About half of Italians over age 12 are fully vaccinated. The move comes as debate in Western countries heats up over how far governments should — or can — go in circumscribing the lives of the unvaccinated. A proposal in England to require proof of vaccination to enter nightclubs by September was met with a swift political backlash and may not move forward. ‘Breakthrough’ infections: While vaccines are effective at preventing serious illness and death, they are not a golden shield against the coronavirus.

Blinken. But the support of Western leaders goes only so far when a return to Belarus would mean certain imprisonment. Only months ago, hundreds of thousands of protesters took to the streets to demand the resignation of Alexander Lukashenko, the strongman leader of Belarus, in a rare democratic outburst. Opposition figures are now disappearing into prisons, and protests are dwindling. Quotable: “Now it’s impossible to fight openly,” Tikhanovskaya said. “It’s difficult to ask people to go out for demonstrations because of a sense of fear. They see the brutality of the regime, that the most outstanding leaders and prominent figures are in jail.
