WELLINGTON – Australia's economy grew by 3.3% in the third quarter, rebounding from its first recession in nearly three decades as it recovered from pandemic-related shocks, according to figures released Wednesday.Treasurer Josh Frydenberg told reporters the country still has a lot of ground to make up from the coronavirus downturn.“Australia’s recession may be over, but Australia’s economic recovery is not,” he said.Despite the latest quarterly rise, the economy contracted at a 3.8% annual pace.

That's after GDP fell by 0.3% in the first quarter and then by a record 7% in the second quarter.“But the Australian economy has demonstrated its remarkable resilience and Australia is as well positioned as any other nation on Earth," Frydenberg.

Growing old with HIV: Challenges and opportunities

Once this has happened, the risk of the virus transmitting to other people is significantly lower. The treatment’s effectiveness also means that people with HIV can expect to live long, healthy lives. As a result, increasing numbers of people with HIV have been surviving into middle and older age. In 2018, 51% of all people with a diagnosis of HIV living in the United States and its dependent areas were aged 50 years and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Out of 37,881 people who received a diagnosis of HIV that year, the CDC note, 1 in 6 were in this age group.

Pressure mounts on Hungary, Poland to unlock EU stimulus

BRUSSELS – Germany's Europe minister said Tuesday that further delaying the European Union's landmark 1.82 trillion-euro ($2.21 trillion) long-term budget and coronavirus recovery package would be “irresponsible" as diplomats envisage a solution without Poland and Hungary, the two EU states holding up the measure.Speaking ahead of a video conference of European affairs ministers, Michael Roth said the stimulus is crucial for many European countries whose economies have been devastated by the pandemic. But Poland and Hungary, who agreed on the deal in July, are now vetoing the package because of a mechanism that would allow the EU to cut off funds to countries that violate the bloc's democratic standards.
