Here’s a quick summary of what has happened around the world over the last 24 hours, brought to you exclusively by British Herald.
Today, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson tested positive for coronavirus. Offering some relief to those who are self-employed, British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak says that Britain has launched one among the most significant economic interventions by any government for the coronavirus pandemic but challenging times still lie ahead. The government will pay grants to self-employed people who have lost their livelihoods because of the coronavirus lockdown, further extending an unprecedented package of measures to prevent the economy from collapsing.
In distressing news, 115 more people have died in the UK after having tested positive for coronavirus. This brings up the total number of deaths to 578.
In heartwarming news, on Thursday evening, Britons subjected to the government-mandated lockdown all over the country took to their balconies and doorsteps to applaud health workers battling the coronavirus spread from the frontlines.
Ending things with the royals, Prince Harry and Meghan left Canada to move to Los Angeles to set up their permanent home.
The U.S. government indicted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and more than a dozen other top Venezuelan officials on charges of “narco-terrorism,” the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign aimed at ousting the socialist leader.
The State Department offered a reward of up to $15 million (£12.33 million) for information leading to the arrest of Maduro, whose country has been convulsed by years of a deep economic crisis and political upheaval.
The indictment, a rare U.S. action against a foreign head of state, marks a serious new phase against Maduro at a time when some U.S. officials have privately said President Donald Trump is increasingly frustrated with the results of his Venezuela policy.
