Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination

Chief Editor

Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination yesterday but pledged to continue to try to move the party to the left. The democratic socialist insisted that he was “winning the ideological battle” but acknowledged that clinching the nomination was now “virtually impossible”. His decision clears the path for Joe Biden, 77, to take on President Trump in November. Ardern said the country was already ‘turning a corner’ just six weeks after the epidemic reached New Zealand, which has only 992 confirmed cases and one death so far.  Lockdown measures could be softened in just over … Continue reading Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination

Chief Editor

A young mum has issued a coronavirus warning after going on a date that turned into a fight for her life. Amie Morris started experiencing a sore throat, fever and lost her sense of taste and smell just one day after the date. The Democratic chairman of the House armed services committee had called for Mr Modly to resign or be sacked and President Trump said he would intervene because Captain Crozier had had such an impressive career.

Chief Editor

The Trump administration is determined to withdraw from a 28-year-old treaty intended to reduce the risk of an accidental war between the west and Russia by allowing reconnaissance flights over each other’s territory. Despite the coronavirus pandemic, which has put off a full national security council (NSC) meeting on the Open Skies Treaty (OST), the secretary of defence, Mark Esper, and secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, have agreed to proceed with a US exit, according to two sources familiar with administration planning. The monarch’s intervention came after the health secretary criticised members of the public for flocking to parks to … Continue reading The Trump administration is determined to withdraw from a 28-year-old treaty

The 36-year-old mother, identified only as Galina, is said to have been infected with the virus at a perinatal centre in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk, in western Ukraine. “For the past week, none of these people who usually help me have come in sight,” she said, her voice cracking with sadness. “They are all at home because of the lockdown; they don’t have any job and so they cannot help me any more.” When prime minister Narendra Modi announced almost two weeks ago that India’s … Continue reading A woman has died from coronavirus hours after giving birth to her daughter in Ukraine

Hungary is turning into the EU’s first fully fledged autocracy

Chief Editor

Hungary is turning into the EU’s first fully fledged autocracy, critics have warned, after its prime minister assumed the indefinite power to rule by decree and protests grew against a nationalist curriculum imposed upon schools. The emergency powers presaged an assault on the free press, analysts said, and the state takeover of retailers and energy and healthcare companies, some 140 of which are already being monitored by military “task forces”. Both had been working in Messina, Sicily, but were drafted in to help out with the coronavirus outbreak. Lorena will be awarded her medical degree posthumously as a tribute, Messina … Continue reading Hungary is turning into the EU’s first fully fledged autocracy

A 12-year-old girl in Belgium has become the youngest known person to die from coronavirus in Europe

Chief Editor

A 12-year-old girl in Belgium has become the youngest known person to die from coronavirus in Europe. Announcing the news, Dr Emmanuel Andre, spokesman for the country’s coronavirus crisis centre, said it was “an emotionally difficult moment, because it involves a child, and it has also upset the medical and scientific community”. The claim has been mad by a former prisoner, who survived the hell of Kaechon concentration camp. Using the pseudonym Kim Il-soon, she said: “The lands are very fertilised, and farming is successful there because the buried human bodies serve as natural fertilisers. Last month President Trump and … Continue reading A 12-year-old girl in Belgium has become the youngest known person to die from coronavirus in Europe

The US agriculture giant Monsanto and the German chemical giant BASF

Chief Editor

The US agriculture giant Monsanto and the German chemical giant BASF were aware for years that their plan to introduce a new agricultural seed and chemical system would probably lead to damage on many US farms, internal documents seen by the Guardian show. Risks were downplayed even while they planned how to profit off farmers who would buy Monsanto’s new seeds just to avoid damage, according to documents unearthed during a recent successful $265m lawsuit brought against both firms by a Missouri farmer. Elsewhere, Democratic front-runner Joe Biden has attacked the president as “reckless and ignorant” for accusing New York … Continue reading The US agriculture giant Monsanto and the German chemical giant BASF

A ‘bright and much loved’ French schoolgirl with no underlying medical condition has died from coronavirus

Chief Editor

A ‘bright and much loved’ French schoolgirl with no underlying medical condition has died from coronavirus and is believed to be the youngest victim in Europe. Tributes were today being paid to Julie Alliot, 16, who succumbed to respiratory problems in a Paris hospital on Wednesday after first developing a ‘slight cough’ a week ago. The data suggests that millions of secret tracking requests emanated from Saudi Arabia over a four-month period beginning in November 2019. The tracking requests, which sought to establish the US location of Saudi–registered phones, appeared to originate from Saudi’s three biggest mobile phone companies. The … Continue reading A ‘bright and much loved’ French schoolgirl with no underlying medical condition has died from coronavirus
