Vietnam began vaccinating hundreds of thousands of factory workers in its industrialised north on Thursday to combat its largest Covid-19 outbreak so far, days after the country reported a daily record in new cases.

The communist country has been widely applauded for its aggressive pandemic response -- with mass quarantines and strict contact tracing helping keep infection rates low -- but clusters have now been reported in around half of its provinces and cities.
Among the hardest hit are northern Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces, home to major factories including plants operated by South Korean tech giant Samsung.
-Around 240,000 workers in Bac Ninh and Bac Giang provinces will be vaccinated- the Ministry of Health said on its website, adding that several hundred were given jabs on Thursday.
By late April, Vietnam had recorded under 3,000 cases of Covid-19, but the figure has more than doubled since then. 
Tuesday saw a daily record of 441 new cases.
A further cluster was detected in the country's business hub Ho Chi Minh City Wednesday, with more than 30 cases discovered in the community.
Cafes, restaurants, hair salons and massage parlours have been closed in the city, as well as in the capital Hanoi.
Vietnam -- a country of 90 million people -- has vaccinated a little over a million of its citizens but it is now racing to step up inoculation.
It now has close to two million doses of AstraZeneca's vaccine remaining, while it has agreed a deal to purchase more than 30 million doses of the Pfizer shot.
The country is also in talks with Russia to produce Sputnik V, according to state media, and is working on a home-grown vaccine.

At least 21 irregular migrants were rescued Thursday in waters off the coast of Dikili district in Turkey's Aegean province of Izmir, according to coast guard sources.

The migrants were found drifting in a rubber boat after being pushed back by Greek forces in the Aegean Sea, the sources said.
They were brought ashore and later referred to the provincial migration directorate.
Turkey has been a main route for irregular migrants trying to cross into Europe, especially since 2011, when the Syrian civil war began.
More than 265,000 irregular migrants were held in Turkey in 2018, according to the Interior Ministry.

Valentin Inzko, now a former High Representative in B&amp;H, confirmed to "Avaz" the information that he resigned from this position, concluding with August 1st.
He told us:
- And I'm so glad, Good news for Bosnia.
Today in Sarajevo, the Ambassadors of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC SB) formally appointed Christian Schmidt as the next High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, following his candidature put forward by Germany, the OHR stated in press release.

Today in Sarajevo, the Ambassadors of the member states of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council appointed Christian Schmidt as new High Representative

Inzko for "Avaz": I resigned, Good news for Bosnia!

The education of Sebija Izetbegović, director of the Clinical Center of the University of Sarajevo (KCUS) and the wife of Bakir Izetbegović, the leader of SDA, is still the main topic in our country, but also in the region.
Numerous controversies regarding Sebija's academic education are coming to light every day, primarily in Zagreb, which was emphasized yesterday in an interview for "Avaz" by academician Prof. dr. Asim Kurjak.

Kurjak made it clear that he had never been Sebija's mentor for her doctoral thesis, nor that she was a student and resident at the Medical Faculty in Zagreb, which she had claimed years earlier.
Although the media and internet bots close to Izetbegović family are trying in every way to "save" Sebija, the documents deny her allegations about what she did in Zagreb.

After she was exposed, the director of KCUS tried to repair the damage in an interview with N1 the day before yesterday, but she became even more entangled in her own web of lies, and a number of open questions remains as to where and when she passed the ten postgraduate exams.
- I did not do my specialization in Zagreb. Part of my stay in Zagreb was the proposal of Professor Šimić, that the time I was spending in Zagreb due to illness - whenever I feel good - I can spend it studying at the Clinic - said Izetbegović the day before yesterday, justifying that she did not specialize in Zagreb.
However, her official biography, which she personally typed in June 1996, states the opposite.

In her biography, Izetbegović clearly stated: “During my specialization, I spent a year at the „Sveti Duh“ Clinic in Zagreb, where I completed my postgraduate studies for foreigners in English Ulta Sond in Cinclao Medisin. In Zagreb, I also attended the Ian McDonald seminar for the clinical application of ultrasound. ”


However, nowhere is stated exactly where she passed ten of the 14 postgraduate exams. Also, it was unequivocally established that she had never been registered as a postgraduate student or resident in the "Sveti duh" Clinic.

Furthermore, her academic role in Turkey is shrouded in secrecy.
In August 1994, Sebija Izetbegović sent an application to the Council for Scientific Research and Postgraduate Studies of the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo for recognition of exams, ie to be allowed to take the remaining four exams out of a total of 14.
The content of that request puts a serious temptation before the police and judicial agencies in B&amp;H, and it pushes Sebija Izetbegović towards the investigation and the possible indictment and, finally, imprisonment.
Because the director of KCUS must explain where and at which faculty and clinic she passed ten postgraduate exams, who in Sarajevo enabled such exams to be recognized at the local Faculty of Medicine, and where is the student booklet she submitted with the application and which exams are in question.

<h2>The certificate was issued and signed by Dean Mulabegović</h2>

The question is also where is the special booklet where the exercises are entered during the duration of schooling and how the then dean of the Medical Faculty in Sarajevo, Prof. dr. Nedžad Mulabegović and on the basis of which documentation he issued a certificate that Sebija Izetbegović passed all exams at the postgraduate study.
This certificate was issued on June 5th, 1996.

The request she sent to the Council for Scientific Research is also disputable, but also who and why issued her a certificate that states she passed all the exams

Facsimile of request sent by Sebija to the Council for Scientific Research and Postgraduate Studies in which she claims that she has passed ten exams and requests that she is allowed to take the remaining four exams

What official biography and documents reveal: A paper which is pushing Sebija to court?

Today in Sarajevo, the Ambassadors of the Steering Board of the Peace Implementation Council (PIC SB) formally appointed Christian Schmidt as the next High Representative in Bosnia and Herzegovina, following his candidature put forward by Germany. 
The PIC SB looks forward to working with Mr. Schmidt when he takes up his duties as the High Representative on 1st August 2021 upon which Mr. Inzko’s resignation will become effective. The PIC SB thanks Germany for its initiative and is confident that Mr. Schmidt will accelerate the completion of the 5+2 agenda and contribute to the stability in BiH by ensuring consistent implementation of the civilian aspects of the GFAP. The PIC SB decision is also a further underlining of the commitment to the territorial integrity of BiH. 
The OHR will now inform the United Nations Secretary-General of the PIC SB’s decision. 
The PIC SB expressed its appreciation to Ambassador Valentin Inzko for his longstanding extraordinary commitment and tremendous contribution to implementation of the Dayton Peace Agreement and security and stability in BiH for the past 12 years. The Russian Federation did not agree with this decision.

The House of Representatives of the Federation B&amp;H Parliament with 63 votes in favor, three against and two abstentions adopted the proposed Law on control and limited use of tobacco, tobacco products and other smoking products, which provides for a ban on smoking in all closed public spaces, public gatherings, workplaces and in public transport, and private cars if there are minors in them.
 
In order for it to enter into force, it needs to be approved by the House of Peoples of the FB&amp;H Parliament.
FB&amp;H Assistant Minister of Health Snježana Bodnaruk pointed out that the law is the basis for the systematic protection of public health and should reduce the cost of health care because significant funds are allocated for the treatment of diseases caused by smoking.
-The law was drafted in accordance with the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control of the World Health Organization and Directive 2014/40 / EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 on the harmonization of laws and regulations of Member States on the production, presentation and sale of tobacco and related products- underlined Bodnaruk.
The law, she says, gives a period of 18 months for the application of the law, i.e. harmonization with the provisions.
The fines will not be applied in that period, and they are prescribed in the amount of 2,000 to 5,000 KM if the cafe or restaurant does not comply with the provisions of the law banning smoking.
The FB&amp;H coordinator for tobacco control, Aida Ramić-Čatak, emphasized that eight million people die every year as a result of smoking.

Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, director of the Intelligence and Security Agency (ISA) of B&amp;H, according to the data of the Federal Institute for Pension and Disability Insurance (PIO / MIO), which were forwarded to the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, is officially a pensioner.

According to the Pension and Disability Insurance Institute, Mehmedagić had to retire four months ago because it was determined that he had completed 40 years, four months and 26 days of work experience (including benefited work experience), officially registered with the Federal Institute (PIO / MIO) concluding with yesterday.

The Law on Work in the Institutions of B&amp;H specified that the employment, according to the force of law, ends when the employee completes 40 years of insurance experience, regardless of age.
"Avaz" published this information on May 11th. At the request of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, the Pension and Disability Insurance Institute forwarded them complete documentation, which confirmed that Bakir's Osmica was performing the duty of the head of the secret service as a pensioner.

He has been doing that for months and he is regularly receiving a salary of more than 5,000 KM, and in that way he is gaining illegal property. For these four months, he illegally earned 20,000 KM.

Mehmedagić and his deputy Trifko Buha hid this information from the public, which is why the Prosecution, after the discovery of "Avaz", initiated checks and started hearing witnesses.

Vesna Mlinarević and Bruna Jurić, heads of the ISA, were questioned in the Prosecutor's Office yesterday. Mlinarević is the director of the ISASupport Directorate. She stayed in this judicial institution for almost an hour, but, according to the information that we have, her service did not have information about Osmica's retirement, because this was obviously hidden from the employees as well.

<h2>What data does the Cantonal Pension and Disability Insurance Institute have?</h2>

It is interesting that the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H also received data on Mehmedagić's length of service from the Cantonal Pension and Disability Insurance Institute in Sarajevo. However, according to these data, Osmica has 39 years and 4 months of experience and this does not match the data from the Federal Pension and Disability Insurance Institute, which, according to the law, is the most relevant.

Mehmedagić and Buha hid the data, but what did the Prosecution witnesses reveal?

Mehmedagić: Going from one affair to another

The Pension and Disability Insurance Institute submitted data: Osmica had to retire four months ago

Today, the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina definitely acquitted the director of ISA B&amp;H, <a href="https://avaz.ba/pretraga?query=osman%20Mehmedagi%C4%87&amp;">Osman Mehmedagić</a>, aka Osmica, of charges of abuse of office and authority. The head of the Court of B&amp;H, as it is already known, is Ranko Debevec, who is a friend of the multiple suspect Osman Mehmedagić aka Osmica, against whom proceedings must be conducted before the Court of B&amp;H, given that Mehmedagić is the director of a state agency, writes Press.

Every trial initiated by the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H against Osman Mehmedagić is a fiasco in the Court of B&amp;H, which leaves room for doubt because Mehmedagić is a friend of the President of the Court of B&amp;H Ranko Debevec, with whom - as he claims in Viber correspondence recently published by Avaz - "stands until death". We will not go into the essence of the decisions of the Court of B&amp;H, which should act independently and judge according to the the law, but we will list all the trials that ended in the Court of B&amp;H in favor of Osman Mehmedagić- a friend of the President of the Court of B&amp;H Ranko Debevec:
- November 12th, 2020 - The Court of B&amp;H refused to impose a measure prohibiting ISA Director Osman Mehmedagić from performing his duties until the end of the criminal proceedings (“BH Post Surveillance Cameras” case)
- January 4th, 2021 - The Court of B&amp;H refused to confirm the indictment of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H against the Director of ISA Osman Mehmedagić for abuse of office (case "Security Permits")
- February 19th, 2021 - The Court of B&amp;H first instantly acquitted the Director of ISA Osman Mehmedagić of all charges against him, only half an hour after the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H presented its closing arguments (“BH Post Surveillance Cameras” case)
- March 2nd, 2021 - The Court of B&amp;H refused to confirm the new indictment of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H against the Director of ISa Osman Mehmedagić for abuse of office (case "Security Permits 2"). On the day the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H filed this indictment, the President of the Court of B&amp;H, Ranko Debevec, was photographed in the company of Mehmedagić in one building in Sarajevo.

- May 20th, 2021 - The Court of B&amp;H acquitted the second-instance director of ISA Osman Mehmedagić of all charges against him (the case of the “Surveillance Cameras of the BH Post”)

- May 21st, 2021 - The Court of B&amp;H refused to grant permission for police officers to seize documents related to fake diplomas of Osman Mehmedagić (“Diploma” case)
From November 2020 to May 21st, 2021, the Court of B&amp;H passed as many as six decisions in favor of Osman Mehmedagić, a friend of the President of the Court of B&amp;H Ranko Debevec. The Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor filed a disciplinary lawsuit to the HJPC against Debevec for inappropriate contact with Mehmedagić, but the HJPC has not yet ruled on the lawsuit.

Debevec is also burdened by the investigation against him due to his double identity in Spain and the hiding of property in this country, which he never reported to the HJPC. The public in B&amp;H has long suspected that Mehmedagić promised Debevec that he would protect him from criminal and disciplinary prosecution through the SDA in exchange for Debevec "ending up" in the Court of B&amp;H so that all cases against the ISA director end favorably for Mehmedagić.
No one, except SDA cadres, trusts the Court of B&amp;H, which is regularly praised in statements by SDA President Bakir Izetbegović.
The SDA leader goes even a step further and openly praises Ranko Debevec, claiming that evil forces are attacking him. The tapeworm with Ranko Debevec, who no longer has professional credibility and who has degraded the credibility of the Court of B&amp;H with his actions, can only be ended by the HJPC B&amp;H.

Every trial initiated by the Prosecutor's Office of B&H against Osman Mehmedagić experiences a fiasco at the Court of B&H, which leaves room for doubt because Mehmedagić is a friend of the President of the Court of B&H Ranko Debevec

Osman Mehmedagić Osmica and Ranko Debevec

Osmica "stands behind" his friend Ranko Kaveson until death: Just imagine he didn't stand!

Journalist <a href="https://avaz.ba/pretraga?query=Senad%20Had%C5%BEifejzovi%C4%87&amp;">Senad Hadžifejzović</a> in the "Centralni dnevnik" on Face TV tonight sharply answered SDA leader Bakir Izetbegović, who at a press conference today, when asked why he is not coming to his show, said that Hadžifejzović is condescending and soft towards politicians from Republic of Srpska, Serbia and Croatia. Izetbegović said he wanted status on the show, at least the same one that Serbian politicians have. Hadžifejzović reminded Izetbegović that in January 2017, when he was last time he was a guest of this television, he had the condition to receive all questions in advance.
- You are the only politician in my entire career to whom I have given all questions in advance. The CD producers were shocked why I was doing this. I said, and you’ll see, he won’t even remember the questions except about his wife, let alone answer them meaningfully. I never told anyone, not even your father, what I was going to ask them, although the first president of the state asked me a couple of times to tell him only the first, introductory question, greeting or how I would start, because of his concentration. I didn't tell them and I did tell you - out of pity and of course my self-confidence. As you have seen, with Aleksandar Vučić, President Pahor, Dodik, with most presidents, I have no paper or written questions at all, and I even gave them to you - said Hadžifejzović.

<h2>They tease you, they make fun of you</h2>

He then continued his answer to Izetbegović: - I am condescending to politicians from Republic of Srpska and Serbia. Me?! You should go to Banja Luka to see Dodik, to his nest and bring the flag of B&amp;H and put it on the table, in front of his nose, I did it! Make Dodik confess the genocide in the middle of Banja Luka, I did that. You were with Vučić, as was I, and you didn't ask him if he was shooting at Sarajevo, why he didn't admit genocide, why he didn't apologize.
Instead, in Belgrade, you condescendingly, among other things, lost a chess game as you lose politics with Serbia. I told Vučić in Belgrade that the entities should be abolished and that, because of the Serbs, he must remove the stain from the people, he must admit the genocide, and you are the one who condescendingly, courteously, insidiously, secretly, someone says traitorously, even treacherously sent emissaries to Vučić - Denis Zvizdić and Safet Softić to convey your message to him which reads: Vučić, in a few days I will make a false impression in the City Hall to Bosnians and Bosniaks that I will send a request to the Court in The Hague to revise the lawsuit against Serbia for genocide in Srebrenica, do not react to it.
You lied, you admitted that you lied to the people, you betrayed the dead, the casualitiea, the wounded, the displaced, the orphans, the widows, the mothers, the fighters, the state, Srebrenica. This is not condescending, it’s cowardly. I don't know what's wrong with you, so that's why you did it. Are you blackmailed, do you have to do it or are you just politically stupid?
A prominent journalist then said that he did not condescendingly give half of B&amp;H to RS, but Izetbegović's party did it.
- I did not, condescendingly, signed, agreed that Bosnians and Bosniaks and citizens and others live on only 24 percent of the territory of B&amp;H, separated into two enclaves - Sarajevo Gaza and Krajina West Coast.
I did not condescendingly abolish the internationally recognized name of our state - the Republic of B&amp;H, but your party, you did it.
I am against RS and FB&amp;H, I am against entities and districts, I am for a complete, multiethnic B&amp;H, and not, like you, condescendingly for a "cup state".
It was not me, but you, who negotiated in Rome, Lisbon, Ankara, Dayton on the division of B&amp;H into three republics - yours one would be called the Republic of Bosnia.
There is evidence and people who will confirm your indulgence. You condescendingly in 2017, gave statements in which you say very condescendingly "No one will ever abolish RS". RS is a permanent category, let the Serbs not worry, RS remains. When did you say that B&amp;H without RS is a permanent category and that we should not worry about its survival?
I did not condescendingly give Dodik and Čović the homes of the people. The keys to the house. Now you are whining about your indulgence. You are condescendingly at the bottom in the coalition with Dodik and Čović. They tease you, they make fun of you. You give them everything. You give them more than yourself or your people, not to mention the state.
You are condescending towards Serbs, Serbians and Croats, but I will correct you because you do not know how to express yourself precisely, not towards those peoples, but towards their leaders.
You are the definition of indulgence, softness, ignorance, humility. The loser. But, it is not you that matters, but us, we will lose and we are losing because of you and your condescension - stated Hadžifejzović.
He added that it was condescendingly agreed that Izetbegović would give billions to the HDZ, Mostar, the financial vertical, across the state to the cantons.
- You have been giving Mostar to Čović for decades. Because once upon a time, it was condescendingly agreed that Mostar was HDZ's.
You condescendingly give HDZ money from casinos, bookmakers, the complete financial vertical of all finances in the country, from cantons, through the Federation and the District, to the Council of Ministers, the VAT Administration, all ministries and all finance positions - said Hadžifejović.

<h2>You do not deny Kurjak's allegations</h2>

Hadžifejzović also reminded of war roles. - You were in the vault and safe facilities, and my colleagues, artists, journalists, we all went through sniper alleys every day. My friends, brothers, sisters, colleagues died while you were indulgently in the bunker. I paid a personal price, which is nothing compared to the tragedy of the people, and fortunately nothing happened to you. You put your family in a safe place. My family was injured.
Instead of explaining to the public today, at a press conference, you deny the allegations of Academician Kurjak that your wife did not complete any specialization or postgraduate studies in Zagreb with him, instead of denying our, Face CD original documents which show that what the academician says is true, you you retaliate nonsense, lukewarmly, with a qualification that no one believes in - that I am condescending.
And, yes, family ... I know that you are talking on the gatherings and minders, that is all your SDA policy, that I am personal in journalism and against you. If I were personal, it wouldn't take me three minutes to personally expose your condescension.
I am not condescending towards my wife, at least I am equal.
And you are towards yours. Don't you see, don't you hear the advice and voices of those smarter and wiser and more literate than me - Bakir, don't be condescending towards women. Don't give the state for a woman. And I'm waiting for you on Friday in this studio. I'll let you talk and I won't interrupt you. I may cancel you sometime, but I won't interrupt you. Come, come ... - said Hadžifejzović.

You are a loser. But it's not you that matters, it's us. We will lose and we are losing because of your condescension, said a respected journalist

Hadžifejzović sharply replied to Izetbegović: Bakir, don't trade the state for a woman, I'm waiting for you in the studio

This team is energetic, they know how to use modern means well - social networks, that's where they escaped us. We will race, the next two years are coming.
These are the words of Bakir Izetbegović after the brutal defeat in the local elections in November last year. That these were not just mere words, but that it was intensively put into action, was shown months after the elections. Dozens of pages and individual profiles have sprung up on social networks, through which, on the one hand, all moves of the SDA and its leadership are indiscriminately glorified and justified, and on the other, in the most brutal way, they insult all journalists, politicians and public figures in general who in any way oppose the actions of this party and its officials.

When it comes to individual cases, one of the most active and colorful SDA bots is Jasmin Mulahusić, who lives in Luxembourg, and is mentioned, among other things, in the report of the Algerian government submitted to the UN Security Council Committee established pursuant to Resolution 1267 (1999.), in which it is stated that he is a part of a group of Algerian terrorists linked to al-Qaeda.

The Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H is also conducting an investigation against Mulahusić for hate speech and threats to public figures. The leader of the People and Justice, Elmedin Konaković, once revealed that Mulahusić is an associate of ISA. That there is obviously truth in these words and that Mulahusić is connected with the structures of the SDA and is part of an organized network, is shown by the very way he operates on Facebook. Namely, Mulahusić is considered a kind of strike bot of this party.
He is known for making montages and FB posters through which he "draws targets" at all SDA critics or people who oppose any of their moves. Then, Mulahusić's posts are widely shared by individuals most often hidden behind fake profiles or pages that use a similar way of botting, which shows that it is a planned and networked action aimed at jamming social networks with negative content about SDA critics.

All the SDA opponents are being attacked by these assailants with names such as "Chetniks", "mercenaries", "traitors", "Ustashas", "foreign spies", with type of montages to mount hooks and cockades on their heads. In addition, the most heinous national and religious chauvinism, hate speech, as well as anti-Western sentiment are placed through these pages and profiles.

The most frequent targets among politicians on these pages are Irma Baralija, Dino Konaković, Fahrudin Radončić, PeđaKojović, Nermin Nikšić ... Lately, the most frequent target of increasingly brutal attacks is Senad Hadžifejzović, the most famous and influential journalist in B&amp;H. Thanks to his exposure of crime and the state's disastrous moves by the SDA, Hadžifejzović was exposed to several months of public lynching, with the most heinous accusations and constructions against him.
On the other hand, the main positives on these pages about which all the praise is written are Bakir Izetbegović and his wife Sebija, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ISA Director Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, FB&amp;H Prime Minister Fadil Novalić, but also currently Bakir's only loyal political ally - Željko Komšić.

<h2>From Drnišlić to Zec and Pobrić</h2>

The SDA does not run a no less aggressive campaign via the social network Twitter.
The backbone of SDA bots on this social network is "Drnišlija", the same person behind the pseudonym Mustafa Drnišlić, who signs his texts in SDA's newspaper "Stav", a certain Ermin Zec, a student from Finland, and Nedim Pobrić, current advisor of Bakir Izetbegović.
The principle of action is similar to the one on Facebook - when these main bots, SDA politicians or journalists write something on Twitter, an army of bots hidden behind nicknames then retweet en masse. In addition, they shower every public figure on Twitter who writes anything negative about the SDA and the moves of its leadership with organized violence and insults, all with the expression of the most disgusting chauvinism and hate speech.

After the local elections, Izetbegović announced the activation of bots. All SDA critics are exposed to the most brutal lynching and insults

Over 1.67 billion coronavirus vaccine shots have been given worldwide, with Turkey among the top 10 countries for jabs given, figures compiled by Our World in Data, an online portal, showed on Monday.

China was the most-vaccinated country with 510.86 million jabs, according to the data, followed by the US with 285.72 million.
India has administered 191.72 million jabs, the UK 60.6 million, and Brazil 57.73 million. Germany has reported giving 44.4 million shots, France 32.6 million, and Italy 30.9 million.
The list continues with Turkey, which has administered more than 28 million jabs, followed by Mexico, Russia, and Indonesia.
The country with the most doses administered by population was the East African island nation of Seychelles, with 134.39 doses per 100 people.

According to Health Ministry data, Turkey has administered more than 28.15 million jabs since its nationwide immunization campaign began on Jan. 14, making it the number nine country worldwide in terms of jabs given.

More than 16 million people in the country have received their first doses, while over 11.9 million have been fully vaccinated.
Most COVID-19 vaccines are administered in two jabs, so the number of jabs given is not the same as the number of individuals fully vaccinated.
Turkish officials have said they want to make vaccines available to everyone age 20 and over by the end of June.
Since December 2019, the pandemic has claimed over 3.46 million lives in 192 countries and regions, with more than 167.22 million cases reported worldwide, according to figures compiled by the US-based Johns Hopkins University.
The US, India, and Brazil remain the worst-hit countries in terms of the number of infections and deaths.

US President Joe Biden announced Monday he is sending his top diplomat to the Middle East to meet with top regional officials following last week’s ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken “will meet with Israeli leaders about our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security,” and will seek “to rebuild ties to, and support for, the Palestinian people and leaders, after years of neglect,” Biden said in a statement.
Blinken will also “engage other key partners in the region, including on the coordinated international effort to ensure immediate assistance reaches Gaza in a way that benefits the people there and not Hamas, and on reducing the risk of further conflict in the coming months,” added Biden.
Blinken will travel to Jerusalem, Ramallah, Cairo, and Amman beginning Monday, and ending on Thursday, according to the State Department.
In Israel, Blinken will meet with President Reuven Rivlin, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, and other senior Israeli officials, according to the department.
Blinken will then travel to the occupied West Bank to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh, and other senior Palestinian officials in Ramallah.
He will then depart for Cairo to meet Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi and Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry before visiting Jordan to meet King Abdullah and other top officials.
-The United States has engaged in intensive diplomacy to bring an end to the hostilities in Gaza. Secretary Blinken is traveling to the region to discuss essential follow-up efforts to consolidate the ceasefire and reduce risks of further conflict over the coming months- State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
