  • Margus Tsahkna
    Margus Tsahkna “This is a hybrid attack. If we look at the very different spheres of life in which Russia interferes in our lives on our territory. Whether it is deliberate attacks through the special services on our public assets, on our monuments. Whether it is cyberattacks, or whether it is completely deliberate action in terms of jamming the GPS signal. Russia knows very well that the interference they are causing is very dangerous for our air traffic and, specifically, is also in breach of international conventions to which Russia is a party. So, this is a deliberate action that is disrupting our lives, putting people's lives at risk.” 19 hours ago
  • Osama Hamdan
    Osama Hamdan “It's clear from the Israeli paper that they are still insisting on two major issues. They don't want a complete ceasefire and they are not talking, in a serious way, about the withdrawal from Gaza. In fact, they are still talking about their presence … which means that they will keep continuing [occupying] Gaza. We have serious questions for the mediators. If there [are] positive answers, I think we can move forward. Stopping the attacks against Palestinians is not generous [Blinken claimed that the Israeli proposal was an 'extraordinarily generous' offer]. The attack itself is a crime, so when you stop a crime, you can't claim that it's a generous action from the Israeli side.” 20 hours ago
  • Tim Wu
    Tim Wu “ByteDance, for its part, maintains that it is not actually subject to control by the Chinese government. The weight of the evidence suggests otherwise: The Chinese state owns a “golden share” in the company, the firm is based in China, and studies suggest that the government shapes TikTok content in accordance with party preferences. ByteDance has said it has no plans to sell TikTok; but that might merely be a means of driving up the price. What the company now has is a golden opportunity to prove its independence for once and for all: by selling TikTok and taking the money.” 22 hours ago
  • Jens Stoltenberg
    Jens Stoltenberg “For months the U.S. was unable to agree a package and European allies have been unable to deliver ammunition at the scale we promised. Ukraine has been outgunned for months and forced to ration its ammunition.... More support is on the way.” 22 hours ago
  • Ting-yu Wang
    Ting-yu Wang “A visit to China by a group of 17 Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) lawmakers is doing nothing regarding China's continuing military intimidation against Taiwan. The KMT members have become tools for Beijing's united front propaganda campaign. Beijing is manipulating Taiwan's parliament by using democracy to kill democracy. It is regretful that the 17 KMT lawmakers now in China are afraid to speak up for Taiwan, as we still face constant military threats from China and intimidatory gray zone tactics. We cannot see how the KMT's 'trip to promote peace and friendship' has achieved anything. Instead they are acting like sycophants by pandering to Chinese officials.” 23 hours ago
  • Volodymyr Zelenskiy
    Volodymyr Zelenskiy “Timely support for our army. Today I don't see anything positive on this point yet. There are supplies, they have slowly begun, but this process needs to be sped up. Promptness in supply literally means a stabilization of the front line.... Together we must disrupt the Russian offensive.” 23 hours ago
  • Natasa Pirc Musar
    Natasa Pirc Musar “I am supporting him [Borut Pahor]. Pahor would be a good candidate. His political experience of 17 years in the highest positions in my republic shows he is capable of holding such a position. Slovenia is an ideal candidate for that [role, EU special envoy for Kosovo-Serbia dialogue], knowing the region, we know the mentality, the culture, because of the roots from the past and I can assure you that Slovenia never has a hidden agenda. That is our added value.” 23 hours ago

“What we know now of course is that the patients, people who are becoming seriously ill, who are being hospitalised, are those who have not been vaccinated and those who have not had their boosters.”

“Everybody wants to know about the boosters, when it's needed, how often it's going to be needed and so on. There are many factors that can influence this. One is the type of vaccine. We know that each vaccine has a slightly different performance and longer follow up is telling us the efficacy of the vaccines, particularly in preventing severe disease but also in preventing infection. The other big variable of course is, the variants of the virus that we are seeing. And we've seen that different variants have different abilities to be neutralized by the antibodies, or be able to overcome the immune response, like Omicron seems to be doing because of the mutations it has it seems to be pretty good at evading immune responses. The third factor of course is the biology of the individual, the age of the person, how strong the immune system is, whether there are other underlying illnesses which impact the immune system. And therefore when we make recommendations for a course of vaccination, we have to take into consideration all of these factors. There is some data now to show that there is a slippage in the protection due to the different vaccines at about six months or so, particularly for protection from infection, less so for protection from disease; they are still performing at 80%. But with Omicron again, the initial data coming in obviously showing that Omicron is very successfully able to evade immune responses and therefore needs higher levels of antibodies. For now we believe that boosters may be needed for people who have weaker immune systems, the older individuals, the more vulnerable people and whether a third dose of the vaccine is going to be it, or whether they are going to be need for additional vaccines like influenza every year, every couple of years, it's too early to say and we need to really follow the science on that.”

“It's not a recipe against the current tidal wave that Ontario is starting to face already, and other provinces will follow. We invest with the booster so that when we loosen restrictions again … we start to see protections through the boosters. That's the idea. We need interventions to blunt the wave so that we have a bit more time so that … we are able to roll [boosters] out and that they are able to start to develop their effectiveness.”

“We expect that most likely the current vaccines will be sufficient to provide protection. And especially the boosters will give that additional layer of protection.”
