Main story: Biden – cover your face for the sake of others
Good morning, Warren Murray enlightening you this Tuesday morning.
Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate, said he was not surprised by Donald Trump’s coronavirus infection and declared that “masks matter” when the still-infected president returned to the White House and deliberately removed his mask on the balcony. Shortly after flying back from Walter Reed Medical Center, an unmasked Trump recorded a rambling and triumphalist video statement claiming to be overcoming the virus and saying, “Maybe I’m immune!” and urged Americans: “Don’t let it dominate you. Don’t be afraid of it. You’re going to beat him … Be careful! “
Biden said, “I hope that the president, having been through what he’s been through, and I’m glad it seems to be going pretty well, will deliver the right lesson to the American people … These masks are important. Save lives. The only thing I heard was one of the tweets saying that, you know, don’t worry so much about all of this, essentially. There’s a lot to worry about. “Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s leading infectious disease expert, who has been shunned by Trump, told CNN that doctors would need to monitor the president for a” reversal “in his progression because he was still in the danger period. Fauci also said he strongly suspected that an experimental monoclonal antibody drug administered to Trump was helping him recover.
Julian Borger writes that the next four weeks will be dangerous not only for Trump but also for those around him. “Many scholars of Trump’s life and career have warned that he would be willing to sacrifice anyone to avoid the humiliation of a one-term presidency. It involved creating a culture in the White House in which wearing masks was mocked and viewed as a sign of disloyalty. Trump took the message home Monday night … He has produced a toxic workplace to the point of potential lethality. “

Windmills PM in – Boris Johnson will promise to supply all UK households with offshore wind by 2030 and turn the pandemic into a catalyst for green growth. In a speech at today’s Conservative party virtual conference, you should say that the government is betting on a clean energy future to create jobs, comparing the UK’s offshore wind resources to the oil wealth of Saudi Arabia. The government has been criticized for failing to put in place plans for an ecological recovery that would put the UK on track to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The prime minister did not mention onshore wind power, which is the cheapest form of wind power, But it is hampered by planning regulations because grassroots conservatives don’t like turbines. The push for offshore wind has been welcomed by green activists, who urged the prime minister to go further with his plans by providing incentives for electric vehicles and other low-carbon infrastructure.

Corbyn’s Grouping Challenges Starmer – More than 20 Labor MPs were understood to have rebelled against the party leadership on Monday night at the second reading of a bill confirming MI5’s right to allow informants to commit crimes. Keir Starmer wanted his party to abstain on the security bill, but the Socialist Campaign Group led by Jeremy Corbyn voted against it: the second rebellion in less than fifteen days. On Monday, the bill passed on second reading by 182-20. Jon Trickett, a congressman close to Corbyn, had said he would vote against the bill that “seeks to provide legal cover for illegal covert actions.”
I’m glad to see your back Dogs are just as excited about the back of their heads as they are about the front, scientists have found. The researchers scanned the brains of dogs and humans while showing them videos of the front or back of a human or dog head (stay with me). The brains of the dogs showed no difference when they were shown a face compared to the back of the head; dogs primarily focused on whether they were looking at a dog or a human, while humans primarily focused on whether there was a face. Dr Attila Andics, a co-author of the study from Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary, said the findings did not mean that the dogs were completely ignorant of faces, but could be related to their general dependence on a variety of body signals.
