Unvaccinated residents sent into lockdown

Published

German leaders have agreed to a nationwide lockdown for unvaccinated residents, as an increase in Covid infections pushes the nation’s healthcare system to the brink of collapse

Residents who aren’t protected against Covid-19 will be barred from most essential businesses, such as supermarkets and pharmacies.

Outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel and her successor Olaf Scholz announced the measures together.

Protests have erupted throughout several regions, including the capital city of Berlin.

Unlike many other nations, those who are recently recovered from Covid-19 and are unvaccinated will be covered by the ban.

Under the tightened restrictions, unvaccinated people can only meet two people from another household.

Bars and nightclubs will also be forced to shut down in regions with a case rate that is above 350 cases per 100-thousand. 

This all follows a push by the European Commission to entice member nations to enforce mandatory vaccines, with Merkel and Olaf Scholz backing this proposal.

Vaccine mandates could be voted through parliament within the next few months… and come into effect from February.

Are women being silenced on LinkedIn? Algorithm claims spark debate

LinkedIn’s algorithm may favor men’s content, prompting concerns about gender bias and visibility for women professionals.

LinkedIn’s algorithm may favor men’s content, prompting concerns about gender bias and visibility for women professionals.


A Melbourne-based LinkedIn coach has raised concerns that the platform’s algorithm may be limiting the reach of women’s content. The discussion has intensified after an experiment showed major differences in engagement between male and female profiles posting identical content. Is the algorithm unintentionally amplifying gender bias?

We speak with Darren Woolley from TrinityP3 to unpack the evidence behind these claims, explore the implications of LinkedIn’s denials, and break down what these changes mean for professional women trying to build visibility online. What does the shift from cumulative to daily performance graphs signal? And how worried should users be about hidden bias?

Darren also explains why women must continue posting, how to create content that cuts through algorithm changes, and what strategies can help users—particularly women—boost their reach. Plus, we look at the broader call for more diverse voices to be heard on the world’s biggest professional platform.

Deadly fire at Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court kills 36, 279 missing; authorities face scrutiny over construction safety.


A horrific fire has torn through Hong Kong’s Wang Fuk Court housing complex, killing at least 36 people and leaving 279 missing. The blaze erupted in the Tai Po district and quickly intensified as bamboo scaffolding helped the flames spread with alarming speed.

The complex, home to nearly 4,800 residents, was undergoing major renovations at the time of the disaster. Authorities are now facing renewed scrutiny over construction safety and the ongoing reliance on bamboo scaffolding, which has been at the centre of multiple accidents in recent years.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has expressed deep condolences and called for urgent rescue and recovery operations as emergency teams continue searching for survivors.

Two National Guard members shot near the White House; critical condition prompts major law enforcement response and lockdown.


Two National Guard members have been shot in Washington, D.C., just blocks from the White House, prompting a major response from law enforcement. A suspect was also shot during the confrontation, and officials report the guards are in critical condition. President Trump, currently in Florida for the Thanksgiving holiday, confirmed the severity of the incident.

Authorities quickly locked down the White House and the Treasury Department’s headquarters as police surrounded Farragut Square with heavy security and yellow tape. The area remains closed off as investigators work to understand what led to the violent encounter.

This shooting comes as tensions rise around the National Guard’s legal role in the capital. A federal judge recently ruled their presence violates several laws but delayed action until December 11, leaving a controversial deployment in limbo.
