India on Thursday took aims at Pakistan at the UN over Islamabad co-sponsoring a resolution on promoting a culture of peace. India reminded Pakistan that it remained "mute spectator" as a mob vandalised a historic temple in its Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The Indian envoy to the UN, TS Tirumurti, said that the resolution cannot be a smokescreen for countries like Pakistan to hide behind. The envy called it an irony that the country where a temple was recently demolished and where rights of minorities are being emasculated is one of the co-sponsors of the resolution.

US Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus over phone on Thursday to discuss the decision by the Biden administration to rejoin the UN health agency.

Google on Friday threatened to pull the plug on its search function in Australia if the government goes ahead proceeds with the proposed new media code. Australia is introducing a landmark law to make Google, Facebook and other tech companies pay media outlets for their news content. The tech giant has told a senate committee that if the new code were to become law, "it would give us no real choice but to stop making Google Search available in Australia." Australia announced the legislation last month after an investigation found that Google and social media giant Facebook held too much market power in the media industry.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres welcomed the United States&rsquo; stated re-engagement with the World Health Organization, saying supporting the health agency is &ldquo;absolutely critical&rdquo; to combating the Covid-19 pandemic.
He said Washington joining the global vaccine initiative will boost efforts to ensure equitable access to vaccines for all countries.
"Supporting the WHO is absolutely critical to the world&rsquo;s efforts for a better coordinated response against Covid-19,&rdquo; a statement issued by the UN Chief's spokesperson on Wednesday said.
Guterres said now is the time for unity and for the international community to work together in solidarity to stop the virus and its shattering consequences.
&ldquo;With vaccines being a critical tool in the battle against Covid-19, the United States joining and supporting the COVAX facility will give momentum to efforts to ensure equitable access to vaccines for all countries,&rdquo; the statement said.

It aims to secure vaccines for 20 percent of the population in each participating country by the end of the year, with funding covered for the 92 lower- and lower-middle income economies involved.
