Iran reported over 500 daily Covid deaths for the first time on Sunday, its health ministry announced, as new infections also hit a record high.

Iran registered 39,619 new infections in the 24 hours to Sunday, taking the total since the pandemic started to 4,158,729, the ministry said.
During that same period it recorded 542 deaths, taking the total number of fatalities to 94,015, it added.
Iranian health officials have acknowledged that the Islamic republic's Covid figures underestimate the real toll.
But Iran remains the Middle East country worst hit by the pandemic.
Covid infections have been surging since late June, in what officials have warned is a "fifth wave" caused by the highly infectious Delta variant.
Daily infections have hit several records over the past few weeks.
The previous recorded high for fatalities was 496, registered on April 26, at the height of the Islamic republic's previous wave.
Iran's state television said hospitals across the country were facing a "crisis" and described the health situation as bleak.
-Although the vaccination pace has been accelerating, the observation of health protocols has dropped significantly- it said.
Iran has pinned its hopes on vaccinations to help with the health crisis.
But the innoculation campaign launced in February has progressed more slowly than authorities had planned.
Choked by US sanctions that have made it difficult to transfer money abroad, Iran says it is struggling to import vaccines for its population of 83 million.
More than 12.5 million people have been given a first vaccine does, but only 3.7 million have received the necessary two jabs, the health ministry said on Sunday.
Raisi said Saturday that a "plan to transform the way to confront the coronavirus" was to be reviewed next week. 
He did not give any details, but said on Sunday that accelerating the pace of vaccinations is one of his government's priorities, according to the president's official website.
Chairing a Covid taskforce meeting, he also vowed on Saturday to "support domestic vaccine production" while "not hesitating" to import jabs from abroad.
The authorities have approved the emergency use of two locally produced vaccines, with the only mass-produced one, COVIran Barekat, still in short supply.
The other vaccines used in Iran include Russia's Sputnik V, China's Sinopharm, India's Bharat and AstraZeneca/Oxford, according to the health ministry.
Raisi and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf received their first Barekat jab on Sunday, state TV said.
Last week, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered the government to take "necessary measures" to contain the spread of the pandemic.
Iran has avoided imposing a full lockdown on the population, and instead resorted to piecemeal measures such as temporary travel bans and business closures.
Outgoing health minister Saeed Namaki has recently suggested a two-week shutdown to help contain the spread of the virus.

Vlado Adamović, the lawyer of the Chief State Prosecutor Gordana Tadić, confirmed today for "Dnevni avaz" that he had filed an appeal against the decision of the First Instance Disciplinary Commission of the HJPC B&amp;H by which Tadić was relieved of her duties.
Adamović told us that he filed the complaint three days ago and that it was in response to the Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor (UDT B&amp;H).
- After that, the whole procedure goes to the Second Instance Commission of the HJPC. I demanded that the measure of dismissal be revoked. Everything that the First Instance Commission published does not stand. In all reports, Serge Brammertz praised Gordana Tadić and the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, before the UN - Adamović told us.
TadiĆ was relieved of her duties, as stated in the decision of the First Instance Commission of the HJPC B&amp;H, because she "committed disciplinary violations".
She was given a disciplinary measure "transfer from the position of Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H to the position of Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H".
The Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor (UDT) of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HJPC B&amp;H) filed disciplinary lawsuits against Gordana Tadić, Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H, and Ranko Debevec, President of the Court of B&amp;H, in early April. While Tadić was disciplined for much more lenient acts, Debevec, who hid his property in Spain for 14 years, "partied" with the suspects, was only publicly warned.

The President of SBB, Fahrudin Radončić, sent congratulations to Reis-l-ulema Husein ef. Kavazović, all members of the Islamic Community in B&amp;H and Muslims on the occasion of the New Year 1443 AH.
- I pray to Allah for all of you to welcome the Hijri year 1443 and spend it happy and satisfied in health, peace and security. In these difficult and uncertain times of the pandemic, the year ahead is an opportunity for us as Muslims, as a society and a state, to show additional unity, strength and desire to work together and fight against all adversities that stand in the way of prosperity. I believe that the New Hijri Year gives a new opportunity for everyone to show more mutual understanding, respect and appreciation and to, in terms of the essential message of the Hijra, leave everything that is not good and useful - said Radončić.

More than 250 migrants disembarked in Sicily on Saturday from an NGO rescue ship, while another vessel carrying around 550 people was given permission to land on the Italian island.

Both ships had put out urgent appeals for a safe port following days at sea in the central Mediterranean, warning of the deteriorating health of those on board, who include children.
-The #SeaWatch3 (ship) reached the port of Trapani this morning. We are happy to finally have a port of safety- the German organisation Sea Watch International tweeted, saying 257 people were being disembarked.
On Thursday, they had warned of a "critical" situation, with a lack of many medicines and symptoms of dehydration appearing among many of those on board, some of whom had been at sea for a week.
Meanwhile the crew of another rescue vessel, Ocean Viking, told AFP they had been given permission to disembark their 549 passengers at the Sicilian port of Pozzallo on Sunday.
They had earlier warned they were running out of medication, some on board were suffering from dehydration and others had skin infections.
-What we need is a place of safety to disembark them as soon as possible- crew member and spokeswoman Julia Schaerfermeyer said, adding that 118 minors including 13 children aged under 12 were among those on board.
The vessel, run by French NGO SOS Mediterranee, rescued 555 people last weekend, although two pregnant women and two others have since been evacuated, alongside two of their relatives.
They were waiting off the east coast of Sicily for permission to disembark. They said requests to Malta were rejected while Tunisia and Libya did not respond.
Schaerfermeyer had appealed to the European Union to help coordinate plans to manage rescue ships in international waters, "to step up in support of the coastal states, and for a predictable disembarkation mechanism to be put in place".
Tens of thousands of people seek to cross the central Mediterranean each year, normally setting off from Libya and aiming for the Italian coast, but it is a deadly journey.
Almost 1,000 people have died on the route so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

India gave emergency approval to Johnson and Johnson's single-shot coronavirus vaccine Saturday to ramp up its flailing immunisation campaign as fears grow of a new wave of infections. 

Health minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the approval will boost the fight against the pandemic in India, where at least 200,000 people died in a brutal two-month wave up to mid-June. 
-India expands its vaccine basket! Johnson and Johnson's single-dose COVID-19 vaccine is given approval for Emergency Use in India- the minister said on Twitter. 
No indication has been given as to when the US company's doses will reach India. 
The nation of 1.3 billion people has administered 500 million vaccine doses so far, but barely eight percent of the population has had two shots. 
Johnson and Johnson's vaccine is the fifth to be approved after Oxford-AstraZeneca's Covishield, the home developed Covaxin, Russia's Sputnik V, and the US-made Moderna jab. 
India remains the second worst-hit nation after the United States, with more than 32 million confirmed cases and 427,000 deaths. Because of under-reporting experts say the real toll is much higher. 
They also warn that the slow vaccination pace puts India at risk from any new infection crisis. The number of new cases and deaths has started rising again in the past two weeks. 
The government’s free immunisation drive relies heavily on Covishield and Covaxin and producers are struggling to meet demand.
Sputnik has not yet scaled up production and Moderna is yet to import any shots.

Authorities in Switzerland are investigating two UEFA employees, who have since been dismissed, over allegations that they received kickbacks, the prosecutor of the Vaud canton said on Friday, confirming reports in the Swiss daily Blick.
The case dates back to April when the police raided the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, on the shores of Lake Geneva between Geneva and Lausanne. 
Nothing had filtered out from either the justice department or from the organisation which oversees European football until Blick revealed the case on Thursday. 
-The Vaud public prosecutor confirms the existence of a criminal investigation, which included a police intervention at UEFA headquarters. Many people, some of them UEFA collaborators, have been heard- explained the prosecution in response to questions from AFP. 
The two accused had been held in custody since April 7 although one was released Wednesday and the other Friday, the prosecuters confirmed. 
-The investigation is in relation to arrangements with external ICT (Information and Communication Technology) service providers to the detriment of UEFA, and does not concern the sales of rights or any commercial arrangements with official partners- UEFA told AFP in a statement. 
According to Blick's sources, rebates were collected on contracts between UEFA and providers with the sums embezzled said to be substantial. 
-UEFA terminated the employment contracts with the staff concerned with immediate effect- said the statement which added that the football body had cooperated immediately and fully with the Swiss authorities.
Deeming itself to be a victim in the affair, UEFA has filed a civil action.
The probe will continue in the coming months, the prosecution said, adding that it will not make any further comments.&nbsp;

Deputy Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina Vesko Drljača, Deputy Ambassador of China to B&amp;H Miao Dake and Acting Director of the Public Health Institute of the Federation of B&amp;H Siniša Skočibušić received 500,000 doses of Sinopharm vaccine from China at the Sarajevo International Airport, which the Federation of B&amp;H procured from a Chinese manufacturer. 

This is the largest single delivery of COVID-19 vaccines to Bosnia and Herzegovina to date.
-This is the realization of the Agreement that was concluded at the end of July directly with the manufacturer Sinopharm. This Agreement has a special significance for the Federation of B&amp;H and on that behalf I would like to thank China and Sinopharm. Also, I would congratulate to the FB&amp;H Institute for Public Health- said Drljača.
Chinese Deputy Ambassador to B&amp;H Miao Dake stated that today's delivery, 500,000 doses, is a sign of friendship between B&amp;H and China, and China's commitment to vaccines as a global public good.
-Only by adhering to multilateralism, unity and cooperation can we defeat the pandemic. China will continue to support B&amp;H citizens in the fight against the pandemic, and will provide assistance in its capabilities. We wish you a quick victory over the pandemic, peace and health- said Dake.
Today's delivery of vaccines is the result of long negotiations and legal and financial activities led by the FB&amp;H Institute for Public Health with the Government of the Federation of B&amp;H.
-At this turning point for the Federation, after the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected and when we record a slight increase in the number of infected, this delivery gives us confidence that in the coming period we will have the opportunity to continue vaccinating the population according to priorities, and especially persons who are over 60 years old- pointed out the Acting Director of the Institute for Public Health of FB&amp;H Siniša Skočibušić.

The Office of the Disciplinary Prosecutor of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council of Bosnia and Herzegovina, headed by Alena Kurspahić-Nadarević, answered today for "Avaz" that it will appeal the decision of the First Instance Disciplinary Commission in the "Ranko Debevec" case for several reasons.
Including the appeal against the rejecting part of the decision and the decision on the imposed disciplinary measure, it was said for "Avaz" from the HJPC.
We remind you that although he was part of numerous scandals, inappropriate meetings, threats to prosecutors, journalists, Ranko Debevec, severely compromised President of the Court of B&amp;H, by the decision of First Instance Disciplinary Commission of the HJPC, was only publicly warned in disciplinary proceedings against him for several disciplinary offenses.
One of them is for inappropriate contact with Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, director of the Intelligence and Security Agency (ISA), last year, on the day when the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H filed a new indictment against Osmica in the "Security Checks" affair.
All this was not enough to suspend Debevec and relieve him of his duties. It is obvious that the HJPC of B&amp;H has double standards: one applies to the Chief Prosecutor of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H Gordana Tadić, and the other to the President of the Court of B&amp;H Ranko Debevec.
With this decision of the HJPC B&amp;H, Bakir Izetbegović, the leader of the SDA, who controls Debevac through Osmica, still has the head of the Court and the head of the ISA at his disposal.

German prosecutors said Friday they have launched an investigation against the district chief of the flood-hit region of Ahrweiler for negligence as warnings were made belatedly, resulting in the deaths of dozens of residents.

Some 189 people lost their lives in severe floods that pummelled western Germany in mid-July, raising questions about whether enough was done to warn residents.
Following an initial examination of the case, prosecutors in Koblenz said they have "affirmed the initial suspicion of negligent homicide and negligent bodily harm... and have initiated investigations."
Ahrweiler district chief Juergen Pfoehler is the focus of the probe because he had "sole decision-making authority" and was meant to be in charge of the operation according to current regulations.
Another member of the crisis group, who had for at least part of the time taken over the command of the emergency response, was also under investigation, prosecutors said, without naming the suspect.
After reconstructing the events, investigators found that forecasts about the impeding floods should have led officials to sound the warning and evacuate residents living near the swollen Ahr river by 8:30 PM (1830 GMT) on July 14.
-This, according to the initial suspicion, was obviously either not carried out, or not carried out with the required clarity or only carried out belatedly, such that it could amount negligence- said prosecutors.
Sixteen people are still missing after torrents of water ripped through towns and villages, destroying bridges, roads, railways and housing in the region's worst flooding disaster in living memory.

The number of COVID-19 vaccine shots administered worldwide surpassed 4.31 billion on Thursday, according to Our World in Data, a tracking website affiliated with Oxford University.&nbsp;China, where the virus was first detected in late 2019, leads the count with more than 1.73 billion jabs, followed by India and the US with 489.34 million and 348.1 million, respectively.
Brazil has administered over 147.2 million vaccine shots, while the figure stands at 93.75 million in Germany.
Next on the list are Japan and the UK, with 92.3 million and 85.6 million doses.
Turkey has administered over 74.8 million jabs and ranks ninth worldwide.
More than 41.42 million people have received their first doses in Turkey and 28.09 million have been fully vaccinated.
As COVID-19 vaccines are generally given in two separate doses per person, the count of administered vaccines does not mean that the same number of people have been vaccinated.
The global COVID-19 case count is now over 200.4 million, including 4.26 million related deaths.

A massive blaze that reached the edge of a power plant in Turkey’s southwestern Mugla province was contained early on Thursday, authorities said.

The blaze reached the perimeter of the Kemerkoy Thermal Power Plant in Mugla’s Milas district late on Wednesday, prompting the evacuation of all personnel as well as people living in nearby areas.
Firefighters worked through the night to contain the blaze and started a cooling process to ensure it does not reignite, according to officials.

Dozens of villages were evacuated and thousands of residents were forced to leave their homes on Thursday because of forest fires in Greece.

Firefighters said a fire that ignited in the forest area in the Olympia region in the northwest of Peloponnese on Wednesday continued throughout the night and extraordinary efforts were made to protect the ancient city and the museum, which was threatened.
Prime Minister Kiryakos Mitsotakis, toured Olympia, made investigations and received information from authorities about the status of the fire.
Ninety people stuck on the coastline in Euboea were rescued by boats and at least 13 villages were evacuated as a precautionary measure, while an emergency was declared in the region.

Drug maker Moderna said Thursday that its coronavirus vaccine is 93% effective six months after injection.

In a statement regarding ongoing clinical trials, CEO Stephane Bancel added: "The Delta variant is a significant new threat, so we must remain vigilant."
All three of the current COVID-19 vaccines on the market in the US are believed to offer protection from the more contagious Delta variant. In rare "breakthrough" cases, in which vaccinated people get the virus, symptoms are generally mild or non-existent.
Bancel said the company is working on a booster shot that he envisions being a single-shot vaccine that would be doled once a year and would protect against COVID-19 and the basic flu.
Bancel says in clinical trials, the booster shots "demonstrate robust antibody responses to COVID-19 variants."
Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is working on granting full approval for the Pfizer vaccine by September. The Moderna and Johnson and Johnson vaccines are expected to get full approval sometime after that approval.
The three vaccines have been available on an emergency use authorization and the FDA is speeding up its timetable to grant full-use authorization.
The moves come as vaccine hesitancy in parts of the US, even vaccine hostility, is helping the spread of the Delta variant. But the White House is reporting that in areas where hospitalizations have been surging, vaccination rates are starting to tick up.

Members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Sarajevo Canton (MUP SC) searched the property owned by Osman Mehmedagić Osmica, director of the Intelligence and Security Agency (ISA) of B&amp;H, three days ago.
According to the request of the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H and the order of the Court, Mehmedagić's house, two apartments and vacation home were searched.

<h2>He knew about the search warrant</h2>

Searches were conducted at four locations, in Hrasno, Trnovo, the city center, in Mis Irbina Street, where Mehmedagić has an apartment, and in Dobrinja.
According to the request of the state prosecutor Oleg Čavka, the police asked for documentation on Mehmedagić's education at the American University in B&amp;H, whose owner is the compromised Denis Prcić.
As we have learned unofficially, the police did not find anything that could serve the prosecutors in the further course of the investigation, because this documentation is obviously hidden.
The reason is the obvious agreement between the individuals in the Court and Osman Mehmedagić, who knew about the search warrant.
We learn that the police did not find a computer or a mobile device in four locations, as well as any documents related to Osmica's education.

On the other hand, the Prosecution is actively working to expand the investigation in relation to Mehmedagić also because he terminated his accelerated retirement, to which, according to the law, he was not entitled.
Osmica has stopped reporting length of service since 2017.
According to the information that "Avaz" has, Osmica in September 2016, using the powers given to him in the service of Article 3 of the Law on OSA B&amp;H, passed the Rulebook on the internal organization of ISA B&amp;H in which he directly violated the legal provision by direct violation of the Law on ISA B&amp;H, which stipulates that employees of the Agency in jobs that include the performance of operational activities, are entitled to an extended period of insurance.
As we find out, without the legally prescribed form, Mehmedagić made a list of jobs that prescribes the duration of the increased length of service and submitted everything to the Council of Ministers of B&amp;H for adoption as part of the Rulebook on Internal Organization of ISA B&amp;H.

The director of ISA decided on these moves all with the aim of achieving illegal property gain in the form of illegal performance of office and in order to avoid mandatory retirement.
The Prosecution has obtained evidence that Osmica in the table which is an integral part of the Rulebook in the position of headings of the Director General, Deputy Director General and Chief Inspector avoided to put any indication of the length of service for these positions, so when the B&amp;H Council of Ministers adopted the rulebook, he immediately ordered the competent services of ISA B&amp;H to stop paying and reporting the accelerated retirement in his name, as well as his deputy Trifko Buha and Chief Inspector Damir Bevanda from the beginning of 2017.

<h2>He stopped reporting the legally prescribed accelerated retirement</h2>

Osmica, by falsely presenting the facts to the competent ethical body, more precisely to the Federal Pension and Disability Insurance Institute, stopped reporting the legally prescribed benefited accelerated retirement, due to which he continued to perform the duty of director, although at the end of 2020, according to the force of law, a retirement age of 40 years was required for mandatory retirement. Osmica has turned 40 years and six months of work experience and already had to retire.
However, in this way, Mehmedagić, by deceiving the Pension and Disability Insurance Institute by deleting his length of service, as the Prosecution suspects, achieved an illegal property gain in the amount of 50,000 KM. In that way, he damaged the budget of Bosnia and Herzegovina because he received at least ten salaries.

Three days ago, the police did not find anything that could serve the prosecutors in the further course of the investigation

A British security guard who was killed in a suspected Iranian drone strike on an Israel-linked tanker was a former soldier in the British army, his employers said on Thursday.

Maritime security firm Ambrey said Adrian Underwood was on board the M/T Mercer Street when it came under attack in the Indian Ocean off Oman last Thursday.
A Romanian national was also killed.
-Adrian was a former soldier in the British Army with a distinguished record of service- Ambrey's managing director John Thompson said in a statement.
-He came to work for Ambrey in 2020 and his qualities were quickly recognised as he was rapidly promoted from maritime security officer to team leader.-The United States and Israel have both pointed the finger at Iran for being behind the attack on the tanker, which is managed by a prominent Israeli businessman in London.
Security analysts have said the fatal attack -- strongly denied by Tehran -- has upped the stakes in the "shadow war" against vessels linked to Iran and Israel.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called the attack "unacceptable and outrageous" and warned Iran of consequences.
On Tuesday, Iran was again blamed for an alleged hijacking of an asphalt and bitumen tanker in the Gulf of Oman, prompting more denials from the Islamic republic.
