Mexico City mayor promises full investigation into subway collapse
Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum is promising a full investigation after an elevated section of the city's subway collapsed.
"There has to be a formal investigation by the Attorney General's office of Mexico City and of course a full review of all government institutions, and if necessary, an external investigation will also be carried out to find out what really happened in this incident."
More than 20 people, including children, were killed and about 70 others injured in the accident that happened late Monday.
A subway car plunged onto a busy boulevard from the overpass that was about five meters above the road in southern Mexico City.
The collapse occurred on Line 12, the newest metro line of the city.
Mayor Sheinbaum earlier said it appeared a girder had given way on the overpass.
EMA starts rolling review of Sinovac's COVID-19 vaccine
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has started a rolling review of an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine developed by China's Sinovac Biotech.
This is a regulatory tool that the agency employs to accelerate the assessment of a medicinal drug amid a public health emergency.
A statement says the decision was made based on preliminary results from studies that showed that the Chinese vaccine triggers the production of antibodies targeting the coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease.
The EMA says the review will continue until there is enough evidence for a formal marketing authorization application for the Sinovac vaccine.

The German company says data packages are being prepared for regulators.

Britain will announce travel green list shortly
British Trade Minister Liz Truss says the UK is set to announce the green list for countries that people can travel to on holiday shortly and will have the right procedures in place to ensure travel can happen safely.
Hopes that Britons will be able to travel to Europe rose on Monday after the European Union recommended easing restrictions to allow in people who were fully vaccinated or from countries with a "good epidemiological situation."
The British government said in mid-April it would announce which countries would be open for quarantine-free travel from England in early May.
Sources have suggested the list could be published on Friday, after local elections are held on Thursday.
