Dimuth Karunaratne led Sri Lanka to 229-3 in its first innings at stumps on the third day of the first test, still 312 runs behind Bangladesh’s mammoth 541-7. There was little threat from Bangladesh seamers when the Sri Lankans started their reply but the two spinners — Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan — were rewarded for some tight bowling on Friday. Karunaratne is Sri Lanka’s best player of spin bowling and the captain countered the threat well, but his team needs at least two more big partnerships.

HALIFAX — The Halifax area is into its first full day of a four-week lockdown imposed to contain an outbreak of COVID-19. Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin issued the "circuit breaker" health order after officials reported 38 new infections Thursday — the largest single-day increase since 55 cases were recorded on April 23, 2020. Later that day, health officials reported cases at five schools in the Halifax area. Individual cases were identified at Dartmouth South Academy, Ross Road School in Westphal, Holland Road Elementary in Fletchers Lake, and at St. Catherine's Elementary and St. Joseph's-Alexander McKay Elementary in Halifax. The new restrictions limit outdoor and indoor gatherings to five people and prohibit large gatherings, including social events, festivals, sports and wedding receptions. People are asked not to travel into or out of the Halifax area unless absolutely necessary. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 23, 2021. The Canadian Press

TEESWATER – The small community of Teeswater seems an unlikely place for vandalism. A farming community that should be getting ready for planting doesn't suit the profile of a place with a chainsaw-wielding vandal creeping around in the night to destroy private property, but that is what has happened. And it isn’t the first time. For the second time, a disgruntled person(s) has taken what is alleged to be a chainsaw to cut in half several hand-made signs that dot the countryside in South Bruce and surrounding areas. Signs that show passersby that the occupant is opposed to a plan by the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) to build a deep geological repository (DGR) in the pristine farmland outside of Teeswater. Or in Ignace, Ont. This time though, private property owners told Protect Our Waterways-No Nuclear Waste (POW-NNW) that their telephone lines had been cut as well. “We will not be intimidated by those that seek to silence us through acts of vandalism and violence,” Michelle Stein, president of POW-NNW, said in a press release. “This only serves to strengthen our resolve to resist NWMO’s proposed nuclear waste dump.” Stein went on to say, “The NWMO consistently refers to our community organization by the name ‘unwilling to listen group.’ This disrespectful label opens the door for pro-nuclear dump proponents to take whatever steps they want to lash out against any member of the South Bruce community who opposes their project. By not apologizing for these derogatory statements, the NWMO bears as much responsibility for these acts of violence as the people that did them." Stein is referring to a letter to the editor by Ben Belfadhel, the now retired vice-president site selection for the NWMO, in which he said, “We consider questions and challenges to be important to the integrity of our work. However, the description presented by the ‘Not Willing to Listen’ group on the potential impact to Lake Huron is concerning as it is simply inaccurate and misleading.” In response to the “labelling” that Stein referred to in her statement, the NWMO provided the following statement: “The NWMO encourages public discourse about the project, including from grassroots organizations. This project has always been and continues to be shaped by many views. We welcome all views, questions, and concerns. It is important for us to understand what they are so we can address them. “Our goal is to make sure we provide those living in and near siting communities with enough information to help them evaluate whether the project is a good fit for their community. “Canada’s plan will only proceed in an area with informed and willing hosts, where the interested municipality, First Nation and Métis communities, and others in the area are working together to implement it. “Willingness will be defined by the communities involved in the site selection process, not the NWMO. We are working in collaboration with those who live in and near the communities to understand what this looks like in the coming years.” Midwestern Newspapers reached out to South Bruce council for their response to the vandalism, and they provided the following statement: “The Municipality of South Bruce condemns all acts of vandalism. We strongly encourage all community members to conduct themselves with respect and courtesy. South Bruce is a welcoming, neighbourly community and we regret to see any act of vandalism taking place against others. Anyone with information about any act of vandalism or damage should contact local law enforcement.” Salima Virani, regional communications manager for the NWMO, provided the following statement regarding the vandalism. “The NWMO welcomes public discourse about Canada’s plan and that includes hearing the perspectives of Protect Our Waterways and others. We are saddened to hear that some are resorting to violence in the South Bruce area and we do not condone violence or vandalism. We encourage anyone who sees violence to report it to local police.” Cory Bilyea, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Wingham Advance Times
WASHINGTON — The Latest on President Joe Biden's global climate summit (all times local): 10:10 a.m. Opening the final session of the two-day virtual global climate summit, President Joe Biden says he wants to shift the conversation from climate threat to economic opportunities. Biden said Friday, “This is a moment for all of us to build better economies for our children, our grandchildren." Biden says America “is once again stepping into a leadership role” and pledges to co-operate with other nations in researching and deploying new strategies to decarbonize key industries. Biden says future jobs will involve installing electric-vehicle charging stations, manufacturing solar panels, researching sustainable farming practices and working in other new industries. But he says economic transitions shouldn’t leave other workers behind. He says, “We must ensure that workers who thrived in yesterday’s and today’s industries” also have a bright future. Biden says the hard work of implementing the ambitious climate change targets lies ahead and the two-day summit "is a start.” ___ HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE GLOBAL CLIMATE SUMMIT: The White House brings out the billionaires, the CEOs and the union executives to help sell President Joe Biden’s climate-friendly transformation of the U.S. economy at his virtual summit of world leaders. Read more: — EXPLAINER: How come nations’ climate targets don’t compare? ___ HERE'S WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON: 9:20 a.m. An independent research organization says the American goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to 52% from 2005 levels puts the United States among the four most ambitious nations in curbing climate change. The Rhodium Group said early Friday that using the U.S.-preferred 2005 baseline, America is behind the United Kingdom but right with the European Union. It’s ahead of countries that include Canada, Japan, Iceland and Norway. President Joe Biden announced the U.S. goal at the virtual climate summit on Thursday. Different nations use different base years for their emission cuts so comparisons are difficult and can look different based on baseline years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says the world needs to cut greenhouse gas emissions 45% below 2010 levels to limit warming to the strictest of the Paris agreement goals. Rhodium calculates the U.S. target translates to 49% below 2010 levels. ___ 9:10 a.m. An analysis shows President Joe Biden’s climate summit and the run-up to it cut the so-called emissions gap, a crucial measurement used to see if the world can limit global warming, by about one-eighth. Climate Action Tracker is a group of scientists who monitor nations’ pledges of carbon pollution cuts. It calculated that targets announced since last September cut about 12% to 14% from the emissions gap. That emissions gap is that big area between what nations promise to do and the pollution reductions needed by 2030 to limit future warming to another half a degree, which is the stricter of two goals adopted by the 2015 Paris climate deal. The tracker calculated the announcements cut between 2.9 and 4.1 billion tons of carbon from the gap. With the new targets from the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Japan and Canada, the new emissions gap is 22 to 26 billion tons of carbon pollution. The tracker says before those pledges it was 25 to 30 billion tons. Climate scientist Niklas Hohne says “we are now starting to see the kind of near-term climate action the world needs to win the race to zero by 2050.” Hohne says, “While the gap is still huge, the summit created new momentum.” ___ 8:55 a.m. Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates have helped pitch President Joe Biden’s climate-friendly transformation of the U.S. economy on Day 2 of the world leaders’ virtual summit. Bloomberg says combatting climate change will depend on improving financial transparency about the risks of global warming. Bloomberg said Friday that companies need to provide financial disclosures on climate risks, so that investors can direct funding to businesses that are mitigating the threats of climate change. He says it will take historic investments to beat the challenge of global warning. Bloomberg says mayors and CEOs tell him they want to do more to tackle climate change but need more help. The multibillionaire founder of a financial data and news company is a special U.N. envoy on climate change issues. Gates thanked Biden and U.S. climate envoy John Kerry for reestablishing the U.S. leading role on tackling climate change. Gates says, “This is a promising moment.” Gates says activists and young people are rightly demanding action. He says, “Governments around the globe are meeting those demands with ambitious commitments.” Gates says climate change is “an incredibly complex issue and using just today’s technologies won’t allow us to meet out ambitious goals.” ___ 8:45 a.m. U.S. climate envoy John Kerry has kicked off the second day of the global climate summit with a commitment to meet the challenge with historic amount of new investment. The former secretary of state said Friday he heard from representatives of 63 countries on the first day of the summit, from all regions of the world. Many nations have bold plans but lack the resources to implement those plans. Kerry says, “There is polite but obvious frustration that was manifested by many who have contributed so little to the crisis but who have to deal with so much of the consequences.? At the same time, Kerry said participants enthusiastically reported one after the other about “significant and exciting measures that they’re taking.? The agenda for the second day will focus on the economic opportunities of combating climate change and the need for technological innovations. The Associated Press
