Mixed reactions as Tokyo Olympic COVID defenses tested at marathon event
The Tokyo Olympic marathon test event took place on Wednesday in the northern city of Sapporo with mixed reactions.
"In order to hold the games, you need to test it, there's also the matter of security, in order not to spread infection, I think you need to practice to forecast, so I am for it."
"At schools, all the children are practicing self-restraint but the adults are just doing whatever they want to do. That is not okay."
The Hokkaido-Sapporo Marathon Festival 2021 half-marathon event was used as a test run for both the proposed Tokyo Olympic marathon course and COVID-19 countermeasures to be used during the games.

The Tokyo Olympic marathon will take place in Sapporo to avoid the summer heat of the capital.

French minister threats to cut Jersey's electricity
French Maritime Minister Annick Girdardin has warned that France could cut off electricity to the British island of Jersey in a dispute over fishing rights.
The warning followed claims from Paris that Jersey is stalling in issuing licenses to French boats under the terms of the UK's post-Brexit trade deal with the EU.
Officials in Jersey accused France of acting disproportionately, saying they were just following new rules that took effect last week.
Britain is responsible for the island's foreign relations even though Jersey is not technically part of the UK.
Jersey and the other Channel Islands, which are closer geographically to France than to Britain, are self-governing dependencies of the British Crown that have their own administrations and elected legislatures.
