Government measures to combat the coronavirus epidemic have persisted since last spring. In addition to restrictions on the gathering of people in public spaces or the closure of schools, restrictions also apply to restaurant owners who operate in limited traffic. And it is because of the closure of the restaurants that the Chcípl PES (the DOG is Dead) initiative was launched as a call to action of entrepreneurs in the field of gastronomy. It aims to point out the pointlessness of government measures. In addition to the mass protests that took place in the Old Town Square during January, the initiators are opening their establishments today. According to Jakub Olbert, the owner of the Prague restaurant Šeberák, the aim of the protest is not to earn money, but to survive. Restaurants from Prague, Teplice, Ústí nad Labem, Brno, Kladno or Jihlava announced their participation in today's event.

"It's not just about our business anymore, it's about survival,"

the initiators of the organization Chcípl PES, D. Biksadský, J. Janeček and J. Olbert claim on their website.

Next month, the United States Senate will continue the process of indicting former President Donald Trump on charges of inciting an insurgency. Donald Trump is the first president in history to face charges twice during his tenure. Following the events in the Capitol, which took place on January 6, 2021, Democrats have accused the former president of inciting rebellion and violence, which resulted in the death of five people. Trump's second trial begins almost exactly one year after the Senate acquitted him of allegations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.

It's not a cliché that a dog is man's best friend; these four-legged creatures constantly prove the saying to be true. One such story unfolded in a hospital in northeastern Turkey. When patient Cemal Senturk was taken by ambulance to the Medical Park Hospital in Trabzon, his faithful dog Boncuk got out of the house and followed his sick owner to the hospital, where he looked for him impatiently every day.

"His dog Boncuk followed him to the hospital gate and refused to leave for six days until the patient was released,"

Murat Ercan, director of the International Patient Center, said in a statement. The hospital staff informed Senturk's family about the whereabouts of his pet. They took him home, but the dog kept running away to the hospital to see his master.
