Lebanon hit by electricity outage expected to last several days | Lebanon | The Guardian

Lebanon has no electricity after the country’s two biggest power stations shut down because of a fuel shortage, a government official has said.

The power outage will continue for a few days, the official added.

“The Lebanese power network completely stopped working at noon today, and it is unlikely that it will work until next Monday, or for several days,” the official said.

Russia reports record daily Covid death toll as Kremlin shrugs off new lockdown | Russia | The Guardian (Me: Covid-19 death cult stupidity appears to be nearly universal.)

Rosstat on Friday revealed the latest data showed more than 254,000 deaths of people with Covid-19 in the first eight months of this year compared with 163,000 deaths of patients who had the coronavirus for the whole of 2020.

The coronavirus taskforce only counts the deaths of patients for whom Covid-19 was considered the main cause. Rosstat includes people who had Covid-19 but died of other causes, and those for whom coronavirus was suspected but not confirmed.

The Kremlin has shrugged off the idea of imposing a new nationwide lockdown, delegating the power to tighten restrictions to regional authorities. In some areas of the country, including Moscow and St Petersburg, life remains largely normal, with businesses operating as usual and mask mandates loosely enforced.

Russians flock to Serbia for Western-made COVID-19 vaccines | Euronews

When Russian regulators approved the country’s own coronavirus vaccine, it was a moment of national pride, and the Pavlov family was among those who rushed to take the injection. But international health authorities have not yet given their blessing to the Sputnik V shot.

So when the family from Rostov-on-Don wanted to visit the West, they looked for a vaccine that would allow them to travel freely — a quest that brought them to Serbia, where hundreds of Russian citizens have flocked in recent weeks to receive Western-approved COVID-19 shots.

Serbia, which is not a member of the European Union, is a convenient choice for vaccine-seeking Russians because they can enter the allied Balkan nation without visas and because it offers a wide choice of Western-made shots. Organised tours for Russians have soared, and they can be spotted in the capital, Belgrade, at hotels, restaurants, bars and vaccination clinics.

“We took the Pfizer vaccine because we want to travel around the world,” Nadezhda Pavlova, 54, said after receiving the vaccine last weekend at a sprawling Belgrade vaccination center.

Her husband, Vitaly Pavlov, 55, said he wanted “the whole world to be open to us rather than just a few countries.”

Covid: Anti-vax protestors intimidate teen outside jab centre – BBC News

A 15-year-old girl and her mum say they were intimidated by anti-vax protestors outside a Covid vaccination centre.

Grace Baker-Earle, who uses a wheelchair after contracting Covid, was confronted after receiving the jab at Cardiff’s Bayside mass vaccination centre.

Her mum Angela said protesters accused her of using Grace “as a lab rat”.

South Wales Police said officers attended a protest in the area at 10:50 BST and remained in attendance.

The force said no arrests had been made.

The vaccine has been offered to 12 to 15-year-olds in Wales since 4 October.

Sua Luz Ainda Brilha?

Reverso Literal

As horas que se passam nos dias que se vão
As noites em claro que passará não irão
E se fossem não voltariam atrás
Tudo seguirá conforme for
Ninguém realmente quer paz
Muitos ainda sonham com o amor
Agora diga nunca
Nunca irá dizer adeus
Mais uma noite de segunda
Outras vez roubaram os sonhos seus
Assim é o que sempre será
Não procure o que não quer encontrar
Pois você sempre vai achar
E no fim se perder em algum lugar

Sonhe nunca alcance
Deseje nunca almeje
Lute nunca se mexa
Fique aí sentado saboreando uma ameixa
Nada vai mudar se não houver quem mude
Tudo continuará igual
Aprenda a deixar de lado aquele que só te ilude
Talvez consiga um melhor final

Sua versão mais nova sentiria orgulho de você?
Sua versão mais velha ainda pode sonhar?
Você ainda quer viver?
Há motivos para se orgulhar?
Como está…

Witness the reconciliation that Canada has in store for Indigenous people

They are blatantly threatening violence against our people and clearly do not care who sees or knows. They relish it. This is what these CIRG officers live for. Remember they applied to be a part of this group specifically designed to remove Indigenous people out of the way of industry. The same group that are invading at Fairy Creek and Tiny House Warriors frontlines.

LANDBACK Friends

The following video showing the CIRG (Community-Industry Response Group) is very disturbing. All signs indicate yet another invasion of Wet’suwet’en lands.

RCMP ENTER COYOTE CAMP

The CIRG (Community-Industry Response Group) have been into Coyote Camp everyday. Yesterday they came in and were violent towards our Yintah security, joked about genocide and that they can’t wait to see it on social media.

We also have reports from the ground that the officers are hiding their identities, not showing or giving badge numbers and from the video we can see are not wearing masks or practicing social distancing.
