Daniele Faraotti - Il singolo “Calano i Colli”

Il brano dell’eclettico cantautore sugli stores digitali e dal 29 dicembre nelle radio

“Calano i Colli” è il nuovo singolo del poliedrico cantautore Daniele Faraotti, sui principali stores digitali e dal 29 dicembre nelle radio in promozione nazionale. Produzione impeccabile che evidenzia una cura maniacale per i dettagli e per una ricerca melodica d’avanguardia che varca confini di genere. Dopo plausi ed elogi ricevuti da pubblico e critica per il maestoso “Phara Pop Vol. 1“, l’artista continua con la sua produzione discografica donando un brano dalle forti tinte psichedeliche, sviluppando un ermetismo contemporaneo che sfocia, di nuovo, nel pop: meraviglia ed eleganza.

“Calano i Colli, singolo prenatalizio d'auspicio beatlesiano ma senza uso di AI. Con l'età i colli calano e come dice Orson Welles persino Elisabeth Taylor in teoria dovrebbe subirne gli effetti; vuoi che non ci sia pronto un tiratore di colli? Del resto, ti tirano il collo fin da quando bambino; dovesse mai venirti una gran voglia di giocare d’azzardo, qualcuno gratuitamente metterà a disposizione una casa di recupero, attrezzata di tutto punto con giardino e strizza cervelli sempre a disposizione.” Daniele Faraotti

Il singolo è accompagnato da un onirico videoclip con la regia di Elena Itto di Rafa, montato da Domenico Guidetti e dallo stesso Daniele Faraotti e con Ernesto Mazzotti come fotografo di scena. Prodotto da Creamcheese Records in anteprima nazionale sul portale del MEI.

Storia dell’artista

Se l’oroscopo del 2022 dava al capricorno grandi soddisfazioni, il 2024 dovrebbe rilanciare lasciandosi alle spalle un 2023 un pò gnif. In effetti, per Daniele Faraotti, capricorno classe 1961, tutto comincia nel 2008 con la pubblicazione di “Ciò che non sei
più” (Alka Record 2008). Non che prima non ci fosse stato niente, le attività svolte precedentemente potevano tranquillamente rientrare nell’ambito della formazione. Formazione lunga quella del Faraotti; tante le canzoni scritte, prima della prima canzone riconoscibile come tale - un percorso piuttosto accidentato. Si è trattato di recuperare quella scintilla che sembrava persa, tra esami in conservatorio, titoli di studio e domande di ammissione. Tra le cose mediamente grosse di questi anni di formazione, sicuramente va ricordata la collaborazione con Patty Pravo (Roxy Bar, MTV 1994) e la partecipazione come chitarrista ad un paio di canzoni nell’album di Claudio Lolli “La scoperta dell’America”.

Anche la direzione artistica della rassegna U. S. W. (Und so Writer) a San Lazzaro di Savena (Bo) è tra le cose da ricordare. Le edizioni del 2008 e del 2009 (le uniche) hanno visto molta musica indipendente esibirsi sul palco dell’ITC. Nel 2009 esce “Ciò che non sai più” (Alka Record 2009), Ep con quattro canzoni e un video. Le canzoni erano state registrate nelle session dell’album precedente, album che con questo gioca molto con il titolo. Come esordio non è male, ottimamente accolto dalla critica e poi tanti i concerti in giro per l’Italia, il più importante a Scisciano (Na) di spalla ai Massimo Volume. Poi è la volta “Canzoni in Salita” (Bombanella Records 2012). Le recensioni fioccano copiose e i concerti diminuiscono un po’, le mail scritte ai locali cominciano a non avere risposta e il pubblico è già stanco di cimentarsi con proposte non supportate da agenzie, etichette di grido e pubblicità. Circa due anni di lavoro per completare “In Cage’s shoes”, una composizione strumentale di 21 minuti omaggio a John Cage. Viene pubblicata in “Exit from the Cage” del 2014.

Quattro anni di silenzio portano ad “English Aphasia”. Pubblicato in digitale nell’aprile del 2019, vede l’edizione in vinile del 2020 rilanciare l’Inglese Afasico che, tra buone recensioni e complimenti, ripagherà il Faraotti di un periodo non proprio roseo sotto molti punti di vista. Nell’estate del 2019 inizia la stesura delle canzoni che andranno a far parte di “Phara Pop vol. 1”.

Durante il lockdown del 2020 la stesura dei testi, la messa a punto degli arrangiamenti e tante nuove canzoni. Su “Phara Pop” finiscono 20 canzoni scritte tra il luglio 2019 e giugno 2020. Il singolo “RadioMagia”, viene pubblicato a gennaio 2022 insieme al video eponimo. In coda al 2023, e per la precisione in dicembre, arriva la pubblicazione di due nuovi singoli. La stesura dei testi del nuovo album è a buon punto e non si esclude l’uscita entro maggio 2024. E i concerti? Chissà, forse…

Il mio lavoro Ritorni è parte di Sciame Project.

Il progetto nasce dall’esposizione annuale d’arte contemporanea Lucisorgenti, iniziativa ideata nel 2008 da Franco Troiani a sostegno dei giovani artisti, la cui X edizione è stata interrotta a causa del terremoto che ha colpito il centro Italia nel 2016.

SciameProject, fondato da Miriam Montani, è una pagina web, una raccolta di pensieri e opere di oltre cento partecipanti tra artisti, curatori, critici, operatori culturali e voci sul territorio.

Impermanenza, Memoria, Abitare, Disabitare, Radicamento, Sradicamento e Motus sono le tematiche affrontate, scandagliate dal terremoto come causa ed effetto. SciameProject si pone come contributo immateriale per far rigermogliare la materia ceduta, in un momento in cui ci troviamo nel punto di scegliere se disabitare la terra o radicarci ancora, con tutte le forze sensibili.

Part 1 Chiesa Nuova or New Church, Rome, Italy

Photo and info credits: David Macchi

The original ancient church was named Santa Maria in Vallicella or Saint Mary in the little valley. This church had been here at least as early as the 12th century and was dedicated to the Nativity of Our Lady. In 1551 it was assigned to Saint Filippo Neri, founder of the nearby Oratory. He had it rebuilt in 1575-85 and renamed Chiesa Nuova. The designer of the church was Matteo Bartolani da Citta di Castello (c 1527-c 1598). In the years 1586-90 five side chapels were added on each nave and the apse transept and dome were built designed by Martino Longhi the Elder (1534-91). The church was finally consecrated in 1599.

1. (RCN 1.1) The façade was built in 1594-1606 by Fausto Rughesi for Bishop angelo Cesi in Todi with his nave on the façade.

2. (RCN 2.1) The vault of the church is “Miracle of the Virgin during the construction of the church” 1664-5. This was inspired by a dream that St. Philip Neri had of the collapse of the church and warned the builders of a beam suspended in the air.

3. (RCN 2.2) the Apse painting “Assumption” 1655-60.

4. (RCN 2.3) The dome was painted from 1647-51 with “Triumph of the Trinity”.

5. (RCN 2.4) The Counter Façade. This contains the stucco works “Contempt of the World” and “Silence” as allegories by Ercole Ferrata.

6. (RCN 2.5) On the walls of the nave and transept are 14 paintings “Stories from the Old and New Testament” 1697-1700 by the artists Giuseppe Ghezzi, Daniel Seiter, Giuseppe Passeri, Lazzaro Bladi and Domenico Parodi and frames sculpted by Camillo Rusconi.

7. (RCN 2.6) on the right side of the nave is the Chapel of the Cross containing the altarpiece painting “Crucifixion” 1586 by Scipione Pulzone (c 1550-98).

8. (RCN 2.7) The second chapel on the right is the Chapel of the Pieta or the Vittrice Chapel. Seen here now is a copy of the “Deposition” by Michael Kock. The original was by Caravaggio and was looted by the French and was returned by the French in 1817 and was placed in the Vatican Museums.

9. (RCN 2.8) The third chapel on the right is the Ascension Chapel with the altarpiece painting “Ascension” 1586 by Girolamo Muziano (1532-92).

10. (RCN 2.9) The fourth chapel on the right is the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. In this chapel is the altarpiece painting “Pentecost” 1689 by Giovanni Maria Morandi (1622-81).

ODDKO - Disobey (Official Music Video) from Giovanni Bucci on Vimeo.

ODDKO “Disobey” official video, directed by Giovanni Bucci

DISOBEY, directed by Giovanni Bucci, features some of the most ambitious visual effects ever used in a music video. It’s a multidisciplinary art project that integrates dozens of detailed, disparate production elements into one cohesive vision, sound, and beat. “Disobey” explores themes of Man vs. Machine, of Nature vs. Technology, and paints the goddess Hekate as a 21st Century nightmare, ensnaring victims and bending them to her will.

Based on a carefully planned animatic and mastering precise and dynamic 3D camera movements, Gio went to great lengths to ensure that every moment of the video was seamlessly integrated with its sound. Focusing on each character and location, Paola Rocchetti’s discerning taste and natural flair for makeup and styling was a key element curating the aesthetic of the video. With contributions from Dead Lotus Couture (London), Mother of London (LA), Majesty Black (LA), Pieroni Lab (Rome), Oscar-winning makeup artist Manlio Rocchetti (1943-2017), and Oscar-winning 3D artist Stefano Dubay, Gio and Paola successfully brought their vision to life.

ODDKO is a music project created by musician and award-winning video director Giovanni Bucci. It's the fruit of Gio’s eclectic tastes and his desire to make a vibrant new multifaceted work of art.

While easily enjoyed as a breathtaking journey through a singular dystopia, the video rewards multiple viewings with layer after layer of intricate detail. Beyond the striking visuals, there is a mythic story in the fabric of DISOBEY, a primal call to action, and a warning against deliberate manipulation of oblivious consumers.

"Che finale", nuovo video per Layz

Dopo il disco "Lazzaro" (2021) e due singoli, "Mille sbagli" (Gennaio 2022), entrato in rotazione su RTL 102.5 Bro & Sis e "Dentro me" (Marzo 2022), ispirato a Nightmare before Christmas, il viaggio immaginifico di Layz tra musica e cinema continua con "Che Finale", il suo nuovo singolo. Disponibile su YouTube dal 25 maggio anche il videoclip del brano, ambientato nella campagna forlivese, per la regia di Daniel Mercatali (Sc Movie Production).

Il tema del finale e delle aspettative è il punto centrale della traccia che fonde il rap a un tappeto pop più fresco, quasi estivo ed ispirata nel ritornello dal libro e dal film Io non ho paura. Un messaggio che contiene più chiavi di lettura, per lasciare spazio all'interpretazione personale, a seconda delle esperienze di chi ascolta.

"Molto spesso, quando ho iniziato qualcosa non sapevo quale direzione la mia vita avrebbe preso o dove sarei arrivato. Questo mi spaventava fino al punto di farmi pensare di non dovere cominciare neanche" - Spiega Layz - "La musica, invece, mi ha insegnato che quando intraprendi un percorso il risultato può mutare e l'idea iniziale cambiare, ma è solo con il sudore e il lavoro costante che può accadere in maniera positiva. Gli errori fanno parte del percorso, non sono sconfitte ma un bagaglio necessario alla destinazione verso cui stai camminando". 

"Che finale ti aspetti?" è la domanda che Layz pone all'inizio del brano nel quale l'artista, a differenza dei precedenti, non si racconta in prima persona. É una domanda aperta posta da un interlocutore terzo nella quale ognuno di noi può cercare la propria risposta personale.

Alle volte, la paura delle conseguenze di una scelta ci condiziona fino al punto di spingerci a desistere ancor prima di iniziare. Ma l'errore più grande sarebbe rinunciare in partenza per paura di un fallimento. Non sempre si vince o si perde: si va incontro, piuttosto, ad esperienze uniche che ci danno l'opportunità di lasciare un segno indelebile nel mondo.

La Via dei Norcini - Il SAN DANIELE NELLA REGIONE CUORE DELLA SALUMERIA ITALIANA

aprile 22, 2022

All’inizio di Maggio l’ “ Aria di San Daniele” si trasferirà a Milano, nel cuore della Regione che alleva il maggior numero di maiali in Italia e conseguentemente grande produttrice, sia a livello industriale, che artigianale, di salumi.

Una tappa dunque estremamente impegnativa, ma che non spaventa il Consorzio.

Le degustazioni si svolgeranno con il seguente calendario:

Lun 02 Maggio - h 19:00: UN POSTO A MILANO - Via Privata Cuccagna, 2/4

Mar 03 Maggio - h 19:00: CANTINA URBANA - Via Ascanio Sforza, 87

Mer 04 Maggio - h 19:00: CANTINA URBANA - Via Muratori ang. Lazzaro Papi, 22

Dom 08 Maggio - h 19:00: ALCHIMIA - Via Brioschi,17

Lun 09 Maggio - h 19:00: BOTINERO - Via San Marco, 3

Mar 10 Maggio - h 19:00:TERRAZZA 21 - Piazza Duomo, 21

Un’ampia scelta di tipologie di locali dunque: dall’atmosfera gioiosamente conviviale di “Un posto a Milano”, a quella trendy delle due “Cantina Urbana”, espressioni di un network di artigiani del vino, all’eleganza raffinata e salottiera di “Alchimia”, al tempio degli amanti della carne: ”Il Botinero”, per giungere al gran finale di “Terrazza21” con vista sul Duomo.

Locali assai diversi l’uno dall’altro, quindi, con proposte gastronomiche differenti, ma sono sicuro che il San Daniele, con il suo sapore delicato e il soave aroma, saprà adattarsi a ciascuna, così da essere apprezzato come merita anche in questa città cosmopolita.

"Che finale", ecco il video nuovo di Layz

Dopo il disco "Lazzaro" (2021) e due singoli, "Mille sbagli" (Gennaio 2022), entrato in rotazione su RTL 102.5 Bro & Sis e "Dentro me" (Marzo 2022), ispirato a Nightmare before Christmas, il viaggio immaginifico di Layz tra musica e cinema continua con "Che Finale", il suo nuovo singolo. Disponibile su YouTube dal 25 maggio anche il videoclip del brano, ambientato nella campagna forlivese, per la regia di Daniel Mercatali (Sc Movie Production).

Il tema del finale e delle aspettative è il punto centrale della traccia che fonde il rap a un tappeto pop più fresco, quasi estivo ed ispirata nel ritornello dal libro e dal film Io non ho paura. Un messaggio che contiene più chiavi di lettura, per lasciare spazio all'interpretazione personale, a seconda delle esperienze di chi ascolta.

"Molto spesso, quando ho iniziato qualcosa non sapevo quale direzione la mia vita avrebbe preso o dove sarei arrivato. Questo mi spaventava fino al punto di farmi pensare di non dovere cominciare neanche" - Spiega Layz - "La musica, invece, mi ha insegnato che quando intraprendi un percorso il risultato può mutare e l'idea iniziale cambiare, ma è solo con il sudore e il lavoro costante che può accadere in maniera positiva. Gli errori fanno parte del percorso, non sono sconfitte ma un bagaglio necessario alla destinazione verso cui stai camminando". 

"Che finale ti aspetti?" è la domanda che Layz pone all'inizio del brano nel quale l'artista, a differenza dei precedenti, non si racconta in prima persona. É una domanda aperta posta da un interlocutore terzo nella quale ognuno di noi può cercare la propria risposta personale.

Alle volte, la paura delle conseguenze di una scelta ci condiziona fino al punto di spingerci a desistere ancor prima di iniziare. Ma l'errore più grande sarebbe rinunciare in partenza per paura di un fallimento. Non sempre si vince o si perde: si va incontro, piuttosto, ad esperienze uniche che ci danno l'opportunità di lasciare un segno indelebile nel mondo.

Bus driver who railed against coughing passenger dies from COVID-19

 A Detroit bus driver who had expressed anger on Facebook about a coughing passenger has died from COVID-19, officials said Thursday. Jason Hargrove felt ill about four days after posting a passionate video on social media on March 21. He died Wednesday, said Glenn Tolbert, the head of the drivers union. Hargrove posted a profanity-laced video complaining about a woman he said repeatedly coughed while on his bus. The coronavirus can spread through coughs. The woman wasn't in the video.  Hargrove said drivers are "public workers doing our job, trying to make a honest living, take care of our families." "For you to get on the bus ... and cough several times without covering up your mouth and you know (we're) in the middle of a pandemic - that lets me know that some folks don't care," Hargrove said. "At some point in time, we've got to draw the line and say enough is enough. I feel violated." On March 17, the city eliminated fares, promised more cleaning and told bus riders to enter and exit from the rear door only. The changes occurred after drivers refused to work that day to protest conditions. Mayor Mike Duggan said "everybody in America" should watch Hargrove's video.  -- The Associated Press   12:06 AM

Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine ordered released from prison four months early due to coronavirus concerns

Daniel Hernandez, also known as the rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine, was ordered released from prison four months early amid concerns about the coronavirus pandemic. In the decision, U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer cited Hernandez's asthma and the greater risk he would face behind bars.  "In light of the heightened medical risk presented to Mr. Hernandez by the COVID-19 pandemic, there are extraordinary and compelling reasons to reduce Mr. Hernandez's sentence in the manner requested — to wit, releasing Mr. Hernandez from custody and requiring him to serve his first four months of supervised release in home confinement, on specified conditions," Engelmayer wrote.  Hernandez was originally sentenced to two years in prison for his ties with the street gang Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods. He could have been sentenced for decades for his crimes, but he reduced his sentence by becoming a star witness for the prosecution.  "We are very happy that the Court allowed my client, Daniel Hernandez, to serve the remainder of his sentence at home," Hernandez's lawyer Lance Lazzaro said in a statement. "Considering today's challenging circumstances as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic, inmates are especially vulnerable to contracting the virus. The Court showed great compassion today and my client is very grateful."    9:05 PM

Trump says states need to "work out" competing bids for medical equipment for themselves

President Trump on Thursday said states need to work out competing bids for medical equipment among themselves, and continued to blame states for failing to stockpile medical equipment like ventilators. Governors are sounding the alarm that they are bidding against themselves, as well as the federal government, for much-needed medical equipment and supplies.  "Well they have that, and they have to work that out," Mr. Trump said, when asked about what should be done when states are fighting over orders of medical equipment.  Mr. Trump said states "should have been building their stockpiles," adding that the federal government is a "backup."  "We're a backup, we're not an ordering clerk, we're a backup, and we've done an unbelievable job," Mr. Trump said.  Read more here.   8:37 PM

2 cruise ships with sick passengers dock in Florida

Two cruise ships carrying passengers stricken with coronavirus have docked in Florida on Thursday. It ends a nightmarish odyssey for some of the passengers, but for others aboard the journey is far from over. After nearly a month at sea, the Zaandam's grueling voyage ended in Port Everglades. Passenger Val Myntti couldn't wait for it to be over. "We are on pins and needles and we are so excited about it," Myntii told CBS News. The Rotterdam, which took passengers with no symptoms from the Zaandam, arrived, too. There were a combined 2,300 people on both ships. At one point, the Zaandam reported 200 sick passengers, nine who tested positive for the virus and four deaths. Read more here.

National parks open during outbreak cause fears

Even as the public is shut out of local parks across the country, many national parks remain open with crowded trails and little social distancing. Some former park employees and outside groups are demanding a shut down of the entire National Park System. Dustin Stone, who worked at Klondike Gold Rush Park in Alaska, said he quit his job in protest.  "I wound up walking out of my job," Stone said. "I had been in contact with peers at parks in the lower 48 that were telling me horror stories about their parks being overloaded with visitors."

Trump says he's "looking to see" if he can stop states from releasing prisoners

President Trump said Thursday that he disapproves of states freeing "serious criminals" to reduce congestion in prisons during the coronavirus pandemic, and that he's "looking to see" if he has the right to stop them. "Some people are getting out that are very serious criminals, in some states, and I don't like that. I don't like it." Mr. Trump said at the daily Coronavirus Task Force briefing. "But it's a city or state thing in certain cases, as you know." "We don't like it, the people don't like it, and we're looking to see if I have the right to stop it in some cases," Mr. Trump added.      7:43 PM / April 2, 2020

Wisconsin won't move next week's primary

A federal judge ruled against postponing Wisconsin's April 7 election but is providing voters an additional six days to turn in absentee ballots. In his ruling, Judge William Conley again criticized Wisconsin leaders for not stepping up to delay the election but said it wasn't within his purview to do so. "The only role of a federal district court is to take steps that help avoid the impingement on citizens' rights to exercise their voting franchise as protected by the United States Constitution and federal statutes," Conley wrote. "That is what the court attempts to do in this opinion and the order below, understanding that a consequence of these measures may be to further the public health crisis in this State. Unfortunately, that is beyond the power of this court to control." Thursday was supposed to be the final day to request absentee ballots, but Conley is giving Wisconsin voters until Friday at 6 p.m. ET to place those requests. The deadline to turn in the ballots has been extended to 5:00 p.m. ET on April 13. As of Thursday morning, more than 1.1 million absentee ballots have been requested, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC). Read more here.   7:10 PM / April 2, 2020

Jeff Bezos donates $100 million to U.S. food banks

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos is donating $100 million to food banks across the U.S. so they can feed needy Americans as the novel coronavirus cripples the economy.  "Even in ordinary times, food insecurity in American households is an important problem, and unfortunately COVID-19 is amplifying that stress significantly," Bezos said on Instagram Thursday. "Millions of Americans are turning to food banks during this time." The donation will go to Feeding America, a Chicago-based network of more than 200 food banks that feed 46 million people. Forbes ranked Feeding America the second-largest U.S. charity by revenue. The nonprofit generated $2.9 billion in revenue in 2019, most of which went toward sending food to pantries, according to a 2019 financial report.  Read more here.   7:10 PM / April 2, 2020

Bodies pile up on streets in Ecuador as coronavirus spreads

The novel coronavirus has ravaged the coastal Ecuadorian city of Guayaquil, which has struggled to cope with the number of corpses as hospitals, morgues and funeral parlors have been overwhelmed. Some social media videos show unattended bodies lying on the street with nowhere else to go. The outbreak in Ecuador has sickened at least 3,100 people, according to John Hopkins' latest data map. The epicenter in the country is in Guayaquil, where residents have criticized the government's response. Because of the strict quarantine measures taken to restrict the spread of COVID-19, people have been limited in what they can do for loved ones or neighbors who die at home. Some, such as Guayaquil resident Stalin Briones, have been sharing disturbing photos or videos to get attention about what's going on.  Read more here.   6:17 PM / April 2, 2020

Navy removes captain who raised alarm about virus on aircraft carrier

The captain of an aircraft carrier hit by the coronavirus was relieved of his command by the Navy on Thursday for going outside the chain of command and circulating a memo pleading for help from Washington, one which quickly became public. Acting Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly said he relieved Captain Brett Crozier of command of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after losing confidence in his ability to lead under the stress of dealing with the viral outbreak. "Command is a sacred trust that must be continually earned," Modly said at a news conference at the Pentagon. "As I learned more about the events of the past week onboard the Teddy Roosevelt ... I could reach no other conclusion than Captain Crozier had allowed the complexity of his challenge with the COVID breakout on the ship to overwhelm his ability to act professionally when acting professionally was what was needed most at the time."

Amazon says all warehouse workers will have face masks by next week

Amazon says it will provide face masks to all its warehouse workers globally by early next week and broaden its use of temperature checks as it tries to slow the spread of coronavirus amid its vast logistics workforce. The announcement comes 10 days after CEO Jeff Bezos acknowledged the company was having trouble filling orders for masks amid a widespread shortage of protective equipment. After workers in several warehouses across the U.S. complained of not having sufficient protective equipment and shared reports of colleagues coming to work sick, the bottleneck appears to have cleared. "The millions of masks we ordered weeks ago are now arriving, and we're distributing them to our teams as quickly as possible. Masks will be available as soon as today in some locations and in all locations by early next week," Dave Clark, Amazon's senior vice president of worldwide operations, said on a company blog on Thursday.  Read more here.   2:52 PM / April 2, 2020

French president says he will loosen lockdown restrictions on people with autism

French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Thursday, World Autism Awareness Day, that he will loosen lockdown restrictions on people with autism and on families with autistic children. "I can imagine your worry at this time, the emotions you must be feeling," he said in a televised address. Macron noted the nationwide lockdown marked a sudden end to the routines that many autistic people rely on by restricting movement and access to family members, friends and schools. Under the lockdown, people are only allowed to leave home for essentials such as grocery shopping and medical visits, and for one exercise period of just one hour a day, within a radius of one kilometer from their home. "For some of you, staying home is hard, and can cause you anguish," Macron said, as he announced that people with autism will be allowed to go out for longer periods and more often, and will be able to travel farther than 1 kilometer in order to go to places they find comforting. The president of Sésame Autisme, an association of parents of people with autism, welcomed the move.   It is expected the new guidelines will go into effect in the coming days.   2:34 PM / April 2, 2020

New York has enough ventilators in stockpile for about 6 days, governor says

New York state has 2,200 ventilators in its stockpile, enough for about six days at the "current burn rate," Governor Andrew Cuomo said Thursday. He said the state is still looking to acquire more ventilators.  "The burn rate of ventilators is troubling, and six days of ventilators in the stockpile is troubling," he said, but added, "we have all these extra measures that I believe if push comes to shove will put us in fairly good shape." He said the measures include transporting ventilators from hospitals that don't need them at the moment to others that do, using anesthesia machines as ventilators, and splitting one ventilator between two patients.  "I don't want to say yet I'm confident, and it depends on how many we need, but I can say with confidence we have researched every possibility, every idea. Every measure you can possibly take to find ventilators, this state has done. That I can promise you." Governor Cuomo: Ventilator stockpile may last 6 more days   11:47 AM / April 2, 2020

Putin extends Russia's business shutdown until April 30 as coronavirus cases mount

President Vladimir Putin announced Thursday that the Russian government was extending the nationwide shutdown of non-essential businesses until April 30 to try to slow the spread of the new coronavirus in the country. The move came as Russian officials reported a surge in COVID-19 cases, with 771 more people testing positive over the last day, bringing the country's total up to 3,548. "We have not passed the peak of the epidemic in the world and in our country yet," Putin said in a televised address, urging the vast majority of Russians to stay home. He said that the measures had already bought more time in the fight against the virus. Dozens of the country's regions, including capital Moscow and the surrounding area, have also imposed lockdowns this week, ordering residents to remain in their homes for all but essential outings.

Iranian students try to deliver coronavirus "aid" packages to "unprivileged American people"

A hard-line organization of Iranian college students says it has attempted to deliver "humanitarian aid" including coronavirus test kits, disinfectants, face masks and gloves to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran, ostensibly to be delivered to the U.S. The group's leader said the aid was to help the "unprivileged American people" fight one of the world's deadliest COVID-19 outbreaks. The Student Basij is the youth division of the pro-regime Basij militia. Video on Iranian state media showed the student group trying to deliver what appeared to be two truckloads of the purported supplies to the Swiss Embassy, which represents U.S. interests in Iran. The embassy refused to receive the packages, but has not said why. Video broadcast by Iran's state-run IRIB news network shows a truck purportedly carrying "humanitarian health aid" supplies intended for the U.S. to the Swiss Embassy in Tehran. The embassy, which represents U.S. interests in Iran, refused to accept the April 2, 2020 delivery, but would not say why.  Still from video on IRIBnews.ir Relations between Washington and Tehran have been strained for months, and Iranian leaders have blasted the Trump administration for harsh economic sanctions they claim are hindering their response to the country's own COVID-19 outbreak. American officials - and some Iranians - suspect Iran has hidden the extent of the outbreak in the Islamic Republic and exaggerated its capacity to fight it. Amid shortages of personal protective equipment like masks and gloves for American medics, the U.S. has sought supplies from abroad - including from another international rival, China. -Seyed Bathaei   10:01 AM / April 2, 2020

Human impact on the environment may make pandemics more likely, experts warn

About two-thirds of all infectious diseases in humans have their origins in animals. Scientists say the ability of a virus to mutate and adapt from animals to the human system is very rare, but the expansion of the human footprint is making that rare event much more likely.  For most people, up until the novel coronavirus took over the headlines, the possibility of a new disease emerging out of nowhere and spreading around the world at a breakneck pace seemed like something out of a science fiction movie. But some members of the scientific community have been sounding the alarm for decades, warning that it was not a matter of if, but when another pandemic would threaten humanity.  Read more here.   9:19 AM / April 2, 2020

After Zoom calls hacked with racial slurs and pornography, CEO admits "mistake"

Hackers target Zoom videoconference calls amid coronavirus pandemic The FBI is warning about reports of people intruding on Zoom calls with pornographic or hate images. The popular app said its number of users has ballooned from about 10 million to hundreds of millions with people isolated at home under coronavirus precautions.  But, attackers have discovered Zoom, too, as one Long Island mother found out earlier this month. Michelle, who asked that her last name not be used because she fears more online attacks, said her 14-year-old daughter was online in an "Ask the Rabbi" class for her private girls' Modern Orthodox high school when some boys "Zoom-bombed" it. "First, the screens were completely black and they were saying all these anti-Semitic things, cursing them out, saying you f***ing Jews, et cetera," Michelle told CBS News Consumer Investigative Reporter Anna Werner. "And then one boy suddenly stripped and was naked." Click here to read the full story.   8:43 AM / April 2, 2020

Record 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment last week

April opened with millions of people out of work and stock markets slumping after the White House this week acknowledged that the coronavirus could kill hundreds of thousands of Americans. It's a preview of the carnage to come. Some 6.6 million Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week, the Department of Labor said Thursday, double the number of applications last week and 10 times the previous weekly record set in 1982. As many as 20 million people could be out of work this summer, according to separate estimates from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute and Bank of America. "We haven't, in my lifetime, my parents' lifetime, seen this. This is truly unprecedented," said Bill Rodgers, a fellow at The Century Foundation, a think tank.

New England Patriots plane flying medical masks to Boston from China

The New England Patriots plane is flying much-needed coronavirus crisis medical supplies to Boston from China, CBS Boston reports. A Patriots spokesperson told the station the team's Boeing 767 went to Shenzhen, China Wednesday to pick up 1.2 million N95 masks. According to the Wall Street Journal, which first reported the deal, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker struck an agreement two weeks ago to acquire the critically needed masks from a "collection of Chinese manufacturers," but he had no way to get them back to Massachusetts. So he turned to Patriots president Jonathan Kraft — a longtime friend of President Trump — for help. Owner Robert Kraft also got involved, as did the State Department.   8:02 AM / April 2, 2020

Dr. Anthony Fauci to receive additional security following threats

Federal officials are ramping up security for Dr. Anthony Fauci after threats were made against him, multiple officials from the Department of Justice confirmed to CBS News. The increase in security came at the request of the Health and Human Services Inspector General (HHS IG), the officials said. The Department of Health and Human Services requested that U.S. Marshals deputize a group of agents in the office of the HHS IG to handle the doctor's protection, and the request was approved by the Department of Justice, according to the officials. The officials did not expand on the nature of the threats, or provide detail on the extent of physical protection Dr. Fauci will receive. Dr. Anthony Fauci discusses the latest in the fight against coronavirus Dr. Fauci, who is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, is one of the most prominent and respected voices in the nation's fight against the coronavirus pandemic, and appears regularly at the White House's daily Coronavirus Task Force briefings. Although he has occasionally stepped in to correct or dial back claims President Trump has made about the nation's effort to stop the virus, Dr. Fauci has emphasized that he and Trump are working together well. Asked Thursday on "CBS This Morning" about the threats and pressure he is under, Dr. Fauci told co-host Gayle King: "It's my job. This is the life I've chosen, and I'm doing it. I mean, obviously there's a lot of pressure. I would be foolish to deny that. But that's what I do. I've been through crises like this before. Dating back, you know, 37 years from the very beginning of the HIV epidemic. It's a job to do, and we've just got to do it."       7:24 AM / April 2, 2020

LA mayor urges city's residents to wear masks when not home in bid to curb virus spread

The mayor of Los Angeles has urged 4 million residents to wear masks to combat the spread of the new coronavirus when they walk out in public, even as state health officials shy away from requiring the measure.  Homemade cloth masks, or even a "tucked-in bandanna," will help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the nation's second-largest city and remind people to practice safe social distancing, Mayor Eric Garcetti said Wednesday as he donned a black cloth mask to make his point. "I know this looks surreal," Garcetti said. "We're going to have to get used to seeing each other like this. ... This will be the look." But he urged people not to use medical-grade masks, such as N95 or surgical masks, which are in short supply and needed for health care workers and first responders.

Spain sees record 950 coronavirus deaths in a single day

Spain saw a new record in virus-related fatalities Thursday, with 950 deaths in 24 hours. The total number of deaths in Spain was 10,003 on Thursday. New coronavirus infections rose by nearly 8% overnight to 110,238, placing Spain on par with Italy, the country that has seen Europe's worst outbreak to date. Health authorities have been saying the pace of new cases confirmed daily in Spain was dropping from an average of 20% up to March 25, to less than 12% after that date, more than 10 days after Spaniards were ordered to stay at home.  The government has acknowledged that the real number of new infections could be much higher because Spain only has the capacity to process between 15,000 and 20,000 tests per day.  — CBS/AP   6:53 AM / April 2, 2020

Social Security recipients will automatically get stimulus checks, Treasury says in reversal

The Treasury Department said late Wednesday that Americans on Social Security will not be required to file a "simple tax return" to receive a stimulus check from the U.S. government. The announcement reversed an earlier statement from the Internal Revenue Service that participants in the federal retirement program would need to file such a return to get the funds.  The IRS directive would have impacted about 15 million people, including millions of seniors on Social Security, who aren't required to file tax returns, according to Chuck Marr, senior director of federal tax policy for the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Seniors who rely on Social Security for their sole source of income don't have to file tax returns.    6:38 AM / April 2, 2020

China insists U.S. "lying" and shifting blame with accusations of COVID-19 cover-up

The Chinese government is hitting back at U.S. officials and lawmakers accusing it of suppressing and hiding information about the coronavirus outbreak. Foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said Thursday that "the words and actions of individual American politicians are really despicable and immoral" and that they should focus their energies on what they can do to protect their citizens and save as many lives as they can. "We have said many times that to stigmatize, blame and shift responsibility to others cannot make up for the lost time," she said. "Continued lying will only waste more time and cause more loss of life." American lawmakers and officials have publicly accused China of a cover-up of the seriousness of the initial outbreak that allowed it to spread more widely, and U.S. officials have told CBS News the American intelligence community believes China has been under-reporting both the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the country.  Aircraft from China with medical supplies arrives in New York City Hua insisted that China has released the relevant information in a timely manner every day.  "We understand the current plight of the U.S. and the pressure facing some American officials," she said.  — CBS/AP   6:18 AM / April 2, 2020

A 56-year-old man living in Mumbai's Dharavi slum, the largest slum in Asia, has died of COVID-19. The victim had no travel history and owned a garment shop in the impoverished area, one of India's most densely populated with about 1 million people crammed into only about two square miles. The authorities have quarantined the man's family and sealed the building in which he lived, which consists of about 300 apartments in a redeveloped part of the slum, according to Indian news agencies.  Authorities were working to trace and test everyone who had come into contact with the victim for COVID-19 on Thursday.  Health workers prepare to shift a man suspected of coronavirus to a hospital at Shahu Nagar in Dharavi, one of Asia's largest slums, during a lockdown to slow the spreading of coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in Mumbai, India, April 2, 2020.

New York City hospitals now too swamped to try to resuscitate many cardiac arrest patients

Paramedics in New York City have been given temporary new guidelines instructing them not to bring any "adult non-traumatic or blunt traumatic cardiac arrest" patient to a city emergency room unless their heart can be restarted in the field, because hospitals are too overwhelmed with coronavirus cases. EMS workers should now only bring such cases — virtually any adult whose heart has stopped for any reason — to a hospital if there is "a direct order from a medical control physician," or the ambulance crew itself is facing "an imminent physical danger" at the scene.  The dire directive was issued by the Regional Emergency Medical Services Council of New York City on Tuesday. Previously, ambulance crews would have delivered such patients to emergency rooms for further resuscitation efforts. CBS New York confirmed the story, first reported by the New York Post, and CBS News has obtained a copy of the advisory sent to EMS workers. Medical workers handle a patient at Mount Sinai Hospital amid the coronavirus epidemic in New York City, April 1, 2020. Spencer Platt/Getty New York City is the epicenter of the U.S. COVID-19 epidemic with at least 1,374 of the total 5,137 deaths in the country as of Thursday morning, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.   The Tuesday advisory took effect immediately, telling EMS crews that, "in the event a resuscitation is terminated, and the body is in public view, the body can be left in the custody of NYPD.    5:26 AM / April 2, 2020

North Korea insists it's coronavirus-free

North Korea remains totally free of the coronavirus, a senior health official in Pyongyang insisted Thursday, despite mounting skepticism overseas as confirmed global cases near one million. The already isolated, nuclear-armed North quickly shut its borders in January after COVID-19 was first detected in neighboring China, and imposed strict containment measures. Pak Myong Su, director of the anti-epidemic department of the North's Central Emergency Anti-epidemic Headquarters, insisted the efforts had been completely successful. "Not one single person has been infected with the novel coronavirus in our country so far," Pak told AFP. Nearly every other country has reported coronavirus cases. Experts have said the North is particularly vulnerable to the disease because of its weak medical system, and defectors have accused Pyongyang of covering up an outbreak. — AFP   5:25 AM / April 2, 2020
