A series of Trump campaign ads that ran briefly this week featured a photo of protesters assaulting a police officer to represent “chaos and violence” in the United States, but it turns out the photo was actually taken several years ago during the 2014 Ukrainian revolution.

Government ‘actively monitoring’ ways to obtain vaccine – Ireland

Ms Canavan said Ireland has signed “expression of interest” letters with two separate mechanisms.

One is a joint EU approach to Covid-19 procurement to ensure coordinated action at European level to protect public health and achieve optimal management of Covid-19 through vaccination.

FEMA head says coronavirus hot spots may face PPE shortages

Local officials have criticized federal efforts to procure essential protective equipment for health-care workers on the front lines of the pandemic, saying they’ve been placed into a competition among states, private entities and the U.S. government for critical supplies.

Gaynor told the committee that FEMA is still competing for the equipment, saying that other countries, governors, mayors and tribal leaders are searching for the same supplies. The U.S. doesn’t manufacture most of the supplies but instead relies on countries in Asia, including China and Vietnam, to produce the equipment, Gaynor said.

“It’s a national security issue,” he testified. “PPE and life saving equipment is just as important as building an aircraft carrier. We need to have that capacity here in the United States. We cannot rely on peer competitors to manage our destiny.”
