'Remove me if you can': Nepal PM KP Oli challenges Prachanda

Nepal's embattled Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli on Sunday challenged the ruling Nepal Communist Party's splinter faction led by Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' to remove him from the top post if he can.

Oli is under pressure to step down following the court verdict anulling his decision to dissolve the House.

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.

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.

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 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.
The question in this regard was asked twice on Monday -- once during the morning White House briefing on CovidD-19 and later during the daily news conference by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

Britain on Monday added India to its Covid-19 travel 'red list'. This effectively bans all travel from India and makes a 10-day hotel quarantine compulsory for UK residents arriving back to the country.

People who have had Covid-19 may need just one dose of the anti-virus vaccine unlike double dose for those who were never infected. A new study has found that those who had recovered from Covid-19 responded to their first shot so robustly that the results rivaled never-infected colleagues who had received both shots. In fact, if you already had the virus, your immune response after one vaccine is likely to be even better than a never-infected person's after two, according to an Italian research just out in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Since February, several European countries -- including France, Spain, Italy and Germany -- have adopted policies giving Covid survivors just one dose of the two-dose vaccines.

The US cleared the 50 per cent mark for adults just a day after the reported global death toll from the coronavirus topped a staggering 3 million, according to totals compiled by Johns Hopkins University, though the actual number is believed to be significantly higher.
