The “lockdown for unvaccinated”

Published

on

Germany is on high alert today after the nation recorded its highest single-day increase in new Covid-19 infections ever

Chancellor Angela Merkel says the “dramatic” situation is the result of the fourth wave “hitting the country with full force”.

Germany’s centre for disease and control has reported 65-thousand new cases in the past 24 hours – which is an increase in 12 thousand infections day-on-day.

But there are concerns that these case numbers are not a true reflection of just how much virus is in the community – with experts fearing there could be two or three times as many Covid positive residents.

Germany has one of the lowest vaccination rates in Western Europe – with just over 67 percent of the population fully vaxxed.

This has prompted lawmakers to move to impose stricter rules on those who have not been jabbed, with the new coalition government approving draft legislation.

The measures will require Germans to wear face masks and provide proof of vaccination, a certificate of recovery, or a negative Covid-19 test in order to ride a bus or board a train OR enter certain venues.

In Short:
An Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025, while flying to London, injuring many passengers. This incident poses significant issues for Boeing, which is already dealing with safety concerns, and has prompted condolences from both Indian and U.K. leaders.

A Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operated by Air India, crashed in Ahmedabad, India, on June 12, 2025, while en route to London’s Gatwick Airport.

The aircraft departed at 1:38 p.m. local time with 230 passengers, including 169 Indians, 53 British, one Canadian, and seven Portuguese nationals.

Air India confirmed that injured passengers are being taken to nearby hospitals.

The 787 Dreamliner had operated for 14 years without a fatal incident before this crash.

Boeing response

Boeing expressed awareness of the situation and is gathering more information, although shares dropped drastically following the news.

This incident presents a significant challenge for Boeing, which has faced safety and production issues recently.

Local media reported smoke emanating from the crash site, and emergency responders were seen transporting individuals on stretchers.

The plane lost location data at 625 feet altitude and descending at 475 feet per minute before the crash.

The incident occurred in a residential area, prompting condolences from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who stated his government will assist local authorities.

Air India, recently acquired by Tata Sons, has been navigating difficulties as the former state-run carrier.

The jet crash is part of a troubling year for aviation, following other serious incidents, including a 2018-2019 Boeing 737 MAX crash that resulted in over 300 fatalities.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed concern for affected families as the situation unfolds.
