I think of Santa Sophia and I am very pained,&rdquo; he said during his weekly blessing in St. Peter&rsquo;s Square in the Vatican City. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has said the first prayers would be held in Hagia Sophia on July 24, after declaring the ancient monument was once again a mosque following a court ruling revoking its status as a museum.

21 people were injured in a massive blaze aboard a US warship docked at Naval Base San Diego on Sunday. Aerial footage showed palls of thick smoke engulfing much of 844-foot USS Bonhomme Richard, an amphibious assault vessel in port for routine maintenance.

Home to the US President who is known for the infamous phrase &lsquo;fake news&rsquo;, the White House's account on Twitter continues to get trolled for tweeting incorrect facts. The official handle on July 6th tweeted lines from President Trump&rsquo;s Independence Day address at Mount Rushmore, where he lauded America for several achievements that weren&rsquo;t Uncle Sam&rsquo;s. Taking credit for the invention of telephone,&nbsp;electricity, Internet&nbsp;and splitting the atom, Trump credited US for&nbsp;settling the Wild West and&nbsp;winning two World Wars. Quick to point out the many flaws in the incorrect brag, netizens&nbsp;trolled the White House while fact checking the false claims.

A Chinese virologist has accused Beijing of engaging in an extensive coronavirus cover-up, saying she did some of the earliest research into COVID-19 last year and claims that research was withheld. In a interview with Fox News, Dr. Li-Meng Yan alleges officials at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, a reference laboratory for the World Health Organization, censored her when she voiced an alarm about human-to-human transmission in December last year. In April, Yan fled Hong Kong to the US, she says, to raise awareness about the pandemic. She told Fox News she fears for her life.

The US has now seen daily new cases top 60,000 in four of the past five days.

US President Donald Trump finally wore a mask during a visit to a military hospital on Saturday, the first time the president has been seen in public with the facial covering recommended by health officials.&nbsp;Trump was visiting the&nbsp;Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in suburban Washington to meet wounded service members and health care providers.
As he left the White House, he told reporters: "I've never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place. When you're in a hospital, especially ... I think it's expected to wear a mask."
Trump had previously said that he would not wear a mask and mocked Democratic rival Joe Biden for doing so.

Johns Hopkins University has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration's decision to make international students leave the US if they intend to take classes entirely online starting this fall.&nbsp;The institution filed the lawsuit on Friday against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in federal court in the District of Columbia, arguing that the agency's decision 'completely upended' the university's reopening plans for the upcoming semester. Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also filed a lawsuit to prevent federal immigration authorities from enforcing the rule. About 5,000 international students are enrolled at Johns Hopkins.

An umbrella group of Muslim&nbsp;organisations&nbsp;in Pakistan has extended its support to the construction of the first Hindu temple in Islamabad and denounced the controversy over the issue. According to a media report on Saturday the Pakistan Ulema Council, whose members include Islamic clerics and legal scholars of different Islamic traditions, also said the Constitution of Pakistan categorically defines the rights of Muslims and non-Muslims living in the country.&nbsp;The PUC will call a meeting and will also present its point of view to the Council of Islamic Ideology.&nbsp;The CII is a constitutional body responsible for giving legal advice on Islamic issues to the Pakistan government.&nbsp;Pakistan's religious affairs ministry has written to the CII to seek its opinion on the government's funding for the construction of the temple in the capital city amid opposition from some Muslim groups.&nbsp;

Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's People's Action Party has retained power with a 'clear mandate' in the general election held amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. But the opposition staged its best performance ever by securing a record 10 seats in Parliament. The People's Action Party, which is in power since 1965, won 83 of 93 parliamentary seats or 61.2 per cent of the vote - down from nearly 70 per cent it had in the 2015 general election.

US President Donald Trump has for the time being ruled out a second phase trade deal with China, saying the relationship between the two countries has been severely damaged with Beijing's handling of the coronavirus outbreak. Earlier in the year, the Trump administration had signed a mega phase one deal with China, after intense negotiations between the two countries. Trump has consistently blamed China for the virus that has wrecked the world and left US with the highest infections and death toll.

As the Turkish President signed a decree on Friday converting the ancient Hagia Sophia in Istanbul into a mosque, the UN cultural agency UNESCO said that it "deeply regrets the decision" made "without prior discussion". Describing the building as "an architectural masterpiece, and a unique testimony to interactions between Europe and Asia over the centuries, the UNESCO said: "Its status as a museum reflects the universal nature of its heritage and makes it a powerful symbol for dialogue".

It is unlikely that the new Covid-19 could be eradicated, World Health Organisation's head for emergencies programme said on Saturday. "In the current situation it is unlikely we can eradicate this virus," Dr Mike Ryan, said during online briefing from Geneva. He said that, by extinguishing clusters of infection, the world could "potentially avoid the worst of having second peaks and having to move backwards in terms of lockdown".

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Friday that the Hagia Sophia, one of the architectural wonders of the world, would be converted into a mosque. The move has sparked fury in the Christian community. Erdogan's declaration came after a top Turkish court revoked the sixth-century Byzantine monument's status as a museum, clearing the way for it to be turned back into a mosque. The UNESCO World Heritage site in Istanbul was first constructed as a cathedral in the Christian Byzantine Empire but was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453.

US President Donald Trump on Friday commuted the sentence of his longtime friend and adviser Roger Stone. Trump's clemency will save Stone from prison after he was convicted of lying under oath to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US election. &ldquo;Roger Stone has already suffered greatly. He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!&rdquo; the White House said in a statement. Democrats condemned Trump&rsquo;s action as an assault on the rule of law.

New cases of Covid-19 rose by 68,000 across the United States on Friday, according to a Reuters tally, setting a record for the third consecutive day. A total of eight US states - Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Ohio, Utah and Wisconsin - also reached records for single-day infections. Florida remains one of the worst hotspots for the virus in the country. On Thursday, the state reported a record 120 deaths and added another 92 on Friday. It recorded 11,433 new coronavirus cases on Friday. The number of confirmed US infections is over 3 million and more than 1,33,000 Americans have died.

The World Health Organization has released new guidelines on the transmission of the novel coronavirus that acknowledge some reports of airborne transmission of the virus. The world body, however, stopped short of confirming that the virus spreads through the air. In its latest transmission guidance, the WHO has acknowledged that some outbreak reports related to indoor crowded spaces have suggested the possibility of transmission through air, such as during choir practice, in restaurants or in fitness classes. A group of scientists had earlier written to the WHO pointing out that the virus is airborne.
