With an unexpected additional year of preparation under their belts, more than 11,300 athletes from 207 nations will compete over the next couple of weeks, all vying to get their hands on the medal they've worked so long for. When the Games were postponed in March 2020, organizers said the Olympic flame "could become the light at the end of the tunnel". With the Covid-19 pandemic still raging worldwide, that metaphorical tunnel is still being traversed, but Friday's opening ceremony offers a glimmer of that light. "I think it will be a moment of joy and relief when entering the stadium, a moment of joy in particular for the athletes because I know how much they are longing for this moment," said International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach. "Then they can finally be there, they can enjoy this moment under very special circumstances." Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

More than a dozen cities in Henan province, including its provincial capital Zhengzhou, are affected. Footage circulating online shows people wading in chest-high levels of water on roads and at train stations. President Xi Jinping said on Wednesday the "flood prevention situation was very severe" and at a "critical stage". He added that the floods had already resulted in "significant loss of life and damage to property", and instructed all departments to prioritise "the safety of people and their property", according to state news agency Xinhua. Henan province, home to about 94 million people, has issued its highest level of weather warning. Local authorities called the floods a "once in 100 years" event. Some 700 passengers in Zhengzhou are also said to have been trapped on a train for at least 40 hours, according to local media reports. They were reportedly provided food at first but this is now said to be in low supply. The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou Hospital also briefly lost power on Tuesday night, though this has now been restored, said a statement on Weibo by the Zhengzhou Municipal Party Committee. It added that 600 critically ill patients had been transferred to another location. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted Biden and Merkel 'united against Russia aggression' The US and Germany will stand together against Russian aggression, President Joe Biden said as he welcomed outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel to Washington. Mr Biden said he had voiced concern to Mrs Merkel over a Russia-to-Germany gas pipeline, but they agreed Moscow cannot be allowed to use energy as a weapon. The US president said the two allies also opposed anti-democratic actions by China. Mrs Merkel, who has worked with four US presidents, is leaving office. "We stand together and will continue to stand together to defend our eastern flank allies at Nato against Russian aggression," Mr Biden told Thursday's joint news conference with Mrs Merkel. He acknowledged the two did not see eye to eye on the nearly complete $11bn (£8bn) Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline. The White House has said it will be used by Russia as leverage over Ukraine and other neighbours. "Good friends can disagree," said Mr Biden, who recently waived sanctions against Nord Stream 2. The US president also said: "We will stand up for democratic principles and human rights when we see China or any other country working to undermine free and open societies."

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted Covid: WHO urges China to co-operate better in virus origin probe The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has urged China to be more co-operative with the WHO's second phase of the investigation into the origins of Covid-19. Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called for more access and transparency. The first phase of the WHO's investigation ended in February. It concluded that it was highly unlikely that the virus came from a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and that it probably originated in bats. Speaking in Geneva on Thursday, Dr Tedros said the WHO needed access to raw patient data from just before and the start of the pandemic this time around. China did not share this data with the WHO team during the first investigation, he added. The WHO's emergency committee said that new and more dangerous variants were expected to spread around the world. Committee chairman Didier Houssin said "we are still running after this virus and the virus is still running after us". Coronavirus-linked deaths in Africa surged by 43% in the space of a week, driven by a lack of intensive-care beds and oxygen, according to the W H O. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted Uyghurs: US Senate passes bill to ban Xinjiang imports The US Senate has passed a bill to ban imports from China's Xinjiang region, in response to alleged abuses of the mostly Muslim Uyghur minority group. The legislation would create an assumption that goods manufactured in Xinjiang are made with forced labour, unless proven otherwise. The Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act must pass the House of Representatives before it can be signed into law.The US has already banned imports of Xinjiang cotton and tomatoes. The Chinese state has been widely accused of human rights abuses in Xinjiang against the Ugyhurs and other Muslim minority groups. Experts estimate at least a million people in the region have been detained in camps or imprisoned as part of a crackdown that began in 2017. Many thousands more who are not detained are subject to extensive surveillance and state control. The US bill, which passed by unanimous consent on Wednesday, means that importers of products from the region will have to prove the goods were not made with forced labour.

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted Germany floods: At least 20 dead and dozens missing after record rain At least 20 people have died and many more are missing following severe floods in western Germany, police say. The worst of the flooding has been in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia, where buildings and cars have been washed away. Two people have also died in neighbouring Belgium, while the Netherlands has also been badly hit. It follows record rainfall in parts of western Europe that has caused major rivers to burst their banks. Malu Dreyer, chief of the Rhineland-Palatinate state, described the flooding as a "catastrophe". "There are dead, missing and many people still in danger," she said. "All of our emergency services are in action round the clock and risking their own lives."

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted South Africa looting: Government to deploy 25,000 troops after unrest The South African government plans to deploy 25,000 troops after days of widespread looting and violence. The military deployment - to counter riots sparked by the jailing of former President Jacob Zuma - is the biggest since the end of apartheid. At least 72 people have died and more than 1,700 have been arrested in South Africa's worst unrest in years. Hundreds of shops and businesses have been looted and the government says it is acting to prevent food shortages. Citizens are arming themselves and forming vigilante groups to protect their property from the rampage. More than 200 incidents of looting and vandalism were recorded on Wednesday, the government said, as the number of troops deployed doubled to 5,000. But Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said she had submitted a request for the deployment of 25,000 soldiers to the two provinces hit by violence - KwaZulu-Natal, where Durban is located, and Gauteng, which includes Johannesburg.

The figure is the highest daily total Singapore has seen in 10 months, Some 41 cases have been linked to these lounges, which typically see hostesses interact with customers.

A total of 54 cases have now been traced back to at least three karaoke lounges - making it Singapore's largest active cluster. All three have been temporarily closed.

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted Korindo: Korean palm oil giant stripped of sustainability status A Korean palm oil giant has been rejected from the world's leading green certification body in the wake of a BBC investigation. The BBC had earlier found evidence that the Korindo group had been buying up swathes of Asia's largest remaining rainforests in the remote Indonesian province of Papua. A visual analysis suggested that fires had then been deliberately set to these forests, a clear violation of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The regulator's tree logo - found on paper products throughout the UK and Europe - is meant to tell consumers the product is sourced from ethical and sustainable companies. At the time of the BBC's investigation late last year, the FSC said they would not expel Korindo but were working with the Korean company to address social and environmental problems. But now the green body says the relationship has "become untenable" and Korindo's trademark licenses with FSC will be terminated from October. "We were not able to verify improvements in Korindo's social and environmental performance," Kim Carstensen, FSC international director general said. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate Iranians 'plotted to kidnap US, Canada and UK targets' Four Iranian nationals have been charged with plotting to kidnap a New York-based journalist, the US Department of Justice says. The indictment did not name the target, but Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-born author, says it was her. The conspirators, described as intelligence officials, also allegedly plotted to lure a person in the UK and three others in Canada to Iran. All of the targets had been critical of Iran, says the Manhattan indictment. Prosecutors said the Iranian government had sought to lure the New York-based journalist to a third country where the abduction was planned. The plotters even offered money to the writer's relatives in Iran to betray the target, which they refused to do, the indictment contends. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate US warns businesses over China's Xinjiang province The US has issued a tough new warning to companies about doing business in China's Xinjiang province. American firms that still have supply chain and investment ties in the region were told they "could run a high risk of violating US law." Washington cited evidence of genocide and other human rights abuses in Xinjiang. China has denied previous allegations that the region's Uyghur population has been subjected to human rights abuses. The Xinjiang Supply Chain Business Advisory was published jointly by the State Department, Treasury, Commerce, Homeland Security, Labor and the Office of the US Trade Representative. "Businesses and individuals that do not exit supply chains, ventures, and/or investments connected to Xinjiang could run a high risk of violating US law," said the updated advisory, which was first released in July last year. In a press statement, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the document noted that the Chinese "government is perpetrating genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang".

Guo Gangtang's son had been snatched aged two by human traffickers in front of their home in the province of Shandong. His son's disappearance actually inspired a movie in 2015, which starred Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau. Child abductions are a big problem in China, with thousands taken every year. According to China's Ministry of Public Security, the police were able to trace the son's identity using DNA testing. Two suspects were later tracked down and arrested, said a Global Times report. The suspects, who were dating at the time, had planned to kidnap a child with the intention of selling him for money, said a report by China News. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate Iraq hospital fire: Protests as Covid ward blaze kills more than 60 More than 60 people have died after a fire in a coronavirus isolation ward at a hospital in the Iraqi city of Nasiriya.

The cause of the fire at the al-Hussein hospital is unclear, but reports said it began after an oxygen tank exploded. Iraqi PM Mustafa al-Kadhimi ordered the arrest of the head of the hospital. State media put the death toll at 64, with nearly 70 others injured. The speaker of the Iraqi parliament, Mohammed al-Halbousi, tweeted that the blaze was "clear proof of the failure to protect Iraqi lives, and it is time to put an end to this catastrophic failure".

Almost 800 people have been arrested in the unrest which began as protests following Zuma's jailing on Thursday. But protests turned violent over the weekend, with fires set, highways blocked and businesses looted. The military has now been deployed to help the overstretched police Police Minister Bheki Cele told journalists on Tuesday that, if the looting continued, there was a risk areas could run out of basic food. However, Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said there was not yet a need to declare a state of emergency over the violence in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng provinces. KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala said some 26 people had been killed in the province so far, including a 15-year-old boy, EWN reports. Six deaths have been confirmed in Gauteng, news agency AFP says. Officials have accused some groups of taking advantage of the anger over Zuma's imprisonment to commit criminal acts, while others have said anger over unemployment and poverty are fuelling the chaos. The 79-year-old, who denies corruption, was given a 15-month prison sentence. He handed himself to police late on Wednesday. He is hoping to get the sentence rescinded or reduced by the country's constitutional Court. However, legal experts say his chances of success are slim. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate Cuba protests: Thousands rally against government as economy struggles Thousands of Cubans have joined the biggest protests for decades against the island's Communist government. They marched in cities including the capital Havana, shouting, "Down with the dictatorship!". Images on social media showed what appear to be security forces detaining and beating some of the protesters. Cubans have been angered by the collapse of the economy, as well as by restrictions on civil liberties and the authorities' handling of the pandemic. The protesters were demanding a faster coronavirus vaccination programme after Cuba reported a record of nearly 7,000 daily infections and 47 deaths on Sunday. Last year, Cuba's largely state-controlled economy shrank by 11%, its worst decline in almost three decades. It was hit hard by the pandemic and US sanctions. President Miguel Díaz-Canel said the protests were a provocation by mercenaries hired by the US to destabilise the country. Like | Share | Comment | Subscribe

#TheDailyUpdate Healthy Rapid Weight Loss Program 2021! https://www.smoothiediet.com/program/?hop=trusted EU increases pressure on Hungary over LGBT law EU pressure on Hungary has intensified over a new law banning the depiction or promotion of homosexuality for the under-18s. MEPs are expected to vote shortly for a resolution urging the EU to speed up legal action over Hungary's law. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the law was "a disgrace" which contradicted "basic EU values". Hungarian PM Viktor Orban hit back, saying school policy was a matter for Hungary, not "Brussels bureaucrats". "Whatever they do, we will not allow [LGBT+] activists into our children's kindergartens and schools," he said. The EU has the power to reduce budget allocations to a member state seen to have breached the EU's rule-of-law standards. Critics say the law equates homosexuality with paedophilia and EU leaders have voiced strong criticism, with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte arguing last month that Hungary "has no business being in the European Union any more".
