Kars'ta uzman çavuşken 2016 yılında teröristlerle girdiği çatışmada boynundan yaralanan Yozgatlı gazi Muammer Ceylan, hobi amaçlı başladığı filografi sanatıyla acılarını unutuyor. Yozgat’ta yaşayan 28 yaşındaki Muammer Ceylan, 2016 yılında terör örgütü PKK mensuplarıyla Kars’ın Sarıkamış ilçesinde girdiği çatışmada boynundan yaralanarak gazi oldu. Çatışmada aldığı kurşun yarasıyla omurilik felci olan ve tekerlekli sandalyeye mahkum olan gazi Muammer Ceylan, 6 ay boyunca Ankara’daki Bilkent Gazi Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nde tedavi gördü. Fizik tedavi sayesinde ellerini kullanmaya başlayan Ceylan, tedavi sürecinde doktorların da tavsiyesiyle rehabilitasyon merkezinin atölyesinde filografi sanatı ile ilgilenmeye başladı. Tedavi sürecinin ardından hobi olarak başladığı filografi sanatıyla hayata tutunan Ceylan, evinde kısıtlı imkanlarla bu zamana kadar onlarca Türk bayrağı, üç hilal, sancak temalı tablolar oluşturdu. “Ellerim çalışmaya başlayınca hayatım güzelleşti” 6 aylık rehabilitasyon sürecinin ardından ellerini kullanabilir hale gelen Ceylan, “2016 yılında Kars’ın Sarıkamış ilçesinde yaralandım, terör örgütü unsurlarınca girdiğimiz çatışmada. Daha sonrasında 6 gibi bir süre hastanede yattım. Bir ay yoğun bakım olmak üzere 5 ayda fizik tedavi rehabilitasyon süreci geçirdim. Bu sürede boynumun altı felç vaziyetteydi. Şükür yavaş yavaş ellerim geri döndü, ellerim çalışmaya başladıktan sonra hayatımda daha güzel şeyler olmaya başladı. En azından tekerlekli sandalye ile de olsa birileriyle görüşüp muhabbet edebilmek beni rahatlatıyordu. 6 aydır bir odada tabiri caizse kilitli yatıyordum” dedi. “Filografi bana huzur veriyor” Filografi sanatıyla 3.5 yıl önce tanıştığını anlatan Ceylan, “Ankara’da tedavi aldığım bir hastanenin mesleki rehabilitasyon salonları mevcuttu. Seramik, mobilya boyama, rölyef, filografi ve daha niceleri bir sürü el sanatı atölyesi mevcuttu. Benim de dikkatimi filografi çekmişti. İlk gördüğüm tablo al yıldızlı ak bayrağımızdı. Gerçekten çok hoş görünüyordu. Daha sonra ben bu sanata merak sardım, hobi olarak başladım. Hastanedeki hocamın da yardımıyla yavaş yavaş bu sanatı öğrenemeye başladım. Akrabalarıma, akrabalarıma hediye olarak yapmaya başladım. Bu da beni biraz daha keyiflendirdi. Artık benim için bir uğraşa dönüştü, hobiden ziyade. En azından bana engelimi unutturdu. 4.5 yıl oldu ben yaralananalı. 3.5 yıldır da bu sanatla ilgileniyorum. Bu zamana kadar 50 ila 100 arası tablo yaptım. Hepsi de birbirinden değerli bayraklar, sancaklar, üç hilaller. Gerçekten bana zevk veriyor, huzur veriyor. En azından evde boş boş oturmak yerine bir uğraşım olduğunun farkına varıyorum. Bütün engelliler bir sporla uğraşla kendilerini motive etmeli. Ben yapım gereği çalışmayı seven bir insan olduğum için boş duramıyorum. Siparişler geliyor, yeri geliyor siparişlere bile yetişemiyorum” şeklinde konuştu. En fazla atölye konusunda sıkıntı yaşadığını da söyleyen Ceylan, “Artık bir atölye ihtiyacı doğmaya başladı. Çarşı da uygun yerler arıyorum ama maalesef bulamadım. Artık evde bun sanatı yapamaz hale geldim. Komşularım haklı olarak rahatsız oluyorlar. Arkadaşlarımın sanayi sitesinde dükkanları var oraya gidiyorum orada yapmaya çalışıyorum. En başta bir atölyeye ihtiyacımız var yetkililerin desteğini bekliyorum” ifadelerine yer verdi.

First Qatar to Saudi flight takes off after thaw

Qatar-Saudi flights resumed on Monday as the neighbours normalise ties under a landmark agreement that ended a bitter three-year rift and allows families to reunite.
Saudi Arabia and its allies the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt in June 2017 slapped a blockade on Qatar that included closing airspace to the country over claims it backed Islamist groups and was too close to Iran.
Qatar has always denied the charges.
The quartet agreed to lift the restrictions at a Gulf Cooperation Council summit last week in the Saudi desert city of Al-Ula, after a flurry of diplomatic activity by outgoing US President Donald Trump's administration.
The first commercial flight between Qatar and Saudi Arabia in three and a half years, a Qatar Airways service to Riyadh, took off from windswept Doha airport around 1100 GMT and was due to touch down at 1210 GMT.
Airport staff filmed aircraft taxiing on the runway in anticipation of the departure, according to an AFP correspondent on the ground.
Economy tickets for flight QR1164 aboard an Airbus A350 were on sale for around $650 one way to cover the roughly 600 kilometres (370 miles) between the neighbours' capitals.
- 'Air bridge' -
A Saudia Airlines plane will also fly Monday from Riyadh to Doha, departing the kingdom at 1340 GMT according to its online schedule, with services from Jeddah expected to start at a later date.
Just as the first flight to Riyadh was preparing to take off, Qatar Airways tweeted that services to Jeddah and Dammam would resume later in the week.
Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have both opened their airspace to Qatari aviation under the deal but there has been no word on when the first direct flights will take off.
Saudi Arabia's closure of its airspace has forced Qatar Airways aircraft to fly over Iran, Riyadh's arch-rival and long-time adversary of Washington, paying significant overflight fees to Tehran in the process.
The New York Times has reported that Qatar pays $100 million annually to fly over the Islamic republic, citing diplomatic sources.
US national security adviser Robert O'Brien said in November that allowing Qatari planes to fly over Saudi Arabia via an "air bridge" was a priority for the outgoing Trump administration.
The economic hit of the crisis, coinciding with low oil prices and the coronavirus downturn, was felt across the region.
Well-heeled Saudis were unable to visit Doha for holidays and long weekends while expats living in Qatar were unable to visit popular destinations like Dubai without tedious detours via Kuwait or Oman.

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has revived plenty of careers over the years.
And it seems Toni Pearen is already reaping the benefits of her TV exposure, with the music video for her 1992 hit In Your Room going viral on social media.
Fans rediscovered the 48-year-old's pop career after flocking to YouTube following Tuesday night's episode.
The comments below the video for In Your Room are now filled with messages from fans saying 'I'm a Celebrity brought me here'.
'Totally forgot this crush!' one fan wrote.
Another added: 'Without a doubt the cutest woman on earth and watching I'm a Celebrity [proves] she hasn't changed a bit.'
A similar comment read: 'So happy to see Toni on I'm a Celebrity. I'm predicting top three or at least top five. Still loving this song.'
After walking into the jungle on Sunday night's season premiere, fans could hardly believe how young Toni looks these days.
Many commented on Twitter that the mother of two has hardly changed since starring on E Street some 30 years ago.
One fan tweeted: 'I know it's shallow to say, but far out Toni Pearen looks amazing. She hasn't aged in decades.'
Another chimed in: 'Toni Pearen looks the same and I don't think it's Botox.'
A third wrote: 'Refreshing to see no Botox face on Toni Pearen, though I reckon she's going to get lots of criticism for showing winkles on TV as well as support.'
A stunned viewer tweeted: 'Anyone else just google "how old is Toni Pearen"?'
Others were just happy to see her on TV again, with one fan writing: 'Look, I'll be honest, if you put Toni Pearen on a TV show, I'll watch it.'
Toni rose to fame playing Toni Windsor on E Street, before moving on to a pop career and releasing hit singles such as In Your Room and I Want You.
She appeared briefly on Home and Away in 1994, and the following year moved to America, where she lived until 2002.
After returning Down Under, Toni landed a role hosting Australia's Funniest Home Videos from 2003 to 2008.
These days, Toni runs a talent school with her business partner Raelee Hill.
She has been married to Will Osmond since 2007, and they share two children, Lucky, 10, and Ever, seven.

Sonneberg(dpa/th) - Das Corona-Bürgertelefon im Landratsamt Sonneberg läuft wegen vieler Anrufe von Impfwilligen heiß - obwohl darüber gar keine Termine vergeben werden. Täglich melde sich derzeit eine höhere zweistellige Zahl von Menschen mit der Bitte nach Impfterminen oder Fragen zur Terminvergabe, teilte ein Sprecher des Landratsamtes am Montag mit. In Thüringen sind allerdings nicht die Kreis- und Stadtverwaltungen für die Terminvergabe zuständig, sondern die Kassenärztliche Vereinigung (KV), die auch die Impfungen managt und landesweit rund 30 Impfzentren aufgebaut hat.
Impftermine in Thüringen werden ausschließlich unter der Rufnummer 03643/49 50 490 oder online über die Internetseite www.impfen-thueringen.de vergeben. Wie viele Termine dort gebucht werden können, hängt von der Menge des verfügbaren Impfstoffs ab. Am Montagmittag waren alle Termine ausgebucht, wie die KV auf der Website mitteilte. Impfwillige wurden gebeten, es Dienstagmittag erneut zu versuchen. Am Mittwoch sollen in Thüringen die ersten 14 Impfzentren in Betrieb gehen, darunter auch eines in Sonneberg. Weitere 15 sollen schrittweise ab dem 3. Februar öffnen.

Sofia Richie is 'still stuck in the house' amid raging COVID-19 cases

Her ex boyfriend Scott Disick, 37, recently returned to Los Angeles, following a New Year's getaway to Mexico with his new flame Amelia Hamlin, 19.
Meanwhile, Sofia Richie has been seemingly doing her part to deter the spread of COVID-19 as she took to Instagram on Tuesday to announce that she is 'still stuck in the house.'
The model, 22, shared a super closeup selfie with her 6.5million followers, which she appeared to take from the comfort of her spacious bedroom.
Sofia showed off her flawless makeup-free complexion and had her golden hair styled into an effortless up do.
She had numerous gold hoops fastened to her ears that coordinated with the two chains on her neck.
The daughter of Lionel Richie kept cozy in a blue tie-dyed crewneck sweatshirt that she layered over a plan white tee.
Resting behind Richie was her luxe king-sized bed, which was made up with white sheets and matching pillows.
Sofia also showcased her inside antics on Monday evening as she graced Instagram in a nourishing face mask.
'Monday Nights,' wrote the star, followed by a pink heart emoji.
Richie rested her head against a pillow and kept her hair out of her face with a cloth headband.
Adding to her overall comfort factor, Sofia slipped into a matching black pajama set with white detailing.
While Scott and Amelia kissed 2020 goodbye in Mexico, Sofia bid farewell to the nightmare year at home with her mother Diane Alexander.
Taking to her Instagram Story, Sofia modeled her New Year's Eve attire, which included a sweatshirt that had 'F**k 2020' written on the front of it in bold white lettering.
Although she has been staying indoors in recent days, the former girlfriend of Scott Disick celebrated the Christmas holiday in St. Barts with her closest family and friends.
Along with her father Lionel, 71, and her brother Miles, 26, Sofia was joined by actress Lily Collins, 31, and her fiance Charlie McDowell.
On December 28, Richie referenced the New Year as she shared a snapshot of herself looking into a pair of binoculars with the caption: 'Me looking into 2021'
She flaunted her enviably fit frame in a blue patterned bikini top and a pair of brightly colored leggings.
The photo was taken just before Sofia ventured into the water to take a stab at jet skiing, which she proudly shared on her Instagram Story.
Richie shared a plethora of vacation snaps with her millions of followers, including photos of herself rocking various figure flattering bikinis.
Since splitting from Scott 'for good' in August, Sofia has been seemingly enjoying the single life and spending a ton of time with her tight knit family.
Sofia and Scott, who began dating in 2017, first called it quits in May, following Scott's brief rehab stint in Colorado.
They reconnected less than two months later on the Fourth Of July, where they were spotted attending a mutual pal's beach gathering in Malibu.
After a slew of secret hangouts and suggestive Instagram posts, the pair officially put their relationship to rest in late August.
Sofia was briefly linked to Cha Cha Matcha cofounder Matthew Morton, but their fling quickly fizzled out sometime in October.
Scott eagerly got back into the dating game, as well, but he did not find a constant companion until he met Lisa Rinna's daughter Amelia, who is 18-years his junior, in late October.
The pair have been virtually inseparable and looked more loved up than ever during their recent Cabo San Lucas trip, where they were spotted lounging in the sun together.

Sri Lanka to rebuild Tamil war memorial after protests
|
Daily Mail

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-9134205/Sri-Lanka-rebuild-Tamil-war-memorial-protests.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

Sri Lanka's government said Monday it would rebuild a memorial to Tamil civilians killed in the country's civil war that was demolished at the weekend.
The destruction of the monument at Jaffna University -- depicting arms sticking out of a mound -- prompted protests and threats of a general strike in areas where Tamils are a majority.
The government had earlier condemned the structure as a memorial to "terrorists", saying it glorified Tamil Tiger guerrillas who were crushed in 2009 at the end of a 37-year-long war.
The memorial was erected by students at the university to mark the 10th anniversary of the end of the war, and commemorate the thousands of civilians killed in the final stages.
Opposition legislator Dharmalingam Sithadthan told AFP that the university's management had ordered its destruction.
"The gates were locked while a bulldozer demolished the memorial inside the university," Sithadthan said.
"Police were deployed outside for protection."
The action angered students and residents as well as Tamils in neighbouring India.
Minority Tamils have accused the Sinhalese-majority government of denying them the right to remember their war dead.
Angajan Ramanathan, a ruling party legislator for Jaffna, said authorities had agreed to rebuild the monument at the same location.
"The foundation stone... was laid today, Ramanathan said on Twitter.
Tamil Tigers controlled a third of the island at the height of their power, but were crushed in a military offensive when President Gotabaya Rajapaksa was the top defence official.
His brother Mahinda, the current prime minister, was the president when Sri Lanka annihilated the Tiger leadership.
The military success was followed by allegations that up to 40,000 Tamil civilians were killed by security forces in the final onslaught, a charge the government denies.
Public Security Minister Sarath Weerasekera had earlier said the monument was a tribute to the Tigers, and that "no one will and should be allowed to commemorate dead terrorists".

Izabel Goulart flashes washboard abs as she enjoys hike on St. Barts

She has been a supermodel sensation for years.
And Izabel Goulart put her catwalk credentials on display via Insta Stories this Tuesday whilst hiking during her St. Barts holiday.
The 36-year-old Brazilian bombshell flaunted her washboard abs in a skimpy ensemble made up of a charcoal sports bra and bike shorts.
Izabel, who is engaged to the dashing German soccer heartthrob Kevin Trapp, has been on St. Barts since before New Year's.
Warding off the Caribbean rays with a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, she added a splash of glitz with hoop earrings and a glittering necklace.
She and a smoldering male pal were seen taking a strenuous uphill trek over rocky terrain to the island's famous natural pools.
The pools are near the Petit Cul-de-Sac Beach and can only be reached via hiking, with no automobile roads leading to them.
As she clambered among the boulders Izabel at one point settled down on a rock so that her friend could rub sunscreen on her back.
Despite the physical exertion the sizzling sensation, who used to be a Victoria's Secret Angel, kept her spirits up for multiple smiling snapshots.
Once she reached the natural pool she was going to she stripped down to her green and bubblegum bikini to take a dip.
Izabel, whose first runway show in Brazil became a media frenzy because her top accidentally opened onstage, dove energetically into the water.
The Sao Carlos native opted for a thong swimsuit that emphasized her assets as she took the plunge into the natural pool.
She rang in the New Year enjoying the delights of St. Barts with her supermodel girlfriends Jasmine Tookes and Josephine Skriver.
Jasmine and Josephine are both current Victoria's Secret Angels and like Izabel they reached new heights of fame through their leggy work for the brand.
A little over a year ago Izabel dished to Elle Australia about some of the diet tips that have helped her retain her sensational figure.
'I travel a lot, but when I'm home, I cook every day. In the mornings, I'll make juices with fruits, vegetables and protein,' she revealed.
'I try to keep the foods I put in my body as basic as possible: protein, carbs and vegetables. When I go out, I just try to make the healthiest choices on the menu.'
As far as exercise is concerned she goes for not just weights and kickboxing but also such disciplines as Pilates and running.
'I tell my trainers... to train me like I will become a professional in that sport. If you have focus, motivation [and] dedication, you can accomplish your goals,' said she.

Pandemic or not: Famke Janssen never seems to skimp when it comes to her fashion choices.
And on Tuesday the X-Men star showed off both her sense of style and statuesque 6ft figure when she stepped out for a stroll with her friend's grey French Bulldog Gloria in Downtown Manhattan.
The Netherland native, 56, appeared to be relishing her time with the animal, even seen briefly picking up the little guy up into her arms for part of the walk.
With the temperatures taking a tumble, the former Bond girl made her way down the streets in a striking red dress with black leggings and a gorgeous black jacket that came down just past her lean waist.
She also donned a matching black scarf and sneakers and had her dark tresses styled long and flowing with some added volume.
The actress made sure to wear a black mask with white stars in adherence to health and safety protocols amid the still raging COVID-19 pandemic.
Kicking off her career as a fashion model in the 1980s, Janssen went on to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, including the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Chanel, and Victoria's Secret.
By 1992, she transitioned to acting with guest starring roles in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Melrose Place, which were both massive hit shows.
She garnered a worldwide audience when she played Xenia in 1995's Goldeneye, starring Pierce Brosnan as 007 James Bond.
Janssen has since gone on to star in the X-Men film series (2000-2014), the Taken film franchise (2008-2014), as well as TV hits Nip/Tuck (2004-2010) and How To Get Away With Murder (2015-2019).
Most recently she had a role in the 2020 mystery crime drama film The Postcard Killings alongside Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Cush Jumbo.
Her newest film -- the romantic drama film Redeeming Love with Abigail Cowen, Tom Lewis and Logan Marshall-Green -- is set to premiere in early 2021.

Air traffic controllers report chilling threat: 'Soleimani will be avenged'

Air-traffic controllers in New York heard a threat to do a Sept. 11 reprise on Wednesday, CBS News reported.
According to audio posted Tuesday by the network, a calm voice made the threat “we are flying a plane into the Capitol Wednesday. Soleimani will be avenged.”
The “avenged” reference is to Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general killed a year ago Monday in a U.S. drone strike ordered by President Trump.
CBS reported that national-security officials do “not believe the warning of an attack is credible, it is being investigated as a breach of aviation frequencies.”
Defense Department officials were briefed Tuesday about the digitized voice recording.
On Wednesday, Congress is set to certify the presidential election results, and U.S. officials believe the threat, however credible, is tied to that.

Die Cleveland Browns sorgen für die erste Überraschung in den Play-offs der NFL. Gegen Pittsburgh beenden die Browns ohne ihren Cheftrainer eine lange Durstrecke und stellen dabei sogar einen Rekord auf. Bei den Steelers fließen hingegen Tränen.
Ben Roethlisberger hat in seiner Karriere schon viel erlebt. Der 38 Jahre alte Quarterback der Pittsburgh Steelers spielt seit gut 16 Jahre in der NFL. Die Fans nennen den 1,96 Meter großen und 109 Kilogramm schweren Roethlisberger erfurchtsvoll „Big Ben“.
Nach dem Spiel gegen die Cleveland Browns versteckte der große Ben seine Gefühle nicht. Dicke Tränen liefen aus seinen geröteten Augen. Kurz zuvor hatten er und sein Team 37:48 (10:35) gegen den Außenseiter verloren.
Fast zur selben Zeit hüpfte Baker Mayfield, der Quarterback der Browns, freudig in die Katakomben. Den Spielball hatte er unter seinen linken Arm geklemmt. Mayfield war sich bewusst, wie bedeutsam dieses Stück Leder nicht nur für ihn ist. Schließlich gewann Cleveland erstmals nach 26 Jahren wieder ein Spiel in den Play-offs.
Mayfield, 25, der beim bislang letzten Play-off-Sieg der Browns am 1. Januar 1995 noch nicht geboren war, überzeugte mit drei Touchdown-Pässen. „Wir haben daran geglaubt“, sagte Mayfield, „die Menschen von außen interessieren uns nicht, wir haben die ganze Zeit daran geglaubt.“ Er sei morgens aufgewacht und habe sich „gefährlich gefühlt“.
Trainer Stefanski schaut Spiel zu Hause
Gefährlich war das durch Corona-Fälle stark dezimierte Team, das auch auf Cheftrainer Kevin Stefanski verzichten musste, besonderes im ersten Viertel. Während Stefanski wegen eines positiven Corona-Tests die Partie aus seinem Zuhause in Cleveland verfolgen musste und aufgrund der Regularien nicht in das Spielgeschehen eingreifen durfte, punkteten die Browns nach Belieben.
Bereits nach 14 Sekunden führte Cleveland – in seinem ersten Play-off-Spiel seit Januar 2003 – nach einem missglückten Snap der Steelers und einem Touchdown von Safety Karl Joseph mit 7:0, nach dem ersten Viertel stand es nach zwei Interceptions von Roethlisberger 28:0 für die Browns. Die 28 Zähler waren zudem Play-off-Rekord für ein erstes Viertel.
In Hälfte zwei kam Pittsburgh zwar besser in die Partie, doch Mike Tomlin traf an diesem Abend die ein oder andere unglückliche Entscheidung. So entschied Pittsburghs Trainer beim Stand von 23:35 den Ball im vierten Versuch bei noch einem benötigten Yard zu punten, anstatt den Versuch auszuspielen.
„Wir haben nicht genug getan. Wir haben nicht die nötigen Spielzüge gemacht, besonders in den entscheidenden Szenen nicht“, sagte Tomlin. Für die Steelers, die mit elf Siegen in Serie in die Saison gestartet waren, endete die Saison damit abrupt.
Roethlisberger lässt Zukunft offen
Der traurige Roethlisberger warf zwar vier Touchdown-Pässe und über 501 Yards, leistete sich aber auch insgesamt vier Interceptions, drei davon in der ersten Halbzeit. Ob der 38-Jährige, dessen Vertrag noch ein Jahr läuft, seine Karriere fortsetzt, ließ er nach der Niederlage offen. „Jetzt ist nicht der richtige Zeitpunkt, um darüber zu sprechen.“
Mayfield und die Browns treffen am kommenden Sonntag auf Titelverteidiger Kansas City Chiefs. Ebenfalls am Sonntag messen sich die New Orleans Saints nach ihrem 21:9 gegen die Chicago Bears mit den Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dabei kommt es erneut zum direkten Duell der Quarterback-Superstars Tom Brady und Drew Brees.

Jonah Hill hits the surf in Malibu donning a wetsuit

Jonah Hill was snapped hitting the waves in Malibu on Tuesday, continuing with his ongoing passion for surfing.
The Los Angeles native, 36, donned a wetsuit as he had a few garments in hand, sporting a scruffy face as he stepped out for the winter outing in the water.
The Beach Bum actor appeared to be socially distanced from others amid spiking COVID-19 rates in Southern California.
The Wolf of Wall Street actor spoke last summer with three-time World Surfing League World Champion Mick Fanning about he his passion for the tide later in life.
'It’s always been a secret dream of mine and it looks so free and so beautiful and I’m 35 in a lot of s*** happened in my life, and you kind of realize life‘s too short,' said the Moneyball actor.
Hill said his first ever outing on the waves came August 5, 2019 and he's 'surfed at least five days a week every week since then.'
Hill explained how he didn't surf growing up, spending most of his childhood on a skateboard: 'I grew up in LA, and I grew up skateboarding and I was an overweight, awkward kid - and imagine me jumping into onto a skateboard - so I had to deal with a lot of s*** with a group of friends within skating.'
In the chat, Hill explained how he always was intrigued by surfing, but was hesitant to start as a novice.
'I was kind of like, "Man do I really want to go through the gauntlet again for being the fat kid and learning how to surf?" That doesn’t sound fun having to go that through that again, having gone through the battle wounds of that from skating.'
Hill said that he began his journey with a singular objective: 'My whole goal was to go surf by myself, can I go surf a spot by myself and stand up on waves.'
Hill, who has a fashion line with Adidas, joked that the size of his surfboard made for 'the most frustrating part because obviously I like fashion' and it was harder to keep upright on a smaller surfboard.
'It’s so comically funny because it’s literally all I want is to ride a six foot board,' he said. 'It’s so comically frustrating that if I go to an eight foot board I’m like f***ing flailing all around, I look decent on the nine foot; anything below I look terrible and it’s so frustrating.'
Hill last month took to Instagram with a pair of pictures in tribute to his late older brother Jordan Hill, who died at 40 on December 22, 2017 as result of a pulmonary embolism.
One of the images was the brothers when they were children, another of a screengrab of a playing song that reminded Jonah of Jordan, A Tribe Called Quest's Can I Kick It.
'Celebrating you today,' Hill wrote. 'Listening to this all day. Happy birthday my bro.'
The Maniac actor also referenced his late sibling in a November post on the social media site with a shot of a lion pattern in a shoe he designed.
'Been asked why the Lion in the sole,' Jonah wrote. 'My bro was a Lion and now everything I make from films to clothes to whatever will carry a Lion with it.'
In January of 2020, Jonah took to Instagram with a memory of Jordan, a Beverly Hills talent manager who represented Maroon 5 and Robin Thicke, in the wake of the helicopter crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna and seven others in Calabasas, California on January 26.
He shared a shot of himself sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game with Bryant prominently in the background.
'I’m sitting next to my brother and he’s taking this,' Hill wrote. 'It was the night we both met Kobe and he was so nice to us. So funny, so amazing and so kind (in the middle of a game!). My brother and I grew up worshiping the Lakers and because of my job we got to sit next to Kobe and the whole team! I have lived a privileged life. Truly.
'We were literally buzzing with excitement to meet our hero and it’s one of my favorite memories ever. It’s my favorite memory with my brother. I’m sitting between Kobe and my brother and now they’re both gone.'
Hill said he'd stared 'at this photo for days in disbelief and sadness and joy' in the wake of Bryant's premature death.
'It’s my favorite picture and I think it represents for me, all of the hard and amazing things in life and how fleeting they are,' he said. 'But their fleeting nature doesn’t make them any less beautiful. I’ve been thinking a lot about saying Rest In Peace and what that means. But I don’t think Kobe or my brother are resting.
'I think they’re hustling up there. Working hard and getting s*** done. Cuz that’s what they do. All my love to the ones here left behind. Take care of each other and love each other. That’s the lesson I’ve learned.'

Indonesian plane crash: what we know

A Boeing passenger jet carrying 62 people crashed into the sea minutes after taking off from the Indonesian capital Jakarta at the weekend.
Here's what we know about the disaster so far:
- What happened? -
The Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-500 was en route Saturday from Jakarta to Pontianak city on Borneo island, normally a 90-minute flight, but deviated sharply from its course shortly after take-off and went into a steep dive, according to flight-tracking data and aviation analysts.
Warships, helicopters and divers were deployed in the sea off the mega-city and discovered body parts, wreckage and passenger clothing.
Divers are also looking for the plane's black boxes -- cockpit voice and flight data recorders -- after the authorities said on Sunday they have managed to pinpoint their location.
It is not clear what caused Flight SJ182 to go down near a small archipelago off Jakarta, but analysts have cited such factors as bad weather, pilot error and mechanical malfunction.
A fisherman from Lancang Island, part of the archipelago, told CNN's local affiliate that he heard a noise like an explosion or thunder around the time of the accident. He then saw big waves.
Preliminary data suggested it was "most likely" that the plane was intact when it hit the water, according to a senior Indonesian transport safety agency investigator.
- Who was on board? -
The plane was carrying 50 passengers, including 10 children, and 12 crew members.
The captain was Afwan, a 54-year-old veteran aviator who flew for the Indonesian Air Force from 1987 to 1998, according to local media.
Married with three children, he was known as a devout Muslim and well-respected figure in his local community.
The profile of one of his social media accounts was reported to be a picture of Superman praying alongside the words: "no matter how high you fly, you won't reach heaven if you don't pray five times a day".
Among the passengers were newlyweds Putri Wahyuni and Ihsan Adhlan Hakim, en route to their wedding celebration.
Rapin Akbar spoke to AFP after giving blood for DNA analysis at a hospital where body bags with human remains were being taken. He said he had five relatives on board, including an older sister, a nephew and his wife and their seven-month-old baby.
- What kind of plane was it? -
It was part of the Boeing 737 Classic series, a popular workhorse aircraft that entered service in 1990. The model used by Sriwijaya Air was configured to carry a maximum of 120 passengers, according to the carrier's website.
The jet was 26 years old and had previously been flown by US-based Continental Airlines and United Airlines.
"This (plane) is considered an ageing aircraft and has special added inspections to perform by the airlines to ensure airworthiness," said Michael Daniel, a retired US Federal Aviation Administration officer who is now an international aviation consultant.
It was not a variant of Boeing's newer MAX series, which was grounded worldwide after two deadly crashes six months apart, in Indonesia and Ethiopia.
- Does Indonesia have a poor aviation safety record? -
In short, yes. The number of people flying in the world's biggest archipelagic nation of over 17,000 islands has skyrocketed but safety standards have failed to keep pace.
The most serious crash in recent years was the Lion Air Boeing 737 Max accident in 2018, which claimed 189 lives, although that was blamed on the aircraft's faulty anti-stall system.
Others include the 2014 crash of an AirAsia jet with the loss of 162 lives and a year later, the crash of a military plane shortly after take-off, killing 140 people.
But Sriwijaya Air had not previously recorded a fatal crash since starting operations in 2003.
More minor accidents also occur frequently in a country where conditions for pilots can be challenging, ranging from poorly-maintained runways to mountainous terrain and sudden tropical downpours.
One of the more unusual air accidents in Indonesia happened in 2013 when a passenger jet crashed into a cow and skidded off the runway as it came into land at a small airport on Sulawesi island.
The only casualty was the cow, crushed to death under the Lion Air plane's wheels.

Britney Spears captions selfie 'Looks like the light of God coming in'

She loves a simple, close-up selfie.
But Britney Spears changed it up slightly on Tuesday, when she posted a pretty and ethereal shot of herself to her Instagram in which she was seen at a sunny window.
The Womanizer hitmaker, 39, had her hair down over her shoulders as she stared sumptuously into the camera while a balustrade and some plants were visible in the background.
One side of the frame was completely awash in sunlight, causing a sunburst affect.
Brit was in a frilly white floral lace top, with an open panel at the chest.
In the caption she observed, 'Looks like the light of God coming in' following that with a string of emojis including a sun and a variety of faces.
Normally, the mother of two has the habit of posting endless versions of the same unsmiling selfie taken outside.
Most if not all of those photos feature her head tilted slightly down, and her black eye make up highly visible.
Oftentimes, the Grammy winner will change the filter slightly to justify her posting the same picture three or more times.
Britney‘s other go-to on her Instagram feed, which is followed by 27.1 million people, is to post homemade dance or workout video routines.
Her strange and vacant-seeming presence on the social media platform has been one of the elements that has led her fans to establish the #FreeBritney movement, which concerns itself primarily with protecting Britney's mental health and wellbeing.
The movement also takes issue with the long-standing conservatorship that Spears is locked in under her father, Jamie Spears.

Jack Vidgen will open up about his cosmetic transformation on Wednesday night's episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
In a preview obtained by Woman's Day, the 23-year-old singer admits to getting fillers throughout his entire face - not just his lips and cheeks.
In a conversation with co-star Pettifleur Berenger, The Voice and Australia's Got Talent star also reveals he recently lost 10kg.
'I've had heaps of filler,' he says.
'I didn't have any lips. I used to try all sorts of things: fillers in the cheeks, fillers in the jaw, fillers in the nose, everything.'
After being asked by Pettifleur about his facial changes, Jack responds: 'If someone's happy - and they look like a circus clown - if they're happy, they're happy.'
He then admits to getting a full set of porcelain veneers 'for cosmetic reasons'.
This isn't the first time that Jack has opened up about his physical transformation on the Channel 10 reality show.
During the season premiere, the star admitted to having had cosmetic surgery.
'So I've had my lips done. I've had Botox. So at least when I get into the jungle, and, like, as a challenge, no one will be able to tell if I'm surprised or if I'm sad or if I'm crying, because I can't move!' he said.
Jack rose to fame as a baby-faced teenager on Australia's Got Talent in 2011.
Fans will remember Jack when he returned to the spotlight as a contestant on The Voice Australia in 2019.
While he impressed the judges with his vocal talents, viewers were baffled by how much his appearance had changed since his early career.
Many suspected cosmetic procedures were behind the transformation, and Jack later confirmed 'it's pretty obvious I've had my lips done with fillers'.

Ashley Benson looked fit and fabulous as she showed off her post-workout glow on Instagram Tuesday.
The Pretty Little Liars star, 31, exuded confidence as she put her gym-honed figure on display in a sporty and sexy ensemble from luxury athleisure brand Alo.
Ashley offered a peachy look at her backside as she turned around to model a pair of tiny pink shorts which hugged her perfect figure.
It looked like her Pilates sessions were doing the trick, as evident from the star's toned and tan legs.
Ashley bundled up a bit on top, tossing on a brown half-zip hoodie.
She also shared an after-exercise selfie, flaunting smooth skin and arched brows while raking her dirty blonde locks back into a messy half-ponytail.
As the Spring Breakers beauty gazed at the camera, her chocolate-colored top was unzipped to offer a tiny peek at a rosy top which matched her short-shorts.
Benson loved the look so much she took to her Instagram grid to share her flattering new ensemble.
The star looked like she was in her element as she lounged in a sunny backyard.
She seemed peaceful, looking off into the distance in the shot, which was captioned: 'Post-Pilates in @alo.'
Ashley's candid snapshots come after beau G-Eazy proudly proclaimed his love for the actress on her birthday last month.
The 31-year-old No Limits rapper posted a photo series of Benson to Instagram as he gushed: 'Happy birthday beautiful @ashleybenson. I love you to the moon & back.'
Ashley and Eazy - real name Gerald Earl Gillum - first went public in May, not long after Benson's breakup from long-term girlfriend Cara Delevingne.
Prior to his relationship with Benson, the musician was with singer Halsey.

Sinan Kurt galt einst als großes Talent. Doch der Mittelfeldspieler konnte sich weder bei den Bayern noch bei Hertha durchsetzen. Er fiel mehr durch Extravaganzen als durch Leistung auf. Jetzt konnte er nicht mal mehr in der vierten Liga Fuß fassen.
Es sollte eine Rückkehr zu seinen Wurzeln werden. Sinan Kurt wechselte aus der zweiten österreichischen Liga von der WSG Wattens zum Straelen. Der Spieler, der einst als eines der größten Talente des deutschen Fußballs gegolten hatte, war in der Regionalliga gestrandet. Unterklassiger Fußball, aber immerhin nur 30 Kilometer von Mönchengladbach entfernt, wo Kurt bei der Borussia das Fußballspielen lernte.
„Über Kontakte bin ich hierhergekommen. Ich kenne ein paar Spieler noch aus meiner Zeit in Gladbach. Ich war ohne Verein, hatte mich selbst einigermaßen fit gehalten, und so hat sich das eben ergeben“, sagte Kurt im „Kicker“ über seinen Wechsel nach Straelen in die Provinz.
Doch auch in der Regionalliga scheiterte Kurt, der 2014 als 18-Jähriger seinen Wechsel aus Gladbach zum FC Bayern erpresst hatte. Nach Informationen von „Reviersport“ soll der SV Straelen den Vertrag mit Kurt aufgelöst haben. Klubboss Hermann Tecklenburg soll mit den Leistungen des 24-Jährigen nicht zufrieden gewesen sein. Da Kurt zu den Topverdienern des Teams gehört haben soll, forcierte er die Trennung.
In den vergangenen drei Spielen kam Kurt schon nicht mehr zum Einsatz. Seine Bilanz in der Regionalliga ist schwach: In sieben Partien erzielte er keinen Treffer und gab zwei Vorlagen. Kurt absolvierte nur ein Spiel über die volle Distanz für Straelen, das als Aufsteiger auf dem zwölften Tabellenplatz der Regionalliga West steht.
Bayern zahlte drei Millionen Euro für Kurt
Kurt durchlief alle Jugendabteilungen bei Borussia Mönchengladbach und galt als sicherer Kandidat für den Profikader. Doch er absolvierte kein Spiel für die Borussia in der Bundesliga, weil er als 18-Jähriger zu den Bayern ging. Die Münchener zahlten nach einem Transferstreit mit Gladbach drei Millionen Euro für den Mittelfeldspieler.
Kurt konnte sich bei den Bayern nicht durchsetzen und spielte unter dem damaligen Trainer Pep Guardiola nur eine Halbzeit. Es sollten nur noch vier Bundesliga-Minuten für Hertha BSC dazukommen. In München fiel Kurt vor allem mit Extravaganzen auf: Seinen Friseur ließ er aus Düsseldorf einfliegen, im Urlaub charterte er für 1900 Euro in Frankreich einen Hubschrauber.
2016 verließt Kurt München in Richtung Berlin, doch auch bei Hertha schaffte er nicht den erhofften Durchbruch. Er kam nur zu zwei Kurzeinsätzen in der Bundesliga und spielte ansonsten nur bei der Reserve der Berliner. 2019 ging er in die zweite österreichische Liga zur WSG Wattens.

Netanyahu to appear in court February 8 for Israel graft trial

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to appear in court on February 8 after his trial for corruption was delayed due to a novel coronavirus lockdown, judges said on Monday.
Netanyahu's trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust began last May, with the premier being excused from subsequent hearings as his lawyers argued for more time to review prosecution evidence.
The Israeli premier was due to be in court on January 13 for the presentation of his formal response to the charges, but the hearing was postponed in the face of a lockdown to combat the spread of Covid-19.
Last week the Jerusalem district court delayed that hearing, citing the "large amount of participants... and the lockdown", but did not set a new date.
On Monday, however, it said the hearing would now take place on February 8.
Israel last month imposed its third national lockdown since the start of the pandemic, but tightened the restrictions on Friday after the daily caseload remained high.
The end of the lockdown is currently set for January 21.
Netanyahu, 71, is the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history and the first to be indicted while in office.
The premier, who is facing re-election in March, says the charges against him are part of a witch-hunt to drive him from office.
The prosecution has assembled more than 300 witnesses to back its allegations.
They say Netanyahu accepted improper gifts and sought to illegally trade favours with media moguls in exchange for positive coverage.
Last month, the court ordered the prosecution to amend the charge sheet against Netanyahu to differentiate between him and family members mentioned in it, who are not on trial.
Under Israeli law, a sitting prime minister does not have automatic immunity from prosecution, but is not obliged to resign when charged, only when convicted and after all avenues of appeal have been exhausted.

Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor team up in heist film Locked Down

Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor star as a couple on the verge of separation in their upcoming new heist film, Locked Down, which will be released on January 14.
In the flick's new trailer, released on Tuesday, the 38-year-old Oscar winner stars as Linda, who is forced to navigate a mandatory lockdown, which coincides with her untimely decision to breakup with her estranged partner Paxton (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
While continuing to cohabit together proves to be challenging, the duo ultimately devise a plan to steal a diamond from the department store Harrods to ease their financial troubles.
The nearly three-minute teaser begins with Paxton describing the lockdown in London to be a 'psychological prison of burning aloneness' to his pals.
When someone asks him how Linda is doing he curtly replies: 'She's somewhere in this house.'
'Is there some type of issue?' another asks of their relationship, prompting him to explain they are 'fine,' but Linda was 'planning to end' their 'thing.'
Paxton complains: 'For two weeks, we are locked together here.'
Meanwhile, footage cuts to Linda screaming outside and, later, saying: 'Not only is everything not okay, nothing is okay.'
Paxton becomes furloughed from his job and says 'there is literally zero purpose' to his life, before stepping out of their home to bring back provisions.
Upon standing in line at a grocery store, he asks a a man toting multiple bags of toilet paper: ''Hey, how many **ses have you got?'
Linda battles having to lay off members of her team and feels responsible for them being fired.
'It's not about the virus, it's about who I am and what I do for a living,' she says.
As her supervisors praise her, they inquire about her choice to be drinking a glass of wine during work hours.
Exhausted and frustrated, news breaks that all major department stores are closing and everything inside them has to be moved out in four days.
She, then, tells her husband 'since lockdown' she has been looking back on herself 'like that was then and this is now.'
'Those bastards who told me to fire those people, they're bad,' she said of her bosses.
She continues: 'You and I are good and good is better than bad.'
'You're talking about stealing a diamond,' he points out. 'That's three million pounds.'
He continues: 'Live wild or die, Linda.'
'Harrods is the most glamorous store in the world,' she says, while walking through the department store. 'I know all the security guards. I know the security systems.'
Their risky and illegal shenanigans appear to bring them closer and closer together as they can be seen sharing a kiss at the end of the trailer.
Earlier this week, Hathaway gushed about her character and how the experience of filming in the pandemic about the pandemic felt for her.
The actress and mother of two told People that the experience making the movie was 'very normal' in some ways, but also 'completely wild.'
Anne said that 'the sheer act of making it, of doing something so collaborative and audacious made us all very focused and open - and strangely free.'
Adding: 'Like the odds were so against us anyway that is made me want to lean into the exhilaration and take risks with my performance.'
While she felt safe at work, the star did say she felt nervous taking off her mask amid the alarming number of cases of COVID-19 around the world.
The Oscar winner said: 'It was scary taking my mask off every day, and so I really appreciated how committed the crew was to keeping their masks on - even when we were shooting in hot rooms and they were carrying heavy camera and lighting equipment they were always, always masked. Their professionalism helped keep me safe, and I was incredibly grateful to them.'
The film, which is a heist/romantic comedy according to Deadline, was shot in London during the pandemic by director Doug Liman and will debut on HBO Max.

Nicole Trunfio says she's 'not sick' with Covid-19 in hotel quarantine

Nicole Trunfio is currently on day four of hotel quarantine in Australia after flying in from the U.S. last week.
The model, 34, shared several videos to Instagram on Wednesday of herself doing workouts, adding the hashtags #quarantine and #day4.
But her hashtags seemed to cause concern among her followers, prompting the mother of three to clarify she was doing fine.
She made it clear she didn't have Covid-19 and was instead in a hotel because all overseas travellers must do 14 days of quarantine upon arrival in Australia.
She explained: 'I'm not sick. I flew to Australia a few days ago and the protocol for coming to Australia is - first of all they're not letting anyone in, period. It has to be a very special reason.'
While Nicole did not specify her 'special reason' for flying home, she revealed that her flight over was packed with 50 passengers.
'When you get here you get a police escort, you go on a bus, you get taken to a Covid hotel. There's many of them around the city, that is dedicated towards people coming into the country,' she said.
'You get locked in a hotel room, a nice one, for two weeks, 14 days.'
The Bumpsuit founder reassured fans she was being taken care of in quarantine.
Nicole added: 'I'm really proud of the way that Australia's handling this pandemic, it's really strict.
'It's really comfortable as uncomfortable as it is. And I'm kind of proud to be Australian right now.'
Although Nicole appeared by herself in the clip, one of her children could be heard playing in the background.
She and her husband, musician Gary Clark Jr., welcomed their third child, daughter Ella Wolf, in February last year.
The couple are also parents to son Zion, five, and daughter Gia, two.

Warum die Boeing 737-500 vor der Insel Java abstürzte, ist weiter unklar. Fischer berichten, eine Explosion gehört zu haben. Jetzt haben Einsatzkräfte ein erstes Todesopfer identifiziert.
Nach der Flugzeugtragödie in Indonesien mit vermutlich 62 Toten haben Suchtrupps bis Montag Teile der Turbine der Boeing 737-500 aus dem Meer geborgen. Ein Marineschiff habe sie mittels eines 3-D-Sonargeräts entdeckt, sagte Militärsprecher Orri Ronsumbre. Die Bemühungen, den bereits am Sonntag georteten Flugschreiber zu bergen, gingen derweil weiter. Die sogenannte Black Box kann dabei helfen, die Unglücksursache zu klären.
Einsatzkräfte identifizierten ein erstes Todesopfer. Das teilte Polizeisprecher Rusdi Hartono am Montag mit. Angehörige stellten DNA-Proben bereit, um bei der Identifizierung der Toten zu helfen.
Bisher seien die Teile einer zerstörten Turbine, zahlreiche Trümmerteile und 40 Behälter mit menschlichen Überresten an Land gebracht worden, teilte die nationale Such- und Rettungsagentur mit. „Unser Fokus liegt darauf, die Leichen der Opfer zu bergen“, sagte Behördenchef Bagus Puruhito.
Die Maschine der indonesischen Gesellschaft Sriwijaya Air war am Samstag kurz nach dem Start in Jakarta ins Meer gestürzt und zerschellt. Bereits am Sonntag hatten Taucher in 23 Metern Tiefe Trümmerteile, persönliche Gegenstände und menschliche Überreste im Wasser entdeckt und an Land gebracht.
Das 27 Jahre alte Passagierflugzeug war auf dem Weg nach Pontianak auf der Insel Borneo, als es kurz nach dem Start vom Radar verschwand. Danach war das Schicksal der Maschine zunächst ungewiss. Am Sonntag hatten die Einsatzkräfte schließlich Signale empfangen und die Flugschreiber in der Javasee geortet.
In Indonesien herrschte große Trauer. Zahlreiche Menschen zeigten sich auf sozialen Netzwerken bestürzt und drückten den Angehörigen ihr Mitgefühl aus. Viele Familienmitglieder hatten lange noch auf ein Wunder gehofft und im Krisenzentrum am Flughafen auf Informationen gewartet. An Bord waren auch sieben Kinder und drei Babys.
Die Ursache für das Unglück war weiter unklar. Jedoch herrscht in Indonesien Regenzeit. Die Maschine war wegen heftiger Niederschläge mit Verspätung gestartet.
Daten des schwedischen Internetdienstes Flightradar24 zeigten, dass die Maschine kurz nach dem Abheben stark an Höhe verlor. Danach war sie nördlich von Java verschwunden.
Schlechte Bilanz Indonesiens bei Flugzeugunglücken
Der Absturz des Flugzeugs in Indonesien warf erneut ein Schlaglicht auf die Sicherheit in der Luftfahrtindustrie des Landes. Die Bilanz Indonesiens mit Blick auf Unglücke in der Luftfahrt ist eine der schlechtesten in Asien, seit 1945 gab es mehr Unfälle in der zivilen Luftfahrt als in jedem anderen Land der Region. Unglücke wurden in der Vergangenheit etwa auf eine mangelhafte Pilotenausbildung, technische Fehler oder solche in der Luftraumüberwachung- und Verkehrssteuerung zurückgeführt – oder auch auf schlechte Wartung von Flotten.
Für eine umfassende Bewertung des jüngsten Absturzes ist es noch zu früh. Experten halten eine Reihe von Ursachen für möglich: menschliche Fehler, den Zustand des 26 Jahre alten Flugzeugs, schlechte Wetterverhältnisse in der Hauptstadt Jakarta, von wo die Boeing gestartet war.
Fischer gaben an, eine Explosion gehört zu haben
Fischer in der Nähe des Absturzorts sagten, sie hätten eine Explosion gehört und danach Wrackteile und Öl im Wasser gesehen. Weil heftige Regenfälle die Sicht erschwerten, fielen die Zeugenaussagen nicht umfangreicher aus. Die Fluggesellschaft hat keine lange Historie größerer Katastrophen. Jedoch starb 2008 ein Bauer, als ein Flugzeug von der Startbahn abkam.
Nach Angaben der Airline war das Flugzeug, das zuvor im Dienste amerikanischer Luftfahrtunternehmen stand, verkehrstauglich. Es hatte am Tag des Verschwindens demnach schon einen Flug absolviert. Ob der Flieger tatsächlich keine Mängel aufwies, ist Teil einer laufenden Untersuchung.
Die Sriwijaya Air wurde 2003 gegründet. Sie deckt hauptsächlich Inlandsverbindungen im Inselstaat Indonesien ab, hat aber auch internationale Strecken etwa nach Malaysia im Angebot.

Folklore's lead single has also been nominated for the Grammy for Song of the Year.
The singer delighted fans when she confirmed that boyfriend Joe Alwyn co-wrote a few songs on Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.
Swift's surprise second album of 2020 Evermore also made number one on the Billboard 200 following it's release on December 11 and stayed there for two weeks.
The artist now has nine albums selling more than a million copies to her name.
In addition to Folklore, there's the 2006 self-titled release, 2007's The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection, 2008's Fearless, 2010's Speak Now, 2012's Red, 2014's 1989, 2017's Reputation and 2019's Lover.

Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli, who pulled out of a Test series in Australia to attend the birth of his first child, said Monday his Bollywood actress wife Anushka Sharma had delivered a girl.
The captain, who returned to Mumbai after playing in the first Test in Adelaide, said Sharma and their daughter were doing well.
"Anushka and the baby are both healthy and we are feeling beyond blessed to start this new chapter of our lives," Kohli, 32, tweeted.
The pair married in Italy in December 2017 after being in a relationship for several years.
Sharma, 32, is one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood. She was last seen on the big screen in the 2018 film "Zero", and has also been working on content for streaming platforms.
The announcement came as India salvaged a hard-fought draw in the third Test in Sydney on Monday after being set a daunting target of 407.
"Welcome to parenthood. A big hug to the little one, who'll give you happiness like you've never experienced before," tweeted fellow cricketer all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

She's one of Australia's most in-demand models, and Kelly Gale showed exactly why in a series of posts shared to Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
The Victoria's Secret beauty, 25, flaunted her incredible body while spending the day at the beach with her boyfriend, Swedish actor Joel Kinnaman.
Sharing a video of herself kneeling down on the sand, Kelly worked her angles as she posed seductively for the camera.
She donned a skimpy hot pink bikini, which showed off her toned physique and bronzed skin to perfection.
Her bikini top featured strategic cut-outs, which flaunted her ample cleavage, and her high-cut briefs highlighted her pert bottom.
Kelly kept the sun off her face with a baseball cap emblazoned with the words 'Peace & Quiet' across the front.
Her long brunette hair was swept up in a low bun, and she appeared fresh-faced with minimal makeup.
'Beach day,' she simply captioned the video.
In another post on Instagram Stories, Kelly shared a video of someone who looked like Joel, 41, navigating the waves on a surfboard.
'Tryna watch Joel surf out there but they all look the same... I'm like ohhh, there he is, look at him gooo wooho, nope that wasn't him,' she captioned the post.
In a 2018 interview with Grazia, Kelly said variety was the secret to her workouts.
'I like to mix it up, so sometimes I train with my personal trainer, sometimes I take classes because I feel like my body gets very used to it if I just do the same thing all the time,' she explained.

Kelly Rowland raved about a pregnancy belly mask Tuesday on social media as her due date approaches.
The 39-year-old singer posted a video on her Instagram Stories after applying a Hatch belly mask to her growing bare stomach while coping with back pain.
'It is giving me so much relief right now,' Kelly said while filming herself in a mirror for her roughly 10.7 million followers.
She wore a black bra and loose leopard-print shorts as she turned in profile.
'But this belly though. This belly though,' Kelly said whimsically.
'I'm out here, right? It's almost time,' she added.
The former Destiny's Child member confirmed her pregnancy in October when she was six months along and is due to give birth imminently.
It will be the second child for the singer who has six-year-old son Titan with husband Tim Weatherspoon, 46.
Kelly explained in a cover interview for the October issue of Women's Health magazine that the couple were prompted to add to their family in part because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
'We had been talking about it loosely, and then COVID happened, and we were just like: "Let's see what happens'',' Rowland said.
Kelly and Tim got married in May 2014 welcomed their son Titan the following November.
The family's annual Christmas card featured Kelly in a figure-hugging dress that showcased her burgeoning baby bump.
'Wishing you a beautiful holiday season and blessed New Year! - The Weatherspoons,' read the card that showed Kelly with her arm wrapped around her belly.

Ein 19-Jähriger ist am Kölner Hauptbahnhof mit einer scharfen Handgranate im Rucksack festgenommen worden. Eine Streife habe den alkoholisierten Mann, der sich nicht habe ausweisen können, am frühen Samstagmorgen kontrolliert, berichtete die Bundespolizei am Montag.
In seinem Gepäck sei dabei „griffbereit“ die Granate entdeckt worden. Der alarmierte Entschärfungsdienst stufte den Sprengkörper jugoslawischer Bauart wenig später als „scharf“ ein.
Gegen den 19-Jährigen aus Bosnien und Herzegowina wird nun wegen eines Verstoßes gegen das Kriegswaffenkontrollgesetz ermittelt. Er gab laut Polizei an, die Granate in „seinem Urlaub in Bosnien auf einer Wiese gefunden und mitgenommen zu haben“. Bei einer Durchsuchung seiner Wohnung in Bielefeld wurden keine weiteren verbotenen Gegenstände entdeckt.

Lebanon considers tighter lockdown amid coronavirus surge

BEIRUT (AP) - Lebanon´s caretaker prime minister said Monday the country has entered a "very critical zone" in the battle against the coronavirus as his government mulls tightening the nationwide lockdown announced last week.
Following a new post-holiday surge in infections, the Lebanese government imposed a nationwide lockdown and a nighttime curfew. But many were critical of the measures, calling them lax for exempting many sectors, such as factories, plant nurseries and exchange bureaus.
Lebanon's handling of the virus surge amid a deepening economic crisis has been under scrutiny, with many saying hesitant policies have failed to contain it.
Despite a rise in infections, the government relaxed restrictions ahead of Christmas and New Year´s celebrations, hoping to boost a crumbling local economy. Bars and nightclubs, which had been ordered shut for months, were allowed to open.
Penalties against big holiday gatherings and parties were not evenly and strictly imposed. On Sunday, a soccer match was allowed to take place in the northern Tripoli province with an audience.
Doctors and experts say the extent of the spread has yet to be felt, predicting numbers will skyrocket in the coming days, overwhelming health facilities in the country of nearly 6 million. Daily infection rates have hovered above 3,000, hitting an all-time high of over 5,000 last week.
Lawmakers and officials have called on the government to consider a 24-hour lockdown without exemptions. There have been calls for the Beirut airport to be shut. Some 80,000 Lebanese expats had returned to the country during the holidays, but doctors say the transmission remains mainly among non-expats.
On Monday, panic buyers swarmed supermarkets after reports the government planned to also order them shut in the tightened lockdown. Long lines formed outside chain supermarkets, sparking fear the crowds could further spread the virus.
Ahead of a ministerial meeting to consider new measures, Caretaker Prime Minister Hassan Diab blamed careless behavior for the spread, saying many Lebanese still consider the virus a hoax and are not taking it seriously.
"We have entered a very critical zone in terms of the coronavirus spread or at a minimum, we are at the gates of that zone," Diab said.
Last Friday, the World Health Organization said 76% of hospital beds were occupied while the ICU bed occupancy had reached 88%, with the highest in Beirut. Some 2,291 health care workers had been infected by Jan. 8, up from 2,015 three days earlier.
Kayssar Mawad, director of a private hospital in Zgharta in northern Lebanon, said he has been turning cases away because there were no more beds. Out of 35 patients there with COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus, seven are in ICU, he said. The region is one of the country's hotspots.
"It is a difficult period," said Mawad. "We are refusing many cases. There are no places, no more respirators."
Since February, Lebanon has recorded more than 219,000 infections and 1,606 deaths. Hospitals have appealed to the government to turn all health facilities into treating coronavirus patients, saying all 15,000 hospital beds are needed to meet the new surge.
At the largest public hospital in Beirut, the Rafik Hariri University hospital, doctors and nurses were overwhelmed with new patients and all the 40 ICU beds were fully occupied. "We are in the heart of the crisis," said nurse Therese Gobar.
Jad Chaaban, a Lebanese economist and political activist, tweeted that Lebanon "is dying" and called it "another chapter" of the "criminal incompetence" of the authorities.
Lebanon's political class was facing a wave of antigovernment protests before the virus outbreak. The protesters blamed the long-serving political elite for mismanaging. Then, a massive explosion last August in Beirut's port killed over 200 people and injured thousands. The blast, caused by the ignition of explosive chemicals stored there for years, has been blamed on gross negligence.

She’s gifted in seeing the brighter side of any situation.
Kate Beckinsale shared a screen capture of a highly amusing text exchange with her daughter Lily Mo Sheen on Tuesday, along with an equally entertaining caption.
The Brokedown Palace star, 47, received a message from her daughter, 21, that detailed a rather odd dream she had.
The messages came underneath a photo of Kate’s rather unfortunate-looking gray cat Willow, who regularly makes appearances all over her social media feed.
'I just woke up from a dream where u had gotten pregnant w twins from a 1 night stand w nick nolte,' Lily‘s text to her mother read.
Beckinsale responded, 'By far the meanest text you have ever sent me'.
In the caption, the White Out star wrote, 'It’s just nice to know you’re on your child’s mind really'.
Lily Mo is the actress’s daughter with her ex-partner Michael Sheen.
Kate and Michael, 51, were in a relationship from 1995 until 2003, after meeting while touring with a theatrical production of The Seagull.
Sheen also appeared with Beckinsale in the Underworld films, directed by Len Wiseman.
During the filming of the first film released in 2003, Kate and her director fell in love, going on to get married a year later.
The pair do not have any children and announced their separation in late 2015.
Their divorce was finalized four years later, in November 2019.
As for Michael, he has been in a new relationship with Swedish actress Anna Lundberg since 2019.
He and Anna, 25, welcomed their daughter Lyra late that same year.

She recently returned to Los Angeles with her daughter Stormi, two, after vacationing in celeb-friendly Aspen with her mother Kris and older sister Kendall.
And Kylie Jenner looked happy to be back inside her Holmby Hills mansion as she posed for a slew of snapshots in her spacious living room on Tuesday.
'mommy goose,' captioned the makeup mogul, 23, who put on a busty display in a sheer button-up cardigan.
She layered a lacy nude bra beneath her tight fitting top and completed her outfit with a pair of ivory toned mini shorts.
Despite recently deciding to rock her 'natural' short hair, Kylie amplified her look by throwing on a faux ponytail that flowed down her back in loose waves.
The Kylie Cosmetics CEO sported a full face of ultra glamorous makeup, which consisted of some smokey eyeshadow, a generous amount of lip gloss, and a bit of highlighter on her cheekbones.
Jenner accessorized by fastening a single pendant chain around her neck and slipping some rings onto her freshly manicured fingers.
For one of the sultry snapshots, Kylie posed with one hand on her chest as she flipped her ruby red ponytail.
Another showed the star leaning back into her fuzzy white lounge chair with her legs crossed.
Resting behind Kylie was a highly organized bookshelf complete with various reads and some eclectic statues.
After sharing her self-portraits with her 208million followers, Jenner quickly earned a ton of complimentary comments, including a few from her BFF Stassie Karanikolaou.
'ARE U SERIOUS RIGHT NOW,' wrote Stassie, who was clearly wowed by her best friend's gorgeous get-up.
'I WANNA KISS U,' admitted Karanikolaou, which earned over 2,000 likes from Kylie's massive fanbase.
Seeing Stassie's comments, Kylie made sure to send the fellow model a kissy face emoji.
Kylie and her daughter Stormi, as well as her mother Kris, 65, and older sister Kendall, 25, touched back down in Los Angeles on Monday night.
Kris was the first to touch down with her boyfriend Corey Gamble, 40, while the Jenner girls and Stormi spent some extra time in the ski-resort city.
As they waited for the jet to return for them, Kylie and her daughter Stormi - Kendall was seemingly MIA - partook in a snowboarding lesson.
Kylie captured the entire session on her Instagram Story, including her hilarious reaction to Stormi's impressive snowboarding skills.
The little one, whom Kylie shares with rapper Travis Scott, 28, looked undeniably sweet in a neon green helmet with matching goggles and a fitted grey snowsuit.
Sunday's lesson was just one of many snowboarding lessons that Stormi indulge in during her family's extravagant New Year's trip.
Once darkness fell, the remaining members of the Jenner family hopped aboard the Kylie Cosmetics CEO's luxurious private jet and headed home.
During their trip to Aspen, the family stayed in a four-story mansion cost the group a shocking $450,000 for a month's-long stay, or $25,000 for daily rentals.
And before fleeing the winter wonderland, Kylie treated her followers on Instagram to a virtual tour of the opulent vacation home.
The massive mansion covers 20,000sq ft with seven bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and half bathrooms.
The home's open-level approach may not appeal to people with a fear of heights, as the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star revealed that the home has a glass floor surrounded by sofas that appeared to overlook the front entrance.
Kylie and her vacation crew arrived to their snow-filled destination just in time to ring in 2021.
Missing from the memorable trip were older sisters Kourtney, 41, Kim, 40, and Khloe, 36, as well as their significant others and kids.
Despite not holding their annual Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Eve party this year due to COVID-19, the entire family did attend a family-only celebration at Kourtney's house.

MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry's move to Los Angeles after stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family has been branded a "pointless exercise in self-exile" by an expert.
|
MEGHAN MARKLE and Prince Harry's move to Los Angeles after stepping down as senior members of the Royal Family has been branded a "pointless exercise in self-exile" by an expert.
Hugo Vickers, royal biographer for Queen Elizabeth I, Queen Mary and the Duchess of Windsor, said the Duke of Sussex is “isolated” from the Royal Family since his step down from life as a working royal. His comments come ahead of a planned summit reviewing the Sussexes royal status with Queen Elizabeth II, which is said to be scrapped due to coronavirus.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Mr Vickers said it seems unlikely the LA-based Sussex royals will be speaking to the monarch in person over their status as royals.
He added: “There’s supposed to be a summit with the Sussexes in March.
“I can’t see them coming over to discuss this personally.
"He’s isolated from his family, the army, his friends, the Commonwealth. It’s a pointless existence in self-exile.”

Meghan and Harry have purchased a mansion in Montecito, LA, believed to be worth $14 million.
The move came after the Sussexes stepped down from full-time royal duties in March last year.
Mr Vickers described how Harry had been doing “such a good job” as a working royal, touting his time in the Army and work for the Commonwealth as “good for him”.
He added: “He seemed to have found his level and his skill. During the NHS clapping.
“I thought how, after the Cambridges clapped, it would have been great to have heard from him.”
It comes as Harry and Meghan have scrapped plans to meet with the Queen for talks about their status as royals, according to the Daily Mirror.
The Sussex royals were believed to have wanted a 12 month extension to their current arrangement with the Royal Family, which would see them keep their titles and status as royals until 2022.
But England’s third coronavirus lockdown has curbed plans for the Duke to return to the UK to discuss his royal future with the monarch.
Royal sources told the Mirror Harry had “not yet attempted to contact” the Queen for a meeting, but an arrangement was expected.

Harry is believed to want to retain his military appointments afforded to him as a royal with the year-long extension.
But senior royal advisers are understood to be concerned about how Meghan and Harry signed multi-million dollar deals with media giants like Spotify and Netflix.
The Sun reported advisers are closely inspecting the contracts stuck by the Sussexes to make sure they are keeping in-line with “the values of Her Majesty”.
Despite the concerns over the deals, the latest discussions over Meghan and Harry’s role status are said to be “less confrontational” than those at Sandringham last year.
It also follows Andrew Morton, royal biographer, claiming the Sussex royals are hoping to return to the UK for the Queen’s 95th birthday, Prince Philip’s 100th birthday and a statue unveiling for Princess Diana in Kensington Palace.
Mr Morton said, should coronavirus restrictions allow, Harry “wants to meet face-to-face’ with the Royal Family.
He added to the Daily Mail: “Harry has been in contact with the Queen more often than you would think. But certain things you need to be there in person to sort.
“They will need a few weeks. That could be done after April, depending on Covid.”

Gürkay GÜNDOĞAN/ZONGUKLDAK, (DHA)ZONGULDAK Valisi Mustafa Tutulmaz, Karadeniz açıklarında bulunan doğalgazın Filyos Limanı'ndan karaya çıkarılması için yapılacak çalışmalarda 2 bin kişinin istihdam edileceğini söyledi. Filyos Endüstri Bölgesi'nde ise 12 bin kişinin istihdam edilmesinin planlandığını ifade eden Vali Tutulmaz, "Buna sera, Organize Sanayi Bölgesi (OSB) ve diğer OSB'ler eklendiğinde orada 20 bin kişinin üzerinde bir çalışan olacak" dedi.Zonguldak Valiliği tarafından Polisevi'nde 2020 Yılı Değerlendirme Toplantısı gerçekleştirildi. Toplantıda konuşan Vali Tutulmaz, kentin öne çıkan projeleri ve çalışmaları hakkında bilgi verdi. Vali Tutulmaz, Çaycuma ilçesine bağlı Filyos beldesinde liman ve endüstri bölgelerinden oluşan projelerdeki son gelişmeleri anlattı. Filyos Projesi'nin bölgenin kalkınması adına çok önemli olduğunu vurgulayan Vali Tutulmaz, "İlimiz geleceği açısından önemli projelerden bir tanesi Filyos Vadi Projesi. Burası birkaç projenin birlikte olduğu bir proje. Liman, endüstri bölgesi, serbest ticaret bölgesi, lojistik bölgesi, onun arkasında OSB, sera OSB, aslında Filyos vadisini Devrek ilçesine kadar götüren alanda bir çalışma. Önümüzdeki yüzyılda bu bölgenin yılı olarak görebiliriz. Bunlar kısa vadede sanayinin üretimin, ülkemizin gelişmesinin önemli merkezlerinden biri olacak" dedi.'FİLYOS'TA 20 BİN KİŞİ ÜZERİNDE BİR ÇALIŞAN OLACAK'Filyos Limanı'nın yüzde 99'unun tamamlandığını ifade eden Vali Tutulmaz, Türkiye Petrolleri Anonim Ortaklığı'nın yaklaşık 7 aydır limanda çalışmalar yaptığını söyledi. Enerji ve Tabii Kaynaklar Bakanı Fatih Dönmez'in doğalgazın Filyos'tan karaya çıkartılacağı yönündeki açıklamaları hatırlatan Vali Tutulmaz, şöyle konuştu:"Bu bölge içerisinde doğalgazın borularının hazırlanması, döşenmesi yine sondaj çalışmalarında 2 binin üzerinde kişi çalışmaya başlayacak. 2 binin üzerinde orada bir istihdam olacak. 2 bin kişinin harcamasının bir kısmını Zonguldak'ta bırakıyor olması önemlidir ama uzun vadede o gazın buraya çıkmasının ilimiz açısından önemi vardır. Dağıtma ana hatta buradan gidiyor olması ilimizin yeniden ülkemizin önemli illeri arasına sokuyor. Bu da geleceğe yönelik umutla bakmamız anlamına geliyor. Burada doğrudan ilk etapta sadece endüstri bölgesinde 12 bin kişinin çalışacağı beklentisi var. Buna serayla ve OSB'ler ile orada 20 bin kişi üzerinde bir çalışan olacak. Çalışanlarla, aileleriyle orada büyük bir hareketlilik olacak. İlimiz adına sevindirici bir durum. Bu anlamda istihdam anlamında ihtiyaç iş gücüne yönelik çalışmalarımız olacak. Cam ve çelikle ilgili o bölgede çalışmalar olacak. Ne tür iş gücü gerekiyorsa ona göre eğitimler verme kanaatindeyiz."'PANDEMİDE REHAVETE KAPILACAK DURUMDA DEĞİLİZ'Vali Tutulmaz, koronavirüs salgınıyla ilgili kentin son durumu hakkında da bilgiler verdi. Büyük sıkıntılar atlattıkları dönemler olduğunu ifade eden Vali Tutulmaz, "Kurban bayramıyla birlikte yeniden yükseliş başladı. Kasım ayı içerisinde epey bir yüksek rakama ulaştı. Son dönemle alınan yeni karar ve tedbirlerle beraber yeniden bir düşüş eğilimine geçti. Şu anda iyi bir konuma doğru ilerliyoruz her geçen gün. Ancak bu bize tedbirlere devam etmemizi hatırlatıyor. Biz serbest konuma geçersek aynı sıkıntıyı yine yaşayacağız. Şu anki mevcut konum rehaveti gidilecek konum değil. Hala sıkıntılar var ancak bir ay önceye kadar iyi konumdayız" diye konuştu.DHA-Ekonomi Türkiye-Zonguldak / Merkez Gürkay GÜNDOĞAN2021-01-11 14:53:20

Virologin Ulrike Protzer kritisiert die 15-Kilometer-Regel für Corona-Hotspots mit Inzidenzen von über 200. Sie schlägt gezielte Zugangsbeschränkungen vor und fürchtet eine andere Gefahr. Alle News im Liveticker.
Virologen sehen die seit Montag geltende 15-Kilometer-Regel in Corona-Hotspots in Bayern zurückhaltend. „Eine 15-Kilometer-Grenze bringt infektiologisch gesehen zunächst keinen Vorteil“, sagt Ulrike Protzer, Direktorin des Instituts für Virologie am Helmholtz Zentrum München und Leiterin des Instituts für Virologie der Technischen Universität München.
„Natürlich erschrecken einen die Bilder von überfüllten Ausflugszielen zunächst“, sagt Protzer. „Aber wenn man die Ansammlung von Menschen vermeiden will, ist es vielleicht doch effizienter, für einzelne Orte gezielt Zugangsbeschränkungen einzuführen, zum Beispiel wenn die Parkplätze sich füllen die Zugangsstraßen zu sperren, als generell den Bewegungsradius einzuschränken.“ Denn dies berge die Gefahr, dass sich in den Ballungsräumen noch mehr Menschen auf engem Raum bewegen müssten, und die innerstädtischen Parks und Grünflächen dann erst recht überfüllt seien. „Und da trifft man dann auch schnell einmal Menschen, die man kennt, und vergisst dabei vielleicht die notwendigen Abstandsregeln.“
Seit Montag dürfen Bewohner von Landkreise und kreisfreien Städte, in denen es mehr als 200 Neuinfizierte pro 100.000 Einwohner binnen einer Woche gibt, Ausflüge nur noch in einem Radius von 15 Kilometern um den Wohnort machen. Die Neuregelung hatte im Landtag für eine Kontroverse gesorgt, die Opposition hatte die Vorgabe kritisiert. SPD-Fraktionschef Horst Arnold etwa nannte die 15-Kilometer-Regel unverhältnismäßig und ungeeignet, um die Pandemie weiter einzudämmen.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President-elect Joe Biden announced Monday he has chosen veteran diplomat William Burns to be his CIA director.
A former ambassador to Russia and Jordan, Burns, 64, had a 33-year career at the State Department under both Republican and Democratic presidents. He rose through the ranks of the diplomatic corps to become deputy secretary of state before retiring in 2014 to run the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.
Amid tumult in the State Department after President Donald Trump took office in 2017, Burns held his tongue until last year when he began writing highly critical pieces of the Trump administration's policies in Foreign Affairs and other publications. Burns has been a staunch advocate of rebuilding and restructuring the foreign service, positions Biden has aligned himself with.
"Bill Burns is an exemplary diplomat with decades of experience on the world stage keeping our people and our country safe and secure," Biden said in a statement Monday. "He shares my profound belief that intelligence must be apolitical and that the dedicated intelligence professionals serving our nation deserve our gratitude and respect. Ambassador Burns will bring the knowledge, judgment, and perspective we need to prevent and confront threats before they can reach our shores. The American people will sleep soundly with him as our next CIA director."
Burns was said to have been a candidate to be Biden's secretary of state. Biden chose Anthony Blinken instead.
If confirmed by the Senate, Burns would succeed Gina Haspel. As the first female CIA director, Haspel guided the agency under Trump, who has frequently disparaged the assessments of U.S. spy agencies, especially about Russia´s interference in the 2016 election to help his campaign.
The president has placed quote marks around the word intelligence in his tweets, implying that he doesn´t agree with the term, and has fired several career intelligence professionals in favor of loyalists, including some with little to no experience in the field.
Burns has received three Presidential Distinguished Service Awards and the highest civilian honors from the Pentagon and the U.S. intelligence community. He has doctoral degrees in international relations from Oxford University, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar.
Burns, a graduate of La Salle University in Philadelphia with advanced degrees from Oxford University, joined the foreign service in 1982 and before being named ambassador to Russia in 2005, served as a top aide to former Secretaries of State William Christopher and Madeleine Albright as well as director of the State Department´s policy planning office.
Burns was a close adviser and confidante to Christopher, Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry before his retirement.
In his 2019 book "The Back Channel: A Memoir of American Diplomacy and the Case for Its Renewal," Burns called for a revamp of American diplomacy, while recalling his days in the field, including helping to spearhead the early stages of the Obama administration´s outreach to Iran in 2013.

Die Besiedlung des Mondes rückt näher. Es werden nicht nur bereits Häuser für Monddörfer entworfen. Ein Unternehmen arbeitet nun auch daran, das existentiellste Problem des Menschen auf dem benachbarten Himmelskörper zu lösen.

Die Besiedlung des Mondes rückt näher. Es werden nicht nur bereits Häuser für Monddörfer entworfen. Ein Unternehmen arbeitet nun auch daran, das existentiellste Problem des Menschen auf dem benachbarten Himmelskörper zu lösen.
Die Frau und der Mann im Mond waren lange bestenfalls Thema für Literatur, Kino und Musik. Doch wenn es nach den US-Milliardären Elon Musk und Jeff Bezos geht, unterstützt durch zahlreiche Raumfahrtagenturen, könnten in wenigen Jahren nicht nur regelmäßig Flüge zu dem Himmelskörper stattfinden, sondern auch Menschen sich dort für längere Zeit aufhalten.
Eine Reihe von praktischen Problemen ist noch zu lösen. Eines davon ist die Atemluft, die auf der Mondoberfläche fehlt. Der Transport von Sauerstoff ist aufwendig und teuer. Doch das britische Unternehmen Metalysis aus Rotherham im Norden Englands arbeitet an einer Lösung, die Sauerstoff aus Mondgestein gewinnen soll. Als Bonus gibt es bei der Methode Metalle, die als Baumaterial genutzt werden könnten.
„Wir nutzen dabei einen technischen Prozess, der auf der Erde gut eingeführt ist“, sagte Ian Mellor, Geschäftsführer von Metalysis, WELT. Dabei geht es um die FFC-Methode, ein Elektrolyseverfahren, das Metalloxide in reines Metall und Sauerstoff aufbricht. 1996 an der Universität Cambridge entwickelt, ist der Prozess nach den drei Wissenschaftlern Derek Fray, Tom Farthing und George Chen benannt, die ihn entwickelt haben. Die Möglichkeit, gleichzeitig Sauerstoff und Metalle zu gewinnen, sei eine Besonderheit des FFC-Prozesses, so Mellor.
Im Auftrag der Europäischen Raumfahrtbehörde (Esa) überarbeiten die Metalysis-Ingenieure das Konzept für die Bedingungen auf dem Mond. Gefeilt wird aktuell an mehreren Aspekten. „Die Reaktoren, mit denen wir hier arbeiten, sind zu groß und schwer“, erläuterte Mellor. Schließlich muss die komplette Anlage zunächst ins All gebracht werden.
Es geht um mehr als die Atemluft für Astronauten
Vor allem ist aber der gewonnene Sauerstoff bisher lediglich ein Nebenprodukt, das nicht genutzt wird. Jetzt wird daran gearbeitet, möglichst viel des Gases aufzufangen. „Alles, was von der Erde zum Mond transportiert werden muss, bedeutet Gewicht. Wenn das Material an Ort und Stelle gewonnen werden kann, spart das eine Menge Zeit, Anstrengung und Geld“, sagte Mellor.
Es geht um deutlich mehr als die Atemluft für Astronauten, für die der gewonnene Sauerstoff mit weiteren Gasen gemischt werden muss. „Die Fähigkeit, Sauerstoff aus Ressourcen auf dem Mond zu gewinnen, wäre ungeheuer nützlich für künftige Mondsiedler, sowohl zum Atmen als auch als Grundstoff für Raketenantrieb“, wies Beth Lomax, Wissenschaftlerin im Esa-Forschungszentrum in Noordwijk in den Niederlanden, auf einen zusätzlichen Nutzen des Gases hin.
Auf dem Mond ist in den kommenden Jahren eine Menge geplant. Eine Reihe von Raumfahrtbehörden bereitet Mondmissionen vor, die Esa zum Beispiel in Kooperation mit ihren Pendants in Japan und Kanada. Einer der Pläne, gemeinsam mit der US-Behörde Nasa, umfasst die Einrichtung einer dauerhaften Basis auf dem Himmelskörper, eine Art Dorf auf dem Mond.
Eines Tages soll es von Staaten und Unternehmen für Forschungszwecke genutzt werden. Dort sind Untersuchungen zu Lebensmöglichkeiten, zur Energiegewinnung, zur Nahrungsversorgung und Ähnlichem geplant. Zusätzlich soll diese Basis auch zu einem Startpunkt für die weitere Erkundung des Weltraumes, etwa zum Mars, werden.
„Wir sind nur ein Teil des Puzzles“
Der Vertrag von Metalysis mit der Esa läuft für neun Monate. In dieser Zeit versuchen die Ingenieure die Ausbeute und die Reinheit des Sauerstoffs und der Metalle zu optimieren. Hat das Erfolg, würde die Methode im nächsten Schritt direkt auf dem Mond getestet. „Ganz so weit sind wir aber noch nicht“, wehrte Mellor ab. Das Programm laufe seit einigen Wochen, für konkrete Ergebnisse sei es noch zu früh.
Auch an der Energieeffizienz des Prozesses werde noch gefeilt. „Wir sind nur ein Teil des Puzzles“, sagte Mellor bescheiden. Für die Umsetzung der Anlagen, in denen der Prozess eines Tages auf dem Mond durchgeführt werden kann, ist mit Added Value Solutions ein spezialisierter Unterauftragnehmer zuständig.
Die Zusammensetzung des Mondgesteins ist umfänglich untersucht, seit Neil Armstrong und Buzz Aldrin 1969 von der Apollo-11-Mission 20 Kilogramm Proben mitgebracht haben. Insgesamt rund 400 Kilo sind heute in wissenschaftlichen Laboren auf der Erde verfügbar, eingesammelt von weiteren Apollo- und sowjetischen Luna-Missionen.
Gerade hat die chinesische Sonde „Chang’e 5“ Oberflächenmaterial auf dem Mond eingesammelt, zum ersten Mal seit 44 Jahren, das sie nun zur Erde zurückbringt. Es stammt aus einer anderen Region des Himmelskörpers als die früheren Proben und verspricht neue Erkenntnisse über die Geologie.
Der Zugang zu den Proben ist strikt geregelt, nur winzige Mengen werden auf Antrag für Wissenschaftler freigegeben. Metalysis arbeitet daher bei seinen Versuchen mit einer synthetischen Nachbildung des Mondregoliths, wie das Gestein in der Fachsprache heißt.
Ein Kilo Sauerstoff am Tag
Das von Wissenschaftlern untersuchte, auf der Erde vorhandene Mondgestein besteht zu rund 45 Prozent seines Gewichtes aus Sauerstoff. Andere Sauerstoffquellen sind auf dem Himmelskörper, der anders als die Erde nicht über eine Atmosphäre verfügt, nicht bekannt.
Im Durchschnitt atmen Astronauten rund ein Kilogramm Sauerstoff am Tag, der Bedarf an Mondgestein sei überschaubar, mit sichtbaren Spuren der Nutzung auch auf längere Sicht nicht zu rechnen, sagte Mellor, dessen Unternehmen sich mit dem Esa-Projekt zum ersten Mal in den Weltraum wagt.
Bisher wird die Elektrolysemethode, die dank niedriger Temperaturen und eines geringeren Energiebedarfs günstiger ist als traditionelle Schmelztechniken, hauptsächlich zur Gewinnung von Metallen eingesetzt. Tantal, Titan und Scandium seien typische Beispiele, sagte Mellor. Die Methode funktioniere aber bei rund 50 Elementen des Periodensystems. Auch auf metallische Legierungen ist das Unternehmen spezialisiert.
Auf dem Mond gehören nach heutigen Erkenntnissen Eisen, Aluminium und Silikon zu den wichtigsten metallischen Bestandteilen des Gesteins. Die Zusammensetzung in der Region, in der die „Chang’e 5“-Sonde Anfang Dezember gelandet ist, sieht nach ersten Erkenntnissen etwas anders aus. Es scheint auch größere Anteile an seltenen Erden, Kalium und Phosphor zu enthalten.
Einige der Rohstoffe könnten vor Ort für künftige Baumaßnahmen genutzt werden. Olympus, ein Projekt des dänischen Architektur- und Designbüros Big und des 3-D-Druck-Spezialisten Icon, arbeitet daran, die Drucktechnik für den Hausbau auf dem Mond zu nutzen.
Nicht der einzige konkrete Vorstoß für Wohnraum auf dem Himmelskörper: Die Esa hat in den vergangenen Monaten einen Entwurf des Londoner Architekturbüros Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) einer ausführlichen Prüfung unterzogen. Der Ansatz verzichtet auf lokales Material, schickt vielmehr ein vierstöckiges Gebilde ins All, das sich vor Ort zur richtigen Form aufpumpen lässt.
Den Projektleitern bei SOM wurde dabei allerdings auch deutlich, dass ein dauerhafter Umzug zum Mond noch nicht so bald möglich wird. Ihr Gebäude sollte ursprünglich 500 Tage von einer vierköpfigen Gruppe genutzt werden. „Das mussten wir anpassen“, sagte Studienleiter Daniel Inocente. Jetzt planen die Architekten mit 300 Tagen. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt ist die ionisierende Strahlung von der Sonne und aus den Tiefen des Weltraumes, vor der die Erde dank ihres Magnetfeldes geschützt ist, zu stark.

Wegen der rasant steigenden Zahl an Neuinfektionen tritt in England ein neuer Lockdown in Kraft. Zunächst sollen die Beschränkungen für sechs Wochen gelten. Laut dem britischen Staatssekretär Grove könnten die Maßnahmen aber weitaus länger in Kraft bleiben.
Der erneute harte Lockdown in England wegen der rasant steigenden Corona-Neuinfektionen könnte möglicherweise noch bis März andauern. Vor dem Land lägen "sehr, sehr schwierige Wochen", sagte der britische Staatssekretär für Kabinettsangelegenheiten, Michael Gove, dem Sender Sky News. Es sei nicht "mit Sicherheit" vorherzusagen, ob die Einschränkungen, die bisher für sechs Wochen angeordnet sind, dann auch aufgehoben werden könnten. Mitte Februar sollen die Maßnahmen überprüft werden.
Wegen der Ausbreitung der neuen Virus-Mutante hatte die Regierung in London am Montag einen harten Lockdown für ganz England bis voraussichtlich Mitte Februar angekündigt. Die Schulen werden geschlossen und es gilt eine Ausgangssperre. Die rund 56 Millionen Engländer dürfen ihr Zuhause nur noch in begründeten Fällen verlassen, etwa um zu arbeiten, einzukaufen oder für Arztbesuche. Arbeitnehmer sollen möglichst im Homeoffice arbeiten.
Premierminister Boris Johnson verwies zur Begründung der verschärften Maßnahmen auf die weiterhin hohen Infektionszahlen. Mittlerweile hätten sich allein in England mehr als eine Million Menschen mit dem Coronavirus infiziert - das sind zwei Prozent der Bevölkerung. Laut Gove sollen die Maßnahmen ab dem 15. Februar überprüft werden. Im März sollte es dann möglich sein, einige der Beschränkungen aufzuheben - "aber nicht zwangsläufig alle", fügte Gove hinzu.
Die Maßnahmen werden seit Dienstagmorgen umgesetzt, am heutigen Mittwoch treten sie gesetzlich in Kraft. Auch Schottland, Wales und Nordirland haben strikte Lockdowns mit Schulschließungen vorgesehen. Zusätzlich könnte es auch noch weitere Beschränkungen für Auslandsreisen geben, wie Gove ankündigte.
In Großbritannien grassiert derzeit eine Mutation des Coronavirus, die deutlich ansteckender ist als das Virus in seiner bisherigen Form. Dadurch droht den Krankenhäusern eine starke Überlastung, obwohl im Vereinigten Königreich seit Dezember bereits mehr als 1,3 Millionen Menschen gegen das Coronavirus geimpft wurden. Unter den Geimpften sind nach Angaben von Johnson 650.000 Menschen über 80 Jahre.
Bis Mitte Februar sollen die meisten besonders gefährdeten Briten geimpft sein, wie Johnson am Dienstag sagte. Bis Ende der Woche sollten dafür fast tausend Impfzentren bereitstehen. Englands oberster Amtsarzt Chris Whitty ergänzte, der Impf-Zeitplan der Regierung sei "realistisch, aber nicht einfach".
Mit fast 2,8 Millionen Infektionsfällen und mehr als 76.000 Corona-Todesopfern zählt Großbritannien zu den am schwersten von der Pandemie betroffenen Ländern weltweit. Täglich infizieren sich derzeit mehr als 50.000 Briten mit dem Coronavirus. Am Dienstag meldeten die Behörden 60.916 Neuinfektionen und 830 Todesopfer binnen 24 Stunden.

Strafzahlungen und Preisverfall machen Gazprom zu schaffen und auch die Rückschläge bei Nord-Stream 2 nehmen kein Ende. Doch das alles ist nichts gegen das, was sich gerade im Osten an der Grenze zu China abspielt. Präsident Putin ist alarmiert.
Dass ausgerechnet ein Schiff, das Pipeline-Rohre verlegt, zum Symbol für das Risiko und die Unbeständigkeit unternehmerischen Erfolgs werden könnte, hat beim russischen Gasriesen Gazprom noch vor wenigen Jahren niemand geahnt. „Fortuna“ nämlich – schon bei den alten Römern der Begriff für das wechselhafte Schicksal – heißt der russische Lastkahn, der die umstrittene Ostsee-Gaspipeline Nord Stream 2 fertigstellen soll.
Nach wie vor ist offen, ob er am Ende die noch fehlenden gut 100 Pipeline-Kilometer auch bauen kann. Am 28. Dezember hat das Schiff immerhin den 2,6 Kilometer langen Abschnitt in deutschen Gewässern abgeschlossen. Mitte Januar will man in den dänischen Gewässern weitermachen.
Aber die USA, die die Arbeiten schon das ganze vergangene Jahr über mit angedrohten Sanktionen behindert hatten, haben weitere Sanktionen vorbereitet, damit die europäischen Verbündeten von Gazprom das Projekt stoppen. Europa würde sich zu sehr von russischem Gas abhängig machen, sagt man in Washington. Außerdem wollen die USA ihr eigenes Gas in Europa absetzen.
In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, wo die Röhre aufs Land treffen soll, will die Landesregierung den Stillstand nicht mehr länger hinnehmen. Mit einem Stiftungstrick will sie die Sanktionsdrohungen der USA unterlaufen. Gelingt das Vorhaben, könnte die neue Röhre noch in diesem Jahr mehr Erdgas direkt aus Russland an die deutsche Ostseeküste bringen. Aber was, wenn es nicht gelingt?
Das dunkelste Jahr der Unternehmensgeschichte
In diesem Fall ist nicht auszuschließen, dass Gazprom seinen Hälfteanteil von etwa fünf Milliarden Euro an den Gesamtkosten des fast fertigen Projektes in den Sand gesetzt hat – ebenso wie die fünf europäischen Co-Investoren den ihren. Für Gazprom würde 2020 damit endgültig zu einem der dunkelsten Jahre in der Unternehmensgeschichte werden.
Zwar braucht man die neue Pipeline nicht zwingend, um die Nachfrage in Gazproms Hauptmarkt Europa, wo der angeschlagene Riese gleichwohl größter Lieferant ist, zu bedienen. Aber zum Imageschaden und zum versenkten Geld käme eine negative Langzeitwirkung dazu, wie Konstantin Simonow, Generaldirektor der Moskauer Forschungsstiftung für Nationale Energiesicherheit, gegenüber WELT erklärt:
Das Gas aus den neuen Förderstätten auf der Halbinsel Jamal im Arktischen Ozean hätte eben einen um 2000 Kilometer längeren Weg und würde entsprechend teurer, wenn es nicht durch die Ostsee, sondern durch die südlichere Ukraine in den Westen flösse. „Einmal abgesehen von Milliarden an Transitgebühren.“
Nord Stream 2 ist 2020 endgültig zum Inbegriff des komplexen und verkorksten Verhältnisses zwischen dem weltweit führenden Gaskonzern und seinem zahlungskräftigsten Kunden Europa mit den dahinter mitmischenden USA geworden. Aber auch unabhängig von der Pipeline hat Russlands größter Steuerzahler 2020 mit seinem Export in den Westen Rückschläge erlitten wie niemals zuvor.
Einbruch der Nachfrage und des Preises macht zu schaffen
Dabei ist noch der geringere von allen, dass der halbstaatliche Koloss, der als außenpolitisches Druckmittel des Kremls gilt, nach dem Entscheid eines internationalen Schiedsgerichtes 1,5 Milliarden Dollar (1,2 Milliarden Euro) an den polnischen Abnehmer PGNiG wegen überhöhter Preise zurückzahlen musste. Weitaus mehr zu schaffen machte der Einbruch der Nachfrage und des Exportpreises.
Das Problem begann wohlgemerkt nicht erst mit der Corona-Pandemie. Schon zuvor war die Nachfrage niedrig geblieben, weil die europäischen Kunden im zweiten Halbjahr 2019 aus Angst vor einem neuen Transitstreit mit der Ukraine die unterirdischen Speicher randvoll aufgefüllt hatten und der Winter recht mild ausgefallen war.
Richtig dramatisch wurde es Corona-bedingt im zweiten Quartal 2020. Der durchschnittliche Exportpreis, der 2019 noch 210 Dollar je 1000 Kubikmeter betragen hatte und im Januar 2020 schon auf 162 Dollar abgesackt war, brach im Mai auf 94 Dollar ein. Das liegt unter der Rentabilitätsschwelle, die bei etwa 100 Dollar angesetzt wird.
Beim Gasvolumen zeigt sich ein ähnliches Problem: Im ersten Halbjahr ging Gazproms Export gegenüber dem Vorjahreszeitraum um 18 Prozent zurück. Der Marktanteil in Europa sank von 36 Prozent Ende 2019 auf nur noch knapp 28 Prozent.
Ein gewaltiger Schuldenberg
Das Desaster, zusätzlich verschärft durch den infolge des Ölpreisverfalls gesunkenen Rubelkurs, setzte sich im dritten Quartal fort. Am Ende blieb Gazprom in den ersten neun Monaten des letzten Jahres auf einem Verlust von 218,4 Milliarden Rubel (2,4 Milliarden Euro) sitzen, während im selben Zeitraum 2019 noch ein Gewinn von 1,05 Billionen Rubel zu Buche gestanden hatte. Entsprechend schnellten, ähnlich wie bei anderen russischen Rohstofffirmen, die Schulden nach oben: Ende September lagen sie mit 4,46 Billionen Rubel 41 Prozent höher als im Vorjahr.
Gazprom hat schon viele Krisen überstanden. „Es wäre also wieder einmal verfrüht, den Konzern abzuschreiben“, sagt Michail Krutichin, Partner der Moskauer Beratungsfirma RusEnergy und Kenner des russischen Gassektors, im Gespräch mit WELT. Die Situation in Europa habe sich für Gazprom im vierten Quartal nämlich gedreht.
Nicht nur, dass der Gaspreis wieder auf über 200 Dollar gestiegen sei. Das zuvor extrem billige Flüssiggas aus anderen Erdteilen sei durch die wirtschaftliche Erholung in Asien ebendort so sehr nachgefragt worden, dass nun alle Anbieter ihre Tanker nach Asien schicken. „Das schafft wieder mehr Raum für russisches Gas in Europa“, so Krutichin.
Die Einbußen aus den ersten drei Quartalen können dennoch nicht wettgemacht werden. Inzwischen wurde bekannt, dass Gazprom im Gesamtjahr 2020 179,3 Milliarden Kubikmeter nach Europa exportiert hat – ein Rückgang von zehn Prozent gegenüber 2019. Wesentlich mitschuldig daran ist auch die Türkei, die – traditionell Gazproms zweitwichtigster Kunde hinter Deutschland – auf andere Lieferanten umschwenkt.
Riesige Gasvorkommen fehlerhaft erschlossen
So problematisch und umkämpft der europäische Markt für Gazprom seit der unrechtmäßigen Besetzung der ukrainischen Halbinsel Krim durch Russland 2014 und daraufhin verhängten Sanktionen auch geworden ist, das wesentlich größere Problem könnte Gazprom schon bald mit seinem neuen Großabnehmer China bekommen.
Zwar hat Russland den Europäern über Jahre damit gedroht, seine Gasströme problemlos nach China umlenken zu können. Und der 2014 unterzeichnete, 400 Milliarden Dollar schwere Vertrag über die Lieferung von jährlich 38 Milliarden Kubikmeter Gas über 30 Jahre ins Reich der Mitte deutet zumindest an, dass das keine leere Drohung war.
Doch ob die Russen den Vertrag auch erfüllen können, ist nicht sicher. Das Problem: Die Großlagerstätte Tschajanda im ostsibirischen Gebiet Jakutien, aus der die vor einem Jahr fertiggestellte Pipeline „Kraft Sibiriens“ nach China gefüllt werden sollte, wurde technisch fehlerhaft erschlossen und erbringt daher weit weniger Gas als vom Konzern ursprünglich angenommen.
Ähnliche Probleme bestehen auch bei der Lagerstätte Kowykta nahe dem Baikalsee, die die 55 Milliarden Dollar teure Pipeline ab 2025 auf Vollleistung füllen helfen sollte, sobald der Strang zu ihr fertiggestellt ist. Das jedenfalls ergaben die Recherchen von Krutichin und dem Onlinemedium „lenta.ru“ im Frühjahr 2020, die allein im Fall Tschajanda von möglichen Verlusten im zweistelligen Dollar-Milliarden-Bereich sprachen. In Russland greift das Thema niemand auf, weil es mit einem ungeschriebenen Thematisierungsverbot belegt sei, erklärt Krutichin.
Wahres Ausmaß des Skandals ist unklar
Wurde hier in der von oben verordneten Eile zwecks Eroberung des chinesischen Marktes folgenschwer geschlampt? Stellungnahmen dazu waren weder bei Gazprom noch von der russischen Regierung zu bekommen. So bleibt das wahre Ausmaß des konzerninternen Skandals umstritten. Faktum sei, dass Gazprom zu wenig Erfahrung mit ostsibirischen Lagerstätten habe, die im Unterschied zu den westsibirischen, reinen Gaslagerstätten auch sehr viel Öl enthalten, wie Gasexperte Simonow erläutert.
Faktum ist auch, dass Gazprom inzwischen auf Anordnung von Kremlchef Wladimir Putin die Machbarkeit einer zweiten Pipeline namens „Kraft Sibiriens 2“ prüft, die im nordwestsibirischen Urengoi – der traditionellen Quelle für Gaslieferungen nach Europa – beginnt und entgegen einem früheren Plan nicht nach Westchina, sondern nach Ostchina führen soll; da führt bereits die jetzige „Kraft Sibiriens“ hin.
Und Faktum ist ebenfalls, dass die Machbarkeitsstudie laut Konzernchef Alexej Miller auch eine mögliche Anbindung der neuen Pipeline an die Lagerstätten auf der arktischen Halbinsel Jamal umfasst, die im vergangenen Jahrzehnt zur Belieferung Europas entwickelt worden sind. Noch im ersten Quartal 2021 sollen die Ergebnisse der gesamten Prüfung vorliegen, so Miller, der klarerweise auch auf zusätzliche Exportvolumina für China abzielt.
Sollte es zur Umsetzung kommen, weil andernfalls seitens China empfindliche Strafen für die Nichterfüllung der bisherigen Lieferverträge drohen, so sind sich Experten zumindest in einem Punkt einig: Nord Stream 2 war allein von den Kosten her nur ein Testlauf für die Pipeline aus den arktischen Gebieten nach China.

Wirksamen Schutz vor Corona gibt es wohl nur mit zwei Impfungen. Um jedoch schneller mehr Dosen für eine erste Impfung verfügbar zu haben, erwägen einige Länder, den Abstand zwischen beiden Verabreichungen zu vergrößern. Hersteller Biontech warnt, die WHO aber sieht das anders.
Impfexperten der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) halten eine Vergrößerung des zeitlichen Abstands zwischen den für eine Immunisierung gegen das Coronavirus notwendigen zwei Dosen des Biontech-Pfizer-Vakzins unter bestimmten Bedingungen für vertretbar. In Ausnahmefällen sei eine zeitliche Streckung der Impfstoffgabe um einige Wochen möglich, sagte der Vorsitzende der WHO-Expertengruppe für Immunisierungen (SAGE), Alejandro Cravitio vor Journalisten. Stunden zuvor hatte Biontech vor einem solchen Vorgehen gewarnt.
SAGE empfehle, die zweite Dosis des Biontech-Pfizer-Impfstoffs 21 bis 28 Tage nach der ersten Dosis zu verabreichen, betonte Cravitio. In außergewöhnlichen epidemiologischen Kontexten und bei Versorgungsengpässen sei jedoch eine zeitliche Streckung bis zur zweiten Impfstoffgabe möglich, um so die Zahl der Empfänger einer ersten Impfstoff-Dosis zu "maximieren".
Der Mainzer Impfstoffentwickler Biontech hatte zuvor davon abgeraten, die beiden Dosen seines Corona-Impfstoffs in größerem zeitlichen Abstand zu verabreichen als vorgesehen. Es lägen keine Daten vor, die eine Sicherheit und Wirksamkeit für den Fall belegten, dass die beiden Dosen im Abstand von mehr als drei Wochen gespritzt werden, erklärte das Unternehmen.
Keine Empfehlung zur Impfung von Schwangeren
Zwar belegten Daten, dass Empfänger schon zwölf Tage nach der ersten Spritze gegen das Coronavirus teilweise geschützt seien. Es gebe jedoch keine Belege dafür, dass der Schutz durch die erste Dosis mehr als 21 Tage lang andauere. In der klinischen Studie hätten nahezu alle Probanden die beiden Dosen in diesem Abstand erhalten.
Auch Cravitio räumte den Mangel an "Daten zur Sicherheit und Wirksamkeit" der ersten Dosis des Corona-Vakzins von Biontech und Pfizer über einen Zeitraum von mehr als drei Wochen ein. Sein Expertengremium gab zudem eine Reihe weiterer Empfehlungen für den Umgang mit dem Biontech-Pfizer-Impfstoff aus. Demnach sollte dieser nur an Orten verabreicht werden, an denen Patienten mit einer möglichen anaphylaktischen Reaktion versorgt werden können. Eine Empfehlung zur möglichen Impfstoffgabe an Schwangere sowie an stillende Frauen sei erst möglich, wenn weitere klinische Daten vorlägen.
Angesichts der begrenzten Mengen an verfügbarem Impfstoff hatte Dänemark am Montag angekündigt, die Impfdosen des Biontech-Vakzins mit bis zu sechs Wochen Abstand zu verabreichen. So sollen mehr Menschen in einem kürzeren Zeitraum zumindest eine erste Impfung erhalten. Großbritannien hatte angekündigt, sogar bis zu zwölf Wochen zwischen den beiden Impfungen verstreichen lassen zu wollen. Auch in Deutschland wird geprüft, die zweite Corona-Impfung zu verschieben, um das Präparat zeitnah mehr Menschen verabreichen zu können.

MOSCOW (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday hosted his counterparts from Armenia and Azerbaijan, their first meeting since a Russia-brokered truce ended six weeks of fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh.
As he sat down for talks in the Kremlin with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Putin said that the peace agreement has been successfully implemented, laying the foundation for a fair settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
He noted that senior officials from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia will now discuss further moves to restore traffic links in the region after the decades-long conflict.
The Nov. 10 peace deal ended 44 days of hostilities in which the Azerbaijani army routed Armenian forces and reclaimed control over large parts of Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas.
Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but was under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by Armenia since a separatist war there ended in 1994. That war left Nagorno-Karabakh itself and substantial surrounding territory in Armenian hands.
Hostilities flared up in late September and the Azerbaijani military pushed deep into Nagorno-Karabakh and surrounding areas in six weeks of fighting involving heavy artillery and drones that left more than 6,000 people dead on both sides.
Under the peace deal, Russia has deployed about 2,000 peacekeepers to Nagorno-Karabakh for five years.
The peace deal was celebrated in Azerbaijan as a major triumph, but sparked outrage and mass protests in Armenia, where thousands repeatedly took to the streets demanding Pashinyan's resignation. The Armenian prime minister has defended the deal as a painful but necessary move that prevented Azerbaijan from overrunning the entire Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Zonguldak Valisi Mustafa Tutulmaz, 2020 yılı değerlendirme toplantısında kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarının faaliyetleri hakkında açıklamalarda bulundu. Zonguldak Polis evinde 2020 yılı değerlendirme toplantısı gerçekleştirildi. Vali Mustafa Tutulmaz öncülüğünde gerçekleştirilen toplantıya Belediye Başkanı Selim Alan ile Vali Yardımcıları, kamu kurum ve kuruluşlarının idari amirleri ile gazeteciler katıldı. Zonguldak Valisi Mustafa Tutulmaz, 10 Ocak Çalışan Gazeteciler Günü ve 10 Ocak İdareciler Günü'nü kutladı. Tutulmaz, "10 Ocak Çalışan Gazeteciler Günü dolayısıyla sizlerle birlikte olmanın mutluluğunu ifade etmek isterim. 10 Ocak hem gazetecilerin hem de biz idarecilerin günü. Hem sizlerin hem de idareciler gününü kutluyorum. Gazetecilik önemli bir görev. Her geçen gün de değerini artırıyor. Çünkü insanların bilme, duyma, değerlendirme ihtiyacı geçmişle kıyaslanamayacak şekilde artmakta. Ancak bu içinde bulunduğumuz yıl maalesef gazetecilerimizin de idarecilerimizin çalışmalarını, dünyayı olumsuz etkiledi. Salgınla baş başayız. Dünya olarak hem ülkemiz olarak Zonguldak da bundan payını fazlasıyla aldı. Hatta Ve Zonguldak diye de bir kavram oluştu. İki üç gün önceki Amerika'daki sokağa çıkma kısıtlamasında 'Amerika'nın şu vilayetleri ve Zonguldak'ta sokağa çıkma kısıtlaması ilan edildi' şeklinde espri konusu da oldu. Ve Zonguldak diye de bir marka değerine de sahip oldu. Sağlık her şeyin başı. Bu bizi dünyayı, herkesi ilgilendiriyor. İnşallah geçen yılki sıkıntıları bu yıl yaşamayız diyorum. Şu anda dünyada ve ülkemizde aşılamalar son aşamaya geldi. Ülkemizde de kısa süre içerisinde de başlayacağını ümit ediyoruz. Bu dönem her şeyi değiştirdi. Toplantıların şeklini değiştirdi. İnsanlarla bir araya gelmemiz, kamu kurum ve kuruluşlardaki arkadaşlarla toplantı yapma şeklimiz değişti. Biz basının bize çok yönüyle destek olduğunu da görüyoruz. Özellikle kamunun çalışmasında çoğu zaman gözümüz kulağımız oluyor. Kamunun birinci hedefi bulunduğu yerdeki vatandaşlara doğru, sağlıklı hizmet sunmasıdır. Sağlıklı hizmeti sunabilmesinin, mevzuat çerçevesinde o görevi yapan kamu görevlilerinin hem kişisel olarak hem de işin gereği olarak doğru bir şekilde hareket etmeleriyle mümkün olacaktır. Yanlış giden husus olduğunda bunun basın vasıtasıyla dile getirilmesinde de biz en azından konuya vakıf oluyoruz. Ancak bu haberlerin kişiselleştirilmemesi ve kurumlara zarar verecek şekilde yapılmaması gerekir" şeklinde konuştu. Covid19 ile mücadele 21 Mart 2020 tarihinde ise Zonguldak'ta ilk COVID19 vakası tespit edildiğine dikkat çeken Vali Tutulmaz, "Başlangıçta olumsuzlukla başlandı. Alınan tedbirlerle sıfır dönemleri gördük. Zaman zaman 35, onlu sayıların altında gördük. Kurban Bayramıyla beraber yeniden yükseliş başladı. Gerçekten Kasım ayı içerisinde epey bir yüksek rakama ulaştı" dedi. Öte yandan İl genelinde; Haftanın 7 günü hizmet veren, 173 filyasyon ekibinin bulunduğu bu ekiplerin 2 veya 3 kişilik ekiplerden oluştuğu belirtildi. TÜİK ile işbirliği içerisinde Zonguldak'a atanan adreslerde PCR ve ELİSA taramaları 2 tur olarak yaklaşık 800 hanede gerçekleştirildi. 410 hanede daha yapılması planlandı. Atatürk Devlet ve BEÜ Hastanesinde 2 laboratuvarda COVID19 PCR analizleri yapılmaya devam ediyor. 23 Aralık itibariyle Ereğli Hastanesinde de analizlere başlanırken il genelinde yaklaşık 149 bin 580 test yapıldı. Sadece devlet yetkililerinin aldığı tedbirlerle değil vatandaşın da kendi tedbiri alması gerektiğinin altını çizen Vali Tutulmaz, "Son aldığımız kararlarla beraber yeniden düşüş eylemine geçti. Şu anda iyi bir konuma geçiyoruz. Ancak bu bizim tedbirleri ihmal etmememiz gerektiğini tekrar bize hatırlatıyor. Canlarımızın gitmemesi açısından yeniden bu sıkıntılarla karşılaşmamamız açısından bu tedbirlere biraz daha devam edilmesinde vatandaşımızın biraz daha uyma gayreti içerisinde olmasında fayda var. Kısa süre içerisinde inşallah bunu çözümünü daha kalıcı hale getiririz diye düşünüyorum. Tedbiri elden bırakmamamız lazım. Hala sıkıntılar var. Ancak bir ay önceye göre iyi durumdayız" dedi. Turizm ve tanıtım Vali Mustafa Tutulmaz, turizm ve tanıtım çalışmaları kapsamında da turizm çalışma grubu oluşturulduğunu ifade etti. Zonguldak tanıtım stratejisi kapsamında Visit Zonguldak, projeler, coğrafi işaret, turizm çalışma grubu ve tanıtım ofisiyle de turizm ve tanıtıma yönelik çalışmaların süreceğini belirten Tutulmaz, tamamlanan projeler hakkında bilgiler aktardı. Filyos Vadi Projesi, Filyos Liman inşaatı, havalimanı iyileştirme çalışması, karayolları çalışmaları hakkında da bilgiler aktaran Tutulmaz, 19 km uzunluğundaki KilimliFilyos arasının projesinin onaylandığını, 8 km’lik kısım için kamulaştırma çalışmalarının devam ettiğini belirtti. Tutulmaz, proje kapsamında toplam uzunluğu 23.880 m olan 9 adet çift tüp tünel, 6 adet farklı seviyeli kavşak ve 1 adet hemzemin kavşak bulunduğunu tahmini Proje bedelinin 2,5 milyar lira olduğunu aktardı.

Liz Weston: 4 financial `experts´ who could steer you wrong

Daily Mail

None of us knows everything we need to know about money, so we may turn to experts for help. But some money professionals who offer advice are not qualified to do so - nor are they required to put our interests ahead of theirs.
Be cautious when accepting advice from the following sources.
THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT HOW LONG YOUR AUTO LOAN SHOULD BE
The dealership wants to sell you a car. To make the payments more affordable, you may be offered a loan that lasts six, seven or even eight years.
Longer loans can get you smaller monthly payments, but they cost more overall, since you´ll pay more interest. You´ll also likely spend several years "upside down," or owing more than your vehicle is worth. As the car ages, you could easily face big repair bills while still making payments. If you needed to sell the car, you would have to come up with money to pay off the loan. Alternatively, you could roll the negative equity into your next car purchase, but that would make your next loan even more expensive.
A BETTER APPROACH: Limit your auto loans to a maximum of five years for new cars or three years for used cars. A 20% down payment can help you avoid negative equity, as well. Consider getting pre-approved for a loan from your local credit union or bank or an online lender. That can help you withstand the dealership trying to pressure you into expensive financing.
MORTGAGE PROS ABOUT HOW MUCH HOUSE YOU CAN AFFORD
Good mortgage brokers or loan officers can be invaluable in helping you navigate a complicated process and understand the guidelines that lenders use to determine how big of a loan you can qualify for. But they can´t tell you how big of a loan you can comfortably afford. Neither can your real estate agent, for that matter.
True affordability will depend on a lot of factors that aren´t captured in your application, including when you want to retire and how much you want to save for other goals such as a child´s education.
There´s also your comfort level. Some people are fine borrowing the maximum, because they believe their finances will only get better. Others prefer to borrow more conservatively.
A BETTER APPROACH: Use online calculators to estimate how much to save for retirement and other goals. Then include those figures in your monthly expenses when using a mortgage affordability calculator. Or consult a fiduciary adviser, such as a certified financial planner, accredited financial counselor or accredited financial coach. "Fiduciary" means obligated to put your best interests first. Most financial advisers aren´t fiduciaries, so make sure to ask.
STOCKBROKERS ABOUT WHETHER TO ROLL OVER YOUR 401(K)
A stockbroker may tell you that rolling your old 401(k) account into an individual retirement account gives you many more investment options, and that´s typically true. But IRAs can cost you more, and 401(k)s have better consumer protections.
Stockbrokers want to sell you investments that earn them commissions. Typically, they have no responsibility to make sure those investments are in your best interest. By contrast, a 401(k) administrator is a fiduciary, so it´s required to put your interests first and provide good investment options at a reasonable cost. Many 401(k)s offer access to ultra-low-cost institutional funds that aren´t available in an IRA.
In addition, your entire 401(k) balance is protected from creditors. By contrast, your protections with an IRA depend on state law. Many states exempt only an amount "reasonably necessary for support" - which means in some cases, creditors potentially could get it all.
A BETTER APPROACH: Leave the money where it is if you like the old 401(k)´s investment options, or roll it into a new employer´s plan if that´s allowed. Otherwise, roll the money into an IRA at a discount brokerage. If you need help with how to invest it, consult a fiduciary adviser.
SOCIAL SECURITY ABOUT WHEN TO CLAIM BENEFITS
You can collect Social Security as early as age 62, but your monthly benefit increases the longer you delay applying until it maxes out at age 70. Multiple studies have shown that most people will collect more over their lifetimes if they delay filing. It´s particularly important for the higher earner in a married couple to delay, because that benefit determines what the survivor will get once the first spouse dies.
Unfortunately, Social Security Administration employees sometimes advise people to start early - even though Social Security employees aren´t supposed to give advice.
Applicants have been told, for example, that it doesn´t matter when they start benefits because the amounts paid out over their lifetimes will be the same. That´s a misinterpretation of Social Security´s attempt to be "actuarially neutral," or have the system pay out the same amount in total regardless of when people claim benefits.
A BETTER APPROACH: A Social Security claiming calculator can help you figure out when to start benefits. AARP has a free one, while more sophisticated versions are available starting at $20 at Social Security Solutions or $40 at Maximize My Social Security.

Cuomo slams critics after blaming hospitals, other officials for vaccine rollout failures

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is pushing back against criticism after he blamed other officials and hospitals for the state's slow rollout of coronavirus vaccines.
Cuomo threatened hospitals that do not distribute their vaccines quickly enough by warning that they could be fined or kept from receiving additional shipments.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio accused him of "arrogance," and questioning health care workers' desire to provide vaccinations.
"Now, when I talk about slow hospitals, I have the greatest respect for nurses and doctors. I'm sure they're all doing everything they can and they've done a fantastic job," Cuomo clarified Tuesday. "It's the leadership that I'm talking about."
The governor made a series of comparisons to other situations where leadership bore responsibility for failures.
"The nation is at war and the Army keeps losing. President calls and fires the general. It's not a comment on the soldiers. The soldiers are killing themselves. The general gets fired," Cuomo continued. "End of the losing football season, it's the coach that gets fired. It's about the leadership, so it's nothing about the nurses and the doctors. It's about the leadership, it’s about the management. It always is and that's taking responsibility and accountability."
But others have pointed to Cuomo as the one who is ultimately leading the state through the vaccination process and through the overall pandemic response.
"The Cuomo handling of the vaccine is blithering incompetence," Rensselaer County Executive Steve McLaughlin told the New York Post.
In a Twitter thread, New York Assemblyman-elect Mike Lawler claimed Cuomo was responsible because he was in control of the pandemic response from the beginning.
"It’s very simple: @NYGovCuomo asked for and was given complete control of the pandemic response back in March of last year," Lawler tweeted Tuesday. "He therefore is completely responsible for the consequences of his decisions: nursing home deaths and the failed vaccine distribution.
"That he continues to pass the buck to others, including the hospitals, is as jarring as it is arrogant," Lawler continued.
Cuomo's office reacted sternly to Lawler, who first takes office Wednesday.
"The Assemblymember-Elect must have been too busy tweeting during new member orientation, because if he had paid attention, he’d know that any of the Governor’s actions during this emergency could be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature," administration spokesman Jack Sterne said in a statement to Fox News.
"I know it’s easy to take cheap shots from the cheap seats, but we can’t lose sight of the fact that New York was ambushed by the virus in the spring due to Donald Trump’s incompetence – and while this former political operative whose candidate lost to the Governor has been busy on social media, Governor Cuomo has been on the frontlines fighting this pandemic. Despite federal failures on everything from testing to vaccine distribution, the Governor’s actions have unequivocally saved lives."

Former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush will attend President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration in Washington D.C. later this month, his chief of staff Freddie Ford announced on Tuesday.
The Bush family’s plans to attend the inauguration were revealed just one day before Congress is set to meet to review the Electoral College’s voting results. Several prominent Republicans, including Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri, have signaled their intention to object to Biden’s victory due to alleged voting irregularities in battleground states.
"President and Mrs. Bush look forward to returning to the Capitol for the swearing-in of President Biden and Vice President Harris," Ford wrote on Twitter. "I believe this will be the eighth Inauguration they’ve had the privilege of attending — President Trump’s being the most recent — and witnessing the peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy that never gets old."
The George W. Bush Presidential Center did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
Bush, 74, is the only living Republican former president. Trump has repeatedly clashed with Bush and his brother, former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush, since he entered the political arena.
Trump hammered Jeb Bush in personal terms during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, referring to the former Florida governor as "low energy" on countless occasions during his campaign.
In May, Trump criticized George W. Bush for his release of a video message calling for unity during the coronavirus pandemic, tweeting the former president was "nowhere to be found" in speaking out against the Democratic Party’s attempt to impeach him.
Bush first congratulated Biden on his election victory on Nov. 8.
"Though we have political differences, I know Joe Biden to be a good man, who has won his opportunity to lead and unify our country," Bush said in a statement at the time.
Former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, former first lady Rosalynn Carter, will not attend Biden’s inauguration, a spokesman said earlier Tuesday. Carter, 96, has battled several ailments in recent years.

GOP split over 'brutal' decision to challenge Electoral College

The Republican Party is seeing a divide as GOP senators and congressmen split over the decision to challenge states' Electoral College votes Wednesday.
While the U.S. House of Representatives has seen a steady increase in members committed to objecting to states' election results, Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and 11 others have been condemned by fellow GOP members in the higher chamber.
"To challenge a state’s certification, given how specific the Constitution is, would be a violation of my oath of office — that is not something I am willing to do and is not something Oklahomans would want me to do," Sen. Jim Inhofe, R- Okla., said in a statement Tuesday.
"I hear the frustration and anger from so many of my constituents – and believe me when I say that no one was more disappointed in the outcome of the presidential election on November 3 than me," he added ahead of Wednesday’s joint session.
Sen. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., called his decision to certify "brutal," as the majority of his constituents urged him to challenge it.
"But at the end of the day, there are two things. One is my conscience is captive to God, and my oath is to the Constitution of the United States," he told MSNBC Wednesday.
Cramer said that he could not "reconcile" the objection with both his "conscience and the Constitution," adding that there is no role for the Senate to object to state electors.
"I’ve spent eight years in Congress fighting principally for states' rights," he said, adding that while the decision emotionally was a difficult one, intellectually it was a "fairly easy decision."
Trump’s repeated claims of voter and election fraud have forced Republicans in Congress to choose whether to side with states' election integrity or with the president. The senators in Cruz's group said in a Saturday statement that they were working to "protect" the democratic process, rather than thwarting it.
While more than 20 Republican senators including Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, Pat Toomey, Pa., Mitt Romney, Utah, and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Ky., have said they will vote to certify the Electoral College results Wednesday, senators like Marco Rubio, Fla., and Chuck Grassley, Iowa, have remained mum.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ala., infuriated Trump when he said he would not object to any state’s electoral votes, prompting the president to tell him on Twitter that voters would "never forget" his decision.
But Cotton said his decision was a matter of political strategy to protect the Electoral College, which gives small states like his own the ability to have a voice in the presidential election.
"Democrats could achieve their longstanding goal of eliminating the Electoral College in effect by refusing to count electoral votes in the future for a Republican president-elect," Cotton said in a statement Sunday. "[O]bjecting to certified electoral votes won’t give him a second term—it will only embolden those Democrats who want to erode further our system of constitutional government."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., took the attitude that he would not be opposing the state’s certification because Cruz’s demands for an emergency audit by an electoral commission - just five days before the votes were set to be certified - was too little, too late.
"Proposing a commission at this late date - which has zero chance of becoming reality - is not effectively fighting for President Trump. It appears to be more of a political dodge than an effective remedy," Graham said.
Graham also appeared skeptical that his fellow senators would be able to prove there was voter or election fraud, despite questioning the validity of the election following Nov. 3.
"They will need to provide proof of the charges they are making. They will also need to provide clear and convincing evidence that the failure to act – in both the state and federal courts and the states legislatures which investigated these claims – was made in error," Graham said, adding that he looked forward to "listening closely" to the objections made.
Hawley has said that he will object to Pennsylvania’s results, while Cruz is expected to contest Arizona’s.
A source told Fox News Tuesday, that Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., will likely challenge her own state’s Electoral College votes.
Even with Senate and House Republican's posed to object to state's like Arizona and Pennsylvania, Congress is expected to certify the results Wednesday.

Mit einem eingeschränkten Bewegungsradius in Hotspots sollen die Mobilität der Menschen und damit die Zahl ihrer Kontakte reduziert werden. Die Maßnahme ist umstritten, die Polizei soll ihre Einhaltung kontrollieren.
München (dpa/lby) - Zahlreiche Landkreise und kreisfreie Städte in Bayern wollen ihre Grenzen für Tagesausflügler schließen, darunter die Landkreise Berchtesgadener Land, Deggendorf, Freyung-Grafenau, Regen und Cham. Die Einhaltung dieser Regel soll einem Sprecher des Innenministeriums zufolge ebenso von der Polizei kontrolliert werden wie die Einhaltung der seit Montag geltenden 15-Kilometer-Regel. Der Vorschlag des Gemeindetagspräsidenten Uwe Brandl, dafür Handydaten der Bürger zu nutzen, stieß auf massive Kritik.
Insgesamt 28 kreisfreie Städte und Landkreise sind nach den Zahlen des Robert Koch-Instituts (RKI) zudem von einer seit Montag geltenden Beschränkung der Bewegungsfreiheit betroffen: Bewohner entsprechender Regionen dürfen sich nur noch 15 Kilometer weit von ihrem Wohnort wegbewegen, wenn die Zahl der Neuinfektionen mit dem Coronavirus pro 100 000 Einwohner binnen sieben Tagen mehr als 200 beträgt. Betroffene Landkreise haben die Möglichkeit, Tagesreisen von außerhalb in ihre Region zu verbieten.
Die Landkreise Deggendorf, Freyung-Grafenau, Regen und Passau beispielsweise wollten sich untereinander abstimmen, dass Bürger, die an einer Landkreisgrenze wohnen und deren 15-km-Radius in den Nachbarlandkreis hineinreicht, auch in diesen fahren dürfen, wie ein Sprecher des Landratsamtes Freyung-Grafenau am Montag sagte. Die Allgemeinverfügung zu den neuen Regelungen soll ab Dienstag (00.00 Uhr) gelten.
Auch der Landkreis Cham arbeitet laut einem Sprecher an einem solchen Passus in der Allgemeinverfügung. So sollen auch Menschen, aus den Landkreisen Regensburg oder Schwandorf, die an der Grenze zum Landkreis Cham leben, in diesen fahren dürfen, um ihren 15-km-Radius ausschöpfen zu können.
Gemeindetagspräsident Brandl sagte am Montagmorgen im Bayerischen Rundfunk: «Wir könnten heute Bewegungsprofile aus den Handys auslesen und auf diese Weise sehr treffsicher feststellen, wo sich die Menschen aufhalten. Wir müssen uns halt jetzt entscheiden, was wichtiger ist, der Gesundheitsschutz oder der Datenschutz.»
An dem Vorschlag entzündete sich prompt scharfe Kritik aus der FDP sowie von AfD und Grünen. Auch in der bayerischen Staatsregierung stieß der Vorstoß dem Vernehmen nach nur auf Kopfschütteln und Skepsis. Auch Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragter Ulrich Kelber lehnte den Vorschlag gegenüber der «Augsburger Allgemeinen» ebenfalls strikt ab.
Den höchsten Inzidenz-Wert in Bayern verzeichnete am Montag laut RKI der Landkreis Passau mit 341,5, gefolgt von den Landkreisen Berchtesgadener Land (338,0) und Wunsiedel im Fichtelgebirge (331,7).
Betroffen sind demnach auch die Kreise Kulmbach, Coburg, Kronach, Rottal-Inn, Bayreuth, Roth, Deggendorf, Donau-Ries, Tirschenreuth, Lichtenfels, Cham, Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen, Miesbach, Haßberge, Regen, Freyung-Grafenau, und Dingolfing-Landau. Ebenfalls über einer 7-Tage-Inzidenz von 200 liegen die Städte Coburg, Passau, Landshut, Hof, Fürth, Weiden, Rosenheim sowie Ingolstadt.
Die bayerische Staatsregierung hatte die Einschränkung der Bewegungsfreiheit vergangene Woche beschlossen, um die Verbreitung des Coronavirus weiter zurückzudrängen. Kritiker bezweifeln allerdings die Wirksamkeit der Maßnahme. «Eine 15-Kilometer-Grenze bringt infektiologisch gesehen zunächst keinen Vorteil», sagt Ulrike Protzer, Direktorin des Instituts für Virologie am Helmholtz Zentrum München und Leiterin des Instituts für Virologie der Technischen Universität München.
Eine Entfernung von mehr als 15 Kilometer vom Wohnort ist in Hotspots dann nur noch erlaubt, wenn triftige Gründe vorliegen, etwa die Fahrt zur Arbeit oder zum Einkaufen, nicht aber touristische Tagesausflüge.

Conductor Simon Rattle to leave London post for Munich

LONDON (AP) - Simon Rattle is set to leave his job as musical director at the London Symphony Orchestra to lead the Munich-based Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the two organizations said Monday.
Rattle, one of the world´s most acclaimed conductors, will become the German orchestra´s chief conductor in 2023. He will retain a role with the British orchestra as conductor emeritus, the LSO said.
The German company said Rattle, 65, has signed an initial five-year contract to lead the orchestra and the Bavarian Radio Chorus.
Rattle said he was "thrilled" to accept the post and honored to succeed conductor Mariss Jansons, who died in 2019.
The U.K.-born Rattle took up the job in London in 2017 after 15 years as head of the Berlin Philharmonic. He said when the appointment was announced in 2015 that it would be his last major job in music.
News of his departure was lamented by many in the British arts community, who worry the country will lose cultural clout because of its departure from the European Union.
Rattle said his reasons for taking the job in Munich were "entirely personal, enabling me to better manage the balance of my work and be close enough to home to be present for my children in a meaningful way."
Although Rattle´s exit is not directly linked to Brexit, but the lack of a world-class concert hall in London may be a factor. Rattle took up the London job in expectation that a new home would be built for the orchestra, which is currently based at the Barbican center, a multipurpose arts venue.
Plans for a new concert hall in London have stalled. In a statement, LSO chairman David Alberman and managing director Kathryn McDowell said Rattle "will be taking forward a number of significant projects with us over the coming years working from our home base at the Barbican."

Heizkissen sind was für Omas? Das war gestern. Denn das Corona-Virus treibt nicht nur Infektionszahlen in die Höhe, sondern auch die Nachfrage nach bestimmten Produkten. Wärme auf Knopfdruck zum Beispiel. Lagen die beheizbaren Kissen in der Vergangenheit vorzugsweise auf schweren Ohrensesseln, dürfen sie jetzt, oft klein zusammengeklappt, auf Reisen gehen. In Handtaschen und Rucksäcken nehmen Jung und Alt sie mit, ins gut gelüftete aber eben leider auch eiskalte Klassenzimmer, zu Meetings im Freien, zum Plausch in den Park oder (bald hoffentlich wieder) zum Kaffee in den Schanigarten. Dort sind die inzwischen kabellos wärmenden Kissen die wesentlich umweltfreundlichere Alternative zum Heizpilz, denn sie heizen nicht die Luft, sondern genau da, wo wir es gerne kuschelig warm haben wollen, etwa an Po oder Rücken, manchmal auch an den Nieren oder - umfunktioniert als Muff - an den Händen.

NEW DELHI (AP) - Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma has given birth to a baby girl, her husband and captain of the country´s national cricket team, Virat Kohli, said Monday, declaring that the couple was beyond blessed to start "this new chapter of our lives."
"We thank you all for your love, prayers and good wishes," Kohli wrote on Twitter.
The as-yet-unnamed baby - the couple´s first child - arrived nearly three years after Sharma and Kohli married in a low-key ceremony in Italy in December 2017 after being in a relationship for several years.
Kohli, 32, is one of the world´s top batsmen. He was with the national team in an ongoing tour to Australia but returned to India in December after taking paternity leave and missing the second, third and fourth matches. He has been by the side of his wife since then.
Sharma, 32, is one of the most successful and highest-paid actresses in Bollywood. She was last seen on the big screen in the 2018 film "Zero," and has also been working on content for major streaming platforms including Netflix.
The couple is extremely popular on social media and millions follow them across different platforms.
Shortly after the announcement, fans took to Twitter to celebrate the news. Bollywood celebrities and Indian cricketers congratulated the couple on social media.
Cricket and Bollywood are two of India´s great national institutions.

YOKOHAMA, Japan (AP) - New year, new contract for 53-year-old striker Kazuyoshi Miura, one of the world's oldest professional soccer players.
Miura, who turns 54 on Feb. 26, will enter his 36th season after signing an extension with J-League club Yokohama FC on Monday, the league said.
Nicknamed "King Kazu," Miura played in only four league games last year and did not score but extended his record as the oldest player in the J-League. He joined Yokohama in 2005.
"Return of the King," the J-League said in its announcement on Twitter.
The league's 2021 season is scheduled to begin on Feb. 27.
Miura in March 2017 became the oldest player to appear in a professional match at the age of 50 years and seven days, catching global media attention by surpassing England great Stanley Matthews´ longevity record.
Miura played for Brazilian club Santos and in Italy with Genoa earlier in his career and represented Japan´s national team 89 times, scoring 55 goals.

Sweden sends 2 to prison for Chechen critic hammer assault

STOCKHOLM (AP) - A Swedish court on Monday sentenced a man and a woman to 10 years and eight years in prison respectively for attempted murder and accessory to attempted murder in a February hammer attack on a blogger and critic of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov.
The pair, who were not named by the Gavle District Court, assaulted Tumso Abdurachmanov on Feb. 26 in his home in Gavle, 170 kilometers (106 miles miles) north of Stockholm.
In a statement, the court said the assault was planned and added that "the victim and the perpetrator had no relationship to each other."
Abdurachmanov was assaulted with a hammer by a man who told the Chechen he came from Moscow, the Swedish news agency TT said. He survived the attack.
The TT news agency said it was clear to the prosecution that the man attacked Abdurachmanov and that the woman had started a relationship with Abdurachmanov in order to help with the attack and allow the attacker to enter the apartment.
The blogger's lawyer, Jens Sjolund, told Swedish broadcaster SVT that his client had hoped for a longer sentence out of fear he might be attacked again.
In a separate statement, Daniel Stenling, head of the Swedish Security Police´s counterintelligence unit, said in "the last five years, other countries´ activities and operations on Sweden have intensified."
He added that SAPO - the agency's acronym - "has previously noted how other countries act to undermine fundamental human rights and freedoms in Sweden. Through persecution, threats and even attempted murder, people are forced to refrain from expressing their opinions."
Moscow has relied on Kadyrov to stabilize Chechnya after two separatist wars and he has run the predominantly Muslim region as his personal fiefdom, relying on its feared security forces to enforce his rule and quash dissent. International human rights groups have accused Chechen authorities of abductions, torture and killings of their opponents.
The Chechen leader has rejected allegations of his involvement in attacks on his critics abroad, claiming that they were performed by foreign spies to compromise him and tarnish Russia´s image.
The court said the two people convicted must also jointly pay damages to the victim of 140,000 kronor ($17,000) plus interest.

The Latest on the effects of the coronavirus outbreak on sports around the world:
___
Scottish soccer authorities have suspended the professional game below the top two divisions for three weeks because of an escalation in coronavirus cases in the country.
The suspension applies to the men´s leagues below the Championship, the leading two women´s leagues, and the men´s Scottish Cup.
The Scottish Football Association says the top-flight Premiership is exempt "provided it continues to adhere to the stringent testing protocols" while teams in the second-tier Championship must start weekly testing.
Scottish FA chairman Rod Petrie says "the risk of mass transportation of untested, largely part-time players is something that cannot be sustained as the cases continue to rise and available hospital beds become increasingly scarce."
A national lockdown is in place in Scotland until the end of January at least.

Jana Kramer details ‘scariest’ experience when daughter, 4, ‘got into’ another SUV at park

For Jana Kramer, there was no time like the present to have the "stranger danger" talk with her 4-year-old daughter Jolie.
The "One Tree Hill" alum opened up about a frightening experience--the time recently when Jolie "got into a white SUV" during a trip to the park and scared the living daylights out of Kramer, 37, and her husband Mike Caussin, also 37.
"Jolie met a sweet little girl and they started running around," the actress wrote Monday on Instagram alongside an image of herself with Jolie. "I watch my kids like hawks, but Jolie was running around in the play house so it was hard at times to see her. Needless to say, I always had a watch on her. And then I went down the slide with [my son], Jace, again and I saw Jolie running around again with her sweet friend."
Kramer added that despite the fact Caussin was "patrolling" the premises where many of the children were playing, the pair still managed to lose sight of Jolie for just mere moments.
"The next minute, a lady walked up to me and said, ‘Your daughter just got into a white SUV,’" the "Dancing With the Stars" alum recalled. "My heart went straight to my gut and I said, ‘WHAT?!!!’ I immediately ran as fast as I could to the parking lot where I then saw Jolie and the little girl coming around the back of the car. … The little girl’s mom was in car. I clung to Jolie so quick and caught my breath and tried to turn off all the ‘what if’s’ going through my brain."
Kramer described the experience as "eye-opening" and added that she promptly used the moment to educate her daughter on the dangers of engaging with strangers.
"I never had the talk with Jolie," Kramer explained. "I think I expected her to know she can’t leave without Mommy or Daddy and plus, I was always watching. I’m grateful we had the talk today."
Kramer was inundated with responses from followers who expressed their own fears surrounding the scary incident and many thanked Kramer for sharing it. One of them, "Bachelor" alum Jamie Otis, added that she too has never had the stranger talk with her own daughter.
"I’ve never had the talk with my daughter, [Henley], but I’m definitely going to now!" said Otis. "So glad everything is OK."

The Weeknd debuts facial alterations for 'Save Your Tears' music video

The Weeknd is sporting a drastically different look.
On Tuesday, the 30-year-old musician dropped a music video to accompany the song "Save Your Tears," from his acclaimed album "After Hours."
In the video, the singer -- born Abel Makkonen Tesfaye -- can be seen with drastic facial alterations making him nearly unrecognizable.
Viewers will notice The Weeknd's cheekbones, jawline and lips have all been made more prominent and his nose made crooked, while scars are also visible on his cheeks and the sides of his face.
While they look convincing, the changes are simply prosthetics, applied by Mike Marino of Prosthetic Renaissance, who explained on Instagram that it was simply "weird plastic surgery make up."
"You could've asked me why I broke your heart / You could've told me that you fell apart," The Weeknd sings. "But you walked past me like I wasn't there / And just pretended like you didn't care."
In the chorus, he pleads for reconciliation.
"I don't know why I run away / I'll make you cry when I run away / Take me back 'cause I wanna stay / Save your tears for another / Save your tears for another day / Save your tears for another day."
The Weeknd also donned a Michael Jackson-esque glitzy red jacket for the video as he dances around a masquerade-themed event in a dark, spooky ballroom.
At one point in the video, The Weeknd hides a revolver behind his back and the lights flicker out. When the lights come back on, a woman is holding the gun to the musician's head.
He evidently survives the ordeal, as he's next seen dancing around the room, imitating shooting people with the gun.
To finish the video, the musician point the gun at his head and fires, but only red and white confetti comes out -- and the crowd cheers.
The star, who will serve as this year's halftime entertainment at the Super Bowl, was seen at multiple award shows last year looking battered and bloodied at the VMAs and donning facial bandages at the AMAs. Prosthetic Renaissance was also behind those looks, according to Harper's Bazaar.

A three-legged dog that went missing in early 2020 was reunited with her owner just in time to start the new year.
Last month, Dylan Summers, from Bourbon, Mo., had finally given up hope of seeing his beloved dog Athena again when he started looking online for a new dog to adopt.
Athena went missing in February last year while she was recovering from amputation surgery. She had to have her back leg and part of her tail removed after she was hit by a car and was still on post-op medication when she disappeared from Summers’ yard.
"I searched everywhere for her and posted online but no one came forward," Summers told Fox 2 Now. "I had suspicions that she was stolen but I couldn’t confirm it. I was so worried about her."
After 10 months of searching, he decided to start looking for another dog to adopt -- and found Athena’s picture on the Gateway Pet Guardians website on Dec. 30. He quickly called the animal welfare agency.

Gateway, based in East St. Louis, Ill., had taken Athena in earlier in the month along with several other dogs after police removed them from a property "where the owner was in serious legal trouble," Gateway wrote on Facebook.
"The other dogs at the residence looked like they had never had vet," the agency wrote. "Naturally, we were all puzzled as to how a dog who had costly surgeries was there with them."

Just two days after calling the shelter -- on Jan. 1 -- Summers and Athena were reunited.
"I was so happy to hear that she was safe and doing well and being reunited with her was incredible," Summers told Fox 2 News. "She is already settled back in at home and it’s like she never left. I am so appreciative of Gateway Pet Guardians for getting her back home to me."

Influencer moms allegedly feuded over ‘unique’ baby name: Report

Two influencers are rumored to have been at odds over a very specific baby name.
The name that has allegedly caused a rift between Victoria’s Secret model Jessica Hart and Wyld Blue consignment store owner Sasha Benz is Baby, an insider told The Sydney Morning Herald.
Benz, 33, had named her daughter Baybi nearly three years ago, and was reportedly not happy to hear that Hart, 34, decided to name her newborn Baby towards the end of 2020.
"Sasha was devastated that her close friend would copy her daughter's 'unique' name, especially after she'd gone to her for name ideas," the unnamed insider told the news outlet while noting that the pair weren’t on the best speaking terms.
Hart reportedly shared the news of her name decision a week before she gave birth in November. The insider claims Hart told Benz: "We are calling her Baby, but don't worry - it's spelt differently!"
However, Hart told People magazine in late December that she had been inspired by the character Baby in "Dirty Dancing."
In her own words: "I first heard it in the movie Dirty Dancing and always thought I'd love to name my daughter Baby. I was hesitant to ask James about it at first but we just weren't landing on a name. Finally, probably a month before she was born, I said what about Baby, and he said, 'Oh my gosh, I love it.' It's felt right ever since."
Her daughter’s full name is Baby-Rae Kirkham, which is a reference to her own name Jessica-Rae and her fiancé, NASCAR race driver James Kirkham. Hart’s mother’s name is also Rae.
Hart did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
Benz took to social media to deny that there was any feud going on in her Instagram Story on Tuesday, which showed a screenshot she captured from The Cut – a lifestyle and celebrity news outlet from New York Magazine.
"This is so stupid. There is no feud, no problems – this is all fake news, Jess and I are absolutely still friends," she wrote. "There is no issue – this is the media at its finest trying to make a story out of nothing. Please tell me there are more important things in the world to write about. What a reach!"
Meanwhile, Benz told Daily Mail Australia that she and Hart "chatted it out a few weeks back."
The pair are still following each other on Instagram, though it appears that Benz has not liked Hart’s photo with Baby-Rae, her pregnancy photos or other photos in general. Hart, on the other hand, has liked Benz’s most recent photo of Baybi.
Benz reiterated that she and Hart are still friends in a statement sent to Fox News.
"Of course we are not at odds, that’s so silly. [It’s] just press trying to construct a drama," Benz wrote back over Instagram. "My little girl Baybi is almost three now, and I am so happy Jess and James are bringing another beautiful Baby into the world."

Germany's Merkel: Trump's Twitter eviction 'problematic'

BERLIN (AP) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel considers U.S. President Donald Trump's eviction from Twitter by the company "problematic," her spokesman said Monday.
Twitter permanently suspended Trump from the microblogging platform on Friday, citing a "risk of further incitement of violence" in the wake of the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of the outgoing president.
Asked about Twitter's decision, Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said the operators of social media platforms "bear great responsibility for political communication not being poisoned by hatred, by lies and by incitement to violence."
He said it's right not to "stand back" when such content is posted, for example by flagging it.
But Seibert also said that the freedom of opinion is a fundamental right of "elementary significance."
"This fundamental right can be intervened in, but according to the law and within the framework defined by legislators - not according to a decision by the management of social media platforms," he told reporters in Berlin. "Seen from this angle, the chancellor considers it problematic that the accounts of the U.S. president have now been permanently blocked."
Facebook on Thursday suspended Trump´s account through Jan. 20, the day of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, and possibly indefinitely.
Merkel herself does not have a Twitter account, although Seibert does and many German government ministers do.

Cuomo's book touting 'leadership' during pandemic released just before huge spike in COVID cases, pundit notes

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo took an early victory lap touting his response to the coronavirus pandemic with the release of his book last year, but as the nation faces another surge of cases, perhaps it was ill-timed.
Cuomo, a Democrat, raised eyebrows when he announced that he was already writing a memoir about how he handled the outbreak in New York. The book, titled "American Crisis: Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic," was released in October.
However, as The Blaze's Stu Burguiere pointed out on Tuesday, New York was hit with a major spike in coronavirus cases following the release of Cuomo's book.
According to John Hopkins University's Coronavirus Resource Center, New York was averaging 1374 new coronavirus cases per day by Oct. 13, the day Cuomo's "Leadership" book was released.
As of Jan. 4, New York was averaging a whopping 14,089 new cases per day.
Cuomo received high praise from the media in the early months of the pandemic, particularly for his perceived bluntness at his daily press conferences.
However, much of the media have overlooked Cuomo's shortcomings, specifically his controversial nursing home policy that critics believe is responsible for thousands of deaths among senior citizens in his state.
Cuomo has faced intense scrutiny over an order he issued back in late March that forced nursing homes to accept patients who tested positive for coronavirus, despite testing deficiencies for both residents and staff. Cuomo signed an executive order on May 11 reversing the policy, stopping hospitals from sending infected patients back to nursing homes and ramping up testing for staff.
During that period, roughly 6,326 coronavirus patients were admitted in New York nursing homes, according to the state's own health department. Reports have shown that anywhere between 6,400 and 6,700 nursing home residents have died, but The Associated Press suggested in August that due to underreporting, the actual death toll could be higher than 11,000.

South Africa struggles with post-holiday spike in COVID-19

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - South Africa is struggling to cope with a spike in COVID-19 cases that has already overwhelmed some hospitals, as people returning from widespread holiday travel along the coast spread the country's more infectious coronavirus variant.
Of particular concern is Gauteng province, the country's most populous, which includes the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Authorities say it is already seeing a spike in new infections after people traveled to coastal areas, where the variant is dominant.
"We expect that Gauteng is going to be hit very soon and very hard," said Professor Willem Hanekom, director of the Africa Health Research Institute. "It is anticipated Gauteng will have a steep curve of increased cases and hospitalizations."
The Steve Biko Hospital in the Pretoria area has already reached capacity and is putting COVID-19 patients into a field hospital outside the main building.
In response to the resurgence, South Africa has reimposed restrictions to curb the spread of the virus, including banning alcohol sales, closing bars, enforcing a night curfew and limiting attendance at public gatherings including church services and funerals.
President Cyril Ramaphosa, who has met with his National Coronavirus Command Council and Cabinet over the renewed public health crisis, is expected to address the nation Monday night on the pandemic.
South Africa, with a population of 60 million, has reported 1.2 million confirmed cases of COVID-19, representing more than 30% of all the cases in Africa, which this week exceeded 3 million. It has reported over 33,000 virus-related deaths but experts say all numbers worldwide understate the true toll of the pandemic due to missed cases and limited testing.
South Africa's 7-day rolling average of daily new cases has risen from 19.87 new cases per 100,000 people on Dec. 27 to 31.52 new cases per 100,000 people on Jan. 10, according to Johns Hopkins University.
The 7-day rolling average of daily deaths in South Africa has risen about 75% over the past two weeks, from 0.49 deaths per 100,000 people on Dec. 27 to 0.86 deaths per 100,000 people on Jan. 10.
Neighboring Zimbabwe is also experiencing a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, largely as a result of the high numbers of travelers between the two countries.
Zimbabwean authorities have banned families from transporting dead relatives between cities, part of new measures to stop traditional funeral rites that are believed to be increasing the spread of the disease.
The announcement stops families from taking the dead to their areas of birth for ceremonies and burial. Police have also banned public viewing of bodies and the tradition of having a corpse stay overnight in the family's home before burial.

BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) - A spate of rain and snow across the Balkans in the past days has left homes and fields flooded, disrupted road and sea traffic and caused power outages.
In Serbia, authorities on Monday prepared to clear tons of garbage clogging a lake in the southwest of the country after it was swept off from landfills by overflowing rivers.
Emergency measures have been announced in the southern Doljevac municipality, where rescue teams helped more than two dozen people evacuate their homes.
The state RTS television reported that numerous fields and barns are flooded and villages left without drinking water from days of rain and snow around the southern town of Leskovac and other towns and villages in the area.
In central and eastern regions of Serbia, thousands of people were left without electricity as snow collapsed distribution lines. Authorities urged drivers to be cautious and not to take to roads unless absolutely necessary because of snow.
Traffic disruption and speed limits due to snow were reported in Croatia, where a bus overturned early on Monday on the main east-west highway, injuring eight people.
Floods were reported in Albania and Kosovo, where days of heavy rain were mixed with snowy weather.
Thousands of acres of land are flooded in western Albania and bridges and roads have been damaged, leaving villages isolated and forcing emergency deliveries of water to hundreds of people.
Power outages were also reported, which meant that some schools could not reopen Monday as authorities struggled to handle water levels in the main hydropower system on the Drini river.
The army, police and local teams stepped in to assist isolated residents in the areas of Shkoder, Lezha and Durres where major flooding in 2010 caused devastation.
In Kosovo, officials were consulting with the commanders of the NATO-led peacekeepers over how to help flood-hit areas in the west where people have been forced to evacuate homes.
A house in the village of Fushe belonging to 60-year-old Muj Zabeli was flooded and seriously damaged. But Zabeli says he is getting little help.
"No one is interested," he complained. "You may suffer a loss here and no one would care."
Slippery roads and strong wind have prompted authorities to ban trucks with trailers and double-decker buses on some roads as many Adriatic Sea connections were halted.
Heavy rain further south in Montenegro damaged a fortress wall in the southern town of Ulcinj, which is near the border with Albania.

Trump says he, Pence in ‘total agreement’ VP has ‘power’ to block certification of ‘illegal’ election

President Trump on Tuesday said he and Vice President Mike Pence are "in total agreement" that the vice president "has the power to act" and block the certification of the 2020 presidential election results on Wednesday.
The president’s comments came after The New York Times on Tuesday reported that Pence, during a conversation with Trump, told him that he had no power to block the certification of the election results during the joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
"The New York Times report regarding comments Vice President Pence supposedly made to me today is fake news. He never said that," Trump said in a statement Tuesday night. "The Vice President and I are in total agreement that the Vice President has the power to act."
The president said that the election was "corrupt in contested states, and in particular it was not in accordance with the Constitution in that they made large scale changes to election rules and regulations as dictated by local judges and politicians, not by state legislators."
"This means that it was illegal," Trump said.
Trump went on to say that Pence has "several options under the U.S. Constitution."
"He can decertify the results or send them back to the states for change and certification," Trump said. "He can also decertify the illegal and corrupt results and send them to the House of Representatives for the one vote for one state tabulation."
A spokesman for Pence declined to comment.
Vice President Mike Pence will preside over the joint session on Wednesday, but he is expected to play a mostly ceremonial role.
On Tuesday morning, the president insisted that Pence has the power to overturn the election results.
"The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors," the president tweeted on Tuesday morning.
And Monday night, at an election eve rally in Georgia for the two GOP senators running in the state’s twin U.S. Senate runoff contests, Trump told the large crowd of supporters, "I hope Mike Pence comes through for us, I have to tell you."
"I hope that our great vice president – our great vice president, comes through for us. He's a great guy. Of course, if he doesn't come through, I won't like him as much," Trump emphasized.
But White House officials told Fox News on Tuesday that Pence will "follow the law," saying that Pence is "taking a very diligent and studious approach to his job tomorrow."
"He has consulted at length with staff. He has gone through the Electoral Count Act several times," an official said. "He has read legal opinions, met with the Senate parliamentarian and consulted with outside experts on the subject matter."
But those officials add that "the vice president will follow the law. He will act tomorrow with fidelity to the law and the Constitution."
Meanwhile, more than a dozen Senate Republicans have said they will object to the certification of the presidential election results in at least one state, and more than 100 House Republican members said they plan to object to results in Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia.
But Republicans, like Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Sens. John Thune of South Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas, Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Tim Scott of South Carolina, among others, have committed to voting to certify the election results.
Trump has repeatedly charged for two months that the presidential election was "rigged" and has claimed that there was "massive voter fraud" in a handful of battleground states where Biden narrowly edged the president, to score a 306-232 Electoral College victory over the GOP incumbent.
The Trump campaign has launched a number of legal challenges, while Trump himself has urged states with Republican governors and legislatures to overturn Joe Biden’s victories.
While the Trump campaign has challenged the results in dozens of lawsuits, judges in multiple states have shot them down. Attorney General William Barr told the Associated Press last month that "to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election."
Meanwhile, on the sidelines of the joint-session of Congress, the president is expected to speak at a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C.
"I will be speaking at the SAVE AMERICA RALLY tomorrow on the Ellipse at 11AM Eastern. Arrive early—doors open at 7AM Eastern. BIG CROWDS!" Trump tweeted Tuesday night.
The president, last month, promised a "wild" protest in the nation’s capital on Jan. 6, while reiterating his claims that it was "statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election."
Also Tuesday night, the president tweeted that Washington is "being inundated with people who don't want to see an election victory stolen by emboldened Radical Left Democrats."
"Our Country has had enough, they won't take it anymore! We hear you (and love you) from the Oval Office," Trump tweeted. "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Uganda accuses Facebook of 'interfering' in tense polls

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - A Ugandan official accused Facebook of meddling in Uganda's election after several accounts linked to the campaign of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni were removed for alleged inauthentic behavior.
Presidential spokesman Don Wanyama told The Associated Press on Monday that Facebook's action was evidence of what Ugandan authorities see as outside support of Bobi Wine, the leading opposition candidate in presidential elections scheduled for Thursday.
"Facebook is interfering in the electoral process of Uganda," he said. "If people wanted to have the evidence of outside interference, now they have it."
In a statement e-mailed to AP, Facebook said it removed a network of accounts and pages that "used fake and duplicate accounts to manage pages, comment on other people´s content, impersonate users, re-share posts in groups to make them appear more popular than they were. Given the impending election in Uganda, we moved quickly to investigate and take down this network."
That network is linked to Uganda's Ministry of Information and Communications Technology, the statement said.
Wanyama charged that Facebook had blocked the accounts of Museveni's mobilizers, especially those who communicate in the local Luganda language.
Among those affected is a singer known as Full Figure, who is a well-known campaigner for Museveni, he said.
Some of the blocked Ugandan accounts campaigned harshly against presidential challenger Wine. The 38-year-old Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, has fired the imagination of many across Africa as he tries to unseat Museveni, who has deployed the military to prevent what he sees as opposition attempts to create civil unrest that could cause regime change. Wine's rallies are often disrupted by police, sometimes violently.
Wine and other opposition figures have called the 76-year-old Museveni a dictator. Museveni has accused Wine of being an agent of "outsiders, homosexuals and others who don´t like the stability and independence of Uganda."
Wine, a popular singer before he won a seat in parliament, has attracted national attention as the beret-wearing leader of a movement known as "People Power." He has been arrested many times and sometimes beaten in the past year for alleged offenses such as disobeying lawful orders. He has not been convicted of any charges.
Museveni has ruled Uganda since 1986. He has defied many calls for his retirement, saying he has been elected many times by Ugandans who love him.
Ugandan polls are often marred by allegations of rigging. The country has never seen a peaceful transfer of power since independence from Britain in 1962.

At least seven people have been charged in connection with alleged pro-Antifa vandalism of federal buildings in Philadelphia on New Year’s Eve, police said.
Dozens of black-clad demonstrators swarmed a trio of federal buildings in the City of Brotherly Love on Thursday night, according to police. The buildings included the Robert Nix Building and other federal facilities.
Graffiti messages included the acronym "ACAB," which stands for "all cops are bastards," which was sprayed on a sheriff’s vehicle, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Police also recovered "numerous Molotov cocktails," Philadelphia police Chief Inspector Mike Cram said in the aftermath, according to local media.
Just before 9 p.m. on Dec. 31, police said "a large disorderly crowd" had gathered around the Robert Nix Federal Building on the 900 block of Market Street. Adam McVicker, 25, threw a brick breaking multiple windows, causing about $3,000 in damage, police said in a statement.
He allegedly ran off with three other people, who have been identified as a New Jersey man named Dustin Callahan, 24, and Allison Donohue, 23, and Josey Augustine, 31, both of Pennsylvania. Police said they found a can of yellow spray paint with McVicker. They all have been arrested on criminal mischief and other charges.
A few minutes later, on Sansom Street, highway patrol officers were responding to reports of "unruly Antifa protesters" defacing government buildings in the area.
Two other women and a man were arrested with spray paint on their clothing, according to authorities. Most of the suspects were in their early- to mid-20s. The oldest was 31.
One of them, 25-year-old Jacob Robotin, was allegedly carrying flammable objects and a bag of a white powder labeled "Fire Starter," police said. He was arrested along with Sydney Miller, 22, and Meredith Tooker, 26.
Those three face were charged with attempted arson, risking catastrophe, conspiracy, and other offenses, police said.

A man was found dehydrated and covered in dirt after he spent several hours trapped in the roof cavity of a hotel he allegedly tried to break into.
Police said the 30-year-old was punching holes in the walls when they arrived at the Landsborough Hotel on Queensland's Sunshine Coast about 6am on Wednesday.
Officers were called after staff heard 'moaning and groaning' noises coming from inside the rear toilet block of the hotel.
The man was on a 'mind-alerting' substance when police arrived, Senior Sergeant Chris Eaton told the Sunshine Coast Daily.
'He was distressed from being stuck, no obvious injuries. But being the middle of summer, he was very dehydrated from the heat,' Sen-Sgt Eaton said.
'He was in a pair of shorts and covered head-to-toe in dirt from allegedly crawling through crawl space in the floor prior to being in the roof.'
Sen-Sgt Eaton said the North Booval man was lucky not to electrocute himself after allegedly pulling out wires in the roof.
The man will face Maroochydore Magistrates Court on Thursday after being charged with breaking and entering.

NI experiencing its pandemic `worst case scenario´ - O´Neill

Northern Ireland is currently experiencing its pandemic worst case scenario, the deputy First Minister has warned.
Michelle O’Neill said dire predictions made last March about the potential pressures the region’s health service could face were now coming true.
Ms O’Neill said that while Northern Ireland had now passed the peak of new infections in the current Covid-19 wave, the associated surge in hospital admissions was still to come.
Her stark assessments came after health chiefs warned that the number of Covid-19 patients being treated in hospital could double by the third week in January.
Northern Ireland’s hospital network came under intense pressure at the weekend with two health trusts being forced to issue appeals to off duty staff to report in to work.
The situation was the most extreme in the Southern Trust area, where Covid-19 infection rates are currently highest in Northern Ireland.
Over the weekend, Craigavon Area Hospital and Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry were in danger of being swamped with new cases.
Off duty staff coming in to help treat the influx of patients helped avoid the declaration of a major incident.
Enniskillen’s South West Acute hospital in the Western Trust area also asked off duty staff to report into work in case there was a need to start receiving inpatients from the Southern Trust.
Patient diversions to Enniskillen were ultimately not required.
“I think the developments over the weekend whilst they were predicted are still very stark and very alarming,” said Ms O’Neill.
“We are at the extreme of the pandemic right now, this is the worst situation that we have been in from the very onset.
“I think we’re now witnessing this scenario which was predicted to be the worst case scenario way back in the early part of March last year but now it’s a real lived experience.”
Ms O’Neill told BBC Radio Ulster that she could not rule out a potential extension of the region’s current lockdown which is due to end in the first week of February. She said all options remained on the table.
“All of the predictions indicate that we’ve probably reached the peak in this wave of the number of new cases,” she said.
“But we certainly haven’t reached the peak yet in terms of the pressure on the health service. And the next number of weeks is going to be a huge, huge effort from all those people who work in the health service on the frontline.”
First Minister Arlene Foster said the situation was “very concerning”.
“If you look at the number of positive cases whilst they are still too high they have gone down from the peak of what you will recall was over 2,000 cases and yesterday I think we had 1,112 positive cases,” she told Radio Ulster.
“So while the cases are still high, the assessment is that we are past the peak of cases but of course then there is a lag then in terms of hospital admissions and that is very concerning to see that we are now at 703 Covid inpatients in our hospitals.”
A further 17 Covid-19 linked deaths were confirmed in Northern Ireland on Sunday.

Riot police clash with protesters calling for return of Nepal´s...

Riot police in Nepal clashed for hours with thousands of protesters demanding a return of the monarchy that was abolished more than a decade ago and the reinstatement of a Hindu state.
Police blocked the main road to the prime minister’s office, using batons to beat the protesters, who responded by throwing rocks and sticks.
There were no reports of serious injuries.
It was the latest in a series of protests against prime minister Khadga Prasad Oli’s government by a variety of groups, including a faction of his governing Communist party.
The unrest, fuelled by Mr Oli’s failure to honour an agreement to split his term as prime minister with the co-leader of the governing party, has increased distrust of the political system.
The protesters on Monday accused the government of corruption and using force against peaceful rallies.
“King please come back and save our country.
“We want the monarchy back, abolish the republic,” the demonstrators chanted as they waved the country’s flag.
Weeks of street protests in 2006 forced then King Gyanendra to abandon his authoritarian rule and introduce democracy.
Two years later, a newly elected parliament voted to abolish the monarchy and declared Nepal a republic with a president as head of state.
Since then, Gyanendra has been living in Nepal as a private citizen with no power or state protection.
He still has some support among the people but little chance of returning to power.
The protesters also demanded that Nepal again be declared a Hindu state.
Most Nepalis are Hindu, but soon after the king’s rule ended, parliament also decided to turn the country into a secular state.
Mr Oli became prime minister after his Nepal Communist Party won elections three years ago.
His party and the party of former Maoist rebels had merged to form a unified Communist party ahead of the vote.
Tensions, however, have grown between Mr Oli and the leader of the former rebels, Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who is co-chairman of the combined party.
The two had previously agreed that they would split the five-year prime minister’s term between them, but Mr Oli has refused to allow Mr Dahal to take over.
Instead, Mr Oli ordered the dissolution of parliament last month and announced new elections later this year.
Parliament’s dissolution has been protested by Mr Dahal’s faction and by opposition groups.

DeSantis says people flee to Florida from 'draconian lockdowns'

Governor Ron DeSantis has said people are fleeing to Florida because they are sick of 'draconian lockdowns' in other states while Tucker Carlson has blasted CNN for 'attacking' the governor but not New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
DeSantis told Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight Tuesday night that Americans are turning to the Sunshine State as a 'landing pad' amid the pandemic because it has fewer restrictions put in place to slow the spread of coronavirus.
He also brushed off criticism in the media over Florida's vaccine rollout accusing some outlets of 'spinning whatever narrative they think can get ratings' following his spat with a CNN journalist Monday who asked why hundreds of elderly residents were forced to camp out overnight to get their hands on a shot.
Right-wing host Carlson joined in and berated liberal news outlet CNN for its 'attack' on DeSantis while not criticizing northeastern states like the Big Apple because 'Chris Cuomo's brother is running New York'.
'If you look at new home builds, new home starts, if you look at home sales, prices going up. I mean, it's pretty clear that people are viewing Florida as a landing pad,' DeSantis said.
The governor said, though official figures are not yet available to show the influx, anecdotally people tell him they moved to the state because its schools and businesses remained open where other states shuttered.
'You know, it's interesting, as this went on I would encounter people particularly in September that would move from parts of the country and say "look, they closed our schools. Your schools are open. I'm going to come here because you guys are doing it right",' he said.
'So I think there's been a variety of factors.
'Taxes has been one thing but I really do think these lockdowns have driven some people to Florida who just had enough with these draconian, ineffective restrictions.'
DeSantis said that Florida had faired well during the pandemic because people see 'greener pastures' in the states.
'We are doing very well. Economically, obviously our tourism industry has gotten hit. That's recovering,' he said.
'Home sales are up I think 22 percent year-over-year. People have opportunities in Florida, they are seeing that.
'They're coming here for greener pastures.'
Over New Year weekend, Florida beaches were packed with maskless revelers partying in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
DeSantis has not issued a mask mandate in the state despite soaring cases, deaths and hospitalizations.
Florida has recorded 1,392,123 coronavirus cases throughout the pandemic - the third-highest number of cases of all states and the first case of the new more highly contagious variant of the virus was detected in the state Thursday.
But DeSantis boasted of the fewer restrictions and also pointed his strict law-and-order approach as a reason some people have flocked to the state.
He said the state 'take[s] law and order very seriously' and said he would 'not tolerate a Minneapolis type situation' which was marked by unrest following the police killing of George Floyd.
'When I was going on the summer I had the National Guard on standby, we were working with our localities in the state of Florida and you didn't see, hear what you saw there,' he said.
Carlson asked DeSantis why he thought he was shielding criticism for his role in the pandemic compared to other states in the northeast that the host believes have handled things 'worse'.
DeSantis said he would 'wear the criticism as a badge of honor if it means that my state has a state in which every parent has the right to send their kid to in-person instruction, everybody has a right to work and a right to pursue their vocation'.
He added: 'I'm happy for the criticism because, you know what, I don't seek validation by the media.
'What I seek is supporting the citizens of my state and I can tell you as this pandemic has worn on, a number of times someone has come up to me with tears in their eyes saying if it wasn't for you my kid would not be in school and I would not have my job, thank you that is why I'm in this job.'
When asked by Carlson if he thinks he would 'get fair treatment from CNN if your brother had a prime time show on that channel', DeSantis laughed.
Carlson was referring to New York's Governor Cuomo whose brother Chris has a show on the CNN.
DeSantis accused the network of having an agenda.
'Well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts then every day would be Christmas,' he laughed.
'But I think it's very clear some of these networks obviously, they have agendas. They are doing narratives.
'They are not trying to report facts anymore. It's all about spinning whatever narrative they think can get ratings and that's just the reality of the situation, so it doesn't impact me, we are going to continue keeping our eye on the ball and working as hard as we can to deliver results.'
Carlson had hit out at both CNN and states including New York and New Jersey earlier in the show.
He claimed the blue states had 'destroy[ed] every small business in the state and that's why those states are emptying out and moving to Florida' but that CNN would not criticise them because of Chris Cuomo.
'Florida, by the way, is leading New York in vaccine distribution as well. And at the same time, as we just noted, people are leaving those two states and moving to the state of Florida, which by the way it is controlled by a Republican and maybe that's why CNN is enraged by all of this,' he claimed.
New York is actually leading Florida in terms of vaccine distribution.
The Empire State has so far used up 33 percent of its allocation and vaccinated 1.5 percent of its population.
Florida has used up 23 percent of its vaccine doses with 1.2 percent of residents having received the shots.
'They don't want you to know that Chris Cuomo's brother is running New York, so instead they attacked the state of Florida.'
On Monday, DeSantis interrupted and clapped back at CNN journalist Rosa Flores at his press conference when she asked about issues with the state's vaccine rollout.
'What has gone wrong with the rollout of the vaccine that we've seen phone lines jammed, websites crashing- ' she asked.
DeSantis cut her off saying: 'There's a lot of demand. I mean I think at the end of the day- '
The pair started speaking over each other with the journalist saying: 'If I could just finish my question.'
DeSantis pointed his finger at her and repeatedly said 'excuse me'.
'You've just said "what has gone wrong?" So I'm answering the question,' he fired.
She replied: 'If I could complete the question through.'
'So what are you going to give a speech or are you going to ask a question?' asked DeSantis.
The journalist tried to complete her question asking why senor citizens were forced to wait overnight for the vaccine.
After firing back asking if she had 'investigated why' the governor pinned the issue on hospitals that told residents it was 'first come, first served' leading to an influx of people.
'We distributed vaccines to hospitals and the hospitals said first come first serve, if you show up, we will do it,' he said.
Hundreds of seniors were seen camping out in their cars overnight Monday in Daytona Beach in order to get their shots.
The seniors camped out in the Daytona Stadium parking lot so they could be first in line for at the drive-thru vaccine facility.
In other parts of Florida, seniors are registering online to get access to the shots.
Nationwide states are struggling to get shots in arms quickly while cases continue to spread at record rates.
DeSantis announced a new policy under which the state will allocate more doses to hospitals that dispense them most quickly.

Drew Barrymore was stood up by a man she met on a dating app

Even Drew Barrymore struggles in the dating world.
The 45-year-old star welcomed comedian Nikki Glaser on her talk show on Monday and they talked about dating, which the actress said is "one of my favorite subjects ever to dissect."
The two first chatted about dating apps, and Glaser explained that "guys do not come across great on dating apps."
The 36-year-old comedian joked about men having very few photos of themselves that "accurately represent who they are."
"I went on an app -- I think you've been on this app, too -- where every guy was a surfer, a photographer, had a dog and definitely their best friend's kid," Barrymore said. "I was like: 'Wow this is like a cookie-cutter. It's like the same thing over and over and over.'"
Her experience with the app was soured when a dating experience went poorly.
"I booked a date with one guy, finally, and then he stood me up at the exact time we were supposed to meet," Barrymore revealed. "I was like: 'Can't you be a jerk an hour before? That would have been such a time-saver.'"
She noted that being stood up by a dating app match isn't "shocking" because it "happens all the time."
"I was more miffed that it was at 3 o'clock when we were supposed to meet," said the "50 First Dates" star. "I'm like, 'Just do that at 2.'"
Glaser then said that being stood up is "just so disappointing" after spending time getting dressed and excited.
"Totally, I felt so stupid," Barrymore confessed.
While the actress never disclosed which app she was using, Glaser said she understood the star to be talking about "the celebrity dating app."
Raya is a popular dating app with celebrities and requires an application process much stricter than most apps.
Barrymore did, however, confirm that "there are big, high-power men" on the app, but she "didn't go for any of them."
"I was like: 'Oh, the comedy writer, that sounds fun,'" she said.
When Glaser suggested the date was intimidated by Barrymore, the hostess disagreed.
"I think he's just an uncourteous person who has reasons that are completely fine to him but is going about them all the wrong way," she said. "Screw that, Nikki, we got to face the facts. They're just not showing up. It may be personal, it may not be, but just whatever. Let's not fool ourselves in the middle of all of this."

BT allows mobile customers free access to BBC Bitesize content online

BBC Bitesize online lessons will be accessible for free on EE from the end of this month in the latest effort to help children continue learning from home during lockdown.
BT’s three mobile network brands – EE, BT Mobile and Plusnet Mobile – will begin zero-rating the service, meaning access to Bitesize content will not use up a customer’s data allowance.
The move comes as millions of children across the UK rely on internet-based lessons in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus, while schools only remain open to vulnerable children or those of key workers.
Other mobile networks and internet providers have also stepped up to help in recent weeks, over fears that poorer families could be deprived of their education during England’s third national lockdown.
“Supporting children and young people to continue their education is vital during this challenging time,” said Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.
“It is fantastic that BT and the BBC have joined forces to remove mobile data charges for BBC Bitesize for hundreds of thousands of families across the country.”
BT said no registration will be required, with zero-rated access to educational Bitesize content through the BBC website and Bitesize app.
It will be available to all contract and pay as you go customers of EE, BT Mobile and Plusnet Mobile in the UK.
Bitesize content on iPlayer is also included, after the BBC expanded its educational output and started broadcasting lessons on BBC Two and the CBBC channel on Monday.
“With the pandemic forcing schools to close again we should not allow a lack of digital access to further impact children’s education,” said Tim Davie, BBC director-general.
“This is why I’m delighted we have agreed this partnership with BT to remove data charges when accessing the BBC’s brilliant Bitesize content.
“The BBC will continue to do all we can to ensure every child, whatever their circumstances, can continue to access vital educational materials during this time.”
Marc Allera, chief executive of BT Group’s consumer division, added: “We want to ensure that no child is left behind in their education as a result of this pandemic, and recognise that we all have a role we can play to help families and carers continue their children’s education while schools are closed.”
BT said it plans to announce zero-rating of other popular learning portals soon

There was a time, not that long ago, when Americans expected to learn election results on Election Night. Usually, they did. Were voting machines that much more efficient way back in, say, 2012? No, they weren't. The difference was we just required most people to vote in-person back then.
In-person voting reduces fraud, and reducing fraud and the appearance of fraud used to be important to us. We wanted people to believe the results when they came in. We wanted to protect the system that made all of our good things possible. We wanted democracy to continue. But then everything changed.
The main driver of that change, they will tell you, was the coronavirus pandemic. It simply became too dangerous to show up in person to vote. But think about that for a second. If you can go to the grocery store -- and most people can and do -- then you can go to a polling place. There's no medical reason that you can't vote in person.
Almost no one in the media has ever made that point. They know that mail-in elections help Democrats, and therefore that's the whole point. When Republicans complain about it, the left doesn't answer the question. They just get hysterical and start screaming about racism.
You may be wondering what racism has to do with the potential health risks of in-person voting. We're going to let Jon Ossoff explain the answer. In a world of shallow politicians, Ossoff makes Beto O'Rourke look like Teddy Roosevelt. But he does know one thing: If you're worried about election fraud, you are a racist. Here he is Monday:
This scam will continue for as long as people keep falling for it, and they do keep falling for it. Everything Democrats don't like is Jim Crow. Just in the last year, they've told us that in-person voting, the filibuster, even mispronouncing Kamala Harris name -- a name, by the way, she can't pronounce herself -- are all vestiges of America's racist history. So what's the remedy for a history, this evil? You guessed it: More identity politics.
Republicans recently argued that thousands of Georgia voters should be excluded from participating in the election for this simple and obvious reason: Post office change-of-address records showed they had left the state, and were no longer in Georgia. Therefore, they couldn't vote in Georgia because they're not in Georgia.
That seems simple and obvious, but that standard does not meet the burden of proof in the court of U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner. Who is Leslie Abrams Gardner? She happens to be the sister of Stacey Abrams, the Democratic pretender to the governorship of Georgia. The case in question, by the way, involves a group funded by, you guessed it, Stacey Abrams.
Because this is an amazing time in our history, Gardner explained her refusal to recuse herself from the case like this: "One can only assume that the argument is something to the effect that if my sister is actively engaged in a cause, I cannot be impartial ... This argument is mere speculation."
Not surprisingly, Gardner gave her sister's organization exactly what they wanted. Therefore, thousands of people could vote Tuesday in Georgia, even if they no longer lived in Georgia. All they needed to do was identify as Georgia voters. You can change your gender, you can also change your state of residence. You just identify yourself as such. That's how identity politics works.
It goes without saying that the real identities of tonight's Democratic candidates are off limits. You can call Raphael Warnock, for example, a pastor, a Christian, a pro-choice Christian. But don't you dare mention the words he actually utters in his sermons.
And Jon Ossoff, what's his identity? It's not an easy question to answer when the sum total of your personal achievements could fit comfortably in the ashtray of a sports car. At various points, Ossoff has claimed he once worked as a senior national security staffer on Capitol Hill, which is pretty funny because, in fact, he was what is called in Washington a legislative correspondent. That job consists mostly of responding to letters from constituents. In other words, he was the mail boy.
He wasn't even the mail boy in a very impressive office. Ossoff worked for a Georgia congressman called Hank Johnson, who was easily, hands down, the single dumbest member of Congress, and that's saying a lot. Back in 2010, just in case you think we're overstating this Johnson asked a Navy admiral in a televised hearing whether the island of Guam might capsize if too many troops were moved on to a base there. Mind you, this happened before marijuana was legalized.
That moment became a blueprint for Jon Ossoff's entire career: Lean into your mediocrity. Don't deny it, embrace it. And when you're challenged, hide behind identity politics. That works. We know it does because that's all Ossoff has ever done.
In 2012, Ossoff went on Twitter and encouraged people who follow him to support one of the leading propaganda outlets for the Communist Party of China.
Here's what he wrote: "Esp. during 18th Party Congress, #follow @XHNews (Xinhua - Chinese state media)."
Most politicians might feel slightly hesitant about endorsing Chinese state run media in public, but not Jon Ossoff. If he learned anything from Hank Johnson, it's that if you're going to do it, you might as well go all in.
Last year, we learned that Ossoff's media company received thousands of dollars from a Chinese-backed media giant. Ossoff didn't even bother to claim to care about transparency. In fact, he refused to release any more financial documents related to foreign investors. But stop asking questions, America is racist.
That's the answer to everything, but it would be nice if someone disagreed with that claim, because that claim is totally false. It's poisonous and it's wrecking what has been, for a couple of hundred years now, a pretty great country. But increasingly, no one pushes back. In fact, recently, a lot of Republicans have been saying the same thing.
Last May, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., didn't bother holding hearings on election integrity or mail-in balloting. That might have been nice. No, McConnell was busy attacking police officers and eulogizing George Floyd. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, was on the street mouthing Black Lives Matter slogans on camera in a sort of Jane Fonda moment. Meanwhile, two Republican senators called for replacing Columbus Day, a day that celebrates the discovery of this country, with Juneteenth.
If Democrats win both Georgia Senate runoffs, they're not going to be too concerned about Juneteenth. They have much bigger goals in mind, like eliminating the filibuster, adding new states to the union, packing the Supreme Court, ending the independence of the judicial branch, and giving citizenship to tens of millions of illegal aliens, now known as their base.
None of that should come as a surprise, we've seen it coming for a long time. The question we need to ask right now is, why did so few Republicans do anything to stop it?

Donald Trump looking for new social media presence with Parler offline

President Donald Trump has been kicked off most mainstream social media platforms following his supporters’ siege on the US Capitol.
But it remains to be seen how fast or where, if anywhere, on the internet he will be able to reach his followers.
The far right-friendly Parler had been the leading candidate, at least until Google and Apple removed it from their app stores and Amazon booted it off its web hosting service just after midnight Pacific time early on Monday.
Parler’s chief executive said that could knock it offline for a week, though that might prove optimistic.
And even if it finds a friendlier web-hosting service, without a smartphone app, it is hard to imagine Parler gaining mainstream success.
The two-year-old magnet for the far right claims more than 12 million users, though mobile app analytics firm Sensor Tower puts the number at 10 million worldwide, with eight million in the US.
That was a fraction of the 89 million followers Mr Trump had on Twitter.
Still, Parler might be attractive to Mr Trump since it was where his sons Eric and Don Jr are already active.
Parler hit headwinds, though, on Friday as Google yanked its smartphone app from its app store for allowing postings that seek “to incite ongoing violence in the US”.
Apple followed suit on Saturday evening after giving Parler 24 hours to address complaints it was being used to “plan and facilitate yet further illegal and dangerous activities”.
Public safety issues will need to be resolved before it is restored, Apple said.
A message seeking comment from Parler was sent on Sunday on whether the company plans to change its policies and enforcement around these issues.
Amazon struck another blow on Saturday, informing Parler it would need to look for a new web-hosting service effective midnight on Sunday.
It reminded Parler in a letter, first reported by Buzzfeed, that it had informed it in the past few weeks of 98 examples of posts “that clearly encourage and incite violence” and said the platform “poses a very real risk to public safety”.
Parler chief executive John Matze decried the punishments as “a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the marketplace. We were too successful too fast”, he said in a Saturday night post, saying it was possible Parler would be unavailable for up to a week “as we rebuild from scratch”.
“Every vendor, from text message services, to e-mail providers, to our lawyers all ditched us too on the same day,” Mr Matze said on Sunday on Fox New Channel’s Sunday Morning Futures.
He said while the company is trying to get back online as quickly as possible, it is “having a lot of trouble, because every vendor we talk to says they won’t work with us, because, if Apple doesn’t approve and Google doesn’t approve, they won’t”.
Losing access to the app stores of Google and Apple — whose operating systems power hundreds of millions of smartphones — severely limits Parler’s reach, though it had continued to be accessible via web browser.
Losing Amazon Web Services means Parler needs to scramble to find another web host, in addition to the re-engineering.
Mr Trump may also launch his own platform.
But that will not happen overnight, and free speech experts anticipate growing pressure on all social media platforms to curb incendiary speech as Americans take stock of Wednesday’s violent takeover of the US Capitol by a Trump-incited mob.
While initially arguing their need to be neutral on speech, Twitter and Facebook gradually yielded to public pressure drawing the line especially when the so-called Plandemic video emerged early in the coronavirus pandemic urging people not to wear masks, noted civic media professor Ethan Zuckerman of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst.
Mr Zuckerman expects the Trump de-platforming may spur important online shifts.
First, there may be an accelerated splintering of the social media world along ideological lines.
“Trump will pull a lot of audience wherever he goes,” he said.
That could mean more platforms with smaller, more ideologically isolated audiences.

SPFL suspends League One and below but Premiership and Championship...

The Scottish Football Association board has suspended professional football beneath SPFL Championship level for three weeks due to the escalating coronavirus situation.
The Scottish Premiership will be exempt from the suspension, provided it continues to adhere to the stringent testing protocols, and the Championship will also be able to continue provided it commences weekly PCR testing.
Rod Petrie, Scottish FA president, said: “The Scottish FA is well aware of the efforts all clubs take to comply with the exacting protocols that were conditional on elite football being given an exemption to continue amid the pandemic.
“Nonetheless the continuation of football at all levels has weighed increasingly heavy on me as president, my colleagues on the board and the Joint Response Group as we have watched the new strain of the virus spread rapidly.
“While the national sport has been afforded the privilege of elite sporting exemption, the risk of mass transportation of untested, largely part-time players is something that cannot be sustained as the cases continue to rise and available hospital beds become increasingly scarce.
“After discussions with the SPFL, the Premiership and Championship will continue on the proviso that both adhere to the existing testing regime.
“The vast majority of teams in those divisions are full-time professional clubs and so the risk of transmission remains manageably low.
“The cost implications to lower-division clubs was one factor but so too the realisation that many – with some notable exceptions – consist of part-time players who are either prevented from working due to the virus or have to work.
“In either case, the risk is currently too great amid the developing nationwide spread of the virus.”
The impacted leagues are: SPFL League One, SPFL League Two, Scottish Women’s Football Premier Leagues One and Two, Highland League, Lowland League, East, West and South of Scotland Leagues, Scottish Junior FA Leagues and the North Caledonian League.
Petrie said: “Much has been said of football’s relationship with the Scottish Government during the pandemic. As president of the Scottish FA and chair of the Joint Response Group, I am grateful for the clinical expertise provided by government specifically to football and for the timely award of £30m in grant and loan funding for the game.
“We reiterate our commitment to playing our part in the collective effort to eradicate the virus.”

Taking a closer look at Tottenham youngster Alfie Devine

Daily Mail

Alfie Devine earned a place in Tottenham’s record books when he became the club’s youngest ever player and goalscorer in the 5-0 win at Marine.
The midfielder came on at half-time and scored his side’s fifth goal aged just 16 years and 163 days.
Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at the teenage star.
There is perhaps no surprise Devine is making his way towards the top as he comes from a sporting family. His dad Sean made 39 appearances for rugby league club St Helens between 1986 and 1990, while his cousin Kalan is also on the club’s scholarship programme.
Born on August 1 2004, Devine has had a prominent rise to the top. Starting out at Liverpool, he moved to Wigan aged 11 where his potential was quickly noticed. He first caught Spurs’ attention with a strong performance in the Latics’ FA Youth Cup victory over the Premier League side and not long after they made their move. He was already training with the Latics’ first team when Spurs paid in the region of £300,000 to get him to London.
If Devine had any doubts about if he was making the right decision about his future, then they will have disappeared when Jose Mourinho turned up at his medical to meet him. It was clear that he was thought highly of, so much so that Mourinho used Devine in his pre-season plans, giving him playing time in a friendly win against Ipswich.
It did not take long for the midfielder to be moved up an age group from the Under-18s to the Under-23s and he proved he was not going to be over-awed as he hit the headlines in a game with Chelsea. Devine went in strongly on former England international Danny Drinkwater and the pair clashed afterwards, both receiving a red card. Mourinho seemed impressed enough to include him in some first-team training sessions not long after.
Devine was rewarded for his impressive progression when Mourinho sent him on at half-time against the FA Cup minnows, becoming the club’s youngest-ever player. Spurs were 4-0 up so had little to worry about, but the midfielder again looked at home in the men’s game and was comfortable on the ball and strong in the challenge. It took only 15 minutes for his dream day to get even better as he found the net with a low shot from the edge of the box to enter another page of the record books.
Mourinho probably cannot help but feel a little bit old at seeing Devine in action. After all, the Portuguese was two months into his love affair with English football and just about to lead Chelsea to a first Premier League title when Devine was born. Arsenal were the defending champions having gone the previous season unbeaten, while Rafael Benitez had just been appointed Liverpool manager.
Spurs also had a new manager following the appointment of Jacques Santini, who had taken France to the Euro 2004 quarter-final in the summer. Their team was made up by the likes of Ledley King, who is now Mourinho’s first-team coach, Paul Robinson, Jermaine Defoe and Jamie Redknapp. Just six games into Santini’s spell he took his side to Mourinho’s Stamford Bridge and his defensive set-up in a 0-0 draw saw the Portuguese coin the now famous “park the bus” phrase.

Investing in `natural capital´ can drive the economy - Charles

The Prince of Wales has said investment in “natural capital” should be the “engine of our economy” ahead of the launch of his ambitious Earth Charter.
At a global environmental summit, Charles will urge industry and business leaders to sign up to his 10-year project that puts “nature, people and planet at the heart of global value creation” and invest 10 billion dollars (£7.3 billion) in “natural capital”.
Called Terra Carta, or Earth Charter, the initiative has parallels with the Magna Carta – the touchstone for human rights and modern democracy – and aims to lay out a “recovery plan” towards sustainability that gives fundamental rights and value to nature.
Speaking via video link ahead of the launch, the prince told delegates at the One Planet Summit, being staged in Paris: “The interdependence between human health and planetary health has never been more clear.
“For so many of the problems we face, nature, with the benefit of billions of years of evolution, has already provided us with the solutions.
“As we urgently seek to rescue the situation, we must now look to invest in natural capital as the engine of our economy.”
He went on to say: “With growing interest in natural capital as an investment theme, the financial sector has come to see that natural capital can play a decisive role in addressing climate change, as well as supporting the Sustainable Development Goals.”
The prince spoke during an investment forum for the Great Green Wall – an Africa-led initiative to combat desertification by creating a mosaic of green and productive landscapes across the entire width of north Africa.
Charles, who co-hosted the forum, said about the African project: “The initiative offers a precious opportunity to restore land and biodiversity, while also transforming lives and livelihoods through education, employment and enterprise creation. It can also offer a model for the vital role of sustainable value chains and carbon markets.”
France’s President Emmanuel Macron attended the session and is co-hosting the summit, with UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres and president of the World Bank Group David Malpass, convened under the theme “Let’s act together for nature!”.
In the afternoon, Charles will formally launch his Terra Carta in a speech to heads of state and government, leaders of international organisations, financial institutions, companies and NGOs.
Speaking virtually, the prince will say: “Today, I am making an urgent appeal to leaders, from all sectors and from around the world… to give their support to this Terra Carta – to bring prosperity into harmony with nature, people and planet over the coming decade.
“I can only encourage, in particular, those in industry and finance to provide practical leadership to this common project, as only they are able to mobilise the innovation, scale and resources that are required to transform our global economy.”
Charles’ Sustainable Markets Initiative – launched last year to help accelerate the world’s transition to a sustainable future – created the charter and a Natural Capital Investment Alliance.
The alliance aims to encourage 10 billion dollars worth of commitments from founding Terra Carta supporters by 2022, which will be invested in companies and projects providing solutions to preserve and restore natural capital – renewable and non-renewable resources such as clean air and water and fertile soils.
Initiatives could include reforestation or landscape restoration, as a means to reduce emissions, restore biodiversity, and boost sustainable economic growth and job creation.
Organisations supporting the project include Bank of America, AstraZeneca, HSBC, Heathrow Airport and BP.
The prince will go on to say: “The Terra Carta offers the basis of a recovery plan that puts nature, people and planet at the heart of global value creation – one that will harness the precious, irreplaceable power of nature combined with the transformative innovation and resources of the private sector.”
Charles will highlight how nations have mobilised to combat coronavirus as an example of what can be achieved if there is a will.
The charter features almost 100 recommendations for the private sector that have been drawn from the business world following months of discussions, convened by the prince, with leaders from industry, governments, the investor community and philanthropy.
Charles’ project is the culmination of 50 years of campaigning in support of the environment and comes at a pivotal moment, with the pandemic forcing governments and the private and public sectors to re-examine their practices and relationship with the planet.

Former Australia captain Steve Smith was branded “childish” after an incident during the final day of their drawn third Test against India in Sydney.
With India battling to save the match, Smith was filmed appearing to scuff away the guard mark made on the crease by Rishabh Pant – whose score of 97 helped his side to a memorable draw.
Smith, who was named man of the match after scores of 131 and 81, came in for criticism from former players from across the world on social media.
Former India great Virender Sehwag wrote on Twitter: “Tried all tricks including Steve Smith trying to remove Pant’s batting guard marks from the crease.”
And condemnation of the incident soon followed, with former England player and coach turned commentator David Lloyd retweeting the video with the words “how childish”.
Former England captain Michael Vaughan added: “This is very very poor from Steve smith!!”
Smith was banned for 12 months in 2018 for his role, when Australian captain, in the ball-tampering scandal during the third Test against South Africa in Newlands.

The report increased pressure on clothing retailers to remove Xinjiang cotton from their supply chains.
M&S uses around 40,000 tonnes of lint cotton each year from various sources.
The call to action comes from a coalition of civil society organisations and labour unions who want to end abuses against Uighur people.
The coalition said it is almost certain that any brand currently sourcing apparel, textiles, yarn or cotton from the region is profiting from human rights violations, including forced labour.
Marks & Spencer sources its cotton through businesses that are accredited with the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), a not-for-profit organisation that focuses on sustainable production.
In March last year, BCI suspended its activities in Xinjiang, and as a result, there is no new licensed BCI cotton coming from the region or in M&S products.
Nevertheless, M&S said it was important to sign on to the call to action to encourage other companies to examine their supply chain.
"When it comes to sustainable and ethical clothing, we can only achieve real change at scale by working with others," said Richard Price, the managing director of M&S Clothing & Home.
Anti-Slavery International welcomed the move and encouraged other retailers to follow suit.
"The Call to Action sets out a clear path of action for brands to follow in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and we call upon other major brands to follow suit with M&S and commit to the Call to Action urgently," the organisation's chief executive Jasmine O'Connor said in a statement.
Xinjiang province accounts for roughly 20% of the world's cotton production.
Cotton production isn't the only human rights issue that has been documented in Xinjiang province.
Alongside a large network of detention camps, in which more than a million are thought to have been detained, allegations that minority groups are being coerced into working in textile factories have already been well documented.
The Chinese government has long denied the claims, insisting that the camps are "vocational training schools" and the factories are part of a massive, and voluntary, "poverty alleviation" scheme.

Private clinics start ordering COVID-19 jabs in Brazil

As countries around the world push forwards with their immunisation campaigns, Brazil’s health ministry has yet to deliver details of its national vaccination plan. So far, only the state of São Paulo has given a date to start inoculating its residents: January 25.
Brazil is home to the most severe COVID-19 outbreak in Latin America. The country trails only the US as a global virus hotspot with 8 million cases registered and over 200,000 deaths.
As the rest of the world starts to picture what life will be like once the pandemic is over with the start of vaccination campaigns, Brazilians have yet to be informed about when they will get a jab - and how.
The country’s government has been slow in signing COVID-19 vaccine production and sale deals. Two world-renowned research institutes (Fiocruz and Butantan) – as well as state governors (São Paulo’s Joao Doria) – have filled that void.
Brazil has one of the best immunisation programmes in the world and a robust pharmaceutical manufacturing capacity. In the past, it has led the way in containing outbreaks of yellow fever, measles, and other pathogens. So, many had high hopes that Brazilians could be among the first in the world to be inoculated.
But political disputes, chaotic planning and a nascent anti-vaccine movement have left the nation with no idea of when they might get relief from the virus.
Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro, who tested positive for COVID-19 - twice - last year, has called it a "measly flu" and dismissed calls for quarantines and lockdowns. Bolsonaro also told his supporters a coronavirus vaccine could kill or disable them, without offering evidence.
"My feeling is that of disgust. The president of the republic is an example for millions of people. Especially in an era of social media where his words spread so quickly. And even if he says these are 'only' his opinions, as an authority, he must be conscious of his role," said Dr Alexandre Telles, president of the Union of Doctors of Rio de Janeiro.
"It’s like this is a tug of war. We see the president in denial, dismissing the lives of millions of people who ended up dying, the lives of millions of Brazilians who are now in grief because they lost loved ones. We feel disgusted," said Telles.
"It’s disrespectful that the president has an attitude like this one in the midst of this pandemic. We hoped for a minimum of commitment. All we got is an omission. He didn’t negotiate the vaccines. There aren’t even enough syringes or needles in the country".
Last week, Bolsonaro tweeted news that the Ministry of Health had suspended the purchases of syringes because of the high prices asked by manufacturers. In the tweet, the president also said that states and municipalities had sufficient stock to begin vaccination against COVID-19.
Dr Telles also said the rise in the number of new cases of COVID-19 is already being felt in hospitals in Rio de Janeiro - and around the country, especially since “end-of-year parties where people gathered and didn’t follow social distancing rules”.
"We had a time in Rio where we had over 500 people waiting for hospital beds. We’re going back to that," he added.
"Brazil was never able to flatten any curve. Not even the first curve. And because lockdown measures - which had the support of institutions such as the Fiocruz- were never adopted, we are very worried. We can’t find it normal that 1,000 people die every day. We can’t find it normal that there are 200 people waiting for a bed in a hospital in Rio de Janeiro. For me that already is a failure," Telles told Euronews.
The coronavirus pandemic has brought Brazil’s public health system to its knees.
As the number of cases rose again this month, leaving hospitals in several cities running low on beds for critically ill patients, pressure from increasingly concerned regional authorities mounted on the federal government.
According to Gonzalo Vecina, the co-founder of Brazil’s Health Regulatory Agency, the country’s health ministry - currently run by an army general with no medical experience - "doesn’t have a concrete plan to vaccinate the Brazilian population". Vecina says many local governments have asked what they should tell their constituents about such a critical vaccine.
The state of São Paulo took the lead and negotiated its own deal with China’s Sinovac.
The CoronaVac vaccine will start being distributed to the 46 million residents of Brazil's most populous and affluent state from January 25. The first group to be vaccinated will include healthcare workers, indigenous people, and quilombolas communities. Elderly people aged 75 and over will be vaccinated from February 8.
And on Friday, the Brazilian health minister finally announced the government had agreed to buy up to 100 million doses of CoronaVac. But he hasn’t given set a date to start inoculating people yet.
While millions of Brazilians wait, those with money to spare may be able to get their hands in a dose faster than the rest. Private clinics are reported to have started closing their own deals abroad.
"It may look like good intentions, but they are commercial intentions. Whoever is doing this is trying to sell vaccines, and make money in the process," said Vecina.
"We are a capitalist economy and making money is not forbidden. However, in this capitalist economy, there is a federal law - the Constitution - that says that 'health is a right of the people and the obligation of the state,' something to be achieved through public policies. At this moment we are discussing passing people with money in front of those who don’t have it. In the midst of a global pandemic, this is immoral," he said.
Immoral, and bad news for Brazil’s healthcare personnel who say they are bracing for a difficult few more weeks - or even months.
"The word that defines many colleagues today is 'exhaustion'. Many lost loved ones, many fell ill... many of our colleagues died. And when we lack medicine, or when we lack the tools to provide adequate care to our patients…" Vecina told Euronews.
"During the pandemic, we were faced with the lack of antibiotics, lack of anesthetic so that we could carry on certain procedures… sedatives for patients that are placed in respirators. And that’s extremely frustrating. We were trained to give the best possible treatment to our patients - we want the best. We can’t accept that what is happening here is normal".

President-elect Joe Biden announced he has chosen veteran diplomat William Burns to be his CIA director.
A former ambassador to Russia and Jordan, Mr Burns, 64, had a 33-year career at the US State Department under both Republican and Democratic presidents.
He rose through the ranks of the diplomatic corps to become deputy secretary of state before retiring in 2014 to run the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace.
Amid tumult in the State Department after Donald Trump took office in 2017, Mr Burns held his tongue until last year when he began writing highly critical pieces of the Trump administration’s policies in Foreign Affairs and other publications.
“Bill Burns is an exemplary diplomat with decades of experience on the world stage keeping our people and our country safe and secure,” Mr Biden said.
“He shares my profound belief that intelligence must be apolitical and that the dedicated intelligence professionals serving our nation deserve our gratitude and respect.
“Ambassador Burns will bring the knowledge, judgment, and perspective we need to prevent and confront threats before they can reach our shores.
“The American people will sleep soundly with him as our next CIA director.”
Mr Burns was said to have been a candidate to be Mr Biden’s secretary of state.
Mr Biden chose Anthony Blinken instead.
Mr Burns has received three Presidential Distinguished Service Awards and the highest civilian honours from the Pentagon and the US intelligence community.
He has doctoral degrees in international relations from Oxford University, where he studied as a Marshall Scholar.

藤井聡太二冠（18）＝王位・棋聖＝は6日、2021年の初陣となる第79期順位戦B級2組9回戦・中村修九段（58）戦に登場した。対局は大阪市福島区の関西将棋会館で午前10時から始まっている。持ち時間は各6時間（チェスクロック使用）。先後はあらかじめ決められており、中村九段の先手。盤上は相居飛車の駒組みが続いている。
10戦して上位3人がB級1組に昇級できる同2組は、藤井二冠が7連勝（抜け番1回）でトップを快走しており、これを横山泰明七段（40）、佐々木勇気七段（26）が6勝1敗、中村九段が6勝2敗、中田宏樹八段（56）、大石直嗣七段（31）が5勝2敗で追っている。藤井二冠は本局を勝つと、2敗勢の勝敗次第で昇級が決まる可能性がある。
中村九段とは2度目の対戦。前回は昨年1月7日の第28期銀河戦本戦トーナメント7回戦で雁木（がんぎ）戦を制していた。
最年少名人記録は谷川浩司九段（58）が持つ21歳2カ月。藤井二冠にはこれを上回るチャンスが残されている。それにはA級までノンストップで駆け上がり、A級1期目で挑戦権を得て奪取する必要がある。

プロ野球現役復帰に挑んだ新庄剛志氏（４８）が６日、自身のインスタグラムを更新。大晦日にTKOで防衛に成功したWBO世界スーパーフライ級王者、井岡一翔の左腕のタトゥーが露出していた問題に関し、JBC(日本ボクシングコミッション)が処分を下す方針を固めたことに疑問を投げかけた。
【写真３枚】物議を呼んでいる井岡の「タトゥー」 「井岡君のタトゥ－がルール違反⁉️熱い戦いをしてる時、ファンが感動して観てる時にタトゥの事が気になりますか？ しかも試合後に⁇ タトゥ－には興味はないけど、なんだこの日本の古臭い考え〜 考え方をアップデートして行こうぜ」
新庄氏はさらに自身の経験を踏まえて持論を展開。「僕も昔 茶髪にして球団、監督から黒にして来いと言われ 髪の色で野球するんですか⁇ って反発していたのを思い出す」とつづり、さらに言葉を続けた。「人がやらない事 人に僻まれる事をやって、自分にプレッシャーをかけしっかり努力し、自分に勝ち何十年もプロの世界でやれた事に誇りを持っている！！トップアスリートは誰もがその気持ちの持ち主だ」
新庄氏の見解に対してフォロワーから次々とコメントが殺到。「日本のお偉いさんは、頭の堅いお方が多すぎる」「スポーツでも音楽でも学校の先生も柔軟な考え方をする人増えて欲しいな」「日本ではルール違反なのでペナルティなんですよね」などの声が寄せられた。
なお、JBCルールでは「入れ墨など観客に不快の念を与える風体の者」は試合に出場できないことになっており、そのルールに抵触したもの。週明けにも倫理委員会が開かれ処分内容が決定する。

Vücutta bulunan organların hepsinin farklı bir görevi ve yapısı vardır. Bu yapılar hücrelerden oluşmaktadır. Hücre yapılarından birisi de akyuvarlardır. Akyuvarlar kanda bulunmakta olan hücre yapılarıdır. Akyuvarların görevi ise; vücuda giren mikroplar ve bakterilerle savaşarak onları yok etmeye çalışmaktır. Akyuvarlar hastalıklardan koruyan yapı hücreleri diye de adlandırılabilir.
Akyuvarlar vücuda giren zararlı bakterileri bilerek onları yok etmek üzere ilerlemeye başlar. Bakteriye ulaştığında etrafını sararak onu sindirir ve yok eder. Vücuda giren bakteri sayısının fazla olması akyuvar sayısının da savunma nedeniyle artışa geçmesine neden olacaktır. Akyuvarlar kemik iliğinde üreme yaparlar.
Kanda bulunan akyuvarların yanında ayrıca alyuvarlarda vardır. Akyuvar sayısı alyuvarlardan daha az bulunur. Ortalama 800 alyuvara karşı bir akyuvar bulunmaktadır. Akyuvar hücrelerinin bazıları alyuvarlardan büyük olmaktadır yani belli büyüklükleri ve bir tanımı söz konusu değildir. Akyuvar hücreleri şekil değiştirme sağlayarak hareket etmektedirler.
Akyuvar Çeşitleri Nelerdir?
Vücutta oluşan hastalıklar ve enfeksiyonlarla savaş veren akyuvarlar; yapıları ve görevleri itibariyle bazı çeşitlere ayrılırlar.
Monositler: Monosit çekirdekleri böbrek şeklinde veya fasulye tanesi şeklinde olan bu tür akyuvarlar, hücrelerde mikroplarla savaşma görevini yaparlar.
Granülositler: Bunların çekirdekleri tanecikli bir yapıya sahip olurlar ve granüsitlerin görevi ise; mikropları yutmaktır.
Lenfositler ve Plazma Hücreleri: bu çeşitte olan akyuvarların görevi dolaylı olarak hastalıklardan korumayı sağlamaktır. Hastalıklardan korumak üzere antikor üretiminde bulunurlar.
Akyuvarlar savaşçı yapıda olmaları nedeni ile; vücutta her hangi bir yerde hasar oluşması halinde oraya giderler. Bu hasardan içeri giren mikroplara saldırarak, yok etmeye çalışırlar. Bu sırada akyuvarların da ölme riskleri bulunmaktadır. Bazı mikroplar akyuvarların ölmesini sağlar. Eğer bir antikor ölürse yerine yenisi yapılanmaktadır. Hasar olan kısmın çevresinde olan antikor hücreleri yaranın içerisindeki bakteri ve ölü hücreleri de alarak dışarı atılırlar. Bu durum iltihaplanma olarak adlandırılır.
Vücuda zarar veren bakterilerle savaşan antikorlar; normal değerlerde 1 milimetreküp kanda 4 ile 10 bin kadar bir sayıda bulunurlar. Bakteri ya da mikrop girmesi ile bu sayı daha da çok artar. 30 ile 50 bin sayısını bulmaktadırlar. Bu sayının değişimi mikrobun türüne göre değişim sağlamaktadır. Strepkokok, stafilakok ve gonokok adlı mikropların olması halinde akyuvar sayısı artışı çok daha fazla ortaya çıkmaktadır. Özellikle lösemi hastalığında bu sayı oldukça yüksek oranlarda oluşmaktadır. Bu durumda bütün kemiği sararak istila ederler; ancak akyuvarlar bu durumda kanser hücresi özelliğini alması nedeniyle görevlerinde değişiklik olur savaşmak yerine saldırıya geçerler.
Bazı nedenlerden ötürü akyuvar sayısı azalma göstermektedir. Leukepeni adı verilen akyuvar azalması bazı hastalıkların etkisiyle ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu hastalıklar; bazı lösemi çeşitleri, anemi durumu, habis hastalıkları ve bazı kullanılan antibiyotikler nedeni ile akyuvar azalması ortaya çıkmaktadır.

Three-quarters of COVID-19 patients followed after being discharged from a hospital in Wuhan had more than one symptom six months later, a Chinese study has revealed.
The study of nearly 2,000 patients, released last week in The Lancet,32656-8/fulltext) is helping to unveil the long-term consequences of the virus that first emerged in December 2019 and has since travelled the globe killing 1.9 million.
The most common symptoms six months after hospitalisation were fatigue or muscle weakness and sleep difficulties, the study authors said, with 76% of patients reported at least one symptom at 6 months after symptom onset.
Fatigue or muscle weakness was reported in 63% of patients whereas sleep difficulties were reported in 23% of study participants. Anxiety or depression was reported among 23% of patients evaluated in the study.
The study included 1,733 patients from the Jin Yin-tan Hospital in Wuhan and was completed between June and September 2020.
A total of 2,469 patients with COVID-19 were discharged from that hospital between Jan 7, and May 29, 2020, but some patients were not included.
Thirty-three patients were not included in the study because they died after being discharged due to "exacerbation of underlying pulmonary, heart, and kidney disease".
Three patients developed strokes and one patient had a blood clot in their lung.
The median age of participants in the study was 57 and the most common comorbidity was hypertension followed by diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
The Chinese study found that those who were more severely ill during their hospital stay had more severe lung impairment and "abnormal chest imaging".
Many researchers have been concerned about the long term consequences of COVID-19, with even some patients with more mild cases stating that they have suffered symptoms of the virus for months as well.
A recent UK-US survey of patients suffering from long-term symptoms of COVID-19, dubbed 'Long Covid' said that most patients had not returned to previous levels of work after six months and that many had still not recovered seven months after infection.
In that study, which has not yet been peer-reviewed and was published on a pre-print server, 205 symptoms in 10 organ systems were recorded.
Seventy-eight per cent of those affected were women and just 8% had been hospitalised.
About 96% of them reported symptoms lasting beyond 90 days.

名古屋グランパスは6日、ブラジル人MFシミッチ（27）が、川崎に完全移籍すると発表した。
シミッチは、2019年にポルトガル1部・リオ・アベから加入。視野が広く、足元の技術に優れたボランチとして同年に32試合2得点をマークした。来日2年目は24試合（1得点）に出場したものの、MF米本、稲垣がボランチの定位置を獲得し、出場時間を大きく減らしていた。
シミッチはグランパスを通じ「厳しい一年でしたが、最後まで我々と一緒に戦ってくれ、最高な力になりました、どこへ行ってもグランパスのことを心から応援します。本当にありがとうございました」とコメントした。
