| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: BioNTech and Pfizer say they will ramp up their vaccine deliveries to the European Union, pledging to send up to 75 million extra doses to the bloc in the next few months after Brussels clashes bitterly with rival vaccine supplier AstraZeneca. The National Health Service (NHS) says all eligible elderly people living in English care home have been offered their first injection. British war veteran Captain Tom Moore, aged 100, who raised millions of pounds for the NHS by walking around his garden during the first lockdown, is hospitalised with the virus. Edouard Philippe, who is half Captain Tom's age, also tests positive with the Le Havre mayor's entourage saying he is "doing well". The British government buys 40 million additional doses of Valneva, a French-Austrian vaccine under development that is easier to ship and store than jabs by Pfizer and Moderna, which require special cooling. French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire says restaurants opening illegally during lockdown will have relief payments cut after two dozen in Paris alone were caught serving in secret -- including one opposite police headquarters. Ten Republican senators write to US President Joe Biden with a $600-billion alternative to his massive $1.9 trillion virus relief plan, saying their approach could garner bipartisan support. India unveils a massive spending plan with $30.6 billion for health schemes including $4.8 billion for the country's immunisation drive, with plans to vaccinate 300 million by July. Australian Open organisers reveal bizarre requests by tennis stars during their two-week hotel quarantines, including requests for puppies and kittens. The World Health Organization is meeting to study "long Covid" at a seminar that aims to define the condition and launch standardised data collection methods for monitoring patients. Most regions of Italy are now allowing bars, restaurants and museums to open during the day. Poland is reopening museums, libraries, galleries and shopping malls. Kazakhstan begins its vaccination campaign with top health officials receiving Russia's Sputnik V shot. Budget Irish carrier Ryanair warns it will suffer a record annual loss of almost one billion euros ($1.2 billion) citing the impact of UK travel bans. Japan Airlines also forecasts a larger-than-expected annual net loss of nearly $2.9 billion. Japanese giant Nintendo reports bumper results with unprecedented demand for games and consoles as new lockdowns boost the sector. The coronavirus has killed more than 2,227,605 people since the outbreak emerged in China in December 2019, according to an AFP tally based on official sources. The countries with the most deaths are the US with 441,331, Brazil with 224,504 and Mexico with 158,536. The global death toll, calculated from official daily figures published by national health authorities, is an underestimate. It does not include later revisions by statistics agencies. burs-nrh/fg/bp
