The chancery of the Embassy of Cyprus in Beirut as well as the Ambassador’s residence on Tuesday sustained damage from the two explosions which shook the capital of Lebanon.
The diplomatic mission’s charge d’affairs Eleni Papanicolaou was slightly injured.
The embassy’s duty officer, Serge Bou Samraat, told CNA the extent of the damage has not been assessed.
Two other Cypriot women were also injured in the blast.
Beyond Baker Street, where have you been most of my life?
This Sherlockian anthology edited by Michael Harrison, which Steve Doyle considers “a classic,” came out in 1976 in the wake of the Sherlockian wave created by Nicholas Meyer’s The Seven-Per-Cent Solution. But, somehow, I missed it.
It recently came to me from Carolyn Senter among a number of Sherlockian books that belonged to her late husband and our good friend, R. Joel Senter, Jr. I consider an inheritance from Joel.
Even before I began reading Beyond Baker Street, I noticed something curious: pages 205-236 of the volume I have are printed upside down! S. Brent Morris says this is almost certainly a complete “signature,” in bookbinding terms, and when the worker gathered the signatures together this one was inadvertently inverted.
That novelty aside, the content of the anthology has something of the feel of such masterworks as Edgar W. Smith’s Profile by Gaslight and Vincent Starrett’s 221B: Studies in Sherlock Holmes, published more than a generation earlier.
The quality of the essays by 25 American and British writers is not as uniformly interesting as in those early books, for my taste, but the best ones are very good indeed. John Gardner offers a masterful overview of the Victorian underworld, David Pearson has one of the best articles I’ve read on the question of Holmes’s religious faith, and Martin Gardner’s proof that ACD didn’t write the Canon is clever though rather mean-spirited.
My favorite essay, though, is Anthony Howlett’s piece on “The Impersonators: Sherlock Holmes on Stage and Screen.” His frank assessment – and the frankness is what makes it so enjoyable – lauds Basil Rathbone and Arthur Wontner, but surprisingly finds Peter Cushing “a rather lightweight and prissy Holmes” and his Hound “a feeble and disappointing production”!
Among the many illustrations that add to the enjoyment of the anthology are 13 delightful line drawings by Henry Lauritzen.
Now you must excuse me. I have to add a book to my library shelves.
People from EU countries would have no intention of helping the UK in a major crisis, a vast new study has revealed.
YouGov provided people from 13 EU member states with a list of 35 countries and asked which ones they would be willing to offer financial help in a major crisis.
Of that 35, only Colombia ranked lower than the UK.
Matthew Smith, from YouGov, said it was evidence of how much the UK has “alienated” itself from its EU neighbours.
It follows the bitter Brexit fallout since the 2016 referendum – something that continues to this day as the UK and EU struggle to negotiate its “future relationship” terms.

On average, people from the 13 EU countries gave the UK a -8% net score in terms of their willingness to help in a crisis. Colombia, at the bottom, had -12%.
By contrast, people from the UK were willing to help all 13 EU nations, the survey found.
Smith said of the findings: “These results also demonstrate quite how far the UK has alienated its European neighbours.
“Only in Greece, Denmark, Poland and Romania do more people than not say they would be willing to give the UK financial aid in the event of a major crisis.
“This is not simply the case that the UK is a rich country and so people won’t donate on the basis that the UK can afford to look after itself: people are far more willing to provide financial assistance to the other top wealthy European countries Germany and France.”
France had a net score of +21% from its EU neighbours, while Germany had +14%.
It comes as a separate study found Brexit sparked a wave of migration out of Britain to Europe similar to those caused by a serious economic or political crisis.
Migrations to EU countries have risen 30% since the 2016 referendum, according to a joint research project between the Oxford-in-Berlin partnership and the WZB Social Science Centre.
The data showed that migration from the UK to EU states averaged 56,832 people per year from 2008 to 2015, but climbed to 73,642 a year from 2016 to 2018.
The number of UK citizens attaining an EU member state passport also leapt by more than 500% across the continent and more than 2,000% in Germany.
The study’s authors said: “The UK is facing a potential brain drain of highly-educated British citizens, who have decided to invest their futures in continental Europe.”
Justice Minister Emily Yioliti was at Paphos airport on Tuesday to inspect whether safety measures related to the coronavirus were being adhered to.
In her first visit to Paphos since her appointment, she told reporters “the picture we saw at Paphos airport was very satisfactory.”
A day earlier, the government announced more measures would be taken in both Paphos and Larnaca airports to ensure social distancing was maintained, such as increased police presence and opening more counters.
Yiolitis also met with Hermes Airport management to discuss better coordination between themselves and police.
Shortly afterwards, she paid a visit to Paphos police headquarters where she met the city’s police chief Nicos Pentaras and his team.
A top priority for Paphos is to ensure the city has enough resources to make its own decisions. For instance there is no state pathologist or secure place for hospitalisation in Paphos which creates issues for the force.
According to Yiolitis, these are matters which will be looked into so Paphos can handle their own cases.
The justice minister also added that the woman who recently returned from the USA and is responsible for creating a coronavirus cluster in Limassol is now in quarantine, while contact tracing continues. Statements are being taken to assess whether charges can be filed against her.
Police on Tuesday said they caught a man from Nicosia who was supposed to self-isolate as a contact of a person with coronavirus but was not at home when they went to check up on him.
The man was reported and is being investigated.
According to police spokesman Christos Andreou, the man was on the list with three other people who had to self-isolate. The health ministry’s epidemiology monitoring unit asked police to check on them because they could not trace them.
Three of the people were in Nicosia and one in Larnaca.
The three people on the list were found to be in their homes when officers went there but one man from Nicosia was not there. He arrived home while the officers were there.
He reportedly claimed he had not encountered anyone while outside.
Andreou told the Cyprus News Agency that in cases when the health ministry cannot locate people that are supposed to be in self-isolation, they ask help from the police.
He also said police would be carrying out random checks to make sure that people who need to be in self-isolation are doing just that. The health ministry will send police a list with these people, he said.
Justice Minister Emily Yiolitis announced on Monday that the police would be conducting intensive random spot checks all over Cyprus to confirm that people from category C countries and close contacts of confirmed patients are indeed self-isolating at the accommodation address they provided upon entry to the country.
The stricter measures follow a rise in local cases mainly in Limassol, including the creation of clusters started by people who did not self-isolate when arriving from category C countries.
Authorities also using social media to prevent the holding of events that could attract large crowds.
According to deputy head of the state health services Irodotos Irodotou officials of the e-commerce department monitor social media and trace advertisements on events that violate the measures in place and forward them to the police.
He told state broadcaster CyBC they were able to stop some events that were expecting large numbers of people.
“On some occasions, we have forced organisers to remove their ads from social media,” Irodotou said.
The majority of travellers coming or planning to come to Cyprus from the UK for their holidays mainly consists of Cypriot nationals living abroad, according to travel agents specialised in organising trips to the island from Britain.
Travel agents have complained about the obligatory test travellers from the UK have to take before flying to Cyprus, deeming it a strong deterrent for potential holidaymakers. TUI and Jet2 have already cancelled their programmes to Cyprus until mid-August in the hope the UK will make it to the list of category A countries, where no testing is required.
The UK is currently in category B, which for tourists arriving from there, means testing before leaving Britain. The process can be both difficult and expensive for holidaymakers, especially families though children 12 and under do not need a test.
The first group of British tourists arrived last Saturday. Transport Minister Yiannis Karousos said on Monday they expect around 1,500 a day to come for the month of August. Hoteliers say this will not do the trick in boosting tourism.
The president of the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO) in the UK Noel Josephides, owner of Sunvil Travel, which specialises in offering packages to Cyprus, said most potential tourists find the procedures to come too Cyprus too complicated and discouraging.
“We had people booking trips to Cyprus in the past months but almost all of them have cancelled their plans,” he said.
“In fact, we have close to zero new bookings for this summer. For Britons with family and children, the tests and forms that need to be completed are a nightmare.”
Another travel agent, Harry Kyrillou, owner of a company called Planet Holidays, confirmed the trend, adding he had absolutely no bookings for Cyprus in the month of July.
“Cyprus has opened up to British tourists only in theory,” he said. “Realistically, the entry requirements demanded to British tourists scare them away.
Kyrillou also complained about the fact that the fastest way to obtain a certificate stating travellers are coronavirus-free is through a private clinic, “which charges between £150-£200, an enormity.”
“I think the only people who will bother coming to Cyprus if things don’t change are Cypriot nationals, who will be able to get tested on arrival. For everyone else the procedure is simply too complicated,” he said.
Earlier in July, tour operators Tui and Jet2 announced that they will not fly to Cyprus until the UK is moved to category A, meaning when British holidaymakers would be allowed on the island without taking or providing a negative coronavirus test.
“This year is completely lost,” Kyrillou said. “The situation for us, for hoteliers and for everyone else working in the tourism industry is dramatic.
“Of course, I am not in a position to say whether the measures are wrong. They are obviously taken by experts.
“However, it is undeniable they are impacting the tourism market heavily and they are preventing people from coming to Cyprus, creating a huge economical damage.”
25 new cases of coronavirus were detected today in Cyprus, out of a total of 3,988 laboratory diagnoses, with the total number amounting to 1,180.
According to data from the Epidemiological Surveillance Unit of the Ministry of Health, a total of 3,988 laboratory diagnoses identified 25 cases of SARS-CoV-2.
In detail, virus-positive individuals emerged as follows:
The cases in detail concern:
In addition, the following laboratory diagnoses were carried out, without the detection of a case:
On the basis of the data so far, the total number of positive cases amounts to 1,180.
In addition, five patients in good general condition are treated in a ward at Famagusta General Hospital.
