Der verlängerte und verschärfte Lockdown trifft bei Berlins Regierendem Bürgermeister auf volle Zustimmung. Im "ntv Frühstart" verteidigt Michael Müller nicht nur die am Vortag gefassten Beschlüsse. Er macht auch Hoffnung auf bessere Ergebnisse - "schon sehr bald".
Nach der gestrigen Bund-Länder-Konferenz hat sich der Regierende Bürgermeister von Berlin, Michael Müller, zufrieden gezeigt mit den Beschlüssen. "Wir sind mit diesen Maßnahmen auf der Zielgeraden", sagte der Vorsitzende der Ministerpräsidentenkonferenz im "Frühstart" von ntv. Er sehe eine positive Entwicklung bundesweit, diese sei aber noch nicht ausreichend. "Die Zahlen gehen zurück, aber sie müssen weiter zurückgehen, um sie wirklich zu beherrschen und sie müssen vor allen Dingen weiter zurückgehen, damit wir die Krankenhäuser besser entlasten können", sagte Müller.
Umstrittene Beschlüsse, wie die noch stärkere Beschränkung privater Begegnungen oder die Begrenzung des individuellen Bewegungsradius auf 15 Kilometer in Regionen mit einer Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz über 200 verteidigt Müller als sinnvoll und kontrollierbar. "Das ist natürlich von der Polizei zu kontrollieren, so wie andere Maßnahmen im öffentlichen Raum auch. Im privaten Bereich ist es sehr, sehr schwer, das wissen wir auch."
Müller macht Impfen Hoffnung
Der SPD-Politiker rechnet zudem mit einer großen Bereitschaft der Bürger, auch den neuen Beschlüssen nachzukommen. "Wir sehen ja, dass alle Maßnahmen, die wir beschließen, auch ihre Wirkung hinterlassen und dass es den Menschen bewusst ist, dass es auf sie selbst auch ankommt", sagte Müller im "Frühstart".
Große Hoffnung setzt Berlins Regierender Bürgermeister auf die weitere Impf-Kampagne. "Das was jetzt wirklich entlastet, ist, dass wir neben diesen Einschränkungen, eine zweite Säule für unser Vorgehen haben, das ist das Impfen." Müller weiter: "Wenn beide Maßnahmen aufeinandertreffen und ineinandergreifen, werden wir doch schon sehr bald deutlich bessere Ergebnisse sehen."

Saugen, fegen, mähen: lästige Hausarbeit, für die man ungern Zeit aufbringt. Eine Hilfe können Roboter sein. Sie erkennen, was zu tun ist. Doch ohne Mensch kommt selbst das schlaueste Gerät nicht aus.
Auf der Suche nach Krümeln und Staub fahren sie kreuz und quer durch die Wohnung und drehen hierfür Bürsten und Walzen, so schnell es geht: Saugroboter sollen das Saubermachen erleichtern und Zeit sparen. Aber wie intelligent und selbstständig sind die automatischen Haushaltshilfen tatsächlich?
"Die meisten Saugroboter schaffen eine Grundreinigung des Bodens, in die Ecken kommen viele Modelle aber nicht", berichtet Anne Kliem von der Stiftung Warentest in Berlin. Seitliche Bürsten kommen häufig nicht an den Schmutz in der Nische heran.
Ein Grund, warum der alte Staubsauger noch aushelfen muss - aber auch, um Polster zu reinigen oder unter Möbeln zu saugen. Denn nicht jeder Roboter schafft es, unter Schränke, Betten und Sofas zu fahren. "Käufer sollten vor der Anschaffung unter den Möbeln nachmessen, ob er darunter saugen kann oder womöglich steckenbleibt", rät Markus Nohe, Produktexperte beim Tüv Süd in München.
Jeder Saugroboter ist anders
Saugroboter reinigen entweder auf Hartböden oder Teppichen gut, stellt die Stiftung Warentest in einem Test fest. Vor allem preiswerte Modelle schwächeln auf einem der beiden Böden.
"Für Teppichböden muss das Gerät eine Bürste haben, die tief in den Flor eingreift", erklärt Kliem. Andernfalls wird der Schmutz nur oberflächlich beseitigt. "Auf Hartböden sollten sich die Seitenbürsten nicht so schnell drehen, damit der Schmutz nicht weggeschoben wird."
Saugroboter haben Sensoren, damit sie sich im Raum zurechtfinden und Hindernisse erkennen. Die Navigation erfolgt oft über Laser oder Kameras. Beides kann Schwachstellen haben: "Lasermodelle lassen sich durch reflektierende Flächen leicht verwirren - Kameras kämpfen bei schlechten Lichtverhältnissen mit der Orientierung", erklärt Nohe.
Was der Roboter mag, ist Tageslicht, helles Kunstlicht und geradlinige Räume. "Je verwinkelter der Grundriss einer Wohnung, desto eher hat ein Saugroboter Probleme bei der Orientierung", sagt Nohe. Komplexe Grundrisse können zudem die Reinigungsdauer erhöhen.
Wer nicht jedes Mal aufräumen will, bevor der Roboter fährt, sollte Ordnung halten. "Je freier der Boden von Gegenständen ist, desto schneller ist der Reinigungsvorgang insgesamt", sagt Kliem. Herumliegende Socken, die Zeitung von gestern oder kleinteiliges Spielzeug können das Saugen behindern und eine Störung verursachen.
Zu jeder Tageszeit unterwegs
Was der Saugroboter gut schafft, ist häufig zu fahren. Während man selbst nur ein- bis zweimal pro Woche zum Saugen kommt, steht der Roboter täglich rund um die Uhr bereit. Verlässt den Akku die Energie, finden moderne Geräte den Weg zur Ladestation von selbst zurück. Manche saugen danach an der Stelle fort, wo sie unterbrochen wurden.
Einige Geräte lassen sich per Smartphone bedienen. In den Hersteller-Apps kann man zum Beispiel Reinigungszeiten festlegen und die Fahrt auf einer digitalen Karte verfolgen. Datenschutzrechtlich können Apps aber auch bedenklich sein: "Viele Apps senden an den Herstellerserver Daten, die für den Betrieb des Geräts gar nicht nötig sind, wie zum Beispiel der Telefonanbieter des Kunden", sagt Kliem.
Reinigung der Roboter häufig staubig
Für Allergiker zum Problem werden kann die Reinigung der Roboter. "Wirklich hygienisch lässt sich kaum ein Roboter leeren. Sie sammeln Schmutz in einer Box, die beim Entleeren Staub aufwirbelt", sagt Kliem. Neuere Systeme können den Staub selbst an der Ladestation in einen Einwegbeutel umfüllen.
"Käufer sollten darauf achten, dass Verschleißteile des Roboters wie Bürste, Filter oder Akku austauschbar sind. So muss bei einem Defekt nicht das ganze Gerät ausgetauscht werden", rät Nohe. Filter sollten regelmäßig ausgeklopft und gereinigt werden, damit die Saugleistung nicht nachlässt.
Mähroboter brauchen definierte Flächen
Auch im Garten ist der Roboter längst angekommen. Anders als Saugroboter nutzen Mähroboter weder Laser noch Kamera, sondern Stoßsensoren. "In der Regel wählen sie ihre Wege zufällig und wechseln die Richtung, wenn sie irgendwo anstoßen. Vereinzelt kommt zusätzlich Ultraschall zum Einsatz", sagt Kliem. Hochpreisige Geräte sind mit einem GPS-System ausgestattet, um sie auf großen Grundstücken leichter zu finden und vor Diebstahl zu schützen.
"Bei den meisten Modellen muss die Fläche, die der Roboter mähen soll, außen herum mit einem Signaldraht begrenzt werden", sagt sie. Ohne diesen würde der Roboter ins Blumenbeet fahren. Der Draht wird flach in die Grasnarbe verlegt. Der Roboter erkennt ihn über seine Sensoren.
Ab 100 Quadratmeter Rasen - und möglichst keine Steigung
"Handelsübliche Modelle, die zum Beispiel in Baumärkten zu finden sind, können für Flächen bis 400 Quadratmeter eingesetzt werden. Es gibt aber auch spezielle Modelle für Flächen bis 1000 und weit über 1000 Quadratmeter", erklärt Kliem.
Die Stiftung Warentest hat errechnet, dass die Rasenfläche mindestens 100 Quadratmeter groß sein sollte, damit sich die Anschaffung lohnt. Auch der Mähroboter bevorzugt ebene Böden und allenfalls leichte Steigungen, um gut zu funktionieren.
"Je größer das Grundstück, desto leistungsfähiger sollte der Akku sein", sagt Nohe. Andernfalls braucht der Roboter länger für den Schnitt, da ein leerer Akku meist ein bis zwei Stunden aufgeladen wird, bis der Mäher wieder einsatzfähig ist.
Reinigungsaufwand gering
Entleert werden muss ein Mähroboter nie. Sie schneiden nur kurze Stücke von den Halmen ab und lassen die Grasschnipsel als Dünger liegen. Das Mulchen verhindert, dass der Rasen Moos bildet und verfilzt.
Wie häufig ein Mähroboter von Hand gereinigt wird, hängt vom Boden ab. Lehmiger Boden verursache mehr Dreck, als Sandboden oder dichtes Gras, sagt Kliem. Einmal im Jahr empfehlen die Hersteller eine Wartung beim Fachhändler.

A Karratha architecture firm will design the multi-million-dollar upgrade of a Pilbara primary school.
Hurley Architecture and Planning has been chosen by the State Government to carry out the design of Wickham Primary School’s new early learning classrooms.
The project, valued at $3.5 million, will include four purpose-built early childhood classrooms including teaching spaces, kitchens, and storerooms, and will have landscaped play areas.
The works are part of the State Government’s WA Recovery Plan and are expected to create more than 12 jobs.
The recovery plan was announced in August, with $67m in funds allocated to schools in the Pilbara.
Roebourne District High School received $42m to redevelop the facility, which will include a social and culturally led learning environment for Roebourne students from pre-school to secondary school, with specific programs to engage Aboriginal children.
Meanwhile, Karratha Senior High School has been awarded $22m for the development of new classrooms — in particular specialist technology learning rooms, and additional administration and student services facilities.
Wickham Primary School principal Steven Rushforth told the Pilbara News in August the construction of new facilities was a wonderful opportunity.
“(The students) are in demountables currently, and going into purpose-built classrooms will be an outstanding opportunity for them to get in there and further develop their wonderful programs,” he said.
Education Minister Sue Ellery said the upgrades would ensure staff had facilities to deliver the best possible learning opportunities.
Pilbara MLA Kevin Michel said he was proud the McGowan Government was expanding Wickham Primary School.
Mr Michel said the project would enhance education for local students and deliver local jobs.
Construction is expected to start in August and to be completed in May 2022.

She’s the gorgeous star of films such as Baby Driver and Alita: Battle Angel.
And Eiza Gonzalez was seen looking stylish and cute on Tuesday, when she was spotted on a coffee run in Los Angeles.
The actress, who turns 31 at the end of this month, wore a colorful striped knit sweater in shades of bright red, teal, purple and blue.
She paired this with cropped blue skinny jeans, and black sneakers with no socks.
Eiza wore a black face mask with the word 'Vote' written across it in white, surely on the occasion of the Georgia Senate runoff elections which were held on Tuesday.
The Mexican-born actress's straight raven-colored hair hung down over her shoulders, parted at the middle.
The sighting comes as Gonzalez awaits the release of her most recently completed film, Godzilla vs. Kong.
The monster movie, from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., is set to be released on May 21st of this year after a number of delays.
Like most films from 2020, the fourth film in the Monsterverse franchise was significantly delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In May, it will be released both in theaters and on the streaming platform HBO Max.
Warner Bros’ move to release its entire 2021 slate on the streaming platform has met with substantial pushback, especially with regard to the highly anticipated sci-fi epic Dune, which is due in October.
Over the summer, Eiza was spotted packing on the PDA with the star of that sci-fi epic, Timothee Chalamet.
Gonzalez and the fellow actor, 24, were vacationing in June in Cabo San Lucas, where they reportedly 'couldn't keep their hands off of each other' during their five day trip.
But in late October a source close to Gonzalez told E! News that the pair were no longer an item.
Up next, Gonzalez is set to star in the dramatic thriller Ambulance, opposite Jake Gyllenhaal.

Buchmanns erstaunlicher Bogen um die Tour

Emanuel Buchmann ist die personifizierte Hoffnung der heimischen Radsportfans auf den ersten deutschen Tour-de-France-Sieg seit 1997. Doch 2021 wird der Traum nicht in Erfüllung gehen, wenigstens nicht durch Buchmann. Der wird in diesem Jahr überraschend nicht dabei sein beim wichtigsten Radrennen der Welt.
Am auch im Januar herrlich sonnigen Gardasee kann sich Emanuel Buchmann schon mal für sein Jahreshighlight 2021 warmstrampeln. Statt den nächsten Angriff auf das begehrte Gelbe Trikot bei der Tour de France starten zu können, ist Buchmann bei seinem Rennstall Bora-hansgrohe in diesem Jahr als Kapitän für den Giro d'Italia eingeplant. Bei seiner Premiere bei der dreiwöchigen Italien-Rundfahrt will Buchmann nicht nur mitfahren, sondern nach einem schwierigen Corona-Jahr 2020 auch wieder um große Erfolge kämpfen.
"Prinzipiell ist erstmal ein Podestplatz das Ziel. Das wird beim Giro natürlich auch nicht viel leichter", kündigte Buchmann an. Die erstaunliche Radsport-Rochade der Bora-Verantwortlichen um Teamchef Ralph Denk und den Sportlichen Leiter Enrico Poitschke kommt durchaus überraschend. Buchmann hat mit seinem vierten Gesamtrang 2019 nicht nur Träume vom ersten deutschen Tour-Triumph seit Jan Ullrich geweckt, sondern auch eindrucksvoll bewiesen, wie gut ihm die Frankreich-Rundfahrt mit ihrer Charakteristik im Hochsommer liegt.
Als Kapitän zum Giro
"Emanuel ist Vierter bei der Tour de France geworden. Das hat Wilco Kelderman noch nicht geschafft. Deshalb bekommt er die alleinige Kapitänsrolle beim Giro", begründete Denk die Entscheidung. Der niederländische Neuzugang Kelderman, der bei Giro (Gesamtränge drei und sieben) und Vuelta (Vierter, Siebter, Zehnter) schon stark gefahren ist, soll stattdessen das Aufgebot von Bora-hansgrohe in Frankreich anführen.
"Wilco hat bewiesen, dass er Zeitfahren kann. Zeitfahren ist immer ein Schlüsselfaktor", sagte Denk. Bei der Tour 2021 steht gleich zweimal der Kampf gegen die Uhr auf dem Programm, was nicht zu Buchmanns großen Stärken gehört. Der Giro-Etappenplan hingegen ist bislang noch nicht veröffentlicht.
Auf seiner Route zum großen Karriereziel "Gesamtpodium bei der Tour" muss der 28 Jahre alte Buchmann nun also einen Umweg nehmen. "Der Plan ist, dass ich mich auf den Giro konzentriere. Bei der Tour-Strecke haben wir entschieden, dass die Tour nicht wirklich für mich gemacht ist", begründete Buchmann, er sprach gewohnt nüchtern. Sein Tour-Ziel bleibe bestehen, er kann es nur frühestens 2022 wieder aktiv verfolgen.
"Nicht sinnvoll, bei der Tour zu starten"
Die Frage, wer bei der Tour in die Kapitänsrolle schlüpft, ist teamintern traditionell mit sehr viel Prestige verbunden. Wegen des hohen Werbewerts und der gigantischen TV-Präsenz gilt die Rundfahrt mit Ziel in Paris als wichtigstes Rennen der Welt. Dass Leichtgewicht Buchmann 2021 diese Chance nicht bekommt, obwohl er in Alpen und Pyrenäen schon mit den Besten der Welt mithalten konnte, ist definitiv ein Rückschlag. "Wir sind auf Emanuel zugegangen. Er sieht es ähnlich wie wir, dass es dieses Jahr nicht sinnvoll ist, bei der Tour zu starten", sagte der Sportliche Leiter Poitschke.
In Titelverteidiger Tadej Pogacar, dem 2019er-Sieger Egan Bernal und Ex-Skispringer Primoz Roglic gäbe es zwar jede Menge Widersacher, die auch den Gesamtsieg in Frankreich anpeilen. Buchmann bewies aber auch 2020 beim Critérium du Dauphiné extreme Tempohärte im Hochgebirge, bis er nach einem Sturz vorzeitig aussteigen musste. Die Rückenschmerzen plagten ihn bei der folgenden Tour so sehr, dass er nicht über Rang 38 im Gesamtklassement rauskam. Die Zeit sei "nicht so einfach" und "nicht so schön" gewesen, berichtete Buchmann nun in einer Medienrunde aus dem Trainingscamp am Gardasee. Inzwischen sei er immerhin wieder schmerzfrei und könne problemlos für das neue Radsport-Jahr trainieren.

Kurz vor dem Ziel verliert der Amerikaner Tommy Ford die Kontrolle über seinen Ski. Beim Riesenslalom-Klassiker Adelboden stürzt der 31-Jährige schwer und knallt mit Oberkörper und Kopf auf die brettharte Piste. Ford liegt minutenlang regungslos im Zielbereich.
Ein brutaler Sturz überschattet den Riesenslalom-Klassiker in Adelboden. Der Amerikaner Tommy Ford verliert nur drei Tore vor dem Ziel die Kontrolle über seine Bretter. Sein Außenski bricht aus. Er knallt hart auf, überschlägt sich, nur ein Brett löst sich vom Fuß. Wenige Meter weiter bleibt er schließlich regungslos liegen. Ein paar Verantwortliche, die kurz vor dem Zielraum standen, mussten sich mit einem Sprung in Sicherheit bringen. Einer von ihnen wurde aber trotzdem leicht mitgenommen.
Über den Zustand des 31 Jahre alten Ford ist noch nichts bekannt. Er soll allerdings für einen Moment das Bewusstsein verloren haben. Mittlerweile ist er laut ZDF-Informationen aber ansprechbar. Minutenlang wurde der US-Boy direkt neben der Zieldurchfahrt behandelt. Es musste ihm anscheinend direkt an der Piste noch eine Infusion gelegt werden. Ein Helikopter stand bereit, um ihn ins Krankenhaus zu bringen. "Das hat nicht gut ausgeschaut", sagte der führende Schweizer Loic Meillard im ZDF.
Das Rennen wurde für knapp 30 Minuten unterbrochen. Ford war er erst der vierte Fahrer, der die Piste am Chuenisbärgli in Angriff genommen hatte. Es ist übrigens bereits der zweite schwere Sturz an diesem Rennwochenende. Am Freitag war der junge Norweger Lucas Braathen beim Überqueren der Ziellinie gestürzt und hatte sich dabei eine folgenreiche Bänderverletzung im Knie zugezogen. Er muss operiert werden und fällt monatelang aus.
Ford ist übrigens ein erfahrener und erfolgreicher Fahrer im Ski-Zirkus. In seiner Spezialdisziplin, dem Riesenslalom, feierte er bislang einen Weltcup-Sieg im vergangenen Jahr beim Heimrennen in Beaver Creek auf der legendären Piste "Birds of Prey". Die Disziplinenwertung schloss er vergangene Saison auf Rang fünf ab. Insgesamt stand er dreimal auf dem Podium.

A Pilbara local government has thrown its support behind the Karijini Experience to help bring it back this year.
The annual festival usually features more than 180 Aboriginal people from the music, art, theatre, and food industries who travel from all over Australia to perform at Karijini National Park.
At a special council meeting last month the Shire of Ashburton committed to act as the standalone principal sponsor and provide $85,000 in funds.
The Shire of Ashburton provided event organisers Nintirri Centre $50,000 to help run the event last year, which was due to be headlined by Thelma Plum, pictured, but it was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to a Shire officer’s report, the $50,000 was placed into a trust account and rolled over to this year, when the Nintirri Centre reached out to the organisation for a further $35,000.
The report said ticket sales were higher than this time last year.
“Eighty-four per cent of the tickets already sold are from areas outside of the Shire of Ashburton,” it said. The funding would come from spare funds in the organisation’s 2020-21 budget.
Shire president Kerry White said she was pleased the Karijini Experience was a hallmark event for the Ashburton region.
“Council recognise the importance of tourism to our Shire as a diverse and sustainable industry and the Karijini Experience, as one of the esteemed events in the region, showcases our distinctive tourism offering to a local, intrastate and interstate audience,” she said.
The event is from April 6-10.

Die neuen Importbedingungen der EU sorgen für Frust auf der britischen Insel. So muss das Logistikunternehmen DPD derzeit jedes fünfte Paket an den Absender zurückschicken, weil notwendige Papiere fehlen. Besserung ist nach Angaben der britischen Regierung vorerst nicht in Sicht.
Eine wachsende Zahl von Logistikunternehmen hat seine Lieferungen von Großbritannien in die EU zurückgefahren oder eingestellt. Hintergrund seien neue Grenzkontrollen und Importsteuern, berichtet der "Guardian". So kündigte der bekannte Kurierdienst DPD auf seiner Webseite an, dass er seinen Straßenlieferungen von der britischen Insel nach Europa "pausieren" werde. Das gelte auch für Lieferungen von Nordirland nach Irland.
Nach Angaben von DPD verzögern die neuen Importbedingungen für Pakete die Lieferzeiten deutlich, falls sie überhaupt zugestellt werden können: Jedes fünfte Paket müsse derzeit an den Absender zurückgeschickt werden, weil die benötigen Papiere falsch oder unvollständig seien, erklärte das Unternehmen. Problematisch seien zudem durch lange Staus verursachte Verzögerungen an britischen Häfen. Demnach will DPD ab Mittwoch wieder auf das europäische Festland ausliefern.
Besserung ist vorerst allerdings nicht in Sicht. Der britische Staatssekretär für Kabinettsangelegenheiten, Michael Gove, erklärte, dass er aufgrund der neuen Einfuhrbedingungen weitere Verzögerungen an den Grenzen erwartet. Davon werde vor allem die Route vom englischen Dover ins französische Calais betroffen sein, sagte er im britischen Fernsehen. Die Regierung müsse ihre "Kommunikationsbemühungen verdoppeln", damit jedes Unternehmen wisse, welche Papiere für einen reibungslosen Handel notwendig seien.
Zölle, obwohl zollfrei
Großbritannien war zum Jahreswechsel nach einer Übergangszeit von elf Monaten aus dem EU-Binnenmarkt ausgetreten und hatte den Brexit damit endgültig besiegelt. Am 1. Januar trat das Post-Brexit-Abkommen in Kraft, das zahlreiche Handels- und Zollfragen regelt. Auch Lebensmittel und Kleidung gelten nach wie vor als zollfrei, doch gibt es zahlreiche Ausnahmen. So haben Textilhändler große Schwierigkeiten, weil deren Waren häufig in Asien hergestellt werden. Dem an Heiligabend vereinbarten Handelspakt zufolge fallen für Kleider und Accessoires neuerdings Zölle an, wenn sie zwar von Großbritannien aus in die Europäische Union geliefert werden, aber in Bangladesch oder Kambodscha hergestellt wurden. Nur Waren, die in Großbritannien weiterverarbeitet oder veredelt wurden, dürfen zollfrei eingeführt werden. Die Regeln dazu sind komplex und von Warengruppe zu Warengruppe unterschiedlich.
Auch der Lebensmittelhandel in Nordirland hat mit den Änderungen zu kämpfen. "Die Menschen hier beschweren sich über leere Regale in den Supermärkten", sagte die nordirische Konfliktforscherin und Brexit-Expertin Katy Hayward von der Queen's University Belfast. Insbesondere bei frischen Produkten komme es zu Störungen der Lieferketten. Firmen seien unsicher, welche Formulare bei der Einfuhr notwendig sind.
Um den Frieden und den Grenzverkehr zwischen Irland und Nordirland auf der irischen Insel nicht zu gefährden, gelten für den Warenverkehr mit Nordirland trotz Brexit nach wie vor die Handelsregeln der EU. Welche Papiere notwendig sind, war aber erst kurz vor dem Jahreswechsel veröffentlicht worden.

Für Ferrari ist das Jahr 2020 sportlich fast durchgehend eine lange Katastrophe: Nur vereinzelt kann die Scuderia positive Schlagzeilen produzieren. Teamchef Binotto warnt, dass auch 2021 für wenig Begeisterung sorgen könnte. Der Italiener fürchtet eine Benachteiligung durch das Reglement.
Die Formel-1-Saison 2020 war für Ferrari und Teamchef Mattia Binotto eine Saison zum Vergessen. Im WM-Kampf konnte die Scuderia so gar nichts ausrichten, in der Konstrukteurs-Wertung landeten die Italiener auf einem enttäuschenden sechsten Rang. 2021 muss Binotto liefern - beklagt aber schon vor Saisonstart Nachteile gegenüber Aston Martin, dem neuen Team des bei Ferrari geschassten Sebastian Vettel.
Dass es für die Spitze auch in der neuen Saison kaum reichen wird und gegen Mercedes und Red Bull kein Kraut gewachsen sein dürfte, ist Ferrari bereits klar - zu wenig Entwicklung ist in diesem Jahr an den Autos erlaubt, zu schlecht der Ferrari-Motor. Das Minimal-Ziel: Das Mittelfeld wieder anführen. "Dritter zu werden, ist nicht völlig unmöglich. Das muss unser Minimalziel sein", erklärte Binotto. Beim Motor, in der letzten Saison das große Manko, mache man "gute Fortschritte".
Doch der Kampf um den dritten Rang wird kein einfacher: McLaren, Dritter der Konstrukteurswertung 2020, erwartet sich Fortschritte vom Wechsel zum starken Mercedes-Motor - und Aston Martin, als Racing Point Vierter der vergangenen Saison, will mit Sebastian Vettel auftrumpfen.
Aston Martin und McLaren profitieren
Auch Aston Martin profitiert von der Zusammenarbeit mit Mercedes. Weil es 2020 bereits ein Upgrade auf die aktuellen Versionen von Getriebe und Hinterachse gab, muss das Team für diese Bereiche keine Entwicklungspunkte mehr ausgeben. 2021 ist die Entwicklung der Boliden eingeschränkt, für den Bereich des Chassis dürfen die Teams nur zwei sogenannte Token ausgeben.
Für Ferrari ein klarer Nachteil, moniert der Ferrari-Teamchef: "Wir haben nur zwei Token zur Verfügung und versuchen, die Schwächen anzugehen und zu modifizieren. Es gibt aber Teams, die im Moment nicht durch Token limitiert sind, sie haben freie Token." Neben Aston Martin profitiert hier auch Alpha Tauri, das Schwesterteam von Red Bull. "Diese Teams werden also einen Wettbewerbsvorteil gegenüber uns und anderen Teams haben, was die Entwicklung angeht, dessen wir uns voll bewusst sein müssen", dämpft Binotto die Erwartungen.
McLaren habe vor allem durch den Wechsel zu Mercedesmotoren einen Vorteil und darf durch den Herstellerwechsel Umbauten im Bereich des Motors vornehmen, die sonst verboten wären. "Die Konkurrenz wird nächstes Jahr wieder sehr stark sein", resümiert Binotto. Dennoch glaube er an sein Team. Er vertraue der Truppe aus Maranello und sei zuversichtlich, dass die Mannschaft einen besseren Job als in der vergangenen Saison mache.

Skippers and boat owners in the Pilbara are being encouraged to check their vessel registrations after a string of infringement notices were issued on Pilbara waterways recently.
Department of Transport safety compliance officers conducting on-water and ramp inspections issued 12 infringements at Karratha from December 29-30, including seven for unregistered vessels.
DoT regional operations manager John Drummond said the high number of unregistered vessels was a cause for concern. He said it was the skipper’s responsibility to check the vessel’s registration before going on the water, and they faced a $160 fine for going boating without a current registration.
“Current registration of a vessel ensures that important information and contact details are up to date and that your vessel can be easily located or identified by authorities in the event of an emergency,” he said.
Mr Drummond said the DoT website contained all the relevant information to make it easy for a vessel to be registered, or a registration renewed. He said registration fees went towards boating facilities, including jetties and launching ramps.

In der dunklen, kalten Jahreszeit fühlen sich viele abgeschlagen und müde. Bei der Frage, was man dagegen tun kann, landet manch einer bei Vitamin-D-Präparaten. Aber ist es wirklich eine gute Idee, diese einfach einzunehmen?
Über den Nutzen der Einnahme von Vitamin-D-Präparaten wird viel gestritten. Die einen sind davon überzeugt, dass in Deutschland 90 Prozent der Bevölkerung unterversorgt sind und eine Zufuhr, vor allem in den Wintermonaten, dringend nötig ist. Andere gehen davon aus, dass meisten Menschen in Deutschland gut mit Vitamin D versorgt sind, wenn sie sich ausreichend im Freien aufhalten.
Ob man wirklich an einem Vitamin-D-Mangel leidet oder nicht, kann nur anhand einer Blutuntersuchung festgestellt werden. Diese wird normalerweise beim Hausarzt durchgeführt. In der aktuellen Corona-Krise sollte man jedoch dringend vorab mit seinem Hausarzt klären, ob er ausreichende Ressourcen für solch einen Test hat oder ob es berechtigte Gründe für einen Vitamin-D-Test gibt.
Wer zahlt den Bluttest?
Hat der Arzt den Verdacht, dass ein Vitamin-D-Mangel vorliegt, dann zahlen die Krankenkassen die Kosten für die Blutuntersuchung. Wer sich auf eigene Rechnung testen lassen will, muss 20 bis 30 Euro einplanen. Gleichzeitig sollte man sich im Klaren darüber sein, welchen Wert man prüfen lassen möchte.
Erhoben werden kann die Konzentration von 25-Hydroxyvitamin-D, kurz 25-OH-Vitamin-D. Damit wird die Speicherform des Vitamin D erfasst, das die Versorgung durch Eigenproduktion und Zufuhr über die Nahrung widerspiegelt. Vermutet der behandelnde Arzt eine Störung des Vitamin-D-Stoffwechsels, wird im Blut die Konzentration von Calcitriol, kurz 1,25-Vitamin-D3, gemessen. Dieses Hormon ist die biologisch aktive Form von Vitamin D. Die Werte können sowohl in Einheiten von Nanomol je Liter (nmol/l) oder Nanogramm je Milliliter (ng/ml) angegeben werden.
Weil jedoch der Vitamin-D-Serumspiegel starken saisonalen Schwankungen unterliegt, hat ein niedriger Vitamin-D-Wert, der bei einer einmaligen Blutuntersuchung gemacht wird, noch keine große Aussagekraft. Das Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) führt dazu weiter aus: Ein niedriger Vitamin-D-Wert bedeute nicht zwingend, dass bereits ein langfristiger Vitamin-D-Mangel und damit klinische Symptome vorliegen oder noch auftreten werden. Der behandelnde Hausarzt klärt bei Fragen dazu auf. Durch mehrfache Untersuchungen zu verschiedenen Jahreszeiten können Vergleichswerte geschaffen werden. Die Blutproben sollten allerdings möglichst im selben Labor untersucht und die Ergebnisse mit demselben Arzt besprochen werden.
Breites Spektrum an Symptomen
Da ein Vitamin-D-Mangel eher schleichend entsteht, sind auch die Symptome nicht klar zu definieren. Sie reichen von Haarausfall, Stimmungsschwankungen, Muskelschwäche oder -schmerzen über erhöhte Infektanfälligkeit bis hin zur Knochenerweichung. Chronische Magen-Darm-, Leber- oder Nierenerkrankungen können zu einem Vitamin-D-Mangel führen. Auch Erkrankungen der Atemwege, des Stoffwechsels oder ein fehlgeleitetes Immunsystem werden immer wieder mit einer zu geringen Vitamin-D-Versorgung des Körpers in Verbindung gebracht. Gleichzeitig konnte bisher nicht eindeutig geklärt werden, ob es sich dabei um die Ursache oder eine Folge solcher Erkrankungen handelt.
Genauso verhält es sich bei Covid-19 und Vitamin D. In zwei Studien fanden Forschende Hinweise auf einen Zusammenhang zwischen geringen Vitamin-D-Werten und schweren Covid-19-Verläufen. Aber auch hier kann derzeit nicht eindeutig geklärt werden, ob ein geringer Vitamin-D-Wert zu schweren Verläufen führt oder umgekehrt.
Viel hilft nicht immer viel
Weil Vitamin-D-Präparate überdosiert zu verschiedenen Nebenwirkungen wie einem erhöhten Kalziumspiegel, Herzrhythmusstörungen, Nierensteinen, Nierenschäden bis hin zum Nierenversagen führen können, sollten sie lieber nicht leichtfertig und auf eigene Faust eingenommen werden. Da Vitamin D als fettlöslicher Stoff im Fett- und Muskelgewebe gespeichert werden kann, ist eine schleichende Überdosierung mit Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln möglich. Ebenso kann man mit sich damit akut vergiften. Auch bei bestimmten Erkrankungen oder bei gleichzeitiger Einnahme mit bestimmten Medikamenten ist von einer Vitamin-D-Zufuhr dringend abzuraten. Ebenso können verschiedene Medikamente (zum Beispiel Antiepileptika oder Zytostatika) den Vitamin-D-Stoffwechsel beeinträchtigen
Übrigens: Es ist vielfach gezeigt worden, dass es sowohl durch unterschiedliche als auch durch gleiche Messmethoden zu unterschiedlichen Messergebnissen von 25(OH)D kommen kann. Um dadurch auftretende Verwirrungen zu überwinden, sind die Messwerte in verschiedenen Untersuchungen nachträglich standardisiert worden. Nur so sind die Messwerte auch vergleichbar, unabhängig von Zeit, Ort und Analyseverfahren, schreibt das RKI.

"US-Präsidentschaftswahl 2020",
"Donald Trump"

Die USA verklären Reformunfähigkeit zur Tradition. Das desaströse Verhalten von Donald Trump in der Niederlage legt die Missstände schonungslos offen. Der Möchtegern-Diktator und seine Spießgesellen lassen ihr Land als Bananenrepublik erscheinen.
Bekannt ist: In der Niederlage zeigt ein Mensch seinen wahren Charakter. Bei Donald Trump war das nicht nötig. Längst weiß die ganze Welt, dass der scheidende Präsident der USA geistig beschränkter, dreister, dilettantischer, arroganter, egomanischer und empathieloser Lügner ist. Niemanden dürfte es also verwundern, dass er sich nun auch als hundsmiserabler Verlierer präsentiert. Doch sein unrühmlicher Abgang toppt sein bisheriges Verhalten noch um einiges und lässt den politisch interessierten Beobachter einmal mehr den Atem anhalten.
Trumps letzte Wochen in Washington sind wie seine gesamte Amtszeit: ein Mix aus Trauerspiel und Farce. Der Zuschauer schwankt zwischen Wein- und Lachkrämpfen. Wie sich Trump die Lage in seiner Parallelwelt zurechtschwindelt, ist aberwitzig. Wir wissen: Der schlimmste Präsident der USA seit Nixon wähnt sich auf einer Stufe mit Washington, Lincoln und Gott. Die Wahlniederlage gegen Joe Biden muss diesem Narzissten unvorstellbare Seelenqualen bereiten, gegen die nicht mal Golfen hilft. Um sie auszuhalten, biegt sich Trump die Realität einmal mehr zurecht. Er glaubt fest an seine Mär vom Wahlbetrug, damit er sein märchenhaftes Eigenbild vom weißen Riesen im Weißen Haus aufrechterhalten kann. Ein Pfundskerl wie er kann doch gar nicht verlieren, dahinter muss ein Komplott stecken.
Dass Trump mit seinem Verschwörungswahnsinn und dünkelhaften Verhalten seinem Land schadet, ist wiederum zum Heulen. Zum Glück legen seine Selbstherrlichkeit und sein strategisches Unvermögen offen, um was es ihm geht: nur um ihn, nicht um das Wohl seines Fußvolks oder gar der USA. Trump redet von Betrug und stiftet selbst offen zur Wahlfälschung an. "Ich will nur 11.780 Stimmen finden, was eine mehr ist, als was wir haben", sagte er in einem Telefonat mit dem Republikaner Brad Raffensperger, Staatssekretär und damit oberster Wahlleiter von Georgia. Ein Wunsch, der zu Diktaturen und Autokratien passt. Es ist nicht allein die Dreistigkeit, die schockiert, sondern die Wortwahl, die friedlich daherkommt, aber an die Mafia erinnert. Und was sagt Trump? "Ich liebe mein Telefongespräch."
Ein Armutszeugnis sind die Figuren, die für Trump streiten. Manche erwecken den Eindruck, als seien sie Karikaturen aus Comedy- oder TV-Serien wie "House of Cards". Die Anwältin Sidney Powell redete ernsthaft von "Tausenden", die "in die Verschwörung involviert gewesen sein" müssten, ebenso wie Kuba, der vor Jahren verstorbene venezolanische Staatschef Hugo Chávez und "wahrscheinlich auch China". Trumps Anwalt Rudy Giuliani ließ vor einem Parlamentsausschuss in Michigan eine offenkundig besoffene Zeugin aufmarschieren.
Trump treibt Spaltung immer tiefer voran
Traurig ist, dass dieser Irrsinn verfängt, dass ungefähr ein Viertel der Amerikaner glaubt, bei der Wahl sei gemauschelt worden - und das, obwohl die unabhängige Justiz, die sich als Garant der Demokratie erweist, sämtliche Klagen von Trump und seinen Spießgesellen abgewiesen hat. "Anklagen erfordern spezifische Anschuldigungen und dann Beweise. Wir haben hier weder das eine noch das andere", wies ein von Trump ernannter Richter das Ansinnen des Noch-Präsidenten ab, 2,5 Millionen Briefwahlstimmen eines Bundesstaates für ungültig zu erklären. Aber auch das kann der Unterlegene nicht akzeptieren: Justiz ist für ihn nur "great", wenn sie für ihn entscheidet. "Mit dem Supreme Court bin ich nicht glücklich", weil er "uns im Stich gelassen hat". Uns?
So treibt Trump die Spaltung immer tiefer voran und diskreditiert staatliche Prozesse sowie das Schaffen demokratisch legitimierter Institutionen. Der gemeinsame Gastbeitrag aller zehn lebenden Ex-Verteidigungsminister in der "Washington Post" offenbarte, dass sie dem Möchtegern-Diktator sogar zutrauen, die Armee zu missbrauchen, um an der Macht zu bleiben. In asiatischen und südamerikanischen Staaten würde man von Militärputsch reden. Die früheren Minister formulierten vorsichtig, etwaige "Bemühungen" in diese Richtung würden die USA auf "gefährliches, rechtswidriges und verfassungswidriges Gebiet" führen. Jedem ist klar, dass damit auch Blutvergießen gemeint sein sollte.
Für Trump votierten 74,2 Millionen, für Biden 81,2 Millionen Amerikaner. Gestritten wird fast nur über die relativ wenigen Stimmen in jenen Bundesstaaten wie Georgia, wo der Wahlausgang recht knapp war. Hätten die USA ihr mehr als 200 Jahre altes Wahlsystem grundsätzlich reformiert, würde es diesen Streit in der Form nicht geben. Selbst Trump würde es nicht wagen zu fordern: "Ich will, dass Sie sieben Millionen Stimmen finden." Aber da macht das politische Establishment nicht mit. Lieber hält das Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten, der Denker und innovativen Tüftler, an uralten Gepflogenheiten fest und verklärt diese Form des Beharrens zur Tradition.
Ein besonderes Trauerspiel im Trauerspiel sind die Republikaner. Seit Wochen heißt es auch in deutschen Medien, "immer mehr" Parteikollegen Trumps wendeten sich von diesem ab. Dabei haben die führenden Republikaner lediglich das Wahlergebnis endlich öffentlich akzeptiert. Mitch McConnell, der Mehrheitsführer der Republikaner im Senat, gratulierte Biden zum Sieg - Wochen nach der Wahl und einige Stunden nach Wladimir Putin.
Erbärmlicher Showdown im Kongress
Immerhin zeigten die Republikaner neulich Trump an zwei Stellen endlich politisch die Grenzen auf: beim Verteidigungsetat und beim Corona-Hilfspaket für notleidende Amerikaner. Aber gegen dessen Versuche, durch üble Beschuldigungen und Machenschaften im Weißen Haus zu bleiben, wehren sie sich nur halbherzig oder gar nicht. Am Mittwoch wird es im Kongress abermals zu einem erbärmlichen Showdown kommen, da ein gutes Dutzend Republikaner gegen die Wahl Bidens protestieren wollen. Darunter sind Politiker wie Ted Cruz, die sich in Stellung bringen wollen für die US-Wahl in vier Jahren. Auch hier brach Trump sein Wahlversprechen, das politische Establishment der USA aufzumischen - in Wahrheit zementiert er nur die Strukturen. Jeder macht das, was seine Macht sichert.
Und die Demokraten? Von einem überwältigenden Sieg konnte nie die Rede sein. Verlieren sie die Nachwahl in Georgia, muss Biden gegen eine republikanische Mehrheit im Senat ankämpfen. Der künftige US-Präsident ist alles andere als ein dynamischer Hoffnungsträger, der Amerika zu neuen Ufern führt. Dennoch haben die USA der Welt mit seiner Wahl - schon mit Blick auf globale Herausforderungen wie den Klimawandel - einen großen Gefallen getan. Nun ist es vor allem an ihm, die gespaltenen Staaten von Amerika wenigstens ein bisschen zu einigen. Man kann nur hoffen, dass ihn die Republikaner nicht nur auflaufen lassen und selbst an den nächsten Wahlkampf denken. Doch zu befürchten ist: Das Trauerspiel geht weiter.

Bruno Labbadia reagiert auf den extrem schwachen Auftritt von Hertha BSC fassungslos. Durch die Niederlage bei Arminia Bielefeld rutscht der "Big City Club" immer tiefer in den Abstiegskampf, der anvisierte Europapokal scheint unerreichbar. Hertha fehlt es an Mentalität und Cunhas genialen Momenten.
Das akut schwelende Thema Abstiegskampf umkurvte Bruno Labbadia trotzig. "Wir haben es vor allem verpasst, den Anschluss nach vorne herzustellen", sagte der Trainer von Hertha BSC nach der unterirdischen Vorstellung seiner Mannschaft beim 0:1 (0:0) bei Aufsteiger Arminia Bielefeld. Desillusioniert schien der 54-Jährige die prekäre Lage der Berliner nach seiner Rückkehr auf die Bielefelder Alm zu verkennen.
Denn die Realität beim selbsternannten "Big City Club" sieht anders aus. Von den selbst gesteckten hohen Zielen sind die Herthaner meilenweit entfernt. Abstiegskampf statt Europapokal heißt die Devise der Hauptstädter: Der Rückstand auf die zu Saisonbeginn anvisierten internationalen Plätze beträgt bereits neun Punkte, der Puffer auf den kommenden Gegner 1. FC Köln auf dem Relegationsrang hingegen liegt nur noch bei fünf Zählern - im Falle einer Niederlage am Samstag (15.30 Uhr/Sky) in der Domstadt trennen die Berliner nur noch zwei Zähler vom Tabellenkeller.
"Enttäuscht über die Art und Weise" Sport 10.01.21 Hauptstädter im Abstiegskampf Hertha patzt bei Aufsteiger Bielefeld
Labbadia, der zwischen 1998 und 2001 selbst für die Arminia gestürmt hatte, habe unter der Woche bewusst den Ansatz gewählt, "dass wir die Lust am Gewinnen mehr entwickeln müssen und weniger die Angst am Verlieren", berichtete der erfahrene Trainer. Genau deswegen "können wir uns echt in den Arsch beißen, dass wir die entscheidenden Zweikämpfe verloren haben", meckerte Labbadia.
Von der "Lust am Gewinnen" war am Sonntagabend nichts zu sehen bei Labbadias Mannschaft. Selbst nach dem 0:1 durch Reinhold Yabo (64.), der seinen ersten Bundesligatreffer erzielte, war der Aufsteiger aus Ostwestfalen näher dran am 2:0 als die Hertha am Ausgleich. Denn mehr als "Fastmöglichkeiten" (Labbadia) spielten sich die Berliner nicht heraus. Es sei nicht zu erwarten gewesen, "dass wir so viele Ausfälle auf dem Platz haben", kritisierte Labbadia: "Wir sind ganz klar enttäuscht über die Niederlage und die Art und Weise."
Und auch seine Spieler nahmen kein Blatt vor den Mund und monierten die fehlende Einstellung auf dem Rasen. "Es geht nicht, immer nur schön zu spielen. Wenn man mal Gegenwehr bekommt, dann muss man da auch mal durch und es besser annehmen", polterte Niklas Stark. Maximilian Mittelstädt pflichtete ihm bei: "Wir haben den Kampf nicht richtig angenommen", betonte er: "Da müssen wir uns an die eigene Nase fassen. Mit unserem Anspruch müssen wir so ein Spiel gewinnen, da darf es keine Ausreden geben." Zudem dürfte abseits des Platzes aufgrund der offensichtlichen Fehler in der Kaderzusammenstellung Manager Michael Preetz immer mehr in den Fokus rücken.
Cunhas "Besonderes" fehlt Fußball 11.01.21 Die Lehren des 15. Spieltags Das Qualitätsproblem des FC Bayern
Abgesehen von der fehlenden Mentalität schmerzte die Herthaner vor allem der kurzfristige Ausfall von Matheus Cunha, der wegen anhaltender Probleme in der Leistengegend nicht im Kader gestanden hatte. Der 21-jährige Brasilianer fehlte im Offensivspiel an allen Ecken und Enden.
Das konnte auch Labbadia nicht umkurven. "Er ist ein sehr, sehr wichtiger Spieler für uns, der einfach etwas hat, was noch nicht viele Spieler bei uns haben. Er kann das Besondere reinbringen", sagte Labbadia: "Das hätten wir als Mannschaft auffangen müssen, das haben wir nicht gemacht." Und so geht es einfach weiter bergab.

A young Wickham school student has had her creative writing story published in a book.
At just 10 years of age, Tahlia Nunn, pictured, is already a published author with her story The Secret Tree House Visit That Changed My Life Forever.
Tahlia completed a six-week creative writing course, hosted by British children’s author R.A. Powell, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown last year.
The course included a writing competition, with all entries collated into a book, Rainbows During Lockdown.
It features 58 stories written by children aged four to 15, with Tahlia the only Australian contributor.
The book was released last month, and 100 per cent of authors’ royalties are to be donated to two UK charities, ICUsteps, and School Home Support, to help vulnerable people affected by COVID-19.
Tahlia said her story took about two weeks to write.
“It’s about a girl who loves rainbows and she has an accident and she has to go to hospital, and the rainbow of the story is that she finds a new friend,” she said.
Tahlia said she enjoyed reading as well as writing and hoped to continue that into the future.
“I want to keep writing so people can read my stories,” she said.
“I like reading mystery stories and stuff about World War I and II, like the diary of Anne Frank.
“That’s pretty interesting.
“I want to be either a famous story writer or maybe someone that helps with animals like a vet.”

Stiftung Warentest holt die drei besten Luftreiniger aus einem vorangegangenen Test erneut ins Labor, um zu prüfen, wie zuverlässig sie Coronaviren einfangen können. Anfangs leisten alle Kandidaten gute Arbeit, doch längerfristig überzeugt ohne Filterwechsel nur eines der Geräte.
Die Gefahr einer Covid-19-Infektion ist in geschlossenen Räumen besonders hoch, da sich die Coronaviren dort über winzige Tröpfchen, die Menschen ausstoßen, schwebend in der Luft verteilen. Rund 100 dieser Aerosole genannten Partikel stößt ein Mensch alleine beim Atmen pro Sekunde aus, beim Sprechen etwa 200 und beim Niesen bis zu 20.000. Um die Virenlast und damit das Ansteckungsrisiko zu minimieren, kann man Luftreiniger einsetzen, die die Schwebeteilchen herausfiltern. Stiftung Warentest hat geprüft, wie gut das ihre drei Testsieger vom Februar 2020 können.
Statt Blütenpollen oder Zigarettenrauch mussten der Philips AC2889/10 (circa 360 Euro), der Rowenta Intense Pure Air Connect PU6080 (circa 400 Euro) und der Soehnle Airfresh Clean Connect 500 (ab 275 Euro) diesmal schwebende Tröpfchen mit einem Durchmesser von 0,12 bis 1 Millionstel Meter aus der Raumluft filtern.
Frisch aus der Verpackung zeigten alle drei Testkandidaten zunächst eine starke Leistung und filterten jeweils auf Maximalstufe einen Großteil der Partikel aus der Luft. Umgerechnet auf einen Raum mit 16 Quadratmetern Grundfläche, 2,5 Meter Höhe und damit 40 Kubikmeter Raumvolumen sind nach 20 Minuten die meisten Aerosolpartikel mit 0,12 Mikrometer Durchmesser weg: bei Philips und Rowenta je 95 Prozent, beim Soehnle 90 Prozent. Wissenschaftler gehen davon aus, dass eine solche Reduzierung der Viruslast in der Luft das Ansteckungsrisiko sehr stark senkt.
Filter altern unterschiedlich schnell
So weit, so gut. Allerdings stellten die Prüfer fest, dass bei zwei der getesteten Luftreiniger die Filterleistung mit der Zeit deutlich beziehungsweise sehr deutlich abnimmt. Stiftung Warentest simulierte dabei eine Alterung der Filter, indem sie jedes der Geräte den Rauch von 100 Zigaretten aufsaugen ließ. Während der Philips-Luftreiniger danach immer noch rund 90 Prozent der Aerosole abfing, sank beim Rowenta-Konkurrent der Wert auf knapp 80 Prozent.
Das Gerät von Soehnlein reduzierte die Virenlast nach der künstlichen Alterung sogar nur noch um rund 46 Prozent. Das bedeutet, dass man für eine dauerhaft gute Schutzwirkung ziemlich tief in die Tasche greifen muss, da ein Austauschfilter für das Gerät knapp 40 Euro kostet.
Nur für kleinere Räume geeignet
Stiftung Warentest weist darauf hin, dass die drei Testkandidaten nur für kleinere Räume wie Badezimmer gut geeignet sind. Außerdem setzten die Hersteller in dieser Preisklasse keine genormten Hepa-Filter ein, die praktisch 100 Prozent der Aerosole abfangen können. Die Filterklassen H13 oder H14 ergäben erst in größeren Geräten Sinn, die mehrere Tausend Euro kosten und bis zu zwei Meter hoch sein könnten.
Für Käufer eines der drei getesteten Geräte haben die Prüfer noch einen wertvollen Tipp: Sie sollten auf einen Automatikbetrieb verzichten, da die Luftreiniger ihre Leistung reduzierten, wenn die Partikelkonzentration allgemein niedrig sei. Sie reagierten vor allem auf Feinstaub et cetera, die wenigen Aerosole durch Atmen seien für die Messung nicht relevant, schreibt Warentest.

The teenage prisoner who escaped police custody by slipping off his handcuffs and dashing across a runway while being transferred from Karratha Airport last year has pleaded guilty to a string of charges.
Tarkyn Hayes, 19, appeared before Karratha Magistrate’s Court last Wednesday via video link from Casuarina Prison, where the court heard he managed to break free from private security contractors on November 6.
Hayes, a convicted burglar and robber, was on the run for about 40 minutes before he was recaptured by police not far from the airport.
It is alleged he also assaulted custodial services officer Gregory Wallace during the ordeal and made a threat to do an unlawful act.
Hayes pleaded guilty to escaping from custody, trespassing on Commonwealth land, and being armed in a way to cause fear last Wednesday.
He also admitted to committing a reckless act that may have endangered the safety of a Commonwealth aerodrome.
Hayes denied two charges that he assaulted Mr Wallace and made a threat to do an unlawful act. He is also yet to enter a plea to one charge of damaging property by graffiti.
Hayes will appear before the Karratha District Court on March 3 for his trial allocation date.

Pandemi sürecinde uzun süre ayakta çalışmaktan kaynaklı bel ve bacak ağrısı şikayeti yaşayan sağlık görevlisine Gaziantep Özel ANKA Hastanesinde bel fıtığı teşhisi konuldu. Sağlık çalışanı ANKA Hastanesi’nde mikro cerrahi tekniği kullanılarak gerçekleşen ameliyatın ardından sağlığına kavuştu. Gaziantep’te bir hastanede sağlık personeli olarak görev yapan 32 yaşındaki Ahmet Zor, uzun süredir bel ve bacak ağrısı çekiyordu. Pandemi süreci boyunca yoğun olarak çalışan ve bu nedenle ağrıları daha da artan Zor, Gaziantep Özel ANKA Hastanesi’ne başvurdu. Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Uzmanı Op. Dr. İsmail Demir tarafından muayene edilen Zor’da yapılan tetkikler sonucu bel fıtığı (Lomber Disk Hernisi) tespit edildi. Kendisine bel fıtığı ameliyatı önerilen ve bu öneriyi kabul eden genç adam, Op. Dr. İsmail Demir ve ekibi tarafından mikro cerrahi tekniği kullanılarak gerçekleşen ameliyatın ardından sağlığına kavuştu. Operasyonun ardından ağrılarından kurtulan Ahmet Zor,” Uzun süredir bel ve bacak ağrısı şikayetim vardı. Daha önceleri dinlendiğimde ağrılarım geçiyordu. Ancak pandemi süreci nedeniyle yoğun olarak çalıştığım için ağrılarım arttı. Sağlık çalışanı olarak bel fıtığı hem iş hayatımı hem de sosyal hayatımı oldukça zorluyordu. Ameliyattan önce fizik tedavi ve medikal tedavi almama rağmen ağrılarımda ve yürümemde iyileşme göremedim. Doktorumun bana samimi ve umutlu yaklaşımı ameliyat olmamı sağladı. Ameliyat olduktan 6 saat sonra rahat, ağrısız bir şekilde yürüyebildim. Daha rahat hareket etmeye başladım. Desteksiz kalkabiliyorum, yürüyebiliyorum. Beni iyileştiren doktoruma ve gösterdikleri yakın ilgiden dolayı ANKA Hastanesi yönetimine teşekkür ederim” dedi. “Beyin ve Sinir Cerrahisi Uzmanı Op. Dr. İsmail Demir başarılı geçen operasyonla ilgili şu bilgileri vererek, “Hastamız bize şiddetli bel ve bacak ağrısı şikayeti ile başvurdu. Ağrılar o kadar şiddetlenmiş ki, artık yürümekte bile zorlanır hale gelmiş. Yaptığımız tetkikler sonucu hastamızda bel fıtığı bulunduğunu tespit ettik ve ameliyata karar verdik. Mikro cerrahi tekniği kullanılarak gerçekleştirdiğimiz operasyonun ardından hastamızın ağrıları geçti, durumu gayet iyi. Operasyondan hemen sonra rahat bir şekilde yürümeye başladı. Mikro cerrahi ile gerçekleşen operasyonlarda mikroskop sayesinde dokular ayrıntılı olarak görülerek komplikasyon riski minimuma indirilir. Mikro cerrahi yönteminde daha az kesi yapıldığından dolayı daha az kas dokusu hasarı olur, yaranın iyileşmesi daha çabuk olur. Hasta ameliyattan 46 saat sonra yürüyebilir ve ertesi gün taburcu edilip, normal günlük yaşantısına dönebilir. Ameliyat sonrası ağrıları geçen ve yürümeye başlayan hastamızı sağlıklı bir şekilde taburcu ettik. Hastamıza geçmiş olsun dileklerimizle sağlıklı ve mutlu bir yaşam diliyorum" diye konuştu.

Kryptowährungen haben in den letzten Wochen kräftig an Wert gewonnen. Nun geht es wieder abwärts. Die britische Finanzaufsicht hält die Investitionen für riskant - Anleger könnten ihr gesamtes Geld verlieren.
Die britische Finanzaufsicht sieht den aktuellen Boom bei Kryptowährungen wie dem Bitcoin skeptisch. Solche Investitionen seien hochriskant, warnt die Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Anleger müssten sich deshalb darauf einstellen, ihr gesamtes Geld zu verlieren, das sie in Kryptowährungen gesteckt haben. Der Aufsicht machen vor allem die starken Kursschwankungen, die Komplexität der Kryptowährungen und der Mangel an Verbraucherschutz bei diesen Produkten Sorgen.
Im vergangenen Jahr hat sich der Bitcoin-Kurs vervierfacht. Am Wochenende hatte er die Schallmauer von 40.000 Dollar durchbrochen, nur drei Wochen zuvor die Marke von 20.000 Dollar. Derzeit geht es wieder kräftig abwärts. Allein heute verbilligte sich der Bitcoin um rund zwölf Prozent auf 35.390 Dollar. Kurskapriolen sind bei Bitcoin keine Seltenheit.
Erdacht während der großen Finanzkrise 2008, haftet dem Bitcoin seit jeher ein zweifelhafter Ruf an. Kritiker monieren, die Digitalwährung könne aufgrund anonymer Zahlungsprozesse leicht für kriminelle Zwecke missbraucht werden. Dazu passt, dass der Bitcoin seit Anbeginn von Finanz- und Betrugsskandalen begleitet wird.
Vermögensverwalter investiert in Bitcoin
Das Image des Bitcoins hat sich im vergangenen Jahr jedoch verbessert. Beispielsweise hat Bezahldienst Paypal seinen US-Kunden den Handel mit Kryptowährungen ermöglicht. In diesem Jahr sollen auch Transaktionen in Bitcoin und anderen Digitalwährungen, von denen es mittlerweile Tausende gibt, möglich werden.
Auch große Finanzanleger zeigen ein stärkeres Interesse an digitalen Währungen. So hat etwa der große Vermögensverwalter Fidelity vergangenes Jahr einen Fonds aufgelegt, der in Bitcoin investiert. Auch wird der Bitcoin verstärkt als alternative Anlage genutzt, weil einige Investoren aufgrund der in der Corona-Krise stark steigenden Staatsschulden eine künftig höhere Inflation erwarten.
Nun stellt sich die Frage, ob der Bitcoin nachhaltig von diesen Entwicklungen profitieren kann. Denn wesentliche Kritikpunkte bleiben: Als Zahlungsmittel ist der Bitcoin weitgehend ungeeignet. Zu stark sind seine Kursschwankungen, zu hoch ist der Energieverbrauch in der Herstellung (Mining), zu langatmig und teuer ist die Transaktionsabwicklung. Die Kernidee des Bitcoin-Erfinders, der bis heute nur unter einem Pseudonym bekannt ist, war aber gerade die Erschaffung eines neuen Zahlungsmittels. Auch als Finanzanlage bleibt der Bitcoin umstritten.

Un bacio sulla maschera che lo aiuta a respirare, le mani che si cercano e finalmente si stringono, nonostante il Covid. E' la storia di una coppia di anziani padovani che si è reincontrata nella Terapia Semintensiva dell'Ospedale di Cittadella in provincia di Padova.
Italo Salvadori e Antonia Guidolin, 72 anni lui, 74 lei, marito e moglie, ricoverati entrambi per Coronavirus ma con situazioni cliniche diverse, quindi in reparti differenti, non avevano più avuto alcuna relazione diretta. Quando la moglie è migliorata e non ha più avuto bisogno di ossigenazione, ha chiesto di lui: Sabrina, operatrice socio-sanitaria, l'ha seduta su una carrozzina e l'ha accompagnata al piano di sopra, dove c'era il suo Italo. Un abbraccio, e un bacio che non dimenticheranno, seppur in pigiama.
"E' stata una cosa meravigliosa - commenta Rita Marchi, direttore dell'Area Semintensiva dell'Ospedale di Cittadella -, un incontro che ci ha fatto salire le lacrime agli occhi. Quando la signora, con un quadro clinico migliore del marito, in procinto di essere dimessa ha esternato il suo dolore al medico di guardia, i clinici hanno deciso di farglielo incontrare, anche se le sue condizioni, più serie, richiedono cure semi-intensive". Non si aspettavano certo di vedersi, "è stato un regalo enorme per entrambi. L'uomo è in ventilazione meccanica non invasiva, con la maschera oronasale perché non ha autonomia respiratoria - puntualizza - la moglie lo ha baciato proprio sulla maschera, incoraggiandolo, rincuorandolo e dandogli appuntamento a casa".

The West Pilbara’s top cricketers are gearing up to take on the States best regional teams at this year’s country week.
Two squads will go down to Perth for the week-long competition, with the West Pilbara Cricket Association competing in B and E grades.
Country week will begin this Sunday and run until January 22 at grounds around Perth.
The B-grade squad will be looking to rebound after being relegated out of the A-grade competition last year.
Captain Michael Bunting said the players were excited to face off against the tough competition.
“We’ve punched above our weight for a couple of years now — in A and B is definitely where we sit, so we’re going to be pretty competitive in that grade,” he said.
Bunting said player turnouts for training over the Christmas break had been really positive.
“We’ve got a heap of our first choice players back that have played before in A and B-grade the year we won, so we’re looking at a strong squad,” he said.
Bunting said one of the significant hurdles for the association was getting players down to Perth for the week-long competition.
“The next thing is just the week itself, so we play five games in six days, and it’s 120 overs each day, which is massive compared to the one game a week we normally play here,” he said.
“It’s always a good fun week, we play cricket through the day, and then it’s nice and social in the afternoons when the games end.”
Bunting said it was great for the team to get to experience playing on grass wickets instead of the turf used on multi-use grounds.
“One of the best things about going the chance to play against the best cricketers from the over country towns,” he said.
“The level of competition continues to go up the higher grades you go, and it’s always a great test against a lot of those guys.”
Senior country week starts this Saturday when the WPCA take on Albany at the Iluka Sports Complex.

Was gegen Schmerzen beim Nasenabstrich hilft

Mit dem Nasenabstrich kann das Coronavirus nachgewiesen werden. Viele empfinden ihn allerdings als unangenehm und klagen danach etwa über Niesreiz. Grund dafür sind Verletzungen der Schleimhaut. Doch ein einfacher Trick kann Linderung verschaffen.
Ob eine Infektion mit dem Coronavirus vorliegt, kann verlässlich nur ein PCR-Test zeigen. Dafür haben sich vor allem zwei Methoden etabliert: ein Abstrich aus dem Innenraum des Mundes oder der Nase. Letztere Möglichkeit empfinden viele Menschen aber als unangenehm. Einem Nasenabstrich folgen häufig Kribbelgefühle in der Nase und ein Niesreiz. Der Grund dafür: kleine oberflächliche Schleimhautverletzungen, die der Tupfer beim Nasenabstrich hinterlassen haben kann. "Das führt zu einem Fremdkörpergefühl in der Nase und das kann zu dem Niesreiz führen", erklärt der HNO-Arzt Bernhard Junge-Hülsing aus Starnberg. Kalte und trockene Winterluft könne den Effekt noch verstärken.
Zur Linderung der Beschwerden kann Nasensalbe helfen. Die sollte man sich allerdings nicht mit einem Tupfer in die Nase hineinschieben. Der Tipp des Mediziners: "Die Salbe an den Naseneingang reiben und, ähnlich wie Schnupftabak, hochziehen."
Nach einem Corona-Test kann es auch zu Nasenbluten kommen, wenn der Tupfer in Richtung Nasenscheidewand stößt. Denn dort sind die Schleimhäute besonders gut durchblutet, bei leichten Verletzungen kann es daher schon zu Blutungen kommen. Die hören allerdings oft nach ein paar Minuten wieder auf, wenn man seine Nase vorne zusammendrückt, so dass das Blut gerinnt. "Abschwellende Nasensprays können ebenso helfen, weil sich dadurch die Gefäße zusammenziehen", so Junge-Hülsing. Hört die Blutung auch nach Stunden nicht auf, empfiehlt sich der Besuch eines HNO-Arztes. Schwerere Verletzungen durch den Tupfer, etwa an der Schädelbasis, seien zwar theoretisch möglich, aber sehr, sehr selten, so Junge-Hülsing.
"Oft ist die Abnahmetechnik miserabel"
Wichtig sei, dass der Abstrich korrekt abgenommen werde. "Oft ist die Abnahmetechnik miserabel", beklagt der HNO-Arzt. Der Tupfer sollte keinesfalls Richtung Nasenrücken nach oben in die Nase eingeführt werden. Stattdessen gilt: Am Nasenboden auf Höhe des Gehörgangs gerade und ganz vorsichtig nach hinten schieben. Der Tupfer müsse aber um die sechs Zentimeter in die Nase hinein geführt werden, um in den Nasen-Rachen-Raum zu gelangen, so der Mediziner: "Dort ist die höchste Viruskonzentration."
Laut Robert Koch-Institut stellten Abstriche durch die Nase den Standard zur Probenabnahme bei Corona-Tests dar. Abstriche durch den Mund sind aber auch möglich. Sie seien mit Blick auf die Sensitivität vergleichbar beziehungsweise etwas niedriger, werden jedoch von den meisten im Vergleich zum Nasenabstrich als angenehmer empfunden.

Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kris Humphries rang in the first week of the new year at a luxury beachfront resort with Instagram model, Neyleen Ashley, in Miami Beach.
As the 35-year-old former NBA player enjoyed his sun-soaked getaway, he looked happier than ever as he sat side-by-side with the bombshell blonde, who has more than 2.1 million followers.
While the duo posed for a few snaps together on a lounge chair, the hunky basketball star leaned his head next to Ashley with a big smile on his face.
Meanwhile, she put on a very busty display in a leopard-print bikini top, which she accessorized with a pair of black bottoms and Champion baseball cap.
Her tiny thong showcased every inch of her gym-honed physique and curvaceous derrière, which was heavily tattooed like her upper-back.
Humphries and the Cuban-American, 31, who was born in Miami, looked relaxed as they chatted away with a group of pals and sunbathed.
Later, Ashley hit the sand to play catch with a football and could be laughing with her waist-long tresses cascading down her back.
In addition to engaging her large social media presence with racy pictures, she is an aspiring actress known for taking the Internet and social media by storm in 2016.
She also recently accused TikTok of 'discriminating against her body' after removing her videos because she's 'too sexy.'
In October, she claimed the video-sharing app– famous for users' choreographed and intentionally humorous videos – makes a point of removing her clips, even when similar skits from other models remain online.
'It makes me sad when they remove my videos,' explains the pretty blonde, who also regularly posts saucy snaps on Instagram.
She said the censure is especially hurtful because TikTok has provided her with a psychological lifeline during the past few months.
'During coronavirus I fell in love with TikTok,' she said. 'My first ever ventures in social media were doing funny videos on (now defunct short-video sharing platform) Vine.
'So when Vine got shut down, I quickly transferred my talents to Instagram.
'Then later on TikTok became a release for me and my comedic personality – until I noticed they kept discriminating against me for my body.'
Neyleen believes it is her ample curves that caused the platform's censorship algorithm to make an example of her.
'Given that it is summer time, many people on TikTok are posting in bikinis or shorts,' explains Neyleen.
'If I post the same kinds of videos, wearing a bikini or shorts – not even showing too much cleavage in comparison to the other girls – they immediately delete it and remove followers.
The stunner – who earns up to $1,000 per social media post and describes her aesthetic as 'sporty chic' – does harbor career aspirations beyond social media stardom.
'I am still enrolled in nursing school,' she said. 'But I took a break due to the pandemic.
'Right now I am a full time Instagram model and Twitch streamer.'
Twitch is an Amazon-owned live streaming service popular with video gamers and fans of esports.
Humphries' possible new romance comes as his reality star ex and her husband Kanye West have been rocked by claims that their six-year marriage is over, with sources saying 'divorce is imminent' for the pair.
Several sources have claimed that Kim is preparing to file for divorce from the rapper while he is said to be fed up with the whole Kardashian clan.
The rumors of a split follow a turbulent year for the couple where they were spotted having 'crisis' talks after Kanye accused Kim of trying to 'lock me up' and said he wanted to divorce her in a series of rambling Twitter posts while he was said to be in the grips of a bipolar episode.
Kanye also made a failed run for the White House in 2020 and during his first presidential campaign rally told attendees that Kim had considered aborting daughter North.
A source told PageSix the couple are 'done' and are currently in talks about dividing up their fortune after leading separate lives over the past year, with Kanye spending most of his time at his $14 million ranch in Wyoming.
Kim's marriage to Humphries famously lasted only 72 days.
The former couple began dating in October 2010 before an engagement in May 2011, which was featured on Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Their wedding on August 20, 2011 was well-attended by 450 guests and cost approximately $10million, but their relationship began to sour by October with Kim filing for divorce citing irreconcilable differences.
While Kris and Kim split in October 2011, they faced a lengthy legal battle and finally reached a divorce settlement on June 3, 2013.

Der Impfstart gegen das Coronavirus verläuft in Deutschland eher schleppend. Der Fußball, der in Pandemie- und Lockdownzeiten ohnehin eine Sonderrolle einnimmt, übt sich bei der Frage nach den Impfungen für die Profis in Zurückhaltung. Ein Vorpreschen soll es nicht geben.
Die Fußball-Bundesliga will bei den Impfungen gegen das Coronavirus keine Sonderrolle und nicht vorpreschen. "Wir werden uns artig hinten anstellen", sagte Manager Horst Heldt vom 1. FC Köln. "Erst kommen ältere Menschen und Menschen in den Pflegeheimen und Krankenhäusern. Wir Fußballer kommen irgendwann im Juni oder Juli. Bei dem Punkt sollten wir uns nicht vordrängeln", betonte auch Trainer Marco Rose von Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Während in Deutschland der schleppende Start der Impfungen gegen das Coronavirus heiß diskutiert wird, wollen die Verantwortlichen der Bundesliga keine Sonderrolle für sich reklamieren. Die Deutsche Fußball Liga äußerte sich auf Nachfrage der Deutschen Presse-Agentur nicht eingehend. Die DFL verwies darauf, dass das medizinisch-hygienische Konzept seit Monaten auch ohne Impfungen der Spieler Grundlage für den Spielbetrieb unter den bekannten besonderen Umständen sei. Zudem hätten die bundesweiten Impfungen erst kürzlich begonnen und angesichts der klar geregelten Impfstrategie und Priorisierung von Personengruppen erübrige sich ein kurzfristiger Bezug zum Fußball, hieß es von der DFL.
Die Verantwortlichen der Vereine und der DFL dürften sich sehr wohl bewusst sein, dass sie derzeit ohnehin eine Sonderrolle einnehmen, indem sie ihren top bezahlten Beruf trotz des landesweiten Lockdowns überhaupt ausüben können. Selbst wenn sie seit Wochen schon wieder auf Zuschauer in den Stadien verzichten müssen und auch noch einige Zeit verzichten werden müssen. "Gerade wenn man nach links und nach rechts schaut, wie viele Menschen ihren Job verlieren, dann können wir froh sein, dass wir unserer Arbeit nachgehen dürfen", sagte Trainer Heiko Herrlich vom FC Augsburg.
Ein klares Meinungsbild, inwiefern die Klubs ihren Profis eine Impfpflicht auferlegen könnten, gibt es noch nicht. "Wenn es soweit ist, werden wir uns mit unserem Arzt abstimmen", erklärte Heldt: "Jeder hat in diesem Land aber das Recht es so zu gestalten, wie er das für richtig hält. Ich werde niemanden zwingen."

The Western Bulldogs are the talk of the AFL after a bumper off-season and defender Caleb Daniel says they are embracing the excitement, rather than feeling pressure to perform.
The Bulldogs snared on-baller Adam Treloar from Collingwood in a blockbuster late trade while retaining want-away midfielder Josh Dunkley.
They also added forward Mitch Hannan and ruckman Stefan Martin - before landing No.1 draft pick Jamarra Ugle-Hagan in December.
"Any time you're able to recruit really quality players it really adds excitement to, not just you but, the supporters and the outside media I guess," Daniel said.
"But inside the four walls we're really excited about what the new guys are able to do for the team and what we're able to do around them.
"So they're all putting in the hard yards along with us and they're looking forward to eventually - it's coming around pretty soon - but getting stuck in to games and different things like that in competition for spots in that midfield."
Ugle-Hagan missed the Bulldogs' return to training last week after falling ill and having to wait on the results of a COVID-19 test but has hit the track this week and Daniel was confident the key forward could make an early impact.
"He just did a running test and added some skill stuff with us but you can tell how skilful he is, and he'll definitely add a different dynamic to that forward line," Daniel said.
"I'm really looking forward to getting out and playing some match sim with him and being able to find out how he goes about his business."
Daniel said Dunkley hadn't missed a beat since his proposed trade to Essendon fell through, while Tom Liberatore had been among the midfielders to impress.
He also expected young ruckman Tim English to accelerate his development working alongside experienced recruit Martin.
"It's not just that (our recruits are) quality players but they're quality people, they're going to be quality leaders and help out our younger guys," Daniel said.
"Timmy's still really young, 23, so to have Stef who's played for 10-plus years, it's pretty special."
While the Bulldogs' run-and-gun style is expected to continue, Daniel said coach Luke Beveridge had emphasised improving their defensive efforts.
An All-Australian in 2020, Daniel expected to line up off half-back again this year but could also spend time further up the ground.

La fascia arancione si allarga, in Italia 5 regioni da lunedì rientreranno in questa zona. La pandemia non accenna a rallentare, né nel nostro Paese né in Europa, e il numero della vittime continua a crescere. Sono quindi pronte nuove restrizioni per fermare quella che ormai è una guerra contro il tempo per abbattere i contagi: il 16 gennaio dunque partirà il nuovo Dpcm, che verrà illustrato dal ministro della Salute Roberto Speranza il 13 gennaio. Il principio ispiratore delle nuove misure sarà quello di andare verso una zona gialla rinforzata. La prima certezza è che saranno confermati i weekend arancioni anche nelle regioni gialle (come accade già in questo fine settimana del 9 e 10 gennaio) con la libertà di muoversi all'interno del proprio comune e della propria regione, negozi aperti ma bar e ristoranti chiusi.
All'interno dell'esecutivo si discute invece sull'ipotesi di confermare o meno le restrizioni natalizie riguardo alle visite a parenti e amici (una volta al giorno in non più di due persone con minori di 14 anni al seguito). A parte c'è il grande tema della scuola, al centro di un braccio di ferro fra la ministra Lucia Azzolina e il Pd.
Zona arancione 9 e 10 gennaio: che cosa si può fare 09 Gennaio 2021
Intanto entrano in fascia arancione dall'11 gennaio la Lombardia, il Veneto, l'Emilia-Romagna, la Sicilia e la Calabria e sono sotto stretto controllo il Friuli Venezia Giulia, il Piemonte, Bolzano, Trento, la Puglia e l'Umbria. "Il Lazio è ancora in fascia gialla. Grazie ai cittadini per il rispetto delle regole. Siamo l'unica regione italiana a non avere mai cambiato colore. Ora non abbassiamo la guardia! Solo in questo modo potremo contenere la diffusione del Covid fino alla vaccinazione di massa", commenta il presidente del Lazio Nicola Zingaretti.
Il nuovo Dpcm
È il ministro degli Affari Regionali Francesco Boccia a confermare che "con il sistema delle fasce teniamo il Paese in sicurezza ed evitiamo il lockdown". Ma la decisione di aggiungere nuove restrizioni a quelle già previste dal sistema delle fasce è già stata presa e sarà messa a punto nei prossimi giorni il governo scriverà il nuovo Dpcm in vigore dal 16 gennaio.
Ecco le ipotesi allo studio che presumibilmente ritroveremo nel nuovo provvedimento.
Blocco dei confini regionali
La norma che impedisce la circolazione tra le Regioni - anche tra quelle in fascia gialla - se non per motivi di urgenza, lavoro e salute è considerata tra le più efficaci. Calabria, Emilia, Lombardia Sicilia e Veneto in zona arancione: ecco i dati del monitoraggio di Michele Bocci 08 Gennaio 2021
Deroghe per i Comuni
Nelle regioni arancioni potrebbe essere prevista la deroga che consente a chi abita nei Comuni con un massimo di 5mila abitanti di spostarsi, ma solo in un raggio di 30 chilometri e senza andare nei capoluoghi di provincia. Nelle regioni rosse si pensa di mantenere le restrizioni natalizie che consentivano le visite a parenti e amici solo a due adulti con minori di 14 anni.
Weekend arancioni
Il governo avrebbe già deciso di prolungare la misura dei week end arancioni, in cui gli spostamenti nel proprio comune sono liberi e i negozi sono aperti. Bar e ristoranti rimangono invece chiusi per tutta la giornata e anche il coprifuoco dalla 22 alle 5 rimane in vigore.
Chiusura alle 18 bar e ristoranti
Sembrerebbe confermata confermata la scelta di mantenere anche nelle regioni gialle la chiusura dei ristoranti e bar alle 18, consentendo dopo questo orario soltanto l'asporto di cibi e bevande e la consegna a domicilio.
Palestre e piscine
Tutto fa prevedere che verrà confermata la chiusura di piscine e palestre. Tuttavia è in corso il confronto tra il ministro dello Sport Spatafora e il Cts per l'elaborazione delle nuove line guida. L'obiettivo è consentire l'apertura almeno per le lezioni individuali.
Cinema e teatri
Sarà quasi sicuramente confermata la sospensione di spettacoli aperti al pubblico in sale teatrali, sale da concerto, sale cinematografiche e altri spazi anche all'aperto. Coronavirus, Brusaferro: "Curva in discesa ma molti casi positivi in Rsa e famiglia"

Made In Chelsea star Ashley James has reportedly welcomed her first child with boyfriend Tom Andrews.
The 33-year-old has given birth to her baby boy after her original due date of January 3.
It comes as she and Tom were spotted on Monday morning walking with their dog and pushing their newborn in a pram.
Before giving birth Ashley posted a close-up of her huge baby bump on Instagram explaining that she was in for a wait.
She wrote: ‘I’ve always known that the due date is more of a guesstimate and only about 2% of babies come on their actual date. In France, your due date isn’t until 41 weeks! But it feels weird to still be pregnant going past today, as I was told he was head down and ready 4 weeks ago, so was certain he’d be coming before now. But like I mentioned on stories, as excited as I am to meet him, I’m happy to wait for him to come in his own time. Impatiently waiting for the next chapter.
‘I’ve been trying to cherish every last moment of pregnancy. Appreciating the kicks, being thankful for the way my body has grown. But equally, the last couple of weeks have been harder, mentally and physically.
‘Physically: I’ve been constantly itchy, my pelvis is sore and swollen, and my belly piercing has started to tear because of the extreme stretching. Walking has kept me fit and active.
‘Mentally: it’s been a weird time of year with the in-between stage of Christmas and New Year anyway, and I feel like I’ve started a new year still awaiting a new chapter. It’s also weird because you’re bombarded with messages asking if the baby is here, or telling you things you can do to hurry to process (all well intentioned messages), and you’re just out here waiting. Even the pregnancy apps stop updating you!’
The mum-to-be has been spending the extra time getting ready for her son’s arrival, including researching how to swaddle, setting up his baby monitor and stocking up on nappies.
Ashley continued: ‘I’m so excited to experience childbirth and can’t wait to meet the little guy I’ve carried round the last 280 days. I can’t wait to introduce him to you, and continue to share the highs and lows.’
The DJ and influencer, who was single for six years before finding love with Tom in 2019, shared her baby news in July last year.
She revealed that it totally changed her life in a matter of months despite ‘never being that maternal’.
Ashley said: From the moment I found out, it felt so right.
‘It’s been such a 360-degree shift for me. I’ve never been that maternal.
‘When friends have been like, “I want to meet someone, settle down and have children,” I never felt the same, I guess I’ve been a free spirit.’
Ashley and Tom met at work 10 years ago and reunited in 2019 with a romance developing between them.

WA’s overlooked megastar: Liam Hendriks’ 10-year baseball battle sees massive pitcher payday

Most Western Australians would know Daniel Ricciardo as WA’s highest paid sporting export but few could probably name the Wanneroo baseball product set to sign a $70 million deal with Chicago.
Liam Hendriks, 31, spent nearly a decade clinging to a pro career, bouncing between more than a dozen major and minor league teams, before an Oakland teammate’s injury set up a breakout year and what will likely be the biggest contract for a relief pitcher in MLB history.
Relievers’ importance have grown with modern baseball, finishing off or saving wins for their team as starting pitchers are rested. Hendriks’ four-year deal, pending medical examination, shows the increased value for the role with the Sacred Heart graduate set to earn nearly $48,000 a day.
Perth manager Andy Kyle coached and played alongside Hendriks with the Heat and recognised the youngster’s potential to become one of Australia’s greats, as well as the grit to withstand pro sports brutality.
“He was always going to do well, he had that slight arrogance that all elite players need and a real self belief that he could get the job done, even as a young kid,” Kyle said last night.
“Graeme Lloyd pitched in a couple World Series with the (New York) Yankees, Dave Nillson was a catcher with the (Boston) Bruins but the numbers Liam’s put up over the last few years and his current deal probably puts him on top of that list.”
A talented junior footballer and the son of West Perth 170-gamer Geoff Hendriks, Liam was almost lost to baseball altogether interviewing with West Coast as a father-son draft option before eventually deciding to sign with the Minnesota Twins at 18 years of age.
His time with the Twins was short lived and an eight-year tour of North America followed before a final trip to the minors in 2018 forced Hendriks to change his mindset or give-up his MLB dream.
“I kind of scrapped everything everyone else was telling me, I went back to doing what I did back in Perth when I was coming up,” Hendriks said in 2020.
“In 2019 I kind of had that approach of making sure no matter who was in the box, no matter who I was facing, I knew I was better than them and went out there and tried to prove it every time.”
The book ‘Moneyball’ made the A’s famous internationally, detailing the story of executive Billy Beane used analytics to find undervalued talent. In a similar way, a near worthless MLB prospect Hendriks emerged as the Oakland’s preferred closer in 2019 and would be named an All-Star later that year.
He backed up that effort in 2020 with an All-MLB nod after saving 39 games for the A’s over the last two seasons, before heading into free agency as one of the top available assets before the 2021 season.
Hendriks credits his wife Kristi, for the drastic rise to success and while he’s known as an intimidating figure on the mound, off-field the pair are involved in multiple philanthropic efforts including clean water and irrigation funds for the Dominican Republic, as well as promoting dog rescue programs.
“She grew up as a figure skater, he told The Australian in September, “it is a hard-mentality, tough-love coaching. Sometimes I need a kick in the arse, she humbles me and brings me back to Earth. I guarantee I would not be where I am today without her.”
Coach Kyle and Heat players were proud of Hendrik’s achievement and hoped that his new contract and introduction into Australian sports top earners list would not only come with the recognition their former teammate deserved but would also provide inspiration for the next generation of baseballers.
“He’s in the mid 90s now with his fast ball now, touching 98 mp/h (157 km/h) and now has found his spot in the ball pen and is one of the premier closers in baseball.”
“We feel like he hasn’t got the press he deserves here over the last couple of years so it’s great for him to be valued and get his pay check for a lot of service for his time,” he said.
“It gives hope for everyone, there’s kids coming through trying to reach their dream that it’s possible.”

Indonesia has identified a victim from the Sriwijaya Air crash as emergency crews prepare to send in a remotely operated underwater vehicle to search for the jet's cockpit recorders in the sea.
The Boeing 737-500 plane with 62 people on board plunged into the Java Sea two days ago, minutes after taking off from Jakarta's main airport.
Divers scoured the sea bed on Monday, retrieving human remains, personal possessions and pieces of plane wreckage until fading light ended the search, emergency officials said.
Okky Bisma, a flight attendant on the plane, was identified by his fingerprints, a police official told reporters
"The quicker we can find victims, the better," search and rescue operation director Rasman MS said.
The Boeing 737-500 jet was headed on a domestic flight to Pontianak on Borneo island, about 740km from Jakarta, on Saturday before it disappeared from radar screens.
It was the second major air crash in Indonesia since 189 passengers and crew were killed in 2018 when a Lion Air Boeing 737 MAX also plunged into the Java Sea soon after taking off.
The jet that crashed on Saturday is a largely different design.
The search team had narrowed down the suspected location of the "black box" flight recorders and the remote-controlled vehicle would help scan the sea bed, navy chief of staff Yudo Margono said.
"There is so much debris down there and we have only lifted a few pieces. Hopefully, as we take out more they (the recorders) can be found," Yudo told reporters aboard a ship.
Nurcahyo Utomo, an investigator at Indonesia's National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT), said the jet may have been intact before it hit the water, given the debris appeared to have scattered in a relatively tight area underwater.
Once the flight data and cockpit voice recorders are found, the KNKT expects to be able to read the information in three days, Nurcahyo said.
The US National Transportation Safety Board will automatically be involved in the investigation, with technical support from Boeing as needed.
Tracking service Flightradar24 said the aircraft took off at 2.36pm local time and climbed to 10,900 feet within four minutes.
It then began a steep descent and stopped transmitting data 21 seconds later.
The Sriwijaya Air plane was nearly 27 years old, much older than Boeing's problem-plagued 737 MAX model.
Older 737 models are widely flown and do not have the stall-prevention system implicated in the MAX safety crisis.
With few immediate clues on what caused a catastrophic loss of control after take-off, investigators will rely heavily on retrieving the two flight recorders intact from the seabed.
They will also study maintenance and engine records, pilot rosters and training, air traffic recordings and other data.

文在寅大統領が新年演説 慰安婦裁判に言及せず

【ソウル＝相坂穣】韓国の文在寅（ムンジェイン）大統領は１１日、新年演説をし、未来志向の日韓関係を求める一方、ソウル中央地裁が８日に日本政府に元慰安婦らへの賠償を命じた判決には言及しなかった。米国で発足するバイデン新政権との米韓同盟の強化を目指し、北朝鮮の非核化に「最後の努力を尽くす」と強調した。
８日の地裁判決について日本政府が１９６５年の日韓請求権協定に反するとし、韓国政府に是正措置を求めていたが、文氏は対応策を明らかにしなかった。
日韓関係について、日中や東南アジアなど周辺国との経済連携の成果を強調した後、「未来志向的な発展のために、引き続き努力する」と付け加えた。日本政府が２０１９年に輸出管理規制を強化したことについては「企業の協力で規制の波に勝ち、新たな成長力を育てる」と語った。
南北関係では、新型コロナウイルス防疫での協力をきっかけに、金正恩（キムジョンウン）政権と対話を再開したい考えを強調した。朝鮮労働党大会で正恩氏は「南朝鮮（韓国）は防疫協力など非本質的な問題を持ち出している」と批判しているが、文氏は正恩氏に「いつ、どこでも会いたい」とし、オンライン協議も可能だと提案した。
全体で約２５分間に及んだ演説では、「Ｋ防疫」と自賛するコロナ防疫関連の発言が目立ち、全国民を対象にワクチンの無料接種を２月から始めると表明した。感染第三波や検察改革を巡る混乱で低下した支持率の回復を意識したとみられるが、世論調査機関リアルメーターが１１日発表した結果では、支持率は３５・５％、不支持率は６０・９％と厳しい評価が続いた。

India reportedly complain about the Brisbane hotel where side prepare for deciding Test against Australia

India’s cricket board has reportedly complained to Cricket Australia (CA) about several aspects of the Brisbane bubble that Ajinkya Rahane’s team will call home until the Test series ends.
The tourists had been reluctant to travel to Queensland’s capital for the series decider that begins at the Gabba on Friday, worried about what sort of biosecurity restrictions could be on the cards.
Queensland’s border is currently closed to travellers from Sydney because of COVID-19 cases, meaning Australia and India’s squads had to shuffle into hotel quarantine after their chartered flight touched down in Brisbane.
The state government has provided exemptions for players to train and play at the Gabba, and mingle in communal areas of the inner-city hotel that has been booked out entirely by CA.
CA chief executive Nick Hockley could be forgiven for breathing a sigh of relief on Monday after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) agreed to arrangements proposed by the home board and Queensland officials.
But the tourists made it clear to CA after Tuesday’s check-in that their experience did not meet expectations, according to several media outlets in India.
India’s concerns reportedly included the standard of the gym, the fact that the hotel pool and restaurant were closed, and absence of room service and housekeeping.
There is a three-day break between the third and fourth Tests, with the injury- riddled touring party keen to ensure its players can recover as well as possible while in lockdown.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah and chief executive Hemang Amin all reportedly raised concerns about what they were hearing from the team on the ground.
The Times of India quoted an unnamed senior BCCI official, who claimed that CA gave fresh assurances on Tuesday regarding hotel facilities.
“The board has been told that the team has been given access to all the lifts in the hotel. They can use a gym too. It has been assured that there will be room service and housekeeping,” the BCCI official said.
“The team has also been given a team room where they can assemble and have meetings. Only the swimming pool is not open.
“The players are exhausted and have retired to their rooms. But they would like to go out for a stroll later ... BCCI is always by the side of its players and will ensure they get the best treatment.”

LOCKDOWN was reintroduced in England earlier this month, but the Government is facing calls to toughen restrictions. So what rules could the Government bring in to make lockdown rules tougher?

LOCKDOWN was reintroduced in England earlier this month, but the Government is facing calls to toughen restrictions. So what rules could the Government bring in to make lockdown rules tougher?
Coronavirus cases in the UK remain at worrying levels, and the latest legislation for the third national lockdown allows for measures to remain in place until the end of March. The vaccine rollout programme is underway, but before everyone has been vaccinated the Government is urging people to stick to the current lockdown rules to get the rate of Covid transmission down in the UK.
On January 10, the UK reported a staggering 54,940 cases of Covid-19, and 563 deaths within 28 days of a positive test.
England’s Chief Medical Officer, Professor Chris Whitty, has urged people to “stay at home unless you absolutely have to”.
Professor Whitty has also warned the next few weeks will be the “worst weeks of the pandemic” as Covid cases continue to mount.
He said today: “What we need to do before the vaccines have had their effect… is we need to really double down: this is everybody’s problem.

“Any single unnecessary contact you have with someone is a potential link in a chain of transmission that will lead to a vulnerable person.
“We’ve all got to as individuals help the NHS, help our fellow citizens by minimising the amount of unnecessary contacts we have.”
The Government is also facing calls to review lockdown restrictions from political opponents.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: "So we're in this extraordinary situation where having got to at least as serious if not a more serious position than of March last year, we've got lesser restrictions in place and we need those in place as quickly as possible.
"I do think that the vast majority of the public are complying with the rules."
One aspect of lockdown which could be reviewed is the current guidance which allows nurseries to remain open during lockdown.
Sir Keir said nurseries being open "needs to be looked at", and suggested that house viewings should also be reconsidered.
Calum Semple, a paediatrician and a fellow member of SAGE, told BBC Breakfast: "If we’ve gotten to the point of closing the universities, secondary schools and primary schools on the grounds of public health, then I would be looking to close all other non-essential activities.
"And it may be that a political decision has been made here that nurseries are essential. But it’s not a scientific one."

Currently, people in single-person or single-parent households can form a support bubble with another household.
The support bubble guidance was not in place during the first national lockdown in March, which succeeded in bringing the number of Covid cases significantly down.
The Government may consider tightening up the rules regarding support bubbles to decrease the rate of Covid transmission.
Leaving home for exercise is also one of the few permitted reasons someone can currently leave their home.
The Government is currently allowing one person to meet with another person from outside their household in a public outdoor setting, but there has been suggestions this rule could be scrapped.
Reports suggest the Government is concerned people are using the rule of meeting one person outside as cause to socialise.
A Government source is said to have told the Telegraph that the allowance was "being used as an excuse for people to go for a coffee in the park with their friends", adding: "It may be we tighten up on things like that."
The Times reported supermarket bosses may soon be briefed to get tougher with enforcing social distancing rules in stores.
Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi has raised concerns that people are not complying with lockdown rules closely enough.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “We don't want to use tougher measures, the lockdown is tough, schools are shut, but it is important to remember this virus loves social interactions.
"We're reviewing all the restrictions, but these are pretty tough at the moment.
“I am worried about supermarkets and people actually wearing masks and following the one-way system and making sure when it's at capacity they wait outside the supermarket.
"I'm worried about some of the pictures I've seen of social interactions in parks, if you have to exercise you can go out for exercise only."
There may be stricter enforcement of face covering use inside public spaces, such as in supermarkets.
Some reports have also indicated the use of face coverings could become mandatory in busy outdoor spaces.

Bridgerton’s Rege-Jean Page has responded to rumours he is dating co-star Phoebe Dynevor.
The pair’s on-screen chemistry has led people to speculate about a possible romance away from the drama, after the actors made such a big impact together on the hit Netflix show.
However, Rege-Jean has spoken about the rumours, saying that while they are close, the pair are definitely not an item.
Speaking to Access Hollywood, Rege-Jean said: ‘I think that everything you need to know is on camera. All the sparks that flew came off the beautiful scripts we were handed.’
He added: ‘So I think that the sparky words, scripts and material are more than enough.’
Rege-Jean and Phoebe, who play Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton respectively, are two of the breakout stars from the hit regency drama.
The show follows the Bridgerton family, focusing on Daphne Bridgerton’s love life as she makes her way in society and falls in love.
Bridgerton marks a real breakthrough for Rege-Jean, who has been linked with the role of James Bond after his impressive performance as dashing bachelor Simon Basset.
Fans are now campaigning for him to replace Daniel Craig as 007, with the actor saying he was ‘flattered’ by the links to the role.
Referring to Bond rumours, he said on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon: ‘I think there might be an element of cultural translation to be done here. Like if you’re a Brit, and you do something of any kind of renown that people regard well, then people start saying the “B” word.
‘I’m very, very glad to have the badge. I’m glad to be in such wonderful company of people who have the badge. But it’s a badge.’
Meanwhile, fans online have pointed out that Bridgerton star Phoebe once starred in Waterloo Road and she looked completely different.
Bridgerton is available to stream now on Netflix.

Zach Braff pitches himself to play Jon Ossoff on Saturday Night Live

All eyes are on the Georgia Senate runoff races after the election on Tuesday, with Zach Braff getting out in front of the race, from an acting standpoint.
The 45-year-old actor took to Twitter on Tuesday night, pitching himself to Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels to play Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Jon Ossoff.
'Lorne. I got this. @nbcsnl' Braff said, while also shared a GIF of Ossoff stating, 'Our health is on the line,' illustrating how much of a likeness he bears to Ossoff.
Another fan even took things to another level, by suggesting that not only should Braff play Ossoff, but his Scrubs co-star Donald Faison should play the other Democratic Senate candidate, Ralphael Warnock.
As of late Tuesday night, both Ossoff and Warnock were leading their races, with 97% of Georgia precincts reporting.
If Ossoff and Warnock both do in fact win their runoff elections, they will flip the United States Senate, which will be controlled by a Democratic majority.
Their wins would clearly be huge news, which would certainly be reflected on the always-topical Saturday Night Live.
However, it is not clear yet when the show will return from its holiday hiatus quite yet, or who will host the first episodes of 2021.
If Braff does return to Studio 8H to play Ossoff, it would be the first time he's done so since his first and only hosting stint back in 2007, with musical guests Maroon 5.
Politics has been front-and-center at SNL over the past few years, with Alec Baldwin winning an Emmy for portraying Donald Trump.
Maya Rudolph has returned to the show - where she starred as a regular cast member from 2000 to 2007 - to portray Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris.
While Jim Carrey had been brought on to portray President-Elect Joe Biden earlier this year, it was revealed on the final show of 2020 that Alex Moffat was taking over.
Braff has two movies lined up for 2021, Percy, with Adam Beach and Martin Donovan, and The Comeback Trail with Robert De Niro, Tommy Lee Jones and Morgan Freeman.
He is currently filming Shriver with Michael Shannon, Kate Hudson, Peyton List and Don Johnson, which doesn't have a release date yet.
The actor is also attached to star in Tiburon, following a young family trapped in a flood who must make some harrowing decisions.

Gli italiani progettano una vacanza tra giugno e settembre. Nel 2020, oltre 78 milioni di arrivi in meno

ROMA - "Il 2020 si chiude con meno 78 milioni di arrivi e meno 240 milioni di presenze turistiche in Italia, ai quali va aggiunta l'ulteriore perdita dei circa 36 milioni di italiani che non sono andati all'estero. Le lancette dell'orologio del turismo sono tornate indietro di 30 anni".
L'amaro bilancio è di Luca Patanè, presidente di Confturismo Confcommercio. "Eppure, non solo nella legge di bilancio 2021 per il turismo c'è ben poco, ma ad oggi non abbiamo visto neanche un progetto vero e proprio per il settore nella pianificazione per accedere al Recovery Fund" aggiunge.
"Confturismo-Confcommercio - dice Patanè - ha presentato da tempo proposte a tutti i livelli, ma, concretamente, non è accaduto nulla, neanche la più volte annunciata apertura del tavolo per aggiornare il Piano strategico del turismo, fermo al 2017. E' ora di consultarci, di considerare le nostre proposte, di investire sulle nostre imprese, altrimenti sarà il Paese, non solo il nostro settore, a pagarne pesantissime conseguenze".
Viaggi spontanei e coccolati: i trend del turismo 2021 di Alessandra Favaro 08 Gennaio 2021
Intanto un'indagine Swg - sempre per conto di Confturismo Confcommercio - rivela che tre italiani su 10 programmano un break di massimo 3 giorni entro febbraio. "Un'idea, più che un vero e proprio programma di vacanza visto che, fra questi, il 72% non ha ancora scelto la destinazione né tanto meno prenotato, e la stragrande maggioranza delle preferenze si indirizzano verso seconde case di proprietà o di amici. Insomma, non è turismo", in senso stretto.
Il secondo scenario "è quello delle previsioni a più lunga scadenza, dove gli italiani sembrano puntare a una vacanza di 3/7 giorni tra giugno e luglio, nel 28% dei casi, e di oltre 7 giorni tra luglio e settembre, per uno su due. Questo naturalmente a patto che l'epidemia torni davvero sotto controllo, non ci siano nuove ondate di contagi e il vaccino funzioni come si spera".
"Nel complesso, sono sempre le località di mare ad attrarre di più per i progetti di vacanze, soprattutto se di maggiore durata, mentre per quelle più brevi le città d'arte - soprattutto di Toscana, Lazio ed Emilia Romagna - scelte dal 17% degli intervistati, tornano finalmente a competere con la montagna: un guizzo di positività per la tipologia di destinazione più duramente colpita dalla crisi Covid".
Mentre, osserva l'organizzazione delle imprese, "per i viaggi all'estero il panorama si restringe ancora di più. In bilancio sì, ma da primavera in poi, per un Italiano su 4 e quasi esclusivamente in Europa, dove la Grecia si conferma fortemente attrattiva. Il ritorno alla mente degli italiani di destinazioni del medio-lungo raggio, come il Mar Rosso, gli Stati Uniti e tutta l'area caraibica, a partire da Cuba e Santo Domingo, anche se riguarda solo 6 intervistati su 100, lo prendiamo come un buon auspicio per il nostro sistema del turismo organizzato: non può valere nulla di più, almeno per ora".

Von Reisen und Familientreffen über Weihnachten und Silvester war in vielen Bundesstaaten abgeraten worden. Fußball-Star Alex Morgan und ihre Familie machen sich trotzdem auf den Weg und infizieren sich mit Sars-CoV-2. Angaben zu Symptomen macht die 31-Jährige nicht.
Fußball-Star Alex Morgan ist positiv auf das Coronavirus getestet worden. Dies teilte die zweimalige Weltmeisterin selbst bei Twitter mit. "Unglücklicherweise haben meine Familie und ich zum Ende von 2020 herausgefunden, dass wir uns mit Covid-19 angesteckt haben, als wir über die Feiertage in Kalifornien waren", schrieb die Kapitänin der amerikanischen Nationalmannschaft.
Die USA sind von der Pandemie stark betroffen und haben weltweit mehr infizierte Menschen registriert als jedes andere Land. Zuletzt waren knapp 4000 Menschen binnen 24 Stunden an oder mit dem Coronavirus gestorben. Und damit so viele wie noch nie seit Beginn der Pandemie. Von Reisen und Familientreffen über Weihnachten und Silvester war in vielen Bundesstaaten abgeraten worden.
Eigentlich sollte die 31-Jährige beim ersten Lehrgang der US-Auswahl im Januar dabei sein, worauf sie nun allerdings verzichten muss. "Wir sind alle guter Dinge und erholen uns gut", schrieb Morgan derweil weiter. Genaue Angaben zu möglichen Symptomen machte sie nicht. Nach der Isolation wolle Morgan in Übereinstimmung mit den Verbandsregularien wieder in den Spiel- und Trainingsalltag einsteigen.
Morgan hatte zum Ende des vergangenen Jahres fünf Spiele für Tottenham Hotspur in England absolviert, kehrte danach aber wieder in die USA zurück, wo sie in Zukunft wieder für Orlando Pride spielen will. Die Stürmerin ist eine der populärsten Fußballerin der Welt, auf Instagram folgen ihr mehr als neun Millionen Menschen. 2012 hatte Morgan die Goldmedaille beim olympischen Fußballturnier gewonnen. 2015 und 2019 holte sie mit den USA den Weltmeistertitel.

Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has set another scoring record as he became the first player to net at least 15 goals in each of the last 15 seasons in Europe's top five leagues.
The 35-year-old Portuguese star fired a low diagonal shot into the bottom corner to seal a 3-1 win for his side against Sassuolo in stoppage time on Sunday.
It took his tally to 15 goals in 13 Serie A appearances this season, a goal landmark he has reached every year since the 2006-07 campaign, during spells with Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juve.
The record applies to the top five leagues in the UEFA country coefficient: Spain's La Liga, England's Premier League, Italy's Serie A, Germany's Bundesliga and France's Ligue 1.
Ronaldo joined Juventus in the summer of 2018 and has won back-to-back league titles in Turin, scoring a total of 84 goals in 104 appearances for the club.
The Portugal captain has now netted a remarkable 759 goals for club and country and holds a plethora of individual records.
They include being the all-time top scorer for Real Madrid (450 goals) and the Portugal national team (102), as well as the top scorer in Champions League history (134).

THE EUROPEAN UNION is "ill-equipped" to challenge the likes of the US and China, as the bloc was chastised for agreeing a trade pact in principle with Beijing by Washington.

THE EUROPEAN UNION is "ill-equipped" to challenge the likes of the US and China, as the bloc was chastised for agreeing a trade pact in principle with Beijing by Washington.
Negotiations over an EU-China trade agreement were initially approved on New Year's Eve, after talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proved successful. After its confirmation, outrage was sparked within Washington as it feared a new deal could "complicate policy" between Brussels and the US. This could lead to major issues for the bloc as it struggles to maintain ties with both wealthy nations.
Other criticisms included China's demand to have access to the EU's energy sector, with some political analysts - including Phar Kim Beng, claiming such an agreement "exposes European weakness".
The weaknesses described were also exposed by Brussels' former trade negotiator Cecilia Malmstrom, who said her time working for the EU had demonstrated that the bloc was unable to cope with the likes of China and the US.
She explained that for the bloc to further its influence it "needed to be tougher", while ensuring it had a more "centralised foreign policy and stronger rules to ensure EU companies could compete" on level terms with their global counterparts.
Ms Malmstrom worked in Brussels for five years, but said "for all its successes, the EU is not really equipped to deal with a changing world".
In 2019, Ms Malmstrom, who describes herself as a "proud liberal" told the Financial Times that the EU had "serious thinking" to do about how it should tackle "this aggressive China".
The talks between China and the EU began in 2014, and the new pact is described by the European Commission as a deal that "will create a better balance" in trade relations.
In a statement after the deal's proposal was announced, the Commission added Brussels has "traditionally been much more open than China to foreign investment... but China now commits to open up to the EU in a number of key sectors".

Major players in Washington were left furious with their European counterparts, particularly their decision to ensure a pact is made while the US readies itself for a new administration to enter the White House.
President-elect Joe Biden is set to enter office in the coming days, and politicians across both the Republican and Democrat parties snapped at Brussels.
Matt Pottinger, incumbent US President Donald Trump’s deputy national security adviser, said in a statement this month: "Leaders in both US political parties and across the US government are perplexed and stunned that the EU is moving towards a new investment treaty right on the eve of a new US administration.”

He also warned of damage between relations, arguing "there is nowhere for bureaucrats in Brussels or Europe to hide".
Mr Pottinger added: "We can no longer kid ourselves that Beijing is on the verge of honouring labour rights, while it continues to build millions of square feet of factories for forced labour in Xinjiang.”
Mr Biden's nominee for national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, claimed the new administration wanted "early consultations with our European partners on our common concerns about China's economic practices".
Writing in the South China Morning Post, Mr Beng argued the agreement had "exposed the EU as a weaker economic and geopolitical actor".
Even insiders in Brussels were furious, including Reinhard Bütikofer, chair of the European Parliament's delegation for relations with China, who claimed that the deal was "misguided".
Writing on Twitter, he added: “It helps EU sovereignty more if we demonstrate that we know when to stand tall to China. And to align with partners.”
Among the main forces behind securing the deal was German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
It emerged that she was aiming to get a deal secured as Germany is one of China's biggest car exporters, and in recent times the industry in Berlin has been close to crumbling.
Political commentator Gideon Rachman reported in the Financial Times this week that while some "arguments are reasonable enough", Brussels could be struck by the US later down the line.
He added: "It is hard to look at current events in Washington and feel totally confident about the stability of the US or the Atlantic alliance. A European desire to avoid military confrontation in the Pacific is also rational.
"But relying on an American security guarantee in Europe, while undermining American security policy in the Pacific, does not look like a wise or sustainable policy over the long run."

MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry invited Deepak Chopra onto the first episode of their Spotify podcast, Archewell Audio but the author and alternative medicine advocate is actually a very controversial figure, having been accused of promoting pseudoscience and "New Age quackery".

MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry invited Deepak Chopra onto the first episode of their Spotify podcast, Archewell Audio but the author and alternative medicine advocate is actually a very controversial figure, having been accused of promoting pseudoscience and "New Age quackery".
Mr Chopra is a prominent figure in the New Age movement, with his books and videos making him one of the most famous and wealthy people in the field. However, he has also come under fire for the promotion of supposed treatments for which there is no evidence it actually helps treat disease, most notably Ayurvedic medicine. Although many medical and scientific professionals have branded it pseudoscience, Mr Chopra has earned a lot of money for his teachings and is now worth an estimated $150million (£111million).
One critic, philosopher Robert Carroll said he “charges $25,000 (£18,500) per lecture performance where he spouts a few platitudes and gives spiritual advice while warning against the ill effects of materialism”.
Mr Chopra’s theory about healing attempts to integrate Ayurveda with the physics theory of quantum mechanics.
Ayurveda is an alternative medicine system originating in India for which there is no evidence of efficacy and the Indian Medical Association has characterised the practice of modern medicine by Ayurvedic practitioners as quackery.
Quantum mechanics is a theory that explains how the universe works at a scale smaller than atoms, describing how energy moves or interacts.
Mr Chopra says what he called “quantum healing”, whereby a person’s health “imbalance” is corrected by quantum mechanical means, can cure any manner of illnesses including cancer.

In his book ‘Quantum Healing’, he defined it as the “ability of one mode of consciousness (the mind) to spontaneously correct the mistakes in another mode of consciousness (the body)”, in other words, one can cure oneself with sheer willpower.
He has equated spontaneous remission in cancer to a change in quantum state, corresponding to a jump to “a new level of consciousness that prohibits the existence of cancer”.
Physics professor Robert L Park dubbed this “New Age quackery” and characterised his theory about cancer as a cruel fiction, because it can make people feel like it is their own fault for not getting better, compounding the ill effects of the disease with guilt.
What’s more, it can cause direct harm in luring people away from legitimate, effective treatments and even rule out the prospect of getting a genuine cure.
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins said Mr Chopra uses “quantum jargon as plausible-sounding hocus-pocus”.
Critics also argue Mr Chopra’s treatments generally elicit nothing but a placebo response and that the unfounded claims may give “false hope”.
The scientific community widely view the connection Mr Chphra has drawn between quantum mechanics and alternative medicine as being invalid.
The main criticism is that macroscopic objects ‒ those large enough to be seen by the naked eye ‒ are too large to exhibit inherently quantum properties like interference and wave function collapse.
Most literature on so-called quantum healing is almost entirely theosophical and omits the rigorous maths that makes quantum electrodynamics possible.
Physics professor Brian Cox has branded Mr Chopra’s claims about quantum healing a “systematic misinterpretation of modern physics”.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have arguably promoted Mr Chopra’s teachings, albeit indirectly, by having him on their podcast.
Not only are they not based on the real scientific literature, but they can cause real harm to sick people.
This is especially controversial during a pandemic, when effective, evidence-based treatments and preventions are more important than ever.
Prince Charles came under fire for something similar last year, when he claimed a loss of biodiversity was the reason pandemics happen.
He told Sky News in June that humanity was “paying the price” for the way it has treated the planet, specifically commenting on the fact that more species are going extinct all the time.
He added that he is worried further pandemics may occur if this is not corrected.
The Prince of Wales said: “The more we erode the natural world, the more we destroy what’s called biodiversity, which is the immense diversity of life, plant life, tree life, everything else, marine life, the more we expose ourselves to this kind of danger.
“We’ve had these other disasters with SARS and Ebola and goodness knows what else, all of these things are related to the loss of biodiversity.”
Top virologists told Express.co.uk that the issue is far more complicated than Charles seemed to be implying and one even said his claims were “not scientifically accurate”.
Professor Keith Neal, Emeritus Professor of the Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases at the University of Nottingham, warned that too many people without the scientific backing were making claims as if they have expertise in the matter.
He said: “Too many people without scientific knowledge are commenting as if they have expertise.
“Technically pandemics are caused by too much biodiversity in wet markets, but as we threaten biodiversity and encroach on wild animals we are forcing more human-animal contacts, so we increase risk.
“Ebola in West Africa is thought most likely to have come from a child playing in a tree where there were bats.
“Clearly there are many opportunities for contact; these markets are still open - technically for Chinese medicines, but the risk persists.
“There are many bushmeat markets across Africa.
“So Charles is not completely wrong in spirit, but not scientifically accurate.”

Şehitkamil Belediyesi tarafından Karacaahmet Mahallesi’nde yapılacak olan yeni parkın yer düzenleme ve yol açma çalışmalarına başlanıldı. Şehitkamil Belediye Başkanı Rıdvan Fadıloğlu, yol açma ve park yeri düzenleme çalışmalarını yerinde inceledi. Daha yeşil ve yaşanabilir bir ilçe için çalışmalarını sürdüren Şehitkamil Belediye Başkanı Rıdvan Fadıloğlu, yeni bir parkı daha ilçeye kazandırmak adına çalışma yürütüyor. Karacaahmet Mahallesi’nde 18 dönümlük alan üzerine kurulması planlanan parkın öncelikli olarak yol açma çalışmaları ve park yeri düzenleme çalışmaları başlatıldı. Şehitkamil Belediyesine bağlı Fen İşleri Müdürlüğü ekipleri, yeni kurulacak parkın, 30 metrelik, 15 metrelik, 12 metrelik ve 8 metrelik genişliğinde 7 farklı yol açma ve park yeri düzenleme çalışmalarını yürütüyor. Şehitkamil Belediye Başkan Yardımcısı Murat Özgüler ile birlikte yürütülen çalışmaları yerinde inceleyen Şehitkamil Belediye Başkanı Rıdvan Fadıloğlu, özveriyle çalışma yürüten ekip arkadaşlarına teşekkür etti. "Nitelikli bir parkı daha milletimizin hizmetine sunacağız" Çalışmaların hızlı bir şekilde ilerlediğini kaydeden Şehitkamil Belediye Başkanı Rıdvan Fadıloğlu, "Şehitkamil Belediyesi olarak Hakim ve Savcılar Lojmanlarının olduğu alandan başlayıp, Fıstıklık Mahallesine giden bölgenin alt kısmında yoğun bir konut yapılıyor. Tabi vatandaşlarımızın yeşil alana ihtiyaç vardı. Şu an üzerinde bulunduğumuz alan 10 bin metrekarelik bir alan. Bu bölgede de yeşil alan elde edebilmek adına kırıcılar ile çalışıyoruz. Burası daha önce de GASKİ’ye ait olan asfalt şantiyesi ve boru şantiyesinin olduğu yer. Üst kısımlarda çok yoğun konut olunca hemen buranın park planlamasına geçtik. Şu an ekiplerimiz, kuracağımız parkın yol açma çalışmalarını ve park yeri düzenleme çalışmalarını aralıksız bir şekilde sürdürüyor. İnşallah kırım işleri bittikten sonra, bahar ile birlikte burada ağaçlama çalışmalarını başlatıp, nitelikli bir parkı daha milletimizin hizmetine sunacağız. Şimdiden tüm vatandaşlarımıza hayırlı olmasını diliyorum" ifadelerini kullandı.

Netflix has come under fire after Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina’s official Twitter account posted an ‘insensitive’ tweet which appeared to make light of Bloody Sunday.
The account shared four behind-the-scenes pictures of various cast members, including Kiernan Shipka and Gavin Leatherwood, covered in blood alongside the caption: ‘sunday bloody sunday.’ (sic)
The tweet has since been deleted.
Unsurprisingly, the post was met with severe backlash on social media with fans urgently calling for an apology to be issued.
‘This is quite literally the most disrespectful captioning on an official account I have ever seen,’ blasted one. ‘How dense do you have to be?’
‘Hi @NetflixUK have you seen this? Probably someone with absolutely no knowledge of Irish history posted this, but an apology should SERIOUSLY be considered,’ added another.
A third wrote: ‘You don’t even need to be Irish to know this caption ain’t it. I’m American and this is literally the equivalent of making a quirky joke about 9/11.’
Bloody Sunday was a massacre in Northern Ireland on January 30th 1972 when British soldiers shot 26 civilians during a protest march against internment without trial.
Many of the victims were shot while fleeing from the soldiers, and some were shot while trying to help the wounded. 14 people died as a result of the attack.
Bloody Sunday is one of the most significant events of the Troubles and is considered the worst mass shooting in Northern Ireland history.
Netflix has yet to apologise over the tweet.
The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is available to stream on Netflix.

GIACARTA - Le autorità aeroportuali indonesiane hanno perso i contatti con un aereo della compagnia Sriwijaya Air con 59 persone a bordo - tra cui 5 bambini e un neonato - partito dalla capitale indonesiana Giacarta e diretto a Pontianak nella provincia Kalimantan Ovest. Lo riferisce il ministero dei Trasporti indonesiano, spiegando che sono in corso le attività di ricerca e soccorso. Metro Tv sostiene che si trattava di un Boeing B737-500.

La compagnia aerea indonesiana Sriwijaya Air sta raccogliendo informazioni più dettagliate prima di rilasciare ogni comunicato.
Il Boeing
Secondo Airfleets.net, il velivolo era stato consegnato alla statunitense Continental Airlines nel 1994 ed era entrato nel 2012 a fare parte della flotta di Sriwijaya Air, un piccolo vettore locale con 9 aerei, tutti appartenenti alla famiglia dei 737: tre della serie 500, otto della 800 e una della 900.
Si tratta di versioni precedenti il 737 Max 8, il modello Boeing coinvolto nei disastri dei voli Lion Air 610 (189 morti il 29 ottobre 2018) e dell'Ethiopian Airlines 302 (157 morti il 10 marzo 2019), dovuti all'errata attivazione, poco dopo la partenza, di un software antistallo sul quale il personale di bordo non era stato adeguatamente informato. Due giorni fa la compagnia aerea statunitense ha patteggiato 2,5 miliardi di dollari per chiudere l'inchiesta penale che era stata avviata in Usa.

Swarovski kämpft ums Überleben

Bei Swarovski läuft es schon länger nicht mehr rund, vor allem die Billigkonkurrenz aus China setzt dem Unternehmen zu. Durch die Corona-Krise sinken die Einnahmen nochmals drastisch. Ein Strategiewechsel und ein radikaler Sparkurs sollen helfen. Doch der interne Widerstand ist groß.
Es funkelt im Teich unter kristallbesetzten Wolken oder vom riesigen Kristallleuchter: Fast alles am Hauptsitz des Kristall-Imperiums Swarovski in Wattens im österreichischen Tirol glitzert und glänzt. Doch der Schein trügt: Hinter den Kulissen tobt ein bitterer Familienstreit über die Zukunft des Unternehmens. 650.000 Touristen, die jährlich auf das Konzerngelände strömten, haben lange die wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten des Familienclans kaschiert. Doch die Corona-Krise hat die Probleme um die Neuausrichtung des Konzerns freigelegt.
125 Jahre nachdem Gründer Daniel Swarovski eine Maschine entwickelte, die Glas so schneidet, dass es wie Diamanten schimmert, regieren seine Ur-Ur-Enkel über ein breit aufgestelltes Unternehmen. Swarovski verkauft Strasssteine für Modemarken, Ferngläser für Jäger sowie Schmuck und Kristallfiguren von Micky Maus bis Prinzessin Leia. Doch Geschäftsführer Robert Buchbauer, fünfte Generation des Familienunternehmens, pocht auf einen drastischen Wandel: "Wir sind gezwungen, unser gesamtes Swarovski-Geschäft neu zu denken", sagt er im Hauptquartier in Wattens.
Swarovskis Kristalle haben zwar die Outfits von Berühmtheiten wie Beyoncé und Marilyn Monroe geschmückt und wurden von Designern wie Christian Dior verwendet, aber laut Buchbauer verlieren sie bei Geschäftskunden ihren Glanz. Kristalle von Konkurrenten aus China funkeln genauso hell - für nur ein Prozent des Preises. Zu diesem ohnehin schon ruinösen Wettbewerb, sagt Buchbauer, kommen durch die Pandemie "Absatzeinbußen in gigantischem Ausmaß". Von 2,7 Milliarden Euro im Jahr 2019 sanken die Einnahmen im vergangenen Jahr auf etwa 1,9 Milliarden Euro. Die seit langem geplanten, tiefgreifenden Einschnitte seien nur noch dringlicher geworden.
Swarovski-Kristalle sollen wieder exklusiver werden
Buchbauer will weg von der breiten Produktpalette, den Maniküre-Sets und Handyhüllen mit Swarovski-Kristallen. Er möchte die glitzernden Steine wieder exklusiver machen; weniger, dafür größere und buntere Produkte herstellen, die zu einem höheren Preis verkauft werden. Zudem sollen 750 der weltweit 3000 Filialen schließen, 6000 Mitarbeiter gehen. Allein in Wattens sollen 1800 Angestellte ihren Job verlieren.
Doch nicht alle im Unternehmen denken, dass Buchbauer die richtige Strategie fährt. Sie sind überzeugt, dass die Kunden, die sich bereits der billigeren Konkurrenz zugewandt haben, keine höheren Preise zahlen werden. Paul Swarovski etwa, Aktionär und ehemaliges Vorstandsmitglied, will Buchbauers Pläne stoppen, "bevor alles den Bach heruntergeht". Ihm haben sich Nadja Swarovski, eines von drei Vorstandsmitgliedern, sowie ihr Vater Helmut und ihr Onkel Gerhard angeschlossen.
In der hart umkämpften Luxusgüterbranche ist Swarovski eines der wenigen Unternehmen, das sich noch vollständig in Familienbesitz befindet. Es besteht aus mehreren Kommanditgesellschaften - nach einhelliger Meinung eine hinderliche Struktur für das heute internationale Milliardengeschäft.
Umzug in die Schweiz?
Buchbauer, der im April zum ersten Geschäftsführer von Swarovski überhaupt ernannt wurde, gewann die breite Zustimmung der Familie für seinen Vorschlag, das Schmuckimperium in Wattens unter das Dach einer Holdinggesellschaft zu bringen. 80 Prozent der Anteilseigner votierten dafür. Doch Nadja, Helmut, Gerhard und Paul Swarovski legten Einspruch gegen den Plan ein. Sie wollen Buchbauers Schritt annullieren lassen - und ihn loswerden.
Die Frustration unter den Mitarbeitern ist groß, wie Gewerkschaftsvertreterin Selina Stärz sagt. In einer ansonsten vom Tourismus abhängigen Region, in der Swarovski der größte Einzelarbeitgeber ist, fürchten viele um ihre berufliche Zukunft. Hartnäckig hält sich das Gerücht, dass der gesamte Betrieb in die benachbarte Schweiz verlagert werden soll. An die Strategie von Buchbauer mag Gewerkschafterin Stärz nicht glauben: "Die Superreichen brauchen unsere Swarovski-Kristalle nicht. Die können Diamanten kaufen", sagt sie.

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is ‘too good’ for the club and is being ‘wasted’ under Frank Lampard.
|
Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic is ‘too good’ for the club and is being ‘wasted’ under Frank Lampard.
That’s the view of former United States international Alexi Lalas, who is unimpressed with the standard of players Pulisic is playing with at Stamford Bridge.
Pulisic impressed during his first season at the club last term, scoring 11 goals in 34 appearances for the Blues.
However, his second campaign has been injury-hit and he’s struggled for consistency in an inconsistent Chelsea side.
But Lalas – who played 96 times for the US Men’s National Team – says his compatriot has shown he’s ‘too good’ for Chelsea and that the club need to sign better players to play alongside him.
‘I’m saying it now. Christian Pulisic is too good for Chelsea. His talent is wasted in this Chelsea team,” Lalas told the State of the Union Podcast.
‘In the loss against Manchester City last week, he was fantastic. He was the only player in Chelsea who tried.
‘He needs better players around him.’
Chelsea take on rivals Fulham at Craven Cottage on Friday, where Pulisic will be hoping to start.
The Blues have dropped to ninth in the Premier League, winning just one of their last five matches.
Lampard’s side got back to winning ways with a 4-0 win against Morecambe on Saturday thanks to goals from Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

GRETA THUNBERG has hit out at Boris Johnson's plan for a green industrial revolution in a sarcastic tweet.
The environmental campaigner, 18, took to Twitter in response to reports a bee-killing pesticide banned in the EU may now be used in Britain. She also hit out at the Government for deciding not to intervene in plans for the UK's first deep coal mine in 30 years.
Ms Thunberg sarcastically said the green industrial revolution was off to a "great start".
She tweeted on Saturday: "UK government has announced 'a bee-killing pesticide so poisonous that it is banned by the EU' may be used in England.
"New coal mines and pesticides... the UK's so called 'green industrial revolution' is off to a great start.
"Very credible indeed."
In another tweet posted last week, Ms Thunberg raged over the Government's decision not to intervene in plans for the coal mine in Whitehaven.
She insisted it proves that the UK's target of hitting net zero emissions by 2050 "basically means nothing".
She fumed: "The UK government has decided not to intervene with the plans of opening a brand new English coal mine.
"This really shows the true meaning of so called 'net zero 2050'.

"These vague, insufficient targets long into the future basically mean nothing today."
Ms Thunberg's criticism comes after Mr Johnson outlined a 10-point plan in November for a "green industrial revolution".
The Prime Minister said: "Although this year has taken a very different path to the one we expected, I haven’t lost sight of our ambitious plans to level up across the country.
"My Ten Point Plan will create, support and protect hundreds of thousands of green jobs, whilst making strides towards net zero by 2050.

"Our green industrial revolution will be powered by the wind turbines of Scotland and the North East, propelled by the electric vehicles made in the Midlands and advanced by the latest technologies developed in Wales, so we can look ahead to a more prosperous, greener future."
In a tweet to mark her 18th birthday earlier this month, Ms Thuberg mocked conspiracy claims made about her.
She said: “Thank you so much for all the well-wishers on my 18th birthday.
“Tonight you will find me down at the local pub exposing all the dark secrets behind the climate and school strike conspiracy and my evil handlers who can no longer control me!
"I am free at last!!”
Ms Thunberg hit the headlines when she was 15 when she missed school to protest against climate change outside the Swedish parliament.

Conor McGregor has promised to knock Dustin Poirier out within one minute in their rematch at UFC 257 on 24 January.
The Notorious returns to the Octagon for the first time in just over a year when he takes on Poirier for the second time, having despatched the Diamond in under two minutes in their first meeting back in 2014.
Much has changed since that first clash at featherweight, with the rematch taking place at lightweight, a division in which both men have held UFC gold since their initial meeting.
Both men have been submitted by Khabib Nurmagomedov since they fought and they are both hoping to take the lightweight title still held by the Eagle, despite him announcing his retirement in October.
McGregor is expecting to put himself at the front of the queue to claim the belt with an emphatic victory, promising to stop Poirier even more quickly than he did in their first bout.
‘I like Dustin. I think he’s a good fighter,’ McGregor said in a UFC promotional video. ‘He’s even a great fighter. But great is still levels below me.
‘I’ll knock Dustin out inside 60 seconds.’
The first meeting between the Irishman and the American was one-sided, with McGregor putting Poirier down and stopping him just 1 minute 43 seconds into the contest.
The Diamond has been stopped once more since then, but has only lost one of his last eight fights, with his submission defeat to Khabib in September 2019.
McGregor’s four career defeats have all come via submission, with his two UFC losses at the hands of Khabib and Nate Diaz.
The fate of the lightweight title is still unknown, with UFC president Dana White confirming that the winner of this bout will likely get a shot at the belt, but we don’t know who against yet.
‘Yeah, whoever wins that fight is probably next in line,’ said White of McGregor vs Poirier II.

【ソウル＝中村彰宏】１１日の朝鮮中央通信によると、北朝鮮の金正恩（キムジョンウン）朝鮮労働党委員長は１０日、第８回党大会６日目の会議で、党総書記に推挙され、就任した。総書記は、祖父の故金日成（キムイルソン）主席や父の故金正日（キムジョンイル）総書記も用いた肩書。権威を高め、正恩氏を中心とした党指導体制を強化する狙いがあるとみられる。
１０日に採択された決定書では、総書記を「全党を代表し、領導する党の首班」と規定。正恩氏が「輝かしい業績を築いた主体革命の卓越した領導者」で、総書記就任を「党大会は全面的に支持、賛同した」とした。９日の党大会では、党規約を改正し、書記局体制を５年ぶりに復活させていた。
正恩氏は２０１１年の正日氏の急死に伴い北朝鮮の最高指導者となり、１２年に党第一書記に就任。１６年の前回党大会では、新設された党委員長に就いた。
１０日の党大会では人事も決め、党最高指導部の政治局常務委員会に、正恩氏の側近とされる趙甬元（チョヨンウォン）氏を選出。首相などを務めた朴奉珠（パクポンジュ）氏が外れ、５人体制を維持した。
正恩氏の妹、金与正（キムヨジョン）党第一副部長は、これまで務めていた政治局員候補に選ばれなかった。対米交渉を担当してきた崔善姫（チョソンヒ）第一外務次官は、党中央委員会の委員から候補委員に降格した。朝鮮中央通信は、「大会は続く」としている。
また、韓国軍合同参謀本部は１１日、北朝鮮で１０日に軍事パレードが開かれたとみられると明らかにした。予行演習の可能性もあるという。

Around 2.4 million coronavirus jabs have now been administered, the Government has confirmed.

Around 2.4 million coronavirus jabs have now been administered, the Government has confirmed.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that about two million people have been vaccinated with the 2.4 million jabs.
Vaccine deployment minister Nadhim Zahawi hailed the latest statistics on Monday, with the UK now set to publish daily updates on the total number of people vaccinated. It comes as the country opened seven vaccination ‘superhubs’ across England, in an effort to ‘offer’ 15 million people a jab by mid-February.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock is due to give a press conference this afternoon to update the country on the process of the vaccination rollout.
During a visit to a vaccine centre in Ashton Gate stadium, Bristol, PM Mr Johnson told reporters: ‘As I speak to you today we’ve done about two million people, maybe a bit more.
‘We’re at about 2.4 million jabs all in across the whole of the UK.’
Britain has approved both the Oxford and the Pfizer jab, while the recently-approved Moderna vaccine is not due to arrive until the spring.
Meanwhile, Wales’ health minister Vaughan Gething has said there is a ‘very real sense of urgency’ in delivering Covid-19 vaccinations in Wales.
‘This is a race against the virus, the damage that is being done,’ Mr Gething said.
‘The faster we can vaccinate people in those priority groups, the more we’ll be able to do to protect those people from harm, the sooner we’re able to make choices about releasing some of the restrictions that we’re all having to live through.
‘I just don’t want there to be any confusion or a sense that actually there’s a lack of urgency when obviously there’s a very real sense of urgency here within the Government, and indeed our NHS who are delivering this vaccination programme.’
Mr Gething said that up until the new year, the Welsh Government had to ‘keep back’ half of its stores of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to ‘protect the second dose’.
The advice then changed, with the interval between the two doses extended.
‘We’re now in a different position to be able to use more of that supply, to be able to use it in a different way to protect more people,’ Mr Gething said.
This is a breaking story – more to follow.

Quantencomputer sind noch eine sehr neue Technologie, könnten aber in der Pharmaforschung ganz neue Perspektiven eröffnen. Und bereiten den Weg zu ungewöhnlichen Partnerschaften.
Der rheinland-pfälzische Pharmakonzern Boehringer Ingelheim und Google wollen bei der Suche nach neuen Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von superschnellen Quantencomputern für die Entwicklung von Medikamenten zusammenarbeiten.
Die am Montag bekanntgegebene Partnerschaft solle die Erfahrungen von Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) im Bereich Wirkstoffdesign in der Pharmazie mit den technischen Möglichkeiten von Google als einem der führenden Entwickler von Quantencomputern verbinden, teilten die beiden Unternehmen mit.
«Auch wenn Quantum Computing eine vergleichsweise neue Technologie ist, sind wir überzeugt, dass wir mit ihrer Hilfe zukünftig noch mehr Menschen und Tiere mit innovativen und bahnbrechenden Medikamenten versorgen können», sagte BI-Finanzvorstand Michael Schmelmer. Heutige Computer könnten nicht viele der komplexen Herausforderungen meistern, die grundlegend für die frühen Phasen pharmazeutischer Forschung und Entwicklung sind, darunter insbesondere Simulationen und Analysen von für den Krankheitsmechanismus relevanten Molekülen. Quantencomputer dagegen hätten das Potenzial, viel größere Moleküle als derzeit möglichst genau zu simulieren und zu vergleichen. Dadurch ergäben sich neue Möglichkeiten für pharmazeutische Innovationen und Therapien.
Der Pharmariese plant nach eigenen Angaben in den kommenden Jahren erhebliche Investitionen in diesem Bereich. Das Unternehmen habe hierfür ein Quantum-Forschungslabor eingerichtet. BI ist nach eigenen Angaben weltweit das erste Pharmaunternehmen, das mit Google im Bereich Quantencomputer zusammenarbeitet. Die Partnerschaft sei auf drei Jahre angelegt.
Ein Quantencomputer speichert Informationen nicht in Form von Bits, die nur zwei mögliche Zustände annehmen können, nämlich Eins oder Null. Ein «Qubit» eines Quantencomputers kann stattdessen beides gleichzeitig sein, also Eins und Null. Das Quantenteilchen hält solange beide Zustände inne, bis man es sich ansieht oder misst. Damit können Quantencomputer theoretisch um ein Vielfaches schneller und leistungsfähiger sein als herkömmliche Rechner. Darüber hinaus bietet die Quantentechnologie nach Ansicht von Experten weitere Vorteile - etwa abhörsichere Datenübertragung.

Gaziantep Futbol Kulübü Teknik Direktörü Marius Sumudica, hem başarıları hem hırçınlığı hem de maç önceleri ve sonraları ilginç tavırları ile Türk futboluna damga vurmaya ve renk katmaya devam ediyor. Gaziantep Futbol Kulübü, son haftalarda ortaya koyduğu performansla adından sıkça söz ettirirken, Süper Lig'in en dikkat çeken takımı olmayı da başardı. Gaziantep ekibinin başarısında en büyük pay sahibi ise Rumen teknik adam Marius Sumudica oldu. Rumen teknik adam, Kırmızısiyahlı ekibin başına geçtiği günden beri hem açıklamaları hem başarıları hem de hırçın tavırları ile ön plana çıktı. Gaziantep FK'nın başında olduğu maçların öncesinde ve sonrasındaki ilginç tavırları ile Türk futboluna renk katan Marius Sumudica, ligin en çok kart gören hocası olarak da Süper Lig'e damga vurdu. Kazandıkları maçlardan sonra halay çekti Gaziantep ekibinde yaklaşık iki yıldır görev yapan Marius Sumudica, bu sezon elde ettiği resmi maçlardaki 18 maçlık yenilmezlik serisi ve takımının son 28 maçın tamamında gol atma özelliğiyle açık ara rakipsiz olmayı başardı. Takımı bu başarıları elde ederken hem oynattığı oyun hem oyun taktiği hem de maç sonu sevinç gösterileri ile gündem olan Marius Sumudica, özellikle kazandıkları maçlardan sonra halay çekmesi ile Türk futbol tarihine adını yazdıran hocalardan biri olmayı şimdiden başardı. Gaziantep ekibinin özellikle bu sezonki Trabzonspor beraberliği, Beşiktaş, Alanyaspor, Fenerbahçe ve Ankaragücü galibiyetleri sonrası saha kenarında halay çeken Marius Sumudica, sosyal medyada uzun süre gündem olmuş, bazı kullanıcıların tepkisini çekerken, bazı kullanıcıların sempatisini kazanmıştı. Beşiktaş galibiyeti sonrası kartal pençesi ile sevinç yaşadı Kırmızısiyahlı ekibin başında bu sezon sadece ligin ilk haftasındaki Galatasaray maçından boynu bükük ayrılan Sumudica, sonrasında kupada ve ligde oynadığı 18 resmi maçta yenilgi yüzü görmedi. Başarıların ardından açıklamaları ile olay olan Rumen teknik adam, Süper Lig'in 8. haftasındaki 31'lik Beşiktaş galibiyeti sonrası ise sevincini kartal pençesi yaparak yaşamış, maç sonu açıklamasında ise, "Benim yaptığım hareket kartal sevinci değil, takımımızın simgesi olan şahin sevinciydi. Ve şahinler her zaman yüksek uçar" ifadelerini kullanmıştı. Trabzonspor, Fenerbahçe, Alanyaspor ve Ankaragücü maçlarının ardından halay çekti Gaziantep ekibine oynattığı oyun ve taktiksel başarısıyla da ligde zirvede yer alan Rumen çalıştırıcı, özellikle 11'lik Trabzonspor beraberliği, 31'lik Alanyaspor, 31'lik Fenerbahçe ve 20'lık Ankaragücü galibiyetlerinin ardından saha kenarında çılgınca sevinmiş ve Gaziantep'e has yerel ezgiler eşliğinde halay çekmişti. Sumudica'nın halay çektiği anlara ait görüntüler ise hem çok konuşulmuş hem de sosyal medyada çokça paylaşılarak uzun süre gündemde kalmıştı. Sumudica, son oynanan Ankaragücü maçı sonrası ise basın toplantısına elinde ayranla gelmiş ve, "Bu güzel galibiyetin üzerine ayran içmek istiyorum. Çünkü ayran yorgunluğumu alıyor" diyerek adından bir kez daha söz ettirmeyi başarmıştı. Ligin en hırçın hocası İlginç sevinçleri kadar gördüğü kartlarla da dikkat çeken Gaziantep FK Teknik Direktörü Marius Sumudica, ligin en çok kart gören hocası olarak da zirvede yer aldı. Bu sezon ligde geride kalan 17 haftada iki kez kırmızı kart gören Sumudica, sekiz kez de sarı kartla cezalandırıldı. Gördüğü kartlara sitem eden Rumen hoca, hakemlerin kendisine önyargılı davrandığını ve en ufak söyleminin cezalandırıldığını her fırsatta dile getirmişti.

Ricky Ponting believes Australia still have ‘the edge’ over India ahead of the deciding Test of the series.

Ricky Ponting believes Australia still have ‘the edge’ over India ahead of the deciding Test of the series.
India were bowled out for 36 as they suffered an embarrassing defeat in the series opener, but the tourists bounced back in Melbourne to win the Boxing Day Test.
Australia were dominant for most of the third Test in Sydney but India showed incredible defiance on the final day to bat out for a draw and ensure the series remains 1-1 going into the fourth match at the Gabba.
A draw will be sufficient for India to keep hold of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as they won the previous contest 2-1 but Ponting feels Australia may clinch victory to nick the series.
‘Australia will have the edge going to Brisbane,’ the former captain told cricket.com.au.
‘One, [Australia’s Gabba] record and two, if Will [Pucovski] is OK then they won’t have to make any changes and if Will’s not they’ll only have to make one change and they have had a pretty dominant performance in this game.
‘India again are going to have a couple of injury concerns out of this game so they’ve got to find another couple of guys to bring in.’
Pucovski made 62 in his first Test innings during the Sydney Test but injured his shoulder while fielding later in the match and will now be sent for scans.
Ponting fears the 22-year-old will now be absent at the Gabba, meaning Matthew Wade could be promoted to open and Travis Head recalled to the middle order.
He added: ‘The thing I’m worried about with Pucovski, a guy playing his first Test match, not to be back out in the field at the end of the day – to me that’s a real worry.
‘If you’re a young bloke and the Test match is on the line I know I would have done absolutely everything I could to get back out there.
‘That says to me he probably couldn’t function properly and if he couldn’t function today then I would assume that he’s in serious doubt for Brisbane.
‘It probably makes more sense to go back to having Wade go back to the top and bring Travis Head into the middle order.’
For India, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant – who scored a brilliant 97 in the second innings in Sydney – may play as a specialist batsman at the Gabba after suffering an injury to his finger.
Ponting said: ‘If they were to play another batter, they could play that batter at five and Rishabh stays at six and Saha can come in at seven. That looks pretty good to me.’

A dad has slammed new coronavirus rules which have separated him from his partner during their son’s lifesaving treatment.

A dad has slammed new coronavirus rules which have separated him from his partner during their son’s lifesaving treatment.
Max, one, was left needing a bone marrow transplant after being diagnosed with aplastic anaemia, a condition so rare only one in a million people have it.
Thankfully, Max’s mum Rachel Nicholson, 27, was a near perfect match and can be her son’s donor.
The family, from South Tyneside, will spend two months in the transplant ward at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, where Rachel can stay with Max but dad Connor Gardner can only see his son at specific visiting hours, and has to isolate.
They were allowed to spend one hour together in the same room on the ‘bubble unit’ but after the latest lockdown announcement they were told this would no longer be possible.
Connor, 29, has slammed the new rules and called for them to be changed.
He said: ‘My son is about to start chemotherapy to be given a bone marrow transplant, is this really the right time to start separating parents from one another?
‘I’d like to know how they find this acceptable. We’ve isolated for two weeks prior to admission, my son and partner have been tested for Covid and both results are negative. I am happy enough to be tested.
‘It is inhumane to ask children not to see both parents at the same time. It is not normal. Surely there could be some special measures put in place.
‘We have been allowed to spend one hour together in the room but after the lockdown announcement we were told it was all changing.’
Max was diagnosed with the condition after his parents noticed significant bruising and rashes all over his body.
The couple took him to South Tyneside District Hospital, where he was incorrectly diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenic purpura, a condition which a child will grow out of.
However, as Max’s condition worsened, he ended up at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle, where doctors discovered he had the much rarer aplastic anaemia.
Max underwent his first round of chemotherapy last week and will have a bone marrow transplant after the treatment is completed.
But Connor and Rachel face spending two months apart while Max undergoes treatment due to the new rules.
Connor said the new rules were ‘baffling’ as people could carry out other daily activities without being checked.
He added: ‘We can’t spend one hour together in the same room, when we are going through something so horrific and you can feel so low.
‘Travelling into the country without any tests, not even a temperature check at border control and no isolation period.
‘You are allowed to go to stores for wallpaper paste and play elite sport with 21 other people. I think the Government needs to look at the policy again. It needs a rethink.’
A spokeswoman for the Newcastle NHS Foundation Trust said: ‘As a Trust we safely reintroduced visiting across inpatient wards in August last year.
‘We have kept our restrictions to a minimum for as long as possible but following the announcement of a national lockdown and increasing cases of the new variant of Covid-19, we made the very difficult decision to implement stricter restrictions to essential visiting only.
‘For our younger patients this means only one parent can be with them at any one time. We understand how disappointing this must be but the stricter restrictions are necessary to keep our patients, their families and our staff safe.’

A British judge said US prisons are dangerously inhumane. Sadly, she's right

What does it say about the humanitarian condition of US prisons and jails when one of the United States’ closest allies refuses to extradite a person for fear that American prison conditions would drive him to suicide?
This is exactly what happened on Monday when a British court ruled against the United States’ extradition request for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange due to concerns that his health and safety cannot be assured in US custody.
The United States fought vigorously to extradite Assange so that he can stand trial for alleged violations of the US Espionage Act, as well as other alleged cyber crimes.
We were dismayed by Judge Vanessa Baraitser’s apparently sympathetic approach to the United States’ legal arguments, and we’re disappointed that the court did not reject the radical theory that foreign publishers can be prosecuted for publishing US secrets. The job of national security journalists is to publish the government’s secrets. Criminalizing that is a threat to press freedom and democratic accountability, and these charges should be dropped.
Nevertheless, in her ruling Judge Baraitser denied extradition due to the significant risk that Assange would be placed in solitary confinement, which she concluded would likely lead to his death by suicide.
Assange has a long and documented history of mental illness, and psychiatric experts testified that, during his current incarceration in the United Kingdom, periodic visits from his spouse and children, as well as phone calls with his family, are important factors preventing him from attempting suicide or self-harm.
These are things that would almost certainly be denied Assange in US custody.
Prolonged solitary confinement – defined as the practice of confining people for 22 to 24 hours per day without meaningful human contact for a period of more than 15 days – can amount to torture, according to the United Nations.
Solitary confinement is particularly dangerous for individuals suffering from mental illness, as well as children, nursing mothers and pregnant people. The United Nations’ Nelson Mandela Rules prohibit prolonged solitary confinement, and restrict the use of solitary confinement for these high-risk individuals.
A growing number of countries have implemented the Mandela Rules as part of a global movement against the continued use of this inhumane treatment, but these prohibitions have not been adopted by the US Bureau of Prisons or any American state – with the partial exception of Colorado.
According to the Prison Policy Initiative, an estimated 37% of people incarcerated in US state and federal prisons have a diagnosed mental illness, as do an estimated 44% of incarcerated people in local jails. And studies have shown that approximately half of all suicides and incidents of self-harm in American prisons and jails occur among people held in solitary confinement.
In 2011, the ACLU’s National Prison Project launched the Stop Solitary campaign, which advocates for the abolition of prolonged solitary confinement and the nationwide implementation of the Mandela Rules. Prior to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, the number of people held in solitary confinement in the United States each day was estimated to range from 55,000 to 62,500. After a decade of slow but steady progress by advocates to reduce the use of solitary confinement, recent events have made the situation worse.
As of June 2020, the Unlock the Box campaign estimated that as many as 300,000 people were being held in solitary confinement in response to Covid-19 – a nearly 500% increase from pre-pandemic numbers. The increased use of solitary confinement, which is occurring in state and local prisons and jails as well as federal facilities, is being justified as a response to Covid-19, despite overwhelming public health evidence that solitary confinement is a dangerous and counterproductive response to the disease.
Julian Assange is far from the only person at risk of serious injury or death by the conditions which characterize US prisons and jails. The courts ought to be as concerned about the treatment of the hundreds of thousands of people who were held in solitary last year as they are about this man with an international following.
“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails,” Nelson Mandela famously stated.
So what does the United States’ continued over-reliance on a practice that is internationally recognized as tantamount to torture say about us?
We certainly can do better.

Denise Van Outen has revealed plans to marry her partner of seven years once lockdown ends.
The 46-year-old actress and presenter admitted city trader boyfriend Eddie Boxshall had not proposed, but they’ve been discussing when to tie the knot.
The Dancing On Ice star told Hello! magazine her daughter Betsy was ‘desperate’ for them to get married as soon as possible.
Denise – who shares the 10-year-old with musical theatre star Lee Mead, whom she was married to between 2009 and 2013 – said: ‘After we’ve finished our podcast and this dreadful lockdown ends, there will be wedding bells.
‘Betsy is desperate for us to get married; she tells us that all the time. We want to do it, too, surrounded by all our family and friends.’
Denise and Eddie have also started seeing a counsellor to ‘iron out the niggles’ ahead of the big day, and their discussions will feature in a new podcast, Before We Say I Do, which launches later in January.
She added: ‘There’s been no official proposal yet but we talk about getting married a lot.
‘One day I commented that I never understood why a lot of people dive into marriage without ironing out their niggles first because the problems just creep up on them years later.
‘That’s when we came up with this fun idea for a podcast series for myself and Eddie which would involve having counselling to sort out flaws that most people brush under the carpet before we venture into matrimony.
‘Eddie and I have met different types of counsellors and had the discussions that most couples avoid. We’ve consulted a food therapist and a laughing counsellor and underwent hypnosis where we had to imagine we were each other and speak the truth.’
Denise is competing on the upcoming series of Dancing On Ice and told the magazine her professional partner, Matt Evers, had moved into their home to form a Covid-19 bubble.

Topshop changed the fashion industry, but now it too has been left behind

When I was growing up in Belfast in the mid-00s, the recently opened Victoria Square shopping centre offered a trifecta of coolness to teenage girls: Topshop, Urban Outfitters and Hollister. While each store had its own appeal, the barometer of desire swung most often towards Topshop. The “Topshop Girl” was ahead of trends, easily cast as the Kate or Cara of her provincial town in a statement chunky necklace or boho gilet. Whether in Belfast’s Victoria Square, the Trafford Centre in Manchester or a concession in a regional department store, Topshop was, for many young women, a beacon of aspiration.
If you lived outside a major city, a pilgrimage into town wasn’t complete without a visit to Topshop. The brand’s flagship store on London’s Oxford Street was the teenage girl equivalent of Lourdes, with three sprawling floors of clothes, shoes and accessories, a cavernous basement housing the brand’s premium Boutique range, and a curated selection of vintage clothing. Any visit was a multi-sensory experience: the labyrinth of mirrored escalators were always packed with bewildered tourists as the sound of pummelling house music from a resident DJ permeated the building.
But after a 27-year tenure on London’s main shopping drag, the company’s flagship has now been put up for sale. Topshop’s parent company, the Arcadia Group, has gone into administration and a buyer is being sought for the brand. Last year was tumultuous for high street staples as social distancing measures meant a reduction in the sales of clothing and an overall shift to online retail. Though you won’t catch me shedding any tears for Arcadia owner Philip Green – his family are set to pocket £50m from the sale of Topshop – the demise of his retail empire is a tragic blow for the 13,000 employees across the group whose jobs are at risk.
The sale of Topshop is also a symptom of our changing relationship with fashion. Founded in 1964, Topshop’s nadir was arguably during the past two decades, when the chain brought the catwalk to the high street. Previously, mass-market clothing production ran months behind the pieces luxury designers showcased at catwalk shows, until Topshop and its peers – including Zara and Mango – began to match these trends, almost like-for-like. Fashion shows were once heavily guarded events to which high-street designers weren’t invited (some even paid for blackmarket catwalk footage). But the advent of social media and blogging made catwalk trends more accessible, and Topshop was well placed to meet them.
The brand established itself as a high-street contender in the world of high fashion, and was one of the first chains to launch its own runway shows, with celebrities and models dotting front rows. It pioneered high-end collaborations with designers and celebrities such as Kate Moss, Christopher Kane and Preen – a business model that has since become an industry standard. The brand drip-fed trends to consumers who had previously relied on glossy magazines and the occasional blog for fashion forecasts. At Topshop’s peak, a pair of the brand’s popular Joni skinny jeans sold every 10 seconds, and queues snaked around the block for its limited designer collections.
But the trend cycle that Topshop once stoked continued to pick up speed, and more dexterous competitors started to meet the demand for increasingly faster fashion. Brands such as Boohoo, PrettyLittleThing and Missguided had rapid production rates and even more cut-price offerings – these retailers could sell “going out-out” dresses, once a Topshop staple, for under £5. While Topshop’s bland website has remained much the same for years, new fast-fashion brands nimbly adapted to the age of influencers and social media; PrettyLittleThing launched a sell-out line with Love Island’s Molly Mae, for instance, while Boohoo is known for its meme-machine Instagram page.
In many ways, Topshop has been the victim of its own success. The fashion playing field it once helped to level has evolved; the business model it once pioneered now seems old-fashioned alongside social media-savvy competitors that don’t even have brick and mortar stores (or the overheads that go with them). But it wasn’t just the voracious appetite for fast fashion that led to Topshop’s demise. As its key demographic grew older – with more disposable income and an eye on quality – they graduated to new offerings, such as the H&M group’s Cos, and & Other Stories. These brands emphasise higher-quality fabrics and boutique-style stores (though even they are beginning to face a reckoning, as shoppers cotton on to issues around faux sustainability claims).
Indeed, consumers have become increasingly aware that fast fashion carries a huge cost for the environment and workers’ rights. One in three Generation Z and millennial consumers in the UK are now on the fashion marketplace Depop, a hive for vintage and second-hand clothing. The slow fashion activists I know – and the hubs of like-minded teens who proliferate on Depop and TikTok – are interrogating the brokers of consumer culture and finding a sense of community in clothes that have more of a purpose than the comfort of trend-safe replica outfits.
Young women’s shopping habits continue to change the world of fashion as we know it. Hopefully, some of that change is for the better. Somewhere in the sartorial hinterland between fast fashion shoppers and more critical consumers, Topshop lost its purpose. Whatever comes next for the brand, we may be bidding a tentative, bittersweet farewell to the three undisputed demigods of denim that Topshop made so popular: Joni, Jamie and Leigh.

BioWare is kicking off the new year with a new piece of Dragon Age 4 concept art and fans are hopeful the archer character is playable.
After being quiet about it for so long, it looks as if BioWare is now ready to be a bit more open about Dragon Age 4.
A new CGI story trailer was shown at The Game Awards 2020 last month and, more recently, executive producer Christian Dailey took to Twitter to share a new piece of concept art.
‘Here’s to new beginnings,’ he wrote, with the art depicting what appears to be a wholly new character: an armour-clad archer armed with a magical bow and arrow.
A character wielding the same weapon appeared in the aforementioned story trailer, but it was during a night-time scene, so it was difficult to make out their appearance.
Naturally, the comments are full of discussions over whether the archer is a playable class or a companion character. Some are already wondering if the archer will be a romance option.
The fact that the character looks like they could be a combination of a mage and archer has gone down well with some fans for how unique it is.
Some, however, aren’t as impressed with the design, saying that it doesn’t resemble the Dragon Age art style anymore and looks similar to something like Destiny.
There are also several comments asking about updates for Anthem, even though Dailey is no longer working on it.
While there is plenty of excitement still surrounding Dragon Age 4 (which technically isn’t even the official name of the game), there is also some anxiety considering recent developments at BioWare.
In early December, general manager Casey Hudson and Dragon Age’s executive producer Mark Darrah left the studio, with no real explanation as to why.
Dragon Age 4 is currently in development with no scheduled release date.

Trump's Maga insurrectionists were perverse US civil war re-enactors

“Big protest in DC on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Donald Trump tweeted on December 19, a week after his would-be Brown Shirt followers rioted in the streets of Washington to protest the “stolen” election. When Der Tag – the climactic day of battle arrived – Trump assembled his true believers on the South Ellipse at the White House for a “Save America” rally, waving them up Pennsylvania Avenue as his army to nullify the congressional certification of electoral college votes in the presidential election.
Near the steps of the Capitol, as Trump’s shock troops prepared themselves for the assault on the citadel, they built a bare but dramatic monument to their revenge fantasy: wooden gallows with steps leading up to a swinging noose. Smashing their way through the windows and doors of the Capitol, they rampaged in a mad dash, breaking furniture, slashing paintings and looting offices. One of the invaders roamed through the corridors carrying a large Confederate flag, the first and only time that emblem of the Slave Power has ever appeared inside the Capitol.
Just two weeks earlier, on 21 December, at the request of the commonwealth of Virginia, the statue of Robert E Lee that the state had given as a gift to the Congress in 1909 to represent it in Statuary Hall was replaced with one of Barbara Rose Johns Powell, who as a teenager had integrated Virginia’s public schools. Trump’s rabble had first rioted in 2017 in defense of another statue of Lee, in Charlottesville, Virginia, after the city council had voted to remove it.
“Jews will not replace us!” they chanted, and a young woman was murdered by a neo-Nazi. Trump praised them as “very fine people,” and tweeted, “Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments.”
The rioter parading through the Capitol with a Confederate flag, as though he had reached the high-water mark of Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg, was captured in a photo between two portraits on the Senate side, one of Senator John C Calhoun, the proslavery ideologue and nullifier from South Carolina, and the other of Senator Charles Sumner, the abolitionist from Massachusetts. The neo-Confederate rioter appeared indifferent to the images, even as he flaunted the symbol of the Lost Cause for Trump’s lost cause in a new civil war.
In a valentine to the vandals of the Capitol, Trump proclaimed, “We love you,” and, “You’re special.” The rabble was a mélange of true believers in conspiracy theories, paranoid delusions and twisted history. For the QAnon followers, their presence at the Capitol was the moment when the storm of the rapture would bring about the revelation of Trump’s final plan and his restoration to perpetual power. It was the culmination of Trump’s promise for apocalyptic change. For neo-Nazis, carrying flags with abstract versions of broken swastikas, and tattooed latter-day Klansmen, it was a stand for racial supremacy. Charging the gates of the Capitol was storming the gates of heaven. Or, alternatively, it was a heroic last-ditch defense of Trump’s bunker from the onslaught of hordes of impure infidels led by Joe Biden.
As William Faulkner famously wrote, “The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” But the warped history that the Trump mob thinks it is enacting, reenacting or conjuring is a costume drama of militant ignorance. The true history sheds more light on their feeble attempted coup than their fervid visions of pedophile liberal celebrities acting in concert with the deep state and the Illuminati.
When senators scrambled for cover from violent assailants, it recalled the nearly fatal attack on Charles Sumner. In 1856, after delivering a stem-winding speech against the effort to turn the Kansas territory into a slave state, “The Crime Against Kansas,” Sumner sat at his desk on the floor of the Senate writing letters. Representative Preston Brooks, of South Carolina, taking umbrage at his remarks, clubbed him with a gold-handled cane until he was almost dead. Blood ran across the floor of the Senate. The caning of Sumner was a precipitating outrage that helped bring on the civil war.
President Lincoln was determined that Washington would never fall to the Confederacy. He ringed the city with forts. Tens of thousands of troops were stationed there. In August 1864, when a Confederate army came within sight of the Capitol, Lincoln himself rushed to Fort Stevens to participate in the battle, and was shot at. A young officer, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, later the supreme court justice, shouted at him, “Get down, you fool!”
Lincoln directed the rebuilding of the Capitol dome, originally a wooden structure that had rotted, as a symbol of confidence in the ultimate victory of democracy. The dome was completed in December 1863, a month after Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address proclaiming “a new birth of freedom”.
Lincoln’s second inaugural took place at the newly restored Capitol. He ordered that units of Black soldiers, who had been recruited as a result of the Emancipation Proclamation, be present in force. In the Rotunda, where Trump’s rioters so recently frolicked, there was a disturbance as Lincoln passed through. A man rushing forward was restrained, later identified as John Wilkes Booth. The famed actor had become a Confederate secret service agent stalking Lincoln. Booth edged himself onto the Capitol Portico to observe Lincoln while he spoke. One hundred and fifty-six years later, Trump’s mob climbed over the spot where Booth had stood.
“Right makes might,” Lincoln had stated in his Cooper Union address of 1860, which launched him on his campaign for the presidency. Six months later, on 11 July 1860, Charles Sumner came to Cooper Union to support Lincoln’s candidacy by speaking on the subject of The Republican Party: Its Origins, Necessity, and Permanence. He defined the new liberal party as the antithesis of John C Calhoun, “chief in all the pretensions of slavery and slave-masters,” who attacked “the self-evident truths of the declaration of independence as ‘absurd,’ and then to proclaim that human beings are ‘property’ under the constitution.”
“All that the Republican party now opposes,” said Sumner, “may be found in John C Calhoun.”
But now, it should be apparent in the last days of Trump, as he invokes the spirit of Calhoun’s nullification, that original Republican party has ceased to exist. The Trump diehard brandishing the Confederate flag in the Capitol mocks the constitutional democracy that Lincoln died for. Not since the intrusion of John Wilkes Booth has there been such a traitorous presence.

Rockstar may have dropped some new hints about GTA 6 in the Caro Perico Heist – either that or fans are grasping at straws again.
Grand Theft Auto fans are always on the lookout for any clues that may hint at a GTA 6 announcement and arguably there has already been one in the teaser trailer for the Caro Perico Heist update to GTA Online.
If that was a tease it was a well-hidden one but now the update has been released there may be more, although it’s not exactly clear-cut evidence.
One supposed Easter egg involves the Panther Varsity jacket that you’re given for participating in the 100 Billion Heist Challenge, the back of which has the wording Hostes ad pulverem ferire – a phrase last seen on a building in GTA: Vice City.
It has long been rumoured that GTA 6 will see a return to Vice City in some form or other, although there’s never been anything close to real proof.
The building in question is called the Hoarmont Avenue Church, which does seem an odd thing to reference in the Caro Perico Heist, and the phrase reads ‘pulverising the enemy’ in false Latin.
It’s true you don’t make up a phrase like that by accident but whether it’s meant as a genuine tease or just Rockstar purposefully messing with fans is impossible to say.
The other supposed clue is even more of a stretch and involves new character Gustavo, who is wearing a Hawaiian shirt that is very similar to a shirt that Gonzalez wears in Vice City.
That one’s not exactly a smoking gun either but it’s been enough to get fans talking, which either way is good for Rockstar.
GTA 6 has never been officially announced, although Rockstar did recently say that GTA Online will be getting more single-player content.
There have also been believable rumours that work on a new game has begun, but with GTA 5 coming to Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 this year it’s unlikely you’d hear anything about a sequel until after its launch in the second half of the year.

Think of this as a cross between a panna cotta and a mousse. There aren’t many ingredients, so the use of a really lovely local honey and good-quality yoghurt will make a big difference. If you’re lucky enough to know a beekeeper, even better! I’m constantly in awe of chef Katja Tausig, who not only forages mushrooms and cooks incredible food, but also spends her free time beekeeping and documenting it on her Instagram. It’s gripping stuff.
Prep 1 hrChill 4 hr+Cook 10 minServes 3-4 230g double cream 25g honey 20g caster sugar 1½ gelatine leaves, soaked in cold water130g Greek yoghurt1 orange, peeled and segmented, to serve (optional)
For the oaty biscuits50g unsalted butter 70g golden syrup ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda 65g jumbo oats 40g flaked almonds 35g plain flour ¼ tsp flaky salt
Warm 150g cream with the honey and sugar, and stir to dissolve; when it’s steaming, remove from the heat. Squeeze the water out of the gelatine and, using a whisk, stir into the warmed cream to melt. Take off the heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, whip the remaining cream to soft peaks. Put the yoghurt in a large bowl and pour in the cream mixture, stirring with a whisk to combine. Use the whisk to fold in the whipped cream, so there are no lumps. Pour into glasses, ramekins or dariole moulds, and transfer to the fridge to set for at least four hours.
Now make the biscuits. Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6. In a saucepan, heat the butter and golden syrup until bubbling. Add the bicarb, whisk until frothy, then take off the heat. Mix the remaining biscuits ingredients in a small bowl, then stir into the hot syrup mix until evenly coated.
Line large oven tray with baking paper. Liberally grease six or seven 7cm metal rings and put these on the tray. Spoon in a large tablespoon of the biscuit dough into each ring, pressing it in to make it even. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and, while they’re still hot, lift off the metal rings. Leave to cool fully before eating.
Serve the bavarois with the oat biscuits and blood orange segments.

Japan finds new mutant Covid strain as infectious as variant in UK

Japan has detected a third mutant strain of coronavirus that is similar to the highly infectious variants spreading across the UK and South Africa.

Japan has detected a third mutant strain of coronavirus that is similar to the highly infectious variants spreading across the UK and South Africa.
The strain was found in four passengers arriving from Brazil who were quarantined at Haneda Airport in Tokyo when they tested positive, Nikkei Asia reports.
Three of the group developed symptoms including struggling to breath, a fever and a sore throat, while one man in his 40s arrived on January 2 without any symptoms.
But he was later rushed to hospital with difficulties breathing, Bloomberg reports.
Japan’s National Institute of Infectious Diseases (NIID) confirmed the mutant strain and it was reported to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
The country has seen a spike in coronavirus cases, with more than 6,000 new cases a day for the last four days, according to John Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center.
Since the pandemic began Japan has recorded 290,270 cases and 3,870 deaths.
On Friday, the country’s state of emergency came into effect for Tokyo and the surrounding areas.
Bars and restaurants will be forced to close at 8pm for a month-long period which can be extended.
This is the most recently discovered mutant strain of the virus after the UK and South Africa uncovered their own highly infectious variants.
The UK’s variant, found in early December, is thought to be the reason behind the latest deadly wave, with record high daily deaths and hospital admissions.
Last Friday saw the highest daily death toll since the pandemic began, with 1,325 fatalities recorded nationwide.
About two weeks after the UK found its mutant strain South Africa revealed an even more infectious variant.
The country went into its second hard lockdown on December 28, banning the sale of alcohol so hospital beds are kept free from alcohol-related trauma cases.
South Africa has a total of 33,163 deaths and 1,231,597 cases, with over 20,000 recorded in the last four days.
Unlike the UK, South Africa has not yet received any Covid vaccines, which will need to be distributed around its struggling healthcare system, local media reported.
Last week Transport Secretary Grant Shapps expressed doubts over whether the vaccine will work against the South African variant.
He told Sky News: ‘There are the concerns about the South African one in particular about how effective the vaccine would be against it so we simply cannot take chances.’
However, just hours before the interview Pfizer published a study concluding their vaccine was just as effective against both the UK and South African strain.
The research is yet to be peer-reviewed and does not ‘include the full set of spike mutations’ on the two strains.

Brighton are hopeful of winning the race to sign Moisés Caicedo after holding talks with the Ecuador midfielder.
Manchester United have repeatedly been linked with Caicedo, who has also been targeted by West Ham, but Graham Potter’s side have emerged as strong contenders to buy the 19-year-old from Independiente del Valle. Brighton have retained a good relationship with Independiente after signing Billy Arce in 2018.
Caicedo has been capped four times by Ecuador and has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs. West Ham are on the hunt for depth in midfield and have also made a move for the youngster, but it is believed that the east Londoners are behind Brighton in the queue. Everton and Newcastle have also shown an interest.
It has previously been reported that Manchester United were on the verge of completing a deal to sign Caicedo this month. That is believed to be wide of the mark.

A group of rowdy Australian diners confronted Bali police officers after customers were told to leave the restaurant due to a COVID-19 curfew.
Local authorities attended the business in the Petitenget area on Monday night to enforce the 9pm closure time, amid ongoing restrictions to curb coronavirus transmissions on the popular tourist island.
But outraged foreigners allegedly started arguing with police for almost half an hour, insisting they were not done with their meals.
A video circulating on Instagram shows two Australians quarrelling face-to-face with a group of officers as they try to explain the regulations.
A man, without a face mask, can be seen mocking one of the officers before flipping him the bird, while a woman demands to be shown the curfew rules.
'You show me where it says eight o'clock,' she says.
An officer turns to the man to reiterate the directive, with the Australian responding: 'You tell me mate, I'll do whatever.'
Frustrated the man does not appear to be absorbing the message, the officer orders: 'No! Nine o'clock you must close the bar!'
The man and woman acknowledge they understand before launching into another debate demanding further elaboration.
The clip has gone viral, attracting almost 70,000 views, with many Indonesians discussing the impacts of the lockdown measures on Bali's local economy.
I Gusti Agung Ketut Suryanegara, who heads the Public Order Agency (Satpol PP) in Badung regency said the dispute lasted for around 30 minutes.
'There were foreign tourists who insisted that they were still [dining]. We said it was 9pm and [restaurant] operations must be closed. There’s no way around it, if they want to continue to eat they have to wrap it up and take it away,' he told local news agency Coconuts Bali.
Indonesia has tightened restrictions in Java and Bali from January 11 until January 25, with the possibility of an extension, to prevent the spread of the virus.
Under the new regulations, shopping centres, malls, and restaurants are required to close by 9pm in the Bali provinces of Denpasar, Badung, Gianyar, Klungkung and Tabanan.

Biden names former ambassador to Russia William Burns as CIA director

President-elect Joe Biden announced Monday he has chosen veteran diplomat William Burns to be his CIA director.
A former ambassador to Russia and Jordan, Burns, 64, had a 33-year career at the State Department under both Republican and Democratic presidents.
He rose through the ranks of the diplomatic corps to become deputy secretary of state before retiring in 2014 to run the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.
Amid tumult in the State Department after President Donald Trump took office in 2017, Burns held his tongue until last year when he began writing highly critical pieces of the Trump administration's policies in Foreign Affairs and other publications.
Burns has been a staunch advocate of rebuilding and restructuring the foreign service, positions Biden has aligned himself with.
'Bill Burns is an exemplary diplomat with decades of experience on the world stage keeping our people and our country safe and secure,' Biden said in a statement Monday.
'He shares my profound belief that intelligence must be apolitical and that the dedicated intelligence professionals serving our nation deserve our gratitude and respect.
'Ambassador Burns will bring the knowledge, judgment, and perspective we need to prevent and confront threats before they can reach our shores. The American people will sleep soundly with him as our next CIA director.'
Burns was said to have been a candidate to be Biden's secretary of state. Biden chose Anthony Blinken instead.
If confirmed by the Senate, Burns would succeed Gina Haspel. As the first female CIA director, Haspel guided the agency under Trump, who has frequently disparaged the assessments of U.S. spy agencies, especially about Russia´s interference in the 2016 election to help his campaign.
The president has placed quote marks around the word intelligence in his tweets, implying that he doesn't agree with the term, and has fired several career intelligence professionals in favor of loyalists, including some with little to no experience in the field.
Burns has received three Presidential Distinguished Service Awards and the highest civilian honors from the Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence community.
He has doctoral degrees in international relations from Oxford University, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar.
Burns, a graduate of La Salle University in Philadelphia with advanced degrees from Oxford University, joined the foreign service in 1982 and before being named ambassador to Russia in 2005, served as a top aide to former Secretaries of State William Christopher and Madeleine Albright as well as director of the State Department´s policy planning office.
Burns was a close adviser and confidante to Christopher, Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry before his retirement.
In his 2019 book 'The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for Its Renewal,' Burns called for a revamp of American diplomacy, while recalling his days in the field, including helping to spearhead the early stages of the Obama administration´s outreach to Iran in 2013.

Loose Women has confirmed Charlene White has officially replaced Andrea McLean as the show’s new anchor.
Andrea quit the ITV programme in November after 13 years at the helm, with Charlene making her grand debut on today’s show alongside Nadia Sawalha and Stacey Solomon.
The 40-year-old ITV newsreader, who had previously guest anchored in October as part of Loose Women’s first all-black lineup, is now a permanent fixture like Ruth Langsford and Christine Lampard.
Introducing Charlene to the series, Nadia beamed: ‘We’re all so happy you’re here!’
‘I’m very happy, thank you so much for having me ladies,’ Charlene replied.
Before the episode got underway, the hosts presented Charlene with a montage of all her best bits.
‘I’ve been waiting to do this show with you for ages,’ Stacey enthused. ‘Because you were so fantastic every time you’ve been in, we already have a montage of your best bits to show you.’
‘I am honestly absolutely stoked,’ Charlene smiled after watching the video. ‘I have been buzzing all this time to be able to reveal that I am the latest and the newest Loose Woman.’
Charlene joined ITN as a newsreader in 2008, before becoming the first black woman to host ITV News at Ten in 2014.
In 2019, she was announced as lead presenter of ITV News London’s main 6pm programme, which she continues to present.
Charlene’s arrival comes weeks after Andrea’s exit.
‘I want to be brave,’ Andrea told viewers as she revealed she was leaving Loose Women.
‘It was a really big decision to jump and see if I fall or fly. You get one life. Are you living it the way that you want and are you doing everything that you want to do?
‘Are you taking chances? And I realised, no.’
Loose Women airs weekdays at 12.30pm on ITV.

10 houseplants to make you happier at home

An unkillable plant with cheery central leaves of banana yellow. This tough succulent has many stunning cultivars but this is my favourite.
There are a few foliage houseplants – crotons, caladiums, and coleus, for instance – that offer a riot of colour, but the algaonemas are probably the easiest to grow, tolerating more shade. Look for the pink-splashed ‘Ruby’ or if you prefer muted tones, the dappled ‘Peacock’.
You cannot fail to smile at the sight of this delightfully kitsch and long-flowering plant. Either stick with the classic scarlet, or opt for one of the newer cultivars with blooms in pink, white or lime green.
I find pink foliage irresistible: this one has the added bonus of producing dozens of baby plants at the end of long pink runners known as stolons. Place it in a hanging basket or on a plant stand so it can trail its brood of babies, jellyfish-style.
Caudiciform plants (ones with woody, swollen bases) are all the rage, but many are expensive and hard to source. This one is widely available and can turn into a tall specimen plant that will cope with the dry air of your living room in a way most palms won’t (and despite the common name, it’s not actually a palm).
This trailing succulent wins the award for the coolest looking leaves, which appear to have been cut with a pair of giant pinking shears. Once mature, it produces large white flowers, too.
If you love cacti but hate the spikes, this species is for you. It produces huge white lily-like flowers that smell of washing powder but last only a day and a night.
No flower suits the word “voluptuous” better than this. It’s no harder to care for than the ubiquitous moth orchid, but its meaty blooms are much more of a showstopper.
If you don’t have room for a swiss cheese plant but love its elaborate leaves, this is a great substitute. If it scrambles too far, just hack it back.
I do love a plant with fuzzy, tactile leaves: this succulent has silvery foliage tipped with chocolate. It’s easy to care for when placed on a sunny windowsill, ideally within stroking distance.

Something happens deep inside us when we grow plants, a glow of pleasure and satisfaction as each leaf, bud and stem emerges. One of the easiest, more joyful things to grow, wherever you live, is lemongrass. Many things can be propagated in a glass of water, but the bright, citrus-floral scent of lemongrass is like a shot of sunshine. Dried leaves are merely dust in comparison.
Buy a fresh stem, as green and firm as possible, with the longest best before date, and pop it in a glass with 5cm or so of water. Top it up whenever it starts to dry out and, a month or so later, roots will appear. Once these are about 2cm long, pot the plant in good, peat-free compost. Keep up this process, moving to a slightly larger pot every time white roots appear in the drainage holes, and you’ll find that you go from one stem to a multitude.
Lemongrass is a tropical, perennial grass that wants high temperatures – 18-33C is ideal, never below 10C. For most of us, that means inside the house. It needs bright conditions, such as a sunny windowsill and, in summer, needs to be permanently damp, so water every day. In winter, the soil needs to stay barely damp, not bone dry, so water once or twice a month.
If you start now and get good growth this summer, you should have a few fat stems by winter and many more next year. Don’t harvest until you have a substantial plant.
The homegrown leaves pack as good a flavour punch as any supermarket stem, and you can harvest them without disturbing the growth. For something so undemanding of the grower, lemongrass is rich in rewards – and think of the air miles you’ve saved.

Lauren Burrows, a senior consumer writer at the website Money to the Masses, has tried and tested budgeting apps. These link up to your bank accounts, credit cards and investments, and pull in information about your balances and transactions. You don’t need to input your passwords, and will have to confirm every 90 days that you are still happy with the app to access your details. Here are her favourites.
Emma analyses your savings and current accounts as well as credit cards, and categorises your spending so you can easily see where your money is going each month. It lists your subscriptions, allowing you to see if there are things you are paying for and not using, and any bank fees you have been charged. A premium account, Emma Pro, has additional features such as personalised categories and extra cashback.
Good for: Beginners and managing subscriptions.
Cost: Emma – free; Emma Pro – £59.99 a year, with the first seven days free.
Pros: Very easy to set up and use. Cashback and rewards for spending with certain retailers such as the Body Shop, B&Q, Gousto, Boots and more.
Cons: A bit gamified and the push to subscribe to Emma Pro can become annoying.
Offers most of the same features as Emma Pro but at no cost. These include customisable categories for your spending – for example, you may want to group together all payments for presents around Christmas – and the option to add accounts manually. Money Dashboard also graphs your projected monthly spending with a predicted balance at the end of the month. The level of customisation in the app is ideal for those with accounts and investments across a range of providers.
Good for: More complex finances.
Cost: Free.
Pros: In-depth budgeting analysis with personalised categories based on your individual spending. Desktop version also available.
Cons: Takes time to set up and its automatic spending categorisation could be better.
Yolt allows you to organise all of your accounts in one place and you can take things one step further by using its prepaid debit card for everyday spending. Once you have connected your accounts, Yolt allows you to track your spending, see upcoming transactions, create budgets and set saving goals.
Good for: Controlling spending.
Cost: Free.
Pros: Encourages you to set spending budgets. Features such as rounding up your spare change and scheduled payments mean you can maximise your saving.
Cons: Yolt does not allow for weekly paydays. There is no Financial Services Compensation Scheme protection for any money you hold on the prepaid account.
Plum takes budgeting one step further and does the hard work for you as it uses artificial intelligence to automatically calculate an affordable amount to save based on your spending pattern. It lets you know if you could be overpaying on your regular bills and suggests ways to save money. Plum offers more than one plan and its premium options also offer the opportunity to invest your money as well as earn cashback, set savings goals and create saving spaces to separate your money.
Good for: Automated saving.
Cost: Plum Basic – free; Plum Plus – £1 a month; Plum Pro – £2.99 a month (free 30-day trial with both).
Pros: Helps you to save with little effort, also allows you to round up your spare change and earn interest on your savings.
Cons: Have to pay to get some features that other apps offer for free, such as goal setting and cashback. Monthly £1 fee if you want to invest your money.
App-only banks such as Starling Bank and Monzo combine the logistics of a current account with the addition of handy budgeting features such as personalised spending analytics, the ability to separate your money into savings pots or spaces and automatic saving with spare change roundups as you spend.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK: extravagant fashion, lip-syncs and instant enemies

Perhaps this is arrogance on my part but I had thought, after years of watching, that I was finally reality TV-proof. You know how it is: when the first episode of a competition format is aired, you already know who will make the Top 3, who will Go On A Journey, who will uselessly flop out at the first hurdle, who will be the first major villain (out Week 5) and the second, sleeper agent villain (out Week 8). I know how the sausage is made so completely that reality TV editors cannot possibly fool me any more. I see through the Matrix. I have become television.
Except when it comes to RuPaul’s Drag Race UK (Thursday, BBC Three), which has confounded me entirely, in that I cannot possibly predict what is going to happen – and who is going to zig into “reality TV evil” – next. Everyone’s seen at least one episode of Drag Race by now, so I don’t really have to explain too much – 12 drag queens compete as to who can be the best drag queen, doing one “fun challenge” a week (this week they pose for photos while having tennis balls fired at them, for reasons unknown) and then a more sincere runway walk at the end, with the two losers forced into a to-the-death lip-sync – and it’s as much about the sheer artistry of the costumes and inventive interpretation of the broad briefs as it is about people in wig caps doing extravagant things with gauze.
It has been going for years in the US, but when mega-formats run and run like this, the question stands: how do you innovate without changing up what makes the original a success? And the answer for this UK spin-off is: make RuPaul chew the words “bangers and mash” up in front of a parade of British queens who, in lieu of polished Stateside glam, all give off a dark energy that suggests they have all, at least once, used their platform shoes to kick out the glass in a bus stop.
So in this second series we have early favourites Lawrence Chaney, an astonishingly funny Scottish queen hailing from Glasgow, Ellie Diamond, her Dundee counterpart, a sort of drag wunderkind who makes every outfit by hand, and Tayce, from Newport, who stomps into the dressing room with the swagger of a 90s supermodel. Then you have Tia Kofi who, as a queen, is high-to-mid ranking, but as a behind-the-scenes talking-head action-describer is absolutely unparalleled; and Ginny Lemon, who is what would happen if you killed Su Pollard then resurrected her, for some reason.
Other queens will undoubtedly capture your own imaginations – this week’s finale sees them recreate their “home-town heroes”, featuring some very loose interpretations of the geography of a “home town”, and Liz Hurley purring at them all in reverent honour – or jangle darker feelings inside of you, such as A’Whora, a Nottinghamshire queen whom I’m afraid to say I hate.
Weird how reality TV can make you do this. Within one little hour of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK I have favourites, unfavourites, and a simmering rivalry with a perfectly nice-seeming drag queen from Worksop (why do I not like A’Whora? What is my problem?). This, I suppose, is the success of the format: you expect to settle in for a nice hour of entertainment, and somehow you leave it with an enemy. Just when I thought I’d completed TV, this happens. I’m not mad about it.

'She was deep into it': Ashli Babbitt, killed in Capitol riot, was devoted conspiracy theorist

In late December, the incoming vice-president, Kamala Harris, tweeted about her plans for the first hundred days of the Biden administration. She promised “to ensure Americans mask up, distribute 100M shots, and get students safely back to school”.
Among the thousands of responses was an angry tweet from a 35-year-old air force veteran in San Diego.
“No the fuck you will not!” Ashli Babbitt replied to Harris. “No masks, no you, no Biden the kid raper, no vaccines...sit your fraudulent ass down…we the ppl bitch!”
Babbitt wasn’t just tweeting. She had a plan to fly to Washington DC the very next week to take part in a major public demonstration demanding that Donald Trump, not Joe Biden, be sworn in as president.
Babbitt was shot to death during Trump supporters’ chaotic invasion of the Capitol, officials said, while four other people, including a Capitol police officer, also died.
In the days since Babbitt and other Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building on 6 January, forcing lawmakers to flee or hide, her social media has been scoured for insights into her radicalization.
Babbitt’s Twitter account shows a woman deeply engaged for months with a conspiracy theory that painted Democratic lawmakers as evil pedophiles, and then persuaded, and infuriated, by Trump and his allies’ lies about election fraud.
For weeks before she joined the mob in Washington, Babbitt had been retweeting false claims from Trump himself, as well as the pro-Trump lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, alleging massive voter fraud and asserting that Trump had won the 2020 election.
Many of Babbitt’s tweets, according to extremism experts, also marked her as a believer in QAnon, a conspiracy theory that claims Donald Trump has been trying to save the world from a cabal of satanic pedophiles, including Democratic politicians like Biden and Hollywood celebrities, and that he will soon bring his enemies to justice.
Babbitt had not been a leader or major influencer within the QAnon movement, according to Marc-André Argentino, a researcher who studies QAnon and other extremist groups. She had not posted a lot of original content or sold QAnon-themed merchandise. But she had tweeted regularly about the conspiracy theory since February 2020, and she had posted a lot on Twitter in general, about 50 posts a day, he said. On election day, she had posted 77 times.
Her social media also showed posts skeptical of masks and public health measures. She had responded with fury to an alert in early December that California public health officials were reinstating a stay-at-home order to prevent the spread of coronavirus, which was surging in southern California: “This is that commie bullshit.”
The QAnon conspiracy theory, although lurid in its claims about the torture of children, is very much a political movement, not just a personal delusion, experts say.
“The people that went to the Capitol weren’t just trying to save Trump, they were trying to stop the coming multiracial democracy” which they believed would institute “a radical leftist globalist agenda”, Joan Donovan, the research director at Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, said.
On Twitter, Babbitt had been sharing messages urging people like herself to take action, with messages like: “Your government doesn’t fear you anymore. That needs to change. ASAP.”
Babbitt was a small business owner and self-described libertarian. She owned a San Diego-based business, Fowler’s Pool Service and Supply, according to California business records. Her LinkedIn profile lists her as the company owner since May 2017.
In one tweet, first reported by Bellingcat, Babbitt said that she had voted for Barack Obama before voting for Trump. In recent months, she had become a devoted adherent of conspiracy theories boosted by Trump and others.
Babbitt also had a history of confrontational behavior. In 2016, she was charged with reckless endangerment, dangerous driving and malicious property damage in Maryland, but she was later acquitted, according to court records. A former girlfriend of Babbitt’s husband wrote in the application for a protection order against Babbitt that Babbitt had followed her in a car and rear-ended her three times, multiple news outlets reported.
“She was screaming at me and verbally threatening,” the complaint states.
Attempts to reach Babbitt’s family were unsuccessful.
Babbitt wrote that she believed the 6 January protest she was joining would be a pivotal moment for the country, and a fulfillment of some of the key events that QAnon believers had been expecting: “Nothing will stop us....they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light!” she tweeted the day before the rally, referencing key QAnon slogans.
Since 2018, QAnon has been identified as a potential domestic terror threat and linked to a series of violent and criminal acts.
Travis View, the host of the QAnon Anonymous podcast, said posts showed that Babbitt was “100% a dedicated QAnon follower. She was not casual about it. She was deep into it.”
At that 6 January rally, Babbitt would listen as Trump urged his supporters to march over to the Capitol building as lawmakers were in the process of officially certifying the 2020 election results, and confirming Biden’s victory.
“You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong,” Trump told them.
“It was amazing to get to see the president talk,” Babbitt said afterwards, in a Facebook video obtained by TMZ. “We are walking to the Capitol in a mob. There is a sea of nothing but red, white and blue patriots.” She was grinning.
At the Capitol, Babbitt would be among the crowds of Trump supporters who pushed and fought their way past the Capitol police and into the building itself, forcing lawmakers to flee or hide, and temporarily halting the certification of Biden’s election victory.
Multiple videos would capture the moment in a Capitol hallway where Babbitt was at the front of a crowd stopped at a door to the Speaker’s Lobby, which has been shut and barricaded. On the other side of the door were members of Congress and Capitol police protecting them, according to news reports.
Video obtained by the Washington Post shows Babbitt and other members of the mob shouting at a cluster of officers who are guarding the door, telling them to step aside, as other Trump supporters pound on the door’s glass, shattering it. The video shows the officers moving away from the door, and members of the crowd surging forward, shouting “Break it down” and “Let’s fucking go” as they try to break through the door.
Other widely circulated videos show Babbitt hopping up to push herself through one of the door’s glass panels, towards the legislators at the other end of the hallway, as a man shouts “Bust it down!” The footage shows a shot ringing out, and Babbitt falling to the ground. Officials would later confirm that she had been shot by a capitol police officer, and that the shooting is under investigation.
Lawmakers from both parties who were present at the moment when Babbitt was shot have spoken out about the dangerous behavior of the crowd.
“The mob was going to come through the door; there was a lot of members and staff that were in danger at the time,” the Oklahoma Republican congressman Markwayne Mullin said, according to Fox News.
He defended the police officer’s decision to shoot Babbitt: “His actions will be judged in a lot of different ways moving forward, but his actions I believe saved people’s lives even more. Unfortunately, it did take one, though.”
In interviews, members of Babbitt’s family have defended her political views, and her anger.
“My sister was a normal Californian,” her brother, Roger Witthoeft, told the New York Times. “The issues she was mad about were the things all of us are mad about.”
Babbitt had served in the military for 14 years, Witthoeft said. “If you feel like you gave the majority of your life to your country and you’re not being listened to, that is a hard pill to swallow. That’s why she was upset.”

Three boroughs in and around London have become Covid hot-spots, with the worst infection rates in the country, government data has revealed.
|
Three boroughs in and around London have become Covid hot-spots, with the worst infection rates in the country, government data has revealed.
Barking and Dagenham, in east London, currently has the nation’s highest infection rate, with 1,708 virus cases per 100,000 people.
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates that a staggering one in 16 people have the virus in the area, compared to around one in 50 people across England, and one in 30 in London as a whole.
The second worst-hit area in the country is the neighbouring borough of Redbridge, with 1,571 cases per 100,000 people, while Thurrock, in Essex, now ranks third with 1,566.5 infections per 100,000.
The data comes as health chiefs and MPs in the east of London and Essex warned that hospital services risk being overwhelmed due to the recent surge in Covid admissions.
Newham, Havering, Tower Hamlets, Castle Point, Epping Forest, Harlow, Basildon and Brentwood have all recorded rates of more than 1,200 per 100,000 in the past seven days.
Government data also shows that the numbers of cases are increasing rapidly, with Barking and Dagenham only having 300 cases per 100,000 just four weeks prior.
An intensive care nurse told the Sunday Times: ‘You go home each night thinking, “Wow, that was a terrible, terrible day — tomorrow can’t possibly be that bad”. And then it is. And it’s actually worse than the day before.”
Nick Hulme, chief executive of East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust, said the NHS was in a ‘very, very serious situation’, and noted that it was the worst he had seen in his career ‘by a long stretch’.
Dr Simon Tavabie, who works at a main east London hospital, said he felt overwhelmed by the ‘sheer volume [of people] who are dying of this illness’. He added that some patients were dying in distressing circumstances, ‘breathless, gasping, and crying out’.
Public health officials say outbreaks are likely being driven by a combination of factors, such as high-density housing and deprivation. Residents in the boroughs may also be working jobs that can’t be done from home, therefore increasing their risk of catching the virus.
Barking and Dagenham is also close to Kent, where it is believed the mutated variant of the virus evolved. The new variant of the virus is up to 70% more infectious than other strains.

San Francisco rents are plummeting – but its housing crisis could get worse

Apartment rental prices in San Francisco – a city mocked for being so unaffordable that residents pay more than a grand each month to sleep in a bunk bed and share space with strangers – have plummeted during the coronavirus crisis, falling roughly 24% over the last year, according to new data.
It might seem like good news for a city long known for its dizzying rents. But the drop wasn’t enough to topple San Francisco from the top spot of the list of costliest cities compiled by the rental company Zumper. One-bedroom apartments on average still rent for a staggering $2,660 a month. Median single-family home prices in the city, meanwhile, have continued to rise, reaching an exorbitant $1.625m.
The numbers tell a troubling story about increasing inequality in the Bay Area, an issue compounded by Covid and the looming recession caused by the pandemic. Rents in the region are still too expensive for most residents, especially those who have lost income this year and were already clinging to the edge of a financial cliff. At the same time, tech workers and other high earners who easily adapted to work-from-home policies early in the pandemic while retaining big salaries have been able to lower their rental rates or cash in on new opportunities to purchase homes with extremely low interest rates.
Even amid an exodus from the city, San Francisco’s housing crisis may be getting worse. “Perspective is really important – and it is still ridiculously expensive,” said Matt Regan, the senior vice-president of public policy at the Bay Area Economic Institute. “The magnitude of the crisis before Covid and the mismatch between the number of people looking for housing and the number of people who could afford what was available was so enormous that – even with a phenomenal drop for a rental – we are still in a crisis”.
Last spring, the California Housing Partnership Corporation (CHPC), an agency created by the state legislature in 1988 to assist non-profits and local governments to create and preserve affordable housing, calculated California needed roughly 1.3m more affordable rentals to meet housing needs. Faced with a costly recovery from the pandemic, the state may fall even further behind.
Municipalities in the Bay Area alone need to build more than 441,100 units over the next decade to meet housing demands, according to an assessment released this year by the California department of housing and community development (HCD). The region is already far off pace. In the last cycle, the Bay Area issued permits for only 9% of the low-income housing the agency said was needed and roughly 71% of permits for market-rate housing.
“We have been digging the hole deeper every year for decades and it’s going to take more than one year of cost depreciation to get out of it,” Regan said. “We are going to emerge from Covid and still have a housing crisis.”
The drop in rental prices has done little to curb the blow for residents who suffered economically this year, many as a result of unemployment caused by Covid-19 restrictions. Half of Bay Area renters have lost income since last March and 11% haven’t been able to keep up their payments, according to data from the US Census Bureau.
“The pandemic has added new layers to our pre-existing housing crisis,” said Sarah Treuhaft, the vice-president of research at Policy Link, an institution that studies racial and economic equity. “It has been a very unequal pandemic.”
Low-wage workers have been the hardest hit, especially those in the retail, restaurant, and hospitality industries. People of color, who were disproportionately put on the frontline in low-paying jobs have borne the brunt. “Black workers have been hit so much harder than all others,” Treuhaft said, adding that census data shows roughly 85% of Black workers in California filed for unemployment last year compared with 39% of white workers. Nearly all Black workers in the state without a college education have been affected financially: 99% have filed for financial help.
“From history we know that recessions tend to exacerbate inequality,” Treuhaft said. The impact is already being felt – and it’s likely to have a lasting effect.
After the Great Recession, it took more than a decade for middle class workers to recover. This time, too, experts expect the virus to have long-lasting economic effects. “The people who lost their jobs are not going to be able to get back into the labor market any time soon,” said Karen Chapple, faculty director and professor of city and regional planning at the University of California, Berkeley. “You end up having millions of folks who have diminished earnings. That is going to affect their ability to afford housing, or even just to stay in the middle class.”
Chapple, who studies inequalities in the planning, development, and governance and oversees the Urban Displacement Project, a research initiative, expects that college grads will join low-income workers, people of color, and women – the people who have fallen in large numbers from the labor market this year – in seeing their long-term earning potential diminish. That means the pain could be felt for years to come, with lower wages affecting housing and displacement.
Rent moratoriums, Chapple said, were a Band-Aid solution unless they were paired with the debt relief renters would need when the legislation expires. Most would not be able to afford months’ worth of payments, especially after losing income. And it would not just affect the poor. “It is also now affecting the middle class and moderate income households,” she said.
The financial crunch brought on by the recovery and the recession will make it harder for states and local governments to invest in new housing. “You are going to have a lot of cities strapped in the next few years,” she said. “That is going to cause a lot of local disinvestment and a lot of displacement.”
The pandemic has already changed California’s approach to the housing crisis and hampered its efforts to increase the number of affordable units, according to a report from the state’s legislative analyst’s Office. The governor, Gavin Newsom, had to scrap a proposal to invest $750m into the California Access to Housing and Services (CAAHS) fund and lawmakers have shifted focus to short-term solutions needed to keep people off the streets. Newsom has signed more than a dozen new housing bills and California lawmakers have developed a legislative package aimed at keeping people housed and increasing housing supply, but it will still be a challenge to maintain momentum amid tight resources and waning construction incentives.
During a press conference on Friday, Newsom emphasized that housing production remained a top priority and outlined his new 2021 budget proposal. He has allocated an additional $500m in new low-income housing tax credits to encourage more production and announced the creation of a new accountability office within the state’s housing department to keep cities on track. It’s still unclear how exactly the new unit will enforce policies, but after years of missing targets, the state is ready to add teeth to its ambitious housing goals.
“People who were previously not in need of assistance are now going to need it,” Matt Schwartz, president and CEO of the California Housing Partnership, told KQED. “That’s something we’re all very concerned about. We had around 1.4 to 1.3 million households who were living without an affordable place in California. Now that number is going to grow.”
Anthemos Georgiades, Zumper’s CEO, thinks rental prices in the city will jump up again once the pandemic subsides. People will return and the city’s luxury market, its restaurants, yoga studios and smoothie shops will rebound with them.
“I think the test of time will be whether those renters who are clearly not renewing their leases in San Francisco now, whether they come back,” Georgiades said.
“Once the market does reset and people come back, we are right back to the same problem,” he added. “It is a bit like Groundhog Day – we are never going to build enough housing if San Francisco encounters its next boom.”

Muslim girl's parents are threatened with legal action by school

A Muslim schoolgirl's parents have been threatened with legal action for refusing to send her to school in a short skirt because it is 'against her religious beliefs'.
Siham Hamud has been wearing an ankle-length skirt to school for years, but was shocked when teachers allegedly said the attire was incorrect school uniform last month.
The 12-year-old said she felt 'bullied' by the school because of her religious beliefs.
Her father Idris Hamud, 55, said Siham was sent home from school to change every day in December, and told to come back wearing the correct uniform - but she refused.
Uxbridge High School says girls should wear black trousers or a black pleated skirt from official uniform suppliers - which the family claims falls above the knee.
But dad-of-eight Idris claims both uniform choices contravene the family's strict religious beliefs as the traditional branch of Islam they follow believes women should only wear long skirts.
The school in Hillingdon, Middlesex, has now threatened to action steps to take Idris and wife Salma Yusuf, 44, to court over Siham's alleged unauthorised absences.
Siham, who is currently studying from home due to Covid lockdown restrictions, said: 'It feels like bullying because of what I believe.
'I think they should just let me wear my school uniform to school.
'I like school normally, and English, drama and RE are my favourite lessons but I couldn't attend.
'I find it annoying because I've missed a month of school, so I have to catch up a lot. I wish I could just have gone to school as normal.
'It makes me feel left out, because I can't see my friends either. They aren't accepting me for my religion and that's wrong.
'I feel confused and annoyed that I can't wear what I want for my religion. I hope they'll change their rules so that girls like me wear skirts to school.'
Idris, an athletics coach, added: 'My daughter is being denied an education because of her religious beliefs.
'All Siham wants to do is to wear a skirt which is a few centimetres longer than her classmates - and I don't know why the school has such a problem with this.
'She is sent home to change into a shorter skirt then return to school later that day - but she isn't going to change her beliefs in an hour.
'The school is threatening to take legal action against me, but I'm not forcing her to wear a longer skirt - it's her faith and her decision to make.
'She used to love school, but now she goes to school crying because of this - it's heartbreaking.'
The family said they have recently discovered a new school uniform rule about skirts was introduced two years ago, stating shorter school-branded skirts had to be worn.
But the family claim they didn't know - and Siham continued wearing her longer skirt, unaware she was breaking any rules, until she was pulled up on December 1.
She was sent home to change - but didn't return to school - and the same thing happened each day for the three weeks of term in December, her family said.
It comes despite older sisters Sumayyah, 19, and Ilham, 17, having both worn the longer skirts to school without issue.
Dad Idris said they follow a traditional branch of Islam, which means they 'want to believe in their religion in a pure way'.
He says this means women should only wear long skirts.
The school sent her parents a letter threatening legal action against them for their daughters alleged unauthorised absences on December 9.
It said: 'Siham's absence is being recorded as unauthorised. Unauthorised absence may result in a fine being issued, or legal action being taken against the adults who have parental responsibility or day-to-day care of your child.
'Legal action can be in the form of a penalty notice or a summons to the magistrates' court.
'I must ask that you support the school and your daughter by ensuring that she attends school in full school uniform with immediate effect.'
Idris added: 'I don't know why her skirt has suddenly become such an issue.
'She's always been a bright girl, one of the top in her class, and she loved school - and now they just keep sending her home.
'Siham makes her own decisions about her religion, and I can't make her wear clothes she doesn't want to wear, so neither should the school.
'She is being denied an education because of her religious beliefs, and I don't know how anyone can get away with that.'
While Siham has been learning from home since the new term began, Idris expects the issue to return once face-to-face teaching resumes.
He said the issue is due to be discussed on a complaints panel with the school governors later this month.
The school states on their website: 'Every lesson is important and school should not be missed unless it is completely unavoidable.
'The school will report any unauthorised or continued absences to the participation team, who will then contact the parent to discuss the reasons for the absences.
'Legal action and Fixed Penalty Notices (fines) are issued for students who do not attend school regularly.'
The school's principal, Nigel Clemens, added: 'This matter is currently subject to examination through the formal school complaints policy.
'It would therefore not be appropriate to comment further at this time.'

Mary Berry had to use binoculars to judge Celebrity Best Home Cook from a balcony.
The BBC was looking to protect the 85-year-old presenter during the coronavirus pandemic, and producers put some unusual measures in place by installing a specially-built 15ft viewing platform looming over the kitchen.
As reported by The Sun’s Bizarre TV column, Mary had been shouting questions down to the contestants from her vantage point with a pair of binoculars ensuring she can see everything going on.
Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom Read Wilson – a contestant on the upcoming series – said: ‘Mary, for the whole thing, because of Covid, was on a kind of beautiful mezzanine that they built for her.
‘And they gave her a pair of beautiful opera glasses so she could look over and see what we’re up to, which was just great.
‘I couldn’t be happier about her being there.’
The programme is set to air on BBC One later in 2021, and viewers will only see the former Great British Bake Off judge – who appears alongside Chris Bavin, Claudia Winkleman and Angela Hartnett – come down from her balcony to judge the finished dishes.
For those moments, she samples the meals from individual plates on tables all socially distanced from others in the studio.
Meanwhile, Mary recently admitted she was ‘immensely proud’ to be recognised with a damehood in the Queen’s Birthday Honours last year.
The star – who doesn’t use the title professionally – said: ‘I’m immensely proud. I only had one O-level – well, you could divide that into cooking and dressmaking – so it’s really special for me.
‘My parents and my brothers, who are no longer here, would have been chuffed to bits to see me receive it.
‘My aim is to make people enjoy cooking as much as I do, and to pass on the skill in a very simple way that I’ve learnt. I love the thought of people cooking at home, and me holding their hand while they do it.’
Celebrity Best Home Cook airs later this year on BBC One.

Tributes paid to 'much loved' restaurant owner who died in carjacking

Tributes have been paid to a 'kind' and 'much-loved' restaurant owner who died after being run over with his own car during a carjacking - with police arresting a 14-year-old boy in connection with the incident.
Haji Mohammed Hedayatul Islam - known as Nowab Miah - was delivering a takeaway on Friday evening when thieves stole his silver Mercedes.
It's thought the 53-year-old was run over as he tried to stop the vehicle being taken.
Mr Miah owned the Marple Spice restaurant in Marple, Stockport.
On the Marple Spice Facebook page, Mr Miah's son, Shaf Nowab, posted: 'I am saddened to announce that my father, my mentor, my role model ... has sadly left this world surrounded by close family.
'Many of your know him as the boss of Marple Spice and I would like to thank you all for your prayers and heartfelt messages.
'Me and my family ask that you keep us in your prayers and allow my family to come to terms with this loss.'
Announcing the restaurant would be closed for the next few days, a later post read: 'We have been overwhelmed by the LOVE and support shown by the LOCAL community.
'Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers during this truly difficult time.'
Friends and family have raised more than £7,000 in the restaurant owner's memory, with donations going to support children in Bangladesh.
Organiser of the GoFundMe page, Jane Normie, said: 'As a Community we are all so saddened to hear that a precious life has been lost.'
Police were called to a report of a collision at the junction of Lyme Grove and Hazel Avenue, in Romiley, just after 9pm.
Mr Miah, 53, from Hyde, Greater Manchester was taken to hospital in critical condition, where he died on Sunday afternoon.
Detectives have launched a murder investigation and a 14-year-old boy, who was arrested on suspicion of robbery, remains in custody.
Sheike Mohammad Zakaria posted: 'My Brother in laws younger brother Haji Mohammed Hedayatul Islam (Nowab Miah) has passed away today.
'To all our friends and family please keep him in your prayers, he did not deserve the fate that he had come to. He was a kind, loving man.'
Hundreds of people also left messages for Mr Miah, who was an executive committee member for Hyde Jamia Mosque & Islamic Centre, describing him as a 'much loved man' and 'lovely, hard-working and kind-hearted'.
Detectives have now launched a murder investigation and are continuing to look for the silver Mercedes which they believe was stolen in the incident, on the junction of Lyme Grove and Hazel Avenue.
Chief Inspector Liam Boden said: 'This is an extremely tragic case which has rocked the community and left a family utterly devastated.
'We believe there may have been others involved in the incident and a number of lines of inquiry are continuing to be carried out in order for us to find those responsible.
'We're still asking the public to come forward with any information that may assist us - even the smallest bit of information can prove vital.
'Anyone who may have seen a silver Mercedes in the area at the time or may have seen it in suspicious circumstances since is asked to get in touch - this vehicle could prove vital in our investigation.
'We're also keen for anyone with any CCTV or dash-cam footage to get in touch.;
Eyewitnesses spoke of their shock following the incident.
David Speed, 42, says the victim was delivering an Indian meal to his home when he saw his vehicle being taken.
Mr Speed told the Manchester Evening News that he heard the doorbell ring at the home on Hazel Avenue in Romiley before he heard the victim shout 'no, no, no'.
The victim ran to his car and tried to stop the thieves by clinging to the passenger window.
Mr Speed, a builder, said: 'I saw him running to the passenger door. He must have had the window open.
'He grabbed hold of the car and the car reversed a little. Then it pulled out and sped off with him holding onto it.
'They then sped off, leaving the victim in the middle of the road.'
Mr Speed said he grabbed some clothes and ran downstairs to help.
Neighbours were out on the street helping the man who was seriously injured, with a woman holding him.
He said: 'I phoned the takeaway company and got his registration. They phoned his son.
'He was bleeding everywhere. It was just horrible. I was just disgusted someone would do that.'
Anyone with information should call 0161 856 9821 or 0161 856 9790, quoting log number 2499 of 08/01/2021, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

One of UK's richest MPs on list shaming people 'for not paying minimum wage'

One of the UK’s richest MP has been ‘named and shamed’ for failing to pay his staff the national minimum wage.

One of the UK’s richest MP has been ‘named and shamed’ for failing to pay his staff the national minimum wage.
Richard Drax, whose ancestors ran a slave plantation on land he later inherited, is a director at Morden Estates Company which appears on a Government list of ‘rogue employers’, who failed to pay the national minimum wage.
The firm was one of 139 investigated by the Government between 2016 to 2018 for failing to pay staff the lowest amount it is legally required to.
The full list of companies – which includes Tesco, Superdrug and Pizza Hut – was published on On New Year’s Eve and showed those failing to pay £6.7 million to more than 95,000 workers.
South Dorset MP Mr Drax’s Morden Estates Company was found to have underpaid 43 workers by a total of £2,761.
But the Conservative – who is reportedly the wealthiest landowner MP and has an estimated wealth of up to £150 million – claims the finding is a misunderstanding linked to shooting birds for sport.
He claims the staff paid less than the minimum wage were ‘beaters’ – who flush the animals out of their cover to be shot – and that it is traditional for them to receive a ‘modest sum’.
Mr Drax has previously voted against raising the minimum wage.
But Dorset Council’s Lib Dem opposition leader Nick Ireland said: ‘It is disappointing though unsurprising that one of the richest MPs who is also the second largest landowner in Dorset (after the National Trust) can’t pay his employees the basic minimum wage.
‘Let alone a real living wage, when many of his constituents have to survive on zero hours contracts and Universal Credit.
‘As a community leader he should be setting an example for others to follow and yet again he’s fallen woefully short.’
The Drax estate includes Charborough House in South Dorset, which has at least 7,000 acres of land where organises pheasant and partridge shooting days.
Mr Drax said: ‘The 2017 case relates to the occasional casual engagement of beaters in relation to the estate sporting business.
‘This is an activity which is widely regarded as recreational and participants have, for generations, attended because they enjoy the countryside and the camaraderie.
‘A modest sum was paid to participants in acknowledgement of their contribution and costs.’
He continued: ‘The estate was operating in accordance with accepted industry best practice and sought to cooperate fully with HMRC as soon as it was highlighted that the matter could be a technical infringement of the minimum wage regulations.
‘The case was concluded quickly and all sums due were settled at the time.
‘No further issues or concerns have been raised since.’
Unite Union’s general secretary Len McCluskey said: ‘It’s good to see that robbing employers are being shamed, deservedly, again but it would be far better to make stealing unappealing in the first place.
‘Too many bad bosses get away with it. The rogues don’t fear the inspector’s knock at the door.
‘They probably think, with justification, that they have more chance of winning the lottery than being caught for their crimes.’
Business Minister Paul Scully said: ‘Paying the minimum wage is not optional, it is the law.
‘It is never acceptable for any employer to short-change their workers, but it is especially disappointing to see huge household names who absolutely should know better on this list.
‘This should serve as a wake-up call to named employers and a reminder to everyone of the importance of paying workers what they are legally entitled to.
‘Make no mistake, those who fail to follow minimum wage rules will be caught out and made to pay up.’
Last month it was revealed that Drax – who has been an MP since 2010 – had inherited the 250-hectare Drax Hall Plantation in Barbados.
His ancestor made slaves work for them on the plantation for more than 200 years.
Earlier this month Labour’s Diane Abbott tweeted: ‘Ancestors of millionaire Tory MP Richard Drax made a huge fortune through slavery. Drax Hall plantations between 1640 & 1836 saw the deaths of tens of thousands of African slaves in brutal conditions.
‘His fortune is stained with the blood. He should pay reparations.’

Melania Trump has said ‘violence is never acceptable’ as she moves to condemn last week’s Capitol riot.

Melania Trump has said ‘violence is never acceptable’ as she moves to condemn last week’s Capitol riot.
Speaking for the first time since Wednesday’s events, the first lady has today said she is ‘disappointed and disheartened’ by the violence that was incited by her husband.
In a letter published by the White House, she has also called for a period of national ‘healing’ as the couple prepare to leave office on January 20.
Her comments come after five people died when supporters of Donald Trump supporters stormed through Congress while it certified Joe Biden’s victory.
Melania’s letter also hit out at ‘salacious gossip and unwarranted personal attacks on me’ following claims that she was attending a photoshoot as the violence unfolded.
She did however say it ‘has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your first lady’ as she outlined her view of ‘the path forward’.
The letter said: ‘I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week.
I find it shameful that surrounding these tragic events there has been salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me – from people who are looking to be relevant and have an agenda.
‘This time is solely about healing our country and its citizens. It should not be used for personal gain.
‘Our nation must heal in a civil manner. Make no mistake about it, I absolutely condemn the violence that has occurred on our Nation’s Capitol, violence is never acceptable.
‘It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your first lady. I want to thank the millions of Americans who supported my husband and me over the past 4 years.’
Melania went on to offer prayers to the families of the five people who sadly died during Wednesday’s insurrection at the Capitol building. She said her ‘heart goes out’ to those who lost a loved one during riot.
She also appealed for people to ‘stop the violence’ and encouraged against aggression based on political views.
Melania said: ‘I implore people to stop the violence, never make assumptions based on the color of a person’s skin or use differing political ideologies as a basis for aggression and viciousness.
‘We must listen to one another, focus on what unites us, and rise above what divides us.
‘As an American, I am proud of our freedom to express our viewpoints without persecution. It is one of the paramount ideals which America is fundamentally built on.
‘With that in mind, I would like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives.
‘Most importantly, I ask for healing, grace, understanding, and peace for our great Nation.’

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Arsenal are looking to sign a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window amid speculation Runar Alex Runarsson will leave the club after just four months.

Mikel Arteta has confirmed that Arsenal are looking to sign a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window amid speculation Runar Alex Runarsson will leave the club after just four months.
The Gunners brought in the Iceland international from Dijon in the summer after Emi Martinez was sold to Aston Villa, though Runarsson was never Arsenal’s top target and was always seen as more of a third-choice keeper.
Runarsson has looked nervy in his outings for the north London club, making a big mistake in the Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City, and Arsenal are reportedly looking to send him out on loan.
But with Matt Macey also having left that means Arsenal need reinforcements between the sticks and Arteta says he was not happy with how the goalkeeping situation was resolved in the summer and ideally wants to bring in a new deputy shot-stopper this month.
Asked if Macey’s departure will see a new keeper come in, Arteta said: ‘We are assessing the situation with the three positions on the goalkeeping area and we will find a different solution, probably in this window.’
On whether Runarsson would be sent out on loan, he replied: ‘There is nothing there yet.’
Probed further on whether that means he could still leave this month, Arteta continued: ‘We are assessing what is going to happen with the three positions.
‘The discussion we had in the summer within the club are a little bit different to what actually happened because of the transfer window and the situation that developed with Emi.
‘We didn’t have much time to do what we really wanted to do and we decided to assess the situation in this window which is what we are trying to do and we will make a decision on how we want to move forward in those three positions.’
In addition to a new goalkeeper, Arsenal are also in the market for a creative playmaker – with the likes of Norwich City’s Emi Buendia and Dortmund star Julian Brandt linked – but Arteta was coy on potential incomings.
Asked about the links with both Buendia and free agent Diego Costa, Arteta replied: ‘We get linked with players that we haven’t even discussed so I’m not going to go name by name.’

The Government has reportedly ruled out scrapping support bubbles as part of its crackdown on lockdown compliance.

The Government has reportedly ruled out scrapping support bubbles as part of its crackdown on lockdown compliance.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is thought to have discussed the prospect of introducing tougher controls to ensure the public abide by the restrictions, with the new highly-contagious variant raising the stakes.
Reports quoted a Government source as suggesting restrictions on exercise could be tightened amid concerns people are using exceptions to the ‘stay at home’ rules to socialise.
There had been fears support bubbles could be done away with as part of the toughened measures, which could also see limits once again placed on the number of people allowed into supermarkets, nurseries closed and face masks made compulsory.
However, according to LBC, a Number 10 source has said that getting rid of support bubbles is ‘categorically not going to happen’.
The majority of outbreaks examined by Public Health England last week came from care homes, where 749 incidents were recorded.
A total of 166 came from workplaces, 79 from hospitals, 33 were from educational settings such as schools and 11 were from food outlets. Some 257 incidents were recorded as being from other settings.
Some experts have said the current lockdown measures are not strict enough, in the face of the more transmissible variant which has spread rapidly in many parts of the country.
When asked today about whether the Government would soon be introducing stricter lockdown restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said they are ‘constantly keeping things under review’.
He said: ‘What matters is that people follow the rules, that’s the most important thing, and stay at home wherever possible.’

Phillip Schofield and Matthew Wright clashed on This Morning as they discussed whether coronavirus ‘trumped’ people’s mental health during the pandemic.

Phillip Schofield and Matthew Wright clashed on This Morning as they discussed whether coronavirus ‘trumped’ people’s mental health during the pandemic.
Speaking via video link to Phillip and Holly Willoughby on Monday’s instalment, Matthew said that he believes the virus ‘should come first’ over people’s mental health.
Last week the TV presenter revealed he feared that his entire family had contracted Covid-19, after his neighbour tested positive for the virus.
The 55-year-old appeared alongside radio host Julia Hartley-Brewer where they discussed the latest news headlines.
The heated debate came about as they discussed the reports that Boris Johnson is going to announce ‘tighter lockdown restrictions’ today.
The alleged restrictions will mean compulsory mask wearing outside and a ban on social bubbles.
‘I heard over the weekend of five 17-year-olds who took their own lives because they can’t take this any more,’ Phillip began.
‘Now, if officials say, this is only speculation at the moment that they are set to abolish support bubbles.
‘I would say if you start taking support bubbles away from people then you once again throw the mental health of every generation in this country into utter chaos, Matthew?’
‘Mental health was in crisis before Covid. Suicides hit a peak in 2019 as I recall,’ Matthew replied.
‘Cancer patients are being denied treatments as well, the reason for that is that there are more people with Covid facing imminent death.’
‘This is only alleged, we don’t know if this is actually going to happen this afternoon,’ Phillip chipped in. ‘If this is the case would you take away people’s social bubbles?’
Matthew went on to explain that he is worried he gave one of his elderly neighbours, who is in his social bubble, Covid.
He continued: ‘I have spent the last two weeks worrying that I have given the old boy in the old folks’ home, who has been in our bubble for the last year. I’ve worried that I have given him Covid as he came to our house legally on Christmas Day.’
‘Matthew where have you been to have got it?’ Phillip interrupted.
‘We don’t know where we got it,’ he replied. ‘We think possibly from [my daughter] Cassady from one of her little chums or maybe from the pub Friday 18th before lockdown.’
‘It all sounds a bit hysterical Matthew,’ Phillip weighed in.
‘Yes, you’ve got to be very careful here, yes you’ve got to look after people but what about the support you’ve given that “old guy” as you’ve called him.
‘The reason he’s in your bubble is that I’m assuming that he’s completely on his own. Take away that bubble and that guy is on his own.’
‘It’s a very difficult line,’ Matthew replied.
‘I am phoning him every day to find out that he is OK and he had tightness of chest between Christmas and New Year and I started totally panicking about it, but he’s come out the other side.
‘He hasn’t had a test result back yet and he’s had no symptoms. His mental health would have undoubtedly suffered if he was on his own.
‘But if he died of Covid I would suggest that trumps mental health concerns.’
‘It’s a nightmare for medics to try and balance the different needs of the country,’ he added.
‘But at the moment with Covid in full swing. I think it should be Covid first.’

Kars’ta engellilere yönelik ilk kez çok amaçlı yaşam merkezi kuruluyor. Serhat Kalkınma Ajansı’nın 6.Küçük Ölçekli Altyapı Mali Destek Programı’na “Gündüzlü Engelsiz Yaşam Merkezi” projesiyle başvuran ve projesi mali destek almaya hak kazanan Kars Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar İl Müdürlüğü ile Ajans arasında sözleşme imzalandı.

Proje kapsamında, Kars kent merkezi ve ilçelerinde yaşayan yaklaşık 300 engelli ve 200 engelli ailesine yönelik çok amaçlı yaşam merkezi kurulacak. Kurulacak çok amaçlı yaşam merkezinde, engelli bireylerin bakım, rehabilitasyon, danışmanlık ve istihdam rehberliği ihtiyaçları karşılanacak, destek bakım hizmeti sunulacak ve iş uğraşı atölyeleri kurularak meslek sahibi olmaları sağlanacak. Proje aynı zamanda, her yaş grubundan kadın ve erkek engelli bireylerin yaşam standartlarını geliştirmeyi, resim, müzik, el sanatları, yöresel ürün ve okuma yazma kursları aracılığıyla sosyal yaşama daha aktif katılmalarını arttırmayı da amaçlıyor.
