A Florida businessman convicted of orchestrating a $1billion Medicare fraud scheme, spent New Year's Eve as a free man and dancing at his daughter's wedding, days after he was pardoned by President Trump.
Philip Esformes, 52, was included in Trump's long list of pardons and commutations granted to more than 200 convicts in the final days of his presidency.
The healthcare executive was convicted in 2019 on 20 criminal counts in what prosecutors described as one of the biggest Medicare fraud cases in US history.
Esformes had operated a network of nursing homes and assisted living facilities in South Florida and was found guilty of paying kickbacks and bribes to doctors and administrators so they would refer patients to his businesses.
FBI agents at the time described him as a 'man driven by almost unbounded greed.'
Yet, Esformes ultimately served just four of a 20-year prison sentence after he was granted a commutation on December 22.
The president at the time claimed the move had been supported by a number of former attorneys general and said Esformes was ailing.
'While in prison, Mr. Esformes, who is 52, has been devoted to prayer and repentance and is in declining health,' the White House said in a statement.
Just days after his release, Esformes was photographed dancing at his daughter Serena's wedding held in the backyard of his multimillion-dollar Miami Beach home, the New York Times reported.
But the celebration - and Esformes's release - appeared to have angered some of his own neighbors.
On Twitter, Gary Ressler shared a photo of what looked like a gift basket sent by the newly weds to neighbors as an apology for the loud festivities.
'Wishing you a happy & healthy 2021! We apologize in advance for any noise from the celebration of our marriage. Xoxo, Drew and Serena,' the couple said in a note along with a champagne gift basket.
The gesture, however, still did not sit well with Ressler.
'This mother******, Philip Esformes stole $1.5BB from [Medicare] couldn't be bothered to mow his lawn for the four years he spent in the prison but, days after a [Trump] pardon, he found the wherewithal to host a grand wedding for his daughter in his backyard tonight!' Ressler tweeted.
'#CrimePays,' he added.
Federal prosecutor Paul E. Pelletier, who spent years pursuing charges in the case, spoke out against the presidential pardon which he said undermined the hard work and duties of public servants.
'It is an incredible kick in the teeth to the agents and prosecutors who toil away every day under very difficult circumstances to achieve justice and some restitution to the taxpayers from the billions of dollars that has literally been stolen from them,' Pelletier told the Times.
'If you are going to steal $250 million from Medicare, you are going to jail for 20 years. I have no sympathy for these people. None,' he added, revealing the prosecution had intentionally sought long sentences to make an example of the fraudster.
Included in Trump's list of controversial pardons at the time was Judith Negron, who had been convicted in a separate case in health care fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.
She had served only eight years of a 35-year sentence at a Florida prison when she was released in October.
Just two months later, Trump commuted the remainder of her term of supervised release.
The president sparked further outrage earlier this month when he granted clemency to another healthcare professional in Florida convicted of fraud.
Dr. Salomon Melgen was accused of bilking Medicare out of at least $73million by persuading numerous elderly patients to undergo tests and get treatment for diseases they did not actually have.
Eventually, he was put on trial in West Palm Beach federal court. He was convicted in April 2017 on 67 counts, including health care fraud, submitting false claims and falsifying patient records. A judge put Melgen, now 66, in prison for 17 years.
Melgen was released last week as part of 73 pardons and 70 commutations granted by Trump in the final hours of his term.
A White House statement credited Bob Menendez with supporting clemency for Melgen, who was a donor to Democratic politicians and a longtime friend of the Cuban-American New Jersey senator.
The statement said clemency for Melgen also was supported by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a Florida Republican, and members of Brigade 2506, the Cuban exile group involved in the CIA-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961.
'Numerous patients and friends testify to his generosity in treating all patients, especially those unable to pay or unable to afford healthcare insurance,' the White House statement said.

Bochum Das Kulturhaus Thealozzi hat ein fieses Jahr hinter sich. Das meiste fiel wegen Corona aus. Und daran ändert sich auch erstmal nichts.
Das Kulturhaus Thealozzi zählt seit Jahrzehnten zu den festen Größen der Freien Szene in Bochum; schade also, dass man so gut wie nichts mehr vom Stahlhauser Künstler-Kollektiv hört. Aber wie sollte man auch? Die Pandemie setzt auch dem Thealozzi zu, Vorstellungen und Kurse fielen und fallen aus, aktuell ist die Spielstätte bis zum 31. Januar geschlossen – mindestens.
„Der Jahresanfang ist eine gute Gelegenheit, Rückschau zu halten. Auch, um damit Pläne für die kommenden Zeiten präziser formulieren zu können. Nun ist dies unter den momentanen Bedingungen eine größere Herausforderung als es noch im Januar 2020 gewesen wäre“, räumt Thealozzi-Sprecher Phil Regener ein.

Unterricht wurde zum Teil ins Internet verlegt
Insgesamt haben sich im Thealozzi zahlreiche Aktivitäten seit dem ersten Lockdown im März 2020 gezwungenermaßen von der Live-Bühne weg verlagert, beispielsweise der Unterricht. Sei es über das Internet (wie in André Dinters Impro-Kursen) oder – als es noch erlaubt war – in Kleingruppen unter persönlicher Begegnung. „Letzteres natürlich nur mit Sicherheitsabstand, ausreichender Belüftung und unter Einhaltung angemessener Hygiene-Regeln“, so Regener.
Sommercamp für Kinder fand erstmals seit elf Jahren nicht statt
Besonders bitter: Auch das beliebte Kinder-Sommercamp musste ausfallen, erstmals seit elf Jahren. Was die in den letzten Jahren manchmal sehr abenteuerliche Finanzierung des Projekts nicht schaffte, machte jetzt das Virus unmöglich – unter Corona-Bedingungen war die Arbeit der Thealozzi-Künstler*innen mit den jungen Teilnehmern nicht möglich.
Stattdessen wurde eine kreatives „Geister Camp“ aufgelegt, eine interaktive Ausstellung auf Grundlage der bisher angebotenen Sparten (Medien, Theater, Musik, bildende Kunst, Artistik, Performance), bei der man per Mausklick mitmachen konnte. „Das war gleichzeitig ein gutes Beispiel dafür, wie aus Einschränkungen sich etwas Neues entwickeln und sich der Situation anpassen lässt“, so Phil Regener.
+++ Aktuelle Fallzahlen aus Bochum, neue Verordnungen, neue Erkenntnisse der Impfstoff-Forschung: Das Corona-Update hält Sie auf dem Laufenden. +++
Die verschiedenen Thealozzi-Akteure sind zwar stillgelegt, aber natürlich weiter produktiv, selbst wenn nicht klar ist, wann sie ihre Künste wieder vor Publikum darbieten können. Das gilt für die Musikprojekte von Uwe Kellerhoff und Milli Häuser (Tatort Jazz) ebenso wie für die Aufführungen des Theaters ohne Mittel oder jene von Thos Renneberg.
Der Schauspieler und Regisseur hatte sein neues Stück „Ein Schaf fürs Leben“ für Kinder ab 5 Jahren fix und fertig, alle hatten sich auf die wunderbare Geschichte einer höchst ungewöhnlichen Freundschaft zwischen einem Wolf und dem titelgebenden Schaf gefreut - es gab zwei Vorstellungen, dann schloss sich der Corona-Vorhang.
Man hofft auf ein Wiedersehen mit dem Publikum - irgendwann
Nun hoffen alle, das „Schaf fürs Leben“ irgendwann in 2021 wiederzusehen. Wann das sein könnte, ist völlig offen, da niemand weiß, wie lange der Lockdown dauern wird – und ob danach unter Hygiene- und Abstandsregeln weitergespielt werden kann/darf. Was ebenso gilt für Frank Hoelz‘ Alles-ist-drin-Format „Bochumer Allerlei“, die Vorstellungen der Theatergruppe „Das Consortium“, die Aufführungen der Gruppe Thea Terra oder den unterhaltsamen Thealozzi-Dauerbrenner „Das Idioten-Aquarium“.

FOREX-Dollar drops as traders prepare for Yellen to talk up stimulus

LONDON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The dollar dropped on Tuesday as investors prepared for U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen to talk up the need for major fiscal stimulus and commit to a market-determined exchange rate when she testifies later in the day.
The dollar's fall came after a 2% rise so far in 2021, a gain which caught off guard many investors who had bet on a further decline following its weakness in 2020.
The dollar has been helped in January by rising U.S. Treasury yields and some investor caution about the strength of the global economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. But most analysts are sticking with their calls for a weaker dollar from here.
"On fiscal policy, Yellen is to suggest that the US `act big' and make use of the low borrowing costs. On the dollar, it should be reiterated that the new administration is committed to the market-determined exchange rate. Both are in line with our weak USD outlook," ING analysts wrote.
President-elect Joe Biden has proposed a $1.9 trillion fiscal stimulus package.
The Wall Street Journal on Monday reported Yellen, who is appearing before the Senate Finance Committee, will affirm a more conventional commitment to market-set currency rates in her Senate testimony on Tuesday.
That contrasts with outgoing President Donald Trump, who often railed against dollar strength.
The dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of other currencies, dropped 0.3% to 90.472, but it was still above the its more than two-and-a-half-year low of 89.206 touched at the start of this month.
With the dollar weakening, the euro gained, rising 0.5% to $1.2132.
The single currency was unaffected by Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte's facing a confidence vote to stay in office. The result vote is due after 1800 GMT.
More volatile and commodity-linked currencies, such as the Australian dollar, also benefited from the weaker U.S. currency, with the Aussie up 0.3% at $0.7707.
Rising commodity prices in recent months have boosted currencies of countries with large commodity exports, such as Australia and Canada.
"We continue to see scope for further gains in commodity-related currencies in the year ahead, which should benefit as well from the strengthening global recovery once vaccines are rolled out more widely," said Lee Hardman, an analyst at MUFG.
Sterling rose 0.2% to $1.3620.
The dollar rose against the yen and was last up 0.3% to 104.02 yen, although still consolidating in a narrow range after reaching a one-month high of 104.40 last week.
Emerging-market currencies were mostly higher but were some way off recent highs.

U.S. pet food company expands recall after more than 70 dogs die,...

Jan 12 (Reuters) - Midwestern Pet Foods Inc is expanding a recall to include several more products sold under its Sportmix brand and other labels after at least 70 dogs died and 80 others are known to have become ill, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday.
The food was found to have potentially unsafe levels of aflatoxins, a byproduct of mold, and the company is expanding its voluntary recall of pet foods issued on Dec. 30.
"As of January 11, 2021, FDA is aware of more than 70 pets that have died and more than 80 pets that are sick after eating Sportmix pet food," the agency said.
Aflatoxin can grow on corn and other grains used in pet foods, according the FDA. At high levels, it can cause illness and death.
The Evansville, Indiana-based company, which has been family owned since 1926, said in a statement that until recently it has never had a product recall.
The product recall includes Midwestern brands Sportmix, Pro Pac Originals, Splash, Sportstrail and Nunn Better dry dog and cat foods produced at its Oklahoma factory, the company said.
"We continue a thorough review of our facilities and practices in full cooperation with FDA in an effort to better serve our customers and pet parents who have put their trust in us," the company said.
The FDA said that the actual number of dead and sickened animals might not be reflected in its count.
The agency said it "continues to work with veterinarians and state partners to follow up on suspected cases of aflatoxin poisoning."
Symptoms of aflatoxin poisoning include sluggishness, loss of appetite and vomiting, the FDA said. (Reporting by Rich McKay in Atlanta Editing by Bill Berkrot)

Businessmen with heavy links to film and television lead the pack as Biden ponders London appointment

Businessmen with heavy links to film and television lead the pack as Biden ponders London appointment
Joe Biden is considering turning to Hollywood for his next British ambassador, according to UK officials who are working the phones to closely monitor his selection.
Two top businessmen with a TV background are thought to be in contention for the London job, one of the plum assignments in the US diplomatic circuit.
One is Jeffrey Katzenberg, the former chairman of Walt Disney Studios who is considered one of the most powerful men in the Los Angeles film scene.
At Disney, Mr Katzenberg helped make hits like Aladdin and The Lion King. He later co-founded DreamWorks Animation, which produced Shrek and Kung Fu Panda.
Mr Katzenberg hosted an event for Mr Biden during the presidential election campaign and gave $617,800 to the Biden Victory Fund.
The second is David Cohen, who stepped down as senior executive vice-president of the telecoms giant Comcast this month, when the switch in US president took place.
Comcast is one of the largest broadcasting and cable television companies in America, owning Universal Pictures - though Mr Cohen’s role focussed on law and communications.
Mr Cohen is an influential political player in Philadelphia. Mr Biden attended a fundraiser at Mr Cohen's home the day he announced his 2020 presidential bid.
A well-placed UK source said of the two men: “The British job normally goes to someone who’s rich and influential. They actually run businesses. They know what they’re doing.”
n the Hollywood press a third name from the world of the silver screen has been floated: Bob Iger, the current Disney executive chairman who himself once toyed with running for the 2020 presidency.
Unlike in Britain, where ambassadorships are almost always given to career diplomats, in America it is normal for top donors to be handed the roles.
Both Woody Johnson, Mr Trump’s UK ambassador, and Matthew Barzun, Barack Obama’s choice, had helped raise campaign money for their future bosses before getting the jobs.
During the race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination Mr Biden did not match a promise by then rival Elizabeth Warren to stop giving top diplomatic jobs to donors.
British officials believe Mr Biden is yet to make his final choice, with a number of other names being discussed as they reach out to well-placed figures for information.
Cindy McCain, the widow of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, has been floated as a possible selection in the media but UK diplomats play down its likelihood.
While she played a notable role in Mr Biden getting elected, with an endorsement followed by his victory in Mr McCain’s home state of Arizona, her appetite for the job is unclear.
Democratic senators such as Chris Coons, dubbed the ‘Biden whisperer’ for his closeness to the new president, have also been touted as possible picks.
Yet with the Democrats’ hold over the US Senate wafer-thin - they control the same number of seats as the Republicans, with vice president Kamala Harris getting the deciding vote on ties - such a path carries political risk.
Ted Kauffmen, one of Mr Biden’s oldest friends in politics who succeeded him as Delaware senator in 2009, ruled himself out of the running this week.
“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,” was Mr Kauffmen’s response when asked on Radio Four’s Today programme on Thursday if he would become the UK ambassador.
“My days of doing this are passed. I’ll be a helper, an adviser, but I'm 82-years-old,” Mr Kauffmen said. He demurred when told that was not much older than Mr Biden, 78.

Kremlin dismisses calls for sanctions over Navalny detention

MOSCOW, Jan 19 (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Tuesday it would not heed calls by some Western countries for sanctions over Russia's detention of poisoned opposition politician Alexei Navalny because his case was a purely domestic matter.
Navalny was detained on Sunday after flying back to Russia for the first time since he was attacked with a military-grade nerve agent last summer while travelling in Russia's east, and has urged Russians to take to the streets in protest.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia want the European Union to respond with sanctions against Moscow.
"We hear these statements, but we cannot and don't plan to take these into account," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
"This is about a Russian citizen not complying with Russian law. This is an absolutely domestic matter and we will not allow anyone to interfere in it."
Peskov said Navalny had genuine questions to answer about violating his parole conditions for a suspended prison sentence.
Navalny has been placed in pre-trial detention for 30 days. In 2014, he received a three-and-a-half year suspended sentence for embezzlement, in a case that he says was fabricated for political reasons.
Peskov also dismissed as nonsense the notion that President Vladimir Putin fears Navalny.
"Different statements about someone being afraid of someone else are absolutely nonsense," he said.
Peskov said Navalny's calls for Russians to take to the streets over his detention were alarming, but that the Kremlin did not fear mass protests. (Reporting by Dmitry Antonov; Additional reporting by Anastasia Lyrchikova; Writing by Gabrielle Tétrault-Farber; Editing by)

Bochum-Hiltrop Lidl will die Filiale im Dorf-Hiltrop in Bochum im Spätsommer eröffnen. Nicht alle Anwohner freuen sich auf das zusätzliche Angebot.
Die langjährige Hängepartie um den Lidl-Markt in Bochum-Hiltrop hat ein Ende. Der Discounter will noch im März 2021 mit dem Neubau des Marktes an der Wiescherstraße/Im Brennholt beginnen. Lothar Rungenhagen, Immobilienleiter der Lidl-Regionalgesellschaft Herne, erklärt auf Anfrage der WAZ über die Pressestelle des Unternehmens: "Auch in Bochum wollen wir unseren Kunden moderne Einkaufsstätten mit attraktiven Einkaufsbedingungen bieten. Daher werden wir an der Wiescherstraße eine neue Filiale mit einem modernen Erscheinungsbild und einer Verkaufsfläche von rund 1.100 Quadratmetern im Spätsommer 2021 eröffnen."
Der Bochumer Bebauungsplan ist rechtskräftig
Die Stadt Bochum bestätigt, dass dem Vorhaben auch von ihrer Seite nichts mehr im Weg steht. "Die Baugenehmigung für den Neubau wurde im März 2020 erteilt. Der Bebauungsplan Nr. 971 ist rechtskräftig", erklärt Sprecher Thomas Sprenger. Allerdings sei der Verwaltung ein Baubeginn bislang noch nicht mitgeteilt worden. Auch lägen aktuell keine Informationen über den geplanten Baubeginn vor.

Lange bremste die Grundstücksfrage den Filialneubau aus. Lidl will auf dem Gelände des Pferdehofbetreibers Trösken bauen. Doch der machte das von einem Grundstückstausch mit der Stadt abhängig. Die Vertragsverhandlungen zogen sich über mehrere Jahre hin. Nun steht fest: Trösken zieht mit seinem Pferdebetrieb nach Havkenscheid. Schon im März 2015 gaben die politischen Gremien grünes Licht für den Lidl-Neubau.
Agrarflächen im Landschaftsschutzgebiet
Trösken wollte seine Fläche an der Wiescherstraße seit langem an den Discounter Lidl verkaufen, der dort seinen neuen Lebensmittelmarkt bauen will. Auch die Stadt brauchte einen Teil seines Grundstücks für den Hochwasserschutz in Hiltrop; dieser Grundstücksabschnitt liegt im Landschaftsschutzgebiet. Die Agrarflächen innerhalb des Landschaftsschutzgebietes sollen für Kompensationsmaßnahmen für die Eingriffe in Natur und Landschaft genutzt werden.
Der Grundstückstausch machte im letzten Jahr dann den Weg frei für die aufwendige Kanalerneuerung, von der Einmündung Im Hagenacker/Dietrich-Benking-Straße bis Im Brennholt. Der ist dringend erforderlich als Entwässerungsmaßnahme, kam es im Dorf Hiltrop doch regelmäßig zu Überschwemmungen bei Starkregen. Ende 2019 war die juristische Hürde beim Bau des neuen Kanals im Dorf Hiltrop genommen: Nach Jahren der Stagnation kam damit Bewegung in die Verhandlungen über den Grundstückstausch zwischen der Stadt Bochum und dem Pferdehofbetreiber Trösken.
Regionale Angebote und Exoten
An der neuen Filiale will Lidl rund 120 Parkplätze ausweisen. Die oberirdischen Parkplätze werden über die Wiescherstraße erschlossen, die Tiefgaragenzufahrt liegt an der Straße „Im Dorf Hiltrop“. Unternehmenssprecherin Isabel Lehmann erklärt: "In der Filiale erwartet unsere Kunden das bewährte Lidl-Sortiment mit rund 4.000 Einzelartikeln. Dazu zählen beispielsweise Frischfisch und -fleisch, Obst und Gemüse mit regionalem Angebot und Exoten, in der Filiale gebackene Brot- und Backwaren sowie Bio- und Fairtrade-Produkte."
Darüber hinaus komme in der Filiale eine energiesparende LED-Beleuchtung zum Einsatz, mit der bis zu 42.000 Kilowattstunden Strom und rund 17 Tonnen Kohlenstoffdioxidausstoß pro Jahr im Vergleich zu herkömmlicher Beleuchtung eingespart werden sollen.
Anwohner befürchten mehr Verkehr im Dorf
Doch längst nicht alle Hiltroper freuen sich auf das zusätzliche Nahversorgungsangebot. Bei der Bürgerversammlung im Herbst 2017 jedenfalls wandte sich die Stimmung einiger Teilnehmer gegen das Bauvorhaben. In erster Linie befürchten die Anwohner zusätzliche Verkehrsbelastungen.
Bezirksbürgermeister Henry Donner (SPD) will in einer der nächsten Sitzungen des Bezirks Nord das Vorhaben noch einmal zum Thema machen. "Es geht noch um einige Details wie etwa den Bau eines Fußgängerweges an der Wiescherstraße, der Teil des Bebauungsplans ist."

Cops videoed their bust-up of a student lockdown party in Birmingham with 50 people fined and dozens found trying to avoid capture by hiding in a closet.
People travelled from as far as Newcastle, Nottingham and London to attend the event at Canalside accommodation, Birmingham on Friday.
Officers said, 'Covid is real', as they opened up a closet to find people, adding 'you will receive a fine'.
As the party-goers emerged from the closet, one by one, a shocked officer said: 'Wow, any more?'
Around 50 Fixed Penalty Notices were issued by police for breach of coronavirus regulations.
One officer was assaulted as a student bolted, although he was unhurt.
Police say they are trawling through CCTV to identify him, adding: 'We take the safety of our officers very seriously.'
The camera footage shows police making their way through the premises and as they found more people hiding in the kitchen.
They also found others at the 'very, very top floor' and were knocking on doors to try and hide inside a flat.
Inspector Steve Barnes, who was in charge of the operation, said: 'We understand that young people are frustrated at not being able to enjoy themselves and I do feel their pain, but we have to stick to the rules so that we can get back to some sort of normality sooner rather than later.
'People are dying and we have to prevent the spread of this virus.
'We hear the criticism that some are saying about our actions to police restrictions and, we more than anyone, want to concentrate on catching criminals, so my message is clear – stick to the rules and let us do our job of protecting communities and solving crime.'
West Midlands Police said it is working with the university to identify the organiser and to help improve security to stop any further parties.
But the student party was just one of 32 incidents attended by police.
Others included a 30th birthday party in Kingstanding and a gathering at a shop in Soho Road.
A total of 58 £200 fines were issued along with five £1,000 fines, which are usually given to the organisers or gatherings.
But police said on general patrol, the restrictions were being adhered to.

Tulsa will look for its seventh straight win and a potential move into the Top 25 when it travels to surging Wichita State on Wednesday night for a key American Athletic Conference game in Kansas.
The Golden Hurricane (7-3, 4-1) will head back into play after their Jan. 9 home game against UCF was postponed because of positive COVID-19 cases and the ensuing contact tracing of student-athletes at UCF. Tulsa's most recent outing was a 61-51 road win over South Florida on Jan. 6.
Wichita State (7-3, 3-1) opens the week as one of four one-loss teams in the conference, behind Houston (5-1) and Tulsa (4-1) and ahead of Memphis (2-1). The Shockers will bring the momentum from an 82-76 home win over Cincinnati on Sunday into the game against Tulsa.
Brandon Rachal paced the Golden Hurricane's balanced attack against South Florida with 15 points -- 13 in the second half. Austin Richie and Elijah Joiner added 13 points each for Tulsa, and Darien Jackson scored 10.
The win kept the Golden Hurricane 3-0 in road games this season, a streak will be put to the test Wednesday night in Wichita.
"Our guys really competed hard; it is a great win for us because it is not an easy win here on the road," Tulsa coach Frank Haith said. "We got balanced scoring and had great production all the way around. We really did a good job of getting consecutive stops with our defense to begin the game and in the second half. Our defense was outstanding. "
Tulsa's winning streak has included four consecutive conference wins, including 65-64 at home over then-No. 5 Houston on Dec. 29.
The Shockers got a career-high 23 points from freshman Ricky Council IV in their win over Cincinnati that snapped a six-game losing streak against their AAC rival.
Wichita State handed Tulsa its only conference loss in a 69-65 decision on Dec. 15 and has won six of its past seven outings. The Shockers' loss during that stretch was at now-No. 11 Houston, 70-63, last Wednesday.
"We're just trying to win every game," Council said. "In Houston we came up short, but we definitely felt like we could have won that game, and we've got to move forward and take it game by game. Next is Tulsa, we already played them, so we know what to do."

Bochum. Opel steigt aus der gemeinsamen Entwicklungsgesellschaft mit der Stadt Bochum aus. Ende 2022 ist Schluss für den Autobauer.
Der Autobauer Opel beendet Ende 2022 seine Zusammenarbeit mit der Stadt Bochum in der Entwicklungsgesellschaft Bochum Perspektive 2022.
Die Opel Automobile GmbH und die Bochum Wirtschaftsentwicklung als Mehrheitsgesellschafterin haben eine Ausscheidungs-Vereinbarung unterzeichnet. Beide Parteien hatten 2014 die Gesellschaft gegründet, um nach der Schließung des Autowerks in Laer die 70 Hektar große Werksfläche neu zu entwickeln und Firmen anzusiedeln. 65 Prozent der Fläche ist mittlerweile vermarktet.
Geschäftsführer wechselt nach Münster
„Wir haben in der Bochum Perspektive alle unsere 2014 gemachten Zusagen eingehalten. Jetzt schließen wir unser erfolgreiches Engagement ab“, sagt Opel-Personalchef Ralph Wangemann. Der Autobauer bleibe aber mit seinem Warenverteilzentrum ein wichtiger Arbeitgeber in Bochum.
Der von Opel gestellte Bochum-Perspektive-Geschäftsführer Enno Fuchs scheidet aus dem Unternehmen aus. Er übernimmt die Leitung der Wirtschaftsförderung in Münster.

« Je voulais changer la grille de réductions des impôts, mais il y a eu ce virus alimenté par la presse que nous avons ici, cette presse sans intérêt », a déclaré M. Bolsonaro.
« Le Brésil est en faillite. Je ne peux rien faire », a déclaré mardi 6 janvier le président, Jair Bolsonaro, attribuant la crise à « ce virus alimenté par la presse », à un moment où les aides qui ont sauvé des millions de personnes de la misère ont pris fin.
« Le Brésil est en faillite. Je ne peux rien faire. Je voulais changer la grille de réductions des impôts, mais il y a eu ce virus alimenté par la presse que nous avons ici, cette presse sans intérêt », a dit M. Bolsonaro en réponse à un de ses partisans qui l’a salué devant sa résidence officielle, à Brasilia.
Le président brésilien faisait référence à la réforme pour la hausse du niveau des revenus exonérés d’impôts, une promesse de campagne du leadeur d’extrême droite, arrivé au pouvoir avec un programme économique libéral.
Le pays « au bord d’un gouffre social »
Pour M. Bolsonaro, l’effondrement économique du pays est lié aux restrictions préconisées par les gouverneurs pour lutter contre la pandémie due au coronavirus, qui a déjà tué près de 198 000 personnes au Brésil. Et il a gagné en popularité grâce à l’aide d’urgence accordée pendant neuf mois à 68 millions de Brésiliens, soit près d’un tiers de la population.
Mais ce mois-ci, ces aides ont cessé, sous la pression des marchés, inquiets du niveau élevé du déficit et de la dette du pays, qui pourrait le placer « au bord d’un gouffre social », selon Marcelo Neri, directeur du centre de politique sociale de la Fondation Getulio Vargas (FGV).
Pendant ce temps, le nombre de cas et de décès continue d’augmenter. Au cours des dernières vingt-quatre heures, le géant sud-américain a recensé 1 171 décès et près de 60 000 nouvelles contaminations, des chiffres qui devraient augmenter dans les prochaines semaines en raison des rassemblements massifs qui ont eu lieu pendant les fêtes de Noël et du Nouvel An, selon les spécialistes.

We will use the Armed Forces Bill to create an organisation to provide independent oversight of service policing

We will use the Armed Forces Bill to create an organisation to provide independent oversight of service policing
2021 marks a major milestone as we celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Armed Forces Covenant. That historic agreement gave formal expression, for the first time, to society’s moral obligation to ensure our brave men and women suffer no disadvantage as a result of their service.
Since then more than 6,000 organisations from the north east to the south west, from the public and private sector alike, have signed the Armed Forces Covenant and made a commitment to our service people and veterans. Last year alone some 1,500 organisations came on board including the London Fire Brigade, Leicester Tigers Rugby Club and Yorkshire Water.
There’s little doubt that our Covenant supporters have made a massive impact. Thanks to them veterans have found work, reservists have got the time off needed to deploy, and military spouses have received help to further their careers; 79,000 service children now benefit from £24.5million of pupil support; 22,200 service personnel have been helped on to the housing ladder by Forces Help to Buy and 800 GP practices in England are accredited as ‘veteran friendly’.
Despite the pandemic, last year, we provided cash boosts for family accommodation, introduced free breakfasts and after school clubs for military children, enhanced employment opportunities for veterans with our guaranteed interview scheme and provided millions of pounds to service charities.
There’s no question that our Armed Forces Covenant is a great thing. But, as Veterans Minister, I know that the experience you get is too often dependent on where you live. So it’s vital the Covenant is enacted in the right way. It cannot be a postcode lottery. If you’ve served your country we must do right by you, wherever you are. At present, the Covenant is a voluntary, non-legislative commitment but the Government’s 2019 manifesto set our ambition to enshrine the Covenant properly in law so it can be a genuinely effective tool benefitting everybody right across the United Kingdom.
To make good on that commitment, the Armed Forces Bill aims to ensure due regard is given to the Armed Forces Covenant by public authorities in the areas most likely to affect serving and former personnel and their families – healthcare, housing and education.
The Bill does not stop with the Covenant, we will also be building on our progress to implement the recommendations from the recent review into the Service Justice System (the military law enforcement system that runs parallel to the Criminal Justice System).
We are committed to achieving justice for our people wherever in the world they serve and want to create a more effective, efficient and better service for those who use it.
The main way we are doing this in the Bill is by creating an organisation to provide independent oversight. The Service Police Complaints Commissioner will mirror the arrangements used in the civilian system’s Independent Office for Police Conduct to ensure any complaints about service policing are handled independently.
In the past 12 months we’ve been reminded of the immense debt of gratitude we owe to our brave men and women. They’ve stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our heroic NHS doctors and nurses on the frontline of the fight against the virus. All the while, they’ve continued tirelessly guarding our seas, our skies and our borders and protecting our interests across the globe. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. A decade ago our country promised to have their backs. Our Armed Forces Bill, come what may, we will deliver on that promise.

AMSTERDAM, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Thousands of metal and electrotechnical workers in the Netherlands are planning to go on strike from Thursday in demand of better pay, labor unions said on Tuesday.
Workers at the factories of chip sector supplier ASML , truck builder DAF and steel maker ThyssenKrupp will kick off the strikes on Thursday, followed by colleagues at Siemens and Scania among others, the unions said.
Unions demand a higher pay rise than the 2.25% over two years that employers have offered so far and also want more options for workers to decide on their schedules.
A labour agreement for the metal and electronics sector would cover around 160,000 people in the Netherlands. (Reporting by Bart Meijer, editing by Louise Heavens)

BOGOTA, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Colombia's Bogota will impose strict two-week quarantines on six more neighborhoods starting next week, Mayor Claudia Lopez said on Tuesday, as the city moves to control a second wave of coronavirus.
The districts of Bosa, Ciudad Bolivar, Puente Aranda, Rafael Uribe, San Cristobal, and Usme will enter quarantine from Jan. 18 until Jan. 28, Lopez said in a press conference.
A city-wide quarantine ended at 4 a.m. on Tuesday, with nightly curfews planned to run until the end of this week. However, all of Bogota will go into a strict lockdown over the coming weekend.
"The city will be in total quarantine again from this Friday, Jan. 15 at 8:00 p.m. and until next Monday, Jan. 18 at 4:00 a.m. Only essential businesses may open and only those who are included in exceptions may move around," Lopez said.
Six other neighborhoods have already been placed in strict quarantines. Usaquen, Suba, and Engativa are locked down until next Monday, while restrictions on movement in Kennedy, Fontibon, and Teusaquillo began Tuesday and will continue until Jan. 22.
During periods of strict quarantine people are largely confined to their homes. Non-essential shops and businesses will be closed and one person per household will be allowed to buy food or medicine.
Colombia has declared more than 1.8 million coronavirus infections and 46,782 deaths from COVID-19, the disease it causes, according to numbers from the country's Ministry of Health.
In Bogota, which has reported over 525,000 coronavirus cases, occupancy of intensive care units assigned for COVID-19 patients stands at 93.5%, according to local government figures. (Reporting by Oliver Griffin; Editing by David Gregorio)

Mayor flees City Hall in Washington state after protesters storm it

A Mayor was rushed out of a City Hall in Washington state after protesters ripped down an American flag before storming the building during a rally against plans to clean-up a homeless encampment.
Mayor Seth Fleetwood of Bellingham was escorted out of the building to safety Friday morning when a group of around 20 people entered the main lobby, according to KIRO7.
Bellingham Police arrived and asked the protesters to leave.
Bellingham Police Lt. Claudia Murphy told The Bellingham Herald the demonstrators left when they were told to, no one was injured and nothing was damaged inside the building.
Protesters had gathered outside City Hall to protest against the city's plans to move a temporary homeless encampment, known as Camp 210, off the lawns of the hall and the Bellingham Public Library.
Officials planned to clean up the site Friday morning and move the homeless campers 25 feet away.
The encampment was first erected in the area in November to draw attention to the lack of shelter for homeless people in the city, located around 88 miles north of Seattle.
Fleetwood told KIRO7 he was taken out of City Hall through a back door and driven from the building.
He told the outlet the sudden evacuation was 'unsettling' and compared it to the January 6 riot on the US Capitol in DC that left five people dead.
'They banged on the door and we got word they had somehow broken it open and were entering, and I was advised to leave,' he said.
Fleetwood said the protesters had broken a lock to get inside the locked building.
Footage shared online by a KIRO7 journalist shows a group of demonstrators outside the building tearing down an American flag and stamping on it before a man made off with it.
Protesters also confronted members of the media to try to stop them from filming the scene, Fleetwood said.
No arrests were made during Friday's incident.
It is not clear if the 20 who stormed the building were part of the rally opposing the removal of the encampment.
City officials announced Tuesday that Camp 210 residents had to move 25 feet away from the buildings and move all their belongings from the area by 9 a.m. Friday.
They cited a number of issues, including several fires in the area and county employees reporting being harassed.
None of the wooden structures or roughly 100 large tents were moved by Friday morning, the Herald reported.
Activist groups urged people to gather in the area Friday morning to stop the city tearing down the encampment.
People formed a human shield and blocked the road in front of the courthouse while others held up signs reading 'Services now', 'Do not sweep' and 'Provide an actual solution for the homeless', the Herald reported.
By around 5p.m., most protesters had cleared the area, according to a KIRO7 video.
In a statement, Fleetwood called the morning's events a 'disservice' to homeless people.
'Their actions are a disservice to people who are experiencing homelessness and putting them at increased risk,' he said.
He said the city wants 'a peaceful end to the encampment'.
'If there is confrontation, we are not the aggressors. Most campers have not complied with our request to create a 25-foot fire and safety area,' he said.
Eve Smason-Marcus, a Whatcom Human Rights Task Force board member and volunteer with Camp 210, told the Herald between 90 and 120 people sleep there each night.
She said advocates for the homeless population had been in discussions with the city for over a month and had called on officials to provide 100 units to house people.
She said negotiations fell apart when the city offered only 25.
'They will not leave city hall unless there is housing for everyone,' she told the Herald.
Fleetwood said the city 'offered reasonable conditions for working together and were eager to do so.'
He has directed people at Camp 210 to a homeless shelter on Cornwall Avenue operated by Lighthouse Mission Ministries, known as Base Camp.

Bottrop Ein Test am Frankfurter Flughafen liefert zunächst ein falsches Ergebnis. Der infizierte Bottroper steckt dann seine Familie an.
In einer Bottroper Familie wurde erstmals die neuartige Corona-Virusvariante aus Südafrika nachgewiesen. Ein Mann aus der Familie war vor Weihnachten aus beruflichen Gründen in Südafrika unterwegs und hatte sich in dem Land infiziert. Er und seine gesamte Familie wurden unter häusliche Quarantäne gestellt. Der Mann ist inzwischen genesen. Auch den Familienmitgliedern geht es gut.
Der Betroffene war am 15. Dezember aus Südafrika zurückgekehrt und hatte sich der routinemäßigen Untersuchung am Frankfurter Flughafen unterzogen. Allerdings fiel das dortige Testergebnis zunächst negativ aus. Als er kurz darauf die typischen Krankheitssymptome zeigte, ergab ein zweiter Test ein positives Ergebnis. Der Infizierte befand sich seit seiner Rückkehr in häuslicher Quarantäne, steckte aber seine Familienmitglieder an. Alle Kontaktpersonen wurden informiert und die gesamte Familie unter Quarantäne gestellt.
Gesundheitsamt sichert sich die PCR-Abstriche
Im Bottroper Gesundheitsamt stellte sich aufgrund des Hergangs die Frage, ob es sich bei der Erkrankung möglicherweise um die neue Südafrika-Variante handeln könnte, die auf diesem Weg nach Deutschland gebracht worden war. Das Gesundheitsamt sicherte deshalb die PCR-Abstriche der Familie und überstellte sie einem Labor des Robert-Koch-Instituts. Die Laboruntersuchungen haben jetzt den Verdacht bestätigt.
Der Betroffene, der beruflich regelmäßig im Ausland unterwegs ist, wurde am 8. Januar erneut getestet. Das Ergebnis war negativ. Ein weiterer Test in Belgien am 9. Januar ergab ebenfalls einen negativen Befund. Die gesamte Familie wird nun am Dienstag, 12. Januar, im Bottroper Gesundheitsamt getestet. Bei einem negativem Ergebnis können die Quarantäne-Auflagen aufgehoben werden, teilt die Verwaltung mit.
Nach Kenntnissen des Robert-Koch-Instituts gibt es derzeit keine Hinweise auf schwerere Krankheitsverläufe bei Infektionen mit dieser neuen Variante. Auch die Wirksamkeit der zurzeit in Deutschland verabreichten Impfstoffe wird nicht bezweifelt. Allerdings halten es die Experten des RKI für möglich, dass die Südafrika-Variante ansteckender ist als das bisher zirkulierende Corona-Virus.
Inzidenz für Bottrop steigt auf 225
Der Bottroper Krisenstab am Montag noch keine Entscheidung über die örtliche Einführung einer möglichen 15-Kilometer-Regel oder einer Ausgangssperre getroffen. Das Gremium erwartet im Lauf des Montagnachmittags weitere Erklärungen seitens der Landesregierung. Am kommenden Mittwoch wird der Stab erneut zu Beratungen zusammentreffen, um seine lokalen Entscheidungen anschließend von der Landesregierung bestätigen zuu lassen. Das teilt ein Sprecher des Krisenstabs mit.
Die Zahl der Infektionen, gemessen in den letzten sieben Tagen, war über das Wochenende auf 225 gestiegen. Damit war der Inzidenzwert von 200 überschritten, bei dem Städte grundsätzlich weitergehende Maßnahmen festlegen können. Für den Krisenstab kommt die gestiegene Inzidenz jedoch wenig überraschend, hatte man doch schon im Vorfeld damit gerechnet, dass sich in diesen Tagen ein möglicher Effekt der zurückliegenden Feiertage zeigen könne.
Wie Krisenstabsleiter Paul Ketzer bereits mehrfach betont hatte, sei für ihn die Zahl 200 jedoch nicht alles. Bottrop hatte sie schon einmal deutlich überschritten und lag auch bereits deutlich darunter, weshalb das Gremium Maßnahmen treffen wolle, die wohlüberlegt seien.

LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Shared images of meagre food packages supplied to children by schools during England's COVID-19 lockdown prompted an outcry on Tuesday and led the government to warn private suppliers to raise their standards.
With England in lockdown to try to control a surge in coronavirus cases, the government has asked schools to provide free lunches for eligible children stuck at home.
However, images shared online of some of the food parcels were criticized by politicians, celebrities and the public, who questioned whether they contained enough food and nutrition for the number of meals they were supposed to cover.
The outcry began when one Twitter user posted a parcel she said was expected to last 10 days of lunches containing: a loaf of bread, two potatoes, two carrots, three apples, a tomato, some dried pasta, bananas, cheese, beans and other small snacks.
"The photos being shared on social media today are completely unacceptable and do not reflect the high standard of free school meals we expect to be sent to children," Children and Families Minister Vicky Ford said.
Children are eligible for the programme if they are in their first three years of schooling - roughly aged 4 to 7 - or if their parents receive certain state benefits. More than 1.4 million children qualify.
Reuters spoke to the Twitter user who posted the original photo. She declined to be named, but confirmed the photograph showed everything in the package she had collected from the school for one child.
"What they're going to end up with on a typical day is one round of cheese sandwich with one quite thin slice of cheese in it and no butter on the bread - that is going to be quite hard to eat," she said.
The pack was supplied by Chartwells, part of the FTSE-listed Compass Group PLC. Supply contracts are not negotiated by central government.
The firm said the package in question was only intended to last five days. It apologised for the quantity it offered and said it would refund schools in cases where it had not met its standards.
"In our efforts to provide thousands of food parcels a week at extremely short notice we are very sorry the quantity has fallen short in this instance," a spokeswoman for Chartwells said in an emailed statement.
Other users posted images they said showed similar food packages received from schools, which can come from a range of suppliers. Reuters could not verify all the images.
"Something is going wrong and we need to fix it, quickly!" said Premier League soccer player Marcus Rashford, who led a publicity campaign last year to pressure the government into extending the provision of meals to include school holiday times, which it later did.

Cricket-Pant smashes India to series win for the ages

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Rishabh Pant unleashed a batting maelstrom to blast India to an incredible three-wicket win in the fourth test decider on Tuesday as Ajinkya Rahane's injury-ravaged tourists humbled Australia with a 2-1 series triumph.
The pugnacious Pant timed his innings to perfection, ramping up the aggression in a stellar 89 as India stormed to a record 328-run chase at the Gabba and became the first team to beat the hosts at the Brisbane stronghold since the West Indies in 1988.
With regular captain Virat Kohli savouring fatherhood back home, India mowed down 145 runs after tea on day five to claim a win for the ages when Pant smashed Josh Hazlewood to the long-off fence with 18 balls to spare.
"This is one of the biggest moments of my life now," the wicketkeeper-batsman Pant said after being named Man of the Match.
"It's been a dream series."
With 21 wickets, Australia paceman Pat Cummins was Man of the Series yet Pant may have had a bigger claim.
His brilliant fourth innings 97 in Sydney proved decisive as India saved the third test and set up one last push in Brisbane.
There were nonetheless heroes galore in the Indian dressing room, though not a single first-choice bowler at the Gabba.
There was two-test paceman Shardul Thakur and debutant all-rounder Washington Sundar who grabbed 11 wickets between them, then combined for a courageous 123-run stand in India's first innings to drag them back from the brink.
On Tuesday, there was three-test opener Shubman Gill contributing 91 after his senior partner Rohit Sharma fell for seven.
Cheteshwar Pujara stitched it all together, soaking up 211 balls in his obdurate 56 and wearing about a dozen body blows from Australia's frustrated pacemen.
India retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, two years after beating Australia in the 2018-19 series Down Under, and also shot to the top of the World Test Championship.
This victory, however, was a far greater achievement as the previous series Australia lacked their best batsmen in Steve Smith and David Warner due to a ball-tampering scandal.
FAR CRY FROM ADELAIDE
The jubilant scenes at the Gabba were also a far cry from the Adelaide opener when India were bowled out for 36, their lowest ever test innings, in a three-day thrashing.
Yet they rallied superbly to win in Melbourne and belief flooded after seeing off Australia in Sydney.
Australia battled hard to claim late wickets in Brisbane.
With India's tail shaky, hearts were in mouths after Josh Hazlewood removed Thakur for two, with three runs left to score.
Yet Pant had the presence of mind to sneak a single as Thakur's shot flew to Nathan Lyon at square leg, winning back the strike for his final coup de grace.
Questions will be asked about Tim Paine's captaincy after the home side proved powerless to bowl India out on successive day five pitches.
"Absolutely disappointed," said Paine, who was jeered by sections of the crowd at the post-match presentation.
"It's been a bit of a trend that we were found wanting in the key moments and completely outplayed by a tough Indian side that fully deserves the win."
Rahane will be the toast of India, however, and now holds an unbeaten record of four wins in five tests.
"It really means a lot to us. I don't know how to describe this victory. I'm just proud of all the boys," said Rahane.
"Credit to Pujara, the way he handled the pressure was magnificent, and Rishabh was brilliant in the end." (Editing by Peter Rutherford and Christian Radnedge)

Newport Wafer Fab will almost double capacity amid automotive chip supply squeeze
Britains biggest microchip factory plans to cash in on a global semiconductor shortage by raising more than £50m in an effort to nearly double production.
Newport Wafer Fab, in South Wales, said it would use the investment to raise production levels to 14,000 wafers a week, up from 8,000 today. It follows record orders for the company’s power supply chips, which are in demand from the car industry amid an intense supply shortage that has seen several car companies suspend production.
The company, which has around 450 employees, is the biggest of a cluster of chip makers around Cardiff. It was rescued from Infineon, the German manufacturing giant that had planned to close the plant, in a management buyout four years ago.
Drew Nelson, Newport’s chairman, said demand had “absolutely skyrocketed” in the last three months, fuelled by both the global shortage and the rise of electric cars.
The company’s compound semiconductors, made of multiple chemical elements, are seen as superior to traditional silicon transistors, and are especially suited to high-efficiency power switching in battery-powered vehicles.
Newport said it was talking to a number of venture capital and private equity firms about an investment, and that it would take two to three years to increase capacity to 14,000 wafers a week. Wafers are mass-produced boards that can each fit hundreds or thousands of individual chips.
Automotive chips are in short supply after component makers cut orders in the early months of the pandemic. Although car sales have fallen, the downturn has not been as dramatic as feared, leading to a production bottleneck as many chipmakers focus on profitable gaming and smartphone chips. Ford, Honda and Volkswagen have all shut plants or cut production as they wait for supplies to resume.
The UK was historically a hub for semiconductor manufacturing, but while British microchip companies such as Arm, Imagination Technologies and Graphcore have been at the cutting edge of chip design, most production now takes place in the US and Asia.
Mr Nelson, who is also the outgoing chief executive of Welsh chipmaker IQE, called on the Government to support manufacturing, saying the industry could support thousands of new jobs with the right backing. “There's a ready made series of projects in the UK, which just need investment. The Government hasn't really grasped the importance of investment in sovereign capabilities in its own semiconductor industry,” he said.

MP says Britons will not tolerate another 'absurd' lockdown

A Conservative MP has said Britons will not tolerate another 'absurd' coronavirus lockdown.
MP for New Forest West Sir Desmond Swayne said that the Government's focus should be on lowering hospital admissions so lockdown can be lifted.
He described the current lockdown as 'madness' and suggested people are 'going to have to rise up and bring it down'.
It comes as Britain's daily coronavirus case total plunged by 18 per cent in a week today.
Sir Desmond told Talk Radio's Julia Hartley-Brewer: 'As hospital admissions decline, with the progress of vaccination, the notion that ordinary people are going to be prepared to tolerate going on living like troglodytes, in this ridiculous way, is absurd.
'We were told - it's always been the case - that we were protecting the NHS and reducing hospital admissions.
'As they reduce, the burden of lockdown becomes intolerable. We are going to have to live with this as an endemic disease.
'There will have to be new strains put into the vaccine every year, and vulnerable groups will have to go and get their vaccine in the autumn - in the same way as you expect them to go and get their vaccine for flu at the moment.
'That's going to be the new normal.
'But it has to remain focused on a fixed goal post. The goal post has to be the NHS coping with a predictable and acceptable number of hospital admissions.
'At some point people are going to have to rise up and bring it down, as they say in the Unites States.
'I'm deeply sceptical of this belief out there that everyone is in favour of the lockdown and are quite happy for it to go on. This is madness.'
A further 33,552 people tested positive for coronavirus today - a nearly 10,000 drop on the 41,346 recorded last Saturday.
It brings the total number of cases in the UK since the start of the pandemic to 3,617,459.
Official figures also revealed 1,348 more people have died within 24 hours of testing positive for the virus - a rise of 4.1 per cent on last Saturday's 1,295.
But, in a positive sign Britain's third wave of Covid fatalities could be slowing, last Saturday brought a 25 per cent week-on-week rise in daily cases, significantly higher than the increase seen today.
Boris Johnson yesterday revealed that the Kent coronavirus strain - responsible for the soaring Covid cases recorded in the last month - could be 30 per cent more deadly than older versions of the virus.
However the PM has been accused of 'scaremongering' after failing to present any evidence to back up the terrifying development.
And the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) - the body of scientists which has advised the Government throughout the pandemic - are only 50 per cent sure the new variant could be more fatal.
Professor Robert Dingwall, who sits on the New and Emerging Respiratory Virus Threats Advisory Group (Nervtag) - the subcommittee of Sage which discussed the deadliness of the new strain on Thursday - said the claim that the variant is 30 per cent more lethal is on a 'very fragile' base of evidence and accused the Government of 'exploiting public fear' over the virus.
Chief Scientific advisor Sir Patrick Vallance said during the press conference that evidence the strain is indeed more deadly is still 'weak'.
Public Health England medical director Dr Yvonne Doyle today revealed it is not 'absolutely clear' if a mutation of the virus first found in Kent is more dangerous.
Graham Medley, professor of infectious disease modelling at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said it is an 'open question' but not a 'game changer' in terms of dealing with the pandemic.
And Dr Mike Tildesley, a member of Sage subgroup the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling, said it was still too early to be drawing 'strong conclusions' about the suggested increased mortality rate.

LOS ANGELES, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Fox News Channel, which ended 2020 as the most-watched network in all of basic cable, finished third among cable news channels last week as power shifted in the U.S. Senate and rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, Nielsen data showed on Tuesday.
AT&T Inc's CNN topped cable networks with roughly 2.8 million viewers per day from Jan. 4 through Sunday, and 4.2 million in primetime, according to the ratings data.
For that same period, Comcast Corp's MSNBC attracted 2.3 million per day and 3.8 million in primetime. Fox News, owned by Rupert Murdoch's Fox Corp, drew about 1.7 million per day and 3.2 million in primetime.
Newsmax, a smaller rival that has been promoted by President Trump, said it saw record ratings in primetime of 443,000 for the week. Its total day ratings averaged 294,000. Newsmax does not provide full-time news coverage on weekends.
During the week, the networks covered elections in Georgia that gave Democrats control of the U.S. Senate and the storming of the Capitol by the president's supporters.
Fox News finished 2020 with record ratings that made it the most-watched network on basic cable for the fifth straight year .
After the Nov. 3 election, Trump ramped up his criticism of Fox News and urged supporters to watch alternatives such as Newsmax and One America News Network, which is not rated by Nielsen.
CNN has topped Fox in some metrics since the election, but Fox's opinion hosts have continued to dominate primetime. "Tucker Carlson Tonight" has drawn 4 million viewers on average while "Hannity" has pulled in 3.7 million.
On Monday, Fox announced it would add another hour of opinion programming at 7 p.m., among other changes.
CNN also announced shifts to its schedule, including expanding Jake Tapper's daily show to two hours and adding a Sunday program hosted by Abby Phillip. (Reporting by Lisa Richwine; Additional reporting by Helen Coster in New York; Editing by David Gregorio)

Britain has done enough unnecessary damage without adopting the Fort Knox approach at this stage

Britain has done enough unnecessary damage without adopting the Fort Knox approach at this stage
We modern humans have now spent the best part of a year operating under the conditions of a large-scale global experiment with a noble aim: to stamp out a virus that has become endemic. Thank goodness this particular plague isn’t very dangerous to the vast majority of the people it meets because the results are in, and they’re not good.
No amount of shutting borders, banning flights, bankrupting businesses, cancelling surgeries, denying children a decent education or wrecking havoc on people's mental health has delivered us to the promised land of a Covid-free existence.
In the UK, ten months on from our first three-week experimental lockdown, the one enacted to ‘protect’ our health system, we are a nation still under house arrest, a good deal poorer and more miserable, and the NHS is still, we are repeatedly warned, at ‘breaking point’. Has it really all been worth it?
With travel into and out of the UK already severely restricted, there’s now talk of even tougher measures; mandated hotel quarantines and electronic tags for overseas arrivals to mitigate the risk of new Covid-19 variants, one of which is already rampant within our own shores. This time, it’s to ‘protect’ our vaccination programme. Will that militant move be worth it too, given more variants are inevitable for an indeterminate length of a time, and may sidestep the current vaccines anyway?
At least this late-to-the-party slamming of our gates would be a new strategy for Britain, which until now has seemed content with bashing its head against the same brick wall regardless of outcome. But we already know what happens when a country seals itself off entirely. Peru closed its borders in March last year when there were only 28 confirmed cases and plunged its citizens into the world's most draconian lockdown, at devastating cost to the economy, and still ended up with the worst Covid fatality rate.
The only countries in the world to have cut themselves off from international travel indefinitely have been Australia and New Zealand; an example the British Government appears increasingly keen to follow, despite the very different nature of their economies. Granted, these countries have all-but beaten the virus (dangerous, let’s not forget, to only a small fraction of its population) from behind its tall walls, but I won’t declare their tactic to be a success until they have finally rejoined the rest of the world; something Australia has said it may not do until 2022, even after all its people are vaccinated.
Elsewhere in Europe, there have been all sorts of experiments in regards to the severity of restrictions, and no clear winners. Spain enacted the toughest lockdown in Europe last spring – even outdoor exercise was prohibited – and suffered the worst rebound in infections as soon as restrictions were lifted. The Czech Republic, which once so proudly credited its impressively low case numbers with the strict early adoption of masks, has for months been the worst-hit country on the Continent.
In the US, despite voracious condemnation from the left of Trump’s minimum-intervention approach to the virus, the states which have persevered with the toughest restrictions have little to boast about. In an unlikely twist of fate, Florida, which has taken a broadly anti-lockdown stance despite its high percentage of senior citizens, has seen about half the deaths per capita than New York, with all its stringent rules and evangelical mask-wearers.
We do have one tool at our disposal that has reliably triumphed over diseases in the past century, and that is the use of vaccinations. Last year, while politicians gathered to throw mud at the wall (and watch none of it stick), scientists managed, with amazing speed, to develop an arsenal of jabs that look promising in putting an end to this pandemic.
At last, light at the end of the tunnel. And finally, with Britain streets ahead in terms of our rollout, we have a strategy to be proud of.
By spring, the Government’s plan is to have inoculated almost 99 per cent of those most at risk of dying from Covid; all over 50s, healthcare workers and people with pre-existing medical conditions. Of the remaining population, more people died in road accidents last year than of coronavirus.
But while I’d like to look forward to summer 2021 with optimism, given the vulnerable will be safe and the rest of us should, by logic, be free to move around freely again, I remain sceptical. If, in the meantime, ‘Global Britain’ is really going to follow Australia down the path of turning itself into Fort Knox, then it needs to also get on board with its plan to keep its borders shut even after we’ve all been vaccinated.
Which brings me right back to my original question: what on earth is the point, and when will our leaders be able to say, with a straight face, that all their mud-slinging has been worth it?

DUBLIN, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Irish residential property prices rose year-on-year for the first time in six months in November after disruption from the initial COVID-19 lockdown of the economy halted seven years of unbroken annual growth.
Prices rose by 0.2% year-on-year in November, having dropped by as much as 0.9% in August. That was driven by the third successive month of year-on-year growth outside Dublin with prices excluding the capital up 1.2%.
Average house prices in Dublin have been broadly falling for over a year after rising sharply due to years of housing supply failing to catch up with demand, an ongoing problem throughout much of the country. (Reporting by Padraic Halpin)

Offenbach Den frisch überarbeiteten Kona fährt Hyundai künftig auch als eigenständigen Sportler vor. Als N-Modell wird das kompakte SUV 280 PS stark - und soll im Sommer starten.
Hyundai betont das "Sport" in SUV und bereitet den kompakten Kona auch als N-Modell vor. Nachgeschärft vom Werkstuner, soll er ab diesem Sommer antreten, teilt der Hersteller mit.
Neben einer betont knackigen Abstimmung für Fahrwerk, Lenkung und Bremsen und einem auf maximale Dynamik ausgelegten Fahrprofil gibt es vor allem einen potenten 2,0-Liter-Motor. Der Vierzylinder-Turbo leistet 206 kW/280 PS und geht mit bis zu 382 Nm zu Werke, so der Hersteller weiter.
Geschaltet wird mit einer achtstufigen Doppelkupplung. Angetrieben werden anders als bei der Konkurrenz nur die Vorderräder. Exakte Fahrleistungen nennt Hyundai noch nicht, doch wird sich der Kona N nur unwesentlich vom technisch weitgehend baugleichen i30N unterscheiden: Der erreicht bis zu 280 km/h und kommt aus dem Stand in rund sechs Sekunden auf Tempo 100.
Auch das finale Design will Hyundai erst zur Premiere im Frühjahr verraten. Allerdings sind am Prototypen schon jetzt der große Spoiler auf dem Heck, die etwas weiter geöffneten Lufteinlässe im Bug und die sportlicher geschnittenen Sitze im Innenraum zu erkennen.

Eastwind Hotel is a boutique property in the Catskills of New York that sprawls across 17 private acres.
In addition to standard hotel rooms, Eastwind offers standalone A-frame Lushna units and new, bigger Lushna Suite cabins.
I stayed in a Lushna Suite, comped for review purposes, that typically starts at $429 per night. However standard rooms start at $279.

Keep reading to see why I was so impressed by the Lushna Suites at Eastwind Hotel.
I felt my phone vibrate around 1:15 p.m. as I was winding my way from New Jersey into the Catskill Mountains, about two hours before Eastwind's 3 p.m. check-in time. I had been concerned I hadn't heard from the property with an email about the contactless check-in they offered, but just in the nick of time, there was a welcome message with a key code for my door and directions for how to find my unit and where to park. Also included, a note to "kindly wear your mask around others and in all local stores," a few suggestions for where to get take-out food in the area (more on this later), and several recommendations for nearby hiking trails.
A second text received moments later described in detail what to expect in my preordered breakfast basket for the next morning (coffee, yogurt, fresh fruit, and pastries) and asked what time I'd like it have it delivered. As a coffee addict and breakfast food aficionado, this was the cheeriest welcome I could hope for, and I perked up on the rest of the drive even as the skies turned an ominous gray.
A light snow was falling as my husband and I climbed the mountain into Windham, which sits at around 1,700 feet above sea level and is traversed with scenic hiking and skiing trails, waterfalls, and barns and fields. Luckily, we spotted the navy-blue main building of the hotel and pulled off the twisting path of Route 23 before the storm picked up. The coating of white on the ground, though, made it hard to find the path to follow up to the Lushna Suites.
We stopped at the lower parking lot to get our bearings since there is no signage on property, and Jason, a hotel employee, immediately popped out wearing a mask, and asked if we needed help. When I said I was looking for the Lushna Suites, he guessed correctly that I was staying in Unit 3 and directed us to our suite at the top of the next driveway, adding, "I just dropped off a s'more kit for you," which was another welcome mood brightener.
My wheels slipped a bit as we climbed to the uppermost corner of the property on a long, non-paved driveway. Lushna Suite number three is the last unit on the property, and definitely the premier location as it offers the most privacy. While it was welcomingly secluded for a couple's retreat, if I had been staying on my own it may have felt more isolating than cozy. Since we were the last unit, Jason said we could leave our car in front of unit, which was helpful in avoiding a long icy walk.
Thanks to the contactless check-in, I easily entered the four-digit code on the keypad attached to the door and headed directly into my home for the night, with no further staff interactions needed.
Straight ahead on what looked like a wall of shelves was the cutely packaged s'mores kit we had been promised, complete with saber sharp bamboo sticks. We popped our bags on the other shelves and admired the main living space. This was the highlight of the Lushna Suite thanks to the soaring wall of windows offering panoramic views of the forest stretching to the top of snow-kissed Windham Mountain. Large glass doors opened to an expansive deck with Adirondack chairs, ideal for watching the natural world outside. Swagged canvas drapes gave the feeling of looking out from inside a tent adding to the glamping atmosphere.
The living room had a long futon couch along one wall, a vintage-style coffee table, and an etagere augmented with antique travel guides and a duck decoy. The space was also cleverly decorated with old books and sporting gear hung on the wide walls. I loved the lofted ceiling and knotty pine – everything smelled and felt as fresh and new as if we were the first people to stay.
After turning a corner I found a large closet, a surprise feature in a small space, stocked with extra sheets, pillows, and towels. The next door revealed a contemporary bathroom with an inviting pizza-size rain shower head, green art deco tile floors, and photo-ready striped Pendleton terry hoodie ponchos.
Back out to the living room I retraced my steps to the front door and turned left, where there was another closed door. I assumed it must be the door to the loft, but instead, I discovered a "secret" writer's nook tucked along the wall with a long built-in desk and vintage typewriter. There were also complimentary large bottles of Smart Water, swanky bottles filled with hand sanitizer, a modern wireless phone charger, lightning cord station, and rechargeable lantern. A mini-fridge was tucked away, too, for stashing snacks. I searched every cubby and cabinet for a coffee station or kettle but sadly came up short, which I found surprising.
Still searching for the door to the loft, I finally moved our bags and the s'mores kit. As it turned out, those weren't shelves, they were shelf-like stairs. Up we went to discover just a queen mattress tucked into treehouse-like loft with a large window looking out over our car.
I can't lie, both my husband and I were trepidatious at first about spending the night in such a small space. But after just a few hours in the Lushna Suite, we started to think of it as a tiny house. We mostly hung out downstairs in the living room, and only climbed the stairs to sleep in what turned out to be a very cozy nook, outfitted with silky Frette sheets.
As an adult, I don't get invited to many (okay, any) treehouse slumber parties, and for a night I was able to enjoy the whimsical feeling of it. There were outlets so we could charge our phones and check the time, and I carried the lantern up for light, which honestly felt very romantic (although on closer examination in daylight there were also LED lights that just hadn't been functioning).
We both slept well in the complete silence, but woke up early because even though there's a curtain blocking the window that frames the bed, there's no covering on the windowed door that faces the stairs to the loft, so it got bright early. I also suggest keeping the bedroom curtain at least half down at all times since passersby in the parking lot below can look right in, which was slightly off-putting.
A great deal of staying in the Lushna Suite is enjoying the privacy that comes with it. In addition to the porch right off the suite, that includes a hammock strung on an adjacent tree, a personal firepit that staff will light on request any time, and an outdoor shower (not quite the right season now, but surely delightful in hotter weather).
We only stayed the one night, but note that for the Lushnas, both suites and standard units, there is currently a three-night minimum stay (for regular hotel rooms there is a two-night minimum). During a typical stay during COVID, there is no housekeeping, but staff will bring additional towels, sheets, or other needs on request.
If you can't book a Lushna Suite, which is a distinct possibility since there are only three units, there are several other options for overnighting at Eastwind. The main hotel building has 10 rooms, although only half are available at any time due to COVID-19 booking restrictions. These are a much more affordable option, starting at $279 per night. However, you don't have the convenience or safety of a standalone accommodation and may encounter other guests in the hallways and common areas, which is a downside amidst the pandemic. There is also a suite with its own entrance and a private fireplace connected to the main building that starts at $429.
Additionally, up the hill from the main building is the Hill House where there are five rooms each with an outdoor entrance that start from $329. And then there are the basic Lushnas, which are basically a standalone, tent-shaped pine room with a large window looking out over the landscape.
If you like elbow room, regular Lushnas aren't a good option, since they mostly comprise a mattress with a view, and the bathroom, while private, is a few feet away in a separate structure. There are three units by the Hill House that abut the parking lot, and then four more units in the upper section of the property, across the gravel path from the Lushna Suites. I found the units in the upper section to be more private, but the units near the Hill House offer views of Windham Mountain (but also look out over the main lodge and the parking lot).
Price-wise, the basic Lushna units start at $359 for a midweek stay, and the Lushna Suite is $429 for a similar stay and includes an ensuite bathroom and more than twice the square footage. I highly recommend splurging on the Lushna Suites, especially if your dates are flexible, thanks to the added privacy, idyllic views, additional space, and the added safety of a standalone room. However, the Hill House rooms make for a nice compromise if you want a private entrance and the space of a typical hotel room. Just be aware the views aren't quite as nice from these rooms since they're right along the parking lot.
Compare room types and prices for the Eastwind Hotel
During non-pandemic times, Eastwind has an on-site restaurant and fireplace lounge in the main hotel building. However, both are closed for normal service due to the pandemic. The restaurant is currently offering three-course dinners with drinks for $100 per person (plus tax and tip) on Friday and Saturday evenings for hotel guests only and with a reservation, with two seatings of three tables per evening. The dinner can also be delivered for in-room dining. During the rest of the week no food is available on the property.
More accessible is a drinks-on-demand service. Simply text the front desk and select from a list of curated cocktails and a masked employee will bring your beverage wherever you are on the property. For my husband and I, this translated into a winter special of warm mulled wine that we were able to order by the thermos ($25), a cold-weather highlight that we sipped while we played with the wood-tile Scrabble we discovered in the room.
Another great pivot for the property is the addition of delivery breakfast baskets, my favorite perk of my pandemic stay, filled with warm pastries, a thermos of hot coffee, fruit, yogurt and granola, OJ, and warm hard boiled eggs ($30). This was delivered right on time to the door and was a lovely way to start the day.
There are two stand-alone outdoor saunas for guests, one barrel-shaped option by the lower end of the property and one on the road to the suites designed like a ski gondola. These are open year-round, and are free to use (and there's no resort fee at the property) with times reserved by text; saunas are sanitized before each use.
For outdoor lovers, Eastwind is an ideal location to explore the protected Catskill Forest. The easy Windham Path is .25 miles from the property, longer and more challenging trails, including Giant Ledge and Westkill Mountain, are a short drive to the trailheads. In the winter, you'll be able to spot the snow-covered trails of Windham Mountain right from the Lushna Suite windows, and Hunter Mountain Resort is just a few minutes down the road.
Dining is a real issue, unfortunately, if you stay during the week. Of the five recommendations for take-out options in my welcome text, four were closed on Wednesdays, when I stayed, and one was a convenience store. It pays, however, to communicate directly with the staff. When the lovely Maria brought our mulled wine and I described my dilemma, she offered up a "locals favorite" dining spot: The Brandywine. Just seven minutes down the road, we were able to score a full pasta dinner, including entrée, salad, bread, for $11.99. However, it seemed to truly be the only option anywhere remotely nearby that was open during the week.
About five minutes down the road is the quaint town of Windham where you'll find shopping boutiques and more dining options during the weekends. Check the Eastwind Field Guide, available in the room, for options. I made a quick stop at indie Briar & Brambles Books, a short walk from Eastwind. Also in the area is Ze Windham Winebar that gets high marks from visitors for its "secret garden" patio, gourmet bites, and large selection of wine and beers.
Nearby are some of the Catskills great art communities, including Saugerties (about 40 mins east) where the spectacular OPUS 40 sculpture park is located. Pro tip: Although the property is closed for the winter, you can still book a private, small-group entrance for parties of five or less. I tried it out and it was glorious to wander the Brobdingnagian bluestone sculptural paths without a crowd. About 45 minutes south is the artsy town of Woodstock for gallery hopping and shopping; from there it's a quick 15-minute hop to another local's favorite dining spot, the all-day comfort food offerings of Phoenicia Diner.

Eastwind Hotel has 4.5 out of 5 stars on Trip Advisor and an 8.9 out of 10 on Booking.com. There are definitely two schools of thought on staying here. Positive reviews on Booking.com all laud Bjorn, the owner, for being "very helpful and responsive," and while I can't attest to that since he wasn't on property during my stay, the accolades for the natural setting as a "space for couples who need a quiet getaway with little distractions" is completely spot on. On Trip Advisor, a Hill Room review noted that, "The view was awesome..the room was big and very clean."
On the flip side, some reviewers on Booking.com felt that while the staff was eager to help, "they were certainly spread thin and … communication … could certainly be improved to fully take advantage of all amenities." I also agree with this assessment. Since there's no front desk, it's hard to get a lay of the land, especially since the welcome text includes outdated info and there's no info on hotel procedures in the room. A review on Trip Advisor noted that in the main building, "The room was very cute but extremely small and they have closed the common area ... there wasn't really anywhere for us to hang out," which we heard from others as well.

Who stays here: Hip New York City residents looking for an escape from urban life; outdoor enthusiasts; dog lovers (pets are welcome with a fee).
We like: Managers on duty make house calls to do everything from delivering extra blankets to laying fires and bringing s'mores kits.
We love (don't miss this feature!): The cocktails and hot breakfast baskets delivered straight to our room was a huge hit, and enjoying them with the mountain views only added to the experience.
We think you should know: Windham is a food desert midweek and there is no room service and no coffee making facilities in Lushna Suites. Rooms don't have TVs, but we found the Wi-Fi sufficient to surf the web. Also, Lushna Suites are not a good option for anyone with mobility issues or fear of heights.
We'd do this differently next time: Although Eastwind is a four-season resort, and the ski area is nearby, I would prefer to experience a Lushna Suite in warmer weather when I could explore the surrounding hiking trails, relax in the hammock, and enjoy the firepit without fear of frostbite.
Eastwind has a robust COVID safety playbook in effect. New protocols include:
I found the property very COVID compliant, with all staff masked whenever I encountered them, including when they brought supplies to the room. Hand sanitizer was available throughout the property and in our room, as well. The contactless check-in also worked well to minimize interactions with staff.
The Lushna Suites at Eastwind delivered what I was looking for: An unplugged overnight close to home that felt like a true getaway. I appreciated the tranquil natural setting, peaceful property, and relaxed atmosphere. Plus, the attention to keeping the property COVID-19 compliant eliminated any pandemic stress.
At $429 even for a midweek stay, Lushna Suites are pricey. And currently, they require a three-night minimum to book. However, if you're able to splurge, I found the standalone Lushna Suites to be well worth the cost for the upgraded privacy, space, and amenities. That said, the property also offers standard rooms starting at $279, and the Hill House rooms offer a nice compromise since they are more traditional rooms, but with private entrances, starting from $329.
One major downside right now is that during the week, much of the surrounding area is closed. With the on-site restaurant only open on weekends and serving a special menu for $100 per person, and nearly all restaurants within an hour's drive closed during the week, dining during your stay can be a legitimate issue.
However, for a quick getaway from the New York metro area, especially for anyone who wants to try elevated glamping and spend time outdoors, this is a prime option.

Dinslaken Wegen Corona hat der Rat seine Entscheidungskompetenz auf den Hauptausschuss delegiert. Dort darf die AWG aber nicht mitstimmen.
|
Dinslaken Wegen Corona hat der Rat seine Entscheidungskompetenz auf den Hauptausschuss delegiert. Dort darf die AWG aber nicht mitstimmen.
Wegen der Pandemie wurde die letzte Ratssitzung in Dinslaken abgesagt und die Entscheidungskompetenz auf den Hauptausschuss delegiert. Dieser tagt am Dienstag, 17 Uhr, im Rathaus. Allerdings gibt es mit der AWG eine Fraktion, die zwar im Stadtrat aber eben nicht in Ausschüssen Stimmrecht hat. Das gilt auch, wenn der Hauptausschuss stellvertretend für den Rat abstimmt. Die AWG ist damit alles andere als einverstanden.
Bürgermeisterin seien die Hände gebunden
AWG-Fraktionsvorsitzender Remzi Ugur hat versucht, eine Ausnahme für den Hauptausschuss, in dem es unter anderem um die Stellungnahme zum Kooperationsstandort Barmingholten geht, zu erwirken - und ist gescheitert. Ihr seien die Hände gebunden, habe Bürgermeisterin Michaela Eislöffel mitgeteilt. Auch beim Kreis Wesel sei er nicht weitergekommen, ärgert sich Ugur - obwohl dort in einer ähnlichen Situation, als der Kreistag seine Entscheidungsbefugnisse auf den Kreisausschuss übertragen hat, mithilfe der anderen Fraktionen eine Lösung gefunden worden sei. Diese hätten in Dinslaken aber eben die Ausschussgrößen so bemessen, . Dafür hätten alle Ausschüsse vergrößert werden müssen.
AWG beantragt Präventionskonzept
Um den politischen Gremien auch in der Pandemie dauerhaft die Arbeit zu ermöglichen, fordert die AWG die Stadt in einem Antrag auf, ein entsprechendes Präventionskonzept dazu zu erarbeiten. Dies sieht etwa die Installation von mobilen Wärmebildkameras zur Fiebermessung und Corona-Schnelltests vor dem Einlass zu Ausschüssen vor. Wo Abstände nicht eingehalten werden können, sollen Trennwände installiert werden. Außerdem sollen Sitzungen online übertragen werden, so die AWG, auf diese Weise sei es möglich, die Personenzahl in den Sitzungen zu reduzieren.

TAIPEI, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Taiwan's Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday it "understood and respected" a decision by the U.S. State Department to cancel a visit to the island by the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs regrets that the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft cannot lead a delegation to visit Taiwan from Jan. 13 to 15 as scheduled, but welcomes Ambassador Craft to visit at an appropriate time in the future," it said in a statement.

Voerde. Die Christdemokraten wollen ein Positionspapier als Diskussionsgrundlage erarbeiten. Noch kein Termin für Entscheidung über Vorsitz.
Zehn Wochen liegt der zurück - seit dem 1. Januar nun wird der Stadtverband von den drei Stellvertretern Bert Mölleken (Chef des CDU-Ortsverbandes Voerde), Nicolas Kotzke (Vorsitzender des Ortsverbandes Friedrichsfeld) und Jan Langenfurth (Chef des Ortsverbandes Spellen) kommissarisch geführt. Wann über die Nachfolge von Steenmanns, der für die Christdemokraten als Bürgermeisterkandidat gegen Amtsinhaber Dirk Haarmann (SPD) angetreten und deutlich unterlegen war, entschieden werden kann, ist offen.
Termin für Jahreshauptversammlung 2021 aufgrund von Corona noch offen
Angesichts der aktuellen Pandemielage hält es Bert Mölleken, der zurzeit auch als Sprecher des CDU-Stadtverbandes fungiert, für unrealistisch, dass die Jahreshauptversammlung 2021 regulär im ersten Quartal wird stattfinden können. „Ich sehe das sehr streng“, erklärt er mit Blick auf die hohe Zahl der Corona-Neuinfektionen und Todesfälle im Zusammenhang mit dem Virus. Aufgrund dessen findet Mölleken es zurzeit nicht verantwortbar, die Versammlung durchzuführen. Diese digital zu veranstalten, dafür sieht er nicht die Dringlichkeit. Der Druck sei in dem Fall ein anderer als auf Bundesebene, konstatiert er in Anspielung auf den 16. Januar, an dem die Christdemokraten einen neuen Parteichef wählen. Konkrete Kandidaten für den Vorsitz des Voerder CDU-Stadtverbandes gibt es Mölleken zufolge noch nicht.
In einer Präsenzveranstaltung soll auch die Niederlage der CDU bei der Rats- und Bürgermeisterwahl aufgearbeitet werden, wie Mölleken erklärt. Neben der Fraktion und den Parteivorständen würden daran auch Junge Union, Senioren-Union, Frauen-Union und die Mittelstandsvereinigung beteiligt. Gemeinsam werde ein erstes Positionspapier erarbeitet, das dann den Mitgliedern als Diskussionsgrundlage vorgelegt wird. Das Treffen, bei dem mindestens 25 bis 30 Personen zusammenkämen, sollte nach den konstituierenden Sitzungen von Stadtrat und Kreistag stattfinden. Angedacht war ein Termin im November oder Dezember. Doch „Corona hat einen Strich durch die Rechnung gemacht“, sagt Mölleken.
Zurückgetretener CDU-Chef nahm bei Situationsbeschreibung der CDU Voerde kein Blatt vor den Mund
Er selbst war Ende Oktober nicht bei der Versammlung, bei der Steenmanns seinen Rücktritt verkündete und . Die Rede, über die Mölleken dann in der Zeitung las, sei für ihn überraschend gekommen. Steenmanns hatte in seiner Situationsbeschreibung der CDU Voerde kein Blatt vor den Mund genommen und ihr einen Erneuerungsprozess gewünscht, der sie wieder attraktiver für junge Menschen und Frauen mache. Die von ihm genannten Kritikpunkte sollen in der nun anstehenden Aufarbeitung der Wahlergebnisse mit angebracht werden. „Wir wollen einen sehr offenen Prozess haben“, sagt Mölleken.

Doping-Olympic champion Rahimov charged in weightlifting doping case

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Kazakhstan weightlifter Nijat Rahimov, a gold medallist at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, has been charged with a doping offence for swapping urine samples, the International Testing Agency (ITA) has said.
The ITA also charged Dumitru Captari of Romania -- who competed alongside Rahimov in the under-77 kg event in Rio de Janeiro - with offences that took place "over a period of time in 2016".
Both athletes have been provisionally suspended but it is unclear if the allegations span the 2016 Rio Games where Rahimov claimed gold with a world record lift.
"During the investigation of the incident the athlete is temporarily suspended from all sports events and training camps," Kazakhstan's weightlifting federation (WFRK) said in a statement.
"Adhering to the policy of "zero tolerance" for doping the federation will provide all necessary support to the ITA in conducting an objective investigation. Also WFRK will provide legal assistance to our athlete if needed."
Romania's weightlifting federation (FRH) did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The ITA also announced that it is intending to prosecute Rattikan (Siripuch) Gulnoi of Thailand, a bronze medallist at London 2012, for "use of prohibited substance throughout her career".
Gulnoi was recorded by an undercover team by Germany broadcaster ARD for their documentary that exposed widespread doping and corruption in weightlifting last year.
Olympics news website insidethegames reported that Gulnoi revealed in the interview that girls as young as 13 were encouraged to use banned substances in Thailand and joked that she was "the only Thai weightlifter who never tested positive".
The ITA carries out all anti-doping procedures for the IWF and the deal was recently extended until 2024.
In a statement https://ita.sport/2021/01/18/the-ita-pursues-prosecution-of-anti-doping-rule-violations-in-weightlifting, the ITA said it was investigating 146 files after revelations in the McLaren report into weightlifting corruption.

Motivated Oilers ready to roll vs. Canucks

The Edmonton Oilers have waited a long five months to make amends for their qualifying round disappointment to end the 2019-20 season.
Despite boasting the fifth-best winning percentage in the Western Conference -- and led by the dynamic duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl -- the Oilers were ousted by the Chicago Blackhawks before the actual Stanley Cup playoff tournament kicked off.
As the Oilers prepare to play host to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday to kick off the truncated NHL season, it's with extra motivation and the belief they are due to take a big step forward.
"There's no time to tip-toe your way into the season," forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins said. "It's going to get rolling right away. ... It's going to be intense right off the get-go. There's no time to waste with a shortened schedule like this."
The Oilers and Canucks open with a pair of games in the Alberta capital, the site of last year's restart after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and they have completely different memories.
Edmonton was knocked out by a veteran Chicago team that barely squeaked into the qualifying round while the young, up-and-coming Canucks eliminated the Minnesota Wild in the qualifying round. They followed up by dropping the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues in the opening round and took the powerful Las Vegas Golden Knights to a seventh and deciding game in the second round before being eliminated.
Even so, the prognostications abound in Edmonton's favor this season. The Oilers may be starting the season without veteran James Neal, who netted 19 goals in 55 games last season, but retooled their lineup in a positive way. Sure, there are questions about their defensive ability and goaltending, but the Oilers appear to have much more forward depth with the addition of veteran Kyle Turris to center a third line that appears will start with newcomer Dominik Kahun and 2016 first-round draft pick and fourth overall selection Jesse Puljujarvi back in the fold.
Defenisively, Edmonton will dearly miss Oscar Klefbom this season due to shoulder surgery, but adding Tyson Barrie will certainly provide more pop to its already potent attack, especially on the power play.
The Canucks, who boast a fantastic collection of young talent with the likes of forwards Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser and Bo Horvat as well as defenseman Quinn Hughes, had a curious offseason. They lost starting workhorse goalie Jacob Markstrom, key defenseman Chris Tanev and forwards Tyler Toffoli and Josh Leivo via free agency.
They added veteran goalie Braden Holtby to work along with talented youngster Thatcher Demko, and may have a more complete defense corps by adding veterans Nate Schmidt and Travis Hamonic as well as 2016 fifth-overall pick Olli Juolevi.
The Canucks appear ripe for a step back due to a lack of forward depth but enter the season believing they can build on their strong run thanks to the positive experience the last time they played in Edmonton.
"I like the makeup of our team a lot," Horvat said. "We lost some key guys after last year, but the (players) we brought in have fit into our locker room. We've added some key pieces and guys have stepped up. We have a really bright future."
That said, it will be an intense season, with clubs playing 56 games, all against divisional opponents.
"When you're from Canada and playing Canadian cities or coaching Canadian cities, there's an excitement level," Oilers coach Dave Tippett said. "The competition is going to be unreal. Missing the fans is the only drawback to it, but I think the excitement that will run through the country with people cheering on their teams will excite everybody. It's going to be a blast."

AMERICA's ambassador to Britain has hinted at a "major" trade deal between the UK and the US following Brexit, despite doubts by commentators.
|
AMERICA's ambassador to Britain has hinted at a "major" trade deal between the UK and the US following Brexit, despite doubts by commentators.
Ambassador Woody Johnson referenced a famous Winston Churchill quote in a Twitter post on Tuesday. Tweeting an image of Big Ben, alongside the Statue of Liberty and against the backdrop of blue skies, he wrote: “As Churchill said: ‘Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.’
“With a Brexit deal in the bag, the UK can start winning new prizes, like a major US-UK trade deal!”
It follows a post by Ambassador Johnson on the day the Brexit process was completed which said: “The EU-UK deal is done. Our FTA’s [Free Trade Agreement] not far behind.”
Mr Johnson is a prominent US businessman who was appointed by Donald Trump.
It means his optimism for a trade deal being secured may be short lived as he could be replaced when Joe Biden assumes office in a fortnight.
Brexit means Britain is no longer obliged to implement EU laws, pay into the Brussels budget or accept the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.
President-elect Biden has said trade deals will not be prioritised, telling the New York Times: “I’m not going to enter any new trade agreement with anybody until we have made major investments here at home and in our workers and in education.
“I want to make sure we’re going to fight like hell by investing in America first.”
He also told the UK not to undermine the Good Friday Agreement if they want to secure a deal.
Mr Biden said: “We can’t allow the Good Friday Agreement that brought peace to Northern Ireland to become a casualty of Brexit.

“Any trade deal between the US and UK must be contingent upon respect for the Agreement and preventing the return of a hard border. Period.”
Officials connected to Mr Biden have indicated his administration may seek to strengthen its ties elsewhere.
Charles Kupchan, a former official at the National Security Council for European Affairs, described the impact he believes Brexit will have.
Speaking to Politico, Mr Kupchan said: “When you wanted to get something done with Europe, you made the first or perhaps the second call to London.
“You’re still going to call London, but that call will be lower down in the queue. Britain doesn’t have a seat at the table anymore.”

Alan Winters, director of the Trade Policy Observatory at the University of Sussex, has said the “chances of a trade deal with the US in the near future are really low”.
A group called the 'Rejoin Campaign' has been launched in a desperate bid to merge Britain back with the EU.
Recent polling has shown the likelihood of other European nations leaving the EU.
It shows Italy has the lowest support for the EU of its main economies.
The Euronews poll found that 45 percent of respondents were in favour of Italy leaving, followed by France with 38 percent.
The UK voted to leave the EU in 2016 and left on January 31, 2020.
The Brexit deal covers around £660billion worth of trade to allow goods to be sold without tariffs or quotas in the EU market.

Düsseldorf. Schüler der Jahrgänge 1 bis 6 können in Düsseldorf an die Schulen zur Notbetreuung. Die Resonanz ist eher verhalten.
Seit diesen Montag können Düsseldorfer Eltern ihre Kinder an die Schulen zur Notbetreuung schicken. Geöffnet ist das Angebot für die Jahrgänge 1 bis 6. Wie die Stadt Düsseldorf am Montagnachmittag auf Nachfrage der NRZ mitteilt, wird das Betreuungsangebot nur sehr verhalten genutzt, gerade in den weiterführenden Schulen.
Hier seien nur 1,5 bis 4 Prozent der Schüler in der Notbetreuung gewesen, während in den Grundschulen rund 12 Prozent der Schülerinnen und Schüler zur Betreuung kamen. Regionale Unterschiede innerhalb Düsseldorfs seien aber nicht beobachtet worden. Höher lag der prozentuale Anteil bei den Förderschulen und hier insbesondere bei dem Förderschwerpunkt Geistige Entwicklung, so die Stadtverwaltung.
Rückmeldung von 75 Prozent der Schulen
Zum Zeitpunkt der Antwort auf die NRZ-Anfrage lagen von rund 75 Prozent der Düsseldorfer Schulen Rückmeldungen bei der Stadt vor. Insgesamt 2400 Schülerinnen und Schüler seien von diesen Schulen in der Notbetreuung gemeldet worden.

ASX-listed nickel explorer, Auroch Minerals has hit the ground running in the new year with the improving nickel price spurring the company to get cracking on a maiden RC drill program at its new, high-grade Nepean nickel project located 25 kilometres south of Coolgardie in WA.
The Perth-based company recently picked up 80 per cent of the historic nickel project in a $4 million cash-and-scrip transaction, with Auroch responsible for $3.5 million of the total consideration.
Nepean takes in the historic high-grade Nepean underground nickel sulphide mine, which produced 32,202 tonnes of nickel between 1970 and 1987 from 1.1 million tonnes of ore that averaged a recovered grade of 2.99 per cent nickel. Nickel mineralisation was discovered at Nepean more than half a century ago by Metals Exploration, who trucked the rich ore to Western Mining Corp’s nearby Kambalda concentrator for processing.
Auroch’s planned RC drill program, which is set to kick off next week, comprises approximately 30 holes for an aggregate of about 3,500 metres. It is designed to test possible near-mine extensions to known high-grade massive nickel sulphide mineralisation at Nepean.
Previously untested high-priority targets along 10km of what the company says is underexplored strike of the Nepean nickel-bearing mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy and or aeromagnetic anomalies will also get a piece of the drilling action in the same campaign.
The company says it has already identified several near-mine drill targets to potentially extend the known mineralisation, particularly along strike to the south where historic RC drilling successfully intersected high-grade nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Some of the stand-out relatively shallow intersections from the drilling in 2008 included 3m going an eye-watering 11.78 per cent nickel from 37m, 3m at 9.93 per cent nickel from 49m, 4m at 6.63 per cent nickel from 46m, and 6m at 2.82 per cent nickel from 53m.
Nepean also comes with a remnant JORC (2004)-compliant inferred resource of 591,300 tonnes of ore at a not-to-be-sneezed-at average grade in the current nickel price environment, of 2.2 per cent nickel for 13,250 tonnes of contained nickel.
Auroch also intends undertaking down-hole electromagnetic surveying to assist in modelling and delineation of any potential further mineralisation.

Jan 12 (Reuters) - The United States and the Czech Republic have pulled out of the Jan. 13-31 world handball championship in Egypt after a COVID-19 outbreak among players of both teams, the International Handball Federation (IHF) confirmed.
"USA Team Handball have officially communicated to withdraw their participation in the world championship following several positive results after the obligatory COVID-19 tests," the sport's governing body said on its official website.
"The USA are thus the second team to announce their withdrawal due to several positive COVID-19 cases after the Czech Republic was forced to cancel their participation earlier on Tuesday."
Switzerland will replace the United States while North Macedonia have taken the Czech Republic's slot in the 32-team event, with hosts Egypt facing Chile in the opening match on Wednesday.
The organisers had originally planned to let up to 5,000 fans attend each game but the IHF and the Egyptian government scrapped the decision due to COVID-19 concerns and the tournament will now be held behind closed doors.

Jan 19 (Reuters) - AC Milan have signed veteran Croatian striker Mario Mandzukic on a free transfer until the end of the season, with an option to extend the contract for a further year, the Serie A club confirmed on Tuesday.
Mandzukic has been without a club since last summer when his contract at Qatar's Al-Duhail was terminated by mutual consent. He scored one goal in seven appearances in the Middle East.
The 34-year-old had spent the previous four years at Juventus, scoring 31 league goals in 118 Serie A appearances, and returns to Italy to line-up in an experienced Milan attack alongside 39-year-old Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
"I am very happy," Ibrahimovic told Sky Sport Italia when asked about Mandzukic's imminent arrival following Milan's win at Cagliari on Monday.
"There will be two of us to scare the opponents now."
Mandzukic will be handed the number nine shirt at his new club. (Reporting by Peter Hall Editing by Christian Radnedge)

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Grocery retailer Aldi said on Tuesday it would give U.S. employees up to four hours of pay if they get a COVID-19 vaccination, nearly a week after retailer Dollar General provided a similar incentive.
The German supermarket chain, which has more than 2,000 stores in 37 U.S. states, said it would cover costs associated with vaccine administration and implement on-site vaccination clinics at its warehouse and office locations.
Dollar General Corp said last week it would offer frontline employees four hours worth of pay after they get the vaccine.
Walmart Inc has agreements with U.S. states to administer the vaccine to its employees should they choose to receive it once they are eligible. (Reporting by Uday Sampath in Bengaluru; Editing by Ramakrishnan M.)

Düsseldorf 2012 hatte der 50-Jährige in Düsseldorf eine Prostituierte umgebracht. Jetzt ist er wegen gefährlicher Körperverletzung angeklagt.
Acht Jahre nach der Tötung einer Prostituierten in einem Düsseldorfer Hotel soll ein 50-Jähriger aus Dormagen erneut ein Callgirl angegriffen haben. Der Fall werde am 12. Februar vor dem Düsseldorfer Landgericht verhandelt, sagte eine Sprecherin der Düsseldorfer Staatsanwaltschaft am Montag. Die Staatsanwaltschaft strebe Sicherungsverwahrung für den Mann an.
Im Juli 2020 soll er in einem Hotel in Neuss erneut zugeschlagen haben. Das 26-jährige Opfer habe sich heftig gewehrt und sich schwer verletzt retten können. Der Mann soll ihr ein Kissen ins Gesicht gedrückt, sie gewürgt und ihr den Kopf ruckartig verdreht haben, um ihr das Genick zu brechen.
Anklage wegen gefährlicher Körperverletzung
Weil die Ermittler nicht ausschließen können, dass er von der Frau doch noch aus eigenen Stücken abließ, ist er diesmal nur wegen gefährlicher Körperverletzung angeklagt. „Wir gehen zwar von einem Tötungsvorsatz aus, können aber einen Rücktritt vom Versuch nicht ausschließen“, sagte die Staatsanwältin.
In dem 2012 abgeurteilten Fall hatte der Deutsche eine 25-jährige Prostituierte mit 18 Messerstichen umgebracht. Die blutüberströmte Leiche der jungen Frau war am Whirlpool der Hotelsuite entdeckt worden, die er angemietet hatte.
Nach der Tat hatte er sich in die Türkei abgesetzt, sich von dort bei Zeitungen gemeldet und seine Unschuld beteuert. Nach elf Tagen war er zurück nach Deutschland geflogen und hatte sich gestellt. Wegen Totschlags war er vom Düsseldorfer Landgericht im September 2012 zu zehn Jahren Haft verurteilt worden. 2018 kam er frei. Der neue Prozess soll vom selben Richter geführt werden wie damals.

Have you been living at the beach for the first week of 2021? Well, don’t pack away your sunscreen just yet — it’s about to get even hotter.
Perth has been sweltering through temperatures above 30C since ringing in the new year but a severe heatwave will see the mercury rocket above 40C this weekend.
The city could reach a top of 38C today, with tomorrow set to be a hot and sunny 38C.
Friday is expected to be the hottest day of the year so far, with a top of 41C forecast.
Hot and windy conditions experienced over the past week are set to continue with severe to extreme fire danger ratings being maintained across WA over the next few days.
PERTH FORECAST:
Thursday: 38C, very hot and sunny
Friday: 40C, very hot and partly cloudy
Saturday: 33C, very hot and partly cloudy
Sunday 28C, partly cloudy
A BOM spokesperson confirmed the afternoon sea breeze that’s been noticeably absent along WA’s coast for almost a week is expected to return late on Friday, bringing the forecast down to 33C on Saturday.
“(The easing temperatures will be) a pretty big relief from the heat we’re experienced,” the spokesperson said.
Sunday’s forecast is set to dip below 30C for the first time in 2021, reaching just 28C on Sunday.

Stuttgart Zum 25-jährigen Jubiläum legt Porsche ein limitiertes Sondermodell vom Boxster auf. Das erinnert in einigen Details an die Designstudie von 1993 - und setzt beim Motor auf sechs Zylinder.
Der Boxster wird 25 Jahre alt. Porsche feiert das runde Jubiläum mit einem Sondermodell im Retro-Look.
Wenn der "Boxster 25 Jahre" in diesen Tagen ab 94 986 Euro in den Handel kommt, erinnert nicht nur die Farbgebung an die Designstudie aus dem Frühjahr 1993, die dem Serienstart 1996 vorausging. Details wie den farblich abgesetzten Scheibenrahmen, den Tankdeckel aus Aluminium oder die polierten Endrohre haben die Designer ebenfalls von damals übernommen.
Während der 718 Boxster und der geschlossene Ableger Cayman heute zumeist als Vierzylinder verkauft werden, steckt beim Jubiläumsmodell ein Sechszylinder hinter den Sitzen. Übernommen vom 718 GTS 4.0, schöpft er laut Porsche aus 4,0 Litern Hubraum 294 kW/400 PS. Das reicht für einen Sprint von 0 auf 100 km/h in 4,0 Sekunden und ein Spitzentempo von 293 km/h.
Den Verbrauch des wahlweise mit Schaltgetriebe oder Doppelkupplung ausgestatteten Boxsters gibt Porsche mit bestenfalls 9,6 Litern (219 g/km CO2) an. Während sich der Boxster in 25 Jahren mittlerweile mehr als 350 000 Mal verkauft hat, wird das Jubiläumsmodell eine Rarität bleiben: Mehr als 1250 Autos will Porsche davon nicht bauen.

LONDON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Britain's Deliveroo said on Tuesday it has beefed up its board ahead of an expected initial public offering this year with the appointment of Simon Wolfson, the veteran boss of clothing retailer Next, as a non-executive director.
The food delivery company said on Sunday it had raised a further $180 million from existing investors, including minority shareholder Amazon, in a move that values the business at more than $7 billion.
Deliveroo is set to hold an IPO in the coming months, in what would be the biggest new share issue in London for three years.
Wolfson's appointment comes after Deliveroo named Claudia Arney as the company's first chair in November.
Deliveroo founder and CEO Will Shu said Wolfson would bring "great knowledge and insight" to the board.
Wolfson has been Next's CEO since 2001.
He is also a peer of Britain's ruling Conservative Party, sitting in the upper house of parliament. (Reporting by James Davey and Paul Sandle; editing by Sarah Young and Pravin Char)

Diggers start work on another Kent lorry park for 1,200 trucks

Work has begun on yet another Kent lorry park as diggers carved up farmland above the White Cliffs of Dover today for a new post-Brexit customs facility.
Once complete, the site in Guston, near Dover, will be able to hold 1,200 trucks, should there be delays at the ports similar to those seen last month.
Work is well underway at a similar facility in Sevington, Ashford, which will be able to hold up to 2,000 trucks.
The sites in Guston and Sevington are set to be used for post-Brexit customs checks to prevent delays at nearby ports - with three other sites in Kent are set to also be up and running by July.
But villagers are up in arms over at Guston, referred to as the Dover White Cliffs site, amid fears it will replace Manston Airport as the main holding bay for lorries in the event of cross-Channel delays.
Once up and running, Dover White Cliffs will carry out checks for the Port of Dover, while Sevington will monitor Eurotunnel checks.
Work on the Kent coast comes after thousands of lorries trapped were trapped in the county last month when France closed its border to Britain.
Lorry drivers were forced to park up at Manston Airport, where there is provision for 4,000 HGVs, as well as Ashford International Lorry Park, which has space for 200, while the M20 was also used as a holding bay under Operation Stack.
Post-Brexit plans have spread custom check points across the county.
Government documents show there are plans to continue using Manston Airport, while building a second site at Ashford to use when Sevington is unavailable.
Further away from the ports, Ebbsfleet International could also be used for Eurotunnel checks, with KentOnline reporting it has space for 256 lorries.
Villagers in Guston are up in arms over the arrival of the checkpoint, which is expected to be up and running in July.
Charlotte Ashmore, whose son has autism, told The Guardian: 'I'm absolutely devastated.
'I'm considering putting the house on the market but we've just got a new five-year mortgage so we are trapped.'
Former lorry driver Mick Palmer, who also lives in the village, is concerned lorry drivers will use the site to park up, rather than just as a customs facility.
He said: 'I know exactly what will happen. Lorries have nowhere to park in Kent, and they will come in here and stop and wave their tachograph and say: "I'm not moving."'
The Department for Transport was forced to deny claims the site in Guston was going to replace Manston, which held thousands of lorries during last month's disruption.
The Government reiterated the Dover White Cliffs site was to be used as a customs check facility.
MailOnline has approached the DfT for comment.

GENEVA, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Militant attacks that have forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes in Mozambique's northern Cabo Delgado province have created a humanitarian crisis, the U.N. World Food Programme (WFP) said on Tuesday.
"What is happening is nothing short of a food security and nutritional crisis," WFP spokesman Tomson Phiri told a U.N. briefing. "This is a humanitarian disaster."
The attacks have forced 570,000 people to flee, Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi said last month, saying he would defeat insurgents who stepped up attacks since pledging loyalty to Islamic State last year.
Speaking ahead of a joint briefing by U.N. agencies on Wednesday, Phiri said there were limited supplies so the cost of food had soared, while access to water and sanitation was also impacted, as was education.
The insurgent group, Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama, staged its first attack in 2017. Known at first mainly for beheadings, the fighters declared allegiance to Islamic State in June 2019 and since then have increased attacks in scale and frequency. (Reporting by Emma Thomasson; Editing by Angus MacSwan)

Duisburg. Einsamkeit ist bei der Telefonseelsorge Duisburg nach wie vor das dominante Thema. In Corona-Zeiten ist die Zahl der Anrufe gestiegen.
Was tun gegen die Einsamkeit? Diese Frage hat in Zeiten der Coronavirus-Pandemie einen besonderen Stellenwert. Das merkt auch die Telefonseelsorge in Duisburg, die auch für die Städte Oberhausen und Mülheim an der Ruhr zuständig ist. "Vergangenes Jahr hatten wir im Schnitt zehn Prozent mehr Anrufe", sagt Olaf Meier, Leiter der Telefonseelsorge, im Gespräch mit dieser Redaktion.
• +++ Sie wollen keine Nachrichten aus Duisburg mehr verpassen? Dann können Sie hier unseren kostenlosen Newsletter abonnieren +++
Dabei seien die Anrufe in Wellen aufgetreten. Während im März 2020 besonders Fragen rund um das neuartige Virus die Mitarbeiter erreichten (Was passiert, wenn ich infiziert bin? Wie kann ich mich schützen?), ließ der Andrang zum Sommer hin nach. "Im Herbst veränderten sich dann die Themen", erklärt Theologe und Psychologe Meier. Die Angst vor Isolation und Einsamkeit rückte bei vielen Anrufern in den Vordergrund. Schon vorher galt: "60 Prozent der Anrufe kommen von Alleinlebenden", sagt Meier. Viele von ihnen riefen mehrfach die Woche an.
Single-Haushalte, hohe Lebenserwartung: Einsamkeit nimmt zu
Einsamkeit sei seit Jahren ein dominantes Thema. "Früher ging es oft um schwierige Beziehungen", sagt Meier. "Heute eher um fehlende Beziehungen." Das Thema Einsamkeit sei in der Gesellschaft angekommen, die Zahl der Single-Haushalte nehme zu, die Lebenserwartung der Menschen steige. "Wir merken, dass das ein Riesenthema ist." Corona und die Folgen verschärfen diesen Zustand.
• Wie entwickelt sich die Coronavirus-Pandemie? Hier geht es zum Corona-Newsblog für Duisburg
Dabei sei nicht jeder Anruf direkt dramatisch. "Manchmal ersetzt das Gespräch mit der Seelsorge das Gespräch im Treppenhaus", weiß Meier. Was vor Corona noch problemlos möglich war, bringt viele nun an Grenzen. Vor den Weihnachtsfeiertagen konnte die Telefonseelsorge nicht abschätzen, wie groß der Andrang werden würde. "Denn vor Corona waren die Weihnachtsfeiertage die Tage, die sozial gesehen am besten abgedeckt waren", erklärt Meier. Die Menschen besuchen ihre Familien, nehmen Angebote von Kirchengemeinden und Bahnhofsmissionen wahr. Das war dieses Mal nicht möglich. 42 Anrufe registrierte die Seelsorge an Heiligabend, in normalen Zeiten sind es 30 bis 35 Gespräche.
Telefonseelsorge Duisburg: 120 Ehrenamtler im Einsatz
120 ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter gehören zum Team der Telefonseelsorge, ein Telefon ist 24 Stunden besetzt, ein weiteres zwölf Stunden am Tag. "Ich hatte im März die Sorge, dass viele Mitarbeiter aufgrund der Situation nicht arbeiten wollen oder können", sagt Meier. Eine Pflicht gibt es für die Mitarbeiter nicht, wer aufhören will, kann dies jederzeit tun. Erfreulich: "Kein einziger Dienst ist seit März ausgefallen", sagt Meier. Wenn ein Mitarbeiter aufgrund der Situation seinen Dienst nicht wahrnehmen konnte, sind andere Mitarbeiter eingesprungen, haben mehr Stunden gearbeitet als vorgesehen.

Damit der Stand von 120 Mitarbeitern gehalten werden kann, startet die Telefonseelsorge jedes Jahr eine neue Ausbildungsgruppe. "Vergangenes Jahr haben wir im Sommer statt im Frühjahr begonnen", sagt Meier. Aufgrund der Corona-Situation sei dies nicht anders realisierbar gewesen. Zwölf Ehrenamtliche gehören zur aktuellen Gruppe, Workshops und Seminare finden meist an den Wochenenden statt.
"Wir machen das über Zoom-Konferenzen, weil wir uns aktuell nicht treffen können", erklärt der Leiter. Neben Rollenspielen und Gesprächen stehen auch praktische Erfahrungen an: Die Anwärter können bei einem Telefongespräch anwesend sein und den Alltag der Seelsorger besser kennenlernen. "Bisher haben wir immer noch genügend Menschen gefunden, die bereit und geeignet sind, diesen Dienst zu machen", freut sich Meier.
Telefonseelsorge Duisburg: Neue Mitarbeiter immer gesucht
Auch in diesem Jahr startet wieder eine Ausbildungsgruppe, die Aufgabenfelder werden stetig umfangreicher. "Wir haben seit 20 Jahren auch eine Mail-Seelsorge", erklärt Meier. Wer einen Anruf scheut, kann also auch per E-Mail Kontakt aufnehmen. Und auch ein Angebot für Beratungen per Chat gibt es mittlerweile. Interessierte können zu einem Infoabend kommen, anschließend schicken sie einen Bewerbungsbogen. An einem Auswahltag können sie zeigen, ob sie für diese Aufgabe geeignet sind: "Wir beobachten die Kandidaten, ob sie die Grundbedingungen erfüllen, die man nicht trainieren kann", erklärt Meier.

A counter-terrorism unit raiding a militant hideout in central Indonesia has killed two men suspected by police of involvement in twin bombings at a Philippines church in 2019 that killed more than 20 people.
Police said in a statement the raid in Makassar in South Sulawesi by the Densus 88 unit led to a fatal shootout with two suspected militants who resisted arrest.
Makassar police chief Witnu Urip Laksana told Reuters separately that the suspects were involved in the bombings of the cathedral on Jolo island in a restive, predominantly Muslim region of the Catholic-majority Philippines.
Police carried out "firm and calculated" action against the two suspects, Witnu said.
Police suspect the men were members of the Islamic State-inspired Jamaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), which has carried out a series of attacks in Indonesia.
Authorities in the Philippines concluded that the January 2019 church attack was a suicide bombing by an Indonesian couple, with the help of a faction of local group Abu Sayyaf, which has pledged allegiance to Islamic State.
More than 100 people were also wounded in the incident, which was among the first and so far deadliest suicide bombings in the Philippines, where such attacks were almost unheard of until 2018.
The country's Defence Secretary Delfin Lorenzana did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.

RiverFront Investment Group's Kevin Nicholson believes inflation comeback worries are premature because Treasury yields' upside is limited.
His latest analysis came as the benchmark 10-year Treasury Note yield hit its highest level in almost ten months.
"The market is preparing for further stimulus," the firm's global fixed income co-chief investment officer told CNBC's "Trading Nation" on Tuesday." "I see Treasury yields trading in about a 20 basis point span in the short-term."
On Tuesday, the 10-year yield hit 1.187%, its highest level since March 20. So far this year, it has surged 25% — exceeding Nicholson's near-term forecast which was between .95% and 1.15%.
But that's not swaying Nicholson's longer term call: 1.3% by year-end.
"As long as we don't get a stimulus package that's above say, a trillion dollars ... I don't think we will breach our upper end here," he said.
Nicholson, who has spent almost three decades on Wall Street, manages $7.9 billion in assets. Forty percent of those holdings are in fixed income.
"I'm not worried about inflation in 2021," he said. "Inflation is going to be a 2022 issue."
His reason: It comes down to this year's challenged jobs market.
"We need to see employment pick up, and we need to see wages rise," Nicholson said. "Once we get wages rising, then we will create more demand with that discretionary income. So for now, we don't see inflation being a problem in 2021 especially because we still have lockdowns going on periodically throughout the country."

Sputnik-AstraZeneca vaccine trials to start in February, says R-Pharm

MOSCOW, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Human trials of a coronavirus vaccine combining Russia's Sputnik V shot with that developed by Britain's AstraZeneca and Oxford University are expected to start in early February, the chairman of Russian drugmaker R-Pharm told Reuters.
AstraZeneca first announced plans to explore the possibility of working with Russian scientists on a combined vaccine in December, interpreted by Moscow as a vote of confidence in its vaccine.
There have been few details on where and how the trials will be run, but R-Pharm Chairman Alexei Repik, whose company will produce both Sputnik V and AstraZeneca shots, said human trials of a combined vaccine are expected to begin early next month.
The trials will take place in Azerbaijan, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Belarus, Russia and elsewhere, he said.
AstraZeneca did not respond immediately to a Reuters request for comment.
A source close to Sputnik developer Gamaleya Institute also said the trial's first inoculations will be in early February, adding that Ukraine will be among the countries taking part.
Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian the sovereign wealth fund responsible for marketing Sputnik V abroad, has previously said that combining the two vaccines would boost the efficacy of the AstraZeneca shot.
Its average efficacy rate was 70.4% in interim late-stage data, compared with more than 91.4% in trials of Sputnik V, which prompted Russian vaccine developers to suggest an attempt to combine the two.
Both vaccines employ two doses, an initial shot and a booster, and are based on a similar scientific approach using common cold viruses as vectors.
Mixing or switching between COVID-19 vaccines is largely driven by the aim of vaccinating as many people as possible as the pandemic rages on.
ClinicalTrials.Gov ClinicalTrials.Govct2/show/record/NCT04684446?term=AZD1222&draw= 2, a database of clinical studies conducted around the world, gives an estimated study start date of March 16 and primary completion date of Nov. 16.
There will be an estimated 100 participants in Phase 1-2 of the trials. They will first receive the AstraZeneca vaccine and then the Sputnik V shot 29 days later. (Reporting by Polina Nikolskaya Writing by Polina Ivanova Editing by David Goodman)

Duisburg. Im April läuft die Förderung der Altstadtmanager aus. Das sind die Pläne der Politiker aus der Bezirksvertretung Mitte für die Münzstraße.
Im April 2021 läuft der Vertrag der Altstadtmanager Yvonne Bleidorn und Francesco Mannarino aus. Die beiden haben 2015 ihre Arbeit aufgenommen, um neuen Schwung in die abgehängte Münzstraße zu bringen. Leerstände bestimmten vor sechs Jahren das Bild. Seitdem führten die beiden Gespräch mit Immobilienbesitzern, Kaufleuten und Nachbarn.
Einiges hat sich seitdem getan: So hat Krankikom seine Firmenzentrale zum Calaisplatz verlagert, John Reed ein exklusives Sportstudio im ehemaligen „Peek & Cloppenburg“-Haus eröffnet, es gab Weihnachtsmärkte und Veranstaltungen und der "Knüllermarkt" lockt ohnehin seine Fans in die Altstadt. Die Frage ist nur, wie es demnächst in diesem Bereich der Innenstadt weiter gehen soll. Das haben wir die Fraktionen der Bezirksvertretung Mitte gefragt. Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, FDP und Junges Duisburg, die CDU sowie die FRAKTION, bestehend aus Michael Dubielczyk von der Linken und Matthias Eidens von "Die PARTEI" antworteten. Die SPD muss sich noch beraten. Karsten Ebert von der AfD reagierte nicht.
CDU sieht keine Trendwende in der Altstadt
Matthias Schumacher von der CDU erklärt: "Unsere Münzstraße und die gesamte Altstadt sind seit langer Zeit ,Sorgenkinder' im Bezirk Mitte. Bei der Münzstraße als so genannten "Verknüpfungspunkt" bedarf es aus Sicht der CDU-Fraktion unbedingt einer Aufwertung durch eine bessere Anbindung an den Innenhafen und den Calaisplatz, dessen Umbau ja bereits von der Bezirksvertretung Mitte beschlossen wurde."
Eine Aufwertung der Münzstraße könne aber nicht nur durch öffentliche Mittel erreicht werden, es müssten auch die Hausbesitzer der großen Immobilien "mit ins Boot geholt werden". Zwar sei den Bezirkspolitikern 2017 mitgeteilt worden, dass die Kontaktaufnahme zu Hausbesitzern gelungen sei. "Leider ist bis heute eine Trendwende nicht sichtbar", bedauert Schumacher. "Aus politischer Sicht bedarf es sicherlich weiterer intensiver Bemühungen an dieser Stelle und eines ganzheitlichen neuen Konzeptes, das auch durch Veränderungen im Stadtmarketing erreicht werden könnte."
Junges Duisburg und FDP hoffen auf einen festen Ansprechpartner
"In der Altstadt hat sich in den letzten Jahren viel zu wenig getan. Das Quartiersmanagement war von Anfang an zu kleinteilig aufgestellt", ziehen die Vertreter von Junges Duisburg und FDP, die nun eine gemeinsame Fraktion bilden, eine Bilanz. "Wir stellen uns im Bereich der Münzstraße ein lebendiges Kreativ- und Wohnquartier vor, das aber erfolgreichen Einzelhandel wie den Knüllermarkt und kleines Handwerk weiter zulässt."
Zudem müsse die Öffnung des Viertels zum Innenhafen an der Unterstraße fortgesetzt werden, "einschließlich Pflege der historischen Restsubstanz und Sanierung der Schwanentorbrücke als Landmarke". Von Seiten der Verwaltung sollte nach dem Auslaufen des Quartiersmanagements ein fester Ansprechpartner erhalten bleiben.
Grüne wollen Aufenthaltsqualität erhöhen
Dr. Gabriele Siegert, Fraktionsvorsitzende der Grünen, schätzt die Arbeit der beiden Quartiersmanager positiver ein: "Das Altstadtmanagement hat mit seinen begrenzten Ressourcen einen positiven Beitrag geleistet. In Zukunft muss es darum gehen, die gesamte Innenstadt weiter zu entwickeln. Dabei sollte die Aufenthaltsqualität im Fokus stehen, stärker als der wirtschaftliche Ertrag."
Die Aufenthaltsqualität könne etwa durch Gastronomie, kulturelle Angebote und gepflegte Grünflächen erhöht werden. "Die Fördergelder aus dem NRW-Programm ,Sofortprogramm Innenstadt 2020' sollten ökologisch nachhaltig und allen zugänglich eingesetzt werden."
Linke und "Die PARTEI": "Erfolgreiche Arbeit soll fortgesetzt werden"
Michael Dubielczyk (Linke) und Matthias Eidens (Die PARTEI) sind nun "Die FRAKTION". Dubielczyk betont: "Die Förderung für das Altstadtmanagement läuft gegen den mehrfach erklärten Willen der Linke aus. Es hat sich Vieles zum Positiven in der Altstadt verändert."
Deshalb müssten nun nach der Projektförderung nun feste Strukturen geschaffen werden: "Wir als FRAKTION wollen, dass diese erfolgreiche Arbeit für die nächsten Jahre fortgesetzt werden kann." Allerdings sollten dann das Altstadtmanagement und die Bezirksvertretung enger zusammen arbeiten als in der Vergangenheit. "Ein regelmäßiger Austausch über Pläne und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten wird angestrebt."

SINGAPORE — Stocks in Japan were set to trade mixed at the Wednesday open as investors watch for developments on the coronavirus front.
Futures pointed to a mixed open for Japanese stocks. The Nikkei futures contract in Chicago was at 28,170 while its counterpart in Osaka was at 28,130. That compared against the Nikkei 225's last close at 28,164.34.
The Japanese government is set to expand the state of emergency to more areas on Wednesday, according to local media reports. That comes after Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga recently declared a state of emergency in Tokyo and three other areas in a bid to stem a rise in coronavirus infections.
Shares in Australia edged higher in early trading, as the S&P/ASX 200 gained about 0.1%.
Overnight stateside, the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 60 points to close at 31,068.69. The Nasdaq Composite ended its trading day day up 0.3% at 13,072.43. The S&P 500 rose fractionally on the day to 3,801.19.
The moves stateside came as the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note briefly traded at 1.187%, its highest level since March. It later eased and was last at 1.1291%. Rates have been rising since Democrats secured majorities in both the House and Senate, opening up the door for additional fiscal stimulus.
Investors will also watch for developments from Washington, with the U.S. House set to push ahead with efforts to remove President Donald Trump from office over his role in sparking last week's deadly attack on the Capitol.
Currencies
The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against a basket of its peers, was last at 90.042 after seeing levels above 90.4 earlier in the week.
The Japanese yen traded at 103.77 per dollar, stronger than levels above 104 against the greenback seen earlier this week. The Australian dollar changed hands at $0.7769, having risen from levels below $0.77 touched earlier in the trading week.

Glen Jakovich warns Sydney against pushing WA’s Logan McDonald, calls for AFL draft age to be lifted

Eagles great Glen Jakovich has warned the AFL to lift the draft age or risk seeing more talented youngsters fall “on the scrapheap” by the time they are 21.
Jakovich, who himself was an 18-year-old when he debuted for West Coast back in 1991, believes current draftees are not “physically and mentally ready” for the demands of AFL, and warned youngsters like WA’s Logan McDonald not to expect too much in their first season.
“Too many young players are going into this environment not ready physically and mentally, and we’re going to rush players,” he told Sportsday WA.
“The AFL are clubland, they are trying to do everything in such a short space of time.
“They are in a hurry (because) they draft them and they want to get maximum results out of them in the first two years.
“They get a standard two-year contract and it’s just not enough time.”
Jakovich says he expects rising star McDonald (taken by Sydney with pick four in the AFL Draft) to play a handful of games, but warned the Swans risked burning him out if they pushed too hard.
“Logan McDonald, I hope he gets a taste, plays five or six games and holds his own,” Jakovich predicted.
“But he’s got a lot of growth and development and you’ve got to be careful at clubs how you bring young players in.
“You can’t have him playing 18 games or more next year and expect there’s not going to be any wear or tear on such a young player introduced into a professional program so early in the piece.”
Jakovich wants the draft age lifted until at least 19, and called on the AFL to give more funds to grassroots football so clubs can develop their talented juniors.
“I want players to experience a bit more of life, life experiences, get a job in the real world… spend some more time in the SANFL, WAFL, the local leagues,” he said.
“The under 18s competition can use players more for another 12 months and really give those clubs the responsibility of developing the players and fast-tracking development of the players.
“That’s where the money of the review can go, more to the grassroots and don’t leave it all to the AFL.”
The two-time premiership Eagle says too many players are falling through the cracks because they are pushed too hard as a teenager.
“I’ve got a number of players that are examples through the AFL academy program, they were thrown and thrust into the AFL system way too early, got injuries and lost complete confidence in the system. (They) didn’t like it, didn’t like it at clubland because of the pressure mounting on them to play at AFL level when they were an outstanding junior,” he said.
“Then they are on the scrapheap by 21 years of age when they should be at the peak of their careers.”
A number of AFL coaches have thrown their support behind raising the draft age until at least 19, including Luke Beveridge and Nathan Buckley, while Tigers’ three-time premiership coach Damien Hardwick says he’s prepared to push the draft age to 20.
“For the benefits of the kids coming through in future, I think I could probably go a little bit higher (than 19) … One year out of school is OK but two years would be even better for mine,” Hardwick said on FoxFooty.
“The AFL career only averages out to about three or four years for most, so at least they can fall back onto something.”

Lawyers for UK's Meghan seek to stop privacy case going to trial

LONDON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Lawyers for Meghan, Britain's Duchess of Sussex, asked a London judge on Tuesday to rule in her favor in a privacy case against a tabloid newspaper without a trial, arguing the publication has no prospect of winning.
Meghan, 39, the wife of Queen Elizabeth's grandson Prince Harry, is suing Associated Newspapers after its Mail on Sunday printed extracts of a handwritten letter she sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle, in August 2018.
She is seeking aggravated damages, saying the publication of the letter was a misuse of private information and breached her copyright.
The paper has said the duchess was willing for other private matters to become public if it suited her interests, and it was justified in publishing parts of the letter in response to interviews her anonymous friends had given to the U.S. magazine People, and because of her royal status.
At the start of a two-day hearing at London's High Court, Meghan's lawyer, Justin Rushbrooke, said judge Mark Warby should give a summary judgment in favor of the former U.S. actress as the paper's arguments had "no reasonable grounds" of success and did not stand up to scrutiny.
He said the Mail on Sunday had broken the code of conduct that British newspapers worked by, and the case raised "a disturbing question" about who controlled the contents of a private letter.
"Is it the writer of the letter or the editor of the Mail on Sunday?" Rushbrooke said.
"There can only be one answer to that question and the answer would be the same irrespective of whether the write was a duchess or any other citizen. And the answer is it is not the editor of the Mail on Sunday."
He said the decision to publish the letter was an assault on "her private life, her family life and her correspondence." In documents submitted to the court, her legal team described the paper's defense as "a case of smoke and mirrors."
In its written argument submitted to the court, the Mail on Sunday said Meghan had expected the letter's contents to become public, and, even if she had a privacy right, it was outweighed by the paper's freedom of expression rights.
"This case is wholly unsuitable for summary judgment. There is uncertainty as to a number of significant factual matters which can, and should, be investigated at trial when the court will have the full picture in terms of disclosure and evidence," the paper's legal team said.
The trial was due to start last week but was delayed until late 2021 because of a "confidential" reason. (Reporting by Michael Holden; Editing by William James and Alex Richardson)

Duisburg. Wegen Kindesmissbrauch verurteilte das Landgericht Duisburg einen 29-Jährigen zu mehrjähriger Haft. Seine Opfer sind Töchter der Ex-Partnerin.
Mit einem deutlichen Urteil wegen Kindesmissbrauchs endete vor dem Duisburger Landgericht am König-Heinrich-Platz das Verfahren gegen einen 29-jährigen Angeklagten. Weil er über Jahre die Töchter seiner Ex-Lebensgefährtin missbrauchte, die zu Beginn der Taten gerade einmal drei und fünf Jahre alt waren, muss der Mann sechs Jahre ins Gefängnis.
Zu Beginn des zweitägigen Verfahrens hatte der in Duisburg geborene Angeklagte aus Castrop-Rauxel rückhaltlos gestanden, sich zwischen 2015 und 2020 immer wieder an den Mädchen vergangen zu haben. Die Taten ereigneten sich, wenn der er sich im Rahmen seines Besuchsrechtes an Wochenenden in der Wohnung der Ex-Partnerin, wo die Kinder lebten, aufhielt. Das Paar hat auch eine gemeinsame Tochter, die ebenfalls bei der Mutter wohnt.
Mutter der Mädchen ermittelte auf eigene Faust
Im Urteil blieben 33 der ursprünglich mehr als 60 angeklagten Fälle übrig. Die restlichen Anklagepunkte stellte das Gericht ein, um das Urteil juristisch zu verschlanken. Auf das Strafmaß habe das allerdings keinen Einfluss, betonte der Vorsitzende der Strafkammer.
Nachdem sich die Kinder ihrer Mutter anvertraut hatten, ermittelte die Frau auf eigene Faust. Um ihren Ex-Partner als Pädophilen zu überführen, nahm sie im Internet Kontakt zu ihm auf und tat dabei so, als sei sie ein 14-jähriges Mädchen. Der Angeklagte reagierte wie von seiner einstigen Lebensgefährtin erwartet: Er schickte intime Bilder von sich und bat das vermeintliche Kind, auch von sich selbst entsprechende Fotos zu schicken.
Psychiater hielt Angeklagten für voll schuldfähig
Ein psychiatrischer Sachverständiger bestätigte, dass der Angeklagte entsprechende Neigungen habe. Allerdings seien die nicht so stark ausgeprägt, dass sie das gesamte Leben des Mannes bestimmten. Eine Beeinträchtigung der Schuldfähigkeit des 29-Jährigen vermochte dieser Gutachter nicht zu erkennen.
Für den Angeklagten sprachen im Urteil vor allem zwei Gesichtspunkte: Bislang war noch nie mit dem Gesetz in Konflikt geraten. Und mit seinem Geständnis ersparte er den jungen Missbrauchsopfern eine Aussage vor Gericht. Zu Lasten des 29-Jährigen werteten die Richter den langen Tatzeitraum, das sehr junge Alter der missbrauchten Kinder und die psychischen Folgen für die Mädchen, die derzeit noch gar nicht in ihrer ganzen Tragweite absehbar seien.

Dortmund. Jadon Sancho und Marco Reus zeigen beim BVB aufsteigende Tendenz. Sportdirektor Michael Zorc lobt beide - und sieht noch viel Luft nach oben.
Offenbar konnte man sich bei Borussia Dortmund gar nicht sattsehen: Am Dienstagnachmittag postete der Klub ein Video auf Twitter, das noch einmal das erste Tor zum 3:1-Sieg bei RB Leipzig zeigte. Wie Marco Reus eine Hereingabe von der rechten Seite aus vollem Lauf per Hacke hinter dem Standbein entlang zu Jadon Sancho lenkte, wie wie der sicher abschloss – das war schon große Fußballkunst.
Mehr News und Hintergründe zum BVB:
Was die Dortmunder Freude über den Treffer aber noch steigerte, war der Beitrag der Protagonisten Reus und Sancho. Die sind zwar grundsätzlich bekannt für technische Kabinettstückchen, haben damit in der laufenden Saison aber lange gegeizt. Die unwiderstehlichen Dribblings Sanchos, die klugen Läufe, präzisen Pässe und scharfen Schüsse des Kapitäns Reus – all das fehlte dem BVB-Spiel. Wenn BVB-Sportdirektor Michael Zorc oder Geschäftsführer Hans-Joachim Watzke über die Formschwäche vieler Profis klagten, waren auch diese gemeint.
Sancho zeigt sich selbstkritisch
Denn auch ihre Statistiken waren unterdurchschnittlich: Reus gelangen bis zur kurzen Winterpause vier Tore und zwei Vorlagen in allen Pflichtspielen. Bei Sancho waren es vier Treffer, neun weitere legte er auf. Respektable Zahlen für einen 20-Jährigen – aber mit 20 Treffern und 20 Vorlagen in der Vorsaison hatte er die Messlatte viel höher gelegt.
„Die Saison war bislang sehr schwierig für mich persönlich“, sagt Sancho. „Also wusste ich, als ich in den Urlaub ging, dass ich mich nur auf mein Spiel konzentrieren müsse. Und als ich zurückkam, habe ich darauf gebrannt, wieder loszulegen.“ In den jüngsten drei Spielen gelangen ihm jeweils ein Tor und eine Vorlage, auch in Leipzig kam ja noch eine dazu. Und Reus legte im Duell mit dem Bundesliga-Zweiten zwei Treffer auf.
Lob von BVB-Sportdirektor Zorc
„Jadon und Marco hatten schon zuletzt einen Aufwärtstrend, der hat sich fortgesetzt“, lobt Sportdirektor Michael Zorc im Gespräch mit dieser Redaktion. „Es geht aber natürlich noch besser.“ Denn, auch das gehört zur Wahrheit: Es gab in Leipzig ja auch jene erste Halbzeit, in der die hochbegabte BVB-Offensive nicht einen Torschuss zustande brachte. In der Vergangenheit aber ließen sich die Fußballkünstler Sancho und Reus dadurch durchaus mal aus dem Konzept bringen, sie verstrickten sich in unnötige verbale Scharmützel und sinnfreie Dribblings oder haderten mit dem eigenen Spiel.
Diesmal fanden sie buchstäblich über den Kampf zum Spiel. „Sie haben schon in der ersten Halbzeit, als es offensiv nicht lief, vollen Einsatz gezeigt, sie haben sich in den Dienst der Mannschaft gestellt“, lobt Zorc. „Das ist der Weg, anders geht es nicht.“ Dass der Aufschwung der beiden einhergeht mit der Installation des neuen Cheftrainers Edin Terzic, hält man in der Chefetage nicht für Zufall. Gerade mit Reus und Sancho hat Terzic in seinen ersten Tagen das Einzelgespräch gesucht, hat ihnen versichert, dass er auf sie baut – und versucht, ihnen zu helfen, die Köpfe freibekommen.
Nagelprobe gegen Mainz
Denn gerade bei Sancho hatte man im Klub das Gefühl, dass er manches Mal zu viel wollte, dass er versuchte, die alte Leichtigkeit zu erzwingen und darüber nur verkrampfte. Nun ist die Hoffnung groß, dass aus dem kurzen Aufwärtstrend ein nachhaltiger wird, dass die jüngsten Erfolgserlebnisse neues Selbstvertrauen geben und die Zweifel verfliegen lassen, bei Sancho genauso wie bei Reus. Denn nur dann kann man in Dortmund weiter von Titeln träumen.
Zeigen kann sich das am Samstag gegen Mainz 05 (15.30 Uhr/Sky). Ein Gegner im Tabellenkeller, der vor allem darauf aus ist, das gegnerische Spiel zu zerstören – und gegen den Reus und Sancho beweisen können, wie gut sie Kampf und Spielkultur inzwischen vereinen.

India captain Ajiknya Rahane has refused to be drawn into the Brisbane hotel quarantine saga, insistent it would not distract his players in the third Test at the SCG.
Rahane became the first India player to speak since a source within their camp aired frustrations over the looming quarantine in Brisbane.
But the stand-in skipper refused to say if his team would travel to the Gabba for the fourth Test or push for it to be played elsewhere, stating that any decisions would be left with team management.
He also pointed out on three separate occasions that the cricketers were living under tougher conditions in Sydney than the general public, who he said were enjoying a normal life.
However he claimed that was not annoying his Indian team during the city's outbreak, as they gear up for a crucial clash in Sydney with the series locked at 1-1 and two Tests to play.
"We know that outside life in Sydney is completely normal. But the players we are quarantine," Rahane said.
"It is a challenge but we have to face it as a team.
"We are just focusing on tomorrow's game, we're not complaining or anything ... We just want to start well in tomorrow's game.
"The BCCI and team management will make any decisions (about Brisbane)."
Players from both teams have previously enjoyed some freedoms since serving their two weeks' quarantine on arriving in Australia, but that has largely ended in Sydney.
Teams will also be confined to their hotel in Brisbane when not playing, under the conditions of the exemption to travel over the closed border from NSW to Queensland.
Rahane's also played a straight bat when told Australia's captain Tim Paine admitted earlier on Wednesday that India's complaints were grinding on the hosts and the series was at boiling point.
Instead, India have more immediate matters to address in their XI.
Navdeep Saini will debut in a young bowling attack with Umesh Yadav joining Mohammed Shami on the sidelines.
Rohit Sharma will also return to the team after a hamstring injury and two weeks' in quarantine at the expense of Mayank Agarwal.
"We all are really excited to have him back on the team, especially his experience at the highest level," Rahane said.
"He is batting really well in the nets.
"He came to Melbourne, started his practice straight away when our Test match was over.
"The last couple of series he has been playing as an opener so you will definitely see him at the top."
India XI: Ajinkya Rahane (captain), Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Navdeep Saini.

Duisburg. Die Polizei hat bei einer Verkehrskontrolle in Duisburg einen mutmaßlichen Drogendealer erwischt. Neben Drogen war auch ein Tresor im Fahrzeug.
Eine Streifenwagenbesatzung hat am Freitag bei einer Verkehrskontrolle in Duisburg einen Mercedes-Fahrer überprüft – und so einen mutmaßlichen Drogendealer erwischt. Denn im Auto fanden die Polizisten neben Drogen, einer Feinwaage und Bargeld auch einen Tresor.
Gegen 19.10 Uhr überprüften die Beamten den am Steuer sitzenden 26 Jahre alten Fahrer und seinen 20-jährigen Beifahrer in einem Auto auf einem Parkplatz an der Straße Am Ziegelkamp. Nachdem der Fahrer den Uniformierten seinen Führerschein und den Fahrzeugschein gezeigt hatte, fanden die Beamten bei ihm mehrere Tüten Cannabis sowie ein paar 50- und 100-Euro-Scheine. Plötzlich griff der Beifahrer das Geld und rannte weg.

Mutmaßliche Drogendealer wurden dem Haftrichter vorgeführt
Von Erfolg gekrönt war seine Flucht nicht: Polizisten ermittelten seinen Namen, fanden ihn in seiner Wohnung und nahmen ihn vorläufig fest. Den Fahrer ereilte das gleiche Schicksal, nachdem er sich wegen Fahrens unter Drogeneinfluss einer Blutprobe unterziehen musste.
Auf Antrag der Staatsanwaltschaft Duisburg wurden die beiden Insassen des Mercedes wegen des Verdachts des unerlaubten Handeltreibens mit Betäubungsmitteln in nicht geringer Menge einem Haftrichter vorgeführt. Dieser erließ U-Haftbefehle, die mit Auflagen versehen wurden. Die Kriminalpolizei nimmt nun das sichergestellte Auto genauer unter die Lupe.

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Halliburton Co on Tuesday reported a 60% rise in fourth-quarter adjusted profit from the third, as demand for oilfield equipment and services recovered slightly from the pandemic-driven fall-out in drilling activity and on the back of cost cuts.
Adjusted net income attributable to company rose to $160 million, or 18 cents per share, in the three months ended Dec. 31, from the $100 million, or 11 cents per share, in the third quarter. (Reporting by Arathy S Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel)

Duisburg. Der Lockdown geht im Handel in die ungewisse Verlängerung. Zukunftsperspektiven fehlen und die Stimmung bei Duisburger Händlern "schlägt um".
Der Einzelhandel in Duisburg muss in die Lockdown-Verlängerung. Statt wie erhofft am 11. Januar wieder öffnen zu dürfen, sollen viele Geschäfte – mindestens – bis Ende Januar geschlossen bleiben. Die Sorge der Händler ist groß – selbst bei jenen, die derzeit entlang der Königstraße öffnen dürfen.
"Wir haben auf, um zu überleben", sagt Cornelius van der Star. Der Niederländer betreibt in Duisburg drei Blumenläden. Von einer Ladenschließung ist der Florist zwar nicht betroffen, von ausbleibenden Kunden aber schon. Umliegende Geschäfte sind geschlossen, das spüre der Geschäftsführer auch in seiner Kasse. Er hofft deshalb, dass der Handel bald wieder aus seinem künstlichen Winterschlaf geweckt wird.
Handel in Duisburg: fehlende Perspektive und Existenznot
Bis dahin heißt es, die Zeit zu überbrücken. Die Öffnungszeiten wurden angepasst, so schließen die Filialen an Kuh- und Königstraße bereits um 16 Uhr und damit zwei Stunden früher als gewohnt. Anders sei es nicht wirtschaftlich. Ebenso eine Reduzierung von Amaryllis, Tulpen und Co.: "Wir bestellen weniger Blumen und gehen kein Risiko ein." Aber er öffnet, erklärt er, auch weil der Florist seine Stammkunden nicht an Supermärkte verlieren möchte, die auch Schnittblumen verkaufen.
[Nichts verpassen, was in Duisburg passiert: Hier für den täglichen Duisburg-Newsletter anmelden.]
Den Lockdown einfach zu verlängern und keinerlei Perspektive oder Pläne für eine Wiedereröffnung der Geschäfte zu präsentieren, ist aus Sicht des Handelsverband Niederrhein "eine Katastrophe": "Wir haben dramatische Einbußen und sind an einem Punkt, wo Insolvenzen drohen", sagt Geschäftsführerin Doris Lewitzky. Gerade der Textil- und Schuhhandel leide unter der Schließung mitten im wichtigen Winterschlussverkauf.
Winterschlussverkauf: Unverkaufte Modelartikel sorgen für Warenlawine
Das führt auch zu einem gewaltigen Warenproblem, so die Expertin. Laut Schätzungen der bundesweiten Handelsverbände Textil, Schuhe und Lederwaren wird sich im stationären Handel bis Ende Januar eine riesige Lawine von einer halben Milliarde unverkaufter Modeartikel auftürmen. Durch den Preisverfall der Ware am Saisonende sei diese Einbuße nicht mehr einzuholen. Das schwedische Textilunternehmen H&M, das eine Filiale im Forum betreibt, wollte sich auf Anfrage der Redaktion nicht zum Thema Warenstau und Umsatz äußern. Stillschweigen und Abwarten, so die Devise der Pressestelle.
Eine Einstellung, die nicht alle Gewerbetreibende teilen. "Die Stimmung im Handel schlägt um", registriert Lewitzky. Weg vom Zweckoptimismus hin zu blanker Existenznot. Unter dem Schlagwort #Wirmachenauf kursierten beispielsweise in sozialen Medien Aufrufe an Händler, ihre Betriebe trotz des verlängerten Lockdowns wieder zu öffnen. Stadt Duisburg und Ordnungsamt hatten deshalb auch Kontrollen angekündigt.
Handel nur ein "Bauernopfer" der Politik?
Viele Händler sähen sich mittlerweile auch als "Bauernopfer" für ausbleibende Erfolge der Politik bei der Pandemie-Bekämpfung, so der Handelsverband, schließlich habe es im Handel und der Belegschaft keine nennenswerten Infizierungen gegeben. Von der Politik fordert der Interessenverband des Handels klare Aussagen, unter welchen Bedingungen die Geschäfte den Betrieb wieder aufnehmen können. Die Perspektivlosigkeit müsse enden, damit Waren bestellt und Marketingmaßnahmen geplant werden können. Auch auf die Personalplanung habe die ungewisse Situation Auswirkungen.
[Weitere Nachrichten aus Duisburg lesen Sie hier.]
Hinzu kommen fehlende staatliche Hilfen. Anders als die Gastronomie, so Lewitzky, sei der Handel von der Novemberhilfe ausgeschlossen. Überbrückungshilfen seien nicht ausreichend. Die Handelsexpertin rechnet vor: Der Einzelhandel erhielt im vergangenen Jahr 2020 Überbrückungshilfen in Höhe von insgesamt 90 Millionen Euro. Der vom Lockdown betroffene Nonfood-Handel aber verzeichnete laut Aussage des Handelsverbandes im selben Zeitraum 36 Milliarden Euro Umsatzminus durch die Pandemie und die damit verbundenen Schließungen. Die staatlichen Hilfen würden dabei nicht einmal annähernd für die Begleichung der Fixkosten reichen.
Warenabholung als kleine Hoffnung
In der Innenstadt geht für die Geschäfte der Überlebenskampf weiter. Wer nicht öffnen darf, so wie etwa die spanische Modekette Zara, bietet Warenabholung an. Auch inhabergeführte Läden gehen diesen Weg, etwa der Knüllermarkt oder der Spielfachhandel Roskothen. "Kleine Einnahmequellen", so Lewitzky, die das Überleben der Händler garantieren sollen.
Im Einkaufszentrum Forum haben 19 Geschäfte geöffnet oder bieten die Abholung per ‘Click & Collect’ an (siehe Infobox). Schwere Zeiten aber selbst für jene Händler: So berichtet die Geschäftsführerin der Kamps-Filiale im Untergeschoss von 60 Prozent Umsatzeinbußen. Ohne Bürogeschäft und Laufkundschaft im Center werden derzeit deutlich weniger Brötchen gebacken.
Diese Geschäfte im Einkaufszentrum Forum haben geöffnet:
• Optiker Apollo und eyes + more, Discounter Aldi, Drogerie dm, Fotostudie Picture People, Telekom Shop, Oil & Vinegar, Tabak & Co.
• Im Food-Corner geöffnet haben: Schlemmer Kebap, Subway, 2Asia-food und Thai Grill
• Click & Collect gibt es bei folgenden Läden: Zara, Mayersche Buchhandlung, Saturn, Rituals, Douglas und Karstadt

Wunderthausen/Hallenberg Der SK Wunderthausen reagiert auf die aktuelle Situation. Am Mittwoch soll die Lage an der Pastorenwiese neu bewertet werden
Der SK Wunderthausen hat sämtliche Loipen im Skilanglaufzentrum an der Pastorenwiese vorläufig gesperrt. Dies gibt der Verein auf seiner Homepage bekannt. Der Grund für die Maßnahme ist drohender Schneebruch nach den ergiebigen, aber feuchten Schneefällen am Dienstag. Abbrechende Äste könnten eine Gefahr für Sportler darstellen, zumal der größte Teil der Hasselrücken- und Ziegenhellenloipe durch Waldgebiete verlaufen.
Die Sperrung beschloss der Verein nach einer Kontrollfahrt gemeinsam mit der Stadt Hallenberg. „Ein Mitarbeiter der Stadt fährt auf dem Skidoo mit, diese Fahrten gab es zuletzt zwei Mal am Tag. Heute wurde dabei festgestellt, dass einige Baumspitzen abgebrochen sind und andere bereits schief sind“, berichtet Jonas Knoche, Vorsitzender des SK Wunderthausen: „Es ist alles nass und schwer, es soll aber wieder kalt werden. Wir werden die Lage im Laufe des Mittwochs neu bewerten.“

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Citrix Systems Inc would buy project management platform Wrike Inc for $2.25 billion from private equity firm Vista Equity Partners, the remote work solutions provider said on Tuesday.
As more companies are choosing to let their employees work remotely on a permanent basis after the COVID-19 pandemic forced office spaces to close during lockdowns, demand for technologies that facilitate virtual collaboration has surged significantly.
Wrike counts Google, Airbnb, Dell and Siemens among its customers.
Citrix said it expects to finance the deal with a combination of new debt and existing cash and investments.
Wrike founder and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Filev will continue to lead the company after the merger, expected to close in the first half of 2021.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as financial adviser to Citrix, while Goldman Sachs Group and Co LLC advised Wrike.

By John Davison
AL-QAIM, Iraq, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Iraq is tightening security along its 600 km (400 mile) border with Syria to curb the movement of Islamic State militants, drug smuggling and other illegal activities.
Iraqi commanders on Monday toured the remote desert frontier controlled by various different forces, including the Iraqi military, Iran-aligned militias, the Syrian army, anti-Damascus rebels, and U.S.-backed Kurdish forces.
The border is a flashpont for tension between Iran-backed groups and the United States, and is also tense because of Islamic State incursions and Turkish pressure on Kurdish rebel groups.
At an outpost facing into Syria, Lieutenant-General Abdul Amir al-Shammari said the Iraqi side was under the control of state forces and was being more tightly secured, but that the main challenges came from inside Syria.
"One of the biggest challenges is there's no one single or unified security partner on the Syrian side," he said.
"In this area, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are across the border - whom we coordinate with via the (U.S.) coalition," he said, referring to U.S.-backed, Kurdish-dominated paramilitaries battling Islamic State remnants and also opposed to Turkey.
"Further south, there's the Syrian army, and in some areas beyond that, control by Syrian opposition groups," Shammari said.
Iraq was stepping up use of high-tech thermal cameras and observation balloons, he said.
Reuters reporters touring the border by air with the military saw diggers making deeper trenches along large sections of the Iraqi side of the frontier, which is sparsely peppered with border guard towers, earth berms and metal fences.
Shammari said some families of IS fighters had recently been detained after crossing from Al-Hol, a displacement camp on the Syrian side housing tens of thousands of people who fled IS's final enclaves.
Officials worry Al-Hol is a breeding ground for extremism and fear the return of thousands of Iraqis with ties to IS.
The border has recently also seen Israeli air strikes against Iranian-linked targets including Revolutionary Guards commanders as Israel increases pressure on allies of Iran and of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The Iraqi military is in the difficult position of coordinating with state paramilitaries that include the Iran-aligned groups which are facing off with Israel and the United States and transfer weapons and personnel across the frontier.
Iraq also navigates a growing relationship with Turkey which wants Baghdad to help clamp down on activities of the Kurdish PKK insurgent group, which has bases in northern Iraq and allies in the SDF. (Reporting by John Davison, Editing by Timothy Heritage)

Duisburg Die Sprachwissenschaften an der Uni Duisburg-Essen hat Karl-Dieter Bünting in 32 Jahren geprägt. Nun ist er im Alter von 81 Jahren verstorben.
Die Universität Duisburg-Essen (UDE) trauert um Karl-Dieter Bünting. Wie erst nun bekannt wurde, verstarb er am 14. Dezember im Alter von 81 Jahren. Der Professor für die Linguistik der deutschen Sprache war ein Urgestein der Universität Duisburg-Essen (UDE), an der er 32 Jahre wirkte. Auch nach seiner Emeritierung 2004 unterrichtete er weiter und engagierte sich in der interkulturellen Verständigung.
Dekan des Fachbereichs Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaften der UDE
„Als Innovator und Organisator hat er das Profil der Essener Sprachwissenschaften geprägt wie kaum ein anderer“, heißt es aus der Fakultät für Geisteswissenschaften.1939 in Witzenhausen/Werra geboren, hatte Karl-Dieter Bünting Germanistik, Anglistik und Philosophie in Marburg, Wien, Göttingen, Bonn und in Maine (USA) studiert. Nach der Promotion (1968, Bonn) und Habilitation (1971, TU Berlin) wurde Bünting 1972 an die Gesamthochschule Essen berufen. Er war Mitglied des Gründungssenats, Prorektor für Studium und Lehre und Dekan des Fachbereichs Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaften und trug maßgeblich zum Auf- und Ausbau seiner Uni bei.
Sprachförderunterricht für Migrantenkinder eingerichtet
So initiierte der Linguist Studiengänge wie Kommunikationswissenschaft, Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache oder Turkistik. Er richtete 1974 den Sprachförderunterricht für Migrantenkinder ein – bis heute ein Vorzeigeprojekt der UDE. Auf ihn geht auch die Schreibwerkstatt zurück. Außerdem installierte er ein Sprachtelefon für Bürger und lehrte an der Journalistenschule Ruhr.
Professor Bünting lebte Weltoffenheit und verstand sich als Botschafter der interkulturellen Verständigung. Er legte den Grundstein für Partnerschaften mit Universitäten in Ägypten, Afghanistan, China, Russland und Polen und regte die internationalen Sommerkurse an, die es bis heute gibt. Hier hatte er auch nach seiner Emeritierung noch unterrichtet.
Engagement für die Internationalisierung der Hochschule
Sein Engagement für die Internationalisierung brachte ihm verschiedene Auszeichnungen ein. Unter anderem war er Ehrendoktor der Universität Kaliningrad, Ehrenprofessor der Beijing International Studies University sowie der Universität für Bergbau und Technologie in Xuzhou (beide China).

Duisburg-Homberg. Tobias Iserhot war selbst an Leukämie erkrankt. Jetzt sucht er für eine Fotoreihe Menschen, die ihre Krebserkrankung überstanden haben.
Zurzeit muss Tobias Iserhot wieder etwas kürzer treten. Er hat sich das Handgelenk gebrochen, ein Unfall. Beim Mountainbiken ist das passiert, irgendwas Wildes über Stock und Stein, ein Männer-Ding. Der 38-Jährige muss grinsen. Nicht, weil er seinen Sturz über den Lenker besonders lustig gefunden hätte. Im Gegenteil, war schmerzhaft. Sondern, weil er exemplarisch für das steht, was Iserhot derzeit genießt: wieder mitten im Leben zu stehen, mit allen Erfahrungen, mit allen Sinnen.

Dieses gute Gefühl ist es, das er weitergeben möchte, um Anderen Mut zu machen. Für ein Fotoprojekt sucht der ehemalige Krebspatient Menschen, die ihre Erkrankung überstanden haben. Willkommen ist jeder, vom Kind bis zum Greis. Der Lebenswille zählt.
Duisburger Tobias Iserhot: Diagnose Leukämie
Denn Iserhot kennt auch die anderen, die richtig schlechten Zeiten. Er war nicht mal Mitte 30, als er die Diagnose Leukämie bekam. Der Homberger hat über seine Krankheit auch in dieser Zeitung öffentlich gesprochen. Das möchte er nicht wiederholen. Nur so viel. Er hatte Glück. Er hatte Vertraute, hatte seine Freundin. Und er ließ sich nicht unterkriegen. 2016 erhielt er die rettende Stammzellentransplantation. In diesem Jahr im November ist das fünf Jahre her. Ein privater Jahrestag. Und Anlass für sein Fotoprojekt.
Der Weg dorthin verlief nicht ohne Rückschläge, wie er offen erzählt. Kaum halbwegs über den Berg, bekam er starke Gleichgewichtsstörungen. Nach langem Hin und Her diagnostizierten die Ärzte das Opsoklonus-Myoklonus-Syndrom, eine seltene Nervenkrankheit, die mit einem starken Zittern einhergeht. Doch auch da hat er sich herausgekämpft, buchstäblich Schritt für Schritt.
Duisburg: Ehemaliger Krebspatient möchte Freude teilen
Inzwischen fühlt sich der Homberger wieder kerngesund. Er hat Gewicht zugelegt, treibt regelmäßig Sport - also normalerweise. Aktuell macht er noch Reha wegen seiner Hand, ist aber fest entschlossen, so bald wie möglich wieder aufs Rad zu steigen. „Ich bin tatsächlich ein bisschen stolz, dass ich mir etwas gebrochen habe“, gesteht er. Frisch und fröhlich fühle er sich. „Und das möchte ich mit anderen Menschen teilen. Ich bin ein gutes Beispiel dafür, dass es auch gut laufen kann.“
Luna sitzt ganz nah bei ihm. Luna ist vier und ein Podenco, ein Jagdhund. Entsprechend sportlich ist die Kleine aufgelegt. Tobias und sie sind dicke Freunde. Luna kam als junger Hund zu ihm und zwang ihn bereits während der Krankheit, regelmäßig an die Luft zu gehen, erinnert sich Tobias. „Und das war richtig gut.“
Vom Laien zum ehrgeizigen Hobby-Künstler
Zu dieser Zeit hat er auch angefangen zu fotografieren, vielleicht begonnen, die Welt mit anderen, offeneren Augen zu sehen. Zunächst überließ ihm sein Vater seine alte Kamera. Es folgten „10 000 Bilder vom Hund“ und die frohe Erkenntnis: „Ich kann das ja ganz gut!“ Mittlerweile sind die Fotoapparate professioneller geworden, und aus dem Laien wurde ein ehrgeiziger Hobby-Künstler samt Studio, Equipment und Leidenschaft für die, so sagt Iserhot, „People-Fotografie“.
Und um die geht es jetzt. Geplant ist eine Reihe mit und über Menschen, gern vom Leben gezeichnet, die zeigen, dass es für sie trotz Krebs-Diagnose weitergegangen ist und dass sie wieder im Leben stehen. Eine Ausstellung wäre natürlich eine Supersache, vorausgesetzt, es fände sich ein geeigneter Raum. Ein Buch wäre eine Idee. Aber auch, wenn das alles nicht klappt, wird Iserhot sein Kunstprojekt im Internet zeigen.
Duisburger freut sich über viele Rückmeldungen
Einige Modelle konnte er bereits gewinnen, darunter ein Mädchen, das einen Hirntumor überstanden hat. Iserhot schweben Porträts vor, aber auch Szenen, etwa spielende Kinder oder der wieder genesene Handwerker beim Job - Paare, die ganz selbstverständlich miteinander umgehen. Augenblicke, heilender Alltag. Ihm selbst kommt dabei das gemeinsame Kochen mit seiner damaligen Freundin in den Sinn, das ihm so gut getan hat, als er auf dem Weg der Besserung war.
Iserhot freut sich über jede Rückmeldung. Für ihn ist es ein „Herzensprojekt“. Er kann nur jedem raten, den Kopf mit aller Kraft über Wasser zu halten. Die Diagnose Krebs ist furchtbar, aber sie muss nicht endgültig sein. Es gibt es, das Leben danach. „Man muss kämpfen und darf nicht aufgeben“, sagt Iserhot. Für ihn nicht zuletzt auch ein Impuls in diesen trostlosen Corona-Zeiten: „Es geht auch wieder voran.“ Er selbst denkt aktuell über 2022 nach. Da steht eine Alpen-Cross-Tour mit dem Mountainbike auf dem Programm. Aber dieses Mal will er dann doch ein bisschen vorsichtiger fahren.

Uganda accuses U.S. envoy of subversion for trying to visit candidate

KAMPALA, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Uganda accused the U.S. ambassador on Tuesday of seeking to subvert last week's presidential election by trying to visit the main opposition candidate at his home, which has been surrounded by security forces since the vote.
Troops prevented pop star-turned-legislator Bobi Wine from leaving his house shortly after he returned from voting in Thursday's presidential election, in which he ran against incumbent Yoweri Museveni.
Museveni, 76, who has been in power since 1986, was declared winner of the poll with 59% of the vote against 35% for Wine, who became famous after years of singing about government corruption and nepotism, charges the government denies.
The U.S. embassy said late on Monday that Ambassador Natalie E. Brown had been stopped from visiting Wine, who it referred to by his real name, Robert Kyagulanyi, at his residence in a suburb in the northern outskirts of the capital.
The mission said Brown wanted to check on his health and safety given that he was effectively unable to leave his home.
Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said Brown had no business visiting Wine, who the army says is being held to prevent potential unrest breaking out in the wake of the result.
"What she has been trying to do blatantly is to meddle in Uganda's internal politics, particularly elections, to subvert our elections and the will of the people," he said. "She shouldn't do anything outside the diplomatic norms."
There was no immediate comment from Brown or the embassy.
The public rebuke to the United States from the Ugandan government is relatively unusual as the two nations are allies.
Washington supports Ugandan soldiers serving in an African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia and has donated about $1.5 billion to Uganda's health sector in the past three years.
GOVERNMENT "WATCHING" AMBASSADOR
Opondo said, without providing any evidence, that Brown had a track record of causing trouble in countries where she has worked in the past. The government was watching her, he said.
The U.S. embassy has said last week's vote was tainted by harassment of opposition candidates, suppression of media and rights advocates and a nationwide internet shutdown.
"These unlawful actions and the effective house arrest of a presidential candidate continue a worrying trend on the course of Uganda's democracy," it said in the statement on Monday.
The United States and the European Union did not deploy observer missions for the polls. Washington said Ugandan authorities had denied accreditation while Brussels said they had not implemented the recommendations of previous missions.
On Tuesday, Wine's lawyers filed a petition in the high court challenging the legality of detaining Wine and his wife without charge. The court has not yet said when the petition will be heard, lawyer Benjamin Katana told Reuters.
During the campaign, security forces routinely broke up Wine's rallies with teargas, bullets, beatings and detentions, citing violations of laws meant to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
In November, 54 people were killed as security forces quelled a protest that erupted after Wine was detained for alleged violation of the anti-coronavirus measures.
Wine and his National Unity Platform (NUP) have rejected the results and said they were planning a court challenge.
On Monday, security forces cordoned off the party's offices in the capital. The party said that was aimed at complicating their efforts to collect evidence of irregularities committed during the election.

Mass arrests in Russia Navalny protests

Russian police have arrested more than 2600 people in nationwide protests demanding the release of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, the Kremlin's most prominent foe, according to a group that counts political detentions.
The protests on Saturday in scores of cities in temperatures as low as minus 50C highlighted how Navalny has built influence far beyond the political and cultural centres of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
In Moscow, an estimated 15,000 demonstrators gathered in and around Pushkin Square in the city centre, where clashes with police broke out and demonstrators were roughly dragged off by helmeted riot officers to police buses and detention trucks. Some were beaten with batons.
Navalny's wife Yulia was among those arrested.
Police eventually pushed demonstrators out of the square. Thousands then regrouped along a wide boulevard about a kilometre away, many of them throwing snowballs at the police before dispersing.
Some later went to protest near the jail where Navalny is held. Police made an undetermined number of arrests there.
The protests stretched across Russia's vast territory, from the island city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk north of Japan and the eastern Siberian city of Yakutsk, to Russia's more populous European cities. Navalny and his anti-corruption campaign have built an extensive network of support despite official government repression and being routinely ignored by state media.
"The situation is getting worse and worse, it's total lawlessness," said Andrei Gorkyov, a protester in Moscow. "And if we stay silent, it will go on forever."
The OVD-Info group, which monitors political arrests, said at least 1045 people were detained in Moscow and more than 375 at another large demonstration in St. Petersburg.
Overall, it said 2662 people had been arrested in some 90 cities, revising the count downward from its earlier report of 3445.
Navalny was arrested on January 17 when he returned to Moscow from Germany, where he had spent five months recovering from a severe nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin and which Russian authorities deny.
Authorities say his stay in Germany violated terms of a suspended sentence in a 2014 criminal conviction, while Navalny says the conviction was for made-up charges.
The 44-year-old activist is well known nationally for his reports on the corruption that has flourished under President Vladimir Putin's government.
His wide support puts the Kremlin in a strategic bind - officials are apparently unwilling to back down by letting him go free, but keeping him in custody risks more protests and criticism from the West.
In a statement, the US State Department condemned "the use of harsh tactics against protesters and journalists this weekend in cities throughout Russia" and called on Russian authorities to immediately release Navalny and all those detained at protests.
Navalny faces a court hearing in early February to determine whether his sentence in the criminal case for fraud and money-laundering - which Navalny says was politically motivated - is converted to three-and-a-half years behind bars.
Navalny has been a thorn in the Kremlin's side for a decade, unusually durable in an opposition movement often demoralised by repressions.
He has been jailed repeatedly in connection with protests and twice was convicted of financial misdeeds in cases that he said were politically motivated.
He suffered significant eye damage when an assailant threw disinfectant into his face.
He was taken from jail to a hospital in 2019 with an illness that authorities said was an allergic reaction but which many suspected was a poisoning.

Turgay İPEKBedir ALTUNOK/ SARIKAMIŞ (Kars), (DHA)ENVER Paşa komutasında, 106 yıl önce düzenlenen Sarıkamış Harekatı sırasında donarak, şehit olan binlerce Mehmetçik, koronavirüs salgını nedeniyle kısıtlı katılımla gerçekleştirilen törenle anıldı. Hava sıcaklığının sıfırın altında 14 derece olduğu Kars Sarıkamış'taki törende konuşan Gençlik ve Spor Bakanı Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoğlu, "Burada can vererek şehadete yürüyen yiğitler, birer şuur abidesi olarak hüzünlü ama bir o kadar da şanlı direnişin kahramanı olmuşlardır" dedi.Sarıkamış Harekatı'nın 106'ncı yıl dönümü dolayısıyla düzenlenen anma etkinliği, ilçedeki Ayyıldız Tören Alanı'nda başladı. Sarıkamış Harekatı'na katılan askerlerin kıyafetleriyle törende yer alan, Sarıkamış 9'uncu Komando Tugay Komutanlığı'na bağlı askerler, alandaki dev Türk bayrağının altında bekledi. Gençlik ve Spor Bakanı Mehmet Muharrem Kasapoğlu ile Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanı Fatih Dönmez'in anıta çelenk sunmasıyla başlayan tören, Kur'an-ı Kerim okunmasıyla devam etti. Kazım Karabekir Kışlası 9'uncu Komando Tugayı´nda görevli Topçu Yüzbaşı Çapan Özçiftçi, 106 yıl önce gerçekleştirilen Sarıkamış Harekatı'nı anlattı. BAKAN KASAPOĞLU: MUKADDES VAZİFE OLARAK GÖRÜYORUZSarıkamış'ın tanık olduğu acıların çok büyük olduğunu belirten Gençlik ve Spor Bakanı Kasapoğlu, "Allahuekber Dağları'nın zirvesinden milletimizin sinesine bir çığ düşmüş ve orada bütün Anadolu'nun ciğeri yanmıştır. İşte o yürek yangınları onlarca yıldır nice türkülere, ağıtlara konu olmuştur. Fakat Sarıkamış; en az o acılar kadar tarih sayfalarına geçen büyük bir kahramanlığın da şahididir. Bu diyar; ağıtların olduğu kadar destanların da yurdudur. Burada can vererek şehadete yürüyen yiğitler, birer şuur abidesi olarak hüzünlü ama bir o kadar da şanlı bir direnişin kahramanı olmuşlardır. Çanakkale'yi geçilmez kılan, Kut'ül Amare'de işgalcilere karşı muzaffer olan, tarihte benzeri olmayan büyük bir İstiklal Mücadelesi vererek Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'ni inşa eden ruh; Sarıkamış'ta da kar üstüne yiğitliğin destanını yazan Mehmetçik ruhudur. Malazgirt Ovası'ndan çıkıp Anadolu'yu kucaklayan, İstanbul'u fetheden ruh; Sarıkamış'ta karlı dağlara mührünü vurmuştur. Sarıkamış'ı bizim gözümüzde ölümsüz kılan işte budur. Sarıkamış'ı, bu aziz milletin vatan sevgisini ve millet olma şuurunu en dokunaklı biçimde anlatan Sarıkamış destanını, bu ülkenin gençlerine iyi anlatmalıyız" diye konuştu. 'EMANET, TÜRKİYE'NİN GENÇLERİNİN OMZUNDA'"Biz, bakanlık olarak bu kutlu emaneti yarınlara aktarmayı bir mukaddes vazife olarak görüyoruz" diyen Bakan Kasapoğlu, şöyle devam etti: "Gençlerimizin tarihi birikimlerine katkı sağlamayı bakanlığımızın en temel vazifelerinden biri olarak kabul ediyoruz. Çünkü Sarıkamış'ı iyi okuyan bir genç; Saruhanlı'dan çıkıp Sarıkamış için mücadele etmenin ne demek olduğunu da kavrayacaktır. Filistin'den, Balkanlar'dan, Kafkaslar'dan çıkıp Çanakkale sırtlarında vatan uğruna can verenlerin verdiği büyük mücadeleyi yüreğinde hissedecektir. Bir toplum için en büyük güç geçmişin tecrübeleriyle, gelecek heyecanının birleşmesi, ortak bir şuura dönüşmesidir. Bunun için her ağustosta Dumlupınar yollarında, Malazgirt Ovası'ndayız. Bu yüzden her sene Çanakkale'de 57. Alay'ın izini sürüyoruz. Alparslan'ın duası, Osman Gazi'nin rüyası, Gazi Mustafa Kemal'in davası hep aynı kutlu emanete işaret eder, değerli dostlar. Bu emanet Türkiye'dir, Türkiye'nin milli bağımsızlığıdır. Bu emaneti dün Allahuekber Dağları'nda zorluklara göğüs gererek yürüyen Mehmet'ler omuzlamıştır. Çanakkale'de onbeşliler, 15 Temmuz'da Ömer Halisdemir´ler omuzlamıştır. Bu emanet, bugün insanlığın umudu olan Türkiye'nin gençlerinin omzundadır, bizim omuzlarımızdadır. Biz Türkiye'yi aydınlık bir istikbale taşımak için var gücümüzle çalışırken, milli bağımsızlık emanetini aynı şuurla taşıyan gençlerimizin heyecanından, enerjisinden ilham alıyoruz."AZERBAYCAN'A SELAM GÖNDERDİPandemi süresince yapılanları da anlatan Bakan Kasapoğlu, ülkeler birbirlerinden maske kaçırırken, ay yıldızlı uçakların ihtiyacı olan bölgelere yardım götürdüğünü söyledi. Kasapoğlu, yükseköğrenimdeki öğrenciler için hizmet veren bakanlığa bağlı yurtların pandemi boyunca millete sığınacak liman olduğunu dile getirdi. Ertelenen spor organizasyonları ile evlerinde kalan sporcuların, organizasyonların başlamasıyla destanlar yazdığını kaydeden Kasapoğlu, dünyanın dört bir yanından art arda şampiyonluk, madalya, rekor haberleri geldiğini söyledi.Bakan Kasapoğlu, konuşmasında Azerbaycan'a da selam göndererek, "Buradan bir selam da can Azerbaycan'a. Türkiye'nin çelikten bir iradeyle kardeş Azerbaycan'ın yanında durduğu Karabağ Harekatı; Sarıkamış Harekatı'yla başlayan destanın son satırlarını yazıp çizgiyi çekmiştir. Başta Sayın Cumhurbaşkanı'mız Recep Tayyip Erdoğan olmak üzere bu zaferde pay sahibi olan herkes, Sarıkamış şehitlerinin ruhlarını şad etmiştir" dedi. BAKAN DÖNMEZ: BİR MİLLETİN YÜREĞİ BUZ TUTTUTörende konuşan Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanı Dönmez ise Sarıkamış'ta sadece yüz binlerce askerin değil bir milletin yüreğinin buz tuttuğunu söyledi. Büyük bir imparatorluğun evlatlarının vatan ve millet sevgisiyle gözlerini kırpmadan şehadete yürüdüğünü kaydeden Bakan Dönmez, "Sarıkamış'taki ruh, İstiklal Mücadelemize de ruhunu üfledi. Sarıkamış şehitlerimizin kardeşliği, fedakarlığı, vatanseverliği bizlere en büyük mirastır. Burada yan yana yatan şehitlerimiz göklerdeki ezanlarımızın, gönderdeki bayrağımızın bir asır önceki şahididir. Anadolu'yu Türk-İslam diyarı yapan atalarımızın kutlu neslidir. Sarıkamış, Malazgirt'ten bugüne uzanan bu topraklardaki varlığımızın en acı hatırası. Buranın soğuğuna değil aylarca bir gece dayanmak bile gerçekten mümkün değil. 106 yıl önce en zor zamanda, sahra kıyafetleriyle bu dağları aşmaya çalışmak ancak Peygamber Ocağı'nın kutlu varisi Mehmetçiğin gösterebileceği bir cesaretti. Biz onlardan razıyız. Cenab-ı Hak da onlardan razı olsun inşallah. Allahuekber Dağları şehadete 'allahu ekber' nidalarıyla giden aziz şehitlerimizin nidalarıyla çınlıyor hala. Burada bu havayı teneffüs edince o gün burada çekilen eziyetleri, çileleri daha iyi anlıyor, daha yoğun hissediyor insan. Burası tıpkı Çanakkale gibi tıpkı Dumlupınar gibi tıpkı Kut'ül Amare gibi her bir karışında büyük bir destanın yazıldığı topraklar. Bunu iyi anlamamız ve çocuklarımıza iyi anlatmamız gerekiyor. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin bugünlere gelene kadar hangi zorluklardan geçtiğini, hangi badireleri anlattığını sadece tarih kitaplarından okuyarak değil, buralara gelerek yerinde görmeleri, bu ruhu hissetmeleri gerekiyor" diye konuştu. 'ŞEHİTLERİMİZİN KANLARIYLA VARLIĞIMIZI MÜHÜRLEDİK'"Bizlerin bugün canımız pahasına sahip çıktığı tek millet, tek bayrak, tek vatan, tek devlet şiarı bu topraklarda yatan şehitlerimizin bizlere bıraktığı kardeşlik mirasıdır" diyen Bakan Dönmez, şöyle devam etti:"Ecdadımızın millet olma şuuruna gözümüz gibi sahip çıkacağız. Bizleri bölmek, aramıza nifak sokmak, kardeşi kardeşe düşman etmek isteyen dahili ve harici mihraklar şunu iyi bilmelidir ki biz 1000 yıldır bu toprakları omuz omuza, can cana, yan yana koruduk. Şehitlerimizin aziz kanlarıyla bu topraklardaki varlığımızı mühürledik. Şühedanın izinde bizler de bu vatan uğruna ne gerekiyorsa gözümüzü kırpmadan yapmaya hazırız. Rabb'im şehitlerimizin şefaatlerinden bizleri mahrum etmesin. Onların yürüdüğü bu yollarda bizlere de aynı istikamet üzere olmayı nasip eylesin. Bu yıl salgın tedbirleri nedeniyle kısıtlı bir katılım oldu ancak şunu biliyoruz ki 83 milyonun kalbi bugün burada atıyor. Buraya gelemeyen milyonlarca vatandaşımızın elleri bugün semaya Sarıkamış şehitlerimiz için kalkıyor. Buraya gelen, salavatlar ve dualarla yürüyüşümüze ortak olan, dualarıyla bizlere Türkiye'nin dört bir yanından eşlik eden herkesten Allah razı olsun."Konuşmalardan sonra törene katılanlar, Sarıkamış Şehitleri'ni anma yürüyüşüne başladı.

Isselburg Eingeschränkter Pandemie-Betrieb: Stadt Isselburg stoppt Elternbeiträge für die offene Ganztagsschule und verlässliche Halbtagsschule.

Isselburg Eingeschränkter Pandemie-Betrieb: Stadt Isselburg stoppt Elternbeiträge für die offene Ganztagsschule und verlässliche Halbtagsschule.
Seit Mitte Dezember gilt erneut auch in den Grundschulen der eingeschränkte Pandemie-Betrieb. Bund und Länder haben die Verlängerung der Lockdown-Maßnahmen zunächst bis 31. Januar beschlossen. Derzeit wird an den Grundschulen der Präsenzunterricht durch Distanzunterricht ersetzt. Alle Eltern sind aufgerufen, ihre Kinder – soweit möglich – zuhause zu betreuen, um so einen Beitrag zur Kontaktbeschränkung zu leisten.
Die Grundschulen der Stadt Isselburg bieten jedoch ein Betreuungsangebot für diejenigen Schülerinnen und Schüler an, die beim Distanzunterricht im häuslichen Umfeld ohne Betreuung Probleme bekämen, die Erledigung ihrer Aufgaben in der Schule unter Aufsicht zu ermöglichen. Demnach nehmen viele Eltern das reguläre Angebot der außerunterrichtlichen Betreuungsangebote an den städtischen Grundschulen derzeit nicht wahr.
Abbuchungen der Elternbeiträge für Januar gestoppt
Durch die Corona-Pandemie erleben die Menschen in vielen Bereichen massive Einschränkungen und sind häufig auch in ihrer persönlichen Einkommenssituation betroffen. Der Rat der Stadt Isselburg hat bereits im April 2020 beschlossen, dass die Stadt Isselburg die Erhebung der Elternbeiträge in dieser Situation aussetzt, soweit das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen die Hälfte der ausgefallenen Elternbeiträge erstattet.
++++In unserem lokalen Newsletter berichten wir jeden Abend aus Emmerich, Rees und Isselburg. Den E-Mail-Newsletter können Sie hier kostenlos bestellen.++++
Das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen hat bereits die Absicht geäußert, den Kommunen die Hälfte der Einnahmeausfälle zu erstatten. Von daher hat die Stadt Isselburg die Abbuchung der Elternbeiträge für die offene Ganztagsschule und verlässliche Halbtagsschule für den Monat Januar gestoppt. Eltern, die per Dauerauftrag oder Einzelüberweisung den Beitrag überwiesen haben, bekommen diesen erstattet, sobald das Land Nordrhein-Westfalen die Übernahme der Hälfte der Einnahmeausfälle bestätigt hat.
Eltern erhalten schriftlichen Bescheid
Die Eltern erhalten dann von der Stadt Isselburg einen schriftlichen Bescheid über die Aussetzung der Beitragserhebung für den Monat Januar. Über weitere Entwicklungen informiert die Stadt Isselburg unter www.isselburg.de.

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Bank of America Corp posted a drop in fourth-quarter profit on Tuesday as historically low interest rates hurt its consumer banking business.
Net income applicable to common shareholders fell to $5.21 billion, or 59 cents per share, for the quarter ended Dec. 31 from $6.75 billion, or 74 cents per share, a year earlier.
Analysts on average had expected a profit of 55 cents per share, according to the IBES estimate from Refinitiv. (Reporting by Noor Zainab Hussain in Bengaluru and Imani Moise in New York; Editing by Anil D'Silva)

Emmerich/rees In Rees gab es 2020 weniger Hochzeiten als in den vergangenen fünf Jahren. In Emmerich sagten ebenfalls weniger Menschen Ja zueinander.
Es ist ein Ereignis von dem viele lange träumen und das mindestens eben solange auch vorbereitet wird: die eigene Hochzeit. Im Coronajahr 2020 war es allerdings ein wenig schwieriger "Ja" zueinander zu sagen.
Die Anzahl der Gäste war bisweilen begrenzt, das Feiern fiel auch zu manchen Zeiten flach und auch einige Trau-Locations standen nicht zur Verfügung. So kam es, dass 2020 einige ihre Hochzeit in Emmerich und Rees gar ausfallen ließen oder verlegten.
[In unserem lokalen Newsletter berichten wir jeden Abend aus Emmerich, Rees und Isselburg. Den E-Mail-Newsletter können Sie hier kostenlos bestellen.]
Nur 81 Eheschließungen in Rees
So wurde in Rees zum Beispiel 2020 so wenig geheiratet, wie in den vergangen fünf Jahren nicht. Insgesamt 89 Eheschließungen waren 2020 geplant. Durchgeführt, so teilt der Reeser Stadtsprecher auf Nachfrage der NRZ mit, wurden nur 81.
Ein sicher auch coronabedingt schwaches Jahr was das Heiraten angeht. Denn 2019 gaben sich in Rees immerhin 98 Paare das Ja-Wort, 2018 waren es 104 und 2017 102 Eheschließungen. Im Jahr 2016 waren es auch immerhin 96.
Trauorte in Rees fielen weg
Dass es weniger Hochzeiten gab, führt Franken auch darauf zurück, dass eben die Trau-Orte Altes Amtsgericht und die Kasematten nicht zur Verfügung standen. In den Kasematten sei es einfach zu eng und das Alte Amtsgericht sei eben auch durch Menschen aus der Risikogruppe bewohnt. Ergo blieben noch das Schiff Stadt Rees als Trauort und auch das Trauzimmer im Rathaus Rees. "Das auch aufgewertet wurde und daher nun auch immer mehr gebucht wird", so Franken.
So auch vielleicht wieder mehr in diesem Jahr. "Für das neue Jahr 2021 haben wir schon viele Anfragen und haben Termine für Trauungen vereinbart. Die Kolleginnen im Standesamt haben den Eindruck, dass sich die Menschen nicht von ihren Hochzeitsplänen abhalten lassen", so Franken.
119 Paare sagten in Emmerich Ja zueinander
Einen wirklich signifikanten Rückgang an Eheschließungen in Emmerich wegen Corona könne man nicht ausmachen, teilt der Emmericher Stadtsprecher Tim Terhorst mit. In der Hansestadt sagten 119 Paare standesamtlich "Ja" zueinander. Im Jahr 2019 waren es insgesamt 134, 2018 waren es 125. 2020, so Tehorst, hätten sechs Paare ihre eigentlich geplante Trauung verschoben oder abgesagt. Meistens sei ein neuer Termin vereinbart worden.
Und so ist der Hochzeits-Wille auch weiterhin ungebrochen. "Es werden nach wie vor mit den Paaren Termine vereinbart", sagt Terhorst. Momentan wird - so wie sonst auch in diesem Monaten - weniger geheiratet. "Aber die beliebten Termine sind auch jetzt schon nahezu vergeben", erklärt der Stadtsprecher.
Freude über einen neuen Trauort
Dieser kann sogar für das Hochzeits-Jahr 2021 schon eine schöne Ankündigung machen. "Denn wir bekommen einen neuen Trauort". Erstmals besteht im Mai 2021 die Möglichkeit, im neu gestalteten Garten von Gut Falkenstein unter freiem Himmel zu heiraten. Bislang konnte hier nur im Gut Falkenstein geheiratet werden.
So können Interessierte nun nicht mehr nur im Trauzimmer im Rathaus, sondern nun auch an Sonderterminen sich auf Gut Falkenstein (im Ortsteil Hüthum) oder in der historischen Mühle im Ortsteil Elten trauen lassen. Als eben auch ab Mai im Garten von Gut Falkenstein.
Die Sondertermine für Trauung und welche davon noch frei sind, sind übrigens online auf der Internetseite der Stadt Emmerich (www.emmerich.de) unter Dienstleistungen/Eheschließungen einsehbar.
In der Stadt Goch merkt man sehr wohl einen deutlichen Rückgang der Hochzeiten im Pandemiejahr. Waren es 2019 noch 158 Trauungen, ging die Zahl im vergangenen Jahr auf 128 zurück. Also 30 Trauungen weniger. In Goch kann man auf dem Standesamt, auf Kloster Graefenthal oder im Haus am See sich das Ja-Wort geben.
Deutlich weniger Hochzeiten auch in Kleve
In Kleve ergibt sich ein ähnliches Bild: 2020 waren es insgesamt 213 Eheschließungen, im Jahr zuvor gab es noch 248 und 2018 wurden 239 Hochzeiten verbucht.
Das Feiern war 2020 auch durchaus Kurios. So gab es in Kleve eine Hochzeit, die von SPD-Ratsherrin Monika Overkamp mit organisiert wurde, die als Rallye veranstaltet wurde. Um die Kontaktbeschränkungen zu gewährleisten, musste das Hochzeitspaar jeweils zu den Familienangehörigen fahren und dort lustige Aufgaben erfüllen.

Essen-Holsterhausen. Die Cranachschule in Essen-Holsterhausen platzt aus allen Nähten. Für den Ausbau ist aber zunächst einmal ein Abriss von Gebäuden erforderlich.
Die Abrissarbeiten an der Cranachschule haben begonnen. Mit dem Abbruch von Pausenraum und Toilettenanlage startet eine Rundumerneuerung der Holsterhauser Grundschule.
Stadt Essen will mit Erweiterung den steigenden Schülerzahlen Rechnung tragen
Leichter Qualm steigt auf, als an diesem Morgen die Arme des Baggers Dachlatten greifen und eine nach der anderen entfernen. Das Holz kommt sofort in große Container. Anschließend geht der Abbruch weiter, jetzt müssen Metallpfeiler weichen. Die alte Pausenhalle der Cranachschule ist bald Geschichte und das gilt auch für die Räume, die bis vor kurzem noch dem Offenen Ganztag dienten.
Abriss und Neubau sind Teil eines großzügigen Umbaus. Mit dem will die Stadt den wachsenden Schülerzahlen Rechnung tragen. War die Cranachschule lange Zeit dreizügig, ist sie jetzt nahezu komplett vierzügig. Damit droht sie aus allen Nähten zu platzen. Der Trakt, der nun dem Erdboden gleich gemacht wird, wird durch ein Gebäude ersetzt, in dem eine Mensa untergebracht sein wird, die unter anderem die Schüler des offenen Ganztags nutzen können. Darüber hinaus entsteht auch eine neue Toilettenanlage.
Damit die Schule aber während der Bauphase nicht ohne WC dasteht, hat die Stadt derzeit eine Sanitäranlage gemietet und die Container auf dem Schulhof aufstellen lassen. Wenn das Gebäude fertig ist – im Herbst soll es soweit sein – besteht eine direkte Verbindung zwischen dem alten und dem neuen Trakt der Cranachschule.
Voraussichtlich soll ab dem Sommer der Altbau umfassend saniert werden
Als nächster Schritt ist die Sanierung des Altbaus vorgesehen, die Arbeiten werden voraussichtlich im September starten. Hier haben die Handwerker eine lange Auftragsliste abzuarbeiten. Böden, Decken und Dachflächen müssen dringend erneuert werden, hat eine Sichtung des Baubestandes ergeben. Nach jetzigem Stand rechnet die Verwaltung damit, dass gut ein Jahr ins Land gehen wird, bis das Gebäude auf den neuesten Stand gebracht worden ist. Voraussichtlich wird das Projekt bis zum Beginn des Schuljahres 2022/23 abgeschlossen sein.

Erheblicher Kostensprung: Vorhaben verschlingt rund 2,5 Millionen Euro
Derweil nun die Gebäude flott gemacht werden, wird auch der Grünstreifen neben der Cranachschule in Richtung Cranachhöfe herausgeputzt. Hier entstehen auf Dauer sowohl ein Schulgarten als auch ein Spielgelände. Erste Geräte sind schon aufgebaut, doch längst noch nicht freigegeben. Anschließend will sich die Grundstücksverwaltung der Stadt (GVE) um den Garten kümmern. Das gesamte Areal, das immerhin eine Fläche von 1000 Quadratmetern misst, ist derzeit noch abgezäunt, unter anderem auch, damit sich keine Unbefugten Zutritt verschaffen. Für die Baustelle wird eine eigene Zufahrt eingerichtet, sie muss somit nicht über den Schulhof erfolgen.
Die Kosten für das gesamte Vorhaben sind im Laufe der Zeit immer weiter gestiegen. Hatte es zunächst im Jahr 2019 geheißen, der Ausbau lasse sich mit rund einer Million Euro bewerkstelligen, geht die Stadt inzwischen von 2,5 Millionen Euro aus. Die Ursache für den erheblichen Kostensprung liegt laut Verwaltung darin, dass die Pläne noch weiter verfeinert und verbessert wurden, um das Gebäude modernen Standards anzupassen.

Halliburton profit beats estimates on cost cuts, demand recovery

Jan 19 (Reuters) - Halliburton Co posted a better-than-expected fourth-quarter profit on Tuesday, buoyed by cost cuts and a recovery in demand for oilfield equipment and services after last year's industry slump.
The company, the industry's second-biggest services provider, has slashed its quarterly dividend, cut its capital spending, and reduced its workforce and executive pay to cope with the decline in demand as its clients, oil and gas producers, tightened their belts and cut drilling activity.
While global crude price ticked up in the last three months of 2020 to average about $45 per barrel, service companies have been forced to provide steep discounts.
"I am optimistic about the activity momentum I see in North America, and expect international activity to bottom in the first quarter of this year," Halliburton Chief Executive Officer Jeff Miller said.
The company's revenue from North America rose 26% in the quarter to $1.24 billion, while international revenue grow 0.4%.
Halliburton, which kicked off fourth-quarter earnings for service companies, said total revenue rose 8.8% to $3.24 billion from the third quarter, slightly above analysts' estimates of $3.21 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
Adjusted net income attributable to company rose 60% to $160 million, or 18 cents per share, in the three months ended Dec. 31, from the third quarter. That beat analysts' average estimate for a profit of 15 cents per share.
The company's fourth-quarter results included a $446 million pretax charge related to its North American real estate assets.
However, its profit was down 43.9% and revenue fell 37.6% from a year earlier as activity levels were still well below last year's.
Halliburton shares, which lost about 23% of their value in 2020, were up 2.4% at $21.24 in premarket trading. (Reporting by Arathy S Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Maju Samuel)

İçişleri Bakanlığı’nca korona virüs salgınının önlenmesine yönelik hafta sonları uygulanan sokağa çıkma kısıtlaması ve filyasyon ekiplerinin özverili çalışmaları neticesinde Covid19 salgınıyla mücadele eden Doğanyurt Kaymakamlığı, vakaların sıfıra indiğini açıkladı. Doğanyurt Kaymakamlığından yapılan açıklamada şu ifadelere yer verildi: “İlçemizde bugün itibariyle Kovid19 pozitif vaka sayısı “0” dır. Bu süreçte başta sağlık çalışanlarımız olmak üzere, emniyet, jandarma personellerimize ve bugüne kadar ilan ettiğimiz bütün kurallara harfiyen uyan siz değerli hemşehrilerimize çok teşekkür ediyoruz.

Pozitif vakanın çıktığı ilk gün sağlık çalışanlarımızın o köyde, o mahallede hangi vaka var ise o köyde bulunan hangi arkadaşımız var ise onları devreye alarak, birlikte takip ederek hastalık seyrinin yayılmasını engellemek amacıyla yapmış oldukları faaliyetlerde bizleri vakaların sıfırlanmasına kadar ulaştırdı. Ben, bütün emeği geçen arkadaşlarıma teşekkür ediyorum. En önemlisi ise bilinçlenmiş olarak bizlere destek olan hemşehrilerime teşekkür ediyorum. Bugünden itibaren hiçbir şey bitmiş değil. Aynı azim ve kararlılıkla bu hastalığın seyrinin yayılmasını engellemek ve tekrar ilçemizde görülmesini engellemek adına aynı azim ve kararlılıkla çalışmaya devam edeceğiz.

Essen. Die bundesweite Verteilung von FFP2-Masken in 2021 stockt. Den Kunden schlägt das so langsam aufs Gemüt, berichtet ein Essener Apotheker.

Essen. Die bundesweite Verteilung von FFP2-Masken in 2021 stockt. Den Kunden schlägt das so langsam aufs Gemüt, berichtet ein Essener Apotheker.
Nach den ersten drei kostenlosen FFP2-Masken im Dezember, haben Menschen über 60 Jahren sowie Risikogruppen Anspruch auf weitere sechs. Doch die Ausgabe ist ins Stocken geraten. Anders als bei der ersten Verteilungsrunde sind die Masken in Apotheken nur mit einem Gutschein, einem sogenannten Voucher, zu bekommen. Diese haben aber noch nicht den Weg in die Briefkästen der Betroffenen gefunden.
“Wir haben noch keinen einzigen Voucher gesehen”, sagt Andreas Bessenbach, Inhaber der Hirsch-Apotheke, der die vom Bund finanzierten Masken gerne ausgeben würde. Das Team der Apotheke am Limbecker Platz in Essen dürfte großes Interesse daran haben, dass es nun endlich losgeht. Denn die ins Stocken geratene Verteilung der FFP2-Masken schlägt einigen Kunden so langsam aber sicher aufs Gemüt.
[In unserem lokalen Newsletter berichten wir jeden Abend aus Essen. Den Essen-Newsletter können Sie hier kostenlos bestellen.]
“Das ist eine Unverschämtheit! Warum bekommen wir die Masken nicht?”
“Der typische Ruhrgebietler wird dann auch schon mal lauter”, sagt Bessenbach am Montag. “Das ist eine Unverschämtheit! Warum bekommen wir die Masken nicht?”, würde es dann zum Beispiel heißen. Hoffnung könnte Bessenbach und anderen Apothekern eine Information der AOK machen. Am Montag hieß es auf Nachfrage unserer Redaktion bei der Krankenkasse mit insgesamt 157.000 Versicherten in Essen. “Die erste Tranche ist eingetroffen. Die Briefe gehen im Laufe dieser Woche raus”, so Helmut Kiedrowicz, Sprecher der AOK Essen/Mülheim.
Das Vorgehen ist bei allen Krankenkassen das gleiche: Zuerst bekommen Über-75-Jährige Post. Sobald die zweite Tranche verfügbar ist, werden Gutscheine an die 70- bis 74-Jährigen sowie Risikogruppen unter 60 Jahren verschickt. Zuletzt seien die Menschen über 60 Jahren an der Reihe. Jeder Berechtigte erhält per Post zwei Gutscheine (Eigenanteil 2 Euro), jeweils gültig für sechs FFP2-Masken. Ein Gutschein kann bis Ende Februar eingelöst werden, der andere zwischen dem 16. Februar und 15. April.
Bundesweit werden 27 Millionen Voucher verschickt
Warum aber dauert die zweite FFP2-Masken-Verteilungsrunde überhaupt so lange? Die Gutscheine sollen wie beschrieben von den Krankenkassen an Betroffene per Post geschickt werden. Doch hapert es schon vorher: Zuständig für den Druck der fälschungssicheren Gutscheine ist die Bundesdruckerei. Und diese kam offenbar mit der Produktion nicht nach – deutschlandweit sind es 27 Millionen Voucher, die ursprünglich bereits Anfang des Jahres bei Betroffenen angekommen sein sollten.
Doch warum werden die sichereren FFP2-Masken nicht wie schon im Dezember ohne Gutscheine und gänzlich kostenlos angeboten? Apotheker Bessenbach stellt klar: “Das jetzige Vorgehen ist eigentlich absolut vernünftig.” Die fälschungssicheren Vouchers sollen Missbrauch und “Masken-Tourismus” verhindern.
Apotheker bewertet Vorgehen mit Gutscheinen positiv
Gerade in seiner Apotheke am Limbecker Platz gebe es viel Laufkundschaft. Bessenbach vermutet, dass sich bei der ersten FFP2-Ausgabe ab Mitte Dezember Leute mit mehr als den eigentlich vorgesehenen drei Masken eingedeckt und ein Geschäftsmodell gewittert hätten: kostenloser Einkauf, teurer Verkauf. Der Sprecher der Apotheken in Essen, Dr. Rolf-Günther Westhaus, sagte damals: "Es ist alles schwierig im Moment. Der Run auf die Masken ist groß." Deswegen waren die Masken vor einigen Wochen auch vergleichsweise teuer. Im Mittel lag der Preis bei fünf Euro. Nun, im Januar, würden die Preise bei circa drei Euro liegen, schätzt Apotheker Bessenbach.
Sorgen, dass es einen Mangel an FFP2-Masken gebe, müsste sich niemand machen. “Der Keller ist voll”, sagt Andreas Bessenbach. “Wir lagern aktuell 12.000 Masken.”

NEW DELHI, Jan 19 (Reuters) - India, one of the world's biggest drugmakers, will start exports of COVID-19 vaccines as early as Wednesday, government sources said, paving the way for many mid- and lower-income countries to secure supplies of the easy-to-store Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
The first batch of exports will be shipped to the tiny nation of Bhutan, said the officials, who asked not to be named as the plans are not public.
Two million doses of the vaccine, developed by AstraZeneca and Oxford University and manufactured by Serum Institute of India (SII), will also be despatched to Bangladesh on Thursday, said officials briefed on the plans.
SII, the world's largest maker of vaccines, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
SII last week told Reuters it soon expected emergency use authorisation from the World Health Organization (WHO) for the Oxford/AstraZeneca shot, which it has been licensed to make for dozens of low- and middle-income countries.
That would pave the way for SII to begin supplies to the WHO-backed COVAX initiative aimed at fairly distributing COVID-19 shots across the world.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, which can be stored at refrigerator temperature, is widely viewed as a more viable option for many poorer nations than shots from Pfizer and Moderna that have more onerous cold-storage requirements.
India has received requests from dozens of nations, including urgent appeals from Brazil, to begin exports of the vaccine from the SII centre in the western city of Pune.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, however, wanted to roll out the vaccination drive at home before launching exports, one of the sources said.
India began giving shots of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, as well as another developed by Bharat Biotech, to health workers on Saturday.
India plans to start exporting Bharat Biotech's vaccine at a later stage.
Another source said landlocked Bhutan would get its Oxford/AstraZeneca shots free. "We will begin from tomorrow, other neighbouring countries will follow soon," the source said.
Sri Lanka, Nepal, Myanmar and the Maldives have all made requests for early delivery of vaccines. (Reporting by Sanjeev Miglani. Editing by Euan Rocha and Mark Potter)

LONDON, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Aluminium prices slipped to their lowest in two months on Tuesday as inventories and production climbed, raising fears of larger surpluses.
Three-month aluminium on the London Metal Exchange was down 0.8% at $1,956 a tonne by 1150 GMT after touching $1,945, the weakest since Nov. 16.
"In the short term, you have those inventory rises from both markets, China and ex-China, which is capping the upside of aluminium," said Wenyu Yao, senior commodities strategist at ING Bank.
LME inventories <MALSTX-TOTAL> have jumped by 10% over the last two days to 1.41 million tonnes, while stocks in warehouses registered with the Shanghai Futures Exchange have gained 12% over the last month.
The stock gains in China were expected ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday, which kicks off in mid-February, Yao added.
China's aluminium production in 2020 rose 4.9% from the prior year to a record 37.08 million tonnes as smelters cashed in on soaring prices, with December output hitting a monthly all-time high.
Traders have been expecting LME aluminium prices to stall after they surged 44% from April last year to the highest in over two years in December.
* LME copper prices added 0.4% to $8,001 a tonne as global investors awaited an upcoming speech by U.S. Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen that could determine the tone of policy in the world's largest economy.
The speech by Yellen, President-elect Joe Biden's nominee to run the Treasury Department, will likely give an indication about the direction of the dollar, a factor affecting greenback-priced metals on the LME, and over a further stimulus programme from Washington.
* News that China reported the worst outbreak of COVID-19 since March 2020, while virus infections in other major economies remained high dampened sentiment.
* LME nickel edged up 0.1% to $18,080 a tonne, zinc lost 0.3% to $2,674, lead rose 0.3% to $2,003 and tin was barely changed at $21,240.

Jonas Hofmann ist beim 3:2-Sieg von Borussia Mönchengladbach gegen den FC Bayern München an allen drei Treffern beteiligt. Während anderer Leistungsträger der "Fohlen" mit Topklubs in Verbindung gebracht werden, findet der frischgebackene Nationalspieler nur selten Beachtung.
Als Florian Neuhaus in der 49. Minute den Ball sehenswert ins Tor der Münchner Bayern beförderte, war er natürlich der umjubelte Held bei Borussia Mönchengladbach. Neuhaus setzte den fulminanten Schlusspunkt unter eine beeindruckende Aufholjagd der Gladbacher - 3:2 nach 0:2. Der schier übermächtige FC Bayern München mal wieder von der "Fohlenelf" entzaubert.

Einer, der gehörigen Anteil am Sieg hatte, ging dabei fast ein wenig unter: Jonas Hofmann eroberte vor dem 3:2 nicht nur das Leder und gab auch die Vorlage, der 28-Jährige hatte das Comeback mit seinen ersten beiden Treffern erst ermöglicht. Siegtorschütze Neuhaus war nach der Partie zum Interview geladen und hob seinen Vorbereiter noch einmal besonders hervor: "Ich glaube, es hat jeder gesehen, wie wichtig Jonas für uns ist. Heute war ein super Spiel von ihm, aber das hat er schon öfter gezeigt. Wir wissen um seine Qualitäten und sind froh, dass er wieder fit ist."
Borussia Mönchengladbach: Hofmann-Ausfall wog schwer
Kein Wunder, denn als Hofmann verletzungsbedingt sechs Bundesliga-Partien pausieren musste, konnten seine Teamkollegen nur eine davon gewinnen. Die Gladbacher verloren den Anschluss an die Spitzengruppe. Seit Hofmann die Borussia wieder auf dem Platz antreibt, gab es drei Siege.
Im Fokus stehen in Gladbach trotzdem andere Stars: Torgarant Marcus Thuram oder Jungstar Neuhaus und Mittelfeld-Abräumer Denis Zakaria. Letztere beiden werden sogar immer wieder mit einem Wechsel zum FC Bayern in Verbindung gebracht. Hofmann, der von 2012 bis 2015 bei Borussia Dortmund spielte, gehören nur selten die Schlagzeilen.
Jonas Hofmann, der Bayern-Schreck
Dabei entwickelt sich der 28-Jährige so langsam zu einer Art Bayern-Schreck. In seinen letzten sechs Partien gegen den Rekordmeister kommt Hofmann auf zwei Tore und fünf Assists, immerhin drei davon konnte die Borussia gewinnen. Generell spielt der Dauerläufer aktuell seine wohl beste Profi-Saison: Sechs Tore und acht Assists in 14 Spielen. Jeder zweite seiner Torschüsse findet den Weg ins Netz, mit ihm ist die Torquote der Gladbacher um 40 Prozent verbessert.
Im Gegensatz zu seinen Teamkollegen Neuhaus und Zakaria gilt Hofmann als Spätzünder. In Dortmund begann er als vielversprechendes Talent, schaffte aber nie den Durchbruch. Seit seinem Neustart in Gladbach wird er von Jahr zu Jahr besser. Dass er in der breiten Öffentlichkeit so wenig Beachtung findet, hat vielleicht auch mit seinem Spielstil zu tun. Er ist kein filigraner Edeltechniker, auch keiner, der die Massen mit seiner übermenschlichen Geschwindigkeit in Staunen versetzt.
Joachim Löw belohnt Jonas Hofmann mit DFB-Debüt
Hofmann arbeitet Fußball. Er schafft Räume und Anspielstationen für seine Kollegen, indem er Wege geht, die nicht immer von der Kamera eingefangen werden. Bundestrainer Joachim Löw hat diese Qualitäten bereits erkannt und den Gladbacher bei der vergangenen Länderspielpause in die A-Nationalmannschaft berufen. Wenn Hofmann einen ähnlichen Effekt auf die Erfolge der DFB-Elf haben kann, wie auf die der "Fohlenelf", dürfte ihm bald mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu Teil werden.
Ein wichtiger Faktor für die aktuelle Topform des gebürtigen Heidelbergers ist auch Gladbach-Trainer Marco Rose. In dessen Spielsystem kommen Hofmanns Läufe in die Tiefe besonders gut zur Geltung. "Wir haben in dieser Wocher oft darüber gesprochen, warum er so wichtig für uns ist. Das hat er heute nochmal untermauert. Er ist ein wichtiger Faktor, der uns natürlich im Dezember gefehlt hat", sagte Rose nach dem Bayern-Sieg.
Einen Vorteil für die Gladbacher hätte es jedenfalls, wenn Hofmann weiter unter dem Radar fliegt. Im Vergleich zu Neuhaus, Zakaria und Thuram dürfte die Borussia deutlich bessere Karten haben, ihn noch länger am Niederrhein zu behalten.

CAIRO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Egypt's state companies have been enjoying robust earnings, official data shows, acting as a growth driver and eclipsing the private sector despite IMF-inspired reforms to restructure the economy.
Data published for the first time by the finance ministry gives a glimpse of how numerous state companies have prospered over the last few years, while investment in the private sector has languished.
Revenue at 17 non-oil, state-run holding companies more than doubled over three years to 60.64 billion Egyptian pounds ($3.88 billion) in 2018/19, according to Reuters calculations. The calculations were based on the companies' latest available results, published on the finance ministry's website late last year.
Net profit after tax at the 17 holding companies - which together control about 180 smaller companies - more than quadrupled over the three-year period, the data shows.
Egypt's economy was growing at nearly 6% before COVID-19 struck and economists say state-led activity has helped cushion the blow from the pandemic.
By contrast, private-sector activity as a whole - excluding the oil sector - expanded in only five of the 36 months from July 2016 to June 2019, according to IHS Markit's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI).
Egyptian officials say they are working to boost the private sector for long-term growth after stabilising the economy and implementing widely praised reforms backed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that included devaluing the currency, removing most energy subsidies and imposing a value-added tax.
However, last month the World Bank said state-owned enterprises (SOEs) often receive special tax exemptions and enjoy a regulatory environment that favours incumbents, causing private investors to shy away.
Foreign direct investment in Egypt rose to $8.24 billion in 2018/19 from $6.93 billion in 2015/16, according to central bank figures, but much of this was in the thriving oil and gas sector.
Egypt has not attracted the strong private investment that would help reduce poverty and absorb an estimated 800,000 workers entering the labour force every year, the World Bank said in its December report.
"The widespread presence of SOEs across the economy affects competition and distorts market outcomes," the World Bank said.
As part of plans to reform state enterprises, Minister of Public Enterprises Hesham Tawfik announced in early 2018 a programme to sell minority stakes in nearly two dozen companies.
Those sales have been delayed repeatedly by market downturns and more recently by the coronavirus pandemic.
Tawfik did not respond to a request for comment.
IMF BENCHMARK
The finance ministry published its data on state enterprises as a benchmark requirement under a $5.2 billion Standby Arrangement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) signed in June.
While there are still some state enterprises making losses, the finance ministry data showed a trend of swelling earnings growth.
The data shows that the cumulative revenue of 46 non-oil economic authorities, including the Suez Canal Authority, the Postal Authority and the loss-making Railway Authority, rose by 38.2% in the two years to June 2019.
"To raise your revenue by the margins (being seen by some state companies) I suspect would require a deliberate injection of cash or other help by the state," said Timothy Kaldas, a non-resident fellow at the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy.
"This indicates that the government is doubling down on this sort of regime-led capitalism beyond the security sector."
The finance ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether it was providing more support for state companies.
A finance ministry spokeswoman, however, said:
"The government plans to allow the private sector to manage several SOEs on behalf of the public sector in the transportation, tourism and housing sectors."
Together the non-oil state holding companies and economic authorities accounted for about 5.6% of GDP in 2018/19.
Other state companies that saw a surge in profit between 2015/16 and 2018/19 include the two main state banks and Telecom Egypt, according to the finance ministry data, as well as construction giant Arab Contractors whose revenue climbed to 24.82 billion pounds in 2018/19, from 17.76 billion in 2015/16.
