A U-S health expert blows the whistle on ineffective plans for vaccine distribution and administration.It comes as countries across Europe begin to open borders.

As the global death toll from coronavirus surpasses 300,000, fears are mounting about its spread in some of the world's poorest communities.

A Rohingya man has become the first person to test positive to COVID-19 in a refugee camp in Bangladesh.

Health experts warn COVID-19 may spread through the camp of almost one million, where the persecuted Muslim minority live.

The Indian government has been criticised for doing little for the country's poor, after millions of migrant workers fled Indian cities as they could not find work during lockdown.

It comes as a U-S whistleblower warns the U-S is not adequately prepared to administer a vaccine, despite statements from President Donald Trump saying otherwise.

Dr. Rick Bright says he was ousted from his post as head of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority after sounding the alarm.
