Russia appears confident amidst coronavirus outbreak

By 1086 0

Russian president Vladimir Putin, it seems, is eager to show the world that nothing much has changed in his country due to the coronavirus outbreak.

He has confidently attended several official functions scheduled, at the time his counterparts in Europe have chosen to remain private as possible.

Behind the confidence, there is an unsaid reality. All those who have been allowed to interact with the Russian President have been tested thoroughly for the disease.

Russia, though at present far behind its counterparts in the continent of Europe in terms of its effort to eliminate the virus, has introduced several measures to prevent the spread of the disease.

What Mr. Putin shows is simply politics. It is not that he is less bothered about the outbreak. It is only that he wants to give an impression that he and his country is confident in this juncture more than any of their counterparts in the continent.

By 1113 0

The Spanish soldiers have found certain elderly people, who died of Covid-19, abandoned in their care homes.

It is shocking how irresponsibly the workers in the care homes have behaved. As per a preliminary assumption, the workers have fled to safe locations when they have found that some of the inmates have been infected.

The Spanish government has asserted that they would take the matter seriously and would give special care to make sure such a circumstance does not arise in future.

Spain is one of the worst affected regions in Europe. Last day alone, over 462 persons died in the country due to the coronvirus outbreak. In total, not less than 2,182 people have died in the country due to the virus outbreak.

Earlier, the World Health Organisation said that the continent of Europe was the epicentre of the virus – which had originated in the Asian country of China few months ago.

The world is at present in a crucial juncture. If people have a strong will, the world can easily overcome this crisis.

IOC to decide fate of Olympics soon

By 1033 0

Soon, the International Olympic Committee is set to decide the fate of the 2020 Olympics and Paralympic Games – which is scheduled to commence on 24th July, 2020.

Several countries have expressed their concern about the Olympics on the wake of the virus outbreak. Some countries have requested the IOC to postpone the Olympics.

Notably, Canada has withdrawn from the Olympics.

There is a chance that other countries – particularly those who have been affected severely by the virus outbreak – follow the path paved by Canada.

The IOC is expected to decide the fate of the 2020 Olympics – which is scheduled to take place in the Asian country of Japan – within the timeframe of four weeks.

As per a latest report, the IOC is not happy with the request seeking the postponement of the Olympics. Anyway, the IOC has not made an official comment about the issue yet.

It is clear that the IOC is under severe pressure to postpone the Olympics.

It was expected that the 2020 Olympics would be the most colourful Olympics. Tokyo started way early to make the event memorable.

It is unfortunate that the efforts made by Japan struggle to meet its fructification for a reason which is not in control of the country – as strange as the outbreak of a disastrous disease.

German conducts raids to contain Neo-Nazi movement

By 1075 0

The European country of Germany, which is the successor of the dangerous Nazi Germany, has conducted raids in several locations across the country to contain the activities of a group linked to the Neo-Nazi movement.

Expressing his dissatisfaction towards the Neo-Nazi movement, a senior German minister has conveyed the country’s resolve to fight against the disastrous movement rightly.

The group is said to be very powerful in certain pockets in the country. It is said to have not less than 19,000 members in Germany.

During the raids, several documents – which indicate the group’s connection with the Neo-Nazi ideology – and firearms have been seized from the premises possessed by the group.

It is not the first time such a serious raid has been conducted across Germany to check the activities of the far-rightist group which is linked to the Neo-Nazi ideology.

Recently, a gunman, inspired by the corrupted ideology preached by the aforesaid group, attacked many people, who were nor completely German.

The rise of the Neo-Nazi group in Germany brings back the haunting memories of the Nazi Germany, which brought disaster in the entire Europe – rightly speaking, the entire world.

What Germany attempts at this moment is a well-thought-out move to counter the rebirth of the dangerous ideology.V

By 1212 0

New Zealand has revoked the law that criminalises the medical process of abortion, respecting the demand made by the women community of the country.

That means the medical process of abortion is no longer a crime in the country of New Zealand.

With an astounding support of 68 votes against 51 votes, the New Zealand parliament has passed the law seeks the abolition of the law prohibits abortion.

What the parliament has materialised with the passage of the law is the longstanding demand of the women community of the progressive country of New Zealand.

The passage of the progressive law is the victory of New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden, who is the representative of the progressive community of the developed country of New Zealand.

The latest development in the country of New Zealand is expected to attain an enormous global attention.

It is hoped that the progressive action made by New Zealand will encourage many countries like this country to follow this progressive precedent.

Abortion is a serious political as well as a social issue. It has many facets to address from its political side to its social side.

It is yet to see how the people of the country react to the intuitive taken to do away with the law which has been active since the year 1977.

Earlier, it was suggested that a referendum needed to be done to know the opinion of the people of country in the matter of abortion. Later, for some reasons known only to the elites of the New Zealand administration, that proposal was cancelled.
