What we are witnessing these days confirms that we are all trapped together by Al Capone's gang and their state. The trial in the "Respirators" affair and the fact that B&amp;H is at the very top of the world in terms of the number of deaths from coronavirus, the already appalling state of affairs, are leading to hot spot. And it is becoming more and more obvious that because of those who, due to greed and the assumption of their own comrades in the lives of the world's poor, are responsible for that themselves, more than it could have been imagined.

How it will all end, I don’t know. But as far as the rule of law and its institutions are concerned, I am not optimistic. On the contrary, it could be like all the years so far - a storm in a teacup. Because the state that has loaded itself on our backs is not in a service of its citizens, but an instrument of Al Capone's "fighters" for the national cause.
Which is whythe state itself, together with the Al Capone's gang who clung onto its "breast", does everything to maintain the social status quo - and the principle of "dogs barking, and caravans at the same pace are still pushing the same story." In addition, more recent Sarajevo experiences testify to this - in connection with the elimination of Ivana Marić, in relation to Bogić Bogičević as a candidate for mayor of the capital, and in what is happening in relation to respirators, the trial and revelation of everything in the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo - not to mention this at all.
What are our chances of getting rid of such an environment of a collective camp? As far as the state and the institutions of the system are concerned, to be honest, everything is getting slimmer. Because it is worth repeating, neither the state nor its institutions are in the service of their citizens, but the defensive walls of those who, using phrases to protect the national interests, destroy what little off it is left, but also the will of the bravest to grow old in the land of their ancestors.
Admittedly, the chances are slimmer that the engine of change could be civic, political philosophies that act in the name of the elementary right to life - regardless of the ideological positions from which they emerge. Because their real power is nowhere near what could be considered the initial trigger for any serious social change.
Is it known, then, that these political philosophies often themselves accept the position of the logistics of the combat echelons of the defense of the social status quo, while the hope for their possibilities is further eroded.
So what's left? Is there any hope at all that change can happen in this country? Is a civilizational reset possible that would restore BiH to the splendor it has not lacked throughout history? Or is the definitive burning of illusion the only thing left for us to do? I never accepted defeatism or giving up.
But I believe less and less that change is possible through the institutions of the system. Elections, as internet bots and raiders of nationalist oligarchy tell us these days. Because it will rob them as they have been robbing them for a quarter of a century. And they will block any changes that prevent theft.

Then where is the solution? As for me, only in the civil riot, which removed many more powerful people from the thrones, and without which, for example, Nicolae and Elena, the Ceaușescu couple, would never "fly away" to the dustbin of history.
Are the people, both Bosnian and Herzegovinian, ready for a civil uprising? What is happening in Banja Luka these days is promising. Events in Sarajevo, unfortunately, no. Because only a few hundred people join the opposition to the regime on the streets of the capital - less, it seems, than in front of the Banski dvor of the owners of cafes and fitness centers.
Add to that the fact that the situation in the "the capital town" is almost regular, and the story of the civil uprising as an all-Bosnian response to "state-building" criminal gangs is not very encouraging. But you never know. Maybe it happens after all. In, say, the near future. Maybe.

The Czech Republic reported its lowest daily tally of new COVID-19 cases since September on Monday, the same day a six-month state of emergency expired and many pupils return to the classroom.

The central European country was badly hit by the latest wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Czech government managed to slow the spread of infections by imposing its toughest lockdown yet.
Students in grades 1-5 were set to return to school on Monday and restrictions on movement eased with people allowed once more to travel outside their home districts.
The government has kept non-essential shops, restaurants and sport and entertainment centres shut almost continuously since October, except for a brief re-opening in December that was quickly reversed amid another surge in COVID-19 cases.
Czech students have faced the longest school closures in the European Union.
The state is looking to take a slower approach to relaxing measures this time, hoping to avoid a need to return to lockdowns that could punish the economy, which remains buoyed by factories still running under mandatory worker testing.
The country of 10.7 million has reported a total 1.58 million COVID-19 cases since the pandemic started in March 2020 and deaths have neared 28,000, the highest per-capita rate in the world, according to Our World in Data.
The Health Ministry reported 976 new cases on Sunday while the seven-day average dropped to below 4,000, down from a peak of over 12,000 in early March.

Greece's high schools reopened on Monday after a five-month closure to curb coronavirus infections with precautions including virus tests for students and teachers twice per week, the education minister said.

High school classes had been held online since November 7. Monday's reopening saw some schools hold classes outdoors.
Primary and secondary schools, which had briefly reopened, remain closed across the country.
Every Monday and Thursday, high school students and teachers will have to be screened for Covid-19 with self-tests available free in pharmacies. 
-These self-tests will be a valuable tool- Education Minister Niki Kerameus told ERT television.
A positive self-test will result in a 48-hour quarantine and another screening in a clinic. A second positive test will lead to 14 days of quarantine.
For the first day back, 613 students and teachers tested positive on self-tests, the majority showing no symptoms, according to the prime minister's office.
Students and teachers must also wear masks, recess will be staggered to limit crowds and canteens will be closed.
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Monday that self-tests will be extended from the end of this week to employees at stores as well as those working in transport and food delivery.
-It's a weapon to limit the virus's transmission- he said.
With the country still in the grip of the pandemic, the reopening has worried some health experts.
Greece has reported more than 293,000 infections and over 8,800 deaths since the start of the pandemic. 
On Sunday, 1,718 new cases were reported, and hospitals in Athens and Thessaloniki remain overcrowded.&nbsp;

In recent days, a leaflet has been circulating on Facebook and other social networks in which radical elements and a "respirator" octopus calls for a lynching and attack on Daily avaz journalists for our writing about the "Respirators" affair, the situation at the Sarajevo Clinical Center., giving space in our newspapers for opposition views and messages from protests of citizens who are dissatisfied with how the government in the Federation, led by the SDA, responded to the coronavirus pandemic, and because of the catastrophic effect, ie non-procurement of vaccines to save endangered lives of the people in Federation of B&amp;H.On that occasion, "Avaz" sent a letter and informed about everything the embassies of the USA, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Great Britain, France, Spain, Norway, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Japan, Turkey, Austria, Switzerland ..., the OSCE Mission to B&amp;H, OHR, EU Delegation, USAID, Press Helpline, B&amp;H Association of Journalists, B&amp;H Press and Online Media Council, Federal Police Administration, Sarajevo Canton Police Commissioner Nusret Selimović, FB&amp;H Interior Minister Aljoša Čampara, B&amp;H Prosecutor's Office, Sarajevo Canton Prosecutor's Office, Federal Prosecutor's Office, Sarajevo Canton Anti-Corruption Office.The letter, signed by the Media director of the company "Avaz roto press", Fadil Mandal, can be read below:We would like to inform you that "Daily avaz", as the most widely circulated and influential daily in B&amp;H, is once again under attack and threats from dangerous figures that we believe are connected to the governing structures.Namely, on Facebook profiles of several people, including certain Amel Kovačević and Jasmin Mulahusić (he is on the UN list as an aide to Islamic terrorists), against whom an investigation has been additionally launched in the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H for threatening journalists and numerous public personalities and politicians, a leaflet is distributed in which "conscientious citizens and patriots" are called and instructed what to do in case of "new riots on the streets of the cities of Bosnia and Herzegovina".With instructions on how to take pictures, follow and report every person who calls for protests against the current government, the authors of this leaflet directly call on their followers to use violence in front of "Avaz Twist Tower", the headquarters of the media concern and portal "Daily avaz"."In case of violent demonstrations, gather in front of Avaz Twist Tower and block all approaches. If necessary, you can light a few tires in front of it, so that the badger is driven out of the den! Take care not to hurt anyone and do not take justice into your own hands! Hand over the perpetrators of the crimes to the authorities! ", it is literally stated in the leaflet.Apparently, the "crime" of "Daily avaz" is that it writes about the corrupt government in the Federation of B&amp;H led by the SDA, reveals the arms of a criminal octopus that procured Chinese respirators and other medical equipment during the coronavirus pandemic, which indicates the involvement of SDA staff in covering up the murder of Dženan Memić,&nbsp; writes about suspicious deaths and events at the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo, opens space in the newspaper for opposition opinions and documented stories about high corruption and crime of the current government.Attached to this letter, we send you screenshots of some announcements and persons participating in this hunt for "Daily avaz" journalists, but also colleagues from other media, where you can easily see the connection with the SDA, ISA director and Izetbegović couple.This is not the first threat to the journalists of "Daily avaz", but because of the current events and the atmosphere that is being created on social networks where the so-called SDA bots, we really fear for our lives and we call on you to take adequate actions and condemn such calls for violence and lynching of journalists.In the hope that you will recognize the importance of protecting freedom of the media and freedom of expression for the development of democracy in B&amp;H, I cordially greet you,Fadil MandalMedia director of the company "Avaz roto press".

Studies for Turkey’s seven COVID-19 vaccine candidates are progressing, with three of them in the human trial stage, the country’s vice president said on Friday.

During his visit to the clinical research center, Fuat Oktay said that necessary work is being done to start mass production of the vaccine following approval by Turkey’s drug regulatory authority Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency.
He urged citizens, who do not suffer from a chronic illness and have not received any coronavirus vaccine, to volunteer for the human trials.
-The more volunteers we have, the faster we will come to a conclusion in vaccination studies.-He went on to say trials at the Erciyes University will enter the third phase by the end of this month.
-Today, we are experiencing a situation where rich or developed countries are being prioritized in access to vaccines. This is turning into a quest for trade or a mechanism of power- he said.
-However, Turkey will show here the usual principled stance- he added.
Vaccines will be given to all friendly and brotherly countries under the principles of equitable access to health services, not according to the level of income, he added.
Turkey's daily count of coronavirus cases reached a new high on Thursday with infections topping 55,000, according to the Health Ministry.
Since its vaccination campaign began on Jan. 14, Turkey has so far administered over 18.38 million coronavirus vaccine jabs nationwide, according to official figures.
Since December 2019, the pandemic has claimed over 2.9 million lives in 192 countries and regions.
Over 134.1 million cases have been reported worldwide, with recoveries of more than 76.21 million, according to figures compiled by the US' Johns Hopkins University.

A veteran Greek crime journalist was shot dead outside his home in Athens on Friday, a police source said, in a rare crime targeting a member of the media.

Giorgos Karaivaz, who worked for private TV station Star and also ran the news blog bloko.gr, was shot several times in the southern Athens district of Alimos, the police source told AFP.
-The murder has shocked us all- government spokeswoman Aristotelia Peloni said in a statement.
-The authorities are already investigating the case- she added.
Reports said the journalist had been shot by two men on a motorbike.
-The founder and owner of bloko.gr is no longer with us- Karaivaz's blog said.
-Somebody chose to silence him, to stop him with bullets from writing his stories- it said.
According to reports, Karaivaz, who was one of Greece's longest-tenured and best known crime reporters, was married and had a child. 
-I can't even process this information, I've known this man for 32 years- fellow Star TV journalist Vaios Syrros said during the station's afternoon news show.
While Greek media offices are frequently targeted in firebomb and vandalism attacks, journalist killings are rarer in Greece.
Some journalists request police protection after receiving threats but according to reports, Karaivaz was unguarded.
The shooting occurred at a time when Greek authorities had received criticism for allocating too many police guards to a controversial TV presenter.
Hours before Karaivaz' murder, Citizen's Protection Minister Michalis Chrysohoidis had suggested in parliament that state protection was being exploited by "rats of the public sphere" who did not deserve it.
-For the last 20 years, every (police) minister has tried to take back (officers) from 'VIP duty' and put them back on the front line- the minister said.
In July, tabloid newspaper owner Stefanos Chios survived after being shot in the neck and chest by a hooded man outside his home.
The case is still under investigation.
In 2010, radio manager, blogger and investigative journalist Socratis Giolias was also gunned down outside his home. 
At the time, state TV NET said he had been working on a story about corruption.
A shadowy far-left group claimed responsibility for the crime but the case was never solved.

Queen Elizabeth II's husband Prince Philip, who recently spent more than a month in hospital and underwent a heart procedure, died on Friday, Buckingham Palace announced. He was 99.

-It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh- it said in a statement.
-His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss.-The palace added that further announcements would be made "in due course".
Fears over the health of the Duke of Edinburgh, as he was formally known, had been heightened after he recently spent a month in hospital for treatment.
He left hospital on March 16 following what was described as a successful procedure for a pre-existing condition and treatment for an unspecified infection.
He was first admitted on February 16 on the advice of his doctor after he complained of feeling unwell. 
Philip had returned to Windsor Castle, west of London, where he had been isolating with the queen -- Britain's longest-serving monarch -- since the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year.
He was due to turn 100 in June.
The news of his death saw television channels interrupt regular programmes and start special coverage marking his life.
The BBC announced his death and played the national anthem, "God Save the Queen".
Philip had increasingly struggled with his health in recent years, and had retired from public life.
In the run-up to Christmas 2011, Philip was taken to hospital by helicopter after suffering chest pains. 
The Greek-born former naval officer was then treated for a blocked coronary artery and had a stent fitted.

France on Friday said under 55s who received a first injection of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine should be given a second jab from a different producer, but the WHO warned there was not sufficient data to recommend the practice.

France's national health authority HAS last month said the AstraZeneca vaccine should only be given to those aged 55 and over because of reports of potentially deadly blood clots in a very small number of younger people vaccinated.
Officials in France initially said that those given the AstraZeneca jab in a first dose should go ahead with the second jab even if aged under 55.
But in a ruling affecting over half a million people, the HAS said that those aged under 55 who had been given the AstraZenaca as their first dose would now get the Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna vaccine as their second.
France has been injecting health workers as a priority group meaning that many younger people have already received the AstraZeneca jab.
But the World Health Organization (WHO) -- which has recommended the same product be used for both doses -- said Friday there was "no adequate data" on switching Covid-19 vaccines between doses.
-There is no adequate data to be able to say whether this is something that could be done, so... interchangeability of vaccine was not something that we could give a recommendation on- WHO spokeswoman Margaret Harris told reporters.
Some 533,000 people are affected by the decision, the HAS said.
They include Health Minister Olivier Veran, a 40-year-old neurologist, who was given the AstraZeneca vaccine live on television on February 8. 
-It is completely consistent to say that we do not recommend the AstraZeneca vaccine to people under 55 years of age while we learn more- the minister told RTL radio.
-Therefore, if you have received a first injection and are under 55 years old, you will be offered another vaccine 12 weeks after the first injection.-&nbsp;

Europe's medicines regulator said this week the AstraZeneca vaccine could cause very rare blood clots among some recipients, prompting several countries to scale up restrictions on the jab.

Several clinical trials are looking at the efficacy of combining two types of vaccine.
-Based on previous studies which combine different vaccine types, a combination of the AZ and Pfizer vaccines is likely to be safe but it's important that this is tested in the context of a clinical vaccine trial- said Helen Fletcher, professor of Immunology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
After a sluggish start, France's vaccine campaign is now gaining pace and Prime Minister Jean Castex said Thursday over 10 million people in the country had now received at least their first dose.
Veran said a record 437,000 people had been injected in France on Thursday alone. 
-Records are made to be broken and we will go beyond that in the next days- he said

As the trial in the corruption affair worth 10.5 million marks for the procurement of 100 respirators from China, in which the first accused Prime Minister of the Federation of B&amp;H Bakir's Fadil Novalić (SDA) is taking place, is slowly unraveling the tangle of obvious crime, in which there was precise agreement that the company "Srebrena malina" owned by the accused Fikret Hodžić will get this job.
As a reminder, this is a company that processes raspberries and at that time did not even have a license to import medical equipment, issued by the B&amp;H Medicines Agency.

<h2>All questioned witnesses confirmed this</h2>

So far, all questioned witnesses of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, as well as the Viber correspondence between the accused and witnesses, have confirmed that this is a deliberate procurement. The only one who didn't remember anything, even though offers arrived at her desk, was Sebija Izetbegović, director of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS), Bakir's wife.
A new detail, which was missed by many in the courtroom of the Court of B&amp;H the day before yesterday, is an official note from the State Investigation and Protection Agency SIPA, which ended during the opening of the investigation against the Prime Minister, on his mobile phone. More precisely, it is an official note on financial transactions, which was sent to him by someone from this police agency, in order to get acquainted with it.
During the testimony of Novalić's secretary Bahra Džaka, the prosecutors asked the witness about this document in the courtroom, but the Court of B&amp;H did not allow the note to be read, stating to the prosecutor that this document should have been attached when the prohibitive measures were requested.
This note reveals much and is attached to the lawyers with the indictment as Exhibit no. 11, after the expertise of Novalić's mobile phone and the analysis sent by SIPA to the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H.
It is interesting that "someone from SIPA" sent this note, signed by Damir Vranešić, head of the financial intelligence department, to Prime Minister Novalić's mobile phone, but he later got rid of his mobile device, explaining that he always changes cell phones, which he admitted on record.
But, it is interesting that he replaced his mobile phone in Austria, in the midst of a pandemic, when it was almost impossible to travel.
It was this note, which was a secret document and from which it is clear that the Prime Minister received secret information from SIPA, that Novalić's secretary Bahra Džaka later printed it, following the instructions of the Prime Minister.
Džaka, to whom the correspondence in the Court was attached, could not remember this document, but she revealed one incredible piece of information, "that she also changed her mobile phone after the opening of the investigation".

When the prosecutor Mirza Hukeljić asked witness Džaka, by what name she memorized the telephone number of Prime Minister Novalić in her mobile phone and through how many telephone numbers she communicated with him, she first answered "that she thinks the Prime Minister was saved in her phone as Prime Minister Fadil Novalić ".
However, after prosecutor Hukeljić showed the Viber correspondence, it turned out that Džaka communicated with Prime Minister Novalić on June 26th last year, whose number was then stored in her phone under the name "Sana N."
Džaka admitted "that she took some initials of family members" and memorized the prime minister's number under that name.
It was in that correspondence the official note of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) from May 29th last year was, which is proof of the leak of classified information from SIPA.

Britain said it is willing to offer shelter to Myanmar's ambassador to London after he was ousted from his embassy by pro-junta diplomats.

Kyaw Zwar Minn met on Thursday with Nigel Adams, Britain's Foreign Office minister for Asia, after his hosts said they could no longer recognise him as ambassador in line with the junta's decision to terminate his posting.
-I pay tribute to his courage and patriotism. We will support him to ensure his safety and security in the United Kingdom- Adams said in a tweet above a picture of the two men looking somber at their meeting.
Britain said it condemned the envoy's barring from the embassy on Tuesday, after which he was forced to sleep in his car overnight as anti-junta protesters gathered outside, watched by London police. 
-Given the bullying behaviour towards Mr Minn, we are seeking to ensure he can live safely in the United Kingdom, while he decides his long-term future- a Foreign Office spokesperson said.
-We continue to call for an end to the coup in Myanmar and a swift restoration of democracy.-Kyaw Zwar Minn had appealed for UK help, and raised the prospect he could die if he is returned to Myanmar. 
Asked if thought he would be killed if he accedes to the military leadership's demands that he returns, he said: "Who knows?"
Daily protests demanding a return of democracy following the February military coup have rocked Myanmar and brought a brutal response from the armed forces, with at least 614 civilians killed according to a local monitoring group.
Kyaw Zwar Minn, a former colonel of 30 years standing in the military, had spoken out against the coup and expressed support for the ousted civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi.

The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has dropped plans to buy vaccines from the Serum Institute of India, an official confirmed on Thursday.

Raji Tajudeen, head of Division of Public Health Institutes and Research, told Anadolu Agency that the health agency will get entire vaccines from Johnson &amp; Johnson. “As Africa CDC we will be partnering with J&amp;J," he said.
But he added that the UN-led COVAX facility, a global initiative aimed at equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, would be providing vaccines produced by the institute.
The world's largest vaccine manufacturer in India is producing Oxford-AstraZeneca's coronavirus vaccine for developing countries. The jab is locally known as Covishield.
On Feb. 15, the WHO listed the vaccine for both emergency use and distribution. The African Regulatory Taskforce subsequently endorsed the WHO listing, and the first shipments to Africa were initiated, with Ghana receiving the first consignment.
The Africa CDC plans to vaccinate 60% of the African population in 2021.
-Keep in mind that our target is to vaccinate up to 60% of our population. The COVAX mechanism will provide about 27% of the vaccines, so we have a gap right there, which the AVATT (African Vaccines Acquisition Task Team) mechanism will try to fill- Africa CDC Director John Nkengasong had said earlier.
Many countries have suspended and subsequently resumed the use of the vaccine developed by the British-Swedish pharma due to possible links with cases of blood clots.

Health agency will get jabs from Johnson & Johnson instead, says official
