Beijing test fired two missiles, described as an "aircraft carrier-killer ", as an apparent warning to the U.S. military in response.

EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan has stepped down from his role over the Golfgate scandal. Reports emerged over the weekend that Hogan had travelled across Ireland without respecting COVID-19 restrictions. The move sparked public outrage and the Irish government lost confidence in him. 


Appointed in 2014 as agriculture commissioner, Hogan rose through the ranks to win the coveted trade post under Ursula von der Leyen's EU Commission in December 2019. His departure creates another problem for Von der Leyen, who will need to find a replacement, amid difficult trade talks with America, China and the UK.

The current guidance for safe social distancing may not be enough to stop the spread of COVID-19, a new analysis suggests. In the report, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Oxford say other factors, such as ventilation, crowd size, exposure time and whether face coverings are worn, need to be considered, as well.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, the advice has been to keep at least 1.8 meters away from other people indoors and outdoors. "COVID-19 spreads mainly among people who are in close contact for a prolonged period of time," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some evidence suggests that the coronavirus may travel more than 1.8 meters through activities like coughing and shouting, the researchers wrote.
