Malaysia received 268,800 doses of AstraZeneca (AZN.L) vaccines on Friday night, its first batch from the pharmaceutical company, state news agency reported on Saturday.

Health Minister Adham Baba said the batch was purchased through the COVAX facility.
-The COVAX facility sent the vaccine from South Korea, and we will keep it at the designated storage centre- he told reporters, according to Bernama.
The country had initially given conditional approval in March for the use of the vaccine made by the firm, but placed it under review after the European Medicines Agency found that unusual blood clots with low blood platelets was a rare side effect of the vaccine.&nbsp;Adham said the procurement was decided after approval by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency.
-Our view is that the AstraZeneca vaccine is beneficial for use by certain groups...(we) need to have more brands of vaccine as some people may be compatible with this vaccine- he said.
An announcement would be made on Monday on the first group of recipients.
Malaysia has secured a total of 12.8 million doses from AstraZeneca, half of which will come via the global COVAX facility. It was slated to receive the first 600,000 doses in June.

Germany will shut out all travellers arriving from India apart from its own citizens, Health Minister Jens Spahn said Saturday, as a new variant has made the South Asian country the latest coronavirus hotspot.

-We're very worried about the new mutation of the virus discovered in India. So as not to endanger our vaccination programme, India travel has to be significantly limited- Spahn told the Funke newspaper group.
From Monday, only German citizens will be allowed to enter the country when arriving from India, he added.
As Spahn plans to designate India a "virus variant zone", travellers will have to be tested before departure for Germany and immediately enter a 14-day quarantine on arrival.
Berlin had already dubbed India a "zone with particularly high risk of infection" with effect from Sunday.
Germany is the latest of several countries to restrict travel from India over the new variant, following Canada, Britain and Kuwait.
On Saturday, India reported a record daily number of deaths from Covid-19, while the government is struggling to provide enough oxygen to overwhelmed hospitals.
A total of almost 190,000 people have died of coronavirus in India according to official figures.

French investigators were on Saturday questioning three people linked to a Tunisian man who stabbed a police employee to death near Paris in a suspected Islamist attack. 

The murder at a police station in Rambouillet, a commuter town about 60 kilometres (40 miles) from Paris, revived the trauma of a spate of deadly attacks last year.
The victim was a 49-year-old woman named as Stephanie M., a police administrative assistant and mother-of-two, who was stabbed twice in the throat at the entrance of the station. 
Her 36-year-old attacker named as Jamel G., who had not been known to police or intelligence services, was shot and fatally wounded by an officer at the scene.
President Emmanuel Macron, who was out of the country on a visit to Chad, tweeted that France would never give in to "Islamist terrorism".
The latest violence targeting police is likely to focus attention further on the danger of Islamic extremism in France and wider concerns about security a year ahead of a presidential election.
Prime Minister Jean Castex said he would hold a meeting in Paris with ministers and security officials after the killing.
National anti-terrorism prosecutors have opened a terror investigation.
A source close to the inquiry told AFP the knifeman shouted "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) during the attack.
Chief anti-terror prosecutor Jean-Francois Ricard confirmed "comments made by the assailant" indicated a terror motive.

Jamel G's father and two other people were taken into custody on Friday, and questioning was continuing on Saturday as police delve into his background, contacts and possible motives.

The assailant had arrived in France illegally in 2009 but had since obtained residency papers, a police source said. He had just moved to Rambouillet.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen immediately questioned why the attacker had been able to settle in the country, and hit back at recent criticism about police brutality in France.
-We need to get back to reason: supporting our police, expelling illegal immigrants and eradicating Islamism- she wrote on Twitter.
Polls show her running close to Macron in next year's election, though experts warn that surveys conducted so far ahead and during a pandemic should be interpreted with caution.
About 30 police officers wearing balaclavas raided the suspect's home in Rambouillet on Friday, AFP reporters said.
At the same time police in the Paris region searched the home of the person who had sheltered Jamel G. when he first arrived in France, sources close to the inquiry said.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin, who also visited officers in Rambouillet, said security would be stepped up at stations nationwide.

France has been repeatedly targeted by Islamist attackers since 2015, with a series of incidents in the last year keeping terrorism and security as a leading concern.

Macron's government has introduced legislation to tackle religious extremism, which would make it easier for the government to close places of worship and track foreign funding of mosques.
The bill has been condemned by critics who see it as stigmatising Muslims.
Last September, a Pakistani man wounded two people with a meat cleaver outside the former offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which had printed cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
In October, a young Chechen refugee beheaded teacher Samuel Paty who had showed some of the caricatures to his pupils in a crime that profoundly shocked the country.
Later that month, three people were killed when a recently-arrived Tunisian went on a stabbing spree in a church in the Mediterranean city of Nice.
In the most serious recent attack against French police, three officers and one police employee in Paris were stabbed to death in October 2019 by an IT specialist colleague who was himself then shot dead.
He was found to have shown an interest in radical Islam. 
These attacks came after the massacres carried out by Islamist extremists from 2015 that began with the killing of staff in the offices of Charlie Hebdo in January that year.
In France's deadliest peacetime atrocity, 130 people were killed and 350 were wounded when Islamist suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the Stade de France stadium, bars and restaurants in central Paris and the Bataclan concert hall in November 2015.
The following year a man rammed a truck into a Bastille Day crowd in Nice, killing 86 people.
Just a few weeks earlier, in June 2016, two police officers were stabbed to death at their home outside Paris by a man claiming allegiance to the Islamic State group.

The victim was a 49-year-old woman named as Stephanie M., a police administrative assistant and mother-of-two, who was stabbed twice in the throat at the entrance of the station

India's daily coronavirus death toll passed a new record Saturday as the government battled to get oxygen supplies to hospitals overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of new daily cases.

Queues of COVID-19 patients and their fearful relatives are building up outside hospitals in major cities across India, the new world pandemic hotspot which has now reported nearly one million new cases in three days.
Another 2,624 deaths, a new daily record, were reported in 24 hours, taking the official toll to nearly 190,000 since the pandemic started.
More than 340,000 new cases were also reported, taking India's total to 16.5 million, second only to the United States.
But many experts are predicting the current wave will not peak for at least three weeks and that the real death and case numbers are much higher.
Stung by criticism of its lack of preparation ahead of the wave of infections, the central government has organised special trains to get oxygen supplies to the worst-hit cities. 
It has also pressed industrialists to increase production of oxygen and other life-saving drugs in short supply.
One 'oxygen express' carrying 30,000 litres for hospitals arrived in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh state at dawn on Saturday, where armed guards were waiting to escort trucks to hospitals.
Lucknow has been one of the worst hit cities, with hospitals and crematoriums inundated with patients and bodies, and officials said the liquid oxygen would only be enough for half a day's needs.
The Indian air force is also being used to transport oxygen tankers and other supplies around the country.
In New Delhi, the city's government said it would begin setting up buffer stocks of oxygen to speed supplies to hospitals when they are within hours of running out. 
Many patients are dying outside hospitals in the capital because of the lack of beds and oxygen. 
One charity has set up an overflow crematorium in a car park, with makeshift funeral pyres built to deal with the mounting deaths.

Spain became one of the first European countries to begin administering the one-shot Johnson &amp; Johnson coronavirus vaccine on Thursday.

The vaccine had been sitting in storage for more than a week after US regulatory bodies recommended halting the jab to study rare blood clots.
But the European Medicines Agency (EMA) gave the vaccine the greenlight on Tuesday. Experts acknowledged there may be a link between rare blood clots and the jab but insisted the benefits far outweigh the risk.
Spain has begun giving the jab to those aged 70-79, although the vaccine has not been approved only for that group. In contrast, Spanish officials have only approved the AstraZeneca vaccine for those in their 60s.
Other European countries, including Germany, France, the Netherlands, and Greece are set to begin administering the J&amp;J jab in the coming days.
Spain has received 146,000 J&amp;J doses and has ordered 17.6 million through to the third quarter of 2021.
The one-dose shot is an important arsenal in the country’s fight against coronavirus infections that are on the rise.
The Health Ministry reported on Thursday 10,814 new cases, 1,151 more than the same day last week.
The situation in the Basque Country continues to deteriorate, with the northern region breaking a recent record for new infections.
In Madrid, 44% of all available intensive care units are now in use by COVID-19 patients.
Another 132 people also lost their lives to the disease, bringing the coronavirus death toll to nearly 77,500 in Spain.

Australia's diving team said it was "not safe" to travel to Japan as they withdrew from a Tokyo Olympics test event on Friday just three months before the pandemic-postponed Games begin.

The Diving World Cup was set to take place from May 1-6 in the Japanese capital.
But with the Japanese government due to impose new virus states of emergency in Tokyo and three other regions on Friday, Diving Australia said they had concluded it would "not be safe to send our athletes and officials to the World Cup".
-It is our clear position, in light of the current circumstances, that a fair and safe Olympic qualification event is not possible at this time- a statement said.
Japan has seen a comparatively small Covid-19 outbreak, with fewer than 10,000 deaths despite never imposing the strict lockdowns seen in other countries.
But surging cases have prompted fresh restrictions as the country gears up to host the Games, forcing torch relays off public roads in an effort to keep spectators away.
The Olympics test events have faced serious disruption, with several postponed or relocated due to surging infections.

Members of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) arrested yesterday the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Sarajevo Canton (MUP SC), Josip Barić, who is connected to the "Dženan Memić" case.
Barić was arrested in Ilidža, where his property was searched by order of the Court and the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H.
After the criminal investigation in SIPA, he was handed over to the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H this morning, which was confirmed to us by Luka Miladinović, the spokesperson of SIPA. The Prosecution will decide on the measures today after being examined by the acting prosecutor Ćazim Hasanspahić.
SIPA officially said yesterday that the person arrested in Ilidža is suspected of having committed the organized crime, illegal mediation and assistance to the perpetrator after the crime was committed. On that occasion, SIPA also searched Barić's vehicle and temporarily confiscated his mobile phone, laptop and computer.
According to the information that "Avaz" has, the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H officially expanded the investigation in relation to Barić a few days ago, after all the evidence was gathered and witnesses were heard.
As for Barić, his name has been linked to the case for years. Barić was the police officer who first questioned the only witness in the case, Alisa Mutap.

However, Barić twice described her statement in a completely different way, which took the investigation in a different direction. This was confirmed on several occasions by the family of the murdered young man.

These allegations were confirmed to us yesterday by the lawyer of the Memić family, Ifet Feraget.
What is indicative, Barić, who took a statement from Alisa, did not take all the evidence that would serve in the investigation. One of them is Alisas's bloody sweater.

According to the information that "Avaz" has, the Prosecutor's Office of B&amp;H officially expanded the investigation in relation to Barić a few days ago, after all the evidence was gathered and witnesses were heard.
In this case, which was taken over from the SC Prosecutor's Office by the State Prosecutor's Office a few months ago, three months ago Zijad Mutap, the father of Alisa Mutap, the ex-girlfriend of the murdered Dženan Memić, with whom she was in Great Alley in Ilidža, and Hasan Dupovac, former head of the Traffic Accident Department of the KS Ministry of the Interior, were arrested.
The two of them are suspected of organized crime, ie covering up the murder of a young man. As for Barić, his name has been linked to the case for years. Barić was the police officer who first examined the only witness in the case, Alisa Mutap.

However, Barić twice described her statement in a completely different way, which took the investigation in a different direction. This was confirmed on several occasions by the family of the murdered young man.
These allegations were confirmed to us yesterday by the lawyer of the Memić family, Ifet Feraget.
What is indicative, Barić, who took a statement from Alisa, did not take all the evidence that would serve in the investigation. One of them is Alisas's bloody sweater.
- Barić did not exclude as evidence Alisa's sweater with traces of blood when he was in KUM. He had to, and he didn't. And why not, let the Prosecution investigate. Let him say that the doctor told him that Alisa, when she was at KUM, was communicative and aware. And that Dženan has no other injuries other than head injuries. There was no talk of amnesia then - Feraget told us yesterday.

The Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina today called on the competent authorities of the Republic of Srpska entity to take the issue of endangered security of Bosniak returnees in that entity seriously and to prosecute the perpetrators of the latest threats and insults.

-Bosniak returnees in eastern Bosnia are exposed to permanent provocations and harassment, which usually intensifies during Ramadan. Unfortunately, we are witnessing that this year as well- Press Service of the Riyasat of the Islamic Community in B&amp;H pointed out.
Since they have never been sanctioned or convicted by the competent entity authorities before, the Riyasat believes that these dark elements are overshadowed by the story of secession told by some politicians.

They also call on Sarajevo politicians to address the issue, but also on the competent prosecutor's office to launch investigations, as it concludes that "evil must be stopped".

The TVC company from Germany has registered a company of the same name in Goražde, where the production of medical beds and functional furniture has already begun.

This is a significant investment for the Podrinje Canton - Goražde, which entails a plan of the construction of a production hall in the industrial zone Vitkovići and the employment of 150 to 300 workers.

-TVC Goražde will be part of a worldwide group that makes metal parts for medical beds and accessories. The production we want to establish here is being done in two places in China. 570 people are already working on a project like this. We want to transfer the complete production here to Goražde, which is fifty percent more than we produce today- said investor Klaus Bellingroth.
The new plant will cover 7,000 square meters with 12,000 square meters of production area, and German investors have announced that they are planning new production halls in Goražde in the next few years.

New cases have been registered in all cantons in the Federation of B&amp;H.
A total of 614,965 samples have been tested so far, and SARS-CoV-2 has been confirmed in 128,134 individuals.
In the past 24 hours, 22 deaths were reported to the Public Health Institute of the Federation of B&amp;H.

Hungary will allow restaurants and bars to reopen their outdoor terraces from Saturday as more than a third of the population has received at least one vaccine dose, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Friday.

-Now 3.5 million have been vaccinated, so from Saturday morning catering premises can open their outdoor areas- Orban said during his weekly radio address.
-There is a beer on a terrace waiting for me too- he said.
Orban added other services, such as hotels, theatres, cinemas, gyms, public baths, libraries and indoor dining, would be allowed to reopen once four million people have received at least one shot of vaccine -- expected by the middle of next week.
People will have to show a proof of immunity, he added. Restaurants and other services have been closed since November.
The central European country of 9.8 million people has carried out one of the fastest coronavirus vaccine rollouts in the EU thanks to its use of the Chinese Sinopharm and Russian Sputnik V jabs. 
Neither vaccine has been approved for use by the 27-nation bloc's drug regulator EMA, although the agency has launched a rolling review of Sputnik V.
Hungary has been one of the hardest hit EU member states, with one of the highest Covid-19 death tolls in the world, according to AFP data.
The government submitted a bill to parliament Tuesday that would extend its existing state of emergency powers to rule by decree until at least September.

Orban's critics, including a leading doctors' association, say the lifting of restrictions should be based on infection cases and deaths rather than vaccination levels.

Opposition parties have also accused Orban of downplaying the death toll. The government insists the country's excess mortality rate during the pandemic is around the EU average. 
As the rate of new infections and other virus indicators have fallen steadily in the last week, Orban -- expected to face a tight election race next year -- has pledged to quickly reopen the economy, which shrank by around five percent in 2020. 
A nighttime curfew that has been in place since November will be pushed back to 23:00 rather than the current 22:00 from Saturday, Orban said Friday.
Neighbouring Slovenia is also allowing cinemas and theatres -- that have been closed for more than six months -- to reopen from Friday under strict health safety rules.
Hotels with up to 30 rooms will be allowed to reopen from next Monday with customers being required to present a negative test result, vaccination certificate or proof of having recovered from coronavirus.

Other services, such as hotels, theatres, gyms, public baths, libraries and indoor dining, would be allowed to reopen once four million people have received at least one shot of vaccine
