HMRC is offering a reprieve to the self-employed but many remain unaware
Almost a million struggling freelancers face overpaying tax this year because of HM Revenue & Customs’ automatic system which does not take earnings lost during the pandemic into account.
One in five of Britain’s four and a half million freelancers who saw their incomes drop last year will overpay if they fail to ask the tax authority for a reprieve, research has suggested.
This is because HMRC’s “payment on account” system calculates advanced tax payments based on tax bills from the previous years – and dips in income incurred throughout the year are not factored in.
The first of these advanced payments is due on January 31. The tax authority will allow self-assessment taxpayers to reduce their payment on account bills if their earnings have dropped but more than a third of freelancers are unaware this facility exists, according to accountants TaxScouts.
HMRC will eventually refund any taxpayers who pay over the odds and anyone underpaying will be hit with interest charges.
However, self-employed people unsure of their earnings this year risk running out of cash if they pay too much. Experts said it would pile yet further pressure on the self-employed, a group particularly hard hit in 2020.
Andrew Chamberlain of the freelancer trade body IPSE said hundreds of thousands of freelancers could be “unfairly” caught.
“Right now, because of the pandemic and the gaps in support, the freelance sector is under more financial strain than at any time in recent history. The last thing it needs is mistaken tax bills adding to that,” he said.
Freelancers’ incomes dropped 30pc to their lowest levels on record after the pandemic and have remained depressed. More than quarter of a million freelancers gave up on the self-employed dream to return to employed work, causing freelance numbers to drop and reversing a decade-long upward trend (as the below chart shows).
Large numbers were unable to claim state support because they did not have a long enough tax history or because they fell through cracks in the system, leaving them to fall back on basic benefits like Universal Credit and struggling to pay bills.
Many will now be facing having to pay larger tax bills than normal on January 31, as tax payments deferred during the first stages of the pandemic are due.
The tax authority has made it easier for anyone who thinks they will struggle to pay to apply for a “Time to Pay” payment plan, which spreads the cost.
It has said it is ready to support those in need and has asked people to get in touch before February if they need help.

In the third part of our series on the future of work, we look at two professions that are at risk from automation
|
In the third part of our series on the future of work, we look at two professions that are at risk from automation
How does all this look in the real world? The ONS classifies all work into 9 Major Groups, from CEOs and Generals in Group 1 (Managers, Directors and Senior Officials) to warehouse staff and farm labourers in Group 9 (Elementary Occupations).
Each group faces very different risks from automation. Often, though not always, the less skilled a job, the more at risk it is. And because women and young people often do less-skilled, casual work, as they start careers, or juggle the childcare which still falls overwhelmingly to them, these two groups face the greatest risk of automation.
ONS analysis shows that 70pc of the roles at high risk of automation are held by women. And it is people aged 20 to 24 years who are most at risk of having their job automated, compared to other age groups (indeed, at 15.7pc their risk is more than 10x the risk of those aged 35-39).
To understand these risks and realities better, we talked to workers from a specific career within each of the nine groups, looking at the skills involved in their jobs, and assessing the latest technological advances to see how safe those jobs might be from automation and why.
Because of the importance of gender and age, we have recorded the Male/Female breakdown in each career (taken from the ONS’s annual population survey) and the proportion of those in each profession aged 16-24.
Average salaries are taken from the National Careers Service and subject interviews. Also, so you can see what experts think, we include the ONS’s own estimates of the percentage of jobs each career path risks losing to automation, and how automatable each career is - as estimated in a paper by the academics Carl Frey and Michael Osborne which is considered the grandfather of all such guesstimate studies about the impact of automation.
What did the job involve? I flew the Tornado GR4 from 1994-2011, including operational service in Iraq, with 2 Squadron based at RAF Marham. Essentially you are operating a very complex system, trying to calculate risks and take decisions under huge pressure and stress, with, clearly the potential for enormous impact on the ground. Generally, in my career, we were airborne 3-4 times a week, a typical flight is 90 minutes, with 2-3 hour planning before each sortie, an hour preflight briefing, 90 minute debrief after. When we weren’t in the UK, we would spend months in the Gulf, and weeks on overseas exercises with Nato allies.
How long have you been doing it? It costs millions to train pilots, so you have to sign on for 18 years, which makes your 40th birthday a natural stopping point for those who don’t want to fly the desk, as they say, and start a second career.
What training did you get? Elementary flying training for 6-8 months; basic flying training, 11 months; then about a year of advanced flying training, which is where you learn tactical weapons training and air combat, weaponeering, attack profiles. And afterwards of course you are always training: night flying, air combat, dropping weapons, it’s a battle constantly trying to stay current. Low-level flying, for example, is a really erodible skill.
How much does it pay? £27,273 - £42,009 (starter to experienced)
Percentage aged between 16-24 in the role? 8pc
Proportion of male to females in the role? 89pc/11pc
What took longest to learn? Having situational awareness, having that ability not to just react to the now but constantly to project ahead.
What is the most boring bit? None of it was boring, but circuit flying, waiting to land was, well, most routine.
Could a robot do your job? The Tornado was a 2-seat aircraft, with a pilot and “wizzo” (weapons systems operator). Now our fighters - the Eurofighter and F-35 - are all one-seat.
Some of the stuff in the F-35, it’s voice activated, heads-up-display, helmet sighting - stuff we had to do hydraulically, they do automatically. I used to think of myself as the taxi driver for the wizzo, now tech has allowed the jobs to be combined.
Today, hand on heart, I do think that automation can and will go the whole way and take over everything. You lose the weight of the ejection seat, you’re not putting a body over enemy territory; you still have a human in the system flying the machine remotely - people join the RAF these days specifically as UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) pilots. I hate to say it, I’m talking myself out of what was my job, but it’s true.
We are all aware of the dramatic impact drones have had on the battlefield in recent years. Today, the line between traditional piloted fighters and unmanned jets is being ever more blurred. Take the Tempest - the RAF’s next generation fighter, due to enter service in 2035. It will have a pilot, but that aircraft might be surrounded by many or few uncrewed Lightweight Affordable Novel Combat Aircraft (LANCA) - providing what the RAF calls “manned, unmanned and optionally-manned platforms”.
The Tempest won’t have a single “dial or screen” in the cockpit. Rather, “augmented and virtual reality helmets will project interactive cockpit displays and controls directly in front of pilots eyes”. It sounds dazzling, but so much wizardry begs the question, why put a person in harms way at all?
The savings would be immense. In the US it costs an estimated $10m to train an F-35 pilot. And then there is the ongoing cost of keeping skills sharp.
Would machines actually do it better? America’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has just run a competition to find out, pitting a F-16 pilot, callsign “Banger”, against an AI pilot. The AI won 5-0. Banger didn’t score a single hit. “The US military will have unmanned aircraft that you could give a mission, load it up, have it take off, and have it potentially fight its way in and fight its way back out,” reckons Darpa’s Col Dan Javorsek. “That's absolutely possible and something likely to happen probably sooner than we ever imagine.”
Flying, combat and civilian, is a fascinating test-bed of technological progress. There was a period during her career, says Hickson, that automation advanced in leaps and bounds, but crash rates stayed stubbornly high. That’s because pilots and crew needed to learn not to abdicate responsibility to the robots, communicate better, and remember to take charge when the tech went wrong. “Flying is a degradable skill,” she says.
Bottom Line: Fighter pilots will probably become coordinators of swarms of unmanned vehicles to create what Darpa calls “overwhelming combat effects”. Will they still the fly the aircraft? Probably not. “The computers will look after the split-second maneuvering during within-visual-range dogfights."
Implications for this job group? Despite the trendlines for fighter pilots specifically, leaders generally - from military officers to CEOs - are forecast to weather the storm of automation well. Overseeing strategy and motivating disparate workforces require a blend of social and professional skills that machines will struggle to emulate in the short term. Those most at risk in this group? Shopkeepers, with 42pc of jobs set to go.
ONS jobs at risk estimate: 23pc
What does your job involve? 80pc of the work is surface preparation, cleaning and repairing surfaces, priming it. But there is also chatting with clients, working out what their requirements are, understanding the relationship between couples who might want different things. I do offer advice.
How has Covid affected life? I can’t do the job remotely so I had less demand; exactly half what I made in 2019. People had to work from home, so they couldn’t handle the disruption. And I felt it put me at risk a bit, going into homes.
How long have you been doing it? 12 years
What training did you get? I studied as an apprentice, stayed for 5 years, then started on my own.
How much does it pay? £15,000-£30,000.
Percentage aged between 16-24 in the role? 7pc
Proportion of male to females in the role? 93pc/7pc
What do you think are the hardest bits? Dealing with customers. Technically, the toughest bit is called “cutting in” - perfecting the straight line between a white ceiling and coloured wall. Some people never master that.
What is the most boring bit? Making good and filling surfaces; washing brushes every day.
Will you always do this? Looks like.
Do you think your job will be the same when you retire? You can see paint spraying machines on big commercial jobs, and machines that do plastering and jointing between plasterboards. But to combine everything at a smaller scale in people’s homes, where every little surface is different, and customers are different, robots couldn’t do it. Maybe in 100 years.
Robots - from painters to bricklayers - are certainly coming to the building trade though - as Stamenow points out - most of that innovation will be driven by big new build, commercial projects. The first house in the UK built by an automatic brickie was completed a few months ago.
Fiddly, non-repetitive tasks, on smaller jobs, will be safer for longer, because - as logistics firms like Ocado have shown - robots are good at emulating or bettering single qualities of the human hand - precision, pressure sensing, dexterity, temperature gauging, strength etc - they are still a way off combining those qualities as we do.
Would machines actually do it better? Clearly robots would find “cutting in” a breeze. And augmented reality tools are already helping customers pick paint colours, by projecting shades onto the walls of their homes before they buy.
Bottom Line: There is already a widely lamented skills shortage on UK building sites. As older tradespeople retire, big firms may take the opportunity to invest in machines that don’t tire and are not affected by accidents. Sole tradesmen, however, are unlikely to be displaced.
Implications for this job group: The impact of automation on skilled tradesmen will vary more than for any other group. Groudsmen and greenkeepers, working outside, are hard to automate and less vulnerable, says the ONS, than musicians in Group 3’s “technical occupations”. But more than half of those fixed in place highstreet artisans doing repetitive tasks - fishmongers and butchers and bakers - are likely to lose their jobs to robots. The most vulnerable? Florists, where 63pc of jobs are at risk.
How automatable? 75pc
ONS jobs at risk estimate: 54pc

The $47m funding round saw BP and Tencent take a stake
BP has taken a stake in self-driving vehicle start-up Oxbotica as part of a $47m (£34.5m) funding round.
The oil and gas major invested alongside Chinese internet giant Tencent, London-listed IP Group and British fund BGF.
Oxbotica develops software for autonomous vehicles, specialising in industrial vehicles. It was founded by Oxford University’s Paul Newman, part of a team at the Oxford Robotics Institute that developed the first autonomous test car for British roads.
The start-up has experimented with robot taxis. In 2018, it announced it was working with Addison Lee on a robotaxi project for London, although the taxi firm quit the partnership in March last year after it was acquired by new investors.
An Oxbotica spokesperson said the start-up was now the lead partner and was planning a “multi-city autonomous vehicle demonstration” in Oxford and Greenwich.
Since then, Oxbotica’s projects have gained traction for industrial uses, signing a deal with mining company Wenco to develop self-driving systems for mining vehicles.
Oxbotica’s self-driving software is designed to work independently of GPS or high definition maps, meaning it can work even if it is cut off from signals or underground. It can combine lasers, radar and computer vision cameras to navigate.
It is not the first autonomous vehicle investment for BP, which has previously invested in autonomous trucking firm Peloton Technologies. In 2018, BP also acquired Chargemaster, the UK’s largest electric charging provider.
The deal also represents the latest in a string of UK investments for Tencent, the Chinese technology and gaming giant.
According to The Information, Oxbotica also explored a possible sale last summer, hiring advisors GP Bullhound.

Auntie's constant desire to fight a bitter rearguard action against Brexit is why so many are leaving the corporation behind

Auntie's constant desire to fight a bitter rearguard action against Brexit is why so many are leaving the corporation behind
Only seven days into 2021 and already we have a strong contender for least surprising survey result of the year. Nearly half of Britons think that the BBC no longer represents their values. Asked how good the corporation was at reflecting their point of view, 48 per cent said “fairly bad” or “very bad”, against 29 per cent who said “fairly well”.
And, lo, there came the Beeb’s coverage of the final stages of Brexit. Children’s choirs across the land performed popular British songs from Bobby Shafto to All You Need is Love. Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis donned Geri Halliwell’s iconic Union Jack dress and giggled: “Hey, maybe things outside the EU won’t be so bad after all.” The spectacular New Year’s Eve fireworks over the Thames featured well-loved faces and landmarks to convey a sense of national unity and dawning possibility as we became a sovereign nation once again…
Well, a licence fee-payer can dream, can’t she? Obviously, none of the above appeared on our screens, although they may well have proved popular. More popular, certainly, than the Black Lives Matter fist that featured in Sadiq Khan’s taxpayer-funded firework extravaganza. Instead, Eeyorish remainers, oops, sorry, reporters, went looking for evidence that, despite our surprisingly good trade deal, there would be major hold-ups at Dover. Imagine the poor dears’ distress when freight was seen to be moving smoothly and there were no queues on the M20 to gloat over.
Of this extremely promising start, we heard nothing. If there had been any problems, I guarantee camera crews would have been camped out at the roadside 24/7 interviewing peed-off Pierres.
Nor did the BBC deign to put Boris’s New Year message on its website. Lucky he’s not the national leader or anything.
It isn’t long since Tim Davie, the BBC’s new director-general, said he wanted to bring in “a better balance of satirical targets, rather than constantly aiming jokes at the Tories”. Perhaps Tim should have a word with Nish Kumar.
On Graham Norton’s New Year’s Eve special, the “comedian” called Nigel Farage “a sack of meat brought to life by a witch’s curse”, adding: “Now we have finally completed Brexit, I predict we will have a taste for leaving things and will vote to leave more stuff, starting with the continent of Europe, then the United Nations and finally the Earth.”
Funny to think that “Busy Lizzie” Truss, the International Trade Secretary, has managed to secure 63 trade deals in two years. The UK seems to to be joining more than leaving.
Here’s my new year reduction: if BBC glums continue to fight a bitter rearguard action against Brexit (and, incidentally, against a big chunk of its audience), we know who will have the last laugh. And it won’t be Frankie Boyle.

Fears Highlands are heading for spate of winter redundancies

The Highlands are heading for further winter redundancies as local tourism businesses shed jobs during the latest wave of coronavirus, compounding the hollowing out of the essential migrant workforce caused by Brexit, campaigners have warned.
Unions are reporting an increase in people being sacked rather than furloughed, with many of those laid off being EU nationals who are now forced to leave Scotland with no guarantee they can return after Brexit. With European workers fundamental to the Highland economy and society, this is likely to compound what analysts have described as the demographic timebomb facing the region.
The Scottish Tourism Workers League is calling for the Holyrood government to make business grants conditional on job retention after hearing “daily” from workers who have lost their jobs.
Jon Heggie, the organiser of the league, said: “At the beginning of lockdown, workers across Scotland won security by coming together and demanding that their bosses use the furlough scheme. With bosses across the tourism industry – in sectors like hospitality, heritage and tour guiding – sacking and evicting workers instead of furloughing them, we’re now supporting a new wave of workers to do the same.
“Workers in this industry stick together. We started organising with workers in Oban and Inverness-shire, and now we’re hearing from people across Scotland. Recently, there’s been a marked increase in contact from workers from EU countries as we approach Brexit. Tourism workers are fundamental to Scotland’s future, and deserve better.”
The league was set up in the summer by tourism workers to support each other in disputes over employment and accommodation. Those in the Highlands and Islands were particularly vulnerable: when the Coylumbridge hotel in Aviemore sacked at least 12 staff in March, making them homeless from tied accommodation just after the first lockdown was imposed, many did not realise they had rights as private tenants. The hotel later blamed the sacking and eviction notices on an “administrative error”.
Recent analysis by Highlands and Islands Enterprise has found unemployment increasing faster across the region than the rest of Scotland – 118% compared with the Scottish figure of 95% – and almost trebling among young people. Previous research for the Federation of Small Businesses found 45% of tourism and leisure employers in the Highlands had EU staff in their workforce, compared with 20% for the whole of the UK. While some businesses have argued that current layoffs are seasonal, 91% of non-UK EU nationals employed by businesses in the region are permanent staff.
Niall McLean, a councillor for Fort William and Ardnamurchan, said he was saddened by the job losses, particularly as younger migrant workers are essential to sustaining the local population.
“Our tourist industry could have a very bright future due to the worldwide love of Scotland, our landscape and people. Scotland needs to be in a position to invest in our offerings and provide long-term job security in the sector. And with a large number of young people choosing to work in the industry, the tourist sector is key to the survival of our communities”.
In early December there was a local outcry when the Fisher’s hotel in Pitlochry made about 20 staff, most of them from EU or EEA countries, redundant and asked them to leave their accommodation.
Fionn MacCumhaill, the managing director of the Castle Hotel Group, which owns Fisher’s, said he was “a generous employer”, but had let go 17 part-time seasonal workers after being denied government grants because supporting the staff through the furlough scheme was unsustainable.
Although immediate eviction notices were withdrawn after union intervention, many have since returned home to Poland, Spain, the Czech Republic and Hungary, with no guarantee they can return after 31 December.
Bryan Simpson, an organiser for Unite Hospitality, said this case was far from unique. “Hundreds of migrant workers have been left in the lurch by xenophobic immigration policies aided and abetted by the heartless actions of unscrupulous employers … As the region most reliant on hospitality and migrant workers, the Highlands can ill afford a situation where those same workers are put off or even legally prevented from returning due to the actions of multinational hospitality employers.”
John Swinney, the local MSP and Scotland’s deputy first minister, said there was significant government support in place to ensure businesses could continue to employ their staff.
“It is also the case that the majority of the affected workers are from countries within the European Union. Without a job or a place to stay, they have been forced to return to their home country. As a result of the end of freedom of movement, it may well be the case that – through no fault of their own – they will be unable to return to Scotland.”
Martin Kovács came from Hungary to Scotland to work in tourism in 2018. “This country was perfect for me. I came to love the people, the atmosphere, and the big cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh,” he says.
He started work as a barman at the Fisher’s hotel in Pitlochry in October, but was “absolutely shocked” to receive his redundancy notice, and to be told to leave his staff accommodation earlier this month.
“The hotel treated their staff well, so this came out of the blue, in the middle of a pandemic and with Brexit and Christmas not far away,” he says.
“We were given 12 days to vacate our staff accommodation after which we would be evicted. The company refused to re-furlough us, claiming they couldn’t afford the 5% employer contributions.”
Without savings, Kovács worried about how he would survive but, following pressure from Unite, he has been able to remain in his digs for now, although he has been told that there is no prospect of the hotel reinstating him.
Since then, he has applied for the EU settlement scheme, and universal credit, which will tide him over as he looks for work.
With a university degree and certificates in tourism and hospitality, he says he has been struck by how much Scotland relies on workers like him. “When I got my first job in a hotel in Loch Lomond, I was asking why so many staff were from the EU. Scotland really does rely on people like me, and we bring something positive to the country.”

2020 yılının başında Çin’in Wuhan kentinde ortaya çıkan ve kısa süre içerisinde tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan korona virüs pandemisi, yardımlaşmanın, dayanışmanın ve sosyal belediyeciliğin önemini bir kez daha ortaya koydu. Türkiye’de ilk korona virüs vakasının görüldüğü 11 Mart tarihinden itibaren gerekli tüm önlemleri alan Kuşadası Belediyesi, sosyal belediyecilik alanında yürüttüğü çalışmalarla da adından söz ettirdi. Kuşadası’nda yaşayan tüm kesimlerin kendilerini güvende hissetmeleri için çalışan Kuşadası Belediyesi, korona virüs pandemisinin damga vurduğu 2020 yılı boyunca vatandaşlarını bir an olsun yalnız bırakmadı. Yıl boyunca sürdürdüğü ayni ve nakdi yardımlarla Kuşadası’nda yaşayan hiç kimsenin mağduriyet yaşamasına izin vermeyen Kuşadası Belediyesi, tüm imkânlarını seferber ederek başarılı bir sosyal belediyecilik örneği sergiledi.

Onların yüzünde oluşan gülümseme motivasyonumuzu artırarak daha çok çalışmamız ve daha kaliteli hizmet üretmemiz için teşvik edici oldu. Birlik ve beraberlik içerisinde çalışarak aşamayacağımız güçlük yok. 2020 yılında bunu bir kez daha anladık” dedi.

AYDIN (DHA)ORMAN ve Su İşleri eski Bakanı Veysel Eroğlu, Aydın´ın su ihtiyacını giderecek Sarıçay Barajı projesini daha önce hayata geçireceklerini ancak kendilerini, CHP'li Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanının oyaladığını söyledi. Eroğlu, "DSİ'ye gerek yok, biz bu barajı belediye olarak kendimiz yaparız dediler, şayet DSİ'yi oyalamasaydı bu proje, çoktan tamamlanarak hizmete alınacaktı" dedi.Afyonkarahisar milletvekili, Orman ve Su İşleri eski Bakanı Prof. Dr. Veysel Eroğlu, Aydın'a olan gönül bağını sürdürmeye devam ediyor. Kentin 141 yıllık hayalini gerçekleştirdiklerini söyleyen Orman ve Su İşleri eski Bakanı Veysel Eroğlu 18 yılda su ihtiyacını karşılamaya yönelik 7,2 milyar TL'lik yatırım yaparak12 baraj ile 7 gölet inşa ettiklerini, 92 derenin de ıslahını gerçekleştirerek 480 bin dekar araziyi sulamaya açtıklarını belirtti. Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyesi´nin bundan sonraki süreçte suyun yönetimini doğru yapması gerektiğinin altını çizdi. Suyun hata kabul etmeyeceğini, bunun için de bilgi, tecrübe, aşk ve heyecan gerektiğini belirten Prof. Dr. Eroğlu Aydın´a yapılan su yatırımları ile hakkında şu açıklamayı yaptı:"Türkiye'nin gelişmesinde ve kalkınmasında büyük hizmetleri olan, demokrasi şehidimiz Rahmetli Başvekil Adnan Menderes'in aziz hatırasını yaşatarak; çalışkan ve misafirperver Aydınlı hemşehrilerimizin içme suyu ihtiyacını karşılamak için büyük yatırımlar yaptık. Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımız Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın talimatı ile `efeler diyarı´ güzel Aydın'a olan gönül bağım sebebiyle, Aydın'ın su yatırımları ve içme suyu meselesiyle bizzat ilgilendim. Aydın'ın su kaynaklarını değerlendirmek ve topraklarını sulamak için son 18 yılda baraj, gölet, sulama tesisi, içme suyu temin tesisleri ve taşkın koruma tesisi gibi pek çok su yatırımını kente kazandırdık. Aydın'a su ile alakalı takriben 7,2 milyar TL'lik muazzam bir yatırım yaptık. 12 baraj ve 7 gölet inşa ederek vatandaşlarımızın hizmetine sunduk. Takriben 480.000 dekar araziyi sulamaya açarak yıllık 676 milyon TL zirai gelir artışı sağladık. 92 dere ıslahı gerçekleştirerek; Aydın şehir merkezi, 112 yerleşim yeri ve 95.000 dekar araziyi taşkın zararlarından koruduk".`AYDIN'IN 141 YILLIK HAYALİNİ GERÇEKLEŞTİRDİK´"Aydınlıların 141 yıl önce 1869 yılında Sultan Abdülaziz'e ilettikleri hayallerini Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımız Recep Tayyip Erdoğan'ın liderliğinde AK Parti olarak biz gerçekleştirdik" diyen Eroğlu açıklamasını söyle sürdürdü:"İnşa ettiğimiz barajlardan biri de ülkemizin ve dünyanın sayılı barajlarından `Çine Adnan Menderes Barajı´. Sulama ve enerji üretimine faydası olan bu baraj, aynı zamanda yıllık 180 milyon TL taşkın zararını da önlemektedir. 10.10.2010 tarihinde, Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımız, Başbakanlığı döneminde 110 dev eserle birlikte bu tesisi, bizzat yerinde hizmete almış ve demokrasi şehidimiz Rahmetli Adnan Menderesin adını yaşatmak için barajın ismi `Çine Adnan Menderes Barajı´ olarak değiştirilmiştir. Aydın'a kazandırdığımız barajlardan biri de `Gökbel Barajı´dır. Bu baraj, çok önemli bir proje olup Çine Ovası´nda ve Koçarlı´da 215.840 dekar münbit araziyi, sulayacaktır. Daha önce, sulanacak bu alanın terfi ile sulanması söz konusuydu. Bu durum çiftçilerimize ilave maliyet getirecekti. Ben araziyi bilen, inceleyen biri olarak projeyi yerinde incelemiştim ve araziyi cazibeyle sulayacak bir barajı planladık. Gökbel Barajı´nın yapılması kararlaştırıldı. Bu barajın sağlayacağı faydayı hesap ederek bu barajın inşa edilmesi talimatını vermiştim. Gökbel Barajı ve Koçarlı Mağarası Sulaması 1. Kısımda bulunan 31,5 km iletim hattı tamamlanmıştır".`AYDIN'IN 2050 YILINA KADAR İÇMESUYU HAZIR´Bölgeye kazandırılan tesislerle ile Aydın'ın 2050 yılına kadar su sorunu yaşamayacağını ifade eden Prof. Dr. Veysel Eroğlu, "Aydın'a kazandırdığımız daha pek çok baraj, gölet ve sulama tesisi var. Ancak içinde bulunduğumuz kısmi kuraklık sebebiyle şehre kazandırdığımız içme suyu çalışmaları ön plana çıkmaktadır. Aydın, turizm ve ziraatın birlikte olduğu bir il olması sebebiyle özellikle son 18 yılda büyüdü ve gelişti. Aydın şehir merkezinin nüfusu, takriben 300.000'dir. Şehrin nüfusu arttıkça içme, kullanma ve sanayi suyu ihtiyacı da arttı. İktidara geldiğimizde Aydın'ın içme suyu ihtiyacı, yeraltı kuyularından karşılanıyordu. Ancak su sıkıntısı baş göstermeye başlamıştı. Şehrin nüfusunun artmasıyla birlikte Aydın'a yeni su kaynakları getirmek gerekiyordu. Hazırlamış olduğumuz `İçme suyu Eylem Planı´ ile Aydın'ın mevcut nüfusunu ve içme suyu kaynakları ile gelecekteki muhtemel nüfusunu dikkate alarak detaylı bir çalışma gerçekleştirdik. Aydın'ın içme suyu meselesini kökünden çözecek olan proje `İkizdere Barajı'nın inşa edilmesiydi. 1998 yılında temeli atılmasına rağmen 2003 yılına kadar barajın sadece %18'i tamamlanmıştı. O dönem, Başbakan olan Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımız Recep Tayyip Erdoğan´ın desteği ile İkizdere Barajı´nın ödeneklerini artırdık, inşaat çalışmalarını hızlandırdık. İkizdere Barajı, İncirliova ilçesinin 5 km kuzeyinde İkizdere Çayı üzerinde inşa edilmiştir. Aydın'a ve burada yaşayan aziz kardeşlerimize olan muhabbetim sebebiyle projeyi bizzat takip ettim. Yapılan muazzam çalışmalar neticesinde baraj inşaatını tamamlayarak 14.05.2010 tarihinde su tutma çalışmalarına başlanmıştı. 05.08.2010 tarihinde, O dönem Başbakan olan Sayın Cumhurbaşkanımız Aydın'a verdiği özel önemden dolayı, barajın açılışına bizzat katılmıştı ve tesisi hizmete almıştık. İkizdere Barajı, 113 metre yüksekliğinde olup, 195 milyon m3 su biriktirme hacmine sahiptir. İkizdere Barajı´yla birlikte üç kısım halinde inşa ettiğimiz takriben 75 km isale hattı, terfi merkezi ve günlük kapasitesi 65.000 m3 olan içme suyu ileri arıtma tesisi hizmete alınmıştır. Netice olarak İkizdere Barajı ve Tabakhane Deresi´nden alınan su ile inşa ettiğimiz regülatör, terfi merkezleri, isale hattı ve modern içme suyu arıtma tesisiyle Aydın şehir merkezi ile 30 yerleşim yerinin 2050 yılına kadar takriben 585.000 kişinin içme, kullanma ve sanayi suyu ihtiyacı karşılanmıştır" dedi.`SU; BİLGİ, TECRÜBE VE AŞKLA YÖNETİLİR´Aydın şehir merkezinin yanı sıra ilçelerinin de içme suyu, ihtiyacını karşılamaya yönelik projeleri gerçekleştirdiklerini hatırlatan Eroğlu açıklamasında suyun yönetiminin kolay olmadığını hatırlattı. Eroğlu, suyun hata kabul etmeyeceğini bu nedenle bilgi, tecrübe, aşk ve heyecanla çalışmak gerektiğini söyledi. Aydın ve ilçelerine yönelik yaptıkları yatırımlarla ilgili Eroğlu, "Koçarlı ilçesinin içme suyu ihtiyacını inşa ettiğimiz 13,5 km isale hattı ve terfi merkezi ile İkizdere Barajı ve Tabakhane Deresinden karşıladık. Aydın'ın en büyük ilçelerinden Nazilli, Kuyucak, Buharkent ve bu yerleşim yerlerine bağlı 10 adet yerleşim yerinin 2050 yılına kadar olan içme suyu ihtiyacını, 2012 yılında hizmete aldığımız Karacasu Dandalaz Barajı ile karşılamak için muazzam bir proje geliştirdik. 16.03.2018 tarihindeki temel atma merasimine bizzat katıldığım proje ile Karacasu Dandalaz Barajı'ndan alınacak suyu 95,3 km uzunluğunda isale hattı, günlük kapasitesi 45.000 m3 olan ileri içme suyu arıtma tesisi, 9 adet içme suyu haznesi ve 3 adet terfi merkezi ile yerleşim yerlerine iletilecektir. Çalışmaların devam ettiği bu tesislerle Nazilli, Kuyucak, Buharkent ve bu yerleşim yerlerine bağlı 10 adet yerleşim yerinin 2050 yılına kadar takriben 235.000 nüfusa yetecek içme ve kullanma suyu temin edilecektir. Ayrıca sahil bölgesinde bulunan Kuşadası, Söke ilçeleri ile Davutlar ve Güzelçamlı yerleşim yerlerinin içme suyu ihtiyacını karşılamak için Sarıçay Barajı´nı projelendirdik. Çok uzun süre önce projelerini tamamlamamıza rağmen Aydın Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanının `DSİ'ye gerek yok, biz bu barajı Belediye olarak kendimiz yaparız´ diye söylemesi sebebiyle inşaatına başlamamıştık. Ancak Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyesi´nin Sarıçay Barajı´nı inşa edemeyeceği anlaşılınca, Aydın Milletvekillerimizin ve vatandaşlarımızın talebi üzerine DSİ tarafından Sarıçay Barajı´nın inşaat ihalesi yapıldı. Ardından da çalışmalarına başlanmıştır. Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyesi, şayet DSİ'yi oyalamasaydı bu proje, çoktan tamamlanarak hizmete alınacaktı. Sarıçay Barajı da tamamlanınca Aydın'ın tamamının içme suyu meselesi çözülmüş olacaktır. Biz Aydın için gereken bütün içme suyu tesislerini inşa ettik. Bundan sonra Büyükşehir Belediyesinin kayıp kaçakların azaltılması, eksik şebekelerin yenilenmesi ve iyi bir su yönetimi yapması büyük ehemmiyet arz etmektedir. Suyun yönetimi, kolay değildir. Hiçbir şekilde hata kabul etmez. Bilgi, tecrübe, aşk ve heyecan gerektirir. Bugüne kadar Allah'a şükür Aydın'ımızı susuz bırakmadık" ifadelerini kullandı.

The partner of late actress Tanya Roberts has revealed he passed out after learning that his wife, who starred as a famous Bond girl, had died in a Los Angeles hospital
Tanya Roberts' heartbroken partner has described the moment he found out that his wife had passed away earlier this week.
Lance O'Brien said the former James Bond love interest had been admitted to hospital after falling ill before doctors said she was on the mend.
Shortly after being updated by the medical team, Lance was informed that the actress - who was 65 at the time of her death - had been rushed to the intensive care unite at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Lance said that he "collapsed" moments after leaving Tanya's side after she had been put on a ventilator.
The former actress and model was confirmed dead prematurely by her agent, who later confirmed she died several hours later.
He added that when he saw his love, she opened her eyes but doctors claimed this was just a reflex movement.
Tanya died shortly after, with Lance still close to her, he said he gasped for air before collapsing after leaving her hospital room.
He said: "It was early in the morning, six o'clock in the morning, and they go 'OK she's getting better, we gave her some blood sugar because her sugar was low and she's responding.'
"So I figure this is going to be a short-lived event, next thing I know she's going to the hospital in the emergency, you can't visit her, you can't talk to her because she's on a ventilator," reports The Mirror.
He added: "I haven't been able to see her, they let me go see her two days ago, Sunday or whatever, and I go down there.
"She got up a few times, opened her eyes, those beautiful eyes, she's responding, she's responding, she's responding, and they told me that was just a reflex.
"Then about 90 seconds later her eyes rolled back in her head and she was out and I was just beside myself.
"I got back into the elevator, I didn't know where I was at."
Recalling the devastating moment, Lance continued: "My gasping, I was upset, my gasping.
"I just said goodbye to Tanya. That was it, I just passed out."
Tanya was out walking her dogs on December 23, when she collapsed following intestinal pain and breathing difficulties.
Her representative had said that she had died on Monday but later retracted the statement, saying she was still alive in the intensive care unit, before later confirming she had then passed away.
During her career, Tanya posed for Playboy as well as starring alongside Roger Moore in the 1958 James Bond film, A View to a Kill, as Stacey Sutton.
She also starred in Charlie's Angels between 1980 and 1981.

With Premier League clubs linked with top players from all over Europe now that the January window is open, Daily Star rates and slates the transfer gossip
The January transfer window is finally open, and the rumour mill has been cranked into overdrive.
Arsenal are expected to make signings this month, but outgoings are also in the offing, with a big question over the future of outcast Mesut Ozil.
Chelsea could spend big again and continue to be linked with West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, while Liverpool need a centre-half but are also said to be admirers of Kylian Mbappe.
Manchester United are another team who could benefit from defensive reinforcements - while Ole Trafford continues to be viewed as a potential destination for attacking stars like Jack Grealish, Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland.
Here, Daily Star Sport rates and slates the biggest transfer rumours.
Mesut Ozil has been tipped to join Fenerbahce this month - but they are far from the only club linked with the Arsenal outcast.
There have also been reports that Ozil has been offered to Juventus, and it has been claimed the midfielder is in talks over a potential move to Major League Soccer side DC United.
But Ozil has family links in Turkey, and recently posted a picture of himself in Istanbul - although it was not clear when the photograph was taken.
Daily Star says: 7/10 - It is clear Ozil has no future at Arsenal with Emile Smith Rowe having stepped up, and Fenerbahce appears to be a likely destination.
Jack Grealish has long been linked with Manchester United - and Rio Ferdinand has told his former club to sign the Aston Villa star.
Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE, he said: "I don’t care if Pogba goes or not, Grealish is my man.
"If I am a manager of a top team in England, a top three or four team, then I would not allow him to stay there, I would go and take him."
Daily Star says: 6/10 - While Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is believed to be a prioritising a right-sided attacker, if Pogba were to leave, Grealish would be an exciting replacement.
Declan Rice is reported to be Frank Lampard's top transfer target in the January transfer window.
But Chelsea will have to pay big to land the midfielder, with West Ham having set a £73million price tag last summer.
TalkSPORT has claimed Chelsea must offload Danny Drinkwater, Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso and Willy Caballero in order to fund a move for Rice.
Daily Star says: 5/10 - Rice appears destined to end up at Chelsea - but it seems unlikely West Ham will sell in the January window
Liverpool continue to be touted as potential rivals to Real Madrid for Kylian Mbappe's signature.
But Reds legend John Barnes says his former side don't need the £200million-rated PSG star.
Speaking to BonusCodeBets.co.uk , Barnes said: “Mbappe is a fantastic player but forward areas are not a position that Liverpool need strengthening in - but if he can play centre-back they should get him in January!"
Daily Star says: 4/10 - Spending that kind of money is not Liverpool's style - as the inspired summer signing of Diogo Jota showed.

Önceki dönem Tarım ve Orman Bakanı Veysel Eroğlu, Aydın ile gönül bağı olduğunu ifade ederek, “Aydın’ın su yatırımları ile bizzat ilgilendim” dedi. Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı tarafından Aydın genelinde gerçekleştirilen yatırımlar ile ilgili açıklamada bulunan önceki dönem Tarım ve Orman Bakanı Veysel Eroğlu, “Aydın’ın 141 yıllık hayalini biz gerçekleştirdik” dedi. Aydın için gereken bütün içme suyu tesislerini inşa ettiklerini hatırlatan Eroğlu, Sarıçay Barajı’nın da tamamlanması ile birlikte Aydın’da içme suyu sorununun kalmayacağını da belirtti. Aydın ile gönül bağı olduğunu ifade eden Eroğlu, açıklamasında “Türkiye’nin gelişmesinde ve kalkınmasında büyük hizmetleri olan, demokrasi şehidimiz Rahmetli Başvekil Adnan Menderes’in aziz hatırasını yaşatmak ve çalışkan, misafirperver Aydınlı hemşehrilerimizin içme suyu ihtiyacını karşılamak için büyük yatırımlar yaptık.

Aydın’ın en büyük ilçelerinden Nazilli, Kuyucak, Buharkent ve bu yerleşim yerlerine bağlı 10 adet yerleşim yerinin 2050 yılına kadar olan içme suyu ihtiyacını, 2012 yılında hizmete aldığımız Karacasu Dandalaz Barajı ile karşılamak için muazzam bir proje geliştirdik. Karacasu Dandalaz Barajı’ndan alınacak suyu 95,3 km uzunluğunda isale hattı, günlük kapasitesi 45.000 m3 olan ileri içmesuyu arıtma tesisi, 9 adet içme suyu haznesi ve 3 adet terfi merkezi ile yerleşim yerlerine iletilecektir. Çalışmaların devam ettiği bu tesislerle Nazilli, Kuyucak, Buharkent ve bu yerleşim yerlerine bağlı 10 adet yerleşim yerinin 2050 yılına kadar takriben 235.000 nüfusa yetecek içme ve kullanma suyu temin edilecektir” dedi. “Aydın’ı susuz bırakmadık” Söke’de yapımı devam eden ve birçok polemiğe sebep olan Sarıçay Barajı ile ilgili de açıklamalarda bulunan Eroğlu; “Ayrıca sahil bölgesinde bulunan Kuşadası, Söke ilçeleri ile Davutlar ve Güzelçamlı yerleşim yerlerinin içme suyu ihtiyacını karşılamak için Sarıçay Barajını projelendirdik. Çok uzun süre önce projelerini tamamlamamıza rağmen Aydın Büyükşehir Belediye Başkanının ‘DSİ’ye gerek yok, biz bu barajı Belediye olarak kendimiz yaparız’ diye söylemesi sebebiyle inşaatına başlamamıştık. Ancak Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyesinin Sarıçay Barajını inşa edemeyeceği anlaşılınca, Aydın Milletvekillerimizin ve vatandaşlarımızın talebi üzerine DSİ tarafından Sarıçay Barajının inşaat ihalesi yapılarak çalışmalarına başlamıştır. Aydın Büyükşehir Belediyesi, şayet DSİ’yi oyalamasaydı bu proje çoktan tamamlanarak hizmete alınacaktı. Sarıçay Barajı da tamamlanınca Aydın’ın tamamının içmesuyu meselesi çözülmüş olacaktır. Biz Aydın için gereken bütün içmesuyu tesislerini inşa ettik. Bundan sonra Büyükşehir Belediyesinin kayıp kaçakların azaltılması, eksik şebekelerin yenilenmesi ve iyi bir su yönetimi yapması büyük ehemmiyet arz etmektedir. Suyun yönetimi kolay değildir. Hiçbir şekilde hata kabul etmez. Bilgi, tecrübe, aşk ve heyecan gerektirir. Bugüne kadar Allah’a şükür Aydın’ımızı susuz bırakmadık” dedi.

Pandemi döneminde de zeytin yaprağı çayı çok öne çıktı. Bunun için hasat sırasında mola verdiğimizde de çay yerine zeytin yaprağı çayı içiyoruz. Bunu biz evlerimizde de yapıyoruz. Ama, son zamanlarda tarlalarda zeytin yaprağı çayı içenlerin sayısı arttı. Bunun faydasına inanıyoruz. Zeytinin meyvesi de, yaprağı da şifa kaynağı. Zeytin yaprağı çayı sayesinde çay masrafımız da azaldı” dedi.

Spor yorumcusu Erman Toroğlu'nun Marius Sumudica'yı eleştirirken kullandığı ifadelere Balıkesir’de yaşayan Romanlar büyük tepki gösterdi.Atatürk Anıtı’nda bir araya gelen Roman vatandaşlar saygı duruşunda bulunup İstiklal Marşı’nı okuyarak Roman vatandaşlara söylenen sözün ırkçılıkla eşdeğer olduğunu dile getirdi. Balıkesirli Roman vatandaşlar Türk Bayrağı ile birlikte yaptıkları basın açıklamasında Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşı olduklarını bir kez daha haykırdılar. Balıkesir’de Roman vatandaşları temsil eden derneklerin yönetici ve temsilcileriyle Roman vatandaşların katıldığı basın toplantısında Spor Yorumcusu Erman Toroğlu’na büyük tepki vardı. Meclis Üyesi Sadettin Altın: “Biz Türk oğlu Türk’üz” Basın açıklamasında ilk olarak Altıeylül Belediye Meclis Üyesi Sadettin Altın söz alarak Toroğlu’nu kınadı. Altın, “Türk, Kürt, Laz, Çerkes hep birlikte bir arada yaşayabiliyoruz, ne mutlu. Ben de bir Roman çocuğu olarak bu devletin küçük de olsa bir bünyesindeki görevde yer almaktayım. Bu ırkçılık ayrımını yapan, bu kişinin ismini de anmak istemiyorum ve bu kişileri lanetliyorum. Bu insanları ayırmasınlar, insanları bölücülüğe sürüklemesinler. Biz bölücülüğü istemiyoruz. Biz Türk oğlu Türk’üz ve bu vatanda yaşıyoruz. Ne mutlu Türk’üm diyene” diye konuştu. Volkan Çekmeoğlu: “Beyazın siyaha, siyahın beyaza üstünlüğü yoktur” Balıkesir Genç Müzisyenler Derneği Başkanı Volkan Çekmeoğlu da Romanların ırkçılığa karşı olduklarını ifade ederek, “Beyazın siyaha, siyahın beyaza üstünlüğü yoktur. Topraktan geldik toprağa gideceğiz. Ben de bir Roman çocuğu olarak kesinlikle ve kesinlikle ırk ayrımcılığı yapılmasını istemiyorum ve yapanlara da karşıyım” dedi. İsmail Kandıralı: “Çocuklarımın yüzüne bakamadım” Balıkesir Müzisyenler ve Ramazan Davulcuları Derneği Başkanı İsmail Kandıralı ise kendilerine yönelik “çingene” söyleminde bulunan Toroğlu’na tepkisini gösterirken gözyaşlarını tutamadı. Kandıralı, “Bize destek vermek için yanımızda olan tüm siyasi partileri burada gördük. Ama biz ayrımcılık yapmayalım diyoruz ve buraya herkesi çağırdık. Biz isterdik ki her siyasi parti burada olsun. Biz siyasi parti ayırt edemeyiz. Çünkü biz Roman vatandaşlarız. Hani 'çingeneler' derler ya, biz çingene değiliz. Çingenenin araştırın yeri, yurdu olmaz. Yeri, yurdu olmayan insanın da hiçbir şekilde bu toplumda yeri olmaz. Biz bu toplumda her şekilde gönüllerde bir yer kazanmış bireyleriz. Ben Büyükşehir Belediyesi’nde çalışıyorum yıllardan beri. Hiçbir şekilde hakir görülmedim. Arkadaşlarım da öyle; düğünlere gittik, Ramazan davulları çaldık. Her şekilde herkesin gönlünü yapmaya çalıştık ve yapıyoruz da. Ama eski hakem Erman Toroğlu’nun kalkıp bize bu ibareyi kullanması bizi derinden üzdü. Ben akşam çocuklarımın yüzüne bakamadım. Sinirden ağladım. Bizim için bu büyük bir hakarettir. Bir futbolcu Vebo’ya yapılanlardan sonra dünya ayağa kalktı. Biz kimseyi galeyana getirmiyoruz, biz kimseye gaz vermiyoruz. Ama sadece Balıkesir’de, Türkiye’de değil dünyada biz yaşıyorsak, bizim haklarımızı da savunmak için herkesin yanımızda olmasını istiyoruz. Çünkü biz ırkçılığa karşıyız, ırkçılık yapan insanı da sevmiyoruz. Çok doluyuz, ağlamak istiyorum. Çünkü ben çocuklarımızın yüzüne bakamadım. Çocuğum 'adam çıktı, bugün birisi, yarın başka birisi söyleyecek bunu, çingene diyecek' diyor. Neden biz bu hakareti işitiyoruz neden? Neden benim çocuklarım bana bunu söylüyor? Yarın bir gün ben öldüğüm zaman veya başka bir arkadaşımın çocuğuna 'çingenenin çocuğu' mu desinler? Ben bunları hak etmiyorum, biz bunları hak etmiyoruz. Biz buradan her şekilde haykırıyoruz: Biz Türkiye vatandaşıyız, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ibaresi kullanıyoruz” ifadelerini kullandı. Yunus Barlin: "Toroğlu’nu kınıyorum" İşadamı Yunus Barlin de Erman Toroğlu’nu televizyon kanallarında görmek istemediklerini kaydederek, “Ben de Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nde Roman kökenli bir vatandaşım. Esnafım, iş adamıyım. Müzisyenlik bizim geçimimiz. Ama Romanlar içinde çok esnaf, iş adamı, hali vakti düzgün çok insan var. Gelene, gidene yardımcı olanlar, dininde, ibadetinde çok Roman’ımız var. Ben de bunlara çok üzüldüm. Biz atalarımızdan beri vatan, millet ve bayrağı için mücadele eden Roman kökenli insanlarız. Ben de Erman Toroğlu ve A Spor’u kınıyorum. Bundan sonra A Spor’da Erman Toroğlu’nu görmek istemiyoruz” diye konuştu. Fikret Demirdöven: “Dedem Çanakkale’de şehit düştü” Fikret Demirdöven ise dedesinin Çanakkale Savaşı’nda şehit olduğuna vurgu yaparak hakaretlere maruz kalmaktan duyduğu üzüntüyü dile getirdi. Demirdöven, “Tabi ki ırkçılık dünyanın neresine giderseniz gidin iyi bir şey değil. Bu dünyanın başka bir yerinde yapılmış olsaydı bu şiddetle ülkece kınanırdı. Ama şu anda yapılan eylemde bakıyoruz ki maalesef hiç kimse elini kıpırdatmıyor. Arkadaşın dediği gibi topraktan geldik, toprağa gideceğiz. İlk ırkçılığı yapan iblistir. Biz ayrım istemiyoruz. Biz birlik istiyoruz, bu ülkenin vatandaşlarıyız ve benim dedemin mezarı bile yok. Dedem Çanakkale’de şehit düştü. Yani herkes duyarlı olsun” diye konuştu. Ahmet Gezer: “TV’lerde görmek istemiyoruz” Akıncılar Roman Kültürü Yardımlaşma ve Dayanışma Derneği Başkanı Ahmet Gezer de son olarak Toroğlu’na tepki göstererek, “1933 iskan yasası değiştikten sonra bu şekildeki söylemler bizi çok rahatsız etti. Bu davayı başlatıyoruz. Allah kısmet ederse bir zamanlar Alevi kardeşlerimize yapılan bir mevzuattan dolayı biz de bu arkadaşımıza bunu yapıyoruz. Bu arkadaşı da TV’lerde görmek istemiyoruz” dedi. Balıkesirli Romanlar basın açıklamasının sonunda da yine İstiklal Marşı’nı hep bir ağızdan okuyarak dağıldı.

Manchester City's improvement down to less running, says Guardiola

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City’s stuttering early-season results were down to his unclear message and their recent stellar form is because players now understand they have to “run less” when the team are in possession.
Since drawing with West Brom on 15 December City have won six consecutive games, and their unbeaten run stands at 13 in all competitions since a 2-0 defeat by Tottenham on 21 November. City have reached the Carabao Cup final for a fourth year running and are four points behind Liverpool but with two matches in hand, the first of which is the visit of Brighton on Wednesday.
Guardiola was asked how he has improved results. “The only difference is that we run less – we were running too much,” the manager said. “Without the ball you have to run. But with the football you have to walk, or run much less: stay more in position and let the ball run, not you. That’s improved in these [unbeaten] games.
“From day one we had lost it a bit – [this is] my fault. We didn’t play well in the beginning to deserve to be up there [among the leaders]. We dropped points to West Brom and West Ham away. The message was not clear but we came back with the principles we need. Also, the players need time to get the best condition after no pre-season, and it’s normal that after good results and performances they can visualise again the way we did it in the past.”
Guardiola was asked what was his biggest adaptation in five years of managing City. “To the players we have. The most important thing is to know your players.” He said he learned to do this when in charge of Bayern Munich, from 2013 to 2016, which followed a glittering four-year tenure at Barcelona.
“At Munich, in the first month more or less I wanted to play similar to Barça,” Guardiola said. “But I woke up one day and said: ‘I have to adapt the players.’ So, we did it. This is the most important thing for a manager, no matter what club you are at.”
A further City first-team squad member, Adrián Bernabé, is isolating after being considered a close contact of Eric García, who tested positive for Covid more than a week ago.

【質問】中学硬式のキャッチャーで４番です。高校では甲子園出場を目指しています。これまではバッティング中心でしたが、守備も練習したいので、やるべきことを教えてください。 （横浜市旭区 Ｃ君＝中３）
【答え】キャッチャーはグラウンドでは監督の代行と言われるほど重要なポジションです。あらゆる技術を習得するのはもちろん、チームメートから信頼されるキャッチャーを目指してください。覚えることはたくさんありますが、何と言ってもまずキャッチング（捕球術）です。
全ての投球をミットの芯で捕り、いい音を出すと投手が調子に乗ります。どんな球でもしっかり止めると、ピッチャーが安心して投げることができます。キャッチングのうまい、下手、が試合を左右することが少なくないというのはそういうことです。盗塁阻止もキャッチングにかかっているといって過言ではありません。強肩はもちろん条件の一つですが、ミットの芯で捕れば、スムーズに右手でボールをつかんで素早く、そして正確に二塁へ送球をすることができます。
ミットが投球に負けないようにと力みすぎて前に出しすぎると、ミットがぶれてしまいます。気を付けることは（１）ボールをつかみにいかない（２）腕が伸び切らない（３）脇を締める（４）ミットが体の中心を向くように捕る−などです。球威に負けないだけの腕力も付けてください。プロの捕手が一人前と呼ばれるのは何万球も捕球をしてからといいますが、それくらい球数を受けないとミットを自由に使えるようにならないのです。（慶大野球部元監督）

Balıkesir’in Burhaniye Belediye Başkanı Ali Kemal Deveciler, Burhaniye’nin en büyük parkını halkla buluşturuyor. “Özgürlük Parkı” ismini alan park, Öğretmenler mahallesi plajında denize sıfır olarak 12 bin m2 alan üzerinde yapılıyor. Daha önce CHP Genel Başkanı Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu’nun açılışını yaptığı Demokrasi Parkı’nın rekorunu kıran Özgürlük Parkı Burhaniye’nin en büyük parkı olarak hizmete vermeye başlayacak. Tüm çalışmaların tüm hızıyla devam ettiği parkın ismi ise, Ocak ayında Belediye meclis üyelerinin oy birliği ile konuldu. Belediye Başkanı Ali Kemal Deveciler’in önerdiği “Özgürlük Parkı” ismin de uzlaşan meclis üyeleri parkın ismini oy birliği ile kabul etti. Tamamlanmasına kısa süre kalan “Özgürlük Parkı” Sunar sitesi ile deniz arasında yer alıyor. Yaklaşık 12 bin m2 yeşil alandan oluşan parkın içerisine bir adet kafe, yürüyüş ve dinlence alanlarının yanı sıra seyir alanları bulunuyor. Genel anlamda her kesimin kullanımı için düşünülen oyun gurupları, spor alanları ve Banklarla donatılan parkın en önemli özelliği ise Burhaniye hiç kullanılmamış endemik bitkilerin yaşaması. Otomatik sulama sistemiyle döşenen parkta, palmiye, çam başta olmak üzere bin 380 adet ağaç ve bitkinin yanı sıra içerisinde ponza taşlarından oluşan kaya bahçesi de yer alıyor. Hemen önünde bulunan dalga kıranın da yürüyüş ve keyif alanı olarak düzenlendiği parkın aydınlatma sistemleri de son teknoloji led ışıklarla donatıldı. Bağlantı yollarıyla birlikte yürüyüş ve sporseverlerin uğrak yeri olması planlanan parkın çimleri de geçtiğimiz günlerde serilerek yeşil görünümüne kavuşturuldu.

Lanre Bakare
Christmas 1995 was one to forget. I was ill and mostly confined to the sofa, trying to keep down mince pies as my big sister made her way through the VHS release of Andrew Davies’ Pride and Prejudice. A few years earlier, I had been subjected to the Julian Amyes version of Jane Eyre starring Timothy Dalton, but at least that was weirdly gothic and unintentionally hilarious; this was another level.
Pemberley, Mr Bingley, Jennifer Ehle with her bonnet, Colin Firth in a pond. For an 11-year-old who liked WWF and Rage Against the Machine, it was like water torture. The experience put me off costume dramas and Austen for years. Any sign of buttoned-down, stiff-upper-lip, no-sex-we’re-British Regency nonsense was anathema to me.
Then, 25 years later, Bridgerton turned up on Christmas Day. Unapologetically daft, it luxuriates in playing with the form and conventions of costume dramas, instilling them with modern storytelling chops and the sort of overblown production I last saw in Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. It sees the Regency period through American eyes, highlighting the things that people like most about British aristocratic tropes: the grandeur, the pomp and the gilded cages. The repressed sexuality is still on show, but it is countered by unapologetically rampant bonking and homoerotic boxing.
But the show is about far more than sex and siring heirs. Bridgerton even managed to make me interested in the logistical problems of 19th-century aristocrats. How do you cope when you have wasted your daughters’ dowry on ill-advised wagers? Why do the townsfolk recoil in horror when m’lady refuses to choose a pig for the slaughter? What about hiding the tell-tale bump of a forthcoming illegitimate child when you have a ball to attend? One of the best scenes is when Daphne confronts her mother after she doesn’t tell her about the intricacies of the birds and the bees. Yes, that sounds utterly ridiculous when written down, but the Shondaland framing manages to make it compelling.
I don’t think I will be reaching for the Pride and Prejudice VHS any time soon, but Bridgerton has made me – and probably thousands of others – reconsider what a costume drama can be.
Jenny Stevens
Bridgerton is a romp – in all senses of the word. Take the very first scene, where the debutante Daphne waits to be escorted to London by her brother, while we see him pants-at-knees humping an opera singer against a tree. It is an impressive amount of bottom in the first three minutes – you didn’t get this in Cranford, but then nor did you get an orchestral reimagining of Ariana Grande as a soundtrack.
And so begins this very modern period drama; a romantic rollick set in 1813 London that feels eerily prescient to contemporary pandemic Britain. It is courting season on Grosvenor Square, where “titled, chaste and innocent” girls flounce into the capital to find – or be thrust upon, or laden down with – a respectable male suitor. Potential matches meet with chaperones, often in public spaces, and touching is strictly forbidden. It is not exactly the same as illicitly meeting up with a Hinge or Tinder match and pretending to do “exercise” around the local park, but nor does it feel so very far removed. It made me wonder whether, in 2227, viewers will watch London’s singletons, in knockoff Moncler duvet coats with woolly hats and Thermoses, endure socially distanced park-bench dates while hoping for a sneaky touch on the arm, in a period drama about the great pandemic courting season of 2020/21.
Shonda Rhimes, the Bridgerton producer, has quenched a thirst in bleak times, not just for a bit of fluff, pomp and drama to soothe tired new year minds, but for the recognition that chastity is very hard, strict social rules make people miserable and that some people will inevitably break them – especially the moneyed and powerful. She has also managed to balance the audience’s gaze on the male and female body equally. It is rare to find on-screen depictions of sex where the men are as unclothed as the women. Here, there are more male tops off than the 1994 Take That European tour; it takes a bit of time to adjust to seeing the Viscount Bridgerton fully dressed.
And so as lockdown continues and the absence of touch is felt even more cruelly, Bridgerton – with its circus of secret trysts, gossip and drama – is a perfect balm for those at home, alone, with a long winter ahead.
Poppy Noor
I have a rule about TV. If there are no people of colour in a show, I try not to watch. However, this rule, despite its many benefits – I watch less TV than I otherwise would and have an excuse for refusing to watch many of Judd Apatow’s films – has confused me into thinking I didn’t like period dramas.
I now realise this is untrue. Bridgerton has taught me that I do like period dramas – I was just put off by the near-total whiteness. Period dramas are supposed to speak to all women – thanks to the supposedly universal themes of women being treated like a doormats. But as the Guardian TV critic Ellen E Jones wrote, while talking about Fleabag: “Art that’s most often ascribed this kind of universality actually comes from the specific perspective of the dominant class. ‘Posh girls’, for short.” To this I would add only that this almost always means “posh white girls”, so you’ll understand why I didn’t vibe with period dramas before now.
But who can resist the themes of scandal, betrayal and stupid men? In Bridgerton, these three things are cleverly combined with an element of mystery: a gossip columnist called Lady Whistledown informs high-society London (AKA “the ton”) of all three, by mail every week – and of course everyone, the viewers included, want to know who she is.
Brown people have been around in England for a while (Cheddar man, anyone?). Yet TV and film have long been happy to whitewash not just history, but also fiction – see the endless debates about whether fictional characters can be played by a person of colour (eg James Bond) and the lack of shame around casting white actors as brown people (see Ridley Scott’s Exodus: Gods and Kings).
To say Bridgerton is the height of representation would be silly – the characters of colour are not treated well and have little agency. The Duke of Hastings is tricked by his wife, first into marrying her, then into having unprotected sex with her – which some critics have called sexual assault (a more clearcut theme in the book than the TV version). He does not want children (telling her, before they are married, that he “cannot” have them), but she then wields the power of the dictionary to fight this, insisting she had misconstrued his words and thought he was impotent. “Cannot is different to will not!” she proclaims.
Marina Thompson, meanwhile, the beautiful black woman sent to live with the unremarkable Featheringtons, is subject to scorn, jealousy and ultimately revenge for being desirable. Queen Charlotte, played by an actor of colour in a nod to the conjecture that she may have been mixed race, pines for her mentally ill husband. (Others have pointed out that all the characters of colour who are love interests are light-skinned.) The only black character you don’t feel pity for is Lady Danbury, who, quite simply, is the role model you wish you had.
The show suggests that the king marrying a black woman removed racial inequalities in the 19th-century – which, well, you only have to look at what happened to Meghan and Harry in the 21st century to know that utopia hasn’t arrived. Race is rarely mentioned. Then again, justifying brown characters in a show by adding a bit about “people-of-colour issues” is not exactly revolutionary.
Bridgerton is watchable if ultimately predictable. If it were another show, I wouldn’t write about it. But to see people like me allowed to star in a genre that is usually cordoned off tricked me into exploring a world I never get to see on screen. I am not landed gentry or nobility, but I am a person of colour, and I have never, until this year, seen myself in a period drama (hats off to The Great, also). Perhaps the novelty will wear off, but to find novelty on TV in your 30s is an unadulterated joy.
Hannah J Davies
I loved Bridgerton. I loved all of its mindless Regency spectacle. At a time when politicians are arguing whether The Crown should come with a warning that it is not unfailingly factually accurate, Bridgerton unbridled itself from history – and made that debate seem stuffy and pointless. It took the Downton approach a step further, revelling in its anachronistic Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift string covers, Julie Andrews’ tattle-talking narrator and its diverse cast.
Like Gossip Girl – a 00s series getting the remake treatment – it is the kind of show you can consume while doing 100 other things or invest in fully to the detriment of your dinner (who cares about burnt fish fingers when you are pondering huge questions such as: “But will they? Or will they? And is she pregnant?!”).
Executive produced by Shonda “Scandal” Rhimes, the puffy-sleeved hit has received the same criticism as some of her previous series, specifically that its “colour-blind” casting doesn’t hit the mark on race. In truth, it doesn’t – but neither does most TV in 2020. That said, Bridgerton does feel two-dimensional when it comes to race, more concerned with visibility than reality. Indeed, the whole period drama industrial complex has much to do when it comes to moving white narratives from the spotlight; it is unfair to level all the criticism at one production and one creative of colour. Similarly, its portrayal of sex is rather “yikes” in places, but isn’t that more of a flaw of hundreds – or thousands – of years of patriarchal nonsense?
Period dramas are very much not my thing. I enjoyed the memes of Saoirse Ronan shouting “I can’t!” more than I enjoyed Greta Gerwig’s long-winded adaptation of Little Women. I have read one Jane Austen novel (and I can’t even remember which one). Even the words “Downton Abbey” are enough to elicit a cold sweat – and that is before considering how preposterous Julian Fellowes’ writing is. Maybe it is the lack of iPhones, maybe it is the fact that the word “corset” makes my chest hurt, but something about them makes me nauseous.All that said, Bridgerton is an undoubted success. It has heart. It has goodies and baddies getting their dues. It has Nicola Coughlan from Derry Girls. And, for once, it has made me excited to watch a show set before 2000, which really is a revision of history.

James Comey: Donald Trump should not be prosecuted after leaving office

Donald Trump should not be prosecuted once he leaves the White House no matter how much evidence has been amassed against him, the former FBI director James Comey writes in a new book.
The next US attorney general, under Joe Biden, should not “pursue a criminal investigation of Donald Trump”, Comey writes, “no matter how compelling the roadmap left” by the special counsel Robert Mueller, or “how powerful the evidence strewn across his history of porn stars and financial fraud”.
“Although those cases might be righteous in a vacuum,” Comey writes, “the mission of the next attorney general must be fostering the trust of the American people.”
That opinion is likely to surprise many – perhaps including Trump himself – as Comey has emerged as a powerful critic of Trump and has been the frequent target of threats and insults from the 45th president.
Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017, an act that prompted Mueller’s appointment to investigate Russian election interference and links between the president and Moscow.
Comey’s new book, Saving Justice: Truth, Transparency and Trust, is his second and will be published on 12 January. The Guardian obtained a copy.
The 60-year-old’s first book, A Higher Loyalty, was released in April 2018 and last year adapted for a two-part HBO film, The Comey Rule, starring Jeff Daniels as the author and Brendan Gleeson as Trump.
Comey’s high profile since leaving government has earned him as many critics as supporters and his new book will be closely examined. He writes that it is for “ordinary citizens, not legal experts or historians”, and is meant to be a guide to rebuilding institutions battered by Trump.
Biden will be inaugurated on 20 January but has not yet named his nominee for attorney general. The former deputy attorney general Sally Yates, who briefly led the department while Comey led the FBI and was also fired by Trump, is among reported frontrunners. So is the former Alabama senator Doug Jones.
In his new book, Comey revisits scenes from his first, from his early work on high-profile mafia cases to his handling of the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email use and his brief service under Trump, including his refusal to drop the investigation of Michael Flynn, Trump’s first national security adviser, over his own links to Russia.
Comey excoriates William Barr, Trump’s second attorney general, who ran interference over Mueller’s final report. Barr claimed Trump had been exonerated of obstruction of justice when he had not. He also sought to drop the case against Flynn for lying to the FBI before Trump pardoned his former aide anyway.
Comey does not think Flynn should be investigated further.
He writes that he doubts whether Trump should be pardoned by his successor, as was Richard Nixon, the president who resigned in disgrace over the Watergate scandal in 1974, by Gerald Ford.
Trump has reportedly considered issuing a pre-emptive pardon to himself. Whether he can do that is up for debate. Comey points to the 1915 supreme court ruling which says a presidential pardon amounts to a confession of guilt.
But he writes: “By pardoning a resigned president, Ford had held [Nixon] accountable in a way that Trump would not be, even where he to be pardoned after losing re-election. That might not be enough accountability in Trump’s case. Or it may be, especially if local prosecutors in New York charge Trump for a legacy of financial fraud.”
Presidential pardons do not touch state law. The Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus Vance, is investigating Trump’s financial affairs, including payments made during the 2016 campaign to women who claimed affairs, one of them the porn star Stormy Daniels. The New York attorney general, Letitia James, is investigating the Trump Organization.
Saving Justice was completed after Trump’s defeat by Biden. The president has refused to concede, a stance which led to the call last weekend in which Trump sought to have a Georgia official overturn the state’s result, an action that has prompted calls for criminal investigation or even a second impeachment.
Commending the example of Edward Levi, the law professor appointed attorney general by Ford after the trauma of Watergate, Comey says the next head of the US justice system must lift the department “above the partisan scrum”.
Comey laments Trump’s naked partisanship and lying but also that of notionally apolitical officials, most prominently including Barr, who resigned last month. The “traditional blindfold on Lady Justice”, Comey writes, has been “replaced with a MAGA hat”.
Advocating renewed transparency, he adds: “Whether or not our next president pardons Donald Trump, and whether or not the Department of Justice pursues him, the American people should be told why.”

Founded in 2018, Vessi is a Vancouver-based startup specializing in sneakers that are lightweight, breathable, and 100% waterproof.
Their shoes use a knit material called Dyma-tex, which allows heat and moisture in the form of sweat to escape, but prevents water from entering.
We tested them out to see if they lived up to the hype and demand. Spoiler: they absolutely did.

We tested them out to see if they lived up to the hype and demand. Spoiler: they absolutely did.
What makes Vessi's shoes different
Check out our full review of Vessi's sneaker lineup:
Vessi Everyday Sneaker
The Vessi Everyday Sneaker has all of the basic elements of a knit sneaker from a sportswear brand, which makes it very easy to wear regularly. I've worn my pair a handful of times in New York City, but luckily didn't come in contact with any rain or puddles. So, to put them to the test, I submerged them in a bucket of water and the inside stayed completely dry. I'm confident that the only way your feet would get wet while wearing these is if they were fully submerged and water made its way in from the top.
I think it's worth emphasizing that these are not just overpriced water shoes. Vessi sneakers are designed to keep water out, while water shoes typically welcome water. I probably wouldn't wear these in the snowy winter (I actually appreciate the bulkiness of boots when it's freezing cold outside), but I wouldn't hesitate to travel with these as my only pair of shoes for both walking and adventuring. — Amir Ismael, Insider Reviews reporter
Vessi Cityscape
I wore my Vessi sneakers on a trip to Austin, Texas with the knowledge that I was going to be exploring springs and pools. I wanted to pack light, so they were the only pair of shoes I brought, and I crossed my fingers that they would work as they said. They turned out to be a great travel shoe because they were as comfortable as regular sneakers, but as practical as rain boots. I stepped my entire foot into a pool and no water seeped in. As it rained the entire weekend, the shoes also repelled the water effectively. It's a major plus that the soft and cushioned shoes don't have an obnoxious or obvious waterproof design. — Connie Chen, Insider Reviews senior reporter
Vessi Everyday Slip On
The Vessi Everyday Slip On shoes are designed to function as lightweight, waterproof, versatile sneakers — and they deliver on all three. They held up well to New York City's brackish puddles without letting the water seep in, but they have great airflow despite the solid insulation. All in all, they'll stack up to expectations. Compared to the other two styles with laces, the Everyday Slip On is easy to put on and take off, and it's slightly less bulky. — Mara Leighton, Insider Reviews senior reporter
The bottom line
Vessi sneakers have become a cult favorite among travelers in need of versatile, waterproof shoes, but they're equally as popular among everyday comfort seekers who would rather rely on a single pair of shoes for all types of weather.

Congo, imboscata nel parco dei gorilla: uccisi sei ranger

KINSHASA - Un'altra strage nel santuario dei gorilla di montagna. Almeno sei ranger sono stati uccisi da un gruppo di uomini armati nel cuore del parco nella Repubblica Democratica del Congo. I guardiani sono caduti in un'imboscata mentre erano di pattuglia a piedi all'interno del parco. L'attacco è avvenuto nei pressi di Kabuendo, che si trova vicino al confine del parco, nel settore centrale, tra Nyamilima e Niamitwitwi. "Sono stati colti di sorpresa e non hanno avuto la possibilità di difendersi", scrive la direzione del parco in una nota. E aggiunge che i responsabili sono le milizie Mai- Mai, gruppo armati locali molto attivi durante la seconda guerra del Congo, che si muovono anche in base ad antichi rituali magici.
Statement from Virunga National Park following the fatal attack on Park Rangers today: https://t.co/P30dSCmLqJ— Virunga NationalPark (@gorillacd)
Sono decine le milizie che in questa regione combattono per appropriarsi delle risorse naturali del parco. Tra questi gruppi ribelli, oltre ai Mai-Mai, ci sono le Forze Democratiche per la Liberazione del Ruanda, Fdlr, un gruppo etnico hutu opposto al governo del Ruanda e una delle ultime fazioni di ribelli ruandesi attive in Congo. Sono quasi 200 i ranger ammazzati da quando il Virunga è diventato parco nazionale. Ad aprile dello scorso anno furono 12 i ranger a morire in un'imboscata.
Un ranger dopo la strage di Virunga: "Continuerò a proteggere il Parco dei gorilla anche se ci ammazzano" di RAFFAELLA SCUDERI 19 Maggio 2020
Il parco nazionale Virunga, patrimonio dell'Unesco dal 1979, misura 7.800 chilometri quadrati, e si estende dalle montagne Virunga a Sud, ai monti Rwenzori a Nord, al confine con i vulcani del parco nazionale in Ruanda e il parco nazionale delle montagne del Rwenzori e Parco nazionale Queen Elizabeth in Uganda. Istituito nel 1925, è il parco più antico del continente. Negli ultimi anni il bracconaggio e la guerra civile del Congo hanno gravemente danneggiato animali e vegetazione.
I ranger del Virunga sono in prima linea nella conservazione per la protezione della fauna, delle risorse naturali e delle comunità che vivono intorno al Parco. "Senza l'impegno di questi uomini e donne coraggiosi, Virunga non esisterebbe", recita il sito del parco.

Düsseldorf – Die ersten vorsichtigen Planungen für eine neue Normalität in Düsseldorf haben schon begonnen! Auch, wenn der Lockdown vorläufig weiter geht, haben Politiker und Veranstalter Hoffnung geschöpft, dass durch die Corona-Impfungen wieder etwas geht.
► Nachdem die „Rheinkirmes“ (normalerweise mehr als vier Millionen Besucher) wegen Corona ausfiel, laufen für nächsten Sommer (16. Juli bis 25. Juli) die Vorbereitungen bereits auf Hochtouren. Anders als je zuvor bereitet der „St. Sebastianus Schützenverein 1316“ als Ausrichter diesmal mehrere Konzepte vor. Je nach Corona-Entwicklung muss der Zugang reguliert oder der Abstand vergrößert werden. Schützen-Chef Lothar Inden (73): „Derzeit planen wir die Rheinkirmes so als würde sie ganz normal stattfinden. Wir arbeiten mehrere Szenarien aus.“
► Ganz weit voraus gedacht hat OB Stephan Keller (50, CDU). Er stößt jetzt schon die Diskussion über ein spektakuläres Zentral-Feuerwerk zum nächsten Jahreswechsel an! Keller sagt, dass dieses Silvester nicht so war, wie wir es feiern wollten. Aber es habe „auch einen guten Effekt“ gehabt: kaum Polizeieinsätze, kaum Feinstaub, keine Verletzten. Keller könne sich „ein zentrales Licht- oder Laserfeuerwerk oder auch eine Drohnen-Show über der ansonsten feuerwerksfreien Altstadt sehr gut vorstellen“, denkt dabei an Beispiele wie Shanghai oder Dubai.
► Damit vielleicht im Sommer erste Konzerte möglich sind, hat Düsseldorfs Event-Manager Michael Brill (51, D.Live) jetzt schon den Bauantrag für eine Open-Air-Bühne für 3000 Zuschauer neben der Arena gestellt. Brill: „Reine Vorsorge! Wenn wir sie nicht brauchen, weil wir schneller wieder normale Konzerte haben können, stoppen wir sie.“
Ob womöglich schon die Auftritte der Metal-Band „Rammstein“ (26. und 27. Juni) stattfinden können, sei noch ungewiss. Brill: „Aber die Band hat noch nicht abgesagt.“

Köln – Sie würden so gern mal wieder ein Fass aufmachen, doch können nicht! Die Corona-Krise bedroht unser Kölsch, die Brauer schlagen Alarm. „Die Situation tut richtig weh und geht an die Substanz“, sagt Christian Kerner (54), Geschäftsführer des „Kölner Brauerei Verbandes“.
Die offiziellen Zahlen für 2020 gibt es zwar noch nicht. Doch Kerner kann jetzt schon sagen, dass der Absatz im vergangenen Jahr um rund 20 Prozent zurück gegangen ist. Der erste Lockdown im Frühjahr war für viele Brauereien schon schlimm. Der zweite, der jetzt noch bis Ende Januar verlängert wurde, macht alles noch schlimmer.
Kerner: „Geht das noch deutlich länger als Ende Januar, kann man bezweifeln, dass alle Brauereien das überleben.“
Keine Veranstaltungen, keine Karnevalssitzungen, keine FC- oder Haie-Spiele: All das trifft die Brauer hart – bei den meisten macht Fassbier einen Großteil des Absatzes aus. Dazu kommen die geschlossenen Gaststätten. „Der Verkauf in der Gastronomie hat nach dem ersten Lockdown wenigstens etwas abgefedert. Das Flaschenbier kann das alles aber nicht kompensieren“, so Kerner.
In der „Schreckenskammer“ an der Ursulagartenstraße werden die ersten Fässer schon schlecht. „Ende Januar müssen wir das Bier in den Gully kippen“, sagt Inhaberin Jessica Wirtz (43). „Ich musste schon andere Lebensmittel wie Schweinefilet wegschmeißen. Das tut einem in der Seele weh.“
Selbst Branchenriese „Gaffel“ trifft der Lockdown hart. Das Fassbier macht die Hälfte des Absatzes aus, die Marke ist Marktführer in der Gastronomie. „Die Fassbier-Produktion wurde frühzeitig angepasst. Es gibt zwar ein Plus im Flaschenbier-Bereich, aber das gleicht die Verluste nicht aus“, so ein Sprecher.

Corea del Nord, retrocessa la potente sorella di Kim Jong-un

PECHINO – Una promozione e una retrocessione: per la famiglia Kim, la stirpe semidivina che guida la Corea del Nord, la sesta giornata del Congresso del Partito dei lavoratori si è conclusa con un bilancio in chiaroscuro. Ad incassare la promozione, o meglio la auto promozione, è stato il leader supremo Kim Jong-un, 37 anni, nominato anche segretario generale del Partito, come già furono il padre e il nonno. Ad essere retrocessa invece è stata la sorella minore Kim Yo-jong, 33 anni, il cui ruolo di membro a rotazione del Politburo, il massimo organo decisionale del Partito, non è stato riconfermato. E se l’ulteriore ascesa di Kim Jong-un nella sostanza cambia poco, se non aggiungere un titolo onorifico in più a un dittatore già dotato di pieni poteri, la discesa di Kim Yo-jong, che l’intelligence sudcoreana aveva descritto come la numero due di fatto del regime, è una decisione per certi aspetti inattesa, che ha catturato l’attenzione degli osservatori.
Diciamolo subito: come sempre interpretare questi movimenti al vertice della Corea del Nord è un esercizio altamente speculativo, che dà origine a ipotesi addirittura opposte tra loro. A parte l’intoccabile leader, spesso il personale che lo circonda, parenti compresi, alterna periodi di ascesa e improvvise cadute in disgrazia, seguiti da altrettanto subitanee risalite. Un meccanismo che tra le altre cose serve ad evitare che si creino centri alternativi di potere.
Di certo negli ultimi tre anni, dal grande disgelo nucleare in poi, Kim Yo-jong è emersa come una figura chiave a Pyongyang, a metà tra una segretaria, un capo dello staff e una consigliera del fratello. Prima si è esibita come colomba della diplomazia, aprendo la fase del dialogo con la Corea del Sud, di recente, dopo lo stallo dei negoziati, si è trasformata in tonante castigatrice di Seul, attaccando i vicini dalle colonne della stampa di regime proprio mentre Pyongyang faceva saltare in aria l’ufficio di collegamento al confine. Nel frattempo, oltre al ruolo di numero due della propaganda, per lei era arrivata anche la nomina tra i membri a rotazione del Politburo. Di recente era scomparsa per alcune settimane, per pio riapparire più combattiva che mai, sempre attaccando Seul, tanto che qualche osservatore ipotizzava che durante questo raro Congresso, appena il terzo degli ultimi 40 anni, Kim Yo-jong potesse essere promossa tra i membri permanenti del Politburo.
Invece ecco la retrocessione. E qui iniziano le interpretazioni. Per qualcuno questa mossa significa che la sorella minore in realtà non è mai stata la numero due, come sosteneva l’intelligence di Seul. Per altri che paga gli scarsi risultati della politica di apertura internazionale e l’eccessiva visibilità ottenuta negli ultimi anni. Altri dicono che non bisogna dare troppo peso ai titoli nel Partito: il suo ruolo di consigliera informale, ma potentissima, del dittatore resta intatto, come dimostra il fatto che al Congresso la sedia fosse tra le più centrali, pochi metri dietro quella del fratello. Altri ancora sostengono addirittura l’uscita dal Politburo sia un segnale di forza, perché la Kim minore non avrebbe più bisogno di ruoli ufficiali per veder riconosciuta la propria autorità.
È possibile (ma non sicuro!) che nelle prossime settimane si capisca qualcosa di più. Per ora si può solo dire che il suo essere scesa di grado non significa che sia stata purgata. Nel frattempo il grande Congresso del Partito, iniziato una settimana fa, prosegue. Dopo un primo discorso in cui ha fatto autocritica per il disastro dell’economia nazionale, reduce da un anno tragico, in quelli successivi Kim ha usato il palco per annunciare un nuovo piano di sviluppo, senza molti dettagli, ma anche nuovi armamenti. Altro non è che una riproposizione della doppia priorità da sempre al centro delle sue politiche: cannoni e burro. Ma mentre l’obiettivo nucleare è già raggiunto, quello economico è clamorosamente fallito e, in assenza di svolte sul piano dei negoziati nucleari e delle sanzioni, è difficile capire come Pyongyang possa pensare di rilanciarsi.

Bursa Ticaret ve Sanayi Odası (BTSO) tarafından düzenlenen webinarda Nijerya’da ticaret ve yatırım yapmak isteyen iş insanlarına tavsiyelerde bulunan Türkiye’nin Abuja Büyükelçisi Melih Ulueren, “Nijerya’da başarılı olmak için Nijerya’da bulunmak gerekiyor. Nijerya’da yerleşik olmak, bu ülkede başarının anahtarı” dedi. BTSO tarafından, iş dünyasının Kovid19 salgınının küresel pazarlardaki seyri ve yeni normalde yatırım ve ticaret fırsatları hakkında bilgilendirilmesi amacıyla düzenlenen webinar programları 2021 yılında da devam ediyor. Küresel Fuar Acentesi ve Uludağ İhracatçı Birlikleri işbirliğinde geçtiğimiz yıl Birleşik Krallık’tan Rusya’ya, Fas’tan Kanada’ya kadar potansiyel pazarlara yönelik 29 ayrı webinar düzenleyen BTSO, üyelerini büyükelçi, ticaret müşavirleri ve ticaret ataşeleri ile sanal ortamda bir araya getirdi. Yeni yıldaki ilk webinar programı ise Afrika’nın en büyük ekonomilerinden Nijerya pazarı gündemi ile gerçekleştirildi. BTSO Yönetim Kurulu Başkan Yardımcısı Cüneyt Şener’in moderatörlüğünde düzenlenen ‘Nijerya Pazarı ve Ticaret Fırsatları’ webinarına Türkiye’nin Abuja Büyükelçisi Melih Ulueren, Abuja Ticaret Müşaviri Onur Akgül, BTSO Yönetim Kurulu Üyesi Yüksel Taşdemir, Dış Ekonomik İlişkiler Kurulu (DEİK) TürkiyeNijerya İş Konseyi Başkanı Hakan Özel ve Tevfik Demirel katıldı. BTSO Yönetim Kurulu Başkan Yardımcısı Cüneyt Şener, Türk girişimcileri için önemli bir pazar olan Nijerya’nın Ticaret Bakanlığı’nın 2021 yılı için belirlediği öncelikli ülkelerden biri olduğunu söyledi. Bursa ile Nijerya arasındaki ticaret hacminin 2019 yılında 10,6 milyon dolara ulaştığını kaydeden Şener, Nijerya’ya ihracat gerçekleştiren 83 Bursa firmasının bulunduğunu ifade etti. “Nijerya salgından en fazla etkilenen ekonomiler arasında” Türkiye’nin Abuja Büyükelçisi Melih Ulueren, Nijerya’nın Kovid19 salgınından en çok etkilenen ekonomilerin başında geldiğini söyledi. Salgınla birlikte küresel alanda petrol fiyatlarının düştüğünü belirten Büyükelçi Ulueren, ekonomisi büyük ölçüde petrole dayalı olan Nijerya’nın bu gelişmelerden olumsuz etkilendiğini kaydetti. Ülkede önemli bir döviz sıkıntısı yaşandığını ifade eden Ulueren, “Nijeryalı üreticiler hammadde ve ara malı satın alacak döviz bulamıyor. IMF ve Dünya Bankası’ndan alınan kredi desteği ile ekonomide toparlanma hedefleniyor. Salgının sona ermesi ile birlikte petrol fiyatları yeniden artacak. Zaman içerisinde Nijerya’nın her zamanki güçlü potansiyeline kavuşmasını bekliyoruz” dedi. Nijerya’da ticaret ve yatırım yapmak isteyen iş insanlarına tavsiyelerde bulunan Büyükelçi Ulueren, “Nijerya’da başarılı olmak için Nijerya’da bulunmak gerekiyor. Firmalarımız burada yerel bir ortakla birlikte hareket edebilirler. Bununla birlikte burada sadece Bursa değil bütün Türk üreticilerinin ürünlerini sergileyebileceği daimi bir Türkiye pavyonu kurulabilir. Çin’in uyguladığı ve çok faydalı olan bu çalışmayı Nijerya’da hayata geçirebiliriz. Türk ürünlerinin Nijerya’daki kalite algısı çok yüksek. Nijerya’da yerleşik olmak burada başarının anahtarı konumunda” diye konuştu. Dünyanın en büyük 12. petrol üreticisi Türkiye'nin Abuja Ticaret Müşaviri Onur Akgül, yaptığı sunumda Türkiye ile Nijerya arasındaki ekonomik ilişkiler hakkında bilgiler verdi. Nijerya’nın dünyanın en büyük 12. petrol üreticisi, 8. büyük ihracatçısı ve ispatlanmış rezerv anlamında 10. büyük ülkesi olduğunu söyleyen Akgül, ülkenin 53 milyar dolarlık ihracatının yaklaşık 45 milyar dolarını petrol ve doğal gazın oluşturduğunu kaydetti. TÜİK verilerine göre Türkiye ve Nijerya arasındaki ticaret hacminin 2019 yılında 725 milyon dolar seviyesine ulaştığını ifade eden Akgül, Türkiye’nin Nijerya’dan en fazla susam tohumu, kakao, kakao yağı ve odun kömürü ithal ettiği bilgisini verdi. Nijerya’da Kovid19 salgını ile birlikte tıbbi ekipman ürünlerinde ithalat vergilerinin askıya alındığını söyleyen Akgül, bu alanda ihracatın artabileceğini dile getirdi. Hafif sanayi sektörü, tekstil ekipmanları, beyaz eşya, elektronik, bilişim, ambalajlama/paketleme ve enerji sektörlerinin ülkede yatırım açısından öncelikli sektörlerin başında geldiğini söyleyen Akgül, “Nijerya’da bu yıl otomotiv sektöründe ithal vergilerin yüzde 35’ten yüzde 5’e düşürülmesi yönünde bir çalışma yapılıyor. Nijerya’da kayıtlı 11 milyon araç var. 200 milyon nüfusa göre araç sayısı ülkede çok düşük. Bu da ciddi bir araç ihtiyacı anlamına geliyor. Ülkede otomotiv ve otomotiv yan sanayii sektöründeki fırsatları da takip etmekte fayda var” diye konuştu. DEİK TürkiyeNijerya İş Konseyi Başkanı Hakan Özel, Nijerya’nın 200 milyonu aşkın nüfusuyla Afrika’nın en büyük pazarları arasında yer aldığını söyledi. Genç bir nüfusa sahip olan Nijerya’nın ihtiyaçlarını büyük ölçüde ithalatla karşıladığını kaydeden Özel, “Nijerya’da 1999 yılından bu yana ticaret yapıyoruz. Birçok sektörde yatırımlarımız var. Salça fabrikası ve kereste fabrikası kurduk, mangal kömürü ve susam ihracatı yapıyoruz. Nijerya’da ticaretin hep içinde olduk. Biraz zor öğrendik ama şu anda büyük bir tecrübeye sahibiz. DEİK çatısı altında yaptığımız çalışmalarla, Nijerya’da iş yapmak isteyen Türk firmalara rehberlik etmeyi amaçlıyoruz” dedi.

Reken/Marl – In diesem Garten ist auch die Zeche grün – und sie wächst immer weiter.
Der ehemalige Steiger Heinz-Wilhelm Hardes (61) aus Reken hat in seinem Garten den Schacht 8 der Zeche Auguste Victoria in Lippramsdorf nachgebaut. Im Maßstab 1:20 thront das grüne Fördergerüst (1,50 m breit, 2,10 m hoch) hinter seinem Haus.
30 Jahre malochte Hardes in dieser Zeche. „Das waren schöne Zeiten auf dem Pütt, das will ich nicht missen“, erklärt der gelernte Schlosser. Und weil er gerne bastelt und tüftelt, holte er sich seinen alten Arbeitsplatz nach Hause, versah ihn sogar mit drehenden Seilscheiben.
Knapp 3000 Euro und unzählige Arbeitsstunden hat Hardes in den Nachbau investiert. Geholfen haben ihm die Original-Baupläne des großen Förderturms mit der charakteristischen A-Form (42 Meter hoch).
Die Fördermaschine der Mini-Zeche wird durch einen Motor für Garagentore angetrieben, das Fördergerüst ist aus Kupfer, versehen mit der Originalfarbe des großen Bruders in Lippramsdorf.
Während bei den meisten Zechen das Licht schon lange aus ist, geht bei Hardes die Arbeit weiter. Er sagt: „Als nächstes soll die Fördermaschine auch noch Geräusche machen. Der Lautsprecher hängt schon.“

Der Sturm auf das US-Kapitol sorgt bei vielen Sportlern in den Vereinigten Staaten für Entsetzen: Ein doppelter Olympiasieger ist aber an den Krawallen in Washington beteiligt, wie Videoaufzeichnungen nun nahelegen. Der Ex-Schwimmer Klete Keller ist auf ihnen wohl als Teil von Donald Trumps Mob zu erkennen.
Am Sturm auf das US-Kapitol in Washington war offenbar auch ein Schwimm-Olympiasieger beteiligt. Videoaufnahmen des Angriffs militanter Anhänger des Noch-Präsidenten Donald Trump legen nahe, dass der Amerikaner Klete Keller Teil des wütenden Mobs war. Der 38-Jährige gewann 2004 und 2008 in der 4x200-m-Freistilstaffel mit dem Rekordolympiasieger Michael Phelps die Goldmedaille, zudem holte er 2000 und 2004 Bronze über 400 m. Staffelsilber gewann er einmal.
Mehrere US-Medien berichteten, dass Keller auf dem Videomaterial erkannt worden sei. Zu sehen ist ein großer Mann, der einen Trainingsanzug des US-Olympiateams trägt und sehr große Ähnlichkeit mit dem Schwimmer hat. Ob er an Gewalttätigkeiten beteiligt war, geht aus dem Bildern nicht hervor. Am vergangenen Mittwoch hatten wütende Unterstützer des abgewählten Trump das Kapitol in der US-Hauptstadt gestürmt, fünf Menschen kamen bei den Krawallen ums Leben.
Keller nicht auf den Fahndungslisten Sport 07.01.21 "Amerikanische Terroristen" Sturm auf den Kongress schockiert US-Sportler
Das Fachmagazin "Swimming World" berichtet, Keller sei ein treuer Anhänger Trumps und habe sich in der Vergangenheit öffentlich zum abgewählten US-Präsidenten bekannt. Seine Kanäle in den sozialen Medien sind allerdings gelöscht worden oder nicht mehr aufrufbar. Das Magazin schreibt weiter, dass Keller nicht verhaftet wurde und nicht auf den Fahndungslisten der Polizei stünde.
Viele andere US-Sportler haben entsetzt auf den Sturm von Anhängern Trump auf das Kapitol reagiert und eine offensichtliche Ungleichbehandlung angeprangert. Im Gegensatz zur Absicherung der Regierungsgebäude im Sommer wegen der Demonstrationen unter dem Motto "Black lives Matter" habe er weder die Armee noch die Nationalgarde gesehen, sagte etwa der Trainer der Philadelphia 76ers, Doc Rivers.
Die Basketball-Profis der Boston Celtics um Nationalspieler Daniel Theis und von Vizemeister Miami Heat hatten beim Abspielen der Nationalhymne vor ihrer Partie gekniet. Zudem veröffentlichten die Spieler eine gemeinsame Stellungnahme. "Der drastische Unterschied zwischen dem Weg, wie Demonstranten im vergangenen Frühjahr und Sommer behandelt wurden, und der Ermunterung für die Demonstranten heute, die illegal gehandelt haben, zeigt, wie viel mehr Arbeit wir zu erledigen haben", hieß es.

Telegram erlebt in den letzten drei Tagen eine wundersame Nutzer-Vermehrung. Trump-Anhänger auf der Suche nach Alternativen? Wohl auch. Zudem vergrault der große Konkurrent Whatsapp viele Nutzer mit neuen Datenschutzrichtlinien.
Der Messengerdienst Telegram hat binnen 72 Stunden rund 25 Millionen neue Nutzer dazugewonnen. Wie der russische App-Gründer Pawel Durow am Dienstag mitteilte, verzeichnet die Plattform derzeit rund 500 Millionen monatlich aktive Nutzer. Damit rückt Telegram näher an seinen US-Konkurrenten WhatsApp heran, der zuletzt weltweit zwei Milliarden Nutzer zählte.
Ein Grund für den Zulauf könnte sein, dass Twitter nach der Löschung des Kontos von Donald Trump auch zehntausende Accounts von QAnon-Anhängern von der Plattform verdammte. Gleichzeitig ist der bei Rechtsextremen beliebte Dienst Parler offline, nachdem Amazon die Seite nicht mehr hostet. Viele Nutzer sind also auf der Suche nach Alternativen.
Affällig ist aber auch, dass der Nutzeransturm auf Telegram mit der Einführung von neuen Datenschutzbedingungen bei WhatsApp zusammenfällt. Die neuen Regelungen sehen vor, dass mehr Daten an den Mutterkonzern Facebook weitergegeben werden dürfen. Die Änderungen haben für Kritik gesorgt, weil Nutzer außerhalb Europas, die den Bedingungen nicht vor dem 8. Februar zustimmen, von der App ausgeschlossen werden.
"Die Menschen wollen ihre Privatsphäre nicht mehr für kostenlose Dienste hergeben", sagte Durow, ohne sich konkret auf WhatsApp zu beziehen. Telegram sei der "größte Zufluchtsort" für diejenigen, die eine private und sichere Kommunikationsplattform suchen, fügte er hinzu. Durow versicherte den Nutzern, dass sein Team "diese Verantwortung sehr ernst nimmt".
Die Messaging-App wurde im Jahr 2013 von den Brüdern Pavel und Nikolai Durow gegründet, die auch das russische Online-Netzwerk VKontakte ins Leben gerufen haben. Weil Telegram sich weigert, mit Behörden zu kooperieren und Verschlüsselungen weiterzugeben, ist die App unter anderem in Russland verboten.
Facebook hatte Whatsapp im Jahr 2014 gekauft. Damals erklärte der Konzern, dass ein automatischer Datenabgleich zwischen den beiden Diensten technisch gar nicht möglich wäre – eine Falschaussage, für die die EU-Kommission Facebook drei Jahre später eine Millionenstrafe aufbrummte. Die EU-Kommission hatte solch einen Datenaustausch bei der Übernahme ausdrücklich untersagt. Whatsapps neue Datenschutzrichtlinie hat somit in der EU auch keine Gültigkeit - zustimmen müssen EU-Bürger aber trotzdem, wenn sie den Messenger weiter nutzen wollen.

A PLACE IN THE SUN presenter Laura Hamilton has admitted she was hit with a "fine for speeding" while filming the Channel 4 show in Fuerteventura recently, as the star admitted she has been struggling to pay it following the incident.
Laura Hamilton, 38, has candidly admitted she received a “fine” for speeding while filming in Spain for A Place In The Sun. The presenter revealed she was hit with a speeding ticket this week after driving too fast in Fuerteventura last month.
Speaking out on the incident for the first time during her Birds With Baggage Instagram Live show alongside Drag Queen and Britain’s Got Talent star La Voix, Laura also said she was having some trouble with paying her fine.
While opening up about her week in view of her 117,000 followers, Laura explained to La Voix: “So two days ago… everyone thinks, ‘Oh Laura, you’re so lucky, you get to go to all these amazing countries!’
“Yes I do, but do you know what I got through my letter box two days ago?
“A lovely speeding fine from Fuerteventura!”

La Voix then quipped: “From Fuerteventura! That was some speed to get over there!
“How fast were you going?”
Laura giggled before saying: “So, I got done for speeding in Fuerteventura just before Christmas.
“And oh my God, have you ever had a speeding ticket from being abroad?
“I tell you what, you can’t b****y pay it!
“I’ve tried for three days, I’ve got to pay it otherwise when I go back to film in the country they won’t let me in!
“It’s just a nightmare,” the property expert admitted.
La Voix then asked the star: “So why can’t you pay it?”

Detailing her struggles to pay the fine, Laura continued: “You know when you do a job and you’ve got a problem with your phone line?
“You phone them up and you’re on the phone for hours just trying to sort something and you never get it sorted out,” she explained.
Laura’s chat with La Voix marked her first episode of their new project together.
It comes as television personality is currently taking a break from filming A Place In The Sun amid the recently imposed UK lockdown.
Announcing her Instagram Live series, Laura told fans yesterday: "Morning. Happy Monday. How are you doing? Did you have a nice weekend?
"Did you manage to get out and about for a walk and get some fresh air?"
The mum-of-two continued: "You might have seen from Instagram stories that I am launching a brand new IGTV series with a very good friend of mine called La Voix.
"We're going to be live every Tuesday and Thursday on Instagram. We've got a website called Birds with Baggage.
"We've got our own Instagram page if you want to check that out."
Laura finished: "It's going to be a lot of fun and hopefully lots of laughs and some fantastic giveaways so make sure you follow us."

FORTNITE fans can download update 15.20 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android. Check out the server downtime schedule, patch notes and more.
Fortnite update 15.20 is finally about to be released by Epic Games.
After weeks without any updates, Epic has returned with a brand new patch for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC and Android.
Fortnite update 15.20 has January 13 release date, and a 9am GMT launch time for fans living in the UK.
As a numbered update, it will also launch alongside a period of server downtime, which runs from 9am until around 11am.
The news was announced by Epic Games on Twitter: "Battle up close and personal in our new update.
"v15.20 is scheduled for release on January 13. Downtime for the update will begin at approx. 4 AM ET (09:00 UTC)."
The wording of the tweet suggests there will be new close-range weapon. Leaked files hint at a brand new Run Gun, which makes players run faster when equipped. This would certainly let you get up close and personal with your opponent.
The new update is also likely to contain a brand new Hunter skin. Rumours suggest Predator will join the game, which definitely ties in to the theme of the current season.
According to the early patch notes, update 15.20 will also make various bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, which you can read about below.

HOW TO sleep: Being able to drift off and get a full night's rest is something of a fairy tale for some. What are the best ways to help calm your anxiety and promote sleep?

HOW TO sleep: Being able to drift off and get a full night's rest is something of a fairy tale for some. What are the best ways to help calm your anxiety and promote sleep?
As many are aware sleep is vital for overall good health but with the current climate leaving most feeling stressed, worried and anxious; sleep may not be as easy. Experts warn that lacking in sleep makes one more susceptible to infections. What are proven methods to help you sleep better?
Sanjay Verma, Chief Sleep Officer at Hilding Anders, the global sleep, health and wellness group, commented on the role sleep can play in improving immunity to viral infections, and how rising COVID-19 cases and the third national lockdown could lead to more lucid dreams.
Sanjay said: “Studies show that not getting enough sleep can weaken your immunity to viral infections.
“As COVID-19 cases rise and we're plunged into our third national lockdown, it's more important now than ever before to reassess your sleep and ensure you’re getting enough, good quality sleep each night.
“In one study, conducted in a controlled environment, people who slept for five hours compared to seven were three times more likely to catch a viral infection.
“Just two hours of sleep less a night can impact your health. We know from our global study of 4,000 people that individuals aren’t getting enough sleep, with Brits alone getting 1.4 hours sleep less than they want to at night.

“Its vital people take the opportunity of lockdown, and extra downtime this provides, to assess their sleep and look at ways they can improve the quality of their sleep each night, whether it's less screen time, a better mattress, or even an earlier bedtime.
“Good quality sleep can go a long way in improving your immune system.
“One aspect of sleep we can expect to see a rise in again though is vivid or lucid dreaming.
“We saw reports of greater lucid dreams in the first wave of the global pandemic, and now cases are rising again, even with a vaccine beginning to be rolled out, another lockdown is likely to lead to increased stress and anxiety, especially with businesses being forced to close and we're unable to see family and friends.
“Heightened stress or anxiety, even when it's subconscious, can have a huge impact on dream sleep, so don’t be alarmed if you start to experience lucid dreams in your sleep.”

Lucid dreaming happens when a person is aware that they’re dreaming.
They are able to recognise their thoughts and emotions as the dream happens.
Sometimes, lucid dreams can be controlled, or you may be able to change the people, environment, or storyline.
This type of dream of control could potentially reduce nightmares and anxiety.
One essential oil that has been shown to improve sleep quality is lavender oil, which comes from the distillation of the spikes of the fragrant flower.
According to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), lavender has long been touted for its calming effects on anxiety and agitation, factors that can disrupt the sleep-cycle.
As the NSF explained: “Its scent may slow down the nervous system, which relaxes the body and mind to improve sleep quality.”
Evidence and studies suggest that taking melatonin supplements is a simple and effective way to fall asleep faster.
Melatonin is a hormone which tells the body it is time to get some rest.
It has become a popular supplement among those who struggle to get their shut eye or those who wake up in the night.
Melatonin is produced by the pineal gland in the brain, but it is also found in areas such as the eyes, bone marrow and the gut.
The supplement has been dubbed the “sleep hormone” due to its ability to help a person fall asleep easier and better.

LIMESCALE is bound to attack your bath, taps, and kitchen appliances, but that doesn't mean you have to accept it. Here's the best way to strip limescale from your bath or shower.
Limescale is a hard and chalky deposit that builds up on surfaces where hard water has evaporated. If you live in a hard water area, your bath and shower are bound to be covered in the stuff. Express.co.uk chatted to Lynsey Queen of Clean (@lynsey_queenofclean) to find out the best way to strip limescale from your bath or shower.
The best way to strip limescale from your bath or shower
According to This Morning’s Lynsey Queen of Clean, the best way to get rid of limescale from your bath or shower involves just one product.
White vinegar is hailed as a miracle cleaner because it kills some bacteria, dissolves hard water and cuts through grease and grime.
Mix white vinegar with some water and you can clean just about anything in your home- including your bath and shower.

Firstly, you need to mix up your white vinegar cleaning product.
Dilute some distilled white vinegar with water in equal parts and pour it into a spray bottle.
This will ensure the white vinegar isn’t too intense and won’t damage your bathroom.
You’ll also need some paper towels, a clean toothbrush and a sponge.
Lynsey said: “Spray the white vinegar mixture onto the areas affected by limescale.
“Leave it for 15 minutes to soak, and then rinse it with fresh water.”
Just one time might not do the trick, so you may need to repeat this step a few times over.

If the limescale is worse around the taps and shower head, you can use a different method.
Lynsey said: “Spray the vinegar onto a paper towel until it is soaked.
“Wrap the towel around the taps and shower head and secure with a hair tie or elastic band.”
Leave the vinegar to soak for another 15 minutes, or leave it overnight if it’s really bad.
Once you’re ready to take it off, take a peek at the limescale and scrub it with a toothbrush to see if it will come off.
If it does, you can remove the paper towels and rinse.
If not, spray the vinegar on the paper towels again and repeat the process a few times.
Use a sponge and soapy water to clean the area and scrape away at the loose limescale, and then rinse the areas with water and leave to dry.

CLEANING sensation Mrs Hinch is known for using a plethora of household products to clean her belongings. Baking soda is a chemical most people have in their homes which can be used to clean the home. These are three ways Mrs Hinch uses baking soda to clean her property.
Mrs Hinch, also known as Sophie Hinchliffe, is a cleaning influencer who has gained mass recognition for her impressive tidying skills. The influencer, who has almost four million followers on Instagram, often shares her tips and hacks for cleaning her home. From freshening up mattresses to cleaning microwaves, Mrs Hinch uses baking soda for a plethora of household objects. These are Mrs Hinch’s top three cleaning hacks using baking soda.
Mrs Hinch shocked fans last year after she revealed her genius “bicarbonate of soda on the mattress” trick.
The cleaning pro used bicarbonate of soda, a sieve, a hoover and essential oils to freshen up her mattress.
Mrs Hinch stripped the bed down so there were no covers or sheets on it.
She then put the powder on the mattress using the sieve before leaving it to set on the bed for an hour.

Once it has been on the bed for an hour, Mrs Hinch then removed the excess powder with the hoover.
She then put her clean sheets back on the bed.
Mrs Hinch said she uses baking soda to eliminate any odours which have soaked into the bed.
She then uses some essential oil on the pillows to leave a relaxing, fragrant smell.
Lavender is often the preferred essential oil for bedding as it is historically sleep-inducing.

Last summer, Mrs Hinch revealed her genius hack for cleaning her engagement and wedding ring.
The cleaning sensation used white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda to clean her jewellery.
She shared on Instagram the exact measurements with her fans.
She said to use half a cup of white vinegar and two tablespoons of baking soda.
She left her jewellery in a container with both products for two to three hours.
Mrs Hinch then advised cleaners to wash the jewellery off under cold water and dry thoroughly with a dry cloth.
She covered her bowl with a cloth while she was waiting for her jewellery to clean as the solution often fizzes.
Mrs Hinch can often make life easier with her cleaning tips and hacks.
If your microwave often smells a bit pungent after a few uses, Mrs Hinch recommended using baking soda to eliminate the smell.
She recommended fellow cleaners put some baking soda into a small dish and leave it in the microwave for the day without using it.
Mrs Hinch said the powder will absorb the smells and leave your microwave smelling fresh and clean.

MICROSOFT TEAMS features an automatic inactivity timeout, which some users find a nuisance. Here is how to stop Microsoft Teams from showing away while working from home.

MICROSOFT TEAMS features an automatic inactivity timeout, which some users find a nuisance. Here is how to stop Microsoft Teams from showing away while working from home.
The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in everyone who is able to work remotely ordered to do just that. And from Slack to Skype and Zoom, numerous work communication apps have more than risen to the challenge. But Microsoft Teams is among the most popular of such platforms responsible for revolutionising the working from home experience, boasting 115 million regular users – with this number is rising fast.
Those using Microsoft Teams will likely notice when a computer or device gets idle, an automatic inactivity timeout turns on.
But numerous users have complained this function can in fact be a real turn off.
This is because Microsoft Teams’ activity status does not always accurately reflect what is actually being accomplished at work.
Those who are listed as ‘inactive’ on Microsoft Teams for five minutes will find their status will alter to ‘away’.
READ MORE: Android users might not get bragging rights over the iPhone after all
Unfortunately, the bad news is such an inactivity feature cannot currently be disabled.
But the good news is the availability of downloaded additional apps to help avoid this issue.
Third-party apps such as Mouse Jiggler for Microsoft Windows and Caffeine for Apple Macs can force their device to appear in use, meaning the irritating inactivity timeout will not appear.
Microsoft Teams users can include a status message when they are set to leave their computer for a time.
Users can also include a specific status, for example, Gone For A Walk, or Gone To The Shop.
Microsoft Teams users also have the option of including a time limit on this status under Clear After > Today, One Hour, Two Hours.
Those having trouble updating their status on Microsoft Teams may have to instead reset their Microsoft Teams status.

The status’ available on Microsoft Teams range from Available, Busy, Do Not Disturb (DND), Away and Be Right Back (BRB).
The status list should reveal an option to Reset Status.
One this is select the Teams user’s status should be refreshed even is they have been absent from their workstation for a while.
To save time, users can instead use the command bar on Microsoft Teams to update their status.
Simply manually type /Available”, /Away, /dnd and /brb into the command bar and the status will update accordingly.
Meetings are about the people in them, not the just technology they use.
A Microsoft Teams blog writes: “The most effective meetings have a clear purpose. Use your meeting description to detail what the meeting is for.”
When you have got robust bandwidth, activating video can be a real boost.
Microsoft writes: “Use background blur if you don’t want your background to be a distraction.
“Video really amps up collaboration in meetings (but if you’ve got limited bandwidth, turn off video to maintain high-quality audio).”
Tracking notes and action items and sharing frequently-used documents is also easy with Microsoft Teams.
The platform suggests: “Take notes and share follow-ups in chat. It’s harder to get a casual recap in the hallway when there is no hallway.
“Use an app like Planner, Asana, or Trello to track tasks.”
Microsoft Teams also suggests customising the virtual workspace is always a nice touch.
The blog post adds: “Pin your favourite one-on-one or group chats so they always appear on the upper left.
“Drag and drop your teams so they are in priority order, and hide teams you don’t work in often.”

CHANNEL Islands Fishermen have expressed anger that French vessels will still be allowed to fish in their waters after the UK left the EU.

CHANNEL Islands Fishermen have expressed anger that French vessels will still be allowed to fish in their waters after the UK left the EU.
Don Thompson, Chairman of the Jersey Fishermen's Association claimed they were “not celebrating” the Brexit deal achieved by Boris Johnson on Christmas Eve. Jersey, which is not part of the UK, agreed earlier this month to back the deal between the UK and EU, however.
As part of the new deal, French vessels will still be allowed to fish in the islands' waters due to a previous Treaty but the Crown Dependency will have the sole power to issue fishing licences.
Fishing in Jersey had previously been managed under the Treaty of the Bay of Granville which presided over the destinies of the fishing rights of French boats in Jersey waters since 1839.
French vessels with historical fishing activity in Jersey waters will continue to have access.
It is also expected French boats would outnumber Jersey ones with only 75 in the island fleet.
Mr Thompson added: "There’s generally a huge amount of disappointment around the fishing fleet.
"We will have a French fleet probably three times the size of our own continuing to fish in our waters.
"Fishermen are certainly not celebrating."
Mr Thompson continued: "Even our fisheries officers genuinely thought that at the very least we should have been aiming for ways to go with the other two Crown Dependencies for a six-mile exclusion limit, with full management control and up to 12 miles.

"We’ve got an arrangement that takes us out of the Bay of Granville treaty, but effectively all the same levels of access, all the types of fishing – everything that was enshrined in the treaty – we have to preserve.
"We have sovereignty, but we have both hands tied behind our back."
Deputy John Young, Jersey’s Environment Minister said there would be "reciprocal access" for the French because "some of our boats do access the French territorial waters and presumably will continue to do so".
Meanwhile, Olivier Leprêtre, president of Hauts-de-France regional maritime fisheries committee claimed French fishermen were being forced to “start over with the British” due to Brexit.

He said: “For three years, we have had the guillotine above our heads, wondering when it will fall. Fortunately, with this famous agreement - which is more or less good - we escape the guillotine.
“We may lose some of our hair, but that's a lesser evil.
“So we are not going to complain but we must give ourselves the time to put everything in place.
“It doesn't happen like that overnight.
“We are starting over with the British, and everything has to be done. Both access to water and the market, etc.
“There is a lot of work and it is obvious that professionals are a little afraid of the future.
“But we are there to put things in place.”

BREXITEER Martin Daubney confronted the SNP's Ian Blackford with two flaws in his party's plans to rejoin the EU as an independent Scotland.

BREXITEER Martin Daubney confronted the SNP's Ian Blackford with two flaws in his party's plans to rejoin the EU as an independent Scotland.
The Scottish politician, who serves as the leader of the SNP in the House of Commons, tweeted: "Welcome to Brexit. There is an alternative for Scotland. It is time to find our way back to Europe out of the darkness of Brexit.
"It is time for independence."
In response to Mr Blackford's tweet, former MEP and chief presenter for media channel Unlocked UK Martin Daubney tweeted: "Serious question to Ian Blackford MP.
"Please explain to us and especially the Scottish electorate, how Scotland will overcome the economic criteria to rejoin the EU?
"How you will deal with the fact that both Spain and Belgium would most likely never vote to allow Scotland to rejoin."
Last year a former president of the EU's finance council claimed that Belgium and Spain could block Scotland from rejoining the EU as an independent state.
According to an interview in the Daily Telegraph from 2014, the former president of the EU's finance council, Ruairi Quinn explained why Spain and Belgium would block such a move.
Mr Quinn wrote: “In my opinion, it is highly probable that at least two member states, maybe more, will vote no.

"Spain will not want to create the precedent in another member state of a nation/region deciding to leave and join the EU in their own right.
“Such a political development would really encourage Catalonia and the Basque Country to agitate for secession from Spain."
He added: “Belgium, a federal kingdom which has two distinct regions, Flanders and Wallonia, is extremely worried that a Scottish precedent would really encourage the now very rich region of Flanders to secede from the Kingdom.
"This would impoverish Belgium.”

In the 2014 interview Mr Quinn noted: “If, however unlikely, Scotland was accepted, as a full member it would have to agree that once its economy met the economic criteria of Economic and Monetary Union, as politically agreed in Dublin in December 1996, it would be legally obliged to join the euro.”
One Twitter follower of Mr Daubney replied to his tweet: "The usual contempt for Scotland.
"With friends and partners like you it's no surprise Scots will dissolve the union shortly.
"And they will."
However, Mr Daubney replied to this and said: "Asking questions, important one, isn't the usual contempt.
"If they can't be answered, there's the rub: the SNP are selling an impossible dream."

PRINCE CHARLES is the heir apparent and is the longest waiting heir to the throne in history. His relationship with Princess Diana is often a point of interest, but when did Prince Charles and Princess Diana separate?
Prince Charles has been back in the public eye after months of royal event cancellations and isolating due to the pandemic. Now the Prince of Wales has said he will "absolutely" get the Covid-19 vaccine when it is offered to him. At 72, Charles will be in one of the age groups to be offered the vaccine next.
Queen Elizabeth II, 94, has already received her vaccine, releasing an unheard-of statement to reveal both she and Prince Philip, 99, were given the jab.
Now Prince Charles has given a stark warning on the fate of the world, cautioning more pandemics could be on the way if we do not tackle global warming and destruction of the natural world.
Speaking to CNN Charles said: "So this pandemic will not be the last one unless we are very careful, so that's why it's critical to heal the natural world as well as ourselves. This is why we can't ignore it."
Charles has long been passionate about the environment, in particular climate change and habitat loss.

His passion for raising awareness of important issues and dedication to charity work is a trait he shared with his first wife, Princess Diana.
When did Prince Charles and Princess Diana separate?
Prince Charles and then Lady Diana Spencer married on July 29, 1981, at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
Their nuptials were dubbed a "fairytale wedding" and the "wedding of the century" and televised to an estimated global TV audience of 750 million.
The couple had known each other for several years before marrying and met when Charles was in fact dating Diana’s older sister Lady Sarah Spencer.
Charles proposed to Diana on February 3, 1981, in the nursery at Windsor Castle, and this was made official on February 24, 1981.
In total 3,500 guests attended the lavish wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral, and a staggering two million people lined the route of Diana's procession from Clarence House.
Upon her wedding to Charles - then 32 - Diana, 20, became the Princess of Wales.

The couple had two children together, Prince William and Prince Harry.
However their marriage did not last, and the pair ultimately separated, with their divorce finalised on August 28, 1996.
Their age difference and Charles' continued relationship with old flame Camilla Parker Bowles was said to be to blame for the split.
In an interview detailing her marital troubles Diana famously said: “There were three of us in this marriage. So it was a bit crowded.”
After their divorce, Diana lost the style Her Royal Highness and instead was styled Diana, Princess of Wales.
Just a year after their split Diana died in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris.
Her funeral was one of the most viewed television events in history with millions watching around the world and a British television audience which peaked at 32.10 million.
Charles went on to marry Camilla - now the Duchess of Cornwall - in 2005.
After marrying Charles, Camilla did not take the Princess of Wales title out of respect to the late Princess Diana.
Royal commenters have also said the move not to be styled Princess was to sway public opinion of Camilla.
Royal expert Marlene Koenig, told Town and Country: "Camilla was not popular or well-liked, [though] this has changed a lot since the marriage as Camilla has taken on a lot of patronages and Charles is a lot happier.
"Still, [there was] a lot of tension and anger among a certain element of the population—so it was decided that Camilla would be styled as the Duchess of Cornwall, even though, of course, she is the Princess of Wales."

MEN IN KILTS: A ROADTRIP WITH SAM AND GRAHAM finally has a release date but when exactly will Men in Kilts air?
Outlander fans have been counting down the days for Men in Kilts to drop on Starz and Starzplay. The new series will see Outlander stars Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish travel their native Scotland, which is also home to the Outlander series itself. Express.co.uk has everything you need to know.
After more than one year of waiting, Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham finally has a release date.
Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham will premiere on Valentines Day (Sunday, February 14) on Starz Network in the US.
Graham McTavish and Sam Heughan announced the news on their Twitter separate accounts, sharing their excitement.
McTavish tweeted: "It’s official. Starting on @STARZ 2/14 we navigate the wonders of Scotland with the even greater wonder of survival. @MenInKiltsSTARZ @SamHeughan."

There are eight episodes in the series, each 30 minutes long in length.
UK fans will be able to watch episodes of Men in Kilts via Amazon Prime Video.
Unfortunately, a UK release date has not yet been confirmed but just like Outlander, it is likely to drop on Prime every Monday.
Express.co.uk will update this article when more information is available.
Hot off the back of their New York Times best-selling book, Clanlands, Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish will be showing Outlander fans around their homeland of Scotland.
Heughan, who is best known for his role as Jamie Fraser in Starz Outlander comes from Dumfries and Galloway and McTavish, who played the role of Dougal MacKenzie, hails from Glasgow.
The eight-part series, described as a "love letter" to Scotland, will see the pair travel their home country, exploring Scottish history and culture, with plenty of whiskey and kilts along the way.
The pair will learn Highland traditions from the locals alongside exploring the country's beautiful landscape.

They will travel by car and boat to visit many of Scotland's castles alongside the beauty spots of Glencoe, Inverness and the famous Culloden battlefield.
Originally, the series was supposed to be a podcast, known as Clan Lands which quickly became Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham.
The synopsis for the series reads: “Created by the two Scotsmen, Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip With Sam and Graham promises a celebration of Scottish history and culture as Heughan and McTavish take viewers along on their adventures, discovering the rich, complex heritage of their native country, meeting various local artisans and experts, and experiencing genuine moments of awe and fascination as the duo share their travels with the audience rather than simply guiding them.”
Fans have taken to Twitter to share their excitement for the new series.
One fan tweeted: "@SamHeughan @grahammctavish Holy moly!!! It looks AMAZING guys!!! It's just gonna be complete mayhem!!!! Soo exciting!! CAN. NOT. WAIT!!! #MenInKilts "Make it So" lol !!!"
A second fan said: "YES!!! I finally have a date for Valentines Day!! Thanks to @SamHeughan and @grahammctavish."
A third fan added: "This is exactly what I need now in this chaotic world. TRAVEL, SCOTLAND and MEN in KILTS. Is it Valentines Day yet? @SamHeughan @grahammctavish @MenInKiltsSTARZ."
Whilst Men in Kilts may put a temporary halt to Droughtlander, fans are still eagerly awaiting news of season six.
Season five premiered in February 2020 and fans were anticipating season six to drop this year.
Unfortunately, as a result of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, filming for season six was postponed and sadly, Outlander season six is unlikely to arrive this year.
Speaking to Town and Country Magazine in September 2020, executive producer Maril Davis confirmed: "This Droughtlander will continue for a wee bit longer than usual."

COBRA KAI recently returned for its third season. But what can you watch next after finishing the show?
Fans of Karate Kid were delighted when Netflix’s hit series Cobra Kai returned for its third season at the start of January. However, many will have already finished streaming the cult series already. As a result, Express.co.uk has rounded up some other series you can stream just like the popular show.
Where to watch: Netflix
The New Legends of Monkey is an Australian and New Zealand co-production about a young monk who undertakes a perilous journey.
The series is based on the Japanese series Monkey, which first gained popularity when it aired in the 1970s and 80s.
Much like Cobra Kai, the series brings the cult classic back to life for a new audience.
There are also plenty of martial arts and Kung Fu sequences for viewers to enjoy.

Fans of great action sequences are likely to enjoy another Netflix series called Warrior Nun.
The series also features young protagonists who are going through the usual trials of growing up.
However, this series takes a more supernatural turn as its main focus is on Ava (played by Alba Baptista) who wakes up in a morgue with strange powers.
The first series is already available to stream on Netflix and a second outing has been commissioned.
Where to watch: Netflix
Wu Assassins features some impressive martial arts fights for those fans of Cobra Kai who love this.
The show is about a Chinatown chef in San Francisco who finds himself entangled in the world of Chinese Triads.
The gang members are attempting to pursue some ancient powers called the Wu Xing
However, just like in Warrior Nun, things soon take a supernatural turn in the Netflix series.

Kingdom has a lot in common with Cobra Kai in terms of its basic premise.
The series is about a former MMA fight named Alvey Kulina (Frank Grillo) who now runs a mixed martial arts gym.
However, the American series is much darker than Cobra Kai, dealing with heavier themes like violence, drugs and sex work.
But if you’re looking for a show looking at how martial arts can help you find a purpose, then look no further.
Where to watch: Netflix
Of course, on face value, Stranger Things and Cobra Kai are very different television shows.
Stranger Things is all about a small town called Hawkins, which is struggling to deal with a supernatural threat.
However, both series follows the perils of growing up and the unique pressures you face in a very believable way.
As well as this, the series are both full of 80s nostalgia, which many fans will love as well.
Cobra Kai seasons 1-3 are available on Netflix now.

India reportedly complain to Cricket Australia about Brisbane Test hotel

India’s cricket board has reportedly complained to Cricket Australia about several aspects of the Brisbane bubble that Ajinkya Rahane’s team will call home until the Test series ends.
The tourists had been reluctant to travel to Queensland’s capital for the series decider that begins at the Gabba on Friday, worried about what sort of biosecurity restrictions could be on the cards.
Queensland’s border is currently closed to travellers from Sydney because of Covid-19 cases, meaning Australia and India’s squads had to shuffle into hotel quarantine after their chartered flight touched down in Brisbane.
The state government has provided exemptions for players to train and play at the Gabba, and mingle in communal areas of the inner-city hotel that has been booked out entirely by CA.
CA chief executive Nick Hockley could be forgiven for breathing a sigh of relief on Monday after the Board of Control for Cricket in India agreed to arrangements proposed by the home board and Queensland officials.
But the tourists made it clear to CA after Tuesday’s check-in that their experience did not meet expectations, according to several media outlets in India.
India’s concerns reportedly included the standard of the gym, the fact that the hotel pool and restaurant were closed, and absence of room service and housekeeping.
There is a three-day break between the third and fourth Tests, with the injury-riddled touring party keen to ensure its players can recover as well as possible while in lockdown.
BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah and chief executive Hemang Amin all reportedly raised concerns about what they were hearing from the team on the ground.
The Times of India quoted an unnamed senior BCCI official, who claimed that CA gave fresh assurances on Tuesday regarding hotel facilities.
“The board has been told that the team has been given access to all the lifts in the hotel. They can use a gym too. It has been assured that there will be room service and housekeeping,” the BCCI official said.
“The team has also been given a team room where they can assemble and have meetings. Only the swimming pool is not open.
“The players are exhausted and have retired to their rooms. But they would like to go out for a stroll later ... BCCI is always by the side of its players and will ensure they get the best treatment.”

CHICAGO PD season 8 premiered at the end of 2020 on NBC but when does Chicago PD return in 2021?
Chicago PD season eight premiered on November 11, 2020, on NBC in the US. Fans were treated only to the show's first two episodes of season eight before the police-drama went on hiatus. When will Chicago PD return this year? Express.co.uk has everything you need to know.
There is good news for fans of the American police-drama series, Chicago PD.
Season eight is returning to screens much sooner than anticipated.
Episode three of the new series will premiere tomorrow evening (Wednesday, January 13) at 10pm ET on NBC.
The upcoming episode, titled Tender Age, will see the Chicago PD team investigate the murder of a family, which particularly affects Adam Ruzek (played by Patrick John Flueger) and Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati).

The synopsis for the premiere episode reads: "When a child is found is walking alone in the middle of the street, the team later discovers that her entire family has been murdered and that she narrowly escaped.
"The investigation leads to a complicated family story that hits home for the members of the Chicago PD."
Chicago PD, alongside Chicago Men and Chicago Fire, was originally supposed to return to screens last week (Wednesday, January 6) on NBC.
However, the network decided to delay the midseason premiere of all three shows due to its coverage of the riot at the Capitol by pro-supporters.
Episode four titled, Unforgiven, will air on Wednesday, January 20 with episode five premiering on Wednesday, January 27.
At the moment, just how many episodes are in season eight of Chicago PD remains unknown.
The previous seven seasons have between 15 and 20 episodes, so season eight is likely to follow suit, with episodes airing every week.
Express.co.uk will update this article when more information is available.
Every Wednesday, 'Chicago' fans will be treated to a three-hour-long Chicago marathon.

FISHING laws protecting British marine conservation waters must be strengthened post-Brexit to protect from EU trawlers, according to the UK's leading charity.
|
FISHING laws protecting British marine conservation waters must be strengthened post-Brexit to protect from EU trawlers, according to the UK's leading charity.
Dr Jean-Luc Solandt, principle specialist in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) at the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), has called for increased legal protection for Britain’s seabed. The MPAs have given special status from fishing because of the ecological importance of the seabed. It follows a report from the MCS that pointed out EU boats operating in all but one of the UK’s MPAs.
After Brexit, Dr Solandt said the UK Government now has the power to ban trawling in these areas if they wanted to do so.
He pointed to last year’s Fisheries Act, which allows devolved nations to make decisions about British waters, as long as the measures treat EU and UK trawlers equally as a condition of the trade deal struck by Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Dr Solandt added to The Telegraph: “Those laws are strong enough to stop trawling on the seabed. It's just political will now, that needs to push this through for the benefit of the nation.
"Not for the benefit of fishermen, not for the benefit of the conservationists, but to get the pride back in our seas, to get the productivity back in our seas, and start again, because the EU project failed for the conservation of the seas. Now we have the opportunity to really push ahead.”

Research from the MCS said trawling took place in 98 percent of British MPAs from 2015 to 2018.
Their report said bottom trawling, where weighted nets are dragged across the sea floor, is banned in only 5 percent of British MPAs.
From 2015 to 2018, bottom trawlers and dredging ships spent at least 89,894 hours fishing MPA seabeds.
The report added: “Prior to Brexit, the UK had attempted to implement management measures that were either rejected or diminished by other member states with a declared fishing interest in UK sites under the EU Common Fisheries Policy.”
Chris Thorne, oceans campaigner at Greenpeace UK, echoed the calls for the UK Government to boost protection for MPAs.
He said: “The time has come for the Government to stop hiding behind empty statements, and deliver on its Brexit promise to properly protect our seas.
"A robust network of marine protected areas, where all destructive fishing like bottom trawling is banned, would make the UK a genuine world leader in marine protection and could also help us combat the climate emergency."
In total there are 358 MPAs in British waters, with a Government consultation launched into the impact of fishing in four of the zones.

A spokesman for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs responded and said Britain “is a global leader” in protecting marine life.
He added to the Telegraph: “As an independent coastal state the UK can now review which vessels can access and fish our waters.
"All boats must abide by our rules around sustainability and protection of our MPAs.
“Last year, the government commissioned a review of how we protect our MPAs and we are carefully considering whether there is a case for increased protections for these areas.”
It comes after a British company claimed Mr Johnson is failing to safeguard fishermen unable to visit seas off the coast of Norway, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Sir Barney White-Spunner, chairman of the advisory board of UK Fisheries Ltd, said: "The EU deal is done, but for English distant-waters fishing the future is anything but certain.
"Our state-of-the-art freezer trawler Kirkella is tied up in Hull. Right now, we’re not supporting jobs upstream or downstream.
"We're not generating wealth in the form of inward investment and UK taxes. We’re not bringing home British cod and haddock for our national dish."

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}People need to follow social distancing rules in supermarkets, the vaccines minister has said, amid concern that they are being broken by some shoppers.
"We need to make sure people actually wear masks and follow the one-way system," Nadhim Zahawi told Sky News on Monday.
Customers must also wait outside when shops are at capacity, he added.
He stopped short, however, of saying that supermarket staff should be responsible for enforcing the rules.
The minister called on the public to "behave as if they've got the virus" and observe social distancing measures in stores.
"But, ultimately, the most important thing to do now is to make sure that actually enforcement - and of course the compliance with the rules - when people are going into supermarkets are being adhered to," he said.
Under current lockdown restrictions across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, people most only leave home for essential reasons, such as buying food or medicine.
In an attempt to contain the spread of Covid-19, supermarkets introduced social distancing measures during the UK's first nationwide lockdown last March. They included limits on the numbers of customers in the shops at any one time, protective plastic screens at tills and "marshals" to ensure shoppers were maintaining a two-metre distance.
Amid rising numbers of infections, some have expressed concerns about a "lack of visible protections" in supermarkets in recent weeks.
The First Minister of Wales, Mark Drakeford, said on Saturday that he wanted to see stores policed as they were during the first lockdown as people were worried the strict enforcement of rules did not "appear to be there this time".
"Given the fact the new variant is so much easier to catch... we are looking at supermarkets and other places where people leave their homes, to make sure they are organised in a way that keeps their staff and customers safe," he said.
A Morrisons spokeswoman told the BBC that the number of customers allowed in its stores is limited, and it is also asking shoppers to visit alone when they can.
It added that its supermarkets have separate entry and exit points, as well as floor markings, to help social distancing.
Trade union Usdaw has also called for more stringent measures to be applied again.
The union's general secretary, Paddy Lillis, said that it had received reports that "too many customers are not following necessary safety measures like social distancing, wearing a face covering and only shopping for essential items".
"It is going to take some time to roll out the vaccine and we cannot afford to be complacent in the meantime, particularly with a new strain sweeping the nation," Mr Lillis said.
Usdaw has also suggested that "'one-in one-out" policies and proper queuing systems should be reintroduced in supermarkets.
It added that these systems should be managed by trained security staff where necessary.
The British Retail Consortium said that although the enforcement of face coverings was the responsibility of the police, workers have faced an increase in incidents of violence and abuse when trying to encourage shoppers to put them on.
Andrew Opie, director of food and sustainability at the British Retail Consortium, added that during this lockdown: "Supermarkets continue to follow all safety guidance and customers should be reassured that supermarkets are Covid-secure and safe to visit during lockdown and beyond.
"Customers should play their part too by following in-store signage and being considerate to staff and fellow shoppers."

A slow vaccine rollout could spark another round of movie delays, further damaging the industry

A slower-than-expected rollout of the coronavirus vaccine could have a domino effect on the 2021 movie slate, with possibly devastating effects on the industry.
Movie theater operators and studios had been optimistic heading into the new year that a steady rollout of vaccines to the general public would result in more people heading to cinemas and keep films firmly set in their current release dates.
However, monthly targets set by President Donald Trump's administration are not being hit, which has already forced Sony's "Morbius" to be moved from its March debut to a seemingly greener October. The film had already been displaced twice from its original July 10, 2020, debut because of Covid.
There are fears that other studios will be compelled to follow suit. Currently, January is devoid of new titles, but studios have plans to dole out films starting in February.
"We are concerned about the pace of the vaccine rollout as it does endanger the [first-quarter] release schedule and the return to normalcy, even though movie theaters actually remain one of the safest out-of-home experiences," said Karen Melton, vice president of marketing at Malco Theaters.
Early expectations were that 20 million vaccines would be administered in December and 50 million in January. As of Monday, only 8.9 million have found their way into Americans' arms.
The Trump administration has blamed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for the slow rollout, saying the guidelines the organization gave of inoculating health-care workers and people in nursing homes first had created a bottleneck in distribution. States, however, have blamed a lack of money, manpower and guidance from the federal government for the poor distribution.
On Tuesday, the federal government announced that it is changing the way it allocates the vaccine. Its new strategy will be based on how quickly states can administer shots and the size of their elderly population. States will have two weeks to prepare for this change.
President-elect Joe Biden's transition team announced last week that his administration will release all doses that had been held in reserve.
"I expect that we'll see a dramatic increase in the vaccination rate," said Michael Pachter, analyst at Wedbush, in an email to CNBC. "If we get 100 million people vaccinated in the first 100 days [which has been Biden's pledge], we'll have enough of a critical mass for theaters to fully reopen by the end of June."
However, with the number of coronavirus cases still rising, more films could be displaced from the first half of the year, said Eric Handler, managing director of media and entertainment equity research at MKM Partners.
"I think it is inevitable that many films in [the first quarter] and even a good number in [the second quarter] are going to get pushed back," he said.
As a result, Handler forecasts that the first-quarter box office will fall more than 90% from last year. The second quarter is likely to rebound slightly to be down between 50% and 60%, he said.
Already analysts are speculating about which films will be the next to shift. For Shawn Robbins, chief analyst at Boxoffice.com, the newest James Bond flick, "No Time to Die," is a likely candidate.
"It is a golden egg for MGM, a studio that doesn't have the deep slate of a Disney or Universal to bank on," he said. "James Bond is a significant [intellectual property] with global implications and needs to be handled very delicately."
"No Time to Die" has seen several delays. It was first pushed from its November 2019 release when Danny Boyle, who was supposed to write and direct the film, left the project. It bounced between a few dates before landing a release in April 2020. However, the coronavirus pandemic pushed it to November 2020 and then to April 2021.
Robbins also noted that Paramount's "A Quiet Place II," a sequel to the hit horror-thriller from director John Krasinski, as well as Disney's "Black Widow," its first theatrical Marvel film release since 2019, are also on that list.
The second "Quiet Place" was originally set for release in March 2020, but was pushed to September of that year due to the pandemic. It was moved again to April 2021. Similarly, "Black Widow" jumped to November 2020 from its original May date and then was postponed again to May 2021.
"With a new government administration incoming, much of Hollywood is probably looking to see if the vaccine delays up to this point can be mostly corrected during late winter and early spring," Robbins said. "That may yet play a deciding factor in whether or not summer movie season is targeted to begin in early May, or perhaps is pushed back to the June-July-August corridor."
Studios have options for these releases beyond simply delaying them. Warner Bros. has already made its entire 2021 slate day-and-date, which means all its movies will arrive in theaters and on HBO Max on the same day. Disney, too, plans to release "Raya and the Last Dragon" in theaters and for $30 on Disney+ on March 5.
"With the current state of the union, I'd say there's a 95% chance 'Black Widow' follows in the footsteps of 'Mulan' and 'Raya,'" said Jeff Bock, senior analyst at Exhibitor Relations.
"Hopefully, next fall will be a more normalized environment for movies to return full tilt to theaters," he said. "Until then, it's the wild Wild West."

Des mesures incitatives pour éviter aux salariés les transports en commun ou financer la garde d’enfants facilitent la transition.

Des mesures incitatives pour éviter aux salariés les transports en commun ou financer la garde d’enfants facilitent la transition.
Les quarante employés de 1Huddle Inc. ont découvert leurs nouveaux bureaux à Newark, près de New York en septembre 2020. « Les jeunes employés de la génération Z avaient besoin de rencontrer leurs chefs, explique Sam Caucci, le fondateur de cette start-up technologique, experte en formations par le jeu. Ils venaient juste de sortir de l’université. Certains vivaient encore chez leurs parents, ce qui n’est pas l’idéal pour travailler chez soi. Et ils avaient du mal à gérer leur temps, ils n’ont pas encore la discipline des salariés plus matures. » M. Caucci a donc organisé le retour au bureau, dans un espace plus grand, différent de ce qu’il avait imaginé au départ.
Pour rassurer ses troupes, la climatisation a été doublée, le nettoyage s’est intensifié et les grandes salles de réunion ont été remplacées par des lieux de rencontre pour deux à trois personnes, disposant de télé, caméra et microphone dernier cri. Le design des meubles a changé. Initialement, M.Caucci avait commandé des petites tables rondes. Elles ont été remplacées par de longues tables de pique-nique où l’on s’assoit loin les uns des autres. Et les canapés ont laissé la place à des fauteuils mobiles. L’esprit start-up est toujours là. On boit et l’on mange ensemble souvent. Mais on utilise des tasses jetables et des snacks sous cellophane.
Les longs mois de vie au temps du coronavirus ont forcé les entreprises en tous genres à revoir leur approche du travail collectif. Le bureau est toujours nécessaire pour les médias, l’édition, certaines industries high tech dont les équipements essentiels ne peuvent être rangés dans le cloud. En plus, « la collaboration à distance est difficile », souligne la consultante Carrie Duarte, experte en travail du futur chez PwC. Et de citer un sondage réalisé en juin, selon lequel 39 % des salariés avouent avoir du mal à travailler en équipe, loin de leurs collègues. « C’est la raison numéro un invoquée pour aller au bureau », assure-t-elle.
Convaincre le plus possible
Mais ce retour se fait à petits pas. L’enquête menée en octobre 2020 par l’agence Partnership for New York City auprès des grands employeurs de Manhattan montre qu’à l’été 2020, seulement 8 % des salariés avaient retrouvé leurs locaux, 10 % à l’automne. Et l’on espère 48 % en juillet 2021. Pour convaincre, il faut employer un gant de velours. Bank of America (211 000 employés) prévient ainsi ses employés d’un éventuel retour un mois à l’avance et leur promet toutes les précautions sanitaires.

Dr. Fauci warns Covid variant found in South Africa could pose threat to antibody drugs

A mutated and more infectious coronavirus strain first identified in South Africa is "disturbing" and could pose a threat to antibody treatments that are used to prevent people from falling seriously ill from Covid-19, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said Tuesday.
New coronavirus strains first identified in the United Kingdom and South Africa have caused some concerns among scientists who say the mutated variants are highly infectious, though they don't appear to be any deadlier compared with previous strains.
So far, health experts have said there's no evidence the mutations alter the effectiveness of current vaccines. However, there's some concern that the variant found in South Africa, known as 501Y.V2, might be more resistant to monoclonal antibodies, which have helped some people fight the virus when administered early on in their infection.
Through discussions with health experts in South Africa, Fauci said preliminary data shows there's "more of a threat" the strain would evade some of the protections antibody treatments provide.
"It could be having some impact on protection for the monoclonal antibodies and perhaps even for the vaccine. We don't know that," Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during a Q&A session at Schmidt Futures' Forum on Preparedness.
He added that researchers in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health and across the country are quickly trying to determine the possible impact of the strain found in South Africa.
"People ask me, 'Are you worried about it?' These are not the kind of things I worry about, but it's the kind of thing that I take very seriously," Fauci said.
As viruses spread, they're expected to mutate over time as the spikes on their surfaces change, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says. The 501Y.V2 variant gets its name from the N501Y mutation found in the spike protein that the virus uses to gain entry into cells within the body.
This mutation is also seen in the variant U.K. health authorities identified in December, known as B.1.1.7. While both variants found in the U.K. and South Africa shared the N501Y mutation, they are different, according to the World Health Organization.
Fauci has previously said the mutated Covid-19 variations could pose a risk to the coronavirus therapeutics. Unlike vaccines, which trigger an immune response that attacks different parts of the virus, monoclonal antibodies target a very specific component, Fauci told California Gov. Gavin Newsom in late December.
Eli Lilly Chairman and CEO Dave Ricks told CNBC earlier Tuesday that he expects the company's monoclonal antibody treatment to be effective against the variant found in the U.K., though the one in South Africa could pose more challenges. Eli Lilly's drug was given emergency authorization in the U.S. in November and was followed by another drug from Regeneron.
"The South African variant ... is the one of concern. It has more dramatic mutations to that spike protein, which is the target" of these antibody drugs, Ricks said on "Squawk Box." "Theoretically, it could evade our medicines."
The CDC has yet to identify any strains of the 501Y.V2 variant in the United States, though the agency has found at least 72 cases with the B.1.1.7 strain found in the U.K. as of Monday, according to data from the CDC.

Coronavirus: niente sesso, siamo inglesi. In Lockdown

LONDRA. Niente sesso, siamo inglesi? Dal 3 gennaio il Regno Unito è di nuovo in lockdown totale (il terzo) contro il dilagante Coronavirus, le maglie delle restrizioni potrebbero stringersi sempre di più e questo è un problema anche per i single: chi rispetta le regole ha ridotto cospicuamente la sua attività sessuale negli ultimi mesi. Tanto che un quarto dei britannici non ricorderebbe nemmeno l’ultima volta che ha fatto sesso.
A sostenerlo è uno studio dell’azienda di salute sessuale britannica MysteryVibe, che ha condotto un sondaggio su 10mila persone in Regno Unito. C’è chi parla di “recessione sessuale”, oltre che economica: un terzo degli interpellati ha dichiarato di aver fatto meno sesso nel 2020 rispetto al 2019 e lo stesso il 40% delle donne, che dunque sembrano maggiormente colpite da questa condizione. Ma soprattutto il 25% dei britannici sostiene di non aver fatto mai sesso nel 2020 a causa delle problematiche in atto nella lotta al Covid e dell’ansia che queste possono generare.
Le cose potrebbero presto complicarsi ancora di più: il governo sta pensando di aumentare i divieti per cercare di contenere l’avanzata della “variante inglese” del Coronavirus e di eliminare le “support bubbles”, ovvero la “bolla di sostegno” che tutti i single e le persone anziane che vivono da sole possono stringere con un’altra persona o altro nucleo familiare, fisso e non intercambiabile. Una misura per permettere di aiutare chi ha bisogno di assistenza ma che quando venne annunciata all’inizio della scorsa estate era stata considerata anche come la fine del “sex ban”, ovvero del divieto di sesso: perché un single ancora oggi può vedersi liberamente con un’altra persona (sempre la stessa però), all’esterno e all’interno, formando una “bolla".
Tuttavia la “support bubble” potrebbe essere presto sacrificata. Perché la crisi del Coronavirus in Regno Unito è arrivata nel suo momento più difficile e drammatico e il governo sta facendo il possibile per fermare la corsa dei contagi e il conseguente boom di ricoveri per Covid: gli ospedali britannici “sono nel momento più difficile della loro storia”, dicono la massima autorità medica del governo, il prof. Chris Whitty, e gli altri responsabili della Sanità pubblica. Gli ospedali rischiano di essere travolti di pazienti per Covid entro pochi giorni, tanto che a Londra il sindaco Khan ha dichiarato emergenza, come aveva fatto per la strage della Grenfell Tower e l’attentato terroristico dell’Isis sul London Bridge nel 2017. Il prof. Marcel Levi, a capo degli University College Hospitals, è drammatico: «Di questo passo, saremo costretti in alcune strutture a curare solo pazienti Covid». Che nella capitale, dove la situazione è allarmante oramai crescono di 800 al giorno. Sbaragliato il picco di ricoveri di aprile (19mila): ora siamo a ben oltre 30mila, +60%.
Secondo gli esperti, oggi un residente su 30 a Londra ha il Coronavirus. Non solo. La settimana scorsa 1,2 milioni di persone in Inghilterra si sono infettate. Negli ultimi giorni giorni sono morte oltre mille persone con il Covid ogni 24 ore: ieri domenica 563, ma perché il computo domenicale è sempre inferiore essendo weekend. Totale dei decessi dall’inizio della pandemia: 81.143. E i nuovi casi sono da giorni sopra i 50mila quotidiani (su 500mila test). Nel governo c’è chi teme che nelle prossime due settimane si possa toccare la mostruosa cifra di 2mila morti al giorno, prima di vedere gli effetti del lockdown in corso. Ieri vicino a Epsom, nel Surrey, 170 cadaveri di persone morte per Covid sono state trasferite provvisoriamente in un centro della Difesa perché gli obitori sono stracolmi. Una scena che ricorda quelle terribili di Bergamo lo scorso marzo.
Secondo uno studio citato oggi dal Guardian, una persona su cinque, ossia almeno 12,4 milioni di persone, hanno o hanno già avuto il virus in Inghilterra. Nei quartieri orientali londinesi di Dagenham e Barking, falcidiati dalla variante inglese del virus, si stima che addirittura il 50% degli abitanti abbia contratto il Coronavirus dall’inizio della pandemia e che attualmente sia infettata una persona su venti in quelle aree. Per questo non c’è tempo da perdere e il governo vuole vaccinare quante più persone possibili al più presto, distanziando la prima e la seconda dose fino a 12 settimane e fornendo un’immunità dunque limitata ma al momento vitale. Una decisione che ha provocato scetticismo e polemiche, anche dalle stesse case farmaceutiche come Pfizer, che non hanno mai sperimentato una finestra così ampia per il richiamo del vaccino. Un azzardo che fa capire quanto disperata sia la situazione oltremanica. Oggi il ministro della Salute Hancock svelerà il maxi piano delle vaccinazioni: due milioni già vaccinati, 15 milioni entro metà febbraio, tutta la popolazione entro l’autunno. Per, si spera, poter iniziare a dire addio a quest’incubo che sta martoriando il Regno Unito e il mondo.

Odsonne Edouard could be set to leave Celtic in a cut-price deal this month.
Celtic forward and reported Arsenal target Odsonne Edouard is being tracked by Leicester City ahead of a possible transfer approach this month. The Frenchman has been linked with a move away from Parkhead for some time, but could finally leave the defending Scottish champions within the next few weeks amid their dismal run of league form.
Celtic were forced to settle for a draw against Hibernian on Monday evening, with Kevin Nisbet's late equaliser leaving the Glasgow giants 21 points adrift of bitter rivals and Scottish Premiership leaders Rangers.Arsenal were tipped to land Edouard over the summer, but Celtic's £40million asking price prevented a deal from being completed.Reports of the north London club's interest have resurfaced in recent weeks after the 22-year-old became a client of The Stellar Group, the agency that helped to arrange Kieran Tierney's move to the Gunners in 2019, earlier this season.However, Arsenal will face stiff competition from Leicester in the race for his signature, according to the Daily Mail.

The Foxes are in the market for a striker this month, with Islam Slimani set to join Lyon subject to the completion of a medical on Tuesday.Both Leicester and Arsenal have been handed a recent boost in the chase for Edouard, with Celtic lowering their asking price by a staggering £15m as they look to speed up his departure from the club.Football Insider has claimed that the Hoops are now willing to accept a bid in the region of £25m for the forward this month, after conceding that they are unlikely to command a club-record fee given their lack of success this season.Celtic boss Neil Lennon hinted in November that he was unsure about Edouard's future, revealing that his head was turned by the speculation during pre-season.
"Listen, he’s a human being and he’s still young at 22 and there has been a lot of interest or speculation – whatever you want to call it – about him and there’s no question that it affected him and his performances," Lennon told The Scotsman.“When he comes back [from youth international duty] we’ll sit down, have a good discussion with him and hopefully he’ll kick on and get back to his best.“What we have with Odsonne is an outstanding, talented player and it’s up to us now to try and get the best out of him again.“There are huge games coming up, ones in which he can inspire the team. We know what he’s capable of and we understand why his recent form hasn’t been as good.”

Markets are looking everywhere for inflation as yields rise, CPI on deck Wednesday

With the sharp move higher in interest rates, markets have been on the lookout for inflation creeping up.
So Wednesday's December CPI report will be important even if it still shows a muted rise in the consumer price index. According to Dow Jones, economists expect an increase of 0.4% month over month, and 1.3% year over year. Core CPI, less food and energy, is expected to be up 0.1% or 1.6% year over year, versus 0.2% and 1.6% in November.
The rapid move higher in bond yields since the start of the year has been accompanied by rising inflation expectations. The 10-year breakeven, a bond market instrument for inflation expectations, was at 2.07% Tuesday, suggesting investors expect inflation to average that level for the next 10 years. It was as high as 2.11% last week.
"I do think inflation is a real game changer should it occur. That certainly is why rates are rising," Jeff Gundlach, Doubleline Capital CEO, said on CNBC this week. He said he expects CPI to reach 3% by May or June.
Covid-19 has had a unique impact on inflation. Prices fell sharply when the economy shut down last year, and there's been an uneven impact on the economy and prices. Rents, for instance, have fallen sharply, but home prices are rising. Strategists said while service-sector prices are depressed, goods prices are rising.
"Once you get to March, April, May, you'll start to get easy comparisons. You'll see 3% inflation," said Peter Boockvar, chief investment officer at Bleakley Advisory Group. "I think the pressures are building, and that's going to be the key story for 2021."
Rising interest rates have already sent a chill through some Big Tech and growth stocks, so the stock market could be sensitive to any pickup in inflation. One factor behind the increase in yields is the expectation that inflation will pick up as the economy reopens and as the government stimulus funds work through the economy.
Since the start of January, the 10-year Treasury yield climbed almost 25 basis points, to as high as 1.18% Tuesday, before it fell back to 1.14%. "I guess we're not prepared for a big inflation number tomorrow," said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at MUFG. "Inflation is supposed to be up a little, but it's basically gasoline prices at the pump went up. ... Whatever inflation there is is likely to be strictly energy-related, and Fed Chairman [Jerome] Powell said they're not going to respond."
Rupkey said there could also be some goods inflation, resulting from consumers getting home deliveries instead of shopping in stores.
Frustrated by a lack of inflation for years, the Fed changed its inflation policy so that it now targets an average range instead of its 2% target. That means inflation could rise above that 2% level, but the Fed wouldn't change policy unless it persisted at a higher rate.
"Somehow inflation has been put on the back burner of Fed concerns. They've all kind of moved to full employment as a key indicator," said Rupkey. Rates strategists said the market is already full of speculation that, though far in the future, a pop in inflation could drive rates higher and ultimately prompt the Fed to move its own zero fed funds target rate.
"I think the market is sort of struggling with the potential negative of higher rates on one hand, and what that can do to compress multiples, but on the other hand, telling themselves rates are rising because we have the rollout of the vaccine, and therefore stay positive on risk assets," said Boockvar. "It's like a tug of war."
"I think inflation is the worst nightmare of inflated asset prices ... for high multiple stocks, inflation is not their friend," he said.
St. Louis Fed President James Bullard on Tuesday acknowledged prices should rise later this year. "Inflation looks set to move higher amid rising price pressure expectations," he said in an interview, noting he expects more inflation in 2021 and 2022.
"I'll repeat again my belief that the Fed will finally get the inflation they've been yearning for and then some, in spite of their policies, and they will eventually regret what they've been wishing for as will the bond market and anything priced off it," said Boockvar.
The CPI report will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The Senate's new top banking regulator wants to hear from bank CEOs more often

Sen. Sherrod Brown — Wall Street's incoming regulator in a Democratic Senate — on Tuesday outlined his priorities for the U.S. economy and the financial industry in the coming months.
Brown was quick to say that the Senate Banking Committee's chief concern will continue to be addressing the economic fallout caused by the Covid-19 crisis by working with the Federal Reserve to provide liquidity to small businesses and protecting access to housing for everyday Americans.
A longtime advocate of affordable housing, Brown said his tenure as incoming committee chairman will be marked by a focus on workers and families instead of the corporate tilt seen under Republican leadership.
"This committee in the past has been about Wall Street. As chair, I'm going to make it about workers and their families and what matters to their lives," Brown said during a media briefing. "Under Senate Republicans, we've had government intervention to put its thumb on the scale for corporations at every turn."
"We're going to change that," he continued. "We're going to take on the corporate business model that treats workers as expendable. We're going to put the dignity of work at the center of everything we do in this committee."
Asked if he would seek to revive the Fed's emergency lending powers under Section 13(3) of the Federal Reserve Act, the senator said he would wait for guidance from President-elect Joe Biden and his nominee for Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen.
Debate over the fate of the Fed's lending powers threatened to derail stimulus talks in December after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin decided to let the central bank's programs end on Dec. 31.
"This is up to President Biden, what he wants to do with 13(3)," Brown said. "I talk to [Fed Chair] Jay Powell regularly ... and I think he will be happy with this new Biden proposal, this economic proposal, because it will put more money into the economy."
The senior U.S. senator from Ohio said the committee will also differ in the new Congress in recognizing the impact of climate change and in tailoring transportation policy to reduce carbon emissions.
He added that the committee will place a greater emphasis on income inequality and work to mitigate race-based economic disparities by restoring the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau "to full strength."
Banks: 'The more we hear from them, the better'
Brown is also widely expected to try to ramp up oversight of the financial sector, a forecast the senator didn't shy away from on Tuesday.
Brown, a reliable and well-versed critic of banks' power, suggested he would like to hear from the CEOs of Wall Street's largest lenders on a more routine basis. He effectively promised greater oversight of the private equity industry and said that he is assuming there will be associated legislation.
"I'm not suggesting that CEOs of U.S. banks, of Wall Street banks, I'm not suggesting they're Deutsche Bank," the senator said, referring to the myriad probes the German bank has faced from U.S. and U.K. regulators.
"But I am suggesting that they have a lot of power and we need to know more about how they do their business," he added. "The more we hear from them, the better."
Though Brown promised a more rigorous regulatory body, industry analysts say a razor-thin Democratic majority in the chamber will likely prevent dramatic legislative moves championed by the party's progressive wing.
Two runoff elections in Georgia earlier in January led to Democratic wins, resulting in a 50-50 split of the Senate. The incoming vice president, Sen. Kamala Harris, holds the tiebreaking vote.
That, coupled with the fact that banks aren't to blame for the current economic downturn, has actually left some in the industry optimistic about working together with Brown and his Democratic colleagues on prudent but not overly aggressive tweaks to bank regulation.
Brown also discussed the Fed's latest stress tests, which concluded that the nation's big banks are in solid shape. In announcing the results of the tests, the Fed said in December that it will allow Wall Street banks to resume share buybacks in the first quarter of 2021 subject to certain rules.
Though Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles said at the time that he thought the results showed continued strength in the banking sector, Brown remains skeptical.
"I'm not convinced that these banks are in as good shape as these stress tests suggest. Not that the stress tests aren't accurate, not that the stress tests aren't tough ... but I also am not at all convinced," he said.
"I am not panicky, I'm not alarmed. [But] I am concerned that these stress tests may not take into account what could happen with the economy because of Covid," he added. "And because I think many of these banks, I think, don't hold enough capital."

Stock futures little changed as Wall Street awaits clarity from Washington

U.S. stock index futures were little changed in overnight trading on Tuesday, after a session that saw stocks alternate between gains and losses.
Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 20 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures each declined 0.09%.
Stocks closed little changed on Tuesday as traders digested higher rates, possible additional stimulus measures and political turmoil.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 60 points, or 0.2%, to 31,068.69. The Nasdaq Composite ended the day up 0.3% and the S&P 500 rose slightly to 3,801.19. Meanwhile, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury briefly traded at 1.18%, its highest level since March.
Given the rise, Credit Suisse recommended that investors favor pro-cyclical sectors, including financials and energy. Rising rates could hurt growth stocks, however, and a number of tech heavyweights including Facebook and Apple declined during Tuesday's session.
Expectations for additional fiscal stimulus is one of the reasons behind the steady move higher in yields. President-elect Joe Biden is expected to release details on his economic plan on Thursday.
"At a minimum, even a USD 500bn fiscal package consisting of additional stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, and funding for healthcare and vaccine disbursement will be another boost to economic growth in 2021," noted Jason Draho, UBS Global Wealth Management head of Americas asset allocation.
Following Tuesday's muted session, the major averages remain lower for the week after Monday's slide. The Nasdaq Composite is the relative underperformer, down roughly 1% over the last two sessions. Small caps are, however, a bright spot, and the Russell 2000 is up 1.7% so far this week.
The moves come as turmoil in Washington continues. The Democratic-held House will vote Tuesday night on a resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to push Trump out of the White House.
Covid cases also continue to increase in the U.S. and abroad. The U.S. is recording at least 248,650 new Covid-19 cases and at least 3,223 virus-related deaths each day, based on a seven-day average calculated by CNBC using Johns Hopkins University data.
Still, many say the U.S. is poised to return to growth later this year.
"In 2021, the U.S. economy should experience strong tailwinds from additional fiscal and monetary stimulus coupled with an end to the pandemic's impact on the economy," said Brent Schutte, chief investment strategist for Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management. "Pent-up demand in industries impacted by COVID-19 ... and a needed inventory rebuild should further spur job growth," he added.
Taken together, Schutte said this sets the stage for above-average economic growth, and he sees stocks climbing to new highs.

Per la Cia Biden sceglie Burns, il veterano della diplomazia Usa

WASHINGTON - Il nuovo capo dell'intelligence americana che prenderà il posto di Gina Haspel è William Burns. Joe Biden lunedi ha nominato il capo della Cia. Ex ambasciatore in Russia e Giordania e vice segretario di Stato con l'amministrazione Obama, Burns ha alle spalle 33 anni di carriera diplomatica e di posizionamento ai vertici di Washington. Di lui Atlantic scrisse: "Burns è l'arma segreta diplomatica" da usare nelle questioni più spinose di politica estera.
In pensione dal 2014, Burns è tornato a far parlare di sé l'anno scorso, quando ha iniziato a scrivere articoli molto critici sull'amministrazione Trump. Soprattutto per quello che riguardava il rapporto con Mosca. Alla Cbs disse che l'atteggiamento di Trump verso Putin era un segno di debolezza e che il presidente aveva contribuito a peggiorare la diplomazia Usa dai tempi della Guerra Fredda.
"Bill Burns è un diplomatico esemplare con decenni di esperienza sulla scena mondiale nel tentativo di mantenere la nostra gente e il nostro Paese al sicuro'', ha detto Biden per l'occasione. "Condivide la mia profonda convinzione che l'intelligence debba essere apolitica. L'ambasciatore Burns porterà la conoscenza, il giudizio e la prospettiva di cui abbiamo bisogno per prevenire e affrontare le minacce prima che possano raggiungere le nostre coste. Il popolo americano dormirà sonni tranquilli con lui come nostro prossimo direttore della Cia. ''

Paul Pogba's strike sealed an important win for Manchester United at Burnley.

Paul Pogba's strike sealed an important win for Manchester United at Burnley.
Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba insisted that there is still a 'long way' to go in the Premier League title race after his goal helped the Red Devils to a narrow victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on Tuesday evening. The Frenchman's volley in the second half sealed all three points for the visitors, sending United top of the Premier League table ahead of Sunday's opponents Liverpool.
The 20-time champions have established themselves as title contenders once again this season after a slow start to the campaign.United hit their stride in December after the disappointment of their early Champions League group stage exit, and have continued their strong form into the new year, registering seven wins from their last seven Premier League outings with the victory over Burnley.Pogba revealed after the final whistle that although he was pleased with the result, the Red Devils will need to keep their form up for the entire second half of the season if they are to challenge for their first domestic crown since 2013."We know that the game today was very hard, very difficult and obviously we wanted to win," Pogba told Sky Sports."We know it's not easy to play here. We got the three points and we're happy for that but there's still a long way and now we focus again until the end of the season."
JUST IN: Premier League table: Latest standings as Man Utd go top
The match at Turf Moor was, like many top flight games this season, shrouded in VAR controversy with a number of first-half incidents taking centre stage.
United skipper Harry Maguire controversially saw a first-half goal ruled out for an apparent foul on Erik Pieters despite protests from the visitors."It was a goal for sure - I don't know what happened," Pogba said of the incident. "It was a beautiful goal and the referee decided that it was not. It was a strange decision but we got the result we wanted so we're happy."
It appeared at times as if United were not getting the rub of the green, but regardless they managed to claim three points and send a huge warning to their Merseyside rivals ahead of their upcoming title showdown.
Pogba revealed that United's game plan was to simply remain patient in their play with the hope of eventually seeing a reward for their efforts."You can see that the game was going both ways, it's very hard to play here," he added."They have a style of play, very strong and we knew it would be difficult. We had to keep our heads calm and just focus on ourselves and hope the goal would come and it did come. It was a great performance from everyone, good focus."[I'm] always happy when I win - today we won and I'm happy we played well. Still a long way to go and we have big games to go so we have to focus on that."

Stocks are struggling to break through to fresh records set last week, but one Oppenheimer analyst sees a renewed push higher sooner than later.
Ari Wald, head of technical analysis at the firm, said multiple technical indicators suggest underlying strength in the market.
"Having a bullish outlook has become somewhat consensus here but we think it's consensus for the right reasons. Our indicators are decidedly positive," Wald said Monday on CNBC's "Trading Nation."
Wald, for example, points to the number of companies on the New York Stock Exchange that have hit 52-week highs as one signal that suggests more gains to come. That measure rose to 337 last week.
"That was the highest count since December of 2016. The market typically does better when there's more stocks participating. That is what's happening," said Wald. "This is the part of the bull cycle where the index transitions from volatile base building, that was last year, to a steadier uptrend very much like 2017."
Michael Binger, president of Gradient Investments, said the fundamental tail winds this year also support the technical bull case.
"Vaccine logistics will get worked out and the case count of coronavirus will get better. You layer on top of that a government that is now committed to stimulus and a [Federal Reserve] that's committed to low rates. I think these two things lead us to believe that the consensus earnings forecasts for 2021 and 2022 are too low," said Binger.
S&P 500 earnings are expected to rise by 23% in 2021, according to FactSet estimates, and another 17% in 2022.
He adds that there is likely still cash waiting on the sidelines that should funnel into the stock market over the course of 2021.
"Even though stocks are expensive, the market doesn't correct usually because of valuation. As long as the incremental news flow is a little better and more positive, I think stocks can grind higher in 2021," said Binger.

Manchester United have gone top of Premier League table after their 1-0 win over Burnley. But when was the last time they were there?
Manchester United moved three points clear at the top of the Premier League after a Paul Pogba's strike gave them a 1-0 win at Burnley on Tuesday night. The victory, in the re-arranged match, put United on 36 points from 17 games ahead of the clash with second-placed Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.
The breakthrough came in the 71st minute when Marcus Rashford sent in a ball from the right.
Pogba arrived in the box to volley towards goal, with a slight deflection off Burnley defender Matt Lowton beating the wrong-footed Nick Pope.
"It's very hard to play here," said the United midfielder.
"They have a style of play, very strong and we knew it would be difficult.

"We had to keep our heads calm and just focus on ourselves and hope the goal would come and it did come. It was a great performance from everyone, good focus.
"There is still a long way to go and we have big games to go so we have to focus on that."
United moved top of the Premier League for the first time since September 2017.
Barring one day in a false first position - after beating Leicester in the season-opening Friday night fixture on August 10, 2018 - they have been waiting more than three years to look down on the rest of the division.
This is also the first time United have been top of the league after 17 games since December 2012.
They went on to win their 20th league title that season as Sir Alex Ferguson bowed out.
After a tough first-half at Turf Moor, United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was pleased with the way his side responded after the interval.

"It is our job to calm them down and focus on the things we can control and I thought in the second half we did that," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.
"Then you expect the onslaught for the final five minutes, but we held on."
Asked about Pogba's contribution, he added: "I have always said Paul is a big, big player for us.
"He is a good character in the dressing room, he is always one who the lads look to, he is a world champion of course and we are seeing the best of Paul at the moment.
"He is getting better and better every game, he has been injured and got Covid, it is just natural he needed some time to get fit."
Manchester United can extend their lead at the top to six points with a win at Liverpool on Sunday.
Two their last three league meetings between the sides have ended in a draw.
However, the Reds won the last meeting at Anfield 2-0.

Im kommenden Jahr startet die 15. Documenta. Die Kunstausstellung präsentiert sich anders als die stark kritisierte Vorgängerschau. Doch was genau Kunstbesucher 2022 in Kassel erwartet, bleibt nebulös.
Verschränkte Hände, Seile und viel Farbe - seit Mitte Dezember ist die documenta 15 im Kasseler Stadtbild deutlich sichtbar. An der Fassade eines früheren Kaufhauses geben Logos und Schriftzüge einen Vorgeschmack auf die 15. Ausgabe der weltweit bedeutendsten Ausstellung für moderne Kunst.
Das sogenannte Ruruhaus ist ein Standort der Schau im Jahr 2022 und soll bereits vorher Einblicke ermöglichen - wie zum Beispiel auf das visuelle Erscheinungsbild.
Dabei könnte der Kontrast der farbenfrohen und freundlichen Logos der documenta fifteen - so der offizielle Name - im Vergleich zur vergangenen Schau nicht größer sein: Die documenta 14 präsentierte sich nüchtern in Schwarz-Weiß. Der große Unterschied passt zum angekündigten Neustart der documenta. Denn mit ihrer Schau im Jahr 2017 war sie künstlerisch und wirtschaftlich in die Krise geraten. Die documenta 14 hinterließ ein Defizit von 7,6 Millionen Euro, das Konzept wurde als zu didaktisch und schwer verständlich kritisiert.
Es folgte der Umbau: Geschäftsführerin Annette Kulenkampff ging, Sabine Schormann wurde neue Generaldirektorin. Dass die künstlerische Leitung jeder Schau wechselt, ist documenta-Tradition. Dass mit der indonesischen Gruppe ruangrupa nun ein Künstlerkollektiv diese Aufgabe übernahm, sorgte aber für Aufsehen.
Trotzdem stand 2020 auch die documenta im Schatten von Corona. Die Pandemie behinderte die Organisation der Schau gerade wegen ihrer internationalen Ausrichtung. «Das Jahr 2020 mit seinen erschwerten Bedingungen hat auch uns einiges an Umdenken abverlangt», sagt Generaldirektorin Schormann. Man sei inzwischen zu Profis in weltweiten digitalen Meetings geworden. Trotz der Bedingungen sei die Planungen der documenta fifteen große Schritte vorangekommen: Das Erscheinungsbild stehe, Kulturkollektive und Künstler seien an Bord, ein Großteil der Ausstellungsstandorte gesichert.
Bekannt sind bisher das Museum Fridericianum, das Ruruhaus und die documenta-Halle. Von dort werde sich die Ausstellung unter anderem entlang des Flusses Fulda und in den von Industrie geprägten Osten der Stadt bewegen.
Spekulationen über eine Verschiebung der Schau hat Schormann eine Absage erteilt. Daher laufen 2021 die Vorbereitungen ungebremst weiter: «Wenn Corona uns keinen Strich durch die Rechnung macht, werden wir die Riege der Künstler*innen komplett machen, die künstlerischen Projekte zur Umsetzung und die Website an den Start bringen, erste Publikationen entwickeln und mit dem Gruppen- und dann auch dem Individualvorverkauf beginnen», sagt die Generaldirektorin. Zudem werde sich das Ruruhaus weiter entwickeln, andere Veranstaltungen seien in Planung.
Ein Geheimnis bleibt die Summe, die für die documenta fifteen zur Verfügung steht. Vor der vergangenen, defizitären Schau war das Budget auf 34 Millionen Euro beziffert worden. Der Aufsichtsratsvorsitzende, Kassels Oberbürgermeister Christian Geselle (SPD), versprach danach eine «auskömmliche Finanzierung». Schormann selbst antwortet auf die Frage nach dem Geld lediglich, dass es weiterhin beim avisierten Budget bleibe.
Jörg Sperling vom documenta-Forum sieht keine komplette Abkehr von der Vergangenheit: «Zunächst scheint alles wie ein Jahr vor jeder documenta: Nichts ist vom künstlerischen Konzept erkennbar, keine Künstler*innen sind bekannt, kaum ein Ausstellungsort wirklich konkret benannt», sagt der Vorsitzende des Vereins, den documenta-Gründer Arnold Bode ins Leben rief und der die Ausstellungen kritisch begleitet.
Sperling sieht dennoch Unterschiede zu vergangenen Vorbereitungsjahren. Das Grundkonzept von ruangrupa basiere insbesondere auf Kommunikation, Diskurs und nachhaltigen Perspektiven für Kunst und Kultur. «Die Corona-Bedingungen erschweren die Realisierung dieses Konzeptes.» Es werde zwar oft von kreativen Lösungen gesprochen, aber eine Ausstellungsplanung sei nicht erkennbar. Es sei immer noch die Frage offen, welche künstlerischen Produktionen der weltweiten Kunstszene das Grundkonzept erlebbar machten.
Dennoch freue er sich auf die Konkretisierung der «lumbung»-Aktivitäten. Das indonesische Wort bezeichnet eine Reisscheune, in der überschüssige Ernte zum Wohle der Gemeinschaft gelagert wird. Diese Idee will ruangrupa zur Grundlage der documenta machen. Sperling hofft, dass die nächste documenta am Ende aber auch eine klassische Ausstellung wird: «Ich wünsche mir, dass die documenta fifteen keine Digitalschwemme wird, sondern die originale Begegnung mit Kunst aus aller Welt zulässt.»
Die nächste documenta findet vom 18. Juni 2022 bis 25. September 2022 in Kassel statt.

"Yemen, Houthi nella lista dei terroristi", la richiesta di Pompeo al Congresso

Uno degli ultimi colpi di coda in politica estera dell'amministrazione Trump è stato appena assestato dal Segretario di Stato americano, Mike Pompeo, con l'iscrizione degli Houti sulla lista dei terroristi. Pompeo ha infatti annunciato che il Dipartimento di Stato notificherà al Congresso la sua volontà di designare il movimento yemenita come un'organizzazione terroristica. La misura è largamente simbolica e, a meno che il Congresso non blocchi la decisione, gli Houthi saranno messi nella lista nera il 19 gennaio, il giorno prima dell'insediamento del presidente eletto, Joe Biden, e dunque del passaggio di consegne con l'Amministrazione Trump.
Ma la mossa di Pompeo rischia di complicare gli sforzi di Biden per riaprire i canali diplomatici con l'Iran e rivedere l'alleanza con l'Arabia Saudita, che da anni conduce una sanguinosa offensiva contro il poverissimo Paese confinante; e potrebbe anche minare i tentativi di riportare la pace in Yemen e complicare gli sforzi per far fronte alla crisi umanitaria che gli operatori del settore definiscono "biblica". La guerra s'è rivelata un'enorme tragedia per la popolazione yemenita: secondo i dati dell'Onu, i combattimenti hanno provocato quasi 100 mila vittime, oltre 3 milioni di sfollati e una gravissima carestia.
I ribelli Houti che controllano la capitale dello Yemen e buona parte del suo territorio, hanno immediatamente condanno la decisione di Pompeo, dichiarando che risponderanno con i loro mezzi a questa provocazione. "Sono gli americani a essere all'origine del terrorismo, così come lo sono le azioni e la politica di Trump. Ogni loro decisione è condannabile e noi abbiamo il diritto di rispondere", ha scritto su Twitter un alto responsabile dei ribelli, Mohamed Ali al-Houthi. "Il nostro popolo se ne infischia di come ci considera Trump poiché è egli stesso complice nell'assassinio degli yemeniti".
Il capo della diplomazia americana Pompeo ha spiegato che la sua richiesta rientra tra gli sforzi di aumentare "la dissuasione contro le attività nefaste del regime iraniano", principale sostegno del gruppo dei ribelli yemeniti, e per aiutare la coalizione a guida saudita che li combatte, alleata di Washington. Tre leader Houti sono stati ugualmente iscritti sulla lista nera, tra i quali il loro capo, Abdel Malek al-Houthi.

House GOP chair Liz Cheney, two other Republican lawmakers will vote to impeach Trump

Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-ranking House Republican, said Tuesday she will vote to impeach President Donald Trump, as at least three GOP lawmakers will move to charge the president from their own party with high crimes and misdemeanors.
She is the highest-ranking Republican to call for the president's impeachment in the wake of Wednesday's deadly Capitol Hill riot, which Trump helped incite with lies and incendiary rhetoric.
Rep. John Katko, R-N.Y., earlier said he would support impeachment after the president stirred up a mob that attacked the Capitol last week while Congress counted President-elect Joe Biden's presidential win. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., later joined Cheney and Katko. The riot left five people, including a Capitol police officer, dead.
In a statement, Cheney said Trump "summoned this mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack."
"Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President," the Republican conference chair said. "The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."
The House plans to vote Wednesday on whether to charge Trump with high crimes and misdemeanors. Democrats have said they have enough votes to impeach the president for an unprecedented second time.
Once the House impeaches Trump, the Senate will decide whether to convict him. The chamber may not have time to vote to remove him from office before Biden takes office a week from Wednesday.
Even so, conviction in the Senate would prevent Trump from becoming president again.
The House Republicans revealed their stances as the New York Times reported that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has told associates he thinks Trump committed impeachable acts. The newspaper did not detail whether McConnell would vote to convict the president if the House sends articles of impeachment to the Senate, or whether he would urge Republicans to vote the same way.
More Republicans could join Cheney, Katko and Kinzinger in backing the effort. No House Republicans voted to impeach Trump in 2019 for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, breaks from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. The California Republican has opposed impeaching Trump. He and Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., both objected to counting Biden's certified election victories in Arizona and Pennsylvania after the attack on the Capitol.
Cheney is the daughter of former vice president and Defense Secretary Dick Cheney. He joined the nine other living Pentagon chiefs earlier this month in warning against involving the military in disputes over election results. The Washington Post op-ed came three days before the Capitol attack.
Trump earlier said Democrats' push to impeach him was dangerous and could spark more violence. Some of his Republican allies have argued the effort would hinder attempts to reduce tensions in the country.
Impeachment supporters have said Congress should not move on until they hold Trump accountable for his supporters' attempt to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power.
The impeachment article Democratic leaders have appeared to back, titled "Incitement of Insurrection," accuses Trump of committing high crimes and misdemeanors by encouraging an attack on a coequal branch of government. It says the president, by lying to his supporters about the election results for two months and then encouraging them to fight the outcome shortly before the invasion of the Capitol, helped to spur the riot.

Wie heißt die größte Insel der Welt? Die Antwort auf diese Frage war am Dienstagabend entscheidend.
Joko Winterscheidt hat seinen Job als Gastgeber der ProSieben-Sendung «Stiehl mir nicht die Show» verteidigt. Im Finale der am Dienstagabend ausgestrahlten Show gewann er gegen die Kandidatin Palina Rojinski.
Winterscheidt beantwortete die Frage nach der größten Insel der Welt zutreffend mit «Grönland». Rojinski hatte auf Australien getippt und sich anschließend von dem 41-Jährigen bluffen lassen, er liege falsch. Dadurch ging das Finale vorzeitig zu Ende. Zuvor waren nacheinander Elyas M’Barek, Wildcard-Gewinnerin Luisa und Moderatoren-Legende Thomas Gottschalk in der Show ausgeschieden.
Die Stars hatten trotz langjähriger Showerfahrung teils bemerkenswerte Blackouts. So verlegte Gottschalk den Tag der deutschen Wiedervereinigung auf den 1. Oktober 1989, M’Barek auf den 27. November 1989. Rojinski und die Kölnerin Luisa wussten die korrekte Antwort: 3. Oktober 1990.
Gottschalk holte immer wieder alte Anekdoten hervor, etwa wie Miley Cyrus sein Haus in den USA gekauft hatte: «Ich hatte so ein Gästehaus gegenüber, das hatte ich von einem Typen gekauft, der wegen seiner Allergien in die Wüste gezogen ist. (...) Dann wollte ich es verkaufen. Dann kam irgendein «Golden Girl Trust». Und da hab ich gedacht, da hat irgendein Vater für seine Tochter das gekauft.» Es habe sich herausgestellt, dass Cyrus es erworben habe.
Insgesamt fünf Mal tritt Winterscheidt gegen die drei Prominenten sowie einen Zuschauer oder eine Zuschauerin an. Die Kandidaten wollen ihm buchstäblich die Show stehlen. In den insgesamt neun Spielrunden pro Sendung entscheidet sich zunächst, wer gegen den Showmaster im Finale antritt. Verliert dort der Gastgeber Winterscheidt, wird der Gewinner zum Quizshow-Moderator der nächsten Ausgabe und kann die Show nach seinem Gutdünken umkrempeln. Währenddessen muss Joko dann als Kandidat darum kämpfen, seine eigene Show zurückzugewinnen.

Mehr als vier Monate nach Schüssen auf den Afroamerikaner Jacob Blake bei einem Polizeieinsatz in Kenosha wird gegen keinen beteiligten Polizeibeamten Anklage erhoben werden. Das erklärte der zuständige Staatsanwalt Michael Graveley am Dienstag im Hinblick auf das Recht der Beamten auf Selbstverteidigung. Der weiße Polizist Rusten S. hatte Blake bei einem Einsatz am 23. August vergangenen Jahres sieben Mal in den Rücken geschossen. Der damals 29 Jahre alte Blake überlebte schwer verletzt und ist seither gelähmt. Die Schüsse auf Blake hatten in Kenosha zu Protesten und Ausschreitungen geführt.
Graveley erklärte, nach geltender Rechtslage, insbesondere dem Recht des Polizisten auf Selbstverteidigung, wäre eine Verurteilung vor einem Gericht sehr unwahrscheinlich gewesen. Der Polizist S. habe bei dem Einsatz befürchtet, dass Blake ihn mit einem Messer angreifen würde und habe daher geschossen. Die Polizisten seien wegen eines Streits an den Tatort gerufen worden und hätten auch gewusst, dass es einen bestehenden Haftbefehl gegen Blake gegeben habe.
In der Stadt im Bundesstaat Wisconsin waren nach den Schüssen auf Blake schwere Proteste ausgebrochen, es kam auch zu Ausschreitungen. Der Fall ereignete sich in einem bereits aufgeheizten politischen Klima, denn nur etwa drei Monate vorher war in Minneapolis im Bundesstaat Minnesota der Afroamerikaner George Floyd bei einem brutalen Polizeieinsatz getötet worden. Floyds Tod führte landesweit zu anhaltenden Protesten gegen Polizeigewalt und Rassismus. Der Stadtrat von Kenosha stimmte am Montag angesichts befürchteter Proteste vorab einer befristeten Notstandserklärung zu, die nun für acht Tage gilt.
Gouverneur Tony Evers erklärte, er habe die Entsendung von 500 Mitgliedern der Nationalgarde nach Kenosha genehmigt. Die Soldaten werden dabei helfen, örtliche Einsatzkräfte zu unterstützen, das Recht zu sicheren Protesten zu gewährleisten sowie die Infrastruktur zu schützen, wie der Gouverneur erklärte.

Trump’s business prospects just got dimmer as Wall Street backs away from tarnished brand

More than two decades ago, Donald Trump the New York developer found refuge at Deutsche Bank after a syndicate of lenders, including predecessor firms to JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, cut ties with him.
Now, after followers of President Trump laid siege to the U.S. Capitol in a riot that caused at least five deaths last week, even Deutsche Bank wants nothing to do with him.
The moves by Wall Street institutions to distance themselves from Trump make his transition to a post-presidency life much harder. Deutsche Bank has been Trump's primary business lender since the 1990s and is owed about $340 million in three loans, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
When those loans come due in 2023 and 2024, Trump will have to repay them in full or find another institution to lend him the money. He cannot refinance with Deutsche, which had been looking at cutting ties with Trump even before the horrific events of Jan. 6, said the person, who declined to be identified speaking about private matters.
"The Trump brand has been severely tarnished; he's toxic from a public relations standpoint," said Mark Williams, a Boston University finance lecturer and former Federal Reserve examiner. "His lifeblood has been his ability to borrow money for leveraged transactions. As soon as that dries up, it will put a lot more financial stress on him."
When his relationship with Deutsche began, Trump was merely a well-known real estate developer. The bank hadn't anticipated his pivot to politics, and when Trump asked Deutsche for a loan of at least tens of millions of dollars during the 2016 Republican primaries, the bank refused, according to the person.
Internally, the bank's risk committee had been weighing how to disentangle itself from Trump, Reuters reported in early November. The bank considered offloading his loans to other parties, but that would likely require signoff from Trump himself. The events at the Capitol were the final straw for Deutsche, the person said.
Still, the bank has never lost money on Trump, at least not yet, according to the person. If Trump defaults on his loans, Deutsche can seize the golf courses and hotels secured by the mortgages, and if their value isn't sufficient to repay the debt, the bank can go after Trump personally, who guaranteed the loans, the person said.
Other institutions also stepped away from Trump after the Capitol siege: Signature Bank, a New York-area institution, has called for Trump to resign and said it was closing two personal accounts where Trump kept about $5.3 million. A spokeswoman says the bank won't do business "with any members of Congress who voted to disregard the Electoral College." The New York Times first reported news of the two lenders stepping away from the president.
Trump also had deposit accounts at JPMorgan and Capital One, according to 2019 disclosures. Both banks declined to comment.
For Trump, finding a new place to deposit his cash will be relatively simple; it will be harder to find a bank willing to lend him massive amounts of cash. Almost 30 years ago, bankruptcies at several Trump properties left banks with losses, and Deutsche was one of the only large institutions willing to work with him. A Trump organization representative didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
Of course, Trump the ex-president will have myriad ways to make money from the tens of millions of Americans who voted for him. While finding liquidity will be harder, there will be institutions willing to lend to him, for perhaps higher interest rates than Trump is accustomed to, according to Williams.
If not, there's another playbook that Trump can lean on.
"Presumably he'll do what he's done at least five times in his career, which is strategic bankruptcy," said William Black, associate professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Urban Outfitters shares tumbled Tuesday after the apparel retailer reported disappointing holiday sales and announced its current chief executive is set to depart at the end of the month.
Its stock dropped about 11% in after-hours trading, having closed the day up nearly 6%.
Urban Outfitters, which also owns the Anthropologie and Free People brands, said current CEO Trish Donnelly will be leaving, effective Jan. 31, to pursue another career opportunity. It has named Sheila Harrington, current CEO of Free People, as CEO of Urban Outfitters, and she will continue to oversee the Free People banner.
During the two-month period ended Dec. 31, Urban said its total company sales fell 8.4% from a year earlier, while same-store sales fell 9% due to declines in store traffic because of the Covid pandemic. Same-store sales track revenue both online and at stores open for at least 12 months.
Its online sales grew double digits, the company said, but that wasn't enough to offset the losses in its stores. Urban said sales were up 1% at Free People, down 8% at Urban Outfitters, and down 12% at Anthropologie.
In a virtual presentation at the annual ICR Conference Tuesday afternoon, CFO Frank Conforti explained the company kept its inventories light during the holidays, especially in stores, to avoid having to discount excess merchandise at the season. But this strategy might have backfired and hit store sales, Conforti said. "This may be the first time we experienced the negative impact due to our product model," he said.
Urban is also in the process of building another warehouse facility in Kansas, he said, to be able to meet the demand spike it is experiencing online, and it will open a temporary warehouse in the interim to help it with digital orders.
The company noted its same-store sales across the portfolio have "rebounded nicely" during January. However, it expects profits to be pressured during the fourth quarter due, in part, to heightened delivery and logistics expenses because of the surge it is experiencing online.
For the eleven-month period ended Dec. 31, Urban said its total net sales fell 14.3%, while same-store sales dropped 12% overall.
Also Tuesday, Urban named Gabrielle Conforti, its current chief merchandising officer, as president for Urban's North America division. Emma Wisden, current managing director for Urban's Europe division, will lead Urban's wholesale business, the company said.
Urban Outfitters shares had climbed almost 15% over the past 12 months, as of Tuesday's market close.

Visa abandons takeover of Plaid after DOJ raises antitrust concerns

Visa has ended its takeover efforts of Silicon Valley start-up Plaid about two months after the Department of Justice filed an antitrust lawsuit on grounds that it would limit competition in the payments industry.
The company said the decision to end the merger was mutual.
About a year ago, on Jan. 13, 2020, Visa announced that it planned on acquiring Plaid in a deal worth $5.3 billion — roughly double the start-up's last private valuation. The company's API software, often referred to as the "plumbing" behind fintech companies, lets start-ups connect to users' bank accounts. The company says it integrates with more than 11,000 banks.
Plaid CEO Zach Perret said in a statement the company will work with Visa as an investor and partner going forward.
The deal hit a snag late last year after the DOJ pointed out Visa's acquisition could eliminate a nascent competitive threat. The DOJ cited Visa CEO Al Kelly's description of the deal as an "insurance policy" to neutralize a "threat to our important US debit business."
The department argued at the time there was potential for the deal to extend a Visa "monopoly" on debit transactions, adding that it "must be stopped."
The DOJ said in a statement Tuesday that termination of the merger was "a victory for American consumers and small businesses."
The lawsuit symbolized a step that many tech critics say should have been taken by the Federal Trade Commission back when it was approving Facebook's acquisitions of Instagram in 2012 and WhatsApp in 2014.
Now, those mergers are re-entering public discussion. Late last year, the FTC and several states filed antitrust lawsuits against Facebook, alleging it used its market power to squash competitors before they could become true rivals to Facebook's empire. The suits suggest remedies that could include requiring Facebook to spin off those two businesses.

Walmart customers don't expect a speedy economic recovery, top executive says

Walmart Chief Customer Officer Janey Whiteside said Tuesday that many of its shoppers don't expect the economy to quickly bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic.
Almost half of customers surveyed in November told Walmart that they were worried about the current health of the economy, she said when speaking at the virtual National Retail Federation conference. She said 40% said they didn't expect "any kind of speedy recovery."
"Our core Walmart customer is absolutely not immune to the economic slowdown, in fact may even be disproportionately impacted," she said, noting that the pandemic has bifurcated society as it's hit some industries like hospitality and not others.
Walmart's sales and earnings have risen during the pandemic, as customers have turned to its more than 4,700 U.S. stores and its website for groceries, hair color, puzzles and more. Its same-store sales rose by 6.4% and its U.S. e-commerce sales soared by 79% year over year in the fiscal third quarter ended Oct. 31. The company has not yet reported its fourth-quarter earnings, which include the holiday shopping season.
Yet Whiteside said the company realizes customers feel financially strapped as they try to put food on the table and juggle other expenses, such as school supplies for their children. She said "galvanizing around that group of customers who needs us more than ever really is the fuel that keeps Walmart going."
"We know they're continuing to look for ways to save money on basic items, so whether that is looking to switch from national brand to private brand, look for small pack sizes, cherry-picking deals when they're available," she said. "We also know that they are continuing to make sure they don't have to sacrifice on experiences for their families, so they're looking at where they can balance the wallet."
On Monday, Walmart announced it's creating a fintech start-up with venture capital firm Ribbit Capital. It did not share what services it may launch, but said they'll be affordable. Walmart already offers some financial products such as prepaid debit cards for customers with a poor credit history or no relationship with a bank.
Walmart's plan to open health clinics is also geared toward affordability. The clinics offer lower prices that are listed upfront and can be paid out of pocket, such as $30 for an annual checkup or $45 for a counseling session.
"In these times, when everybody's got so much going on in their heads, we also know that saving time and kind of lifting that cognitive load for people is also at a premium," Whiteside said.

Mint will also send alerts if you're being charged an ATM fee, going over budget or if there's been a large or suspicious transaction on your account.
The app's monthly bill payment tracker allows you see all your bills at one glance, and you can get reminders on upcoming due dates and alerts if your funds are low.
For those looking for more resources to help them along their financial journey, Mint has its own educational blog, as well as tools you can use, like a home affordability calculator and a loan repayment calculator.
Safety
Safety features include security scanning with VeriSign for transferring data and multi-factor authentication for accessing your account. Mint will require a 4-digit code to view your account or Touch ID.
It's also worth noting that Mint is an Intuit brand, which is the company behind TurboTax® and QuickBooks®, which millions of people use to store sensitive financial data.
Pricing
While the Mint app is free to use, there are in-app ads. Be prepared to do a lot of ad-watching with any free budgeting app. There is not an option to upgrade to an ad-free version.
Availability and ratings
The Mint budgeting app is available in the App Store (for iOS) and is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple Watch. It is also available on Google Play (for Android).
Rating in App Store at time of writing: 4.7 out of 5 (over 625,000 ratings)
Rating on Google Play at time of writing: 4.5 out of 5 (over 180,000 ratings)
Bottom line
If you're new to budgeting apps or tired of paying for the one you currently use, Mint is the best free option for you.
Users have access to all the typical budgeting app features, plus credit monitoring, customized alerts and educational tools to coach them along the way.
For those more serious about budgeting who don't mind paying a monthly or annual fee, consider the You Need A Budget (YNAB) budgeting app. Instead of using traditional budgeting buckets, users allocate every dollar they earn to something (known as the "zero-based budgeting system" where no dollar goes unaccounted for).
Our methodology
To determine which budgeting apps offer the best user experience, CNBC Select analyzed over a dozen apps offered by the top companies in this market and looked at their pricing, features, user reviews and ratings.
We narrowed down our ranking by only considering apps that sync transactions from users' bank accounts, come with low (or no) cost to sign up, are easy to use and can be accessed on multiple devices so are accessible and compatible for most.
The five apps we selected for this ranking are either free, offer a free version or have a free trial for users to test out before signing up.
All of the apps in our round-up have a sizable number of user reviews and high ratings. Each app on this list has at least 1,000 reviews in both the App Store (for iOS) and on Google Play (for Android), as well as a rating over 4 stars (out of 5) on both platforms.
Other factors we looked at included apps' security features, user customization and educational tools offered.

Bashir release enrages Bali bomb survivors

When Andrew Csabi walked in to the Sari Club in Bali on October 12 in 2002, he was handed a life sentence.
But in a matter of days, the man alleged to have masterminded the bombings that killed Mr Csabi's friends and left the Gold Coast man a double amputee will walk free from jail.
Indonesian authorities this week announced notorious extremist and radical cleric Abu Bakar Bashir would be released from prison on Friday.
"It's unfair, it's unjust. I'm a little bit outraged really," Mr Csabi told AAP.
"I'm a double amputee, so I received a life sentence.
"The people that were mass-murdered received a life sentence... and he now is going to be released from jail."
Bashir will be released "in accordance with the expiration date and the end of his term," a spokeswoman for the law and human rights ministry said in a statement on Monday.
He was jailed in 2011 for his links to militant training camps in Aceh province.
Bashir has denied any involvement in the Bali bombings, but is considered by some to be the spiritual leader of the Jemaah Islamiah network.
Its members are accused of orchestrating the 2002 bombings of Bali nightclubs, which killed more than 200 people, among them 88 Australians, and an attack on the JW Marriott hotel in Jakarta that killed 12 people a year later.
"We wouldn't let Martin Bryant and those sorts of people out, so I do not understand the Indonesian position," Mr Csabi said.
"You're going to let somebody who incited mass murder, you're going to let that person out?"
"It doesn't make sense to me."
Bashir is now 82, but Mr Csabi says his age is no barrier and Bashir has the means to incite hatred again.
"I couldn't be convinced as a survivor that he would not turn back to his trade."
"Some of the survivors, we talk each week still and we're friends... and we all have the same opinion.
"We do not want him released."
Albert Talarico agrees the consensus among survivors and victims' families is that he should not be released.
Mr Talarico was a waterboy at the Coogee Dolphins Football Club, but found himself thrust into the position of president of the rugby league club in Sydney's east when the blast killed the then president.
Eleven players had travelled to Bali to celebrate the end of the season. Only five came home.
The security risks of releasing Bashir aside, Mr Talarico says his release will set back the healing of those who were injured or lost loved ones.
"Everyone walked away with a scar... and when these things happen, those scars and those memories come back, and it just makes it harder for them to try and take that next step forward," Mr Talarico said.
"I feel frustrated and angry, and I think that's the general consensus."
Both men said they'd like to see Bashir die in jail.
"The punishment did not fit the crime," Mr Talarico said.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne on Tuesday said the Australian embassy in Jakarta had made clear Australia's concerns that those responsible for bombings in 2002 and 2005 be stopped from inciting others to carry out attacks.
She said Australian law enforcement and security agencies had confidence in Indonesia's counter-terrorism capabilities, but she understood the news would be distressing for families and friends of the Australians who had died or been injured.

A woman homeless for 10 years was bought a surprise house after kind people donated to her cause when a Tiktok user shared videos of her plight. She shouts with joy as she shown around the new apartment
An emotional video shows the moment a homeless woman living on the streets for 10 years is blindfolded and taken to her new apartment.
In the clip, uploaded by TikTok user @isaiahgarzaintl, Isaiah calls out to the woman, called Robin, from inside his car.
"How are you doing, Sweetie?" he shouts.
Robin pops up from in her makeshift home and yells back in greeting with a big smile on her face.
Isaiah then gives her a present – a bag with keys to her surprise new apartment inside.
Not able to believe it, she says: "No, no. You're crazy. Oh my God."
Isaiah then blindfolds Robin and takes her to the new studio pad, which is beautifully decorated, and she looks overjoyed.
Robin claps in appreciation as glances around to the comfy double bed, TV, and sofa, shouting: "I love it!"
Explaining the story behind the tear-jerking video, Isaiah wrote: "Robin has been homeless for 10 years.
"Today we got her an apartment thanks to my followers/GoFund/TikTok."
Unsurprisingly, the video was watched more than 5.5 million times and people were thrilled for Robin and praised Isaiah for making it happen.
"You're so nice and she deserves this," gushed one fan.
Another person commented: "My heart is full, thank you. I hope this inspires people to do what they can."
"So beautiful – this really restored my faith in humanity," wrote someone else.
Isaiah is a philanthropist, fashion/jewelry designer, recording artist & entrepreneur that has over 4.2 million followers on TikTok.
Celebrities like Cardi B, Rihanna & Khloe Kardashian wears his jewelry line.
Isaiah uses a portion of his brand sales to bring awareness and give back to families in need during the pandemic, the homeless, and human trafficking survivors.
He is also on Instagram and has an online shop where he sells his creations.

Aussie quicks ready to back up in Brisbane

Australia's star-studded pace attack is feeling fresh and set to back up in Brisbane despite the prospect of a jarring three-day break after the SCG Test.
There were pre-series fears that Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc would need a break at some point this summer.
Hazlewood and Cummins were both unable to play a red-ball game before the first Test, having taken part in the Indian Premier League.
An incredibly short turnaround between the third and fourth Tests also loomed as a major concern for medicos, who closely monitor the workload of fast bowers and try to decrease the risk of injury.
David Warner has flagged a three-day break will make it "quite difficult" for him to play in both Sydney and Brisbane.
But ball has comprehensively dominated bat during the first half of Australia's four-Test series against India, while allrounder Cameron Green's elevation has helped share the bowling burden.
Hazlewood has bowled 51 overs, Cummins has delivered 63.3 overs, and Starc has sent down 57 overs.
"I was just talking to a few of the guys earlier and it's probably the freshest we have felt while turning up to Sydney at this time of year, for a very long time," Hazlewood told AAP.
"Back-to-back is fine now. It's been a pretty good lead in, the first two Tests, to just keep working on that build up (of workload).
"Even if we bowl 40-plus overs here, we'll be OK for Brisbane."
The news will delight captain Tim Paine, whose fast bowlers loom as arguably Australia's biggest asset in their quest for a series victory.
Cummins and Hazlewood skittled India for a record-low total of 36 at Adelaide Oval, making a mockery of concerns about their preparation for the Test series.
"Three one-dayers in a week is as good, if not better, prep for a Test than a Shield game," Hazlewood said.
"Different ball, you're bowling a bit differently.
"But as far as actual physical workload goes - it's very tough."
Australia's attack is desperate to stay on top of Cheteshwar Pujara, who broke their morale by scoring 193 during his previous SCG Test.
Pujara, man of the series during India's previous Test our of Australia, has managed 63 runs at 15.75 during the current series.
"Patty has got him a few times ... Gaz (Nathan Lyon) probably looked the best against him in that first innings at Adelaide," Hazlewood said.
"But it's just that the wickets have had a bit in them. Pujara is an unbelievable player when it is a bit slow and low, Indian-style wickets.
"But if we can get some pace and bounce then it brings us into the game."

Justin Thomas uttered a homophobic slur after missing a putt at the Tournament of Champions, with former golfer Paige Spiranac condemning the American
Former professional golfer Paige Spiranac has slammed Justin Thomas after the American used a homophobic slur.
Thomas uttered the highly-offensive word ‘f*****t’ after missing a putt at the Tournament of Champions, with Spiranac saying the slur should ‘never be tolerated’.
His foul language was picked up by microphones on the course on Saturday night, with the world No.3 golfer subsequently apologising for his use of the word, admitting he was ‘embarrassed’ by his actions.
Spiranac, who is now a social media personality after her retirement, condemned Thomas, although she did say he ‘should not be cancelled’.
The 27-year-old revealed her views when commenting on golf fans’ tweets following Thomas’ comment.
One fan tweeted: “You want hot mics this is what you get. Raw emotion. Doesn’t mean he’s a bad guy. Don’t watch if you get triggered by everything.”
Spiranac disagreed with the fan, replying: “You can give raw emotion without being racist or homophobic. There are certain words that should not be said or tolerated.
“He should not be cancelled and I’m glad he apologised. But no one should ever defend the word he used.”
Spiranac also decided to comment when another social media user, Alex Rorizzo, wrote: “He said a bad word directed at nobody in a heated moment.
“He shouldn’t have said it, but trying to draw conclusions on who he is as a person is nuts. If someone is that deeply offended by this, that’s an issue in itself.”
Rorizzio’s comment drew criticism from Spiranac, who replied: “As a straight man you have no right to say it’s not offensive.
“No one is trying to cancel him but that word is offensive and should NEVER be used. End of discussion.”
The PGA Tour also slammed Thomas’ use of the slur as “unacceptable” in a statement, with ESPN reporting that he is likely to be fined by the Tour for his conduct.

Newcastle Knights’ Mitchell Pearce has stepped down as captain amid text message scandal

Newcastle will be forced to find a new captain for 2021 after Mitchell Pearce today stepped down following a ‘sexting scandal’ that saw his lavish Byron Bay wedding called off at the last minute.
The 31-year-old halfback met with club staff and told the Knights’ playing group of his decision ahead of his return to pre-season training on Thursday morning.
In a statement, the Knights said Pearce had approached coach Adam O’Brien, chief executive Phil Gardner and head of football Danny Buderus to apologise for his behaviour and the distraction it had caused to the team.
He then met with the Knights’ playing group to tell them he would be giving up the captaincy, which was already under scrutiny at the club.
Pearce made headlines across the country last week after it was revealed his wedding to Kristin Scott was called off when messages sent to a female employee at his NRL club were found.
“Pearce’s decision followed a lengthy review of current issues, last season’s performance and reflection upon the added pressure the captaincy brings to both his on-field performance and personal life. The club is fully supportive of his decision,” Wednesday’s statement read.
“The Knights will continue work to develop a new club leadership model, with a decision on new club leaders — including who will ultimately perform the role of captain — yet to be made.”
The Knights are desperate for success after making the finals for the first time in seven seasons in 2020 only to be bundled out in week one.
Pearce, a former State of Origin star, will address media on Thursday morning for the first time since his wedding to fiancee Kristen Scott was called off last month.
Further complicating the matter is speculation of a rift within the playing group, with senior players understood to be close friends with the long-term partner of the Knights staffer involved in the scandal.
The Knights, however, remain tight-lipped on the details of the situation.
“The Newcastle Knights are committed to respecting the privacy of their employees, including any discussion of private matters in the public domain,“ the statement said.
“At the conclusion of tomorrow’s media opportunity, no further comment will be made on this matter.”
The latest controversy comes at the worst possible time for Pearce who is in negotiations with the Knights to extend his contract beyond the end of the year.
A sticking point is believed to be money but his latest indiscretion will not do him any favours during the bargaining process.
Pearce was understood to have found stability at Newcastle with Scott following several controversies with the Sydney Roosters.

Brumbies skip Christmas to keep training

The Brumbies have proven their commitment to winning back-to-back Super Rugby AU titles with some players skipping Christmas with their families to ensure they didn't miss training.
Five players, including promising young five-eighth Bayley Kuenzle, headed home prematurely from their Sydney-based families to ensure they didn't have to spend 14 days in quarantine with COVID-19 cases on the rise in NSW.
"It was a bit of a curve ball for a few of the boys but as always they had a great attitude," coach Dan McKellar said on Wednesday.
"It was tough on the players to miss Christmas and tough on their families ... but it's another great example of how our players just adapt and get on with it and there was no complaining.
"They understood it was for the team and for them individually to avoid quarantine and live life as normally as we can so it was something they had to do."
The Wallabies players among them are on an extended break having finished their Tri Nations campaign on December 6 and will join the squad mid month.
The Brumbies have made few changes to the squad that beat Queensland in the Super Rugby AU final in September, with the most notable departure being ex-Wallabies centre Tevita Kuridrani to the Western Force.
They have recruited lock-backrower James Tucker from the Auckland Blues, as well as outside back Reece Tapine and tighthead prop Archer Holz, with almost half the squad aged 23 or younger.
Tucker, 26, is a former Junior All Black, who made his Super Rugby debut for the Chiefs in 2016 before stints in Europe and Japan.
The Brumbies will play their first trial against the NSW Waratahs in Bowral in the Southern Highlands on January 30.
They open the season on February 19 in Perth against the Force, with the game following the Queensland Reds and Waratahs at Suncorp Stadium.

Tennis star Querrey explains COVID escape

American Sam Querrey, who was sanctioned by the ATP for breaching COVID-19 protocols at the St Petersburg Open in October, has defended his actions, saying he did what he felt was right as a father and a husband.
Querrey left Russia in a private jet with his wife and baby son after all three tested positive for the virus before the start of the tournament, sneaking out of their hotel early in the morning without informing reception.
The ATP, the men's governing body, handed the 33-year-old a suspended $20,000 fine which will be lifted if Querrey does not commit further breaches of health and safety protocols related to COVID-19 within a probationary six-month period.
"I ... had to make a decision between 10pm and 10am the next day," Querrey told Sports Illustrated in an interview.
"I had my wife there, and I had my baby there, and as a human decision, I was like, 'Hey, I don't feel comfortable with this.' So we made the decision to charter a plane and leave."
Querrey said he was ready to quarantine in the tournament hotel for two weeks after testing positive but after two days he was told he was no longer welcome at the hotel and doctors would determine if they had to quarantine in a hospital instead.
The American said lack of clarity made it necessary for him, his wife and their seven-month-old son to fly to London and quarantine at an Airbnb.
"I felt as a father and a husband there's a human element to this, and I had to do what I feel like is right," he said, adding the flight had cost him about $40,000 plus and he had to also pay for the stay in London for two weeks.
"I wasn't willing to let our family go to a hospital for a minimum of two weeks where we were at."
Querrey said he was "frustrated" with the media coverage of the incident.
"It made it seem like I just got COVID and bounced. I didn't feel how it was portrayed after that was fair," Querrey said.

In Amerika soll der Kongress die Präsidentenwahl bestätigen, in Stuttgart spricht die FDP über ihre Zukunft, und die CSU sucht nach sozialen Inhalten. Was sonst wichtig wird, steht im Newsletter für Deutschland.
Finanzgerichte sind in der Regel nicht für Nachrichten bekannt, die zum Schmunzeln anregen. Doch bei einigen Feinheiten des deutschen Steuerrechts kommt man nur mit Humor weiter: Wussten Sie zum Beispiel, dass Zauberer nur den ermäßigten Mehrwertsteuersatz zahlen müssen, Nikoläuse aber den vollen? Ja, laut Finanzgericht Münster ist das so. Die Richter entschieden im Fall eines Mannes, der sich mal als Zauberer, mal als Nikolaus buchen ließ. Zauberei sei eine „eigenschöpferische Leistung in einem theaterähnlichen Rahmen", befand das Gericht. Kurz darauf reichte Hogwarts eine neue Steuererklärung ein.
Die Nachrichten des heutigen Tages sind leider nicht ganz so lustig. Dies erwartet uns:
Letzter Akt im amerikanischen Wahldrama
In Amerika könnte sich heute entscheiden, wer in der zweiten Kammer des Kongresses, im Senat, die nächsten Jahre die Mehrheit hat: Republikaner oder Demokraten. Die letzten beiden Senatssitze werden in einer Stichwahl in Georgia vergeben, wo am Dienstag die Wahl begann. Ich habe dort in der 11. Klasse ein Austauschjahr verbracht und damals schien es undenkbar, dass in dem konservativen Südstaaten-Bundesstaat mal ein Senator der politischen Linken gewählt werden könnte. Doch die Präsidentschaft Donald Trumps mobilisiert eben auch die Gegenseite: Umfragen zufolge ist es nicht ausgeschlossen, dass die Demokraten siegen. Kurz vor Mitternacht (Ortszeit) lieferten sich die beiden Kandidaten ein Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen. Gewönnen sie beide Sitze, wäre der Senat genau 50 zu 50 geteilt – und es wäre an der künftigen demokratischen Vizepräsidentin Kamala Harris, Patts in Abstimmungen zugunsten ihrer Partei aufzulösen.
Zugleich soll der Kongress heute das Ergebnis der Präsidentenwahl bestätigen. Normalerweise ist das eine reine Formalität, doch angesichts des zwar jeglicher Grundlage entbehrenden, aber anhaltenden Gepolters von Noch-Präsident Donald Trump über vermeintliche Wahlfälschungen dürfte es – ab dem Abend deutscher Zeit – zu einer Debatte mit anschließender Abstimmung kommen. Die Bürgermeisterin der Hauptstadt Washington hat schon die Nationalgarde mobilisiert, weil der Präsident seit Tagen für einen „March for Trump“ wirbt, wie mein Kollege Majid Sattar von dort berichtet.
CSU und FDP beginnen Klausuren
Während in Amerika der Wahlkampf danach hoffentlich endgültig vorbei ist, beginnt er in Deutschland. Neben dem Bundestag werden voraussichtlich auch sechs Landtage neu gewählt. Dafür laufen sich heute zwei Parteien warm: CSU und FDP. Während die CSU-Fraktion im Bundestag ihre Winterklausur vom bayerischen Kloster Seeon nach Berlin verlegt hat, damit die Veranstaltung zumindest halb als persönliches Treffen stattfindet (ein Teil der Gäste wird digital zugeschaltet), verzichtet die FDP ganz auf Publikum. Auf ihrem traditionellen Dreikönigstreffen spricht Parteichef Christian Lindner im Stuttgarter Opernhaus vor leeren Rängen – die Liberalen im Land sollen die Veranstaltung komplett online verfolgen.

Das Robert-Koch-Institut verzeichnet abermals mehr als 20.000 Neuinfektionen und mehr als 1000 Todesfälle im Zusammenhang mit dem Coronavirus. Wegen der zurückliegenden Feiertage bleibt die Interpretation der Daten jedoch weiter schwierig.
Die deutschen Gesundheitsämter haben dem Robert-Koch-Institut (RKI) 21.237 Corona-Neuinfektionen binnen eines Tages gemeldet. Außerdem wurden 1019 neue Todesfälle innerhalb von 24 Stunden verzeichnet, wie das RKI am Mittwochmorgen bekanntgab. Der Höchststand von 1129 neuen Todesfällen war am 30. Dezember erreicht worden. Bei den binnen 24 Stunden registrierten Neuinfektionen war mit 33.777 am 18. Dezember der höchste Wert gemeldet worden – darin waren jedoch 3500 Nachmeldungen enthalten.
Eine Interpretation der Daten bleibt schwierig, weil um Weihnachten und den Jahreswechsel Corona-Fälle laut RKI verzögert entdeckt, erfasst und übermittelt wurden. Dem Verband Akkreditierter Labore in der Medizin (ALM) zufolge war die Zahl der Labortests über den Jahreswechsel im Vergleich zur Weihnachtswoche noch einmal weiter gesunken. Verglichen mit der Woche vor Weihnachten hat sich die Zahl in der vergangenen Woche ungefähr halbiert.
„Wir erwarten, dass zum Jahresanfang mit der Öffnung von Arztpraxen und Teststellen wieder mehr Personen getestet werden“, hatte der erste Vorsitzende des Verbands, Michael Müller, am Dienstag erklärt. Das RKI geht davon aus, dass die Meldedaten zum Infektionsgeschehen frühestens Ende nächster Woche/Anfang übernächster Woche wieder belastbar sind, wie es auf Anfrage hieß.

Die Zahl der binnen sieben Tagen an die Gesundheitsämter gemeldeten Neuinfektionen pro 100.000 Einwohner (Sieben-Tage-Inzidenz) lag am Mittwochmorgen bei 127,3. Ihr bisheriger Höchststand war am 22. Dezember mit 197,6 erreicht worden. Die Unterschiede zwischen den Bundesländern sind jedoch enorm: Die höchsten Inzidenzen hatten am Dienstag Sachsen mit 262,1 und Thüringen mit 244,6. Den niedrigsten Wert hatte Bremen mit 73,7.
Das RKI zählte seit Beginn der Pandemie 1.808.647 nachgewiesene Infektionen mit Sars-CoV-2 in Deutschland. Die Gesamtzahl der Menschen, die an oder unter Beteiligung einer nachgewiesenen Infektion mit Sars-CoV-2 gestorben sind, stieg auf 36.537. Die Zahl der Genesenen gab das RKI mit etwa 1.451.000 an.
Der bundesweite Sieben-Tage-R-Wert lag laut RKI-Bericht vom Dienstag bei 0,81 (Montag: 0,85). Das bedeutet, dass 100 Infizierte rechnerisch 81 weitere Menschen anstecken. Der Wert bildet jeweils das Infektionsgeschehen vor 8 bis 16 Tagen ab. Liegt er für längere Zeit unter 1, flaut das Infektionsgeschehen ab. Das RKI betonte, dass der R-Wert wegen der Verzögerungen gegebenenfalls unterschätzt werde.
Wegen der weiterhin hohen Infektionsraten hatten Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel (CDU) und die Regierungschefs der Bundesländer am Dienstag eine Verlängerung des derzeitigen Lockdowns bis zum 31. Januar beschlossen. Zudem wird in Corona-Hotspots die Bewegungsfreiheit der Bürger weiter eingeschränkt, persönliche Kontakte sollen noch stärker begrenzt werden.

Viel Schnee und leere Pisten: In Italien hofft man auf die Öffnung der Skigebiete Ende Januar. Noch zögert die Regierung in Rom mit der Erlaubnis. Ob sich die Öffnung wirtschaftlich überhaupt lohnt, bleibt indes fraglich.
Was für ein Winter! In Südtirol und im Trentino, in der Lombardei und im Piemont, in Venetien und in Friaul, auch in den Abruzzen gibt es so viel Schnee wie seit Jahren nicht. Doch Freude an dem Winterwunderland ist nur aus der Ferne möglich. Fremdenverkehr und zumal Skitourismus bleiben in ganz Italien weiter verboten. Skilifte und Seilbahnen sind zugesperrt, wohl bis zum 17. Januar. Was danach erlaubt sein soll, ist schon jetzt heftig umstritten. Seit Ischgl 2020 hat der Wintertourismus einen schlechten Ruf: Es gilt als ausgemacht, dass er die erste Welle der Infektionen im Frühjahr beschleunigt hat. Bei der zweiten Welle jetzt im Winter soll das nicht noch einmal geschehen.
In der Nacht zum Dienstag hat die Regierung in Rom beschlossen, den faktischen Lockdown über das Land, der noch im Dezember verhängt worden war und einschließlich Seilbahnverbot zunächst bis zum Dreikönigstag galt, bis Mitte Januar zu verlängern. Reisen über die Grenzen der 20 Regionen hinweg bleiben verboten. In „roten Zonen“ mit besonders hoher Infektionsgefahr gilt eine vollständige Ausgangssperre, dort dürfen die Wohnung und das Haus nur zum Lebensmitteleinkauf, zur Arbeit und im Notfall verlassen werden.

Dutzende frühere Abgeordnete und Aktivisten werden der Subversion bezichtigt. Chinas Machthaber unterscheiden nicht mehr zwischen moderaten und radikaleren Oppositionellen in Hongkong.
Es ist die größte Festnahmewelle seit der Einführung des „nationalen Sicherheitsgesetzes“ in Hongkong vor einem halben Jahr: Rund 50 frühere Abgeordnete und Aktivisten wurden laut Zählung lokaler Medien am Mittwochmorgen in Hongkong wegen des Verdachts auf Subversion festgenommen. Nach Angaben von Betroffenen wird ihnen die Organisation von oder Teilnahme an den inoffiziellen Vorwahlen des oppositionellen Lagers im vergangenen Juli zur Last gelegt. Die parteiübergreifenden Vorwahlen waren abgehalten worden, um die aussichtsreichsten Oppositionskandidaten für eine Parlamentswahl zu identifizieren, die dann später doch nicht stattfand.
An der unverbindlichen Kandidatenauswahl hatten sich mehr als 600.000 Hongkonger beteiligt, obwohl die lokale Regierungschefin Carrie Lam schon damals gedroht hatte, dass die Aktion gegen das „nationale Sicherheitsgesetz“ verstoßen könnte. Die inoffizielle Abstimmung war Teil einer Kampagne, mit der die Opposition hoffte, die Mehrheit im Legislativrat erringen zu können. Sie trug den Titel „35 Plus“, weil der Legislativrat 70 Sitze hat. Nach Aussagen mancher Oppositionspolitiker wäre es das Ziel gewesen, mit diesen Stimmen die Verabschiedung des Hongkonger Haushalts zu blockieren und die Verwaltung lahmzulegen, um Druck auf die Zentralregierung ausüben.
Bisher weitreichendster Schlag gegen Opposition
Daraus konstruiert die Hongkonger Staatsanwaltschaft nun offenbar eine Gefahr für die nationale Sicherheit und folgt damit einer Rechtsauffassung, die die Zentralregierung bereits im vergangenen Jahr über ihr Hongkonger Liaison-Büro verkündet hatte. Die Polizeiaktion vom Mittwoch ist der weitreichendste Schlag gegen die Hongkonger Opposition, seit die chinesische Führung damit begonnen hat, die Demokratiebewegung auszuschalten. Die Festnahmen richten sich gegen das ganze Spektrum des oppositionellen Lagers, auch gegen moderate Politiker, die an der Protestbewegung des vergangenen Jahres nur am Rande teilgenommen hatten, weil sie deren Methoden nicht vollständig unterstützten. Zudem gegen zivilgesellschaftliche Organisationen und Medien, die der Demokratiebewegung nahestehen.
Unter den Festgenommenen ist auch der frühere Juraprofessor Benny Tai, der die „35 Plus“-Strategie mitformuliert hat und die Vorauswahl der Kandidaten mitorganisiert hat. Er gehörte 2014 zu den Initiatoren der Regenschirm-Proteste. Drei Jahre später rief er das „Projekt Sturm“ aus, eine Strategie, mit der die Opposition nach seinem Willen versuchen sollte, Einfluss auf die Auswahl des nächsten Hongkonger Regierungschefs zu erlangen, unter anderem durch eine Blockade des Haushalts.
Das Verbindungsbüro der Zentralregierung in Hongkong konzentrierte seine Attacken nach den Vorwahlen deshalb auf Benny Tai. Das scheint nun auch die Strategie der Staatsanwaltschaft zu sein. Jedenfalls bezog sich die Polizei bei der Festnahme des genannten Bezirksamtsmitglieds auf den früheren Juraprofessor, der im Juli von der University of Hong Kong entlassen worden war. Tai hatte schon während der Vorwahlen die Aussage zurückgewiesen, dass er gegen das nationale Sicherheitsgesetz verstoßen haben könnte. „Das Recht des Legislativrats, sein Veto gegen den Haushalt einzulegen, ist im Grundgesetz festgeschrieben. Wie kann (es) gegen das nationale Sicherheitsgesetz verstoßen?“
Razzia bei Medien
Ebenso festgenommen wurde der Schatzmeister der Organisation Power for Democracy, die an der Organisation der Kandidatenvorauswahl beteiligt war. Seine Anwaltskanzlei wurde von der Polizei durchsucht. Unterstützer des inhaftierten Aktivisten Joshua Wong teilten über dessen Twitter-Account mit, dass auch sein Haus Ziel der großangelegten Razzia war. Wong hatte als Kandidat an den Vorwahlen teilgenommen und für seinen Wahlbezirk ein Drittel aller abgegebenen Stimmen erhalten.
Die Polizei ging am Mittwoch zudem gegen Medien vor, die den prodemokratischen Kräften nahestehen: das Nachrichtenportal „Stand News“ und die von Jimmy Lai gegründete Zeitung „Apple Daily“. Während einer Razzia verlangten die Beamten nach Angaben des Stand-News-Chefredakteurs „Unterlagen im Zusammenhang mit Fällen der nationalen Sicherheit“. Das Onlinemedium hatte im Zusammenhang mit den inoffiziellen Vorwahlen ein Forum organisiert.

Die Stichwahlen in Georgia entscheiden über die Mehrheitsverhältnisse im amerikanischen Senat. Vom Ergebnis hängt der Spielraum für Joe Biden ab. Nach Auszählung der meisten Stimmen liegen die Kandidaten nahezu gleichauf.
Die Stichwahlen im amerikanischen Bundesstaat Georgia um zwei Senatssitze sind zum Kopf-an-Kopf-Rennen geworden. Nach Auszählung der allermeisten Stimmen lagen die Kontrahenten amerikanischen Medien zufolge in der Nacht zu Mittwoch (Ortszeit) in beiden Rennen jeweils nahezu gleichauf. Die Demokraten Jon Ossoff und Raphael Warnock fordern die bisherigen republikanischen Amtsinhaber David Perdue und Kelly Loeffler heraus.
Kurz vor Mitternacht meldete der Sender CNN einen Vorsprung des Republikaners Perdues von nur 456 Stimmen – bei mehr als vier Millionen ausgezählten Stimmen und einem Auszählungsstand von über 95 Prozent. In der zweiten Stichwahl lag der Demokrat Warnoch etwas deutlicher, aber immer noch knapp vorne. Der Sender Fox News verbreitete ähnliche Zahlen. Der Demokrat Warnock erklärte sich selbst schon zum Sieger.
Doch offiziell steht das Ergebnis noch aus. „Es ist sehr eng“, sagte der oberste Wahlaufseher des Bundesstaats, Brad Raffensperger, gegenüber CNN. Die Auszählung der Stimmen könne aus diesem Grund noch bis in die Mittagsstunden andauern: „Hoffentlich haben wir bis zum Mittag eine bessere Vorstellung davon, wo wir uns befinden“, so Raffensperger. Der Staatssekretär wies darauf hin, dass neben Tausenden noch nicht ausgezählten Stimmen aus verschiedenen Bezirken noch um die 17.000 Stimmzettel unter anderem von Militärangehörigen im Ausland erwartet würden, die angesichts des knappen Rennens wichtig werden könnten. Die Frist für den Eingang dieser Briefwahlunterlagen laufe am Freitag um 17 Uhr (Ortszeit/23 Uhr MEZ) ab.
Entscheidende Rolle für Kamala Harris?
Die Stichwahlen in dem südlichen Bundesstaat entscheiden über die künftigen Mehrheitsverhältnisse im Senat – und darüber, auf wie viel Spielraum der künftige Präsident Joe Biden in den ersten zwei Jahren seiner Amtszeit hoffen kann. Denn vom Wahlausgang in Georgia hängt ab, ob Bidens Demokraten doch noch die Kontrolle über den Senat erringen können. Den Republikanern vom scheidenden Präsidenten Donald Trump reicht auch nur ein weiterer Sitz, um die Mehrheit in der Parlamentskammer knapp zu behalten. Der Senat bestätigt unter anderem Kandidaten des Präsidenten für Regierungsposten und kann Gesetzesvorhaben blockieren.
Am 3. November hatte parallel zur Präsidentenwahl auch etwa ein Drittel der Senatssitze zur Abstimmung gestanden. In Georgia erreichte im ersten Durchgang jedoch keiner der Senats-Kandidaten die nötige absolute Mehrheit. Das machte die Stichwahlen nötig.
Die demokratischen Kandidaten müssten sich beide durchsetzen, damit es eine Pattsituation mit 50 zu 50 Stimmen in der Kammer gibt. Ein Patt könnte dann von Amts wegen von der künftigen Vizepräsidentin Kamala Harris zu Gunsten der Demokraten aufgelöst werden.

Vor ein paar Wochen hat unsere Autorin an dieser Stelle beschrieben, wie es ist, mit einem sehr vermögenden Partner zusammenzuleben. Diese Kolumne hat einige Leser zu Kommentaren veranlasst. Nun möchte der reiche Mann selbst seine Sicht der Dinge darlegen. Ein Protokoll.
Lassen Sie mich zu Beginn klarstellen: Ein paar von Ihnen sind ganz schön in die Klischee-Falle getappt. Das Thema „20 Jahre jüngere Frau lebt mit reichem Mann zusammen“ provoziert diese natürlich auch. Aber: Ich bin zwar wahrlich kein Richard Gere – meine Lebensgefährtin jedoch auch keine Julia Roberts. Wenn wir gemeinsam auf die Straße gehen, dreht sich keiner nach uns um, weil die langbeinige Blondine mit Doppel-D den Greis mit Glatze stützt. Trotzdem witzeln wir darüber, dass in unserer zukünftigen Wohnung noch Platz für eine mögliche Pflegekraft sein wird. Die wohl eher für meine Betreuung vorgesehen ist.
Diese Wohnung erwähne ich, weil „die Frau“, so soll sie hier fortan heißen, sie als Beleg für unsere wirtschaftliche Ungleichheit angeführt hatte. Sie schrieb, sie hätte zu dieser Immobilie noch nicht einmal das Gäste-WC beitragen können. Ja, das stimmt. Aber ist es mir deshalb in den Sinn gekommen, etwas Kleineres an anderer Stelle zu kaufen, damit sie adäquat beteiligt sein kann? Nein, ist es mir nicht. Ich will mich bei der Wohnung, in der ich meinen Lebensabend verbringe, nicht limitieren. Ich bin nicht bereit, auf 100 Quadratmeter zu verzichten, damit wir etwas gemeinschaftlich erwerben können.
Ist das egoistisch? Klar. Aber ich denke, das ist eine Ausprägung von Egoismus, mit der die Frau sich arrangieren und an der ich auch nichts Unredliches erkennen kann. Vor allem da ich weiß, dass es nicht das Geld ist, dass unser Miteinander bestimmt. Glauben Sie mir: Ich bin kein Mensch, der eine Beziehung führen würde, in der ich den Eindruck hätte, dass die Sympathie meines Gegenübers materiell bedingt ist.
Was sich aber nicht von der Hand weisen lässt – und was auch die Frau nicht abstreitet: Mein Wohlstand bringt neben gewissen Annehmlichkeiten (die auch sie durchaus zu schätzen weiß, wir müssen sie nicht heiliger machen als sie ist), etwas mit sich, was zur Qualität unserer Beziehung beiträgt. Meine Arbeit ist ein großes Privileg, denn sie versorgt mich nicht nur mit einem mehr als auskömmlichen Einkommen, sondern bietet mir gleichzeitig die Beschäftigung mit vielen unterschiedlichen und interessanten Bereichen: Kultur, Immobilien, Medizin. Mir ist es ein Bedürfnis, diese Themen mit meiner Partnerin zu teilen. Daher rührt auch der von ihr belächelte, mir aber wichtige Begriff der „Augenhöhe“, den wir von Anfang hatten. Denn glücklicherweise setzt sich die Frau gerne mit meinen Themen auseinander. Wenn es diese nicht gäbe, wären wir möglicherweise kein Paar geworden. Oder nicht geblieben. Auf jeden Fall hätten wir uns ohne eines der Themen vermutlich nicht kennengelernt. Heißt: Es existiert eine gemeinsame intellektuelle Basis. Wissen macht sexy. Deshalb schätze ich es auch, dass auch sie ihre eigenen Themen hat und dass sie ihrem Beruf als Journalistin engagiert nachgeht. Leider mit sehr unterschiedlicher monetärer Auswirkung.
Für mich ist es daher gar keine Frage, dass ich als der wirtschaftlich Stärkere die finanzielle Last trage. Da wir beide nicht so viel vom Heiraten halten, haben wir uns auf einen finanziellen Modus geeinigt, der ihre Abhängigkeit von mir relativiert. Und der, so denke ich, auch zeigt, dass ich sie liebe: Wenn sie eines Tages die Nase voll hat von mir und mich verlassen möchte, ist sie abgesichert.
Haushaltshilfe kommt zwei Mal die Woche
Zum Abschluss möchte ich mit einem weiteren Klischee aufräumen. In ihrer Kolumne hat die Frau meinen fehlenden häuslichen Fleiß moniert und sich als Hüterin des Haushalts geriert. Dazu ist zu sagen: Zwei Mal in der Woche bügelt und putzt eine wunderbare Haushaltshilfe bei uns. Für die Grundreinigung ist also gesorgt, ganz ohne das Zutun der Frau. Und von meinen Pflichten bei der Lebensmittelversorgung hatte sie mich ganz schnell entbunden, nachdem sie meine Vorliebe für den Einkauf beim Discounter entdeckte. Den Erwerb ethisch und ökologisch einwandfreier Lebensmittel übernimmt seitdem sie. Die von ihr beschriebene Rolle des „Heimchens am Herd“ kann sie eindeutig nicht mir ankreiden.

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}As coronavirus cases continue to rise and strong restrictions continue across the UK, people are wondering how it will all end.
Vaccinations centres have opened across the UK, but who will get the jabs, and when?
Restrictions are being reviewed, but what if people don't follow them?
Radio 1 Newsbeat put your questions to Professor Yvonne Doyle, who is Public Health England's medical director and director for health protection.
We're watching very carefully, it is early days.
We won't really know until next week, or maybe the week after whether these restrictions have had the effect that we very much hope for.
Every single day these things are reviewed. It's a balance between the need for what human beings want to do with what they we need to do to keep people protected.
It will be kept under review.
Most people are actually keeping to the rules, it's really important to say.
The police can enforce and the law is there. But obviously, we'd much rather if people co-operated.
The best way to get people to cooperate is understand why this is happening, and really what it means for them and their families.
It's tough. There are childcare bubbles, which mean you can form a bubble with another support household.
I would strongly advise you to have a good look on the .css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link{color:#3F3F42;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{color:#696969;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{font-weight:bolder;border-bottom:1px solid #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration:none;text-decoration:none;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{border-bottom-color:currentcolor;border-bottom-width:2px;color:#B80000;}@supports (text-underline-offset:0.25em){.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited{border-bottom:none;-webkit-text-decoration:underline #BABABA;text-decoration:underline #BABABA;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:1px;text-decoration-thickness:1px;-webkit-text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-decoration-skip-ink:none;text-underline-offset:0.25em;}.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:hover,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:link:focus,.css-yidnqd-InlineLink:visited:focus{-webkit-text-decoration-color:currentcolor;text-decoration-color:currentcolor;-webkit-text-decoration-thickness:2px;text-decoration-thickness:2px;color:#B80000;}}gov.uk website.
This is really difficult, but there are travel rules and it's worth looking at those online.
At the moment, given that we're all in lockdown, nobody is encouraged to travel.
The current lockdown will continue at least until mid-February, and may go beyond that.
Easing lockdown depends on a few things. The first is that the number of cases isn't going up exponentially, because at the moment it's rising very quickly.
Second is if the deaths are falling.
The third is that the NHS is under much less pressure than it is at the moment, when the intensive care units are very full.
I think lockdown will be released gradually, and everybody wants that. But at the moment, it's just not the right time.
The short answer is no.
We are in lockdown and it's important that everybody, even those vaccinated, do keep to the rules.
The second reason for this is that we do need to monitor the effects of the vaccine.
We're pretty confident it will protect people, but what we don't know is whether it stops people spreading it to others.
We only know that by following up. There are good studies doing that just now, but it's really early days.
There are a small number of people who have the virus in their body for quite a long time. They tend to be quite unwell, and nearly all of them are in hospital.
For most people though, once they've had the virus, they will get over it within 14 days.
The virus may be around for a couple of weeks afterwards, but generally they are not contagious after that point.
We have to watch this vaccine to see how long does it actually last. It may be that it needs regular boosting or regular updates. The flu jab gets updated every year.
But certainly, at the moment, it will release the problem we've got at the moment, which is that everyone is susceptible to being infected.
All these vaccines that are allowed to be given to the population are safe and right to give.
It's very important if people are offered to the vaccine that they accept it.
It's very early days, and the most people who are not accepting it are simply finding it difficult to get the right time to get there.
I would encourage people to accept the vaccine when they're offered.
My experience so far on our feedback is actually that there's a very high demand.
The vaccine programme is split into a number of phases. Those who are in the first phase are those who are most likely to die or get really unwell, so it's important that they get the vaccine first. That's been really carefully worked out by the scientists and helped by modelling.
Eventually it'll work its way through the population. And there are enough doses there to give most people a vaccination if the vaccine is registered for them.
We've done a lot of study with teachers and students, and we know that young people are less likely to show severe forms of the virus.
For teachers, they are not likely to get as ill as the very old and those who are in clinically at-risk groups. So those are the people who must be vaccinated first, because they are most likely to die.
It's really important that people at work are in secure locations where the employer makes sure they're well protected.
Good ventilation, face masks and social distancing are what's needed. We're pressing all the time that both people who are in places adhere to this secure behaviour, but also employers make sure that their employees are as secure as they should be.
The vaccinators are working very long hours at the moment. It's important that they're not getting very tired so they are clinically safe to give the vaccine.
We also need to ask people to come at normal hours to get the vaccine.
There's all sorts of ways of getting vaccination now, and this country is one of the fastest of the market in western Europe.
This is a massive programme of offering vaccine to millions of people.

SmartDot radiation-protection phone stickers 'have no effect'

.css-14iz86j-BoldText{font-weight:bold;}Stickers supposed to protect users against mobile-phone radiation have no effect, scientists have found.
Energydots says they "counteract the harmful energy emitted by wireless and electronic equipment" to aid sleep, cure headaches and give a clearer mind.
But University of Surrey tests for BBC News found no evidence of any effect.
The Devon-based company told BBC News the stickers were programmed with "scalar energy", which the scientists' equipment would be unable to detect.
Energydots markets a range of stickers, including the SmartDot, the SleepDot and even the PetDot.
BBC News bought five SmartDots - a special offer for £55 - and sent them to the university's 6th Generation Innovation Centre.
Researchers tested 4G mobile phones and wi-fi access points with and without the stickers applied to them.
And a spokesman for the lab said: "We could not find any evidence that these products had any effect on frequency or power when used as instructed."
An Energydots spokeswoman told BBC News: "We state clearly that our products harmonise the fields.
"And the way to test this is to assess via biological testing."
Last November, the company published a press release saying it was extremely proud to announce a partnership with the NHS that would see "brand-new patient engagement units" installed in Torbay and Royal College of London hospitals.
At the time, an Energydots spokeswoman told BBC News adverts for its products would appear in the two hospitals, though she clarified the London hospital was in fact University College Hospital.
But a Torbay Hospital spokesman then told BBC News it knew nothing of this partnership.
And within hours, the press release had disappeared from the company's website.
Energydots later said there had been a misunderstanding with the agency that had promised to organise the adverts.
Its stickers are among a wide range of products on Amazon from companies offering electric-and-magnetic-field (EMF) protection.
These include protective clothing, canopies to be placed over beds and even devices that block radiation from wi-fi routers - making them effectively useless.
An Amazon spokesman told BBC News it:
Campaigners claiming radiation from mobile phones and other devices poses a health risk have stepped up protests as 5G networks are rolled out.
But most scientists say even the higher part of the electromagnetic spectrum that may be used by 5G should not harm humans.
International guidelines limit radio-wave exposure.
And within those limits, there are no known consequences for health, the World Health Organization says.

Bu anlamda başlattığımız blokzincir eğitimlerimizin ilkini gerçekleştirdik. Üyelerimiz eğitim sırasında yatırmalarına başladı. Dijital dünya ve yeni teknolojiler ile ilgili uzman isimlerle buluşmaya devam edeceğiz. Bizleri yalnız bırakmayıp davetimizi kabil eden Erkin Şahinöz'e, verdiği bilgiler için teşekkür ediyorum" dedi. Genel ekonomi ile konuşmasına başlayan Erkin Şahinöz, dünya piyasalarında şu anda coşku olduğunu, bunun da piyasaların aşıya endeksli olmasından kaynaklandığını ifade etti. Piyasaların hangi ülke kaç tane aşı getirdi, kaç kişi aşı yaptı istatistikleri üzerinden gittiğini kaydeden Şahinöz, “Dolayısıyla müthiş bir iyimserlik var. Küresel ekonomi büyüyor. V tipi bir büyüme var. Hatta virüs öncesinden daha hızlı büyüyor. Finansal piyasalarda 2021yılında yeni rekorlar kırılabilir. Türk borsası için de geçerli” açıklamasında bulundu. Çin, son 8 yılın en büyük büyümesini yaşıyor Hizmet sektöründe önemli bir büyüme yaşandığını belirten Şahinöz, “Amerika ve Çin’deki hizmet sektöründeki büyüme dünyayı da etkiliyor. Avrupa hizmet sektöründe biraz geriden geliyor. Onun da sebebi alınan tedbirler” diye konuştu. Çin’in son 8 yılın en büyük büyümesini yaşadığının altını çizen Erkin Şahinöz, “Çin zincirinden boşalmış olarak geliyor” hatırlatmasında bulundu. Türkiye’nin büyümede biraz ayrıştığını kaydeden Erkin Şahinöz, “Türkiye büyüyor, ama yavaş büyüyor. Önümüzdeki 3 aya baktığımızda büyüme devam edecek. Nisan’dan sonra hizmet sektöründe önemli bir büyüme bekliyorum. Bunun aşı ile de ilgilisi yok. Kısıtlamalar kalkacak. Tamamen algı meselesi” dedi. Bu süreçte kripto paraların ayrı bir öykü yazdığını ifade eden Şahinöz, “Şu anda piyasada 8 bin tane kripto para çeşidi var. Aslında bir kripto para rallisi demiyorum buna, Bitcoin rallisi diyorum. Kurumsal talep, yani artık Erkin Şahinöz, Murat Bey almıyor. JP Morgan, Black Rock alıyor. Dolayısıyla bu kurumsal talep yüzünden zaten Bitcoin bu kadar düzeltmesiz yükseliş yaşadı. Bitcoin sadece ödeme sağlıyor, fakat dünyanın en güvenilir kripto parası. Ether, bin 300 dolarlarda. Hala hak ettiği yerde değil. Bence Ether dünyanın en muhteşem kripto parası. Bir kere koşullu ödeme özelliği sağlıyor. Ticaret için en uygun kripto para birimi. Kurucusu Vitalik Buterin, çıkarken bir hata yaptı, arzını sınırsız yaptı. Arzı sınırsız olunca bir şeyin prim kabiliyeti de yükselmiyor. Ama yaptıkları şey çok özel. Daha bir sürü kripto para var. Gelecek olanlar var. Onları kaçırmamamız lazım. Kripto para hikayesi daha çok milyarder yaratmaya devam edecek” açıklamasında bulundu. Sermaye ve akıl blokzincir dostu ülkelere kayıyor Son 6 yılının kripto para konuları ile geçtiğini hatırlatan Erkin Şahinöz, “Bunun beş yılı eğitim ve ne yapabiliriz olarak geçti. Son bir yıldır artık sahada yapıyoruz. İş somuta geldi. Burada benim bir tek arzum devletin bizlere destek olması. Buna uygun bir ekosistem yaratması. Mevzuatta olmayan yerlerden dolanarak bu işi yapmak yerine ülkemizi blokzincir dostu bir ülkeye çevirebiliriz. İsviçre bu konuda erken davrandı. Dünyanın en kripto para dostu ekonomisini, ekosistemini yaratıyor. Dolayısıyla sermaye ve akıl oraya doğru gidiyor. Bu işle uğraşan dünyada önemli sayıda zeka var. Bu insanları ülkesine çekiyor. Potansiyel yatırımcıyı da ülkesine çekiyor. Bizim de burada buna olanak sağlamamız lazım. Türkiye’de blokzincir tarafından münferit projeler var” dedi. Kripto paraya yatırım yapmak isteyenlere küçük tüyolar da veren Şahinöz, “Kripto paraya yatırım yaparken bakmanız gereken üç konu var. Hız, ölçeklenebilir olması ve güvenli olması. Bu özellikle önemli. Kripto paraya yatırım yapıyorsanız, borsada değil cüzdanda tutun” dedi.

Seit Jahren schwelt der Streit um die Verzinsung von Prämiensparverträgen. Die Bürgerbewegung Finanzwende wirft Sparkassen nun vor, auf Zeit zu spielen.
Die Bürgerbewegung Finanzwende wirft Sparkassen im Streit um die Verzinsung von Prämiensparverträgen eine Verzögerungstaktik vor.
«Ansprüche von Kunden sind im letzten Jahr verfallen, dies darf sich 2021 nicht fortsetzen», forderte der frühere Grünen-Politiker und der Finanzwende-Vorstand Gerhard Schick. Sparkassen müssten auf betroffene Kunden zugehen, «statt auf Zeit zu spielen». Viele ältere Prämiensparverträge enthalten Zinsanpassungsklauseln, mit denen Kreditinstitute die zugesicherte Verzinsung einseitig ändern können. Nach einem Urteil des Bundesgerichtshofs (BGH) sind diese Klauseln seit 2004 unwirksam. Streit gibt es aber weiter um Details.
Verbraucherschützer werfen vor allem Sparkassen vor, die Zinsen eigenmächtig mit Hilfe von Zinsanpassungsklauseln gesenkt zu haben. «Zahlreiche Sparkassen haben ihre Zinsen mindestens am Rande dessen berechnet, was das Gesetz zulässt», sagte Schick. «Erste Gerichtsentscheidungen und viele Experten sagen sogar, dass Sparkassen Zinsen falsch berechnet haben.» Eine Reihe von Menschen müsste demnach noch Zinsen von den Sparkassen erhalten.
Die Finanzaufsicht Bafin hatte betroffenen Sparern jüngst empfohlen, gegebenenfalls eine Verbraucherzentrale oder einen Anwalt einzuschalten. Für Schick ist damit klar: «Wir haben es offenbar mit einer Vielzahl von Verträgen zu tun, die nicht rechtskonform sind.» Es sei «eine Frechheit, wenn Sparkassen beim Thema Prämiensparen auf den Faktor Zeit und damit auf Verjährungen setzen.»
Die Bafin sollte baldmöglichst einschreiten und die Sparkassen zu mehr Transparenz verpflichten. Hinweise für Anleger und unverbindliche Aufforderungen seien zu wenig. Bislang gibt es keine Informationspflicht der Kreditinstitute den Kunden gegenüber.
Die Bafin möchte, dass Kreditinstitute jeden betroffenen Sparer informieren und angemessene Lösungen anbieten. Ein runder Tisch der Aufsicht mit Verbänden der Kreditwirtschaft und Verbraucherschützern dazu blieb ohne Ergebnis. Die Behörde prüft nun verwaltungsrechtliche Maßnahmen, um zu erreichen, dass Sparer ausreichend informiert werden. Betroffen sind langfristig variabel verzinste Sparverträge von 2004 und davor. Verbraucherschützer haben bereits mehrere Musterfeststellungsklagen eingereicht.
Der Deutsche Sparkassen- und Giroverband hatte jüngst betont, die Sparkassen hätten auf Basis der Vorgaben des Bundesgerichtshofs die Berechnungsmethode für das Neugeschäft und damals schon laufende Verträge angepasst. «Wir halten diese von Sparkassen vorgenommene Änderung nach den Vorgaben des BGH für zulässig.» Die Anwendung der Rechtsprechung in den Verträgen habe auch keiner neuen Vereinbarung mit den Kunden bedurft: «Vielmehr sollen sich beide Seiten darauf verlassen können, dass die BGH-Rechtsprechung umgesetzt wird. Das ist geschehen.»
