| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: German leaders agree to tighten the national coronavirus law in a move to hand Berlin more centralised power in the face of a stalemate over lockdown measures, as the country remains gripped by rising infection rates. Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg says she plans to skip the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow this November on the ground that the uneven rollout of vaccine campaigns would mean countries could not participate on even terms. The Brazilian Senate will open an inquiry into the government's handling of the pandemic, as President Jair Bolsonaro continues to resist lockdown measures even with deaths at new records. And in another blow to the Brazilian leader, the country's supreme court rules that regional authorities can prohibit in-person religious services, something Bolsonaro had strongly opposed. France says under 55s who received a first injection of the AstraZeneca vaccine should be given a second jab from a different producer, but the World Health Organization warns there is not sufficient data to recommend the practice. Japan's government approves tighter measures for the capital and other areas, weeks after lifting a state of emergency and with just over 100 days until the postponed Olympics. Leading hospitals in India's most coronavirus-hit state halt vaccinations, citing shortages as infections across the country cross 13 million and set a new daily record. Hong Kong confirms it has requested AstraZeneca suspend delivery of its vaccine amid fears of severe side effects and concerns over its efficacy against new variants. New York state will issue one-time payments of up to $15,000 to undocumented migrants who lost work during the pandemic under a multi-billion-dollar fund. The US state of Florida is suing the Biden administration to allow cruise ships to start sailing after a year-long moratorium on operations due to the pandemic. French police detain for questioning leading chef Christophe Leroy and flamboyant businessman Pierre-Jean Chalencon after accusations they organised clandestine restaurant dinners for top figures in defiance of rules. Cricket chiefs step up surveillance of star players ahead of the launch of the Indian Premier League amid a rapid surge in cases in the country. At least 2,903,907 people have died of Covid-19 around the world since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to an AFP tally from official sources. The US is the worst-affected country with 560,115 deaths, followed by Brazil with 345,025, Mexico with 206,146, India with 167,642 and Britain with 126,980. burs-eab/ach
