| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: The World Health Organization chief describes as "beyond heartbreaking" India's record-breaking wave of Covid-19 cases and deaths that has overwhelmed hospitals and set crematoriums working at full capacity. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the organisation has sent thousands of oxygen concentrators, prefabricated mobile field hospitals and laboratory supplies, speaking after the US and UK also rushed emergency supplies. The European Union says it has launched legal action against AstraZeneca over coronavirus vaccine delivery shortfalls that hampered efforts to kickstart inoculations across the bloc. The pharmaceutical giant says the lawsuit is "without merit". British Prime Minister Boris Johnson faces a call to resign after claims he dismissed the prospect of thousands dying from Covid-19 in an escalating row over government "sleaze". Asked if he said he would rather see "bodies pile high in their thousands" than impose a third lockdown, Johnson tells reporters: "No". Prime minister Prayut Chan-O-Cha is fined for not wearing a mask after new restrictions come into force in Thailand to try to halt an outbreak that has seen deaths hit a record single-day high over the weekend. The Covid-19 death toll in Iran passes 70,000, according to health ministry figures, with a record 496 deaths in the past 24 hours in the Middle East's worst-hit country. Bars, restaurants, cinemas and concert halls can partially reopen across Italy in a boost for pandemic-hit businesses, as Prime Minister Mario Draghi unveils a massive 220-billion-euro ($266-billion) EU-funded recovery plan. Scottish pubs are allowed to reopen for the first time this year, along with non-essential retail and leisure facilities such as gyms, swimming pools and nail bars. Primary schools and kindergartens reopen in France after a three-week shutdown, as the government begins easing restrictions imposed when France entered its third nationwide lockdown on April 3. Authorities in northern Italy announce they have identified two cases of the Indian variant of coronavirus, in a father and daughter recently returned from India. At least 3,109,991 people have died of Covid-19 around the world since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP. The US is the worst-affected country with 572,200 deaths, followed by Brazil with 390,797, Mexico 214,947, India 195,123 and Britain 127,428. burs-eab-jmy/lc
