More photographs of these protests in Melbourne, the Australian city with the highest Covid-19 infections, but also, as a result, its highs and strict lockdowns. It maintains a curfew in the Melbourne metropolitan area and strict restrictions on all movements.
I have to do something I guess. (Warning: a play on words that justifies moaning at the beginning of this tale, just in a low voice, I mean that. )
With millions of people around the world trapped at home because of the pandemic, Thailand’s “aircraft cafes” offer consumers a chance to pretend to be in the sky, and the concept seems to have taken off.
On the edge of a recalled advertising aircraft off the coast of Pattaya city, coffee drinkers sit comfortably in first-class seats and pose for photographs near hanging lockers.
Boarding passes in hand, some “passengers” even opt for a flight to the cabin.
“With this coffee, I can first-hand elegance and also play in the cockpit pretending to be the captain of the plane,” Thipsuda Faksaithong, 26, told AFP. “It’s a lot of fun. “
Chalisa Chuensranoi, 25, said her stopover was as smart as anyone she had done before the pandemic that closed Thailand’s borders in March.
“Sitting here in the first section of elegance . . . it literally makes me feel like I’m on a plane, flying through the air,” he said.
At the café at the headquarters of the national airline Thai Airways in Bangkok, hungry diners even seem to have missed food from the planes by swallowing spaghetti with carbonara and Thai-style beef served on plastic trays through cabin crew.
But for Intrawut Simapichet, 38, who came to the café with his wife and baby, delight is much more than a meal.
“Normally I am a user who travels very often, and when we are forced to stay in houseArray . . . it’s a little depressing,” he said as his fellow travelers posed with their luggage near the door of a fake plane.
“[Coffee] relieves what’s missing. “
Thailand was the first open-air country in China to stumble upon a case of coronavirus, but has since recorded a low number of deaths, with around 3,400 infections and 58 deaths.
However, restrictions have eviscerated the tourism-dependent economy and Thais have been stranded due to quarantine needs in other countries.
The government sees bubbles with some countries that also have low tolls.
Anti-lock protesters concentrated in Melbourne for a day, some throwing fruit at police after attacking market stalls.
About 150 protesters who chanted “freedom” and “power to the people” were outnumbered by officials in Queen Victoria’s market on Sunday.
Images of violent fights were posted online as policemen with equipment made their way through the crowd between the product tables.
“There were some tense moments when protesters grabbed fruit and threw it at the police,” an AAP photographer said.
Other videos show police officers on horseback looking at a separate group.
Protesters shouted, “This is not a police state” and “You’ll have to be in the right aspect of the story. “
“There was also a bit of aggression towards the media that called us scum,” the AAP photographer said.
Some protesters walked away from the market and crossed the streets of the city.
The officers are believed to have arrested dozens of protesters.
The demonstration follows Saturday’s demonstration, when about a hundred more people spoke out against Melbourne’s strict coronavirus restrictions in the places.
On Saturday, police arrested 14 other people and fined at least 50 others for violating fitness guidelines.
The time for the day of the protests comes hours after a shared police recording pulled her out of a car.
The masked driving force refused to get out of their car after speaking to an officer about a phone charger in Wallan, about 60 km north of the city.
You can hear a police officer asking for the woman’s call and facing before she refuses to leave the car again. The images show the officer leaning in the vehicle as the woman protests, before being forevicted by force.
He is expected to be charged with a variety of offences, as well as an attack on the police.
On Sunday, Victoria reported new cases and seven more deaths, bringing the death toll in the state to 723.
Facebook posts mean protesters plan to gather every Saturday until restrictions are eased.
A security guard from the Melbourne Parliament has tested the Covid-19Array.
Some more important points about the Victoria epidemic and the latest figures. My circle of relatives in Melbourne, I know, adds up those numbers every day, and I know they’re not alone. Trend lines are good.
From Health Director Brett Sutton:
Victoria has recorded new cases of coronavirus since yesterday, with the total number now in 19835.
The overall total greater than 35 due to the reclassification of six cases.
In Victoria, 21 of the new cases are similar to outbreaks or cases and 20 are being investigated.
There have been seven new covid-19 deaths since yesterday. A guy in his ’70s, a woguy in his ’70s, a woguy in his ’80s and ‘4 in his ’90s. Four of the deaths occurred the day before yesterday.
Six of the seven deaths today are similar to known outbreaks in nursing homes. To date, another 723 people have died from coronavirus in Victoria.
The average number of diagnosed in the last 14 days for the city of Melbourne is 56. 9 and regional Victoria is 4. 1.
The average cellular case is calculated by averaging the number of new instances in the last 14 days.
The number of cases shown of coronavirus in Germany has increased to 948 in the last 24 hours, according to the knowledge of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) for infectious diseases on Sunday.
The number of reported deaths has increased from two to two in the count.
Germany had more than 260,000 Covid-19 infections, with 9,352 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Back in Victoria, Australia:
A drag of her car through police on Saturday is expected to be charged with six offences, as well as resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
Victoria police released a video related to a video of Wallan’s wife Natalie Bonett being pulled out of her car after refusing to share her main points with police at a checkpoint yesterday.
Police spoke with the driving force at the checkpoint about his cell phone obstructing his sight due to his position on the windshield and explained that it was a crime.
He refused to remove his phone from the windshield. When asked about his call and address, he refused to provide his tactile information, which is a crime under segment 59 of the Road Safety Act.
When asked to provide his driver’s license, he also refused, which is also a crime in segment 59.
The woman warned that if she did not provide her tactile information, she would be arrested.
She refused and police asked her to get out of her car, when she rejected this request, she was taken out of the car by officials and arrested.
She was released, but a spokesman for Victoria police said she would be charged with six offences: driving with a vision that is difficult to understand, not presenting a license, not claiming her call and address, resisting arrest, attack with the police and offensive comments.
The Iraqis have dug up their dead Covid to re-enter their rightful place. AFP reports, and a warning, is an agonizing story.
Mohammad al-Bahadli dug with his bare hands the warm sand of the Iraqi desert to succeed in his father’s corpse.
“Now he can nevertheless be with our people, our family, in the old cemetery,” Bahadli, 49, said as his relatives sobbed over his body, wrapped in a shroud.
After restrictions on the burial of those killed by coronavirus have been provided, Iraqis exhume the sick and reinserted them into their post in the circle of family cemeteries.
For months, families were not allowed to bring the frame and bury it in the circle of family graves, for fear that the corpses would continue to spread the virus.
Instead, the government established a “coronavirus cemetery” on desert outdoor lands in the sanctuary town of Najaf, where volunteers in protective clothing consciously buried the sick five meters (16 feet) away.
Only one member of the family circle was able to attend the quick funerals, which happened in the middle of the night.
There they were buried victims of all sects, Shiite and Sunni Muslims, as well as Christians.
But on September 7, the government announced that it would allow the transfer of the deceased to the cemetery of their choice of family circle.
Many of those buried came here from other parts of the country.
“The first time he buried so far,” Bahadli said of his father’s 80-year-old funeral rites, “I’m not sure he’s done it the right and devoted way. “
Iraq has been one of the hardest hit countries in the Middle East, with more than 280,000 infections and nearly 8,000 deaths.
On September 4, the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that “the likelihood of transmission by manipulation of human remains is low”.
A few days later, after the tension of the families, the Iraqi government announced that it would allow the bodies to be moved through “specialized fitness equipment. “
But the first burials were chaotic. In the “coronavirus cemetery” in the najaf gates desert, many families began arriving late on Thursday to dig up their circle of relatives and take the bodies home.
They brought their own shovels, sand-collecting baskets and new wooden coffins.
The sounds of fierce tears and prayers of mourning with the curse of the beaks echoed in the sand.
There were no fitness professionals or cemetery guides on site so families could locate or search for bodies properly, an AFP correspondent said.
In some cases, families dug into a grave marked after a relative, to locate an empty coffin, or to notice a young man’s body as they waited to locate his elderly mother’s body.
Other bodies were wrapped in funeral shrouds, required by Islam as a sign of respect.
The effects provoked outraged complaints from the state-sponsored armed organization that had taken over the burials in recent months, and some relatives set fire to the base of the nearby faction.
“The gravediggers have neither experience nor materials,” said Abdallah Kareem, whose brother Ahmed died as a result of Covid-19.
“They don’t even know how to locate the graves, ” he said.
Kareem, who comes from 230 km (140 miles) south in the Iraqi province of Muthanna, decided to refute his brother in case he violated devotional decrees.
In Islam, the deceased will have to be buried as soon as possible, regularly within 24 hours.
Cremation is strictly prohibited and burials are virtually unknown, but they are necessarily prohibited if the frame remains intact, a Najaf cleric told the AFP.
“Since my father was buried here, I’ve been repeating his words in my head before he died, ‘My son, look to bury me in the circle of relatives in the cemetery, don’t let him take me too far away from my enjoyed ones. ‘”Hussein, another mourner who only gave his first name, said.
The 53-year-old man dug up his father’s body in his hand and transferred him to Wadi al-Salam Cemetery, where millions of Shiite Muslims are buried.
“The dream that has haunted me in months has come true,” Hussein said.
