Australia should look at Israel to learn how to deal with Covid-19 once the country has achieved a high vaccination rate, a leading diseases expert has said. Professor Tony Blakely of the University of Melbourne said Australia can 'learn a lot' from Israel which under one of the fastest jab rollouts in the world has vaccinated 78 per cent of over 12s, the majority with Pfizer, but is suffering a surge in cases. Australia has targeted a 70 per cent vaccination rate to start living more freely and without lockdown; and 80 per cent to get back to 'normal' life without masks, social distancing and QR codes.   However,  last Sunday, Israel brought back restrictions including vaccination certificates or negative coronavirus tests to enter a range of public spaces such as restaurants and bars, cultural and sports venues, hotels and gyms.  A medic administers a booster shot of the coronavirus vaccine to a woman in Tel Aviv, Israel The nation of 9million is recording about 6,000

Andrew Cuomo declares a State of Emergency.   In a briefing on Saturday afternoon, Cuomo warned that Hurricane Henri is 'as serious as a heart attack' and New York residents in parts of Long Island, particularly Fire Island, need to prepare to evacuate to higher ground as soon as possible.  'We have short notice. We're talking about tomorrow. If you have to move, if you have to stock up, if you have to get to higher ground it has to be today,' Cuomo said.  He added that the storm is predicted to be as dangerous as Superstorm Sandy in 2012, 'so, this is as serious as a heart attack'. The State of Emergency is in place for Long Island, New York City, Westchester County, the Hudson Valley and the Capital Region.  Cuomo said Henri is forecasted to make landfall 7am on Sunday with the eye of the storm passing

The last time I saw my father was when I was nine. Holding a small leather suitcase, he caught a train from Norfolk to travel to London for cancer treatment. His brave cheerfulness chokes me every time I recall the scene. His last days were spent in Westminster Hospital, and he died aged 40. I had only just started at the same boarding school where he had taught, and there I was a few days later, in the school chapel in short trousers and knobbly knees, going to his memorial service. I felt the devastating loss. His love, his humour and the things he taught me. Ever since, a part of me has been making up for that painfully unjust separation and for the years he lost. Perhaps I had to learn quickly to make decisions for myself, to be self-reliant and willing to take risks. Our families couldn’t afford new clothes, much less washing machines or refrigerators, while feeble coal-burning stoves provided just a few precious inches of hot bath water, but we still believed in the pre-eminence
