.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Rapper and producer Dr Dre, one of hip-hop's most successful and influential stars, is being treated in hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm.
The 55-year-old was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday, .css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link{color:#3F3F42;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{color:#696969;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{font-weight:bolder;border-bottom:1px solid #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-width:2px;color:#B80000;}@supports (text-underline-offset:0.25em){.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{border-bottom:none;-webkit-text-decoration:underline #BABABA;text-decoration:underline #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-decoration-thickness:1px;-webkit-text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-underline-offset:0.25em;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{-webkit-text-decoration-color:currentcolor;text-decoration-color:currentcolor;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#B80000;}}TMZ reported.
In a post on Instagram, he said: "I'm doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team."
He is "resting comfortably" after the aneurysm, his lawyer told Billboard.
In his post, Dr Dre also wrote: "I will be out of the hospital and back home soon. Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!"
Friends and fellow stars have sent their well wishes after the reports of his ill health emerged.
Ice Cube, his former bandmate in trailblazing 1980s hip-hop group NWA, tweeted: "Send your love and prayers to the homie Dr. Dre."
Snoop Dogg, who was discovered by Dr Dre in the early 1990s, wrote on Instagram: "GET WELL DR DRE WE NEED U CUZ."
Missy Elliott wrote: "Prayers up for Dr. Dre and his family for healing & Strength over his mind & body." And singer Ciara tweeted: "Praying for you Dr. Dre. Praying for a full recovery."
With NWA and then as a solo artist, leading producer and record label mogul, Dr Dre shaped west coast rap and was instrumental in the careers of other stars like Eminem, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar.
An aneurysm is a bulge in a weakened blood vessel where the blood pressure causes a small area to bulge outwards.
Most brain aneurysms only cause noticeable symptoms if they burst, leading to bleeding on the brain, which can cause a very serious condition and can be fatal.

The Bachelor's Laura Byrne is expecting her second child with Matty Johnson in a number of weeks.
And on Monday, the 34-year-old showed off her blossoming bump during a beach date with her fiancé and baby daughter Marlie-Mae in Bondi.
Laura beamed as she posed in a black bikini with grey stripes, while covering up in a straw hat and sunglasses.
Next to her, Matty, wearing black boardshorts with an artistic pattern, smiled widely while carrying the pair's daughter in his arms.
Matty shared the photo to his Instagram, captioning it: 'Not sure if you can tell but I was a little excited to be down the beach with the girls today.'
He also shared a photo to Instagram Stories, showing a heavily pregnant Laura wading in the kiddy pool with Marlie-Mae.
On Saturday, Laura had what she called 'not a baby shower' - but instead a party celebrating her impending arrival, attended by her girlfriends.
In photos shared to Instagram, Laura looked stunning in a stretchy floral dress from Sunday the Label, which showed off her blossoming bump.
Absolutely glowing, she beamed while posing for photos with a gaggle of gal pals, who rubbed her belly for good luck.
The accessories designer joked in one caption: 'I like to call this look 60% foetus, 35% slow cooked lamb & 5% incontinence undies.'
In others, she explained that she had a 'very strict no baby shower policy this time round the uterus'.
But despite her insistence, her girlfriends spoiled her with lunch and baby gifts - including a 'motorbike made out of nappies'.
Matty and Laura, who met on The Bachelor in 2017, welcomed their first child, daughter Marlie Mae, in June last year.
In April 2019, Matty got down on bended knee and popped the question to Laura while on holiday in Fiji.

Some time ago, when my daughter was nearly two, we took a walk and the sky sprung a leak. We should have known better (ie checked a weather app). We were on the knife-edge of a meltdown with a tired and soggy toddler when we spotted a table at E5 Bakehouse in Hackney, east London, and shared a slice of the most beautiful apple cake. It had enough apple in it to be potentially good for you, a crunchy demerara top and soft, puddingy insides. Such was its power that we forgot how sodden we were and, looking back, that day was a sort of heaven. Today’s recipe is my approximation of that wonderful cake.
Prep 15 minCook 1 hr 10 min Serves 8-10
For the apples2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 2cm cubes (175g prepared weight)1½ tsp ground cinnamon 40g soft brown sugar
For the cake batter200g self-raising flour 1½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp salt 160g soft brown sugar 120ml olive oil 1 tsp vanilla extract 100ml non-dairy milk (I used oat)1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For the top of the cake2 granny smith apples, cored and sliced1 tbsp soft brown sugar
Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6, and line a 20cm springform round cake tin with greaseproof paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the apple cubes with the cinnamon and brown sugar, and set aside.
Measure all the dry ingredients for the batter into a large bowl, stir to combine, then pour in the wet ingredients and beat until you have a smooth batter. Tip in the cubed apples and their sugary, cinnamony juices, stir to combine, then scrape the batter into the lined tin.
Fan the sliced apples in a circle to cover the top of the cake, sprinkle over the remaining soft brown sugar, then bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 50-60 minutes, until the cake has risen, the apples on top are golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Serve warm or cold.

In diesen Tagen offenbart sich für Großbritannien, was der Ausstieg aus der EU bedeutet: An den Grenzen verrotten Lebensmittel – und in Nordirland leeren sich die Supermarktregale.
Der Brexit kann unappetitlich sein. Dieser Tage werden Menschen die Türen eines Lkw voller Schweineköpfe öffnen müssen, der mehr als zwei Wochen lang im Hafen von Rotterdam festgesetzt war. Und dann die vergammelnden Überbleibsel herausholen – um sie zu vernichten.
Das Schweinekopf-Drama beginnt am Tag eins nach dem Vollzug des Brexits. Am 1. Januar kommt der Truck des Londoner Fleischhändlers DH Foods per Schiff im Rotterdamer Hafen an. Wenige Stunden zuvor hätte der Fahrer sofort aufs Gas treten können, da war Großbritannien noch in EU-Binnenmarkt und -Zollunion.
Nun aber verlangen die niederländischen Kontrolleure Gesundheitszertifikate. Und als sie entdecken, dass die Schweineköpfe nicht auf Trichinen kontrolliert wurden – in England ist dies in bestimmten Fällen kein Muss –, verweigern sie dem Lkw die Weiterfahrt. Fortan steht der Wagen still, während drinnen die Ladung verrottet.
Es ist kein Einzelfall. Mehr als 120 Laster mit britischen Fleischprodukten und Schmalz wurden allein in Rotterdam seit Jahresanfang gestoppt, weil sie nicht die nun erforderlichen Papiere vorweisen konnten. Viele davon seien noch immer auf dem Hafengelände, beklagt David Lindars, der Technische Direktor der British Meat Processors Association, im Gespräch mit dem SPIEGEL: »Wir fürchten, dass die Ware verdirbt. Es ist bizarr.«

SAS: Who Dares Wins star Matthew 'Ollie' Ollerton has tied the knot with his fiancée Laura Gander in a secret ceremony in Scotland.
The TV star and military veteran was forced to call off his lavish Bond-themed nuptials in July last year due to the coronavirus pandemic so embarked on the 'absolute mission' to elope to Gretna Green on December 27 - his 50th birthday.
Speaking to Hello, he said: 'We defied all the odds and it was an absolute mission to pull it off. It was the year when it looked like we wouldn't be able to marry, and then we did. We did it on that day so I'll never forget our anniversary.'
Despite lockdown restrictions, the couple were allowed to cross the border from England into Scotland as the move was for a wedding.
Clad in a dress from Ghost, Laura looked radiant for her pared-back day.
She said: 'It was quite surreal, and stressful in the lead up as literally the week before the wedding everything was changing again in both England and Scotland.
'I was straight on to the Scottish government website checking out the restrictions, but we found out that you could cross the border into Scotland if you were going there for a wedding.' They have spent their honeymoon at Lake Windermere.
Their initial nuptials were tipped to see the couple thrill-seek, with Ollie sky-diving from a plane, driving an Aston Martin and riding a motorbike to the altar, while Laura had planned to arrive at their ceremony in a helicopter.
Speaking to news.com.au last year, 'gutted' Ollie explained that his and Laura's nuptials was themed: 'Bond, Babes and Villains'.
He revealed: 'I was going to free fall into the wedding from a plane. We had Aston Martin's on standby to pick me up and take me into the wedding to a certain point.
'Then, for the final leg, I was going to get onto my 1971 classic cafe racer [motorbike] and ride in to meet my bride,' Ollie said.
Ollie announced his engagement to Laura in a post shared to his Instagram on New Year's Eve in December 2019.
'I am humbled by her love and her beauty, my proposal met with acceptance ❤️ 2020 is already looking up! I love you @lauragander11 ❤️❤️,' he wrote.

Loose Women's new anchor is REVEALED as journalist Charlene White

Charlene White has been unveiled as Loose Women's newest anchor.
Following the shock departure of show favourites Andrea McLean and Saira Khan, the journalist, 40, was introduced to the panel on Monday.
Speaking about the signing, she said: 'I'm absolutely stoked, I've been buzzing all this time to reveal that I'm the new anchor on Loose Woman', before they showed her best bits from previous appearances.
Her new colleague Nadia Sawalha welcomed Charlene, saying: 'We’re all so happy you’re here', to which she responded: 'This is rather exciting, isn’t it? I am very happy, thank you so much for having me, ladies.'
Delighted Stacey Solomon declared: 'You’re one of us now'.
Charlene has a lengthy history in broadcasting including stints on BBC Look East, Radio 5 Live Morning Reports, BBC Three 60 Seconds, BBC News and her own late-night talk show on BBC London 94.9 early on in her career.
In April 2014, she became the first black woman to present ITV News at Ten and was an occasional relief presenter until October 2015.
In May 2019, Charlene was announced as lead presenter of ITV News London's main 6pm programme and continues to front the news.
Now Charlene can add Loose Women to her multifaceted bow, as she was confirmed as the new anchor on the panel show.
Fans certainly seemed to approve of the choice, as Twitter was flooded with gushing messages of praise for the new host and her 'intelligent' debate.
Users penned: 'I am so pleased to see Charlene White as the new loose woman, Charlene you are an amazing addition to the panel xx...
'Welcome Charlene loving it well done... Wow Charlene has within the first 5 minutes turned this show around and into a proper debate show again! More intelligent women needed on this show... #loosewomen making a good step for once...
'Rock on Charlene, the perfect Anchor I must say... Congratulations to, a very welcome Loose woman x... Well done to the new Loose Woman. Well deserved'.
It was revealed earlier this month that Saira was leaving after five years on the panel, just two weeks after fellow panellist Andrea departed from the show.
The TV personality, 50, explained her 'difficult' decision in her column for The Mirror on Saturday, saying the coronavirus crisis made her 'reassess her priorities'.
Detailing how she felt she had 'nothing left to share', Saira claimed she now wants to focus on her skincare brand and other projects.
Saira wrote: 'Many people, including myself, have rediscovered the importance of putting our lives into perspective.
'We’ve been able to look at what’s really important to us. It has certainly made me assess my priorities, values and how I want to move forward with my life.
'So I start this new year by saying goodbye to Loose Women. After five years of being a regular panellist, I’ve decided to give up my seat to another woman who will benefit from the platform as I did.'
Andrea, 51, was left struggling to hold it together as her co-stars Coleen Nolan, Janet Street-Porter and Judi Love hosted a special edition of the ITV show saying goodbye to her after 13 years.
And it wasn't just Andrea who was left teary during her last day as viewers at home were also emotional, with one fan claiming they were 'bawling their eyes out'.
After managing to keep her composure throughout the show, it was a compilation of her best bits that set Andrea off, as she looked back on all of her big moments.
The star, who is the longest-serving Loose Woman, was left wiping her eyes as she looked back at emotional reveals, A-list interviews and plenty of laughs during her time anchoring the talk show.

Bridgerton's Phoebe Dynevor looks unrecognisable in Waterloo Road

They have both soared to fame since appearing on the former BBC school drama.
And Phoebe Dynevor and Jenna Coleman both look almost unrecognisable in an unearthed clip from Waterloo Road in 2009.
Phoebe, 25, played Siobhan Mailey from 2009 to 2010 while Jenna, 34, starred as Lindsay James in 2009 following her exit from Emmerdale.
The two stars are currently leaving the nation gripped with their television projects with Bridgerton on Netflix and The Serpent on BBC.
Yet Phoebe and Jenna both look almost unrecognisable in the 2009 clip from former BBC school drama Waterloo Road, where they started their careers aged 14 and 22.
In the unearthed clip, it sees their characters Siobhan and Lindsay get into a playground fight with their other school peers.
Waterloo Road followed the lives of troubled high school students and teachers in Lancashire, it ran from 2006 until 2015.
As well as Phoebe and Jenna, the series also had show regulars such as Chelsee Healey, Adam Thomas, Denise Welch, Angela Griffin, Jill Halfpenny and Neil Morrissey.
It comes after it was claimed that Bridgerton could likely go from overnight sensation to an eight-season run, according to the creator of the Netflix hit.
The series debuted on Christmas Day and has remained in the top spot on Netflix's most-watched list for the last two weeks, proving to be a mammoth success.
And Chris Van Dusen, the showrunner, has teased that it could have a very long lifespan.
Speaking to Collider this weekend, he said: 'This being a family of eight children and there being eight books, I would love to be able to focus and really tell stories and love stories for all the Bridgerton siblings. For each character, for sure. I would love that.'
He explained that season one was 'primarily about Daphne and her love story with Simon' but that there is much more to delve into.
The show is based on Julia Quinn's Bridgerton novels - the second one called The Viscount Who Loved Me.
Book two follows Daphne Bridgerton's elder brother Anthony, who is on the hunt for a wife.
As well as this, the story of Daphne and Simon Basset's marriage would continue, as well as the developments of Lady Portia Featherington following her husband's death. The mystery of Lady Whistledown's identity also continues.
Julia Quinn refers to her sequel books as 'second epilogues'.
They are The Duke And I, The Viscount Who Loved Me, An Offer From A Gentleman, Romancing Mister Bridgerton, To Sir Phillip, With Love, When He Was Wicked, It's In His Kiss, and On The Way To The Wedding.
There were also a further two books focused around the writings of Lady Whistledown from the Bridgerton series, released in 2003 and 2004.
Bridgerton is set to rack up over 63 million views by the end of January. Netflix have not confirmed further instalments but an announcement seems inevitable.
Elsewhere, Rege-Jean Page has denied rumours that he is dating his co-star Phoebe in a new interview.
The actor, 31, and actress had led some fans to believe they were a couple in real life due to their intimate on-screen relationship in the hit Netflix series.
During an interview with Access Hollywood, Rege had dropped a subtle hint that they were quite close, but suggested they were only romantic on screen.

M&S's struggling division is denting the retailer's hopes of coming back into fashion

M&S's struggling division is denting the retailer's hopes of coming back into fashion
In a world of great uncertainty, some things remain reassuringly constant. As sure as night follows day, Marks & Spencer seems destined to remain a business of two halves with wildly contrasting fortunes.
Food always does well while clothing is locked in a permanent struggle, and the crisis has exacerbated that trend. Essential retailer status has helped prop up sales - but only to a point.
With many of its stores stuck in empty town centres and petrol stations, its popular cafes closed and additional coronavirus restrictions strangling high street footfall, M&S can’t boast of the same bonanza enjoyed by the supermarkets.
That largely explains its decision to hang onto the Treasury’s business rates freebie when the grocers and other retailers allowed to stay open have handed the tax break back.
Both M&S and the Co-op argue that only parts of their business have remained open - food in M&S’s case, whereas its clothing aisles are cordoned off from customers.
It’s a fair distinction so why not take Sainsbury’s approach: split the pot, keeping the relief for the parts that remained shut, and return the difference?
Third quarter sales fell 7.6pc, dragged down by a home and clothing arm that has gone backwards at an alarming rate, slumping 25pc in the 13 weeks to Boxing Day, following a 21.3pc fall in the previous period. And over the four weeks between November 5 and December 1 when extra coronavirus restrictions were introduced in England, turnover plunged 40pc.
The opposite is true of the famous M&S food halls. Strip out the impact of its cafes being forced to close, and sales grew 6pc. Over the festive period turnover matched that of the big supermarkets with an 8.7pc jump.
Early signs are that a tie-up with Ocado, which was met with widespread scepticism, is doing well - but until M&S is able to provide financial figures for the venture it is hard to form a proper picture.
Fixing clothing remains the biggest challenge facing Rowe. Online is finally picking up some of the slack from woeful high street trading, but there remain serious doubts about whether an old-fashioned chain like M&S can ever be a real force in home shopping.
It is reportedly in pole position to snap up fashion brand Jaeger, but that is unlikely to be the answer to its troubles. Repeated insolvencies at the womenswear label will inevitably have taken their toll. Besides, one brand does not suddenly make for a knockout collection. M&S’s loyal female customers complain that the old problems with sizes, stock, and dowdy styles haven’t gone away.
The only way a deal could prove to be genuinely meaningful is if M&S plans to mount a serious challenge to Next's highly successful model of selling third-party brands. Don’t bet against it. M&S chairman Archie Norman is a big fan of what Lord Simon Wolfson has achieved at its great high street rival.
More great vaccine news. The Moderna jab has become the third to be approved by UK regulators and tests have shown that Pfizer’s can combat the feared South African strain of the virus.
No wonder stock markets are on fire. The FTSE has kicked off the new year with a bang, and although it ended the week on a flat note, it came after four straight days of strong gains. Wall Street’s main indices have also hit new highs.
December’s US jobs figures were a sobering reminder that the recovery won’t be plain sailing. Data showing 140,000 jobs were lost last month will fuel fears that the rampant Covid cases are choking the rebound.
The US has recorded more than 4,000 daily deaths from Covid-19 for the first time, just hours after an armed mob stormed the US Capitol. Let that be the legacy of the worst president in US history.
But there’s no denying that there is real light at the end of the tunnel for the first time during the pandemic. Investors prefer to imagine a world without Donald Trump and one where mass vaccination has allowed the economy to emerge from the deep freeze. Amen to that.
Besides, the crisis hasn’t been all bad, at least not if you’re a goldfish, or a rabbit, or even a Pug, which, as one of the most popular breeds of pooch, is proof that looks aren’t everything in the animal kingdom.
People are pampering their beloved pets like never before, prompting a big profit upgrade at nationwide chain Pets at Home. It’s not a dog’s life after all.

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Hundreds of alleged members of Italy's most powerful mafia group are set to face justice in the country's biggest organised crime trial in decades.
The 355 suspected mobsters and corrupt officials were charged following a long inquiry into the 'Ndrangheta group.
More than 900 witnesses are expected to give evidence, and the charge sheet includes murder, drug trafficking, extortion and money laundering.
The trial begins on Wednesday and is expected to last more than two years.
It will take place in a specially modified building in the southern region of Calabria, which is at the heart of 'Ndrangheta territory.
The building, formerly a call centre in the town of in Lamezia Terme, has been converted into a fortified courtroom to make space for the hundreds of people likely to attend the proceedings. No mafia trial has been held in Italy on such a scale since the 1980s.
Unlike the earlier trial, which ran from 1986 to 1992 and targeted a large number of Cosa Nostra families in Sicily, Wednesday's trial is aimed at just one group, the Mancuso family, which forms a powerful section of the sprawling 'Ndrangheta mafia.
Although the 'Ndrangheta are now bigger than Cosa Nostra, the Mancuso clan are said to operate mostly in the Calabrian province of Vibo Valentia.
During a recent pre-trial hearing it took more than three hours to read the names of the defendants, AFP news agency reports. They include politicians, police officers, civil servants as well as alleged members and accomplices of the mob.
The highest-profile defendant is the alleged clan boss Luigi Mancuso, 66, also known as "The Uncle". Other defendants are said to go by nicknames such as "The Wolf", "Fatty" and "Blondie".
The number of accused increases to more than 400 when the 92 suspects who chose a separate fast-tracked trial are factored in. These include Giancarlo Pittelli, a lawyer and former senator for ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party.
Mr Pittelli denies connecting the 'Ndrangheta to the world of politics and other powerful institutions such as the courts.
Most of the defendants were detained in pre-dawn raids in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Bulgaria in December 2019.
The 'Ndrangheta are believed to control the supply of huge amounts of cocaine entering Europe from South America and elsewhere.
But the lengthy charge sheet for the hundreds of defendants goes far beyond drug crimes. It includes mafia association, murder, attempted murder, extortion, loan sharking, disclosure of official secrets and abuse of office.
"This trial shows how deeply rooted the 'Ndrangheta is in society," Federico Varese, professor of criminology at Oxford University, told AFP. "It's shocking that you have a criminal group so rooted in the territory you have to put hundreds of people on trial."
Central to the case is Italy's most famous anti-mafia prosecutor, 62-year-old Nicola Gratteri, who has lived under police protection for more than three decades.
He has vowed to take down "this asphyxiating 'Ndrangheta, which truly takes the breath and the heartbeat from the people".
But Prof Varese has warned that the trial will not mark the end of the group. "You can throw them in jail but if you don't take away the root causes of why they exist, they'll just reproduce," he said.

Make Lenny Kravitz your unlikely winter style inspiration

Make Lenny Kravitz your unlikely winter style inspiration
Now that winter is really starting to kick in, there’s all the more reason to crave comfort dressing. Choosing relaxed clothing for added softness and warmth makes sense, but doesn’t have to mean reverting to lockdown jogging pants and hoodies. There are more stylish alternatives.
Bearing in mind that the singer Lenny Kravitz has been teased for the last eight years about the size of a blanket scarf he was photographed wearing on the streets of New York, I am determined to persevere with this line of thought. As the 56-year-old pointed out in a recent interview, the images of his super scarf subsequently shared on social media were greatly exaggerated, ‘Okay, the scarf is big, but the internet has made the scarf enormous; three times bigger than it really is. But it was big and it was cold.’
And there you have it. In the middle of a Covid Winter, Kravitz is having the last laugh. This is the season of the enormous Duvet Coat, the stompy ankle boot and the oversized blanket scarf – now we’re all spending more time outdoors, it literally is a case of go big or go home.
The multi-talented blanket wrap adds glamour to a simple sweater and jeans, softens a sturdy shirt dress and is the perfect accompaniment to a tailored wool coat or quilted ‘liner’ jacket. Simply throw an extra-large scarf over the shoulders, belt at the waist for increased snugness or casually drape around the neck like Clint Eastwood’s poncho.
Geometric Brushed Blanket Scarf, £397; Top Spot Pom Pom Hat, £81, both Jo Gordon (jogordon.com). Jeans and jumper, Alyson’s own.
‘Tis the season to swaddle in a stylish blanket scarf. And that quite possibly is the most ‘fashion’ sentence I’ve ever written. But don’t be alarmed, there is good reason to cloak yourself in comfort. ‘We like soft clothes because they feel good physically and help us feel good psychologically,’ explains fashion psychologist Professor Carolyn Mair, ‘wearing something soft can comfort us and help us relax.’
Indeed, in the Charles M Schulz Peanuts cartoon, the character Linus is known for carrying a ‘security and happiness blanket.’ And the Geometric Brushed lambswool scarf blanket I’m wrapped in, here, certainly helped to boost my mood. As its designer Jo Gordon’s customer feedback affirms, ‘wearing a brushed blanket scarf is like having a giant hug.’
Three of the best blanket scarves: Checked, £175, Wallace & Sewell; Striped, £132, Wyse London; Brown checked, £69, Arket
A significant point, reiterated by Mair; ‘Touch creates a sense of connection to others. As we’re not able to touch during the pandemic, soft clothes can help reassure us as they caress our limbs and bodies like a gentle touch from a loved one might do. Wrapping a cosy blanket scarf around us can mimic the sensation of a hug, bringing warmth and protection that many are craving at the moment.’
Alyson's weekend picks: Universal face oil, £24, Pai Skincare; Quilted coat, £99, Arket; Fingerless gloves, £30, Kate Jones Knitwear; Leather boots, £225, Russell and Bromley; Needlecord dress, £95, Toast; Ribbed jumper, £195, Navygrey
Whether you’re going out-out (sitting on a park bench) or staying in to binge-watch Netflix, there’s no better excuse needed than to give yourself to a perma-hug. Accentuate the feel-good factor by cocooning in a cosy wrap. But take my advice, keep things youthful and don’t be tempted to drape the blanket scarf over your knees…

If you haven't yet seen this dignified portrait of heroism, seek it out soon – before somebody bans it for its “colonialism”

If you haven't yet seen this dignified portrait of heroism, seek it out soon – before somebody bans it for its “colonialism”
The recent ludicrous decision by the Royal Collection to label Lady Butler’s 1880 painting of the defence of Rorke’s Drift with the warning that it has links to “colonialism and violence” prompted me to do something I hadn’t for 40 years, which was to watch the film of this stirring episode in history, Zulu.
Shot in 1963 on location in South Africa, about 60 miles from the scene of the battle and with hundreds of Zulus as extras, its authenticity is striking. The Zulu chief was played by his own great-grandson, who would become the leading South African politician Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi. Watched on Blu-ray on an ultra-high-definition television, the picture is probably sharper than when first seen in the cinema: never have the landscapes of Africa looked so spectacular. And when the action starts, the viewer is gripped by its precision.
How it looks may be important for credibility but that is, of course, only one aspect of the film. It succeeds because the script is understated, vitally so if it is to comply with our received wisdom about how the Army undertook, and still undertakes, its duties.
This is all the more remarkable because of the preconceptions the director, Cy Endfield, brought to the project. He had been driven out of America a decade before he made Zulu after falling foul of the House un-American Activities Committee, which decided he was a communist. Endfield perceived Zulu as a Western, with the British soldiers as the 7th Cavalry and the Zulu warriors as native Americans; but few films of that genre have Zulu’s dignity. The viewer grasps that, while the heroism of the British defenders was remarkable and, importantly, is portrayed in the film without undue glamorisation, the heroism and nobility of the Zulus is just as overwhelming.
Endfield had been a nondescript director before the McCarthyites attacked him, but coming to England was the making of him. Zulu was the fifth of six features he would film with Stanley Baker, whose production company, Diamond, made Zulu. One previous collaboration had been Hell Drivers, a highly original, memorable but somewhat mad 1957 film about truckers for a crooked gravel company; another was Jet Storm, from 1959, a precursor of later airliner disaster movies. Endfield was always looking for something unconventional, and Baker’s persona lends stability to, or acts as an anchor in, his scenarios.
In none of his films is this more the case than Zulu. It is Baker’s film, not only because he is the star, but also because of the moral authority he brings to the role of John Chard, the Royal Engineer who, as the senior officer, decides to defend the field hospital and mission church at Rorke’s Drift against the Zulus. The previous day, between 10,000 and 15,000 Zulus had slaughtered more than 1,300 British and European troops at Isandlwana, 11 days into a British campaign to invade Zululand and effect a federation in South Africa; the odds were stacked against the defenders.
The truth of what happened – 150 British soldiers, plus perhaps another dozen or so walking wounded, holding off up to 4,000 Zulus of ferocious bravery who kept walking towards volleys of machine-gun fire – is stranger than fiction, but it is to Endfield’s credit that the action never lapses into the improbable.
As well as Baker’s level-headed performance, two others are intensely realistic, and help shore up the credibility of the narrative: Nigel Green as Colour Sergeant Frank Bourne, and Glynn Edwards as Corporal William Allen, both fulfil to a tee the stereotype of the by-the-book British non-commissioned officer, and quite possibly portray exactly the calmness under fire and in face of attack that the real defenders of Rorke’s Drift must have shown.
One divisive aspect of a film in which so much else is right is the casting of Michael Caine as Lt Gonville Bromhead, who in real life, like his brother officer Chard, was one of 11 men to win the Victoria Cross that day. This was Caine’s first starring role, and perhaps it is only in light of his later gorblimey screen persona, with which we are so familiar, that some of us find him less than credible as a languid toff in this.
Endfield told Caine that his was the worst screen test he had ever seen, but there was no time to replace him because the team were about to leave for South Africa; Caine told Endfield that no English director would ever have cast him as an officer. For all that, Zulu remains a great film: if you’ve never seen it, seek it out soon – before somebody bans it for its “colonialism” and “violence”.

As a private company is accused of offering £100,000 to vaccinate its staff, everything we know the super-rich bid for immunity

As a private company is accused of offering £100,000 to vaccinate its staff, everything we know the super-rich bid for immunity
The cracks are starting to show as Covid-19 cases rise exponentially in the UK, and it seems the super-rich are doing everything they can to get their vaccine early.
A Twitterstorm was caused yesterday afternoon by Robyn Clark, a healthcare worker who alleged that she received a suspect email from The Hacking Trust, a residential and commercial property company
Clark wrote, ‘just received an email from The Hacking Trust offering £5,000 as a charitable donation or to a specific individual at my practice if we give their staff any unused vaccine. This is bribery right? As if I’m not going to call every eligible patient I can find followed by healthcare staff in my patch, followed by other high risk patients BEFORE a company involved in property purchases and corporate acquisitions based in London. I’m in Bristol. I mean really?!’
She added that while it could turn out to be a hoax, that it looked ‘very genuine and I have been told I’m not the only practice to have received it.’
A copy of a letter sent by The Hacking Trust to a private medical firm has been obtained by The Telegraph newspaper since last night’s Tweet requesting ‘approx. 20 vaccines’ for which they offered to donate £5,000 per vaccine - that amounts to a sum of £100,000. The subject of the email read, ‘Unused vaccine ‘reward’ £5,000 paid to caller’.
It continued, ‘We require approx. 20 vaccinations and we understand you are operating a Covid-19 vaccination centre. We have been informed that many appointments are not kept and some do not attend at all. On this basis we would like to be informed as soon as possible of any ‘no shows’ or cancellations on any given day which would result in unnecessary wastage of the vaccination.
‘We will donate to the individual the sum of £5,000 for each successful vaccine for our staff members. This can either be paid as a charitable donation or to the staff member directly. We are able to attend within a few hours following a telephone call email response.’
When contacted by The Telegraph, a spokesman for the company said: “The Hacking Health Trust has offered in open correspondence to some GPs charitable donations to staff or surgeries in this difficult time for any vaccines which were unused. We had heard that some vaccines were being unused due to missed appointments. We would apologise that our good intentions have been misinterpreted.”
Needless to say this goes against the grain of any idea that we are ‘all in this together’ but the super-rich are very good at getting what they want - earlier in the pandemic it was reported that Hamptons residents were constructing personal ICUs on their properties and that celebrities such as Tom Cruise were investing in multimillion dollar subterranean ‘survival companies’.
Add to this that those with charmed lives appear to be extremely Covid cautious; Putin, 68, is reported to require anyone meeting him to quarantine for a minimum of two weeks beforehand and have a negative Coronavirus test. So is The Hacking Trust, if the email was genuine, alone in its desperate search for the vaccine? Most definitely not.
On 11 December the Pfizer-BioTech Covid vaccine became the first to receive emergency authorisation for use in the US for frontline healthcare workers and care home residents. According to the LA Times, the phones of private US healthcare centres like Beverly Hills Concierge Doctor have been ringing off the hook with clients offering to make five figure donations to the centre in return for the vaccine.
US Contributing Editor Sarah Kennedy has returned from the UK to Manhattan to hear much talk of private vaccination. “Governor Cuomo and Mayor DeBlasio have been very stringent on municipal distribution of the vaccine according to government guidelines and it's currently illegal for doctors to do it privately,” she says.
“However, New York is a city that more or less functions on the back of the huge medical industry. Private doctors work hard to keep their lucrative patients happy and take phone calls and appointments at all hours of the day and night. The rules that you and I might apply to our contact with our GP do not apply. So, do I think there will be private vaccinations happening? Most definitely. What's more, people will be getting their domestic staff vaccinated too.”
A tech insider from Silicon Valley confirms the same attitude is prevailing on the West Coast. "As soon as news of a vaccine hit there were murmurings in Silicon Valley about how much it would cost to jump the queue,” they said.
“In a place where everything has a price tag, particularly when it comes to healthcare, it feels almost inevitable that members of the tech elite will be trying to pull strings. What's almost certain is that those who pay tens of thousands of dollars a year for concierge doctors will get the Covid-19 shot faster than most."
The grey areas don’t help. America’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention have recommended that essential workers be next in line but the definition of ‘essential worker’ is broad and somewhat ambiguous and in multiple states, including New York, Illinois, Colorado and California, includes ‘financial service’ workers, as those needed to ‘maintain orderly market operations’. Then there’s the definition of ‘high risk medical condition,’ as it is easy for a private doctor to ramp up an ailment.
Earlier this week, the Washington Post reported that wealthy donors received federally-provided vaccines intended for residents and staff at the Florida nursing home MorseLife in West Palm Beach. The Post reported that affluent Floridians received invitations by post and telephone. Following the reports, Gov. Ron DeSantis said at a Vero Beach news conference on Wednesday that MorseLife was now under state investigation, for which he expects the results soon.
Despite the demand among those for whom money is no object, supply appears to be an issue. While there’s still not enough of it to go round, rumour is that illegal private vaccinations are ongoing in Geneva, but Monaco residents hope to all be vaccinated quickly and legally by the principality. Elsewhere, Europe’s top health clinics are considering their options. “We are monitoring the situation and would definitely like to offer it when it’s possible to do so,’ said an insider at Lanserhof, one of Austria’s top medical retreats. And they’re almost certainly not the only ones.

Fears over safety as Moscow says it's ready to roll out immunisation programme in October

Fears over safety as Moscow says it's ready to roll out immunisation programme in October
Britain would be likely to reject a potentially game-changing coronavirus vaccine from Russia amid strong reservations about the trial process there, the Telegraph can reveal.
That approach chimes with the US, where Anthony Fauci, America’s top infectious disease official, raised doubts about the testing regimes for potential vaccines in both Russia and China. There are strict international protocols governing the development of new drugs.
Russia has claimed it is close to rolling out the world’s first vaccine against Covid-19, the key development in beating the global pandemic. Moscow has boasted it is a ‘Sputnik moment’, when the Soviet Union astonished the US by making it into space first with its 1957 satellite.
Russia’s health minister Mikhail Murashko said on Saturday that the Gamaleya Institute, a state research facility, had completed clinical trials. Doctors and teachers would be the first to be vaccinated. "We plan wider vaccinations for October," Murashko was quoted as saying.
But Dr Fauci told a Congressional hearing late on Friday that it was unlikely the US would make use of either a Russian or Chinese vaccine if they became available first. He also predicted that an American vaccine would be available by the end of the year.
Three Western coronavirus vaccines are in final phase three trials. One is produced by US biotech firm Moderna and the National Institutes for Health; one by the University of Oxford and Britain's AstraZeneca; the last by Germany's BioNTech with US pharmaceutical Pfizer.
Dr Fauci said: "I do hope that the Chinese and the Russians are actually testing the vaccine before they are administering the vaccine to anyone. Claims of having a vaccine ready to distribute before you do testing, I think, is problematic, at best.
"We are going very quickly. I do not believe that there will be vaccines, so far ahead of us, that we will have to depend on other countries to get us vaccines."
The British take a similar view to the Americans. One source said: “We would use a vaccine if we trusted the data.” Crucially, though, it depended, the source said, on how open the Russians or Chinese were about the vaccines’ development. International backing from scientists was also vital.
Russia has released no scientific data proving the vaccines' safety or efficacy, and so fall foul of the source’s stipulations. With the British plans, details have already been published in The Lancet.
Public health experts are clear it would be impossible for the British to accept a vaccine from another country without all internationally recognised protocols being met. These cover the ethics of testing and transparency, and require the full release of data for peer review.
Azeem Majeed, Professor of Primary Care at Imperial College London, said: “We have strict and rigorous processes. It is unthinkable that the government would relax those rules.”
Professor Majeed said some countries, desperate to find a quick solution, might be tempted to turn a blind eye to agreed protocols. But he believed that the US, the UK or Germany would win the race to produce the first vaccine for international use.
Bharat Pankhania, senior clinical lecturer at the University of Exeter’s Medical School said: “No government will adopt a product that has not passed international scrutiny. It would be an act of supreme folly.”
Chinese media last month announced a coronavirus vaccine was being used to immunise the Chinese military - making it the first approved for people. Professor Majeed said there were clear ethical issues in the army being used effectively as guinea pigs.
China and Russia both stand accused of attempting to steal Western coronavirus research. They deny the allegations.

Kuwait's stateless man who set himself alight

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}When 27-year-old Hamad set himself on fire in Kuwait in December, it sent shockwaves across the country.
The tiny, oil-rich Gulf state seems an unlikely setting for the kind of desperate circumstances that would push someone to carry out such an extreme act. But Hamad is a member of Kuwait's stateless Bidun.
Bidun is Arabic for "without" - without nationality, which for members of the community means facing restricted access to wider society; without status, meaning tougher paths to education, medical care and employment. And - tragically for Hamad and his family - without hope.
Seventeen kilometres (11 miles) outside Kuwait City, Sulaibiya is a world away from the upscale shopping centres and high-rise glass buildings of the capital.
Omar lives there with his parents, his 10 siblings and their families, in a modest five-bedroom house in a run-down housing project where many of the Bidun population have settled.
The 33-year-old is close to his youngest sibling, Hamad.
"He's the kindest person on the face of the Earth, he's quite naive, always smiling," Omar says.
But about a year ago the young man became withdrawn, shutting himself away in his room and refusing his brothers' attempts to take him out of the house.
Omar felt his pain: "Everything had closed in on him."
The Bidun issue in Kuwait dates back to 1961, when some of the families living within its borders did not apply for citizenship following the country's independence from Britain. Other countries in the region also have stateless residents.
Other Gulf Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE also have stateless residents, who are largely descendants of nomadic tribes who were living in the area but failed to apply for citizenship when the modern state was formed.
Elsewhere in the region others are stateless after the government stripped them of their nationality, such as in Bahrain where a number of dissidents have had their citizenship revoked.
The issue remains a complex one for the Kuwaiti government, which classifies the Biduns as "illegal residents".
It says that only 34,000 of the more than 100,000 stateless people in the country are eligible to apply for nationality and that the rest are natives of other countries or their descendants.
After Hamad finished primary school, he was unable to register at a public high school due to his Bidun status. His family lacked the means to have him privately educated.
The boy grew up watching his father and brothers earn a precarious living buying and selling cars; they would sell a car one month and struggle for another four.
He seemed to decide that was not the life he wanted. His brother says that his dream was to join the military.
But faced with limited opportunities, Hamad did what he could to get by, at first selling watermelon on the street until the local municipality caught him.
He then tried breeding pigeons that he would buy for half a Kuwaiti dinar ($1.65; £1.21) but quit when he found himself selling them at a loss.
After Hamad completed an eight-month prison sentence for stealing sheep to sell, another brother, Jasem, managed to get him a travel document and took him on a trip to Morocco.
Omar says the holiday offered his brother a glimpse of another life.
"He saw the world, he saw life, he was happy. He was there for three weeks but it was as if he'd spent three years there. He spent the next five years talking about his trip to Morocco."
Recently, Hamad began telling his mother that he wanted to build a life, to get married and settle down. But with the family's finances already strained, she had little support to offer other than to remind him that "God will provide".
Omar said he had talked about taking his own life but that the family had not expected him to act on his words until one morning, in a fit of despair, he set himself alight.
Following the incident, MP Marzouq al-Khalifah called on the government to form a committee to look into the causes of a spate of suicides among members of the Bidun community.
"We live in a country of blessings... and yet we have people killing themselves because of difficult living circumstances and restrictions on their everyday lives."
Bidun activist Abdullah al-Rabah says he would like to see the 34,000 Biduns identified as eligible be given citizenship and for the remaining to be granted civil rights, which would enable them to live their lives.
The 35-year-old adds that he and others like him feel a sense of loyalty to the country they were born in but that he understands the frustration of his community's youths.
"This is the third generation without a solution to the issue, how long are they going to wait? Of course it affects them."
For Omar, all he wants now is to be by his brother's side.
Normally, he would head out of Sulaibiya at every opportunity, to forget his worries and spend time by the sea alone. But now every day, he visits the hospital to look in on Hamad through the window of his room in the intensive care unit.
And he waits, hoping for the doctors to bring him good news.

Will the 25th Amendment be invoked, can Donald Trump be removed from office before his term ends? Everything you need to know
Members of Donald Trump's cabinet on Wednesday discussed the possibility of removing the US president from office after his supporters stormed the Capitol, three US news channels reported.
The discussions focused on the 25th amendment to the US Constitution, which allows for a president's removal by the vice president and cabinet if he is judged "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office."
CNN quoted unnamed Republican leaders saying the 25th amendment had been discussed, saying they had described Trump as "out of control."
On Thursday, Jan 7, Republican U.S. Representative, Adam Kinzinger, joined calls for the 25th Amendment to be invoked to remove President Donald Trump from office.
"All indications are that the president has become unmoored, not just from his duty or even his oath, but from reality itself," Mr Kinzinger said in a video he posted on Twitter.
Mr Kingzinger said he was acting alone but would not be surprised if other Republicans followed him.
It is not the first time during his presidency that the amendment has been mentioned in relation to Mr Trump.
Two years ago, an explosive account from a senior official of Mr Trump's administration claimed the cabinet were so worried by the president’s erratic, impulsive behaviour they discussed using the 25th amendment to remove him from power.
Published in the New York Times, the anonymous op-ed revealed that senior figures considered deploying the extreme measure to oust the president.
It was instituted after the death of John F Kennedy, providing a formal mechanism by which the Vice-President could take power if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office.
It also allows for the Vice-President to take over temporarily if the president cannot fulfill his or her duties, such as when President George W Bush went under general anaesthetic for two colonoscopies. Dick Cheney took over on each of those occasions.
This comes in section four, which states: "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.”
In practice what that means is Mike Pence plus 13 of Mr Trump’s 24 cabinet members would have to agree.
The amendment is vague about the specifics. However, John D Feerick, former dean of Fordham Law School who served as one of its architects, said Senators who signed the amendment into law were clear it must be based on "reliable facts regarding the president's physical or mental faculties," not personal prejudice.
"If you read the debates, it's also clear that policy and political differences are not included, unpopularity is not included, poor judgment, incompetence, laziness, or impeachable conduct — none of that, you'll find in the debates in the congressional record, is intended to be covered by Section IV," he told Business Insider.
The mechanism was designed for a president who was incapacitated, not for one willing to fight back.
He or she is protected by a safeguard. Within 21 days of being triggered, the amendment requires two-thirds of both houses to uphold the decision. If they don’t then power reverts to the president.
Very unlikely. It requires both Mr Pence and a majority of the cabinet to agree to oust the president. If he were not physically or mentally incapacitated – through ill health, a stroke or some such - it would effectively amount to a palace coup.
In other words, Mr Trump’s very closest allies are the ones to make the decision.
Any number of Democrats, TV pundits and armchair psychiatrists can label Mr Trump as unfit for office but it makes not one scrap of difference.
Just like impeachment, the tables are tilted to make it very difficult to remove a sitting president from power.

Deutsche Handballer bei der WM: Sie können noch gewinnen

Schon vor dem Anpfiff war alles vorbei. Die Spanier hatten am Nachmittag ihr zweites Hauptrundenspiel gegen Uruguay 38:23 gewonnen, die Ungarn anschließend 30:26 gegen Polen - für die deutschen Handballer waren damit die verbliebenen theoretischen Möglichkeiten, doch noch das Viertelfinale der WM in Ägypten zu erreichen, nicht mehr existent.
Polen hätte Schützenhilfe leisten können, tat es aber nicht, so werden Spanien und Ungarn in der Runde der letzten Acht weiterspielen, um Ruhm, Ehre und Medaillen. Den Deutschen bleibt die Gewissheit, dass es am Dienstag mit dem Flugzeug nach Hause geht.
Ob diese WM auf Abschlussposition neun, zehn, elf oder noch schlechter endet, ist dann fast schon egal. Bob Hanning, der Vizepräsident des Deutschen Handball-Bunds (DHB), sagte der Nachrichtenagentur SID, es sei "natürlich bitter, unser WM-Ziel nicht erreicht zu haben. Wir haben es uns aber selbst zuzuschreiben."
Das Angriffsspiel flutscht deutlich besser
Das Viertelfinale zu verpassen, das war der Handball-Nationalmannschaft zuletzt 2017 passiert. Zum zweiten Hauptrundenspiel gegen Brasilien trat das Team von Bundestrainer Alfred Gislason am Samstagabend nicht mehr mit der allergrößten Anspannung an, manches funktionierte aber plötzlich viel besser als zuletzt. Das 31:24 (16:12) bedeutete den dritten Sieg bei dieser Pandemie-WM, eingerechnet das kampflose 10:0 in der Vorrunde gegen Kap Verde.
Gislason hatte sich im Tor für einen Wechsel entschieden, gegen Andreas Wolff, nach dessen schwacher Leistung im Spanien-Spiel. Für ihn rückte Silvio Heinevetter ins Team. In den Anfangsminuten haute sich vor allem Kreisläufer Johannes Golla rein: Er erzielte die ersten beiden deutschen Treffer, mit dem dritten Angriff holte er einen Siebenmeter heraus, den Marcel Schiller sicher verwandelte.
Das Angriffsspiel flutschte viel besser als gegen Spanien oder Ungarn; schon nach zehn Minuten traf Julius Kühn zum 7:2. Aber es ging ja auch nur gegen die Brasilianer, die handballerisch eine Stufe unter den Ungarn (erweiterte Weltklasse) und zwei Stufen unter den Spaniern (Weltklasse) anzusiedeln sind. Gegen die besseren Mannschaften sind die Räume enger, die Fehler werden schneller bestraft. Um die WM nicht ganz deprimiert zu verlassen, waren die körperlich mächtigen, aber nicht immer flinken Brasilianer ein dankbarer Gegner.
Vorne leitete Philipp Weber das Spiel überlegt an, Golla verwertete am Kreis, was er in die Finger bekam, hinten kam Torhüter Johannes Bitter zu etlichen starken Paraden. Ob es mit dieser Leistung gegen die Spanier gereicht hätte? Zur Halbzeit führten die Deutschen mit vier Toren, diesen Vorsprung konnten sie noch ausbauen, irgendwann waren es sechs Treffer, am Ende sieben. "Unsere Einstellung war sehr gut", erklärte Trainer Gislason. "Wir gehen heute mit einem ganz anderen Gefühl hier raus", sagte Kapitän Uwe Gensheimer.
Ganz vorbei ist die WM immer noch nicht. Am Montag folgt ein weiteres, sportlich wertloses Spiel gegen die ebenfalls ausgeschiedenen Polen (20.30 Uhr, ARD). Danach geht's nach Hause, hoffentlich gesund in eine mehrtägige Quarantäne.

From impeachment to the 25th amendment: The checks on Donald Trump's power in last days in office

Democrats have called for the President's removal from office
The top two Democrats in Congress have called for President Donald Trump's removal from office, one day after his supporters stormed the US Capitol in an assault that provoked widespread condemnation and global alarm.
With 13 days left in Trump's term, House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet should invoke the 25th Amendment of the US Constitution to remove the president.
Absent that, they said Congress should move quickly to expel him through the impeachment process. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee that typically oversees that process, said in a statement he supported immediate impeachment.
Here's everything you need to know about the ways the President can be ousted or reined in.
Yes. They largely remain the same as during his four years as US president.
They combine laws, political considerations, precedent, personal decision-making by those around him and emergency break measures built into the US governmental system.
Throughout his presidency, Mr Trump has pushed against the constraints placed on him, testing the limits of his power, but nothing quite like now.
There is reportedly discussion among cabinet members about using the 25th amendment.
This is a mechanism that allows the US vice president, in this case Mike Pence, and a majority of the cabinet to remove a president.
Democrat congressional leaders have called for this but Republicans may pause on the implications of forcibly removing a leader of their own party.
Yes, impeachment. The mechanism is a way for Congress - rather than the president's cabinet - to remove a president.
The US House of Representatives would need to pass at least one article of impeachment. A majority of House members would have to vote that what he did amounts to "high crimes and misdemeanours", treason or bribery.
If that happens, it would be over to the US Senate. A trial would take place. Two thirds of senators must vote to convict for Mr Trump to be removed.
There is no set time limit to proceedings, so theoretically there is time for Mr Trump to be impeached and removed before the Jan 20 inauguration.
The Democrats control the House and could secure impeachment there without Republican votes.
The situation in the Senate would be much less clear. More than a dozen Republican senators would have to vote to remove Mr Trump to hit the two-thirds threshold. Would Republican senators publicly vote to kick him from office or leave him there until the inauguration?
The behaviour of those around him could be as important as the laws and rules in determining whether a rash demand from Mr Trump is acted upon.
There are reports a senior White House lawyer has been urging staff not to do anything to help the president that could be conceived as helping attempt a coup.
Military leaders could refuse to take his orders and staff could resign to generate negative press to stop him going further - something that has already started.

Moderna Covid vaccine becomes third jab approved for UK use

Government has ordered an additional 10 million doses of the vaccine, and supplies will begin arriving in the spring

Government has ordered an additional 10 million doses of the vaccine, and supplies will begin arriving in the spring
A third coronavirus vaccine has been approved for use in the UK by the independent medicines regulator, the Government announced on Friday morning.
The Moderna jab has been shown to be 94 per cent effective in preventing disease, including in the elderly, during trials, and has passed the regulators' safety and quality tests.
Ministers have ordered an additional 10 million doses of the vaccine, building on an initial pre-order of seven million doses.
Supplies will be delivered to the UK "from spring" – a window between March 20 and June 21 – once US firm Moderna has expanded its production capacity.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) accepted the recommendation of the Commission on Human Medicines to authorise the jab. It followed months of clinical trials that involved tens of thousands of people and an extensive analysis of the vaccine's safety, quality and effectiveness.
The American biotechnology company behind the vaccine has said trial results indicate that the jab is generally well tolerated and has given rise to no serious safety concerns.
No person who has been vaccinated with the jab, known as mRNA-1273, has developed severe coronavirus.
Matt Hancock, the Health Secretary, welcomed the approval of the Moderna vaccine as "another weapon in our arsenal to tame this awful disease".
The development comes after the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine was approved on December 2, with the first doses administered on December 8, and the Oxford University-AstraZeneca jab was given the green light on December 30 and rolled out from January 4.
Almost 1.5 million people have been vaccinated in the UK so far, with the pace of the rollout set to pick up in the coming weeks. Boris Johnson has vowed that "hundreds of thousands" of jabs will be delivered daily from next Friday.
Mr Hancock said Moderna's vaccine "will boost our vaccination programme even further once doses become available".
The joint committee on vaccination and immunisation (JCVI) will submit updated advice on which groups to prioritise for vaccination before doses become available.
Alok Sharma, the Business Secretary, hailed the news as "yet another important step towards ending lockdown and returning to normal life". He highlighted that Britain was one of the first countries in Europe to sign a deal with Moderna and paid tribute to the scientists, trial volunteers, regulators and medics involved in the process.
The Moderna jab works in a similar way to the Pfizer vaccine, targeting the "spike proteins" that coronavirus uses to enter human cells.
Both jabs use synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA), genetic material that contains information about the spike protein to instruct the body to produce a small amount of this protein. In this way, it stimulates the immune system to produce a protective antibody response.
However, unlike the Pfizer jab the Moderna vaccine does not require ultra-cold storage and can remain stable at normal fridge temperature for 30 days.
The vaccine will be rolled out through the same channels via which the Pfizer and Oxford vaccines are being delivered.
This includes hundreds of GP-led vaccine sites and hospital hubs, and from next week seven mass vaccine centres based in sports stadia and other large venues.
Everyone in the country will be within a 10-mile radius of an available vaccine, Mr Johnson pledged on Thursday night, amid growing fears over a postcode lottery.
Nadine Zahawi, the vaccine deployment minister, said: "The NHS is pulling out all the stops to vaccinate those most at risk as quickly as possible, with over 1,000 vaccination sites live across the UK by the end of the week to provide easy access to everyone, regardless of where they live.
"The Moderna vaccine will be a vital boost to these efforts, and will help us return to normal faster."
The Vaccines Taskforce has ordered 367 million doses of seven vaccines so far. The Government has invested £230 million into manufacturing a successful jab and has made more than £6 billion available to develop and procure effective vaccines.
Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, the deputy chief medical officer for England, said the new vaccine would save lives once doses come on stream but warned: "It is crucial we all continue to follow the rules to protect each other until enough people have been protected."

An airliner is feared to have crashed into the sea off Indonesia, officials have said. The Boeing 737-500, which belonged to the Sriwijaya Air airline, lost contact with an airport control tower shortly after taking off at 2.36pm local time.
Pictures on social media claimed to show that the plane - reported carrying 56 people on board, including three babies - had landed in the sea.
The crash was said to have taken place around Lancang Island in the Thousand Islands. Novie Riyanto, the Director General of Air Transportation of the Ministry of Transportation Novie Riyanto, was quoted on local media as saying that officials had lost contact with the plane and were trying to establish what had happened.
The plane - flight SJY182 - was travelling from Jakarta to Pontianak.
The aviation tracking website Flightradar24, showed the aircraft plummeting from 8,000ft to 252ft at 33,000 feet per minute:

Der englische Fußball-Spitzenklub Manchester City um Nationalspieler Ilkay Gündogan ist in der vierten Runde des FA Cups nur knapp einer Blamage entgangen. Die Mannschaft von Teammanager Pep Guardiola setzte sich beim Viertligisten Cheltenham Town nach Rückstand dank dreier später Tore noch 3:1 (0:0) durch. Zuvor hatte sich Nationaltorhüter Bernd Leno mit dem Titelverteidiger FC Arsenal aus dem Wettbewerb verabschiedet. Der Hauptstadtklub verlor beim FC Southampton mit Teammanager Ralph Hasenhüttl 0:1 (0:1).
Phil Foden (81.), Gabriel Jesus (84.) und Ferran Torres (90.+4) retteten die Citizens, die durch Alfie May (59.) in Rückstand geraten waren. Guardiola schickte eine runderneuerte Elf in das Spiel gegen das Team aus dem Südwesten Englands. Auch Gündogan saß zunächst auf der Bank, ehe er nach dem Rückstand eingewechselt wurde. Der Favorit hatte viel Ballbesitz, konnte aber seine Chancen zunächst nicht nutzen und musste dann aus dem Gewühl heraus den Gegentreffer hinnehmen. Letztlich wendeten die Gäste aber eine Niederlage noch gerade so ab, Gündogan gab die Vorlage zum dritten City-Treffer.
In Southampton unterlief Arsenals Abwehrspieler Gabriel in der 24. Minute das folgenschwere Eigentor. Arsenal hatte sich in der vergangenen Saison den 14. Pokalsieg gesichert und ist damit auch der Rekord-Cupgewinner im Fußball-Mutterland.
Bergamo schlägt Mailand deutlich
Im Fernduell um die Tabellenspitze der italienischen Serie A hat Inter Mailand die Chance verpasst, nach Punkten zum Stadtrivalen AC Mailand aufzuschließen. Das Team von Trainer Antonio Conte kam am Samstag bei Udinese Calcio nicht über ein 0:0 hinaus und profitierte damit nur zum Teil von der zeitgleichen 0:3 (0:1)-Niederlage der AC gegen Atalanta Bergamo.
Der Tabellenführer (43 Punkte) geriet durch Cristian Romero (26.) in Rückstand. Josip Ilicic (53./Foulelfmeter) und Duvan Zapata (77.) trafen in der zweiten Halbzeit für den Club des deutschen Nationalspielers Robin Gosens, der in der Nachspielzeit ausgewechselt wurde. Inter ist mit 41 Punkten Zweiter.

Experts on white supremacists say the rioters were provoked by online extremism and talk of 'civil war'

Experts on white supremacists say the rioters were provoked by online extremism and talk of 'civil war'
The storming of the US Capitol is a jarring but natural product of years of violence and hateful rhetoric stoked by disinformation and conspiracy theories, experts on far-right extremism said as they watched Wednesday’s riot.
Members of far-right groups, including the Proud Boys, joined the crowds that formed in Washington to cheer on President Trump as he urged them to protest Congress’s counting of Electoral College votes confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s win.
Then they headed to the Capitol. Members of smaller white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups also were spotted in the crowds. Police were photographed stopping a man identified as a leading promoter of the QAnon conspiracy theory from storming the Senate floor.
Online forums popular with Trump supporters lit up with gleeful posts about the chaotic scenes broadcast from the Capitol. Thousands of messages on Parler, a right-wing alternative to Twitter, included the hashtag #civilwar or other variations of the term.
"If you’re surprised, you haven’t been paying attention," said Integrity First for America executive director Amy Spitalnick. "We should all be horrified by this, but nobody should be surprised that this is happening."
Ms Spitalnick’s civil rights group is backing a federal lawsuit filed by victims of the violence that erupted at the August 2017 white nationalist "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left a counterprotester dead. One of the far-right fringe figures who had been listed as a speaker at the Charlottesville rally was livestreaming video of the Capitol melee on Wednesday.

Tim "Baked Alaska" Gionet posted video that showed Trump supporters in "Make America Great Again" and "God Bless Trump" hats milling around and taking selfies with officers who calmly asked them to leave the premises. The Trump supporters talked among themselves, laughed, and told the officers and each other: "This is only the beginning."
The crowd of Trump supporters at the Capitol also included adherents of the "Groyper Army," a loose network of white supremacists that includes "America First" podcaster Nick Fuentes.
Read more: What happened during the US Capitol riots?
Jonathan Greenblatt, the chief executive of the Anti-Defamation League, said the mob’s actions were "clearly consistent" with the conspiratorial rhetoric of QAnon, the baseless belief that Trump has been secretly fighting deep state enemies and a cabal of Satan-worshipping cannibals operating a child sex trafficking ring.
"QAnon has been calling on this kind of madness for years," Mr Greenblatt said.
Representatives of Facebook and Twitter said on Wednesday that they were working to remove threats and calls for violence from the social media platforms.
Oren Segal, vice-president of the ADL’s Center on Extremism, said he spotted members of other white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups – the New Jersey European Heritage Association and Nationalist Social Club – among the pro-Trump crowds in Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Read more: Who was Ashli Babbitt, the women who was shot and killed during the Capitol protests?
The storming of the Capitol is the "logical conclusion to extremism and hate going unchecked" during Trump’s presidency, Mr Segal said.
He added: "We had conspiracy theories animating people to action on the ground. We had the mainstream and the extreme narratives meld."
Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio was arrested this week and ordered to stay out of Washington after he was accused of vandalising a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church last month. During a debate with Mr Biden, Mr Trump refused to criticise the Proud Boys, instead saying the group should "stand back and stand by."
Mr Greenblatt called on social media platforms to immediately suspend Mr Trump’s accounts for violating their terms of service.
"This is a dark day for democracy," Mr Greenblatt said. "I never would have imagined in my lifetime that we would be witnessing armed protesters storming the halls of Congress."
There were also disturbing examples of antisemitism on display. Pictures of a rioter wearing a 'Camp Auschwitz' hoodie were widely circulated online. Another wore a t-shirt saying 6MWE, meaning 'Six Million Wasn't Enough', referring to the holocaust.
The Jerusalem Post also reported that Israeli journalists were harassed. One pro-Trump protester barged in front of a camera for Israeli Channel 13, shouting "I'm gonna get in your face now and I'll tell you why, yid (a derogatory term for Jew)."
"Absolutely despicable," said the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in a tweet in response to the incident. "A rioter was harassing an Israeli reporter with vicious, grotesque antisemitism. This is sadly not shocking considering the violence we saw from extremists at the Capitol."

What, you may wonder, does an overwhelmed Health Secretary managing a huge health crisis do to relax? The answer, it seems, is baking.
In two parliamentary appearances this week, Matt Hancock compared making vaccines to making bread. “It’s a bit like if you bake your own bread,” he declared. “I sometimes do and it is a bit like the creation and growth of yeast.”
Yes, regrettably, many of us have been here, thanks to the interminable boredom of lockdown. So many of us decided to start baking bread last spring that it became impossible to come by a bag of bread flour without entering an eBay auction.
The process Mr Hancock referred to is called creating a starter and it takes three to five days of dedicated “feeding” of a yeast colony on a regular schedule, with no idea of whether it will actually work. It’s messy, repetitive and requires staying power.
At a minimum, after it’s grown, the colony needs storing in the fridge and feeding once a week on a strict schedule well ahead of the intended baking. The precious product is liable to be thrown out by the uninitiated: it looks like a jar of mouldering wall insulation. Making the actual bread involves a set of timers and kneading and dough hooks and planning. In my experience, you end up spilling flour all over the kitchen at 11pm and then leaving the dough at slightly the wrong temperature or finding the optimum time to bake it is actually 3am. In short, it’s the type of hobby that only a highly meticulous or an extremely bored person could keep up.
Mr Hancock, I assume, is the former. We are a long way from the easy days of David Cameron and his push-button, Panasonic bread-maker.
We were promised huge queues at the ports, lorries nose-to-tail for miles from Dover and empty shelves. What we didn’t realise was that even when the Brexit apocalypse failed to materialise, we would be blighted by queues for entirely different reasons.
Over the Christmas holiday, the queue outside my local butcher reached 39 people and counting. While older, out-of-town relatives were stuck with inedible mountains of turkey for 10, city-dwellers were scrambling to secure any sort of festive roast. Now that’s over, the Post Office queue is the place to be, among the ranks of disconsolate gift-receivers clutching Asos bags full of dashed hopes and misspent cash.
I suppose it’s all mildly interesting, as a taster of the alternative reality in which Jeremy Corbyn won the last election and this became a permanent state of affairs. But I can’t wait until we can get back to worrying loudly about the queues that didn’t happen rather than quietly tolerating the ones we’re in.
Well-known Brexit wonk Jill Rutter recently suggested that constant use of the terms “jabs” and “getting jabs in arms” by politicians and media is unnecessarily graphic and may put off the needle-shy.
The term “jabs” will never go out of fashion, because it is so short and therefore headline-friendly, but it seems she is not alone in thinking the presentation of vaccines ought to be friendlier.
The US magazine SELF recently declared that stock photos of inoculations are “notoriously bad”, so it has created an alternative set and made them available for free. Unfortunately, its offering shoots well past being helpful and enters the realms of the ridiculous.
Photo after photo depicts inexplicably glammed-up people smiling like lunatics while a medic wields a syringe at them and then, oddly, places a colourful plaster over the injection site (whoever needed a plaster after a vaccine?).
One of the people featured is covered with tattoos, so I’m guessing she’s probably not needle-phobic. Others depict grinning toddlers, which surely raises the question of what exactly has been injected into the tots, because no baby I know smiles when stabbed with a needle.
Rather than patronising people, we should surely be matter-of-fact about the whole thing. It’s an injection. It’s mildly painful. Then it’s over – until you’re lucky enough to get the next dose.
Ministers say that teachers will be high on the vaccine priority list after the most clinically vulnerable groups are done. It will be a real challenge to the unions’ creativity to see what new excuses they can find for keeping schools closed after that.

In chaotic scenes in Washington DC, protesters stormed their way into the heart of American democracy
A mob of Donald Trump's supporters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, Jan 6 in a bid to overthrow November's election result.
Dozens of protesters broke into the building and roamed the corridors as tens of thousands gathered outside in support of the president’s false claims of election fraud.
Congressmen who had gathered to certify the election results were forced to flee under escort as law enforcement lost control of the situation.
Five people have died and at least 60 people have been arrested.
Despite these events, however, the US Congress has confirmed Joe Biden will become the next President of the United States of America, after they certified 270 Electoral College votes this Thursday, Jan 7.
After Congress approved Vermont's votes, Mr Biden has reached the number of Electoral College votes needed to become the President of America. He has, therefore, defeated Donald Trump by 306-232.
Then, following the fatal events on Capitol Hill, Donald Trump committed to a peaceful transition of power for the first time.
In a short video posted on Twitter (below), Mr Trump said being president had been "the honour of my lifetime" and insisted that in spreading baseless claims of election fraud he had merely been "fighting to defend American democracy". He also committed to a "smooth transition of power".
The traditional outdoor ceremony is set to go ahead - though the coronavirus pandemic could scale back the usual celebrations.
Mr Biden condemned the events at Capitol Hill during a speech on Jan 7, calling them "one of the darkest days in the history of our nation" and "an assault on the rule of law."
He added: "Don't you dare call them protesters; they were a riotous mob, insurrectionists, domestic terrorists. It's that basic, it's that simple."
Mr Trump is set to leave on Jan 20 when Mr Biden is inaugurated and tweeted on Friday that he planned to skip Mr Biden's inauguration, becoming the first president in more than 150 years - and just the fourth in US history - to do so.
Mr Trump has since been permanently suspended from Twitter "due to the risk of further incitement of violence", the social media firm said.
It was a significant move against the man who joined the site in 2009 and built his run to the presidency on the back of his online popularity, which led to him finishing his time on Twitter with almost 89 million followers.
In a statement on Twitter's blog on Jan 8, it said it had decided to take action against Mr Trump's account after a review of two of the President's tweets posted on the same day found they had violated its glorification of violence policy.
Here's everything else we know.
Sent on their way by Mr Trump to march up Capitol Hill from the White House, the president's vocal army of supporters descended on the Capitol Building.
They clashed with officers. Then some stormed the building. Congressmen were scrambled out of the chambers as reports of armed stand-offs emerged.
The first protesters reached the inside of the building around 2pm, shortly after both the Senate and the House began proceedings to certify the election results.
In the House chamber security officers pulled their guns to barricade the door. At least one pro-Trump protester made it into the Senate chamber, sitting with hand aloft in victory.
Photographs soon emerged of protesters having breached the floor. One showed a man in a bobble hat sitting in Mr Pence’s chair, arm aloft in victory.
As rioters shouted and waved Trump and American flags, people inside the building were directed to duck under their seats for cover and put on gas masks after tear gas was used in the Capitol Rotunda.

Thousands of the president’s faithful had gathered the night before, arriving after Mr Trump demanded support for his on-going claim that he, not Mr Biden, was the real election victor.
Wednesday was the day when Congress performs its largely ceremonial duty of signing off the results ahead of the inauguration on Jan 20, when Mr Biden becomes president.

A US Air Force veteran has been identified as the protester killed in the Capitol building.
Ashli Babbit, who was married and lived near San Diego, California, was fatally shot in the chaos, her husband told US news channel KUSI. She appeared to have been shot in her neck, before a mob tried to attend to her. It was unclear who fired the shot.
Babbit, a Trump supporter, served for 14 years in the service and had been involved in four tours of duty, the channel reported.
Three other people died from "medical emergencies", officials said.
U. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick died of injuries suffered during the riot, the force said in a statement late on Thursday.
"Officer Sicknick was responding to the riots...and was injured while physically engaging with protesters," police said in a statement.
He succumbed on Thursday after being taken to hospital following his collapse upon returning to his divisional office, they added.
Many more people have been injured.

A 6pm citywide curfew was announced as evening approached. The events were widely described as a dark day for American democracy.
The entire District of Columbia National Guard, made up of 1,100 troops, was ordered into the city at the request of Washington mayor Muriel Bowser.
Fifty-two people have so far been arrested.
Robert Contee, DC's Chief of Police, said firearms have been recovered by officers, including long guns and hand guns.
Two pipe bombs were found near the Democrat and Republican party headquarters, according to reports.
The mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, has also extended the Emergency Declaration until Jan 21, the day after Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony.
This gives city officials the power to order people off the street if a curfew is issued, reduce the hours of operation for businesses across the city, and expend funds as needed to protect public safety.
The mayor shared: "President Trump continues to fan rage and violence by contending that the Presidential election was invalid," adding, "some persons can be expected to continue their violent protests through the inauguration."
Mr Trump had addressed the crowds hours before they marched on the Capitol, telling them to “stop the steal” and doubling down on his false claims of election victory.
As the violence broke out Mr Trump later called for calm, tweeting: “I am asking for everyone at the US Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!”
Mr Trump later released a video calling his supporters to go home. He said: “You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.”
But moments later, the president doubled down on his baseless claims of election fraud. Even as the Capitol is being assaulted, Donald Trump is continuing to tweet false claims that the election has been stolen.
On evening of Jan 7, Mr Trump acknowledged that a new US administration will take over on Jan 20 and condemned the mob that stormed the Capitol during a conciliatory new video address.
In a message of unity delivered to the camera, the US president said his supporters who broke into the Capitol had “defiled the seat of American democracy”.
Mr Trump called for punishments for those who had broken the law and urged calm, saying that “tempers must be cooled and calm restored”.
He also promised to work towards the “smooth, orderly and seamless transfer of power” in what was his firmest drawing of a line under the election results to date.
In his latest tweet, he claims that the vote has been "unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots".
Mr Biden condemned the violence and called on protesters to fall back in a statement delivered to the cameras on Wednesday afternoon (see video below).
"Let me be very clear. The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect the true America [and] do not represent who we are," the president-elect said.
“What we’re seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness. This is not dissent, it’s disorder. It’s chaos. It borders on sedition. And it must end now.
“I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward.”
Mr Pence issued a more forceful call for protesters to depart. "This attack on our Capitol will not be tolerated and those involved will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," he wrote on Twitter.
Mike Pompeo, the US secretary of state, said that "violence is intolerable" and that the actions of the protesters were unacceptable.

Mr Trump has since been permanently banned from Twitter and Facebook after growing calls for social media platforms to remove the president's incendiary posts, or delete his accounts entirely.
In a statement on Twitter's blog on Jan 8, it said it had decided to take action against Mr Trump's account after a review of two of the President's tweets posted on the same day found they had violated its glorification of violence policy.
The firm said Mr Trump's the refusal to attend Mr Biden's inauguration was being received by his supporters as "further confirmation that the election was not legitimate" and him disavowing his previous claim there would be an "orderly transition".
It claimed the second tweet may also "serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a 'safe' target, as he will not be attending".
The use of the words "American Patriots" to describe some of his supporters was also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol, Twitter said.
It added: "Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.
"As such, our determination is that the two tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so."
Following the ban, Twitter later deleted two tweets apparently issued by Mr Trump on the @POTUS account, and also suspended the @TeamTrump account after it spread a statement from the president.
The statement said: "After close review of recent tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them - specifically how they are being received and interpreted on and off Twitter - we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.
"In the context of horrific events this week, we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter rules would potentially result in this very course of action. Our public interest framework exists to enable the public to hear from elected officials and world leaders directly. It is built on a principle that the people have a right to hold power to account in the open.
"However, we made it clear going back years that these accounts are not above our rules entirely and cannot use Twitter to incite violence, among other things.
"We will continue to be transparent around our policies and their enforcement."
Facebook removed a short video on Jan 6, which Mr Trump had posted to his social media accounts.
Facebook's vice president of integrity Guy Rosen said the action was taken "because on balance we believe it contributes to rather than diminishes the risk of ongoing violence".
Later that day, the site blocked his ability to post new content. Then on Jan 7, it said he would remain blocked until his term in the White House concluded on Jan 20.

Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the Democratic Party leaders in the US House of Representatives and Senate respectively, demanded Mr Trump's immediate removal amid outrage at his actions before the US Capitol was stormed by a mob of his supporters.
They publicly called on Mike Pence, the US vice president, to invoke the 25th Amendment, a mechanism that removes a president who is "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office".
A wave of top officials quit the White House on Wednesday, turning their backs on Mr Trump.
A number of White House staff, including Sarah Matthews, the deputy press secretary, and Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump's chief of staff, resigned effective immediately. It was also reported on Wednesday evening that Chris Liddell, the president's deputy chief of staff, has quit.
The US media reported that Mr Trump's Cabinet secretaries were discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove the president. The amendment theoretically allows for the removal of a president who is incapacitated or unwilling to perform their duties.
Seventeen Democratic congressmen signed a letter on Wednesday night calling on Mike Pence to enact the amendment and remove Mr Trump.

Boris Johnson called on the US to restore the rule of law. "Disgraceful scenes in US Congress, the British prime minister tweeted.
"The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power. "
EU officials expressed shock at the "assault on US democracy".
"To witness tonight's scenes in Washington DC is a shock," European Council president Charles Michel tweeted.
"In the eyes of the world, American democracy tonight appears under siege," the European Union's foreign policy supremo Josep Borrell said, in a separate tweet.
"This is an unseen assault on US democracy, its institutions and the rule of law. This is not America. The election results of 3 November must be fully respected," Mr Borrell said, referring to the US presidential election that saw Trump beaten by Joe Biden.
"The strength of US democracy will prevail over extremist individuals," Mr Borrell said.
Speaking to Sky News, Kim Darroch, the UK's former ambassador to the US, shared his belief that Mr Trump was not fit to be president, before suggesting Number 10 "got too close" to the Trump presidency.
The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, has announced she is "furious and saddened" by the violence seen in Washington DC, and said Mr Trump shares the blame for the unrest among his supporters.
"I deeply regret that President Trump has not conceded his defeat, since November and again yesterday," she said, before adding:
"Doubts about the election outcome were stoked and created the atmosphere that made the events of last night possible."
Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, has labelled the US electoral system as "archaic", before saying it does not meet democratic standards- blaming the media's politicisation for the deep unrest in the American capital.
Speaking to Russian news agencies, she shared: "The electoral system in the United States is archaic, it does not meed modern democratic standards, creating opportunities for numerous violations, and the American media have become an instrument of political struggle".
Furthermore, a senior Russian lawmaker has said American democracy is "limping on both feet". In a post on Facebook, Konstantin Kosachyov, the chair of the Russian upper house's foreign affairs committee continued:
"The celebration of democracy has ended. It has, unfortunately, hit rock bottom, and I say this without a hint of gloating."
"America no longer charts the course and so has lost all right to set it. And, even more so, to impose it on others."
However, Chinese officials have indeed gloated over the chaos seen in DC. The state-owned outlets mocked US politicians who had spoken out in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong storming the city's legislative building in 2018:
"@SpeakerPelosi once referred to the Hong Kong riots as a 'beautiful sight to behold' – it remains yet to be seen whether she will say the same about the recent developments in Capitol Hill," read the Communist Party outlet, the Global Times, in their pinned tweet.

Chaos and violence as US Capitol overrun by Trump supporters trying to overthrow result of the election
Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the US Capitol building on Wednesday to stop the confirmation of Joe Biden as the next president, as unprecedented scenes of violence and chaos played out in Washington.
Scores of protesters managed to break into the building and roam the corridors of Congress as tens of thousands gathered outside in support of the US president’s false claims of election victory.
A woman died after being shot in the chest inside the Capitol, police said. She was part of a crowd that was breaking down the doors to a barricaded room where armed officers stood on the other side.
City police said three other people died from medical emergencies during the long protest on and around the Capitol grounds.
Congressmen who had gathered in the Senate and the House of Representatives to certify the election results were forced to flee under escort as law enforcement lost control of the situation.
In the House chamber, security officers pulled their guns and barricaded the door.
At least one pro-Trump protester entered the Senate chamber, sitting with his hand aloft in victory.
As evening approached, a 6pm citywide curfew was announced. The events were widely described as a dark day for American democracy.
Senators were told to go back to the voting chamber on Wednesday night to complete the voting process to confirm Mr Biden's victory after it had been cleared.
Mr Trump had addressed the crowds hours before they marched on the Capitol, telling them to “stop the steal” and doubling down on his false claims of election victory.

Mr Biden, the president-elect, said US democracy was under “unprecedented assault”. “I call on President Trump to go on national TV and demand an end to this siege,” he said.
“Let me be very clear. The scenes of chaos at the Capitol do not reflect the true America [and] do not represent who we are. What we’re seeing are a small number of extremists dedicated to lawlessness.
“This is not dissent, it’s disorder. It’s chaos. It borders on sedition. And it must end now. I call on this mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward.”
After violence broke out, Mr Trump called for calm, writing on Twitter: “I am asking for everyone at the US Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!”
Mr Trump later released a video telling his supporters to go home. He said: “You have to go home now. We have to have peace. We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.”
But he continued to maintain a "landslide" election had been "fraudulently stolen" from him. He told the protesters: "We love you. You're very special. I know how you feel."
Mr Trump told them to "go home with peace and love" and "remember this day forever!"
Twitter removed two of his Twitter posts for violating its rules, as social media companies scrambled to address the messages being spread on their platforms.
Later, Twitter locked Mr Trump out of his account for 12 hours after he repeatedly violated their policy in relation to the violent clashes in Capitol Hill, revoking his special protection as an elected official.
Then, following these fatal events, Donald Trump committed to a peaceful transition of power for the first time.
In a statement from the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, Mr Trump announced he "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!”

Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister, wrote on Twitter: “Disgraceful scenes in US Congress. The United States stands for democracy around the world and it is now vital that there should be a peaceful and orderly transfer of power.”
Former president George W. Bush on Wednesday denounced some of his fellow Republicans for fuelling the "insurrection".
"This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic - not our democratic republic," he said.
Mike Pompeo, a Trump loyalist, tweeted urging the extremists be taken to task. "Let us swiftly bring justice to the criminals who engaged in this rioting," he tweeted.
The remarkable developments in the nation’s capital were not inevitable when the sun rose on Wednesday morning, though there was a sense of foreboding around the city.
Thousands of the president’s faithful had gathered the night before, arriving after Mr Trump demanded support for his ongoing claim that he, not Mr Biden, was the real election victor. It was the day when Congress was due to perform its largely ceremonial duty of signing off the results ahead of the inauguration on Jan 20, when Mr Biden becomes president.
But the day had double significance. The final balance of the Senate, a chamber in which the Republicans have held the majority for six years, swung in favour of the Democrats.
Georgia, a deeply conservative and deeply religious state which has been a stronghold of the Republican Party for decades, voted on Tuesday for its two US senators.
The races had gone to a so-called run-off after no candidate got more than 50 per cent in the November election. But it carried more significance than just that. The Democrats were on 48 Senate seats and the Republicans on 50 before the run-offs.
If the Democrats won both, they would finally have control of the Senate because the vice-president – soon to be Kamala Harris, Mr Biden’s running mate – casts the deciding vote in ties. On Wednesday morning it was clear the Democrats were heading for just that.
The Rev Raphael Warnock was declared the winner in his race against Kelly Loeffler, the Republican. The result made Mr Warnock only the 11th black senator elected in US history and the first to represent the state of Georgia.
The second race, between Jon Ossoff, a 33-year-old documentary film-maker, and David Perdue, the sitting republican senator, was closer. But by the afternoon the race had been called for Mr Ossoff. The Democrats had flipped both seats – a remarkable feat.
Democrats were celebrating their expected victories and working out just how beneficial it would be for Mr Biden’s presidency.
For one, he will no longer need to rely on Republican votes to confirm any of his proposed cabinet members – some of whom had been controversial – or judicial appointments, not least a Supreme Court pick should a seat become free in his term. For another, passing his legislative agenda will be easier. While bold progressive reforms like expanding government-funded healthcare and major climate change action may be hard to keep the Democrats united on, others such as getting more stimulus money to help those affected by the pandemic should pass.
Plus it will mean the Democrats, not the Republicans, will hold the gavels on Senate committees, and with it the power over what and who to investigate. That could help Mr Biden in his first two years in office.
The jubilation on the Democratic side was matched by the frustration on the Republican side. Georgia was now a blue state, won by Mr Biden at the election and with two Democratic senators. Much of the blame was heading towards Mr Trump, who had gone to political war with senior Republicans in Georgia over their refusal to overturn Mr Biden’s win and disheartened supporters with claims of election rigging.
Josh Holmes, the former chief of staff to Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell, was among those to point the finger at the president.
The president, however, reached for a familiar explanation – vote rigging. Just like in the wake of his presidential election defeat, Mr Trump began to make unfounded and wild allegations of election fraud on Twitter.
By midmorning attention was focusing on downtown Washington DC.
Tens of thousands of pro-Trump protesters had been gathering outside the White House. Their presence in the capital was not just welcomed by Mr Trump but actively encouraged. For weeks, the president has been turning his attention to Congress’s role in approving the presidential election results.
Since the election the courts and the states have consistently rejected the president’s claim that he won a “landslide” only to have it somehow “stolen”. Now Congress was Mr Trump’s last remaining hope. Gary Dalbec had travelled seven hours from Charleston, South Carolina to attend the march. He said he hoped the protest would help to “expose the fraudulent election” and give Mr Trump another term in office.
“It was fraud. They’ve got the evidence, they’re hiding it. We just need the right people to expose it. “The rest of the people are committing treason,” he added. “Today is make or break.”
Susan Cardin, from Colorado, said she had been protesting outside the White House since 5am. “We’re here to save America. We’re here to stop the steal,” she said.
When the president eventually spoke he unleashed a furious verbal attack on Republican congressmen who had refused to endorse his baseless claims of victory. “They’re weak Republicans. They’re pathetic Republicans,” he said at one point.
His defiance of election defeat was total: “We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”
Mr Trump also repeatedly demanded that Mike Pence, who as vice-president oversees the Senate procedures, somehow intervene to reject the confirmation of the election results.
“Mike Pence, I hope you’re going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country,” he said. “And if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you.”
The crowd cheered. And yet just as Mr Trump was uttering his demands, Mr Pence was doing the opposite – releasing a letter sent to congressmen explaining why he would not be following the president’s advice.
It argued that he had no power to “unilaterally” throw out the decision of the people, insisting such a move would be unconstitutional.
It was a remarkable moment in the Trump presidency, the point when Mr Pence publicly broke with Mr Trump. But he was not alone. Shortly afterwards, once Mr Pence stepped into the chair to oversee the Senate debate that would confirm the results, Mr McConnell rose. He too was about to break with the president. He said the vote was the most important he had taken in his 36 years in the US Senate.
“President Trump claims the election was stolen. Nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale that would have tipped the entire election.” He added: “Voters, courts, the states have all spoken. They’ve all spoken. If we overrule them it would damage our republic forever. “If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side then our democracy would enter a death spiral.”
Meanwhile, a number of White House officials resigned in the hours following the violence, including deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger. His departure follows two top aides to 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, will also resign, along with deputy chief of staff Chris Liddell.
There were rebels, however. Thirteen Republican senators or senators-elect had made public their desire to object to the results beforehand.
In the event it was Ted Cruz, the Texas senator who came close to winning the 2016 Republican nomination and is expected to try again in 2024, who led the charge.
He said large numbers of Americans believed the election was “rigged” and polls showed that included 17 per cent of Democrats. Mr Cruz said “simply "telling the voters go jump in a lake” would “jeopardise the legitimacy of this and subsequent elections”.
Mr Cruz said: “I am not arguing for setting aside the result of the election.”
Instead, he wanted Congress to appoint an impartial electoral commission to hold an emergency 10-day audit and resolve the claims.
The move was doomed to defeat. Even before the session had started it was clear the vast majority of US senators were willing and ready to confirm Mr Biden’s victory.
But then the crowds descended. Sent on their way by Mr Trump to march up Capitol Hill from the White House, his vocal army of supporters reached the Capitol building. The first protesters reached the inside at 2pm.
Lawmakers were told to duck under their seats for cover and put on gas masks after tear gas was used in the Capitol Rotunda. Some House lawmakers tweeted they were sheltering in place in their offices.
Democratic Congressman Scott Peters told reporters he was in the House chamber when rioters began storming it. Security officers "made us all get down, you could see that they were fending off some sort of assault, it looked like.
They had a piece of furniture up against the door, the door, the entry to the floor from the Rotunda, and they had guns pulled," Peters said.
"And they just told us to take our pins off," he added, referring to lapel pins members wear so Capitol Police can quickly identify them. Then the lawmakers were evacuated.
Staff members grabbed the boxes of Electoral College votes as the evacuation took place. Otherwise, said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., the ballots likely would have been destroyed by the protesters.
Trump supporters posting on internet forums popular with far-right fringe elements celebrated the chaos. Messages posted on one turned from profane frustration over the content of Trump's speech to glee when supporters stormed the building. At least one leading figure was livestreaming video from inside the Capitol during the siege.
The entire District of Columbia National Guard, made up of 1,100 troops, was ordered into the city at the request of Washington’s mayor, Muriel Bowser.
Footage showed that one protester reached the office of Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic House Speaker, and left a note reading “we will not back down”.
Both Ms Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, released a statement calling on Mr Trump to demand that all protesters leave the US Capitol. The democratic system had ground to a halt.
Pro-Trump demonstrators assembled elsewhere in the country, forcing evacuations in at least two states. Cheers rang out in St. Paul, Minnesota, from demonstrators in reaction to the news that supporters of Mr Trump had stormed the Capitol. New Mexico state police evacuated staff from a statehouse building as a precaution after hundreds of flag-waving supporters arrived in a vehicle caravan and on horseback.
The Pentagon said about 1,100 District of Columbia National Guard members were being mobilised to help support law enforcement at the Capitol. More than a dozen people were arrested.
As darkness began to set in, law enforcement officials worked their way toward the protesters, using percussion grenades to try to clear the area around the Capitol. Big clouds of tear gas were visible. Police in full riot gear moved down the steps, clashing with demonstrators.
As the Senate reconvened to complete the voting process to confirm Mr Biden's victory, Mr Pence condemned the violent supporters of Mr Trump.
"You did not win. Violence never wins," Mr Pence said of the gang of people who responded to Mr Trump's call to protest his loss in November's presidential election.
Mr Pence said the Capitol was secured, and urged the Senate to "get back to work."
Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the "failed insurrection" underscored lawmakers' duty to confirm the vote. Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Congress would show the world "what America is made of" by finishing the count.
The mayor of Washington DC, Muriel Bowser, announced he will extend the Emergency Declaration until Jan 21, the day after Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony.
This gives city officials the power to order people off the street if a curfew is issued, reduce the hours of operation for businesses across the city, and expend funds as needed to protect public safety.
The mayor shared: "President Trump continues to fan rage and violence by contending that the Presidential election was invalid," adding, "some persons can be expected to continue their violent protests through the inauguration."
Punctuating their resolve, both the House and Senate soundly defeated the first objection, to election results from Arizona that had been raised by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz. Still, most House Republicans had voted for it. Proceedings pushed into the night.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, has also labelled the US electoral system as "archaic", before suggesting it does not meet democratic standards- blaming the media's politicisation for the deep unrest in the American capital.
Speaking to Russian news agencies, she shared: "The electoral system in the United States is archaic, it does not meed modern democratic standards, creating opportunities for numerous violations, and the American media have become an instrument of political struggle".
On Wednesday night, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, asked that people “pray for the USA”. He wrote in a tweet: “For the moment let us pray for the USA, the world’s greatest defender of democracy until now, as it faces this huge shock. May God bless America with peace and reconciliation.”

Lime has changed its corporate travel policy to ensure not a dime of its money ends up in the coffers of the Trump Organization’s hotels and other properties in response to the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that led to several deaths.
The micromobility startup wants to take that action further and has asked TripActions, the Palo Alto-based corporate travel booking service that it uses, to encourage other customers to do the same. TripActions has not returned emails seeking comment.
Earlier today, Lime asked TripActions to remove Trump properties from showing up in a search if one of its employees is booking corporate travel, according to an internal email written by Lime CEO Wayne Ting and sent to the rest of the staff.
“While some startups have argued that companies should never be political, we have always understood that the work we do here at Lime is inherently political,” Ting wrote. “We are speaking out and standing up for what we believe is right because that is the right thing to do. And we are looking for ways to ensure our actions — and dollars — don’t support those who are complicit in this attack on our democracy.”
Lime has not made any political contributions to date, according to the email. (TechCrunch confirmed with Lime that it hasn’t made any federal political contributions.) Ting wrote that the company will never support any elected official who voted to challenge the certification of the results of the Electoral College. He then went further, extending it to the Trump Organization, a real estate portfolio that includes hotels, golf properties and resorts as well as residential holdings like Trump Tower.
“Moreover, we are committing to never support or spend money at any of the business ventures and affiliates of the Trump and Kushner families,” Ting wrote. “In fact, earlier today, we asked TripActions to remove all Trump properties from Lime search results and encouraged them to institute this policy for all of their customers.”

Ministers considering tough new measures to pressure more people to stay at home

Ministers considering tough new measures to pressure more people to stay at home
Ministers are considering a "tough crackdown" to pressure more Britons to stay at home after the daily coronavirus death toll hit a record high.
There is growing concern in Government over compliance with the latest lockdown after Covid cases continued to rise sharply, with one in 15 people now estimated to be infected in some parts of London. Rates in Liverpool and some other areas have almost quadrupled in a week.
A new hard-hitting Government advertising campaign, unveiled on Friday night, warned the public that if they leave their homes "people will die".
In a new television advertisement, Professor Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer, says: "Covid-19, especially the new variant, is spreading quickly across the country. This puts many people at risk of serious disease and is placing a lot of pressure on our NHS. Once more, we must all stay home."
The campaign urges people to "act like you've got it", adding that "anyone can spread it".
Boris Johnson issued a plea to the nation to obey the rules, saying doing so "is now more vital than ever" because the NHS faces "severe strain".
He warned against complacency based on the "renewed hope" offered by the vaccine rollout.
"Our hospitals are under more pressure than at any other time since the start of the pandemic, and infection rates across the entire country continue to soar at an alarming rate," the Prime Minister said.
The Telegraph understands that the Government is considering taking tougher enforcement action amid pressure from scientists and Labour politicians to introduce further restrictions.
On Friday, the UK recorded 1,325 virus deaths, its highest ever daily toll, surpassing the previous worst total of 1,224 at the peak of the first wave in April.
The 68,053 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus is also the highest number reported by the Government in a single day since the beginning of the pandemic, although daily cases may have been higher in April when mass testing was not taking place.
Case rates rose in all 315 English local authority areas in the seven days to Monday, bar one – Richmond upon Thames. In another London borough, Barking and Dagenham, one in 15 people now have the virus, according to Public Health England (PHE).
Rishi Sunak, the Chancellor, is under pressure to do more to help small business workers who may be struggling to afford to stay at home, with Transport for London data showing that buses and trains were much busier than during the first lockdown.
On Friday, Mark Drakeford, the Welsh first minister, announced that he would be introducing tougher coronavirus restrictions, including tighter social distancing and capacity measures in supermarkets.
It comes as schools were reportedly inundated with the children of key workers at much higher rates than during the first lockdown, raising fears that Covid will continue to spread in classrooms.
The new adverts, which will appear on the television, radio and social media, appeal to the public's conscience. One features a man in a hospital bed and says: "If you go out you can spread it. People will die." Others stress that the hyper-infectious Covid variant is spreading fast, and that one in three people with it do not have symptoms but can pass it on.
Ministers are increasingly concerned about compliance with the lockdown but believe there are few additional major options left to tighten the restrictions any further.
"There's not a lot more that we can do," said a Government source. We've put in these very tough national restrictions. It is a lockdown for everyone all the time." The source stressed that the focus now was on persuading the public to obey the current rules.
Heavier-handed enforcement remains a lever the Government could pull, however. Police forces are already stepping up their role, having said this week that they will take a stricter approach to the latest lockdown.
Government insiders pointed out that the blanket lockdown rules are simpler – and should therefore be easier to police – than the tiers system.
However, Downing Street faces pressure to implement tougher restrictions. On Friday, the London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, called for face masks to be worn outside the home, including in supermarket queues, and demanded that churches and other places of worship be closed.
Asked about the latter suggestion, Michael Gove, the Cabinet Office minister, said: "It's absolutely vital that traditions of public worship can continue, and I think it's a very important part of the life of the nation."
A senior scientific adviser to the Government warned on Friday that the third lockdown is unlikely to bring cases down, saying deaths would only begin to fall again once enough people have been vaccinated.
Experts are now expecting the epidemic to rise to a peak and then plateau because the new UK Covid variant is so infectious that it is impossible to bring the 'R' number below one with the current measures.
Government scientists have also advised that the two-metre social distancing rule should be reinstated. A source said: "Whilst we moved to one metre plus as being ok, in fact with the new variant one metre becomes less OK and two metres is better."
Mr Khan declared a major incident in London as the coronavirus infection rate in the capital exceeded 1,000 per 100,000 people – a 27 per cent increase in hospital patients between December 30 and January 6. There are now more than 7,000 people in hospital with Covid, a 35 per cent increase compared to the previous peak of the pandemic.
The triggering of major incident status – defined as a situation requiring a special response by the emergency services – came the day after Sussex and Surrey took the same step. It was previously triggered in the capital after the London Bridge terror attack and the Grenfell Tower fire disaster, both of which happened in June 2017.
The latest NHS Test and Trace data shows that people with the UK variant pass the virus on to 15 per cent of their close contacts, compared to just 11 per cent for those with the original virus.
A source close to the Government said: "With the increased transmission, the measures won't slam the 'R' down as effectively as they did in March so it may look a bit flatter. We may well stick at a plateau for quite a long time, rather than a peak and decrease.
"Once all the care homes are vaccinated, you would expect the death rate to come down, maybe in February some time, and you might expect to see that from the hospitalisation a bit later.
"If the vaccination programme rolls out really effectively and the vaccines behave as well as they've done in trials, then you start to see a real opportunity to start easing things off a bit over the summer and spring.
"But then you may need to have something reintroduced next winter and you think about things like mask wearing and social distancing to make sure that we don't we don't give the virus a chance to spread again."
New data from PHE shows the UK variant is now the dominant strain in Britain, accounting for 80 per cent of all cases.

Harlequins' fixture with Wasps became the latest Premier 15s game to be postponed on Friday

Harlequins' fixture with Wasps became the latest Premier 15s game to be postponed on Friday
Questions are growing over the integrity of the Premier 15s after it emerged two England women's players tested positive for coronavirus before the squad's national camp earlier this week.
Both cases have been confirmed by the Rugby Football Union, with a third player also unable to attend the camp at England’s Pennyhill Park base in Bagshot due to being a household contact.
Under international protocols, women's players must be tested before national camps, unlike in England's elite domestic league, which has been allowed to continue with adapted law variations during the lockdown.
It comes as Harlequins' fixture with Wasps became the latest Premier 15s game to be postponed on Friday, just days after Harlequins player and US international Kristine Sommer questioned whether it was safe for the league to continue without coronavirus testing.
Sommer wrote on social media: “I’ll say it 100,000 times how grateful I am to play rugby in the UK, but when is player safety a concern? No real bubbles - no testing. This should be discussed, right?”
On the same day that London mayor Sadiq Khan declared a major incident in the capital - where case numbers have exceeded 1,000 per every 100,000 people - Harlequins’ cited "ongoing Covid-19 concerns" within its camp as the reason for the cancellation.
The match is the club's second fixture to have been cancelled in the past week, after the league leaders’ top-of-the-table clash against league champions Saracens was postponed on January 2.
Law variations have been introduced in the Premier 15s - including limited scrums and 35-minute halves - in a bid to reduce face-to-face contact and minimise possible Covid-19 transmission.
With the current Covid-19 variant known to be much more transmissible than earlier forms of the virus, the RFU insists the current law variations are adequate, having held discussions with Public Health England, which is “comfortable” for the league to continue in its current format.
France’s top women’s league has been suspended since November, while Ireland’s Energia women’s domestic competition is yet to start.
The Women’s Six Nations also remains shrouded in uncertainty, with a date yet to be set for the start for this year’s competition, although the men’s tournament is due to begin on February 6.
It is understood that England players have been told to expect the tournament to go ahead and, like Wales and Ireland, have further pre-tournament camps scheduled throughout January.
One of the biggest obstacles tournament organisers face is whether the women’s championship can fall under ‘elite sport’ across all six nations - which would allow teams to travel and be exempt from certain travel and quarantine restrictions.

Picketing Heathrow isn't the best way to build a more sustainable travel industry

Becoming a better traveller starts with a simple adage: "be prepared"

Becoming a better traveller starts with a simple adage: "be prepared"
For the past few years, one of my most cherished January traditions has been to roughly plot my travel plans for the year ahead. Right now, admittedly, plotting anything more ambitious than a trip to the supermarket sounds laughable.
And I can still hear laughter ringing in my ears about the plans I made for 2020: this time last year, I was booking Amtrak train tickets across America, from LA to New York, stopping along the way to cover music and festivals such as Modernism Week in Palm Springs, SXSW in Austin, Jazz Fest in New Orleans and Boston Calling in London. (OK, Boston Calling is in Boston, I’m just checking you haven’t zoned out through travel envy, a powerful soporific force.)
Anyway, very little of this trip happened; I made it to Austin in March the week they cancelled SXSW, and flew back to Britain just in time for Lockdown 1. Despite this, I’m spending my January dreaming about adventures to come in 2021, elbow-deep in newspaper travel sections such as this week’s delightful cover story. Even if trips are delayed until later in the year, or even if they don’t happen this year at all, it’s still important to have clear travel intentions. Because I want to make sure that every travel decision I make in 2021 is a conscious decision, and not be swayed by some dazzling deal, or a friend’s Instagram post, or a last-minute invitation.
A few years ago, I adopted a single new year’s resolution: to not buy a single plastic bottle of water all year. It sounds simple, and, when I got into the swing of things, it was – but it did require me to a bit more organised. And a bit more assertive, asking cafés or pubs to fill up my bottle when I was on the go. Both these things made this a perfect resolution, because it did require a small degree of discipline and dedication, but it was also manifestly manageable.
I’ve since learned that this “be prepared” adage applies to other areas of careless consumption. Rushed packing before a trip would mean I’d have to buy cheap sunglasses in the airport, even though I have 10 pairs at home. But poor planning would also apply to entire holidays – when instead of thinking calmly about destinations I’d like to prioritise, friends and family I’d like to see, hotels I want to stay in, things I want to learn, courses I want to do – I’d let myself be dazzled by some fabulous deal, or pressured into accepting an invitation for a trip away with friends. Or, because of my job, I’d take an assignment that wasn’t really a good match for my expertise and interests, just because it looked shiny and exciting.
It wasn’t a good strategy. I’m still rectifying it – Cartagena and Rome, for example, have been high on my list for years, but I haven’t been because I was distracted by something easier and more immediate. I’m not talking about being inflexible or closed-minded to ideas and invitations – but I’m fairly sure most travellers have found ourselves on a holiday where we wondered why on earth we were on this trip rather than spending our money and time on the place we’ve always wanted to see.
Given the challenges the global travel industry is facing, I’m determined to visit and support the people and places that deserve to survive and thrive. I’m also determined to prioritise the people and places that will help me survive and thrive – the past year has not been easy on any of us. As I became more concerned about climate change and the impact of tourism, I realised that the first step towards responsible travel is to become the sort of traveller I most definitely was not: an organised one. The sort of person who plans trips months in advance, with the help of maps and charts and non-crazed Tripadvisor reviews.
Dull as it sounds, the best thing we can do to build a healthier and more sustainable travel industry is not picketing Heathrow or haranguing politicians on Twitter. Nope, this particular revolution is a quieter one. And it starts with me sitting down in January with a map, my fresh new diary, some newspaper travel sections, and digging into my daydreams to think about where I really want to go this year, when to visit, how best to get there and what local businesses to spend my money on.
So far, I’m dreaming of a culinary tour of the Balkans, a cycling adventure around Bavaria and a city break in Buenos Aires. I am also considering destinations that don’t start with B…

Qld's snake issue is really a human issue

Hundreds of Queenslanders are being bitten by snakes every year, but the problem is being caused by humans crossing their paths more often.
There were 872 snake bites in Queensland last year and there have already been 30 bites in the first 22 days of 2021.
Queensland Ambulance Service statistics show that this summer about nine in 10 bites have happened in people's homes or yards.
On January 22 a nine-year-old boy was bitten by a suspected brown snake near Treachery Beach, in the NSW Myall Lakes National Park and flown by Westpac Rescue Helicopter to John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
Whitsundays snake catcher Kylee Gray says the numbers aren't as bad as they look as most people are bitten by non-lethal species like pythons or tree snakes.
"Most snake bites don't need any treatment," she told AAP.
"Also a lot of people will present to hospital with a suspected snake bite when a snake wasn't even there, and it might have been a stick scratch, or a spider bite or something."
But with hundreds of snake bites every year, it seems something is out of balance.
University of Queensland biologist Bryan Fry says people and snakes are crossing paths more due to climate change and humans encroaching on snake habitat.
Associate Professor Fry says a warming climate has extended the number of months cold-blooded snakes are active and allowed them to move more at night.
"We are definitely getting snake bites happening earlier in the year than what is typical," Prof Fry told AAP.
"Where snake bites in August for example used to be a very infrequent event, now they're not infrequent."
He said hotter and dryer conditions attract snakes to places that are shadier and have water sources, like backyard ponds, hoses or dog bowls.
Prof Fry said human housing developments are also wiping out snake habitat and driving them into urban areas.
While animals like marsupials often die or move to another area when habitat is lost, snakes can hang on longer.
Ms Gray says sightings are much more prevalent on new housing estates than established residential areas.
"When they're clearing them and building on them the snakes all get driven out and then when they need to come back to find water or breed they find themselves in unfamiliar yards and houses," she said.
Prof Fry estimates half of all bites happen when people try to move or kill snakes.
He says humans are much larger animals and snakes see us as predators.
"No, they're not going to look at us and think that's something I'm going to eat, they're going to look at us and think that's something that's going to try to eat me," Prof Fry said.
"Snakes don't really start fights, but they finish them."
The best thing a person can do if they're bitten is phone Triple Zero, bandage but not wash their bite and remain calm.
Tracey Cater has been a critical care paramedic for 25 years and has treated somewhere between 40 to 50 snake bites.
Ms Cater said most people panic after being bitten, but it's crucial to calm them down so the venom doesn't circulate in their bloodstream.
"That reassurance and calming them plays a huge part and they're always great, they settle down, calm down, lovely. And then we do our thing and get them off the hospital," she told AAP.
Ms Cater said snake bite victims are often apologetic to paramedics and think they've overreacted by calling Triple Zero.
But she said it was always best for people to be overcautious about snake bites.
"We are treating it as a worst case scenario, we always do because it's better to treat it like that and for it not be a serious, or venomous snake, than to underestimate it and it turn out to be something," she said.
Fewer people die from snake bites in Australia now than in the past.
Ms Cater puts that down to a more responsive ambulance service and more awareness about avoiding snakes and where they hide around homes.
The paramedic said more people have proper first aid training and know what to do.
"It plays a massive part and with snake bites, a lot of them can be rural too, so it can take a little bit of time to get to them, and this is where it counts, minutes count," Ms Cater said.
Ms Gray, who's been catching snakes for 14 years (sometimes 20 to 30 a week), says after calling a handler people should keep their distance and photograph the snake if it's safe to do so.
That allows handlers to identify the species and determine if removal is warranted.
She wants people not to panic about or provoke dangerous snakes, while learning to live alongside the less risky ones.

Guardiola lauds City response to Cup scare

Pep Guardiola has hailed Manchester City's attitude after their major FA Cup scare at Cheltenham.
Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus and Ferran Torres in the final 10 minutes to secure a 3-1 win and avoid embarrassment.
Alfie May's second-half opener had put Cheltenham on the brink of one of the competition's biggest upsets.
The League Two side matched the six-time winners and City struggled for a breakthrough before eventually booking a fifth-round trip to Swansea.
Guardiola said: "We learned to suffer and at the end the quality made the difference. We won the game and we are happy to win this game in this type of competition.
"We knew how tough it would be and the response from the players was magnificent.
"The chances we had a 0-0 were so clear and if we scored it would have be very different.
"They had a fantastic team, what they do they do really well. They defended well, May is an exceptional player..
"In the FA Cup this is why it's nice, everyone can beat everyone. I don't have any regret over how we were behaving and the way we played. We scored three magnificent goals.
"We reacted so well, in this competition it's not the first time a Premier League team has suffered. We suffered well."
The Robins grabbed a shock lead when the visitors failed to deal with a long throw and May stole in ahead of Benjamin Mendy to score from close range.
Foden - City's best player - volleyed in Joao Cancelo's cross with nine minutes left before Jesus and Torres wrapped up the win.
Guardiola added: "Phil is playing really well and in the right moment he scored a goal. In the bad moments, when we were losing, he brought his personality to the game. Phil has to be Phil, not be Kevin De Bruyne."
Cheltenham are chasing promotion in Sky Bet League Two and sat 72 places below City.
Boss Michael Duff said: "I thought it was an incredible performance, I'm really proud of the players. Maybe we have stepped out of the racecourse's shadow for five minutes.
"There's a tinge of disappointment but the lads will get unbelievable attention so I told them to enjoy the moment but to turn up on Monday ready to go to work because we have Oldham at home (on Tuesday)."

Australian Open: Yastremska appeal denied

Young tennis star Dayana Yastremska appears certain to miss next month's Australian Open after her appeal against a provisional doping suspension was rejected.
The world No.29 from Ukraine sparked controversy when she was filmed on a Tennis Australia charter flight to Melbourne for the Open starting on February 8 despite testing positive to a banned substance in an out-of-competition sample.
The International Tennis Federation released a statement on Sunday saying that an independent tribunal had denied 20-year-old Yastremska's application to have her provisional suspension lifted.
It noted that decision was subject to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport by Yastremska, WADA and the Ukraine anti-doping agency.
Yastremska provided her sample in November and a WADA lab in Montreal found the presence of mesterolone metabolite, an anabolic agent on its prohibited list.
She has denied having used performance-enhancing drugs, says she believes the positive test was the result of a "contamination event" and has vowed to clear her name.
"I'm astonished and under shock, particularly given that two weeks prior to this test... I tested negative at the WTA event in Linz. After this last tournament of the year, I stopped practicing to rest prior to the start of the new season," she said in a statement earlier this month.
"Only a very low concentration of mesterolone metabolite was detected in my urine. Given that low concentration and given my negative test two weeks earlier, I have received scientific advice that the result is consistent with some form of contamination event."
Yastremska has won three WTA titles and reached the fourth round at Wimbledon in 2019.
She spent two weeks in self-isolation in Dubai after testing positive for Covid-19.

Nach einem Jahr Maut-Untersuchungsausschuss sollen nun drei Sitzungen aufeinander folgen. Nach den wichtigsten Zeugen wird auch Verkehrsminister Scheuer gehört.

Nach einem Jahr Maut-Untersuchungsausschuss sollen nun drei Sitzungen aufeinander folgen. Nach den wichtigsten Zeugen wird auch Verkehrsminister Scheuer gehört.
Der Untersuchungsausschuss des Bundestags zur gescheiterten Pkw-Maut geht nach mehr als einem Jahr Arbeit auf die Zielgerade. Zwar sieht die Opposition Vorwürfe gegen Verkehrsminister Andreas Scheuer erhärtet. Der CSU-Politiker aber ist immer noch im Amt. Er weist Vorwürfe zurück.
In dieser Woche sind drei Sitzungen des U-Ausschusses geplant. Am Montag kommt unter anderem ein Abteilungsleiter aus dem Verkehrsministerium. Am Donnerstag soll der frühere Verkehrsminister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) befragt werden, der von 2013 bis 2017 im Amt war – bis ihm Scheuer folgte.
Der aktuelle Verkehrsminister soll zum Abschluss der Zeugenbefragungen Ende Januar erneut gehört werden. Danach wird der Abschlussbericht geschrieben. "Die letzten und politisch wichtigsten Befragungen folgen jetzt", sagte der Ausschussvorsitzende Udo Schiefner (SPD): "Ich bin gespannt auf diesen Endspurt."
Problematisch gelaufen ist vor allem die Vergabe
Darum geht es: Der Ausschuss soll das Verhalten des Verkehrsministeriums und seiner nachgeordneten Behörden seit Unterzeichnung des Koalitionsvertrages zwischen CDU/CSU und SPD 2013 im Zusammenhang mit der Vorbereitung und Einführung der später gescheiterten Pkw-Maut aufklären. Es geht vor allem um das Vergabeverfahren, die spätere Kündigung der Verträge zur Erhebung und Kontrolle und die daraus resultierenden Folgen.
Es handelt sich also nicht um einen Untersuchungsausschuss gegen Scheuer. Auch deswegen hatte Schiefner zu Beginn der Arbeit im Dezember 2019 davor gewarnt, das Gremium zu einer "politischen Show-Bühne" zu machen. Dennoch stand die Rolle Scheuers im Vordergrund – und das offenkundige Ziel der Opposition, seinen Rücktritt zu erreichen. Weswegen der CSU-Abgeordnete Michael Frieser im Bundestag schimpfte, die Opposition wolle nur Zirkus und nicht die Suche nach der Wahrheit.
"Bisher hat der Ausschuss allerdings keine überraschenden Erkenntnisse gewonnen", sagte Unions-Obmann Ulrich Lange (CSU). "Vorwürfe der Opposition haben sich nicht bestätigt."
Die Grünen befürchten "größtmögliche Schadenssumme"
Das sieht die Opposition völlig anders. Grünen-Fraktionsvize Oliver Krischer sagte, um die Maut umzusetzen, habe Scheuer systematisch und bewusst Haushalts- und Vergaberecht gebrochen – und Verträge zur Umsetzung der Pkw-Maut völlig übereilt und ohne genauere Kenntnis der Schadenssumme gekündigt. "Der Effekt: Die größtmögliche Schadenssumme kann entstehen."
FDP-Obmann Christian Jung sprach von einer Reihe "offenkundiger Verstöße" nicht nur gegen Europarecht, sondern ebenso gegen Haushalts- und Vergaberecht. Deswegen könnte am Ende der Bewertung eine Feststellung zwischen Organisationsverschulden, fehlenden Kontrollmechanismen und Verantwortungsmissbrauch stehen. Der Linke-Obmann Jörg Cezanne meinte: "Im Rahmen der bisherigen Aufarbeitung des Mautdesasters wurde deutlich, dass die Minister Dobrindt und Scheuer die CSU-Ausländermaut ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste durchsetzen wollten."
Scheuer sagt: "Habe ein Gesetz umgesetzt"
Scheuer selbst warf der Opposition vor, ihr Ziel sei keine sachliche Aufarbeitung. Er wies im Deutschlandfunk erneut darauf hin, er habe als Minister ein Gesetz umgesetzt: "Nicht mehr und nicht weniger."
Die erste Befragung des Ministers im vergangenen Oktober war bisher der Höhepunkt des Maut-Ausschusses. Am Ende aber stand Aussage gegen Aussage. Denn Scheuer und Manager der einstigen Betreiberfirmen widersprachen sich in zentralen Darstellungen.
Gab es das Angebot einer Verschiebung?
Die Manager hatten ausgesagt, sie hätten Scheuer im Herbst 2018 angeboten, mit dem Abschluss des Maut-Betreibervertrags zu warten, bis der Europäische Gerichtshof (EuGH) entscheidet – auch weil zwischen dem Angebot der Firmen und den eingeplanten Haushaltsmitteln ein großes Loch klaffte. Scheuer habe das aber abgelehnt. Der Minister dagegen sagte aus: Ein Angebot der Betreiber zu einer Verschiebung eines Vertragsschlusses bis zu einem EuGH-Urteil habe es nach seiner Erinnerung nicht gegeben.
Ein Hauptvorwurf der Opposition ist, dass Scheuer die Maut-Verträge schloss, bevor Rechtssicherheit bestand. Der EuGH kippte die Maut im Juni 2019, weil sie Fahrer aus dem Ausland benachteilige. Direkt nach dem Urteil kündigte der Bund dann die Verträge, und die Betreiber fordern inzwischen hohe Entschädigungen – zu Lasten der Steuerzahler. Die vorgesehenen Betreiber fordern 560 Millionen Euro Schadenersatz, es läuft ein Schiedsverfahren.
Keine Falschaussage nachzuweisen
Die Opposition zweifelte die Glaubwürdigkeit des Ministers an – scheiterte aber mit der Forderung, Scheuer und Manager zeitgleich erneut zu befragen. Dagegen stimmte neben der Union auch SPD. Die SPD spielt überhaupt eine nicht unwesentliche Rolle bei der Frage, warum Scheuer noch im Amt ist. Nach seinem Auftritt im Ausschuss im Oktober sagte die SPD-Obfrau Kirsten Lühmann, zwar habe die Befragung nicht die Klarheit erbracht, die man sich erhofft habe – aber Scheuer sei auch keine Falschaussage nachzuweisen.
Die SPD senkte also nicht den Daumen und forderte offen den Rücktritt des Ministers. Das hätte den Koalitionspartner in Bedrängnis bringen können. Innerhalb der CSU war und ist Scheuer durchaus nicht unumstritten. Vor einem Jahr zeigte sich CSU-Chef Markus Söder offen für eine Kabinettsumbildung – es schien, als wackle vor allem der Stuhl Scheuers. Dann aber kam die Corona-Krise.
Rettung durch die Covid-19-Pandemie?
Und Scheuer ist noch im Amt. Zwar hat er durchaus etwas auf der Habenseite in seiner Amtszeit – zum Beispiel deutlich mehr Geld für die Schiene oder eine Einigung unter deutscher EU-Ratspräsidentschaft auf neue Maut-Regeln für Lastwagen. Dazu kommt aber neben der Pkw-Maut etwa der Schlamassel um den neuen Bußgeldkatalog, der wegen eines Formfehlers in der Straßenverkehrsordnung immer noch außer Vollzug ist. Krischer sagte, Scheuers Verfehlungen bei der Maut reichten für mindestens drei Rücktritte. Jung meinte: Nur die Corona-Krise habe Scheuer vor einem Rausschmiss gerettet.

NICOLA STURGEON has been pestering President of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen and other Brussels officials with letters and emails in a desperate attempt to get Scotland to rejoin the EU, leaked correspondence seen by Express.co.uk shows.

NICOLA STURGEON has been pestering President of the European Commission (EC) Ursula von der Leyen and other Brussels officials with letters and emails in a desperate attempt to get Scotland to rejoin the EU, leaked correspondence seen by Express.co.uk shows.
About 25 letters and emails released under Freedom of Information laws between January and November last year reveal SNP ministers have been holding discussions with EU officials making the case for Scotland to rejoin the EU. But Ms von Der Leyen refused Ms Sturgeon's apparent request for a role in the negotiations.
In a letter obtained by Express.co.uk, the EC chief said: “As you are aware, the European Commission will only negotiate with the Government of the United Kingdom.
“I understand that you are in contact with Michel Barnier… he will be happy to meet you again.”
Ms Sturgeon has had at least two sets of talks with Mr Barnier this year, most recently in August.
Ahead of a meeting between them in February, her team emailed to ask if it would be “possible for a photograph to be taken of Monsieur Barnier and the First Minister after their meeting for social media purposes”.
The First Minister’s letter appears to have been part of an orchestrated campaign to influence the Commission with roughly 25 emails and letters exchanged between the Scottish Government and EU officials.
Disgraced former Finance Secretary Derek Mackay, Finance Minister Kate Forbes and Migration Minister Ben Macpherson all wrote to incoming EC members.
The letters and emails were released by the Scottish Government under Freedom of Information laws between January and November this year.
Richard Leonard, Scottish Labour leader, told Express.co.uk: “What this reveals is a First Minister more interested in photo opportunities and pretending to be the head of an independent state, when what the country needs is someone prepared to use the powers of devolution to save jobs, build houses, invest in our schools and protect our NHS.”

Dean Lockhart MSP, the Scottish Conservative constitution spokesman, added: “As the UK Government continues to do everything it can to secure a deal, it looks like the SNP has been constantly trying to interfere in the negotiations.
“At every point, the SNP have shown they are not interested in trying to get a deal that is good for Scotland and the whole UK.
“The EU has made it perfectly clear.
“It is the UK Government they are dealing with and the SNP should respect that.”

The First Minister recently pleaded with Eurocrats claiming Scotland was being dragged out of the EU against its will.
Ms Sturgeon made the plea in a desperate message sent to newspapers across the continent including The Irish Times and Italian Newspaper Le Corriere.
She said she hoped Scotland could “join you again soon as an equal partner as we face the opportunities and challenges of the future together”.
Ms Sturgeon also reiterated the SNP's call for an independent Scotland to join the EU.
In the column, Ms Sturgeon said: “For too long, successive UK governments have taken Scotland in the wrong direction, culminating in Brexit and the introduction of legislation that had threatened to break international law, and which still undermines the Scottish parliament.
"It’s no wonder so many people in Scotland have had enough.
“We are committed to a legal, constitutional route to becoming an independent state.”
Ms Sturgeon also claimed they had been locked out of the talks by the UK Government, saying: “We never sat at the negotiating table, which is very frustrating.”
Commenting on the correspondence, a spokesman for Scotland’s Constitution Secretary Michael Russell, said: “The Scottish Government will always stand up for Scotland’s interests, and we make no apology for doing so.
“The Tories have dragged Scotland out of the EU against our democratic will, and it is beyond belief that in the midst of a pandemic and recession Boris Johnson is determined to force on Scotland a low-deal, or even a catastrophic No-deal, Brexit outcome.
“It is little wonder that, as shown in poll after poll, independence is becoming the settled will of the people of Scotland.”

Das Verkehrsministerium lässt wissen, dass die neu aufgelegte Förderung zum Kauf eines neuen Lkw zum Einbau eines Abbiegeassistenten verpflichtet.
Die neue Lkw-Abwrackprämie verpflichtet zum Einbau eines Abbiegeassistenten. Bundesverkehrsminister Andreas Scheuer (CSU) erklärte, ab sofort unterstütze die Bundesregierung die Anschaffung fabrikneuer Lastwagen mit Abbiegeassistent, welche die Anforderungen der aktuellen Abgasstufe Euro VI erfüllten, mit bis zu 15.000 Euro – wenn gleichzeitig ein alter Lkw der Abgasstufen Euro III, IV oder V verschrottet werde.
Ziel sei es, nachhaltig die CO2-Emissionen der Nutzfahrzeugflotte zu senken, Arbeitsplätze dauerhaft zu erhalten und der Wirtschaft einen spürbaren Impuls zu verleihen, erklärte Scheuer. "Überdies erhöhen wir mit der neuen Förderrichtlinie auch die Verkehrssicherheit, da eine Förderung ausdrücklich an die Installation eines Abbiegeassistenzsystems geknüpft wird."
Subvention der Industrie mit dem Klima-Argument
Die Bundesregierung hatte im November während eines Spitzentreffens mit der Wirtschaft weitere milliardenschwere Hilfen angekündigt, um die deutsche Autoindustrie durch die Corona-Krise zu tragen und den Wandel zu klimaschonenderen Fahrzeugen zu beschleunigen. Dazu gehörte, dass eine neue Lkw-Abwrackprämie alte Nutzfahrzeuge von der Straße holen und den Verkauf neuerer Modelle ankurbeln soll. Geplant sind dafür nach früheren Angaben Zuschüsse von insgesamt eine Milliarde Euro.
Pflicht zum Abbiegeassistenten fehlt bis heute
In der Förderrichtlinie heißt es: "Das Neufahrzeug muss über ein Abbiegeassistenzsystem (AAS) verfügen." Wenn meist erhöht sitzende Lkw-Fahrer Radler oder Fußgänger im toten Winkel übersehen, die sich neben ihrem Fahrzeug befinden, kommt es immer wieder zu schweren Unfällen. Abbiegeassistenten können Warnsignale aussenden oder automatisch bremsen. Eine verpflichtende Einführung dieser technischen Systeme gibt es bislang nicht.

SCOTS could stay locked down until March as Nicola Sturgeon warned Scotland faced a grim coronavirus deaths milestone.

SCOTS could stay locked down until March as Nicola Sturgeon warned Scotland faced a grim coronavirus deaths milestone.
The First Minister said it was very “very unlikely” current Covid curbs would be lifted at the end of the month. Nicola Sturgeon’s Cabinet had discussions throughout Tuesday over whether to introduce stricter laws and the First Minister is due to update Holyrood on Wednesday.
It comes as health boards across Scotland warned the need for hospital beds was increasing at a rapid rate with no signs cases were coming down.
NHS Lanarkshire is currently treating 288 people for COVID-19, 16 of whom are currently in ICU and it’s boss warned patient number could double.
Judith Park, director of acute services for NHS Lanarkshire, said: "The current pandemic has had an additional impact on our services.
"The hospitals are full and the numbers of Covid-19 admissions are increasing.
“We currently have nearly 300 patients being treated for Covid-19 in our hospitals, with additional patients currently waiting on test results.
“However, we are anticipating this number to double within a week, putting our hospitals under severe pressure.”
It came as food and drink bosses issued an eleventh-hour plea for takeaways to be allowed to stay open.
They said a crackdown would remove one of the “few chinks of light” for businesses which have seen trade decimated by the pandemic.
Parts of the new measures are expected to see Food to go, click-and-collect services, building sites and factories face closure.
Speaking at yesterday’s COVID-19 briefing, Ms Sturgeon said: “We will review the current lockdown which is in place until at least the end of January. We haven’t completed that yet when we do I will set that out.
READ MORE: Sturgeon 'stupid' SNP sparks fury as report exposes COVID tracing
“I wouldn’t want to raise expectations that we will lift all of these restrictions at the end of January, I think it is very unlikely we will have a wholesale lifting of these restrictions and there may not even be any lifting of these restrictions as soon as the end of January.
“We will have to consider all of that carefully and set that out in due course.”
Asking Scots to abide by the measures, she added: “I feel your pain. We’re all thoroughly scunnered with this.
“This is something we’ve got to do to keep ourselves safe, to keep the people we love safe.
“I cannot stand here right now and give a date as to when these restrictions will be lifted.

“It would be trying to just tell people when they want to hear it as opposed to rooting my message in reality.”
A Scottish Government source added: “all options were on the table” in terms of extending lockdown measures.
They added to Express.co.uk: “The current situation is of serious concern right now at all levels.”
Health Secretary Jeane Freeman also refused to rule out the prospect of a three-month lockdown after government adviser Professor Devi Sridhar said current curbs should be extended for such a period.
One of Scotland's top medical advisers also said it is "not appropriate" for people to meet for coffee.
Professor Jason Leitch, Scotland’s National Clinical Director, said: "If you're arranging to meet someone for coffee, that's not appropriate for where we are in the pandemic.
"That's not where we are just now. I'm really, really sorry but you should only leave the house for essential reasons."
Scottish Government figures revealed that the number of deaths among those who tested positive for Covid in the previous 28 days increased by 54, to 5,023.
The total number of cases that were reported yesterday was 17,517, and this represented 12 percent of all tests reported.
The number of patients in hospital with the virus increased by 53, to 1,717, while those in intensive care increased by seven, to 133.
However, food business chiefs have expressed anger at the potential for take-aways to be closed in an angry letter to Scottish ministers.
The group, led by Scottish the Scottish Retail Consortium claimed they had not seen “any data or public health evidence as to why takeaway services are a risk”.
They added: “As such, forced closure seems somewhat arbitrary and marginal in terms of contributing to the suppression of the virus – not least as the new ‘stay at home’ order has just come into effect and is substantially reducing footfall.
“It’s very difficult for businesses to plan in any sense when government announcements emerge without warning, providing a metaphorical damoclean sword above any business trading right now.”
Maurice Golden MSP, Scottish Tories Economy Spokesperson, said: “Businesses have had to suffer enough throughout this pandemic without the SNP Government bringing in additional draconian rules simply on a whim rather than through proper and certified data.
“There is also the very real risk that any changes to the rules could see a rapid surge in people attending supermarkets which would bring new challenges.
“If proof can be provided that limiting these services can help save lives, then the SNP Government will need to offer extra funding to support the businesses hit and ensure it is delivered in an efficient fashion.”

Mit einer kostenlosen App lassen sich iPhones und iPads um eine kommandozeilenbasierte Alpine-Linux-Emulation erweitern. Wir zeigen, wie das praktisch geht.
Bisher ließ sich als Linux-Entwickler mit einem iPad wenig anfangen. Code-Editoren existierten durchaus, aber ausprobieren konnte man die geschriebenen Programme nicht. Es gab weder Compiler noch eine Webserver-App oder eine Node.js-App für lokale Experimente. Viele versuchten, sich mit einem gemieteten Server zu behelfen: auf dem iPad tippen und so mit einer SSH-App den Mietserver steuern. Doch schon im ICE scheiterte diese gute Idee an Unterbrechungen in der Internetanbindung.
Mit der kostenlosen App iSH Shell ändert sich das. Um loszulegen, benötigen Sie ein iOS-Gerät mit mindestens iOS 11. In-App-Käufe brauchen Sie nicht zu befürchten. Die Anwendung läuft auf iPad und iPhone; auf den Telefonen bereitet die Emulation wegen der kleineren Bildschirme aber nur wenig Spaß.
Viel Schnickschnack gibt es nicht. Nach dem Start der App landen Sie sofort auf der Kommandozeile; das Linux muss nicht erst minutenlang booten. Ähnlich wie bei Microsofts Windows-Subsystem for Linux (WSL) oder Wine fährt iSH keine virtuelle Maschine hoch, sondern emuliert Systemaufrufe von Linux-Anwendungen.

SARAH FERGUSON is to release a romantic novel drawing upon personal experiences from her own life.

SARAH FERGUSON is to release a romantic novel drawing upon personal experiences from her own life.
The Duchess of York has signed a book deal with British publisher Mills & Boon – which has engrossed readers with tales of love for more than 100 years. The historical book is called “Her Heart For A Compass” and is set for release this summer. Fergie, 61, says she "drew on many parallels from my life" when writing her debut novel.
Fergie has been a pivotal figure in the Royal Family for more than four centuries after marrying Prince Andrew in 1986.
The couple would divorce 10 years later, but remain good friends and live together at Royal Lodge, Windsor.
Fergie was never one for abiding by the rule book and once confessed: "I was hopeless from the start... they could never make me the perfect princess."
The royal was inspired to write the novel after researching her family history and was struck by her great-great-aunt Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas Scott – as Margaret is her middle name.
In her research Fergie found the parents of Lady Margaret were “close friends” with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
But, she was unable to discover enough detail about Lady Margaret’s early life and that is when she says “her imagination took over” and the fictional account of her life and love story was born.
Fergie said: “It all started with researching my ancestry. Digging into the history of the Montagu-Douglas Scotts, I first came across Lady Margaret, who intrigued me because she shared one of my given names.
“But although her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch were close friends with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, I was unable to discover much about my namesake’s early life, and so was born the idea which became Her Heart for a Compass.
“And the fascinating journey of a woman, born into the higher echelons of society, who desires to break the mold, follow her internal compass (her heart) and discover her raison d’être – and falling in love along the way.”
Fergie is an accomplished writer and has put pen to paper on numerous children's books, including the Little Red and Budgie the Little Helicopter series.
She was also an executive producer of the 2009 historical film The Young Victoria – which went on to receive three Academy Award Nominations and two BAFTAs.
Fergie added: “I have long held a passion for historical research and telling the stories of strong women in history through film and television.

Deliveroo appoints Next's Wolfson as a non-executive as it gears up for float

Deliveroo has drafted in the Next boss, Simon Wolfson, as a non-executive director in a significant coup before the takeaway delivery company’s stock exchange listing.
It is the first non-executive role that Wolfson, the FTSE 100’s longest-serving chief executive, has taken. It follows this weekend’s confirmation of Deliveroo’s flotation plans and a $180m (£132m) injection from existing shareholders.
Will Shu, Deliveroo’s founder and chief executive, said Wolfson would bring “great knowledge and insight to the company and help us in our mission to become the definitive food company”.
Deliveroo is among the internet companies to benefit from big pandemic-related shifts in consumer spending, with the latest round of investor funding valuing the company at more than $7bn. Its shareholders include Amazon, which owns a 16% stake.
Wolfson, a scion of a well-known retail family, has been running Next since 2001. He began his role at Deliveroo this week. Former Premier League acting chair Claudia Arney became the company’s first board chair in November.
Wolfson, 53, who is also a Conservative peer, said Deliveroo was an “exciting, innovative and fast-growing company that, like Next, relies on advanced technology to deliver a market-leading proposition”.
Next has fared better than many of its high street rivals during the pandemic benefiting from years of investment in its home shopping arm as sales were forced online when stores were closed.
Deliveroo said it would use the new money to expand its network of delivery-only kitchen sites – called “dark kitchens” – grocery delivery and subscription services, as well as allowing more restaurants to take orders via their own websites.
Shu, a former investment banker, launched Deliveroo from his London flat in 2013. Today the company works with 140,000 restaurants and 110,000 riders in more than 800 towns and cities around the world.
Speaking in December, Shu said Covid-19 had accelerated consumer adoption of food delivery services by about two to three years, with order volumes in the UK and Ireland now running at double 2019 levels. “We’ve demonstrated our model is profitable,” he said, adding that the previously loss-making company had been “profitable at the operating level for over six months now”.

Logan Paul has been warned he will receive an “ass whoopin’” when he takes on Floyd Mayweather, with the YouTube star set for his second professional boxing fight
Logan Paul has been warned over his exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather, with UFC president Dana White predicting the fight will be an “ass whoopin’”.
Paul is set to take on the former world champion in just his second professional bout, having lost to fellow YouTuber KSI in his first outing.
The American youngster has the significant reach, weight and height advantage on Mayweather, but is still expected to lose in spectacular style.
And White believes the fight will be completely one-sided, and warned it will be like watching a grown man beat up a child.
Speaking to TMZ, the UFC chief didn't hold back with his thoughts on the fight.
He said: “Listen, these kids want to make some money, they do what they’ve got to do and say what they’ve got to say.
This is going to be such a one-sided, ridiculous ass whoopin’, it’s not even going to be funny.
“It’s going to be bad,” he said.
“I don’t dislike either of these kids, I don’t know these kids, I don’t dislike them. They’re doing their thing, good for them.
“But if Floyd Mayweather really shows up and fights this kid, it’s going to be an ass whoopin’ like nobody has ever seen before. Logan is going to find out what speed is.
“Speed is power, when you get hit with s**t that you don’t even see coming, when a guy like Floyd Mayweather starts putting it on you, it won’t be a fight.
“It’s going to be the worst ass whoopin’ you’ve ever seen.
“Take the size thing and you’ll see what a grown man can do to his kid.”

PRINCE ANDREW'S ex-wife Sarah Ferguson has penned her first novel. Here is when the Duchess of York's new book is due out.
Sarah Ferguson, 60, has already published several children's books but the Duchess of York has now turned her hand to writing for adults and penned a debut novel. Fergie's first book for adults is titled "Her Heart for a Compass" and will be published by Mills & Boon later this year.
Her Heart for a Compass is due to be published by Mills & Boon on August 3, 2021.
The new book draws on Fergie's aristocrat roots and is a fictional portrayal of her great-great-aunt Lady Margaret Montagu Douglas.

Speaking about the book, the Duchess said: "It all started with researching my ancestry.
"Digging into the history of the Montagu-Douglas Scotts, I first came across Lady Margaret, who intrigued me because she shared one of my given names.
"But although her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch, were close friends with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, I was unable to discover much about my namesake’s early life, and so was born the idea which became Her Hear for a Compass.
"With real historical events and facts to hand, my imagination took over."
The Duchess added: "I invented a history for her that incorporated real people and events, including some of my other ancestors.
"I created a friendship between my heroine and Princess Louise, Queen Victoria’s sixth child, and I drew on many parallels from my life for Lady Margaret’s journey.
"I have long held a passion for historical research and telling the stories of strong women in history through film and television.
"I am proud to bring my personal brand of historical fiction to the publishing world."

While Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson divorced in 1996 they remained good friends and still live together.
The pair are based at Andrew's royal residence the Royal Lodge in Great Windsor Park.
During lockdown, Fergie has shared regular videos of herself reading children's books on Instagram.
Sarah and Andrew's youngest daughter Princess Eugenie, 30, is currently expecting her first child with husband Jack Brooksbank.
The couple's royal baby is expected any day as last autumn they announced their child was due in "early 2021."
Sarah and Andrew are both said to be delighted by Eugenie's baby news and have shared their excitement at the prospect of becoming grandparents.
A Palace statement confirming Eugenie's pregnancy last year read: “Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank are very pleased to announce that they are expecting a baby in early 2021.
“The Duke of York and Sarah, Duchess of York, Mr and Mrs George Brooksbank, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are delighted with the news."
Eugenie and Jack are understood to be spending the current lockdown at the Royal Lodge with Fergie and Prince Andrew.

Statue of fossil hunter Mary Anning to be erected after campaign

A statue to Mary Anning, a fossil hunter and palaeontologist once “lost to history” but now considered a significant female force in science, is finally to be erected after a crowdfunding campaign by a teenage girl.
Evie Swire, 13, was nine years old when she first heard of Anning, who was born into a humble family in 1799 near Evie’s Lyme Regis home in Dorset. The schoolgirl was outraged to discover there was no statue.
Now, despite setbacks due to the coronavirus pandemic, Evie’s campaign has raised £70,000 – enough to commission the statue. It is hoped it can be unveiled in Lyme Regis in May 2022 on the anniversary of Anning’s birthday.
Anning grew up hunting for fossils in the nearby cliffs to sell to supplement her family’s meagre income. She was responsible for many pioneering finds, including one of the first ichthyosaurus skeletons, and became immensely knowledgable in the then emerging field of palaeontology.
But her finds were often credited to the male collectors to whom she sold her fossils. Her disappointment and frustration was evident in one surviving letter in which she wrote: “The world has used me so unkindly, I fear it has made me suspicious of everyone.” She died aged 47.
Evie launched the “Mary Anning Rocks” campaign with her mother, Anya Pearson. Its patrons include Sir David Attenborough, the academic and broadcaster Prof Alice Roberts and the novelist Tracy Chevalier. The actor Kate Winslet, who stars in Ammonite, a film about Anning, has also pledged support.
The sculptor Denise Dutton, whose recent works have included the Land Girls monument at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, and the suffragette Annie Kenney in Oldham, has been commissioned.
Drawing inspiration from designs submitted by local schoolchildren in Lyme Regis, she has produced preliminary sketches that show Anning striding with her dog, Tray.
“I think it looks really good. It just looks like her from the one picture that we have of her,” said Evie.
Even though Anning was excluded from organisations such as the Geologists’ Association, “it didn’t stop her. She still carried on, even when it became really hard for her,” Evie added. “She was a very important person, but she was lost in history.”
Evie’s mother said that despite the pandemic, which delayed the launch of the crowdfunder, £70,000 of the £100,000 target had been raised, enough to go ahead with the statue. The remaining £30,000, which they will continue to fundraise for, is to cover installation and legal costs.
The statue would be placed somewhere along the town’s sea defence wall, “so she will be looking out towards Black Ven where she did all her fossil hunting”, Pearson said.
“She’s been created so she’s interactive, so there’s no pedestal or podium. She’s on the floor with everyone, so people can put fossils in her basket. Lots of children leave fossils at her grave. So the idea is we put her out on the walk down to the fossil beach and children will start putting fossils into her little basket.”
The campaign has 30,000 followers across social media. “We call them the Anning army, and it really does feel like an army of people who are all equally up in arms that this absolutely incredible woman – working-class, self-educated – has been woefully forgotten,” said Pearson.
Anning is now part of the national curriculum and many children have donated Christmas and pocket money, she added.
Dutton said Anning was “absolutely fascinating” as a subject. Only one painting of her exists, where she is in her Sunday best.
“She was never credited for her discoveries. She sold specimens to male scientists who claimed credit,” said Dutton. She is meticulously researching what Anning would have worn to go fossil hunting and is taking advice from the V&A Museum in London.
What does she want the statue to convey? “Determination, because among everything else, the determination that she had to carry on, to go out – and she went out at the end of storms when it was very dangerous – so there must have been a pig-headedness about her to do that. So, that excitement and that determination,” said Dutton.

Nach umfassender Vorab-Berichterstattung geht die CES 2021 offiziell los. Wir haben Daten und Links zu den wichtigsten Events zusammengefasst.
Die Konsumentenelektronikmesse CES 2021 öffnet am heutigen 11. Januar ihre virtuellen Pforten – dieses Jahr aufgrund der Coronavirus-Pandemie rein virtuell in Form von (Live-)Streams. Einige Hersteller haben ihre Produktneuheiten bereits im Vorfeld angekündigt; jetzt folgen die sogenannten Keynotes, die Interessierte dank YouTube und Co. selbst mitverfolgen können.
Für PC-Nutzer und -Spieler dürften die Streams von AMD, Intel und Nvidia am interessantesten sein, die den heutigen Montag und Dienstag stattfinden. Von den Events werden wir berichten, sodass Sie alle Neuigkeiten bei Gelegenheit nachlesen können.
Intel
Intels Leiter der Client-Sparte, Gregory Bryant, spricht am 11. Januar 2021 um 22 Uhr deutscher Zeit unter anderem über Desktop- und Notebook-Prozessoren (Stichwort: Rocket Lake und Tiger Lake). Vorher, ab 19 Uhr, rückt Intel mit dem Tochterunternehmen Mobileye das Themenfeld Automotive in den Fokus. Die Keynotes bettet Intel zum Start auf der eigenen Newsroom-Webseite ein.
AMD
Am Dienstagnachmittag des 12. Januars um 17 Uhr folgt AMDs Keynote mit Firmenchefin Lisa Su. Interessenten schalten über YouTube ein. Erwartet wird eine Ankündigung zu AMDs kommenden Mobilprozessoren Ryzen 5000U und Ryzen 5000H mit Zen-3-Architektur alias Cezanne. Zudem könnte es einen ersten Ausblick auf die Mittelklasse-Grafikkarten Radeon RX 6700 geben.
Nvidia
Direkt im Anschluss, also am 12. Januar um 18 Uhr deutscher Zeit, startet Nvidias Stream mit CEO Jensen Huang, ebenfalls über YouTube. Das Event läuft unter dem Motto "Game On" und dürfte die mobile Grafikchipserie GeForce RTX 3000 für Notebooks in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Einträge in Benchmark-Datenbanken haben schon einen Ausblick auf die mobile GeForce RTX 3080 und GeForce RTX 3070 gegeben.
LG, Microsoft, Samsung und Sony
Über die nächsten Tage gestreut laufen noch einige weitere Streams, die aufgrund der zahlreichen Vorabankündigung aber nur bedingt spannend ausfallen dürften. LGs Keynote etwa startet bereits am heutigen 11. Januar um 14 Uhr. Meldungen zu LGs 2021er-Fernsehern, darunter Smart-TVs mit Mini-LEDs und auf Knopfdruck biegbare OLED-Gaming-Displays, sowie den besonders leichten Gram-Notebooks sind bereits online.
Um 15 Uhr folgt eine Veranstaltung von Samsungs Fernsehersparte – auch hier gab es eine Vorabankündigung. Am Donnerstag, dem 14. Januar, findet separat ein "Galaxy Unpacked"-Event statt, in dem Samsung die nächste Smartphone-Generation Galaxy S21 vorstellen dürfte.
Sonys Keynote startet in der heutigen Nacht des 11. Januars um 23 Uhr. Die Smart-TVs fürs Jahr 2021 hat Sony schon vorab vorgestellt. Große Neuigkeiten im Gaming-Umfeld sind nicht zu erwarten, da die Playstation-5-Konsole gerade erst erschienen ist. Microsoft ist am Nachmittag des 13. Januars um 15 Uhr dran, üblicherweise mit einem Ausblick auf Surface-Geräte.

Harry Hesketh made a joke while playing against 14-year-old sensation Anders Vejrgang during a FUT Champions match live on Twitch in December and EA Sports have now banned the YouTube star
Harry Hesketh has announced his retirement from eSports after the professional FIFA player was banned by EA Sports.
Hesketh was banned by EA for the Europe Regional Qualifier on February 6 after making a crude joke while playing against 14-year-old sensation Anders Vejrgang.
Hesketh took on Vejrgang in a FUT Champions match live on Twitch in December, making an apparent mum joke.
Hesketh made a reference to his opponent’s mother when he said: “His fingers might be quick, but mine are longer."
Hesketh, 25, had acknowledged it was "a distasteful comment" in a later video as he has 700,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Though EA Sports had already made their decision and banned him, leading Hesketh to hang up his controller.
The former Hashtag United player said: "It's in EA's power to ban you for anything. They can do what they want, when they want. It isn't a defence, it isn't me trying to get it overturned.
"I got dealt the same severity of ban for a mom joke as racism. That's just a stone cold fact.
“If this is the precedent you're setting for pro players, in the next 24 hours, I could go out and get every single person that's ever competed in FIFA on the world stage banned.
"No hate towards Anders. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Please don't do this. A revelation came to me after the stream.
“[EA] went to Anders and said 'do you want an inquest into this stuff that happened on stream' and they said no, because nothing happened.
"The thing with EA that disheartens me a bit is the personal relationships. I get along with everyone I've met.
“I have zero personal vendettas against anyone I've met. I don't know where it's gone wrong, but it's gone wrong somewhere.
"I'm announcing my retirement from EA competitive events, effective immediately.
"This is the biggest risk of my life - if I'm not competing, I'm not competing with a team, so I'm deleting a three-year contract there."

Eines Abends wurde Thomas Gaethje gefragt, ob er nicht mal Elvis singen könne – 43 Stunden lang. Er fragte sich, ob das möglich sei, so lange zu singen, ohne einzuschlafen. Dann sagte er: »Klar, mach ich.«
Damals, in seiner Welt, so erinnert sich Thomas Gaethje, gab es Elvis eigentlich nur viermal. Vier bekannte Elvis-Darsteller, vier Profis in Europa. Es habe den norwegischen Elvis gegeben, Kjell Henning Bjørnestad hieß der, den Hamburger Elvis, den Eifel-Elvis und eben ihn, den roten Elvis von der Westküste, Curtis genannt. Unbestritten der beste Elvis Schleswig-Holsteins. Alle hätten voneinander gewusst, aber getroffen hätten sie sich nie, wozu auch? Sie alle wurden als Elvis-Imitatoren gebucht, sie alle sangen seine Lieder.
Jailhouse Rock, Love Me Tender, In the Ghetto.
Oldie-Abende, Jugendzentren, wenn man Glück hatte, auch mal ein Auftritt im lokalen Radio.
Doch eines Abends vor 16 Jahren bekam Gaethje einen Anruf vom Offenen Kanal Westküste, so erzählt er es am Telefon, der sein Leben verändern sollte.
Der Mann vom Radio habe gefragt, ob er nicht mal Elvis singen könne. Kein Problem, habe Gaethje geantwortet. Er könne einen ganzen Abend lang Elvis singen. Es ginge nicht um einen Abend, sagte der Mann am anderen Ende der Leitung, es ginge um den Weltrekord, 43 Stunden, so viel Elvis, wie noch kein Elvis auf der Welt gesungen habe, selbst Elvis nicht. It's Now or Never. Gaethje fragte sich, ob das möglich sei, so lange zu singen, ohne einzuschlafen. Was wäre, wenn er mal aufs Klo müsste? Er sagte: »Klar, mach ich.«

EXCLUSIVE: The Hammers are desperate to sign a new striker and Edouard ticks all the boxes - but he has his sights on a move to the likes of Arsenal or Tottenham
West Ham will push to sign £35million-rated Odsonne Edouard from Celtic before the end of the transfer window.
Sebastien Haller was offloaded to Ajax for around £20m earlier this month.
And with the flop forward now off the books, David Moyes is desperate to source a suitable replacement.
Edouard, a £10m buy from PSG in 2018, has been a revelation at Celtic Park with 74 goals in 151 games.
Moyes has had the Frenchman watched on several occasions and believes he can flourish south of the border.
Edouard is desperate to test himself in the Premier League and fancies a move to London.
However, it's understood that the 23-year-old would ideally like to join an established top-six side.
Tottenham and Arsenal are also admirers, but wouldn't be prepared to consider a swoop until the summer.
Edouard has entered the final 18 months of his contract and the Glasgow giants are ready to cash in now if the price is right.

Der AfD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Thomas Seitz hat eine schwere Covid-19-Erkrankung überstanden. Doch auch nach seinem langen Aufenthalt auf der Intensivstation hält er an der Verharmlosung der Coronakrise fest.
Der schwer an Covid-19 erkrankte AfD-Bundestagsabgeordnete Thomas Seitz hat seine Einstellung zur Corona-Pandemie auch nach wochenlanger Behandlung auf der Intensivstation nicht grundlegend geändert. »Ich danke von Herzen allen Ärzten und Klinikmitarbeitern, die mit ihrer hoch qualifizierten Arbeit mein Überleben trotz schlechter Prognose ermöglicht haben«, teilte der 53-Jährige über sein Büro mit. Er sei nun »innerlich zerrissen«, da er zwar einerseits dankbar sei für eine »zweite Lebenschance«, andererseits aber der Auffassung sei, »dass im vergangenen Jahr durch die Politik der Bundesregierung rund 90 Prozent der Ressourcen für die Zukunft unserer Kinder durchgebracht wurden«.
Seitz sei unter den Mitgliedern der AfD-Fraktion, bei denen eine Corona-Infektion nachgewiesen worden sei, der Einzige, bei dem die Infektion einen so schweren Verlauf genommen habe, sagte Fraktionssprecher Marcus Schmidt am Samstag auf Anfrage. Die AfD hatte Ende November Kritik auf sich gezogen, weil sich trotz der Pandemie im nordrhein-westfälischen Kalkar Hunderte von Delegierten zu einem Bundesparteitag versammelt hatten. Das Ordnungsamt hatte den Teilnehmern der Veranstaltung auferlegt, auch am Sitzplatz Maske zu tragen. Eine Klage der Partei gegen diese Vorschrift war vor Gericht gescheitert.
Seitz war unter anderem bei einer Bundestagssitzung im November aufgefallen, als er mit einer offenkundig löchrigen Maske zum Rednerpult kam. Vizepräsidentin Claudia Roth (Grüne) untersagte ihm damals, damit zu seinem Platz zurückzugehen. Sie reichte ihm eine frische FFP2-Maske. Als Seitz sich über den »Maulkorb« beschwerte, drohte ihm Roth ein Ordnungsgeld an. Bei einer Fraktionssitzung zu Beginn der Pandemie war Seitz dagegen einer der wenigen AfD-Abgeordneten gewesen, der einen Mund-Nase-Schutz trug.
Jetzt ließ der Politiker aus Baden-Württemberg, der nach Angaben seines Büros am Donnerstag die Intensivstation verlassen konnte, verlauten: »Ich habe nie die Existenz des Sars-CoV-2-Virus noch die Gefährlichkeit der Covid-19-Erkrankung in Abrede gestellt.« Er sei jedoch weiterhin der Auffassung, »dass bislang keine pandemische Lage vorliegt«. Daher halte er die staatlichen Anti-Corona-Maßnahmen für unangemessen.

EXCLUSIVE: Actor John Altman says he plays the guitar and drums and hopes his new single with 'be of great interest to people' - listing Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie as his inspiration
EastEnders icon Nasty Nick is making a move on the music charts.
Soap legend John Altman, who played villain Nick Cotton on EastEnders, has launched a bid for pop stardom.
He told the Daily Star Sunday: “I thought because there is so little going on at the moment, this would be of great interest to people.
“I play guitar and drums and I am a songwriter.
“I have a reputation from my days on EastEnders, so people probably wouldn’t have thought I’d do this.”
John, 68, says his style is influenced by superstars including Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, The Who and Queen.
He added: “I was brought up in the 60s and there was some great music around then. My stuff is quite eclectic. There are elements of everything from punk to blues.”
John’s new single Love of My Life is based on real-life heartache.
He said: “I wrote the song when I wasn’t seeing anybody. That’s not the best way to be in a lockdown.”
Playing a screen baddie for 30 years has made dating difficult for John.
He said: “I am cautious when it comes to relationships.
“Dating could be tricky. They might think they’re going on a date with Nick Cotton.
“But that isn’t going to happen because I’m completely different to the character.”
Love of My Life features on his album Never Too Late To Rock And Roll.
John plans to perform his music live when the pandemic is over. He said: “I want to get out there and maybe do Glastonbury.”
Love of My Life will be available to download on Friday.

Der Amerikaner Tommy Ford verlor beim ersten Lauf in Adelboden die Kontrolle über seine Ski und schlug mit dem Kopf auf. Der 31-Jährige musste mit dem Rettungshubschrauber abtransportiert werden.
Beim Riesenslalom von Adelboden in der Schweiz ist es zu einem schweren Sturz gekommen. Der Amerikaner Tommy Ford hatte bei seinem ersten Lauf bereits das Ziel vor Augen, verlor dann aber die Kontrolle über die Ski, überschlug sich, schlug mit dem Kopf auf den Schnee auf und rutschte wenige Meter vor der Ziellinie in ein Fangnetz.
Ford blieb regungslos liegen, wurde lange am Unfallort behandelt, bevor er mit einem Rettungsschlitten zu einem Rettungshubschrauber abtransportiert wurde, wie auf TV-Bildern zu sehen war. Zunächst gab es keine Informationen über den Zustand des 31-Jährigen. Das Rennen im Berner Oberland war rund 30 Minuten unterbrochen.
Bereits am Freitag war der Norweger Lucas Braathen beim Überqueren der Ziellinie gestürzt und hatte sich dabei eine Bänderverletzung im Knie zugezogen. Das 20 Jahre alte Supertalent muss operiert werden und fällt wohl monatelang aus.

Berlin. Stiftung Warentest hat drei Luftreiniger noch einmal getestet. Diesmal ging es darum: Wie gut filtern sie Aerosole als Corona-Schutz?
Im Frühjahr 2020 ging es den Prüfern der Stiftung Warentest vor allem um Blütenpollen. Wie gut filtern die getesteten Luftreiniger diese aus der Raumluft, um Allergikern das Leben leichter zu machen?
Nun sind die Zeiten andere und wer das Wort Luftreiniger hört, fügt im Kopf das Wort Aerosole hinzu. Diese winzigen schwebenden Partikel sind ein Hauptinfektionsweg für das Coronavirus, wenn ein Infizierter sie ausatmet, spricht oder niest.
Deswegen haben die Warentester ihre drei Testsieger im Dezember noch einmal ins Prüflabor geschickt. Die Frage: Wie gut filtern der Philips AC2889/10, der Rowenta Intense Pure Air Connect PU6080 (beide rund 350 Euro) und der Soehnle Airfresh Clean Connect 500 (250 Euro) Aerosole aus der Raumluft?
Coronavirus – Die wichtigsten News im Überblick
Stiftung Warentest untersucht Luftreiniger: So gut filtern sie Aerosole
Die Geräte mussten nun schwebende Tröpfchen mit einem Durchmesser von 0,12 Millionstel Meter – laut den Warentestern die Größe des Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2 – bis 1,0 Millionstel Meter (Mikrometer) aus der Raumluft filtern.
Liefen die drei Geräte auf Maximalstufe, entfernten sie umgerechnet auf einen Raum mit 16 Quadratmetern Grundfläche und 2,5 Meter Höhe in 20 Minuten 95 Prozent (Philips und Rowenta) beziehungsweise 90 Prozent (Soehnle) der Aerosol-Partikel mit einem Durchmesser von 0,12 Mikrometer aus der Luft.
Corona – Mehr Infos zum Thema
Luftreiniger: Schlechtere Ergebnisse bei älterem Filter
Doch die Ergebnisse verändern sich, wenn der Filter altert. Die Prüfer simulierten das, indem jeder der drei Luftreiniger den Rauch von 100 Zigaretten aufnehmen musste. Daraufhin filterte der Philips noch 90 Prozent der Aerosole heraus, Rowenta immerhin noch 80 Prozent. Doch das Gerät von Soehnle schaffte es nur noch, 46 Prozent der schwebenden Partikel aus der Luft zu entfernen.

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

Erneut haben die portugiesischen Behörden einen neuen Tageshöchstwert an Coronavirus-Neuansteckungen vermeldet. 15 333 seien es binnen 24 Stunden gewesen, hieß es am Samstag. Auch die 274 Covid-19-Toten übersteigen in dem Land alle bisherigen Tageswerte seit Pandemiebeginn. Seit gut einer Woche gilt für die Bevölkerung in Portugal wieder eine allgemeine Abschottungsanordnung, zudem sind nur Geschäfte geöffnet, die Waren des täglichen Bedarfs führen.
Schottland: Vor einem Jahr waren es fünf Ansteckungsfälle
In Schottland haben bislang fast 5200 Menschen ihre zweite Impfstoffdosis gespritzt bekommen. Das sind rund 500 weniger als bisher an der Atemwegserkrankung in dem britischen Landesteil gestorben sind. Vor exakt einem Jahr waren der schottischen Regierung fünf Menschen bekannt, die sich zu jenem Zeitpunkt mit dem Erreger angesteckt hatten. Innerhalb von zwölf Monaten ist die Zahl auf 171 000 angewachsen.
Im Berliner Stadtteil Reinickendorf ist ein Krankenhaus abgeriegelt worden, nachdem festgestellt worden war, dass 20 Personen die aus Großbritannien stammende, hochansteckende Variante des Coronavirus in sich tragen. Die Fälle betreffen sowohl dort stationär behandelte Menschen als auch die Belegschaft. Es wird von weiteren Ansteckungen innerhalb des Krankenhauses ausgegangen.
Frankreich: Alle bis Ende August geimpft?
Wie Ministerpräsident Jean Castex an diesem Samstag mitteilte, sind in Frankreich mittlerweile eine Million Menschen gegen die Atemwegserkrankung geimpft worden. Das Land verfügt über eine Gesamtbevölkerungsanzahl von rund 67 Millionen. Aus dem französischen Gesundheitsministerium hieß es, sollte die Impfstoffversorgung gesichert sein, könnte man bis Ende August alle Menschen im Land geimpft haben.

Fluoreszierende Geckos: Forscher entdecken neuen Mechanismus

München. Neon-grün fluoreszierende Streifen haben Münchner Forscherinnen und Forscher bei Wüstengeckos entdeckt.
Der Mechanismus und auch die erstaunliche Stärke der Fluoreszenz seien bisher bei Landwirbeltieren unbekannt gewesen, teilte das Team der Zoologischen Staatssammlung, der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität und der Hochschule am Montag mit.
In einer Studie zeigten die Forscher, dass der Gecko Pachydactylus rangei aus dem afrikanischen Namibia dank spezieller Pigmentzellen in der Haut unter UV-Licht leuchtet. Die Arbeit wird im Fachjournal "Scientific Reports" vorgestellt.
Biofluoreszenz kommt bei zahlreichen Meeresorganismen vor. Bei Landwirbeltieren ist das Phänomen erst in den vergangenen Jahren verstärkt beschrieben geworden. Bei Reptilien und Amphibien wird es nach Angaben der Fachleute entweder über die Knochen oder Fluoreszenz-Moleküle in der Lymphflüssigkeit unter der Haut verursacht. "Bereits auf den ersten Blick fiel auf, dass bei den Wüstengeckos ein neuer Mechanismus vorliegen musste: Die deutlich neon-grün fluoreszierenden Muster entstammen ganz klar der Haut", erläuterte Erstautor David Prötzel.
Untersuchungen ergaben, dass bei den fluoreszierenden Streifen an den Körperseiten und um die Augen des Geckos spezielle Pigmentzellen, sogenannte Iridophoren, eingelagert sind. In den nicht-fluoreszierenden Hautstellen fehlten diese. Iridophoren sind durch die Reflexion von Licht für die Hautfärbung von Geckos und anderen Echsen mit verantwortlich. Die Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler konnten eigenen Angaben nach nun zum ersten Mal zeigen, dass diese auch fluoreszieren können.
Bei den nächtlichen Wanderungen durch die Namib-Wüste nehmen die fluoreszierenden Hautstellen der Geckos den blauen Anteil des Mondlichts auf und strahlen dieses als heller wirkendes, neon-grünes Licht wieder ab. Unter UV-Licht leuchten die Seiten und die Umgebung der Augen wie von einem Textmarker hervorgehoben. Das Forscherteam vermutet angesichts der Stärke und der Anordnung der fluoreszierenden Bereiche, dass der Gecko im Dunklen leuchtet, damit ihn Artgenossen erkennen können - und das möglicherweise schon von Weitem.

L'épidémie de Covid-19 en Europe : contaminations, décès, vaccinations, confinements. Le point sur la situation au Portugal, en Grande-Bretagne, en Allemagne et en France.
Portugal
La situation sanitaire au Portugal est particulièrement inquiétante. Le pays enregistre des records, en nombre de contaminations (plus de 15 000 par jour), et de décès (274 en 24 heures) : du jamais vu !
Au point que rapporté au nombre d'habitants, le Portugal est aujourd'hui, le pays où l'épidémie progresse le plus vite au monde.
Ce dimanche, les électeurs sont appelés aux urnes pour un scrutin présidentiel. Vu le contexte épidémiologique, les observateurs s'attendent à un très faible taux de participation.
Grande-Bretagne
La situation est tout aussi tendue en Grande-Bretagne. Le pays s'approche du seuil des 100 000 décès. Alors, les autorités sanitaires tentent de mettre les bouchées doubles pour faire vacciner la population.
Ainsi, en 24 heures, 478.000 personnes ont reçu une première dose du vaccin contre le COVID-19.
Allemagne
En Allemagne, c'est tout un hôpital de Berlin qui a été mis en quarantaine. Une vingtaine de cas ont été détectés parmi les patients et le personnel soignant. Positifs à la variante anglaise du virus. L'établissement va rester isolé pendant plusieurs jours.
A l'échelle fédérale, la chancelière a décidé en début de semaine de prolonger les restrictions dans tout le pays.
France
Enfin en France, les autorités annoncent avoir franchi la barre du million de personnes vaccinées.
L'objectif fixé par le gouvernement est d'avoir vacciné "15 millions de personnes" d'ici au mois de juin.
Par ailleurs, c'est cette nuit qu'est entrée en vigueur l'obligation pour une partie des voyageurs européens de présenter un test négatif pour entrer dans le pays.

場所中に感染者が出れば中止も視野に…相撲界で新たに５人陽性 コロナ関係の休場者は4部屋で65人に【大相撲】

緊急事態宣言の真っただ中で幕を開ける大相撲初場所。新型コロナウイルスの猛威は容赦なく角界に襲いかかった。全協会員を対象にしたPCR検査で判明した5人の力士はいずれも無症状。現役力士にも大きな衝撃を与えた。電話取材に応じた大関朝乃山は「コロナは目に見えないところでうつるので、あらためて怖いと感じました」と細心の注意を払いながらかど番に臨む。
クラスターを未然に防ぐことはできたが、4部屋で65人という大量のコロナ休場者を出す形となり、十両以上では70人中けがの鶴竜を含め16人が休場。初日ですでに戦後最多タイの関取休場者を数えた。取組数が減ったことで、先場所の初日は午前8時35分だった取組開始が今場所は同9時50分に変更された。
尾車事業部長（元大関琴風）は「検査が陽性になった人たちは無症状だから、本人もどこでうつったか感染経路は不明というところ。コロナの怖いところは、濃厚接触者が友綱部屋でも若い衆が1人だけど全員が休まなくちゃいけない。九重も全員が休まないといけない。それが今回は4部屋になった。都の感染拡大と同じくらいでどこの社会でも感染拡大が襲ってきているという感じを受ける」と危機感を強めている。
万が一、場所中に感染者が出た場合は専門家の意見を聞き、「強く否定する理由がなければ、きちんと先生の指示、指示というかお話を参考にそういうことは大いにありうる」と中止も選択肢に入れていく。
ただ、こんな時だからこそ一丸となって前進する。「緊急事態宣言が出ているので、都内、関東一円は外出を控えることになる。相撲を見ていただいて元気を出してもらう。そういうことで意義はあると思う」と尾車事業部長は日本を鼓舞する熱戦を期待した。

巨人の元木大介ヘッドコーチ（49）が9日、昨季活躍した松原聖弥外野手（25）に、大補強の中でも腐らず奮闘せよとハッパをかけた。
この日は大阪府豊中市で行われたトークショーに参加。新型コロナ対策を厳重にやった中でのイベントでさまざまな話をした元木ヘッドは、昨季途中から右翼に定着した松原について言及。「外国人も入ってきたし、FAで梶谷も加入したが、それでアレっとならないように」と語った。
外野は丸がいて、FAで梶谷が加入し、レフトを守らす構想の新外国人にメジャー96本塁打のテームズも加わった。昨季途中から加入したウィーラーもいる。昨季ブレークした松原にとって分厚い壁がそびえるが、元木ヘッドは自身の経験を紹介してこう語った。
「自分がサードをやっていた時、ルイスという外国人が入ってきた。自分はベンチになるのだけど、そこで切れたら大変、チャンスは必ず来るという気持ちでいた」。1997年に加入したルイスは、その直前の台湾での活躍から「台湾のイチロー」と呼ばれたが、期待通りとはならず、腐らずにいた元木コーチにまた出番が来た。
もちろん新外国人にも梶谷にも活躍をしてほしい。その中で松原も負けじと頑張ることがチーム力を上げる。松原に「実績は関係ない。丸や梶谷を追い抜く気持ちでやってもらいたい」とメッセージを発した。

Aus den Niederlanden Die Niederlande bereiten sich auf weitere drei Wochen im harten Corona-Lockdown vor. Ob Schulen und Kitas geschlossen bleiben, ist noch unklar.
Die Niederlande verlängern ihren strengen Corona-Lockdown wohl bis zum 8. Februar. Das berichtete die niederländische Tageszeitung „de Volkskrant“ am Sonntagabend mit Verweis auf niederländische Regierungskreise. Dem Bericht zufolge sollen auch finanzielle Hilfen der Regierung weiter ausgeweitet werden. Ob Schulen und Kitas geschlossen bleiben, werde in den kommenden Tagen entscheiden. Ein offizielles Regierungsstatement zu dem Treffen des Kabinetts am Sonntag wird für Dienstagabend erwartet.
Grund dafür: Die aktuellen Infektionszahlen seien nicht stark genug gesunken, um Lockerungen der Corona-Maßnahmen zu verantworten, wie „de Volkskrant“ schreibt. Seit Mitte Dezember befinden sich die Niederlande in ihrem bislang härtesten Lockdown – dem „harde lockdown“. Bürgerinnen und Bürger dürfen sich pro Tag draußen nur noch mit einer weiteren Personen eines anderen Haushalts treffen, das öffentliche Leben steht komplett still.
Niederlande: Härtester Corona-Lockdown wird wohl verlängert
Der derzeitige Lockdown gilt seit Mitte Dezember und betrifft erstmals seit Ausbruch der Corona-Pandemie auch alle Geschäfte – außer jene des täglichen Bedarfs. Auch Gastrobetriebe, Kinos, Theater und Museen sowie Friseure, Fitnessstudios und Schwimmbäder im Nachbarland bleiben dicht. Zudem gilt eine Maskenpflicht in öffentlichen Gebäuden und in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln. Zuvor hatte die niederländische Regierung eine allgemeine Maskenpflicht wie in Deutschland lange ausgeschlossen.
Auch das niederländische Bildungs- und Betreuungssystem liegt derzeit lahm. Die aktuelle Lage gebe derzeit keinen Raum dafür, Universitäten, Schulen und Kindergärten früher als geplant zu öffnen, wie das niederländische Ministerium für Kultur und Wissenschaft zum Jahreswechsel mitteilte. Neben digitalem Unterricht bestehen aber Möglichkeiten für Notbetreuung.

◇9日 淀短距離S（リステッド・4歳上オープン・中京・芝1200メートル）
トラヴェスーラ（牡6歳、栗東・高橋康）が4番手から直線鋭く抜け出した。池添は「内枠からロスなく進めることができました。直線に向いて手応え十分だったので、どこに行こうかという感じでしたが、狭いところを割って走ってくれました。いい勝ち方ができたし、強かった」と話した。高橋康師は「ひと息入れてリフレッシュしたことで馬が良くなって帰ってきて調子も上がっていた。最後に余裕もあったので、ようやくこれで胸を張って重賞が使えます」と喜んでいた。
1番人気のアイラブテーラーは発馬直前に前扉に突進。下がって腰を落とした状態でゲートが開いたため、大出遅れ。不運に尽きる16着だったが、岩田康は「乗ってる以上はオレのせい」と潔く振り返った。

Bonn. Laut einer Auswertung gab es von Januar bis Oktober 2020 in Deutschland mehr Fälle von illegalem Tierhandel als im gesamten Vorjahr.

Bonn. Laut einer Auswertung gab es von Januar bis Oktober 2020 in Deutschland mehr Fälle von illegalem Tierhandel als im gesamten Vorjahr.
Der illegale Tierhandel, vor allem mit Welpen, hat in Deutschland auch in Corona-Zeiten nach Einschätzung von Tierschützern weiter zugenommen. Wie der in Bonn ansässigen Deutschen Tierschutzbund feststellte (11. Januar 2021), wurden in den ersten zehn Monaten des Jahres 2020 bundesweit 75 Fälle mit insgesamt 818 Tieren registriert - mehr als im gesamten Vorjahr, als 66 Fälle mit 731 Tieren gezählt worden.
„Der durch die Corona-Pandemie ausgelöste Haustierboom und der anonyme Verkauf über das Internet machen es den Händlern besonders leicht“", meinte Fachreferentin Lisa Hoth vom Tierschutzbund. Die Behörden griffen von Januar bis Oktober bei mutmaßlich illegalen Händlern vor allem Hunde auf, insgesamt 683, aber auch zahlreiche Katzen (130) und weitere Tiere - darunter ein Löwenbaby, das im September nach dem Unfall eines Kleintransporters der A 5 in Kronau (Baden-Württemberg) aufgefallen war.
Beliebteste Rassen: Zwergspitz und Malteser
Die im Jahr 2020 am häufigsten illegal transportierten Hunderassen waren laut Auswertung Zwergspitz und Malteser. Die Dunkelziffer dürfte allerdings beträchtlich sein. Die Zusammenfassung des Tierschutzbundes stützt sich auf Medienberichte und Rückmeldungen aus Tierheimen. Die Unterbringung der sichergestellten Tiere stellt die Heime vor Herausforderungen: Die Kosten pro Tier und Tag liegt den Angaben zufolge bei durchschnittlich 21,40 Uhr.
Eine ganze Reihe Meldungen kam 2020 aus NRW. Beispielsweise waren im Februar sechs Rassewelpen in Hagen beschlagnahmt worden. Im Juni stellten Polizisten einen völlig entkräfteten Welpen an der A3 bei Siegburg sicher, und im August hatte die Polizei in Gelsenkirchen 15 Wochen junge Hunde der Rasse Shih Tzu aus einem überhitzten Transporter gerettet.
Junge Malteser im Kühlschrank eingepfercht
Andere Fälle sind noch gar nicht berücksichtigt, weil sie vom Jahresende datieren. So stellte die Polizei in Köln Anfang Dezember in der Wohnung einer Frau vier junge, augenscheinlich für den Verkauf bestimmte Malteser-Welpen sicher, die in einem offenen Kühlschrank zusammengepfercht waren.
Der Tierschutzbund warnt seit Jahren vor illegalen Tierverkäufen. Viele der gehandelten Hunde stammen den Erkenntnissen zufolge aus qualvollen Zuchten in Osteuropa, der Transport erfolgt häufig unter tierschutzwidrigen Bedingungen. Der Auswertung zufolge wurden auch 2020 zahlreiche kranke Tiere bei diesen Transporten sichergestellt. 13 verstarben in der Folge.
Tierschützer: Internethandel regulieren
Der Tierschutzbund fordert eine Regulierung des Internethandels und eine europaweite verpflichtende Kennzeichnung und Registrierung für Haustiere, um deren Herkunft rückverfolgen zu können. Ebenso bräuchte es eine bessere länderübergreifende Zusammenarbeit, um alle involvierten Personen zu fassen sowie vermehrte Kontrollen und härtere Strafen für die Täter, meinte Fachreferentin Hoth.
Der illegale Welpenhandel boomt und hat 2020 offenbar durch die Corona-Pandemie einen dramatischen Aufschwung erfahren: In den Sommermonaten, in der die Nachfrage nach Haustieren groß war, stieg die Zahl der Fälle an. Das zeigt eine Auswertung des Deutschen Tierschutzbundes zu den bekannt gewordenen Fällen aus 2019, die auch einen Ausblick auf 2020 gibt.
„Allein zwischen Januar und Oktober 2020 wurden 75 Fälle von illegalem Heimtierhandel bekannt, 818 Tiere waren betroffen. Damit liegt die Zahl der Fälle und Tiere bereits über der Gesamtzahl des Vorjahres“, berichtet Lisa Hoth, Fachreferentin für Heimtiere beim Deutschen Tierschutzbund. Betroffen waren vor allem Hunde – insgesamt 683 – und mit 130 Tieren auch erstaunlich viele Katzen. Die finale Erfassung und Auswertung aller Fälle steht noch aus. Die Dunkelziffer dürfte – wie in jedem Jahr – deutlich höher liegen. „Der durch die Corona-Pandemie ausgelöste Haustierboom und der anonyme Verkauf über das Internet machen es den Händlern besonders leicht“, sagt Hoth. Der Tierschutzbund fordert daher eine Regulierung des Internethandels und eine europaweite verpflichtende Kennzeichnung und Registrierung für Haustiere, um deren Herkunft besser rückverfolgen zu können. Ebenso bräuchte es eine bessere länderübergreifende Zusammenarbeit, um alle involvierten Personen zu fassen sowie vermehrte Kontrollen und härtere Strafen für die Täter.
Tierschutzbund veröffentlicht Auswertung zu 2019
Der Deutsche Tierschutzbund wertet jedes Jahr alle Fälle von illegalem Tierhandel aus, die ihm auf der Basis von Medienberichten und den Meldungen betroffener, angeschlossener Tierheime bekannt werden. In seiner Auswertung für das gesamte Jahr 2019 berichtet der Verband von 66 Fällen von illegalem Handel mit mindestens 731 betroffenen Tieren. Im Großteil der Fälle (85%) wurden Hunde gehandelt, meist Rassehunde wie Malteser, Zwergspitz und Französische Bulldogge. Besonders außergewöhnlich war 2019 die Artenvielfalt: So fanden sich neben Hunden und Katzen unter anderem auch ein Bennet-Känguru, Weißwedelhirsche, Riesenschlangen und ein Lisztaffe unter den illegal transportierten Tieren.
Tierheime kämpfen mit den Herausforderungen
Behörden übergeben beschlagnahmte Tiere in die Hände von Tierheimen. Viele der Tiere befinden sich in einem desolaten Gesundheitszustand und brauchen aufwändige Pflege. Auf den entstehenden Kosten – für einen Hundewelpen pro Tag durchschnittlich 21,40 Euro im Jahr 2019 – bleiben die Tierheime meist sitzen. Aus Sicht des Deutschen Tierschutzbundes müsste daher dringend gesetzlich festgelegt werden, dass die Behörden die Kosten für die intensive Betreuung der kranken Welpen vorzustrecken haben.

MemurSen Aydın İl Başkanı Ali Aygül açıklanan enflasyon rakamlarının ardından memur zamlarını değerlendirdi. Aygül, "Enflasyon rakamları kamu görevlilerine reva görülen zammın yetersizliğini teyit etti" dedi. Kamu görevlilerini yakından ilgilendiren 2020 yıllık enflasyon rakamları açıklanarak yüzde 14.60 olarak belirlendi. MemurSen Aydın İl Başkanı Ali Aygül, açıklanan enflasyon rakamının kamu işvereninin ve Kamu Görevlileri Hakem Kurulu’nun kamu görevlilerine uygun gördüğü zammın yetersizliğini teyit ettiğini ifade etti. MemurSen Aydın İl Başkanı Ali Aygül, “2020 yıllık enflasyonunun yüzde 14.60 çıkması, kamu işvereninin ve Kamu Görevlileri Hakem Kurulu’nun 5. Dönem Toplu Sözleşmede kamu görevlilerine reva gördükleri zam oranların yetersizliğini teyit etmiş, tepkimizin haklılığı anlaşılmıştır. 5. dönem toplu sözleşmede MemurSen olarak niçin imza atmadığımızı ve neye imza atmadığımızı anlamakta zorluk çekenler için 2020 yılı enflasyonunun aylık, altı aylık ve yıllık verilerinin her biri, anlamayı kolaylaştırıcı etki yapacaktır” dedi. "5. dönem toplu sözleşme masasına MemurSen olarak sunduğumuz zam teklifleri ile işvereninin önerdiği ve işveren hakeminin de kabul ettiği teklifler arasındaki farka tepkimizin doğruluğu; 2020 yılının her iki döneminde de enflasyon farkı verilmesiyle ispatlanmış oldu" diyen MemurSen Aydın İl Başkanı Aygül, “2020 ve 2021 yıllarında kamu işvereni + İşverenin Hakem Kurulu iradesiyle sırasıyla yüzde 4 + yüzde 4 ve yüzde 3 + yüzde 3 zam kararı alınmış ve oluşturdukları toplu sözleşme metnine böyle yansıtılmıştı. MemurSen olarak masaya, refah payı hariç yüzde 8 + yüzde 7 ve yüzde 6 + yüzde 6 teklifimizi taşımıştık. Tekliflerimizin gerekçesini ifade etmiş İşverene ve Hakemine de ‘enflasyon hedefi ve tahmini üzerinden önerdiğiniz oranlar, gerçekçi değil. Zira ne hedefiniz ne de tahmininiz hiç tutmadı’ uyarısında bulunmuştuk. Beraberinde ‘zammı enflasyon değil masa belirlesin’ demiştik” diye konuştu. Aygül, 2020 yılının birinci ve ikinci altı ayında enflasyon farkı verilmek durumunda kalınmasından çıkarılması gereken sonuçların olduğunu kaydederken, “Bu sonuçlar; hem siyasi iradeye, hem Kamu İşverenine hem de olası bir uzlaşmazlıkta İşverenin Hakemine mesajlar içeriyor. 6. Dönem Toplu Sözleşmede daha makul tekliflerle gelmesi adına Kamu İşverenine ve daha adil karar vermesi adına İşverenin Hakemine 2020 yılı enflasyon oranı ve 5. toplu sözleşme metni üzerinden şunları da ifade etmek gerekiyor” diyerek maddeleri şu şekilde sıraladı; "Toplu Sözleşmeye imza atmamamız emeği korumanın, ekonomiyi verileriyle anlamanın gereğiydi. Kamu işvereni enflasyon tahminini/hedefini değil gerçeğini baz almalıydı. MemurSen’in zam + refah payı önerisi kabul edilseydi, enflasyon gündem olmaz bu tartışma yaşanmazdı. Enflasyon farkı gelecek kayıplarını gideriyor. Geçmiş ay kayıplarını gidermek için enflasyon tazminatı da ödenmesi gerekiyor. Enflasyon farkı ödenmeyi gerektiren enflasyon oranıyla gelir vergisi matrahlarındaki artış uyumlu görünmüyor. Matrahlarda ilave artış gerekiyor. Kamu görevlilerinin ilk altı ayda %1.75, ikinci altı ayda yüzde 4,18 düzeyinde enflasyon farkı almak durumunda kalması; MemurSen’in 8 + 7 + refah payının gerçekçiliğini de imza atmamasının gerekçelerini de teyit ediyor" 5. dönem toplu sözleşmenin zam oranları MemurSen’in değil İşverenin ve Hakeminin kararı olduğunu ifade eden Aygül, “Bunu, MemurSen’e atfetme telaşına girenler artık anlasın ve boşuna yorulmasınlar. 5. dönem toplu sözleşmede MemurSen’in zam oranlarında imzası da rızası da yoktur” diyerek sözlerini noktaladı.

Wuppertal. Nach Schäden im Frühjahr 2020 bleibt die Schwebebahn in Wuppertal weiterhin nur eingeschränkt nutzbar, dafür weiten die Stadtwerke die Tests aus.
Die Wuppertaler Stadtwerke testen die derzeit stark eingeschränkt fahrende Schwebebahn drei Wochen lang vermehrt. Seit Montag seien an allen Werktagen vormittags Test- und Schulungsfahrten geplant, teilten die Stadtwerke (WSW) mit. Derzeit können Fahrgäste wegen Schäden an der Strecke nur am Wochenende mitfahren, zudem wurde bislang nur freitags getestet.
Seit August 2020 ist die Schwebebahn an Werktagen nicht für Fahrgäste nutzbar, ersatzweise fahren Busse. An dem 120 Jahre alten Verkehrsmittel hatte es eine Serie von Schäden gegeben. Die Arbeiten an Gerüst und Fahrschiene dauerten an, so die WSW. Es wurden zunächst keine Angaben gemacht, wann die Arbeiten abgeschlossen sein könnten.
Starke Vibrationen an der Wuppertaler Schwebebahn im Frühjahr
Im Frühjahr des vergangenen Jahres, als die Wagen coronabedingt kaum besetzt waren, traten die mysteriösen Probleme auf. Die Anwohner wunderten sich über die ungewöhnlich lauten Wagen. Vibrationen nahmen zu. Statt nach einem Jahr und 60 000 Kilometern waren die Räder der Bahn bereits nach vier Monaten und 20 000 Kilometern verschlissen. Die Schäden an den Schienen stiegen sprunghaft an.
Die gut 13 Kilometer lange Schwebebahn-Strecke ist nicht nur Wahrzeichen Wuppertals und Touristenattraktion, sondern das Rückgrat des Nahverkehrs der dicht bebauten Industriestadt. Normalerweise nutzen täglich mehr als 80 000 Menschen die Schwebebahn. (dpa)

Aydın'daki bir mahallenin neredeyse tamamının geçim kaynağı olan enginar, Korona virüs salgını ile birlikte saymakla bitmeyen faydaları ile semt pazarlarının en gözde sebzesi haline geldi. Aydın merkez Efeler ilçesine bağlı Gölhisar Mahallesi'nde yaygın olarak yetiştirilen enginar hasat sonrasında pazarlara ulaştırılarak satışa sunuluyor. Beslenme uzmanlarının açıklamalarına göre karaciğer ve mide dostu olarak bilinen enginar tam bir şifa deposu. Ağustos sonundan Eylül ortalarına kadar dikilen enginarlardan 'sakız enginar' Kasım ve Aralık aylarında, 'Bayrampaşa enginarı' ise Mart ve Nisan aylarında hasat ediliyor. Enginarın hasat dönemlerinde sabahın ilk ışıklarında tarlalara gelerek iş başı yapan işçiler, öğle saatine doğru güneşin kavurucu sıcağının hissedilmesiyle işi bırakıyor. Aydın ve çevresinde yaygın olarak tüketilen enginar pazarda 5 ila 8 TL'den alıcı buluyor.Gölhisar Mahallesi'nde enginar üreticiliği yapan Vedat Kocabaş, ülkemizde de görülen ve tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan Korona virüsün enginar satışlarına etki ettiğini belirtti. Şifa deposu enginarın geçmişten bu yana Aydınlılar tarafından sevilerek tüketildiğini ve Korona virüs ile birlikte satışlarının daha da arttığını kaydeden Kocabaş, "Çok şükür enginarımız bu sene bol. Soğuk görmez ise ürünlerimizde sorun olmuyor. Yıllardır pazarlarda ürettiğimiz enginarlarımızı pazarlarda kendimiz satıyor geriye kalanlarını da toptancılar aracılığı ile diğer illere gönderiyoruz. Enginarın yemeği, dolması ve salatası yapılırken bunun yanında enginarı çay gibi kurutup demleyen vatandaşlar da var. Ayrıca gıda takviyesi olarak hapı da bulunuyor. Kısacası enginar her yerde. Korona virüsün ardından satışlarımız da ikiye katlandı" dedi.Enginarın başlıca faydalarının karaciğeri temizlemek ve mideyi korumak olduğunu ifade eden Kocabaş, "Enginar ayrıca kolestrolü düşürür, sindirim sistemini ve kan hücrelerini güçlendirir. Kilo verme sürecini , hücre onarımını ve yenilenmesini destekler. Kemikleri güçlendirir" diye konuşarak enginarın sağlık açısından mükemmel bir ürün olduğunu belirtti.Öte yandan Kocabaş, Aydınlıların zaten bir çok kişinin enginarı bildiğini ve severek tükettiğini sözlerine ekleyerek bugüne kadar enginar tatmayan herkesi enginar tüketmeye davet etti.

非常時ごみ運搬の支援を 県が事業者の組合と協定結ぶ

県は十八日、ごみの収集運搬などの事業者が加盟する県環境整備事業協同組合（大津市）と湖北清掃事業協同組合（長浜市）とそれぞれ、災害や感染症発生時の廃棄物の収集運搬などについて支援協定を締結した。新型コロナウイルスの集団感染などで業務ができなくなった場合を想定した。
県によると、同様の協定は都道府県では初めて。協定では、委託業者の業務ができなくなった市町や一部事務組合からの要請に基づき、県から組合に支援を依頼。組合は支援可能な人員や車を手配し派遣する。
県組合では昨年三月、加盟業者一社でコロナ感染者が発生し、業務を止めた。近隣の業者が対応したが、支援の枠組みがなく、困惑したという。
県公館での締結式で三日月大造知事は「全国の先駆けとなる意義のある一歩」とあいさつ。県組合の権田五雄理事長（６１）は「今後は各市町とも締結したい」と述べ、湖北組合の田中将和代表理事（４１）は「有事の際には、精いっぱい支援したい」と話した。
県と県組合は二〇〇四年に災害時の支援協定を締結した。県組合は甲賀市、甲良町、多賀町との間で支援協定を結んでいる。 （堀尾法道）

ドジャースを20年以上率いた元監督のトミー・ラソーダ監督が亡くなたことを受け、元中日投手で評論家の山本昌さん（55）が追悼コメントを本紙に寄せた。山本昌さんは1988年にドジャース傘下のマイナーリーグに野球留学し、飛躍する礎を築くいなど親交があった。コメントは以下の通り。
寂しいですね。ベロビーチに野球留学した1988年のキャンプでも、不安な僕にメジャーの監督が気さくに声をかけてくれたんです。
覚えているのは99年の沖縄です。星野さんとの食事に、僕も呼んでいただけただけでなく、お土産を用意してくれていたんです。恐縮して大事に抱えていた僕に、ラソーダさんはこう言ったんです。
「おいヤマ、プレゼントっていうのはすぐに開けるもんだぞ。うれしくないのかい？」って。慌てて開けると、中にはドジャースのTシャツ、トレーナー、ユニホームが入っていました。うれしくって、その場で着たのを覚えています。
僕が94年に沢村賞を受賞し（ロサンゼルスの）アイク生原さんのお墓に報告にいった時にもお目にかかりました。最後は2001年だったでしょうか…。「ドジャーブルーの血が流れている」と名言を残し、野球にすべてをささげた偉大な監督。本当に残念ですが、ご冥福を祈るばかりです。

Gelsenkirchen. Sead Kolasinac ist der gewünschte Mentalitätsspieler im Abstiegskampf. Der Bosnier steht bei Schalke für einen Neuanfang.
Wenn Sead Kolasinac zum Beschützer wird, dann fackelt er nicht lange. Als der Verteidiger von Schalke 04 noch beim FC Arsenal in London spielte, gingen Bilder um die Welt, wie Kolasinac auf der Straße einen Angriff auch auf seinen damaligen Teamkollegen Mesut Özil abwehrte: Mit bloßen Händen stellte er sich zwei bewaffneten Räubern in den Weg, die es auf die Uhren der Fußball-Profis abgesehen hatten. Diese Tatkraft passt gut zu dem, was sich Kolasinac jetzt auch für den Abstiegskampf mit Schalke 04 vorgenommen hat. "Keiner darf Angst haben vor dieser Herausforderung", sagt er: "Denn Angst ist nie gut im Sport und im Leben allgemein."
Mehr News und Hintergründe zu Schalke 04:
Sead Kolasinac, mittlerweile 27 Jahre alt und als Persönlichkeit mit rustikalem Charme gereift, ist der Anführer, den sie auf Schalke in verzweifelter Lage gesucht und gefunden haben. Ein deutliches Signal dafür hatte Trainer Christian Gross schon beim 4:0-Sieg am Samstag gegen die TSG Hoffenheim gesendet: Als der etatmäßige Kapitän Omar Mascarell wegen einer Verletzung fehlte, ernannte er nicht dessen Stellvertreter Benjamin Stambouli zum Spielführer, sondern den gerade erst zurückgekehrten Kolasinac. "Ich wollte mit der Kapitänsbinde nochmals ein Zeichen setzen, und er hat das mit Freude angenommen und akzeptiert", erklärte der Schweizer.
Wie sehr Kolasinac mit der Auszeichnung voran ging, zeigte er auf dem Platz. Er gab als Verteidiger nach nicht einmal zwei Minuten den ersten Torschuss ab. Er führte die Zweikämpfe und gemeinsam mit Ralf Fährmann auch das lauteste Wort auf dem Feld. Er war der Führungsspieler, als der er sich vorgestellt hatte: "Ich mache das, weil das meine Art ist", sagt der Bosnier: "Ich bin so ein Spieler, der versucht, vorneweg zu gehen. Das ist meine Eigenschaft, und die kann die Mannschaft sehr gut gebrauchen." Kolasinac war schon als Jugendlicher ein Anführer: Mit ihm als Kapitän wurde Schalke im Jahr 2012 Deutscher A-Jugend-Meister.
Schalke: Kapitänsfrage ist für das nächste Spiel noch offen
Schalkes Trainer Christian Gross spielt nun mit dem Gedanken, Kolasinac auf Dauer die Kapitänsbinde zu übergeben. Er bestätigte bereits nach dem Hoffenheim-Spiel: "Lassen Sie uns das nächste Woche mal diskutieren - also ich werde das intern diskutieren..."
Zwar wird der bisherige Spielführer Omar Mascarell in der Kabine hoch geschätzt. Aber der Spanier ist eher ein Moderator - kein Einpeitscher, wie ihn Schalke im Abstiegskampf braucht. Außerdem trägt Mascarell, der die Binde vor genau einem Jahr von Alexander Nübel übernommen hatte, die Last der Sieglos-Serie mit sich und lieferte auch sportlich wenig Überzeugendes ab. Dagegen kommt Kolasinac mit dem Elan des Hoffenheim-Spiels daher.
Schalke braucht Spieler mit Persönlichkeit - wie Kolasinac
Gross ist überzeugt, dass Kolasinac "innerhalb des Teams ein hohes Standing hat und er während des Spiels enorm Einfluss nehmen kann auf die Mitspieler." Die Kollegen würden den Neuzugang schätzen und achten für das, "was er geleistet hat bis jetzt für Schalke und auch im Ausland. Das hilft enorm." Gross spricht oft davon, dass Schalke Spieler mit einer starken Persönlichkeit für den Abstiegskampf braucht. Weitere werden gesucht.
Mit Kolasinac hat man einen Profi gefunden, der Schalke von 2011 bis 2017 gelebt und sich in den dreieinhalb Jahren beim FC Arsenal als Persönlichkeit weiterentwickelt hat. "Ich bin als Jugendlicher von hier gegangen und bin jetzt als Familienvater wieder zurückgekommen", sagt der 27-Jährige. Schalkes Rettungsmission sieht er beinahe als Ehrensache an: "Ich wurde hier ausgebildet, habe den Sprung in die erste Mannschaft geschafft. Das habe ich dem Verein zu verdanken, und ich bin eine Person, die sowas nicht so schnell vergisst."

Australia the only developed nation on world list of deforestation hotspots

Australia remains one of the world’s hotspots for deforestation according to a new report by WWF, which finds an area six times the size of Tasmania has been cleared globally since 2004.
The analysis identifies 24 “deforestation fronts” worldwide where a total of 43 million hectares of forest was destroyed in the period from 2004 until 2017.
Australia is the only country in the developed world to appear on the list, with eastern Australia named alongside Colombia, Peru, Laos and Mozambique as locations with “medium” rates of deforestation.
The countries with high rates of deforestation include Brazil, Bolivia, Madagascar and Borneo.
The report warns that nearly half of the standing forests in the 24 deforestation fronts have suffered some type of fragmentation and trends suggest clearing will persist unless countries act to protect them.
It expands on a 2015 report by WWF which named 11 hotspots, with eastern Australia also appearing on that list.
In the first analysis, NSW and Queensland were singled out for high rates of clearing, but the new report identifies further areas of concern in Victoria and Tasmania.
“Land-clearing rates rocketed after the axing of restrictions in Queensland and NSW placing eastern Australia alongside the most infamous places in the world for forest destruction,” WWF-Australia conservation scientist Martin Taylor said.
“Despite Queensland restoring some restrictions in 2018, eastern Australia remains a deforestation front. That will not change until we see rates of destruction go down.”
Taylor said the analysis focused on so-called “hotspot” parts of the eastern states where land-clearing rates were highest. He estimated that in Queensland and NSW alone 970,349ha were cleared in the years 2004 to 2017.
The Queensland government tightened land-clearing rules in 2018 but Taylor said there was not enough data available yet to determine the effect of those changes.
In NSW, the Berejiklian government weakened land-clearing rules in 2017 and habitat destruction has since increased.
Globally, commercial agriculture and tree plantations were identified as the biggest drivers of deforestation.
In Australia, the destruction of vegetation for cattle pasture is the most significant driver of forest loss and degradation, but the continued logging of native forests in a number of eastern states is named as an “important secondary cause”.
“Here we are, a developed country, chipping away, whereas every other developed country in the world has stopped doing that,” Taylor said.
Because the analysis only covered up to the year 2017, it excludes the effects of the catastrophic 2019-20 bushfire season, with WWF saying the accelerating effects of climate change made the need for Australian governments to increase protections for wildlife and habitat more urgent.
Forest destruction is a threat to more than 700 endangered Australian plants and animals and WWF-Australia has previously highlighted the effects of clearing conducted without threatened species assessments.
The report says the “comprehensive failure” of the federal government to crack down on illegal clearing has limited the effectiveness of Australian environmental laws in protecting some habitats.
The environment minister, Sussan Ley, declined to comment on WWF’s new findings as she had not seen the report.
Australia’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Act was reviewed last year and the government must release the final report, led by the former competition watchdog head Graeme Samuel, in February.
The interim report called for an independent regulator that would be responsible for enforcing and monitoring compliance with the law.

Smacking children may have lasting impact, research suggests

Smacking children and harsh parenting could have a long-lasting impact on a child’s mental health and behaviour, research suggests.
The use of smacking has generated much debate, with Scotland last year the first nation in the UK to ban the practice. The removal of “justifiable assault” from the law means children now have the same protection from violence as adults.
Now experts say research highlights the need for the other nations to ban the practice, too.
“Scotland has already made that change and Wales is coming, and it would just be great if England could follow suit as well,” said Dr Rebecca Lacey, co-author of the research from University College London. “There are more, softer ways of dealing with problem behaviours,” she added.
Writing in the journal Child, Abuse and Neglect, Lacey and colleagues report how they analysed data from just under 9,000 children born in the UK in 2000-01 who are part of the Millennium Cohort Study.
The team looked at the frequency of eight “adverse events” reported by parents by the time their child was three years old. These included whether the parents smacked their child, had drug or alcohol problems, frequently used harsh parenting behaviours such as shouting at their children or sending them to a “naughty chair”, and whether the parents were separated.
The researchers also looked at questionnaires completed by the parents when their child was aged three, five, seven, 11 and 14, looking into issues ranging from whether the child had friends to whether they worried a lot, had tantrums, or helped others.
“They are indicators of child behaviour and mental health,” said Lacey.
The team found that while about a third of the children had experienced none of the eight types of adverse events by the time they were three, a third had experienced one type, and about a sixth had experienced three or more types. Parental depression, harsh parenting and physical punishment were the most commonly reported of the adverse events.
Taking into account factors such whether the children were living in poverty, the team found the adverse events studied were associated with both behavioural and mental health problems.
“The more adversities a child has experienced by the age of three, the worse their mental health is by that point – but those differences persist over time, so right across early life at least to age 14,” said Lacey.
Lacey added that smacking and harsh parenting were most strongly associated with so-called “externalising problems”, such as fighting with other children, lying or cheating and being hyperactive.
The study has limitations, including that it does not account for the impact of other adverse experiences that children may be experiencing, and cannot prove cause and effect. In addition, the majority of the data was gathered from parents, meaning some adverse events may have been under-reported.
However, Lacey noted underreporting would mean that the associations found in the study were likely to be even stronger than the research suggests.
Dr Elizabeth Gershoff, a professor at the University of Texas and an expert on the impact of smacking on children, who was not involved in the work, welcomed the findings .
“Although this data was collected well before smacking bans were passed in Scotland and Wales, the study’s finding that smacking predicts consistently worse child behaviour over time supports the recent smacking bans”, she said.
Anna Edmundson, the NSPCC’s head of policy, agreed. She said:
“The findings from this research, reinforcing existing evidence that physical punishment can also have long-lasting effects, highlights why England must join Scotland and Wales in ensuring physical assault of children is never reasonable nor justifiable,” she said.

See you in the virtual bar! Digital dramas capture buzz of theatregoing

A new digital initiative has been launched to recreate the social experience of theatregoing, complete with a virtual bar where audiences can chat over interval drinks. Sound Stage, presented by Pitlochry Festival theatre and the Royal Lyceum in Edinburgh in collaboration with Naked Productions, will have an opening season of eight new audio plays by writers including Mark Ravenhill, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Roy Williams and John Byrne. There will be one premiere a month from March onwards.
Pitlochry’s artistic director, Elizabeth Newman, said that it would enable audience members to connect with each other during the isolation of lockdown and give them the sense of a special event that is missing from many theatre streams. For people who live on their own, she said, the theatre is “a place to go and see other people – to have a story but also to talk about what they’ve just experienced”. The buzzy atmosphere in a venue before the play starts and the social interactions with front-of-house staff are recreated online. Audiences buy a ticket, visit the Sound Stage website and are taken to their virtual seat or to the bar, where a host enables them to chat with others, before the bell warns them the play is about to begin. Afterwards there will be post-show discussions with the creative team. Newman said that an integral part of theatregoing for her has always been catching up with friends and having conversations about the play. Sound Stage intends to bring that interactivity and sense of community online.
Pitlochry, situated in Perthshire, has worked hard to engage older visitors. Before its doors were closed by the pandemic there was a considerable uptake for its matinee club, which facilitated discussions about the play with tea and biscuits. The pandemic’s impact on mental health has been huge, said Newman, observing that those who experience loneliness are now further isolated because of the lockdown. Soon after the coronavirus outbreak, her theatre launched a telephone club to reach out to its audiences during the building’s closure, with actors, artists and other members of the theatre team calling those who felt isolated.
The Sound Stage season opens in March with Ravenhill’s autobiographical play Angela, which entwines his upbringing with his mother’s experience of dementia in her later years. Roy Williams’ drama will explore the “special relationship” between the UK and the US. Jaimini Jethwa’s play Hindu Times, which was featured last year in the Guardian’s Future Plays series of extracts, follows the deities Vishnu and Brahma on a night out in Dundee. Sound Stage also includes new works by Lynda Radley, Gary McNair and Frances Poet. The aim is to present the plays in the theatre in the future, and to continue Sound Stage premieres after venues have once more opened their doors.
Newman warned that the theatre industry’s recovery would be akin to a rehabilitation after an illness. “You get setbacks. You think it’s going well and all of a sudden it’s not. The way to recover from illness is to go slow and to go steady, to be really clear with yourself about what is manageable and achievable and what is going to mean long-term recovery. We have to be aware that this is going to take time. It’s not going to go smoothly and it’s not going to be the flick of a switch.”
During the pandemic, Pitlochry released a new audio drama by David Greig, Adventures with the Painted People, which had originally been envisioned as a stage production but was created remotely by an artistic team scattered across the UK. The theatre then planned a festive promenade show on its grounds; Covid restrictions meant that it was filmed for audiences to watch at home.
Newman said that, when restrictions ease, her theatre will return to creating work outdoors before mounting an indoor production and she recognised that organisations must work hard at rebuilding audience confidence in visiting venues again. “Audiences do want to come together to experience stories and make sense of the world,” she said. “We have to keep trying to do that.”

Bochum Der VfL Bochum liegt auf Platz 2 in der 2. Liga. Großen Anteil daran haben die Einwechselspieler. In Regensburg brachten sie den Sieg.
Die Momente der ausgelassen Freude gehören beim VfL Bochum derzeit fest zu den Spielen dazu. Als der gerade erst eingewechselte Thomas Eisfeld beim Spiel in Regensburg in der Nachspielzeit zum 2:0-Endstand traf, sprang zuerst Simon Zoller, Torschütze des 1:0, Trainer Thomas Reis in die Arme. Dann umarmten beide zusammen Co-Trainer Markus Gellhaus. Sie bildeten ein hüpfendes Trio, das damit den Sieg in Regensburg und den damit verbundenen Sprung des VfL auf Platz zwei in der 2. Bundesliga feierte. Die Bochumer stabilisieren sich gerade auf einem sehr hohen Niveau.
29 Punkte hat Reis bereits nach dem 15. Spieltag mit seinem Team gesammelt. Die Mannschaft habe Selbstbewusstsein, glaube an sich. So soll es möglichst weitergehen. „Ich will“, sagte Reis, „dass sie weiter die Gier behält, erfolgreich zu sein. Ich habe derzeit das Gefühl, dass die Jungs alles dafür tun, dass sie gewinnen. Die Mannschaft setzt vieles davon um, was wir uns im Training erarbeiten. Wir versuchen uns weiter zu verbessern.“
Besetzung des Strafraums passt nicht
Der Sieg in Regensburg und dann auch noch zu Null sei wichtig gewesen. „Aber auch nach so einem Spiel schauen wir natürlich, was wir besser machen können. Es war kein einfaches Spiel. In der ersten Hälfte sind wir nicht wie erhofft zu Abschlüssen gekommen. Die Besetzung des Strafraums hat nicht immer gepasst. Wenn wir außen durchgebrochen sind, waren teilweise zu wenige Spieler im Strafraum und wenn ausreichend Spieler im Strafraum waren, haben wir den Ball nicht an den Mann gebracht. Erneut sind wir mit unseren Umschaltmomenten zu fahrlässig umgegangen. Wir sprechen die Fehler an und versuchen es im nächsten Spiel besser zu machen.“
Wenn man Erfolg habe, sei aber vieles einfacher. „Bei uns passt derzeit viel zusammen“, sagte Reis.
Das führt zu einer bemerkenswerten Konstanz. Von den letzten sieben Spielen haben die Bochumer fünf gewonnen. Sie scheinen als Mannschaft gewachsen zu sein. Auch das ist ein Verdienst von Thomas Reis.
Mannschaft soll als Einheit funktionieren
Erneut outet er sich ein Fan davon zu sein, „dass eine Mannschaft als Einheit funktioniert“. Das helfe auch bei Rückschlägen. „Und dass wir mit Rückschlägen umgehen können, haben wir nach den Niederlagen gegen Kiel und Hannover und dem Rückstand gegen Darmstadt gezeigt.“
Gerade beim 2:1-Sieg gegen Darmstadt wurde deutlich, dass derzeit scheinbar alle Akteure im Team ihre Rolle annehmen. Auch wenn sie vielleicht nicht so viel spielen wie gewünscht. Milos Pantovic ist da ein gutes Beispiel.
Lob für Pantovic, Eisfeld und Bockhorn
„Er würde sich noch wohler fühlen, wenn er mehr spielen würde“, sagt Reis über den Angreifer, den er zuletzt zweimal einwechselte. „Er will mehr Einsatzzeit, das ist verständlich. Aber er belohnt sich derzeit mit guten Aktionen. Er setzt die Vorgaben gut um. In Sachen Einsatz konnte man ihm sowieso nie etwas vorwerfen. Der Einsatz stimmte immer, der Ertrag dagegen nicht. Gegen Regensburg hat er die beiden Freistöße herausgeholt, die zu unseren beiden Toren geführt haben.“ Gegen Darmstadt machte er das Tor zum 2:1 – auf Vorarbeit von Herbert Bockhorn.
Der machte nun in Regensburg sein erstes Pflichtspiel von Beginn an für die Bochumer. Reis war mit seiner Leistung zufrieden. „Er hat es bei seinem Debüt in der Startformation gut gemacht. Wir wissen, dass wir mit ihm eine gute Alternative zu Cristian Gamboa haben. Der Konkurrenzkampf im Team bleibt groß.“
Gegen Nürnberg und Sandhausen in der Liga
Das bestätigte letztlich auch Thomas Eisfeld mit seinem Tor. Sein Platz im Team ist von Robert Zulj besetzt. Bis in die Nachspielzeit musste Eisfeld warten, bis er mitspielen durfte. Mit seinem ersten Ballkontakt setzte er dann gleich den Schlusspunkt unter das nächste erfolgreiche Spiel der Bochumer.
„Es ist natürlich schön zu sehen, dass sich auch ein Thomas Eisfeld mit diesem sehenswerten Freistoß zum 2:0 belohnt hat“, sagte Reis. „Gut auch zu sehen, dass sich alle darüber freuen und das die ausgewechselten Spieler die Mannschaft weiter von der Tribüne anfeuern. Das macht eine funktionierende Mannschaft aus.“
Erinnerung an die Vorsaison
Die ist nun weiter extrem gefordert. Die Aufgaben werden nicht leichter. Im DFB-Pokal Anfang Februar sowieso nicht, wenn die Bochumer bei RB Leipzig spielen, aber eben auch nicht in der 2. Bundesliga. „Wir haben weiterhin ein schweres Programm“, sagte Reis. „Jetzt geht es gegen Nürnberg, die hohe Ansprüche haben, dann zum Abschluss der Hinrunde nach Sandhausen. Wir haben jetzt 29 Punkte. Holen wir gegen Nürnberg und Sandhausen weitere Punkte dazu, wäre das eine ordentliche Hinrunde.“
Zur Erinnerung: Zum Abschluss der Hinrunde in der Vorsaison hatten die Bochumer 20 Punkte und lagen auf Platz elf.

Köln Innerhalb einer Woche hat die nach neun Absagen neu formierte DHB-Auswahl deutliche Fortschritte gemacht. Das lässt Spieler und Trainer auf eine gute Weltmeisterschaft hoffen. Am Dienstag reist der deutsche Tross nach Ägypten,
Andreas Wolff wäre nach der verheißungsvollen WM-Generalprobe der deutschen Handballer am liebsten sofort in den Flieger nach Ägypten geklettert.
"Ich habe sehr viel Bock auf das Turnier. Es ist immer eine Ehre, für Deutschland zu spielen", sagte der Weltklasse-Torwart voller Vorfreude auf die am Mittwoch beginnende XXL-Endrunde mit erstmals 32 Mannschaften. "Ich hoffe bei der Weltmeisterschaft auf ein fantastisches Ergebnis."
Die Personalprobleme, die durch Wolffs Kritik an der WM-Absage einiger Teamkollegen ausgelöste Unruhe und nicht zuletzt die Sorgen um die Gesundheit in unsicheren Corona-Zeiten - all das will die deutsche Mannschaft hinter sich lassen, wenn sie am Dienstagvormittag mit einem Charterflieger von Düsseldorf nach Kairo abhebt. "Wir wollen mit den Spielern, die da sind, das Bestmögliche erreichen. Eine deutsche Mannschaft muss immer den Anspruch haben, sich in die K.o.-Phase eines Turniers zu spielen", sagte DHB-Vizepräsident Bob Hanning der Deutschen Presse-Agentur. Wenn das Team bereit sei, die nominellen Nachteile mit Leidenschaft auszugleichen, sei sogar das Halbfinale drin.
Sportvorstand Axel Kromer gab das Viertelfinale als offizielles WM-Ziel aus. "Dort kommt es auf dann auf den Gegner und die Tagesform an", sagte der 44-Jährige. Die Stimmung im Team sei trotz einiger Probleme in der Vorbereitung bestens: "Es ist eine große Begeisterung zu spüren, es wird sehr viel gelacht."
Auch Bundestrainer Alfred Gislason gab sich deutlich zuversichtlicher als noch vor einer Woche. "Ich bin mit der Vorbereitung sehr zufrieden. Die Mannschaft hat überragend mitgemacht und alle Ideen schnell verinnerlicht", lobte er nach dem souveränen 34:20-Sieg im letzten WM-Test gegen Österreich, durch den vorzeitig das Ticket für die EM 2022 gelöst wurde. "Wir sind ein deutliches Stück weitergekommen."
Dieses gute Gefühl nimmt die nach neun Absagen neu formierte DHB-Auswahl mit an den Nil, wo sie in der Vorrunde in Gizeh auf Uruguay, Kap Verde und Ungarn trifft. "Nach den ersten Trainingstagen hatte ich ein paar Sorgenfalten mehr auf der Stirn", berichtete Kapitän Uwe Gensheimer. "Aber wir haben uns von Tag zu Tag gesteigert und sind hoffentlich noch nicht am Ende."
Insbesondere die Abwehr, die Gislason nach dem freiwilligen WM-Verzicht von Hendrik Pekeler, Patrick Wiencek, Steffen Weinhold und Finn Lemke als größte Baustelle ausgemacht hatte, funktionierte am Sonntagabend in Köln teilweise hervorragend. "Was die Jungs in der ersten Halbzeit geleistet haben, war außergewöhnlich. Fantastisch", lobte der bärenstarke Wolff seine Vorderleute. "Das hätte jede Mannschaft der Welt vor Probleme gestellt."
Vor allem der Innenblock mit Sebastian Firnhaber und Johannes Golla überzeugte und ließ auch bei Gislason die Hoffnung keimen, bei der WM bestehen zu können. "Wir wollten eine aggressive 6:0-Deckung stellen, das ist uns in der ersten Halbzeit gut gelungen. Auch das 5:1-System hat funktioniert", analysierte der 61 Jahre alte Isländer. Und Firnhaber erklärte: "Wenn wir die Intensität beibehalten, kann etwas Cooles entstehen."
Dahinter glänzte Wolff, der in der Vorwoche wegen seiner kritischen Äußerungen über die freiwilligen WM-Absagen einiger Teamkollegen aus familiären Gründen selbst in die Kritik geraten war. "Andi hat einen überragenden Tag gehabt", lobte Gislason den Keeper vom polnischen Topteam Vive Kielce. Und Kromer ergänzte: "Er hat gezeigt, wieviel Feuer er einbringt."
Wolff selbst war nach dem Österreich-Spiel darum bemüht, einen Schlussstrich unter die von ihm ausgelöste Debatte zu ziehen. "Absagen sind kein Thema bei der Weltmeisterschaft, wir müssen nach vorne schauen. Es war kein Thema und wird auch keines sein", betonte der 29-Jährige am Sonntagabend. Zuvor hatte er in der Angelegenheit jedoch noch einmal nachgelegt. "Ich bin kein Familienvater, da kann ich mich nicht hineinversetzen, aber Familienväter aus anderen Ländern nehmen auch teil", sagte Wolff in einem am Montag veröffentlichten Interview des "Kicker".
Das alles ist nun Geschichte - genauso wie der Plan der Ausrichter, die WM mit Zuschauern auszutragen. Nach einem Gespräch zwischen IHF-Präsident Hassan Moustafa und dem ägyptischen Premierminister Mostafa Madbouly sowie weiteren hochrangigen Regierungsvertretern des nordafrikanischen Landes wurde das geplante Zuschauerkonzept mit einer Auslastung von 20 Prozent der Hallenkapazitäten auf Drängen von Europas Top-Nationen endgültig verworfen. "Das ist eine sehr gute Nachricht für den Handball-Sport und seine Außenwirkung in den nächsten Wochen", sagte Torwart-Oldie Johannes Bitter.
Auch Gislason war erleichtert. Er kann sich nun ganz auf die Arbeit mit dem Team konzentrieren und auf seine WM-Premiere als Bundestrainer freuen: "Ich hoffe, dass wir wie immer eine Turniermannschaft sind und uns von Spiel zu Spiel steigern."

キャッシュレス決済や顔認証導入 菰野でマース実証実験始まる

菰野町で、公共交通を連携した一つの移動サービスとして稼働させる「ＭａａＳ（マース）」のシステム「おでかけこもの」の二〇二一年の実証実験が十八日から始まった。新たにキャッシュレス決済や顔認証システムなどを導入する。
国土交通省から二年連続で採択を受け、実現した。昨年は、町地域公共交通会議やＮＴＴドコモ、三重交通などと連携し、ウェブサイト上での乗り合いタクシーの予約システムなどの構築に取り組んできた。
今回は、このシステムを利用する際にキャッシュレス決済が可能になった。また、乗り合いタクシーと連動している町のコミュニティバスには、顔認証システムによる乗車確認と子どもたちの見守りサービスを追加。コロナ対策として、車内の密集度合いも分かるようにした。
この日は町保健福祉センターで開始式が催された。柴田孝之町長は「情報通信技術を使った使いやすい公共交通というものを完成させたい」と意気込み、鈴木英敬知事は「この強化には県も取り組んでいる。菰野町での成功を望む」と話した。実験は二月二十八日まで行われる。 （神尾大樹）
