Dozens of Spanish beaches were forced to close

Chief Editor

Dozens of Spanish beaches were forced to close yesterday after crowds of people flocked to the beach – as British tourists prepare to descend on the country again.    Nearly 30 Costa del Sol beaches had to turn visitors away at the busiest times of the day on Sunday in resorts including Benalmadena. Even before Covid-19, 2 million people died from zoonotic diseases every year, mostly in poorer countries. The coronavirus outbreak was highly predictable, the experts said. “[Covid-19] may be the worst, but it is not the first,” said the UN environment chief, Inger Andersen. The biggest economic costs fall … Continue reading Dozens of Spanish beaches were forced to close

They had planned lives, families and careers in Hong Kong

Chief Editor

They had planned lives, families and careers in Hong Kong. Now at a gathering of young professionals, one topic dominated conversation — to stay or to flee. All but one was considering quitting the territory as China imposed sweeping new national security legislation on their homeland. The clampdown, proclaimed without consultation on Tuesday night, was even more draconian than feared. Secret courts, unaccountable police units, worldwide reach and penalties of up to life in prison were among the provisions. ‘We can confirm that The Little Mermaid has been vandalised some time before 9:00 am this morning,’ Copenhagen police said in … Continue reading They had planned lives, families and careers in Hong Kong

China has tried to blame Spain

Chief Editor

China has tried to blame Spain for the new strain of coronavirus while suggesting the deadly disease originated in Europe and not Wuhan. The first cases were detected in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late 2019 – with many involving workers at a wet market – before the virus rapidly spread around the world, killing more than 525,000 people. Protest leaders are struggling to come up with new tactics for opposing the authority of Beijing without risking long prison sentences, and one of Hong Kong’s leading young democrats has joined a growing number of activists leaving the territory. Nathan … Continue reading China has tried to blame Spain

Donald Trump is golfing ahead

Chief Editor

Donald Trump is golfing ahead of his trip to South Dakota for the Mount Rushmore 2020 Fireworks Celebration. The first lady will also attend the controversial event. As the coronavirus cases soar across the south and west of the nation, the president bragged about the Nasdaq having its 23rd record close of the year in an unhinged-looking all-caps tweet. The president also argued that Black Lives Matter protesters angered by the police killings of George Floyd and other black Americans would have wiped out the city of Minneapolis had he not sent in the National Guard to stop the demonstrations, … Continue reading Donald Trump is golfing ahead

The government is preparing to award coronavirus testing

Chief Editor

The government is preparing to award coronavirus testing contracts worth an estimated £5bn to commercial bidders, in what critics fear is a “backdoor” subsidy to the private sector. The vast new budget, which works out at £2.5bn per year and will be managed by Public  Health England (PHE), is equal to the entire annual spend on English NHS laboratories. It came as the US Senate approved a bill imposing sanctions on Chinese officials and any Hong Kong police units clashing with protesters. China’s foreign ministry warned of “strong countermeasures” against the US if the bill becomes law. China has said … Continue reading The government is preparing to award coronavirus testing

Footage shows how clean the air is

Chief Editor

Footage shows how clean the air is after three months of coronavirus lockdown in Bangkok, Thailand.  The tropical skyline was clouded in a toxic smog made of harmful PM2.5 particles at the start of the year, caused by construction, cars and agricultural fires. Among locations hit by the escalating rate of infections there has been San Quentin prison, with 900 new cases in the past fortnight. The state’s outbreak, however, has been centred on Los Angeles county, which has hit its own milestone of 100,000 cases, including 3,300 deaths, with the LA county public health director, Barbara Ferrer, warning of … Continue reading Footage shows how clean the air is

A secretive Russian intelligence unit

Chief Editor

A secretive Russian intelligence unit has been offering the Taliban bounties to kill British and American soldiers in Afghanistan. The Times understands that American intelligence officials informed their British security counterparts that the Russian group at the centre of the claims is believed to be Unit 29155. This is the elite subversion and assassination wing of the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence arm, whose agents were charged with the attempted murder of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury in 2018. The men – from a terror group called the Balochistan Liberation Army – threw grenades at a security post near the … Continue reading A secretive Russian intelligence unit

Chief Editor

The number of lives lost to coronavirus Covid-19 around the world has passed half a million. The US-based Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Centre confirmed the grim landmark has been reached and now stands at 500,108 as of 10pm on Sunday night. Mr Trump’s “entire presidency has been a gift to Putin”, he said. A former senior Pentagon official said it beggared belief that the president had not been informed of such a controversial piece of intelligence, as claimed by the White House. Areas of the city are no-go zones, with one abandoned cinema serving as the macaques’ base – and … Continue reading The number of lives lost to coronavirus Covid-19 around the world has passed half a million

Ten countries currently facing serious increases in coronavirus infections are among those nations with less stringent approaches to managing their outbreaks

Chief Editor

Ten countries currently facing serious increases in coronavirus infections are among those nations with less stringent approaches to managing their outbreaks. Guardian analysis of coronavirus data, in combination with the University of Oxford’s coronavirus government response tracker, has identified that 10 of the 45 most badly-affected countries are also among those rated as having a “relaxed response” to the pandemic, underlining the mitigating impact of effective government public health policies. The president has repeatedly sought to strip crucial protections in the law, including a recent antidiscrimination policy that prevents health providers and doctors from refusing to cover LGBT+ people. Mr … Continue reading Ten countries currently facing serious increases in coronavirus infections are among those nations with less stringent approaches to managing their outbreaks
