NOW that CNN anchor Chris Cuomo has been indefinitely suspended by the network it's a fine time to look back on his most ridiculous on-air moments with his brother Andrew. The broadcaster took the action after it emerged he tried to help brother Andrew during his sexual harassment scandal which forced him to resign as New York Governor.
GettyChris Cuomo, right, has been indefinitely suspended by CNN '/ ' According to new documents released this week, Chris Cuomo was in contact with one of his brother's top aides Melissa DeRosa and offered to help craft his defense against the shock claims. There's plenty to choose from but The Sun has picked out the crème de la crème. NASAL SWAB 
CNNThe brothers regularly joked around on-air together '/ ' Who can forget the then New York Governor 'joking' around on Chris' show in May last year as the Covid pandemic bit and the death toll in the state was rising. Andrew was the butt of his brother's jokes, who laughed that he had a big nose and required a baseball bat-sized nasal swab for a test.

I'm A Celeb fans rage as show only gets FIVE extra minutes after 3 days off air LITTLE MINX Leigh-Anne nearly bares all as she goes knickerless months after having twins EVERY LITTLE yelps Woman horrified after finding dress in Tesco with alarming Post-it note While the brothers were fooling around, Chris pulled out a cotton swab the size of a baseball bat, and teased Andrew: ...So then, in scale, this was the actual swab that was being used to fit up that double-barrel shotgun that you have mounted on the front of your pretty face?... The pair came under heavy fire for their light-hearted approach when the state had suffered more than 23,000 deaths from the virus. LOVE GOV Viewers cringed in March this year when footage re-emerged from April 2020 where Andrew Cuomo proclaimed himself "I am the Love Gov". The embarrassing clip resurfaced as Chris Cuomo told viewers on Monday night he ...obviously... couldn't cover the sexual harassment claims surrounding his older brother Andrew. ...I've always been a soft guy,... The Governor responded to a query from his brother about the moniker. ...I am the Love Gov. I'm a cool dude in a loose mood. You know that. I just say let it go. Just go with the flow baby.... The nauseating nickname somewhat foreshadowed the then recent allegations against him and highlighted his laid-back attitude to his position, two weeks after the Gov's controversial directive that sent Covid-positive patients into nursing homes. ...SINGLE AND READY TO MINGLE' 
APChris said Andrew, pictured, was ...single and ready to mingle' '/ ' Another cringe-worthy moment came in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic when the host of Cuomo Prime Time had his brother on the show for a light-hearted interview. ...Do you think you are an attractive person now because you're single and ready to mingle?... the CNN anchor asked. ...Do you think that you're some desirable single person and that this is not just people's pain coming out of them?... ...I think that beauty is in the eye of the beholder,... the governor replied. ...Listen to you, you got an answer for anything. You're feeling pretty good about yourself these days, aren't ya?... the anchor laughed. The interview was reportedly slammed by critics as the nursing home scandal began to haunt the governor. DREAM BALLET OUTFIT Chris joined his brother's press conference in April 2020 via a video link for a jaw-dropping exchange with New York being the epicentre of the Covid outbreak in the US at the time. After Andrew provided an update on the grim situation in the state the brothers fell into exchanging banter with one another. Chatting about how he had been affected by contracting the coronavirus, Chris revealed he had been hit by a fever and suffered hallucinations. "You came to me in a dream," the journalist told his brother. "You had on a very interesting ballet outfit, and you were dancing in the dream, and you were waving a wand and saying, 'I wish I could wave my wand and make this go away,' and then you spun around and danced away," Chris Cuomo said. Gov. Cuomo replied, "Obviously the fever has affected your mental capacity." 'BEST POLITICIAN' As the Covid pandemic continued to rage across the state in June 2020 the brothers linked up once again with the conversation turning to discuss their close familial bond. They discussed their parents upcoming anniversary and ...being spawned from the same wolfpack.... Chris continued, ...Obviously I love you as a brother, obviously I will never be objective, obviously I think you're the best politician in the country.... MOM'S FAVORITE? 
GettyThe Cuomo brothers even joked about which one their mom, Matilda, loved the most '/ ' The brotherly love banter popped up once more in March 2020 as Andrew continued with his daily press briefings about the coronavirus. This time the pair light-heartedly discuss which one their mom loved the most. "I know you're working hard for your state, but no matter how hard you're working, there's always time to call Mom," Chris told Andrew. Andrew had just called her, he replied. "The good news is she said you are her second-favorite son, Christopher." The next time, Andrew said he was only on air because "Mom told me I had to." Later on, he told Chris, "You're better than me." "Only on the basketball court," Chris replied. 'MY BEST FRIEND'

The New York Governor waxed lyrical about his brother saying he "does a beautiful job" and said he was "a sweet guy and my best friend" but was at the time quarantined in his basement. Between March 19 and June 24, 2020, the governor appeared on his brother's show a total of nine times. "I found these interviews to be very entertaining, and perhaps Chris could ask questions of his brother that other people can't," said Roy Gutterman, a media law professor at Syracuse University. "But from the very beginning, I thought it was wildly inappropriate. "It's Journalism 101," he said. "We tell our students you shouldn't interview your family and friends." "We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest," CNN said. "As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing his brother, and that rule remains in place today." We pay for your stories!

GettyNations are currently urging citizens \- such as this lady in Berlin \- to take up jabs amid a spike in cases '/ ' Currently, the UK, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Belgium are among those to have reported cases of the variant. European leaders have introduced fresh restrictions in a bid to keep the new strain at bay, with Christmas markets banned and flights suspended to several southern African countries. Countries such as Netherlands have announced a national lockdown in place for all citizens regardless of their jab status. And the most extreme measures have been announced by Austria, which has said it will bring in mandatory vaccination. European leaders now agree that such measures could be necessary to curb the spread of the virus. Speaking in Brussels, Von De Leyen decreed that it was ultimately up to each EU member state to decide their own vaccine rules, but admitted that it was her "personal opinion" that forcing jabs on the unvaccinated should now be on the table. ...We have one third of the population which is not vaccinated," she said at a press conference.

She added: ...I think it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion now, how we can encourage and potentially think about how we can have mandatory vaccination within the European Union. 
Read our Omicron variant live blog for the latest news ...This needs discussion, this needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think needs to be had.... LOW VAX RATES Shocking figures last week showed the slow rate of vaccination in Europe with cases reportedly rising in vast swathes across the continent's population who have yet to take up the jab. In Romania \- where bodies have been piling up outside morgues as infections soar – roughly 38 per cent of the population has received a single vaccine dose. Meanwhile, Bulgaria sits bottom of the vaccine pile where just one in four people have had a single jab \- compared to roughly 88 per cent in the UK. The continent has seen Covid cases soar and the World Health Organisation has warned the death toll could reach 700,000 this winter. France has now seen a fifth wave tearing through the country at "lightning speed" with the rate of infections up 80 per cent in recent weeks. The country has a relatively high rate of vaccination and at least 90 per cent of the population has received at least one dose. But officials in the likes of France and Germany have focused on those who have not been jabbed as the source of the current wave. This has included measures to tighten their current health passes amid fresh calls to go into lockdown. 
Figures correct of November 24, 2021 Meanwhile, scientists in the UK have reportedly been scrambling to learn more about Omicron and the potential effect it poses on the current vaccine. Health Secretary Savid Javid has looked to calm fears \- so far dismissing calls for a further lockdown as infections and hospitalisations are "nowhere near" the level required. At the weekend, he said people ...should continue with their plans for normal as Christmas... \- but warned it would be ...irresponsible... for him to guarantee there'll be no further restrictions in the future. Despite the global worry, South African doctors said new cases of the Omicron variant are resulting in mostly mild symptoms, with patients having flu-like symptoms, dry coughs, fever, night sweats, and body pains. Many agreed that the vaccinated are faring much better than the unvaccinated. But nations around the world have slammed their doors shut to in a bid to keep the new variant out. EU member states have closed their borders to travellers from seven southern African countries \- Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. In the UK, the government stopped short of a travel ban, but now require anyone who enters the UK to take a PCR test on the second day after arriving in the country, and contacts of suspected cases will be asked to self-isolate for 10 days. Taking no chances, Japan has reimposed border controls, Israel has decided to bar entry to foreigners, and Morocco said it would suspend all incoming flights for two weeks starting on Monday. The US is also banning travel from South Africa and seven other southern African countries starting on Monday. We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The Sun news desk?
