Coronavirus live news: nearly 3,000 people in UK test positive in last 24 hours
Significant rise in UK with 2,988 new cases; thousands attend protests against measures in Croatia and Italy * With other cities in lockdown, why isn’t London having a second wave? * Health experts welcome Melbourne extension but question curfew * Covid-19 ‘could be endemic in deprived parts of England’ * Kamala Harris says she wouldn’t trust Trump on Covid vaccine * ‘Drenched in the virus’: was this Austrian ski resort a Covid ground zero? 7.02pm BST Nearly half of GREEKS would refuse to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, according to a poll of 1,000 respondents published on Sunday. 44% of those surveyed said they would not use the vaccine if it were approved and provided freely, the study in Greek weekly To Vima said. The poll was carried out by Greek firm Metron Analysis. 6.24pm BST UK health secretary MATT HANCOCK has commented on Sunday’s sharp rise in coronavirus cases, which saw nearly 3,000 more people test positive. Hancock said: “The rise in the number of cases that we have seen today is concerning. “The cases are predominantly among younger people but we have seen in other countries across the world and in Europe this sort of rise in the cases among younger people lead to a rise across the population as a whole, so it so important that people don’t allow this illness to infect their grandparents and to lead to the sort of problems that we saw earlier in the year.” He emphasised the importance of social distancing in preventing the spread of infection.

The Guardian view on Turkish-Greek relations: dangerous waters
A row over over borders, gasfields and national pride risks regional disorder Some claim it has been centuries since the Mediterranean has been viewed as the cockpit of history. But great powers and coastline states, wishing to capture hydrocarbon riches, are today vying for mastery of the sea – or at least its eastern waves. The trouble surfaced last month when a Turkish frigate escorting an oil-and-gas exploration ship collided with a Greek naval vessel. Since then, tempers have flared, with the unresolved question of Cyprus providing a flashpoint between the two nations. Greek ships were last week joined by France, Italy and the United Arab Emirates in the waters around Cyprus. Turkey announced that Russia will hold naval exercises. Nato is right that the temperature needs lowering and ought to be congratulated for kickstarting talks aimed at de-escalation. Nato members ought to trade words, not blows. In Turkey there has been a lurch towards authoritarianism under the executive presidency of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, while the country’s military, economic and cultural power has expanded. Not since the Ottoman empire has the Turkish military had such a sprawling global footprint, with troops and drones recently saving a UN-recognised government in Tripoli from defeat. Despite a Covid recession, Turkish companies retain a global edge – taking advantage of cheap labour, made even cheaper by a weak Turkish lira, and access to European markets. Mr Erdoğan has also won favour in the Sunni Arab world by hosting 4 million Syrian refugees. Continue reading...
