Fearing Corona .. Australian state is considering releasing prisoners

The authorities of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, have submitted a proposal to Parliament to release prisoners who are at risk of being infected with the most severe virus, and which are less dangerous to society, under the Early Amnesty Law.

The state’s prison population is 14,000, and it has not been established how many prisoners will meet the requirements of the legislation proposed by New South Wales Attorney General Mark Speikman.

The emergency law includes a set of reforms that the spokesman said will give the public authorities the powers they need to cope with the emergency crisis caused by the Coruna epidemic.

"The threat posed by the Corona virus is developing rapidly, and the needs of families, companies, workers and governments are changing on a daily basis," Speakman said in a statement.

A week ago, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison asked his citizens not to travel abroad at all, in an unprecedented step in the country's history, aimed at curbing the Corona epidemic.

Last Saturday, the Australian authorities closed Bondi Beach in Sydney in front of its pioneers, in an attempt to contain the Corona virus, whose number in Australia exceeded one thousand, while the number of deaths reached 5 individuals.

The Australian Football Association (CFA) competition was halted due to the Corona virus crisis, on Tuesday, and competition organizers said the competition could no longer continue.

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake hits Utah, cuts the power to tens of thousands, and stops flights

A 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Salt Lake City area on Wednesday morning, cutting tens of thousands of electricity and suspending work at a Utah public health laboratory in the midst of the Corona virus pandemic. The airport said that flights to Salt Lake International Airport were diverted, departure was delayed, and terminals and terminals cleared so that engineers could inspect the facilities. The US Geological Survey said the quake was centered about 10 miles west of Salt Lake City, near Magna, starting at 7:09 am (9:09 am ET). People gathered in Salt Lake City city center after they left their buildings due to shaking and stayed outside. This is the state's strongest earthquake since 1992, when a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck the St. George region, Utah's emergency management department said. The state’s Ministry of Health said that operations at the state’s public health laboratory were halted as the building was evaluated for damage. Th...

A solar storm hits the earth on the first day of spring

Space weather forecasters have noticed a stream of solar winds coming toward us, which could hit Earth on March 19, the first day of spring. Scientists said that the solar wind could lead to the aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere. The stream of particles stems from the sun from a small hole on the surface of the sun, allowing winds to penetrate the solar system and move to its depths. The Space Weather website reported global predictions: "A small current from the solar wind is expected to hit the Earth's magnetic field on March 19, which may cause the twilight to occur around the Arctic Circle. The gaseous material flows from a newly opened hole in the sun's atmosphere." The aurora borealis occurs when solar particles strike the atmosphere, and when charged particles from the sun strike atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, which consists of different gases such as oxygen and nitrogen, those atoms are excited to give different colors with diffe...

mother's Day

Mother's Day is a celebration that appeared recently at the beginning of the twentieth century, and is celebrated in some countries to honor mothers and motherhood, the mother's association with their children, and the influence of mothers on society. This appeared in the desire of Western and European thinkers, after they found children in their societies neglecting their mothers and not giving their full care to them, so they wanted to make a day of the year to remind the children of their mothers. Later, the scope of the celebrants widened to become celebrated in many days and in various cities in the world, and most often it is celebrated in the month of March, April or May. The date of Mother’s Day differs from one country to another, for example in the Arab world it is the first day of the spring semester, that is March 21, while in Norway it is celebrated on February 2 ,in Argentina it is October 3, and South Africa celebrates it on May 1. In the United St...
