#WorldatFive 🌎 : How has Joe Biden performed in his first 100 days?

From executive orders to “shots in arms”, @DavidCharter evaluates the progress he’s made thetimes.co.uk/article/what-h…
Biden’s main focus has been on four domestic priorities: the coronavirus, economy, environment and racial justice
The pandemic 😷

Thanks to improved distribution and a network of giant vaccination centres and pharmacy inoculations, Biden’s early goal of 100 million “shots in arms” by 100 days was reached on day 59 Image
Partly as a result, new daily cases have dropped from an average of nearly 200,000 in the week leading up to his inauguration to around 54,400, a fall of 73% Image
The economy 📈

Stock market gains under Biden have been the strongest since FDR. The S&P’s rise of 24% since his inauguration beat a rise of 11.4% under Trump Image

Northern Ireland is again facing violent disturbances, political instability and worrying uncertainty, writes @TimesONeill thetimes.co.uk/article/northe…
“It feels like Northern Ireland will never move on from Protestant-Catholic, nationalist-unionist, and Brexit has just started a whole new conversation around the same old subject,” says Mary O’Neill, an 18-year-old A-level student
“Mary is my niece. It is hard for me to believe that, almost a quarter of a century after the Good Friday Agreement, she is wrestling with the same choices I faced back in the early 1980s”

Always in trouble at school. Dead-end jobs. Failed relationships. James Bloodworth (@J_Bloodworth) often wondered why he found life so difficult. Then four months ago, a psychiatrist gave him the answer – he had ADHD thetimes.co.uk/article/i-was-…
“I’d given up,” says @J_Bloodworth. “No amount of willpower was enough. The empty Word document was a shameful testament to my lack of focus.

“I was supposed to be a writer. But I was a writer who didn’t write. Instead I lay in bed, paralysed with ennui and despair.”
“I had hit a similar wall during my schooldays. I knew I was different. My brain was frenetic. Sometimes frenetic and at other times like a sieve.”

#WorldatFive 🌎: Israel is watching to see if the devotee cruelly spurned by Binyamin Netanyahu will forgive him — or strike him down and take his place as prime minister thetimes.co.uk/article/bennet…
All Naftali Bennett ever wanted was to be Binyamin Netanyahu’s right-hand man. Instead, the one-time protégé now finds himself on the brink of ending his former mentor’s long term in office and replacing him as Israel’s prime minister Image
The question is: how badly does he want revenge?

In public Bennett remains non-committal and promises to do “whatever is best for Israel”. In private, he is saying he will never trust Netanyahu again, and is prepared to bring his long rule to an end
