U.S. offers vaccines to North Korea amid COVID-19 surge
U.S. President Joe Biden says North Korea is yet to respond to his administration’s offer for Covid vaccines despite the rogue nation battling a severe outbreak
North Korean officials say around 2.5 million people have been infected, with residents particularly vulnerable due to low medical supplies and testing capabilities.
Biden says the U.S. has offered vaccines to both North Korea and China and these can be dispatched immediately if required.
North Korea has previously previously turned down offers of vaccines from the global Covid vaccine sharing scheme known as Covax.
State authorities are currently recommending remedies including herbal tea, gargling salt-water and painkillers to treat Covid symptoms.
Meanwhile, leader Kim Jong-Un is accusing officials of failing to distribute national medicine reserves efficiently.

Stephen Colbert condemns censorship and calls out Trump in powerful monologue dedicated to Jimmy Kimmel’s suspended show.
Stephen Colbert’s opening monologue is being hailed as one of the most powerful moments in modern late-night history. Standing on stage at the Ed Sullivan Theatre, Colbert dedicated his show to Jimmy Kimmel and his team after ABC suspended Kimmel’s programme under pressure from Washington.
Colbert called the move “blatant censorship” and directly accused President Trump of acting like an autocrat. “With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” he warned, making clear that the stakes reach far beyond late-night comedy.
