Deal signed after Israel and UAE announced agreement leading to full normalisation of diplomatic relations. The Emirati APEX National Investment company has signed a "strategic commercial agreement" with Israel's Tera Group to cooperate on research and development related to COVID-19, including a testing device, UAE state news agency WAM reported. The deal "is considered the first business to inaugurate trade, economy and effective partnerships between the Emirati and Israeli business sectors, for the benefit of serving humanity by strengthening research and studies on the novel Coronavirus", WAM quoted APEX's chairman Khalifa Yousef Khoury as saying. The agreement was signed in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, just two days after Israel and the UAE announced an agreement that will lead to full normalisation of diplomatic relations between the two. It also came after a phone call between US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, crown prince of Abu Dhabi. "The United Arab Emirates and Israel will immediately expand and accelerate cooperation regarding the treatment of and the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus," the two countries said in a joint statement. Delegations from Israel and the UAE will meet in the coming weeks to sign agreements regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications and other issues, the joint statement said. "TeraGroup's BioSafety testing is conducted in selected countries around the world, including the Emirates Field Hospital in Abu Dhabi, with plans to expand the testing to cover the entire UAE," WAM said. In June, the UAE said two of its private companies and two Israeli companies would work together on medical projects, including to combat the new coronavirus. Two state-owned Israeli defence contractors in July announced partnerships with Abu Dhabi-based technology company Group 42 to develop technologies to help fight the new coronavirus. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/uae-israeli-companies-sign-agreement-coronavirus-200816071821555.html?

Barack Obama has publicly endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden — but has privately expressed grave concerns about his former veep’s 2020 White House run. “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f–k things up,” the former president told an unnamed Democrat, who told Politico about the conversation— reportedly reflective of a strained history between the two. Former Obama Administration officials painted the relationship as warm and genuinely close — but fraught with tension over the gap between Biden’s old-school backslapping and Obama’s hyper-prepared wonkiness, the outlet reported. “You could certainly see technocratic eye-rolling at times,” according to former White House communications director Jen Psaki who recalled other aides chortling at Biden’s frequent gaffes and lack of discipline Nancy Pelosi’s ill-advised boost for Big Pot That attitude contributed to Obama’s decision to back Hillary Clinton for the party’s 2016 nomination over Biden. “The president was not encouraging,” Biden recalled in his 2017 memoir. In 2019, when Biden leaped into the Democratic primaries, Obama kept his distance from the contest for months — and continued to talk him down behind the scenes. And during the run-up to this year’s Iowa caucuses, one Biden rival told Politico, Obama privately reminisced about the bond he formed with the state’s voters during his 2008 campaign. But Biden struggled to grasp the electorate, #44 reportedly once said. “You know who really doesn’t have it?” “Joe Biden.” https://nypost.com/2020/08/15/barack-obama-reportedly-undercuts-bidens-2020-white-house-run

Angola sentences ex-president's son to five-year jail for fraud Jose Filomeno dos Santos was accused of embezzling $1.5bn from national sovereign wealth fund he oversaw for five years. Angola's Supreme Court has handed a five-year jail sentence to Jose Filomeno dos Santos, the son of the oil-rich country's former president, for fraud when he headed the national sovereign wealth fund. Dos Santos, 42, was summoned before the court in December over allegations he tried to embezzle up to $1.5 bn from the sovereign wealth fund, which he oversaw from 2013 to 2018. Nicknamed "Zenu", dos Santos, son of ex-President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, was charged with stealing $500m from the fund and transferring it to a Swiss bank account. "For the crime of fraud ... and for the crime of peddling influence ... the legal cumulus condemns him to a single sentence of five years in prison," judge Joao da Cruz Pitra said on Friday. Three co-defendants, including the former governor of the National Bank of Angola (BNA), Valter Filipe da Silva, were sentenced to between four and six years in prison for fraud, embezzlement and influence peddling. All four were acquitted of money laundering charges. They have previously denied any wrongdoing. Zenu is the first member of the former presidential family to be prosecuted as part of an anti-corruption campaign led by President Joao Lourenco, who came to power in 2017. In February, Angolan investigators froze the assets of Zenu's billionaire half-sister, Isabel dos Santos. She is being probed for a long list of crimes in Angola, including mismanagement, embezzlement and money laundering during her stewardship of the state-run oil giant Sonangol. Lourenco has mainly targeted the family members of his predecessor, who appointed relatives and friends to key positions during his 38-year rule - leaving a legacy of poverty and nepotism. Isabel has vehemently denied the accusations against her and denounced Luanda's actions as a politically-motivated "witch-hunt". Only a small elite have benefitted from Angola's vast oil and mineral reserves. The southwest African country has been slow in recovering from a 1975-2002 civil war. Large pockets of the population live in poverty with limited access to basic services. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/angola-sentences-president-son-year-jail-fraud-

ndizzle:Very very stupid question |
(CNN)New Zealand has extended a lockdown in its most populous city as the country battles a fresh community coronavirus outbreak that comes after months without any locally transmitted cases. Only five days ago, New Zealand was marking an enviable milestone -- 100 days without any community transmission. But this week has demonstrated how fast that can change, even in a country like New Zealand which has been held up as a world leader for its handling of the virus. On Friday, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that Auckland -- the city of around 1.5 million people at the center of the new outbreak -- will remain under a level three lockdown for another 12 days, while the rest of the country stays under level two restrictions, meaning gatherings are limited to no more than 100 people. The rules extend restrictions that came into effect earlier this week. Under level three restrictions, people will be told to stay home aside for essential personal movement, schools will operate at limited capacity, and public venues such as museums, playgrounds and gyms will remain shut. The fresh outbreak is a blow for New Zealand. The country already spent five weeks under one of the world's strictest lockdowns, which closed most businesses and schools, and saw people stay at home. Ardern has warned she expects to see more cases. "Lifting restrictions now and seeing an explosion of cases is the worst thing we could do for Auckland and for the New Zealand economy," she said. "We have got rid of Covid before ... We can do all of that again." Earlier Friday, New Zealand's Director General of Health Dr. Ashley Bloomfield announced another 12 locally-transmitted coronavirus cases. There are now 49 active cases in New Zealand to 49, 29 of which are linked to the recent outbreak. The cases are all in Auckland apart from two in Tokoroa, a town of 24,000 about 200km (124 miles) south of the city. According to the Ministry of Health, these two tested positive after a visit from a contact of one of the Auckland cases. In a press conference Friday, Bloomfield said that 771 close contacts of the confirmed cases had been identified, and more than 15,700 tests had been processed on Thursday -- the highest number of tests processed in a single day in the country. Since the start of the outbreak, New Zealand has conducted more than 500,000 tests. It has reported a total of 1,251 coronavirus cases, including 22 deaths. What caused the outbreak? There's still a major, unanswered question: How did this outbreak happen? The remote island nation imposed strict border controls back in March, meaning that, for the most part, only New Zealanders are allowed into the country -- and those who do arrive from abroad need to spend 14 days in state quarantine facilities. According to the Ministry of Health, 68% of New Zealand's cases are imported or linked to imported cases. One possible cause of this latest outbreak is that coronavirus somehow got out of New Zealand's state quarantine facilities. That's what Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters told Australian national broadcaster ABC, saying: "I think there has been a breach in our quarantine system." There have been breaches in New Zealand before -- in July, a man cut through a fence at a managed isolation facility to visit a liquor store, and another man who later tested positive for coronavirus broke out of a facility and visited a supermarket. Quarantine facility breaches were linked to an outbreak in the Australian state of Victoria, which is currently under lockdown. A pedestrian walks past a social distancing sign on August 14, 2020 in Wellington, New Zealand. So far, authorities haven't found a match between the genome involved in this latest outbreak and any cases in managed isolation facilities. Bloomfield said the new cases most closely resemble the genome patterns from the United Kingdom and Australia. Bloomfield thinks the outbreak could have come in through the isolation facilities rather than being in present for months in New Zealand. "I think there's very good evidence to suggest that it hasn't been lurking in the community," he said. Ardern said Friday that the strain in the new outbreak is not the same as one that previously existed in New Zealand. Authorities are also testing samples from surfaces at Americold, an American temperature-controlled warehouse company where one of the original four to test positive worked. A number of cases have been linked to the company. But Ardern said that, for now, authorities did not know how the outbreak happened. "We do not necessarily need to answer that question to deal with this cluster effectively," she said. How New Zealand compares New Zealand's fresh outbreak has drawn parallels with Australia and Hong Kong -- both places that imposed strict border measures when they had low infection numbers and appeared to have the virus under control, only to experience a reemergence of the virus. In the Australian state of Victoria, a lockdown has been imposed and a curfew put in place in Melbourne. As of Thursday, Victoria -- a state of around 6 million people -- had more than 7,800 active cases of coronavirus, and 275 deaths. In Hong Kong -- home to around 7.5 million people -- there are around 1,000 active cases, including 32 in a critical condition. Sixty-six people have died. Despite the current outbreak, the city has not imposed a lockdown, although people must wear masks in public or face a fine, public gatherings are limited to two people, and restaurants and bars must close at night except for takeaways. On Thursday, Ardern noted that New Zealand had imposed restrictions within 24 hours of the first new community coronavirus cases -- a response which she said was faster than in Hong Kong or Victoria. "The pace and speed should also act as an extra layer of reassurance," she said Thursday, before reiterating the mantra she has been saying since the start of the outbreak: "Going hard and early is still the best course of action." https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/14/asia/new-zealand-coronavirus-lockdown-intl-hnk/index.html?

Israeli military says attack is 'retaliation' for the launch of multiple incendiary balloons from Hamas-run Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said it carried out overnight attacks on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip after incendiary balloons were launched from the Palestinian enclave. The army on Wednesday said the attacks were "retaliation" for the floating of multiple fire balloons from the Hamas-run enclave in recent days. Israel attacks Hamas positions in Gaza over fire balloons Israeli military says attack is 'retaliation' for the launch of multiple incendiary balloons from Hamas-run Gaza Strip. The Israeli military said it carried out overnight attacks on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip after incendiary balloons were launched from the Palestinian enclave. The army on Wednesday said the attacks were "retaliation" for the floating of multiple fire balloons from the Hamas-run enclave in recent days. Fighter jets, attack helicopters, and tanks struck a number of Hamas targets including "underground infrastructure and observation posts", a military statement said. No casualties were reported and there was no immediate response from Hamas. Fire services in southern Israel said the incendiary balloons caused 60 fires on Tuesday alone but no one had been hurt. 'Laying siege' Explosives tied to balloons and kites first emerged as a weapon in Gaza during intense protests in 2018, when the makeshift devices drifted across the border daily, causing thousands of fires on Israeli farms and in communities. Israel closed its Kerem Shalom goods crossing with the Gaza Strip in response to the recent balloon barrage. Hamas denounced the closure as an "aggressive" move that showed Israel's "insistence on laying siege" to Gaza, and warned it could cause further worsening of the humanitarian situation in the territory. As the Gaza Strip crossing closed, the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt opened Tuesday for the first time since April. Traffic in both directions was to be permitted for three days, allowing Gazans to leave the enclave for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The Rafah crossing provides Gaza's sole access to the outside world not controlled by Israel. The Palestinian territory has been under an Israeli blockade since 2007. Hamas and Israel have fought three wars since 2008. Despite a truce last year backed by the UN, Egypt and Qatar, the two sides clash sporadically. Palestinian analysts say cross-border fire from Gaza is often used as a bargaining tool to secure Israel's greenlight for the entry of Qatari financial aid into the territory. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/israel-attacks-hamas-positions-gaza-fire-balloons-200812064320471.html?

The huge chemical explosion that hit Beirut's port, devastating large parts of the Lebanese capital and claiming over 150 lives, left a 43-metre (141 foot) deep crater, a security official said Sunday. The blast Tuesday, which was felt across the county and as far as the island of Cyprus, was recorded by the sensors of the American Institute of Geophysics (USGS) as having the power of a magnitude 3.3 earthquake. It was triggered by a fire in a port warehouse, where a huge shipment of hazardous ammonium nitrate, a chemical that can be used as a fertiliser or as an explosive, had languished for years, according to authorities. The huge blast also wounded at least 6,000 people and displaced more than 300,000 from their destroyed or damaged homes. The revelation that the chemicals had languished for years like a ticking time-bomb in the heart of the capital has served as shocking proof to many Lebanese of the rot at the core of the state apparatus. Demonstrators on Sunday called for renewed anti-government rallies after a night of angry protests saw them storm several ministries before they were expelled by the army. It was a new tactic for a protest movement that emerged last October to demand the removal of a political class long accused of being inept and corrupt. "The explosion in the port left a crater 43 meters deep," the Lebanese security official told AFP, citing assessments by French experts working in the disaster area. The crater is much larger than the one left by the enormous blast in 2005 that killed former prime minister Rafic Hariri, which measured 10 metres across and two metres deep, according to an international tribunal investigating his murder. French rescue and police teams are among a much larger group of international emergency response specialists that has flooded into Lebanon to ease pressure on local authorities unable to cope with the disaster relief on their own. https://www.yahoo.com/news/beirut-port-blast-crater-43-081845962.html |
