ANGELA Merkel Reversed Her threat To Ban Brits From Holidaying In Europe

The German leader climbed down from needs for obligatory EU-wide quarantine having been snubbed via tourism hotspots.

Speaking at a press conference alongside the PM at Chequers, she said: "We are continually reviewing our travel restrictions.

"In the foreseeable future those who have received double jabs will be able to travel again without having to go into quarantine.

She added: "We adopted certain defensive measures when we were not as yet so acquainted with a Delta variant.

"We now see the share of the delta variant in Germany is growing very rapidly."

Boris replied: "That's magnificent and that's right, it sounds as though growth is being made."


The visit is Mrs Merkel's twenty second to Britain and last as Chancellor after sixteen years at the helm in Berlin.


Ahead of the talks both sides agreed to rebuild relations which have been strained by 5 years of Brexit tensions.


In a major olive branch on the eve of the meeting Mrs Merkel announced she's set to ease tour curbs on Brits entering Germany.


The UK will be downgraded from a "virus region of concern" - the highest bracket of restrictions - to one of "high incidence".


That will reduce the obligatory quarantine visitors from the UK have to examine from two weeks to as little as 5 days.


The move is an admission from Berlin that it failed in its bid to get all EU countries to impose 14-day isolation on Brits.


Health minister Jens Spahn stated it is additionally a recognition the Delta variant is now nearly as widespread in Germany as it is in the UK.


Mediterranean countries inclusive of Spain, Portugal, Malta, and Greece sunk Berlin's call for an outright ban on Brits.


Boris is expected to talk about the travel situation with Mrs Merkel today, with talks on how to reopen vacation trips for the double-jabbed ongoing.


Ahead of her visit the PM said: "The UK and Germany have a steadfast friendship and a shared outlook on many issues.

Officials from Ukraine and abroad report that the spouse of the country's top military intelligence officer is hospitalized due to what appears to be heavy metal poisoning. Western officials have been suspicious from the start that Russian agents may have paid off a staff member to carry out the poisoning. Marianna Budanova is the wife of Kyrylo Budanov, whose military intelligence agency GUR has been heavily involved in Ukraine's efforts to drive Russia from its territory. According to test results, Ukrainian Defense Intelligence staff members have also become ill, and Ukraine is looking into the matter, said agency spokesman Andriy Yusov. Chief of the toxicology division at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Dr. Edward Boyer, stated that it is impossible to determine the likelihood that any of the victims were purposefully poisoned without knowing more about the test results and patient history, including symptoms and possible food exposure.

After a jury convicted him guilty of lying to police about being the victim of a hate crime, Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in prison. After fabricating false claims about the hoax attack, the former Empire star, 39, was convicted guilty of five counts of felony disorderly conduct in December. The punishment also includes 30 months of probation and restitution and fines totaling $145,000 (£110,000). "I did not do this!" Smollett exclaimed after the sentence. The case came from a three-year-old incident in which Smollett said he was attacked by two people. While walking late at night in January 2019, the actor, who is black and gay, alleged the attackers shouted racial slurs and a Trump slogan at him, dumped a "chemical substance" on him, and tied a noose around his neck. Authorities launched an investigation, but Smollett was charged with filing a fake police complaint in February of that year, stating he orchestrated the incident. Last year, a jury of si...

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Vote Casting Restrictions

Angel
Image
 The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld balloting restrictions in Arizona in a decision that could make it more difficult to challenge other voting limits put in place by Republican lawmakers following last year's elections. The court, by a conservative-majority 6-3 vote, reversed a lower court ruling in determining that Arizona's rules on who can return early ballots for another individual and for the state's refusal to count ballots cast in the wrong precinct are not racially discriminatory. The federal appeals court in San Francisco had held that the measures disproportionately affected Black, Hispanic and Native American voters in violation of a part of the landmark Voting Rights Act regarded as Section 2. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the conservative majority that the state's interest in the integrity of elections justified the measures. The court rejected the concept that displaying that a state regulation disproportionately affects minority voters is sufficient t...

The Residence Of Prince Andrew's Accuser In The United States Is At Stake In Her Sex Abuse Case Against Him.

In a court filing, Virginia Giuffre's legal team called Prince Andrew's lawyers' decision to halt her lawsuit a "transparent attempt to postpone discovery into his own records and evidence." The Queen's second son has been accused of sexual assault, which he denies. Lawyers for the woman who has accused Prince Andrew of sexual assault have dismissed allegations that her lawsuit against him cannot proceed because she is not a US citizen. The Duke of York's lawyers demanded last week that the legal lawsuit against him in Manhattan be postponed or dismissed since his accuser, Virginia Giuffre, lives in Australia. She is claimed to have spent all but two of the previous 19 years there. In a court statement on Thursday, Ms Giuffre's team described Andrew's lawyers' decision to halt the lawsuit as a "transparent attempt to postpone discovery into his own records and evidence." Ms Giuffre, formerly Virginia Roberts, has accused Andrew of for...
