The U.S. economy is at an "inflection point" with expectations that growth and hiring will pick up speed in the months ahead, but some risks remain, particularly any resurgence in the coronavirus pandemic, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said. In a brief preview of a longer interview with CBS' news magazine program "60 Minutes" set to air in full on Sunday night, Powell echoed both his recent optimism about the economy and a now-familiar warning that COVID-19 remains the main risk. "We feel like we're at a place where the economy is about to start growing much more quickly and job creation coming in much more quickly, so the principal risk to our economy right now really is that the disease would spread again," Powell said.
The Legendary and Warner Bros. release's robust commercial performance has been all the more notable because it comes as COVID restrictions are in place, limiting capacity in theaters, and also as the film is available on HBO Max. The film dropped 58 percent compared to its opening weekend gross of $32.2 million. Warner Bros. is releasing its entire 2021 slate on HBO Max at the same time they debut in theaters as a concession to coronavirus and a way to bolster the streaming service.

France's Europe Minister Clement Beaune said Sunday that Turkey had set a "trap" for European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen by forcing her to sit off to the side on a visit to Ankara, in a photo-op faux pas quickly dubbed 'sofagate'. The Turkish presidency's failure to place a chair for von der Leyen alongside President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and EU Council chief Charles Michel was "an insult from Turkey," Beaune said on RTL television."Turkey behaved badly," he added, calling it "a Turkish problem done deliberately towards us... we shouldn't be stirring up guilt among Europeans".Von der Leyen's being shunted aside prompted recriminations from European capitals to Turkey, but also within Brussels.For its part, Ankara insists the incident was down to tangled wires between the Council and Commission, separate EU institutions. Rapprochement with Ankara stillborn as 'sofagate' hits EU-Turkey relationsMichel's staff claimed they had no access to the meeting room before the Tuesday event, but also highlighted that the Council chief comes before the Commission president under strict international protocol.Lack of respect"It was a kind of trap... between the one who laid it and the one who walked into it, I'd rather place the blame on the one who laid it," France's Beaune said.Echoing Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, who called Erdogan a "dictator" in response to the sofa incident, Beaune charged that there was "a real problem with lack of respect for democracy and an autocratic drift in Turkey" that should prompt Europeans to be "very firm with the Turks". Macron warns Turkey might meddle in future French electionsNevertheless, "in future, it would be good if there was one single presidency of the European executive," Beaune acknowledged."We need stronger European institutions".

The coronavirus variant discovered in South Africa may evade the protection provided by Pfizer/BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine to some extent, a real-world data study in Israel found, though its prevalence in the country is very low and the research has not been peer reviewed. The South African variant, B.1.351, was found to make up about 1% of all the COVID-19 cases across all the people studied, according to the study by Tel Aviv University and Israel's largest healthcare provider, Clalit. But among patients who had received two doses of the vaccine, the variant's prevalence rate was eight times higher than those unvaccinated - 5.4% versus 0.7%.

At the point of his death, Prince Philip was the longest serving Royal consort in British history. Elizabeth II gained power in 1952, which means that as The Queen, she was married to Philip for almost seven decades. In 'A Royal Salute', a special ITV News programme dedicated to the Duke, Queen Rania of Jordan gave a rare insight into life as a Royal consort. During her interview, Queen Rania said that whilst “there must have been times when it wasn’t easy” for the Duke of Edinburgh to be a consort, Prince Philip managed to “strike a balance very graciously” and “be a constant anchor for Her Majesty”.

MONTREAL — Quebec is reporting 1,535 new COVID-19 cases as well as five additional deaths linked to the virus. Two people died in the last 24 hours, while the other deaths occurred earlier or at an unknown date. Hospitalizations jumped by 25 to 608, with 139 people in intensive care. Health Minister Christian Dube tweeted that the numbers are concerning given that 58 per cent of new cases involve people under 40 years old. The numbers come as the curfew in Montreal and Laval is being pushed back to 8 p.m. from 9:30 as of this evening to stave off a rise in cases. The province also gave 59,447 doses of vaccine on Saturday, and has currently given a shot to just over 22 per cent of the population.
