The historical house from the turn of the 14th and 15th century used to serve as a spa or a café; Karel Havlíček Borovský used to live here and publish his works here. Since 1999, Karlovy Lázně have been the largest music club in Europe, according to their operators. However, the shop arcade of the five-story building which leads tourists from Charles’s Bridge to the Novotný Bridge (Novotného Lávka), is one of the more distasteful places in the metropolis. The municipal authority of the capital helped the owner with its reconstruction. During a meeting on Monday, Prague’s councilors approved grants for several owners of historically significant buildings. One of them was the PRAM ABS company which operates the above-mentioned music club in Karlovy Lázně and which owns one half of the shop arcade. A different genre is played on each of the levels of the building; company events and parties take place here as well. The company also offers the „option to rent a private VIP space with all-inclusive services“. Before the coronavirus hit, this spot by the Vltava river was mainly sought out by foreign tourists for its boisterous parties. The already mentioned shop arcade, however, was more of...

The prolonged period of dry weather in the Czech Republic has resulted in what experts are calling the ‘worst drought in 500 years.’ Scientists are using ESA satellite data to monitor the drought that’s gripped the country. Recent maps, produced by the Dutch company VanderSat, show the extent of the recent drought in the Czech Republic. The maps show drier-than-usual soil moisture conditions from 10 April to 10 May 2020, compared to the average observations over the same period over the past six years (2015-2020). Some areas display a 30% difference compared to the average, with the Olomouc and Ústí regions appearing to be the most affected. Richard de Jeu, from VanderSat, comments, “When compared to the average, or what we consider ‘normal’ conditions, a 30% difference in spring can be considered catastrophic for agriculture and nature if this drought persists throughout the summer.” Climate change is exacerbating drought in many parts of the world – increasing its frequency, severity, and duration. With 2020 expected to be one of the hottest years on record, drought monitoring is crucial. VanderSat uses data from ESA’s SMOS satellite and the EU’s Copernicus Sentinel missions, combined with data from NASA and the Japanese space agency JAXA missions,...
A government expert who wishes to remain anonymous sparked the Czech government to take fast action against the coronavirus in a move that likely saved thousands of lives, said Czech Interior Minister Jan Hamáček while discussing the government’s response to the crisis in its early stages. “The moment I realized that a train was coming at us from the opposite direction was when I saw a mathematical model that, based on the development in Italy and Spain, showed how the number of infected people in our country will rise and when there will be a collapse of the health care system. When the author of the model presented it at the Ministry of the Interior, there was complete silence. We realized that in a matter of weeks, huge trouble will hit us, and I said that the prime minister must see the model,” said Hamáček. According to the interior minister, the expert in question does not wish to reveal his name as he does not want to be famous. The Czech Republic was one of the first countries to initiate lockdown measures and close its borders to hard-hit countries like Italy in moves that may account for the country’s comparatively...
Emirates Group is planning to cut about 30,000 jobs to reduce costs amid the coronavirus outbreak, which will bring down its number of employees by about 30% from more than 105,000 at the end of March, Bloomberg News reported on Sunday. An Emirates spokeswoman said that no public announcement has been made yet by the company regarding “redundancies at the airline”, but that the company is conducting a review of “costs and resourcing against business projections”. Emirates, one of the world’s biggest long-haul airlines, said earlier this month that it will raise debt to help itself through the coronavirus pandemic, and may have to take tougher measures as it faces the most difficult months in its history. The state-owned airline had said that a recovery in travel was at least 18 months away. It reported a 21% rise in profit for its financial year ending March 31 but said the pandemic had hit its fourth-quarter performance. It said it would tap banks to raise debt in its first quarter to lessen the impact of the virus on cash flows.

The Czech government could buy up to 100% of airline operator Smartwings, the owner of Czech Airlines, or offer the national flag carrier state-guaranteed loans, Industry Minister Karel Havlicek said on Saturday. The government would discuss the situation with Smartwings and a decision should be reached by the end of June. He said the group was of strategic interest. Smartwings said it welcomed any discussions. “We still believe that further debate about support for the company, which employs 2,500 people, will play out in a businesslike manner,” the group said in a statement. Havlicek said any government move would be an investment, adding the group could be sold later, possibly for a profit. “We are not saying that it will happen but I look out for the interests of transport and industry. In this view, I think it is necessary to protect this type of firm, not only this type but others also,” he said. The government has previously raised the possibility of guaranteeing loans for the group. Smartwings’ Czech Airlines is set to resume flights on Monday after a disruption lasting a month and a half. Smartwings is controlled by Czech businessman Jiri Simane and partners, who own 50.1%...
“Austria will open all borders with the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary from midnight on Saturday, May 16,” said today the Austrian Ministry of the Interior. The full opening of the borders is planned on June 15, the APA agency reported. At the same time, Austria has struck the same border-opening agreement with Switzerland and Liechtenstein as the one it previously announced with Germany, to fully allow travel from June 15. “Inspections by health authorities and the police will be less frequent and only random,” the ministry said in a statement. “Our goal is to try to give as much freedom and as little restriction as possible. This is another small step towards normality, especially for people in border areas,” added the ministry. ——- On May 12, the Swiss government announced it would reopen 15 border crossings with Austria, France, and Italy, in eight cantons, in its second phase of the partial easing of the COVID-19 temporary restrictions. The French Minister of Interior has agreed with his German counterpart Interior Minister Horst Seehofer to reopen the common borders by June 15, which restrictions have been put in place in a bid to contain the flow of the COVID-19. Estonia, Lithuania,...
The construction of the new multifunctional building The Flow Building on Wenceslas Square, also known as the Flower House, is nearing completion. The Flow Building will provide seven floors of energy-efficient and sustainable office space, three levels of flagship retail, and two basement levels of parking. The project is also sustainable and energy-efficient, using intelligent, integrated building technology systems. The building will house Primark’s first store in the Czech Republic, forming part of the successful retailer’s expansion throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Primark sells everything from baby and kids clothes to women and men’s apparel, homewares, accessories, beauty products, and confectionery. Much of what they sell is fast fashion, products based on current fashion-show trends. They do this by having a high turnover rate with items sold quickly after they are made. “We have goods in stock for a value of 7.45 billion CZK. With the retreat of the pandemic and the subsequent opening of other stores, including the one in Prague, we can certainly look forward to unprecedentedly high discounts,” states the website www.primark-praha.cz Abandoning the ‘stack ’em high’ formula of other discount retailers, Primark prefers to think of its large stores as ‘concept stores’ that offer a boutique...
