I think it would be a fallacy to think we will go back to where we were before, Philippines central bank Governor Benjamin Diokno told Reuters Next. I think we have to have a vision of what the new normal will be. The pandemic, which has so far infected at least 90.5 million people and killed around 1.9 worldwide, has up-ended industries and workers in almost every country in the world as tough lockdowns were imposed.

The European Union s chief vaccine negotiator has said the EU had bought all the doses it could and that there would be abundant doses available in the second quarter.
Sandra Gallina also denied that individual member states could negotiate their own contracts with pharmaceutical companies, telling the European Parliament that there was no spare capacity in the market.

NEW DELHI, Jan 12 India’s army chief said today he expected talks with China will lead to an amicable solution to the Himalayan border crisis which escalated after a fight in which 20 Indian soldiers were killed last year.
General Manoj Mukund Naravane said Indian and Chinese troops were holding their positions, although Chinese troops had pulled back from some training areas on the adjacent Tibetan plateau.
Troops remain locked in a stand off at the bitterly contested border in the western Himalayas, the most serious military crisis between the nuclear-armed neighbours for decades.
