Sydney (AFP) - Australia plans to evacuate its citizens from the epicentre of the deadly virus outbreak in China and quarantine them on an island normally used to detain asylum seekers, according to proposals unveiled Wednesday. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said "vulnerable" Australians -- including children and the elderly -- and short-term visitors to Wuhan and surrounding Hubei province would be prioritised in extraction efforts. Officials said about 600 Australians were known to be in the area, which has been locked down in an effort to contain the spread of the virus. Morrison said Australia was working with New Zealand...

The vegan diet is low in – or, in some cases, entirely devoid of – several important brain nutrients. Could these shortcomings be affecting vegans' abilities to think? Others are found in vegan foods, but only in meagre amounts; to get the minimum amount of vitamin B6 required each day (1.3 mg) from one of the richest plant sources, potatoes, you’d have to eat about five cups’ worth (equivalent to roughly 750g or 1.6lb). Delicious, but not particularly practical.

Washington Post reporter Felicia Sonmez spoke out Tuesday evening for the first time since her reinstatement, blasting the decision to suspend her for a series of tweets relating to rape allegations against Kobe Bryant. Sonmez said in a statement shared on Twitter hours after her reinstatement that Post executive editor Marty Baron’s handling of the incident left her unconvinced of management’s commitment to the truth. “I believe that Washington Post readers and employees, including myself, deserve to hear directly from Marty Baron on the newspaper’s handling of this matter,” Sonmez said in. “Washington Post journalists endeavor to live up to...

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” House Impeachment Manager and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) stated that he wants to call former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly as a witness in the Senate’s impeachment trial. Because Kelly has indicated he has knowledge of what former National Security Adviser John Bolton would testify to. Nadler said Democrats will want to call Bolton, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, and “some of the other witnesses who we have heard had firsthand information. … And maybe, now, John Kelly.” Host Ari Melber then asked, “John Kelly,...

The headlines going around this evening, all to the effect that “McConnell doesn’t have the votes!”, are misleading when you read down into the stories themselves. Republicans sound much calmer and more resolute about ramming through an acquittal verdict without witnesses than they did 24 hours ago, in the first flush of the NYT’s story on Sunday night about Bolton’s book. McConnell doesn’t have the votes yet but as of Tuesday night Collins and Romney remain the only two Republicans willing to say it’s highly likely they’ll vote to call witnesses. Murkowski is interested in hearing from Bolton but won’t...

ydrogen could play a key role in cultivating a "green and sustainable" source of energy to power portable fuel cells of the future, researchers say. Hydrogen is believed to be a feasible alternative to fossil fuels because of its affordability and environmental friendliness. It is found throughout the environment, but producing it involves efficiently separating it from the compounds it is contained it. There are currently a number of ways this can be done, but methods can be slow and expensive. However, a team of scientists has now said hydrogen fuel could be generated "on-demand" thanks to a separation process...

In the early vote, Gates, with 10,707, votes, was leading Markowitz, with 7,461 votes, 59% to 41%. If he prevails when all the votes are counted, Gates will serve the unexpired term of state Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, who announced in mid-summer that he was stepping down from representing House District 28...

The Republican National Committee launched a new ad on Tuesday in response to CNN personalities Don Lemon, Rick Wilson, and Wajahat Ali mocking President Trump's supporters as uneducated and illiterate. . . . "He knows that this is, you know, an administration defined by ignorance of the world, and so, that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience. You know, the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump."
