| Coronavirus live news: AstraZeneca 'pulls out of EU supply meeting'; Russia relaxes restrictions Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:15 AM PST Drugmaker reportedly cancels meeting scheduled for Wednesday amid row over deliveries; Moscow eases some measures as cases fall
The Palestinian Authority plans to buy 100,000 doses of Russia's Sputnik V vaccine against Covid-19 in February, the Interfax news agency cited the Palestinian Authority's envoy in Moscow as saying on Wednesday. Abdel Hafiz Nofal, the authority's ambassador to Russia, said Moscow would provide 10,000 free doses of the vaccine, Reuters reports.
Politico has more on the cancelled AstraZeneca-EU meeting, which it characterises as part of an "escalating dispute" between the two parties: The cancellation follows an explosive interview with AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot on Tuesday night, in which he insisted the company didn't have a contractual obligation but rather a "best effort" to supply the EU with its vaccine. Instead of the meeting, the company will respond in writing to Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides' demand for more information, the Commission official said. AstraZeneca did not immediately confirm this plan. Continue reading... |

| Malka Leifer lands in Melbourne to face child sexual abuse charges after extradition from Israel Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:22 AM PST The attorney general says her arrival 'finally concludes the long-running process to see Ms Leifer returned to Australia' Alleged child abuser Malka Leifer has landed back in Australia and is expected to face a Melbourne court after being extradited from Israel.

| Italy's power struggle raises fears over Covid and the economy Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:16 AM PST Italians struggle to fathom Giuseppe Conte's resignation as prime minister and resulting political limbo Italy's political crisis has left the country in limbo in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic, raising fears that a power struggle in the heart of government will hamper its economic recovery plan. The prime minister, Giuseppe Conte, resigned on Tuesday after weeks of feuding with former prime minister Matteo Renzi, who withdrew his small Italia Viva party from the ruling coalition following clashes over the handling of the pandemic and a spending plan for the €209bn (£185bn) Italy is due to receive from the EU's economic recovery plan.

| EU revealed to be world's biggest live animal exporter Posted: 26 Jan 2021 11:00 PM PST Bloc exported more than 1.6 billion chickens, pigs, sheep, goats and cattle in 2019, but faces criticism over welfare failings New analysis suggests the EU could be responsible for up to 80% of the global trade in live farm animals, which continues to be linked to animal welfare failings. Global data provided to the Guardian by the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) indicates that 1.8 billion live chickens, pigs, sheep, goats and cattle were moved across a border in 2019. The EU was estimated to be responsible for more than three-quarters of that total. Continue reading... |
| Alberta leader says Biden's move to cancel Keystone pipeline a 'gut punch’ Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:15 AM PST Environmental groups in Canada applaud decision, but country's western provinces left in disbelief US president Joe Biden's move to cancel a controversial pipeline project has hit Canada like "like a gut punch", according to one political leader, and left the country to weigh the future prospects of its ailing oil and gas industry. On 20 January, one of Biden's first executive orders was to reverse approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, making good on a campaign promise to kill the project as a broader strategy to address the climate crisis.

| 'I feel like I am reborn': rescued Chinese miners speak of ordeal Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:06 PM PST Two miners trapped underground say they had no food for nine days and survived on each other's 'encouraging words' Two Chinese miners who were rescued after being trapped underground for two weeks have described their joy and relief at being free. Eleven men from a group of 22 were pulled out alive by rescue workers on Sunday after a mine blast on 10 January in east China's Shandong province entombed them hundreds of metres underground.

| 'Seen all this before': Tourism NZ says ditch influencer shots for something new Posted: 26 Jan 2021 05:42 PM PST No more lavender fields or mountain tops please, urges agency in effort to stop people 'travelling under the social influence' New Zealand's tourism agency is seeking to edge out influencer-style photoshoots at tourism hotspots with a tongue-in-cheek campaign against "travelling under the social influence". In a video, the comedian Thomas Sainsbury stars as a lone ranger in the "social observation squad", chiding tourists for perpetuating tropes such as a hat-wearing woman in lavender field, a man quietly contemplating on a rock, and "a classic one in these parts: the summit spreadeagle".

| EU's vaccine supply issues mean light at end of tunnel that much further away Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:50 AM PST Analysis: Frustration around restrictions in Netherlands could be voiced in other countries In recent nights, rioters have poured on to the streets of 10 Dutch cities in what has been the closest Europe has come to open revolt against the coronavirus restrictions imposed across the continent. The violence, the worst in four decades, might be put down to the liberty-loving culture of the country or an outbreak of straightforward criminality but, perhaps not coincidentally, the Netherlands is also the very last EU member state to start vaccinating the public and offer some hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

| 'Pleasure ripped out': the people suffering long-term loss of taste after Covid Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:00 PM PST Those in professions that rely heavily on taste and smell fear the loss of their careers Around three weeks after Covid-19 completely took away her sense of smell and taste, Maggie Cubbler had a beer. It was a pale ale she'd had before and, to her excitement, it tasted wonderful – just as she remembered. She was ecstatic to feel she was on the road to normality, but she soon found that recovery from Covid is by no means linear. "After that I started noticing that many things started smelling terrible – like absolutely revolting – and one of them was beer." For a beer sommelier and writer of ten years, this was a devastating and isolating development. When the pandemic halted her beer travel business and decimated the industry generally, Cubbler had pivoted into doing a beer podcast. Now, with her sense of taste still muted and the source of her livelihood unbearable to smell, her career has been thrown into uncertainty. Continue reading... |
| Five ways the government could have avoided 100,000 Covid deaths | Devi Sridhar Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:00 AM PST The UK needs to learn from the lessons of the past year and come up with a concrete plan to avert a disastrous third wave Yesterday Britain passed a grim milestone. A further 1,631 deaths from Covid-19 were recorded, taking the official tally above 100,000, though data from the Office for National Statistics suggests the total number will now be nearer 120,000. While the number of UK deaths has entered the hundreds of thousands, New Zealand has recorded only 25 deaths from Covid-19 so far. Taiwan has recorded seven, Australia 909, Finland 655, Norway 548 and Singapore 29. These countries have largely returned to normal daily life. In the first year of the pandemic, the UK faced three big challenges. Our national government had no long-term strategy for suppressing the virus beyond a continual cycle of lockdowns. Even now we still don't know what the government's plans for the next six months are. In the early days of the pandemic, the UK treated Covid-19 like a bad flu. The government halted testing, and the initial plan seemed to be allow the virus to run unchecked through the population (the "herd immunity" approach). Finally, ministers have pitted the economy against public health, instead of realising that the health of the economy depends upon a healthy population. Continue reading... |
| New Zealand: two new Covid cases emerge in people who had left quarantine Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:07 PM PST Two people had completed isolation at the same Auckland hotel as Sunday's case, which was New Zealand's first in months Two more returnees who stayed at the same New Zealand hotel at the same time as Sunday's coronavirus case have tested positive after finishing their quarantine. The two people are asymptomatic and had already completed their managed isolation at Auckland's Pullman hotel and returned two negative tests, the Department of Health said. Continue reading... |
| Lockdown cabin fever? 56 tried, tested and terrific ways to beat the boredom Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:00 PM PST Shaun Ryder keeps chickens, while Mel Giedroyc organises chutney tastings. These small, affordable suggestions won't end lockdown misery – but they might help If you live with someone else, draw each other. My boyfriend, a professional artist, has a gross advantage – so I hold the most atrocious pose possible to challenge him. Then I challenge the foundations of our relationship by trying to depict him in a fashion that won't result in him dumping me. Our relationship survived the last time, although we almost died laughing. Laura Snapes, Guardian deputy music editor Continue reading... |
| From ancient Egypt to Cardi B: a cultural history of the manicure Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:01 PM PST Nail art dates back millennia, taking in complex social codes, cultural appropriation, modern slavery and the sexism of lockdown rules for beauty salons "How to Take a Nail Selfie!" "Fruity Manicure Inspo!" "Kylie Jenner Slammed by Fans for Nearly Poking Out Stormi's Eyes With Ridiculous Claw Nails." The glut of hyperbolic nail-related headlines online points to our obsession with the endless possibilities open to the plate at the top of our fingers. In the internet age, the manicure, in all its incarnations, is a traffic winner. It peppers a plethora of Pinterest boards; the hashtag #nails has been posted 151m times on Instagram; nail artists are stars in their own right; and countless women will assert that manicures are a form of self-care. Detractors dismiss it all as frivolity. Continue reading... |
| Lupin's Omar Sy: 'We wanted to show what the French are capable of' Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:06 AM PST The actor stars in Netflix's biggest French-language hit as a gentleman thief. He and the director, Louis Leterrier, explain how the drama drew in 70 million fans worldwide "We wanted to show what the French were capable of in terms of making a series, but frankly we didn't expect it to do what it has." Omar Sy, the star of the latest Netflix smash hit, Lupin, is speaking over the phone from Senegal. The line between London and Dakar isn't great, but the charm that has helped his slick, charismatic character – a modern day gentleman thief – connect with audiences around the world is still evident. Streaming services have been the dominant source of cultural output in the past year, so the chances are that you have at least heard of Lupin, even if you haven't got round to bingeing Netflix's biggest French language hit to date. Ranking in the Top 10 on the platform in multiple countries – climbing to No 2 in the UK and the US – as well as being projected to have reached 70 million households in the first month of streaming, Lupin is a family-friendly show – perhaps one of the elements that has given it an edge over the likes of Bridgerton and The Queen's Gambit.

| 'Like witnessing my own funeral': Michael Landy on destroying everything he owned Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:00 PM PST The artist caused a sensation by shredding all his possessions – car, toothbrush, love letters, even his dad's old sheepskin coat. Two decades on, does the former YBA have any regrets? Twenty years and an epoch ago, Michael Landy destroyed his worldly goods, all 2,277 of them, in the just-closed flagship branch of C&A on Oxford Street in London. It was a wildly theatrical event. The mise en scène involved a snaking conveyor belt bearing tubs full of carefully catalogued objects, with a team of blue-boilersuit-clad "operatives" painstakingly disassembling each item, and the artist himself standing atop a high platform flinging items into great bins according to their material, prior to their long funereal journey to recycling or landfill. In the centre of this tableau stood Landy's red Saab 900, which gradually shrank as its doors, engine and electricals were removed. The whole thing took two weeks and his record collection was last to go: the team played Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart and David Bowie's Breaking Glass over and over. Continue reading... |
| From waste to play space: the project turning India's scrap into playgrounds Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:30 AM PST Realising safe play places were in short supply while waste materials were abundant, a group of friends has set about transforming life for India's children Children of all ages cluster on top of tin cans painted in green, red and yellow embedded in the ground, others hang off a climbing frame made of rubber tubes. Others clamber energetically up a wall of colourfully painted repurposed tyres while some play on giant dominoes. "Tyres are versatile," said Pooja Rai. "We use as many as 70 tyres in one playground to build seesaws and slides as well as elephants, octopuses and bikes that keep the children engaged." Continue reading... |
| Climate activist Luisa Neubauer: 'how can we turn this anxiety into something constructive?' Posted: 26 Jan 2021 11:00 PM PST The German activist gives her advice to young people on how to help tackle the climate crisis "Once we decide to do something about [the climate crisis] we can move mountains." If the motivational quote sounds familiar, that's because it is. Meet "the German Greta", 24-year-old climate activist Luisa Neubauer, one of the main organisers of the Fridays for Future movement in the country, which organised the school strikes prior to the pandemic. A "sense of loss," she says, led to her involvement in climate action. "I felt we're losing our safe space, our ecosystems, our species, and the sentiment that we could grow up on a safe planet."

| Hinkley Point C costs may rise by £500m on back of Covid crisis Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:42 AM PST Opening of UK nuclear power plant could be delayed by six months The Covid-19 pandemic could delay construction of the Hinkley Point C nuclear reactor by six months and raise its costs by £500m, according to its developer. The fresh delays are expected to take the cost of the UK's first new nuclear power plant in a generation to £23bn, EDF Energy said, and delay its launch to the summer of 2026. Continue reading... |
| Ugandan security forces withdraw from Bobi Wine's house Posted: 26 Jan 2021 03:34 AM PST Judge ruled on Monday that house arrest of presidential challenger was illegal Security forces in Uganda have withdrawn from around the home of presidential challenger Bobi Wine, complying with a ruling by a judge on Monday that rebuked authorities for holding the candidate under house arrest for 11 days. Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, has been unable to leave his home since 14 January, when Ugandans voted in an election in which the 38-year-old reggae star turned politician was the main challenger to 76-year-old Yoweri Museveni.

| Chance of Trump's Senate impeachment dims | First Thing Posted: 27 Jan 2021 03:14 AM PST Forty-five Republicans attempted to dismiss Trump's impeachment trial, suggesting it is unlikely enough will vote to convict him. Plus, Biden aims to vaccinate 300 million Americans by fall Good morning. The chance of Donald Trump being convicted in his impeachment trial in the Senate looks less likely as of Tuesday, when 45 Republicans attempted to dismiss the proceedings before they began. With 55 senators still supporting the trial, the Republicans' objections were not enough to derail it, but to get a conviction 67 senators need to vote in favour. In practice, this means a dozen Republicans who just voted to end the trial would need to cross the aisle and vote in favour of impeaching Trump, which seems unlikely. Continue reading... |
| China starts using anal swabs to test for Covid in high-infection areas Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:57 AM PST Method can increase detection rate among infected people, senior Beijing doctor tells state TV China has begun using anal swabs to test those it considers to be at high risk of contracting Covid-19, state TV has reported.

| 'We'll learn lessons,' Johnson promised, far too late in the day for many | John Crace Posted: 26 Jan 2021 11:44 AM PST It was asking too much for the PM to show genuine humility and remorse, but even he could not shrug this off You've got to hand it to Priti Patel. Either she is completely shameless or totally clueless. Though one shouldn't rule out the possibility that she's both. Most of us distinctly remember the home secretary causing problems for Boris Johnson a few weeks ago by saying she had been calling for stricter border controls last March to control the coronavirus pandemic.

| Why has AstraZeneca reduced promised vaccine supply to EU and is UK affected? Posted: 26 Jan 2021 10:54 AM PST Analysis: technical problem at Belgium plant failed to produce enough vaccine but EU demanding fulfilment of contract AstraZeneca warned the European commission on Friday that there would be a significant shortfall in the promised 100m vaccine doses this quarter, of up to 60%.
