The European Union has officially reached its initial Covid-19 vaccination target, with 70 percent of eligible adults now fully vaccinated against the virus

The European Union Commission President says this achievement means more than 250 million people have now rolled up their sleeves – however, she warns that citizens “must remain vigilant”.

It comes as the E-U calls on more Europeans to get vaccinated quickly to “avoid a new wave of infections and to stop the emergence of new variants”.

However, behind this high average are smaller nations like Bulgaria lagging the chain, with just one in five eligible Bulgarians currently fully vaccinated.

Meanwhile, the Eiffel Tower and other tourist landmarks in France will now require visitors to show a Covid-19 vaccine pass, with other countries expected to follow suit.

The Commission has also pledged to help developing nations to reach vaccination targets, saying this pandemic will only end if it is defeated in every corner of the globe.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
