Italy prepares to open new bridge two years after tragic collapse killed 43

Renzo Piano peers up at his creation - an elegant sweep of steel and concrete spanning more than a kilometre.

"When you finish a job there is always a mix of feelings," the 82-year-old world-renowned architect muses. "Satisfaction but also a bit of sadness too, because it's no longer your building - it belongs to everybody."

We speak beneath the hull of his soaring new bridge crossing the Polcevera river in Genoa, his design echoing a giant ship. It is being readied for its inauguration almost two years since its predecessor collapsed, killing 43 people: one of the worst infrastructure disasters in modern Italian history.

"I feel pride on one side but at the same time this bridge is born of tragedy. And this will never be forgotten."

On 14 August 2018, a heavy storm engulfed Genoa. The Morandi bridge, crossing the Polcevera river in the centre of the city, was busy as ever, forming a vital section of the highway system connecting France and Italy.

Named after its engineer, Riccardo Morandi, the iconic bridge was a feat of Italian architecture when it opened in 1967. It used an innovative technique to encase steel supports in concrete and became a landmark for the port city.

At 11:36 in the morning on that fateful day, a steel-enforced concrete cable stay broke and collapsed, taking a supporting tower and a 210m (690ft) section of the bridge with it. Vehicles cascaded to the ground. Apartment blocks beneath were crushed.

Renzo Piano, a native of Genoa whose designs include The Shard in London and Paris's Pompidou Centre, was working in Switzerland at the time.

WHO says COVID-19 is a 'once-in-a-century health crisis and its effects will be felt for decades to come'

The World Health Organization on Saturday warned the coronavirus pandemic was likely to be 'lengthy' and that is effects would be felt far into the future after its emergency committee met to evaluate the crisis six months after sounding the international alarm.

The committee 'highlighted the anticipated lengthy duration of this COVID-19 pandemic,' the WHO said in a statement, and warned of the risk of ‘response fatigue’ given the socioeconomic pressures on countries.

The panel gathered Friday for the fourth time over the coronavirus crisis, half a year on from its January 30 declaration of a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) - the WHO's highest level of alarm.

‘WHO continues to assess the global risk level of COVID-19 to be very high,’ it said following the meeting.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino will remain in the role while he is a subject of a criminal investigation

Fifa president Gianni Infantino will remain in the role while he is a subject of a criminal investigation.

Last week, prosecutors in Switzerland launched legal proceedings against Infantino in relation to an alleged secret meeting he held with the Swiss attorney general Michael Lauber.

Both men have denied any wrongdoing.

Football's world governing body Fifa, which is based in Zurich, said the meetings were "routine" and "nothing remotely criminal has happened".

"There was and is absolutely no reason to open any investigation," it added.

"There is nothing at all to suggest any form of criminal wrongdoing."

Lauber resigned last week after a court said he covered up the meetings and lied to supervisors during an investigation by his office into corruption surrounding Fifa.

Special prosecutor Stefan Keller was appointed in June to review criminal complaints against the two men and others.

Muslims slaughter cattle, camels and sheep in bloody sacrifice to celebrate Eid al-Adha

Muslims around the world continue to celebrate Eid al-Adha as they slaughter livestock amid scaled back festivities because of the coronavirus pandemic. 

Today marks the second of the four-day Feast of the Sacrifice, which coincides with the last days of the Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

Eid al-Adha commemorates Muslims' belief that prophet Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, before God replaced his son with a ram to be sacrificed instead.

Many Muslims who can afford it sacrifice cattle as part of the celebrations, as well as camels, goats, sheep or rams.

The meat is distributed to the poor to commemorate the prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son, but the economic crisis means that many cannot afford livestock. 

Rule of the sacrifice include that the animal can only be slaughtered after the Eid prayer, and that is has to be an adult at the time it is slaughtered. 

Water should also be offered to the animal before the time of the slaughter, and every animal that is sacrificed must be completely healthy without any physical defects. 

The coronavirus has cast a shadow over this Eid, with fears of another spike in infections prompting authorities to warn people to minimise movement, avoid cattle markets and refrain from public gatherings to witness the slaughter of sacrificial animals.
