One hundred percent of the United Arab Emirates’ population has received at least one dose of a vaccine against Covid-19, the health ministry has said. The announcement late Friday came amid growing global concern over a new Covid variant dubbed Omicron that was first detected by South Africa. The World Health Organization said the new variant is more infectious than the dominant, highly transmissible Delta strain, and several countries, including the UAE, have restricted travel from a number of south African countries. A total of 21,802,032 doses” of Covid vaccine have been administered in the Gulf Arab nation.

The Chinese army has carried out a “naval and air force combat readiness patrol” near the Taiwan Strait following a contentious visit to the island by a group of American lawmakers, a spokesperson said. Tensions between Beijing and Washington have soared over the fate of democratic self-ruled Taiwan, which China has vowed to one day retake, by force if necessary. A group of American lawmakers arrived on the island Thursday offering support for the Taiwanese authorities, who Beijing accuses of seeking independence for the island. In response, the Chinese army on Friday carried out “a naval and air force combat readiness patrol in the direction of the Taiwan Strait,” a spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command said in a statement.

 

 

Two students, driver killed in Kosovo bus shooting

A gunman opened fire late Friday on a bus in Kosovo carrying school students, killing a boy and a girl and the driver, police said. Another 14 year-old student was wounded but is in stable condition, Skender Dreshaj, the head of a nearby local hospital told the state-run RTK television channel. According to local media, the shooter was wearing a mask and carried an AK-47. The bus was packed with children returning from school, the head of Gllogjan village Mustafa Selmani told RTK. The motives for the shooting were unclear. Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani condemned the attack and called the police to find the perpetrators as soon as possible and bring them to justice. “Attacking bus with students is a blow to our security and order.” Osmani said on Facebook.
