Trump’s doctor says he has no symptoms of the virus for 24 hours – he is back in the White House.  Not everyone is convinced because he could still spread the virus.  He has been sending out a twitter storm of crazy claims and says things that are not true.  He now announced “that it was a blessing from God” that he got the virus.  He wants all Americans to have the treatment he received which he said was a cure for the virus.  Experts say there is no cure from the virus.  He also says again and again that the virus was China’s fault.
There was an extreme right group in Greece called “Golden Dawn”.  They tried get involved in politics and had some success when Greece was in a bad situation with finances.  But it turns out that they were criminals.  After a trial which started in 2015, the leaders were found guilty of carrying out crimes.  They were employing hit men to go and kill people who were opposing them and they especially attacked immigrants.  Now they can be prosecuted and put in jail.
UK Government Defence Committee agrees that Huawei (China telecoms company) is working with the Chinese Communist Party.  The committee collected evidence from  many experts.  They say that the company should not be allowed to be part of the UK 5G network because there is a security risk. From now, Huawei is not allowed to be involved but it will take many years (up to 2027) before their equipment can be taken out of the network.  Huawei denies there is a problem and is selling their equipment to many other countries – but not to the USA.
