Queen ‘determined to host family Christmas’ at Sandringham despite health scare

Last week it was revealed the Queen, 95, spent a night at London’s King Edward VII´s Hospital – her first in eight years – to undergo medical tests.

The monarch pulled out of a trip to Northern Ireland at the last minute – her first cancelled royal duty in 15 years – and is no longer attending the COP26 summit as planned.

On Friday she was advised by doctors to rest for a further two weeks and undertake only ‘desk-based duties’, but she is keen to make a speedy recovery in time for Christmas.

The monarch believes hosting a festive family gathering at Sandringham will be ‘the perfect tonic’ after an unsettled year of cancelled engagements due to Covid-19.

A royal insider told the Mirror: ’This year, more than ever, it is incredibly important to Her Majesty to be surrounded by her loved ones.

‘The Queen is totally committed to hosting everyone as she hopes to make it back to full health in the coming weeks.’

‘After being forced to cancel a host of engagements, the family get-together will be the perfect tonic.’

This Christmas will be the Queen’s first since her husband of 73 years Prince Philip died in April, so spending it with loved ones will be all the more significant.

It could also be her first opportunity to meet her great-granddaughter Lilibet, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expected to pay a visit to the UK.

As the head of state awaits test results, Boris Johnson said she was ‘on very good form’ during their weekly conversation earlier this week.

Visiting Rome for a G20 summit, he said: ‘She has been told by her doctors that she has got to rest and I think we have got to respect that and understand that and everybody wishes her all the very best.’

While the Queen will have to miss an number of big events in the coming weeks, she says she has the ‘firm intention’ to attend a Remembrance Sunday ceremony in London on November 14.

In a statement earlier this week, Buckingham Palace said: ‘Following on from their recent advice that the Queen should rest for a few days, Her Majesty’s doctors have advised that she should continue to rest for at least the next two weeks.

‘The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time, including some virtual audiences [the receiving of ambassadors], but not to undertake any official visits.

‘Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday November 13.

‘However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on November 14.’

Ed Sheeran Says He ‘Thought He was a Bit Gay’; Loves Musical Theater, Pop Music, Britney

Published by
BANG Showbiz English

Ed Sheeran “thought [he] was gay for a bit” during his childhood.

The 30-year-old pop star has revealed he used to question his sexuality because he loved musicals and songs by Britney Spears as a child.

He shared: “I have a definite feminine side, to the point that when I was a kid I thought I was gay for a bit.

“I definitely have a big feminine side. I love musical theatre, I love pop music, I love Britney Spears.

“My masculine side probably stops at drinking beer and watching football.”

The ‘Perfect’ hitmaker – who is an Ipswich Town fan – actually prefers women’s soccer to the men’s game.

And Ed revealed that he converted to the women’s game after his daughter, Lyra, was born in August last year.

He told the ‘Man Man Man’ podcast: “I watched it and I was like, ‘I don’t know why I watch male football, this is much better’.

“I am not a hugely masculine person anyway. I am not a car guy. I like a nice car, but I’m not a car guy.”

Ed admits that his wife, Cherry Seaborn, has had a huge impact on how he looks at life.

He explained: “My wife is super pro-women and femininity.

“As soon as we started dating, my life shifted to that.”

Meanwhile, Ed recently revealed that he’s “cool with everyone” in the music industry.

The singer is often praised for being one of the most likeable people in the industry, but Ed insists the most of his closest pals are actually from his childhood days.

Ed – who lives in Suffolk in England – shared: “I get on with pretty much everyone but in terms of very close personal connections, like people I’d invite to my house for dinner or to hang out with my daughter, I can count them on my fingers.

“I’m cool with everyone. I’ll have nights out with loads of people, but many of the other people in the industry I meet are the same – their closest friends are the people they’ve known for years, people they grew up with.”

Pete Buttigieg says supply chain crisis could continue

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg warned that the devastating global supply chain troubles that continue to be a drag on the economy and threaten gift giving during the holiday season could continue as long as the coronavirus pandemic.

“There are definitely going to continue to be issues, especially as long as the pandemic continues, right? If you have, for example, the third largest container port in the world in China shutting down because of a COVID outbreak in late summer, you’ll feel that in the fall here on the West Coast,” Buttigieg told host Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday.”

He said Americans are buying more goods but the supply chain is not keeping up the pace and suggested that President Biden’s trillion dollar bipartisan infrastructure plan and social spending package could help to beat back inflation and fix the supply chain woes.

“For the long term, the best thing we can do about that is invest in our infrastructure. For the very short time, there are steps we can take in and around the ports that we think are helping,” Buttigieg told Wallace.

“And in the medium-term, again, at risk of repeating myself, if we really want to see all of these disruptions end, we’ve got to end the pandemic. That’s what getting everybody vaccinated is all about,” Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Ind., said.

Wallace pointed out that since Biden announced that the Port of Los Angeles was going to operate 24/7, the number of cargo ships waiting offshore has increased from 56 to 77, and at the Port of Long Beach 2,000 appointments for truckers went largely unused.

“Now, we’re taking the actions that we know that we can as an honest broker in the administration, phenomenal work by our ports envoy, working with different players to get the gates of the ports open longer, to work with the truckers, the rail players, we’re seeing expanded hours — all of that’s good,” Buttigieg said.

“But let’s remember, we are talking about global imbalances between demand, which is off the charts right now, and supply, which is racing to keep up,” he continued.

Wallace asked Buttigieg, who was a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, whether House Democrats would pass either of Biden’s bills this week, as some expect a Tuesday vote.

“What I know is we’re the closest that we’ve ever been and it looks like we’re teed up for major action soon. And the president is sounding that note of urgency not just because the president needs it, but because the country needs it,” the transportation secretary said.

“You look at the need for action on the climate before it’s too late. You look at the need to support our economy for the long run, to make our economy more competitive, to deal with issues like inflation which will benefit — we’ll have better tools for fighting inflation if we pass this economic package,” he added.

At the Port of Long Beach, 2,000 appointments for truckers went largely unused.

The $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $1.75 trillion social spending bill are in jeopardy of failing as progressive Democrats in the House squabble with Democrat moderates in the Senate, namely Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.

Progressives, led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), believe both pieces of legislation are a package deal, and refuse to vote on the infrastructure bill until the Senate passes Biden’s massive spending plan.

The Senate has already passed the infrastructure bill.

Trump seeks to block Jan 6 panel’s access to his notes, call logs

Published by
Reuters

By Jason Lange

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Former President Donald Trump is seeking to block Jan. 6 investigators from seeing hundreds of pages of White House documents that include his handwritten notes as well as phone call logs, the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration told a court late on Friday.

A congressional panel has asked the National Archives – the U.S. government’s official body for preserving government records and making them publicly available – to release nearly 1,600 pages of documents as part of their investigation into the deadly Jan. 6 assault by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol.

Trump, however, has demanded that about 760 pages be withheld, the National Archives said in a filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

The former president is arguing that normal rules for the secrecy of White House documents should apply and that the congressional panel, which includes Trump critics from the Democratic and Republican parties, is a “witch hunt.”

But President Joe Biden has waived the secrecy rules, arguing it is in the nation’s interest to understand Trump’s role in the attempt by his supporters to overturn Biden’s victory over Trump in the November 2020 presidential election.

Trump urged supporters to attend a Jan. 6 rally, telling them it “will be wild.” Then at the rally he urged them to march on the Capitol and “show strength,” making false claims that he lost the election because of fraud. Shortly afterward, supporters violently broke into the U.S. Capitol and tried to stop lawmakers from certifying Biden’s victory. Four people died on the day of the violence, one shot dead by police and the other three of natural causes.

The Democrat-controlled House impeached Trump for inciting insurrection. He was later acquitted in the U.S. Senate.

The records Trump wants kept from investigators include “daily presidential diaries, schedules, appointments showing White House visitors, activity logs [and] call logs,” according to the court filing by the National Archives.

The records could shed light on “what was occurring at the White House immediately before, during and after the January 6 attack,” according to the filing.

Trump is also seeking to block access to documents from binders kept by former Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

A Nov. 4 hearing has been scheduled to consider Trump’s claim of executive privilege.

Thousands demonstrate in Rome as G20 discuss climate

Published by
Reuters

By Angelo Amante

ROME (Reuters) – Thousands of people marched in Rome on Saturday during the summit of the leaders of the Group of 20 major economies, calling on them to act against climate change and ensure fair access to COVID-19 vaccines.

Climate activists led the march, carrying colourful placards, playing drums and dancing as they demanded world leaders save the planet.

“We are holding this protest for environmental and social issues and against the G20, which continues undaunted on a path that has almost led us to social and ecological failure,” said protester Edoardo Mentrasti.

They marched alongside students and groups of workers in a city on high security alert, with up to 6,000 police and about 500 soldiers deployed to maintain order. Metro stations have been closed and bus routes diverted due to the G20 summit.

Italian police are particularly anxious about unrest after recent protests over the country’s mandatory COVID health pass for workers turned violent when neo-fascist activists attacked the headquarters of the CGIL labour union in Rome.

In Saturday’s march, a large banner saying “stop patents, vaccines are a global right” was held by demonstrators parading along the banks of the Tiber river.

In the morning, the G20 leaders kicked off two days of talks where they were set to acknowledge the existential threat of climate change, but stop short of radical new commitments to tame global warming.

“There is an alternative to a development model based on 20 of the world’s most important heads of state meeting in a room and deciding on the fate of the world,” demonstrator Luca Ianniello said.

A separate, smaller protest against the Italian government, was in progress a few kilometres away.

Demonstrators have been kept far from the summit centre, located in a suburb built by the 20th Century fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.
