Boosters will likely be offered even more broadly in the coming weeks or months, including boosters of vaccines made by Moderna and Johnson & Johnson. Andersen expects Moderna, which has no other products on the market, to generate a roughly $13 billion profit next year from all COVID-19 vaccine sales if boosters are broadly authorized. J&J and Europe’s AstraZeneca have said they don’t intend to profit from their COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic. Drugmakers are also developing COVID-19 shots that target certain variants of the virus, and say people might need annual shots like the ones they receive for the flu. But the success of the COVID-19 shots could draw more drugmakers and venture capitalists into the field.

This prominent feature in his human history made him an artist on more than one level, a writer, a poet, a director, even a musician, and an actor influenced by his reality. He plays his roles knowing the boundary between the artistic personality and his real personality. While the author of the book said that she discovered in the book more than Khaled and more than one story, rich in data and facts that reveal that his life is impossible to tell in one narrative, and it is difficult to ignore the margins in it, given that he is passionate about the margins; Some of them determine the angle of view of the hollow and its ramifications, and some of them capture the faces that help him, whether in his representative project or his clashes with life.

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Fatima Alzahra Shon thinks neighbors attacked her and her son in their Istanbul apartment building because she is Syrian. The 32-year-old refugee from Aleppo was confronted on Sept. 1 by a Turkish woman who asked her what she was doing in “our” country. Turkey hosts the world’s largest refugee population, and many experts say that has come at a cost. The government says there are about 300,000 Afghans in Turkey, some of whom hope to continue their journeys to reach Europe. Both Turkey’s main opposition party, the Republican People’s Party, or CHP, and the nationalist IYI Party have promised to work on creating conditions that would allow the Syrian refugees’ return.

MANCHESTER, England, Sept 25 (Reuters) - Bruno Fernandes blazed a stoppage-time penalty over the crossbar as Aston Villa earned a shock 1-0 victory at a below-par Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday. Kortney Hause's 88th-minute header put Villa on course for their first league win over United since 2009, but the defender's handball gifted United an opportunity to steal a point, only for Fernandes to miss the target. However, the hosts tailed off and really should have gone behind at halftime as Targett and Watkins missed great opportunities. The headlines, however, went to Fernandes, as his miss gave Villa a famous and thoroughly deserved success. "It (a Villa win at Old Trafford) has been a long time coming," Villa coach Dean Smith said.

CAIRO – 9 October 2021: Visiting Egypt on Friday, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam negotiations are vital to resolve water disputes between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia. The UN Security Council adopted this month a presidential statement calling on all three parties involved in the GERD to resume negotiations under the auspices of the African Union. “The Security Council is not the competent authority in technical and administrative disputes over water sources and rivers.” The UNSC statement said. The Security Council also on the parties to resume negotiations, stressing the need to return to the agreement of principles signed in 2015. In 2015, the three countries signed the Declaration of Principles, per which the downstream countries [Egypt and Sudan] should not be negatively affected by the construction of the dam.

AFP - Manchester City took revenge for their Champions League final loss to Chelsea and secured a big three points in the early running for the Premier League title with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge. The most painful of those came in Porto as Chelsea lifted the Champions League to deny City the crowning glory of the club's rise since an Abu Dhabi takeover in 2008. However, City's lack of a prolific goalscorer to turn that dominance into goals was again exposed. That was just the 15th Premier League goal Chelsea had conceded in 25 games since Tuchel took charge. But the Premier League champions' profligacy was not punished and United's shock 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa capped a stunning Saturday for City.

KHARTOUM, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Protesters in eastern Sudan shut a pipeline that carries imported crude oil to the capital Khartoum, but there are enough reserves for the country’s needs for up to ten days, the ministry of energy and oil said on Saturday. Khartoum oil refinery, which produces fuel for domestic consumption, is still working normally, the ministry added in a statement. Another pipeline used for exporting crude oil from neighboring South Sudan is still working but it is vulnerable to freezing and damage because the protesters are blocking a vessel from loading the oil, it said. Oil depots at Bashayer oil terminal port in eastern Sudan will be fully filled after ten days at the most if the blockage of exports continued, the ministry said. Protesters from the Beja tribes in eastern Sudan are shutting ports and blocking roads in protest at what they describe as poor political and economic conditions in the region.

As the South American country seeks to boost its flagging oil exports in the face of US sanctions, according to the sources, the deal between state-run firms Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) and National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) deepens the cooperation between two of Washington’s foes. The oil ministries of Venezuela and Iran, and state-run PDVSA and NIOC did not reply to requests for comment. US sanctions programs not only forbid Americans from doing business with the oil sectors of Iran and Venezuela, but also threaten to impose “secondary sanctions” against any non-US person or entity that carries out transactions with either countries’ oil companies. A US Treasury spokesperson said the department was “concerned” about reports of oil deals between Venezuela and Iran, but had not verified details. Washington has also sanctioned foreign companies for receiving or shipping Venezuelan oil.

The pro-democracy group Hong Kong Alliance has decided to disband as pressure from Beijing continues, the group said on Saturday. The activist collective, dubbed the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, is the latest to buckle under the strain of a crackdown by Chinese authorities. Factions aligned with Beijing have ramped up pressure after pushing through a sweeping national security law in the once largely autonomous enclave. The majority of the members of the pro-democracy group voted for disbandment. Under the Hong Kong national security law, anything deemed to be subversive by Chinese authorities can be punished with up to life in jail.
