Education budgets have been cut by 65 per cent of low and lower-middle-income countries after the outbreak of the&nbsp;covid-19 pandemic, according to a report by the World Bank.

In order to understand the short-term impact of the coronavirus pandemic on education budgets, information was collected for a sample of 29 countries across all regions, out of which there were three low-income countries, 14 lower-middle-income countries, 10 upper-middle-income countries and two high-income countries. The sample represented about 54 per cent of the world's school and university-aged population, the report said.

The US House of Representatives has approved a $1.9tn relief plan to help Americans during the Covid pandemic. The package will boost vaccinations and testing, and stabilise the US economy. The cash would be given as emergency financial aid to households, small businesses and state governments. The bill must now go to the Senate for approval. The vote comes in the same week the US passed 500,000 coronavirus-related deaths - the largest figure of any nation in the world. Hailing the approval, President Biden said, he hoped it would receive "quick action" at the Senate. "We have no time to waste. If we act now, decisively, quickly and boldly we can finally get ahead of this virus, we can finally get our economy moving again. And the people in this country have suffered far too much for too long. We need to relieve that suffering," said Biden.

US President Joe Biden said Friday that Iran should view his decision to authorize US air strikes in Syria as a warning. He stated that Tehran will face consequences for its support of militia groups that threaten US interests or personnel. The Pentagon said the strikes destroyed several buildings in eastern Syria but were not intended to eradicate the militia groups that used them to facilitate attacks inside Iraq.

A diplomat's job is no walk in the park. And if you are a diplomat in North Korea, even the journey back home cam become too arduous.

Because North Korea has suspended all cross-border trains due to Covid restrictions. Video posted on Russia's foreign ministry's verified Telegram account showed the trolley, laden with suitcases and women, being pushed across a border railway bridge by Third Secretary Vladislav Sorokin, the only man in the group.

The United States on Friday publicly accused Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of approving the gruesome murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. This is the first time that the US has named the de-facto ruler of its ally Saudi in the killing. An intelligence report newly declassified by President Joe Biden's administration has concluded that the prince "approved an operation in Istanbul to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi." The report added that given Prince Mohammed's influence, it was "highly unlikely" that the 2018 murder could have taken place without his green light. Khashoggi, a critic of Prince Mohammed who wrote for The Washington Post and was a US resident, was lured to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018, then killed and cut into pieces.
