Morning news brief: China has ability to try to disturb rules-based order and more

Morning news brief: In this newsletter, we bring to you the biggest stories of June 8 so far. A new report by US agencies reveals that COVID-19 may have emerged from a lab, after all! The debates over Covid origins are going strong across the globe, with scientists urging further probe into the lab-leak theory. In neighbouring Canada, four Muslims were killed in a suspected hate crime after the assailant rammed their vehicle into five&nbsp;Muslims, immediately killing four and gravely injuring another. In an uncanny turn of events, the great granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi has been sentenced to seven years in jail for fraud crimes. On Tuesday, the White House announced that the summit meeting between US President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin next week in Geneva is about communicating America's views to the Russians and not about deliverables.
