Philippine Court Allows Maria Ressa to Attend Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony
The Court of Appeals in the Philippines said on Friday that it would allow the journalist Maria Ressa to travel to Norway to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, after the government tried to block her from attending the ceremony. Ms. Ressa’s lawyer, Ted Te, filed the appeal last month for his client after the Philippines’ solicitor general said the journalist could not travel to Norway. The government called her a flight risk because her “recurring criticisms of the Philippine legal processes in the international community reveal her lack of respect for the judicial system.”Ms. Ressa was awarded the peace prize in October along with Dmitri A. Muratov, a Russian investigative journalist, for “their courageous fight for freedom of expression.”Ms. Ressa, the first Nobel laureate from the Philippines, is the chief executive officer of Rappler, a digital news organization that is well known for its investigations on disinformation and of President Rodrigo Duterte’s brutal five-year drug war. She is an outspoken critic of Mr. Duterte, whose government has filed seven criminal charges against her, including cyberlibel and tax evasion.

State faces internal squabbling, competing bid in Bald Head Island ferry sale
'There’s something wrong'For most of the last century Bald Head Island, which juts out from the North Carolina coast south of Wilmington, was privately owned. But they still own the ferries that are the only way to reach Bald Head Island and the land the vessels need to operate through a company called Bald Head Island Ltd. “But they should not be borrowing more money than they’re worth.”Competing pitchThe Bald Head Island Transportation Authority has 11 members, three from the Village of Bald Head Island. “We never understood why it was considered a regional ferry authority,” Bald Head Island Village Councilman Scott Gardner said in an interview. A spokesperson for Bald Head Island Ltd. declined comment and referred any questions about the sale to Rabon, the authority’s chair.

Most Covid Vaccines Will Work as Boosters, Study Suggests
People looking for a booster shot of a Covid-19 vaccine probably don’t need to fret about what brand it is: Many combinations of shots are likely to provide strong protection, according to a large new study. In a comparison of seven different vaccine brands, British researchers found that most of them prompted a strong immune response, with the mRNA shots from Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech eliciting the largest responses. The study was published on Thursday in The Lancet. “These are welcome data for policymakers,” said Merryn Voysey, a statistician at the University of Oxford who was not involved in the study. Some researchers suspect that people would need a very high level of antibodies to protect against it.

Lebanese minister resigns in bid to ease crisis with Saudis
The resignation, Kordahi said at a press conference in the Lebanese capital, may help Macron start a dialogue to help restore Beirut-Riyadh relations. “I hope that this resignation opens the window” for better relations with Gulf Arab countries. Local media reported there were mediations to trade Bitar’s removal from the probe with Kordahi’s resignation. After accepting Kordahi’s resignation, Mikati called on his Cabinet to convene and end the deadlock that has paralyzed the government for weeks. Salem Zahran, a Lebanese analyst, said Kordahi’s resignation may be a “ticket” to jump-start French mediation with Saudi Arabia on Lebanon's behalf but is unlikely to change much domestically.
