,1,Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un are sharing their “innermost thoughts” at a summit in North Korea, at which they have resolved to build “a new multi-polar world” and to unite against the US-led international order.

North Korea “fully supports” Russia’s war in Ukraine, Kim told Putin, who in turn thanked his host for his “consistent and unwavering support” after a warm greeting on the red carpet laid out for Putin’s arrival. It is the Russian leader’s first visit to North Korea for 24 years.
The pair will spend the day together in ceremonial events and face-to-face discussions in the course of which they are expected to sign a “comprehensive strategic partnership treaty”. It will formalise a friendship that has already resulted in North Korean munitions being fired by Russian troops on the battlefields of Ukraine.

Two Just Stop Oil protesters sprayed three stones of the 5,000-year-old monument with orange paint from canisters at about 11am, then sat down cross-legged in front of the stones.
The protesters are demanding that the new UK government commits to working with other governments to agree an equitable plan to end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and coal by 2030.

A packed room of House Republicans sang Happy Birthday to Donald Trump, who turns 78 on Friday, as he visited Capitol Hill for the first time since the rampage by a mob of his supporters after the 2020 election.
Trump set out his re-election plans to separate meetings of representatives and senators at a private venue near Congress, shunned by the remaining handful of members who oppose his return as their presidential candidate. Most of those who have stood up to Trump have been purged or resigned, creating a party of loyalists in Washington eager for his return in his rematch with Joe Biden in November.

The African National Congress looked likely to have a blunt choice of partners to retain control and potentially make kingmakers of populists such as Julius Malema, the leader of the Marxist Economic Freedom Fighters, or the party led by the ex-president Jacob Zuma.
The country’s currency, stocks and bonds fell on Thursday after early results put the ANC on 43.3 per cent, well short of a parliamentary majority, dividing opinion on where the party would go for support.

,1,Briahna Joy Gray and Robby Soave discuss a new Covid-19 study. #covid #coronavirus
According to the CDC, all COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age.
Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is also a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death, and we can’t reliably predict who will have mild or severe illness.
If you get sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others. You can also continue to have long-term health issues after COVID-19 infection. While COVID-19 vaccines are effective, studies have shown some declines in vaccine effectiveness against infections over time, especially when the Delta variant was circulating widely.
The mRNA vaccines do not contain any live virus. Instead, they work by teaching our cells to make a harmless piece of a “spike protein,” which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After making the protein piece, cells display it on their surface. Our immune system then recognizes that it does not belong there and responds to get rid of it. When an immune response begins, antibodies are produced, creating the same response that happens in a natural infection.
In contrast to mRNA vaccines, many other vaccines use a piece of, or weakened version of, the germ that the vaccine protects against. This is how the measles and flu vaccines work. When a weakened or small part of the virus is introduced to your body, you make antibodies to help protect against future infection.

While COVID-19 vaccines are effective, studies have shown some declines in vaccine effectiveness against infections over time, especially when the Delta variant was circulating widely. According to the CDC layered prevention strategies — like staying up to date on vaccines and wearing masks — can help prevent severe illness and reduce the potential for strain on the healthcare system.
Wear a mask with the best fit, protection, and comfort for you. If you are in an area with a high COVID-19 Community Level and are ages 2 or older, wear a well-fitting mask indoors in public.
If you are sick and need to be around others, or are caring for someone who has COVID-19, wear a mask.
If you are at increased risk for severe illness, or live with or spend time with someone at higher risk, speak to your healthcare provider about wearing a mask at medium COVID-19 Community Levels.
In April 2021, increased cases of myocarditis and pericarditis were reported in the United States after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna). Data from multiple studies show a rare risk for myocarditis and/or pericarditis following receipt of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. These rare cases of myocarditis or pericarditis have occurred most frequently in adolescent and young adult males, ages 16 years and older, within 7 days after receiving the second dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna).
There has not been a similar reporting pattern observed after receipt of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine (Johnson & Johnson). CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 6 months of age and older.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and CDC have determined that the benefits (such as prevention of COVID-19 cases and its severe outcomes) outweigh the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis after receipt of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
