Jacob Rees-Mogg says fish are ‘happier’ now they’re in British watersFish are “better and happier” because they are “now British” after Brexit, Jacob Rees-Mogg has claimed.The Commons Leader was responding to criticism from the SNP after the party’s Commons leader Tommy Sheppard raised the “Brexit fishing disaster” and asked for a debate on compensation for Scotland’s fishing industry.“What is happening is that the government is tackling this issue, dealing with it as quickly as possible, and the key thing is we've got our fish back,” Mr Rees-Mogg said."They're now British fish and they're better and happier fish for it."The speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle intervened and said: "Obviously there's no overwhelming evidence for that."

Tourism Minister: Covid-19 Vaccination Certificate Not Required for Greece Entry Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theoharis ruled out on Thursday the need for a Covid-19 vaccination certificate for travelers wishing to visit Greece this summer.Theoharis was referring to a proposal made this week to the European Commission by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis calling for an EU-wide vaccination certificate which, he said, would facilitate travel. EU leaders are expected to discuss the issue during a teleconference on January 21.
China unveils levitating train that can travel at 400mphChina has unveiled a prototype of a new levitating train, which it claims is capable of reaching speeds of up to 400mph.A shortened version of the High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) high-speed “maglev” train, consisting of just one carriage, was displayed on a limited length of test track in Chengdu on 13 January.Created by scientists at the Southwest Jiaotong University, the train has no wheels and instead uses magnets which allow it to “hover” just above the track, resulting in frictionless, faster travel.Magnets are also used to propel the train – opposite poles attract and pull it forward, while the same poles repel and push the train. The train is designed to travel at 385mph – a speed which would equate to the London-Paris journey taking just over 47 minutes – but scientists think speeds could, at some point, reach 497mph.It’s also designed to be driverless, capable of self-directing and self-stabilising. It follows the launch of a driverless train capable of travelling at 215mph in China this time last year.The service connects Beijing with Zhangjiakou, two of the main host cities of the 2022 Winter Olympics.It slashed the journey time from three hours to just 47 minutes.
