| - Here are the latest developments in the coronavirus crisis: France went back into lockdown for at least a month with President Emmanuel Macron warning that the second wave will "probably be harder and more deadly" than the first which claimed some 30,000 lives there. Despite the dramatic spike in cases alarming doctors, Macron said schools and childcare facilities will remain open. People will be allowed to leave their homes to go to work, visit a doctor, get essential shopping and for short walks to get some air. A government official warned earlier that the announcement was likely to be "unpopular". Chancellor Angela Merkel said bars, cafes, restaurants, theatres and cinemas will close from Monday for a month to try to halt the surge in infections. Schools, daycare centres and shops will remain open but sports facilities are also to be closed. Meanwhile there are scenes of jubilation in Australia's second city Melbourne as people celebrate the end of a months-long lockdown. The virus has claimed at least 1,170,362 lives worldwide since it first emerged in China late last year, according to an AFP tally around 2000 GMT on Wednesday based on official sources. At least 44,171,591 cases have been registered across the globe, with Canada's death toll topping 10,000 as a second wave strikes there. More than 500,000 new cases were reported worldwide on Tuesday in a new daily record. The United States is the worst-affected country with 226,723 deaths, followed by Brazil with 157,946, India with 120,010, Mexico with 89,814 and Britain with 45,675. The number of people in Belgium admitted to hospital with the coronavirus has all but matched the level in the first wave of the epidemic in spring, figures show. Boeing announces additional job cuts that will lower headcount by 30,000 positions over two years, a drop of nearly 19 percent. Brussels has set aside 100 million euros ($118 million) for quicker virus tests, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen says. London Heathrow says Paris Charles de Gaulle has overtaken it to become Europe's top airport in terms of passenger numbers, blaming delayed coronavirus testing and travel restrictions. European stock markets tank as investors brace for the apparently imminent introduction of tighter measures in leading EU economies to combat soaring infection rates.
