Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday called House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy a 'moron' for opposing new guidelines requiring fully-vaccinated people in certain areas to wear face masks. Pelosi was defending new face mask requirements in the House - where fully-vaccinated people will be required to wear masks in accordance with new CDC guidance - when she was asked about comments from McCarthy.  Getting into her SUV, Pelosi was heard muttering of him: 'He's such a moron.' McCarthy claimed the new guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on face masks were not 'based on science' but from 'liberal government officials.' 'Make no mistake - the threat of bringing masks back is not a decision based on science, but a decision conjured up by liberal government officials who want to continue to live in a perpetual pandemic state,' McCarthy wrote on Twitter Tuesday. That is when she fired off her insult, the latest strike between the

Two Australians who have long called Bali home have revealed how the island paradise is at breaking point due to Covid-19. Chef Dean Keddell and Margaret Barry, who runs the Bali Children Foundation, both fear the nation may never fully recover from the pandemic. Tourism numbers are at an all-time low, beaches and bars remain deserted and the usually bustling streets in places such as Kuta and Legian look like ghost towns.   The sad development comes as Indonesia reports more than 1,000 Covid cases each day and more than 86,000 deaths since the pandemic started in 2020. Overcrowded hospitals are also struggling to cope with the surging flood of patients infected with Covid, and much needed oxygen is in limited supply. Beaches in Bali are closed due to the pandemic, as Covid threatens to destroy the island paradise (pictured, Seminyak on July 18) The usually bustling streets in Legian and Kuta have become ghost towns, with case numbers and deaths rising daily Keddell is trying to sta

This is the moment a group of young ducklings bravely followed their mother down a dangerous looking waterfall.   In footage, recorded in Romania on June 24, onlookers can be heard gasping as the 10 tiny birds prepare to leap over the edge to the water below.  But they react with cheers as all the ducklings make it safely down and return to their mother. In the minute-long video, the group can be clearly seen peering over the edge of a waterfall that is small by human standards but many times  taller than the mother bird. Chirping with excitement, or perhaps alarm, the ducklings scuttle around to see if there's another route down to their mother.  They pause for approximately ten seconds as they prepare to make the biggest jump of their young lives. The heart-stopping clip, that shows the raft of 10 ducklings taking a literal leap of faith, was recorded near a small waterfall in Romania With no alternative in sight, the first pair of ducklings take the leap, and more follow.  The

This is the moment a man riding an e-scooter decided to ride through a flooded London street, but ended up getting a soaking.  Musician Karl Williams, 34, filmed the incident in the East End on July 25 as the capital was hit by record rainfall, with homes, Tube stations and roads deluged.  He had diverted off his usual route to work near West Ham station to avoid flooding when he spotted the scooter rider braving the deep waters. In the footage, which Mr Williams' shared to his Instagram account, the musician shows the flooded street as he drives along it.  Williams captions the video: 'Keep watching until the end.'   A few seconds later he notices the e-scooter rider slowly making his way along the pavement towards a deep-looking section of water. After he ventures into the water he initially makes good progress until he apparently hits an obstacle. The scooter suddenly stops and tips the rider into the water, to Mr Williams' evident amusement.  Karl Williams filmed

Two NYPD officers were fired for having sex with a 15-year-old while she was enrolled in a teen program at the department, but they will probably evade charges because the victim won't cooperate with prosecutors. The unnamed minor said that Officer Sanad Musallam asked her to perform oral sex on him in his car. When she refused, he asked for alternative sex favors. She also said she had sex with Officer Yaser Shohatee 'four or five times at his apartment in the winter of 2015- 2016,' according to court documents. The former officers will not face charges as the victim 'refused' to cooperate with prosecutors, a district attorney spokesman told the New York Daily News.

A suit-wearing robber armed with a handgun has stolen £2million in precious gems from a high-class French jeweller - before escaping on an e-scooter. The hit took place around 5pm Tuesday in Paris's Place Vendome, a short walk from the Louvre, when a grey-haired man believed to be in his 50s or 60s walked into the famous Chaumet jewellers, asked to see valuable items, then pulled out a gun. Staff handed over jewellery estimated to be worth between £2million and £3million before the thief fled on an e-scooter, with security unable to catch him. CCTV cameras captured the astonishing getaway.  An armed robber who used an e-scooter to steal more than £2million worth of jewellery from flagship Chaumet store in Paris was caught on camera. Images of the man – who was wearing a blue sanitary mask and a grey suit – were posted on Wednesday 'He arrived on an e-scooter with a gun, went in to the Chaumet store in Rue Francois I to threaten staff, and came out with a collection of jewels an

Olympics TV ratings gathered steam to hit 19.8 million Sunday - but are still lower than they were during Rio 2016, after hitting a 33-year slump.  Viewership of the Tokyo Games leapt 61 per cent between Friday and Sunday, with Sunday's coverage averaging out to 19.8 million. That was the largest increase ever in the first three nights of a Summer Olympics,' NBCUniversal said. But the positive words came despite Sunday's 19.8 million viewers - the latest figures available - falling far short of the 31.8 million who tuned in to the second night of the Rio 2016 Games.   Sunday's figure was up 4.5 million from Saturday's prime-time broadcast, which saw 15.3 million watch as the competitions began.  That was down from the 23.5 million who watched the first night of contests in Rio five years ago.   But viewers are climbing steadily from the 12.3 million who watched Friday's eerie opening ceremony  highlights package, which was devoid of spectators because of COVID-1

This is the moment a sixty-year-old woman swiped £4.2million worth of gems under the noses of staff at London society jeweller Boodles - as she was today jailed for five-and-a-half years for the Ocean's Eleven-style heist. Lulu Lakatos had posed as a gemmologist called 'Anna' to arrange an inspection of the seven diamond-studded rings with Boodles boss Nicholas Wainwright -  supposedly to value them for wealthy Russian clients. At the crucial moment she arranged for a telephone call to take Mr Wainwright away and put a padlocked purse containing the diamonds into her handbag in front of another employee, as shown on the store's CCTV.  Diamond expert Emma Barton immediately challenged her, at which point the Romanian pulled off an astonishing sleight of hand, swapping the jewel-laden purse with a precise replica weighed down with pebbles.  Ms Barton raised suspicions but the gems - believed to have been concealed in a hidden compartment - were not found in the Lakatos
