Saudi Arabia announced possibly the strictest COVID-19-related restrictions in the world and will ban unvaccinated individuals from nearly all public spaces. The Saudi Kingdom’s Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs announced this week that starting Aug. 1, unvaccinated people cannot enter malls, shopping areas, markets, and retail stores. Individuals will also have to show proof of vaccination to be allowed into restaurants, weddings, parties, cafes, barbershops, salons, and other establishments. “In continuation of the ministry’s efforts to protect the public’s health, it is required to vaccinate workers and visitors [who work in or will enter] a number of municipal establishments,” the ministry said in a statement.…

Steve Cooper has departed Swansea City by mutual consent after growing unsettled. The head coach led Swansea to successive Championship play-off finishes but made clear his concerns over the direction of the club. The 41-year-old took Swansea to the play-off final last season on a modest budget. The club were keen to offer Cooper, whose deal runs until next summer, a new contract following defeat by Brentford at Wembley but the former England Under-17 manager was reluctant to enter talks. Cooper was of interest to Crystal Palace before the Premier League club appointed Patrick Vieira, and his work at Swansea also attracted attention from Fulham,…

Former President Donald Trump said on July 20 that he can’t announce a decision to run for president because of campaign finance laws, which he described as ridiculous and outdated. During an interview with radio host Michael Savage, the former president was asked to talk about the possibility of running for president in 2024. “I can’t really because of campaign finance rules, regulations, very complicated, very stiff, and frankly very antiquated if you want to know the truth. It’s ridiculous,” Trump said, adding that he will talk about his political future soon. “I will be talking about it and I think that people will be…

Businesses are to be told on Thursday whether their staff could qualify for “critical worker” status, enabling them to leave self-isolation in England if they are double-vaccinated to avert major disruption to food supplies. Overnight, reports and pictures emerged of some empty supermarket shelves, blamed on the hundreds of thousands of people “pinged” or contacted by test and trace and told to stay at home due to the rapidly rising number of Covid cases, which are at their highest level since January 2021. Industries from petrol stations to the postal service have also reported being affected by absences. Kwasi Kwarteng, the business…

Conservative MPs believe Boris Johnson faces a major rebellion over Covid vaccine passports but could be supported by Labour, who were on Tuesday night wavering over whether to back them. Tory MPs opposed to the plan for Covid passes to enter nightclubs and other crowded indoor venues said more than 40 Conservatives were prepared to defy the prime minister over civil liberties concerns, particularly as No 10 has refused to rule out extending the passes to pubs and other sectors. The scale of the rebellion could put any vote on a knife-edge if opposition parties also oppose the idea, which was proposed…

PRITI PATEL’s plan to radically reshape Brexit Britain’s “broken” asylum system was backed by MPs in the Commons last night. MPs voted by 366 to 265 to adopt the Nationality and Borders Bill at its second reading. The Home Secretary believes the new legislation will help put a stop to migrants making the dangerous crossing across the English Channel from France on a daily basis. On Monday at least 430 people, including women and young children, made the journey, a new record for a single day. More than 8,000 migrants are thought to have succeeded in crossing the Channel so…

Tory rebels today vowed to fight Boris Johnson’s ‘disgusting’ threat to make anyone going to a nightclub prove they are double-jabbed – but warned any Commons revolt would be ‘pointless’ unless Labour opposes the move. The PM faces a furious backlash from MPs and civil liberties campaigners after delivering an ultimatum to young people at a press briefing last night. Former Supreme Court justice Lord Sumption said the move was ‘completely unnecessary’ given the high rates of vaccine take-up across the UK. Scientist Carl Heneghan suggested it is the thin end of the wedge, saying if the government is worried…

There are still discussions ongoing about a possible obligation to buy if Gollini achieves certain targets during his first season. Paratici…
