HIGH Court judge Justice Tawanda Chitapi has deferred the ruling on a bail application by incarcerated journalist Hopewell Chin’ono to tomorrow. BY MIRIAM MANGWAYA Chin’ono is in custody at Chikurubi Maximum Security Prison on charges of defeating or obstructing the course of justice. He was last week denied bail by Harare magistrate Marehwanazvo Gofa, who stated that the journalist had the “propensity to commit other offences”. In their appeal against the ruling, Chin’ono’s lawyers Beatrice Mtetwa, Gift Mtisi and Doug Coltart yesterday argued that Gofa erred in denying their client bail. Chin’ono is on bail on another charge of inciting public violence.

Major League Baseball made the announcement Friday, writing that -- with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic -- the annual game between the American League and the National League wouldn't be possible this year.
The Los Angeles Dodgers were supposed to host the game this year, but will now host in 2022 instead.
\"I want to thank the Dodgers organization and the City of Los Angeles for being collaborative partners in the early stages of All-Star preparation and for being patient and understanding in navigating the uncertainty created by the pandemic,\" said Baseball Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. in a statement. \"The 2022 All-Star celebration promises to be a memorable one with events throughout the city and at picturesque Dodger Stadium.\"
This is not the first time the All-Star game, also known as the Midsummer Classic, has been canceled. In 1945, the game was canceled amidst strict travel restrictions during the war.
The MLB season is scheduled to resume later this month -- on either the 23rd or the 24th -- and players reported to training camp this week. Typically, the season would have started in late March or early April, but the coronavirus made that impossible.
There will be some changes to the season, though, most notably the lack of roaring fans and the ban on spitting.

PARIS (AP) — Ravers at an underground, curfew-busting New Year’s Eve party that drew at least 2,500 people in western France attacked the police sent to shut them down, torching one police vehicle and injuring officers with volleys of bottles and stones, officials said Friday. Ravers aboard hundreds of vehicles started converging on a hangar in Lieuron, Brittany, on Thursday night to party into the New Year, the regional government said Friday. It said police were attacked when they tried to stop ravers from installing their party gear. On Friday morning, 2,500 ravers from France and abroad were still partying, circled by a reinforced police presence, the regional government said. Prosecutors are looking at an array of possible criminal charges. The party also took place despite France’s 8 p.m.-to-6 a.m. nationwide curfew aimed at dissuading public gatherings during the pandemic. Party-goers, however, appealed for understanding after months of nightlife-destroying lockdowns and curfews designed to limit coronavirus infections. A volunteer with an aid group that was distributing masks, anti-virus gel and health advice inside the techno party said ravers needed to let loose. He said ravers are trying to stay safe by not sharing joints or drinks. Their group, Techno +, was advising partygoers to self-isolate for a week and then get tested after attending the rave. The group also said the disused hangar was airy and well-ventilated. France has reported more than 64,000 virus-related deaths since the start of the pandemic. - AP
