* 德國總理梅克爾 (Angela Merkel) 對上周洪水造成的驚人破壞表示震驚。梅克爾夫人周日訪問了德國西部的受災地區,與倖存者和急救人員交談。
目前已知德國和比利時至少有 188 人在洪水中喪生。大雨繼續肆虐,洪水現在轉移至奧地利和德國南部的部分地區。
緊急救援人員從奧地利薩爾茲堡地區的家中救出一些人,當地城鎮街道被洪水淹沒。消防隊表示,首都維也納週六晚上一小時內的降雨量超過前七週。
在上巴伐利亞地區,大雨淹沒了地下室和道路,造成一人死亡。
與此同時,在德國西部,在居民從下游房屋撤離後,波恩西南部的斯坦巴赫塔爾大壩,仍然面臨破裂的風險。
歐洲領導人認知洪水是氣候變化的危機,百年大洪水也影響了瑞士、盧森堡和荷蘭。
專家表示,全球變暖使暴雨更有可能發生。自工業時代開始以來,地球已經升溫了約 1.2 攝氏度。

*英國冒險解封前夕,英國首相Boris Johnson 與新冠病毒檢測呈陽性的衛生部長薩吉德·賈維德 (Sajid Javid) 接觸後,現在正在自我隔離。

* 南非決定定下一個日期紀念Nelson Mandela 曼德拉紀念日。南非總統敦促人們在212 人死亡的騷亂之後,幫助重建國家,這才是紀念這位反種族隔離英雄曼德拉的方式。
西里爾·拉馬福薩說:“我能說的一件積極的事情是,這一事件讓我們前所未有地團結在一起。”
人們在受騷亂影響最嚴重的地區分發食物。暴力事件是由前總統雅各布祖魯入獄引發的。
他於 7 月 7 日向警方自首,以藐視法庭罪服刑 15 個月。
這位 79 歲的老人因在擔任總統期間未能出席調查回答有關腐敗的問題而被判有罪。
週一,祖魯先生將通過視訊出席另一場與 1990 年代價值 50 億美元(30 億英鎊)軍火交易有關的腐敗審判。
他對這些指控表示不認罪,他的律師現在以暴力事件為由呼籲推遲審判。
南非首位民選總統曼德拉於 2013 年去世,享年 95 歲,當時祖魯擔任總統。
每年在曼德拉的生日——7 月 18 日——人們花 67 分鐘幫助他人,以紀念他曼德拉67 年的牢獄及公衆奉獻。

* 英國衞生部長表示,將在幾天內做出決定何時向 18 歲以下青少年提供 Covid 疫苗的決定。
社區部長Robert Jenrick表示,政府“非常謹慎思考12 至 17 歲兒童進行注射BNT的疫苗是否正確。
目前英國幾乎每個成年人都獲得了至少一劑疫苗,首相稱讚這一“非凡的成就”。
英格蘭和蘇格蘭將從周一開始放寬限制。
但週五和周六每天都記錄了超過 50,000 例冠狀病毒病例——這一水平只在 病情最劇烈時1 月份出現。
根據最新數據,到目前為止,約有 88% 的成年人接種了第一劑,約 68% 的成年人接種過兩劑。
疫苗接種和免疫聯合委員會 (JCVI) 就應該向哪些人,提供疫苗向政府部長提出建議。Jenrick 先生告訴 BBC 的 Andrew Marr Show:“我們仍在等待 JCVI 關於將疫苗接種計劃擴展到年輕人的最終建議。
“這似乎是一件明智的事情。到目前為止,我們收到的證據令人信服,部長們將在未來幾天內根據這些建議做出決定。”
如果獲得批准,那些剛滿 18 歲的人可能被邀請首先接種疫苗,還有那些有健康脆弱性的人和與其他更脆弱的人同住的兒童。

mandela day 在 Facebook 的精選貼文
The power of Forgiveness.
Nelson Mandela wrote,
“As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn’t leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I’d still be in prison,” after 27 years served in prison, tortured and humiliated.
At the end of the day, forgiveness is really not for other person’s benefit at all, it’s for our own. Look into your past and forgive others, look into your heart and forgive yourself.
It doesn’t change the past, but it does enlarge the future, as forgiveness is the only way leading to inner freedom, once you release the tight grasp you’ve been holding on resentment.
As you do, you’ll heal yourself, breathing fresh air that your heart has been craving for. I tried, it worked, amazingly, and I’ve never been so free and loved.
Selamat Hari Raya to all my Muslim friend,
Maaf Zahir and Batin 🙏🏻
