Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have fallen out, but what caused their feud?
Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield have been co-hosting This Morning for years now, but there’s one question that has been on everyone’s lips since the show’s return to ITV in September 2019: why are Holly and Phil not speaking to each other? Their falling out was first noticed by viewers during the live broadcast of their show on October 20th. Since then, fans have been wondering what could have caused such a rift between the two. And it seems that the answer might lie with none other than Harry Styles.
What is going on between Holly and Phil?
On October 20th, This Morning viewers were left shocked when Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield appeared to fall out during a live broadcast. The pair looked tense as they spoke about upcoming guests Harry Styles and Chris Hemsworth, with Phil appearing particularly unimpressed with his co-host. In fact, things got so bad that Phil cut off his co-host mid-sentence at one point.
Czechia is the English version of the Czech Republic, which is a landlocked country in Central Europe.
The Czech Republic is one of the most popular European countries to visit, as it’s known for its natural beauty and historical landmarks. However, many people aren’t aware that this country has an official name change in English. It’s no secret that the Czech Republic has a rather long name, but it was recently shortened to Czechia by its government. Why did they make this decision? And why does the country have two names in English? Here’s everything you need to know about the official name change from Czech Republic to Czechia.
What is Czechia?
Czechia is one of many variations of the country’s name that are used in English. Others include The Czech Republic, The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, and The Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia.
The most common variation used by travelers is The Czech Republic (the full name), while some others may use either or both of these other names. All three variations are correct and mean the same thing.
How did this happen?
In 2009, a law was passed by the parliament in Prague that allowed for their official short form to be changed from “The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic” (in English) to “Czechia.” This law was passed so that people would be able to more easily refer to their home country when talking about sports teams or other competitions taking place there.
On October 27th, Facebook was blocked in Pakistan for the second time in a year.
Pakistan’s government has blocked access to Facebook for the second time in a year, claiming that it is “in violation of local laws”. The block came into effect at around 10am local time on Thursday, with no prior warning. Internet users reported that they were unable to access the social network from within the country.
The move is thought to be part of a crackdown on blasphemy and pornography by the Pakistani government. Blasphemy is illegal under Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws and can result in life imprisonment or even death. The laws have been used to target religious minorities, including Shia Muslims and Ahmadis.
In September 2018, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan ordered an investigation into Facebook after being accused of spreading “blasphemous content” on his official page. He denied any wrongdoing and said he would only take down posts if they were found to be offensive.
The flag has been flying at half mast in the UK since the death of Queen Elizabeth II on April 21st.
The flag of the United Kingdom has been flying at half mast since April 21st, when Queen Elizabeth II passed away. The Union Jack is normally flown at full mast to signify that a member of the royal family is in residence at Buckingham Palace. As there is no longer a member of the royal family residing there, it is being flown at half mast. The last time this happened was in 1952 when King George VI died.
BJP lost the Karnataka elections and is now in a state of panic.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has lost the Karnataka Assembly Elections to the Congress. The BJP, which had been ruling the state for five years, will be relegated to the opposition. This is a huge setback for the BJP, which is still reeling from its defeat in Delhi and Chhattisgarh earlier this year. While it may not be a game-changer nationally, it’s definitely an important victory for the Congress and its president Rahul Gandhi.
The Karnataka election results were announced on May 15th, with Congress winning a simple majority with 99 seats. The BJP was reduced to 78 seats and was not able to form government on its own. It has been reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi personally called up party leaders who lost their seats in order to console them. The Prime Minister also said that he would like to congratulate Chief Minister-designate HD Kumaraswamy from the Congress party and B S Yeddyurappa from the BJP for their victories.
This is only one of several losses suffered by Modi’s party in recent months. In April this year, elections were held in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan as well as Madhya Pradesh last month. All three states have been won by the opposition Congress party with a majority of more than 50%.
Czechia is the official name of the Czech Republic.
Czechia is the official name of the Czech Republic, and it’s been used by locals for some time now. However, it wasn’t officially recognized by other countries until 2017, when Slovakia changed its name to Slovak Republic. The country was previously referred to as the Czechoslovak Republic, but that ended in 1993 after a vote by Parliament. That same year, Slovakia became an independent state and in 2017 it officially changed its name to Slovak Republic.
In April 2018, Czech President Milos Zeman asked Prime Minister Andrej Babis if he would support a change in legislation that would recognize Czechia as the official name of his country. Although Babis didn’t give an answer at the time (he said he wanted to consult with other members of his cabinet first), he eventually came out in favor of adopting Czechia as the country’s new name. In May 2018, members of Parliament voted on whether or not they agreed with Babis and adopted a bill that allowed them to use “Czechia” on all government communications.
The new legislation went into effect on September 1st 2018 and since then many companies have begun using Czechia instead of Czech Republic on their products. Some notable examples include First Capital Connect trains running between London and Luton Airport Parkway (which now display “To Prague/Prag/Praha”) and airline Ryanair which has begun using “Prague (Czechia)” instead of “Prague (Czech Rep.)”
