen haben schon ein Jahr keinen Handball mehr gespielt. Ich glaube jetzt schon, dass die Pandemie unseren Handball riesengroß trifft.“ Dabei verweist Klaus Kraß auf den TuS Ferndorf, das Aushängeschild des Handballkreises Lenne-Sieg. Der Zweitligist musste schon mehrfach mitten im Meisterschaftsbetrieb in Quarantäne. „Da blutet mir das Herz. Aber es geht nicht anders“, sagt Kraß.
Die Gegenstimmen
Die Meinung von Jörg Menzel zur Handball-WM in Ägypten ist eindeutig. „Ich halte gar nichts davon.“ Für den Geschäftsführer der SG Attendorn/Ennest und Mädchenwart des Handballkreises ist eine solche Großveranstaltung in Zeiten von Corona „das falsche Signal“. Menzel: „Wir müssen zusehen, dass die Kinder bei der Stange bleiben und die dürfen spielen. Und das in einer Zeit, wo alles wieder runtergefahren wird.“ Die deutschen WM-Spiele will sich Handballfan Menzel aber anschauen, wie schon die beiden EM-Qualifikationsspiele gegen Österreich.
Im Handballkreis ist Menzel gerade dabei, eine virtuelle Spielrunde aufzubauen. Ein Server sei angemietet und eingerichtet worden. Der Attendorner weiß, dass dies kein Ersatz für das Training und Spielen in der Halle ist. Aber wenigstens „ein bisschen Wettkampfgefühl“ wolle man dem Nachwuchs vermitteln. „Wir müssen die Kinder beschäftigen, ansonsten verlieren wir sie für den Handballsport“, mahnt Jörg Menzel und ist überzeugt: „Wir sehen uns nicht vor Mitte März in der Halle wieder.“
Eine klare Meinung zur Handball-WM hat Volker Garus. „Die Weltmeisterschaft hätte eigentlich abgesagt werden müssen“, betont der Trainer der Bezirksligadamen des TuS 09 Drolshagen. Bereits die Austragung der Frauen-EM hat Garus nicht verstanden. Für die Entscheidung von Patrick Wiencek und Co., aus persönlichen Gründen auf das Turnier zu verzichten, hat der TuS-Coach Respekt. „Ich hätte wohl auch abgesagt.“ Die Begegnungen mit deutscher Beteiligung will sich Volker Garus anschauen, weil er „die neuen Spieler sehen möchte“.
Zum letzten Mal stand Garus mit seinen Handballerinnen „Anfang November“ in der Sporthalle. „Wir haben gerade angefangen und mussten schon wieder aufhören.“ Seitdem halten sich die Spielerinnen mit individuellem Lauftraining und den üblichen Challenges fit. „Es kribbelt wieder in den Händen“, fehlen nicht nur Drolshagens Coach das Training und der Wettkampf. Ausdrücklich lobt Volker Garus, in der zweiten Saison Trainer beim TuS 09, das Engagement des Vereins im Jugendbereich. Wie viele andere kann er nur hoffen, „dass die jungen Spielerinnen und Spieler bei der Stange bleiben“.

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Professional sport demands finding an extra edge wherever you can, but the goalkeeper coach of Zambia Super League side Forest Rangers crossed a line that has led to his suspension pending a disciplinary hearing by the country's football association.
Charles Chileshe was sanctioned after being accused of unsporting conduct in the action of "sprinkling an unknown substance in goal and urinating or simulation of urinating against one of the goalposts" ahead of Saturday's game at Prison Leopards, a statement from the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) said.
Chileshe was further accused of acting "in a manner that is not consistent with the values and integrity of football as espoused by FIFA, CAF and FAZ".
Rangers also said in a statement that they had taken unspecified disciplinary action against Chileshe.
The use of 'muti', the belief that certain ritual actions can help with success on the pitch, is not uncommon on the African continent, but whatever Chileshe was trying to achieve did not work this time. His side were beaten 2-0 by Leopards.
Rangers also lost the league title on the final day of last season when they needed victory over mid-table Zanaco to claim the crown, but were held to a 0-0 draw at home.
The incident follows accusations of "witchcraft" from Zimbabwe coach Zdravko Logarusic at the African Nations Championship in Cameroon after a dead bat was found on the halfway line prior to kickoff of Saturday's tournament opener against the hosts. Zimbabwe lost 1-0. (Reporting by Nick Said Editing by Christian Radnedge)

Wechsel geplatzt! Fischer nicht zurück nach Langenholthausen

Langenholthausen Die Hoffnungen auf eine Rückkehr des Abwehrspielers waren groß. Doch in letzter Sekunde funkt ein Ligarivale dazwischen.

Langenholthausen Die Hoffnungen auf eine Rückkehr des Abwehrspielers waren groß. Doch in letzter Sekunde funkt ein Ligarivale dazwischen.
Fußball-Landesligist TuS Langenholthausen handelt sich eine Absage ein: Philip Fischer, von der Mayer-Elf als Winterzugang anvisiert, schließt sich ab sofort dem Ligarivalen Rot-Weiß Lüdenscheid an.
Fischer, dessen Bruder Falk das Trikot der Mannschaft vom Düsterloh trägt, sollte die in der Hinrunde häufig wacklige Abwehr der Langenholthausener verstärken und auf der Außenbahn noch für weiteren Druck nach vorne sorgen.
Nach Landesligaaufstieg gewechselt
Philip Fischer wechselte im Sommer 2019 nach dem Landesligaaufstieg zum damaligen Westfalenligisten SG Finnentrop/Bamenohl mit der er nach dem Abbruch in der Corona-Saison in die Oberliga aufstieg. Dort kam er jedoch kaum zum Zug und bat um die Freigabe. Fischer wohnt in Werdohl, wo auch die FSV um den Abwehrspieler buhlte." Philip arbeitet in Lüdenscheid und ist der Aufwand für ihn kleiner, wenn er dorthin wechselt. Es hat sich jetzt so ergeben", sagt Uli Mayer, Trainer des TuS Langenholthausen, der über den geplatzten Wechsel keine bösen Worte verliert. "Das ist völlig in Ordnung so. Er musste eine Entscheidung treffen und die sieht jetzt so aus. Für uns ist das okay", betont der Müscheder.
Die Verantwortlichen aus Langenholthausen halten weiter die Augen nach Alternativen offen, stehen aber nicht unter Zugzwang. "Es wäre schön gewesen, wenn Philip gekommen wäre, weil wir ihn kennen und er uns. Er hätte uns sofort weitergeholfen. Aber zum Glück haben wir auf der Position des linken Verteidigers keine große Not. Wir sind da mit Dominik Guntermann, Patrick Kaminski und Alex Arf sehr gut aufgestellt", erklärt Mayer.
Bislang ein Zugang
Mit Torben Ochs (Sportfreunde Hüingsen) hat der TuS Langenholthausen bereits einen Winterzugang mit defensiver Einstellung verpflichtet, Torhüter Sebastian Beutler vom Schwerter Bezirksligist Geisecker SV steht ebenfalls auf dem Wunschzettel, der noch vor dem Re-Start zum Balver Landesligisten zurückkehren soll. Dieser Transfer ist jedoch noch nicht abgeschlossen. Beutler verließ, ebenso wie Ochs, erst im Sommer die Grün-Weißen.

Mülheim. Die Kaderplanung von Blau-Weiß Mintard läuft weiter auf Hochtouren. Einer der jüngsten Akteure, der im Sommer aus Essen kam, hat verlängert.
Einem seiner jüngsten Spieler schenkt der Fußball-Landesligist Blau-Weiß Mintard auch in der kommenden Spielzeit das Vertrauen und macht damit die zehnte Verlängerung mit einem Spieler aus dem aktuellen Kader perfekt.
Ben Kastor wird auch in der Saison 2020/21 das Trikot der Mülheimer tragen.
Mintard ist vom Neuzugang aus Essen begeistert
Als Kapitän und Top-Torjäger kam Ben Kastor (19) im Sommer aus der A-Jugend der Essener SG 99/06 nach Mintard. In immerhin sechs Spielen konnte er sein Potenzial bereits andeuten.
„Er zeigte bei seinen Einsätzen immer wieder, was für ein Riesenpotenzial in ihm steckt. Wenn er weiter hart arbeitet und Konstanz in sein Spiel bringt, werden wir noch viel Freude an ihm haben“, glaubt der Sportliche Leiter Marco Guglielmi.
Der 19-Jährige freut sich über das ihm entgegengebrachte Vertrauen. „Ich hoffe darauf, dass wir bald wieder auf den Platz können und die jetzige Meisterschaft zu Ende zu

BEIRUT, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Lebanon's central bank governor Riad Salameh said on Tuesday that all allegations about money transfers by him, his brother or his assistant are "fabrications and false news."
The Central Bank issued the statement after Lebanon's justice minister said she had received a request by Swiss judicial authorities for cooperation and a government official confirmed there was a European inquiry into money transfers by Salameh.

Mülheim/Doha. Der Mülheimer Mats Moraing spricht nach der Quali zu den Australian Open über die Niederlage, seinen Fitnesszustand und die nächsten Turniere.
Mit einer Niederlage ist Mats Moraing ins neue Tennisjahr 2021 gestartet. Er unterlag in Doha (Katar) dem Dänen Mikael Torpegaard in der ersten Qualifikationsrunde für die Australian Open mit 1:6 und 0:6.
Trotz der Schlappe in nur 46 Minuten blickt der Mülheimer Tennisprofi optimistisch voraus.
Mats Moraing, hatten Sie sich im Match gegen Mikael Torpegaard mehr ausgerechnet?
Auf jeden Fall! Schließlich hatte ich ihn auch schon einmal besiegen können. Aber ich habe mich auf dem Platz einfach nicht gut gefühlt. Wahrscheinlich lag es an der mangelnden Vorbereitung mit anschließender Reha.
Sie mussten im Herbst 2020 operiert werden. Was war los?
Wie im Jahr zuvor — nur dieses Mal am anderen Fuß — musste ein Stück vom Knochen, der auf die Sehne und den Nerv drückte, entfernt werden. Das war Ende September. Dann folgte die Reha bis Ende November/Anfang Dezember, ehe ich wieder Schritt für Schritt ins Training einsteigen konnte. Jetzt konnte ich aber schmerzfrei spielen. Es geht aufwärts.
Was steht in den kommenden Wochen an?
Erst einmal fliege ich nach Hause und werde dort trainieren. Aufgrund von Corona sind leider schon die ersten Challengerturniere des Jahres in Frankreich abgesagt worden, manche stehen auf der Kippe. Ich hoffe, dass ich ab Mitte Februar wieder an Challengern teilnehmen kann.

JOHANNESBURG, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Vedanta Resources has agreed to settle all claims brought against it by Zambian villagers following pollution by a copper mine run by Konkola Copper Mines Plc (KCM), Vedanta and law firm Leigh Day said on Tuesday.
The claim, centring on pollution from the Nchanga Copper Mine, was brought by more than 2,500 Zambian villagers against KCM - Zambia's biggest private employer - and its UK-based parent company Vedanta Resources.
"Without admission of liability, Vedanta Resources Limited and Konkola Copper Mines Plc confirm that they have agreed, for the benefit of local communities, the settlement of all claims brought against them by Zambian claimants represented by English law firm Leigh Day," Vedanta said in the joint statement.
The settlement amount was not disclosed.
The Zambian claimants, including more than 600 children, alleged toxic discharge from the Nchanga mine damaged land and waterways, and were seeking damages, remediation and the cessation of the alleged pollution.
Britain's Supreme Court ruled in 2019 that the case could be brought against Vedanta in the English courts because the company owed villagers a duty of care. (Reporting by Helen Reid in Johannesburg, Editing by Barbara Lewis)

Siegerländer Fußball-Trainer nehmen Stellung zur Saisonfortsetzung und einem ins Gespräch gebrachten 14-tägigen Vorbereitungs-Zeitraum.
|
Siegerländer Fußball-Trainer nehmen Stellung zur Saisonfortsetzung und einem ins Gespräch gebrachten 14-tägigen Vorbereitungs-Zeitraum.
Wie geht es weiter im Amateur-Fußball? In Anbetracht hoher Infektionsraten und eines nur schleppend in Gang kommenden Impf-Geschehens eine eher nebensächliche Frage. Es gibt sicherlich dringendere Dinge. Aber: Fußball ist eben die schönste Nebensache der Welt. Und die, die es lieben, dem Ball hinterher zu jagen oder Sonntag für Sonntag am Rande "ihres" Platzes zu stehen und die heimischen Mädchen oder Jungs anzufeuern, können es kaum erwarten, wieder mittendrin zu sein. Eine echte Perspektive, wie es in dieser Corona-Saison weiter geht, gibt es aber nicht.
Termin-Visionen, wie sie der westfälische Verband in Kaiserau aufstellt, dienen eher als Hoffnungsschimmer denn als konkrete Planungs-Vorschläge. Fakt ist derzeit nur, dass am 30. Juni mindestens 50 Prozent der Spiele - also eine einfache Runde - gespielt sein müssen, um eine Wertung nach der Quotientenregelung vornehmen zu können. Die Frage, wann es wieder los geht, beschäftigt jeden, lässt ich aber nun mal nicht beantworten.
Der Vorschlag, den der für den Amateurfußball zuständige Verbands-Vizepräsident Manfred Schnieders in den Raum gestellt hat, nämlich mit einer 14-tägigen Vorbereitungszeit ins Wettkampf-Geschehen zurückzukehren, wirft einiges an Diskussionen auf. Wir haben uns umgehört bei Trainern, um deren Meinung dazu einzuholen. Fazit: Alle angesprochenen Übungsleiter schätzen eine Zeitspanne von lediglich zwei Wochen Vorbereitung nach einer so langen Spielpause als zu kurz ein.
Stefan Schwarz (SV Netphen)
Ein Verfechter einer ganz anderen Vorgehensweise ist Stefan Schwarz, Trainer des A-Kreisligisten SV Netphen. Er votiert in Anbetracht der Corona-Lage und der Verantwortung, die die Trainer und Übungsleiter für ihre Akteure haben, für eine Annullierung der Saison. "Und das unabhängig davon, wo wir derzeit in der Tabelle stehen", so Schwarz. Werfen wir einen Blick aufs Kreisliga-Ranking, sehen wir die sieglosen Netphener mit drei Punkten auf dem 18. Tabellenplatz (von 19), was eine Annullierung und einen Neustart im August verständlich erscheinen lässt. "Aber das hätte ich auch gesagt, wenn wir - wie im Vorjahr - Dritter gewesen wären", will Schwarz den drohenden Abstieg nicht als Grund für seine Meinung verstanden wissen.
Eine zweiwöchige Vorbereitungsphase sieht er sowieso als zu kurz an. Schwarz: "Vier, fünf Wochen wie in der Sommerpause wären realistisch im Amateurfußball. Gerade in den unteren Klassen können wir doch gar nicht kontrollieren, wo der Einzelne steht, wie er sich fit gehalten hat. Hier betreiben alle Fußball als Hobby, da kann ich doch auch von niemandem verlangen, dass er fünfmal in der Woche etwas für seine Fitness tut - und das allein. Die Verletzungsgefahr sehe ich bei einem Re-Start unter diesen Voraussetzungen als zu groß." Und die Gesundheit müsse doch über allem stehen. "Schon allein aus diesem Grund müssten alle Trainer einer Meinung sein und zu keinen weiteren Spielen mehr antreten."
Maik Wolf (SV Setzen)
In einer ganz anderen sportlichen Lage ist sein Kollege Maik Wolf beim SV Setzen. Der rangiert auf Platz zwei, einem Aufstiegsplatz in die Bezirksliga und hat nach vielen digitalen Kontakten zu seinen Akteuren sehr wohl den Eindruck, dass die Mannschaft "heiß" ist, bis zum 30. Juni die Bezirksliga-Rückkehr zu realisieren. "Klar, wir sind alle Amateure, der eine arbeitet mehr für die Fitness, der andere weniger. Aber ich habe schon den Eindruck, dass wir hier gute Voraussetzungen für einen Neustart haben." So hilft der frisch zum Physiotherapeuten ausgebildete Jeremias Halbe mit einem Fitnessprogramm, das er mit seinen Setzener Spielerkollegen zweimal wöchentlich via Zoom-Konferenzen durchführt, ordentlich mit in dieser Lockdown-Phase.
Aber natürlich erscheinen auch Maik Wolf zwei Wochen Fußball-Training vor einem Re-Start als zu wenig. "Das ist eigentlich unmöglich", so der frühere Regionalliga-Verteidiger der Siegener Sportfreunde. "Das würde die Verletzungsgefahr der Spieler erhöhen", sieht er auch vier bis fünf Wochen eher als sinnvoll an. Aber er weiß auch um die Probleme, die der Verband hat, alles unter einen Hut zu bringen. "Ich möchte da keiner sein, der letztlich eine Entscheidung treffen muss", so Wolf, der sich aber mit der Vorstellung eines Saisonabbruchs eher schwer tut.
Christoph Spies (SG Si.-Giersberg)
Wechseln wir den Schauplatz, bleiben wir aber in der Kreisliga A. Auf dem Siegener Giersberg ist Christoph Spies für die fußballerischen Belange der ersten Mannschaft zuständig. Und die sah er bereits in der abgelaufenen Spielzeit benachteiligt, als die SG beim Saisonabbruch eigentlich besser da stand, als der letztlich aufstiegsberechtigte VfL Klafeld-Geisweid. "Und jetzt sind wir wieder Dritter", so Spies. "Da weiß ich, dass die Jungs hungrig sind, um es diesmal zu packen." Aber der Trainer weiß auch: "Der Sport ist für uns alle derzeit so weit weg. Man darf sich nicht treffen, kann nicht gemeinsam trainieren, sich gegenseitig unterstützen. Ich kann ja nur an jeden einzelnen der Spieler appellieren, sich irgendwie bei Laune zu halten. Zwingen kann ich dazu doch niemanden."
Die vom Verband angedachte zweiwöchige Vorbereitungsphase schätzt er bei allen Unwägbarkeiten hinsichtlich einer Saisonfortsetzung als zu kurz ein. "Um Verletzungsgefahren durch hohe Belastung vorzubeugen, brauchen wir mindestens vier Wochen", so Spies. Wie das umzusetzen ist? Auch der Giersberger Trainer kann hier nur mit den Schultern zucken. Die Hoffnung bestehe, auch der Wille - alles andere aber sei eben von anderen Voraussetzungen abhängig. "Ich kann nur sagen, dass wir bei uns alles dafür getan haben, um das Infektionsrisiko so klein wie möglich zu halten", blickt Christoph Spies auf die Zeit zurück, als Amateur-Fußball noch möglich war. Und genau das werde auch gelten, wenn es in diesem Saison noch einmal an den Ball ginge.
Andreas Wieczorek (SuS Niederschelden)
"im Wald bekommst du nicht die Fitness wie auf dem Platz." Für Andreas Wieczorek, Trainer beim Bezirksligisten SuS Niederschelden, kann die Zwei-Wochen-Regelung zur Vorbereitung nicht nachvollziehen. "Wenn das wirklich so kommen sollte, hast du mit einem kleine Kader schlechte Karten." Wieczorek schätzt die Verletzungsgefahr bei kurzem, intensivem Vorbereitungsprogramm hoch ein. Natürlich würde er eine Saisonfortsetzung begrüßen, "aber dann bitte mit vier- oder fünfwöchiger Testphase." Der frühere Profi des VfL Bochum (zwei Erstliga-Spiele) weiß auch, dass er niemanden in diesen fußballerischen Gefilden zwingen kann, neben Beruf und Familie in diesen unsicheren Zeiten aufwändige Fitnessprogramme durchzuziehen. Wieczorek: "Jeder macht irgendwas an Laufarbeit und Krafttraining, aber das kann die Arbeit mit dem Ball und auch taktische Dinge nicht ersetzen."
Thomas Scherzer (Germania Salchendorf)
Für Trainer Thomas Scherzer, der mit seiner Salchendorfer Germania als Tabellenführer der Bezirksliga in die Lockdown-Phase ging, ist die Termin-Prognose für eine Saisonfortsetzung wie ein Bick in die Glaskugel. "Nicht Genaues weiß man nicht. Klar aber ist für mich, dass es sowohl im Januar als auch im Februar nichts geben wird mit einer Freigabe für den Trainingsbetrieb." Wenn er dann davon ausginge, dass möglicherweise ab Mitte April wieder gespielt werden kann, wäre ein Vorbereitungsstart ab Mitte März denkbar. "Damit könnte man leben", so Scherzer, der mit seiner Mannschaft in ständigem Kontakt steht. "Ich merke, wie jeder heiß ist auf eine Fortsetzung der Saison, jeder diese Chance nutzen will, um in die Landesliga aufzusteigen."
Neun Spiele wären dann bis Ende Juni noch zu absolvieren für den SV Germania. "Das müsste sich bewerkstelligen lassen", so der Coach. Er setzt jedenfalls das Vertrauen in die Mannschaft, dass jeder Akteur die Zeit des Lockdowns irgendwie nutzt, um sich körperlich auf einen Neustart vorzubereiten. Da müsse sich auch jeder selbst Druck machen. "Das fußballspezifische würden wir dann in vier Wochen gemeinsamen Trainings regeln können", ist Scherzer überzeugt. "Aber eben nicht in zwei Wochen. Da bekommst du keinen Spieler auf 100 Prozent."

TOKYO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Dentsu Inc said on Tuesday it will resume bidding for projects under Japan's trade ministry months after the advertising giant come under public scrutiny over its involvement in running the ministry's coronavirus aid programme.
The resumption comes as it revised its internal business guidelines to adhere to new standards set forward in the ministry's review, the company said.
The ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) trade ministry outsourced the $718 million project to a non-profit group co-founded by Dentsu, which in turn used various subcontractors, including Dentsu, on the job.
Critics said it was a waste of taxpayers' money and showed opaque management of public work.
Dentsu, part of Dentsu Group Inc, halted new bids on METI projects in July while the ministry's review was being conducted and said it would (Reporting by Ju-min Park and Makiko Yamazaki, editing by Louise Heavens)

Howdy friends, this is the web version of my Week in Review newsletter, it’s here to entice you to sign up and get it in your inbox every week.
Last week, I showcased how Twitter was looking at the future of the web with a decentralized approach so that they wouldn’t be stuck unilaterally de-platforming the next world leader. This week, I scribbled some thoughts on another aspect of the future web, the ongoing battle between Facebook and Apple to own augmented reality. Releasing the hardware will only be the start of a very messy transition from smartphone-first to glasses-first mobile computing.
Again, if you so desire you can get this in your inbox from the newsletter page, and follow my tweets @lucasmtny
If the last few years of new “reality” tech has telegraphed anything, it’s that tech companies won’t be able to skip past augmented reality’s awkward phase, they’re going to have to barrel through it and it’s probably going to take a long-ass time.
The clearest reality is that in 2021 everyday users still don’t seem quite as interested in AR as the next generation of platform owners stand to benefit from a massive transition. There’s some element of skating to where the puck is going among the soothsayers that believe AR is the inevitable platform heir etc. etc., but the battle to reinvent mobile is at its core a battle to kill the smartphone before its time has come.
A war to remake mobile in the winner’s image
It’s fitting that the primary backers of this AR future are Apple and Facebook, ambitious companies that are deeply in touch with the opportunities they could’ve capitalized on if they could do it all over again.
While Apple and Facebook both have thousands of employees toiling quietly in the background building out their AR tech moats, we’ve seen and heard much more on Facebook’s efforts. The company has already served up several iterations of their VR hardware through Oculus and has discussed publicly over the years how they view virtual reality and augmented reality hardware converging.
Facebook’s hardware and software experiments have been experimentations in plain sight, an advantage afforded to a company that didn’t sell any hardware before they started selling VR headsets. Meanwhile Apple has offered up a developer platform and a few well-timed keynote slots for developers harnessing their tools, but the most ambitious first-party AR project they’ve launched publicly on iOS has been a measuring tape app. Everything else has taken place behind closed doors.
That secrecy tends to make any reporting on Apple’s plans particularly juicy. This week, a story from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman highlights some of Apple’s next steps towards a long-rumored AR glasses product, reporting that Apple plans to release a high-end niche VR device with some AR capabilities as early as next year. It’s not the most surprising but showcases how desperate today’s mobile kingpins are to ease the introduction of a technology that has the potential to turn existing tech stacks and the broader web on their heads.
Both Facebook and Apple have a handful of problems getting AR products out into the world, and they’re not exactly low-key issues:
This is a daunting wall, but isn’t uncommon among hardware moonshots. Facebook has already worked its way through this cycle once with virtual reality over several generations of hardware, though there were some key difference and few would call VR a mainstream success quite yet.
Nevertheless, there’s a distinct advantage to tackling VR before AR for both Facebook and Apple, they can invest in hardware that’s adjacent to the technologies their AR products will need to capitalize on, they can entice developers to build for a platform that’s more similar to what’s coming and they can set base line expectations for consumers for a more immersive platform. At least this would all be the case for Apple with a mass market VR device closer to Facebook’s $300 Quest 2, but a pricey niche device as Gurman’s report details doesn’t seem to fit that bill quite so cleanly.
The AR/VR content problem
The scenario I’d imagine both Facebook and Apple are losing sleep over is that they release serviceable AR hardware into a world where they are wholly responsible for coming up with all the primary use cases.
The AR/VR world already has a hefty backlog of burnt developers who might be long-term bullish on the tech but are also tired of getting whipped around by companies that seem to view the development of content ecosystems simply as a means to ship their next device. If Apple is truly expecting the sales numbers of this device that Bloomberg suggests — similar to Valve’s early Index headset sales — then color me doubtful that there will be much developer interest at all in building for a stopgap device, I’d expect ports of Quest 2 content and a few shining stars from Apple-funded partners.
I don’t think this will me much of a shortcut for them.
True AR hardware is likely going to have different standards of input, different standards of interaction and a much different approach to use cases compared to a device built for the home or smartphone. Apple has already taken every available chance to entice mobile developers to embrace phone-based AR on iPhones through ARKit, a push they have seemed to back off from at recent developer-centric events. As someone who has kept a close eye on early projects, I’d say that most players in the space have been very underwhelmed by what existing platforms enable and what has been produced widely.
That’s really not great for Apple or Facebook and suggests that both of these companies are going to have to guide users and developers through use cases they design. I think there’s a convincing argument that early AR glasses applications will be dominated by first-party tech and may eschew full third-party native apps in favor of tightly controlled data integrations more similar to how Apple has approached developer integrations inside Siri.
But giving developers a platform built with Apple or Facebook’s own dominance in mind is going to be tough to sell, underscoring the fact that mobile and mobile AR are going to be platforms that will have to live alongside each other for quite a bit. There will be rich opportunities for developers to create experiences that play with 3D and space, but there are also plenty of reasons to expect they’ll be more resistant to move off of a mutually enriching mobile platform onto one where Facebook or Apple will have the pioneer’s pick of platform advantages. What’s in it for them?
Mobile’s OS-level winners captured plenty of value from top-of-funnel apps marketplaces, but the down-stream opportunities found mobile’s true prize, a vastly expanded market for digital ads. With the opportunity of a mobile do-over, expect to find pioneering tech giants pitching proprietary digital ad infrastructure for their devices. Advertising will likely be augmented reality’s greatest opportunity allowing the digital ads market to create an infinite global canvas for geo-targeted customized ad content. A boring future, yes, but a predictable one.
For Facebook, being a platform owner in the 2020s means getting to set their own limitations on use cases, not being confined by App Store regulations and designing hardware with social integrations closer to the silicon. For Apple, reinventing the mobile OS in the 2020s likely means an opportunity to more meaningfully dominate mobile advertising.
It’s a do-over to the tune of trillions in potential revenues.
What comes next
The AR/VR industry has been stuck in a cycle of seeking out saviors. Facebook has been the dearest friend to proponents after startup after startup has failed to find a speedy win. Apple’s long-awaited AR glasses are probably where most die-hards are currently placing their faith.
I don’t think there are any misgivings from Apple or Facebook in terms of what a wild opportunity this to win, it’s why they each have more people working on this than any other future-minded project. AR will probably be massive and change the web in a fundamental way, a true Web 3.0 that’s the biggest shift of the internet to date.
That’s doesn’t sound like something that will happen particularly smoothly.
I’m sure that these early devices will arrive later than we expect, do less than we expect and that things will be more and less different from the smartphone era’s mobile paradigms in ways we don’t anticipate. I’m also sure that it’s going to be tough for these companies to strong-arm themselves into a more seamless transition. This is going to be a very messy for tech platforms and is a transition that won’t happen overnight, not by a long shot.
The Loon is dead One of tech’s stranger moonshots is dead, as Google announced this week that Loon, it’s internet balloon project is being shut down. It was an ambitious attempt to bring high-speed internet to remote corners of the world, but the team says it wasn’t sustainable to provide a high-cost service at a low price. More
Facebook Oversight Board tasked with Trump removal I talked a couple weeks ago — what feels like a lifetime ago — about how Facebook’s temporary ban of Trump was going to be a nightmare for the company. I wasn’t sure how they’d stall for more time of a banned Trump before he made Facebook and Instagram his central platform, but they made a brilliant move, purposefully tying the case up in PR-favorable bureaucracy, tossing the case to their independent Oversight Board for their biggest case to date.

Jack is Back Alibaba’s head honcho is back in action. Alibaba shares jumped this week when the Chinese e-commerce giant’s billionaire CEO Jack Ma reappeared in public after more than three months after his last public appearance, something that stoked plenty of conspiracies. Where he was during all this time isn’t clear, but I sort of doubt we’ll be finding out. More
Trump pardons Anthony Levandowski Trump is no longer President, but in one of his final acts, he surprisingly opted to grant a full pardon to one Anthony Levandowski, the former Google engineer convicted of stealing trade secrets regarding their self-driving car program. It was a surprising end to one of the more dramatic big tech lawsuits in recent years. More
Xbox raises Live prices I’m not sure how this stacks in importance relative to what else is listed here, but I’m personally pissed that Microsoft is hiking the price of their streaming subscription Xbox Live Gold. It’s no secret that the gaming industry is embracing a subscription economy, it will be interesting to see what the divide looks like in terms of gamer dollars going towards platform owners versus studios.

Musk offers up $100M donation to carbon capture tech Elon Musk, who is currently the world’s richest person, tweeted out this week that he will be donating $100 million towards a contest to build the best technology for carbon capture.

I’m adding a section going forward to highlight some of our Extra Crunch coverage from the week, which dives a bit deeper into the money and minds of the moneymakers.
Hot IPOs hang onto gains as investors keep betting on tech “After setting a $35 to $39 per-share IPO price range, Poshmark sold shares in its IPO at $42 apiece. Then it opened at $97.50. Such was the exuberance of the stock market regarding the used goods marketplace’s debut. But today it’s worth a more modest $76.30 — for this piece we’re using all Yahoo Finance data, and all current prices are those from yesterday’s close ahead of the start of today’s trading — which sparked a question: How many recent tech IPOs are also down from their opening price?” More
How VCs invested in Asia and Europe in 2020 “Wrapping our look at how the venture capital asset class invested in 2020, today we’re taking a peek at Europe’s impressive year, and Asia’s slightly less invigorating set of results. (We’re speaking soon with folks who may have data on African VC activity in 2020; if those bear out, we’ll do a final entry in our series concerning the continent.)” More

Wesel Die Weseler Profi-Triathletin Mareen Hufe weilt im "Home-Office" und Trainingslager auf Fuerteventura. Und weiß das zu schätzen.
Vor wenigen Tagen musste Mareen Hufe laut Lachen. Da wollte ihr kanadischer Rennrad-Ausrüster doch tatsächlich ihren Wettkampf-Terminkalender für das neue Jahr haben. Doch dafür bräuchte die Profi-Triathletin schon eine funktionierende Glaskugel.
„Ich lasse mich gerne positiv überraschen, aber vor der Olympischen Distanz im Mai in Buschhütten wird das wohl nichts mit den nächsten Wettkämpfen“, so die Weselerin. „Ratingen im September hat aber gezeigt, dass so eine Veranstaltung mit dem entsprechenden Konzept und den passenden Gegebenheiten durchführbar ist.“
Keine Schmerzen und gute Bedingungen
Immerhin kann die Ausdauerspezialistin trotz Corona-Pandemie derzeit gut trainieren. Zum einen, weil ihr Körper wieder mitspielt: „Die Probleme am hinteren Oberschenkel, deren Ursache der untere Rücken war, habe ich gut im Griff. Die ärztlichen und physiotherapeutischen Behandlungen waren sehr zeitaufwändig. Aber es hat sich gelohnt“, so Hufe. „Ich danke dem Team des Visalis und den behandelnden Ärzten für ihren Einsatz bei der Ursachenfindung und der Heilung.“
Zum anderen, weil sich das Home-Office der Triathletin auf einer Terrasse mit Meerblick eines Sportler-Hotels auf Fuerteventura befindet: „Geringe Infektionszahlen und ein angenehmes Klima ermöglichen es, alle Trainingseinheiten durchzuziehen. Natürlich ist der starke Wind manchmal lästig, aber er gibt auch Wumms in die Beine“, so Hufe. „Die Maske ist auch hier mein ständiger Begleiter. Gerade im Fitnessstudio war es doch gewöhnungsbedürftig. Aber beim Schwimm-, Rad- und Lauftraining und im Home-Office kann sie in der Tasche bleiben.“
Auf der ganzen Welt im Home-Office
Seit einigen Jahren hat die Vertriebscontrollerin ihre hauptberufliche Stelle wegen dem Sport auf 50 Prozent reduziert und ist es gewohnt, mit ihrem Laptop von irgendwo auf der Welt zu arbeiten. Gerade in Corona-Lockdown-Zeiten für viele Menschen ein Traum.
„Das ist für mich auch keine Selbstverständlichkeit“, so Hufe. „Ich bin dankbar, dass mein Arbeitgeber BYK und das Hotel Las Playitas mir diese Möglichkeit bieten. Es fühlt sich jeden Tag aufs Neue wie ein Geschenk an. Ich bin stolz und dankbar, dass meine Partner mir auch in dieser besonderen Zeit den Rücken stärken“
Mittlerweile auch Personal Trainerin
Damit ist es für die 42-Jährige aber bei weitem noch nicht getan. „Ich versuche, in neuen Situationen immer auch neue Chancen zu erkennen und das Beste draus zu machen“, so die Weselerin, die in den letzten Monaten eine Ausbildung zum Personal Trainer gemeistert hat. Diese Aufgabe führt sie Ende Januar auch wieder an den heimischen Niederrhein, wo sie besonders Laufanfängern an der frischen Luft mit grundlegenden Tipps zur Seite steht.
„Die Nachfrage ist riesig, auch von ganzen Firmen. Und es macht mir unheimlich viel Spaß“, erklärt Mareen Hufe, die dabei in Sachen Trainingspläne aber auch bremsen muss: „Ich habe auch am Auesee seit Beginn der Pandemie schon viele neue Gesichter gesehen. Aber wenn ich als Einsteiger täglich sieben Kilometer laufe, dann kann das nicht lange gut gehen.“
Triathlon zum Jahresausklang, Dauerlauf an Neujahr
Selbst ausklingen lassen hat Hufe das turbulente Jahr 2020 mit einem Triathlon: „Ich bin 2020 Meter geschwommen, 2020 Höhenmeter Rad gefahren und 20:20 Minuten gelaufen. An der Ziellinie gab es ein Aperol Spritz.“
Ebenso passend wurde 2021 begrüßt: Mit einem Dauerlauf über 20,21 Kilometer. „Der war nach dem Triathlon und der Silvesternacht etwas zäh. Am nächsten Tag ging es dann um 7.30 Uhr wieder deutlich frischer auf meine erste Radtour des neuen Jahres. Und nach 202.1 km war das Hotel wieder in Sicht und ich brauchte nur noch den Berg runter rollen.“
Trotz aller Umstände freut sich die Weselerin auf „ein spannendes Jahr, für das ich mir viel vorgenommen habe. Ein konkretes Ziel kann ich noch nicht formulieren, aber die Weichen für ein erfolgreiches Jahr 2021 kann ich jetzt schon stellen.“
Und dafür ist Mareen Hufe auf dem besten Wege. Zwar ohne konkreten Wettkampf-Kalender, aber mit auskurierten Oberschenkelproblemen und Meerblick.

Traders oppose call to limit corn exports from Ukraine

KYIV, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Ukrainian grain traders said on Tuesday they saw no grounds to restrict corn exports for the 2020/21 season, a move requested by animal feed and meat producers to avoid higher feed prices.
Ukraine's economy ministry and agricultural unions will decide on Jan. 25 whether to limit corn exports for the 2020/21 marketing season to 22 million tonnes.
Domestic livestock and poultry producers' associations last week asked the government to limit corn exports to that level to avoid a shortage of animal feed.
"The proposal has been made, but it is not yet clear whether it will be accepted .... This is not a restriction, but a sectoral agreement," deputy economy minister Taras Vysotskiy told Reuters.
But one foreign trader, speaking on condition of anonymity, was worried export restrictions could potentially create "additional turbulence in the market, exacerbated by decisions on export duties from Russia."
Russia, one of the world's largest wheat exporters, plans to impose a higher export tax on wheat from March 1, seeking to curb a rise in domestic food prices triggered by the COVID-19 crisis.
NO GROUNDS FOR LIMITS
"Today there are still more than 21 million tonnes of corn of the new harvest in the country (Ukraine) and it is inexpedient to talk about any deficit, as it is also inexpedient to determine the maximum volume of exports," traders union UGA said.
It noted Ukraine had already passed the peak of corn exports and the rate of shipments would decline.
The country had exported 10.5 million tonnes of corn as of Jan. 18, 3.5 million less than at the same date in 2019, the union said.
Ukraine's corn harvest fell to around 29.3 million tonnes in 2020 from 35.9 million a year earlier and producers fear large-scale exports could sharply reduce stocks and raise prices.
The ministry said Ukraine needed around 7.5 million tonnes of corn to cover local needs.
In November, Ukrainian pig and poultry growers failed to convince the government to set a maximum volume of corn available for export in the 2020/21 season due to a sharp jump in fodder costs. (Editing by David Evans and Mark Potter)

Witten. Der Vorstandsvorsitzende des Deutschen Handballbundes, Mark Schober, fiebert im Home-Office dem WM-Auftakt in Ägypten entgegen.

Witten. Der Vorstandsvorsitzende des Deutschen Handballbundes, Mark Schober, fiebert im Home-Office dem WM-Auftakt in Ägypten entgegen.
Als die deutschen Handballer 2016 mit dem Gewinn der Europameisterschaft ihren letzten ganz großen Triumph feierten, da war Mark Schober bereits im Amt beim nationalen Verband - und das an der hauptamtlichen Spitze des DHB. Der Wittener ist Vorstandsvorsitzender des Deutschen Handballbundes. Ganz klar, dass auch er dem Auftakt der WM in Ägypten entgegenfiebert.
"Wir haben inzwischen geklärt, wer wann von uns zur Weltmeisterschaft fliegen wird", sagt der 48-Jährige. Geplant sei zumindest, dass er selbst zum Viertelfinale nach Ägypten reisen werde; DHB-Präsident Andreas Michelmann und Vizepräsident Bob Hanning brechen bereits am Dienstag mit der deutschen Handball-Nationalmannschaft auf.
"Wir freuen uns alle darauf, dass die WM jetzt endlich losgeht", sagt Schober. Auch seine beiden Söhne Bennet und Jaro, die in der Jugendabteilung des TuS Bommern selbst Handball spielen, sind schon Feuer und Flamme für die Partien der DHB-Auswahl um Trainer Alfred Gislason. "Die sind froh, dass für sie jetzt Distanzunterricht ansteht", sagt Mark Schober mit einem Augenzwinkern.
Schober hofft auf gutes Abschneiden der Gislason-Sieben
Was er sich vom Abschneiden der deutschen Männer bei der WM erwartet? Der Funktionär gibt sich diplomatisch: "Natürlich hoffe ich, dass wir dort erfolgreich spielen werden. Es ist wichtig, unsere Sportart aus Ägypten den Fernsehzuschauern daheim präsentieren zu können. Dass sich der Profisport weiter zeigen kann, ist ein Privileg, hat aber auch einen gesellschaftlichen Effekt. Kinder und Jugendliche sollen weiter erfahren, dass es uns und damit Handball weiter gibt und sich auf den Neustart freuen, für den wir alle arbeiten."
Von einigen Seiten hatte es wegen der weiterhin vorherrschenden Corona-Pandemie Kritik an der Austragung der Titelkämpfe in Nordafrika gegeben.
"Ob diese Sorgen nun berechtigt sind oder nicht - wir haben uns lange darauf vorbereitet, der Schutzpflicht gegenüber den Spielern optimal nachkommen zu können. Die Mannschaft fliegt am Dienstag mit Charter-Maschinen nach Ägypten, wird zudem regelmäßig getestet", sagt Schober. "Wir halten uns an die gesetzlichen Regelungen, tun sogar mehr und hoffen, dass vor Ort alles gut geht. Ein Nichtantreten bei diesem Turnier hätte aus meiner Sicht massive Auswirkungen auf den Handballsport gehabt."
Klare Siege in EM-Quali gegen Österreich stimmen hoffnungsvoll
Rein sportlich vertraut er darauf, dass DHB-Coach Alfred Gislason mit seinem Team das Optimum heraushole. "Man muss den Jungs einfach eine Chance geben. Die Siege in der EM-Qualifikation gegen Österreich geben schon mal ein gutes Gefühl - ich sehe das als guten Start", so der Wittener.
Die Mannschaft, die nach den Absagen einiger wichtiger Stammkräfte neu zusammengestellt werden musste und nicht mehr zum engeren Favoritenkreis gerechnet wird, habe Schober "in Graz und Köln überrascht. Die Jungs haben alle Bock, ziehen an einem Strang." Keine Frage, dass auch der Vorstandschef des nationalen Verbandes daheim ("Wir sind derzeit alle im Home Office") vor dem Bildschirm mitfiebern wird, wenn Deutschland in der Vorrunde in Gizeh auf Uruguay, die Kapverdischen Inseln und Ungarn treffen wird.
Bevor der aus Ludwigsburg stammende Mark Schober in die Vorstandsetage des in Dortmund ansässigen DHB wechselte, war er zehn Jahre lang für die Handball-Bundesliga tätig. "Ich denke weiterhin, dass es ein Privileg ist, für meinen Sport arbeiten zu dürfen. Für mich ist das ein Traumjob, man kann hier viel bewegen", sagt Schober, der eine seine Hauptaufgaben darin sieht, den Verband "weiter zu professionalisieren. Seit 2014 haben wir die Mitarbeiterzahl auf derzeit 50 verdoppeln können, arbeiten wirtschaftlich erfolgreich."
Coronakrise ein schwerer Rückschlag auch für den Sport
Auch die Ausrichtung der Weltmeisterschaft 2019 sei für den DHB ein großer Erfolg gewesen, "da haben wir gute Werbung für unseren Sport gemacht." Dass der Handball in den Medien weiterhin ordentlich repräsentiert wird (u. a. zeigt der Bezahlsender Sky die Bundesliga-Partien live, alle Länderspiele der Männer-Nationalmannschaft sind in ARD und ZDF zu sehen), sei enorm wichtig. "Und dass vor zwei Jahren auch die deutschen Spiele bei der Junioren-WM auf Eurosport übertragen wurden, hat mich stolz gemacht", sagt der 48-Jährige. So etwas passiere aber keineswegs von allein - "dahinter steckt eine Menge Arbeit."

Die Coronakrise sei natürlich auch für den Handball ein schwerer Rückschlag gewesen. Bis auf die Profiligen bei Männern und Frauen ruht seit Monaten der Ball, in den Städten und Gemeinden sind die Sporthallen geschlossen. Vor allem für die Jugendarbeit der vielen sonst so rührigen Vereine sei dies mit schwer zu kalkulierenden Folgen verbunden. "Wir verlieren dadurch sicherlich Kinder", so die Befürchtung Schobers, der auch finanzielle Einbußen für den Profibereich voraussagt. Dennoch zollt er den Clubs ein großes Lob, "denn auch in der Krise haben sie viel getan."
DHB treibt Digitalisierung mit Hochdruck voran
Der DHB-Funktionär, zu dessen Aufgabengebiet neben der Pflege internationaler Kontakte (EHF, IHF) hierzulande auch viel Sportpolitisches und Strategisches gehöre, sieht noch immer eine Menge Arbeit vor sich und seinem hoch engagierten Team. "Wir treiben derzeit die Digitalisierung noch weiter voran, arbeiten unter anderem an einer Handball-Plattform, die als Service etwa für Lehrer oder Vereine dienen soll, die die Ausbildung erleichtert."
Im Fokus steht für Mark Schober vor allem auch, dass man als übergeordneter Verband "auch weiterhin den Vereinen bei ihrer Basisarbeit helfen" müsse. Aktionen wie etwa der "Tag des Handballs", den man mit Erfolg ins Leben gerufen habe, seien ein guter, richtiger Ansatz. Was den Spielbetrieb anbelangt, so habe der DHB mit Änderungen gewisser struktureller Grundlagen ebenso versucht, neue Wege zu beschreiten. "Für Studenten etwa ist es inzwischen möglich, dass sie für zwei Vereine - daheim und an ihrem Studienort - aktiv sind", sagt Mark Schober.
Großes Potenzial sieht Schober im Frauenhandball
Im Frauenhandball sieht der Wittener "großes Potenzial - das ist ein wichtiges strategisches Feld für uns als Verband." Der DHB orientiere sich an Vorbildern aus Skandinavien, wo etwa in Dänemark oder Norwegen dieser Sport einen enormen Stellenwert genießt. "Ganz klar: Rein sportlich müssen unsere Frauen - sowohl was die Nationalmannschaft als auch die Bundesliga im internationalen Vergleich betrifft, künftig besser werden", sagt Schober aber kritisch.
Bei der jüngsten EM in Dänemark hatte die DHB-Auswahl abermals eine vordere Platzierung verpasst, war im entscheidenden Duell an Weltmeister Niederlande gescheitert. Vielleicht machen es ja die Männer von Trainer Gislason bei der mit 32 Teams größten WM aller Zeiten nun ab Mittwoch in Ägypten besser. Sollte es in Richtung Medaillenränge gehen, wäre der Wittener Mark Schober dabei zumindest live vor Ort, könnte dann auf der Tribüne das Team unterstützen. So wie er es sonst - auch mal ganz emotional - in der Bommeraner Sporthalle tut, wenn seine beiden Jungs am Ball sind.

Germany takes up 40% less new debt in 2020 than planned - document

BERLIN, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The German government has finalised its 2020 budget with net new debt of 130.5 billion euros ($158.3 billion), the highest level of annual borrowing in post-war history but still 40% less than originally planned, a government document showed on Tuesday.
Berlin needed less debt because earmarked money for public investment did not flow into projects as quickly as expected, coronavirus aid was not tapped by as many firms as anticipated and the pandemic-related hit to tax revenues was smaller than projected, according to the finance ministry document.
The debt level easily surpassed the previous record of 44 billion euros in 2010 following the financial crisis.
The federal government recorded a structural budget deficit of 1.52% of economic output, the document showed. That was above the deficit limit of 0.35%, but parliament suspended this fiscal rule for 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.
Finance Minister Olaf Scholz is planning net new debt of up to 180 billion euros this year to continue rescue and stimulus measures and shield Europe's largest economy from the impact of a potentially aggressive new wave of infections.
"Despite the pandemic, we have public finances under control," Scholz said. "We have the strength to keep on countering the coronavirus impact with massive action - and that's exactly what we are doing."

Bruchhausen. Nach einem erhöhten Besucheraufkommen trotz Lockdown, sperrte die Stadt Olsberg die Straße "Am Medebach". Jetzt ist sie wieder geöffnet.
Die Straße „Am Medebach“ in Richtung Sternrodt ist für den Verkehr wieder frei gegeben. Das teilte die Stadt Olsberg auf Anfrage mit. Man werde die Situation aber weiterhin im Blick behalten und sich mit den Nachkommunen austauschen. Allerdings sei je nach Lage durchaus wieder denkbar, entsprechende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um Besucher fernzuhalten.
Wo sich letzter Woche noch die Skifahrer und Rodler drängten und für überfüllte Parkplätze sorgten, herrschte an diesem Wochenende nur gähnende Leere, da die Stadt Olsberg die Straße „Am Medebach“ ins beliebte Skigebiet wegen der Corona-Pandemie noch gesperrt hatte. Nur vereinzelt waren Spaziergänger unterwegs und nur ein einsamer Skifahrer quälte sich den steilen Hang hinauf. Ohnehin ruht der offizielle Skibetrieb schon seit Saisonbeginn und auch die Gastronomie ist geschlossen.

Love thy neighbour and get a COVID jab, says Archbishop of Canterbury

LONDON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, received a COVID-19 vaccine and urged people across the world to accept the jab, saying that getting vaccinated was part of the Christian commandment to love our neighbour as ourselves.
The leader of the Anglican Communion, which includes 85 million people in about 165 countries, tweeted a picture of himself receiving the shot and described the rapid development of vaccines against the new coronavirus as an answer to prayer.
"Jesus Christ calls us to love our neighbour as ourselves. Getting the vaccine is part of that commandment: we can show our love for each other by keeping each other safe from this terrible disease," he said in a statement.
"To everyone in this country and across the world, I want to say please, please accept the invitation to get the jab when it comes -- and encourage everyone around you to do the same."
Welby, 65, received the vaccine as part of the priority group of frontline healthcare workers, because he volunteers at St Thomas' Hospital, across the road from his London residence at Lambeth Palace, as part of the hospital's chaplaincy team.
He said that healthcare workers in Britain's National Health Service and across the world were under immense pressure on the front lines of the pandemic, and getting the vaccine was something people could do to help relieve the burden on them.
Reluctance by a proportion of the population to get vaccinated is seen by public health experts as a major problem, and the archbishop was one of a number of public figures in Britain who have sought to persuade people to accept the jab.
Queen Elizabeth, 94, and her husband Prince Philip, 99, both received their vaccinations on Jan. 9. They made no comment, but the decision by Buckingham Palace to make the news public was widely seen as a way to emphasise the safety and importance of vaccination.

No benefit from virus blood plasma: study

An international trial testing convalescent blood plasma on COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe illness has halted enrolment of severely ill COVID-19 patients requiring intensive care after it found no benefit, trial investigators say.
The decision by the REMAP-CAP trial leaders came after an initial analysis of more than 900 severely ill trial participants in intensive care showed that treatment with the product - an antibody-rich plasma taken from people who have recovered from the pandemic disease - did not improve outcomes.
"There was no evidence of harm associated with the administration of convalescent plasma" (and) the trial is continuing to recruit hospitalised COVID-19 patients who are moderately ill but not in intensive care, scientists leading the trial said in a statement.
"It is biologically plausible that patients who are not producing antibodies at the time of convalescent plasma therapy and those patients with excess virus may benefit more than others. Our additional analyses will explore this," said Manu Shankar-Hari, a clinician and professor of critical care medicine at the UK's Guy's and St Thomas' hospital, who is co-leading the trial.
He added that the initial analysis did not assess plasma's effects in hospitalised patients with less severe disease.
This "remains a very important question" and would continue to be explored in the ongoing trial, he said.
The underlying hypothesis for using convalescent plasma as a potential treatment for COVID-19 patients is that the antibodies it contains could neutralise the virus, stopping it from replicating and halting tissue damage.
But this initial analysis leading to the REMAP-CAP pause in enrolment of critically ill patients showed there was a very low probability - 2.2 per cent - that it reduced death rates or decreased the number of days patients needed intensive care.
"Why convalescent plasma does not seem to improve outcome in severely ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU is not yet known. However, it may be because the lung damage is too advanced for convalescent plasma to make a difference," said Alexis Turgeon, a critical care doctor and professor at Universite Laval in Canada, who is also working on the trial.
REMAP-CAP is an international clinical trial exploring potential treatments for COVID-19.
It has already recruited 4100 COVID-19 patients at more than 290 clinical sites across Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australasia.
Separate findings from REMAP-CAP showed last week that treating critically ill COVID-19 patients with Roche's Actemra or Sanofi's Kevzara arthritis drugs significantly improved survival rates and reduced the amount of time patients need intensive care.
The trial is also looking at potential effects of a range of other existing therapies including anti-coagulation medicines, anti-platelet agents, antibiotics, statins and vitamin C.

Online retailer becomes the frontrunner to snap up the prize asset of Arcadia despite the Issa brothers making surprise challenge

Online retailer becomes the frontrunner to snap up the prize asset of Arcadia despite the Issa brothers making surprise challenge
The online fashion retailer Asos is closing in on a takeover of Topshop, as talks to rescue Sir Philip Green’s crumbling empire come to a head.
As The Telegraph went to press Asos was the frontrunner to acquire the prize asset of Arcadia, according to City sources. It was expected to see off a surprise late challenge from the Issa brothers, the owners of Asda.
Asos’s online rival Boohoo was said to be well-positioned to buy Sir Philip’s other brands, such as Dorothy Perkins. However, insiders cautioned last night that Asos could buy more than just Topshop. Lawyers were working to finalise the deals and it was also still possible alternative winners of the auction such as American challenger Authentic Brands could emerge.
Chinese chain Shein, which offered to buy Topshop for £300m, is believed to have retreated from the race, while Next dropped out last week.
The Issas, founders of EG Group, one of the world’s biggest forecourt operators, were considered underdogs and “late to the party”, but could yet spring a surprise, a source said.
The Blackburn-based entrepreneurs shocked the City last year by pipping the buyout funds Apollo and Lone Star to snap up Asda for £6.8bn.
Deloitte is scrambling to finalise a deal ahead of a deadline this week to publish a key report that will shine a light on Arcadia’s financial woes. Administrators have eight weeks from the date of their appointment to set out proposals to creditors.
The Issas’ bid is believed to have been made in conjunction with TDR Capital, the London-based private equity firm behind David Lloyd gyms, rather than through EG or Asda.
Next’s bid, supported by a high-interest loan from hedge fund Davidson Kempner, failed to match the price offered by rivals last Monday.
Administrators hope to sell Arcadia’s remaining brands in one lot, rather than in a piecemeal fashion, insiders said.
This is to preserve as many of the group’s 19,000-strong, pre-administration workforce as possible and maximise returns for Arcadia’s creditors, the biggest of which is its pension scheme, which supports 10,000 members.
Asos has largely gone under the radar since Arcadia’s collapse in November. Topshop is one of the online retailer’s most popular brands and its interest may be to preserve a key supply line.
Authentic Brands, the owner of New York department store Barneys, has been touted as a serious contender for some time, armed with the “deep pockets” to pull together a knockout swoop. “It’s a firm to be reckoned with,” said one US source.
Mike Ashley, the retail tycoon behind Sports Direct and House of Fraser, is believed to have lodged a lowball offer and remains on the sidelines should a deal with any of the favourites fall through.
All parties declined to comment.

ZAGREB, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Slovenia's leftist opposition decided on Tuesday to drop temporarily a no-confidence motion against the centre-right government as some deputies would not be able to participate in the vote because of COVID-19 infections.
The leader of the Pensioners' Party DESUS, Karl Erjavec, who had been proposed as the candidate to take over from Prime Minister Janez Jansa if the opposition motion had succeeded, withdrew his candidacy, the national STA news agency reported.
The vote had been due to take place on Wednesday after DESUS gathered the required 42 signatures among deputies, but an outbreak of COVID-19 infections among some lawmakers and subsequent self-isolation measures forced the delay.
The opposition, comprising five parties, would need 46 votes in the 90-member chamber to succeed in toppling the government.
DESUS had counted on support from some deputies from the centre-left Party of Modern Centre (SMC) which is part of the ruling coalition and has eight parliamentary seats.
Until recently DESUS was also part of the ruling coalition, but it quit saying it was unhappy with the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, its jeopardising of media freedom and siding with Hungary and Poland in disputes in the European Union over democratic standards in those countries.
Slovenia's parliamentary speaker, Igor Zorcic, said the opposition must now gather the signatures again to be able to introduce a new no-confidence motion. (Reporting by Igor Ilic Editing by Gareth Jones)

Haines Watts has issued an “adverse opinion” over timing of asset transfer in High Street Group accounts for 2018

Haines Watts has issued an “adverse opinion” over timing of asset transfer in High Street Group accounts for 2018
A property developer that has raised millions selling minibonds to ordinary investors has been rebuked by its auditors over accounting that they say flattered its latest figures by £50m.
Haines Watts has issued an “adverse opinion” over High Street Group accounts for 2018, published this month at Companies House.
Its concern centres on the sale of HSG subsidiaries including High Street Commercial Finance, whose shares were transferred to HSG’s chairman and owner Gary Forrest.
While there is no issue over the transfer itself, the auditors say it took effect in January 2019 rather than Dec 31 2018, as the company believes, and so should not be recognised in HSG’s 2018 accounts. HSG’s liabilities in 2018 were £49.9m lower than if the disposal had not been recognised that year.
Newcastle-based HSG made a loss in 2018 of £24.5m and a £23.9m loss the year before. A brochure from 2018 for a loan note issue to raise money for new projects advertised a fixed rate of 12pc per year, plus bonuses. It said directors hoped to raise £100m.
Scrutiny has been growing on companies who raise funds through bonds or loan notes sold to private investors. In its 2018 accounts, which were signed off by Mr Forrest on Dec 23 2020, HSG said it was “progressing with a number of funding deals” and has “adequate resources in place for at least 12 months from the date of these results”.
Haines Watts said that, apart from its concern over the disposal, the company’s books were a “true and fair” reflection of its affairs.
HSG said: “The adverse opinion given by Haines Watts relates purely to the timing of the transaction.
“Taken across the two years, the timing has a neutral effect, as the 2019 accounts will show a profit of approximately £21m and a net balance sheet position of £11.5m.”
The 2019 accounts will be ready to publish in the coming weeks, it added.

Masken, Hygienewände, Schilder: Produkte von zwei jungen Niedersfelder Unternehmerinnen kann man in Coronazeiten an vielen Orten finden

Masken, Hygienewände, Schilder: Produkte von zwei jungen Niedersfelder Unternehmerinnen kann man in Coronazeiten an vielen Orten finden
Niedersfeld. "Hier und da etwas umgekrempelt hat die Corona-Pandemie das Alltagsgeschäft schon", sagt Isabelle Abel, eine der beiden Geschäftsführerinnen von SI Werbeform aus Niedersfeld.
Ein Beispiel: War früher Acrylglas hauptsächlich Material für Werbeschilder, so erlebten die leichten, durchsichtigen Scheiben 2020 einen ungeahnten Boom und waren als Hygieneschutzwände in Läden, Bäckereien, Tankstellen und Postfilialen sehr begehrt. "Zwischenzeitlich waren die Platten tatsächlich schwer zu bekommen", erinnert sich die 31-Jährige.
+++ Sie wollen wissen, was in Brilon, Olsberg, Marsberg, Winterberg und Hallenberg passiert? Melden Sie sich hier zum kostenlosen Newsletter an +++
Das Unternehmen stellte sich darauf ein und produzierte Schutzwände je nach Kundenbedarf zum Stellen, zum An-die-Decke-Hängen oder als Sonderanfertigungen. "Mit der CNC-Fräse können wir das so zuschneiden, wie die Kunden es brauchen."
Acrylglas 2020 besonders gefragt
Hygieneschutzwände waren aber nicht die einzigen Produkte, die das Niedersfelder Unternehmen täglich an die Coronakrise erinnerten. Aufkleber, die auf Böden oder an Türen zum Abstandhalten aufrufen, gehörten ebenso dazu wie die knapp 7000 Mund-Nasen-Masken, die sie verkauft haben, schätzt Abel. "Die Masken werden vor der Produktion individuell nach Kundenwunsch designed."
Wer im Sommer, als das noch möglich war, das Hallenbad in Winterberg besucht hat, wird ebenfalls auf Produkte aus Niedersfeld gestoßen sein: Von der Decke gehängte Trennwände aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff sorgten dort für mehr Sicherheit und Abstand.
Beschilderung für das Impfzentrum
Und schließlich wird auch, wer demnächst zum Impfen ins Impfzentrum in Olsberg fährt, an Schildern des jungen Unternehmens vorbeifahren – sie weisen unter anderem die Auch beim Coronatest-Drive-in an der Feuerwehrleitstelle in Meschede zeigten Schilder aus Niedersfeld den richtigen Weg. Noch relativ neu im Angebot ist ein antibakterielles Schutzlaminat – eine durchsichtige Folie, die auf feste Oberflächen verklebt werden kann.
Corona brachte es auch mit sich, dass die Mitarbeiter viele neue Aspekte berücksichtigen und sich mit neuen Regeln beschäftigen mussten. Nicht jeder optisch ansprechende Kundenwunsch stellte sich als kompatibel mit den Vorschriften heraus. "Im Zweifel mussten wir vorher beim Gesundheitsamt nachfragen, ob eine Lösung auch zugelassen ist."
Eines der wichtigsten Schlagworte 2020 sei Schnelligkeit gewesen: "Vor allem Aufträge mit Pandemiebezug waren meist sehr eilig, es musste schnell gehen", sagt Abel. Bei den Schildern für das Impfzentrum beispielsweise habe es von der Auftragsannahme bis zur Montage nur drei Tage gedauert.
Unternehmensgeschichte
Zusammen mit Sophia Klüppel hat Isabelle Abel den Betrieb im Dezember 2014 übernommen – die beiden jungen Schilder- und Lichtreklameherstellerinnen hatten damals das Angebot bekommen, ihren ehemaligen Ausbildungsbetrieb zu übernehmen.
Im Dezember 2017 zog das Unternehmen in ein neues, größeres Gebäude um. Heute gehören neben den beiden Geschäftsführerinnen sieben Mitarbeiter zum Team.

Britain joins US in attack on China’s trade subsidies

Trade Secretary Liz Truss will call for tougher rules against China's trade-distorting practices at the virtual Davos summit next week

Trade Secretary Liz Truss will call for tougher rules against China's trade-distorting practices at the virtual Davos summit next week
Britain will court the new administration in Washington by stepping up its attack on the Chinese state’s warping of global markets with subsidies.
Liz Truss, the Trade Secretary, is to push the case for reform of the global trading system in an address to the virtual Davos summit next week and is bidding to join an international alliance to intensify the pressure on the authoritarian state. The US, European Union and Japan hit out at China’s vast system of subsidies a year ago and have pressed for tougher rules against the trade-distorting practices to be imposed by the World Trade Organisation.
The tripartite group is focused on China’s network of subsidies as well as concerns such as “forced technology transfer”, where foreign firms are compelled to partner with local companies to do business in China and often hand over intellectual property.
Westminster sources said the UK is pushing to join the trio’s working group to challenge China. “The new Biden administration is obviously interested in working with like-minded democracies so this is all part of that push,” a Westminster source said.
Ms Truss said the UK would aim to “tackle pernicious practices and countries who don’t play by the rules”. She added: “We’re looking to work much more closely with key allies like the EU, US and Japan at the WTO to tackle issues like industrial subsidies, and help lead the creation of new rules in areas like digital and data, services and the environment.”
The online summit comes ahead of the WTO’s first ministerial conference for three years, likely to be held in December. China’s subsidies and trade practices have been a running sore for years but flared into a full-blown trade war under former president Donald Trump, who slapped the US’s main economic rival with hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs.
The WTO, meanwhile, is rudderless after the US vetoed the consensus candidate for director-general, Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, while its appellate court for handling disputes has been paralysed by a lack of judges.
Sam Lowe, a senior research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, said joining the tripartite group would be “a good way of building bridges with the US and the EU on trade”.
He said: “It’s good for the UK to try and come to a consensus position on these issues; there’s no point in the UK taking its own approach. If the aim is actually to try and change Chinese behaviour and get new commitments from China in these areas, then you need to present a united front.
“China is compliant for the most part with its WTO obligations. The problem is that the existing set of obligations don’t capture the things that China is doing that other countries perceive to be unfair. That’s what the US wants to upgrade and change.”
The manoeuvres come as the UK seeks the prize of a post-Brexit trade deal with the US. Ms Truss will seek talks with Katherine Tai, the US’s new trade representative, but doubts remain whether the deal can be agreed in time to qualify for Washington’s fast-track process for trade agreements, which expires in July.

Chief executive Zillah Byng-Thorne’s salary is poised to rise 21pc under the new policy, meaning her total pay packet could reach £3.3m

Chief executive Zillah Byng-Thorne’s salary is poised to rise 21pc under the new policy, meaning her total pay packet could reach £3.3m
The publisher of Marie Claire and Country Life faces a revolt over its “extremely high” executive pay and a failure to respond to shareholder protests.
Shareholder advisory firm Glass Lewis has urged investors to oppose Future’s remuneration policy at its annual meeting next month.
It highlighted “severe reservations” because Future’s new value creation plan (VCP) could lead to “excessive payouts” if share price targets are hit.
The VCP pays out once the Future share price, currently just under £18, climbs above £19.42, a level it exceeded as recently as November. The total return for shareholders must also top 10pc. Such targets are a red flag for Glass Lewis because they can be achieved by a shift in the markets rather than through the board’s actions.
Chief executive Zillah Byng-Thorne’s salary is poised to rise 21pc to £575,000 under the new policy, meaning her total pay packet could reach £3.3m through bonuses. She has been awarded £27m over her past six years at Future.
Shareholders winded Future at last year’s meeting when 16pc voted against its pay plans and nearly a quarter opposed its remuneration report.
Glass Lewis is calling on shareholders to take the same action at this year’s meeting by voting against the report, claiming it has “failed to adequately respond to shareholder dissent”. The proxy firm is also opposing the re-election of Hugo Drayton, remuneration chairman, claiming he has not “fulfilled his duties” over shareholder dissent.
Future has been hoovering up specialist magazines and websites, stripping out the costs and refashioning them as online-focused titles that guide readers towards buying products from ecommerce sites.
Investors backed the FTSE 250 company’s £594m takeover of GoCompare owner GoCo Group earlier this month, despite shares falling 16pc shortly after the deal was announced in November.
A Future spokesman said the board had consulted closely with shareholders and reflected on the feedback it received. He said the plan recognised the key role all staff play, would only reward “exceptional performance for creating long-term significant increases in shareholder value”, and was directly aligned to the interests of shareholders.

Facebook interfering in Uganda polls: govt

A Ugandan official has accused Facebook of meddling in Uganda's election after several accounts linked to the campaign of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni were removed for alleged inauthentic behaviour.
Presidential spokesman Don Wanyama told the Associated Press on Monday that Facebook's action was evidence of what Ugandan authorities see as outside support of Bobi Wine, the leading opposition candidate in presidential elections scheduled for Thursday.
"Facebook is interfering in the electoral process of Uganda," he said.
"If people wanted to have the evidence of outside interference, now they have it."
In a statement emailed to AP, Facebook said it removed a network of accounts and pages that "used fake and duplicate accounts to manage pages, comment on other people's content, impersonate users, re-share posts in groups to make them appear more popular than they were. Given the impending election in Uganda, we moved quickly to investigate and take down this network."
That network is linked to Uganda's Ministry of Information and Communications Technology, the statement said.
Wanyama charged that Facebook had blocked the accounts of Museveni's mobilisers, especially those who communicate in the local Luganda language.
Among those affected is a singer known as Full Figure, who is a well-known campaigner for Museveni, he said.
Some of the blocked Ugandan accounts campaigned harshly against presidential challenger Wine.
The 38-year-old Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, has fired the imagination of many across Africa as he tries to unseat Museveni, who has deployed the military to prevent what he sees as opposition attempts to create civil unrest that could cause regime change.
Wine's rallies are often disrupted by police, sometimes violently.
Wine and other opposition figures have called the 76-year-old Museveni a dictator.
Wine, a popular singer before he won a seat in parliament, has attracted attention as the beret-wearing leader of a movement known as "People Power".
He has been arrested many times and sometimes beaten in the past year for alleged offences such as disobeying lawful orders.
He has not been convicted of any charges.
Museveni has ruled Uganda since 1986.
He has defied many calls for his retirement, saying he has been elected many times by Ugandans who love him.

Fears over MoD ‘revolving door’ as lobby group hires former RAF chief

Previous top RAF staff joining industry have been told they aren't allowed to lobby the MoD, ministers or officials for a year
The “revolving door” between the Ministry of Defence and industry is under renewed scrutiny as the trade body representing aerospace and arms companies attempts to appoint a top RAF officer as its boss just months after his retirement from the military.
ADS, whose members include BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce, has selected Air Marshal Sir Julian Young as chief executive.
Sir Julian retired at the end of 2020 as director-general air in Defence Equipment & Support, the body that buys and supports equipment for the UK armed forces. Sir Julian stood down in the summer and officially retired at the end of the year.
ADS is understood to have offered him the job in October subject to it being approved by the Government’s watchdog, the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments.
ACOBA is an advisory body that gives recommendations on employment for government insiders who may have picked up confidential information that is useful to business.
Previous RAF staff of similar seniority to Sir Julian joining industry have been told by ACOBA they are not allowed to lobby the MoD, ministers or officials for a year after leaving.
There is no suggestion that Sir Julian has done anything wrong and ACOBA is still examining the job offer. Industry insiders told The Sunday Telegraph Sir Julian is “highly respected” and would be “an excellent appointment” for ADS.
However, governance campaigners have raised concerns. Duncan Hames, director at Transparency International UK, said: “The ‘revolving door’ between the public and private sectors can be beneficial, but it is also open to abuse unless properly regulated.
“It is hard to see how heading a trade body which lobbies government can be reconciled with the principles behind these rules.”
ADS said it had “run a recruitment process which identified a successor and will make an announcement in due course".

Gaziantep Ticaret Odası (GTO) Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Tuncay Yıldırım ve Meclis Başkanı M. Hilmi Teymur, yayımladıkları mesajla tüm basın mensuplarının “10 Ocak Çalışan Gazeteciler Günü”nü kutladı. GTO başkanları mesajında, "İnsanlık var olduğu günden bugüne haber alma, haberdar olma ihtiyacı duymuştur. Bugün de bu önemli görevi yağmur, çamur, kar, kış, pandemi demeden eşsiz emekleriyle gazetecilerimiz yapıyor. 100 yılda bir göreceğimiz salgın sürecinde de bizler için, toplumu bilgilendirmek için ön saflara atılan, tek gayesi toplum olan basın emekçilerimize ne kadar teşekkür etsek azdır" ifadelerini kullandı. Gazetecilerin, demokrasi kültürünün yerleşmesi, insan hak ve özgürlüklerinin geliştirilmesi, halkın tarafsız ve özgür bir şekilde bilgilendirilmesi, doğrunun ve yanlışın ortaya çıkartılması gibi pek çok önemli konuda büyük katkı sağladıklarını vurgulayan GTO başkanları mesajının devamında, "Ülkelerin özgürlüğü ve demokrasilerinin gelişmişliği yine basın özgürlüğüyle ilgilidir. Basın özgürlüğü ülkelerin gelişmişlik seviyesinde çok önemli bir göstergedir. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ün "Gazeteciler, gördüklerini, düşündüklerini, bildiklerini samimiyetle yazmalıdır." sözünde de belirttiği gibi gazetecilerimiz çekinmeden, korkmadan; sorunları, aksayan kısımları, doğru yapılan, yanlış yapılan işleri haberlerinde rahatlıkla işleyebilmeli. Unutulmamalıdır ki gazetecilerimiz çok kritik bir görevi icra ediyor. Topluma karşı büyük bir sorumlulukları var. Bu sorumluluk, gazetecilik etik kuralları ve toplumumuzun ahlaki değerleri asla unutulmamalı. Topluma yön veren bir mesleğe sahip olduklarının bilinciyle kendilerini daima geliştirmeli, örnek bireyler olmalıdırlar" ifadelerine yer verdi. Gazetecilik mesleğinin zorlu şartlar altında yapıldığını ve bu şartların iyileştirilmesi için birlik ve beraberlik içerisinde hareket edilmesi gerektiğini vurgulayan başkanların mesajının son bölümünde ise, "Bu önemli mesleği layıkıyla icra eden gazetecilerimiz gerek maddi gerekse manevi anlamda hak ettikleri değeri maalesef göremiyorlar. Biz Gaziantep Ticaret Olarak bu anlamda yerel gazetecilerimiz için elimizden geleni yapıyor, tek amacı şehrimiz ve toplumumuz olan gazetecilerimizin mesleklerini daha iyi şartlarda yapabilmesi için katkı sağlamaya çalışıyoruz. Bu vesileyle, demokrasimizin vazgeçilmezi, emektar gazetecilerimizin ‘10 Ocak Çalışan Gazeteciler Günü'nü en içten dileklerimizle kutluyor, aileleriyle birlikte sağlık ve huzur dolu günler diliyoruz" denildi.

Sundern Nun ist es passiert: Große Legosteine aus Beton riegeln den alten Parkplatz am Amecker Freibad ab.
Noch vor dem Wochenende wurden sie geliefert: Die großen Beton-Legosteine, um den Parkplatz des alten Freibades in Amecke für Parkende endgültig abzusperren und das Parken dort zu unterbinden. Die ersten Versuche, das Parkverbot nur mit Flatterband durchzusetzen, waren ja bekanntlich schon am Neujahrstag gescheitert.
Der Parkplatz ist ja seit dem 1. Januar 2021 in alleiniger Verfügungsgewalt der Besitzerin, der Berliner Helma Ferienimmobilien GmbH. Das Touristikunternehmen aus der Hauptstadt, das oberhalb des Parkplatzes einen Ferienpark mit 350 Häusern bauen will, hatte den Pachtvertrag mit der Sorpesee GmbH schon im April des vergangenen Jahres gekündigt. Wie schon mehrfach berichtet, war dies erfolgt, nachdem der Rat der Stadt Sundern den bestehenden Bebauungsplan für das Feriendorf aufgehoben und einen neuen Plan initiiert hatte. Dagegen hat die Helma GmbH geklagt. Ein Urteil zu diesem Thema beim Oberverwaltungsgericht Münster wird in Kürze erwartet.
Kostenlos genutzt
Am Wochenende konnten Autofahrer noch Schlupflöcher nutzen, um auf den Parkplatz zukommen. Und taten es auch, wie die Spuren im dünnen Schnee neben den Blöcken zeigten. Bis dahin war die Absperrung aber nur im vorderen Drittel komplett und es gab immer noch Möglichkeiten in das uns dem abgeriegelten Areal zukommen. Das nutzten in den vergangenen Tagen auch zahlreiche Spaziergänger am Vorbecken in Amecke und parkten auf dem alten Parkplatz. Der Vorteil: kostenlos, denn die Helma GmbH hat ja die Sorpesee GmbH angewiesen die Parkscheinautomaten bis zu Silvestertag 2020 abzubauen.
Wenig Parker auf Provisorium
Der neue provisorische Parkplatz unterhalb des maroden Freibades wird hingegen nur vereinzelt von Autofahrern angenommen: „Es war seit dem 30. Dezember nur relativ wenig, was wir an Parkgebühren eingenommen haben“, erklärt der technische Betriebsleiter der Sorpesee GmbH, Marc Puppe, unserer Zeitung.
Seit dem heutigen Montagmorgen sind die Betonsteine am unteren Parkplatz aber so gesetzt, dass es keine Schlupflöcher mehr gibt. Damit dürfte, so die Einschätzung von Marc Puppe, der provisorische Parkplatz jetzt auch vermehrt genutzt werden.
Großraumparkplatz an K5 wird ausgebaut
Bis zum Frühjahr soll, so der Ratsbeschluss aus dem Vorjahr, auch der Parkplatz „Zur schönen Aussicht“ an der Kreisstraße 5 erweitert werden. Die Ausschreibungen sollten noch Ende 2020 vorbereitet werden, so dass möglichst bald gebaut werden kann.

Basketball, Euroleague: Nur zwei Tage nach dem Bundesliga-Coup gegen Bayern München ist Alba Berlin eine Überraschung gelungen. In einem Nachholspiel siegten die ersatzgeschwächten Berliner Basketballer am Dienstag in eigener Halle vor leeren Rängen gegen den spanischen Meister Baskonia Vitoria-Gasteiz mit 95:91 (45:44). Für Alba war es nach drei Niederlagen in Serie wieder ein Erfolg in der Königsklasse. Beste Werfer beim deutschen Meister waren Jayson Granger mit 21 und Maodo Lo mit 19 Punkten. Bei Alba fehlte erneut das verletzte Quartett Luke Sikma, Peyton Siva, Marcus Eriksson und Kapitän Niels Giffey. Zudem befindet sich Trainer Aito Garcia Reneses nach seiner Corona-Infektion in Quarantäne. So brauchten die Berliner einige Minuten, um in die Partie zu kommen und lagen schnell mit 3:9 hinten. Sie konterten mit einem 14:0-Lauf.
Alba traf in der ersten Hälfte neun Drei-Punkt-Würfe bei nur 13 Versuchen, die Führung konnten sie bis zur Pause halten. Die Basken nutzten aber mehr und mehr ihre Vorteile unter dem Korb und die Berliner leisteten sich einige Ballverluste. Der Vorsprung schmolz auf einen Zähler zusammen. Nach dem Seitenwechsel agierte Alba wieder stark, konnte sich auf zwölf Zähler absetzen (64:52). Baskonia reagierte, spielte sehr aggressiv und ging zu Beginn des letzten Viertels nach langer Zeit wieder in Führung (79:74). Die Gastgeber blieben dran und glichen aus. Die Entscheidung fiel 6,8 Sekunden vor dem Ende, als Johannes Thiemann einen Freiwurf zum Endstand verwandelte.
Skispringen, Vierschanzentournee: Polens Olympiasieger Kamil Stoch hat auch die Qualifikation in Bischofshofen gewonnen und damit seine Favoritenstellung auf den Vierschanzentournee-Gesamtsieg untermauert. Der 33-Jährige sprang am Dienstag im Pongau 138 Meter und landete damit knapp vor den beiden Norwegern Robert Johansson und Halvor Egner Granerud. In der Tournee-Wertung liegt Stoch in Führung und nimmt damit Kurs auf seinen dritten Gesamtsieg. Sein stärkster Rivale, Landsmann und Titelverteidiger Dawid Kubacki, landete in der Qualifikation auf Rang sechs.
Schlechter lief es beim deutschen Duo Markus Eisenbichler (8.) und Karl Geiger (25.). "Der Quali-Sprung war nicht so sauber", sagte Geiger im ZDF. Um doch noch den ersten deutschen Tournee-Triumph seit Sven Hannawald 2002 zu schaffen, müsste Geiger rund 14 Meter auf Stoch aufholen und zudem auch Kubacki und Granerud überholen. Die weiteren vier deutschen Starter Martin Hamann, Pius Paschke, Severin Freund und Constantin Schmid haben sich ebenfalls für das Abschlussspringen am Mittwoch (16.45 Uhr/ZDF und Eurosport) qualifiziert.
Bundesliga, Fußball: Zugang Dominik Szoboszlai von RB Leipzig fällt für das Spitzenspiel in der Fußball-Bundesliga gegen Borussia Dortmund aus. "Ich habe Adduktorenprobleme, die hatte ich auch schon in Salzburg. Ich habe längere Zeit mit Schmerzmitteln gespielt. Trotzdem schaue ich nach vorne, will so schnell wie möglich zurückkommen", sagte der Ungar am Dienstag bei seiner Vorstellung in Leipzig. Somit fällt auch das Wiedersehen auf dem Platz mit seinem ehemaligen Salzburger Kumpel Erling Haaland an diesem Samstag (18.30 Uhr) im Duell gegen die Borussen flach. "Ja, es wäre wirklich perfekt gewesen, es tut sehr weh, doch die Gesundheit ist das Wichtigste."
Der 20-jährige Szoboszlai möchte sich Zeit nehmen. Ziel der Rückkehr sei im Februar. "Momentan kann ich nicht auf dem Platz sein. Ich will so schnell wie möglich ins Training zurückkehren, um nicht nur 80 oder 90 Prozent geben zu können", betonte der Nationalspieler, der für 20 Millionen Euro vom Schwesterclub RB Salzburg kam. Dort hatte er 22 Partien bestritten, die meisten über die volle Distanz. Dabei erzielte Szoboszlai neun Tore, bereitete elf weitere vor.
Segeln, Vendee Globe: Segler Boris Herrmann hat bei der Vendee Globe ein wichtiges Etappenziel erreicht. Der 39 Jahre alte erste deutsche Teilnehmer passierte am frühen Dienstagmorgen um 3.27 Uhr deutscher Zeit nach 57 Tagen, 13 Stunden und 7 Minuten auf See das Kap Hoorn - das dritte, letzte und wichtigste Kap bei der Regatta um die Welt. Der Hamburger war Zehnter, als er den Längengrad des Kaps auf der chilenischen Felseninsel Isla Hornos erreichte, eine Stunde und 34 Minuten später folgte die Deutsch-Französin Isabelle Joschke.
Herrmann hatte auf dem Weg zum "wichtigsten Meilenstein meiner Reise" mehrere technische Probleme zu überwinden. Ein Kabelbruch sorgte für einen Ausfall seines Generators, zudem erschwerte ein Riss im Großsegel die ohnehin fordernde Passage. "Das war wie ein neuer Schlag ins Gesicht. Ich werde den Kampf niemals aufgeben, aber ich habe meine Position verloren, und das tut weh. Es tut sehr weh", sagte Herrmann. In Führung liegt auf dem letzten Drittel der beschwerlichen Reise der Franzose Yannick Bestaven.

The Ladbrokes owner's chairman, who rejected US partner MGM’s £8.1bn offer, says he welcomes other offers at the ‘right price’

The Ladbrokes owner's chairman, who rejected US partner MGM’s £8.1bn offer, says he welcomes other offers at the ‘right price’
The chairman of Entain has brushed aside claims that the gambling operator behind Ladbrokes and Coral is destined to fall into the clutches of Las Vegas casino operator MGM Resorts.
Barry Gibson, the former boss of Homeserve and Littlewoods, revealed MGM’s £8.1bn takeover offer, which collapsed last week, had already been increased twice behind closed doors.
Entain, formerly known as GVC, blossomed from Aim-quoted minnow to FTSE 100 giant in less than a decade by buying up UK names alongside agile online brands. Mr Gibson said Entain had “got another couple of quite large deals in development at various stages”.
He rejected claims that only MGM could buy Entain because the Las Vegas operator had blocking rights through its US joint venture.
MGM’s swoop for Entain, and associated rejection from Mr Gibson, had stoked hopes that the bid would be significantly sweetened.
Even though the deal collapsed, many believe MGM will return. Ivor Jones, Peel Hunt analyst, said: “Given the increasing significance of the MGM-Entain US joint venture, we believe it is likely that the two companies will merge one day.”
However, Mr Gibson said: “We’re not disappointed. We can deliver a lot more value for our shareholders over the next one to three years.”
City rules mean MGM cannot make another takeover attempt for six months. He said: “Anyone can buy Entain if they come up with the right price. It is true that if the ownership of Entain were to change, there are certain clauses that would have to be negotiated between the new owner and MGM. [But there is] nothing to stop anyone making a bid for Entain.”

Chinese Grand Prix set to be postponed

The Chinese Grand Prix is set to be postponed, with Formula One bosses working on a revamped calendar for the new season.
The race in Shanghai is pencilled in for April 11 but China's strict COVID-19 travel restrictions will make staging a race there in the coming months virtually impossible.
It means two of the opening three rounds of the sport's record-breaking 23-round schedule are poised to fall by the wayside after it emerged last week that March's season-opening Australian Grand Prix is almost certain to be postponed.
However, F1 bosses remain confident of staging 23 rounds, with Imola and Portugal the frontrunners to slot in to a rejigged schedule following the opening race, which will now likely take place in Bahrain on March 28.
It is expected that the Australian GP - cancelled last year after a British mechanic from McLaren tested positive for coronavirus following his arrival in Melbourne - will be moved a slot to November.
But the Chinese GP will only be rescheduled if another round is unable to go ahead.
A formal announcement of the changes to the calendar is expected this week.
Last year, the sport commendably went on to navigate a 17-round season in just 23 weeks, with Lewis Hamilton clinching a record-equalling seventh world championship.
The majority of those races were staged behind closed doors but it is hoped fans could be present for the start of Hamilton's title defence in Bahrain and the following rounds.
"Formula One has set out a 23 race calendar for 2021 and we fully expect to deliver that plan," an F1 spokesperson said.
"We proved in 2020 that we could return to racing safely and have the plans and procedures in place to do so again and look forward to starting our season in March."

Coal producer Yancoal Australia sees demand rebounding

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Yancoal Australia Ltd said on Tuesday it expects a rebound in demand for coal-fired electricity generation in 2021 as global economic conditions are set to improve.
Following China's unofficial ban on coal imports from its major supplier Australia in the second half of 2020, Yancoal has been diversifying its customer base with sales made into India, Pakistan and South America which it intends to widen.
It is believed that China, the world's biggest coal importer, imposed the ban in retaliation for Canberra's call for an international probe of the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.
Yancoal, whose largest shareholder is China's Yanzhou Coal Mining Co Ltd, warned that the influence of weather on both supply and demand along with regional trade settings would likely contribute to uncertainty regarding the direction of coal prices during the first half of 2021.
The company, which has mines and projects in New South Wales and Queensland, on Tuesday posted annual saleable coal production of 38 metric tons, which met its full-year target. (Reporting by Nikhil Subba in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel)

Sostiene il deputato Jim Clyburn che i ribelli del 6 gennaio, quelli che hanno attaccato il Congresso, avessero indicazioni dall’interno. Sostiene Clyburn che, altrimenti, non avrebbero saputo come trovare il suo ufficio. «Non ti ci imbatti per caso», ha detto a Cbs il democratico nero della South Carolina, 80 anni, l’uomo che con il suo endorsement ha lanciato, poco meno di un anno fa, la clamorosa rimonta presidenziale di Joe Biden. «Non sono andati nell’ufficio su Statuary Hall, quello che ha il mio nome sulla porta, ma nell’altra stanza, dove svolgo gran parte del mio lavoro e che non ha nessuna targhetta, a molestare il mio staff. Come ci sono arrivati?», si è chiesto l’ottantenne Clyburn. «Sapevano dove andare: alcuni parlamentari mi hanno detto che i membri dei loro staff hanno visto persone che venivano fatte entrare da ingressi secondari».
Fra i complici dell’assalto al Campidoglio ci sarebbe la neoeletta deputata repubblicana del Colorado Lauren Boebert, 36 anni, attivista per le armi eletta sull’onda delle teorie cospirative di QAnon. Titolare del ristorante Shooters Grill nella cittadina di Rifle — in Italia sarebbe forse la Locanda dello sparatore nella località di Fucile — Boebert ha prestato giuramento il 3 gennaio, poco dopo aver dichiarato in un video affidato ai social che avrebbe portato la sua Glock 9mm (carica) in aula e per le strade di Washington. «Contatteremo l’ufficio della deputata per essere sicuri che sia a conoscenza delle leggi in vigore nel District of Columbia», aveva immediatamente commentato il capo della polizia cittadina Robert Contee: i parlamentari possono portare armi in Congresso, ma non in aula.
Tre giorni dopo, nel nefasto 6 gennaio americano, Boebert ha contribuito ad aizzare la rivolta. «Oggi è il 1776», ha scritto su Twitter riferendosi all’anno della Dichiarazione di indipendenza, prima di denunciare in aula frodi elettorali di cui non esistono prove, neanche dopo 63 azioni legali — tutte respinte — presentate dalla campagna di Trump. E quando la folla ha invaso i corridoi di Capitol Hill, Boebert ha cominciato ad aggiornare i suoi follower sulla posizione della speaker Nancy Pelosi, il principale nemico della destra trumpiana.
«La speaker è stata rimossa dall’aula», ha scritto su Twitter, venendo subito denunciata dagli utenti che ne hanno chiesto — alternativamente — dimissioni, espulsione o arresto. Per la deputata con la Glock nella fondina è stata una prima settimana di fuoco, letteralmente, e davanti al suo ufficio di Pueblo sono già cominciati i sit-in di protesta di Rural Colorado United, un gruppo nato proprio contro l’estremismo di Boebert: «Ha appoggiato le milizie, non sa rispondere alle domande più semplici, è in cerca di celebrità partigiana», dicono. «Il terzo distretto del Colorado merita rappresentanti qualificati».
Fra le macerie lasciate dai ribelli a Capitol Hill emerge però un eroe, il poliziotto buono che potrebbe aver salvato parecchie vite. Nelle ore dell’attacco il reporter parlamentare di HuffPost Igor Bobic aveva diffuso un video drammatico dei ribelli che si intromettevano nella casa della democrazia americana, fronteggiati da un solo poliziotto nero armato di manganello che, impotente, indietreggiava fino a portare la folla all’interno dell’edificio. Le immagini erano diventate subito virali, ma non chiarivano la dinamica. Ora è emerso che l’agente della Capitol Police — identificato domenica come Eugene Goodman da Kristin Wilson di Cnn — aveva una strategia: arretrando ha depistato gli estremisti trumpiani, portandoli lontano dall’aula e permettendo così ai senatori di fuggire.
«Se i ribelli avessero svoltato a destra, invece che a sinistra, si sarebbero trovati a pochi metri dall’ingresso principale del Senato», ha spiegato il Washington Post in un’accurata ricostruzione dei fatti del 6 gennaio. «Dall’altro lato di quella porta, se fossero entrati, c’era mezza dozzina di agenti armati, incluso uno con un fucile semiautomatico che tenevano d’occhio tutte le entrate: il gruppo — composto solo da uomini bianchi — ha seguito invece l’agente nero nell’altra direzione, imbattendosi in un altro gruppo di poliziotti che stazionavano in un corridoio sul retro». Nel frattempo, i senatori riuscivano a fuggire e l’aula veniva sigillata.
«È stata solo una questione di secondi», scrive ora Bobic, l’autore del video, ammettendo che sul momento non aveva compreso cosa stesse avvenendo davvero. «Ora è chiaro cosa ha fatto quest’uomo», ha scritto su Twitter Pamela Colloff, giornalista di ProPublica. «Ha depistato la folla portandola lontano dalla porta del Senato, usando se stesso — un uomo nero — come esca. È un eroe nazionale, ed è fortunato di essere ancora vivo». Ora c’è chi ringrazia l’agente Goodman, chi chiede per lui la medaglia d’onore del Congresso e chi, come Colloff, lo definisce un’eroe nazionale, che ha salvato molte vite. «Il suo nome è Eugene Goodman, ricordatevelo», ha scritto Kristin Wilson. «I miei ringraziamenti, agente Goodman».

Bochum. Die Inhaberin eines Modegeschäftes beteiligt sich an Protest-Aktion. Sie gibt bestellte Waren heraus. Das Ordnungsamt hat sie im Blick.
Das kleine Modegeschäft auf der Ecke an der Wattenscheider Ostraße, der lokalen Einkaufsmeile vor Ort, gibt es seit mehr als fünf Monaten. Jetzt geht es schon um die Existenz. Die Inhaberin Tina Nordhausen hat vom Beginn des zweiten Lockdowns für den Handel ihr Geschäft zum Abholen bestellter Ware geöffnet gehalten. Sie weiß, dass etliche kleinere Einzelhändler ganz ähnlich wie sie denken. Doch viele hätten schlicht Angst.
+++ Sie wollen keine Informationen in Bochum verpassen? Dann können Sie hier unseren Newsletter für Bochum abonnieren. Jeden Abend schicken wir Ihnen die Nachrichten aus der Stadt per Mail zu. +++
Mit ihrer schwarzen Mund-Nasen-Bedeckung steht sie beinahe etwas trotzig vor dem Eck-Ladenlokal. Ein Tisch mit Desinfektionsmittel und Mund-Nasenschutz-Masken blockiert den Zugang. "Ich halte mich an alle Hygieneauflagen, trotzdem hat mich das Ordnungsamt im Blick", sagt sie.
Stadt will keine Anzeige erstattet haben
Ihren Angaben zufolge habe sie am vergangenen Freitag eine Anzeige erhalten, die noch schriftlich zugestellt werde. Schon zuvor, berichtet sie, habe sie vom Ordnungsamt eine Ermahnung bekommen. "Jemand sagte mir, 'wenn ein Kunde vor dem Schaufenster steht, ist er quasi im Geschäft`."
Auf Anfrage der WAZ verneint die Stadt, eben dass es aufgrund dieser Art der Geschäftsöffnung eine Anzeige gegeben habe. "Die Ladeninhaberin muss sich aber genau an die Auflagen halten", so Stadtsprecher Thomas Sprenger. Er will nicht ausschließen, dass es eine Verwarnung durch Ordnungsamtsmitarbeiter aufgrund anderer Verstöße gegeben haben könnte.
+++ Das sind die neuen Corona-Regeln für Bochum +++
Gerd Marquis kommt gerade vorbei und sieht die Schilder an der Schaufensterscheibe, sogar ein kleines Filmchen hat Tina Nordhausen, die auch Diplom Designerin ist, produziert. Es läuft über einen Flachbildschirm und der steht direkt im Schaufenster. Das schafft Aufmerksamkeit, wie sie sie bereits in den Sozialen Netzwerken reichlich bekommt. Marquis hat Verständnis für die Aktion: "Irgendwie muss es ja auch weiter gehen. Ich find das gut."
Ein anderer Passant zeigt die Straße hinauf, wo in einem Billig-Discounter durchaus andere Waren angeboten werden. Zwar sei ein Teil davon abgehängt und dürfe nicht verkauft werden aber das Geschäft hat tatsächlich geöffnet. Kunden gehen ein und aus.
"Dann wird die Ware verscherbelt"
Detlef Eis, Geschäftsmann aus Oberhausen und ein Bekannter von Tina Nordhausen ist ebenfalls gekommen, um sich vor Ort anzuschauen, wie das kleine Geschäft versucht, wenigstens ein wenig Umsatz zu machen: "Das ist doch alles Winterware, die hat doch stündlich weniger wert und spätestens im Februar wird sie dann nur noch verscherbelt." Er selbst überlege, es in seinem Geschäft in Oberhausen eventuell künftig ähnlich wie die Wattenscheiderin zu handhaben.
Tina Nordhausen gibt an, für die Monate November und Dezember Anträge auf öffentliche Corona-Hilfe gestellt zu haben. "Bekommen habe ich bislang rein gar nichts". Sie versteht auch nicht, warum etwa die Kunden großer Elektro- oder Bücherketten, online bestellte Ware abholen könnten und dann stünden sogar lange Schlangen vor dem Schalter, so schlimm sei die Situation in Wattenscheid doch nicht.
>>>Stadt verweist auf die NRW-Coronaschutzverordnung
Für Geschäftsleute gilt insbesondere das Abstands- und Hygienegebot. Insbesondere für Einzelhändler wichtig ist folgender Passus aus §11 der Verordnung: "…Zulässig ist insoweit lediglich der Versandhandel und die Auslieferung bestellter Waren, die Abholung bestellter Waren durch Kunden ist nur zulässig, wenn sie unter Beachtung von Schutzmaßnahmen vor Infektionen kontaktfrei erfolgen kann."
Organisiert wird die bundesweite Aktion "Wir machen AUFmerksam" von Uwe Bernecker vom Frankfurter Modelabel Funky Staff und Günter Nowodworski, Inhaber einer Kommunikations-Agentur.

Sky is urging broadcasting watchdog Ofcom to take tougher action on the BBC
SKY has warned the BBC is at risk of harming viewers and “distorting the market” for rivals by failing to keep its commercial arm separate.
The pay-TV giant is urging the regulator to take tougher action on the corporation, claiming it was “gaming the system” through “intragroup” deals by allowing BBC Studios and its public service arm to remain too close.
Sky, owned by the American cable operator Comcast, pointed to the executives sitting on both its main board and commercial boards as an example of “cross contamination” and raised concerns about the “unfair competitive advantage” handed to BritBox, the subscription, streaming platform co-funded by the BBC and ITV.
It warned the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom that a lack of separation could cause market distortion that would leave the BBC in breach of its Royal Charter.
Sky said: “The lack of separation between BBC Studios and the Public Service, combined with the lack of transparency around how these two entities interact, demonstrate the inadequacy of the current framework and Ofcom’s ability to hold the BBC to account. As a result, the BBC has been able to game the system and enter into intragroup arrangements which risk distorting the market in breach of the BBC’s regulatory obligations, to the ultimate detriment of end consumers.”
The BBC has taken steps to bolster its commercial operations to take pressure off the annual £157.50 licence fee.
The broadcaster merged BBC Studios, its production arm, and BBC Worldwide, its distribution arm, four years ago to beef up its commercial operations in response to the threat posed by American streaming services such as Netflix.
The appointment of Tim Davie, the former boss BBC Studios, as the BBC director general in June was a signal that it would step up its commercial ambitions amid political pressure over the future of the licence fee.
Sky struck a deal with BBC Studios two years ago to bring the vast back catalogue of the broadcaster’s comedy and drama box sets to its viewers.
An agreement was also sealed earlier this month to give Sky Q customers access to BBC Sounds, the broadcaster’s podcast and radio app. However, Sky told Ofcom it was concerned that the BBC was putting rivals that want to licence its content at a “disadvantage” by making key BBC shows “exclusively available” to BritBox.
A BBC spokesman said: “What the BBC is attempting to do is maximise value to the licence fee payer. That includes growing our commercial income – something we have specifically been challenged to do.”
An Ofcom spokesman said it was reviewing the consultation responses and would publish its findings this year.

WARSAW, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Mobile games developer Huuuge Inc. plans to raise up to $150 million from a new share issue and its current shareholders could sell shares worth a similar amount, the company's founder and chief executive told Reuters.
The company had said on Monday it expected to raise up to $150 million from a new share issue as part of its planned initial public offering (IPO) in Warsaw.
"WSE is one of the most active gaming public stock exchange on the globe. I could not find a better place for Huuuge for the next chapter," CEO Anton Gauffin told Reuters.
"The offering itself is a hybrid of primary and secondary. The primary portion is up to approximately 150 million dollars and the secondary shares is an approximate same amount...," Gauffin also said.
Huuuge, which employs more than 400 people in Poland, joins a list of companies that have targeted IPOs as coronavirus lockdowns prompt more people to go online for entertainment, shopping and other needs.
The company plans to use the IPO proceeds for potential acquisitions and investment.
"Last year we did three acquisitions. I hope that in 2021 we will see even more action," the CEO said.
The group said it generated revenue of $244 million for the nine months to Sept. 30, 2020 compared with $187 million in the same period of 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, rose to $54.2 million from $9.3 million a year earlier.
"Q4 was very good for us and December was actually our best month ever, so all in all 2020 was great," Gauffin said.
"I think that 9 months numbers clearly are giving kind of an indication of what to expect for the whole year in terms of revenues."

Covid: Vaccine plea for learning disabled home residents

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Adults with learning disabilities who live in supported housing should be a higher priority for the Covid-19 vaccination, campaigners have said.

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Adults with learning disabilities who live in supported housing should be a higher priority for the Covid-19 vaccination, campaigners have said.
An academic said people with learning disabilities aged over 35 were at the same risk of dying as those over 80.
A parents and carers' group want them vaccinated in the same round as health and social care workers and over-80s.
The Welsh Government said the priority groups were set by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation.
There are about 3,500 adults with learning disabilities living in supported accommodation in Wales.
People with learning disabilities are six times more likely to die from the virus than people of the same age and sex, according to a recent report from .css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link{color:#3F3F42;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited{color:#696969;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited{font-weight:700;border-bottom:1px solid #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:focus{border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-width:2px;color:#B80000;}@supports (text-underline-offset:0.25em){.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited{border-bottom:none;-webkit-text-decoration:underline #BABABA;text-decoration:underline #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-decoration-thickness:1px;-webkit-text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-underline-offset:0.25em;}.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-1xgj2ad-InlineLink:visited:focus{-webkit-text-decoration-color:currentcolor;text-decoration-color:currentcolor;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#B80000;}}Public Health England.
Anyone under 70 who is "clinically extremely vulnerable" is in the fourth group on the priority list, while those paid to care for people with learning disabilities in supported living are in the second.
Pauline Dowden's son Steven, 36, is profoundly autistic with severe learning disabilities and lives in supported accommodation in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Mrs Dowden said: "His oral skills are very poor, and his speech is like a two-year-old's. He's also very obese, 6ft 3in, and 32 stone. He was always big but he's put on a lot of weight since the Covid outbreak, because his activities - like walking, swimming and basketball - stopped."
Steven has a team of 10 carers who work in shifts to care for him 24 hours a day.
Those carers will be in priority group two for the vaccine but Mrs Dowden wants Steven and others in similar situations to be vaccinated at the same time.
While they are not more at risk of catching Covid-19, the impact of the disease is more severe than those without learning disabilities.
Mrs Dowden said they had been "forgotten about".
"I am deeply saddened and constantly worried about my son's wellbeing. I think it's appalling that they're forgotten about. I think it's appalling that their needs are not being recognised by those in authority.
"It's their duty to look after the most vulnerable in society, are they doing that? In my opinion? No."
Mrs Dowden is worried Steven would not survive if he caught Covid-19.
Kate Young, director of the All Wales Forum of Parents and Carers of People with Learning Disabilities, said there should be a similar system to care home settings where residents and staff are in the same priority group.
Ms Young said adults with learning disabilities were more vulnerable, and as the number living in supported housing was fairly small it would be "illogical" not to vaccinate them at the same time as their carers.
"When it comes to supported living it feels like we have a disparity," Ms Young added.
"Understandably we have focused on ensuring that care homes residents and care home staff are getting the vaccination, but on equal parity so that residents are receiving the vaccination alongside the staff member, in order to ensure the risk of Covid-19 is eradicated from those settings."
She now wants the same thing to happen in supported housing.
Prof Stuart Todd, a professor of intellectual disability research at the University of South Wales, said adults who are aged 35 and over with a learning disability have an equal risk of dying as those who are aged over 80 in the general population.
He said underlying health conditions and health inequalities were some of the reasons why this was the case.
He agreed that vaccinating front-line carers should be prioritised over the general population.
However he added: "If you give vaccinations to the same number of people with learning disabilities that you might provide to people in the general population you will save more lives. The impact is huge."
A Welsh Government spokesperson said all people in the highest priority groups would be immunised as safely and as soon as possible.
"People with severe and profound learning disabilities will usually be classed by their clinician as clinically extremely vulnerable, whilst other people with learning disabilities which are less complex are included in priority group six," they said.

Der Teich im Bochumer Stadtpark wird saniert. Die CDU im Bezirk Mitte will zudem die Fontäne und den kleinen Wasserfall reaktivieren
Nach wiederholten Initiativen der CDU zur Sanierung des Stadtparks und insbesondere der dortigen Teiche haben unlängst die Arbeiten zur Verbesserung der Wasserqualität des Gondelteichs begonnen: Das Wasser aus dem Gondelteich ist inzwischen fast vollständig abgelassen und nach der vorübergehenden Umsiedlung von Fischen und Kleinstlebewesen, wie z.B. Muscheln, wird der Gondelteich gereinigt, entschlammt und dadurch vertieft. Im Sommer sollen die Arbeiten abgeschlossen werden.
Fische starben an Sauerstoffmangel im Bochumer Gondelteich
„Insbesondere die Verschlammung des Teichs und der geringe Sauerstoffgehalt des Wassers haben in der Vergangenheit dem Fischbestand zu schaffen gemacht und die Attraktivität des Naherholungs-Treffs beeinträchtigt“, teilt CDU-Bezirksvertreterin Susanne Dewender mit.

„So verendeten im Sommer 2018 viele Fische, der Teich musste seitdem provisorisch belüftet werden und bei einem Wasserstand von nur noch rund einem Meter konnte er kaum noch mit Tret- oder Ruderbooten befahren werden.“
Wasserqualität bleibt eine Daueraufgabe
Die Wasserqualität und ein zureichender Sauerstoffgehalt bleiben aber auch nach der Teichsanierung eine Daueraufgabe. „Da liegt es doch nahe, im Gondelteich die frühere Wasserfontäne zu reparieren und die Pumpanlage für den kleinen Wasserfall zu ertüchtigen. Auf diese Weise ließen sich die Wasserumwälzanlagen zur Freude der Besucherinnen und Besucher sowie zur Sicherung des erforderlichen Sauerstoffgehalts nutzen“, meint Susanne Dewender.
Der Zeitpunkt für entsprechende Sanierungsarbeiten an den Pumpen scheint nach Absicht der CDU im Bezirk Mitte günstig: Wegen der Trockenlegung des Teichs seien die Anlagen jetzt gut erreichbar.
Attraktivität kann gesteigert werden
„Das war in der Vergangenheit ein Grund dafür, dass von der Reparatur abgesehen wurde. Der Gondelteich ist ein generationenübergreifender Lieblingsort vieler Bochumerinnen und Bochumer. Mit der Reparatur der Fontäne und des kleinen Wasserfalls kann seine Attraktivität mitten in der stadtnahen Grünfläche wieder gesteigert werden“, so Dewender weiter.
In der nächsten Sitzung der Bezirksvertretung Bochum-Mitte (21.) wird die CDU daher eine entsprechende Anfrage an die Verwaltung stellen.

Jason Kerr, Shaun Rooney and Craig Conway scored the goals to take Callum Davidson's side back to Hampden Park

Jason Kerr, Shaun Rooney and Craig Conway scored the goals to take Callum Davidson's side back to Hampden Park
St Johnstone strode into the final of the Betfred Scottish League Cup final with a performance which embarrassed Hibernian’s defenders at Hampden Park with goals from Jason Kerr, Shaun Rooney and Craig Conway. Jack Ross and his players could not complain about inequity of opportunity, because they could have been three goals ahead before the Perth side edged in front but were twice repelled by the woodwork and otherwise undone by failure to press their early superiority.
Like planetary conjunctions, the appearance of four non-Old Firm sides in the semi-finals of a Scottish knockout tournament is a notable event and one of rare potential for the participants. So much so, in fact, that Celtic – who retained the Scottish Cup against Hearts in the deferred 2020 final at Hampden last month - had monopolised the domestic honours for four years.
Celtic’s ejection from this competition by Ross County, along with St Mirren’s dismissal of Aberdeen and Rangers, left Hibs as the latest favourites to take the silverware at the scene of their Scottish Cup victory over Rangers in 2016. Two years earlier, St Johnstone won that trophy for the first time in their history, an accomplishment sufficiently recent to sharpen their appetites for a repeat in the current tournament, especially since they were beaten by Celtic at this stage last season.
St Johnstone's form in the run-up to this contest was not encouraging, with only three wins from 14 matches, but Hibs were scarcely better off, with just two successes in seven outings, although last week’s 2-0 win over Kilmarnock boosted their morale. On this occasion, Jack Ross’s players were the better side over the first half hour, although it took them time to gain momentum against opponents who were willing to clatter into challenges, one of which – by Shaun Rooney on Ryan Porteous looked worthy of a yellow card – and who were playing a direct game from back to front.
Not that it would have done Saints much good had Hibs converted their abundant chances, the first of which was forged by Paul Hanlon with an overhead delivery which looked set to curl in at Zander Clark’s left-post but was clawed wide by the goalkeeper. Clark was also decisive midway through the half when, although diving the wrong way, stopped an attempt by Murphy with his foot.
The rebound fell straight back to Murphy who was confounded again as the ball smacked off the crossbar. The same frustration was visited upon Jackson Irvine when the Australian’s head flick from a Josh Doig cross struck the junction of post and bar. St Johnstone then demonstrated the art when their first corner kick was delivered by David Wotherspoon for Kerr to outjump Ryan Porteous to head powerfully into the net.
Saints repeated the lesson within five minutes of the second half when Rooney bulleted a header from a Conway free kick beyond Ofir Marciano, who was again confounded in the 63nd minute by Conway’s back post tap-in as Hanlon dozed.
Ross looked dazed by this turn of events and, when he gathered his senses, the Hibs manager sent on Christian Doidge, Kyle Magennis and – in his first appearance since an injury in August – Scott Allan in midfield but, although the Easter Road side pressed with increased vigour, they were comfortably handled by St Johnstone, who will contest the trophy with the winners of today’s semi-final between St Mirren and Livingston.

"Nell'attuale fase pandemica la criminalità sembra aver orientato i propri interessi sull'indebita percezione delle rilevanti e diversificate misure economiche di sostegno disposte dal governo e, prevedibilmente, sulle future risorse che saranno garantite nell'ambito del Recovery Fund". A lanciare l'allarme è il quarto report dell'Organismo permanente di monitoraggio ed analisi sul rischio di infiltrazione nell'economia da parte della criminalità organizzata di tipo mafioso, presieduto dal prefetto Vittorio Rizzi.
"La diffusione del coronavirus - si legge nel report - ha impattato significativamente sul sistema economico, alla luce delle misure restrittive assunte per arginare l'emergenza epidemiologica, che hanno determinato la chiusura di quasi tutte le attività e la riduzione drastica dei consumi. In tale scenario, i gruppi criminali, allo scopo di cogliere le opportunità di investimento offerte dall'evoluzione e dalla persistenza della pandemia hanno rivolto i propri interessi non solo verso i citati comparti economici, ma anche nei confronti degli operatori più danneggiati dalle misure di distanziamento sociale adottate in fase di lockdown, come la filiera della ristorazione, la ricezione alberghiera e l'offerta turistica".
Proprio sul versante della criminalità mafiosa, le recenti indagini confermano il tentativo di "accedere illecitamente alle misure di sostegno all'economia, con modalità del tutto assimilabili a quelle adottate dalla più generale criminalità economico-finanziaria (falsificazione di documenti fiscali, utilizzazione strumentale di società cartiere, coinvolgimento di esperti giuridico-contabili)"; "ottenere, da parte delle strutture sanitarie interessate, il pagamento di prestazioni rese da aziende contigue attraverso condotte corruttive"; "infiltrarsi nei servizi di sanificazione che interessano le strutture turistico alberghiere e commerciali".
Fortemente avvertito anche "il rischio che la criminalità organizzata tenti di 'accreditarsi' presso gli imprenditori in crisi di liquidità per imporre il ricorso a forme di welfare mediante misure di sostegno finanziario, nell'ottica di salvaguardare la continuità aziendale e di subentrare poi negli asset proprietari o di controllo, oppure eserciti forme oppressive di usura anche verso le fasce più deboli della popolazione, in ragione della crisi di liquidità e lavorativa".
