Falmouth, United Kingdom:
G7 leaders will agree to expand global Covid vaccine manufacturing to provide at least one billion doses to the world through sharing and financing schemes, Britain said Thursday.
The UK, which is hosting the big powers' gathering in southwest England, added it would donate at least 100 million surplus doses within the next year, including five million beginning in the coming weeks.
The commitment follows growing calls for richer countries to step up their efforts to share Covid-19 shots with less developed nations, with charities warning the current situation is leading to "vaccine apartheid".
Britain, which has orders for more than 400 million doses, has faced criticism for failing to begin making donations to poorer countries.
But on the eve of welcoming world leaders from the group of seven wealthy nations to their first summit in almost two years, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson vowed that would soon change.
"As a result of the success of the UK's vaccine programme we are now in a position to share some of our surplus doses with those who need them," he said.
"In doing so we will take a massive step towards beating this pandemic for good.
"At the G7 Summit I hope my fellow leaders will make similar pledges so that, together, we can vaccinate the world by the end of next year and build back better from coronavirus."
A Downing Street statement said: "At the Summit world leaders are expected to announce they will provide at least one billion coronavirus vaccine doses to the world through dose sharing and financing and set out a plan to expand vaccine manufacturing in order to achieve that goal."
The UK will donate five million doses by the end of September, beginning in the coming weeks, primarily for use in the world's poorest countries, according to Johnson's office.
Britain has also committed to donating a further 95 million within the next year, including 25 million more by the end of 2021, it added.
Around 80 percent of the jabs will go to the Covax scheme, which aims to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines around the world, with the remainder shared bilaterally.
The United States said Thursday it would donate 500 million jabs to 92 poor and lower-middle-income nations.
Meanwhile EU members have agreed to donate at least 100 million doses by the end of 2021 -- with France and Germany each committing to providing 30 million.

Miami, United States:
Three people including a child were shot dead in a grocery store in Florida on Thursday, the latest in a series of shootings in the southern US state.
The shooting occurred in a Publix grocery store in Royal Palm Beach, 80 miles (130 kilometers) north of Miami, police said.
"Upon arrival deputies located three individuals deceased from gunshot wounds, one adult male, one adult female and one child," the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said. "The shooter is one of the deceased."
The sheriff's office did not provide any further information about the victims or circumstances beyond saying "this was not an active shooter situation."
This was the latest shooting in south Florida in recent days.
On Sunday, three people were killed and five wounded at a graduation party in Miami.
Two people were killed and at least 20 wounded a week earlier when three shooters fired "indiscriminately" into a crowd outside a concert in the Miami area, police said.

CARBIS BAY, England:
President Joe Biden on Thursday called a US donation of 500 million Covid vaccine doses to poorer countries a "historic step" in the fight against the global pandemic.
"This is about our responsibility, our humanitarian obligation to save as many lives as we can," he told reporters on the eve of the G7 summit in Cornwall, southwest England, adding it was also in the US interest because of the risk of variants.

</div>
CARBIS BAY, England:
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson hailed US President Joe Biden as "a big breath of fresh air" on Thursday because he wanted to work with London on a huge range of issues ranging from climate change and COVID-19 to security.
"It's a big breath of fresh air," Johnson said of the talks with Biden. "It's new, it's interesting and we're working very hard together. We went on for about an hour and 20 or so. It was a long, long, good session. We covered a huge range of subjects."
Biden is keen to try to use the trip to burnish his multilateral credentials after the tumult of Donald Trump's presidency, which left many US allies in Europe and Asia bewildered and some alienated.
Johnson played down differences with Washington over the impact of Brexit on the peace in Northern Ireland, saying that the United States, United Kingdom and European Union had "complete harmony" on finding solutions to uphold the 1998 peace deal.
"There's complete harmony on the need to keep going, find solutions, and make sure we uphold the Belfast Good Friday Agreement," Johnson said. "And I think what's interesting is Northern Ireland is a fantastic place and it's got amazing potential. It is a great, great part of the UK."
Asked if Biden had made his alarm about the situation in Northern Ireland very clear, Johnson said: "No he didn't."
"America, the United States, Washington, the UK, plus the European Union have one thing we absolutely all want to do," Johnson said. "And that is to uphold the Belfast Good Friday Agreement, and make sure we keep the balance of the peace process going. That is absolutely common ground," Johnson said.
"You know, I'm optimistic."

Paris:
French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday warned the UK that it was "not serious" to review agreements on Brexit, as tensions over trade rules for Northern Ireland risked overshadowing the G7 summit.
"I think it is not serious to want to revisit, in the month of July, what we finalised after years of work on December," Macron said before heading to the G7 in southwest England.
In a warning to Prime Minister Boris Johnson whom he will meet on the sidelines of the summit, Macron added: "I believe in the power of treaties. I believe in seriousness. Nothing is renegotiable. Everything is applicable."

London:
Police said they had arrested a man for a bomb hoax near to the media centre set up to cover the G7 summit south west England after officers were forced to evacuate a hotel in response to reports of a suspicious package early on Thursday morning.
Officers were called out to the hotel in Falmouth, where most media covering the meeting of the global leaders are based, at about 3.15 a.m. local time after the package was found.
A Royal Navy bomb disposal unit was called in and declared it unviable, but only after about 100 people from a hotel and surrounding properties were evacuated.
Police said a 20-year-old man from Falmouth had been arrested on suspicion of a bomb hoax and was now in custody.
U.S. President Joe Biden arrived in Britain on Wednesday evening and he is staying at the seaside resort of Carbis Bay, about 25 miles away from Falmouth.
There is a large security operation in place for the G7 event, the first in-person meeting of the leaders of major developed economies for nearly two years, with 5,000 police officers drafted in from across Britain.
Police have closed off roads and coastal paths to Carbis Bay, the small seaside resort which is hosting the event, and erected a steel fence around the venue, with armed officers on patrol.
Activists have vowed to stage disruptive and annoying protests during the event to highlight their causes.
