By

   

"Secret Service guards shot a person, who was apparently armed, outside the White House." President Donald Trump disclosed this on Monday just after being briefly evacuated in the middle of a press conference.

The president was abruptly  taken out of the press event and black-clad secret service agents with automatic rifles rushed across the lawn north of the White House.

Few minutes later, Trump reappeared at the press conference, where journalists had been locked in, and revealed that someone had been shot outside the White House grounds.

He said law enforcement shot someone who seems to be, the suspect. And the suspect was on the way to the hospital.

Trump said he didn't know anything about the identity or motives of the person shot, but when asked if the person had been armed, he answered: “From what I understand, the answer is yes.”

In a surprise announcement, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Tuesday that a vaccine tagged “Sputnik V” — after the Soviet satellite — provided “sustainable immunity” against the novel coronavirus. As research laboratories around the world race to develop a vaccine, manufacturers have received financing to allow them prepare to have millions of doses ready to administer in 2021 or even before the end of the year. Oxford University,in collaboration with the Swedish-British pharmaceutical group AstraZeneca,expects to have results by September while the US biotech company ...

The Americas are the new epicenter of the virus, with countries like the US currently having record cases, and India and South Africa are also surging.

By

  As the possibility of a widely available COVID-19 vaccine steadily draws nearer, initial limitations in supply have left experts worldwide asking: Who should get the vaccine first? The World Health Organization and its appointed Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, or SAGE, have announced a worldwide vaccine distribution plan — it pushes back on so-called vaccine nationalism, the idea that each country should prioritize its own citizens. Instead, the WHO adopts a global approach, prioritizing vaccination among the most vulnerable people everywhere. “The first priority must be to vaccinate some people in all the countries, rather than all the people in some countries,” WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated in Geneva on Friday. “Vaccine nationalism will prolong the pandemic, not shorten it.” The WHO’s proposed vaccine distribution framework would ensure all countries access to the novel coronavirus vaccine once it becomes available.
