A medic tells us that the National Health Service is threatened by the lifting of Covid restrictions: "We're literally at the top of the leader-board for the number of new cases each day". The Olympics WILL go ahead despite a rise in covid cases in Japan and a growing number of athletes testing positive. And a British court today decides which of the two men claiming to be the leader of Venezuela will get access to a billion dollars worth of gold bullion.
