But experts question whether its commitment is sufficient, and whether it can persuade other nations to meet meaningful goals. ‘It seems like an irony’: Biden called for a dramatic reduction in the use of oil, gas and coal.

Such a loss would wipe out almost the entire population of Barcelona, Spain, or most of the nation of New Zealand. The real number of people lost to Covid-19 could be as high as twice the reported figure, experts say. Countries like India are unable to accurately record deaths from the virus, while researchers have [questioned the veracity of data](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjY1kzP4QAAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDkvMjQvd29ybGQvcnVzc2lhLWNvdmlkLWRlYXRocy12YWNjaW5lLWhlc2l0YW5jeS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTUxJmVtYz1lZGl0X21iZV8yMDIxMTEwMiZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD00NDM1OCZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJTNBLWV1cm9wZS1lZGl0aW9uJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD03MzI3MSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYXsz1IBhSq0zXlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) from other countries, like Russia. The U.S. has reported the highest number of deaths, with more than 745,000 confirmed in total, followed by Brazil, India, Mexico and Russia. Globally, around 7,000 new deaths are recorded per day, down from a peak of about 10,000 in August. Vaccine success: The pace of confirmed deaths seems to have slowed slightly since the world reached four million in early July, despite the rapid spread of the Delta variant since then — a sign that the spread of vaccines could be having an impact, at least in some parts of the world.

Staley also agreed to give up his position on the board, the bank said in a statement. It noted that the investigation did not find that the executive “saw, or was aware of, any of Mr. Epstein’s alleged crimes.” He will be succeeded as chief executive by C.S. Venkatakrishnan, Barclays’s co-president and head of global markets. Staley was one of many powerful businessmen to associate with Epstein and who have since denied knowledge of his misconduct. Epstein played a crucial role in Staley’s ascent, including connecting him with future employers. The two maintained a relationship even after Epstein’s 2008 plea, and Staley visited Epstein after his conviction. Details: Barclays learned of the preliminary conclusions of the inquiry on Friday. British regulators declined to provide any details about what their inquiry had found, saying in a joint statement that they “do not comment on ongoing investigations or regulatory proceedings.” THE LATEST NEWS Around the World Pius Utomi Ekpei/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images - At least four people were killed and as many as 100 feared trapped after [a building collapsed at a construction site](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjY1kzP0T8aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8xMS8wMS93b3JsZC9hZnJpY2EvbmlnZXJpYS1idWlsZGluZy1jb2xsYXBzZS0uaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMTExMDImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NDQzNTgmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NzMyNzEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmF7M9SAYUqtM15SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) in Lagos, Nigeria. - Egypt is poised to pass legislation that will [strengthen the hand of the country’s authoritarian government](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjY1kzP0T9aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8xMS8wMS93b3JsZC9taWRkbGVlYXN0L2VneXB0LXNlY3VyaXR5LW1pbGl0YXJ5Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjExMTAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTQ0MzU4Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTczMjcxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgphezPUgGFKrTNeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). - Pakistan reopened a key national highway yesterday that had been occupied by supporters of a militant Islamist group, following a [secret pact between the government and the group](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjY1kzP4QCAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMTEvMDEvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9wYWtpc3Rhbi1wcm90ZXN0cy1uZWdvdGlhdGlvbnMtdGxwLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTEmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJlXzIwMjExMTAyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTQ0MzU4Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtZXVyb3BlLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTczMjcxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgphezPUgGFKrTNeUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

It is not the first time in recent memory that a pandemic has made South Africans face their collective mortality. The coronavirus has turned our world upside down for less than two years, but H.I.V./AIDS shook South Africa’s foundation for more than a decade. Lessons from that earlier pandemic have helped to inform South Africa’s fight against Covid-19. Many of the scientists who have led the country’s Covid response were the same faces we saw trying to make sense of H.I.V./AIDS. The coronavirus pandemic has also primed South African society to more readily accept a science-based response. Misinformation is still common, but not as widespread as it was two decades ago, when the nation’s health minister suggested that fruit and vegetables could be used to treat AIDS. “With H.I.V., there was no political will,” said Sibongile Tshabalala, the chairwoman of a group that lobbied for access to H.I.V./AIDS drugs. She said that this time the government had worked hard to acquire Covid-19 vaccines, with limited but tangible success. The pace at which vaccines have arrived has been reassuring. About 21 percent of South Africans and fewer than 6 percent of Africans [have been fully vaccinated](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRjY1kzP0TYaHR0cHM6Ly9hZnJpY2FjZGMub3JnL2NvdmlkLTE5LXZhY2NpbmF0aW9uLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01MSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9tYmVfMjAyMTExMDImaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9NDQzNTgmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1ldXJvcGUtZWRpdGlvbiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NzMyNzEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmF7M9SAYUqtM15SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) — a slow rollout compared with some regions, but the Covid vaccines arrived faster than antiretroviral drugs did in Africa during the H.I.V./AIDS pandemic.
