Over the last five years, more than 620,000 new trees have been planted in Prague within the city’s ambitious goal to plant one million trees by 2026. However the pace of planting is declining, so it is uncertain whether the plan will be fulfilled. Jana Komrsková, Prague's deputy mayor for environmental policy, says that if the metropolis were to meet its target, it would have to plant over 180,000 trees in each of the remaining two years. Experts say this is not very realistic. The aim is to help reduce the impact of global warming on the metropolis.

Kateřina Siniaková won her 28th doubles trophy at the Guangzhou Open in China on Sunday, partnering with Zhang Shuai to defeat Katarzyna Piter and Fanny Stollár 6:4, 6:1 in the final. Siniaková’s victory marks her fifth title this season, each with a different partner. She triumphed with Barbora Krejčíkova in Prague, Taylor Townsend at Wimbledon, Cora Gauff at Roland Garros and Storm Hunter in Dubai. She also bagged Olympic gold in the mix with Tomáš Macháč.

The police management does not consider the selected means of the police protest planned for November 4 to November 8 appropriate, although it backs the protest as such, police chief Martin Vondrášek told the ctk news agency. The Union of the Security Forces said this week that because officers are not allowed to strike, they would protest by not issuing fines and responding later than usual to calls where lives are not in danger.

The police has complained about a lack of money for operations and salaries. The force is currently short of nearly 2,400 police officers and 1,000 firefighters. Many members of the force are considering leaving.

The very last Czech Airlines (CSA) flight bearing the familiar brand OK landed at Prague Airport just before 11 pm on Saturday. The flight was fully-booked by aviation enthusiasts and former CSA employees who gave the pilot a hearty round of applause as the plane hit the tarmac. A crowd of onlookers watched its the arrival from the airport's observation deck. Many were checking flight progress data on their phones and jostling for position to take pictures.

From Sunday, CSA, which is one of the five oldest air carriers in the world, will become just another brand in the portfolio of the Smartwings group. In ticketing systems or on departure boards, flights will be marked with the QS code used by Smartwings. However, the OK brand name and the traditional colours of CSA will remain on the aircrafts that are in operation.

Czech Airlines was founded in 1923 as Czechoslovak State Airlines. In 2013, due to financial difficulties, Korean Air joined CSA, holding 44 percent of shares. In February 2018, Smartwings became the majority owner.
