| Israel’s army drafts Gaza ground operation plan as mob violence escalates Posted: 13 May 2021 12:04 AM PDT Plans being prepared for senior Israeli military figures and politicians to consider Israel's military is drafting a plan for a possible ground operation in Gaza, as it presses ahead with a fierce air offensive on the enclave and as Hamas, the militant group that runs Gaza, fires volleys of rockets deep into Israel. Meanwhile, racist mob attacks have continued to spread through Israel in the worst Arab-Jewish chaos for years. Overnight on Wednesday, far-right Jewish mobs took to the streets across the country searching for Arabs, while Palestinian citizens of Israel clashed with police, including reports of attempted shootings.

| ‘Weak’ US let Saudis jail more dissidents, says rights group Posted: 13 May 2021 12:00 AM PDT Lack of US sanctions on crown prince led to harsher sentences for critics of regime, Grant Liberty reports The Biden administration's failure to impose sanctions on Saudi Arabia's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has led to a increase in severe sentences for political prisoners in the kingdom, the Guardian can reveal. The UK-based human rights organisation Grant Liberty found that twice as many harsh sentences had been meted out to Saudi prisoners of conscience in April than in the first three months of this year combined. It followed the Biden administration's decision on 26 February to publish an intelligence report that showed the crown prince, "approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi".

| Asia is home to 99 of world’s 100 most vulnerable cities Posted: 13 May 2021 02:58 AM PDT Indonesia's capital Jakarta – plagued by pollution, flooding and heatwaves – tops risk assessment ranking Of the 100 cities worldwide most vulnerable to environmental hazards all but one are in Asia, and 80% are in India or China, according to a risk assessment. More than 400 large cities with a total population of 1.5 billion are at "high" or "extreme" risk due to a mix of life-shortening pollution, dwindling water supplies, deadly heatwaves, natural disasters and climate change, the report found.

Authorities in Funing county, in Yunnan province, also put caps on weddings and funerals, limiting guest numbers and food budgets. The measures, seemingly targeted at potential corruption, include bans on using official vehicles for business or collecting gifts and cash that are "obviously higher [value] than normal reciprocity".

| Two transgender women jailed in Cameroon over homosexuality law Posted: 12 May 2021 11:00 PM PDT Social media celebrity Shakiro and friend given five-year sentences as rights groups fear crackdown on LGBT+ community Two transgender women in Cameroon have been convicted of "attempting homosexuality" and sentenced to five years in prison, in a case feared to be part of a growing campaign against sexual minorities, according to rights groups. Shakiro, a popular social media figure identified in court as Loïc Njeukam, and Patricia, identified as Roland Mouthe, were convicted on Tuesday. The charges included public indecency and non-possession of a national ID card, an offence rarely prosecuted in Cameroon. Continue reading... |
| Brazilian police target indigenous leaders after government criticism Posted: 13 May 2021 02:00 AM PDT Investigations into leaders closed after judges find no grounds for the cases and describe the situation as an 'illegal embarrassment' Human rights activists in Brazil have warned that the country's authorities are targeting indigenous leaders after police launched investigations into two prominent critics of the government of Jair Bolsonaro. Sônia Guajajara, the head of Brazil's largest indigenous organization, the Association of Indigenous Peoples (Apib), and Almir Suruí had been put under investigation last month over social media campaigns raising awareness of the threat that Covid-19 poses to Brazil's indigenous population.

| One in 10 EU nationals in UK may leave after June – survey Posted: 13 May 2021 03:12 AM PDT Research shows lack of trust in government as deadline to apply for settled status approaches One in 10 EU nationals in the UK are considering leaving after 30 June, the deadline for applications to remain lawfully in the country post-Brexit, according to a survey. Common reasons cited in the research included a lack of trust in the government and a feeling that the UK is a less welcoming place as a result of Brexit, with 30% of respondents saying they had concerns that their rights would not be upheld by public bodies.

The findings "are cause for concern" and highlight a potential threat to newborns' health, the study's authors say. Continue reading... |
| US Target stores to stop selling Pokémon cards after rising value prompts threats to staff Posted: 12 May 2021 08:34 PM PDT The dramatic rise in the re-sale value of the cards prompted a fight in Wisconsin during which a man pulled a gun US retail giant Target will stop selling Pokémon playing cards out of an "abundance of caution" for its staff and other shoppers. The re-sale value of the cards has increased dramatically during the coronavirus pandemic, prompting chaos and threats to staff. Target will also stop selling MLB, NFL and NBA sports playing cards. The decision comes after man pulled a gun during a fight over trading cards in a Target parking lot in Brookfield, Wisconsin on 7 May. Police said the 35-year-old man produced the gun when he was assaulted by four men aged 23-35 as he left the store, ABC reported. Continue reading... |
| More frequent side-effects reported mixing Pfizer and Oxford Covid jabs, study suggests Posted: 12 May 2021 03:30 PM PDT However, UK trial found two doses of the same vaccine triggered less adverse reactions Administering one dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine followed by one of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine (or vice versa) induces a higher frequency of mild to moderate side-effects compared with standard two doses of either vaccine, initial data from a key UK trial suggests. The Oxford-led Com-Cov study is exploring the safety and efficacy of mixed-dose schedules given that they are being considered in several countries – including the UK – to fortify vaccine rollout programmes that are dependent on unstable vaccine supplies.

| ‘Hell on earth’: bereaved families on the battle for a Covid inquiry Posted: 12 May 2021 11:00 PM PDT The Bereaved Families for Justice group say the fight for a public inquiry has left a legacy of mistrust For families whose loved ones died due to Covid-19, and who have been calling on the government to hold a public inquiry for over a year, Boris Johnson's announcement of a statutory inquiry to start next year came as a bittersweet landmark. Jo Goodman, whose father, Stuart, 72, died last April, and who co-founded the Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice group almost exactly a year ago, said their campaign had been vindicated, but the battle with the government has caused them "trauma upon trauma" and left a legacy of mistrust. While the announcement was "a huge relief", the group warned that the inquiry was starting too late, and called on the government to involve bereaved families in key decision-making, including the choice of chair and terms of reference for the inquiry. Elkan Abrahamson, a Liverpool-based solicitor who has worked for free on the group's behalf, first wrote to Johnson on 11 June last year, calling for a rapid public inquiry, naming 56 bereaved families. The group emphasised the need for an immediate, "rapid review" inquiry, so that lessons could be learned to avoid a second wave of the virus. Goodman said it was devastating for families to see thousands more people die in the winter, and the group still believes the inquiry should be set up immediately. Continue reading... |
| Covid variant found in India may delay lifting of England restrictions, minister admits Posted: 13 May 2021 02:02 AM PDT James Cleverly says decisions will be driven by data amid concerns over rapid jump in cases Concerns over the spread of the coronavirus variant first detected in India could affect the final lifting of restrictions in England, a UK minister has conceded. The government plans to press ahead with the final stage of its lifting of lockdown on 21 June, when most restrictions will be lifted, including all legal limits on social contact.

| Delaying second Covid vaccine doses can save lives, study finds Posted: 12 May 2021 03:30 PM PDT Modelling suggests countries struggling to immunise populations could adopt UK strategy Delaying the second dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccines as the UK has done can save lives, according to a US modelling study that suggests other countries struggling to immunise their populations could adopt the strategy. Second shots of both vaccines and the Oxford/AstraZeneca jab are designed by the manufacturers to be given within three to four weeks of the first dose. The UK, however, opted for a 12-week delay between doses in a bid to ensure that more people received their first vaccination more quickly. Continue reading... |
| Tracey Emin on beating cancer: ‘You can curl up and die – or you can get on with it’ Posted: 12 May 2021 10:00 PM PDT As she starts to rebuild her life after surgery, the artist shares her unflinchingly honest cancer self-portraits, talks about seeing dead people in hospital walls, and explains why she's buying herself a punchbag – and kittens 'I'm smiling and talking to you," says Tracey Emin, sitting at her kitchen table. "But it's not always like this." We've been delaying this conversation until she finally felt well enough. She has been spending a lot of time in bed, just resting. On the phone, she sounded weak, but today she is indeed smiling, getting excited as she speaks – the Tracey who I have been fortunate enough to get to know. "Now I've got a terrible pain in my legs, it's unbearable. That's why I've been in bed. I'm determined to go for a walk later because I hardly ever go out. I have a urostomy bag, so I have a major disability. The more well I get, the more annoying it is. Previously it was all right because I was on morphine. But now I want to do things and I can't."

| China’s feminists protest against wave of online abuse with ‘internet violence museum’ Posted: 12 May 2021 09:27 PM PDT A growing nationalistic fervour is fuelling a torrent of vitriol against anyone speaking out against the state, especially women's rights activists Late last month, an "unknown hill in the Chinese desert" was blanketed in scores of large red and white banners, flapping vitriol in the breeze. "I hope you die, bitch," said one. "Little bitch, screw the feminists," said others. They were all actual messages sent to women, a direct act of harassment anonymised by social media. They were sent during weeks of intense debate about the treatment of women on platforms such as Weibo, sparked by the abuse of Xiao Meili who posted video of a man who threw hot liquid at her after she asked him to stop smoking.

| Linford Christie: Britain’s fastest ever sprinter on race, patriotism and persistence Posted: 13 May 2021 03:00 AM PDT From running to the shops in Jamaica to wrapping himself in the Union Jack, the Olympian has had phenomenal highs and bruising lows. He looks back on an extraordinary life in athletics
What he does remember is the warmth of life in Jamaica. The family home seemed to be vast, filled with sisters, his brother, cousins and aunties. The community was so tight that if he got up to any mischief, family friends would not hesitate to keep him in check. In Jamaica, his grandmother was in charge. "Growing up, she was everything," he says. "She was the mother, the doctor, the dentist; you name it, my grandma covered it." Continue reading... |
| Cruel, paranoid, failing: inside the Home Office Posted: 12 May 2021 10:00 PM PDT Something is badly wrong at the heart of one of Britain's most important ministries. How did it become so broken? For the thousands of people who end up on the wrong side of the Home Office each year, there is often a sudden moment of disbelief. This can't be happening, people tell themselves. They can't do this, can they? For Ruhena Miah, a sales assistant born and raised in the West Midlands, this moment came when she received a letter saying that if she wanted to marry the man she loved, she would have to move to Bangladesh. For Tayjay Thompson, a young man convicted of a drugs offence when he was 17, it was when he was told he would be deported to Jamaica, a country he'd left as a toddler. For Monique Hawkins, a Dutch software engineer, it was when her application for a residency permit was rejected, despite the fact she had lived in the UK for 24 years. For Omar, a refugee from Afghanistan (who asked me not to use his real name), it was when he stepped off the plane at Heathrow and discovered that he was being taken to a building that looked to him very much like a prison.

| Chainsaw massacre: tree poaching hits Canada amid lumber shortage Posted: 13 May 2021 02:45 AM PDT Officials on Vancouver Island say at least 100 trees have been illegally chopped down, leaving one stump with a face carved into it Two tree stumps signaled to Larry Pynn that something was wrong. Jutting from a mossy forest floor in western Canada, the fresh stumps were the final remnants of two western red cedars that had been chopped down by chainsaw. Nearby, a set of deep tire tracks ran for nearly a kilometer in the mud before terminating at the main road. Continue reading... |
| Cod almighty: how a ‘mythical’ Faroes delicacy has vanished Posted: 12 May 2021 11:00 PM PDT A giant cod that was once a fishing staple is now so rare it has become the preserve of a few fine diners It was no ordinary cod that Teitur Christensen was preparing. The head chef at Barbara Fish House, one of four restaurants located in tiny wooden houses in Tórshavn, the Faroe Islands' capital, Christensen was hosting what has become known as a "Bank evening", because of the main dish. In the small cosy rooms of these ancient houses – one of which was built more than 500 years ago – his team was getting ready to serve what has become an almost mythical fish: the Faroe Bank cod. The Faroe Bank cod's reputation is partly built on its size. It is huge: a three-year-old specimen is already twice as large, on average, as the Atlantic cod. But it is also legendary because of its rarity. A genetically distinctive member of the cod family, it was once plentiful before being nearly fished to extinction. In 2008, all commercial fishing of Faroe Bank cod was banned. Only the Faroe Marine Research Institute (Famri) is now allowed to catch them, when its researchers survey the fish population twice a year. Continue reading... |
| Funeral venues in England still capping mourners, grieving mother says Posted: 12 May 2021 11:00 PM PDT Parent of stabbing victim Tai O'Donnell finds London venues restricting numbers despite 17 May lockdown easing A grieving mother said she had "nowhere left to turn" after dozens of possible venues for a funeral service near London refused to let her invite more than 30 mourners, despite England's coronavirus restrictions being about to change. Stacey O'Donnell, whose 19-year-old son, Tai O'Donnell, was stabbed to death in his home in Croydon on 3 March, said she was "shattered" by her attempts to find a venue for the service.

| Thousands of Cambodians go hungry in strict lockdown zones Posted: 12 May 2021 11:30 PM PDT Rights groups say government and UN inaction has left people lacking food and medicine for weeks Tens of thousands of Cambodians are going hungry under the country's strict lockdown as Covid cases continue to rise amid criticism from human rights groups that the government and the UN are being too slow to act. The south-east Asian country had recorded one of the world's smallest coronavirus caseloads, but infections have climbed from about 500 in late February to 20,695 this week, with 136 deaths.

| EU states cooperating informally to deny refugees asylum rights – report Posted: 12 May 2021 07:04 AM PDT Beatings, thefts and dog attacks are just some of the border police practices migrants say they face when pushed back from Europe's frontiers Informal cooperation between states has prevented thousands of women, men and children from seeking protection in Europe this year, according to a report released by nine human rights organisations. The Protecting Rights at Borders (Prab) initiative has recorded 2,162 cases of "pushbacks" at different borders in Italy, Greece, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Hungary carried out on the basis of bilateral agreements between countries, which resulted in them circumventing their responsibilities and pushing unwanted groups back outside the EU.

| Posted: 12 May 2021 03:16 AM PDT Leaders failed to act fast enough when Covid-19 appeared. They must not keep making the same mistakes Death and illness from Covid-19 is steadily rising once again. In the last week of April, more than 93,000 people died – approaching the worst of the global second wave. How can this still be happening? How can some countries still be experiencing wave after wave of infection when we know how to prevent them? For the past eight months, the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response has been rigorously reviewing the evidence of what happened to allow Covid-19 to take a firm grip – and why. The panel spoke to hundreds of experts and people on the frontline of the response, and conducted extensive original research and numerous literature reviews. Continue reading... |
| PM’s Covid inquiry delay shows No 10 already eyeing next general election Posted: 12 May 2021 12:16 PM PDT Analysis: delay all but guarantees that few conclusions will have been reached by 2023 When Boris Johnson let slip to the Liberal Democrat leader, Ed Davey, on Tuesday that he would kick-off a Covid inquiry in the current session of parliament, it initially appeared to be an off-the-cuff remark. But as he prepared to give MPs a "Covid update" on Wednesday, it became clear No 10 has made the calculation that now was the right moment to announce an inquiry – though not yet to allow it to start work.

| Liz Cheney’s ousting proves the ‘big lie’ is the Republican party’s religion Posted: 12 May 2021 08:06 AM PDT The ousting of Cheney snuffs out all doubt – Republicans don't think they can win next year's midterm elections without Trump Lafayette Square, outside the White House, reopened this week to strolling couples, tourists and scampering children. After nearly a year sealed off by eight-foot metal fencing, it was one more sign of life in America getting back to normal. Then there's the danger. For more than three months it's been tempting for many to assume that, with Joe Biden in the White House and Donald Trump off Twitter, democracy survived its near-death experience, recovered and checked out of hospital. But the ousting of Liz Cheney by the Republican party shows that the potential for a relapse is all too real. Continue reading... |
| Gaza weapons boast may come back to haunt Hamas Posted: 12 May 2021 07:35 AM PDT Analysis: attacks will challenge Israeli establishment to deal with a threat made suddenly very real In the rounds of fighting and violence between Hamas and Israel in Gaza in the last dozen years, one thing has always appeared baked into the proposition. For all their industriousness and attempts at innovation in developing weapons and ways of attacking, Hamas and Islamic Jihad have been at best largely ineffectual when it comes to targeting Israel from inside the Gaza Strip. From the early rocket systems to labour-intensive attack tunnels and incendiary balloons, the efforts were crude. Even when the rockets became more sophisticated by the time of the 2014 conflict, flying further and with bigger warheads, most of them were shot out of the sky. Continue reading... |

Al Sayed continued to provide commentary despite being forced to move away from the camera by the explosions. The targeted building housed businesses in addition to offices for Hamas' Al-Aqsa satellite channel and is located in one of the busiest streets of Gaza's Roman neighbourhood. The airstrike is part of continued violence between Israel and Palestinian militants that is the most serious conflict between the parties since 2014 Continue reading... |

The speaker, Trevor Mallard, told Waititi to sit down, but instead he performed the haka, a traditional dance or challenge accompanied by a chant. 'Order.
