🇩🇰BA.3.2 arrived in Denmark. 6% of new sequences submitted today are BA.3.2. Specifically, 6 are BA.3.2.2.2 (RE.2.2) and 1 is BA.3.2.1.1.1 (RD.1.1). See first analysis by @JosetteSchoenma below.

I am deeply saddened by the news of the renewed conflict along the border between #Thailand and #Cambodia, which has claimed civilian lives and forced thousands of people to flee their homes. I express my closeness in prayer to these dear people, and I call on all sides to

The 20 points for ending the war form a fundamental document. We are actively working on the key steps – they must be doable. From this fundamental document, we are developing at least two additional ones. The first is on security – regarding security guarantees with the United

The year is 2035. It has become an unavoidable requirement of your country to have a Latin or Greek word or phrase tattooed on your right forearm. There is space for between one and ten words. What do you choose under the circumstances? [No need for replies saying "I'd say no"!]
