By NICOLE WINFIELD Associated Press ROME (AP) — Italy could soon reclaim a record that nobody wants — the most coronavirus deaths in Europe — after the health care system again failed to protect the elderly and the government delayed imposing new restrictions. This wasn't supposed to happen. Italy was the first country in the West to be slammed by COVID-19 and, after suffering a huge wave of death in spring, brought infections under control. Italy then had the benefit of time and experience heading into the fall resurgence because it trailed Spain, France and Germany in recording big new […]

Boris Johnson has been warned that a further relaxation of restrictions over Christmas could trigger another wave of coronavirus infections. NHS Providers, which represents health trusts in England, has told the prime minister in a letter to exercise 'extreme caution' when making the decision to move any areas into a lower COVID-19 tier. The coronavirus tier system is due to be reviewed on Wednesday, two weeks after it was first imposed following England's national lockdown in November. NHS bosses say areas which need to be moved into Tier 3 should be done so 'as soon as this is needed, without any delay'. It comes ahead of a UK-wide relaxation of social distancing rules for Christmas, allowing up to three households to get together in homes and places of worship between 23-27 December. While NHS Providers stopped short of calling for this relaxation to be scrapped, the letter did ask the prime minister to set out the risks of increased contact over Christmas. Speaking to Sky News, NHS Providers CEO Chris Hopson said health workers are 'really worried', adding that due to a surge in COVID-19 patients and a rise in infection rates, hospitals are facing a difficult period. 'Any extra social contact equals virus spread,' he said. 'We all want to get together, but we need to ensure we look at the evidence. Although we've made some good progress… the reality is the progress we've made as a whole is at the lowest end of expectations. 'We've got to keep going with these tough restrictions over winter… we cannot take risks'. NHS bosses are concerned that the UK could follow in the footsteps of the US, which experienced record coronavirus-related hospitalisations and infections following Thanksgiving, when millions of families got together to celebrate. A government spokeswoman said ministers will not 'hesitate' to take actions where needed, adding that decisions are made based on the latest available data. 'We have introduced strengthened local restrictions to protect the progress gained during national restrictions, reduce pressure on the NHS and ultimately save lives,' the spokeswoman said. 'On top of our record NHS investment, this winter we are providing an extra £3bn to maintain independent sector and Nightingale hospital surge capacity and a further £450 million to upgrade and expand A&Es.' - Sky News
Algeria's President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said Sunday he was recovering from the Covid-19 illness, in his first televised appearance since he was hospitalised in Germany almost two months ago.
\"Thanks to God... I have started on the road to recovery,\" the 75-year-old said a day after the first anniversary of his election.
\"It may take two or three weeks but, God willing, I will recover all my bodily strength.\"
The video was broadcast on state television and published on Tebboune's Twitter feed.
He did not indicate his location, but the Twitter feed carried the comment \"we will meet soon on the territory of the nation\".
Tebboune was hospitalised in Germany on October 28, and Algerian authorities later announced that he had the Covid-19 illness.
His absence had sparked concerns of an institutional crisis, weeks after voters approved a revised constitution on record low turnout in a referendum widely seen as a manoeuvre to neutralise the long-running Hirak protest movement.
Tebboune has been unable to sign the revised constitution into law because he must be on Algerian soil to do so.
He also has until December 31 to sign off on a 2021 budget.
But he said Sunday he was following developments in Algeria \"day by day, if not hour by hour\".
Visibly thinner and wearing a casual jacket, he sat at a desk next to an Algerian flag.
Tebboune won last year's widely boycotted December 12 presidential election, following months of mass protests that had swept his predecessor Abdelaziz Bouteflika from office
By NOMAAN MERCHANT, ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and MARK SHERMAN Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has rejected a lawsuit backed by President Donald Trump to overturn Joe Biden's election victory, ending a desperate attempt to get legal issues rejected by state and federal judges before the nation's highest court and subvert the will of voters. Trump bemoaned the decision late Friday, tweeting: 'The Supreme Court really let us down. No Wisdom, No Courage!' The high court's order earlier Friday was a stark repudiation of a legal claim that was widely regarded as dubious, yet embraced by the president, […]
