Chinas Wuhan completes citywide testing to curb COVID-19 resurgence
The central Chinese city of Wuhan has completed a round of all-inclusive nucleic acid testing within five days to contain the latest COVID-19 resurgence, local authorities said Sunday.
More than 11.28 million residents in the megacity have been tested for the novel coronavirus during the citywide testing that started Tuesday, Li Tao, deputy secretary-general of the Wuhan municipal government, told a press conference on Sunday.
This means a “basically full coverage” of all residents in Wuhan, except for children under six and university students away on summer vacation, according to Li.

The mass testing was launched after new locally transmitted infections emerged among several migrant workers on Monday.
By Saturday, Wuhan had registered 37 locally transmitted confirmed cases and 41 locally transmitted asymptomatic carriers in the latest outbreak.
Peng Houpeng, deputy director of the municipal health commission, said nine of the infections were found in the mass screening of residential compounds under closed-off management, while the other cases were found among quarantined close contacts.
Hit hard by COVID-19 in early 2020, Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, was the world’s first megacity to complete a comprehensive nucleic acid testing campaign, testing nearly 10 million residents in 19 days at the height of the pandemic.
Hard hit by COVID-19 in early 2020, Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, was the world’s first megacity to complete a comprehensive nucleic acid-testing campaign last year.
The city had not reported any locally transmitted COVID-19 infections for over a year.
UK universities to continue online lessons in autumn term despite lockdown lift: media
Two-thirds of the 65 universities polled by the Times Higher Education magazine confirmed that most lectures would remain online for the coming academic year, but that they planned as much in-person teaching as possible.
Many of the top universities in Britian have refused to bring back full face-to-face teaching in the autumn, despite government advice that they can lift all COVID-19 restrictions, local media reported Sunday.
According to The Sunday Times report, 20 of the leading 24 Russell Group universities said a proportion of undergraduate teaching will continue to be held online, which means they will offer blended learning to mix the online and face-to-face teaching for classes, seminars and lectures.

Meanwhile, two-thirds of the 65 universities polled by the Times Higher Education magazine confirmed that most lectures would remain online for the coming academic year, but that they planned as much in-person teaching as possible.
They said the decisions were driven by the risk of coronavirus spreading in large lecture classrooms, as well as the educational benefits of blended learning.
Most universities said they would require students to wear masks on campuses. Some will also instruct students to socially distance. Students may also need to be double jabbed to attend concerts, discos or other social events.
The decision has dismayed college students who coped with severe disruption last year.
Students in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool have launched petitions calling for a full return to “normality in terms of teaching” and demanding fee refunds. In Manchester, where some of the strictest lockdowns took place, nearly 10,000 have signed.
Claire Marchant, chief executive of the universities admissions service Ucas, said that online teaching might mean that universities could enrol more students.
It was predicted that top universities in Britain have to cope with a 10-percent surge of applicants with A and A+ grades, compared to 2019, due to the cancellation of college entrance exams in the pandemic.
Most COVID-19 restrictions in England have been lifted last month as part of the final step of the British government’s roadmap out of the lockdown.
Britain has reported another 28,612 coronavirus cases in the 24-hour period, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in the country to 6,042,252, according to official figures released Saturday.
Nearly 90 percent of the adults in Britain have had their first dose of vaccine, while more than 74 percent have had their second jab, according to the latest figures.
To bring life back to normal, countries such as Britain, China, Russia, the United States as well as the European Union have been racing against time to roll out coronavirus vaccines.
What he did to me was a crime: Cuomo executive assistant who filed criminal complaint breaks silence
The woman who filed a criminal complaint against New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week alleging he engaged in illegal sexual conduct has come forward publicly for the first time.
Brittany Commisso was previously identified only as “Executive Assistant #1” in a report released Tuesday by Democratic state Attorney General Letitia James after a lengthy investigation into numerous sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo. On Thursday, Commisso also filed a criminal complaint against Cuomo with the Albany County Sheriff’s Office, but had remained anonymous.
In a joint interview with CBS’s “This Morning” and the Albany Times Union that will air Monday, Commisso revealed herself to be “Executive Assistant #1.” Previews of the interview were released by CBS throughout the day Sunday.
When asked why she had filed the criminal complaint against Cuomo, Commisso told CBS News correspondent Jericka Duncan, “it was the right thing to do.”
“The governor needs to be held accountable,” Commisso added.
When asked to clarify if that meant seeing Cuomo charged with a crime, Commisso nodded in the affirmative.
“What he did to me was a crime,” she told Duncan. “He broke the law.”
Commisso told Duncan that Cuomo began giving her “hugs with kisses on the cheek” and at one point Cuomo hugged her, quickly turned his head and kissed her on the lips. Commisso also said Cuomo groped her – “he touched me, not only once, but twice” – and said she was too afraid to say anything.
“I didn’t say anything this whole time. People don’t understand that this is the governor of the state of New York,” Commisso told Duncan. “There are troopers that are outside of the mansion and there are some mansion staff. Those troopers that are there – they are not there to protect me. They are there to protect him.”
According to the attorney general’s report, Commisso told investigators that Cuomo harassed her both verbally and physically, including groping her breast in the governor’s mansion in Albany. Cuomo has denied the allegations.

Commisso told investigators that one day, Cuomo allegedly told her it was “about time you showed some leg” when she wore a dress, and later asked if she had kissed or “fooled around” with someone other than her husband.
At one point, the governor allegedly said to Commisso something like, “If you were single, the things I would do to you,” she recalled, per the attorney general’s report. In one incident, he allegedly asked her to take a selfie with him and then “moved his hand to grab her butt cheek and began to rub it,” the report said. Commisso told investigators she was shaking so much that the photos were blurry.
In November, Commisso was dispatched to assist Cuomo at the executive mansion, according to the report. As she was leaving, he slammed the door shut and slid his hand up her blouse, cupping her breast, according to the investigation. “I remember thinking to myself who – I knew what just went on, I knew and he knew too that was wrong,” she told investigators. “And that I in no way, shape or form invited that nor did I ask for it. I didn’t want it. I feel like I was being taken advantage of.”
Commisso told investigators from the attorney general’s office that she planned to take Cuomo’s actions “to her grave” but grew upset after hearing him deny inappropriately touching women.
On Friday, a spokesman for the governor reiterated Cuomo’s denial that he groped the assistant and said that the office notified authorities after she told a supervisor about her experience.

“As we said previously, we proactively made a referral nearly four months ago in accordance with state policies,” said Richard Azzopardi, a spokesman for the governor.
Cuomo attorney Rita Glavin questioned the assistant’s account of the breast groping in a news conference Friday. She said a reconstruction of the events on Nov. 16, a possible date of the incident given in the report, showed that the assistant was on a different floor from the governor for much of the day and that she did not leave abruptly, but offered to continue working late at the mansion. The attorney general’s report notes that the assistant was not certain of the date of the incident. But Glavin said that records show that Nov. 16 was the only day that month the assistant entered the mansion.
Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple vowed Saturday that his office would conduct a “very comprehensive investigation” into the criminal complaint filed against Cuomo, and took pains to keep her identity secret during a news conference.
Apple also said his investigators would not be rushed or swayed either way by the high-profile nature of the case.
Cuomo is facing a growing number of calls to resign, including from President Biden and other top Democrats, after 11 women accused him of sexual harassment and retaliation.
“We treat victims the same. We investigate the same. This one has more eyes on it,” Apple said Saturday. “I’m not going to rush it because of who [Cuomo] is and I’m not going to delay it because of who he is.”

Dixie Fire mushrooms into second-largest wildfire in California history
The Dixie Fire that has forced thousands from their homes in Northern California and destroyed a historic town grew into the second-largest blaze in state history on Sunday, officials said, as the wildfire mushroomed to more than 463,000 acres.
The fire razed most of Greenville late Wednesday and continues to threaten nearly 14,000 buildings, firefighters said, underscoring the danger of climate change-fueled disasters. Most of California’s biggest wildfires on record have erupted in the past year, as dry conditions and high temperatures lead to destruction, mass evacuations and smoke disrupting life in the West.
On Sunday, authorities said they were trying to keep Dixie’s flames from reaching homes in the tiny community of Crescent Mills, just a few miles south of Greenville. As evacuation orders expand, they have been warning of unusually fast-spreading flames and “historically” low moisture levels leaving land primed to burn.
“We’re seeing fire activity that even veteran firefighters haven’t seen in their career,” Edwin Zuniga, a spokesman for Cal Fire, the state firefighting agency, told The Washington Post. “So we’re just in really uncharted territory.”
Smoke has helped shade and moderate the flames but also stymied crews’ ability to work from the air, Zuniga said, leaving those on the ground to spray retardant on mountain ridges and around threatened communities. Clearing skies on the blaze’s northeast perimeter, meanwhile, have “led to more dynamic fire behavior,” Cal Fire said in a Sunday incident report. The agency said the blaze was 21% contained, with more than 5,000 people trying to keep it at bay and full containment not expected for weeks.
It helped that the sun was often hidden Sunday, Cal Fire spokesman Mark Beverage said, limiting the opportunity for dry vegetation to heat up. But with warmer, drier weather expected in the coming days, he said, “We’re looking at another tough week.”
In acreage burned, Dixie has shot up California’s all-time rankings in a matter of days. On Sunday it passed the massive 2018 Mendocino Complex Fire and now ranks behind only the August Complex Fire of 2020, which spread to more than 1 million acres. That blaze – the result of many smaller fires sparked by lightning – destroyed more than 900 structures and led to one death, according to Cal Fire.
Dixie’s destruction is still dwarfed by past wildfires, including the 2018 Camp Fire that leveled the town of Paradise, catching residents off guard and becoming the deadliest blaze on record in the state. The Camp Fire killed at least 85 people and torched well over 18,000 structures.

Authorities say the Dixie Fire has ruined several hundred buildings. No fatalities have been reported.
In Greenville, a town of about 1,100 dating back to the Gold Rush era, the blaze left mostly rubble piles and charred building frames. The U.S. Forest Service said only about a quarter of the town’s structures survived. In surrounding Plumas County – where officials say nearly 40% of the population is under evacuation orders – the sheriff’s office said four people were unaccounted for as of Sunday morning.
At a news conference the night before, officials said the displaced have “just spread out everywhere,” finding refuge in California towns such as Chico and Quincy, as well as out of state. Hanna Malak, a spokesman for the American Red Cross, said tens of thousands of people have been forced from their homes as the organization and its partners run 15 emergency shelters.
“Everybody’s scattered and scared,” said Brian Maldonado, 47, who said he did maintenance work at the Dollar General store in Greenville and recently evacuated from Westwood about 25 miles to its north. He and his partner, Desiree Maurer, are staying at a motel in Redding for now, their Jack Russell terriers in tow.
“Everything in our lives is upside down,” Maurer said as online maps showed the fire burning perilously close to their home after creeping around a lake. “And we have it good. There are people right now in their cars, and they don’t know where to go.”

The couple has fled infernos before: In 2018, they barely escaped the encroaching Camp Fire in Paradise. Maurer and Maldonado remember an agonizing crawl through gridlock traffic as the town burned behind them and propane tanks popped like gunfire.
Like dozens of others who fled the Camp Fire, Maurer and Maldonado had started to slowly rebuild their lives in small, rural communities around Lake Almanor. Now, Maurer said: “We’re losing more than our stuff. We’re losing our way of life. If we move, we have to find another community.” Despite the trauma of another evacuation, she wants to return to Westwood if she can.
She also said she wants to see more investments in fire safety from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the utility company under renewed scrutiny after saying its equipment may have started the Dixie Fire. The company pleaded guilty last year to involuntary manslaughter in the Camp Fire and acknowledged that its electrical grid caused the blaze.
“This shouldn’t happen over one company,” Maurer said.
While the cause of the Dixie still under investigation, U.S. District Judge William Alsup on Friday ordered PG&E to provide information about a tree that fell on the utility company’s power line at the wildfire’s origin.
“PG&E’s responses will not be deemed as an admission by PG&E that it caused any fire, but they will serve as a starting point for discussion,” wrote Alsup, of the Northern District of California.
A PG&E spokesperson told The Post on Saturday that the utility was aware of the court’s orders and would respond by the judge’s deadline of Aug. 16.
No civilian injuries have been reported in the Dixie Fire, but four firefighters were injured by a falling tree branch, officials said. Three have been released, while a fourth is in the hospital in stable condition, Zuniga said Sunday.
As the fire advanced, another historic spot burned: a nearly century-old scenic fire lookout in Lassen Volcanic National Park, park superintendent Jim Richardson said Saturday night. Many other sites with long histories remain at risk, he said.
Pace of Taliban advance quickens as militants overrun three major cities in a single day
KABUL, Afghanistan – Taliban fighters overran three major cities in the north of Afghanistan on Sunday, the most significant territorial gains the militants have netted in a single day since the withdrawal of U.S. forces entered its final phase this year.
In nearly simultaneous operations, the Taliban pushed into the center of Kunduz city and the capitals of Sar-e Pol and Takhar provinces. Afghan officials said clashes were continuing in Kunduz, and a major military operation was planned to retake the strategically important city that the militants had besieged for months.
The developments marked a sharp escalation in the pace of Taliban gains across Afghanistan. For months, Taliban fighters focused on taking control of districts and increasing pressure on urban areas, but that changed Friday when they overran a provincial capital for the first time since the withdrawal of foreign forces. The militants took a second city on Saturday, and by Sunday government-held territory in the north appeared to be collapsing quickly.
In Takhar, Afghan officials said government forces abandoned the provincial capital before Taliban fighters attacked, according to Rohullah Raufi, a provincial council member. In Sar-e Pol, a small number of Afghan security forces and government officials also fled, seeking refuge at a military base on the city’s outskirts.
In Kunduz, too, Afghan government control shrank to a single military base near the airport, where most of the government officials left in the city were sheltering.
Taliban fighters pushed into Kunduz from the north Sunday and closed in on the city prison, according to an Afghan officer in contact with the few government security forces left there. The officer spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists about ongoing operations.
The Taliban quickly overwhelmed the prison guards. They then released prisoners and bolstered their numbers with dozens of inmates who were Taliban fighters, the officer said. The additional Taliban fighters helped the militants launch attacks on the main government compounds in central Kunduz.
Afghan security forces have been scrambling to secure prisons and Taliban inmates for weeks as the militants have closed in on urban areas across the country. The most dangerous Taliban prisoners have been relocated to Kabul, but many low-level Taliban fighters remain in provincial detention centers, according to Afghan officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the information to journalists.
The officials warned that if even a fraction of Taliban inmates were freed, it could give the group significant battlefield advantages.

Taliban fighters launched attacks on the main government compounds in Kunduz for hours, according to Ghulam Rabani Rabani, a member of the provincial council. Clashes lasted into the evening.
Amr al-Din Wali, another Kunduz provincial council member, said Afghan security forces have “no morale.” Speaking from the base near the airport, he said waves of intense airstrikes had been launched in and around the city, but he didn’t think security forces had a plan to retake it.
The Taliban attack on Takhar mirrored the attack on Kunduz. Fighters first assaulted the central prison to release dozens of Taliban inmates, according to a Taliban member briefed on the operation. He spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists.
Raufi, the provincial council member from Takhar, said government forces retreated to avoid the destruction of the city, but some informal anti-Taliban fighters attempted to hold the militants off. He estimated that some two thousand Taliban fighters moved on the city from multiple directions.
Clashes in the capital city of Sar-e Pol province continued into the evening, according to deputy governor Abdul Malik Azimi, who spoke by phone from a military base on the city’s outskirts. A provincial council member, Sayed Asadullah Danish, said Taliban fighters were in control of the city’s main government compounds.
Taliban fighters overran Zaranj, the capital of the western province of Nimruz, on Friday and pushed into Shebergan, the capital of the northwestern province of Jowzjan, on Saturday.
Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said the militants were in full control of the important government buildings in Kunduz, Sar-e Pol and Takhar and were “chasing away the remaining forces of the enemy.” He repeated a call for Afghan government “officials and security forces to stop fighting,” and pledged that anyone who chose to lay down their arms would “be provided protection.”
As the conflict escalates across the country, the Taliban is increasingly accusing Afghan forces and the United States of indiscriminately using air power that is killing and wounding large numbers of civilians.
Human rights groups are also voicing concerns about a spike in civilian casualties.
For years, the majority of the fighting between the Taliban and Afghan government forces occurred in the country’s rural areas. As the Taliban is now pushing into cities, Deborah Lyons, the U.N. special representative for Afghanistan, has warned that more civilians will be injured or killed.
In testimony to the U.N. Security Council on Friday, Lyons said that in Lashkar Gah – one of the most closely contested provincial capitals in the country – more than 104 civilians were killed and 403 wounded in a 10-day period. The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan reported recently that civilian casualties could reach “unprecedented” levels this year if the war continues on its current trajectory.
“To attack urban areas,” Lyons said, “is to knowingly inflict enormous harm and cause massive civilian casualties.”
U.S. officials acknowledged an increase in the use of American air power last month, but have since declined to comment on the number of American strikes in Afghanistan. The United States stopped releasing strike data last year after signing an accord with the Taliban. Officials have cited sensitivities surrounding peace talks that have been stalled for months.
U.S. forces are in the last stages of a withdrawal from Afghanistan that President Joe Biden has said will conclude at the end of the month. But Marine Gen. Kenneth “Frank” McKenzie, who oversees operations in Afghanistan as head of U.S. Central Command, has not committed to ending airstrikes in support of Afghan forces after that deadline.
Raufi, speaking by phone from a military base besieged by the Taliban in Takhar’s capital city, said he had not received any information from the central government about a potential push to retake the area.
Keeping the land border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland free of any visible checkpoints is a key plank of the Brexit accord between the European Union and U.K. An agreement, known as the Northern Ireland Protocol, aimed to do just that. Yet its roundly drawn criticism and its implementation has been controversial.
Unionists claim it undermines their British identity because it treats Northern Ireland differently from the rest of the U.K., while companies have complained it disrupts trade. The dispute has fostered suspicion and fueled a war of words between the U.K. and EU which threatens to undermine the wider trade and cooperation agreement between them. Meanwhile, other outstanding issues remain unresolved.
1. Why was Northern Ireland such a Brexit sticking point?
Following Brexit, the 310-mile (499-kilometer) frontier running from near Derry in the north to Dundalk on the east coast of Ireland became the EU’s new land border with the U.K. Without special status, checks would have had to take place on the frontier because the U.K. has exited the customs union and single market. The concern was that delays could hamper the free movement of people and goods between the two parts of Ireland, which was partitioned a century ago, and customs posts could become targets for violence. The protocol was seen as an answer. By keeping the land border free of potentially provocative checkpoints, both sides hoped to prevent a return to the era of sectarian violence, which cost more than 3,000 lives between the late 1960s and the signature of a peace accord, the Good Friday Agreement, in 1998.
2. How does the protocol work?
The protocol effectively keeps Northern Ireland in the EU’s customs area and much of the single market. That means cargo coming from mainland Britain needs to be checked before or on entry to the region to ensure it meets the bloc’s rules and standards. Essentially, the border has moved to the Irish Sea. The deal also allows Northern Irish exporters to have easy access to Europe’s single market and Britain’s internal market.
3. What does the U.K. want and what’s the reaction been?
In July the U.K. called on the EU to substantially rewrite the protocol, which U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has described as unsustainable. The U.K. wants the EU to agree to a standstill period on measures affecting Northern Ireland, including maintaining all grace periods for checks on trade. Ultimately the U.K. wants those checks on goods moving in Northern Ireland from the rest of the kingdom to be replaced by a trusted trader system and remove the EU institutions’ role in enforcing the protocol, among other measures. Both the EU and Irish government have made clear they will be flexible within the confines of the protocol but won’t renegotiate the agreement itself.

4. Why is it so controversial?
Most fundamentally, Northern Irish unionists say it’s wrong that the province isn’t treated in the same way as England, Scotland and Wales. On a more practical basis, Northern Irish importers say the system has created more paperwork, delays and costs when goods are brought into the region. Some British retailers interrupted sales into Northern Ireland while those issues were being resolved. During the Brexit negotiations the U.K. government explored alternative proposals for an invisible hi-tech land border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, with customs checks conducted at business premises some distance away from the frontier. None of those proposals were found to be workable in a way that was acceptable to both sides.
5. How has the U.K.-EU rift widened?
Strains emerged almost from the moment the protocol came into force, with images of empty food shelves flooding social media. They escalated in January when the European Commission threatened to override parts of the protocol to stop Covid-19 vaccines made in the EU moving into mainland Britain via Northern Ireland without approval. The prospect of controls returning to the Irish border sparked outrage and the Commission reversed course, yet the episode added to momentum behind the wider unionist campaign to undermine and abolish the protocol. Since then various issues have flared up, most publicly a row dubbed the “sausage wars” over checks on chilled meats moving from the rest of the U.K. into the region. The U.K. and EU agreed to postpone the changes for three months but still need to find a permanent plan for trade in the region. Another sector under threat is pharmaceuticals. More than 2,000 generic medicines made in Great Britain could be withdrawn from the Northern Irish market, with the British Generic Manufacturers Association, an industry trade body, saying different regulations in the province could make it too costly and complex to supply medicines.
6. What’s fueling the tensions?
In March, the British government said it would waive customs paperwork on food entering Northern Ireland until October, beyond the April 1 deadline it had agreed with the EU. The government believes that supermarkets and traders aren’t ready for the new rules and had previously asked for the deadline to be extended until 2023, but the bloc hasn’t signed off on that proposal. Instead, the EU said it would take legal action against the U.K. for breaching the Brexit deal. The bloc has since pulled back from the legal route while the two sides try to resolve some of the protocol issues.
7. What’s the long-term future for the protocol?
Northern Ireland will be given a say on the protocol in 2024. Though the details have yet to be set out, the region’s power-sharing assembly will vote on the accord. If a simple majority backs the protocol, another vote will be held four years later. If the measure gains the support of both the nationalist and unionist groups, there won’t be another vote for eight years. If the assembly scraps the protocol, the border question could well be back on the agenda. In the absence of an overall renegotiation, some additional agreements could ease some checks. The Irish government says a deal on sanitary and phytosanitary standards would remove the need for as much as 80% of checks.
8. Could Brexit hasten a united Ireland?
It’s unlikely anytime soon as a majority in Northern Ireland wants to remain part of the U.K. Still, the fact that the possibility is being openly discussed again is testament to the forces unleashed by Brexit. Under a provision of the Good Friday Agreement, a so-called border poll on Irish unification could only take place if the U.K. government considers such a referendum would likely be passed. Some 44% of Northern Irish voters are against unification and 35% are in favor, according to a survey for the Irish Independent in May. That leaves a swathe of undecideds who could swing it either way.
