| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 02:10 AM PST Trump aide Mark Meadows has Covid-19; total number of cases in Poland exceeds 500,000; US sees record 120,000 cases in a day
Poland reported a record 27,875 new coronavirus cases on Saturday, taking the total number of reported cases to more than 500,000. Reuters reports: Infections have risen sharply over the last month, with doctors telling Polish media that the country is running out of hospital beds, ventilators and medics. On Friday, Poland saw a record 445 coronavirus-related deaths. On Saturday, the country recorded 349.
The UK's first mass Covid testing trial is taking place in Liverpool. Six new testing centres opened their doors to Liverpudlians at midday on Friday as part of the government's Operation Moonshot drive, which aims to eventually test up to 10 million people a day. Liverpool's director of public health, Matt Ashton, said the city's mass testing pilot had shown positive signs on its first day of operation. It was the first day yesterday, and we didn't open first thing, we opened at lunchtime and had six of the asymptomatic testing centres open. We are still working on the numbers, but we think [there were] about 1,500-2,000 people per testing centre, so really good numbers and really good interest, so it was very encouraging.

| Green groups denounce Brazil's 'sham' Amazon tour for foreign diplomats Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST Campaigners say visit was 'media propaganda' as officials failed to stop at any devastated rainforest areas Environmentalists have criticised a three-day tour of the Amazon that the Brazilian government staged for foreign ambassadors as a "sham" and "media propaganda" after it failed to stop at any environmentally devastated areas. The tour ended on Friday and focused on better-protected areas of the northern Amazon. "The government prepared an itinerary that does not show the reality of the Amazon – the abandonment of indigenous peoples, the land grabbing, the illegal mining and the uncontrolled deforestation. It is a sham," said Marcio Astrini, executive director of the Climate Observatory, an umbrella group of environmental NGOs. Continue reading... |
| Johnson and EU commission chief to hold talks before decisive week for Brexit deal Posted: 06 Nov 2020 10:04 AM PST Phonecall with Ursula von der Leyen could be final chance for PM to avert no-deal Brexit Boris Johnson and the European commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, will hold talks on Saturday before a potentially decisive week in the Brexit negotiations, amid growing concern in Brussels at the lack of progress. UK sources played down expectations of a breakthrough moment but with time short for parliamentary ratification the phonecall may prove to be the final chance for a political intervention in the troubled talks.

| Thieves steal luxury goods worth €600,000 from Paris home of Saudi princess Posted: 06 Nov 2020 06:37 PM PST The 47-year-old woman has been admitted to hospital with shock after discovering the loss of bags, watches and furs Thieves have taken worth hundreds of thousands of euros of high-end goods from the Paris home of a Saudi princess, a source close to the case has said. The 47-year-old princess, who had not set foot in the apartment since August, discovered on returning that bags, watches, jewellery and furs worth some €600,000 (£540,000) were missing.

| Turkey's central bank chief ousted after lira plunges to record lows Posted: 06 Nov 2020 09:41 PM PST President appoints ex-finance minister to role after saying country being squeezed in 'devil's triangle of interest and exchange rates and inflation' The Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has removed the governor of the country's central bank from his post after the lira currency hit record lows, having lost 30% of its value since the start of the year. The decision to replace Murat Uysal as governor was made by presidential decree and announced in the country's official gazette early on Saturday. It was not immediately clear why Uysal was removed.

| Palestinian prisoner agrees to end hunger strike after 100 days Posted: 06 Nov 2020 05:42 PM PST Maher al-Akhras, 49, who has refused to eat since being arrested in July, will be released by Israeli authorities on 26 November A Palestinian prisoner held by Israel has agreed to end more than 100 days of hunger strike, his family and a prisoner rights' advocate have said, claiming he had received assurances from Israeli authorities that his open-ended detention would not be extended beyond the end of November. Maher al-Akhras, 49, has refused to eat since he was arrested in July and locked up under administrative detention, a policy Israel uses to hold Palestinians without charges on suspicion of undisclosed security offenses. These renewable detention orders have come under heavy criticism from Palestinians and human rights groups, which allege the policy violates the right to due process. Continue reading... |
| 'A backlash against a patriarchal culture': How Polish protests go beyond abortion rights Posted: 06 Nov 2020 05:28 AM PST Mass demonstrations have exposed underlying anger at political and religious interference in people's everyday lives For 14 nights they have marched, enraged by a near-total ban on abortion that has stirred a generation to stage the largest mass demonstrations that Poland has seen since Solidarność toppled the communist regime in the 1980s. Until soaring coronavirus numbers and a looming national lockdown made it almost impossible, up to a million people nightly defied a government ban on protests, taking to the streets from Warsaw to Łódź, Poznań to Wrocław, Gdańsk to Kraków.

| Sound of the city: monkeys shown to prefer traffic over jungle noise Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:27 PM PST Experiment let the primates choose what they wanted to hear, with rumbling vehicles thought to mimic elements of their own communications They may be naturally suited to swinging in rainforests, but monkeys in a Finnish zoo have demonstrated a "significant" preference for traffic sounds instead of the noises of the jungle, researchers have found. As part of an experiment to see how technology could improve the wellbeing of captive animals, researchers installed a tunnel fitted with sensors in the enclosure of the monkeys at Helsinki's Korkeasaari zoo, giving the primates the chance to choose to listen to the sounds of rain, traffic, zen sounds or dance music.

| Johnny Depp says he has been asked to resign from Fantastic Beasts franchise Posted: 06 Nov 2020 08:53 AM PST Actor has announced he will be exiting the Harry Potter prequel series after losing his libel case over allegations of assault towards ex-wife Amber Heard Johnny Depp is set to exit the Fantastic Beasts franchise after being asked to resign by Warner Bros.

| Independent shops hit out at high street chains trading during lockdown Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST Call for crackdown on firms such as Carpetright, The Range and Ryman for selling 'non-essential' goods Thousands of independent retailers have urged the government to crack down on major chains such as The Range, Carpetright and Ryman for continuing to trade during lockdown despite largely selling "non-essential" goods. Andrew Goodacre, the chief executive of Bira, a trade association representing 3,000 independent retailers, said his members were furious that large homewares and other non-food businesses were continuing to trade while small businesses were sticking to the rules. "They are using words like injustice, unfair and un-level playing field," he said. Continue reading... |
| Couples 'heartbroken and exhausted' as English weddings cancelled – again Posted: 06 Nov 2020 11:00 PM PST Couples alter weddings up to four times amid constantly changing Covid rules They have had to reschedule the best day of their lives not once, twice or thrice – but four times. Now couples forced to alter their wedding plans repeatedly due to changing coronavirus measures have told of being left "heartbroken and exhausted", amid a lack of government support for the wedding industry. Under the regulations for England's second national lockdown this week, weddings will not be permitted to take place except where one of those getting married is seriously ill and not expected to recover. These ceremonies will be limited to six people, leaving thousands more couples scrambling to rearrange their nuptials. Continue reading... |

| UK and others look for lessons from Slovakia's Covid mass-testing project Posted: 06 Nov 2020 02:03 AM PST Downing Street sent advisers before UK's large-scale testing programme in Liverpool Authorities in Slovakia say they hope a nationwide programme in which two-thirds of the country's population were tested for Covid-19 in just two days last weekend will halve the number of cases of the virus in the country. The Slovak testing programme has drawn interest from across Europe, as debates continue about whether or not blanket testing is the best way to fight coronavirus. A Downing Street team travelled to Slovakia last weekend to witness the testing, keen to draw lessons before a mass testing programme due to be launched in Liverpool this weekend.

| Kylie Minogue: ‘It’s time to dress in sequins and glitter through the darkness’ Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST For 33 years the singer has been a byword for pop joy. She talks to Laura Snapes about disco, breakups and moving on from division By the time you read this, two pivotal issues should soon be settled. There is the small matter of the US election. Then there is the fate of Kylie Minogue. If her newly released 15th album, Disco, beats Little Mix's Confetti to No 1 next week, she will be the first female artist to top the UK album chart in five consecutive decades, a feat only previously achieved by Paul McCartney, John Lennon and Paul Weller. "I'm so glad I didn't know that when I was making this album," she says, her still thoroughly Australian accent expressing real relief. "I would have felt the pressure." It is a Friday afternoon in mid-October, and we are in a London photo studio, where Minogue has just finished an intensive two-hour, four-outfit shoot (this counts as elite-level efficiency, the Guardian's photographer tells me). The only trace left is her pink glittery eyeshadow, a contrast to her Bruce Springsteen T-shirt and khaki trousers. The ankle-shattering silver stilettos have been replaced with cream plimsolls. Sitting at the other end of a velvet sofa, Minogue folds and unfolds a black face mask, aptly embroidered with "More Joy" (not bespoke, it turns out, but a designer Christopher Kane job).

| Caught in time’s current: Margaret Atwood on grief, poetry and the past four years Posted: 07 Nov 2020 01:00 AM PST In an exclusive new poem and essay Margaret Atwood reflects on the passing of time and how to create lasting art in a rapidly changing world Read Dearly by Margaret Atwood I can say with a measure of certainty – having consulted my poor excuse for a journal – that my poem "Dearly" was written in the third week of August 2017, on a back street of Stratford, Ontario, Canada, with either a pencil or a rollerball (I'd have to check that) on some piece of paper that may have been anything from an old envelope to a shopping list to a notebook page; I'd have to check that as well, but I'm guessing notebook. The language is early 21st-century Canadian English, which accounts for the phrase "less of a shit", which would never have been used in, for instance, Tennyson's "In Memoriam AHH"; though something like it might have appeared in one of Chaucer's more vernacular tales – "lesse of a shitte", perhaps. This poem was then taken out of a drawer, its handwriting more or less deciphered by me, and typed as a digital document in December 2017. I know that part from the date and time identifier on the document. Continue reading... |
| ‘We need hope, not platitudes’: what I’ve learned as the parent of an ill child Posted: 06 Nov 2020 10:00 PM PST Fussy feeding, bad nights – after my daughter's birth, I thought I was just dealing with the typical challenges of a newborn. Then came an emergency visit to A&E... A chorus announces the arrival of birthday cake in the corridor of paediatric A&E in Lewisham hospital, London. Were it not for the paper curtain separating the corridor from our cubicle, we'd be at the party, but there's a different kind of bustle where we are. Two registrars, a junior doctor and a nurse are trying to draw blood from my baby for the second time today, and, after more attempts than I can count, have so far been unsuccessful. Her face contorts, she squawks, her little limbs flail. This needle has burst the bubble of new parenthood irreversibly. "I've never seen a baby with haemoglobin this low," the doctor tells me, grimacing. Continue reading... |

| Posted: 07 Nov 2020 01:00 AM PST Things that make life better, things that don't and things that are possibly proof of Covid brain fog For exciting tax purposes, I've been going through old bank statements, because I really know how to carpe diem. It's been quite amusing (in a relative, tax-based way) to see my patterns of spending. I don't want to call myself a creature of habit, but you wouldn't have to be Mystic Meg to predict my weekly trips to the bookshop (followed by lunch at the Greek restaurant around the corner – halloumi skewers and a glass of prosecco, because, as we already established, I know how to live). There's the annual holiday to Spain; the regular purchasing of patterned dresses, because you can never have too many; the late-night cab rides home, soundtracked by Magic FM; the ludicrous parties I throw every year for Christmas and my birthday, because while the candles on the cake say 42, when it comes to parties I'm actually eight. This is what I think of as the stuff of life, or at least the stuff of my life, and it is very much the stuff of my bank statements from 2000 to 2019. And now we look at the statements of 2020, which seem to belong to an entirely different person. Instead of the patterned dresses, my occasional big fashion buy is a pair of new pyjamas, to be worn all day, every day. The late-night cabs are now a Sunday morning taxi to take my children to wave to their grandparents, because they can no longer come over for visits, and we can't take public transport to see them. One expenditure I don't miss is the weekly trip to the toy shop for birthday presents for my children's friends. Instead, some of this money has been funnelled into a subscription to Disney+, the mega mouse's streaming channel, bought five minutes after lockdown was announced (Mother of the Year Award to the usual address, please).

| From pasta pies to caramel bars: Yotam Ottolenghi's pumpkin recipes Posted: 07 Nov 2020 01:30 AM PST This year's pumpkin blowout features a kabocha pasta pie, a spicy roast pumpkin with tahini sauce and a rich take on millionaire's shortbread It's a week past Halloween and nearly three until Thanksgiving, which means it's pumpkin time! Cinderella may not be pulling up in a carriage at either celebration this year, but don't let that stop you having a ball. There are so many varieties to get to know. Kabocha, with its creamy, nutty flesh, is my current favourite, but I also have a soft spot for the small, dark orange potimarron, which has a rich, roast chestnut flavour. The main difference between pumpkin and squash is the texture of the flesh, with pumpkin tending to be more fibrous. So long as you avoid those large, watery Halloween pumpkins, however, they can essentially be used interchangeably. Continue reading... |
| Scotland becomes first UK nation to ban smacking children Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:33 AM PST Law comes into force giving same protection from assault as adults Scotland has become the first part of the UK to ban the smacking of children after new legislation came into effect. Changes to the law giving children the same protection from assault as adults were passed by the Scottish parliament last year and take effect from Saturday. Continue reading... |

Downing Street had already taken action to remove Denmark from the travel corridor, forcing arrivals to quarantine for two weeks from Friday at 4am. Continue reading... |
| What’s in a name? How the legacy of slavery endures in Tunisia Posted: 07 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST Black people in the north African country suffer hardship and disadvantage, and many still carry the label of 'liberated' slaves Many within Tunisia greeted the news that 81-year-old Hamden Dali had won his two decade-long campaign to have "atig" removed from his name with little more than bemusement. But for Dali atig – meaning "liberated by" – in his name was a painful reminder of his family's heritage as former slaves. Continue reading... |
| Joe Biden poised to inherit Disunited States of America Posted: 07 Nov 2020 02:00 AM PST Donald Trump's efforts to contest the election result may fail but he leaves behind a country riven by deep political fault lines "Tomorrow is the beginning of a new day," Joe Biden said in his final campaign rally in Pittsburgh on the eve of the US election. "There's one more day to show who we are as a country: looking out for each other, the thousand acts of kindness, the decency that people used to show one another – and still do."

| US removes shadowy group from terror list blamed by China for attacks Posted: 06 Nov 2020 01:34 PM PST State department says 'no credible' evidence the East Turkestan Islamic Movement exists The United States has removed from its list of terror groups a shadowy faction regularly blamed by China to justify its harsh crackdown in the Muslim-majority Xinjiang region. In a notice in the Federal Register, which publishes new US laws and rules, the secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, said on Friday he was revoking the designation of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) as a "terrorist organization."

About 20 Extinction Rebellion activists were stationed inside Blundstone Arena on Saturday morning, with about the same number outside. Continue reading... |
| More than 40 fleeing Mozambique violence feared dead after boat sinks Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:13 AM PST Children among those reported drowned as Islamist insurgency drives thousands of families from homes in Cabo Delgado More than 40 people fleeing violence in Mozambique's conflict-torn north are believed to have drowned after the boat carrying them to safety sank, according to reports. At least 70 people were on board the vessel when it sank on 29 October in the Indian Ocean just north of the provincial capital of Pemba, where tens of thousands of people have sought refuge from a three-year Islamist insurgency, the UN International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Reuters reported.

| After Trump: first shots fired in battle for Republican party's future Posted: 07 Nov 2020 02:00 AM PST Emboldened by the president's failing fortunes, some Republican leaders are speaking out as others vie for the Trumpist mantle For four years he commanded their unflinching loyalty. They protected him from impeachment, tacitly approved as children at the border were prised from their parents and placed in cages, and looked the other way as peacefully protesting Americans were gassed for a photo opportunity. Continue reading... |
| Posted: 06 Nov 2020 11:00 AM PST Trump has accelerated the drift towards post-truth, and the media is shackled to that acceleration We've all been transfixed by the American election, glued to CNN or our preferred network or live blog of choice, constantly refreshing our social media feeds, cursing Nate Silver – demonstrating that global anxiety is the glue of 2020. At the time of filing, the vote count is grinding on, and my purpose is not to get into winners and losers and the consequences. Here, I want to step back and look at some propositions that are uncomfortable for a person in my position to look at. Continue reading... |
| How UK government misrepresented Covid projections – explained Posted: 06 Nov 2020 06:43 AM PST No 10 has admitted an 'error' in the way data was presented to make case for second lockdown The UK Statistics Authority has rebuked the government over its lack of transparency around projected Covid-19 deaths and hospital admissions, saying it could cast doubt over official figures. A range of estimates were used to make the case for a second English lockdown in a press conference on 31 October. However, the UKSA said "the data and assumptions for this model had not been shared transparently", potentially undermining confidence in official figures. Continue reading... |
| Macron's task is to show French Muslims they have a place in the republic | Catherine Fieschi Posted: 06 Nov 2020 04:35 AM PST The president must demonstrate that the secular state – with a subtle dose of multiculturalism – works for them As a dual citizen of France and Canada, I never cease to be amazed by the depth of misunderstanding there is about French attitudes to religion. France's shortcomings in its management of diversity are obvious – as are everyone else's – but it is important to recognise some basic facts before pronouncing on them. The first is that the principle of laïcité in France – the country's particular brand of secularism – is more than posturing: it is a lived, sociological fact. Continue reading... |
| Biden says 'we're going to win this race' as election count puts him on the cusp of victory – video Posted: 06 Nov 2020 08:54 PM PST Presidential hopeful Joe Biden has said 'we're going to win this race' as crucial states trend in his favour as vote counting in the US election continues. Biden, who stands on the cusp of victory, said late on Friday he was on track to claim 300 electoral votes. The former vice-president has already urged unity during the count after Donald Trump moved to sow doubt about the election process without presenting any evidence. 'We may be opponents, but we're not enemies,' Biden said. 'We're Americans' Continue reading... |
| Cindy McCain confident Joe Biden will claim Arizona on way to election win – video Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:38 PM PST Cindy McCain, the widow of late Arizona senator and 2008 Republican presidential candidate, John McCain, has backed Joe Biden to win the state of Arizona on his way to sealing the 2020 US election. Arizona, a Republican stronghold, was called in Joe Biden's favour by a number of news organisations on election night. McCain, despite her links to the Republican party, had previously campaigned for Biden in her home state Continue reading... |
| Armed Trump supporters gather outside vote count centre in Arizona – video Posted: 06 Nov 2020 06:51 PM PST Supporters of Donald Trump, some of whom are armed, have continued to mass outside an election counting centre in Phoenix on Friday, as Joe Biden's lead narrows slightly in the state of Arizona. The Trump campaign is angry that the state was called for Biden by media organisations including Fox News and Associated Press, despite thousands of ballots still to be counted. Biden led by around 29,000 on Friday night, down from 47,000, but is still expected by most observers to win. Continue reading... |
| Senator Lindsey Graham backs Trump, echoing baseless claims of election fraud – video Posted: 06 Nov 2020 04:49 PM PST Republican senator Lindsey Graham has defended the Trump campaign's baseless claim of irregularities during the election, saying the president's team deserves the opportunity to make the case. "Democracy depends upon fair elections. President Trump's team is going to have a chance to make a case regarding voting irregularities," he said. "I'm going to stand with President Trump." Graham's comments come as presidential candidate Joe Biden took a lead over Trump in battleground Pennsylvania and Georgia, as ballots continue to be counted

Trump has continued to tweet baseless allegations of voter fraud

| Deadly Storm Eta lashes Central America – video report Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:12 AM PST Storm Eta has unleashed torrential rain, causing catastrophic landslides and flooding in Central America. Dozens of people have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced after raging torrents tore through cities.
