In a statement, the MEA said India has received several requests for the supply of Indian-manufactured vaccines from neighbouring and key partner countries. The announcement comes hours after it was...

Fresh questions have been raised over the risks of catching the coronavirus from food after traces were found in at least five samples of ice cream made in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin. Last Thursday, authorities in Tianjin, neighbouring Beijing, said three samples of ice cream had been found to contain traces of Sars-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the disease Covid-19. An investigation suggested that Ukrainian milk powder used to make the ice cream was the likely source, after three samples of the powder and two further samples of ice creams from the same batch were also found to contain Sars-CoV-2, from more than 2,800 samples taken from the ice cream, packaging,...

Chinese medics have been secretly filmed admitting they knew how dangerous the coronavirus was when it began to wreak havoc in Wuhan - but say they were told to lie about it. Medical professionals in Wuhan say they knew about virus deaths as early as December 2019, but it was mid-January before China first informed the WHO of a fatality. They also realised that the virus was passing between humans, but hospitals were told 'not to tell the truth' and calls to scrap Lunar New Year festivities were rejected because authorities wanted to 'present a harmonious and prosperous society'. The new testimony, which will be broadcast tonight in an ITV documentary called Outbreak: The Virus That...

Not requiring any machine or power to extract water from the air sounds like a scene out of a science fiction movie, but researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have done just that.  A team from the NUS Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering have created a type of aerogel — a solid material with very low density — that condenses water vapour into drinking water, all without an external battery or power source. In a humid environment, a kilogramme of the material produces 17 litres of water a day, enough to meet a household’s daily needs, NUS said in a media release on Tuesday (Jan 19).  During laboratory tests, the material...

Cook County Judge Susana Ortiz, who presided over the case, could not register the facts as true, due to the shocking nature of the...
