'So what'? Bolsonaro's response to coronavirus deaths riles Brazilians – video https://t.co/Tu9buqiFpJ

German is a wonderfully precise language. This, from The Times: ‘’Mrs Merkel has dismissed what she called Öffnungsdiskussionsorgien, loosely meaning “orgies of debate about opening things up”.

Venezue­lan Pres­i­dent Nicolás Maduro says he’s tapping ances­tral wis­dom when he shares the recipe for a gin­ger-lemon tea with pur­ported an­ti­coro­n­avirus ben­e­fits. Twitter blocks his posts. https://t.co/8RE6kIktOu

"The previous version of Johnson’s EU Withdrawal Agreement Bill included a clause that protected MPs’ involvement in Brexit. But when Johnson was re-elected in December with a large majority, he swiftly removed this clause."

".. Johnson’s nasty opportunism is not that different from the approach taken by Cameron and George Osborne, two people whose role in Britain’s current disaster is still under-appreciated." https://t.co/DM7HScOomV

“The dog ate my news conference”

"Wall of sound". It quite literally is.

[Jon Stone @joncstone]

Wall of sound and booing from the British ex-pat protest when Boris Johnson arrives. Not sure how they’re going to be able to do a press conference here

Sehr alarmierend ist auch, wie Björn Höcke und sein Sprecher versuchen dem ZDF-Journalisten die Pressefreiheit zu entziehen, indem sie ihn damit bedrängen das Interview nochmal neu zu beginnen. Björn Höcke droht ihm dann sogar noch mit "massiven Konsequenzen".

[Georg Restle @georgrestle]

Der Abbruch des Interviews ist das eine. Dass AfD-Abgeordnete keinen Unterschied zwischen Höcke-Reden und „Mein Kampf“ feststellen können, das viel bedrückendere andere. Abgesehen von den erbärmlichen Versuchen, Nazi-Vokabular zu verharmlosen. https://t.co/QujAHXgpxM

According to official U.S. documents, Venezuela's former president, Hugo Chávez worked with the Colombian FARC in order to flood the U.S. with cocaine and destabilize the country. https://t.co/nSXZVo1iRT

"A classmate, Max Stier, saw Mr. Kavanaugh with his pants down at a different drunken dorm party, where friends pushed his penis into the hand of a female student. Mr. Stier ... notified senators and the F.B.I. ... but the F.B.I. did not investigate." https://t.co/RlyPh8odia

Kann #Lehrermangel in Grundschulen voll nachvollziehen. Wie soll man auch so früh schon wissen, wieviele Kinder 6 Jahre später (!) in eine Schule wollen?!?

Is this really happening?

This:
I was the only journalist from British print media in Dublin today. No 10 refused to take any questions from any journalist from British print media, because there was no-one there for "the lobby" - Westminster political corps. I would have asked on proroguing; Rudd, law

Bolsonaro claims that the Amazon fires are under control. These images tell a different story. https://t.co/lvkJmR9H17

From 1900 to 1950, Latin American incomes were roughly 40% that of US incomes - higher than Southern Europe and Southeast Asia. But then Latam turned inward as other regions focused on exports. Nowadays, Latam average income is <30% that of US. https://t.co/10Uyu81zjo

[Felicia Bryson @feliB]

@davidmackau Yes. Yes, it is.

[Felicia Bryson @feliB]

The Brazilian president makes a weak attempt at deflecting blame from himself.
“This week, he [Bolsonaro] suggested, entirely without evidence, that environmental groups might have started the fires to embarrass his government.” https://t.co/LCJnuoBakT

Ich stehe Euch Fleischessern ja sehr liebevoll gegenüber, aber wenn ihr die Brände im #Amazonas seht, was denkt ihr denn da? #vegan

The Amazon is reaching a dangerous tipping-point. Beyond this, the rainforest is unlikely to survive https://t.co/zGKZV49vwI
