Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the lockdown Saturday evening in a national broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Non-essential shops and hospitality will have to close for four weeks on Thursday, he said. But unlike the restrictions in spring, schools, colleges and universities will be allowed to stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
British Prime Minister announced the one month-long lockdown for England following warningd after that a resurgent coronavirus outbreak will overwhelm hospitals in weeks without tough action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson said in a televised news conference Saturday that the new measures will begin Thursday and last until December 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said without them, \u201cwe could see deaths in this country running at several thousand a day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bars and restaurants can only offer takeout, non-essential shops must close and people will only be able to leave home for a short list of reasons, including exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike during the UK\u2019s first lockdown earlier this year, schools, universities, construction sites and manufacturing businesses will stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson had hoped a set of regional restrictions would be enough to contain the virus, but government scientific advisers predict that on the outbreak\u2019s current trajectory, demand for hospital beds will soon exceed capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other parts of the U.K. set their own public health measures, with Wales and Northern Ireland already effectively in lockdown and Scotland under a set of tough regional restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
London School of Hygiene epidemiologist, John Edmunds, a member of the government\u2019s scientific advisory group, said yesterday that cases were running \u201csignificantly above\u201d a reasonable worst-case scenario drawn up by modelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is really unthinkable now, unfortunately, that we don\u2019t count our deaths in tens of thousands from this wave,\u201d Edmunds told the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe issue is, is that going to be low tens of thousands if we take radical action now or is that going to be the high tens of thousands if we don\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Official figures announced yesterday recorded 21,915 new cases confirmed in the last 24 hours, bringing Britain\u2019s total since the start of the pandemic to 1,011,660.

Following a fresh wave of outbreak of Covid-19, the United Kingdom (UK) has announced a four-week lockdown for England as the country passed one million cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the lockdown Saturday evening in a national broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Non-essential shops and hospitality will have to close for four weeks on Thursday, he said. But unlike the restrictions in spring, schools, colleges and universities will be allowed to stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
British Prime Minister announced the one month-long lockdown for England following warningd after that a resurgent coronavirus outbreak will overwhelm hospitals in weeks without tough action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson said in a televised news conference Saturday that the new measures will begin Thursday and last until December 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said without them, \u201cwe could see deaths in this country running at several thousand a day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bars and restaurants can only offer takeout, non-essential shops must close and people will only be able to leave home for a short list of reasons, including exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike during the UK\u2019s first lockdown earlier this year, schools, universities, construction sites and manufacturing businesses will stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson had hoped a set of regional restrictions would be enough to contain the virus, but government scientific advisers predict that on the outbreak\u2019s current trajectory, demand for hospital beds will soon exceed capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other parts of the U.K. set their own public health measures, with Wales and Northern Ireland already effectively in lockdown and Scotland under a set of tough regional restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
London School of Hygiene epidemiologist, John Edmunds, a member of the government\u2019s scientific advisory group, said yesterday that cases were running \u201csignificantly above\u201d a reasonable worst-case scenario drawn up by modelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is really unthinkable now, unfortunately, that we don\u2019t count our deaths in tens of thousands from this wave,\u201d Edmunds told the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe issue is, is that going to be low tens of thousands if we take radical action now or is that going to be the high tens of thousands if we don\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Official figures announced yesterday recorded 21,915 new cases confirmed in the last 24 hours, bringing Britain\u2019s total since the start of the pandemic to 1,011,660. Britain\u2019s official death toll from the coronavirus is 46,555, the highest in Europe, with 326 new deaths announced Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The United States, India, Brazil, Russia, France, Spain, Argentina and Colombia have also recorded more than 1 million cases, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. Scientists say the true number of cases is much higher because not everyone with the virus is tested.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Covid-19: UK announces a four-week lockdown for England","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"covid-19-uk-announces-a-four-week-lockdown-for-england","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-01 11:20:16","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-01 10:20:16","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=994","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":635},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

U.S President Donald Trump has warned terrorist groups and kidnappers across the world to stay clear of American citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president who spoke on the backdrop of the successful rescue mission carried out in Nigeria at the weekend said Securing the freedom of Americans held in captivity abroad has been a top national security priority of his Administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He revealed that over 55 hostages and detainees in more than 24 countries have been rescued in the last four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president in a statement issued by the office of the Press Secretary therefore warned that the weekend operation should serve as a warning to terrorists and criminal thugs who mistakenly believe they can kidnap Americans with impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement reads: \"Last night, at my direction, the United States military conducted a successful operation to rescue an American hostage in Nigeria, kidnapped just 96 hours earlier. United States Special Forces executed a daring nighttime operation to rescue their fellow American with exceptional skill, precision, and bravery. No United States Service Members were harmed. The former hostage is currently in good health and has been reunited with his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Securing the freedom of Americans held in captivity abroad has been a top national security priority of my Administration. Since the beginning of my Administration, we have rescued over 55 hostages and detainees in more than 24 countries. Today\u2019s operation should serve as a stark warning to terrorists and criminal thugs who mistakenly believe they can kidnap Americans with impunity. \"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
U.S special operations forces on Saturday rescued an American citizen taken hostage by armed men earlier last week in Niger and held in northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mission, which was several hours long, was conducted by the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6 who were flown to the region by Air Force special operations, it was learnt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US forces who conducted the mission killed six of the seven captors, the official said. The US believes the captors have no known affiliation with any terror groups operating in the region, and were more likely bandits seeking money.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Trump warns terrorist groups, kidnappers to stay clear US citizens","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"trump-warns-terrorist-groups-kidnappers-to-stay-clear-us-citizens","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-11-01 15:47:43","post_modified_gmt":"2020-11-01 14:47:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=998","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":994,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2020-11-01 11:20:16","post_date_gmt":"2020-11-01 10:20:16","post_content":"\n
Following a fresh wave of outbreak of Covid-19, the United Kingdom (UK) has announced a four-week lockdown for England as the country passed one million cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the lockdown Saturday evening in a national broadcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Non-essential shops and hospitality will have to close for four weeks on Thursday, he said. But unlike the restrictions in spring, schools, colleges and universities will be allowed to stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
British Prime Minister announced the one month-long lockdown for England following warningd after that a resurgent coronavirus outbreak will overwhelm hospitals in weeks without tough action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson said in a televised news conference Saturday that the new measures will begin Thursday and last until December 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said without them, \u201cwe could see deaths in this country running at several thousand a day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bars and restaurants can only offer takeout, non-essential shops must close and people will only be able to leave home for a short list of reasons, including exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike during the UK\u2019s first lockdown earlier this year, schools, universities, construction sites and manufacturing businesses will stay open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson had hoped a set of regional restrictions would be enough to contain the virus, but government scientific advisers predict that on the outbreak\u2019s current trajectory, demand for hospital beds will soon exceed capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other parts of the U.K. set their own public health measures, with Wales and Northern Ireland already effectively in lockdown and Scotland under a set of tough regional restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
London School of Hygiene epidemiologist, John Edmunds, a member of the government\u2019s scientific advisory group, said yesterday that cases were running \u201csignificantly above\u201d a reasonable worst-case scenario drawn up by modelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is really unthinkable now, unfortunately, that we don\u2019t count our deaths in tens of thousands from this wave,\u201d Edmunds told the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe issue is, is that going to be low tens of thousands if we take radical action now or is that going to be the high tens of thousands if we don\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
