https://www.seattlepi.com/sports/article/Matthews-nets-51st-goal-to-help-Toronto-defeat-17053837.php | PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Auston Matthews scored his NHL-leading 51st goal, Morgan Rielly had a goal and two assists, and the Toronto Maple Leafs won their fourth straight with a 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night.
John Tavares, Wayne Simmonds, Timothy Liljegren and Pierre Engvall also scored for the Maple Leafs, who have netted 24 goals during their streak.
Ivan Provorov had two goals and an assist and Kevin Hayes also scored for the Flyers, who have lost five of six. Philadelphia entered tied for last with New Jersey in the Metropolitan Division.
Toronto overcame a slow start.
“Not a very good hockey game by us,” Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said. “Maybe we showed up for an easy game and they didn’t give it to us. So we looked bad for a while.”
The Flyers scratched defenseman Keith Yandle, ending the NHL’s Iron Man record for consecutive games played at 989.
Matthews put Toronto ahead 3-2 with 12:19 remaining to pull within four goals of passing Rick Vaive for the club’s all-time single-season goals record. Vaive netted 54 in the 1981-82 season.
“Sometimes you have to grind these games out,” Matthews said.
Mitchell Marner got Flyers goalie Carter Hart to commit to playing the shot, and then quickly skated around the net and passed in front to Matthews, who fired into the vacated net.
“I just tried to get in a spot where he could give it to me and he made a beautiful pass,” said Matthews, who has a two-goal league lead over Edmonton Oiler Leon Draisaitl (the Oilers didn't play Saturday).
Matthews’ tally began a frenetic stretch of five goals in the span of about eight minutes. Engvall’s short-handed goal gave the Leafs a two-goal lead with 8:17 remaining before Provorov’s second of the night on a long slap shot pulled the Flyers within 4-3 with 7:37 left. Rielly all but iced the game with a goal from a sharp angle with 6:13 to play.
“We bent and we broke a little bit there in the third period,” Flyers interim coach Mike Yeo said. “We made more mistakes in the third period than they did. They have a lot of skill and they capitalized.”
The Maple Leafs opened a four-game trip by improving to 19-12-3 away from Toronto.
STREAK SNAPPED
Yandle, 35, started his streak on March 26, 2009, with Phoenix. He passed retired center Doug Jarvis for the mark of 965 games on Jan. 25 against the Islanders. Yandle was a healthy scratch.
“We’re at the point in the season where as an organization it’s important we get some young players in,” Yeo said before the game. “We have to have an eye on the future and what’s coming down the road. We have to give some new guys an opportunity.”
Rookie defenseman Ronnie Attard made his NHL debut for Philadelphia.
Yandle has one goal and 15 assists in 67 games.
“It’s kind of been one of those things toward the end of the year when you’re signing young guys and getting free agents out of college, they’re going to give them a chance to play,” Yandle said before the game. “It’s tough to have a bad day in the NHL. But getting the news you’re not playing is not what you want to hear.”
Arizona Coyotes forward Phil Kessel now has the longest active streak at 968 consecutive games.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Maple Leafs: D Ilya Lyubushkin returned to the lineup after missing Thursday’s 7-3 home win over Winnipeg with an upper body injury. … G Jack Campbell was back in net for the first time since March 8 due to a rib injury. He made 29 saves.
Flyers: Hart also returned to the net after sitting for two games with an undisclosed injury and stopped 22 shots. … C Scott Laughton missed his 11th straight contest due to a concussion suffered on March 10. Laughton has been cleared to resume skating. … C Nate Thompson played for the first time since Nov. 26 due to shoulder surgery.

According to the NYPD, around 7:05 p.m. Tuesday, a man approached another 46-year-old man on the staircase inside the the 34 Street and Penn Station 1 train subway station, displayed a machete, and subsequently struck him on the head with it.
The 46-year-old man suffered a severe laceration, police said. EMS responded and transported the victim to an area hospital where he was treated. His condition is unknown.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

In February, Mayor Eric Adams announced that an aggressive effort would be put underway to make the city's subways feel safer by sending teams of officers into stations and trains, along with social workers to connect homeless people with shelters, food banks, and other services.

Adams said the city must tackle crime but also perceptions that make the city and subway feel unsafe. He's cited people sleeping or acting aggressively on trains as something that creates a general feeling of disorder. |
https://regina.ctvnews.ca/volunteers-work-to-clean-up-streets-around-heritage-1.5846080 | Volunteers work to clean up streets around Heritage
A group from the Heritage neighborhood spent a lunch hour this week cleaning up streets and alleys.
The volunteers quickly filled their truck and had some added help from a passing city crew.
“Without the city jumping in, we would have had more garbage than what we have there,” said Shylo Stevenson, one of the volunteers.
Lots of people pitched in to fill trash containers.
“I went to Broad St. and back with a garbage can. This one. I took care of that one,” said Darren Sangwais, another one of the volunteers.
Litter is always a problem when the snow melts and exposes garbage that has accumulated over the winter months. It’s far more pronounced in the inner city.
“The alleys are just such a mess right now,” explained volunteer Leah Kleisinger. “People don’t have homes so they are digging through garbage to find stuff that can help them live their lives.”
The most worrying part of the cleanup are the needles that have been discarded improperly.
“It’s definitely important, kids use the park and we don’t want kids playing with needles and stuff like that," Justin Martineau, another volunteer explained. "So it’s good to get out there and get it picked up now that the snow is melted.”
This cleanup is only the beginning as other neighborhood cleanup days are planned to ensure Regina’s inner city is attractive and safe for this upcoming summer season.

Board chair says community deserves a clean neighbourhood
A small team of four gather on a Thursday afternoon, picking up loose garbage, needles and a discarded couch littering an alley in North Central.
White Pony Lodge is known for its safety patrols, needle-pick-ups and meal programs. Now the Regina non-profit community organization has started a spring clean up pilot project that runs Thursday evenings in the North Central neighbourhood.
"When you're walking around and you see a bunch of garbage, it's pretty gross," says Leah O'Malley, a volunteer for the clean-up and the board chair for the organization.
"When you think about people and animals having to deal with that [garbage], it really, really pulls on you that this is a very human problem, and so humans have to come up with a solution for it."
Garbage littering Heritage and North Central has been raised as an issue in Regina, with city council passing a clean communities motion that will increase city-led litter pickups and also includes stricter enforcement for illegal dumping, excessive litter and unsightly yards.
O'Malley says she wants people who live in North Central to know it's a community worth caring about.
"We all deserve a great community atmosphere, and part of that is helping clean up," she says, explaining the group targets alleys that have a lot of garbage piling up, getting garbage in bins and ensuring the bins are pulled out and ready for pickup.
Some passersby see O'Malley and her fellow volunteers picking up trash and stop to ask about their work.
"There's young kids that are playing around in the alley, that gotta play around this. And how many people that are parents care about it?" one man says, looking at the piles of garbage.
O'Malley agrees with him.
"We want people to see that we care, and there are people who care. I live down here, too," O'Malley tells him.
I think if we all lead by example as much as possible, then we're going to start changing the way that people react to things, and also maybe the way that kids look at their own neighborhood.- Leah O'Malley
While recent city council meetings have included discussion on whether all city neighbourhoods should get extended litter pickups in the spring and fall, O'Malley says she feels some neighbourhoods may need special solutions. For instance, households with more people living in them may generate more trash and struggle to keep up with their current garbage pickup schedules.
"I couldn't say I know how to fix this. I mean, we don't know how to fix it," she says, but adds that White Pony volunteers are focusing on the small contributions they can make as individuals. The group is starting small, but hopes others will join them in volunteering to clean up Regina's most littered alleys.
"I think if we all lead by example as much as possible, then we're going to start changing the way that people react to things, and also maybe the way that kids look at their own neighborhood."

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/lifestyle/3163715/miley-cyrus-says-catching-covid-19-on-world-tour-was-definitely-worth-it/ | Miley Cyrus has revealed she has tested positive for Covid-19 after a string of international tour dates, but says it was “definitely worth it”.
The singer admitted that meeting “hundreds of fans a day” had made the chances of catching the virus “pretty high” as she shared the news on Twitter.
Cyrus has recently performed at venues across South America, including Chile, Argentina Brazil ahead of the launch of her new album, ATTENTION: MILEY LIVE, which dropped on Friday.
“Traveling (sic) around the world, playin (sic) for a 100,000 people a night & meeting hundreds of fans a day the chances of getting Covid are pretty high,” she wrote online.
“I have Covid now but it was definitely worth it… I am feeling fine so don’t worry about me!”
She said the positive test meant she could no longer attend a charity event for the organisation Janie’s Fund, and apologised to its founder Steven Tyler.
Covid-19 was not the only danger Cyrus faced on tour, previously revealing her plane had been struck by lightning on the way to the Asuncionico festival in Paraguay.
The aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing and the festival was later cancelled due to extreme weather conditions.
She was also due to feature on the bill at the Estereo Picnic festival, alongside the Foo Fighters.
Following the death of Taylor Hawkins, she dedicated her show to the drummer and shared memories of him on social media. | 0 | 64,660 | 0 | https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/entertainment/music/4125473/miley-cyrus-says-catching-covid-19-on-world-tour-was-definitely-worth-it/ | 2022-04-03 02:39:49+00:00 | Miley Cyrus has revealed she has tested positive for Covid-19 after a string of international tour dates, but says it was “definitely worth it”.

Norfolk police were called to MacArthur Center around 6:25 p.m., the department said in a news release. The women, who were shot in their ankles, were taken to a hospital with injuries that weren’t believed to be life-threatening.
Police Chief Larry Boone told news outlets that the shooting was prompted by an argument over money, and that he believed the male victim and the suspect were related. Boone said he didn’t know if the two women had any relationship to the shooter or the man who was killed.
The the victims’ names weren’t immediately released.
Several area roads were blocked off as authorities investigated. Police shared photos later Saturday night of a suspect and a person of interest, asking for the public’s help in identifying them.
The shooting happened on the same day as the funeral for 25-year-old Virginian-Pilot reporter Sierra Jenkins, who was one of two people killed less than two blocks from the shopping center on March. 19. Authorities say Jenkins was caught in a crossfire as she was leaving a bar. | 0 | 5,481 | 0 | https://www.thehamdenjournal.com/world/1-killed-2-wounded-in-shooting-at-virginia-mall/133908/ | 2022-04-04 11:13:49+00:00 | NORFOLK, Va.

“The Beast” announced he would retire at the end of the season earlier this week and the club honoured the career of their record EFL scorer at Home Park.
But it was down to business on the pitch as midfielders Garath McCleary and Anis Mehmeti did the damage to leave Gareth Ainsworth’s outfit outside of the top six only by a point.
Albanian youngster Mehmeti provided the cross for McCleary to head home in the 18th minute.
Tommy Rowe cleared Sam Vokes’ header off the line moments later, before Josh Scowen’s effort was well tipped over by Jonathan Mitchell.
David Stockdale then did well to keep out Matt Smith’s effort.
Mehmeti put the game to bed with 16 minutes left with a super strike after cutting onto his favoured right foot.

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3164669/wycombe-boost-play-off-push-with-win-over-doncaster/ | Wycombe celebrated Adebayo Akinfenwa’s career in fine style as a 2-0 win over relegation-threatened Doncaster fired them to the cusp of the League One play-off places.
“The Beast” announced he would retire at the end of the season earlier this week and the club honoured the career of their record EFL scorer at Home Park.
But it was down to business on the pitch as midfielders Garath McCleary and Anis Mehmeti did the damage to leave Gareth Ainsworth’s outfit outside of the top six only by a point.
Albanian youngster Mehmeti provided the cross for McCleary to head home in the 18th minute.
Tommy Rowe cleared Sam Vokes’ header off the line moments later, before Josh Scowen’s effort was well tipped over by Jonathan Mitchell.
David Stockdale then did well to keep out Matt Smith’s effort.
Mehmeti put the game to bed with 16 minutes left with a super strike after cutting onto his favoured right foot.
Rovers are now seven points adrift of safety with their relegation rivals having games in hand. | 2 | 97,427 | 0.369423 | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2560054362692/wycombe-boost-play-off-push-with-win-over-doncaster | 2022-04-05 07:57:18+00:00 | Wycombe boost play-off push with win over Doncaster

https://www.thecourier.co.uk/sport/3164702/it-takes-time-rory-burns-puts-ashes-heartbreak-to-bed-before-new-surrey-season/ | Rory Burns insists he has put what happened in the Ashes “to bed” as he prepares for the start of the domestic county season with Surrey.
The opener was one of a number of casualties following England’s humiliating 4-0 defeat Down Under, alongside James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Jos Buttler.
Burns managed just 77 runs against Australia at an average of 12.83 and was dropped from the squad for the recent series against the West Indies.
The 31-year-old says what occurred in Australia is now behind him.
“I don’t really (look back on it), I’ve kind of put it to bed, to be honest,” he said.
“I had some good time off when I came home. Lots of family time. Reassessed my game and tried to work on various things from a technical aspect. Just little tweaks I could make to then go again.”
Before the fateful Australia trip, he was arguably the most experienced opener in the national side, having played 32 Test matches while averaging 30.32 in a position England have struggled with since the retirement of Andrew Strauss in 2012.
On the process of moving on from the tour, Burns said: “It takes a little bit of time. A little bit of reflection. Taking stock of your thoughts and feelings as it goes along.
“With Covid and bubbles in recent times it’s been quite intense, with international cricket particularly, and the Ashes was no exception.
“It was probably the most intense process we’ve been through. Started with five weeks on the Gold Coast.
“I just took a little bit of time on my own. A bit of family time. My daughter was there, and so was my wife. But spending time with them, rationalising it, talking to people I trust and then getting back on the wagon.”
Burns is still trying to improve after being dropped.
“Obviously (it was) not my decision. Out of my hands so I had to deal with what I’d been dealt,” he said.
“What Jimmy said resonated with me the other day. I’m still looking to improve, still looking to get better. I think that I can. I’ll go again and try to score runs.” | 0 | 5,322 | 0 | https://www.shropshirestar.com/sport/uk-sports/2022/04/02/it-takes-time--rory-burns-puts-ashes-heartbreak-to-bed-before-new-surrey-season/ | 2022-04-02 18:02:06+00:00 | Rory Burns insists he has put what happened in the Ashes “to bed” as he prepares for the start of the domestic county season with Surrey.

https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/COVID-19-cases-rise-in-Shanghai-with-millions-17053943.php | BEIJING (AP) — COVID-19 cases in China’s largest city of Shanghai are still rising as millions remain isolated at home under a sweeping lockdown.
Health officials on Sunday reported 438 confirmed cases detected over the previous 24 hours, along with 7,788 asymptomatic cases. Both figures were up slightly from the day before.
While small by the standards of some countries, the daily case numbers are some of the largest since the virus was first detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019.
Shanghai with its 26 million people last week began a two-stage lockdown, with residents of the eastern Pudong section supposed to be allowed to leave their homes Friday, while their neighbors in the western Puxi section underwent their own four-day isolation period.
Despite that assurance, millions in Pudong continue to be confined to their homes amid complaints over food deliveries and the availability of medications and health services.
Notices delivered to residents said they were required to self-test for COVID-19 daily and take precautions including wearing masks at home and avoiding contact with family members — measures not widely enforced since the early days of the pandemic.
A city official last week apologized in response to complaints over the government's handling of the lockdown, and a vice premier made sweeping demands for improvements during a tour of Shanghai on Saturday.
Sun Chunlan, who sits on the ruling Communist Party's Politburo, urged “resolute and swift moves to stem the spread of COVID-19 in Shanghai in the shortest time possible," the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
However, Sun stressed “unswerving adherence" to China's hardline “zero-COVID" approach, mandating lockdowns, forced isolation of all suspected cases and mass testing, even while acknowledging the social and economic toll that is taking.
“It is an arduous task and huge challenge to combat the omicron variant while maintaining the normal operation of core functions in a megacity,” Sun said.
She called for safeguarding key industries and institutions and the functioning of supply and industrial chains in the commercial hub, along with ensuring “people’s basic living conditions and normal medical needs."
State media reports indicate president and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping is directing the continuing tough approach, while seeking to avoid further damage to the sputtering economy and ensure overall stability ahead of a key party congress expected for November. | 0 | 75,572 | 0 | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/COVID-19-cases-rise-in-Shanghai-with-millions-17053943.php | 2022-04-03 04:27:37+00:00 | BEIJING (AP) — COVID-19 cases in China’s largest city of Shanghai are still rising as millions remain isolated at home under a sweeping lockdown.

Notices delivered to residents said they were required to self-test for COVID-19 daily and take precautions including wearing masks at home and avoiding contact with family members — measures not widely enforced since the early days of the pandemic.
A city official last week apologized in response to complaints over the government's handling of the lockdown, and a vice premier made sweeping demands for improvements during a tour of Shanghai on Saturday.
Sun Chunlan, who sits on the ruling Communist Party's Politburo, urged “resolute and swift moves to stem the spread of COVID-19 in Shanghai in the shortest time possible," the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
However, Sun stressed “unswerving adherence" to China's hardline “zero-COVID" approach, mandating lockdowns, forced isolation of all suspected cases and mass testing, even while acknowledging the social and economic toll that is taking.
“It is an arduous task and huge challenge to combat the omicron variant while maintaining the normal operation of core functions in a megacity,” Sun said.
She called for safeguarding key industries and institutions and the functioning of supply and industrial chains in the commercial hub, along with ensuring “people’s basic living conditions and normal medical needs."
State media reports indicate president and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping is directing the continuing tough approach, while seeking to avoid further damage to the sputtering economy and ensure overall stability ahead of a key party congress expected for November. |
https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/COVID-19-cases-rise-in-Shanghai-with-millions-17053943.php | BEIJING (AP) — COVID-19 cases in China’s largest city of Shanghai are still rising as millions remain isolated at home under a sweeping lockdown.
Health officials on Sunday reported 438 confirmed cases detected over the previous 24 hours, along with 7,788 asymptomatic cases. Both figures were up slightly from the day before.
While small by the standards of some countries, the daily case numbers are some of the largest since the virus was first detected in the central city of Wuhan in late 2019.

After striking out in free agency, the Guardians locked up one of their own, agreeing to terms with closer Emmanuel Clase on a $20 million, five-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on April 3.
Clase’s deal is pending him passing a physical, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the agreement.
The deal includes club options for 2027 and 2028 worth $10 million each. It could be a few days before the deal is completed, the person said.
Clase missed all of 2020 after being suspended for performance-enhancing drugs. However, he thrived in his first year as Cleveland’s closer, recording 24 saves with a 1.29 ERA in 71 appearances as a rookie in 2021. Clase had 74 strikeouts in 69 2/3 innings.
The 24-year-old began last season sharing the closer’s job with James Karinchak before becoming one of the AL’s rising young pitching stars. Clase gives manager Terry Francona a dependable weapon at the back end of a bullpen that will need to have a big year to keep Cleveland competitive.
The Guardians have been criticized for their lack of spending during the offseason. They pursued some free agents but came up short and further alienated fans wanting them to do more after an 80-82 season.
The team has had talks this spring with All-Star third baseman José Ramírez about a possible long-term contract. He’s under team control through the 2023 season and is Cleveland’s highest paid player, making $12 million this season.
The Guardians acquired Clase from Texas in 2019 as part of a trade that sent former AL Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber to the Rangers. | 0 | 55,135 | 0 | https://www.morningjournal.com/2022/04/02/ap-source-guardians-rp-clase-agree-to-20m-5-year-deal/ | 2022-04-03 00:56:14+00:00 | By TOM WITHERS

NOTES: OF/1B Josh Naylor will start the season on the 10-day injured list as he continues his comeback after breaking his leg last season. Naylor only recently began playing in major league exhibitions. Also, rookie outfielder Steven Kwan, catcher Bryan Lavastida and left-handed reliever Konnor Pilkington were told they're on the opening day roster. Kwan has had an impressive camp and could start.

The first thing to know about the Big Mac is that the famous McDonald's double-decker burger is mired in controversies and legends – from its originality, to the origin of its name, right down to when it was born.
It all starts with a pair of brothers named Richard and Maurice McDonald, in California. Their father Patrick opened a food stand called the Airdrome in 1937 just outside of Los Angeles in Monrovia. By 1948, the brothers were running the restaurant, and realized that the vast bulk of their business was hamburgers. So they radically streamlined the operation, cutting down the menu and offering only burgers, chips, drinks, and apple pie.
After coming up with the golden arches design during a rebuild, they started looking to franchise the business in 1953. The following year, a milkshake-machine salesman named Ray Kroc found out about the company – which had six stands at the time – and offered to take them national, assuming most of the risk himself and taking on much of the profits.
The franchises took off like wildfire, and people all over the nation started buying them. This included Jim Delligatti, who bought his first franchise in 1957 outside of Pittsburgh in Uniontown, Penn. Eventually, Delligatti would own 48 McDonald's franchises, but he had to confront a problem before huge success came.
Watch the Famous 1974 Commercial Introducing the Big Mac Jingle
Delligatti's restaurants were serving steel workers, and steel workers tend to be really hungry. So they weren't really satisfied by the smallish burgers coming off the line at Delligatti's franchise.
He decided to use one of the oldest ploys in the entrepreneurial handbook: Delligatti copied someone else.
The Big Boy's restaurant chain – a direct competitor – sold a burger called the Big Boy that featured two beef patties separated by a third bun. You'd assume that Delligatti's variation featured the combination of ingredients that powered the Big Mac's unforgettable advertising jingle: two all-beef patties, special sauce (which is not, contrary to longtime rumors, simply Thousand Island dressing), lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, on a sesame seed bun.
Well, not quite. The original newspaper ads heralding the arrival of the burger described it as having: "two freshly ground patties, tangy melted cheese, crisp lettuce, pickle and our own Special Sauce." It's unclear when the onions finally arrived, but it was certainly sometime before the jingle was introduced in 1974.
Watch a 1967 Commercial for the Big Mac With No Onions
Once Delligatti had perfected his recipe, he tried to convince the McDonald's corporate offices to let him sell it at his franchise. They said no, but he kept lobbying them. The execs finally gave in after two years, allowing Delligatti to sell his crazy new double burger, but also to use a specially ordered, double-sliced sesame-seed bun – so there'd be three pieces of it in the sandwich. (Delligatti rightly figured he would need to keep the bigger, sauce-heavy burger from falling apart.)
When he finally got the green light from corporate, Delligatti started selling the new burger in his franchise in April 1967. Just what it would be called is a point of controversy, as well.The legend goes that Delligatti's first ideas were the Blue Ribbon Burger, and the Aristocrat. Neither of these stuck, however, and so it ended up being called the Big Mac.
The origin of this name was shrouded in legend for years. McDonald's finally declared in 1985 that it had come from a 21-year-old secretary named Esther Glickstein, who had long lobbied for recognition as the inventor of the name. Rumors that the Delligatti family felt they deserved credit for the name persisted, however, and at one point seems to have almost become a legal matter.
Watch the 50th Anniversary Big Mac Spot From McDonald's
As if this all isn't enough, the sandwich's birthday is also a point of contention. It's generally agreed that Delligatti sold the first one on April 22, 1967 at his McDonald's franchise in Pittsburgh. The company didn't make the Big Mac available nationally, however, until 1968 – and McDonald's notably celebrated the Big Mac's 50th anniversary in August 2018.
Through all of this history, one thing is certain: the Big Mac is a cultural icon. Economists have invented a so-called Big Mac Index to measure the comparative value of currencies according to what the sandwich costs in different countries. The Guinness World Records recognizes a man for simply eating them.
As of 2021, Wisconsinite Donald Gorske had consumed 32,340 of them in his lifetime, going only eight days without eating a Big Mac since 1972. When asked by his local paper why he was doing this, Gorske said, simply: "I have no goal. I'll eat Big Macs until I die." |

Ukrainian forces retake areas near Kyiv amid fear of traps
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukrainian troops moved cautiously to retake territory north of the country´s capital on Saturday, using cables to pull the bodies of civilians off streets of one town out of fear that Russian forces may have left them booby-trapped.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that departing Russian troops were creating a "catastrophic" situation for civilians by leaving mines around homes, abandoned equipment and "even the bodies of those killed." His claims could not be independently verified.
Associated Press journalists in Bucha, a suburb northwest of Kyiv, watched as Ukrainian soldiers backed by a column of tanks and other armored vehicles used cables to drag bodies off of a street from a distance. Locals said the dead - the AP counted at least six - were civilians killed without provocation by departing Russian soldiers.
"Those people were just walking and they shot them without any reason. Bang," said a Bucha resident who declined to give his name citing safety reasons. "In the next neighborhood, Stekolka, it was even worse. They would shoot without asking any question."
Ukraine and its Western allies reported mounting evidence of Russia withdrawing its forces from around Kyiv and building its troop strength in eastern Ukraine.

West, Russia mull nuclear steps in a 'more dangerous' world
WASHINGTON (AP) - Russia´s assault on Ukraine and its veiled threats of using nuclear arms have policymakers, past and present, thinking the unthinkable: How should the West respond to a Russian battlefield explosion of a nuclear bomb?
The default U.S. policy answer, say some architects of the post-Cold War nuclear order, is with discipline and restraint. That could entail stepping up sanctions and isolation for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Rose Gottemoeller, deputy secretary-general of NATO from 2016 to 2019.
But no one can count on calm minds to prevail in such a moment, and real life seldom goes to plan. World leaders would be angry, affronted, fearful. Miscommunication and confusion could be rife. Hackers could add to the chaos. Demands would be great for tough retaliation - the kind that can be done with nuclear-loaded missiles capable of moving faster than the speed of sound.
When military and civilian officials and experts have war-gamed Russian-U.S. nuclear tensions in the past, the tabletop exercises sometimes end with nuclear missiles arcing across continents and oceans, striking the capitals of Europe and North America, killing millions within hours, said Olga Oliker, program director for Europe and Central Asia at the International Crisis Group.
"And, you know, soon enough, you´ve just had a global thermonuclear war," Oliker said.

UK hits record COVID-19 levels; nearly 5 million infected
LONDON (AP) - The prevalence of COVID-19 in the U.K. has reached record levels, with about 1 in 13 people estimated to be infected with the virus in the past week, according to the latest figures from Britain's official statistics agency.
Some 4.9 million people were estimated to have the coronavirus in the week ending March 26, up from 4.3 million recorded in the previous week, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. The latest surge is driven by the more transmissible omicron variant BA.2, which is the dominant variant across the U.K.
Hospitalizations and death rates are again rising, although the number of people dying with COVID-19 is still relatively low compared with earlier this year. Nonetheless, the latest estimates suggest that the steep climb in new infections since late February, when British Prime Minister Boris Johnson scrapped all remaining coronavirus restrictions in England, has continued well into March.
The figures came on the same day the government ended free rapid COVID-19 tests for most people in England, under Johnson's "living with COVID" plan. People who do not have health conditions that make them more vulnerable to the virus now need to pay for tests to find out if they are infected.
"The government's `living with COVID´ strategy of removing any mitigations, isolation, free testing and a considerable slice of our surveillance amounts to nothing more than ignoring this virus going forwards," said Stephen Griffin, associate professor at the University of Leeds' medical school.

Parkland shooter's lawyers face tough task in jury selection
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Attorneys for Parkland, Florida, school shooter Nikolas Cruz will have one goal when jury selection starts Monday: to identify candidates who might give Cruz the single vote he needs to get a life sentence instead of death for the 2018 murders of 17 students and staff members. The process will involve a lot of educated guesses.
Court officials said perhaps 1,500 or more potential jurors could file through Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer's courtroom over several weeks as she, prosecutors and Cruz's public defenders select 12 panelists, plus eight alternates, for his penalty trial. Those chosen must say they can put aside their animosity toward Cruz for the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and judge the case fairly. The potential jurors must also be available through September.
Cruz´s attorneys "should not even try to get a jury or juror who doesn´t know about the case because that is ignorance; you would have to be living under a rock," said Orlando defense attorney Mark O´Mara. O'Mara came to national prominence after his successful 2013 defense of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murdering Black teenager Trayvon Martin. He is not involved in the Cruz case.
Jury candidates who declare that they can be objective will complete a questionnaire that dives into their backgrounds and asks whether they can handle viewing graphic evidence. They will then return in a few weeks for courtroom interviews, where they must declare that they are able to vote for the death penalty but also don't believe it should be mandatory for murder.
Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to 17 first-degree murders, 17 attempted murders and a jail assault, leaving the jury to decide only whether the former Stoneman Douglas student gets death or life without parole.

AP PHOTOS: Ukraine volunteer fighters come from near and far
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - They are old, young, local, foreign, often new to war. Thousands of people have volunteered to join Ukraine´s Territorial Defense Forces and resist Russia´s invasion. The Associated Press this week spent time with some of them.
A 30-year-old actor, Sergiy Volosovets, now commands a unit of 11 men and oversees the military training of other volunteers at a base northeast of the capital, Kyiv, just a few kilometers from the front line. After their training, they might join the fight or guard checkpoints.
"They never thought that they would have a gun in their hands," Volosovets said. But "this desire just brought all of them here."
At the beginning of the war, he said, fighters were sent to the front line after just two days of hurried training. Now instruction is more thorough. "We need self-conscious people who know what they´re doing," he said.
Among the volunteer fighters is 24-year-old sound engineer Kostyantyn Kovalenko. "As a sound engineer, I listen to the sounds of war I can hear, I think, a bit differently," he said. He is bothered by the sounds like anyone else, but studies them and tries to identify the weapons. "I only regret that I don´t have my recorder to record the sounds and use them for a patriotic track," he said.

US sends home Algerian held nearly 20 years at Guantanamo
WASHINGTON (AP) - An Algerian man imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay detention center for nearly 20 years has been released and sent back to his homeland.
The Department of Defense announced Saturday that Sufyian Barhoumi was repatriated with assurances from the Algerian government that he would be treated humanely there and that security measures would be imposed to reduce the risk that he could pose a threat in the future.
The Pentagon did not provide details about those security measures, which could include restrictions on travel.
Barhoumi was captured in Pakistan and taken to the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2002. The United States eventually determined he was involved with various extremist groups but was not a member of al-Qaida or the Taliban, according to a report by a review board at the prison that approved him for release in 2016.
U.S. authorities attempted to prosecute Barhoumi in 2008 but the effort was dropped amid legal challenges to the initial version of the military commission system set up under President George W. Bush.

Lawyers hope new evidence can stop Texas woman's execution
HOUSTON (AP) - During hours of relentless questioning, Melissa Lucio more than 100 times had denied fatally beating her 2-year-old daughter.
But worn down from a lifetime of abuse and the grief of losing her daughter Mariah, her lawyers say, the Texas woman finally acquiesced to investigators. "I guess I did it," Lucio responded when asked if she was responsible for some of Mariah's injuries.
Her lawyers say that statement was wrongly interpreted by prosecutors as a murder confession - tainting the rest of the investigation into Mariah´s 2007 death, with evidence gathered only to prove that conclusion, and helping lead to her capital murder conviction. They contend Mariah died from injuries from a fall down the 14 steps of a steep staircase outside the family´s apartment in the South Texas city of Harlingen.
As her April 27 execution date nears, Lucio´s lawyers are hopeful that new evidence, along with growing public support - including from jurors who now doubt the conviction and from more than half the Texas House of Representatives - will persuade the state´s Board of Pardons and Paroles and Gov. Greg Abbott to grant an execution reprieve or commute her sentence.
"Mariah´s death was a tragedy not a murder. ... It would be an absolutely devastating message for this execution to go forward. It would send a message that innocence doesn´t matter," said Vanessa Potkin, one of Lucio´s attorneys who is with the Innocence Project.

Video contrasts police depiction of stun gun on Black man
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Tennessee police officer who used his stun gun on a DoorDash driver wrote an arrest report saying the man had become argumentative while denying he was speeding, refused to hand over identifying information, demanded to see a supervisor and stayed in his car when ordered to get out.
The driver - who faces charges of speeding, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct based on the officer's sworn affidavit - pressed record on his phone after he was pulled over. That recording, made public by the driver's attorney, tells a different story.
It shows Delane Gordon holding his driver's license as Collegedale Police Officer Evan Driskill stands with his taser in a firing position. "He said he pulled me over for a traffic violation and he's gonna Tase me. You can't do that officer because I called for your supervisor," Gordon says.
The white officer repeatedly shouts "get out!" at Gordon, who is Black.
"I have my license. What is the reason?" Gordon asks.

Tribes seek more inclusion, action from US officials
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - It was a quick trip for U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland with stops to hike through desert scrub near the U.S.-Mexico border and to marvel at the jagged Organ Mountains before soaking in what life was like in one of the oldest settlements along a historic trade route.
For Haaland, the time spent in West Texas and New Mexico over recent days helped to highlight the work being done to conserve parts of the borderlands.
But it also marked an opportunity for Haaland - as head of the agency that has broad oversight of tribal affairs - to deliver on promises to meet with Native American tribes that have grown increasingly frustrated about the federal government´s failure to include them when making decisions about land management, energy development or the protection of sacred sites.
Haaland´s selection as the first Native American to serve in the position opened a door for tribes who pointed to a history fraught with broken promises.
"I want the era where tribes have been on the back burner to be over, and I want to make sure that they have real opportunities to have a seat at the table," Haaland said on March 17, 2021, her first day on the job.

Krzyzewski K-O'd: North Carolina takes out coach, Duke 81-77
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski´s remarkable career came to thrilling and sudden close Saturday night after Caleb Love made a key 3-pointer and three late free throws to lift archrival North Carolina to a thrill-a-minute 81-77 victory over the Blue Devils.
This was the 258th, most consequential and maybe, just maybe, the very best meeting between these teams, whose arenas are separated by a scant 11 miles down in Tobacco Road.
The Tar Heels (29-9), of all teams, pinned the 368th and final loss on the 75-year-old Coach K, exactly four weeks after they ruined the going-away party in his final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
That loss hurt. This one stopped the coach´s last-gasp, storybook run one win away from a title game and a chance at his sixth championship. When it was over, after playing through the nip-and-tuck stretch run without a timeout, Krzyzewski walked calmly to halfcourt and shook the hand of Carolina's rookie coach, Hubert Davis.
So, instead of Krzyzewski going for his sixth title, on Monday, Carolina will go for its seventh. It will be Davis, Love, who led the Tar Heels with 28 points, and R.J. Davis, who scored 18, going against Kansas, which beat Villanova 81-65 earlier in the undercard. | 0 | 76,063 | 0.116512 | https://www.eagletribune.com/region/ap-news-in-brief-at-11-04-p-m-edt/article_3f64c00b-4943-5220-9815-436b56e627e5.html | 2022-04-03 04:31:46+00:00 | Ukrainian forces retake areas near Kyiv amid fear of traps

Parkland shooter's lawyers face tough task in jury selection
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Attorneys for Parkland, Florida, school shooter Nikolas Cruz will have one goal when jury selection starts Monday: to identify candidates who might give Cruz the single vote he needs to get a life sentence instead of death for the 2018 murders of 17 students and staff members. The process will involve a lot of educated guesses.
Court officials said perhaps 1,500 or more potential jurors could file through Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer's courtroom over several weeks as she, prosecutors and Cruz's public defenders select 12 panelists, plus eight alternates, for his penalty trial. Those chosen must say they can put aside their animosity toward Cruz for the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and judge the case fairly. The potential jurors must also be available through September.

They will then return in a few weeks for courtroom interviews, where they must declare that they are able to vote for the death penalty but also don't believe it should be mandatory for murder.

US sends home Algerian held nearly 20 years at Guantanamo
WASHINGTON (AP) — An Algerian man imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay detention center for nearly 20 years has been released and sent back to his homeland.
The Department of Defense announced Saturday that Sufyian Barhoumi was repatriated with assurances from the Algerian government that he would be treated humanely there and that security measures would be imposed to reduce the risk that he could pose a threat in the future.
The Pentagon did not provide details about those security measures, which could include restrictions on travel.
Barhoumi was captured in Pakistan and taken to the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2002. The United States eventually determined he was involved with various extremist groups but was not a member of al-Qaida or the Taliban, according to a report by a review board at the prison that approved him for release in 2016.
U.S. authorities attempted to prosecute Barhoumi in 2008 but the effort was dropped amid legal challenges to the initial version of the military commission system set up under President George W. Bush.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee police officer who used his stun gun on a DoorDash driver wrote an arrest report saying the man had become argumentative while denying he was speeding, refused to hand over identifying information, demanded to see a supervisor and stayed in his car when ordered to get out.
The driver — who faces charges of speeding, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct based on the officer's sworn affidavit — pressed record on his phone after he was pulled over. That recording, made public by the driver's attorney, tells a different story.
It shows Delane Gordon holding his driver's license as Collegedale Police Officer Evan Driskill stands with his taser in a firing position. “He said he pulled me over for a traffic violation and he's gonna Tase me. You can't do that officer because I called for your supervisor,” Gordon says.
The white officer repeatedly shouts “get out!” at Gordon, who is Black.

Tribes seek more inclusion, action from US officials
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — It was a quick trip for U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland with stops to hike through desert scrub near the U.S.-Mexico border and to marvel at the jagged Organ Mountains before soaking in what life was like in one of the oldest settlements along a historic trade route.
For Haaland, the time spent in West Texas and New Mexico over recent days helped to highlight the work being done to conserve parts of the borderlands.
But it also marked an opportunity for Haaland — as head of the agency that has broad oversight of tribal affairs — to deliver on promises to meet with Native American tribes that have grown increasingly frustrated about the federal government’s failure to include them when making decisions about land management, energy development or the protection of sacred sites.
Haaland’s selection as the first Native American to serve in the position opened a door for tribes who pointed to a history fraught with broken promises.
“I want the era where tribes have been on the back burner to be over, and I want to make sure that they have real opportunities to have a seat at the table,” Haaland said on March 17, 2021, her first day on the job.
Missouri regulates boarding schools after abuse allegations
Maggie Drew’s dad sent her to Circle of Hope Girls’ Ranch in Missouri in 2007, hoping strict Christian teachings would stop his 14-year-old daughter’s teenage rebellion.
Instead, Drew said, she found herself in a nightmare, sexually abused by one of the boarding school's founders and left with permanent spinal injuries after a fall from a hay barn for which she received no medical attention.
Just 25 miles away at another Christian boarding school, Brett Harper says he endured abuse that included staff members stomping on his back. He said his injuries required two spinal surgeries and left him disabled.
They are among dozens of people who say they were abused at either Circle of Hope or Agape Boarding School — allegations that helped prompt a new Missouri law aimed at reining in religious boarding schools that for decades went without any oversight by the state.
“I still have nightmares about these people and the things they did to us,” Drew said. |

Ukrainian forces retake areas near Kyiv amid fear of traps
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukrainian troops moved cautiously to retake territory north of the country´s capital on Saturday, using cables to pull the bodies of civilians off streets of one town out of fear that Russian forces may have left them booby-trapped.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that departing Russian troops were creating a "catastrophic" situation for civilians by leaving mines around homes, abandoned equipment and "even the bodies of those killed." His claims could not be independently verified.
Associated Press journalists in Bucha, a suburb northwest of Kyiv, watched as Ukrainian soldiers backed by a column of tanks and other armored vehicles used cables to drag bodies off of a street from a distance. Locals said the dead - the AP counted at least six - were civilians killed without provocation by departing Russian soldiers.
"Those people were just walking and they shot them without any reason. Bang," said a Bucha resident who declined to give his name citing safety reasons. "In the next neighborhood, Stekolka, it was even worse. They would shoot without asking any question."
Ukraine and its Western allies reported mounting evidence of Russia withdrawing its forces from around Kyiv and building its troop strength in eastern Ukraine.

West, Russia mull nuclear steps in a 'more dangerous' world
WASHINGTON (AP) - Russia´s assault on Ukraine and its veiled threats of using nuclear arms have policymakers, past and present, thinking the unthinkable: How should the West respond to a Russian battlefield explosion of a nuclear bomb?
The default U.S. policy answer, say some architects of the post-Cold War nuclear order, is with discipline and restraint. That could entail stepping up sanctions and isolation for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Rose Gottemoeller, deputy secretary-general of NATO from 2016 to 2019.
But no one can count on calm minds to prevail in such a moment, and real life seldom goes to plan. World leaders would be angry, affronted, fearful. Miscommunication and confusion could be rife. Hackers could add to the chaos. Demands would be great for tough retaliation - the kind that can be done with nuclear-loaded missiles capable of moving faster than the speed of sound.
When military and civilian officials and experts have war-gamed Russian-U.S. nuclear tensions in the past, the tabletop exercises sometimes end with nuclear missiles arcing across continents and oceans, striking the capitals of Europe and North America, killing millions within hours, said Olga Oliker, program director for Europe and Central Asia at the International Crisis Group.

Krzyzewski K-O'd: North Carolina takes out coach, Duke 81-77
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski´s remarkable career came to thrilling and sudden close Saturday night after Caleb Love made a key 3-pointer and three late free throws to lift archrival North Carolina to a thrill-a-minute 81-77 victory over the Blue Devils.
This was the 258th, most consequential and maybe, just maybe, the very best meeting between these teams, whose arenas are separated by a scant 11 miles down in Tobacco Road.
The Tar Heels (29-9), of all teams, pinned the 368th and final loss on the 75-year-old Coach K, exactly four weeks after they ruined the going-away party in his final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
That loss hurt. This one stopped the coach´s last-gasp, storybook run one win away from a title game and a chance at his sixth championship. When it was over, after playing through the nip-and-tuck stretch run without a timeout, Krzyzewski walked calmly to halfcourt and shook the hand of Carolina's rookie coach, Hubert Davis.
So, instead of Krzyzewski going for his sixth title, on Monday, Carolina will go for its seventh. It will be Davis, Love, who led the Tar Heels with 28 points, and R.J. Davis, who scored 18, going against Kansas, which beat Villanova 81-65 earlier in the undercard. | 1 | 96,202 | 0.116512 | https://www.eagletribune.com/region/ap-news-in-brief-at-12-04-a-m-edt/article_2210809d-6b4c-52fa-ac00-1bc9525b034c.html | 2022-04-03 07:52:43+00:00 | Ukrainian forces retake areas near Kyiv amid fear of traps

It shows Delane Gordon holding his driver's license as Collegedale Police Officer Evan Driskill stands with his taser in a firing position. “He said he pulled me over for a traffic violation and he's gonna Tase me. You can't do that officer because I called for your supervisor,” Gordon says.
The white officer repeatedly shouts “get out!” at Gordon, who is Black.
“I have my license. What is the reason?” Gordon asks.
Tribes seek more inclusion, action from US officials
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — It was a quick trip for U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland with stops to hike through desert scrub near the U.S.-Mexico border and to marvel at the jagged Organ Mountains before soaking in what life was like in one of the oldest settlements along a historic trade route.
For Haaland, the time spent in West Texas and New Mexico over recent days helped to highlight the work being done to conserve parts of the borderlands.
But it also marked an opportunity for Haaland — as head of the agency that has broad oversight of tribal affairs — to deliver on promises to meet with Native American tribes that have grown increasingly frustrated about the federal government’s failure to include them when making decisions about land management, energy development or the protection of sacred sites.
Haaland’s selection as the first Native American to serve in the position opened a door for tribes who pointed to a history fraught with broken promises.
“I want the era where tribes have been on the back burner to be over, and I want to make sure that they have real opportunities to have a seat at the table,” Haaland said on March 17, 2021, her first day on the job.
Krzyzewski K-O'd: North Carolina takes out coach, Duke 81-77
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s remarkable career came to thrilling and sudden close Saturday night after Caleb Love made a key 3-pointer and three late free throws to lift archrival North Carolina to a thrill-a-minute 81-77 victory over the Blue Devils.
This was the 258th, most consequential and maybe, just maybe, the very best meeting between these teams, whose arenas are separated by a scant 11 miles down in Tobacco Road.
The Tar Heels (29-9), of all teams, pinned the 368th and final loss on the 75-year-old Coach K, exactly four weeks after they ruined the going-away party in his final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
That loss hurt. This one stopped the coach’s last-gasp, storybook run one win away from a title game and a chance at his sixth championship. When it was over, after playing through the nip-and-tuck stretch run without a timeout, Krzyzewski walked calmly to halfcourt and shook the hand of Carolina's rookie coach, Hubert Davis.
So, instead of Krzyzewski going for his sixth title, on Monday, Carolina will go for its seventh. It will be Davis, Love, who led the Tar Heels with 28 points, and R.J. Davis, who scored 18, going against Kansas, which beat Villanova 81-65 earlier in the undercard. |

Ukrainian forces retake areas near Kyiv amid fear of traps
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Ukrainian troops moved cautiously to retake territory north of the country´s capital on Saturday, using cables to pull the bodies of civilians off streets of one town out of fear that Russian forces may have left them booby-trapped.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that departing Russian troops were creating a "catastrophic" situation for civilians by leaving mines around homes, abandoned equipment and "even the bodies of those killed." His claims could not be independently verified.
Associated Press journalists in Bucha, a suburb northwest of Kyiv, watched as Ukrainian soldiers backed by a column of tanks and other armored vehicles used cables to drag bodies off of a street from a distance. Locals said the dead - the AP counted at least six - were civilians killed without provocation by departing Russian soldiers.
"Those people were just walking and they shot them without any reason. Bang," said a Bucha resident who declined to give his name citing safety reasons. "In the next neighborhood, Stekolka, it was even worse. They would shoot without asking any question."
Ukraine and its Western allies reported mounting evidence of Russia withdrawing its forces from around Kyiv and building its troop strength in eastern Ukraine.

West, Russia mull nuclear steps in a 'more dangerous' world
WASHINGTON (AP) - Russia´s assault on Ukraine and its veiled threats of using nuclear arms have policymakers, past and present, thinking the unthinkable: How should the West respond to a Russian battlefield explosion of a nuclear bomb?
The default U.S. policy answer, say some architects of the post-Cold War nuclear order, is with discipline and restraint. That could entail stepping up sanctions and isolation for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Rose Gottemoeller, deputy secretary-general of NATO from 2016 to 2019.
But no one can count on calm minds to prevail in such a moment, and real life seldom goes to plan. World leaders would be angry, affronted, fearful. Miscommunication and confusion could be rife. Hackers could add to the chaos. Demands would be great for tough retaliation - the kind that can be done with nuclear-loaded missiles capable of moving faster than the speed of sound.
When military and civilian officials and experts have war-gamed Russian-U.S. nuclear tensions in the past, the tabletop exercises sometimes end with nuclear missiles arcing across continents and oceans, striking the capitals of Europe and North America, killing millions within hours, said Olga Oliker, program director for Europe and Central Asia at the International Crisis Group.
"And, you know, soon enough, you´ve just had a global thermonuclear war," Oliker said.

UK hits record COVID-19 levels; nearly 5 million infected
LONDON (AP) - The prevalence of COVID-19 in the U.K. has reached record levels, with about 1 in 13 people estimated to be infected with the virus in the past week, according to the latest figures from Britain's official statistics agency.
Some 4.9 million people were estimated to have the coronavirus in the week ending March 26, up from 4.3 million recorded in the previous week, the Office for National Statistics said Friday. The latest surge is driven by the more transmissible omicron variant BA.2, which is the dominant variant across the U.K.
Hospitalizations and death rates are again rising, although the number of people dying with COVID-19 is still relatively low compared with earlier this year. Nonetheless, the latest estimates suggest that the steep climb in new infections since late February, when British Prime Minister Boris Johnson scrapped all remaining coronavirus restrictions in England, has continued well into March.
The figures came on the same day the government ended free rapid COVID-19 tests for most people in England, under Johnson's "living with COVID" plan. People who do not have health conditions that make them more vulnerable to the virus now need to pay for tests to find out if they are infected.
"The government's `living with COVID´ strategy of removing any mitigations, isolation, free testing and a considerable slice of our surveillance amounts to nothing more than ignoring this virus going forwards," said Stephen Griffin, associate professor at the University of Leeds' medical school.

Parkland shooter's lawyers face tough task in jury selection
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Attorneys for Parkland, Florida, school shooter Nikolas Cruz will have one goal when jury selection starts Monday: to identify candidates who might give Cruz the single vote he needs to get a life sentence instead of death for the 2018 murders of 17 students and staff members. The process will involve a lot of educated guesses.
Court officials said perhaps 1,500 or more potential jurors could file through Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer's courtroom over several weeks as she, prosecutors and Cruz's public defenders select 12 panelists, plus eight alternates, for his penalty trial. Those chosen must say they can put aside their animosity toward Cruz for the 2018 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and judge the case fairly. The potential jurors must also be available through September.
Cruz´s attorneys "should not even try to get a jury or juror who doesn´t know about the case because that is ignorance; you would have to be living under a rock," said Orlando defense attorney Mark O´Mara. O'Mara came to national prominence after his successful 2013 defense of George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of murdering Black teenager Trayvon Martin. He is not involved in the Cruz case.
Jury candidates who declare that they can be objective will complete a questionnaire that dives into their backgrounds and asks whether they can handle viewing graphic evidence. They will then return in a few weeks for courtroom interviews, where they must declare that they are able to vote for the death penalty but also don't believe it should be mandatory for murder.
Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to 17 first-degree murders, 17 attempted murders and a jail assault, leaving the jury to decide only whether the former Stoneman Douglas student gets death or life without parole.

AP PHOTOS: Ukraine volunteer fighters come from near and far
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - They are old, young, local, foreign, often new to war. Thousands of people have volunteered to join Ukraine´s Territorial Defense Forces and resist Russia´s invasion. The Associated Press this week spent time with some of them.
A 30-year-old actor, Sergiy Volosovets, now commands a unit of 11 men and oversees the military training of other volunteers at a base northeast of the capital, Kyiv, just a few kilometers from the front line. After their training, they might join the fight or guard checkpoints.
"They never thought that they would have a gun in their hands," Volosovets said. But "this desire just brought all of them here."
At the beginning of the war, he said, fighters were sent to the front line after just two days of hurried training. Now instruction is more thorough. "We need self-conscious people who know what they´re doing," he said.
Among the volunteer fighters is 24-year-old sound engineer Kostyantyn Kovalenko. "As a sound engineer, I listen to the sounds of war I can hear, I think, a bit differently," he said. He is bothered by the sounds like anyone else, but studies them and tries to identify the weapons. "I only regret that I don´t have my recorder to record the sounds and use them for a patriotic track," he said.

US sends home Algerian held nearly 20 years at Guantanamo
WASHINGTON (AP) - An Algerian man imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay detention center for nearly 20 years has been released and sent back to his homeland.
The Department of Defense announced Saturday that Sufyian Barhoumi was repatriated with assurances from the Algerian government that he would be treated humanely there and that security measures would be imposed to reduce the risk that he could pose a threat in the future.
The Pentagon did not provide details about those security measures, which could include restrictions on travel.
Barhoumi was captured in Pakistan and taken to the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2002. The United States eventually determined he was involved with various extremist groups but was not a member of al-Qaida or the Taliban, according to a report by a review board at the prison that approved him for release in 2016.
U.S. authorities attempted to prosecute Barhoumi in 2008 but the effort was dropped amid legal challenges to the initial version of the military commission system set up under President George W. Bush.

Lawyers hope new evidence can stop Texas woman's execution
HOUSTON (AP) - During hours of relentless questioning, Melissa Lucio more than 100 times had denied fatally beating her 2-year-old daughter.
But worn down from a lifetime of abuse and the grief of losing her daughter Mariah, her lawyers say, the Texas woman finally acquiesced to investigators. "I guess I did it," Lucio responded when asked if she was responsible for some of Mariah's injuries.
Her lawyers say that statement was wrongly interpreted by prosecutors as a murder confession - tainting the rest of the investigation into Mariah´s 2007 death, with evidence gathered only to prove that conclusion, and helping lead to her capital murder conviction. They contend Mariah died from injuries from a fall down the 14 steps of a steep staircase outside the family´s apartment in the South Texas city of Harlingen.
As her April 27 execution date nears, Lucio´s lawyers are hopeful that new evidence, along with growing public support - including from jurors who now doubt the conviction and from more than half the Texas House of Representatives - will persuade the state´s Board of Pardons and Paroles and Gov. Greg Abbott to grant an execution reprieve or commute her sentence.
"Mariah´s death was a tragedy not a murder. ... It would be an absolutely devastating message for this execution to go forward. It would send a message that innocence doesn´t matter," said Vanessa Potkin, one of Lucio´s attorneys who is with the Innocence Project.

Krzyzewski K-O'd: North Carolina takes out coach, Duke 81-77

Ukrainian troops moved cautiously to retake territory north of the country’s capital on Saturday, using cables to pull the bodies of civilians off streets of one town out of fear that Russian forces may have left them booby-trapped.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that departing Russian troops were creating a “catastrophic” situation for civilians by leaving mines around homes, abandoned equipment and “even the bodies of those killed.” His claims could not be independently verified.
Associated Press journalists in Bucha, a suburb northwest of Kyiv, watched as Ukrainian soldiers backed by a column of tanks and other armored vehicles used cables to drag bodies off of a street from a distance. Locals said the dead — the AP counted at least six — were civilians killed without provocation by departing Russian soldiers.
“Those people were just walking and they shot them without any reason. Bang,” said a Bucha resident who declined to give his name citing safety reasons. “In the next neighborhood, Stekolka, it was even worse. They would shoot without asking any question.”
Ukraine and its Western allies reported mounting evidence of Russia withdrawing its forces from around Kyiv and building its troop strength in eastern Ukraine.
The visible shift did not mean the country faced a reprieve from more than five weeks of war or that the more than 4 million refugees who have fled Ukraine will return soon. Zelenskyy said he expects departed towns to endure missile and rocket strikes from afar and for the battle in the east to be intense.
In his nightly video address Saturday, the Ukrainian leader said the country’s troops were not allowing the Russians to retreat without a fight: “They are shelling them. They are destroying everyone they can.”
Russia, Zelenskyy said, has ample forces to put more pressure on Ukraine’s east and south.
LIVE BLOG: LIVE UPDATES: The latest developments on the Russia-Ukraine Crisis
“What is the goal of the Russian troops? They want to seize the Donbas and the south of Ukraine,” he said. “What is our goal? To defend ourselves, our freedom, our land and our people.”
Moscow’s focus on eastern Ukraine also kept the besieged southeastern city of Mariupol in the crosshairs. The port city on the Sea of Azov is located in the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas region, where Moscow-backed separatists have fought Ukrainian troops for eight years. Military analysts think Russian President Vladimir Putin is determined to capture the region after his forces failed to secure Kyiv and other major cities.
The International Committee of the Red Cross had hoped to evacuate Mariupol residents Saturday but had not yet reached the city. A day earlier, local authorities said the Red Cross was blocked by Russian forces.
An adviser to Zelenskyy, Oleksiy Arestovych, said in an interview with Russian lawyer and activist Mark Feygin that Russia and Ukraine had reached an agreement to allow 45 buses to drive to Mariupol to evacuate residents “in coming days.”
The Mariupol city council said earlier Saturday that 10 empty buses were headed to Berdyansk, a city 84 kilometers (52.2 miles) west of Mariupol, to pick up people who managed to get there on their own. About 2,000 made it out of Mariupol on Friday, some on buses and some in their own vehicles, city officials said.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister, Iryna Vereshchuk, said 765 Mariupol residents on Saturday used private vehicles to reach Zaporizhzhia, a city still under Ukrainian control that has served as the destination for other planned evacuations.
Among those escaping was Tamila Mazurenko, who said she fled Mariupol on Monday, made it to Berdyansk that night and then took a bus to Zaporizhzhia. Mazurenko said she waited for a bus until Friday, spending one night sleeping in a field.
“I have only one question: Why?” she said of her city’s ordeal. “We only lived as normal people. And our normal life was destroyed. And we lost everything. I don’t have any job, I can’t find my son.”
Mariupol has been surrounded by Russian forces for more than a month and suffered some of the war’s worst attacks, including on a maternity hospital and a theater that was sheltering civilians. Around 100,000 people are believed to remain in the city, down from a prewar population of 430,000, and they face dire shortages of water, food, fuel and medicine.
Zelenskyy said a significant number of Russian troops were tied up in Mariupol, giving Ukraine “invaluable time ... that is allowing us to foil the enemy’s tactics and weaken its capabilities.”
The city’s capture would give Moscow an unbroken land bridge from Russia to Crimea, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014. But its resistance also has taken on symbolic significance during Russia’s invasion, said Volodymyr Fesenko, head of the Ukrainian think tank Penta.
“Mariupol has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance, and without its conquest, Putin cannot sit down at the negotiating table,” Fesenko said.
About 500 refugees from eastern Ukraine, including 99 children and 12 people with disabilities, arrived in the Russian city of Kazan by train overnight. Asked if he saw a chance to return home, Mariupol resident Artur Kirillov answered, “That’s unlikely, there is no city anymore.”
In towns and cities surrounding Kyiv, signs of fierce fighting were everywhere in the wake of the Russian redeployment. Destroyed armored vehicles from both armies lay in streets and fields along with scattered military gear.
Ukrainian troops were stationed at the entrance to Antonov Airport in suburb of Hostomel, demonstrating control of the runway that Russia tried to storm in the first days of the war.
Inside the compound, the Mriya, one of the biggest planes ever built, lay wrecked underneath a hangar pockmarked with holes from the February attack.
“The Russians couldn’t make one like it so they destroyed it,“ said Oleksandr Merkushev, mayor of the Kyiv suburb of Irpin.
Irpin has seen some of the fiercest battles, and Merkushev said Russian troops “left behind them many bodies, many destroyed buildings, and they mined many places.”
A prominent Ukrainian photojournalist who went missing last month in a combat zone near the capital was found dead Friday in the Huta Mezhyhirska village north of Kyiv, the country’s prosecutor general’s office announced. The prosecutor general’s office attributed Maks Levin’s death to two gunshots allegedly fired by the Russian military and said an investigation was underway.
Elsewhere, at least three Russian ballistic missiles were fired late Friday at the Odesa region on the Black Sea, regional leader Maksim Marchenko said. The Ukrainian military said the Iskander missiles did not hit the critical infrastructure they targeted in Odesa, Ukraine’s largest port and the headquarters of its navy.
Ukraine’s state nuclear agency reported a series of blasts Saturday that injured four people in Enerhodar, a southeastern city that has been under Russian control since early March along with the nearby Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. Ukraine’s human rights ombudsman said via Telegram that the four were badly burned when Russian troops fired light and noise grenades and mortars at a pro-Ukraine demonstration.
The head of Ukraine’s delegation in talks with Russia said Moscow’s negotiators informally agreed to most of a draft proposal discussed during face-to-face talks in Istanbul this week, but no written confirmation has been provided. However, Davyd Arakhamia said on Ukrainian TV that he hopes that draft is developed enough so that the two countries’ presidents can meet to discuss it. |

Vladislav Namestnikov had a goal and an assist, and Joe Pavelski scored what proved to be the game-winner to lead the visiting Dallas Stars to a 5-4 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night.
Jason Robertson and Roope Hintz each had a goal and an assist, and Tyler Seguin added three assists for Dallas (39-25-3, 81 points), which moved past idle Vegas into the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Jani Hakanpaa also scored a goal and Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves for the Stars, who won for the sixth time in their last seven games.
Logan Couture, Nick Bonino, Brent Burns and John Leonard each scored goals, and Erik Karlsson, Noah Gregor and Sasha Chmelevski each had two assists for San Jose (29-31-8, 66 points) which suffered it fourth loss in five games.
Kaapo Kahkonen, making his first home start for the Sharks since being obtained in a trade with the Minnesota Wild, stopped 10 of 14 shots before being pulled after one period. James Reimer finished up and made 14 saves.
San Jose jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the 1:25 mark of the first period when Bonino flipped in a rebound of a Gregor shot for his ninth goal of the season.
But Dallas tied it just 25 seconds later. Seguin intercepted a Tomas Hertl pass behind the net and passed the puck to Namestnikov in the slot where he fired a shot under Kahkonen's glove for his 14th goal of the season.
Hakanpaa put the Stars ahead at the 8:11 mark when he one-timed a Sequin pass past a screen for his third goal of the season. Hintz made it 3-1 less than two minutes later with his 30th goal of the season, redirecting John Klingberg's pass from the left circle.
Robertson extended the lead to 4-1 when he banked in a rebound of a Denis Gurianov shot from behind the net off the back of Kahkonen. The puck crossed the line with just .3 seconds left in the opening period.
San Jose cut it to 4-2 at the 7:53 mark in the second period when Burns' crossing pass caromed in off the skate of defenseman Thomas Harley. It was the ninth goal of the season for Burns.
Pavelski made it 5-2 midway through the third period when he one-timed a Hintz pass from the slot for his 25th goal of the season.
San Jose closed to within a goal late on rebound goals by Leonard and Couture, the final one with 1:28 remaining.

Logan Couture, Nick Bonino, Brent Burns and John Leonard each scored goals, and Erik Karlsson, Noah Gregor and Sasha Chmelevski each had two assists for San Jose (29-31-8, 66 points), which suffered it fourth loss in five games.
Kaapo Kahkonen, making his first home start for the Sharks since being obtained in a trade with the Minnesota Wild, stopped 10 of 14 shots before being pulled after one period. James Reimer finished up and made 14 saves.
San Jose jumped out to a 1-0 lead at the 1:25 mark of the first period when Bonino flipped in a rebound of a Gregor shot for his ninth goal of the season.
But Dallas tied it just 25 seconds later. Seguin intercepted a Tomas Hertl pass behind the net and passed the puck to Namestnikov in the slot, where he fired a shot under Kahkonen’s glove for his 14th goal of the season.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The Dallas Stars used four first-period goals to beat the San Jose Sharks 5-4 on Saturday night, leapfrogging idle Vegas into the second Western Conference wild-card spot with 81 points.
Vladislav Namestnikov, Jani Hakanpaa, Roope Hintz, Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski scored for Dallas, which won its third straight game and sixth in the last seven. Tyler Seguin added three assists.
"I think we’re playing well right now," Hintz said. "Good teams find a way when you have to. I think we just have to keep building and keep playing better each game."
San Jose got goals from Nick Bonino, Brent Burns, John Leonard and Logan Couture, but the Sharks lost their third in a row.
San Jose took an early lead on Bonino’s ninth goal of the season 1:25 into the game, but the Stars answered with four straight to close the first period, including Robertson’s 32nd with 0.3 seconds remaining.
"That certainly helped," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said. "To give up that early goal got our attention and I love how we responded. We came right back quickly and got a couple ourselves."
Burns got one back for the Sharks in the second, scoring his ninth of the season.
Pavelski scored his 25th in the third period, his first career goal against his former team, to make it 5-2.
"I think we answered well when they scored. That’s big for the team when we get some goals early," Hintz said.
Leonard got his first of the season with 4:39 left. Couture added his 22nd with 1:25 remaining, but the Stars held on.
"We lost the first period, we won the second, came out and we won the third," Sharks coach Bob Boughner said. "But you can’t start allowing four goals."
San Jose goalie Kaapo Kahkonen allowed four goals on 14 shots before being replaced by James Reimer to start the second period. Reimer stopped 14 of the 15 shots he faced.
Scott Wedgewood made 24 saves in his second start since joining the Stars from Arizona.
"It’s a big trip for us right now," Hakanpaa noted. "If we can go home with four wins, it would be huge."
Dallas snapped a three-game losing streak against San Jose, beating the Sharks for the first time since Dec. 7, 2018.
WELCOME RETURNS
Sharks D Mario Ferraro and C Jonathan Dahlen both returned from injuries. Ferraro had an assist after missing five weeks with a broken leg. Dahlen missed five games after taking a puck to the face.
"I’m just happy to be back," Ferraro said. "It’s tough seeing the boys battle and it’s tough sitting out. It went pretty quickly though, for me."
Added Boughner: "It’s tough to keep a guy like that out when he’s begging to get back in the lineup and the doctors have given him the green light. ... He brings a lot of intensity and energy to our team."
After a quick start to his rookie season, Dahlen has been slowed by injuries but hopes to finish strong.
"I’ve had more injuries this year than I’ve had all my career," he said. "So it hasn’t been ideal, but I’ve got to stay positive."
NOTES: Stars D Esa Lindell missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury. "There would be a chance he could play tomorrow, but without skating today or the last couple of days, that would be iffy as well," Bowness said. ... Sharks RW Kevin Labanc, out since mid-December following shoulder surgery, might miss the rest of the season for precautionary reasons. "It might come to a point in time where we might shut him down for the season," Boughner confirmed. "But he feels good. Every day he comes, he’s stronger and is in a really good spot, but it’s just a matter of risk/reward at this point."

https://www.ilounge.com/news/google-reveals-new-chrome-icon-for-version-100 | Tech giant Google has released version 100 of its popular web browser Chrome alongside a new redesigned icon.
The special thing about Chrome 100 is that it has had a major icon update since 2014. In February, the new look Chrome was previewed with no shadow and brighter colors. Elvin Hu, Chrome designer said that the change was supposed to align with Google’s modern brand expression. The icon change will be apparent on iOS devices and desktop.
In the Chrome 100 update, Google has addressed a number of security issues and contains 28 fixes. The web browser is constantly updated, but version 100 offers Enhanced Safe Browsing, which aims to ward off phishing and malware, and Safety Check, which works as a tool to make sure your passwords are uncompromised.
Chrome 100 is available to download as an update in-browser or by going to the official Google Chrome website. iOS users can download it on their mobile devices on the App Store. | 0 | 92,119 | 0.584932 | https://www.inferse.com/188289/google-releases-chrome-100-for-ios-and-desktop-with-updated-icon-macrumors/ | 2022-08-19 19:12:01+00:00 | Google today released Chrome 100, the latest version of its browser that’s available on Macs, PCs, iPhones and iPads, Android devices, and more. Chrome 100 is notable because it features the first major icon update for Chrome since 2014.
The updated design was first previewed in February, and it features a simplified icon with brighter colors and no shadows. Chrome designer Elvin Hu said that the refreshed design was meant to align with “Google’s more modern brand expression.” Chrome has new icons on the desktop and on iOS devices.

Google adds new features to Chrome on a monthly basis, so additions to the browser come in smaller doses rather than huge releases, plus many updated features are provided server side. For that reason, there are few other notable features worth mentioning.

An interview today with the team behind the revamp shares some interesting details about the process.
For example, before the 2008 launch, a rocket ship featuring a red lightning bolt and flames shown flying above Earth was used as the browser icon to represent speed.
But our team decided to move away from a literal rocket ship in the end, and came to a design that looked approachable and clickable that still captured the spirit of Google.
Moving on, Chrome was given a new logo in 2022 because it had been eight years since the last refresh, and Google felt it was time for a modernization. Additionally:
We also noticed that the visual design of modern operating systems was becoming more stylistically diverse, so it was important that the Chrome icon felt more adaptable, native and fresh no matter what device you used.
The chosen Chrome icon redesign is more refinement than anything, but Google “tried options that further departed from the overall shape we’ve been using for the past 12 years.” Some explorations were shared today:
In the exploratory phase, we tried all kinds of ideas; softening corners, different geometries, whether or not to separate the colors with white.
Many of them stuck to the “four Google colors and circular composition,” and opted for separating the parts with varying amounts of partition. Other designs were quite abstract, including a triangular version and one with rings somewhat reminiscent of both The Doughnut and Pentagon buildings. Meanwhile, the red gradient icon is just baffling — if not ominous.
The hollowed-out iteration has too much whitespace, but it was retained for Chrome Beta on iOS. (The blueprint-like design is a nod to Apple’s developer-focused applications.)

The new Chrome logo has some subtle differences from before, thanks to a lack of shadows, slightly different proportions, and brighter colors. Most Chrome users might not have even noticed its introduction in Chrome 100, but Google had experimented with far more radical designs that didn’t make the cut.
Some of the more striking proposals included completely different shapes for the Chrome logo or separating the colors with white borders. “In the exploratory phase, we tried all kinds of ideas; softening corners, different geometries, whether or not to separate the colors with white,” explains Thomas Messenger, a visual designer at Google. “We also tried options that further departed from the overall shape we’ve been using for the past 12 years.”
One idea would have seen the Chrome logo move to a more burnt orange look (see above), which would look more at home for Mozilla’s Firefox browser. Ultimately, Google played it safe with a subtle redesign that kept the four recognizable colors of the Chrome logo in place. “We knew how well the four Google colors and circular composition are recognized, so we decided not to deviate too much from that,” says Messenger.
Google did test out a variety of color, gradient, and proportion changes in different contexts and eventually created OS-specific customizations. On Windows 10 and Windows 11, the Chrome icon has more of a gradient, while brighter colors are visible on the icon in Chrome OS without gradients. Google even went for a more 3D look in macOS to match the rest of Apple’s operating system.
If you’re wondering whether the Chrome icon from 2014 might make a comeback, Google doesn’t rule it out. “Never say never,” says Elvin Hu, a user experience interaction designer at Google. “We’ve investigated custom app icons, and found that each platform has different levels of support for it. Maybe one day we will bring it back as an option on platforms that support it.” |
https://english.jagran.com/india/no-impact-on-efficacy-safety-bharat-biotech-as-who-suspends-un-supply-of-covaxin-10041560 | Hyderabad/ New Delhi | Jagran News Desk: The Bharat Biotech on Sunday clarified that there is "no impact on efficacy and safety" of its anti-coronavirus vaccine Covaxin after the World Health Organisation (WHO) suspended its supply through United Nations (UN) agencies.
In a statement, the Hyderabad-based pharmaceutical firm also assured those who have received Covaxin that "vaccine certificates issued stand valid". It, however, said the company is slowing down the production of Covaxin for "facility optimisation".
"As all existing facilities were repurposed for the manufacture of COVAXIN, with continuous production during the past year, to meet the public health emergency of COVID-19, these upgrades were due," the Bharat Biotech said, as reported by news agency ANI.
"Certain highly sophisticated equipment which was required to enhance the process stringency was unavailable during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has to be stressed that the quality of COVAXIN was never compromised at any point in time," it added.
The WHO on Saturday had said it is suspending Covaxin's supply through UN agencies to allow Bharat Biotech to upgrade facilities and address deficiencies found in an inspection. It also asked countries that have received Covaxin to take appropriate actions, but stressed that the "vaccine is effective and no safety concerns exist".
"This suspension is in response to the outcomes of WHO post emergency use listing (EUL) inspection (14 – 22 March 2022) and the need to conduct process and facility upgrade to address recently identified good manufacturing practices (GMP) deficiencies," the WHO said.
"Bharat (Biotech) has committed to comply by addressing the GMP deficiencies and is developing a corrective and preventive action plan, for submission to the Drugs Controller General of India DCGI and WHO. In the interim and as a precautionary measure, Bharat (Biotech)has indicated its commitment to suspend its production of Covaxin for export," the global health body added.

“For the millions who have received COVAXIN, the vaccine certificates issued still stand valid as there is no impact on efficacy and safety of the vaccine,” read the statement issued by Bharat Biotech on suspension from WHO.
The vaccine manufacturer has further said that the company is slowing down the production of Covaxin for facility optimization.
“For the coming period the company will focus on pending facility maintenance, process and facility optimization activities,” the statement read.
“As all existing facilities were repurposed for the manufacture of COVAXIN, with continuous production during the past year, to meet the public health emergency of COVID-19, these upgrades were due. Certain highly sophisticated equipment which was required to enhance the process stringency was unavailable during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has to be stressed that the quality of COVAXIN was never compromised at any point in time,” it added.
The company also mentioned that they are working to further improvements and upgrades to ensure that the production of COVAXIN continues to meet the increasing global regulatory requirements.
“Notwithstanding this excellent safety and efficacy record, Bharat Biotech is diligently working to further improvements and upgrades to ensure that the production of COVAXIN continues to meet ever-increasing global regulatory requirements. Since patient safety is the primary consideration for any new vaccine, there can be no compromises in meeting operational excellence objectives,” it said.
The Bharat Biotech’s COVID-19 vaccine, COVAXIN has been suspended by World Health Organization (WHO) from its Covax facility, announced the UN health body on Saturday attributing it to deficiencies in manufacturing practices.
“WHO confirms the suspension of supply of COVAXIN produced by Bharat (Biotech), through UN procurement agencies and recommending to countries that received the vaccine to take actions as appropriate,” reads the WHO in a statement.
However, the UN body clarified that there will be no issues related to the safety and efficacy of a vaccine.
“The risk assessment to date does not indicate a change in the risk-benefit ratio. The data available to WHO, indicate the vaccine is effective and no safety concern exists. For continuation of vaccination with alternative sources of COVID19 vaccines countries should refer to the respective SAGE recommendation,” it read.
On inspection by WHO, Bharat biotech said, “During the recent WHO post-EUL inspection, Bharat Biotech agreed with the WHO team on the scope of the planned improvement activities and indicated that they will be executed as soon as practical.”
“It does not indicate a change in the risk-benefit ratio (for COVAXIN) and the data, available to WHO, indicates the vaccine is effective and no safety concern exists,” it said.
This suspension has been done after the WHO post-emergency use listing inspection that was conducted between March 14-22. After the suspension, there will be an interruption of supply of Covaxin production for export. |

https://www.npr.org/2022/04/03/1090490177/generations-sing-to-joni-mitchell-in-pre-grammys-tribute | Generations sing to Joni Mitchell in pre-Grammys tribute
LAS VEGAS — An 81-year-old jazz giant and a 15-year-old rock singer were the first to perform tributes to Joni Mitchell on Friday night.
Such was the diversity of artists honoring a most diverse artist, Mitchell, a Canadian-turned-Californian, folkie-turned-rocker-turned-jazz explorer who was honored as the 2022 MusiCares Person of the year by the Recording Academy two days before the Grammy Awards.
Herbie Hancock played a jazz piano rendition of music from Mitchell's 1976 album "Hejira" that was followed by a rocking version of 1974's "Help Me" from Violet Grohl, the teenage daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, to open the tribute concert in a ballroom at the MGM Grand Las Vegas.
Mitchell, sitting at the front table, brought out the teenager in many of the older entertainers.
"When I first heard Joni Mitchell it was 1968 and I was 15 years old," Cyndi Lauper, now 68, said. "I had never heard anyone sing so intimately about what it was like to be a young woman navigating this world."
Lauper recited several of Mitchell's lines that moved her most, before launching into "Magdalene Laundry" while playing mountain dulcimer.
"I don't know how you do what you do, I just know I need it like food," Meryl Streep said in a video message played for Mitchell and the crowd. "Ever since we were both young girls. We didn't know each other, but you sang me into being. You sang my life."
Seven years after a brain aneurysm that left her temporarily unable to walk or speak, Mitchell, 78, was delighted to be in Las Vegas and out at a major public event for the first time since the pandemic began.
"I had the best margarita that I've ever had at our hotel," she told The Associated Press as she walked into the gala.
Mitchell is a presenter and a nominee for best historical album at Sunday's Grammys. She says she's always found herself in the genres and categories that don't make the Grammy telecast.
"I usually win the behind-the-curtain awards," she said with a laugh.
Inside, sitting a table with Hancock and director Cameron Crowe, Mitchell often appeared near tears as a parade of artists praised her before giving their takes on her songs.
"Not unlike people who lived in the time of Shakespeare, and of Beethoven, we are living in the time of Joni Mitchell, and it shows tonight," said Brandi Carlile, who sang a version of "Woodstock" that began as a quiet ballad before the house band kicked in and Stephen Stills — who played on the most famous version of the 1970 song with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young — joined her for an electric guitar solo.
In a new approach to this year's MusiCares tribute, organizers appointed Carlile, who is up for five Grammys on Sunday, and Jon Batiste, who is up for 11, as music directors to coordinate the artists and their approaches to the difficult, genre-bending songs of Mitchell's five-decade career.
"We helped shepherd artists to their Joni songs, the ones that their souls connected to," Carlile told the AP. "This isn't easy music. This is complicated, brilliant music that is really hard to interpret."
Before singing one of those esoteric songs, "The Jungle Line" from 1975's "The Hissing of the Summer Lawns," Beck said "preparing for this event I feel like I've been in Joni school."
John Legend gave a surprise performance, singing and playing solo piano on Mitchell's "River" on a spinning stage in the middle of the room as the crowd of 2,400 was finishing their spinning dessert, an edible Grammy trophy on a turntable.
"Everybody was splendid, it just kept getting better and better and better," Mitchell said in a brief acceptance speech near the concert's end. "I can retire now and just let other people do it."
But she showed she's not quite done yet.
Carlile and Batiste brought most of the night's performers back to the stage for a sing-along of "The Circle Game" and "Big Yellow Taxi."
Mitchell eventually made her way to the mic to join them, delivering the famous baritone ending of the latter song.
"Put up a parking lot," she sang, to laughs and whoops from the crowd.
The MusiCares Person of the Year is a career achievement award handed out for a combination of inspiring artistic accomplishments and philanthropy. The gala handing it out raises funds for the programs of MusiCares, the Recording Academy charity that provides health and welfare services to musicians in need.
Past honorees include Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton and Aerosmith. | 0 | 48,765 | 0.044467 | https://www.iheartradio.ca/ctv-news-content/generations-sing-to-joni-mitchell-in-pre-grammys-tribute-1.17484874 | 2022-04-02 23:48:34+00:00 | Generations sing to Joni Mitchell in pre-Grammys tribute

"I had the best margarita that I've ever had at our hotel," she told The Associated Press as she walked into the gala.
Mitchell is a presenter and a nominee for best historical album at Sunday's Grammys. She says she's always found herself in the genres and categories that don't make the Grammy telecast.
"I usually win the behind-the-curtain awards," she said with a laugh.
Inside, sitting a table with Hancock and director Cameron Crowe, Mitchell often appeared near tears as a parade of artists praised her before giving their takes on her songs.
"Not unlike people who lived in the time of Shakespeare, and of Beethoven, we are living in the time of Joni Mitchell, and it shows tonight," said Brandi Carlile, who sang a version of "Woodstock" that began as a quiet ballad before the house band kicked in and Stephen Stills — who played on the most famous version of the 1970 song with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young — joined her for an electric guitar solo.
In a new approach to this year's MusiCares tribute, organizers appointed Carlile, who is up for five Grammys on Sunday, and Jon Batiste, who is up for 11, as music directors to coordinate the artists and their approaches to the difficult, genre-bending songs of Mitchell's five-decade career.
"We helped shepherd artists to their Joni songs, the ones that their souls connected to," Carlile told the AP. "This isn't easy music. This is complicated, brilliant music that is really hard to interpret."
Before singing one of those esoteric songs, "The Jungle Line" from 1975's "The Hissing of the Summer Lawns," Beck said "preparing for this event I feel like I've been in Joni school."
John Legend gave a surprise performance, singing and playing solo piano on Mitchell's "River" on a spinning stage in the middle of the room as the crowd of 2,400 was finishing their spinning dessert, an edible Grammy trophy on a turntable.
"Everybody was splendid, it just kept getting better and better and better," Mitchell said in a brief acceptance speech near the concert's end. "I can retire now and just let other people do it."
But she showed she's not quite done yet.
Carlile and Batiste brought most of the night's performers back to the stage for a sing-along of "The Circle Game" and "Big Yellow Taxi."
Mitchell eventually made her way to the mic to join them, delivering the famous baritone ending of the latter song.
"Put up a parking lot," she sang, to laughs and whoops from the crowd.
The MusiCares Person of the Year is a career achievement award handed out for a combination of inspiring artistic accomplishments and philanthropy. The gala handing it out raises funds for the programs of MusiCares, the Recording Academy charity that provides health and welfare services to musicians in need.
Past honorees include Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton and Aerosmith. | 1 | 74,587 | 0.060558 | https://www.mymotherlode.com/entertainment/music-news/2453105/generations-sing-to-joni-mitchell-in-pre-grammys-tribute.html | 2022-04-02 09:45:00+00:00 | Generations sing to Joni Mitchell in pre-Grammys tribute
LAS VEGAS (AP) — An 81-year-old jazz giant and a 15-year-old rock singer were the first to perform tributes to Joni Mitchell on Friday night.
Such was the diversity of artists honoring a most diverse artist, Mitchell, a Canadian-turned-Californian, folkie-turned-rocker-turned-jazz explorer who was honored as the 2022 MusiCares Person of the year by the Recording Academy two days before the Grammy Awards.
Herbie Hancock played a jazz piano rendition of music from Mitchell’s 1976 album “Hejira” that was followed by a rocking version of 1974’s “Help Me” from Violet Grohl, the teenage daughter of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, to open the tribute concert in a ballroom at the MGM Grand Las Vegas.
Mitchell, sitting at the front table, brought out the teenager in many of the older entertainers.
“When I first heard Joni Mitchell it was 1968 and I was 15 years old,” Cyndi Lauper, now 68, said. “I had never heard anyone sing so intimately about what it was like to be a young woman navigating this world.”
Lauper recited several of Mitchell’s lines that moved her most, before launching into “Magdalene Laundry” while playing mountain dulcimer.
“I don’t know how you do what you do, I just know I need it like food,” Meryl Streep said in a video message played for Mitchell and the crowd. “Ever since we were both young girls. We didn’t know each other, but you sang me into being. You sang my life.”

It’s a problem which has plagued Hartlepool United for much of the season but is no less frustrating for Graeme Lee.
Pools fell to defeat against Salford City with the Ammies scoring twice unanswered in the first half with Lee’s side lacklustre throughout.
But Corrie Ndaba’s opening goal midway through the first half was the ninth time in the last 10 league games in which Pools have conceded the opening goal, with the remaining game being a goalless draw with an out-of-form Leyton Orient.
It means Lee’s side, more often than not, are having to come from behind in order to claim any points, something which they can only continue to do so many times.
Of those 10 games, Pools have managed to return points in five with come-from-behind victories over Colchester United, Harrogate Town and Newport County and draws with Sutton United and Mansfield Town.
But Gary Bowyer’s Salford never looked like giving up their advantage as the Ammies went on to double their lead soon after through Jason Lowe’s stunning strike.
And Lee admits having to chase games is becoming tiresome while suggesting there are certain goals his side are conceding which are unacceptable.
“It’s infuriating,” Lee told The Mail.
“You get on the training field and you try and cut out set plays and do this or do that.
“I’ll accept someone hitting one from 35 yards but the first goal we spoke about last week, allowing someone to cut inside and link up and it’s the same thing again.
“They’re the little bits we keep talking about, the desire and the fight. We don’t get close enough to people and then we allow them inside. It’s things you don’t want to accept.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re battling relegation, battling for promotion or in our position, you don’t accept it, so there’s errors happening. And they’re the areas we need to improve on.
“It’s your mentality. If your mindset is not where it needs to be [you’ll struggle].
“They were more hungry. But you look at some of the other teams we’ve just played, all these teams who are in and amongst it are fighting for it and we look like a team who are not quite fighting for anything and that’s disappointing.” | 0 | 229 | 0.592757 | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/graeme-lee-disappointed-by-hartlepool-uniteds-lack-of-fight-in-salford-city-reverse-3638308 | 2022-04-02 17:28:50+00:00 | Graeme Lee disappointed by Hartlepool United's lack of fight in Salford City reverse
Graeme Lee was left disappointed with Hartlepool United’s lack of fight in their defeat to Salford City.
Pools were second best throughout the afternoon at the Suit Direct Stadium as they were comfortably beaten by Gary Bowyer’s side who extended their unbeaten run to 11 games.
Corrie Ndaba gave the Ammies the lead midway through the first half when he powered beyond Ben Killip before former Blackburn Rovers man Jason Lowe fired an unstoppable effort into the top corner nine minutes later.
And Lee’s side were unable to really threaten Salford as they limped to a fourth defeat on home soil this season.
“Everything I’ve spoken about wanting to be exciting and having nothing to lose and going for a bit of enjoyment on the pitch. That’s far from enjoyment on the pitch,” said Lee.
“There was a team on the pitch who were fighting for something and there was a team on the pitch who wasn’t. That was highlighted in the game.
“To enjoy games you’ve got to work hard and do the ugly side of the game. We were way off it all over the pitch today.
“As much as we talk about the season and how staying in the league was the main priority, yes it was and it’s been fantastic, but I don’t want these types of performances from now until the end of the season.
“It’s not enjoyable for the fans, it’s not enjoyable for the players on the pitch and it's definitely not enjoyable for us watching.
“What it does do is make you look at the squad of players and I wanted to get players on the pitch and have a look at people from now until the end of the season and them performances make it easier for me to do that.”
And on a day of disappointment, Lee believes the only positive was that his side were not fighting for relegation based on their efforts.
“Tony Sweeney said to me there was a positive and that was that it was a game we weren’t fighting relegation for.
“That performance wasn’t a must win game. If you were a team who were fighting for something and you perform like that then we’d be worried.” |

Graeme Lee accepts it has been a tough run for his Hartlepool United side but that should not prevent them from doing the basics in games.
Pools face the daunting task of coming up against the League Two leaders Forest Green Rovers this weekend after a challenging run of fixtures in recent weeks against teams all competing for promotion.
Last time out Lee’s side were soundly beaten by Salford City who eased to a 2-0 success at the Suit Direct Stadium and things couldn’t be more difficult on Saturday than with a trip to the New Lawn Stadium.
Pools are also set to host the league’s form team next week when Port Vale visit the Suit Direct Stadium but Lee insists these are the games his players should relish as they strive to compete themselves in League Two.
“It’s a tough run but it doesn’t mean you can’t fight and battle and do the basics of the game,” said Lee.
“We just sat off far too much [against Salford].
“The reaction I want to see is us being aggressive and on the front foot. We did the opposite and we sat off and that just invites pressure on.
“We can’t afford to do that on Saturday because we’re going up against Forest Green who are top of the league and are the best team in the league.
“They’ve got an exciting squad of players. And you want to get to that, with those types of players,” Lee added.
“We’ve seen we can do that to get good points on the board, we’ve just got to be consistent with it.
“The lads know they’re going up against the best in the league and they have to be on it. It’s a challenge for them and it’s one that I’m looking forward to.
“This is like when we went up against League One teams and we had to go and compete against them.”
Once again Pools can mathematically secure their League Two status this afternoon depending on results elsewhere but Lee insists regardless of what happens that is not an invitation for his players to switch off between now and the end of the campaign.
“You look where we are and what we’ve done and what we've come through but it doesn’t mean we stop. We have to keep going and we have to keep fighting,” said Lee.
“I said it before, we wanted to enjoy the end of the season but the enjoyment only comes if you’re doing the right things and working hard.
“I don’t think any of the players are thinking ‘we’re there, we’re over the line,’ they all know.
“Sometimes your mindset can just slightly be away from where it needs to be and if you get four or five in that mindset and you’re not quite on the front foot, your levels drop and that was highlighted on Saturday.
“It’s our job now to get back onto them and let them know we're fighting until the end of the season no matter what.” |

“They’re the little bits we keep talking about, the desire and the fight. We don’t get close enough to people and then we allow them inside. It’s things you don’t want to accept.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re battling relegation, battling for promotion or in our position, you don’t accept it, so there’s errors happening. And they’re the areas we need to improve on.
“It’s your mentality. If your mindset is not where it needs to be [you’ll struggle].
“They were more hungry. But you look at some of the other teams we’ve just played, all these teams who are in and amongst it are fighting for it and we look like a team who are not quite fighting for anything and that’s disappointing.” | 2 | 29,410 | 0.669808 | https://www.hartlepoolmail.co.uk/sport/football/paul-hartley-makes-honest-admission-after-hartlepool-uniteds-poor-start-to-the-season-continued-at-leyton-orient-3822006 | 2022-08-27 18:25:07+00:00 | Paul Hartley makes honest admission after Hartlepool United's poor start to the season continued at Leyton Orient
Paul Hartley admits his Hartlepool United side have not been good enough so far this season after suffering their fourth defeat in six league games against Leyton Orient.
The League Two leaders secured a 4-2 success over Pools who were plagued by a number of defensive errors throughout the afternoon, much to Hartley’s frustration.
Pools were behind inside five minutes after being undone by a ball over the top, which resulted in the returning Euan Murray being penalised for a foul on Charlie Kelman as George Moncur converted from the spot.
Pools did find an equaliser through Wes McDonald when he cleverly escaped the Orient defence to find the bottom corner on the half-hour mark, before Pools were again found wanting defensively with Kelman on hand to punish them seven minutes before half-time.
Things got worse for Pools shortly after the restart when Paul Smyth added a third after initially being denied by Ben Killip.

Josh Umerah gave Pools a glimmer of hope from the spot before Ruel Sotiriou re-established the O’s two goal advantage soon after with Hartley left to ponder another disappointing afternoon.
“We’ve not been good enough from the first game of the season,” said Hartley.
“We’re conceding too many goals. We’ve conceded the most in the league so that tells its own story.
“We’ve still got time in the window, we still want to try and reinforce the team and we have to.
“We cannot feel sorry for ourselves. We’ve got to stand up because this league won’t allow you to do that.” |

https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/kinder-surprise-eggs-recalled-over-23579790 | A chocolate favourite loved by kids has been urgently recalled over a risk of salmonella.
The Food Standards Agency launched a Kinder Surprise egg recall and are advising consumers not to eat certain products. It comes after a "outbreak of salmonella", the food safety chiefs said.
Italian multinational confectionery company Ferrero says it is "taking the precautionary action of recalling selected batches of Kinder Surprise". However, only products manufactured in Belgium are affected.
Read more: I tried Saltburn's top TripAdvisor rated restaurant - here's what I thought
The Kinder Surprise singular egg at 20g and the Kinder Surprise pack at 20g x 3 are impacted. All of the products with the best before date between July 11, 2022, and October 7, 2022, have been recalled.
The food alert states there is a "possible presence of Salmonella" and symptoms usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. "A number of these cases have been young children," the notice added.
Ferrero has ordered point of sale notices to be displayed in retail stores that are selling the product. These notices explain to customers why the product is being recalled and tell them what to do if they have bought the product.
The Food Standards Agency added: "The Food Standards Agency, along with Food Standards Scotland, are advising consumers not to eat certain Kinder products with best before dates between 11 July 2022 and 7 October 2022. This is in connection with a potential link to a salmonella outbreak. A number of these cases have been young children.
"Investigations, led by UKHSA, Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales and Public Health Agency Northern Ireland, have found a link between reported cases of salmonella poisoning across the UK and a specific product produced by the Ferrero company. In response to this, Ferrero has taken the precautionary step to undertake a product withdrawal and recall with immediate effect whilst investigations continue.
"The product thought to be affected have all been manufactured at the same factory. Other products manufactured by Kinder are not thought to be affected. To reduce the risk of any further illness, consumers should not eat the products listed in the recall alert and they/the parent or guardians of children should follow the risk advice within it.
"Symptoms of salmonellosis typically resolve themselves within a few days and include diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever. However, symptoms can be more severe and lead to hospitalisation, especially in the very young and those with weakened immune systems."
Tina Potter, FSA Head of Incidents, said: "We welcome the precautionary approach being taken by Ferrero and are advising consumers not to eat any of the products listed in the FSA alert. It is really important that consumers follow this advice to avoid the risk of becoming ill with salmonella poisoning.
“We know that these particular products are popular with young children, especially as Easter approaches, so we would urge parents and guardians of children to check if any products already in their home are affected by this recall.
"The food business involved has voluntarily carried out this product withdrawal and recall and we are working closely with them and their competent authorities to identify the precise cause of this outbreak. We are also working closely with UK and international partners including UKHSA and Food Standards Scotland.”
Dr Lesley Larkin, Surveillance Lead, Gastrointestinal Pathogens and Food Safety (One Health) at UKHSA, said: “We welcome the co-operation of Ferrero International S.A in instituting the recall and withdrawal of a number of confectionary products linked to an ongoing outbreak of Salmonella in the UK. We are working closely with the company as well as the Food Standards Agency, Food Standards Scotland, Public Health Scotland, Public Health Wales, Public Health Agency Northern Ireland and international public health and food safety authorities to ensure that the risk to the public is minimised.
“Symptoms of salmonellosis typically resolve themselves within a few days. However, symptoms can be more severe, especially in young children and those with weakened immune systems.
"Anybody with concerns that they have symptoms of salmonellosis should contact their GP or call NHS 111. Salmonella can be spread from person to person, so anyone affected should adhere to good hygiene practice such as washing hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and avoiding handling food for others where possible, if you have symptoms.”
The FSA added: "If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, please contact the Ferrero consumer care line on consumers.uk@ferrero.com or 0330 053 8943 UK or +44 (0)330 053 8943 Ireland to obtain a full refund."

The Food Standards Agency launched a Kinder Surprise egg recall and are advising consumers not to eat certain products.
Food chiefs say the recall comes after an "outbreak of salmonella" and that multinational confectionary company Ferrero says it is "taking the precautionary action of recalling selected batches of Kinder Surprise."

POPULAR chocolate treat Kinder Surprise has been recalled due to a salmonella risk.
Ferrero, the manufacturer of the product, took precautionary measures to recall the product over the weekend.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA), a government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food, released a food alert on Saturday April 2.
It announced that Ferrero is recalling selected batches of Kinder Surprise because of possible salmonella contamination.
The suspected products are the 20g and three pack of 20g Kinder Surprise eggs with best before dates between July 11 and October 7 2022.
It is thought that the contaminated batches are only those that originated in Belgium.
Customers with any of these are being urged not to eat them.
Instead, the FSA suggests customers contact the Ferrero consumer careline on consumers.uk@ferrero.com.
Alternatively, you can call Ferrero on 0330 053 8943 UK or 0330 053 8943 Ireland to obtain a full refund.
Point of sale signs will be placed in stores selling this product to explain the reasons behind the recall, and to advise what to do if customers have already bought one.

In a statement issued by Ferrero, it said: "Although none of our Kinder products released to market have tested positive for salmonella, and we have received no consumer complaints, we are taking this extremely seriously as consumer care is our top priority.
"We are working with retailers to ensure that these products are no longer available for purchase.
"We take matters of food safety extremely seriously and we sincerely apologise for this matter."
Symptoms of salmonella
Common symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
These usually begin six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days.
According to the NHS, salmonella infections don't often require treatment.
Instead, drinking plenty of water is recommended in order to replace the lost fluids from vomiting or diarrhoea.
But if symptoms become severe, it's always best to contact your GP immediately for advice.
Lidl recently recalled a savoury snack over salmonella risks too.
Elsewhere, two infants have died after bacteria infections linked to baby formula.
And dog food was recalled in February over salmonella fears, meaning pet owners were urged to check their products.

“Symptoms of salmonellosis typically resolve themselves within a few days. However, symptoms can be more severe, especially in young children and those with weakened immune systems.
"Anybody with concerns that they have symptoms of salmonellosis should contact their GP or call NHS 111. Salmonella can be spread from person to person, so anyone affected should adhere to good hygiene practice such as washing hands thoroughly after using the bathroom and avoiding handling food for others where possible, if you have symptoms.”
The FSA added: "If you have bought the above product do not eat it. Instead, please contact the Ferrero consumer care line on consumers.uk@ferrero.com or 0330 053 8943 UK or +44 (0)330 053 8943 Ireland to obtain a full refund."

POPULAR chocolate treat Kinder Surprise has been recalled due to a salmonella risk.
Ferrero, the manufacturer of the product, took precautionary measures to recall the product over the weekend.
The Food Standards Agency (FSA), a government department responsible for protecting public health in relation to food, released a food alert on Saturday April 2.
It announced that Ferrero is recalling selected batches of Kinder Surprise because of possible salmonella contamination.
It is thought that 57 people, mostly young children, have become infected with salmonella in an outbreak linked to Kinder Surprise eggs.
The suspected contaminated products are the 20g and three pack of 20g Kinder Surprise eggs with best before dates between July 11 and October 7 2022.
It is thought that the contaminated batches are only those that originated in Belgium.
Customers with any of these are being urged not to eat them.
Instead, the FSA suggests customers contact the Ferrero consumer careline on consumers.uk@ferrero.com.
Alternatively, you can call Ferrero on 0330 053 8943 UK or 0330 053 8943 Ireland to obtain a full refund.

Point of sale signs will be placed in stores selling this product to explain the reasons behind the recall, and to advise what to do if customers have already bought one.
In a statement issued by Ferrero, it said: "Although none of our Kinder products released to market have tested positive for salmonella, and we have received no consumer complaints, we are taking this extremely seriously as consumer care is our top priority.
"We are working with retailers to ensure that these products are no longer available for purchase.
"We take matters of food safety extremely seriously and we sincerely apologise for this matter."
Symptoms of salmonella
Common symptoms caused by salmonella usually include fever, diarrhoea and abdominal cramps.
These usually begin six hours to six days after infection and last four to seven days.
According to the NHS, salmonella infections don't often require treatment.
Instead, drinking plenty of water is recommended in order to replace the lost fluids from vomiting or diarrhoea.
But if symptoms become severe, it's always best to contact your GP immediately for advice.
Lidl recently recalled a savoury snack over salmonella risks too.
Elsewhere, two infants have died after bacteria infections linked to baby formula.
And dog food was recalled in February over salmonella fears, meaning pet owners were urged to check their products.

The 1% Tax That Has India’s Crypto Industry Predicting Chaos
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- When India’s government unveiled a plan to tax crypto assets in February, it was the 30% rate on income from digital-asset investments that grabbed headlines. But it’s a different levy that has the industry warning of a potentially destabilizing liquidity crunch.
Along with the capital gains charge, the finance ministry announced a 1% tax deductible at source, or TDS, on all digital-asset transfers above a certain size, starting July 1. No other country imposes such a tax on crypto, according to Anoush Bhasin, founder of crypto asset tax advisory firm Quagmire Consulting.
Crypto-exchange executives, lawyers and tax analysts warn that the TDS will suck liquidity out of the market by forcing high-frequency traders to dramatically curtail their trading. Combined with the government’s decision not to permit offsetting of trading losses in digital assets, it threatens to accelerate an exodus of crypto companies and workers from India, they say.
India Bans Offsetting Loss on One Crypto With Gain From Another
Nischal Shetty, chief executive officer of WazirX, India’s biggest crypto exchange, called the TDS “the worst-case scenario for the industry.”
“There will be no liquidity left in the markets,” said Manhar Garegrat, executive director of policy at crypto exchange CoinDCX. “Trades placed by buyers will not get executed as efficiently as they do today, and such inefficiency will eventually dwindle the whole ecosystem.”
Bleeding Talent
The tax package and the ban on offsetting losses — which only applies to crypto — represents the latest salvo by a government that still hasn’t clearly stated that it will allow cryptocurrencies. India, with an estimated 15 million active crypto users, has been stuck in regulatory limbo since the Supreme Court in 2020 overturned a central bank directive banning regulated entities from working with digital-assets companies.
Sandeep Nailwal, the co-founder of Indian blockchain startup Polygon, warned this month that thousands of developers, investors and entrepreneurs are decamping for more crypto-friendly destinations as a result of the uncertainty.
Crypto Brain Drain Is ‘Crazy’ in India, Polygon Co-Founder Says
When the government first unveiled the crypto levies, the announcement was met with relief because it was interpreted as a sign that there wouldn’t be an outright ban on cryptocurrency trading. That changed as the industry digested the details of the TDS.
Under the new regime, the buyer of a crypto asset must deduct the 1% TDS on behalf of the seller if a transaction exceeds 10,000 rupees (about $132). Smaller trades would also be taxed if they top a cumulative 50,000 rupees in a financial year, according to Bhasin.
Investors will be entitled to a refund if the total amount set aside for TDS during a fiscal year exceeds their overall tax liability for the period.
Capital Gets Choked
When done over a centralized exchange, it’s the bourse’s responsibility to deduct the TDS for a trade, Bhasin said. On a decentralized trading platform where the buyer and seller interact without an intermediary, people typically trade anonymously, which makes collecting TDS complicated.
While a capital gains tax reduces the appeal of crypto for investors, the TDS poses a threat to the very underpinnings of the market, critics say. India doesn’t impose such a levy on stock trading.
The typical high-frequency trader could see 60% of their capital blocked for TDS payments after just 100 trades, estimates Garegrat, who is also a member of India’s Blockchain and Crypto Assets Council.
“The way the tax has been worked out will lead to people moving out of the country,” said Dinesh Kanabar, CEO of Dhruva Advisors, a tax and regulatory advisory firm.
Speaking in the Lower House of Parliament on March 25, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the TDS will allow the government to track transactions and doesn’t represent an additional levy. But executives and experts counter that if that’s the sole intention, it could have been accomplished just as well with a much smaller rate without disrupting trading.
Like with decentralized exchanges, enforcing the TDS system will be almost impossible when it comes to offshore trading platforms, Garegrat said. So the tax will mainly serve to push trading off the locally-based exchanges over which the Indian government has the most visibility, he added.
The system gets even more onerous for traders in crypto pairs, like Bitcoin/Ether, according to Quagmire’s Bhasin. That’s because each trade involves two separate transactions — for example, buying Bitcoin from one counterparty, then selling it and purchasing Ether from another.
“At one stage you will liable to lose 1% because you are selling BTC and at the next step you will be liable to deduct 1% TDS because you are buying ETH from another seller,” he said. “The accounting will be super crazy for this.”

However, in the latest Union Budget, the Indian government has made crypto profits subject to tax deductions. A 30 percent tax has been taken into consideration to charge on all income from digital assets in the country. In addition to the crypto tax, the government has also planned a 1 percent tax deduction at source (TDS) that is coming into force from July 1. The plan to impose TDS is particularly facing criticism from Indian crypto exchanges and investors.
To discuss the impact of crypto tax alongside the planned TDS, Orbital host Akhil Arora speaks with Rajagopal Menon, Vice President of crypto exchange WazirX, and Gaurav Mehta, founder of crypto tax consultancy Catax.
Similar to the existing capital gains tax, the 30 percent crypto tax is meant to be charged on all gains from crypto assets. It has been in effect since April 1.
However, unlike the regular crypto tax, the one percent TDS is planned to be charged on all crypto transactions — not just the ones that generate profits. This is coming into place starting July, as I said earlier.
The government believes its TDS mechanism for crypto transactions will help track transactions and prevent tax evasion in the country. It also makes crypto exchanges liable for depositing the tax on behalf of sellers on their platforms.
Crypto exchanges are demanding the government to provide clarity on the implementation of TDS and reduce its rate.
"What this one percent TDS does is that it wipes out the trading market completely, because what happens is that after about 250–300 trades, it starts eating into your capital," Menon says.
The challenges that crypto exchanges and investors see due to the TDS — and other recent crypto regulations — have started resulting in an adverse impact on crypto trading in the country. Some Indian stakeholders have also started looking at overseas markets to retain their earnings from crypto assets.
"What the government is unfortunately doing is that because of all these regulations, you will never have an ecosystem around crypto in India," the WazirX executive underlines.
He also suggests that the ongoing regulations could impact innovation in the emerging crypto sector and areas including non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
However, Mehta argues since individuals were not paying taxes for their transactions for the last few years, the government had to bring the TDS into place.
"India is not at all a tax paying country," Mehta claims. "It's an individual habit to evade taxes wherein there would be a fiduciary duty or at least the responsibility of the exchanges to drive the revenues for the government via taxes."

Additional activities are planned as well during the month of October.
Museum members tour free while non-members pay a $5 entrance fee. Seniors (over 60) and students are discounted to $3. Entrance to the museum is free for all during the annual Pumpkintown Festival on Oct. 8. The event is sponsored by Denso Manufacturing, the Tennessee Arts Commission, McMinn County and the City of Athens.
The guild will be receiving quilts for the show on Thursday, Sept. 22, and Friday, Sept. 23, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, Sept. 24, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The entries are not limited to guild members and are open to the public, however, if you are not a member of the Heritage Quilt Guild, you will be limited to entering five pieces. Categories of entry are Applique, Modern, Small Pieced Bed, Large Pieced Bed, Mixed Technique, Miscellaneous, Group (where three or more people work on the project), Large Wall Hanging, and Small Wall Hanging (under 36 inches).
The show will begin Saturday, Oct. 1, at 10 a.m., and end on Saturday, Oct. 30, at 4 p.m. A judging of quilts will lead the event with an awards ceremony scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 1. Awards will be first, second, third place and honorable mention. Awards will be given in all categories. Superlative categories will be recognized with Judge’s Choice, Best of Show, Best Handwork, Long Arm Quilted, Sit Down Long Arm Quilted, and Viewer’s Choice. There will also be a Guild Challenge award for guild members only.
A lecture will be given by Kathleen Rountree on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 6 p.m., entitled “A Joyful Journey: From the Bear’s Claw to the Best in Show.”
She will share her triumphs and failures while she learned to detail antique linens, laces, tablecloths, and hankies. Rountree has spent a lifetime quilting and has found this unique style of quilting using decorative linens to be very rewarding.
Rountree is a classical musician and a university professor. She is also an internationally-noted fiber artist and quilter. Her works have received recognition at national and international shows. She is active in festivals and competitions across the country. She has also had the opportunity to judge rather than compete and she makes quilts to be donated to people in need.
On Wednesday, Oct. 12, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., she will lead a class called “Upcycle Your Vintage Table Linens.” This class is for those who have old linens like table scarves or handkerchiefs with lace edgings who would like to create something useful from them. She will teach participants how to make a new creative piece using the old piece.
If you are planning to take the classes, there is a supply list at the museum that needs to be picked up when you register for the class. Supplies include a standard sewing machine, pins, and scissors. The cost is $35 for non-members and $30 for museum members.
Marilyn Hoenie will teach a “Mystery Quilt” class on Saturday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The class is a beginner-friendly project where a wonderful quilt made of six basic blocks will be taught. There are new techniques that the experienced quilter will learn during this class. She will be teaching each block completion throughout the class. Everything for the whole quilt will be cut and you will be able to finish at least one of the 12” blocks.
Hoenie is a local quilter and apparel seamstress, plus a pattern designer and teacher. She has created theater and dance costumes and has over 40 years of sewing, quilting, and crating experience. She is an award-winning quilter and has experience selling sewing/embroidery machines. She may be able to teach you something new about your machine!
There is a supply list at the museum for this class that describes how to choose your fabric for this project along with many other instructions. You will also need a sewing machine and other basic supplies. The cost for this class is $35 for non-members and $30 for museum members.
The museum did its first quilt exhibit in 1984 and holds one of the largest antique quilt collections in the Southeast region with more than 150 quilts. We published a book in 2018, “Stories Among the Threads,” available at the museum which highlights a part of our own collection including the history of two quilts connected with our heritage at the museum.
The applique quilt named “Feathered Star” created by Sara Ross Wilson is used as our logo and is featured on the book cover.
The second one is the School House Quilt adopted by us in 1989 as our signature quilt to represent the former McMinn County High School where we currently reside. Sarah “Sallie” Moore is the creator of the quilt. |

Entries will be accepted from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Aug. 30, Sept. 2, 3 and 6 and 6-8 p.m. Sept. 6 at the museum. There is no entry fee.
The quilt show is a popular way to display prized quilts and other quilted pieces, such as table runners and wall hangings, and entries can be vintage quilts inherited from loved ones as well as newly constructed quilted items. In 2021, nearly 50 entries were on display. Admission to the quilt show is free.
Open to allCash prizes will be awarded to the top three entries as determined by the popular “piggy bank votes.” Each quilt is assigned a number, and the public can vote for their favorites by putting money in the appropriate bank. Prizes are $75, $50 and $25.
Museum volunteer Eileen Sebastian, an accomplished quilter, plans to enter some of her pieces this year. One is done in the kaleidoscope pattern, and the other is wall hanging in an African violets pattern in which the flowers are three-dimensional by use of yo-yos, fabric circles with the edges turned under and secured with a running stitch. “You make the yo-yos and then you cinch up the yo-yos to make the petals,” Sebastian said.
Sebastian started quilting in the 1990s. “I always wanted to quilt,” she said. “It’s relaxing, it’s calming — most of the time. It can be frustrating when you get a knot in your thread or you have to rip out a seam because you put it in wrong!”
Anyone is welcome to submit a quilted piece for display in the quilt show. “We’re looking for more participants,” said Barbara Davis, another museum volunteer and a member of the Quilt Show Committee. “You don’t have to live in Greenback to enter.”
In addition, raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each at the museum, which is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, or from any museum volunteer. Funds raised will go toward the Hardware Building Restoration Project for the new Greenback Heritage Museum Building. First prize is a bee-themed quilt and sham donated by Terri Ayers at Mountain Creek Quilt Shop; second prize is a vintage bowtie quilt donated by museum volunteer Cindy Benefield that was hand pieced and quilted by her aunt, the late Elsie (Penny) Lewis; and third prize is a Longaberger basket filled with sewing notions. Museum volunteer Jennifer Hedrick said, “The basket will have quilt patterns, fabrics, thread — and maybe some chocolate. Every creative person needs chocolate!”
The winning tickets will be drawn at 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10.
This is the museum’s 11th quilt show. The event is designed as a way to introduce the community to the holdings of the Greenback Heritage Museum, established in 2006 in downtown Greenback. Visitors can find documents, books, pictures, farm tools, household items, telephones, antique radios, business equipment and more from the 1800s and early 1900s. The Greenback Heritage Scrapbook, a compilation of documents, pictures, newspaper clippings and articles covering the history of the area from around 1800 until recent times, is available. Three local history books are sold at the museum: “A Place Called Greenback” by Edwin Best; “Busselltown” by Henry Molter; and “The Greenback I Remember” by Judy Franklin Hudson.
Admission to the museum is free. For information, visit the website at www.gbhistorical.webs.com. |

Actor Mel Gibson had nothing to say Friday night after Fox News host Jesse Watters asked him about the Will Smith incident.
Gibson was interviewed as part of his promotional efforts for his new film “Father Stu” when Watters steered the interview to Sunday’s incident at the Oscars in which Smith slapped Chris Rock
Gibson had just finished a segment of the congenial interview devoted to a discussion of the rampant egotism of modern America when Watters shifted ground.
“You understand it probably better than a lot of people, with your career,” said Watters.
“I was wondering if, you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock, if you would have been treated the same way, Mel?” he said

Gibson pointed his finger at the camera and shook his head, appearing to laugh as his audio cut out.
A female voice off-camera replied for Gibson, saying, “Hello, Jessie? Thank you. That’s our time.”
The Fox News host gave it one more try, asking “Have you ever thought about that?”
The unseen voice then intervened
“Thank you, Jesse. That is our time.”

On Friday, Smith officially resigned as a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences due to the incident.
“My actions at the 94th Academy Awards presentation were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home,” he said in a statement, according to Variety.
“I am heartbroken. I want to put the focus back on those who deserve attention for their achievements and allow the Academy to get back to the incredible work it does to support creativity and artistry in film,” he said in the statement.

The Academy has a meeting planned for April 18 to discuss how to handle Smith, who for now keeps his Oscar and the right to be honored by the Academy, but no longer is considered a voting member.
The Screen Actors Guild has also issued a statement saying that it “will work to ensure this behavior is appropriately addressed.”

Mel Gibson’s interview ended awkwardly after he was asked a question about Will Smith.
The actor and director talked about his new movie, Father Stuwhen the conversation turned to the incident in which Smith slapped Chris Rock during the 2022 Oscars ceremony last Sunday, March 27.
Fox News host Jesse Watters commented, “You probably understand it better than a lot of people, with your career. I was wondering if, you know, you would have jumped out of your seat and slapped Chris Rock in the face if you had been treated the same way, Mel.”
Gibson can be seen smiling and pointing at the camera. It was obvious that he wanted to avoid a media blast. His publicist’s voice can be heard saying, “Hey Jesse, thanks, our time is up.”
Watters tries one more time and asks, “Did you ever think of that?” However, Gibson’s publicist repeats: “Thank you, Jesse. Uh, our time is up.”
In what became one of the most talked about moments in Oscar history, Smith slapped Rock onstage after the comedian made a joke about his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith. The incident occurred after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head. She has openly commented in the past about her alopecia diagnosis.
Smith went on to win the Best Actor award for king richard at the arrival ceremony, he received a standing ovation from many celebrities in the crowd.
The actor, following criticism, resigned as a member of the Academy, but also faces disciplinary action.
He also offered an apology to Rock, and the comedian commented during his first show on stand up since the incident on Wednesday, March 30 that “still processes” what happened.
In 2006, Gibson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Malibu and making anti-Semitic comments to a police officer, for which he later apologized, saying the comments were “made in a moment of insanity.”
According to a police report, Gibson asked the officer if he was Jewish and exclaimed, “Fucking Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”
The actor was blacklisted in Hollywood for a short time, but, in 2017, he was nominated for Best Director for Hacksaw Ridge, starring Andrew Garfield. |

- Mel Gibson's handler shut down an interview with Jesse Waters after the Fox News host asked about Will Smith's slapping Chris Rock onstage at the Oscars
- 'If you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock... would you have been treated the same way?' Watters asked the veteran actor
- An off-screen female voice cut in at that point, telling Watters that Gibson's time was up as the actor grimaced and awkwardly shook his head
- Gibson is no stranger to onstage conflict - in 2016, he was heckled by Golden Globes cohost Ricky Gervais for his 2006 DUI arrest and previous antisemitism
Mel Gibson's handler abruptly shut down an interview with Jesse Watters on Friday after the Fox News host asked the veteran actor, who is no stranger to onstage conflict, about the confrontation between Will Smith's and Chris Rock at the Oscars.
'You understand if probably better than a lot of people, with you career,' Watters led in, deviating from an on-air conversation about the two-time Oscar winner's upcoming film, 'Father Stu.'
'And I was wondering if, you know, you had been the one that jumped up out of his seat and slapped Chris Rock, if you would have been treated the same way. Mel?'
Gibson points his finger into the camera, grimaces and shakes his head, then waves his other hand.
'Hello, Jesse? Um, thank you, that's our time,' cuts in a female voice from off-camera.
Gibson continues to smile awkwardly, looking sideways off-camera and then into his lap. But Watters pressed further.
On Friday, Jesse Watters tried to get commentary from veteran actor Mel Gibson on Will Smith's and Chris Rock's altercation at the Oscars ceremony - but was quickly shut down by the actor's handler
The interview aired about an hour after Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, saying he will accept any further consequences from the Academy's board for slapping Rock onstage at the Oscars

'Have you ever thought about that?'
'Um, I'm - thank you, Jesse,' the female voice responds. 'Uh, we - that is our time.'
Gibson keeps his gaze lowered until Watters thanks him for his time, to which Gibson looks back up and waves.
'Well, Mel, thank you very much for joining Jesse Watters Primetime. We really appreciate it,' Watters said.
The interview aired about an hour after Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, saying he will accept any further consequences from the Academy's board for slapping Rock onstage at the Oscars ceremony.
After Oscars presenter Rock cracked a joke about Smith's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head at Sunday's ceremony, saying that she could star in 'GI Jane 2', Smith stormed the stage and slapped the comedian.
In a statement, the best actor winner for 'King Richard' said his actions 'were shocking, painful, and inexcusable. The list of those I have hurt is long and includes Chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance, and global audiences at home.'
The Academy held an emergency board meeting of its governors on Wednesday to begin a formal review process of Smith's conduct.
Disciplinary action could include anything from forcing him to hand back his Oscar to the most severe punishment - suspension from the Academy - which would put Smith among the ranks of Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby, who were both expelled for sexual misconduct.
The board is scheduled to meet again on April 15 to determine additional consequences.
Gibson experienced a tense onstage experience at 2016's Golden Globes ceremony - although it didn't come to blows - when co-host Ricky Gervais brought up the Braveheart actor's 2006 DUI arrest and previous antisemitic comments.
As Gibson took to the stage to present an award, Gervais said: 'What the f*** does sugart**s even mean?'
Gibson experienced a tense onstage experience at 2016's Golden Globes ceremony when co-host Ricky Gervais brought up the Braveheart actor's 2006 DUI arrest and previous antisemitic comments
After being pulled over by a female police officer a decade ago, the Braveheart actor reportedly said: 'What do you think you're looking at, sugart**ts?'
He also allegedly asked the arresting officer whether she was Jewish, exclaiming 'f***ing Jews... the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.'
Then, in July 2010, Gibson's girlfriend at the time Oksana Grigorieva recorded him in phone conversations in which he allegedly used both racial and homophobic slurs.
'You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n*****s, it will be your fault,' he said to her in one recording.
His career in the aftermath of these incidents cooled down, with the actor taking small roles in films including The Expendables 3 and Machete Kills.
As Gervais signed off at the end of the show - referencing Gibson's anti-semitic comments - he said: 'From myself and Mel Gibson, Shalom.' |
