"We know that people who live with kids are generally more healthy and have a slightly lower risk of dying of anything.

Researchers also took into account other factors such as smoking, socioeconomic deprivation, ethnicity and chronic health problems.

"Many would agree if we can keep schools open, that's really important for this generation of young people, and this study contributes one part of that equation: that there's no net harmful effect to living with children."

The architect who created the sculpture, Maarten Struijs, was shocked it held u

"I am amazed that it is so strong," Struijs said, according to The Guardian. "When plastic has stood for 20 years, you don't expect it to hold up a metro train."

The consistency of the partisan jobs gap contrasts with a shifting pattern of infections and deaths.

Furthermore, local economies are struggling in places where more people can work from home.

In other words, redder places had milder job losses, and the relationship is strong.

Other factors that are correlated with partisanship are also systematically related to job losses during the pandemic.

So that means more than two-thirds of the partisan gap can be explained by local job mix, size of the population, and cost of living.

The coronavirus recession is unusual in that services employment (like at restaurants) has declined more than goods-sector employment (like at factories). All other recent recessions have hit goods-related industries worse, which tend to be more concentrated in Republican-leaning places.

perhaps the hope that everything will work out for him in the end, the way it did four years ago when he surprised himself, his advisers and the world by winning the White House.

Seldom far from Mr. Trump’s thoughts, however, is the possibility of defeat — and the potential consequences of being ejected from the White House.

He is concerned not only about existing investigations in New York, but the potential for new federal probes as well, according to people who have spoken with him.

He has also mused about prematurely declaring victory Tuesday night, but if there’s any organized plan to do so his top lieutenants are not conveying it to their allies.

Mr. Trump’s advisers do continue to believe he has a realistic chance of besting Mr. Biden, but they concede it would take a last-minute breakthrough in one of the Great Lakes states where he is currently trailing.

Though Mr. Trump has reconstituted parts of his 2016 inner circle in the waning days of the race, the operation lacks a figure who is both willing and able to force the president to stick to a script.

Some Republicans appear to be looking past the end of the Trump era, whether that comes on Tuesday night or in another few years.

Democrats and national voting rights advocates quickly moved to defend the ballots this weekend, but there’s also been some high profile Republican opposition to the suit.

It is that like 2016 (although I could bore on for some time about why this is not quite true) the polls are wrong and Donald Trump wins a second term.

Likewise Pennsylvania, where in the west of the state white working-class voters could be what pushes the president over the line.

The one other reason that a Trump victory would not surprise me in the least is that Joe Biden is hardly an inspiring campaigner.

And this is the possibility that not only does Biden win, he wins big

Unlike 2016, when Donald Trump had a very clear message to the American people - he wanted to build a wall, he wanted to keep Muslims out, he wanted to renegotiate trade deals, he wanted to bring back manufacturing - in 2020 he's struggled to articulate what a second term would be about.

And after billions of dollars spent, you end up in total gridlocked, legal quagmire, America divided hell.

It's an ecological disaster so big, the army have been called in.

But scientists are now worried about many endangered species - including the Kangaroo Island dunnart, a mouse-like marsupial, and the glossy black-cockatoo.

"We're struggling to look for remnants of intact vegetation where some species may still be present," says Caroline, tearfully.

Kangaroo Island is one of Australia's most important wildlife sanctuaries, renowned for its biodiversity. Now it's feared that half of the island (more than 215,000 hectares) has been scorched.

"A lot of the flora and fauna there are distinctive because a lot of the island's habitats remained fairly pristine. It's like stepping back in time when you cross to Kangaroo Island.

"They are likely to have perished in the flames and for those who've survived, their habitats are gone," says Prof Dickman.

"We have no way of knowing exactly what has been lost. [But] if you don't have habitat, you don't have species."

It's estimated that half of the Kangaroo Island's 50,000 koalas have perished in the fires - a huge loss for a population that was thriving here.

A section of the outside grounds has been turned into a makeshift clinic. Volunteers race to treat as many animals as possible.

And, says Sam, the worst may not be over.

The ban will mean that any activities or meetings by the group could lead to fines or imprisonment, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said.

Tensions between France and Turkey also intensified recently after French President Emmanuel Macron's pledge to defend secular values and fight radical Islam.

It came after French teacher Samuel Paty was murdered after showing his students controversial images of the Prophet Muhammad.

The campaign takes a distinctly different approach to campaigns in other countries, which have pushed to reduce sugar consumption.

The government has taken an interventionist approach, using subsidies to help sell Indian sugar overseas, an approach that has been opposed by other sugar-producing nations.

For all others, the test is optional – but a strict 10-day quarantine is required for those who choose to not get tested, The Lancet reports.

One goal of the program is to keep the nation's hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.

Some have been critical of the government's plan.

"This could undermine public trust towards testing and all other pandemic containment measures," she told The Lancet.

Nevada's Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske, a Republican, told legislators earlier this year that there were no cases of fraud during the state's primary election in June, which was conducted almost entirely by mail.

The lawsuit had also asked for an immediate halt to counting and verification of mail ballots, but Wilson rejected that request shortly after the suit was filed last month.

The GOP lawsuit was filed on Oct. 23, just 11 days before the general election.

Slovakia undertook a massive effort over the weekend: to test nearly all adults in the country for the coronavirus.

Amid a steep spike in cases, more than 3.6 million Slovaks were tested for the virus, according to Prime Minister Igor Matovic – that's about two-thirds of the population.

The tests were free, and conducted at some 5,000 testing sites around the country, with assistance from Slovakia's military.

For all others, the test is optional – but a strict 10-day quarantine is required for those who choose to not get tested, The Lancet reports.

One goal of the program is to keep the nation's hospitals from becoming overwhelmed.

Matovič said that the government's scientific advisory team had recommended a three-week lockdown for all, rather than the testing program, but he said a lockdown would cause too much economic pain, according to The Lancet.

Some have been critical of the government's plan.

Police later explained that they didn't arrest him at the scene because it was chaotic.

“The defendant doesn't want to be here and if released won't come back,” Binger said.

A legal defense fund for Rittenhouse has attracted millions of dollars in donations.

“Kyle Rittenhouse thinks he's above the law,” Huber said. “He's been treated as much by law enforcement. For him to run wouldn't surprise me.”

President Donald Trump has said Rittenhouse's actions might have been warranted, suggesting that the protesters might have killed him.

Grosskreutz's attorney, Kimberley Motley, asked for $4 million bail, calling Rittenhouse's behavior “inexcusable.”

Keating set bail at $2 million, saying Rittenhouse has no ties to Kenosha, he fled the state after the shootings and he faces life in prison if convicted.

The shootings happened two days after a white police officer trying to arrest Jacob Blake shot the 29-year-old Black man seven times in the back, paralyzing him from the waist down. Video of the shooting sparked several nights of protests in Kenosha, a city of about 100,000 on the Wisconsin-Illinois border.

In tactics, message and approach, Trump has not strayed far from his last campaign.

This year may look different, Dowd said. But Trump "basically has not changed since he came down the escalator."

Though the state of the nation and the mood of the electorate is far different than in 2016, that has not stopped Trump or his team trying to recreate the moments they believe helped him win four years ago.

he can see Trump is benefiting from more organic movement by his supporters.

The adviser said the campaign should have been focused more on Biden's early efforts to attract support from the progressive wing of his party.

Once again, President Trump is scheduled to close out his campaign with a stop back in Michigan Monday night.

Things will heat up Wednesday and into next week, however, as the court gets into cases on more hot-button issues.

Professor Paul Spoonley, Pro Vice-Chancellor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Massey University, believes New Zealand's parliament is the most diverse in the nation's history in terms of gender, ethnic and indigenous representation.

So how can Americans move past their differences and find a way to heal their divides?

Healing is possible, they say, but people have to be willing to try.

"You have to uncover and acknowledge what has been done wrong before you can fully move forward."

Johnson says that the importance lies in teaching people the truth.

"Why do divides exist? I think they exist because people feel aggrieved, because they haven't felt seen and heard, because they feel as though their dignity has been stripped from them, that they feel trapped. And when people feel these things, they hunker down and protect themselves, build walls and form smaller and smaller groups that they belong to where they want to fight it out with other groups."

"It's going to take us taking small steps forward, rebuilding our trust, restoring our belief in ourselves and one another and knowing that we can get things done together."

"Love cures all of that," Head says.

He says there is a pervasive idea in society that if you open up conflict, it's going to disrupt a community and cause divisions, so it's best to keep quiet.

You have to talk about conflict in order to have a functional community.

O'Neil says that it's powerful for people to see that you can have a disagreement and still keep a relationship intact, and that the knowledge that this is possible brings "a sense of openness and willingness to engage and courage in future conversations with those who disagree with them."

This comes as Samaniego faces legal challenges from state officials who say he has no authority to impose a countywide shelter-in-place order that shutters nonessential businesses in El Paso and its surrounding areas.

Businesses considered essential can remain open, including child care facilities, polling sites and grocery stores, the order says.

As of Monday morning, El Paso health officials have reported 51,536 confirmed coronavirus cases and 605 virus-related deaths.

Snowden has lived in Russia since 2013, having initially been granted asylum

He faces criminal charges in the U.S. including espionage and theft of government property related to the leak.

Snowden also faces other legal repercussions.

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia sided with U.S. officials who said that by not submitting the book for a pre-publication review, Snowden violated nondisclosure agreements he signed while working for the NSA and CIA.

Over the weekend, the prime minister announced that pubs, restaurants, gyms, nonessential shops and places of worship would be closed starting Thursday.

Johnson, who has received heavy criticism for his handling of the crisis, had initially refused to consider a second lockdown, despite the advice of scientists who warned the country was risking a new spike in cases and deaths.

The decision from No. 10 Downing St. to renew extraordinary measures to control the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 comes as other countries in Europe are facing similar dilemmas.

France imposed a stricter lockdown on Friday

Germany also ordered the closing of restaurants, bars, gyms and theaters starting this week

Other European countries, such as Spain and Italy, have seen a surge in new cases as well.
