During his Covid-19 remarks on Thursday, President Biden will "outline the next step in the fight against the virus," according to the White House. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the President would "be specific about what we're trying to accomplish" while meeting with his Covid-19 team "to talk about a range of steps," noting that she was speaking while the President was meeting with his Covid-19 team "to talk about a range of steps." "He'll announce six initiatives to stem the spread of Delta and increase vaccines tomorrow," Psaki said during a press conference in the afternoon. "What these six measures would do," she claimed Biden will explain. "We know that increased vaccinations will slow the pandemic's progress and bring it under control." We'll get people back to normal. "Just note that what you're going to hear from the President tomorrow is going to build on some of the s

Britney Spears' father has filed paperwork in a Los Angeles court to terminate his 13-year conservatorship of her life and finances. "This court now carefully evaluate whether this conservatorship is no longer warranted," Jamie Spears wrote. In the previous two years, she has attempted to remove him from his position twice. The pop artist has called their relationship "abusive" and has refused to perform for him. Her father's court motion comes two months after the Toxic singer testified in front of the court, demanding that the conservatorship be lifted immediately. "Recent occurrences linked to this conservatorship have brought into question whether circumstances have altered to the point where grounds for establishing a conservatorship may no longer exist," the filing to the Los Angeles Superior Court reads. "Ms Spears has told this Court that she wants control of her life back without the safety net of a conservatorship," the petition

On Wednesday, MPs will vote to enact a historic £12 billion healthcare levy, raising the tax burden to a post-World War II high as Boris Johnson puts his political career on fixing the country's ailing health and care systems. Johnson readily admitted that the 1.25 percentage point increase in national insurance contributions (NICs) – to be rebadged a health and social care charge – would violate an explicit manifesto commitment when laying out the daring idea for a carved-alone healthcare tax. Downing Street, on the other hand, is betting that framing the proposal as a response to the Covid epidemic, with a focus on reducing the NHS backlog, would persuade voters that it is required. "I'll be very honest with you: this levy will be in violation of our manifesto vow." "A global epidemic, on the other hand, was not in our manifesto," Johnson added. He wouldn't rule out more tax hikes later in the legislature. Labour leader Keir Starmer slammed the ideas a

Since the start of the school year, at least 1,000 schools in 35 states have closed for in-person learning due to COVID-19, according to Burbio, a New York-based data organization that tracks K-12 school closing patterns. The company's tracker shows that schools have been closed for range from one day to several weeks. For the time being, the majority of students have switched to online study. Others were forced to close without warning. According to Burbio, a small percentage of students postponed the start of school or switched to hybrid learning. The increased number of closures coincides with a fight in schools over mask requirements and an increase in pediatric COVID-19 infections, mostly due to the extremely contagious delta form. President Joe Biden's administration stated late last month that it is looking into five states that have banned districts from requiring children to wear masks, claiming that such rules violate the civil rights of children with disabilities and

Following a stalemate in negotiations with the EU, the UK has decided to put plans for post-Brexit checks on some goods entering Northern Ireland on hold indefinitely. As part of political squabbling dubbed "the sausage wars," grace periods aimed to smooth the transition into new trading arrangements and inspections on the island of Ireland have twice been extended. David Frost, who is coordinating negotiations with the EU to update the contentious Northern Ireland protocol, announced a new extension on Monday evening, with no new timeframe set for the talks' conclusion. Every three or six months, the UK wants to "create space for negotiations to place without deadlines looming," according to a government source. They also stated that they had communicated their decision to the EU in a transparent manner. Setting a new deadline so soon after the current grace periods expire in October, according to the source, "doesn't assist develop a creative climate
