UN counts economic consequences of Covid-19

Newsday

Available for over a year

The world economy has been battered by the Covid-19 pandemic - estimated so far to have been reduced by $2.4 trillion dollars. European citizens face a deadline as they apply for settled status in the UK - one of the consequences for Britain leaving the EU - and many claim they are being left in limbo by the UK government. In the former British colony of Hong Kong people consider the changes in the Chinese territory one year on from the national security law being imposed.
