Coronavirus update: India on Sunday reported its highest single day spike of 38,902 cases and 543 deaths. The caseload rose to 1,078,782, according to Health Ministry.
India’s Covid-19 fatality rate is “progressively falling” and is currently at 2.49 per cent, which is one of the lowest in the world, the Union Health Ministry said on Sunday, crediting efficient clinical management of hospitalised cases for it.
With a surge in Covid-19 cases in Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, and Odisha, the Union health ministry has asked these states to make renewed efforts to suppress the transmission of the virus and keep the case fatality rate below one per cent. Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday confirmed community spread occurring in two coastal villages in the capital city, Thiruvananthapuram.

Shamima Begum is pictured wearing jeans, shirt and a blue hat as she walks through refugee camp

Jihadi bride Shamima Begum faces being arrested on terror charges when she returns to the UK as she is pictured wearing jeans, a shirt and a blue hat while walking through a Syrian refugee camp after winning a bombshell High Court victory.  Begum, who left to join IS five years ago when she was 15, had been stripped of her British citizenship after she was found, nine months pregnant, in a Syrian refugee camp in February last year, and was previously pictured wearing a black burka. But yesterday she won a legal challenge after judges ruled she had not been granted a ‘fair and effective’ appeal. They said she should be allowed to return for a fresh hearing in a bid to overturn the Home Office’s decision.   When she does return to the UK, Begum is likely to be arrested and questioned before being charged with terror-related offences, as reported by The Daily Mirror. Yesterday, Downing Street said it was ‘bitterly disappointed’ by the ruling and Sajid Javid, the fo...

Joe Biden, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Barack Obama all have their Twitter accounts HACKED

Image
High-profile Twitter accounts including Barack Obama, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Joe Biden, Uber and Apple have been hacked in an internal breach that is believed to be one of the largest social media attacks ever. Hackers claimed to have paid one or more Twitter staff for access to internal systems which allowed them to hijack the accounts and post tweets asking users to send them Bitcoin. Around 300 people were duped by the tweets, sending $1118,000 to the hackers before Twitter took the tweets down and then locked all verified accounts to stop the breach spreading further. In total, the attack lasted for four hours. Security experts said it is ‘extremely lucky’ that the hackers only appeared interested in Bitcoin, and warned the accounts of powerful politicians could easily have been used to ‘sow mass chaos all over the world’.  Many of the hacked accounts belonged to prominent Democrats, with Donald Trump and other high-profile Republicans seemingly unaffected – though the ext...

Trump’s outrageous refusal to lead is making the pandemic worse

Image
Trump’s refusal to use his full powers of his office and the government to confront the worst domestic threat since World War II is looking more negligent, callous and politically self-defeating with each virus ravaged day that passes. This week, as states such as Florida, Texas and Arizona have set records for coronavirus infections and intensive care units and morgues have filled up, has exposed the willful blindness of a White House that seems bio-sealed from the reality of the pandemic. “We believe this President has great approval in this country. His historic Covid response speaks for itself,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Thursday, encapsulating the bizarre parallel universe of an administration that thinks one of the most disastrous government failures of the modern age is a roaring political success. McEnany on Thursday praised US testing and the push for vaccines and therapeutics — which have as much to do with the innovation of the US pharmaceutical i...
