    EU RESERVES 200 MILLION MORE CORONAVIRUS VACCINES: The European Commission (EU) announced Wednesday it has reached a deal with a sixth pharmaceutical firm, this time BioNTech-Pfizer, to reserve a further 200 million doses of a potential coronavirus vaccine. "Our chances to develop and deploy a safe and effective vaccine have never been higher, both for Europeans here at home, or for the rest of the world," European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said. "To defeat coronavirus anywhere, we need to defeat it everywhere." Brussels has previously signed deals with Sanofi-GSK, Johnson & Johnson, Curevac, Moderna and with AstraZeneca to be ready to procure doses quickly if and when any of the companies develop a safe and effective coronavirus vaccine.

    60 BRIDGES, 2,000 HOUSES WRECKED BY TYPHOON IN NORTH KOREA: A typhoon that struck North Korea wrecked nearly 60 bridges and destroyed or inundated more than 2,000 houses, state media reported Wednesday, with leader Kim Jong Un saying the damage had disrupted central planning for the rest of the year. Typhoon Maysak brought days of heavy downpours to the country's east coast last week even as the North was still reeling from earlier flooding and typhoon damage, and this week it was followed by Typhoon Haishen. | North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un inspects an unspecified area, after North Korea was affected by Typhoon Maysak Image Credit: Reuters

    Oil
    OIL EXTENDS DECLINE: Oil futures fell again on Wednesday after a sharp slide in the previous session, as a rebound in COVID-19 cases in some countries undermined hopes for a steady recovery in global demand. Brent crude was down 19 cents, or 0.5%, at $39.59 a barrel by 0656 GMT after dropping more than 5% on Tuesday to fall below $40 a barrel for the first time since June. US crude was down 24 cents, or 0.7%, at $36.52 a barrel, having fallen nearly 8% in the previous session. Both major oil benchmarks are trading at around three-month lows. https://gn24.ae/a7391bb5e0dd000 Image Credit: AFP

    RUSSIA URGES GERMANY TO SHARE NAVALNY'S MEDICAL INFORMATION: Russia's foreign ministry on Wednesday urged Germany to share Alexei Navalny's medical information after the Kremlin critic's suspected poisoning last month, and accused Berlin of slowing this process down. In a statement, the foreign ministry said not having this information prevents Russia's law enforcement agencies from establishing what happened after Navalny collapsed on a domestic Russian flight after drinking a cup of tea that his allies said was poisoned. https://gn24.ae/a738f0e63e88000 Image Credit: Reuters
