2020–2021 women's strike protests in Poland, Relations with the Catholic Church, Profanity and graffiti
The protests included slogans with widespread use of the profanities "fuck" (Polish: jebać), and "fuck off" (Polish: wypierdalać), opposing the Catholic Church, holding up banners in churches, painting of graffiti on church and cathedral walls throughout the country, described as the "vandali[sing]" of churches by The New York Times (NYT), and disrupting Masses. NYT described the protests as breaking a "longstanding taboo against challenging the [Catholic] church". The Church itself has called for "respect for churches".


2020–2021 women's strike protests in Poland, Relations with the Catholic Church, Apostasy
During the October protests, enquiries regarding the procedure for apostasy (deregistering from the Polish Catholic Church), which requires a personal visit to a parish priest increased in popularity. Web search engine queries showed high frequencies for "apostasy" (Polish: apostazja) and "how to apostatize" (Polish: jak dokonać apostazji). A Facebook event titled "Quit the church at [Christmas]" was followed by 10,000 people. National Geographic published a guide to the apostasy procedure and commented on the rapidly growing interest in apostasy in Poland.

A spokesperson for Episcopal Conference of Poland (Episcopate), Paweł Rytel-Andrianik, described the 2016 Episcopate decree as a "decree on apostasy" that also allows returning to Church membership. Jacek Tabisz of the Polish Rationalists Association described the 2016 decree as easing the procedure since the previous procedure had required two witnesses. The Polish Rationalists Association had often been asked for help in finding witnesses.

Agitators identifying themselves with white armbands attacked protesters in the 30 October Warsaw protest. Former Minister and member of parliament Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz attempted to defend some of the protesters; he was pepper-sprayed at a distance of about 1.5 metres in his face by one of the fighters. Sienkiewicz described the fighters, who he described as neo-Nazis (Polish: naziole), being armed with batons and knives. Police were absent from the Rondo de Gaulle'a (roundabout) where the attack occurred. Sienkiewicz attributed encouragement of the fighters to Jarosław Kaczyński. Police later detained some of the fighters who attacked the protesters and published photos of some of the fighters' weapons.

2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
On January 3, 2020, WTI finished up 2.2 percent for the week at $63.05, the highest since May, after U.S. air strikes in Iraq, with Brent up 2.6 percent for the week at $68.60. Then oil fell for five straight days before rising again; the U.S. "backed away from military confrontation" with Iran, and stockpiles were higher. WTI fell 6.4 percent for the week, the most since July, and on January 13 had its lowest close since December 3 at $58.08. Brent fell 5.3 percent, the most since August, and then reached its lowest close since December 12 with $64.20.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
On February 10, oil reached its lowest level in over a year, with the COVID-19 pandemic a major reason. WTI fell 1.5 percent to $49.57, the lowest since January 2019, and Brent dropped 2.2 percent to $53.27, the lowest since December 2018. Russia had not agreed to further production cuts, though OPEC had a plan. Despite a forecast for lower demand, expectations of OPEC action led to three days of gains, with WTI reaching $51.42 and Brent $56.34.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
WTI ended February 28 down more than 16 percent for the week, the most in 11 years, falling 5 percent to $44.76 on February 28. Brent closed at $50.52. Both were the lowest since December 2018. Warmer than usual weather was one reason but the major factor was concerns about economic slowdown due to COVID-19.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
During the 2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war, on March 8 oil fell over 30 percent. WTI reached $31.13, down 24.6 percent, with Brent $34.36, down 24.1 percent. Both were the lowest since 2016 and the one-day decline was the largest since 1991. On a week when oil fell the most since 2014, Russia rejected plans by OPEC and others to help calm the oil market, and Saudi Arabia was expected to increase production.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
With worldwide demand continuing to decline due to COVID-19, oil fell for a fifth straight week at the end of March and any actions taken by Saudi Arabia or Russia would be inconsequential. During the last full week of March WTI fell about 5 percent to end at $21.51, with Brent down 7.6 percent for the week to $24.93. The price of Canadian heavy crude dipped below $5 per barrel.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
In the first quarter, the percentage loss was the worst ever, 66.5 percent for WTI and 65.6 percent for Brent. Then on April 2, WTI jumped 24.7 percent to $25.32 and Brent rose 21 percent to $29.94, the biggest percentage increase in a single day ever, in anticipation of significant production cuts. OPEC agreed to production cuts on April 12; these would be greater in 2020 than in future years. U.S. crude supplies had risen for 12 weeks, including the largest increase for a week as of April 10.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
On April 14, the difference between the front month contract and contracts for later delivery were the most since 2009 for WTI, which traded $14.45 below the September contract. On April 17, May WTI was $18.27 but June WTI was $28.08. For Brent, the June contract was $28.08 while October was $35.95. The difference between the two was less because Brent did not require as much storage capacity. On April 20, the front month contract for WTI fell below zero, an unprecedented event. With the contract for May delivery expiring on April 21, the contract for June delivery became the new front month contract; on April 22 after settling at $13.78, WTI was the lowest since the 1990s.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
On May 6 WTI fell after five days of increases, settling at $23.99 a day after a 20 percent jump to the highest close since April 17 with expectations of higher demand as countries around the world eased restrictions. Brent finished at $29.72 a day after a 14 percent jump. U.S. crude inventories were up for the 15th week, but by less than expected.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
On May 21, WTI settled at $33.92 and Brent at $36.06, both the highest since March 10. U.S. crude supplies were down for the second week, and OPEC production was down. Positive economic news from Europe and the United States also contributed, although possible tensions with China limited gains.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
WTI fell more than 8 percent on June 11, the most since April 27, and ended the week at $36.26 with its first down week in seven weeks. WTI and Brent both ended the week down over 8 percent. OPEC production cuts could not overcome COVID-19 concerns. For the week ending June 19, WTI climbed nearly 10 percent to $39.75 as OPEC made sure countries were complying with goals for output decreases.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
WTI fell nearly 6 percent June 24 then rose slightly the next day to close at $38.72, while Brent fell more than 5 percent and rose slightly to $41.05, in a week where both have fallen nearly 3 percent. Some U.S. states were delaying reopening, and others were going back to lockdowns. Also, U.S. supplies climbed for the third week while U.S. crude production was down 20 percent since early March. OPEC nations were continuing their production cuts. A negative forecast for the world economy also affected oil prices.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
On July 15, after the largest drop in U.S. crude supplies of the year, WTI reached $41.20 and Brent $43.79, the highest since March 6 for both. That same day, OPEC and others said they planned to decrease production cuts in August but FXTM analyst Lukman Otunuga said it might not be the time for that given the chances of more COVID-19 related lockdowns or problems with the world economy.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
The first week of August ended with WTI up 2.4 percent to $41.22 and Brent up 2 percent to $44.40. Production cuts took effect on August 1 but U.S. president Trump signed executive orders which added to tensions with China and helped drive prices down.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
In the third week of August Brent fell 1 percent to $44.35, while WTI ended the week at $42.34 after the number of U.S. oil rigs rose after falling for three weeks. COVID-19 concerns have led to expectations of lower demand.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
Low demand for oil in the U.S., lower U.S. unemployment, a strong U.S. dollar and losses in the stock market contributed to WTI falling nearly 4 percent on September 4 to $39.77, the first time below $40 since July. WTI ended the week down 7.5 percent after four up weeks, and Brent finished the week at $42.66, down nearly 7 percent. Demand for gasoline had recovered more quickly than demand for other petroleum products, and Michael Tran of RBC Capital said supplies fell at a "manic pace" over two months. Other products still had high inventories.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
Bad news about U.S. unemployment, a strong dollar, lower expected demand, and higher U.S. crude supplies contributed to the second down week for WTI, which fell 6.1 percent to $37.33. Brent fell 6.6 percent for the week to $39.83. This was the first time oil fell for two straight weeks since April.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
For the week ending September 25, oil fell for the third time in four weeks due to COVID-19 concerns, fear that the U.S. recovery would slow down, and a higher U.S. dollar. WTI ended at $40.25, down 2.6 percent, and Brent was down 2.9 percent, with the most active contract ending at $42.41.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
As a result of U.S. President Donald Trump being diagnosed with COVID-19, WTI fell 4.3 percent on October 2 to finish the week down 8 percent at $37.05, the lowest since September 8. Brent dropped 4.1 percent and 7.4 percent for the week to $39.27, the lowest since June 12. Continued concerns about the pandemic reducing demand also contributed even as U.S. supplies fell. An increase in U.S. inventories and an end to negotiations on COVID-19 relief in the U.S. contributed to another drop on October 7, with WTI down to $39.95 and Brent at $41.51. Increased imports from China helped oil rise by 2 percent on October 13, and expected production cuts by OPEC and allies led to a continued rise on October 14 to $41.04 for WTI and $43.32 for Brent. COVID-19 cases and high inventories, however, made the trend unlikely to continue.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
Restrictions in Europe due to COVID-19 and expected delays for production cuts by OPEC and allies caused oil to rise November 2 for the first time in four trading days. WTI jumped from $33.64 to $36.81 and Brent rose from $35.74 to $38.97.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
WTI and Brent both reached their highest settlements since September on November 18, with WTI at $41.82 and Brent at $44.34. One major factor was good news about COVID-19 vaccines. U.S. crude inventories rose more than expected, and uncertainty about OPEC and COVID-19 lockdowns contributed to lower prices the next day. Just before Thanksgiving, gas was $2.11, the lowest at that time of year since 2016 and 49 cents lower than a year earlier.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
OPEC predicted lower demand on December 14, partly as a result of COVID-19 restrictions in Europe and the United States, and the IEA did the same on December 15. However, demand appeared likely to rise in China, and a pandemic relief package appeared more likely in the United States, while COVID-19 vaccines became available. WTI ended December 15 at $47.62, the highest since February, and Brent reached $50.76, the highest since March.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2020
WTI ended 2020 at $48.52, down 20.5 percent in its second down year in three years but up 7 percent for the month and more than 20 percent for the quarter. Brent finished at $51.80, down 21.5 percent for the year but up 8.9 percent for December and 26.5 percent for the quarter. A weak dollar and lower than expected U.S. inventories kept oil high.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
After Saudi Arabia promised further production cuts, WTI reached $51.28 on January 7 and Brent climbed as high as $54.90, the highest since before COVID-19. On January 14, a weaker dollar and an expected COVID-19 relief package helped oil move slightly higher, with WTI at $53.57 and Brent at $56.42, though Europe was experiencing more lockdowns and China had a higher number of COVID-19 cases, both making lower demand likely.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
WTI finished the first week of February up 8.9 percent to $56.85 and Brent was up 7.8 percent to $59.34, the highest since January 2020 for both. COVID-19 vaccines were a big reason for positive economic news, though analyst Eugen Weinberg of Commerzbank believed optimism was too high.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
On February 16, WTI closed above $60 for the first time since January 2020, with reasons that included Saudi Arabia production cuts, increased vaccine distribution, and the closing of refineries and production cuts resulting from the 2021 Texas power crisis. The Texas situation resulted in contango for WTI for the first time in seven months, meaning futures with earlier dates had lower prices. On February 23, Brent reached $65.37, the highest since January 2020.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
After OPEC and others agreed to continue production cuts into April, WTI finished March 4 at $63.83, the highest since April 2019. Brent reached $66.74. Prices were increasing despite high U.S. crude supplies, though the cold weather continued to affect gasoline and distillate.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
The third week of March ended with the largest loss for a week since October, with COVID-19 increases in Europe a big reason. WTI had fallen as low as $58.94 in a week where it fell 6,4 percent and lost 7.1 percent in one day. Brent finished the week at $64.53, down 6.8 percent for the week one day after falling 6.9 percent, the most in a day since June. Prices recovered March 19 only because of attacks on Yemen.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
On March 24, after a significant decline the previous day due to COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe, the 2021 Suez Canal obstruction caused prices to recover. The news of the fifth straight week of increases in U.S. crude inventory had little effect.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
WTI and Brent ended March down nearly 4 percent. With the April 1 announcement that OPEC and other nations would increase production, WTI rose 3.9 percent to close at $61.45 and Brent increased 3.4 percent to $64.86.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
Oil reached its highest level since March 17 on April 14, with WTI at $63.15 and Brent at $66.58 as U.S. crude inventories fell and OPEC forecast higher demand and more economic growth. Optimism about the end of the pandemic was a factor. Positive economic news in the U.S. contributed to an increase in the price of oil for April, with WTI ending the month at $63.58, up 2.3 percent for the week and 7.5 percent for the month, while Brent finished at $67.25, up 1.7 percent and 5.8 percent. OPEC production increases and continued optimism about the worldwide economy offset news of increases in COVID-19 cases in India.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
A positive demand forecast for China and the United States, along with lower U.S. crude inventories, led to the highest settlement for WTI since March, at $66.08, and Brent, at $69.32.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
With continued good economic news in the U.S. as well as lower supplies, WTI had five straight gains ending May 27, with the highest settlement since October 2018, and ended the week and the month up 4.3 percent to $66.32. Brent finished May at $69.63, the highest since March 11, up 4.8 percent for the week and 3.5 percent for the month. The price of gas was $3.03, the highest for Memorial Day since 2014.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
Although countries increased oil production in May, demand forecasts were high and on June 8 WTI closed above $70, with Brent at $72.22, the highest since May 2019. On June 25 WTI ended the week at $74.05, up 3.9 percent for the week, the fifth week in a row with an increase. Brent ended at $75.38 the highest since October 2018. All of this happened despite OPEC and allies considering production increases, because of very postitive demand forecasts during a worldwide recovery. The difference between WTI and Brent narrowed due to stronger demand in the United States.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
While OPEC and allies were expected to reach a deal, they had not by July 2. WTI finished the week at $75.16, up 1.5 percent for the week, with Brent at $76.17, up 1.1 percent. After the July 4 holiday, WTI briefly climbed to its highest price in six years before falling 2.4 percent to $73.37, while Brent fell 3.4 percent to $74.53. Some members of the cartel were expected to produce more than others, and the group cancelled its planned July 4 meeting. Gas was $3.12, the most in seven years and 44 percent higher than a year earlier.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
On July 18 OPEC and allies agreed to increase production. The next day WTI fell 7.5 percent for its biggest one-day loss since September and reached the lowest close since May at $66.42, after the biggest loss for a week since March, a 3.7 percent drop. Brent fell nearly 7 percent to $68.62.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
On August 9, oil fell more than 2 percent, continuing losses from the previous week, as COVID-19 restrictions in China and other parts of Asia threatened to slow demand. WTI reached its lowest level since May before recovering to $66.48, still the lowest in 3 weeks, while Brent fell to $69.04.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
After seven days of losses, the most since 2019, oil jumped 6 percent on August 23, with WTI at $65.64 after a 9 percent decline the previous week and its lowest close since May 20. Brent finished at $68.65. Both had their worst week since October, with concern over the Delta variant, increased U.S. production, and negative economic news from China. Over the next three days, the increase in oil prices erased the previous week's losses. WTI climbed to $68.36 and Brent to $72.25 on August 25. Fuel demand in the U.S. was the highest since before the pandemic, U.S. crude inventories were the lowest since January 2020, and China reported fewer new COVID-19 cases.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
For the week ending September 3, WTI rose slightly to $69.29 and Brent finished at $72.61. Losses due to negative economic news related to the Delta variant were cancelled out by Hurricane Ida stopping Gulf of Mexico oil production.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
A strong dollar, Saudi Arabia price cuts and expected lower demand contributed to a 1.4 percent drop to $68.35 for WTI on September 7, However, with three-fourths of Gulf of Mexico production still not resumed, WTI finished the week at $69.72 and Brent at $72.92, both climbing 2.3 percent on September 10. Also contributing to an up week was a telephone call between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, a sign expected to mean more trade. The previous day oil fell 1 percent when China announced the release of reserves.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
The week ending September 24 was the fifth week of increases for WTI, ending at $73.98, and the third for Brent, which closed at $78.09, the highest since October 2018. Supply disruptions included Hurricane Ida and problems with OPEC and associated countries.


2020–2022 world oil market chronology, 2021
On October 8, at the end of its seventh straight up week, the longest streak since 2013, WTI reached $80 a barrel for the first time since 2014. Brent finished the day at $83.32 after reaching a three-year high earlier in the week. Despite higher U.S. crude inventories, global supply remained tight even though OPEC and others agreed to a small production increase earlier in the week; Reuters was told the reason for not increasing production more was a possible increase in COVID-19 infections that could hurt demand. The United States Department of Energy declined to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Gas was $3.26.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League
The 2020–23 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League is the ongoing inaugural edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, a One Day International (ODI) league. The league is taking place from July 2020 to March 2023, and serves as part of the 2023 Cricket World Cup qualification process.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League
It features thirteen teams, the twelve Full Members of the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Netherlands, who won the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship to qualify for this competition. Each team will play an ODI series against eight of the other twelve teams, four series at home and four away. Each series consists of three ODIs.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the start of the league, with several series of matches being postponed. In April 2020, following a Chief Executives' meeting, the ICC announced that it would look at the future of the league at a later date, once there is a better understanding of the impact of the pandemic on cricket. The series between England and Ireland, starting 30 July 2020, were the first matches of the league.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League
Following a trial that started in December 2019, the ICC announced the use of technology to monitor front-foot no-balls for all matches in the Super League. The third umpire called the front-foot no-balls, communicating this with the on-field umpires.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Teams and qualification pathway
For the World Cup, the hosts (India), and the top seven sides thereafter, will qualify automatically. The remaining five teams will play in a qualifying event—the 2022 Cricket World Cup Qualifier—along with five Associate sides, from which two sides will go through to the World Cup.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Teams and qualification pathway
The top twelve teams in this Super League remain in the Super League for the next World Cup cycle. The 13th ranked team in this Super League and the champions of the 2019–22 ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 will take part in World Cup Qualifier, where the better team will take the 13th spot in the next Super League while the team ranked lower will play in the next League 2.


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Format
The tournament is a partial round-robin league and will be played over two years. Each team will play eight other opponents, four at home and four away, in series consisting of three ODI matches. This means that a given team will not face all other opponents in their group, but all teams will play the same number of matches ( i.e., 12 matches at home and 12 matches away).


2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Schedule
The match schedule was announced by the ICC on 20 June 2018 as part of the 2018–23 ICC Future Tours Programme.

2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, Schedule, COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic began before the start of the league, which was originally scheduled for May 2020 to March 2022, and resulted in no international cricket being played from March to July 2020. All Super League fixtures scheduled for 2020 were postponed or rescheduled with considerations for pandemic-related restrictions. Fixtures after also had to be reconsidered to account for the disruptions to the schedule.

2020–21 2. Bundesliga, Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
The season was originally scheduled to open on 31 July 2020 and end on 16 May 2021. As the pre-season operation was suspended for several weeks between 11 March and 16 May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the international club competitions of the same season did not end until August 2020, a postponement of the start of the season became necessary. The DFB and the DFL, in consultation with FIFA, also adapted the summer transfer period (in principle 1 July to 31 August). The transfer window was open on 1 July (change period I.1) and from 15 July to 5 October 2020 (change period I.2). The first one-day phase was planned, in particular for the registration of contracts already concluded, starting on 1 July.


2020–21 2. Bundesliga, Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

The use of five substitutes, based on the decision of competition organisers, had been extended by IFAB until 2021.


2020–21 2. Bundesliga, Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
On 15 September 2020, three days before the opening of the new season, the premiers and representatives of the league agreed on a concept that would allow a spectator count of 20 percent of the stadium capacity by the end of October. In the end, 13 of 54 matches had to be played in the first six days of the season, but on average only 1,900 spectators were allowed into the stadiums until then. Following a decision by the Prime Ministers on 29 October, a general exclusion of spectators was finally ordered at least for match days 7 to 9. The background was the shutdown, which was initially only valid for November nationwide, but did not include the general operation of the two Bundesligen.


2020–21 2. Bundesliga, Teams, Stadiums and locations

To get back to the desired strength of 14 teams and a single-league, there will be six relegated teams: the last three in the ten-team division and last two teams from the nine-team division. The last team will be determined between the teams who finished seventh in each division. Before the season, BV Cloppenburg withdrew its women's team from the 2. Bundesliga after bankruptcy and was thus relegated, reducing the league to 18 teams. On 3 November 2020, the league was paused.
