UK researchers have found that Covid-19 infections in adults of all ages fell by 65% after a first dose of AstraZeneca or Pfizer vaccine. Scientists said these results show the real-world impact of the nation's immunisation campaign against the pandemic.
Crucially, the research was conducted at a time when a new and more infectious variant of the coronavirus was dominant in Britain. Data shows that vaccination was just as effective in elderly people and those with underlying health conditions as it was in the young and healthy.
Researchers have found that 21 days after a single dose of vaccine - with no second dose - rates of all new Cpvid-19 infections had dropped by 65%.

Canada has banned all flights from India and Pakistan for 30 days due to the growing wave of Covid-19. The ban came on a day India recorded world's biggest spike in infections with over 3.15 lakh new cases. Transportation Minister Omar Alghabra announced the ban citing increased Covid-19 cases detected in travelers arriving from these countries. The ban will not apply to cargo flights, the govt said, particularly to ensure the continued shipment of vaccines, personal protective equipment and other essential goods.
While India accounts for 20% of recent air travel to Canada, more than half of all positive tests at the border were from flights arriving from the country, the health ministry said.

Coronavirus, that has devastated the entire world, has now reached Everest base camp. Reports said that a climber, who was evacuated from the base camp on Wednesday, has tested positive for Covid-19. The New York Times has reported that in fact there had been multiple climbers who tested positive after being flown out of base camp. This is just weeks into the climbing season that symptoms of the virus have been found at Everest's base camp. Making matters even worse, many common coronavirus symptoms bear a close resemblance to the symptoms of altitude sickness and the "Khumbu cough" that often plagues climbers at high altitudes.

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.

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.

George Floyd's family members hugged each other tightly and shed tears of joy as the judge pronounced Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering him. "Say his name!" Floyd's relatives chanted as they entered the room, fists raised in the air.

"He changed the world," Floyd's girlfriend Courteney Ross said in an interview.
The Floyd family attorney, Ben Crump, cast the verdict as a critical moment in America's troubled history of race, policing and criminal justice.&nbsp;"We frame this moment for all of us, not just for George Floyd," he said.

President Joe Biden has said the conviction of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin in the killing of George Floyd &ldquo;can be a giant step forward" for the nation in the fight against systemic racism.
Biden spoke from the White House hours after the verdict alongside Vice President Kamala Harris, with the pair calling for Congress to act swiftly to address policing reform.
&ldquo;It's not enough," Biden said of the verdict. "We can't stop here.&rdquo; Biden spoke after telephoning Floyd's family, telling them, &ldquo;We're all so relieved.&rdquo; Before Tuesday's guilty verdicts were read out, Biden said he was praying for "the right verdict&rdquo; in the trial of Chauvin.
Floyd family attorney Ben Crump posted video on Twitter of a phone call from Biden and Harris to the 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.
