Covid outbreak a great disaster, says Kim Jong-un

Image
North Korea's rapidly spreading Covid-19 outbreak is a "great disaster" for the country, its leader Kim Jong-un has said, according to state media. Mr Kim called for an all-out battle to tackle the spread of the virus during an emergency meeting on Saturday. It comes after officials announced the first confirmed cases on Thursday - although experts believe the virus has likely been circulating for some time. There are fears a major outbreak could have dire consequences in North Korea. Its population of 25 million is vulnerable due to the lack of a vaccination programme and poor healthcare system. And on Saturday, state media reported that there had been half a million cases of unexplained fever in recent weeks. The country has limited testing capabilities so most Covid cases are not confirmed. That figure marked a major increase on the numbers given on both Friday and Thursday, potentially providing some indication of the scale of North Korea's outbreak. The spread of...

China reports three dead in latest Covid outbreak

Image
China has reported the deaths of three people from Covid in Shanghai for the first time since the financial hub entered lockdown in late March. A release from the city health commission said the victims were aged between 89 and 91 and unvaccinated. Shanghai officials said only 38% of residents over 60 are fully vaccinated. The city is now due to enter another round of mass testing, which means a strict lockdown will continue into a fourth week for most residents. Until now, China had maintained that no-one died of Covid in the city - a claim that has increasingly come into question. Monday's deaths were also the first Covid-linked fatalities to be officially acknowledged by authorities in the entire country since March 2020. Firstly because, up to this point, it was a miraculous stretch of credulity to think that no-one in a city of almost 25 million people had succumbed to this wave of the virus. But second, and more importantly, we know that people HAVE already died after contrac...

Цредит Суиссе пориче да је починио прекршај након великог цурења банкарских података

Image
Цредит Суиссе се огласио након што је масовно цурење података извело на видело скривено богатство неколико клијената банке. Подаци о више од 18.000 банковних рачуна, на којима се налази више од 100 милијарди долара (73,6 милијарди фунти), процурили су у немачки лист Зидојче цајтунг од стране узбуњивача. Укључује личне, заједничке и корпоративне рачуне, као и оне отворене још 1940-их. Скоро 50 медијских организација провело је месеце проучавајући податке. У својим истрагама сугеришу да су пронашли доказе да су рачуне Цредит Суиссе користили клијенти умешани у озбиљне злочине као што су прање новца или трговина дрогом. Међутим, швајцарска банка је одбацила те наводе у саопштењу у недељу, рекавши да снажно одбацује наводе и инсинуације о наводним пословним праксама банке или недостатку дужне пажње. Представљена питања су претежно историјска, у неким случајевима датирају још из 1940-их, а прикази ових ствари су засновани на делимичним, нетачним или селективним информацијама извученим из ко...
