Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Thursday announced a reduction in flights from high-risk Covid-19 nations, like India, following an alarming rise in coronavirus cases across the world.
After a national Cabinet meeting in Canberra, Morrison said his country will be reducing by some 30 per cent the numbers coming through chartered services in the months ahead.
While the list of high-risk countries was still being finalised, Morrison said the announcement was made keeping in view India's worsening second wave of the coronavirus.

Indonesia's navy is searching for a submarine that went missing north of the resort island of Bali with 53 people on board, the military said on Wednesday.
The KRI Nanggala 402 submarine was participating in a training exercise when it missed a scheduled reporting call.
The submarine is believed to have disappeared in waters about 60 miles north of Bali, officials said.
The navy has deployed scores of ships to search the area, including a hydrographic survey ship, and has asked for help from Singapore and Australia.
The Defense Ministry said the submarine lost contact after being granted clearance to dive. It said a helicopter later spotted an oil slick near the dive's starting position.

Britain's Heathrow Airport has refused to allow extra flights from India. The move came before the country is added on Friday to Britain's "red-list" of locations from which most travel is banned due to a high number of Covid-19 cases. The move by Britain comes after it detected more than 100 cases of a coronavirus variant first identified in India, Health Minister Matt Hancock said on Monday. Heathrow Airport said that it turned down the requests from airlines because of concerns about queues at passport control.

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday hailed his government's "stunning" achievement in administering 200 million Covid-19 vaccine shots ahead of schedule. Biden said the landmark had been reached a week before he hits his administration's 100-day mark -- the deadline he'd announced for meeting the 200 million doses challenge. Biden called it a "goal unmatched in the world or in prior mass vaccination efforts in American history." But he warned that rising infection rates in parts of the country showed that it was too early to declare victory.

At least four people were killed and a dozen others wounded when a bomb exploded at a luxury hotel hosting the Chinese ambassador in southwestern Pakistan late on Wednesday.
The blast took place in the car park of the Serena -- a luxury hotel chain throughout Pakistan -- in the city of Quetta, which is the capital of the restive Balochistan province.
"A Chinese delegation of around four people led by the ambassador was staying in the hotel. The ambassador was out for a meeting when the explosion took place," officials said.
No group immediately claimed the attack.

Around 200 million Chinese, or 14.29 per cent of the population, have been vaccinated for COVID-19 so far.
China is ramping up vaccination efforts after a slow start, prompted in part by the virtual elimination of domestic transmission.
Chinese health officials on Wednesday said the emphasis of the vaccination drive is on front-line workers, university students and people living in border areas.
Just two local cases were reported on Wednesday, both in the city of Ruili, which borders on Myanmar.
China has approved five domestically produced vaccines and exported millions of doses. The Chinese vaccines have an efficacy range of 50.7 per cent to 79.3 per cent, based on company data, lower than their foreign peers but still effective.

Britain&rsquo;s Queen Elizabeth II is marking a low-key 95th birthday on Wednesday, days after husband Prince Philip&rsquo;s funeral on Saturday.&nbsp;
While the national mourning period in memory of the Duke of Edinburgh officially concluded on Sunday, the monarch remains in mourning until Friday and there is unlikely to be any of the usual birthday markers such as the release of an official photograph by Buckingham Palace.
The Queen is expected to spend the day privately at Windsor Castle, where she will be joined by some close members of the royal family.

A white former cop in the US has been convicted of murdering African American George Floyd. A jury deliberated less than 11 hours before unanimously&nbsp;finding the 45-year-old Derek Chauvin guilty of all three charges against him -- second-degree murder, third-degree murder and manslaughter. Chauvin faces up to 40 years in prison. A crowd gathered outside the heavily guarded downtown Minneapolis courtroom erupted in cheers when the verdicts were announced. In May last year, Chauvin was seen on video kneeling on the neck of Floyd as he lay facedown and handcuffed on the ground saying repeatedly "I can't breathe." FLoyd's death had sparked widespread anti-racism protests across the US.

Cuba's Communist Party has announced Miguel D&iacute;az-Canel will succeed Ra&uacute;l Castro as the party's first secretary.
D&iacute;az-Canel, who in 2018 succeeded Raul Castro as Cuba's president, had been widely tipped for the arguably more influential post of party leader.
The transition means that the island will be governed by someone other than Fidel or Ra&uacute;l Castro for the first time since the Cuban revolution in 1959.
D&iacute;az-Canel is seen as loyal to the Castros and their economic model.
It follows the announcement on Friday that Ra&uacute;l Castro was stepping down from the key position of first secretary.
The 89-year-old had been in the post since 2011, when he took over from his older brother, Fidel Castro.

The US is gearing up for the verdict in the George Floyd murder trial. The jury in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis policeman accused of killing Floyd last year, has retired to consider its verdict.
The prosecution told jurors that Chauvin had murdered Floyd, but the defence said their client had correctly followed police training.
The court is being protected by barbed wire, high barriers and armed soldiers from the National Guard in anticipation of violence.
Cities across the country are bracing for protests regardless of the verdict.
Floyd's death at the hands of white officer Chauvin had triggered a wave of violent protests across the US last year.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is in the third week of a hunger strike while behind bars, was moved to a hospital in another prison after his doctor said

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is in the third week of a hunger strike while behind bars, was moved to a hospital in another prison after his doctor said he could be near death. Navalny's lawyer, who met him on Monday, said that the leader's health has become "significantly worse". Test results provided by the family show Navalny has sharply elevated levels of potassium, which can bring on cardiac arrest, as well as heightened creatinine levels that indicate impaired kidney function. In response to the alarming news about Navalny's health, his team has called for a nationwide rally Wednesday, the same day that Putin is scheduled to deliver his annual state of the nation address. Navalny began a hunger strike to protest the refusal to let his doctors visit when he began experiencing severe back pain and a loss of feeling in his legs.

The White House on Monday did not respond to questions on the request by Serum Institute of India to lift export ban on certain raw materials needed for ramping up production of Covid-19 vaccine.

Last week, Serum chief Adar Poonawalla had requested President Joe Biden to lift export restrictions of certain raw materials needed for scaling up Covid vacccine production.
