| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: The European Union reiterates its reservations about the temporary lifting of patents, as requested by India and South Africa and backed by Washington, in a proposal to boost availability of vaccines. President Vladimir Putin calls on reticent Russians to get vaccinated against the coronavirus and says Moscow is prepared to allow foreigners to enter the country to get the jab, speaking at the country's main economic forum, which is being held in-person. The US economy added 559,000 jobs in May and the unemployment rate dropped to 5.8 percent, as Covid-19 vaccines helped businesses reopen and rehire, in what President Joe Biden calls "great news", but disappoints analysts. Serbia is starting to produce Russia's Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, President Aleksandar Vucic says, the first European nation outside Russia and Belarus to take the step. The British regulator approves the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for all 12 to 15-year-olds. Spain says it wants to offer vaccines to pupils aged between 12 and 17 before the start of the new school year in September. France says it will fully open its borders to EU residents from Wednesday, but vaccinated travellers from Britain and the US still need a negative Covid test. Cades and restaurants in Belgium will be able to serve guests indoors from Wednesday and stay open later, as coronavirus figures continue to fall. A Belgian judge presiding over a legal dispute between the EU and AstraZeneca over a shortfall of Covid-19 vaccine doses to Europe says she will give her ruling within a month. The World Health Organization says a shortfall of 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines for the Covax programme for June and July could undermine the efficiency of the roll-out in poorer countries. Checkpoints reopen along the UN-patrolled ceasefire line that divides Cyprus as virus restrictions first imposed 15 months ago are finally eased. The Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix, scheduled for October 3, is cancelled "due to ongoing safety and logistic concerns brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic." The pandemic has killed at least 3,704,003 people worldwide since the virus first emerged in December 2019, according to an AFP compilation of official data. The US is the worst-affected country with 596,434 deaths, followed by Brazil with 469,388, India with 340,702, Mexico with 228,362, Peru with 185,380 and Britain with 127,812. The figures are based on reports by health authorities in each country, but do not take into account upward revisions carried out later by statistical bodies. The WHO says up to three times more people have died directly or indirectly due to the pandemic than official figures suggest. burs-eab-jmy/tgb
