Iconic sites around the world begin opening again to visitors, including the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and the ruins of ancient Pompeii in Italy. Italian foreign minister Luigi di Maio says he is working with EU colleagues to agree on June 15 as a coordinated day for member states to reopen their borders and tourist regions. Pope Francis will address the faithful once more from his window overlooking Saint Peter's Square on Sunday. The Argentine pontiff has recited the traditional Angelus prayer inside the Apostolic Palace since March. It was live-streamed each Sunday to the world. During lockdown the public was barred from gathering in the square. Saudi Arabia says it will end its nationwide curfew from June 21, except in the holy city of Mecca. Prayers will be allowed to resume in all mosques outside Mecca from May 31. The pandemic has killed at least 346,296 people worldwide since it surfaced in China late last year, according to an AFP tally at 1100 GMT on Tuesday, based on official sources. The United States has recorded the most deaths with 98,223 fatalities. It is followed by Britain with 36,914, Italy with 32,877, France with 28,457 and Spain with 26,834. Latin America's largest airline LATAM files for bankruptcy in the US. It will enter into a voluntary reorganisation, but the airline says there will be no immediate impact on passenger or cargo flights. President Vladimir Putin says Russia has now passed the peak of infections and tells his defence minister to prepare a postponed World War II victory commemoration parade in June. Douglas Ross, a minister for Scotland, quits in the first government resignation over the controversy involving British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's top aide Dominic Cummings and his cross-country trip during lockdown. The European Central Bank warns a vast fiscal fightback to the crisis unleashed by eurozone governments could raise questions about capitals' ability to repay debts and revive the threat of countries exiting the single currency. South Korea jails a man for four months for breaking quarantine rules -- the country's first such prison sentence. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte says students will only go back to school if a vaccine is available. "If no one graduates, then so be it," he says. And Thailand extends its sweeping state of emergency for another month. The prestigious Turner Prize, a key date on the global arts calendar, will not take place this year but Tate Britain says it will award £10,000 ($12,300) grants to 10 deserving British artists instead. burs-eab/jmy/bsp
