World Health Organization on Wednesday warned of «concerning trends» for Covid-19 ahead of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, calling for increased vaccinations and surveillance. While data is limited because many countries have stopped reporting Covid data, the UN health agency estimated that hundreds of thousands of people around the world were currently hospitalised with the virus. «We continue to see concerning trends for Covid-19 ahead of the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere,» WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told an online press conference. «Deaths are increasing in some parts of the Middle East and Asia, intensive care unit admissions are increasing in Europe and hospitalisations are increasing in several regions,» he said. But only 43 countries — less than a quarter of the 194 WHO member states — are reporting Covid deaths to the agency, and only 20 provide information about hospitalisations, he added. «We estimate that there are hundreds of thousands of people in hospital now for Covid,» said Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO's technical lead on Covid-19. «That is a worry given that when we get to colder months, in some countries, people tend to spend more time indoors together, and viruses that transmit through the air like Covid will take advantage of that,» she added. With influenza and RSV also circulating, Van Kerkhove emphasised the importance of testing, as well as vaccination. Tedros said while there is not currently a single dominant Covid variant worldwide, the EG.5 Omicron subvariant is on the rise. Small numbers of the highly mutated BA.2.86 subvariant have also now been detected in 11 countries, Tedros said.

Wagner Group as a terrorist organisation, media reports said on Tuesday, quoting Home Secretary Suella Braverman. The UK was set to make the Wagner Group a «proscribed» organisation under anti-terror laws, putting it on a par with Islamic State and al-Qaeda, a report in the Daily Mail said. «Wagner is a violent and destructive organisation which has acted as a military tool of Vladimir Putin's Russia overseas,» the newspaper quoted Braverman as saying. «While Putin's regime decides what to do with the monster it created, Wagner's continuing destabilising activities only continue to serve the Kremlin's political goals.» Under the Terrorism Act 2000 the home secretary has the power to proscribe an organisation if they believe it is involved in terrorism. A proscription order makes it a criminal offence to support the group. «They are terrorists, plain and simple — and this proscription order makes that clear in UK law,» a BBC report added, quoting the minister. «Wagner has been involved in looting, torture and barbarous murders,» Braverman added in the Daily Mail. The group's operations in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa «are a threat to global security,» she said. «That is why we are proscribing this terrorist organisation and continuing to aid Ukraine wherever we can in its fight against Russia.» Draft measures to ban the Wagner Group under the act will be laid in Parliament on Wednesday, the reports said. In July, Britain announced sanctions against 13 individuals and businesses it said had links to the Russian group in Africa, accusing it of crimes there including killings and torture.
