Twitter has labelled an election night tweet from Donald Trump “misleading” after the incumbent president claimed, without evidence, that opponents were trying to steal the historic poll. Shortly after Democratic challenger Joe Biden told supporters he was “on track” to win the tight race for the White House, Mr. Trump tweeted: “We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Poles are closed!” He deleted his tweet after a few minutes, correcting “Poles” to “polls”, but the second attempt was hidden and given a warning by Twitter. “Some or all of the content shared in this tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process,” a label covering the tweet read. Of course, Trump was referring to the “polls,” as in polling booths, not natives of Poland, Santa’s home or what you might find in a strip club. He deleted the initial tweet, but that didn’t stop Twitter’s, +5.72% peanut gallery from making “Poles” a trending topic. And Tom Nichols, a senior adviser at the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump campaign group created by former Republicans, responded: “Someone should Czech...
Czech police say a truck carrying hundreds of bottles of Pilsner Urquell beer overturned along the D5 motorway, causing people to take to social media to lament the loss. The incident happened today afternoon (November 3), 48 kilometers from Prague. According to the preliminary version of the police, no one was hurt and traffic returned to normal after about five hours. “The truck drove partially off the road and then returned to the lane, where the transported cargo, was dumped,” a police spokeswoman said. Tongue-in-cheek comments posted on the police force’s Facebook page expressed sadness at the loss of the alcohol.

But, what about the things that you should never do in the Czech capital? With some help from our team members, we have compiled a list of some of the things you should completely omit from your to-do Prague list. Let us take a look at these ten things one by one. Tip 1 – Do not overlook the city Many-a-time, we have seen that when people plan their Europe vacation, they focus primarily on destinations, such as Italy, Spain, Paris, and London.

Synagogues and Jewish buildings around the nation have heightened security in the wake of a shooting Monday evening at a Vienna synagogue. Czech police said they are carrying out checks on passengers and vehicles crossing between the two countries as a preventative measure. “Police are carrying out random checks of vehicles and passengers on border crossings with Austria as a preventive measure in relation to the terror attack in Vienna,” Czech police tweeted. Czech Interior Minister Jan Hamacek said in a tweet Czech police were also in touch with Austrian colleagues following the “dreadful news from Vienna”. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis tweeted his condolences over the attack near the Stadttempel synagogue. “I am horrified by the attack on the Vienna synagogue and I want to express my solidarity to all people in Austria and my friend (Austrian Chancellor) Sebastian Kurz,” Babis tweeted. Jsem zděšen z útoku na synagogu ve Vídni a chci vyjádřit solidaritu všem lidem v Rakousku a svému příteli @sebastiankurz. — Andrej Babiš (@AndrejBabis) November 2, 2020 “The embassy in Vienna is finding out information and verifying whether the attack did affect Czech citizens,” wrote Foreign Minister Tomáš Petříček (ČSSD).

A key measure of how quickly coronavirus is spreading across the country has fallen to 1, according to the latest data.
The City of Prague bans the use of pyrotechnics in selected places on New Year’s Eve (December 31) and New Year’s celebrations on January 1st. Prague has banned the use of firecrackers, bangers, rockets, and other explosive material in parks, protected areas, around watercourses (islands, dams, or dikes), at the Prague Zoo, and nearby retirement homes for seniors. “Every year we treat hundreds of injured animals and now we want to prevent this,” said Petr Hlubuček, Deputy Mayor of Prague for the environment, infrastructure, technical equipment, and safety. The draft decree was approved today by Prague councilors. It will apply from 1 December. For the first time in many years, Prague City Hall will not welcome next year with fireworks. This time, however, due to the coronavirus, there will not be any alternative light performances. By doing this, the municipality will save about CZK 2 million in its crisis-laden budget. Another reason is that the city cannot predict the hygiene restrictions that may be imposed during the winter season. The previous administration also explored silent fireworks but found they are suited to much smaller shows such as garden parties. Light shows with drones, though, have already taken place for example in Warsaw, Poland....

Czech health authorities reported a drop in COVID-19 hospitalizations on Sunday, the first significant decline in more than two weeks as health officials work to slow the spread of the disease. The state said 7,370 people were hospitalized with lab-confirmed infections, down from a high of 7,673 on Saturday. Decreases in the number of hospitalizations have been recorded only in a few days in October, by only one or two dozen people. However, the number of patients in serious condition remained approximately the same compared to Saturday, more than 1,150 people. It will take several more days to see whether the trend holds, and a single day’s worth of the data can be skewed by delays in reporting, especially right after a weekend. Last week, the Czech Republic has shown the world’s second-fastest infection rate per 100,000 inhabitants, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) data. In the last ten days, the virus has spread most significantly in the Benešov region, (1,353 infected per 100,000 inhabitants) followed by Rakovnicko region (Central Bohemia), with 1,312 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The Czech Republic reported 6,542 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday. There are 180,797 active cases currently. Deaths have...
On Thursday, October 28, the President of the Republic Miloš Zeman appointed Jan Blatný as Minister of Health. The previous minister, Roman Prymula, agreed to resign as soon as his successor was found after the tabloid press took photos of him breaking Covid restrictions as he left a restaurant in Prague’s Vyšehrad late at night, clutching his wallet while not wearing a mask. During a press conference, Mr. Blatný admitted that in 2018 he signed a petition for the resignation of PM Babiš. “I have signed several petitions in my life. I did not immediately recall the fact that I could have signed the petition organized by Million Moments for Democracy. Then I was contacted by one of their representative who confirmed the authenticity of my signature in 2018. I have no reason to hide it, I don’t think this should be an argument for discrediting my person. After all, everyone can express their opinion,“ said the new minister. The petition was organized by Million Moments for Democracy, a Czech student campaign, and association which is analyzing and guarding Czech politics, organizing protests, and demonstrations. Its initial goal was a challenge to get one million signatures for the current Czech Prime...
