Global infant vaccination levels have stabilised after shrinking during the Covid crisis, the UN said Tuesday, but it warned that misinformation and drastic aid cuts were deepening dangerous coverage gaps and putting millions at risk.In 2024, 85 per cent of infants globally, or 109 million, had received three doses of the vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP), with the third dose serving as a key marker for global immunisation coverage, according to data published by the UN health and children's agencies.That marked an increase of one percentage point and a million more children covered than a year earlier, in what the agencies described as "modest" gains.At the same time, nearly 20 million infants missed at least one of their DTP doses last year, including 14.3 million so-called zero-dose" children who never received a single shot.While a slight improvement over 2023, when the United Nations said there were 14.5 million zero-dose children, it was 1.4 million more than in 2019 -- before the Covid pandemic wreaked havoc on global vaccination programmes."The good news is that we have managed to reach more children with life-saving vaccines," UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said in a joint statement."But millions of children remain without protection against preventable diseases," she said.

World off track on vaccine goals amid aid cuts, misinformation surge warns UN

Dark sci-fi office drama Severance, gritty hospital series The Pitt and buzzy teen murder saga Adolescence are expected to pile up nominations for this year's Emmys when the contenders for television's Oscars are revealed Tuesday. &nbsp;Nominees will be announced in a live-streamed ceremony starting at 8:30 am (1530 GMT), after which final-round voting begins for the 77th Emmy Awards, set for September 14. &nbsp;Here are five things to look out for:&nbsp;<h2>- Innie/Outie vs ER -</h2>&nbsp;After last year's record-breaking 18 Emmys for Japan-set historical epic Shogun, this year's competition looks to be more nuanced.Apple TV+'s Severance, in which employees of biotech company Lumon have their memories surgically separated between their innie work lives and their outie personal lives, looks to be atop most predictions. &nbsp;"It's a really great show that is going to get... a ton of nominations," Deadline awards expert Pete Hammond told AFP. &nbsp;"It'll be stronger than it was" in its first season, added Hammond, who sees star Adam Scott as a sure bet for a best drama actor nod.The Pitt -- HBO Max's take on the travails of a Pittsburgh emergency room team during one 15-hour shift, covered effectively in real time -- has won over critics and audiences alike. It stars ER veteran Noah Wyle. "It's ER on steroids!" Hammond quipped. But Wyle's chances to win for best actor are crimped by Scott and a shortlist of other performers including Oscar winner Gary Oldman in Apple's dysfunctional spy drama Slow Horses or Pedro Pascal in HBO's apocalyptic video game adaptation The Last of Us.

Dark sci-fi office drama Severance, gritty hospital series The Pitt and buzzy teen murder saga Adolescence are expected to pile up nominations for this year's Emmys when the contenders for television's Oscars are revealed Tuesday. Nominees will be announced in a live-streamed ceremony starting at 8:30 am (1530 GMT), after which final-round voting begins for the 77th Emmy Awards, set for September 14. Here are five things to look out for: - Innie/Outie vs ER - After last year's record-breaking 18 Emmys for Japan-set historical epic Shogun, this year's competition looks to be more nuanced. Apple TV+'s Severance, in which employees of biotech company Lumon have their memories surgically separated between their innie work lives and their outie personal lives, looks to be atop most predictions. "It's a really great show that is going to get... a ton of nominations," Deadline awards expert Pete Hammond told AFP. "It'll be stronger than it was" in its first season, added Hammond, who sees star Adam Scott as a sure bet for a best drama actor nod.

In the supporting acting categories, the many stars of The White Lotus are expected to earn nominations. - Comedy crapshoot - In the comedy categories, perennial favorites Hacks and The Bear are expected to do battle once again. HBO Max's Hacks -- starring Jean Smart as a stand-up comedian who locks horns with her dysfunctional millennial assistant -- won for best comedy and best actress in September last year. The Bear, a dark satire set in the Chicago restaurant world, took the top prize at the previous ceremony (held in January 2024 due to Hollywood strikes), and star Jeremy Allen White has two trophies for best actor.

There is nothing Hollywood loves more than a show about... Hollywood. - Is 'Adolescence' unbeatable? - In the limited series categories, Netflix's Adolescence -- which follows the case of a 13-year-old British boy accused of murdering a female classmate -- is the wide favorite. "It's close to a sure thing in terms of getting nominations across the board," Hammond said, adding: "I don't see what's going to come up and beat it in the limited series category." Breakout young star Owen Cooper is widely expected to earn a nomination for limited series supporting actor, and series creator Stephen Graham is a shoo-in for best actor. The four-part series was lauded for its production values, with each episode shot in one take. Another Netflix contender in these categories is Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, a true-crime saga about a pair of California brothers in prison for killing their parents, after what they say was years of sexual and physical abuse. Alfonso Cuaron's Disclaimer, starring Cate Blanchett and Kevin Kline, and The Penguin, with Colin Farrell as the comic book villain, are expected to win acting nominations. - Big day for Apple TV+? - In recent years, streaming services have led the charge for Emmy nominations, with traditional networks relegated to a handful of nods. With Severance, The Studio, Disclaimer and Slow Horses, Apple TV+ could have its best year yet. "Normally we see HBO and Netflix leading the thing," Hammond said, but he predicted: "Apple is going to have the best year they've ever had in terms of nominations." - From nominations to gala - Harvey Guillen (What We Do in the Shadows) and Brenda Song (Running Point) will unveil the nominations on Tuesday. Voting members of the US-based Television Academy will then have a month to catch up on their viewing before final-round voting begins in mid-August. The September 14 gala will be hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze.

2025 Emmy nominations predictions: Severance, Adolescence, The White Lotus among top contenders

Jannik Sinner has warned Carlos Alcaraz that he will get even stronger after beating his arch-rival to win his first Wimbledon title on Sunday (Jul 13). Sinner avenged an agonising French Open final loss against Alcaraz as he battered the Spaniard into submission with a dynamic display of power hitting on Centre Court. The Italian's 4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory ended Alcaraz's two-year reign as Wimbledon champion and gave Sinner his fourth Grand Slam crown. Sinner has reached the last four Grand Slam finals, winning three of them, and the world number one has no intention of resting on his laurels.&nbsp;"I don't think I'm at my best because at 23 I don't think you can be in your best shape ever. So hopefully I can keep improving," he said. "I keep looking up to Carlos because even today I felt like he was doing couple of things better than I did.&nbsp;"That's something we will work on and prepare ourselves because he's going to come for us again.&nbsp;"We have a big target on us, so we have to be prepared."&nbsp;It was a cathartic triumph for Sinner after he squandered a two-set lead and blew three championship points against Alcaraz at Roland Garros in June.&nbsp;Alcaraz had won five successive encounters against the 23-year-old, including finals in Paris, Rome and Beijing, prior to their showdown at the All England Club.&nbsp;Sinner admitted it was vital to finally beat the world number two for the first time since 2023.&nbsp;"It is important, for sure, because you know, when you lose several times against someone, it's not easy. But in the same time in the past I felt that I was very close," he said. “I never pushed myself down. I felt like I did something great because it has been not easy. Coming here and winning Wimbledon, it has been amazing.”<h2>‘The rivalry is real’</h2>&nbsp;While Sinner had spent the last five weeks publicly insisting he would not let his French Open collapse affect him, he revealed he had to work hard to move on from the loss before launching his Wimbledon challenge.&nbsp;"This is the part where I'm the proudest because it really has not been easy. I always tried to be honest with myself and had the self-talk. You know, what if, what if? I tried to accept it, in a way," said Sinner, who returned from a three-month doping ban in May. "Even if I don't cry, it feels emotional because only me and the people who are close to me know exactly what we have been through on and off the court, and it has been everything except easy.&nbsp;"We've tried to push, you know, every practice session, even I was struggling at times mentally.&nbsp;&nbsp;"That's why I also said after Roland Garros that it's not the time to put me down, no, because another Grand Slam is coming up, and I did great here."&nbsp;Sinner and Alcaraz have won the past seven majors between them, establishing themselves in a class of their own.&nbsp;Sinner's coach Darren Cahill expects the pair to battle for supremacy for years to come, but he stopped short of comparing it to the dynastic era of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic.&nbsp;"It's difficult to compare this rivalry to what we've just had. It's been a golden age in tennis with Novak and Roger and Rafa. They dominated for 20 years," Cahill said. "To win a Grand Slam back in those days, you had to beat one of them in the quarters, the other one in the semis, and another one in the final.&nbsp;"These guys still have a ways to go, but they've started incredibly well. Carlos is a big focus, and both of those guys are pushing each other.&nbsp;&nbsp;"The rivalry is real. Hopefully it's going to be there for the next 10 or 12 years."&nbsp;Disclaimer: This story has been published from a news agency feed with minimal edits to adhere to WION's style guide.

West Indies' fragile batting line-up was again exploited by Australia with the hosts routed for 143 in their first innings in an eventful middle session on the second day of the day/night third Test at Sabina Park in Jamaica on Sunday.&nbsp;A day after the visitors lost their last seven wickets for 68 runs to be dismissed for 225, the Caribbean side were marginally worse, their last seven wickets tumbling for 61 as Australia's array of seamers ran riot against players ill-equipped for such a challenge.Australia will start their second innings under lights, when the pink ball tends to be even more of a challenge for batsmen, with a lead of 82 runs.&nbsp;Scott Boland, selected at the expense of veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon, led the demolition with three for 34.&nbsp;Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins claimed two wickets each in a performance that was nevertheless far from flawless as wicketkeeper Alex Carey missed two chances that could have worsened the West Indies plight.&nbsp;However, such was the discomfort of the home batsmen that they were incapable of making the most of those lapses.&nbsp;Indeed, some of their wounds were self-inflicted via poor shot selection and then Justin Greaves, one of the beneficiaries of Carey's error-strewn late afternoon, ran himself out going for a third run to Sam Konstas' throw from the cover boundary.&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/why-donald-trump-was-booed-at-the-fifa-club-world-cup-final-in-new-jersey-1752456006040">Why Donald Trump was booed at the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey?</a>&nbsp;Having bowled without success in the day's first session when two wickets fell, Boland triggered the final slide when he had John Campbell leg-before offering no shot for a top-score of 36.

Scott Boland, selected at the expense of veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon, led the demolition with three for 34. Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins claimed two wickets each in a performance that was nevertheless far from flawless as wicketkeeper Alex Carey missed two chances that could have worsened the West Indies plight. However, such was the discomfort of the home batsmen that they were incapable of making the most of those lapses. Indeed, some of their wounds were self-inflicted via poor shot selection and then Justin Greaves, one of the beneficiaries of Carey's error-strewn late afternoon, ran himself out going for a third run to Sam Konstas' throw from the cover boundary. ALSO READ | Why Donald Trump was booed at the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey? Having bowled without success in the day's first session when two wickets fell, Boland triggered the final slide when he had John Campbell leg-before offering no shot for a top-score of 36. He also bowled Shai Hope, who had the next best effort of 23 and then rounded off the innings with the wicket of Shamar Joseph. At the start of the day, the West Indies found free scoring almost impossible on a seamer-friendly surface against an attack offering very few scoring opportunities. Just 57 runs came off 23 overs for the loss of two wickets. Hazlewood and captain Cummins were the successful bowlers on a humid afternoon, accounting for the overnight pair of Brandon King and Roston Chase. King was trapped lbw by a full delivery from Hazlewood while Australian captain Cummins removed his West Indian counterpart via an edge to Usman Khawaja at first slip as Chase failed to effectively negotiate a ball which lifted sharply off a good length. Australia are seeking a clean sweep of the series after victories in the first two Tests in Barbados and Grenada. West Indies' last Test match victory over Australia in the Caribbean was in 2003 when they set a new record for successful run-chases in Test cricket in reaching 418 for seven in Antigua to deny Ricky Ponting's team of a whitewash of the four-match series.

Cole Palmer scored two goals and made another as Chelsea stunned Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Club World Cup on Sunday, beating the European champions 3-0 before lifting the trophy alongside US President Donald Trump. PSG were the favourites after coming to the United States fresh from winning the Champions League and having destroyed Real Madrid 4-0 in the semi-finals. But having been three goals ahead early on in the semis, this time the roles were reversed as PSG found themselves 3-0 down by the break. Palmer opened the scoring midway through the first half and struck again to make it two on the half-hour mark, before taking advantage of passive defending to set up Joao Pedro for the third on 43 minutes. A bad day for PSG was summed up when Joao Neves was shown red following a VAR review four minutes from the end for pulling Marc Cucurella by the hair off the ball. "Being Club World Cup champion is something for us to be proud of. We are very happy, especially against a team in PSG who I consider the best in the world with one of the best managers in the world," said Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca, before hailing match-winner Palmer. "These are the games where we expect Cole to appear because it is a big game, a big moment, and once again he showed how good he is." Before Chelsea got to lift the trophy, tensions spilled over at full-time with players facing off on the pitch and Paris coach Luis Enrique raising his arm to the neck of Joao Pedro. "There was a lot of pushing and shoving. It was a situation that obviously should have been avoided, but my intention was clearly just to try to separate the players," said Luis Enrique. The scoreline was one few could have predicted as Chelsea capped what has been a long but memorable season -- they are the first ever winners of the 32-team Club World Cup having also won the UEFA Conference League and finished fourth in the Premier League. They will also take away around $125 million in prize money, meaning the prospect of a drastically curtailed summer break before returning for next season will surely feel worth it. For PSG, meanwhile, the financial rewards are similar but there will be genuine disappointment at falling short of adding this title to their Champions League triumph and French league and cup double. Nevertheless, conquering Europe was always the main aim this season for Luis Enrique's team, who now have exactly a month to digest this and take a holiday before returning to action in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham Hotspur. ALSO READ | Why Donald Trump was booed at the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey? Trump in attendance There was a real sense of occasion at the MetLife Stadium, with the backdrop of the Manhattan skyline and with Trump in attendance along with First Lady Melania Trump in a crowd of 81,118. For the second time in six weeks PSG found themselves involved in a final that quickly turned into a one-sided affair. The club claimed a historic 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the Champions League final, but here they were ripped apart by Chelsea. The opening goal came in the 22nd minute as Malo Gusto got the better of Nuno Mendes down the right before seeing his shot blocked by Lucas Beraldo. The ball came back to Gusto and he teed up Palmer to finish into the bottom-left corner. Palmer has been the face of Chelsea on billboards in the United States during the tournament and he lived up to his star status by scoring again on the half-hour. Released on the right with PSG left-back Mendes out of position, Palmer advanced towards the box before stroking a low shot into the same corner. Joao Pedro played a part in the build-up to that goal and the Brazilian, signed during the tournament from Brighton, then got his name on the scoresheet to make it 3-0. Scorer of both goals against Fluminense in the semi-finals, he clipped a shot past Gianluigi Donnarumma after being supplied by Palmer. PSG had conceded a single goal in their previous eight matches and they never really looked like producing a comeback, even if Neves headed just wide in first-half stoppage time. Substitute Liam Delap almost got a fourth for Chelsea midway through the second half, before Neves was shown red to complete a bad day for PSG.

The president has kept the Club World Cup trophy next to his desk in the Oval Office since the FIFA president dropped by in March. Infantino, who is no stranger to dealing with hard-nosed world leaders including Russia's Vladimir Putin ahead of the 2018 World Cup, thanked Trump for his support on Saturday.

Most of the players looked bemused before Juventus general manager Damien Comolli replied: "We have a very good women's team." "He's being very diplomatic," said Trump. Trump's hardline immigration crackdown -- part of his "America First" policy – has meanwhile sparked fears that football fans will be discouraged from coming to the United States for the 2026 World Cup.

Why Donald Trump was booed at the FIFA Club World Cup final in New Jersey?

India suffered a dramatic top-order slump to set up a thrilling finale to the third Test against England at Lord's on Sunday. The tourists had the upper hand after dismissing England for just 192 in their second innings, with off-spinner Washington Sundar taking 4-22, including the wickets of Joe Root, Jamie Smith and England captain Ben Stokes on the fourth day. That left India needing 193 to go 2-1 up in this five-match series after both teams made 387 in their first innings. India, however, collapsed to 58-4 at stumps, with the tourists requiring a further 135 runs to win on Monday's final day.&nbsp;Yashasvi Jaiswal was out for a duck, skying a hook off express fast bowler Jofra Archer to wicketkeeper Smith. Karun Nair was lbw to Brydon Carse with India captain Shubman Gill, who has already scored a double hundred and two centuries this series, falling in similar fashion.
