В Бангкоке участники марша несли плакаты с упоминанием законов, касающихся харассмента на рабочем месте и насилия.

Также многие демонстранты — как женщины, так и мужчины — привлекали внимание к вопросам защиты материнства.

И не только с помощью плакатов: некоторые надели на марш платья, под которыми были воздушные шары.

Группа Little Big, которая должна была представить Россию на «Евровидении» в 2020 году, отказалась участвовать в новом отборе на конкурс.

Среди претендентов на участие в «Евровидении» были певица Манижа Сангин (Manizha), группы «2маши» и Therr Maitz.

Она выступит на «Евровидении» с песней «Russian Woman».

Группа Little Big должна была поехать на «Евровидение-2020» с песней «Uno».

В июле 2020 года организаторы конкурса сообщили, что клип на эту песню стал самым просматриваемым на ютьюб-канале «Евровидения».

Международный олимпийский комитет (МОК) не признал избрание Виктора Лукашенко — старшего сына Александра Лукашенко — главой Национального олимпийского комитета (НОК) Беларуси.

Также МОК не признал избрание в исполнительный комитет НОК Дмитрия Баскова — главу Федерации хоккея Беларуси и одного из приближенных Александра Лукашенко, которого белорусские СМИ подозревают в причастности к минчанина Романа Бондаренко.

Виктора Лукашенко избрали главой НОК Беларуси 26 февраля.

Виктора Лукашенко с 2019 года был первым вице-президентом НОК.

В декабре 2020 года МОК запретил Александру и Виктору Лукашенко посещать свои мероприятия, в том числе Олимпийские игры.

По-настоящему дозвониться из нее до кого-либо нельзя: она не подключена к телефонной линии.

На холме, в саду японского поселка Оцути в 500 километрах на северо-восток от Токио, стоит белая телефонная будка.

Оно повлекло за собой цунами, затопление нескольких городов (пострадал и поселок Оцути) и катастрофу на АЭС «Фукусима-1».

— Я отправил тебе сообщение о том, где я, но ты его так и не прочитала».

«У многих людей так и не было возможности попрощаться, — говорит Итару.

Арендодатель потребовал в течение месяца освободить помещение, в котором находится офис центра помощи пострадавшим от домашнего насилия « ».

По словам Ривиной, в начале февраля в центр пришла бумага якобы из Росимущества.

В ней содержалась просьба «срочно освободить помещение в добровольном порядке» до 10 февраля.

Ривина подчеркнула, что в помещении, о котором идет речь, центр принимает пострадавших, проводит группы поддержки, устраивает образовательные мероприятия.

Только за 2020 год там проконсультировали 960 жертв домашнего насилия.

ЕСПЧ впервые принял к рассмотрению дело из России о повторной психологической травматизации детей, ставших жертвам сексуального насилия, во время следствия и суда.

В ней говорится, что во время следствия и суда пострадавшей девочке пришлось пересказывать обстоятельства сексуального насилия не менее 23 раз.

Как пишет «МБХ медиа» со ссылкой на «Правовую инициативу», пострадавшая девочка в 11 лет попала в приют после смерти матери.

«МБХ медиа» пишут, что девочка рассказывала о пережитом сексуальном насилии 21 раз.

Девочку спрашивали, в частности, о том, почему она не кричала, почему не рассказала взрослым, в какой позе она лежала, пишет издание.

Юрист Дмитрий Миропольцев из города Калтана Кемеровской области отсудил у полиции компенсацию морального вреда за то, что на него составили протокол о демонстрации свастики из-за фото с числом 55.

Административное дело в отношении юриста завели в ноябре 2019 года.

Поводом стало то, что он опубликовал в ВК фото, где люди выстроились в виде числа 55.

Это был кадр из сюжета ГТРК «Пенза» о флешмобе в честь 55-летия полета Юрия Гагарина в космос.

Суд прекратил дело в связи с отсутствием состава правонарушения.

В Петербурге прошла феминистская акция в честь 8 марта.

Она была заявлена как акция за закон о домашнем насилии, за освобождение политзаключенных и за борьбу с женской бедностью.

МБХ медиа», в акции принимали участие около 100 человек.

Они устроили шествие от станции метро «Чернышевская» до Малой Садовой улицы, пели частушки, водили хороводы, а также скандировали лозунги «Свободу !» и «Долой патриархат!».

Кроме того, во время акции в Петербурге задержали художницу Катрин Ненашеву, когда она выходила из дома.

Запрет коснется бандан и балаклав, которые носят футбольные фанаты и демонстранты, а также одежды мусульманских женщин — и .

До референдума запрет действовал в двух из них — Санкт-Галлен и Тичино, а также в соседних Франции и Австрии и других европейских странах.

В 2009 году с подачи его сторонников в Швейцарии уже прошел референдум, по итогам которого запретили строительство новых минаретов.

5 марта 2021 года Jean-Christophe Bott / EPA / Scanpix / LETAПротивники запрета считают, что он не повлияет на положение женщин и направлен против мусульман.

Против запрета выступили и в Ассоциации туризма Швейцарии, заявив, что он ухудшит имидж страны в мусульманских государствах и навредит развитию т…

Она выступит с песней «Русская женщина».

Главная причина — деятельность человека.

«Я бы очень хотела звучать на кольцевои линии. Потому что кольцевая — бесконечна».

В первую очередь «отловом» подозреваемых начнут заниматься на остановках общественного транспорта.

Председатель Госдумы убежден, что нужно усилить борьбу с «беспределом глобальных IT-компаний».

Они начнутся в ближайшие три недели и будут «очевидными для российской разведки, вооруженных сил и президента Владимира Путина».

Она просила помощи, но ей отказывали, чтобы не «навредить институту монархии».

Ведь «настоящий мужчина должен иметь призывной билет».

Детям приходится преодолевать дистанцию в 3,5 километра в одну сторону.

Сооснователь заведения отрицает присутствие на вечеринке сотрудников центра «Э» и вывод журналистов из клуба.

Телефон нашёл канадский дайвер, занимающийся поиском потерянных вещей.

Акция приурочена к 8 марта.

По данным очевидцев, клуб окружили сотрудники центра «Э».

Компания «Сибур» утверждает, что рисков для окружающей среды и населения нет. В Ростехнадзоре в этом сомневаются.

В Европейской России ожидаются аномальные морозы, сообщил научный руководитель Гидрометцентра Роман Вильфанд.

В Москве температура будет ниже нормы на 11–13°C.

В московской области ночные температуры могут достигать -24°C, а в пониженных местах — -28°C.

«Над большей частью Европейской России устанавливается антициклональный режим… Давление резко возрастает и погода будет по-настоящему, на удивление, зимней и антициклональной»,— сказал господин Вильфанд «РИА Новости».

Например, в Ульяновской области температура опустится до -29°C, в Пермском крае — до -28°C.

С 11 марта в Эстонии будут действовать жесткие карантинные меры из-за распространения коронавируса.

«Свежие данные показывают, что более агрессивный британский штамм коронавируса распространен в Эстонии шире, чем прогнозировалось.

В Эстонии на дистанционное обучение переводят всех детей и подростков.

Заниматься спортом можно только в одиночку, без тренера или партнера.

В Эстонии 1–7 марта было зарегистрировано максимальное число зараженных COVID-19 за неделю с начала эпидемии — больше 9,4 тыс.

США не будут снимать санкции с Венесуэлы, хотя признают, что они не привели к должному результату, сообщил журналистам высокопоставленный представитель администрации Джо Байдена.

«Односторонние санкции на протяжении четырех лет не преуспели в том, чтобы изменить электоральный результат.

Представитель администрации также добавил, что режим приспособился к санкциям, и «нефтяные рынки давно приспособились к нефтяным санкциям».

Напомним, 22 февраля ЕС расширил санкции против Венесуэлы.

В ответ на это власти Венесуэлы вручили послам Франции, ФРГ, Нидерландов и Испании ноты протеста, а посла ЕС объявили персоной нон грата.

После прошедших в Белоруссии 9 августа выборов президента в стране начались массовые акции протеста, включавшие столкновения с силовиками, длившиеся более пяти месяцев.

По заявлению главы КГБ страны Ивана Тертеля, они сошли «на нет» к февралю 2021 г., в конце того же месяца это признала и находящаяся в эмиграции Тихановская.

«Ельцин говорит: конечно, Швейцария, сегодня вы президент, через год Леонид Макарович, еще через год я. Горбачев так задумался и говорит: нет, нет, нет, так нельзя, должен быть один президент», — сказал Кравчук.

Ранее в феврале Таиланд начал постепенно снимать ограничения в связи с улучшением ситуации с коронавирусом.

В ряде курортных провинций вернулись к прежнему режиму работы развлекательные заведения, включая бары и рестораны, возобновились музыкальные и танцевальные вечера, возобновили работу с ограничением на число посетителей спа и массажные салоны, фитнес-центры и залы для бокса.

Ранее, в начале июля, в Сербии начались акции протеста после того, как Вучич объявил о введении в Белграде повторного карантина и комендантского часа из-за новой вспышки коронавирусной инфекции.

На следующий день президент отменил собственное распоряжение, однако к вечеру у здания парламента начались демонстрации, сопровождавшиеся столкновениями с полицией.

Объектом критики стало не повторное введение ограничительных мер, а непоследовательная стратегия властей по борьбе с коронавирусом и становящийся все более авторитарным стиль правления главы государства, писала газета The New York Times.

Отмечается, что после положительного теста на коронавирус они ушли на самоизоляцию, их состояние стабильное.

Группа Little Big, которая должна была представлять Россию на отмененном "Евровидении-2020", отказалась ехать на "Евровидение-2021" "Группа Little Big не будет принимать участие в отборе этого года", — заявил лидер группы Илья Прусикин в эфире Первого канала.

Парагвай из-за своих географических и демографических особенностей смог пережить первую волну пандемии COVID-19 почти лучше всех в Латинской Америке — власти быстро закрыли наземные границы, запретили въезд из КНР, а по морю вирус попасть просто не мог, ведь у страны нет выхода к морю.Но уже в 2021 году в стране стал расти уровень заболеваемости, смертей от коронавируса становится всё больше, а коек в больницах — всё меньше. Оказалось, Парагвай просто не был готов к пандемии, пока остальной мир подстраивался под новые условия.Люди в Парагвае ждали из России вакцину «Спутник V», за партии уже заплатили, но пока на 7 млн жителей в стране всего 4 тысячи доз препарата.

Sonko, who finished third in the 2019 presidential election, was arrested after an employee of a beauty salon accused him of raping her.

He denies the allegation and says it is an attempt by President Macky Sall to kneecap a political rival.

The government denies this.

Slideshow ( 2 images )(Reuters) - Dove soap maker Unilever will remove the word “normal” from its beauty and personal care products, as well as stop digital alterations of body shapes and skin colour of models used in its advertising in a push to be more inclusive.

Unilever was pushed to rename its top selling skin-lightening brand in India to “Glow & Lovely” from “Fair & Lovely” last year after facing consumer ire over negatively stereotyping darker skin tones.

In 2017, the company faced a social media outcry over an advert for Dove body wash, which showed a black woman removing her top to reveal a white woman.

Two of the sources who spoke to Reuters are Toyota engineers and the others are at companies involved in the chip business.

Inventories of MCU chips - which often combine multiple technologies, CPUs, flash memory and other devices - are held for Toyota by parts suppliers such as Denso, which is partially owned by Toyota Group, chip makers like Renesas and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, and chip traders.

One of the sources involved in semiconductor supply, said Toyota and its affiliates had become “extra risk averse and sensitive” to the impact of climate change.

“This basic approach sets us apart,” said one of the sources, a Toyota engineer.

Toyota designed and manufactured its own MCU…

REUTERS/Joe Skipper(Reuters) - The next launch window for a NASA crew to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX rocketship has been pushed back by at least another two days, to no earlier than April 22, the space agency said.

SpaceX, the private rocket company of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, was previously scheduled to carry its second “operational” space station team into orbit for NASA in late March.

The flight marks only the second full-fledged space station crew-rotation mission launched aboard a privately owned spacecraft - a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket tipped with the Crew Dragon capsule it will carry into orbit.

After docking with the space station, they will join the four…

ARK’s popular exchange traded funds have been battered by a recent shift away from the high-flying technology stocks that led markets higher for most of 2020, with the ARK Innovation exchange traded fund off 11% year-to-date.

In an underlying sense the bull market is strengthening and that will play to our benefit over the longer term,” Wood told CNBC in an interview.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq on Monday confirmed a correction as it closed 10% lower than its record close in February.

“We’re becoming more and more optimistic about our portfolios in the selloff,” Wood said.

The Ark ETF lost 5.8% on Monday and is 29.6% below its record close of Feb. 12.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration(Reuters) - Blockchain payment firm Ripple will end partnership with money transfer services company MoneyGram International Inc, the companies said on Monday.

Ripple bought a $30 million stake in MoneyGram in 2019, with the partnership initially set for two years.

Slideshow ( 3 images )NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three ships carrying ethanol were heading to China from the U.S. Gulf Coast, three trade sources told Reuters on Monday, a sign that ethanol exports from the United States to the country are increasing drastically.

The ships each have a capacity of around 30,000 tonnes, or about 240,000 barrels of ethanol, the sources said, though the exact amount of the renewable fuel onboard was not immediately clear.

In January, Archer Daniels Midland Co Chief Financial Officer Ray Young said that China has bought “roughly 200 million gallons” (4.76 million barrels) of U.S. ethanol for the first half of 2021.

While China imported an annual record of 4.72 million…

MALABO (Reuters) - The death toll from a series of explosions in a military barracks in Equatorial Guinea has risen to 98, the health ministry said on Monday after volunteers searched the rubble for bodies.

Citing Vice President Teodoro Nguema Obiang Mangue, the health ministry put the death toll at 98, more than triple an earlier estimate of 31 killed.

Of the wounded, 299 remained hospitalised, the ministry wrote on Twitter.

Sen. Roy Blunt's retirement highlights the twin challenge facing Senate Republicans: finding good replacement candidates and avoiding a pathway for potential troublemakers to join their ranks.Why it matters: While the midterm elections are supposed to be a boon to the party out of power, the recent run of retirements — which may not be over — is upending that assumption for the GOP in 2022.People with sharp rhetoric and outlandish style who see themselves as Trumpian figures — similar to Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert in the House — may be attracted to the Republican Senate races.And there's no question Donald Trump will want a say in each of the resulting primaries. The qu…

Data: Brookings Institution and Pew Research Center; Note: No data on Native Americans in Congress before the 107th Congress; Chart: Danielle Alberti/Axios The number of non-white senators and House members in the 535-seat Congress has been growing steadily in the past several decades — but representation largely lags behind the overall U.S. population.Why it matters: Non-whites find it harder to break into the power system because of structural barriers such as the need to quit a job to campaign full time for office, as Axios reported in its latest Hard Truths Deep Dive.A sign of progress: In the House of Representatives, the share of Black lawmakers is now nearly equal to the percentage o…

The retirements of high-profile Senate Republicans mean a lot of experienced staffers will soon be seeking new jobs, and Washington lobbying and public affairs firms are eyeing a potential glut of top-notch talent.Why it matters: Roy Blunt is the fifth Republican dealmaker in the Senate to announce his retirement next year. Staffers left behind who can navigate the upper chamber of Congress will be gold for the city’s influence industry.What they’re saying: Multiple lobbyists and public affairs executives told Axios many of staffers will simply move to other Senate offices.But those who choose to market their skills and experience in the private sector will be prized commodities.“Money foll…

Venezuelans living in the United States will be eligible to receive temporary protected status for 18 months, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday. Why it matters: Tens of thousands of Venezuelans have fled to the U.S. amid economic, political and social turmoil back home. Former President Trump, on his last full day in office, granted some protections to Venezuelans through the U.S. Deferred Enforced Departure program, but advocates and lawmakers said the move didn't go far enough. Details: The TPS designation allows Venezuelans currently in the U.S. to apply for the protective status, which will last until Sept. 9, 2022. TPS allows people from other countries to stay and w…

Decades of the slow economic progress women made catching up to men evaporated in just one year.Why it matters: As quickly as those gains were erased, it could take much, much longer for them to return — a warning Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen issued today. What they're saying: "We're really concerned about permanent scarring from this crisis," Yellen said at an International Women's Day event — referring to the possibility that scores of female workers who left the labor force won't return.The risk: "When women are not maximized in the labor force, they are earning less, they are spending less, there's less tax revenue. And there's less economic growth," Nicole Goldin, a senior fellow at…

Chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg thought Mark Zuckerberg was "nuts" when he raised the possibility in January 2020 that 50,000 Facebook employees might have to work from home. By March 6, they were. Why it matters: In an interview Monday with Axios Re:Cap, Sandberg explained how Facebook moved quickly to respond to the pandemic with grants for small businesses and work-from-home stipends for its employees, and how the company has been watching the unfolding crisis for women in the workforce. Flashback: "In January, Mark told me and others that we should get ready for the possibility that we would all have to work from home and there might be a pandemic," Sandberg told Axios Re:Cap ho…

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal for a lawsuit brought against Cleveland police officers that challenges the scope of qualified immunity, the legal doctrine which has been used to shield officers from lawsuits alleging excessive force, Reuters reports.Why it matters: The doctrine has been the subject of scrutiny from civil rights advocates. Eliminating qualified immunity was one of the key demands of demonstrators during nationwide protests in 2020 following the killing of George Floyd.Advocates for revising or eliminating the doctrine say it makes successful prosecution of police misconduct difficult by setting a higher bar for civil suits. Others argue that removing …

People who have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can take fewer precautions in certain situations, including socializing indoors without masks when in the company of low-risk or other vaccinated individuals, according to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released Monday.Why it matters: The report guidance early evidence that suggests vaccinated people are less likely to have asymptomatic infection, and are potentially less likely to transmit the virus to other people. At the time of its publication, the CDC said the guidance would apply to about 10% of Americans.What they're saying: "If grandparents have been vaccinated, they can visit their daughter and her…

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse tells "Axios on HBO" that if his company loses a lawsuit brought by the SEC, it would put the U.S. cryptocurrency industry at a competitive disadvantage.Why it matters: Garlinghouse's comments may seem self-serving, but his call for clearer crypto rules is consistent with longstanding entreaties from other industry players.History: The SEC in December sued Ripple, and Garlinghouse personally, for allegedly selling over $1.3 billion in unregistered securities.Ripple filed its formal response last Thursday. It argues that its cryptocurrency, called XRP, didn't require registration because it's an asset rather than a security.Ripple secured a separate legal victory…

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), widely seen as a member of the Republican establishment in Congress, will not run for re-election in 2022, he announced on Twitter Monday.Why it matters: The 71-year-old senator is the No. 4-ranking Republican in the Senate, and the fifth GOP senator to announce he will not run for re-election in 2022 as the party faces questions about its post-Trump future.The other GOP senators who have announced their retirement are:Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala., which Trump won in 2020 by +25.4%)Sen. Rob Portman (Ohio, Trump +8.1%)Sen. Richard Burr (N.C., Trump +1.3%)Sen. Pat Toomey (Pa., Biden +1.2%)What to watch: Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are also consi…

Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Monday that New York City's 488 public high schools will reopen for some in-person classes on March 22, after months of distance learning.Why it matters: It's a key pandemic milestone for the biggest public school system in the country, which is made up largely of low-income and minority students, according to the New York Times.The state of play: New York City reopened its public schools for the first time in the fall, but switched to fully remote learning in November after the city's COVID-19 positivity rate surged.Elementary schools partially reopened in December and middle schools in February. Officials focused on younger students first because online l…

The COVID Tracking Project, a volunteer group of data analysts, researchers, and journalists brought together by The Atlantic, published its final daily update on Monday — the one-year anniversary of its founding.Why it matters: The project quickly became a vital resource for news media, academic researchers, and everyday Americans to track COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the absence of reliable and public data from the federal government.Where it stands: Eric Kissane and Alexis Madrigal, co-founders of the project, point to the release of hospitalization data from the Health and Human Services Department, the CDC's vaccine tracker, and county-level testing data from the CDC…

The imminent enactment of Democrats' $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package creates space for lawmakers and the White House to craft infrastructure plans with big climate and energy-related provisions.Why it matters: President Biden, during the campaign, vowed to make low-carbon energy, climate-resilient infrastructure and transportation projects a big focus of an economic recovery package. And the Texas power crisis could give fresh momentum to investments in grid modernization.What we're watching: A major package isn't expected to come up for votes for months, but Capitol Hill hearings this week and going forward will offer glimpses into lawmakers' thinking.They include...On Wednesday, the…

The biggest event for markets this week will be Thursday's meeting of the European Central Bank's governing council and the press conference following it from ECB president Christine Lagarde.Why it matters: With interest rates jumping around the globe, investors are looking to central bank heads to see if they will follow the lead of Fed chair Jerome Powell, who says rising rates are nothing to worry about, or Bank of Japan governor Haruhiko Kuroda, who has drawn a line in the sand on rates.The big picture: Government bond yields are rising because central bankers say they want inflation, but rising inflation expectations come with higher borrowing costs in a world that already is indebted …

The filing argued that Ken Paxton abused his power by launching an investigation in retaliation for the platform’s suspension of former President Donald Trump.

The president’s “preference” is the status quo, the White House says. Activists don’t think that’s sustainable.

And that’s a problem for the former royals who are bankrolling their escape with new media ventures.

U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth said Jacob Chansley’s statements underscored his ongoing dangerousness after storming the Capitol.

Harry and Meghan’s struggle is a Rorschach test for whether you look at problems as a liberal or a conservative.

President Joe Biden is fulfilling a campaign promise to allow Venezuelan exiles to live and work legally in the U.S. given the crisis in their home country.

The committee's top lawyer says in a new letter to Trump's attorney that the former president signed off on the RNC's activities in a conversation with chair Ronna McDaniel.

The project had suffered repeated delays under the Trump administration.

Derek Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in George Floyd’s death.

"This landmark step sends a clear message that children and young people can return to the extracurricular activities they love without being at risk of grooming by the very adults they should look to for support and guidance," he added.

"My worry with giving the powers to a bigger council area is that they would still be as remote.

I mean they might as well be Westminster, as far as we're concerned, because they're still not here they still don't know our town."

"While a Zoom spokesperson noted that the transfer is consistent with the Yuans' typical estate planning practices, investors will be nervous until we find out who is the recipient of the stock," he added.

And while for many people it's been a really exciting time, for those with social anxiety there's a worry about how they'll adapt to life after lockdown.

Social anxiety disorder is a fear of social situations and includes worrying about meeting strangers, how to act with groups of friends and generally feeling self-conscious.

Oli thinks that coming out of lockdown will be hard for people with social anxiety as they've got used to their life being a certain way.

"I'd say the roadmap out of lockdown has made social anxiety sufferers like myself more anxious.

She says you should also stop yourself from thinking back to previous social situations you've found uncomfortable and concentrate on wh…

"We have offered ever since over a year ago that she would be willing to serve that kind of a sentence and to make a contribution in Harry's memory, to take other steps to try to bring some peace to the family."

Only two replied: one to argue that its services help new businesses to get started and that it was not breaking any Google terms and conditions; and another to deny that it had ever sold any fake reviews and that Which?

Film committee chair Marc Samuelson added: "One of the key issues raised time and time again... was that too much deserving work was not being seen.

The changes we are implementing are designed to ensure these films are seen and judged on merit alone."

In a TikTok video, Samantha Hartsoe films her discovery of a hidden apartment that had been right behind her bathroom mirror.

She then decides she needs to see what is on the other side for herself and crawls through a small hole to reach the secret apartment.

In an effort to expedite the process, the US is pulling out all the stops and calling in all the favours.

The UN, kept largely on the sidelines until now, is shifting to centre stage to confer greater international legitimacy on the process, and make it easier for neighbours who have long meddled in Afghanistan to sit around the same table.

Mr Blinken's letter also proposed a high-level meeting in Turkey to bring warring sides together.

Sweden has a tech-savvy population that isn't known for small-talk, so it's easy to see why the model has taken off here, despite critics warning that it would make shopping a less sociable experience.

And, during the pandemic when people have been encouraged to limit contact with others, its lack of staff has been a major bonus.

The chain has opened 20 new shops in rural neighbourhoods since March last year.

It is not clear who is responsible for this latest wave of abductions.

But the north-west is home to criminal gangs who kidnap for ransom.

Analysts believe some of these groups may have loose connections to Boko Haram, but is unclear how strong these ties are.

According to an estimate by the Asian Development Bank, the city has been generating an extra 280 tonnes of medical waste per day, since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.
