| Australia’s ban on travellers returning from India due to Covid crisis may be unlawful Posted: 01 May 2021 01:40 AM PDT Lawyers and academics say ban an 'extraordinary precedent' that could be open to multiple challenges
The travel ban preventing Australians in India from returning home could be subject to legal challenges, with lawyers and academics believing the extraordinary measure may breach the law. Scott Morrison's government has been condemned for its "outrageous" decision to introduce fines of up to $66,600 or five years in prison, or both, for anyone defying a travel ban preventing Australians returning home from India.

| India Covid crisis: government ignored warnings on variant, scientists say Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:53 PM PDT Country's government failed to impose extra restrictions despite warnings of a new, more dangerous strain in early March, experts claim A panel of Indian scientists warned officials in early March of a new and more contagious variant of the coronavirus taking hold in the country, it has emerged. Despite the warning, four of the scientists said the federal government did not seek to impose major restrictions to stop the spread of the virus, Reuters reported on Saturday. Millions of largely unmasked people attended religious festivals and political rallies that were held by prime minister Narendra Modi, leaders of the ruling Bharatiya Janata party and opposition politicians.

| US-China doomsday threat ramped up by hi-tech advances, says Kissinger Posted: 30 Apr 2021 07:55 PM PDT Former US secretary of state says strained relationship is world's 'biggest problem', as he warns of Beijing's economic and military might Former US diplomat Henry Kissinger has said that US-China tensions threaten to engulf the entire world and could lead to an Armageddon-like clash between the two military and technology giants. The 97-year-old former US secretary of state, who as an adviser to president Richard Nixon crafted the 1971 unfreezing of relations between Washington and Beijing, said the mix of economic, military and technological strengths of the two superpowers carried more risks than the cold war with the Soviet Union.

| Noel Clarke shows dropped as allegations shake TV industry Posted: 30 Apr 2021 12:03 PM PDT ITV and Sky halt programmes featuring actor accused of sexual harassment and bullying
Allegations of sexual harassment and bullying made against the actor-producer Noel Clarke have shaken the film and television industry, prompting two broadcasters to cancel popular shows he was starring in and launching a debate about the treatment of women on sets. The allegations against Clarke also led to questions about the decision by Bafta (the British Academy of Film and Television Arts) to give the actor a special award for outstanding British contribution to cinema last month.

| Climate crisis: our children face wars over food and water, EU deputy warns Posted: 30 Apr 2021 08:38 AM PDT Exclusive: Frans Timmermans says older people need to make sacrifices to protect the future Older people will have to make sacrifices in the fight against climate change or today's children will face a future of fighting wars for water and food, the EU's deputy chief has warned. Frans Timmermans, vice-president of the EU commission, said that if social policy and climate policy are not combined, to share fairly the costs and benefits of creating a low-carbon economy, the world will face a backlash from people who fear losing jobs or income, stoked by populist politicians and fossil fuel interests.

| Afghanistan: At least 21 killed in blast as US prepares to withdraw troops Posted: 30 Apr 2021 06:50 PM PDT Scores also injured in the blast in southern city of Pul-e-Alam the day before Pentagon begins to pull out its remaining forces At least 21 people have been killed and nearly 100 wounded after a car bomb exploded in an Afghan city south of the capital that president Ashraf Ghani has blamed on the Taliban. Friday's blast occurred in a residential area of Pul-e-Alam, capital of Logar province, as people were breaking their Ramadan fast, and came on the eve of the formal start of the US military's withdrawal from Afghanistan.

| Ian Nepomniachtchi will not be able to play next to Russia flag against Carlsen Posted: 30 Apr 2021 04:04 PM PDT As Magnus Carlsen prepares for a two-day final with his old rival Hikaru Nakamura, Wada's ban on Russia has reached chess Ian Nepomniachtchi's feat in qualifying as Magnus Carlsen's official challenger in a €2m, 14-game world title series at Dubai in November was subsequently hit on two fronts. First, having won the Candidates with a round to spare, Nepomniachtchi lost Tuesday's dead rubber in Ekaterinburg. A more significant blow came on Friday, however, when he learned that he is not allowed to play with the Russian flag beside him in Dubai, owing to his country's ban imposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Following Tuesday's defeat by China's Ding Liren, the 30-year-old Muscovite said that he had lacked motivation for the game, a strange comment when a win would have raised his Fide world rating close to 2800, the super-elite level, while as it was Ding's victory regained the No 3 spot in the ratings that he had briefly let slip a few days earlier.

| ‘It is life-saving’: Elliot Page reveals happiness at having had top surgery Posted: 30 Apr 2021 01:29 PM PDT
Actor Elliot Page has revealed how much happier he feels after having top surgery, and described transitioning as "life-saving". "I want people to know that not only has it been life-changing for me, I do believe it is life-saving and it's the case for so many people," the actor told Oprah Winfrey on her new show for Apple TV+.

| California drought forces 15m salmon to take unusual route to Pacific: by road Posted: 30 Apr 2021 09:44 AM PDT State officials will truck the young fish to the ocean, with the waterways they use to travel downstream historically low California officials will truck more than 15 million young salmon raised at fish hatcheries in the state's Central Valley agricultural region to the Pacific Ocean because projected river conditions show that the waterways the fish use to travel downstream will be historically low and warm due to increasing drought. Officials announced the huge trucking operation on Wednesday, saying the effort is aimed at ensuring "the highest level of survival for the young salmon on their hazardous journey to the Pacific Ocean".

| Maradona care ‘deficient and reckless’ before death, medical board report finds Posted: 30 Apr 2021 05:19 PM PDT
A medical board appointed to investigate the death of Diego Maradona has concluded that the football icon's medical team acted in an "inappropriate, deficient and reckless manner," according to a copy of the report shared with Reuters on Friday. Maradona's death in November last year rocked Argentina, where he was revered, and prompted a period of mourning and finger-pointing about who was to blame after his long battle with addiction and ill health.

| Restorationists urge Jill Biden to erase Melania Trump’s Rose Garden makeover Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:53 AM PDT A petition, signed by more than 54,000 people, calls on Biden to return the garden to its 'former glory' as Jacqueline Kennedy designed Efforts to erase the Trump family legacy have reached the White House potting sheds and nurseries with Jill Biden being urged to restore the mansion's garden to a state that predates ex-First Lady Melania Trump's 2019 makeover. An online petition calling on the first lady to return the Rose Garden to its "former glory" has been signed by more than 54,000 people. The petition says Biden's predecessor "had the cherry trees, a gift from Japan, removed as well as the rest of the foliage and replaced with a boring tribute to herself". Continue reading... |
| Posted: 01 May 2021 02:33 AM PDT Australians trying to return home from India could face fine or jail; Indian government ignored warnings on variant, scientists say
Following Liverpool's Circus club night test event, UK culture secretary, Oliver Dowden, has hailed a key milestone "in our journey back to normality". This weekend is another huge moment in our journey back to normality. This week Liverpool have hosted the first major indoor events without social distancing or Covid restrictions and tonight 3,000 clubbers will once more head to the Bramley-Moore Dock warehouse to enjoy another night of brilliant DJ sets, with 5,000 people at an outdoor gig at Sefton Park tomorrow. I have seen first hand just how important these research events are. Yesterday, I visited the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield to watch the Snooker World Championship. With the event initially requiring social distancing - starting with a third of the venue's capacity - this is being gradually eased in time for the finals, where capacity will rise to 100% on Sunday and Monday. Of course the whole thing sort of operated silently as a science experiment, they were studying ventilation and crowd patterns, but every precaution was taken to make sure we were safe. People presented their test results very proudly. I think we felt excited but also proud to be a part of creating the protocols that would lead to the reopening of all kinds of things, from football matches to any kind of event, it doesn't have to be a big rave.
Thailand has reported a new daily record of 21 coronavirus deaths in one day, the health ministry said, as the south-east Asian country prepared to open registration for a long-awaited mass vaccination campaign. Reuters reports: The health ministry today reported 1,891 new cases, bringing the total number of infections to 67,044 since the pandemic began last year, with 224 deaths. Thailand is fighting a fierce third wave of infections, the worst of the pandemic after a year of relative success in controlling the virus. The new outbreak includes the highly transmissible B117 variant and has accounted for about half of its total cases and deaths during the pandemic. A slow rollout of vaccines has churned public frustration, with the 2.5m doses of the Chinese Sinovac vaccine received so far going mostly to medical and frontline workers and the most vulnerable.

| Julia Donaldson: ‘I worry some children will be unable to sing’ Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT The bestselling author of the Gruffalo is concerned about the limits coronavirus has placed on the lives of her young fans Children are not, says Julia Donaldson with a smile, going to write to her directly about the pandemic. Her assistant has just delivered a fresh pile of post, and the author shuffles through a stack of opened letters to make the point: "Children aren't going to write, 'Oh dear I feel so lonely or overcrowded' – they are just writing their usual, 'There were four kittens called mitten, litten, nitten and kitten.' They are so sweet, some of the things they write." If, as well as her permanent affection for the nation's children, there is mild exasperation at being asked to act as their spokesperson as they emerge from another lockdown, it can be forgiven: as the creator of such beloved characters as the Gruffalo, Tiddler and Zog, the former children's laureate, actor and singer-songwriter has long been expected to help her readers think, rhyme and imagine for themselves.

| ‘It’s just the beginning’: Covid push to digital boosts big tech profits Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT Apple, Google owner Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft raked in money in first quarter Big tech is on a roll. In every minute of the first three months of 2021, Apple, Google owner Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft sold products and services worth about $2.5m (£1.8m) combined. Profits before tax for the period came in at $88bn – more than $1bn of profit for every working day. After a year of shifting to online work and leisure across the global economy, financial results published this week by most of US tech's biggest names were bound to be strong. But even more bullish analysts on Wall Street were surprised by how fast they raked in money in the quarter, auguring even greater profits in the years ahead. Continue reading... |
| Is Russia’s Covid vaccine anything more than a political weapon? Posted: 30 Apr 2021 05:15 AM PDT Observers say the Sputnik V jab is aimed more at sowing political division than fighting coronavirus Russia's Sputnik V vaccine has yet to win EU regulatory approval and is likely to play little part in the bloc's rollout, but it has already achieved what some observers say is one of its objectives – sowing division among, and within, member states. "Sputnik V has become a tool of soft power for Russia," said Michal Baranowski, a fellow with a US thinktank, the German Marshall Fund of the United States. "It's planted its flag on the vaccine and the political goal of its strategy is to divide the west." Continue reading... |
| Posted: 30 Apr 2021 01:00 PM PDT ACT Liberal leader Elizabeth Lee is trying to change legislation to explicitly criminalise the act amid a rise in disturbing rhetoric One in three women and one in five men globally have been the victim of "stealthing", the non-consensual act of removing a condom during sex, yet the term has only recently entered public awareness – and courtrooms. "Anecdotally, stealthing was something that felt yuck, confusing, violating and wrong," the Australian Capital Territory's Liberal opposition leader, Elizabeth Lee, says. "But victims of it didn't even know it had a name, let alone that it negated their consent." Continue reading... |
| How to Love Animals by Henry Mance review – the case against modern farming Posted: 30 Apr 2021 11:30 PM PDT Turning vegan ... a series of investigations, presented with humour and humility, into our contradictory relationships with pets, livestock and wildlife While researching this book, Henry Mance worked briefly in an abattoir, or "a disassembly line", as he aptly terms it. As he watched sheep being stunned, their throats slit and then hung up, still twitching, from metal hooks on a motorised track, Mance asked himself: "How did humans come to this?" His book is an attempt to answer that question, as well as an exploration of how our attitudes to pets, livestock and wild animals have changed through history: "I wanted to know whether my love for animals was reflected in how I behaved, or whether – like my love for arthouse films – it was mainly theoretical."

| Blind date: ‘We were under a blanket for most of the evening’ Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:00 PM PDT Chris, 29, digital experience consultant, meets Ariana, 31, graduate student – in person! What were you hoping for? |
| Garry Kasparov: ‘Why become a martyr? I can do much more outside Russia’ Posted: 30 Apr 2021 10:01 AM PDT The chess grandmaster on speaking out against Vladimir Putin and why he cannot choose the best player ever "I haven't stopped my fight against the regime," says Garry Kasparov, his words bristling with defiance and quiet rage. "I'm not lowering my voice. Putin is not just a Russian imperialist. He has a much bigger agenda. He is an existential threat to the free world." It would have been easy for the greatest chess player in history to stay quiet after fleeing Russia in 2013 amid a crackdown on prominent opposition figures. Kasparov, after all, is a successful businessman, an expert on artificial intelligence and cyber security, and has just launched a new website, Kasparovchess.com. But that has never been his style. Not now. Not ever. Continue reading... |
| Tony Blair’s hair: ‘it’s not been this long since I was in a band’ Posted: 01 May 2021 12:46 AM PDT The former PM isn't just echoing the mullet trend, he is following the trend of men who love their lockdown locks Tony Blair's appearance on ITN News this week, with a slightly matted mane of slate grey hair styled into a mullet, may have prompted many to mistake the former PM for Peter Stringfellow, Paul Smith or an older version of Steve Coogan's Portuguese crooner Tony Ferrino (it was less 'former Labour leader' and more 'dude from Ugly Rumours', indeed he told the Evening Standard: "it's not been this long since I was in a rock band"). But Blair wasn't just echoing the mullet trend which has increased in popularity during the pandemic. He was also an example of men who've let their hair grow during lockdown since December and, despite barbers and hairdressers re-opening, want to keep it that length (see also: Brad Pitt with tiny ponytail and Sound of Metal's Paul Raci at Sunday's Oscars).

| VW, Audi and Skoda owners angry over fault in SOS warning system Posted: 30 Apr 2021 11:00 PM PDT eCall contacts emergency services in an accident – but it is causing problems for some drivers The Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda group has been accused of knowingly selling cars with defective SOS warning systems that in some cases failed before the new owner had left the dealership. Since 2018 all new cars sold across the EU have been required to have an eCall system that automatically contacts the emergency services with the vehicle's location in the event of a serious accident. It is a sophisticated set-up using the car's navigation system and airbag sensors, and it has its own mobile phone sim card. Continue reading... |

The blockage is not expected to be removed until June, water services company Severn Trent said in a statement, adding that the fatberg was about four miles east of the city centre in Hodge Hill.

| EU condemns ‘groundless’ Russian sanctions against its officials Posted: 30 Apr 2021 01:51 PM PDT Brussels promises to retaliate against move, which Moscow says was a response to punitive EU measures in March The EU has accused Russia of seeking confrontation after the Kremlin sanctioned senior officials in Brussels and the president of the European parliament in a retaliatory move. In a joint statement by Ursula von der Leyen, Charles Michel and David Sassoli, the heads of the European commission, council and parliament said Moscow's action on Friday had been "groundless".

| More than 100 lone children rescued trying to cross Mediterranean Posted: 30 Apr 2021 08:12 AM PDT Unicef warns many child refugees and migrants picked up off the coast of Libya will be sent to 'appalling' detention centres Fears are rising over the numbers of lone children risking their lives to reach Europe after 114 were pulled from the Mediterranean Sea in one day this week. The unaccompanied minors were among 125 children rescued off the Libyan coast on Tuesday by the authorities, aid agencies said. Continue reading... |
| How Biden’s firm line with Republicans draws on lesson of Obama’s mistakes Posted: 01 May 2021 12:00 AM PDT The president has sought bipartisan support but not at the cost of delay and dilution of his bold policies Joe Biden started his presidential campaign with promises to be a unifying force in Washington who would help lawmakers come together to achieve bipartisan reform. But over his first 100 days in office, Biden's message to Republicans in Congress has been closer to this: get on board or get out of my way. This willingness to go it alone if necessary appears to be a hard-won lesson from the early years of Barack Obama's presidency, when Democrats negotiated with Republicans on major bills only to have them vote against the final proposals.

| Dozens of Canada’s First Nations lack drinking water: ‘Unacceptable in a country so rich’ Posted: 30 Apr 2021 07:12 AM PDT Indigenous leaders are suing the Canadian government for not providing clean water – and ministers admit they have failed Curve Lake First Nation, a forested community in southern Canada, is surrounded on three sides by fresh water. But for decades, residents have been unable to safely make use of it. Wary of crumbling infrastructure and waterborne illness, the community instead relies on shipments of bottled water. The community's newly elected chief, aged 34, has lived her whole life without the guarantee of clean water flowing from the tap. Continue reading... |

| Britain’s aid cuts: what’s been announced so far Posted: 30 Apr 2021 07:57 AM PDT Some programmes will have their funding cut by 85% or more as the UK reduces its spending Britain announced last year that it would cut aid spending from 0.7% of national income to 0.5% – a reduction of more than £4bn. The cuts are not split evenly, with some programmes having funding reduced by 85% or more. The Foreign Office said it would still spend more than £10bn this year to fight poverty, tackle the climate crisis and improve global health and would return to its 0.7% target when economic circumstances allowed – but it did not give a date or criteria for this. Among the cuts so far are: Continue reading... |

| Biden urged to end US aid ‘abortion ban’ Posted: 30 Apr 2021 06:41 AM PDT More than 140 rights groups call for repeal of 1973 Helms amendment widely misinterpreted as total ban on funding abortion services overseas Joe Biden is being urged to clarify a longstanding US law restricting overseas aid that has been misinterpreted by successive administrations as an outright ban on funding abortion for any reason. As the US president marked his first 100 days in office on Friday, more than 140 human rights and global health organisations, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International US and the Global Justice Center, signed a letter asking him to confirm that US aid can be used for abortion care in cases of rape, incest and when the woman's life is in danger.
