A leading rights group warned Thursday that millions of Syrians risk losing access to lifesaving aid, including food and COVID-19 vaccines, if Russia manages to block at the U.N. Security Council the use of the last remaining cross-border corridor for U.N. aid into rebel-held northwestern Syria.

Current and former presidents of Taiwan, Tsai Ing-wen and Ma Ying-jeou, paid tribute on the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, the first year in which there will be no large-scale in-person commemorations on Chinese soil.
Taiwan has limited gatherings because of its latest coronavirus outbreaks and vigils are banned in Hong Kong and Macau, with authorities citing public health reasons and criminal laws.
Mainland China has never allowed public remembrance of the 1989 protests which demanded political reforms and greater freedoms, and Beijing heavily censors all information relating to the event.
