How a little known law means Melbourne's locked down parents can enjoy an extra HOUR of exercise - after a frustrating announcement five weeks into Stage Four restrictions

Parents locked down in Melbourne can rejoice after a little-known rule revealed they are entitled to an extra hour of exercise with their children. Stage Four restrictions enforced in the coronavirus-riddled city mean residents can only exercise for one hour a day and with only one other person. But a rule that has been clarified on the Department of Health's website has now indicated parents can go for an additional hour of exercise with their children. 'Parents or carers of children can take their children for one hour of active outdoor play outside the home,' the DHHS website says. 'This is separate to the one hour of exercise allowed for parents or carers each day.' Locked down parents in Melbourne are entitled to an additional hour of exercise with their children (pictured, a family exercises in a Melbourne park on August 26) Melbourne residents can only leave their homes to exercise, to give or receive care, work or study or for necessary shopping (pictured wo

Daniel Andrews warns 'thousands will die' if lockdown were to be lifted - and insists draconian restrictions will STAY until 'coronavirus is truly defeated'

Premier Daniel Andrews has warned 'thousands' of Victorians would die if strict coronavirus restrictions were to be lifted. Stage Four restrictions in Melbourne, and Stage Three in the rest of the state, are set to lift on September 13 at 11.59pm after weeks of enduring the miserable lockdown. But speaking on Saturday, a day ahead of his announcement on easing restrictions, Mr Andrews said lockdown was unlikely to end. 'To open up with those numbers would, of course, see the total number of coronavirus infections explode,' Mr Andrews said. 'It would see many, many hundreds, indeed thousands, of Victorians infected with this virus.  While the Victorian government has claimed the leaked map is 'out of date', Premier Daniel Andrews on Thursday refused to rule out continuing Stage Four restrictions 'So, as frustrating, as challenging as it is, we need to stay the course on this.  'That’s why tomorrow we will outline a road map to ease these important re

Airlines UK boss TIM ALDERSLADE says: Ministers must be aware that there can be no Global Britain without a world-beating airline industry. So how bad does it have to get before Boris acts?

Pictured: Tim Alderslade, CEO of Airlines UK Do you remember when this Government was talking up its vision of a post-Brexit ‘Global Britain’? It was a noble ambition, in keeping with our proud island history. Then came the pandemic and Brexit took a back seat. Now as we emerge from the aftermath and attention focuses on rebuilding the economy and, yes, on a Brexit agreement once more, ministers must be aware that there can be no Global Britain without a world-beating airline industry. And yet one of Britain’s most important strategic sectors is disintegrating before our eyes. Another 1,150 job cuts were announced yesterday by Virgin, on top of the 3,000 already slashed. British Airways has said it might ultimately have to reduce its payroll by an astonishing 12,000 individuals. Heathrow has already completed a first round of redundancies and is now consulting with its unions, which could end in further job losses. This is in addition to a record pre-tax loss of £5.4billion for the fir

Outbreak at Maine wedding is linked to 147 coronavirus cases and three deaths as it’s revealed the officiating pastor held an indoor service

An outbreak linked to an indoor Maine wedding that breached local attendance limits last month has now resulted in three deaths and 147 infections.  The concerning uptick in cases came after the outbreak spread across three separate towns, and officials announced an investigation into a fourth location. The outbreak began on August 7 when people attended the indoor wedding and reception in the small town of Millinocket, according to MCDC spokesman Robert Long.  The official ceremony took place at Tri-Town Baptist Church and around 65 people attended the reception at Big Moose Inn. The state's limit on social gatherings is 50 people. The venue owner has since admitted that they misunderstood local capacity rules and overbooked the event, but by then it was too late. Maine CDC officials announced that 147 coronavirus cases have been linked to an indoor reception at Big Moose Inn in Millinocket, Maine In the last week of August, officials said there were 53 cases directly connected t

Mourners across Lebanon observe a moment of silence to mark one month since the explosion that devastated large parts of Beirut - as rescuers search through rubble for a potential survivor

People throughout Lebanon observed a moment of silence on Friday to mark one month since the devastating Beirut explosion, while rescuers dug through the rubble of a building destroyed in the blast, hoping to find a survivor. Images reflected the pain and anguish that persists one month after the August 4 blast that killed 191 people, injured 6,000 others and traumatized Lebanon, which already was suffering under a severe economic crisis and financial collapse. People held up pictures of their lost loved ones, while others held up nooses - a symbol that has become used in demonstrations against the government and those responsible for the explosion. Meanwhile, the search operation in the historic Mar Mikhail district - on a street once filled with crowded bars and restaurants - has gripped the nation for the past 24 hours.  The possibility, however unlikely, that a survivor could be found after one month gave hope to people who followed the live images on television, wishing for a mira
