Cocooning Offaly farmer strikes up unlikely friendship with wild fox during lockdown

AN IRISH farmer has struck up a surprising new friendship with a wild fox during lockdown. Farmers and foxes have, historically speaking, never really seen eye to eye. That certainly used to be the case for retired dairy farmer Tony Bergin. But things changed just over two months ago when the 90-year-old was ordered to stay indoors at his home near Roscrea as part of the government’s strict measures for halting the spread of coronavirus. Lockdown has proven a trying time for everyone, especially those forced to cocoon at home away from their immediate family and friends. Advertisement Tony, however, soon found himself in good company, as RTE reports. At some point during those early, uncertain, weeks a wild fox began paying him regular visits. Over time, an understanding and, eventually, friendship developed between the pair. Now, most evenings after dinner, the 90-year-old heads out to his yard to catch up with his pal. After a few whistles, Tony is able to coax his furry companion out for a bite to eat. The…

George Floyd and Derek Chauvin worked security together at a restaurant for at least a year, owner says

Before Derek Chauvin was filmed kneeling on George Floyd's neck on a Minneapolis street, they worked together at a nightclub not far from where the incident happened. Chauvin was fired as a Minneapolis police officer after he held Floyd down as Floyd protested "I can't breathe." Protests have since broken out around the 3rd Minneapolis Police Precinct — which is just a block away from the El Nuevo Rodeo restaurant and dance club where Chauvin and Floyd once worked security. Maya Santamaria, who sold El Nuevo Rodeo a few months ago, tells Minneapolis ABC affiliate KSTP that Chauvin "was our off-duty police for almost the entirety of the 17 years that we were open." Floyd also worked at the club for around a year, but as a bouncer, Santamaria said. However, the two men were unlikely to have recognized each other because "Chauvin worked outside and the security guards were inside," Santamaria continued. Maya Santamaria, a business owner, says both Derek Chauvin and George Floyd worked at her South Side nightclub;…

Katsvairo given stern warning

HIGHLANDERS have given a stern warning to newly-recruited veteran forward Michelle Katsvairo for his May 11 breach of lockdown rules imposed by the Government and Bosso. The former Chicken Inn, Kaizer Chiefs and Ngezi Platinum Stars forward was seen in the company of Rodrick Mutuma, who now plies his trade in the DR Congo, attending a social football match in Harare’s Budiriro suburb. Bosso described the breach as ‘unfortunate’ and conducted investigations to establish the authenticity of the allegations. “The manager engaged Katsvairo, who said he was not heavily involved as suggested, but was watching from a distance. Nevertheless he was given a strong warning and told to observe lockdown procedures,” said Highlanders’ media relations officer Ronald Moyo. Sports and recreational activities were banned under lockdown regulations and players and spectators in that social game were in breach.

Trump 'terminates' U.S. relationship with WHO, blames China for 'covering up' coronavirus spread

President Trump gave a Friday press conference that didn't even touch that day's biggest topic. On Friday, Trump announced that he was withdrawing U.S. support from the World Health Organization, reshuffling America's $450 million annual contribution to the WHO to other health groups. Trump went on to criticize China for allegedly covering up the beginnings of the coronavirus pandemic, and claimed the WHO had allowed that cover-up to happen. While Trump had previously praised China for its "transparency" during the COVID-19 crisis, on Friday he suggested a unfounded conspiracy in which the coronavirus "didn't go to Beijing." Trump then noted that China gives $40 million to the WHO compared to the U.S.'s $450 million, but claimed without proof that the organization is controlled by China. The move leaves the WHO without its largest financial backer, The Associated Press reports. Trump left the conference without taking any questions from the press, which would've presumably been about the ongoing protests in Minneapolis…

Bulk-buying solving COMESA Intra trade amidst COVID-19 woes

Since the first case of Covid-19 was reported in the Great Lakes region in mid-March 2020, small scale traders have been unable to cross borders as they have traditionally done either to buy or sell goods. The regional supply of primary agricultural commodities, most of which are traded under the Simplified Trade Regime (STR), especially foodstuffs from surplus to deficit areas has also been disrupted by the long delays at borders as truck drivers wait to be tested for Covid-19 before crossing. To support cross border trade, which is the lifeline of a huge community in the region, the Great Lakes Trade Facilitation Project (GLTFP) engaged stakeholders to come up with innovative means of trading across the borders of the three countries covered by the project. These innovations are meant to ease the movement of goods and avoid food shortages. The project region covers eastern DR Congo bordering western Rwanda and Uganda. Subsequently, a new concept of bulk-buying has been developed whereby goods are procured in…

Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton slam Trump for 'calling for violence against American citizens'

Democratic standard bearers Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton didn't mince words on Friday, slamming the president over tweets that threatened violence against protesters in Minneapolis who are demanding justice after the police killing of George Floyd.

SACRAMENTO – (INT) - The Education Coalition, comprised of the nine statewide K-12 education associations that work to advocate for the six million students in California’s public schools and colleges, urged California’s lawmakers to adopt a funding solution to the COVID-19-related budget crisis in the June budget.
