Tesla is suing local authorities in California as the electric carmaker pushes to reopen its factory there and chief executive Elon Musk threatens to move the company’s headquarters to Texas or Nevada.

Musk has been pushing to reopen Tesla’s Fremont, California, factory after Alameda County’s health department said the carmaker must not reopen because local lockdown measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus remain in effect.

Одно из самых страшных мест Второй мировой войны.
Мясной Бор — деревня в Новгородской области, недалеко от границы с Ленинградской обл., где в январе — марте 1942 г. в ходе кровопролитных сражений была окружена и погибла 2–ая ударная армия Волховского фронта, под командованием генерала Власова (того самого), пытавшаяся прорвать блокаду Ленинграда. По разным оценкам погибло от 50 до 130 тыс. человек. Около 30 тысяч попало в плен.
Армия дралась вообще без всякого снабжения в промёрзших ледяных болотах, питаясь мертвыми лошадьми и корой с деревьев. К чести генерала, надо отметить, что он отказался эвакуироваться последним самолетом, предпочтя разделить участь со своими солдатами.

Александр Понятов (1892–1980) — американский инженер, основатель и президент компании Ampex, которая выпустила в 1956 году первый коммерческий видеомагнитофон. До появления этого изобретения единственным способом записи телепередач была съемка кинескопа на пленку, что давало посредственное качество изображения и было дорогостоящим. Так многие ранние телепередачи вообще не попали в архивы. С помощью видеомагнитофона стало возможным записывать передачи и транслировать их через несколько часов в другом часовом поясе. Изобретение было настолько революционным, что коллектив авторов VRX–1000 получил в 1957 году премию «Эмми».

Александр Матвеевич — выходец из крестьянской (позже купеческой) семьи Казанской губернии, учился в ИМТУ и в Германии, ветеран Первой мировой, воевал в Белой армии, иммигрировал в Китай, позже жил во Франции, затем стал гражданином США. Будучи уже 50–летним инженером, в 1944 организовал в своем гараже в Сан–Франциско фирму AMPEX (Alexander М. Poniatoff EXcellence), которая сначала работала на оборонку. После войны Ampex занялась выпуском аудиомагнитофонов. С 1951 года фирма вела разработку технологии записи видео на магнитную ленту и к 1956 представила первый серийный коммерческий образец видеомагнитофона, который опережал прототипы конкурентов: в Ampex VRX–1000 вместо того, чтобы увеличивать скорость движения магнитной ленты, магнитные головки в видеокамере и видеомагнитофоне закреплены на вращающемся с высокой скоростью барабане, что позволило значительно снизить скорость лентопротяжного механизма (а значит, и расход ленты).

На видеопленку Ampex в частности записаны «кухонные дебаты» Никсона и Хрущева (ч1 ч2).
В самом СССР из–за эмбарго пришлось самостоятельно разработать свой видеомагнитофон в 1958–1960 гг.

French health officials on Saturday announced another 80 deaths from the new coronavirus, the lowest figure recorded over 24 hours since early April.

The number of coronavirus cases worldwide topped four million as some of the hardest-hit countries readied Sunday to lift lockdown restrictions, despite concerns about a second wave of infections.

Ahmad al-Mostafa can't afford milk for his baby daughter. A Syrian refugee, he has barely been able to feed his family since Lebanon sank into economic crisis last year. But now, a coronavirus lockdown has made things even worse.

On Thursday, the French government confirmed that the country will begin a “gradual” easing of its Covid-19 lockdown measures on Monday, May 11. Here’s everything you need to know about the restrictions being lifted.

South Korea's capital has ordered the closure of all clubs and bars after a burst of new cases sparked fears of a second coronavirus wave as President Moon Jae-in urged the public to remain vigilant.

Elite clubs will prey on desperate ones in the hunt for bargains as the game reels from its biggest financial hit since the 1930s

Even at the time – in 2017 – the fee Paris Saint-Germain paid Barcelona for Neymar was extraordinary: £198m was 125% more than the previous record, set a year earlier when Manchester United had signed Paul Pogba from Juventus. Transfer records simply aren’t broken by that amount in the usual run of things. It was a statement signing, a deal designed not only to land the player, but to emphasise PSG’s financial power, to highlight their status as a super-club while inflating the market to a level at which only the mega-rich could compete.

Three years on, with football suspended across the globe and major leagues desperately seeking ways to get games on to stave off financial apocalypse, the world looks very different. A model predicated on constant growth has received an abrupt shock.

State reports 73 cases of children falling severely ill with toxic shock-like reaction that has symptoms similar to Kawasaki disease

The deaths of three children in New York of inflammatory complications possibly linked to Covid-19 has prompted Andrew Cuomo, the state’s governor, to warn of “an entirely different chapter” of a disease that had been believed to cause only mild symptoms in children.

The governor reported the first death, of a five-year old boy, on Friday. At his morning press conference on Saturday, Cuomo raised the number of fatalities to three, after the death of a seven-year-old and a teenager.

South Korea has reported 34 new coronavirus cases, the highest daily number in a month, after a small outbreak emerged around a slew of nightclubs that a confirmed patient had visited.

Of the new cases announced on Sunday, 26 were domestically transmitted infections and eight were imported cases, the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said.

Since the UK confirmed its first case, its response has proved one of the least effective

It is 100 days since the first coronavirus case was confirmed in the UK on 31 January. The official death toll so far from the epidemic has topped 33,000 and is still rising fast. The actual total could be far higher, many analysts say – leaving Britain among the countries hit hardest by Covid-19.

The government has struggled to get on top of the crisis, facing growing criticism for its lack of early preparation to tackle the virus, its abrupt shifts in strategy, its failure to provide adequate protective equipment for its medical staff and other key workers, and its inability to organise testing on the scale that many say is vital.

Malaysia’s government extended the time frame for movement and business curbs by another four weeks to 9 June, amid a gradual reopening of economic activity stunted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier this week, businesses were allowed to resume business as usual, albeit under strict health guidelines, after having to close shop for two months as health authorities worked to contain the pandemic. Malaysia has so far reported 6,589 cases with 108 deaths.

The government says "operational issues" in the UK meant 50,000 samples had to be flown to US labs.

Boris Johnson is also expected to unveil a new message to "stay alert, control the virus, save lives".

A two-week course of antiviral therapy that combines the power of three drugs has shown promise in treating hospitalised patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 in a carefully undertaken phase 2 clinical trial.

The results of the trial, published in the journal The Lancet, involved 127 adults from six public hospitals in Hong Kong.

The drug combination tested in the trial included interferon beta-1b, which was developed to treat multiple sclerosis (MS), and lopinavir-ritonavir, which is normally used to treat HIV and ribavirin, an oral hepatitis C virus drug.

The findings of the phase two trial provided evidence that early treatment with triple antiviral therapy alongside standard care is safe and shortens duration of viral shedding (when the virus is detectable and potentially transmissible) compared to lopinavir-ritonavir alone—average seven days vs 12 days—in patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

"Our trial demonstrates that early treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 with a triple combination of antiviral drugs may rapidly suppress the amount of virus in a patient's body, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk to healthcare workers by reducing the duration and quantity of viral shedding," said professor Kwok-Yung Yuen from the University of Hong Kong who led the research.

No new cases in Hong Kong as restrictions ease

Hong Kong recorded no new COVID-19 case on Saturday, a day after the city eased restrictions. Saturday was also the 20th day in a row with no local infections. Health experts earlier suggested that Hong Kong could be considered to be free of local transmission if there were no such cases after 28 days.
