The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) says he hopes the coronavirus pandemic will be over in under two years. Speaking in Geneva on Friday, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said the Spanish flu of 1918 took two years to overcome. But he added that current advances in technology could enable the world to halt the virus "in a shorter time". "Of course with more connectiveness, the virus has a better chance of spreading," he said. "But at the same time, we have also the technology to stop it, and the knowledge to stop it," he noted, stressing the importance of "national unity, global solidarity". The deadly flu of 1918 killed at least 50 million people. The coronavirus has so far killed almost 800,000 people and infected 22.7 million more. Dr Tedros also responded to a question about corruption relating to personal protective equipment (PPE) during the pandemic, which he described as "criminal". "Any type of corruption is unacceptable," he answered. "However, corruption related to PPE... for me it's actually murder. Because if health workers work without PPE, we're risking their lives. And that also risks the lives of the people they serve." Although the question related to allegations of corruption in South Africa, a number of countries have faced similar issues. On Friday, protests were held in the Kenyan capital Nairobi over alleged graft during the pandemic, while doctors from a number of the city's public hospitals went on strike over unpaid wages and a lack of protective equipment. The same day, the head of the WHO's health emergencies programme warned that the scale of the coronavirus outbreak in Mexico was "clearly under-recognised". Dr Mike Ryan said the equivalent of around three people per 100,000 were being tested in Mexico, compared to about 150 per 100,000 people in the US. Mexico has the third highest number of deaths in the world, with almost 60,000 fatalities recorded since the pandemic began, according to Johns Hopkins University. In the US, meanwhile, Democratic nominee Joe Biden has attacked President Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic. "Our current president's failed in his most basic duty to the nation. He's failed to protect us. He's failed to protect America," Mr Biden said, and pledged to introduce a national mandate to wear masks if elected. More than 1,000 new deaths were announced in the US on Friday, bringing the total number of fatalities to 173,490. What's happening elsewhere? On Friday, a number of countries announced their highest numbers of new cases in months. South Korea recorded 324 new cases - its highest single-day total since March. As with its previous outbreak, the new infections have been linked to churches, and museums, nightclubs and karaoke bars have now been closed in and around the capital Seoul in response. A number of European countries are also seeing rises. Poland and Slovakia both announced record new daily infections on Friday, with 903 and 123 cases respectively, while Spain and France have seen dramatic increases in recent days. In Lebanon, a two-week partial lockdown - including a night-time curfew - has come into effect as the country saw its highest number of cases since the pandemic began. Infections have doubled since a devastating blast in the capital Beirut killed at least 178 people and injured thousands more on 4 August. The disaster left an estimated 300,000 people homeless and placed massive strain on medical facilities.

Thai police have arrested nine people in a sweep targeting activists involved in recent anti-government protests. Among the nine was lawyer Anon Nampa, who was charged over a protest at which he called for reform of the monarchy. Thailand's monarchy has long been shielded from criticism under strict lese-majeste and other laws. But in recent weeks, students and other activists have taken to the streets to call for reforms of the institution. Mr Anon, 36, was the first to openly break the taboo earlier this month, calling for reform at a Harry Potter-themed protest in Bangkok. Among the others detained after Mr Anon were activists Baramee Chairat, Suwanna Tarnlek and Korakot Saengyenpanm, and a po[CENSORED]r rapper, Dechatorn Bamroongmuang from the group Rap for Democracy, who performed at the July protest at Bangkok's Democracy Monument. They have been charged with sedition and could face prison sentences of up to seven years. Activists said they had seen a police list of 20 more facing possible arrest in the near future. The protesters are demanding dissolution of the government headed by Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha, a former army chief who seized power in a 2014 military coup and returned as the country's civilian premier after a controversial election last year. Extraordinary shift to monarchy The anti-government rallies took an unprecedented turn earlier this month when they began to include calls for reform to the monarchy. Thais are taught to respect, revere and love the monarchy, but also to fear the consequences of speaking about it. Insulting the monarchy in Thailand can mean up to 15 years in jail under the kingdom's lese-majeste law. The use of this legislation has slowed in recent years as Thai King Vajiralongkorn has let it be known he no longer wants it so widely used. But observers say the government has used other legal routes to target dissent, including the sedition law. Mr Anon's arrest on Wednesday saw him charged with sedition for a second time this month. He was earlier arrested over the July rally with another activist, Panupong Jaadnok. This latest arrest is over the Harry Potter-themed protest that took place in Bangkok on 3 August, where Mr Anon had stressed that he wanted to reform, not overthrow, the constitutional monarchy. He focused in particular on the huge assets of the Crown Property Bureau which, under the late King Bhumibol, had been notionally held in trust for the benefit of the Thai people, but have now been declared the personal property of the king, making him by far the wealthiest person in Thailand. Mr Anon also questioned King Vajiralongkorn's decision to take personal command of all military units based in Bangkok, something he believes cannot be compatible with a democratic, constitutional monarchy. "It had to be done," he said of his call for accountability. "That's why I chose to speak candidly, to honour my own integrity, the integrity of the audience, and out of respect for the monarchy. Because if we don't speak frankly about it, then we will never understand it." 'Crackdown on pro-democracy activists' His comments were nothing short of extraordinary in a country where few dare to openly discuss the institution. In recent years, critics of Thailand's monarchy who have fled to neighbouring countries have been abducted and murdered. Thai police are cracking down on the student-led movement that has given rise to the country's biggest rallies since the coup six years ago. Protesters seek the resignation of the military-backed government, an end to the harassment of its critics, a new constitution and fresh elections. "The Thai government's repeated promises to listen to dissenting voices have proven meaningless as the crackdown on pro-democracy activists continues unabated," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch, calling for authorities to drop the charges and release all the activists.

The Republic of Ireland's cabinet has reversed some of its lockdown relaxation measures as it attempts to deal with rising Covid-19 case numbers. Irish Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said: "We are at a tipping point." He added that a few weeks ago there were just 61 new reported cases for a seven day period but last week there were 533 cases. The tightening of restrictions comes ahead of the reopening of schools over the next two weeks. Taoiseach (Irish PM) Mícheál Martin said that if the current rates of Covid-19 continue to rise "it will be impossible to stop the spread of the virus to our most vulnerable and our most compromised". On Tuesday, a further coronavirus-related death was reported, bringing the Republic of Ireland's total to 1,775. There were 190 more confirmed cases of Covid-19. Gardaí may get additional powers Crowds attending outdoor events, including sports, are to be reduced from 200 to 15. Indoor gatherings - excluding shops, restaurants and other businesses - are to be restricted to six people. Those over 70s are again being asked to stay at home as much as possible. People are also once again being encouraged to work from home and not to use public transport. Consideration is to be given as to whether Gardaí (Irish police) should get new powers to intervene where they believe social distancing rules are not being complied with. People have been advised to continue working from home and to avoid public transport where possible. In an initial response to the measures the leader of Labour party, Alan Kelly, has said the measures send out the wrong signal and will affect morale. The restrictions will remain in place until 13 September at the earliest. 'Clusters around the country' Following Tuesday's cabinet meeting, Irish Health Minister Stephen Donnelly told a press conference that multiple clusters had emerged in homes and workplaces around the country. Mr Donnelly said the 14-day cumulative cases per 100,000 of po[CENSORED]tion is now 26 and the Republic of Ireland's rate of growth in the past two weeks was the fourth highest in Europe. The number of coronavirus cases rose by 200 on Saturday, although the daily tally on subsequent days was lower. The number reported on Monday was 56, down from 66 on Sunday. The overall total number of cases in the Republic of Ireland is 27,499

Speaker Nancy Pelosi will call on the House of Representatives to return to session in the coming days to vote on a bill to protect the US Postal Service. In a letter released on Sunday, Ms Pelosi accused President Trump of a "campaign to sabotage the election". It comes after the USPS warned that millions of mail ballots may not arrive in time to be counted in the election. Critics blamed the new USPS head - a loyal supporter of the president - for a slowdown in deliveries. A record number of people are expected to vote by mail ahead of the 3 November presidential election due to the pandemic. The president has repeatedly said mail-in ballots will lead to voting fraud and give a boost to his rival Democrat Joe Biden. However, experts say the mail-in voting system, which Mr Trump himself uses, is safe from tampering. In a letter released on Sunday, Ms Pelosi criticised plans by the USPS's new head, Louis DeJoy, which she said would "degrade postal service, delay the mail, and - according to the Postal Service itself - threaten to deny the ability of eligible Americans to cast their votes through the mail in the upcoming elections in a timely fashion". "Lives, livelihoods and the life of our American Democracy are under threat from the president," she added. Ms Pelosi said she would call on House representatives to vote on a new bill to prohibit the USPS from introducing any changes to the service or operations it provided at the beginning of this year in the coming week. A date for the vote has not yet been announced. She also joined a number of Democrats in calling on Mr DeJoy and another senior USPS figure to testify at an "urgent" hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform on 24 August. Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, have accused Mr Trump of attacking postal voting and the USPS in a bid to "undermine the election". President Trump has previously told Fox News he was blocking additional funding for the financially troubled agency, because he opposes mail-in voting. "Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," he said. "Now, if we don't make a deal, that means they don't get the money. That means they can't have universal mail-in voting, they just can't have it."

President Donald Trump says he has heard Democratic running mate Kamala Harris "doesn't qualify" to serve as US vice-president, amplifying a fringe legal theory critics decry as racist. Ms Harris was born to a Jamaican father and Indian mother in Oakland, California, on 20 October 1964. But a conservative law professor has questioned her eligibility. For years, Mr Trump promoted a false "birther" theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the US. Ms Harris, a California senator, was unveiled on Tuesday as the first woman of colour to serve as running mate on a main-party US presidential ticket. She is deputy to Democratic White House candidate Joe Biden, who will challenge Mr Trump, a Republican, in November's general election. What did Trump say? At Thursday's press conference, Mr Trump was asked about the argument against Ms Harris. The president said: "I just heard it today that she doesn't meet the requirements and by the way the lawyer that wrote that piece is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer. "I have no idea if that's right. I would have assumed the Democrats would have checked that out before she gets chosen to run for vice-president. "But that's a very serious, you're saying that, they're saying that she doesn't qualify because she wasn't born in this country." The reporter replied there was no question that Ms Harris was born in the US, simply that her parents might not have been legal permanent residents at that time. Earlier on Thursday, a Trump campaign adviser, Jenna Ellis, reposted a tweet from the head of conservative group Judicial Watch, Tim Fitton. In that tweet, Mr Fitton questioned whether Ms Harris was "ineligible to be Vice President under the US Constitution's 'Citizenship Clause'". He also shared an opinion piece published in Newsweek magazine by John Eastman, a law professor at Chapman University in California. What is the law professor's argument? Prof Eastman cites Article II of the US Constitution's wording that "no person except a natural born citizen… shall be eligible to the office of President". He also points out that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution says "all persons born… in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens". Prof Eastman's argument hinges on the idea that Ms Harris may not have been subject to US jurisdiction if her parents were, for example, on student visas at the time of their daughter's birth in California. In 2010, Prof Eastman ran to be the Republican candidate for California attorney general. He lost to Steve Cooley, who went on to be defeated by Ms Harris in the general election. Following furious backlash to the Newsweek op-ed, its editor-in-chief Nancy Cooper stood by the decision to publish, arguing on Thursday that Prof Eastman's article had "nothing to do with racist birtherism". What do other constitutional experts say? Another constitutional law expert told CBS News, the BBC's US partner, that Prof Eastman's argument about Ms Harris' eligibility was "truly silly". Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of Berkeley Law School, wrote in an email: "Under section 1 of the 14th Amendment, anyone born in the United States is a United States citizen. "The Supreme Court has held this since the 1890s. Kamala Harris was born in the United States." Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University and frequent critic of President Trump, called Prof Eastman's argument "garbage" and "racist birtherism redux". Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, told the Associated Press news agency: "Let's just be honest about what it is: It's just a racist trope we trot out when we have a candidate of colour whose parents were not citizens." How did Trump fuel the Obama 'birther' theory? Back in 2011 Mr Trump began stoking right-wing theories that President Obama might have been born in Kenya. Even when Mr Obama produced a copy of his birth certificate in April that year showing he was born in Hawaii, Mr Trump continued to claim it was a "fraud". During a September 2016 press conference Mr Trump, then the Republican White House candidate, was asked about the matter. He sought to take credit for dispelling doubts over Mr Obama's eligibility, telling reporters: "I finished it. President Obama was born in the United States. Period." Mr Trump also argued in 2016 that his election rival Ted Cruz was not eligible to run for president because he was born in Canada to a US citizen mother and a Cuban-born father.

US President Donald Trump has said someone was shot near the White House, after he was abruptly led out of a news conference by a Secret Service agent. Mr Trump told reporters the incident was "very well under control". A member of his security detail had walked on stage during his remarks to reporters and whispered in his ear. Mr Trump was heard to say "Oh!" and "What's happening", as he left the briefing room. The White House was placed on lockdown during the incident. The president was interrupted mid-sentence by the agent at the podium during Monday's incident. When he returned about nine minutes later, Mr Trump told reporters he believed the Secret Service had shot a suspect, who was armed "from what I understand". He said that someone was taken to hospital after the incident. Mr Trump acknowledged it was an unusual situation, but praised the professionalism of the Secret Service. "It was a shooting outside of the White House," the Republican president said. "It seems to be very well under control. "But there was an actual shooting, and somebody has been taken to the hospital. I don't know the condition of the person." The US Secret Service meanwhile tweeted: "The Secret Service can confirm there has been an officer involved shooting at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Ave. "Law enforcement officials are on the scene. More information to follow." Mr Trump told reporters he did not know if the suspect harboured any ill intentions towards him. "It might not have had anything to do with me," the president said. A journalist asked Mr Trump if he was rattled by the incident. "Do I seem rattled?" he replied. The president added: "It's unfortunate that this is the world, but the world's always been a dangerous place. It's not something that's unique. "The world has been, if you look back over the centuries, the world has been a dangerous place, very dangerous place, and it will continue, I guess, for a period of time." He told journalists he was escorted to the Oval Office outside the briefing room during the incident. Also led out of the news conference were Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought. The doors were locked. The District of Columbia fire department said a man suffered serious or possibly critical injuries, according to the Associated Press. The news agency also reported that authorities were looking into whether the individual has a background of mental illness.
