Japan pushes for ban on TikTok

Japan&rsquo;s ruling party is reportedly looking to urge the government to restrict the use of Chinese&nbsp;apps like TikTok, following India&rsquo;s ban of 59 such apps and Washington&rsquo;s repeated threats. This comes amid growing concerns that the Bytedance-owned teenage sensation and other apps are being used to collect personal data for the Chinese government. Japan is looking to implement tighter controls on the handling of sensitive information, which according to national broadcaster NHK, could also see restrictions on Chinese-developed banking systems that use AI for tasks like evaluating loan applications.

Oprah Winfrey said Monday that neither the Queen nor her husband Prince Philip were part of conversations expressing concern over how dark the skin of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's son Archie, would be. Harry would not reveal who had raised the concerns, Winfrey told CBS on Monday, but "he wanted to make sure that I knew and if I had an opportunity to share it that it was not his grandmother nor his grandfather that were a part of those conversations." The couple accused the British Royal Family in a sensational interview with Winfrey broadcast Sunday of fretting over Archie's skin tone ahead of his birth. Meghan is African American and the first person of color to marry in to the Royal family.&nbsp;

Australia has suspended its defense cooperation with Myanmar and is redirecting humanitarian aid because of the Southeast Asian nation's military takeover of the government and ongoing detention of an Australian citizen.
Foreign Minister Marise Payne said Monday that Australian diplomats only had access to economic policy adviser Sean Turnell twice since he was detained in early February.
She described the access as a "small amount of consular support."

Ace Tennis star Serena Williams extended her support to her friend Meghan Markle, following her sensational interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Ace Tennis star Serena Williams extended her support to her friend <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/meghan-makes-a-royal-roast-on-oprah-show-top-quotes-1615177630814" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meghan Markle</a>, following her sensational interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Defending her friend, Williams wrote a heart-touching&nbsp;note on Twitter. The American Tennis player said Meghan Markle&nbsp;had taught her what it means to be truly noble, and that she realises how the sexism and racism institutions use to vilify women and people of colour.
The mental health consequences of systemic oppression and victimisation are devastating, isolating and all too often lethal, she added.
The Duchess of Sussex has told Winfrey that she had suicidal thoughts after marrying into royalty and the British royals were concerned about how dark Markle&nbsp;and Prince Harry's&nbsp;son&nbsp;skin might be.&nbsp;

Pope Francis on Monday wrapped up his historic whirlwind tour of Iraq that sought to bring hope to the country's marginalised Christian minority with a message of coexistence, forgiveness and peace. The pontiff and his travelling delegation were to be seen off with a farewell ceremony at the Baghdad airport, from where he will leave for Rome following a four-day papal visit that has covered five provinces across Iraq. At every turn, Francis urged Iraqis to embrace diversity, from Najaf in the south, where he held a historic face-to-face meeting with powerful Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, to Nineveh to the north, where he met with Christian victims of the Islamic State group's terror and heard their testimonies of survival.

Two top Democrats in New York&rsquo;s legislature said on Sunday that sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo by five women, most of them former aides, and undercounting Covid-19 deaths in nursing homes have undermined his ability to lead and he should resign. Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins became the first senior Democrat in the state to say the three-term governor should resign. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie stopped short of demanding that Cuomo quit, but said in a statement that &ldquo;it is time for the Governor to seriously consider whether he can effectively meet the needs of the people of New York.&rdquo; Meanwhile, in a press conference on Sunday Cuomo said it would be &ldquo;anti-democratic&rdquo; for him to step down and that he would not resign.

Swiss voters narrowly approved on Sunday a proposal to ban face coverings in public. This includes both the niqabs and burqas worn by a few Muslim women in the country and the ski masks and bandannas used by protesters.
The measure will outlaw covering one's face in public places like restaurants, sports stadiums, public transport or simply walking in the street. Face coverings at religious sites and for security or health reasons, such as face masks people are wearing now to protect against Covid -19, will be exempted from the ban. Authorities have two years to draw up detailed legislation.

Meghan Markle Interview: Meghan Markle has accused the British Royal Family of fretting over how dark her son's skin would be.

<a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/meghan-makes-a-royal-roast-on-oprah-show-top-quotes-1615177630814" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Meghan Markle</a> has accused the British Royal Family of fretting over how dark her son's skin would be. She made the revelation in a sensational interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Markle, who is African American, says her husband Prince Harry revealed his family's concerns over Archie's skin tone, as well as the security he would be entitled to, ahead of his birth in May 2019.
&ldquo;They didn&rsquo;t want him to be a prince or princess, not knowing what the gender would be, which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn&rsquo;t going to receive security,&rdquo; Meghan said.
The two-hour chat is the biggest royal interview since Harry's mother princess Diana opened up about her failing marriage to his father Prince Charles in 1995.

In his <a href="https://www.editorji.com/story/meghan-makes-a-royal-roast-on-oprah-show-top-quotes-1615177630814" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with Oprah Winfrey</a>, Prince Harry said that he felt&nbsp;let down by his father Prince Charles, heir to the British Throne, as he has been through something similar.
A disappointed Duke of Sussex said that his father knew what the pain feels like and despite that, a lot of hurt has happened.&nbsp;
The Prince who revealed on Winfrey's show that his father had stopped taking his calls and had completely cut him off financially, feels that his late mother Diana would have been angry at the way the British royal family treated his wife Meghan Markle.&nbsp;
The Prince further said that if it had not been for his wife, he would not have stepped back. "I was trapped but didn't&nbsp;know I was trapped," he told Oprah Winfrey.&nbsp;

The rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines by India in collaboration with leading global institutions has "rescued the world" from the deadly coronavirus, a top American scientist has said. Dr Peter Hotez, Dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston has emphasised that India's contributions in fighting the pandemic must not be underestimated.
India is called the pharmacy of the world during the COVID-19 pandemic with its vast experience and deep knowledge in medicine. The country is one of the world&rsquo;s biggest drug-makers and an increasing number of countries have already approached it for procuring coronavirus vaccines.
Dr Hotez, during a recent webinar, said that the two mRNA vaccines may not impact the world's low and middle income countries, but India&rsquo;s vaccines, made in collaboration with universities across the world such as BCM and the Oxford University, have &ldquo;rescued the world&rdquo; and its contributions must not be underestimated.
During the webinar, &ldquo;Covid-19: Vaccination and Potential Return to Normalcy - If and When&rdquo;, Dr Hotez, an internationally-recognised physician-scientist in neglected tropical diseases and vaccine development, said that the Covid-19 vaccine rollout is "India's gift' to the world in combating the virus.

A series of explosions at a military barracks in Equatorial Guinea killed at least 20 people and wounded more than 600 others on Sunday.
