NFL owners converged in New York on Monday for their quarterly meeting, where players' health and safety were expected to be among a wide variety of topics discussed.

The ministry was also working with state rail operator Deutsche Bahn - which had to halt all trains in northern Germany for several hours 10 days ago due to an attack on its communications network - to increase the number of cameras at its installations, she said. During today's engagement, the couple met with representatives from the centre who, through bucket collections and other donations after prayers, have raised over £25,000 for the Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal. In June 2017, the then-Real Madrid star surprised fans with the news he'd welcomed twins Eva and Mateo through a surrogate, and just one month later he and Georgina announced they were expecting their first child together. "Thanksgiving is synonymous with football and we're excited to give our fans another day of NFL action during this holiday weekend," NFL Media Chief Operating Officer Hans Schroeder said in a statement. The Prince and Princess also joined two pupils from Waldegrave School; Dila Kaya, 14, study edge group code Lina Alkutubi, 15, and their teacher Natasha Rustam to help make an origami crane, a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times. More broadly, the ministry is advising both public and private operators of critical infrastructure such as hospitals and telecommunication networks on how to better fend off attacks, be they physical or digital. BERLIN, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Germany has ordered police to guard LNG terminals under construction and increased aerial supervision of its rail network as it prepares a law to bolster the protection of critical infrastructure, its interior minister told Reuters. The NFL already has a stranglehold on Thanksgiving broadcasts, with its annual lineup of Thursday games as common as turkey on the table in households across the United States for the annual American holiday. As part of intensified efforts on that front, police were, for example, guarding the LNG terminals built to help Germany replace pipeline deliveries of Russian gas and would also accompany the LNG shipments, she said. Today, the couple heard harrowing stories with aid workers who have recently returned from the crisis zone in Turkey and described desperate scenes of rescuers trying to free trapped people with just hammers. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said there is a good chance the nation can 'ride out this Omicron wave' without having to bring in further Covid restrictions, but did not answer widespread calls to cut the isolation period for Covid patients from seven to five days. NEW YORK, Oct 18 (Reuters) - The National Football League (NFL) announced its first-ever "Black Friday" game will stream on Amazon Prime Video next year, building on the relationship between the league and the streaming giant. Some supermarkets could have to shut as the UK's self-isolation 'farce' continues to hit critical services with shelves emptying, trains cancelled, bin collections axed, council services slashed and up to 25 per cent of care home staff off work and one in ten NHS staff off sick. Minister Nancy Faeser said in an interview it was not possible to comprehensively protect all of the more than 33,000 kilometres of railways and millions of kilometers of cables in Germany with just cameras or police officers. Iceland boss Richard Walker is among some of Britain's business leaders calling for reduced isolation periods, having declared yesterday that absences at the frozen food supermarket skyrocketed more than 70 per cent in the past week as staff were plunged into isolation.

The PM's comments came amid a torrent of calls from business leaders and health experts alike to reduce the isolation period to avoid a 'lockdown by default' as industries across the nation face forced closures due to staff absences. Despite Omicron causing very little serious illness apart from among the unvaccinated, ministers are now considering bringing in the Army to keep services running, especially in the public sector.  And with cases still hitting 160,000 per day, and a 'tsunami' of infections predicted in January, the crisis is only going to get worse.
