There is rank hypocrisy behind fining Justin Thomas for his outburst, while tour events take place in countries than ban homosexuality

There is rank hypocrisy behind fining Justin Thomas for his outburst, while tour events take place in countries than ban homosexuality
These are confusing days in professional golf. In his first tournament of the year, Justin Thomas misses a putt and reacts with a homophobic obscenity that lands him a fine and censure from the game’s overlords. And then in his very next start he pitches up at an event where he is being paid an appearance fee by a regime that bans, erm, homosexuality.
For the world No 3 this week, the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship might serve as a prime example that his profession is cursed more by double standards than double bogeys. This grotesque scenario could even make Thomas question why he bothered to apologise quite so strenuously for muttering the word “f-----” during the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.
"There’s just no excuse," Thomas said. “It’s not who I am. It’s not the kind of person that I am. I’m speechless. It’s bad. There’s no other way to put it. I need to do better. I need to be better.”
Of course, the PGA Tour agreed, declaring that Thomas’s gay slur was “unacceptable”. Except there was no confession from the officials that they, too, might “need to be better” in this regard as well, particularly when taking their circus to parts of the world where to be a homosexual can result in imprisonment.
Yes, Florida HQ will point out that the Abu Dhabi tournament is a European Tour production and is not on their schedule. Yet the PGA Tour does stage the CIMB Classic in Malaysia, a country in which, 14 months ago, five gay men were infamously caned and sentenced to jail for having sex in violation of Islamic law.
So there we have it. It is allowable for the Tour to accept millions off governments where gay people have to live in fear, but it is not permissible for a golfer to say a single hateful word. Granted, both are wrong, yet it is funny how the spotlight and the shame always falls on the individual and not on the corporation. In the wake of his disgrace, Thomas was also to discover that can be true with sponsors, as well.
After sweating on the controversy for a week, Polo Ralph Lauren released this ever so noble statement on the weekend: “We believe in the dignity of all people, regardless of age, race, gender identity, ethnicity, political affiliation or sexual orientation. In reflecting on the responsibility we have to all of our stakeholders, we have decided to discontinue our sponsorship of Mr Thomas at this time.”
Thomas will undoubtedly be asked about this in his press conference on Wednesday and he will surely be humble in his answer. Yet if I were Thomas, I would be sorely tempted to inquire why, if Ralph Lauren believes so vehemently in the “dignity” of “sexual orientation”, it boasts an outlet in Abu Dhabi, as well as Dubai, Singapore, Barbados, and many other places where homosexuality is illegal?
Naturally, like any marketing department worthy of its “inclusionary” certificates, Polo Ralph Lauren will argue that simply by being there the global luxury brand is helping to open up these intolerant cultures to the rest of the world. And despite making a fortune in the process, do not dare question its sentiment…
The entire sorry mess is rank hypocrisy, nothing else. Thomas is an easy scalp to highlight how enlightened Polo Ralph Lauren happens to be and yes, professional golf at large. This is not to excuse Thomas - a character who has always come across as one of the good guys, but who must now examine deep within why that word actually exists in his lexicon - but it is just another way in which young sports pros are used.
We will see it in Saudi Arabia in a few weeks’ time when the Kingdom’s latest burst of sports-washing tees off, featuring a stellar cast, including world No 1 Dustin Johnson and US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau. “Why are they there?” will go the cry. Because vast wads are dangled in front of them and they are being assured it is fine, that is why. Well, how about those danglers apologise for once?

Is there a perfect time to work out? Science seems to think so

New research has suggested there's a perfect time to exercise – but when that is depends on what your fitness goals are
|
New research has suggested there's a perfect time to exercise – but when that is depends on what your fitness goals are
What time do you usually work out? Now that we’ve all spent almost a year in our trousers-optional new reality, your answer might equally well be “first thing in the morning,” “straight after my 11am work call,” or “whenever I need to work off some stress about the new hellworld we all live in” – but is there actually a correct answer?
Some new evidence suggests that there is. A Spanish study published in 2020, for instance, found a correlation between exercising between 8am and 10am and a reduction in the risk of certain types of cancer, leading the study authors to suggest that the beneficial effects of early exercise for breast cancer risk may have links to oestrogen or melatonin production (prostate cancer also saw a reduction in risk, though a less statistically significant one). Then again, the differences between the case study group and controls were small and could be correlation; for example because people who make time for exercise early in the day are also likely to engage in other healthy behaviours. So is there anything else you should bear in mind?
Well, another consideration is when exactly you’ll feel best. In one study, published in the Journal of Sports Science, researchers found that test subjects were able to work harder in the evening so there’s a chance that, even if it feels like you’re training hard when you crank up the Rocky playlist first thing in the morning, you’re not actually putting forth your best effort.
World records are often set in the afternoon and many serious athletes leave their workouts until the mid-morning, based on the fact that a whole host of biological processes take a while to get online. Other studies suggest that the afternoon and evening are when your reaction time is at its quickest, which might be important for HIIT workouts, speed training or skill-based workouts.
What about the morning? Some trainers suggest that fasted workouts are better if your goal is fat loss, suggesting that early AM might be best if you’re looking to shed some lockdown pounds, but there’s little scientific evidence to back up that speculation. More promising is that you might actually be more able to stick to an omelette instead of going on a toast bender after a big workout. Research from Brigham Young University suggests that 45 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise in the morning is more likely to reduce your appetite than build it up. A much shorter workout can also set you up for the day – researchers at the University of Georgia found that sedentary, otherwise healthy adults who engaged in as little as 20 minutes of low-to-moderate aerobic exercise, three days a week for six consecutive weeks, reported an increase in energy levels and feeling less fatigued.
A general rule of thumb, then, might be if you’re aiming to actually get better at working out – shifting more weight, running faster or leaping taller tree trunks in a single bound – it makes more sense to save it for lunchtime or the afternoon. If you’re looking to make positive changes in the rest of your life – by feeling less stressed, more productive, or shifting some weight – earlier in the day is probably fine and might be beneficial.
The real truth, of course, is that the best workout is the one you’ll stick at regularly – not the one that’s scientifically advisable but you’ll always skip. Really, it’s fine to snatch a workout at any time of day: first thing in the morning if you’re keen, a couple of hours before bed if you can’t fit it in any other time, or 10 minutes before lunch if you’re feeling guilty about the Deliveroo you’ve just ordered and the driver’s on his way.
One caveat: if you’re aiming to build a habit, it helps to choose a timeslot that you’ve at least got a fighting chance of sticking to every day: if you’re consistently too worn out from a day of doomscrolling or home schooling to actually work out at 6pm, consider when in your day the prospects might be better. And if your answer to the question at the top was “Er, I don’t” – then start today, even if it’s just for a couple of minutes. Any time is better than never and any amount is better than none at all.

Joe Biden’s celebrity-packed inauguration is an embarrassing start to his presidency

The President-elect's cringeworthy attempts to appeal to a younger crowd - and Hollywood liberals - can't erase his campaign trail gaffes

The President-elect's cringeworthy attempts to appeal to a younger crowd - and Hollywood liberals - can't erase his campaign trail gaffes
Presidential inaugurations have long been about showing off. With parades, marches, shows and dances, presidents have taken the chance to bask in the glory of their victories (and occasionally rub salt in the wounds of the defeated).
Neither is it uncommon for such events to take on the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood premiere. In January 1949, at the first televised presidential inauguration, Harry S Truman posed with the likes of Jane Powell, Gene Kelly and Phil Regan who had sung the national anthem earlier that day. Sometimes celebrity appearances were political.
The famous contralto Marian Anderson performed at the inaugurations of Dwight D Eisenhower and John F Kennedy – as a black American, Anderson had been barred from singing in the Constitution Hall in Washington in 1939. In 1969, Richard Nixon decided the only performers he’d allow were the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Five years later, after Gerald Ford had been sworn in and declared the end of “our long national nightmare”, no one even sang the national anthem.
It therefore comes as no surprise that the banner won’t be the only star-spangled part of Joe Biden’s inauguration. Reports claim that Lady Gaga is the top pick to sing the national anthem, with Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Demi Lovato and Foo Fighters also contributing to the celebrations. The New York Times reports that Tom Hanks will host a 90-minute live special called Celebrating America in a bid to keep most of the celebrations virtual and avoid large crowds gathering on the day.
The official inauguration playlist (to be played in America’s living rooms) has caused some controversy – not just because it includes Major Lazer, Vampire Weekend, Burna Boy and several other singers who it’s difficult to believe Biden has ever heard of. The inclusion of the late MF DOOM’s track Coffin Nails was criticised by fans, who pointed out that the artist had a bad relationship with the US after being refused reentry during the Obama administration despite the fact that his wife and children lived there.
Perhaps not wanting to give all the air time to pop singers in a bid to please his young cohort, Biden’s team have also brought Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bon Jovi on board – so it won’t be all bad. Reuniting after 22 years for the privilege of playing at the inauguration, the New Radicals are set to play their hit song You Only Get What You Give at the parade. At least it’s virtual, so when Gregg Alexander sings “you’re all fakes, run to your mansions, come around, we'll kick your asses” Biden’s wealthy cohort won’t be caught cringing in the crowd.
I’m not here to scoff at Biden’s use of celebrity. It’s not the cheesiest line-up (George Bush had Ricky Martin in 2001). It’s not pre-destined to cause controversy (when Barack Obama invited Beyoncé to sing At Last in 2009, Etta James retaliated by threatening to “get her ass whupped”). On the contrary, Biden’s Celebrity America inauguration is entirely in keeping with the tenor of his presidential bid.
Biden’s sell to Americans has hinged on his pledge to be the candidate that isn’t Donald Trump. Biden is not the people’s champion, perhaps like Obama could have claimed, he’s simply the man that will do – and every poor performer needs a band of celebrities to help them get through the show.
Biden has tried the cool card before. In desperate attempts to move away from his reputation as a firm establishment figure with a dodgy history when it comes to race relations and incarceration, he has often attempted to be “hip”. In a toe-curling moment of the presidential race, he told radio host Charlamagne Tha God that voters who were still deciding between him and Trump “ain’t black” in one of the worst street-slang accents imaginable.
It’s not just Biden who feels the need to jazz-up his image, either. Vice President Kamala Harris has attempted to drown out her track record of increasing the mass incarceration of young black men by trying to gain cultural kudos. In an interview with Elle magazine, Harris revealed her desperation to be liked when she tried to pass off a Martin Luther King anecdote as her own. King told Playboy in 1965 the story of a little girl telling an officer on a civil-rights protest that she wanted ‘Fee-dom’ (Harris claimed that she had demanded “fweedom” from her stroller on a civil-rights march in Oakland).
One might argue that, in the middle of a pandemic, after a year of violent (recently fatal) riots and families facing economic destitution thanks to lockdown restrictions, a showy inauguration might be unwise. But you don’t need to be a spoilsport to see the problem with Biden’s reliance on celebrity.
Most Americans don’t have short memories – they remember that many of the stars now offering their services to Biden were vocal supporters of the #MeToo movement and conspicuously quiet when allegations were made against him during the presidential race. Neither have they forgotten that Harris, who now acts as if her and the president have been best buds for years, was uncompromising in her criticism of Biden during the primaries for working with former segregationists in the past. If celebrity and fame is mostly about hiding the truth behind a perfect smile, Biden and Harris are pros.
Even the most ardent Biden fans who tune in to the inauguration and its spin-off spectacles and shows this week will be aware of the shaky ground he walks on. Trump was about as in-your-face as shallow celebrity goes and his hollowing out of politics in a series of idiot tweets and attacks on democracy will colour his presidency forever.
But the Democrats reliance on celebrity and vengeful attempts at impeachment show that America’s second long national nightmare is far from over. If you’re still kidding yourself that Biden’s term will spell a move to serious political change based on what’s good for working-class Americans, switch over when you see Gaga take the mic.

Niğde'nin Bor ilçesinde yaşayan H.A. (51) ve M. A.(43) çifti 20 sene önce birbirlerini severek evlendi. Çiftin bu evlilikten biri erkek 3 çocuğu dünyaya geldi. İddiaya göre, 19 yıldır bipolar bozukluk rahatsızlığı olan ancak son 1 yıldır hastalığının şiddeti artan M. A., geçen 8 Kasım tarihinde sosyal medyadan tanıştığı kişilerle görüştükten sonra evden kaçarak Adana'ya geldi.
BULUNDU HASTANEYE YATIRILDI
İHA'da yer alan habere göre burada taksici olduğu öne sürülen Okan isimli biriyle buluşan M.A., fuhuş yapmaya başladı. Eşi H.A.’nın polise kayıp ihbarı yapması üzerine bulunan M.A. tekrardan Niğde'ye gönderildi ve sağlık problemleri nedeniyle Niğde Bor Aile Mahkemesi'nce hastaneye yatırılıp tedavi olmasına karar verildi.
"KENDİ RIZAMLA" DEYİNCE BIRAKILDI
Ancak M.A. Adana'ya gelip, fuhşa yapmaya devam etti, ailesinin telefonlarına bakmamaya başladı. Eşinin kayıp ihbarı üzerine polisin bulduğu M.A, evden kendi rızasıyla gittiğini söylemesi üzerine serbest bırakıldı.
"KIZLARI DA CİNSEL İSTİSMARA UĞRADI"
18 Aralık Cuma günü anne M.A.'nın, Niğde'de bulunan kızı G.’yi (15) ve P.’yi (14) aradığı, "Kızım evdeki çeyrek altını bozdurup, Adana' ya kaçıp gelin" demesi üzerine 2 kızın kaçtığı ve 2 kişi tarafından cinsel istismara uğradıkları öğrenildi. Bu olay üzerine devlet 2 kızı alıp yurda yerleştirirken poliste cinsel istismarı gerçekleştiren 2 kişiyi gözaltına aldı.
"EŞİMİ FUHUŞA SÜRÜKLEDİLER"
Öte yandan H.A. tarafından eşinin kendisi hakkında defalarca uzaklaştırma kararı çıkarttığı ve 'Beni rahat bırak, fuhuş yapmama engel olma' dediği iddia edildi. Eşini bulma ve geri eve döndürme ümidiyle Adana'ya gelen H.A., “Bu hastalığı nedeniyle bazı kişiler eşimin evden kaçmasına sebep oldu. Eşime hem cinsel istismarda bulundular hem de fuhşa sürüklediler.
"EŞİMİN AKLİ DENGESİ YERİNDE DEĞİL"
Eşime kim tarafından fuhuş yaptırılıyorsa bulunup adalete teslim edilmesini istiyorum. Ben Niğde Bor Aile Mahkemesi’nde eşimin yakalanıp hastaneye yatırılması gerektiğine dair karar çıkarttım. Adana’da taksici Okan diye birinin eşimi sürekli otellere getirip götürdüğü bilgisine ulaştım. Benim eşimin akli dengesi yerinde değil. Kim ne derse onun peşinde gidiyor. Kim ne derse onun dediğini yapıyor. Ben eşimi fuhşa sürükleyenlerin, fuhuş yaptıranların araştırılıp bulunmasını ve gerekli cezai işlem yaptırımlarını istiyorum” diye konuştu.
"ADALET ÖNÜNDE HESAP VERSİNLER"
Korktuğunu ve çocuklarını yurttan geri almak istediğini belirten H.A., daha sonra şunları söyledi: “Eşimi devletin bulup hastaneye yatırmasını ve tedavi altına almasını istiyorum. Korkuyorum. Şu anda çocuklarım eşim tarafından bırakıldığı için cinsel istismar nedeniyle devlet tarafından yurda yerleştirildi. Eşim çocuklarına telefon açtığında çocuklarım evden kaçıyorlar ve bu kaçma esnasında gece eve gelmiyorlar. Ben endişe ve şüphe içerisinde polise gittiğimde sabah çocuklarım bulundu ancak çocuklarımın cinsel istismara uğradığı öğrenildi. Eşimin akli dengesi yerinde olmadığı için karşısındakiler cinsel istismarda bulunuyor. Bunların araştırılıp tespit edilip adalet önünde hesap vermesini istiyorum. Şu an çaresizim. Bana biran önce yardım etmelerini ve eşimin bu durumdan kurtarılmasını istiyorum.”
"SESİMİ DUY VE ÇOCUKLARININ YANINA DÖN"
Eşinin de kendisi hakkında uzaklaştırma kararı aldırdığını söyleyen H.A., “Geçen 90 gün uzaklaştırma kararı aldırmış. Ben kendisini arayıp sorduğumda ise bana, ‘Bu uzaklaştırma kararı olmazsa sen benim yanıma yaklaşırsın’ diyor. Ben çaresizim” diye konuştu.
Eşine dönmesi için seslenen H.A., “Eşim, çocuklarımız yuvada. Oğlunun durumunu biliyorsun. Evin kirasını ödeyemedim. Elektrik ve suyum kesik. Seni kimler fuhşa sürüklüyorsa gel adalete teslim edelim. Bu sesimi duy ve çocuklarının yanına dön. Hem maddi hem de manevi olarak çaresizim. Çocuklarında seni özlüyor, bizde seni özlüyoruz” ifadelerini kullandı.

To say that 2020 was a tough year is a huge understatement.
|
To say that 2020 was a tough year is a huge understatement.
Locked up for most of it and then told that Christmas would be a wash out, with plans to travel and see family axed.
It’s no wonder we’ve relied on all manner of tipples to get us through.
But now, as we plough back into reality, a record number of people (an estimated 6.5million) are planning to embark on the month- long, booze-free challenge that is Dry January – the annual movement with charity Alcohol Change UK.
‘Drinking alcohol is just so normal,’ says former Made In Chelsea star Caggie Dunlop (30), who who has been sober for almost two years and is an ambassador for Alcohol Change UK.
‘It’s what people do. It’s how people unwind, socialise and bond. It’s a very encouraged social lubricant.
‘Whether you’re drowning your sorrows or celebrating, you drink. It’s embedded in our culture.
‘What’s worrying is that being sober is viewed as a weakness. People have such a funny response to those who don’t drink.
‘However, I think that having an awareness of how alcohol affects you and choosing not to drink because it’s not good for you, is much more a sign of strength.’
Many of us will have seen the shocking statistic back in June where The Royal College of Psychiatrists estimated that more than 8.4million people in England were now drinking at higher-risk levels (high risk is classed as regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week — around a bottle-and-a-half of wine).
More recently, a survey by Alcohol Change UK found that 22 per cent of people who drink said they felt concerned about the amount they had been drinking since Covid-19 restrictions began in March.
Worryingly, over half of drinkers said they drank alcohol for a mental health reason, such as feeling anxious, stressed, worried, or bored.
‘In my experience, there’s normal dinking and then there’s AA,’ says Caggie.
‘There’s not really anything in between. Alcohol was really affecting my mental health. It was damaging my life in all sorts of ways and I noticed an undeniable link between drinking and my depression.
‘There’s lots of components that contributed to me giving up and one of them was also vanity. After a big night out, you don’t look your best. It’s dehydrating and incredibly ageing.
‘Of course it’s hard not to drink at first, but I made a conscious decision to still go to parties and get over the fear around not drinking. I think that’s the single most important thing to do. It’s very challenging but you feel a real victory the next day. I was always so proud of myself when I didn’t drink, and these were the moments I started to look forward to: the tomorrow feeling.’
There is evidence to show that something like Dry January can help change your behaviour around drinking long-term, something worth thinking about when you consider the disastrous impact alcohol has on your body.
‘Just one drink a night will increase your risk of cancer,’ says William Porter, author of Alcohol Explained, a definitive guide to alcohol and its effects.
‘The International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organisation has classified alcohol as a Group One carcinogen, along with asbestos and cigarette smoking.
‘Alcoholic drinks may contain certain elements that are good for you, but these come from the fruit and vegetable extracts in them, not the alcohol. Alcohol itself has zero health benefits and damages the body and mind in all sorts of ways.
‘Alcohol is a sedative so interrupts your normal sleeping pattern. Just one or two drinks can impact your brain’s ability to take you through the different sleep cycles.
‘Alcohol also increases your heart rate and this not only increases your chance of cardiovascular disease and erodes your fitness, but robs you of energy. Alcohol is a chemical depressant, which means it depresses or inhibits nerve activity.
‘The human brain tries to maintain a constant chemical balance, so becomes hypersensitive so it can function under the sedating effects of the alcohol. The more you drink, the more hypersensitive it will become. Drinkers often wake in the night and are unable to sleep. This is alcohol withdrawal.’
So, maybe it is time to ditch the hangover, reduce the waistline, boost your energy and save some serious money, while giving your body a much needed break.
Studies show that abstaining from alcohol for a month can improve insulin resistance, lower your weight, improve blood pressure and reduce cancer-related growth factors.
‘Alcohol usually leaves your system after about 24 hours,’ says William. ‘And, if your brain has become hypersensitive, it usually gets back to normal after one to three days. During this phase you may find it difficult to sleep.
‘For regular or daily drinker who are yo-yoing between the hypersensitisation stage this might leave them feeling tired and lethargic and could take up to four weeks for the brain to acclimatise.
‘Finally, you will need to catch up on the missed quality sleep. However, do this and you will wake up feeling better than you ever have before.’

Siirt’te tarlasında ekin yaptığı sırada taş bulan ve bunların göktaşı olduğunu iddia eden bir kişi, taşları 50 bin dolardan satışa çıkardı. Siirt'te tarlasına ekin yapan çiftçi Edip Koral, ekin sırasında kendisine farklı gelen taşlar buldu. Taşların yapısının farklı olması nedeni ile araştırma yapan Koral, taşları evine götürdü. Bulduğu taşların göktaşı olduğunu iddia eden Koral, parçalar için 50 bin dolar fiyat biçti. Taşlara 20 bin dolar verildiğini fakat kendisinin bunu kabul etmediğini savunan Koral, elindeki taşlar için 50 bin dolar istediğini söyledi. Koral, "Siirt’te çiftçilik yapıyorum. Tarlamda ekin yaparken birkaç parça taş buldum. Çok ilgimi çekti. Biraz araştırdım bunun göktaşı olabileceğine karar verdim. Göktaşı olma ihtimali nasıl anlaşılır mıknatıs tutuyorsa gök taşı olma ihtimali çok yüksektir. Ben uzun süre araştırdım. Bunun numunelerini yurtdışına gönderdim birkaç alıcı çıktı. Göktaşlarıma 20 bin dolar fiyat biçtiler, ben kabul etmedim, vermeyeceğimi söyledim. Göktaşlarına 50 bin dolar istiyorum. Eğer bu parayı bana verecek olan varsa gelip göktaşlarımı alabilir. Analizini de yaptırdım yüzde 90 gök taşıdır" dedi.

Alexei Navalny calls for sanctions against 'enablers' of Putin regime including Roman Abramovich

Alexei Navalny was sent to prison for at least a month after he returned to Russia over the weekend
Top Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny, who has been jailed for at least a month after returning to Russia over the weekend, has urged Western governments to impose sanctions on key tycoons and allies of President Vladimir Putin including Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich and tycoon Alisher Usmanov.
Mr Navalny, who nearly died from a nerve agent poisoning last summer, was detained at a Moscow airport on Sunday and ordered to be kept behind bars at least until mid-February.
His close associate Vladimir Ashurkov said in a statement on Facebook on Monday that the Russian opposition leader drew up the list a few days before he came back to Russia from Germany where he was convalescing from the poisoning.
“We agreed on a list of people he felt should be sanctioned if the West wanted to get serious about encouraging Russia to cease attacking human rights and to rein in corruption,” Mr Ashurkov said.
Mr Ashurkov, who fled to the UK in 2014 following criminal prosecution in Russia, quoted Mr Navalny as saying that “sanctions aren’t working because the West has refrained from sanctioning the people with the money.”
“It is not enough to sanction the operatives who just follow orders in arresting and assassinating dissidents,” he said.
“The West must sanction the decision-makers and the people who hold their money. Nothing less will make an impact on the behavior of the Russian authorities.”
Mr Navalny has suggested targeting some of Russia’s richest men who have enjoyed a comfortable lifestyle in the West while remaining loyal to Mr Putin.
The list of eight people put forward by Mr Navalny includes Mr Abramovich, described as “one of the key enablers and beneficiaries of Russian kleptocracy,” banker Andrey Kostin and billionaire and former FC Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov.
Mr Ashurkov urged Western government to sanction people on the list unless “Alexei is immediately released.”
The West, responding to the 2014 annexation of Crimea, Russia’s involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine and other events, have sanctioned various Russian government officials and a few businessmen believed to be close to President Putin but never anyone with the international stature of Mr Abramovich or Mr Usmanov.
President Putin’s most formidable opponent was sent to jail for a month on Monday for violating the terms of his suspended sentence.
A separate hearing next month will rule whether to convert that suspended sentence to jail time. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Tuesday that the president “has nothing to do” with Mr Navalny’s legal troubles and dismissed suggestions that the president may be scared of Mr Navalny as “nonsense.”
Mr Peskov also said that the Kremlin does not fear massive opposition protests that are planned for the upcoming weekend.
An independent prison monitor visited Mr Navalny late on Monday at the notorious Moscow jail where tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky died a decade ago after being denied medical help.
Mr Navalny, who is reportedly in good spirits, will stay in a cell by himself for the next 14 days to comply with coronavirus quarantine, Alexei Melnikov said on his Telegram channel.
The opposition politician has a fridge, an electric kettle, a TV in his cell as well as hot water, which is not always the case at the Matrosskaya Tishina jail in Moscow which dates back to the mid-19th century.

ADELBODEN, Switzerland (AP) - American skier Tommy Ford was airlifted to the hospital after crashing in a World Cup giant slalom on Saturday.
Ford crashed three gates from the finish after going wide into rough snow beside the course. His skis touched and he fell forward, sliding down the hill first on his neck and left shoulder before coming to a stop.
Swiss television said Ford was speaking to medical and race workers while he was being treated. It was unclear what injuries Ford sustained.
A helicopter landed by the course 20 minutes later to airlift the 31-year-old racer from Bend, Oregon.
Ford has one giant slalom win and two more podium finishes in 12 seasons on the World Cup circuit. He wore start bib No. 4 on Saturday as one of the top-ranked racers.
The race resumed after a 30-minute pause.

Diane Hutchinson (Alex Fletcher) is left concerned for husband Tony (Nick Pickard) in Hollyoaks in the wake of dastardly Edward’s (Joe McGann) death over the festive period.
Edward arrived in the village over a year ago, and quickly became hellbent on causing trouble.
He set his sights on Diane, and attempted to manipulate the situation to his advantage — determined to win her affection.
In an effort to do so, he repeatedly drugged Tony and informed him he had a brain tumour. Verity (Eva O’Hara) couldn’t stand by and watch her dad abuse Toby in such a fashion, and therefore she revealed the truth.
A series of horrific events ensued — events which ultimately put both Tony and Diane in deadly danger — and in the end Edward met his demise.
It’s been a tough year for them, but — against all odds — Diane and Tony have come through it.
Yes, in spite of everything, they’ve stronger than ever.
However, Diane begins to worry that both Tony and Verity are burying their grief about Edward.
Is she correct?
If so, will she be able to convince them to open up?

Crawley boss hopes Leeds are on the wrong end of another FA Cup upset

Crawley boss John Yems insists he would not be surprised to see Premier League side Leeds added to his club’s lengthy list of cup scalps.
Marcelo Bielsa’s men travel to Broadfield Stadium on Sunday afternoon attempting to avoid an FA Cup third-round upset.
The Sky Bet League Two hosts have sprung a series of shocks against teams from higher divisions during the past decade, while 1972 cup winners Leeds have suffered recent embarrassment against lower-league opposition.
Yems has the in-form Red Devils in promotion contention on the back of a nine-game unbeaten run and has urged his players to play without pressure as they seek to secure a headline-grabbing result.
“Me personally, having been in the game as long as I have, nothing ever surprises you,” said the 61-year-old when asked about the prospect of a giant-killing.
“You shouldn’t be expecting anything to surprise you. It all depends on who fancies it on the day, whether the wind is blowing in the right direction.
“There are all sorts of things that can happen and you just hope it falls in your favour, rather than the opposition’s.
“We’re not going to play Leeds every week – you don’t play Premier League sides every week – so what is there to lose? You can only gain from it.
“We want to be in the game as long as we can be and we won’t be sitting back, I can assure you of that.”
Crawley, who sit sixth in the fourth tier, have knocked out the likes of Derby, Bristol City, Bolton, Ipswich, Norwich and Stoke in recent cup competitions.
Leeds, meanwhile, crashed out the FA Cup at non-league Histon in 2008 and have since fallen victim to Newport, Sutton and Rochdale.
While Yems wants his team to have a fearless approach, he is also wary of the dangers posed by the expansive style of the illustrious visitors from West Yorkshire.
“You’re playing a Premier League side that’s steeped in tradition, steeped in good players and to be on the same pitch as them is something you can learn from, without a shadow of a doubt,” he said.
“If they attack like they do sometimes, we’ll be hiding behind the settee!
“They’ve been playing against Premier League sides and they’ve been playing against good players and they’ve been playing against different systems.
“They haven’t done it against sides at our level and we haven’t experienced it, so it’s in the lap of the Gods.”
While coronavirus restrictions will prevent fans from attending, the tie will be broadcast to a national television audience.
Crawley’s 15-goal top scorer Max Watters, who is a doubt for the game due to a hamstring problem, is already attracting attention from bigger clubs and Yems is unconcerned about his players putting themselves in the shop window.
“If we lose them it means they have and we have done a good job on them,” said Yems.
“If they can make a living, make a good career out of it then brilliant – we’ve got to go and find others who can replace them.
“That’s a compliment to the lads; they deserve to be touted if they are playing well.
“If they get the opportunities to move up, it’s good to see that there is some British talent moving up the ladder.”

２１、２２日に意見交換したＩＯＣ各委員や２０６カ国・地域の国内オリンピック委員会（ＮＯＣ）から今夏開催への異論は出なかった。「全ての見通しは良好で、われわれは懸命に努力している。７〜８月に直面する可能性がある全てのシナリオを想定して準備を進めており、それは多岐にわたる」と語り、検疫や検査方法、ワクチン接種なども検討課題に挙げた。...

Ashley Biden: the president-elect's activist daughter stepping into Ivanka Trump's shoes

Ashley Biden is expected to be a very different First Daughter than Ivanka Trump, but will have her father's ear for issues she cares about

Ashley Biden is expected to be a very different First Daughter than Ivanka Trump, but will have her father's ear for issues she cares about
After Joe Biden gave his election victory speech, a woman danced on to the stage, waving her arms in the air and celebrating.
It was the kind of enthusiasm America is set to see regularly from the country's new First Daughter, Ashley Biden.
As America counts down the days until the inauguration of her father, Ms Biden, 39, is expected to be a very different First Daughter than Ivanka Trump.
She is unlikely to take a role in her father's administration. But, like Ms Trump, she will have her father's ear for issues that she cares deeply about.
Ms Biden is the only child of Joe and Jill Biden, and half-sister to Hunter Biden, and the late Beau Biden.
Her commitment to lobbying politicians began early.
At the age of nine she became deeply concerned about dolphins getting caught in tuna nets, so she lobbied her own father, who was then a US senator representing Delaware.
Joe Biden would arrive home in Wilmington to be greeted by posters and research projects advocating for dolphins.
The young Ms Biden went to Washington to speak to members of Congress and her father, along with California senator Barbara Boxer, wrote a bill that became the 1990 Dolphin Protection Consumer Information Act.
Ms Biden went on to study cultural anthropology at Tulane University in Louisiana, and graduated with a masters in social work from the University of Pennsylvania. At Tulane she was arrested for marijuana possession.
While Ms Trump has spent her whole life in the spotlight, Ms Biden has lived quietly in Delaware.
In the period when Ms Trump was appearing on The Apprentice with her father, Ms Biden was a social worker at the Delaware department of children's services.
In a 2017 interview with Glamour magazine she described how the Biden family's commitment to service had filtered down to her.
"The passion started at a very young age," she said. "My Dad is a lifelong public servant. My mom was a public school teacher. It’s in my DNA.'
From 2014 to 2019 she led the Delaware Center for Justice, which works toward criminal justice reform.
During that time Ms Biden told Delaware Today: "We need to accept that most people are not inherently bad. I am in my job because our system is malfunctioning. Mass incarceration isn’t the answer."
She campaigned against the death penalty and discrimination, and for projects including youth intervention, improved education and housing.
Wilmington itself, a city of 70,000 people, has a per capita income of $24,000, and 25 per cent of families are below the poverty line.
"What they [children] are seeing out there isn’t the American Dream. It’s discrimination, welfare, life on the edge,” Ms Biden told Delaware Today. "I think we all can agree, the world needs a lot more kindness."

In 2017, she used New York Fashion week to launch the Livelihood Collection, a clothes brand, including hoodies, which raises money for communities in Delaware.
At the event Joe Biden said: "I'm very proud of her. She's been trying to change the world since she was three."
Ms Biden has been married for eight years to Howard Krein, a plastic surgeon, to whom she was introduced by her late brother Beau.
She was active in her father's presidential campaign, speaking at the 2020 Democratic National Convention, and hosting an event for women in Wisconsin.
Her family has spoken about how, after the devastation of Beau's death from brain cancer in 2015, she committed to carry on his work, particularly in the area of criminal justice reform.
There has so far been little suggestion that will include a role in the administration of her father.
But friends have indicated that her mission will continue.

Cathedrals should stick to what they do best: being houses of God

If cathedrals are safe enough to use as vaccine hubs, why are they closing for worship?

If cathedrals are safe enough to use as vaccine hubs, why are they closing for worship?
It’s been called a gothic wonder, a miracle in stone, and a sacred space. But now, for the first time in 800 years, Salisbury Cathedral is “a vaccine hub.” In the past few days, the people of Wiltshire have been flowing through its doors to get their jab against Covid-19. In Lancashire, you can be vaccinated in Blackburn Cathedral and in Staffordshire, Lichfield Cathedral is the go-to venue for a little light organ music plus a syringe in your arm. Meanwhile, if you are in need of spiritual solace, forget it. As it says on the Salisbury Cathedral website: public worship suspended until further notice.
That cathedrals should want to do their bit is understandable. After all, churches have always been involved in good works, from visiting the sick to running Brownie packs and foodbanks. But loving one’s neighbour has gone hand in hand with loving God. Never before has it taken over and caused worship to be banished.
This decision to replace prayer with pin pricks is the inevitable consequence of the way in which devotion to the NHS has become a quasi-religion. Think of those rainbows in windows, like devotional icons; the clap for carers, like communal spiritual experiences, and now the long lines of people wending their way into the cathedrals. Once pilgrims would have waited to receive blessings from deacons, priests and cathedral deans. Now they queue patiently for succour from nurses, doctors and NHS high-ups.
The obsessive focus on protecting the NHS caused the Archbishop of Canterbury in the first deep lockdown to order that churches should be closed to all comers. Services went online, streamed from the vicarage. Meanwhile the Roman Catholic Church let its priests offer Mass at their altars while we laity watched via our laptops. The lack of access deeply distressed Christians of all stripes, and others too profoundly missed their places of worship, be they temples or mosques or synagogues. But hallelujah! they did eventually open again.
Now that we have mutated viruses seemingly becoming ever more contagious, I, like many others, are somewhat nervous of going to church. But as the Catholic bishops’ public health adviser told me, if you stick to the regulation cleaning, mask-wearing and hand sanitising, a church need be no more risky than a supermarket.
We do need food for the soul. After all, this pandemic is clearly not just a physical health crisis but a mental one too, as people endure being shut at home for months during lockdowns.
The cathedrals that have opened as vaccine hubs may gain some short-term PR. But this won’t be over next week. As Chichester Cathedral, which is not a hub, says, the church “would need to be closed to all other activities for several months”.
Being a “vaccine hub” is hardly having the moneychangers in the temple. But there are surely plenty of other places – local pharmacies, for instance – that could offer this service. Cathedrals and churches should stay open to do what only they do best: being houses of God with services that make the heart soar and the spirit sing.

Ischias-Nerv macht Franziskus zu schaffen

Während der Corona-Krise sorgt jede Unpässlichkeit des Papstes für Beunruhigung. Doch Franziskus begründet seine Absage von Gottesdiensten mit einem Ischias-Leiden. Trotz seiner Schmerzen warnt das Oberhaupt der Katholiken aber noch schnell vor einem Journalismus, der nicht gut zu Fuß ist.
Zum zweiten Mal in gut drei Wochen muss Papst Franziskus wegen eines Ischias-Leidens Messe-Termine kurzfristig absagen. Wie Vatikansprecher Matteo Bruni mitteilte, könne das katholische Kirchenoberhaupt eine für Sonntag im Petersdom geplante Feier wegen des "erneuten Auftauchens der Ischialgie" nicht leiten. Der 84-Jährige werde durch Kurienerzbischof Rino Fisichella vertreten. Das Angelusgebet am Mittag in der Bibliothek des Apostolischen Palastes werde der Papst aber sprechen.
Ende Dezember hatte Franziskus wegen Ischias-Schmerzen zwei Jahreswechsel-Messen abgesagt. Wie der Vatikan jetzt weiter mitteilte, solle ein für Montag vorgesehenes Treffen mit dem Diplomatischen Korps verschoben werden. Bei einem anderen Termin zum Abschluss der Gebetswoche für die Einheit der Christen werde der Papst vertreten werden.
Bei Ischias-Leiden handelt es sich um verschiedene Beschwerden, die in der Regel vom Ischias-Nerv ausgehen. Dieser ist dann zum Beispiel eingeklemmt oder entzündet. Dabei können sich die Schmerzen vom Rücken bis ins Bein ziehen.
"Sich die Schuhsohlen ablaufen"
Zugleich ließ es sich das leidende Kirchenoberhaupt nicht nehmen, vor einem Journalismus aus zweiter Hand zu warnen. Der liegt dem Papst zufolge vor, wenn Reporter sich nicht mehr auf der Straße "die Schuhsohlen ablaufen". Mutige Reporter in Krisengebieten dagegen seien ein Gewinn für die Demokratie, erläuterte der Papst in einer Botschaft zum kirchlichen Welttag der sozialen Kommunikationsmittel am Sonntag. Aufmerksame Stimmen würden die Gefahr einer Verflachung durch das "gegenseitige Kopieren" in vielen Mediengattungen seit längerem beklagen.
"Die Krise in der Verlagsbranche droht dazu zu führen, dass Informationen in Redaktionen, vor dem Computer, in den Presseagenturen und in sozialen Netzwerken hergestellt werden, ohne jemals auf die Straße zu gehen, ohne "sich die Schuhsohlen abzulaufen", ohne Menschen zu begegnen", hieß es wörtlich in der Erklärung des katholischen Kirchenoberhaupts. Dagegen gebe es eine ganze andere, mutige Seite des Journalismus, in der Reporter sich großen Gefahren aussetzten. Der 84-jährige Franziskus bedankte sich für Berichte über verfolgte Minderheiten, Ungerechtigkeit gegen Arme und vergessene Kriege. "Es wäre ein Verlust nicht nur für die Information, sondern für die gesamte Gesellschaft und für die Demokratie, wenn diese Stimmen verschwinden würden."

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that the president's exit will lead to the start of a Trump political dynasty
The Trump presidency has been a family affair and, as Donald Trump's star falls, his children find their futures looking uncertain too.
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner have been White House employees, senior advisers to the president and, after he leaves office, will be looking for new work.
When Mr Trump assumed office, he left his adult sons, Donald Jr and Eric, running the Trump Organization. If he were to decide to resume control of his business they may be less busy too.
It is not beyond the realms of possibility that Mr Trump's exit from the White House will lead to the start of a Trump political dynasty.
His children have all been loyal throughout and could try to assume the mantle, running for the Republican nomination in 2024.
For some time it was assumed – including by Mr Trump himself – that if the Trump torch was to be passed on it would go to Ivanka, who would seek to become the first female president of the US.

Over the last four years, and particularly in the aftermath of the 2020 election, it is Mr Trump Jr who has emerged as his father's most likely political successor.
The 42-year-old is the most conservative of the children and has embraced and amplified the president's incendiary speaking style.
In the weeks after the election he called for "total war" and a "fight to the death".
He is almost as popular with the Trump base as his father, and even more outspoken on Twitter.
One Trump aide described Mr Trump Jr as the "emotional centre of the MAGA universe".
Political candidates usually release books ahead of runs. Mr Trump Jr has released two recently – "Triggered" and "Liberal Privilege" – attacking Democrats and political correctness and portraying Joe Biden as a "swamp monster".
In the last few weeks it has been rumoured that Don Jr is eyeing up a run for the White House.
The rumours began in earnest in October 2020, he posted a photo of a "Don Jr. 2024" flag on Instagram.

When they took jobs in her father's administration Ivanka and Mr Kushner uprooted their lives with their three children, moving from New York City to Washington DC, where they rented a $5 million home around the corner from Barack and Michelle Obama.
Indications are that they could return to their previous life in Manhattan, with Ms Trump, 39, reinvigorating her lifestyle brand, and Mr Kushner, also 39, re-engaging in the property business.
Ms Trump's fashion business could be turbocharged by her increased global fame, but in New York City the couple could find a chilly society welcome and party invitations drying up.
They recently threatened to sue after billboard adverts went up in Times Square linking them to the country's coronavirus deaths.
A lawyer for the couple wrote to the Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans responsible for the adverts, calling them "false, malicious and defamatory".
After leaving the White House, Mr Kushner, who invested much of his energy in the Trump administration's Middle East peace efforts, might be expected to continue working towards that goal in a private capacity.
A month after the election the couple purchased a multimillion-dollar undeveloped plot of on Indian Creek, a private island in Florida which boasts a 13-man police force and an armed marine unit patrolling its perimeter around the clock.
And renovations have been carried out at "Kushner Cottage" - their home at Mr Trump's golf course in New Jersey, suggesting they could spend more time there.
That relocation has led to persistent rumours that Ms Trump is considering a Senate run in Florida.
Eric Trump, 36, Mr Trump's middle son, appears set to continue his role developing hotels, golf courses and apartment buildings.
His wife Lara became very involved in campaigning for her father-in-law, and there has been speculation that she could run for a US Senate seat in her home state of North Carolina.
She said recently: "It would be an incredible thing."
It would make her the first of the next generation of the Trump family to stand for office.
The president's daughter Tiffany Trump, 27, graduated from Georgetown University in Washington with a law degree in May.
Ms Trump also gave a speech at the Republican National Convention.
She has suggested a desire to work for her father in a legal capacity.
After her graduation Mr Trump tweeted: “Great student, great school. ... Just what I need is a lawyer in the family.”

As 2021 kicks in in earnest, it’s fair to say that many of us have never begun a New Year with more trepidation.

As 2021 kicks in in earnest, it’s fair to say that many of us have never begun a New Year with more trepidation.
As well as Covid-19, which increasingly looks as if it will dominate at least the next six months, there are the implications of Brexit, a new incumbent in the White House and continued worry over climate change. Britain’s businesses are understandably concerned about what the year will bring.
‘There will be seismic shifts in some sectors,’ warns Matthew Thorpe, managing partner of accountancy firm Haines Watts Hornchurch.
‘It is inevitable that the havoc Covid-related lockdowns have had on the economy will continue to play out well into 2021. There will be those who suffer badly and some sectors will be devastated; leisure, hospitality and the performing arts to name just a few.
‘These changes have been coming but the events of 2020 have accelerated them into step changes rather than gradual evolution. While many businesses will adapt and thrive, some will fail.’
Although there’s much that feels uncertain, there are some things we can expect – and understanding how these affect you and what you can do about them will be crucial.
The evolution of Covid-19
How coronavirus will affect your business
Predicting how 2021 will be in terms of lockdowns, vaccine-related restriction loosening and some return to normality is like trying to nail jelly to a wall, but there is no doubt that all businesses will be affected by the progress of the disease.
With Prime Minister Boris Johnson announcing a return to a lockdown in England on Monday night, following First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s similar move in Scotland, businesses across the UK are more concerned than ever about how they will survive.
How can you get help with your money?
The first thing to do it to make sure you are claiming all the help that you can. Chancellor Rishi Sunak yesterday announced a further £4billion in grants for the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors as well as a further £594m given to local councils to assist those businesses impacted by the lockdown but not eligible for the new payments.
Contact your local council to ask about eligibility. For businesses with employees, the extension of the current furlough scheme to April 30 provides an element of stability over coming months.
The scheme allows you to furlough people part-time as well as full-time, which gives companies more flexible options.
As before, you can claim 80 per cent of an employee’s usual salary for hours not worked, up to a maximum of £2,500 per month.
‘While helpful, furlough does not reduce the cost per hour of employing someone still working and does not protect against the huge range of other fixed costs threatening to push [a company] under before restrictions are lifted,’ says Mike Cherry, chairman of the Federation for Small Businesses.
If you are self-employed and your income is affected, you should ensure that you claim the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) grant, though the government asks that you do this only if you have a ‘reasonable belief’ that you will experience reduced activity, capacity or demand due to Covid restrictions.
To receive the grant, your trading profits must be no more than £50,000 and at least equal to your non-trading income and you cannot receive it as a director of your own limited company, as this does not count as self-employment.
Applications for the third grant close on January 29. Like furlough, the SEISS pays 80 per cent of your income.
There will be a fourth grant covering the three-month period from February 1 to April 30, but further details about the scheme have not yet been made available.
You can also continue to apply for emergency coronavirus loans, which have no repayments due for the first year. Bounce Back Loans (BBLs) and Coronavirus Business Interruption Loans (CBILs) are both now available until March 31. Find out more here.
The high street reimagined
The world changed in 2020, and 2021 is likely to see many of those trends accelerate – including the closure of many large department stores and more people working from home rather than in large city centres.
Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, says that the failure of high-profile retailers will leave a hole. ‘The carving up of Arcadia’s empire, the collapse of Debenhams and the closure of smaller retail chains could leave vast swathes of the town centres empty if buyers can’t be found.
Primark may be pulling in the crowds but it’s has almost completed its UK expansion. Shops are unlikely to fill all the spaces, and the high street will have to be re-imagined,’ she says.
For smaller businesses with community links, the reimagining of city centres could be an opportunity. ‘The retail cards are being reshuffled, but the current crisis doesn’t have to herald the demise of the high street.
Customers will still want a human connection and retail will continue to play to this basic need,’ Susannah says.
She predicts smaller co-working spaces will provide a stream of customers for high-street retailers and ‘restaurant’ quarters in local areas.
‘As campus-style developments, our distressed city centres may once again find a new lease of life, and bring fresh energy back into the retail ecosystem,’ she adds.Ensuring you foster links with your local community will help you give your business boost in both the long and short-term.
The end of the Brexit transition period
How Brexit will affect you…
The UK Government approved a trade deal with the EU at the very last minute, but that doesn’t mean there is nothing for businesses to do in order to trade smoothly with Europe.
‘As the dust starts to settle on the “deal is done” headlines of recent days, we’re keen to remind the business community that the UK-EU TCA – or the avoidance of a no-deal outcome – does not remove the need for businesses to make changes to their operations. Far from it.
‘What it does do is bring some certainty on many of the new trading rules that will apply after the end of the transition period, most notably tariffs,’ says Sally Jones, Brexit strategy and trade leader at Ernst & Young.
The good news is that there will be tariff-free, quota-free access for products traded between the UK and EU. However, there are a number of new customs procedures and formalities for businesses to get to grips with.
What can you do?
The new deal is 1,200 pages long, with many ramifications for businesses, depending on sector and activity.
Sally says that businesses should ‘engage with government, their respective trade bodies and trade professionals to ensure they have as many bases covered as time, resource and budgets allow’.
One of the most important things to do is to get an EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) number that starts with GB if you haven’t already. This can be obtained via gov.uk/eori.
It can take a week to get one and you’ll need it for exporting goods, while you can also sign up for support for moving goods through Northern Ireland at the Trader Support Service website.
Completing the questionnaire on the government website should give you an idea of which changes apply to you and whether or not you will need special licences – for example, for exporting plants and chemicals – or to apply for other permissions.
There will also be new paperwork to fill in – if you use a customs agent for import or export they should be able to help with this, otherwise you should ensure you get the correct advice from gov.uk.
Changes at the White House
His move to the White House is likely to mark a huge shift in US government policy that will be felt across the world. Throwing his support behind climate change policies will be one big shift.
‘Having the US agree that climate change is a real risk, with its scale and ability to influence global policies, will help the world address the issue,’ says Carl Ennis, the UK CEO of Siemens.
‘Strategies to increase decarbonisation will be central to discussion at next year’s UN Climate Change Conference, COP26, in Glasgow, in which I hope President-elect Biden’s administration will play a crucial role.’
Fund managers such as David Coombs, who runs Rathbones Multi-Asset portfolios, says that Biden will give business a smooth ride. ‘President-elect Joe Biden is an establishment moderate. We don’t expect to see him rocking the boat with drastic changes to the business landscape,’ he says.
Decarbonisation is likely to be a huge theme for 2021, in part thanks to Biden, and businesses with sustainable credentials will thrive – so now is a good time to consider your ethical credentials.

From his inauguration to the US Capitol riots, take a look back at the moments that have defined Donald Trump's time in office
Since his victory in 2016 and inauguration in 2017, Donald Trump has been at the helm of one of the most unconventional and eventful presidencies in recent memory.
From the inauguration crowd size controversy, to meeting Kim Jong-un and swearing in three Supreme Court justices, Mr Trump ploughed ahead with his unique style of leadership which sometimes stumped even the most seasoned of Washington correspondents.
To round off his term in office, Mr Trump faced both an impeachment, a devastating pandemic in the months leading up to the 2020 election, and most recently, a controversial phone call with Georgia's Secretary of State in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state.
This led to chaos in America, after a gang of violent Trump supporters raided the US Capitol building on Jan 6 in an attempt to block the certification of the presidential election results.
However, in the hours following the violence, the US Congress declared Joe Biden would become the next President of the United States of America on Jan 7, after they certified the 270 Electoral College votes which he needed to win. He defeated Donald Trump by 306-232.
Following the deadly events, Donald Trump committed to a peaceful transition of power for the first time.
Speaking on Twitter on Mr Trump's behalf, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, announced the President "totally disagreed with the outcome of the election" but confirmed, "there will be an orderly transition on January 20th." He added: "While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!"

For a refresher of all the key moments that have defined President Trump's time in the White House, watch the video above.
On Jan 6, chaos erupted in Washington DC, after a gang of violent Trump supporters raided the US Capitol building in an attempt to block the certification of the presidential election results.
At present, five people have died- one of which is a female Trump supporter and veteran, Ashli Babbit, who was shot in the neck inside the Capitol building before she later died in hospital. US Capitol Police confirmed on Jan 7 that Officer Brian Sicknick had passed away in hospital after being "injured while physically engaging with protesters."
52 people have been arrested, while many others were injured, as Congressmen escaped to safety. Meanwhile, tens of thousands more supporters congregated outside the building to show their support for Mr Trump.
Even throughout the siege, Mr Trump maintained his claims of election fraud; however, the President addressed the rioters on Twitter, asking them to "remain peaceful" and "respect the law and our great men and women in Blue."
The Vice President, Mike Pence, also spoke out to condemn the protestors' actions, stating that "violence never wins."
The events have already led to several White House officials' resignation, including deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger, who resigned in the hours following the violent protest. His departure follows those of two top aides to first lady Melania Trump, the White House social secretary, Rickie Niceta and deputy White House press secretary Sarah Matthews.
Reports also suggest the national security adviser Robert O'Brien, Mr Pottinger's boss, may also resign, along with deputy chief of staff Chris Liddell.
Throughout the course of his presidency, Trump was never been far from the headlines and has had significant policy impacts.
He fired FBI Director James Comey after describing the investigation into alleged ties with Russia as a "made up story".
On foreign policy, Mr Trump tore up the US nuclear deal with Iran, while brokering a historic peace deal between Israel and Bahrain which followed a similar accord with the United Arab Emirates.
Mr Trump cut deals and imposed tariffs that incentivised employers to create jobs in America, rather than outsourcing abroad in the face of growing hostility China.
He had achieved a proud presidential record, including an unemployment rate at a 50-year low of 3.5 per cent, although this was left in tatters by the pandemic. A brutal April-June quarter saw the world’s biggest economy shrink by a record 9.4 per cent.
However, Mr Trump would go on to credit himself with a "Trump super recovery" after almost half of all job losses from the coronavirus pandemic were recovered.
President Trump ordered a missile strike on Syria in 2018 in a rebuke to the leadership of Bashar al-Assad and his attacks on his own people.
Mr Trump said that Assad's policy "crosses many, many lines" in terms of foreign policy, and he demonstrated a ruthless streak that has also been exhibited in his policy towards Iran.
The President has also paid an official state visit to the UK, and reached out to Kim Jong-un, who he met firstly in Vietnam and then in the demilitarised zone.
Then in early 2020, the Senate ultimately rejected articles of impeachment that were levelled at Mr Trump, who brandished a copy of The Washington Post with the headline "Trump acquitted" in celebration.
President Trump contracted coronavirus in October, which resulted in a stay at Walter Reed hospital "out of an abundance of caution".
Having recovered, he returned to a scintillating blitz of election rallies on the campaign tail, and said of Covid-19: "Don't let it dominate you."

Within a week of his inauguration, the president signed an executive order which banned citizens from seven majority-Muslim countries entering the US, which would become known as a 'Muslim ban', leading to criticism from several world leaders.
Later in 2017, Mr Trump pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Change Agreement in an attempt to "put American workers first", making America just one of three countries in the world that were not part of the agreement.
The president failed to condemn extremist groups on several occasions, initially refusing to criticise following the terrorist attacks in Charlottesville and far-right group, Proud Boys, following attacks on left-wing protesters in the run-up to the 2020 election.
During the coronavirus pandemic, the president made several faux pas; calling Covid-19 the 'Chinese virus', asking health officials if disinfectant could be injected into people in order to cure people from the virus, and saying at an election rally in 2020 that the virus "affects virtually nobody", despite 200,000 recorded deaths from the virus in the US at the time of quotation.
Trump has also faced accusations of sexual misconduct during his time as President, dismissing a rape allegation from journalist, E Jean Carroll, by saying that she is "not my type." He also has a record of sexist comments, recently asking a group of women if their "husbands are ok" with them attending his rallies.
Then in the final days of his time in office, his supporters attacked the Capitol Building in an attempt to prevent certification of the presidential election results. However, following these events, Donald Trump committed to a peaceful transition of power for the first time.
Trump has also confirmed that he will not be attending Mr Biden's inauguration on Jan 20. He tweeted on Jan 8 that he "will not be going to the inauguration", making him the first President in 152 years not to attend the swearing in of their successor.

Douglas Emhoff: meet America's 'First Husband'

The husband of Democratic vice president Kamala Harris has put his job on hold to support her campaign

The husband of Democratic vice president Kamala Harris has put his job on hold to support her campaign
Kamala Harris as vice-president will come with plenty of firsts. Not only will she be the first female, the first African American and the first Asian American to hold the post, but her husband Doug Emhoff will also become the nation's first “second gentleman”. He will also be the first Jew in the quartet of American presidents, vice presidents and their spouses.
Mr Emhoff, 56, has already shown himself to be a proud supporter of his wife. In August, he took a leave of absence from the law firm where he is a partner in order to work on her election campaign with Joe Biden. He also constantly tweets loving comments in praise of her.
He has not been out of work for long though, taking a job teaching entertainment law at the Georgetown University Law Centre.
“I’ve long wanted to teach and serve the next generation of young lawyers,” he said when the appointment was announced in mid-December. “I couldn’t be more excited.”
Although he is unlikely to have a formal political role in the White House, Mr Emhoff would be expected to appear alongside Harris regularly, in the full glare of the media spotlight.
A lawyer born in New York who spent much of his childhood in New Jersey, the pair met on a blind date in 2013 and instantly hit it off. Mr Emhoff emailed the following morning with a series of dates for the next meeting, saying: "I want to see if we can make this work." They married a year later.
Ms Harris is his second wife. He has two adult children - Cole and Ella - from his first marriage who apparently affectionately call Ms Harris “Momala”. He is still close to ex-wife, Kerstin, and she volunteered on Ms Harris’ vice presidential campaign.
Much has been made of his unerring support of his wife’s political career. When Ms Harris announced she was Mr Biden's running mate, he tweeted “America, let’s do it.”
Read more: What time is Joe Biden's inauguration, and who is performing?
On hearing the news that Kamala Harris was the vice-present elect, Mr Emhoff took to Twitter to share a photo hugging his wife, with the caption “So proud of you.”
His bio on the site describes him as a dad, lawyer, advocate for justice and equality, and “hubby”.
Over the last few months, his days and nights have been dedicated to helping his wife and Mr Biden triumph, but he has been clear that his is a supporting role.
“I'm not overly political. I'm overly her husband,” he told Marie Claire.
Mr Emhoff has been deliberately vague when it comes to what he plans to do while he holds the position of "second gentleman". Aside from telling David Letterman that he wants to "help people get access to legal services" during a campaign fundraising event, he has stuck to platitudes about helping his wife "heal the nation".
As the first ever “second gentleman” - the slightly awkward title for the male spouse of the vice president - he would still face intense scrutiny.
In March 2019, shortly after Harris had announced her presidential bid, TV talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joked that he wasn't sure America was “ready for a first lady named Doug”.
“In fact he’s very much enjoying being the ‘spouse of’,” quipped back Harris. “He’s very secure.”

Graham Potter keen on FA Cup run even though Premier League...

Graham Potter accepts clubs like Brighton will always have Premier League survival as their priority, but believes they should also aim for a decent FA Cup run to help lift their campaign.
The Seagulls head to Sky Bet League Two promotion-chasers Newport on Sunday looking for a respite from the battle to stay up.
Potter saw his side fight back from 3-1 down to draw with Wolves last weekend, and they now sit three points above the drop zone – albeit having played two matches more than 18th-placed Fulham.
Trips to Manchester City and Leeds follow next week, before a crucial showdown against the Cottagers at the Amex Stadium on January 26.
Given the challenges ahead of keeping themselves in the top flight, also juggling a cup run would perhaps fall lower down Potter’s ‘to-do list’ for 2021.
The Brighton manager, though, views it as an opportunity to boost confidence as the fight for survival hots up.
“The priority would be the Premier League, I think that is fair and most people would understand that,” Potter said.
“But at the same time, you can still be competitive and try to go through in the FA Cup.
“It is a special competition and can provide some positivity to your campaign, and also just allow you to develop as a team and as a club.
“As we approached the Carabao Cup, we tried to win (the ties), to go through and progress.”
Sunday’s televised FA Cup third-round clash at Rodney Parade, though, presents anything but an easy ride for the Premier League outfit.
A hot-air dome is being used to help protect the pitch with rugby union club Dragons set for their Guinness PRO14 match against rivals Ospreys late on Saturday afternoon.
Michael Flynn’s Exiles have a great cup pedigree in recent seasons – and knocked Leicester out in the 2019 third round.
Potter said: “We can’t influence the draw and we have to play whoever, wherever we are drawn.
“Newport are a team that have got a history of performing against teams in higher divisions and knocking them out.
“As a team they have developed so they are pushing for promotion. Credit to Michael (Flynn), he has done fantastically well.
“We have a lot of respect for him and the cup competition.
“We will go with the mentality that we want to win the game, we will respect our opponent and to do our best.”
Potter does not feel Brighton’s task is made any easier by the fixture being played behind closed doors.
“If you look at their results, they have got them without supporters there, so they have got a good identity, a good idea of how they want to play,” the former Swansea boss said.
“They believe in each other and will be fighting to beat us, so we have to bring our own game.”

Corona kostete mich meine Arbeit, ich musste zurück zu meiner Mutter ziehen. Geld für Weihnachtsgeschenke hatte ich keins. Zum Glück hat das neue Jahr mit einer guten Nachricht begonnen.
Ende Februar 2020 litt ich an einer sehr schweren Grippe, damals habe ich mir überhaupt keine Gedanken gemacht, dass es Corona sein könnte, das Virus war zu diesem Zeitpunkt ja noch nicht richtig angekommen in Deutschland. Als ich etwas später einen Schnupfen hatte, habe ich mich sofort gefragt: Habe ich es jetzt? Falls ja, was passiert mit mir? Wird es schlimm? Ich habe viel Kontakt zu meiner 89-jährigen Großmutter, besuche sie oft, fahre sie im Auto umher. Ich habe mir ständig Sorgen um sie gemacht: Wenn ich Corona habe, stecke ich sie dann an?
Im März hat man mir fristlos gekündigt, »aus wichtigem Grund«, hieß es von der Geschäftsführung. Ich habe im Schlosshotel Götzenburg am Empfang gearbeitet. Gegen die Kündigung habe ich geklagt. Der Gütetermin vor dem Arbeitsgericht ist gut für mich verlaufen. Ich habe das Gehalt bis zum rechtmäßigen Kündigungstermin erhalten, auch die restlichen Urlaubstage wurden mir ausgezahlt. Wenigstens etwas.
Weil ich mir die 600 Euro Miete für meine Wohnung in Widdern bei Heilbronn nicht mehr leisten konnte und die Lebenshaltungskosten dort hoch sind, bin ich vergangenen Mai zurück zu meiner Mutter in die Eifel gezogen, nach Gerolstein. Bis Mai hatte ich 15 Bewerbungen geschrieben, bis August waren es 45, bis November 70. Quer durch alle Branchen: Stahlhandwerk, Touristikinformation, Medizinwiederaufbereitung. Ich hatte ein Vorstellungsgespräch bei einer Kfz-Werkstatt, einem pharmatechnischen Unternehmen und der Deutschen Post, ich war zum Probearbeiten in einem Sanitätshaus. Aber es hat sich nichts ergeben. Noch nie habe ich mir so viele Sorgen um meine Zukunft gemacht wie im vergangenen Jahr.

The Government must think again about its move to decriminalise military torture

As it stands, the Overseas Operation Bill risks seriously harming Britain's reputation abroad

As it stands, the Overseas Operation Bill risks seriously harming Britain's reputation abroad
When I entered the Royal navy in 1965, servicemen and women assumed that if they undertook actions in good faith in war and peace that the nation would protect them. I do not question the fact that our people on sea, land and air hold themselves to the highest of standards: a force for good, and seen to be so, both at home and abroad.
I support the Government’s wish to prevent false allegations and prosecutions against members of our armed forces who were involved in overseas operations many years ago. It is not before time and successive governments have failed to take action not least because this issue has such complex legal implications. However, whilst I salute Ministers’ wish to support those serving in the military and our veterans who give so much to this nation, the Government’s Overseas Operations Bill does seem to have a number of wrinkles that need fuller explanation and indeed ironing out.
In its current form, this legislation would seem to decriminalise acts of torture by members of the armed forces if reported after five years. This cannot be the intention and serves the interests of no one. Indeed in their attempt to protect the military, the Government may well do both individual personnel – and our international standing – serious harm.
What is quite clear, and it was inculcated in us from day one of warfare training, is that "there are no circumstances in which torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment can ever be justified”; it’s a principle that all members of our military must, and do, abide. We must be wary of creating a perception and certainly not a reality that this is not the case.
Not only is torture inhumane, it is just not operationally useful: those subjected to these illegal techniques will just tell you what you want to hear, regardless of whether it’s true. I've fought in wars been head of Defence Intelligence and held the highest office in the Navy and believe me, what’s said under duress is deeply unreliable. We learned from the heavily redacted US Senate report on the CIA torture programme that the torture that so gravely damaged America’s reputation produced no actionable intelligence.
In rare instances when criminal charges are brought for torture, accused members of the military must be allowed to defend themselves, in open court if needed. The Crown Prosecution Service must be trusted to decide the best course of action, not restricted by arbitrary time limits imposed by the state. In its current form, this bill gives the impression that such action will not take place. This needs to be resolved. Those guilty of torture must be punished.
The government did seem to understand that it is in the interests of all for allegations of torture to be investigated fully whenever they might arise. In the initial consultation on this legislation, it was suggested that time limits would not be imposed on allegations of sexual offences or torture being investigated; the latter was later quietly removed with no explanation. It is bizarre that sexual offences are covered and torture not.
An added concern is whether the legislation makes our servicemen and women more likely to be hauled before an International court. The risks of such an eventuality have not been fully addressed and explained within the Bill. It would be extraordinary if our people were freed from the threat of being taken to court in the UK years after the event only to find that they would go before a foreign court.
The United Kingdom was a prime mover in the birth the Geneva Conventions in the aftermath of the Second World War, a past we can be proud of. It is imperative that we don’t become perceived as reluctant to act in accordance with long-established international law.
If serving around the world, in Whitehall as First Sea Lord and Chief of the Naval Staff and as a Home Office Minister, has taught me anything, it’s that the British military does far more than protect our nation’s interests and borders. Our commitment to fairness, the rule of law and democracy internationally must continue to set a standard, setting us apart from those who wish to harm us; now more than ever these values of decency are desperately needed as a force for good across the globe.
Another area of concern that needs to be clarified and resolved is the issue of civil claims. The de facto six-year time limit for claims being brought against Ministers and the MOD arising from active service abroad seems at first sight far from protecting our soldiers but rather reducing the rights of individual service personnel. By far the largest proportion of claims such as these brought against the MOD between 2014-2019 were by service personnel themselves seeking compensation for harms suffered during active duty.
It was two MPs who were once members of the armed forces – David Davis and Dan Jarvis – who tabled an amendment in the House of Commons to ensure allegations of torture would always be investigated fully. This isn’t about party politics, but what’s in the national interest: members from all parties expressed their support for making changes, as did many like myself who have spent years in active service.
If the Government truly wants to do the best and support our brave servicemen and women, then it must accept amendment to this bill where necessary and/or explain the implications are not what they seem.

Chodorkowski will EU-Strafen für Oligarchen

Während in Russland Zehntausende Menschen für Nawalnys Freiheit auf die Straße gehen, machen führende russische Oppositionelle Druck auf die Europäer: Vor dem Treffen der EU-Außenminister fordern Kasparow und Chodorkowski Sanktionen gegen Putin-Getreue.
Wegen des Vorgehens gegen den Kremlkritiker Alexej Nawalny haben prominente russische Oppositionspolitiker die EU zu Sanktionen gegen Oligarchen und Freunde von Kremlchef Wladimir Putin aufgefordert. "Jagt sie, verfolgt ihre Geldströme", sagte Garri Kasparow bei einer Online-Pressekonferenz am Abend. "Hört auf, mit der Mafia zusammenzuspielen." Die Mittel lägen bereit, die Vermögen von Putins milliardenschweren Freunden im Westen zu sperren.
Gemeinsam etwa mit dem früheren Oligarchen Michail Chodorkowski forderte der ehemalige Schach-Weltmeister Kasparow, das Sanktionsinstrument zu nutzen, das die EU im Kampf gegen Menschenrechtsverletzungen im Dezember beschlossen hatte. Damit soll die politische Ahndung solcher Verbrechen deutlich erleichtert werden. Zudem sollen auch Einreiseverbote für Personen verhängt werden. Die EU-Außenminister treffen sich am Montag.
"In Russland ist endgültig eine Diktatur errichtet worden", sagte Chodorkowski. "Der Hauptgrund, um an der Macht zu bleiben, ist ein unvorstellbarer Diebstahl und der Wunsch, der Verantwortung für die begangenen Verbrechen zu entgehen." Gegen die Bevölkerung werde Gewalt eingesetzt. "Die Situation mit Nawalny zeigt diesen Wandel." Chodorkowski betonte, er stehe hinter Nawalny. Dieser sei ein politischer Gefangener wie er selbst einer war. "Solange er im Gefängnis ist, werde ich ihn unterstützen", sagte er. Kasparow betonte: "Wir können Nawalny jetzt nicht beschützen. Aber wir können für das kämpfen, für das auch er kämpft: Ein freies Russland."
Kasparow bemängelt "Schröderisierung"
Kasparow kritisierte die Rolle von Altkanzler Gerhard Schröder, der Posten bei Nord Stream 2 und dem staatlichen russischen Energiekonzern Rosneft hält. Es müssten alle Aspekte der Zusammenarbeit Schröders mit Putin aufgedeckt werden. Allerdings sei der SPD-Politiker nur eine Person. "Die Schröderisiering ist ein Phänomen, das viele westliche Länder betrifft", sagte Kasparow. "Wir müssen mehr über Putins Helfer aufdecken."
Mit Blick auf die landesweiten Proteste in Russland für eine Freilassung Nawalnys sagte der Kremlkritiker Wladimir Kara-Mursa, vor allem junge Leute hätten keine Angst mehr vor Putin und seiner Führung. "Dies wird weitergehen", sagte er. "Die Menschen sind bereit, ihm eine Botschaft zu schicken, dass sie genug haben."
In einer beispiellosen Protestwelle demonstrierten Zehntausende Menschen in ganz Russland für die Freilassung Nawalnys und gegen Präsident Wladimir Putin demonstriert. "Freiheit für Nawalny!" und "Putin, uchodi!" - zu Deutsch: "Putin, hau ab!", skandierten die Menschen in Dutzenden Städten im flächenmäßig größten Land der Erde. Die Proteste vom äußersten Osten des Landes bis nach Kaliningrad an der Ostsee richteten sich gegen die politische Verfolgung Andersdenkender. In Moskau kam es zu Zusammenstößen der Polizei mit Demonstranten. Es gab Dutzende Verletzte. Bürgerrechtler zählten bis zum Abend landesweit mehr als 2200 Festnahmen.
Demonstrationen auch in Berlin und Düsseldorf
Auch in Berlin demonstrierten und 2000 Menschen für Nawalny. Der Protestzug "Freiheit für Nawalny" zog an der russischen Botschaft vorbei und endete vor dem Brandenburger Tor. Der Ablauf sei "störungsfrei" gewesen, sagte ein Polizeisprecher. Auch in Düsseldorf demonstrierten auf dem Marktplatz 200 Menschen. Nach Angaben der Polizei war die Kundgebung zunächst mit 100 Teilnehmern angemeldet worden. Die Demonstration verlaufe friedlich und störungsfrei, hieß es von der Polizei während des Verlaufs. Auch die Corona-Abstandsregeln würden eingehalten.
Der Oppositionsführer war am Montag nach seiner Rückkehr aus Deutschland bei Moskau in einem umstrittenen Eilverfahren zu 30 Tagen Haft verurteilt worden war. Nawalny soll gegen Meldeauflagen in einem früheren Strafverfahren verstoßen haben, während er sich in Deutschland von einem Anschlag mit dem Nervengift Nowitschok erholte. Der 44-Jährige sieht das Vorgehen der Justiz als politisch motiviert an. Ihm drohen viele Jahre Gefängnis - sowie mehrere Gerichtsverfahren.

|
Luxemburgs Außenminister nannte Donald Trump nach dem Sturm auf das US-Kapitol einen Kriminellen. US-Außenminister Pompeo sagte kurz darauf seinen Besuch ab – angeblich weil ihn niemand treffen wolle.
Luxemburgs Außenminister Jean Asselborn war erstaunt, als er am Dienstagabend kurz vor dem Abendessen eine Meldung der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters las. Der scheidende US-Außenminister Mike Pompeo habe, hieß es dort mit Verweis auf europäische Diplomaten, eine Reise nach Europa unter anderem deswegen abgesagt, weil sich Asselborn einem Treffen mit ihm verweigert habe.
Asselborn wollte die Meldung auf Anfrage nicht kommentieren, er machte im Gespräch mit dem SPIEGEL aber deutlich, dass es keine Absage gegeben habe. Demnach hat nicht Asselborn ein Treffen mit Pompeo ausgeschlossen, sondern der US-Außenminister entschied sich offenbar selbst, seinen Abstecher nach Luxemburg zu canceln.
»Politischer Pyromane, der vor Gericht gestellt werden muss«
Ursprünglich hatte Pompeo vorgehabt, vor der Vereidigung des neuen US-Präsidenten Joe Biden am 20. Januar eine letzte Reise nach Europa zu unternehmen. Stationen sollten Brüssel und Luxemburg sein. Doch bereits am Sonntagabend teilte die auch für Luxemburg zuständige US-Botschaft in Brüssel auf diplomatischen Kanälen mit, dass Pompeo das Großherzogtum nicht besuchen werde.
Über die Gründe der Absage konnte man in der Luxemburger Regierung zunächst nur spekulieren. Die Vermutung lag nahe, dass es mit der Kritik des Luxemburger Außenministers an den Ereignissen von Washington zu tun hatte. Nachdem Trump zum Widerstand gegen das Wahlergebnis aufgerufen hatte und seine Anhänger das Kapitol in Washington gestürmt hatten, hatte Asselborn den scheidenden US-Präsidenten scharf kritisiert. Die Bilder zeigten, »dass Donald Trump ein Krimineller ist«, sagte Asselborn dem Luxemburger Sender RTL direkt nach der Kapitol-Erstürmung. Trump sei ein »politischer Pyromane, der vor Gericht gestellt werden muss«.
In Brüssel wollte keiner mehr Pompeo sprechen
Am Dienstagmorgen berichtete die »New York Times«, dass Pompeo seine letzte Auslandsreise abgesagt habe. Er habe Luxemburg aus Ärger über Asselborns Äußerungen aus seinem Terminkalender gestrichen, deutete die Zeitung an. Asselborn sagte dem SPIEGEL, es wundere ihn nicht, dass Pompeo den Besuch in Luxemburg abgesagt habe. Der Außenminister des kleinen Landes freut sich über die vielen positiven Reaktionen, die er seitdem aus der ganzen Welt erhält und die seine klare Haltung gegenüber Trump loben.
Den Besuch in Brüssel bei EU und Nato hielt Pompeo noch ein paar Tage aufrecht, der scheidende US-Außenminister wolle damit die tiefe Partnerschaft zwischen den USA und Belgien und die unerschütterliche US-Unterstützung für die Nato bekräftigen, teilte das State Department mit.
Doch dann wurde auch dieser Teil der Reise am Dienstag gestrichen – und damit die letzte Auslandsreise von Trumps Chefdiplomat. Angeblich fanden sich bei Nato und EU nicht genug Gesprächspartner, die noch mit dem US-Außenminister sprechen wollten.

Jose Mourinho said he was confident Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg would be fit for Tottenham’s FA Cup clash with Marine this weekend, despite the midfielder coming off with a nasty-looking cut to his shin in the side’s 2-0 win over Brentford on Tuesday night.
Spurs secured their place in the final of the Carabao Cup thanks to goals from Moussa Sissoko and Son Heung-min and Hojbjerg’s injury in the dying moments at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium put a slight dampener on the hosts’ evening.
Referee Mike Dean showed Josh Dasilva a straight red card for the reckless challenge on Hojbjerg – having checked with VAR – and Japhet Tanganga came on to replace the Denmark international for the final four minutes of the semi-final.
Mourinho would have been sweating over the severity of the injury given Tottenham’s busy schedule over the coming weeks but Hojbjerg is expected to make a speedy recovery.
The former Southampton star and could even feature on Sunday when the Premier League giants travel to Marine in the third round of the FA Cup.
‘It was for sure a bad tackle because he is bleeding a lot and the shin pad is broken, that is football,’ the Tottenham head coach said at his post-match press conference.
‘Dasilva is a young guy and a good player so in the heat of the game there is nothing to be critical of.
‘Mike Dean made the decision on VAR so everything is fine and correct.
‘Pierre has a big cut but he didn’t even want me to play Tanganga in the last five minutes so I believe he can be okay for the weekend.’
Dasilva vowed to ‘learn’ from the experience on Twitter and the Brentford midfielder got a lovely response from Hojbjerg, who joked he was owed a new shin pad.
‘Anyone that knows me, knows it was never intentional… will learn from this,’ Dasilva tweeted.
Hojbjerg replied: ‘Of course you didn’t mean it. So don’t worry. I’m a viking and I am fine. But… you owe me a new shin pad.
‘You have a great future ahead @joshdasilva_ . Be strong & keep working hard. Best of luck to you and your team. Big hug, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.’
Hojbjerg’s gruesome gash was stil visible as he shared a celebratory picture from the home dressing room after Spurs moved to within a game of their first trophy in 13 years with the victory.
‘Ready for the Carabao Cup FINAL!!’ said.

The European Union must agree on a target date for reaching herd immunity against Covid-19, an adviser to Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said on Tuesday.
Nausėda is planning to raise the issue at the European Council's meeting on Thursday.
“After consulting experts, the president sees a strong need for a very clear EU-level target for achieving herd immunity,” Simonas Krėpšta, Nausėda's chief economic and social policy adviser, told reporters after the president's meeting with a group of health experts advising him on the pandemic.
“In the president's opinion, we should set a realistic but very ambitious target date for securing enough vaccines to vaccinate about two-thirds of the population,” the adviser said, adding that Nausėda was planning to raise this issue at the EU summit.
In Lithuania, 50,900 people, or 1.82 percent of the population, had received their first coronavirus vaccine shots by Tuesday morning, while 2,640 had been given the second jab.

Coronavirus and security concerns will shape Biden's inaugural celebrations
US Presidential inaugurations are usually steeped in tradition, but Joe Biden's 2021 ceremony is set to be like no other.
It comes fresh off of an unprecedented attack on the Washington DC Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters and the country is fighting its highest rates of coronavirus to date.
Anxieties were heightened further on Jan 18, when an inauguration rehearsal was interrupted by a false alarm, as plumes of smoke were detected near the Capitol building. In the rehearsal, spectators were ushered from the west front of the Capitol, while the officials declared it was "not a drill".
It later emerged that the smoke was from a fire in a homeless encampment approximately one mile away.
For these reasons, the Biden-Harris administration have scaled back celebrations and reinforced security in and around the Capitol area.
To find out everything that will be different about Mr Biden's inauguration day, and how it compares to past inaugurations, watch the video above.

Motorist who blamed dying wife for speeding tickets labelled...

A businessman who tried to avoid more than a dozen speeding tickets by blaming his dying wife and elderly members of his family has been called “callous” by police after he was given a suspended prison sentence.
Andrew Laird, 51, of Fryton, near Malton, North Yorkshire, was prosecuted after he received 16 speeding tickets from a number of police forces.
North Yorkshire Police said Laird claimed he was not behind the wheel on any of these occasions.
He said others were behind the wheel, including his wife, who was unable to drive at the time due to a very serious illness and has since died, a force spokesman said.
Laird pretended two other family members were driving on other occasions, including one elderly relative who was also unable to drive due to a serious medical condition.
The spokesman said the defendant went as far as renewing the elderly relative’s driving licence in 2018, despite their medical condition having prevented them from driving for a number of years.
Laird admitted 16 counts of perverting the course of justice and one of fraud, committed between 2015 and 2018, and was sentenced at York Crown Court on Friday.
The Recorder of York, Judge Sean Morris, jailed him for two years, suspended for 12 months, court officials confirmed.
But Laird avoided disqualification due to exceptional circumstances, after the judge heard he had been through a difficult time.
The convictions mean he can no longer work as a financial adviser, which was one of his business interests, the police said.
Detective Sergeant Kirsten Aldridge said: “It’s sickening that Laird deliberately targeted the most vulnerable members of his family – those who could not speak up for themselves. We hope this has given them a voice.
“The court heard how Laird had been going through a difficult time, but nevertheless his actions were callous and calculated.
“It’s difficult to imagine how anyone with morals could implicate vulnerable loved ones in this way.
“Laird was put before the courts as a result of a significant police investigation. And while it’s disappointing that his conviction for these serious offences did not result in a custodial sentence today, this case speaks volumes about the defendant.”

Vilniaus trumpųjų filmų festivalio specialiąją programą „Europos istorijos“ dar visą antradienį galima atrasti LRT Mediatekoje. „Tai – kelionė po Europą ir po temas, kurios rūpi jaunam žmogui. Daugumoje filmų fiksuojamas vidinis moters pasaulis ir brandos etapas“, – LRT.lt teigia „Kūrybiškos Europos“ biuro Lietuvoje MEDIA skyriaus koordinatorė Austėja Milvydaitė.
Programoje pristatomi filmai – patyrusių Europos kino gamybos kompanijų ir naujų talentų bendradarbiavimo rezultatas, pasiektas kartu su Europos Sąjungos programos „Kūrybiška Europa“ paprogramės MEDIA parama, tad, kaip teigia pašnekovė, „visi šitie filmai jau įveikę vertinimo kartelę“.
Nors MEDIA parama trumpametražiams filmams skiriama nuo 2017 metų ir pasirinkimas nebuvo toks jau didelis, A. Milvydaitė teigė rinkdama filmus galvojusi apie europietiško kino mėgėjų skonį.
Keturių festivalius apskriejusių filmų programą sudaro valandos trukmės kelionė po Europą ir jaunų kūrėjų pasaulius. „Kiekvieno filmo centre – moterys, jos myli, pavydi, išduoda ir užauga. Skirtingi žanrai ir kino kalbos nukelia į absurdiškas situacijas, vasarišką kaitrą ir painius santykius“, – teigia Vilniaus tarptautinio trumpųjų filmų festivalio kitų – konkursinių – programų sudarymo asistentė Ieva Šukytė.
Olandų režisierės Zara`os Dwinger šiuolaikiškai interpretuota Williamo Shakespeare`o tragedija virto filmu „Julija ir Džuljeta“. Tai – istorija apie tai, kaip dvi paauglės pamilsta viena kitą nepilnamečių pataisos kolonijoje.
„Šiame filme keliamos tokios problemos kaip brendimas esant sudėtingoms sąlygoms, savęs suvokimas, pirmoji meilė. Ryški tema – pirmoji meilė kaip viską užvaldantis jausmas, svarbiausia būti kartu. Ta pirmoji meilė, kai ne tiek esi net sau svarbus, kaip svarbu palaikyti santykį su kitu“, – komentuoja A. Milvydaitė.
„Tragedijos interpretacijoje nerasime Romeo, o vietoj Kapulečių ir Montekių meilei kelią pastos nepilnamečių pataisos kolonijos sienos. Klaustrofobiški kadrai, vaizduojantys suspaustas pataisos namų erdves, slapti bučiniai, nematant prižiūrėtojams, atkuria paauglišką dviejų merginų meilę“, – mintimis dalijasi I. Šukytė.
Ispanų režisierės Lucía`os Aleñar Iglesias drama „Svetimšalė“ pristatyta Kanų kino festivalio „Kritikų savaitės“ programoje. Vasarodama Maljorkoje Antonija supranta turinti slaptų panašumų į mirusią močiutę ir galios senelio atžvilgiu. Ji negali atsispirti persirenginėjimo žaidimams, tačiau darosi nebeaišku, kas į ką įsigyvena.
A. Milvydaitė atkreipė dėmesį, jog šio filmo tempas gana lėtas – jame atskleidžiami daugiau vidiniai įvykiai. „Vizualiai labai gražus filmas, jame atskleistas vidinis veikėjos pasaulis, tyrinėjimas, susitapatinimas su kitomis giminės moterimis, virsmas iš mergaitės į moterį, galios suvokimo momentas“, – vardina pašnekovė.
I. Šukytė atkreipia dėmesį, kad pastelinių vasariškų spalvų paletė „Svetimšalėje“ pamažu keičiasi į rusvą, kuomet Antonija, apsivilkusi mirusios močiutės suknelę, į ją įsikūnija. „Tylesnė nei jos sesuo, ji nesijaučia taip patogiai šalia kitų paauglių. Persirenginėdama ji sužadina senus senelio prisiminimus. „Coming-of-age“ pasakojime, primenančiame indie filmų kino kalbą, paauglė per atostogas supras, kas ji yra iš tiesų“, – apibendrina I. Šukytė.
Suomių kūrėjo Lauri-Matti Parppei vaidybinis filmas „Tylios kaip žudikės“ pasakoja apie dvi geriausias drauges Miną ir Iną, leidžiančias paskutinę vasarą kartu, jos dirba sodininkėmis. Naktimis jos įsmunka į svetimus namus, kol jų gyventojai miega. Deja, vasara netrukus baigsis ir rudenį Ina išsikraustys.
„Tai – paskutinis bandymas įprasminti prabėgantį laiką, tik šis bandymas pasisuka tokia įdomia linkme. Šiame filme taip pat veikiama negalvojant apie pasekmes“, – teigia A. Milvydaitė. „Kūrybiškos Europos“ biuro Lietuvoje MEDIA skyriaus koordinatorė filmą apibūdina kaip turintį suomiškam kinui būdingų savybių: „Jie nebijo, kad nesuprasime herojų ar jų elgesio motyvų.“
I. Šukytė šį filmą mato kaip tam tikrą švelnesnę Michaelio Haneke`ės „Pakvaišusių žaidimų“ versiją: „Naktiniai nuotykiai pasiturinčių vidurinės klasės žmonių namuose, skambant įtampą keliančiai muzikai, kuria nenuspėjamą katės ir pelės gaudynių siužetą. Tačiau kas yra kas, sužinosime tik paskutinę minutę.“
Dar vienas programos kūrinys – ironiškas, daugybę pasaulio festivalių apkeliavęs režisierių dueto Michaela`os Mihalyi ir Davido Stumpfo animacinis filmas suaugusiesiems „Visi apsi_ika“. Nuo visko pervargęs ūkvedys, jo nepatenkinta žmona ir vienas visiškai užsidepresavęs elnias. Juos siejanti neviltis lemia absurdiškus įvykius.
Anot A. Milvydaitės, šis filmas – beprasmybės realybėje atspindys. „Angliškas pavadinimas – Sh*t happens – akcentuoja, kad visko būna, gal nereikia per rimtai priimti savo realybės. Kūrėjai ironiškai vaizduoja rutiną, personifikuoja gyvūnėlius“, – pristato A. Milvydaitė.
Anot jos, tai ir vizualiai labai įdomus filmas. „Ką daro Vilniaus trumpųjų filmų festivalis, tai griauna stereotipą, kad animacinis filmas, net ir ryškių spalvų, spalvingas, skirtas būtinai vaikams. Visai ne“, – džiaugiasi pašnekovė.
I. Šukytė šią animaciją apibūdina kaip modernių dienų „Titaniką“ arba ūkvedžio paskandintos meilės istoriją: „2D pieštinė animacija per absurdą ir juodą humorą žvelgia į trijų nelaimingų, rutinoje paskendusių to pačio namo gyventojų gyvenimą.“ Festivalių numylėtinis – Venecijos, Sandanso, Klermono-Ferano ir kt. kino festivaliuose rodytas filmas atveria šių dienų žmonių problemas, į kurias „galima žvelgti tik per absurdą, trankią muziką ir su vyno buteliu“.
A. Milvydaitės teigimu, atrinktieji filmai atspindi kultūrinę įvairovę, Europos daugiakultūriškumą, demokratines vertybes. Bet ryškiausiai vaidybinių filmų trejetukas reprezentuoja temas, kurios rūpi jaunam Europos žmogui.
„Tos temos yra ganėtinai universalios, jaunas žmogus pakankamai kosmopolitiškas, todėl nėra vienos kultūros atspindžio, kalbama apie universalias vertybes ir temas. Tai autorinis kinas – matyti ir paties autoriaus požiūrio taškas, jo individuali kino kalba“, – LRT.lt tvirtino A. Milvydaitė.

Dr Biden is often described as Joe Biden's biggest defender and one of his most trusted political advisers
Jill Biden spent eight years serving as the Second Lady during the Obama administration, but her highly personal nine-minute live address at the Democratic Convention last August, from an empty classroom at the high school where she used to teach, was her first formal introduction to most of the American public.
Now, as America counts down the days until the inauguration of her husband Joe Biden, Dr Biden looks set to redefine the role of First Lady, as she will be the first to have a full-time paid job outside the White House.
A self-professed introvert, Dr Biden has always been reticent about entering the political spotlight, although she is often described as Joe Biden's biggest defender and one of his best assets. She is also said to be one of his most trusted political advisers, reportedly playing a pivotal role in helping Mr Biden narrow down his list of potential running mates.
“Are you ready?” she tweeted Kamala Harris's husband Douglas Emhoff, in a message of support after the California senator was named as the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
She knows better than anyone the importance of a strong bond between the First and Second spouse: the fast friendship between herself and Michelle Obama was said to be as strong as their husbands’ famed "bromance", leading them to team up on education initiatives and the Joining Forces programme to support military families.
“Jill is not just brilliant, but she is kind. She is very funny, and she is one of the strongest people I know,” Mrs Obama said during their final joint event in office. “And I love and admire her with all my heart.”
Before Dr Biden’s convention address, Mrs Obama paid tribute to her “partner-in-crime” in an Instagram post, saying: “There’s not a doubt in my mind that Jill will make a wonderful First Lady.”

The role, as Mrs Obama knows, is an odd one: while an unelected position, it can prove crucial to reaching voting groups a candidate cannot themselves.
While the intensely private Mrs Trump has made only rare, enigmatic appearances on stage with her husband, and was caught up in plagiarism allegations after her 2016 campaign speech, Dr Biden has been happy to tackle difficult questions about her husband’s record during the rounds on morning TV interviews, offering the American public a glimpse of the kind of First Lady she would make.
The 69 year-old first caught the attention of voters during the election campaign when she rushed to protect her 78-year-old husband after vegan protesters rushed on stage towards him during a comeback speech in Los Angeles in March. But during their 43-year-marriage, she has not always been supportive of her husband’s presidential ambitions.

She has previously recounted how in 2004, when Mr Biden was under pressure to run for the White House, she was dead set against the idea. So much so that when a group of supporters showed up at their home in Delaware to convince Mr Biden to put himself forward, she walked into the room in nothing but a bikini with "no" written on her stomach.
"That got his attention. I won’t tell you who was sitting in that room, but they got the message,” she told Vogue earlier this year.
Her opinion on the matter changed, however, when George W Bush won re-election in 2004. Such was her disappointment in the result that she wore black for a week. When she finally came out of mourning over the election outcome, she urged her husband to run in 2008.

As well as championing Mr Biden’s political career, she has been protective over her own: breaking with tradition to continue teaching English full-time at a community college amid her eight years as Second Lady during Barack Obama’s administration, believed to make her the first to hold a paid job while in the role.
Even with the added responsibility her role as First Lady will bring, Dr Biden has made clear she has no plans to stop working.
“Being a teacher is not what I do but who I am,” she wrote in her 2019 memoir, Where the Light Enters, describing “scrambling into a cocktail dress and heels” in the school bathroom to make it to a White House reception, or grading papers on Air Force Two, with relish.
Dr Biden, who earned four degrees while raising her family, including a doctorate in education from the University of Delaware, said she intends to continue teaching alongside her duties as First Lady if her husband makes it to the White House.
It was from a Delaware high school where she taught in the Nineties that she offered the emotive address during the virtual Democratic National Convention, promising that classrooms across the country “will ring out with laughter and possibility once again” if her husband becomes president.
In his victory speech on November 7, her husband said: "For American educators this is a great day for y'all. You are going to have one of your own in the White House."

The address also touched on the Biden family's encounters with tragedy, with Dr Biden describing how she met the family after Mr Biden's first wife and infant daughter were killed in a car crash in 1972, leaving him to raise his three- and four-year old sons, Beau and Hunter, alone.
There will be many Americans hoping that Joe Biden's presidency brings about a political reset, and some much needed hope, after a tumultuous year for the country.
Dr Biden seemed to acknowledge this sentiment in her New Year's Day message, tweeting: "Let this be a year of healing, as we come together stronger, a new understanding of what it means to be whole."
The pair were introduced on a blind date in 1975, and married in 1977. Though Joe had to propose five times before she said yes: having married young and divorced by 24, she said she had to be “100 per cent sure this marriage would last until death do us part,” so his sons didn’t lose another mother.
She went on to raise the boys as her own, alongside Ashley, the daughter she had with Joe in 1981. But tragedy struck the Biden family again in 2015, when Beau died from brain cancer.

In her speech, Jill drew parallels with her husband’s experience leading his family through personal adversity and what she described as his ability to lead the nation through its current crises, telling viewers that his “strength of will is unstoppable.”
The speech marked a considerable evolution for the initially-reluctant political wife.
In her memoir, she writes of having no desire to “give any speeches, anytime, anywhere – just the thought of doing so made me so nervous I felt sick.”
She became one of her husband’s most prominent surrogates on last years campaign trail, regularly appearing in virtual events, headlining town halls and holding calls with supporters.
However, her inner circle have pushed back on the suggestion she serves as a political adviser, insisting that their relationship is far more nuanced.
“He’s got plenty of political advisers. That’s not what she is,” said Cathy Russell, who was Dr Biden’s chief of staff during the Obama administration and a vice chair on the campaign. “She is his spouse, and she loves him, and she talks to him about all sorts of things, but she has a unique role, and it’s not being a political adviser. That’s not her thing.”
Dr Biden's convention address also showcased her more personal side, detailing her love for running as well as her mischievous sense of fun, with her grandchildren recounting anecdotes involving her practical jokes.
Her speech even won plaudits from Republicans, including senator Lindsey Graham, a key ally of Donald Trump. "Jill Biden did a very good job representing herself and Joe in the causes they believe in. She’s an outstanding person who has led a consequential life," he tweeted.
The 69-year-old’s biggest fan is undoubtedly Joe, who often proudly refers to himself as “Jill Biden’s husband” – and introduced himself as such when he bounded onto the screen to congratulate her at the end of her live address; his first official appearance since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee.
“Just think of your favourite educator who gave you the confidence to believe in yourself, that’s the kind of First Lady Jill will be,” he told the audience.
Her pitch to voters was a pledge to fix the “broken” American family. If the rave reviews of her address are any measure, she has already won many hearts.

ABD başkanlığına seçilen Joe Biden, Obama döneminde görev yapmış isimleri özellikle Rusya ve İran konularıyla ilgilenmeleri için ulusal güvenlik ekibine katmayı planlıyor.
New York Times gazetesinin haberine göre, Biden'ın, eski Dışişleri Bakanı John Kerry'nin özel kalemi Jon Finer'i ulusal güvenlik danışmanı yardımcısı, Obama döneminde İran nükleer müzakerelerini yürüten Wendy Sherman'ı ise dışişleri bakanı yardımcısı yapması bekleniyor.
Sherman'ın, bu göreve getirilmesi durumunda Trump yönetimin çekildiği İran nükleer anlaşmasına geri dönülmesinde önemli rol oynayacağı kaydediliyor.
Rusya'ya karşı sert bir tutum alması beklenen Biden'ın, Dışişleri Bakanlığında Rusya ile ilişkileri yürüten eski kariyer diplomatı Victoria Nuland'ı ise siyasi işlerden sorumlu müsteşarlık görevine getireceği belirtiliyor.
Nuland, Rusya Devlet Başkanı Vladimir Putin'e sert eleştiriler yönelten bir isim olarak öne çıkıyor.
Biden'ın ayrıca eski ABD Başkanı Barack Obama’nın DEAŞ ile Mücadele Özel Temsilcisi Brett McGurk'ü Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika masasının başına getirmesi tahmin ediliyor.

Über 90 Minuten sind die Berliner im heimischen Olympiastadion die bessere Mannschaft. Doch die Bremer sind an diesem Abend eiskalt und bringen fast jeden Schuss im Tor unter. Das Spiel könnte bei Hertha weitreichende personelle Konsequenzen haben.
Der SV Werder Bremen verschärft durch einen deutlichen Auswärtssieg bei Hertha BSC die Krise bei den Berlinern. Die Zukunft von Trainer Bruno Labbadia ist nach dem 1:4 (1:2) gegen die Norddeutschen ungewisser denn je. Die "Bild"-Zeitung meldete - ohne Quellen - nach Abpfiff, dass das Aus von Labbadia beschlossen sei. Trotz klarer Überlegenheit mussten sich die Berliner im Olympiastadion deutlich geschlagen geben und warten nach der zweiten Heimniederlage binnen vier Tagen nur knapp vor der Abstiegszone seit vier Spielen auf einen Sieg. Den Bremern gelang mit dem Sieg zugleich die erfolgreiche Revanche für die 1:4-Heimniederlage gegen Hertha zum Auftakt der Saison.
Der ehemalige Herthaner Davie Selke (10. Minute) per Foulelfmeter, Ömer Toprak (29.), Leonardo Bittencourt (56.) und Joshua Sargent (78.) erzielten zum Rückrunden-Auftakt der Fußball-Bundesliga die Tore für Werder. Durch den clever wie effizient herausgespielten Sieg schoben sich die Grün-Weißen auf Platz zwölf vor. Für die Hertha konnte Jhon Cordoba (45.+2) in der Nachspielzeit der ersten Hälfte nur verkürzen. Matheus Cunha (20.) scheiterte mit einem Foulelfmeter an Werder-Schlussmann Jiri Pavlenka. Hertha bleibt somit vorerst zwei Punkte vor dem Relegationsrang auf Platz 14 und ist meilenweit von den eigenen Ansprüchen entfernt.
Rund 250 Hertha-Fans hatten vor dem Anpfiff vor dem Olympiastadion für eine Ablösung von Manager Michael Preetz und Präsident Werner Gegenbauer demonstriert. In ihrer extrem negativen Grundstimmung musste sich die kleine Oppositionsgruppe durch den Spielverlauf schnell bestätigt fühlen. Für die Berliner ging wieder einmal alles schief. Maximilian Mittelstädt holte unnötig Romano Schmidt von den Beinen. Ausgerechnet Selke, von der Hertha im Vorjahr nach Bremen abgeschoben, verwandelte den Strafstoß sicher. Später musste der Angreifer mit bandagiertem Oberschenkel vom Platz.
Cunha versuchte, das Hertha-Spiel anzukurbeln, bestätigte aber auch seinen Ruf als Mini-Neymar. Theatralisch wälzte er sich nach einem Foulspiel von Bittencourt (15.). Jean-Manuel Mbom gab dem Brasilianer kurz darauf im Strafraum einen Schubser. Selbstbewusst schnappte sich der Gefoulte den Ball, verschoss den Strafstoß aber ebenso wie jüngst Krzysztof Piatek beim 0:3 gegen Hoffenheim.
Mehr Ballbesitz, klare optische Überlegenheit - all das nutzte nichts. Denn Toprak entwischte Lucas Tousart beim Eckball und köpfte mit der zweiten Bremer Chance zum zweiten Tor ein. Labbadia konnte sich nur die wie immer bestens gelegten Haare raufen. Kurz vor der Pause kam aber noch das Hoffnungszeichen: Cordoba wuchtete einen Kopfball ins Tor. 325 Minuten torlose Hertha-Zeit waren beendet.
Die Berliner starteten schwungvoll in die zweite Halbzeit. Cunha (47.) bot sich gleich eine Chance zum Ausgleich. Sein Schuss war aber nicht platziert genug. Wie es geht, zeigte wenig später Bittencourt. Elegant nahm er den Ball im Drehen an und schob zum 3:1 ein. Ein Nackenschlag für die Berliner, die die Offensive weiter verstärkten. Erneut Cunha (66.) konnte aber eine klare Chance nicht nutzen. Cordoba (74.) köpfte zu zentral. Bremen legte durch Sargents Fernschuss nach und brachte den Sieg routiniert über die Zeit.

During four years of reporting on US politics, I saw the outgoing President at his dazzling best and terrifying worst
|
During four years of reporting on US politics, I saw the outgoing President at his dazzling best and terrifying worst
It’s been strange this past week. I have woken up alone. Sure, there has been birdsong outside my bedroom window, but no Donald Trump tweets to wake up to next to me. The alert I receive on my phone every time his thumbs get busy is redundant; the messages I receive at random times at all hours of the night, gone. It’s been the permanent accompaniment to my life – and virtually every other Washington journalist I know – these past four years. But no longer. Life seems a bit monochrome, to be honest. My bedroom feels empty.
In medieval times they cut out your tongue for lying. This is the social media, algorithm-driven, 21st century, tech world equivalent.
The storming of Congress by Trump supporters on January 6 was simultaneously one of the most shocking things I have reported on, and yet the most predictable; inevitable even. For four years Trump has denigrated the institutions of government, whenever lawmakers or the judiciary did something he didn’t like. He has fuelled the suspicion in his supporters that there is something rotten at the heart of Washington.
I had been at the rally outside the White House where the president addressed the crowds a couple of hours earlier. I have lost count how many of his events I have attended. The first was in Dallas in 2015, 15 months before the presidential election. I guess he had pulled in an audience of around 20,000. And though this was an older crowd, they had the excitement of teenagers going to see a boy band.
The thing that Trump critics miss is that he is a great entertainer. He stands on stage, and he plays his audience brilliantly. He is funny. He will read from the teleprompter and if he senses he is losing his audience, he will junk the prepared text, and go wherever his mind takes him. There is jeopardy. He takes risks. Sometimes it is brilliant; occasionally catastrophic. And his audience love it.
Initially, the admiration for Trump from his base was that though he wasn’t perfect, might not always tell the whole truth, might be a bit ‘naughty’, he stood up for them; he would be their champion. The outsiders, who felt neglected by the Washington elite, had a knight in shining armour – with a bit of tarnish around the edges.
But this month, I realised that something has changed. Watching the crowd at the rally on the White House, I realised there is a cult-like devotion. The only truth that existed came from the lips of Trump and his most loyal acolytes, so any argument you put that Joe Biden had won fair and square was met with total incredulity – and fury.
It has been described as America’s darkest day; the day when the beacon of democracy for the rest of the world was nearly extinguished, as rioters ran amok, defiling the most sacred sanctum of American democracy. We’ve all seen scenes like this in third world, tin pot regimes. But in America?
Some have sought to argue that what unfolded on January 6 and the days leading up to it was the system working. The attempts led by Trump to have the results overturned had failed. He had bent and bent the fragile constitution to breaking point, but when it looked like it was going to snap, the safety mechanisms – the much-vaunted checks and balances – kicked in; the strength and durability of American democracy had prevailed.
What is easy to forget is how close it came. What if the VP, Mike Pence, had gone along with the president’s demands not to certify the results? Ditto the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell – both of whom had hitherto shown all the backbone towards Trump of cooked spaghetti. What if the Secretary of State in Georgia had acceded to the president’s slightly menacing demands (that we’ve all now heard the recording of) to “recalculate” the ballots and given him the extra 11,780 votes that he needed to win? What if a lowly Michigan official had bent to the president’s will and refused to certify Joe Biden’s comfortable victory in the state?
Or to put it another way, does American democracy rely on a handful of people doing the right thing to survive – even though it is at huge personal cost to themselves, when surrender would have been easier? The Georgia election official needed security 24/7 as a result of standing up to the president – an action that has resulted in multiple death threats.
The other thing about the 2020 election is that it wasn’t even that close. Biden polled millions more votes, and won the electoral college easily. This wasn’t JFK’s squeaky tight win of 1960 (when there almost certainly was widespread fraud) or 2000 (when it all came down to a few votes in Florida). But what if it had been really tight? Then the pressure on state officials from the president might have been irresistible.
What we saw on January 6 was a massive security failure. Heads will roll, and I suspect that Capitol Hill will become much more militarised, just like the White House estate.
But the real fragility of American democracy was properly on show in the weeks leading up to that day. There was a coup attempt which was thwarted, thanks to a few heroes acting on principle. But it was a close run thing.

Father of two boys killed in Dubbo pays emotional visit to crash scene

The devastated dad of two young boys allegedly mowed down by an out-of-control, un-licensed driver, has made an emotional visit to the scene of the crash.
Jacob Dunn, 25, allegedly performed burnouts in a Holden sedan he was not licensed to drive, before losing control and ploughing into a group of five.
Sheldon, 6, and Shane Shorey, 7, were killed instantly while walking home in Wellington, near Dubbo, from the local pool on Wednesday.
Their mother Shayleen Frail, 34, was trapped up against a fence by the Holden, while a 10-year-old family friend had his leg ripped apart by the force of the terrible crash.
Mark, 9, the older brother to Sheldon and Shane, somehow escaped without serious injury.
Their father, Joseph Shorey, making a brave visit to the scene, told media gathered he had a very simple message for hoons: 'It's not cool, and it's left two of my sons dead.'
Confronting pictures show Mr Shorey with his head in his hands after arriving with friends and family, before falling to his knees and inspecting the tributes from locals.
Balloons, teddy bears and flowers adorned the tragic scene, with the local community in tatters over the deaths - which saw neighbours rush to free the trapped family from under a car.
With three kids lying badly injured on the road and the mother of two boys trapped up against a fence, neighbours on Warne Street rushed in to help.
Longtime local resident Brendan Stanley, 50, was standing out the front of his home on Warne St when Donn allegedly lost control of his vehicle and killed the two boys.
He told Daily Mail Australia how in the minutes that followed before paramedics and police arrived, other residents in the neighbourhood sprinted to help - needing a car jack to raise the Holden so that could pull the boys free.
'I was saying to him, don't go driving without a licence but he hit a fence and that is when the spoiler must have come off and then he lost control, and he come up on the footpath and it just went "bang".
'I was just screaming "Oh no, no, f**k. I couldn’t see anyone standing up, I couldn’t see the kids. I just ran inside and got the phone.'
Mr Stanley called the ambulance, police and then the air helicopter, realising that it was a critical situation.
When he returned there were already locals trying to lift the car off the Sheldon and Shane, and their friend, while their mother Shayleen was pinned against the fence.
'I ran down and they were trying to lift it and I was on the phone saying we need the police and ambulance here quick,' Mr Stanley said.
'One little fella, I knew he was dead, the other little fella he was pinned up the front. I helped to lift up the car and we freed one little fella, his leg was barely hanging on.
'I can still see the little boys pinned under the car, we got the car jack and one of the other young blokes who helped out, he did a fantastic job, I take me hat off to him.
'The first little brother we got out, they took him away, but I knew he was dead.'
Police allege that in the moments after the crash Donn fled the scene.
His girlfriend Glenys Honeysett however did not, rushing to help Mr Stanley and the other men as they tried to rescue the boys.
After driving through the night from his home in Queensland, Mr Shorey and family members visited the crash site late on Wednesday.
They hugged, cried, laughed, prayed and played some of the boys' favourite music.
Afterwards he bravely spoke about his two sons, remembering their precious lives that were cut short.
He also hit out at the allegations Doon was doing burnouts and donuts in the street in the moments before the crash, telling hoon drivers: 'It's not cool'.
'That is not cool, all you young fellas out there doing that, it's not cool, because there are consequences if you do something stupid and wrong,' Mr Shorey said.
'Don't drive around stupid, drive around smart. You want to do donuts go and join a race club and do them there. Don't do them on the streets.
'The consequence to me yesterday was me losing my two babies.
'Sheldon's only six, he'll be seven next month on the 12th. Shane was only seven, he was turning eight on Friday... two more days.'
Mr Shorey's oldest son Mark did not know about the deaths of his brothers until his father told him on Wednesday morning.
The former mine worker said it was the hardest thing he's ever had to do.
'When I found out where Mark was... I found out he was in Orange (Base Hospital), I found out he was OK,' he said.
'I asked the nurse "Does he know that his brothers passed on?" She said no and I said "I want to be the one to tell him".
'I did not know how to do that. That is something you don't want to do. That was the hardest thing, because he's already traumatised because he saw what happened to his brothers.
'He's in pain, he can hardly walk now, he's scared.'
Earlier on Wednesday, Mr Shorey told Daily Mail Australia of his fond memories with his two boys.
He had last seen his sons on Monday where they told him they loved him and would see him in just a few weeks upon their return to Queensland.
'I only saw them the day before and they gave me big hugs and cuddles and said: "Dad, we love you, we'll see you on the 17th",' Mr Shorey said.
'Now I've lost my two youngest boys.
'Sheldon was a little show off, always being like 'look at me, look at me', but he's a little cutey, all the girls loved him.
'Shane was very sporty and he also liked to be noticed. He knew he was good and he liked people to know as well.
'I can't believe it mate. I'm so shattered. It is gut wrenching, it is heartbreaking, it is everything you ever imagine it would be.
'My kids should be burying me, I shouldn't have to be burying them, they were my world.'
Mr Shorey plans to attend Dubbo Local Court tomorrow where Jacob Donn is due to appear.
A GoFundMe page has been set up with donations to go to the shattered father for assistance with paying for funerals for his two boys, after he lost his job late last year.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are reportedly headed for divorce, with reports claiming the businesswoman has ‘had enough’.
The couple, who wed in 2014 in a lavish ceremony in Italy, are said to be in settlement talks and deciding how their properties should be split.
It comes after claims that Kim, 40, hasn’t been seen wearing her wedding ring.
‘They are keeping it low-key but they are done,’ a source claimed. ‘Kim has hired Laura Wasser and they are in settlement talks.
‘Kim got Kanye to go up there [Wyoming] so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.’
The source continued to Page Six: ‘She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign.
‘Meanwhile, Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.’
It’s also been reported that Kanye is ‘completely over the entire family’ and ‘wants nothing to do with them.’
In July, he tweeted that he’d been trying to get divorced since Kim met Meek Mill in 2018.
In a now-deleted post, Kanye wrote: ‘Meek is my man and was respectful That’s my dog Kim was out of line I’m worth 5 billion dollars and more than that through Christ But ya’ll ain’t listen to MJ and now ya’ll believe them??? (sic)’
Kanye also branded Kim’s mum Kris Jenner ‘Kris Jong-Un’ and claimed the Kardashians were trying to force him into psychiatric treatment.
Page Six also claims that Kim is hoping to keep their Calabasas home as it’s where their kids are based, but the couple had not yet decided how their properties would be split.
Kim and Kanye share four children together; North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, who turns three next week, and Psalm, 19 months.
Metro.co.uk has contacted both Kim and Kanye’s rep for comment.

Dažną dieną pranešama apie naujus COVID-19 atvejus vaikų darželiuose. Naujausiais duomenimis, serga 86 vaikai, 189 ikimokyklinio ugdymo įstaigų pedagogai, 210 nepedagoginių darbuotojų. Koronaviruso židinys fiksuojamas tuomet, kai ugdymo įstaigoje nustatomi bent du atvejai. Dažniausiai tokiu atveju uždaromos tik grupės, tačiau Kazlų Rūdoje teko uždaryti visą darželį, per kelias dienas infekcija ten pasėjo 25 atvejus.
Antradienį Nacionalinis visuomenės sveikatos centras (NVSC) pranešė, kad Kazlų Rūdos lopšelyje-darželyje „Pušelė“ – koronaviruso protrūkis, su kuriuo siejami 24 COVID-19 ligos atvejai, įskaitant antrinius, t. y. šeimose. Popiet Marijampolės NVSC patikslino, kad atvejų – jau 25. Kaip sakė šio darželio darbuotoja, tarp užsikrėtusiųjų – ir vaikai, ir darbuotojai. „Pušelė“, sulaukusi epidemiologų rekomendacijos, buvo uždaryta – ši ugdymo įstaiga neveikia nuo sausio 13-osios.
Taip pat antradienį patvirtinti atvejai, susiję su protrūkiais Klaipėdos lopšelyje-darželyje „Giliukas“, kur iš viso patvirtinti trys infekcijos atvejai (išvakarėse ten buvo du atvejai).
Šią savaitę 2 atvejai buvo užfiksuoti ir Vilniaus rajono Marijampolio lopšelio-darželio židinyje. Anot epidemiologų, tokių atvejų, kai darželiuose nustatoma po vieną du atvejus, daugiausia.
Švietimo, mokslo ir sporto ministerijos duomenimis, COVID-19 liga nustatyta 57 ikimokyklinio ugdymo įstaigose.
Dauguma susirgo jau izoliavęsi
Marijampolės NVSC atstovė Ingrida Pucėtienė pasakojo, kad „Pušelėje“ nustatyta COVID-19 liga penkiems vaikams, 14 darbuotojų, o šeši atvejai yra antriniai, kai užsikrėtė vaikų ar darbuotojų artimieji, kurie nesusiję su šia ugdymo įstaiga.
Epidemiologai nustatė, kad vienoje šeimoje užsikrėtė darželinukas ir dar trys šeimos nariai. Tiesa, ar namo virusą parnešė vaikas, nežinia. Gali būti, kad jis užsikrėtė namie.
Kaip sakė I. Pucėtienė, pirminis infekcijos, išplitusios vaikų darželyje, šaltinis nebuvo nustatytas. Pirmi atvejai fiksuoti sausio 10 dieną – tuomet testas parodė užsikrėtimą dviem darbuotojams, o vėliau liga diagnozuota ir vaikams.
Sausio 12 dieną COVID-19 buvi diagnozuota jau devyniems darbuotojams ir vienam vaikui. Tądien Marijampolės NVSC rekomendavo darželiui taikyti infekcijos plitimą ribojantį režimą, tad „Pušelė“ buvo uždaryta.
Kiti atvejai, sakė I. Pucėtienė, nustatyti jau tuomet, kai darbuotojai ir vaikai izoliavosi.
Anot NVSC darbuotojos, Marijampolės apskrities vaikų darželiuose yra ir daugiau koronaviruso atvejų, bet jie – pavieniai.
„Daugiau, kad taip liga išplistų, kaip kad „Pušelėje“, Marijampolės apskrityje nebuvo nuo infekcijos pradžios pavasarį. Toks atvejis pirmas mūsų apskrityje“, – sakė I. Pucėtienė.
Lopšelio-darželio direktorė: tai – nemalonus krikštas
COVID-19 įsibrovė ir į Klaipėdoje veikiantį lopšelį-darželį „Giliukas“. Su šiuo židiniu siejami 3 atvejai, pirmadienį šis rodiklis buvo mažesnis – du atvejai.
Pirmadienį, kai buvo nustatyti du atvejai, įstaigos direktorė Laura Vaitkienė teigė, kad abu COVID-19 liga susirgę žmonės – lopšelio-darželio darbuotojai. Kol kas dar nežinoma, ar daug žmonių kontaktavo su šiais užsikrėtusiais asmenimis, tad direktorė negalėjo įvardyti, kiek dar žmonių teks izoliuotis.
„Kol kas renkame informaciją, tvarkomės viduje, informuojame susijusių grupių tėvelius“, – dėstė L. Vaitkienė.
Lopšelio-darželio direktorė neslėpė, kad paaiškėję užsikrėtimo atvejai – netikėta žinia ir tai yra pirmoji tokia darželio patirtis.
„Nemalonus krikštas. Savaitgalinis. Savaitgalį pradėjo eiti informacija“, – teigė direktorė.
Pašnekovė nenorėjo detalizuoti, kokia šiuo metu yra susirgusiųjų sveikatos būklė, tačiau pastebėjo, kad gydymo ligoninėje jiems dar neprireikė.
Pirmadienį lopšelis-darželis „Giliukas“ dirba, kol kas, anot direktorės, nėra prielaidų darželiui nedirbti.
„Kalbame apie vienos grupės izoliaciją, o kitos grupės, panašu, galės sėkmingai veikti“, – teigė L. Vaitkienė.
NVSC Klaipėdos departamento direktorius Raimundas Grigaliūnas teigė, jog kol kas Klaipėdoje veikiančiuose darželiuose išskirtinių ar atvejų gausa pasižymėjusių židinių nėra užfiksuota. Pastaruoju metu pasitaikė keli darželiai, kuriuose buvo užfiksuota po vieną COVID-19 ligos atvejį.
Dabar protrūkiai ne tokie gausūs
Švietimo, mokslo ir sporto ministerijos atstovai sakė, kad jeigu ugdymo įstaigoje nustatomi koronaviruso atvejai, įstaiga privalo informuoti ir bendradarbiauti su Nacionaliniu visuomenės sveikatos centru prie Sveikatos apsaugos ministerijos. „Epidemiologai vertina, jog užsikrėtimai laikomi protrūkiu, kai užsikrečia du ir daugiau asmenų, bendravusių tarpusavyje.
Tad, pavyzdžiui, jei darželyje užsikrėstų auklėtojas, bendravęs su kitu auklėtoju, taip pat jei užsikrėstų vaikas, bendravęs su auklėtoju, ir panašiai, būtų laikoma protrūkiu“, – paaiškino NVSC Vilniaus departamento visuomenės informavimo specialistė Justina Petravičienė.
Ji pridūrė: „Ikimokyklinio ugdymo įstaigose protrūkiai, t. y., kai užsikrečia du asmenys ir jų užsikrėtimo aplinkybės yra susijusios, registruojami, tačiau jie dažniausiai nėra gausūs, lyginant su rudens metu fiksuota situacija. Vertinama, kad dažnu atveju infekcija ir pasibaigia 2-3 ar 4 atvejais, kai suserga izoliacijoje buvę darbuotojai ar vaikai.“

Stars will attempt to lighten the mood as security is ramped up for unprecedented ceremony
Lady Gaga and Jennifer Lopez will attempt to lighten the mood at an unprecedented presidential inauguration inside a new "Green Zone" in Washington.
The national anthem will be sung by Lady Gaga as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are sworn in on the West Front of the US Capitol, and Lopez will also perform.
As Hollywood stars flocked to be part of swearing in a Democrat president Tom Hanks will host a 90-minute TV special featuring celebrities including Justin Timberlake, and a "virtual parade" around America.
It will be an attempt by Mr Biden's team to distract from the massive security operation surrounding the event.
Usually, hundreds of thousands of people flood on to the National Mall in front of Congress for an inauguration.
But, in the wake of the riots on Jan 6, a new "Green Zone" has been established with much of Washington closed off behind giant fences.
Read more: Who is performing at Joe Biden's inauguration?
A secret service spokesman said: "Vehicle traffic is restricted to residents or businesses within the restricted area, and National Guard personnel will be assisting with verifying traffic entering into the Green Zone."
Up to 25,000 National Guard soldiers were being deployed, five times the combined current total of US forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Amid warnings of potential attacks by armed extremists the National Park Service said only a small number of permits had been granted for protests in the capital. Muriel Bowser, Washington's Democrat mayor, urged people to stay at home.
US government aircraft will be carrying out surveillance overhead. For the first time since 1949 there will be no inaugural balls.
Meanwhile, it emerged that three days before Jan 6 US Capitol Police, who guard the building, circulated an internal intelligence warning that it could be attacked by supporters of the president.
Some Republicans questioned Mr Biden's decision to have a star-studded event. Eric Dezenhall, a former official in the Ronald Reagan administration, said: "If you're a Biden supporter it's nice to see Lady Gaga perform.
"[But] what rallied Trump supporters was the notion of an uber-elite that had nothing to do at all with them and that they couldn't relate to."

Consumers warned they will bear the cost of Brexit border delays

Consumers will bear the cost of the trouble facing traders following the imposition of Brexit red tape, a senior retail chief has warned.
Lord Rose, chairman of supermarket delivery company Ocado, said the delays and difficulties in international shipping caused by added paperwork meant the “cost will be passed on to the consumer”.
A haulage firm boss, meanwhile, predicted the customs changes would lead to a “bloodbath” for the sector with delivery delays eating into already tight profit margins.
It comes after Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove warned businesses and hauliers on Friday that there is likely to be “significant additional disruption” at the UK border as a result of increasing trade traffic, particularly at Dover.
The trouble already experienced following the end of the transition period with the European Union on December 31 has led to major parcel courier DPD pausing some delivery services into Europe, including Ireland.
Supermarket giant Marks & Spencer said the new regulations are set to “significantly impact” its overseas ventures in Ireland, the Czech Republic and France.
Lord Rose, the ex-Remain campaign chief and former M&S chairman, told BBC Radio 4’s Today: “You can’t interfere with a finely honed, 50-year legacy supply chain and expect it to all run smoothly on day one.
“The issue of transport and hauliers not wanting to send their lorries here is because they are worried about their lorries being stuck and worried about lost profit, which means therefore the cost will be passed on to the consumer.
“You will see some short-term shortages but let’s be clear, there is not going to be a famine.
“Food will continue to come in, although at this time of the year 50-80%-plus of our fruit and veg comes in from Europe and beyond and a lot of that comes in through Dover on trucks.
“We’re talking about fresh product which is perishable. If it doesn’t get out within 24 hours, it goes off, it rots, it gets thrown away – that’s lost profit, that’s a real problem for businesses both ways.”
Lorenzo Zaccheo, managing director of Kent-based haulage firm Alcaline UK, said he was expecting deliveries to take two-and-a-half days longer than last year when the country was still following EU rules.
He said vehicles were currently getting stuck at ports for seven hours and that European hauliers were turning down work in the UK, even when offered twice the usual rate.
Mr Zaccheo told Today he thought the problems would go on for “months” longer, adding: “First of all there are not enough clearing agents out there – then you’ve got Covid, with some of them self-isolating and everything else.
“It is just a complete mess. This is going to be a bloodbath. Cost wise – as we’ve seen this week – the cost of transport will treble into the United Kingdom because everybody is refusing to come.
“We offered twice as much and they still don’t want to come.”
Rachel Reeves, Labour’s shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, said transport companies had been “left wrangling with completely overwhelmed systems without any help”.
The Government has promised to “redouble” efforts to inform traders of the paperwork required now that the UK is outside of EU rules.
Boris Johnson’s Brexit deal ensured free trade on goods could continue but being outside the single market and customs union has still meant added checks on cargo entering Europe.
As well as requiring the correct paperwork, including export declarations and the extra certificates needed for products such as plant and animal products, hauliers must also secure a negative Covid-19 test and a Kent Access Permit before embarking on their travels onwards to Europe.
The latest Government figures show that around 700 lorries have been turned away from the border since new rules came into force and about 150 fines have been handed out for non-compliance with new rules designed to reduce truck queues in Kent.
But officials have warned that those numbers could increase as the flow of lorries heading through Kent increases, with traffic drastically reduced at present.
Over the past week, there has been an average of 1,584 lorries per day attempting border crossings, which is only around 40% of historical norms, according to the Cabinet Office.

Sausio 22 dieną iš Floridos valstijoje Kanaveralo iškyšulyje esančio kosmodromo turėtų pakilti Elono Musko bendrovės „SpaceX“ raketa-nešėja „Falcon 9“, kuria savo kosminę kelionę pradės dar vienas Lietuvos mažųjų palydovų kūrėjos „NanoAvionics“ palydovas. Lietuvoje sukurtas palydovas, pavadintas „Charlie“, į orbitą kyla gausioje kompanijoje – „Falcon 9“ iš viso gabena 93 įvairios paskirties palydovus bei tris papildomus krovinius. Tai jau trečiasis per pastarąjį pusmetį į kosmosą kylantis „NanoAvionics“ palydovas, rašoma bendrovės siųstame pranešime žiniasklaidai.
„FalconX“ misija „Transporter 1“ yra pirmoji „SpaceX“ palydovams skirtos programos „SmallSat Rideshare“ misija 2021 metais. „Charlie“ pakils į įprastą mažųjų palydovų buveinę – Saulės sinchroninę orbitą (SSO), esančią 600-800 km aukštyje.
„Charlie“ yra pirmasis iš dviejų „NanoAvionics“ palydovų, sukurtų JAV radijo dažnių ir duomenų analizės bendrovės „Aurora Insight“ užsakymu. Abiejų palydovų pagrindas yra „NanoAvionics“ sukurta nano palydovų platforma M6P – pirmoji standartizuota platforma rinkoje.
Platforma talpina vadinamuosius 6 vienetus krovinio (vienetu vadinamas kubas, kurio kraštinės ilgis sudaro 10 cm, o tūris – 1000 kubinių centimetrų). Esant poreikiui, platforma gali turėti variklį, kuriuo galima koreguoti ar keisti palydovo orbitą.
Abu palydovai taps JAV bendrovės kuriamos, duomenų rinkimo ir perdavimo į Žemę, sistemos dalimi. Antrasis palydovas – „Bravo“ – į orbitą turėtų būti iškeltas per pirmąjį šių metų ketvirtį. „Charlie“ ir „Bravo“ taip pat turės tiksliausią mažųjų palydovų rinkoje navigacijos sistemą su įdiegta žvaigždžių sekimo posisteme.
„Skamba beveik ironiškai, tačiau 2020-ieji mums buvo puikūs metai. Pakiliai pradedame ir naujuosius, ši misija mus nuteikia labai optimistiškai. Šiuo metu 90 procentų „NanoAvionics“ sutarčių apima visą spektrą paslaugų – pradedant palydovo sukūrimu, kliento krovinio integravimu ir baigiant palydovo paleidimu bei jo valdymu orbitoje. Visos iki šiol įgyvendintos misijos, leido mums sukaupti daugybę patirties ir užtikrinti sklandų duomenų ir komunikacijos iš kosmoso tiekimą klientams, o tai, mūsų industrijoje, svarbiausia“, – teigia „NanoAvionics“ generalinis direktorius Vytenis J. Buzas.
Sėkmingas bendradarbiavimas su „Aurora Insight“
„Aurora Insight“ palydovus naudos radijo dažnių spektro stebėsenai, apdorojant mobiliojo ryšio ir belaidžio duomenų perdavimo, televizijos transliavimo signalus. „Aurora“ technologija leidžia fiksuoti radijo dažnių juostų naudojimo intensyvumą, taršą, interferenciją, o sukauptą informaciją pateikti žemėlapio formatu, realiu laiku. Stebėsenos duomenys padeda mobiliojo ryšio ar mobiliųjų duomenų operatoriams, transliuotojams ir kitiems radijo dažnių naudotojams efektyviau išnaudoti turimą infrastruktūrą ar ją plėsti.
„Palydovas mums suteiks prieigą prie visiškai naujų duomenų apie radijo dažnių spektrą ir padės geriau suprasti globalią belaidžio ryšio infrastruktūrą. „NanoAvionics“ komanda yra labai profesionalus ir efektyvus partneris įgyvendinant visą procesą – sėkmingai kuriant palydovus, integruojant mūsų įrenginį ir pasirūpinant iškėlimo bei jų valdymo reikalais“, – dalinasi Jennifer Alvarez, „Aurora Insight“ generalinė direktorė.
„Aurora Insight“ yra sukūrusi radijo dažnių matavimo ir stebėjimo prietaisus sumontuotus ant transporto priemonių, bokštų, pastatų ar kitų objektų. Jau dabar atliekamus matavimus papildys ir duomenys gauti iš „Bravo“ bei „Charlie“ palydovų.
„Pritaikyti palydovus mūsų klientų poreikiams, mums gana paprasta, nes visur naudojame modulių principą – platformoms, posistemėms, mechaninei ir programinei įrangai, taip pat misijoms ir veiklos operacijoms“, – teigia Vytenis J. Buzas.
Išskirtinai sėkmingi metai
2020 metai įmonei „NanoAvionics“ buvo išskirtinai sėkmingi. Nors tam, kad pelnytų rinkos pasitikėjimą, bendrovei prireikė kelerių metų, šiuo metu pasiūlymų iš pasaulyje pripažintų įmonių, jiems tikrai netrūksta.
Vienas svarbiausių ir įdomiausių projektų – NASA misija. Pagal pernai pasirašytą bendradarbiavimo sutartį su JAV Nacionaline aeronautikos ir kosmoso administracija (NASA) „NanoAvionics“ sukurs 12 krovos vienetų platformą, kurioje į orbitą bus iškelta ir išbandyta NASA kuriama Saulės burių sistema „Advanced Composite Solar Sail System“ (ACS3). Išskleista orbitoje Saulės burė bus maždaug 74 kvadratinių metrų ploto. Tokias bures ateityje planuojama naudoti mažuosiuose palydovuose vietoje įprastų reaktyvinės traukos variklių.
Pernai „NanoAvionics“ taip pat pasirašė didelės vertės sutartį su Jungtinės Karalystės bendrove „Sen“, kuriančia itin aukštos raiškos (UHD) Žemės vaizdo sistemą, skirtą planetos aplinkos, gamtos katastrofų ar klimato kaitos padarinių stebėsenai. Tam taip pat bus pasitelktas mažųjų palydovų spiečius. „NanoAvionics“ įsipareigojo sukurti pirmuosius 5 spiečiaus palydovus, kurių pagrindu taps 16 krovos vienetų platformos, kuriamos ir gaminamos Vilniuje
Taip pat, per praėjusius metus „NanoAvionics“ atidarė tris naujus biurus – vieną iš jų Kaune – ir komandą papildė naujais nariais. O Jungtinėje Karalystėje (JK) įmonė persikėlė į didesnes patalpas.
Jau šį penktadienį kviečiame visus norinčius, stebėti palydovo „Charlie“ paleidimą į kosmosą, kartu su „NanoAvionics“ komanda. Nuoroda į virtualų renginį.

Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump and Ted Cruz are among the rumoured candidates to become Donald Trump's successor

Mike Pence, Ivanka Trump and Ted Cruz are among the rumoured candidates to become Donald Trump's successor
The 2020 presidential race has only just finished, but the Republican candidates for 2024 are already preparing themselves for their shot at the White House.
We take a look at who may be looking to get themselves in to the race.
Mike Pence is the soon-to-be former vice-president of the United States, and has been one of Donald Trump’s staunchest allies since he was confirmed as the Republican nominee for President in 2016.
The former Indiana governor, 61, is a popular figure in the Republican party and well known among the party's base.
He is currently considered to be one of the likeliest candidates in the Republican party to run in 2024, with his ability to draw support from both the Trump base and more traditional conservatives.
While in office he pushed for a reduction in government spending, gaining a reputation as a fiscal conservative. When the pandemic began the president chose Mr Pence to head the White House coronavirus task force, chairing daily meetings with medical experts and briefing Mr Trump.
He endorsed Ted Cruz in the 2016 Republican primaries, and was praised by Paul Ryan, the former Speaker of the House, who described him a "personal friend" and a "movement conservative".
Mr Pence is also an Evangelical Christian, and was an early supporter of the Tea Party movement.
Nikki Haley is the former governor of South Carolina, who served as Donald Trump’s ambassador to the UN from 2017-2018.
The 48-year-old was the youngest ever governor of the state and also the first person of Indian descent to serve in a President’s cabinet.
Rumours of a 2024 presidential run have picked up steam after she announced the formation of a Political Action Committee (PAC) on January 13 called Stand for America. A PAC is a tax-exempt organisation through which individuals can fundraise.
More of a traditional conservative than a Trumpist, Ms Haley is known for her staunch defence of Israel and hawkish stance on Iran. She was a prominent figure in moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move that provoked outrage across much of the Arab world.
Senator Lindsey Graham, a close ally of Trump, described Ms Haley as a “strong supporter of Israel”.
However, even during her time serving under Trump, she made an effort to distance herself from some of his more contentious policies. She decried the ‘Muslim travel ban’, calling it “un-American”.
Ted Cruz is a senator for Texas, and another staunch ally of Donald Trump, despite running a bitter campaign against him for the 2016 Republican nomination for President.
During that 2016 campaign, Mr Cruz called Trump a “pathological liar” and “morally unfit for the presidency”, but that did not stop him becoming one of the most vocal spokesmen for Trump’s claims of election fraud following November 2020’s race.
In the Congressional session that was interrupted by pro-Trump rioters, Mr Cruz filed multiple objections to the certification of Joe Biden’s presidency, without any evidence for his claims. This has led to many calling him morally culpable for the storming of the Capitol and calls for his resignation.
Republican operative Chad Sweet, who ran Mr Cruz’s 2016 campaign for President, denounced him for an "assault on our democracy.”
There is little doubt that Mr Cruz falls on the right-wing of the Republican party. He is a deeply religious conservative, who has also been characterised as anti-establishment. He is an avid defender of the second amendment and has previously advocated for the abolition of the IRS (America’s HMRC).
He has made enemies on both sides of the political spectrum, but there is little doubt he is a canny political operator. Former House Speaker and lifelong Republican John Boehner once said of Mr Cruz: "I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life."
Tom Cotton is currently the senator for Arkansas, having previously served in the House of Representatives for the same state.
A former army captain who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Mr Cotton is perhaps best known for an op-ed he penned in the New York Times earlier this year following the death of George Floyd.
In the piece, he rejected the notion that there is “systemic racism in the criminal justice system in America” and called for the US military to be drafted in to assist police in the nationwide demonstrations. He has also referred to slavery as a “necessary evil”.
Another Trump loyalist, Mr Cotton was shortlisted as a Supreme Court Justice nominee before the President chose to nominate Amy Coney Barrett. However, despite close ties with Trump, Mr Cotton refused to support his claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
Mr Cotton is also known for his opposition to gay marriage, stating in 2012 that “strong families also depend on strong marriages, and I support the traditional understanding of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.”
Mike Pompeo is currently the Secretary of State for the Trump administration, a position he has held since 2018.
Prior to that, Mr Pompeo was also the director of the CIA under Trump and a representative for the state of Kansas.
Like many of Trump’s great supporters, Mr Pompeo once was one of his most vocal critics, calling him an “authoritarian” in 2016.
A strong climate sceptic, Mr Pompeo once described the Paris Climate Accords as one of the “three sins” of the world along with the World Health Organisation and the Human Rights Council. He also opposed domestic efforts for climate regulation, saying “federal policy should be about the American family, not worshipping a radical environmental agenda.”
During his time as Secretary of State, he has devoted particular time to opposing the Chinese Communist Party, describing Xi Jinping as “a true believer in a bankrupt totalitarian ideology.” He has also a very hawkish stance on Iran, reportedly strongly advocating for the assassination of Qasem Soleimani.
During the transition to the Biden government, Mr Pompeo appeared to support Trump’s claims of election fraud, saying “there will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.”
Josh Hawley is a senator for Missouri, who previously served as the Attorney General for the state. He is the youngest member of the Senate, aged just 41.
During his time in Congress, Mr Hawley, has become known for his strong criticism of both Big Tech and China, as well as being a fierce proponent for an independent Hong Kong.
Recently, he was the first senator to raise a formal objection to the certification of Joe Biden’s presidency, leading to accusations that he has fanned the flames of the conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was fraudulent.
Following the storming of the Capitol, Mr Hawley refused to back down from his position, releasing a statement saying “I will never apologise for giving voice to the millions of Missourians and Americans who have concerns about the integrity of our elections.”
He has been characterised by the libertarian magazine Reason as a “first-rate demagogue”, while Esquire columnist Charles Pierce said “in a town full of thirsty people, Josh Hawley is a man crawling across the Kalahari. The most dangerous place to stand in Washington DC is any place between Senator Josh Hawley and a live microphone.”
Despite this, Mr Hawley retains support from some corners of the Republican party, owing to his strong Evangelical, conservative positions and a hatred for the “cosmopolitan elite”.
The million dollar question is which one.
Donald Trump has hinted at his plans to run again in 2024, although these may be scuppered if the Senate votes to ban him from running for, or holding, public office again.
However, his daughter Ivanka and son Don Jr. have also been mooted as potential candidates for the 2024 race.
Ivanka has been one of her father’s closest advisers during his tenure in the White House, with her catch-all official title of ‘Advisor to the President’ allowing her to be involved in a range of issues, such as attending G20 meetings and establishing the ‘Women's Global Development and Prosperity Initiative’.

On December 28 last year, she sent a tweet out expressing her love for the state of Iowa, which is the first state to hold caucuses for presidential candidates, fuelling speculation of a run.
There are also rumours abound that Don Jr., the President’s eldest son, is eyeing up a run for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The rumours began in earnest in October 2020, he posted a photo of a "Don Jr. 2024" flag on Instagram.

Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall has shared the first sweet photo she took with boyfriend Jordan Stephens.
The pair connected during lockdown last year and ‘really got to know each other’ before making it official.
The singer took part in the Show Me A Picture trend on Instagram and one fan asked her to post the ‘first pic of you and Jordan’.
Jade, 28, responded by sharing the first snap they had taken together standing at a supermarket checkout.
Rizzle Kicks star Jordan, in a red cap, blue jacket and pink hoodie, smiles as he takes the photo through the checkout security camera.
The Shout Out To My Ex singer sports a red hoodie over a black T-shirt and pouts while throwing up a peace sign.
The pop star previously shared with Metro.co.uk how she found romance when she was least expecting it.
‘We had real dates and really got to know each other. I wouldn’t say I was looking for anyone at the time’ she said.
‘I was happy to be in lockdown because I am independent. I think you can still strive in your singleness in lockdown.’
‘Anyone who has supported you through hard times is really important,’ she went on.
‘It’s quite special seeing that. It’s the one positive to come out of this. Me and Jordan…we are a good match. We are so chilled out, we are horizontal!’

Adnan Oktar, who preached that evolution was a hoax and that the end of the world was just around the corner, has been found guilty of a long list of crimes including kidnapping, fraud and sexual abuse
A hardline Islamic cult leader who is constantly surrounded by a retinue of busty glamour girls has been sentenced to 1,075 years in jail after a long and controversial trial.
Adnan Oktar, who also goes by the names Adnan Hoca and Harun Yahya, was arrested on charges of kidnapping, sexual abuse and fraud in July 2018, along with some 160 of his cult members.
In 2010, Oktar was named one of the world’s 50 most influential Muslims but many traditional Muslim clerics have expressed concern about the brash style in which he presents his bizarre theories.
Oktar owns a TV station in his native Turkey, and regularly broadcasts warnings that the End of the World is coming soon, from a brightly coloured television studio filled with attractive models wearing exotic makeup, wigs and bondage-style Versace dresses.
He calls his team of glamorous assistants his "harem" or his "kittens".
The idiosyncratic style of Oktar's evolution-denying cult has been described as a “sexed-up Disney version of Islam” by anthropologist Daniel Martin Varisco.
His harsh sentence comes despite Oktar’s close association with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The two are reportedly on very friendly terms, with Oktar describing Erdogan as an "immaculate Anatolian man" who deserves to rule Turkey until the end of time - which according to Oktar is coming any day now.
One of the aspects of Oktar’s bizarre cult that has been a particular focus of the court case is its finances.
It has been very unclear how the 64-year-old can afford to keep making big-budget documentary such as "The Collapse of Darwinism in Europe" and "Crystal Skull; work of aliens?" as well as run his TV station and publish innumerable books and pamphlets about his apocalyptic vision.
He has been arrested on several occasions - the first was in the early 1980s when he served 19 months for "making propaganda with the aim of weakening or destroying national sentiments" - and he spent some of that time in a secure mental hospital.
But since that low point, Oktar’s fortunes have boomed dramatically and he owns a 13-bedroom seaside estate in Silviri which is said to feature its own private zoo, "complete with camels, horses, and two artificial lakes".
People who have left his cult say he controls his followers with an iron hand – even telling them what kind of plastic surgery to have.
One former member said: "Everyone had to be the same. The hairstyle, the shoes, the jackets. It had to be the most expensive brands, like Versace and Gucci."
The cult leader’s Armani suits are a thing of the past now, though. Without some dramatic intervention from his friend Erdogan, the sex cult leader is likely to spend the rest of his life in a prison uniform.

Dainininkės Jurgos rankose – jos naujausia vinilo plokštelė „Aukso pieva (Deluxe)“. Teko laukti daugiau nei penkiolika metų, kol debiutinis Jurgos albumas pagaliau bus išleistas šiuo melomanų ir muzikos kolekcininkų išpuoselėtu formatu.
2005 metais pasirodęs albumas su hitais „Nebijok“, „Saulė vandeny“ ir „Aukso pieva“ į Lietuvos istoriją įrašytas kaip visų laikų sėkmingiausias debiutinis įrašas, o jauną ir savo kelią dar tik pradedančią atlikėją pavertė ryškiausia praėjusio dešimtmečio muzikos žvaigžde Lietuvoje.
Praėjusį rudenį Nevėžio senvagės ežero saloje šalia Babtyno dvaro Kauno rajone surengusi įspūdingą šio albumo penkiolikto gimtadienio koncerto transliaciją, Jurga dalinasi įspūdžiais apie prieš kelias dienas Lietuvą pasiekusią „Aukso pieva (Deluxe)“ dvigubą plokštelę. Ypatingame leidinyje – ne tik atnaujintas originalus 2005 metų įrašas, bet ir naujai aranžuotos koncertinės šio albumo dainų versijos.
„Šiandien, kai labai daug ko negalima, labai gera atsidaryti savo naujausią leidinį, kuris po 15 metų yra dvigubai vertingesnis ir papildytas koncertinėmis visų dainų versijomis“, – šypsosi Jurga. „Džiaugiuosi galėdama klausytojams pristatyti net 24 kūrinius iš „Aukso pievos“. Kiekvienas kūrinys turi po seną ir naują versiją, nes per daugelį metų šios dainos keitėsi taip pat, kaip ir aš – labai stipriai ir į gerąją pusę. Tad, laukti buvo tikrai verta!“
Jurgos koncertas„Aukso pieva“:
2005 metais išleista „Aukso pieva“ buvo pripažinta metų albumu „Radiocentro“ ir „Bravo“ apdovanojimuose, o įrašas greitai tapo auksiniu ir platininiu. Albumą prodiusavo Andrius Mamontovas, o beveik visoms albumo dainoms, muziką ir žodžius parašė pati Jurga.
Tai ypač atviri, daugeliu atvejų autobiografiniai kūriniai apie jauno žmogaus baimes ir svajones, o pačią Aukso pievą Jurga yra pavadinusi svajonių pieva. Su naujai aranžuotomis ir gyvomis kultinių albumo kūrinių versijomis Jurga klausytojus kviečia susikurti Aukso pievą savo namuose ir svajoti, skambant šio albumo garso takeliui.
Po „Aukso pievos“ Jurga išleido dar septynis studijinius albumus, kurių naujausią „Jurgą“ pristatė praėjusią vasarą koncertų ture. Iš viso jos diskografijoje jau 12 albumų, tarp kurių ir dvi rinktinės plokštelės, barokinės muzikos albumas bei koncertiniu įrašu papildytas „Aukso pieva (Deluxe)“ leidimas. Su šešiais vinilais savo diskografijoje Jurga pretenduoja tapti daugiausiai šiuo formatu albumų išleidusia Lietuvos populiariosios muzikos atlikėja.
Pernai lapkričio 27 dieną „Aukso pieva (Deluxe)“ pasirodė visose skaitmeninėse muzikos platformose, o nuo šios savaitės leidybos kompanijos M.P.3 elektroninėje parduotuvėje Buymusic.lt. Tai jau trečias Jurgos įrašas per paskutinius metus – be gegužę išleisto studijinio albumo „Jurga“, dainininkė gruodžio mėnesį pristatė ir savo pirmąjį proginį kalėdinių dainų minialbumą „Kelionė laiku (Christmas EP)“, kuris pasirodė skaitmeniniu formatu.
Praėję metai kūryba Jurgai buvo vieni aktyviausių per visą karjerą. Išleidusi daug naujos muzikos, paskutinę dieną prieš karantiną koncertą be žiūrovų tuščioje Šv. Kotrynos bažnyčioje Vilniuje surengusi ir dar daugiau tiesioginių savo pasirodymų transliacijų gerbėjams dovanojusi Jurga šiemet yra nominuota dvejose M.A.M.A. muzikos apdovanojimų nominacijose – Metų atlikėjo(-os) ir Metų vaizdo klipo. Pastaroje kategorijoje laimėti pretenduoja vaizdo klipas dainai „Try Me“ iš naujausio studijinio albumo „Jurga“.

Leave the country, launch a news channel or plan a 2024 run? Donald Trump's future will likely be a choice between business and politics
|
Leave the country, launch a news channel or plan a 2024 run? Donald Trump's future will likely be a choice between business and politics
What will Donald Trump do next? That is the question being mulled over in Washington DC now.
His final days in office have been marred by his unprecedented second impeachment by the House of Representatives in the wake of violence at the US Capitol on January 6.
In light of those events, Trump has finally committed to a peaceful transfer of power, though he will break with tradition and not attend Joe Biden's inauguration.
So what path could the man who upended the norms of the Oval Office take in the months and years ahead? There are many possibilities.
Various American media platforms have suggested that Mr Trump will announce his plans to run for president in the 2024 election once president-elect Biden is inaugurated. His plans may be scuppered if his impeachment trial in the Senate goes against him and lawmakers choose to take a further vote on banning him from running for public office again.
When asked what message Mr Trump was portraying in not conceding his loss, Mr Biden declared, "I think it's just an embarrassment quite frankly," before continuing, "How can I say this tactfully? I think it will not help the president's legacy."
Mr Trump's unsubstantiated fraud claims have had a seismic effect. His inflammatory rhetoric has been cited as a contributory factor to the armed insurrection at the US Capitol, an allegation Trump has flatly denied.
In the run up to that fateful day, Mr Trump's sons, lawyer, media supporters and loyalists demanded that Republicans back up the president's "stolen election" claims and help block the formal certification of Joe Biden's presidency.
Some did. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, two Trump-supporting senators who have been mooted as potential candidates in 2024, went all-in and attempted to block certification proceedings. But many others did not.
Republican senators and Mr Trump were never a match made in heaven. It was a relationship of convenience. They needed him, he needed them. But do they need him now?
Following the insurrection, many allies of Trump decided enough was enough, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who will reportedly vote to convict him when the matter of impeachment is brought before the Senate.
In the House vote on January 13, ten Republicans voted in favour, the most bipartisan impeachment conviction in history.
Read more: Donald Trump's impeachment trial timeline
Trump reportedly plans to kick off his first day back in civilian life with a farewell event for himself at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
Scheduled to begin at 8am (1pm GMT), three hours before Biden's inauguration, the event may include a military parade and an official armed forces farewell for the commander-in-chief. A large crowd of supporters have been invited, alongside selected backers and current and former officials in his administration and their guests at a huge red-carpet affair.
However, given the ignominious circumstances under which he is leaving office, it remains to be seen whether Trump will be granted his wish.
From Maryland, Trump will fly down to his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. He must land by noon (5pm GMT) as that is when Biden will officially be president and Trump loses access to Air Force One.
The choice, put simply, is this – business or politics? Mr Trump has not been thrown from office in humiliation by voters in a landslide defeat. Far from it. He won at least six million more votes than 2016. He defied the polls, again – although not by enough. The Republican Party, for now, remains the Trump Party.
There is nothing as yet stopping him from running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. As mentioned, he has already suggested to advisers that he might run again.
You can already see the narrative that would be laid for such a bid – "the election was stolen from me, the swamp fought back".
He would, admittedly, have to add a third "again" to his 2020 "Make America Great Again, Again" slogan, but it should not be ruled out.
What is more, he could win the nomination. The election results have left no doubt that his base is still loyal. At least 69.5 million people voted for him, more than voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
Perhaps there is a middle path too. Mr Trump was infamous for teasing election runs that never came true before he took the plunge in 2016, revelling in the attention it brought.
There are reasons he may rather not seek a return. Right now, he can claim (however incorrectly) that he would have won but for election fraud, denying there was a mass voter rebuke. That may not be the case in 2024. He could turn back to the party he transformed only to find it has changed again in four years and picks someone else, or he could get nominated but lose the election.
The possibility of humiliation on a national scale – the great comeback that turned to dust – may make Mr Trump, well-known for sensitivities to coverage about himself, think twice.
But if he does not run, he will still play a major role in who the party picks in 2024. His endorsement could be one of the most sought-after of the Republican primaries. That explains, perhaps, why figures like Mr Cruz and Mr Graham are weighing in publicly on his side over election fraud claims. He will remember who stood with him now.
The president moving away from politics also does not mean there will not be a Trump competing for the 2024 ticket – his children Don Jr and Ivanka are being closely watched.
So if it is not politics, it is likely to be business. Mr Trump's greatest financial achievement, many argue, was to turn his name into a brand he could monetise across the world.
As the New York Times revelations about his tax returns showed, during The Apprentice he had business success licensing his name to scores of ventures for vast sums.
Now the Trump name is many, many times better known internationally than it was in 2015. Could he pick up where he left off with his business ventures and accelerate?
One project could be the Moscow Trump Tower his team had been pursuing deep into the 2016 campaign, despite denials at the time, or building projects in the Middle East.
Another business avenue has also been much speculated upon: Trump TV. Mr Trump was reported to have been considering setting that up should he have lost the 2016 election.
He has been muzzled by social media companies, with Twitter permanently banning his account and Facebook temporarily suspending his until after Joe Biden's inauguration, meaning a new platform for communication is required.
The ultra-Trumpy One America News Network has been pointed to by pundits as one possible route for him to achieve that, taking it over and making himself the star.
Other relevant claims have always floated around in recent years. An eye-catching one that got tongues wagging was Mr Trump reportedly taking interest in an Apprentice: White House edition.
But whatever plans he could be hatching are not guaranteed to go smoothly. One great, grey cloud looms on the horizon for Mr Trump – becoming an ordinary citizen.
Out of the Oval Office Mr Trump will lose presidential protections from prosecution, ones that special counsel Robert Mueller ultimately cited in his Russian election meddling investigation.
The Manhattan district attorney's office has been pursuing Mr Trump's tax records, sending warning signs that, when he leaves government, legal headaches await.
Allegations still remain about whether his hush-money payment to former porn star Stormy Daniels after an alleged affair, which he has denied, breached campaign finance laws.
Where such lines of inquiry lead, their merit and ultimate outcomes, are anyone's guess – but the chance of Mr Trump facing court battles of his own is not negligible.
One last, tantalising possibility awaits – the ultimate tell-all book. Mr Trump has bemoaned insiders in his administration for writing such works, but in an overlooked moment last month he raised the prospect. "Do I have the all-time great book?" he asked as an aside in a speech with the cameras rolling. "I have the real book."
But whatever path he takes, do not expect him to disappear from the limelight any time soon.

Reality show yıldızı Kim Kardashian ve rapçi eşi Kanye West, bir süredir boşanma haberleriyle gündemde yer alıyor.
Şimdiye kadar konuyla ilgili herhangi bir açıklamada bulunmayan çift, hakkında yeni bir iddia ortaya atıldı.
Kardashian ve West'in altı yıllık evliliğinin fiilen bittiği ve ikilinin boşanma başvurusu yaptıkları öne sürüldü.
People dergisine göre; Kim Kardashian, daha önce Hilary Duff, Christina Aguilera ve Angelina Jolie gibi isimlerle çalışan ünlü avukat Laura Wasser'i tuttu.
40 yaşındaki Kardashian, NBA yıldızı eski eşi Kris Humphries ile 72 gün süren evliliğini bitirirken de Wasser ile birlikte çalışmıştı.
Birkaç aydır ikisinin ayrı hayatlar yaşadığı söylenen çiftin boşanma söylentisi, West'in sonradan sildiği ilginç bir tweet'le ortaya çıkmıştı.
Kanye West, eşi Kim Kardashian'ın bir otelde rap şarkıcısı Meek Mill ile buluşmasından sonra yaklaşık iki yıldır boşanmaya çalıştığını öne sürmüştü.
West’in, Kim Kardashian ile Nicki Minaj'ın eski sevgilisi Meek Mill'in Kasım 2018'de Los Angeles'ta açılan Ceza Adalet Reformu Zirvesi'nde konuşmak için bir araya geldiği zamana atıfta bulunduğu düşünülmüştü.
Kardashian ise, "Kocama anlayış gösterin, bipolar bozukluğu var" ifadelerini kullanarak West'i savunmuştu.
Çifte yakın bir kaynak, "Kanye zaman istiyor ve işi için zaman ayırıyor, zamanının çoğunu Wyoming’de geçiriyor. Kısa zamanda, en azından tam zamanlı olarak Los Angeles’a dönmeyi planlamıyor. Kim de bu durumdan şikayetçi değil." açıklamasını yapmıştı.
Aynı kişi ayrıca, "Kanye, etrafında, Kim'i rahat ettirecek muazzam bir destek sistemine sahip. Kanye için çiftlik daha iyi bir yer. Kim’in Los Angeles’ta olması gerekiyor ve çocuklarını da yanında istiyor. Onların hayatlarını normal şekilde sürdürmesi için elinden geleni yapıyor. Çocuklar babalarıyla her gün iletişim kuruyor, görüntülü konuşma yapıyor." ifadelerimi kullanmıştı.
Öte yandan TV yıldızı Kim Kardashian'ın serveti 1 milyar dolar değerinde. Kanye West'in ise serveti 3 milyar dolar.
Çiftin, ikisi taşıyıcı anneden olmak üzere 4 çocuğu bulunuyor.

Jan 9 (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid's La Liga game against Athletic Bilbao, scheduled to kick off at 1515 GMT on Saturday, has been postponed due to disruptions from a rare snowstorm in Spain, the league said in a statement.
Troops were deployed to rescue trapped drivers from their vehicles as heavy snowfall from Storm Filomena caused travel chaos across Spain.
La Liga said it sought the postponement "given the exceptional situation caused by the storm across a large part of the peninsula ... and the impossibility of having the pitch in optimal conditions."
The conditions prevented Athletic from traveling to Madrid and the plane carrying the squad was forced to turn back around after it was unable to land at Madrid's Barajas Airport.
"Athletic Club would like to thank Atletico Madrid for their collaboration and willingness to find solutions during this difficult situation," Athletic said in a statement.
Atletico are top of La Liga with 38 points from 15 games, while Athletic are ninth on 21 points from 18 games.
A new date for the match would be confirmed later, La Liga said.
Real Madrid's match against Osasuna later on Saturday was also under threat after the La Liga champions were trapped on a plane for more than two hours on Friday due to ice on the runway at Barajas airport but Spanish media reported the game is likely to go ahead.

The "significant milestone" could help address one of the biggest barriers to widespread adoption of electric cars
Electric vehicle batteries capable of charging within five minutes have been produced for the first time.
The breakthrough, from Israeli battery company StoreDot, marks a “significant milestone” in the bid to wean the world’s motorists off petrol and diesel vehicles.
So-called range anxiety and the length of time it takes to fully charge an EV battery have hindered mass adoption of the lithium-based vehicles. While the speed with which EVs charge can vary, typically electric car drivers can add up to 100 miles of range in 35 minutes using a 50kw rapid charger.
StoreDot, which counts Daimler, BP, and Samsung among its backers, has released its first production batch of sample cells that it will show to potential EV and industry partners.
The company has already shown off the ability of its “ultra fast-charging” in scooters and commercial drones. Now it has demonstrated how its batteries can be used to charge electric vehicles. The news was first reported by the Guardian.
StoreDot said the new batteries show the “successful replacement of graphite” in a cell’s anode using so-called metalloid nanoparticles. The battery producer claims it is a “major breakthrough” in overcoming issues around safety and battery life cycle.
The new battery cells can be fully charged within five minutes, however to do so would require considerably higher-powerered chargers that are used by most EV drivers today. StoreDot hopes that by 2025 it will be able to deliver 100 miles of range within five minutes using the existing charging infrastructure available today.
The sample cells were produced with EVE Energy, StoreDot’s Chinese partner. The company said the batteries have been designed so that they can be produced using the existing manufacturing lines at EVE that are typically used to roll out lithium ion batteries, the cells that traditionally underpin electric vehicles.
Doron Myersdorf, StoreDot chief executive, said the samples were an “important milestone”.
"We founded StoreDot to achieve what many said could never be done – develop batteries capable of delivering a full charge in just five minutes,” he said in a statement.
“We have shown that this level of extreme fast charging is possible – first in 2019 with an electric scooter and again six months ago with a commercial drone.”
Mr Myersdorf said the company was “on the cusp of achieving a revolution in EVs” that would remove the “critical barrier to mass adoption”.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has brought forward the Government's ambitions to curtail the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles. In November, he said that the sale of new internal combustion engines should be stopped by 2030, five years earlier than had been previously planned.
Britain’s battery supply chain remains significantly behind that of China, the US, and Europe.
In December, BritishVolt announced its plans to spend £2.6bn on its first battery factory in the UK that will be built on the site of a former coal-fired power station in Blyth in northeastern England.

The Tesla and Space X CEO recently overtook Amazon boss Jeff Bezos to become the richest man in the world. The billionaire is worth $188.5billion (£136bn), according to Bloomberg
Elon Musk has asked for help on how to spend his fortune after he became the richest man in the world.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO’s $188.5billion (£136billion) wealth saw him overtake Amazon boss Jeff Bezos last week.
An increase in Tesla’s share price last Thursday pushed Musk past him.
And he has now urged his Twitter followers to send suggestions on how to splash the cash.
He said it was "way harder than it seems" to find ways to spend it to "make a difference".
Musk wrote: "Btw, critical feedback is always super appreciated, as well as ways to donate money that really make a difference (way harder than it seems)."
At the beginning of last year, Musk was worth around $27billion (£19.9billion).
But his net worth skyrocketed after Tesla’s surging share price added more than $150billion (£110.6billion) to it.
Last November, he shot past Microsoft chief Bill Gates and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to become the second-richest person in the world, until he recently overtook Bezos.
According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Musk also has about $42billion of gains on vested stock options in Tesla.
Musk, who has a 20% stake in the carmaker, also tweeted he wants to spend cash on helping problems on Earth - as well as setting up a city on Mars.
The billionaire wrote: "About half my money is intended to help problems on Earth & half to help establish a self-sustaining city on Mars to ensure the continuation of life (of all species) in case Earth gets hit by a meteor like the dinosaurs or WW3 happens & we destroy ourselves."
He previously wrote about why he wanted money, insisting the reason is "not what you think".
Writing back in 2018 on Twitter, Musk said he has "very little time for recreation", adding: "Don’t have vacation homes or yachts or anything like that."
He claimed he is "primarily" trying to advance two causes - sustainable energy and "extending life/consciousness beyond Earth".
The South Africa-born businessman added: "There is also the existential threat of AI, which we should aspire to mitigate.
"This doesn’t leave time to write books."
About three-quarters of his net worth is comprised of Tesla shares.
The firm’s market value has grown to $737.6billion.
Back in 2018, the business magnate signed a deal with Tesla about his salary from the company.
The compensation package ties his earnings to its financial performance, and he doesn’t receive a salary.
It meant he would not take a paycheck until the company reached $100billion (£81billion) market cap.
Last May, he qualified for the compensation package after the company hit certain goals.
As well as Tesla and SpaceX - which sent the world’s most powerful rocket into space - he founded tunnel construction firm The Boring Company in 2016.
Bezos, who had been the world’s richest person since 2017, is worth around $184billion (£135billion).

Manchester United trio Brandon Williams, Daniel James and Jesse Lingard are all attracting interest during the January transfer window, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to keep hold of them rather than let them head out on loan.
Chances have been limited for the three players this season, with James making the most Premier League appearances (6), but Williams only on one and Lingard yet to turn out in the league so far this campaign.
With the Red Devils second in the league and playing well, opportunities do not seem likely to crop up any time soon, but Solskjaer knows it is a long and busy season, with injuries sure to happen.
Southampton have made an initial approach for Williams, reports the Telegraph, but United have turned it down as they are keen to keep hold of him.
While a move for any of the three players is not completely out of the question, it is Solskjaer’s preference to keep hold of all his players and have them ready to take part whenever required.
‘This season is going to be about the squad and rotation and to have the right players playing at the right time,’ said Solskjaer.
‘We have seen so many injuries, the schedule has been so hectic. I think we have been quite good at rotating. That has been standing us in a good stead. Look at the [Manchester] City vs Chelsea game.
‘When City had eight days [rest] from the last game, you see the quality goes up straight away. Physically, the game was more demanding than any of the other previous games in the league probably and I think it’s important for every player and every team.
‘I see the difference when you have got a full week – what in Germany they call ‘not an English week’ – because the English week you play every three days, every week and it’s very demanding.’
United do indeed have a very busy schedule, with eight games in total over January, as they compete in the Premier League, EFL Cup and FA Cup, before beginning their Europa League campaign in February.

【ニューヨーク＝共同】米大リーグ歴代二位の通算７５５本塁打を放ったハンク・アーロンさんが二十二日に死去した。八十六歳。現役時代に所属したブレーブスが発表した。死因は非公表。
アフリカ系米国人で、人種差別と闘いながら一九七四年にベーブ・ルースの不滅とされた通算７１４本塁打のメジャー記録を更新。日本では王貞治が自身の記録を抜いた際に脚光を浴び、二人は友情でも知られた。三四年に南部アラバマ州モービルで生まれ、黒人リーグを経て五四年にブレーブスで大リーグデビュー。五七年に本塁打、打点の二冠で最優秀選手に輝き、チームをワールドシリーズ制覇に導いた。
本塁打王と打点王は四度、首位打者は二度獲得。七六年限りで現役引退するまで通算２２９７打点は歴代一位、３７７１安打は同三位。最多本塁打記録は薬物疑惑が取り沙汰されたバリー・ボンズに二〇〇七年に抜かれるまで守った。オールスター戦は二十一年連続選出、ゴールドグラブ賞は三度受賞。八二年に米国野球殿堂入りし、背番号４４はブレーブスとブルワーズで永久欠番になった。
王さんとは九〇年から世界少年野球大会開催など普及活動で協力し、一五年に旭日小綬章を受章した。...

Prieš tris metus Vengrijos premjero Viktoro Orbano Vyriausybė iš šalies išstūmė prestižinį Vidurio Europos universitetą (CEU). Dabar Vengrijoje įsikurs pirmasis visoje Europos Sąjungoje Kinijos valstybinio universiteto studijų padalinys, rašo „Voice of America“.
CEU iš Vengrijos buvo išprašytas dėl to, kad jį finansuoja sąmokslo teorijomis apipintas vengrų kilmės JAV filantropas George`as Sorosas, kritikuojantis V. Orbano kuriamą „neliberalią demokratiją“. Europos Teisingumo Teismas (ETT) nusprendė, kad šis žingsnis prieštarauja ES teisei.
Dabar Vengrijos valdžia demonstruoja siekį toliau suartėti su Pekinu, nepaisant Vakarų nerimo dėl augančios Kinijos įtakos Vidurio Europoje.
Gruodį buvo pasirašytas susitarimas su Šanchajuje veikiančiu Fudano universitetu, pagal kurį įstaigos padalinys įsikurs Budapešte. V. Orbano Vyriausybė praneša finansiškai paremsianti planą, pagal kurį 2024-aisiais duris atversiančiame Fudano padalinyje studijas galės pradėti 6 tūkst. žmonių. Čia bus galima studijuoti ekonomiką, tarptautinius santykius, medicinos ir technologinius mokslus. Vengrijos pareigūnai tikisi, kad dėl universiteto išaugs Kinijos investicijos Vengrijoje, rašo „Voice of America“.
V. Orbanas „žvelgia į Kiniją ir Rusiją kaip alternatyvas Vakarams“, dienraštyje „The Hill“ rašė buvęs Vengrijos ambasadorius JAV ir prie NATO Andras Simonyi.
Lapkritį Vengrija atnaujino kultūros, mokslo ir mokymosi sutartį su Kinija, šis žingsnis sulaukė nuogąstavimų Europoje dėl augančios Pekino įtakos regione.
Vengrijos Vyriausybė teigia, kad naujasis universiteto padalinys pakels Vengrijos aukštųjų mokyklų standartus.
Vakarų valstybės vis atviriau kalba apie Kinijos keliamą grėsmę teise paremtai tarptautinių santykių sistemai, Pekino žmogaus teisių pažeidimus, tarptautinių susitarimų ir normų nesilaikymą, atvirus kinų diplomatų grasinimus ir sankcijas už kritiką Pekino atvžilgiu.
Vidurio Rytų Europos regione Pekinas bando savo įtaką didinti veikdamas per vadinamąjį „17+1“ formatą. Kinijos iniciatyvos regione „sukėlė aliarmą Briuselyje ir (Vakarų) Europos sostinėse, kad Kinija bando skaldyti ES“, dar pernai rašė analitikai.

Introduction of Serbian tennis player to a country historically protective of its fragile ecosystem has caused ripples
|
Introduction of Serbian tennis player to a country historically protective of its fragile ecosystem has caused ripples
Is there a worse reader of a room than Novak Djokovic? His latest duff chord was struck from the comfort of Adelaide, the business-class lounge of Australian Open quarantine venues.
A six-point plan for levelling up the lives of tennis players was met by the Aussie public and media with a unanimous ‘rack off’. You could imagine a similar reaction here if Kyle Walker demanded nightclubs should open just for Premier League footballers. And they should all get a Playstation 5. And a hot tub.
There was a big ‘we don’t negotiate with terrorists’ energy to the Victoria Premier’s Daniel Andrews response: “People are free to provide lists of demands, but the answer is no”.
Voice of the nation Nick Kyrgios also summed up the mood succinctly. “Djokovic,” he wrote, “is a tool”.
Maybe, just maybe, the nation with a total Covid death toll in three figures might be okay without the advice of the father of the Adria Tour, a man who said last year “personally I am opposed to vaccination”?
As anyone who’s been will tell you, Australia is a socially conservative country with little tolerance for rulebreakers, despite the perma-shorted lie sold by the Fosters adverts. It is the nation which puts a pool deck at the Gabba, but also one with strict rules governing the maximum length of a dog leash.
The hardline streak in Aussie society makes for fantastic public health responses but terrible Crocodile Dundee films. Nevertheless, Australia is entitled to take the Al Murray line on being told what to do by visitors like Djokovic: “My gaff, my rules.”
Happily the vast majority of the Melbourne 72 in quarantine have been behaving themselves, posting perky videos demonstrating their ability to hit a ball against a wall again and again:
You’ve got to feel sorry for any non-tennis players staying next door.
The contribution of Bernard Tomic’s partner Vanessa Sierra has been less warmly received. Her YouTube video ‘Life In The Australian Open player bubble’ is the Sistine Chapel of bland vlogs.
It begins with a hangar full of shiny aeroplanes but quickly drops several rungs on the glamour ladder as Sierra and Tomic find out they’re going to be confined to their room until February.
Please proceed with caution if the mere mention of avocados for breakfast raises your blood pressure:
Tomic is mostly spotted in the background on his phone, studiously ignoring the mugging for the camera:
These are hard times for influencers. There’s nothing aspirational about a hotel room that, by Sierra’s own admission, only has space for “minimal yoga”.
Clearly two weeks of this would be challenging for anyone. Living in a hotel is exactly as bleak as suggested by Alan Partridge or the football of Manchester United under Jose Mourinho. But please do like and subscribe.
Despite that plight,, publicly complaining about long waits for food deliveries, the double bed actually just being two singles pushed together and some disappointing blueberries is more tone-deaf than the first week of X Factor auditions.
Melbourne was under a far stricter lockdown than we’ve had to endure at any point in the UK for 112 days last year. Two weeks in a hotel room with a Nintendo Switch and all the mushrooms you can eat is eminently doable.
Besides, this is not the time to be provoking Australians. With news emerging of positive tests from the tennis influx, and the mother of all rope-a-dope cricketing defeats to India the message to any complaining tennis players and associates could not be clearer: Shut up or ship out.

Twitter user Shannon had social media users divided over her delivery driver's reaction as she told him she was worried about getting 'fat' while ordering a kebab
A takeaway fan divided Twitter users after she told a delivery driver she was worried about getting 'fat'.
Twitter user Shannon took to the social media site to share the sweet exchange between her and the food courier after she ordered a kebab.
Writing to her 2,436 followers, she said: "I ordered food from the kebab (again) and when the delivery man come to my door I said 'Omg I’m gunna get so fat and then he text me this."
Shannon then shared a screenshot of the message from the delivery man, which read: "Hi, you got me worried what you said about getting fat, don't worry you're not fat, hope you are okay."
Social media fans were loving the post, with it racking up more than 16,000 retweets and 375,000 likes.
One exclaimed: "THAT IS SO SWEET. He has probably struggled with or knows someone who has struggled with an eating disorder so he’s probably hyper-aware of that kind of stuff so he wanted to reassure you."
While another added: "The fact he checked on you and your mental health is so kind, the world needs more people like him."
A third chimed in: "Find a delivery guy who has your back like this..."
Despite many finding the exchange adorable, some thought it was a bit odd he had messaged her, with others claiming he wanted to 'get in her pants'.
One social media user wrote: "Bit worried that he's got her number and decided to message her in the first place. If it had been me I would have just said she wasn't fat the next time I delivered her kebab."
Another added: "Be careful with that, I once had a delivery bloke hounding me via text."
And a third chimed in: "He’s trying to get in her pants."
Shannon seemed baffled by all the attention on the post as she exclaimed: "F**k me, I only wanted to share that my delivery driver was nice," followed by laughing emojis.

DUBAI, Jan 9 (Reuters) - Foreign companies will not be allowed to test COVID-19 vaccines on the Iranian people, President Hassan Rouhani said on Saturday, a day after Iran's Supreme Leader banned vaccine imports from the United States and Britain.
"Foreign companies wanted to give us vaccines so they would be tested on the Iranian people. But the health ministry prevented it," Rouhani said in televised remarks, without naming the companies or giving further details.
"Our people will not be a testing device for vaccine manufacturing companies," he added. "We shall purchase safe foreign vaccines."
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's highest authority, said on Friday the U.S. and Britain were "untrustworthy" and possibly sought to spread the infection to other countries.
Iran could obtain vaccines from other reliable places, he added, without giving details. China and Russia are both allies of Iran, the Middle East country hardest hit by the coronavirus.
Khamenei repeated the accusations in a tweet that was removed by Twitter along with a message saying it violated the platform's rules against misinformation.
Iran launched human trials of its first domestic COVID-19 vaccine candidate late last month, saying it could help the country defeat the pandemic despite U.S. sanctions that affect its ability to import vaccines.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have been on the rise since 2018, when President Donald Trump abandoned a 2015 nuclear deal and re-imposed sanctions. (Editing by Lisa Barrington and Jan Harvey)

Pirmadienį Pasaulio rankinio čempionate Egipte paaiškėjo pirmos 12 rinktinių, kurios tęsia kovą antrajame varžybų etape, praneša Lietuvos rankinio federacija.
H Grupėje pergalingai pirmąjį etapą užbaigė Rusijos rankinio federacijos komanda, kuri 30:26 (15:15) paskutiniajame mače įveikė Pietų Korėjos rankininkus. Šios rungtynės nei vienai iš komandų nieko nelėmė, kadangi korėjiečiai jau neturėjo šansų patekti į antrą varžybų etapą, tad rusams pergalė prieš juos taškų kitame etape taip pat neatnešė.
Daug svarbesnė kova šioje grupėje vyko tarp Slovėnijos ir Baltarusijos nacionalinių komandų. Nors abi rinktinės jau buvo užsitikrinusios vietą kitame etape, tačiau jų tarpusavio rungtynių rezultatas skaičiuosis ir toliau. Slovėnai, pradėję čempionatą sutriuškinimu Rusijai, šįkart 29:25 (15:15) pranoko Baltarusijos rinktinę.
Antrajame etape Rusija startuoja su 3 įskaitiniais taškais, slovėnai savo sąskaitoje turės 2 taškus, o Baltarusija – 1.
Šios trys komandos varžysis vienoje grupėje su Švedijos, Egipto ir Šiaurės Makedonijos rinktinėmis.
Pirmadienio vakarą švedai pasiekė svarbią pergalę 24:23 (9:12) prieš turnyro šeimininkus Egipto rankininkus. Šis laimėjimas leido švedams užimti pirmąją vietą grupėje ir į antrą etapą žengti su 4 įskaitiniais taškais. Egiptiečiai turės 2 taškus.
Išgyvenimo rungtynes šioje grupėje laimėjo Šiaurės Makedonijos rinktinė, kuri po permainingos kovos 32:29 (16:17) pranoko Čilės komandą. Vis tik nors makedonai ir pateko į kitą etapą, jų situacija bus komplikuota, kadangi varžybas jie tęs neturėdami įskaitinių taškų. Nepaisant to, tai neturėtų gadinti geros šios rinktinės nuotaikos, kadangi į planetos pirmenybes ji pateko pirmenybių išvakarėse pakeitusi čekus, kurie dalyvauti negalėjo dėl koronaviruso protrūkio rinktinėje.
F grupėje, kurioje varžėsi dvi Lietuvos rinktinės varžovės Europos čempionato atrankoje, viskas išsisprendė gana paprastai. Paskutinę dieną portugalai 26:19 (14:9) pranoko Alžyro rankininkus, o islandai 31:23 (15:10) nugalėjo Maroką.
Visas 3 pergales pirmajame etape pasiekusi Portugalija į kitą etapą keliauja su 4 taškais, islandai savo sąskaitoje turės 2, o Alžyras – 0.
Panaši situacija susiklostė ir mirtininkų E grupėje, su kurios rinktinėmis kitame etape ir žais Alžyras, Portugalija ir Islandija.
Vieni iš čempionato favoritų prancūzai paskutiniajame mače tik per plauką išnešė sveiką kailį ir 25:24 (14:14) palaužė šveicarus. Ši pergalė prancūzams garantavo pirmąją vietą ir 4 taškus antrajame etape, o šveicarai nors ir nebaigė savojo pasirodymo, tačiau įskaitinių tašku antrajame etape neturės.
Su 2 taškais kito etapo kovas pradės norvegai. Jie pirmadienį vėlai vakare 38:29 (20:17) nugalėjo Austrijos rankininkus. Pastariesiems čempionatas baigėsi būtent su grupės varžybomis. Austrams turėtų būti itin apmaudu, kadangi jų grupėje turėjo būti ir JAV rankininkai, tačiau juos pakeitę šveicarai jau pirmajame mače pranoko savo kaimynus. Akivaizdu, kad giliu rankinio tradicijų neturinti JAV rinktinė šioje grupėje didesnio vargo Europos komandos sukėlusi nebūtų.
Antradienį pasaulio čempionate Egipte paaiškės dar 12 rinktinių, kurios tęs varžybas. Visos čempionate toliau kovojančios 24 komandos bus suskirstytos į 4 grupes po 6 rinktines, o į ketvirtfinalį pateks tik po 2 stipriausias kiekvienos grupės komandas.

Celtic’s Scottish Premiership clash with Hibernian will still go ahead on Monday evening despite 13 first-team stars having to self-isolate along with boss Neil Lennon
Celtic’s clash with Hibernian will still go ahead on Monday evening despite 13 first-team stars having to self-isolate along with boss Neil Lennon.
The Hoops are take on Hibs in the Scottish Premiership, though the manager will not be in attendance at Celtic Park.
Christopher Jullien has tested positive for Covid-19 with other being deemed ‘close contacts’ and having to self-isolate.
A Celtic statement read: “Celtic Football Club confirmed today that Christopher Jullien has tested positive for Covid-19 and is self-isolating at home. We wish Christopher a speedy recovery.
“While all of the other members of the squad and backroom team have tested negative, we have been informed by the authorities that, having been deemed ‘close contacts’, Celtic manager Neil Lennon, assistant John Kennedy and 13 first-team players will be required to self-isolate on a precautionary basis as required by the current regulations.”
Despite the self-isolation, Celtic’s clash with Hibs is still set to go ahead with a number of players from the development squad expected to be called-up.
The positive test for Jullien comes with the Scottish champions having just spent six days in the United Arab Emirates as part of a mid-season training camp.
Upon return to Glasgow last Friday, the Celtic players were tested with just the one coming back positive.
Speaking last weekend, assistant boss John Kennedy admitted the club were guilty of "minor slip-ups" in response to Covid protocols during their time in Dubai.
And former Celtic star Kris Commons insists Hibs would be within their rights to refuse to play on Monday.
Commons said: “If I was a Hibs player, I wouldn't want to be going anywhere near Celtic Park tonight.
"Jack Ross and his players would be well within their rights to refuse to play.
"If the game does go ahead, what this has done ultimately is just heap massive pressure on Celtic when the training camp was intended for them to recharge, refresh and press the reset button.”

Jadon Sancho has addressed his summer transfer links to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United having bounced back to form with Borussia Dortmund under caretaker boss Edin Terzic
Jadon Sancho feels back to his best after brushing off links to Manchester United.
The England international had a poor start to the 2020/21 season in relation to his own high standards, and many blamed the uncertainty regarding a possible return to England.
Having managed five assists but no goals across his first 11 Bundesliga appearances of the season, Sancho has scored in back-to-back wins over Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig and created goals in both games.
The 20-year-old has now addressed his poor start to the campaign, and insisted that he is now feeling back to his best as Borussia Dortmund try to close the gap on Bayern Munich.
"Obviously this season has been very difficult for me personally," Sancho told bundesliga.com.
"So I knew when I went away, I just focused on my game and came back raring to go.
“I’m working hard every day in training and on the pitch so I'm just happy to get my goals and assists."
"It's just small adjustments," Terzic told ESPN after the win.
“Sometimes you have to accelerate on your first touch, don't get the opponent into situations where he can create two-vs-ones.
“We spoke a lot but Jadon was always doing his best in the last weeks and months, but sometimes it's like that.
"Players are not always performing on this level. He knew that.
“He stayed hungry and we tried to support him as a team. We tried to support him individually. It worked out well in the last three games.
“He scored three goals, and now three assists also. He's in a good way to get into his best form."

A mum who is battling cancer says her disabled seven-year-old daughter will have spent a year without having been to school by the time the current lockdown ends.

A mum who is battling cancer says her disabled seven-year-old daughter will have spent a year without having been to school by the time the current lockdown ends.
Carrie Leigh McLachlan has been undergoing gruelling treatment for non-hodgkin lymphoma while looking after Freya, who has not been through the gates since March.
Carrie says she has not seen the benefits of more than £1billion of funding the Government has allocated for vulnerable families, including those whose children have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Freya, who has cerebral palsy and needs suctioning to clear her airway, has had her schooling disrupted by a combination of her complex needs, infection control precautions during Covid-19 and the national lockdowns.
Carrie, a full-time carer, also has Freya’s siblings William, 15, Oliver, 12, and university-bound Jessica, 19, at home in Wirral, Merseyside.
Primary schools were ordered to close at the weekend in a last-minute decision by the Government as it reacted to surging coronavirus rates.
Carrie said: ‘We were getting Freya ready to go back to school.
‘She has been off since February, when she wasn’t well enough to go in as she had a chest infection.
‘She was due to go back when the first lockdown happened and then it was decided it was safer for her to stay at home.
‘We had been getting her ready to go back this time round, which included Zoom classes to get her used to her teachers again, and now we are back to square one.
‘She’s quite capable of learning but she’s not being given the opportunity. It’s hard for me as well because you have to make sure she doesn’t choke or vomit or have a seizure, you have to be on the ball.
‘It’s disappointing because we had been looking forward to some sense of normality and I don’t think it’s going to be February that she goes back, I think it’s going to be March.’
Carrie said that while Freya is classed as vulnerable, her school is presently only accepting the children of key workers due to staffing, with staff taking time off after either catching Covid-19 or needing to self-isolate.
Freya’s care team initially said in her Education, Health and Care Plan that she should stay away from school as a precaution against Covid-19.
The guidance changed in November but it came too late to send her back as the gates were shut on Monday.
‘Even if there had been one day a week there would have been something for her,’ Carrie said. ‘But there’s nothing at all.’
Carrie, 47, who has a supportive partner but is the sole parent in the home, is undergoing treatment for stage four cancer, where the disease spreads to surrounding parts of the body.
She had received 30 hours of free help a week in the home through the NHS continuing healthcare scheme but says this has been cut by a third.
Carrie is undergoing 15 rounds of radiotherapy which culminates on January 20 and will possibly be followed by further treatment.
However she said doctors have told her the outlook is ‘excellent’ as she has responded well to treatment ahead of tests in February which will show if she has overcome the disease.
On top of Freya’s needs, she also looks after William, a gifted student who is autistic and is also off school.
Metro.co.uk has been highlighting the plight of SEND children and their families during the pandemic, with parents saying they feel ‘abandoned’ and ‘exhausted’ trying to cope at home.
Carrie said: ‘I think a lot of my health problems are down to the pressures of having a disabled child and being tired all the time, it comes with the territory.
‘Then you have to deal with not having the right back-up and support, it does have a massive impact on parents.’
Children’s Minister Vicky Ford told Metro.co.uk last month that SEND pupils and their families are a ‘number one’ priority.
Mrs Ford outlined support including a £37million fund for children with complex needs as well as a £1.5billion increase to the SEND budget and nurses, therapists and other professionals who were resuming their duties through schools at the time.
However, Carrie remains unconvinced by the Government’s efforts to support families like hers during the pandemic.
‘We are massively overlooked,’ she said.
‘I can point you in the direction of at least four children with disabilities who haven’t gone back to school.
‘Freya’s school is excellent and they do send learning packs home, but it doesn’t compensate for her not going in.’
Carrie is now determined to plough through the lockdown and overcome cancer for the sake of her children.
‘I’m going to keep going with great difficulty and lots of coffee,’ she said.
‘I’ve got to home-school the two boys and Freya again with the cut care hours and no local family. I’m also shielding because I’m classed as vulnerable.
‘Life is on hold again and I’m not even allowed energy drinks because of the cancer, I think the next two months are just going to be sponsored by coffee.’
The Department for Education (DfE) has said previously: Throughout the pandemic we’ve prioritised pupils with SEND including those with Education, Health and Care Plans for whom we kept schools open where it was safe to do so.
‘We’ve provided more than £37million this year to help thousands of low-income families raising disabled or seriously ill children with the challenge they face staying at home.
‘Our £1billion Covid catch-up fund includes additional weighting for specialist settings in recognition of the higher costs they face.
‘At the same time, we are increasing high needs funding for local authorities by £780million this year and a further £730million next year, which means high needs budgets will have grown by 24% in just two years.’

MILANO - Protagonista di un rapido saliscendi nelle ultime settimane, e non è certo la prima volta, il Bitcoin è tornato ad essere uno degli asset più chiacchierati dei mercati finanziari e non solo. La criptovaluta si è posizionato la scorsa settimana in area 35.880 dollari, registrando nella sola seduta di venerdì prima un valore di quasi 40 mila dollari e poi una discesa nell'ordine dei dieci punti percentuali. Dopo il picco del 7 gennaio, quando la moneta virtuale ha toccato i 41 mila dollari, la criptovaluta è prima scivolata a 30 mila dollari il giorno 11. Al netto del saliscendi e del dibattito che ciclicamente generano le criptovalute, per un numero sempre maggiore di investitori il Bitcoin rappresenta una scommessa in portafoglio. Ecco allora un aspetto importante da chiarire: il suo trattamento fiscale. Dario Sencar, Partner di PwC TLS, e Giovanni Falsitta ci guidano rispondendo alle domande più comuni sul punto. Con una premessa importante: la materia, oltre che assai complessa, è in parte ancora poco definita.
Accusa e difesa, processo al Bitcoin: ma intanto tutti provano a imitarlo di Ettore Livini 18 Gennaio 2021
1. Come sono inquadrati i Bitcoin dal punto di vista fiscale dalle norme italiane?
Il quadro normativo fiscale italiano, ed in particolare le regole fiscali che disciplinano la tassazione diretta e indiretta, non contiene definizioni né tantomeno criteri impositivi che, in modo esplicito, diretto ed immediato, consentano di inquadrare, qualificare e trattare i "bitcoin". Il quadro normativo fiscale italiano è frutto della combinazione dell'attività interpretativa della Corte di Giustizia, che nel 2015 ha emesso una fondamentale sentenza con riferimento al trattamento ai fini IVA dei servizi di intermediazione dei bitcoin (Causa C-264/14), e dell'Agenzia dell'entrate, che a partire dal 2016 ha offerto indicazioni su come trattare i bitcoin e le criptovalute assimilabili attraverso risposte ad interpelli (Risoluzione n. 72/E del 2 settembre 2016, Risposta n. 956-39/2018, quest'ultima diffusa solo ufficiosamente). L'attività legislativa e regolamentare ha avuto impatto limitato sull'impostazione che l'Agenzia delle entrate ha mantenuto negli anni: i bitcoin e le criptovalute la cui finalità prevalente è di fungere da mezzo di pagamento, i cosiddetti Payment token (quali bitcoin, ether, litecoin) vanno assimilati a "valute straniere" tradizionali.
Questo, tuttavia, non vale per tutte quelle criptovalute che, diversamente dai bitcoin (payment token), abbiano quale funzione principale quella di rappresentare un diritto di partecipazione o di credito (security token) o il diritto di ricevere un bene o servizio (utility token). In questo caso, infatti, l'impostazione (maggiormente criticata) dell'Agenzia delle entrate sembra quella di applicare il trattamento previsto per gli strumenti finanziari a cui possono essere assimilati o per i rapporti da cui deriva il diritto di acquistare a termine (Risposta n. 14 del 28 settembre 2018 e Risposta n. 110 del 20 aprile 2020). In questa guida prenderemo in considerazione solamente criptovalute quali il bitcoin ed i payment token.
2. Bisogna denunciare il possedimento di Bitcoin, quando e con quali effetti?
Le istruzioni alla dichiarazione dei redditi indicano le "valute virtuali" (bitcoin), come definite dal Decreto Antiriciclaggio, tra le attività estere di natura finanziaria per cui è previsto l'obbligo di compilare il quadro RW della dichiarazione dei redditi. Il quadro deve essere compilato, ai fini del monitoraggio fiscale dalle persone fisiche residenti in Italia che detengono investimenti all'estero e attività estere di natura finanziaria, suscettibili di produrre redditi imponibili in Italia, a titolo di proprietà o di altro diritto reale indipendentemente dalle modalità della loro acquisizione (la disciplina è contenuta nell'articolo 4 del decreto legge n. 167 del 1990).
Nella Risposta n. 956-39/2018, l'Agenzia delle entrate ha fornito alcuni chiarimenti in merito, affermando che le valute virtuali (bitcoin) ricadono nel perimetro di applicazione della norma in quanto attività finanziarie estere detenute in Italia al di fuori del circuito degli intermediari residenti a cui è esteso l'obbligo di monitoraggio, previsto normalmente per la attività detenute all'estero in forza dei chiarimenti resi con la circolare 23 dicembre 2013, n. 38/E (paragrafo 1.3.1.).
Sotto il profilo operativo, l'Agenzia delle entrate chiarisce che:
Un aspetto che non sembra del tutto chiarito è se in ragione dell'assimilazione che l'Agenzia delle entrate fa dei wallet ai depositi e conti correnti, possa applicarsi l'esenzione dall'obbligo di monitoraggio, prevista per i depositi e conti correnti bancari detenuti all'estero, nel caso in cui l'ammontare di criptovaluta posseduta sia inferiore a 15.000 (art. 2 della Legge n. 186 del 2014). L'opinione diffusa è che l'esclusione possa essere estesa anche alle valute virtuali; non sembrano tuttavia rinvenirsi chiarimenti espressi sul punto. E' bene chiarire che la compilazione del quadro RW, che risponde all'obbligo di monitoraggio fiscale, non implica l'assoggettamento a imposizione dei valori indicati per la cui tassazione, come illustrato infra, devono ricorrere specifiche condizioni di imponibilità.
Bitcoin, nuovo record sopra 40 mila dollari: "Dietro la corsa il sogno del guadagno facile" di Flavio Bini , Raffaele Ricciardi 08 Gennaio 2021
3. Ho creato un portafoglio su una piattaforma di scambio di criptovalute e acquistato Bitcoin per euro 100.000. Dopo tre mesi ho rivenduto i Bitcoin per euro 150.000. Quel guadagno mi viene tassato?
L'Agenzia delle Entrate applica le regole di tassazione delle valute estere, previste dall'articolo 67, comma 1, lettera c-ter del TUIR. La norma che si colloca nell'ambito della tassazione dei "redditi diversi" - categoria in cui confluiscono ad es. i redditi derivanti dalla cessione di beni finanziari - prevede che la cessione a titolo oneroso di valute estere sia fiscalmente rilevante in due fattispecie:
Lasciando da parte l'ipotesi della cessione a termine, nel caso più comune di cessione a pronti è necessario partire dal fatto che l'Agenzia delle entrate ritiene che ogni tipologia di wallet utilizzata (e.g. paper wallet, hardware, desktop, mobile, custodian e non) sia da assimilarsi ad un rapporto di deposito o conto corrente. Tale posizione, oggetto di ampie critiche, implica che l'elemento da esaminare per sapere se la plusvalenza realizzata (ossia la differenza positiva tra il costo di acquisto ed il prezzo di vendita) dalla cessione di bitcoin sia o meno imponibile, diventa verificare la giacenza complessiva detenuta in valuta estera tenendo conto che il calcolo va fatto prendendo il tasso di cambio bitcoin/euro del 1 gennaio dell'anno e che questa vada calcolata, complessivamente, per tutti i depositi e conti correnti in valuta estera detenuti. La disponibilità ad esempio di un conto corrente in cui siano depositati 50.000 dollari comporta che il possesso di bitcoin il cui controvalore sia superiore a 1.645,69 euro integra il superamento della soglia impositiva.
Un altro aspetto da considerare, in un contesto di elevata fluttuazione come quello del bitcoin, è che il conseguimento di una plusvalenza significativamente superiore alla soglia prevista di per sé non comporta la tassazione, in quanto è possibile che prendendo il tasso di cambio di inizio anno, il controvalore del portafoglio non superi l'importo minimo. Il rally avuto dal valore del bitcoin nel 2020, passato dai 6.500 euro del 1 gennaio ai 26.500 del 31 dicembre, è emblematico in tal senso.
In merito al tasso di cambio, la risposta dell'Agenzia delle entrate ritiene utilizzabile il tasso di cambio presente sul sito su cui è avvenuto l'acquisto di bitcoin o, in mancanza, su quello maggiormente utilizzato dal contribuente. Nel caso in cui cioè non sia possibile, perché ad esempio i bitcoin siano stati acquistati e negoziati tramite canali che non pubblicano tale valore, dovrebbe essere possibile ricorrere alle informazioni di settore raccolte e rese disponibili da operatori finanziari (e.g. Coin Market Cap).
Assumendo che la soglia sia superata e che più in generale siano integrate le condizioni per l'assoggettamento a imposizione, è necessario determinare la plusvalenza. Questo non sempre può essere un esercizio semplice. Le regole generali prevedono che:
Nell'esempio pertanto, assunto di avere superato la soglia di tassazione, la plusvalenza di euro 50.000, sarà assoggettata a tassazione.
4. Quando si genera la plusvalenza? E se decidessi di convertire i Bitcoin in euro ma tenerli sul portafoglio virtuale, oppure convertirli in un'altra criptovaluta?
La plusvalenza confluirà nella dichiarazione relativa al periodo di imposta in cui avviene la cessione (e.g. se la plusvalenza viene conseguita nel 2021, la dichiarazione relativa sarà presentata nel 2022). Assumendo che il contribuente non abbia altri redditi diversi di natura finanziaria, gli utili da bitcoin realizzati nell'anno, da indicare nel quadro RT del modello Redditi PF, saranno assoggettati ad un'imposta sostitutiva con aliquota del 26 per cento. In caso di perdita, questa sarà utilizzabile fino a concorrenza delle plusvalenze dei periodi d'imposta, ma non oltre il quarto.
Lo stesso vale in caso di permuta verso altra criptovaluta o altro bene, in quanto dal punto di vista fiscale si configurano a tutti gli effetti come cessioni.
A questi casi, va poi aggiunta l'ipotesi del prelievo che, nel contesto delle valute estere tradizionali, configura un evento impositivo nel momento stesso in cui la valuta venga prelevata dal deposito o dal conto corrente. In questi casi, la plusvalenza o la minusvalenza, calcolate come detto sopra, assumono rilevanza al momento del prelievo (i.e. plusvalenza o minusvalenza andranno inserite nella dichiarazione del periodo di imposta in corso).
5. Ho investito in Bitcoin ed Ethereum. Sul primo investimento ho generato una plusvalenza, sul secondo una minusvalenza. Si possono compensare le due (o più) operazioni?
Sì. La norma prevede che le plusvalenze derivanti dalla cessione di valute estere (e pertanto anche di bitcoin secondo l'impostazione dell'Agenzia delle entrate) siano sommate algebricamente alle relative minusvalenze, e a quelle derivanti dalla cessione di altre attività finanziarie (e.g. partecipazioni, obbligazioni). Peraltro, se l'ammontare complessivo delle minusvalenze e delle perdite è superiore all'ammontare complessivo delle plusvalenze e degli altri redditi, l'eccedenza può essere portata in deduzione, fino a concorrenza, dalle plusvalenze e dagli altri redditi dei periodi d'imposta successivi ma non oltre il quarto. Condizione necessaria è che tale eccedenza sia indicata nella dichiarazione dei redditi relativa al periodo d'imposta nel quale le minusvalenze e le perdite sono state realizzate (articolo 68 comma 5 del TUIR).
6. Se decido di tenere un portafoglio di Bitcoin per acquistare beni e servizi online, devo trattarli al pari di un investimento?
La finalità di detenzione non ha impatti sul trattamento fiscale. E' interessante sottolineare quanto si diceva prima e cioè che, al ricorrere delle condizioni di imposizione, anche la spendita di un bitcoin per l'acquisto di un bene (es: caffè) genera in linea di principio un evento impositivo: in tal caso, il costo della criptovaluta viene determinato sulla base del costo di acquisto e il corrispettivo è costituito dal valore normale in euro del bene o del servizio ricevuto in cambio (articolo 68 comma 6 del TUIR).
7. E per le aziende valgono gli stessi discorsi, o possono essere considerate delle "tesorerie" in Bitcoin?
Per le aziende il mondo cambia significativamente poiché è necessario tenere conto dei principi contabili di riferimento per la redazione del bilancio di esercizio e delle posizioni assunte dagli organismi contabili, quando non anche da autorità di vigilanza (ad esempio nel caso di soggetti vigilati quali gli intermediari finanziari). Nel giugno 2019, l'organismo contabile internazionale (International Accounting Standards Board) ha offerto la sua posizione, condivisa anche da organismi contabili di altri paesi (e.g. Australian Accounting Standards Board), in base a cui le criptovalute non potrebbero essere considerate valuta e andrebbero piuttosto inquadrate come "rimanenze" o "attività intangibili". La posizione è diametralmente opposta a quella cui è giunta l'Agenzia delle entrate facendo leva sui principi espressi dalla Corte di Giustizia nel 2015, secondo cui, già nella risoluzione del 2016, "con riferimento, ai bitcoin che a fine esercizio sono nella disponibilità (a titolo di proprietà) di una società si ritiene che gli stessi debbano essere valutati secondo il cambio in vigore alla data di chiusura dell'esercizio e tale valutazione assume rilievo ai fini fiscali ai sensi dell'articolo 9 del testo unico delle imposte sui redditi approvato con d.P.R. 22 dicembre 1986, n. 917 (Tuir). Occorre, quindi, far riferimento al valore normale, intendendosi per tale il valore corrispondente alla quotazione degli stessi bitcoin al termine dell'esercizio". L'impressione è che i profili contabili e fiscali relativi alle imprese compongano un'area ancora in parte inesplorata, rispetto a cui in assenza di chiarimenti è solo possibile affidarsi alle brevi indicazioni disponibili sopra riportate.
8. A quali Autorità spetta il controllo di questi processi?
Dal punto di vista fiscale le attività di indirizzo e di controllo sono ordinariamente affidate ad Agenzia delle entrate e alla Guardia di Finanza a cui, ad opera anche di una recente modifica al D.Lgs. 90 del 2017 sulla disciplina antiriciclaggio, sono stati affidati poteri più ampi per svolgere indagini e acquisire documenti con riferimento a cambiavalute di monete virtuali e operatori in servizi relativi al portafogli digitali. Dal punto di vista regolamentare, i poteri di vigilanza e di controllo per la tutela del risparmio e la solidità del sistema finanziario sono affidati a Banca d'Italia e Consob, che negli ultimi anni hanno espresso in più occasioni forti perplessità sui rischi connessi alla detenzione di bitcoin da parte di intermediari finanziari e di offerta di servizi di investimento al pubblico.
9. Le piattaforme per il trading di Bitcoin hanno obblighi di denuncia o di agire come sostituti d'imposta?
Secondo il quadro normativo attuale, le piattaforme sono escluse dalla possibilità (o dal dovere) di assolvere gli obblighi impositivi per conto del titolare di criptovalute per due ordini di motivi. Il primo è che i redditi derivanti dalla negoziazione di valute estere (e pertanto anche bitcoin e payment token) non sono di per sé soggetti a ritenuta, in quanto redditi diversi, e non possono essere inclusi nel regime di risparmio amministrato che comporta che sia l'intermediario presso cui le attività finanziarie sono depositate ad assoggettare ad imposizione i redditi eventualmente conseguiti (articolo 6 del D.Lgs. 461 del 1997). Il secondo l'offerta di servizi di gestione del risparmio, che in linea di principio dovrebbe consentire di includere i redditi di valuta tra quelli oggetti di assoggettamento a tassazione da parte dell'intermediario (articolo 7 del D.Lgs. 461 del 1997), è riservata agli intermediari finanziari, tra cui nel contesto attuale non sembrano rientrare le piattaforme di investimento in criptovaluta. Ne consegue che per imporre alle piattaforme l'obbligo di prelevare ritenute sui bitcoin sarebbe necessaria una espressa previsione normativa.
Mentre sul secondo non c'è dubbio che l'obbligo ricada anche sulle piattaforme di scambio di criptovalute, in virtù delle modifiche apportate al decreto legge 28 giugno 1990, n. 167 dal D.Lgs. 90 del 2017, non è chiaro se le piattaforme debbano adempiere anche al primo obbligo.
10. Ci sono legislazioni a livello internazionale che fanno da riferimento per la materia?
I paesi che sono intervenuti legislativamente o amministrativamente sulla disciplina delle criptovalute sono ormai numerosi; tuttavia non è semplice identificare una "legislazione di riferimento", soprattutto perché non è chiaro quali siano i criteri sulla base dei quali esprimere un giudizio di questo tipo. Gli elementi da considerare potrebbero essere molti quali ad esempio la libertà di iniziative aventi ad oggetto criptovalute, la tutela del risparmio, la presenza di un basso livello di tassazione, la disponibilità di quadri normativi d'avanguardia. A ben vedere non tutte queste aree sono correlate e anzi in alcuni casi possono entrare in conflitto; si pensi ad esempio al fatto che ecosistema altamente deregolamentato potrebbe nascondere rischi per i risparmiatori.
Consapevoli di questa difficoltà e dell'interesse di identificare il contesto più favorevole per sviluppare iniziative imprenditoriali in un business per definizione globale, nel 2020 PwC ha promosso a livello globale un'indagine sulla legislazione di circa 30 paesi con l'obiettivo di attribuire un punteggio sulla base della completezza e della chiarezza della disciplina, da cui sono stati esclusi solo i paesi che presentano restrizioni alle transazioni in criptovalute totali o particolarmente significative.
11. A chi spetta fare chiarezza?
Gli organismi internazionali coinvolti sono numerosi, come numerosi sono i documenti di indirizzo pubblicati e i progetti avviati. Tra i più rilevanti e recenti a livello europeo ci sono:
A livello internazionale, è da segnalare l’attività del Financial Action Task Force del G7 avviata già nel 2014 e il progetto avviato dal OECD sulla blockchain e le criptovalute, in seno a cui recentemente è stato avviato un progetto specifico sulla tassazione delle criptovalute documentato dal report pubblicato alla fine del 2020 dal titolo “Taxing Virtual Currencies: An Overview of Tax Treatments and Emerging Tax Policy Issues”.

More than 30,000 people packed into the Houston Astrodome and 90 million people watched around the world - so what if she had lost?
Billie Jean King won 20 titles at Wimbledon in singles, doubles and mixed doubles, and 39 Grand Slam titles in all, but she will be remembered more for her achievements off the court than on it.
Equal prize money between women and men at the biggest tournaments, an established women’s tennis tour, and global, instantly recognisable female stars are the result of her work and leadership, and she is as dedicated to making a difference at the age of 77 as she ever was.
In an interview with The Tennis Podcast, King talks about what was at stake in her 1973 Battle of the Sexes match against Bobby Riggs, when more than 30,000 people packed into the Houston Astrodome and 90 million people watched around the world. What if she had lost? King tells podcast host Catherine Whitaker that she knew the landscape of professional tennis, and indeed sport and society, might have looked very different for many years to come.
Over nearly two hours, King discusses the strategy she and her contempories employed to pursue equal prize money, her wish that tennis fans, players and media would learn more about the history of the sport to better understand the present, and her optimism for the future.
The Tennis Podcast is produced twice weekly, and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments.

Fulham, Tottenham, Chelsea and Aston Villa have all been forced to change their immediate plans after an emergency change to Premier League fixtures
The Premier League have made emergency change to their fixture schedule that has altered the immediate plans of Tottenham, Fulham, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Spurs who were due to take on Villa on Wednesday, will now be coming up against Scott Parker’s men in a clash that was postponed from earlier in the month.
That fixture was one of two that was pushed back for the west Londoners, and they have been ordered to fulfil it with just two days notice following a outbreak in Dean Smith’s squad.
In addition, their clash against Chelsea has been pushed back from Friday to Saturday.
The Athletic add that Fulham are not happy with facing Spurs at such short notice because they had not been preparing for a midweek game.
Villa are the latest team to be effected by a string of positive tests, which forced the club to field a squad made up of teenagers to take on Liverpool in the FA Cup.
Despite their impressive performance, there is said to be concerns over fairness and integrity after previous outbreaks lead to the postponement of matches in the league this season.
The full Premier League statement reads: "Aston Villa's match against Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at Villa Park on Wednesday 13 January, has been rescheduled following a decision by the Premier League Board.
"Following Aston Villa's request to rearrange the fixture, and due to the number of players and staff who have either tested positive for COVID-19 or have been placed in isolation by the club, the Premier League had no other option than to reschedule the match.
"With the health of players and staff the priority, the League continues to work with Aston Villa on measures to ensure their League season resumes safely and at the earliest opportunity.
"The Premier League wishes those with COVID-19 a full and swift recovery and will rearrange Aston Villa's match against Spurs as soon as possible.
"As a result of this rescheduling, Spurs will now play their home match against Fulham in its place, on Wednesday 13 January at 20.15 GMT, live on Amazon Prime Video in the UK. The fixture was previously postponed on 30 December.
"With Fulham now playing on Wednesday 13 January, their home fixture against Chelsea will be moved from Friday 15 January to Saturday 16 January at 17.30 GMT, and will remain live on Sky Sports in the UK.
"Everton's match at Aston Villa will be rescheduled from Saturday 16 January 17:30 GMT to Sunday 17 January 12:00 GMT, and will remain live on Sky Sports in the UK.
"The Premier League, in consultation with its clubs, has enhanced its COVID-19 protocols, in addition to reimplementing a twice-weekly testing programme. The protocols, which strengthen key elements of the current guidance, came into immediate effect this week."

Jadeja's hand injury piles on pressure on India bowlers

SYDNEY, Jan 9 (Reuters) - India were left to count the cost of an injury to Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday after the left-arm spinner was unable to take the field in Australia's second innings after suffering a blow to his bowling hand while batting.
The 32-year-old was hit on his left thumb as he looked to defend a rising delivery from Australia quick Mitchell Starc.
He continued batting after receiving treatment on the field and was later taken for scans in a blow to India's hopes of restricting the hosts from setting a big target in the second innings of the third test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Jadeja was India's best bowler in the first innings and his four wickets for 62 helped the side restrict Australia to 338.
His absence left India with four bowlers in the second innings and number three batsman Cheteshwar Pujara felt it put more pressure on the attack.
"It puts a little extra pressure on the other bowlers to come in and bowl more overs," Pujara told reporters. "It's never easy... especially someone like Ravindra, who got four wickets in the first innings and he can keep bowling from one end."
Jadeja remained unbeaten on 28 as India were bundled out for 244 with Australia stretching their lead to 197 with two days remaining in the penultimate match of the four-test series.
India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant also had to make a trip to the hospital for a scan after he was hit on his left elbow while trying to play a pull shot against fast bowler Pat Cummins.
While the touring side had Wriddhiman Saha replacing Pant behind the stumps, there was no replacement for Jadeja's accurate and astute left-arm spin bowling.
India also missed his athleticism on the field, displayed in the first innings when he put an end to Steve Smith's knock of 131 with a direct hit from the deep.
"He's someone who puts lot of pressure on the batter and bowls many dot balls," Pujara added. "He's always valuable on the field not just as a bowler, even as fielder. Losing him is kind of a blow for us." (Reporting by Sudipto Ganguly in Mumbai; editing by Richard Pullin)

Loose Women returned to our screens on Monday with exciting news that Charlene White has joined the panel following the departures of Saira Khan and Andrea McLean
ITV newsreader Charlene White has been confirmed as a new Loose Women anchor.
The 40-year-old television star was unveiled the show's new host on Monday afternoon as she joined Nadia Sawalha, Stacey Solomon and Frankie Bridge on the show.
Charlene already guest anchored in October as part of the chat show's first all-black line up last year.
She received glowing reviews from fans of the ITV daytime show and viewers rushed to their keyboards to discuss the exciting news today.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: "Loose Women making a good step. Rock on Charlene, the perfect Anchor I must say.. "
Another added: "Lovely to see Charlene again on Loose Women."
A third person posted: "Welcome to the family Charlene."
While a fourth said: "i absolutely love watching Charlene on the news so am over the moon she's a new Loose Woman.
"I’m so glad Charlene White is the new anchor," said a fifth fan.
Charlene will be a permanent anchor, rotating with the likes of Ruth Langsford, Christine Lampard and Kaye Adams.
Former host Andrea McLean announced she was leaving the show in November and her last appearance aired in December.
The presenter got teary as she told the panel, Linda Robson, Saira Khan and Brenda Edwards that she is stepping down to pursue new opportunities.
Announcing she'd already told the others before the show, she said: "I'm going to be leaving Loose Women because I want to be brave.
"All the incredible feedback I had from my book [This Girl Is on Fire: How to Live, Learn and Thrive in a Life You Love] and the support I was able to give them, I want to bring it to life.
"It was a really really big decision to jump and see if I fall or if I fly. And I just thought, 'I will never know unless I try'. So, I'm saying goodbye to Loose Women."
Panelist Saira Khan also confirmed last week that she has quit Loose Women.
The former Apprentice star joined the show in 2005, and decided to leave after spending time with her loved ones in lockdown.

Antradienį VUL Santaros klinikose vyksta inkstų transplantacijos operacija. Pirmadienį vakare šiose klinikose užregistruotas potencialus donoras, kurio artimieji sutiko velionio organus paaukoti donorystei.
Nacionalinio transplantacijos biuro prie SAM koordinatoriai nuo pirmadienio vakaro koordinuoja transplantacijos procesą po to, kai Vilniaus universiteto ligoninės Santaros klinikos informavo, jog užregistruotas potencialus donoras. Tai, kaip praneša Nacionalinis transplantacijos biuras, jau penktasis efektyvus donoras šiais metais.
Gavus šeimos narių sutikimą mirusiojo organus padovanoti sunkiai sergantiems ligoniams, atlikti įvairūs tyrimai, kuriais medikai įvertino, kad donorystei tinkami žmogaus inkstai. Tose pačiose klinikose jie bus persodinti dviem sunkiomis inkstų ligomis sergantiems recipientams. Po inkstų transplantacijos jie galės grįžti prie kitiems įprasto gyvenimo – ne tik kurti šeimą, dirbti, keliauti, tačiau ir valgyti bei gerti neskaičiuojant skysčių kiekio.
Tinkamo inksto donoro šiuo metu laukia 119 recipientų, iš jų – vienas vaikas. Dar šeši recipientai laukia kasos ir inksto komplekso, sakoma Nacionalinio transplantacijos biuro pranešime.
Inkstų transplantacija yra pati laukiamiausia, jų ir atliekama daugiausiai. Vien šiais metais, Nacionalinio transplantacijos biuro duomenimis, inkstų transplantacijų jau atlikta dešimt. 2020 metais jų atlikta 82. Tarp jų – trys transplantacijos iš gyvo donoro.
Praėjusiais metais buvo užregistruota 112 potencialių donorų. Kiekvienas donoras yra ypatinga viltis ir galimybė sergantiems žmonėms sugrįžti į įprastą gyvenimą. Kad organai būtų tinkami donorystei, žmogų reanimacijoje turi ištikti smegenų mirtis (retais atvejais organų donorais tampa donorai su neplakančia širdimi), o jo organai, palaikomi medicininės aparatūros ir vaistų, kurį laiką dar gali funkcionuoti.
Kad potencialus donoras taptų efektyviu ir jo organai būtų transplantuoti laukiantiems žmonėms, velionio organai turi būti sveiki ir tinkami transplantacijai, tačiau visų pirma ir svarbiausia – artimieji turi sutikti paaukoti jo organus donorystei. Todėl kiekvienas donoras yra ypatingas ir svarbus, nes tai, kad jo organai galiausiai vėl funkcionuoja kito žmogaus kūne, yra daugelio sąlygų išpildymas.

Manavgat'ın Ilıca Mahallesi'nde yaşayan Şenay Yılmaz eşinin vefat etmesinin ardından tek başına yaşamaya başladı. Bir süre sonra evine gelen bir kediyi sahiplenen ve onunla zaman geçiren Yılmaz'ın kedisi, geçen yıl 29 Aralık'ta ortadan kayboldu. 2 gün sonra yeniden eve gelen kedinin aksadığını ve arka ayaklarını sürüdüğünü fark eden Yılmaz, veteriner Atila Sargın'ı arayarak yardım istedi.
'ÇOK SAYIDA SAÇMA İZİNE RASTLANDI'
Veteriner Atila Sargın tarafından filmleri çekilen kedinin arka ayaklarının olduğu bölgede çok sayıda saçma izine rastlandı. Yürümekte zorlanan ve arka ayaklarının üzerine güçlükle basan kedinin tedavisine başlanırken, Manavgat İlçe Jandarma Komutanlığı´nca olayla ilgili inceleme başlatıldı.
'SEVERKEN ELİME SERTLİKLER GELDİ'
Eşinin vefat etmesinden sonra kedinin evine geldiğini ve kendisine arkadaşlık ettiğini anlatan Şenay Yılmaz, "Bu kedi bana geleli bir sene oldu. Şu anda 1 yaşında. Aralık ayının 29'unda evden gitti, 31 Aralık'ta ikindi vakti arka ayaklarını sürüyerek geri geldi. Mama tabağından yemek yemeğe başladı. Severken bacaklarında elime sertlikler geldi. Veterinere telefon açtım. Kontrol etti, 'Bunu götürmemiz lazım' deyince, 'Oğlum ne gerekiyorsa onu yap' dedim" diye konuştu.
'ÜSTÜME YATAR, ELLERİNİ BOYNUMA KOYAR'
Veterinerin çektiği röntgen filminde kedinin vücudunda çok sayıda saçma çıkmasına çok üzüldüğünü söyleyen Şenay Yılmaz, "Ben ilk önce ya diğer kedilerle dövüştü veya araba çarptı diye düşündüm. Ama veteriner 'Tüfekle ateş edilmiş' deyince çok üzüldüm. Ben bu kediyi canım kadar sevdim. Buna bir şey oluncaya kadar bana olsun diyordum. Her yere yatmaz, üstüme yatar, ellerini boynuma koyar" dedi.
'ŞU AN TEDAVİSİNE DEVAM EDİYORUZ'
Veteriner hekim Atila Sargın da Şenay Yılmaz'ın kendisini aramasından sonra olaydan haberdar olduğunu belirterek, "Gelip baktığımda kedinin durumunun kötü olduğunu gördüm. Hemen aldım kliniğe götürdüm. Röntgeni çekince gördüm ki kedinin arka tarafında çok sayıda saçma var. Yani kedinin arka tarafında tüfekle ateş edilmiş. Bu kedi teyzenin canı gibi. Bir yıldır tanıyorum teyzeyi. Sürekli gelip kediye bakardım, onun aşılarını filan yaptım. Şu an kedinin tedavisine devam ediyoruz" diye konuştu.
'BUNU TEK BİR AMELİYATLA TOPLAMA ŞANSIMIZ YOK'
Hayvanlara yönelik şiddete son verilmesi gerektiğini belirten Sargın, sözlerini şöyle sürdürdü: "Bu canlarımıza artık böyle insanlar silah sıkmazsa, kurşun sıkmazsa çok mutlu olacağız. Kedinin vücudunda çok miktarda saçma var, belki 70- 80 tane. Bunu tek tek ameliyatla toplama şansımız yok. Bunu kedi enfeksiyon kapmadan bir şekilde düzelteceğiz. Zaten 2 gün öncesine göre şu an biraz daha iyi."
Deri altında olan saçmaların operasyonla alınacağı, derinde olanların ise alınması durumunda hayvanın daha fazla zarar göreceği için çıkarılmayacağı ve ilaç tedavisiyle zarar vermeyecek hale getirileceği öğrenildi.

Holly Willoughby returned to our screens on Monday to present This Morning and the ITV star shared an important message with viewers at home following reports of a lockdown rule change
This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby shared a touching message with viewers during Monday's show.
The 39-year-old star became emotional as she told those watching at home who were struggling they were never on their own.
She issued the sweet message following reports that the government may scrap support bubbles in a bid to stop coronavirus from spiralling out of control.
Holly's co-host Phillip Schofield said that taking support bubbles away would "throw the mental health of all ages into utter chaos."
Guest Matthew Wright agreed with Phillip's comment and Holly went on to issue a sweet message to viewers.
Speaking directly to the camera, the presenter said: "Hearing news like this, be it rumour or tittle tattle or whether it be the truth of what we are facing later on.
"If you are struggling and if you've been ok and just about holding on up until now and this is the thing that tips you over the edge, the most important thing is don't suffer in silence.
"And you might not be able to see that person or get in that support bubble but you can ask for help, you can call someone.
"There are Samaritans, there's (mental health charity) CALM, we've got lots of helplines on our app, do not think you are on your own.
"Because nothing, whatever you're going through, nothing is worth that."
Viewers at home rushed to social media to discuss the kind words from the television icon.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: "Well said Holly."
Another added: "Holly talking sense! Please ask for help if you are feeling low mood. Life is still very worth living even with Covid."
A third person posted: "Well said Holly. You are never alone. Don't ever think that.
"There are people to talk to when you need it. Mental health as well as Covid should be at the forefront during this hard time."

Piers Morgan declared he doesn’t want to see another lipstick ad aimed at women as he launched into a furious rant on today’s Good Morning Britain.
The 55-year-old presenter and his co-host Susanna Reid had been discussing the news that Radox will remove the words ‘for men’ from one of its product ranges following complaints the label is sexist, prompting his outraged response.
‘Women have lipstick and they have make-up ranges and when I last checked when I went down my supermarket store aisle, they’re aimed at women,’ Piers began.
‘I find that sexist.’
‘Sorry, I don’t want lipstick aimed at women,’ he continued. ‘Offensive! Offensive! How dare they?
‘How dare they use women to promote lipstick, I won’t have it I’m going to contact all these companies.
‘I want everything now to be unisex, everything to be gender-neutral, no more marketing towards women, it is illegal and sexist as of now.’
Piers added: ‘I wear make-up and I do not want any make-up marketed to only women, it is sexist.’
Piers was triggered after it was revealed Radox confirmed they would be removing ‘for men’ from their Muscle Therapy bath soaks for good.
‘We can confirm we’re removing the “for men” label from the packaging of our Radox Muscle Therapy Bath Soak whilst continuing to use it on some of our shower gel range,’ a spokesperson said.
‘At Radox we always try to design products that clearly explain their benefits and how they make you feel and smell and have a wide range of products available that can be used by both men and women.’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.

Borse europee in ordine sparso. Il voto al Senato non accende lo spread

MILANO - Ore 13:50. Le Borse europee diventano contrastate durante una seduta caratterizzata dall'attesa per l'insedimento del nuovo presidente Usa Joe Biden, previsto per domani. Una prima indicazione sulle mosse della nuova amministrazione Usa potrebbe arrivare già oggi quando in Senato è atteso l'intervento della futura segretaria al Tesoro, Janet Yellen, in cui l'ex numero uno della Fed dovrebbe esprimersi anche sul prossimo maxi piano di stimoli che la Casa Bianca vuole varare per risolllevare l'economia Usa. "Nè il presidente eletto (Joe Biden), né io, proponiamo questo piano di aiuti senza un aumento del peso del debito sul paese. Ma in questo momento, con i tassi di interesse ai minimi storici, la cosa più intelligente da fare è agire in modo importante", dovrebbe dire Yellen, in base a quanto emerge dagli estratti del suo discorso.
A metà giornata, Milano sale dello 0,4%. Diventano invece miste le altre Piazze europee: Londra cede lo 0,1%, Francoforte resta in rialzo dello 0,24% mentre Parigi è invariata. A Piazza Affari dopo il debutto sprint di ieri, riflettori ancora su Stellantis con il nuovo amministratore delegato Carlos Tavares che parlerà i conferenza stampa per la prima volta dalla nascita ufficiale del gruppo e con il titolo che dopo l'esordio in Europa, farà il bis questo pomeriggio a Wall Street. In Asia, deboli i listini cinesi con l'aumento dei casi Covid nel Paese, mentre Tokyo archivia la seduta con un robusto +1,39%.
Sulla sponda domestica l'attenzione è invece tutta per il voto al Senato sulla fiducia per il governo Conte. Dopo l'addio degli esponenti di Italia Viva dall'esecutivo, il presidente ora è in cerca di "costruttori" per puntellare la maggioranza. Come già nei giorni scorsi lo spread, tradizionale termometro delle preoccupazioni degli investitori, non sembra credere a una accelerazione della crisi. Il differenziale apre in calo a 113 punti dai 115,8 punti base della chiusura di ieri. Il rendimento del decennale italiano segna 0,61% da 0,628% di ieri sera.
Tra i dati macroeconomici non scuote i listini l'aggiornamento mensile dell'indice Zew sulle attese economiche in Germania, cresciuto a 61,8 punti rispetto ai 55 di dicembre, sopra le aspettative degli economisti che si attendevano un dato intorno ai 60 punti.
Dal lato delle valute l'euro risale legermente pur restando sotto soglia 1,21 dollari. La moneta europea passa di mano a 1,2093 dollari e 125,79 yen. Il cambio dollaro/yen è invece in rialzo a 104,02.
Il clima di ottimismo che si registra sul mercato si fa sentire anche sull e quotazioni del petrolio. Il Wti americano con consegna a febbraio guadagna lo 0,1% a 52,41 dollari al barile, mentre il Brent quotato a Londra è a 55,17 dollari, con un guadagno più consistente dello 0,77%.

This Morning's Phillip Schofield has hit out at government health advisors following reports that tougher coronavirus rules could be put in place later this week
This Morning presenter Phillip Schofield has lashed out at government advisors for "piling bad news" following reports that tougher lockdown restrictions are set to be put in place across the UK.
It has been suggested that tougher coronavirus rules could be put in place in the near future.
Phillip and co-host Holly Willoughby chatted to Matthew Wright and Julia Hartley-Brewer about the latest news of the day.
However, Phillip couldn't help but air his passionate views, as he revealed that he couldn't take any more "bad news" from government advisors and health specialists.
He said: "We can only take so much bad news. We are all mostly complying. We are all hoping we are protecting the ones we love.
"I have the people at the top like health specialists saying we may have this next Winter as well.
"I just want to say shut up with your bad news. We are all dealing with this now as it stands.
"You can't keep piling bad news on top of us. Lets get through this before telling us hope potentially rubbish life will be in 12 months time.
Viewers rushed to their keyboards to agree with presenter's point of view.
Taking to Twitter, one fan penned: "Well said Phil to much bad news give us some positive stuff as well and let us know the good news as well as the important stuff."
Another added: "@Schofe I agree with everything you said today. Hit the nail on the head, stop with the bad news. People can only take so much bad news and not having any hope or any positivity will drive people to the lowest of the low."
A third person posted: "Totally agree @Schofe about the bad news point."
While a fourth added: "Well said Phil sick of hearing about it everyday it’s depressing."
The ITV star ranted: "One of the things that makes me really angry is that we are all as a nation, as a world, all suffering.
It was announced on Monday that coronavirus restrictions could soon become tighter.
Ministers are thought to be considering toughening the rules amid concern the latest lockdown is not being followed strictly enough.
Rules banning people from different households, who are not in a support bubble, from exercising together are under discussion.
A further 563 deaths and 54,940 new cases were recorded on Sunday.

In five marvellous short films, by turns sinister and beautiful, the annual event brings a skilful simplicity to our locked-down screens

In five marvellous short films, by turns sinister and beautiful, the annual event brings a skilful simplicity to our locked-down screens
The boon of the London International Mime Festival is that – in normal years – some of the greatest exponents of this loosely defined theatrical form convene on the capital to brighten the dreariest month. The concomitant drag, though, is you have to leave the warmth of your home, must battle to the venue (not always central) and can be out again within an hour (brevity goes with the habitually, not automatically wordless territory).
So I find myself applauding, if not loudly, then maybe more Marcel Marceau-ishly, the pandemic-curtailed programme of 2021, which shifts the entire shebang online. In terms of novelties – aside from free talks across the fortnight and a plethora of workshops (mostly already signed-up-for) – it’s a much reduced affair this time. The principal “offer” is five short films. On top of that, however, there’s a “videotheque” section which affords a free archive of captured productions dating back to 1990 (the festival originated in 1977). Taken together, it should amply help to pass January.
The new short films are little marvels, and warrant repeat viewing. Back in that initial Jubilee year, there was the pioneering British Theatre of the Deaf (a professional company of deaf and partially-deaf actors). That long commitment to inclusion and innovation is reaffirmed in the first (monochrome) film, in which performer Jacqui Beckford delivers a British Sign Language accompaniment to a shuffling jazz rendition of the Prince weepie Nothing Compares 2 U. Her mournful hand-play speaks volumes: vanishing love is denoted by a fist flung out and fluttering into fingers, she cradles her head in one palm to depict long days in bed, and the evaluative title line entails a weighing of hands and a pointing at the distant other. Simple but achingly beautiful.
Next up is Andrew Dawson with Proximity. The time-honoured MimeFest participant is found standing on a chair in the middle of an urban common. He calmly conducts a deadpan ritual of intricate hand-play, arm-swinging and balancing. This solemn carry-on is juxtaposed with his surroundings in such a way that he seems to be not just copying but deeply communing with the arboreal splendour around him, lost in a realm of oblivion as dogs chase across the grass or an airplane streaks the sky.
For something more peculiar, and far darker, head for Gavin Glover’s Bleak House, which snoops inside a very grotty miniaturised house, through which a cot-bed hurtles on a pulley, baby gurgles offset against recriminatory adult voices. A jostling congregation of arm-chairs round the cot and telling dribble under it provides a sinister evocation of unspeakable abuse. What starts by being quaintly charming becomes truly disturbing.
“Toby Sedgwick is Bernard Knowes” utilises flickering home-movie footage (both pastiche and also, it appears, real), along with music fey and fairground-esque, to spirit up an eccentric family defined by its large nose, jutty-out teeth and fondness for otherworldly silliness. It’s at once preposterous and poignant.
Best of the bunch, though, is Kristin and Davy McGuire’s Vertigo, which uses digital projections onto gauze to transform a sensuous pole-dance by the former into an image of humanity – in its grace and loneliness – moving through time and space. With artistry and technical precision, a shifting matrix of light accompanies, entwines and engulfs the movement to the sound of a heavenly Agnus Dei. Stunning. I could watch it on a loop for hours.
Until January 31. Info: mimelondon.com

Tokat’ta önceki yıllarda kar yağışının eksik olmadığı 1650 rakımlı Çamlıbel tepesi eteklerindeki İhsaniye Göleti kurudu. TokatSivas il sınırına yakın Çamlıbel tepesinin alt tarafında bulunan İhsaniye göleti en kurak yılını yaşıyor. 1975 yılında tarımsal sulama için inşa edilen gölet tamamen kuruma noktasına geldi. Gölet kıyı şeridinden yaklaşık 50 metre çekilirken, kuruyan toprak çatlamaya başladı. Bir zamanlar su ile kaplı ağaç kökleri de suyun ne kadar çekildiğini gözler önüne serdi. Kış mevsiminde kar ve yağışın eksik olmadığı göletin kuruması ise köylüleri endişelendiriyor. "Çok az suyumuz kaldı" Köy muhtarı Yılmaz Çelik (62), yağmur ve kar suyu ile dolan göletin ilk defa kuruma noktasına geldiğini kaydetti. Önceki yıllarda bu aylarda göletin dolup taştığını belirten Çelik, “Bu sene kuraklık olduğu için çok az suyumuz kaldı. İçme suyu sıkıntısı çekmiyoruz ama tarımsal sulamada kullanılan bu göletimizde sıkıntı var” dedi. İhsaniye Göleti'nin 1650 rakımlı Çamlıbel tepesinin eteklerinde olduğuna dikkat çeken Muhtar Çelik “Buraya bu aylarda mutlaka kar yağardı. Ne yağmur ne kar yağdı. 45 yıldır ilk defa gölette bu kadar kuraklık oldu. Bu aylarda göletimiz doluyordu. Balıklar içinde sıkıntılı bir süreç başladı. 1 metre derinliğinde su kaldı. Bu aylarda burada buz, kar olması lazımdı. Rabbim sonumuzu hayır etsin yapacak bir şeyimiz yok. Önümüzdeki hafta yağış bekleniyor inşallah yağışlar gelir, 1 metre kar yağar” diye konuştu.

Gėlių salonų savininkai sako, kad ruošėsi antrajam karantinui, tad nuostoliai įsivyravus veiklos ribojimams nebuvo tokie dideli kaip pirmojo karantino metu. Dalis jų pažymi, kad prie naujųjų sąlygų prisitaikyti padėjo ir aktyvesnė prekyba internetu bei naujų alternatyvų paieškos. Visgi jie taip pat pabrėžia, kad valstybės parama nėra pakankama, o sąžiningos konkurencijos principas – pažeistas, kadangi užsidarius gėlių salonams gėlėmis leidžiama prekiauti didiesiems prekybos tinklams.
Gėlių salono „Inesos gėlės“ savininkė floristė Inesa Borkovska Eltai teigė, kad salonas buvo pasiruošęs antrojo karantino įvedimui, tad didelio kiekio gėlių išmesti neteko, o siekiant ir toliau vystyti veiklą buvo persiorientuota į internetinę prekybą.
„Kadangi per pirmąjį karantiną susidūrėme su neplanuota situacija, tai teko ir išmesti gėles, ir pardavinėti jas pigiau. O antrąjį karantiną jau buvome pasiruošę, tad gėlių išmesti neteko: turėjome planą B – internetinę parduotuvę, ir viską perorientavome į ją. Pirkėjai taip pat, matyt, priprato prie tokios situacijos, o gėlininkai, kurie liko dirbti nuotoliniu būdu, labai saugiai ir gerai užsakymus pristato. Nėra būtinybės užeiti į saloną“, – sakė ji.
„Internetinė prekyba mums sekasi gerai. Mūsų internetinė parduotuvė atsirado per pirmąjį karantiną, ir tai nėra labai ilgas laikotarpis, tačiau viskas pakankamai greitai išsivystė“, – pridūrė I. Borkovska.
Verslininkė taip pat teigė, jog gėlių ir kitų priemonių pristatymo logistika antrojo karantino metu nė kiek nesutriko, tačiau užsiminė, kad pastebimas šioks toks gėlių pabrangimas.
„Tiekimo grandinė per pirmąjį karantiną buvo kažkiek sustojusi, dėl to bijojome priimti kai kuriuos užsakymus. Dabar rinkoje niekas nepasikeitė. Nėra, kad negautume kokio užsakymo ar kažkaip labai pabrangtų gėlės, nors jos kiek pabrango. Logistika vyksta labai sklandžiai“, – tikino ji.
Vertindama Vyriausybės paramą nukentėjusiam nuo pandemijos verslui, I. Barkovska teigė, kad nors jos užtenka mokesčiams sumokėti, trūksta efektyvios priemonės nuomai padengti.
„Paramos užtenka sumokėti mokesčiams. Visgi nemenkas nuostolis – patalpų nuoma. (...) Negaliu pasakyti, kad parama yra labai gera, bet apskritai džiaugiuosi, kad ji išvis yra“, – sakė ji.
Kalbėdama apie gėlių salono apyvartą, savininkė teigė, kad įvedus antrąjį karantiną ji galėjo sumažėti apie 30 proc. I. Barkovska pridūrė, kad didesnių nuostolių išvengti padėjo alternatyvų paieškos ir veiklos plėtra.
„Sakyčiau, bent 30 proc. paklausa tikrai sumažėjo. (...) Jei nebūtume bandę persiorientuoti į kitas sritis, pavyzdžiui, verslo dovanų sritį, ką ir padarėme, (...) tai turėtume gal net ir 50 proc. mažiau užsakymų ir apyvartos“, – tikino ji.
Tuo tarpu gėlių salono „Florisima“ direktorius Viktoras Bobinas sakė, kad nuostolių įvedus antrąjį karantiną neišvengta, tačiau jie nebuvo tokie dideli, kaip per pirmąjį karantiną.
„Be abejo, teko išmesti gėlių. Aišku, šiek tiek jau buvome pasiruošę tam po pirmojo karantino, nes pirmasis karantinas užgriuvo netikėtai. Tada nuostoliai išmetimui buvo košmariškai dideli. Dar prieš paskelbiant antrąjį karantiną gyvenome su mintimi, kad kažkada jis bus paskelbtas, ir ruošėmės, neužsisakinėjome didelių kiekių, tad ir nuostoliai nebuvo tokie dideli. Bet jie buvo neišvengiamai. Nepadėjo ir nuolaidos parduodant. Kadangi mūsų įmonės gėlių kiekiai yra dideli, nes turime 6 parduotuves Vilniuje, tai vien dėl to negalime turėt mažo kiekio gėlių“, – tikino jis.
Vertindamas internetinės prekybos atnešamą naudą, V. Bobinas teigė, kad ji vargiai atstoja fizinius pardavimus.
„Nėra ji taip pas mus paklausi ir patraukli klientams. Žmogus perka akimis. (...) Internetinę parduotuvę turime daug metų, bet nėra taip, kad uždarius karantinui gyvas parduotuves visi pultų pirkti internetu“, – Eltai teigė jis.
V. Bobinas pažymėjo, kad tiekimo grandinės, kuriomis salonas apsirūpina gėlėmis, nebuvo paveiktos siaučiančios pandemijos, tačiau pabrėžė, kad skaudžiausia problema, su kuria susiduriama šiuo metu – prekybos sukoncentravimas į didžiuosius prekybos tinklus.
„Tiekimas nenutrūksta, didelių problemų su tiekėjais nebuvo ir pavasarį. Veikiau susiduriame realizacijos, parduotuvių veikimo problema. Valdžia visą prekybą sukoncentravo į didžiuosius prekybos ryklius, o mažiesiems uždraudė dirbti. (...) Tokia valdžios pozicija šiuo klausimu yra keista“, – tikino jis.
Negana to, anot „Florisima“ direktoriaus, valstybės parama, palyginti su pirmuoju karantinu, yra labai menka.
„Pirmiausia gausime subsidijas už prastovas, kadangi darbuotojai išleisti į jas, be abejo, tai nemaža parama. O antra dalis, kurios laukiame ir tikimės, antrojo karantino metu yra labai menka, lyginant su tuo, kokią paramą gavome pavasarį. Iš esmės dėl patalpų nuomos kompensacijos. Pavasarį tai mums labai ženkliai padėjo ir leido išgyventi tą laikotarpį visai neblogai. Subsidija yra juokingai maža. (...) Galbūt tai ir leis išgyventi, jei karantinas neužtruks ilgiau negu mėnesį“, – kalbėjo jis.
Galiausiai V. Bobinas teigė, kad atlaisvinus karantiną tikisi pardavimų šuolio – kaip buvo atslūgus pirmajam karantinui.
„Aišku, dabar pardavimai yra labai maži. Mus dar šiek tiek palaiko gal tik lietuviškos laidotuvių tradicijos, kurioms perkama daug gėlių.Tikimės didesnių pardavimų, jei bus atlaisvintas karantinas ir mums leis dirbti. Bet jei karantiną pratęs, internetinė prekyba nepadės, (...) nepasieksime to lygio, kurį pasiektume su gyva prekyba“, – Eltai sakė jis.
Tuo tarpu viena iš gėlių salono „Nijolės gėlių namai“ įkūrėjų Nijolė Beliakienė teigė, kad įvedus antrąjį karantiną salonui pavyko išvengti nuostolių ir neprireikė išmesti didelio kiekio gėlių.
„Kadangi vykdome internetinę prekybą, tai tikrai mums to neteko daryti, buvo apskaičiuotas šviežių gėlių gavimas ir mažinamas jų kiekis. Manyčiau, labai ir nenukentėsime. Dėjome didžiules pastangas sumanymams, investavome. (...) Bet darbo įdėti reikia žymiai daugiau, kiekvienam užsakymui apdoroti skiriamas ilgesnis laikas“, – tikino ji.
N. Beliakienė taip pat pabrėžė, kad ir klientai prisitaikė prie esamų karantino sąlygų bei toliau naudojasi salono paslaugomis.
„Pirkėjai tikrai prisitaikė, jie puikiai supranta situaciją. Laikomės labai griežtų reikalavimų (...) ir tikrai sprendžiame visus klientų pageidavimus, tad jie ir toliau naudojasi mūsų paslaugomis. Tik liūdna, kad daugiau gedulo minėjimui karantino metu“, – kalbėjo ji.
Visgi N. Beliakienė mano esant neteisinga, kad didiesiems prekybos tinklams leista prekiauti ir tuo, kas uždrausta smulkiesiems verslininkams. Ji pridūrė, kad nors piniginė parama taip pat labai pravarti, sąžininga konkurencija yra ne ką mažiau reikalinga.
„Nesąžininga yra prekyba, kai prekybos centruose galima prekiauti gėlėmis, o smulkusis verslas turi priverti duris. Aišku, tikimės, kad ateis laikas, kai to nebus ir prekyba vyks sąžiningai, kai nenukentės smulkusis verslas“, – Eltai sakė ji.
„Iš Vyriausybės norėčiau aštraus proto ir sąžiningumo. Pinigai labai reikalingi, bet sąžininga konkurencija mums be galo svarbi. (...) Negali būti, kad vienas prekiauja, o kitas turi būti užsidaręs“, – pridūrė N. Beliakienė.

Piers Morgan has implored Good Morning Britain viewers not to listen to Towie’s Lauren Goodger after she shared dangerous views on the coronavirus vaccination.

Piers Morgan has implored Good Morning Britain viewers not to listen to Towie’s Lauren Goodger after she shared dangerous views on the coronavirus vaccination.
The vaccine is vital in ending the Covid-19 pandemic and inoculating the population will mean people won’t become ill from the virus, which takes the pressure of the NHS, and lockdown restrictions will be able to be lifted.
Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has confirmed the Pfizer/BioNTech and Oxford vaccine is both safe and effective for use.
Lauren publicly announced that she would not take the jab, despite scientists explicitly stating it is safe, and she ‘doesn’t believe in face masks’.
Piers slammed the 34-year-old reality star on today’s Good Morning Britain and branded her an ‘imbecile’ for her view.
‘Here’s a picture of Lauren Goodger. What do you think she’s been shovelling in her face?’ Piers began. ‘Where does that come from Lauren?
‘What have you been injecting in those lips? Did you check where it came from?These people are absolute half-wits.’
‘Are you sure we should even give time to people who say they won’t take the vaccine?’ asked co-host Susanna Reid.
‘We have to,’ Piers hit back. ‘Here’s the problem. They are getting attention on social media. They are already giving views to millions of young, impressionable people and they’re not getting challenged.
‘My point is, these reality stars are stuffing their faces with plastic things and surgery and injections and so on, and yet banging on about vaccines.
‘It’s ridiculous. Do not listen to these imbeciles because it will cost lives.’
‘Let’s not give them a platform,’ Susanna suggested.
‘They already have a platform and they’re spewing it all over social media all day long,’ Piers replied. ‘It’s got to stop.
‘These people are wielding a really unhealthy noise debate which will deter young people from taking this seriously. It’s ridiculous.
‘I look at her face, she’s put loads of stuff in her lips, she can probably afford to take a risk with the vaccine.’
Dr June Raine, the chief executive of the UK’s MHRA, said there ‘should be no doubt whatever that this is a very safe and highly effective vaccine’, after 1million people in the UK got their first dose of the Pfizer jab.
On the coronavirus vaccine’s safety, she explained: ‘I would really like to emphasise that the highest standards of scrutiny, of safety and of effectiveness and quality have been met – international standards. ‘And so there should be real confidence in the rigour of our approval.
‘More than that, our Commission on Human Medicines has scrutinised every piece of data too, so there should be no doubt whatever that this is a very safe and highly effective vaccine.
‘It will help us turn the corner. There’s really not one of us who hasn’t been affected by this pandemic, and our organisation, like every other, has been completely focused on doing our job to be able to help defeat this terrible disease.’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.

Poiché suo figlio è iscritto all'università è sicuramente maggiorenne. Di conseguenza l'unico tenuto a dichiarare ai fini fiscali i redditi percepiti è suo figlio. Se oltre la borsa di studio non ha percepito nessun altro tipo di reddito non dovrà presentare il 730 in quanto è sufficiente la Certificazione unica. Ai fini Isee, invece ovviamente, l'importo percepito da suo figlio rientrerà nella certificazione. In ogni caso suo figlio potrà essere considerato ancora carico dal momento che il limite di reddito per essere a carico è fissato a 2400 € 840, importo che sarà € 4000 per i figli di età inferiore ai 24 anni.
