There are likely to be delays in the official reading of the results of the US presidential election in Congress. After a group of Republican MPs from the US House of Representatives,
Josh Hawley, a Republican senator, announced that he would appeal the results that day. On January 6th, the House of Representatives and the Senate will meet to read the votes from the states and officially announce the result.
Only then is it official who has won the election. There have long been plans among Trump's Republicans in the House of Representatives to appeal the reading. According to the law, in order to force both chambers to deliberate on the election result,
there must be objections from at least one deputy and one senator. With Hawley's involvement, that requirement would be met. According to the Scientific Service of the US Congress, such protests have only taken place twice since 1887: 1969 and 2005.

The Malaysia-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project has been terminated due to a lack of agreement. The 350-kilometer rail network was expected to be completed by 2026 and cut travel time to 90 minutes.
The bilateral agreement on the project, signed in 2016, had been suspended at Malaysia's request in September 2018. Singapore said it would seek to recover over 250 million Singapore dollars ($189.14 million) should Malaysia cancel the project.
The two countries "remain committed to maintain good bilateral relations, and cooperate closely," a statement said on Friday.   Malaysia and Singapore will work together to determine the amount of compensation owed, Malaysia's economy minister said.

After months of delays caused by the global coronavirus pandemic, African countries formally started trading under a new continent-wide free trade zone on Friday.
The goal of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is to put together 1.3 billion people in an economic bloc of $3.4 trillion, the largest free trade area since the World Trade Organization was created.
It will increase trade between African neighbors and allow the continent to establish its own value chains. It is predicted by the World Bank that by 2035 it will bring tens of millions out of poverty.

#Netherlands #Amsterdam #Coronavirus #VACCINE

Criticism of the corona vaccination strategy is increasing in the Netherlands. Although around 175,000 vaccine doses from the manufacturers Pfizer and Biontech are already stored in a special warehouse in the east of the country,
the country will be the last country in the EU to vaccinate the first people until January 8 and start nationwide on January 18. Despite the criticism, the government does not want to bring the vaccination campaign forward.
This is not possible for logistical reasons. The timetable will not be changed for the time being, said a spokesman for the Ministry of Health.

The incumbent US President Donald Trump has extended the suspension of the issuing of certain work visas and green cards until the end of March, with reference to the ongoing corona pandemic.
The effects of the pandemic on the US labor market and the health of the American people remain a matter of concern, the president said in a proclamation. That is why the measures imposed in April and June, which significantly restrict legal immigration to the USA,
should remain in place for the time being. The Ministry of Labor, Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs should regularly check whether changes to the measures are necessary.
