It is thought to be the highest daily number, surpassing the previous record of 828 migrants on 21 August.

A record number of migrants have attempted to cross the English Channel today, according to witnesses.

It's thought at least 1,000 men, women and children were spotted making the journey from France to the UK.

The Home Office has put the figure at lower than that but cannot yet say whether the record was broken.

The owner of a Missouri restaurant that closed after allegedly not complying with county mask requirements said Saturday that the establishment is now a private club.

Amanda Wohletz, the owner, watched Jackson County officials close her restaurant, Rae's Café, Friday after the county deemed it was an imminent health hazard. But Wohletz said she found a way to keep her kitchen open. It now reportedly has a "no masks allowed" policy.

Wohletz allegedly violated the county's COVID-19 mask mandate by refusing to require masks in the restaurant.

You may have heard recently that Joe Rogan took "horse dewormer" to combat the 'rona. You may even believe that if you get your news from misinformation networks like CNN. What Rogan took was something called "ivermectin" as prescribed by his doctor. We'll get to why in a minute. But first, here is Rogan wondering if he has to sue CNN.

Do I have to sue CNN? They're making sh*t up. They keep saying I'm taking horse dewormer. I literally got it from a doctor. But CNN keeps saying I'm taking horse dewormer. They must know that that's a lie.

If I were to guess, yes. CNN does know it's a ... let's just call it an invalid truth. Ivermectin is a multifaceted drug of Nobel prize-honored distinction with indicated efficacy against C*VID-19. There is also a version of it that is concentrated on animals specifically. However, it is not approved by the CDC. It is also not the v*cc*ne, and the government only wants you to get shots and do nothing else. Since this is what the government wants, it's what CNN wants. Hence CNN repeating misinformation that Rogan took horse dewormer.

A coalition of police and firefighters are suing Gov. Kate Brown over her mandate requiring COVID-19 vaccination for state workers.

The lawsuit, filed in Jefferson County Circuit Court, says the plaintiffs are the Oregon Fraternal Order of Police along with troopers from around the state and firefighters at the Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base in Klamath County, KOIN-TV reported.

It names the governor and the state of Oregon as defendants.

The group is asking a judge to declare Brown's executive order "unenforceable," claiming it allegedly works against existing Oregon statutes and would result in wrongful termination of employees, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit comes after an Oregon trooper was placed on paid leave for posting an Instagram video declaring his intent to defy the state's vaccine mandate.

"I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States, to protect the freedom of the people who pay my salary," Zachary Kowing, 29, said in the video posted to Instagram last week. "I do not work for my governor but for them."

Coronavirus rules are set to be renewed for another six months as No 10 admitted cases are likely to increase sharply in England because children are returning to school.

Downing Street signalled its intention to renew the Coronavirus Act later this autumn, although some temporary powers may be allowed to expire.

"It would obviously be irresponsible to allow all temporary provisions to expire. These are provisions that would, if removed, take away the government's ability to protect renters from eviction, for example, or to give sick pay to those self-isolating from day one," Boris Johnson's spokesman said.

The Australian state of Victoria will "lock out" unvaccinated people from participating in the economy, Premier Dan Andrews has announced.

Victoria is currently under draconian lockdown restrictions, with residents of Melbourne - who make up the vast majority of the state's population - living under a 9pm to 5am curfew, forbidden from leaving their homes except to work, buy groceries, or get a Covid-19 vaccination. When the lockdown is lifted, Premier Dan Andrews said on Sunday, future restrictions will apply only to those who are unvaccinated.

"There is going to be a vaccinated economy, and you get to participate in that if you are vaccinated. We're going to move to a situation where, to protect the health system, we are going to lock out people who are not vaccinated and can be.

"If you're making the choice not to get vaccinated, then you're making the wrong choice."

Tripwire, a video game development company, announced on Monday that its CEO Josh Gibson "stepped down" due to his pro-life comments on a personal Twitter account. Tripwire statement said:

"The comments given by John Gibson are of his own opinion, and do not reflect those of Tripwire Interactive as a company. His comments disregarded the values of our whole team, our partners and much of our broader community. Our leadership team at Tripwire are deeply sorry and are unified in our commitment to take swift action and to foster a more positive environment."

Shortly after Texas' newest pro-life law went into effect on Sept. 1, the CEO tweeted his support of the U.S. Supreme Court for declining to block the law. Gibson wrote on Sept. 4 from his personal account:

After months of legal battles, Pastor John MacArthur's Grace Community Church of Sun Valley has settled with the City of Los Angeles and the State of California for $800,000.

When the health authority mandated lockdowns of churches in the spring of 2020, MacArthur and his church complied. He acknowledged that at the outset of the pandemic the projections of high death tolls warranted a response and that it was "enough to make anybody with common sense" act carefully.

After being closed for a time, the church resumed with in-person worship services. After streaming online services for a number of weeks, MacArthur said that people started showing up again.

As the church openly defied imposed mandates, MacArthur was threatened with jail time for his actions.

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) once again called for the end of the filibuster Sunday, this time implying that it would be the solution to so many policy problems, including the recent dispute over abortions in Texas.

Speaking to CNN State Of The Union host Dana Bash, Klobuchar hammered the Texas "heartbeat" law, which bans most abortions at around six weeks and empowers private parties to sue those who "aid and abet" illegal abortion procedures, and suggested that the solution to stopping the law and similar laws was to enshrine Roe v Wade at the congressional level.

Klobuchar said:

"My solution to this — which is my solution for voting rights and so many other things, including climate change, where one side of the country is in flames and the other side of the country is flooded with people dying submerged in their cars — I believe we should abolish the filibuster."

She derided the filibuster, which allows for the Senate to require 60 votes to pass bills, as an "archaic rule" that prevents them from "taking action" on important issues. Notably, Klobuchar is one of a number of Senate Democrats who have embraced making changes to the filibuster or outright eliminating it.

"The challenges that are facing our country right now — now and over the next years — we just will get nowhere if we keep this filibuster in place."
