Putin signs decree on countermeasures against "unfriendly" countries
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law to limit the number of local staff working at foreign diplomatic missions and other agencies, and ordered the government to draw up a list of "unfriendly" states that will be subject to the restrictions.

U.S. lifts pause on Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine
U.S. authorities have lifted an 11-day pause on COVID-19 inoculations using Johnson & Johnson's vaccine.
The pause was recommended after several women recipients developed a highly unusual kind of blood clot.
But ultimately Friday, the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention decided that the one-and-done jab is critical to fight the pandemic - and that the small clot risk could be handled with warnings to help younger women decide if they should use that shot or an alternative.
EU likely to vaccinate 70 pct adult population by end of July: von der Leyen
The European Commission President says the European Union (EU) aims to vaccinate 70 percent of its adult population by the end of July instead of late September as previously predicted.
Speaking after visiting Pfizer's vaccine plant in Puurs, Belgium, Ursula von der Leyen expressed satisfaction that "the EU's vaccination campaign is on track," passing the mark of 150 million doses delivered and 123 million vaccinations deployed.
This made the bloc among the top three in terms of COVID-19 vaccinations worldwide, after the United States and China.
The EC president also said her commission was close to concluding a deal with BioNTech and Pfizer to supply 1.8 billion additional vaccine doses for next year and 2023.
