Covid no longer global emergency but left economic scars

The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared that Covid-19 no longer represents a "global health emergency" but its economic impact stills exists.

The World Health Organisation says Covid- 19 is no longer a global health emergency, after three years of lives and economies turned upside down -- and millions of deaths.

Job creation in the US remained robust last month, despite turmoil in the banking sector and the impact of higher borrowing costs. Employers added 253,000 jobs, which was better than many analysts had expected.

Millions of people across the UK and beyond are preparing to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III - a symbolic ceremony combining a religious service and pageantry.
