Pictures reveal Melburnians don’t care

 

Shoppers crowd on busy Melbourne strip on Saturday morning

 

Pictures of a bustling shopping strip in Melbourne, taken this morning, have sparked fears that some Victorians believe the pandemic is already over.

 

You would be forgiven for thinking there were no stage four restrictions in some parts of Melbourne where people have gathered at busy shopping strips.

 

Authorities have begged people to stay inside today, as sunny weather hits the Victorian capital.

 

However, one reporter at Oakleigh in the city’s southwest took pictures showing a bustling pedestrian zone outside a shopping centre this morning.

 

The images appear to show a lack of social distancing and a group of elderly residents sat together on the strip.

 

Some Victorians have taken to social media, saying they’re worried today’s good weather and the state’s dropping case numbers will result in Melburnians believing the pandemic is over.

 

Premier Daniel Andrews says it has been a “beautiful morning” in the Victorian capital and that he understands that makes it “frustrating” for Melburnians who are stuck in their home.

 

He said he hoped it would rain today.

 

“For any interstate viewers tuning in today, the irony of us complaining that the weather is too

 

good,” he said. “I think people understand that as frustrating as this is on a beautiful morning, we have people this morning planning funerals of their loved ones.

Drones & jets: Israel launches strikes on Gaza Strip for 4th straight night

 

The Israeli military has pummeled the Gaza Strip for a fourth consecutive night. The air raids are said to come in response to explosive and incendiary balloon attacks by Palestinian militants.

 

At least three locations, including the Khan Younis port, were targeted by Israeli aircraft late on Friday. Drones, as well as several fighter jets, were spotted in the area, local media reported.

 

The sound of multiple explosions rocking the Gaza Strip could be heard in footage from the scene.

 

The Israeli military confirmed it was behind the attack, saying the strikes were a tit-for-tat response after explosive balloons were floated into Israeli territory.

 

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that they had struck “a Hamas naval compound, underground infrastructure & observation posts.”

 

While the makeshift attacks, carried out using balloons or kites as weapons, rarely cause injuries or casualties, Tel Aviv says that they have damaged crops and sparked bushfires.

 

It’s the fourth consecutive night when the IDF targeted the Palestinian enclave, under Israeli blockade since 2007, each time citing Hamas activities as a pretext.

 

The flare-up comes against the backdrop of a US-sponsored deal to normalize relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), agreed on Thursday. While the pact was hailed by both Washington and Tel Aviv as a “historic” achievement, it sparked an angry reaction in Palestine and across parts of the Muslim world.

Rep. Swalwell Calls to Create Commission to Investigate POTUS 'When We Escape This Trump Hell'

 

Representative Eric Swalwell was one of the key figures behind the impeachment of US President Donald Trump, having penned an article pointing at Trump's alleged "quid pro quo" with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy.

 

Rep. Eric Swalwell has now suggested creating a commission on "presidential crimes" which would investigate US President Donald Trump when he leaves the Oval Office.

 

"I don’t say this lightly: when we escape this Trump hell, America needs a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president. Example 1: Sabotaging the mail to win an election. #SaveThePostOffice," Swalwell tweeted.

 

Swalwell's tweet came after the US Postal Service released a statement warning state election officials in some states that some mail-in ballots for the upcoming presidential election may not be delivered on time because of new delivery policies and financial troubles exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic.

 

"The Postal Service is asking election officials and voters to realistically consider how the mail works,” Martha Johnson, a spokesperson for the USPS, said, urging domestic voters to mail their ballots at least a week before state deadlines.

 

During a Friday presser, Trump, after initially refusing to add funding to the USPS in the coronavirus relief deal, agreed to do so, but only if Democrats "give us what we want", without elaboration on those conditions.

 

Trump's reluctance to give additional funds to the USPS reportedly stems from concerns that it would streamline mail-in balloting - an idea he vehemently opposes, claiming that it will lead to election rigging.

 

Democrats, who have denounced Trump for his opposition to mail-in voting, have demanded an "audit of all operational changes" put in place by the Trump administration towards the Postal Service.

 

Swalwell's accusation of Trump "sabotaging the mail" is not his only one, as the Representative has long been a vocal critic of POTUS, and actively participated in the 2019 impeachment of the president.
