India, UK to Resolve CoWIN Certification Row

By 762 0

The UK government has clarified its position on Covishield, stating that the major concern is vaccination certification, not the vaccine itself. Alex Ellis, the British High Commissioner to India, indicated that all sides are in talks to address the issue.

“We’ve established that Covishield isn’t a concern. The UK is welcoming to visitors, and we’ve already seen a large number of visitors from India, whether they’re tourists, businesspeople, or students “According to Ellis. He went on to say that India and the United Kingdom “have been having deep technical discussions regarding certification, with the builders of the CoWIN and NHS apps, about both apps.”

More than 62,500 student visas were issued “in the year ending June 2021,” according to the UK High Commissioner to India, a nearly 30% increase over the previous year. According to UK regulations, Indian travellers who have received both doses of the Covishield vaccine produced by the Serum Institute of India (SII) are considered unvaccinated and must complete a 10-day period of self-isolation.

Georgian Chess Icon Sues Netflix for Queen’s Gambit Portrayal

By 801 0

Nona Gaprindashvili, a Georgian chess legend, has sued Netflix for defamation, alleging that she was misrepresented in the hit series The Queen’s Gambit.

The case is based on a scene in the final episode of the drama in which Gaprindashvili, aged 80, claims he has never played competitive chess with males. According to the paper, she had faced at least 59 male players by 1968, the year in which the incident is set. The claim was dismissed by Netflix as having “no merit.” Gaprindashvili and her “illustrious career” were treated with “only the utmost respect” by the corporation, which promised to “vigorously defend the case.”

The Queen’s Gambit is based on Walter Tevis’s 1983 novel and follows Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon, a fictitious chess player. The series premiered last year and was dubbed “Netflix’s biggest limited scripted series ever” by the streaming service.

Italian village where cats disappear; Police to investigate the mystery

By 802 0

A special police team has been deployed to investigate the disappearance of cats from an Italian village. Hundreds of cats have gone missing this summer from a village in the Santa Maria del Piano area near Lesignano de’ Bagni in the northern Italian province of Parma.

Luana Giusti, a veterinarian in the area, said there had been complaints of cats going missing since the end of May and that complete information on them had been kept.

In the past few weeks, locals say more than 50 cats have gone missing from homes and public places in the area. Most of the missing are domestic cats.

Authorities believe the cats were stolen, not for sale. Because none of the missing cats are valuable or of the higher species. Cats have not been found dead or injured in road accidents.

A few years ago, a man was caught stealing cats from a nearby area to be used to train hounds. But police say he has no role in the current incident. A team of Italian police, Carabinieri, Forestry Police and local police have launched an investigation into the mysterious sighting of the cats.

By 828 0

Italy says it will begin administering a third dose of Covid 19 immunizations by the end of this month. Health Minister Roberto Sperenza said the third-dose vaccination would give priority to those with the weakest immune system, including cancer patients and transplant recipients.

Speaking to reporters at the end of a two – day meeting of G20 health ministers in Rome, Roberto Sperenza said the country was ready for a third dose of vaccination. Prime Minister Mario Draghi has said that compulsory vaccination is under consideration as protests against vaccination intensify in the country. The government is discussing the possibility of this, he said.

With the delivery of the third dose, the greenpass requirements will be further expanded. Greenpass is a digital certificate for those who have been vaccinated, those who have had a Covid test negative and those who have survived a Covid infection. Greenpass is now mandatory for dining inside restaurants, traveling long distances, and attending cultural and entertainment shows. It will also be extended to workplaces, officials said.

By 2179 0

Protest against the controversial move to use drone technology to measure the temperature of seafarers.

As the Covid expansion continued, the controversial project was intended to be implemented off the coast of Ostia, near Rome. The move by the local health authority was to use drones to assess the body temperature and distance of those who come to bathe in the sea for relief in the harsh summer.

The drones were used to measure people’s body temperature from a height of not less than 25 meters from the water level and not less than 30 meters from people. Massive protests erupted in Rome against the project. Protesters said it was an invasion of people’s privacy and called for an end to such practices. But due to the bad weather in the last few days, the controversial decision has been suspended.

Pope Francis has said he will not resign and will lead a “normal” life after surgery. The pope, who underwent intestinal surgery on July 4, was responding to a news in an Italian newspaper claiming he might resign on his 85th birthday in December. The surgery was to relieve the difficulty caused by the contraction of the intestine.

The incision was made 33 cm from the intestine. He said he could eat anything now and that it was not possible before. The pope said he had been treated with antibiotics and had been advised by a male nurse at the Vatican to perform the surgery, which saved his life.

He ruled out the possibility of resigning, saying he was “almost certain” to attend a climate change conference in Glasgow in November. He will visit Hungary and Slovakia from 12 to 15 this month. There may also be trips to Cyprus, Greece and Malta.
