Trump meets Kim for the 3rd time, this time in N Korea

US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Sunday met at the Demilitarized Zone and shook hands. This is the third time that the two leaders have come face to face after their first historic Summit last June in Singapore, which was followed by another in Hanoi, Vietnam, this February. With no time for backroom diplomacy, the meeting is expected to be largely a photo opportunity. However, it will be seen as a sign of their ongoing commitment to the denuclearisation talks.

Monday's parade will pass through Jerusalem's Old City, part of east Jerusalem, which was captured and annexed by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. The march was approved amid ongoing clashes between police and Palestinians in the Old City, the emotional epicenter of the long-running conflict, and in a nearby Arab neighborhood where Jewish settlers are trying to evict dozens of Palestinians from their homes.
Before dawn Sunday, thousands of Muslim worshippers clashed with police at the gates of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City.&nbsp;

A string of lights was seen tossing across the night sky in parts of the US on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which left people wondering if a fleet of UFOs was coming.

A string of lights was seen tossing across the night sky in parts of the US over the last few days, leaving people to wonder if a fleet of UFOs was coming.
Callers swamped TV stations from Texas to Wisconsin reporting the lights and musing about UFOs.
However, the train of lights was actually a series of relatively low-flying satellites launched by Tesla CEO Elon Musk&rsquo;s SpaceX as part of its Starlink internet service earlier this week.
Astronomy experts said the number of lights in quick succession and their distance from Earth made them easily identifiable as Starlink satellites.
Both amateur stargazers and professional astronomers&nbsp;lamented the industrialization of space.

Most of the debris was burnt up upon re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere, the China Manned Space Engineering Office said.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledged that the virus that causes Covid-19 is airborne and can be transmitted through respiratory fluids.
The CDC updated its public guidelines and mentioned that respiratory fluid during exhalation creates droplets across sizes. These droplets carry the virus and transmit infection.
The acknowledgement from CDC comes nearly a month after a paper was published in The Lancet journal claiming that the SARS-CoV-2 is airborne.

A bomb exploded near a girls' school in Afghanistan's capital city Kabul on Saturday, leaving at least around 50 people dead and more than 150 injured. Several young students between 11 and 15 years old died in the explosion.

Prince Misuzulu Zulu &ndash; the eldest son of South Africa&rsquo;s late Zulu king Goodwill Zwelithini and his more recently deceased regent queen &ndash; has been designated heir to the monarchy amid a turbulent succession battle.
Misuzulu Zulu, whose name means &ldquo;strengthening the Zulus&rdquo;, was named heir in the last will of his deceased mother and queen.&nbsp;
Chaos ensued after the televised reading when the new successor&rsquo;s brother, Prince Thokozani, stood up to voice an opinion. He was quickly shouted down by family members at the royal palace in coastal KwaZulu Natal province, and the newly named heir was then whisked away by heavily armed security.

An &ldquo;out-of-control&rdquo; giant Chinese rocket is expected to re-enter the Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere on Saturday, the US Space Command has said. The report said that "its exact entry point into the Earth's atmosphere cannot be pinpointed until within hours of its re-entry".
The Chinese Long March 5B rocket will possibly splash down in the ocean. The rocket&rsquo;s design is such that it cannot be manoeuvred or controlled.
According to reports, a large part of the debris that will crash back to Earth is roughly 100 feet long and weighs over 20,000 kg, making it one of the longest debris to ever fall on the earth.
The crash is likely to happen between latitudes 41.5 degrees north, which runs through North America, Southern Europe, and China, and 41.5 degrees south, which falls in South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.
China has maintained that the falling rocket is unlikely to cause any damage.

UK health officials on Friday labelled a coronavirus variant first found in India a &ldquo;variant of concern&rdquo;. The UK govt has said it appeared to spread at least as readily as the one they found last year, which went on to trigger new waves of Covid-19 and force several countries into lockdown.
As per the latest genome sequencing data shared by Indian labs with the global repository GISAID - B.1.617.1 and B.1.617.2 accounted for 58% of all samples submitted in the last 30 days, the Hindustan Times has reported.
Public Health England on Friday announced it has found the Indian variant to have spread in Britain in a way similar to the early days of B.1.1.7, which is now known as the UK variant.

The world's largest cargo plane left Belfast in Northern Ireland on Friday, carrying three 18-tonne oxygen generators and 1,000 ventilators. The consignment is part of the UK's latest response to India's Covid-19 crisis, the British government said.
The Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office, which has funded to supplies, said airport staff worked through the night to load the life-saving kit aboard. The massive Antonov 124 aircraft is expected to land in Delhi on Sunday morning after which the Indian Red Cross will help transfer them to hospitals.
Each of the three oxygen generation units - the size of 40 foot freight containers - produces 500 litres of oxygen per minute, enough for 50 people to use at a time.

The World Health Organization on Friday approved the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use, paving the way for poorer nations to get more vaccines that can help tackle the pandemic.
Sinopharm's vaccine is also the first Chinese jab to receive the WHO's approval. The UN health agency signed off on the two-dose vaccine, which is already being deployed in dozens of countries around the world. Besides China, it is being used in Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Hungary, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Peru, the United Arab Emirates, Serbia and Seychelles, among others.
An emergency use approval by the WHO means the vaccine can be included in Covax, the World Health Organization&rsquo;s global initiative that is designed to promote equitable vaccine distribution around the world.
Though the Sinopharm vaccine is already in widespread use around the world with an estimated 65 million doses administered, its developers have released only limited information about the vaccine&rsquo;s efficiency and side effects.

In UK, most adults under the age of 40 will be given an alternative to the Oxford-AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine due to a link with rare blood clots. The country&rsquo;s medicines safety regulator said there have been 242 clotting cases and 49 deaths, with 28.5 million doses of the vaccine administered.
However, the risk is slightly higher in younger age groups. The risk of a clot is roughly one in 100,000 for people in their 40s, but rises to one in 60,000 for people in their 30s. Two in a million people in their 40s died rising to four per million people in their 30s.
The supply of alternative vaccines, including Pfizer and Moderna, has made the decision possible.
