Coronavirus live: riots hamper medical services in Covid ravaged South Africa; record cases in Indonesia and Vietnam

South Africa vaccine rollout disrupted by unrest; Indonesia reports 54,517 new cases; Vietnam has 2,934 new cases * EU not adding UK to safe travel list * Delta variant gains ground in US amid vaccine divide * ‘Safe and secure’ Olympics promised as Tokyo Covid cases soar * WHO warns of ‘chaos’ if individuals mix Covid vaccines * Battle for oxygen as Myanmar faces worst Covid outbreak * See all our coronavirus coverage 6.40pm BST IRAQ’S health ministry reported 9,635 new coronavirus cases Wednesday, the highest figure this month, days after a medical facility fire killed dozens and re-ignited anger over the country’s failing health system. Nearly 1.5 million Covid-19 cases have been reported in Iraq since the start of the pandemic, including more than 17,000 deaths, overwhelming hospitals crippled by decades of conflict and corruption. 6.24pm BST International human rights organisation AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL has accused GREECE’S police force of using the pandemic as an excuse to impose blanket bans on protests and apply excessive force to crush peaceful demonstrations, reports Reuters. Street protests are common in Greece, and several have taken place in recent months on issues ranging from a new labour law to Israeli attacks on Gaza, or a hunger strike by a far-left militant political gunman. Amnesty said Greek police had used “arbitrary arrests, blanket bans, unjustified fines and unlawful use of force” from November 2020 through March. Continue reading...

The Return of Ulysses review – tenderness and thuggery plus a touch of the Pythons

Longborough festival opera, Moreton-in-Marsh A terrific cast, led by Tom Randle, emphasise the violence in this version of the Monteverdi opera, transposed to a traumatised modern-day Ithaca “Monteverdi’s Flying Circus” was the affectionate nickname given to an ENO production of The Coronation of Poppea, but with its specially adapted tent and suitably trimmed score, this new Longborough festival opera version of the composer’s Il Ritorno d’Ulisse merits that label too. There’s no flying trapeze, yet this is still a daring venture with a terrific cast, though given that director Polly Graham emphasises Homer’s violence and gore, it’s not exactly all the fun of the circus. Underlining that myths should be for all time, with contemporary resonance, Ulisse is not the conquering hero returning to his Greek island home, but a war-scarred soldier returning to an American, gun-toting Ithaca.
