The Director-general, World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said that a vaccine will not by itself stop the coronavirus pandemic.
The pandemic raging months, after it broke out, with infections soaring past 54 million and claiming more than 1.3 million lives.
He said the vaccine will complement other tools but cannot replace them.
The WHO said that 660,905 coronavirus cases were reported to the UN health agency, setting a new high watermark.
Tedros therefore, said that supplies of the vaccine will initially be restricted, with health workers, older people and other at-risk to be prioritized.
Adding that this will hopefully reduce the number of deaths and enable the health systems to cope.
He said Surveillance will need to be continue, people will still need to be tested, isolated, and cared for, contacts will still need to be traced and individuals will still need to be cared for.


Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Cultural Affairs Muhadjir Effendy has underscored the strategic role doctors and health workers have in advancing human resource development programmes in Indonesia.
In a recent statement, he stressed their importance in fostering mentally and physically healthy people, which in turn will improve the productivity of the organisations they work for.
Effendy noted that government efforts to develop a “golden, quality generation” require strong health conditions from an early stage.
Improving health among individuals aged 15 to 64 was crucial for their active participation in national development, making the role of doctors and health workers vital.
Effendy urged them to create innovative breakthroughs to support human resource development through sustainable health programmes.
He also encouraged medical professionals to contribute to the ongoing national health transformation, which aims to create a robust national health system for the welfare and health of the nation.

Macquarie and its partners have stated that the cash offer of $4.50 per share will still stand, but that the group will accept 70 per cent approval from shareholders rather than the 90 per cent that it had initially sought.

Pointing out the Rs 35,000 crore provided in 2021-22 Union Budget for the Covid-19 vaccination programme, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister K. Palaniswami said the Central government can purchase and supply the vaccine to the states.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the text of which was released to the media here, Palaniswami said the Central government’s new policy that states have to procure Covid-19 vaccines from the manufacturers is unfair since it places a higher financial burden on the states.
Citing the Rs 35,000 crore budgetary provision, he said states have a legitimate expectation that the Centre would supply the Covid-19 for vaccination phase 3.
“It is also iniquitous since the state governments have considerably less fiscal resources at their command than the Central government,” Palaniswami told Modi in the letter.
“Further, the Government of India could also explore alternative sources of supply of vaccine including possible imports to ensure that the vaccine roll out takes place across the country smoothly and expeditiously in the coming weeks,” Palaniswami added.

New Delhi: Upping its ante against the government over the controversial farm Bills, the Youth Congress on Thursday took out a ‘Mashaal Juloos’ (torch rally) saying the party will always stand by the 60 crore farmers against the “black laws” and it will support all the organisations fighting for the farmers’ rights.
Hundreds of Indian Youth Congress activists led by its chief Srinivas B.V. and national incharge Krishna Allavaru started the torch rally from Raisina Road to India Gate. However, the Delhi Police stopped the torch rally before India Gate. Speaking to media, Allavaru said, “Prime Minister Narendra Modi before coming to power in 2014 had promised two crore jobs to youths every year and double the income of the farmers. But now the government has brought the black laws to snatch the lands of the farmers.”
Accusing the government of being anti-farmer, Srinivas said that Youth Congress will stand with 60 crore farmers of the country and will fight the government to force it to withdraw the “anti-farmer” laws.
He also said that now the farmers will not be hoodwinked by the false promises of the Modi government and will fight for their rights on the streets of the country.
“The government talked about providing jobs and the upliftment of farmers, but with the anti-farmer black laws, the government is on the verge of making India farmer-free,” he said.
He also said that IYC will support all those organisation which will fight for the farmers’ rights.
On Wednesday also the IYC had taken out tractor rally from Panipat to New Delhi. The tractor rally, however, was stopped by the Haryana Police in Panipat’s Samalkha and hundreds of Youth Congress activits were detained.
The Congress has also planned nationwide agitations and programmes against the controversial farm Bills passed in Rajya Sabha on Sunday. The Congress has announced to collect two crore signatures of farmers from across the country by November 14 that it will submit to President Ram Nath Kovind asking him to not give his assent to the Bills.

Holness said that while he acknowledges that all the people who have been affected are important, he shares a heightened sense of betrayal that a national icon who has brought pride and honour to his nation was also among those who were fleeced of their investments.
In his address, the head of state spoke with confidence, saying that all the government entities that are required to have the matter resolved and see that justice is served have been mobilized and are aware of how urgent the matter is. He communicated that having read the report, he was satisfied that the entities understood the need to be lucid with their investigation and that they were moving as thoroughly as possible to ease the suffering of the victims.
He went on to say that the investigators were working hard to find the perpetrator(s) of the incident as well as anyone else who may have helped them commit the heinous crime. He detailed that based on what he saw in the report, he was happy that the relevant authorities were all working cohesively to get to the bottom of the investigation and to track the funds that have been taken from the victims or assets that may have been purchased by it.
The minister tried to put the minds of the public and the affected investors at ease by stating that the investigating bodies and prosecutorial agencies that are on the case are extremely capable. He also expressed that the investigative and prosecutorial agencies are equipped with all the resources they need and have already begun to make meaningful strides in gathering information and evidence. He also conveyed that no one and nothing will be spared in uncovering the full extent of the damage that has been done to the victims involved and in bringing the culprits to justice.
Minister Holness reassured the Jamaican citizens that there was no need to doubt the strength and stability of Jamaica’s financial system, based on the results they have seen in the tremendous reforms implemented over the past two decades, which the public can put their faith in. He made note that, in the region, Jamaica has the edge of being the leading financial market, which is a source of immense competitiveness that the country can use to its advantage.
He also explained that Jamaicans, both locally and abroad, should have no fear that the government will be driven in its efforts to ensure increased accountability and integrity in carrying out public functions, as well as ensuring that the implemented rules that govern the financial sector are always effectively strengthening the sector while protecting the people’s investment. He reiterated the fact that he understands the hurt that the public is feeling regarding the matter, but he encouraged the public not to fuel widespread panic through baseless assumptions, given the potentially complex nature of the matter.
Holness, in his address, indicated that the finance minister would be giving updates on strategies that have been devised and some of which have already taken effect to curtail the issues. He also reminded the public that, because of some legal limitations, investigators and prosecutors will not always be able to address some public assertions immediately. With that being said, he took the opportunity to urge the public not to always rely on unconfirmed information released in the public domain.
Holness stated that they are aware of persons who may have unscrupulous agendas to create instability in the country’s financial market to benefit themselves, and for that reason, he has yearned for the involved agencies to be completely transparent in their investigations. This is the only way to keep the public confidence in the system.
Finally, PM Holness stated that the government will ensure that legislation and systems work for the general public’s benefit and that justice is served for those who have been harmed.

Bipartisan political support labelled 'vital' in inquiry
DESPITE calls for true bipartisan support for a referendum on the constitutional recognition of local government, both major parties have pointed the finger at the other to take action.
A parliamentary inquiry into the issue released a preliminary report yesterday, calling for the referendum to be completed this year.
While the recommendation was on the basis that both major parties had to come out in support of the proposal, both Federal Local Government Minister Simon Crean and his Coalition counterpart Senator Barnaby Joyce have put the onus on the opposite side of politics.
In evidence it gave to the inquiry last week, the Australian Local Government Association said bipartisan political support was vital to the success of a vote on recognition of council in the constitution.
While Mr Crean said the government was already engaging with the states and territories on the issue, he called on the Coalition to lobby states and "get behind constitutional recognition".
Similarly, Senator Joyce said that while it was vitally important local government was given the support needed to deliver essential services, he awaited Mr Crean's official response and "the vigour by which he pursues them".
Mr Crean said it was also essential the ALGA be active in lobbying state and territory government to ensure the referendum goes ahead, despite the peak council association already gaining majority approval from the second tier of government.
In evidence given to the inquiry last week, ALGA representatives said they had been lobbying for the change since 2007.
But the association was also concerned the federal election could jeopardise the chance of a successful yes vote on the issue in 2013.
Mr Crean said the government's official response to the inquiry would be forthcoming.


New Taipei City Mayor Eric Chu said that the ruling Kuomintang (KMT) party needs to reflect on public discontent and lead the country forward.
President Ma Ying-jeou has asked the mayors of Taipei, New Taipei City and Taichung to become deputy chairmen of the KMT. The president has asked them to take on this position so that they can inform him about public sentiment. There have been waves of protests lately on issues such as low wages, the fourth nuclear power plant, and a trade pact with China.
In an interview on Friday, New Taipei City Eric Chu spoke about how the party should respond to recent protests. "We need to reflect. In recent years, there has been a big gap between what the public wants and what the KMT has been doing," said Chu. "So we hope that our party can consolidate the central and local governments, the executive and legislative branches and public opinion to bring Taiwan forward. Recently we’ve seen constant protests and it’s been disturbing the public. We hope that we can all work together to bring Taiwan forward to pursue what Taiwan wants."
Taichung Mayor Jason Hu also said on Friday that the president needs to have a better understanding of public sentiment.

We know that there are a lot of people that have grown up with no training or help on how to manage their money. This is something that we feel needs changing and that is why we put together this website. We decided that it would be a good idea to present some information to help people think more about their finances. We hope that, by learning a bit, it will encourage people to think more about money and how they can change some of the things that they do which will help them. We also hope that once they have worked through the website and thought about what they might change in the future, that they will want to learn more. We believe that knowing as much as you can about money is the key to managing it more easily. We realise that there are people that find that dull but we hope that we can provide lots of motivation by explaining the importance of knowing more, that it will encourage a lot of people to do more learning and therefore to understand the importance of the financial decisions they are making and how to make sure that they give them enough thought.


Year 9 students at Ilim College in Dallas have raised more than $13,000 to help build four wells in developing countries.
The 100 students have spent the past seven weeks collecting donations from local businesses such as Coles, Woolworths and Aldi, as well as running sausage sizzles and bake sales.
The $13,200 they have raised will be donated to Campbellfield-based charity Hasene to use to build wells, costing $3300 each, in Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Kenya.
Selin, who was one of the students leading the project, said it had helped increase student awareness of the importance of helping others.
“Being able to help other people makes us feel proud of ourselves,” he said. “We know that we are helping out those in need.”

Campus principal Zeyneb Sertel said the fundraiser had taught the students to help those in need.
“It is important for them to learn to give back to the community at this age and to understand the conditions in other countries,” she said.

New Delhi, Sep 26 (IANS) To provide relief and improve people's experience while availing passport related services, the External Affairs Ministry has decided to include the facility to apply for police clearance certificates (PCCs) at all online Post Office Passport Seva Kendras (POPSKs) across the country from September 28 onwards.
This step has been taken to address the unanticipated surge in demand for PCCs, the ministry said in a statement. This would also significantly add to the availability of PCC appointments slots and that too at an earlier date.
Extending the PCC application facility to POPSKs would not only help Indian citizens seeking employment abroad, but also meet the demand for other PCC requirements, such as in the case of education, long term visa, emigration etc.

‘Extraordinary Rendition’ on Trial
An Italian judge has decided to go forward with the first criminal trial of extraordinary rendition. Twenty-six Americans and five Italians — including the former head of military intelligence — have been indicted and ordered to stand trial for the abduction of an Egyptian cleric who was detained and allegedly tortured in Cairo.
Wait, before you go…
Osama Mustafa Hassan was allegedly seized by the CIA and flown to Egypt, where he says he was tortured.
Five Italians were also indicted by the judge, including Italy’s ex-military intelligence chief, Nicolo Pollari.
The case would be the first criminal trial over the secret US practice known as “extraordinary rendition”.
During rendition, people suspected of involvement in terror activities are taken from one country and flown to another, where many claim they are tortured.

NFL says 87.9 percent of players have had at least one shot of COVID-19 vaccine
NFL players are doing a better job than the country as a whole of getting vaccinated.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said today that 87.9 percent of NFL players have had at least one shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. The United States as a whole is closer to 70 percent of adults with at least one shot.

Everyone should get the vaccine because it’s safe and effective, but the 12.1 percent of NFL players who haven’t had a shot yet should also do it to help their teams.

New DOJ views on private prisons, bail show reform trend
“We’re going to see a trend because there isn’t a lot happening in Congress,” said Arthur Rizer, director of criminal justice policy at R Street Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington. “Because nothing is happening, you’ll see more happening in agencies.”
If Congress doesn’t pass its planned reform bills in September, agencies will continue acting, Rizer said. That’s because criminal justice reform is a mostly bipartisan issue, Rizer said.
However, it’s possible that the announcements move some lawmakers who have been on the fence about federal criminal justice reform, Rizer added.
“It tells them, ‘If we don’t do something, the administration is going to do something,’” he said.
