Как избежать паники и полезные советы, как обнаружить мошенничество с COVID-19

Уилл Мюррей сканирует самые надежные веб-сайты, чтобы выяснить, как мы можем защитить себя от мошенничества во время кризиса с коронавирусом, и несколько советов о том, как избежать паники.

В ряде стран официальные лица выразили обеспокоенность по поводу хаотичного затоваривания, что ограничивает общий доступ к предметам первой необходимости и повышает вероятность заражения в супермаркетах.

Некоторые важные товары, такие как туалетная бумага и дезинфицирующее средство для рук, по-прежнему пользуются сумасшедшим спросом, что ограничивает доступ к ним и вызывает ненужную панику. Чтобы уменьшить нагрузку, правительства призывают людей делать покупки ответственно и брать только то, что им нужно. BBC опубликовал ряд полезных руководств о том, как ограничить количество продуктов, которые мы тратим, покупая продукты с длительным сроком хранения.

Кроме того, появился ряд мифов о том, как распространяется вирус и как люди могут защитить себя от него. И Би-би-си, и Всемирная организация здравоохранения (ВОЗ) опубликовали руководства о том, что люди могут услышать и что должны игнорировать. Совет ВОЗ по ограничению распространения вируса остается следующим:

- часто мойте руки с мылом и водой не менее 20 секунд;
- кашлять и чихать в ткани или локоть;
- не касайтесь глаз, носа и рта немытыми руками;
- практика социального дистанцирования;
- Если у вас жар, кашель и затрудненное дыхание, обратитесь за медицинской помощью заранее и следуйте рекомендациям местного медицинского органа.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Borrell underlined that the European Union will make every effort to support the peace process and to remain a committed partner to the Afghan people. "Of course, we will have to take into account the evolving situation, but disengagement is not an option.  We are clear on that: there is no alternative to a negotiated political settlement, through inclusive peace talks.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
