| Delhi warns hospitals running out of oxygen amid India’s devastating Covid wave Posted: 20 Apr 2021 09:44 PM PDT City government calls for help on social media, saying major hospitals only have enough oxygen to last eight to 24 hours Indian authorities scrambled to shore up supplies of medical oxygen to hospitals in the capital, Delhi, on Wednesday as a fast-spreading second wave of coronavirus stretched medical infrastructure to breaking point, officials and doctors said. India, the world's second most populous country, is reporting the world's highest number of new daily cases and is approaching a peak of about 297,000 cases in one day that the US hit in January.

| UK minister promises to look at football governance after Super League fiasco Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:41 AM PDT 'We will not have our national game taken away from us for profit,' says Oliver Dowden The withdrawal of six English Premier League clubs from the European Super League highlights the need to examine the governance of football, the UK culture secretary has said, pledging "we will not have our national game taken away from us for profit". Oliver Dowden paid tribute to the fans whose pressure prompted the withdrawal of the six English clubs initially signed up for the breakaway competition, leaving the project in tatters, but warned that more needed to be done.

| Netflix records dramatic slowdown in subscribers as pandemic boom wears off Posted: 20 Apr 2021 01:47 PM PDT
Netflix reported a dramatic slowdown in subscribers in the first three months of 2021, ending a record run in growth during the coronavirus pandemic. The streaming giant added 4 million new subscribers in the first quarter, 2 million fewer than its original estimate of 6 million and a quarter of the 8 million it added in the last three months of 2020. The company expects to add only about 1 million subscribers in the current quarter, which would be its slowest growth on record. Continue reading... |
| Humanitarian system is failing people in crisis, says UN aid chief Posted: 20 Apr 2021 09:00 PM PDT Exclusive: coordinator of UN's relief operation to say agencies not listening to needs of those in need The world's multibillion-dollar humanitarian system is struggling because unaccountable aid agencies are not listening to what people say they need and instead are deciding for them, the UN's humanitarian agency head will say this week. In a startling analysis of the programme he oversees, Mark Lowcock, the coordinator of the UN's aid relief operation since 2017, will say he has reached the view that "one of the biggest failings" of the system is that agencies "do not pay enough attention" to the voices of people caught up in crises.

| Nearly 17 child migrants a day vanished in Europe since 2018 Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT Investigation finds one in six were solo and under 15, as experts say cross-border cooperation 'nonexistent' At least 18,000 unaccompanied child migrants have disappeared after arriving in European countries including Greece, Italy and Germany. An investigation by the Guardian and the cross-border journalism collective Lost in Europe found that 18,292 unaccompanied child migrants went missing in Europe between January 2018 and December 2020 – equivalent to nearly 17 children a day.

| Historians call for opening of secret Northern Ireland files to mark centenary Posted: 20 Apr 2021 11:00 PM PDT Push for transparency comes at a time of heightened tensions in region Secret archives concerning some of the most controversial episodes from the inception of Northern Ireland could be opened amid pressure from historians advising on its centenary commemorations. They include an archive dedicated to the Ulster Special Constabulary (USC) – a quasi-military and overwhelmingly Protestant reserve police force known as the "B Specials" – and files potentially shedding light on their involvement in atrocities against the Catholic population.

| Melting ice in Arctic linked to bowhead whales holding off annual migration Posted: 20 Apr 2021 04:01 PM PDT Researchers in Canada find that population did not make the 6,000km roundtrip in 2018-2019 As the ice melts at pace in the Arctic, the mining and shipping industry has carved itself an opportunity out of the crisis. Meanwhile, the marine ecosystem is left to coping with the heat, noise, pollution and the cascade of other changes that come with the upheaval of the environment. Now researchers have found a whale species that typically migrates away from solid sea ice each autumn and returns every summer to feast on tiny crustaceans did not make the 6,000km (3,700-mile) roundtrip in 2018-2019.

| How vaccines are affecting Covid-19 outbreaks globally Posted: 20 Apr 2021 09:00 PM PDT Despite their life-saving capabilities, many countries have yet to administer enough doses to reap the full benefits Nearly six months after the first Covid-19 vaccines were approved for emergency use, Guardian analysis shows that the vast majority of the world is yet to see a substantial benefit. Supply shortages, safety concerns, public apathy and slow rollouts have resulted in most countries still being reliant on onerous lockdowns and other quarantine measures to reduce the severity of their outbreaks.

| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 02:15 AM PDT Oxygen supplies running low in Delhi; Japanese government considering state of emergency in Tokyo and Osaka; EU agency says clot 'very rare' J&J vaccine side effect
The leisure and hospitality industry in the US was hit the hardest by the coronavirus, with overall employment in the industry falling by 23%, roughly 4 million jobs. It has also been the slowest industry to start recovering from initial job losses when the pandemic first hit the US. And after more than a year, many workers in the industry remain jobless and unsure if they will be offered their jobs back. Those workers have, however, been cheered by some recent good news.

In the UK today, professor Adam Finn, from the University of Bristol and a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), has been on television, and said that British prime minister Boris Johnson was right that the UK will see a further wave of Covid-19 cases. He told BBC Breakfast: "I'm afraid he is right yes. The models that we've seen on JCVI clearly point to a summer surge in cases as the lockdown is relaxed, because there are still many people in the adult population who've not been immunised and who will therefore start to transmit the infection between each other."

| Comparing AstraZeneca vaccine blood-clot risk to odds of dying in a car crash unhelpful, experts say Posted: 20 Apr 2021 05:31 PM PDT Downplaying the risk with inappropriate comparisons will not build coronavirus vaccine confidence, Australian medical panel says
Trying to downplay the risk of severe but rare clotting that appears to be associated with the AstraZeneca vaccine by comparing it with the clotting risk from taking the contraceptive pill, or to the chances of dying in a car crash, is unhelpful and likely ineffective in building vaccine confidence, an expert medical panel said. Earlier in April the Australian Technical Advisory Group for Immunisation (Atagi) recommended those aged under 50 be offered an alternative to the AstraZeneca vaccine due to a small but potentially increased risk of developing a rare and severe clotting disorder following the vaccine in that age group.

| Japan to declare state of emergency in Tokyo amid pre-Olympics Covid surge Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:15 AM PDT Fourth coronavirus wave hits densely populated parts of country as experts say mutant strains driving latest outbreak Japan is poised to declare a state of emergency in Tokyo and two other regions amid a surge in coronavirus cases just three months before the start of the Olympic Games. Domestic media said the government was considering tougher measures for Tokyo, Osaka prefecture and neighbouring Hyogo prefecture, as experts warned that mutant strains of the virus were driving new outbreaks and straining health services.

| ‘I wash my hands and genitals – the rest I gave up’: how the pandemic changed our hygiene habits Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT Lockdown affected all our routines when it comes to showering, bathing, shampooing and deodorant. Will regular washing ever resume? Without much strenuous activity, a pair of underpants will last for two days before they go into the wash, while socks "are good for three days, if you aren't tramping around too much", says Simon Clifford, an electronics designer from Great Yarmouth. Showers? Every other day is fine. He is still using deodorant and, since it promises "48-hour protection", he may as well test it to the limit. Does he smell? It's hard to say, since he lives alone. But he has been back at work since the beginning of the month. "Nobody has complained," he says. "And I've got a couple of good friends at work who would say something. I can't find any indication that there's any need to wash any more than I am." In the year since the pandemic took hold in Britain, we have been both washing more – our hands, at least – and probably washing the rest of us less. In February a YouGov survey found 17% of Brits were showering less often than before (although 10% were showering more), while nearly a third said they were less likely to put clean clothes on, and a quarter were washing their hair less frequently. Sales of deodorant are in decline – according to figures from the retail analysts Mintel, 28% of people have been using less. For younger people, this is even more marked – 45% of generation Z and 40% of millennials are dodging deodorant. A survey for GSK Consumer Health found only 9% of people had improved their oral health routine, despite snacking a lot more; 5% said it had declined. We have become the great unwashed.

| Pills in the post: how Covid reopened the abortion wars Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:00 AM PDT Lockdown revolutionised women's access to home treatment – and strengthened the anti-abortion backlash Kay, 34, realised her period was late a month into Britain's lockdown. The coronavirus death count was spiralling across the country. Covid-19 was putting the NHS under unprecedented strain and Boris Johnson had given the British people what he described as "a very simple instruction" in an address to the nation from Downing Street: "You must stay at home." A worrying, unsettling time, and Kay, a mother of a six-year-old girl, needed to get hold of a pregnancy test kit. She went online and, two days later, took delivery of the test, learning of a positive result via two pink lines. It was the news she had dreaded. Continue reading... |
| Walking around Menorca: my lockdown project is never staying still Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:30 PM PDT Having 'washed up' on the island due to travel restrictions, our writer finds joy in hiking the Camí de Cavalls coastal trail and swimming in secluded coves I'm walking along a sandy path through a forest high above the flashing kingfisher-coloured coast. It smells of hot pine and wild rosemary. The sound of bells deep in the wood stops me in my tracks. Have I finally lost my mind, after months of piloting solo through the pandemic on this small island far from home? From between the trees step a herd of cows, as if from a child's picture book, caramel coloured, soft noses, liquid eyes and each with a collar from which a large bell swings. Mystery solved, I pick up my water bottle and keep going. Continue reading... |
| ‘Let yourself be quirky’: Oprah Winfrey’s life coach on how to be much happier Posted: 21 Apr 2021 02:00 AM PDT Martha Beck survived abuse, went to Harvard, left her husband – then began working with the world's biggest TV star. She discusses self-help, nonconformity and the power of truth "This has almost been like a global meditation. What isn't working in your life rises to the surface. Going back to the way it was? It's not going to happen." Martha Beck – the bestselling author and Harvard-trained sociologist known as "Oprah Winfrey's life coach" – is talking about responses to the pandemic. "Every act of creation begins with the destruction of the status quo," she continues. "It looks like chaos. But, really, it's a freedom from the tyranny of 'how things have always been done'. Pascal said that most of our misery comes from the fact that we are unable to sit quietly in a room. And, by the billions over the past year, we have been forced to sit quietly in a room. Now people's questions are coming from a much deeper place. Before, it was: 'How do I change my life?' Now, it's: 'What do I want from my life?'" Continue reading... |
| Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT Painting has helped one of Britain's most revered actors survive Covid restrictions and the loss of a child. We join the actor for an art class that never quite happens If you go down to the woods today, you may just come across Juliet Stevenson dangling from a branch, fumbling to photograph the light falling through a caterpillar hole on a particularly disobliging leaf, with her partner Hugh chuckling, resigned, as yet another quick stroll turns into a day trip. Upside down Juliet Stevenson has been a rare constant of Suffolk's lockdown landscape, even as snow buried it and tides hacked away at its crumbling coastline. The 64-year-old has been all over the East Anglian country, leaving a trail of snow angels on her quest to find its most picturesque – and acrobatic – angles. What's an actor to do when the West End goes dark? All that creative energy must go somewhere – and this actor is training the newly discovered painter's eye that has kept her sane over lockdown. "By the time you get to my age," she says, when I question why painting would be the basis of our interview, "you become too settled into the skills you know you have. I can sort of do my job. I know quite a lot about parenting. But to be absolutely at the beginning of something – at square one – it's just a great feeling." Continue reading... |
| Whispers to thunderstorms: the world of sound designer Max Pappenheim Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT After embarking accidentally on his career, Pappenheim has created innovative soundscapes for theatre, opera and radio Max Pappenheim's journey into sound design comprises a series of happy accidents. Music – and especially organ music – was his first love. He spent a year as a cathedral organist and it was only his predilection for experimentation and finding "the weirdest corners of the repertoire" that stopped him from pursuing a professional career in liturgical music. Instead, he went to Cambridge University, read classics and began teaching at a school in the Midlands. There, he was asked to direct a musical, Sweeney Todd, and it was then the ground began to shift beneath his feet. Continue reading... |
| Somalia’s rival factions spread across Mogadishu as they jockey for power Posted: 20 Apr 2021 11:00 PM PDT Opposition leaders leave airport bolthole as they step up pressure over contested presidency of Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed After months living at an upmarket inn close to Mogadishu's airport, Somalia's opposition leaders, including two former presidents and their armed teams, have decamped, spreading across the capital in what is seen as a strategic move. The sitting president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed "Farmaajo", meanwhile, returned last night from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he was reportedly hoping to win support for an extension of his presidential term from the African Union.

| Derek Chauvin found guilty of murder of George Floyd Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:42 AM PDT
Derek Chauvin has been convicted of murder for killing George Floyd by kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes, a crime that prompted waves of protests in support of racial justice in the US and across the world. The jury swiftly and unanimously convicted Chauvin of all the charges he faced – second- and third-degree murder, and manslaughter – after concluding that the white former Minneapolis police officer killed the 46-year-old Black man in May through a criminal assault, by pinning him to the ground so he could not breathe.

| Quebec court strikes down part of contentious religious symbols ban Posted: 20 Apr 2021 09:49 AM PDT Ruling removes limits on some teachers and provincial politicians but maintains ban for police, judges and other civil servants A Canadian court has struck down part of a disputed Quebec law against public employees wearing religious symbols, removing limits on some teachers and provincial politicians but maintaining the ban for police officers, judges and other civil servants. The 2019 law, which the Quebec government said was designed to preserve secularism in the mainly French-speaking province, prohibits many civil servants, including police officers, from wearing religious symbols such as hijabs and turbans on the job.

| Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:56 AM PDT Canberra diplomat tells press club China should not be milked with a 'plot to slaughter it in the end' A senior Chinese diplomat has accused the Australian government of triggering a downward spiral in the relationship by "conniving with the United States in a very unethical, illegal, immoral suppression" of Chinese telco Huawei. Wang Xining, the deputy head of the Chinese embassy in Canberra, told the National Press Club that China had "done nothing intentionally to hurt this relationship", despite the Australian government's complaints about Beijing trade actions against a range of export sectors over the past year.

The 22-year-old's immediate concern was for the safety of her friend Negina and other colleagues nearby.

| Chauvin guilty verdict a landmark moment in US criminal justice history Posted: 20 Apr 2021 02:26 PM PDT Analysis: The testimony against the ex-officer was damning – it was clear this case was different from so many that had come before The trial saw 44 witnesses and 15 days of testimony. And, in the end, less than a day to decide that Derek Chauvin, the white former Minneapolis police officer, was guilty of murdering George Floyd. It is a landmark moment not just in the history of US policing and criminal justice, but around the world. George Floyd's death came to embody the struggle for racial justice and equality in so many ways they are impossible to condense: from forceful calls for police reform in Minneapolis and new legislation in Washington, to a reckoning on the history of British imperialism in the UK and a resurgence in activism over Indigenous deaths in custody in Australia.

| Will the Derek Chauvin guilty verdict change policing in America? Posted: 20 Apr 2021 02:14 PM PDT George Floyd's death at the hands of a white police officer touched off a new civil rights uprising that rippled across the world The jury's guilty verdict on the former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for killing George Floyd signaled the conclusion of a historic police brutality trial and a key moment for policing and for the battle for racial equality in America. Observers have talked about this case being so significant that it will stand as a watershed between the way law enforcement was held to account in the US before George Floyd was pinned by the neck under Chauvin's knee, and after.

| Colombus police chief addresses media after officer fatally shoots teenage girl – video Posted: 21 Apr 2021 12:36 AM PDT Police in Columbus, Ohio, fatally shot a 15-year-old girl on Tuesday afternoon, just moments before Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd.
