By 577 0

Two Belarusian coaches are being investigated for allegedly attempting to coerce an athlete to return home from the Tokyo Olympics.

After criticising her trainers, Krystsina Tsimanouskaya claims she was transported to the airport in Tokyo against her will. After expressing concerns about her safety, the athlete was given police protection and later granted refuge by Poland. The International Olympic Committee and the World Athletics Federation have launched a “formal procedure” into the matter.

The inquiry against the two coaches, who had their Olympic accreditations revoked and were withdrawn from the Games, will be conducted by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU).

Switzerland also allows same-sex marriage

By 554 0

Switzerland allows same-sex couples to marry and adopt. Sixty-four percent voted in favor of a referendum seeking permission to amend the law.

Switzerland has become the 29th country in the world to legalize heavenly marriage and one of the last countries in Western Europe. Although same-sex couples have so far had civil registration permission for their partnership, this did not give a partner with foreign citizenship equal rights to marriage, including obtaining Swiss citizenship and joint adoption of children.

The law will come into effect from July 1 next year. While the Catholic Bishops’ Conference opposed the law reform, the Protestant Church supported the referendum.

EU Demands Universal Charger for Phones

By 531 0

According to a new rule proposed by the European Commission, manufacturers will be required to develop a universal charging solution for phones and small electronic devices (EC).

The goal is to reduce waste by encouraging people to reuse their old chargers when purchasing a new gadget. According to the plan, all smartphones sold in the EU must include USB-C chargers. Apple has stated that such a move would be detrimental to innovation. Apple’s iPhone series has an Apple-designed “Lightning” connector, making it the most popular smartphone with a unique charging port.

“We continue to be concerned that tight regulation mandating only one type of connector stifles rather than encourages innovation, harming consumers in Europe and around the world,” the company told the BBC. It went on to say that by 2030, it wants every Apple device and usage to be carbon neutral.

Dutch Boy Wins Right for Covid Jab

By 618 0

Despite his father’s concerns, a 12-year-old child in the Dutch city of Groningen has won a legal battle to get vaccinated against Covid-19 so that he can visit his dying grandma.

A judge concluded that the vaccination would lessen his risks of infecting the woman, who has advanced cancer. Vaccines have been approved for Dutch children aged 12 to 17, however children under the age of 17 require the consent of both parents. Vaccine scepticism is on the rise in the United States.

The boy should be vaccinated as soon as possible, according to Groningen District Court Judge Bart Tromp, because his interests were more essential than his father’s fears. Judge Tromp dismissed the boy’s father’s claims that immunizations were “in the testing phase” and presented hazards to reproductive organs, claiming that they lacked scientific support. While children were less likely to become extremely ill as a result of the infection, he warned that they could have long Covid.

India, UK to Resolve CoWIN Certification Row

By 518 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 523 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 534 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.
