WHO: ‘Long COVID’ may obstruct return to normal life for 36 million Europeans
GENEVA — While no longer a global emergency, COVID-19’s lasting effects alongside such other threats as mpox and seasonal heat waves may challenge Europe through the summer months, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) regional office warned on Tuesday.This summer will be “the first in more than three years that many of us will enjoy without the looming threat of COVID-19”, but the life-threatening virus has not gone away completely, WHO’s regional director for Europe, Hans Kluge, told reporters at a virtual press conference from Copenhagen.Each week, the coronavirus causes at least 1,000 new deaths across the region, he said, outlining other health concerns at the start of the holiday season.Over the first three years of the global health emergency, 36 million people...

The focus in Kyiv in recent days has been the impact of the Wagner mercenary group's rebellion on the war
Countdown has begun to end of Putin, say Kyiv officials
KYIV — Attention in the Ukrainian capital has been fixed squarely on the mutiny of the Wagner Group, its leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, and its consequences for Vladimir Putin and the conduct of the war in Ukraine.The drama over the border in Russia has hardened the view in Kyiv that Mr Putin's time as Russia's president is coming to an end."I think the countdown has started," said Andriy Yermak, President Zelensky's closest adviser.At a briefing in Kyiv, he looked back to the year that Russia first invaded Ukraine, annexing the Crimean Peninsula."What Ukraine has seen since 2014 has become evident for the entire world," said Mr Yermak."This [Russia] is a terrorist country whose leader is an inadequate person who has lost connection with reality.

UK to work more closely with EU on financial services
LONDON — The UK has signed a pact with the EU to increase cooperation on financial services. It will set up a forum where the EU and UK can meet twice a year to discuss financial regulation and standards.The long-awaited move is being seen as a sign the UK is willing to work more closely with the EU.Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said building a constructive relationship was of mutual benefit, as the UK and EU financial markets were “deeply interconnected”.The memorandum of understanding that is being signed was first outlined in the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement, in the wake of the UK losing unfettered access to EU markets under Brexit.The text was published last month, and the memorandum itself amounts to a list of broad shared objectives.However, describing this as an...
