Covid-19: We were not soft on China - WHO

Newsday

Available for over a year

The head of the World Health Organization in China has told the BBC he refuses to accept that his agency has been too soft in highlighting Beijing's shortcomings over the coronavirus outbreak. The mayor of Daegu -- the South Korean city worst hit by coronavirus -- says the outbreak is showing signs of slowing down. A trial is about to begin in the Netherlands of four men accused of murdering 298 people aboard a Malaysian Airlines jet that was shot down in 2014 over a pro-Russia region of Ukraine.
