Two million people in Vietnam will be put under a raft of restrictions starting Tuesday, after their northern province became the epicentre of a growing COVID-19 outbreak.

Residents of Hai Duong province have been ordered to stay at home for 15 days, state media reported, as a nation widely praised for its handling of the pandemic struggles to extinguish a troubling new outbreak.
Since late January, Vietnam has recorded 637 locally transmitted coronavirus cases, including 461 in Hai Duong province alone.
-People (in Hai Duong) are asked to stay at home and only go out when necessary, such as to buy food or medicine, or to work at factories or production establishments that are not being asked to close- said the official mouthpiece of Vietnam's health ministry, Suc Khoe Doi Song.
Gatherings of more than two people will be banned, while schools, bars, restaurants and karaoke parlours that were shut early ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday will remain closed.
When they must go outside their homes, residents are instructed to stay two metres from others.
Traffic through the province of two million will also be limited, state media reported, with only vehicles travelling on essential business allowed to enter.
In addition to the social distancing directive, Hai Duong authorities have asked that people quarantining at three centres in the province be relocated after infections recently began spreading at those sites, according to the government.
Vietnam's latest coronavirus outbreak -- which began in the north and has since spread to central and southern areas -- has been linked to new, more contagious variants of the deadly virus, including the UK and South Africa strains.
In response, containment measures have been stepped up and hundreds of thousands of people living in areas linked to cases have been ordered to stay at home.
But the country's most serious surge of cases yet is proving difficult to stamp out. 
The capital Hanoi and the southern commercial hub Ho Chi Minh City both recently ordered schools closed until the end of February. 
The communist nation has been lauded for mostly keeping a lid on its coronavirus outbreak through strict restrictions on movement, extensive quarantine measures and a robust track-and-trace regime.
As of Monday morning, Vietnam had tallied 2,229 coronavirus cases and 35 deaths across a population of 95 million.

France on Friday recommended that people who have already recovered from Covid-19 receive a single vaccine dose, becoming the first country to issue such advice.

All three Covid-19 vaccines approved for use in the European Union are administered in the form of two doses, delivered several weeks apart. 
This is because clinical trials showed that immunity against the disease was significantly higher after individuals received two shots.
France's public health authority said Friday however that people who had already been infected with Covid-19 develop an immune response similar to that bestowed by a vaccine dose, and that a single dose after infection would likely suffice.
-A single vaccine dose will also play the role of reminding their immune system how to fight Covid-19- it said.
The authority recommended a gap of between three and six months after infection before individuals who had recovered from Covid-19 receive a jab.
-At the moment no country has clearly positioned itself in terms of a sole vaccination dose for people who have already contracted Covid-19- it said.
France has accelerated its vaccination programme in recent weeks but it is still in its infancy. 
As of Thursday, over 2.1 million people had received at least one vaccine dose, with almost 535,800 having already received two.
At least 3.4 million people have had confirmed Covid-19 infections in France, although there are likely to have been far more given the relative lack of accessible testing during the pandemic's first wave.
Two recent US studies suggest that a single vaccine dose may work in individuals who have already recovered from Covid-19.
One paper said that immunity in individuals who had had Covid-19 and then received a single vaccine dose "is equal to or even exceeds" that of people who have not had Covid-19 but received two vaccine doses.
A vaccine still in development by Johnson &amp; Johnson works with a single dose, but it is yet to receive emergency use authorisation from EU and US regulators.

Minister of Communications and Transport of Bosnia and Herzegovina Vojin Mitrović met in Sarajevo today with Turkish Ambassador to B&amp;H Haldun Koç and talked about continuing and accelerating the implementation of the Belgrade-Sarajevo-Belgrade motorway construction project.

The reason for the meeting is the signing of an agreement between the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and the Government of the Republic of Turkey on cooperation in infrastructure and construction projects, which will include that project.
As planned, the agreement will be signed on March 16 in Ankara by Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency Chairman Milorad Dodik and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Ambassador Koç underlined that Turkey remains fully behind its promise to support a project to build the motorway and an expressway connecting BiH and Serbia's capitals, as evidenced by the signing of an agreement between B&amp;H Presidency Chairman Dodik and President Erdogan.
Mitrović emphasized that the B&amp;H Ministry of Communications and Transport will do its best to remove all administrative obstacles in order to start the construction of the motorway from Bijeljina to Sarajevo, as well as the expressway from Sarajevo to Višegrad and the border crossing with Serbia.

Minister welcomed him to B&amp;H and congratulated him on taking over that responsible position of the EUFOR Commander, the PR Office of the BiH Ministry of Defense said.
Minister Podžić informed Major General Platzer about the progress regarding the obligations of B&amp;H Ministry of Defense from the Reform Program, emphasizing that everything is ready for the second phase of implementation, but that it depends on the finances that the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of B&amp;H will have.
Minister Podžić also pointed out the excellent bilateral cooperation with Austria, especially when it comes to the education of AFB&amp;H cadets. The new Commander was also informed about all the challenges that the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of B&amp;H are facing (pandemic COVID-19, migrant crisis, destroying of surplus weapons, etc.).
Major General Platzer thanked for the reception and stressed that he is impressed with the members of the AFB&amp;H and their enthusiasm. The newly appointed Commander said that he is aware of the financial difficulties, but the continuation of successful cooperation is unquestionable.
Platzer reminded that last year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, 80 percent of the planned exercises with the AFB&amp;H were done, and he believes that this year it will be at the same level.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) on Friday announced it has started a rolling review of German company CureVac’s COVID-19 vaccine.

The CHMP, the EMA’s human medicines committee, decided to begin the review of the CVnCoV vaccine “based on preliminary results from laboratory studies (non-clinical data) and early clinical studies in adults,” the agency said.
-These studies suggest that the vaccine triggers the production of antibodies and immune cells that target SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID‑19- read a statement.
-The rolling review will continue until enough evidence is available for a formal marketing authorization application.-CureVac said in a statement that the EMA will “assess CVnCoV’s compliance with standards for vaccine efficacy, safety, and pharmaceutical quality.”
-We are confident in the potential of our mRNA [messenger ribonucleic acid] technology to contribute to the fight against the global public health emergency that is COVID-19- said Dr. Lidia Oostvogels, vice president area head for infectious diseases at CureVac.
-Working together with the EMA to initiate a rolling regulatory process is a critical step in enabling potential access to our vaccine by the many people who still need protection from this deadly disease.-CureVac is among the six vaccine producers with whom the European Union, which has a population of around 450 million, signed advanced purchase agreements for about 2.3 billion doses.
The other five are Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, Johnson &amp; Johnson, and Sanofi/GlaxoSmithKline.
On Wednesday, the bloc pushed forward its COVID-19 vaccination target date by three months, saying it now aims to vaccinate 70% of the adult population by the end of the summer instead of the beginning of the season.
The decision was announced by Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, who admitted that the EU had been “late to authorize vaccines” and was “too optimistic about massive production and expectations on timely delivery.”

European regulator begins review of CureVac jab

Ukraine has banned coronavirus vaccines produced in bitter rival Russia despite struggles to launch its vaccination campaign.

A resolution passed by the government on February 8 and posted on its website Wednesday banned the registration of vaccines from "aggressor states", a designation Ukraine has applied to Russia since 2015.
Ukraine's pro-Western leadership has repeatedly rejected calls from pro-Moscow politicians to approve Russia's Sputnik V jab, denouncing the vaccine as a geopolitical tool.
Ukraine has been fighting separatists backed by Russia in its Donetsk and Lugansk regions since 2014 following Moscow's annexation of the Crimean peninsula.
The ban on Russian vaccines came despite criticism of President Volodymyr Zelensky for failing to source Western-made jabs. Not a single dose of any vaccine has yet to arrive in the ex-Soviet country.
Zelensky said this week that Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in Europe, would begin the first phase of the vaccination campaign later this month.
The country of some 40 million is awaiting delivery of eight million doses promised under the United Nations' Covax programme and up to five million doses of the Chinese CoronaVac jab.
It has also secured 12 million doses of vaccines developed by AstraZeneca and Novavax, but that is still not enough to meet the country's needs.
On Wednesday Ukraine said it launched an investigation into the country's purchasing of coronavirus vaccines, highlighting the country's struggle to end systemic graft.
Sputnik V has meanwhile been rolled out in the breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine that are controlled by Kremlin-backed separatists.
Ukraine has recorded more than 1.2 million coronavirus cases and more than 24,000 deaths.

British television channel BBC World News has been barred from airing in China, the National Radio and Television Administration said on Friday, a week after Britain’s media regulator revoked Chinese state television’s broadcast licence.In a statement issued on the stroke of the Lunar New Year, the administration said an investigation found BBC World News’ China-related reports had “seriously violated” regulations, including that news should be “truthful and fair,” had harmed China’s national interests and undermined national unity.
The channel therefore does not meet requirements for foreign channels broadcasting in China and its application to air for another year will not be accepted, it added.
China’s move was condemned by British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab, while the BBC said it was “disappointed”.
-China’s decision to ban BBC World News in mainland China is an unacceptable curtailing of media freedom- Raab said.
-China has some of the most severe restrictions on media and internet freedoms across the globe, and this latest step will only damage China’s reputation in the eyes of the world.-English-language BBC World News is not included in most TV channel packages in China but is available in some hotels and residences.
Two Reuters journalists in China said the channel had gone blank on their screens.
-We are disappointed that the Chinese authorities have decided to take this course of action- the BBC said.
-The BBC is the world’s most trusted international news broadcaster and reports on stories from around the world fairly, impartially and without fear or favour.-On Feb. 4, British media regulator Ofcom revoked China Global Television Network’s (CGTN) licence to broadcast in the United Kingdom after an investigation found the licence was wrongfully held by Star China Media Ltd.
China criticised the ruling as politicised and warned it reserved the right to make a “necessary response”.

Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans on Thursday to have a little more patience after agreeing with regional leaders to extend a coronavirus lockdown until March 7 and said restrictions would not last a day longer than necessary.Addressing the Bundestag, the lower house of parliament, Merkel said the extension was needed to avoid a third wave due to the risk posed by new virus variants.
-I know what we have achieved in our fight against the virus has had, and is still having, a high price- said Merkel.
A gradual fall in daily infections has raised pressure for an easing of tight restrictions in place since mid-December and Merkel agreed with state premiers on Wednesday that some schools and hairdressers could open sooner than March 7.
With neighbouring countries seeking to contain major outbreaks, Germany will impose stricter controls on people seeking to enter its territory from the Czech Republic and Austria’s Tyrol region from Feb. 14, an Interior Ministry spokesman said on Thursday.
The Czech Republic earlier announced a stricter lockdown in three districts, including two on the border with Germany, where coronavirus infections have soared above 1,000 per 100,000 residents over the past week.
“The introduction of border controls is required to prevent the virus (mutation) from being transmitted to Germany,” the Interior Ministry spokesman said, adding that details of how strict the measures will be were still being finalised.
Seeking to reassure Germans that the lockdown was helping, Merkel said she was aware this was the most serious curtailment of freedoms in post-war Germany. She knew many people were lonely and worried about money and their future.
-As a democracy we have a duty not to keep the restrictions in place for a day longer than is necessary- she said.
Europe’s biggest economy shrank by 5% last year and some businesses are dismayed at the latest extension and the lack of a timetable for easing restrictions.
A vaccination programme offered hope for the coming months, said Merkel, adding that she understood people’s disappointment with the roll-out, which is far slower than in Britain, Israel and the United States.
To avoid a third wave of infections, however, a little more patience was required.
-I don’t think that the back and forth - opening up then closing down again - brings more predictability for people than waiting a few days longer- said Merkel.

The newly elected president of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Halil Lagumdžija, reiterated today that he would be maximally engaged in improving the situation in the B&amp;H judiciary in terms of restoring confidence in the work of judicial institutions.

-My main goal will be to take all necessary steps to restore citizens' trust in an independent and impartial judiciary- said Lagumdžija during the break of a two-day session of the HJPC, a day after the election of the new leadership of that regulatory body.
Convinced that all members of the Council would work diligently in this area, Lagumdžija stressed the need to intensify activities in line with the recommendations of the European Commission and the findings of the reports by the experts.
He announced a committed engagement on the reform of B&amp;H judiciary, including the adoption of the HJPC reform program and a more effective fight against corruption and organized crime, the priorities set out in the European Commission's Opinion, as well as the adoption of amendments to the Law on HJPC.
-I will insist on the urgent adoption of amendments to the Law on the HJPC B&amp;H- said Lagumdžija, emphasizing the need to establish a credible system of checking the property records of judicial office holders, improving the appointment and evaluation process, and strengthening accountability and integrity within judicial institutions.
Answering a journalist's question about expectations and why he thinks that the new convocation and presidency of the HJPC B&amp;H will make a change and contribute to improving the overall situation in the judiciary, Lagumdžija reiterated that he personally wants to do everything for the B&amp;H judiciary to move in a positive direction.
He emphasized that in order to achieve that goal, he will seek full cooperation of partners and competent institutions in BiH, as well as the international community.
-We will do everything it takes to unblock these processes and move in a positive direction- Lagumdžija said explicitly, expressing his belief that the new leadership of the HJPC would find a way to respond to all the problems that currently burden the B&amp;H justice system.&nbsp;

Doctors and medical staff of health centers in the Una-Sana Canton (USC) provide daily medical care for about 900 migrants and refugees in the Lipa migrant center near Bihać.

The biggest problem is the infection with scabies, which is expected given the difficult living conditions in the earlier period. 
-This is our most serious problem at the moment, because almost every other person currently staying here is infected with scabies. Our medical teams have taken this problem very seriously, and the Institute of Public Health assisted in the development of treatment protocols, i.e. the control and prevention of further spread of the infection. The individual treatment in the tents has been determined exactly- said Minister of Health of the USC, Nermina Ćemalović.
The importance of providing heated living spaces, hygiene supplies, as well as space for maintaining personal hygiene was also emphasized.
-Conditions have significantly improved and these people have finally been provided with dignified treatment. I am especially glad that clear rules of conduct have been introduced in the tent settlement. Also, donors are helping to procure food, shoes, clothes and other necessities- said the Secretary of the Red Cross of the City of Bihać.
Migrants and refugees are much happier with the current situation.
-We are aware that it may not be ideal, but now the situation is much better. We sleep in a heated space, we have enough food and water, as well as the possibility of maintaining personal hygiene and toilets. Everyone is much happier- said Ali from Pakistan.
In the previous days, the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina conducted the process of biometric identification of all persons at this location, while members of the Armed Forces completed the works on the construction of the access road.

Minister of Security of Bosnia and Herzegovina Selmo Cikotić and Ambassador of the Republic of France to B&amp;H Christine Toudic today signed a Technical Agreement between the Ministry of Security of B&amp;H and the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of France on cooperation in combating illicit trade in firearms, ammunition and explosives.

The agreement will enable the continuation of cooperation initiated by specialized services, improve the exchange of information on illicit arms trade and strengthen the technical capacities of the competent authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the field of crime processing techniques and forensics, the B&amp;H Ministry of Security said.
Bosnia and Herzegovina and France are committed to working together to combat these forms of crimes, especially because of the role that illicit trade in arms plays in the growth of international terrorism and transnational organized crime.
Ambassador Toudic pointed out that the signing of this new agreement testifies to France's commitment to bilateral and regional activities towards preventing and combating the illicit trade in weapons, ammunition and explosives.
-In this regard, Bosnia and Herzegovina is an important partner of France. The agreement also testifies to the joint efforts of Bosnia and Herzegovina and France to strengthen police cooperation, especially operational cooperation, in the fight against transnational organized crime that endangers the security of both countries, and the whole of Europe- said Toudic.
The Ministry of Security of B&amp;H points out that the establishment of a permanent criminal intelligence network whose main mission is the prevention and fight against the illicit trade in firearms is planned for the coming period.
