Coronavirus: Pressure grows on Japan and IOC to cancel Olympics – BBC News
As national media fangirls over Andy Burnham’s TikTok persona, we ask what the new prime minister is doing right online.
Is social media now the ultimate test of a politician’s authenticity, and could cosying up to influencers set a dangerous precedent in terms of transparency and accountability for those in positions of power?

Two crew members have been killed after two helicopters collided mid-air in Greece while battling wildfires.
A Danish pilot and a Greek fire service liaison officer lost their lives. A British pilot and another Greek co-ordinator on the second helicopter survived.
Video of the incident some 65 km (42 miles) west of the capital Athens shows one of the two Bell helicopters hitting the rotors of the other, which bursts into flames and crashes in a ravine. The other aircraft made an emergency landing.
Wildfires have broken out in Greece this week, leading to mass evacuations. Other European states, including France and Spain, have also suffered devastating blazes during prolonged heatwaves.
The two leased Bell helicopters collided while taking part in efforts to tackle a large wildfire burning on the Attica-Boeotia border.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed his “deepest sorrow” over the accident.

Late at night, police are called about a man behaving strangely with heavy suitcases on a bridge in Bristol.
When officers arrive minutes later, he has vanished – but the suitcases are revealed to contain human remains.
The bridge is closed, a crime scene is erected, and a manhunt begins as investigators discover a twisted tale of sex, lies, and murder.
This video contains some upsetting scenes.

The UK’s prison population today is about 86,500 and there are about 2,400 spare places. Overcrowding has caused chaos across prisons and the courts.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has now changed the incoming early release scheme for some prisoners in England and Wales, to exclude rapists and some other offenders.
So – what other solutions are there to the increasing pressure facing the system? And can the UK look for ideas from abroad?

President Putin’s order to call up another 300,000 soldiers to fight in Ukraine is being met with widespread protests.
Reports have circulated on social media of people with no military experience being drafted, as well as others who are too old or have disabilities.
Thousands of Russian men have been heading for the country’s borders as they attempt to evade conscription.

Poor Abe my ass! Japan never wanted the games in the first place. Now they are banning foreign spectators under the muse of Covid-19.
This will only make them look more xenophobic not less. This is not what the games are supposed to be about.
Keeping other countries from supporting their athletes & country isn't right. Do what other venues are doing to limit spectators. Your isn't helping itself here. :/

Japan.. How dare you tried to insist on Olympic to deceive the virus and make the world suffer. Only think of money money money. How can Japanese not protest on this gov? Abe has seized the power longer than prime minister in China.. worse than communism.

japan is the country for its royal family and some elite politicians not for the ppl.
they think it doesn't matter how many civilians die because they believe that they can keep the empire if the royal family and some elite politicians r safe.
the moto of japan during the WW2 was "die for the king!"
i was surprised when i found out some western ppl think it is COOL. 🙂

Abe had threatened every japanese and peoples around world by hiding everything for corona virus in japan. At least 20 times the cases they reported to WHO.

The Rising Sun Flag and the Nazi Flag were also used before and during the war. The Japanese Olympic Games were allowed to use the Rising Sun Flag. By changing positions, what do you think of the Nazi Flag coming out at the Olympics?

Poor Abe!! All the lies, sacrifices, and the money he pour into this Olympics! 😂
I hope Japan would start counting the real number of COVID-19 victims now.

I hope they do. It's a horrible idea if they go on with it. Even the healthy athletes would die.

Abe don’t care about Olympics or japan. What’s important for Abe is its his personal accomplishments. All about stupid pride. Congratulations Abe you blew away non refundable 30 billion dollars.
