China lashes out at US, claims country is ‘lying through their teeth’ on coronavirus; threatens Australia
China’s foreign ministry on Tuesday accused the United States of “lying through their teeth” and suggested the country mind its own business as the war of words between the world’s two biggest economic powers escalated.
“We advise American politicians to reflect on their own problems and try their best to control the [coronavirus] epidemic as soon as possible instead of continuing to play tricks to deflect blame,” spokesman Geng Shuang said.
Australia has also been on the receiving end of Beijing’s spiral. China’s ambassador to Australia warned on Monday that the government’s call for an independent international inquiry into the origins of the pandemic could lead to a Chinese boycott of Australian products.
Australian’s foreign minister Marise Payne hit back, dismissing China’s attempt at “economic coercion.”

WWII veteran who raised more than $30 million for health care workers receives over 125,000 birthday cards
WWII veteran Captain Tom Moore became one of Britain’s most beloved residents earlier this month when he raised millions for the nation’s health care workers. The 99-year-old has now received more than 125,000 birthday cards from fans, according to BBC News.
Earlier this month, Moore vowed to walk 100 laps of his garden — 10 each day — in time for his 100th birthday. Moore said he hoped his walking mission would raise £1,000 (about $1,200) in pledges to thank Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) for his new hip. Moore far exceeded his monetary goal — according to BBC News, donations have now topped £29 million — and has gained more attention than he likely expected.
