Garcelle Beauvais, the “RHOBH” newbie, joined the ladies as a friend to Lisa Rinna and Denise Richards.
Beauvais, an actress from “The Jamie Foxx Show,” received a shower of praises for her spunky persona.
During a car ride to the ceremony, Lipsa, a friend of the show, claimed that co-star Denise Richards said negative things about Kyle Richards, another cast member, and insinuated that Denise Richards would never say those things to Kyle Richard’s face.
In Garcelle’s acceptance speech, she thanked the sincere women in her life and seemingly threw shots at Kyle Richards for allegedly being a fake friend.
Garcelle and Kyle Richards began feuding in the beginning of April after the “Coming to America” actress claimed Kyle Richards was the “least welcoming” in the group during an interview with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live.”
By Eva Vergara and Esteban Felix Associated Press SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Red-eyed from crying, José Collantes Navarro couldn't contain himself and crumpled against the wall as he watched his partner being buried at the Catholic Cemetery in Chile's capital. She had lost the fight against the new coronavirus, while he had survived. For many pandemic survivors and those who lost loved ones, like the 36-year-old Collantes, the tragedy lingers and their lives are never the same. 'Daddy, daddy, why did mommy die?' asks his 5-year-old daughter Kehity, whose mother, Silvia Cano Campos, died in mid-June. He doesn't know what […]

The South African Federation of Trade Unions (Saftu) says it will shut down the Port Elizabeth district office of the Department of Health after two nurses from the Zwide Clinic died and at least 11 others tested positive for the coronavirus.
After the outbreak at the Zwide Clinic, six trade unions from different sides of the political spectrum joined forces as the \"combined health unions\" and forced the Zwide and KwaZakhele clinics to shut their doors until the buildings were disinfected and all health workers tested negative.
The rest of the Zwide clinic health workers were only tested three days after the death of their colleague but were told to keep working until their results came in.
At the protest, the nurses repurposed the popular struggle song \"Sizo xola kanjani... (How can we be peaceful when... )\" to bemoan the lack of PPE and sanitisers: \"Sizo nursa kanjani i corona (How can we nurse coronavirus patients [when we need nursing procedures
The protest on 11 May resulted in an agreement with the district health office that Zwide Clinic would be closed until thermal infrared thermometers and PPE had been provided, and that union leaders would also be called in to verify that there is enough protective equipment to create a clinically safe space for health workers and patients.
The district health office also sent letters to Covid-19 positive nurses confirming \"permission to de-isolate after Covid-19 positive test\" - in other words, to return to work - but these letters were sent on 16 May to nurses who only began isolating after testing positive on 10 May.
The final regulations will allow many millions of people to return to work – under strict health guidelines – but some key sectors will remain closed.

When President Ramaphosa announced in May that the country would be moving to alert level 3 from 1 June, he said government would give consideration to re-opening other sectors of the economy, if the necessary safety precautions were put in place and maintained.
\"Therefore, following discussions with industry representatives on stringent prevention protocols, and after advice from scientists and consultation with Premiers, Cabinet has decided to ease restrictions on certain other economic activities,\" the President said on Wednesday.
President Ramaphosa said many other countries are in the same boat during this global pandemic and are resolving similar dilemmas.
\"We used the time during the lockdown to prepare and enhance our health system and put in place public health measures to minimise infections,\" the President said.
The President said as the country gradually opens up, resuming more activities, the risk of infection inevitably increases.

“I did that for about three years, and because my job there was to monitor metal detectors and capture students in the cafeteria when they were late to first-period class, and because I was seeming more like a correctional officer than an educator, I decided to organize parents, teachers and students and write a proposal to open up a new district community public school in the North Bronx.
The people of the 16th Congressional District need more than status quo representation — the time for courageous progressive action is now and that is what Jamaal Bowman will bring to the Bronx.”

Even though President Donald Trump attempted to take credit for making Juneteenth popular by scheduling his first post-COVID-19 campaign stop on that day, it’s pretty safe to say the rescheduled rally was a disaster, thanks in large part to internet trolls who flooded his website with fake ticket applications.

An incident that occurred during a discussion between two congressmen, Rep. Cedric Richmond and Rep. Matt Gaetz, got especially testy but Richmond handled it quite smoothly.
Gaetz, a white Republican representing Florida, took offense at Richmond’s concern for the life of his own son and pulling out of thin air that Richmond was suggesting that white people don’t raise or protect their non-Black children.
Gaetz began by saying, “Because you reflected on your black son and you said none of us can understand…” before Richmond cut him off by replying with, “”Matt, Matt!
Things got testier after Richmond reclaimed his time, but Gaetz was determined to escalate the debate.
